1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Drive. I am Dale Lolly. He is

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: the Matt Williamson. It's a beautiful Thursday here, all chili

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: type of day.

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 3: But Sonny, Yeah, through the shorts back on. Nice look

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 3: at you. So I'm out there. It's beautiful. You can't

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: see you from the waist down here, all right.

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: Actually he doesn't have anything on that I wear rarely

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: wears pants. And we're not talking about shorts either. Yeah, oh,

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 2: there's a visual. He is the Matt Williamson. I am

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: Dale Lolly, not wearing a speedo. And this is the

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: Drive on the Steelers Audio Network. And Matt, I would

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: like to start the show off today, not by talking

16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: about the Steelers quarterback situation, all right, I would like

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: to talk about the Jets quarterback situation.

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: H So, So.

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: The Steelers will be facing a quarterback who barely played

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: last season.

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 3: Right, four snaps? Right, four snaps.

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: After being traded from the team where he became most

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: famous and then being given a ga jillion dollars. He

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: played four snaps, didn't play. He's come back this season

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 2: and Aaron Rodgers has been He hasn't looked Aaron Rodger ish.

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: He looks he looks like Aaron Rodgers light right now.

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: I agree with most of that. Now, one thing about

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: his history I think people forget is his last year

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: in Green Bay wasn't particularly great either.

30
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: Twenty six touchdowns, twelve interceptions.

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 3: Okay, that last year he played the whole season, Yes.

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: That was the whole that was seventeen games. Yes they

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: were eight and nine.

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: But he was like MVP ish right before that.

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: Thirty seven touchdowns, four interceptions, twelve interceptions were second most

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: in his career the first year he started the through thirteen.

37
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna use this analogy again because it's a

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: good one. There was a stretch in Rogers career that

39
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: I thought he was the best quarterback I've ever seen,

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: and I now think that's Mahomes. That's more my style

41
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: personally than a Brady you know, who's steady and iceman.

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: I'm more of the Maverick type, you know. And what

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 3: I always just say about Rogers was a Goose fan.

44
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: But that's just all right, Yeah, I just tell you

45
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 3: a good I have to do this. We did a

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: social Me and some buddies at the fraternity house in

47
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: college decided what if we could. I'm gonna call let's

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: give yourself your own nickname, and I went with Goose.

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 3: And I just started calling myself Goose. Didn't stick at all,

50
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 3: but it was a weird. We had some chuckles over

51
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: But anyway, there's more to the story I shouldn't tell.

52
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: But anyway, I thought Rogers highlight tape was as good

53
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: as I've ever seen, you know what I mean, compared

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: to Marino and Elway and all the greats. And his

55
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: low light tape might have been better, you know, like

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 3: there was very few mistakes. His interception numbers are bonkers.

57
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: His touchdown dinner reception ratio him and Mahomes are the

58
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: best of all time. Russell Wilson's third, by the way,

59
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: Yeah shocker. But now the low light tape is growing

60
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: at a rapid rate. You know, they're more per game,

61
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 3: more per game of bad decisions or holding the ball

62
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: when he shouldn't, or forcing something in a little bit

63
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: more of writing checks your body can't cash anymore, you know,

64
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 3: a little bit more of that.

65
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: And and it used to be and this is why,

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: I says Aaron Rodgers light he was actually a better

67
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: runner in my in my mind than Mahomes is. He's

68
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: a guy, and he's a guy that could escape the

69
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: pocket if you needed seven yards.

70
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: He got you eight every.

71
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Time and then ran out of bounds and you know,

72
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: held about yeah, never took the head.

73
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I mean it's just that, yes, so frustrating.

74
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: Mahomes is a lot of those quality Mames doesn't. Yeah,

75
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: but I thought I thought Rogers was quicker. Mahomes sometimes

76
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: looked like he's effective. He's a weird runner, but it

77
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: looks like he's all legs at arms and just kind

78
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: of you know, I mean he's bow legged too that way.

79
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: And I mean he's just a weird athlete, I mean,

80
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: very balanced, but was quick when he did it. Yeah,

81
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: And you and I have talked about this off the air.

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: I think his quick twitch athleticism is failing him a

83
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: little bit. You know, he was never the fastest, but

84
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: he could always do that and the quickness within the you.

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: Know, the quick ride and yeah, throwing the ball always

86
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:23,679
Speaker 2: up in the air.

87
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: Right and stuff off the ground. And I was told

88
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: many times he would go all practice with ever never

89
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: throwing a ball with his feet touching the ground just

90
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: to do it, you know, just to work on it,

91
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 3: you know, weird stuff like that. I still think he's

92
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: an exceptional thrower of the football.

93
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I do too.

94
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean except I mean he just flick

95
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 3: flicks the wrist and it's gone and it's leading guys.

96
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: And I bet he can't wait to go back shoulder

97
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: again with Davante and the stuff that it's uncoverable. But

98
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: he's not quite saying. I mean, he's a little older,

99
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: and if we've talked about a ton, he definitely likes

100
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 3: contact less, you know. I mean, it's all those guys

101
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: do it. I mean bended too, I mean, like all

102
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: the greats when they're at the end.

103
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: And it's it's been really evident. In the last three games,

104
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: all losses. He's taken eleven sacks and he's been hit

105
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: twenty six times. And I say that his time to

106
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: throw is the second fastest in the league.

107
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: That's where I was going to go with the two.

108
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: That's why I whipped the laptop out here. I mean,

109
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 3: his his yards per attempt is only higher than six

110
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: of the qualified guys. So he's not really throwing it downfield. Fine,

111
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: you know, but his completion percentage is only better than

112
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: five of those guys. Yea, you know, and time to

113
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 3: throw is low. I mean like it's a little bit

114
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: of ben at the end, you know. I mean, the

115
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: ball's coming out quick, but your completion percentage should be

116
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: higher in that regard. It should be. Yeah, I'm sure

117
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: getting Adams will help, There's no question about that. I mean,

118
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 3: he would help anyone. But and the tape shows it,

119
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: you know. And I don't think he trusts his line,

120
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: which I understand. They're a bunch of older dudes and

121
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: they've been good.

122
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: What's that The Jets offensive line has not been good?

123
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 3: No? No, And there's names people know on there. Yeah,

124
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: you know, I told you off the air. Then I

125
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: stoled us from Brandon Thorne, who I think is the

126
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: best offensive line guy out there. And Brandon more or

127
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: less just said I think Tyron Smith's one of the

128
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: best left tackles I've ever seen since I've done this,

129
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: and you know, the last ten years or so, Yes,

130
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: this was five years ago. Oh, I mean he'd be Yeah,

131
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: he's a pro bowler. But one thing that's really hurting

132
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 3: Smith on the left edge, which I'm happy high Smith's

133
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 3: back for this is Smith was a first round pick

134
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: and he's a rare player, Like he could be an

135
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: underwear model. Not many tackles could be an underwear model.

136
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: Like he's got a V and he's ripped and his

137
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: arms are like thirty seven inches long, and now that

138
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: we're on YouTube, you know, like his arm could grab

139
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: Tyler by the head over there, you know, I mean,

140
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: and he's he has kind of a strange because he's

141
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 3: so gifted. He would really hurt guys with that long

142
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: outside punch. You know, it's like from across the room

143
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: and it's not there for him anymore, you know, And

144
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: he's getting beat to his outside edge a lot. And yeah,

145
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: five given up. Yeah, And I'm sure high Smiths will

146
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: wear all this, if not pass it along well in

147
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: this one.

148
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: Because of that, you'd love to have Herbig available with

149
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: that speedball off the edge and the duck under like

150
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: he's he's reaching out there to get the punch and

151
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: Herbig goes underneath. High Smith can do that, yes, but

152
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: he's more of a power type rusher. He's got to

153
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: spin move and I don't know if that's going to

154
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: be real effective against against Tyrone Smith, but he can.

155
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: Be you know what I mean, right, I mean it's

156
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: a great point. Herbig would stylistically be a better fit,

157
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of taking advantage of that. And

158
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: you mentioned it too, I'm stealing your words. I mean

159
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: he was a little stiffer than he was. He was

160
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: an extreme the.

161
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: Last couple of years in Dallas. It was back issues

162
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: because he's so tall and you're always bending.

163
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you never lose your back issues. He's had him

164
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 3: every step of the way. Usually misses a game or two.

165
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you know, I wonder if if at times,

166
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: and we've seen him do this here and there in

167
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: the past, maybe you have wat gover and take a

168
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: couple of snaps on that side there.

169
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what often wins to the outside his

170
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: duck under you know, ghost movies unbelievable and even if

171
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: it's only ninety percent as good as from the other side,

172
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: well so it might work just fine.

173
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: Right, right, But what against Morgan Moses doesn't bother me either.

174
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: On the right side, they've seen each other a lot,

175
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: each other a lot, right, Right, He's not particularly good

176
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: at this point. I think it's fine, you know, Yeah,

177
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: it means fine. Yeah, And I think he's a placeholder

178
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: for they both a placeholder. I think I saw this

179
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: on NFL the Next Gen Stats. Morgan Moses has had

180
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: sixty nine pass rush snaps against t J.

181
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: Watt in his life. In his life, okay, yeah, yeah.

182
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: He tells you a lot about how how little the Ravens.

183
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: Actually throw the football, right, Yeah, I played twice a

184
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 3: year and let's miss the game I didn't know about, you.

185
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: Know, And but what has I think it was? Uh

186
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: ten quarterback hits in four sacks in sixty some snaps

187
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: in sixty some snaps.

188
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean if you're getting seven, right, that's great. Yeah,

189
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: it's a great ratio. So you take that all day long. Yeah,

190
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

191
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: Honestly, Cam Hayward's playing maybe the best football of his career.

192
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: Yes, he's been awesome. So I think Benton's pass rush

193
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 3: has been really good.

194
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: To Benton's pass rush isn't I don't know, you know,

195
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: in this one because he wants to get the ball

196
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: out so quickly, you know, is that quick pass rush?

197
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: Are they going to leave themselves open to that? Were

198
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: they worried about what or high spanned or high smith

199
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: winning at the snap and getting there what leads the league.

200
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: I believe in pressures under two and a half seconds pressures, Yeah,

201
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't surprise me. His first stepisode is just ridiculously fast.

202
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: I also wonder, like, I'm not sure who said it,

203
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: but I heard third hand information or second information that

204
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlins said you can't just play the same defense

205
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: against Rogers and of course not. I mean, you can't

206
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: do that against any of the I told you that, Okay,

207
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: I knew I heard it somewhere today when we're at

208
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: the facility, and I only who told me that, but

209
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 3: I guess it was you, and that makes sense. I

210
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: think we were on live video and yes, heard that,

211
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: which up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this should drop soon. But

212
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: I wouldn't blitz them heavy. I mean, they've they've been

213
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 3: a low blitz team. I mean, I think that foursome

214
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: should get home, they should be well. Yeah, and if

215
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 3: you're gonna blitz the guys and get the ball out

216
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 3: in two point five anyway, you might not even get home,

217
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But you would like to

218
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: get hits on them, even if it's ball comes out.

219
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 2: I might pick some spots with the land and Roberts

220
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: or Patrick Queen. Just a gap stuff get there.

221
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you know, just be disruptive, especially

222
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: if they're doubleing Hayward. Yeah, no, I mean I agreed.

223
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: I've been going back and forth on it all week,

224
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 3: like should they mix things up more blitz. I think

225
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: they've been a little vanilla no matter who they played.

226
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: But it can't come from the edges right right right,

227
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: It takes too long you get there.

228
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: Like Beanie Bishop and stuff. No, but a gap, yes.

229
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just show it and sometimes you drop out

230
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: and sometimes you're coming and make them guess when I

231
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: want to hit him.

232
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: I want to hit him, right, That's definitely a key.

233
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the last three games, and I know he

234
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: threw for two undred and ninety four yards against the Bills,

235
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 2: but it wasn't a good game.

236
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: It wasn't super plain right, Yeah, he got hit a lot.

237
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: He got hit a lot from Arrant Aaron balls and

238
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 2: you know it was it was two touchdowns, one interceptions.

239
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 2: Their last three games, they scored nine to seventeen and

240
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: twenty points with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. Even the wins

241
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: twenty four and twenty four points, and they lost the

242
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: opener to the forty nine ers with nineteen points. This

243
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 2: is not prior to acquiring DeVonta Adamson on maybe that changes,

244
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: but this is not a high power they did. Yeah,

245
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: but it's not a high powered offense, not.

246
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: Really, and it should be because it is despite the piece, right,

247
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: and some of it, like to your point, the name,

248
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: and this whole team has a little bit of that

249
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 3: because some of these names aren't quite as good as

250
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 3: their tape at this moment, you know, or the other

251
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: way around, the tape is not quite as good as

252
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 3: their name. Yeah, I run that's a good example.

253
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, the name on the back if it was Johnson,

254
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah you be Iyron Johnson. Think that might not be

255
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 2: NFL player anymore.

256
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: I dug this one up. I'm sure you you saw

257
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: it too. Is the first three weeks they averaged two

258
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: point three to one points per drive. That was tenth. Yeah.

259
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: The last three weeks twenty nine, it's a whole point

260
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: per drive less. Yeah. Now, I do think last week

261
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: was a little different. I mean lumping those three weeks

262
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 3: together a little after running game going, because they got

263
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: the run game going. It's a different coaching staff now

264
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: you've Adams, I mean it's a team in flux. They're

265
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: going to go one way or another, but it's gonna

266
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: be different.

267
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: But they scored seventeen points against the Vikings, who have

268
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: a good defense. That was in Minnesota. They had nine

269
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 2: that was in London or in London, yeah, yeah. They

270
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 2: had nine points against Denver.

271
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: At home, also a good defense.

272
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: Also a good defense, but Steelers are good defense. They

273
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: had nineteen against San Francisco and the Opener again another

274
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: good defense. They scored twenty four against New England and

275
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: twenty four against Tennessee. Now Tennessee also has a good defense,

276
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: but Tennessee, if you remember that was in week two,

277
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: that's when will Levis was just deciding Willie Neeley to

278
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: give the other team a.

279
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: Touchdow right, right right. They may have even scored on defense.

280
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: I think they did, yeah, yecause they also have a

281
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: block kick. I can't remember if they scored on that

282
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 3: or not, but they've It sets you up for things,

283
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: sets you up for things, right right, Yeah, I mean

284
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 3: I think they're super dangerous. I'm not saying they're like

285
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: sleeping giants.

286
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: Again, do you worry about because of the players that

287
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: they have, You're like, if these guys get it together,

288
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: you can lose to them.

289
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and Salad gets gets let go. But

290
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: the defense wasn't the issue at all, you know. I

291
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: mean it's not perfect, but I mean the offense has

292
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: been the problem of why they're not winning games more

293
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 3: so than the defense. And he's a defensive guy. But

294
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: when you're the head guy, the whole thing your project.

295
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: Especially when Aaron's unhappy, and he can say as much

296
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 2: as he wants that he didn't want to make that

297
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: you know, coaching change. But there's no doubt it's yeah right,

298
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 2: I mean he ever Aaron Rodgers averaged two point seven no,

299
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, yeah, two point seven to six air yards

300
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: per pass attempt, very low against the Vikings, yep. Four

301
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: time to get worse to get the ball out before

302
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: he wanted to.

303
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure Steelers Vikings don't play defense the

304
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: same way despite Flora's being here. But you have to

305
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 3: pull some stuff off that tape, ye have to. You know,

306
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 3: we have no doubt. I mean, the Flora's' defense is

307
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: like anything else in the league. They I don't know

308
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: this year, but I'm sure it's extremely close. Last year

309
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: they led the league in rushing three and they led

310
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: the league in rushing six or more. You know, like

311
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 3: you don't know you're getting everything. You know, Maybe i'd

312
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: take a little page out of that I said before.

313
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be real big on blitz, but bring a

314
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: six man pressure or two that you haven't shown all year.

315
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: Maybe this might be the game to do that. Yeah, yeah,

316
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: you know, the receivers are scary, but still.

317
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, just I mean, you got to trust your cornerbacks.

318
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: I think your cornerbacks are certainly better than Minnesota's. Oh absolutely, yeah, absolutely,

319
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: so trust them. Yeah, and you still got to make

320
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: a Fitzpatrick on the back end, and you might end

321
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: up giving up a big play, but you might make

322
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: a company yeah, right right. I mean, if the ratio

323
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: was still in favor, what you can't do is allow

324
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers to sit back there and pat the football.

325
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: No, because he's gonna pick you, pick you apart that,

326
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: that absolutely is not gonna be okay. If you're not

327
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: getting home with four, then it's time to change things. Yeah,

328
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: getting home with four, that'd be pretty much.

329
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: If he's just standing back there in the pockets, scanning

330
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: the field and not.

331
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: Getting hit, he's a throw for three hundred. You're gonna

332
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: You're gonna be in trouble. Absolutely, I'd be shocked if

333
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: that's the case. Though, I think I would be too.

334
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: I think just because of what I've I mean watching

335
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 3: the last two Jets games.

336
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 2: He's getting big hits, getting back to where we started

337
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: this at their offensive line.

338
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: Wow, as much as they've invested in it too. I mean,

339
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: like I think Vera Tucker is a good player. I

340
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: think Tipman can be a good player. The old the

341
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: older tackles are a little concerning, so they drafted on

342
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: in the first round, you know. I mean like they're

343
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: they understand that they tried to address them. It was

344
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 3: really bad last year, Like bought in the league last year,

345
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: and they're not quite getting the return on investment.

346
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: I bet they're happy with Yeah, I would bet so

347
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: as well. Let's get to a break. He is the

363
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 3: And Matt there are a lot of comments on YouTube. Yeah,

364
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 3: in this past episode, yesterday's episode.

365
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: Apparently apparently we hate Justin Fields.

366
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've heard. Yeah, so there's that.

367
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing could be further from the case. But true,

368
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: that's you know, neither here nor there. But if apparently

369
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 2: if you point out somebody the flaws in somebody's games,

370
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: and and uh, you're just not going to.

371
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 3: Be I don't quite get it. I mean in that

372
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 3: it's almost Fields versus Wilson is almost like the presidential debate,

373
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: you know, like if these people feel so strong about

374
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: one or the other and therefore hate the other guy

375
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 3: or get mad at you if you say anything negative

376
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 3: about either one, I don't know. I mean, no one's

377
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: really even seen Wilson play in a Steeler uniform. They

378
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: have not, you know what I mean, unless you wear

379
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: a camp every day or at least a little bit.

380
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 2: And I've also seen that. You know, he's he's a

381
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: he's been cast off now by two teams. I only

382
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: wish that I could be cast off by somebody with

383
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 2: my with my wife, cast me off and send me

384
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: somewhere else that would pay me.

385
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: They give them a bunch of first round picks.

386
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: Story, well, a bunch of first round picks and sixty years,

387
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,479
Speaker 2: you know, seventy eighty million dollars, which is what Denver

388
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: did for him because they wanted him so bad. It's

389
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 2: no different than Aaron Rodgers.

390
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: Right, or Watson or area. And these are guys, they're

391
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 3: big time quarterbacks at the time that got traded for

392
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 3: a lot and paid a lot. Yes, that's not cast off.

393
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: That's not a cast off that somebody wanted you. Now,

394
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 2: the Denver situation, the Denver situation was different, right, right,

395
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: understandably right, but it was. It was a situation where

396
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 2: they brought Sean Payton in and Peyton has quite frankly,

397
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: just wanted to bring his guys in.

398
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 3: And they're not a good scheme fit at all, not

399
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 3: at all. I mean, I'm sure he knew that coming in,

400
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 3: that we'll get through this year. With Wilson. They didn't

401
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 3: play in the last two games this season, knowing that

402
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: they don't want to be in the holting because of play. No,

403
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 3: they wanted to get in.

404
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: They didn't want to get him injured, so then they

405
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: had to pay him guaranteed money the.

406
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: Next season, right, Raiders did the same thing the year before,

407
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 3: or that's same year with Carr. You know, when they

408
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 3: knew they were moving on, you shut him down. Otherwise,

409
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 3: as you know, capraramifications if he gets hurt, huge, right, right? Huge?

410
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: Anyway, So let's get to the Steelers injury report here

411
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: real quick.

412
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: By no means am I saying his time in Denver

413
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 3: was a raging success was awful.

414
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 2: But Nathaniel Hackett, Nathaniel Hackett, the guy the Jets just

415
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: fired as their offensive coordinator essentially against his offense this

416
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 2: week and then again another foa friend of Aaron who

417
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: got that didn't work.

418
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: No, he was a disaster as a head coach.

419
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 2: So Steelers injury report today.

420
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 4: No.

421
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: Ge Harris full participant. Did not practice yesterday. Demonte Kayz

422
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: upgraded to limited today. That stup didn't have anything in

423
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 2: the right direction.

424
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: Uh.

425
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: Nick Herbig and Zach Fraser didn't practice, but they've already

426
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 2: been declared out. Alex Highsmith a full participant today.

427
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: Great, much needed.

428
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 2: Dylan Cook activated his window today to return to play,

429
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: so he was limited today. That's a foot issue for

430
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: him again. So you're gonna maybe get one of those

431
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: pieces back on the offensive line here, if not this

432
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: week or next week, certainly after the bye week. Yeah,

433
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: he got twenty one days to do something there.

434
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 3: I'd be shocked if his twenty one days comes and

435
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 3: goes and he's that's not gonna happen it right, You

436
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 3: need you need dying Cooking right right. This is not

437
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: like Aaron Rodgers last year when he came back you

438
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 3: know active.

439
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: I understand this isn't Troy Fatanu.

440
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: That we're talking about here, but backup tackle. But all

441
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 3: the help you can get on that air line right now.

442
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's def cone for Isaac Sayamalo, full participant.

443
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: He was resting yesterday. Michael Pruett full participant today, two

444
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: days in a row.

445
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: Good, Let's gives you more options.

446
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cordell Patterson did not practice again today with that ankle.

447
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 2: Go warn Yeah, uh TJ Watt for participant. He was

448
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: resting yesterday. Cam Hayward resting again today, did not participate.

449
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: I don't care.

450
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 3: About that here. He actually get all here.

451
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: He could just be in bubble wrapped during the week.

452
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: Cut it off off of him and let him go.

453
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: If he keeps playing the way he is playing now,

454
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: He's been the best defensive tackle in the league.

455
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 3: This year, right there, there's no question.

456
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at the all around game

457
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 2: pass rush and run, there's nobody better.

458
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 3: I think he's right at the top. I'm not sure

459
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: I put him one, but he's right at the top.

460
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: I mean, some people say Chris Jones, and Chris Jones

461
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: is an excellent pass rusher.

462
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 3: The guy they're seeing the next week, Lawrence is really good. Yeah,

463
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: they really hope Rad But I don't know that.

464
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: I don't know that he rushes the passer quite as

465
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: well as.

466
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 3: Cam in the same ballpark. Yeah, I mean these guys

467
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 3: are great, great players.

468
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean he's playing at an all pro

469
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 2: level this year. Yes, So I don't care if he

470
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 2: doesn't practice out, not one bit.

471
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 3: And I'm with you. I think this might be his

472
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 3: best season to date.

473
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: He has been a terror and I.

474
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 3: Thought it was two years ago. But this is every good.

475
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 2: If not just defies father time a little bit.

476
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's beating up on people.

477
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: I mean just throwing guys that he's throwing guys at it,

478
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: just tossing them get out of here.

479
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

480
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: And then Larry Ogunjobi was resting yesterday. He was limited today,

481
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: so okay.

482
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

483
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 2: Also, but added to the injury report today Roman Wilson

484
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 2: with the hamstring that.

485
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 3: Wasn't his original issue.

486
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 2: No, and he had no injury designation yesterday. The original

487
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 2: injury was an ankle, so he tweaked something today.

488
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 3: I feel bad for him, I mean because you hate Okay,

489
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 3: he finally gets a hat last week. I think he

490
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: ran four routes, you know, something like that, which we

491
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: knew was going to be a struggle to kind of

492
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 3: ease him into it. Yeah, and frankly it's not just

493
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: a small deal. But when the game was at hand,

494
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 3: I think I would have Wilson out there the last

495
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 3: series or two, just because not that it made him

496
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: that much better or anything like that, but he could

497
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 3: run more NFL routes now. If he gets hurting this

498
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: week and he doesn't help on special teams and guys

499
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 3: like Prue are coming back on offense, you're gonna probably

500
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 3: have four tight ends active. It's gonna be tough for him.

501
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, for him, right, And I've been asked that question

502
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: if if I've been asked about him once, I've been

503
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 2: asked one hundred times, why hasn't Roman Wilson done anything yet?

504
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 2: He missed all a training camp. Yeah, he missed the

505
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: entire preseason and didn't really start practicing in full until

506
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: just a couple of weeks ago. This is a moving

507
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 2: you want to talk about getting on a moving train.

508
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: It's one thing for a veteran to do it. It's

509
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 2: something completely different to ask a rookie to get in

510
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,479
Speaker 2: there and say, Okay, we're gonna put you out there

511
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 2: fifty snaps and I don't care how much you need

512
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: to think you need wide receiver help. It's really hard

513
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 2: to do.

514
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 3: It's really hard to do. And no one's gonna say

515
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: Jefferson and Austin are tremendous players that he couldn't get past.

516
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: But it's not gonna be easy. And when's he gonna

517
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: be able to prove himself right now? Right on that.

518
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 3: You can't just hand them the number two job. No,

519
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 3: you know everybody you.

520
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: Know on the Jets side of things, Well, the two

521
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: big ones Michael Carter and DJ Reid did not practice

522
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: again today.

523
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: Ye all reports are there long they're.

524
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 2: Probably not going to play. Mike Williams was told to

525
00:23:58,440 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: stay away again today, did not prayer.

526
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 3: I would be shocked if he's I'd be shocked he's

527
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 3: a Jet next week, I said this time next week.

528
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: If he's a jet.

529
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 2: Tyler Conklin limited again today with the hip issue.

530
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 3: I mean he's a solid starting tight end.

531
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: Will McDonald with the shoulder limited again today.

532
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's their best edge guy.

533
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,479
Speaker 2: Morgan Moses with the knee limited again today.

534
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: I do know they rest him veteran rest stuff, but yeah, he.

535
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 2: Has played a lot this year. Tyron Smith limited again today.

536
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: That's that's considered a veteran rest day.

537
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: Okay, adds up. Both those tackles are gonna get that

538
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 3: all year.

539
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams full participant, Aaron Rodgers a full participant after

540
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: not practicing yesterday and Chess Surratt, who was limited yesterday

541
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 2: with a heel. He's an inside backer. He was a

542
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 2: full participant.

543
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: Okay, the corners are the big thing.

544
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 2: The corners are the huge The corners are the two

545
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: biggest injuries going into this game.

546
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I on either team. I mean, the

547
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: guys we knew were out, Yeah, you know, I mean.

548
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 2: But they're they're two corners being out to me is

549
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: a bigger deal than Fraser being out because of the

550
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: way that their defense is constructing.

551
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 3: I said, it's very corner reliant, and they have another

552
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 3: great one, but then the drop off is massive, massive,

553
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 3: you know, I mean Gardner to all their other corners.

554
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 2: Like if we when we were initially going into this game,

555
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: if we ranked the cornerbacks one through let's say six,

556
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 2: because you put your top three guys out there, it

557
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 2: might have been.

558
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 3: Gardner, Sauce Porter Reid. Probably Jackson's had a real good

559
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: ye Jacksons had a really good year, but Reid has

560
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 3: been really good. Carter's one of the best slots in

561
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 3: the Carter's one of the best slots in the league.

562
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe a different way of looking at it

563
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: is how many trios of corners would you take over

564
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 3: the Jets? Maybe none? Maybe none, maybe not? You know,

565
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 3: and that's a really good group.

566
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 2: And that's what they're that their defense is set up

567
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: to play to that. And if you don't have two

568
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: of them, one of those guys you can kind of

569
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: piece it together. Yeah, two of them, it gets really difficult.

570
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 3: It does. However, if I was looking through a Jets perspective,

571
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 3: this is one of your better matchups to try to

572
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 3: pull that off.

573
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: I mean maybe because it has been to this point,

574
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: but with a quarterback change, yeah, will it still be that?

575
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 3: That was a very telling thing to watch Sunday night.

576
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: I mean, can they pick on bad corners without pickets,

577
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 3: you know, other than pickens? You know what I mean?

578
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 3: Be really promising if they can. Yeah, well, no doubt.

579
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: That's the thing, right And that, to me is the

580
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 2: biggest thing with the change a quarterback for the Steelers

581
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 2: is that I've seen guys. I've been live in the

582
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: stadium for every Steeler game, looking through the from the

583
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 2: press box view, and I've seen guys open right right right.

584
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 2: When people say why are you so hard on justin fields?

585
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 2: Because I've seen guys open. I don't even have to

586
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 2: watch you all twenty two to see it. I've seen

587
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: in the stadium right, and the ball hasn't gone to them.

588
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 3: And if you're just watching on TV, it's hard to

589
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 3: see that, folks. I mean, yeah, it's a thousand.

590
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: That happens with every quarterback. Ben Roethlisberger missed open receivers

591
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: and As.

592
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 3: Has missed open receivers. Right. And when you say missed,

593
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 3: you're not talking about I'm not talking about overthrow. I'm

594
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 3: talking about seeing them right, right. Nothing to make coaches crazier,

595
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 3: you know, we talk about that all the time, like

596
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna dow this route combination up and this down

597
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 3: in distance because they usually play cover two and here's

598
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 3: my cover two beaters and it's free. He doesn't throw it.

599
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: You know, there's no stat for that, but it's frustrating,

600
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 3: you know, as a coach, I'm crazy. I mean, I've

601
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: been watching tape one hundred hours this week and doing

602
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: my work and you don't let them fly when that

603
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 3: was what the whole play was designed to do. You know,

604
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 3: that's harsh, it really is. And and so we're not

605
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 3: field hating, it's just these are that's a that's a fact, right,

606
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 3: And there have been situations where, again, guys have been

607
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: opened that haven't gotten the football, and largely it's been

608
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 3: Calvin Austin and Van Jefferson.

609
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. Again, I don't think they're ad receivers.

610
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: I just think they haven't been getting the football.

611
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 3: I tend to agree. Now, there are some of those

612
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 3: plays where fields picks up twelve yards at the feet,

613
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, and move the chains and

614
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 3: everybody's happy, you know, but that's not how the plane

615
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 3: was designed, you know. But it's also kind of how

616
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 3: he's being coached too. Is if you're being pressured and

617
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 3: you're sitting patting the ball, go, you know, you don't

618
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 3: want to be taking hits in the in the pocket.

619
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll see if that gets better and see

620
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: if the Steelers are able to attack that a little

621
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: bit more so than they certainly would have been able

622
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: to do if Carter and Reed are both playing.

623
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, the challenge for those guys is much

624
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: easier now. Yeah, I mean I would think back of

625
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 3: corners can play well too, But that's those are injuries

626
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: you like to see going into this matchup.

627
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's also telling that you know the Conklin,

628
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: Will McDonald, Morgan, Moses, Tyron Smith. For Moses and Tyron Smith,

629
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: these are older guys. Yeah, yeah, they don't need a

630
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: ton No. Will McDonald's a young guy though he's a

631
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: second year player.

632
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 3: No, he is a legit injury.

633
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah that if he's their best pass rusher.

634
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 3: With that question, he's a speedball off the edge, but

635
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 3: he also plays hard. He's really lean, I mean like

636
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 3: he's two thirty. He's got a small waist. He's not

637
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: a huge guy, but he's long. Weirdly in college, you

638
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 3: know that that three man front they play in college

639
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 3: is so popular that he kind of had to play

640
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 3: like a three four defensive end, you know, so you

641
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 3: didn't see as much edge stuff as he's been doing there.

642
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: But he's really good at it. Yeah, he plays hard.

643
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: No, there's no doubt about it. And again, he's a

644
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 2: good football player. Is you'd like to see Broderick Jones

645
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 2: when he locks onto that guy.

646
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 3: Punish him in the run game. You've brought this up

647
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: a lot. You know that attacking their edges seems like

648
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: the best move, especially with your backup center, and you

649
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 3: know what I mean.

650
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: Williams Williams.

651
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and their backers are good, a good interior index

652
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 3: to you know outside. But Roger Jones has had his

653
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 3: struggles this year. But if I can get him coming

654
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 3: downhill in a run game on McDonald, that should favor him.

655
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 3: Should I mean that absolutely should. Yeah, it should.

656
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 2: And you know the other thing is with untested cornerbacks

657
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: in there, I want to see how these other guys tackle.

658
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: How willing are you able to do it?

659
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

660
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: And the other thing, you know, their backers are.

661
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 3: Good, they are. But C. J.

662
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: Mosley isn't a sideline the sideline guy anymore.

663
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 3: No, he's the brains of the operation. I mean Williams

664
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: is He's.

665
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: More a land In Roberts now than he is. Yeah,

666
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: full coverage guy.

667
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 3: He gets everybody aligned. I mean he was drafted like

668
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 3: the pick either before or after Ryan's ear. Yeah, and

669
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 3: that's how long he's been. He's been a good player.

670
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: He's been a real good player. Yeah. I mean he's

671
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 3: still getting it done, but he's not flying around the

672
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: field like he used to. Yeah.

673
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 2: I mean that's where the Steelers will be at this

674
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: point with Shay's ear probably right. I mean, okay, you

675
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: got ten good seasons out of them.

676
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the veteran Bobby Wagner.

677
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: Now he started to slow down a little bit, or

678
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: he can get by.

679
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 3: With fewer false steps and unrecognize things more.

680
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: But to ask him to go sidelines a sideline, uh huh.

681
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 3: And they're going to leave those two on the field

682
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 3: a lot. I mean they want to have two every

683
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 3: down count on your backers. And Quincy Williams, Quinn's brother

684
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 3: does fly around the field. I mean he's a smaller, lighter,

685
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 3: fly all over the place. I'm not sure what he weighs,

686
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 3: but he plays that way. You know. Yeah, he's not

687
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 3: a super great take on guy, but get him latterly.

688
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 3: He can really run.

689
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 2: But if I can, And that's why I was kind

690
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 2: of glad, you know, the Jyalen Warren got out there

691
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 2: last week and kind of knocked the rust. I mean

692
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 2: he's your outside runner.

693
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. And maybe even a jet sweep or something like

694
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 3: that too, just something around the edges. Yeah, you know,

695
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 3: I'm talking about one or two a game. Nothing too crazy.

696
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: But I definitely think Warren's role as a ball carrier

697
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: should expand. Yeah, I think not necessarily the expensive nause

698
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 3: but just you know, we remember what he used to do.

699
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean not you only had fourteen carries last week.

700
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: It's not like they overworked him.

701
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 3: No, I mean he sat out basically the fourth quarter.

702
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see where that where that injury report

703
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: goes tomorrow. Of course, I also expect Mike Tomlin to

704
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: make an official announcement tomorrow after practice. But it's something

705
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: we all know that at this point. Uh So, Justin

706
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: Field spoke to the media today, and I did want

707
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: to play back one thing that that that he had

708
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: to say regarding this whole situation. Neither he nor Russell

709
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: Wilson would say they've been told anything at this point.

710
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: But just listen to this Justin Field's answer to a

711
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: question about how he feels he has played.

712
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 4: Justin is it a little bill and start considering how

713
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 4: he played the first six games. I mean, I don't

714
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 4: I don't think I played You know, there are enough

715
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 4: if I'm being real with you, you know, if I'm

716
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 4: being rud with myself, I think if you know I

717
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 4: did play well enough, I don't think there would be

718
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 4: any sort of play at the day I got a

719
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: few wins. Of course, I'm glad about that. But you know,

720
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 4: there's is that you know I could be better at,

721
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 4: and you know, I'm just gonna continue to work I knows,

722
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 4: and continue to get better.

723
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: And I thought that was the proper perspective for him

724
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 2: to take on.

725
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 3: That framed it, and I.

726
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: Would completely agree with him. I think he's played well.

727
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: He's played well enough for them to win four games,

728
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: but he's not been perfect. There's things he needs to

729
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 2: work on, and he'll continue to work on that. If

730
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: he had played great, we'll be having this conversation right now.

731
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 3: Probably not No, And what did coach Donald say? I mean,

732
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 3: we've been good, not great. We need to be great.

733
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 3: They want to be great, right, And there's definitely things

734
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 3: feels need to continue to work on. But since he's

735
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 3: been here, he's gotten better at a lot of his faults,

736
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 3: if not all of his faults. No, he's still trend

737
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: in the right direction, absolutely, you know.

738
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: And this is not a situation where the Steelers are

739
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 2: giving up on him or moving on from him or

740
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 2: anything of that that nature. The funny thing was is

741
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: that talked again, talked to both quarterbacks today and they

742
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: both quoted the exact same scripture reliable like the same passage.

743
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 2: I think it was something from King or from from

744
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 2: James book, chapter one whatever, verse two, the same exact quote,

745
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: scripture quote for both of them regarding the situations you're

746
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: going to go through, trials and tribulations. And for Fields

747
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: it was talking about hey, get you know, getting you know,

748
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 2: moved out of the starting lineup. For Wilson it was

749
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: the injury stuff. These guys are close, they talk a lot.

750
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were probably sharing a lot of notes here. Yeah, yeah,

751
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 3: you know, so I don't think that was an accident.

752
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 3: You know.

753
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 2: Field said it early in the morning and then Wilson

754
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: said it later in the day, and I'm like, I

755
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 2: looked at one of the other reporters, I'm like, passage, the.

756
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 3: Exact same thing. That's pretty cool. So, I mean, I

757
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 3: think they're very much team teammates, you.

758
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 2: Know, absolutely, and I think I think they would look

759
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: at this. I mean, you know, last week after the touchdown,

760
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 2: the second I think it was first or second, which

761
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: other one it was Steelers with the video today on

762
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 2: on the X the ex twitter of Fields coming to

763
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 2: the sidelines after scoring a touchdown and one of the

764
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: first guys there to do the little jump back to

765
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 2: things it was Russell Wilson.

766
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you can see it even at camp.

767
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 3: You could see it at you know, they get along

768
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 3: really well.

769
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: These guys like each other. They've known each other for years.

770
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 2: This is not I don't I don't think Fields was

771
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 2: looking at this is going oh man, you know I

772
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 2: failed here. We talk about a guy who coming into

773
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 2: the season had won ten games in his career. Right,

774
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 2: He's now one for this season, one short of his

775
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: career high set last year. He had five wins last year.

776
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know. It's a good way of putting it.

777
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,479
Speaker 3: He's one shive of his career high. Yeah.

778
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:41,959
Speaker 2: I mean he's this has.

779
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 3: Been a successful experiment with that absolutely, and for him,

780
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 3: it's a chance to show that, you know, even if

781
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 3: he doesn't play again for the Steelers this year, and

782
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 3: he will, but his stock went up, His stock went up.

783
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: He helped himself.

784
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and so you know, even and he will

785
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 3: see the field again, whether it's here or somewhere else.

786
00:35:59,320 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 3: He made him.

787
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: He showed that if you put him in a right situation,

788
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 2: he can win games.

789
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 3: You can win games, and you can have be a

790
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 3: fruitful you.

791
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: Can have success. He was ten and twenty eight in

792
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 2: his career as a starter in Chicago. You didn't know

793
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: that coming off of that because he was just asked

794
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 2: to be everything and a lot.

795
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 3: Of change and a lot of instability. And he's also

796
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 3: better now, he's a better player. Anyway, I'm mature. It

797
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 3: is on the field, and I don't think it had

798
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 3: any off the field issues.

799
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 2: No, it never has.

800
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: He's been really strong that oney.

801
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, So it's all part of the process and

802
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: we'll see where this goes with you know, Russell Wilson.

803
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 2: I will say this about some of the comments. And

804
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: you people know who you are. If you are going

805
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: into this game hoping that Russell Wilson fails.

806
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, don'll get that.

807
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: What are you doing?

808
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 3: Right? What are you doing?

809
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 2: And you and you want to call yourself a Steeler fan,

810
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 2: but you hope the quarterback fails. You hope they get

811
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 2: they lose this game, so you're right. So you're right, right,

812
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 2: And even if they do lose this game, that doesn't

813
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: make you right. Tell me how the game went and

814
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: then we'll talk about that.

815
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 3: Like I did a night show with Tim Bens and

816
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 3: Tom last night, and it was like, if they lose

817
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 3: this game, it's all gonna be Wilson's fault, you know,

818
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 3: like maybe it will be maybe I don't know either, right,

819
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 3: who knows? But maybe it won't. But maybe it won't

820
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 3: because nobody wonted to.

821
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 2: You know, when they lose in Indianapolis, what wasn't Justin

822
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 2: Field's fault? You know, when they lose to the Cowboys,

823
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: what wasn't Justin Field's fault? You put up twenty points

824
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 2: in seventeen points.

825
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 3: The offense hasn't been good enough.

826
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 2: It hasn't been good enough. You know, you're averaging twenty

827
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 2: points seven points and that's with a thirty two point

828
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: output last week. That half of that was basically gift

829
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 2: wrapped for you.

830
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 3: It was, I mean in terms of mistakes in handing

831
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 3: the football and good good situations.

832
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: Haunts and things where you're set up deep in their

833
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: territory and you know, thirty two points is nice, but

834
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: they still only had two hundred and ninety plus yards.

835
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 3: He's been effective, I mean, he's been it's.

836
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: Been again not ripping on Justin Fields. No, this is

837
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 2: not that.

838
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 3: I mean, he's not mister Bisky coming off the bench

839
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 3: or no. Yeah, one of the best quarterback options they've

840
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 3: had since Ben. Yeah, if not number one.

841
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: But they might they might have a better one waiting.

842
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 3: I'ms like to see this.

843
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 2: They thought they did when they when they made all

844
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 2: their moves this offseason, they thought they had a better option.

845
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 2: So let's see it.

846
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 3: And I know you had a calf, but watching every

847
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 3: training camp practice, Wilson was better than fields and training camp, Yes,

848
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 3: I mean it was clear. Yeah.

849
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 2: Anyways, let's get to a break. When we return, we're

868
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 5: you know, it was it was tough, you know, early on.

869
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 3: The process.

870
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 5: Obviously, you know, you work, you know, you work all

871
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 5: your life. I have a long you played football, you know,

872
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,600

874
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 5: I've been playing for on draft day and things like that,

875
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 5: but unfortunately that wasn't my name called, you know, so

876
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 5: I just you know, kind of case for me at

877
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 5: the mentality of you know, going somewhere the kind of

878
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 5: right fit for me and where I would be able

879
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 5: to get the opportunity to you know, be able to

880
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 5: make that you know, would be the whether that's playing defense, uh,

881
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 5: special teams, you know, the teams ever whatever, trying to

882
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 5: do whatever I can to to be able to make

883
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 5: the team. Just what hard it is to you know,

884
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 5: make the fifty three man and and playing in the

885
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 5: fl as and I know how you know, And it

886
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 5: was and it was tough, you know, seeing all of

887
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 5: those guys in the drafted guy and you know and

888
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 5: not being one of those people. But you know, I

889
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 5: just put myam to get called always not really you know,

890
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 5: doing any posting on social head down and work like

891
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,480

Speaker 5: the work in media and all of you know, Uh,

893
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 5: I'll compete other guys, you know for a spot on.

894
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 2: The team, and then.

895
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 3: Since you weren't drafted, you've had the luxury of at

896
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 3: least choosing the team you could go to. I mean,

897
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 3: what was most attractive about the Steelers was it potential

898
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 3: early playing time in the slot coach Tomlin, you know

899
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 3: close to West Virginia where you played. I mean, what

900
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 3: what's attractive to you?

901
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, just being able to have them pete for the

902
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 5: slot job, ability to you know, obviously a winning organization

903
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 5: you know who you know, and it's uh be able

904
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 5: to play and win a lot of football games, you know,

905
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 5: and I doesn't want to you know, go to the

906
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 5: Super Bowl and things like that and ultimately play on

907
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 5: a goot to you know, you know, play for a

908
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame coach and a great organization defense. So

909
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 5: you know, it was just kind of like a match

910
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 5: made in Heaven, honestly, but.

911
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: Being you guys have a tall task for you, uh

912
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 2: facing you this week. Uh not only did the uh

913
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: is it Aaron Rodgers, which you knew was going to

914
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 2: be Aaron Rodgers, but last week, you guys prepared, you know,

915
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 2: for DeVante Adams to be out there. Obviously he wasn't

916
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: out there for the Raiders, and then he gets traded

917
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 2: to the Jets right before you play them. Uh, so

918
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 2: there he is. Now you've got you know obviously you

919
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 2: know with Wilson and now DeVante Adams out there, do

920
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: you expect to see a lot of those guys in

921
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: the slot this week? How do you how do you

922
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: go into this week as a team expecting the Jets

923
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 2: to to kind of utilize those guys.

924
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 5: You know, Uh, he played he played with Aaron Rodgers

925
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 5: in Green Bay for a long time, you know, Davante

926
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 5: and I feel like Aaron Rodgers is really running the offense,

927
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,760
Speaker 5: so you know, and it's probably gonna be the same

928
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 5: kind of signals and so you know, you know, communication

929
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 5: with those guys obviously playing together for a long time thing,

930
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 5: you know how he like he probably knows how where

931
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 5: he wants their routes to be, know what certain amount

932
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 5: of time and things like that, and just wayring you know,

933
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 5: and fall and I you know, I feel like they're

934
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 5: gonna you know, move uh to be able to get

935
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 5: him to you know, also with Garret Wilson and and

936
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 5: and things like that, I feel like Davante around plug him,

937
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 5: you know, into the offense. You know, obviously, no, they're

938
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 5: just gonna receiver one. So you know it's gonna be him,

939
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 5: and he's a kind of fighting for targets a little bit,

940
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, Garret Wilson, you know it's gonna

941
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 5: be you know, interesting, but you know, got to prepayre

942
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 5: is gonna always because honestly, you know, guys aren't in

943
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 5: the league for no reason.

944
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and being speaking of one of those guys who

945
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 2: weren't in the league for no reason, the Steelers are

946
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 2: going to be honoring the nineteen seventy four Super Bowl

947
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: team and one of the guys who just been into

948
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame a couple of years ago, Donny Shell,

949
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 2: an undrafted guy just like yourself in that nineteen seventy

950
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: four draft class who went on to make the Hall

951
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 2: of fame. So there's always hope. Doesn't matter how you

952
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: get there, it's just that you get there.

953
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 3: Sure, so we.

954
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: Appreciate your time, Beanie. We'll let you get back to

955
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 2: your day, but we appreciate you calling in and you

956
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 2: take care of have a good game this weekend. That

957
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 2: was Steelers cornerback Beanie Bishop. And you know that defense

958
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 2: is going to be tested this weekend. But sure they've

959
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 2: been up largely up to the test. This season should

960
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 2: be an interesting one. Anytime you're facing Aaron Rodgers, DeVante Adams,

961
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson, Breese Hall. I mean, this is there's a

962
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: lot of a lot.

963
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 3: Of your skill talent. Yeah, and I wonder what they'll

964
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 3: do slot wise.

965
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 2: That's kind of been the big question for me with Lazard.

966
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 2: Does a bump into the slot they you know, kind

967
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 2: of rotate those guys through the slot.

968
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 3: Maybe you want I mean from a Jets perspective, do

969
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 3: you want Lazard's size against Bishop, you know, his physicality.

970
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: Might want to know Adams or you know, you could

971
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 2: see any of it.

972
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe they're gonna keep them moving around. They got

973
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 3: a little bit of the elegant surprise working for him

974
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 3: in that regard. I wonder, I mean, Beanie's phone was

975
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 3: breaking up there a little bit, but I was curious

976
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 3: that maybe he pretrobably would have told me. Anyways, But

977
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 3: imagine being a rookie corner and studying Aaron Rodgers all week,

978
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like or Brady or Peyton

979
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 3: Manning at the end, you know, like all time greats,

980
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,959
Speaker 3: and be like, man, these guys know like every trick

981
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 3: to the trade I've ever seen.

982
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been doing it since I've been you know,

983
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 2: starting out, he started watching football.

984
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 3: I mean, he's not much his rookie year, Beanie was

985
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 3: probably four, man, you know what I mean. I mean,

986
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 3: he's done his whole football life. Yeah.

987
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 2: Interesting. A little note on that making. Fitzpatrick's first career

988
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 2: interception came against Tom Brady.

989
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 3: Oh I thought you'd say Rogers, Okay, tom Brady. I

990
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 3: guess they were in the division together.

991
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're in the division together. So that's pretty cool.

992
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 3: When do that's not bad? Hang on to that ball

993
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 3: and tell your grandkids about it.

994
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 2: Absolutely, this one was in tom brady sands, then it

995
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 2: was in mine.

996
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. I took it from I took it from.

997
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 2: I took it from him. We're gonna get to a

998
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: break that's going to do it for our number one.

999
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: Here on the drive. Matt and I will be back

1000

Speaker 2: with our number two right after this
