ESPN put out a trade deadline preview. It had Josh Downs, predictably, connected to the Steelers. To some surprise, the folks at ESPN think there is at least a small chance teams call about Mason Rudolph. What price would be too rich to say No? We think anything in the first 2 days of the Draft would be an easy Yes, but Poni has doubts the team and the fans would be willing.
ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – We joked that Aditi has the ‘Mullsy Bowl’ on Sunday with the Chargers meeting the Texans. Will the Chargers waive the white flag if they lose again this season? Aditi said it’s sensible that the Steelers may be playing second fiddle behind the Chiefs when it comes to acquiring a WR, but she is getting the feeling that the Jaguars won’t be moving Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of the deadline. Why did the Steelers have character issues with receivers while Mike Tomlin was the head coach? Aditi reacted to Ryan Clark saying Mike McCarthy is doing a better job than Tomlin right now. She ultimately agreed with the former player. Aditi questioned if Lamar Jackson is actually done this year or with the Ravens overall. What does Jacoby Brissett bring to the table for Baltimore? Aditi said the Steelers would have to strongly consider moving Mason Rudolph if another team offered a 4th round pick. Aditi didn’t like Jared Verse talking so much before the game against the Steelers and it aged like milk when Verse, yet again, came up empty. Aditi couldn’t speak on the relationship between DK Metcalf and Aaron Rodgers, but recalled not loving the contract when it happened.
Donny Football Debrief – Is Russell Wilson about to become a head coach? He is interviewing to be the next head coach at NC State on Tuesday. Is Phillip Rivers a better option? We also looked the initial CFB Playoff rankings.
