Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black

00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: Welcome back on Dale Lolly william Sin. This is the

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 2: drive on his Steelers Nation Radio and it's time for

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: the Fantasy Football Focus as we do here to kick

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: off our two every week of.

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 3: A special edition.

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Matt and I had our Common League draft here.

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 2: He had the third pick. I had the ninth eighth pick.

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, eighth pick. You wound up with Christian McCaffrey

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: in the first round.

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, your buddies were kind enough not to take McCaffrey

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 3: with either of the two picks, and I hesitated very

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: little to jump on that one, hoping week ones on

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 3: his best week. But I'll take McCaffrey at three anytime.

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: So our first round went justin Jefferson, which I understood.

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: Austin Ekeler. I thought I would get at Lar Christian McCaffrey,

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey at four.

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: Ouch. I mean it's not a bad pick.

21
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: I thought I would be looking here at eight and

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: looking at a choice between Travis kelcey or b Jehn Robinson.

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: I'd get one of those two guys. It didn't happen

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: that way. Jamar Chase went at five. I understood that too,

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: but Jehan Robinson at six.

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: My other league that picked the day before yours. I

27
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 3: took him at five, which was a little rich.

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: But Tyreek Hill went seventh.

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: That's a nice spot for him.

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was hoping maybe he would fall too. I

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: ended up them with those guys off though I was

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: hoping you were eight, right, Yeah, I was hoping Kelsey. Well,

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: I wasn't hoping Kelsey, but I thought he I might

34
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: have to make that choice. I was hoping for b

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: Jeon Robinson or Tyreek Hill is what I was talking.

36
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: And both of them were gone.

37
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: Is it safe to say that your favorite seven fell?

38
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: Maybe not even, but at least six?

39
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah?

40
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe Kelsey. Yeah.

41
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: I did a bunch of mock drafts right, ended up

42
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: taking Kelsey just to see how it worked out, what

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: worked best for me to build to get the best draft.

44
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: And I thought I had it down. You felt good

45
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: about it, and everything was out the window.

46
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: The few that we did, and I did a couple

47
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: on my own. Two with Kelsey.

48
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: I never liked them, yeah, but especially he doesn't play

49
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: this week, So I ended up taking Sae Kwon Barkley

50
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: at eight.

51
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, your buddies were shocked to Penn State or I

52
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: didn't love it. I don't love it either, but it's

53
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 3: probably fine.

54
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he was the guy that like. Okay,

55
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: then Patrick Mahomes went at nine, which.

56
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: I understand, but that's rich.

57
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 2: That's too much. It's too high. Derrick Henry at ten

58
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: also I thought was early. Stefan Digs at eleven. I considered.

59
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: I considered Digs there at eight.

60
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: I think he's super safe.

61
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Nick Chubb at twelve.

62
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: I like that pick. I would take Chubb over Henry.

63
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: Ceedee lamb at then went with the first pick of

64
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: round two. I thought about he was in consideration everything,

65
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: and when Tony Pollard, DeVante Adams, Josh Jacobs and I

66
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: looked at it and so, okay, there were no running

67
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: backs there that I wanted to take that high, and.

68
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: At least you had one in the bank.

69
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So I took Garrett Wilson.

70
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: I think that's a great pick. I mean, I think

71
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: he could be a All Pro this year. I really

72
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: think he's a superstar in the making.

73
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: The guy that you saw was the one that I looked.

74
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 2: I I wanted to take a lave there. I would

75
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: take Wilson over a love. It was so so mixing

76
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: went after my pick.

77
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: I just thrilled to mix. He's not for me.

78
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: Then Cooper Cup went at seven in the second round.

79
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there was bad news, but I as bad

80
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: news as there is right now.

81
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh. Then you had a Mon Ross, Saint Brown,

82
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: A J. Brown, Chrystal Lave, Jaylen Waddle, Nausea Harris.

83
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: And I was the lave picker. Yeah, yeah, I was

84
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: pretty happy he fell to that point.

85
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: In round three, you ended up with Davonte Smith.

86
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 3: M hm, him too.

87
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you had T Higgins on the on the board,

88
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones was still there, Jamiir Gribbs, Josh Allen went

89
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: right after that.

90
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: I considered Alan, That's not my style. But Alan was

91
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: the one I was thinking about at that point, like,

92
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: if I can get my quarterback one at this point

93
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: McCaffrey and Allen every week, that could be really strong,

94
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: that could be good. This is not my style. Took

95
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: a safer pick.

96
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: I took it right after Allan went. I took Calvin

97
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: Ridley in round three.

98
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: I admit, I probably more so in my other leaguehere

99
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: I picked five. I would have bet that if someone said, hey, Matt,

100
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: in that draft, who's gonna be your third round pick?

101
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: I said, Calvin Ridley, And there's I liked Smith just

102
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 3: a little better, you know. I just I would think

103
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: you'd be very happy.

104
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: With those those receivers that went in that round. It

105
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: was Metcalf, DeVante Smith, t Higgins, Calvin Ridley, Amari Cooper,

106
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: and Deebo Samuel.

107
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 3: That was early for Cooper for me, Yeah, you were

108
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: happy to see him, I was.

109
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: He went right after my pick, right after your Yeah.

110
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at it, Ridley, I don't

111
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: know if he's the most the most number one, I

112
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: mean the most number one is Yeah, Metcalf's a number

113
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: one guy, but he has to share with Lockett and

114
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: and Smith and Jigba, right.

115
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: He's definitely the one of all those two.

116
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I I was happy that DeVante Smith and

117
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: no offense at Dvante Smith, Te Higgins. I'm like, I

118
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: didn't want to have to. I didn't want to take

119
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: a number two. There's a lot of them this year,

120
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: and the same thing with Deebo Samuel. Really, I think

121
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: I probably ends up. I'll score you maybe more than

122
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: Samuel and I like Lockett more metcalf H In round

123
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 2: four we came back. I took this one. Was so

124
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker went, Damian Pierce, Lamar Jackson, who I was

125
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: hoping would follow me there in round four. Then Keenan

126
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: Allen went ahead of me, and I was kind of

127
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: like ugh, and it came.

128
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 3: Down like all those players. I wouldn't have liked that,

129
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: those guys falling off the board. So it came down

130
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 3: to me between consider Lamar with your third pick.

131
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: I did, Yeah, yeah, I can wait one more because

132
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: I knew you weren't.

133
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 3: Me I was. I thought I had no chance from

134
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: the fourth round.

135
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. So after Keenan Allen, when I looked at him, like, okay,

136
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: it's Mark Andrews or Deontay Johnson. Really, I mean I

137
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 2: didn't like any of the running backs there. Rashad White

138
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: was in the neighborhood.

139
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, the volume guys that aren't very.

140
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: I'm just liking round four. Him like Mark Andrews shouldn't

141
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: still be there in round four.

142
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 3: No, he shouldn't. I know, it broke your heart and

143
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 3: we've never drafted him once. On the drive. But you

144
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: went for it and your buddies couldn't believe it. But

145
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: he should have been around earlier.

146
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he should have been that in that previous like

147
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: he should have gone before Amari Cooper, Like.

148
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: If he's not a raven, I bet one of your

149
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: buddies takes him around earlier.

150
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: Probably. Yeah, And then you came back and took Justin Fields.

151
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 3: I think Herbert went to pick before he went.

152
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: Two picks before them were shawb White, then Justin Fields,

153
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: then James Connor and Dj Moore.

154
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: I was like the white James Connor neighborhood.

155
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: If I get a yeah, I just didn't want to

156
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: do on.

157
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: Quarter running back number two.

158
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: Round five you came back and I'm surprised by this one.

159
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: So Burrow went with first pick in round five. Then Hawkinson,

160
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: you took Bresee Hall.

161
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: I know I keep referencing both drafts. He's the only

162
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: player that I took in both drafts and it was

163
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: a fifth round. I would have never thought that was true.

164
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: I am big on teams tell you what they think

165
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: and all the money and stuff that they're spending on

166
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: other running backs. Sure screams like they're you know, not

167
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: convinced that he's ready to rock. But I've bit into

168
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 3: the reports. The last couple of days, he's been active.

169
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: He's been doing everything in practice. I don't even know

170
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: if i'll start in week one. I might have to

171
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: sit a week and hang.

172
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you end up with Dalvin Cook, will you start.

173
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: Him in week one? Yes, I don't blame.

174
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: It, yeah, as my flex, but I'll start. It's interesting

175
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: that you took call there because the next pick was

176
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: your guy, Christian Watson.

177
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: Thought about him, but I had two receivers in the books,

178
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: and I was happy to see like Connor and white Gill,

179
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: I at least went to back with some upside.

180
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: So those picks then after Watson went were Alvin Kamara,

181
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: Alexander Madison, James Cook. I was surprised Cook went that high.

182
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: I'm a Cook believer, but I thought I might get

183
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: him the round after. Yeah, I was.

184
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: I was hoping he would fall there. So I said, okay,

185
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to take the last stud quarterback guy. I

186
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: feels his stud quarterback. I took Trevor Lawrence.

187
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: I don't blame you too.

188
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: Then Miles Sanders went, Mike Williams, Mike Evans, George Pickens

189
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: against home like Pittsburgh League. Uh, that's Rake London.

190
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: Before after Deontay.

191
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: That was after a full round after Yeah, okay, Uh

192
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: them Drake London, Dak Prescott, Darren Waller, who I would

193
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: have considered if I hadn't taken Andrews.

194
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: But most of those guys that went the round after

195
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: your pick and the round coming up to your pick,

196
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 3: I bet you weren't broken hearted about no, like Waller

197
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: you would have liked.

198
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 2: But yeah, Zay Flowers went in round six, which I

199
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: was ambitious, really ambitious. And then I grabbed David Montgomery

200
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 2: in round.

201
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 3: Solid, super solid.

202
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: All the news coming out of Detroit this past weekend, Well,

203
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: Jamior Gibbs is going to play a lot of wide receiver.

204
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 3: And they need him to.

205
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: They need they don't have any other wide receivers. He's

206
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: playing in the slot. Who's going to run the football?

207
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 3: They're gonna be on the field together, mcgoe as much

208
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: as maybe any backfield in the league. I bet those

209
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: two on the field together as much as any.

210
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: David Montgomery is probably gonna rush for a thousand yards

211
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: this year.

212
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: I'd much rather have them than James Connor. Yeah, I mean,

213
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: he's on a good offense.

214
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: And a good offensive line and they're.

215
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if they feed him the ball to goal

216
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 3: line anything half as much as Jamal Williams, He's a

217
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 3: quality RB two.

218
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: Then Javonte Williams went, then George Kittle. Yeah, so Kittle

219
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: went in that six round, then Dallas Goddard. So that

220
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: tight end run kind of started there.

221
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: So that was I think my next pick was a

222
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: tight end because.

223
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: Of that, and actually took then Cam Akers. You took

224
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: Tyler Lockett there in round six.

225
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: I actually thought about Locke at the round before. Yeah,

226
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 3: but I do this trick too, like in these drafts,

227
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: I scroll down the queue and be like, half these

228
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: people don't have their own list. He's pretty low. I

229
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: might be able to.

230
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 2: That's why I tried to do that a couple of times, and.

231
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: It bit me. It saved me a couple of times.

232
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 3: One guy late that I got for that reason that

233
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 3: you would have.

234
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: Taken Godwin went, then Isaiah Pacheck go to end round six,

235
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: top a round seven try. McLaurin was still on the

236
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: board now that the injury stuff.

237
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 3: Is locking ver Lucking versus Laurin was a conversation my mind.

238
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 3: That was the tie was broken because of the injury.

239
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: I hate that. It's a toe.

240
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. JK. Dobbins then went with the second picking round two.

241
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: That was the guy. I considered him with my previous pick,

242
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: but I'd already taken Andrews, like I can't be this

243
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: bought into the Ravens offense.

244
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: That was one of the few times I was truly sniped,

245
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: Like I was sitting there ready to draft Dobbins and

246
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: then I wasn't there anymore. That late though, with the

247
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: Connors of the world and those guys.

248
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're right, I was like, okay, uh, then

249
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: you took Kyle Pitts.

250
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: I did.

251
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: I considered that after Kyle Pitts discussion last week. You

252
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 2: took Kyle Pitts from round seven.

253
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: See again, I did a draft the day before, and

254
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: in that draft, I ended up with Watson, which I

255
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 3: wasn't happy with. I waited on quarterback, so this one,

256
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm gonna get one of the top six

257
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 3: or so, and I ended up with Chig as my

258
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: tight end. I was the last guy taking a tight end,

259
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 3: so I'm like, I don't want to be that guy again.

260
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 3: If I wait, No, I'm not gonna get pits. I

261
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: bet Friar Muth and Ingram are gone. I got a

262
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 3: long wait here, So I'm taking one of my top

263
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: seven or eight tight ends. Yeah.

264
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor then went in round seven.

265
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: I get it.

266
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 2: But man, that's so the guy who was the guy

267
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: who has Kelsey now also has Jonathan Taylor.

268
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: I thought it was a cup owner, but I know

269
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: somebody had two of tho. Yeah yeah ouch.

270
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: Then the one I was ready to draft this guy

271
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: with my next pick, Brandon Ayuk in round seven, he

272
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: went Christian Kirk then went, which was fine with me.

273
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: I did. I wasn't gonna have two jag red receivers

274
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 2: and their quarterback.

275
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: True.

276
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: But Brandon Cooks then went, and I'm like.

277
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, those are all quality guys.

278
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: Those are guys that I was looking at a receiver

279
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: at that point.

280
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

281
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. And so I ended up taking Jerry Judy there

282
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: in round seven.

283
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: Hopefully he plays sooner than later.

284
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't love it, but again, that's my third receiver.

285
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: So I mean, sometimes you gotta deal with the run. Yeah,

286
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: run like that happens, you can't ignore it.

287
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: And he was I mean, he probably should have gone

288
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 2: around before that. If he wasn't injured right now, he

289
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: would have. But without Quesse yeah. Uh. Then at nine,

290
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 2: right after me, Pat Friarmouth goes in round seven h

291
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: Khalil Herbert, aj Dillon, Evan Ingram. So that tight end

292
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: tight ends were really getting When.

293
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: I saw that, I'm like I made the right choice

294
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: on Pits.

295
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 2: I kind of started a tight end run there when

296
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: I took ye, yeah, getting They all went within three rounds.

297
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 3: I'd have been getting chiggy with it if I didn't

298
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 3: have done that round.

299
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman, then Courtland Sutton, Antonio Gibson. Oh, I'm sorry,

300
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm going backwards here. So Romeo Dobbs went to start

301
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: the round eight.

302
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: Then I thought that was really hard for him too.

303
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 3: Then David and Joku again tight end run, yeah.

304
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: Jordan Addison, Jeric McKinnon went with the pick ahead of me,

305
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: and I took a lot of touchdowns last year. I

306
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: guess it not for me. I then took Dalvin Cook.

307
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: I mean there were several times I thought about him,

308
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: because I mean I had I wanted him and Hall,

309
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: but I knew I kept playing chicken and was waiting

310
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: and wait we could talk at some point. I'm sure

311
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 3: we would, and I'm sure that crossed your mind when

312
00:12:58,679 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: you took him.

313
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: Uh. Then the pick after I took Dalvin Cook Cole

314
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: Comet went yeah.

315
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: Great if round eight, I mean think about for my

316
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: perspective after taking pits like five fights, well, right, might

317
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: take a backup.

318
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: You're picking him DeAndre Swift, Brian Robinson, Deshaun Watson. And

319
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 2: then you took Antonio Gibson.

320
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe my least favorite pick so far. It's fine.

321
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 3: I mean I don't love their blocking. I don't know

322
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: that he's a great player, but I think he'll be

323
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: the receiving back.

324
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Courtland Sutton. Then when and then Michael Pittman I

325
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: thought you might take Michael pitt.

326
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: Thought about it. I thought about it. I'm a fan.

327
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: Uh. Kicking off around hind was Juju Smith Schuster.

328
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

329
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 2: Did you see the reports about him that his knees

330
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: might blow up at any minute?

331
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: No? I didn't. Yeah, rooting for that for him, No,

332
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: but man's risky.

333
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 2: Uh. Then to a Tago Vailoa that was his number one,

334
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: that's his number one quarter quarterback. Then you took John Dotson,

335
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: who was I was really hoping to get to this nexte.

336
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: I was pretty talking about that one.

337
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was hoping to get him there. Marquise Brown

338
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: and then our first kicker and round nine Justin Tucker.

339
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: Now Justin Tucker is great, sure, fantastic. Folks don't take

340
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 2: a kicker in round nine and then and then the

341
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: guy who took him crode about it. I got the

342
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: best kicker in the game, good for you, good for

343
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: four rounds later and been perfectly fine.

344
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: You still could have got the best kicker in four

345
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 3: rounds later, and it gives you like a two point

346
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: advantage over me, and maybe maybe it's.

347
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: Very I mean I tried to get I put it

348
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: out there to get the kickers eliminated from you know,

349
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: you could when we when I played his team, Tucker

350
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: might only go out there and kicked three extra points.

351
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: It's possible, and do it great, and do it.

352
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: It's only three points.

353
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 3: Only three points. I took a kicker in the last round.

354
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: I think you did to I was late. Uh. Then

355
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, who's his starting quarterback, yuck uh Sky more

356
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: than went that one. Kind of sniper I was.

357
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: Thinking about more versus Dotson was a conversation.

358
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was hoping Dotson are sky Moore there, and

359
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 2: when I had done my mock drafts, they had fallen

360
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: that far and I'm like, Okay, this is where we're

361
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: going to take those guys. So I ended up pivoting

362
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: and taking Michael Thomas. I didn't love it.

363
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: But Risky, will you start him in week one? No?

364
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess he's in round nine. I've got

365
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: you got better guys.

366
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: He's my number four receiver essentially.

367
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: See what he doesn't round one? I mean if he

368
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 3: could have a good Week one.

369
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, if he goes out and plays well. I mean,

370
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: if you look at it, he played in four games

371
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: last year. I think he had twenty four targets and

372
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: caught sixteen passes.

373
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: I don't think he's fine. Yeah, he's just not reliable.

374
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 3: I would put him on the trade market maybe if

375
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: he's right after week one.

376
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: If he got well, then Rashad Penny went, which kind of.

377
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: Wouldn't I wouldn't mind him on the bench, yeh.

378
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: Then Raheem Moster, Gabe Davis, Alan lazard.

379
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 3: Zard was too early for me.

380
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jaylen Moore on the start Round ten, Sama j

381
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 2: p Ryan, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Tyler Boyd and then

382
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: my least favorite pick that I made, Jamison Williams in

383
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: round ten.

384
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: I was just that, Yeah, I.

385
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: Didn't like anybody else that was there. I've looked at

386
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: Jacoby Myers. I thought Jamison Williams versus Jacoby.

387
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: Myers was your mindset though.

388
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: I need a receiver here because Judy is hurt right

389
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: because Michael Thomas, I don't know what he is.

390
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 3: Like, Yeah, but Williams doesn't play until week seven.

391
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, I know. I like I said, I

392
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: didn't move for me. He doesn't move the needle at all.

393
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: And I looked at you, Zach Sharbonet who you ended

394
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: up taking.

395
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: That was my next back, I think.

396
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: And I'm like, okay, I got three pretty good running

397
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 2: backs here. I'm gonna go for another wide receiver and hope,

398
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: I you know, just load up.

399
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: I love Williams as a player, I just hate sitting

400
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 3: the guy on my bench that long, especially in this league,

401
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: like my other league doesn't have a kicker, and we

402
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: have an extra round, so when you're at the end,

403
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't want anybody in this one. There

404
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: was like fifteen dudes that I wish I could stick

405
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 3: on my roster, now, you know.

406
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you took after Jacoby Myers went, you took

407
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: Zach Sharboney. Then Jamal Williams.

408
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: Went, yeah, that's I thought he'd go earlier in that

409
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: I did too. I'm not psyched about it.

410
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: No, Normind I'm glad he was gone. But top of

411
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: round eleven, Ezekiel Elliott went, yuck.

412
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 3: I don't even know if he's a true handcuff for

413
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 3: Andre this.

414
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: After the guy who took ezek Elliott took Dalton Schultz,

415
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 2: that's his starting tight end.

416
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 3: Schultz soon yuck uh.

417
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 2: Then Chig went, breaking your heart. Then you took Tank Bigsby,

418
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: who I was really hoping to get through to that round.

419
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: H I should have taken him instead of taking Jameis

420
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 2: and Williams. I should have taken Tank Bigsby there. I

421
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: thought about him and sharbon Ay and I passed.

422
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 3: Who was my pick before Charbonay Dotson. Yeah, I thought

423
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: about Bigsby there because I thought I was weaker at

424
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: running back than wide receiver.

425
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: When you took sharbon Ay, I thought for sure I

426
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: was gonna get Biggsby. I didn't think he would take

427
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: both of them. Oh, yeah.

428
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: So a couple of notes on that is, Bigsby was

429
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: my highest rank guy, even higher than sharbon A. But

430
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 3: I did the trick like Sharbona is like third in

431
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 3: the Q. Bigsby's like fiftieth. Yeah, these an't gonna take

432
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 3: it right. Yeah. And then another thing I didn't realize

433
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 3: that I wish we would have thought of months ago

434
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 3: when we were doing mocks. In these two drafts, I

435
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 3: found myself in this neighborhood just collecting really young running backs.

436
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 3: It's like in these two leagues, I own a lot

437
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: of like Roshawn Johnson, Spears, Bigsby, Kendre miller As and

438
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: just took a lot of them. You know, two will hit.

439
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, after your pick. Then Dalton Kinkaid went another tight end.

440
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: I didn't think that was a bad pick that.

441
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 2: Late Elijah Mitchell, Kenny Pickett went in the middle of.

442
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 3: The I would have guessed earlier.

443
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: Round eleven. Then the Steelers defense, Yeah, like come on,

444
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: they were the first. They were the first defense taken,

445
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: which I get it. But around eleven.

446
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: You're wearing your TJ Watchers. Yeah, I mean, it's fun.

447
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 2: Then I took Tyler algaere mm hmm. The forty nine

448
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: Ers defense then went minus minus Bosa, then Aaron Rodgers

449
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 2: Gino Smith, who is his a starter? Right? Yeah? And

450
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: then Daniel Carlson another kicker in round eleven too early,

451
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: and theel and DJ Shark so back to back Carolina

452
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: wide receivers like.

453
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 3: And Mingo might even be better in both of them,

454
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 3: who knows.

455
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 2: Then the Bills defense.

456
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 3: I get that the defensive run. But to me, I

457
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 3: looked at these defenses and thought, there's about fifteen I

458
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: can live with. Yeah, and my favorite ones have awful schedules, right,

459
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: that's the thing. Bills, and like.

460
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: You had to look at these schedules and say, okay,

461
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: who are you playing here over the first few weeks

462
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 2: of the season. You may be cutting these defenses. After

463
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks when you take get three points.

464
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 3: Out of them, Yeah, I mean they might be great defenses,

465
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 3: but they got tough schedules this year.

466
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: Then Harrison Butker went right round twelve.

467
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, defenses and kickers go and we're making me happy.

468
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: And I took Rashaan Bateman like.

469
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: I don't blame me. That's because you love Ravens.

470
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: I apparently do. But if you look at the games

471
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: that were Sean Bateman and Lamar Jackson played in last year. Yeah,

472
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: it was pretty good.

473
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 3: I mean him him or Xa vers Odell to me

474
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 3: is almost a three way time. I think Odell's last

475
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: for me.

476
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: That was six rounds after Flowers went and back, and

477
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: two rounds after Beckham went.

478
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 3: I remember when you took Bateman. He was clearly my

479
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: top receiver on my spreadsheet, you know, like sitting way

480
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 3: above the clouds area.

481
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 2: I mean, if I couldn't pass on it, even though

482
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 2: I already had Andrews, I'm like football, I am all

483
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 2: in on the Ravens passing game of this. Yeah, you

484
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: came back then and took Elijah Moore.

485
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: He was another one I couldn't believe was still that

486
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: now too. I stand corrected. Bateman and Moore were both

487
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 3: standing alone, and I'm like, if I can get one

488
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 3: of those two, I just have to jump on him.

489
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 2: Yeah. Coming around then in round thirteen, you took Anthony Richardson.

490
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: I knew that pick was coming.

491
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 3: There was a running but one of the young running

492
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: backs was sitting there and I was torn. I'm like,

493
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: the fields gets hurt, I'm in trouble. Plus, this is

494
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: good for the drive on Tuesday.

495
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: So the funny thing is if if you hadn't taken

496
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: him there, I had him ready to go. Way it's

497
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: around thirteen.

498
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: It was too way too late.

499
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I know who my starter. I mean, I

500
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: got Trevor Lawrence is my starter. I'm fine.

501
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: That's why I was a fields like, I'm not gonna

502
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 3: start him, but it's pretty good backup.

503
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 2: And then you know the only other guy would have

504
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 2: considered there was still Nico Collins was still sitting there.

505
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: He went, Cadarius Tony went, I'm like good, yeah, and

506
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 2: then Evan McPherson went to pick right before me, and

507
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: I took Daniel Jones. I'm like, this guy's better. He's

508
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 2: a better fantasy player than some of the starting quarterbacks

509
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: that are out there. The guys have a their starter.

510
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: I think you said Tua, Cousins and Gino are all

511
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 3: starters right now. Yeah, I would take Richardson or Jones

512
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 3: over both all three of those guys. I know you

513
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 3: wouldn't have Richardson privor too, but one and I mean

514
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: two weeks from now, you might sell Jones for something good.

515
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, though both of those guys are going

516
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: to run for seven hundred plus yards. Yes, yes, I

517
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 2: mean geez. Another kicker in around thirteen, Graham Gano. I

518
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: mean the Eagles defense, the Dolphins defense, Like, what are

519
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 2: we doing our early? Uh So? Then in round fourteen,

520
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 2: Jared Goff went to kick off the round.

521
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: Which isn't bad at that point.

522
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Derek Carr went right ahead of my pick. I

523
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: took Greg Dolsic. I was just taking I'm like, okay,

524
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to take a backup tight end here. You

525
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: know he'll never play, and Andrews is the starter. There

526
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: wasn't anything out there like Zay Gettick. I would have

527
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 2: thought about Jay Jones there, but he was, you know,

528
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: and you took Rashawn Johnson. No, Rashawn Johnson went to

529
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 2: pick before you. Yeah, he took Ty Chandler. I was

530
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 2: just like, I'm gonna I'm going to draft a backup

531
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: tight end. I've already cut him.

532
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. He did move on and picked up Mac

533
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: mac okay, uh, Moss Moss.

534
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Zach, Yeah, I picked up Zach Moss. I'm like,

535
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: I'm not going to play my backup tight end. Andrews

536
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 2: isn't off until week thirteen. There's a lot that's gonna

537
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 2: happen here. I'm not going to carry Greg Dolcicch all year.

538
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and give me back, Yeah, give

539
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: me a back.

540
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 3: It's I want Ty Chandler, I want Roshawan Johnson. I

541
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 3: want those guys that are young, young legs.

542
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: And then Deon Jackson went to end off that he

543
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: took Ty Chandler Round sixteen let off by Chris Boswell.

544
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: Seventeen Round Draft sixteen sixty.

545
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: You then took the Jets defense, which was curious, Like

546
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: I'm looking at matchups at that point. In those first

547
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, the Jets defenses, they played a Bills

548
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: in Week one.

549
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 3: I didn't love it.

550
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: I took Jake Elliott with my pick in again, Jake

551
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: Elliot's a good NFL factory in a great offense.

552
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 3: Is not that much different than Justin Tucker.

553
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: For fans, Harrison Butcher like the offense are going to score?

554
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Then I came back and took

555
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: People are going to laugh about this, but I took

556
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 2: the Washington Commander's defense in round sixteen.

557
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 3: That was who was torn between because who they play.

558
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 2: They opened with Arizona and then they played Denver. I

559
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: might keep him the first two weeks.

560
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 3: In my other league, which is deeper, I took the

561
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: Dolphins and Bengals. Week one is not great for those two,

562
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 3: but I kept looking at him, like Week two's good

563
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 3: for this one, Week three is good for this one.

564
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 3: We too, I mean, like, so I should.

565
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 2: Get drive yourself at can but we do it every

566
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: week on here when we do over the schedule.

567
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 3: Here's ten of them.

568
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 2: Here's here's ten streaming defenses.

569
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 3: And whoever plays the Cardinals is gonna be on that

570
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 3: list every.

571
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: Every week, every and there's there's a bunch of offenses

572
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 2: like that. To ye, whoever plays the Rams, whoever plays

573
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 2: you know, pick a team, there's enough of them that

574
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: are going to be out there this year that you'll

575
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 2: be able to stream defenses all season long.

576
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.

577
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 2: You then took Cameron Dicker, the kicker.

578
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the Chargers kicker is not bad Chargers kicker

579
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: and right score points. Fine. Uh, he could get cut tomorrow,

580
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 3: who knows, but I mean yeah.

581
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: The last pick of the draft was mare of a

582
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: Mims junior.

583
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 3: I thought I would have liked to have him.

584
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: He crossed my mind a couple times but again, I

585
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: already had Judy, so I couldn't have two Denver receivers.

586
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 3: Like yeah, I mean my last two rounds, I had

587
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 3: to take defense kicker, but Mims would have definitely been Yeah,

588
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 3: I prefer to have him.

589
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 2: But that was our draft in the o r FBL.

590
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 2: That's the Observer Reporter Fantasy Football League. Been in that

591
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 2: one since over thirty plus years now, so a lot

592
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: of those guys have been in that league the whole time.

593
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: We got some new blood in there, including my son,

594
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: who took Austin Eckler second and left a fresh McCaffrey.

595
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: But anyways, thank.

596
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:21,880

598
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 3: By the way, stumbling point, I wouldn't trade my squad

599
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: for years though.

600
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah you had.

601
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 3: I mean, McCaffrey was a gift.

602
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 2: McCaffrey was a gift. So anyway, we're gonna take a

603
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 2: break out. That was the Fantasy football focus here on

Speaker 2: Welcome back, and I am b Matt Williamson, the the Mattley.

610
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: There's a lot of them out there there are.

611
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: That's a pretty common name. Anyways, we're back here on

612
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 2: the drive and I want to take a look here.

613
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: Mike Clay put out a thing over the weekend for ESPNU.

614
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: He has all the teams graded out by position.

615
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 3: He does a good job with that.

616
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we I know we went over this in

617
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: the preseason. We were in the before training camp, so

618
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 2: I thought we've changed though. Circle back around on Yeah,

619
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: so offensive grading by unit. He has the Eagles number one.

620
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that. Very little turnover on that side

621
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 3: of the.

622
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Chargers at number two pretty good.

623
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 3: I mean, especially if you get like Slater back and

624
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: the line firms up a little bit.

625
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: He is as the number nine offensive line in the league.

626
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 2: M I mean, they got a couple of guys.

627
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 3: That played a lot better down the stretch. I think

628
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 3: Slater was a huge loss for them. I don't know

629
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: a problem with nine.

630
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 2: Still get a problem right tackle?

631
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 3: Still, Yeah, it's great.

632
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 2: He has the Chiefs at number three.

633
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: Roster or offense.

634
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: Offense twenty second running back, twenty sixth at wide receiver.

635
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, say, there's two positions that hurt them.

636
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: Bat just killed them.

637
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 3: I mean the other ones are probably one or two.

638
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: The Bengals are fourth.

639
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 3: Not a discernible weakness there.

640
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: Let me see if you agree with this one. He

641
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 2: is the Ravens is the fifth best offense in the league.

642
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 3: I'm gonna circle back to the Bengals real quick. Okay,

643
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 3: we had Casey Joyner on our podcast today and he

644
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 3: does this metric about good blocking for running backs and

645
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: what do you do when that's blocked? Right? Mixing was

646
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: like the worst back in the league. I mean, he

647
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 3: had great blocking and did nothing with it. I mean

648
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 3: I think he's pretty close to Dunn. Yeah, Ravens fifth,

649
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: did you say, though? Yeah, probably not. But I don't

650
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 3: see any.

651
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 2: Behind the Bengals offense, Like I don't see those two

652
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 2: offenses being in the same neighborhood.

653
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 3: I don't either, But I don't see a position of

654
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: weakness for the Ravens, Like, I bet none of them

655
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: are in the twenties.

656
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 2: He has them in the twenties. At running back, they're

657
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: twenty fifthe run back.

658
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 3: Okay, here's the thing, Okay, so it is.

659
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 2: I'm at six at quarterback, twenty fifth at running back,

660
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: sixteenth at wide receiver. That might be a little rich

661
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: for me, might be a little rich. Now you're a

662
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: tight second at tight end, Okay, sure, sixth on the

663
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 2: offensive line. Are the Ravens really the sixth best offensive line.

664
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: In the league? No, but I'd probably have them tenth.

665
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have the I think the receivers are more

666
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: like twenty to be determined. Yeah, and I think the

667
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: offensive line is more like tenth. I think the running

668
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: backs actually might be a little bit better than twenty fifth.

669
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 3: I might have them twentieth though, or eighteenth, but yeah,

670
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 3: I don't you know. See together too.

671
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: At six are the Cowboys.

672
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: It's a pretty good group. I might be higher on

673
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 3: them than six.

674
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: He is a quarterback, tenth running back, seventeenth, wide receiver,

675
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: fifth tight end, twenty third offensive line fifth.

676
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, the line better be pretty high.

677
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 2: I think it should be higher than that.

678
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: Tight end would be low of course. Yeah.

679
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: He is the Browns at seven. So you got the

680
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: You got three AFC North teams in your top seven

681
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: in terms of offenses, sort.

682
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 3: Of get it.

683
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: For the Browns. He has the quarterback is ninth.

684
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: I and this is a different exercise of putting on

685
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 3: paper in a spreadsheet one two, three, four dollars thirty

686
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: two is different than how at all, Joe.

687
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 2: If Deshaun Watson is the ninth best quarterback in the

688
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: league this.

689
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: Year, I would take it. As as a Browns fan.

690
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: I might, but not for what you're paying.

691
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 3: It's still not worth the investment now. But door number

692
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 3: two could be a lot worse. He has been.

693
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 2: Eighth at running back, I have him too. I understand

694
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 2: Chubb is Chubb is Chubb. I think he's the best

695
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: pure runner in the league.

696
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: I agree.

697
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if they have anything behind it.

698
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: But the running back room is not correct.

699
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: Eighteenth at wide receiver. You taking the Ravens wide receivers

700
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 2: over the Browns.

701
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 3: No, and I'm not even a huge Cooper fan. But

702
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: I'm a big Elijah More fan.

703
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's apples and oranges to me. They at

704
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: least have guys that have played.

705
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Cooper versus O'Dell. I know what Cooper is. Yeah,

706
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: so I mentioned I started digging into the Browns a

707
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 3: little bit. Cooper had a much better year than I realized.

708
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was pretty good.

709
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: He was really good. But his home road splits are awful, awful, awful.

710
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: He hates it on the road and he hates the cold.

711
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 3: You know, it's weird.

712
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: Uh. He has them with the thirteenth, thirteenth at tight end,

713
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: second in offensive line. I don't think they're I don't

714
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: think their line is number two anymore.

715
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 3: I don't either, But it would be five ish, I think.

716
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's definitely in the top ten, probably

717
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: in that that five range. But I don't think it's

718
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: it's that good, and I think so. I think they

719
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 2: might be a little high at quarterback, a little low

720
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: at running.

721
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 3: Back, maybe a little low receiver. Well compared to the

722
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 3: raven Compared.

723
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,719
Speaker 2: To the Ravens they are, I don't know if they're eight,

724
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: you know, and then second offensive line, but I don't.

725
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: I don't see them as a top seven offense.

726
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 3: I don't either. I don't either.

727
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: Let's see who he's so eight is the Vikings. The

728
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 2: Vikings have a better offense than Ravens.

729
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't even care really who the running backs are.

730
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 3: Interior line isn't great, but the rest is pretty great.

731
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're twelfth at quarterback, thirtieth at running back, eighth

732
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: at wide receiver, fourth at tight end, seventh on the

733
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: offensive line.

734
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that's pretty good. Respect for their O line.

735
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. At nine are the Bills.

736
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 3: Their O line worries me a little bit.

737
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they come in. Let's see where he has their

738
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: offensive line ranked? Twenty second?

739
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 3: Okay, that's their weak point.

740
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

741
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: I mean, remember Gabe Davis is healthy now, so their

742
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 3: receivers are okay above average, So I would say.

743
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: He has the receivers ranked twenty first. They've got stef

744
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: on this.

745
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: I mean Diggs's fifth or sixth by hisself.

746
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is like one of It's almost the chob

747
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: argument that guy should raise like.

748
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 3: He should raise the ship.

749
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially a wide receiver.

750
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 3: Especially a wide receiver. Yeah. I would have their wide

751
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 3: receivers higher, Diggs.

752
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: A star at tenth or the Dolphins.

753
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean I bet running backs aren't great.

754
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: Twenty eighth wide receiver.

755
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 3: Third of wide receiver. Fine, but again, I just think

756
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 3: the offense is fragile.

757
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty second at tight end, twentieth on the offensive line.

758
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 3: That's fine. Where were they at tight end thirty two?

759
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 2: Thirty two? Yeah, they don't have one.

760
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 3: They don't use it.

761
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Jets are then eleventh.

762
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 3: Who line would be low all of a sudden depth

763
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: besides running back isn't great there.

764
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Jaguars at twelve, No, I might be even

765
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 2: higher on I would take the Jaguars offense over Cleveland's.

766
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: I would too, I would take it over Baltimore's.

767
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean ingram Aten.

768
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: There's weapons all over.

769
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 3: They got a lot of dudes that aren't even the

770
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 3: future guy.

771
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: This is the one that really got me. And thirteen

772
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 2: are the Broncos.

773
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: Ouch.

774
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: No, they scored like fourteen points a game last year.

775
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 3: I don't know where they're above average.

776
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: So you've got him at fourteen at quarterback, which is

777
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: too high.

778
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: And it's a little rich, but he deserves a little

779
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: bit of beteter of that.

780
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: Twenty four at running back, fifteen at wide receiver.

781
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 3: No, Patrick's hurt. Hamlin retired, I mean like Hamler retired. Yeah,

782
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 3: or hung it up for a little bit.

783
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 2: Twenty second at tight end. Tenth on the offensive line,

784
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 2: they do not have the tenth best offensive line in

785
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: the league.

786
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 3: They spent a lot McGlinchey in the guard, but I

787
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: think that takes it from bad to average.

788
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody's still on the left tackle as being well.

789
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: He's because he didn't have a bunch of holding penalties

790
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago when holding was legal legal. Yeah,

791
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: he stinks. Fourteenth is the Bears offense. Offense just all

792
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: it was just talking offense here. He has the quarterback

793
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 2: at sixteen, running back at twenty seven, thirteenth, at wide

794
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: receiver thirteenth. No, that is where the Bills. The Bills

795
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: were twenty first at wide receiver.

796
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 3: Diggs is noticeably better than Dj Moore.

797
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, yeah, sixteenth at tight end, thirteenth

798
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: in their offensive line.

799
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 3: That's so generous for the O line, I think so.

800
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: I mean it looks a lot better, but it's young.

801
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 3: I mean you have a first year tackle on a

802
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: second year tackle.

803
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 2: The Seahawks are fifteenth. I'd be higher on the Seahawks.

804
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: Their backs and receivers are strong. The Lions are sixteenth.

805
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: Receiver has to I don't know where you rank the receivers.

806
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 3: They got one, dude, they're twenty third. If Williams is

807
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 3: in the mix, then it's different. Yeah, And I mean

808
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 3: I don't know how you wait.

809
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: They put the Bears at thirteen and the Lions at

810
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 2: twenty three, though mon Ross Saint Brown not.

811
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 3: To mention is equal to DJ Moore. Like if you

812
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 3: look at DVOA or EPA or whatever, the Lions were

813
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 3: a top five offense and the Bears are a bottom

814
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: five offense.

815
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: I mean again, their offensive line comes in at three.

816
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: I think it's better than Cleveland's.

817
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 3: I think it's clearly two.

818
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 2: Behind the eyes at seventeen, the Raiders.

819
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 3: The offense, I guess yeah.

820
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 2: At eighteen, the Saints solid.

821
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 3: They got a bunch of backs. They got a bunch

822
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 3: of pass catchers.

823
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: At nineteen or the Giants.

824
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 3: Okay, but I see some holes, maybe a quarterback.

825
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: Finally, at twenty we get to the Steelers.

826
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 3: That's bad. That's pretty bore to the numbers. I mean,

827
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: I could see Pickett not being super twenty third a

828
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 3: quarter back, that's fine.

829
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 2: Fifteenth at running back, fine, fourteenth at wide receiver.

830
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 3: I thought that would be lower considering whether they came in.

831
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 3: They must be low on the line.

832
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 2: Eighth at tight end. Okay, I think the tight end,

833
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 2: if you look at the entire position, I'd probably show

834
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 2: to six like he is the Giants. Fifth at tight

835
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 2: end based solely on Darren Waller.

836
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 3: Sure like I'm taking Waller ahead of friar Mouth in fantasy,

837
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't trade rooms with them.

838
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 2: No, no, And then sixteenth on the offensive line.

839
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 3: I'm not sure why that equates so low. None of

840
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 3: those are rabbit terribly bad.

841
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 2: I think quarterback gets waited a little.

842
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure it does, but okay, at least if you

843
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 3: recognize that the quarterbacks probably could end up higher than that.

844
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 2: Sixteenth on the offensive line seems low too. Saw how

845
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: they finished last year.

846
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially compared to how they ranked the rest of

847
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 3: the line. You get the Bears ranked thirteenth, I would

848
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 3: offense aligned with them. The Broncos are tenth No, no, right,

849
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 3: no right.

850
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: Anyway. So the forty nine ers then come in twenty first.

851
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

852
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 3: He must be rough on.

853
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 2: Party twenty party twenty fourth.

854
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 3: He's only one spot behind Kenny. But yeah, fair enough.

855
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 3: Their skill guys are great.

856
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 2: Though, number one at wide receiver, tenth and one, I'm sorry,

857
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 2: number one at running back, tenth at wide receiver, third

858
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 2: at quarterback, twenty fourth.

859
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 3: On the offensive line, yeah, I figured the A line

860
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 3: had to be tough. There may might be for long

861
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: day someday that right side of the line.

862
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: Then you have the Rams at twenty two, the Cardinals

863
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 2: at twenty three. I don't know how the Cardinals come

864
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 2: in then high.

865
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 3: Their quarterback has to be thirty two. Neuro line can't

866
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 3: be much different.

867
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 2: The Cardinals are twenty two quarterback.

868
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 3: Twenty two, twenty two. He must count Kyler somehow.

869
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 2: Somehow, But I don't know how how you wait that

870
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 2: in twenty sixth at running back, twenty second at wide receiver,

871
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: seventh at tight end ahead of Firemooth.

872
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, Ertz and McBride are a nice old

873
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 3: young tandem, but I don't know that trust either.

874
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: I'll I'll take Firemouth and Darnell Washington and Hayward over that.

875
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 2: You a heartbeat, even without Hayward, I would. Yeah. The

876
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: Patriots come in twenty fourth.

877
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,240
Speaker 3: Ooh, there's still guys are awful.

878
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 2: They're eleventh on the offensive line. A team that is

879
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 2: eleventh on the offensive line is not shuffling offensive lineman

880
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: left and right right before the season.

881
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: No, they're they having a desperate time right now in

882
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 3: the line.

883
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Titans at twenty five, where's their line? Thirty second? Okay,

884
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 2: where's the quarterback, twenty first. I had a picket.

885
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: I guess I can get it, but I bet it

886
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 3: doesn't end up that way.

887
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Thirty first at tight end, nineteenth at wide receiver,

888
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 2: fourth at running back.

889
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

890
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: The Falcons come in at twenty six. They're thirty second

891
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 2: at the quarterback, thirty second second at running back.

892
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that. Have their O line above the

893
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 3: Browns too.

894
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 2: Thirty second though at wide receiver, sixth is a good player,

895
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 2: six at tight end, and eighth in the offensive line.

896
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 3: Okay, I think that's rough on their wideouts, but they

897
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 3: only have one guy.

898
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: The Texans are at twenty seven, the Packers at twenty eight,

899
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: the Colts at twenty nine, the Panthers at thirty, the

900
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: Commanders at thirty one, the Buccaneers at thirty two.

901
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 3: I'd be a little rough on the box. I mean,

902
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: they're not great, but are they the worst.

903
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 2: Thirty first at quarterback, thirty first at running back, eleventh

904
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: at wide receiver, twenty eighth at tight end, twenty ninth

905
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 2: on the offensive line.

906
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 3: I guess I'm staying correctly. They're them in their bottom

907
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 3: in all those areas, but receiver.

908
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 2: Switching over to the defensive side, of things. Okay, Number

909
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 2: one is the Dolphins.

910
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 3: How do they categorize it? They go like d.

911
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: Line, defensive interior, edge, linebacker, cornerback, safety.

912
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 3: Okay, so there's five spots.

913
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dolphins number one, Bill's number two, Brown's number three.

914
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 3: Ooh, linebacker, corner safety. I don't think is particularly strong

915
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 3: for them.

916
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: Fifteenth on the defensive interior.

917
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 3: I'd be still lower. They were thirty second last year.

918
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 2: Fourth at the edge, fine, eighteenth at linebacker.

919
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,479
Speaker 3: Linebackers are going to be a lot of bad ones

920
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: out there.

921
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 2: Fourth at cornerback, which I think is pretty rich.

922
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 3: It is. I like their three dudes, but none are slots.

923
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 2: And fifteenth at safety.

924
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 3: I would say they're middle of the pack at best.

925
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 3: They're kind of improving there.

926
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they haven't really done anything.

927
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a little rich.

928
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: Right after that are the Steelers. Eighth at defensive interior, Yes,

929
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 2: first at edge. First, okay, twenty first at linebacker.

930
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: I think Dallas is the only one i'd even say

931
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 3: is close at it.

932
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 2: Is the same, yeah, right, yeah, twenty first at linebacker,

933
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 2: eighteenth at cornerback, tenth at safety.

934
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 3: I'm sure he looks at the second third safety as

935
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 3: question marks.

936
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 2: But they're both NFL guys. Yeah, yeah, Maker should carry

937
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: more weight than being the more I.

938
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: Think about it, he's clearly the best safety in the league. Yeah, frankly,

939
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 3: he's on the Hall of Fame like he is.

940
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 2: The Bills is the number one safety team that they

941
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 2: are anymore, not for last year.

942
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 3: They're old and one of the two missed the whole season.

943
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah. Anyways, the Cowboys are right after the Steelers.

944
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 3: I could see that they should be very high.

945
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: Twenty seventh in defensive interior just kills them.

946
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 3: At least they have a first round pick there, but.

947
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 2: He got them third at the edge, get the Chargers

948
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 2: number two.

949
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,359
Speaker 3: That's still a little more respect for Mac than maybe

950
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 3: I should give them.

951
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, three at cornerback for the Cowboys.

952
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 3: You know Moarn Digs Okay, Digs, yeah, Digs.

953
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Cowboys fifth the forty nine or six?

954
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 3: Where are the forty nine ers ranks?

955
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: And so the second and defensive interior.

956
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 3: Hardra is pretty strong, and I assume he calls Armstead

957
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 3: an interior seventeen on the edge, it's Bosta in question mark.

958
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't have that much there. Linebacker number one,

959
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 2: I might not still have them higher though, I mean

960
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 2: twenty fifth at cornerback.

961
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 3: Linebacker was one, Yeah, cornerback is a vulnerability.

962
00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: And then twelfth at safety.

963
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 3: I don't fight any of those. I'd be higher on edge.

964
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 3: I mean, you got defense player of the year on there.

965
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: Right now, you don't.

966
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 3: I assume he's counting them though.

967
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 2: The Jets are seventh, the pack or the Saints eight,

968
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 2: the Packers nine, the Chargers ten, the Bengals eleven, seventh

969
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: at defensive interior, thirteenth on the edge.

970
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 3: I bet they have no big weaknesses.

971
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: Eleventh, eleventh at linebacker, thirteenth at cornerback, thirtieth at safety.

972
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 3: This young question marks right.

973
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 2: The Broncos at twelve, the Commanders at thirteen, the Panthers

974
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 2: at fourteen.

975
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 3: I'm glad he hasn't said the Ravens yet.

976
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 2: The Bucks at fifteen, the Patriots at sixteen.

977
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 3: You expect to see that higher, Yeah, I would think higher.

978
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 2: The Eagles at seventeen.

979
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 3: Patriots might be better some of their parts than these. Are

980
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 3: the linebackers. You know, he just usedes so many people.

981
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,280
Speaker 2: Seventeenth the Eagles.

982
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm sure linebacker and safety is questionable.

983
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: Eighteenth are the Titans nineteenth the Chiefs. Twentieth are the Texans.

984
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 2: We still haven't gotten too the Ravens yet.

985
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 3: I think some people are recognizing their defense is not

986
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 3: great personnel wise.

987
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 2: Twenty first is the Seahawks. Finally we get at twenty

988
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 2: two to the Ravens. Twenty fourth on the defensive interior,

989
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: twenty third on the edge. I don't know who's worse.

990
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: Tenth at linebacker, okay, that should be their strength, twenty

991
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 2: fourth at cornerback, four at safety.

992
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think those are pretty properly right. I might

993
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 3: even be harder on their defensive front, their tackles and edges.

994
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: Then you have the Giants, the Jaguars, the Falcons. He

995
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 2: has the Falcons at nine.

996
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 3: At safety baits is pretty good.

997
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 2: It's not better than Menca say Steelers are like.

998
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 3: Eleven, right they were tenth, I think, okay, I would.

999
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 3: I mean Minca's noticedly better.

1000
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 2: Should carry a lot of weight there. Then you have

1001
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: after the Falcons, the Lions, the Colts, the Vikings, the Bears, Raiders, Cardinals, Rams.

1002
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 3: Those last five are bad. The Yakas bad defenses.

1003
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 2: Really bad defenses. Know, by the way, Rams, Cardinals all

1004
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: on the Steelers schedule as are the Colts who are

1005
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 2: right there the Jaguars at twenty four. I mean again,

1006
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: some bad defenses that the Steelers play.

1007
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 3: The Yeah, rewind to our DVOA segments. Yep. The schedule

1008
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 3: of defenses they play against is not good, very favorable.

1009
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, not good at all. We're over time here for

1010
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 2: a break here. But that was Mike Clay's rankings. I

1011
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 2: thought that was interesting.

1012
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 3: Yeah in perspective.

1013
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lolly. You're

00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

1017

00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I'm Dale Lolly. He is Matt Williamson, the

1020
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and uh well, this is the Drive on

1021
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: Steelers Nation Radio. And Matt is mentioned earlier. Mike Tomlin,

1022
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: holding his initial press conference of the year, talking a

1023
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 2: lot about the upcoming season, said do you feel like

1024
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 2: there are no injuries right now that he feels great?

1025
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 2: Are troublesome?

1026
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 3: But I hope he says the same thing a week

1027
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 3: from now, you know. I mean they've been very fortunate

1028
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 3: with that, they've been very conscientious with that, but they've

1029
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 3: not been gentle on these guys. You know, if you

1030
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 3: sat there in La Trobe, you saw a lot of banging.

1031
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 3: More than most teams played the women. Some of these

1032
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 3: teams put their ones in bubble wrap in the preseason.

1033
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 3: The Steelers certainly didn't. So that's phenomenal. I mean, it's

1034
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 3: a huge key to the success. Unfortunately, it's my least

1035
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 3: favorite thing about football.

1036
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 2: We'll see, you know, when we get to tomorrow. They'll

1037
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: be the first injury report of the season.

1038
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 3: Okay, they have to put those out from San Francis.

1039
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be interesting because George Kittle has a

1040
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 2: missed basically the entire preseason. The only two Steelers that

1041
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 2: are are are would be in question would be Larry Ogunjobi.

1042
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 2: They held him out with that foot all all training camp,

1043
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 2: all throughout there. He played in one preseason stead he

1044
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 2: did not, And then Nate Herbig would be Yeah, he

1045
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 2: was a he has a shoulder. He did practice on Monday.

1046
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 3: Do you have a clue if he's in act of

1047
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 3: Week one and Cole were to go down, you know

1048
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 3: what the plan might be.

1049
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 2: I would assume Spencer Anderson steps. I don't think Herbig

1050
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 2: should be fine.

1051
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 3: Do you think he's active.

1052
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 2: I think he'll be active, and that's the biggest So

1053
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 2: I read Bob Labriola's He's asked and answered every week,

1054
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: every every time it comes out. I think he's been

1055
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 2: asked about a dozen times who's the backup center?

1056
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 3: And the answer is like five names.

1057
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 2: The answer is Herbig and ideally he's he's your backup center.

1058
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 3: I get, how much did we see of that in

1059
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 3: the preseason the preseason seems.

1060
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 2: Like we did see it in the preseason, but we

1061
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 2: saw a training training camp. Yeah, he snapped the ball

1062
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 2: to the quarterback before. In his career. It's not a problem.

1063
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 2: This is what he's done. He's been a swing offensive

1064
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 2: lineman pretty much the entirety of his career. He's been

1065
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 2: forced into action here and there and played he's so

1066
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 2: he started a decent number of games, but that's what

1067
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 2: he is. He's a swing offensive interior offensive lineman.

1068
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 3: We've used this term a lot of the last couple

1069
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 3: of years, but he's the better version of the j Finny.

1070
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 2: And obviously kender Green right, because he can play guard.

1071
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 2: He can you know, he can play on the three

1072
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: established he can play all three interior spots. He has

1073
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: starting experience.

1074
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 3: He's not a young prospect. Yeah, he's on contract two

1075
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 3: or three or whatever. You know, a solid player. So yeah,

1076
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,959
Speaker 3: backup center is the thing everyone's worried about.

1077
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, your roster's in pretty good, Shaw, and

1078
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 2: everybody's worried about the backup.

1079
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 3: So that's what our listeners are losing sleepover his backup center. Well,

1080
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,240
Speaker 3: you guys got it pretty good right now.

1081
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 2: On a team that has well both guards have played center.

1082
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 3: And the swing guy and the seventh round pick was

1083
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 3: the center.

1084
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you could do a lot of different stuff there.

1085
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin was also asked about Kenny Pickett being named

1086
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 2: a captain this year now Najia Harris was not. Najia

1087
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 2: Harris and mitchter Bisky were the offensive captains a year ago.

1088
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 2: Pickett is the only offensive captain this year. T J.

1089
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: Watt and Cam Hayward are the defensive captains as they

1090
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: were last year, and Miles killer Brew is the special

1091
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 2: teams captain.

1092
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 3: How do they figure out who the four are going

1093
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: to be?

1094
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 2: Well, not it's a vote by the team.

1095
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 3: Well that part I know, But why was there too

1096
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 3: last year on offense and one this year?

1097
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: If it's close, As Tomlin explained that, he said, if

1098
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 2: there are two guys that are close, you just name

1099
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 2: them both.

1100
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 3: So there's a chance there more often than not, there'sill

1101
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 3: be one D one special teams one h Yeah.

1102
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 2: If it's pretty unanimous, which is what Tomlin said it was.

1103
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 2: He said, look, this was no slight against anybody else

1104
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 2: typically namely Nag Harris or Mitch Trubisky for that matter.

1105
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 2: He said, this says more but pickets in his off season,

1106
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: the work he's put in and how the team feels

1107
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: about him.

1108
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 3: That's exactly what you want to see. I mean, at

1109
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 3: this time last year, there wasn't a clear cut this

1110
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 3: is our starter for the foreseeable future type guy. Yet

1111
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 3: you know Mitch was starting.

1112
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, Mitch him, Yeah, Mitch had been the starter

1113
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: throughout the offseason, so I could see, you know, a

1114
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 2: bunch of guys voting for him. I could see a

1115
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 2: bunch of guys voting for Naujie Harris as well.

1116
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: Nause is a young leader at that point too. But

1117
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 3: now you got the commander in chief and.

1118
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 2: A bunch of guys. Now you've got your quarterback.

1119
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 3: You got your quarterback. That should be him.

1120
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's it's not one of those situations where

1121
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: you know, somebody put the rookie quarterback in there as well.

1122
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 3: He's our captain, like right right, right, like because that

1123
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 3: makes it look good. Yeah right, all right, Okay, this

1124
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 3: was this was this was a fuck that we should do.

1125
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 3: So we'll do it as you will your eyes. But no, No,

1126
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 3: that's a guy and you see it. I mean you

1127
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 3: see him in the cafeteria. People talk highly of him.

1128
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 3: Everyone I know that knows them raves about him and

1129
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 3: work ethic and all those things.

1130
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 2: He's always he's always surrounded by the offensive line. I

1131
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 2: love that for a quarterback, and the receivers they're always

1132
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 2: with Kenny Pickett around.

1133
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I think he's absolutely the right choice. And

1134
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 3: I mean, splitting between Watt and Hayward, you're splitting hairs there, right.

1135
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like Hayward is the biggest leader

1136
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 3: on the team. Yeah, he's you know, the older statesman

1137
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 3: and killer Brew's our best special team. Yeah, he's the

1138
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:55,959
Speaker 3: number one.

1139
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 2: Leader of that group. He's really I like talk him.

1140
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 2: Actually really we talked about special team stuff, but he's

1141
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 2: he's very thoughtful about it and he really gives you

1142
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 2: some insight.

1143
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I mean there's a lot to learn. Those

1144
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 3: special teams guys. They don't just run around with their

1145
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 3: hair on fire, no thing. No, there's a technique to it,

1146
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 3: and they don't know anything about.

1147
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 2: It really, And as Tomlins said, he's one of the

1148
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 2: best kick blockers in the league. That's a skill set.

1149
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 3: That is a skill set. It absolutely is. There's timing

1150
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 3: to it, there's a pass rush aspect to it. Yeah,

1151
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 3: there absolutely is a skill set.

1152
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 2: He's got multiple ones over his tenure here, so yeah,

1153
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 2: it's not easy to do. If you can get one

1154
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 2: or two this year, that'd be tremendous, huge. I mean,

1155
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 2: they don't beat the Bills two years ago now in

1156
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo without a block kick.

1157
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting. But those are the right guys. Yeah,

1158
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 3: those are the guys we want to see.

1159
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 2: I think so as well. He's also asked about the

1160
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 2: inside linebackers and whether that group is better this year

1161
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 2: than last year's group or you know, if he feels

1162
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,479
Speaker 2: it's if it's better, he says, look, it doesn't matter

1163
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 2: what I think, it's going to be proven out on

1164
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 2: the field.

1165
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 3: I figured that that's what.

1166
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean we can think it's better.

1167
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 3: You know, would have made the moves if they didn't

1168
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 3: thing they're right, they wouldn't have done it.

1169
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 2: They wouldn't have done it because they thought they were downgrading, right, you.

1170
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 3: Know, sitting here with Jack Splaine and if they thought that.

1171
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 2: But they thought that, They've thought this in the past too,

1172
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 2: and it didn't play out that way.

1173
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 3: No, no doubt. Yeah, I wouldn't count the chickens yet,

1174
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 3: so to speak. But it's got to almost Hays nowhere

1175
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 3: to go.

1176
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 2: But it's got to be better than what last I

1177
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 2: mean again last year one sack, like I think they

1178
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 2: had seven combined it was it was under it was

1179
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 2: under ten combined tackles for a loss. Yeah, from your

1180
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 2: three inside linebackers that combined to play I don't know,

1181
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:32,959
Speaker 2: twenty four hundred snaps.

1182
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 3: Let alone takeaways and sacks and yeah, you know, fumbles.

1183
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 2: No interceptions, no force fumbles. Just I mean, this just

1184
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 2: makes some of those plays.

1185
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 3: I mean, we're up against it. So this is a

1186
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 3: topic for later in the week. But I've been thinking

1187
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 3: a little bit about this matchup. I bet it's more

1188
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 3: Alexander than Robbers. Yeah, I was thinking, yeah, maybe we'll

1189
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 3: talk about that tomorrow or whatever. Yeah, just the speed

1190
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 3: and dealing with the middle of the field.

1191
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 2: And dealing a calf rack.

1192
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see that.

1193
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think too that it's also probably a

1194
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 2: KZ week. It's safety because they list those those two

1195
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 2: spots are listed as either or.

1196
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,919
Speaker 3: Okay, and as you mentioned, if especially if you're gonna

1197
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 3: make a in the box robber stuff middle of the field.

1198
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:13,479
Speaker 2: Somebody's gotta be back deep.

1199
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1200
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 2: There may be some other matchups where you want make

1201
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 2: as the deep guy and you put key on O'Neil

1202
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 2: in the in the box, but I don't know if

1203
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 2: this week is that one.

1204
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think I want my playmakers near the line

1205
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 3: of scrimmage.

1206
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too. Again, I want to I

1207
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 2: want to tempt rock prity to try.

1208
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 3: To go deep, hold that ball up a pulse longer,

1209
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 3: go ahead. Yeah. Yeah, if you beat us once or twice,

1210
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,959
Speaker 3: you know, I'm sure they're looking at Porter and saying

1211
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 3: we're gonna try to pick on him.

1212
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 2: How much he plays.

1213
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe Peterson as well. I mean, who knows. I mean,

1214
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 3: and Wallace isn't Rod Woodson either. I mean, so I

1215
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 3: think that's what you want him to do.

1216
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 2: Though, absolutely, But Matt, that's going to do Yeah, that's

1217
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 2: going to do it. For our show today, we got

1218
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 2: one in the books here. We'll be absolutely talk a

1219
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 2: little more Steelers it again. We'll have an injury report tomorrows.

1220
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 2: We'll have a better idea. What we probably won't have though,

1221
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 2: is because San Francisco is on the West coast. I

1222
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 2: hate when Steelers play West Coast teams. We won't have

1223
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: an injury report from them. Probably by this time they will.

1224
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 2: That would be good to have to see what kills

1225
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 2: status is. But anyways, for Matt Williamson, I am Dale Lollie.

1226
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 2: We appreciate you listening to this edition of The Drive

1227
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 2: on Steelers Nation Radio
