Well, hello, everyone. I am Matt Williamson. How is it going? Things are good.

0:11.6

A little bit of news, and this is not shocking. This has been linked to the Steelers for some time, but now it is official, that they have signed Dean Lowry to a one-year

0:23.8

contract. I was just looking for the compensation, the details, haven't been able to find it. I assume

0:32.7

it's a couple million bucks or league minimum or slightly above, maybe a little bit of guaranteed money.

0:38.0

But I bet his contract doesn't imply that he's guaranteed a roster spot.

0:44.0

That being said, I think that it's a good pickup.

0:47.8

Last we saw him, and there were some injuries, obviously.

0:51.3

He is what I call an inning eater amongst defensive tackles. He's that pitcher that

I think the D-Lines in a lot better shape now, and we're going to get into this,

1:40.9

where Lowry, I don't think, will ever really be your fourth guy, assuming health.

1:45.3

You know, he's their fifth or sixth guy. And I would take Lowry probably over a warmly,

1:50.1

or certainly over Loudermilk and guys of that nature. So I definitely understand this. And I think

1:58.0

that it's becoming very obvious. And I think you guys should notice this too,

2:03.1

that since Omar Khan has taken over, they will almost always side on the one more big guy,

2:11.6

you know, on both sides of the ball, the 300-pounders, the detackles on defense and the
