And i also want you to give us a little bit of background on the Bros. because as it name suggests there is more than one so if you give us that great to brethren of mush so we are at the mush grows. We are four Philly area guys. Who love chopping it up and Places some wagers occasionally winning them And it's a good mix a couple of them. I tweet a fair amount on the account. A lot of amount We got swaggie mitch. Involved in this venture We've Eric john eric thinks hoagies involved here and sporty spice kind of our analytics mind. He's you'll hill rarely tweet. But he's putting out some power ratings Couple of days ago so it can be confusing understand who's tweeting observational game stuff. Nfl nuggets usually comes from me. If i put out plays kind of sign it with a with a wave for wavy davey But this kind of became a year ago and they wanted to get a gambling account. One asked me to get involved and I have a lot of experience in this racket And i thought it would be really fun. But i said look i need them. You know. I don't want wanna go out there as may so Wavy davey it was and We really appreciate the support. We're getting we're hopefully you know producing some good content interesting content and most important out winning picks. We crushed week one and it's a long long season and we look forward to a lot of success. Why like about you guys. You guys are kind of kindred spirits me. I feel like because you guys also believe that you can be smart about gambling and entertaining at the same time and i think you guys are awesome with that and that is why. I'm super excited to have you on the show tonight and pleasantries aside wavy david. We got a lot of business to get to because these early season weeks and the end of the season the nfl sixteen games. And when you do a show that's in the neighborhood of a half an hour. It's you have a lot to get to in a little bit of time. So let's do this and we're going to start with thursday night football before we do that. I'm gonna hit the brakes because i'm terrible at this. If you want to get involved with the show. We have the live chat on both youtube and twitter. Hit us up. If comments are interesting informative or they just entertain us in some way we will put him on the symbol. Talk about you behind your back in front of now. Let's get to work thursday night. Football got the new york giants. They have three and a half point underdogs taking on the washington football team. Total down to forty one as a little while ago. now davey earn eagles fan. I'm a giants fan. But i think we're both on the same page as far as quality of the new york giants which is to say. They're not good. They didn't look last week when they lost. The denver. broncos twenty seven thirteen wasn't even as close as the score indicated there washington football team. They did play close game but they will as well to the los angeles chargers. What do you think here. Thursday night. Football between the giants and the team. This is an nfc slobber knocker. jay I think that i don't i mean i'll watch it for sure but i don't think i want to get involved a whole lot here you know in week two. It's important to remember that. A lot of what we talk about is based on what we saw last week right so most people are going to react to what they saw a week ago and i was lower on washington than the market coming into the season. Everybody talks about this vaunted defense in there good but if you do a deep dive into some of the quarterback they face last year i mean that frontline that front seven front four specially is terrific You look at the other side sioe like maybe. A power outage maybe. I don't know what's happening there. The undertaker is coming. You look at the other side of the giants are just horrendous. I mean since the legendary. Tom coughlin retired is hired three coaches. We had ben mcadoo pat shurmur and now joe judge she got to psychopaths sandwich between a beta male as my friend swaggie. Mitch likes to say and they're just stuck. This is daniel jones. The guy now you know. He's good for a turnover. he's going to be running for his life Jay this thing went from four to three probably. Despite most people i hear are the easy bed is to make in washington Washington with enclosed as a two and a half point favorite hosting the chargers. They're now three three and a half against the giants. What what's the difference. Certainly fits magic being out Is affecting that number. I guess but you look at taylor heineke. I know you remember last year in the playoffs against the box. We were all over Washington plus eight and a half he put in a gutsy performance and One of the angles. I like to play across the number of sports. Is you know when a top star quarterback player goes down. It's sort of rallying affect these guys love the grant. I'm sure they're excited for him. To play. i think will elevate everybody's game But that said i'm not interested in batting. Yeah i just i. It's one of those things where i'm hesitant to bet the short week game every week. Anyway and you throw on top of that daniel jones versus a backup quarterback. I'm hesitant there. I'm also hesitant because of how bad both of these teams were defending third downs last week. The washington football team let the chargers convert seventy four percent of their third downs in week. One that was the worst percentage defensively in the league. The giants weren't much better. I mean they were around. Forty five fifty percent against the denver broncos i just i don't i don't trust any facet of either of these teams right now and for me I'm with you. It is a layoff you have the averaging three yards a carry right now even though they drafted running back second overall in an actual. Nfl draft the there disaster. So i don't want any part of them. It's terrible just a couple of things here. You know traditionally historically this thursday night game has has tended to favour the home team's That being said the giants seven and one. Ats their last eight. Division road games Washington football team one in six in their last seven as a favorite. You don't have to bet. Every game folks and i'll just be hoping for carnage on both sides while i'm hoping for carnage on one side but i'm afraid that that's not going to happen. You wanna tell about sandwiching beta males and things of that nature giants. They refuse to draft a quarterback during a good draft class then they drafted daniel jones the other choices twain haskins in that draft. Both terrible both don't belong in the league and then the next year another great quarterback. So that's that's what. I live with here as a new york. Wave cattlemen right. He's the gift that keeps on giving. He's he's the worst. He is the worst said his job in the entire league. And this is a league. That includes the houston texans by the way. He's he's worse he's worse. Yeah we're gonna move on before. I have a coronary here. wavy david. And we're gonna move to a game that is not nearly as near and dear to my heart we're talking about the cincinnati bengals taking on the chicago. Bears bengals two and a half point dogs here on the road. Total forty five and a half the bengals. They pick up a win in their first game of the season and i'm starting to soften my stance on show burrow. He looked really good in the season opener. What do you think here. It's the andy dalton. Revenge game right.

"All right sean. The washington football team. What what was your final record. There on the six and eleven. Lock it up. The washington football team aka the redskins. I did find it a little bit annoying this year. as we as i'm searching around stuff having to type in football team and an toggle through that bullshit last year of course they won the division sean Going over five and a half their win total. They wanted at seven and nine cheese this year. Eight and a half is the win. Total minus one twenty on the over plus one hundred under two one to win the division twenty two to one to win the conference fifty to one to win the super bowl plus thirty five to make the playoffs minus one. Seventy five to miss this team almost be. You could argue. That gave tom brady his biggest test in the playoffs. With taylor heineke. This was a team that got. No quarterback play no quarterback. Play it all last year. They brought in fitzpatrick they brought in curtis samuel Who was a stud down there. And carolina brought in a cornerback. William jackson Brought in Adam humphreys is he relevant is. Are we gonna be talking about adam humphreys. Dfs this year again. No catching passes over the middle for not for w i'm weird and Of course in the draft. Yami brown James davis it seems like the defense is going to be good again James davis i. I like that pick. I think it's i mean you get started. I i guess talking about the defense. It was elite last year. It was one of the top units number one down the stretch in the second half of the year. But we do see this right when teams go from bad to good. They tend to regress a little bit the following year. This was the twenty seventh defense the year before according to devi away they bounced up to third and if you look at even the splits from last season fifteenth in the first half of the year i in the second half of the year it does seem like there should be some natural regression now. The the problem is it's explainable. It's explainable because they they brought in a guy a game changing defensive end like chase young and they brought a defensive. I coach and they turn things around. I still think you should expect some regression but the other side of the ball. Worst offense in the league quarterback play by y we can. We can talk about it. I guess if you want but has to be a step forward with ryan fitzpatrick coming in right. Yeah no i mean is ryan fitzpatrick better than twain. Haskins yes is ryan fitzpatrick. But then kyle allen and alex smith hanging onto his leg there. Yeah sure but let's be honest. I as a guy who was a big ryan fitzpatrick backer and liked him on that. Miami dolphins seem because it was a perfect match. They never should have got rid of them. Let's let's be honest with who ryan fitzpatrick is fifty nine. Eighty six and one as a starter. One winning season that he completed entire season. We don't see this where all of a sudden you're in your sixteen th year in the nfl and really hit your stride as a quarterback journeyman. How many teams he's journeyman. He's got the beard of a journeyman. He looks like he's about to go down fish out a ticket. Canary down to a coal mine again. I i like him. I like the swagger but let's look at this washington football team right. There were seventy nine including they needed the win against an eagles team that pulled their starters at the very end of the game. Here they needed to look at saad field and again they pulled their starters. They didn't play a lot of their starters. They explained that before they went into the game. There were zero and three in three point game. So maybe that regresses a little bit. But i mean some of these some of the winds they had. You just look at They they didn't beat a the only beat one team with a winning record. They had a plus six point differential. I just don't. I just don't think this team was that good so i think their offense is going to get a little bit better but like some of the winds they were getting. I just don't think they're going to have those easy wins this year. Twenty eighth and schedule as far as twenty eighth hardest based on win totals. They have eric flowers on the team. Which is a massive red flags. We're pretty good. Since he left the giants they they have sold skill. Guys i know. I talk shit on the antonio gibson but it's more just i don't think he's a first round pick and fantasy. I do think he's good. I still think he's gonna lose third-down work to jd mckissick. So that's why. I don't think he's that high fantasy. Why's he still going to be good. And and i think he's gonna put together a decencies into the turf toe. Things still scares me off. As far as maybe as rushing yardage total overall but he's still solid term maclaurin good receiver. They have a good defense to me. It's just. I don't see them getting like double digit wins because of ryan fitzpatrick and i think the defense is good. But the offense. I think will still be limited because of the quarterback morgan eight. You know eighth-largest jumping dvd on defense since nineteen ninety-three expect there. There may be a little regressions. The offense can't take a big step forward in the defense becomes closer to add closer to mediocre which. It's still should be good here. Here's the problem. They could be a much better team and still have a similar record. I think that's in the cards for the the debbie teas so i and strangely i do think that the washington football team is getting some sort of fantasy bump here people very excited about as you mentioned antonio gibson we like Term maclaurin. fun fact about him. He's one of only thirty player shawn since the merger to have two thousand receiving yards in his first two years there have been two other third round picks or later to do that. Any wanna take a stab at either one of those. no idea. markey's colston mike wallace. Wow narrower together. Everyone against those guys You you strap him with curtis samuel. Will he plays. You're gonna come back from this situation. dom brown who had the highest adot in the draft class. So you're like okay. This sets up well right. We're going to have vertical passing game here with ryan fits magic. What something he does. Great here is the problem. He outlined all right so first of all before we get to that ryan. Fitzpatrick was not their plan. Their plan was matt stafford. They weren't able to close that deal. They weren't able to make that trade. They settle for fits magic. And here's the problem fool's gold. Last year. he had an eight point. Three percent devi away went under pressure. Which is very high sean. So high in fact that the only other person with a positive away was patrick. Mahomes at point six. What did we learn earlier. This off season performance under pressure tends to regress back towards the mia. He was astonishing. The best in the nfl last year at it all right seven point. Two percent of fits is throws traveled. Twenty air yard twenty at least twenty yards which is the fifth lowest percentage in the league. What does that tell you. He actually doesn't throw the ball. Downfield that much. So this is a. This is a false narrative being pushed by some media elements..
Pardon My Take

"It's tough it's tough rather firefighters. i'm. I've almost reached the point where i can. I can admit that twain haskins is going to be very good quarterback. So he's getting. I i think i think i think he's getting all the snaps for the steelers. He's looked so good in the preseason. Not but i don't know he's one of those things where i'll be like. I've done this before now. He's not who holds strong. Who thought about hangs not. We'd haskins. I was on the easy your last year or two years ago for me. It's painful because it's a player that you got rid of you know he's not. Don't worry i'm telling sure. Trust me now. Because he's look good. Yup that doesn't matter okay. Yeah you're good. I'm still nervous. It'd be good All right i got kind of a real fire fest. Sorry bum everyone. But i did get triggered. Yesterday had been a long time. So i got triggered online and i had a little introspection because i if you missed. We skipped over. Jake stressed on tuesday for time and then like people were complaining on twitter and i was like fuck this like whatever i got triggered admit but i had a little introspection and i realized that the passing jimmy hayes had affected me a little bit more than i lead on Not saying that. I'm was best friends at jimmy. Hayes probably out a few times great guy but the fact that his kids were the exact same age as my kids. Kinda fucked me up so weird week but i. It was like a thing that i didn't really. I don't know i kind of pushed it down and then like last night i was like you know this is actually really fucking me up as those. Put my son to bed.

"If you see it on replay recorded you don't have to buy game pass or anything like that and then the next time you have a few minutes. Just watch a little bit at a time. That's what i do. I have five kids. I don't have a lot of time to just sit down and watch tv. I literally turn off the. Tv's on before. I turned off. I'll turn on the game. Watch a few plays watch a series of drive and then i turn it off and just a way you to watch something different. I know dave scofield. He talks all the time about how he'll go back in. Watch a play twice especially in the preseason the second time he only the offensive line and i started to do that too. And you learn more about it. You see more things do you. Don't just watch the ball. I remember my friend and he was the friend. I've talked about him on the show before who passed away from aol about five years ago going on six years coming up. That's incredible when i think about it and he was just very novice football fan. And i'm not an expert in any stretch of the imagination when it comes to the game the way it's played but he was what we call a football watcher. He only followed the football so we will be watching the game. And let's say the steelers are on defense and he would watch the opposing quarterback or the running back. Whoever has the ball. And that's it we will. I'm watching james harrison. Get held off the edge and the governor. That's a holding call. And he's like. Did you know that tribal. I've seen these games back. Though you'll see a lot more than you think you'll learn more but the steelers showed me everything that i need to see last saturday night. What more could you want from. Ben rothlisberger and this article the david for the website and i agree one hundred percent with him. He's at after saturday night. Detroit lions gains dealers. Win twenty six to twenty. Everyone wants to talk about the backup quarterback position really why the starting quarterback just went out played three dries to those were scoring. Drives touchdown passes to pat farmer. Isn't that what we should be talking about. Isn't that what we should be saying. Wow instead everyone's pointing it mason. Rudolph didn't score a touchdown twain. Haskins didn't look that good mason rudolph should have had an interception who cares. That's what we're talking about. That's what i want to talk about today. Screw the panthers. So yes dwayne. Haskins is going to play. yes it was mason rudolph. Yes so is joshua dobbs. I don't care anymore at this point in time. My mindset is now onto the regular season and i'm sure that the nfl the team the steelers are doing the same. Exact thing i'm sure. The ben rothlisberger mad. Canada adrian clan in any other coach coach. Mike sullivan the quarterbacks coach probably already starting to sit and watch film with the buffalo bills defense getting a plan together thinking about how they want to attack them in. That's what i think. The fan base should do to mike. Tomlin has often said that. This preseason finale game is really a good chance for young players to get tape out there and yes. Some players have made the team from this fourth regular season game. Preseason i'm sorry for preseason game but ultimately it doesn't matter ultimately this game is not important ultimately. This game is not significant in. If i'm mike tomlin which by the way at the moment this has been recorded he has not said whether the starters are going to play or not and i hope none of them play in. I know i talked about how ben rothlisberger would play him. I thought about it a lot since then. If i were gonna play anyone this upcoming game i would play the offensive line that includes all of them a core for dotson green turner and banner read the main reason. Being they just need repetitions together. I would probably play a lot of my running back depth. Let's benny snell is actually healthy enough to play because he did not even dress versus the lions last week if any smells healthy enough. I'm getting him in the game. And i'm actually seeing what he can do as a player give him a ton of maybe rest nausea harris. Why this is the point where it's okay yes it's a long lay-off yes. I understand that. But i saw him last week from certain players. That don't need to see him again. I don't need to see cam hayward again. I don't need to see minkah fitzpatrick again. I don't need to see. Joe haden again. I just don't i. Just don't i know that. Maybe i'm taking a one eighty here and now go to the other side of the coin but ultimately. I saw everything that i needed to see from the pittsburgh steelers starters last saturday night. Screw the panthers forget the panthers. That's what we're talking about here. Maybe now's when the focus should go to the regular season and that's not to diminish these young players that are trying to make the team but we're talking about players that are either going to be on the sixteen van practice squad or we're talking about players that are literally just going to be fringe players. Most the time rain active. I know that we love to talk about those can't battles. We love to talk about all of that stuff but when it comes down to brass tacks what are we talking about. What are we what we're talking about. All we're talking about are those few spots on the fifty three man roster that filled yet and so i'll watch i have to watch but i'll watch for that reason but ultimately i think that the pittsburgh steelers when it comes to where they're going.

"But regardless you know him. Being paired up with jared goff. I think it can work because i think You know golf is gonna look for security blanket. I think he's that guy I'm not a big fan of the wide receiving core for the lions. I mean i think could be okay but the lions are just not going to be a good team this year. But you know i think golfing hodkinson. I think it could work. you know. Goff lights to You know target the tight ends back when he was with the rams you know between be an everett i think hopkinson can definitely benefit from golf being as qb. Obviously it is definitely a downgrade from stafford. But i think awful target. The tight ends a lot more You know just. Because i feel like the receivers you know. It's a little a little iffy with them. But yeah after that Like i said logan thomas. i think he's going to do really well with With fitzpatrick i think this could be a big year for him as well. I think he can do more of the same of what he did. Last year. You know and this was with alex. Smith is as quarterback and twain haskins. Now let's see what he does with fitzpatrick who you know. I think is a more explosive quarterback. Now i've talked about the inconsistencies with fitzpatrick a lot. But i do think there will be a lot of games where fitzpatrick does really well in. The offense will definitely benefit from that. So logan thomas other tight end I also of dallas goddard. It was. I was debating on it as going through the tight end. Listening listing for here too. But you know. I think zakar. He's not going to have to re establish himself as a tight end until he does that. I'm kind of just going to assume that. God is going to get the bulk of the targets in terms of the tight ends and you know when he plays a decent tight end. It's just you know last year he did. You know deal with injuries. He missed the handful of games. But you know when he played he was decent and i do think that a lot of people will be drafting him. Hi this year then. I was wherever albertan. I mean he was great last year with the packers really Came on strong towards the you know the kind of the middle end of last year. You know scoring five touchdowns in five consecutive games. You know Obviously had that three touchdown performance in week. Four kind put people on notice and then he kinda cooled off In the middle of the season and then towards the touchdown in five straight games you know so. We'll have to see you know if you can replicate that. i mean. i think he'll do well. I mean i think he you know working with george kill and training with him. I think that definitely really helped him. So i think he could definitely repeat what he did last year. And then i put noah fancier noah fan definitely a guy that i think a lot of people are hoping he can you know. Take a jump in be that tight end that a lot of people are expecting him to be hopefully But hasn't really shown that You know is okay But we'll see. I mean the way. The broncos offense looked you know in that preseason game if that's what's to calm i mean broncos team is going to be dangerous and i was saying how the giants are definitely gonna win week one after that. I know it's preseason. But after that i mean i was like i. I don't know but we'll see again. It's only preseason. You don't wanna overreact to the preseason but you know that's you know that's my opinion on that but Yeah so that's your swimming on a tier three Mike irv smith junior. Johnny smith hunter. Henry tyler higby Rob gronkowski and you know what i'm gonna throw. I'm gonna throw berkshire in there as well and gerald everett. I'll throw them in there You know with these guys. You know the titans from new england. I think would hurt them as obviously they're going to be splitting targets. Kind of i mean jonah. S- is going to be the guy that's going to move the change. I think in hunter henry is going to be a guy that you know will be in the red zone big red zone target but the other thing is both these tight ends are hurt right now. So that really hurts new england because these guys are really going to be the focal point of this offense because you know you look at the wide receivers. The wide receivers are not bad. But i think the tight ends are really knows. What's going to make this offense successful mike. I put it to your three just because inconsistencies you know. I think that you don't like he has a tendency. You'll put twenty three points and then the next week a put up eight. I'm looking at Six statistics from last year week. Five hundred eleven point six okay. That's good right then. The following week he leaves a go sag. I mean that's just so frustrating as fantasy manager. You don't know what to expect from him Obviously i mean you'll get look at week. Thirteen fourteen That was with tour as a quarterback he had nineteen point three points. Twenty one point so i mean maybe two over the course full season. Maybe you know plays better. I don't know we'll see I mean obviously with fitzpatrick you know definitely put up good numbers. But it was inconsistent. I think general he's just an inconsistent titan. Want to see gronk. I put a tier three. I mean you know gronk was okay last year. You know definitely was better. You know as the season progress yet. He did have A three-game stretch between week. Six week eight where he averaged. you know. Twelve over Well he didn't really average. But yet a touchdown in every game. I think that's really what helped him. you know. he had sixteen point three or fourteen point. Seven twelve point one through those three weeks But there are definitely games where he disappeared. And i i again. Gronk is not what he was from four or five years ago. But i do think he's a guy that you can have as a backup tight end On your team so Yeah i put him at tier three earth smith. Juniors a guy that i think will see a massive jump in fantasy value will definitely have a lot more a lot. More people drafting him as opposed to last year. Vikings really don't have a number three tight end right now and i number three options..

"Camp recap podcast. The pittsburgh steelers were back at practice. Wednesday at heinz field. It was an ugly day weather wise but a good work day for the pittsburgh as they wrapped up their public slash open portion of training camp. No more practices open to the public. They will practice on thursday in the morning at ten thirty practice and then that is it. They won't be practicing friday based on the fact that they play the detroit. Lions at heinz field on saturday and then following the game. That's it training. Camp is a rap. They will have one final game to prepare for all that preparation will be on the ups's sports rooney complex. Not even try said that correct. I think it's cheap. Emc rooney's sports complex. That's where they'll have the rest of their preparation before they have to cut their rosters down from eighty to fifty three and then once they get to fifty three. That'll be it for the regular season barring injury so it's time that we talk about what happened today in practice before anyone says know. Is this the last. Training camp recap podcast. I'm not sure if the me is going to give us a lot of information about training camp practice on thursday. Then i will absolutely be doing another training camp. Podcast the final one in the afternoon evening but we don't know what they're going to do so this could be the last one on. I could be back again tomorrow. We shall see. So as i stated earlier. Not ideal circumstances for the pittsburgh steelers. It was raining at heinz field. They took the tarps off and they said let's get after it didn't rain at the beginning portions of practice but then the rain picked up towards the end. The defense was starting to kind of get back together. Antoine brooks who has missed training camp since the hall of fame game. He was slotted to be these slot. Nickel cornerback on that defense. He is started to return to practice. And that means that the steelers will have base. It had basically all of their defensive players except for tj watt obviously in steph onto it continues to work his way back as expected. No chase klay pool chase. Klay pulls mild lower ankle sprain or whatever you wanna call it which happened. At the very end of yesterday's practice is not expected to keep him out. Long chase klay. Who was on the sidelines today not participating so updates on team drills today the steelers did a ton of team drills likely as the last practice with fans they did have pads on. Here's a couple of snippets from team drills. Dale all your decay pittsburgh sports. He said ben rothlisberger carrying out a big pitch fake was talking about when they faked the sweep then rolls to his right from the misdirection in fires. A fifteen yard out from bro prior vsbn. Dwayne haskins tried to force the ball deep to anthony johnson on the final play against got defense and it was intercepted by mark gilbert. Brian back of the pittsburgh post because that's a couple of big plays just now by the steelers scout teams mark yogurt as we mentioned picked up twain haskins on depot. Then kevin rader just at a long catch and run over the middle versus the starting defense daily again mentions james. Pierre breaks of a deep ball that was thrown from dobbs intended for sexton brook prior. Espn's ben rothlisberger fines. James washington for about thirty yards of the middle for a touchdown on the first play of seven on seven work washington. Making the most of his time with clip on the sideline mouse killebrew then picked off ben rothlisberger on a deep shot. Intended for deontay johnson. Pierre was in coverage might have been pass interference but he certainly tried to force one in there. That was from brian. Bad gail the practice is reported by some was not very exciting. It was rather dull but it wasn't uneventful. The steelers obviously still were able to make some plays good sideline catch by cody white. Joshua dobbs had some great throws so yeah kind of adult practice but nonetheless doesn't mean that there were plays made rothlisberger had his kids there for that rainy practice at one point. He had the his sons on the field to play catch during special teams work. Benny snell who has returned to practice. Who has kaelin valid or balaj. Sorry balaj listen to this from brooke prior. Espn vinnie finished off. This team period hitting the whole through the middle of the line in ripping off about a fifteen yard gain. This is the most. He's been in the mix missing time with an unspecified lower body injury as i mentioned earlier. This is the last practice with vance. And what was the last play brian. Back reports the steelers last practice with fans ends with the five yard touchdown for mason rudolph james washington who went up in. Got it over. Top of mark gilbert then in ear missed by pat farmington. The back of the endzone looking only got one foot down. So that was the final play for those that might be curious about the punter slash holder updates. Because they have to do. Both chris boswell is doing some kicking cam candidate jordan berry is the one snapper holder. Pairing chris coons christian coons in presley. Harbin is the other ben rothlisberger even held one from coons riveting stuff obviously at steelers heinz field practice They did say that. Chris boswell was kind of pushing some his kicks to the right early in practice and that was with both holder so wasn't just with presley harbin or anything like that. Okay folks that does it. That's a raft for this training camp. Recap podcast. I hope that you.

"Hundred fifty seven yards twenty six touchdowns also added three hundred and thirty eight rushing yards. I'm sorry no i'm wrong. This is his sixteen game pace. Okay here was what he didn't seventeen games. It's even better four thousand six hundred twenty nine yards twenty eight touchdowns. Three hundred fifty nine rushing yards in seventeen games and six touchdowns rushing as well and he scored twenty or more fantasy points in eleven of his last. Thirteen starts out or something like that. He was very good. He had a very high floor. I heath i think we can do just just one more unless you want circle back before he Just because we mentioned demonstrate On monday zach moss returned to practice and apparently according to athletic at a very good showing up. Put them ahead a single terry going to be one of those things. I think that fluctuates back and forth these guys but apparently he did get back into the in into the mix and and had a good showing to ashley. This is random but we mentioned dwayne haskins. He says a as the dynasty guy do a lot of dynasty content twain. Haskins is he maybe a little dynasty sleeper right now a deep dynasty sleeper. Yeah it would have to be a two quarterback or super flex league but He should be stashed in those formats. I mean i feel like everybody's pretty much deep dynasty sleeper right. I mean yeah. That was a criticism of me suggesting gets cut by the same. i'm not sure that he's a deep dynasty. Sleep world cup for devante freeman. I think that crosses the the list. Although devante freeman was not a deep dynasty sleeper and now he might be there you go. The thing with with asking is A is the steelers heir-apparent. Because i don't think he's got a long term deal with them and be is been done for sure after this year because they've left the door open i think if he plays well maybe bringing back is enough on wayne. Haskins heath final keeper sleeper. Yeah i'll go with justin fields and it's not just because of the great preseason game but and and i do think what jamie says right. I'm a lot more excited about fields in a one quarterback league than i am a to quarterback league because i don't know what he's gonna get to play but you just man with the happy already got after one preseason game and the fact that we pretty much know any dalton's going to get destroyed week one by the rams seemed like everything's lining up for fields to start week two and it just be his job and i still don't really know why he wasn't more popular. I don't know why he fell all the way to the bears. He was an extremely accurate passer. Who's also very very fast and just runs. People over is a complete stud. Why mahomes fall to the tapes. Why did watson fall to the texans teams. Make mistakes for whatever reason you know. I know again. The same group of debts faded. That was with this weekend. Prior to the draft they were saying let the jaguars take lawrence. We won't field you know in the goals may be better than than both those guys but I i'll tell you. I struggle with this Fields over overland. I don't know where you come out on this adam I think both had the chance to be really good. And you know you saw some of the highs..

"Because it's a new beginning. It's a new coach. Nick suryadi is in his by the way. What do you like about syria. Because i always head and say. I forgot that he had the new head coach. Go that your buddies with that. You either pulled off the boat after having a couple couple of beverages. And you're like oh hey we have to go to this business meeting after your afternoon on the boat. Or he's the guy that had like he's just he just seems relaxed and and i know that it's not quite the dan campbell of coaching scenarios. But there's just no why. Thank goodness in philly. You think dan campbell would survive in philly. I don't know if dan campbell can survive anywhere. But i think he's an adventure and i like to choose that adventure or we'll get to he's campbell. He's had any time. That man opens his mouth gem. There's just something about. And i think that this works in philly because it's it's like the guy who just came off the boat and is like super chill gone to the business meeting is going to let it roll a little bit okay. He's still says that. I have basically all the same jobs. I'm still doing the same thing that. When i wasn't a head coach i've just picked up a few new job titles and i kind of appreciate that and i think in a city like philly where there seemed to be a few opinionated fans along the i feel like that is that makes you someone that is A little less susceptible to some of the shots fired okay. I think a lot of times in we can say this as parents right like if you're dealing with someone who is upset and who was raised their volume and it has a problem with something in you. Countered that with low. No you meet them. Lower terrible it sounds like that maybe could be something that serves syriyani well but he's only gonna go as far as jalen hurts. Goes and hurts was a bit of a mixed bag last night. Like this stat. Line isn't gonna jump off the screen. Three of seconds seven four yard his. You mentioned it when it came to domecq jones the yards per pass okay. He's north of seven as well is jalen hurts. You'll take that absolutely absolutely take. That here is hurts himself. We have that. Sal jalen hurd hurts given his own assessment on his preseason debut us new smooth especially being out there with a new seller coaches own. I always talk about having a new situation. Maybe you have new experiences that come along with that and it was good to get on grass on the field with them get coach from him And talk about what we saw on the field. Definitely a lot of stuff we can learn from from the day. Let's be be real with with jalen hurt like the eagles didn't do him any favors with their offensive. Roster management in the off season is still in greg ward is it is a nice find. But he's he's your wide receiver to jalen rigor as wide receiver. One maybe that changes with what has watkins did. But this is a run team. They're gonna use the tight ends. Dallas goddard's eckerd's at i if i'm an eagles fan. I'm a little frustrated. I'm excited about what hurts. Does a full season of jalen hurts. There is buzz. There's momentum were moving in the right direction you would have liked to have seen maybe a wide receiver addition in free agency do those massive swings quite yet. The expectations aren't sky high. It's like you can go out. You can have an eight eight season you can have attendance sixties and you can be improved you can get better and then when we spend the money to bring in those guys now. I expect you to win. And now you've got a season under your belt with your new head coach. The head coach. Keep saying with work on the consistency. Let's work on the rhythm. Let's work on the timing and he has the year to speak that same serianni language. Then we're gonna go out. We're going to spend the money and now we're expect you to win and ten in six isn't good enough anymore. All right well by the side of the. What about the steelers. Ben rothlisberger guy for at least one more season seasonable eighteen. But who's behind him. It's an important question because rothlisberger already played fifteen games last season but to expect that at this level of his career. You wanna have your. That's why they brought in twain haskins and he's competing with mason rudolph has conflict good haskins. His looks good in haskins is sort of been the flashy wine but the contract situation is weird because haskins is on a one year deal approved deal deal and which you're not really going to get a ton of time to actually prove it unless something goes way sideways with rothlisberger which you never know code. There's age and all of that there but mason rudolph is under contract beyond this year. So that's the interesting yeah week. Let's the yeah but right right so the steelers could yet but this only get to stay with mason rudolph and see what we can get and a trade or whatever and then trade away. Yeah no sorry. I did that and reverse. Yes i know which no i since two forty times the brain stops working mandelson's and i think i just reverse that but you know what i'm saying. I do what you're saying. In the the the the fact remains that the offensive line took such a hit Through retirement roster moves injury season ago in the second half of the season. Running game was atrocious and india. They invested in nasha harris for this season like they drafted him in the first round but only as good as his offensive line. We don't know how good the offensive was good enough last night. It was good enough against the eagles. That may not be saying a whole lot. I think even eagles fans would agree. Maybe they're defensive. Line doesn't strike too much fear in the hearts. Well let's hear from mike tomlin. We have mike tomlin on the lessons. He learned from the preseason opener. Listens.

"The narrative changed a bit but anyways That maybe the the gap is slightly narrower only take two takeaways from pittsburgh and philadelphia really only one thought twain haskins looked better in the first after a couple of aaron mrs in the first half that were reflective of his time in washington. I was gonna say dwayne asking but Quest watkins caught my eye and he's been sorta but he's one of those who have preseason. Darlings is so fast yeah. He had ridiculously long touchdown. And there's fantasy value here probably the most enjoyable highlight of the night. And maybe just maybe he is if you play. The deep dynasty league and i've upped the number of dynasty leagues. That i'm playing in like i recently concluded the draft or twenty eight rounds. Where like you go to the end of it and you're literally drafting like anybody. Yes i mean. I'm telling you it's like anybody's getting draft like stephen montas is getting drafted in that league. The washington third-string quarterback. So i'm like oh watkins. That could be on the radar. That's the guy you know what maybe one last thought. Actually and this probably like. It's probably a year away but ramachandra stevenson from the patriots. Their fourth round. Pick out of oklahoma had a ninety one yard touchdown run. It was one of two runs he had last night. Maybe he's a important name to file away if you do play in a keeper or dynasty league because james white sony michelle brandon. Bolden are all going to be free. Agents next off season it could be the damien harrison ramachandra stevenson are competing for carries just a year from. Now it's pretty good player as a pretty good player i. He's a guy the in two different big dynasty leagues that have been a part of and he somebody that the damian harris manager specifically tried to target to be able to make sure that there was a. I'm not sure. I agreed with that philosophy but i do understand that like i'm really excited about the youth in that team. Mack jones damian harris. What they have. There's there's some there's there's some movement through. I mean it's been a while the patriots young. That's the thing is. It's just a whole new patriots team and i'm interested to see way that bill belichick. We've watched tom brady over so long. How is he going to change. Or how is he going to adapt. And how is it going to help. These young players be what they are. I'm excited to see. Yeah something different something new and again. That's about as far as we'll go with these. Preseason games perhaps over the weekend. We'll have some more notable things take place especially with trae lance Justin fields zach wilson every other trevor lawrence. Of course every first round quarterback will be action between last night and sunday. So let's look forward to those first round quarterbacks but I think it's enough from last night's action. Let's get right to s double-trouble travel.

Spotify does not matter find as follows. Subscribe you won't regret it there. You go all right. let's go. Everyone loves my winners and losers. I don't know why it's maybe it's because people are. Can you kind of get a good grasp of who did well. And who didn't do well. And i understand that understand this. This is just my list. Okay so if i'm saying something you might say. I totally disagree with you jeff. That guy should have been a loser or should be a winner in. That's okay. it's okay to disagree but this is my list. These are my winners and losers not yours. but let's go over. Let's start with the winners. And i'm recording this early in the morning on friday morning After the game just do the work having recorded late. I really don't like these thursday games. I'm glad this is the last one but here. We are talking about the winners from the twenty four to sixteen victory in the first on. My list is pretty pretty easy. I wanna dwayne haskins twain haskins. Listen to this stat line. Sixteen for twenty to one hundred and sixty one yard. Seven point three average one touchdown no interceptions with a rating of one zero eight point. Three now you be saying sixteen to twenty two one sixty one. It's a ridiculous stat line. He played maybe the tail end of the first quarter the whole second the third and then even into the fourth based on the fact that the steelers had the ball at the end of the third and they wanna let him finish the drive that drive ended up stalling out But he got the steelers in the red zone. They were moving the ball. Well he was finishing drives only one drive that he ran into the red zone. Finished with a field goal. Another touchdown and i tried to explain this in. It's tough it's tough to put into words but if you're someone who watches the steelers you actually watch the games. I mean pre-seasons different not every games on tv if you get sunday ticket from direct tv you're not guaranteed to get every game. If you're able to watch this game you would see. The dwayne haskins just looks comfortable and again. I can't really put into words. I'll do my best. But i can't really put it into words. Exactly what i mean. Dwayne haskins just looks like he is comfortable and mad candidates offense. You can call him captain. Check down whatever you want. He made the throws that he should have made. And he had a misfire early in the game. I think it was second quarter. And i said on twitter that he threw a ball and he scrambled his left rolled out. And he's mobile enough. He's not a running quarterback but he's mobile enough. He gets outside the tackle box. He has a throw against his body. It's difficult throw to make. I understand that. I wasn't the the direction of the throw. The receiver opened by by. Gosh he threw it ninety nine miles an hour when all you had to do is just lob over the linebacker get a first down and move the chains. It almost pass. Everything settled down everything. Slowdown looked good. Making the right reads. He was able to get the defense to jump off. Sides in the free play was his lone touchdown pass. Dwayne haskins looks good. I would love to see it. I'm not calling it. I don't think it's going to happen. I'd love to see on saturday in the steelers. Third preseason game against the detroit lions by the way. Mike tomlin said the ben rothlisberger is going to play. That shouldn't shock anyone. It's the third preseason games what they've always done with ben so they're always going to do with ben ben going to play a little bit and i would love to see dwayne haskins come in next not so much that it's a cut on mason rudolph but more so let's see what haskins can do right actor rothlisberger done. I would assume that they're going to keep the offensive line together for a little bit longer. I wanna see what he can do and keep some of those receivers in there. Let's see him. Throwing passes to deontay. Johnson juju smith schuster. And maybe some others. Not just eric brown being one not just the second tier players. I wanna see it. We'll see if it happens next. I can't believe it people that. Listen to my podcast all last season. You're probably thinking. Jeff is so tired right now because it's so late he's delirious. Why in the world. He put on his list winterless. That's right justin lane or as we call them here on the my right eye call. Crew calls him lust. Jane because he that all stems from last season. I i said something about him blowing an assignment and he came after me on twitter Justin lane he finished. The two tackles one solo. One pass defense in an interception. But i'll put this simply when i was reading an article for the website. I wrote five defensive players to watch and i included justin lane and a lot of people might have read the article and said why in the world. But i want to watch this guy. He hasn't played well. He's a third round draft. Pick the steelers if they can turn this guy into something boys at a swing and a miss artie burns swinging minutes. But it's a swing amiss and so for justin lane. I'm sitting here. I'm like if he's just make play man. Just make a play. I don't i don't care for him after what he did on twitter but at the same time. I want to see him succeed. Because he's done equate to the steelers succeeding in he. Did he made a play. You can say that the interception was because jamir jones or the pressure on the court. I don't care we've seen so many defensive acts drop interceptions in the past. I was just happy. Made the place of justin lane makes my winters list another one. I'm gonna put them together. I feel like. I have to put them together. And that would be dan moore junior and kevin dots and now these players did not play with the starters. They were with the second team but man these two guys together. They were road graders. They were mauling. The eagles second-string defensive line and third string didn't matter who they put out there that left side because remember daimler. Juniors left tackle. Kevin datsuns left guard when they were in there together. They could've ran down the lower than the left side of the field. Every single time and it would have been there. It would have been opened. They were gonna make holes and they would have busted off five three to five yards per clip. It would have been a beautiful thing to watch. I get why they didn't but boy were they. Impressive in for kevin johnson. This guy has been drug through the mud his name and no fault of his own. Mind you it comes back to bogus. Reports people that are taking reports and twisting them into their own narratives. Mike tomlin's words being taken the wrong way and kevin dotson did what he should have done..

"Tall fame. game was cool. It was nice seeing football on the. Tv was it bad football. I don't care so many people were complaining. Oh does it just boring foot. It's what you have football sixteen to three pittsburgh. There were some interesting things. That i i noticed dodgy harris looks like he's going to be the real deal and seven carries for twenty two yards. But on we're talking about fantasy football. There i'm not saying he's first round or but maybe second. He could be a big deal this year. Also mike parsons on the defensive side who i liked. Who is one of my three for the broncos to take ten he. He looked pretty good. Some big hits three tackles in that game. But he's he's going to be. I think dallas actually is going to be pretty good this year. I mean you get dak prescott back fully ready to go that wide receiver. Core looks good. The offensive line looks good. The defense looks pretty good. My big question for dallas is like can ezekiel elliott bounce back to being one of the top running backs and league on the aside for pittsburgh twain haskins. Get another shot after just never worked out with washington. Dwayne haskins wins eight of thirteen and fifty four yards mason. Rudolph on the other hand. Seems like he's been there for a while. Now sixty nine eighty four yards so it was cool to see the hall of fame game up. Liked it having it on the tube and then seeing all these hall of famers then it kinda got me cooking on. wow peyton..

"The curtain subscribe. Follow so that you don't miss a thing. Things got heated though on saturday based on the fact that they had the steelers their first training camp scuffle rookie fourth round. Pick from texas. Am dan moore junior. Big dan as they call him. No not not. The former big danny used to be the steelers he got into it with isaiah bugs and also cam hayward on consecutive plays outside of the fact that if i were giving dan more some advice i would say. Hey maybe pick who. You're gonna fight a little bit better not so much bugs. But i wouldn't want to get into a scuffle with cam haven. We'll put it that way. But dan moore junior a lot of people that when he they drafted it and he was drafted by. The steelers felt the more lacked that tenacity that he lacked that Really the ability to be that hard nosed. Just get after a type of offensive lineman. Well maybe he's proving to the coaching staff that that's wrong. Maybe he's proving the he is more than capable of doing just that and so maybe this is the first step for a young player just trying to make a name for himself in the national football league. That was not the only play made. There was no worthy robert. Spelane proved that he can do more than just hit. He had a beautiful interception of mason. Rudolph a one handed interception on a pass for mason for ray ray mcleod. It looks like explain. Is going to be the inside. Linebacker next to devon bush and so far so good for spelane. Navy being a starter. After vince williams retirement the offensive line for the steelers was rather beat up. Kendra greene was given the day off for a personal matter. Coach tomlin said it was excused. Bj finney jc has now are. They were both injured but they left under their own power. Everything seems to be pretty minor. Speaking of injuries of made this is not really injured related but then office was given the day off today And so you can go ahead and get out the pitchforks and torches and people get so mad when rothlisberger sits out any practices whether it's training camp preseason or regular season But this deal is going to get a better. Look at mason rudolph twain haskins and joshua dobbs marco. Bali of the athletic pointed out that rothlisberger had the day off at his typical for years. Now they've had him go one full day one day. That's a half day which was friday and then a full day off. During training camps today was the third day he should be back on sunday before. The players had the day off on monday Melvin ingram was making a lot of news today. He spoke with the media after practice. But also it was noted that melvin ingram was lining up multiple multiple spots and positions on the defense He obviously can rush from the outside. He'd been outside linebackers since he was drafted but he also was a standup rusher over the a and b gaffes of on the offensive line. He is someone that can play inside and outside and ingram said whatever the steelers asked him to do. He'll do it and if that's the case obviously he'll do it. Kevin dodson is a player that has been out because of injury something minor in approved to be minor based on the fact that he has not returned team activities but he was working out today at a helmet for the first time and it looks like he just knows some type of tweet. I think my thomma might have used that word. And he is listed as a starting left guard on the initial roster so hopefully kevin dots and can make his way. Back more from melvin ingram He spoke with the media and he talked about his overall love for the game. Football sit his body feels great a lot of fans myself included or wondering. Is he heard Know he's had a history of injuries in the past He's gonna he had an injury last year. It's part of the game physical sport. He said he's he's not one hundred percent. He's two hundred healthy. I'm not sure how that works. But that's exactly what he said Also from melvin ingram. He was asked a question. Or i guess it was more of a statement and he interrupted the reporter. They said you've got a james harrison built. He said no. I've got a melvin build. So he doesn't wanna be compared to james harrison He's his own man for sure he was also asked. Why is he wearing the number eight. He wore fifty four when he was at the chargers. He said that he Where's eight because he was number forty four in highschool and obviously in of also for kobe. Bryant is a number Other than that. The pittsburgh steelers You know it was a workout. Where the definitely. The physicality is ramping up. They have to get ready for the hall of fame game. That's when the camp scuffle start That's when you start to see the pads coming on the pads officially be worn and hitting while be happening next week. That'll be the first live practice at heinz field. And i'm sure that the fans that are going to be in attendance for those live practices cannot wait to hear the pads popping to see the team because remember last season They did not get to witness training camp at all They haven't been back at saint.

"Fairly certain very ferry fairly. I guess that's a good way to say it or not that you know the steelers are not looking to have an you know someone who would even bump ahead of alex minutes unless there was a problem after scenes went on. You know. put that he's gonna come into camp d day one he's going to be that guy opposite at c. j. What so you've got to see if if increments that i mean that's not. It's not a big characteristic thing for the steelers to bring in someone you know. At his age he's thirty two. You know at this point of his career on a really on a big deal. It sounds more like a smaller contract. Possibly just one year. You know veteran minimum or or small two year to year. Deal where you can push some of the money into the second year things like that. It's just really interesting. I don't really know what they're going to do that. But i mean you say about. He had the injury struggles. Did have a four year stretch from twenty fifteen to two thousand eighteen where he didn't miss a game. Yeah it i mean so. It was early in his career and then it and then it was the last couple seasons where he struggled with that. So it really league is gonna come down to. Is he going to to be willing to do what the steelers want him for. That's what to me. That's that's the alternate thing right so we're going to spend it on a ton of time on this. That's not what the main crux of this podcast is all about. We're trying to get you ready for training. Camp if melvin ingram or someone else is a part of that but that's great if not worry we're going to plough ahead as if he's not we'll put it that way. And we are going to be predicting the fifty three man roster pre-training cabinet david. I've done this periodically throughout the off season. We did it before we and then we did it after the draft did it after free agency and here we go before training camp litho lead up. We're gonna go through. The offense and defense will do offense in the first break. I don't think there's as many questions in terms of the fifty three in the on the on the offensive side. That i could be wrong. And then we'll get a defense and special teams in the second half to round out the show. So dave. are you ready. I am ready all right so this this article will be running later in the week in will attach the podcast to it as well. But let's look at the quarterback position We all know the depth chart. Datum let you go first In who do you have making the fifty three men roster of the quarterback position. How many players in. Who are those players. Well i've. I've got the typical three quarterbacks and i have of course. Btr benjamin tundras burger mason. Rudolph is the number two. And i might not be the most popular opinion. But i have josh. Dobbs is my number three. Because that's who's going to be there until i see something otherwise to make me change my mind ends. It's what we're going to do here is. I'm gonna then say if. I agree with dave or disagree dave and in this case i do disagree with one of those players. I have rothlisburger. Rudolph is one too. I have dwane haskins making the team in. I know that. There's it's a very low risk Dwayne haskins we all know that but we know that joshua dobbs can play but we also know that joshua is a player that was traded last season so he wasn't even valued enough to keep him on the roster twain haskins e bring him in barring him completely falling flat on his face which could happen by the way in the preseason i think twain haskins makes the team. Maybe they trade joshua dobbs again. I'm not sure it depends on what else is out there but so we both have three players. You have dobbs. Let's go to running back dave. You have running back. i have them going with keeping. It's funny keeping quote unquote extra whether they even had more than this in the past. They've gone with this few three. I have them with four. I've got the the obvious nausea harris. I do have benny snell junior. Anthony mcfarland and jalen samuels. Because once again i i kind of put the kaelin balaj into the same boat as dwayne askins that he's going to have to knock somebody else out of there. I saw until. I can really see what he can do. I'm not a mud. Put that kind of expectations on. I have the same for megan a team. But i feel like one of the training camp battles that maybe no one's talking about too much because it's all about secondary stuff we're talking. Special teams. Players is jalen simmons versus ballad. Daniels has a connection with canada. We know their time at. Nc state dallas has was one of those players. do you take this for what it's worth but in during. Ta's enduring mandatory minicamp. He was the attention of reporters. Will one of the reasons was that the running back drills always done right below where the reporters were standing and watching them work out into. They had an up. Close personal look at balance in what he was able to do. Several writers were really high on balance. I could see him. Maybe making the team. I don't know if it's going to be an impact player. If he's even gonna helmet on game days does he play special teams. That's a big question. But i agree with david. I think those four harris snell mcfarland and of the ones that make the team fullback. Let's not even waste our time. Derek watts guy is going to win it and let's go to wide receiver. David you have a wide receiver. I've got the same five that they finished the year with an play. The entire season with last year of juice misused deontay johnson chase klay pool james washington and ray club. I have the same five and again like i said. I didn't think there was a there. Were many unless there's an injury and i don't even know who would even draft a wide receiver this year so i don't even know if they were to change anything you know. This guy's going to unseat. Ray mcleod who that guy would be. They don't have a ryan switzer type so in terms of wide receivers. I think this is the group. This is the group and it's just a matter of can they perform and can they stay healthy. Let's go to tight end. This is an interesting position here. Go ahead oh tight end i. I made a change from this earlier. I'm really torn. I think this could be one of the more interesting camp battles. I have them keeping three. I haven't been eric. Hebron pat fair move. At first i had kevin reiter now. I'm back to think it may be the wanna around with zach gentry again Mainly because i think raiders and easier to get on the practice squad. If you know what i mean but i think they could put they wanted to. They could even go with two here and put both those guys on the practice squad. So i'm going to be flip in those guys. Probably all preseason based on how they're playing originally with raider because he does offer special teams play so much so he played in the playoff game last year. But then the more out of. I'm like well. Zen gentry did lose his job because of injury and sealers are with. When when you get injured they don't like to lose. Lose your spot that's usually. Nc's it not between seasons right but so therefore you can flip a coin right now with either one of these guys really gonna come out of the preseason.

"The question is does he want to get help. And will we get help. Yeah maybe this will be the thing that will be the impetus for him to see that in the eyes of many around him that he doesn't hell yeah and The video getting out there is is interesting. It's probably got over a million views. Now it's it's crazy. Everything that happens is video now but again. Here's the thing. One of the biggest problems that we have had and have had in society in general has been domestic violence issues where there are people now twain haskins went to a different type of domestic violence. So it's not just men sometimes it in a very rare case it could be a woman. You're if there are guns or some sort of a weapon involved it gets even that much more intense and the dangerousness of it for the people that are called to try to mitigate and get in the middle of it meaning the cops goes to show you just potentially what kind of nastiness they could be running into here and this is why you know those people that are out there advocating send in the the social workers. Don't understand what you what the cops run into in many of these cases and how it's completely they're running into somebody that's out of their mind and could be on drugs could be so angry at some situation. That's taking place that you're gonna need somebody there. that's physically. Bill has the ability to take somebody down if they have to be taken down and in this case that was the case. Yeah i i just that it just goes to show you just impossible job that you have when a frantic phone call comes in nine one one and you have someone like richard sherman in the state that he was in. Who didn't want to be arrested. Just richard now because we're talking about because he's he's famous but you only time. This happens every day every day. We never hear about or the only time we hear about is when somebody's bitch and complain at the cops showed up and were overly physical on somebody when we don't all know the facts of what's happening but we could see the facts here. Sure you can see him right there in the video. Yeah it's amazing. You didn't get through that door. How violently he was slamming himself up against it and also the d. y. Attached to this a ran into that construction zone to and he left and he left the side of the accident he did. Yeah hit and run. That was one of the other charges. Yup so this is a.

"The steelers preview we went live and we predicted the schedule. And i want to say. I had them finishing about twelve and five. Remember seventeen game schedule. That's gonna it's gonna take me years to not say oh the finish nine and seven or something like that so i think i had them winning about twelve games even if they won eleven games in comparison to last season. It's gonna look horrible. But i just want to remind everyone. It is a tough schedule. But if the i still think last season if they would have faced some on field adversity earlier they faced adversity. My goodness no one was impacted more from covert in the delaying of games and changing of by weeks. Then the pittsburgh steelers no one no one not even close so they had versi last year but it wasn't on field adversity. They never had that game where they should have one and they lost and you learn from it and you get better from it and we all say it. It's better to win lose. That's true you can. You can never say that. It's better to lose in a win but sometimes losing can bring out character. Losing can be the best educator possible and the best to really get yourselves focused and get your mind right last season when they were eleven to know everyone was riding high and and all this stuff and winning. Never let never heard of her. That was the quote that chase claypool. Put out after a win It's it's just one of those things. Where i feel like this team could actually be better suited for postseason run if they struggle a little bit as long as it doesn't go haywire. Meaning injuries are running. Rampant in the steelers are struggling. That's not what you want all right. This next one is one. That's really fun. What if twain haskins is actually the future again. This got brought up on my tuesday live. Let's ride show on the locker room app. Someone brought up dwayne haskins. And i had someone in the a chat area on the half as well and they said. Oh you know ben. Roethlisberger had the quote earlier this week. He's dwayne haskins. Throwing motion is just perfect. He said he. I think he could throw a ball through a car wash and it wouldn't get wet he. The kid has a canon. He's always had a canon and i laughed at that and they will probably because dwayne haskins missed the car wash through through to windows and i chuckled. Laughed about it because it was a funny comment but at the same time. What if dwayne haskins actually pans out. Think about what that would mean if he actually stays with the steelers organization. He makes the team. Maybe joshua dobbs's cut. He's a third quarterback and then next year if brothels burgers done. it's an open competition quarterback. What if he wins. The job in actually plays well. Guess what now of a sudden. The steelers have their next quarterback in waiting in. Guess what they got him for practically nothing for practically nothing. No one wanted this guy. Now could i be wrong here absolutely. We're playing the what if game but when it comes to. What if dwayne haskins can play. Well any is the future man. That is tantalizing. It is tantalizing to think about because dwayne haskins. This preseason is going to have a ton on his plate and he's going to have a grade a opportunity to show the steelers organization that he's not only a good quarterback but he's a changed individual that he is done with the stuff that happened in washington last year. That's in the past. He's mature he is taking this job as that a job as a professional and he's ready for it. If dwayne haskins is the future steeler fans should be ecstatic they should be absolutely ecstatic because of he's the future that means he's proven his worth. He's playing well. And how awesome would it be to go from one franchise quarterback to another. You may laugh and say jeff. This kid sucks. He was a first round pick. Came from a big time school. I know ohio state. Quarterbacks typically don't play well in the nfl but it only takes one to break that trend. Keep that in mind all right. Let's do the last one here. I found this one to be fun. What if the trio of kendrick green pat firm and nausea harris or the new offensive core for the pittsburgh steelers. Think back to when rothlisberger was there two thousand and four. He gets drafted. We all know how crazy year was. Big ben becomes a thing. it was rothlisberger. It was beddis. It was fantasy. I mean you could go. To hines ward even. What if these three players in maybe a quarterback depending on who that quarterback isn't a few years are the new office of core. Heck go back to just a few years ago when it was brown bell then you had pouncey that core offensive coordinator. They're kind of missing that corey now. What if green fryer mute in nausea harris are the core that is just waiting in the wings to be the next group the b the next guys. That would be fantastic. I have really high hopes. I gotta be honest. The more that. I think about this this team the more i think about this rookie class. The more i get excited not so much that i think they're going to duplicate the success. They had in twenty twenty but the fact that they are just. I feel like there's something very special about this group about this rookie class about this coaching staff and about this team and if these what if come true because they could and again you might say you might have sat there with your treadmill driving to work listening on a train on a bus at school. I don't care where you are glad you're listening to me by the way but if you disagreed with hananel seven out of ten of those what ifs said. There's no way that happens. There's still a chance at a does until dwayne haskins gets cut. There's a chance at pans out. Keep that in mind. All right folks. that's finish his little heart to heart so on thursday thursday morning. The pittsburgh steelers Their official website twitter account.

"This is a good question. It's a good question eli thanks for chiming in. I appreciate it Good call for me. My favorite game was the indianapolis colts game a lot of reasons so that was a game that was on television for me. Because i get sunday tickets. I get to watch all the games. Even though i'm out of the market area days go via did not get the game. He had to come. He came to my house listened to watch the game. I always love having other people Come over and watch the game but not only that my father was in town for that game and it talks a lot about. He listened to my. Let's ride podcast every monday wednesday friday. You know. I talk a lot about my dad and my brother and we grew up watching the steelers every sunday together. And my brother lives in richmond and my dad still lives in wheeling where i'm from and so we don't get to watch a lot of football games together so anytime we do even if it's just one or the other I treasure that time and so not only was it. That day was over. My dad was there but also the fact that the steelers came roaring back in one. The game a clenched. The division gave fans is a glimmer of hope because things were going sideways row quick and we know hot finished but that was by far by favorite game of twenty twenty and There were some others. I mean. I love the first ravens game in mt bank stadium. Going into winning Even came down to the wire it mighty shouldn't have the task up. His patrick which the ravens fans by the way are still crying about by the way still crying about that. They still figuring pass interference. They don't understand the rules. But you can't expect understandable. Sorry eli thank you for that. I appreciate if anyone else wants to speak on locker room. Send in speaker requested. You glad to have you on to talk about the pittsburgh steelers in the meantime as we always do on this tuesday episode. We're going to dive into the twitter mail. Bag by rider die crew on twitter. You can follow me on twitter at j hartman. H. e. r. t. m. a. n. underscore p. I t. alright. Kamenda's says ben singing lots of praises for dwayne haskins. Do you think asking takes the number two spot from rudolf this summer. That's a really good question. And i saw the quote that rothlisberger gave This is tuesday the first day of the second week of phase three of. Ota's would that's a lot that's a mouthful. The steelers are in the second phase of the third phase of ot as which means they could do football like things they can obviously seven on seven nine. Nine eleven eleven. There's no contact. We all know that. That's that's a no brainer No context no hitting notepads. They can wear helmets and they can wear shorts and their jerseys and he said that dwayne haskins he just loves is throwing motion. He loves him as a player he thinks that he i think the quote was and i hope i get this right. I believe that he said this. Is dan rothlisburger. Mind you that. Dwayne haskins could throw a football through a car wash and it wouldn't get wet. That's exactly what the that's exactly. What he said about dwayne haskins. So you say take that for what it's worth. I mean literally. Take it for what it's worth. I'm not going to put too much stock into that. But i think you know the fact that rothlisberger talking about haskins It can't be a bad thing. Here's a player that a lot of people myself included have said for at least a couple of months now that he's wildcard. The dwayne haskins is the wildcard the draft a quarterback in. Let's play the what if game. What if dwayne haskins actually pans out in the national football league. What if the pfister steelers got lucky so lucky that no one wanted this guy. Never forgets dwayne. Haskins visited the carolina panthers after being released from washington. And guess what happened. They didn't want him. He ends up with pittsburgh. What if that's their next quarterback matt canada's offense. I'm not saying it's going to happen. I'm not even saying that. I hope it happens. But what if that's incredible if you think about. That's just incredible aren't so brian. I want to say the last Lalic layla he puts in the discussion on. This is the locker room. abbey's steelers fans. We're waiting fifteen years to reclaim the underdog title. And it's it's been a while since. I got to go back to the early cower eras really able to say like we're the underdog and then also says that because hassans completely missed the car. Wash part of the building broke into winners. I'm not su-. I'm not bashing on dwayne haskins here. Because i think the wayne haskins has a lot of potential living in maryland. I did get to watch. I don't know if it's like something you would tout that you get to watch the washington football team or the former redskins but they're on tv every week here. And i watched a lot of dwayne haskins early on. I feel like he's assistant quarterback if you put him in a good system he's going to succeed he does not do the ben rothlisberger things where he's add living and moving around. He's mobile enough daytime arm. That's ever been a question but this guy was a first round. Pick for a reason. And i know everyone brings up things like ryan lee in all these other. I john ticks. But still dwayne haskins in. It's gonna be fun to watch. He was definitely one of the seven reasons. Why said steelers fan should be excited for the preseason. We're going to finally get to see what dwayne haskins can bring to the table. In just ben rothlisberger bringing his name up just bringing his name up. All of a sudden has a lot of or going on surrounding him. People forget the joshua dobbs even on the roster base and off got the extension hobie with the steelers next year so it should be pretty interesting to see how that all plays out. But like i said twain haskins is the wildcard. He is the wildcard. You're listening live on locker room and you wanna chat put speaker requests. I'd be. I'd love to have you on and i. It's about the halfway point of the shipping ticket with break. If you're listening locker. Don't go anywhere because i'm not going anywhere. If you are on the side we'll be right back. Support for this episode comes from locker room.

Washington Football Team releases quarterback Dwayne Haskins
"The washington football team released their quarterback dwayne haskins. He's a second year quarterback out of ohio state and it's pretty rare for a guy drafted in the first round to be. I mean especially at quarterback drafted in the first round to be released less than two full years into their career. It's kinda crazy almost never happens. And i really use the word. Almost is funny. 'cause i almost didn't want to even make this topic. I almost didn't wanna talk about it. And i'm like i have to because people are going to want to hear an updated thought of some kind. I've covered dwayne haskins a lot this year in the offseason. I feel like i've talked to him. A bunch and the reality is that i could tell you that. He's he made mistakes here and there and i could list all the things. He's done wrong but the reality is between twain. Haskins just makes me very very sad disappointed and man. I like low key. He dug his own. Dwayne haskins made mistakes off the field. He made mistakes on the field. Poor play poor decision making in every facet of his career and like he was a guy who was immature off the field. If he got in trouble had code violations had all kinds of stuff he like unprepared. Week-to-week playing games. I don't know what's going on with the guy. I wondered at times where his dad because you would think somebody would be in his ear telling. Hey jude you gotta understand the opportunity you've been given in the nfl. And dwayne haskins is a guy who has a lot of talent who only started one year in college. You came in a little bit. I think too early to the nfl and clearly was unprepared for the responsibility of being nfl quarterback. And i don't know how you look at this. It doesn't make you sad because it's a guy again who it's a missed opportunity. And i know people are angry and washington fans or like screw. This guy he look on human being level. I i look at him and go man. He's going to have a hard journey like he's he's very rich and that's really cool I know he bought his mama house. I hope he bought it in cash. I hope it's paid for. I don't know. I think he's going to have a hard journey. I don't know whether he's gonna get another opportunity on another team. You would think that some teams going to take a chance on him. But the biggest red flag you can have for a quarterback is that he's not a good decision maker that he's immature off the field and he appears to be that kind of guy who like throws the ball well enough to be an nfl quarterback but throwing the ball is not at all what it takes to be a quarterback and I i don't know man. It's concerning. I know that when he came into the league the rumor was that the owner wanted him but the coaching staff did not add. It was kind of a a problem from the start and dwayne haskins. Never really he was never like very impressive at all in washington. And it's just a sad story of the guy who i think again didn't understand the responsibility. It takes to be an nfl quarterback and i think wasted an

NBA Draft 2019: Latest 1st-Round Order, Predictions
"And ladies and gentlemen, we have a new mock draft out Mel kiper Jr's three point. Oh is here with us. And we are looking forward to the draft. Mel will join us in just about an hour to talk about the new mock draft. But there have been some changes in the draft specifically one less quarterback. Now going in the first round then in mel's two point oh mock draft. So we have four in the two point oh mock draft with Daniel Jones from Duke rounding out of the last pick of the draft to the patriots in the first round of thirty two. There are only three quarterbacks now in the first round, according to mel's latest mock. And obviously a retirement might be a big reason why and the quarterbacks have changed as well. Right. As far as where they're they're going. Well, Cuyler he still has Tyler going number one derozan. Well in his last draft Cuyler going number thirteen to the dolphins. So now and this draft he hasn't going number one. He had. Dwayne Haskins going number six at a giant Kyle Murray. Going number thirteen to the to the dolphins. Drew lock going fifteen to the Redskins and Daniel Jones going thirty two to the patriots. So as you mentioned Daniel Jones now out of the first round, according to the latest mock draft by Mel kiper, just three quarterbacks Murray number one. The main says Dwayne Haskins at number six, and you start to hear reports that the giants may go defense was six and then was seventeen go quarterback. But right now twain Haskins at six and then drew lock sitting there at number thirteen for the dolphins. Does the only three quarterbacks in this latest first round. Yeah. Going to be very interesting because we know what the giants listen one thing. Dave Gettleman has made very clear he does not feel beholden to tell us his plan. And so I don't feel overly beholden to believe. A lot of what we're hearing coming out of the giants can't because if you've got a guy who's basic messages trust me, I got this. Well, then we understand he doesn't feel like he has to tell us the truth. So as we hear these things. Coming out. We also understand this time of year is about deception to an extent it's trying to manipulate the draft order trying to manipulate the opinions of certain players. So that you can try and put yourself in the best position to get the guys you ultimately want. So it makes it difficult to try and read the tea leaves it is although I have to say on cattlemans behalf. He said all of last spring saquon Barkley is a generational talent with the second overall pick. And that's where he went. Look, I think we all agreed. There has to be a quarterback in the giants future. Whether it's at six or seventeen trade now Cleveland, but it would not surprise me in the least if Dave Gettleman waited until the second or third round to take a quarterback this Dave Gettleman, he created that created, but he he made the term a more of a vernacular in the NFL draft hog molly's when he was the GM of the Carolina Panthers. He loves the big guys to hog mollies. And let's be honest. This draft is going to be decided outside of Kyla Murray. More than anything else about the big defensive lineman in this draft. The hog Molly is on the defensive side of the ball. So depending on your draft grades for your quarterbacks you could take one of those at six and then a quarterback at seventeen it all depends again on your on your draft great. If twain Haskins is highest on the board and draft grades. You don't pass that up. If you have a Dwayne Haskins drew lock. And whatever other quarterback equal in grades. You know, maybe use that seventeen pick baby can trade it up somehow to get one of those guys as I said, this always comes down to grades. Do. You have a choice amongst grades. Are you close enough in quarterbacks where if you don't get one you try and get the other? But we'll see we'll see, you know, one of the biggest changes in from the last two this for Mel was they had the patriots taken Daniel Jones a quarterback, and this one I serve Smith junior the tight end from Alabama going, and that would not be shocking at all you have really three out of the top tight end Hopkinson the kid from Iowa teammate, Noah Fant, and then Smith junior all three likely to go in the first round a three first round tight end to on the same team come on. And what would that tell you as we saw? The patriots jump into the first round and take a running back and Sony Michelle at the end of that. And now to see in the next year three tight ends going. We've talked about this. However, you want to split it. Last year were Quinton Nelson. Went in the top ten in the draft as an offensive guard. We saw roquan Smith going the top ten as a middle linebacker. The middle of the field is worthy. NFL is being built right now. And other teams are starting to catch up to what the patriots have done for years. The way that we've seen teams export that specific area and three tight ends in the first round would hammer that home not denying that. They are guys that are certainly probably more talented than usual tight end groups. We're used to seeing but it's also about value. It's why you see running back taking it to overall by the giants last year. I mean, the other thing is I think they're more interior linemen in this first round then quarterbacks right? Like, a not tackles guards and centers. There are more of those according to males latest mock than there are actual quarterbacks being taken which would be very unusual. So the top five in this new draft that Mel kiper put out is Kylie Murray. Number one of the cardinals Nick both the D N number two to the forty Niners. Number three. Josh Allen the outside backing backer pass rusher going to the jet number four Cornyn Williams. To the raiders and number five guy making a pretty big jump. Devon white going to Tampa Bay at five in the last mock draft he was number eleven to the Bengals now in mel's draft. He is sitting at number five number six twain Haskins seven Joon Taylor. The offense attack from Florida going to Jacksonville sweat, the D N going to the lions at eight Sean, Gary the D N going into the bills from Michigan and TJ Hopkinson. The tight end going to the Broncos at number ten. Here's here's what I wanted to talk to Mel about and one of the issues that I have laid on me big fella with with this draft comes, you know, some some point and one of them is there are few prospects in new first round projection who are making their debuts because of their combine performances. There are four guys who have jumped into mel's first round who weren't out there before again based on the combine combine performances. I don't understand that. I don't I don't understand that. If you wanna say. You looked at the combine to go back and look at tape of them. But to say, they're combine performance jumped them up that doesn't compute to me. Well, I think that's I think that's the assumption though, is because of their performance you went back and look and that. That's fair. That's why I want to ask them. How did this? Make you go back and study them more. Because if you're just basing things off the combine I got a real issue with that. Yeah. I I don't think you would do that or teams. But at the same time, you look at the positions of the majority of the players that would be involved in that. And I think this could be true for teams as well. It's interior offense. It is right. Three interior offensive linemen Terry McLaren the wide receiver, but when it comes to interior offensive lineman. You wanna talk about an area where the scouting grossly lags behind to actually great and overall draft. It's a difficult area for a lot of people to see and understand because you don't have the benefit of a lot of stats. You don't have the benefit of even the combine members necessarily always translating to production. So when those guys go and they paying and they flag in the model somewhere for what they do at the combine. And then you go back and spend some more time looking at a guy like Lindstrom who wasn't going to be a big name. He wasn't like, you know, Gary bradberry from North Carolina State won the Remington award this year. Like that guy was a stud Boston College was a middling. Okay. ACC team this year. So Lindstrom wasn't getting the credit. He deserved even being as good as he is. So you go back now, and even these NFL teams, maybe we're late to the party on some of these guys all of a sudden start giving them an extra. That's why I want to ask I just wanna make sure with Mel that because I'm just reading from the combine performance, and again, let's put a name. To those you mentioned McLaren the wide receiver who is one of the others. Chris Lynch reminder, you just mentioned from Boston College now. Number twenty one to Seattle Eric McCoy interior linemen going number twenty two to Baltimore. Right and the Garrett bradberry. The Senator from North Carolina State who is you mentioned one the Remington award is the best center in the country number thirty one to the LA Rams where they have an aging center, and John John Sullivan. And that was that was one of the things have been saying for the Rams the last couple of years that dynasties been built on the interior. If you land a guy like that good, Lord or you winning out it is. So we'll see how that plays out. Now, the one thing that I find interesting he he has drew lock the third quarterback Mel dozen his latest mock going thirteen in Miami. I'm telling you don't take out Denver at ten in Cincinnati of eleven in play for quarterbacks. I mean. Yeah. Denver made the play for Joe flacco. But John Elway has messed this up a couple of times with all due respect. I mean, that's just outside of getting Peyton Manning. He has not figured out the quarterback spot there at ten they might be in play for quarterback. And you have Andy Dalton with his situation with the Bengals and his contract situation. I, you know, I think that there's a really good chance that they could be in play with a quarterback there, by the way, by the way, Mel kiper Jr's mock draft not the biggest item related to the draft this week. That will have news for you guys. What more on that coming up later? This week

Kansas City Chiefs defeat Indianapolis Colts
"We will join the AFC division game between the patriots and the chargers. And then following that. We'll get the NFC. Division game between the Philadelphia Eagles who travel to New Orleans to face the New Orleans Saints. And then the racing report was saying the Sunday supplement and Willie from nine to midnight tomorrow night. So that's your Sunday rundown. Yeah. Let's talk a little NFL little colts with Ricky in Indiana. Ricky what's going on? Fantastic. Brother. What'd you think? Are you? Well, yeah, we're waiting on the Los Angeles Rams season to end because it looks like Zack Taylor the quarterbacks coach is going to become the next head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. So more power to the Rams and does act Taylor. Get a new coach in here. And let's get this program. Back on track. Because I don't believe it's one of the worst jobs that were opened in the National Football League. You've got a patient owner you've got out several outstanding players you just gotta keep adding to that Ed to the offensive line. And you know, Rick I can live with Devon white because I mean every mock draft see has LSU linebacker Devon white six one to forty. He's an absolute stud going to the Bengals at number eleven my feeling is. And I like the Bengals quarterback. Andy Dalton the red rifle. I think he can get you to the playoffs. I don't thinking he can win you a Super Bowl and a guy. Can I believe is Dwayne Haskins some day, and I like the Bengals to draft a quarterback into Wayne Haskins. He probably won't last two eleven. So you might have to go up trade up and get him. Okay. He's probably gonna go to the New York Jets or giants at six. Okay. And what what I'm afraid of is it the Pittsburgh Steelers knowing that Ben Rothlisberger is on the eighteenth tee of his career what one year max to me probably next year. Really should be it for Ben. They could definitely trade Antonio Brown because he is absolutely fallen out of favor with that franchise. Get a first round pick for him and use those picks to move up and take twain Haskins and. A whole bunch of Buckeye fans will become Steeler fans. No doubt. If that happens. So Ricky, and I know you're looking forward to baseball season, brother. So am I we're gonna talk who's going to be the reds center fielder? You got any predictions for me? Right now. Right. Well, I'm gonna put my chips to the middle of the table. And I'm gonna take Philip Ervin. Let's give him a chance and brother, we will talk soon. Appreciate the call from Valparaiso, Indiana, man. You are the man. Thanks so much Rik in Valparaiso Brandon's in Indianapolis, Brandon. What is going on paychecks for a little bit disappointed with I'm disappointed with the I like the Bengals stupid. I'm a colts fan. And what? Yeah. That was disappointing. They just couldn't generate anything and this this could be at for Adam venit, Terry. It is. I think it is what he's had a great career. You know? But I I don't know if it's the weather had an impact, you know. But I think Kansas City now takes I mean, I don't know if they can beat nor I could be wrong. You don't want everyone account New England out. But I thought we had a chance trickster, and I think a lot of people giving the colts a chance because. Defense is effective. But today, I think they just showed what they are about. You know, I think whoever has to go there. It's going to be hard for if it is New England or the chargers, but you never wanna Brady out. But I don't know. I think this year the chiefs get that stick it to them just kind of a morbid sense of if the New England wins tomorrow to have them get run out of the gym at Arrowhead. I would love it. Sorry. New England Patriots fans, but van I am tired of them in the in the AFC title game. I I am to see it as far as as far as the Bengals go. I I hope I hope they get the right coach. You know? I, you know, I mean, you know, the the Rams seasons. Don't go one. In hope. I wish the best for Marvin. I think he was a nice guy and all time for a change. But with the quarterback situation you were talking about Dwayne Haskins if the Bengals could draft him somehow cut me, they tried the read rightful or. Kind of like an AJ McCarron type deal if he would he would tutor Dwayne Haskins for a year and then Andy move on and make bigger dollars. Elsewhere. He would be trae trading. Yeah. He could he's like Alex Smith he could make a bunch of money elsewhere. But but the, but but groom Dwayne Haskins free year Dwayne takes over and twenty twenty. Andy Dalton moves on. I don't want to hear about what you're saying. Is you don't think doll the guy that can get you over the hump and away? Correct. Yeah. I think it probably win you a playoff game. I don't think you can get you to a Super Bowl and other that great guy. He's a good career. He's a good player. But I need an impact player taking snaps. As far as you say real quick. I know you won't get so much time as far as you see. Because were going on. 'cause I mean with not follow Butler, and because I'm from here. But. Did listen to you? See I don't think there's good as last year with oh, look who all you lost. But obviously football game tonight. But I did hear Macron's comment. He was not happy. But I think they're going to be okay. I guess against they're still NCWA. You probably know more about fourteen in three, and this is a very balanced deeper American athletic conference, and I'm loving the fact that Wichita states in there, and it's bringing back memories of the old Missouri valley when I was a kid, and that was the best conference in the land. And Brandon I gotta run man. Thanks. Yeah. Baby. I mean, I think so I really do. Yeah. They're starting to find themselves in just a huge boost to beat to beat Georgetown into comeback. Like they did. Thanks so much. I appreciate it. And I want to talk a little Cincinnati Reds when we return who is going to play center field for this club. And I wanna talk a little bit of the lineup one through eight man. Yeah. When we return
