1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: your seven Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: We are back on Dally here with Matt Williamson and

4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: that we're talking h a FC right now. The every

5
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: team in the in the conference now has at least

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: two losses. Yeah, that's crazy. There really is. I mean,

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: there's it's a much more wide open thing or situation

8
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: than Oh yeah, I mean it's I mean for the

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: Steelers in particular, I mean they're far contrary to what

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: some of our listeners think, they're far from out of it,

11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: out of being the top seed, as I say, I mean,

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: it's there for the taking to really make it interesting

13
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: at least or you know, certainly be in the hunt

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: down the road. I meant to tell you this before,

15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: but happy belated um tight end a national tight end.

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: It's not young tight end, hot young hot young tight ends.

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: We'll celebrate that at a different time in the off season.

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: But how you the national tight end day without Waller

19
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: Kid or or Gronk. I mean, come on, but anyway, yeah, tough, tough, yeah, absolutely.

20
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: But so we're going through the teams that we believe

21
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: are contenders for the Super Bowl or contenders for a

22
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: playoff spot. I think you only came up with two

23
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: teams Buffalo, Buffalo and Kansas City and the c we're

24
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: the only two that you said, yeah, they're contenders for

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bow. Wow, somebody has to go. And it

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: might not be one of those two, right the one

27
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: one of the two that we've talked about. Kansas City

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: is not even in the playoffs, right right? I mean

29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: I think there's five in the NFC right there you

30
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: can all make strong cases for. And I don't even

31
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: know if they're better than the other a FC teams.

32
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean they're all better in the Chiefs, that's for sure.

33
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: Al Right. How about this little game. We haven't talked

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: about the Steelers yet, right, we will? What if what

35
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: do you want the Bills and Chiefs or the other

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: four teen teams to represent the a f C in

37
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and Chiefs why not make the playoffs?

38
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: I might go with the other four times the Bills

39
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: would be by they'd be like two to one. Yeah. Yeah.

40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: Like if if we were picking, if you're to n

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: an FC draft, I would say you can either have

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: the first overall pick or the next two because they

43
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: could both take the Bills. But then I went the

44
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: next two to make it even you know what I mean?

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: But the next three, right, I don't even know who

46
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: those two would be though. Would Kansas City be one

47
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: in your next two? Yeah, they're in a bad spot, man. Yeah,

48
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: they're just playing bad football. Right, but they go to

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, lot they're playing bad football. They are

50
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: really bad football. Um, let's take a look at their

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: schedule here real quick. Okay, what they have and I

52
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: know they have a lot of division stuff left. I

53
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: mean the teams they've beating at the Browns, the Eagles

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: in Washington, Right, I start exactly, you know who's who have?

55
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: What they're collective when loss getting not good? Now they

56
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: get they get the Giants this week. Gotta think they

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: get right on that one. But I didn't think the

58
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Giants would beat the Panthers. Then they play the Packers,

59
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: probably in trouble there. Then they play it at Las Vegas. Wow,

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: huge game, huge game, a huge game. And they get

61
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Wow. I know they have first play schedule,

62
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: and they play the Broncos that's at home, and they

63
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: get the Raiders at home. Then they they're at the

64
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Chargers and they get the Steelers that's in their building

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: right there. Then they're at Cincinnati ouch, and then they

66
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: finish off at the Broncos. So they current rate with

67
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: way the way they're playing right now as we sit here,

68
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: I can see where they finished with like eight wins. Yeah,

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean, so not only do they have a first

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: place schedule, which is tough, you know, without a question,

71
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: their division is tough. And they play the a f

72
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: C North, Yeah, I mean, which has I mean there's

73
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: not many easy ones. There's no layoup, right, and they

74
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: played a couple of the layups. I mean, they got

75
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: the Giants this week too, and they should win that.

76
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean. They also play the NFC East, which three

77
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: of the four which outside of Dallas is a bunch

78
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: of layups, but two of them are already will tear

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: them apart. What's the over under that game gonna be

80
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: a million? Oh my god? Yeah, what's I mean, what's

81
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: the highest it's ever been for an NFL game? It's

82
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: gonna be like, where's that game at? If you're still

83
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: looking at this game is in Kansas City. Okay, let's

84
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: say they play this game that game this week. Dallas

85
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: is favored, right, even in KSE Well maybe not. I

86
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: mean that's a weird place. And they are the Chiefs

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: and Vegas, doesn't you know, people bet on the Chiefs,

88
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: but I would pick the Cowboys. Neither one of them

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: has a great defense. I mean the Chiefs are atrocious.

90
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: That Cowboys are better. Yeah, the Cowboys are what Kansas

91
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: City used to be, right, but with a better running game,

92
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: with a better with within a much more effective running

93
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: right right now, Dallas is a legit contender. Yeah. The

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: UFC is interesting though, I mean it's funny that when

95
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: you said that, Like, I only came up with two

96
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: contenders and one of them has a losing record and

97
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: hasn't have a really could win on their on their roster.

98
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: I could definitely see Baltimore or Cleveland turning into that,

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: or the Chargers convincing me with a run, but they're

100
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: all far from it. Yeah, and I don't think the

101
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: Raiders are for real. No, I don't either. I think

102
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: they're good. They're way better than I thought they were,

103
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: but they're remaining schedule. They're at the Giants this week.

104
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: I think they have the hardest schedule in the league

105
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: by some of those advanced metrics and well they had

106
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: it before the season started, but everybody assumed the Chiefs

107
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: were good right right right right there at the Giants

108
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: this week, and she's for the Giants this week. The

109
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: Chief's actually know the Raiders runna buy. Raiders buy then

110
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: then they play the Giants fair enough, then they play

111
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at home. It's actually a good time for

112
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: a buy. For the Raiders. I want to keep playing.

113
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: They're playing well, and for the Giants that might they

114
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: could get some guys back by then. That's two more

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: weeks from them. Uh. Then you get the Bengals at

116
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys Washington. They'll be should win. That should have

117
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick back by then, yeah, I think so. There's been

118
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: news today that he's coming off. He's gonna be eligible soon.

119
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: And you're at the Chiefs. Big games at the Browns.

120
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Those Raider Chiefs games could be as important as any

121
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: divisional games in the league right now, because none of

122
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 1: them probably. I don't know what the Chiefs can afford

123
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: to split those right right. I mean, I feel like

124
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have to knock because then you kind of

125
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: knocked the Raiders out of it, and you know, yeah,

126
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: then they play the Broncos at home at the Colts,

127
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: and then Chargers to finish up the season. Yeah, that

128
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: seems like five the rest of the way. Maybe if

129
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: they go five D the rest of the way, they're

130
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: probably a play probably in they gets seven. Now that

131
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: they they go six and five or five and six,

132
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: they get to test ten wins, Yeah, possible. I mean

133
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: they're the two seed right now too. Who do you

134
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: think it wins the West? I still like Chargers to Yeah,

135
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's take a look at their schedule.

136
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: It's Patriots this week, the win there at the Eagles.

137
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: Like your chances there that these are teams, Well, the

138
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: Patriots are giving them problem because the Patriots run the

139
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: ball like crazy. But I'm sure that they've made adjustments.

140
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: But the two games that Herbert really struggled in last

141
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: year as a rookie where the Patriots type schemes, it

142
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: was Patricia and Belichick. You know, I'm sure they've adjusted,

143
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: but you know, then they get the Vikings at home,

144
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: then they get the Steelers at home. That could be

145
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: a four O stretch though at the Broncos, five and

146
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: O stretch at the Bengals. Okay, like when the Chargers

147
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: are at Giants at home, Chiefs at home at the Texans,

148
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Broncos at home at Raiders. Yet the Churches, Churches are

149
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: winning that division. They're gonna win like twelve games. Yeah,

150
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: less injuries crush them. You know they're coming off of

151
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: by now you get guys like Mike Williams healthy, that

152
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: seems like three more losses. Yeah, just the off the

153
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: thought of my head, and I mean lose to team

154
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: like the Steelers that you they'd be favored in there,

155
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: the one team when the Steelers go west, the Chargers

156
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: of the one team where they've they've had success against.

157
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Out of all of them. They don't win in Oakay,

158
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: they don't win against the Raiders, they don't win against

159
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: the Rams, they don't win against the forty niners. But

160
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: the Charter they always beat the chart. I I can't

161
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: explain it right, And I'm sure a lot of Steeler

162
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: fans go with them on that trip. Fans charges in

163
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: a good spot. Um so what do we think of

164
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers? Are the Steelers a contender? I think there

165
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: are playoff contending their playoff contender without question? And what

166
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: do we think needs? I mean, I think a ten

167
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: win team gets in. Yeah, I don't know if an

168
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: eight win team gets in. No, I don't think any

169
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: I think you'll be a nine. They're probably at least

170
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: one nine. But you're gonna have to win some tiebreakers, right, Yeah,

171
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: that makes sense, Steelers. Tiebreakers aren't a great not great.

172
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: Right now, because you've lost the Cincinnati lost to the Raiders,

173
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: you get an opportunity two even things up against the Bengals. Yes,

174
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: that won't be the Raiders lost Looms. Yeah, that could

175
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: certainly be a tiebreaker that hurts you. Um, you get

176
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: to play the Titan's right, You get to play the

177
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: Ravens twice. You get to play the Browns twice. These

178
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: are games. These these games take on greater importance. You

179
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: get to play everybody ahead of them. They play in

180
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: a way. I'm sure you'd rather play the Texans and

181
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: Lions and you know, every week and just win. But

182
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: at least you have a power over the teams you're

183
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: playing against with you know, like boy, those games will

184
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: mean more almost when all what happens there you could afford,

185
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: you know, splitting with Cincinnati and Baltimore in Cleveland probably

186
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: doesn't help you win a division if you go you know,

187
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: four and two in those games, you know, probably not bad.

188
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: Before we dig into the Steelers, what's the Bengals remaining schedule,

189
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: because what if they I mean, what if they win

190
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: four or five in the division. Well, this week they

191
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: have the Jets, right, I know, it's then they play

192
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: the Browns. Then they're at the Raiders. If they played

193
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: the Browns today, their favored right, yes, no matter what building,

194
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: but that one's at home. H at the Raiders. Then

195
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: they get the Smilers, and they get the Chargers as

196
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: they're both at home. Then they get the forty Niners

197
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: that's also at home. That doesn't look nearly as hard

198
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: as it used to. And they're at the Broncos, Ravens

199
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: at home, Chiefs at home, and at the Browns. They

200
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: had a bunch of home games, a bunch of home games. Yeah,

201
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: they've been really good on the road. There's some tough

202
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: games there though, there's some tough games there, but three

203
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: or four wins. They're five and two right now. I mean,

204
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: if you if you give them, if you'll give them,

205
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna beat the Jets this weekend. Six um. I

206
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: think they beat the Browns at home, that would be seven. Yeah, Okay,

207
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean nothing. We won't put that. We won't put

208
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: that down. Don't count that a right. So we get

209
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: them the Jets as a gimme, We give them gimme.

210
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no gimmes. But at Denver they're favored. Yeah.

211
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: I think they win that game right now, easily and night.

212
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: So there's there's three gimmes there in the sting. They

213
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: get to eight to eleven ish, yeah, I mean, they're

214
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna win more than just those three. They're going, Yeah,

215
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: they're going there's three gimmes on the schedule already. Yeah,

216
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: they would have to really implode. They had hard by injuries,

217
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: but they've beaten the Vikings, Steelers, Jaguars, Lions, and now

218
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Yeah. I mean, so that's kind of you know,

219
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: it comes back to what we talked about before the

220
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: season ever started, like the schedule is huge. Denver's a

221
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: perfect example, or Caroline is a perfect example where they

222
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: both those guys were three and oh against Patriots are Yeah,

223
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: they're a nice example to the lost to the Dolphins.

224
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: It looks awful right now. Not. I mean, the Steelers

225
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: have that Bills win to hang their hat on and Frankly,

226
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: their losses to the Ravens, Raiders, and Bengals are not

227
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: embarrassing by any stretch for where those teams are at. Yeah. Interesting, Um,

228
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: where was I going with that? I had what needs

229
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: to happen for the Steelers too. I'm starting to think

230
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: what worries me? Not most about the Steelers, but and

231
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: you we look at their matchups. You mentioned Tennessee, you

232
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: mentioned certainly we'll talk a lot of Browns, downhill power

233
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: running teams. To me or what worries me right now?

234
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: It's not that I'm worried more about the defense than

235
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: I am the passing game or the offense or any

236
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: of the offense is worse than the defense, we know that.

237
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: But the offense is trending the right direction. The thing

238
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: that I keep thinking about, and why I keep bringing

239
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: that up, is if I'm Cleveland this week, if I'm Tennessee,

240
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep the Steelers in their three man

241
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: defensive line all the time, no matter what I mean.

242
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna if you're gonna go to Nickel, You're

243
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna be far less physical than the team I'm putting

244
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: out there. You know, I'm laying a lot of tight ends, fullbacks,

245
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: maybe even extra offensive lineman. I want warmly and every

246
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: defensive lineman not named Hayward to play as many snaps

247
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: as I possibly can, and even if it's not fruitful

248
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: for a while, and um, you know Edmond is in

249
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: the box a lot, and all those things will happen.

250
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: You gotta stop Chub or Henry thirty times or twenty

251
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: five times between the tackles. I mean, that's what I'm

252
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: doing as the Steelers, and therefore you're probably you know,

253
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: eating up a lot of time possession. And you know,

254
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: those defensive linement around Cam need to hold up. They

255
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: need to hold up, or they need to get better,

256
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: or the Steelers need to go out and get somebody

257
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: else who is better. Yeah. I mean you mentioned like

258
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Tim Settle or you know, I mean not that he's

259
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: a superstar, but a nose tackle type. You know, it

260
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be Hampton. But that's that's to me,

261
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: is a weakness that looking at future opponents, can they

262
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: beat you up down the middle? I think of the

263
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: ones that the Steelers are gonna try to avoid. Yeah,

264
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: because you know, I when you're playing the Steelers, you

265
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: want to avoid their pass rush. Yeah, I mean they're

266
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: pretty good on the edges and outside the numbers. The edges.

267
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: What's the thing about the Steelers even last year they

268
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: didn't stop to run great, but they got a lot

269
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: of tackles for losses. Yeah, big play on a drive,

270
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: you know, So you give up a five yard run,

271
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: you give up another five yard run, then you get

272
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: a stop for minus two. Now all of a sudden,

273
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: it's second and twelve. Now you can rush the passer. Yeah,

274
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, and then you bring your extra d backs

275
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: out and all the blitz packages and all that stuff. Right. No,

276
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: the early downs are will worry me a little bit

277
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: for where they're how they're constructed. It's a problem. So

278
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: you look at the you know, but they're fresher coming

279
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: off of Bye two. I mean, like, I do expect

280
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: those big men warmly hasn't played those mount Snaps Carlos Davis. Yeah,

281
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: I do expect that group to be better this week

282
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: than they were last week. Time we saw the uh

283
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: they had the Browns this week. That's a downhill running team,

284
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: and they play the Bears. That's a downhill running team.

285
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: That's their only that's the only thing that they can do. Yeah,

286
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: Lions not so much. No, no, they're not. That's not

287
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: a bad line when healthy, but it's not healthy at

288
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: the Chargers. That's not their style. That's not their style.

289
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: At the Bengals can be, They can be, but they

290
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: don't want it. It's not what they're built to do.

291
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean they're a heavy, empty team and three wide

292
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: and you know, then they get the Ravens. But I

293
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: actually like their matchup against the Ravens. I mean, people don't.

294
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: They swept the Ravens last year and they won the

295
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: game in Baltimore when Lamar started. I'd love Lamar. I

296
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: mean I would have a lot more fear respect if

297
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: they guess Edwards right, you know what I mean, if

298
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: they had a professional running back. I mean, one guy

299
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: that knows the system that they like, that they trust.

300
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: Now hand theball off the ghost of Bell and just

301
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: throwing a bunch of a fan And I think if

302
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: I raised him right now, I might beat him. He

303
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: looks little to me too. He looks lean and not

304
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: the same and wearing a weird number. I just see

305
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: no Burst, what's that right? And Freeman and that one

306
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, but yeah, he's not the same at all.

307
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: Then they played the Titans. And there's also some value

308
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: and we saw it with the Bengals. If you face

309
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: Lamar a few times, you have a better ye if

310
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: you don't play that team often, they're really hard to prepare.

311
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: I forgot to fight. They're at Minnesota. Then they get

312
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: the Titans downhill running teams. Yeah yeah, I mean they

313
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: need to get that fixed. I mean everyone's gonna do

314
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: the same things on You don't want the Steelers to

315
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: have six defensive backs on the field and you're not

316
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: sure what position Norwood was playing. You want you want

317
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: Davis and you know the bugs and those guys on

318
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, at the Chiefs, you don't have to

319
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: worry about to run there Browns again and then the

320
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: Ravens again. So yeah, uh to me, that's a weakness

321
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: that needs to get fixed. That's who it can help

322
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: on something that needs to be addressed. And if to

323
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: be addressed, I'm sure into you know, in the in

324
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: that building they have an idea of when they have

325
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: an expectation that two it might be back. Um, but

326
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: even if you even if you know he's going to

327
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: be back at some point, you know, a lua lose

328
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: not right, I still want to play with three defensive

329
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: if you're not Yeah they got one, Yeah you get

330
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: you could get too, could But how what's to a

331
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: gonna be like that's the part of the equation. Is

332
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: he gonna play sixty snaps? I'm Kevin Colbert, I'm on

333
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: the phone. I I know you know I should know this,

334
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: but finding a big man is not easy. But I

335
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: don't know how many draft picks they have right now

336
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: that they can trade, because you know they're counting on

337
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: comp pis. You can't trade them before you get them,

338
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: so they don't have a ton of compensation. They're not

339
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: going to trade. Contrary to what some people say. I'm

340
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: sure they're not gonna send James Washington somewhere for a

341
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: nose tackle. He's not going anywhere. You know, you're trying

342
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: to win now, there's nobody. You're not gonna trade Ebron

343
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: or you know, I mean that you have to trade

344
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: a pick. I don't know. I don't know they have

345
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: a lot to give up those mid rounders. They don't.

346
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: But you know you could trade the next you know,

347
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: two year future something um. Because they traded the sixth rounder. Um,

348
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: they gave up fifth rounder for Avery Williamson. Um rounders,

349
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: so they get the extra one there. Um, they used

350
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,959
Speaker 1: a sixth round they traded to Jacksonville for Schobert. Okay,

351
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: they moved up for louder Milk. That was a fourth

352
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: rounder this year. Right, So they gave a pick for Weatherspoon. Yeah,

353
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: they gave him a fifth round pick for Witherspon doesn't

354
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: leave a lot left. Yeah, Now, I mean I'm not

355
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: giving up Day two picks. No, not unless I'm getting

356
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, somebody good back, somebody who I have control over,

357
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: and right, not someone that's a I mean, I'm not

358
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: renting Tim Settle for the rest of the year for

359
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: a third round pick. Yeah. That that that I don't

360
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: have that, you know, because they have they're gonna have

361
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: off season needs and concluding quarterback. But again, that's the

362
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: biggest glaring need right now. It's my biggest concern. And

363
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: if you feel like they have the cap space to

364
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: make a move, they could fit someone in. Um looking

365
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,239
Speaker 1: here to see exactly this thing, and I'm sure they

366
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: can figure out compensation. It's not like they have no

367
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: cards in their hand whatsoever. Okay, so they have a one,

368
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: two or three, they don't have a four. We're expecting

369
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: them to get at least a three. I mean, again,

370
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: they can't trade these things, but the compic is gonna

371
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: be nice. They're projected to get a fifth round compensatory

372
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: pick as well as a third I think, and then

373
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: they've got two sevens. But you can't trade the fifth

374
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: round compensitories because you don't have it doesn't exist yet

375
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: right now. Could you get it? Could you get a

376
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: guy for a seventh round pick? Maybe? Maybe? Maybe? And

377
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: the ones the one seventh round pick that they have

378
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: is from the Jets at least, so it's gonna be

379
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: like the first It might be the first overall seventh

380
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: round pick. And they're gonna and they're a really young team,

381
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: and once bends out of the equation, they'll be a

382
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: really young team. And I don't know if you even

383
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: count him anyways, because I mean he's you know, he's

384
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: a singular position. The old line got a lot younger.

385
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: And I don't know this upcoming draft class, but I

386
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: do know it's going to have more bodies times a

387
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: million than the last one. I mean, there's all these supers.

388
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you can mind that undrafted, it's only so

389
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: many guys that are gonna get drafted. I take this

390
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: back in because I've seen him in a Steeler uniform.

391
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: But I had a real problem with the louder Milk

392
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: move at the time, like he's the he's the X factor.

393
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: He's the X factor though, because he say they could

394
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: be that guy. Yes, and I would give him more

395
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: snaps like that would be one of my biggest things

396
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: going on to this as Okay, Isaiah, we need you

397
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: to be double your snap count. The problem is he's

398
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: not a nose, He's not knows but he's a good

399
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: talented body. The question then becomes, do you think Carlos

400
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: Davis can be that nose? And again, we don't need

401
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: these guys to be hamped in. I mean just big

402
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: anvils in the middle of the line. Get this again,

403
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: the tackles for losses. Yeah, keep your keep your linebackers

404
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: from having guards firing out in their faces. Just be

405
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: able to force the double team and hold up, hold

406
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: up against it and don't let them easily get free.

407
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: Releases the Bush and Schobert and those guys, but go

408
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: a long way, because that's what people are killing. Schobert

409
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: and Bush. That's the problem right now. That's I think

410
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: the people in front of them are the problem. That's

411
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: like killing nausey for not getting enough yards per caring

412
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: they're getting there, getting of either if it's not if

413
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: it's not the fullback coming through the whole at them.

414
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: When they when they're the other team does have a fullback,

415
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: they're getting a guard in their face. Yeah, that's not

416
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 1: what they're designed to do. It's one of those things

417
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: that kills me. But you read the draft perspectus on

418
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: somebody and struggles to get off blocks. Well, any two

419
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: pound guys going to struggle to get off a block

420
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: of a three pounds strow Yeah, right, right, slip like

421
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: one out of every ten, or you know he evade him.

422
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: But a lot of times when you do, you know,

423
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: slip that block. There the running backs running through the

424
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: hole right where you you go to the right and

425
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: he goes to the left. I got away from the block,

426
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: but I just created a hole. The idea is to

427
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: take those you know, the ideas of not first of all,

428
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: not have those guys get blocked and the tackles create. Right,

429
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: That's how it's that's how it's type of teams. And

430
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: obviously they've drifted away from two gapping in Hampton and

431
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: Smith and those guys. Um, but no, it's a problem

432
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: right now because I don't think that Bush and Showberg

433
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: er boss site and I think that they are what

434
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: they are. I mean, they're coverage guys. I thought they

435
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: both played hit and run linebackers. They cover a ton

436
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: of ground speeds more important than you know, you don't need.

437
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: Earl Holmes would be a problem right now, you know,

438
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean even level Kirkland might as well as he ran,

439
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, like world changed, but you gotta plan accordingly,

440
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: and they did, but they just got hit at the

441
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: wrong spot, you know. So I do think though, kind

442
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: of along the low remote conversation, they now have to

443
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: it aside and Tyson lu lu aside. Everybody else looks

444
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: like they're healthy and they have a lot of guys.

445
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: So if the rotation, you know, it can make up

446
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: for it, okay, you know, everyone to step up a

447
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: little warmly is not playing sixty snaps, he's playing forty two.

448
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: It's on the horizon. But it worries me, I mean concerned. Yeah, yeah,

449
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: And you know that's why I think, you know, if

450
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: they do happen to make it, if they would make

451
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: a move there, it might elus more about potentially what's

452
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: what's going on with tow it And I think you're

453
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: an agreement here too. I mean, if you're gonna make

454
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: a move anywhere, I mean, it would be for a

455
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: d tackle, nose tackle type that's what you need. Yeah,

456
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean the old line is not perfect, but it's

457
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: coming together. You're not gonna get someone better than choose

458
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: or you know what I mean, Like, you're not gonna

459
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: get the land of pace, you know, like those guys

460
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: aren't in the market. Um, you're not gonna trade for

461
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. You know, You're you're not gonna trade for

462
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson this year, you know what I mean? Like, Yeah,

463
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: there's gonna be needs in the off season, but the

464
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: only one that's worth talking about for trade deadline is

465
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: D line. Yeah, you know, I would even explore And

466
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: I know, just give me a big guy that can

467
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: hold down the middle for ten place. And I wonder

468
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: the Jonathan Hankins of the world that lasts forever that

469
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: have been doing this. There's probably a couple on the streets.

470
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: There's probably a couple on the streets that aren't doing

471
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: anything right now that you wonder what shape they're in. Well,

472
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: but that's not a position where you have to, like

473
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: you say, I got to two plays, I go right,

474
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: I go left. That's it. Yeah, give me some first

475
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: down snaps against the you know, the Brown linebackers to

476
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: make some place. Just be big and muck it up

477
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: because they're going to test them again. There's gonna be

478
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps, I think with three D linemen

479
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: on the field with a w without doubt, and he

480
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: was gonna take another break. He is Matt Williams and

481
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lullet. You're listening to the drive here on

484
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,879
