1
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: Tom texted me that we need to tell him when

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: we're done. He's there, he'll stop it. Remember to stay closer.

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: You can tell the difference here in the Yeah, you

4
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: start drifting back, it gets kind of small. And then

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: all right, welcome back. I am Dale Lally. He is

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson. This is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: and Matt. Yesterday I did a story, uh actually into

8
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: today for d K Pittsburgh Sports on the scrambling being

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: back in the Steeler's offense. When I say scrambling, I'm

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: not just talking about the quarterback running the football. I'm

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: talking about the the offensive players also knowing what to

12
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: do on a scramble drill when they breaks down. And

13
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: I had a funny little back of worth with Pat

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: Friarmouth about that yesterday, where you know, I said, uh,

15
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: you know you uh, you guys really didn't do that

16
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: at all last year, Just no, no, not at didn't

17
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: have to worry about it. There wasn't plays the last

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: at three or four or five seven seconds or whatever,

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: you know, running around old day, old time. Ben. You

20
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: know he used to do that a lot. I mean,

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: ex plays as well as anyone that I can remember.

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: And they were great at it, and then we had

23
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: a good conversation there to day about him. It's probably

24
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: what made you think about it was there's an art

25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: to the scramble drill, without a doubt. Yeah, it's not

26
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: just random run around with your head head cut off

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: type of thing. Yeah. And Friar told me that they

28
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: have when they do a scramble drill, there are keys.

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: And I said, it must be rules for guidelines at least. Yeah,

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: there are keys that they all have. Now, he obviously

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: not going to tell me what their keys are and

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: what his what his job is. I understand that, but

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: he said that they do have keys and things to do,

34
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: and you have to you have to watch that. And

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: once you see that quarterback do that, you know, it

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: becomes then this sit suation. Okay, this I see this,

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: This is what I want to do. The interesting thing.

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: I then talked to Levi Wallace about it from the

39
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: defensive side of things, what that does to a defense,

40
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, it's the beginning of a

41
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: new play. Absolutely, he said, it's like going to get

42
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: he's going against Patrick Mahomes. That's one of the ones

43
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: that comes to mind. It's a whole new play. Now

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: you've got to find the closest receiver if you're in zone.

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: If you're in zone, it's a little more challenging because

46
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: you have to turn your head and find who's around you,

47
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: and that creates a little bit of a panic. He said, Man,

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: the man's just cover the guy for a long period

49
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: of time. Uh, that's tough too, obviously. But if you're

50
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: in a zone and all of a sudden, the quarterback

51
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: starts starts scrambling in this field, starts getting shorter, you

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: may or may not be near someone right if you're

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: on the other side of the field, you gotta flow

54
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: to that back. So it's almost like basketball where you

55
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: know the drills that you do where you're moving the

56
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: ball around the outside of the defense and in a

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: zone defense, and everybody has a job to do in

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: that defense. If the quarterbacks in the pocket, it's real easy. Sure, sure,

59
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: absolutely once he starts, once the ball goes to the

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: to the other side of the floor, you know, or

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: in this instance, the field, everything changes. Uh you know,

62
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: and my home is really screw things up because he

63
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: can still attack the whole field, and you know, I mean,

64
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of those type of guys and then

65
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: the other part of his and then the quarterbacks might scramble.

66
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: He might actually run with the still too, you know,

67
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: he said, very challenging. That's why you want mobile quarterbacks.

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: He's like, look, I've covered a ten yard route and

69
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: then it turns into a fifty yard route and I

70
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: turned around and the quarterbacks running with the ball, Like,

71
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: think about that. That's you know a couple of things.

72
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the Friarmouth thing. And then

73
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: I really went to thought stress on the defense. Is

74
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this since we talked about the

75
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: other day. I wonder, I mean, I don't know their

76
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: rules or their keys. He called the keys. I think

77
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: when offensively, but I would think maybe one of them is, hey,

78
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: tight ends, you come back to the line of scrimmage.

79
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: You fast guys, you'd go to the house, you know,

80
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: or certainly, as you mentioned the other if I'm on

81
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: the right hash, don't go to the left sideline, you

82
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, be smart about it, give

83
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: me something and trying not to cluster. You don't want

84
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: three receivers, two receivers all in the same area, or

85
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: you're too easy to cover. It might be as basic

86
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: as that, you know, and some of you are better

87
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: than others. And on defense, the term everyone always uses

88
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: his plaster, you know, which really just means grab the

89
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: closest guy and play man covered as long as you

90
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: possibly can. Because the other thing about is once the

91
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: quarterback leaves the pocket defensive holdings out the window, you

92
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: can get a lot more. You can, you can get grabby.

93
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: It's not gonna get called right right. It's a great point,

94
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: knows that, especially right you just you're you're naturally taught.

95
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: They don't get handsy, don't get handsy. Once that quarterback

96
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: breaks contain, you can get handsy. Yeah, that's great. I

97
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: didn't thought of that angle. That's great to know because

98
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,119
Speaker 1: you know, I always got through where I was looking

99
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: through like a rookie's eyes. So many corners that are

100
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: great in college. Yeah, but he's a little too handsy,

101
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: Jcy Horne. You know, some of these dudes are a

102
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: little too physical. You love to see that. I'd rather

103
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: coach him bring him back than the other way around.

104
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: But he's gonna get some flags, and I'm sure they've

105
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: been coached like crazy. Okay, I gotta keep my hands

106
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: off them except for this instance. Now I can melbo

107
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: on them. Once the quarterback breaks breaks the pocket, you can.

108
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: You can do that, But then you know that other

109
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: problem becomes a guy that actually runs the ball and

110
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: not just a quarterback who's looking. You want to You

111
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: want the perfect storm where you know the quarterback will

112
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: break contain but keep his eyes down the field, but

113
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: he's still willing to run the football. You have some

114
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: guys who do it and they don't want to run

115
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: the football. You have others do it and all they

116
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: want to do is run the football. The guys who

117
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: are the most dangerous are the ones who will run

118
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: but are also looking to pass. Russell Wilson run at

119
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: that point, you know, and you don't want him running

120
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: that dangerous period. But it's interesting to me, and correct

121
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. But Wallace brought up my homes. Yes,

122
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean he's the one I think the scariest. Yeah,

123
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: because he'll he'll run, but he also splipped the ball

124
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: fifty yards over your head too. He's always looking for

125
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: the biggest play possible. But however he can hurt you

126
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: the most. And that was Aaron Rodgers when he was

127
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: in his prime as well, no doubt, no doubt. So

128
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: let's all respect to Tom Brady. I love Tom Brady.

129
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong, He's a phenomenal player.

130
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: But for these reasons, that's why I think Josh Allen

131
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: and my homes are harder to play against. You know,

132
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: there there's immense value to breaking the huddle, looking at

133
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: the defense, known exactly what they're gonna do, saying I'm

134
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna hit Godwin on this lant every time. And Brady's

135
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: the best I've ever seen at or Manning. But boy,

136
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: you have to be an a plus guy in those

137
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: things to keep up with the sheer physicality of a

138
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen or even a Russell Wilson. You know, it's

139
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: just so hard to there's whatever the rules are, this plastering,

140
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: they're great, but you're really just hoping for the play

141
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 1: to hint. All right, that's what that's what you want?

142
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean, covering covering Tyreek Ko for five and a

143
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: half seconds. It's just impossible, right, I mean, I don't

144
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: care who you are, it's just impossible. Uh. Leads me

145
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: to the quarterback rushing totals from last year. So when

146
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: we've we've talked about this and I found it. I

147
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: actually found a little graph here that has all the

148
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: quarterback rushing Yeah you like that? That the leaders in

149
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: rushing yardage from last year. I just want to ask

150
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: you where you think the Steelers will fall in this now?

151
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: Mind you. Ben Roethlisberger last year had five rushing yards

152
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: they had to or thirty second. Yeah he had. Well,

153
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: I think Matt Ryan had less. Wonder if Brady or Ryan.

154
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean there's only a couple of candidates that could

155
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: be few, right, because they ended up as a team.

156
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: They ended up as a team with like fifty eight

157
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: or something like that. Because Rudolph had like fifty three.

158
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger had a long run of eight yards last year.

159
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, and it took wherever ye like, not not

160
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: his uh yeah, back in the back in the day,

161
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: it would have been a twenty yard run in this instance,

162
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: run or Rudolph even you know. So Jalen Hurts led

163
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: the league last year with seven four rush yards. Okay, uh,

164
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean we're not in that neighborhood. But I am

165
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: curious to count down these. Side note, and this is

166
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: kind of a big fantasy thing, is I think a

167
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Kyler Hurts not Alan, but those three could approach

168
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: a thousand. I guess Lance could, maybe Fields could. Jackson

169
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: has already done it, has already done it. It's not

170
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: as uncommon as people think, especially a seventeen game season.

171
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm a little shocked that that's the highest number. Lamar

172
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: had seven sixty seven. He missed five games, so he

173
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: gets to a thousand, he keeps it up. Josh Allen

174
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: had seven sixty three, so those three were by far

175
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: the most of any any quarterback, single quarterback in the league.

176
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: I bet that's the most of Alan's career too. Probably. Yeah. Uh,

177
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: then you had Kyler Murray at free I think he

178
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: also missed. He missed, he missed miss fair amount. Actually, uh,

179
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: justin Fields was okay, he missed, he didn't play the

180
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: full season, true. Patrick Mahomes at three one and he did. Yeah. Um,

181
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll be quite that high. Then I'm

182
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: must screwing up your your exercise here, But I do

183
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: think the leaders next year will be higher than all

184
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: those because the best one unless we get some injuries again,

185
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: right right, which will happen, and that's part of the risk,

186
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: of course. But I think you know a guy like

187
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: justin Field's playing an entire season. A guy like Tree

188
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: Lance playing the entire season makes a difference. Like if

189
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm the Bills, I'm like, hey, Josh, you don't need

190
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: to run quite as much. We just gave you a

191
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: big old contract, you know, and we've got seventeen running

192
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: backs on the roster. You can do it. And I'm

193
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: sure it's what people going, that's great, Lamar, but that's

194
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: why you get hurt. Yeah, right, you know, I get it.

195
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence had three thirty four mm. I think he's

196
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: a better runner than any of the Steeler quarterbacks, and

197
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: as an underrated runner because he's so tall, people don't

198
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: realize how fleet the foot he is and how twitchy

199
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: of an athlete he is. But here's the thing. Four

200
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like much. Is less than twenty yards

201
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: a game? Yeah, yeah, it doesn't seem like much. Like

202
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: I think they can get you twenty yards a game. Yeah.

203
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: So do you think the Steelers And I don't mean

204
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: to get into who's gonna be the quarterback all year

205
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: and all. I mean that's what we've talked about to death.

206
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: Do you think the Steelers collective quarterback rushing is about

207
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: three forty, Yes, sir, Yeah, okay, just because the way

208
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: you laid it out, I would go under because I

209
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: think everyone you mentioned is a better runner than the

210
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: Steelers runners. But we're getting in the neighborhood now, Justin

211
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: have any idea how much Jacksonville designed runs, right, Taylor

212
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: Heineke had three in thirteen yards rushing last year. Yeah,

213
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: he's kind of a chicken with your head cut off

214
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: type and he was a guy that my first reasons

215
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: not open, I'm gonna take off around mclorin's not open. Yeah,

216
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: I kind of throw that one out a little. Not

217
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: that he's a bad athlete. Justin Herbert, now we know

218
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: he had almost a hundred yards rushing against the Steelers.

219
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: He had three in and two for the season. That's

220
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: why that game was at such an outlier. Everybody talked about, well,

221
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's a really good run and he can he

222
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: can't run. He can run, but that's not what he's

223
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: looking to do that in that game, the Steelers were

224
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: playing a lot of man defense, and as soon as

225
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: he saw that and they're sending guys deep, he's taken

226
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: off and there's again you run into that situation that

227
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: Wallace was talking about, where I'm fifty yards down the

228
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: field and the quarterbacks running with the ball and then

229
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: you gotta turn around and sprint back to get him

230
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: and get him on the on the ground. I mean,

231
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: in that situation, I think you give the second year

232
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: quarterback a lot of credit for taking the recognizing that

233
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: its recognizing it doing a time and time again, because

234
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure many of the Steeler fans that were screaming,

235
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: how on earth can you let this big, big guy

236
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: run against you and man coverage, we're also screaming a

237
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, how can you play his own

238
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: against Keenan Allen every step? Because they're really hard to play. Yeah,

239
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean the Ekeler and Mike william And they're a

240
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: brutal offense to play against. And give Herbert credit for

241
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: taking what was there. Daniel Joe has had two. He

242
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: missed a lot of time, He missed a lot of time. Yeah,

243
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: he's an exceptional runner. Tyler Huntley at two, So what

244
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: have Tyler? Tyler plus Lamar and it was over a thousand,

245
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: It was over a thousand. Yeah, So I bet the

246
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: Ravens quarterbacks get to a thousand that's and that's, folks,

247
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: is why the Ravens lead to league in rushing every year.

248
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: It's massive. You're getting a thousand yards from your quarterback.

249
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: I don't care who your running backs are, and there

250
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: they had a myriad of guys in the last year,

251
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,479
Speaker 1: but they're getting a thousand yards out of the quarterbacks.

252
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: One Ravens note I've been mean to bring up now

253
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: for months, though, is the Lamar m VP year, which

254
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: was three years ago. Okay, I will give his his

255
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: backs Gus and Dobbins. They both averaged like six yards

256
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: Dobbins at years Ingram okay, but their backs were very

257
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: high yards per rush because as we saw, they ran

258
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: so much read option and you had to be cognizant

259
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: of jack and tucking the ball and getting to the

260
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: outside that you're not going to crash down like you

261
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: would on a normal run play. My point was going

262
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: to be similar, but I think they really took the

263
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: league by storm, and just nobody had seen that. And

264
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: then everyone went back to the drawing board, especially this division,

265
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: and said, now I have a better idea how to

266
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: cope with this defense. The Steelers played him better than that.

267
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, I would rather Gus Edwards run the football.

268
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: Lamar Jack's right. If you want handed the Gus Gus

269
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: Edwards times half at it. Yeah, and if it's six

270
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: yards to carry that hundred fifty yards of offense, yeah,

271
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: I'll take that. If that's a majority, He's not going

272
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: to break a long one. He's not gonna hurt you

273
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: like Lamar right, right. But I do think that year

274
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: was a bit of him anomaly for the Ravens that

275
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: they're not going to recapture in terms of rushing production.

276
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: Team teams have caught up on to that. Ryan Tanney

277
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: who had to seventy see now I'm thinking the over

278
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: without doubt. I mean Tannehill when he's a former receiver.

279
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: He's a great athlete. He's also old and he's also

280
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: years old. Yeah. Cam Newton, speaking of had to thirty,

281
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: I forgot he played he was. Yeah. The Panthers would

282
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: like to forget that too. Sam Donald had twenty two,

283
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: So the Panthers got four and fifty rushing yards at

284
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback. That's a different story too. They had the

285
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: worst offense in the league, So if you look at

286
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: any metric and Donald had a lot to do with it.

287
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: I think it was just because they were so bad

288
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: on offense. Anyway they could pick up three yards was

289
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: a win for them. Yeah. Uh, Carson Wentz at to fifteen,

290
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson Russell Wilson only one three. He didn't he

291
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: didn't run as much anymore. That's a misnomer. He doesn't

292
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: run much. He protects his body now. Yeah, Trey Lance

293
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: at one sixty eight, Jamis Winston six, Yeah, Taylor Tyrod

294
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: Taylor had one fifty one, and Dak Prescott one. Okay.

295
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: So so if you look at it in rushing yards

296
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: per game, Lamar Jackson average sixty three point nine rushing

297
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: yards per game, which is down his career with but

298
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: that's still average over a thousand yards. Uh. Jalen Hurts

299
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: was at fifty two point three. Okay. I think he'll

300
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: be around that number, if maybe a little less. Josh

301
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: Allen was at forty four point nine, Tyler Huntley was

302
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: at forty two, Justin Fields was at thirty five. I

303
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: thought Lance would be like Kyler Murray was at thirty

304
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: point two, Cam Newton at eight point eight. Trade Lances

305
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: at how many games do they have? Games? Six? So

306
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: he did some in the for two snaps per game.

307
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: The games he played, he was maybe the highest on

308
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: the list. Daniel Jones was twenty seven point one, Tyrod

309
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: Taylor twenty five point two. Jamis Winston was at twenty

310
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: three point seven. Mr Bisky is at least, if not

311
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: he's a better brother than Jameis Winston. So what number

312
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: was Winston on there? He was like tenth or so? Right, Yeah,

313
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's where the gap is for

314
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: me because to me, Daniel Jones, um certainly fields lands,

315
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: they're all better runners than Tribe Ski. Winston isn't, and

316
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: probably the rest of the guys you mentioned to me

317
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: probably will be. Well. Mahomes was twenty two point four

318
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence was nineteen point six. Again, that you're

319
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: getting you know, if you average a round twenty yards

320
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: rushing for game, he might be a little high. But

321
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: that's not crazy. Yeah, you know, I mean that's you know,

322
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: if you if you get two runs for ten yards,

323
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: you know that's there's there's your twenty yards. You run

324
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: it three times, you're probably gonna get twenty yards. The

325
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: other thing about quarterback runs is they don't finish runs.

326
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: They slide. They slide to get out of bounds, whatever

327
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: it is. Here's the other part of this. Matt against

328
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: teams that use quarterback runs a lot. And we've talked

329
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: about this with Lamar Jackson defense, typically you don't see

330
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: as much man to man. The Steelers have seen a

331
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: ton of man to man in the last few years

332
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: because everybody knows the ball is coming out quick. Hasn't

333
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: helped ju Ju's career and you know, things like that.

334
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: Um you know now I mentioned Juji artist for this

335
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, the the Chiefs and the Bill

336
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: saw the mode zone coverage in the league last year

337
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: because their quarterbacks running the football right exactly. Juju is

338
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: a great zone player. That's why the Chiefs got Juju,

339
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: because they know they're not gonna see much man. That's

340
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: how the Ravens operated forever. We're never gonna see man.

341
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spend big money on a man beating receiver.

342
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: Why would I do that. Well, the league's change things

343
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: up with them, and that's why the Ravens at all

344
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: those tight ends, Well what the tight ends do? They

345
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: sit down on the zone right, right right, and Lamar

346
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: like's throw in the middle of the field. You know,

347
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: But the league said, well, let's see if you can

348
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: beat man, and they couldn't. Now they're gonna have to

349
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: prove that. But I think the Steelers because they're gonna

350
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: get more zone and that's why, ipso fact, are you

351
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: starting to see they want to throw the ball down

352
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: the field more because we're gonna see more zones and

353
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: we're there. They're gonna be more openings here if the

354
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: quarterback shows that they can beat beat you running the ball.

355
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: If you come out and play man against us, and

356
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna run these deeper, deeper routes and our quarterback

357
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: can escape the pocket if you pressure him. If there's

358
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: nobody open, you got your your defensive backs of their

359
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: backs turned to the to the quarterback. He's gonna turn

360
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: that what which would have been before, Well Ben just

361
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: throws a quick us you know, three yard pass or

362
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: whatever and you go to the next play. Trabisky is

363
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: gonna turn it into a fifteen yard run right and

364
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: move the chains and give you three more pretty more

365
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: downs and another minute and a half of possession or

366
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: another chance that turns it into a field goal or whatever.

367
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: Um I think there's a method to this entire the

368
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: madness of this entire thing. Yeah, every step of the way.

369
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: There's a big plan in place. There's a master plan

370
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 1: in place. There's not an accident that Trabisky and Pickett

371
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: have similar skills that way. Um, there there definitely was

372
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: a threshold they had the cross in terms of running

373
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: that both do. And I'm not picking on last year's offense,

374
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: but I still believe it was the easiest offense and

375
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: gonna leave the game plan against You know, if we're

376
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: gonna play man, we're gonna crowd the line of scrimmage.

377
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: We know the balls coming out fast. I'm gonna hit

378
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: the NTE in the face the second he catches the ball.

379
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like the line is not great,

380
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: Like that was an easy offense to play again, that's

381
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: why of me, and that that mobility factor, to me

382
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: is why you know everybody's compating. Well, it might be

383
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: worse than it was last year. First of all, we

384
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: don't know that yet, But secondly, it doesn't matter as

385
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: much this year in terms of that because the quarterback

386
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: mobility is a hundred times better than it was last year. No,

387
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: it's a good point. Like I'm sitting here thinking about

388
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: the Niners, like the Niners use a fullback way more

389
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: than any of their team in league, and it's use check.

390
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: And we talked about what a little bit before. I

391
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: guess we didn't get a great view of him as

392
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: an offensive player. But I think what isn't as athletic

393
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: or as good as a receiver as use Check. But

394
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: I don't think he's Tim Lester either or Dan Cryder

395
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: that just runs into things as hard as you can,

396
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, like I think he can catch the ball

397
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: and make a play in space. And when I'm going

398
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: with this is when you're's a fullback on the field,

399
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: you almost always get single high. You know, no one's

400
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: gonna play too high with a fullback on the field,

401
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: So it just defines reads for you like crazy. And

402
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: say what you want about Jimmy. If I can run,

403
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: if if I'm the Niners and I run the ball

404
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: as well as I do, But when I have a

405
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: quarterback and these guys aren't as good at runners as Lance,

406
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 1: I get a whole extra blocker, you know, I mean,

407
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: no matter if I have a fullback on there or not,

408
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: I'm running the ball with a design quarterback run with

409
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: an extra blocker. I mean, that's so key. And I've

410
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: already defined the coverages with my fullback use. I mean,

411
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: so this is what the league does, folks, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah,

412
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting. I think that's just the

413
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: component of the entire package, the quarterback mobility factor that

414
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: people are just for forgetting about, like oh, that doesn't matter.

415
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: I like we've forgotten in Pittsburgh what it's like to

416
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: have a mobile quarterback. I mean, look no further than

417
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: the last game. I mean, Trabinsky's ability to elude pressure

418
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: and make any sort of play early in that game

419
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: was impressive. I mean, there's definitely some quarterbacks on that

420
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 1: list that could do the same, but not everyone in

421
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: the league can do that. But that's the way the

422
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: league wants to play now, that's all. That's what and

423
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: that's why Chrubisky was a second pick in the draft

424
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: because he had those traits. Sure, and you know r

425
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: G three was a great example or Kaepernick where even

426
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: back then it was starting to become you know, Vogue

427
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: Shanahan was great at it that this guy is not ready,

428
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: but boy, he's one of the best athletes on the field.

429
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: I can scheme up, play action, make some of his

430
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: throws easier, and while he learns and either one of

431
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: those guys got to the point where they were Russell

432
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: Wilson and made the turn. While he learns he has

433
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: this trump card in his pocket that can get him

434
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: out of trouble that I can't coach. You know, my

435
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: scheme can't help you know that, and that's key for

436
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: these guys. Um, yeah, you're right. And all of this

437
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: comes back to and I'm sure a lot of people

438
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: are like, well, the old line wasn't so bad, it

439
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't matter. Well, the old lines are terrible across the league.

440
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: Across the league, never forget the theme that d linemen

441
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: are better than old lineman. I think it's one of

442
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: the easiest things to look at an NFL analyst, and

443
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: few bring it up. That's why to me, you know,

444
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: if the offensive line isn't markedly better than it was

445
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: last year, it doesn't matter as much this year. It

446
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 1: doesn't matter as much because you're gonna play differently. I

447
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: adore Tom Brady. He's worked behind an amazing offensive line

448
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: in Tampa. That's why he picked the Bucks. And then

449
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: they go sign Ryan Jensen, you know, like he doesn't

450
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: isn't ly the league in touchdowns or in the m

451
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: v P conversation, playing the Steelers way of football. Yet

452
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: last year it just wouldn't have worked away. You know right,

453
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna take another break. He is Matt Williamson. I

454
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: am Dale. You're listening to the drive here on Steelers

455
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,160
