"So i'm like they can win this game. I just don't expect it. Because i've seen this movie in. This movie starts out this particular way. So i did not expect this whatsoever. So i'm gonna talk a little bit. Why this was one of the most fulfilling opening games i've ever seen and i wanna ask you guys but i i want to ask you your knee jerk reactions and opening remarks and let me start with tony i. This is why it's great to be a fan. Because i'm one of the people who didn't pick them to win. I thought they would. I thought it'd be a close game like the last two war between the two teams the kind of defensive battle a lot of turnovers maybe the bills would pull it out. That i mean i and it looked like it was heading in that direction after the first two quarters But i was pleasantly surprised by how they turn things around in the second half. They clearly have a lot of work to do on offense. There's no question you can't deny that. They have a lot of work yet they have to do. They have a lot of young guys on that offense. New coordinator new office of line coach. It's not going to a whole new often my basically so it's not gonna. They're not gonna gel overnight but that defense is it's elite. It's top shelf. And and i just to me and i was saying this off season. I thought it was impossible to think that this team or silly to think the team's only gonna win four or five games with that defense. It's just too good to be that kind of a team when you're that elite on one side of the ball you're gonna you're gonna be in just about every game so my my knee jerk. Reaction is while when a great defense and it reminds me a lot of the late. Oh teams shannon white. What were your initial thoughts. When that game was over read you can start off with When the first half was over in your thoughts at the end of the game so what was going through your mind all along my friend. I was aggravated at myself for not listening to my own advice. I had said. I picked against him which i rarely do pick the bills. Twenty eight to twenty four. And i said all along that the steelers office doesn't have to be the best in the late with the defense and special teams that they they just got to be good enough and show stating improvement each week To hopefully be playing their best you know when they get to the playoffs Aspect to struggle which they did the first half was was was very Inconsistent insists that they couldn't get anything going on no chemistry or cohesion They made halftime adjustments. Something they never used to do and Made strung together enough big plays and and pass it affirms calls and To put some points you know gets a few scoring drives going and at the huge so i was very Heavy after the game An aggravated at myself for not having more faith Because you know if i listen to myself out of probably take you know what. Here's here's the thing. And i'm i'm gonna bring up ryan brown. I bryan brown is a A great contributor on the live chat definitely a A big supporter of all of our se podcasts. Thanks brian for coming in. You guys aren't going to pick the raiders are you. I don't think no. I'm not going to be be that guy. The picks the raiders. I don't pick. I'm not the guy that says all right. I'm gonna pick the raiders so the steelers will win. I don't do that. I mean i i am not. I'm not that full of myself saying that i can. I can change the outcome. Even though i did panic at the beginning of the game. And we'll talk about this too. I was wearing a white minka fitzpatrick jersey in like turn the game on. And i see chris boswell with black on and i. I was weird run. I'm like no no no no no no no no and i ran and i put on a word but by the time i got it on seventy five yard return.

"Gosh who am i missing. And there's more out. There say bans probably. He's hovering around the tenth spot right now. I think he's not. He's not my top five. I'm sorry to say. I think josh allens closer to top. Five than ben is at this point. It's just the way it is he's younger. He's he's like a. he's like ben fifteen years ago. So you know. It's hard to beat that. Hopefully the old gun gunslinger can do that this week. The march accents probably up there a little bit closer to top five because what he means his team in this offense that team revolves round. Him as he goes they go. So i'd say lamar's up there too pretty high. I think justin herbert. He's only had one year. But i think he's in the top ten right now collar murray. I mean there's a lot of great young quarterbacks out there so but then still pretty good. I don't care what you rank them if you want to rank him fifth or tenth. He's still pretty. Gosh darn good and you need that guy to win and the one thing that we have to remember what the t. j. watt thing. The contract is as valuable as he is as important as he was to get under contract if they don't have if they go five years after ben without finding another really good quarterback they're probably not going to win. That just shows you how valuable it is. How valuable a franchise quarterback is you can rank them anywhere you want. You can have all these debates if you have that guy. You have a chance unless there's hope that ben does so much. This year that he gets people were mad. If he stuff out out of the top five discussion and that on that note. I think i will call it a night. I think you guys for joining me. It was a fun conversation. I really had a good time. Hope you enjoy sunday's game. I hope we get to talk about a thrilling. Or maybe a blowout victory for the steelers on monday on the hangover with brian. Anthony davis and shannon white. And until i see you then. I hope you have a great weekend and goes steelers..

"So here we go here. We go the cleveland. Browns have to come into town. This could be. I don't know what their records going to be. This could be for the division crown. They might be resting guys. Who knows or they might be locked in the same record. I am going to say this. The pittsburgh steelers. Oh the browns at heinz field. I had them losing in cleveland. I'm saying that they're going to punch him out this week on week. Sixteen i'm putting the win. The steelers over the browns big brother steps up again. Shannon white shannon. I didn't hear you. You can't frozen for a second. Okay no Yeah i think the steelers. That's the game. I had marked on schedule. That that's the payback You know. I actually say the browns would win in at home but when they come to pittsburgh Think the the stores are going to put up. So yeah expect to win that game and to expose baker mayfield by slow down that running game and then making may feel beta of sorry. I'm having problems here. Tony go ahead. It's going to be a repeat last october. Hopefully without the tornado. Acl to win. A steelers players four touchdown kind of win for them. I think they're going to make a statement heading into the final week ten and six all right so let's go ahead and look at the last game of the season it will be against the baltimore ravens right now. I have the. I have the steelers at ten and six as well. I'm actually going to say that this is going to be a game. That might not even matter. I just have this weird feeling about this game here. I'm going to go ahead and say that on this time in baltimore that i think it's more of a split so i'm gonna go ahead and say they lose this game. Finish the season but finish the playoffs. Tony i get the feeling this is going to be one of those games. Where the winner of this game wins the division the loser stomachs the playoffs. But there's no shot at a by for either team. I'm gonna. I'm gonna say the steelers eek went out and And when the division afc north for the second year in a row alright. And what's your final. What does that put you at eleven. Six eleven eleven six all right shannon white eleven five going into this game affect the stores will have already won the division and they won't play a lot of starters and beaten cleveland the week prior is going to answer division and then against the ravens. I think they'll be setting a lot of star so aspect to delays that last game and end up Found record of eleven and six. Are i d. I have them at ten and seven but that does not mean that this team is not going gonna go far in the playoffs. I still feel very special about this team. I think the seventeen game season makes things a whole lot different. Where ten and seven is a lot like ten and six was a year before or any other year. So i think that's that's a pretty good year where you don't want to be in is nine and eight you know you don't want to be in an age range so with all of that being said i still find what ten and seven i am not pessimistic. Just sometimes you got to be a realist. With how the steelers play and everything and they have a tough division. They haven't tough schedule you know. They have one super bowls without winning the division. They've gone far in the playoffs without winning the division so i can see that being a very successful season as well. So we're gonna get ready to wrap everything up here but we're just going to say i'm just gonna ask you guys real quick. We're going to go rapid fire through this without even explanation. I'm gonna say team. Mvp and. i'm going to say rookie of the year. Joe greene performance award winner. So shannon white. First of all who is your. Mvp for the steelers this year. been tony. Minka wow brian. anthony davis. I'm going to go with najji harris shannon white. Your rookie of the year nudge ears. Tony number twenty two all right. I have to say najji harris. If i'm saying that he's the mvp as well. So i'm going to say that he's gonna sweep it. I do like everybody mentioning mentioning big. Ben's mvp actually a direction that i was going to go with as well but i'm thinking i'm thinking more about nausea. I mean realistically. I would put more money on. I would probably put more money though on big ben to win the mvp this year for the steelers. I actually think you will. But i'm still going naci so that being said thanks so much everyone. Thanks for coming on early with us. Enjoy the rest of your labor day. I'm gonna go back into quarantine. And i'll i'll see the light of day maybe in another eight or nine days so hopefully in time for the regular season i think i might be out of jail by then so with all of that. We need to do three things. One is stay safe to be true to yourself and number three always be behind the steel curtain and to quote the late great rowdy roddy piper along with his great friend the very much alive.

"So here we go. Let's let's continue with this. And i'm not sure who should go first. So i'm just gonna say shannon white denver broncos What are your thoughts there. It looks like it's going to be bridgewater a quarterback and they they have a talented squad but again with the game. Being in pittsburgh The sewers or more talented and they'll be able to get to bridgewater ad soft stars. Tony denver broncos coming to town It could be bridgewater if things. Don't you've got bridgewater and you've got lock. I mean makes me think of. There's hey a lot of aquatic Francis so we'll the steelers. I'm going to try. This will the steelers. Be damned in this game and i'm actually going to be one of those quote unquote tom and losses. I was going to happen sooner or later right so it's got to happen at some point so week. Five at home to the broncos team. You're probably supposed to beat either ten brighter or drew lock. Figure should be able to have your way with them. I'm going to predict a close loss because They've had their hands full with this team the last couple times they played them. So i'm going to say to gonna say ross. Tony wearing the pessimistic hat. But you know that happens. Those those surprise losses do happen. I think the broncos are are very talented team. I am going to go ahead and say that this is going to be a win. But i'm stepping on. I'm stuck stepping on shannon's toes here so shannon. Go ahead now. I thought that the stars go to bates bronco. Yeah okay you. You already said that. Yeah okay. I've i've i've had a long week so i do apologize. So here we go. Let's go ahead and go to another home game. This time in primetime. It is going to be a late night game. And gosh. I hate those late. My games especially when you're doing the show Trying to do the post-game afterwards but the only thing that that makes you feel good is when they win those late night game. Tony am i going to be happy or am. I going to be miserable staying up late in week six. Who plan that game. Oh maybe i should tell you that. The seattle seahawks. That's what i thought. Yeah i this is gonna be one of those backs up against a wall games. If the broncos game thomas loss this is your your typical. Tom and win time at home against really good opponent. They're gonna to win and they're going to win. Impressively shannon white. Is that an impressive win or are you thinking differently. I don't think the seahawks is going to be quite as good this years. They have been I think that where. I think they're going to beat the broncos. They got a big Showdown the next week with the browns. So i'm afraid that this is going to be one of them tough games even though they're usually really get in prime time they're not as good on sunday night as they are. Say monday night. So i actually think when they might lose. I'm actually gonna say that they're going to lose that game to. I hate to say that at home. But i've got to be realistic. The idea grew jeff. Hartmann that there are going to be bumps on the road. And i think this is going to be one of those bumps. I do like tony's rationale though saying that you when you come off of he has them losing to the denver broncos in he can see this being a signature win against a team. So i like that. Another signature win against a great team would have to be on halloween two weeks later in cleveland. My gosh the cleveland. Browns are obsessed with this team. They're obsessed with the pittsburgh steelers. I'm worried about this game. Because i think they're becoming dangerous they are. They're really eating up what they're shoveling. Let's just put it that way So with with that being said who goes. I hear shannon. I believe you go first on this one. yes that one is going to be. I think they'll split with the browns and the lose the game at cleveland. Alrighty i just think that at home for cleveland to fired up and abbas watching their some of their training camp just to check out and see what was going on and it's got a different feel it cleveland Not just you know. The fans are always ready but even when they suck Erodes state you know they still the fans were you know support but The way they run the practice it was much more. It was christopher. It's it's even like a far more professional The way they were handled the situation. The the timing for one drill to the next and If you'd watched it in the some other stuff in the past they didn't look like that So i think they've taken a a real step forward and they're going to be an issue so i think they win that game and you know what shannon. I think that they finally have a head coach. And it's not the same browns. Because of kevin stefanski. And i think that's the the biggest reason here that i think this is going to be a loss as well but i don't wanna step on tony so tony go ahead. What are your thoughts. This might be the last time. Big ben plays in cleveland. I'm not going to get really analytical and this one. I'm just going to say big ben in cleveland he. He has more wednesday nanny quarterback. I think maybe maybe mayfield finally beat him. I don't know. But yeah. I think big ben's gonna to go to beat the browns in cleveland and they're gonna take a step back and go. Can we really be. I mean they beat him in the playoffs last year but have we really turned the corner. It's going to be one of those games for the browns. They're gonna be wondering if they really turn a corner. Four and three well really nice. Okay so. I predicted two losses in a row. Then they go home on monday night. Football eight days later if that stays. Because if i'm not mistaken. I think that they are now allowing some flexibility With the schedule and moving. Monday night games. I don't think they would move this one this early in november with flex scheduling so. This should be safe but the chicago bears could be the nathan fields coming the town. I think the steelers come back in a big way here so. Let's go with tony on this one monday night. Football shannon said usually really gonna. Monday night football i and at home. I look for them to to win this game. I i like. I like fields but yeah i don't see them losing this game. I tell you what. I like mrs fields a whole lot better and i'm not i'm not talking about. I'm just talking about the cookie..

"And evan goal says no. I don't think we should cut your necessarily. He does make some good blocks here and there. I mean he's a he's a good all round player. He's not a great player but nobody ever said he was. He's a good tight end and sometimes good players have flaws in his is unfortunate for him and dropping dropping passes every now and then but i don't think it's enough. I don't think it's enough that cut them. Which is what a lot of people are saying not really cut him but trade him. Which why would you want to like. What good would a seventh round pick do. If you want to get rid of eric hebron adamant portnoy koumba says asks if a team traded a quarter if a team suffered a quarterback injury and we were offered a twenty two twenty twenty two third round pick for either mason or haskins. Which one would you trade. Well i would probably trade Rudolph so i think haskins has higher upside I want to and he's a restricted free agent next year. So he's going to be here again next year so i know that actually until recently. They're both pretty. They're has route up went under contract so if they can get a third round pick form. That'd be great but i wouldn't actively shop either one of those guys that keep more on the roster because i think you have to if rudolph ceiling as a backup then he wouldn't be a bad backup to have next year provided benz gone. And you have to go with the younger quarterback like like a rookie or if you decide to go with haskins we should have rudolph. Who's been in the system for a few years in and no steel steel a cab donate donate five dollars. Thank you for that. And they say canada's offense needs to tight ends exactly that's one of the things That's one of the reasons why frieden youth was brought in because they wanted to utilize to titans wasn't the replace hebron in have one tight end in there. It's going to be using too tight ends a lot of packages and on that note fifty minutes in. I'm going to call it a day. And i thank you for watching. Thank you for listening. Thank you for the questions. And the super chats fantastic as a good show. Next time i talk to you to hang out with. Brian and shannon white. But in the meantime you're going to get one last steeler steeler preseason game in sorry somebody swearing at somebody else and traffic distracted anyway. You didn't hear that on there on the through my microphone probably not anyway enjoy. Tonight's game Hopefully there aren't any major injuries. Hopefully one of these one or a few of these young guys can really make a name for themselves and there's a lot of guys that are getting ready to play tonight that this might be the last time they ever play football so wished him luck. And until i talk to you again have a great weekend and go steelers..

"Steelers fans what is up with a capital u. capital p. Lots of exclamation points or. Actually maybe some question marks because it's a question but nonetheless man were so thrilled to be with you. This is the last week of the preseason as the pittsburgh steelers play one more game in the next four days. I'm so excited because the regular season is upon us. What is it twenty days from today. That the pittsburgh steelers can be playing for real. That is that's big stuff and my name. Is brian anthony davis. I'm the podcast producer here at behind the curtain dot com and. I'm so thrilled to have you with us. Congratulations to brad. Jewett the first one in on us giving some double peace signs. So i appreciate that brad. It's good to see here in the live chat along with everybody else kind of role in. But it's also great to see mr shannon white and mr tony deaf. Yo what is up fellas. Let's start with you shannon. What's going on man just a bit hot today. I think without the score jeter weather the rest mid eighties is hot and all that bad weather coming up the coast just keeping all the hot humid air right above us. It's been war and speaking of hot a guy who's been hot for every decade since the nineteen seventies. Tony what is up man. Just hanging out mccaren the shop all day and i did a lot of reading so it was pretty quiet. Monday and shannon's right. I went outside to walk to get my car. And i couldn't at the exercise i needed today. So it's not the heat. It's the humidity the gets you so when you're at the bar it's the humidity of tony. Sheffield that is going to going to score. You have ladies have no chance with the humidity. Now that's true. Although lately it's been like a drought so and then again you know humidity's not a good thing then because humidity is a one hot air so that's not good Let's just say this tony. I don't think that you're as bad as what i was back. In the ninety s at one point when pop singers got together to do a tribute album for me. That's how much of a drought. I was in so with that being said and you know we're we're good to go. We're you're good. I tell you you're you're fine. I'm rooting for you. So with that being good. I'm getting i'm getting old so i think i might have to retire and just go into full-fledged troll mode i need you know what there might be. I found a woman on the internet the other day. That might be perfect for you. The only problem was she was be the guy she was with. And getting in a fight at heinz field so that might not be. That might not be the best pie. But i saw her and i saw that and i was so taken that i i sent a one of those connection things on craigslist. So i think care so we'll see what happens if you like to yell and start fight to the at heinz field. You're the woman for me. Tony duffy unfortunate event. we're not gonna get into all of that but you know. Police are investigating that. So here you go greg. Jeffrey benedict says here. Bad aid was great. The great jeffrey check on his show. Tomorrow on bt sei dre at one but that's really funny bad aide. Who would perform a bad aid. A lot of great artists. I think let eighty advance aid all right so the week. That was man i tell you what the steelers now three you know in the preseason which that doesn't mean thing but winning still good in the preseason winning feels good in the preseason. But it's how you play the game and the most important thing to me. Fellas was how that first team offense looked in. I have to say. Ben rothlisberger at points look like vintage two thousand eight band getting out of trouble throwing the ball. Eric brown did not catch that. But that's not a problem right now that they still had a good showing in that game also we will go ahead and look at one of his great receivers now tight end pat. Fryer move man. I'm going to start with you tony. How confident are you in the bend to pat. Ben standing pat with framing. I was i was impressed. Obvious absent president. Ben speaking of being taken but the body control that he showed on both of those touchdowns and the athleticism i mean that was just obviously he need a great quarterback fit the ball in there but he showed a lot of i mean he has. What just an unbelievable streak in the red zone going back to whenever the penn state as far as catching every pass thrown to him. So i'm very excited about him. You know and people were so focused on his blocking. I don't think it's should be looking when it comes to fry. Headaches should be excited about the fact that he might be really great weapon for them sooner rather than later in the passing game. You know what. I'm gonna ask a guy in the live chat here. I'm going to ask our good friend. Brad jewett who's a big penn state fan who was at the at the campus. And what give us a scouting report on paper here to tell us what you think about pat fry. Because i haven't talked to you about pat yet. I know you're a big nittany lion fan. So brad and throw something in the comments section love to hear it because i'm really excited about this guy shannon white. What was your assessment of number. Eighty eight rodent still stiller stock report article about this in the stairs event so many credible accomplishments through the years. But they've never had a one of the big tight end quarterback kambas you know Like your brady gronk or your rivers gates or you know any of them Guys that are now the record books. The stores have never had that guy to pair with bradshaw or and I'm not putting frown in that category yet. But he's going to be a weapon in the red zone because like tony said. I think he's not dropped. A breads on pass during his senior penn state and and they say camp he catches everything especially around. You know what it's time opportunity to score Avic thank just me. A great connection He he had incredible body control to to twist and turn and those catastrophe catches in even through contact. And hebron could actually should pay attention to firm you because on being houdini actor You know he. He should have brought that ball in especially after. Your quarterback goes through all that to get it to you I'm super excited about that. Connection they could be a lot of touchdowns In the near future now browns hewitt says he catches everything bad. He battled the shoulder all last year. And apparently that's flared up in camp this year but the kid catches everything in so that is absolutely. That's great. Thanks for that assessment brad. Love to see him now. Here's here's the interesting question. If kevin raider doesn't stick with the team does pammy frame with go back to eighty seven. Does he stick with eighty eight and here. We go dallas. Just ask that. And i did not see that. That's great so i'm going to give dallas quanli. Who's obviously a prince fan. That's a that's a great. A great there will find with good. Eighty seven freighter. Radars cut man dallas and i are on the same page. Tony do you think he keeps the number eighty eight i. I could see him switching back. It seems like what they usually do in that situation. But i think it looks bad ass. And if i'm allowed to say that word in the eighty eight i mean i know it's it's no. It's no slight lynn. Swann we all know he's the best eighty eight ever but i think he looks really great. Net eighty-eight so. I'd stick with that. If i reme but i'm not fashion expert. Well being the fact that you just did say it. I guess you can Shannon whether he's eighty seven or eighty eight. Can he be a guy that you talk about. When you're talking about grunk xxx in talking about chelsea's and talking about the chances of the world and maybe even the george kettles if he's even close if he's on that second tier but a right below those guys You know heath is the best tight end in stones history but he was at a great run after the. Catch guy you know. He caught everything. He was very reliable but he was an excellent blocker as well. I think farm. Youth has the potential to be that kind of blocker. But i think he might have a little bit more.

"I watched that movie over. And over and over. And one of johnstown zone pete. Vukovich was the was clean. He would right and so that was really awesome. He was a pitcher. Cy young pitcher for many team. But he well not sign pitcher for many one nine hundred eighty two four milwaukee. He won the cy young so But i digress but if you go back to major league seeing that red tag is is the the thing that all players players fear so it is your during roger. None of that old stuff like he played noga which is possibly play on somebody. Yeah i mean no matter. No wonder that charlie sheen a try to destroy him and then slip of his wife. Yeah it was just. It was an excellent. That's ultimate revenge there. Let's let's do another live chat real quick Super chat real quick. Conradi gives us one ninety nine. Do you think the steelers weight and draft rattler. Gosh the that's that's thanks for the one nine nine. That's a tough one because we have no hopefully that they are a no shape to drag rattler next year. That's the best answer. I can give you now because there is a regular season to look at Eating like he's supposed to be a top five pickers he one of the prospects if he's just one of the prospects right now. She has probably get hyped up so much and he'll be a top five pick anyway next year. Now he's in trae lance territory. Right now we're trae. Lance was twenty five at the. I mean in october. He was around twenty five in the next thing. You know. he's he has top five. We see it all the time. So let's answer that question that we had from sean manahan in the question was hey or the steelers more setup to score thirty points a game fellas on offense or hold defenses hold offenses to under fifteen on defense. So we'll start with you shannon white. I wanted to be both that way. We win each week comfortably. It'll be much better on my health and all the health. If you're came book. Yeah i would eat cake The athletes that they're set up better right. Now you'd have to say you know how the only given fifteen The obvious. I think could start. Slow with the you know the new schemes the new of its of land. harass you know getting him up to speed Where the divas should be a smooth transition. So even i'd like to see him do both. I think it's more likely the fifteen points a game. Very good tony your thoughts absolutely the defense and i think there's some concerns with the key the secondary i think so. We still have to figure out who's going to be the number two corner although they're still talking about james peer like he's having the best camp so i'm excited about that Sutton struggled a bit the other night but it was his first game So aside from that defense. I think as you said you decorate your you said earlier. Alex smith is probably gonna be a superstar. So i i'm not worried about the buzzer pre thing as much as i was heading into camps so i think it's definitely the defense your offensive line. If they can get that short up. Maybe they could be doing that by the end of the year. But i think they're more equipped to the whole teams down than than they are the score on in twenty twenty one. You know what. I see the steelers as twenty seven. Twenty seven point a game author then thirty fresh really hard. But if you're on twenty-seven that's pretty good. So i would i would gladly take the. Let's have the defense keeping him under fifteen when you have an offense that scored twenty seven and if it's a rough week in their scoring they're scoring twenty three. You're still winning. So that's that's the bottom line of the whole thing. lifelong fan. o seven gives us four ninety nine. Thank you lifelong fan L l f o seven that's make short hopefully the steelers get the deal. Done with t. J w guys. Is this going to get done before. September twelfth or or you starting to get cold feet here. You start to get worried. If he would ask him that two weeks. I would say no problem now. I'm starting to wonder when when you when you start hearing numbers. One hundred billion dollars guaranteed floating around and you hear these reports. That's a lot of money. It's a lot of guaranteed money. So i'm more inclined to think at this right now that they might not get it done before the end of the training camp season which is the end of their negotiating season shannon. If it's really is one hundred million dollar he's on it ain't gonna happen right the stars do that. They're not gonna do it. Here's the thing we gotta keep him at. The last two suppliers of the year for pittsburgh was choi. Palmolive james harris. How many big plays did they win. Did they make to win. Ballgames At the end the games in the files count. How many has is tj. May now he's a great player but in these huge games. How many big places. He made the winner especially late in games harrison always. He destroyed kansas city multiple types And how many then two playoff games. He's been alfred says they'll give but they don't mean the defense and he's disappeared in both games If you the best player a hundred me dollar player you you have your big games in the biggest moments in the spotlight right. Harrison did calomel did teach athlete. Alexander smith is going to be a superstar and he is a one hundred million dollar. You know you want to pay him a hundred million dollars stores get fat an edge town. I hope he comes these sensors and they can work something out. But one hundred million dollars guaranteed. It ain't happening. Well here's the thing and west mentions restructured too. It's contract. i think it's close. So i mean that could be a possibility too or is that too it contract going other places. We don't know that either. But here's the thing. This is the problem we have with pittsburgh media. There's so much speculation has t. j. watt said that he wants one hundred million. I mean just just like does same washington one traded. You know. I mean there's always that there's always that unnamed source you know the unnamed source that thinks that the thinks that t. J. watt left town without blow blew off his exit interview the unnamed source that says that kevin dawson outta shape so that unnamed source causes a lot of chaos. And i so you just never know but with that being said gentlemen thank you so much i do appreciate it was it was a. It was a fun show. We are getting closer and closer. We're gonna have some fun next week as well so please. Everybody join us and check out behind the curtain dot com for all of your editorial pittsburgh steelers needs. It's just not a non stop shop..

"Just giving us a little bit off. The top yeah. I'm not that. I'm not that worried about. I mean he didn't have a great game. There's no question about it. I mean he seemed to be exposed on of especially in the past hasn't game but but like i talked about the other day you know and as you said brian the scheme you know. They're not keith. Butler didn't run much of anything as far as schematics. You didn't do a whole whole lot of game planning same mad canada and he's not playing with bush. He's not playing with mickey fitzpatrick. He's not playing with trump into those guys. As far as the passing game and covering tight ends and running backs they do a lot of the heavy lifting and they leave linebackers like like spelane and before. Him fence williams. They freed them up to do their thing so and they full team defense and he got cameron there and in all those studs i think would be a little better off. So i'm not that worried about him. I think he's he could be another fence williams type linebacker and that's all they really need him to be provided devin bush is is the player they think it can be when he When they drafted him two years ago. So i'm not worried about spelling it all all right. It's a twenty minute mark. I think we'll do one more then. We'll take a break. So i'll start with you brian. And this one's shannon. I love this one. i know it. He's just gonna love it. James pierre what do you think. Brian talk up stock down. You know what. I'm actually going to say stock up and you know and real quick before we get into this when you're talking about. We talked about alex smith later. We're talking about shannon y shannon white love and alex smith last year shannon white loving james pierre and in our slack channel he takes credit for it every time we mentioned james pier so we'll let them take credit for it now shannon white. Now he's gonna be awesome. I want him to be awesome. But there's a little part of me that says like all right if if he misses one coverage in this game you know in a meaningless preseason game that might be okay just so i can say hey shannon. How's your guy. But i i'm joking i'm joking. Yeah i stock up. You know i really. I thought he had a good game for for what was going on there. We saw a lot of action from him. So i you know. I like what i saw. It's promising he was not a liability there. He's still not a starter or all on the the depth chart that's fine because the depth chart the matters is the one that we get before the beginning of the season. But james pierre i i. Let's just put it this way. There's so much more depth with the defensive backfield than any of us thought back in january back in april and even back in june. Amen to that. I i thought he had a decent game. I was pleased with was his most extensive action right. Preseason or regular students. I was i was happy with his performance. But about you shannon. Somebody just said was paid for pirates or pierre. It's actually for both both he. If you watch the first draft they had him up within you know it was like he was pressing the line and and because he can play man man he could play zone. He's he's a natural boundary corner and inept i drive he was right up our jayme and the guys and and so the second drive. They moved him back off. Round like five yards like they like to do because they mix up coverage and in the guy cut across his face post there. He didn't have safety w made to tackle immediately. But if you watch even when. They switched defenses and concepts. He's always in a good position. They was a couple of receptions that he was right there to knock the ball away and the guy might get kitsch but he's taking a step when he get the same last year in the preseason at all because there wasn't one and he's still made the team and ended up contributing an avalanche that that he will start at some point. This year is a boundary corner. And then when you look at the talent you know. I mean i was concerned about the cornerback position and then you got Brown and gilbert two undrafted free agent. Just like pair was ice that are really starting to show up. Make plays the cam and they're going to get the preseason games too so like brian was saying they've they're having they're gonna have some really good death. Yeah i agree in as a bmw. Said i go. Where did flash on on thursday mason place in on monday. Training can't be broke up a pass in the end zone and one of those Seven shot drill. So you know you gotta develop these. You can't just get all your you can't address all your needs. But premium draft picks. You have to find undrafted. Free agents guys off the scrap heap Project type players develop them. That's what you're good coaches do. So you know. Learn a lot of people excited about gilbert and shakoor brown. So it might. It might be a lot of tough decisions on the final rauscher when it comes into secondary might be tougher than we thought going into camps. So that's exciting and on that note as a good first half a show. We're gonna come back after a break and talk more about players who stock is either rising or falling talk a little bit about kevin dotson speaking of which and that whole thing surrounding him with the. The coach is apparently being unhappy with them. But that'd be in the second half of the show if you're if you're watching live on youtube or facebook go anywhere we're we're gonna come right back if you're listening on audio platform.

"A complete i just go completely off the. Are you watching the olympics at all. i'm trying to. I'm trying to watch as much as i can. But it's it's hard because you know. I have basic cable. So it's hard to really. It's it's on all these nbc. What sister stations. I guess and so. It's hard for me to keep up. But i'm trying to watch i. I'm trying to watch much volleyball. I can't do you like regular volleyball or do you like beach volleyball. I like them both. I'm a big fan of beach volleyball. That you also. I'm a fan of the my. Mrs vat and i are watching a lot of lot of swimming. Nl swimming's kind of tailing off. I mean but wow amazing. Just amazing. And i've been a little fight. You've noticed a slack channel. I've been in a fight with mattie several because maddie's talking about all the australian guy the osceola women and he was dissing my girl katie la- decky who probably lives about her hometown's about forty five fifty minutes for me and maryland girl. i love katy la becky. She's absolutely amazing. What she did in the eight hundred in the fifteen hundreds awesome. But so i might have to fire pepperell just because of the osce swimmers. Takeover fantastic podcasters pepperell. But if he if he keeps on if he keeps on discipline decky in bragging about katie mckeowan and go hit miss ariane titmus. I mean i i gotta i gotta make a call here so If you want to save i tell you. What if you wanna save mattie pepperell. Let's go ahead and see if we could get twenty five bucks in the twenty five bucks in the super chat to save pepper. Al job. let's see what we gotta do. So there we go. Speaking of. But anyways i wanna talk about swimming so the commentators in swimming had dan hicks rowdy gaines. Have you caught any of these guys shannon white. I really haven't been watching olympics. You haven't been. I've i've tried to pay attention to You know a lot of the twitter verse. As far as what's going on at gay evan as stuff in a suffered through the pirates but you know tried to stick with am and wants to try to rebuild this situation this organization and and But you know. I haven't really heard the any olympics. That's i've olympics. Have been awesome for me. I've really enjoyed it. Rowdy gaines is the is the color commentator. And he. I would love to see him for the steelers. I think he would be amazing. I don't know if he knows much about football. But he's an olympic gold medal champion from nineteen eighty-four. He's fantastic in fact. This guy is so he so exciting. We've got to stay save mattie before it was five bucks has to executive saved mattie and donald nolan. This is i'm loving this. Don't even think about it. Bad matt ep. Stays i love this coming to the aid of one of my guys but i have to come down on him so you for going after the decky like that so but anyway so he's only twenty bucks away keeping his job so good job live chat. Thank you but rowdy. Gaines is so exciting when these guys are coming from behind. I was thinking about this. Not that i'm ever gonna have one. But i always thought if i ever had my own sex tape i would want in the past. I would jack fleming or myron cope it. I think that'd be great them commenting on on it now. I want now since they both passed away. I wouldn't want rowdy. Gaines tacoma sex tape. That is that is how exciting gets he gets you so i mean i could be bad at it. I swing more. I pay attention to this guy. I was supposed to do this this bit yesterday. I t even teased of yesterday on tales from two. Am and i forgot about it at the end so i just wanted to bring it. Bring it here but andrew willmar says and this is great. Caleb drexel's absolutely awesome with his five gold medals. Caleb dress will said he could hear rowdy saying welcome to the club from the pool. So that's i want i. That is definitely why. I want rowdy gaines to be the next steelers keller commentator. I think he's great. Hey anything dirty. All always said was sex tape. That's it you don't have if you picture. That's up to you at cleaning wholesome. That's on you. Yeah so anyways walmart says now you only have to pay twenty yourself. Mattie usa jk. We love the down. Does yeah i. I love the down on his hair. But yeah i mean peripheral. Tell you what you go. After the olympic swimmers i mean. I know you're ozzy proud but davison didn't do that did he. Work davidson didn't bust up on the american swimmer's and now he probably saying. Please don't pay my own show. Now you know what davidson's probably over and he's probably over in japan right now trying to meet meet all showing an accent. Where a. he's he's probably over there meeting the ladies happening. I guarantee you a. I know donald nolan. You're you're never completed. I've i've i love that you're supported my guy in the end. Preval's my guy. But we've got to raise the money to keep them now after going after my olympic swimmers so So anyways guys we've been talking about the guys who have not been counted on in the past for the steelers. The never been counting on so with that being said shannon. Who is your choice for the guy that we should be counting on now that we weren't in the past my first choice. Yeah i would have to probably go with Is less names coward And he's I think they've got him left guard. Rashad yeah and he's been filling in for dotson who hasn't been able to get out there yet. He's he's been out and pads and stuff but he ran a little bit with the second team. I think but he's was shorts. Inner just going through drills but Coward is a guy that is a really powerful run blocker struggles a little bit with the pass protection Because he's even then rips for the bears tackle. But i think he's an eighty hill he needs to be on the interior guard but I just with the situation we have. I think he will be an important addition. This season at some point. Tony i i like the whole rishaad. coward here because they brought this guy in. They brought joe hagan as well but they bring these guys in. Nobody's counting on them as nothing but backups. So would you see a guy like that is being beneficial to this team that we could probably count on Left field that's right. Yeah 'cause i wasn't even thinking about him. Shannon brings up a good point. I mean with these with the unit collectively kind of struggling to get on the field at the same time at camp and you know you never know who you might have to count on damn wars another one. I mean that's one that you hear that. He's he's playing with the first. Getting a lot of looks at left tackle. Szucs hasn't been been practicing all that much so far. So there's somebody that's important during the year they might have to count on. They count on kevin dotson last year at guard when when they had those rash injury. So damn wars. Another one you might have to. He might have been somebody. You weren't really counting it but you might have to count on him once a year. It gets rolling out. I was about to say brought up kendrick green. You're bringing up dan more. I was about to say. Let's not bring up the rookies but you're right. Though because the draft picks we weren't counting on kevin dotson last year for anything in fact we said that if kevin johnson comes in. It's going to be a disaster because someone's hurt or someone's not playing well at all with only is in front of them. So that's why. Dan dan moore is a really good pick here because we weren't counting on him before camp. We're not counting on a guy like traynor would either now. We're counting on presley harvard. We're counting on najji harrison. We're counting up pat frankenmuth and kendrick green. We're not counting on a buddy johnson. We're counting on them to learn..

You know. melvin ingram. Show next thing you know. We're hearing that steven nelson might come back. Stephen nelson's not coming back steven nelson says. Hey you're all lying. I'm never coming back so it was a lots of stuff happened. You guys did a great job. I had a chance to listen to the show Good job on the quota. Saying my name that many times i appreciate it in fact you guys can keep your podcast jobs. So we're we're in good shape but yeah so no. I am absolutely. I'm thrilled to be back. I'm thrilled the tony is alive. Because there were some reports of his demise. And i was really worried about that as well. So we know that he's okay and shannon. You look better than ever man. Oh thank you look at shannon being the corner square on on hollywood squares up there that ethanol privileged quarterback position. Look at that so all plays to be in place now. I've got a main regret though. Something happened last week that i wasn't here for and it's killing me and i'm going to apologize. Happy birthday felicia. I know it's it's a week late but happy birthday triumphs. I'm so sorry. I missed that but you know. Hey it is great to be back here. And let's get into it. Pittsburgh steelers training camp fellas. What are you thinking of so far but still you shannon white. Just super excited again. You know football pants. I mean without paying you know insurance but everybody seems to be really happy focused Already and and you know knock on wood. No may have reported injuries yet. So i'm happy tony. Defa what you see an out of the south side and now going into heinz field. I just continue to be impressed. By the reports of shannon said about the focus and how player like nike harris is he. He can't get enough work he just can't he can't do enough and like we said. In the summer they have or earlier in the time to go home and report. You're hearing about pat fryer muse and even even antoine brooks. I wasn't expecting here. Why hear anything from him. And now you're talking. You're hearing reports of how he's doing decent in the slot and there's a player that maybe not a lot of people thought about as a candidate for that position so i mean i'm just excited about about the young guys because they're going to need to depend on a lot of young guys this year. So that's something we are going to be talking about in the show. So let's save. Some antoine brooks talked for a little bit later because he is definitely going to come up on this show and we are going to talk about on this show players that are shining already that you didn't expect to those guys. Some of the making their jumped from the big jump from year one to year two players that also that we're looking for to really show up we're gonna talk about players that showed up so far i'm gonna talk about one that showed up in a much different way and someone that keeps showing up in this same way. It is first of all dan moore junior on saturday to fights in a row to place fights one with isaiah bugs one with cam hayward you a lot of times that is that's an earning respect factor and guys like cam or pushing a rookie to see how far they'll go so that's not anything to worry about but you also wonder with isaiah bugs. Somebody made a mention today is why is this guy. Always get into fights. What's up with isaiah butts right tony. I think it's a good sign. It goes back hearkens back to what they were talking about in the spring during the draft or after the draft or how they were trying to find more aggression among the offensive lineman last year with thoughts. Of course we heard that. We've heard that about kendrick green and now dan moore who you know who's apparently really aggressive in ornery and trying to make name firms of my question is i didn't think they were allowed to even really scrimmage scrimmage pad so it's impressive that they're getting into fights without without pads that tells me that he must really want it shannon. Does that mean that he really wants it. Does that mean that he is so fired up in ready to go. Does that mean that. He's being tested by the veterans. What does that mean with dan more. Oh definitely he adrian. Klemm ovid's vlad coach. He screamed all these guys before the draft to talk to him. And and i guarantee you. He stressed that this is the direction we're going and we're going to be mean. We're going to be nasty. We're going to be physical and he said earlier. You know if you if you ain't gonna bring it here but it's going to be on the bench and i think that more took that to heart. He's in there and so naturally the veterans are going to try to test him a little bit and you know these happens in the hot sun i turn and the you know these high temperatures. You know the blood ball's a little bit and temperatures flair and it's a great thing i said i'd much rather have to tell it. Take it down a notch kicking him into but to get him to you know. Play harder and show more effort. So i think it's a great sign. I think it shows a lot about adrian klemm and you mentioned him shannon adrian..

"South sex got spread out betray him and green and white roy homes and You know i was. I realized that ham had as many sexist he hit because right i never thought about him as a blitzer right. I can remember a few but those guys show had quite a few six right right. Yeah ed you just like man. I that was just an incredible credible defense and if the steel curtain eight the events of all time well i mean you can is said many times that that that front ford such so much heavy lifting and created so much opportunities for for him and lamberton andy russell and of course secondary to make plays you know because ham was one of the in lambert were two of the greatest pass coverage Linebackers ever as far as you know the depth that they said that lambert would get on on in in pass coverage down the middle was unprecedented. At that time he was such a great. The people don't think of them as a great ethic you such a reputation of being a tough guy with the the missing teeth and everything but he was a fantastic athlete and of course ham was too and i think when when he was playing with the all time leader in interceptions for linebacker. So now that front four. Just it's like you said it was spread. Everything was just spread out amongst among everybody because front four did such a great job of dominating. The line of scrimmage weaken week out and we can only hope that a someday soon else agreement gets in there. So it's been a fun show and we're we're getting up against Sixty minutes so. I guess we're gonna have to call it a night and i was like. Oh my gosh. How's this gonna go without brian. Anthony davis did a great job. And i think he mentioned his name enough. We got the court davis ryan. Anthony davis thanks. I think we do sit the quarter quarter right. That's right you finish it off. You didn't heavy lifting last few in there. so yes we richer him with his troop his outfit. You know the boys you know two or three sizes too small right. And he's protecting them from say a grizzly bear. You know because brad zach had a guy he's got his collapsible stage of that he used the big latrine and and he showed them how to defend yourself from a grizzly bear with joe ashara pitcher in neom. So it's not that draft. Hopefully it's like a practice. Run dry is using squirrels. Yes yes yeah. It's not something like a starter starter. Grizzly bear on that note. I just to say thank you to everybody in the live chat. Thank you for for the super chats and cigarette. Shout out wanted to get heavy felicia. Thank you to shannon. It was such a great our football.

"Was joshua dobbs man. This is going to be a really interesting battle. You've got a veteran. That ben loves and when i say the ben loves when you go to the when you look at the sideline who's been talking to bend brought up joshua when mason rudolph was drafted. Ben is tight with joshua and joshua dobbs is look we know he's a rocket scientist. We get that. But he's an intelligent football player and we've seen that the very little that we've seen him play you can see his intelligence. I mean intelligence in football in a quarterback real it shows and this is a guy that you have going up a a young player. Like dwayne haskins maligned. His first two years that is known for is known for athleticism. We ben roethlisberger said he can throw a football through a car wash without again wet. That's awesome but there were mental lapses. This is not to say. The dwayne haskins is a dumb blair. That's not to say that at all. But there were some mental lapses. Does that give. Josh dobbs a possible edge on that bubble against dwayne haskins tony. We'll start with you. I mean he's been in the system off and on since what two thousand seventeen. It's going to be differences in this year with with a a new coordinator but it's not going to be totally different and as you said he's obviously Extremely intelligent and he's he's probably the best athlete in the quarterback quarterback in all marriages. Rpo quarterback nowadays they. Everybody has to be mobile. And and and in obviously also have a great arm so he certainly has to is accuracy might up to snuff quite yet. But i think he'll definitely have it more fighters chance of sticking around the fbi hive comments of the live chat. That's all i'm going to say about that man. I've created a monster. They're tony. I'm agreeing with you on that shannon. I keep thinking of the the one of the worst games. I can ever remember last year's lawson cincinnati and they had a think he's ryan family was the order bag and dude k. Throw the ball. But he's got a little bit of mobility and they use the to take advantage of the steelers over aggression and a lotta keepers and peos and they scored enough and move the ball enough to beat the stores. And i think that dotson is that kind of he can throw the ball better and family. I believe but he has that potential to be used like that Especially in spot duty or to relieve being versa. minor injury or something of that nature But the fact that being respects him he has is on the sidelines. He sees the field and he knows how to communicate with men No quarterback wants a guy by bagging him up the wants his job. They want a guy. Who's they're ready to fill in. But they don't wanna guy that's the the crowds always gonna anytime they interception. They want the backup. Buddy and dobbs is that guy you know. He's he knows he's role in other words and that's one of the reasons why i think being respects him so much and You know haskins has a lot to prove. I mean i've been. I wrote an article about him but he is free nothing yet. he's you know. He's at dr shorts and sewing in a ball round and yeah a lot of guys look good doing that but can you do it in the pocket. Kenny handle the pressure Show the maturity to handle the pressure of expectations. Because he's going to start getting them with training camp choice. We had some success in the pre season. But bob yet no definitely not tape. Boys is somebody that i really respect. And i love this comment and i cannot get this up here. Haskins won't last on the practice squad. He's absolutely correct. You're not going to be. You will lose him if you put him on the practice squad it's It's too easy to pluck him off of their dobbs not so much. I really think at this point. Dobbs's somebody that there's more upside. And i just really love the athleticism and what you're gonna get in the number three position. There's more upside shannon white said something about you know. Can they win ms thing. Can this guy win. Absolutely were he's shown flashes of it in a bad franchise with washington in this environment. I really think that the guy that's going to bust. The bubble at quarterback is going to be dwayne haskins. So there you go. That's that's just my opinion but if we are going back to the david decastro talk from last week. Be rock so with that being said. There's one there's one question that we had and it was. It was back there. So i can't remember. I can't remember who to attribute to it but it wasn't a super chat. So i'm just gonna go ahead and say this. Oh well rivers and reginald ask how many undrafted free agents make this team chicago brown. Is somebody the west brought up. I really think she core brown is a guy that is going to make this team at corner. I really like what he brings to it. I like the gilbert kid mark gilbert. I believe from duke and from the area. I think he is a good player in the lamont. Wait another defensive. Back out of penn state one of those guys make team two possibly three now. But what. I'm thinking here is if you can take those three guys who do you think. Out of those three of the undrafted free agents burst that bubble. The favorite has court brown That was the guy that had the the fantastic. Pf f grade As far as a big ten corners and he he was supposed to be a mid round pick and he didn't even get drafted so he would he would be my favorite to burst that bubble.

We like to go back into our black and gold delorean in a we check out games from yesteryear. It gives us an excuse. I get to tell my family. I'm working when i'm watching the steelers and bills from nineteen seventy-nine fool games and it's awesome and i'm going i feel like i'm going back in time. I feel like. I'm sitting in three rivers stadium doing it and i like one thing that i feel like i'm doing. I feel like i am one of those fifty five thousand seats on that on that concrete and girder. That is three rivers stadium today just about an hour ago my son was out and he he helps out one of my scout moms in and she has an ice cream truck and she's from pittsburgh and he came home and said that i've got something for you and i'm like what is that and he presented me a plastic bag and the plastic. Here's a plastic bag in. The plastic bag included this This is a piece of three rivers stadium. Wow and her. Dad got it because he lived right by the stadium and when it went down he was able to get a couple of pieces and this is a he got this twenty years ago and it is now mine and i was in tears receiving this because i have a piece i almost. I almost bought my wife. Tried to convince me to get it and it was when we first started going out. I almost bought a seat from three rivers stadium. I will own one of those one day. I've spent a lot of ice. Oh my first game at three rivers stadium. December fifth nineteen eighty two. Excuse me nine hundred. Eighty two with my dad. I can't believe i almost messed that up With my dad bradshaw seventy five yards. John stallworth but now i have a piece of that stadium and a lot of people that look at this are just gonna see a broken piece of concrete to me. This is glory and this is three rivers stadium. So thank you. So much to my friend christina. Thank you so much to connor for presenting to me. This is i will cherish this forever. So i just wanted to bring this up. And we're talking about the nineteen seventies. we're talking about the one thousand nine hundred eighty s and other great things in nineteen nineties. So that's what i got. So i'm so you know what brian if you put if you've made a necklace if you put a necklace on that and you went to cleveland in whoever their owner is they're they're they're bigger mayfield's neck he would be he'd be like kryptonite kryptonite. Yes they hardly flavor horrible joke but whenever you know what i mean well it was nice having tony on the show. We'll all right shannon. Says just you and i. I tell cabin with the screen. I don't know that was really weird. Maybe that was your kryptonite so now that was just a lot of fun. I did jerry to thank us. And i guess i did. I did mess up. So i'm going to bring this up. Jerry says to me out show is the ending part of a show of a song. But what what i'm saying is the altro to the show when we go into commercial. That's what i meant by altro but steelers pittsburgh says this. And i'm learning because i did not know. This altro is a layman's term. For coda so very interesting so we learned something about music as well so i might have If i did screw that up. I do apologize. I i'll have to go back. We'll have to check instant replay. But i'm just going to say that. I was probably wrong kathy for it. You know how much i love. Kansas kathy and Kathy says much better than my chunk of the berlin wall. That is pretty awesome. If you've got a check of the berlin wall frady darn cool. Michael o'malley whoa. Whoa michael o'malley. I own game pants just like bad. I just found the finney payments. I don't know i'm sure. You know this shannon white. I have my very own pair of bj. Finney game were pants and they don't fit me because apparently according to zach banner. Bj finney had the smallest waste ever. And when you look at the pants he wears a size thirty eight and he's a three hundred man. That's just did you know i only those pants. I look absolutely dreadful. So i'm trying to drop the lbj's because my wife says you cannot wear those out. I am not only the pants. But i like i black games to his own hub. 'cause i'm really i'm really on the team So whoa whoa. Whoa so mike. O'malley you've got elaborate. He says his fit better. You don't have fini's who do you got you. You've gotta we can't finish this show. We can't go onto the eighties until you let us know that. So that's really great So dusk thunder has the old nineteen seventy nine iron bears. I do still have some with with some in it but man they can when they leak. That's smell that. Trust me i. I would rather i would rather smell casey hampton after today's than smells here. So so we'll wait on mike o'malley but while we're doing that let's go to the eighties so we're going to bring a guy in from the nine thousand nine hundred from two thousand nine hundred eighty s and you don't have to bring him a superstar you could bring in a guy that just hits nine hundred eighty s still one of my favorite absolutely one of my favorites dealer decades. They were because i grew up with that. And tony to two. But for me. I i just thought those teams were a lot better than history says that they were. Who would you add. And i'm going to start out with shannon white. Let's add somebody to the nineteen eighties in this. Probably be simple or could be difficult. Well the eighties heads. Pretty good offenses. But the defense started getting older and I would have to bring james harrison in the eighties. The reason why is because he was he was so violent is so physical that he would have been filed with the rules in the seventies and eighties that they started to penalize them for later in his career and he would have been a great addition with this physicality that would have been perfect for him. I love deebo. Their tony thoughts. I like it. I like it. I think that's perfect. I think he would shannon. He would have been a much better era for him as far as you know the playing on the fringes of the of the Yeah i i like it. Wow i i really like that. Because i think he's i think he's his hairs jack lambert anyway as far as like all the fans just love depot and. He's probably going to be his nine jersey. It's going to be the fifty eight. You're going to see all the legacy jerseys twenty thirty years from now. They're all going to be ninety. Two's like they're all fifty eight today. So i think he. He would fit much better in the eighties. Here's my question..
