| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. I'm Matt Williamson. How's it going? Things are great here. Happy holidays. It is Christmas Eve. I'm recording this. I'm doing it kind of early in the day because I got family stuff going on, as you can imagine. |
| 0:23.6 | Tomorrow I will not record one on Christmas, |
| 0:25.7 | but I'll get you back on Friday, |
| 0:27.9 | as early as I possibly can, |
| 0:30.1 | to preview Steelers Browns. |
| 0:35.6 | Skip, I wanted to do a mailbag, |
| 0:36.6 | holiday mailbag. |
| 0:41.4 | There's a couple questions about Caleb Johnson, but I picked this one from Skip Bittman, |
| 0:42.2 | first of all. |
| 0:46.7 | Caleb Johnson might turn out to be a good running back, but wasn't that a wasted pick. |
| 0:51.2 | Sure could have used help at wide receiver or DB in 2025. |
| 0:54.3 | It sure looks like it. |

| 1:19.4 | to be either. I mean, the plan was big young back, the semi-be-the-naugy, Warren stays Warren, and maybe gets a 20% bump in overall usage, |
| 1:34.3 | mixing Gainwell as the third guy, returner, etc. Obviously, Gainwell's far exceeded that. |
| 1:40.9 | Johnson's far left to be desired that. I know that's not a word. So there's |
| 1:46.6 | definitely hindsight there. And remember, they had used, they didn't draft, their second round |
| 1:54.5 | pick on a receiver, but I think what you're saying makes sense. I mean, if you could swap out Caleb Johnson for one of the receivers that was still on the board, that would make you better team. |
| 2:08.8 | Yes. |
