1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Golds in Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I am Dale LOLLI he is the Matt

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: Williamson and it's time for the Fantasy Football focus. And Matt,

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: we had a major trade.

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's a big deal.

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: It's a big deal. It's a trade. We kind of

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: talked about this yesterday a little bit when we had

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: we talked some wide receiversh DeAndre Hopkins going to the

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs. How do you view Hopkins moving forward

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: as a chief.

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 3: It's a tough one because he ain't what he used

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: to be. He ain't what he used to be, but

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 3: he's got the old man game where he can.

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: You know, he's never been a guy who creates a

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: lot of separation the fastest.

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. And what's interesting, there's a long conversation about this

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 3: today unlocked on Dynasty, and he's unlike anyone they've had

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: there in this era. Yeah, he's unlike anyone really Andy

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: Reid had with the Eagles. He's not Macklin or Jackson

22
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: or any of those type. But I remember just talking

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: with you yesterday or the day before, saying, I feel

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 3: like this offense needs one more playmaker, even if it's

25
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: Travis Atn or James Connor or just give me one

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 3: more guy that makes plays that isn't Kelsey or Mahomes,

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: and so he fits that mold. I'm sure Mahomes will

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: trust him soon to throw him the jump ball stuff. Yeh.

29
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 3: They have to have a plan. I guess the question

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: I brought up to some of the other co hosts

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 3: I was talking to him with, are is he a

32
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: top thirty six guy? Maybe next week? I don't think today,

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: not this week?

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeaheah thirty six yes, because of the quarterback. Yeah, but

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: twenty four I bet I could come up with twenty

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: four games. I'm picking ahead of him.

37
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, do you think he's gonna get a

38
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: lot of volume? Do you think he's always going to

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: be their leading receiver?

40
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: I mean, let's be honest, Travis Kelcey hasn't been no

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: Travis kelce this year.

42
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: No, he's like two good games.

43
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: Mahomes trusts him more than anybody.

44
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: So does it kill juju? I don't think it does.

45
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I think he's the race.

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: You Rice well, I don't think Juju plays this well.

47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: I know this week I'm thinking big picture for the season.

48
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: I'll have to see it first, and I understand how

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: they want to try to utilize him. Yeah, I don't know.

50
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

51
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

52
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: He hasn't done much in Tennessee this year. None of

53
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: the receivers have done much in Tennessee this year.

54
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 3: That's the other thing I've said, too, is I think

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 3: his game gently goes away, you know, like like Larry

56
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 3: at the end. You know what I mean, because that

57
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 3: that type of guy usually fades away slow, but just

58
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: paying attention to him in Tennessee and not breaking down

59
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: every snap. I don't know if he's good or bad anymore.

60
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,559
Speaker 2: I mean, he had the issue coming into the season.

61
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: Right he was injured for a while, then horrendous quarterback

62
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: play and then not using him much and not a

63
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 3: ton of targets, and I just don't know what he

64
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: has left. Yeah, I mean, it's it's unknown. I have

65
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: him in the two redraft leagues and I'm happy I do.

66
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: I wasn't. I didn't prioritize trying to draft him or

67
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: anything like that, but it's like, yeah, he was late

68
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 3: enough that I took him and but I'm not putting

69
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: him in neither lineup.

70
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: I don't blame you, yea, yeah, I don't blame no buys.

71
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: This week unless you're crushed with injury. I think you

72
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: said in wait.

73
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: Well there are some injuries this week, and let's get

74
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: to that. Uh here in the Fantasy Football Focus, Evan

75
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: Ingram with the Jaguars full participant in practice on Wednesday.

76
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: That is good news. Last week he didn't he didn't

77
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: do that. Okay, but Mike Evans did not practice Wednesday.

78
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: He's not playing until after their bye.

79
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: I'm not sure when their by is.

80
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: Eleven he'll be back. That's that's a you're looking about

81
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: a month we were.

82
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: We had a big Cooper Cup discussion too today, believe

83
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: it or not, you know, Steelers came up. I think

84
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: Tampa's got to be in the Cooper Cup market or

85
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: the Christian Kirk market or something like that. I mean,

86
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: I don't think he just punned on the season. I

87
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: think that's a team that could go after a receiver.

88
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis listed as limited on Wednesday with a knee.

89
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: Travis Atm officially limited on Wednesday with a hamstring Okay,

90
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: they played Green Bay. They played green Bay this week.

91
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: They just spent a week and a half in London

92
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: in London, right, No, it's at home. But it's got

93
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: to take a toll. It's got to take a toll.

94
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: It just does. Because you just spent a week in

95
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: that time zone. You know your body is finally adjusted adjusted.

96
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: Now you're coming back. I think the Packers route them

97
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: this week.

98
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: I would think so, and that could be coaching change

99
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: time or who knows.

100
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: Bucky Irving with a toe injury, did not practice on Wednesday.

101
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: Kind of nice to get him out of the way

102
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: if you're own one of the other guys.

103
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: Or you'd like him to take over the role completely

104
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: in the backfield because he looked the best.

105
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: I think he's the best runner.

106
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Diami Brown with an ankle limited on Wednesday.

107
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 3: I wonder would they be in the market for a receiver.

108
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: It's another name I threw out there.

109
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: I think you might be getting ahead of your skis

110
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: thinking yeah, I think, yeah, yeah, they.

111
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: Could do somebody opposite McLaurin.

112
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: Jalen Waddle with a quad limited at practice on Wednesday.

113
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: I own him both leads.

114
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: It's not because he's been running alot right.

115
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: Right, because he's getting overwork and getting the ball too much.

116
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 3: I'm putting him right back in the lineup. I did

117
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: not know that news.

118
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: That's not what you want to hear.

119
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, hopefully that clears up by tomorrow.

120
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Aaron Jones with the hamstring off the injury report

121
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: for Thursday night.

122
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: Football plays tomorrow. Start him in every league. He's like that. Yeah.

123
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: Tyler Huntley with a shoulder sideline to practice on Wednesday

124
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: for the Dolphins to a Tiger vy loa officially limited.

125
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 3: Wednesday, Okay, thank You's it's one of those things.

126
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: They got to see how he reacts to coming back

127
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: from you know.

128
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: The whole process and all that. So it's on a

129
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 3: slam dunk that he plays.

130
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: TJ. Hawkinson with a knee issue, ruled questionable for Thursday

131
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: Night's game.

132
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's questionable.

133
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if you play him on a Thursday.

134
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: I mean, he didn't play last Sunday, so it's not

135
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: like he's but I.

136
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 3: Thought he'd play against his old team last week. Yeah,

137
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: so if it was that close, then he did. I

138
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: always need three more days, you know, Maybe that's it.

139
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 3: I'm kind of expecting them to. Would you put them

140
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: right back in the lineup.

141
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: See in the top twelve probably with the state of

142
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: tight ends overall. Yeah, you probably don't have many better

143
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: at the moment. At least you'll know on Thursday whether

144
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: he's playing or not.

145
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

146
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 2: It's better than a Monday, better than a Monday night day.

147
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

148
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: I mean they're playing the Rams, though, do they really

149
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: need to run TJ. Hawkinson out there to beat the Rods?

150
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: Get I'd get him some work though. Yeah. Nice ten

151
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 3: days to relax after that.

152
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: Jordan Mason with the shoulder injury officially limited on Wednesday.

153
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 3: I bet that lingers. Just every time I hear shoulder

154
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 3: and running back, it just seems good. It ever goes away.

155
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: Jordan Whittington with the shoulder injury ruled out for week

156
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: eighth game.

157
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: He had I think zero targets and got hurt.

158
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: Now they're probably going to get Cooper Cup back for

159
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: this game.

160
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: I assume. But how far way in is the KUA

161
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: he started?

162
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: Well, we haven't gotten to that yet.

163
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: Oh, he's he actually doing something.

164
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: He's listed as questionable for Thursday. Oh wow, I assumed

165
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: he was out for Thursday. I can't imagine they play

166
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: him though. Yeah, they're not going to rush him back.

167
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: They just opened his twenty one day window. He practiced

168
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: on Tuesday for the first time.

169
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: I didn't know any of that. Yeah, I figured he

170
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: was further out than that.

171
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: George Kittle did not practice Wednesday with that foot issue.

172
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: I don't think he plays this week.

173
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: You think it's that bad, Yeah, it could be.

174
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: It's a spring foot.

175
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,280

Speaker 2: Jwan Jennings with the hip a non participant Wednesday.

177
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: Who do they play this week? Somebody good?

00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: Right, Dallas?

179
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: Now many of those guys they could be in trouble.

180
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: Debo will be back, but Jake Moody for them with

181

00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: Wednesday for the Saints.

203
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: He's a sneaky pickup. Could hurt you, but they just

204
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: need I just think he'll throw and run more than

205
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: he used to. Would you?

206
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: Would you start Hawkinson or Taysom Hill Hawk?

207
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

208
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I can come up with twelve tight

209
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: ends that I would start over Taysom Hill. Uh, this week,

210
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: especially with nobody's on a buy all right, Right, there

211
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: have been some guys who've e merged, and you.

212
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 3: Know, so my other league, I've got Ard and he

213
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: was the only one I had on the roster. Waivers

214
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: runs the night and John who's available, Hunter Henry's available.

215
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: I'd go Hunter, Henry and Hill's available. I'd go Hunter, Henry.

216
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: Henry's my first. Yeah, you put in that order, Henry Hill,

217
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: Henry Hill, Henry Hill, and then John new.

218
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't trust John. I don't know if I

219
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: don't know if to throws to him right.

220
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 3: No, I think Henry is at least okay.

221
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: You know, Chris Olave with that concussion return to practice

222
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: limited on Wednesday. Uh so he's at least trending in

223
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: the right direction here.

224
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: Remember the the article you brought up yesterday on ESPN

225
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: they were talking about like Miles Garrett could get traded.

226
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: A Lave was on there. I don't believe they just

227
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 3: they just restructured Kamara too.

228
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: He's young and cheap.

229
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 3: Still, he's still young and chie That's the kind of

230
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 3: got you keep.

231
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially addressed for them. I mean, they're like sixty

232
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: million dollars over the cap next year.

233
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: I know, like you're going to get rid of our contract.

234
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: Veteran guys, not young, cheap guys.

235
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: I can't believe they added two more years of Kamara's contract.

236
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: They had to.

237
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: It opens for next year, you know. But I've got

238
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: a couple tweets about the laws for the Steelers. I'm like,

239
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: that'd be great, but I don't think he's going anywhere.

240
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf not practicing today and unlikely to practice on Thursday.

241
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: I think there's a long issue too.

242
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 2: They'll assess his health on Friday, but it really looks

243
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: like a long shot to play this week for DK Metcalf.

244
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 3: Okay, well, should I pick up a fan.

245
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: Then maybe.

246
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 4: A lot?

247
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: Right?

248
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 2: Yeah? They throw sure remember JSM though for Daily Yes,

Speaker 3: You believe her?

254
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: In key on Coleman, well, if all these other guys

255
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: are heard, I'm saying right.

256
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: Like, he's come off pretty good game. He looked pretty

257
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 3: good doing it. He's almost a first round pound. Kincaid

258
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: had the collar bone issue last week, but was going

259
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 3: to get ramped up more. Of course, I don't think

260
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: Coleman's a terrible guy.

261
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean, Shakira's not hurt, so that might be their three.

262
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 3: Yeah.

263
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, And if he's on the field all the time.

264
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 3: That might remain there three too, Yeah, that might be permanent.

Speaker 2: Deontay Johnson did not practice on Wednesday. That's been an

273
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: every week thing. He's got rib and rest next to

274
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: his name. You think he gets traded, No, because you're

275
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: gonna go at some point, you're gonna go back to

276
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: young and you need somebody for him to throw to.

277
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: Right, they might extend him to who knows.

278
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: Adam Thielen with the hamstring officially limited on Wednesday. Uh,

279
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,800

280
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 2: on I R, so he's on IR right. But obviously

281
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: they've opened his window to.

282
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 3: Return, so they I don't know that he's super fantasy relevant,

283
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: but I would think you'd want to feature Leagette and

284
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: Mingo more considering the state of the team than the super.

285
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 2: Old dude Jatavian Sandy trade. Maybe it wouldn't get much back.

286
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: You wouldn't get much, but you get to help a

287
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: lot of teams. Right, Jatavian Sanders has grown him wrist issues.

288
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: He was limited on Wednesday. He's kind of been Fantasy

289
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: relevant the last couple of weeks.

290
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: You no one, why not play him? Yeah, I mean

291
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: if you're those guys out of him on the field

292
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 3: all the time.

293
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: Well, and there's the news Bryce Young expected to start gate.

294
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 3: You can't start the aute? Right? Does that hurt there?

295
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 3: Does it hurt? Shuba? If you have them?

296
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: It hasn't hurts, It hasn't.

297
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: It hasn't. But boy, I hope he's for his sake,

298
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: he's better than he was. But that was.

299
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently Andy Dalton injured his thumb in that car accident.

300
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: He's got a spring thumb. That's why he's not. So

301
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: this gives him a reason.

302
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: Actually that adds up. Yeah, Like I'm not saying the

303
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: thumb injuries fake fake or anything. And I guess his

304
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 3: family was in the car and all that, and yeah,

305
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: fortunate that they're Okay.

306
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: They didn't you know, David Tepper didn't pay somebody to

307
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: go run in the Andy Dalton's car. Sure, I'm pretty

308
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: sure about that. With his family in the car. No,

309
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 2: that didn't happen, right, Yeah.

310
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: It's like the scar face not going to blow up

311
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: the family.

312
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,680

Speaker 2: He's in his twenty one day practice window.

314
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 3: I think he'd like to get him back. I mean,

315
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: at least see what he's like as an NFL player. Yeah,

316
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 3: that's not their problem though. Running backs not the issue. No,

317
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 3: Juba's run the ball well. Chris Goblin officially two ir

318
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: that was expected. Yeah, Josh Downs with a toe misses

319
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 3: practice on Wednesday, as did Michael Pittman with the back issue.

320
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 3: Their injuries their quarterback, yeah, I mean's they were. They're

321
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 3: so good with Laco. You know, they're perfect for that. Yeah.

322
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: I don't think you can use either one right now.

323
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 3: And their injuries are also hindering them.

324
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know now you can't use those guys. Uh.

325
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 2: Jamison Williams practicing on Wednesday could appeal his suspension.

326
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: Okay, he's just putting off the inevitable. Yeah, sounds like it.

327
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: Uh, let's see here, anybody else Note Dorian Thompson Robinson

328
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: with that finger, he got a jammed finger.

329
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: We already know it's Jamis Winsday they've announced Winston. Yeah,

330
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: ty J.

331
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: Spears with the hamstring, expected to return to practice on Wednesday.

332
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, you could do worse. I mean he's more

333
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: of a bye week type filler. But I like the

334
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: player a lot.

335
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Orlando Brown Junior, Will Ridley get a boost.

336
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: No, I don't think. I don't trust anybody in their passing, right,

337
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: that's the answer I had to Yeah, but I wanted

338
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: to run it by.

339
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: Orlando Brown Junior had left the game on Sunday with

340
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: that knee injury. He expected to practice today. I haven't

341
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: seen any news whether he has or has not.

342
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: But no, that's a big deal. That's they're playing the Browns, right,

343
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 3: they just played the Browns.

344
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: They just play They're playing the Eagles.

345
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: The Eagles. Another good news, a decent path. Yeah, yeah.

346
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph likely to remain the starter. In week eight.

347
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: Will lev was still dealing with that ac spring.

348
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 3: They said it was going to be three or four weeks. Yeah,

349
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: it was just a week ago. So do you rush

350
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 3: Levis back? I got a lot of Titans questions today,

351
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: like what's the state of this team? How do you

352
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 3: what do you do from here? It's not good.

353
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: Nothing good.

354
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: Nothing good.

355
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: The Browns activated Wyatt Teller from my R.

356
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: Okay, it's actually some good news in Cleveland for the

357
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 3: last time in a long time.

358
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: How about this deal between and it's not fantasy relevant,

359
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: but the deal between the Seahawks and the Titans.

360
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: I know, it's kind of strange.

361
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: They swapped inside linebackers, so Ernest Jones, who they traded

362
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: for with the Rams before the season started. They're now

363
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: shipping to the Seahawks for Jerome Baker, who just signed

364
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: a contract this year with the Seahawks.

365
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: And they go fourth round picking the process, Yeah one

366
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: of them? Does. I forget who got the fourth Well,

367
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: it's funny. I was making the joke earlier today. Okay,

368
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 3: I really want someone in the division. Let's money launder

369
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: him with another team, Like, Hey, Jacksonville, why don't you

370
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: trade for T Higgins and then we'll trade for him

371
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: in two weeks Or hey, Buffalo, let's go get Amari

372
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: Cooper off you in two weeks from now.

373
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: You know, that's the thing with like Deontay Johnson. The

374
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: Steelers can't trade for Deontay Johnson.

375
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: Right right, They're not allowed to do that, not allowed

376
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: to do that. That's a kind of a loophole I

377
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: didn't know about till this year. Actually, Yeah, it's just

378
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: trying to strange, right, Yeah, you have.

379
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: To kind of trade somebody, get in the trade. Trade

380
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: him here this week and then we'll trade it for him.

381
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. I can't do that, like leave Davante Adams at

382
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: acting sure on Sunday night. Yeah, so if you lose,

383
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: just leave him here.

384
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: You see the meme out there that the Giants could

385
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: trade for him this week so he could lose to

386
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: the Steelers on three consecutive.

387
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did see that. Yeah.

388
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 4: Uh.

389
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 2: Jerome Ford miss practice uh Wednesday with that hamstringing for

390
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: the Browns.

391
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 3: He's not playing Chubbs us back at this point. Yeah.

392
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers said he's.

393
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 3: Dealing with Chubb gets straighted.

394
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: He looks good hamstring, ankle and knee injuries because he's

395
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 2: got to have an excuse for so horrible last week.

396
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure he'll play, but I wonder if he ever

397
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 3: shuts down at the end point of the year. Maybe.

398
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 3: I just think there's gonna be weirdness going on there.

399
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels with that rib injury not practicing on Wednesday.

400
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: I think they said that was gonna be the case,

401
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 3: like he's gonna be a true game.

402
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: Time to say, yeah, I don't expect him to play

403
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: this week. I watched if you watched when it happened,

404
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 2: and they showed him trying to throw the football, and

405
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: he threw the football and he immediately reached for the ribs,

406
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 2: like you're torquing your whole body there. I would think

407
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: a week would go a long way. Yeah, and especially

408
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: Mariota did good stuff. It depends on is it broken rib?

409
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 3: Is it? Is it acting?

410
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: Is it actually?

411
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: Is it?

412
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: You know, if it's cartilage in there, that can be

413
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 2: even more painful.

414
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 3: They're both very painful. I mean I can't sleep and.

415
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 2: I dealt with that last year the Buffalo game in

416
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I was trapped in my room up.

417
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: There an immense amount of snow.

418
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: Remember we're thirty six consecutive hours, and all I had

419
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 2: to eat was some bagels in a case of beer.

420
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: You got to throw that. I at least planned a head.

421
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm gonna have some snacks of the room,

422
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: bag of chips, some bagels, and a case of beer.

423
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: Because I knew the game got pushed back, and I'm like,

424
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: who knows, you know, didn't expect everything to get shut down.

425
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 2: There was a restaurant right next door that I ate

426
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 2: at before everything got shut down, And then things got

427
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: shut down all day Sunday. I'm stalking, so I walk

428
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: to one of the hotels. But the hotel I was

429
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: staying at near the stadium, there's not much near the stadium,

430
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: didn't have any food in there in the hotel.

431
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 3: It wasn't a vending machine.

432
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 2: The place next door did. So I'm looking on I'm

433
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: looking on their website. I'm like, oh, I see food

434
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: in the lobby. So I take the walk over and

435
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: it wasn't short. It was the reason walk snow was up.

436
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: The snows up to my chest. Yeah. Now the plows

437
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: had gone through, so I was able to go around,

438
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 2: and I get up to the hotel. All they have

439
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: left the potato chips and slim gyms. I'd already have

440
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: potato chips. I didn't want any more potato chips. I'm like,

441
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: I need some meat to give me some protein. Slim gym,

442
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: I guess counts. They did have a candy bar too,

443
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: and I didn't want to get a candy bar, so

444
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: I bought two two of the long slim gyms at

445
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: a hotel. They were not cheap. I start walking back

446
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 2: to my hotel and who up in the air land

447
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 2: on my on my side and drove my my elbow

448
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 2: into my ribs and broke a rib. Broke a rib

449
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: as I laid there on the ground wondering if I

450
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: was going to be able to get because I knocked

451
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: the breath out, and I'm like, yeah, there's nobody else

452
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: outside because the snow's coming down. I'm going to be

453
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: covered in snow within before you.

454
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

455
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: I laid there for about a minute and and I'm like,

456
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: I got to get up.

457
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 3: And I could be here a long time.

458
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: So I got myself up, limp back to the room,

459
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 2: and again I couldn't go anywhere. I didn't have any

460
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 2: tile on all or anything. I'm allergic to aspirin and

461
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 2: all that stuff, so I couldn't. I got nothing that

462
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: I can take, so all night long, I finally got

463
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: myself into bed and got in the right position. Just

464
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: all right, don't move, put pillows beside myself, can't roll over,

465
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: don't do that while you're sleeping. And it was a

466
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 2: good two or three weeks before it felt anything better.

467
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: But like back to Jane, I mean it's great story,

468
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 3: but I mean back to like Jayden Daniels, it's like.

469
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 2: It's hard to recover all week, Yeah, because.

00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: the biggest guy.

00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 3: No, and okay, not a lot of meat on those bones. No.

Speaker 3: I don't know if a player or not. Yeah.

477
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: Now I expect him to be ready to go in

478
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 2: three weeks when they play the Steelers.

479
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,040

Speaker 3: they do or not. They can play against Steelers, yeah,

481
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,600

519
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: this is a team that you don't get to see

520
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 2: a lot of. No, I can't. I wouldn't expect a

521
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: lot of Steeler fans to sit down and watch a

522
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: Giants game from start to finish.

523
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: If there's other ones on. They do get a lot

524
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: of primetime.

525
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: Games, though, they get a lot of primetime games, and

526
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 2: they primetime yeah yeah winless.

527
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: Won yeah, one win Yeah. He's the worst time and

528
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 3: seven on Monday Night, Monday Night. Yeahh I used the

529
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: whole primetime together. And he has the worst winning percentage

530
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 3: in NFL history. Here's all you need to know about

531
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: the Giants getting in the primetime. Daniel Jones is oho

532
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: and seven on Monday Night football.

533
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: Right. Russell Wilson, who's played in the league for thirteen

534
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: years on Super Bowl teams, is eleven and five on

535
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 2: Monday Night Football. He's only played sixteen times on Monday

536
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 2: Night football in his career. Daniel Jones already.

537
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: A seven massive different fan bases obviously, but it's crazy. Yeah,

538
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: And I'm sure there's a lot of peopeople not in

539
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh that aren't thrilled with the Monday night matchup this

540
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 3: way all right, you know, so let's go.

541
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: Let's go through their roster, as we like to do

542
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: here just to give people an idea of what's going

543
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 2: on with this football team.

544
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: There's some good things to their roster, like I was

545
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 3: saying today, like I wouldn't mind being their GM, you

546
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 3: know if I there's some.

547
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 2: Pieces, yeah, just not enough.

548
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 3: Oh that's that's bad. Yeah, and they need things.

549
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is the quarterback and Drew Locke is the

550
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: backup and they both played last week against the Eagles

551
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: because Jones got pulled.

552
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 3: He got pulled and he also got hit.

553
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: A lot, and Locke wasn't any better.

554
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: No, No, he was awful.

555
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: At running back. You got Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy

556
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: with Eric Gray as the number three guy. Gray's noteworthy

557
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 2: because he's a return guy as well. No, Yeah, he's

558
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: lost to fumbles, yes he has.

559
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 3: And has some special teams.

560
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I just know he's lost too.

561
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 2: In general, keep an eye on that. He doesn't he

562
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: doesn't have a lot of touches on offense, and he's

563
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: not been great as a return guy, only averaging what

564
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: is it, twenty twenty five yards per return with along

565
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: of thirty one and he's gotten twelve opportunities.

566
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 3: So teams are gonna real breakaway guys. Teams are kicking

567
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: the ball to them. I think I would too, Yeah,

568
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: especially fumbles.

569
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: I like Tracy though, Yeah, Trada building block, Yeah, not bad.

570
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: The wide receivers Malik Neighbors, Darius Slayton, who we wouldn't

571
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 2: mind having a Paseburg stay in town, and one Del Robinson.

572
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 2: Neighbors and Robinson it's bonkers.

573
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: They get the ball every time.

574
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: They're like second and seventh in total targets this season,

575
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: and Neighbors missed two games and Neighbors miss two games.

576
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: Everything goes. Neighbors is averaging twelve targets per game. Robinson's

577
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: right around ten. They only throw the ball on average

578
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: about thirty five times a game. Right, do the math, folks?

579
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: The ball is going to those two guys.

580
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 3: It's gonna be Beanie, Bishop and Porter are going to

581
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 3: be targeted like crazy. They do it every game. There's

582
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: some crazy stuff. I'm trying to take it up super

583
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: quick here on Robinson.

584
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 2: So he only averages like seven yards of catch.

585
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: That's the thing. He has five games already with nine

586
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 3: or more targets and under seventy five receiving yards five.

587
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 3: No other player is more than three. I mean, his

588
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: four point four point five yards per target is the

589
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 3: lowest mark of sixty nine players with at least thirty targets. Yeah,

590
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 3: you know, like I'd like the player. I mean, you'd

591
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: be a good steeler. I mean he's getting out of

592
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 3: his breaks.

593
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: But he's Josh Down's light light.

594
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, he's based on a light light, you know.

595
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he's just pure slot. He's quick, but

596
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 3: then he gets tackled easy.

597
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, goes down quickly behind them. He got Jalen Hyatt,

598
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 2: who's a speedster, Bryce Ford, Wheaton, Emir Smith, Marsette, Gonner

599
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: Olschwsky's on Ir.

600
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 3: It's not a bad group of receivers. It has been before. Neighbors, yeah,

601
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 3: but now they all bump down the spot.

602
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: It's not bad tight end it's Theo Johnson, Chris Manherts,

603
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 2: Daniel Bellinger, one of the worst rooms. Yeah, and the

604
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: Steeler's been really good against tight ends this year. The

605
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: offensive line. Yeah, at left tackle last week because Andrew

606
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: Thomas went on ir.

607
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 3: Who's easily everything right, that destroyed everything.

608
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 2: Josh is ze dou He played like three NFL snaps

609
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 2: before last week and it was really bad. Oh yeah, uh,

610
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 2: John Runyon at left guard.

611
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: The rest isn't horrible.

612
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: John Michael Schmidt at center, Greg Van Wrote at right guard,

613
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 2: and Jermaine or Luminaur at right tackle.

614
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 3: So I thought they might have had the worst offensive

615
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 3: line in the league last year. So they went and

616
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 3: got a Luminare and run Yon basically for Barkley, you know,

617
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 3: in terms of money, which was kind of a good move.

618
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 3: They were two solid starters. They're not great, but much

619
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 3: like the Niners or the Dolphins, Thomas is the leave

620
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 3: on the island left tackle. We can help everybody else, Well,

621
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 3: that island sunk and then it goes to the real problem.

622
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 3: So I don't know how you help on teaching.

623
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 2: They've got They've got Evan Neil, a former top ten

624
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: pitch sitting on the because he can't play.

625
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't either. Yeah, I don't.

626
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: I don't know how they did. Because you're gonna have

627
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: to help the left tackle.

628
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: You have to. It's gonna be. It's gonna be a

629
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 3: bad football player at left tackle. Yeah, So I don't

630
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 3: know how you help on what.

631
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be the issue for them.

632
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 3: And by the way, Heyward's better than anyone on their

633
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 3: in tiers, better than anyone on their interior. So's Ogan

634
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 3: Jobi gonna be a problem. Thus, eight sacks from the

635
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 3: Eagles last week. Yeah, defensively, there's gonna be sacks in

636
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 3: this game. They're gonna be sacked because we're about to

637
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 3: get the lines pretty good.

638
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: Uh. At left defensive end, rakeem Nunez roaches. On the

639
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: other side is Elijah Chapman, and it knows tackle Dexter Lawrence.

640
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: The linebackers Brian Burns, Bobby Okarkee, Michael McFadden and is

641
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 2: Oli and Burns and Ojelari and Lawrence are problems.

642
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 3: They are they're the edge, I mean Burns in your

643
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 3: true edge. You know they play. Yeah. Uh, Thibodeau's on

644
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 3: ir He's been good to I mean, so Ojilari bumps up.

645
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: But he's very capable, very talented. Has been fine.

646
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, their problem, I don't understand they should be better

647
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: on defense statistically, Yes, I don't understand how they give

648
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: up five point four yards per Carrie. Yeah, playing a

649
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: three four defense.

650
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 3: Because those other dns, the dude's opposite Lawrence, they're not

651
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: great pastors.

652
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: I haven't studied them enough or teams getting them into

653
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 2: their nickel and running against it. That I don't I

654
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: don't know.

655
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 3: I do know. They're the youngest defense in the league,

656
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 3: So I bet there are some mental wearers and things

657
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 3: of that nature too, you.

658
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: Know, because the thing that stood out to me is

659
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: they give up five point three yards per carry on

660
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 2: designed runs in between the tackles. Yeah, well, I mean

661
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 2: there's a superstar in the middle. There's a superstar a

662
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: nose tackle. Yeah, Oka Rik is not bad. I don't

663
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: understand it.

664
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 3: No, I don't either. I need to look at it more.

665
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 3: I bet some of it is just the Giants offense

666
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 3: never pulls ahead the fourth quarter. It's gash, gash, gash,

667
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: beat up Lean. It's not a real deep defense. Yeah,

668
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,959
Speaker 3: I mean, so you probably get you pushed around as

669
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 3: the game goes on. But that's the Steeler specialty, right,

670
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: what they do with their second half point.

671
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 2: Differentially, they've run the ball the second most times in

672
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: the league and the only team that runs it more

673
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: are the Ravens, and that's because their quarterback gives him

674
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: about a hundred carries to this point.

675
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 3: And they've played more leads too. Yeah, right, well, it's

676
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: good played with fairs leads this year.

677
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: The cornerbacks Nick McLeod Deontay Banks. The nickelback is Drew Phillips,

678
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: who loved him in the in the draft thought that

679
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: thought the Banks might be a Steeler last year as well.

680
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he was in that consideration.

681
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: McLeod is much about mcle He's a jag.

682
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, just a guy. Phillips has been a real success story.

683
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: He's a nickel very good, he's very good, He's aggressive.

684
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 3: I wish he was a Steeler. I mean he's a

685
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 3: nice player. Banks will follow. Yeah he's not, he's not.

686
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 2: No, he's not. Yeah. I do believe that that if

687
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: they leave away from them, no, if they leave him

688
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: one on one with George Pickens, I'm throwing it.

689
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, And again I wish he was a Steeler too.

690
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 3: He looks like he's a bright future, but he's just young.

691
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: He's not to that level yet. Yeah, it's safety. It's

692
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: the strong safety is Tyler Nuban who I liked in

693
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 3: the draft. Yeah, he's been a he's been good, and

694
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 3: he's the leading tackler, which isn't the best thing either.

695
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: You don't have a strong safety being your leading tackler

696
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: long run. Yeah right. Uh. And the other one is

697
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: Jason Pinnock. And I'm going after Jason Pinnock.

698
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's two holes in the secondary. Yeah, they are

699
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: definitely target type guys that he's one of them.

700
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: This is a team that has one interception this year.

701
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: I know they don't take.

702
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 3: The ball away yep, pretty amazing.

703
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they on deep passes, they're giving up a

704
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 2: passer rating of over one fifty on throws twenty or

705
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: more yards down the field.

706
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 3: So many explosives on in both phases. Defense so bad.

707
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: So why I think they they don't care as much

708
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: about stopping the run, like, hey, we're going to stop

709
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: the run on the way to the quarterback, because if

710
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: we don't get to the quarterback and they get a

711
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 2: quarterback a lot. Yeah, but look out if you don't.

712
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 3: I bet that's what happens in coaches meetings like well,

713
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 3: we can either allow explosives over our head or a

714
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 3: lot of ten yard runs? Which would you rather?

715
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: Would you rather?

716
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 4: Right?

717
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: I prefer neither.

718
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: You know, they don't have that. They don't have that

719
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 2: choice right now.

720
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 3: No, I mean that's kind of where they're at. But

721
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,239
Speaker 3: that they shouldn't be a terrible deed. It shouldn't be right.

722
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 3: It shouldn't be it doesn't get any help from the offense,

723
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 3: but it shouldn't be a terrible deal.

724
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 4: No.

725
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: The specialist right now, well, Graham Ganot's on I R.

726
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: So they've got Greg Joe Joseph at plays kicker. H

727
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 2: Jamie Gillen is the is the punter. They use multiple

728
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: kick returners right now, it's it's mars Smith Marsett. But

729
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: you're gonna kick the ball to Eric Gray, as I mentioned,

730
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: because he puts the ball on the ground.

731
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: He's not real explosive either.

732
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: No, like Smith, Marsett's got one kick return this year,

733
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,479
Speaker 2: Gray and Tyrone and Tracy have combined for fifteen. Now

734
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 2: I look this up. I thought sixteen would be that's

735
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: got to be the most kick returns in the league.

736
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: There's some other teams out there that have more, including

737
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: the Browns. Teams want the Browns returning the ball.

738
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 3: Okay, that's kind of a cool thing about the new

739
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: kickoff rule. Yeah, who we wanted to return and who

740
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 3: do we not? So it's become pretty telling.

741
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: I mean if you think, like the Steelers have like

742
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: five returns all season, Yeah, nobody wants the Steelers guys returning.

743
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: The ball, even with Patterson out. Yeah.

744
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: So just something to keep an eye on there. And

745
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 2: the Giants' opponents only have five returns against them this season,

746
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: but they're averaging thirty point two yards per kick kick return. Okay,

747
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 2: so this is not a team that covers the kick returns.

748
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 3: Well well at all. So they're bad on teams like

749
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: any of the advanced metric people. You look at there,

750
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 3: like at.

751
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 2: The bottom, I might, if I'm Danny Smith, I might

752
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 2: tell Cordell Patterson if he's back this week, hey, if

753
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: they only kick halfway into the end zone, bring it out.

754
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I looked at this real quick too. I

755
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 3: didn't look at the other side enough. Their opponents have

756
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 3: only returned five kickoffs. Also, I just said, yeah, they're blasting. Yeah,

757
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 3: I was. I was reading while you were talking, and

758
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 3: so we had the same train of thought there. But

759
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 3: they've had fifteen, right, sixteen sixteen. This is a big number.

760
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 2: It's a big number in seven games right against you

761
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: because you've given up a lot of scores lost not

762
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 2: too Yeah.

763
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 3: They let you kick off. Yeah.

764
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: Anyways, let's get to another break. When we come back,

765
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: we're gonna hear from one of those Steelers special teams

Speaker 2: spree here.

778
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 3: That's unbelievable.

779
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 2: Three games in a row, you know, the record is

780
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 2: five games in a row.

781
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 3: Do you imagine five? I would have thought three was

782
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 3: a record.

783
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 2: The twenty fifteen Ravens blocked a kick in five straight games.

784
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: The two thousand and seven Bears had a block in

785
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 2: four consecutive games. So the Steelers right now are tied

786
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 2: for the third most blocks in consecutive games in NFL history.

787
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 3: So, as you made note on a different forum, this

788
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 3: giant special team is it's.

789
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: Really bad, really bad.

790
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 3: Four here.

791
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're on backups all over the place and there

792
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 2: were specialists and everything. It's not good.

793
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 3: That unit is poor.

794
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: But since uh two, I think uh they've had three

795
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: blocks in a season three other times twenty eighteen, twenty

796
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 2: twenty two, and twenty twenty three. The Steelers block three

797
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: kicks in each.

798
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 3: Of those seasons too.

799
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are eleven block kicks since the start of

800
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty one season, are the most in the NFL,

801
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 2: one more than Dallas. No other team has more than seven.

802
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: In that what they're doing is kind of historic. Yeah,

803
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 2: it's a pretty good run. It's a really good And

804
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 2: so when Mike Tomlin and it would have had twelve,

805
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 2: that should have had twelve, horrible call. Absolutely, it wouldn't

806
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: be a four game streak, but they would have had

807
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 2: their Yeah, it wouldn't be the four game streak, but

808
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: they'd have four in a season, which would be a

809
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 2: team record.

810
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: I bet they get there.

811
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: I would be willing to bet that because there, as

812
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin said, they have a block mentality. And so

813
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 2: I asked one of the guys on the special teams

814
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 2: unit today, what does that mean to have a block mentality?

815
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: That was Tyler Mettichavitch, who could return this week, and

816
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 2: he's what Tyler maticcabbits you had to say.

817
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 3: When Mike talks.

818
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 5: About a block culture, obviously you've been elsewhere in the way.

819
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 5: What what does he mean when he says we have

820
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 5: a block culture.

821
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 6: Everyone just knows that whether it's in field goal block

822
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 6: or pump like pump pump block.

823
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 4: There's always a chance that the steals are gonna get one. Uh.

824
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 6: I mean sure, it was like that when I was

825
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 6: here years ago, and then, like you said, even when

826
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 6: I left and I went up to Buffalo, we we

827
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 6: had the chance to play sales every year I was

828
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 6: up there, whether it was in preseason, regular season, and

829
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 6: right when you'll turn the tape on, like the whole

830
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 6: week it was just a these guys are gonna come

831
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 6: come and block a pump uh. And I just think

832
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 6: that's just how the Seals are known throughout the league.

833
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 5: How does how does Danny work with you guys on

834
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 5: those kind of things?

835
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I I think it's just such a

836
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 6: valuable point.

837
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 4: To that is just never taking the playoff. You know,

838
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 4: some guys get out.

839
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 6: There on a field goal block and after a long drive,

840
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 6: they wanna take a field goal, like to take a playoff,

841
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 6: and and Danny, Danny doesn't go for that.

842
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 4: You know. I mean, if if you're out there, you're

843
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 4: going to get going to get it.

844
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

845
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 6: And he really preaches it. But guy's bought into that,

846
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 6: you know. And it's the same return to pump block

847
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 6: when we're out there. You can't be surprised when when

848
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 6: you come free. You know, it doesn't happen much, but

849
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 6: but you got to expect to block it, you know,

850
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 6: like Moon a few weeks ago, like he came free

851
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 6: on the like that never happened.

852
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 4: But it does, it does, you know what I mean?

853
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 6: But you just the crucial thing is just expecting to

854
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 6: do free, you know, And that's what he did. He

855
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 6: did a great job, and he made it play. You know,

856
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 6: you could turn on the film and you.

857
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 4: Watch all these teams throughout the week.

858
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 6: You watch guys come through, teams mess up protection, but

859
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 6: they're not thinking let me go get it, like let

860
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 6: me block it, you know, and you could you could

861
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 6: see it as they start coming they almost like take

862
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 6: a hesitation step in there, try to speed up.

863
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 4: But by the time you do that, it's it's too late.

864
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 3: It's too late down here.

865
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 4: But I think just Danny doesn't that job in all phases.

866
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 6: Whenever a block is able to get get there, he prepares.

867
00:38:59,360 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 3: You, you know.

868
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, is that part of like the Saturday tape he

869
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 5: puts together. I know there's that tape that he puts

870
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 5: together for all the special team.

871
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and he just gives you little little nuggets.

872
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 6: Throughout the week, you know what I mean, Like hey,

873
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 6: like they're soft on the edge or soft inside, you

874
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 6: know what I mean, whatever, whatever it is, whether it's inside.

875
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 4: Or outside, you know, he's given you a little little nugget,

876
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 4: you know.

877
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 6: And then it sounds like guys to be professionals and

878
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 6: take that with what it's worth and go make a plan.

879
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 5: Everybody saw the video of you guys after the block,

880
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 5: everybody gathering around him and kind of yeah, he's just

881
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 5: that kind of guy though, that kind of coach like

882
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 5: you you wouldn't do that with every coach, No, Yahn.

883
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 4: I didn't.

884
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 6: He's special, man. I mean he's been here for years

885
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 6: and he changed my life personally, you know what I mean.

886
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 6: So I owe that guy everything. And I just think

887
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 6: it's just the way he coaches, the way he carries himself.

888
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 6: I mean he gets guys bought in, you know what

889
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 6: I mean, Guys care about it.

890
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 4: It just said.

891
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 6: You see his passion and how much Danny Smith cares

892
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 6: about it. You know, you don't want to let that

893
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 6: guy down. So, I mean, that's definitely the mentality.

894
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 4: I know.

895
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 6: I got that mentally every time I'm out there, like

896
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 6: that's the last thing I want to do is let

897
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:06,479
Speaker 6: my guy make the title.

898
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 4: I let that just because I want to let him down.

899
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 6: And I mean Danny just does a tremendous job of

900
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 6: preparing him. I mean there's never a situation when you

901
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 6: get into a game now you're like, oh man, I

902
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 6: haven't seen this, Like now you know what's coming, you

903
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 6: know what I mean. He does an excellent job at

904
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 6: preparing you so by the time you get to the game,

905
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 6: you can just play fast.

906
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 4: You're not thinking, you know what I mean.

907
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 6: And I feel like that's when we're at our best,

908
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, where guys prepare and they're

909
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 6: just playing fast.

910
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 4: You read to get back after Oh I can't wait,

911
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 4: I can't wait. We're itch and we're close.

912
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 5: Good.

913
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 2: That was Steelers Special Teams ACE Tyler Matakevitch.

914
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 3: And they have a lot of special Teams aces, more

915
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 3: than most teams, more of the most teams.

916
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 2: And that goes into that mentality as well. I they

917
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 2: designate guys, you know, dedicate guys to playing special teams.

918
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 3: Over the last five years or so, Matty Kaevich and

919
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 3: Killer Brew are two of the top five true special

920
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 3: teamers in the LEA. Yeah, you know they really are.

921
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, so getting that guy back, you know, we we

922
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: were concerned about the special teams units in the training

923
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: camp because there were so many changes, like especially after

924
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 2: Johnson gunner. Yeah, who's going to be the gunner? Who

925
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: is going to do this?

926
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? And uh yeah yeah.

927
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 2: So they've been able to take care of that. But

928
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 2: maybe we'll get to see Tyler Medakevitch this week on

929
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: Monday Night. We'll see if the Steelers activate him for

930
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: this one. But Matt, that's going to do for our show,

931
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 2: all right. So another one in the books. Uh, for
