1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Least. He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back on Dale Lilly here with Matt Williamson and

4
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: uh well. While we were during on our break, the

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: league announced it's moving. While the league has an announced yet,

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: but we're just leaked that the Raiders and Browns will

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: now play be played Monday at five o'clock. The ram

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: Seahawks and Eagles Washington football team will both be played Tuesday. Tremendous,

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 1: tremendous mistake by the end, I think, so, I think

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: it's a bad president. But now we talked about it

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: a lot last week or last segment, but man, I mean,

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: just screws everything up. What happens, Okay, So they moved that,

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: moved the Browns Raiders to Monday. M hm. And what

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: happens when the Browns continue to have I say, it's

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: only two days. I mean, if this week pought us anything,

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,319
Speaker 1: every day keeps adding to the list, not subtracting, I mean,

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I guess it gives you a better chance to have

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: a better roster. I mean, if I'm the Browns fan,

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm happy the way they're selling this is, well, we

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: can't play when guys are still testing positive? Okay, well

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: what happens if you still have guys? If it's a

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: single guy who tests positive on Monday? How's that different?

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: How is that any different than playing on Saturday. It's not,

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: it's not. And really, the Raiders lose a day of prep.

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: You know, today's a wash. Throw that away. I guess

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: you practice tomorrow. But you don't have a practice script

27
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: or anything. What we're gonna do? You know, I don't know.

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't like it, but I guess we'll have to

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: live with it. And so now we're gonna watch football Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: Tuesday Thursday, so two days off in between in eight days.

31
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: That makes me happy. The White Wall love it? Well, yeah,

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: I just it's not official yet. But that's that's that

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: sounds like that. Yeah, that sounds like where they're leaning.

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't like get for the because of what I

35
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: said in regards to j C. Treader pushing this as

36
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: the NFL p A president. It might be a little

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: insider trading move there. It certainly has a shady look

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: to it. Let's put it that way. It doesn't help

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers, that's for sure. I don't care about that.

40
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't in favor of moving games last year. I'm

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: not in favor of moving games now again. What happens

42
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: now in the playoffs happens. What happens next week? Next week?

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: When when other teams are You know, this is affecting

44
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: a lot of teams, but mostly three teams right now?

45
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean three or hit real hard. But

46
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: who's to say it's not the Steelers, Ravens and Bengals

47
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: next week? Right? You know what I mean? Yeah? More common. Absolutely,

48
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: there's gonna be other weeks like this now, and you

49
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: just set a precedent here. What if you now have

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: to have somebody, well, we're gonna move this week a

51
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: team game. We're gonna move this game to Tuesday. Oh,

52
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: by the way, you're gonna play Saturday in the playoffs? Yeah,

53
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: I know. I mean, the whole thing is messy and

54
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: there's not a good answer, and I think just sticking

55
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: with original script was the best answer. You made a decision,

56
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: and with it, every team that gets hit hard is

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: gonna say, whoa, look what you did is middle of December.

58
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: You know, I can't play this playoff game. How cool?

59
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: How do you expect me to do that? I mean,

60
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: you thought a regular season game was important enough to switch,

61
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: why not the playoff game? Yeah? I just don't like

62
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: it at all. No, I don't one little bit um anyway,

63
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: So we're going around the league here, I guess now

64
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna be the case here. Um. Not to

65
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: mention there's injuries too. On top of all these things,

66
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: it's hard to keep up. Now, what happens if you

67
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: get guys back that wouldn't have played on Saturday because

68
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: of injury? Right, like all of a sudden cream hunts

69
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: playing you know what I mean? Like right? Like an

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: unfair I just it's not it's not an even playing field. Um,

71
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't even want We're not even gonna talk about

72
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: the Readers and Browns were said that next week. Yeah,

73
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: no sense and doing it. Patriots and Colts on Saturday.

74
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: That has to be a really good game. I'm surprising

75
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: Indianapolis favored me too, me too, and both teams coming

76
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: off by uh, they're similar styles. I mean, their physical,

77
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: downhill type teams. I just think England's noticeably better. I

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: understands in Indianapolis building. But what's Vegas know that we don't.

79
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: I don't know why the pats are getting points there. Yeah,

80
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure either. Um, you know, I still don't

81
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: necessarily trust Carson Wentz. I could see this being a

82
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: game where that, you know, feeling of distrust or mistrust

83
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: is valid on your part, you know, uh, you know,

84
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: put him in a bind. Do you know, do some

85
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: weird coverages things like that. I don't know the Taylor

86
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: is going to rip off massive gains after massive gains either,

87
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: But I don't know that you know the Patriots are

88
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: gonna score a ton of points either. There'll be a

89
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: close game, I agree. I don't think the paths uh

90
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: Panthers five and eight, it Bills seven and six, the

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Bills favored by ten and a half. Uh, the over

92
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: under forty four and a half in that game. I

93
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: think I'm taking the points just because, Yeah, I mean,

94
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: I think Buffalo has got issues. No, I think I

95
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: think I'll lay the points. Well, I don't think the

96
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Panthers and the Panthers are a disaster there. I think

97
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: they're mailing it in from here on out. I mean,

98
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: we may even see Sam Donalds at the end of

99
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: the year. Could we could see Seth Donald this week.

100
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: I think he's been he's been ruled out, but it

101
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: could be soon. Why not if you're them? I mean,

102
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: I think the Panthers are a disaster. If this was

103
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: under ten, I would lay the points. And it worries

104
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: me because the Bills have blown teams out. And but

105
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: is Alan gonna run much? I mean, I know he's playing,

106
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: but he's far from healthy. And I just think that

107
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: that their defense will cause all kinds of issues for

108
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: Carolina's offense, and they may get a score or two

109
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: at least at least I'm up set some stuff up

110
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: for the offense. Yeah, you know, I just didn't like

111
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: over ten. Yeah, Cowboys in the Panthers. Yeah, Cowboys at Giants.

112
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: The spread is a Dallas by eleven, the over under

113
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: forty four and a half. Let low over unders here

114
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: for big spreads. I think that Screams take the points.

115
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean, do I like where the Giants or Panthers

116
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: are at no but low over unders with high points

117
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: you could be making p J. Walker and Mike Lennon

118
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: to get you. Yeah, I think from might play in

119
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: this game. I mean, like, yeah, it's that bad. But

120
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. Do they get a lake

121
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: field goal or points here and there. I think the

122
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: Giants d is respectable. It's not a good matchup on

123
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: paper at all. But I mean, if we're talking spreads

124
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: over tens a sticky number for me, it is division

125
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: game in their building. Uh, Cardinals ten and three at

126
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: Lions eleven one in one, eleven one and one. I

127
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: should say Arizona favored by in the over under, I know,

128
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 1: I mean, is that the I mean, that's the trend

129
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: of the weekend in the betting world. I guess I'll

130
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: take the points, but that one's a bigger discrepancy to me.

131
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,239
Speaker 1: I mean, the Lions are bad. All their offensive weapons

132
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: are out right, James Conner practiced today. That looks like

133
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: they're going to be kind of healthy. They could get

134
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: shut out. I want the Cardinals and that I could

135
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: remember which way I leaned earlier Washington, if and in Philadelphia,

136
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about because move Jets at Dolphins three

137
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: and ten at six and seven, Miami favored by nine

138
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: and a half, the over under just forty one. I

139
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: don't mind laying the points there. I think Zack Wilson's

140
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: way in over his head. I think that Jets d

141
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: is really bad. I can see the air. I can

142
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: see the Dolphins scoring on defense or special teams. I

143
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: don't know if there'll be a ton of points, but

144
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: I don't think there might be any points from the Jets. Yeah,

145
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna get smoked. Uh, Texans two and

146
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: eleven at Jaguars to an eleven, great game. Jacksonville now

147
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: favored by five points, the overrunner only thirty nine and

148
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: a half. Prior to the Urban Meyer News, I would

149
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: have picked Houston. Yes, Now I'd probably go the other way.

150
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: I actually put a buck on Houston plus two and

151
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: a half on Monday, and I'm not thrilled about it

152
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: because like an hour later he got whatever it was.

153
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: Because I think that I think the players are gonna

154
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: want to come out and say, hey, look it wasn't us,

155
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: it was that guy. I think both defenses are though,

156
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: and I kind of like how Davis Mills played lately.

157
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: But still Jacksonville is a more talented team with the

158
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: better quarterback. And I would think that, you know, the

159
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: rock has been lifted off their shoulders here too. Yeah,

160
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: I just feel that's what happens in turn, like it

161
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: usually does. I mean they'd like what Gruden was gone.

162
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: It's usually it's short lived. I mean, I'm not gonna

163
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: probably pick the Jacks all win out or anything, but

164
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: I do think you get a boost. Uh Bengal seven

165
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: and six at Broncos seven and six. Denver favored by

166
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: two and a half. Now the over under forty four.

167
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: The Colts game and this one were the ones I

168
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: kind of raised an eyebrow with angles have some injuries

169
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: up front in their line. They do not where they

170
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: can have injuries. Yeah, and I can see Burrow not

171
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: seeing things clearly with Fangio and it's a tough place

172
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: to play. Burrows never played there, but I think on

173
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: a neutral site since he's a six or seven point favorite,

174
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think they're just a tear above the Broncos.

175
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: And they stopped the run reasonably well. I mean, if

176
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: you're gonna give me points and what I think is

177
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a really close game, I just want the points, right,

178
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: hear you. That's when I've gone back and forth on

179
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: week long. Uh. Denver has a distinct personality. Oh yeah, yeah.

180
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean they want to be physical and run the

181
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: football on offense, and they do it well. Yeah, defense

182
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: allows them to too. Both the NFL writers picking the Broncos. Yeah,

183
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean they may win it. But if I think

184
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: it's a coin flip game, so if I'm gonna get

185
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: get points, I'm gonna take them. This one looks like

186
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: it should be closer than it is the spread. Um,

187
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: but Falcon six and seven at forty nine or seven

188
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: and six. San Francisco favored by nine and a half.

189
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: It's funny we were talking about this one over under

190
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: forty six and a half. First time I saw the line,

191
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: I thought, wow, I thought this would be like a

192
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: touchdown game six and a half seven type game. The

193
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: more I thought about it, They're not gonna block posts.

194
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: San Francisco is gonna run all over them. It's not

195
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: a real complex defense. Jimmy, you'll probably do enough. Um,

196
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lay the points there. But it's a good number. Yeah,

197
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: it's a big number. Uh. Packers ten and three at

198
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: Ravens eight and five. Green Bay favored by six, which

199
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: is the same number green Bay was favored by against

200
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers in Week three or Week four. I should

201
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: say in green Bay, I don't think it's nearly enough. Yeah,

202
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean green Bay usually just kind. I don't think

203
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: Lamar's playing. He didn't practice skin today they're playing. Well,

204
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: he could still play. He's practiced all week long. He

205
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: didn't even go through the walkthrough. And it's different when Huntley.

206
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: You prepare for Huntley and you look at his weaknesses

207
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: as opposed to him getting thrust on you in the

208
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: game or whatever. Now you get some tape on him

209
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: and go back and look at those games, you look

210
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: at the preseason. He can kill that secondary. And plus

211
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: I think the Packer pass rush in front to just

212
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: destroys that we do our DFS lineup. I don't care

213
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: what better be number one by a wide margin. Yeah yeah,

214
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: if I don't care what it is, I still want

215
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: to play him. Side note, I don't talk about this

216
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: probably next segment. All these game movements to screw up

217
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: everyone's fantasy playoffs to doubt you know, so well, uh yeah,

218
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: I think like the Packers there um big Seahawks and

219
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: Rams has been moved with that one, that one's been

220
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: moved too. So three games have been moved. They moved

221
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: all three of them. So because that's the thing, he

222
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: couldn't move one of them and not the other two. Yeah, exactly,

223
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: but only one team was complaining about it. Yes, so

224
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: those there two games on Monday now and two games

225
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Okay, all right, trying to keep up. UH,

226
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: Saints six and seven at Buccaneers ten and three. UM,

227
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay favored by eleven. I like the points here,

228
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: UH and the over under forty six and a half.

229
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: The Saints usually played them, and the defense is healthy,

230
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: and yeah, eleven is too many for me. Yeah, I

231
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 1: say Tampa wins. But Kamara's back, you know, Taysom Hill

232
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: will run around and do some things. I think they

233
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: keep this game closed. Yeah, I don't disagree. That's a

234
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: lot of points to live, a lot of point over

235
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: ten spreads. They typically give the Buccaneers issues they do.

236
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: Lattimore gives Evans a tough time, and they'll hit Brady

237
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: and there the run defense is good and Peyton's good

238
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: coach Vikings six and seven at Bears four and nine.

239
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: That's the Monday night game, the late game after the

240
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: Cleveland game, I guess early in the late we even

241
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: need to talk about that. It's Monday. We'll talk about that. Monday,

242
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that money. Let's talk a little bit

243
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: more Steelers in Titans, Uh, Tennessee. Um, they get some

244
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: injury issues in this game. Yeah, they do. So we

245
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: do have some clarity on that right that we can discuss.

246
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: Saffolds out. I know that much good guard, Big Jack Rabbit, Jenkins,

247
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: Shankins Folks, Uh, David Long, David Long sidelines, sideline. They've

248
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: all been ruled out linebacker for them. It's three big losses. Yeah,

249
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: it is, uh their corner. I mean they have allowed

250
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: a lot of production to wide receivers. Was on the Uh.

251
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he's been ruled out. I dont think

252
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: he's been ruled out. But he's dealing with something. Um,

253
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: Dan Crookshank didn't practice for them. He's yeah, special team

254
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 1: or a special team. Uh. Landry was dealing with a

255
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: hamstring this week. That's something he if it keeps them out?

256
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: Which type guy? But to me, Saffold's big, it's big,

257
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: it's huge. He's an upper tier guard. He'd be the

258
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: guy lining up opposite Heyward. Yeah, right right right, No,

259
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: as you're right. Um, we had a good often mentioned

260
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: on Friday the Thursday Show I Do with Mike Pursuita

261
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: and Merril Hodge and Hodge didn't change our mind about

262
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: the Titans, but really said, don't take this team lightly

263
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: because they do what they do right. I mean, I Foreman,

264
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm shocked Foreman was out there. And they're gonna attack

265
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: the middle of the Steeler defense relentlessly, no matter who's

266
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: healthy and who isn't. But it's a heck of a

267
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: lot different when it's Henry and Saffold and you know

268
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: you have the receivers you have to worry about. I

269
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: don't trust to steal run defense one bit, to be

270
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: honest with you, And I bet the tight Titans have

271
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: success on the ground, but I don't think they'nna have

272
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: any big players on offense. And I don't know how

273
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: far that can take you. Yeah, I just don't know that,

274
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, instead of if you give up six and

275
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: seven yards as opposed to twenty and thirty, if you're

276
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: giving up last week, does that does that kill you?

277
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: Probably not if you generated, you know, a turnover. We

278
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: talked yesterday about the last eight games for Ben Roethlisberger

279
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns, three interceptions, two thousand passing yards. Last eight

280
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: games for Tanney Hill right Night and Day, eight touchdown passes,

281
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: ten interceptions, and he had Derrick Henry for three of

282
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: those games, and they had A J. Brown for some

283
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: of them, right, A J. Brown in and eight touchdowns

284
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: and ten interceptions. And it's funny though, everyone including both

285
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: of us, we Lum Polio and A. J. Brown together

286
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: ones a lot different than the other days in this game. So,

287
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: with all respect only a great career, I just think

288
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: I just look at the difference in quarterbacks and how

289
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: they're playing right now. I just think the Steelers have

290
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: a big advantage here. I do too, and I would

291
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: expect it. I think you said this Sorly a week

292
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: to to probably be a ben game. Hey, play with tempo,

293
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: run this offense the way you want. I can't see.

294
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: I'll be critical the Steelers if they just run nausea

295
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: Harrison Jeffrey Simmons, I mean, get the ball Deante Playpool.

296
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: I know you're in the doghouse and people are mad

297
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: at him right now, but he's very talented and if

298
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm those Titans, I'm worried about him a lot. You know,

299
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: Friar move the middle of field. Harris is a receiver.

300
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: I would throw the ball at high percents of the

301
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: time in this game. Yeah, I agree. Let's take a

302
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: look at that depth chart here real quick like as

303
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: we do. It's Tanny hill at quarterback. We just said

304
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: we think we think that's playing better. Steelers have an advantage,

305
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: right right right? Uh Foreman Hilliard mcne goals it running

306
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: back and um Hilliard's kind of an unknown, but he's

307
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: the passing down change of pace and he's done well

308
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: for them, you know, but last week, no, no, right

309
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: right right. I mean, considering they got these guys off

310
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: the scrap heap, these backs aren't total scrubs, um, But

311
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers have an advantage there with oh yeah, they

312
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: would love that Nagy. Yeah. Uh. Wide receiver, it's Julio Jones,

313
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: is Nick Westbrook a kin a Chester Rogers, Racy McMath is. Yeah.

314
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's like the worst group receivers in the league,

315
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: and the Steelers are better there. Tight end Jeff Swain,

316
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: Michael Prue and Anthony Ferser, and they play all three

317
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: a fair amount and they'll they'll pull some heavier sets

318
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: out without question. Friarman was better than all those guys. Yeah,

319
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: that's went four for four. Yeah, I'll take the Titans

320
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: O line over the Steelers. That without Staffold, yeah still, yeah,

321
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean Luan's not what he used to be. No, Um,

322
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: Ben Jones is okay at center. Ben Jones is a

323
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: quality center. Yeah. But then in the the right side

324
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: is Nate Davis and David Quisenberry. I think Quisenbery is

325
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: fighting something too. I'm not sure that he's not listening here.

326
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: But I mean I think the Steelers have an advantage

327
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: on the right side, attacking the right side of that line. Yes,

328
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: I do too. I mean I think they'll have a

329
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: lot of problems with the Steeler's edge pass rush. Yeah,

330
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I absolutely, And without Saffold, I mean they're

331
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: gonna have problems against Hayward. Oh yeah, without it's not

332
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: a great line. I'd give him the edge of the

333
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: Steelers line right now. Yeah. Um. So, realistically, the Steelers

334
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: have an edge on offense. Yes, so I think so.

335
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: I'm a position proposition. It's just the Titans are in

336
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: a tough spot. Um on the defensive line, Simmons is

337
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: a stud Um. He's not quite Hayward, but he's close.

338
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: It's on that path. Yeah, he's on that He's not

339
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: on that path, you know, he's he's just younger at

340
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: this point, but those around him are better amongst the

341
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: three pounders. But Tier Tart he's her nose tackle, he's out. Uh,

342
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: trayvon co Coley another gut one of their defensive ends

343
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 1: is out. So you're looking at uh this is Laurel

344
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: Mutchinson's that much of another weather backup, so so Autrey,

345
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: who was banged up this week a little bit. Autry

346
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: and Simmons are a very nice pair, Like the Steelers

347
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: would love that. That's cut not quite as good as

348
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: you know to it and Hayward in their day, but

349
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: it's a nice pair that have been highly productive for them. Um,

350
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give the Titans interior. It looks like Nick

351
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: Juan Jones will be starting at nose tackle. Not terrible though. Yeah,

352
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: I mean Stearls could use him right now. Uh. Sam

353
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: and Simmons basically cancel each other out. But I prefer

354
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: cam Um an outside linebacker. It is on the week side,

355
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: Harold Landry. Then you've got David Long, Zack Cunningham. Yeah. Um,

356
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: edge guys have to go to Steelers without a doubt.

357
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: Even if Bud were healthy and he's not gonna play

358
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: this game. But that's not a bad pairing Bud and Landry.

359
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: They're very different. Landrys. I don't know if Bud's back in.

360
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna play now. I think he

361
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: got active, he got he returned to practice this week.

362
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he's gonna play. I'm excited. Titans and

363
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: three the Titans are you're not rushing guys back for this, No,

364
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: they're the least, especially since you'll know ahead of time

365
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: what the Colts did and you've got a two game

366
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: lead on him. You got a three game lead on him.

367
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: In reality, pursuit of brought this up a bunch last

368
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: night that they don't really want any play for. There

369
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: should be no urgency in this organization by NFL standards.

370
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're just gonna be like, oh, we're losing,

371
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: that's great, but why rush anyone back? And they're not

372
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: going to get a bye, They're not gonna lose a division,

373
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: so they're gonna be somewhere between two, three, four seed,

374
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: probably the four. So what you know, this live to

375
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: fight another day as you really don't want to play

376
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: the Chargers, you know, yeah, unless you can worry about

377
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: that later. The Bills and they are going to try

378
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: to win and very welcome in to see him. But

379
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: they're one of the least desperate teams in the league. DA.

380
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: This is like that too, Like they're gonna win their division.

381
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: They're not gonna get a buy. Okay, David Long is

382
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: out for them and inside linebacker, uh be interested? Will

383
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: they start Jayon Brown or Rashaan Evans. They got Zack Cunningham.

384
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: I would assume he plays some this week at least. Yeah.

385
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: I would just say I assumed it would be Evans.

386
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: And remember, you know people talk to the Steelers. Ain't

387
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: need to go trade for Shaan Evans. Yeah, he's They're

388
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: not gonna pick up his fifth year option. He's not

389
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: gonna be back. Yeah, remember that that was the draft

390
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: of the vander rash Vanderesh didn't get his fIF fifth

391
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: year option, like none of those guys. He's got neck problems.

392
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: To Edmonds, has been okay, and I would I would

393
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: trade the Steelers linebackers for the Titans linebackers, though just

394
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: off the ball guys on the edge guys. I mean,

395
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: show Bird hasn't played well either. Bush hasn't played well.

396
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure it would trade him in

397
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: the real world. I'd still brother take my chances on

398
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: Bush's future, but that that pairing has hurt the Steelers. Yeah, Uh,

399
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: Explaine plays a lot. I think he plays a fair amount. Yeah,

400
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: more than just the dime, even like I think he

401
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: plays on rundowns. I was thinking he might be the

402
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: thinking snap guy that first and second down. He might

403
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: be on the field. You know, I don't know who's

404
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna in favor of, but he's gonna be on the field.

405
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: Might be Schobert, I know, Yeah, I think he might

406
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: lead to that room and snaps. Yeah, I agree. Uh, cornerback.

407
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: No Jenkins, so it looks like it would be Buster scrind.

408
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: You just wanted to type Jack Rabbit over and over

409
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: in your articles. They have generous Jenkins on here, so

410
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: they still Yeah, it's on ESPN site. He's genorous to me.

411
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: He's always generous to me. Uh so he is out

412
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: not good enough to change his name. He is not

413
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: Farley's on I R right, he's not playing. So it's

414
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: Buster scrin or Chris Jones. We're expecting Hayden to play.

415
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: It could be Elijah Molden maybe, but he's not really

416
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: he's a lot. Yeah, he's like him, and we talked

417
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: with him a lot in the draft. He's a feisty

418
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: five eight type guy. But if it's buster scrind, he's

419
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: a little that shouldn't be outside one after him all

420
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: day long, no matter who it is. Yeah, I agree, No,

421
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: I mean there's a reason it wasn't good when he

422
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: was good. No, I mean he was lasted in the league.

423
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: Is a and and he's the guy you target. You know,

424
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: fantasy analysts love when bust of screens on the field.

425
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: You will throw it him. Um receivers will lit this

426
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: team up. And this is why, and this is why

427
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: they used the first round pick on a corner. And

428
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: maybe next year they get something out of far leap,

429
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: But especially with Hayden's back, I want to see those corners. Uh. Safety,

430
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: it's a money hooker and Kevin Byard. Bayard is a

431
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: very good Yeah, but I'll give him in a little

432
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: little bump over him. Hooker is a good player too.

433
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: This is a nice group of safeties. They're pretty good

434
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: up the middle. Um Manka carries enough weight that I'll

435
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: take the Steelers. Yeah. The Crookshanks will you know, valuable

436
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: back up, Yeah, Big Nickel and that kind of done.

437
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: And you know, if you look at the specialists, Ranny

438
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: Bullock is kicking for them now, he's not very good.

439
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: I didn't do my homework on their special teams except

440
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: for I know it's not good. I'm not sure why

441
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: it's not good, but I know it's ranked pretty low. Yeah,

442
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: Chester Rodgers is the punt returner, and they just don't

443
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: cover very well. And I can't imagine with some of

444
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: the guys that they're missing on defense, especially if you

445
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: think there's your making special team guys like Crookshank and

446
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: and and and. Uh yeah, you know you're now forced

447
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: to start OLDA Denny. I would have thought he would

448
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: have been a core special teams guy for them because

449
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: it was for the Steelers. Uh yeah, you don't have

450
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: those guys. No, you don't have those guys. And um,

451
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: I feel like we're taking the Titans lightly because this

452
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: is like a one or two point game spread. Titans

453
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: absolutely could win this game without a doubt. Yeah, this

454
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: is definitely a toss up game. I'm thinking about starting

455
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: Foremant on my fantasy team, you know, like I mean,

456
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: but when the way we just laid it out here,

457
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: rarely do we give that many advantages to the Steelers

458
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: for nine and four team. For nine and four team,

459
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: if Derrick Henry's in, oh yeah, ifn A J. A J.

460
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: Brown is there, but yeah, you know right, I mean

461
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: they're missing a lot of changes, changes some things. I mean,

462
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: if you look at the guys they got Derrick Henry

463
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: and I are Marcus John and I are, Cameron Batson,

464
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: I are on I R A J. Brown on I

465
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 1: r uh tackle Brandon campus On on I R they

466
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: get tight end Tommy Hudson and I are. Some of

467
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: these guys aren't name right, but there are people they

468
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: like try Von Coley on I R Bud dupre on

469
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: I RT Rachod Weaver on I R R J. Bellow

470
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: and R Caleb Farley and I are Chris Jackson and

471
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: I are. I mean, there's there's a lot there that there.

472
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: I really think there's something to couple of those guys

473
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: are stars. The stars. They're they're the two best offensive

474
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: players will not play on Sunday more so than most teams.

475
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: They were clearly the most valuable guys on their offense.

476
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: You're like serious, just played the Vikes and Dalvin Cook

477
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: lit them up well. Madison probably would have too, and

478
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: Cook was great. I'm not taking away or Feland was

479
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: a big loss. But this team doesn't have a kJ

480
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: Osborne even, you know, I mean like there's and it

481
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: would be like Jefferson being out for them to you know,

482
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: like just don't the way they're constructed, they're not real

483
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: fit to handle this situation. And tanny Hill he's not

484
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: playing well, yeah, yeah he's not. I mean, this is

485
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: this is proof positive that tanny Hill maybe the maybe

486
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins were right. As much as I've been a

487
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: supporter of his um, he's been just a guy. It's

488
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: not right. It has not been pretty in the last

489
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: six weeks or in particular he touchdowns ten interceptions the

490
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: last ten or last eight weeks. I should say again,

491
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: I just keep going back the lack of explosive plays. Yeah,

492
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: they can't. Either they can't or they don't try to

493
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: get the ball down the field. I think we mentioned

494
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: this earlier in the week, but the Jags sacked him

495
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: four times too, and a game they were winning, game

496
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: they were winning that they didn't have to take any chances.

497
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: Wasn't like seven step drop after seven step drop. Their

498
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: their offensive lines built a run block and They didn't

499
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: run the ball particularly well in the game. They didn't

500
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: do anything particularly well in that game. If you look

501
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: at the you look at the Jags played like a

502
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: team to try to get their coach fired. They succeed

503
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: everybody won. Yeah, they really did. I mean, if you

504
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: look at that game from they had no skill. Guys

505
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: get the fifty yards. Yeah, it's just very pedestrian performance

506
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: that almost every team in the league would have won

507
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: that game twenty to nothing. That's why I don't know that.

508
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: You know, when you look at it, Um, if even

509
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: with the Steelers defense playing the way it hasn't they'd

510
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: been better at home. That's true. Um, you know, I

511
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: look at this and I'm like, Okay, So Dante forming

512
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: at third team forty seven with a long run of

513
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: eight against the Jaguars. Uh McNichols had eight for sixteen

514
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: and he had a twelve yard run, right, Hilliard had

515
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: six or thirteen. The Titans offense was not impressive. Yeah,

516
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: the defense was, I mean competition Jaguar. The Jaguars made

517
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: it pretty easy for them because they ran eight times

518
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: in the game for eight yards exactly exactly. And Lawrence

519
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: was in over his head and throwing picks. He was

520
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: for two yards for interceptions, Like that's that's just not

521
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, tanne Hill was. I mean, if you just

522
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: isolated on Tannehill or just the offense, you would think

523
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: they lost that game. Oh yeah, you know. I mean

524
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: it was not a very good performance by the Titans office.

525
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: And again, they may run all over the Steelers and

526
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: Tannehill is capable of making big throws. I mean, he's

527
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: a professional quarterback. He's a good player. But I think

528
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: he'll probably have a Cousins like game, which wasn't impressive

529
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: last week either. You know, I agree with lesser weapons

530
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: without the Justin Jefferson factor. Yeah, I mean, just nobody

531
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: on this offense right now, including Julio Jones. He's super scary.

532
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 1: I mean Julio Jones. He had four for thirty three

533
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: last week. Week one was the last time Julio played

534
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: seventy of the snaps. Like, even when he's right, he's

535
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: not right. I mean, he's a part time player. He's

536
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: in and out of the lineup, you know. I know,

537
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: he's just coming off you know, injury last week, but

538
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: they got up in the game and didn't play him

539
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: much in the fourth quarter. I mean he's held together

540
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: by advantages that I mean thedectape at this point. Yeah,

541
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree that he's not to pick up

542
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: people thought he was. Now he is. Matt Williamson. I'm

543
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: Dale Lally. You're listening to the drive here on Steelers

544
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: Nation Radio. We're gonna take a break when we come back,

545
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: time for the Fantasy Football Focus. We will do that

546
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: right after this
