00:00You know, it's kind of funny one of these guys maybe like Vrabel where early in his career was a little bit of a grinder

00:04And then found kind of the right spot and went from a guy that barely played maybe some special team stuff

00:09I would assume into becoming a

00:10like a leading tackler for the team in the last couple years, so

00:14Vrabel obviously still must like him from his time there that they had back in 2018, but

00:20It's not a position of need that gets brought up a lot

00:23But I think it is one they get carved up on the run last year

00:27I know Juwan Bentley was hurt so he was not a part of most of it

00:29but Johnny Tavai became sort of public enemy number one by the end of the year because he's calling out fans and telling him

00:34Not to boo and everything else and like know their role

01:03So he feels like a pivot off of that, but okay. They're adding to their front seven. That is a need

01:08It's not shiny and sexy, but oh no no no those aren't you know offense those aren't needs for this team

01:14And that that doesn't make them bad signings right Spillane and Landry could be good signings

01:18But they are not headliners is how I would put that but maybe they help the defense and they help the the middle of the

01:22Roster, I'm not gonna deny that no, but hopefully this is like and I'm not saying that it will be but hopefully this is like

01:28Chapman and Buehler before you get crochet and Bregman good point because if you just take the order out if it is we'll give

01:34him credit yeah, but right now I

01:36Don't feel great about that. I'm just saying there's a chance
