He is the Steelers Standard on
0:09
Steelers Nation Radio and podcast
0:12
on Steelers dot Com.
0:14
We are working our way through each position group
0:16
in the NFL for the position
0:19
off season power rankings.
0:22
Today we land on the
0:25
top ten defensive tackles
0:27
in all of football. It was
0:30
sad for me creating this list because not only
0:32
do I not have him in the top ten, but.
0:34
Oh I got him. I got him in a JDQMDC.
0:37
He didn't make my jdq No, he's there because
0:39
I don't think he is. I care.
0:41
I don't think he is. I can't think he just stretched
0:43
it there because I care. That
0:45
was a Homer pick. Nope, that
0:48
was a Homer.
0:49
Pick right there. He's number thirteen, so he's
0:51
right on the edd.
0:52
My JDQMTC consists of the following
0:54
five men. Jalen Carter
0:56
from the Eagles, very impressive rookie season,
1:00
McNeil from the Detroit Lions. Derek Brown
1:02
from the Carolina Panthers, one
1:05
of the best players on one of the worst teams
1:07
you've seen.
1:08
At Oliver from the Buffalo Bills. YEP, got
1:10
him, and Keanu Benton at
1:13
number fifteen Pittsburgh
1:20
Steelers. I
1:23
could be like Bruce Buffer that was pretty good,
1:25
right.
1:25
It's not ladies and gentlemen.
1:29
All right, here's your JDQMDC.
1:32
You're lazy, thirteen.
1:33
Gen because my number eleven I have Ata
1:35
Oliver also in your JDQMTC, and my number
1:37
twelve I have Jalen Carter could
1:40
be higher TVH and number
1:42
thirteens where I got capin cam.
1:46
Don't think that that was just a little hommersh.
1:48
You don't think.
1:51
Okay, all right, number ten for
1:53
you? For me?
1:55
Number ten? This man? What
1:57
can I tell you about this man? He's been around this league
1:59
for a while. He's an elder statesman.
2:02
He's a Super Bowl champion. Now I'm doing
2:04
the whole show like I'm Bruce Beffer. It's
2:06
Vidavea from the Tampa Bay mccanneers. Via
2:10
I made a Pro Bowl once in his career, back
2:12
in twenty twenty one. He has been
2:14
one of the more solid nose tackles
2:17
in the NFL, though really
2:19
since his career started in twenty
2:21
eighteen with Tampa Bay. Had some injury problem
2:23
early on in two of his first three seasons, but
2:26
he has been healthy for the most part
2:28
in the past three seasons. Videvea,
2:31
who I have checking in at number
2:35
ten on my list, and as
2:37
you look at his Pro Football Reference page,
2:40
his actual first name is
2:42
like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
2:44
eight names long.
2:46
Look, I'm not lying to you. Oh
2:48
my god, you want to try reading that. Tavita,
2:51
tuli Akono, Tupoloto,
2:54
mosse Vaje, fajoco, falletoveya.
2:58
I don't think that was that bad. I will
3:00
never do it again. It's potentially
3:03
a very dangerous ground to be.
3:05
I don't want to ever mispronounce anybody's names,
3:07
especially someone who works so hard to establish
3:09
ours is one of the best in the NFL.
3:11
You're number ten, I mean, yeah, okay,
3:14
my number ten is right on Pain,
3:20
Sweat. Yeah, it's awesome. Young
3:25
supposed to be one of the best in all of football.
3:28
And those three individually
3:31
still might be some of the better ones
3:33
in all football. But they
3:36
don't do it on three different teams now. Pain
3:39
the only one still in Washington, correct, the only one
3:41
that still remains Pain? And Sweat corn Sweat's
3:44
a bear, then Pain, remember
3:47
sweat led the Bears and the.
3:49
Kind in my hand? Because I got another one coming
3:52
up.
3:52
To How could you forget about
3:54
Sweat's amazing feet though of leading
3:56
two franchises.
3:57
And right we talked about him in the edge
3:59
rusher. You're right, I know you
4:01
know. Okay, okay, all
4:04
right, number nine, number nine for you or
4:06
in the division. Oh, this is where I have
4:08
DJ Reader from the Cincinnati Bank.
4:10
Okay, if they take
4:12
Byron Murphy the second in the mock draft
4:14
and in knee draft, like we've seen from a couple
4:16
of mock drafts so far, that's a pretty
4:19
damn good pairing.
4:20
As far as two defensive tackles go.
4:21
DJ Reader had a really good year last year,
4:24
grated highly in Pro Football Focus. Whether
4:27
you take that with a grain of salt or not, I don't
4:29
blame you, but you can't deny
4:31
that he was definitely an effective player for the
4:33
Bengals. Played in fourteen
4:36
games for them. He only had one sack, but he was great
4:38
at run stuffing. I
4:41
think if if they can get someone like a Murphy
4:43
to come in and be better than Reader and
4:46
make a Reader kind of that number two guy, I
4:49
think the Bengals are gonna have a very scary defensive
4:51
front next year. And I think that the writings
4:53
on the wall that they're going to get this Brian Murphy at
4:55
pick number eight.
4:56
Crazy if they did what. I don't think it's that crazy.
4:59
No, I'm saying it would be crazy to see their line
5:01
right, But it's not crazy to think that he won't be
5:03
there at.
5:04
Any No, no, no, it'd be crazy as if you're
5:06
lining up against the Bengals and their
5:08
defense was so bad for so long and now
5:10
they actually have a legitimate unit back
5:12
there.
5:13
They have done a very good job in Cincinnati of making
5:15
the defense respectable along with the
5:17
Joe Burrow ascension of the offense.
5:19
Like the defense has never lagged that far behind.
5:22
I would say last year the secondary because
5:24
they lost they
5:27
lost their two cornerbacks and safety
5:30
sorry Von Bell and Jesse Bates. They brought
5:32
back Von Bell had to be back von Bell.
5:34
Dax Hill hasn't been doing now as good as
5:36
they'd hope by now, but I think bringing
5:38
back Von Bell is gonna add some stability.
5:39
Yeah, all right, my number nine
5:42
was your number ten? Is right? V Debay?
5:45
Do you want to say his name? Isn't
5:47
my turn to try it? Okay? Just
5:52
consistent, certainly not what
5:55
he once was about six
5:57
years ago, especially five years ago when he
6:00
won the Super Bowl with the Buccaneers. That
6:03
might be one of the more underrated defenses
6:06
in recent memory, simply because Tom
6:08
Brady was the quarterback.
6:09
Well, it certainly was the
6:12
main reason why they beat the
6:14
Patriot or the Chiefs. The Chiefs in the
6:16
Super Bowl. Now,
6:19
if you want to argue that the weakest or
6:22
the weakness of the Chiefs offensive line had
6:24
more to do with it, I'll hear that
6:26
argument.
6:26
But it was by
6:29
v devean company.
6:30
Was I mean, Domakong Sue was out there, Yeah,
6:33
he was. Just it was a great defensive line
6:35
and great defense for sure. All
6:37
right, Number eight for me, yep, this
6:40
is where I have Christian Barmore checking in from the New England.
6:43
You're a Christian.
6:44
Barmore hater, I'm not hat. But he's only
6:46
gonna be twenty five years old, Jacob. Last
6:48
year he played in every game, he only started six
6:50
of them. He had eight and a half sacks from that interior
6:53
position. Alabama. Boy, you
6:55
know he's got that pedigree. I expect
6:58
him to take an even bigger step for this
7:00
year, a bit of a breakout yere for Barmore
7:02
last year. I think he'll be even
7:04
better in the middle of that New England
7:07
defense. So I got Christian Barmore checking
7:09
in at number eight, a good young defensive tackle
7:11
on the rise.
7:12
All Right, number eight is the
7:14
Washington Commanders team in of Deron Payin,
7:16
who we forgot stayed
7:18
in Washington with him because he's the only one
7:21
with a normal name gopen Jonathan Allen
7:23
number eighth, he's the only
7:25
one without that intimidating name factor
7:28
Payne sweat young for
7:30
an old man. Jonathan Allen alongside
7:33
Deron Payne, still kicking
7:35
it in Washington on that defensive line.
7:38
Just consistent, I mean, not like showing
7:41
up with the flashiest numbers, but still
7:43
holding down that defensive line in Washington, doing
7:45
a great job of it.
7:47
Yeah, and a guy who started as a defensive end
7:49
in his career and has moved into the interior
7:53
three years at the end.
7:54
Look, you want to talk about consistent yet tackle
7:57
hasn't missed more than one game since
7:59
back in twenty nineteen. He missed two games
8:01
that year or I'm sorry healing Nope,
8:03
sorry, hasn't missed more than one game since
8:06
his rookie year. So how about
8:08
that?
8:09
Yeah, he had a lot of injury problems his rookie year and was
8:12
able to shed ever since that kind of injury
8:15
bug notion ever since in the next six
8:17
years following, never missed more than one game. And
8:20
you gotta love that if you're a defensive lineman.
8:22
No question about it. Number seven for
8:24
me is where I have DeForest Buckner. Oh
8:27
Tom, Number seven for me.
8:30
Forest, but the
8:32
Forest Buckner of the Indianapolis Colts,
8:35
previously of the San Francisco forty
8:37
nine ers made a All Pro two team
8:39
in San Francisco. Then his first year in indian twenty
8:41
twenty, he made the first team All Pro.
8:43
Uh.
8:44
This is a guy that has played in every single game in the
8:46
past three seasons. You want
8:48
to talk about longevity at a tough position,
8:50
and here's something that you don't see every day. He
8:52
scored a touchdown last year as a defensive
8:54
tach. That's a rarity in the NFL, is a DT
8:57
getting into the end zone.
8:58
So four, Horst Buckner. You
9:01
want to talk about You want to talk about consistency.
9:03
Here's the sack totals going backwards twenty twenty
9:05
three in reverse eight eight, seven,
9:07
nine and a half, seven and a half twelve. Yeah,
9:10
that's the model of consistency. Getting a ton of
9:12
pressure from the interior of
9:14
a defensive line. We witnessed
9:17
this last year when the Steelers went to Indy.
9:19
Colts had one of the most underrated defensive lines
9:21
in football, and the Forest Bucket really
9:24
at the heart.
9:24
Of They cannot run the ball, they cannot
9:27
escape the pressure the Steelers. I'm saying
9:29
against that Indianapolis d line. The
9:32
Colts were.
9:33
Really underrated in that aspect last year and it's
9:35
going to be just as good this year. Colts
9:38
get this quarterback situation cool.
9:40
I mean, they could have been a playoff team
9:42
last year they were in they were a guy they were Texas.
9:45
Yeah, if they can
9:47
have Anthony Richardson and stay healthy and be good, Colts
9:50
are good enough to be a playoff team
9:52
or at least in a crowded AFC, be
9:54
another potential contender that you have
9:56
to vie with if you're a team like the Steelers for one of
9:58
those three wild cards.
9:59
But I know, the two games last year in the last week
10:01
of the season were Jacks Titans and Colts
10:04
versus Texans. The Jacks lost the Titans.
10:06
If the Colts to be in the Texans with the Texans, or
10:08
would both the Texans and Colts make the
10:10
division or just the Colts win as
10:13
the division winner.
10:15
I'm foggy on the situation, but they would have made the.
10:17
Playoffs for sure. It was a dude with winning your in. I
10:19
know that whether the Texans could have snuck
10:22
in there, and they did that all without Anthony Richardson,
10:25
right, So if he can, if he
10:27
works out, be good.
10:28
Yeah, then I think they're another Again,
10:31
it's bad news if you're the Steelers because that's a team that you got
10:33
to deal with.
10:34
They lost you play too to
10:36
the Raiders.
10:38
Yeah, but they upgraded the backup quarterback because they brought
10:40
in uh uh Joe Flacca?
10:43
Is Flacco? Is that an
10:45
upgrade? It's a huge upgrade. All right? You're number seven
10:47
was also the You're number
10:50
six. Number six for.
10:51
Me, this is where I have Kobe Turner
10:53
from the Los Ingas. Kobe
10:58
Turner was a rookie last year. He
11:01
had nine sacks from
11:03
the interior of this Rams defense.
11:06
Do you think that he made or life
11:09
after Aaron Donald a little bit easier to stomach
11:11
if you're a Rams fan, if you're the Rams front office,
11:13
that you had this rookie Kobe Turner come in and
11:15
have so much success in his rookie season,
11:18
you think that Obviously, it
11:20
doesn't help eliminate the
11:23
pain entirely of losing a Hall of Fame Mount
11:25
Rushmore level defensive player, but
11:29
there's someone there in LA that is a clear
11:32
replacement for him, and nine
11:34
sacks as a rookie from that spot is damn impressive
11:36
from Kobe Turner.
11:38
And like you said, I don't think anyone was
11:40
really looking at the LA Rams defense
11:42
inside of the football as something
11:45
that was gonna be as
11:48
quickly turned around from their Super Bowl
11:50
win as Turner has
11:52
done so far in a very young career. So
11:55
I don't know. I mean, to lose Aaron Donald is
11:58
no easy thing, but this is certainly
12:00
making it slightly easier
12:03
on the transition. I would say, all
12:06
right, you're number six. All right, my number six.
12:09
This is where I have let me see,
12:11
this is where I Quentin Williams a
12:14
little low for you. I
12:18
think the people I have in my top
12:20
six that did
12:22
that come out you
12:25
just pretending to be a Boston
12:27
cop. I
12:29
think Quinn Williams is great talent and
12:33
playing with the Jets hasn't had the easiest
12:35
go of it, but certainly
12:38
people in New York seem to wow,
12:42
seem to think that things
12:44
are going to turn around with them, hopefully with Aaron
12:46
Rodgers around with them. I mean, it's in all Pro last year,
12:51
right, But let's say this too, with the addition of the son
12:53
Reddick that defensive front, maybe life
12:55
gets a little bit easier for Williams. Maybe you see some
12:57
numbers take up for him because people have
12:59
to start paying attition to Hassan Reddit coming out from
13:01
the edge.
13:03
My number five guy was a
13:05
division rival of Quinn Williams for
13:07
most of his career, but not
13:09
anymore. This is where I have Christian
13:12
Wilkins Miami Dolphins
13:15
newly Las Vegas.
13:17
Right, La Vegas
13:20
Raider. Five years in Miami
13:23
for Christian Wilkins, and he played
13:25
in all.
13:25
But three football games in his
13:28
career so far. That's great durability
13:32
for somebody at that position. He had
13:34
last year, I think his best year in the NFL
13:37
too. He had a forced fumble, he had nine sacks, he had ten
13:39
tackles for the loss, he had twenty three quarterback
13:41
hits, and he played in all seventeen
13:43
games. I don't know why the Dolphins
13:45
moved on from him after a year like that.
13:48
Maybe you have money that needs
13:50
to be spent elsewhere. Maybe you think you can replace
13:53
your defensive tackle with a younger, cheaper player.
13:56
But it looks to me like Wilkins just had a
13:58
year that would tell you he's during his prime,
14:01
that would tell you that these next three years, including
14:03
that last one, are going to be maybe the best of his
14:06
career. Your defense
14:08
ain't exactly all
14:11
world status. I am
14:13
I am shocked that the Dolphins shocked
14:15
shocked that they didn't bring Christian.
14:17
Well, especially because you look at the
14:20
state of that team right and they've
14:24
got it down on offense. You gotta keep
14:26
that defense. Like how you said
14:30
when we were talking about I believe
14:33
was it. I forget which scene we were talking about,
14:35
but saying, how oh oh, we were talking
14:37
about Cincinnati, how the Bengals
14:39
have done a really good job of keeping
14:42
that defense prepared
14:44
to compete while you're in the
14:46
peak of Joe Burrow's young career.
14:49
The Dolphins should be doing the exact same thing for twoo
14:51
techa Iloa. Credit to them. They went out
14:53
and they signed h
14:57
Jalen Ramsey to bolster up their secondary,
15:00
but letting Wilkins go, I think is a huge
15:02
mistake. I
15:05
agree.
15:05
It's how well he keep last year.
15:08
I mean, I think he's the whole career. He's the top five
15:10
tackle in the game. You're number
15:13
five, my number five. This is where I Dexter
15:15
Lawrence.
15:17
Number five. Interesting. Okay,
15:19
well, you can't say it's too low if
15:21
we're now the five. It's fine,
15:23
it's fine, Lawrence. No, it's fine.
15:25
Dexter Lawrence in the top five is plenty, plenty
15:28
reasonable, especially because.
15:30
I have him higher. Okay, you
15:32
want to say, where do
15:36
you have anything to say about him? I mean no, we could talk about it when
15:38
you guys to him, because you're gonna be so happy
15:40
to talk about him in his higher position that's not
15:43
so much higher than.
15:45
My number four is where
15:47
I have Dexter. Now I'm just kidding. This is
15:50
where I have Justin Matabouquet from
15:52
the multi Ravens second team All
15:54
Pro last year was Mattabouque.
15:56
I think a huge reason why that Ravens
15:59
defense.
15:59
Was a lot better then.
16:00
I think maybe some people thought that they were gonna
16:03
be also got Defensive Player of the Year
16:05
votes. Did Matta Bouquet finish the ninth place? So
16:08
great year career year for Matta Buquet.
16:10
He's only going to be twenty seven years old, really
16:13
coming into his peak. Thirteen
16:16
sacks from that interior spot last year man
16:19
thirty three quarterback hits, and
16:21
a big contract signed in the offseason to stay
16:23
in Baltimore.
16:24
Tom, I hate to do this to you. I
16:26
think you forgot someone who moving
16:30
up My number four guy of
16:32
Javon Hargrave really
16:35
have that great of a year. I really think he did. Let's
16:38
see if you're right. I
16:40
don't think you are.
16:41
Plus, he was a little bit overshadowed in that San Francisco
16:44
defense, but not as impactful as
16:46
he was in Philadelphia.
16:47
For sure. Hit seven sacks,
16:50
not bad.
16:50
Played in sixteen games, he had eight
16:52
tackles for loss, He had fourteen quarterback hits.
16:55
He had a Pro Bowl caliber year. I don't
16:57
know if he should be top five on your list
16:59
though, number four. Maybe I
17:01
think you're being at you didn't put him in your GDQMDC.
17:04
That's I think not I
17:06
don't. I don't know. I think
17:09
all these players were better than him. Maybe Benton
17:11
is the only one that I was at so a little bit of homorism,
17:14
don't you think.
17:14
But I think you know, everybody would
17:16
tell me that the guys I've listed were pretty
17:19
much better than Javon Hargrave.
17:22
I think there's some pushback. Woh, so
17:25
you don't give me at four. I put a hard grave
17:27
at four.
17:28
All right. Number three for you is where
17:30
I have Quinn Williams checking in.
17:31
All right, that's fair. Quentin Williams. Jet's
17:35
so ridiculous of me to put him at
17:37
six.
17:37
It will especially thinking
17:40
that he's worse than Javen Hargrave, was a little bit ridiculous.
17:44
Quentin Williams did have a dip last year, though,
17:46
so that is something that I guess you have to look at Hargrave
17:49
didn't. I mean, Hargrave did two on
17:52
a better defense.
17:53
Okay, maybe
17:57
Quentin Williams will have that bounce back here because
17:59
of the support that is in place that you mentioned in
18:02
that New York defense where he's not the only guy,
18:04
where there is a Hassan Raddick now that can.
18:06
Help get after the quarterback.
18:09
It's amazing to me that he's only going to be twenty seven years
18:12
old, yet this is his sixty year in the NFL.
18:14
Quinn Williams, he.
18:16
Has been an impactful
18:18
player since day one, drafted
18:20
out of imagine that Alabama.
18:23
They seem to be growing these defensive tackles on trees
18:25
down there.
18:26
All right, number three, number three for me,
18:29
I believe it was your number four. Number
18:32
five, Madibukekeue was
18:35
your four. Yeah, okay, I mean yeah,
18:37
like you said, career year and
18:40
hate to see him think in Baltimore. Really
18:42
don't don't like that.
18:44
Yeah. I thought there was a chance he might get away. I
18:46
thought there was a chance that he's going to go to Seattle,
18:49
might go somewhere else. But it wasn't
18:51
meant to be Matabuque. And I think it was smarter
18:53
the Ravens to prioritize signing like you
18:56
lose Queen, Yeah, but you got, but you
18:58
gotta Buque. I think Game was the better
19:00
player to keep. I love Queen, and I think Queen.
19:02
Because you also kept you kept Broquan Smith
19:06
the year before.
19:07
Queen is an amazing upgrade for the
19:09
Steelers, a big time fit
19:11
for the Steelers. But with given the choice,
19:14
Matteabuke or Queen, if you're the Ravens, especially
19:16
with the Smith situation, yeah, it was a no brainer
19:18
on which one you had to prioritize.
19:19
Well, it's crazy how good the Ravens defense
19:22
is on all levels because they have Kyle Hamilton
19:24
in the secondary with Marlon Humphrey and those guys.
19:27
Uh, keep an eye on Marlon Humphrey
19:29
and those Marlon Humphrey is getting old.
19:31
So it was Marcus Williams, the safety. They brought him
19:33
from the role they need.
19:35
To get some some youth injection in well, but
19:38
I mean the set as far as
19:40
the corner position is concerned, some.
19:43
Youthful exuberance
19:45
might go a long way in that field.
19:48
So number two for me is where I have Dexter Lawrence,
19:50
the guy that you agregiously put a number five yep
19:53
okay second team All Pro for the second straight
19:56
year now, was the New York Giants defensive
19:58
tackle. The sacks
20:00
aren't really what you get out of Dexter Lawrence. I think
20:02
he's more of that run stuffer. He
20:05
did have twenty one quarterback hits last year as well thirty
20:07
two solo tackles fifty three
20:09
combined tackles. He got Defensive
20:12
Player of the Year votes, finished in ninth
20:14
place. That's impressive
20:17
as somebody who was
20:19
on such a bad team in the New York Giants. So
20:22
Dexter Lawrence still a big,
20:25
big key to the New York Giants
20:27
roster, to the New York Giants having success into
20:30
that Giant defense. So I got him checking
20:32
in as the number two defensive tackle in football.
20:34
All right, number two for me. This is
20:37
why I have Christian Wilkins. I
20:39
just think this guy's a monster. And I think
20:42
by putting me too, I'm trying to emphasize
20:44
how big of a mistake it was by the
20:46
Dolphins to let him go
20:49
and not keep him. And now you get
20:51
a pair Wilkins with
20:54
Max Crosby in Vegas,
20:57
and boyo, boy is that going to be
20:59
a scared pass rush?
21:02
And if you're Crosby,
21:05
it's finally somebody that can take some attention
21:07
away from him.
21:07
Well, the
21:10
guy they brought in another defensive
21:12
lineman or outside linebacker to help
21:14
him edge rusher. Yeah, he went
21:16
crazy.
21:17
It was God,
21:19
he's so famous and popular. He
21:21
went off the deep end like he had to go to was
21:24
is Chandler Jones?
21:25
Chandler Jones, Right, He just went nuts.
21:27
Like they He was still great when he came from
21:29
Arizona to Vegas, but like he went
21:31
completely cuckoo, so that
21:33
backfired on the big time.
21:35
But Wilkins is going.
21:36
To be it.
21:36
But he was at the time a really, really good player.
21:38
But Wilkins is going to be an absolute asset for
21:42
that Raiders team. And then number one for
21:44
both of us, it is Aaron Donald.
21:47
But he retired, so we can't wait. Would
21:49
you have put Aaron Donald one? He did retire,
21:51
and it's like twenty twenty three going into twenty twenty
21:53
four.
21:54
No lower than two. He's still still
21:56
in the second best Wow. Okay, I might
21:59
have put him at number one. Still wow,
22:01
But number one is now Chris Jones, undisputedly
22:05
the three times Super
22:08
Bowl champion, has been a first
22:10
team All Pro now back to back seasons. He
22:13
is a second team All Pro in three
22:15
other seasons. He was third place in Defensive
22:18
Player of the Year last year. He didn't get depot votes this year,
22:20
but he still had a heck of a season. By
22:25
the way, Yeah, I mean he was first. I
22:27
mean, he was first team All Pro. How's he not get at least
22:29
a couple of those right guys.
22:30
Like the guy deserved. I mean, especially if
22:33
you look. Everyone knows now
22:36
the Chiefs and how they operate and
22:38
they don't win the Super Bowl this year without
22:41
Chris Jones.
22:42
No, and a lot of what Chris Jones, you know what,
22:45
A lot of what defensive tackles do in general
22:47
don't show up on the stat sheet. The pressures,
22:49
the furries, the the fear
22:51
factor that they install, the disruption of
22:53
the quarterbacks rhythm by blowing up the
22:55
center and just coming up right. You can't step up in the pocket
22:58
now because there is nowhere to step up. Chris
23:00
Jones only had a half a sack in
23:02
the playoffs this year, but I remember
23:05
three plays where he directly affected
23:08
an incomplete pass a turnover.
23:10
Both in the Super Bowl and the and the AC Championship
23:12
against the Ravens.
23:13
Rob Party had a Deebo Samuel touchdown
23:16
on a silver platter in the Super Bowl, completely
23:18
disrupted by Chris Jones just ripping
23:20
through the offensive line like tissue paper and
23:23
forcing Party to.
23:24
Throw the ball. He overthrew. Same with I
23:26
think they were in the red zone and he
23:28
maybe missed Mark Andrews onto play was the
23:31
target because.
23:32
That was.
23:34
Yeah.
23:35
So a lot of those guys get their impact
23:37
on things that doesn't necessarily translate to on
23:40
paper looking at him on throw a football reference
23:42
and understanding.
23:43
How great he really was.
23:44
All right, that'll do it for defensive
23:46
tackles. Next week, I'm
23:48
feeling inside linebacker, so
23:51
maybe Pittsburgh Steeler will end up on that list
23:53
too. In fact, I'm pretty sure he will, and
23:56
that'll be like the first time in a long time
23:58
Pittsburgh Steeler in the top ten at
24:00
the end?
24:02
Stands?
24:03
Is it?
24:04
Homersm when the dude was a second team All program
24:07
I just wonder how our rankings would differ
24:10
if he stayed in Baltimore versus
24:13
coming to Pittsburgh.
24:14
Right, and then a Landon Roberts as well when we
24:16
have him in the time now that might be homer
24:18
As Let's throw them all
24:20
in there.
24:22
We'll be back next week. We'll keep content.
24:25
We'll continue our.
24:27
All time Steelers Draft rounds
24:30
with round number three on Tuesday, and
24:32
then later in the week get into that interior linebacker
24:34
power ranking. That and lots more
24:36
draft talk on the way next week. He's Jacob
24:38
wreck Down, Tom Offerman. This has been the Steeler
24:41
standard
