1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I am Dale Lully.

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 2: He is Matt Williamson, and this is the Drive on

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 2: Steelers Nation Radio and Matt, as I mentioned in the

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: previous segment, here, we're gonna do the Fantasy.

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Football focus and we'll take a look at.

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: A single game, standalone tournament here using the captain's share.

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: And for people who don't know, we're gonna do this

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: on DraftKings. The captain's share, that player costs one and

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: a half times what he normally would and you can

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: use any play, you can use any player in that seat,

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: but you also get one and a half times the points.

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: So he's double valuable. He's the moneyball.

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: He's the moneyball everybody.

14
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: And then you get five flex players after that, so

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: you're picking six players from an individual game. And since

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: the Steelers are in a standalone game, we'll go ahead

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: and do that for this one. So just looking here

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 2: at the captain's chair.

19
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: A quick question. We don't do defense special teams with these,

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: do you?

21
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can use them. You can use them in

22
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: your captain's chare, use them in a flex spot. It

23
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: doesn't matter in fact, if you use them in the

24
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: captain's share like the Steelers defense in the captain's chair

25
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: would be eighty four hundred dollars.

26
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: We get fifty We get fifty thousand to spend.

27
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: The Steelers defense, as it's just a straight flex is

28
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: fifty six hundred dollars.

29
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so you see you see the differencer.

30
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: So looking at the captain's share, Derrick Henry is seventeen

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: four hundred dollars, so almost twenty percent.

32
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: That's pretty high.

33
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I get it. I knew he'd be number one,

34
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 3: but I don't think that's where I want to spend

35
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: that money.

36
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: Uh. DeAndre Hopkins is sixteen to eight. Will will Levis

37
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: is fourteen to four. Obviously, if you can get both

38
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: quarterbacks into the quarterbacks score more points.

39
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett is thirteen eight.

40
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: So I mean, just to reiterate, we don't even have

41
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: to start a quarterback. We don't have to. Yeah, we

42
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: can don't have both defenses. We can start three tight

43
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: ends and two defenses if we want.

44
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: We can start both defenses and both kickers if we

45
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: wanted to.

46
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, the kickers are in there too.

47
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: And I might add Titans games have the most field

48
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: goals in the league.

49
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: Okay that I kind of knew whether they are very

50
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: good at.

51
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: I think you had your stat package this year. There

52
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: have been thirty seven field goals in Titan games.

53
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: And they've all gone through the uprights.

54
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,559
Speaker 1: They've all gone through the uprights. But thirty thirty seven.

55
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 3: That's a ton yeah. And I also know that it kicks.

56
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah good.

57
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: Both kickers are definitely in play in this one.

58
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: That's not bad. I didn't even think about kickers. Okay,

59
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: fun okay.

60
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: So Chris Boswell, Chris Boswell in the captain's share of

61
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: seventy five hundred, okay, Nick Folk and the captain's share

62
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 2: sixty nine hundred, Okay, I like both those that would

63
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: allow us if we if we did that, we could

64
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: really pay play and you get one and a half

65
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: times the points and don't and fifty plus yard field

66
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: goals obviously are worth more more points as well.

67
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: Hm, that's not a bad. That would allows us to

68
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: get all these all the Sudds we want.

69
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: All the Studds you want, uh So, I said.

70
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: Picket was thirteen eight, George Pickens is thirteen to two,

71
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: Deontay Johnson is twelve to six in the captain's chair now.

72
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: You can stop. Let's stop there for a minute. Okay,

73
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: I think you said this in segment one today. I

74
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: one hundred percent agree, Deontay. Yeah, I think he has

75
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: to be in our lineup, whether or not Captain's chair

76
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 3: or not. I'll certainly defer to you. Do you think

77
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: that's the best way to use that money? Or is

78
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: it smarter to put a cheap guy in the captain's

79
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: share that you get double the return on, but just

80
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: not as many points, you know? But I just say

81
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 3: Johnson has to be somewhere in our lineup. I don't.

82
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't mind putting a twelve six isn't bad for

83
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: the captain?

84
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean because we are named five or six

85
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: that are above them. Yeah, right, he's not going to

86
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 3: be now.

87
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: Maybe because of that price point, he is more used

88
00:03:59,120 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: in the captain's share.

89
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't hate it at all.

90
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: No, again, especially if we're going to use one of

91
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: the two kickers, or even both of the kickers.

92
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: Later to say, I love the idea of using both

93
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: the kickers.

94
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: All right, So let's put Deontay Johnson in the captain share.

95
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: That still leaves us with thirty seven thousand, four hundred

96
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: to fill the other five spots. So do we want

97
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: to get Dereck Henry? Dereck Henry now is just a

98
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: straight flex play is eleven to six.

99
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: I almost prefer Hopkins for the money. Hopkins is eleven

100
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 3: to two. I would rather spend it on Hopkins than Henry.

101
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't have a problem with that, all right.

102
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: Levis is ninety six hundred, Picket is ninety two hundred.

103
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: If you want to go quarterback there, George Pickens is

104
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: eighty eight hundred, Nauji Harris seventy two hundred, Jaylen Warren

105
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: is sixty four hundred.

106
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: Do we want to plug one of the kickers in now?

107
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: I would say by plugging both the kickers in, I

108
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 3: mean you gotta play Boswell.

109
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 2: They're thirty first in points allowed to opposing kickers. Yeah,

110
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: they are giving up. I mean just a boatload of

111
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: points to opposing kickers. And we know Mike Foman will

112
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 2: try Boswell from anywhere.

113
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: No, I think he has to be in our lineup two.

114
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: So if we do that, putting Boswell in there at

115
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: five thousand, now you can average seven thousand dollars on

116
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: your remaining three players.

117
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: If we have Hopkins, Deontae and the captains Share and Boswell.

118
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: So far right, if you plug Nick Fulkan there or

119
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 2: the Titans defense is forty four hundred, the Steelers defense

120
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: is fifty six hundred.

121
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: I was thinking about the Steelers D. We've been talking

122
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: about sacks.

123
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 2: That puts you in under undervalue as well. Then you

124
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: can potentially get both quarterbacks in the game.

125
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 3: That's what that's funny. I was to say, if you

126
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: put the Steelers D in, can you get both quarterbacks?

127
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: We can average seventy eight hundred there, picket is ninety.

128
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: Now you can only get one doing that. Levis's ninety

129
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: six hundred. Picket is ninety two hundred.

130
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't like the idea of the Steeler D

131
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: being in there. If we truly think they're going to

132
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 3: get over four and a half sacks, that probably pays

133
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 3: for it right there.

134
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: If we plug Nick Folk in, we still have eleven

135
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 2: thousand left. We can't get there. That doesn't get us

136
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: to Derrick Henry. Okay, so who do we really I mean,

137
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: Chicken Clonquo is forty two hundred. Now, the Steelers have

138
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: done a great job on tight ends this year. They're

139
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: fourth best in the league against tight ends.

140
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: I was thinking about Hayward as well, like, is there

141
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: a sneaky guy?

142
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: Dalvin Austin is eighteen hundred.

143
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: He was the other name I was gonna bring up.

144
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 3: I mean, if he hits a bomb, yeah, I wish

145
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 3: he was playing more. Yeah, he does touch the ball

146
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: over the game.

147
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: Connor Hayward is twenty eight hundred. But Tennessee is second

148
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: against opposing tight ends this year. Maybe because they're so

149
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: easy to throw against to the outside. Maybe, And that

150
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: might be crackers aren't bad.

151
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: That might have been.

152
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: Currently buyered too.

153
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, good point.

154
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: Treylan Burks is thirty eight hundred. No, I love that.

155
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: No, the Titans defense is forty four hundred. I don't

156
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: love that either.

157
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: Spend again, we have fifteen to six to spend on

158
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: two players.

159
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: Ta J Spears is fifty four hundred.

160
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: I was about to say him too. I think he

161
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: will catch passes and might break a long.

162
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: One if we get If we plug.

163
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: Him and we have ten two to spend us, then

164
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: get that gets you Levis or picket either one. Levis

165
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: is for picket. Levis is more expensive. Yeah, I figured he.

166
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: Would be, but he could also get George Pickens there.

167
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,679
Speaker 3: Interesting, I mean they're so bad against outside receivers. Yeah,

168
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: what are you lean towards? I mean quarterbacks? You are

169
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: gonna get you more. You have a better baseline with

170
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: the quarterbacks. M if we do picket and shake, you said.

171
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: I have spears in there now spears?

172
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

173
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: But if we do that, we have a thousand dollars

174
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: left over.

175
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: What if we cashed in? Who could we go? Who

176
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: can we upgrade over spears to? What can we turn

177
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 3: spears into with that?

178
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: It's a sixty four hundred. We get us JLEB.

179
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: Warren. I'd rather have Warren than spears.

180
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going Steeler heavy there though.

181
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: I know, I mean, do we really think the Steelers

182
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: are put up thirty points?

183
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: That would be if we go.

184
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: If we take Johnson out of the captain's chair and

185
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: put him in as a.

186
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 3: Flex or, if we put bas in the captain's.

187
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: Chair, putting Boswell, putting Boswell in the captain's.

188
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: Chair, it's gonna open a lot of money, right.

189
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: That's gonna open up now for those last two spots,

190
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: we have sixteen to five.

191
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: That doesn't we get both quarterbacks.

192
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: It can get you let's see if we take we'd

193
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 2: have seventy three hundred remaining, we could get Nausee Harris

194
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: as the flex that doesn't I don't know. I love that,

195
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: not only either I put mister Bisky instead of.

196
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett.

197
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: I already have Kenny Pickett in, so we have So

198
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: let let's see if I plug in Levis there, who

199
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: did I take out? We have sixty nine hundred left,

200
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: and that again is Jaylen Warren. But that gets us

201
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: both quarterbacks.

202
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: Okay, can you you confuse me? And I bet the listeners?

203
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So by change by putting Boswell, okay, what I

204
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: don't have here then is Deontay Johnson anywhere?

205
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 3: Oh that's I don't like that. I don't like that,

206
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 3: so let's definitely put him in the main lineup.

207
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: Okay, let me see here, So Deontay Johnson is eighty

208
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: four hundred. We need to come up them with fifteen

209
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: hundred dollars. So if we take Levis back out, then

210
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 2: we can get again Naujie Harris. We're seven hundred dollars

211
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: short of getting George Pickens in the line. Let me

212
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: let's let's take the Steeler defense out of the equation.

213
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 2: Now if we if we want say a Pickens.

214
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 3: Or Tai J. Spears, Okay, good, if we put Ta J.

215
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 2: Spears in, he's slightly less, he's slightly cheaper than the

216
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: Steelers defense. That gives us eighty three hundred. We're still

217
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: not quite to George Pickens.

218
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: To Pickens. That's all been great. I kind of think

219
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: our best lineup was close to our original one though.

220
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too.

221
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna take Dante john Say, Deontay Johnson back

222
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: in the Captain's chair, Boz back in the lineup, Boswell

223
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: back in as a flex.

224
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: Steelers the.

225
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: Was in and I think we ended up breaking exactly

226
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: even with Warren.

227
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, we did well. We it gives us Yeah,

228
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: that's that's that's a zero. We have no money left.

229
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: So that would be Deontay Johnson, DeAndre Hopkins, Chris Boswell,

230
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: the Steelers defense, Jayalen Warren, and Kenny Pickett.

231
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 3: I think that's the best we could do.

232
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: We've only got one Titan in there.

233
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: No, now, I don't love that part, but.

234
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: We're very Steeler offense dependent, but also Steelers defense we've

235
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: got in there. So if true, if if we think

236
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: the Steelers are going to win this game. That's probably

237
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 2: the lineup.

238
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: To go with.

239
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 3: I think it's the lineup to go with. Okay, again

240
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: spoiler alert for the last.

241
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: We're doing a fifty to fifty here, so we only

242
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: have to finish in the top half.

243
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 3: It's like bos and Picket and Kickers give me a

244
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 3: pretty high floor.

245
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: Right Boswell is gonna Boswell have.

246
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 2: Seven or eight points in this game, and maybe one

247
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: of those is the fifty yarder mm hmm. And that's

248
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: just that's the floor.

249
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it would kill us, like if Picket didn't

250
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: finish the game, if he comes in and.

251
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: Well, that's what killed us last week. Yeah, of course, I.

252
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: Just say that because he is entering with an injury diagnosis,

253
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: I mean designation, you know.

254
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Right right right well, and so is Hopkins for that matter.

255
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: But basic, Yeah, I wonder if people will shy away

256
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: from Pickets. Maybe maybe they will, Maybe they will I

257
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 3: can see that.

258
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: Okay, So we got we got Deontay Johnson in the

259
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: captain's share at twelve six. We've got the uh Deontay Johnson.

260
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: We got the on Hopkins at eleven to two. In

261
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 2: a flex, we got Chris boswat five thousand in the flex.

262
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 2: We got the Steelers defense at fifty six hundred into flex,

263
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: Jaylen Warren at sixty four hundred in a flex, and

264
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: then Kenny Pickett at ninety two hundred in a flex spot. Okay,

265
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: our Boswell is averaging eight point one points per game

266
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: this year.

267
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean that one. If he does his average,

268
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 3: we're happy, right, Yeah, we'll be We'll be fine. Yeah. Yeah.

269
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: The Steelers defenses.

270
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: Steelers defense is averaging ten point four points per game

271
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: this year. Like, I've scored a couple of touchdowns, like there,

272
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: they score, They get sacks every game, they get turnovers, so.

273
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 3: I think the sacks are gonna definitely come. Yeah, I'm

274
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: gonna lock it in. That's a pretty good start. Okay, Yeah,

275
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: I think it's a good one locked in.

276
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll see how that one goes here.

277
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, what's weird about that one compared to our

278
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 3: normal one when you have a huge slate. In a way,

279
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 3: we kind of settled for Warren, you know, because it

280
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: was what's the most we can get with what's left

281
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: in the bank, right right. I don't know that I'd

282
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: have gone out of my way to add Warren but

283
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 3: I bet that's always true when you do a single

284
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: game one that your last spot is just kind.

285
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 2: Of unless you unless you really have a feel for

286
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: a dart throw, like a guy who's really cheap that

287
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: you think is going to outperform that price. But then

288
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: by that same token, if you feel that way, you

289
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: probably plug him in earlier so you can get a

290
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: more expensive guy, right.

291
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: Right, Like if you were practice all week, going, hey,

292
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 3: this is going to be a Miles Boykin game, like.

293
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: Right right, Yeah, But it's just this this particular format

294
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: in daily fantasy, it's just because you don't have to

295
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: use a quarterback.

296
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: You don't.

297
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: It's not it's not position specific, So it does it

298
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: does give you more options. Yeah, it gives you more

299
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: and if you get, you get.

300
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. And you know, if you won or lost three

301
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: hours after kickoff, you know, like.

302
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Usually you may know by halftime.

303
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: You know, if Deontay Johnson goes out there and goes off,

304
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: you're in pretty good shape. If Deander you know, the

305
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: guys that you have in the lineup score touchdowns, you're golden.

306
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. But that's a quick, easy way to do.

307
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: It, let's face it. I mean, especially in today's NFL.

308
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: You get a couple of touchdowns in the first half

309
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: of one of these games in a single game format,

310
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: I mean you're probably only looking at maybe three or

311
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: four touchdowns in the game, right right, so you you

312
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: probably get a good chance to finish in the money.

313
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: I mean, if by chance they have a defensive score.

314
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 3: Oh wow, forget about it, right right?

315
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

316
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely, So, Yeah, that's interesting. We haven't I don't know

317
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: if we've done that one before. We've done it a

318
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: couple of times, maybe for a Monday night game or

319
00:15:59,120 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: something like that.

320
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: I think we did it for the Super Bowl and yeah,

321
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: things like yeah, yeah.

322
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: So just a different way to look at it.

323
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: We'll still do our regular lineup, our regular fantasy lineup

324
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: on Friday when we get to that point. Just to

325
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: remind everybody, we won't have a show tomorrow because it's

326
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: game day. So we'll be back here after a break

327
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,080

00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: Today's question.

350
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: Mike, Mike Wallace or Antoine Randall l the longest reception

351
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: in a Steelers game against the Titans.

352
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: I'll go with Randall l.

353
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: U.

354
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I'm.

355
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: Not going to say anything, but yeah.

356
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,120
Speaker 3: Anyways, the Costanza approach, whatever says.

357
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: The opposite day.

358
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, the Ian chats question for Thursday, Steelers total

359
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 2: defensive sacks over under three and a half.

360
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: Oh, I like you over there. I like the over

361
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 3: on that. Yeah. I like the over on that a

362
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 3: lot quite a bit.

363
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and here this will be the reason why.

364
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: So we'll get as we do often here, teams the

365
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 2: Steelers haven't faced in a while or don't face often.

366
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at that Titans roster.

367
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's definitely do that. So familiar with some

368
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 3: of them, you know?

369
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so a wide receiver, you got de Andandre Hopkins.

370
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: Everybody's familiar with him.

371
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: Treylon Burke's for twenty twenty two first round draft pick

372
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: hasn't done a lot. Uh No, Nick Westbrook a kin

373
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 2: a kind of a big, size speed guy. Then you

374
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: had Chris Moore, Kyle Phillips. As you mentioned last week,

375
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: they played all those guys a lot a lot.

376
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. So are we saying would rather the Steelers or them?

377
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: Is that what we're doing here? Yeah, I'll take the

378
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 3: Steelers over that group. I'm not even sure Hopkins is

379
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: the best receiver in this game. I probably would give

380
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: him that honor, But I think the top three are

381
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 3: all pretty close. Books is a big, physical run after

382
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 3: the catch guy, but is very much a work.

383
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: In progress, A distant a distant fourth.

384
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yeah, Westbrook Keyne might be a better player

385
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 3: than him right.

386
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: Now, right, that's definitely debatable.

387
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: And yeah yeah on the offensive line, Yeah, this is

388
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: this is troublesome, really bad.

389
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you got this is what it looks like.

390
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: They're gonna line up with tomorrow Andre Dillard at left tackle.

391
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 3: They gave him big money, not big money, but starting

392
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: tackle money after doing nothing with the Eagles.

393
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: Peter Skeronsky at left guard, Eron Aaron Brewer at center,

394
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: Daniel Brunskill at right guard, and Nicholas petit Frere at

395
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: right tackle because Chris Hubbard is out.

396
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and frankly, we know what Hubbard is. I mean,

397
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: Hubbard's ideally a sixth.

398
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: Guy, right, and he's there on this line.

399
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: He might be their second best guy high I mean,

400
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 3: not as he's starting tackle, but he might be their

401
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: second best player in the line.

402
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: He's certainly certainly important because typically petit Frere is lined

403
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: up at the left tackle, I believe and they I

404
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: think he's bound back and forth over he's like last

405
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 2: week he started at left tackle, Dillard was on the

406
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: bench yes, yes, yes, okay, and Hubbard was starting at

407
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 2: right tackle. When Hubbard got hurt, they bumped Petit Frere

408
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 2: over to right tackle and then had to play Dillard,

409
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: who's been awful this year.

410
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: He's given bros. He's giving up nine sacks this.

411
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: Year and more than a sack of game for a team.

412
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: That doesn't throw the ball all that much.

413
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: No, and when they do that they hold it to

414
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 3: go deep a lot. But still he's he was bad

415
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 3: at the Eagles. He couldn't started for them. They gave

416
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 3: him starter money despite him not being a starter. They

417
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 3: also still have Dylan Raduns, who has been a bust.

418
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: Is a second round pick too. I mean, is he

419
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 3: a guard? Is he a tackle? He looks like he's neither.

420
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Steelers have I give them the advantage on

421
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: the offensive line, clearly.

422
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 3: I mean, and that's not even talking well about Steelers.

423
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: This is maybe the least talented line. This is all

424
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 3: about Tennessee's offensive line. Yeah, yeah, they're really rough, and

425
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: I think Scrotsky's gonna be great, But that's one you

426
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 3: know at tight end.

427
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: They've got Chicken kwonk Wo, Trayvon Westco, and Kevin Raider.

428
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: Josh Wiley is hurt.

429
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, people remember Raiders. Okay, third guy, he played a

430
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: fair amount this past week. West goes big. He's like, yeah,

431
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 3: he's like ore to seventy big blocking tight end. Yeah,

432
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 3: did some fullback stuff at West Virginia. I still have

433
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 3: a soft spot for Chig, but he's been underachieving in

434
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: terms of production this year. Yeah.

435
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they just I mean, I don't know.

436
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: Obviously, the Steelers do not have Pat Fryermouth in this game,

437
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: which makes it nat It's kind.

438
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 3: Of a I have to say I'm gonna give it

439
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 3: to the Titans because I don't think they're gonna get many.

440
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I think Chig we would put ahead a

441
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: kword right now? Is the receiver moved tight end. I

442
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: think west Go is really good at blocking, which isn't

443
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 3: that sexy, But I'll take him over Washington as my

444
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 3: blocker right now.

445
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. At quarterback, well, it's Will Levis and Malik Willis.

446
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: Right, so it's a Levis wirtht picket. Yeah. I think

447
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: it's pretty safe to say Kenny's gonna start. Pretty safe

448
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 3: to say, Levis is gonna start. You have to give

449
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 3: it the picket, right, you have to. Yeah, he's played

450
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: one more games. Yeah, yeah, that's one game.

451
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: Wait, I say, way more games. He's made twenty.

452
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

453
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 2: And then at running back is Derek Henry and ty

454
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: Jay Spers. Only two running backs they.

455
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: Have on a roster.

456
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 3: That's strange, isn't it. Yeah, and they use them both.

457
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 3: I mean, like, if one gets hurt, the other one has.

458
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 2: To really play a lot of a lot of snaps.

459
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 3: I don't think they have a Connor Hayward type that

460
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 3: could even get them out.

461
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: No, I don't think they do either, unless you, you know,

462
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: you want to try to run Westco and I don't

463
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 2: think that works.

464
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: But He's he runs.

465
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess technically they could use Willis.

466
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 3: But I guess, yeah, but that's odd. They should pick

467
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 3: somebody up.

468
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: I get to the Titans, I think you have to

469
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: because of I mean, Henry's you know, just.

470
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 3: He might not be what he used to be, but

471
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 3: out of respect, he's still well above average back.

472
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 2: I do have their injury report here, oh kay? And

473
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: Hubbard is out, not surprising, he's coming back from the concussion.

474
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: Tanny Hill is out. Roger McCreery is out. That's kind

475
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: of a big blow for them. Yeah, and then safety

476
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 2: Mike Safety Mike Brown is out despite being a full

477
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: participant all week long, which is strange.

478
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 3: I don't know about him.

479
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins is actually questionable. He did not participate today.

480
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 3: Wow.

481
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: If that's if that stays that way, if that doesn't

482
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 2: have like we're gonna have to pivot with our fantasy

483
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: lineup that we just did.

484
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: If he is not.

485
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: Out, obviously we'll we'll we'll take him out.

486
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: I mean, then what do we do we go to?

487
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: Do we try to go to.

488
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: Maybe I would say Levis, but if Levis doesn't have Hopkins, Yeah, yeah, right,

489
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 3: I don't know about the whole thing, to be Steelers,

490
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 3: maybe Henry.

491
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that we can afford Henry.

492
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: I could, I could maybe finangle some things and try

493
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: to get Henry in a lineup, But.

494
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would recommend if Hopkins doesn't play, try to

495
00:24:53,440 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: get Warren out, Hopkins out, Henry in somebody.

496
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, just just cheaper than Warren.

497
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, that's that's.

498
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 3: Not that would be brutal for the Titans though.

499
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely on the defensive side, of things.

500
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: Uh, you've got a defensive end, uh de Nico Autry,

501
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: who's an underrated player.

502
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 3: He's not a typical d end. He's not a Stase

503
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 3: young pin your ears back guy. He's a pretty big dude.

504
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: He's a big They got they're they're big across the front.

505
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 2: They play three four as well. But there's three there. Yeah,

506
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: there are three guys. Are this is apples to apples?

507
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 3: Really? Yeah? I guess so. So these these are the

508
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 3: the three d lineman you're gonna target here, right, So

509
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 3: you've got Autry to your tart and Jeffrey Simmons backed

510
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 3: up by nak Wan Jones, Kyle Peko and Jalil Johnson.

511
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 3: It's definitely the Titans. Yeah, Simmons.

512
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 2: I mean, the Steelers don't have anybody right now who

513
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 2: is equal anywhere near Simmons.

514
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 3: Right. Frankly, if Hayward were there, I still might give

515
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: it to the Titans. I mean, I think Simmons is

516
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 3: one of the few guys I would put ahead of

517
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 3: Hayward right now. Autres are really good too, I mean,

518
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: like I think might be better than Okujobi parts an

519
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 3: underrated nose, yeah, I mean's nose.

520
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, true, run stuffer, though he won't be on the field. Yeah,

521
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: he won't be on the passing downs. Correct, Because I

522
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 2: don't like the Steelers plays so much.

523
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: Eleven, I might not see much of them.

524
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: You might not see much tir Tart.

525
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: No, you might be worried about that. I don't like

526
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 3: their depth though, I mean.

527
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: No, then those guys are just they've only got six.

528
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 2: It's only got They've only got six three hundred pounders

529
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 2: on their on their you know, we've seen that in

530
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 2: the past with the Steelers. They've gone to seven the

531
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: last few years just to have that extra body. And

532
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: it makes a difference.

533
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 3: Oh, it definitely makes a difference.

534
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 2: Especially because if somebody gets nicked up during a game

535
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, you're down to five and

536
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: outside linebacker, you've got Old Landry and you've got Ardent Key,

537
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: Travis Gibson backing them up, Rashad Weaver, the former pit

538
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 2: player backing them up. Obviously, the Steelers have a big

539
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 2: advantage here.

540
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 3: They do. I'd say Key and Landry are both very

541
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 3: good players, though I mean their quality, they're good.

542
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 2: Neither one of them are Smith's better than both high

543
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: Smith's better than both of those guys.

544
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yes, absolutely.

545
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 2: And insidelinebacker Jack Gibbons, Aziz al Shaher backed up by

546
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: Luke Gifford and Monty Rice.

547
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 3: Al Shaher was one of my favorite. Yeah, the off

548
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: the ball targets this free agency period, there's a lot

549
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 3: of them out there. I thought this was a great

550
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 3: signing by Tennessee, but I don't know a whole heck

551
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 3: of a lot about Jack Gibbons. So I'm giving this

552
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 3: as Steelers. I'm gonna go Steelers on that one as well.

553
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: I just think, yeah, without McCreary in the lineup, you're

554
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 2: looking at cornerback at Sean Murphy, Bunning and Christian Fulton,

555
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 2: I would guess I think is it Tray Avery that

556
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 2: would then bump to the slot.

557
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: Probably real quick. Jack Gibbons is an undrafted free agent.

558
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: I mean this year or that last year, last year,

559
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: I should say last year. He's about back and forth

560
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: off practice squads, but not ideal. No, I'm sorry, I

561
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 3: wasn't paying atention. What did you say about the corners?

562
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: So, yeah, Sean Murphy, Bunning and Christian Fulton, and without

563
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 2: Roger McCreery, I believe Trey Avery bumps into the slot

564
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 2: or is it Eric Garrier.

565
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: I know Murphy Bunting is capable.

566
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: That's kind of what he is.

567
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, because who was who was a dude from Virginia

568
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 3: Farley they drafted I think with the thought of he's

569
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: only an outside guy and he's like barely seen field,

570
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: he's heard with us, he's always been hurt. Yeah, and

571
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: I think Murphy bunning was signed to be the nickel, right, Okay,

572
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: Fulton's a decent player. Murphy Budding is a decent player.

573
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: If we're not going to count McCreary, I think I

574
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: still fork give it to the Titans. I don't think

575
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 3: it's a great set of corners, but it's close. I mean,

576
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: none of these dudes are Pro bowlers.

577
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it to the Steelers because at least

578
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: their guys take the ball away.

579
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: That's big.

580
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: And these guys, these guys don't. Their corners don't. Nobody

581
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 2: on their defense takes the ball away.

582
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 3: I know, it's a real problem, especially the way they play.

583
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: They want to be like Jacksonville, but they don't take

584
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: the ball away.

585
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: Like Jacksonville, Right, they just don't. Yeah, Uh, it's safety.

586
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: You look, you got Elijah Moulten and he's the free

587
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: and Amani Hooker who is the strong They traded for

588
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: Terrell Edmands as part of the the deal with Philadelphia

589
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: when they were when they send buyered out.

590
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: It's kind of a wash. Yeah without in there with

591
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 3: Maka Stephanie Steelers of course. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna

592
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: give it to the Titans just because a Moni Hooker

593
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: is a very solid starting safety. You know, like I

594
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: don't know if Kaz and Neil will be you know,

595
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: starters a year or two from now for anybody, you know.

596
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 3: I mean, they're fine, but they're not. Hooker is the

597
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: best of the group. Okay, uh yeah, punters, Ryan, these

598
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 3: secondaries aren't exactly blowing you away.

599
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: No, no, uh the punters Ryan Stonehouse.

600
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 3: Who's been a he's awesome by the way. Yeah, now,

601
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 3: he was like one of the most fun things to

602
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: watch that game.

603
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: I did see this, So this was in the Elite

604
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: stat package Tennessee. This is something to keep an eye on.

605
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: The Titans this year have allowed him to be pressured

606
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: on punts like for forty plus percent of the time.

607
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: I've never even heard that stat of pressure.

608
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: It's next, Yeah, next, gen.

609
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 2: Stat teams have come close to blocking one on him. Okay,

610
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: so keep an eye on that because as we know,

611
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: Danny Smith's pretty good at that.

612
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

613
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 3: So it's killerbrew of course. And yeah makes me happier

614
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: to have a Steeler d in our fantasy lineup too.

615
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just looking to see if I can find

616
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: that when you're under Ryan stone House. Okay, it's not

617
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: forty percent, but it's Ryan Stonehouse has been pressured on

618
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: nineteen point four percent of his punt attempts this season.

619
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 3: That's the highest in the NFL.

620
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: By a lot. Okay, it's nineteen nineteen point four percent.

621
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: The next closest guy is fifteen point four percent.

622
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 3: Wow, Okay, it's good to though. I mean, it's just

623
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 3: something to keep an eye on. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And

624
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 3: then that could be one of your keys.

625
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nick Folk is the kicker. They do use ty J.

626
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: Spears as a kick returner.

627
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: But you could take those guys out of the game.

628
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 2: Mm hm, No, I'll take the Steelers specialist, so yeah,

629
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: I will too. And an air garer is he returns

630
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: punts for them as well as does Kyle Phillips.

631
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 3: So okay, Phillips is like the typical slot welker type guy,

632
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 3: but he's not nearly his dynamic.

633
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: Now, speaking of special teams, one thing that that Vrabel

634
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: will do is he'll roll the dice on special teams

635
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: fourth and one or fourth and two, and it doesn't

636
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 2: matter where it's at on the field, he'll go for it.

637
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. I could say.

638
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 2: They fake punt last week again against Atlanta inside their

639
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: own twenty.

640
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think he realizes that they're a little talent

641
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 3: starved and they have to go about things a little

642
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 3: differently to move football.

643
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: So if they try that in this game and you

644
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 2: sniff it out, you get to they try inside your thirty.

645
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: This was early in the game too. This wasn't late

646
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: in the game. This was like opening their first pun

647
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: of the game. They faced he's an aggressive guy and

648
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 2: went to the up back and he gained the yard.

649
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: But if you don't get that, you've really set the

650
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: opposing team up pretty well. So, uh, special teams, special

651
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 2: team is going to be a big key in this game.

652
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good to know, as is the punt pressure thing.

653
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: So maybe there is a big play on special teams.

654
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so we'll see if that that comes to

655
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: fruition anyway, we're gonna get to another break.

656
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: When we come back. Matt, it's time to make our

657
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: game picks.

658
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm in, You're in, I'm in. We're all in

659
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: back with more right after this on the drive. Welcome back.

660
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: I am Dale Lolly. He is Matt Williamson. And we've

661
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: been talking a lot of Steelers and Titans here obviously,

662
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 2: because that's the that's the game we're going to cover here,

663
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: and it's a standalone game on a Thursday. Gotta love that, Matt.

664
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: The Steelers favor by three in this game. The over

665
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 2: under just thirty six and a half.

666
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think. I think it's gonna go over.

667
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: That's a very that's a real low total.

668
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean I wouldn't be blown away. If

669
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 3: there's a defense or special team score. I think they'll

670
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: be defensive special teams splash, you know, sacks and picks,

671
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 3: especially from the Steelers side. I have my score handy.

672
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 3: I'm sure you do too. You want to go first?

673
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 2: Actually I really haven't thought up of a score yet

674
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: for this one, but I will as I talked this through.

675
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 2: I do think, I do think the Steelers are going

676
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 2: to get pressure on the quarterback here. I think they're

677
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 2: going to get after Levis and I think that's gonna

678
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: be a problem for him. I don't think Atlanta did

679
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: that enough last week, and I think it hurt them.

680
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: You can't allow a young quarterback just to sit back

681
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 2: there and make plays like that. He doesn't know what

682
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: he doesn't know. You know, if you're just gonna let

683
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: him stand back there and throw like it's a seven

684
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: on seven drill, you're gonna be in trouble. But I

685
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 2: do think the Steelers will pressure him. I look at

686
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 2: the Titans in their wins and losses this year, they've

687
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 2: they've they've been interesting here. So they lost sixteen to

688
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 2: fifteen in Week one at New Orleans, they lost twenty

689
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 2: seven to three at Cleveland in Week three, they lost

690
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 2: twenty three sixteen in Week five at Indianapolis. The sense

691
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 2: of trend here, they haven't won a road game this year, right,

692
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 2: and in those road games they haven't broken sixteen points.

693
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's going to be in that

694
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 3: neighborhood too.

695
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the Steelers, so looking at the d Okay,

696
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: so they scored fifteen against New Orleans. New Orleans got

697
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: a good defense, they do, they do. That was also

698
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: with Tannehill. They scored three points at Cleveland. Cleveland has

699
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 2: a good defense at that point. They also had a

700
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 2: quarterback who was actually playing at Indianapolis scoring sixteen points.

701
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 2: Colts defense is okay, fine, yeah, yeah, it's not great,

702
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 2: you know. So their other loss was to the Baltimore Ravens.

703
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: They lost that one twenty four to sixteen. That was

704
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: cross the Pond, so essentially a road game for them,

705
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: even though it was actually a home game. So they

706
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 2: haven't broken sixteen points in any of the any time

707
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 2: that they've gotten on a plane this year.

708
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 3: Wow, I didn't know that untill just now. But interesting

709
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 3: so and now even a new quarterback that's ever played

710
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 3: a road game.

711
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,959
Speaker 2: Right, you know, and their wins they've gotten twenty seven,

712
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 2: twenty seven, and twenty eight.

713
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: I don't see them getting there in this game. I

714
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 3: don't see them getting the high twenties.

715
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: No, I don't just don't see that happening. I think

716
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 2: the Steelers will come out and throw the ball effectively.

717
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: I think Pikett will be fine. I think the defense,

718
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 2: Steelers defense will get after the young quarterback and force

719
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: him into a couple of mistakes. The Steelers have been

720
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: very good at whatever their issues have been. They do

721
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 2: take the ball away pretty.

722
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: Consistently, Yes, and so a couple of those.

723
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they do that in this game. And

724
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 2: I've got the Steelers winning this one.

725
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: Matt twenty four.

726
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 2: Let's say twenty four to sixteen, since that seems to

727
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 2: be a magic number for the Titans.

728
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 3: Interesting, I have a twenty.

729
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: Thing that would be over so yeah, yeah, I have.

730
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 3: A twenty three seventeen, so we're one point away on

731
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 3: both sides. I didn't know that sixteen stat. But I'm

732
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 3: assuming Hopkins is gonna play. I'm assuming he's gonna cause

733
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 3: problems and probably may come down with a couple of

734
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 3: big balls. Levis will probably make misshare mistakes more than

735
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 3: he did last week. But Henry's still there and he's

736
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 3: hard to get on the ground. And I do think

737
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 3: that they can get the seventeen against the Steelers. I

738
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 3: don't know that they'll break twenty. I don't think that

739
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 3: they can get in that neighborhood. But I think that

740
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 3: Pickett and especially Pickens and Johnson should all have big games.

741
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 3: I mean, especially Johnson and Pickens. I mean like I

742
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 3: want them in my fantasy lineup, I think they should

743
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 3: beat up on the secondary. I think the Steeler passing

744
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 3: game really has no excuse if they don't play per

745
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 3: darn well, you know, especially fired out of the equation.

746
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other thing is interesting about this game, Matt,

747
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 2: and you had this in your staff packages.

748
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: Both of these teams like to play slow.

749
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 3: There's not gonna be a lot of plays. I was

750
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 3: about to say that too. Yeah, the titles games are

751
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: the fewest amount of plays of any team this year,

752
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 3: and the Steelers are pretty low as well, you know,

753
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 3: so that's probably contributing to the over under. I mean, Vegas,

754
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 3: of course, is on top of those things. I don't

755
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 3: know that either team will run great, but I would

756
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: bet the Titans at the end of the day are

757
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 3: more successful running than the Steelers. But I think the

758
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 3: Steelers passing game will be noticeably better. And I think

759
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 3: that the defensive splash will really really favorite Pittsburgh. Not

760
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 3: to mention the short week and home field advantage and

761
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 3: those type of things.

762
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I want to Maybe I should go twenty three,

763
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: since that would be then three field goals and two touchdowns.

764
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 2: Since they are a pretty good defense. I mean, they

765
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 2: think they're number one in the league in the red zone. Yeah,

766
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 2: we've seen the Steelers, however, just skip going over the

767
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 2: red zone, skip going through the red zone, and hit

768
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 2: some long touchdown passes this season, So keep an eye

769
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 2: on that as well.

770
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: That was my logic with twenty three. It was two touchdowns,

771
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 3: three field goals.

772
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna style stick with twenty four. We'll stick

773
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 2: with that, but pretty similar we are once again, but

774
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 2: we both think the Steelers come out of this with

775
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 2: a win. I guess we'll find out tomorrow whether that happens.

776
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 2: Of course, you can tune in. Tim Benz and I

777
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 2: will be on four hours before the game, so you're

778
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: looking at about a I don't know if it's four

779

Speaker 2: or four thirty start. I'll have to find that out,

780
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: but sometime in that time range, we'll do the warm

781
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 2: up show on WDVE and then that'll lead into the

782

Speaker 2: regular pregame show. You can hear Matt and myself on

792
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 2: It's time to we'll see some separation here, maybe across

793
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 2: the league, and maybe the Steelers can do that a

794
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,719
