4
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: It is a blustery Thursday here in Pittsburgh. The Steelers

5
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: going through their second day of practice here, uh today

6
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: to get ready to play the New York Football Jets. Um.

7
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: I guess you can't call him football, you call the

8
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: football Giants because there was a j steam right yeah. Um,

9
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: But the New York Jets on Sunday at Accershire Stadium

10
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: getting through there. Yeah, I think we know who they are.

11
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: We know who they are. The only player not practicing

12
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: injury related today for the Steelers once again was a

13
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: Killow Weathers So looking good in terms of that. Presley

14
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: Harvin with the hip full participant. Uh. Making Fitzpatrick with

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: a contcussion full participant doesn't mean he's been cleared yet.

16
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: It still has to happen. But look, Kevin Dotson full participant,

17
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: Larry Ogan, Joe get the day off today as a

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: veteran's day off resting, So that's nothing to be concerned

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: about necessarily. Yesterday we don't have the Jets injury report

20
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: yet for today. UM. Cornerback Brandon Eccles was limited for them.

21
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: Defensive lineman John Franklin Myers, who we talked about was

22
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: limited as well with a toe uh. And then linebacker

23
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: Quincy Williams with an ankle. Okay, I mean he's a

24
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: down back yeah right right, running hit guy young. You

25
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: know his people know his brother Quentin Williams. Um. I

26
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: mean they're they're two starters that play a lot of

27
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: snaps on on defense. Yeah right, and that defense has

28
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: not been great this year, that's for sure. Um. They

29
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: look like they have some pieces, you know, saw us

30
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: in the front and you know, but it's a work

31
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: in progress on that side of the ball, for sure.

32
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: And they can't afford to be down anybody really. Speaking

33
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: of Sauce, Um, we went through the numbers yesterday. He

34
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: was pretty good on Sunday uh and in one on

35
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: one matchup they had him traveling with Chase market mar Chase. Um.

36
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: Do we expect that this week? And if so, does

37
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: that mean that you expect the Steelers to attack the

38
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: other side? Ipso factor George Pickens could have a big game. Yeah.

39
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: It's an interesting conversation because I did a podcast this

40
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: morning said the same thing, like this could be the

41
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: Pickens day. I mean, Steels a one more receiver than

42
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: the Jets can really handle anybody you cut it. And

43
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't first off, if the ant if if you

44
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: see right off the bat that sauce is just falling

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: dente everywhere, by no means is that we can't ever

46
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: throw it. They did, Cleveland did that last week at

47
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: Denzel Ward they had him traveling with THENTE Deante at

48
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: eight catches for he can still tie you in knots. Yeah,

49
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: I still think you test the rookie too. There's only

50
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: three games the tape of the guy, and he's a

51
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: remarkable talent long six to all the athleticism you've ever wanted,

52
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, barely gave up catches at Cincinnati last year

53
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati. Um, but I wouldn't fear him

54
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: yet at this point of his career. And maybe he'll

55
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: make you eat those words. Um. Reads a good player

56
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: the other corner. But I think Eccles is a slot.

57
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm not certain about that now that I think about it,

58
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: because sometimes they list Carter the safety. Yeah, so they

59
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: used Joiner there sometimes too, and Carter more of a

60
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: power slot. But all those are good matchups for Claypool.

61
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: We were talking yesterday about the middle of the field.

62
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Their linebacker safeties to me aren't a great group. You know,

63
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: that's going to be down the line of their team building.

64
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: So I think that sets up for friar Muth. But

65
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: it's funny he brought a pick ins because I said

66
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: the exact same thing a couple of hours ago in

67
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: my basement, going not that I think Deante's targets are

68
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: gonna go down or his you know, his assignments anymore difficult,

69
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: But I don't know where their answer is for pickings. Yeah,

70
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: and really, if you look at d J reid um,

71
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: he's done a real super fast guy. He kind of

72
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: a four five solid player, yeah, you know, not not big,

73
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: not a lot, not as big certainly as a sauce

74
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: gardener either. I don't think I mean, I know, he

75
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: wasn't real high pick I can't remember where he went,

76
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: but he's not a traitsy type, you know, corner that

77
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: would blow up a combine. I also like the matchup

78
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: of Michael Carter in the slot. If that's who it

79
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: ends up being with Claypool, that's the beauty of Claypool

80
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: in general. I mean, like Claypool versus McCloud obviously is

81
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: very different, but nobody has slot guys that even resemble

82
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: what Claypool looks like. And I know people give like

83
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: Terrollo Edmunds a hard time. If the Steelers are playing

84
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: the Steelers, Edmonds would probably go Claypool a lot, you know,

85
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's kind of the beauty of Edmonds.

86
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: And that's a tough assignment for any safety, let alone

87
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: a strong safety type. It's a real tough assignment for

88
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: the Hilton's of the world or Molezza the world. And

89
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm much sure Carter even fits any of those molds.

90
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: Yeah he's bad. He's listed at five eleven pounds. Yeah,

91
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna be giving up probably fifty pounds to chase Claypool.

92
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, which is big in the run game as well.

93
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not a hard block for you to make.

94
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: I mean, have Nausea run right off clay Pools, but

95
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: you know, and have him steal the edge a little bit.

96
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: So I think that plan that we knew was coming

97
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: all through camp, but we didn't get to see a

98
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: ton because Deonte was holding in and other people heard,

99
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: and you know, the five skill guys, weren't there a

100
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: ton in camp and in the preseason. I think that

101
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: might bear more fruit than it has already. And I

102
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: think Claypol's had a pretty good year and nobody wants

103
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: to give him credit for that either. And even if

104
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: it's Echoless is listed of five eleven as well, skinny guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

105
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean so those are those are matchups you should win. Um,

106
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: you know nine times out of ten? Are they going

107
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: to make some plays? Yeah? I mean as much as

108
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: we talked about, you know, Johnson had his way with

109
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: Ward until he didn't on the one play last year

110
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: or last week down a sideline's words, a good player,

111
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: he made a play and they get paid to Yeah. Right.

112
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: And these two, these slot options for Claypool will be

113
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: a little quicker with their short area bursts and things

114
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: like that too. They have some advantage. I think you

115
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: want to put him in situations where they can muscle

116
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: these guys up. Read is five. He's small too, Yeah,

117
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's why you you can see why they

118
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: picked Sauce over some of the other you know, a

119
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: tackle or a dead drusher or whatever. If I were them,

120
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: I might want read and I this is still a mismatch,

121
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: but I might want read On just size wise, and

122
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: Gardner on the outside on Pickens. Maybe I just wonder

123
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: if thee would in reading on so he would he would?

124
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: I mean not not that any of these guys are

125
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: gonna be on total islands no help whatsoever either, you know.

126
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: I mean, they'll be will roll different coverages different ways.

127
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Um. I think that they, you know, philosophically

128
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: franchise from the top down, did their draft prep and said,

129
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: maybe we're gon We're gonna take Gardner Stingley and for

130
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: this reason, and we're gonna match him up against Tyreek

131
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: in Miami. He's at the matchup against Digs in Buffalo,

132
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: and Week four against Steelers, he's gonna get their best receiver.

133
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: And that's what we do here. But there's only three

134
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: games to really judge at all. Now that I look

135
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: at La Marcus Join or something, they got a bunch

136
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: of little dudes on the back on the back end here,

137
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: the safeties aren't big. The linebackers, I mean Williams who's injured,

138
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: doesn't have great size either, you know. I mean, they're

139
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: their middle of the field and corners besides Gardner and

140
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: Moseley are undersized. Yeah, um that I think, you know,

141
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: you could be looking at Firemouth having some guys, right yeah,

142
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: Alexander's you know, an undersized linebacker, something like the six

143
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: to twenty. Um, yeah, I mean you should be able

144
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: to to make some things happens. Listed quinnin they're not

145
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: quin Quentin the younger brother the linebacker mostly six two,

146
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: and then Quincy Williams Quincy. You keep six different names.

147
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: So really other than mostly, both of those other linebackers

148
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: are are undersized. Thirty pounds Lessonsmouth, Yeah, you know they're

149
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: they're twenty pounds lesson Naugy Harris Yeah, yeah right, I

150
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: mean I think you can run on those guys. I

151
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: think you can attack the middle of the field. I

152
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: agree with you that this could be a breakout pickings day.

153
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: Playpool is gonna cause problems. Protection still worries me a

154
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, I mean, but all in all,

155
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: in terms of the matchups, I think the Steelers have

156
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: a big advantage. I mean, you know, if you wanted

157
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: to max protect and send three guys out in patterns

158
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: and then just throw the ball up in the air

159
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: and let your guys be big. Yeah, yeah, especially if

160
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: you're down or you know, um, yeah, I hear you.

161
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: I don't see any terrible way to attack this defense.

162
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: And I know it's it's ranked very low. I don't

163
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: see it as a horrible defense that has no chance.

164
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: Football sider says two in terms of d v O

165
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: A defensively, and I trust their their take on things

166
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: quite a bit. But I also don't see anything to

167
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: avoid by any means either. I mean, I'd love to

168
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: see the Steelers. All this passing stuff sounds great, but

169
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: if they can control this game on the ground and

170
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: just handed those two backs over and over and beat

171
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: the dirt out of him and in the fourth quarter

172
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: of those guys are gas as can be and didn't

173
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: as much of your quarterback, I'd be just as happy

174
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: with that too. Yeah. As much as I like Carl

175
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: Lawson and I do, um, you know, if you're counting

176
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: on him to help keep up guys uncovered, he's two pounds,

177
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, so he might be able to run at

178
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: him a little bit too. He's a little on the

179
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: short side too. I think he's six one six too.

180
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: That's why he was not a first round pick was

181
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: this dimension. He always gave Alhandro villain the wave of fits.

182
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: Because of that, you could like to yeah, but and

183
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't exploded from what I've seen this year coming

184
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: back from a major injury. I had some Bengals fans

185
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: coming after me because when they signed uh Um, when

186
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: they let him go and then and then signed hendricks Hendrickson,

187
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: I said, I wrote that A tweeted that you know

188
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: they could have had Carl. They could have kept Carl

189
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: Lawson cheaper than they which is true. I said the

190
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: same thing on many different airways. What happened, I would

191
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: have just kept lost in a cheaper price. And you

192
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: know this, this looks stupid now, it's still true. They

193
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: could have kept Carl Lawson. And maybe Lawson doesn't tear

194
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: his knee up. I mean, with is he given the Jets?

195
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: And Carl Lawson before he went to the Jets was

196
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: a pretty good player. I thought the same thing. And

197
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: where I was wrong was I thought Hendrickson was a

198
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: one year wonder and he's proven to be better than that.

199
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean Lawson is bad. He just blew ripped

200
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: up his knee like the second he turn the Jets.

201
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: Unif it was more to me, it was more about

202
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: Lawson and doing what was financially prudent, then it was drickson,

203
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: keep your own And this guy's an evolving player. And

204
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: you know, Lawson is a good is a good player.

205
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's back or yeah, really impact. Yeah,

206
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: his his pass rush was predicated on his speed, in

207
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: ability to turn the corner and things of that nature.

208
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that you get that back right away.

209
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if he were a power rusher, I

210
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: think he would be better off right now. Yeah, I

211
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: agree on that, you know. I mean, like he is

212
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: for a Steeler outside linebacker type, he's closer to Bud

213
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: than he is read, you know, in terms of dimensions,

214
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: but he doesn't have that Bud power. No, No, I

215
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: liked him a lot coming out. He was an Auburn guy.

216
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: UM and TJ in the first round, right, he didn't

217
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: take didn't take Lawsom. You know, if they were looking,

218
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: I thought Lawsom was would have been a nice fallback option.

219
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, And he was. He's really good a Bengal, Yeah, No,

220
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: he was. He's been to worry about. Maybe he'll play

221
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: his way back in the shape. The Steelers hope it

222
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: isn't this week. Um, Jermaine Johnson, the rookie that the

223
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: late first round pick, there's been decent. I know his

224
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: sack production isn't great, but you can see, you know,

225
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: a first round type guy there. Yeah, he's got traits. Yeah,

226
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: so I think they're happy with them. Yeah. Um, you know,

227
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: but if the Steelers take care of the football in

228
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: this game, and they should be, they should have some

229
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: offensive success. I'll be critical if they don't, you know,

230
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's kind of put up or

231
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: shut up. It's a young offense. You've played three games together. Um,

232
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: coach and Court and Nader and ye. Quarterbacks should all

233
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: have a better feel for each other's strengths and weaknesses.

234
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: You're healthy, you know, lines playing well. And it's not

235
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: a great defense. You know, you're at home. You know

236
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: you're rested. You should have offensive success. That doesn't mean

237
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: you squort forty points. You see them control the flow

238
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: four four, being nice step forward, a lot of first hounds,

239
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: constantly moving the ball, win the time possession, you know, right,

240
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: look like an NFL offense. I mean, I just you know,

241
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: I look at who the Jets have played thus far

242
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: this season, Raven's Miami's a couple of the best offenses

243
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: in the league, which doesn't help their cause. So you know,

244
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: you look at Danny, Okay that I get it, but

245
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: they as they so well know this year I'm looking

246
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: at last year. This is the one is too me

247
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: once again, this is this is a problem yesterday. Yeah,

248
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: you're you're searching. Yeah, I'll get it. Uh. Yeah. The

249
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: schedule this year is Baltimore and week one, Cleveland in

250
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: Week two, which they won thirty one thirty, and then

251
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: last week the Bengals, so they're playing all four and

252
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: if an FC North teams right in a row, Wow,

253
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: that's I hadn't even thought about that. But yeah I

254
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: thought they Miami in there, and I was wrong, but

255
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: they that's an odd opening to the schedule, HFC North

256
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: before you do anything else. Wow, so interesting. Yeah, I

257
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: wonder if that helps the Steelers because you know the

258
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: common opponents. So yeah, you know, like when you study tape,

259
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, Borrow is gonna definitely throw the out

260
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: route here and checked out, like you know, you have

261
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: a better understanding of who your opponents opponents were well,

262
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: and you just they you know, you look back at

263
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: their tape against the Browns and you just played the Browns.

264
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: You can look at their tape against the Bengals and

265
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: you just played the Bengals. Right, Like, if you're those

266
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: four AFC North teams, I'd rather be fourth than first, right,

267
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean in terms of tape prep

268
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: and whatnot. Yeah, the problem that the Steelers have that

269
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: the other three teams didn't have, I guess the first

270
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: one would. Now there's a quarterback to quarterback change, and

271
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw the ball seventy times a game. Probably not,

272
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be some kind of mix of two

273
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: thousand twenty one Zack Wilson offense and two thousand twenty

274
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: two Flacco offense. It probably won't be a carbon copy

275
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: of either. Yeah. The thing that I look at here

276
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: is they held the Ravens of sixty three rushing yards. Now,

277
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: Lamar didn't run at all that game, and Ravens only

278
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: had two total yards in that game. Ravens getting nothing

279
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: out anyone but Lamar Like, yeah, it's pretty remark and

280
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: he didn't run that first weekend. They didn't really need to.

281
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: Now against the Browns. Note I saw today Lamar has

282
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: six of their rushing yards and like of their carries. Yeah,

283
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: and fifty of his runs have gone for ten yards

284
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: or more. They gave up to the Browns on the ground. Um,

285
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Steelers just gave up. That's what the

286
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Browns do. Yeah, the Steelers. The Steelers just gave up

287
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: one seventy three. They actually held them well under their

288
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: average coming in Yeah. Uh. And then against the Bengals

289
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: last week it was sixty Bengals are I'm really excited

290
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: to watch the Bengals tonight from a run game perspective,

291
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: I want to see well and we'll see how how

292
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: healthy mixing is. The run games been awful. Yeah, well,

293
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: their offensive lines, it's just been everyone blames the protection,

294
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: but the run blocking has been equally as bad, if

295
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: not worse, if not worse. And if you're playing yeah,

296
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: I know we're not talking Dolphins, Bengals and the the

297
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: whole whole day, but Dolphins are kind of in a situation.

298
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: Steelers were in played a ton of defensive snaps in

299
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: the heat, and now you're going to a short week

300
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: on you know, Thursday night. If I'm the Bengals, I'm like,

301
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm done with these borrow sacks. I want to run

302
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: and run and run and run it and they haven't

303
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: been able to do that. The problem is is the

304
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: mixing was on the injury reports. Can you can you

305
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: do that with p Ryan? Right? I don't know if

306
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: it mixing is playing or not. It looks like he

307
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they took him off the injury report, but

308
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: I can't imagine you want him to have a full

309
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: workload on the short week, right, right, right. Maybe he's

310
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: a spot player, so it's gonna be an interesting game

311
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: for sure. But yeah, I just I just realized that

312
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: they've played the entire AC North to start the season.

313
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: They'll play their first They get the Dolphins in next week,

314
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: so they'll start their a f C sal or a

315
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: FC East schedule. I can't get these divisions. Goofy. Goofy

316
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: called one of the centrals one day this week. Yeah,

317
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: having all kinds of throwbacks here. Um yeah, so you know,

318
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: I think you can look at what they've done, at

319
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: least schematically in personnel wise, like who, okay, who do

320
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: they have trouble blocking? Um, well we handled that guy

321
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: or this, you know, this guy gave them fits. Okay,

322
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: we can attack there because we know that personnel intimately.

323
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've played against them so many times. These

324
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: type of runs work better or like you said, with

325
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: a better example. Like you said, it's kind of like

326
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: you said that boy, this type of Russia really gave

327
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: them them fits. And we saw three of them that

328
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: we know really well, and he gives us fits when

329
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: we set too far to the outside. But now we

330
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: know they didn't know that until the fourth quarter or whatever,

331
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, So that's valuable tape. Yeah, so it's not

332
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, they're flying a little blind in this game

333
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: going into this game because of the Zack Wilson factor. Um,

334
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: not so much in terms of just kind of everybody

335
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: else to familiarity with everybody else. Do we do we

336
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: expect on them to start Zack Wilson this week? Wow,

337
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: we just kind of took them on their word. You

338
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: think you might stub a toe and warm ups or something,

339
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: or could could you see something where they played one

340
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: one half of one, you know, because he hasn't every

341
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: other series or something something like this, something some kind

342
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: of something crazy like that. They have nothing to lose.

343
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that would be a slap in Wilson's

344
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: face like, we don't think you're just go to say, Zack,

345
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: you didn't play the entire preseason. You know, we we

346
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: don't want you. We don't want to just throw you

347
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: into the deep end here. We want to ease you

348
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: into a little bit. So bringing Joe in the third

349
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: series no matter what? Right, Yeah, and see how it goes.

350
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe, I mean I wouldn't put it in pass.

351
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be the craziest thing I've heard. No, that's

352
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: not nuts, um, you know, I because if I thought

353
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: they might keep him out a week longer. Because what

354
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: I what I haven't seen is I haven't seen solid

355
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: say yeah, he's our starter. All I've seen him say

356
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: is he's cleared to play. There's a difference there, even

357
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: like the Niners did that with Lance oh Land tras

358
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: the guy you don't even let Jimmy in the room

359
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: in the building or whatever, you know. I mean, they've

360
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: never really said, what are you talking about? Wilson's of

361
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: course our starter, you know, right, there's there's been none

362
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: of that. All they've said is he's cleared to play.

363
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he's going to play. See, I've just

364
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: took it a face value. That's good reporting there, but

365
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: you're digging a little deeper. I assume those that practice

366
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: have said have reported that Wilson. I don't know. I

367
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: don't know if I don't that, I don't know that

368
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: they let reporters into their practice. That's the other part

369
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: of that, because it goes back to you know, some

370
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: teams only allow you to come in and watch the

371
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: stretch portions, so you don't get to see any of

372
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: the actual who's running with the first team and that

373
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Right, that's a good question. So you

374
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: one out of three chance we see Flacco in some way,

375
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: shape or form. I wouldn't. It's not beyond the realm

376
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: of possibilities as you see Joe Flacco at some point

377
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: in this game. Yeah, okay, all right, all right. I

378
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: don't think that's terrible news for the Steelers. I mean,

379
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: he's not a superstar. But I do think I think

380
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: we said this Monday when it was announced, I think

381
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: Flacco gives him a better chance to win than Wilson. Oh,

382
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: I think so as well. I think you know, he's

383
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: he's Wilson could hit and he could look like a

384
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: different person. They did his rookie year, But um, that

385
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: would be a monumental change, to say the least. I

386
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: see and here we go. I'm looking. Here is the

387
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: first I did. Is Zack Wilson new searching. Is Zach

388
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: Wilson starting for the Jets against the Steelers. It's like

389
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: steel has never played against Flacco. Though, Yeah, I don't know.

390
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's weird. Well let's see, okay, well he

391
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: did say. Uh. Coach Salah has announced at quarterback Zack

392
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: Wilson is medically cleared to play, and if all goes

393
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: well this week, he will start Sunday. That's not, of course,

394
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: Sacks our starter, right, Aaron Rodgers off, I r of

395
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: course he started that exactly the same tone. It's not

396
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: that it's not the ringing endorsement that if everything goes right.

397
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers are kind of playing it that

398
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: way because we you know, we talked to the coordinators

399
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: today and I talked with Tarall Austin and he's like,

400
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 1: you know, well if we see him, you know, so

401
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: they're they're kind of see I've been I took the cheese.

402
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just like, oh, Wilson's gonna be there.

403
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, Joe will sit there and coach them up

404
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: on the sidelines and help translate stuff and help them.

405
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: But maybe not. I mean they're one and two and

406
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. And but if Wilson looks out of

407
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: swords or really you know, slow to get the ball

408
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: out or process, like, I don't know what, you can

409
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: leave him in there. Yeah, but it's just something it's

410
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: been nagging in the back of my mind a week

411
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: long that you know, I could see them going every

412
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: other series or you know, playing Flacco at the end

413
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: of the half or something like that. He yeah, he runs,

414
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: he runs, no huddle better, So we're gonna put him

415
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: at the end of the half. You can have all

416
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: kinds of excuses or whatever of how you want to

417
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: say it, you know, but but deep down it's a

418
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: not a re endorsement for Wilson. It is not. But

419
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: he didn't see him the entire training camp. That's you know,

420
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm Robert Sala and I'm looking at

421
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: this going, Okay, my jobs on the line here? Who

422
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: do I trust? Yeah, I'm trying to win a game, right.

423
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that Joe is great. I know Joe

424
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: isn't great, but I know exactly what he is. Yeah,

425
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: you know, and you know it's not like he was.

426
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: You know, he brought him back to in one that

427
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: Cleveland game, and he's been getting the ball out without

428
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: much help from his tackles and throw into the backs

429
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: and being crafty with the football and you know, not

430
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: much help from the run game or thirty second ranked

431
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 1: v o A. Yeah. I don't know that Joe has

432
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: been the problem, right, you know, I mean I don't

433
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: think he's the quarterback has been the biggest issue for

434
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: the Jets not playing great this year. Yeah, And I

435
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: don't think he hasn't really. I mean, he's throwing three

436
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: interceptions in a hundred fifty six passes. That's that's not terrible.

437
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: Always playing from behind, always playing from behind. Yeah, but one,

438
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, so it would not surprise me at all.

439
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: Interesting if if we if we don't see him in

440
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: the game. But to digest that a little more, because

441
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: I think that's a very real possibility. Yeah, I mean,

442
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 1: and as a coaching staff in his organization, you can

443
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: get away with it without saying you don't have to

444
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: answer the press going yeah, that's because we think Zach stinks, right,

445
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: because we just eats them back in. You know, we

446
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: didn't have our we didn't have our two tackles. We

447
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: didn't want him to get beat up. He just came

448
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: off the injury, so he's not completely and we were

449
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: so happy with how Joe played. Ye, he's a veteran.

450
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: He brings a uncanny leadership. You know, you can frame

451
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: it all different ways. Yeah. You can now listen to

452
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,479
