1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. A

3
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: welcome back on Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson. It

4
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: is Power Ranking Day around the NFL, as we do

5
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: every week. We'll go over Dan Hanss rankings Power rankings

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: here on NFL dot com. See where the Steelers were

7
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: this morning myself, because it's been about a month. You

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: sent that to there, um, so you can do you

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: have your copy of them there, We'll see what I do.

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: I actually have my laptop with me about that? How

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: about that? That's a rarity for people. Don't now how

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: much you agree with Mr Hands is here? I will say.

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: And when I did, mind, I was very crunched for time.

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: So they were like the rough draft boom tournament be done.

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: So I might look at him a second time and

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: be like, I'm a little low on these guys are

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: too high on that one, right, right, right, we're going

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: thirty two, one, two to one. Okay, he's got the

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: Houston Texans now at thirty two. Miserable performance they just got.

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: That's back to back shutout and back to back shutout

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: they played Bah They've had two shutouts in the last

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: three games since playing the Steelers. Right right, right right,

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo's defense is pretty good, is really good, and they're

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: squashing people and it's gonna be a while untill we

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: bring them up. Yeah, but yeah, Houston I think is

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: pretty obviously Davis Mills. You have to put in there

27
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: with Davis Mills at quarterback. Yeah, that's a thing. If

28
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor is a quarterback, they they at least score

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: last in that game. I would imagine that's when when

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: when people talk about Roethlisberg's but he's the worst quarterback

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: in the league right now, Davis Mills is starting games. Yea,

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: there shouldn't be I could we could go through this

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: as we do this and say, is that quarterback better

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: or worse than Roethlisberger? That when I know it is worse, Well, yeah,

35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: he's he's in over his head and there I don't

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: know if they win another one at thirty one down

37
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: four spots he has the Lions. Okay, I wasn't that

38
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: hard on the Lions. There's four teams here, I think

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: that are all in the same realm. So much chunked

40
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: it up though against the Bears they did and I

41
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: thought that was a game they could win. I did too.

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: I mean they're not gonna win many this year either.

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, there are the two winless teams right well, no, right,

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is the other is the windless team with Detroit Detroit?

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Oh and four. Would you take Jared Goff right now?

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: Is your quarterback over Ben Roethlisberger? Um, yeah, it's I

47
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: mean he needs a lot around I mean, he would

48
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: really struggle behind that offensive line, he would. I mean,

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: we'll get to the Browns, you know, Vikings conversation, But

50
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: those two bows showed that they need a lot around

51
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: them too. I mean like there's a tier of these

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: guys that are dependent on their surroundings, you know, and

53
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: Goff is the epitome of that. I mean, when times

54
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: were good with the Rams, he was pretty good. If

55
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: everything's perfect, he looks great. Yeah, absolutely at thirty up

56
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: a spot. The Jacksonville Jaguars, all right, them as already one.

57
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: There's weird uh coaching things going on there. Again. They

58
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: should have won that game last Thursday, and I too,

59
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: I mean they were, they were the better team for

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: most of the I think Lawrence is encouraging though. I

61
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: mean the young quarterbacks in general rebounded this week. You know,

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: not Davis Mills, but I mean the first round guys,

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: you know, so there's hope. I think there might be

64
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: a coaching change soon though. Yeah. Uh. At twenty nine

65
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: is the Chicago Bears at two and two the Bears.

66
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: I couldn't put the Jets much higher. I had the

67
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: Jets to thirty. They won a game, but I thought

68
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: the bottom four. I have Detroit at twenty nine, the

69
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: Jets at thirty, Jacksonville thirty one, Houston thirty two. I

70
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: think all those teams are the bottom there their own tier,

71
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: al right. I can't put Chicago in that low. He

72
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: has the Jets at Yes, they beat the Titans. Shame

73
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: on the Titans, They're right, Shame on the Titans. I

74
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: don't care if they didn't have any wide receivers available

75
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: for that game and they had to put defensive linemen

76
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: out there to run routes. Well, you got Derrick Henry

77
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: against the Jets offense that hadn't scored a point in

78
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: the first half in the game, and they gave up

79
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: Titans d needs to be better than that. Yeah, I

80
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: talked about them in our Fantasy Focus last week that

81
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: they were good when the stream because they have the

82
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Jets and then they play the Jaguars this week. No, No,

83
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: it's yeah the Falcons my twenty seven and twenty eight,

84
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm a little hard on these two. I

85
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: had the Giants at seven. I had Miami at eight.

86
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: They're pretty bad offenses, Jets like that now, Yeah, miserable

87
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: and I think that's the worst their line in the league.

88
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: And it shows up over and over. I mean, Ken,

89
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, isn't in trouble, can't wait? Uh, the big

90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: matchup this week in London, it's Falcons and Jets. That's

91
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: the way to put your best product out their NFL.

92
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I mean, no one in the

93
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: offseas and thought that was gonna be good. Yeah. That

94
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: that's just that's just bad planning by the end. That's

95
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: just like nobody cares about these two teams. Let's send

96
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: them over to to Europe. Yeah. They just think that

97
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: the Europeans don't know any better, I guess, and they

98
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: might be nice to bad football. Yeah. I did Atlanta

99
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 1: twenty six, so they're not far off here. They've shown

100
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: signs of life the last two weeks. Yeah, that's why

101
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: I was a little bit more kind to them at

102
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: twenty six, down five spots to Dolphins. We're in the

103
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: same neighborhood there. Yeah they're bad. They're bad. Yeah, I

104
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: don't think they have I think they're playoff hopes are

105
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: squashed already. Yeah they were supposed that was everybody's They

106
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: were a hot pick. The Cults were a hot pick. Yeah. Yeah,

107
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: that's uh. At down three spots the Philadelphia Eagles. I

108
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: had them at twenty four. I had the Bears of

109
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: Looking at this, maybe I'm a little too kind to

110
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: the Bears, but they have a defense. Yeah, it's four

111
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: up six spots after a big, big win the Giants.

112
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm not putting the Giants at four about the chan

113
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 1: than anything else. Right. The Saints, from my heart, seemed

114
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: to rank by the way. So I don't know what

115
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: to win over them means or a loss of them means.

116
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: Right now, I don't know what the Saints are, Okay,

117
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: I mean, Daniel Jones played pretty well. Kwan looks like

118
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: se Kwon. I think they're trending the right direction, but

119
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they win many round robin tournaments against

120
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: the tea, you know, right, right right exactly, because it's

121
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: twenty three at two and two. The Washington football team.

122
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: I was kinder to Washington than that, and probably too

123
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: kind to, come to think of it. They were down

124
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: eight late against against Atlanta. That was that was Atlanta

125
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: finding yet another way to lose. Taylor Heineken sail on

126
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: touchdown past he had he was like laying on his

127
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: back and just kind of threw the ball up like yeah,

128
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: I hear you there, Um I had. I would pretty

129
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: harsh on the Titans. I had the Titans at twenty three. There,

130
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to double checklist. Yeah, so that's where I'm

131
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: at with on Tennessee. I was hard on those guys.

132
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: It twenty two. He has up a spot the Patriots.

133
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go that. Fine. If the Steelers played

134
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots right now, I'd picked the Steelers, would you.

135
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it would be a low scoring type of

136
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: game because New England is not gonna do what what

137
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: you need to do to challenge of Steelers, which just

138
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: kind of throw the ball down the field a little bit.

139
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: They're not gonna know. They would not score many points.

140
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: I mean that's I think that's absolutely true. Um yeah,

141
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: Steels twenty two. Titan to see Ayree Philly at twenty four.

142
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I mentioned it. Twenty one. He's

143
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: got up five spots. The Colts, I have them a

144
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: twenty one as well. They're not very good though, no,

145
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean there they could get better. You know, they

146
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: get Braydon Smith and Nelson and some of these guys.

147
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: Backson just went on iring back anytime soon, they're right,

148
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: and I think went will turn into a pumpkin and

149
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: hasn't played great anyway. It's twenty he has in the

150
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: same spot that they were last week. The Steelers, that's right,

151
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: New England. So there's only two spots difference that we

152
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: were flopped on those with Indian between, I mean they're

153
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. If Indie, the Patriots and the Steelers

154
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: had a big round robin tournament, it would probably be

155
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: pretty even right this minute in my opinion. At nineteen

156
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: Dallas only a spot. The Saints okay, that's right, had

157
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: Washington and lost at home to the Giants. You should

158
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: move down more than a spot. They don't throw the

159
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: ball well at all. Again, they were my hardest team

160
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: to rank. I had the Saints at eighteen so I

161
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: was even kinder than that, and I had Washington at nineteen.

162
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: Do we think the Saints are worse than Patriots, Colt Steelers,

163
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeah I do. I don't know where to put the

164
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: Saints during that group. I don't know that they're the

165
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: best of that group. I mean, I guess maybe the

166
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: record says there two and two. But they have a

167
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: great win against green Bay, but that I mean, it

168
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: was a great win, but it's fluky. I mean, they're

169
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: so terrible or great. I didn't know where to what

170
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: to do with the Suns. I like their d but

171
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: it's not like the Patriots and Seals done with defenses.

172
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: You know. It's eighteen down three spots the Titans, So

173
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: I was harder on that. I mean, I'm talking about

174
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: right now. I think twenty three will be the lowest

175
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee ever goes for me. But that's miserable, man. Yeah,

176
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: that's bad. That's bad. It's seventeen only down a spot

177
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings. When the Bengals there, I'm not gonna quite

178
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: a believer on the Bengals. I have the Vikings at sixteen,

179
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals ahead of the Vikings. They beat the Vikings

180
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: and they're three and one. I guess, I mean that's

181
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: that whole logic of Again, I only did this. I

182
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: think that that was pretty clear cut though. You had

183
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: a one in three team and the three and one team,

184
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: and the three and one team beat the one in

185
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: three team. Alright, they piping it in the spreadsheet. Now

186
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: Minnesota goes a seventeen, since he only moves up to sixteen. Okay,

187
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: that'll save you some grief. Yeah, you're right. That's a

188
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: lot of tweets out on have to hear about. It's

189
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: sixteen down four spots. The Denver Broncos sixteen, okay, so

190
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten to since yet. I have Denver fourteen, okay, okay,

191
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: but I guess a lot of that that that's with

192
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: Bridgewater quarterback, which is up in the upper at fifteen,

193
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: up four spots, the Bengals. Okay, I already mentioned the Bengals.

194
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: San Francisco is my fifteenth team right now. At fourteen

195
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: down a spot is the Carolina Panthers. Okay, we're not

196
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: far off. I'll get to them in a second. But

197
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: I have Denvered fourteen. San France at fift okay, at

198
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: thirteen down six spots San Francisco. Okay, again, I have

199
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: Carolina there, so we're all in the same neighborhood. I mean,

200
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: Carolina had a tough loss, but I think they're real.

201
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have a winning record this year.

202
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: At twelve up five spots, Seattle, me too, how about that?

203
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: About that? Yeah, there's a big win at eleven down

204
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: two spots the Raiders. How about that? You che copied his,

205
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: he copied mine. How about this at ten down two

206
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: spots Cleveland. I was kinder to Cleveland than that. Wow,

207
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: that's harsh on Cleveland. I don't think they looked very

208
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: He hadn't moved him all season long. They were at

209
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: eight the entire seat like he hadn't moved him one bit,

210
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: and now he moves him down after a win. But man,

211
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: they just they're they're best dominant win. Their best game

212
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: that they've played this year was in Kansas City. It

213
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: was well, especially the offense. Yeah, I mean the defense

214
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: has been ridiculously good two weeks in a row. I

215
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: mean it was against Denver and it was against you

216
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: know Fields, his first start. I still I didn't know

217
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: he had the Browns at eight the whole time there

218
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: at eight for me at eight at nine down eight

219
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: spots the Rams, that's a little harsh. I mean that's

220
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: had a bad loss for them. I am highering the

221
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Rams than that. I think of the Rams play A

222
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: lot of these teams are about to mention a hundred

223
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: eleven times they win the series at eight down two spots,

224
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City drops two spots, but he only dropped him, like,

225
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: he only dropped them eight. He only dropped the four spots.

226
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: Like last week when they when they lost their second

227
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: or second game in a row, it's two in a row.

228
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: He dropped them down from like one to FOURD two six.

229
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: Now that you got to Philadelphia and win, and he

230
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: dropped some two more spots. Their offense was awesome, their

231
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: defense is horrible. Defense is bad. Yeah, it's gonna be

232
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: a while till I bring up the Chiefs. I mean,

233
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: I know that this is not their typical year, but

234
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: they're better than some teams. He's gonna mention I would

235
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: say that, Yeah. Uh at seven up three spots the Chargers. Okay,

236
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: so I guess I'm trying to keep up here. We

237
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: both had Vegas at eleven. I have Baltimore at ten.

238
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean I think he's way higher on Baltimore than

239
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: I and that's a nice way. I think a lot

240
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: of people are way higher on Baltimore than that should

241
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: be right now. I think even last week we said, boy,

242
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: Baltimore is like four, and somebody's rights, I'm not that.

243
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: I had Dallas at nine, and I admit I might

244
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: be a little low on them. I'm impressed with that.

245
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: I think Dallas. If Baltimore and Dallas played ten times,

246
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: I think Dallas wins a series. I had Cleveland above

247
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: Dallas at eight. Let see, I think the same thing

248
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: they're I think Dallas is really good. I think Dallas's

249
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: offense will be a huge problem for their defense is

250
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: active and get sacks and takes them all away. And

251
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: I like Dallas a lot. Dallas was Cleveland's a tough

252
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: one for me. Eight spots to six Dallas, Okay, I

253
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: respect that. That's pretty good. At five holding steady is

254
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Okay again, I'm lower on the Ravens. I'll

255
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: catch up here. I dropped green, Babe. What do you

256
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: think about seven? What do you think about hardball running

257
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: a play on the last play of the game to

258
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: make sure that they got a quote unquote record. Did

259
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: nobody gave a crop up about I respected it. I'm

260
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: sure we're going to disagree on that, and I'm sure

261
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: every student fans like that's terrible. I hate the Ravens,

262
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: but I don't care who. I don't care whose record

263
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: it was. I don't care about that. If he handed

264
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: the ball off to somebody, if he had somebody other

265
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: than Lamar Jackson doing it, Okay, you ran your quarterback,

266
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: you put your quarterback at harm in Harm's way. I

267
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: didn't look at it from that angle. I just looked

268
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: at it. I speared Lamar Jackson in the back on

269
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: that play. Yeah, he's out for a game, two games,

270
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, whatever it is, because he

271
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: had a back injury coming into the game. What are

272
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: you doing for a record. It's like, you'll never hear

273
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: anybody talk about the the consecutive hundred yard rushing game record.

274
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: It's not about that strip. I agree with something magical

275
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: about that, though. I mean, I'm not gonna take it back.

276
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, he must have a pulse of his team.

277
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: They must care about it. So he kept it going,

278
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: you know, and and he didn't. You're winning again and

279
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: don't do use your quarterback quarterback. I'm right, but no,

280
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with did he learn doing

281
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: records or throwing guys? You know? And to me, it's

282
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: similar to if this guy gets a thousand yards, he

283
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: gets a million dollar bonuses, that's fine, you know, like

284
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: those kind of things that they have bonuses built into

285
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: the offensive lineman's contract and then run for you know,

286
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: his locker room must care about it. Yeah, I don't know.

287
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty cheesy to do that with your quarterback.

288
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have done with the quarterback. That's it's pretty stupid.

289
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: He's lucky. You know. If Lamar Jackson gets hurt on

290
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: that play, their season is over. I mean, to that argument,

291
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: is that much different than Deante's injury at the end

292
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: of the game when you know, and I was right, right, right,

293
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: what are you doing? No? I think going for the

294
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: records cool? I mean, that's people care about that stuff.

295
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: Do you and I care about it? No? But I

296
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: think his team would and he has a great pulse

297
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: was team. So he also the same guy that also

298
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, got J K. Dobbins hurting a meaningless preseason

299
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: game because well, we gotta you know we can keep

300
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: our our winning streak alive into cares right, right, right?

301
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Yeah, that one's not so smart.

302
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: Good football coach, but I questioned his uh sanity sometimes.

303
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: I have Baltimore ten. Yeah, I think you're probably more

304
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: in line with that than somewhere between five and ten.

305
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: Certainly not five. Their defense was really good against denver

306
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Um even when Teddy was in. They're a good football team.

307
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: I absolutely think so, but there their lines. Not great team.

308
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: I don't think the fifth best team. I mean, there's

309
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: a handful of teams I think are clearly better. Green

310
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: Bay wins against the Steelers. He drops him a spot

311
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: from three to four. I have them at seven. I

312
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: think they're fine, but I don't know they're a contender.

313
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean this stuff matters, of course, but they are

314
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: all Rogers. I mean it's it's a very central offense,

315
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: like there's none of the like tanyan there. Right, He's

316
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna disappear and there's nothing there. And now they did

317
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: start using Randall cob blast against the Steelers, which and

318
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: four of his five catches came on third downs, which

319
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: was huge. That was big Situationally, he was very potent, absolutely,

320
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: but it's all Rogers and Adams and not a lot else. No.

321
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Jones is a good player, and I mean

322
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: Rogers really elevates a bad line right now. He's a superstar.

323
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: But I don't know that they're a Super Bowl contender. No,

324
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't know either that they are either. That defense

325
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: is pretty bang up to uh at three? Up a spot, Buffalo. Okay,

326
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: I'm getting lost here at Green Bay at seven. I

327
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: had Chargers at six? Did he already say the Charger?

328
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: He had the Chargers at seven? Okay, he has not

329
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: mentioned Arizona yet, right, No, I have them at five.

330
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: Ok alright, so we're I thought you were in three here,

331
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm a three. He has you already mentioned Kansas City?

332
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: Have Kansas City at two? Two? He is Tampa Bay.

333
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: I have Tampa at four. That means that one he

334
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: has Arizona. Who's your number one? Buffalo? Yea Buffalo moving

335
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: up to the number one. Here's my top five. The

336
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: Cardinals up ten spots in fact, to number the five.

337
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: And thought that was pretty generous. I mean they're not

338
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: the best team in the league. I mean, I'm really

339
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: impressed with what they're doing. I think they Kyler's the

340
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: m v P right now. I mean five is pretty

341
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: good praise. I mean they're good on both sides as one.

342
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: He's trying to get some attention there. I mean, they're

343
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: not better than the Chiefs or Tampa or the Rams

344
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: in my opinion. I know they just get that logic.

345
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: I have the Rams at three. Here, here's my top five,

346
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo one, Kansas City too. You can't tell me Kansas

347
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: City is a dog in Arizona right now? Oh way, way,

348
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: the Rams are three. They got to turn around Thursday night.

349
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: They could lose two in a row. I got Tampa four,

350
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: Arizona at five. Okay, another problem with that. Yeah, Buffalo

351
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: is not a clear cut number one though. I mean

352
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: they've beat some cream Puffs, but they've flaughtered them. Yeah.

353
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: And they lost those Steelers and they lost the Steelers. Yeah.

354
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: And their offense isn't quite right yet putting up a

355
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: lot of numbers. But their defense, defense, defensive playing well,

356
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. It would be your one. Uh.

357
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: I would probably still say Tampa Bay. I had no

358
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: problem with that either. Their corners are a real problem.

359
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: It's a problem. But yeah, but I don't hold they're

360
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: not super impressive. Win in New England against them, Brady

361
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: was a little jittery and super emotional and that reigned

362
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: like crazy and Patriots shortened, shortened the game, and they won,

363
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: and they won. They won. You know, everything went New

364
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: England's way at home, and they still found a way

365
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: and they still weren't as good enough, probably because Tom knew,

366
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: he knewere all the microphones were hidden in the locker room.

367
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: And frankly, I mean, if him and a b connect

368
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: on one of those two last passes, they cover and

369
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: everyone's happy, and oh they want to you know, they

370
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: were the better team, and they are very much in

371
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl conversation. I mean, I still I still

372
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: think the Bills are good. I still think the Rams

373
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: are good. Yeah. I'm not worried all about the Rams. Yeah.

374
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: Um yeah. Is Arizona top five team for you? They

375
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: were fifth? I mean they're playing well, you can't take

376
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: that away from there. They're winning the games that are

377
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: on their schedule. Would you have them over the Packers? Um,

378
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: they would be a real problem for the Packers right

379
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: now there. I had them over the Packers, Yeah, I

380
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: think so. How about the Chargers maybe I'm a little

381
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: bias with watching the Chargers last night, but they were

382
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: six for me. The Chargers are a really good team.

383
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: I would put Arizona over the Chargers right now, sing

384
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: the five Chargers at six, Okay, I had both those

385
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: teams over the af C North. Yeah, THEFC North has

386
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: been I don't think you can look at it and

387
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: say that you know, they haven't been a disappointment. I mean,

388
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: all those teams are three and one, but the Browns

389
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: and Ravens. I'm not saying that their records fraudulent, but

390
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: they're not a dominant you had to pick, if you

391
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: had to pick right now, who were the two a

392
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: f C teams that make the the a f C

393
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: Championship game Buffalo and Kansas City? Yeah? Yeah, I mean

394
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: in a heartbeat, not even don't have to think about it.

395
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: And frankly, I think the Chargers have a better chance.

396
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: That's what I was just gonna say. If I had

397
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: to pick a third team to sneak in, there would

398
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: probably be the Chargers right now, and I would even

399
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: have the Browns ahead of the Ravens. But I think

400
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: who would I trust to get the SC championship would

401
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: be Baltimore over Cleveland. If I had to pick one

402
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: of those two, Baker is a problem. He's a big problem.

403
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times we've said this on

404
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 1: the air, but Steeler fans, you better hope they give

405
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: him a ton of money. That they're almost in a

406
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: no win situation right now because they win ten or

407
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: eleven games this year, which it looks like they're probably

408
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: probably will, you almost have to pay him because the

409
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: other the other problem is if you don't pay him,

410
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: but then you and then you gotta go find another

411
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: quarterback and you're not gonna be in position to draft one.

412
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they're trading for Aaron Rodgers or they're

413
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: not gonna have an early pick. And frankly, if you're

414
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: that if you're that owner and you walk around that

415
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: stadium and there's that jersey that has Couch and McCown

416
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: and Man's oll and and you finally have one that

417
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: doesn't stink, you gotta tell your GM we're not going

418
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: fishing again. You know, I don't want what's behind door

419
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: number two make it work. And I don't think that's

420
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: good enough. I think that's quarterback purgatory. I think you're

421
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: Minnesota Land. Yeah, their problem is that they're not going

422
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: to be able to afford to surround Mayfield with not

423
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: like the town like they have now because all of

424
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: a sudden, now he's gonna be making the checks. Are okay,

425
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: maybe maybe you don't pay him forty million dollars a year,

426
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: but you're probably gonna have to pay him upwards a

427
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: thirty Is he gonna take thirty right the quote unquote

428
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: hometown discount. No, he's gonna be I mean Kirk Cousins

429
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: making thirty five. Say, I know I'm a star. I'm

430
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: on all these progessive commercials. Don't watch TV on the

431
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: face of your franchise the draft, Ye, right, he's gonna

432
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: get forty And that's a bad business movie. But you

433
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: want a lot of choice, Yeah, you can't. Again, you

434
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: can't find one when you're drafting in the twenties. Yeah,

435
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: I think Kirk Cousins like a thirty five million dollar

436
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: capit next year. It's ridiculous, and he's gonna get it.

437
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: And what do you do? And you win eight games

438
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: again and you know, yeah, it's it's definitely a problem.

439
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: And and so yeah, like Lamar is a much easier decision. Yeah,

440
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't. It's an easier decision, but I don't know that.

441
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to give him on my homes contract

442
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: ten years, not an eight or ten year deal or

443
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: whatever Alan got. Either. I'd give him a three and

444
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: make him very lucrative. But he might not want three.

445
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: He might not want three. I mean he's gonna say

446
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: I want six or eight or whatever I want. I

447
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: want what my Homes and Alan got. I want to

448
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: be able to get out of it after three. But

449
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: I will give you a lot of money up front. Yeah,

450
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: but then again that hamstrings your you financially. It doesn't

451
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: allow you to fix some of the issues that you

452
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: have to be honest, if we were sitting here on

453
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: Bengals Nation Radio, they might be positioned that they could

454
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: see a path where two years from now they're the

455
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: dominant team of the division, or a year from now

456
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: even you know they're not in bad shape if they

457
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: can trust them. So I'm just gonna say, don't really

458
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: get coach either won his second road game of his

459
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: career last week or something. Yeah, in year number three,

460
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: they were right, so you know they have the resources. Again,

461
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: that's why you know when the guy mentioned that, you know,

462
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: I lived through this when the Steelers through the eighties

463
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: and all that stuff with the Steelers and and and

464
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: the Tom Zack years and that kind of stuff makes

465
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: you think that the Steelers are suddenly going to forget

466
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: how to draft. That's one of the funniest things in

467
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: this whole conversation to me, because all of us old

468
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: folks like myself remember those years. That's exactly what's gonna

469
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: happen again. We're gonna they're gonna go get Kent Graham

470
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: and Tom Zack and all those guys. I mean, like

471
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: they may give the world for the first pick in

472
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: the draft or Watson. Like people think they know what

473
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: to this organization is going to do. They haven't been

474
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: quarterback shopping in two decades. You have no clue what

475
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. You know, by the way they have

476
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: changed their philosophy and some of the things that they

477
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: they used to write, we're never trading up, Well they

478
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: did that to get de Bush. Never trading a first

479
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: round draft pick for a player. They did that when

480
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: they when they you know, they they've ever been quarterback shopping.

481
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: And a lot of your guys fandoms that you're listening.

482
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: You have no idea what they're gonna do, right, I

483
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: don't either. Yeah, I've covered this team for twenty eight years,

484
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: and no, I don't think they're gonna go. You know,

485
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodger stuff, I don't see happening. I would

486
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: entertain it. I don't know that you're gonna trade for it.

487
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna be getting rid of a thirty

488
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: nine year old quarterback to go get another one. Yeah,

489
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: but this one's great. So was the other one. At

490
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: one point it was. You can see how quickly that

491
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: can fall. And it depends what the cost is. I'm

492
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: not giving up three first but you know, I mean,

493
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm kicking the doors entertaining a first,

494
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: but not I'm not giving up multiple first round draft picture.

495
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: That two's the question for me. And I want to

496
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: watch what I do to or not, because I think

497
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: if you put Aaron Rodgers on this team and signed

498
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: premium left tackle, it's not so don't have to squid

499
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: too hard. It gonna be a premium left tackle available

500
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: in those guys the starter plus somebody in free agency.

501
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean to help the old lie, you know, a

502
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: big well plenty of time to talk about. Let's take

503
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: a break. He is Matt Williamson, I'm Dale Lolly. When

504
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: we return, we'll do the Fantasy football focus. We'll do

505
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: that right after this
