1 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. 3 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Drive. I'm Dale LOLLI he is Matt Williamson, 4 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: and it is a Friday, which means it's almost game day. 5 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: Matt and the Steelers at different than last game out 6 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: there too, and well there's a little different. One week 7 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: ago today, I came into the studio. It was minus two. Wow, 8 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: minus two. I had to walk across where full disclosure, 9 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: here are are UH studios are in UH Carnegie Bridgeville, 10 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: basically overlooking the Interstate. Were up. We're up on top 11 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: of the hill here. You could fly a kite nine 12 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: days out of ten up here in normal instances like 13 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: if you're I mean many people have been by the 14 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: seventy nine exit. If you look up to the high 15 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: where since the wall droom building. That's us. It's funny. 16 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: I was at the Buddies last night, um, and we 17 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: were we were sitting outside or just hanging out outside. 18 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: And one of my friends goes, last week at this time, 19 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: it was sixty degrees colder than it is today. Yeah, 20 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: it's sixty degrees yeah, And he wasn't wrong. So, but 21 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: everyone's in a chipper mood. The sun's out. Here we go, 22 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: here we go. It is Ravens week, the Steelers finishing 23 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: off their last practice of the week for that today, Um, 24 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: looks like they're pretty healthy. It sounds like it. Uh, 25 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't look like they're gonna see Lamar Jackson. 26 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 1: We just saw this game right right three weeks ago. 27 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: The Ravens ran for two or fifteen yards, and that's 28 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: what I wanted to talk to you about, Melica. So, 29 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: since with the three games without Lamar, the Ravens have 30 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: averaged a hundred and eleven passing yards per game, what 31 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: is it? What is a reasonable expectation or what would 32 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: be the benj or what would be the tipping point 33 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: to not allow on the ground this week on the ground, 34 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna ask me through the what's an 35 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: acceptable amount of yardage for the Ravens. Again, they're they're 36 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: gonna run for yards. Yeah, So it's almost like the 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: Carolina game we talked. I was about to say the 38 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: same things, Like we were previewing the Carolina game and 39 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: I think probably eight times throughout the week we said, well, 40 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: Caroline is gonna get to a hundred yards and they don't. 41 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: They can play three games and I got the got 42 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: a hundred yards. I don't think that's gonna be the case. 43 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna be wrong that Baltimore is 44 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: gonna not get yardage on the ground. If I told 45 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: you they ran for one, would you take that in 46 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: a heartbeat? Like the Steelers win? What if it's one fifty? 47 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: I still think the Steelers win. Okay, I mean, would 48 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: you take it if I said I'll give you one? 49 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: Or would you take door number two? Um? I mean 50 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: obviously you take it. It's they average a d sixty. 51 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: They had to fifteen against you the last time, so 52 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: if you hold them to one fifty, hold you held 53 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: them still, it's sixty five yards less than what they 54 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: had the first time. Around. Sixty yards is significant. It 55 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: is for a team that can't throw the football. I mean, 56 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone expects either team to run out 57 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: and hide and half to totally abandon the run and 58 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: go empty and throw all over the yard. So they'll 59 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: probably run it forty times. Yeah, you know that's what 60 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: they want to do. That that's what that's all they do, 61 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's been rent repeat with most 62 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: of these teams, with the semi exception of the Raiders 63 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: of Carolina, Atlanta, Baltimore. Baltimore. They only do one thing, 64 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, which I think is a good thing for 65 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: the Steelers, having seen them twice and been focused on 66 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: stopping the run a lot and bigger people have been 67 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: on the field defensively more than usual. Um. But yeah, 68 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: I think I would take one fifty right, right, right, 69 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: that's about the that's about the tipping point. Yeah. You 70 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: just can't let their running game control the game. That's 71 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: what happened last time, That's what happened. Yeah. Yeah, but 72 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: Steelers really moved the ball on them. Well, different quarterback, 73 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: different quarterback. Um, but you should be able to have 74 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: some success moving the football. I'm really impressed with their defense, 75 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: but they just moved the ball against them pretty well. Yeah. 76 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: I mean they were aggressive, attacking downfield, attacked Humphrey and 77 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: you know, guys, usually you don't um And again there's 78 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: a familiarity there, and I think it's coming into shape 79 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think it happens sometimes with with 80 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: top cornerbacks. They get a reputation and then people don't 81 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: test them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you do it. You're it's 82 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: like the Steelers old run defense and like, you know 83 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: two thousand, well they just stopped the run, so you 84 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: don't even try to do it, and then all of 85 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: a sudden you do it, and you're like, you know, 86 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: the Bengals would always were always the perfect example of it. 87 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: The Bengals would come out and run the football against 88 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: the Steelers sixty yards in the first half, running the 89 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: ball against the Sea Let's and then they finished with 90 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: seventy because they give up on in the second half. 91 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: But they were running the ball effectively. Um that's what 92 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: teams are doing against the Ravens defense right now. I 93 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: mean they're they're seeing very few rush attempts. Past percentage 94 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: is very high, and that makes you a little easy 95 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: to play against, though, you know what I mean, Like 96 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: if the if the Ravens know you're throwing, it's different. 97 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: If you're my homes and Allen and these guys, you 98 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: know that, that's a different world. I think one of 99 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: my big keys is how dedicated to the run to 100 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: the Steelers stay assuming they're not down two scores. Here's 101 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens injury report from yesterday. We don't have Today's 102 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: Yet this is really interesting. Klaas Campbell still not practicing, 103 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: hasn't practiced. It seems unlikely to me that the uh 104 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: Tristan cologne is one of their backup centers. Did not 105 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: practice either day. That's they're saying, that's a personal issue. Okay, 106 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: I mean he's on a dude anyway. Yeah, now, justin Houston, 107 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: Miss Wednesday, but he did practice Thursday. He's going to 108 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: play in the month. He didn't have a sack in 109 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: a month of December. He's are leading sack guy with 110 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: like sis or whatever. Nine maybe it was six when 111 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: they met or never mind, I'm wrong about that. Um 112 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson obviously Marcus Peters right, still like if he 113 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: doesn't play, that's a big deal. It's a big and 114 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: I'm not even a huge Marcus Peters fan or are you, 115 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: But he's an NFL caliber starting cornerback. He's an outside guy. 116 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: Might they can play for you? Yeah right? I mean 117 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: the Steelers receivers Johnson and Pickens are mostly outside guys, 118 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: not them. They will drift in this lot, but not 119 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: a lot that's where Peters lands, and they like to 120 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: put Peters in Humphrey on sides so you can dictate 121 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: your matchups. Um, they've been playing. They played Stevens in 122 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: that role last week, who was a young guy that 123 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: I guess they kind of like. I like to match 124 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: up against Stevens though, yeah, right right. You'd much rather 125 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: have Peters out there if you're Baltimore, without question, and 126 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: Steelers seem to go in the first matchup more Humphreys 127 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: Way and Peters. I don't know if that's coincidence or what. 128 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: You know. I don't know if that was game planned 129 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: or what, but played by play type of thing. But 130 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: maybe an o big Ronnie Stanley has been limited both days. 131 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: I expect him to play, but he's not. What yeah, 132 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: never gonna go away? Yeah uh? Geno Stone with a hamstring. 133 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: He actually plays a fair amount. He's their fourth safety. 134 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: But they love having right right right, so he used 135 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: to play a lot when something that when Williams was hurt. 136 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: J around here. J K Dobbins Stone, I don't believe. 137 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: I don't know he's Niowa guy. Uh. JK Dobbins and 138 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson didn't practice yesterday. It's like they're two best playmakers. 139 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: They listed They listed Dobbins as rest, but I was 140 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: reading they don't think he's a back. No, I was. 141 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: I was, actually I was reading a uh quote sheet 142 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: from him with their media earlier this week, and he 143 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: was talking about how the flexion, the flexi flexion in 144 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: his knee is still not back to where it needs 145 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: to be, so he's probably won't be this year. He's like, 146 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: I can't, he said, every once in a a while just 147 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: tightens up on me. Yeah. I mean people may have 148 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: noticed this the the one long run he had against 149 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: the Steelers, dragging that a little bit. You know, it 150 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: wasn't a little dead right, right right, So I bet 151 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: it is bothering him. He's really only playing like twenty 152 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: or twenty five snaps a game too, and he's been 153 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: very efficient, but he's not the workhorse that people think 154 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: he is. And Robinson has been their number one receiver. Robins, Yeah, 155 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: he's I mean he if you remember the first game, 156 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: I think he had four catches for fifty five yards, 157 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: which and they it's like their equivalent to Justin Jefferson 158 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: catching two yards. So they're in a they're in a 159 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: strange spot with some of these guys. So if you're 160 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: harbor is it are you more win now or rest. Now, 161 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: considering you're in, you're in. You're pretty comfortable. It might 162 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: depend what happens with since one though Cincinatis Monday nights. 163 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: You're not even gonna not even know that, right. I 164 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: wonder how they're playing this because I kind of especially 165 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: without your starting quarterback. I think I think rest in 166 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: being healthy for you're gonna playoffs, like you're gonna rest 167 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: class Campbell. You're gonna arrest Marcus Peters. The guys are 168 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: over thirty. You're not gonna guys, well, you guys have 169 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: played enough football. If there's a playoff game, I bet 170 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: both those guys address you thought. I don't think they 171 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: will for this one, because sure you'd love to win 172 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: the division, but you're pretty comfortable with the five seed 173 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: or wherever you land, because you're gonna go play jacksonvilor Tennessee. 174 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: That's a wonderful like location. So I would not push 175 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: it if I were hardbar, I think that's gonna be 176 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: what happens here. You know, take take from that what 177 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: you will, right, you'd rather the best guys don't play, Yeah, 178 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, so it's it's gonna be interesting. I you know, 179 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: maybe they look at this and say, hey, we stole 180 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: one in Pittsburgh two or three weeks ago. You know, 181 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: if they get us in this room again, so be it. 182 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: Or maybe, yeah, maybe we win this again. And I'm 183 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: sure they're looking at it just like we just said. 184 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: And well, I don't think Pitts version to go up 185 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: twenty nothing on us. You know, we can keep running, 186 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: keep running, keep running, and see if Tucker wins into 187 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: force in the end. And that's how they play every game. Yeah, 188 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: like Peters and Campbell, chill for a little bit and 189 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: get ready for the playoffs and try to make a run. 190 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: That's why to me, this is key. I know you 191 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: had in your stat package. Um, this Ravens team, they 192 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: don't give up many points in the first quarter. They 193 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: never do remarkable there. I don't know if we've talked 194 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: about this, but I mean it must have caught your eye, 195 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: because points by quarter, they're like the best in the 196 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: league in the first quarter, top three or four in 197 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: the second quarter, top eight ish in the third quarter, 198 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: horrendous in the fourth, like did the damn just break? 199 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: I mean they've given up a lot of late leads, 200 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: they certainly have. So is that enough of a trend? 201 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: Is it a small sample size. Is there something on 202 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: tape people find throughout the game that they expose? Are 203 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: they not in great shape? I don't, you know, there 204 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: is there some reason for it, which if this game's 205 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: ten ten with fifteen minutes to play, okay, you know, yeah, 206 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: history shows we saw the Steelers come you know, they 207 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: were down and scored late to to have the chance 208 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: they you know, to have a chance to to win 209 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: that game, right right right? Um, this team will give 210 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: up touchdown drives late in games, that question, And I 211 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: don't know why exactly, but it's enough of a trend 212 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: that it's a little strange, especially how good they are 213 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: in the first recorders. So oftentimes Matt and I made 214 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: me think of this as you know, we're talking to 215 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett on Wednesday, and uh, you know, he's asked 216 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: about running the you know, how did you get that 217 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: touchdown drive late in the games? Like, well, we're in 218 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: two minute offense. Explain to people what happens when an 219 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: offense goes to its two minute offense and why you 220 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: can't do that in the entire game. Well, I think 221 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: a big reason you don't want to do the entire 222 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: game is a three and out is one sip of gatorade. 223 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: They can't you know what I mean where your defense 224 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: out defense doesn't always appreciate a three and out when 225 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: you're in hurry up because there's no time off the 226 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: clock and we're just out there. That's a big worry, 227 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: especially the way this team's designed to you know. I mean, 228 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: that's that's a death kneil for this group. I do 229 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: think there are quarterbacks that love the tempo without doubt, Beneth, 230 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: but you couldn't do it all the time because of 231 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: what you just said. That's the risk. I mean, if 232 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: you were so unbelievably efficient at it. Okay, you know 233 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: that we have few or three a ounce. That was 234 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: a knock on the k gun offense for example. Yeah, 235 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: exactly know you're never going there and we're gonna go 236 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: out there, but you better score. It's not Yeah, it 237 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: doesn't complement the team. The rest of the team doesn't 238 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Um. I also think most teams, and I 239 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: don't know have the I'm not a coach, but I 240 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: think they shortened the playbook dramatically. You know, what are 241 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: your favorites, Kenny, We're gonna go to what works, you know, 242 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: the two minute call sheet, I'm sure is much different. 243 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: You might have fifteen plays, yeah, and and then okay, 244 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: so after you've done two drives of that, what you 245 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: got left. And that's the other thing too, is if 246 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: you if you're going off the short menu, you know, 247 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: not the cheesecake factory menu, all of a sudden, teams 248 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: can adjust you a lot quickly too. You know, I'm like, well, 249 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna run out here, and you know, so now 250 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: on the offensive side of that thing, when you when 251 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: you go no huddle against the defense, you're gonna get 252 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: vanilla defenses out of them nine times out of that's 253 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: a good point, especially because we don't have time to 254 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: get our play calls in. We're going base cover two 255 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: or whatever our check is, you know, and by then 256 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: you know what it is, which is by the end 257 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: of games, when you're running two minutes, you almost know 258 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: what coverages you're getting. And it's hard for people don't 259 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: think about this stuff because they play Madden, they hit paused, 260 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: they go pe get a beer or whatever they do 261 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: that things happen quick on it in the NFL stadium 262 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: and getting the play call from the play callers mind 263 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: to the eleven dudes that have to run. It doesn't 264 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: take point three seconds, you know, I mean, like you 265 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: gotta there's a lot of logistics people don't think about. 266 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: This is my theory on why the Ravens are getting 267 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 1: scored on the fourth quarter. In those type of situations. 268 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: They probably run more exotic type blitzes. No, I bet 269 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: they shorten it up good point. You can't put nine 270 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: guys at the line of scrimmage. And then okay, these 271 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: guys are like they do more of that than any 272 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: team in the league. Even though they don't blitz as 273 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: much this year, they still show it a lot. There's 274 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: still a lot of you know, a lot of pressures 275 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: and stuff like that too. Whereas when the other teams 276 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: in a hurry up, you're going, I mean, okay, the 277 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: free safety is at free safety, the strong safety is 278 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: at strong safety. The corners are where they are, and 279 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: you're not you're not showing all those guys as the 280 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and half of them are bailing at 281 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: the snap. A couple of thoughts there, Especially this Raven team, 282 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: they have about five or six defensive players that basically 283 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: never leave the field, and then they rotate a lot 284 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: of the others. You know, Clay's Campbell can't play snap 285 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: after Stapp right now. He's years old. So if you 286 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: can also limit their substitutions too late in the game, 287 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: that's a big reason that Brady was so good at 288 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: it is. Boy, I got a heavier defense. I'm gonna 289 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: run the line of scrimmages. I'm not letting themselves because 290 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: we got them right where we want them. They have 291 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: to play with these eleven guys. But I was also thinking, 292 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: and my hunches, you and I've done this a while 293 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: that you were insinuating this. What if you ran one 294 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: series of hurry up in the second quarter? You know 295 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: what I mean, just something that they have not seen before. 296 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect from a rookie quarterback. Why don't we go, know, 297 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: huw tole off tempo, even it's just a few players, 298 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: you hit, you hit a play, Okay, we got him 299 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: in this. Keep him on the field. Let's get to 300 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. Here's the call, a little hands 301 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: signal and run the play or called two plays in 302 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: the huddle. And you know, maybe there's some use of 303 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: tempo there. But because they do like this sub a 304 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: lot and they do use a lot of exotics and 305 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: in different packages and things of that nature, and it 306 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: keeps it keeps them from zeroing in on Kenny Pickett. 307 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: If you think about the first game, early in that 308 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: game and pick it wasn't in there very long, but 309 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: they showed a lot of them. They showed those blitzes 310 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: every play, every play, every play and the one they 311 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: didn't get picked up. And you know, right when they 312 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: went to Trabiskie, I didn't do it as my back off. 313 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: They definitely changed. I mean, it's just a veteran vers 314 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: a rookie thing. I mean, there's no question. Yeah, that's 315 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: a good point. You can maybe get him out of 316 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: those things, you know. Oh no, but we go to 317 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: check the cover two, you try to cover two. Whatever 318 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: it is, Okay, now I know that. You know, so interesting. 319 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: The tempo thing is interesting. Yeah, you know, whatever you 320 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: gotta do to win this game. I do think the 321 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: Steelers need to be and I thought that they were 322 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: effective running the ball in the first half against the 323 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: Ravens the first in the first game, I think they 324 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: had like fifty four rushing hours in the first half. 325 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: It wasn't it wasn't super, but it was not right, 326 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: and then they didn't do it at all in the 327 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: second half and a one score game. The one score game, 328 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: I think I remember your ten thoughts were that is 329 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: this sometimes get games confused. But he had two carries 330 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: and he had two touches in the second Yeah, it's 331 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: not a not a one score game that was very, 332 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: very winnable against a non explosive offense. And I think 333 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: he just showed you. I looked up their numbers. The 334 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: Ravens actually against running backs catching the ball to the 335 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: backfield are on the low end of the spectrum, are they. Yeah. 336 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: I wonder if it's better post roke one. I bet 337 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: it is, but still it's still yeah. I mean you 338 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: can also catch them on their blitzes and stuff like that, 339 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: things of that nature, their heads and screens. And if 340 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: you're if you're getting three yards of carry running inside, 341 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: but I can get five throwing the ball to the 342 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: back outside, I'll take the five. I mean, I think 343 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,719 Speaker 1: we're all happy with the Steelers running game, but I'm 344 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: always gonna nitpick it for lack of explosion. But if 345 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: I can get the same ball carriers touching the ball 346 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: one yard past the line of scrimmage where all the 347 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: big people are as opposed to four yards behind the 348 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. I'm all for it. Yeah, absolutely, and 349 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: we saw some of that in the second half. Finally, 350 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: if you if you use that, if you remember the 351 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: first two interceptions in that game that Trabiski through, we're 352 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: both linebackers undercutting stuff down down down the scene middle field. 353 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: If you can occupy them at that level with friar 354 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: Mouth and occupy them in the middle with the running backs, 355 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: I think now you make them make a little bit 356 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: of a choice there. Yeah, I was thinking you'd go something. 357 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I don't disagree. But if 358 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 1: you can run the same route that you threw picks 359 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: with with friar Muth, but you have a flat option 360 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: to you know what I mean, Just anything to occupy 361 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: that line back and make him. Okay, I gotta I 362 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 1: gotta defend this. I can't get my drop quite as 363 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: deep as I want to broke one and Queen's mind 364 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: are going, They're gonna throw me the same one again 365 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: and then dump into the side you know, or whatever 366 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: you yds out of it. Okay, open space. I don't 367 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: dislike that. At all. I mean, every yard, every first 368 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 1: down is going to be really well. These are always, always, 369 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: always feel position games. So a punt is not a 370 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: bad thing, no end. Every drive of the kick is 371 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,360 Speaker 1: fine with me. Absolutely. This is that that's the way 372 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: these kind of games play out, in the way that 373 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: pretty much that they always played out. Although somebody put 374 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: somebody posted the video today. Actually I've seen it posted 375 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: in two different places. Ravens Steelers I believe in two 376 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: thousand seven or eight, I can't remember which year it was, 377 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: but the game, Roethlisberg had five touchdown passing James James 378 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: Harrison had ten tackles include I think six for a loss, 379 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: three and a half sacks and interception and stuff. He 380 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: was just everywhere. I don't expect that type of game 381 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: really from either side. From either side, I'll expected from Roqua, 382 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: expected from you know what, any of those guys. So no, 383 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: it's it's somewhat of a hard game for us to 384 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: preview because you just saw these guys. We just did 385 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: it through. Sure, all of our listeners have seen a 386 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: lot of Ravens Steelers games, and they all are kind 387 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: of the same, and the coaches are the same, and 388 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if the quarterbacks are or not be 389 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: the more physical team, don't make the mistakes went on 390 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: special teams. If you can run the ball as well 391 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: as them, you'll win. Yeah, even if even if it's 392 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: not as well as them, I don't think you will 393 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: work as well as they do. But if you's, it's 394 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: gotta lee be at least enough to occupy, right, if 395 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 1: you can get a little bit of play action going 396 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: or you know absolutely and you know pick, it's gonna 397 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: add to that. I guess the one thing I thought 398 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: that in the last game that Drabisky didn't do like 399 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: pick it running with the ball a little bit early. 400 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: He's a very good runner. Trabinsky hasn't run as much, 401 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: and I think, you know, adding that facet of this 402 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: to uh to the equation, um makes it a little 403 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: makes him a little more difficult to defend. I think 404 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: some design Picket runs will be in the mix. UM. 405 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: I spend more time watching NFL than I do college 406 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: even draft. I mean, even obviously I've watched a lot 407 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: more Picket as a Steeler than as a Panther. He's 408 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: twitchier than I thought. I mean, he's a much better 409 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: athlete than I thought he's a sneaky runner. He's I 410 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: don't think he's a sneaky runner. I think he's an explosive, 411 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: twitchy guy. Like the way he alludes rushers. He has 412 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: really good feet, and his running skills are better than 413 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: I thought that I thought when he came out of school. 414 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: His I mean, I'm not saying Lamar, he reminds me 415 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: of Justin Herbert a little bit. Okay, I think Herbert 416 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: it's a little less twitchy, more of a strider. Yeah, 417 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: you know, with those big, long strides. That's what my 418 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,719 Speaker 1: kind of my point is. I used to think Pickett 419 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: was that, but he's more. I mean, I'm not saying's 420 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, but he's but that's a weapon. That's a weapon, right, 421 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: And when if yards are hard to come by, it's funny. 422 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: I asked Deante Johnson. He was talking earlier this week 423 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: about how they've started seeing more zone coverage in recent weeks, 424 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: and I said, is that because Kenny's hurt some teams 425 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: with his legs a little bit? Because well, maybe a 426 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: little bit, but you know, we've we just started seeing 427 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: it because we're beating man so well. And I looked 428 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: up the numbers. He's he's like, he has an over 429 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: eighty passer rating against man coverage. Yeah, and it's sixty 430 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: against zone. Now, some of that's because of the interceptions. 431 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: Were they in a zone in that last play where 432 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: you threw the hail Mary or a zone when he 433 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: tossed the one down the field to Claypool mhm. But 434 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, you know, he he completes a higher 435 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,479 Speaker 1: percentage of passes in man against Zoe. He's completely like 436 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: I think it's like se his passes against own defensive 437 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: he'll take the check down and people and the fans 438 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: sit at home and scream when he throws a three 439 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: yard pass on third and eight. Yeah, I'm gonna get 440 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: that part. But um, I don't know. Their top three 441 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: weapons are hard demand up against. Yeah, I mean it's 442 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: part of it. I'm sure that's what's the Onte's point 443 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: is we're beaten man, right, he's the big But I 444 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: think some of that's also because pickt is. You know, 445 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: when you're playing man and the quarterback has the ability 446 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: to run, oh absolutely, you know. The next thing you know, 447 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: he's running twenty yards down the field and everybody's got 448 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: their back to the quarterback. A lot different than last year, 449 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: a lot different. It's a totally different way. I think 450 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: Brady's seen a lot of zone rates right right right, 451 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: And I think us analysts and certainly the fans aren't 452 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: quite sure what that weapon is. We haven't seen it 453 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: in a long time. But it can really be valuable, 454 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: and not just to get you out of trouble, but 455 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: quarterback draw and you know how many times has he 456 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: converted a sneak on fourth and one and one? I 457 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: think the best third and one percentage in the league, 458 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: probably a lot for that reason. Of course, the line 459 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,479 Speaker 1: deserve some credit and all that, but the I don't look, 460 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm I think there's an art to sneaking the football, 461 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: and Brady is the best example. He's not a tremendous athlete, 462 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,959 Speaker 1: he's not Cam Newton just bullying people. But Kenny's got 463 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of that as well as the quickness 464 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: to snap and go. You know, so, I think that's valuable. Absolutely, sorry, 465 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: but you all right, what's going on here?
