Speaker 3: It will be our last hour for almost a week

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 3: from Studio proper, as we'll be jetting off to Phoenix,

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,159

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 3: the first half of the week, we'll be doing our

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: shows from Arizona, bonus hour two three hour shows.

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: Hopefully we'll have some fun guests the owners meetings, moving

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: and shaking all of that. Yeah, who knows we were

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: We were even joking with TV. Maybe we'll get some

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: Marion Rodgers news that'll blow our doors off and be

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: and be great for the content on.

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 4: His name comes up.

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: I would be shocked if.

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: It didn't, especially considering it'll be Mike McCarthy's first foray

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: of doing this as the Steelers head coach. So, Matt,

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 3: we have three third round picks here to close down

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: this exercise, and uh yeah.

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 4: We're kind of talking off the air too, like you

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 4: gotta be done at receiver yesh two.

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 3: And let's and I know that most of you listened

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: to the podcast through and all that, but for some

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: of those who might have missed, or if you're listening

32
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: on the live stream, we made a couple of trades.

33
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: We traded down to pick twenty nine, got Maxie and

34
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: Hre the offensive lineman out of Arizona State. With that,

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: we got an extra second round pick, so we picked

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 3: at fifty three and fifty eight in the second round,

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: which I love. We also got an extra third round

38
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: pick for twenty twenty seven, which doesn't affect this exercise,

39
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: but gives us extra capital and hopefully the pursuit of

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: a quarterback next year. So at fifty three and fifty

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: eight we doubled up on wide receivers Ted Hurst and

42
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: Elijah Surratt.

43
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: And I would I sign up for this right now?

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 2: And we still have our three third round picks to

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: make here as well.

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I wanted to get to that. I mean, okay,

47
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind a pure guard, you know, and you

48
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 4: know me, I'm always gonna be like, throw me an

49
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: extra lineman mix. I'll get greedy there at some point

50
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: that folks say are going to draft a tight end,

51
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: I can't imagine being the third round.

52
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: Agreed.

53
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 4: I think at some point they still probably draft a

54
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 4: running running back, not in the third day.

55
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: Three.

56
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd lean towards not drafting a quarterback at all.

57
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: Same, I'm going more and more that direction unless it's

58
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: the sixth round. Yeah, yeah, Nusts is still there or something.

59
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, at the end of the draft, different story than

60
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 4: at least our conversation, I would think a safety probably

61
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 4: should be amongst the top priorities at this point. I

62
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: would agree, maybe over the course of the rest of

63
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: the draft you draft two defensive backs, a safety and

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 4: nickel or an outside corner. That's a project. I got

65
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 4: no problem with the linebacker.

66
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: Got no problem with the linebacker.

67
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: I got no problem with the linemen either. Same, But

68
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, none of those I mean, safety

69
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: is one I think you have to take. It doesn't

70
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: have to be this pick or anything of that nature.

71
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 3: But that's the only one that I would say of

72
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: these three picks, we better come away with a safety.

73
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 4: I would think so too. I think one of these

74
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 4: three picks should be a safety. Now. I know we're

75
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: not going to do this because we're gonna you know,

76
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: perpentually trades with the whole league. But if you could

77
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 4: give me a next year second for any of these

78
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: picks right now from any team, I would do that too,

79
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: even with the next year third that we picked up

80
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: sold Like I mean, think about it. I mean hypothetical,

81
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: you're gonna.

82
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: Have your first, which is funny, Baltimore's offering us their

83
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: third round pick from next year for this pick right now,

84
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: which I do.

85
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: I'm about to do a third for a third.

86
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: For next year. Well yeah, but we also were not

87
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: trained with the vision. It's invalid.

88
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 4: So I meant, I know that it's not gonna work

89
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 4: out this way. But if we ended up with the players,

90
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: we have two thirds next year Chiefs and Steelers, two

91
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: seconds Steelers, and whoever offers us one for this next pick,

92
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 4: we still get two more picks this day. Oh, by

93
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 4: the way, you might trade Mike Tomlin for a first

94
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: round pick.

95
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: Still on the cards, still on the table.

96
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: And you could enter one of what people think are

97
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 4: one of the best drafts in the league. With two first,

98
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 4: two seconds, two thirds or something along those lines. You know, like,

99
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: that's not that crazy.

100
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: Sign up for that, right now, yeah, right, right right?

101
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: So round three underway here the Saints leading off. This

102
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: was from the Cardinals pick that was up that they

103
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: used to trade up for Ty Simpson.

104
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: They take Jack Galladay, linebacker out of Cincinnati. Titans take

105
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: cash as how sixty six overall edge from A and M.

106
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: Skyler Bell goes off the board sixty seven to the Raiders. Second,

107
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: I think maybe just second or third tight end that's

108
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 3: gone off the board here, justin jolly for NC State.

109
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: For the Eagles, Jenarian Price, the other Notre Dame running back,

110
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: goes off the board to the Texans. Brown's on the clock.

111
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 3: At picked seventy take Parker Brailsford the center from Bayama

112
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: role Todd Rowl And as I like to joke the Commanders,

113
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: wouldn't this be fitting if our former president R. Mason

114
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: Thomas ended up in the nation's capital as he does

115
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: here at pick seventy one. As Matt always says, it's

116
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: just R doesn't stand for anything. His first name is

117
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: just aw R. And doesn't that sound like the most

118
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: George Washington thing you've ever arrow? Thing you've ever heard,

119
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 3: Abraham Lincoln Taft, some of these other old time presidents.

120
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 3: Seventy two the Bengals on or the Ravens on the

121
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: clock part of me. They trade up here to draft

122
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 3: Jennings Dunker, the guard out of Iowa. The Ravens do okay,

123
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: even been av interest, he would have been seventy two.

124
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: The Saints back on the clock. They take another there's

125
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: another center goes off the board here, Connor lou out

126
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: of Auburn.

127
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: Good Senators can go all day long.

128
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: This man just two picks away. This would have been

129
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: interesting if he would have lasted to seventy six. Emitt Johnson,

130
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: the running back from Nebraska, goes to the Chiefs.

131
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 4: A good year.

132
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: It's seventy four.

133
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.

134
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: And then another guy we might have been interested in,

135
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: Kayln Rutledge, the guard from George.

136
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 4: He was kind of one. I was kind of hoping

137
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 4: for good athlete. I think he would fit.

138
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: Goes seventy fifth to the Dolphins right before were on

139
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: the clock. Man so biggest highest ranked on the big board,

140
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 2: still available. Caleb Banks is still available.

141
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 4: I was about to throw that out. This might be

142
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 4: I think he's got to do it.

143
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: I think so too, because the safety's Kamari Ramsey, Lewis Moore.

144
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, there's some questions about Banks. He's

145
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 4: a bad tackler, he's got a broken foot, there's some effort,

146
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: things that aren't always great. But at this price for

147
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 4: what he brings to the table, and say, hey, Cam,

148
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 4: here's your project. Whip this guy into shape with the

149
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 4: other young pops.

150
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: And it'd be different. I think if there was somebody

151
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 3: that much of him, I think it'd be different. There

152
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 3: was somebody else that we loved here too. But right,

153
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 3: and you're back on the clock.

154
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is like your bonus prize for trading down.

155
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 4: I get to roll the dice on. Let's do it

156
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: the most most talented defensive tack.

157
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: He ended up being the best defensive lineman out of

158
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: this draft.

159
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, he absolutely can.

160
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 2: Can you get him with your fourth pick?

161
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Harmon and Benton and all these guys are gonna

162
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: be ahead of on the depth chart. He's gonna have

163
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: to earn his way to get playing time.

164
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: I love it.

165
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: Let's take Caleb Banks. That'll make Max Starks go, yeah, yeah, chump,

166
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: I'm actually well, I would assume we'll get Max to

167
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: come on with us at some point. I'm sure we

168
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: got to talk to him about Kayleb Banks for sure.

169
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 4: Yeah. One asked m about Max from Arizona State too,

170
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 4: neck of the wood.

171
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 3: That's absolutely right. So let's lock it in pick seventy six.

172
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 3: After going with three straight offensive picks, we go to

173
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball and we take one,

174
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: an easy one at this point, at this juncture, at

175
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: pick seventy seven, the Bucks take Josiah Trotter, linebacker. That

176
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: would mean Matt to two picks in the top seventy

177
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 3: seven of former defensive Mountaineers who left for greener pass.

178
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: Can't say, can't say I blame him, but man, it

179
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: would be nice to It would have been nice to

180
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: still have them in the old Golden Blue.

181
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: Danny Dennis Sutton, the edge rusher from Penn State, goes

182
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: to the Bears. Back to back Ninney Lions drafted here.

183
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: Drew Shelton, the Penn State tackle, goes seventy nine to

184
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: Atlanta Packers. On the clock, they take Julian Neil, the

185
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: corner out of Arkansas, and at pick eighty one, Big

186
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: Citrus Dominique Orange. It goes to the What would kind

187
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 3: of kind of be fitting for Big Citrus to end

188
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: up in Florida Jacksonville there at pick eighty one. Joshua

189
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 3: Joseph's edge rusher from Tennessee goes to the Vikings at

190
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: seventy two. Oh man, I was hoping he would last.

191
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: Kamari Ramsey, the safety from USC. Yeah, he three to

192
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 3: the Panthers, and the Bengals make a trade here to

193
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: pick eighty four to take Deontay Laws in linebacker from Alabama. Okay, so, Matt,

194
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: here's what we're working with. Still on the big board.

195
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 3: I mean, Grayson Houghton, I don't think we're double dipping

196
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: on defense.

197
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 4: I don't think it'd even have a roster spot for him.

198
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: I mean, there's still a lot of big name tight

199
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: ends available. Eli Stower's is still there, Michael Trigg is

200
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 3: still there, Oscar Delp is still there.

201
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 4: Delp's really exciting. All those names are enticing. But I

202
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 4: just think it's a little early.

203
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: For I want you want to talk safeties here.

204
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 4: Lease, these linebackers guards, Okay, to me, seemed like the

205
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 4: spots of most need safeties.

206
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: Lewis Moore out of Indiana. We do.

207
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 4: Lewis Moore is unbelievably interesting. He's really really good. But

208
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: I think he's twenty six or twenty five, Like he's

209
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 4: unusually old. Okay, but he's.

210
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he started college in twenty nineteen. Gow that

211
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: was before COVID.

212
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 4: I mean, he was an integral part for them. But

213
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if you want to take your third

214
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 4: safety developmental safety to be that old for this team.

215
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: That's pretty old.

216
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 4: But he was really good for the national title team.

217
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: Jalen Kilgore still there, Bud Clark's still there, is the

218
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 2: key Wheatley is still there.

219
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 4: I like go three of those names. I do too,

220
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 4: that'd be fine.

221
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 3: Do you have a preference out of those four? Probably Clark,

222
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 3: he's got some speed.

223
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say Clark. But okay, that's that's something

224
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: to think. We must be picking again really soon.

225
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: We are picking again in yes, uh, fourteen picks.

226
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, a little longer.

227
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: So this is pick eighty five. We're back on the

228
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: clock at pick ninety nine.

229
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: Ninety nine, all right, so.

230
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: That's the safetyse linebackers still available. Aiden Fisher out of

231
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: Indiana Harold Perkins, who we've discussed out of LSU.

232
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: Matt. Kyle Lewis is still on the board here as well.

233
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 4: I don't think he's a real linebacker though, if you're

234
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 4: looking for, like Queen's the only thing.

235
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we hadn't taken Caleb Banks a few picks ago,

236
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: I might say, let's take Kyle Lewis here and ro Yeah, yeah, yeah,

237
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 2: but I don't know if I want two guys with now.

238
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: To be fair to Lewis, it's not injury and stuff

239
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: like that, but it's just where does he fit?

240
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 4: What do we do with them?

241
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: Right?

242
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: Really gonna get your hands on and see what you

243
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 4: can do with them.

244
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 3: Right, But there's still marks there, Yeah, just like different

245
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: different ones, but same church, different pew of of Caleb Banks.

246
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if you can go back to back projects. Yes,

247
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: although man I and again I know you don't hear

248
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: this from a mountain heer very often, but I'm very

249
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: intrigued by by.

250
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got some stuff about him, right.

251
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: And then what was the other one you said, guard right?

252
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: Want to run through let's see.

253
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 4: I think Max would start his career there.

254
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but you could still at this point that, uh,

255
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 3: this guy's name is maybe the toughest to pronounce in

256
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: the draft. The guard out of Oklahoma, Fabecci Way Waiwo.

257
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: I believe it is how he pronounces his last name.

258
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: Cage Casey from Boise State, bo Stevens from Iowa, Jaden

259
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: Roberts from Roll Tide Roll Jalen Farmer from the University

260
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 3: where Matt writes a bunch of tuition checks in Kentucky.

261
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: And Nez Cooper Guard from Miami. Fernando Carmona Junior out

262
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: of Arkansas.

263
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: Okay, nobody's really blowing my scart up. I like the

264
00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 4: safeties better.

265
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 2: I like the safeties as well. I'm thinking Bud.

266
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 4: Clark, Yeah yeah, I think you do it.

267
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: Should we lock it in?

268
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, let's do it.

269
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: I like that.

270
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: Let's take Bud Clark. Let's take a true safety as

271
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: much as I would be very tempted to take Kyle

272
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: lewis there. I am not gonna lie, but let's see

273
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: how this all shakes out. Okay, So at seventy no

274
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: part of me eighty five, we lock in Bud Clark.

275
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: We get our safety out of TCU Oscar Delp tight

276
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 3: End from.

277
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,320

280
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: goes just two picks later to the Bengals, so we'd

281
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: be seeing him in division. Bryce Lance, Trey Lance's younger brother,

282
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: wide receiver out of North Dakota State, goes to the Jags.

Speaker 3: the way, the amount of duh Pope T shirts that

285
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,040

Speaker 2: Cowboys.

293
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 4: He's exciting, he's a big play threat man.

294
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 3: And you know what, it's funny, yes, and he's flying

295
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: under the radar. I don't know if it's just because

296
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 3: he went to Wake or whatever, but he's a home

297
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: run hitter.

298
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 4: He'd be different than what the Steelers have in the back. Yes,

299
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 4: you're looking for explosives. He definitely generates that.

300
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 3: Cowboys with back to back picks here due to one

301
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,400

Speaker 4: It's late for Branch, not that we were really in

313
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,640

00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: is going to be our last one of this exercise.

316
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: A reminder, we have taken Maxi and Hure. We traded

317
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 3: back a couple of times, picked up a lot of

318
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: extra capital. Still got mad Max at twenty nine. Then

319
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: at fifty three and fifty eight with our extra second

320
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: round pick, we double up on wide receivers. We're eating

321
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 3: greedy over here, Matt Williamson ted Hurst from Georgia State

322
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: and Elijah Serrat from Indiana. Then we go Caleb Banks so.

323
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 4: Quick on those receivers. Sarratt is really far advanced in

324
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 4: terms of like technical route running, the intricacies of the

325
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 4: position displayed for a national title. We take the other

326
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 4: guy is more talented, but he comes from a super

327
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 4: small school. You think his adjustment is learning curves would

328
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 4: be a lot greater. So I really like the combination

329
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 4: of those two. I mean not only do I like

330
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: the players in a bubble, but the matching of the

331
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: two I think fits pretty well too.

332
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: I love it. And then it picked seventy six. He

333
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: still on the board.

334
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: We take a swing on Caleb Banks, the talented but

335
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 3: question marked defensive tackle out of Florida, and then at

336
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 3: eighty five Bud Clark, we get our safety out of

337
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 3: TCU picked ninety nine, back on the clock and Matt,

338
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: we've got some options. Man Malik Muhammad, the corner from Texas,

339
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 3: is still there.

340
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a good player. I mean that's you. Never

341
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: turn your nose up at a corner.

342
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: Never turn your nose up at a value position with

343
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 3: somebody who who might you know, be surprised that.

344
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: He's still there.

345
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing.

346
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: Also, Max Claire and Michael Trigg, two talented tight ends,

347
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: are both still on the board. Okay, any other position

348
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: you want to see running.

349
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 4: Back, I'm just curious who best available is?

350
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: Okay, best available in general, Malik Mohammad, Max Clair to

351
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: Carrio Davis, the corner out of Washington.

352
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: He was in for a visit. He's the project long fast.

353
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: Jalen kilgorel that we just took a safety and I

354
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: don't think we'll double up. Brian Parker the second, the

355
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: center from Duke. We're not going center. Michael Trigg, who

356
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: I think is just a freak.

357
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

358
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: Brandon Thompson wide receiver from Mississippi State, Isaiah World tackle

359
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: from Oregon, Austin Barber tackle from Florida.

360
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: That looks like it's it.

361
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: For the you know, kind of the the big names,

362
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: if you will. Za Key Wheatley is still there, Kyle

363
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 3: Lewis is still there, Malachi Fields is still there. Seth

364
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: mcgallan the running back from Kentucky. Still there, Kaylon Black,

365
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: the running back from Bama's still there. The other Penn

366
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: State guy, Nicholas Singleton running back, still there.

367
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 4: Anybody jumping out at you, We've.

368
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: Got some options here. I might consider Kyle Lewis here.

369
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 4: Say linebacker doesn't break my heart. I don't know if

370
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 4: he's a linebacker or not.

371
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: I would probably lean there or one of the tight

372
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: ends at this point because I think getting Max Player

373
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 3: or Michael Trigg here would be would be pretty good value.

374
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: I think I like the tight ends better, same as

375
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: prospects say, it's not really much of a need, but

376
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 4: I mean they're good players.

377
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 2: Good players.

378
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think both those guys coincidentally, they're best

379
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 4: football's ahead of them completely. Claire, as always happens at

380
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 4: Ohio State, gets overshadowed by the receivers. Triggs has got

381
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 4: a ton of ability. Claire actually was mostly a baseball

382
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 4: player for a lot of my life, and you're kind

383
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 4: of new to it as well. I like both those guys.

384
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 4: I do too, your pick. I know Triggs one of

385
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 4: your guys.

386
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: He is, but I've been warming up to Claire. Yeah, yeah,

387
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: I really have.

388
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 3: And there's less off the field question marks with Maxwell.

389
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,439
Speaker 3: Definitely is Michael Trigg, I think, and this is, you know,

390
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: like we just had this conversation with wide receivers with

391
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: Hurst and Surrat.

392
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: I think Claire has the higher floor. Trig has the

393
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: higher ceiling.

394
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 4: Probably probably, And Claire's not bad in terms of.

395
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: Seating, No, No, definitely not in terms of what you

396
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: already have in the room too. I think I'd be

397
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: comfortable going with Max Claire because I think you'll find

398
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 2: a way. Absolutely, I think you'll find a way to

399
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: use him and get him on the field.

400
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 4: So I don't know how this would even fit in

401
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 4: because I think Washington will get a long term extension

402
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: and I really hope he does. I don't want him

403
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 4: to go anywhere in a long time, and they are

404
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 4: going to play less two and three tight end sets.

405
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: But could Friar moveth be trade bait in a year

406
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 4: or in the offseason Washington has a great year and

407
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 4: Claire super impressive or whatever. I don't know. Just we

408
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 4: need this many picks. It's just draft good FOOTBA.

409
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: Player, draft good football payer.

410
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

411
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: Right now, I think the two best available unless we

412
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: go Malik Muhammad would be the two tight ends. Yeah,

413
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: we've gone so far, three offensive players, two defensive players.

414
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 4: That's fine. I think it'll be a little bit heavier

415
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 4: offensive draft.

416
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 3: Too, I wouldn't he I'm good with taking Max Claire here.

417
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: If that works with you, let's do it. Let's lock

418
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 3: it in. So there is our haul for this Friday

419
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 3: edition of the Weekly Mock Draft.

420
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: We make a couple of trades.

421
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 3: We pick up an extra second rounder this year, we

422
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: pick up an extra third rounder next year. We come

423
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: away with Maxie and Hure ted Hurst, Elijah Surat, Caleb Banks,

424
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 3: Bud Clark, and Max Claire.

425
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 4: And don't forget folks. So I don't know if we

426
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 4: mentioned these exact words enough, but the Steelers have the

427
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 4: most picks in this entire draft of any team. So

428
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 4: you would leave with this haul on Friday night, return

429
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 4: to your abode. Shit had two fourths and other stuff too. Like,

430
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 4: after a while, it gets hard to put these, you know,

431
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 4: find spots for them all. Yes, it does, which is

432
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 4: a wonderful problem to have.

433
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: That's a very.

434
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 3: Good problem to have, certainly is let's take our first

435
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 3: break of hour number two.

436

00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 4: I forget what podcast I was listening to about previewing

473
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 4: just this quarterback class, and they kind of had this conversation,

474
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 4: and I liked one of the host's answers. They said,

475
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 4: do everything fast and kind of quick, but don't hurry,

476
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, like quick processor quick. I mean,

477
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: the game just happened so fast that I think that, Like,

478
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 4: that's my problem with Drew Awler. Everything's slow and deliberate,

479
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 4: you know, like people be like, well, Brady didn't do

480
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 4: it fast, he did I mean, everything pre snap was fast.

481
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 4: Everything post snap was fast. Even though he wasn't a

482
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 4: great runner, watch him move in the pocket. All his

483
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 4: movements are sudden and fast and quick and abrupt. That

484
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 4: might be number one something I talk about a lot.

485
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 4: And everyone's always like, well, this guy's a Jim Ratt,

486
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 4: you know, first one in the building, last one to leave,

487
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 4: you know, the hardest working guy on the Florida Gators

488
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 4: or Florida State or whatever. And to me, that only

489
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 4: gets you in the door. Yes, Like okay, now you

490
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 4: can be considered, yes, because this position is so hard.

491
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 4: If you don't have that good luck, you're not gonna

492
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 4: make it, you know what I mean, that's just that.

493
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 4: Just let you sit at the poker table. That's the ante,

494
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 4: you know, that's just that's all you.

495
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: That's a buying.

496
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 4: That's your buying. You're allowed to play with everybody now

497
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 4: and at least be in the conversation. So that almost

498
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 4: to me, goes without saying.

499
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 3: That is the Always one of the biggest red flags

500
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 3: to me is when someone's like, what do you like

501
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 3: about this guy?

502
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 2: He's such a hard worker, nobody's as prepared as he is.

503
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 4: Like, well, the guys he's going to play against on Sunday.

504
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 4: Are just as prepared, if not more.

505
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 2: Exactly right, I don't have to go to class and

506
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: do all these other things. They're professional football players.

507
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 4: And then they go home and study tape and then

508
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 4: they spend a million dollars on their body and coaches

509
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 4: and everything.

510
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, personal trainers and quarterback coaches and yeah.

511
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 4: Now, I will say that position is probably the hardest

512
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: to answer of all because you need all of them. Yeah,

513
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 4: you could be short on one or two, or you know,

514
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 4: lackluster on one or two, but to rank them all

515
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 4: is pretty tough. But I like the answer I heard

516
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 4: recently about do everything fast, you know, think fast, act fast,

517
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 4: move that fast, yeah, fast release. I like it.

518
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 2: I want to go fast. I want to go fast.

519
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: I want to go fast. Ricky Bobby Joe tweets and

520
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 2: said that is.

521
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 4: One something hy Simpson does. Yeah, he's a quick processor reliever,

522
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 4: you know guy.

523
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, his dad was a one double a head coach

524
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: for twenty years. I mean you'd think he has a

525
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: high football IQ and yeah, yeah that makes a lot

526
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 3: of sense.

527
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 4: And his movements are sudden, ball comes out pretty quick.

528
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: You.

529
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 4: I mean, he does do things fast.

530
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 3: Joe tweets us and says, it feels to me like

531
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 3: the only other viable choice besides Aaron Rodgers is Jimmy Garoppolo.

532
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 3: He's a name that isn't ever really discussed though. What

533
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 3: do you guys think?

534
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 4: I don't like that at all?

535
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.

536
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: If it's not Aaron Rodgers, I don't want the Kirk

537
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 3: Cousins Jimmy g I.

538
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 4: Was gonna say the opposite. I mean, I think you settle,

539
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 4: you'd rather have cousins, cousins. Jimmy's just a back, He's.

540
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: Just below to me. To me, is how I feel

541
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: versus the Godfather?

542
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

543
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: I think is those around you think. If it's not

544
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: gonna be Aaron Rodgers, I would rather eat my vegetables

545
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 2: for a year.

546
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: And I know that that's not how to steal operate

547
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 3: and that's not how the Steelers do business. So it

548
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 3: probably would be a Kirk Cousins or a Derek Carr

549
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 3: or Jimmy Garoppolo. Yeah, but Aaron Rodgers is the only

550
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: one from that crop that I look at and go, Okay,

551
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: you could win the division again, and with a better roster,

552
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 3: maybe you want to playoff game with those other guys.

553
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 2: I just I don't see it.

554
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 4: I hear what you're saying, and people were just like,

555
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 4: put Will Howard in. He might be awesome. I haven't

556
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 4: even seen him play a professional.

557
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 2: I would start the season with Mason Rudolph.

558
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 4: Yeactly.

559
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 2: But yeah, I get what.

560
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 4: You're saying, And there is an argument for that approach

561
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 4: if Rogers like I'm retired, I'm done, you know, And

562
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: what does cousins or car get you? Not much?

563
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 2: Nine wins?

564
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 4: Not much? I mean more of the same. Probably. I'm

565
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 4: not sure Rogers is a whole lot different than that

566
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 4: at this point, but at least there's bouts of being

567
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 4: MVPs and things of that nature in his past. Now,

568
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 4: if you were to take that approach, I probably then

569
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 4: would be like what if you trade for Anthony Richardson? Yeah,

570
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 4: I mean one of those like reclamation projects. I'm not

571
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 4: big on Will Levis, but like, I mean, somebody like that.

572
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: We've got a tweet from somebody asking us about Will Levis.

573
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 2: Who was it? It was?

574
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 3: Chef Plumb asked us about Will Levis if we have

575
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 3: any interest in, you know, getting him on a cheap

576
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 3: old deal. Not really those ones Anthony Richardson would be

577
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: the one that I would Yeah.

578
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 4: I mean it was fourth pick in the draft, and

579
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 4: I mean there's ability there, yea, yeah, yeah, and I

580
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 4: would at least want to take one of those bites.

581
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 4: As for Levis, it's too early to say he stinks

582
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 4: forget about him. I mean, he was the first second

583
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 4: pick in the draft or second pick in the second round,

584
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 4: right after Joey Porter Jr. He looked really bad since

585
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 4: he was here. But he's also sort of the Drew

586
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 4: Aller poster boy of doesn't do anything fast. I mean,

587
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 4: he's a lumberer. He's not a bad athlete, but he

588
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 4: nothing's quick twitch about him. He doesn't think quick.

589
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: He's got a good arm, but not great arm.

590
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 4: And he might go somewhere and totally might reclaim his career.

591
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 4: I'm not writing that off, but they'd have to be

592
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 4: the right guy for the Steelers to approach that stuff

593
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 4: because there's not much room. And wouldn't you rather just

594
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 4: draft nuts in the third round?

595
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: Do that? Yeah? Right, right right? You know, if you're

596
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: gonna do that, one of our regulars, Smooth Dave, says,

597
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: can you take me to the school of Matt Williamson?

598
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 2: I understand the lines are blurred in the modern NFL,

599
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: but can you give me a quick primer explain the

600
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: differences between slot corner, nickel corner, star position, box, safety,

601
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 2: dime linebacker.

602
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 4: I think basically slot.

603
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 2: Corner, nickel corner are the same thing.

604
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 4: Unless you just want to say the fifth guy off

605
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 4: the bench is the nickel because it's now five.

606
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 3: It's it's the it's the Brandon Eckles role, it's the

607
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: Mike Yeah role, Feeney Bishop role. I'm trying to think

608
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: of all the guys that have played that recently, what

609
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 3: we think Jalen Ramsey is going to do this year.

610
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 4: I mean, technically the fifth guy in he could be

611
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 4: That's where you get the term nickel from. Yeah, I mean,

612
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 4: he could be little, he could be big, whatever. And

613
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 4: usually that's gonna be a slot because there's not really

614
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 4: a slot that exists anyway. What were the other one.

615
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: Star, position, box, safety, dime linebacker.

616
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 4: They're all pretty darn close. I mean it really a

617
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 4: lot of it just comes down to what the teams

618
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 4: call you. Star is also five star, five points of

619
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 4: a star.

620
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: Some call it spear, don't they too.

621
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 4: Maybe, especially that we start to get into college terminology too.

622
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 3: You'll find YZ with wide receiver. Yeah, I mean, it's

623
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 3: just different ways of labeling things.

624
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: Like Ramsey when he was a ram was their star.

625
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 4: It's what they called him. He played a lot. It's

626
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 4: not much different though than a big nickel or what

627
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 4: he's doing here. It's near the line of scrimmage. Strong

628
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 4: safety is a little different. That's old school. Donnie Shell's

629
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 4: a strong, Mike Wagner's.

630
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: A free Ryan clar.

631
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: Earl Thomas is the free camp champions, you know, like

632
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 4: a lot different than the other type of safety. But

633
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: dime linebacker is also. I have six defensive backs on

634
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 4: the field, I probably have four defensive linemen. That leaves

635
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 4: one guy and that's your dime linebacker, you know. So

636
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 4: for the Steelers that's Queen. You know, he never leaves

637
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 4: the field. I mean that just means he's in on

638
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 4: the dime package. Now, someone might look at like Kyle

639
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 4: Lewis and be like, he's an ideal dime because it's

640
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 4: third and twelve.

641
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: And he can run downfield and get.

642
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 4: A lots linebacker experience. He's seen the game from a

643
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 4: linebacker's perspective. He's seen guards double team people in front

644
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 4: of him, blah blah blah. But he if he gives up,

645
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 4: you know something, in the run game, it's still third

646
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 4: and twelve. Will gang tackle and get there? You know?

647
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 4: So the reality is there's a lot of overlap in

648
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 4: all those terms.

649
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's all just what language or defensive coordinator

650
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 3: wants to speak a lot of it. Yeah, It's like

651
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 3: yes means the same as C. It's just a different

652
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 3: way to say it, a different line.

653
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, you know.

654
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: See that's yes in Spanish. For those of you unfamiliar,

655
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: Lou tweets us and says love the show Boys. Well,

656
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: thank you, Lou.

657
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: The question I have is why does Penn State count

658
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: as a local visit when it is way out of

659
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: the fifty mile radius hashtag H two P.

660
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 4: I think it's only if you're from here.

661
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: I'm I'm just I'm just glad that he didn't He

662
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: didn't say wvu he pointed out Penn State in that regard.

663
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 4: I don't think every Penn State is free again, I

664
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 4: don't are they have them all here? I think it's

665
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 4: where you grew up. If you grew up in nearby

666
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: and happen to go to Penn.

667
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: State Joey Porter Junior.

668
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's what it is. I

669
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 4: think I think a local visit is either your college

670
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 4: is in the radius or.

671
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 3: But like but then wvew's outside of that fifty mile radius.

672
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 3: It's not by much, and maybe there's an exception. But

673
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: like Zach Fraser counted as a local visit.

674
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure, I think.

675
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 3: And that's like seventy miles, yeah, I mean sixty some miles.

676
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: It's just outside of that fifty miles.

677
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 4: You know that he was a local. I think Emma

678
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 4: was put positive he was too. I think they're kind

679
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 4: of flexible with the rules.

680
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 3: I think there's a little Okay, it's fifty miles, but

681
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: if the guys sixty two will count.

682
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't know how strict they are like that.

683
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 4: Don't know what they put a fence up. You know

684
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: that you had to be born in this area or

685
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 4: from this area. Let's see, just because you went to

686
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 4: Penn State, I know that doesn't count. Or they would

687
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 4: have all or they'd have them all here. I mean

688
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 4: at Penn State is so many of them. Why wouldn't

689
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 4: you have guys every year?

690
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 3: So Zach Frasier was logal to fall under the local

691
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 3: visit category.

692
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 4: And some of his information is not always one hundred

693
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 4: percent easy to find.

694
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: He did top thirty visits with the Bears, the Lions,

695
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 3: the Bengals, the Cowboys, the Bucks, the Chargers, and the Dolphins.

696
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 4: It's a lot of moving around.

697
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 3: Maybe this is something we can I know it might

698
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: not be high on the priory. That is a lot

699
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: of moving around. I know it might not be high

700
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 3: on the priority list. But maybe this is something we

701
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 3: can try and find a more dedicated answer to. Next

702
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 3: week we're around some more of the uh.

703
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if they knows the answer either. I

704
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 4: just know that just because you went to Penn State

705
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 4: doesn't mean you count okay, because then they have everyone.

706
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a good point. Bring them all in, why.

707
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: Not, right, if they're all free, I'd bring in every

708
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 4: Penn State draft BOL player every year, and they don't.

709
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 2: And all of them.

710
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,239
Speaker 3: Yeah that's true, But then wouldn't you do the same

711
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 3: thing for pitt And I don't think they necessarily do.

712
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 4: I think they do, do they?

713
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 2: And they it might not even be reported. Yeah that's

714
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: a good call, that's a good point.

715
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's get to them.

716
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 3: I'm just glad. I'm just glad Lou left WVU out

717
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 3: of the fight. I'm just glad you keep keep the keystone.

718
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: Uh right, yeah.

719
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 4: I mean there are at all the small schools, they

720
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 4: just don't have many guys, you know, right.

721
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's that's interesting. That's something I would like

722
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 3: to know the exact parameters on, but maybe there's not exactly. Yeah,

723
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: I think it's maybe it's kind.

724
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: Of loosely enforced based off interesting.

725

748
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 4: Of here today.

749
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 2: Let's see here, another one of our regulars, t Mac

750
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: tweets and says a lot of talk about Venga and

751
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 2: a little bit about pregnant, But can you offer some

752
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 2: other names that you like at the guard position outside

753
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 2: of those two?

754
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 4: We talked about this a lot in the mock.

755
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 3: This is really I really like him out of A

756
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: and M. I really like Rutledge out of Georgia.

757
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 4: Say that's my next That's one of my absolute favorites.

758
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 2: Yep.

759
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: Farmer out of Kentucky, I think desires to be in

760
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 3: that conversation.

761
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: I think those are the probably the biggest names.

762
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 4: I would say, I'm sure there's a couple of tackles.

763
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to say the guys the fawn News, the

764
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 2: Maxie and h or you might see doing a little

765
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: the Caden Procters.

766
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 4: Now those guys are expensive, though, yes they are. See,

767
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 4: the problem is, and this happens every year at this position,

768
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 4: and there's just not as many names. If you told me,

769
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 4: tell you the tight ends, you'd be happy drafting. Well,

770
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 4: here's fifteen names, you know, especially this year at this position,

771
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 4: they're just not as many. And that's why another one

772
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 4: of the many reasons why I think round one I

773
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 4: would break all times for O line. Yeah, it's it's

774
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 4: just a shortage situation. It's supplying to man.

775
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: Exactly right, exactly right. Frankie tweets us and says, when

776
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: do you know you found your franchise quarterback? Is it

777
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 2: a fourth quarter comeback? Is it hit when he makes

778
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: a certain number of starts? Is it when he hits

779
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: a certain stat line? When do you know? That's a

780
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 2: good question, that's.

781
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 4: A great question, but it's a hard one to answer.

782
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 2: It's kind of like falling in love.

783
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 4: Matt Williamson, That's exactly what as I say, like when

784
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 4: you know, you know, you know, you know all right,

785
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 4: right right, I I was gonna say the same thing,

786
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 4: but then you beat me to it. But then I thought, well,

787
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 4: Houston thought they knew with Shroud, you know what I mean.

788
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, it's like, well we

789
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 4: got to pay him now.

790
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: Drag May stumbles out of the gate. Next year, they

791
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 2: might be saying the same thing in New England, like.

792
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 4: I don't think Washington's worried about Jaden Daniels North should

793
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 4: they be? But one bad year and all of a sudden,

794
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 4: you don't know.

795
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know what I think.

796
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 4: It's definitely not like one comeback. No.

797
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, this made me think of the I know I've

798
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 3: told you this before, the motesism, Like Arthur Mots would

799
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: always say, you never crown a guy off a one year.

800
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 3: There's been a lot of guys in this league that

801
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 3: can have a great You could have a great couple

802
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 3: of games, you could have a great year. But the

803
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 3: truly great ones do it year after year after year, and.

804
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: Then everybody figures out, everyone figures out what they do well,

805
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 2: and they adapt and evolve their game, and they start

806
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 2: doing other things better to make them harder to defend

807
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 2: or prepare for all that.

808
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 3: I think that is the easiest answer is when they

809
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 3: start stacking successful years.

810
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 4: So, like two examples came to mind while you were chatting,

811
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 4: Like Mahomes, they trade a for him. They loved them

812
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 4: on draft day, but he didn't play a football game

813
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 4: until Week eight teen when they rested Alex the.

814
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 2: Very last game of the regular season.

815
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, but all indications were as he was, like just

816
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 4: watch him in practice, being around him every day. They

817
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 4: were real comfortable trade Alex Smith after the year because

818
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 4: they thought they knew, you know, even only even though

819
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 4: he really didn't do anything. He played a meaningless game.

820
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 4: But I think they were around him enough to be

821
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 4: like we love them at Texas Tech. I think I

822
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 4: love him more being around him now. And then the

823
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 4: other example I wanted to use, but I wish like

824
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 4: they were PURSUITO was sitting here because I was not

825
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 4: close to the Steelers Ben's rookie year, but.

826
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: I bet for the Brands.

827
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and even then I was, you know, it

828
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 4: was ESPN his early years. I wasn't at training camp

829
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 4: and things like that. You know, like him now. But

830
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 4: I bet if you were training camp his rookie year,

831
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 4: you know, Dale would go to pursuit and be like, oh,

832
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, like that afferent? Yeah, like ool,

833
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 4: and then you see it again, and then you see

834
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 4: it again, and then he does it in the preseason

835
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 4: and then he does it in week six or like Okay, yeah,

836
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 4: I think we got our guy.

837
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 2: You know, yes, yes we do.

838
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 3: That's that's a good call too. There's sometimes where you

839
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 3: just in practice everyone's like this looks a little bit.

840
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 4: Different, right, Yeah, I'll tell you that now. I bet

841
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 4: Mahomes was unbelievable in practice that rookie year. Imagine with

842
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 4: scout team and ripping up the first team defense.

843
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 3: Funny fun Like a similar example of that. Back to

844
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 3: my days of working around the athletic department at WVU.

845
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 3: You remember Will Greer obviously still he's still on the

846
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 3: Cowboys practice squad. I think had a nice college career

847
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 3: at Florida and then WVU. He was a third round

848
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers. His first year that he got to WVU

849
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 3: was still when you had to sit out. This was

850
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 3: pre transfer portal. You still had to sit out a

851
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 3: year transferred in the old school rules. We had a

852
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 3: quarterback that year named Skyler Howard who was fine. He

853
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 3: was a fine college quarterback. Never did anything the pros,

854
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 3: but fine college quarterback. We went ten and two that year,

855
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 3: had a really good year. You know, we're ranked, yeah, eleventh, twelve, thirteenth.

856
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 4: I assume career is practicing with the career was the.

857
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: Practice squad quarterback.

858
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, And despite being having a ten and two top

859
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 3: fifteen team all year, all I heard from everybody around

860
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 3: the program was this guy will grow is way better.

861
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 3: Our best play Yeah, our best player is the practice

862
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 3: squad quarterback.

863
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 4: We might be twelve to zero with him.

864
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 2: And that was a ten and two, like get the

865
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: top twenty, top fifteen ranked team. Yeah. So when you

866
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: hear stuff like that, it really I.

867
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 4: Bet read sat the same thing, like Alex smiths per

868
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 4: aren't good, we're twelve and four, but wait till we

869
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 4: roll this game. Yes, and he was likely and I'm

870
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 4: sure saying was true with Lamar. You know, like Lamar,

871
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 4: they remember his rookie year. He'd come in for like

872
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 4: a series or a couple of plays.

873
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: And you've told these stories about Larry before, where you

874
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 2: got you guys were like, you guys were like going

875
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 2: into who was the coach at that time, Like, coach,

876
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 2: throw the ball to Larry.

877
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 4: I said to JD. The wide receivers guyable, I got

878
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 4: to say, the head coach at the time. But we knew,

879
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 4: I mean, like we knew he was a big time recruit.

880
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 4: But it was different whenever he came to like his

881
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 4: first training camp, because we had good receivers, I mean,

882
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 4: Antonio Bryant had just left. We were able to recruit

883
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 4: that position, you know, because he just won the bolittant coff.

884
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 4: We didn't know Larry was going to win the Bolittanikoff.

885
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 4: But Larry gets there as an eighteen year old, and

886
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 4: we knew he was going to be our best recruit

887
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 4: that year, our best new guy. But basically from day

888
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 4: one on the practice field, he was beaten Shantae Spencer,

889
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 4: Tory Cox. Both those guys were drafted for you know,

890
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 4: his corners. You know, they were really good beating Big

891
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 4: East corners and had good NFL careers, you know, and

892
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 4: they were three years older than them. So it was

893
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 4: like he might be our best guy.

894
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 3: Now, you know, I know I've told you this story before,

895
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: but I was told by people around the program when

896
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 3: Zach Fraser was a freshman, Yeah, that guy's showing the seniors.

897
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 2: How it's done.

898
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, when he was a.

899
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: Freshman, they were like, he's the leader in that offensive lineman.

900
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 4: That's how Pounce he was.

901
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 2: I think, yes, yes, when you start hearing stuff like that, that's.

902
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 4: I'll never forget. I did way back then. I did

903
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: the pregame post game show, and he was my coach

904
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 4: at and I think it was Pouncy's.

905
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: First time you can't escape Us Mountain or so.

906
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 4: I think it was the first time Pounce he ever

907
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 4: put a helmet on for the Steelers and actually played

908
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 4: a game. And he's like Crowley asked me, He's like,

909
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 4: how good do you think he is? I'm like, he's

910
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 4: I think he's the best guy on the team. He

911
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 4: just came out of his stance and incredible. Was like,

912
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 4: might be their best guy.

913
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 3: Matthew tweets us and says, uh, how do we feel

914
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 3: about the possibility. Do we believe that the Steelers could

915
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 3: trade up in the first round to get maybe the

916
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 3: third or fourth wide receiver on their big board if

917
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 3: they start getting drafted early. Maybe I wouldn't say fall

918
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 3: if they went from twenty one to seventeen.

919
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think you're going real, real far.

920
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 3: Like they did with Roger Jones that year. I think

921
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 3: that was from what's seventeen to fourteen or something like.

922
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 4: It cost you number ninety nine to do it, So

923
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 4: be it. If you love concepcion or whatever. I would

924
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 4: understand that. Don't get me wrong. I just don't know

925
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 4: that the line of demarcation will be that much different

926
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 4: from sticking or moving up three spots at that position

927
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 4: right now, agreed.

928
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 3: Steeler Nation nine to twenty says thanks for turning me

929
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 3: on to Casey conception own. Wow, phenomenal first. Always seems

930
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 3: to be in the right place at the right time.

931
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:16,720
Speaker 3: Route running is great, body control, keeps his feet, He says.

932
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 3: I know we're not big on the comparisons, but I

933
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 3: can see a little number eighty four Antonio Brown and

934
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 3: that guy Andre tweets us and says, I was a

935
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 3: big Mike Tomlin fan. I wasn't crazy at first about

936
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 3: the hiring of Mike McCarthy, but as I've taken my

937
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 3: I missed Tomlin glasses off and logically, look at all

938
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 3: the additions coaches and players. I'm very optimistic about what's

939
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 3: been done. I'm very optimistic about what's being done to

940
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 3: like the coaching staff that they put together, particularly all

941
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 3: those offensive line coaches on the offensive side of the ball.

942
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 2: I love that, I really do. Let's see here, man.

943
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 4: They may have got the exact same dudes if Tomlin

944
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 4: was still here, but I think they did really well

945
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 4: in free agency roster wise.

946
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Troy tweets us and says, are you guys

947
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 3: going to be at the Dregs? If you are, is

948
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 3: it possible for me to get a picture maybe an

949
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 3: autograph with me and my son in law there at

950
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 3: the event? Love the show, never miss an episode. I

951
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 3: think we will be very unlikely. I think we're gonna be.

952
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 2: At the Steelers facility, kind of in.

953
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 4: Our own bubble where we always are.

954
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 3: But Troy, if you come to training camp, if you're

955
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 3: able ever to get to Saint Vincent Trobe, we would

956
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 3: be happy to take a picture for you.

957
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 2: Sign anything.

958
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: It's still over hilarious to me, but people do ask

959
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 3: us to sound sign terrible towels and things like that.

960
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 2: Hey, if you want us to, I will.

961
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 4: It'll go down in value. But you're willing to welcome

962
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 4: to ya.

963
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 3: But that's the if you want to get autographs. If

964
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 3: you want to get pictures with us, usually training camp

965
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 3: is the best place to do it because other than that,

966
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 3: we're kind of like secluded in our own bubble most

967
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 3: of the time. Yeah, Matt, two random ones, funny ones

968
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 3: to get us out of here for the week. Okay,

969
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 3: Ryan tweets and says, as a fella, fellow music officionado

970
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,479
Speaker 3: and concert gig poster collector, I need to know what's

971
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 3: Wes's most prize poster.

972
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 2: Hanging in the basement. Two. So I have rules for

973
00:43:58,520 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 2: concert memorabilia.

974
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 4: I have a follow up question.

975
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 3: Okay, it either has to be from a show before

976
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 3: I was born, or it has to be a show

977
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 3: I went to.

978
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,959
Speaker 2: Those are my rules. Wow, makes sense.

979
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 4: So I'm hijack just for two seconds. But my co

980
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 4: host Robert Flores with the Football Today podcast in ESPN,

981
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 4: he had these jersey rules, like you can't wear someone

982
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 4: younger than you.

983
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 3: He has a couple of rules like that rule kind

984
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 3: of similar like that, it either has to be from

985
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 3: a show that happened before I.

986
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 2: Was born, or it has to be one that I

987
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: went to.

988
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 3: So the two that I would say is I have

989
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 3: a poster from you remember the Stanley Theater in Oakland, Yes,

990
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 3: in the eighties concert venue. My dad's twenty first birthday,

991
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 3: Wow was January twenty fourth, nineteen eighty six. Was my

992
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 3: dad's twenty first birthday. My dad and I both love.

993
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 3: My dad is a classical music guy, but he loves

994
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 3: Stevie Wonder, He loves the Police, and he loves Stevie

995
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 3: ray Vaughn. Those are his favorite rock and roll wheelhouse.

996
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 3: I have Stevie Rayvaughan on my dad's twenty first birthday

997
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 3: played the Stanley Theater, and I have the concert poster.

998
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 2: Very Stevie Ravon. Either you were there, no us were there.

999
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 2: But the fact is my dad's twenty.

1000
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 4: First birthday Mattersburg.

1001
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 3: At a venue that no longer exists Stevie Rayvon. And

1002
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 3: then I also have New Year's Day nineteen sixty nine

1003
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 3: Grateful Dead at winter Land, which is an old, iconic

1004
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 3: San Francisco music Other than that's like their home turf,

1005
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 3: and it's like free breakfast at it's like four hours,

1006
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 3: six hour show, free breakfast at Dawn Two Year's Party.

1007
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 4: Winter Summer sixty nine, so it would be one of those.

1008
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 3: One of those too. That's pretty cool in terms of

1009
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 3: my most part, like the Dead's Home Court winter Land

1010
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 3: was there for.

1011
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

1012
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's a good way to put it.

1013
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 4: Yes. So my follow up question is is any of

1014
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 4: it based off value? Like do you know? I don't

1015

Speaker 4: know you have ten of them, you have one hundred

1016
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 4: of them? I have no idea. Do you know the

1017
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 4: value of them all?

1018
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 3: Yes, some of them are probably worth six hundred and

Speaker 4: Nothing frame frame you know type yeah yeah, yeah.

1024
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I would say, yeah, I have some that

1025
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 3: are probably worth a hundred bucks, and then I've got

1026
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 3: a couple that are probably worth six seven hundred.

1037
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 4: of the show, No chance, No chance.

1038

00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: You know, Luke tweets it says random. How do you

1046
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: guys feel about lacrosse? I love lacrosse. I think it's great.

1047
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 2: I don't know much.

1048
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 3: About it, but my sister played. My sister was a

1049
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 3: whipil champion in lacrosse, state runner up. My sister was

1050
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 3: a good high school lacrosse player. I liked watching her play.

1051
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 3: I like it anytime I'm around it. I have a

1052
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 3: stick because I used to, like, you know, run with

1053
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 3: my sister. It's one of those sports that if it

1054
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 3: was more popular when I was a kid, I think

1055
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 3: I definitely would have been interested in playing.

1056
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 4: I respect it. I mean, they work hard, it's physical, Yeah.

1057
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 2: The guy's game is heavy metal. Man, they wail on

1058
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: each other.

1059
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 4: That's what's gonna say. My daughter played eighth and ninth grade.

1060
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 4: That's a tough one.

1061
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 2: That's different. Some of the girls rules are wonky.

1062
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 4: They don't really play defense or you can't touch each

1063
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 4: other because like a buddy of mine I was with

1064

1065
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,239
