1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Driveller with Matt Williamson. It's a Wednesday

4
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: here already, he's already getting away from it. Yeah, it's

5
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: already like running right up on us here. Uh. Steelers

6
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: had their first practice today. I'm not going to get

7
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: into the practice report all that much today because I

8
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: can tell you that it wasn't a real It's well,

9
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: two days after the game they practiced, but it wasn't

10
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: a practice practice that makes perfect sense. I mean, they

11
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: played very recently. As somebody, uh, as somebody said to me,

12
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: it's difficult to tell who the LPs and the f

13
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: FPS are going to be today. The LPs would be

14
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: limited because everybody looked like they were kind of, you know,

15
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: not doing a whole Heck, they were. They were practicing.

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: They were going through you know, the install and things

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: like that, but they were doing it and walk through speed. Roughly,

18
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: what time does the bus get back to the facility.

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: They were scheduled to land back in Pittsburgh at three

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: am Tuesday morning. That's when you land. That's then you

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: get to bed. Probably by that time, it's go back

22
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: to the facility, get in your car and go to

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: your house. So yeah, you know at the Brabe a

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: little earlier. Yeah, yeah, so it's kind of a wasted day.

25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: People forget these things, you know, right, I mean, you

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: didn't have any sleep yesterday when we were sitting here.

27
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: And it's same for the whole staff and you know, everybody.

28
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: So that's how it works. That's what Monday night games

29
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: on the road are all about. Um, you just have

30
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: to deal with that. If that's why. You know, a

31
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: couple of years ago they when when uh, you know,

32
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: we were talking with Bob Labriola and he was talking

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: about the Browns having to deal with you know, the

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: prime time games r new for them, and they were

35
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: getting coaching staff. If everything you've got is always one

36
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: o'clock or worst fourth, you know, he got fourth or

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: four thirties starts, you know, all of a sudden you

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: get three or four of those mixed in and you know,

39
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: one of them on the West Coast and things. I've

40
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: had some West Coast trips where you don't get back

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: until you know the Indie depicts for he's not too bad.

42
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: You leave right after the game, like an hour and

43
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: a half after the game, and that helps you don't

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: sit in traffic, but you're not getting back until five am. Six. Yeah,

45
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: and then the coaching staff, I mean, like tomlin get

46
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: gets in and he's got a press conference the next

47
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: late morning, you know, like one why wouldn't even go

48
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: home or even maybe gets an hour on a couch somewhere.

49
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you get to start getting ready for the

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: next game. You know, you get a breakdown the film

51
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: of what just transpired, and then you gotta start building

52
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: a game plan for how you're going to attack the

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: next one. So thus Lee, you don't practice like crazy today.

54
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: You know it makes perfect sense. But maybe a new

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: staff or Jeff Saturday doesn't know how to do that, right.

56
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: That's that's all you know. If you're a team that's

57
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: not a custom doing that, you don't have a there's

58
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: no manual on how to do those things. We have

59
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: five primetime games this year because we're good and people

60
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: want to watch out like the Browns the labs of

61
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: point where that shoes. I think you see some of

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: that with a team like the Chargers, for example, I

63
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: can see that you know where you got a young

64
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: you know, what's supposed to be a good young team,

65
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: but a young coach who's still never feeling his way

66
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: through this thing. How how hard should we practice? You know,

67
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: all the practice schedule stuff, and you know, the CEO

68
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: type wasn't even a coordinator very long you know, you know,

69
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: very short time in the league, so you don't didn't

70
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 1: have a lot to fall back on. Uh, it's also

71
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: tougher on the West coast. Did they travel more? Oh yeah,

72
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: without the question? Yeah, yeah, I mean if you're like

73
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll and Seattle, I mean Seattle's on the you know,

74
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: they're they have one of the longest road trips, for

75
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: longest road schedules every year, even when they were in

76
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: the NFC or a f C West. I mean, you

77
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: know you still had Denver was your closest game at

78
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: that point. Okay, yeah, I mean even the rest of

79
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: the West Kansas city is in the midd all the country.

80
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: It's not closed, right right, right, right, Okay, there you

81
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: have it. Yeah, there you have it. That stuff though

82
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: looking at some of the numbers here on this, uh,

83
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: differences in style contrasts and style between the Falcons and

84
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Absolutely, the Falcons are one of just what

85
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: are we looking at it. They're the only team in

86
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: the NFL to have four players we talked a little

87
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: bit about this yesterday with three hundred plus rushing yards AH,

88
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: and all all four of those guys, which is Algier, Patterson, Mariota,

89
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: and Huntley um are among the top twenty five and

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: average per carry. Yeah, they're all right around five ish,

91
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, which doesn't surprize you with Mariota, but

92
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: you know they run the ball efficiently a lot and

93
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: a lot um. They're only the second team in NFL

94
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: history with four players averaging thirty plus rushing yards per

95
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: game and four point five yards per carry since the

96
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: two thousand twelve that was Frank Gore callin Kaepernick, La,

97
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: Michael James, and Kendall Hunter. I wouldn't ever guessed that

98
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: that team won eleven four and one. This team is

99
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: not eleven four and one. They are not. I mean,

100
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: having a running quarterbacks the only way that equation even

101
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: works perfectly. Yeah, I mean, it's tough to get that

102
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: many guys to football. But the things that jumped out

103
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: to me as I was digging in on the on

104
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: these guys and looking at the if you start looking

105
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: at how the Steelers match up against this Atlanta Falcons team. Well,

106
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers are twenty now in total offense. They've actually

107
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: been climbing that, right, it's tough to dig out of

108
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: that hole. Uh. The Falcons are twenty eight in total defense. Oh,

109
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: I know, it's worries like this is a you can

110
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: look at this say, well, the Steelers are aren't really

111
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: explosive on offense. The Falcons are terrible on defense. They're

112
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: on defense and it's hard to even come up with

113
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: the names of the players. I mean, it really is.

114
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: My favorite stat actually goes back to last year. Is

115
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: t J watted more sacks than the Falcons last year. Yeah,

116
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: it's not much better. And it wasn't really close. I

117
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: think three or four. Yeah, I mean plenty wasn't like

118
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: he just edged them. I think they had seventeen, which

119
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: is yeah, I mean, and he had more money more

120
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: than that. Um. You look at their uh, they're their

121
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: rushed defense is one their past defense defense, um, third

122
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: down defense. And I think all their numbers are falling.

123
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: You know, as the Seers are gradually coming up, everything

124
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: about the Falcons is going down. And this is for

125
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: a team that runs the ball for a hundred sixty

126
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: yards a game. How bad would it be if they

127
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: couldn't run the ball if there's a lot of three

128
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: and ounce or yeah, if they were if they weren't

129
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: possessing the football, Uh, it would be really bad. Uh

130
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: you know red zone defense? Uh and big plays allowed

131
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: yards per play the seven and there's not hardly anything good.

132
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: There's not anything good. Turnovers the the middle of the pack. Okay, Yeah,

133
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: they're okay. And then you look at the other thing

134
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: offensively against the Steelers defense. There twenty seven in total offense,

135
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: so they're not much. They're one spot ahead of the

136
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: Steelers right now despite being a very good running team

137
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: from start to fending, because that's all they do. That's

138
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: all they do, because they do there. I hate to

139
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: say it this way, but they're like the most boring

140
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,679
Speaker 1: breakdown going. Yeah, because I mean one of the games,

141
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: you can watch the whole game and and most people

142
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't know the people getting the ball making the tackles,

143
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, like we were kind of joking

144
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: just talking off the air, like who's on the billboards.

145
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: They're not a lot of brand name guys. And you know,

146
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: two of Their biggest name guys are Pitts in London,

147
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: who they don't really use, and you know it's crazy. Yeah. Um,

148
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: you know then you start looking at okay, who, well

149
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: who they beat? Um? They did beat Seattle, which is

150
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: now looks like you know, at that time it looks

151
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: like a good win. Seattle's d was really really bad

152
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: back then too, and they ran all over them. They

153
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: beat Cleveland, also a bad run defense. They did beat

154
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco. I'm not sure how that went. That was

155
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: when San Francisco was Jimmy was just kind of starting

156
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: to get into the line. And if you remember that game,

157
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: that was when San Francisco's entire defensive line was out.

158
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: They were riddled with injury, like they're all four of

159
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: their starting defensive linemen were out. Remember that this is

160
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: not a team that you want that to happen. That

161
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: was a terrible matchup for San Francisco. Yeah. But since

162
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: that win over San Francisco and Week eight, UH lost

163
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: to the Chargers, lost to the Panthers, beat the Panthers,

164
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: and then lost to the I's say, their last six games,

165
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: they have four losses. There two wins or against the

166
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: Panthers and the Bears, maybe San Francisco. Okay, I was

167
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: thinking there was two bad teams or their most recent wins. Yeah,

168
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: had some rough losses. Early in that game, Denver lost

169
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: to the Bears in the opener um. They're better than

170
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: their record indicates, but they've had some bad days, were

171
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: bad matchups. So I mean, if you start looking at

172
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: this game, it's like, boy, everything at the Falcons, Like

173
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers are good stopping the run. They really are. Yeah,

174
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's like you're not going to You're not

175
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: going to go out there and just run the ball

176
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: consistently against the Steelers and beat them. When I said

177
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: this is a boring breakdown, I really think it's that simple.

178
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: Like if they can continue to run and run and

179
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: maybe not hit a lot of results, but in the

180
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: fourth quarter they're still handing it off, you know, sixty

181
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: six percent of the time, this will be a game,

182
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: you know, and it's just that's all they do and

183
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: it's all they can they do. Yeah, I mean it's brutal.

184
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,599
Speaker 1: And the Steelers are built as a as a defense

185
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: to get run stops, to get stops behind the line

186
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. So all of a sudden, now if they're

187
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: in second and twelve, you know, I mean their protections, Okay,

188
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: but it's sort of hard to say it because they

189
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: rarely are dropping back on third and eight, and they

190
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: certainly aren't by design ever. Um, you know the thing

191
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: you started the segment with was they got four guys

192
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: that are what over rushing three hundred? Well, they have

193
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: not no receivers that have hit four hundred. The Steelers

194
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: have three of them. They're one of the few teams

195
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: you know, like it's some of their numbers are astronomical.

196
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: They really are. It really is so different than how

197
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: the league plays. Yeah, at one point, this was a

198
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: three and three football team. They're now five and seven. Yeah,

199
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: I think they come it's going going the wrong way.

200
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: You look at the Steelers, they've not won two of

201
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: their last three games, and you think maybe this is

202
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: a team that's going the other way. Yeah, I think so.

203
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: They're passing each other on the chart. But when it's

204
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: all said and done, I don't think these teams will

205
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: be particularly close to each other in the power ranks,

206
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: where I'm sure a lot of power rankers have Atlanta

207
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: over the Steelers based on record, and but I just

208
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: don't I would much rather play against Atlanta than the

209
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: Steelers no matter what team I have. Oh, I think

210
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: that's without a doubt. Unless you just absolutely can't stop

211
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: the run, right, maybe the Browns wouldn't. You know, the

212
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: Browns are one of their wins exactly, so um and

213
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: this was not you know, I know that. You look

214
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: at the game the Steelers played earlier this season against

215
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: the Browns, and Chubb had a good game. But I

216
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: didn't feel like they lost that game because a Chub

217
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: as much as they did sent me a couple of

218
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: throws in that game that beat them. Yeah. Yeah, and

219
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: they were still learning his thing too. And you know,

220
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think Mariota can do that.

221
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't either, especially with his receivers. You know, like

222
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: Drake London hasn't at forty yards since I think week three.

223
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: Zakis is starting to be the most targeted guy, but

224
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't scare anyone. You know, Like they have three

225
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: tight ends right now, and they play a lot of

226
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: heavier sets with two tight ends. Michael Pruett and um

227
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: Fuser and some other dude I've never heard of. I mean,

228
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: they're all like splitting time equally with Pits out. I mean,

229
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: it's it's weird, and there are some trends to post

230
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: Pits injuries, like all of a sudden, Patterson's going out

231
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: on routes a lot more. They're trying some new things.

232
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean Pitt. We we always joked or poured our

233
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: hair out about Pits from fantasy perspective, but every defense

234
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: doubled him, like everything he had his fault. And now

235
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: they don't have that guy, you know, so it's nobody

236
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: makes anyone else better. Why sent you this that earlier

237
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: in the day about about this Falcons team and whether

238
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: you know this is true or not, I don't know.

239
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: But they faced the least amount of man coverage. You

240
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: don't have to you don't have the guy. Yeah, we're

241
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: gonna sit here in zones. We want to keep eyes

242
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: on Mariota, make him pick us apart with accurate throws

243
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: between guys, which isn't really his bag either. You know,

244
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: they're I'm sure you can man these guys up because

245
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: their receivers aren't great verse man either, you know, especially

246
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: again with Pits out. So it makes all the sense

247
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: in the world is we don't need to get creative.

248
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: We don't want to allow a big play, you know,

249
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: man coverage guy trips or gets beat on a double move.

250
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: We don't even even want those things to happen. Make

251
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: them matricular late the ball down the field. So if

252
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: you did play Mariota seeing man coverage escorting to a

253
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: pro football focus or actually this is via next gen stats, um,

254
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: which I guess they would be able to, they will

255
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: be attracted it. Yeah, Um, eighteen point seven percent of

256
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: the time, which is very low. As you said, The

257
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: next quarterback on the list is to ah at nineteen

258
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: point nine and then Russell Wilson at twenty two point two. Okay,

259
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: the guys that face the most man are Zack Wilson,

260
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, and Patrick Mahomes. What are the percentages on

261
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: those guys? Four percent on Wilson, forty four percent on Goff,

262
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: and thirty nine point three percent on Mahomes. Um, there's

263
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: a bit of a misnomer. I just want to take

264
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: a quick opportunity to our our our audience. No one

265
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: plays man. I mean like like, oh, they play a

266
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: lot of man. Well, that means they played like man.

267
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: It's like the Steelers last year we're around and they

268
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: were one of the heaviest man teams in the league

269
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: this year, and they're too. I mean, like, if you're

270
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: playing fifty percent man, that is a massive amount. You know,

271
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: people don't realize that. They think, oh, it's a man team.

272
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: William Jackson's man corner. He's be out there time playing man. No,

273
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: that's not really the way it works. And the Steelers

274
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: also play you know, the matchup zones and things of

275
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: that nature, look like a man but really started zone

276
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: and then you switched to me and turned a man. Right.

277
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: That's why I don't love man zone numbers, because even

278
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: if you're the smartest of coaches, you don't know what

279
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: the play call is. But there's enough body of work

280
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: here that these old things where you can you could

281
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: look at it and two guys are playing man. Two

282
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: guys are playing the other two corners, you know, the

283
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: other two defensive backs out they're playing zone. You're like, okay,

284
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: what are they in? Yeah, I don't know. And the

285
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: and I mean there's a cover six and there's things

286
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: like that. We're half the field and playing man half

287
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: the field. And I'm saying, you know, to the field

288
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: or the worst thing when you're looking at coverages somebody

289
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: blows the coverage and doesn't do what they're supposed to,

290
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: and then you're like, I don't know what, five guys

291
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: playing zone and one guy playing man and it's like

292
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: vice versa one guy. That's when it really gets You

293
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: got five guys playing a man and one guy decides

294
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: he's playing zone and he doesn't get the call and

295
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: there's a guy running twenty yards downfield. That's when that happens.

296
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: That's when that happens, right, all right, So that does

297
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: screw you up, you know, like you would sit there

298
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: watching tape, you know, like who's wrong here? I don't know.

299
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: I know somebody's wrong, but I don't know. And then

300
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: everybody curses the defensive coordinator. Yeah, you know, he's the

301
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: one that blew the coverage, right, Yeah, he's just trying

302
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: to make up for Johnny. He doesn't know what he's doing.

303
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: That is a problem. But these are numbers are accurate,

304
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, like two is never gonna get manned because

305
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: they're scared of death of tyree kill. You know, Kansas

306
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: City was lowest in the league and man last year

307
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: and now Miami's lowest in the league. And you know

308
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: these teams that that aren't seeing the man. Or if

309
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: you look at Atlanta, you look at Miami, you look

310
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: at Denver, more read options stuff. Maybe not so much

311
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: in Denver, but certainly in front of it, and in

312
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: Atlanta does some of it as well. That that could

313
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: absolutely be a case, you know, where you don't want

314
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: to run, you just want to see bigger picture, so nice,

315
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and and see the whole

316
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: thing and react to it as opposed to I'm glued

317
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: to this guy that would add up yeah, so um

318
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: and then steal the quarterbacks like Zach Wilson. He said

319
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: its number one on there because he stinks first, I

320
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: mean yeah, I mean he just sometimes the books written

321
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: he can't kick the curveball. Well, no, wonder you're getting

322
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: curveballs left and right right now right, yeah, yeah, you're

323
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: gonna keep seeing it until you hit it right and

324
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: he hasn't hit it yet. Uh. I just wonder if

325
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers when they do play Man in this game,

326
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: do you spy Mariota? Probably I would think Bush because again,

327
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: there's nobody in this defense or in this offense you go, oh,

328
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: we gotta double this guy. So he has the six

329
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: most rushing yards per game amongst quarterbacks. He's a good runner.

330
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't think he's close to Lamar Fields even Alan.

331
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like he's more than serviceable. He's closer to

332
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: pick it as a runner, in my opinion than he

333
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: is Lamar. Oh, yeah, no, doubt know for sure. But

334
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: it's also one of their best weapons, something to do

335
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: a lot. They do a lot, and he's good at it,

336
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, right, um, you know, certainly they do it

337
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: more than the Steelers do. And we saw you know,

338
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: we just saw a pick it run six times in

339
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: the last game and a couple designed one. You know,

340
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna get eight to ten carries, I would think.

341
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: I mean, he pretty much does every game as we've seen.

342
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: When when teams do that against the Steelers, the quarterback

343
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: is going to get hit. That's certainly a priority with

344
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: this defense more than most. If you're gonna let me

345
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: hit your quarterback, I'm going to even if I cleanly

346
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: watch him pitch at the quarterall Patterson, but his chest

347
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: is exposed and I can bury him, I'm gonna. Yeah.

348
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: And Mario has been injury prone in the in the past,

349
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: but he's a bigger, stronger guy and he's withstood it

350
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: this year, so I think it'll be something to keep

351
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: an eye on a lot. Most of the time, that's

352
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: the outside linebackers just crack on the breed option stuff,

353
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: just crashing and hitting the quarterback. A lot of times

354
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: they leave those guys unblocked and that's what they read

355
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: and if he follows, then they keep it, or you know,

356
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: vice versa. The Steelers have said, Okay, you want to

357
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: do that and get you let us have a shot

358
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: at your quarterback. We're gonna take the shot right and

359
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: trust you guys behind them to stop the run. Or

360
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: the quarterback says, this isn't fun anymore, Let's stop playing that.

361
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: You playing that? You know? This is this one is

362
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: good practice. In my eyes. The Steelers haven't seen the

363
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: Ravens yet this year. This is nice Ravens practice. Yeah,

364
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there is some similarities for sure. I mean,

365
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: there's not dynamic receivers um quarterback, no doubt about it,

366
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: you know. And maybe the better way to look at

367
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: it is, this is J. V. Ravens, who you're used to,

368
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, You're used to the Ravens

369
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: more than any defense in the league is. And you're

370
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: gonna look at this thing and be like, Okay, this

371
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: is fine, but harder what I mean, So I just wonder,

372
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: you know, if Tarall Austin this week of tear Austin,

373
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, Brown Flores, they pull up, Hey, let's just

374
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: go get the you know, wonder we've got. Yeah, we've

375
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: got our what we do against the Ravens. We'll just

376
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: do that and most of the guys will get it.

377
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: They'll pick it up pretty quickly. Then we can just

378
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: roll that through the next week. Yeah, you know, I mean,

379
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: and I would assume you'll see probably no dime, you know,

380
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you know it won't be And then

381
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: when are they ever gonna put you know, are they

382
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: gonna put three receivers on the field a lot? I

383
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: don't think they do hardly at all. I mean, And

384
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: and even then the're probably still gonna look to run

385
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: the football. So play your linebackers quick note on them too.

386
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: Just why we're talking personnel. As I dug this up today,

387
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: zero dime on their defense, you know, so you can

388
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: run on them. Steelers are running well. But if you

389
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: know you're getting nickel, might you go for wide here

390
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: and there? You know, I mean, just you're gonna get

391
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: fire move on linebacker then or right? Well, I mean,

392
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't even know if you have to

393
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: go for a wide because fire moves like a wide

394
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: receiversolutely in a lot of instances. So you can put

395
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: three receivers on the field, you're gonna have a mismatch somewhere. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.

396
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: But they don't play dime at all. I mean, they're

397
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: one of the few teams so I just thought that

398
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: was interesting because you would think teams would want to

399
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: spread these guys out. You know, they are small and not.

400
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: Terrell is back. He's a very good player. Um Grady

401
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: Jared's a well known and they'll have Terrell follow they can. Yeah,

402
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll pick Pickens or Johnson. You know,

403
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't know who you would pick on this on

404
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: the Steeler's offense right now, when you watch over the

405
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: last two or three years, everyone treats Johnson like a

406
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: number one w our audience still is shocked by I

407
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: don't quite understand why they're shocked. I wonder if that

408
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: would change about now because the Pickens well, I mean

409
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: they just played the Bengals two weeks ago, and the

410
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: Bengals treated Johnson like the Absolutely they're the team that

411
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: sees them the most, and they said, hey, he's the

412
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: guy that where's Johnson? Ben? Everyone else blows up and

413
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: he's the one that they're rolling coverages to, you know.

414
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: So um, you know, but Pickens, I would think at

415
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: some point here starts to see I can see. I mean,

416
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: if I were them, I would consider, Hey, a J. Terrell,

417
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: you follow Pickens all day long. I mean, Terrell is

418
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: a long, big bodied guy, you know. I mean, he's

419
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: I would rather have his style against Pickens than the

420
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: shifty Johnson, you know what I mean. And then roll

421
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: coverage is the other way. Yeah, um, you know. But

422
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: at the same time, the Steelers are running the ball

423
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot, and this run defense isn't very

424
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: good either. Yeah it's not. It's juicy, Yeah, it really is.

425
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: I Mean the things that worry me in this game

426
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: are short week as we talked about, with the travel

427
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: and sleep and all that stuff. Again on the road

428
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: against a very physical team. You know, like in the

429
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, you're gonna be man, I could have used

430
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: an extra night sleep. You know. The idea is keep

431
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: the defense off the field. Yeah, I think you can

432
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: do that against this team. And then the big thing

433
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: that worries me obviously is Cordial Patterson as a kickoff returner.

434
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: That's a big con. That's their biggest advantage. To be

435
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: honest with you, I mean, he's the last guy you

436
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: want to see right now. But to that point to Steelers,

437
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: I said, I wasn't gonna talk about the practice reportment.

438
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: Miles Boykin was back today, Rothers Blaine was back today.

439
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: J Lem Warren was back today. So you're getting some

440
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: of those core special teams guys back that you were

441
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: missing last week. You know, though, Atlanta special teams coach

442
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: is gonna be like, don't ever take a knee. He doesn't,

443
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: and he does it anyway. He could take it a

444
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: hundred nine yards deep and he's bringing it out. That's

445
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: just that's kind of trusted and unfortunately, considering the kicker

446
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,239
Speaker 1: right now, it's not like he's gonna probably boom him

447
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: out of the end zone and he certainly don't want

448
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: to kick it out of bounds. You know, that's one

449
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: for Atlan too, So he's gonna he's gonna get returns. Yeah. Absolutely,

450
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: you could subscribe to the Mike Tomling game day podcast,
