1 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson, 2 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome 3 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: back on Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson. And of course, 4 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: the Steelers play the Browns Monday Night at Hines Field. 5 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: As I mentioned in the previous segment, the Steelers have 6 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: one nineteen consecutive home Monday Night games, and yet the 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: three point three and a half point underdogs in this game. 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: I don't quite understand that. I mean, I can't imagine 9 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: how many times I've said it this week. I think 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: only once here. But if I were broadcasting for the 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: Ravens or Browns right now, I would have the exact 12 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: same tone worries concerns with that football team as I 13 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: do the Steelers. I mean, I think they're all equal. 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: It's not good for any of them. All on the 15 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: same boat right now, doesn't make it okay. It's just 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: all bad for all of them right. In fact, I 17 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: actually saw a line for next week's game as well 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: against the Ravens. The Steelers are six point underdogs in 19 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: that game. I don't get that either, Like the Ravens 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: have lost four games in a row. Just a quick 21 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: ravens Zote. I mean Lamar didn't practice again today. Hardball. 22 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: I have great respect for Hardball as a coach, but 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: I do think he's a bit of a flim flammer 24 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: and likes to, you know, make people think he's playing 25 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: and not. I think they've realized Lamars on playing for 26 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: two weeks now. You know, they might get hunt me back, 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: but boy, they're in trouble in that game, you know. 28 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at some of the numbers on this game, 29 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: and I sent this from to you last night. In 30 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: the last ten games, we know the Steelers have been 31 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: offensively challenged, and they have been. They have averaged twenty 32 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: point seven points per game. Twenty point seven, not seven 33 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: over the last ten games. Steelers the Steelers. Yes, the 34 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: Browns have averaged sixteen point one points per game over 35 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: the last ten games. They've had a couple blow up games, 36 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: that's what at one game against right, like, holy mackerel, 37 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: it's bad. And if you if you look at it, 38 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: they've only been over twenty two points like five times. 39 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: Twenty two is nothing, you know, That's what I mean. 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: The over under in this game forty one, right. I mean, 41 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: I don't think either teams that are run away with it. No, 42 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: I mean I think we know that much for sure. Well, 43 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: here's the thing, So I was looking at Cynthia Freeland, 44 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: I believe had this little number here, Uh, Baker Mayfield, 45 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: when under pressure this season, completest of his passes. Yeah, 46 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: I found some scary ones too. About So while that 47 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: adds up and I'm done excusing him by saying, oh, 48 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: he's been injured and all that, that's that stuff doesn't 49 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: be on the field, I mean bends on. Yeah, I 50 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: mean these guys are you're out there, which has been 51 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: a trend with him forever. Right, he doesn't handle the 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: rush well, he don't say panics, but gets for Neddeick 53 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: in the pocket, can't quite see. Everyone in the world 54 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: knows he wants to run, got out to his right, 55 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: so they shut that door, and he's like somebody who 56 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: doesn't know how to swim being thrown into the deep 57 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: end of the pool very much starts flailing around. Right, 58 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: It's like, this is a problem. And if you don't 59 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: throw him afloat which his float is to run to 60 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: his outside, it's done. Yeah, And so much of it's 61 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: off play action and things like that as well. I'm 62 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: not saying he's a terrible quarterback. He's having a terrible year. 63 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: I've never thought he was a good quarterback though, and 64 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: I think that's coming to fruition in a big way. Yeah. 65 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: I also found this little step which is interesting. We 66 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: talked about this before off the air. So Jarvis Landry 67 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: leads all Brown's receivers and catch percentage. I mean passes 68 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: that have been thrown his way that he has caught. 69 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: His percentage is sixty point nine percent. That's their best 70 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: among their wide receiver People's Jones has caught fifty seven 71 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: point one percent of his passes. Or Chard Higgins is 72 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: at fifty four point eight. Uh So that's their their 73 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: top three guys. Odell was at fifty one. Ray Ray 74 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: mcconos are uncatchable ball. Yeah, I mean there's a trend 75 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: here with the receivers. It's not all them, It's not 76 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: all that Rayram McLeod is at which is what you 77 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: would expect your slot A lot of short throws, all right, 78 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: all right, much like what Landry. Uh. Deante Johnson's at 79 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: sixty three eight percent, Chase Claypool fifty seven point three, 80 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: James Washington point eight, Um the Browns just Bank Mayfield 81 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: can't throw the ball outside the numbers. It's become very 82 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: apparent and everyone knows it. And it doesn't coincide well 83 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: with what they have because they're tight. Ends are good, 84 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: they're running games good. So if I'm putting a lot 85 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: of bodies in the middle of the field to defend 86 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: those things, you'd wish you had a quarterback that can 87 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: hit that out route time and time again against single 88 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: coverage and at they don't complement each other well the 89 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: running pass game. Here's the numbers I found. Just found 90 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,239 Speaker 1: these this morning, so since week ten, it's a pretty 91 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: good stretch. These are Mayfield's numbers on third downs. Completion 92 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: percentage already six percent, really bad, passer rating twenty two 93 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: point one, really bad, yards per attempt five point one, 94 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: really bad. And oh, by the way, his eight interceptions 95 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: are tied for the most in the league since week ten. 96 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: On third downs, get him the third down down. You know, 97 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: Hayden talked about that yesterday when we talked to him. 98 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: He said, look, we got to stop the run on 99 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: first and second down early down success right, get them 100 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: and you get them in a third and five or longer. 101 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: They're cooked. They're cooked. They they don't protect as well 102 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: as they run block. I think a lot of that's 103 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: on him, though, I would take that line any day 104 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: of the week. You know, the receivers don't beat man 105 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: coverage very much. You know, he doesn't throw a well 106 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: outside the numbers. You know, when the world knows he 107 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: has to throw. They don't respect to play action game 108 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: as much. I mean, it's just an avalanche for them, 109 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: and everybody knows it now. Yeah, I mean they've given 110 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: up thirty nine sacks. That's the sixth most in the NFL. 111 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: With the offensive line, they're paying fifty million dollars this year. Yeah, 112 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: you know, they spend a lot of money on this 113 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: offensive line and they don't pass block particularly well. Um so, 114 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: I you know, they have seventeen touchdown passes this year 115 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: as a team, very low one per game, one per game, 116 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: you know, not that end Today's right, It's just it's 117 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: not not great. Oh and by the way, they're kicking 118 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: game stinks. They're seventy two point seven percent of their 119 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: of their kicks field goal attempts this year. With the offense, 120 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: they're always being in a close game, much like the 121 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: Steelers imagine if you didn't have Boss and you had 122 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: one of the worst kickers in the league, it would 123 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: been a lot worse. This is I mean Boswell was 124 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: his worst year, was like that. That was like Boss's 125 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: worse here, right, and they lost games because of it. Well, 126 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: you're seven and eight because your kicker can't make field 127 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: goals consistently. A couple of exces and those things I 128 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: wanted to throw out to just about this game. I 129 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: would imagine it looks like the brown Zo line is 130 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: getting back to health, but not the right tackle. And 131 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: anytime we bring that up, immediately bells go off. That's 132 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,119 Speaker 1: that's gonna be what. And they're tight ends are used 133 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, they're they have more thirteen personnel 134 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: and they in the league. They're gonna live in twelve. 135 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: The receivers aren't good. You know, we know all the 136 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: reasons why, and that can cause problems. But I don't 137 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: even think those three tight ends Hooper, n Joku, Bryant 138 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: helping that right tackle is that big of a help, 139 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, you blocking and one of 140 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,559 Speaker 1: those what with one of those guys best to luck 141 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: Um And then the other thing too is I guess 142 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: Arthur Mallette went on COVID yesterday or today today. I 143 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: don't think that's that big a deal against his team. 144 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: I mean, your slot corners are not gonna be out 145 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: there that much anyway. You can plant them to be 146 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: in three receiver sets. Plus, I think Sutton could bounce 147 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: to the nicol and Weatherspoon's stepped up. So I think 148 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: Mallett has been a good story and I like him. 149 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: I think he might be a keeper and they might 150 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: have found a slot guy. But I don't think it 151 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: matters that much in this game. Well, to your point 152 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: about the offensive line, the Bronze starters the first time 153 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: that they played the Steelers on the offensive line were 154 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: Jack Conklin Geddrick Willis as offensive tackle, Joel Betonio, Wyatt 155 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,119 Speaker 1: Teller eight guard positions, and J. C. Treader at center. 156 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: They had their guys, They had their five guys, right, 157 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: that's a super expensive stud line. And I mean I 158 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: realized Conklin and Willis both got hurt in that game. 159 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: In the game they were playing. Conklin hasn't played since. 160 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: Uh he played for like five snaps. He played a 161 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: little bit, but in that game they had twenty three 162 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: carries for ninety six yards and he said, well that 163 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: was that's pretty good. Uh. Chubb had a twenty one 164 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: yard carry. He had twenty one yard carry on his 165 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: first attempt, his first one, I know it was really early. 166 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: His next fifteen carries he got forty yards on. I 167 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: mentioned in the last segment I did a video with 168 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: Labs and Wolf today on Steelers Live, and Labs was 169 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: talking about and my memory isn't great for these games. 170 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: I mean I didn't exactly remember how the game flow went, 171 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: and Labs laid it out and you were talking off 172 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: the you know, saying they just stopped running the ball 173 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: because they weren't being successful. Steelers had four tackles for 174 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: a loss in that game, um, and a bunch of 175 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: them were on Chubb and they got they put the 176 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: Browns behind the sticks, and then all of a sudden, 177 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: now now Baker has to you know, if it's second 178 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: and eleven, Baker has to throw, yeah, or if it's 179 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: second it see, even if it's second and ten, Baker's 180 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: gotta throw. Do I have faith in the Steelers run defense. 181 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I mean there's no but this is a 182 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: team that you can sell out to stop the running 183 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: to say I mean, but it's at the visional foe 184 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: the second time around. Be the fifth time you've played 185 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: these guys in a very short amount of time. You 186 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: had success doing it earlier. If it was any other year, 187 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, I won't run it all on 188 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: the Steelers. Now, I feel like it could be. It's 189 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: probably the determining factor in the game. But compared to 190 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: some of the recent you know teams that the Steelers 191 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: are played, I think they have a pretty decent shot 192 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: of stopping the run. No, but yeah, don't getting destroyed 193 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: by Chubb and compan here's the other staff from the game. Okay, 194 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: so Chubb had sixteen carries in that game. His his 195 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: yards before contact on sixteen carries was thirty wow. Okay, 196 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: so and that included again right right, There must have 197 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: been a big hole when he got a big chunk credit. 198 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: It was around the end if I remember where he 199 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: went untouched around the end off the races. Yeah, I mean, 200 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: that's gonna be the key is getting some penetration, you know. 201 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's big that warmly looks like 202 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: he's going to be back as well. I assume Bush 203 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: will be back for this one. He hasn't been activated 204 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: yet off the cod but they got time. They got time, 205 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: and new rules probably helped to um Again. I don't 206 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: have extreme faith. I don't necessarily hate Splaine starting in 207 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: this game instead. No, it's a splane type game. Yeah. Yeah, 208 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: it's more of a downhiller, take on guards and you 209 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: know that type of thing. Shoot the gap as he 210 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: did against Clyde Edward Hilaire. And if if Alex Highsmith 211 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: doesn't tackle him off the off the tackle. You showed 212 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: me that because I didn't even notice it on TV, 213 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: Romo and Company didn't mention it, and he was unbelievable. 214 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't like the touchdown run that Clyde Edwards Hilaire 215 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: had against the Steelers. They played that absolutely correctly in 216 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: Splane shoots the gap and has Edwards Hilaire for a 217 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: three yard loss on second I the second one three 218 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: yard loss and as he's as soon as he hits 219 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire, Alex Highsmith comes in and grabs a 220 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: hold of Spillane and tackles him to the ground like 221 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: like his eyes were closed that he thought it right. 222 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: He just grabbed whatever he could grab and it happened 223 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: to be Robert Spillane and pulled him off to pull 224 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: him off the tack and it looked like Edward Clare 225 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: look at that, Look at that contact balance, look at 226 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: that they ran through that tackle. No, it was two 227 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: on one. It was a double agent there. Um, let's 228 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: swim switch to the other side of the ball for 229 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: a minute, because again the week is getting away from 230 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: us here with the holidays and things. I think a 231 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: huge key for me with the Steelers is in this 232 00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: game more than any I want to see high Sir Johnson, Claypool, 233 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: Friar Muth, Harris, Gentry, period and a sentence. I know 234 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: that they're not gonna play a percent of snaps. I 235 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: want Gentry lining up on Garrett's side just about every time, 236 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: and maybe even Harris sidecar to that side too. He 237 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: might find out early in this game if you don't 238 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: need to. And Moore did pretty well against him, I'm 239 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: not gonna ask him to do that again consistently. He 240 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: didn't really want to do that, just begging for problems. 241 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: But I think that keeps you very physical in in 242 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: that twelve personnel because unlike the Browns, they don't have 243 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: a gentry type. I mean, like what I trade Gentry 244 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: for the joking. Yeah, but they're they're different styles of players. 245 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: Gentry is a big blocker that would help a lot 246 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: with Garrett, where the joke is not gonna do much 247 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: against what um. And if you look at the Browns, 248 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: how they allocate their money, how they team build, they 249 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: invest in secondary people like they want to be in dime, 250 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: they want to be a nickel. I'm not gonna let them. 251 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let their lot their big. They're fast. Linebackers 252 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: have to take on Gentry blocks all day long. And 253 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you can't detach Harris and Friarmouth and 254 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: go empty or whatever. But I want two options to 255 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: help with Garrett, Harris and Gentry. I mean fire mouth 256 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: game as well. And I want to stay pretty big 257 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: and and and frankly, I don't want to see Ray 258 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: Ray out there, you know. Nor do I kill three 259 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: birds with one stone, Yeah, nor do I. Matt Candley 260 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: was asked about why so much Ray Ray in that 261 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs, and he said part of it 262 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: was because they didn't have Friarmouth available. That adds up. 263 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: You know, you need that guy who's going to be 264 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: your slot type guy. Well, that would have been Friarmouth. 265 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: And in this game he didn't have him. He didn't 266 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: have him. It were juju. So you know, I've also 267 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: heard frankly what I think is an excuse. Well, we're 268 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: just getting tons of Cover two, and well, teams are 269 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: thrown against Cover two for thirty years. I don't care 270 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: about that, right and drop one in the in the 271 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: honey hoole that grew in use of call. You know 272 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: you can't tight end over the middle works really well 273 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: against would have been useful to I get it. But 274 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: or two has not eliminated the passing game. Or no, 275 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: it's not. It's not. Oh you can't throw. It's there 276 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: Uncover two. We can't throw. We can't throw. We gotta 277 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: dump it down over you can still throw against it. Um. 278 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 1: But in that game I mentioned said yesterday, nag Harris 279 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: at the twenty six, Harris for ninety one yards. If 280 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: you look at his final the final Steeler's final possession 281 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: was Harris right guard for two yards. Uh. Then they 282 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: hit in Roethlisberger hits Seante Johnson for the fifty yard 283 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: gain over the middle. That kind of iced it away. 284 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: Then it was Harris left tackle for minus one yard. 285 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: Harris left tackle for one yard. Um and this is 286 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: when the world knows you're run in You're so he 287 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: was being pretty effective running football, yeah, right right until 288 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: the until that last possession when they know you're trying 289 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: to run that you're trying to eat clock anyway right here, 290 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: just you know, and you're not gonna fight for every 291 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: extra yard. You're gonna value the football those type of things. No, 292 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: I think this team can be run on. I mean, 293 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: I like their front seven, but it's more built for 294 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: the past. On a run. Yeah, I mean it's not right. 295 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if it's if it's Woso Coramoa 296 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: trying to tackle Najia Harris right right, okay and over, 297 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: he's probably gonna run him over a couple of times. 298 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: And their linebackers aren't bangers, They're they're space players. You know. Again, 299 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: it's a good group. They've build a good team. But 300 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: I would take the physicality to them. And that doesn't 301 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: mean I'm taking the ball out of Ben's hands, you know, 302 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: like just because his last game. It's not like we're 303 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: just gonna make it a bend game. You're trying to win. 304 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: You know. I mean, but he's gonna have to make 305 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: throws and I think that his receivers will get open 306 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: a fair amount as well. You know, and again you 307 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: mentioned Garrett. I just for people don't know, he's fighting 308 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: a groin and he hasn't been quite the same lately. 309 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're watching him in the first couple 310 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: of series and he's not real effective getting off the ball, 311 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: that really puts the Browns in a behind. Yeah, they're 312 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: they're all of a sudden in trouble because the Steelers 313 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: coaches are going to see that too. It. Dan Moore 314 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: is going to see that and look I got this, yeah, 315 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: and still chip them and stuff. Maybe he's not the 316 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: best player in the field. That's a big difference. That 317 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: first third down is going to be interesting, yes, it well, 318 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, because he's gonna be coming on that one 319 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: and if he can't, he doesn't have that explosion. You're like, okay, yeah, 320 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: you know that's Labs mentioned over over in that video. 321 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: I keep referencing that. The last thing you want to do. 322 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: You know, he was looking at through Miles Garrett's eyes. 323 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: I want to wreck bends night, you know what I mean. 324 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: And I know Garrett's like a number one villain around here, 325 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's looking at it that way as 326 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: any competitor. What it does mean he's a bad person 327 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: or whatever. But yeah, you don't. What means he's a 328 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: bad person is clubbing Mason Rudolf over the help and 329 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: then lying about it. That's what makes him a bad person. 330 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: Is not super endearing, but great player he could be. 331 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: To me, he's a huge difference in this game, and 332 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: the Brown's running games a huge difference in this game. 333 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: And I know that's kind of rudimentary analysis, but I 334 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: think it's that cut and dry with these guys, it 335 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: really is. That's all. That's what they do. That's that's 336 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: what all they can do, right, I mean, the quarterback 337 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: isn't a difference maker. And they've got some problems too. 338 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: There are two teams that are struggling, but put it. 339 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: They have thirty seven sacks as a team, and Garrett 340 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: has not half of those. But over yeah, you know, 341 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: I get I know that. You know, the Steelers have 342 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: forty three, which is the third most in the NFL, 343 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: and what has seventeen and a half of those, But 344 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: they get other guys. I keep referencing all the other 345 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: shows I'm doing. Was on the air for five different 346 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: shows today and the last one is gonna be Mike 347 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: Pursued an eye with Meryl Hodge, and Pursuit is funny 348 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: as everyone knows and knows how to push Meryl's button, 349 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: and the biggest button to push with Meryl Hodge is 350 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: just mentioned the name Jadeveon Clowney. Boy does he love 351 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: to talk about Clowney And I can't wait for about 352 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: seven twenty tonight because I'm sure first thing Pursuit is 353 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: gonna say to Meryl is, so what do you think 354 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: of Jadeveon Clowney? Meryl, how's he playing? And it's always 355 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: the same. Meryl says, he's got about a really good 356 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: plays and if you just watch his highlight tape, you 357 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: think he's the best player in the world. Takes about 358 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: of the snaps off, and then there's about of the 359 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: snaps where he just does the wrong thing and he 360 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: hits himself in the helmet because he knows he did 361 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: the wrong thing. Like one of Beryl's ever pastimes. Just 362 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: watch every Clowny snap because he says every game is 363 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: the same, it's like that. And when he guesses, right, great, 364 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: he's a very physically blessed human being. But he just 365 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: does the wrong stuff all the time. And then this 366 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: takes half the snaps off. You know, I mean, what 367 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: was it to two off seasons ago? You and I 368 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 1: were like, boy, good luck with that side. I wouldn't 369 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: know that was the biggest waste of money ever when 370 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: Seattle gave him money. And it's the same as the Browns. 371 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: Basically said the same thing when the brown sign him, like, 372 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: good luck with that. He just overpaid for him, right, 373 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: He's disruptive against the run when he wants to be, 374 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: and you know, and just say he's the same guy. Yeah. 375 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: One last thing that I got here, um brand Allen's 376 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: crew calling this game. Uh, they've averaged calling five point 377 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: to one penalties per game on home teams this year, 378 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: which is the third fewest in the NFL. They call 379 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: six point for three penalties on the road team, which 380 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: is seventh most. Okay, so there's a little bit of 381 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: a disparage. The Browns also have been called for holding 382 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: twenty one times this year. That's the sixth most in 383 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: the league. The Steelers by comparison of thirteen. I should 384 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: know this But do you think there's more holds on 385 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: runs than passes. There have to be, because the Browns 386 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: will throw the football heavy run team. You would automatically 387 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: think it's it's opposite. But I think holding gets called 388 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: more on those run plays because I've seen I've seen 389 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: probably five Browns games in their entirety this year. I 390 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: think I've seen why Teller get called for a hold 391 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: on every one of them. I haven't. I didn't look, 392 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: but you know, every game I look. Now, he got 393 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: a penalty called against him last week for a false 394 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: start when the rest of the line fall started and 395 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: he didn't. Yeah, but yeah, I mean every time I 396 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: watched him, I'm like, I know he gets a lot 397 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: of accolades here, but every time I see him, he 398 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: gets a holding penalty on him. He is a big 399 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: maller bear type guy. They try to get him out 400 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: on the edge and all of a sudden he's grabbing 401 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: and they do like to run to the outside a lot, 402 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: and so eyes are gonna you know, Yeah, that surprises 403 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: me a little because Callahan, their offensive line coach, is 404 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: considered a month check level O line coach. You know, 405 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he can't go play for him, he's 406 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: still grabbing and stuff more than they should. But that's 407 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: interesting with the reps too. Yeah, I think that that 408 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: could be something that you know, if you if you 409 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: look at this game and all of a sudden there's 410 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: a penalty that you know, yeah, it hurts the away team, Well, 411 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: that's what this this crew does. And then it could 412 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: be a hold. I mean, it could be a hold. 413 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: It could be if you know, some of that would 414 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: make some sense. You know, you would expect you always 415 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: expect more penalties on the away team than you do 416 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: the home team question, because yes, so be loud people. 417 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: I would expect a very very very loud game. Side note, 418 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: I really hope it doesn't go this way. If the 419 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: Steelers start out in the first half like they have 420 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: and just really poorly, I hope it's not Boo Bird 421 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: Central at halftime and you know that kind of stuff. 422 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: Remember they were down thirteen to three to the Ravens 423 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: at home a couple of weeks ago, and in that game, 424 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: you know, or even the playoff game, they were down 425 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: to the Titanest huge at halftime and came back and 426 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: made it interesting. And you know, so it's kind of 427 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: been their m o this year. Fall behind in the 428 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: first half, you have to keep it. It's they're almost 429 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: like Muhammad Ali ropa doping here. You know, Okay, we're 430 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: gonna dance around a little bit. If it's if it's 431 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: a one score game at the halftime, that's fine. That's 432 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: they've typically won those games over the course of the season. 433 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: If it's been a one score game and half, that 434 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: might be something I want to look up. They've have 435 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: had a one score game at half time. They have 436 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: more points, higher percentage of their points in the fourth 437 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: quarter and second half than anything. Yeah, that one, they've 438 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: scored forty two. I believe that the number is of 439 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: their points in the fourth quarter. The Browns have scored 440 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: twenty seven of their points in the fourth quarter, which 441 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: is lowest and the one is the highest. One is 442 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: the lowest terms. So, folks, is not over yet, you know. 443 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: If it's it's not going well early as it hasn't, 444 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: we don't need to be booing and then firing everybody 445 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: quite yet. You know, have another iron and chill. Don't 446 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: get all that watched the whole game. You're not going 447 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: anywhere Monday night game. It's a holiday weekend. Maybe you're 448 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: not gonna work on Tuesday, people dead beats, But yeah, 449 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: it should be interesting. Um, I mean, unfortunately, we won't 450 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: get together again until Tuesday. Actually, it's it's forty nine 451 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: point five percent of the of the Steelers points have 452 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: been scored in the fourth or four and of Cleveland's 453 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: points have been scoring the fourth, worst and best. Yeah, 454 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: so if it's down seven going to the fourth quarter 455 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: two thousand one, history shows that right where they want them. 456 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: Not quite, folks, but I mean, you get the point, 457 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: you get, you get the idea. Yeah, Um, I would expect. 458 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that COVID will be 459 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: a major factor in this game. It hasn't been. Rules 460 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: have changed things dramatically in the last couple of days. 461 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: It makes it a lot more friendly for players to 462 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: get on the field, and the Browns dealt with their 463 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: spat of it obviously. Yeah, you know, Mollett's we mentioned 464 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: is not a huge loss, although I think he's a 465 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: good play here, but this is a good game for 466 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: him not to be in. Yeah, so you know, we'll 467 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: see You know, you want these games to be decided 468 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: by the players on the field. Um, you know, who's 469 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: the better team getting Steelers beat the Browns fifteen to 470 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: ten in that game earlier this year, which leads me 471 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: back to the original point of our conversation. Why the 472 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: hell are the Browns favored in this football game? Yeah? 473 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: I could see even I mean I could see you 474 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: see it pick him. I can't see being favored. I can't, 475 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: especially by over a field goal three and a half. 476 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: You said the last number one. Maybe it's you know, 477 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: Steeler Nation is down on this team. Maybe they're betting 478 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: against Maybe they're betting against them. I won't think I would. 479 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: I don't get predictions here in about half an hour, 480 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: But I mean I don't expect to blow up more 481 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: than willing to take the points at home. Yes exactly. 482 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: I mean the score I pick will be less than 483 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: three and a half one way or the other. Yeah, exactly, 484 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: without a doubt. But he is Matt Williams and I'm 485 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: Dale Lally. You're listening to the drive here on Steelers 486 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: Nation Radio. We're gonna take another break. When we come back, 487 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: we'll give you our DFS lineup, and we'll give you 488 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: our prediction for Sunday or Monday's game. We'll do that 489 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: right after this boon
