Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 2: Good evening, Steeler Nation. How we doing well? That's good

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: us too.

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 3: Our number two here on the Drive on the Steelers

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 3: Audio Network and joining us now is he's kind enough

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 3: to do just about every single Wednesday here on the program.

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: It is our buddy Chris Halleck, of course, covers the

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: Steelers for dk Pittsburgh Sports. Chris, thank you for taking

10
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 3: the time. As always, let's jump right into it today.

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: I know it is only Wednesday. In the next two

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 3: days are going to be important. But if you had

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 3: to make a guest right now, yes or no, Aaron

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 3: Rodgers plays on Sunday in Chicago.

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 4: It's really really difficult. I would still lean no, it's

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 4: gonna be Mason. But I know that Aaron really really

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 4: wants to play. And for a couple of reasons. Number one,

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 4: he's just a He's just just he's a competitor. You

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 4: don't play for this long and be as successful as

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: he ended up being the ultra competitor. I mean, he

21
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 4: hasn't taken a practice off all season long until today,

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: you know, like, and that's only because of the injury.

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,919
Speaker 4: So he I mean when I mean she We remember

24
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: when Ben was was older. You know, he would you know,

25
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 4: get the you know, his VET day. You know Rogers

26
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 4: has not gotten a vet day. But when you look

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: at all the variables that stand in the way when

28
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 4: it comes to can he take a snap from under center?

29
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 4: Can he take a snap out of the shotgun? Can

30
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 4: he hand the ball off? Can he protect himself if

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: he falls to the ground and the natural reflex comes

32
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: where you you're falling and you put your hands out,

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 4: is he going to injure it more? You know, all

34
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 4: of these variables are going the way. I just I'm

35
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: I don't know if I've seen enough to be like

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 4: yep I said, I really think Aaron's going to play.

37
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: But I'm not a doctor.

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: I'm not going to pretend to be a doctor. So

39
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 4: maybe maybe they figure it out.

40
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 5: I don't know.

41
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: But I also know that there's a lot of faith

42
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: in Mason Rudolph, not just from Aaron himself, but from

43
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith and like Tomlin, and where if they don't

44
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 4: they feel like Aaron's going to be in significant danger

45
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 4: to rein or not to re enjoy it, but to

46
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: make it worse, and they'll they'll ride with Mason.

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 5: So how do you think the game planning and structure

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 5: of the offense changes if it is Rudolph, Like, I'm

49
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 5: sure that they're looking at it at this part of

50
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 5: the week. You know, they're they're they're installing things. There's

51
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 5: a lot already in the in the playbook, but they're

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 5: going to attack you know, the Bears obviously different with

53
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 5: a different quarterback. Would you think more play action, more

54
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 5: middle of the field throwing. I mean, what do you

55
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 5: think the difference would be.

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 4: Well, Mason was asked about that today after practice and

57
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: he doesn't think that it would be all that different

58
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 4: if it were you know, him or Aaron. Of course,

59
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: there are going to be certain plays in the playbook

60
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: where I shouldn't say in the playbook, but in the

61
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: game plan, because Arthur Smith will set the game plan

62
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: we need to attack the Bears in and he'll list

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 4: out all the different ways and how they're going to

64
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 4: attack them, either on the ground or through the air.

65
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: And then throughout that game plan there will be certain

66
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 4: concepts or whatever that maybe Mason prefers over Aaron. But

67
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 4: sometimes then Mason said, there is overlap. There are certain

68
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 4: plays where they both like them. So I don't think

69
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: it would be all that different based off of what

70
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: Mason said after practice, But you know, it was pretty

71
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: I think we get we might over romanticize when ended

72
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: up happening because in the first half the Steelers score

73
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: ten points, like second half the offense score ten points.

74
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: Like it was the same output. It looked different. Sure,

75
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 4: it looked a little different, but it was still the

76
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 4: same output. And that's ultimately what the goal is is

77
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: to score points, and they scored the same number of points.

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: So I don't think it'd be like the offense is

79
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: going to be completely different or anything like that, whether

80
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 4: it's Aaron.

81
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: And Mason, Chris, what is your confidence level in the

82
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: Steelers defense right now? It's something Matt and I talked

83
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: about a little bit on Monday, I believe it was.

84
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: But it feels like they are rounding into form at

85
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 3: the right time. They have been up and down throughout

86
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: the course of the season, but it seems that they've

87
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 3: stabilized a little bit much better on a down down basis.

88
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: Still getting the splash once again with two massive defensive

89
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: touchdowns obviously on Sunday, are they playing as well as

90
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: they have at any point this season.

91
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: Well, there was a three week stretch early early in

92
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: the season in which the defense was playing at a

93
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: level I think I even sent the graphic to Matt

94
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: at one point and was like, dude, like, over these

95
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 4: three weeks, like one of the best defenses, or at

96
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: least one of the most efficient defense in the NFL,

97
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 4: like in terms of like EPA and everything like that.

98
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: And then the Bengals game happened, like the Week seven

99
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 4: Bengals game happened, and then the Packers game happened, and

100
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 4: so we're here right now. It's been a three week

101
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: period where you look at the EPA numbers, So over

102
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: the last three weeks, they're I think sixth in total

103
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: EPA and their second in drop back EPA over the

104
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 4: past three weeks. So yeah, they've been playing a lot better,

105
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 4: and over the last three weeks they have been one

106
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 4: of the better defenses. But they're about to face an

107
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 4: offense that ranks in the top five both in total

108
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 4: offense and in rushing. So it's going to be a challenge.

109
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: You know, this is not going to be easy, But

110
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 4: I will say that the way that they're playing and

111
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: against higher quality opponents and offenses in general. I mean,

112
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 4: holding that Bengals off to twelve points is pretty impressive.

113
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think the defense is probably playing at

114
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: its best that we've seen this season, and I would

115
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 4: be a little more confident going into this game as

116
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 4: opposed to like when the wheels fell off in Cincinnati

117
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: back in Week seven.

118
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you mentioned the pass defense, and I think

119
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 5: they're doing a much better job of marrying the past

120
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 5: rush to coverages. We've seen some personnel changes, you know,

121
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 5: Ramsey's now a full time safety. We've seen a lot

122
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 5: more too high, We've seen more a different usage of

123
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 5: coverages out there. Do you think these are things that

124
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 5: are here to stay? I mean, you think we're gonna

125
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 5: see cover four? Like what do you did? Nerd out

126
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 5: with me a little bit here on the on the

127
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 5: schematics with the coverage stuff.

128
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, so it's funny because when they were

129
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: playing the Chargers, they went back to really really high

130
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 4: single high, back to a really really high blitz rate.

131
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 4: So what they've been doing really is they've been kind

132
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 4: of throwing different things out there every week. Obviously against

133
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 4: the Colts and then this past week against the Bengals,

134
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: it was a lot too high. This past week. It

135
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: was more too high than we've seen all season long.

136
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: In one game, the shift from I mean, their man

137
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: coverage in the Week seven loss was thirty four point

138
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 4: six percent according to Fantasy points dot Com, which was

139
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 4: like right after season average, and this past week it

140
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 4: was at less than nine percent. In terms of man coverage.

141
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: It was a massive drop. They went to almost completely

142
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: zoned coverage in this game, a lot of Cover two,

143
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 4: a healthy dose of both Cover four and Cover six.

144
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 5: I mean.

145
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 4: But again, when they played the Chargers though, and I

146
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 4: think people will misremember the Chargers game, the defense actually

147
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 4: played really well in that game. They just got completely

148
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: gassed out because the offense just did not hold on

149
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: the ball, didn't do anything. But they ran with a

150
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: lot of single high and blitzed that are at a

151
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 4: high rate in that game. So I think the thing

152
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: now that they're showing is that now offensers don't know

153
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: what to expect and they don't know how to how

154
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: exactly a game plan. That's actually a really really good

155
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: thing to do, because you're versatile enough to be able

156
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 4: to attack an offense, whether you're running out of too

157
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 4: high and playing a lot of Cover two, Cover four,

158
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 4: or you can run out of single high and run

159
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 4: a lot more Cover one, and but even then when

160
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: they ran cover one this past week, but they didn't

161
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 4: do it very often. When they ran it, we finally

162
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: saw a hole defender in the middle of the field.

163
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: We hadn't seen that before. You know, it's just been

164
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: cover one. It's man free and everybody's blitzing. Who's not

165
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: covering ever, who's not having to cover somebody? That wasn't

166
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: the case the Dugger interception. He came down from a

167
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: from a too high look and robbed the middle of

168
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 4: the field and flack a float through it right to him. So,

169
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: you know, that's something we didn't see before. So the

170
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: fact that we're starting to see a wide variation of

171
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 4: skimmats and coverages against different offenses, it's kind of hard

172
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: to predict what they're going to do against theirs.

173
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 3: Chris, last one I've got for you, Buddy. It's been

174
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: pretty quiet on the Asante Samuel Junior front this week.

175
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: Any it's been Hey, it's been fourteen months, right, Matt

176
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: since he played a regular, a regular season NFL game,

177
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 3: So I think it's fair to expect him to need

178
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: some time to get up to speed. Do you think

179
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: we could see him activated at all this week or

180
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: does that still feel like just a practice squad role

181
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: for a Sante Samuel Junior.

182
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 4: I feel like right now it's still the practice squad role.

183
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 5: I mean, they're they're right now.

184
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 4: What they have to do is they have to get

185
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 4: Darius Slay back into the fall and then figure out

186
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 4: how they're going to divvy up the snaps between Sleigh

187
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: and James Pierre.

188
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 2: Because well, Mike.

189
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: Tomlin said on Tuesday that Sleigh would go back and

190
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 4: be the starter. I'm not exactly convinced that that means

191
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 4: that Slay is really going to be, you know, carrying

192
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: the workload there because interesting, well, I mean, we'll think

193
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 4: about it. Calvin Austin was named as a starter for

194
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 4: the offense, like he came out in the introductions this

195
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 4: past week. Who played more snaps on Sunday? Was it

196
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 4: Roman Wilson or was a Calvin Austin Roman Wilson by

197
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: a by a mile. Roman Wilson played way more snaps

198
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 4: than Calvin. So it could be a situation in which, yes,

199
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: Slay is the starter, but who ends up playing more

200
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 4: snaps at the end of the game, and with the

201
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: way James Pierre is playing personally, I don't know how

202
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 4: you just put that on the bench, and.

203
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 5: I think he's playing better than anything Slay has done

204
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 5: in a Steeler uniform.

205
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 4: I would agree with that, But just because you you

206
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 4: and I agree on that doesn't what Mike, Tomlin and

207
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 4: Pa are going to think. But at the same time,

208
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 4: I also don't think that they're seeing that and they're like, yeah,

209
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 4: we're gonna put that on the sideline either. So I'm

210
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 4: curious to see how they're going to handle that. I

211
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 4: think that's probably the bigger story in the secondary right

212
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: now as opposed to getting a Sante. Samuel Well, because

213
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 4: like you said, like he's he's got a he's still

214
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 4: coming back from from this. This is his first real

215
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 4: football action that he's saying with a team, he's learning

216
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 4: the defense. I understand why Kyle Duggart came in and

217
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 4: hit the ground running like pretty much right away, but

218
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 4: that's just because just because Kyle Duggert did it doesn't

219
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 4: mean that Samuel's gonna do it or any other defender

220
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 4: can do it. That's not an easy thing to do,

221
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 4: so I I right now, I'd be kind of shocked

222
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: if Samuel just all of a sudden became like like

223
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 4: got activated or got elevated and just started playing snaps,

224
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 4: especially when you consider slaves coming back. Pierre's playing at

225
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 4: a really high level, Porter's playing at a really high level.

226
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 4: Eccles is playing at a at at at a good

227
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 4: level too, So I don't think they necessarily need to

228
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: rush him in, especially whenever you they're they're at least

229
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: getting another guy back and he.

230
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 5: Does special teams value, Yeah, yeah, exactly, And I don't

231
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 5: think he'd run down on a punter kick and get

232
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 5: a tackle in that way, and you know, not the yeah,

233
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 5: I don't think.

234
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 4: I don't think coming off of what he's coming off

235
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: of they're going to ask him to like go go

236
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: with a whole bunch of defensive and a hey, yeah,

237
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 4: we need you have special teams too, especially whenever you

238
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: consider that, you know, they have a number of guys

239
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 4: who can probably play special teams that aren't playing as

240
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 4: much special teams like James Pierre, Like, is he playing

241
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 4: as much special teams? With him playing pretty much all

242
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 4: but I think it was like all but one snap

243
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 4: or two snaps this past Sunday, So it's kind of funny.

244
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 4: I was playing out right now.

245
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: It is always great stuff with our buddy Chris Hallick,

246
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 3: and uh hey, starting Sunday afternoon in Chicago, will begin

247
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: to get the answer to some of these questions. Chris,

248
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 3: great stuff is always, buddy. Thank you for the time

249
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: and we'll talk soon.

250
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: All right, Thanks for having me, guys.

251
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: I appreciate it as always. Dude.

252
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: There he goes, Chris Hallick, Great stuff from him. Great

253
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 3: point on the secondary there nine just nine percent of

254
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 3: the time man coverage against the Bengals. Look at him, Yeah,

255
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: pulling out the numbers, baby, I love it, and you

256
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: saw that change. Have plenty of success and yield a

257
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: great day for the Steelers defense on Sunday. Another tall task,

258
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: of course, against Caleb Williams and these Chicago Bears this

259
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: coming weekend, Matt, we'll finish talking more about the Bears specifically,

260
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 3: but when we return on the other side, you know

261
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: what time it.

262
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 5: Is, Yeah, let's do it.

263
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: Time to go around campus. You ready, Blue dough over there?

264
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: All right? You ready, Rodney Dangerfield can't get no respect.

265
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: We'll go back to school around campus, talk about some

266
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 3: of these college quarterbacks on the other side, and we

267
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: do our weekly collegiate check in here on the Drive

268
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 3: on Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network, your tunes.

269
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

270
00:13:51,720 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal, Steelers Nation Radio.

271
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 3: It's time to go around campus here on the Drive,

272
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: Matt Week thirteen edition. The penultimate week of the college

273
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: football regular season this weekend and then you know, next weekend,

274
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: the weekend after Thanksgiving, which is always one of the

275
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: best weekends of college football. That's Saturday after Thanksgiving. That's

276
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: kind of rivalry weekend across college football. Michigan, five State,

277
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: Michigan and Auburn Alabama and all these great rivalries that's

278
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: used to be when the backyard brawl was. And I'm

279
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 3: confident one day it'll get back there when Pitt and

280
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: WV are inevitably in the same conference again. At some

281
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 3: point the beggars can't be choosers. I'll take it on

282
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 3: the schedule. But yes, it was much better when it

283
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 3: was Thanksgiving night or Black Friday night or sometime that weekend.

284
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, Week thirteen of fourteen here in college football,

285
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: then obviously it'll be conference championship weekend, Notre Dame or

286
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: Notre Dame part of me, Navy an army coming up

287
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: as well too, and then before you know it, I

288
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: mean about a month from now, the playoff will be

289
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: beginning in college football, and so really coming down the

290
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: home stretch here, as the picture gets I think clearer

291
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: and clearer, Matt a bunch of amongst a bunch of

292
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: these names here on this sheet. So let's jump into

293
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: it as we always do. I'll go through some of

294
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: the names here, and then I'll give you some matchups

295
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: to watch this weekend if you are so inclined. Matt

296
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: deservedly so still lean this thing off. Fernando Mendoza, of course,

297
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: quarterback at Indiana. He had been quiet the last couple

298
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: of weeks. Not bad, but not light in the world

299
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: on fire. But he was outstanding.

300
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 5: I don't think his stock was dropping before this week.

301
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: Yes, it wasn't maintaining, it wasn't light in the world

302
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 3: on fire. But you know, like against Penn State, he

303
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: wasn't great, but he made a lot of plays down

304
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 3: the stretch for them to win that game. But I

305
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 3: tell you what he looked like the dude this weekend.

306
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: They dominated Wisconsin thirty one to seven. Completed ninety two

307
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: percent of his passes two hundred and ninety nine yards,

308
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: four touchdowns, no turnovers, tight window throws all over the

309
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: middle of the field, which you love to see. He's

310
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: got thirty passing touchdowns this season. He's easily We can

311
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: talk about Ty Simpson, and we could talk about Dante

312
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: Moore and Lenora's Sellers and some of these other guys.

313
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: I think if you don't have him as QB one

314
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: right now, I think you're projecting and reaching a little

315
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: too much.

316
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like it's pretty cutting dry eve.

317
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: Ours, especially because six.

318
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 3: We'll get to him in a second, but Ty Simpson

319
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: had a bad day this past Saturday in Oklahoma, so

320
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: it had kind of become the sexy thing for a

321
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 3: lot of people to have Ty Simpson as the first

322
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 3: quarterback off the board. I don't know, Matt. I mean,

323
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 3: he's got ten starts in his life, and eight of

324
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: them are really good and two of them are really bad.

325
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of middle ground there. But Mendoza,

326
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 3: he's six', five like you said he. IS i think

327
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 3: the in what has been a underwhelming quarterback class overall

328
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 3: from what we thought it was going to be coming

329
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 3: into this, year, Right he's been the one that is

330
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 3: consistently arrow pointed.

331
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 5: Up, yeah like he hasn't faltered or, Yeah.

332
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: And and is IS qb? One if we want to

333
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 3: talk about how does he compare to the The Joe

334
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: burrows and The Trevor lawrences and The andrew lux and

335
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: the you know the people that we Cam ward's and

336
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: all those, things that's a different. Conversation but he IS

337
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: qb one right. Now Ty, simpson the BAM mc quarterback

338
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: who was the other guy in this. Conversation shaky. Performance

339
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 3: he looked bad for the first time this year since

340
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: they Lost week one At Florida. STATE i, mean on, paper,

341
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 3: hey sixty six, percent sixty seven percent completion, percentage three

342
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty six, yards one, touchdown one, interceptions not one,

343
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 3: interception not, Terrible But matt he had two, turnovers the

344
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 3: interception and a. Fumble the interception was a pick six By.

345
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 3: Oklahoma the fumble was a field goal By. Oklahoma he

346
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 3: put them in a ten to nothing hole early and

347
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 3: they were never really able to claw out of.

348
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 2: IT i Give oklahoma a ton of. Credit their defense is.

349
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 5: Great they played. Hard, yeah but they.

350
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: There's no Reason alabama should have lost that game other

351
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 3: than too Bad Ty simpson. Turnovers they also had a

352
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: chip shot miss field goal by their, kicker which plays

353
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 3: into it as. WELL i should mention that mm. Hm

354
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: but he just never looked. Settled he looked shaky the

355
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 3: two turnovers and what was a costly loss For alabama

356
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: at home for like again for the first time all

357
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: season and really Since week, one when he was only

358
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 3: partially on the. RADAR i would have THE i would

359
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 3: have the stock down for him for the first time this.

360
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 3: Year totally get, it not crushing him for, it but

361
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 3: he struggled On. Saturday it was a shaky.

362
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 5: Performance like so lean into This oklahoma, game it seemed

363
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 5: more and more this Stuff i've read, heard et, cetera that,

364
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 5: no he'll be in this, draft AND i never quite understood,

365
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 5: that because, Like, okay he's started a lot of buzzs

366
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 5: at that point and he's playing great and blah blah.

367
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 5: Blah BUT i can't believe it should be a foregone

368
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,719
Speaker 5: conclusion that he's definitely going to be in this draft

369
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 5: with a little experience.

370
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 2: He's At for most of these, GUYS i don't think

371
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: it should be a full gone.

372
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: Conclusion but, AGAIN i still think right, now if he

373
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: declared to you, know if the draft was coming up

374
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 3: in the combine and all that, stuff and he declared,

375
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: TODAY i still think he'd be a top ten pick.

376
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: On yeah, yeah, yeah mock.

377
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: Draft so that's tough to turn down if you're if

378
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 3: you're you, know a. Kid AND i certainly still think

379
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 3: that there's a good chance that he comes out and

380
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: goes in the top. Ten but what if he looks shaky, Again.

381
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 5: Oh he's got some big games going, up there could Be.

382
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 3: THE sec has their kind of joke week before the

383
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: final week of the. Season this is something THE sec

384
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 3: gets crushed for every. Year but they're all playing like

385
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: The citadel And westy And florida and let, SO i

386
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: forget Who alabama, plays but it's it's someone they should matter.

387
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: Abolish but then they have then they have to go

388
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 3: To Iron bowl for the To auburn for The Iron,

389
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: bowl which is always a little bit of a. Challenge

390
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: And auburn's been up and down and they fired their,

391
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 3: coach but they've got a good. Defense what if he

392
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 3: doesn't like the world on fire Against? Auburn what, if, Oh,

393
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 3: yeah what if they don't make before they do the,

394
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 3: struggles things could still. Change But Ty, simpson LIKE i,

395
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: said for the first time all, year the stock dropped

396
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 3: a little bit On. Saturday, Okay Dante moore took care

397
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 3: of business Against minnesota big, time forty two to. Thirteen

398
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: kind of similar To. Mendoza after a couple subpar, outings

399
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 3: he he bounced back and really looked the. Part over

400
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 3: three hundred yards passing two, touchdowns zero. Interceptions he was.

401
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 3: Accurate matt completed ninety percent of his Pass he's got the. Athleticism,

402
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 3: yeah he still has some issues, sometimes you, know with

403
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 3: with missing some, guys BUT i think that's to be.

404
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 3: Expected he's another one who's still SO.

405
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: I, mean he's he's an idol.

406
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 3: Time, yeah he's like twenty years old still and is

407
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 3: a true third, year you know.

408
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: Guy he to me.

409
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: Kind of defines the sitting on the fence of would

410
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: probably in all likelihood be a first round pick if

411
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: he went.

412
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 5: PRO i would be shocked that he didn't go in

413
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 5: the first, Round, yes, Right.

414
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 3: But could make a lot of money coming back At

415
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: oregon and could potentially win a national championship next year

416
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: BECAUSE i Know i've mentioned this to you.

417
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: Before oregon's. Good now they're like six or seventh in the, country.

418
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 5: But they chances with great next.

419
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 2: Year but they're one of the they're like the youngest

420
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 2: team in the top, ten and they have a chance to.

421
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 5: Be great next day of money and they'll, Dudes AND

422
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 5: i Think.

423
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 3: Phil knight is how DO i put this without being, Callous,

424
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 3: MATT i Think Phil knight is pushing all his chips

425
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 3: into the center of the table For oregon football while

426
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 3: he's in his eighties and might be.

427
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: On the back nine of His.

428
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Right i'm not trying to be callous and saying

429
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: that his, eighties he's, older he last, chance he's he's

430
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 3: going all, in and so that'll be a very interesting

431
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 3: one to. Evaluate but for Both mendoza And Dante, MOORE

432
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 3: i thought you were kind of waiting in the last couple

433
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 3: of weeks to see another one of those vintage performance

434
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:56,560

448

460
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,640

Speaker 2: Jeremiah smith as well to.

480
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,680

481
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 3: me because we know the raw, talent it's. Undeniable but

482

Speaker 3: THE sec lead with twenty two touchdown. Passes his arm

520
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,280

Speaker 3: crazy athletic matt AND.

522
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:45,919

00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 6: COUNTRY i, mean, yeah feels like one of those guys

524
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 6: who still has a ton of juice to, Squeeze like

525
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 6: if you got him in an offense with AND i

526
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 6: know they're not going this, route but like A Ben johnson,

527
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 6: type A Kyle shanahan.

528
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: Type Sean oh my, goodness if the if The rams could.

529
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: Draft him and have him sit Behind stafford year McVeigh

530
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 3: coach him.

531
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,280

532
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 3: GAME i don't love his his slight of, frame AND

533
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 3: i wish he had a little more arm. Strength but

534
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 3: there's a lot to like there With Marcel reid as well.

535
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 3: Too he rightfully so is one of these guys who's

536
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: bursting on the. Scene only his third, year so he

537
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: could certainly come, back but HE i think now will

538
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: be heavy in these conversations when we get To combine

539
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: season and all of.

540
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 5: THAT i didn't know he was in the draft.

541
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 2: Mix so you know what's funny IS i did not.

00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: EITHER i go back and, LOOK i thought he still

543
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 3: HAD i thought he was Like Julian sane From Ohio.

544
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 3: STATE i thought he still had another, year but he

545
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,560

547
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 3: the that's the line of.

548
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 5: That maybe he'll.

549
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 3: Maybe jada miava USC i tell you, what against a

551
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 3: four yards, passing which doesn't sound like lighting the world on,

552
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 3: fire but that's the second most That iowa has given.

553

Speaker 3: be first round. Picks that's a that's a good one

570
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,200

571
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 3: playoff race as. Well Trinidad chamberless At Old. Miss this

572

Speaker 3: guy is a fun, Watch. Matt he's got some, limitations

573
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 3: but six times and nine starts this, year he's gone

574
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 3: for over three hundred yards. Passing he could do it

575
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 3: with his. Legs he if he wouldn't, have you, know

576
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 3: not gotten into the fold For Old miss UNTIL i

577
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 3: think week. THREE i think he would be in The

578
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: heisman conversation as well. Too Old miss is ranked fifth

579
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 3: or sixth in the country right now you AND i

580
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: have talked a little bit about some of The Lane

581
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 3: kiffin offense stuff and how there's some oh, yeah there's

582
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 3: some quirky collegiate elements of that offense that don't necessarily

583
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: translate to The National Football. League but kind of similar

584
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 3: To Jackson, dart he's a guy who can do it

585
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 3: with his, arm could do it with his leg in

586
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: That old miss, OFFENSE i continue TO i, think, limitations

587
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 3: but really fun to watch and there's a lot to

588
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 3: be intrigued by.

589
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 5: There, okay do you Think Old?

590
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: DECLAIRE i think that depends on What Lane kiffin.

591
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 5: Does, okay there's a good chance he's not.

592
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: Bad there's a good chance he could end up AT

593
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: lsu Or. FLORIDA i know some people have even mentioned

594
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 3: him AN nfl. Job that would shock me because, AGAIN

595
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 3: i just don't think his offense translates to THE nfl.

596
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: Game but if there's been a lot of smoke this

597
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: week About Lane kiffin potentially going TO lsu or potentially

598
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: going To. Florida now they're saying If alabama misses the

599
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 3: playoff for the second straight, year they'll Fire kaylin De,

600
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: boer The alabama coach after just two, years and they

601
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: would maybe go After Lane. Kiffin Apparently Old miss has

602
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 3: been trying to get him to sign a contract extension

603
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 3: and he's been dragging his feet waiting on. Sex so

604
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: there's some smoke around this situation.

605
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: Too he's one THAT i would.

606
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 5: Definitely meenture with The, giants which makes no sense to,

607
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 5: Me but.

608
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: It makes no sense to me him at THE nfl.

609
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: LEVEL i think he's a great college football. COACH i

610
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: would not want him at THE nfl level BECAUSE i

611
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: don't think his offense.

612
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: Translates But Trenidad chambliss kind of similar to The North

613
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: sellers another one of. Those if they come back for another,

614
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 3: year and depending on what happens with their program and

615
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 3: their head, coach would be very interesting where they could end.

616
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 5: Up you would Say sellers is more gifted, though, YES

617
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 5: i mean might be more gift than all, These.

618
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 3: Yes and he's got more of the you, Know chamberliss

619
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: is not slight a, frame but he's six one two

620
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 3: hundred pounds Where sellers is six you, know.

621
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: Two thirty two. Forty, yeah but he's another one of.

810
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 3: eligibility because he started At Boise, STATE i believe with

Speaker 3: a red, shirt so he should have one more one more.

812
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,080
