1
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I am dale Ally here with Matt Williamson.

2
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: The Steelers are just announcing that they have named Omar

3
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: con GM. That is guy is now fresh news and

4
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: that was came out last night that that was going

5
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: to be the possibility, that was what was going to happen.

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: Eric Widel and Eric I'm thinking of Eric idol different,

7
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: completely different now for something completely different, right right right, Um,

8
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: we will be named assistant GM. And I think what again,

9
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: I wrote the story last night and people immediately well,

10
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: Omar Khan doesn't have any uh, he's not a player

11
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: personnel guy. Well that's why they hired Widel, right, all right, right.

12
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: I think they compliment each other really well. I mean

13
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: Omar has obviously got a background with numbers, salary cap um.

14
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: They have a lot of salary cap spakes going forward.

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: I think that was a big consideration, you know, how

16
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: they're going to allocate funds and all those things. But

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: he's also been the organization a long time. He knows

18
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: how they do things. I'm sure he's been in every

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: draft meeting since he's been hired as well. I mean

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: he's not just hey, get the contracts ready. I mean

21
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: I think there's more than that. And Andy has an

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: extensive scouting background. I mean he's he's been the boots

23
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: on the ground, going into colleges, doing watching the tape,

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: all that kind of thing. So in reality, what they

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: actually did here was Hitle really takes what Kevin Colbert

26
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: was doing running the scouting department. I assume that he'll

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: be in charge of like it doesn't sound like much,

28
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: but the GM also or the scouting director is in

29
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: charge of, well, Johnny's gonna be at USC this day

30
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: and then you know, and all that kind of stuff,

31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: scheduling and things, doing all that stuff and then compiling

32
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: the information at the end of it all. He'll be

33
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: the guy that goes with Mike Tomlin to the pro days.

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: I would imagin yeah, right, right right, And he won't

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: do that probably right, like I bet at some point

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: and he goes to the High State Michigan game. You know.

37
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: That's so really what they didn't change anything in the

38
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: structure other than giving different titles. Omark is going to

39
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: do the same job that he's been doing. That's, as

40
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: I say, I wonder, I assume he'll still be heavily

41
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: involved a contract, certainly extremely involved with salary cap. But

42
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean they may have a lawyer type that actually

43
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: writes up the verbage and stuff with contract. That's that's

44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: not my area of expertise by any stretch, not my

45
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: pay grade, right, But so yeah, that's that's now official. Man,

46
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about this these pieces. And he's

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: a Libo guy by the way, a year younger than

48
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: me from Libo, so more local ties. Um CBS sports

49
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: dot Com put out an article and I didn't realize

50
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: it was this many ranking all seventeen new NFL head

51
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: coach quarterback too. It's amazing. Yeah, is as a new

52
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: head coach a new quarterback? We're both right, I mean,

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. The two most important things in the game

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: to me, and the Steelers are one of those. So

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: I thought that was your maine to the conversation here,

56
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: which obviously it's rare for this team to have that,

57
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: to be in that conversation. Haven't been in that situation

58
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: since well two thousand seven when Mike Tomlin was hired.

59
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: Yeah that's a long time ago. Very stable, both of

60
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: these but uh, there're a few clarifiers here. So but

61
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: to me, these teams have more room for air than

62
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs of the Bills. You know what I mean.

63
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: So a team needs just one new starting quarterback or

64
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: head coach to qualify. Daniel Jones has been the Giants

65
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: quarterback for years, but he represents a new duo alongside

66
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Brian Dayball. Yes. Uh, surprisingly though, the seventeen teams this

67
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: year that have one of the one or the other,

68
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: only one has both. Only one has both. That is

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: a little surprising. Usually a terrible team best Denver and

70
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: that is Denver's Uh, we're ranking the duo is not

71
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: the respective teams. That said, quarterback head coach do is

72
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: can be a good indicator of a team standing. Chances

73
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: are if your favorite if your favorite teams pairing is

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: high on the list, they're better positioned to overcome other weaknesses.

75
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: If you were the owner of the Washington Lawley's new

76
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: NFL team, they'd be great, have a fantastic logo, and

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: you could have a better quarterback or head coach. Quarterback

78
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: covers up a lot of the I know, I mean,

79
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm not talking Brady Belichick, Marino, you know, I'm thinking

80
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay covered up a lot

81
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: of a lot of awards. Yeah. I mean, they obviously

82
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: each can make the other look better. But man, if

83
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: I have a hundred bucks to spend on everything in

84
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: my organization, a lot of it would be on quarterback

85
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: and head coach, you know, yeah, you know, no doubt.

86
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: And then finally, this is the two ranking more than

87
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: a draft. We'd much rather gamble on Trevor Lawrence or

88
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: Trey Lance for the long term, for example. But Matt

89
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: Ryan and Kirk Cousins are already proven starters. Okay, I

90
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying there. Okay, so number their number

91
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: one due is uh the Buccaneers with Tom Brady and

92
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: Top Bulls. Yeah, because it really isn't it Not much

93
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: of a change, and Bulls was already there. They didn't

94
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: bring somebody in from outside. He's already been a head coach,

95
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: so he knows what he's doing in that respect. I

96
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: think Brady brings a little bit of leadership as well.

97
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: I'm might think I don't think Tavia's hurting for leadership

98
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, either or experience. Number two is

99
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and Nathaniel Hackett. M hmm. I mean, I

100
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: guess we'll go through these, but immediately I think that's

101
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: too high, but we'll see. I think so as well.

102
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: Because Hackett has never been a head coach, right, I'm

103
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: gonna be very prejudiced against first time head coach. You know,

104
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: even like Brandon Stately, it seems like a really bright

105
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: young guy, and everyone will say he goes for too

106
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: much on fourth down. I expect him to be a

107
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: much better coach in year two, year one. I think

108
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: you're one's really hard on rookie coaches. Number three is

109
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson and Kevin Stefanski. I would put that ahead

110
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: of Denver, but I mean, but don't about that is

111
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: just a huge asset. There's gonna be a huge asterix

112
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: no matter what. I'm just talking on the field when

113
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: they're both. If that were Kevin Stefanski and Jacoby Brissette,

114
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: they will be down right right right, Baker's gone either way, right,

115
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: they'd been like twelve on this list. Low, Yes, the

116
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: coach with Matt Ryan and Frank Reich. That's pretty solid. Yeah,

117
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: I mean again, it's not probably Super Bowl or again,

118
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that's exactly Marino, Shula or Walsh Montana,

119
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: but I'll take that. Yeah, I mean it's probably one

120
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: of the top twelve in the league. The Vikings with

121
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and Kevin O'Connell, the first time head coach.

122
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't can't. It's too much of an unknown, it's

123
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: too big a job. I couldn't take Kevin O'Connell out

124
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: of a lineup. Remember him as a quarterback coming out

125
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: was like a fourth round pick. Was a big, strong guy.

126
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: You know, but who knows? Man the head coach is hard.

127
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: The Raiders with Derek Carr and Josh McDaniels. Seeh, I

128
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: would put that much higher because at least Josh has

129
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: done it. He's been a head coach. Not a successful

130
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: head coach, he's been a head coach, and he's turned

131
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: down the Colts, which seems like a kind of a

132
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: whole move. But I mean after accepting, after accepting the job.

133
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,119
Speaker 1: But I know who car is. I'll take him over Cousins,

134
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: I'll take him over Ryan. You know, seven is Trevor

135
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: Lawrence and Doug Peterson. P just gonna think gets you

136
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah yeah, I mean there's a back,

137
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: there's a background there. He's the adult in the room.

138
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,119
Speaker 1: He's he's won games. I mean, I'm not saying Jackson

139
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: is gonna turn it around in a year, but I

140
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: think that's stabilizing. Yeah, it's certainly more than he had

141
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: last year. Number eight is the Steelers with Kenny Pickett

142
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: in Mike Tomlin. Would that be the same ranking for

143
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: Mitch Robinski in Mike Tomlin? I guess. I mean the

144
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: Tomlin side of it is the best of all the

145
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: things we've mentioned so far. To me, I mean, I mean,

146
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: of all the coaches, he's the one who put highest,

147
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: So that carries a ton of weight. I mean a

148
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: lot more than O'Connell, you know. I mean of the

149
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, I would rather have Lawrence than the Robinsky

150
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: Pickett conversation. Um, I guess that's where they belong. That

151
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: might be a little harsh. I mean, I think I'd

152
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: rather have the Steelers combination in Minnesota's Yeah, and maybe

153
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: even I don't know how much we're factoring in. Again,

154
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going on in Cleveland. I don't

155
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: say Indie is solid, stable, is fine, but there's not

156
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: immense upside there and it's not a long term fix. Yeah,

157
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: and we don't know that Frank Reich is a great coach.

158
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: No I don't think he's a great coach. I mean,

159
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: I think he'd probably be milled back. Yeah, I mean

160
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: they they It wasn't all Carson Winz's fault that they

161
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: faded last year, right, Frankreik had a pretty big hand

162
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: in that. Right. Every wants to blame the one guy,

163
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: and it it wasn't. It's a team game. This one's interesting.

164
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: Number nine is Trey Lance and Kyle Shanahan. Is that

165
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: new though? I guess it's a new starter. Okay, Well,

166
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy still on the team. He's still on the team.

167
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that one counts. I don't think I

168
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: would count that one. But yeah, I'm not gonna count

169
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: that one. No. Uh. Number ten is TOA and Mike McDaniel.

170
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be really good for to H.

171
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: I just don't think two is ever gonna be really good.

172
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: Like I think this will be the best opportunity he

173
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: ever gets, saying I am Yeah, I like to a

174
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: lesson less all the time. Yea. And by all accounts,

175
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: he's extremely likable, very hard worker, rare charisma. You know,

176
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: people love him as Teammates will run through a wall

177
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: for him. That's great. I don't think he's very talented.

178
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: He's not big, strong, fast, he doesn't throw the football

179
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: particularly well, and he's injury prone. I don't see it

180
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: with him anymore. No, I don't either, Uh, levin this

181
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: one is this one's tough. It's justin fields and met

182
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: eber flos Um Again, eber Flois could walk right up

183
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: to us right now spit in my face and I'm like,

184
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: who is that? And he's a defensive guy, right, And

185
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: they have done anything around justin Fields this year to

186
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: help him. I will say, just to shout out, you're

187
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: talking local dudes. Luke Gats he's the offensive coordinator and

188
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: there probably isn't a coach in the league that isn't

189
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: in this building that I'm rooting for more. And I

190
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: mean Luke was a tremendous player to be around. Person Again,

191
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for him to no end. And I don't

192
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: know if he's a good coach not. I mean that's

193
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: just the facts. I mean, we don't know what assistant coaches.

194
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, frankly, we don't know if White right. I mean,

195
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: I know he's putting in the work and he's a

196
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: high quality dude. Um, but hope that he's got a

197
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: tough job. I mean, I don't. I don't on envy

198
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: Luke's job at all to be in charge of Chicago's offense.

199
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: It's twelve as Carson Wentzon run RIVERA. I would have

200
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: that one higher out of that one higher. Rivera is

201
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: an NFL head coach. Yeah, like, and I don't not

202
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: say in O'Connor borderline top ten head coach. Yeah, I

203
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: mean he's in that car. He's he's the Derek Carr

204
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: slash uh yeah, right right exactly head coaches, which is

205
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: who I think Frank Reich is too. Yeah, you know

206
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: they're all they're in that so one of the thirty

207
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: two best. You know, they'll probably you know, if they

208
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: got let go, they'd probably employed a year later or

209
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: on Fox for a year, and then they go back

210
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: to the coaching if they so choose, or a major

211
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: college program. And Wentz doesn't stink. I mean again, it's

212
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: back to the Colts conversation. He's gotten too much heat

213
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. Yeah, I agree. I

214
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: think that one's way too low, way too low. Uh.

215
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston and Dennis Allen. Now, Dennis Allen has been

216
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: a head coach before. Yes, not a successful one and

217
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: it was in Oakland, which yeah, because I don't even

218
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: know if it counts because they've had seventy two head coaches.

219
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: I want to actually watched the Al Davis thirty for

220
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: thirty last night, Football Life Football say it because I

221
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: think Max Crosby was on NFL Network and he was

222
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: picking all kinds of Raiders stuff all day, right, And

223
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: I actually caught the end of one of the the

224
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: Al Davis football Dennis like they just cycling that the

225
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: Raiders have cycled through coaches. Like with all fact, Al

226
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: Davis the end of his end of his lifespan as

227
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: man being in charge with Raiders was dysfunction junction, you

228
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Right, I would have that one

229
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: higher too, though. I mean, i think people know him

230
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: a Winston fan. But I'm not gonna kill him for

231
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: being a new head coach as much because he was

232
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: bumped up in the organization. I mean, that's that's a

233
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: little easier coming in from the outside. We're gonna keep

234
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: everything in place. We're gonna have the same offense, the

235
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: same defense, the same coaching staff. Yeah, it's not Kevin

236
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: O'Connell or the Miami situation, even Brian Dable going to

237
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: the Giants, like right, right, right, we imagined them yet again.

238
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: In fact, he's next at fourteen Daniel Jones and Brian Dayball.

239
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: Of all the new coaches, I think they Ball is

240
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: my favorite, okay, but that doesn't mean I have this

241
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: combination any higher. So I figure that out as you will.

242
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: I also think if I was Daniel Jones lawyer, I

243
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: can make a decent case for him for not stinking like,

244
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: give me a line, give me, you know, skill guys

245
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: that play ten games, you know, maybe even sixteen or

246
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: seventeen and don't change coordinators every year on me. Yeah,

247
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, so I think he could have an okay year.

248
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that I would have picked up a

249
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: fifth year option or any of those things. Um, you know,

250
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: so that's that should be low. He's also not super

251
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: talented either. The Seahawks and right now they list Gino

252
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: Smith as the head coach with Pete Carroll's well, Gino

253
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: Smith is that again, isn't a new true Locke is

254
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: the new quarterback? Who do you think is gonna start there?

255
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe they would go into a season with

256
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: Gino Smith is their starter. I mean, Gina's Smith's been

257
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: in the league since two thousand thirteen and has never

258
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: been a team's opening day starter by choice. I mean

259
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: he's never been a starter by choice. He should be employed,

260
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: he should be a number two. But he's a backup, right,

261
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: That's what he is. Yeah, I don't know what if

262
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: it was Baker, uh Baker and Carol would you have

263
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: him hire? Maybe a little bit, but not much. Who's

264
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: better at Carson Wentzer, Baker Mayfield, Carson Wentz. Do you

265
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: think that's a slam dug? I do, Okay, I think

266
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: they're on the same tier. But I would rather have

267
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: went Wentz is more talented. If we're just talking talent,

268
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: Baker's like two of To me, there's not a lot

269
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: of talent there. Sixteen is Marcus Mariotta and Arthur Smith.

270
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: It's pretty low. I like the Smith hiring isn't any players, though.

271
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: I don't know how you evaluate him as a head coach.

272
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you think Ridder is gonna be there

273
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: at some point this year? At some point? So either

274
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: way you got a new quarterback, have a new quarterback? Yeah,

275
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: that would be below the very few weapons And but

276
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: Seattle will be lower than that. Even with all respect

277
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: to Carol, their quarterback stink. I mean the Panthers. I

278
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: think Seattle was the worst quarterbacks in the league, easily

279
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: the worst quarterback room. Yeah, that's what I mean. So

280
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: Carol carries some although I don't know if it's easily

281
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: because Falcon's quarterback room isn't great. No, it's not. But

282
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: in Panthers are bad. The Panthers are might be the worst.

283
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: I'd rather Ridder than Corral the everyone has an incumbent

284
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: in a young guy, I'd rather I'd go Ridder corral

285
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: Lock of those three, Okay, well, what about the veteran guys?

286
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: Should probably go Mariot to Darnald Gino. But say lack

287
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: is lack is uh? I mean lots of the same ages, Arnald.

288
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking that Gino is just the oldest of

289
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: the group. Gino's okay. None of them are good. It's

290
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: a bad bads like would you would you rather eat

291
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, this this fly or would you rather have

292
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: this this snail? Which right this grass clippings over there.

293
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: I still think there's a chance that Corral or especially Ritter,

294
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: could be a decent NFL quarterback. Okay, but right out

295
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: of the gate, no, I think both will play this year. Yeah,

296
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so either. And I think Jimmy and

297
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: or Baker are gonna end up somewhere, and that leaves

298
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: seventeen Davis Mills and Lovey Smith. I would have them

299
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: ahead a couple of Seattle. Yeah. I don't love Lovey

300
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: Smith is an NFL head coach, but he's been around blocked.

301
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I really think he's only getting hired until

302
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Josh McCown is more right right right, and they I

303
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: think there was some pressure on them to hire a

304
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: minority because they were the last high They seemed to

305
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: adore McCown, who has a terrible resume. I hadn't done

306
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: anything anything. I mean, it's and I think the NFL

307
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: would have given them pressure if they signed, if they

308
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: hired Hm account without a doubt, there are many qualified

309
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: minority coaches, you know. So whatever true or false, Davis

310
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: Mills will be an opening day starter in two thousand

311
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: twenty five. False, Okay, I leaned towards false, but I

312
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: give it like at chance. I think he'll be a

313
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: quality backup in He could be cousins, he could be

314
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. He could be wring Fitzpatrick. Yeah again, I

315
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: mean I think you're okay, Well he'll be our Bridge,

316
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: He'll yeah, yeah, yeah, well we'll yeah. I mean, I

317
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: think he'll make many millions in the last many years

318
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: and win some games. But opening they started three years

319
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: from now, two years. I don't know that anybody went

320
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: into last season saying we got a game plan for

321
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Davis Mills here against this Texans team. But he did

322
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: a lot with a little He did, like Mac Jones

323
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: at more around him. But now I think when you

324
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: start looking at this, now you're gonna go, Okay, now

325
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna start game planning for Davis Mills at quarter

326
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: and now things could go a little sideways on him.

327
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: I think you and I didn't have this conversation. I

328
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: heard a remarkable stat about the Texans last year, which

329
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: understandably now the green uh Kenyan green pick makes a

330
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: lot more sense. Their success rate running the football on

331
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: first down was historically back you know, every time they

332
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: ran the ball on first down it was like second

333
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: and nine. I mean the yards per carry on first down,

334
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 1: So he was always behind the chains, you know. So

335
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: that's why I took some heat even recently um in fact,

336
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: on d K Pittsburgh Sports, when when you know, you

337
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: came on and somebody said, well, now, somebody would really

338
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: tell us that the Steeler's offensive line stinks or wasn't

339
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't great. I didn't. I never said last year

340
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: that they were great. No one thinks they're great. I

341
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: would just continue to say when people would come on

342
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: and say, oh, that's the worst offensive line in the league,

343
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's not the worst offensive line in the league.

344
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: Miami's is way worse. Houston's was way worse, you know,

345
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: like and even a time I didn't understand them, like

346
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: why are they taking a big earth moving guard this early?

347
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: And it even the Pierce pick, you know, like I

348
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: understood that they need to get a couple of yards

349
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: on first down. You know, they couldn't even do that.

350
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: And the other thing about a lot of these lines

351
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: in the league. They look okay now, and they looked

352
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: okay one year ago or the first month of the season,

353
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: but once two injuries happened, some of these guys were

354
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: trotting out bad players, really bad, really bad players, right

355
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: like the Bengals. We had the Bengals conversation yesterday, some

356
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: of the dudes that they played with late in the

357
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: year should get zero stamps, you know, you know, and

358
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: that happens to everybody. I mean, there's nutrition, no doubt.

359
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: But those are the sevent team, well we counted six

360
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: team because Trey Lance is not not a new new

361
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: quarterback for the SiO. They traded up, started games for

362
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: them last year. How could he be new? He's he

363
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: was a four last San Matino Smith, but Gino Smith.

364
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna be the starting true

365
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: lock ends up in I think I would bet on

366
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: it to you might as well, at least at least

367
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: see what you got to help you get one. And

368
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: I s don't think they may add somebody still, Yeah, absolutely.

369
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: If Jimmy gets cut, I bet they're grabbing a harpeat. Yeah. Yeah,

370
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna take another break. He is Matt Williams and

371
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: I am Dale Lally. You're listening to the Drive here

372
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: on Steelers Nation Radio. We are live from the U

373
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: p M. C Rooney Sports Complex here at Steelers o

374
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: t a, day number two of session three. We're gonna

375
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: take a break and come back. We'll hear from Zach Gentry.

376
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: He spoke with Us Shuler and Arthur Moates earlier, So

377
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: we'll play that back for you. If you missed that one,

378
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: you'll get a chance to hear it now. So we'll

379
00:19:40,160 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: be back right after this. We are bad back at

380
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: Jenfery interview. Uh, we'll get to that here in a moment.

381
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: I did want to talk about the ancillary block. Yeah,

382
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: it really is. First of all, I didn't really understand

383
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: the Jenfry pick when it happened, watching him his rookie year,

384
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: and you know, it kind of looks like a giraffe

385
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know. I mean, it's just a

386
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: lot of stuff life flailing. They like those you know,

387
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: Matt Space space guy. But you've said this eight thousand

388
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: times on the drive. I mean, people were allowed to

389
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,719
Speaker 1: get better. You know, these guys work hard. Anyone's going

390
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: to practice. They work hard. It coaches are doing putting

391
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: their time in. Not every draft pick is for now.

392
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: I think he's a perfect example of that. And again,

393
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: the ancillary blocking is a big deal on this team.

394
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: Losing Juju I thought really hurt in that regard. And

395
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: I've been very critical of Claypool because I thought, you know,

396
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: how many how many times when he was picked. You know, boy,

397
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: he was a good blocker. Notre Dame's great special team

398
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: or you know you're gonna get that right out of

399
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: the bat, and he's let me down in that regard.

400
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: It's never gonna be Deonte's thing. Um, Ray Ray was

401
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: on the field a lot, and we're not going to

402
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: give anything. Give you anything, and you might get a

403
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: little bit of what you know, Cam's little brother input

404
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: from these peripheral blockers too. And I think Friar moves fine.

405
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: Cam's older brothers. Sorry, younger, I'm thinking what um, Yeah,

406
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think the ancillary blocking is huge

407
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: and Pickens does it well. But and Pickens is very physical.

408
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: Uh and you know coming out of Georgia, you better

409
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: be because they're gonna run the football. Yeah, they're gonna

410
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: throw the ball twenty to twenty five times every game,

411
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: and they're gonna run the ball forty five times every game.

412
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: If we operate under the assumption that they're they're the

413
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: most used personnel package will be eleven personnel with Nausey,

414
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: Friar Muth, Deonte, Claypool, Pickens on the field, which of

415
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: course they're gonna use other things. Yeah, I only think

416
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: one of those elevens a subpar blocker for his respective position,

417
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: and that's Johnson, who's your best receiver. You know you'll

418
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: take that. I mean, that's that's rare. Usually there's two

419
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: or three liabilities on the team for you know, when

420
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: eleven vers of now. Yeah, so I think it's gonna

421
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: be interesting. I know Zack Gentry bulked up last year.

422
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: Um too, he was injured near two at that knee

423
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: knee issue. Year one was basically you know, a wash

424
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: for him. Um you know, he just didn't play a

425
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: lot because he was basically on scholarship as the number

426
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: three guy. You know, he's talking about Gy who's a

427
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: former quarterback. Yeah right, right right Michigan. When he went

428
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: to Michigan, he was a quarterback, which you can see

429
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: the knowledge of the game too there. But he's now

430
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: up the two plus pounds. Yeah, yeah, do you know

431
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: what he played that last year? By chance? That was

432
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: where he played last year? Okay, I mean I know

433
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: he's a big tight end, but I didn't know ize

434
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: he was in that neighbor. I was looking at him

435
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: and and Pat Friar moved today and fire move is

436
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: not a small tight end. No, No, he's not Evan Ingram,

437
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: you know, right, Uh, And Gentry just towers over him. Yeah,

438
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean he's like it was a big guy. He's

439
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: like having an extra more athletic offensive tackle on the

440
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: field there. I don't know how familiar listeners are at

441
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: Lee Smith. He went to Marshall. He's been in the league,

442
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: just a big ja Yeah exactly. He's like two eighty

443
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: and has made a nice living doing exactly that. If

444
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: Gentry could be a version of that that catches, I

445
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: don't know, fifteen passes a year, twenty passes a year.

446
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: Every once in a while you sneak him out. He

447
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: shows the block and then sneaks out and next thing

448
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, he's he got fifteen yards. Yeah, play action

449
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: on the gold line. We've seen a million tight ends,

450
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, throw it up high, go get it, you

451
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So that's that's a long term

452
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: that's a keeper to me. You know, if if he

453
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: can do those things and he's somebody you uh, he's

454
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: somebody that you could you know, signed to a second deal,

455
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: get eight to ten years of never be on the

456
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: field for more than I don't know the snaps, but

457
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: he played more and more as a season when on

458
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: last year too, Yeah, because you know, on running, you know,

459
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: they're trying to run the ball. That's the one thing,

460
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, if if you want to talk about friar

461
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: Mouths uh rookie season, the one thing he didn't do

462
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: well was blocked, right. And people forget, I mean just

463
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: because he's a tight end at Penn State and Big ten,

464
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: and you would think, you know, they run the ball

465
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: of time. He was the number one receiver, right, I mean,

466
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: if they're throwing the ball, he's going out. And that's

467
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: the case with most drafted tight ends, you know. I

468
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: mean that that's one of the things that why they

469
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: struggle to transition to the league is blocking is hard.

470
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: Blocking defense edge defenders and outside linebackers and even big

471
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: strong safeties is hard work and a lot of it's technique,

472
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: and they just haven't done much of it. Yeah. Um,

473
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: and I'll give Gentry credit because a lot of times,

474
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: you know, these guys that are six eight struggle. They

475
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: can't they just can't get low. Uh. And so most teams,

476
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: if they get their linebacker or if they get a

477
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: linebacker an edge rusher matched up on a tight end,

478
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: the edge rusher is expected to win that. Oh yeah,

479
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: that's what they want. Yeah, like trust me, like that

480
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: when the defense gets together and watch his tape, and

481
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean t J. Watson obvious example, but any guy

482
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: in that position you get a tight end block everyone

483
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: rooms laughing at if you don't win that game, you

484
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: know when you know like the tight end. Let alone

485
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: a former quarterback right right, right right. And I looked

486
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: at Gentry to one of my worries with him just

487
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: first his rookie minicamp or whatever, first time watching him live.

488
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't think he'd bend well, you know,

489
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: like they did those drills where they have to get

490
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: under the bars and you know, come out of their

491
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: stance low. He's worked on it, obviously. You know, usually

492
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: you have that or you don't. But he's he's a

493
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: little more flexible than he used to be, and you know,

494
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: I think he's a keeper. Well that was what was

495
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: amazing to me two years ago when the Steelers signed

496
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,719
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron and watching him hit the sleds and stuff,

497
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: and I asked him, when's the last time he hit

498
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: a sled And He's like, maybe my rookie year in

499
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: Detroit yeah, the guy. He's been in the league five

500
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: or six years, and it just boggles my mind that

501
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: more teams don't ask their tight ends the block that

502
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: that's definitely surprising. And so many of them in the

503
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: league now, the caseks and you know are really just

504
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: big wide receivers. I mean, you could call them whatever

505
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: you want, but really starting with like a Jimmy Graham there,

506
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: there's about a ton of these guys that come in

507
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: the league is just big athletes and call them whatever

508
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: you want, but they're not blocking many people. And peripheral

509
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: blocking as a whole, dude, you know, is what we

510
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: opened the the segment with. It's sort of a lost art.

511
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: You know. There's there's a lot of divas, there's a

512
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: lot of seven on seven. There's a lot of you know,

513
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: different college programs and now NFL programs that just don't

514
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: stress it very much. Yeah, so it's more than just

515
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 1: the offensive line blocking. Oh yeah, it's it's about you know,

516
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: you break those long runs by having your receivers and

517
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: and and you know, tight ends blocking down field. The

518
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: Titans come to mind, like Derrick Henry is a load

519
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: when he gets going, of course, and he has a

520
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 1: lot of long runs. But they've had a lot of

521
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: good blocking receivers. You know, they're they're making plays for

522
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: him eight yards down field, you know, the second level

523
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: they come and they're get in the way of a

524
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: safety or whatever that would have at least slowed Henry down,

525
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: you know. So that's a great way to generate big plays,

526
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: you know. And and I I forget who reference did it,

527
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: but I think someone asked Pickings sometimes since getting drafted,

528
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: you know about his his blocking and you know, he

529
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: not only takes pride in him and he's pretty aggressive

530
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: with it, and a lot of those Georgia backs over

531
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: the years broke a lot of long runs and he

532
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: deserves some credit for that. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean you

533
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: put your guy on his on his butt and then

534
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: you keep him there or you you know, lead the

535
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: way down the field just to see what your seal.

536
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: The edge was his freshman year and not putting in

537
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: a spot here, but his best year his freshman year

538
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: as an eighteen year old was Chubb the lead back.

539
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: I think that adds up because past year was cooking

540
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: Zameer White, who was a really good candom Well that

541
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: would have been two thousand, nineteen Georgia. Yes, yes, because

542
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: he was there three years when he won. Yeah, it's

543
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: twenty one and twenty were injury riddled. In nineteen Pickens

544
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: was a total super star. Was DeAndre Swift? Okay, that

545
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: makes more sense. Like I say, there had to be

546
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: a great Georgia back there, and I'm like, Sony, Michelle's

547
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 1: too old and Swift only average twelve six point two

548
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: yards to carry there, Okay, yeah, And I'm like Michelle

549
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: has to be too old. And then Michelle and Chubb

550
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: came out the same year, right, and who am I

551
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: missing as Swift? Swift? Yeah, that makes sense. So yeah,

552
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: I mean they just pump out the running backs and

553
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: they want to run the football. I mean, even if

554
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: you look at that year, Pickens had uh what uh

555
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: where the Hextra other status receiving stets. So that year

556
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: Pickens had forty nine catches for seven seven yards and people,

557
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: well that's that's not very many, right, And the Swift

558
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: had a hundred and ninety six carries in fourteen games.

559
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: Brian harry And had a hundred three carries in twelve games.

560
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: Zamir White had seventy eight carries in Zamir White was

561
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 1: like a four or five star recruit too. I mean

562
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: they had that point. They had three guys that finished

563
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 1: with more than four yards rushing that year. And that

564
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: wasn't a great Georgia team. That was. That was a

565
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: twelve and two Georgia teams. Okay here, you know, finished

566
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: fourth that year. Probably lost the Bama, right and I

567
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: think that was Joe Burrows year. They probably lost to

568
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: the powerhouse l s U and Bama. Yeah, bad year.

569
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: But even at that, Jake From threw the ball in

570
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: fourteen games three and eighty five times, so using my

571
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: U p J math, that's about times a game, all right, right, right,

572
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: So you're just not gonna put up those kind of

573
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: those those kind of big receiving numbers. The majority of

574
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: the time you're blocking, you know, so you're either selling

575
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: it or you're you're actually blocking. Yeah, and again, many

576
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: people considered picking the best receiver in the country after

577
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: that two thousand nineteen season. And with all respect to From,

578
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: who was an okay college quarterback, he didn't have great

579
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: quarterback play there either, No, right, guys, you know, fields transferred.

580
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds like that he probably should have stayed,

581
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: but who knows. Yeah, We're still waiting for the uh

582

605
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: for that. We'll continue to bring you that. But um,

606
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: I know I promised the Zach Gentry interview here that

607
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: still is downloading here. But as I was just tooling

608
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: around here, I looked at my emails and I got

609
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: a thing here. This is the odds for m v

610
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 1: P Award for the league. These are the futures. So

611
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: right now, as it stands, Justin Herbert has overtaken Josh

612
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: Allen is the end league. Yeah he's plush five fifty. Well,

613
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: I think he's a special young player. But it amazes

614
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: me that he's number one. Yeah, Josh Allen is second

615
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: at plus six hundred. So it's it'says. It's a close race.

616
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: My Chargers didn't go to the playoffs last year. They

617
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: did not a really tough division. I mean I did

618
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: a power ranks recently and I had them very very high,

619
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: had the Bills one. But I feel much better about

620
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: the Bills going to the postseason or the Chargers. Yeah,

621
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean if if you know, if

622
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: the Bills go thirteen and four, is that good enough

623
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: for Alan? Yeah? Probably? As like let's say the Chargers

624
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: go eleven and they have a tougher division eleven and six,

625
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: but they're the top two names, right, Yeah, I still

626
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: would have My Homes. That's very he started conversation. He

627
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: started at plus nine hundred. They're the only ones under

628
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: plus one thousand. Joe Burrow is fourth at plus eleven hundred. Okay,

629
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is fifth at plus fourteen hundred, as is

630
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady at plus four. To see the thing about

631
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: Rogers and My Homes, they both have won the award.

632
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: Rogers has won two in a row. And you've got

633
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: to remember human beings are voting for this, so right now,

634
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: human beings that are doing the voting have extremely high

635
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: expectations for Alan obviously Herbert Burrow, and expect them to

636
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: be awesome. Where those teams Green Bay in Kansas City

637
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: just lost a stud So if Rogers or My Homes

638
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: comes out of nowhere and overcomes that, so yeah, those

639
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: are the guys I'd be betting off, you know, because

640
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: they've done it, and wow, I can't believe that he

641
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: could overcome those circumstances to do it again. Yeah, Russell

642
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: Wilson comes in at plus sixteen hundred. Then you have

643
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and Jalen Hurts at plus eighteen hundred. That's

644
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't bet on either one of those guys. I mean,

645
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: I think Eagles could be good. Who was the other one?

646
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Uh, DeShawn Watson. No, I'm not betting that

647
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: at all, No way. I mean, you gotta play the

648
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: majority of the season, right, Uh. Yeah. Then you got

649
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: Derek Carr at plus two thousand, as is Matthew Stafford

650
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: at plus two thousand. I think those are pretty good

651
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: bet those are Yeah, those are solid. I mean if

652
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders have a real good year, of course he's

653
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: gonna get it. I mean from that team. You know,

654
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: how about this next to You're really like these ones?

655
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackals. Those are two names. I

656
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: was actually I think both of them are better than

657
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: what they showed last year, and their teams could be good.

658
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: I mean Lamar verse Burrow just sticking in the division.

659
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: Let alone Watson. I think he would be my pick

660
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: no matter what the odds are if like, if you

661
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: told me the league MVP is gonna come out of

662
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: the a f C North, who do you who do

663
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: you think it would have been? I would say it's Lamar? Yeah,

664
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean he has won it, right, I mean, Burrow

665
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: is great, but Lamar is a one man show without

666
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: a doubt. Yeah. After them at plus thirty three hundred,

667
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: you have three guys, four guys, Kyler Murray, Matt Ryan,

668
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: Trey Lance into a tug vol I don't like it.

669
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: I can't write a story where two was the league MVP.

670
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: Ryan's won one. I don't see him winning it though

671
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: now at thirty seven. I mean, I can't imagine being

672
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: the m v P of the Colts offense. And that's

673
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: not knocking Jonathan Taylor's really good. Um Lance would have

674
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: to be remarkable. Yeah, I mean I guess Lance would happen.

675
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: I mean he could. He could come out and have

676
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: a uh Lamar Jackson type year. I mean he but

677
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: that's what he would have to do. He'd have to

678
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: be like the guy that wins fantasy leagues. Yeah, you

679
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: know which is possible. Um, who was the other one?

680
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: I thought it had a chance, Tyler Murray yeah, I

681
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: mean he has a chance to it for seventeen games though,

682
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, Uh, then you got Kirk Cousins in it's

683
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: here by himself at plus four thousand, it's not the

684
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: worst odds in the world. If they win twelve games,

685
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: and I mean, I don't know, maybe maybe the ceiling

686
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: on high enough. M VP is a big, big accomplishment.

687
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: Uh then after that you eat your first non quarterback.

688
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry had played five thousand. That's interesting because he

689
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: was on that pace last year before. Yeah. I mean,

690
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: if anyone really, if it had the mid season, if

691
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: you had had the MVP award, it goes to Derrick Henry.

692
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: It's interesting that he has a better shot than Tannehill. Yeah,

693
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, and I guess he should. But shouldn't

694
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: Taylor have a better shot than Ryan? I would think so, yeah,

695
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, Like I mean, I know, fantasy is not reality,

696
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: but I mean all these people play fan Everyone the

697
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: world plays fantasy. You know, these are all fantasy type guys.

698
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: Taylor's going first, McCaffrey's doing second, Henry's doing third, and

699
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: most running backs. You know, I think Taylor's got a

700
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: better m v P shot than any non quarterback and

701
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: no Cooper Cup on here yet and he would be next.

702
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Uh then after Henry who also with Henry

703
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: plus five thousand is Mac Jones. Um, I don't see

704
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: that at all. I don't either. Then you have Cooper Cup,

705
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, Justin Fields, and Trevor Lawrence all at plus sixty.

706
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's a super long shot, but I could

707
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: see Lawrence. I mean if if Cup goes out and

708
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: catches a hundred and fifty passes this year, which is

709
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: certainly possible, and he was right there at that and

710
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: that number last year, I don't know the last time

711
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: receivers wanted well that's the problem. Yeah, actually was it

712
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: was a Randy Moss or he was Jerry Rice. I

713
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: was thinking Harrison one year set the receiving receptions. I

714
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: think it was because I looked it up when Antonio

715
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: Brown was getting because he was in the conversation. He

716
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: was in the conversation like even as great as Julio

717
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: and a B or for those stretches, they were never

718
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: even like runner up. I don't think. Yeah, it's just

719
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: so hard. It's really difficult because for the receiver to

720
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,760
Speaker 1: have a great year of their quarterback has ever Unless

721
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: quarterback gets hurt, then you're you know, then you're splitting it. Uh, Like,

722
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: does Adams have a better shot than car? Is that?

723
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: I mean Adams at a super long shot? Would you

724
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: be interested? Like? Okay, to me, Tyreek has a better

725
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: chance at VP than two h Yeah, you know what

726
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean. And I don't expect Tyreeke have an MVP

727
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: type of scene. It's just for what the money you're yeah,

728
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: for what you're playing down. There's a bunch of guys

729
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: here plus ten thousand, a bunch. The first guy in

730
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: this list is Baker Mayfield. You don't even know where

731
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: he's playing there. You might not even start to be

732
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: a starter this year. We'll read him off and we'll

733
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: each pick the one that would to put a dollar

734
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: on to win him. Baker Mayfield a plus ten thousand,

735
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: Carson wins at plus ten thousand, Christian McCaffrey at plus

736
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: ten thousand, Davante Adams, Deebo Samuel and Zach Wilson. I

737
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 1: think there's one clear win that Carson wins at plus

738
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: ten thousand. I can see, I could see, you know,

739
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 1: if they win the a f C or the NFC

740
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:22,479
Speaker 1: East let's say let's say Washington comes back and wins

741
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve games this year. I mean he actually

742
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: almost one one to your point, you know, I think

743
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: McCaffrey was a runner up though the year that he

744
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: went Yeah, yeah, you know. I mean, if he's a

745
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: fantasy winner, stays, what are they gonna be good enough

746
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: to get there? I'm just saying, like, if they get

747
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: the nine wins with Joe below at quarterback, because McCaffrey

748
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: is a utter superstar. Yeah no, I think those two states. Yeah,

749
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: because again wentz almost one one. If he stays healthy

750
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: for the last month of the season, he would have

751
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: been the m v P the year the Eagles on

752
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Then you're looking at plus fifteen thousand

753
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamar, Jamar Chase, Jamis Winston, Jimmy Garoppolo, Garoppolo, Ryan Tannehill,

754
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: and t J. Watt. Wow, only defensive players. Only the

755
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: first defensive player. There's only one other defensive player on

756
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: this list that you can get odds on, Garrett or

757
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: Donald or Donald I soon Garrett, Yeah, okay, because I'm

758
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Donald shul at least be in the conversation.

759
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: Chase at fifteen thousand Jama. Yeah, I was thinking Kamart.

760
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: What if Chase goes out this year and betters his

761
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: numbers from last year by a lot. What if he

762
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: goes out and catches, you know, eighteen hundred yards with

763
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: the receiving yards and has twenty touchdowns. Well, again, I'm

764
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: looking a lot, a lot of this through fantasy lenses.

765
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean that movie Burrows having a great year, but

766
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: you could look at it and say, well, Chase is

767
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: making Burrow better. Where I was going with that, though,

768
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: is Justin Jefferson's name wasn't mentioned. He's not. No, I

769
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: mean it Cup, Jefferson, and Chase in some order. Usually

770
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: Cup first or the top three receivers off the board.

771
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 1: So if I can get long long and long odds

772
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: on Jefferson and I'd consider it. I think Chase is

773
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: more talented, though, Like if he has a blow up

774
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: historic year, I don't think that's crazy. It could happen. No,

775
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: it's you could definitely have so could Jefferson. For that

776
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: Jefferson Jefferson, I mean Cup had a historic here. Yeah,

777
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: I mean, no one's been more productive in their first

778
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: two years in the league than Justin Jefferson. At that position,

779
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: including Randy Moss for t J want to be NFL

780
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: m v p oh, I mean I think Lawrence Taylor

781
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: was the last one. Yeah, I mean you have to

782
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: have like a twenty five sex season and him or

783
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: Derec or Donald could do it. But wow, the other

784
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: thing you need for that to happen is some of

785
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: those guys on the list that are the Rogers and

786
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: mahomes have to either down years or miss a couple

787
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: of games or you know, you need some good things quarterbacks, right,

788
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: Like if we have a if we have a conversation

789
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 1: in week fifteen, who's the most quarterback in the league,

790
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: and the conversation goes it's like maybe, and why hass

791
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: At that point, that's the only chance he's got. Yeah,

792
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: you know if my again and the Steelers they're definitely good,

793
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: they'd be good. They'd be leading the division or the

794
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: best defense in the league at least, you know. Um,

795
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: And again, why doesn't Ben have more MVP votes? Why

796
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: isn't Russell Wilson more MVP votes? Because most of the

797
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: when somebody runs away with it, one votes, you just

798
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: vote for one guy, right, and you're a jag off

799
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: if you don't vote for that guy because it's so obvious,

800
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: you know, like obviously Lebron or Jordan's. Yeah, they're the

801
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: m v P. Like who would you else? Would you

802
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,959
Speaker 1: vote for? Some of those years like these? This next

803
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: group of guys, well, actually there's there's one guy at

804
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: plus twenty thousand, that's Stelphin Cook. That's not awful. That's

805
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 1: not awful. Then you have at plus twenty three guys

806
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: Austin l R. He's really good. Yeah, and then Myles Garrett,

807
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb. Okay, I don't if Trubb could ever get there, yeah,

808
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: because he's not gonna I mean, he comes off the

809
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: field too much. He would have to have a Derrick

810
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: Henry like two thousand ard season. And you know, but

811
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: what if they're what if Watson suspended and then and

812
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: they win games, you know, on the back of Chub

813
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: or Garrett. No, I can see that with Watson suspended. Yeah,

814
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean that with it that would be their formula

815
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: to get there. Some of these scripts are hard to write, though.

816
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: Offensive Rookie of the Year the leaders here, Kenny Pickett

817
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: leading the way a plus six hundred. I don't think

818
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: i'd vote on him for I would not because I

819
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: don't I don't think. I don't. I don't think it's

820
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: going to be the starter right away. And you've got

821
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: Chris Olave, Bruce Hall, James Cook, this guy More Trail

822
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: and Burke's Drake London, Christian Watson, Garrett Wilson, Kenneth Walker,

823
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Tolbert, Jamison Williams, Matt Corral, Desmond Ritter, Malik Willis,

824
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce. You also have George Pickens at fourth plus

825
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: four thousand. I would put Brees Halls, you don't get it,

826
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: Pickets at plus six hundred. The next quarterback doesn't get

827
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: mentioned on there until Corral plus six, unlike a season

828
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: like last year, though, betting on a receiver as a

829
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: long shot is more likely to figuring out which one

830
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: is the guy right right right? Is more Pikins or

831
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 1: a sky more somebody that wasn't the first receiver takes

832
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 1: Love as the leader plus eight hundred, I wouldn't put

833
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: that money on that. And then Breese Haw at plus

834
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 1: nine hundreds. I mean the Lava might be the third

835
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: receiver on his team. Now, Uh, Breese Hall would be

836
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: my vote. Yeah, Like if I were making the odds,

837
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: if Vegas that put him in. He would be my

838
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 1: the one that is pays the least. Yeah, I agree. Um,

839
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: you know Kenneth Walker plus the possibility that's not bad.

840
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: That's not bad either. Yeah. I kind of like that one. Um,

841
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: I've kind of bet on long shots this year. Yeah,

842
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not many quarterbacks that It goes back

843
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: to what we're talking about with that with that draft. Um,

844
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's just that the depth of the draft.

845
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of names on there. I like,

846
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: but are they in the right situation right you are

847
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 1: they gonna have an opportunity to start. If you told

848
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: me one of these quarterbacks on here was going to

849
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 1: be a starter from day one but my career, he

850
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: immediately goes to the top of the list. Yeah. If

851
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: Ritter or Corral or somebody like that is unbelievable in

852
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: camp in the preseason, and they're gonna be the starter

853
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: in Week one, which could happen in a situation like

854
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: that that probably isn't gonna win a lot of games.

855
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm putting a chip on them, Yeah, no doubt, no doubt,

856
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: But those are the ones that would be. Yeah. And

857
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: as for defensive players, it's it's not gonna be Willis

858
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson's number one at plus five hundred, Thibodeaux, Kyle Hamilton's,

859
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: George carl Offtis Quay Walkers, Ermain Johnson, uh Maud Gardner,

860
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: Trey von Walker, Derek Stingley, Devin Lloyd. I mean that

861
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: that's your top ten defensially, it's a pass rusher or

862
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 1: a linebacker. Defensive Player of the year odds, well, it's

863
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 1: probably one. No, Myles Garrett's one at plus just because

864
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: the m v P thing, I figured one would be

865
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: ahead of him. Uh plus six fifty t one second

866
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: at plus seven hundred, Aaron Donald at plus seven and fifty.

867
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: Those are as good odds you're gonna get on him,

868
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: and they're about to extend him that. It's not like

869
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 1: he's worse. And you're looking at Micah Parsons at plus

870
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: nine hundred, Nick Bosa plus eleven hundred, Joey Bosa plus

871
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: eight ten hundred, Khalil Mack at plus two thousand, Chase

872
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: Young at plus he's young at that odd that's not bad.

873
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: He wasn't great before he got hurt last year. Really,

874
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: Donald's the move. Yeah, you get financial adviser I'd say

875
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: bet On Donald. Now, why you can Max Crosby and

876
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,479
Speaker 1: Von Miller both at plus, Bradley Chubb at Daniel Hunter

877
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: and Darius Leonard and Derwin James as well as Jalen

878
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: Ramsey and Trey Hendrickson all at plus there for defensive

879
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: player of the year. Like guy like Leonard that low,

880
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna have three fumble recoveries, three picks, and a

881
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: million tackles if he stays. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah defense.

882
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: I thought he was a candidate last year. Yeah, yeah,

883
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,240
Speaker 1: I reme. I'm just thinking whoever the most prolific linebacker

884
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: in the league is and his name and Fred Warner

885
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: come to mind as I think an injury though, Yeah,

886
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,479
Speaker 1: and Bosa was listed off his team where the Colts

887
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: didn't have anybody else. Yeah, but anyways, we finally do

888
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: have that Zack Gentry interview downloaded, so we'll play that

889
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: back when we come back. He is Matt Williams and

890
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lally. We'll come to be back with our

891
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: three here live from Steelers O t A Sessions at

892
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: the U P. M. C Rooney Sports Complex. Right after this,

893
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:09,439
Speaker 1: on the Drive
