Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and
Speaker 1: Gold SNR Steelers Nation Radio.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, I'm Dale Lollie.
Speaker 3: He is Matt Williamson and Matt.
Speaker 1: We were just talking about the Browns offensive issues, their
Speaker 1: DVOA and the quarterback problems that they may have or
Speaker 1: maybe they don't. I mean again, I like the Shawan
Speaker 1: Watson as a player, maybe not so much off the
Speaker 1: field stuff, but I.
Speaker 2: Don't know that he can regain what he once was.
Speaker 2: We'll see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, so I'm looking at the Steelers here.
Speaker 1: So last year again, I'm going to go back to DVA.
Speaker 1: They finished eighteenth in total offensive dv OA. This perfect
Speaker 1: footballside in fourteenth and weighted offensive DVA over the course
Speaker 1: of the entire season. Yeah, but if you look at
Speaker 1: the offensive DVA from week ten on, the Steelers were
Speaker 1: tenth in offensive DVA in the league.
Speaker 3: Interesting, you know, So.
Speaker 1: You know, when you start talking about what you know,
Speaker 1: is this Steelers offense going to be better in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three than it was last year? You look at it, Well,
Speaker 1: they still only averaged eighteen point one points per game.
Speaker 1: And it was it was fourteen points going into that.
Speaker 1: They were averaging fourteen points a game going into that
Speaker 1: Week ten game, and it ended up, you know, over
Speaker 1: those final seven games, they ended up averaging right around
Speaker 1: twenty one points a game, so a full touchdown.
Speaker 3: Better, which huge progress obviously, which.
Speaker 2: Is huge progress.
Speaker 1: I mean, if they made that kind of jump this year,
Speaker 1: you'd be like, oh, you'd be a static.
Speaker 2: Now I don't expect.
Speaker 3: That, right, I mean, that's two huge jumps. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's yeah, prayer in this league.
Speaker 1: The difference here for the steel last year, while they
Speaker 1: were that high in overall DVOA offensively, they were twenty
Speaker 1: fourth in red zone touchdown percentage last year fifty one
Speaker 1: point nine percent yep, yep.
Speaker 2: But they were sixteenth in total red zone trips.
Speaker 3: Interesting, okay, they had.
Speaker 1: Fifty two red zone trips, which was league average basically
Speaker 1: at sixteen. So if you if you get the league
Speaker 1: average in terms of the sixteenth best team in terms
Speaker 1: of touchdown scoring percentage last year, was it fifty five
Speaker 1: point six percent. So all they need to do is
Speaker 1: improve their their red zone percentage by five percent basically
Speaker 1: four percent really, and you're.
Speaker 2: You're you know middle of the pack in terms of scoring. There.
Speaker 1: Add in the fact that they missed a league high
Speaker 1: ten field goals last year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about that a lot, and that's doubtful
Speaker 3: to happen again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it's if you knock that down, if you
Speaker 1: cut that in half.
Speaker 2: Which is certainly doable.
Speaker 1: Chris Boswell, over the course of his career as a
Speaker 1: about a ninety percent kicker.
Speaker 2: He missed eight field goals last year.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The other two, the other guys they brought in missed
Speaker 1: two more. Okay, Like, so if that happens, you're going
Speaker 1: to score more points than you did a year ago.
Speaker 3: The fact that you're getting to the red zone is promising.
Speaker 3: I always thought about EPA, and you mentioned where they
Speaker 3: were at. I just want to go back two or
Speaker 3: three minutes. You mentioned from week ten on they were
Speaker 3: what offense was tenth in DVOA. Yeah, an EPA, they
Speaker 3: were fourth, only behind Kansas City, the Lions and the Niners,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like, so anyway you cut it,
Speaker 3: it was really it was quite good, you know, I mean,
Speaker 3: And is that sustainable? They're gonna be a top five offense?
Speaker 3: I doubt it to be very honest with you, I
Speaker 3: think we're I read an article this week basically recapping
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett's rookie year, and there's some bad you know,
Speaker 3: but their red zone passing was near the top of
Speaker 3: the list of problem areas, which, folks, every rookie quarterback
Speaker 3: has it, Trevor Lawrence of the year before, blah blah blah,
Speaker 3: blah blah. But I kind of dug up an interesting
Speaker 3: nugget too, because I didn't realize they made that many
Speaker 3: red zone trips until you just said it. But Kenny
Speaker 3: only threw forty seven passes in the red zone. Nineteen
Speaker 3: quarterbacks had more pass attempts in the red zone. And
Speaker 3: remember how injured the league was last year, right right,
Speaker 3: Kenny had forty seven Pat mahomes led the league and
Speaker 3: threw one hundred and nineteen passes in the red zone.
Speaker 2: Now, they had a lot more red zone trips.
Speaker 3: They were probably led the league in red zone trips.
Speaker 3: But Kenny's touchdown numbers when you only throw forty seven
Speaker 3: passes in the red zone aren't going to be high.
Speaker 3: And they really had a hard time scoring from without
Speaker 3: outside the red zone this year, you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 3: opportunities for him to pad his pass stats as you
Speaker 3: might think, I mean forty seven passing attempts in the
Speaker 3: red zone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just looking at it here. Now. The Chiefs
Speaker 2: had led the NFL with seventy two red zone trips.
Speaker 3: Okay, that doesn't shock me at all.
Speaker 1: They were fifty if they had a sixty nine point
Speaker 1: four red zone touchdown percentage. Okay, So okay, I mean
Speaker 1: you know that's you're not going to get to that, right,
Speaker 1: but if you can get you know, so for example,
Speaker 1: Denver was dead last with thirty six. As I mentioned,
Speaker 1: the Steelers had fifty two, so they were right in
Speaker 1: the middle basically at fifty two between you know, sixteen
Speaker 1: more than Denver, sixteen less than Kansas City.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But again, so if you get to.
Speaker 1: You know, that mid range, you know, you keep your
Speaker 1: you should be better offensively this year if you can
Speaker 1: get that red zone percentage up to I don't know,
Speaker 1: if you can get sixty trips inside the red zone,
Speaker 1: and I say sixty sixties A.
Speaker 2: Lot, a lot. There were only five off defences last
Speaker 2: year had sixty or more.
Speaker 3: So I'm harping on Kenny a lot with this because
Speaker 3: it's fresh on my mind, is what I just wrote about.
Speaker 3: So the team had fifty two red zone appearances. Now
Speaker 3: he wasn't the quarterback on all fifty two, of course, right,
Speaker 3: but he still only threw forty seven passes in those
Speaker 3: fifty two attempts. And I get it because he frankly
Speaker 3: was very bad at it. I mean, he only completed
Speaker 3: forty three percent of his passes from twenty yards and in.
Speaker 3: And he also only completed forty three of his passes
Speaker 3: from ten and in, but that still was only on
Speaker 3: forty seven pass attempts. Now, he almost has to get
Speaker 3: better there, you know. I mean, if he can get
Speaker 3: to a fifty five percent completion percentage in the red
Speaker 3: zone where it's harder to complete passes, then that's going
Speaker 3: to result in a lot more points per game. I mean,
Speaker 3: there's this, no doubt about it. And what do you
Speaker 3: think he's working on right now? You know? I mean
Speaker 3: he knows he wasn't great in the red zone. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and the stillers know he wasn't great in the red zone.
Speaker 3: So you go get Washington and Robinson, who are red
Speaker 3: zone guys, you know.
Speaker 2: What, big guys, right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, so people might just for for comparison's sakes,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. When you're talking about the fifty percent completion percentage,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes inside the twenty last year, in his one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three attempts.
Speaker 3: Bet at ridiculous completed.
Speaker 1: Fifty percent of his fifty nine point three percent of
Speaker 1: his passes. It's much more difficult down there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was miraculous, and he had Kelsey and
Speaker 3: some of them. I'm not giving Pat Mahomes a hard time,
Speaker 3: but anyone who plays fantasy knows he has five touchdown
Speaker 3: a year on shovel passes that you and I could complete. Yeah, right,
Speaker 3: that gets credit for you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 3: they count his receptions and touchdown throats.
Speaker 1: You know, so some of the other guys who some
Speaker 1: of the guys who actually I'm only going to use
Speaker 1: the guys who threw forty or more passes. Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: was at sixty five point almost sixty six percent. Wow,
Speaker 1: inside the red zone. He had eleven touchdowns and one
Speaker 1: interception down there. Now, remember when we talked about the
Speaker 1: Saints the other day, Juwan Johnson had seven touchdown catches
Speaker 1: your tight end, Yeah, yeah, Dak Prescott sixty five point
Speaker 1: three sixty five point three percent completion percentage down there,
Speaker 1: thirty two to forty nine.
Speaker 2: What did they use? Tight end? Dalton Schultz had a
Speaker 2: bunch of touchdowns.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ceedee, Lambs will go up and get a guy too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones was at sixty three point four percent completion
Speaker 1: percentage in the red zone. He had six He had
Speaker 1: twelve touchdowns on forty one attempts.
Speaker 3: That one doesn't add up to me considering his receivers.
Speaker 3: But good for Daniel, Yeah, good for him.
Speaker 2: Tua Tua was sixty three percent to over sixty is
Speaker 2: really good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins was the only other Kirk Cousins and Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo the only other two quarterbacks who were over sixty percent.
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers was right at sixty okay.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, if you're a sixty percent passer
Speaker 3: in today's NFL, for every one of your snaps that's
Speaker 3: frowned upon that used to be, Wow, that guy's completing
Speaker 3: more than he misses. Well in the red zone. It's
Speaker 3: a much different animal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: So for okay, So like Justin Herbert, he had twenty
Speaker 1: touchdown passes in the red zone, he completed fifty eight
Speaker 1: percent of his passes. Joe Burrow had twenty four touchdown
Speaker 1: passes in the red zone he had he had he
Speaker 1: completed fifty eight point seven percent of his passes. So
Speaker 1: if you can get down, you know, and getting here,
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's at fifty three point five percent.
Speaker 3: Wow. Okay, So again, if he can get that number up,
Speaker 3: which I think it only is going to go up. Now,
Speaker 3: is he going to lead the league? Is he going
Speaker 3: to be the most efficient red zone guy? Probably not.
Speaker 3: He's second your quarterback, you know. I mean that that's
Speaker 3: where they all struggle. Lawrence again was terrible in his
Speaker 3: rookie year that way, and even early last year. So
Speaker 3: I think obviously the Steelers are understand this. Picket understands that,
Speaker 3: and their draw season moves have told us the exact
Speaker 3: same thing. Accordingly. Now, the other thing that I dug
Speaker 3: into with this picket stuff, which is more of a
Speaker 3: Steelers offense thing, is they only scored two touchdowns all
Speaker 3: year from outside the red zone. Yeah, only two offenses
Speaker 3: since two thousand have been worse in that regard. Now,
Speaker 3: is explosive plays a problem? Yes, clearly, but they're not
Speaker 3: going to be worse. They're not going to score zero
Speaker 3: from outside twenty. They're not gonna score one, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean.
Speaker 2: Well, and all that stuff too.
Speaker 1: I can remember, I mean you were talking about I
Speaker 1: can remember writing about the you know, week eleven last
Speaker 1: year they still didn't have a touchdown from outside the twenty. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was a big issue in
Speaker 1: the first half of the season. I go back to
Speaker 1: the you know again, you're playing a rookie quarterback for
Speaker 1: a lot of those games, and another quarterback who was
Speaker 1: new to the system. He had a rookie wide receiver
Speaker 1: still getting his feet wet. You know, they were still
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what they wanted to be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well now they know what they want to be, right exactly.
Speaker 3: They figured things.
Speaker 2: Out, and so I expect that to be better. I
Speaker 2: do too.
Speaker 3: So again, a lot of these numbers are disturbing. I
Speaker 3: haven't wrote those words in my article, folks, this is
Speaker 3: some disturbing stuff. But if you look at it two ways,
Speaker 3: as obviously this is a problem. Obviously they know it's
Speaker 3: a problem, and it probably is nowhere to go but up.
Speaker 3: But this is a crazy bad number Frankly, the Steelers
Speaker 3: touchdown only averaged six point eight yards away from the
Speaker 3: goal line, so their scores average six point eight yards.
Speaker 3: No team over the last thirty years have averaged fewer.
Speaker 3: Like that's kind of crazy, you know, Like their average
Speaker 3: touchdown was less than seven yards away from the goal
Speaker 3: line for the whole year. That's the lowest number in
Speaker 3: thirty years. Like, it's not gonna be They're not gonna
Speaker 3: do it again.
Speaker 1: Right, They're not gonna be worse than that, right exactly.
Speaker 1: You know they're they're going to it's going to go up.
Speaker 1: You know by the way they they went seven and
Speaker 1: two down the stretch exactly exactly, and they play a
Speaker 1: very similar schedule this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're not. They are explosives. So we're gonna grind
Speaker 3: it out a little more. You know who else did that?
Speaker 3: The Chiefs minus Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean it's just a way.
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, it's a league wide thing
Speaker 1: that that's how teams are forcing their opponents to play
Speaker 1: with a lot of the two high shelves and Okay,
Speaker 1: we're just not going to give.
Speaker 2: Up anything over the top.
Speaker 1: Well that's why you go get a George Pickens to
Speaker 1: kind of take the top off. That's why you you
Speaker 1: add an Allen Robinson, you know, to go along with
Speaker 1: Pat Fryermuth to work that middle and address that and
Speaker 1: and keep those safeties active underneath.
Speaker 2: M hm. You can't just allow them the key on
Speaker 2: a picket and to take it a second elder.
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody out there would argue that Pat
Speaker 3: Mahomes was the best quarterback in the league last year.
Speaker 3: I think Burrow was two and at worst he was three. Well,
Speaker 3: those two, to me, took a massive step forward from
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two in one facet
Speaker 3: of quarterback playing, and that is death by a thousand
Speaker 3: paper cuts. If you're gonna play too high and lean
Speaker 3: everything towards Tyreek or Jamar or whoever, I'll dump it
Speaker 3: to the back and pick up six. You know, like
Speaker 3: a lot of these quarterbacks, especially young ones, they're gun
Speaker 3: slingers at heart. The testosterone's flowing. I can't just death
Speaker 3: by a thousand paper cut. And that was the beauty
Speaker 3: of Brady.
Speaker 2: I could make this.
Speaker 1: I could make this s throw in college because you know,
Speaker 1: if they played three they play three defenses. I've seen
Speaker 1: all three of them already. I'm just gonna give my
Speaker 1: guy a chance here. Well, it doesn't work in the NFL.
Speaker 3: And I'm the best player on the field, and I'm
Speaker 3: the first overall pick, and you know, I've been a
Speaker 3: superstar since I could crawl. And frankly, I just get
Speaker 3: impatient because this is boring, dumping it down to the
Speaker 3: backs or a crossing route or a land But the
Speaker 3: best quarterbacks in the league got so much better last
Speaker 3: year and just taking what the defense gives you, and
Speaker 3: I really think the league's going to learn from that
Speaker 3: well in that respect as well.
Speaker 1: And this is something that Matt Canada has referenced, you
Speaker 1: know every time you stalk. The Chiefs were number one
Speaker 1: in the league last year in ten plus play drives.
Speaker 2: The Steelers were second, I say their second.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Pickett already has that in him to Okay,
Speaker 1: accept what's the defense is going to give you, and
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: Just play that way. Now.
Speaker 1: The next step for him is then to start hitting
Speaker 1: some of those tight window passes when you get down
Speaker 1: in the red zone. And again, as you mentioned, he
Speaker 1: added a couple of big body receivers to do that.
Speaker 1: I think that's really one of the reasons why. You know,
Speaker 1: when you look at it, they said, Okay, we don't
Speaker 1: need another Anthony Miller here right right, want.
Speaker 2: To go we want to go to the bigger body.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bigger body receiver that can go go get it,
Speaker 1: and you can just box out the cornerback and take
Speaker 1: the football away from them.
Speaker 3: So I said, a lot of stats there that are scary,
Speaker 3: that are not nice, you know, But he already started
Speaker 3: to show it in the second half of the season.
Speaker 3: And I know you and I like Pro Football Focus,
Speaker 3: but you know, some of their stuff's a little so so.
Speaker 3: But their big time throw rate which is a little
Speaker 3: bit gray, and their turnover worthy throw rate is also
Speaker 3: a little gray. But I think they're pretty telling, especially
Speaker 3: when they're this drastic. So listen, this is what I
Speaker 3: wrote about it. During the first half of the season.
Speaker 3: Pickett's big time throw rate was twenty seventh among quarterbacks,
Speaker 3: and his turnover worthy throw rate was twenty fifth. I
Speaker 3: probably surprises nobody. You know, you're at the bottom of
Speaker 3: the league in both There were a lot of interceptions,
Speaker 3: although some of them weren't his fault, but they don't
Speaker 3: Pro Football Focus doesn't blame him for the ones that
Speaker 3: go off Claypool's hands or or you know, that was
Speaker 3: not a turnover worthy play. Conversely, they were. He was
Speaker 3: second and first from week twelve on in turnover worthy
Speaker 3: plays and big time throw rate, first and second, you know,
Speaker 3: behind Burrow was the one, you know, like as good
Speaker 3: as as anyone was in the league during the second
Speaker 3: half of the season. So it's in him, and he
Speaker 3: did it recently.
Speaker 1: So again, this is why when when we look at
Speaker 1: the Steelers within the division and people's you know, I
Speaker 1: think they had the best defense in the division.
Speaker 3: I think it's debatable, but they would be my pick.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: If they get again average to above average quarterback play,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a good football team.
Speaker 3: They're gonna be a good football team. Yeah, I very
Speaker 3: much believe that, and.
Speaker 2: And everything with pick it was trending in that direction, right.
Speaker 3: I keep rep this article, but and rarely in articles
Speaker 3: do I say the word I or I think or
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. Yeah, but in the end I wrote,
Speaker 3: I'm very confident that Kenny Pickett is going to take
Speaker 3: a step forward this year, will probably take a step
Speaker 3: forward majorly in these particular problem areas. Because that's what
Speaker 3: he's going to be working on, of course, and the
Speaker 3: team surrounding him with things to make that easier on them.
Speaker 3: Now you know the player better, and I think he's
Speaker 3: going to be a successful quarterback in this league. Frankly,
Speaker 3: when they drafted him, I had my doubts. You know,
Speaker 3: I'm like, I have some questions. I like him more
Speaker 3: and more every the more and more i'm exposed to
Speaker 3: him that I think that's an NFL quarterback.
Speaker 2: To that point, we would have said a lot of
Speaker 2: the same things two years ago about mac Jones. Yes,
Speaker 2: the difference.
Speaker 1: The difference being the Patriots took everything at mac Jones
Speaker 1: had from his rookie year and said, out, we don't
Speaker 1: need an offensive coordinator. We're gonna get rid of that.
Speaker 1: We're gonna let you know, Josh mc daniels has gone.
Speaker 1: And so you let the offensive quardator go. And not
Speaker 1: only do you let your offensive coordinator go, you don't
Speaker 1: bring anybody else in to do that with your second
Speaker 1: year quarterback who had a pretty good rookie year. Oh,
Speaker 1: he had a better rookie year than Kenny Pickett had. Yeah,
Speaker 1: overall stats wise.
Speaker 3: Anywaysts wise.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you know when people wonder. If people ask, well,
Speaker 1: why did the Steelers keep mat Canada, That's why the
Speaker 1: Steelers kept Mac Canada.
Speaker 3: Change isn't always good, folks.
Speaker 2: Especially with a young quarterback.
Speaker 3: Also, by the way, it was the youngest offense in
Speaker 3: the league Coup by a wide margin.
Speaker 1: Don't ask him to go learn something new. Take what
Speaker 1: you did the year before. Piggyback off of that. Add
Speaker 1: to it. You heard Pickett talk about it during the
Speaker 1: Ota sessions in mini camp. He felt like they were
Speaker 1: so much farther ahead than they were last year at
Speaker 1: this time. Well, you would hope that he would feel
Speaker 1: that way, but everybody on the offense was saying that, yeah,
Speaker 1: because they were all young.
Speaker 3: People, don't look at it from this light too. Well,
Speaker 3: there's two points there is. I'm not saying the other
Speaker 3: ten dudes are a bunch of dummies, but Pickett might
Speaker 3: get it easy. But that doesn't mean all the young
Speaker 3: guys are gonna translate to a new offense overnight when
Speaker 3: you're the youngest offense in the league. And there's so
Speaker 3: many examples, like I pay a lot of attention to
Speaker 3: Luke Getsy because he was a pit with me and
Speaker 3: I root for him. You know, like the beginning of
Speaker 3: the Getsy Fields relationship last year with the Bears was awful,
Speaker 3: you know, like the quarterback and the coordinator were not
Speaker 3: on the same page. I hate that quote or that cliche.
Speaker 3: But then Luke figured out Justin and Justin figured out
Speaker 3: what they could do, and they played to his strengths
Speaker 3: despite not having anything around him and ran the ball
Speaker 3: through their quarterback Like Fields wasn't running the ball in
Speaker 3: the first month of the season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was frustrating. If you had him in fantasy,
Speaker 1: You're like, what's going on here? Why don't you try
Speaker 1: to make him a pocket passer? So yeah, someone just
Speaker 1: looks at.
Speaker 3: The young quarterback. Oh, he'll start to learn the league. Well,
Speaker 3: the coordinators us to learn the quarterback too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you like to do? What's your family?
Speaker 1: Give me your ten favorite they taught they have this
Speaker 1: discussion every week after practice when they go through all
Speaker 1: their practice plays, and on Saturday, the offensive coordinator sits
Speaker 1: down with the quarterback or the quarterback coach in the
Speaker 1: in the quarterback, okay, what are your what are the
Speaker 1: what are your ten best plays? Which ones do you
Speaker 1: feel the most comfortable with? Okay, that's gonna be your
Speaker 1: bread and butter, your first third and eight. I guarantee
Speaker 1: you one of those plays is getting called.
Speaker 3: I mean, this goes back to Walsh and Montana and
Speaker 3: probably before you know, Joe and Bill on two Thursday
Speaker 3: or Friday had a meeting just the two of them.
Speaker 3: Belichick and Brady are notorious for it.
Speaker 2: What do you like?
Speaker 3: What are your favorites? You know? What do you not
Speaker 3: want to see? What? What? What worries you about this defense?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what you do. And the more time
Speaker 3: you spend with each other, the better you understand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the more comfortable you get and you get on
Speaker 2: again the same page.
Speaker 3: You calling this, But I think we should in this
Speaker 3: instance you know, or whatever.
Speaker 2: Or you you have the recall on something.
Speaker 1: Hey, we ran this play three weeks ago when they
Speaker 1: get when this team gave us a look like this
Speaker 1: one in game is now giving us Yeah, we can
Speaker 1: go do that one this week. You know, we don't
Speaker 1: have to.
Speaker 2: We didn't.
Speaker 1: We didn't rep it this week, but we repped it
Speaker 1: three weeks ago. M hm, and we can use.
Speaker 3: It on three weeks ago against the Bengals, they had
Speaker 3: this corner blitz that they we'd never seen on tape,
Speaker 3: didn't practice for at all. It got home twice and
Speaker 3: we didn't pick it up very well. Well, now the
Speaker 3: Bills are running it three weeks later. Remember what we
Speaker 3: did to adjust? Oh yeah, here we go. We'll switch
Speaker 3: the back over and he's in charge of the corner.
Speaker 2: You know this instead of this hot, this guy's my
Speaker 2: hot on that on.
Speaker 3: That right right that we look at the wrong side
Speaker 3: of the field. They do. The other coaches get paid too,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's all very interesting. You know, we'll see
Speaker 1: that's why they played. It is exciting. It's it's like
Speaker 1: I feel like I did in two thousand and four
Speaker 1: when when Ben Roethlisberger, when you started to see, Okay,
Speaker 1: this this guy's pretty good.
Speaker 3: It won't break my heart if Kenny turns into Ben
Speaker 3: year after year. We don't have these conversas.
Speaker 2: I don't have that expectation.
Speaker 3: But you know, he's gonna play like a Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame or hoham boring. But it's exciting, you know, like, boy,
Speaker 3: I hope the young kid takes the next step, or
Speaker 3: you know, my son just got his driver's license. Good,
Speaker 3: he isn't wrecked yet. You know, I mean.
Speaker 2: He is.
Speaker 1: Matt Williams said, I am Dale Lawley. You're listening to
Speaker 1: the Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. We're gonna take
Speaker 1: a break. We'll be back with more. It's fantasy football
Speaker 1: time now. It's just a little fantasy football focus. We'll
Speaker 1: do that when we return on the Drive.
