1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Your tune's about drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: Good evening, Steeler Nation. How are we doing?

4
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a great.

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: Same with us, Same with us.

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 3: But at least it's enjoy your weekend. Yeah.

8
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing. It's a Friday, it's a fall weekend.

9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 2: Well we'll wallow in it today, but then after that,

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: let's let's all breathe and get back to it because

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: Matt listen. That's the weird part of this is, in

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: the big picture, I think pretty much every reasonable Steeler

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: fan would have signed up for four and two after

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: six games.

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and everyone the first.

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: Place the division. Four and two after six games. That's

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: all you get told in August.

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 3: And I'm so dominat do it every year. The day

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 3: the schedule comes out, we do a show and you

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 3: look at it and I like Thursday Night in Cincy.

21
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: And it didn't it didn't know. It was not the

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow led to Sinnati Bengals that we expected. Heck,

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson didn't even play cam Taylor Britt didn't even

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: play bench because he got benched for discipline.

25
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: Ay bench because he's not very good.

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: Oh that yeah, okay, well there we will regardless Broth. Yeah,

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: it just it's a it's a weird type of day

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: because it can't be anything but disappointed, frustrated, upset with

29
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: how that went Thursday night in Cincinnati.

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: But we're all crazy to assume you're gonna win just

31
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: walking into any NFL game. Yes, I mean, it's nuts

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: and we all do it.

33
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: I know I've told you this story before, but one

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: of the first couple of weeks that Motes and I,

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: I think it was kind of a lot like you

36
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: and Dale. Mots and I started doing the show together,

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: The Blitz in twenty eighteen, and it was like we

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: met the day before getting in a meeting with our

39
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: boss Brian, and then the next day we started doing

40
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: a show together. So there's a whole feeling out process

41
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: for sure. And I remember we're going through games or

42
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: something like that a couple of weeks into it, and

43
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know if they'll blow them out,

44
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: like something like I use that term a blowout, and

45
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: Motes was like, let me just ask you real quick,

46
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: like what is a blowout?

47
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

48
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: And I think my answer was like two touchdowns, you know,

49
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: like if you lose two or more touchdowns, that's that's

50
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: your thirteen points, fourteen points or more. That's a blowout.

51
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: And he was he kind of like grinned, and I

52
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 2: was like, why, what's a blowout? He was like, in

53
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 2: the NFL, anything more than a possession is a blowout.

54
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: Like he's like, it's not Alabama. I'll never forget this.

55
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: He goes, it's not Alabama playing South Central Missouri, Tennessee.

56
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: Those are all professional dudes.

57
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, He's like, every team has millionaires, every team

58
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: has all pros. Yeah, yes, every team has coaches that know,

59
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: if we lose a couple of games here, I'm going

60
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: to be moving my family and looking for a new job,

61
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna have to tell my son and my

62
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: daughter that they're not going to school with their friends anymore.

63
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: Previous game planners and nasty you know, schemers. I'm talking

64
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: about just the coaches.

65
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I think we are at times. I

66
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: know everyone wants to talk about trap games. I don't

67
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: think they exist really in the NF. Now, if you're

68
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: playing the Jets this weekend and you go and lose,

69
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: maybe it's a trap game, you know, but there's so

70
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: few examples of that special division. You know, if you're

71
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: playing the Jets next week and then the Ravens on

72
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: a short week and you lose to the Jets, maybe

73
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: you could convince me that's a trap game. Yeah yeah,

74
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: But in the NFL, there's hardly any any trap games.

75
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: There's not these you know, twenty some point favorites that

76
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: you see Penn State losing to UCLA is twenty four

77
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: point favorites or whatever it was. Like you, you hardly

78
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: ever get spreads over double digits in the NFL.

79
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 3: I mean, in unlike college. So many of these guys

80
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: are a thirty year old guard with four kids, thirty

81
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: five million in the bank, that eats, works out everything

82
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: to do this as long as he humanly possibly can.

83
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: And that's why he is thirty five million in the

84
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: bank with four happy kids. You know what I mean?

85
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: Because there's point zero zero one percent of the eight

86
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: billion people on this planet that can do.

87
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: They can do it right, right right, and I know

88
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: how to maintain that. I am invited back next.

89
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: Life right right right. Look at Cam and how he's

90
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: managed Aaron Rodgers Like you ever watched Ted last of

91
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: the TV show. Yeah, football is life.

92
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.

93
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: That's that's like how it is for all these guys

94
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: in the NFL. And so maybe some of that is

95
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 2: on every team has a lot of them. Maybe, you know, again,

96
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: maybe we're naive to think, like we're all predicting Steelers

97
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: go in there and win twenty one to ten, twenty

98
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: seven to fourteen. Like maybe we're naive to be at

99
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: that point. But man, like I said that the weird no, no, no,

100
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: this is just this is just us reality here. But

101
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: I also at the same time, like it's a very

102
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: like I'm driving in today and I'm thinking about this,

103
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: and I'm like, it's a weird place to be. Because again,

104
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: if you would have told me at the beginning of

105
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: the year, four and two in the AFC North after

106
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: six games, you've got what a game and a half

107
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: lead on the Bengals and a three and a half

108
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: f game lead to and half, Yeah, all of us

109
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: would have signed when training camps started. If we were

110
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: sat on October seventeenth, you're four and two, your first

111
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: place in the North by multiple games, we would all

112
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: I would have said, pricked my finger, I'll sign in

113
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: blood right now. Where do I sign lose in Cincinnati

114
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: and it but it doesn't feel that way after the

115
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 2: last night's lost.

116
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 3: It doesn't. It doesn't. And a lot of that's immediate reaction.

117
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: And you got a really long stretch here. If they

118
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: beat the Packers next to Monday, everyone's gonna be losing

119
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: their mind, you know.

120
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: Back to you know, we're going to a playoff game

121
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: and we're going to go on run. Yeah.

122
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But they get this three game stretch coming up. Now.

123
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: I'm not going to pretend that every game is as

124
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: easy as the next. I mean, you know, but this

125
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: next three games for Steelers could go very bad. I mean,

126
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: there's no doubt Chargers, Colton Packers, that could be an

127
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: zero to four stretch, and then you really have a

128
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: different feel absolutely times a million, right.

129
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely, especially because two of those games at home. Two

130
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: of those three are at home, right right right. The

131
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 2: one in LA is the Sunday night football out there,

132
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: which will be a weird like five twenty local start

133
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: for us for the eight to twenty kickoff. But you

134
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: get the Packers at home now, especially too, with extra

135
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: time to rest and prepare, and you get the Colts

136
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: at home as well too.

137
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: You better respond.

138
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you better respond.

139
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 3: And you don't want to look back on the year

140
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 3: and be like that Thursday night or was the beginning

141
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: of the end.

142
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: Kind of like that stretch that the Steelers had around

143
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: Christmas last shutter where things started to fall apart. You

144
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: cannot let this be that stretch for you. And maybe, hey,

145
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: maybe it's a good spot for them to be in

146
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: early in the season. Like you also don't want to

147
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: be comfortable.

148
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: No, no, no.

149
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: It's one thing if you're the Chiefs and you'd been

150
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: to like the last three Super Bowls and you go

151
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: fifteen and two, Okay, you trust that team to know,

152
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: we got to turn it on. We've been here, We've

153
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: done this. That's so rare. That's so rare.

154
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: Typically you guys, he was like the Beauty of Belichick.

155
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: You never let those Patriot teams get that way right.

156
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: Every day was hard almost everybody. You got to take

157
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: your lumps up and down, up and down. I saw

158
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: this on on social media last night. I forget who

159
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: posted it. I think it was a national person person

160
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: actually that had, you know, like some Steeler fan that

161
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: tweeted him. It might have been someone from NFL network.

162
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: Or ESPN, and some Steeler fan was like, you know,

163
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: this is proof that that we can't be any better

164
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: this year and we're either gonna miss the playoffs, so

165
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna get blown out one and done again, you know.

166
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: And he quote tweeted it and he was like, hey,

167
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: just so you know Tom Brady's first year in Tampa.

168
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: Early in that season, they went to New Orleans or

169
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: actually I think it was a home game in Tampa.

170
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: They lost like thirty to six to the Saints. Like

171
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: same thing was week seven or week eight, say end

172
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: of October, similar timeline. Yeah, but I'm pretty sure they

173
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: were at home and New Orleans and Drew Brees went

174
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: in there and it was like thirty to three or

175
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: thirty to six was the final score. And he was like, hey,

176
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: that Tampa team won the Super Bowl. He's like, I'm not,

177
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: and the Steelers are gonna win the Super Bowl. But

178
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: you can have bad losses. Almost every team, almost every

179
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion team has bad losses. It happens. It's

180
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: about how you respond and how you get better and

181
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: how you improve from there. And maybe the Steelers needed

182
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: that a little bit. Maybe they were as much as

183
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: every athlete every coach preaches singularly focused, singularly focused, they're humans.

184
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: This is another thinges who talk about all the time.

185
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: We can talk about singularly focused. We can talk about

186
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: one game, one week at a time, one and oh one,

187
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: and oh forget everybody else, forget the bigger picture. And

188
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: he's like, and that is true. You try and do that,

189
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: but you're still human. You're still we're four it at

190
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: Baltimore and look at Cincinnati Cleveland. You know, maybe this

191
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: could be a good crossroads moment, a good kind of

192
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 2: kick in the backside for them to not be as

193
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 2: comfortable as maybe they've been in the last couple of weeks.

194
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: So this comes from Ron Dwarski, who was way ahead

195
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: of his time in terms of he was a good quarterback,

196
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 3: but then he became a quarterback analyst, and like Greg

197
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: co Cell learned from Jaws, you know, like this is

198
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: eighty stuff a long time ago who learned from like

199
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: great coaches and all this stuff, And Jaws has this

200
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: theory that all the work he's done on quarterbacks and

201
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 3: being a former quarterback was in the league for a

202
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 3: long time, a long time starter, a good player that

203
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 3: every quarterback has, like two games a year where you

204
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 3: just don't have your fastball, Like I bet pictures are

205
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: the same, and I can't let anyone know. And I

206
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 3: got to paint the corners or I got to figure

207
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 3: out something. And I bet every position. Does you know

208
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 3: if you told Cam Hayward or Pouncy or wat or

209
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 3: whoever type, right right, Like, maybe I still was better

210
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: than the average defensive end, but it wasn't very good

211
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: out of ten, Yeah, like I got away with it.

212
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 2: Or boy, my six out of ten might be a

213
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,479
Speaker 2: seven and a half for everybody.

214
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: Else, right right, right, Or man, I just wasn't skating

215
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: as well. I couldn't shoot that day or whatever.

216
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: Curve ball wasn't curving.

217
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're all going to have those days.

218
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: They are, They absolutely are. And unfortunately for the Steelers,

219
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: a lot of them had those days yesterday while Cincinnati.

220
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: Nobody picked each other up on defense exactly.

221
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, particularly on defense. I again, the offense was great.

222
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: You find a way to win that game. We're coming

223
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: here today. The whole first hour we're singing the praises

224
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: of the offense and talking about the offensive line and

225
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: talking about Jalen Warren and Aaron Right, Pat Fryarmouth and

226
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,239
Speaker 2: all that. Yeah, that's that's what makes it a little disappointing.

227
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: And that's the way she gets that game was good. Yeah,

228
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: that's what The two analogies that I really like are

229
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 2: pursuit as. You had a chance to knock them out

230
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: in the first couple of rounds, and you lost the

231
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 2: decision decision in fifteen, and that to me was a

232
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: presidential election type performance. You lost forty nine percent of it.

233
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but all the.

234
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: Other side needed fifty one was to celebrate victory and

235
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: claim supreme power. And how you feel in like total

236
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: do doo right right right, ultra Hank tweets, let's get that.

237
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: We've got a couple of minutes left in this segment

238
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: and then we'll do a beefy around the league segment. Yeah,

239
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 2: and we'll close with some tweets on the other side. Again,

240
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 2: ultra hank tweets instead of felt like they were playing

241
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 2: ten Mississippi on the pass rush for Cincinnati a couple times, but.

242
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: Flat Bengals pass rush or the Steelers.

243
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 2: Pass I think he means the Steelers pass rush, they

244
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: I mean were non existent.

245
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 3: There were some there were some Steeler snaps that were five, six.

246
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: That's what I was gonna say. There were plenty of

247
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 2: times that Flacco got rid of that thing in two seconds.

248
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: There were also plenty of times that he was dropping

249
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: back for three, three and a half four four and

250
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: a half seconds.

251
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 3: Both these older quarterbacks didn't have to elude as much rush,

252
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: which isn't.

253
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: In an alternate universe. Maybe the Steelers have three sacks

254
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: in that game. Yeah, but there was no universe where

255
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: they were getting six or seven. No, No, I mean

256
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: I remember one where TJ was was a millisecond away

257
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: towards the end of the game that Flacco got it off.

258
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: But other than that.

259
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: No, the pressure was a letdown, Yes for sure. Yes,

260
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 3: and I didn't see that coming.

261
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: Andrew tweet you know I did not either. Andrew tweet

262
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: us and said Steelers defense went from creative blitzing and

263
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: utilizing her big to go in vanilla and only thirty

264
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: eight percent of the snaps for number fifty one. Not

265
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: sure if it's just a Thursday night road game, not

266
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: having time to install, so they reverted to some basics.

267
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: What do you guys think?

268
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have a great answer.

269
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: That's another thing that maybe we can talk about a

270
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: little bit more on Monday after we both have a chance.

271
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 3: Y Yeah, And I bet I won't have a great

272
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: answer because herbig needs to play a lot. And I'll

273
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: always say that no matter how that formula ends up.

274
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: And he didn't play as much as I would have

275
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 3: played him, no matter what the reasoning is, unless I

276
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: hear something that changed my mind, and.

277
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: If it was one thing where like the Bengals led

278
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: from start to finish, and so they were just running

279
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: the ball and you wanted your bigger bodies out there

280
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: in the run game. But that wasn't the case.

281
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: Because Sawyer played more than I would have played him.

282
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: I mean, and maybe that was a function of the

283
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 2: Thursday night short week.

284
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: And maybe. I mean, none of these guys are one

285
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: hundred percent healthy.

286
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: No, you know that's a that's another motism. The only

287
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: time you're one hundred percent healthy is those first couple

288
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: of days of acclamation practice and latrope. Okay, and then

289
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: once the clock, once the calendar turns to August and

290
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: you put the pads on. Nobody's one hundred percent healthy

291
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 2: from that first training camp practice.

292
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 3: And there's a difference. I mean, that doesn't mean they

293
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: had to be on injury or poorer. Something's bothering everybody, Yeah.

294
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: Elbows a little sore, yeah.

295
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 3: Or even Tomlin afterwards said, you know, no significant injuries,

296
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 3: which good.

297
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. By the way, that doesn't mean the guys are

298
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: feeling great this morning.

299
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 3: No, but I wonder with something. But it's a short

300
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: cut to analyzing. And and I've told you this because

301
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 3: I've done it longer than you. I hate talking about injuries.

302
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: If you've been around a team, you walk through the

303
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: training room, it's like any of these guys play, they's

304
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: got a bruise on this big and things like that.

305
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: Like all the old pictures people used to love them.

306
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: They still pop up on social media of like Ben

307
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: walking around to practice and he's got a big ice

308
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: wrap on one shoulder, and his ribs are tied and

309
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: his he's got icy looks like a catcher who just

310
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: you know who just caught fourteen innings of an extra

311
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: innings baseball game with big ice packs on his knees.

312
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: There's a famous picture from like ten years ago of

313
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: JJ Watt had a bruise really from like his waist.

314
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 3: I remember that picture, like a large portion of his

315
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: huge legs.

316
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: Like someone took purple paint and threw it on y

317
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: on the life of his bad.

318
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: You know, with two coats, I mean like and that

319
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: probably people were like, I bet that Buggy and JJ

320
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: will get back in practice, you know. But my reasoning

321
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: is maybe herbig was dealing something. I don't know, you

322
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Other But if that's not the answer,

323
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: thirty eight percent of snaps is not enough for me.

324
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: You know, that's a short answer, I guess.

325
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's take a break here. We will close with

326
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: tweets in the final segment, but we're going to go

327
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: around the league when we return on the other side,

328
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: a fun slate of games it's going on this NFL

329
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: Sunday that we will get to when we return. West Shoeler,

00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: Pen ultimate segment of the week. Here we'll get back

335
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: into final Steelers and Bengals commiserations on the other side,

336
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: But it is time for our Friday tradition of going

337
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: around the league. Here, you know, given a quick sixty

338
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: seconds ninety seconds thoughts on each of these games, and

339
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: there are some good ones once again that we'll run

340
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: through here and then have about this little bonus for

341
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: you mat at the end of us running the game,

342
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: but of NFL picks here, I've got three or four

343
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: college football games. Oh no, you go on Saturday as

344
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: well too, from that black and gold quarterback perspective that

345
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: we've been following all year. But let's start across the

346
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: pond at Wembley Stadium in London, Jacksonville hosting the Rams.

347
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: The Rams three and a half point favorites for that

348
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: early nine to thirty East Coast kickoff time.

349
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think there's value to the Jags playing

350
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: in London as often as they do, especially after we

351
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: went over there. I'm like, if you did this a lot,

352
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 3: there would be a bonus for that.

353
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: And think the Rams have to come the whole way

354
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: across the country first before gone.

355
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: They didn't stay. They played in Baltimore last. It makes

356
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: no sense, right, spend two days somewhere on the East

357
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: Coast and go over early. I don't know.

358
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: Why they did they do that. I don't think they did.

359
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 3: I didn't hear that they did. I mean but I

360
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: mean maybe it's true. I'm still picking the Rams.

361
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: I think they did they stayed Oh did they Okay,

362
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: they stayed in Baltimore. They practiced at Camden Yards, the

363
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: Eagle or the Orioles Venue, and then and then flew

364
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: to London.

365
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: Good. Okay, that makes so much more sense.

366
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: That's also so that's two weeks away from home, ten

367
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: days away from home. I mean, different time zones. Yeah,

368
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: it's a lot. It's a lot as opposed to the

369
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: Jags who do it all the time. Do it all

370
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: the time.

371
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think there's an advantage to that. But

372
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 3: the Jags O line against pressure was really really bad

373
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: last week, and I think that Rams front is a

374
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 3: massive advantage in this game. I don't think Puka is

375
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: gonna play, which is big but a big thing for

376
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 3: me here is McVeigh tot Liam Cohen kind of all

377
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 3: he knows and I'm going with the master here, not

378
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: the paddle on.

379
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: This is a tough one like this is one that

380
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 2: I would like to stay away from. You know, this

381
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 2: is one I would just like to stay away from.

382
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: I could see either team pulling it out here. I

383
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: do think the Rams are the better team. I think

384
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: Jacksonville is more experienced with this type of travel scenario. Yeah, yeah,

385
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: I think I'm with you, though. If I have to

386
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 2: pick a gun to my head, I got to make

387
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: a call. I think I'll lay the points with the

388
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 2: Rams as well too. Just like the quarterback more, I

389
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 2: like the head coach more. I think they're just a

390
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: little bit better of a team. I'll tell you what

391
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: we've kind of said this now. It feels like three

392
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: weeks in a row for Jacksonville because they had the

393
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs and then Seattle and now Rams, three good teams

394
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: that Jacksonville's played in a row. Here. If Jacksonville can

395
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 2: win this, that'll tell me a lot about that team.

396
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: If they can they can win two of those three

397
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: in that tough stretch.

398
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: Tough loss, yeah, yeah, five and.

399
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: Two, I'd be like, all right, this team, they're going

400
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: to play seventeen meaningful games this season to either go

401
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 2: to the playoffs or be playing for a playoffs on it.

402
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 2: In Week eighteen, Chicago hosting New Orleans. Heck, the Steelers

403
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 2: are going to see the Bears before too much longer

404
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: now as well. Two Bears playing much better, feeling much

405
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: better about themselves. New Orleans just one and five, but

406
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: they've been competitive in pretty much every single game. At

407
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 2: Soldier Field in Chicago, one o'clock kickoff, the Bears four

408
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 2: and a half point favorites.

409
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: Saints aren't horrible, great players, but they play teams tough.

410
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not getting blown out like the Jets have been.

411
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: No, No, I mean they have. They'd a couple of

412
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 3: bad games early, but they're competitive and I think they're

413
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 3: well coached. I also think the Bears just want a

414
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 3: big one that a lot of people didn't think they

415
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: could and they're a young team. I often think you're

416
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 3: a little vulnerable, but I also think they're kind of

417
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: turning a corner. I think the Saints keep it close,

418
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 3: though I want points in this one.

419
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: This is one. If it's Chicago three and a half,

420
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: two and a half, i'd lay the points with the Bears.

421
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

422
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: I think taking the points in this one is smart

423
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: because this feels like a three to four point win

424
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: for for ether whatever team either way, and so in

425
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 2: that case, I'm with you. I think the smart snat

426
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 2: savvy play here is to is to take the points

427
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: and take New Orleans plus four and a half. In Cleveland,

428
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 2: this one. Yeah, could be ugly, and not just because

429
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: they're expecting Did you see this fifty mile an hour wins.

430
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know there's an extreme weather. I didn't

431
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 3: know what it was.

432
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 2: Well, they're saying forty to fifty mile an hour. I'm

433
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 2: maybe just exaggerating a little bit with the bigger number.

434
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 2: And you know, now, then the Browns are like, this

435
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: is why we're building a stadium away from the lakes,

436
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: so the weather might not the ideal. Two teams that

437
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: are really struggling. The Browns are two and a half

438
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: point favorites at home by far, the lowest under over

439
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: under of the weekend.

440
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 3: Which just has to be super weather related. Yeah, I'm

441
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 3: just taking points. These are two of the worst teams

442
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 3: in the league.

443
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: Take Cleveland plus two and a half or sorry, Miamiami

444
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: and half.

445
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 3: See.

446
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna lay them with Cleveland. I that

447
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: Miami offense and bad weather, I don't like it.

448
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: It's just it's a finest It's a lot of Ferraris

449
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 3: and Lamborghinis.

450
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's not the kind of car I want

451
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: to be driving in Cleveland. Yeah, no doubt. And they're

452
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: another team maybe a little you know, honked off about

453
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: their performance last week, although I guess Miami's proverbally been

454
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: in that spot.

455
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: As well too. Neither team's in a good spot.

456
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: Tennessee back at home hosting New England. Vrabel and like

457
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen to twenty, some of his staff who used

458
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: to work there roll back into Music City looking for

459
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: some revenge. The Patriots six and a half point favorites

460
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 2: on the road.

461
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: I think the world's a little too ahead of them

462
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 3: on The Patriots agree, but I just think this is

463
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: not an interim coach bomb situation. I just think the

464
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: Titans are broken, and I bet Rabel wants the big

465
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 3: win big, you know, just in terms of covering. He

466
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 3: might push the envelope a little bit late.

467
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: I I don't like a six and a half point

468
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: road favorite. That's a lot of points to be laying

469
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: on the road, But I I think Rabel and his

470
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: staff are gonna want this one bad and decisive fashion.

471
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: And it might even be something like you say, you

472
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 2: know they're up, they're up for late and they score

473
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: a touchdown.

474
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 3: You know, yeah.

475
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 2: I I don't like laying six and a half points

476
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: with a road team, but I will here with with

477
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: New England really bad, really bad spot. And I'm with

478
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: you too. I think people are a little too high

479
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: on the Patriots. But hey, maybe maybe another week of

480
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 2: that continues.

481
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they have a couple of really easy

482
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 3: schedule coming up. People might continue doing them a little bit.

483
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kansas City is at home, biggest spread of the weekend.

484
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: They are twelve and a half point favorites at home

485
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 2: over the Raiders.

486
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 3: I fear that Kansas City is now the best team

487
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: in the league and it's gonna get boring AFC. Yeah,

488
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: and I don't like the Raiders, but Kansas City doesn't

489
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 3: blow teams out very much.

490
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: You do is play one score game.

491
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: They just control the action well a lot, a lot

492
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 3: of points. I think I'm taking the points.

493
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: Like Kansas City could be up twenty.

494
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

495
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: Gino Smith throws a garbage time touchdown to Brock Bowers.

496
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: He's not having a great year, but oh, I mean

497
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 3: he knows how to win this league, right, Yeah.

498
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 2: Jacobe Meyer with forty seconds left in a garbage time

499
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: touchdown and the Raiders back to recover. I think I'm

500
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 2: gonna take the Twelve and a half is a lot.

501
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 3: Of points to leg Yeah, I mean if Mahomes doesn't

502
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 3: play the last two series or Shones is sitting.

503
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 2: Out, and I'm like ninety nine point nine percent confident

504
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 2: Kansas City is gonna win. But as you mentioned, they

505
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: don't ever blow anybody out. It's just not what they do.

506
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 3: Double digit points this year seem like a winner.

507
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: A fun one. In Minnesota. The Eagles roll in there

508
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 2: to the US Bank Stadium. Will it be JJ McCarthy,

509
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: Will it be I want the Carson Wentz the revenge.

510
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be wins. I don't know if

511
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 3: they've announced it, but I think that's the lean I do.

512
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: It sounded like that's the lean, but they haven't completely

513
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: closed the door on McCarthy. But I want to see

514
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: Wentz against the Eagles. Yeah, could win. I mean the

515
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,239
Speaker 2: Eagles are reeling a little bit. Could Winz kind of

516
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: drive that knife in a little bit more Philadelphia over

517
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 2: kind of this last decade ish that they've been very good,

518
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 2: dating back to Doug Peterson and Carson wentz Man, they've

519
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: had Minnesota's number. They've beaten him in some big games,

520
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: playoff games, the NFC Championship game, Philly two and a

521
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 2: half point favorites, at the Vikings.

522
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 3: I think Minnesota wins.

523
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 2: I think so too.

524
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: I think the Eagles have some issues. Awful place to

525
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: play coming off of bye. It's kind of I need

526
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: to know. I'm with you.

527
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that Philly's favored. I thought Minnesota would be favored,

528
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 2: like a point and a half.

529
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 3: There's three, tea. I think there's three games this week.

530
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 3: This is the first one that I think the wrong

531
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 3: team's favored.

532
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm with you on that. Let's see what the

533
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 2: other two are here as we roll along.

534
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 3: I think it's three.

535
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 2: The j e t s still looking for their first win.

536
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: Jets Jets, Jets at home against Carolina, who showed some life. Yeah,

537
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: Carolina one and a half point favorite at MetLife.

538
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 3: Carolina can run the ball, and I think that's playing.

539
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: I just don't know where they have more like three

540
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: and a half four and a half for Carolina.

541
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: I just don't where the Jets offense comes from. I

542
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: mean they don't have much in the way a playmaker.

543
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: I completely agree with you. And it feels like it's

544
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: I was gonna say it's getting early late in New York,

545
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: but it's already it's late. It's already late. I mean

546
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: they're already toast. Yeah, I think Carolina, Hey man, they're

547
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: three and three. They've got everything to play for. Legitimately,

548
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: I don't trust them.

549
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 3: They're very up and down same but I don't trust

550
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 3: I'm not betting on the Jets.

551
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: At least one of these teams has something to play

552
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: for and a real opportunity into the four o'clock slate

553
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: of games here four five Mile High Stadium. The Broncos,

554
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 2: the Yonkos is Myron Cope would have said, host the

555
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 2: suddenly feeling much better about themselves. New York Giants Denver,

556
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 2: this is another chunky one Matt seven and a half

557
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: point favorite at home.

558
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 3: I think it's too big a number. That is a

559
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 3: big number because I'm not sold on the Giants. Everyone

560
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 3: knows my Scatabu and art take, you know, and I

561
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 3: love Denver's defense, but Denver's offense is not really clicking

562
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 3: right now.

563
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: Bow Next is doing the sophomore slump thing.

564
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Giants have ay line. I just think it's close.

565
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 3: Denver wins at home over a touchdown. Give me, give

566
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: me seven and a half.

567
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: I'll take New York plus seven and a half as well.

568
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: If that's five and a half, six and a half,

569
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 2: but over a touchdown, I want the points. Charger. Maybe

570
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 2: this is the other one that you think the wrong

571
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: team's favored. This is for Steelers fans. I think the

572
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: kind of the much must watch game of the weekend

573
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 2: because it's too important foes in the AFC, and it's

574
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: two teams that you have on the schedule here in

575
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: the next three weeks real soon. Yeah, the Colts go

576
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 2: to LA to play the charge is at four h five,

577
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: Chargers one and a half point favorite.

578
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: It's one of the three. I don't quite understand why

579
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: the Chargers.

580
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 2: They're just getting the home bump, but.

581
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 3: It will probably be forty Colts fans correct. I don't

582
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 3: know how well that organization travels. But you can get

583
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 3: tickets pretty cheap for that game. Always.

584
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: You can get tickets for that game as low as

585
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 2: just thirty two dollars.

586
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 3: Wow, that's insane.

587
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: Which is the the Colt bet second lowest of the

588
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: week other than Cleveland Miamis really and this is a

589
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: good game, Yes it is, Yes it is.

590
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 3: I think Colts are a better team.

591
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 2: I do too. This does feel like a hardboss spot though, Man,

592
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: a little bit.

593
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: Like, what's Vegas? No, I mean these three games where

594
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 3: I'm like the spread's wrong. That's basically saying I know

595
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 3: more than Vegas. I know that I do not.

596
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna I think I'm gonna lay them

597
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: With the Chargers, I just feel like a weird harball.

598
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: They grind it out, they find a way to frustrate

599
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: the Colts, and finally something doesn't go INDI's way, you.

600
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 3: Know, and they might be due for one of those

601
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 3: might be due for of.

602
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 2: Those type games. Another fun one here at four twenty

603
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: five could be fun just because I think it'll be

604
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: wild and crazy. Dallas hosting Washington, and I think a

605
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 2: ton of points, a ton of points in this one.

606
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 2: You can see some good quarterback play. Yeah, Dallas a

607
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: point and a half favorite at home against the Commanders.

608
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't quite know why they're the favorite either.

609
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 2: That one's surprising. I mean, I don't think either of

610
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: us are crazy high on the Commanders, but I definitely

611
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: like them more than I do Dallas.

612
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 3: I think Seedee Lamb comes back. McLaurin doesn't. But to me,

613
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 3: and this is true for every Cowboy game, a lot

614
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 3: of points. I mean, the defense is hideous, and Dak

615
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 3: with Lamb and Pickens, they're really playing well. But Dallas's

616
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: run defense is especially bad. I mean, Rico dal Dall's

617
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: running for two hundred on them, and Washington's probably the

618
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 3: best rushing offense, very good. Yeah, I'll take them.

619
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: I think that you're right. I think Washington controls the ball,

620
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: controls the clock, keeps that Cowboys offense off the field.

621
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 2: I like Washington plus one and a half.

622
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 3: Now say you're gonna points too, the better teams getting

623
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: point one.

624
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 2: Hundred percent, Yeah, one hundred percent. And I know it's

625
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: on the road, but the Jerry World's another one of

626
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: those places away fans always show up there.

627
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know, is it really that

628
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 3: hard a place to play?

629
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 2: I'll think so.

630
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: It doesn't seem that way ever, to not as.

631
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: It should, not as it should be being one of

632
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: the I think it's not like going to Pittsburgh or

633
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: going to Lambeau or going to San Francisco like these

634
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 2: other flat ship organizations across the league.

635
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 3: I just feel like their fans get can turn on

636
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: the Cowboys at times too.

637
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 2: For sure. For sure, Arizona at home at four twenty

638
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: five against the Packers. The Steelers next opponent in Glendale.

639
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 2: Green Bay six and a half point road favorites.

640
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 3: I don't feel strong, but I'm gonna take the Packers.

641
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 3: I'mmemver a hard time getting behind Arizona at the moment.

642
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 3: I don't know what they're good at.

643
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: They're another one who's like managed to keep it close.

644
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: They took the Colts down to the wire last week.

645
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 3: But green Bay's not blowing anybody out.

646
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 2: But I'm waiting, like I've been waiting for green Bay

647
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: to have one of those. Here they are again performances

648
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: like they did the first two weeks when we were

649
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: all like, this might be the best team in the

650
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: NFL right now.

651
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: I keep saying that too, and it doesn't happen.

652
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 2: So maybe three straight games and.

653
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, you know I'm gonna take green Bay. But

654
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: that's one of my least favorite bets of the week.

655
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: If I had to put money on it, I.

656
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: Think I'm with you on that. I I just I

657
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: think Arizona is due for another kind of lopsided loss.

658
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: I think green Bay's due for putting in the type

659
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: of performance that we know that they're capable of. Last

660
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: one Sunday night. This is a big one in the NFC,

661
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 2: you know, potentially wild card race. San Francisco at home

662
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: hosts the Atlanta Falcons. Feeling good about themselves after a

663
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: big Monday night win against Buffalo, they go across the

664
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: country to Santa Clara, where the Niners are two and

665
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: a half point favorites on Sunday night.

666
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 3: Fil That's another one. I don't think the right team's favored.

667
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: I mean, no Bosa, no Warner, it's really young defense.

668
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 3: Jean Robinson is playing player in the NFL right now. Yeah,

669
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess Chase put Dang made it, made

670
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 3: a nice point. But Atlanta's defense is really good. All

671
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 3: of a sudden, they rushed the passer. They're aggressive. I

672
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 3: haven't said that my whole life, almost but I'm convinced

673
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: that they made a step on defense. Kittle comes back,

674
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 3: which is way necessary for them, but they're light on weapons.

675
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 3: They don't run the ball very well. Tough road trip,

676
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, but I'm gonna take points and

677
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 3: I think Atlanta wins.

678
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: I if this was just a pick them, I think

679
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: I would take Atlanta. I think they're in a better

680
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: spot right now than San Francisco. I think San Francisco

681
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: is teetering on that edge of they could easily like

682
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 2: lose four out of five games and all of a sudden,

683
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: they're they're like they're like.

684
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: Held together with duct tape exactly, you know, right.

685
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: They're like a big crack in the foundation that you

686
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 2: just slapped the piece of duct tape over it.

687
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 3: And Shanahan's good duct tape.

688
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that too. That's the last couple of Thursday

689
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: night football games have been very weird in that regard.

690
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this. Steelers were like

691
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 2: a five and a half point favorite and lost, Eagles

692
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: six and a half point favorite and lost in Cincinnati.

693
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: Eagles last week were a seven and a half point

694
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: favorite lost to the Giants. Rams were at eight and

695
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: a half point favorite the week before and lost. So

696
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 2: it's been eight and a half, seven and a half,

697
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: six and a half point favorites that have lost on

698
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: Thursday Night three. Not to seek comfort, but that weird

699
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: things happens on. There's a reason that Mike Tomlin really

700
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: hates Thursday night games. It's not just because his record

701
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: in those games is less than sparkling. But yeah, I'm gonna.

702
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna. I'm gonna take the Falcons here as well

703
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: to plus the points. I think they're in a good

704
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 2: spot right now. I do.

705
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 3: We'll do the Monday nighters, Monday, Monday Nights, Monday.

706
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: You righty for a quick Saturday rundown for everybody in college.

707
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: Some games for you to keep an eye on. Number

708
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: ten LSU goes to Well. I didn't think about this

709
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: now two games in Nashville this weekend with LSU there

710
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: on Saturday against Vanderbilt and then Tennessee hosting number ten

711
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: LSU five and one. Nuss Meyer. Of course, one of

712
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: those quarterbacks we talked about Vanderbilt five and one could

713
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: be the season of an absolute lifetime for Vanderbilt. Diego Piava,

714
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: their quarterback, not really a pro prospect, but he's one

715
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: of these seven year college guys who's a really good

716
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: college Go call. You're ready for this stat Matt, that's

717
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: gonna blow your mind. Vanderbilt is favored in this game

718
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: by two and a half points. It is the first

719
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: time Vanderbilt has been favored in an SEC game since

720
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy eight. Mean, Joe Green was still on the Steelers.

721
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: Steelers had two Super Bowls at that point, they were

722
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 2: about to get three and four, but they had two.

723
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: It's the first time they could have a home game

724
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 3: against a not so great.

725
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: Like against the Mississippi State or something.

726
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 3: J Cutler at least had like an NFL quarterback.

727
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: They had James Franklin and they were winning like eight games.

728
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah before That's how James Franklin got the Penn State job.

729
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: It was just by going eight and four every year

730
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: at Vanderbilt, which is like, as what's the same guy

731
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: who's going Vanderbilt Matt first time since nineteen seventy eight

732
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 2: that Vanderbilt has been favored in an SEC game. Two

733
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: fun quarterbacks to watch in that one. USC's at Notre Dame.

734
00:32:59,000 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: Great rivalry.

735
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 3: A lot of people keep asking about the USC quarterback.

736
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 2: He is really coming on for me, Miyava. He's one

737
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 2: of the guys that was barely on my radar when

738
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 2: this season started, and he's probably in my top five

739
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: right now. Again, we'll do plenty of that net. We'll

740
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: really do a beefy segment or two on all these

741
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 2: guys next week against Notre Dame, who after losing their

742
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: first two games of the season in kind of like

743
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 2: close nail bider fashion to Texas A and M and

744
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 2: Miami to top five teams. Notre Dame has now looked

745
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: very good their last four games. The game is in

746
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: South Bend. The Irish are nine and a half point favorites.

747
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 2: That's a little rich for my blood, but I'm very

748
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: excited to see historic rivalry. I'm very excited to see

749
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: how Miava does going into an environment like that as

750
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 2: an underdog like that on the road. That's one for

751
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 2: me to watch on Saturday.

752
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 3: Set to watch more Miava. A lot of people were

753
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 3: seeming to.

754
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: Be I'm liking him a lot, as I'm like in

755
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 2: Trinidad Chamberliss, who have mentioned to you a couple of times.

756
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: He's the old miss guy who just tore up the

757
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 2: Vision two last year, won a national championship. Now he's

758
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: an old miss with Lane Kiffin. They're six and oh

759
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: number five in the country going to Georgia, number nine

760
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 2: in the country.

761
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 3: That's probably the best game of the week.

762
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: I'm a little biased because I want to watch the

763
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 2: Holy War BYU and Utah just for like rivalry, but

764
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: this is a top ten matches.

765
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 3: Will probably get the most eyeballs.

766
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 2: College game day game. I want to see how Chambliss

767
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: does in an environment like that in Athens against Kirby

768
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 2: Smarts Georgia defense. This is the biggest test of his career.

769
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 3: He may really get on the radar if.

770
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: He has a good performance here. Absolutely interesting, Absolutely a

771
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 2: couple more for you. Tennessee is in Alabama number eleven

772
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 2: verse number six. Ty Simpson, the Alabama quarterback, another one

773
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 2: of these guys that he's I think the top five,

774
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 2: the top three is we've talked about I think are

775
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 2: pretty ironclad, and Sellers More and Mendoza.

776
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 3: Whatever order you like.

777
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 2: But right after that, I'm starting to think it's that

778
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: Miava and Simpson are separating themselves a little bit from

779
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: the rest of the pack.

780
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 3: This is more of a next week conversation, but it

781
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: does worry me that they don't have a lot experience.

782
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 2: They don't you know a lot of these guys.

783
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 3: I wish they more.

784
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 2: Start Dante more, Chamberliss, Miava, Simpson have like less than

785
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: ten starts in their collegiate. Sellers has a good amount,

786
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: Mendoza has a good amount, Matier has a good amount.

787
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 2: But yeah, Bama, Tennessee and Alabama, you know, six ranked

788
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: team against eleventh ranked team. Excited to see how Ty

789
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: Simpson handles that at home. Two more quickies for you.

790
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: Texas Tech goes to Arizona State. Texas Tech is number

791
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 2: seven in the country. They're six and zero. I think

792
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: they have the best defense in the country. Not in

793
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 2: the SEC really, okay.

794
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 3: I know they have an ad rusher is supposed to

795
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 3: be high pick and they.

796
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: A big thing. A big stat that I like for

797
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: college football is stop rate. Because there's so many drives,

798
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: there's so many points in college how often do you

799
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: force a turnover, turnover on downs or just get off

800
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: the field? Texas Tech number one in college football at

801
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 2: like eighty six percent stop rate.

802
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 3: Wow.

803
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 2: Their defense, their defense is very good. They have I

804
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 2: don't know if you know this. They had a couple

805
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 2: young alumni, I mean guys that are probably my age

806
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: in like their thirties and forties, who struck it big

807
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: in some oil thing in Texas and have They have

808
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: the second most expensive roster in college foot the third

809
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 2: most behind like A and M in Ohio State.

810
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 3: Wow.

811
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 2: So they dumped probably forty million dollars into the stadium

812
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: in the offseason and upgrades and they they have a

813
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 2: roster that is like a twenty thirty million dollars roster

814
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 2: right there with Ohio State in Texas A and m

815
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 2: in Texas and Here to Stay might be here to Stay.

816
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 2: I really like their coach, Joey Maguire. I think their

817
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: defense is, like I said, one of the if I

818
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: were to rank my top five college football defenses, they

819
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 2: would be on the list. It'd be like them, Ohio

820
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: State and a couple SEC teams into Arizona State against

821
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 2: Sam Levin. Sam Levan is one of those guys. Now

822
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: he's been injured the last two weeks. We haven't talked

823
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: about him as much, but he's back for this game.

824
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 2: He's one of those He's got some magic to him.

825
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 3: They got a receiver too. It's gonna be high.

826
00:36:58,480 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: They have a receiver that's going to be a high pick.

827
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 2: I really like Arizona States Kenny Deaglish, their head coach.

828
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: I think he's one of these guys that could be

829
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: at a big SEC or Big Ten school in the

830
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 2: next couple of years. Arizona State hosting Texas Tech in

831
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 2: a night game out there. I want to see how

832
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 2: Levitt plays against that Texas Tech defense, because if he

833
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: can carve them up, I'm starting to think he might

834
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: be a first round quarterback as well too. And then

835
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: this one just complete for viewership fun, no quarterbacks or

836
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: anything to watch, but you've got number fifteen BYU hosting

837
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 2: number twenty two Utah in the Holy War. These teams

838
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: are a combined eleven and one really good, both really ranked.

839
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: Last year, Utah kind of got screwed at BYU on

840
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 2: a last second call and lost the game. They're honked

841
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 2: off now going into BYU wanting to get revenge for that.

842
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 2: This is this is going to be like the you

843
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 2: know when Ohio State and Michigan are both really good,

844
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: when Pitt and WVU are both ranked and really good,

845
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: like this is going to be a doesn't happen a

846
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: massive rivalry game. That's going to be a lot of

847
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: school that's so there's your kind of Saturday slate to

848
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 2: keep an eye on as well to a bunch of

849
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 2: those with Steelers quarterback implications. And then one just kind

850
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 2: of that's the night game to the Holy War, So

851
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 2: put the kids to bed and get ready for a

852
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 2: Holy War.

853
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 3: The only thing I can throw in is if the Steelers,

854
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 3: which is very possible, are in the offensive tackle market

855
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 3: Utah as well. Utah has two first rounds, two first

856
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 3: round picks.

857
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, they almost always do. In the trenches, Utah. They

858
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 2: produce studs in both sides of the trenches. And I'm

859
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 2: glad you brought that up, because not really the quarterbacks

860
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: to watch in that one.

861
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're tackles, certainly some offensive linemen.

862
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: We'll wrap this thing up on the other side with

863
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 2: a few of your tweets before we get out of here.

864
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 2: Wesh Uler, Matt Williamson. It's the Drive on Steelers Nation

865
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: Radio on the Steelers Audio Network, your tunes.

866
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

867
00:38:50,320 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

868
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 2: Final segment here on a Friday, final commiserations. I think

869
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 2: we've done a pretty good job of getting through it together.

870
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: It's unfortunate, it's frustrating, it's disappointing. It is, but it

871
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 2: is not the end of the world. You've got some

872
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 2: real opportunities to win some big games coming up here.

873
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 2: You've got a few extra days to lick your wounds.

874
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 2: Let's see how they respond going forward. A couple tweets

875
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 2: here Matt to close us down. Christopher tweets and says,

876
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 2: I know most of the sad discussion today will be

877
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: about the defense, but I need to know what was

878
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: going on with the funk that the offense was in

879
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 2: in the second quarter. I think that's worth a block

880
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 2: of time.

881
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,479
Speaker 3: Great question. Again, I need to watch it again, dig

882
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 3: into the all twenty two. But it sure seemed like

883
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 3: when the whistle blew for the first quarter.

884
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 2: Was doing what they wanted, like a.

885
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,959
Speaker 3: Potion came over the stadium. Like the defense looked bad

886
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: from that point on.

887
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, the offense that was Rogers first turn over, right.

888
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, all of a sudden, like mojo switched a little

889
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 3: bit right after that first quarter.

890
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 2: It was very weird.

891
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 3: I don't have a great answer it was.

892
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 2: I don't either. Again, we'll dig more into a lot

893
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 2: of stuff on Monday when we have time to rewatch

894
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: and and get caught up on some slate. But it's

895
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 2: a good question, Christopher. I'm not sure, man. It's It

896
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: was frustrating, for sure, and it was very odd because

897
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 2: even more so, like the Vikings game was kind of

898
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 2: like this right much more you felt like you were

899
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 2: in the driver's seat for eighty five percent of that one.

900
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: But this it felt like that. And then it switched

901
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 2: very quick, very early.

902
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 3: And then there was a title wave of Bengal went ten.

903
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah like that, I mean it was it was very quick.

904
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 2: All right, you know what, this is good. We need

905
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 2: a little bit of a laugh to get us out

906
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 2: of here. On a day after a loss, Brad tweets

907
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 2: and says, I want to know if Roger Jones will

908
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: get statistical credit for that tackle on Aaron Rodgers. We

909
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 2: spent all this time in this past years arguing about

910
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 2: him left tackle verse right right tackle. Maybe we should

911
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 2: have been considering if we should be on the offensive

912
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 2: or defensive line.

913
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 3: It's good stuff, good stuff.

914
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: That is good stuff, and that's one of those two. Like, hey,

915
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: if Aaron Rodgers ends up getting hurt, there, no one's

916
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 2: laugh No one's laughing about that.

917
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 3: Like, I don't think Rogers has hard feelings.

918
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 2: I think he was rolling at Broderick Jones in the

919
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 2: locker room, but it was probably just like a dude, like,

920
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 2: calm down, I'm forty I'm forty one years old, right,

921
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: take it easy on me here. I don't need to

922
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 2: be being tackled by a three hundred pound guy. But hey,

923
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 2: I guess if you ever get in a pinch and

924
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 2: you need an extra defensive lineman, I guess you know,

925
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 2: Broderick at least has that skill set going for him.

926
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 2: Oh man, mattuh good stuff this week, man, weird weird week. Yeah,

927
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 2: And I mean I guess we'll have a couple more

928
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 2: like Monday night games and quirky things like.

929
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 3: That Sunday night game, which is strange. You know, it

930
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 3: is not for our schedule. You know, they probably land

931
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 3: at six am or something like that.

932
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 2: But I'll be able to go home and get a

933
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,600
