00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: Good Evening, Steeler Nation. It is the final hour of

4
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: the drive this week before all eyes turned to Sunday

5
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: in Foxborough. Weshuler Matt Williamson with you, and we now

6
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: get to the back half.

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 3: You opened our two with good evening, Yeah, not our one,

00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 3: we had the.

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: Whole Are you trying to wind me up again here? Huh? Fo'

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: not evening?

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: I think five o'clock is okay, and it's going to

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: approve of the move.

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 4: Okay.

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: Fact I thought you were just trying to wind me up.

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: And because again.

16
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: Think I've noticed that twice this week where the opening

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 3: of our two evening good evening.

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: Good evening. And you know what, in the middle of

19
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: July and August, five o'clock doesn't really feel like the.

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 4: Evening, right, But in the dog days of seeier season.

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: It will in a couple of weeks here when it

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: starts getting dark at five o'clock as well too. The

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: only thing I don't like about this upcoming time of

24
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: year is how dark out it gets early. It will

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: certainly feel like.

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 4: You want it's dark.

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's rough, but we'll go with good afternoon for

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: the first hour and good evening for the second hour.

29
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: I meant to ask miss you this. So the weather

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: here has been so unbelievably good.

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: Maybe my favorite September weather wise we've had in my

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: lifetime in western Pennsylvania.

33
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: It's bonkers. Is it supposed to be nice in New England?

34
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: It's supposed to know, She's always on top of that,

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: it's supposed to.

36
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: Be not quite as warm.

37
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 4: But yes, like weather shouldn't be an issue.

38
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be seventy seven degrees

39
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: like it's been here, but it's going to be like

40
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: seventy in sunny. I think sixty eight sunny.

41
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 4: Any weird weather though.

42
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: Now when we land in Dublin Thursday morning, Matt, hope

43
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: you bring your rain jacket. Yeah, bring some non athletic shoes,

44
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like shoes that aren't gonna

45
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: get super soaked, and a good ring.

46
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 5: That's what I've been told rain I wouldn't have thought

47
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 5: of good raincoat.

48
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: And I told you, like we met Greg and Mick,

49
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: the Irish who were out at Saint Vincent out at

50
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: Latrobe with us, and that was the They were like,

51
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: don't wear your trainers all right, don't wear around your

52
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: nikes your trainers, all right, We don't wear those in

53
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: Dublin because it rains all the time. Your feet will

54
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: be soaked. So I don't know if it's boots or

55
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: just like some type of weather proof sho but like

56
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: our typical you know, like Nike's made out of mesh

57
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: that we wear around ninety percent of the time. Be

58
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: sounding like SpongeBob trying to our squid word trying to

59
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: walk around. Yeah, me too. I'm bringing a bigger suitcase

60
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: because I'm gonna have to pack a lot, and because

61
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna want to bring home some.

62
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 4: Souven I'm putting stuff in it too.

63
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: Again, might try and sneak a whole pony keg a

64
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: Guinness into my into my carry on on the way home.

65
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: Matt's been on the block here now the Steelers defense

66
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 2: against this Patriots offense. And I got a feeling, And

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: you're gonna want to talk about your guy Drake may here, certainly.

68
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know what the best approach for

69
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: him is. I don't think it's just keep him in

70
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: the pocket and make him throw and throw. No, I

71
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: don't think that's it at all. But the one thing

72
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: that I've been harping on that I think they need

73
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: to do no matter what and has to become more

74
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: of a staple, is vary their coverages very their looks

75
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: on the back end. I mean, last year they were

76
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: the highest percentage of single high safety in the league,

77
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: and this year they're higher, you know, and you don't

78
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: see the late safety rotations. You're not seeing a very

79
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: real wide variety of coverages that are unorthodox.

80
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: It's a lot of okay, playing cover three or playing cover.

81
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: Three, you know, and execution based and it's a little

82
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: too static for my liking. And with a young quarterback,

83
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: although he's sharp, I think that exemplifies that, you know,

84
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: like you even make it more so to throw a

85
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: lot at him because he hasn't played a lot of

86
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: football at this level.

87
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: You know, absolutely that makes a ton of sense. And

88
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: it is one of those weeks I think you wish

89
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: that you were completely healthy in the secondary with Deshaun

90
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: Elliott and Joey Porter junior guys some stuff.

91
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 4: To do those things at the point, I don't know,

92
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 4: you know.

93
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: But hope what you can do with the personnel that

94
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: you have to confuse and just keep Drake May guessing.

95
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: As you always mentioned, an extra millisecond of patting the ball,

96
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: one extra read, one extra thought, one extra beat is

97
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: huge all the time, but especially against a young quarterback

98
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: who's you know, still in his first dozen or so

99
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: starts in the National Football League.

100
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: You're not doing this against Rogers, you know, You're correct,

101
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 3: much different spectrum and correct we've mentioned too.

102
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 4: I mean, they have to be the top of the league.

103
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: It almost sacks too, and I think that if you

104
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: could just if Darnold could have had the ball three

105
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: more time, you know, three different plays, you may have

106
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: three different sacks.

107
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 4: You know.

108
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: Let's go there. Then Will Campbell, rookie left tackle, More

109
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: Moses veteran right tackle who's been a little banged up

110
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: as well too. He's been on the injury report this week.

111
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: We've talked about those sack numbers, those pressure numbers for

112
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: the Steelers. Well, the pressure has been good, but the

113
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: finish hasn't been there. Right, Big week for TJ. Watt,

114
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: for Nick Herbig for Cam Hayward to finally get home

115
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: and put some of these guys into the turf.

116
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about their tackle super quick. Moses is

117
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: an old school veteran right tackle only.

118
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 4: Big, reliable, yeah.

119
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: You know, reliable, but not real nimble footed. But he's

120
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: been around the block. He knows every trick of the trade.

121
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 3: But Watts is noticeably better. Yeah, I mean, Moses is

122
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: at the the end of his line good career, much

123
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: better than what they played with it right tackle last year.

124
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: Probably the veteran in that room there, see im Alu,

125
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, with a young o line

126
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 3: room with a lot of draft picks and new dudes,

127
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: and I imagine they'll help him as everybody does against Watt.

128
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 3: And they play a lot of extra tight end sets

129
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: so that I'm sure there'll be a tight end to

130
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: that side a lot. I understand why people liked Campbell,

131
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 3: he was the first offensive lineman drafted. I just didn't

132
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: quite see him in that light, like I liked Membo better,

133
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: who went later to say that. And in most years,

134
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: I don't think Campbell is the first tackle off the board,

135
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: Like if he comes out a year earlier, he doesn't

136
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: go ahead of Alt. I'm not even sure he goes

137
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: ahead of Ta you know. I mean, there's a lot

138
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 3: of tackles, and he's good. He's a little short armed,

139
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: he's a very good movement player in the run game.

140
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: They'll get him in space and weaponize them and get

141
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: him downfield and leading screens and smart. But you can

142
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 3: win with power against him. And I'm just thinking this

143
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: through now for the first time. That's not really Herbig's game,

144
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of pass rush. But that doesn't

145
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: mean I want Leal or Sawyer trying it because they're

146
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: bigger and more powerful.

147
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: Herbig's still better pass a little bit.

148
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 3: Maybe with TJ against them, right, I mean, TJ can

149
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: win on TJ usually wins one way, but he can

150
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: win a lot of way, yes, you know, right right,

151
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 3: you know, And maybe you do move him around a

152
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 3: little bit and make Moses deal with her bigs speed.

153
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: I mean, because he's the older, heavier footed guy. Maybe

154
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: make him deal with the two hundred and thirty pounder

155
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: and watt against the rookie.

156
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: I hope that's something.

157
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: Yee.

158
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes makes sense as we kind of are

159
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: discussing it now, because I was.

160
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: Not critical of them for not moving what a lot

161
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: in the Seattle game because the right tackle was the

162
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: weak link. Yes, leave him in his most comfortable spot

163
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: against the bad guy, you know.

164
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: Right, maybe now you move him against the rookie, and.

165
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, just throw them, throw the rookie.

166
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: I mean, just to think if you're the rookie, you

167
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: know at home, I think it's how much of it's

168
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: not their homeowner. But but anither way, it doesn't matter.

169
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: I got a lot on my plate to my third

170
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: NFL start. At least I don't get TJ well maybe right, yeah, right.

171
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: Oh, that would be. That would be I think a

172
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: site for sore eyes, certainly. And then I guess finally,

173
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: let's talk about these, these playmakers, these weapons. Some familiar

174
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: names for Mancha Stevenson, Stefan Diggs, Trevon Henderson and there

175
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: as well too.

176
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 4: Henry's kind of Henry at.

177
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: Tight end, I mean Mac Hollands a familiar name at

178
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: wide receiver two, not.

179
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: Trying to figure out their checking order wide out, like Diggs,

180
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: has been brought along a little slowly, but he's been

181
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: out there the most bout.

182
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: He's the real wide receiver two, as in the number two,

183
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: whereas Mac Collins is kind of the third.

184
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: Matt Collins is a great special teamer. He's like the

185
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 3: better scornic type guy for them that gets you, does

186
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: a lot on teams, physical, come out and block.

187
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 2: He's the goofball who goes right.

188
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 3: He's kind of an oddball special teamer type guy, and

189
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 3: he's more involved in the offense than Scronic. That's what

190
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: I meant by the better version. I mean he's more

191
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 3: of a more of a receiver, more of a receiver,

192
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 3: but he's big and he's tophity blocks. But their receiver room,

193
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 3: I think they're trying to figure out. Yeah, I mean,

194
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 3: they drafted to Williams kid, who hasn't done anything yet,

195
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: but I like them. I doubt this will be the

196
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: week that they throw him on the scene and even

197
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: the running back room. Stevenson's a good player, but they've

198
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: been mixing in Henderson with him on the field. At

199
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: the same time, Gibson hasn't gone away either. He's just

200
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 3: a heightweight, speed guy and he's still dangerous and he's

201
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: a good returner as well. All in all, it's not

202
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 3: a great group of weapons, especially if Diggs ain't what

203
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: he used to be, which doesn't.

204
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 4: Quite look like the case.

205
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: And that's hey, that's a pretty high bar to clear.

206
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: He was at a time one of the best in

207
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: the league.

208
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's not near that at the moment.

209
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: I don't think he's a he's still very good. I

210
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: don't think he's a bona fide number one.

211
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 4: No, no, no no.

212
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: And Henry's just steady, and he's kind of a little

213
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: bit lesser version than like the Heath Miller, you know

214
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like no one getting from him music chains, Yeah,

215
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: and reliable.

216
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 4: But it's not a great group of offensive players.

217
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 2: It's not it's not it's not a group that has

218
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: a glaring amount of weaknesses, but it's not a group that.

219
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 4: Has the stars.

220
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 2: Got a lot of matchups that are going to keep

221
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: you up at night.

222
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: Now if you're worried now, I don't think the defense

223
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: coordinators when they face the anger like, oh man, what

224
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: do we do with that guy?

225
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: Right like next week and we're talking about Justin Jefferson

226
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 4: ohole budget.

227
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: Right right, And Drake May I think could certainly become

228
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: that guy, but he's not there yet at this stage

229
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: of his career.

230
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: And I think he's elevated subpar cast.

231
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: That's one of the reasons I like him so much,

232
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: especially last year, because this is way better than what

233
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: they played with last year in terms of receivers, no lineman, Yes,

234
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: and he still managed to do some things as a rookie.

235
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: So he has shown to get you know, you give

236
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: him not to a great ingredients, it'll make you a

237
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: pretty good meal. So what if you give him good ingredients?

238
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: You know, exactly right, exactly right. So those are some

239
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: of the matchups, some of the specifics that we'll be

240
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: watching for here on Sunday, of course, between and the Steel.

241
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: On another note, Ond, I'm expecting and I think they

242
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: even said this a bumping snap counts for Holcombe.

243
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 4: I would think Peppers makes his debut and I would hope.

244
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: I don't think this has been brought up at least

245
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: to Ta or any of the coaches.

246
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 4: I'd like to see more Ak Walle too is coming

247
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: from you.

248
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: I mean, if they're gonna be running, this is a

249
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 3: downhill run between the tackle, mostly physical, not a lot

250
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: of dancing or not a lot of finesse involved with

251
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 3: their run game. Benton hasn't handled that well.

252
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,479
Speaker 2: Put Bent in a better position.

253
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, or mix him in there just to play him

254
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: as much, you know, keep him fresher and walle hold

255
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: be the nose t.

256
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: A had a lot of good things to say about

257
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: y a Black and continuing to ram up his workload

258
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: this week as well too, So I think we could

259
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: certainly see more of him as well.

260
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: Maybe ten snaps of harmon too. I mean, hold my breath,

261
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: but Missy seemed at a little optimism to the mix.

262
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: I think that the pitch count idea for him could

263
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: be a real one, and that'll certainly be something else

264
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: that we're looking for on Sunday. But that's it for

265
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: your five Star Friday for this week three editions. Steelers

266
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 2: and Patriots. Gonna take a break here. When we come back,

267
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: we will. We'll run the gauntlet, Matt. We'll go through

268
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: all these Week three NFL games, give some thoughts and

269
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: some picks for each one. We'll do that when we return.

270
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: West Shouler and Matt Williamson. It's the Drive on Steelers

271
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 2: Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network, your tunes.

272
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

273
00:12:35,880 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

274
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: Time to go around the league here, a busy week

275
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: three across the NFL. I guess it did kick off

276
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: last night, Matt. We kind of mentioned that, but yeah,

277
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: Buffalo takes down Miami. I think, as everybody expected, not

278
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: a blood bath that we and many hypothesized that it

279
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: could potentially be, but also comfortable for Buffalo thirty one

280
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: to twenty one over the Dolphins.

281
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 4: And some signs of life from Miami.

282
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: Finally, some signs of life from Miami. Maybe too little,

283
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: too late, but they did not, you know, roll over

284
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: and get blown out again like I think we thought

285
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: was certainly possible, like many thought were certainly possible. Tell

286
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: you what, Matt, that Vegas nine times out of ten

287
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: they're on the money. Was ten and a half points

288
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: night Buffalo wins by ten.

289
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 4: I stayed away.

290
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, me as well. Let's take a look at some

291
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: of these other games, as man once again, I know

292
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 2: we've said this the last two weeks too, but there's

293
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: some there's some juicy and er good ones. Yeah, across

294
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: this week three Slate, let's get into it. Speaking of

295
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: teams still looking for their first win, the Cleveland Browns, Matt,

296
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 2: we talked about this gauntlet of a schedule that they

297
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 2: have to open the season. They are at home against

298
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers, seven and a half point underdogs.

299
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 2: Is Cleveland?

300
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I picked the games earlier on a different you know,

301
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: uh format, and I took the Browns kind of reluctantly

302
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 3: with the points because I think their D is played

303
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 3: quite well.

304
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: I think it's just really easy to say Packers the

305
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 4: best team the league. He's the worst teaming league, and

306
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 4: there's a lot of truth to that.

307
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: But green Bay does probably won't have craft Red just

308
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: got hurt. I bet they run the ball a lot

309
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: and play good defense, and they might control the game.

310
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: But seven and a half in Cleveland, I think they're

311
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: just trying to tease you to take green Bay, and

312
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: I'm not going to do it.

313
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: I really like your logic there. I you know, this

314
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: is as I'm double checking here real quick. It's tied

315
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: for the lowest over on of the week with a

316
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: couple with two other.

317
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 4: Games to the cover of seven and a half.

318
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: You know, I think green Bay had such a fever

319
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: pitch start to the season. You open with the Lions,

320
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: you know, reigning division champion, kind of been the bully

321
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 2: of that division for the last couple of years, and

322
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: you just trade for Parsons and you beat those guys comfortably,

323
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: and then you host the Commanders. Thursday night football always

324
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: a big deal in your building a team that was

325
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: in your building a team it was just in the

326
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: NFC Championship game last year, two big highlight them circle

327
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: of matchups for the Packers to start the season, and

328
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: they win both comfortably. They're feeling good about themselves, I'm

329
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: sure rightfully so. And they've had longer to prepare than

330
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: the Browns, you know, and and and lick any potential

331
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: wounds that they had from that Thursday night game. I

332
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: really do like your logic of green Bay wins this,

333
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: but Cleveland keeps it closer than people think. But I'm

334
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: still gonna lay the points with Bay.

335
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: Get it. They're a much better team.

336
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: I do really like your logic, and I think Cleveland's

337
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: defense is good enough to keep it close and make

338
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: it interesting.

339
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 4: That's how the ball has been fine for them.

340
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: But I gotta see it to believe it. I'm gonna

341
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: lean towards the side of green Bay. You'll take the points.

342
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: I'll lay the points.

343
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 4: If it was six, I'd take green Bay.

344
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: No doubt. If it was less than a touchdown, no doubt.

345
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: Tennessee at home, looking for their first win against the

346
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: team who cannot be stopped the offense that just keeps

347
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: on scoring. The Indianapolis Colts a divisional clash there one

348
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: o'clock in Nashville, Indy four and a half point favorites

349
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: on the road.

350
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: I think I'm still going with the Colts. That seems

351
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: like a lot. I mean, if you had told me

352
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: this before we knew the Colts were two and oh.

353
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: But Taylor's making big plays, they got a lot of weapons.

354
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: Jones hasn't hurt them at all and has actually been

355
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: a benefit. I think Tennessee's kind of all over the place.

356
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: Plus that's a really good, diverse defensive coordinator that they

357
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 3: hired from Cincinnati for a guy make a third start.

358
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: I'm liking how this is playing out because I feel

359
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: like too often the last two weeks we've agreed on

360
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: the majority of these. I'm gonna take the points with

361
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: the Titans. I still think Indy could win, but by

362
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: two or three or really close on a last second

363
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: field goal. I just they have been riding such a

364
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: high the last two weeks.

365
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 4: Are they really that good?

366
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: I don't think they're really that good. And maybe, listen,

367
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 2: these guys are professionals, but maybe they're you know, thinking

368
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: their own bleep. Don't stink a little bit there too.

369
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: For the Colts Titans, desperate to you know, not fall

370
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: to oh and three, still looking for that first victory

371
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: feeling of the season.

372
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 4: These seems dread oh three too.

373
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: Dread oh and three. I mean that is like we

374
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: talked a little bit last week about the going oh

375
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 2: and two. Going oh and three is like a you

376
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: know your season is one foot in the grave already

377
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: at that point.

378
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 4: When fake punts and crazy stuff.

379
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna take the plus. If it was tennis,

380
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 2: if it was Indianapolis two and a half, I'd lay him.

381
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: I was a little shocked how big the number one

382
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 2: field goal or more, I'm gonna take those points. With

383
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: the Titans, Minnesota at home, the heck, the last time

384
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: they'll be playing a game state side in September, before

385
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 2: they before they go before they go on the road

386
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 2: here to to Ireland and to London for a couple

387
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: of weeks. The Vikings hosting the now Joe Burrow list

388
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: Bengals at home one o'clock. This feels like another one

389
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: of those Vegas is trying to influence your Vegas is

390
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: trying to maybe trip you up a little bit. Minnesota

391
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 2: only two and a half point favorites. I know they

392
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: lost their quarterbackup quarter I know it's both backup quarterbacks,

393
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 2: but I just I trust the coaching staff. I trust

394
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 2: the roster and the vikings at home. This is one

395
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 2: of those that I would have thought would have been

396
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: closer to four and a half than two and a half.

397
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 4: Right.

398
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: I said the exact same thing like two hours ago.

399
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 3: And Wentz has been around the block. I mean, he

400
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 3: hasn't been in Minnesota long, but there's a chance he's

401
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: better than what McCarthy gave him. I mean, I kind

402
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: of expecting it. I don't know if he's going to

403
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: look like Ben or anything, but there's a chance. And

404
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 3: I'm kind of just betting on awful plays to play

405
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: and flores, you know, just causing a lot of problems

406
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 3: for a backup quarterback. How about this with Wentz, When

407
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 3: he starts this game, he will start six years in

408
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: a row, at least one game for six different teams.

409
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 4: That's really hard to do.

410
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: That's like, that's like Ryan Fitzpatrick type Fit's magic.

411
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 3: Right, And I think two of them were like Week

412
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 3: eighteens when Casey rested Mahomes. Sure, like he wasn't even

413
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: the starter for all that time. Really, since Philly then Indy,

414
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 3: I mean, people have not counted him to be the starter.

415
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 3: But he still has started a game six years in

416
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: a row for six different teams.

417
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 4: That's hard to do that.

418
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: It's hard to do. It's very hard to do. This one,

419
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: to me is one of the easiest decisions of the week.

420
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: I'll lay the two and a half with Minnesota.

421
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I feel pretty good about this one too.

422
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 3: I could see since he spiraling, I don't think there

423
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: are two and no team as we're speaking right now.

424
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 2: And they've lost their captain, their best player, their quarterback,

425
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: their signal caller. Now they got to go on the road,

426
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 2: not a against a probably ticked off Minnesota team as

427
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 2: well too. Not a great spot. Philadelphia hosting the Rams

428
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: one o'clock in Philly, a little divisional round rematch from

429
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: last year.

430
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 4: Another one strong in the playoffs.

431
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: They sure did. This is another one of those West

432
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: Coast team coming across the East Coast for a one

433
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 2: o'clock kickoff. Philadelphia three and a half point favorites, it was.

434
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 4: Under three, I would take the Eagles.

435
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 3: I'm definitely taking the three and a half with a

436
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 3: bet on McVeigh. Stafford's been terrific. The Eagles have a

437
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 3: really good corner in Quinna Mitchell and de Jean's the slot,

438
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: but that second corner is a real problem right now,

439
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 3: and this is like the worst team the league to

440
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: have a second.

441
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 2: So they got two really good wide receivers.

442
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 4: And they pepper them.

443
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 3: Nobody throws the receivers like the Rams, and I just

444
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 3: haven't seen it from the Eagles passing game yet. They'ven

445
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: needed it, but I just haven't seen it. They're gonna

446
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 3: have to do it today, you.

447
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: Know, another one of these. If this was two and

448
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: a half Philadelphia instead of three and a half, I

449
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 2: think I'd lay the points. But I'm with you.

450
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 4: I know.

451
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 2: That it's a tough ask for those West Coast teams

452
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: going across the coast for a one o'clock tick kickoff.

453
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: Philadelphia a very tough place to play, obviously, But I'm

454
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I'm gonna take the three and a

455
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 2: half with Los Angeles because I feel like this feels

456
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: like it's a field goal game regardless. Yeah, so I will.

457
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 2: I will take the points. I'll take the plus three

458
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: and a half with the Rams. I'm with you on

459
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: this one. Tampa Bay feeling good hosting the New York Jets,

460
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: who aren't feeling so good justin fieldsless New York Jets

461
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: as Tampa Bay. That's a one o'clock game down there

462
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: in Tampa. One of the bigger lines of the week, Matt.

463
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: The Bucks are six and a half point favorites.

464
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 3: This is a tough one for me because Taylor is mobile,

465
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: but they are not going to have the design runs

466
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: that they did with Fields, nor would they be as

467
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: effective at it. And I don't want to forget what

468
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: I thought was pretty impressive from the Jets in Week one,

469
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 3: despite them being terrible in Week two, and Tampa sounds

470
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 3: like Abuca won't play but Godwin might.

471
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 4: Now they've got.

472
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: A lot of O line injuries, and I'm still a

473
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 3: believer in the Jets front. You know, Quinn Williams and

474
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 3: those edge guys, and I think Sauce can hang with Evans,

475
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: especially if the other receivers are banged up. I don't

476
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: think they win, but I think they can hang around

477
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 3: short in the game, run the football and stay within

478
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 3: the in the within the spread.

479
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: This is another one that almost feels too good to

480
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: be true. Like the Jets are banged up, they're going

481
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 2: on the road. Yeah, Tampa will win by a touchdown,

482
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: but I don't know. Yeah, Yeah, Tampa's another one of those.

483
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: They win a lot of games, but they win a

484
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: lot of close, one score games. You know, they don't

485
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: typically blow people out. No, either, I don't love it.

486
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lay the points now. I think I'm gonna

487
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 2: take Tampa minus six and a half. If Justin Fields

488
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 2: is healthy, it's a different story. But then again, if

489
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: Justin Field is healthy, this is probably more like a

490
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: four and a half three and a half instead of

491
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: six and a half. If it's in New York, it's

492
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: a different story for me too. You know, this is

493
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 2: this is the first time they're going on the road

494
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 2: with a new coaching staff, and this is a tough

495
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: one to pick. I don't like this. I would stay

496
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: away from you.

497
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, the game, but I lay.

498
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: The points with Tampa and go minus six and a half.

499
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: Washington at home. More quarterback concerns as.

500
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 4: The Daniels is not going to play, is not going to.

501
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 2: Play, as as the Raiders head into town looking off

502
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 2: a terrible performance against the Chargers last week, Washington even

503
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 2: without Daniels two and a half point favorites at home

504
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 2: against Las Vegas.

505
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: They're kind of two teams I was hoping to bet against. Yeah,

506
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 3: I said that happens every week. We're like, man, I'm

507
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: not real big on these teams. I'm betting against them

508
00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: next week, and then they play each other. It's like, eh,

509
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 3: you gotta get genty going. But Bowers doesn't look one

510
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 3: hundred percent. I guess I'll take the home team minus

511
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: two and a half. That was actually three and a

512
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 3: half this morning when it wasn't official yet, and two

513
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: and a half makes more sense when it was three

514
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 3: and a half.

515
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 4: I did take the Raiders two and.

516
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: A half taking the Comies. Yeah, I think I'm gonna

517
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: take the Raiders plus two and a half. I just

518
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll. I think we'll have them ready to go

519
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 2: coming off a really disappointing loss. I'll take the Raiders

520
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: and the points plus two and a half on that one.

521
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 3: Maybe Pete Carroll knows how to travel to one o'clock

522
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: games see Seattle.

523
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's something I was thinking as well too. There, Matt,

524
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: I do like we're on the opposite sides of the

525
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 2: equation a lot more. This week, I'm digging it. Divisional

526
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 2: matchup in the NFC South, the winless Carolina Panthers hosting

527
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons one o'clock in Charlotte. One of the

528
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 2: bigger spreads of the week here two. Despite being on

529
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: the road, the Falcons five and a half point favorites.

530
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 3: This is one of my favorite bets of the week,

531
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 3: and it's on Atlanta. I think Carolina might be the worst.

532
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 4: In the league.

533
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: They might be.

534
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 4: They look really really bad right now.

535
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: And I think Atlanta is on the right upward trajectory.

536
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: I one hundredson agree. Pennex has basically won me over.

537
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 3: Not that I disliked them, but I'm I'm full on

538
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: now with him. Bijon's unbelievable, and I think the defense

539
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: is actually kind of good now, and I haven't said

540
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 3: that in twenty years.

541
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: So that in a long time. I'm with you on that.

542
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: Is that your Survivor Pool pick of the week? Is

543
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: that your team?

544
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: I forget who I took it. I'm trying I did

545
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 4: it really early in the week.

546
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 2: This week, I'm trying to remember who you took. Last week,

547
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: I took New Orleans, you took last week. This upcoming

548
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 2: with this week, you took Seattle.

549
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 4: Yeah at home, we can get that game.

550
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: That's funny. That's the same one that I took it

551
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: as well, to have the same one probably, But I'm

552
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: trying to remember because I didn't write down here in

553
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: my notes. It was not a bad call though, now

554
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 2: I think that was my between Seattle and Atlanta.

555
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 4: Okay, I think Carolina is terrible.

556
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember who you took last week. I'm

557
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: drawn a blank. But I took the Bills last week.

558
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: We're both still alive in that all line. Yeah, well,

559
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 2: if the revisit that and get squared away for next week,

560
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: but we'll both pick Seattle for our survivor poll this week. Yeah,

561
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 2: we'll be in it together. Yeah yeah, yeah, but Atlanta.

562
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: If Atlanta was at home against Carolina, that's an easy

563
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: easy pick for me. But Seattle's at home against New Orleans.

564
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: That I think is the difference.

565
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 4: I don't think Carolina is a hard place to play either.

566
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 2: No, it's certainly not.

567
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 5: No.

568
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: Jacksonville last of the one o'clock slate here Matt Jacksonville

569
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: hosting the surprising zero to two Houston Texans and Jacksonville

570
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: actually a slight favorite, one and a half point favorite

571
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: at home. Could Houston start hoh and three.

572
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 3: That's why I'm not going to pick the Jags, just

573
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: because I think some teams don't like Kansas City is

574
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 3: on known three team. To me, Texans are known three team,

575
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 3: you know, like they're going to figure out a way

576
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: to win this thing.

577
00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 4: I think their.

578
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: Defense is really really good. I'll take I'll take the

579
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 3: Texans to win.

580
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 2: I think so too. I you know, you can already

581
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: see the head the Houston We have a problem headlines

582
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: if they fall to oh and three. And I know

583
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: Jacksonville's coming off a very frustrating loss in Cincinnati two

584
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 2: one that they felt they let get away. But I

585
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 2: just I do not see Houston falling to oh and three.

586
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: I think I think they have the defense. I think

587
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: they have the weapons on offense to get it done

588
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: on the road. And another not very difficult place to

589
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 2: play in Jacksonville. I'll take Houston plus one and a

590
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 2: half there into the four o'clock games, a big one

591
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: in the AFC West early on, the Chargers looking to

592
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: go three and oh and all three of those in

593
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: the division, which would be massive the one in one

594
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: Broncos looking to kind of, you know, stay in lockstep

595
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 2: and stay ahead of the chiefs with the Chargers at

596
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 2: SOFI Stadium in LA. The Chargers two and a half

597
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: point favorites, and.

598
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 3: I would think there'll be plenty of Denver fans there

599
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 3: and all that, and I do think their defense is challenging.

600
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 3: I'm pretty much on board with the Chargers, though I

601
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 3: had some doubts in the offseason that a lot of

602
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 3: that they could have done more in terms of talent acquisition,

603
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: blah blah blah, But they got it pretty figured out

604
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 3: and Herbert's playing MVP like football right now, I'm gonna

605
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 3: take the Chargers.

606
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: Chargers are one of the I think hardest teams to

607
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: bet against right now. Yeah, the way they've played through

608
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 2: the first two weeks, this is one of those. If

609
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: the number was three and a half or four and

610
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: a half, I think i'd take the points for the Broncos,

611
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: but the defense at two and a half, I'll take

612
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 2: the Chargers to win by a field goal. I think

613
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: that's a good number. I'm gonna lean towards the side

614
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: of LA all right. Also in the four o'clock time slot,

615
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: who we just saw last week the biggest spread of

616
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: the weekend, Matt Well, I guess tied with the Browns

617
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: and if you don't include the Thursday Buffalo, Seattle is

618
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 2: a seven and a half point favorite over New Orleans.

619
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: We're both picking them to win for our Survivor pool

620
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: this week. But do they cover?

621
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 4: No? So I don't love that for Survivor.

622
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 3: And come to think of it, I mean, the first

623
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 3: time I've ever done Survivor, and there's like ten of

624
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 3: us in the league.

625
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: So we made a rule everybody gets two.

626
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 2: Entries, so it lasts longer.

627
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it lasts long. Love that.

628
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 3: So I actually did one Packers one Seattle or my

629
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: two eliminators this week, and I had to think through

630
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 3: it since I did it much earlier.

631
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 4: In the week.

632
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: I don't think New Orleans stinks. Everyone of us assumed

633
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: they would and Rattler would be terrible.

634
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 4: They've been oh.

635
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 2: Competitive, they haven't been a pushover.

636
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 4: They haven't been a pushover.

637
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: And Seattle does not have this crazy home field advantage

638
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 3: that people.

639
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: Think they do that they had ten years ago.

640
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 4: You're right, I think it's a low scoring game.

641
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 3: I love Seattle's d I'm not on board of Seattle's

642
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 3: offense still which it's flat out an indictment on how

643
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: the Steelers defense played.

644
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: You know, Seattle to win, New Orleans to cover, I

645
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: think that's safe. This is another if it's minus six

646
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: and a half instead of seven or I like where

647
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: the number. But I think New Orleans has enough to

648
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: keep it within a touchdown. And another team that you

649
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: know doesn't want to fall to h and three and

650
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: is certainly going to be playing with a sense of

651
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 2: urgency and some pride out there at Lumenfield in Seattle

652
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: into the four to twenty five games. Here is those

653
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 2: two start at four to oh five. The four to

654
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 2: twenty five games, the Bears hosting Dallas. Dallas off in

655
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: an emotional overtime win Chicago off of two frustrating losses

656
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 2: back home. Dallas just one and a half point favorites

657
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: in Chicago at Soldier Field.

658
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: I think Dallas's defense is horrendous. I mean, as bad

659
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 3: as they played against Giants. I think you're going to

660
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: see that a lot. Start all your fantasy guys in

661
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: Dallas game because I think Dak's playing phenomenal and they can.

662
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 3: Javonte Williams looks like a fine I expect Pickens roll

663
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: to grow. I just think the Bears are figuring things

664
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 3: out still, especially Caleb Williams. I heard a really good

665
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 3: analysis on him which I think is dead on. He

666
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 3: makes makes a spectacular easy, but the easy look.

667
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 4: Hard, you know.

668
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 3: I mean, he doesn't complete enough of the layups, and

669
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 3: the mechanics are kind of all over the place.

670
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: He's trading freeze from the logo, but he's missing lay up.

671
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly right. He doing trick shots, you know. But

672
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna bet on.

673
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: Dak I am with you. I think listen, say what

674
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: you want about that Dallas defense, but their offense is

675
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: going to score a lot of points.

676
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 4: I think so.

677
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: And I I Am not going to put any faith

678
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 2: in the Chicago Bears until they give me a reason

679
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: to put faith into the Chicago Bears.

680
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 4: Right they could be picking in the top five again.

681
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 4: In the way they're going.

682
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 2: They could be in the quarterback market again. I know

683
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: it's still a little early to say that, but they

684
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: certainly could be. Last one of the four to twenty

685
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: five slate. The Niners back home hosting the Cardinals. The

686
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 2: two and zero Arizona Cardinals San Francisco despite being banged

687
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: up two and a half point favorites.

688
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: I just want points in this game. I think it's

689
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 3: to be very close. I don't know who i'd pick

690
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 3: the win, but I don't have to. I'll just take

691
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 3: the points.

692
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: So you'll take Arizona plus two and a half. Yeah,

693
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go San Francisco plus or minus two and

694
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: a half. I'm gonna lay the points. I think Robert

695
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: sala Is just gonna make a miserable afternoon for Kyler

696
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: Murray and San Francisco will have enough to win by

697
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: three or four.

698
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 3: I think the soul of comment is dead on. I mean,

699
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 3: he's been their saving gray so.

700
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: Far, and I think he's gonna be able to mess

701
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: with Kyler's mind a little bit there at Levi Stadium. Finally,

702
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: on the Sunday slate, you have got the New York Giants,

703
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: I think, encouraging through two games, certainly, but still looking

704
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: to get their first win after a frustrating overtime loss

705
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: to Dallas. You've got the Kansas City Chiefs, also looking

706
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: for their first win after a back to back one

707
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: score losses to the Chargers in Brazil and then at

708
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: home against the Eagles. Last Sunday. One of these teams

709
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: is gonna get their first win on Sunday Night football.

710
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: Kansas City a six and a half point favorite on

711
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: the road.

712
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 4: Giants D line's quite good, but the rest of their

713
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 4: d was really.

714
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 3: Fundamentally unsound in that Dallas madness and starting more and

715
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 3: more to question the Giants' coaching staff. I think Dave

716
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 3: Ball might be a coordinator, not a head guy. I'm

717
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 3: sure that'll be Russell Wilson's best game of the year,

718
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 3: and I definitely think Kansas City wins. You know, they're better,

719
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 3: they're on national TV. This is not a game they

720
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 3: lose to an inferior team. But they don't beat anybody

721
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 3: bad even when they were good, right, you know what

722
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 3: I mean?

723
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: That's a big line.

724
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 2: Last year they were fifteen to two. I think ten

725
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: of those wins were one score games.

726
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think they were below five hundred against

727
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 3: the spread. Everyone just thinks, oh, Chiefs are great. They're

728
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: fifteen and two, They're gonna beat everybody bad. They don't

729
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 3: beat anybody bad.

730
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 2: Right.

731
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: I'm still taking Kansas City, but I don't feel great

732
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 3: about it with that number.

733
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 4: I wish it was like three and a half.

734
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, four and a half, right, right, I mean Kansasity

735
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 3: doesn't make firepower right now, I.

736
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: Think I'm gonna take the Giants plus six and a half.

737
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 5: I totally understand Kansas City to win, certainly, yes, but

738
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 5: I just think at home they'll score some points to

739
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 5: the Giants. Yeah, yeah, I would like this number a

740
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 5: lot more if it was seven or seven and a half.

741
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 4: For a New York You're weird number for this game.

742
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 2: For me, it's a weird, but I just I'm with you.

743
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: I don't think Kansas City has the horses to blow

744
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 2: anybody out this year.

745
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 4: I don't think double digit wins in their future against anybody.

746
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 2: I am with you, and so I wish it was

747
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 2: a touchdown instead of six and a half. But I'll

748
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: take the g men and the points at home on

749
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football. That will do it. For our Week

750
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: three slate, there is a juicy Monday Night football again,

751
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 2: the Lions traveling to Baltimore to take on the Ravens.

752
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: But we'll give our thoughts on that one on Monday,

753
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 2: of course, at the end of our next show. But

754
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 2: before we get out of here, before we close down

755
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: things for this week, of course, Steelers Patriots one o'clock,

756
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, Massachusetts, Steelers one and a half point favorites.

757
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 2: How do Matt and I think it's going to play out.

758
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: We'll get to that to close down the show. On

759
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: the other side, west Yuler, Matt Williamson, It's the Drive

760
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: on Steelers Nation Radio, Steelers Audio Network, your tunes.

761
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

762
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

763
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: Gut check time, Crossroads time for your Pittsburgh Steelers in

764
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 2: this Week three game against the New England Patriots. Matt,

765
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: before we get to thoughts and picks and predictions, we

766
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 2: do have the final Friday injury report for both of

767
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 2: these teams coming across the timeline. For the Patriots, it's

768
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 2: just as simple as we kind of alluded to earlier.

769
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: Christian Gonzalez, Jack Westover and Keon White all questionable. Everybody

770
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 2: else that we talked about yesterday and throughout the week

771
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: full practice participant cleared to go. For the Steelers. It's

772
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: pretty clear cut as well too. You can rule out

773
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 2: Joey Porter, Junior, Sean Elliott, Alex Highsmith, and of course

774
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 2: Max Sharping. Three of those four I think we all knew,

775
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 2: but Joey Porter Junior officially out after not practicing this

776
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:11,959
Speaker 2: whole week. Good news. Derek Harmon full practice participant today

777
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: for the first time. He's listed as questionable.

778
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 4: That sounds like he's gonna play.

779
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 2: But he was limited all week but was a full

780
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: participant today. The best news I think for him in

781
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 2: this process.

782
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: I think you can get him in the mix and

783
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 3: see how it looks and with a pitch count in mind,

784
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 3: but maybe you don't need it.

785
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds sounds like a plan to me, and I

786
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: hope that's the way it plays out.

787
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 4: Nice shot in the arm, Yeah, and then he.

788
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: Gets that experience and that first kind of go at

789
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: it and then hopefully bang full tilt for Dublin and

790
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 2: for the Vikings.

791
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

792
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,479
Speaker 3: And if he couldn't go, I was sitting there thinking, like, Man,

793
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 3: four of your starters that you were counting on the

794
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 3: preseason would be out already. On defense, it.

795
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: Has certainly been way more attrition there than you've wanted

796
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 2: to see. The good news again, though, that I keep

797
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: coming back to, is it seems like Deshaun Elliott and

798
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,879
Speaker 2: Alex high Smith are not long term things. Those guys

799
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: not going on ir and it's always felt like sooner

800
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 2: rather than later for Derek Harmon, Matt Steelers Patriots. Before

801
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: we give our predictions and our picks, you know, I

802
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: like to ask you this, Steelers win, if Steelers lose, if.

803
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 4: Line of scrimmage, line of scrimmage lines.

804
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's a pretty easy really speak

805
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: that way. Yeah, I think it's like, I, I know,

806
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: be shocked at the.

807
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 3: Steeler D line with or without Harmon isn't better than

808
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 3: the Patriot OH line in both phases.

809
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: It's like we talked about with Labs yesterday and I

810
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 2: said that was against Seattle, Like football is a very

811
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 2: complex game. It is, but it's also a very simple game. Yeah,

812
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 2: I mean, and this week I do think it is

813
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 2: as simple as you win. If you win in the

814
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 2: trenches on both sides of the ball, you lose. If

815
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: you lose in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

816
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 4: It's funny, you know.

817
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: Like the Steelers have talked about at a fair amount this

818
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 3: week on about the defense, how their alignments have been

819
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 3: a little off, their communications have been a little off,

820
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 3: and people are probably like, your alignments, dude, if you're

821
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 3: a linebacker or d lineman and you you're six inches

822
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 3: to the right or left or whatever.

823
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: You're shading the wrong side of the field.

824
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. When you talk about it being a complex game,

825
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 3: it's way more complex than I know, let alone what

826
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 3: most people listening know. You sit in the coach's meeting

827
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 3: room and let them talk and it's like wow. Or

828
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: spend a lot of time at the quarterback.

829
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 2: It's like, you put your foot at a forty five

830
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 2: degree angle when it needed to be at a seventy degree.

831
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 4: Right, right right? What are you doing? You know, you're crazy?

832
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 4: You know, right, that kind of thing, that.

833
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers thing that we always talk about. You you

834
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: broke it seven and a half yards, not eight yards.

835
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't have it right. And that's common knowledge.

836
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 3: I mean, that's one oh one that let alone doctorate

837
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 3: level stuff. But you're right, if you don't block and

838
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 3: tackle anybody, it doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter. I've

839
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 3: thought about this more and more and earlier in the week.

840
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 3: I had the Steelers win in twenty three to twenty

841
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna make it even stronger now twenty three seventeen,

842
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 3: with like a late touchdown for the Patriots. I think

843
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 3: Rogers and Hay and all these dudes that have won

844
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 3: a lot of Ramsey and have won a lot of

845
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 3: games are going to take this a little personal and

846
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 3: kind of grab the teammates by the throat and this

847
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 3: is a game we have to win. Business trip. Patriots

848
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 3: get a late touchdown to make it look closer than

849
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 3: it was. And I'm not saying the Steelers will dominate

850
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 3: or all their problems are going away. I hope that's

851
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 3: the conversation we're having Monday, but I'm sure there'll be

852
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 3: things they still have to work on. But man, they

853
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 3: have so many veterans that have won so many games,

854
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 3: and the Patriots just don't.

855
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: I'm not too far off from you twenty one to seventeen.

856
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,240
Speaker 2: The prediction that I have for the Steelers. I don't

857
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: think that we are sitting here Monday thinking that all

858
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 2: of our woes are cured and suddenly, you know, here

859
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: we go. We're about to rattle off a bunch of

860
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 2: wins and right and become one of the best teams

861
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 2: in the AFC.

862
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 3: I wouldn't book reservations for the Super Bowl or anything,

863
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 3: you know, right.

864
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 2: But I think we are feeling much better on this

865
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 2: Monday than we have the last couple. And I think

866
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 2: we are talking about a Steelers team that found a

867
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 2: way to get it done. And I know when you

868
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: say that sometimes it insinuates it's going to be ugly.

869
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 2: It's gonna be like the Jets.

870
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 4: The Jets game for example, right that was finding a

871
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 4: way to get it done.

872
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 2: I think it'll be more buttoned up than that. Like

873
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 2: I you know, it's one of those things. We all

874
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 2: have our dumb things that we say too often as

875
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: radio hosts when you speak for hours and hours a week.

876
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be a mona Lisa mad

877
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be a work of art.

878
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 2: But I also don't think it's gonna be like a, oh,

879
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 2: you were so fortunate to get out of there with

880
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 2: a win.

881
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 4: I think it'll be progress.

882
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 2: It'll be it'll be a B B plus performance progress

883
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 2: against much better than last week, and then all of

884
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 2: a sudden, can we really put it together in Dublin?

885
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: Can we can we really you know, get to October

886
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: feeling feeling substantially better?

887
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm expecting. Wow, they averaged four point one yards

888
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 3: per carry again, Okay, hit a couple of big plays over.

889
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 2: Win the sack differential with the explosive play differential.

890
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 3: Rogers made some throws and didn't make any big mistakes,

891
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 3: and wow, the d line wasn't going backwards all game

892
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 3: and what gets two sacks?

893
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 5: I was like, you know, I want to see three

894
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 5: or four sacks of Drake may m hm. I just

895
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 5: that's something we spent a ton of time talking about

896
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 5: in the offseason.

897
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 2: It hasn't been good enough through two games. Yeah, yeah,

898
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 2: go get after this offensive line that has plenty of opportunity.

899
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 4: To do so. Yeah, And I don't feel super confident

900
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 4: about my prediction, but.

901
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 2: No, I don't either.

902
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 4: You know, Monday could be a.

903
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 3: Long day and I hate thinking that way, but same,

904
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 3: I could write a story for you that'd be very

905
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 3: believable that.

906
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 4: Man, this isn't so good. But I'm going the opposite direction.

907
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 2: I am too. The Steelers have their concerns, The Steelers

908
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 2: have their issues, but I think New England has more

909
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 2: concerns and more issues, and I think that will play out.

910
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: As you mentioned too, the veterans, the experience, the pride,

911
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: the future Hall of famers that the Steelers have kind

912
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 2: of grabbing the rest of the team by the scruff

913
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: and dragging them uh to a to a victory at

914
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: Foxborough Stadium.

915
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 3: I think there's too much leadership and been around the

916
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 3: blockness Rogers, ramsay, hey or what you know.

917
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 2: Hopefully that shines through Sunday at one o'clock. Matt good

918
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 2: stuff this week man. Look forward to hearing you on

919
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 2: the pregame on Sunday. A big thank you to Missy

920
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 2: Matthews for joining us.

921
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 4: Was a tough one. Not forget about that too.

922
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 2: No doubt we'll continue, I think too. I mean we'll

923
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: feel that for the rest of this season, for the

924
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 2: rest of this year, for the rest of it forever.

925
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: But thanks to everybody for helping us get through it again.

926
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 2: You know you you guys are awesome and uh and

927
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: I know Dale Dale's I don't know if it was

928
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: Amy or one of his sons, but they actually took

929
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: to his Twitter account. I don't know if you saw that.

930
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 2: Oh no, no to thank everybody for the outpouring of

931
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 2: support as well too, so I know, I know the

932
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 2: Lolly family has felt that and it hasn't gone unnoticed

933
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 2: and I don't.

934
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 3: Think she'd mind. But Amy was texting my wife and

935
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 3: said she was going back and watching old drives when

936
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 3: Dale and I were in our prime, you know, just

937
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,680
