1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 2: Good evening, Steeler Nation, How we do it us too?

4
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: It is the Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. As

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: the afternoon moves into the evening and the trade deadline

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: pencils down, everybody has passed and the Pittsburgh Steelers have stood.

7
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: Pat matt Well, I guess to be fair, like we mentioned,

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: they did make the Kyle Dugger trade last week.

9
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 3: That's funny, like if you make a trade two days

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 3: before the deadline, you didn't do anything.

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 2: You didn't do anything, not maybe a big sexy splash

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 2: like some people had hoped for. But they did get

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: their business done a little bit early. I think there's

14
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: something to be said for that. There certainly was on

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: Sunday you needed that guy. But that appears to be

16
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But of course a lot of

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 2: moving and shaking across the league.

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 3: Are you surprised?

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: Ish?

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: I am too. I would have bet yes. Like if

21
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: I woke up this morning and said will the trade

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: be done today?

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: I would have said yes.

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 3: I would have said yes.

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have said one no, but I would have

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: leaned that direction. I also wouldn't have said you're gonna

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: get Chris Olave or Garrett Wilson or some some massive

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: massive name, some massive massive name. But yeah, I I

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: would have leaned towards yes. Me too, I would have

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: definitely leaned towards yes.

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: And so because after last year, I know it's not much,

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: but like Preston Smith and Mike Williams, like I didn't

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: see that coming, right, just add something, you know.

34
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm with you one hundred percent, and.

35
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: Not that those deals paid off great, but yeah.

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: You know, again, like there's reports out that what you

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: would really like to know if you could be the

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: fly on the proverbial wall, right or the proverbial fly

39
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: on the wall, is what conversations were they having.

40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it'd be great.

41
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: Because like you know, there's reports out there that the

42
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: Dolphins were asking for a first round pick and more

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: for Jalen Waddle. Was it similar for like a Chris

44
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: o'lave and some of these You know, the Steelers did

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 2: kick the tires on some of these and ended up passing.

46
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 3: Both those guys. You can easily make the case from

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: the Saints and Dolphins perspective should be part of the answer,

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: not the problem.

49
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: Too, especially if you want that answer to come in

50
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: the next calendar year and.

51
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: You're geting in new quarterback, you have someone to throw

52
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: them to.

53
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: Absolutely, right, you know, right, absolutely, yeah, you want to nest, right,

54
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: like we always talk about, you want to nest and

55
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: so you know, maybe I'd love to know how involved

56
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: the Steelers really were in the Jacobe Meers conversations. There

57
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: were reports out there that they were, and that the

58
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Chargers offered a little bit more, or the Chargers part

59
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: of me, the Jaguars offered a little bit more.

60
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: And if I were the Raiders, I'd been pretty happy

61
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: with that haul. It was a fourth and six six,

62
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 3: that's if you had told me to Steeler gave a

63
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: fourth and six, like.

64
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: Oh, kind of a lot, little rich for your blood rich, right,

65
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: But that's the things that I wanted to ask you.

66
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: He is due for a contract at the end of

67
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: the season.

68
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: To pay him.

69
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: On top of that, you either got to pay him,

70
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: but there's also no guarantees that he's going to resign, right.

71
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: You know, you might trade for him and he might

72
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: say I'm hitting the open market.

73
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: And sometimes those deals get put in place. I'll give

74
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 3: you the fourth and sixth. If I could talk to

75
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: the agent. We got a deal totally, you know, a

76
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: handshake agreement totally. But the Steelers usually don't do those things.

77
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: They don't negotiate people in mid season.

78
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: I mean that's part of that too, right, I.

79
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: Don't know if they would in an instance like that

80
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: or not. And he's not good enough to franchise' nothing's bad,

81
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: but you know you don't have that.

82
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: You don't want to pay that kind of money. Yeah, yeah,

83
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: so plenty to get into here.

84
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: Matt Schefter did report like when Schefter's first tweet said

85
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: the Steelers and somebody else were interested, yes, you know, yes,

86
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: I trust him. Uh.

87
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: The Bills and the Chiefs also not making any moves today,

88
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: which is a little surprising, but Matt one that is

89
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: I think kind of the.

90
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: Tea that were busy, I mean other than the bad

91
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: teams were like Dallas and Jacksonville, like are you guys

92
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: contenders or not?

93
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: And the Chargers too. Yeah yeah, right, yeah, let's get

94
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: into that one. Since it's the Steelers upcoming opponent, this

95
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: is it's.

96
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: A minor move, but it's relevant for today.

97
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: The Chargers acquired offensive lineman Trevor Penning from the Saints

98
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: amid obviously just that laundry list of injuries that LA

99
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: has had to their offensive line. What do we need

100
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: to know about Trevor Penning?

101
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he as the Saints often do. They were very

102
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: aggressive on draft day what four years ago, and they

103
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: took a lave early and then they traded up to

104
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: get Penning, who's he went to Northern Illinois and Northern Iowa. Yes,

105
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: a small school dude that really tested well, big, super

106
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: physical Senior Bowl was kind of a standout, very violent,

107
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 3: slash penalty prone after the whistle, throw people down, kick them,

108
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: you know, like I mean stuff like too much, you know.

109
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: And frankly, I never really liked him coming out of

110
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: school and joked back then that this guy is more

111
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: likely to be a WWE heavyweight champion than he is

112
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer, you know, like he just screams WW

113
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: to me because he's like a big three and thirty

114
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: pound acute, a nasty right right.

115
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: Running right through the fireworks and the fire and smoke.

116
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: It looks like he's always too caffeinated up and you know,

117
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: but it is telling because I'm sure They gave up nothing.

118
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 2: For twenty twenty seven sixth round pick.

119
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 3: Which is the least you can give up in the

120
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: whole world, basically because he was they obviously we're not

121
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: going to pick him a fifth year of option. They drafted

122
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: some of the Saints. They drafted a tackle in each

123
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: of the last two first rounds, which just screams, you

124
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 3: weren't the answer four years ago. So I took a

125
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: tackle now I think about it, three out of four

126
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 3: years in the first round. Yeah, obviously they weren't thrilled

127
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: with him, but to me, it just screams how bad

128
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: the the offensive tackle and no line situation is in order.

129
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 3: The Charger Yeah right, so might as well go down

130
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: this road now like the Steelers, but even in a

131
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 3: better way. And the Saints, come to think of it,

132
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: these this was a team. The Chargers then invested two

133
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 3: premium picks in offensive tackles in a short amount of time.

134
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: Slater was already there before Harbaugh was hired, but there

135
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: was a year in between. Unlike the Saints and Steelers,

136
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 3: Slater gap Harbaugh gets their Alt and you're like, whoa,

137
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: this is gonna be awesome. And Alt's a pure left tackle,

138
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: but they put him at right because Slater was entrenched

139
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: at left. This offseason, they give Slater a huge deal,

140
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: one of the most highly paid alignement in history, and

141
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: then you feel terrible about it. But shortly after he

142
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: gets hurt in mini camp or training camp or something

143
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: out for the year, you know, like right after gave

144
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: him the deal, you take all and you move him

145
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: back to the left where he played a Notre Dame, and

146
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 3: he looks like he's into his whole life and is

147
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: better than ever one of the league. And then he

148
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: gets hurt and they kind of fall apart without him,

149
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: as you can imagine, you lost both your tackles. Then

150
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: he came back a couple of years, a couple of

151
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: weeks ago, maybe even just two weeks ago, looked phenomenal,

152
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: offense starts to turn around. I don't think that's a coincidence.

153
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: And then he gets hurt last week and he's now

154
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: out for the year, so you really have nothing at tackle,

155
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: and Heart was the right tackle. I guess we'll start

156
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 3: getting into their practice reports, and it always gets cloudy

157
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 3: with West Coast teams.

158
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: Dat, yeah, the time difference and everything, but Heart.

159
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: The right tackle. Last week they started right there, hard

160
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: at right all that left both got hurt and I

161
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: don't think either finished the game. All absolutely did not.

162
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: And Heart's not very good either. I mean he's been

163
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: He's like a petting journeyman anyway. But that was the

164
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: best they had, so they might be short both those

165
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: dudes back then. Who was a tackle by trade that

166
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: the Eagles turned into a high and guard. Another former

167
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: first round pick is really good when he's out there,

168
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: but he's hurt all the time too. Penning has played

169
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: some guard for the Saints, so I guess they're probably

170
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: looking at it like we just want big bodies with

171
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: We've talked to a million times how hard it is to

172
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: trade for o lineman and tackles the deadline. I mean,

173
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: sometimes you can get the former first round pick that

174
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: is a total washout, and that's exactly what he is.

175
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: So if he sees the field, it just shows the

176
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: state that they're.

177
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: It shows kind of the desperate, yeah, desperate mode that

178
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: they're in.

179
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: And matchups. I'm gonna so we do this matchup show

180
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: with Missy and Rob and we start emailing each other

181
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 3: usually like Tuesday morning, like what are our topics for

182
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: the week, and yeah, what are the three we're going

183
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: to pick on each side of the ball. And the

184
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: big thing I think I'm stressing more than ever is

185
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 3: their tackles against the Steelers edge guys. And I think

186
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 3: the Steelers tackles against their edge guys is important too.

187
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: Khalil Mack two to a Pelopo. I'm I try not

188
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: to pronounce it impressive. And who's their other edge guys?

189
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 3: Pretty good? Oh? A way that they traded forffee over Yeah,

190
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: so something to keep in mind.

191
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: We will deep dive into that plenty later on in

192
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: the week. Yes, yes, Matt, before we get to some

193
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: more of these blockbusters, stay in division here. Are you

194
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: surprised we didn't see Cincinnati do anything today in the

195
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: cellar department, particularly obviously Trey Hendrickson.

196
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, sort of, Except for their such a stubborn organize.

197
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: They are notoriously tough to deal with.

198
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: And notoriously I bet that was a sticky.

199
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: They make fewer trades than anybody here.

200
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 3: They do. And I just noticed when I was getting

201
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 3: coffee last time, I was just messed around on Twitter

202
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: looking to see if there's any more moves. Joe Goodberry's

203
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 3: covered the Bengals for a really long time and well respected,

204
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 3: and I trust him. With the Bengals, he thinks they're

205
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: gonna franchise him after the year, which to me just

206
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: screams more dissension and problem. Hold sounding your problems, and

207
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 3: you know, so that's probably the way they're thinking about it,

208
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: and therefore they probably only would take a one for them.

209
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 3: But even if I'm like the Lions, I'm not giving

210
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: you a one for nine games plus playoffs. And then

211
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 3: I got to pay him on top of that at

212
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: his age, you know. Yeah, So I was joking on

213
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 3: my podcast earlier today, like the Bengals to me, are

214
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 3: that team in your fantasy league where you go to

215
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 3: the draft and everyone's drinking and having a good time.

216
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: And he's thrilled with this team. You know, man, I

217
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 3: can't believe I got this guy in the fifth round

218
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: and I got this guy in the seventh round. My

219
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 3: team's awesome. And then Week five, Week ten, he still

220
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 3: thinks his team's never changed, you know, like I still

221
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: have the best team ever, Like nothing's ever changed. I

222
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: got the best. You know, I nailed it. I don't

223
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: need to do anything, I don't need to make any moves. Well,

224
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: then you lose.

225
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: You know, yes, yes you do. I am surprised by that.

226
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: Not surprised by that, because that's just kind of the

227
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: Bengals and what they do. But I thought, man, that

228
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 2: one feels like, do you.

229
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: Think they think they can still compete and get in

230
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 3: the playoffs? I bet the answer is yes.

231
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: I think makes them better totally after they beat the Steelers.

232
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: Completely fair conversation in.

233
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 3: A way, that might have been the worst thing for them.

234
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: Because if they would have lost to the Steelers.

235
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: And there definitely and I think you're making and.

236
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: You're definitely looking forward to twenty twenty six.

237
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I mean they're probably looking at it

238
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 3: like our offense is awesome.

239
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: Our offense is one of the better ones in the league, and.

240
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 3: We would have given up seventy without Hendrickson. Sure.

241
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: Also, are they three and five or three and six?

242
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 3: Now?

243
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: I think they're three and six.

244
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: Aren't they think they're three and six? Yeah, I don't

245
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 3: think they've had their buy No.

246
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 2: I don't think they have either. I mean, they are

247
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 2: three and six, have not had their bye week. If

248
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: you're four and five, it's a completely different story. Three

249
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: and six as opposed to four and five is just

250
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 2: a complete different story. And again, I think, particularly when

251
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: you look at the scope of the AFC, those wild

252
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 2: card spots are going to be tough. There might be

253
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: a ten win team that doesn't make the playoffs. Yeah,

254
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: and I don't.

255
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 3: And I'm sure they're looking at like if we going

256
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: to survive until Burrow gets back, that's great, but.

257
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: That's probably least still another month away. And again, it's

258
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 2: not that the offense has been the problem.

259
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna say, Like, the scored.

260
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 2: Forty two points against.

261
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 3: Scoring points isn't an issue.

262
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: I can play linebacker, right, Joe Burrow rushed the passer, Yeah,

263
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: cover Colston Lovelin down the middle of the field.

264
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: I'd rather take teams on with Burrow than Flacco. But

265
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: if you're putting up thirty to forty five every week,

266
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 3: that's not the issue. Matt.

267
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: One team who is certainly all out, all selling, all

268
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: looking towards the future is the New York j Et

269
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: s yeh Jets. Jets. Jets. They made a couple wow,

270
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: blockbuster type moves today.

271
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 3: And after the ones they made, I'm kind of shocked

272
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: they didn't make the easier ones.

273
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: The Bree Hall Tall Yeah, We're gonna get to that

274
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: on the other side, because that's gonna be a beefier conversation.

275
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: That's the biggest story.

276
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: It's the biggest It's the story in the NFL today,

277
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 2: maybe the story in sports today. Let's get to that

278
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: when we return on the other sides. We have plenty

279
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: of time to discuss. It will continue to kick around

280
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: all these different trade deadline deals across the National Football League.

281
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: What ruler Matt Williams said, it's the Drive on Steelers

282
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 2: Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network.

283
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on your twenty four to seven

284
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

285
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: All right, Matt, certainly the story of the trade deadline

286
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 2: day is the New York Jets. You talk about selling

287
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: fire sale for the New York Jets, although as you mentioned,

288
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 2: they did retain Breise Hall and Garrett Wilson. I think

289
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: the two pieces that everybody thought could be on the move,

290
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: and Hall's.

291
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: A free agent after the year, so I think he's

292
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: not gonna be around. Yes, yes, I probably said he

293
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 3: wanted traded like an hour ago.

294
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: Maybe they just couldn't find anyone who was giving them

295
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: any type of a reasonable offer. And they didn't want

296
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: to sell them for nothing.

297
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: But I don't understand holding on to him at that position,

298
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 3: because that's not a long I mean, Jermaine Johnson, I

299
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: understand hold on to the ends. But you know, if you.

300
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: Want to talk about teams pushing their chips to the

301
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: center of the table, Matt, I think that's certainly what

302
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts did earlier today.

303
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you start there.

304
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: Let's start there because I think, I mean, that was

305
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: the first move that came across the timeline as well

306
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: to chronological order. Wow, the Steelers really sent the Colts

307
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: into panic mode.

308
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: Huh.

309
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: That's a funny side story for you. The Colts traded

310
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: for Sauce Garner, one of the biggest name cornerbacks in

311
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: the National Football League, for two first round picks. The

312
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: Jets get each of the colts next two first rounders,

313
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: so twenty twenty six, twenty seven, and wide receiver A. D. Mitchell,

314
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: who we discussed a little bit on the show last week,

315
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: was kind of the odd man, not a nobody, though

316
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: he's not a nobody, right, I'd take him here.

317
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: Oh so real quick on Mitchell, I alon'st spend too

318
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: much time on him, but everyone knows I broadcast from

319
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: the draft live and when the Zach Frasier pick popped up,

320
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: we always talk about, like who would you take right

321
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: now if you're on the clock, And everyone in the

322
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 3: room that I was on the air with was like, oh,

323
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: Fraser's there. We were holding our breath the whole time.

324
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 3: I'm hoping to get there. Yes, But then the immediate

325
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: question is, because we need to talk about other stuff,

326
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: is if he wasn't there, who would be your pick?

327
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: And I was ad Mitchell, you know, I mean like

328
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: he's a big, very talented downfield threat that might even

329
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 3: start for the Jets today. But he's got some knucklehead

330
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: to him too. I mean he did in Texas and

331
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: he's the one that like dropped the ball all going

332
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: into the end zone and highly inconsistent. But if you're

333
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: the Jets, I'll take a chance on him opposite Garrett

334
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 3: Wilson and maybe I hit you know, if he's a

335
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: throw in on the deal. He yeah, because frankly, I

336
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: think two first for Sauce as too much as it is,

337
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: I think so too. Yeah, he's a good player.

338
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: He's a very good, good player, very good player. But

339
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: that's that's Michael Parsons type. Yeah, right, right right, you know,

340
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: that's two for K and his prime type trade conversation.

341
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: Most of the.

342
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: Time in history, the team getting the player gets the

343
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: short end of the stick when it's all said and done,

344
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: and I don't think that'll be true with Parsons, but

345
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: I think he might be the exception. And one of

346
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: them was like Jamal Adams, you know, going to Seattle.

347
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: I mean like, yeah, I mean there's a couple of

348
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: them that like, whoa what were you thinking? Mark Cooper

349
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: was one of them, you know. So if I'm the Jets,

350
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 3: I'm thrilled about it. And with all respect the Coltsweet

351
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: did power ranks. They probably won't pick thirty, thirty one,

352
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: thirty two. I don't think they'll pick twenty. They'll probably

353
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: be twenty six something like that, you know, and you

354
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: get the year after that, but who knows who the

355
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: quarterback is. I mean, they could easily fall back to

356
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: They're not the Bills of the Chiefs, where you know

357
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 3: they're going to pick in the top five their last five.

358
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 2: Of every drave basically yeah, for the next as long

359
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: as they have Mahomes Josh Allen next decade.

360
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: Like, if we're doing this one year from today, the

361
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 3: Colts might be twelfth in the power ranks or twentieth.

362
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 3: I mean that's not crazy. So you know, that's a

363
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 3: good team to pick up first for this is noteworthy

364
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: and it's actually kind of true. The money matters, Like

365
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: nobody thinks about that stuff. Is Sauce worth a two

366
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 3: or two? First? I don't think he is. But we

367
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 3: also discussed heavily going into the Colts week that the

368
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 3: weakest position on the Colts was corner and they spent

369
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: money there on ward. Who's been out and they were

370
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 3: such a vanilla cover three type of team years before.

371
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: They want to be man coverage corners based. So this

372
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: is really a great fit for what they're doing. But

373
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 3: I do think they overspent. But why I brought up

374
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: the money is the Jets signed Sauce this offseason, so

375
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 3: all his all his uh bonus money came out of

376
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: the Jets pocket. Yes, so the big stuff financially, Thanks

377
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: New York. Therefore, will give you a.

378
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: Little bit more, you know, it makes sense.

379
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: You know, you can't forget about that kind of stuff.

380
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 2: We'll give up maybe a little more draft capital, but.

381
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 3: We won't because it doesn't kill our capital.

382
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: We won't be on the hook for as much compensation.

383
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 3: Financial really happy with He's gonna be happy for years.

384
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: We don't have to worry about it for a while.

385
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 3: You did that work for us. Thanks.

386
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 2: It's a it's a big move for the colts man.

387
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: Big move for the that's right.

388
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 2: That's a Barry Bonds swinging for the fences type right there. Uh,

389
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: and certainly one that we will keep an eye on

390
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: and it will be a storyline down the stretch here.

391
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: But much like Billy Mays. But wait, there's more. I

392
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 2: had to think of the famous infomercial guy. Uh. The

393
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: Jets also traded probably their biggest name on defense, Las Gardner,

394
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: their second biggest name on defense, and Quinn Williams.

395
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: Definitely their best two guys on defense.

396
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 2: To the Dallas Cowboys. Uh wow, as as Dallas makes

397
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: a big move despite losing last night on Monday Night Football,

398
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: or maybe that's the reason why the Cowboys get Quinn

399
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: Williams for this year's second round pick, next year's first

400
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: round pick.

401
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 3: And well I thought it was only a first straight up.

402
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: No, it's twenty twenty six second rounder twenty twenty seven

403
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: first rounder and defensive tackle Mazie Smith.

404
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: So I misspoke at one point in the show. Dallas

405
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 3: still has two two's this year. They have theirs in

406
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 3: the Packers. Okay, so they gave up their two this year, gotcha,

407
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 3: and they'd already given up their three to the Steelers

408
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: for pickings. What okay, So I'm just trying to keep track.

409
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, just keep tracking. That's right, It's right.

410
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: I don't have a first a year from now, so

411
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: maybe they're two nos. I mean, we'll get talk about

412
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 3: this close to the draft. But if you don't have

413
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 3: a first two years from now and you don't need

414
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: a quarterback, maybe you're gonna move back and try to

415
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: pick up the future first. What something good to say?

416
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: According to Adam Schefter, the terms of that trade the

417
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: Jets in twenty twenty seven, they will get from the

418
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: Cowboys the higher of their two first round draft picks.

419
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 2: So whether it's THEIRS or Green Bay, oh okay, the

420
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 2: Jets get whoever ends up being higher next.

421
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 3: Year, whatever's better.

422
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: Yes, good for the Jets.

423
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 3: I mean, Jet's got a lot back for two players.

424
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: And Matt Jets draft picks for the next two years,

425
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: next two drafts twenty first twenty twenty six. They have

426
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 2: THEIRS and the Colts first rounders. They have THEIRS in

427
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 2: Dallas's second rounders. So they got four picks next or

428
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: this year in the first two rounds.

429
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 3: Probably all in the top fifty.

430
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, twenty twenty seven, three first round picks right now, THEIRS,

431
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: Dallas's and Indyes.

432
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 3: Wow, Now it could end.

433
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: Up being the Packers one that way.

434
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

435
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: But they give and they'll have a ton of cap space.

436
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 3: I mean, you got Williams off the books, you got

437
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 3: Sauce off the books. You don't have that many other

438
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 3: huge contracts anyway, so you should be able to be

439
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 3: buyers in free agency too.

440
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 2: They saved, according to Schefter here nearly twenty four million

441
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: dollars in cap space. Twenty three point seven million.

442
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: Okay, and that's probably just off this year's cap let

443
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: alone next year's and all that stuff too. Now they

444
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: don't have any good players or a quarterback, you know,

445
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: like they might right right right, they might have an

446
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 3: O line and Garrett Wilson, you know, is building blocks.

447
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go back to the Cowboys and come back

448
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 3: to the jetson I don't hate it for the Cowboys.

449
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 3: That's more than I thought they gave up. I thought

450
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: they gave up their first this year, straight up for Williams,

451
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: and it was more than that because of two and

452
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: it's a one. But he's pretty awesome.

453
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 2: And he's very good.

454
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: He's very good. And I don't think any of these

455
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: guys are close to Micah Parsons, but Ezerique their second

456
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: round pick from Boston College last night. Their edge guys

457
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: aren't bad, Fouler. They've got like three or four dudes

458
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: on the edge, none of whom are Parsons. But they're

459
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 3: all quality, young, talented players. And now you put Clark

460
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 3: connects to Quinn in you know, they got Clark in

461
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 3: the Micah deal, It's like, okay, I mean, now that's

462
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 3: a very respectable front. And Williams is pretty awesome, so

463
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: I get that. And their run defense is terrible too,

464
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 3: and you.

465
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, it's a lot, but it's a lot, it is.

466
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: But it's also I don't I don't know what the

467
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: Cowboys are doing. I know we say that a lot.

468
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: But I think they want to be in the news

469
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: all the time. They just I think they value the

470
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 3: value of the franchise and the brand, no doubt more

471
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 3: above everything.

472
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 2: It's like they just collect football cards. Yeah, it's like

473
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 2: they're not actually trying to build a team, They're just

474
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 2: trying to collect football card.

475
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: Le's just be relevant in the news all the time.

476
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: My goodness, how nice to be the Philadelphia Eagles in

477
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 2: that division.

478
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, come to think of it, like Washington

479
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 3: was scary for about five minutes. Dallas ten's always screwed up,

480
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 3: the Giants always.

481
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: The Giants were scary for about five seconds. Yeah.

482
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. But back to the Jets, speaking of which, do

483
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: we have any faith that they're going to do the

484
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 3: right thing with these resources? Though? I mean history shows

485
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: the answer is no. It's kind of like when the

486
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: Browns have a million picks, right, Okay, I mean that

487
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 3: I love the approach, Like if the Steelers ever gotten

488
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: that situation, which has never happened in.

489
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: My life, yeah, hopefully it won't, I would.

490
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 3: Trust, Or if the Eagles ever gotten that situation, if

491
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: they had that many picks, would be like, oh look out.

492
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 3: But I've seen this story with the Jets and Browns

493
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 3: with this many picks, and they never do that with

494
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 3: I mean, they don't Win.

495
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: I've seen this fish before. Yeaham, yes, yeats, I did.

496
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: I didn't feel like they're.

497
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: Gonna trade them all for Johnny Manziel. You know what

498
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 3: I mean?

499
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, trade them all for Arch Manning. Yeah, exactly,

500
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: although he's looked a little bit better the last couple weeks.

501
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: We'll talk more about tomorrow.

502
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 2: We'll talk a little bit more about that tomorrow. I yeah,

503
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: I again, if you would have told me today when

504
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: I when we woke up, the Jets are going to

505
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 2: trade two big pieces, I said, Oh, Breeshaw and Garrett

506
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: Wilson have a new home.

507
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I never thought Gardner be won.

508
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 2: Five years old, who got his contract? Right?

509
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: We just gave him huge signing.

510
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 2: But Quinn Williams isn't quite that young. But he's also

511
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: not long in.

512
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 3: The tooth yet he's in his prime.

513
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 2: He's right in his prime. And man, though, yeah, just

514
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: it's it is, it's surprising. It's it's very surprising from Dallas.

515
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 2: Is again, I don't want to keep going back to Dallas.

516
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: But if you look at it in the big picture

517
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 2: of things, did they really get that much for Michael Parsons.

518
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: I mean, like I was thinking that too, Clark and

519
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 3: Willy you got you got two defensive defensive tackles basically,

520
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 3: so we'll just say that the Future first got you Williams. Yes,

521
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 3: but you had to give up Parsons in this year's

522
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: two for Clark Quinn packers first this year, and I

523
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 3: think I'm missing something, maybe not maybe not pretty close.

524
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: I wonder if I can find I'm sure somebody out

525
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: here is put together.

526
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 3: All because they got to first and Clark one of

527
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 3: those first went for Williams the Future one. Yes, so yeah,

528
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 3: I think I think I down. Did I think you

529
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 3: got two defensive tackles in green Bays first this year

530
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: for Parsons Now, Quinn's worth a lot, Clark's older, Qu's

531
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: worth a.

532
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: Lot, Quinn's worth a lot.

533
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, would you do Quinn in a late one

534
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 3: for Parsons though, I don't know.

535
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: Probably not. I would have just never never model Parsons

536
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: months ago and never.

537
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 3: Had in the summer, would never had been.

538
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: Never exactly right, wouldn't even had had that conversation.

539
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 3: I am completely special. I'm a big queen Williams.

540
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: Sam, I am too, and you were. You were very

541
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: clear about that heading into this. He's an opener. Oh yeah, yeah.

542
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 3: He's a top five defensive tackle.

543
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: Yes, he's one of those guys who is not a

544
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald destroyer of worlds, but is you know, kind

545
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: of in that next tier of.

546
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 3: Pro Bowl All Pro. If we were doing really who

547
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 3: do you pick from the Jets before Week one game,

548
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 3: he might have been my pick for the Steelers. Yes,

549
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

550
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 2: I mean it would have been.

551
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 3: It's funny because they're one of the hardest teams, because

552
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 3: Wilson was really fun. Sauce is really fun.

553
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: We went in the game before the season started, we

554
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 2: would have been like, oh, you're good at corner.

555
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 3: Probably wouldn't have, but didn't really get along right And

556
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 3: then Membo I probably would have went with I think

557
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 3: so too. Imagine put him with that the line good lord.

558
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: Good luck, run on the football. Uh, Matt, Now I

559
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 2: don't like this. The Jets, the Browns, the Rams, and

560
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: the Cowboys all have multiple first round picks.

561
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Cowboys the only one I think that might

562
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 3: not be in a quarterback.

563
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: And that just depends on what happens with Dak. But

564
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: the other three absolutely.

565
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 3: Will absolutely and have way more firepower than the Steelers

566
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 3: with their extra thirds and fourth.

567
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: Yes, Now the Rams could be picking twenty ninth or

568
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 2: thirtieth or I mean, but the.

569
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 3: Falcons won't be.

570
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: They will not.

571
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 3: We might decide not to do anyth about it either, true,

572
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: maybe who knows. It seems like the year to do

573
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: it if you're them not to mention the teams that are

574
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 3: going to be bad, like the Raiders, the Saints that

575
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: already have that already have a top five pick. Yeah, man,

576
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 3: are they getting to move out of there?

577
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: Man?

578
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: Life comes at you fast in the National Football League,

579
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: doesn't it real quick?

580
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 3: Note, I could just see the Cowboys in the nature

581
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 3: of that organization shopping Dak. I don't know. I wouldn't.

582
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: And again though, why do you go out and acquire

583
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: all these proven pieces? If you're gonna shop your proven quarterback?

584
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 3: Probably they don't. Then yeah, maybe try to bring back Pickens.

585
00:27:58,119 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: And I know some people will say, listen, you're never

586
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: gonna win a Super Bowl with Dak and and and

587
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 2: all these. I believe that, but like.

588
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 3: I don't believe it's impossile. I'm not saying they will

589
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 3: winness it. They probably won't. He's probably gonna play five

590
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 3: more years, chance of.

591
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, But absolutely, But he's good. But you're taking a

592
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: risk on someone out of college where there's no guarantees

593
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: that they're even going to be good. I don't I

594
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: don't know a lot of a lot of head scratchers

595
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 2: around the National Football League today.

596
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: The quarterback landscape is really interesting right now. It is

597
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 3: big picture.

598
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: I tell you what exciting day in Indianapolis, that's for sure.

599
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 2: They they had a rough one on Sunday, but they're

600
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: they're feeling much better today.

601
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 3: They might regret it two years from now when you

602
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 3: have any picks for the first two rounds in the

603
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 3: first round. But I like the aggression.

604
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: I do too. I do too for the Colts, and

605
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: I think.

606
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: The Jets are made a great move. I will see

607
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 3: what they do with the picks. Good for the Jets

608
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: for two really good players.

609
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, it's like the Cleveland Browns trading down from

610
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: the second round pick last year. It's like, okay, yeah, smart,

611
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 2: but what are you gonna end up getting for it?

612
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 3: You raid number one is great, but what do you

613
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 3: do with pick? Yes?

614
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: Yes, oh, it's gonna be a lot to keep an Eyland.

615
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 2: I tell you what I was. I know, I've told

616
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: you this before you've met him. I think we talked

617
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: about this on the show last week. But Matt Taylor,

618
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: who's the voice of the Colts.

619
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I go on with them every year. Yeah, we

620
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 3: talk it.

621
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 2: Every year at the combine. He's a good dude. And

622
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: so I went to you know, went to holler at

623
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: him and say hello Sunday before the game and we

624
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: were talking in their broadcast booth and he was like, Dude,

625
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: this year's been crazy. He's like, we are, like we

626
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: are trying to strike while the iron's hot. Like he's

627
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 2: talking to me about all these extra shows and content

628
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: things that they're doing now. They'recause everyone's all in and focused,

629
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 2: and I wonder if this is part of that too,

630
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: Like we never think about that in Pittsburgh because.

631
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: Owners think about this stuff. Owners their own passed away and.

632
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: It's a new I mean it's it's his daughters, but

633
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: it's a new ownership group.

634
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 3: They're changing at the top.

635
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: They're like, hey, we're seven and two. We've got people's

636
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 2: attention now we're watched this. Yeah, get Sauce Garner and

637
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: we're really gonna have everybody.

638
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 3: Since Peyton and Marvin and yeah.

639
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: Ye striking while the iron's hot like. That's not something

640
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: that the Steelers and the Packers have to think about,

641
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: but a lot of teams in the NFL do.

642
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: It's a great point, and it'll forget their businesses.

643
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and you will, you will. We will certainly see

644
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: how that plays out for the Colts here in the

645
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: back half of the season. One more segment to go, Matt,

646
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: you want to do a little fantasy football focus when

647
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: we were to turn on the other side.

648
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: Sure, it so much doesn't matter, you know whatever, you

649
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: we do.

650
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 2: Do that to shut this thing down when we return

651
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: West Shooler. Matt Williamson. It is the Drive on Steelers

652
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 2: Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network, Your Teams.

653
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

654
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation.

655
00:30:49,800 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: Radio final segment here on a different kind of Tuesday.

656
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: It's been fun reacting to the NFL trade deadline, which

657
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: has gotten seemingly more and more of a big deal

658
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: every single year. And hey, that's another one of those

659
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: good for business type things for the National Football League.

660
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: There are no dummies in terms of getting eyeballs and

661
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 3: interest on a random Tuesday in November.

662
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 2: I told you the NFL the NFL doesn't have much

663
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: to learn from other leagues, and but one thing that

664
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: they learned is more teams involved in the playoff picture

665
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 2: is good for business.

666
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:33,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

667
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: I think they also learned, like, heyde trade deadline day

668
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: can be a big deal.

669
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: And it correlates to your more teams evolved thing too. Yeah.

670
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: I mean, just I'm older than you guys, but I

671
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 3: mean MLB trade deadline is a big thing, hockey trade deadline, right,

672
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 3: but NFL never was until like five years ago, maybe

673
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: some random dude to get traded. Now it's like it's

674
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 3: all we talked about for three weeks today.

675
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. I love it though. It's so smart

676
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 2: for us, it's best for business. It's more content and

677
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: so it's all good in that regard.

678
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 3: Like it blows me away whenever our buddy's here at

679
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: the station asked me like ten years agoever, hey, you

680
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: want to do a live show on schedule release day

681
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: and you get like a week or of the content

682
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: out of schedule release day? That doesn't happen in all?

683
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: Right? Week one the Steelers in San Francisco winter loss

684
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: in the middle of May.

685
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 3: And a million people listen, you know, right, hey man?

686
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: It is the UH. It is the United States of Football,

687
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 2: that is for sure, and the UH it's only that's

688
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: not going anywhere.

689
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 3: And for me and you beats covering bowling or lacrosse

690
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: for a living.

691
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: It sure does it shart us and I've had this

692
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: conversation with my wife, Matt. The NFL's next frontier is Christmas. Oh,

693
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 2: then the NBA owned. The NBA owned Christmas for like

694
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: a decade until the NFL like they were keep to leave,

695
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: just just grab their chain right off their neck. And Christmas.

696
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: These next upcoming years, I think it's a Thursday this

697
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: year and Friday then Saturday.

698
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 3: Then say, okay, these next couple.

699
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 2: Of years, the NFL is going to be loaded on Christmas.

700
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 3: Because it's gonna be hate it. Your wife will hate it.

701
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: Exactly right, exactly right, But it's what's best for business.

702
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: I know we'll get the fantasy and if we don't,

703
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: don't even care. I mean, but we're I've talked so

704
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 3: much about how the schedule to me is going to

705
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 3: be eighteen games, two buys matter. Don't be shocked if there's,

706
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 3: oh there's a random Tuesday game, there's a Wednesday game.

707
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: Because if I get a lot of buy time. You

708
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: can squeeze those in. I'll be the next test more

709
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 3: overseas you know, like Monday, Monday people watch, I wouldn't

710
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: hate that. I wouldn't either, except I like Tuesday and

711
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: Wednesday to watch CSI with my wife or whatever.

712
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 2: You know, watch the bear right, watch Game of Thrones

713
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 2: or whatever TV show your what TV show you sicking

714
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: your teeth into? Now, Matt Williams a.

715
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 3: Little short at the moment, but we started Black Rabbit

716
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 3: last night. I've heard kickf off. Yeah, that's next on

717
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 3: my Netflix. I'm finishing up Wednesday, which is the Adams

718
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 3: Family show. Watched that without me and liked it. I

719
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 3: get I think people.

720
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 2: Watch on our first season like the second season.

721
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,479
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I've heard good things.

722
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: It's good though.

723
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 3: But now we started a Black Rabbit last night at

724
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: like seven o'clock before an eight o'clock kickoff, and like

725
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 3: all my buddies, I'm intrigued.

726
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 2: All my buddies have told me, I got I've got

727
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: to watch that, But I would I would sign up

728
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: for the random Tuesday or Wednesday game more than I

729
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 2: would for more holiday games. We've had that conversation before.

730
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 2: But hey, that ain't my decision to make. Unfortunately, that's

731
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 2: way above my pay grade.

732
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 3: But to your your bottom line of the conversation is

733
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: this stuff's not slowing down, folks.

734
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: No, no, nothing slows down this train. Walter White breaking bad. Matt.

735
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 2: Let's do a little fantasy football conversation before we get up.

736
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 3: At some waiver wire guys.

737
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: We want to talk about some waiver wire guys. Excuse me,

738
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 2: and number one has to be still only owed in

739
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 2: fifty two percent of the league's Sam Donald.

740
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 3: That's nuts. I picked him up two weeks so.

741
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: Matt, I started him this past week.

742
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 3: Profit yea, yeah right. I mean there's always so many

743
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 3: examples every year of why you don't go for Allen

744
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 3: or one of these guys really high in your draft,

745
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 3: But you can pick up dudes like this.

746
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, Joe Flaco, JJ McCarthy.

747
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're they're fine. I mean, Donald to me is

748
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 3: an every week starter.

749
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: Is the other guy absolutely for me? Now? Yeah, yeah,

750
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 2: So I started in this league. I started with justin

751
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 2: fields and bow Knicks.

752
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 3: Field. You're probably pretty happy about it.

753
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 2: And I've gotten a couple okay weeks out of bow

754
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: Knicks lately. But this week going against that Houston defense.

755
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 2: I was like, I picked up I picked up Sam

756
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 2: Donald last week looking ahead move. I'm glad I did,

757
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 2: especially now because I gotta imagine he won't be eligible

758
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: for this list probably starting next week.

759
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 3: No, no, I mean he doesn't run a ton, but

760
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 3: you know that's obviously huge for a quarterback. But he's

761
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 3: not a stiff either.

762
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: I mean he's throwing three or four touchdowns a game.

763
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 3: Hey, might win the MVP.

764
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: It's crazy. Other than Sam, any other of those like

765
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco, JJ McCarthy, Marcus Mariota, any of those names.

766
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 3: Flacco, Maybe, what's Mariota do for you? Because he does

767
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 3: run an interesting one. Yeah, I don't think he's particularly good,

768
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 3: but he's been better in Washington than he was his

769
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 3: last couple stops I mentioned earlier in the show. I

770
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 3: think their defense is quite bad and there'll be in

771
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 3: a lot of shootouts, and he runs. Flacco's also proven that.

772
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: I mean, if you need somebody in a pinch, you

773
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 2: can do much worse.

774
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I mean he's not gonna run ever, but.

775
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: So well, right, he's gonna chuck that thing, baby.

776
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not gonna run the ball and grind out

777
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 3: seventeen sixteen wins in Cincinnati. No.

778
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely not running backs here. Matt Kyle, the guy whose

779
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 2: last name I always struggle to pronounce. For a guy,

780
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 2: Manung guy owned in fifty seven percent of the leagues.

781
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 2: I'm actually surprised he's not over sixty percent. Yeah, Devin Singletary,

782
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: Isaiah Davis, Tank Bigsby.

783
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: I bet Davis is on that list. With the hopes

784
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 3: that Hall got traded, I was thinking about. I mean,

785
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 3: he's a backup, and who knows how much they run

786
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 3: haul on the ground now too, and all might make

787
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 3: some businesses he might.

788
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, he might be kind of

789
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 2: checked out on the rest of the year and it

790
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: would be hard.

791
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 3: At all, probably be in leagues. Manung guy. To me,

792
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 3: they won to run the ball with a two headed

793
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 3: monster like that, like the Lions, but Swift was out.

794
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 3: They played the Bengals like if you have them, I

795
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: might shop them. It's probably the best game he's ever had.

796
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 3: He had like one hundred and seventy rushing yards or

797
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 3: something against that. Yeh yeah. Yeah.

798
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 2: Wide receivers here, Alec Pierce, Trey Trey Tucker is an

799
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: interesting one now, Yeah, because that offense showed a little

800
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 2: sign of life.

801
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 3: Hmm.

802
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of it centered around brock Bauers. But right,

803
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 2: I think still like.

804
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 3: I when this was written, they were I hoping Meyers

805
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 3: got traded and he did, Yes, yes, yeah, yeah.

806
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 2: Trade Tucker is an interesting one from Vegas and then

807
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: Alec Pierce obviously Tess Johnson on here as well too.

808
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: From the Bucks. They were starting to get a little

809
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 2: bit healthier. Yeah, won't be back.

810
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 3: Won't be back. I'm wondering what Godwin situation is post

811
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 3: By It's hard to get in there.

812
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 2: Tess Johnson's one I think worth keeping an eye on.

813
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pierce should be in every league.

814
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: I think so too.

815
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a little hit or miss, but I mean he's.

816
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 2: Only rostered in thirty eight percent right now. I I

817
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 2: think so.

818
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 3: I think he's good offense.

819
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, on a good offense. Yeah, particularly tight ends Matt Colson.

820
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,479
Speaker 2: Lovelin's got to lead the way here, right, just twenty

821
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 2: eight percent rostered going into into this past week.

822
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 3: After this past week, I think it's I am a

823
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 3: believer in a lot of these rookies getting a bump

824
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 3: later in the season after they kind of get their

825
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 3: feet under him and maybe he qualifies. I mean, yeah,

826
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 3: he's had a really good game.

827
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, how do you feel about Mason Taylor because

828
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: I know you like the player, but is there any

829
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 2: fantasy value in there now with the Jets kind of

830
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 2: abandoning ship.

831
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: So in my main league, I used a high pick

832
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 3: on Kittle, who got hurt in Week one, and I

833
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 3: didn't draft any other tight ends because I was like,

834
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 3: I'm always gonna start Kittle. I'll just pick them off

835
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 3: the way wire for his bye week, sure, not knowing

836
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 3: he's gonna get hurt. Sure the second quarter of the

837
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 3: of the season. And then I had like chig at

838
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 3: kwonkwo for a week or two and like this thinks,

839
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 3: And so I picked up Taylor and kind of fell

840
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 3: in love with them a little bit, I mean, and

841
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: more of a player than as a fantasy player. But

842
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 3: he gets a high percentage of you know, the dorky

843
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 3: Matt stats stuff I do ralchair. Oh yeah, target share.

844
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 2: That stuff really matters for fantasy fullball.

845
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 3: That's where I get most of it from. You know,

846
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 3: it is from fantasy sites red zone targets. He's second

847
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 3: leading receiver on the team. Wow. So I mean it's

848
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 3: Wilson and then him and Wilson's been out, so they're

849
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 3: gonna be losing a lot. I think people can sho

850
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 3: away in fantasy too much from yeah, but this team stinks,

851
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: and then on a quarterback. But I'm like, yeah, but

852
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 3: all the garbage time he's gonna get against prevent defenses.

853
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 3: If he's the second leading target getter on the Jets,

854
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: he's worth being on your team.

855
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: Target share, man, I mean, that's that kind of suff matters, right.

856
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 2: They're just looking for lottery tickets, as many of them

857
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 2: as you can get.

858
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 3: And obviously the Jets are in a youth movement. He

859
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 3: was their second round pick. They're gonna play him all

860
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 3: the time.

861
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: Totally.

862
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 3: He's a good football player.

863
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 2: He is. I think he's one of the more underrated

864
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 2: tight ends just because he's on a team that is

865
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 2: so bad and nobody ever watched I love.

866
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 3: I mean you did.

867
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you talked about him a lot.

868
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 3: Dad. He's a Hall of famer. I mean, like he's

869
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 3: got a lot going.

870
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 2: For final piece of breaking news here a little bit

871
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 2: Matt before we call it a day. According to Ian Rapaport,

872
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 2: the Cardinals are name in Jacoby Brissett their starting quarterback.

873
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 3: It shocks me because I bet ownership doesn't feel good

874
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 3: about that, just because all the money they gave Kyler.

875
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 3: Totally a little blurb I saw since then was there

876
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 3: in getting for more reports on his foot, which could

877
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 3: just mean like.

878
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 2: Convenient excuse to him to the Wolves.

879
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 3: But if he doesn't move well with his size and

880
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 3: his skills, he's not much used to you anyways. No,

881
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 3: but I said last night and I said this morning

882
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 3: on different shows, they're better with Bersett and they're coming off.

883
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 2: A win, and I think that's undeniable at this point.

884
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 3: I've always been atte guy too, you have been. He's

885
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:29,479
Speaker 3: my favorite, Batch Gradkowski, long term backup, tough guy.

886
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 2: People love him, you know, played in a lot of

887
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: different systems and yeah, success doing it. No, he and hey,

888
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 2: if that's what the guys on the team are calling

889
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 2: for right now too, if Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Junior,

890
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: that's the guy they right, they know, they they absolutely know.

891
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 3: Now, this doesn't mean Kyler's career with the Cardinals is over,

892
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 3: but it's a bit of an inkling.

893
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: It certainly could be the beginning of the end. Yeah, certainly,

894
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 2: could be the beginning of the end.

895
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 3: But much like the Steelers, Let's say you're the Cardinals

896
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 3: and you're in the quarterback market and you end up

897
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 3: with seventeenth pick and you don't have another first you

898
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 3: may not have the option to get this right six

899
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 3: or outfield. The bid the rams for a guy totally right.

900
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 3: It's real easy to say I almost get a guy

901
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 3: next year. Will you know? More on that tomorrow, More

902
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 3: on that tomorrow.

903
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 2: We will have a beefy around campus segment tomorrow. As

904
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: I think some things about this twenty twenty six college

905
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 2: quarterback NFL draft class are starting to become more clear

906
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 2: and clear, clearer and clearer, yeah, crystal clear whatever, something

907
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 2: along those lines. A couple names that we need to

908
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 2: subtract from that list, a couple names we need to

909
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: add to that list. We'll do that tomorrow. We'll talk

910
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 2: to Chris Hallick. Yeah, start to look ahead to the

911
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 2: Chargers a little bit.

912
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 3: It's a weird day for guests for us because everyone's

913
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 3: kind of.

914
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 2: Crunching the crunching the deadline, which we understand they've got

915
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 2: their jobs to do as well too. But we will

916
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 2: get back to some of our guests tomorrow. Also, Matt

917
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 2: funties for you for tomorrow. I was thinking about what

918
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:01,959
Speaker 2: to do for the Best of the West this week.

919
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 2: We're going to Sofi Stadium this weekend for my money,

920
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,479
Speaker 2: my favorite stadium in the National Football League.

921
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 3: That's funny you say that on the Best of.

922
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 2: The West tomorrow. I will tell you my top ten

923
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 2: favorite stadiums I've ever been to. Very cool, how about that.

924
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 3: So we were just talking about like TV with the

925
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 3: wife and all that, and my wife's usually like on

926
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 3: the couch next to me whenever Monday Football comes on

927
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 3: or whatever. And the only stadium I ever be like,

928
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 3: check the stadium out it is that one. It's like,

929
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 3: this was so cool, and she's like that looks awesome.

930
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: It's incredible football, right, it's incredible. I had some time

931
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 2: to kill today, so I actually put my list together
