00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on your home of the Black

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: and Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back to Drive. I'm

3
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: Dale Lally here with Matt Williamson. Matt, we're just talking

4
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: off the air about the the n f C North.

5
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: Interesting for the division. Interesting week for sure. Now it

6
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: starts off with tonight with the Bengals hosting the Jaguars.

7
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: That's not interesting, no, but but a fun young game.

8
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of guys we like coming

9
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: out of the draft and to first overall pick quarterbacks,

10
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm really interested to see are the

11
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Bengals to the point where they can treat this like

12
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: a bit Is this trip? You know what I mean?

13
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: Like I just simply business. You got a bad team

14
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: on a short week coming to your building. I was

15
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: just watching we got we got the NFL network, NFL

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: Network on here in earlier they had Is this a

17
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: statement game for the Bengals kind of in that you're

18
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: not drinking the champagne from beating the rival that has

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: whipped you for so long, that you can put that

20
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: in the back burner and be businessmen and handle a

21
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: game you should win, you know, I mean, I was

22
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: talking to my podcast today. It's like, I don't know

23
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: if the Bengals should be seven a half point favorites

24
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 1: over anyone, you know, but in a game like this,

25
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: I think they're to the point where both their lines

26
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: of scrimmage their quarterbacks are pretty decent now that they

27
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: should be able to control a young, upstart type team,

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: because they're a step beyond that. Now. Yeah, I don't

29
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: if I seven had points, but you know, yeah right.

30
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: The more interesting games to me are the ones being

31
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: played in Denver in Minneso soda. Yeah, yeah, uh, the

32
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: Ravens gotta have to go to Denver. We don't, we don't.

33
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if Denver is a good football team

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: or not. I think they are. I think they'll be.

35
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: They played they played the Jets to Giants and the Jaguars, yeah,

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: and beat them bad and beat them all badly, which okay.

37
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: But they've had some injuries too, you know, child, and

38
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: they've lost two of their receivers. Here's the thing though,

39
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson miss practice again today with I wonder how

40
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: he's feeling. It's a back injury. He's gotten beat, he's

41
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: gotten hit a lot, and that Denver defense will hit him.

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's a great defense and it's very very

43
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: well coached. I mean everyone talks about like Brandon Staley

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: and these guys, that's great. They all learned from Fangio,

45
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: you know, like he's the orchestrator of the style of defense.

46
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: Mon Miller's back. It's a good group. I always been

47
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 1: playing in Denver's a challenge, just you know your air.

48
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: And I will say this, if it comes down to

49
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: a last second field goal in Denver, he might be

50
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: good from seventy yards right a sixty six. You know,

51
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned for the Brownies and the Ravens

52
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 1: this week. They're not easy games. I think we'll learn

53
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: a lot about who the Broncos are and I would

54
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: be shocked if that's a high scoring game. Steelers play

55
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: them next week, yeah right right. I mean, it's obviously

56
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: a great game to watch for a couple of reasons

57
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: for Steeler fans. Um. I think Baltimore is the better

58
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: team if I were to power rank them right now,

59
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: but not my leaps. Want I say that about this

60
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: current version right now of the Ravens. You know, I

61
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: think we talked about Tuesday. I mean, the Ravens are

62
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: very close to being an O and three team, you know,

63
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: it's not the league works. I mean, I think Denver

64
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: will take advantage of that offensive line, I would think so, Yeah,

65
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean Jackson's gonna get hit more. Yeah, I got

66
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: no doubt about that in my mind. Yeah. So that's

67
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: not an easy game, not an easy game at all. Um.

68
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: And then Minnesota, you want to talk. You know, I've

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: heard a lot of stuff. Kevin Stefanski knows that defense,

70
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: how to beat that defense. Why doesn't that work on

71
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: the other side of the of the ball? Zimmers better?

72
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: The Zimmers, Zimmers worked with, he came up under Zimmer.

73
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: All right, I mean there's there's a Jedi Paddawan thing here.

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: A good I mean, like one's been around the block

75
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: a little more than the other. And so Fantasy looks

76
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: like a fine coach. Um, But they have not protected

77
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: Mayfield particularly well. In Minnesota is a challenge. I mean,

78
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: that's not an easy place to play either. Crowd noise

79
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: and their protection is a little worrisome already. As I mentioned,

80
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: if the Brown if Chubb and Hunt run for over

81
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: two yards between them, they're gonna win this game. And

82
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: that could certainly happen. But you mentioned off the air

83
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: and steel what you said, the Vikings quarterbacks went better

84
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: than the Brown's quarterback this year, and it really isn't closed.

85
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: And that's not even a knock on Mayfield. But Cousins

86
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: is playing very well, right right right, I mean, so

87
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: we'll see um and they could go. I mean, I

88
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: don't think the Bengals will lose tonight. Um. The other

89
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: games are very small spreads. But again, something you said

90
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: off the areas, it wouldn't blow me away of Cincinnati

91
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: is sitting by themselves in first place when it's all

92
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: said done at the end of the week, which we

93
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: would never have thought, you know, a month or two ago,

94
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: But I think it's possible. Yeah, I'm just to me,

95
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: the biggest thing, if I'm the Ravens, I'm I'm starting

96
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: to get a little a little concerned about the workload

97
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: that lamar Jackson Jack And that's that's why it doesn't

98
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: make any sense to me. Like Tyson Williams, I think

99
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: got two carries last week or so, he played almost

100
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: fifty of the snaps but only got two carries. And

101
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: they're they're flirting with with Tavis Murray and these guys too,

102
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: and there probably is a trust factor with some of

103
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: these older guys that they know that they know where

104
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: Williams is still learning. But man, they need the backs

105
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: to carry the ball a lot, like I feel a

106
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: lot different a J. K. Dobbins right now, differently about them.

107
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: If Marcus Peters was planning, yeah, he's not the gust

108
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: twenty times okay. I mean it won't be pretty, but

109
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: it'll be banging away and it saves lamar, you know.

110
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: I mean they're throwing a lot of higher percentage than

111
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: they used to, and I'm sure they want to do

112
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: some of that by design, but not as much as

113
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: they are because he's getting hit in the pocket. Then

114
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: when he throws, which is into his runs. If he's running,

115
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: he can at least protect himself. If he's standing in

116
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: the pocket throwing the football, he can't protect himself. And

117
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: he's not a big guy. I've heard some media folks

118
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: say that there's been studies the quarterbacks get hurt in

119
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: the pocket at a higher percentage than running. Would surprise me,

120
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: because you're you're standing, yeah, your legs are planted um

121
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: and get hit from behind. You don't brace yourself, you don't,

122
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, And there's probably some truth to that, I'm

123
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: not sure how you exactly figure that out because what's

124
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: in the pocket? Yeah, and not to mention, I mean,

125
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: if you do it over the last ten years or whatever,

126
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot more throws than their quarterback runs. I mean,

127
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: is it just a percentage? But anyway, I mean it's

128
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: not like your help. You know that he's in a

129
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: great situation as a sitting duck in Denver crowd noise

130
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: with that pass rush barn down on him. It would

131
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: be interesting too to see how long that Minnesota Cleveland

132
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: game takes to play, because both teams want to run

133
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: the football exactly. That could be that could be a

134
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: two and a half hour game. Yeah. I just think

135
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: those two buildings are really hard to play into. They are,

136
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: without question. And you know the thing is, um they

137
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: haven't passed protected the Cleveland hasn't passed partecial well this year.

138
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: It's been a problem. It's been a flat out problem.

139
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: And their line is really good, but they are built

140
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: to run block and you're seeing that. And and if

141
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: they get behind and have to start throwing, Baker's gonna

142
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: get hit. Yeah, and Zimmer's gonna dial stuff up. And

143
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. I still don't think Baker handles

144
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: pressure great, you know, and they know that and they

145
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: make things easier on them from that regard. But you know,

146
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: Hunter is a great player, and their front is pretty good,

147
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: and Zimmer's gonna throw stuff at them, There's no doubt

148
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: about that. UH. Steeler's injury report team okay good. T J.

149
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: Watt back is a full participant. Alex Highsmith was limited

150
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: again today. Deante Johnson back as a full participant. UH

151
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger at full participant today. UM, but Chase Claypool

152
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: was added to the the injury report. He was limited

153
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: today with it. He's got a hamstring that he's dealing with.

154
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Was he full yesterday? It was full yesterday, So that's

155
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: tweak it a little bit more. Carlos Davis did not

156
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: practice chokes of core for still in concussion protocol, where

157
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: shod Kawer did not practice today. He was limited yesterday

158
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: with an ankle um. So you know, I guess Coward

159
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: was an act of this past week too. Yeah, he

160
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: hasn't been active all year, so that's that's that. That

161
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: really doesn't matter. Carlos Davis. I don't think he's one

162
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: of the ones threatening the guards for their job or anything.

163
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: He's a depth player, yeah, bottom the roster guy. So yeah,

164
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean you could be looking at I would assume

165
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster was limited today after not practicing yesterday.

166
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if I mentioned that. One he's dealing

167
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: with the ribs. I would expect him to be a

168
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: full go tomorrow. Yeah, I'd be shocked if he doesn't play. Um,

169
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, so you're back to maybe at least full

170
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: strength for the most part. On offense. We'll see what

171
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: happens with with chokes of core for but banners possibility

172
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's right to be activated yet, but at

173
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: least he's out there doing something practicing. Yeah, that does

174
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: mean he can place on they or not. But you

175
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: can't report on what he's doing in practice because he's

176
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: not actually you know, he's practicing. Um, you know, getting

177
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: on back would be a huge, massive get, I mean

178
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: absolutely massive. Getting Deonte Johnson back would be a huge get. Yeah,

179
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, I mean not to you look at Green

180
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: Bay their defense. They don't travel Alexander much, but they're

181
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: not gonna help him much either, you know what I mean.

182
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: I think you're a lot easier to play against if

183
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: Claypool's the clear number one receiver and Deontay isn't where

184
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure between I mean to meet Jujus third,

185
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: but he's still a high quality player that those three. Okay,

186
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: if you take one away, so be it, you know,

187
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean the other guys are still pretty high quality

188
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: options that can beat you. Um. You know Deonte we

189
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: know as the target hog, and that might go down

190
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: some we'll see, but having them there certainly helps. And

191
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: there's no question about I forgot to do this last week. Oh,

192
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: I know, look at their look at their roster. I

193
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: know we don't get to see them. It was the

194
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: Bengals last week. I think everybody for the most part

195
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: knows what the Bengals have. Yeah, this is the Packers,

196
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: the team you don't see a lot of um start

197
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position, obviously it's Davante Adams, then you

198
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: got albums hard. We'll see what happens with Marquez Valdez, Scantling,

199
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: It's Randall Cobb, Marii Rogers, Adams is the best. Yeah,

200
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: the group, but I just mentioned how you know, Deante, Claypool,

201
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: Juju are all good players. I mean the gap from

202
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: that threesome to Adams to me is just as big

203
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: as those three to the other Green Bay guys. You know,

204
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: like there's Adams, those three, everybody else. What would you

205
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: rather have? This is a hard one for me. Yeah,

206
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: a great wide receiver and nobody else or I think

207
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: I'll give the pack or is a nod? He's superb?

208
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, ITTs take Davante Adams out. He had

209
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: eighteen targets last week, and like everyone tries to you

210
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. You know, It's funny though, because

211
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers, when they were at full strength defensively, we're

212
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: able to limit Stefon Diggs. They were able to limit

213
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: limit Darren Waller, who had nineteen targets a week before that. Um,

214
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: can you limit Davante Adams in a similar fashion? Sure? Absolutely.

215
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: One thing I haven't mentioned month this week though, that

216
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: really stands out about Rogers is he will pepper a

217
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: guy and he'll throw it regardless when the guys coming

218
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: in without question and the back shoulder stuff that he's

219
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: made famous. But he also kills other one on one matchups.

220
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: If you're gonna leave Lazard one on one ball is

221
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: gonna go there, You know, I mean like he and

222
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: he throws them open. So yeah, you can maybe dedicate

223
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: a lot to take in away Adams, but he makes

224
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: those other guys that are just average players pretty useful.

225
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: I would rather though, have the stop the devil I

226
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: know is worrying about one of these other guys might

227
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: beat me because they can still drop the ball. That could.

228
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of stuff they can happen. I wouldn't

229
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: want him. You don't want him having, you know, twelve

230
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: catches for a hundred and eighty yards and three touchdowns.

231
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: And it's absolutely not because I was probly no answer

232
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: right on the offensive line. I don't think Elton Jenkins

233
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: plays this week. It's gonna be Dennis Kelly at left tackle,

234
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: total journeyman with John Runyon. We'll see what happens with

235
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: Josh Myers. He's a little banged up. He's got as

236
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a thumb. He'll probably play. Then you're

237
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: looking at Royce Newman and Billy Turner. Yeah, that's the

238
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: right side of the backyard is a star. He's out. Jenkins,

239
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: who you mentioned, I really can play all five spots,

240
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: but he's out. He's out. He's a high end starter.

241
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: I forget the dude they had playing left tackle last week.

242
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: I had never heard of him. He was a total project.

243
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: Um that was that Yoshi. Yes, I think so maybe

244
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: he starts there this week. I don't know. I'm not certain,

245
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: but they help him a lot. I'm still going to

246
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: give them the nod. I mean the segment ago we

247
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: were talking about how Merrill was saying the Steelers in

248
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: the league. I honestly think if you swap them out

249
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: that both teams would be pretty much where they're at

250
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: right now. Though. Yeah, I mean it's not a good group. No,

251
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 1: it's not. I mean you take you take back the

252
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Ari and Jenkins out of that group, that's the two

253
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: best guys. That's the two best guys. And you know

254
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: Myers is kind of in the Kendrick Greenwold where he's

255
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: a day too pick that's got thrust into starting. Uh,

256
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: they'll play a lot of two tight end sets. That

257
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: will be Mercedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan Mercedes. Mercedes Lewis

258
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: is now an antique Mercedes. Yeah, he's a slow cruising

259
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: luxury vehicle. There's no acceleration he's but he's a blocker.

260
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's the reason he's in the game more.

261
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: They play more twelve this year than they used to

262
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: because the line needs it. But Tanyan's roles dropped from

263
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: last year two, which was kind of predictable. I mean,

264
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: he's sort of kaking from nowhere, but he's having a

265
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: block a little bit too. I'm taking the Steelers tight

266
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: ends over those guys. But he's a guy that can

267
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: hurt you. Yeah. Yeah, they haven't featured him yet, that

268
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they won't. He's dangerous. He can run and

269
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Then you're looking at quarterbacks obviously,

270
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: that's Rogers. It's Rogers, Uh, Aaron Jones, a J Dillon

271
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: kiln Hill at the running back position. I'm taking the Packers. Yeah,

272
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean they'll both. Hill's actually kind of factors in't

273
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: here and there. Dylan is a good player, and I

274
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: think m and Jones is better than Harris right now.

275
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: He's one of the best guys. Yeah, he's probably the

276
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: top five. His receiving skills we've talked about an offer

277
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: really impressive. Yeah, you know, people were down on Devon Bush.

278
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: He's Devon's gonna be a big factor with Aaron Jones,

279
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: big time. That's a good point. Uh. Under defensive front,

280
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: you're looking at, uh, they play a three or four

281
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: like the Steelers. It's Stean Lowry, Kenny Clarkett on the nose.

282
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: He's not a true he's not, but he's hard to

283
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: move and it's a modern day knows he's a really

284
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: good player. And then Kingsley Kiki, Yeah, I think he's

285
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, there are three four, but the three

286
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: defensive linemen aren't out there all that much. But I

287
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: think he's the one that comes off um something bunch

288
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: of even without a Loua Lewin. Right, Yeah, Kenny clark

289
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: could be very useful on any team. He's a really

290
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: good player. He's not as good as Cam No, you know.

291
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: And then the others are the other guys are right

292
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: right an outside linebacker. You're looking at Preston Smith and

293
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: Rashawn Gary with Darius Smith out right now right, that's

294
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: a pretty good trio two. I mean the rivals. I

295
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: guess what Ingram high Smith, but Darius is out Um.

296
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: I think Wat's better than any of the other five. Clearly,

297
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: it's almost a Davante Adams conversation, like he's that right

298
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: and there guys, Yeah, I mean, especially it was Darius out.

299
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: He might be too, Ingram might be too. I don't know. Yeah,

300
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: Darius is probably too if he's healthy. Probably not. Maybe

301
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: he's on yeah, yeah, I mean he's a star that's missing. Um.

302
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: Last note, Preston Smith is probably more of a household

303
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: name if you were living in l A or Seattle

304
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: than high Smith. But I think i'd rather high Smith.

305
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: I'd have high Smith too. He's a lot twitch er. Yeah,

306
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: Preston Smith is. He's, without a doubt, Robbin Yeah, and

307
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: d Robin and you'll see him come off the ball.

308
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: He's kind of a slower lopen big paying him a

309
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: ton of Like. They went out two years ago in

310
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: free agency and got both of those guys is Darius

311
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: Smith and Preston Smith, and it was well, this has

312
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: made such a big difference in their in their past.

313
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: Rush Okay Saidarius Smith was worth the money. Yeah, Preston

314
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: Smith was not. No. And then a year later they

315
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: drafted Gary in the first round two with like the

316
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: eleventh pick. It was very talented and he flashes. Gary

317
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: could be a problem in this game too, I mean

318
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: it certainly could. He gets Steelers lined. Yeah. Uh, inside

319
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: linebacker it's Chris Barnes and Devondre Campbell. Campbell's been kind

320
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: of taken over as the every down guy again, non

321
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: household names and not household names there as much as

322
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: any team in the league, they ignore the second level. Yeah,

323
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: they draft defensive lineman like crazy or they well, I

324
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: think they're thinking is as much like the Chiefs is like, Okay,

325
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: we're just gonna score a bunch and you're not gonna

326
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: able to run the football against us anyways, right, And

327
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: they've had they've been searching for a corner forever. They

328
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: keep using picks there. Their safeties will get to her good,

329
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: so their linebackers. I assume it's just a philosophical thing.

330
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: They don't spend money or draft picks on so anybody

331
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 1: can go make tackles, yeah, right right, you know, and

332
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: you expect to play with the lead. So Campbell's been

333
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: better as a packer than he was any step of

334
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: the way. But he was a bigger body, good combine guy.

335
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: He's there every down dude, But I don't think the

336
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: Steelers pair over that group for sure. At cornerback, j

337
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 1: you're Alexander's the start. But then as Kevin King, you've

338
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: got Eric Stokes who plays yeah a lot um, he

339
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: got Shandon Sullivan, Shama Jean Charles and Isaac Yatum Sullivan

340
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: seat snaps. They're they're looking for a too. They really

341
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: want to replace King, who's another pretty high that's a

342
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: big That's gonna be one where the Steelers have a

343
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: big advantage of Alexander. Whoever's got King on them is open,

344
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: which again is a big part of having getting Dante

345
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: back to you. I mean, if the Steelers Steelers receivers

346
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: are all sort of on the same tier, Like here's

347
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: a weird way of looking at it. If I were

348
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: the Packers, I'd rather play against the Packers receivers and

349
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: the Steelers receivers because I'd put Alexander on Adams and

350
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: see how we do, you know. But if from the

351
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: pack here's I would rather. I don't love having three

352
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: quality dudes, you know what I mean. Tight ends have

353
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: also killed the Packers this year as well. They got

354
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: twenty one catches against him in three games and three touchdowns. Yeah,

355
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: and that's usually Amos. I mean, Amos did a lot

356
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: definitely last weekend. Amos was on Kiddle last week A

357
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: lot does everything. That's a tough call with what safety

358
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: parents Savage and Amos is good. There's the I mean,

359
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: that's one of the top, it's one of the best

360
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: parents in The interesting thing about that is that this

361
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: defense we did draft, we didn't pick what we didn't Yeah,

362
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: you're right, Ums, I'm gonna go to Packers. I think

363
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: it's a lot. That's a tough one. I try to

364
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: want to do avoid. I mean, Alexander's the obvious number one, right,

365
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: but then the next three guys might be Steelers at

366
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: least at least two. Anyway, Yeah, I'm gonna put a

367
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: little bit of credence into There is a rookie first

368
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: round pick there, but he's really struggling, and frankly, I

369
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: didn't think he should be a first round pick. Right. Yeah. Yeah,

370
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: in general, but tough one. Thee safeties are equally difficult.

371
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: The thing that I'm noticing here about this, if you

372
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: look at the Bills are the Packers defense, It's kind

373
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: of the same way the Bills defense was without the

374
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: athletic inside linebackers, right nose every down, really good player, right, So,

375
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the Steelers found ways to attack

376
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: the Bills in that game. Um, okay, They didn't necessarily

377
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: throw it down the field a lot, but they were

378
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: able to take the underneath stuff. There's strong parts and

379
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: wheat parts to the defense. There are places where you

380
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: can attack. There are there are um I do like

381
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: the safety pairing a lot. I think you and I

382
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: have talked about Savage a ton. Then we often speculate

383
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: if they wouldn't have traded up for Bush, Savage probably

384
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: would have been a Steeler at twenty that year. Then

385
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: he's lived up to that and more. He's a really

386
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: dynamic tyrone mathau but also deep middle guy. I would

387
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: think you see a lot of single high with amos

388
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: rome either on Friar Muth or Ebron or near the

389
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Edmonds is a good player, though, I

390
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: mean like I think he's fourth. I think I'm gonna

391
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: take the Packers really close, though it's there's not many

392
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: safety tandems. I would say that about over the Steelers,

393
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,239
Speaker 1: So we're not We're not giving the Steelers a lot

394
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: of edges here. Usually the defense is owned us year well,

395
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: the edge guys won the line. The edge. The edge

396
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: and defensive line might be the two biggest winds anywhere.

397
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: Quarterback well quick. Yeah, but I agree, um something you know,

398
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver was a conversation, Corner was a conversation, Safety

399
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: was a conversation. I sided with the Packers on all three,

400
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: maybe because they won last week. And you know, if

401
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: you had asked you a week two weeks ago, maybe

402
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: I'd have been different because they were all really close

403
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: choices too. And the years are definitely better than the

404
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: second level of line back. And the interesting thing about

405
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: this defense is it's not been as good as the sum,

406
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: is not as good as the parts, and it's been

407
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: like that for five years. Yeah. I mean there's a

408
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: lot of individual stars and scrubs and a lot of inconsistencies.

409
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: They do have a new coordinator and Barry. Um, I

410
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: haven't studied it enough. This is the thing they have

411
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: that they have the star power that they do, but

412
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: they also have the obvious warts, and you can you

413
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: can pick at those pre easily, like second corner linebackers.

414
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: Those are areas where you can exploit them and have

415
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: a big matchup. Um. You know, even their interior pass

416
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: rush isn't great. I think you'd rather have, you know,

417
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: if you're if you're building an NFL team, you'd rather

418
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: have a bunch of guys who are all pretty similar

419
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: in skill sets. Maybe not stars, but there's no obvious Hey,

420
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna go after this guy right as opposed to

421
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: second this Packers defense. You look at this and go, okay,

422
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: we can exploit the middle, we can exploit those those

423
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: inside linebackers. You can exploit that second or even third cornerback. Um,

424
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: you don't even have to throw at Jaire Alexander. You

425
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: mentioned how Bush is going to be pivotal against Jones.

426
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: I think they're linebackers are a big disadvantage against Harris. Yeah,

427
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: you know, I would. You know, we we always tell

428
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: you last week, I gotta throw to Harris more, and

429
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: then this week they threw them too much. I mean,

430
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: but that match up him running routes against their linebackers

431
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: is a good one for the Steelers. Yeah, yeah, I agree.

432
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be this dump offs and everyone

433
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: the world knows he's getting them. But him running routes

434
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: against that linebacker, I think, you know, with Johnson back

435
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: and Juju back, I think you see less of the

436
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: dump offs and more him running actual patterns. Like there

437
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: was there was a play last week and I could

438
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: see it coming where they had him on the on

439
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's right, and I believe all three receivers were bunched

440
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: on the left and then it's a snap. Those receivers

441
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,239
Speaker 1: kind of cleared out that side and he ran him

442
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: across the formation. It's an easy, easy, but he gets. Yeah,

443
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: he gets eighteen yards on that. You know, it's like,

444
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: you know that could see that coming, but how do

445
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: you stop it? Acrossing linebackers faces, and you know he

446
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: can out muscle those guys. They're still stuck behind the

447
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, shifting through the garbage, and he gets

448
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: he gets the flat and there's nobody there. Yeah, that's

449
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: a great one not to mention too, like their linebackers

450
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: at inconsistent with tackling and their gap filling. Like if

451
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: Harris gets past the first level, the blocking is good

452
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: enough to don't run thirty yard ors, but when he

453
