Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
At least is the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt
Williamson on your twenty four to seven Home of the
Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
And we are back. I am Dale Lowly here with
the Matt Williamson. Matt. We haven't done a mock draft.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I was hoping we got two weeks we need to
combines happened. I'm sure these sites have changed some rankings
around my suggestion. Despite what Lab said, I think you
could get a couple guys locked up pretty quick. That's
without he goes without a doubt. Let's go with fields okay,
Christian Kirk okay, and a starting outside corner.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
I'm good with all that.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
I think that's about where we'll be. Yeah, you know
late next week.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Let me ask you this, If that's the case, would
you consider a trade up for one of the defensive linemen.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I don't think the three that I'm definitely taking or there.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
That's what I'm saying. That's why I'm saying that, because,
for example, the Chicago Bears have now taken an interior
offensive lineman. They're not draft in one everybody. All the
drafts that we've been doing before, the Bears were always
taking an offensive lineman.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
And now I don't think that they do. And I
think D lines a D line could be a big
kneed unless they go genty or something weird like.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
That, we're an edge rusher or something like that. Right,
So now I'm looking at just do I want to
maybe move up five splus to get ahead of say Cincinnati.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Oh, there were some landing spots for these guys.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
That I got to go up and get one of
these guys.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Well, let me go down this road too. I'm not comfortable.
I'm on the fence. If I'm comfortable taking Harmon at
twenty one, yeah, I mean, like again, I would use
this analogy. Genie comes out of the bottle today in
the middle young at the beginning of March, would you
trade twenty one for Harmon?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
No, but I'd feel better about it at thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Right, right, right, But when it comes around in the
twenty eyes are off the board. He still might be
my choice. I mean, you know that if it doesn't
go and and my evaluation on him isn't complete either.
Where if a Genie comes out of the bottle, I
would probably take Nolan or Grant to twenty one and
say I'm happy with it. Yeah, you know, I give
it a less than fifty per chance. Are there and

(02:18):
you do? With some needs taken care of? Do we
love those guys?

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Though?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
I don't think that's like trading up for paulam Olive,
you know what I mean? Like they're good prospects, but
are they franchise changing prospects.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't know about that. I think Grant could be.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I love him.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I think he could be the missing ingredient on your defense.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
I mean maybe if he worked out in India, I'd
be like, oh, yeah, he is. Maybe it's just a
little bit out of sight, out of mind. I don't know.
We could play it that way and see how it goes.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Let's see how it goes. Yeah, I've slowed things down.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Okay, I don't want to go, We'll go. I don't
want to give up my second, No.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I'm not interested in that. But if I can give
up a third, maybe make that happen. Maybe think about it. Yeah,
all right, I'm gonna start the draft here. It's gonna
go slow. We can talk about this as it goes.
Travis Hunter goes number one overall, Abdul Carter Mason Graham
at three. That makes things interesting. I asked genty at four,

(03:20):
Will Campbell at five? The Raiders take cam Ward and
make sure Ward's off the board. Membo goes at seven.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
He might go at seven, by the way.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Jehad Campbell goes at eight. Tyler Warren goes at nine. Okay,
the Bears just took Mike Green at ten. San Francisco's
on the clock. This is gonna start being the more
of the offensive line run, I.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Would think, so, I mean, I'm letting it fall from now.
I mean, which there's two still two targets. All right,
I'm gonna resume here.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Torodde Barron going twenty one to eleven, McMillan, Will Johnson,
Colt Stake, Shamar Stewart. Okay, we're at fifteen. Now two guys,
both those guys are available.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
It sounds like, and I'm starting to lean this way too,
if Grant and Nolan were available, would you take Grant?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Now?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
I would take Grant. There's also some off the field
stuff looming with Nolan that I don't even know what
it is.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
I don't even know what it is.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, I don't know if it's good bad. I mean, well,
it's not good. But I don't whatever it is, I
don't know how severe it is. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I mean, I'm I'm letting a ride at this point. Okay, Yeah,
Falcons are on the clock here, They're gonna take it
the end.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Okay, maybe Nolan, somebody that could rush a passer.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Falcons take Kenneth Grant. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna resume your
Cardinals are on the clock. This would be the team
I would move up to go get.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
He see someone that's worth trading up for. I mean,
at this point, we're like seventeen here.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
They're at sixteen. The Bengals are up next.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, he probably falls here. I mean, he probably gets
scooped up in one of these two picks we want
to I'm gonna at least see what Okay, because what
I'm sitting here thinking is if we miss out on
the three D linemen, we're gonna have a conversation of harming.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Verse.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
The best receiver on the board, which could be Golden
Verse probably don't want to go corner there.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
This is saying they'll accept sixteen and one fourteen for
twenty one and eighty five to move up the sixty
eight percent chances that would be accepted. There's a lot
of good d linemen on day two, though, I understand that. Yeah,
that doesn't take me out of the market to go
get it a true nose twn right. I mean, I'm

(05:56):
goingly warm it out to like West, and I'm not
giving away I'm not giving away any picks here. We're
just going up to make sure that we get that guy.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
What's your vote on this, It seems like you're leaning
towards Yes.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
I think I would in this instance.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
I don't know who i'd be thrilled to see get
there other than Nolan. You know, if you if you
stand pat because you already landed or receive Christian Kirk.
I mean, I don't know if I'm using I don't
want to use the first round corner if I landed.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
And I've already signed a cornerback, so i don't need
a first round cornerback. I've already gotten a wide receiver,
so I don't necessarily have a pressing need to go
get another wide receiver.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Like there are some dudes. The two top safeties I'm
a little bit interested in, which is kind of a
weird conversation, but we'll have that later in the week.
I guess all right, let's do it.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
They accepted it, so we're on the clock. Nolan. We
take Walter Nolan and we didn't really give up. No,
it wasn't that much. The get there right, all right?
Okay EGBCA went at seventeen to the Bengals. Okay, wow,

(07:10):
the Cardinals at twenty one. Take Josh Simmons. All right,
I'm gonna speed things up.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Now, Okay, can you do that? Yeah, because we're done
trading up. We might listen to trade downs in round two.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Now, yeah, Now it went in the second rounds. It's
not letting me speed this up. What are you doing here?
Come on, I don't want to do this whole draft
this slowly speed up. It's gonna do this the whole
way through. That's fine.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Who was on the board at twenty one or is
that hard to look at?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Now? I can so. At twenty one you still had Simmons,
Calvin Banks, Malachi Starks, Amari and Hampton, Derek Harmon.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
There were some decent options.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Darius Alexander, and I like Darius Alexander. That's a little rich,
but that's a little rich for me to take in
the first A twenty four year old.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
If he's little old too, who's.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Going to be twenty five and make that the guy
I'm gonna build my line around him, right right, right, Yeah,
I like trying to lay a youth movement here. I'd
like it. You know, if you were two years younger,
i'd like him a lot more. I wouldn't mind taking
him at twenty one.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
And I'd love him to be a Steeler. But at twenty one,
I don't know. If it was thirty, okay, you know,
right right, I would considered Hampton there maybe maybe maybe.
I mean I'm not big on a first round running
back either. Yeah, okay, now I hear you.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
That's the problem with that, that conundrum that you have there.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
If things don't go your way, would you consider Simmons?

Speaker 2 (08:45):
I would consider it.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
You don't know you're gonna pick up Roger Jones fifty year,
which is always comes sooner than you think. Yeah, fatan
who might be an unbelievable guard.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Right. I don't think Simal is going to be in
the mixed ag Okay, we're up here now at fifty three,
the top player available is Shadoor Sanders. It's not gonna happen.
That's not that's not even Yeah, the.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
I have seen him mock the Steelers at twenty one,
which is a totally different conversation. But the next one
is slightly believable.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
The next player available is Alfred Collins. Now that would
be something that would be interesting.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
I'm a big fan. Yeah, I mean back to back.
D Lineman's a little crazy, but okay, they're very different.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, I mean the ones, the ones a true nose
and the other one is in I'm just gonna look.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Here at the top running. I'm curious what else available.
But I would not have a problem with that, or
I would not have a problem with Collins.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
The second round period scatter Boo, Dylan Samson, he doesn't fit, yeah,
Caleb Johnson, Trevon Henderson, R J Harvey, DJ Giddons. DJ
Giddens is kind of I can't use a second round
pick on it, but he's somebody to know. Now. His
workout was mind boggling, his feet were really good, and
he's big. Yeah, that's what's there right now. We don't

(10:02):
have another pick until one fourteen. By the way.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, no, I know we do have.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Two trade offers here. I don't know if I can
take Scattabo.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
I don't like any of those backs there.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, at that spot.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Who are some of the other top availables.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Alpha Colin Scattabo to a Moloa doesn't fit for strepo,
Jack Sawyer, Darian Porter, Jared Ivy, Arianta Ersii, Omar Norman, Lott, Azeri,
A Thomas, Dylan Sampson, Caleb Johnson, Kyle Kinnard, Benjamin Morrison,
Donovan Jackson, Josiah Stewart, Treveon Henderson, Mason Taylor, Jordan Birch,

(10:48):
Cameron Williams, Aussie Tripe.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
I don't I think he's sticking pick callings that. My
two favorite guys are Porter and uh Azar A Thomas
and he drafted a coming. I think they're great values
in the second round, but not if I just signed
an outside cornering right, I have Trice right right?

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, So okay, I think you take them for Collins.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
I don't want to move down too far and lose them.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
No, Okay, So we're that's what we're looking at. So
we've we've really beefed up the defensive line. Yeah, first
two pick, you have fixed your I don't know that
you fixed your defensive line. Well, it's promising but it's yeah,
you like where you're at with that group. Even if
one of the two hits, you're happy about it five years. Yeah, whatever,
chances are both of them I think big defensive linemen

(11:32):
or nose tackle types. I don't know that there's a
lot a high bust rate there. No, they be big
and strong and powerful.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Pretty much translated, right, And I like Cam Hayward to
take both of them around, and hey, this is how
we do things. Running back has to come soon though.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Running back has to be on It almost has to
be our next pick.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Are there are these two close together.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Though we have one fourteen and one twenty two?

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Okay, okay, so yeah, one of these two has to
be a back. In my opinion, I wish you could
speed this thing. I know another receiver wouldn't break my heart.
I mean, right now you're sitting there with Kirk Pickens,
Austin Wilson. Yeah, and I can live with that. But
if you could get me a six or four dude
or a six three guy, I'm interested. I would consider

(12:19):
a project tackle. I mean the William and Mary William Grant,
somebody like that would be somebody I'd think about. Here,
what about a safety slot. Last thing on defense, you
need type guy.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
I would say, I mean, yeah, I need a bigger slot.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah yeah, right right, that's what I mean. Yeah, that's
something I would consider here too. Or quarterback. We're quarterback, yeah,
but definitely a running back as we wanted two.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Since we've gone defense with the first two picks, I
think you almost have to go offense at one, fourteen, one,
twenty two.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
And all those needs I mentioned except for big slot.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
We're offense. Yeah, right, all right, and you can find
those oh yeah yeah slot type players. M R. J.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Harvey just went, yeah, this is taking way too long.
It's gonna be right, But I wanted to be able
to make that move. Yeah yeah. And if you traden up.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Too hard, you do it on the fast movies. It's
like on Turbo. It's just you don't have time to
know you're drinking from Firero's right. Yeah, so a lot
of that one I was a kid. It's one of
my voice is gone right now.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
But there are backs, and would you go back to
back backs? That's fun to say back to back backs? Yeah,
I don't know if I would rate.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
It's not quite like saying Taylor Swift No, that's my favors.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
But I think quarterback and running back are both appealing
in the spot.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, yeah, And I think there'll be some guys there
that we probably like a lot. I would imagine as
we turned through this thing. Speaking of the quarterback stuff,
people weren't enamored with the on field workouts of the
guys no on Saturday. The people the ones that got

(14:04):
the best reviews. First of all, I think Howard probably
gets a bad rap. That guy had to play deep
into he didn't practice any of this stuff, you know,
like he has a lot less time to prepare than others.
But the guys that got good reviews were yours, which
I think he did play through some injuries. And I'm

(14:24):
a little more excited about him now than I was
a month ago because he wasn't the top recruit in
the country for a reason.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
He's not lacking talent. But I'm like, in this neighborhood,
not in the top two round, right who there two
that got good reviews? Mill Roe did, but in.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
The Missouri kid in the Missouri kid didn't show me shock,
Milrod didn't show me anything that you didn't already.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
No, right, exactly, we had this conversation off the air.
He's a good big passer.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
His intermediate and short stuff was bad. It was bad.
He looked pretty throwing the ball down the field. I
already knew that, right right.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
I don't know why he didn't run a forty. I
don't quite get that. I don't get any quarterbacks r
in a forty. You should do it in half a second,
faster than anybody out there, and that's what we'd be talking.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
We'll be talking about that, like crazy. Yeah, I was
happy that his hand grew. Yeah, I'd like to have
him in my building and get a measurement on because
somebody's not somebody's not right. Yeah, somebody might measure that
thing wrong.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
There's some arm legs like that too. From Senior Bowl.
Changed dramatically the combine, Like what's going on here?

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah? Right? Crazy doing these? We're up at one fourteen now, Okay.
The top running backs available Jayden Blue, Damian Martinez, Rishard Smith,
j Cory krossky Merritt out of Arizona, Jarck west Hunter
out of Auburn, Kalel Mullins out of Michigan, Trevor Atn
out of Georgia, cal Mcgonagay out of Rutgers, Marcus Yarns

(15:50):
out of Delaware, Bachelle Teuton at a Virginia Tech, Jordan James,
taj Brooks, Ollie Gordon.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
I'll be honest, like we've talked a lot about this
is an awesome running back class, and I believe it
to be true. But when you do a lot of
these mocks and you get taken a running back and
like the fourth or later, I don't love it.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
I'm not like, oh, I had a second round grade
on this guy, like oooh, I can't believe he's there.
It's usually like yeah, I'll settle.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
It's gonna be, but it's gonna be a little there's
gonna be some luck involved. Yeah, and the guy falling
to the right spot. And a lot of this group
doesn't fit the mold.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Let we're picking again here in like eight to ten
picks or whatever it is. I would consider doing Martinez
and tooting boom boom, depending what else is out there,
because quarterbacks available, Okay, Riley, Leonard, Dylan Gabriel, Quin Yours,

(16:48):
cal McCord, Tyler.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Shuck, chuck, can't. It won't be there. It's only one fourteen.
He's the third round.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
I would take Shuck a thousand times over. But we
have this conversation every time. I understand that. But this
is it's only a third round. I get early fourth round,
I should say I would take Shock. I also am
warming up a little if you signed Fields. I think
Riley Leonard is going to stick.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
In the league. I thought Leonard actually had a real workout.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
He also played in the National Championship.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
You know.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
I mean, this guy played the Senior Bowl. He throws
the ball better than you think. I thought he was
gonna be Taysom Hill. But he's a quarterback.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yeah, he's better than that.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
He is better than that. I would certainly take Shock
here and hope Martinez or Touton falls. Is there another
I didn't love the running back group?

Speaker 2 (17:34):
I didn't either.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
I mean, I like the quarterback group a lot better
than the running back group. I wouldn't mind yours, even
if they're not a Fields match. I don't play on
playing on this year anyways. Who's sticking out the Shock
times a million? But I'm infatuated with top player available
as C J.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
West.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Oh if I knew, I mean, I might not have
taken Collins knowing that but you don't know. But I'm
happy with Colin.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah right. Jamari Calbwell is there. I like him as
well in this name j J Pegas is there.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
I do think that's an argument. And we've done enough
of these to know a second round knows whether it's.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
There's gonna be noses deeper into the draft.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
I like a fourth round nose.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
I mean there's just that not every team's after those guys. Yeah,
who's your favorite back? I think mine's Miami Martinez. I'm
kind of in the same boat.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
M H. Touton is exciting, but he's a little smaller
and he's fumbler, and you know, right, so I don't
know that he lasts this long either. I don't think so.
I think he goes before this because of the speed factor.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
If there's seven or eight backs gone, I think he's
one of them. Yeah, which there must be if this
is what we're looking at.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, I think you take Martinez.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
He's good. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
I mean, I don't know if he's going to Pro
Bowl after Pro Bowl, but he's good and he would
His style is attractive.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Okay, we're gonna run this down to our next pick.
At one twenty two, and then we'll cut it there
since it's going so sit Yeah, yeah, you'll talk about it,
and I think we take the quarterback here at the
next pick. We just kind of talked through that if
it is fields of that group, Dylan Gabriel, when you

(19:15):
weres cal McCord, Tanner or Tyler Shuck, Curtis Rourke is there,
Brady Cook is there?

Speaker 3 (19:20):
Still shucked by a million for a minute.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, Shuck was faster than I think a lot of
people gave him credit for all.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
He's, of course six five. Yeah, he's That's why i'd
love him. Yeah, six' five and he's you, KNOW i
think he's AN nfl starting. Quarterback, Yeah i'd take him
in the second round With steelers ten out of ten.
Times well he's the draft. Pick, okay all, Right so
we ended that wasn't. THERE i didn't mind the. GROUP
i would have taken one of the, others viewers or you.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Know we traded up to make sure that we Got
Walter nolan in. Sixteen we then Drafted Alfred collins at fifty. Three,
okay Took Damian martinez in round four pick one, Fourteen
Tyler shuck could pick one twenty two.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Shuck aside my love for, him WHICH i can't express,
ENOUGH i would go fish on that. Draft, OKAY i
mean it's. FINE i love how aggressive we were at the,
line BUT i think if you could rework, things i'd
take Him west in the.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Fourth, WELL i think, again if we knew ahead of
time That west, course it's like we don't. Know if
we don't know, that no one goes at, sixteen or
it may have been available at twenty, one we didn't
have to make a. Move that's all part of that
game of chicken that you.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Play, yeah but we're pretty, knowledgeable and The steelers are more.
KNOWLEDGEABLE i bet they know there's eight noses we, like
and we like number one more than we like number.
Eight but we can live WITH i can't live with
number eight and the fourth as opposed to number. Three,
second well.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
We have taken instead Of. COLLINS i don't know what
we'd have. DONE i didn't love what was out. There
some of those running, backs you know, AGAIN i like Get,
INS i, like you, know some of those running backs
that were.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
AVAILABLE i Think Travian henderson was.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Available Travian henderson was, available.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Which he doesn't fit the, mold but he's.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Good.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah if it had been Like, JENKINS i would have been,
like take, me Take, joggins yeah right.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
RIGHT I i Have henderson as my second best back
in This we just we just released Our i'm a
pretty Big. HAMPTON i think he's.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Number two in this draft because of the speed. Factor,
yeah not That hampton isn't, fast right, right, right But,
henderson his past, blocking his, past his past gross is.
Fantastic it's great for a guy who's five, ten two
hundred and, eight he probably plays around two tennis somewhere
and now he sticks his nose in there like you

(21:32):
could talk About Jalen warren And Jalen warren's really good at.
It he's just as good in terms of that for
the size and once you get out of, him yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
And he's he's he's a game. Breaker.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Yeah and looking, BACK i probably we would have been
better off With henderson And west Than collins And. Martinez, Probably,
SO i, mean knowing what we know, NOW i would
make that, trade, yeah BECAUSE i don't think that the
discrepancy is it's a lot better than.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Me and he's not one hundred and ninety five. Pounds
he's a two hundred and ten pound running back who
can break, tackles who catches the ball really well and
is great in pass.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Pro and maybe out of Taking martinez where we took
the quarterback then or you, know or a back that's
two thirty or.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Whatever, yeah or sign somebody that's just right, right wait
till the end of the draft and just bring in
another free like you, know you Have Jalen warren right,
right he's he's going to be your bigger. Back he's
two hundred and twenty. Pounds he's either one small Right
warren And henderson is not a bad. Backfield, no it's pretty,
good pretty DYNAMIC ba and it's a big. Play. Yeah,
anyways let's get to a.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Break he is good point about the protection, THOUGH i
think that's kind of a high state thing back Like,
elliott their, backs.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Those guys, Protect, yeah they. Do that was our little
run of the mock, drafter and again we ended up
trading up For Walter nolan at, sixteen Took Alfred collins
at fifty, three the defensive tackle From. Texas there are different.
Players one is an, end the other one is a
nose Tag Audio Damian. Martinez with our first pick in

(22:57):
the fourth. Round Tyler schuck with our second pick in
the fourth. Round, yep, yeah ye all, right good exercise, Though,
yeah just to try something different. There let's get through a.
Break he is The Matt. WILLIAMSON i Am Dale. Lolly
you're listening to The drive here On Steelers Nation radio
on The Steelers Audio. Network matt And i'll be back
with more right after. This this is.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
The drive With Dale lolly And Matt williamson on your
twenty four to seven home of The black And Gold
Steelers Nation.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Radio and we are. BACK i Am Dale. Lolly he
is The Matt. Williamson and, well this show has been
all about what's happening, here, yeah all over the league right.
Now Apparently Joel botonio going to return To cleveland for
a twelfth. Season oh, REALLY i thought he might be

(23:51):
a cap. Casualty that's news to. ME i don't know
if they're happy about that or, not, RIGHT i, mean,
see they'll take the. PLAYER i think that's THE i.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Think that they Think garret's doing them a favor and
they won't.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Accept they don't want. It, Right we're.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Good we're gonna roll With miles And botonio And Kirk
cousins and win The. North you're.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Not this is one of the. Things and Again i'm
not saying All steeler, fans, yeah but there's a portion
of a healthy portion Of steeler fans out there who
think that The steelers are. There they're in a rebuilding.
Mode they just need to tear it down and build
it back up. Again you've made they've made the playoffs
in four of the last five.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Years where them and The browns are at is not anywhere.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Close, yes they haven't won a playoff game in those five,
years five years and longer than. That but you're not
a team That you're not The Tennessee, Titans you're not
The Cleveland. Browns you're in a different situation. Here you
want to keep adding to what you.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Have, YES i, Agree AND i don't think tearing it
downs ever are good idea unless it's a situation like
this where you just did irreparrel harm to. Yourself, right
you are a self destructive. Unit AND i can't believe
the players in the walls, think oh we got. This,
yeah We're Kirk cousins away from you, know winning in The, north,

(25:10):
right Beating lamar And burrow and coming To pittsburgh. WINNING i, mean,
LIKE i can't believe that's the.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Case And Giles garrett doesn't believe that's the. Case, Right
garrett sat down the smart one of the. Game they're.
People they talked about what's the long, term what's your
long term plan? Here, well you, know if we go
out and Sign Kirk cousins and we do, this and
we do, that we're going to contend next. Year And
Miles garrett, said you're. Not you're.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Not that's a band aid on a bullet.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
One even IF i, stay that's not gonna, happen, right
And i'm your best, dude, Right and then you're not
telling you that that's the. CASE i, KNOW i.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Know and again that's kind of WHY i hope they
Draft sanders, too if especially if the best thing for
The steelers would be for The browns to run it
back to do, this Keep, garrett Keep, Patonio let's do
one more Year Kirk, cousins because it's not.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Gonna go, well just keep kicking the can down, there.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
RIGHT i think the next best thing you root for
is if they do have some self. Realization but then
they Take sanders at two oh or even, Ward Like
i'm a Big ward. Fan, boy that's not a winning.
Situation and even at, That ward is Not he would
be fifth or sixth if he had come out last.

(26:18):
Year out of the group of. Quarterbacks for, me he would.
Fourth i'm really warming up to. HIM i mean those
top three de mere, different May Daniels, williams BUT i
think he's. THERE i haven't had a, McCarthy nicks Or.
PENNIX i had penis higher than those other. GUYS i
have a lot of hope For, Pennis, OKAY i, Mean
i'm not SAYING i had.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Problem with With atlanta Taking pennix where he.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
Went and they're actually those of us myself, included that
were critical of, them probably eating a little bit of,
CROW i, mean because they're in better shape with him
than they would be with.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Had they not taken. Him, now knowing what you know
About Kirk, cousins you'd be, like oh, boy they made
they made a not quite The cleveland mistake, there but
they shouldn't have paid.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Him at least they can get out of. IT i,
mean if That's Dallas turner instead Of. Pennix now where
you're at and you're in, big, big big trouble or
even a lot to or whoever they were Taking avan Edge,
Rusher i'm, sure BUT i do Like ward better than
the coming out of college version of those. THREE i
had my questions about McCarthy the, ball, RIGHT i, mean he's.

(27:18):
OKAY i just Think ward has a lot of, Ability and,
FRANKLY i didn't Think nix was as good as he.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
WAS i thought HE i Thought nix was the perfect
fit For denver's, offense and he, was you, know because he.
Was i'm just gonna. Distribute the thing that surprised me
About nicks was that he was more athletic THAN i
THAN i gave him credit. For he's a really good.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
Athlete, yeah BUT i don't know If nicks would have
ended up In New england Or chicago.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Would have worked out as. WELL I i think he's
a good fit for that, offense AND i get the
quick passing game and all that.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
Stuff AND i give The broncos And payton. Credit they
recognized it and pounced on it, good you, Know but
anyway The browns ARE i just don't quite get.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
It SO i just wanted to go back over the
last two free agency periods For steeler, fans just to
remind them what they've added the previous two, seasons and
they didn't have as much cap space as they have this. Year, Right,
Right so last year you brought In Russell. Wilson, correct
you brought in which wasn't a pricey. Move, no it
wasn't a pricey. Move you brought In Cameron. Johnston, yeah,

(28:21):
Who by the, way did you see the video of
him running last? Week? No, no he had video out
of him running at the. Facility so he is presumably
getting healthier and he's. Not this isn't A Cole holcombe.
Situation he's a. Punter he's a. Punter. Yeah if he can,
run that's, fine that's great right.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Now but he looked. Phenomenal Patrick, Queen, yeah that's an,
uncharacteristic big.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Move. Right you made the trade For Justin. Fields, Yeah
Dante jackson you. Acquired he also got his contract.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
And deontay left in the.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Process re Signed Miles killerbrew who is A Pro bowl
special teams, guy brought in To Shaun. Elliott, right that's
as good a move as we said, yet Resigned Montravius,
adams Signed Van, Jefferson Qus watkins you, know, yeah, Yeah
Cordero patterson when when they Signed Corderio. PATTERSON i thought

(29:13):
that was a good. Signing we were at the owners.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
MEETING i, THOUGHT i mean, again that's this is not
a huge cap it OR i mean you're going to
get out of. It and it didn't hurt. You Dean
lowry who's proved to be a, serviceable a valuable.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Guy you Brought Inkyle allen And, okay that was pretty
much the. Picket, yeah traded picket the year before.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
That and you got something for. Picket you got draft.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Picks you brought In braden For. Hoko. Yeah you Signed kean. O'Neill,
yeah played a lot of snaps for. You you brought in
The Raven.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
Clark their cap space wasn't nearly as. Available they didn't
have nearly as you signed As Isaac. Samaldo, yeah that
was ONE i an't. Common, yeah like what man you
signed To land And. Roberts that's been a huge. Success
you Signed Cole holcombe who prior to the injury was

(30:09):
starting to play pretty.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Well. Yeah, yeah you Signed Larry ogunjobi. Start he's been
a starter for. You last you signed demonte K, z
nice role. Player you Signed nate herbig, it you Signed Patrick.
PETERSON i think they wanted to aim bigger at corner

(30:31):
and kind of. Settled, yeah you, know but you you
added guys who played a lot of snaps for you
in those, years and you didn't have the cap space
that you have going into this. One that's the.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Thing your resources are way, better way. BETTER i think
the existing rosters way better this year than last year
in because you added some of these guys and you've drafted,
well and you drafted well the last, year so you
want to keep adding to, that not start, subtracting, RIGHT i,
mean When omar took, Over i'm sure he had a
big picture, plan Like i'm gonna so he could get

(31:04):
to this point with the cap, space and even next
year there's a way even, more you. Know and IF
i can put two or three good drafts together in a,
row and last year's when he saw half.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Of, it it makes add some key free agent, signings
the queens of the. World, yeah those type of, guys
guys who are still young and are going to be
part of the long term.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Picture and as we talked about a million, times the
elephant in the room is, well how does my? Quarterback
that's the big. Thing, well you gotta just turn over
every leaf is what every rock you can, find you
go snooping under, there and my quarterback here or, not you, know.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
And all are on the. Table all options are on
the and they should. Be and, again if you have
a good free agency period this, year and let's say
your role With Justin field just this, year and you
might think he's not the. Answer let's let's say you
go ten and seven. Again all, right let's say you

(31:58):
go into the. Playoffs it does work out for you,
again but you've built the roster through another good draft
and free. Agency Now i'm more willing to perhaps make
a trade to go.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
Get a quarterback trade too, first to move.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
UP i might be in that situation That Kansas city
was in when they moved up to go Get Patrick
mahomes ten Because i've got a good roster. Here The
chiefs had a good. Roster yeah, yeah, yeah but they, realized,
hey we Can't we're not gonna win With Alex. Smith
we can't compete with what's out there right.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Now The rams when they made The stafford, trade right
With Alex.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Smith so you make that move up to go get
a quarterback if you like next year's quarterback.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
CLASS i, mean if you string three good drafts, together
you're gonna have a good. Roster, YEAH i mean there's
no question in, mind, right and they have a ton
of cap. Space Maybe Dak prescott doesn't want to be
a cowboy, anymore or whatever it. Is you, know we'll
give you our first, form you. KNOW i, mean, okay
now that's the final.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Piece. Yeah you don't know what's going to happen down the, road,
right AND i.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Do that's one Thing i've really appreciated What omar does
is he prepares for that rainy day or that sunny
day when there's when there's they could always be one
of the teams the way they structure. Contracts if we
need the money because there's something we. Love they're selling
A lamborghini for half, off we can do. It we'd

(33:15):
be one of the teams good, bye because there's a
lot of the. Camp The saints can't do, it and
there's a lot of teams that can't do.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
It you, know and that's, why you, Know so there's
been some why haven't The steelers released this guy or
that guy or that guy?

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Coming we don't need to, right, right, right there's a
Chance holk comes on the, team, right and it doesn't
sound like There's, yeah probably. NOT i, mean it makes
sense to move on from a.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Guy like why have you not moved on From Cordero patterson?
Yet because you don't have. To you don't have to, yet,
right so all those less doesn't happen tomorrow or the next.
Day but you don't have.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
To, right they're under the, cap they don't have. Them
they're not like the other teams of, man we gotta
cut somebody we, like right just to get cap. Compliant you're.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Not you're Not cincinnati Cutting Alex kapa when your offensive
line stinks and all of a sudden he's signed the next.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Day, YEAH i mean they're gonna make The bengals are
interesting to. ME i, Mean hubbard retires, today there's gonna
be four or five defensive cuts. Coming but all those
are doing is just creating another.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Hole, yeah they're just moving chairs around on the deck
of The titan right. Now they have, burrow.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Which is which will gives you a float and chase
that keeps you. Afloat but as we, saw this passing
didn't get you into the. Playoffs, no, no, EXACTLY i,
mean and it looks like they're going to take the
approach of we're going to keep our three guys on
offense and try to win forty to thirty, nine you,
know and hopefully the Dax hills of the world are

(34:34):
better this.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Year it's the kind of the exact opposite way that
The steelers approach. This and they can do that because
they have the. Quarterback they got a special, player, Right
whereas The steelers are doing this the other. Way They're,
okay we don't have the. Quarterbacks we gotta win with,
defense and everybody keeps, well they have the highest paid
defense in the. LEAGUE i don't care about, that because

(34:55):
if you don't have the, quarterback how the hell else
are you gonna? Win? Exactly you better play.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
Defense, Yeah i'm sure The eagles defense isn't cheap. Either, no,
yeah right, now it's.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Cheaper it's cheaper because they've they've used some draft, picks
but they just spent money on on an inside.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
Line they just kept.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
On in the last two, days The eagles have paid
big money to a running back and an off ball.
Linebacker thought you weren't supposed to do, that, right all?

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Right AND i don't think they would have three years
ago or two years.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Ago, yeah but now things change and it.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Happens you would just, yeah they're both top two players
at their positions and you just came To Super.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Bowl it's real easy to say that when you don't
have the, guy you, know the the everybody talked about
the forty nine, Ers, well the forty nine, ers they
just plug whatever running back they want to in there
and the guy goes out and has big. Games, okay they.
Would those guys would do it for about six, games
then they get hurt most and this guy would do
it for three, games and then he would get hurt
and then they, said wait a, second we can go

(35:52):
Get christian.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
McCaffrey, Yeah panthers are down and, out and then they
started going To Super. Bowls, yeah and he's the first
pick of fantasy. Drafts and it's, like it's.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Better it's a. Lot it's much easier to do it this.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Way AND i bet The niner season would have been
better if McCaffrey played seventeen. Games, YEAH i bet they
win a game or two.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
More it just drives. Me it drives me crazy when people, talk,
well you don't do, this and you don't do, that
and this this team was successful and they don't do
it that. Way there's not one blue there's no One,
yeah there's no one blueprint of doing. This everybody killed
The lions a couple of. Years, yeah, yeah because what
you don't draft a running back in the first round
and then he took an inside linebacker in the first
round and nickel corner at the top of the second, Round,

(36:29):
like what are you? Doing these aren't priority. Picks it
made him pretty damn. Good.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
YEAH i mean to, me it's like taking great ten
great architects and, saying there's only one way to build a. House, Yeah,
like there's a couple of things you have to, Have
like it can't fall. Over nobody Told Mike brady. THAT
i don't know who even that, is but some price.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Like a real, person but he was a.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Genius but, like it needs to have, electricity it needs
to have, water it needs to not fall. Over but
you can design it many ways and be the most
beautiful housemen the right or you, know a great. Chef
don't tell ME i have to do this in THIS i,
MEAN i can't put poison in.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
It you. Could nobody's going to complain about it if
you and nobody complains about the taste of my. Food
they don't live long. ENOUGH i, mean bread has to,
rise when you have, euston it has to have some.
Things but there are all kinds of different ways to
do this, build, Right The bengals are doing it one,
way The steelers are doing in. Another doesn't mean that
The steelers aren't trying to get better on, offense and

(37:30):
they're going to do. That they're going to add. Pieces
they're going to add probably way more this offseason than
any other team in the. Division, OH i would think
so it's probably two years in a. Row, yeah where
they add. More every other team in the in the
division is going to lose.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
PEOPLE i remember having that conversation pretty much after free
agency ended last year that The steelers definitely are the
ones that improved the most in those two weeks or
whatever in terms of what was lost and what was.
Gained and they are going to lose some, stuff but
they kind of. Prepared they prepared for, YOU i, mean
and it's not stuff that they're broken hearted about. Losing
it's not hardgrave walking at the.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Door this roster in twenty twenty four was better than
the twenty twenty three. Roster, YES i, know the results
were the, same, right, right but it was a better.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
ROSTER i would much rather build with this season's roster
at hand than last. Year, yeah he also draft tackles
of back to back, drafts and that's you're not looking
for that guys.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
ANYMORE i, mean that's the beauty of, it, Right, Absolutely,
SO i think that they're in a situation WHERE i
think they're closer than a lot of people give them credit.
For AND i think, that you, know, again if you
can figure out this quarterback, situation maybe it's justin. Fields
maybe It's Russell, Wilson maybe it's a draft pick next.
Year maybe it's whoever they draft in a third round this.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
Year, right that's WHAT i. SAYING i Know burrow was
first pick in the, draft and these things don't happen
all the. Time but if they use a draft pick
on a quarterback this year and we, go, whoa.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Yeah you, know like He's, russell he's the next Run
wilson was a third round, draft but he's an Next Dak,
prescott who was a fourth round.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
Draft you AND i aren't the Biggest shador, fans but
if they took him at twenty, one and holy, smokes
is he?

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Good? Yeah the rest of the roster around him is pretty,
good and now all of a, sudden you throw you
put that that young quarterback into That now you got something.
Shock that's What that's what. Happened that's what happened With
Russell wilson exactly in the in or In. Seattle, yeah,
honestly that's what happened With Tom. Brady right, Early Tom

(39:29):
brady was Not Tom. Brady oh, no he was a. Facilitator,
yeah right, right he. Was he was a point. Guard,
yeah and he grew as as his career went on
and Became Tom. Brady you, Know Dak prescott was you,
know dropped into a situation where they had a pretty
good team around. Him they hadn't won any playoff. Games,
yeah they they brought him in and they still haven't

(39:49):
had a ton of, success but they won playoff, games right,
RIGHT i.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
Mean Drew brees the second round, PICK i mean there's
a lot of that kind of. Stuff, yeah you don't
have to have the first. Pick, overall it makes it,
easier makes. It, yeah this guy's missed. Too you get your.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Pick you can get Your Marcus russell once in a while. Too, yeah,
unfortunately and it hurts you. Worse.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Yeah, anyways but the thing is just keep uncovering every,
rock keep taking bites out of, quarterback all options, open,
yeah which they have set themselves up to.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Do. Absolutely, yeah let's get to another. Break you're listening
to The drive.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
Here Maybe fields is the.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Answered we might be a week ten just going Boyd

I'm Dale. Lolly we'll be back with more right after.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
This this is The drive With Dale lolly And Matt
williamson on your twenty four to Seven home of The
black And gold cast in R Steelers Nation, radio.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
And we are. BACK i Am Dale. Lollie he is
The Matt. Williamson and one thing we haven't mentioned Today
matt is the contract signed By Max, crosby a three,
year one hundred and six point five million dollar extension
that makes him the highest paid non quarterback in THE
nfl at thirty five and a half million dollars per.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Year first, OFF i give The raiders. CREDIT i, MEAN
i think it really coincides With Brady now all of a,
Sudden they've moved To, vegas they have spending, Power they're
trying to build a fan base In.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
Vegas he's the face of your. Franchise, yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
ABSOLUTELY i, Mean Pete carroll's a LEGIT nfl. Coach they
Go oua and get the highest paid offensive coordinator IN nfl.
History Mark davis, realizes MAYBE i don't know as much
AS i. Should let's hand it to these, guys and
they've done. Stuff you, know they signed a guard. TODAY i,
mean they're making. MOVES i, MEAN i think The raiders
are have a direction for the first time in twenty.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Years at the same time that thirty five and a
half million dollars From Max. Crosby, yeah if you're The
if you are THE i don't know how much funny
money's in.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
There, yeah it's still a big.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Deal if you're The Dallas cowboys and you gotta Resign Micaeh,
parsons who's younger Than max Kro he's.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
Worth more Than.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Crosby you're, going, ah he's worth more than any edge.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Rusher in the. League, yeah or many defensive player in the.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
League, now some people might look at that from A steeler, standpoint,
say what's this mean FOR. Tj. Watt i'm sure he's
happy about. It, Yeah, yeah BUT i don't. KNOW. Tj
watt's not going to get thirty five and a half
million dollars think so at his age he might get
he's going to get north to thirty in a contract,
extension but he's not getting thirty five and a. Half.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
No but the league as a whole is, very very
profitable right, now AND i think that one up a.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Ton.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
YEAH i bet the owners are going it's gonna go up,
again like it's healthy and it's growing. Again when with these,
deals look at percentage of cap more so than what
the dollars are, right because inflation is going through the
roof r in THE.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
NFL i think one of the other teams is probably
not happy about, this would Be that's WHY i Think
arnold's gonna be A.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
RAIDER i don't think they want to live with a.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Rookie, yeah you, know but If i'm the The, Bengals
i'm not super happy about. This. NO i Think henderson's
gonna be. Gone, Hendricksons he's gonna be. Gone, Yeah Jamar
chase is Going, okay Justin jefferson was the highest paid
not quarterback in the. League you're not talking About Ed
Rusher ed Rush now It's Max. Crosby he's getting on.

(43:45):
Quarterback now that the highest paid non. QUARTERBACK i have
to be the highest paid non. QUARTERBACK i was gonna
ask for thirty five point. Five NOW i want thirty.
SEVEN i went thirty.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Eight, YEAH i think he. WAS i don't know What
jefferson's making is thirty Five he's thirty? Five, Okay, YEAH
i thought you'd get more THAN.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
I gotta be the highest paid non quarterback in the.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
League he's got a strong, case he. Does he's got
a strong. Case And bengals are kind of up against it,
too like they're not gonna Shop chase.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Okay, right and they can't let him get into free
agency because somebody will give him that kind of, money.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Right and you're so tied To burrow as you should.
BE i got a problem with. That but you can't
Franchise higgins for a second time and then Let chase
walk or trade. Him you know where you're. At then
you know that's a buind it's a. BUYING i, mean
that's one of the great one of the problems of
drafting a great.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Play the other team that's that's up against it now
with this are The. Browns they're talking, about, well we're
gonna we're gonna Pay Miles garrett to stay In. Cleveland
he's not gonna play for them. AGAIN i believe that
they could have, said, well you, Know, miles we'll make
we'll make you the highest paid defensive player in the.
League how would that make you? Feel thirty? Six now
it's gonna be thirty? Six. Yeah, Yeah and they don't

(44:56):
have the, money and they don't have the money to
do it, right and he's not gonna take it. Anyway.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Yeah along the, lines The cowboys must be doing things
because they franchise O Diggi, zoo which he's not a
franchise type. Player but then the next day they extend.
Him good, okay but that freed up money because you,
know and then they Restructured dak today they, restructured.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Getting ready to do a parcel partians deal and maybe
even a little more because they were didn't do a
thing in free agency last year because they had the two.
Contracts they had three contracts, looming and they've got two
of them out of the. Way they were Too, yeah
but they Also Dak prescott got hurt this. Year.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
Yeah, anyways so there's a lot of stuff on the.
Horizon it's all how we get back here. Tomorrow there's things,
right Maybe parsons are signed by, that The steelers have a,
quarterback maybe.
