00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on your home of the Black

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back up, Dale Lolly

3
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: here with Matt Williamson and Matt. I'm working on a

4
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: story on the d K Pittsburgh Sports dot com that

5
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: I did a little research last night. Always fun to

6
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: do a little research. I learned some stuff. So I

7
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: went back and looked at quarterbacks who have played, who

8
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: have who have been starters in the main starters for

9
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: their teams at thirty nine years of age. So they're

10
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: not the guys who got Josh McCown gets thrown right. Not.

11
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: There are lots of guys who you know, George Bland

12
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: to play. They had to be that the guy who

13
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: started the majority of the games for their team. He

14
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: planned on this guy being the starter. I came up

15
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning. This is in their thirty

16
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: nine year old year, so it's not thirty nine plus. Yeah.

17
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: Brett Farve, Doug Flutie do Doug flute In two thousand

18
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: one started to all sixteen games, four Pats the Bears

19
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: that believe it was the Bears. I didn't put the

20
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: team down, put the team down. But Len Dawson with

21
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in nineteen seventy four. He was the first

22
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: guy to do it. Didn't realize he lasted that long

23
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: and he started eight of their fourteen games that year,

24
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: So it wasn't like uh, Philip Rivers and last year

25
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: for the Colts and Warren Moon back in he was

26
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: the I think is one of the most overlooked great quarterbacks.

27
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: He was again and he played like six more years

28
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: after that. He did what Tom Brady is now doing

29
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: and talking. But oh, I can't believe tom Brady right

30
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: where Moon did that? Yeah, you're right, and Moon and

31
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: Flutey had CFL career right before they had a chance

32
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: in the league. So at thirty nine, Tom Brady this

33
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: was in nineteen or two thousand sixteen, it's about five

34
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: years ago, played twelve games, twenty touchdown passes, two interceptions,

35
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: two interceptions through forty yards Drew Brees fifteen games, set

36
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: out the FC. I think the regular season final a

37
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: lead because they didn't need to win it. Um okay

38
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: uh and had he threw thirty two touchdown passes, five interceptions,

39
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: okay yards almost four thousand. Peyton manning this he's kind

40
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: of the outlier. He only only started nine games that

41
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: the year that was his last year was super He

42
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: won a super Bowl. Nine games, he threw, threw nine

43
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, seventeen interceptions yards. I mean he was shot, yeah,

44
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: but he won the super Bowl, won the Super Bowl

45
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: and good defense and right far in two thousand eight,

46
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: played in all sixteen games, twenty two touchdown passes, twenty

47
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: two interceptions. That's who he was. Thirty d yards for

48
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: the vikings of his TD interception ratios horrid, and he

49
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: has a ton of touchdowns. Yeah, but you know that's

50
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: still okay Dawson. Uh, he was done at that point.

51
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: Eight starts, uh through fift hundred yards, seven touchdowns, thirteen

52
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: interceptions and you say only played half the year though,

53
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: so he almost doesn't qualify rivers last years two touchdowns,

54
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: eleven interceptions. And then he had a very good year. Yeah.

55
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: And then finally Warren Moon yards thirty three touchdown passes,

56
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: fourteen interceptions. And you gotta remember the interception thing. Different

57
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: numbers were bigger even far if it doesn't seem like

58
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: that long ago, but the interceptions were a lot more

59
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: prevalent than The rules were a little easier on the

60
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: defense back then too, and same with the quarterbacks taken

61
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: a beating. Interesting. I mean, first of all, those are

62
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: some awesome names. I mean, most of those guys are

63
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: Hall of famers, you know. I mean, it's not outside,

64
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: it's not Flute is really the outlier. Yeah, I mean

65
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: you would think, like Vinny Testaverdy or Carrie Collins or

66
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: one of those they hung around that long, but they

67
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: didn't start and keep it up. They weren't. Yeah, right, right, right,

68
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: So I think that's promising for Ben all in all.

69
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if you took the average of those years

70
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: and gave it to Ben and adjusted for you know,

71
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: the era, I think you'd probably take it. But I

72
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: actually have higher hopes for him than a lot of

73
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: things you just mentioned there. To be honest with you,

74
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think he has a better year

75
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: than Rivers did last year? I thought Rivers had a

76
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: good year. I mean, Rivers had a very solid year

77
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: last year. And I think roethlis Roethlisberger had a better

78
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: year last year than Rivers. Right, he was the better

79
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: quarterback last year, and I think he think that's true.

80
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: He's got better weapons around him. I think he'll have

81
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: a better year this year. I mean, just thinking about Rivers.

82
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean, and they're not the same style of quarterback,

83
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: but they are the same draft class. Having the hem

84
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: Hinz and throwing it to Taylor as much as they did,

85
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: who wasn't considered a receiving back at this stage of

86
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: his career, like Nausey is, was really helpful to him,

87
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: and that's one of his specialties. That defense wasn't as

88
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: good as Pittsburgh's, you know, so I think if you

89
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: get a two thousand, twenty Rivers year out of Ben,

90
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: you wouldn't double digit games. Yeah, I mean, I think

91
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: you'll be in the in the mix for sure. Hard

92
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: to play against. Ben's mile. Rivers a risk taker too.

93
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: I mean, as long as the interception and mistake numbers

94
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: aren't overwhelming, I think you'll be okay, you know. I

95
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: mean again, I don't think he's gonna have a top

96
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: ten type of season. And that's a lot to ask,

97
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, and they realized he can't carry

98
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: the team on his back to the degree he did

99
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: for almost all of his career. But if he's not

100
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: hurting the team with picks and bad you know, putting

101
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: the defense and in holes, I think they'll be tough

102
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: to play against every week. Yeah, I think so. And

103
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: you know the other start. The other part of that

104
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: is they have great defense, right, better than indies, and

105
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 1: indies was good and probably better than just about anyone

106
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: who listed there. Well maybe not the Broncos that year

107
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: with the big banning wanted you know, right, I mean

108
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: we saw with Brady last year, like Brady's really good.

109
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not killing Brady. I always feel like

110
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: I am on this show. But the Bucks d was

111
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: the super Bowl chair, right, the Stealers could be definitely

112
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: on that level. Speaking of great defenses, we've got some

113
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: breaking news. Yeah, breaking news left or right on this

114
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: show today. It's hard to keep up. At the moment.

115
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: T J. Watters signed. How about that? How about that?

116
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: Lock it up? According to Ian Rappaport, the deal is

117
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: four years, a hundred and twelve million dollars. That's an extension,

118
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: so he's got this year and then four years after that.

119
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: It's realistically, it's a five years, eighty million dollars guaranteed

120
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: it signed signing, he is the newest highest paid defensive

121
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: player in the NFL. So all the people out there

122
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: saying they're cheap, they won't keep shut up. A right

123
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: right knock at a number one, number one, the highest

124
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: paid defense player in the league. Great, eighty million guaranteed,

125
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: you said, eighty million. Wow, I'm sure we don't know

126
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: the exact details of the contract, you know, how the

127
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: cap pits every year and all those type of things.

128
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: But congrats to him, first of all. I mean it

129
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: sends a great message to the team. We talked about

130
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: this a little bit yesterday that if you're an elite

131
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: player and you keep getting better and you do all

132
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: the right things, and you're a massive asset this team,

133
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: We're not letting you walk. We're not trading you for

134
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: two first round picks or you know, in the Khalil

135
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: Mack or Jamal Adams or one of those type of moves.

136
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna invest in here because we love you, and

137
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: I think the best might be yet to come. I mean,

138
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: he's a tremendous player, but he's still pretty darn young,

139
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, Like, I don't think he's plateau yet. I mean,

140
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: he's right in the in the entering his prime in

141
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: my opinion. Yeah. Yeah, So eighty million guaranteed. Eighty million guaranteed,

142
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: but it's twenty million a year, Yeah, Yeah, right, So

143
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: maybe that's kind of what we thought, right, I mean,

144
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: numbers wise, initial thoughts. Yeah, I mean four year what

145
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: eleven point a hundred and twelve million huh. Okay, through

146
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: the math on, it makes him the highest paid defensive

147
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: player in the NFL in terms of average, not in

148
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: terms of overall package. That's still Khalil mac Okay, yeah, crazy,

149
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: but I mean we talked about this in details million

150
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: dollars or so, that's average, a little bit more than

151
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: what Bosa got. Okay, it adds up, and again it's

152
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: a great indication that the Caps just gonna keep going

153
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: up and that there's money to be spent in this league. Um,

154
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: I bet he's not the highest paid defensive player this

155
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: time next year, you know maybe you know, yeah, there'll

156
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: be somebody else, but that's the going rate and that's

157
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: what you have to pay. So congrats to him. Um,

158
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: so we think he plays Sunday, then imagine, you know,

159
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: we've talked with that last segment that we weren't sure,

160
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, there's a little bit up in the air

161
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: about him, but um he's in and read to roll

162
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: and he's foundational player for a long time. Yeah, and

163
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: you know you knew this was gonna get done. They

164
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: don't let guys of that value walk. And it's been

165
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: rumored for so long, you know, like we even said

166
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: this an hour ago, Like any minute now we may

167
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: have a what you know, announcement and boom, here we go.

168
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: So um, I don't know much more to say about it.

169
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's expected. It would have blown

170
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: me a way of this organization didn't get it done,

171
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: and it was looming throughout the year, and we know

172
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: their policy of not you know, talking throughout the year

173
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. But the fact that it's

174
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: done before opening day is great. We've heard correct me

175
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, But I think it was Cam and

176
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Ben the last two days have kind of come out

177
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: in his camp or you know, lobbying for him a

178
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: little bit that you know it needs to get done.

179
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: So um, great player, great player, and sounds like a

180
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: super hard worker. And I did a video for the

181
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: Steelers today and one of the questions we all answered

182
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: was it was Labs and Charlie Batch and I, you know,

183
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: you're worried about him being a little rusty. I said, dope,

184
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: not even at all. Like he didn't participate much less

185
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: than Hayden Hayward, Aaron Donald. You know, I mean, like

186
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: there's elite defensive players all around the league that participated

187
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: about as much as he did prepping for the season. Right,

188
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: and Labs was talking about he's got fresh legs, you know.

189
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: I mean he should be jumping in, shooting out of

190
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: the gate. Yeah, I mean he should feel pretty good.

191
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: If you don't feel great, I mean, well, good, congratulate.

192
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: I mean it's a huge You just got a massive

193
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: deal that you wanted. I mean, you get the twenty

194
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: million dollars a year, right, right, right, right. People say

195
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: that's quarterback money. It was, it used to be. It was,

196
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: right five six, seven years ago, that was quarterback money.

197
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: Not anymore. I should know this better. But even like

198
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: five six seven years ago, like you talked about, were

199
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: the best defensive players making borderline starting quarterback money, you know,

200
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: the Dalton era. I meant similar, And that's who he

201
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: is and that's who he is, right, So again, not

202
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: going anywhere. I also think it brings good juju to

203
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: the whole team too. I mean I think it's a

204
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: an uplifting situation, without question, yeah, without a doubt. So

205
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: that that deal is done completed, everybody can breathe a

206
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: sigh relief. Now I don't want I don't want to hear.

207
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: Is to go back to your point about you know,

208
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: is he gonna be ready? Um, if he pulls a hamstring,

209
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: it's because he pulled a hamstring, it's not it has nothing.

210
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: He's been working out. It's not like he's been sitting

211
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: on the couch. Yes, those are two things that bother me,

212
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: and they have for years. Is if anyone gets hurt

213
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: that didn't have a quote normal camp, he should have

214
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: been there. It's, you know, his fault. He didn't prepare properly.

215
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: But you don't say that about the guys that get

216
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: hurt that had normal camps. You know, people just get hurt.

217
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean, unfortunates, just the way it goes. And I

218
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: also don't want to hear if he only only has

219
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: ten eleven sacks. Oh, he's not living up to his contract.

220
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: He's getting soft. I mean maintaining elite play, not great play,

221
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: because I am very convinced he will be great. But

222
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: elite play doesn't mean that he's still not worth it.

223
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm not predicting any of those things either.

224
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: I mean most just deal came out when that was

225
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: last year or two years ago? Mm hmmm. I think

226
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: that was last year, the last year, because he and

227
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: Garrett both signed around the same time, right, because I

228
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: remember it was during Hard Knocks, and I think that

229
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: was the one that both l A teams were on

230
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: hard knocks because there was all kinds of yeah, because

231
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: it was COVID stuff going on, and they remember watching

232
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: that shows and everybody was super spaced out and socially

233
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: distanced and they had meetings outside and stuff like that.

234
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was a year ago. Yeah, Yeah, I

235
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: love Bosa. I think wats a better player. It's been

236
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: more consistent, more consistent, more reliable. I mean, they're on

237
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: the same tier though without it Garrett as well, right, Yeah,

238
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean those guys are all great football players. I've

239
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: heard people said, you don't pay you can't pay that

240
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: to an edge rusher. Who else are you gonna pay

241
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: it to if not an edge rusher on your defense? No,

242
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: I think that's why I would pay defensive lineman first

243
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: and foremost. And I think that the Seers have made

244
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: it pretty clear that they stress, you know, the front

245
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: line of the defense more than they do corners. I

246
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: mean Patrick Ramsey, is he worth more than what Maybe

247
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: in some systems, raven system like we talked about, maybe

248
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: they would rather pay Humphrey than Campbell or the dock

249
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: Way or Judahan or one of those guys, but none

250
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: of those players are are what level. I mean to me,

251
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: he's an easy top ten defensive player in the league,

252
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: and if not top two or three, he deserves the money, right,

253
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: And that's that's the cost of doing business. Yeah, I mean,

254
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: you gotta pay somebody, you know, make it. Fitzpatrick said

255
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: today that we talked to him after practice today. He said, yeah,

256
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,239
Speaker 1: I'm watching this pretty closely because this is a situation

257
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to find myself in next year. It's what

258
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: I talked about before. If you don't sign him, if

259
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: you just the people said, don't sign him, can't sign

260
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: him to that franchise tag him at the end of

261
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: the year and franchise tag again. First of all, you've

262
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: taken the franchise tag off the table. You can can't

263
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: use on anybody else, including make a Fitzpatrick right, or

264
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: restructure a deal with with what if you need the

265
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: money or what kind of message are you sending in

266
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: that locker room to the other guys. If you're not

267
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: going to pay that guy, what are you doing? What

268
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: are you in business for it? You gotta reward the

269
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: right people and keep that carrot out there for everyone,

270
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: and it helps you win. You know. Again at two

271
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: years of now, they might go to t J and

272
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: be like, hey, can we move some of your money around? Sure,

273
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: so you can sign something else. You know, we gotta

274
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: try to keep this team viable. The young quarterback is

275
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: looking great, or you know, we want to and again

276
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: franchise them two years in a row. You want that tag,

277
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: you want that in your back pocket. So now I

278
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: like to move. Um, I'm just glad it's done. It

279
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: doesn't shock me at all what the numbers are. It's

280
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: basically exactly what I expected, and I thought i'd be

281
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: done before kickoff. So great, Um, I expect them play

282
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: really well. Any ideas on who the next big ticket

283
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: guy could be in the in the league? Is there

284
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: another does the younger boss to come up soon? He

285
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: was a rookie two years ago? Well but still you

286
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: can you can get quick. You can renegotiate a rookie

287
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: contract after the third year. Yeah, I'm trying to think

288
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: who the defense studs are and Jamal Adams just signed.

289
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: I can't think of a safety or a corner that's

290
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: do really soon. I mean, I guess Humphrey and Jarry

291
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: Alexander and those guys aren't far away. Um Man, I

292
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: should know this. Chris Jones is already making big money.

293
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: The Forest Buckner is making big money as he switches.

294
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: This could hold up for a while. I guess it could.

295
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there's probably someone on the horizon. I'm just

296
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: not thinking of what they go through the draft history

297
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, I mean it's been there's been so

298
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: many great offensive players into the league in recent years

299
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: that I mean, I'm sure in two years young is

300
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: going to surpass that. Oh yeah, young, right, And I

301
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: think Nick Bost if he stays healthy, will surpass it

302
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: just because he's young. Next. I mean, he's on that

303
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: type of path without question. I just need to stay

304
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: on the field and missed all last year. Interesting though,

305
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: so yeah, I guess it's not again not surprising. Deal

306
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: need to get done. The timing works just fine, you know,

307
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: And I don't expect to have any negative ramifications or

308
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: boy he's not in shape. I don't think that would

309
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: be the case at all. Yeah, No, I don't think

310
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: so either. I think he's going to be ready to

311
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: going his His fact is Fitzpatrick said today he's t

312
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: J what, right, right right? You expect him, it's no

313
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: big deal, he said, it's t J what like they

314
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: all know. They say, we've heard Minca, Cam and Ben

315
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: all lobbying for him and are probably thrilled for him.

316
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: And you know, knows how the value he has to

317
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: this team. That's great stuff. Question about that, Yeah, but

318
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: I expect him to reac have it on Sunday too.

319
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna be integral to slow and down

320
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: this Bill's offense. Um, any other breaking news next segment.

321
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what else we can have. I mean

322
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: the mackerel. It's just been flying fast and furious, right right.

323
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: We had all that raven stuff and now what which

324
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: is tremendous and it just shows you. I mean, the

325
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: season is here and things happen quick and you know

326
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: you can't wait to watch football tonight too. Um. Keith

327
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: Butler did say today that he expects what to be

328
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: on something of a pitch count. Um, he's not a

329
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: snap guys usually. Yeah, now I looked it up. When

330
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald signed his big deal a couple of years

331
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: ago after sitting out. Um, he came up for different

332
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: back then though he wasn't in camp. He came in

333
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: and played sixty two sixty two snaps defensively and then

334
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: four snaps on special teams as well. Um, but it's

335
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: a different position. People get mad at what because he

336
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: pulls himself out of games. It's a difference between being

337
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: a defensive tackle and being an and being an outside

338
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: edge rusher. Yeah, I mean, I think there's more steps,

339
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: more steps. You're defensive tackles are going against guys now

340
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: sometimes they obviously get double teams, but they're going against

341
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: guys who are their size, whereas these outside the outside

342
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: linebackers are going against guys who are fifty to sixty

343
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: pounds bigger than them, and then they have to once

344
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: you finally get disengaged from that guy, then you got

345
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: a chase. So I've never looked at that as a

346
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: negative with what Like, if I were writing up a

347
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: a WAT scouting report, it wouldn't be takes himself out

348
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: of games, not in every snap player. I don't see

349
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: that at all. I mean, if he's it's better that

350
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: you do. Then if you're out there huffing and puffing

351
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: and not yourself and if you can sit out to

352
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,239
Speaker 1: plays and get back to great and stealers can deal

353
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: with it now. I mean we talked about Highsmiths injury situation.

354
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: We'll see where that's at. But having Ingram around and

355
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: even if Jones has to play six snaps a game,

356
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: so I mean he could I think he can be

357
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: fine there. Yeah right, um, but big big news Steelers

358
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: getting T J. Watson again a four year, hundred and

359
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: twelve million dollar contract. It kind of flies in the

360
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: face of everybody, the players in that locker room. We're

361
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: all lobbying for it. Cam Heyward did this morning, Ben

362
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger did yesterday. I mean, there's probably a lot of guys.

363
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: I can remember back when Lamar Woodley signed his deal

364
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: and he did so a training camp and he came

365
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: over talked to us outside. We're in Latrobe and he

366
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: came over and talked to us outside the cafeteria, and

367
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: the guys. The amount of guys who were coming over

368
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: to him to congratulate him while while we're talking to him,

369
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: even just those a few minutes. Again, you see the

370
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: repercussions that has in the locker room. They all like

371
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: to see the good players get they see the guys

372
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: in their locker room get paid. Yeah, I mean they're

373
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: happy for their friend. They're happy that they keep a

374
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: good player to give you a better chance to win

375
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: games and win the super Bowl. But we all have

376
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: a selfish strain to us too, and look at and say, good.

377
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to be on a team where they're

378
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: shipping out the guys went. I want to be on

379
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: the pirates, you know, right when you get expensive gone.

380
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: You know, that's not a situation that I want to

381
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: be in. You know, so if if what got it,

382
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 1: maybe I won't get to that level. But you know

383
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: I keep progressing and exceeding expectations and I'm a high

384
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: level starter. Well I'm gonna be here for a long time.

385
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: And my family likes that too. You know. People forget

386
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: about that kind of stuff, Like these people live here now,

387
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, like that family's entrenched and you don't want

388
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: to move all over the place. No you don't. And

389
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: you know that's one thing I You know, the Steelers

390
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: have made a couple of trades and recent made several

391
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: trades in recent years about guys. Uh for a guy

392
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: of veteran players who quite a few, Yeah, it's been

393
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: more movement with that of the world. And yeah it

394
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: made two this year with Schobert and uh a killer

395
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: weather specs. Um, it's always interesting to me, Like, you know,

396
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: you see, Schobert had been with Jacksonville year, Witherspoon had

397
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: just signed a deal with that. You think that you're okay,

398
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna put down roots here, and all of

399
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: a sudden, boom, it's taken out from under you. This

400
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: takes that off the table for t J one. We're

401
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: seeing that even more where players that just get signed

402
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: aren't off the market necessarily, even like I know, the

403
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: Texans are a strange situation and not doing the same

404
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: as any other team, but they trade for Lawson, not

405
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: Carl Lawson, the other one, and trade a linebacker McKinney

406
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: for him and then trade loss in a month later

407
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: to the Jets. You know. And here's another late breaking news.

408
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: This isn't big, but Davante Freeman is now on the

409
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: Ravens practice squad like the brand name guys though, you know,

410
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: so we'll see. I mean, I don't think he has

411
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: anything left either. I'm sure some people will read them like, wow,

412
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman was available that the answer to their problems

413
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: is solved. That. I don't believe that at all. Plus

414
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: not those guys play special teams, you know, Left Bells

415
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: and the Davante Freeman's and Girlies and Peterson's of the world.

416
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: You know you're a lead back or you're nothing to

417
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: fear of those guys. Yeah really, I mean, you know,

418
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: it goes back to that situation with the Ravens are

419
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: and if there's if they go into a game with

420
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: Levian Bell and DeVante Freeman is our top two backs

421
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: at some point this year. They don't make anything happy

422
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: at all. They don't have any kind of bursts left

423
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: that I've seen. I mean, everyone is allowed to get better,

424
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: as we say, but I think the ship has sailed

425
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: on both those guys. Again, they don't help on special teams.

426
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: They're okay receivers, but they're not dangerous ones anymore. And

427
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: those are the type of guys who want to play

428
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: against in this league, right, Yeah, for sure. Um, big news.

429
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: Congrats the wat And it's been a big, big year

430
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: in the Watt family too. You know, JJ moves news teams,

431
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: and you've seen him in a new home too, And

432
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm site that we don't talk about it anymore. I

433
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: really thought this is a foregone conclusion for a month

434
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: now and just kind of waiting to announce it. But

435
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad we're not gonna have to deal with it

436
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: from this point on. And I am curious how it

437
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: will affect the cap the next couple of years. You

438
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: know what's this capitt that next year. I'm sure it's significant,

439
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: but they're gonna still have a ton of money, more

440
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: than enough money to get everything done yet, including a

441
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: new quarterback if need be. I mean, I don't think

442
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: we've had this conversation a lot. And again I don't

443
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: know the details of the contract, but I do know

444
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: what their cap spaces next year, and it's immense. I

445
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: don't think this makes it impossible for them to go

446
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: sign an expensive quarterback if they so choose, or trade

447
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: for one or whatever their approaches, or bring back band

448
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: at a good number, you know what I mean. So

449
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't think this handcuffs their quarterback fluidity. No, I

450
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: don't think so either. Um, but yeah, interesting stuff. We're

451
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: going to take a break. He is Matt Williamson. I'm

452
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: Dale Lally. You're listening to the drive here on Steelers

453
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: Nation Radio. We'll be back with the fantasy football focus

454
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: right after this. We get a game to talk about tonight,

455
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: no doubt. Absolutely, let's do that right after this
