Great show- thanks for the great content as always Matt!

[@benjamincohen8820]

Thanks Matt!! Your response to my question evaluating Arthur smith’s qb’s raises an interesting discussion about what he was able to do with tannehill vs how Matt ryan and ridder played in ATL

[@jsmitt3700]

Matt, I absolutely love the idea of using a 4-3 with this teams personell.

[@SquatchWatcher]

Great show Matt. Have a happy July 4th! Everyone enjoy the holiday weekend!

[@jerryyeager1307]

Thank you Matt, Mike Tomlins defense and Arthur Smiths offense feels like a better season coming. I can't wait to see how it all plays out. Have a great Fourth Matt Great show

[@yourneighbor6957]

Love what your saying about the formation I feel like that protects the depth of the Dline I could see larry O and Cam starting with Bennett and Adam's behind them , Alex, TJ, Nick on the edge sounds nasty that front seven all together 😳

[@demondbrown206]

Enjoy your holiday!

[@jasonbodine6033]

4:53 “Flip Wilson”? Loved that guy. So funny!

[@derrickbowman4746]

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇲

[@Cardel34]

What’s your opinion on Eric Rowe? I don’t know if he signed elsewhere but if not do you see them bringing him back? Do we even need him now? I thought he played great for us

[@Dang026]

Probably the same exact situation as Robert Golden. Older player on the decline who had a single great season for us in a backup/reserve role. Maybe they're asking for too much money and keeping their options open but if somebody goes down in camp on any team across the league they could quickly be called up and their value goes up as a 1 year rental.

[@paulsenzig9097]

Have a great holiday!!!!

[@Runescape_God]

I would like to always have one edge guy who’s built closer to a 4-3 defensive end than a 3-4 outside linebacker, for physicality and run-stopping purposes.. which golden fits and did well last year. Not saying the other guys don’t do that, but one guy of the former stature is good to have IMO.

[@jmarz6686]

shit matt!!! if i knew you was going to brentwood i would be there asap just too meet you 🤣 happy 4th

[@crowe1974]

Have a safe and great 4th of July Matt

[@carlspackler1431]

Matt, the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none" has been mistold for eons. The FULL saying is "Jsck of all trades, master of none. But still better than master of one" That 2nd part changes the meaning and reason behind why most use it. Many think it says, If you focus on too much and do too much, you will never be the best at one thing, however the full saying actually says those who branch out and try new things and can do multiple things is better than someone who masters just one thing. Cheers!

[@steelermike5219]

They haven’t signed golden because they want to give herbig more snaps. I would definitely welcome him back though

[@dennygc5874]

I would love to see a sub package with Benton or Cam on the nose, with Highsmith and Watt on the line wide, with all four off ball backers. Even as a version of Dick LeBeaus 1 down lineman sets. The defense has as much versatility potential as the offense. But will that potential be realized? ❤️🔥🍻

[@tyronewaters7117]

Sadly, we are still judging our offensive players based on last years OC and QB play. Heyward is an absolute weapon. I was disappointed they gave him 83. Should have been a 40 number, to utilize all his talents. Should have used him like Chris Cooly, while letting him run the ball sometimes.

[@steelking22]

Happy 4th, Matt. Day 1 after this season is over, the Steelers will have to address Mike Tomlin's continual failure at evaluating QBs.

[@kentsturgill5945]

Evaluating?? C'mon you have to factor in availability when questioning the acquisition of certain highly sought after positions. None more sought after than the QB. Everyone knows Mahomes is the guy right now , go get him. Jesus folks when you're picking no closer than 20 to the top spot most years those guys are gone . So are top CB's , edge guys on and on. IMO they've found a lot of great talent annually based on where the pick year in, year out. You want them to spend a hundred mil on Cousins ??? And miss me with the Mason talk over 90 percent of Steeler nation wanted nothing to do with him until the way he finished last season , the proof is out there, I read it daily lmao people kill me with this.

[@jonathanwillcourt2211]

Why carry 5 ILB and 3 OLB? Drop Robinson and add Golden or Perales.

[@Dang026]

He already said. New special teams rules make players who can cover kickoffs more valuable. Perales I could agree with but if you already have Nick Herbig and Robert Golden isnt a ST guy theres no reason to get him unless you have a significant injury at OLB.

[@jonathanwillcourt2211]

@@Dang026Yes, I figured we would probably carry 1-2 fewer WR/DB types and 1-2 more LB/TE due to the rules change. But that’s my point, why are we talking about carrying 3 OLB and flexing in an ILB. Heck, you could carry 5 ILB and 4 OLB if they contributed on ST.

[@daveshipley2774]

Whatever Smith's QB evaluation is has zero relevance
