1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: At least he's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: And we are back on Dale Lolli he is the

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and kicking off our number two here of

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: the Drive, it is time for a little Fantasy football focus.

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: All right, we will look at yesterday, or I should

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 2: say wednesday, we looked at the quarterback position and tiers.

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at.

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: Running back today using the Pro Football Focus tiers that

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: they put these guys in. And this one's going to

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: be interesting.

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's I really am excited to get your opinion

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 3: on the guy that will get to very soon on

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: this list. An early name.

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: So in Tier one they have the Fantastic four, which

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: kind of tells you how many guys are in tier one.

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, b Jean.

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: Robin, Jamior Gibbs, Saquon Barkley, Ashton Genty.

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: All right, let's start there. Would you take Bijeon or Barkley?

21
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: And I guess I'm putting the car before the horse.

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,919
Speaker 3: Would they be your two contenders for RB.

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: One, Yes, And I think I'd take Bijon.

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: I think I would too. A month ago, I'm like,

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 3: how could Barkley not be number one? But the workload

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: he scares me. There's a lot of history that yeah,

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: I mean because he went deep into the playoffs obviously right,

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: not the youngest guy. Bjeons didn't get the ball a ton.

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 3: I think his roles or receiver is gonna grow? Or

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: are they your top two though? Yes? Okay? Would you

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: rather just be the I'll take the other one guy

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: so you have an earlier second round pick? Or would

33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: you are you're pretty set that you would take Bjeon noticeably?

34
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: I think so, and I would have that that four

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: or Bijon Barkley, Genty, Gibbs.

36
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna be quiet on another guy that I

37
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: would have in that list would get to I'm sure

38
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 3: he's in the next Yeah he is. I actually saw

39
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: this group. So you'd have Genty ahead of Gibbs that

40
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 3: you say, yeah, okay, I get it.

41
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: He's the only game in town. Yeah, Gibbs, but still

42
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: splits carries no matter what.

43
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: You would be two cases just to throw out is

44
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: I know people like having Gibbs two is pretty crazy

45
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: to me, But I have heard some people who are

46
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: big on Gibbs, thinking new offensive coordinator, so maybe the

47
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: roles change a little between him and Montgomery. Really really

48
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: difficult schedule, so they probably aren't going to close teams

49
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: out with Montgomery as much. He's not going away. Though

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: he's not going away. I mean, he's still really good

51
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: and it's still the same.

52
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: He still gets all most of the goal line carries.

53
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: Right, and and my only genti concern, which I doubt

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 3: will hold up at all considering who he's competing with

55
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: and where they drafted him, is just prove to me

56
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: that you can pass block, you know, so you're out

57
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: there on third and eight. He never really do that

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: at Boise State. If it's third eight, he ran around.

59
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: He's the best guy, right, So just proved to me

60
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: you can do that. But I bet two weeks in

61
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: the camp will know.

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: That Tier two there are also four guys Derrick Henry,

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, Bucky Irving, Devin A Chan.

64
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: Okay, McCaffrey's the one I want to talk about. He

65
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: would be in Tier one for me, and I did

66
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: a locked on Dynasty conversation about it, and the two

67
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: dudes I was on with said he's too injury prone.

68
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: I can't do that. My argument is simple. One is

69
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: he's the most productive fantasy running back in the history

70
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: of fantasy football. But you gotta play.

71
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: You gotta play, and having the achilles issue last year

72
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: scares the hell out of me.

73
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 3: I mean, the last three years, he's missed a lot

74
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: of games. I mean the arguments are. That's why I

75
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: wanted to bring him up, because I'm not like staying

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: on the table that I'm I'm taking him ahead of

77
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: all those other Tier two guys though, and maybe I

78
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: guess that depends on PPR or not. Though too, I

79
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: didn't think about the PPR. I think Bucket Irving's pretty good.

80
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 3: I do too. He's in a good offense. Oh yeah,

81
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 3: they want to run the ball. There's not much in

82
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: his way. Yeah, I mean, I have no problem with

83
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: him being in Tier two. This isn't a knock on

84
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: the other guys. I just think McCaffrey is Tier one

85
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: for me because all reports now or is he's fine,

86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: he's right a role.

87
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there were reports last year.

88
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone took him first overall, Yeah and gotten zero

89
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: points out of You know, those people are.

90
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: Will let somebody else have that to take more of

91
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: a short bet.

92
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 3: Knowing that he could hit big. Yeah. Right, But I would.

93
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 2: Rather have the safer play with my first round pick.

94
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: See, I'm thinking, if I'm sitting at like pick nine,

95
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: I can't do it. I mean, I'm not taking him

96
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: at two or three over Jamar Chase or Bijan or

97
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: a guy like that. I'd have a hard time turning

98
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: my back on him at like nine or ten.

99
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: I'll bet I could find somebody else I could take

100
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: and say I'm perfectly fine taking this.

101
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: So you're definitely taking those fantastic four over him, um

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 3: Gibbs gent Yeah, are you taking If it's non PPR,

103
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: you're taking Henry or Irving? Yes, Non PPR is a

104
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: different story.

105
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: Now, I mean DR is a hugely different story.

106
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: Because Henry is the most fluctuating back ever for VPR.

107
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: If it's PPR, I'm still taking Irving over him.

108
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 3: I would not. If it's NON, I'm taking Henry.

109
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: The goal line carries. You think Christian McCaffrey gets this year,

110
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: all of them, I don't think so.

111
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: I mean he's scored like every game he's ever played

112
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: as a Niner. I understand that, and he's always in

113
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: their goal line back.

114
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: That streak has pretty much been broken.

115
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 3: He has a playoff games, but they don't have a hammer.

116
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 3: I mean they traded Mason Bucky Irving is the hammer,

117
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: Sos McCaffrey, and he catches the football. Yeah, but nobody

118
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: does it more than McCaffrey in his career.

119
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: But he's got to play. Oh, he's got to play.

120
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: I mean his argument super each trust him, Yeah, that's

121
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: the thing.

122
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: He's thirty. I don't trust it.

123
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: You trust Henry? Yeah. I think I do too, because

124
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: every year I don't, and every year it burns me. No,

125
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 3: and I'm sick of it. Christian McCaffrey's a cyborg.

126
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey versus Devin a Chan, he's a conversation.

127
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: A Chan can only be ranked here if it's PBR right,

128
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: I mean, if it's.

129
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: Not, he's worthless.

130
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: You know. Like I heard a really good podcast there.

131
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: It was just on the Dolphins and it was very

132
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: analytically speaking, and they're saying, man, a Chan gets all

133
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: the money touches, you know, third down goal line and

134
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there going, but he's terrible at he shouldn't

135
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 3: get the goal one carry. He's the worst at it.

136
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't care who else they're back is.

137
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 3: If he's getting goal line carries this year, that's coaching

138
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: mal practice.

139
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: He looks like a two year old. He just get

140
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: thrown around your arms right right right, and pick them up.

141
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: It's like boxing out my son when he was like

142
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: seven years old in the driveway. Yeah. I mean, he

143
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: can't be the goal line back, So I'm all for

144
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: him as a PPR guy in that neighborhood eight nine RB,

145
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: but it has to be receiving only. I mean, don't

146
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 3: count on him to be the short yard.

147
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: His goal because he also didn't have the breakaway stuff

148
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: that he had no rookie year.

149
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: Which we knew would go down. I think he averaged

150
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: like six point nine yards of carry or something insane,

151
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: you know, right, But his numbers catching the ball when

152
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: tu was out there were very, very high because they

153
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: can't protect right, you know. Tier three, but he would

154
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: definitely be last of the names we mentioned for me.

155
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: I might have some of these guys ahead of them,

156
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: the Tier three guys high end workloads to consider for

157
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: RB one, Josh Jacobs, Kenneth Walker, Karen Williams, Jonathan Taylor.

158
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: That's probably the neighborhood where I'm not drafting a running back.

159
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: I just see a wart on all of them or

160
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: how yeah, yeah.

161
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: But they're gonna get They're gonna get touches.

162
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: Walker to me could be RB two when it's all

163
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: said and done. He started to catch a lot more passes,

164
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: but his durability is starting to really worry me too. Yeah,

165
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 3: Taylor doesn't catch anything. I'm prejudiced against Karen Williams, and

166
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 3: I shouldn't be because I just don't think he's a

167
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 3: great football player. But he produced, He's always productive. And

168
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: who's the number one name on there, Josh Shacobs. He's

169
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: had a lot of wear and tear, but he's in

170
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 3: a good offense and a pan of money.

171
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: Now that's where they should be going then the football.

172
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: But I bet I have a running back already, and

173
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 3: I'm taking a receiver in that neighborhood.

174
00:08:53,840 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: Tier four, This one's bigger. RB two territory. James Cook,

175
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: Chase Brown, Amari and Hampton, Alvin Kamara, Joe Mixon, Breese Hall, R. J. Harvey,

176
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: James Connor, Chewba Hobbard, Quin, Shawn Judkins, DeAndre Swift, and

177
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones.

178
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: I think those first four or five are noticeably better

179
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 3: than the last four or five.

180
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 2: A Marion Hampton at fifteen.

181
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: Though, is its face? Yeah, because I bet the first

182
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: month kind of like our Warren Johnson conversation the first hour.

183
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: I don't know that he's gonna massively outtouch Nausey in

184
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: week one. Yeah, you know, like even I know he's

185
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: not good in protection, right right right, He's gonna have

186
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 3: some there. I know na is nause is. That's a

187
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: great point because reliability is the nause check Martin no

188
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: end and all coaches love that. Harbaugh is gonna love it.

189
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: But he was the first round back Hampton.

190
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: Of course, I can't touch Alvin Kamara either.

191
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 3: He'd have to be PPR. I mean it would have

192
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: to be I mean, that's just a bad offense. So

193
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: they're not gonna score many points. No competition is not much.

194
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: But you hope he gets traded to the Chiefs or

195
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: something somewhere. Yeah, cook and scores many touchdowns as he

196
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: did last year as a million But I have no

197
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 3: problem taking him. He's in a good offense. He's the

198
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: best guy. Who are we just talking about? Hell, Hampton,

199
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: can you check the box in week one to even

200
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: start them. No, yeah, right, like I might. I might

201
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: start Jalen Warren over him in week one. I don't

202
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: know if I can use a pick that high waiting,

203
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: and I think that it's kind of the the two

204
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: guys who were well, there's three guys at the bottom

205
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: of this list, James Connor, CHEWBA Hubbard, and Aaron Jones.

206
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 3: I trust them.

207
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 2: I trust them a lot.

208
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 3: I trust them more than Judkins or Harvey. I was

209
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: about to bring up the rookies. You mentioned Hampton signing JK.

210
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: Dobbins is not good for Harvey at all, not at all.

211
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: Dobbins might only last six weeks. I don't know, but

212
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: I bet he's a buddy you're running back today than

213
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: Harvey is. Yeah, you know, and Harvey's not proven him

214
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: pretty Actually he's bad in protection.

215
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Hue.

216
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: I'm much super psyched about Judkins either at that price,

217
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: not a terrible offense.

218
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:22,119
Speaker 2: Tier five starting running back candidates with tempered expectations Isaiah Pacheco,

219
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: David Montgomery, Brian Robinson, Tony Pollard, Jaylen Warren, Caleb Johnson,

220
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: Ramandre Stevenson, Traveon Henderson, Travis atn Javonte Williams, JK. Dobbins,

221
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: Kim Scatibo, and Tyrone Tracy. There's a lot of double

222
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: ups there.

223
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we mentioned him earlier. The two names they were

224
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: early and they should be early. Paulard and Montgomery. I

225
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: know what I'm getting every year. Yeah, there's a lot

226
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: of consistency with those guys for running back. Yeah. They've

227
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 3: had some injuries, of course, like everybody, but not massive.

228
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: They're still kind of in their prime. They can be

229
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 3: my RB two all day long. Yeah, a lot of

230
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: those names. I don't want his my RB twoth Williams,

231
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 3: you know, Travis Atn're right, I don't even know he's

232
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: gonna be on Jags. You know. I might take Tank

233
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 3: Bigsby over ATN. Yeah. I mean there's a different coaching staff,

234
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 3: but the Jags seem to favor him over ATN last year.

235
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: That's a that's a rough neighborhood there. Yeah.

236
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: That gets you to thirty seven, which.

237
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 3: Means you better take two pretty early or really just

238
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: roll the dice. I wouldn't. If my team is loaded

239
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: and my RB two on opening day was Warren, that's

240
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: not so bad, right, right, And I'm just working the

241
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: waiver wire waiting for someone to get hurt or you know.

242
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: Tier six is backups with a path to snaps. Jordan Mason.

243
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: The fact they traded for him is important to me,

244
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 3: but still Jones.

245
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 2: Is much better, Najee Harris, Zach Sharboney, ty j Spears,

246
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: Baychelle Tuton, Trey Benson, Rashad White, Austin ekelar Isaac Grendo,

247
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: Rico Daldell, Tank Bigsby, Braylon Allen, Rashawn Johnson, Jayden Blue,

248
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: Jalen Wright, Ray Davis, Tyler Algier, Nick Chubb, Marshawn Lloyd,

249
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: Kareem Hunt, Blake Korm.

250
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: I wouldn't hate taking two or three of them, and

251
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: only one needs to hit in Week one to probably

252
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: be bad, but the right any of them, you don't

253
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 3: want to start any of them. My favorite very late

254
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: round pick is Roshawn Johnson. I think he's there. Montgomery.

255
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: I assume they're going to structure the backfield sort of

256
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 3: the same way. He's super reliable, like he was a

257
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 3: special teamer at Texas and every coach loves him, and

258
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: of course he didn't beat out Bijon at Texas. But

259
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: he's big, he's physical, we can catch the ball a

260
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 3: little bit. He'll be on my team a lot in

261
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 3: like round eleven. Yeah, because a lot of those dudes

262
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: I would at least take a shot at. But you

263
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 3: need something to happen.

264
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Eclaroll have a role.

265
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: I think he's underrated too. Yeah, Like I have him

266
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: in a couple of dynasty leagues and he's old and

267
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: nobody will give you anything for him at that age.

268
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: But I'm like, I'm just gonna keep him and play him. Yeah,

269
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: I mean it's a great offense, right, he catches catch

270
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: the ball. I mean I don't think Robinson's goal ever.

271
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: Robinson doesn't catch the ball at all.

272
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: No, I assume Robinson's a goal line back. But Eckler

273
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 3: was like one of the best goal linebacks in the

274
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: last ten years with the Chargers. Yeah, so I got

275
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: no problem with that. Yeah.

276
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: Do we go into the next year.

277
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: Because this is and then throw out the names. I'm sure.

278
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: I mean, there're gonna be in a lot of leagues though.

279
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: We're going eighty deep here. Oh wow, you're looking at

280
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: fifty nine. DJ Giddens, Justice hill, Woody Marks, Raheem Mostert,

281
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: Dylan Samson, Taj Brooks, Antonio Gibson.

282
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: You probably don't need to go.

283
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: Rishard Smith, Kendrey Miller, Ty Johnson. Yeah, we don't need

284
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: to go through all these guys.

285
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: Some of these, like fifth and six rounders are kind

286
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: of interesting. Like I could definitely see the story where

287
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: Giddons is the pure handcuffed to tailor. Okay, you know

288
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: it's a decent offense. I mean a couple of those dudes,

289
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: or the Chiefs backup, or the guy the Rams took,

290
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: or Neil with the Saints, but those are the guys

291
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: I'd be looking at. It is like there's a deep

292
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: running draft back draft. As we all know, Neil probably

293
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 3: goes in the fifth round most years. This year he

294
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 3: went in the seventh. He might just need one injury

295
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 3: to get in there fresh legs Week eight. Those guys

296
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: I'll be picking up. Yeah, it's Nyssock great this year

297
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 3: it's rough. Yeah, there wasn't a lot of values.

298
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: It's just aren't many guys that you can count on

299
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: for two hundred and fifty plus touches, right, they just aren't.

300
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: Do you lean towards running back in round one always?

301
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 3: I always do too, But I mean every year I

302
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: try to take a step back and reevaluate, but there's

303
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: just so few. Yeah, I mean, Chase is great, Jefferson's saved.

304
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: I mean, all these guys are so safe. But I

305
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: kind of like that hero rb idea of give me

306
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: one in round one.

307
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: And this depends on where you're drafting. Yeah, you know,

308
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: if you are at nine, maybe you don't have that.

309
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: You don't have that opportunity.

310
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 3: Well, that's what I was going to say. Next, we

311
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: don't have to fight about McCaffrey. But would you consider

312
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: Henry at nine in a non PPR nobody plays no

313
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: PPR anymore, that's true, that's true, Or Bucky Irving or

314
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: or would you consider them at the turn?

315
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: Bucky Irving? I would for sure because he does catch

316
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: the ball, he.

317
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: Does great offense too, fresh legs. I consider Henry too. Well,

318
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 3: maybe not in PPR. Yeah, they'd like to get one

319
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: real early. Oh yeah, how many would you actually take

320
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: in the top fifteen ish? You know, not many, So

321
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 3: it's it's rough. I could certainly see drafts where first

322
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: two picks or Bijon and Saquon. Yeah, and I know

323
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 3: most people seem to think Jamar Chase is the easy

324
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 3: number one, but I can get received when we do

325
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 3: receivers tomorrow or whatever, there's a million of them.

326
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: They'll be twelve that you'd be happy with is your

327
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 2: wide receiver one, and.

328
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 3: They'll be forty five that you don't mind starting right,

329
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 3: I mean, like George Pickens is going to be the

330
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 3: wide receiver thirty eight in your fantasy Yeah, okay, you

331
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: know right, all those good number twos, you know right absolutely?

332
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 2: That was Pro football focus is running back tears. We're

333
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 2: gonna get to another break that's going to do it

334
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 2: for the fantasy football focus. Matt and I'll be back

335
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: with more here on the Drive right after this.

336
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

337
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: on twenty four to seven Home of the Black and

338
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

339
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: And we are back on Dale Lalli. He is the

340
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and Matt Aaron shots with the ESPN has

341
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: put out I proposal of one final offseason move for

342
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: all thirty two NFL teams.

343
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I looked at it. I'm not going to

344
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: reveal it for the Steelers. I only looked at the Steelers.

345
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: But there's a couple you could think about for the Steelers. Yeah,

346
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: and all these teams still have some housekeeping to do.

347
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 3: There's no way that all these you know that any

348
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 3: of the teams are like this is fine, We're just

349
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 3: gonna roll with this. They're all gonna be kicking the

350
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 3: tires and having conversations. What you do? Yeah, yeah, A

351
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: lot of these are extensions I bet though, too, which

352
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 3: are kind of boring.

353
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: You know, they have it broken down by broken down

354
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 2: my division. We'll do the AFC North last. So in

355
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: the a FC East for the Buffalo Bills is a

356
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: castending guard, left guard David Edwards.

357
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 3: Pretty boring, not real exciting. I think they have two

358
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: linemen that are due to hit free agency. Okay, you

359
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 3: know their line's starting to come around. It's not the best,

360
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: but it's big and physical. Keep it rolling.

361
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: For the Dolphins, it's sign wide receiver Keenan Allen.

362
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they don't have any money.

363
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have no money. Yeah, that's you know. A

364
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, there was a piece out there.

365
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 2: I guess Keenan Allen said somewhere that he's not interested

366
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: in joining the Steelers.

367
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: Okay, who's calling him? Yeah, Like that's the thing. I mean,

368
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 3: he looked he's never been fast I mean, I think

369
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 3: he ran like a four to seven Roaday or whatever.

370
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 3: But he looks like he runs a four to seven Now,

371
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: I mean that this past year of Chicago.

372
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: He's not kind.

373
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 3: No, it's not kind. I bet he has some old

374
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 3: man game out of the slot, but he's not what

375
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: he used to be. No, he doesn't interest me because

376
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: he's a slot only two. Yeah, that's it.

377
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: That's the thing, right, you don't need another pure slot.

378
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 3: And plus, if you're Miami, your top three pass cat

379
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: actually your top four pass catchers with the chan John

380
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: U and the two stud receivers, I'd better throw all

381
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 3: those guys at Ball and Keyton Allen right right.

382
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: For the Patriots, extend cornerback Marcus Jones.

383
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: He's a good player, slot, tough guy, big time returner.

384
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: They have the money. Sure.

385
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 2: For the Jets, there's actually two moves here. Extend cornerback

386
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: Sauce Gardner and whid receiver Garrett Wilson.

387
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: That makes sense. They're both first round picks the same season,

388
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: same contractual situation. I don't know what their caps like,

389
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 3: but that's that's a pricey combo there. It's not your

390
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 3: money thrown around. The Aaron shots.

391
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, right in the FC South. For the Texans signed

392
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 2: cornerback Rizulla Douglas.

393
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, their secondary is fine. That's what I'm.

394
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: Talking about, though, when you start talking about cornerback.

395
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 3: Availability from the first hour conversation, Yeah, I mean he exists,

396
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 3: and he's gonna be on a team this year and

397
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 3: make a couple of million. And he's not terrible, right, Yeah,

398
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 3: I mean, wouldn't break my heart. The Steelers Douglas, I

399
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: mean he's okay.

400
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: For the Colts sign safety Justin Simmons.

401
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 3: This guy is always available this time of years.

402
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Been really.

403
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 3: They spend a lot of money in their secondary already though. Yeah.

404
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: They add a cameraon Byron, Yeah, in a corner.

405
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if that Yeah, I don't know, but

406
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: if that's a great and an obvious move for them.

407
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: For the Jaguars sign ed rusher ja Davian Clowney.

408
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 3: He's another guy. There's always ed rushers out there too. Yeah,

409
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 3: there's not premium ones, but there's a lot of mercenaries

410
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: like him. And who's the dude it was got traded

411
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: judea On and those type of guys Smith, Yeah, that's

412
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: the name. Was the tip of my tongue. Well, who

413
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 3: was that? For the Jags, Yeah, they have a good pair,

414
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 3: but I guess depth isn't great.

415
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: For the Titans, signed linebacker Kaisier White.

416
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 3: Their linebacker spot's bad. But some of these names out

417
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: there are all going to be NFL players. Yeah, you know.

418
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: Moving on to the AFC West. For Denver, extend defensive

419
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 2: lineman Zach Allen.

420
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 3: I like that one. I would not let him hit

421
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 3: the market. He's been really really good for them.

422
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 2: For the Chiefs, extend right guard Tray Smith.

423
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: He's working the franchise tag. Yeah, I bet that's in

424
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: the works. I mean, if you trade Tuney, you can't

425
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 3: lose Smith's.

426
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: There's also a deadline on that one.

427
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, ok, until like July fifteenth, but I'm sure

428
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 3: they're not going to lose both guards back to back year. Right.

429
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: For the Raiders, extend left tackle Colton Miller.

430
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 3: Okay, he's been one of their few bright spots in

431
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 3: ther line for the last ten years. Yeah he's fine.

432
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. Yeah.

433
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: For the Chargers, extend left tackle over Shawn Slater.

434
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's up and he would make a fortune. I mean,

435
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: if Dan Moore's making twenty, Slater's gonna make a ton

436
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 3: more than that, do it as soon as possible.

437
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: Moving over to the NFC. For the Cowboys, extend to

438
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: edge rusher Micah Parsons.

439
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 3: They're always the last team to do these things, which

440
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 3: makes them the most expensive team to do these Yeah,

441
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 3: you know, okay, I mean, how could you possibly let

442
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 3: him walk?

443
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 2: For the Giants, trade edge rusher Cavon Thibodeau.

444
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 3: I mean, you're probably not gonna win anything with them

445
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 3: this year. They did pick up his fifty year option. Obviously,

446
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 3: the logic is you have Burns and Carter, But I'm

447
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: not giving him away for a fifth No, you know,

448
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 3: I mean giving them away. Yeah, I mean, you better

449
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: give me something decent for him.

450
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 2: For the Eagles, sign wide receiver Tyler Boyd.

451
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 3: Huh, I don't knowize he was out there. He doesn't

452
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: move the needle for me. For Steeler fans, by the way,

453
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 3: another slot player, Yeah, and he did even last year

454
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: when he was a year younger in Sprier. He didn't

455
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 3: move the needle for me.

456
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. He had thirty nine catches for three hundred and

457
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: ninety yards last year.

458
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just a guy.

459
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 2: For the Commanders extend wide receiver Terry McLaurin.

460
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 3: Which I'll be shocked if that doesn't happen. I mean

461
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 3: that's the big news.

462
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: And he costly though thirty plus.

463
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: I think he gets more than metcalf I would such

464
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 3: a pretty good neighborhood, but probably a little more. Yeah,

465
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 3: more something like that coming off a huge year. I

466
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 3: mean you're gonna let Jaden Daniels not have him?

467
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: No, for Chicago sign linebacker Jalen Reeves Mabon, that's reaching.

468
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he wouldn't even start for him, right,

469
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 3: they have Edwards and Edmunds okay, backup linebacker.

470
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: For the Lions. Bring back ed rusher Zadarius Smith.

471
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that. We talked about the defensive line

472
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: ranks yesterday. They were really high, which they should be.

473
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: But that's the opposite Hay Hutchinson spot isn't great. Yeah.

474
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: For Green Bay extend right tackle Zach.

475
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 3: Tom he's another tackle about the hit free agency that's

476
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 3: gonna make more than more. So.

477
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: Yes, for the Vikings, sign edge rusher Matthew Judon.

478
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 3: Okay, he's a versatile Flores type piece. They've obviously invested

479
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 3: in the D line with veterans. They're trying to win it.

480
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: Now on a rookie quarterback contract that wouldn't object.

481
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 2: For the Falcons's trade tight end Kyle Pitts.

482
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 3: It's a tough one. They're not super deep with pass

483
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: catchers other than London Mooney's a good player. I assume

484
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 3: that they don't. They're not going to extend him. I mean,

485
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 3: he's up after this year. I assume that they won't

486
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 3: give him money, So get what you can out of him.

487
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 3: But you might be better off just seeing if he

488
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: can get eight to nine hundred yards this year. You know,

489
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 3: I don't know what to think about Pitts.

490
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: I don't know either, Like when he was better off

491
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: just saying, you know what, he's a wide receiver.

492
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 3: I think that's part of his problem is I love

493
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 3: them coming out of school. The reason he's picked in

494
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 3: the top five ahead of Jamar Chase, by the way,

495
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: which looks crazy today but at the time didn't seem

496
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 3: so insane, was corners can't cover him because he's too

497
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: big and he can run past them, and no linebacker

498
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 3: or safety can run with a guy. Well, I think

499
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: corners can cover him, you know. Like it's kind of

500
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 3: like everyone wants to be in eleven and a half personnel,

501
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: you know, like the Kelsey's of the world. Where what

502
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: do we count him as? You know, do we play

503
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: Nickel against this or bass? You know, Gronk was that way,

504
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: you know, like we played Bass, he's gonna run past us.

505
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 3: We play Nickel, he's gonna mash us. Goronk's a wrong

506
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 3: example because Pitt's him. Gronk are anything like. But Pitt's

507
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 3: never created that matchup for them. You know, it was

508
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: never like if you put mink on him, just shut

509
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: him down, you know what I mean, Like there's players

510
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: that can cover him.

511
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: Now, he did have a thousand yard season as a rookie. Yeah,

512
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 2: with Arthur Smith as his offensive coordinator.

513
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 3: I'm still intrigued with him. I'm not saying he's a bust.

514
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 3: I mean, he's had a hard time staying on the field.

515
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 3: He's played through some injuries that when you watch his tapes,

516
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 3: like he's struggling.

517
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: With with some bad quarterbacks too.

518
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 3: He played some awful quarterbacks too, like heck of the

519
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 3: Steelers gave them a fifth round pick for I'd be like,

520
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 3: I get it, you know, I mean, he can do

521
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 3: rare things, but he might just be a bust. But

522
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 3: the other thing like Evan Ingram was that way. Yeah.

523
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: Then he gets to Jacksonville when he's about twenty six

524
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: ish and he's a force. Yeah.

525
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes it takes those tight ends for a while.

526
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

527
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: For Carolina sign cornerback Kendall Fuller, there's another.

528
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 3: There's another, you know, ye a decent player, right, they

529
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 3: could use them. Any defensive addition wouldn't hurt.

530
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 2: For the Saints signed cornerbacks to find Gilmore once again?

531
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, another cornerback. I don't understand that move for

532
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: the Saints at all. No, not at all. I mean

533
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: if it was the Chiefs, the Bills, the Raven the

534
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 3: sign Gilmore, Okay, you know, I mean the worst team

535
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 3: in the league signed Stephan Gilmore, Like, what were we

536
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 3: doing here? I don't know why Gilmore would want to

537
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 3: sign that too, unless it's the only team calling right,

538
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: good team signing Gilmore? Sure.

539
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: For Tampa Bay extend right tackle Luke.

540
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: Gek Yeah, I mean, not to get too nerdy, but

541
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 3: Worf's going from right to left saved Gekkei's career because

542
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: he's a right tackle only and he's settled in and

543
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 3: he's been a really good player. He gets some help

544
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 3: because Worf's on the other side, but when Wurf's was

545
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 3: at right tackle, he was kind of useless.

546
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good line for the Cardinals sign wide

547
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 2: receiver Amari Cooper.

548
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 3: Sure. I mean they were really hard on Harrison, who, frankly,

549
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: I don't think as good as player as I thought

550
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 3: he was coming out. Not that he's terrible, but he

551
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 3: had he did do all the hard stuff. It was

552
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 3: all him getting banged at the line of scrimmage, not

553
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: any motion, no layup routes. If Cooper could take some

554
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 3: of that off his plate, you might be in decent shape. Yeah,

555
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: you know, but Michael Wilson's not terrible. You know, they

556
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 3: got Bride, you know, I kind of like Greg Dorsh Yeah, yeah, yeah.

557
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: The Rams extend safety Quinton Lake Carnell's son, Carnell Son.

558
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 3: I know they're happy with him. I don't know a

559
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 3: ton about him. Yeah, yeah, okay, I wouldn't think he's

560
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 3: super expensive.

561
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: For the forty nine Ers extend offensive tackle Colet mckiwick's yeah,

562
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: that's not super exciting.

563
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 3: Right, that's not super exciting, But some O line continuity

564
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 3: would be good. Williams won't be there much longer, but

565
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: the Chivitz is average at best starting right tackle. Yeah.

566
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: For the Seahawks, sign guard Brandon Shurf.

567
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 3: Some of these dudes, it's easy to say sign them,

568
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 3: but your medical staff's like, yeah, you don't know where

569
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 3: they're at right, Like, like you don't want to sign

570
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: this guy, but the version we last remember would be

571
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 3: a starter for them. Yeah.

572
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: Finally, let's move on to the AFC North.

573
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 3: All right.

574
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: For Baltimore extend quarterback Lamar Jackson, is.

575
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: It that time already?

576
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: And wasn't he just like he signed, shopped and all

577
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: that signed through twenty twenty seven?

578
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: Okay, so he's never going anywhere that.

579
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 2: Could wait, That could wait, but the price is only

580
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: going to continue to go up.

581
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I guess it deals like that. It's

582
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 3: do you need the cap space now or you know,

583
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: when you want to move the money around. They got

584
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 3: to be done signing people after Jari Alexander. Yeah. I

585
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: guess they're the team that made the most recent moves,

586
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: so maybe it's hard to come up with something for

587
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: him to.

588
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: Jackson's now tenth among quarterbacks in average annual salary, and.

589
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 3: He'll go to one if they were signed today. He'd

590
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: be won. Then somebody will pass them and you know, yeah,

591
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: he's never leaving.

592
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: For the Bengals. Solve the Schamar Stuart problem.

593
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 3: Or Hendrickson, I would just say, do something. Solve the

594
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: defensive end problem.

595
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 2: I think the Stewart thing is more interesting because they're

596
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 2: at a contract. Impass. We even talked much about it.

597
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: In a situation in a league where these guys are

598
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: slotted now right, like, there's.

599
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 3: They're not fighting over the dollars, there's the language.

600
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: They're fighting over language.

601
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's burning a lot of bridges. So I

602
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 3: don't know if people know this, but he can't go

603
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: back to college. I'll never play another snap in college otherwise,

604
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 3: and maybe he should have came back back anyways, made

605
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 3: a ton of nil money, actually have some sacks that

606
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: would you know. But he can go back in the draft.

607
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 3: He can to say I'm sitting out this year and

608
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 3: he will be draft eligible. You I would think he's

609
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: probably not a first rounder. Probably not, but I don't

610
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: know what the d ND edge class is like. But

611
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: he's a year older, but he's probably he's young coming

612
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 3: out there, yeah right, I mean it's not he probably

613
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 3: wouldn't get drafted that much later than he did. No,

614
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 3: I mean he was like eighteen. He might go so

615
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: twenty to forty, that's not that bad, you know, he

616
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 3: might do that. Yeah, what a waste that would.

617
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 2: And maybe getting to the point where he just doesn't

618
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: want to play for the Bengals.

619
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 3: I'm tired of these guys, right. I use just conversation

620
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 3: all the time. I use this example all the time.

621
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 3: Is like her Big follows around Watt, Harmon follows around Heyward. Well,

622
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 3: this guy's fallowing around Hendrickson, who couldn't be any unhappy

623
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 3: with this situation either, you know. And Miles Murphy from

624
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 3: the year before, like the leader in your position room,

625
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: who's your best player, is talking about how he hates

626
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: the organization. Not good, no, right, And it's all self induced.

627
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 2: For Cleveland make some decisions on the offensive line.

628
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 3: That's one of my biggest offseason rants is how can

629
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 3: you make that Hunter trade and not draft one offensive

630
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: lineman and you're drafting two quarterbacks, a backup tight end

631
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: and two running backs. I don't understand it at all

632
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: because four, I think five of their top seven linemen,

633
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 3: like the guys have a chance to play, are all

634
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 3: free agents. After this year and they're getting old and

635
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 3: or over thirty. Yes, right, both the goal guards Conklin.

636
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 3: They signed Jenkins to be a backup. It's only a

637
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 3: one year deal. They basically only have like dwald Jones. Yeah,

638
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 3: for the future. Fine. I mean he's not the best

639
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 3: guy out. I mean, he shouldn't be your best lineman,

640
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: that's for sure. I think he's playing left this year

641
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 3: because they hope they have a left tackle. Yeah, good

642
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 3: luck with that. But I mean they have all those

643
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 3: picks and not take anybody crazy, no sense to me

644
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 3: at all crazy.

645
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 2: And for these Steelers extended rusher TJ.

646
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 3: Watt's gonna happen.

647
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I yeah, fully expect that to happen.

648
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty low hanging fruit. Yeah. I mean you could

649
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 3: have gone with inquire about a wide receiver, you know,

650
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 3: could have mentioned Cooper there, not Keenan Allen. But you know,

651
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 3: the TJ. Watt thing to me is almost not a story.

652
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to get done.

653
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 3: It's going to get done. And the other aspect of

654
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 3: it is if he's not working out or if he's

655
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 3: holding in a training camp, deep down, Mike Commlins gonna

656
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: be like good, He's not gonna get hurt, right, you know, right,

657
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 3: he's gonna be laughing and joking and doing all the

658
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 3: studies and he's gonna be in shape and he won't

659
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 3: get hurt. And this is where.

660
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 2: Miss him. How misinformation gets out there because shafts list

661
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: w is being thirty two years old.

662
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 3: That's not true.

663
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 2: No, he's thirty.

664
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 3: He's not even closed. It's not like he will be thirty.

665
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 2: Term thirty one in mid October.

666
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's not even his thirty two season. It's

667
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 3: gonna that's a big deal. Yeah, a little bit, right,

668
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 3: right right? Okay, Wow, I would just assume that that's correct,

669
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 3: like everyone which people. It's on ESPN, so I should

670
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 3: know this. And I actually wrote for this website. If

671
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 3: I handed that in it gets edited. Whose fault is

672
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: it that gets on ESPN dot com writer or editor?

673
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 3: I blame the writer, I said. The writer can't just

674
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 3: pull it out of thin air.

675
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: I don't know that they have quote unquote editors anymore

676
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 2: for pieces like this. Okay, they probably still do for

677
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 2: their long form stuff.

678
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 3: Like if I wrote this article back in the day,

679
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 3: I would send it to the guy John Banks, who

680
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 3: happened to be from mount Lebanon. Strangely enough, he was

681
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 3: in charge of the NFL page and I don't know

682
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 3: where it happened from there, but it ended up on

683
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 3: NFL dot com. I don't know who editor, but things

684
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 3: got changed, right, I mean, like some of the words.

685
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 3: They changed some of my words. But I would have

686
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 3: go ot a ear fool if I had the wrong

687
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 3: eight years by two years, right. I mean that just

688
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 3: means you're just guessing off the top of your head,

689
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 3: or you think you're right. Something like that is pretty

690
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 3: easy to fact check. It's birthday, right, I just looked

691
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 3: it up.

692
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, he's not thirty two.

693
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so I looked it up.

694
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, he's not even thirty one. But you hear

695
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 2: that bandied about a lot. Oh you can't see. You

696
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,959
Speaker 2: can't sign a thirty one year old outside linebacker, right,

697
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 2: This isn't thirty one yet. This isn't like a.

698
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 3: Fifty five year old CEO of Apple when he's really

699
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 3: fifty three, right. These guys only have so many years

700
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 3: of the league, and thirty and thirty two is a

701
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 3: lot different, a bit of a difference. Yeah, you're right,

702
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 3: they're athletes, Yeah right.

703
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, that's bad, but yeah.

704
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 3: I would have went right over my head reading it right.

705
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: That is Aaron Shotts is uh.

706
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: Who does good work. By the way, reference lot.

707
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 2: Yeah oh on ESPN proposing one final offseason move. We're

708
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 2: all thirty two teams in the NFL.

709
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 3: Some aren't super exciting, some kind of a fun.

710
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna get to another break. Matt and I

711
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 2: come back. We'll be back to finish up the show

712
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 2: right after this.

713
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: At least.

714
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: He's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

715
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven Home of the Black and

716
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

717
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 2: And we are back on Dale Lolly. He is the

718
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and well, Matt, they big plans this weekend.

719
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 3: No, not really, we are. My family is very geared

720
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,879
Speaker 3: towards this graduation party that my son's gonna have. Yeah,

721
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 3: and it just keeps getting more and more expensive. To

722
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 3: be honest with you, we now will do that. Yeah,

723
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 3: and I'm a little jealous of the folks that did

724
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 3: it a month ago, like when graduation was so the

725
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 3: longer we wait, the more the weight or the guest

726
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 3: list comes. You guys are both welcome. I might as

727
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 3: well just invite everybody now that's listening, stop by. We

728
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 3: now have a pizza truck coming. Wow. Yeah, we're having

729
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 3: an area of the the yard sodded, not even like

730
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 3: grass seated. I mean like we're gonna play a game

731
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 3: on it or something so the kids can play cornal

732
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 3: on it. I think we bought a we bought a

733
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 3: slushy machine that has gotten some use since then, by

734
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 3: the way, and seems to be a hit. Is the

735
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 3: hot dog machine. Oh, the hot dog roller will probably

736
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 3: make an appearance as well, of course. So almost everything's

737
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 3: been geared towards this big event, which will be awesome,

738
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 3: but it won't break my heart when it comes and goes. Either.

739
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 2: Well it's gonna break your heart when it goes.

740
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 3: When the bills come.

741
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: The bills are gonna come, and you got to clean

742
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: it all up.

743
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 3: Well, the cleanup is gonna be it's a mess, right right.

744
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 3: But I think like this pizza truck makes like a

745
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 3: hundred pizzas in two hours or whatever. They just hand

746
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 3: them out. Everyone have a pizza, I have a pizza,

747
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: you know whatever. I don't know. It's I'm grunt working it,

748
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 3: but trust me and my wife's doing at its crazy.

749
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 3: It is kind of crazy. Yeah, we have tents in

750
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 3: the driveway, right, don't tell everybody because people show my

751
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 3: house and I don't even know. But yeah, I think so.

752
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 2: I've got the invitation at home.

753
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, justin You should stop by it too,

754
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 3: I think, you know, but there'll be some of that

755
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 3: kind of stuff going on.

756
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: Considering your son is going to Kentucky, right, I think

757
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 2: you should have a bourbon tasting station that.

758
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 3: Actually got mixed. That we were going to have a

759
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 3: bourbon section. And my wife already has bourbon slushes in

760
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 3: the in the freezer, so there will be bourbon represented.

761
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 3: And I can almost promise you there will be bourbon

762
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 3: bottles brought to the house, probably by my friends. But

763
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 3: the bourbon station got mixed. There will be a keg.

764
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 3: There'll be plenty of libations, don't get me wrong, but

765
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 3: we just figured eventually. I think it's the only thing

766
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 3: we've mixed everything else. He's pushing for a water slide

767
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 3: in the front yard, like one of those blow up ones,

768
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,240

816
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,479
Speaker 3: a good thing. It's a good thing. You don't want

817
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 3: your team in the headlines. Yeah this time of year.

818
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 3: Someone asked me their day, like, so, what you've been

819
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 3: doing this month? I'm like, well, creating content and still

820
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 3: doing stuff, but I also take an extra nap. Yeah,

821
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, like I watch more Netflix. And

822
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 3: I kind of made the joke. It's like I'm in

823
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 3: like I'm like a bear hibernating right now because when

824
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 3: I come out of hibernation, I gotta be the biggest,

825
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 3: baddest bear in the in the Yeah. Yeah, I gotta

826
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 3: fight for my cubs. And you know, the game time

827
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 3: is a lot different. So I'm hybernating right now. Yeah. Yeah,

828
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 3: It's not like I'm hiking and doing crazy stuff necessarily.

829
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 3: I'm kind of conserving some energy. Yeah that's nice. Yeah.

830
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 3: One other thing that did happen today in the NFL,

831
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 3: the Buccaneers then of the contracts of GM Jason Licht

832
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 3: and head coach Doll Bowles. I think well deserved. I mean,

833
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 3: they win their division almost every year. It seems like

834
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 3: an underreported story, even like going all the way on

835
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 3: Brady didn't hurt them afterwards, you know, they didn't have

836
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 3: to pay the price.

837
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 2: If Rogers works out, I mean there are some there's

838
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 2: some similarities there.

839
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 3: Or even like Peyton Manning with the Broncos. I mean

840
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 3: those teams won the Super Bowl, right, you know it's

841
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 3: not unheard of, it is not. These are the best

842
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 3: quarterbacks that ever lived, right, really three of the best, Yeah,

843
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 3: the best ever lived. You could make argument all are

844
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 3: in the top five. Yeah, but yeah they're well deserved. Absolutely.

845
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 3: I was like Todd Todd was our defense assistant defensive

846
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 3: back coach when I was with the Browns. Chuck Pagono

847
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 3: was the top defensive back coach. And just tell you

848
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 3: it's super smart, bright future.

849
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: That's a good job. Yeah, yeah, yeah, does a good job. Anyways,

850
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,479
Speaker 2: that's going to do it for the show today. We'll
