00:00And I think Martavis Bryant yesterday was probably like fourth in line in the drills

00:06with the guys that are clearly outside guys. You know, he's got an opportunity. The fact that the

00:12rules have changed on practice squads have really kind of changed the scenario for Bryant.

00:20And for everybody that's like, oh man, but if you put them on the practice squad, you might lose

00:24them. They were, they signed him on August 17th. Like he was available to the whole world.

00:30He does present something though, that's completely different in that he's got

00:34size, speed, athleticism. They don't have anybody, all their receivers are like my size basically.

00:40And then there's Bryson Tremaine who catches everything thrown his way and has had a really

00:45good camp, but not an explosive athlete. And then there's Martavis Bryant who is an explosive

00:50athlete, but hasn't played in the NFL in six years. I don't know how it's all going to shake

00:54out. It's going to be very interesting to watch. I wouldn't be overly excited about Martavis

01:02Bryant, but like if he makes a play tomorrow night, like when you get to next Tuesday,

01:07when they have to do roster cuts, there is one less dude that's going to be on the roster

01:12in Jihad Dotson. Right? Like if they're going to keep six wideouts,

01:17everybody got bumped up one spot because Dotson is gone. And I find that pretty interesting.

01:24You know, Fisher and I talked about this yesterday, like who is the Dotson news

01:28best for who is the Dotson trade best for. And you could honestly make an argument that it's

01:34best for a guy like Bryson Tremaine or even Martavis Bryant. Maybe it's best for a guy like

01:39Kaz Allen, who despite a fumble and I think a really misplayed punt return,

01:49they seem to like, and maybe he gets on the roster because he's an intriguing

01:54piece that they don't really have that kind of shiftiness elsewhere.

01:58Eckler, I think gives you that, but you're not going to use Eckler in some of those roles.

02:05I don't know. It's going to be fascinating to watch what happens with Bryant. If anything,

02:09I don't know how it will all shake out. But I mean, he was so damn good with the

02:16Steelers back in the day, but it was 10 years ago.
