1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: on your home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson.

4
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: It is a Wednesday, but it is a bye week

5
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Wednesday for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They had their final practice

6
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: of the bye week today. They'll be off now until Monday. Um,

7
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: lots of guys heading off to Parts unknown. Yeah, get

8
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: away and l fans might look at that and go,

9
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: how can they take off when they're you know, yeah,

10
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: they're two and six. You're only allowed to have so

11
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: many practices. You can't be there every key. Every team

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: on a bye has to go away for four days, right, right,

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: I gotta give gotta give the players four days off.

14
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. Um. And in folks,

15
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: I know your their job isn't like yours or mine

16
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: or anybody else's. But if your boss said, hey, you

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: got a week off for four days off, and you

18
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: decided to go somewhere for the weekend, is anyone gonna

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: fault you? Right? It's a grind. I mean they've been

20
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: added hard for months now, you know. Yeah, the results

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: have not been there obviously, um you know, and it's

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: the results driven business. I still can't get past the

23
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: point like if the Steelers were two and six right now,

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: but if they were two and six right now but

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: hadn't played the Bills and the Eagles and lost the

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: way that they lost news games. But people have a

27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: different feeling about the two and six see I think

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: that too. I mean again, this feels like you're making

29
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: excuses for the results. We know the results aren't good.

30
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: They're two and six. That's bad. We know that. But

31
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: I do think the perception of the team. If they've

32
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: only played six games and and they're on thereby and

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: the Bills and Eagles won ever existed, it's still be

34
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: a hard schedule. It would be a really hard schedule.

35
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: I actually just wrote an article about that, and this

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: was the craziest thing about the article is they've played

37
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: eight games, and of the bottom four teen teams in

38
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: d V O A, they haven't got any of them.

39
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: Only they had the stud teams and the really good teams,

40
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: but they've had no one in the bottom half of

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: the league. You know that they've played again, So I

42
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: do think and it's just if you didn't think about

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: those two games, you would say, this team's competitive, they're

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: doing all right, or if they would have got one

45
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: more win, you know, sneak out the Jets game or

46
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots game or something like that. Come back and

47
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, I still remember sitting in the press box

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: in Miami. It's sixteen to ten. The Steelers are driving

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: twice late in the game. They get the ball back

50
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: with about seven and a half minutes left, drive the

51
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: lengthen field. They get an interception on on after the

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: I mean they had third and one, they ran it.

53
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: They had successfully run a sneak to come vert the

54
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: third and one and they had the the It was

55
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: a legal formation, it was. It was a motion penalty

56
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: for chukes of core for rocking slightly backwards while the

57
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: while the the motion guy was there. That was a

58
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Kenny pick Att mistake exactly. He started the motion guy

59
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: before his offensive lineman had gotten set. That was what

60
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: he was. The pusher, right, Yeah, I don't like the

61
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: pusher rule. I think that's something people should totally different

62
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: offs off your topic. But everybody's pushing now by the way,

63
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: you know. But so people gave Canada, of course a

64
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: hard time for why would you have a pusher. Everyone

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: everybody has a push, and you're just a fraction of

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: And he knows better than that, right, you know, this

67
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: is not his first rodeo in terms of starting a

68
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: motion man, right, right, that's not a pro thing, right, Yeah,

69
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing with that. Um So they

70
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: had converted that. If they score a touchdown there, I

71
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: think they win that game. I'm trying to think. Then

72
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: they got the ball back and and you had the

73
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: you know, the dry turn. Yeah, eventually turned to the

74
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: third and twenty and and they three he threw the interception,

75
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: and can you pick it at three interceptions? Well, he's

76
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: trying to make a play there. And the same thing

77
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: with with the final play. You're, you know, fifteen seconds

78
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: left and he throws an interception in the end zone.

79
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: Couldn't have been a touchdown? Yes, Is he trying to

80
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: throw that ball away or whatever? Okay, the fact of

81
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: the matters, they're throwing into the end zone down a

82
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: touchdown in the closing moments of the game. Win that one,

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: you know. And in the entire time, I'm sitting here

84
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: because I write the game story for Steelers dot Com

85
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: for these things, and I'm writing to pull a curtain back.

86
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm writing a running game story, and what that means is,

87
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm writing as soon as the game is over. I

88
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: put a story up that has no quotes and here's

89
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: what happened. Then I go down to the locker room,

90
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: but it's kind of ash yeah. Um, And then I

91
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: go down. I put some quotes in there that you

92
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: know about certain plays in the game, or what have

93
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: your things that went wrong or right, whatever it may be,

94
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: so people can click on your story. Almost as soon

95
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: as basically within within five minutes of the game ending,

96
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: there's a story up saying the Steelers one are lost.

97
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm waiting there because again, I gotta file this thing immediately. Um.

98
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: You know, I'm like, they're gonna win this game. Yeah,

99
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: I can't put it. I can't put a lead on

100
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: this thing yet because they may win. Yeah, and because

101
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: they were moving the football pretty consistently against the Dolphins.

102
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: They were and they're playing good defense and a very

103
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: winnable game. I have been several like exactly, and one

104
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: of them. I know it's not gonna make that big

105
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: a difference. People are like, well, now they're getting a

106
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: better draft pick, or they weren't gonna playoffs anyways. Williams said,

107
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: I get that when two of those year four and four, right,

108
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, and in four and four you're right in

109
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: it in the I don't care what happens, what else

110
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: is happening, or how you got there. If you're four

111
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: and four at this point, you're in it. But even

112
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: three and five, the season is not shot. It's just

113
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: a different field than than the obviously two and six,

114
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: And again those two blowouts are a slap in the

115
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: face that boy, you're a long way from these teams.

116
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: But as we lay it out yesterday, so is everybody.

117
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: So is everybody. It's the same thing with the with

118
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: the you know, the two losses late last year to

119
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City, they're almost identical. You know, you're not a team. Unfortunately,

120
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: you're not at the level of those three teams who

121
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: just happened to be the three best teams in the league.

122
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: And fortunately for most of our listeners, you remember many

123
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: times when the Steelers were one of those, right, But

124
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: I also have been around long enough to remember, you know,

125
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: the in the nineties when the NFC was considered the

126
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: dominant that, you know, the dominant conference. You know, and

127
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers opening the season with Dallas, opening the season

128
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: with San Francisco and essentially getting beaten pretty handily in

129
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: both of those games. And people, well, they're still the

130
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: best team in the a f C. But they lost

131
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: to those two, you know, those those two teams that

132
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: were the class of the of the of the league. Remember,

133
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: you know when when the Steelers were upset mightily by

134
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: the Chargers in the championship game. Like I was a

135
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: fan back then, you know, I forgot how what I

136
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: was a teenager or whatever, and I was, you know,

137
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: upset about it, But deep down I remember thinking, this

138
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: is a slaughter to the lambs. Whoever is going to

139
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: play Steve Steve Young next week? You know, I mean,

140
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: like it was I see, I thought that that team,

141
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: um could have competed because the defense, because of the

142
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: defense and the offense was you know, it was okay

143
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: that year. Then the next year, you know, they played

144
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in the Super Bowl. They lost by ten points,

145
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: but that game I thought that they were the better

146
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: team for the final three quarters. That it's funny you

147
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: said that, because I remember I've said this many times

148
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: and that you and I've had this conversation that the

149
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: game was ten nothing after the first quarter. They lost

150
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: by ten And I thought, after the first quarter without

151
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: the Jitters and all that Dallas had just been Dallas

152
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: had been there, they had all those guys that were

153
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: battle and just blame Neal. But teams are playing really

154
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: well from most of that game. But the Chargers scenario,

155
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: to me, I never had Super Bowl aspirations, you know,

156
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: like the Eagles, the Bills, the Chiefs right now, to

157
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: me are really the only teams that should be like,

158
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: we got a real shot at this thing. And you

159
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: saw that at the at the trade deadline, a little

160
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: bit of it. Um, you know, it was some of

161
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: the tweaks that they made, um, you know, not you know,

162
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: not like Miami, Miami's I almost mentioned Miami just now

163
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: because I think Miami might think they're better than they think. Yeah,

164
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: they think they're in that class because they beat the

165
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: Bills in that flukey game in Miami. I'll tell you

166
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: right now now that first round pick when Miami plays Buffalo,

167
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: I don't even know what it is. When Miami plays

168
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo in Buffalo regular season, Yeah, I don't know what

169
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: the what the line will be in that game. I'm

170
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: taking Buffalo if it was this week, it's at least seven, right, Yeah,

171
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's I told you those it was those

172
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: stats from me yesterday. I think Buffalo is winning its

173
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: home games by an average score of thirty four to nine.

174
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: That's what about say too, It's like, so, what teams

175
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: besides the Chiefs and Eagles go to Buffalo? And I said,

176
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: you can have the away team plus ten or the

177
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: Bills plus ten plus ten. I think I'll take the

178
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: Bills every time. Yeah, I mean even Dallas, Cincinnati, Baltimore,

179
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Yeah, all those teams that I listed I

180
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: think are fighting for number four right now. And I

181
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: mean Buffalo had a quote unquote disappointing game on Sunday

182
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: against against Green Bay and one by ten ten Alan

183
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: threw some picks, they weren't dominant, they ran the ball

184
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 1: a little more. Yeah, And I think with you that

185
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: said or somebody said, it felt like green Bay had

186
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: the Packers plus the points, like they were just happy

187
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: running the ball, staying close, like they didn't have a

188
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: whole lot of hopes of you know, storm, They're down

189
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: three scores in the fourth quarter and the star running

190
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: the football. They got Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, they don't want

191
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: to get Aaron Rodgers killed to go right right. I

192
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: mean they do it as a heartlet or a hopeless

193
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: situation too. So again we're not excusing bad losses. But

194
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: those three teams are great. I'm not be sure the

195
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs are at the same level as those others. I

196
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: don't know if they. Mike pursued and that we're talking

197
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: at practice today and we're having a similar discussion to this,

198
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: and you know, he asked me, what, who know, who

199
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: do you think is better right now that the Chiefs

200
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: are the Bills. Well, the Bills just played in Kansas

201
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: City a couple of weeks ago and they beat the

202
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs reasonably handed, you know. And he said, well,

203
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: you know what I think, because the odds on winning

204
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl right now are like Buffalo is like

205
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: two to one, in Kansas City's like six to one.

206
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: He said, well, the odds, the odds say that you

207
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: should bet on Kansas City when yeah, but they're gonna

208
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: have to go to Buffalo to do it. Very the

209
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: odds only matter if you think they could that they

210
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: can do that, and I don't think that they can

211
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: do it. I mean I think they they're the only

212
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: team that could go in there in the f C

213
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: and win in the playoffs. But it's on it. I mean,

214
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: what are they? Yeah, I was gonna say a touchdown dog,

215
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: underdog six and a half something like that. Yeah, I mean,

216
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a one point game. No, I

217
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: mean the Bills were favored in casey right doesn't happen.

218
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, so if you're gonna look at Vegas odds

219
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,239
Speaker 1: and things, you know, to pursue his point, Well, they

220
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: think the Bills are clearly, I said. And the other

221
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: team that I would bet on, you know, and I

222
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: don't even know what the odds are will be the Eagles,

223
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: because I think the Eagles are gonna be there in

224
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: the you know, so getting to the super Bowl first

225
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: is the key. So who do you think is gonna

226
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: get there? Well, I think it's gonna be Buffalo and

227
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: Philadelphia unless something drastically changes, and the Steelers have played

228
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: both of those teams. Yeah, exactly. I mean I urged

229
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: people to check out that article I wrote, and I

230
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: stole the idea from you. It's just when you're it's

231
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: very numbers driven, brutal stretch I mean just there's no

232
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: nothing easy about any game they had. I mean little

233
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: things like of the top ten receiving the receivers out

234
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: there in yards per game, it's your face, like eight

235
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, you know, like Mike Evans was one

236
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: of the easier receivers. They battled, I mean, and they

237
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: did a nice job on him. You know, they bottle

238
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: those guys up and Godwin and you know right, I mean,

239
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: it's it's it's really really they've been the in the

240
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: in the last three weeks or last four weeks. They

241
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett starts, Yeah, if you look at the games

242
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: that he's three games on the road, brutal environments. Yeah,

243
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about playing um Buffalo in your

244
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: first career start in Buffalo in Buffalo. Then you get

245
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay at home by Brady won that game. Then

246
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: you go to Miami as they're celebrating the fiftieth year

247
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: of undefeated season on Sunday Night football. I mean, they're in,

248
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: They're in the conversation to be that number four teams.

249
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: Oh I think so too, Yeah, I do. I think

250
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: they think they're better than they are, but they might

251
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: be there in that conversa they're certainly in the top eight.

252
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, and then you play Philadelphia in their place,

253
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: three road games that your team hasn't won since the

254
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: dawn of time anyway, No quarterback Terry Bradshaw hasn't won there.

255
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger hasn't won there, Like it doesn't matter who

256
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback gets. And they're a wide variety of defenses.

257
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: You know, they do a lot of there. You know,

258
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: just schematically, there are four of the more difficult ones

259
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: to play against. You know, Tampa and Miami are heavy,

260
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: heavy blitz Buffalo never blitzes, they don't have to, they

261
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: still get after you. And the Eagles front is unbelievably physical,

262
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, so brutal groups. Um, the defenses that the

263
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Steelers have faced actually harder than the offer both at

264
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: the top of the league, without a doubt. And I

265
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: bring this up case. So they've they've lost. They lost

266
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: the three they won the one home game against Tampa Bank,

267
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,479
Speaker 1: they lost the three road games. They had an opportunity

268
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: to beat Miami. Well, now in the final nine games,

269
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: five of those are at home, and so Kenny Picktt

270
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: might have had you know, there's no way to look

271
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: back at this or anything like that. But I can't

272
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: think of four tougher games for a rookie quarterback to

273
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: make his his first four starts against. Then what they

274
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: just did. The easiest game, the easiest game, but they

275
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: have the Tom Brady. They come after you and right

276
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: and that with them, and they were big dogs in

277
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: that game, so Vegas Lott. It was a major accompliment,

278
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: you know. So no, again, those four it's about as

279
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: tough as you can get and they are a wide

280
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: variety of different challenges to and I think Pick it's

281
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: mentally strong enough to really learn from this well that

282
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: that was gonna gether it. I mean, like the reflection

283
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: time now, And boy I was a little slow on

284
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: I read there. I'm gonna have to be quicker on

285
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: that stuff, for I hadn't seen that flitz before. Now

286
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: I know what to do with it, you know, etcetera, etcetera.

287
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: You know. That's that's kind of the juxe of the

288
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: story that I wrote on Steelers dot Com today, Like

289
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: talking to Mike Sullivan talking to to Matt Canada about

290
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: Picket and they're like, hey, we feel pretty good about

291
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: this whole thing. He made it through that stretch. They

292
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: understand what a difficulture. Yeah, he made it through that stretch.

293
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: And he's not questioning himself. You know, he's not. He's

294
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: not you know, seeing ghosts. We've heard that from you know.

295
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna see ghosts playing Buffalo and

296
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and their buildings, yeah, we'll make you see ghosts.

297
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean even little things. He's not wopping his eyes,

298
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: he's you know, jittery in the pocket, those type of things,

299
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: you know. Or I mean, we've seen so many young

300
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: first round quarterbacks that are on less than ideal situations

301
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: get ruined. And I and I get the people, look

302
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: at what he's two touchdowns and need interceptions. I understand.

303
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: I understand that. I understand that completely. But watching the games,

304
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: it looks like an NFL quarter you don't get the

305
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: idea that, well, this is a quarterback with two touchdowns

306
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: and needed interceptions. I mean, I think he'll be the

307
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: first to tell you I need to get better in

308
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: the red zone. I've made a few, not everyone bad

309
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: decisions where I tried to force football and some of

310
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: them were in well we've got to have it now,

311
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: or you know, I mean, some of them are situational,

312
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: not all interceptions are created equal folks, you know, and

313
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: some of his are more acceptable than others. Yeah. I

314
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: mean I'm looking at that one last week against against

315
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and I'm like, alright, he through an interception late

316
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: in that game, trying to make a play get blown out.

317
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: You could have just ran it out and walked out

318
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: of there, and we've seen teams do that. You know, Well,

319
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: we just don't want to get our young quarterback killed.

320
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: No there. I thought what Sullivan said about it was

321
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: was very interesting. He said, this has been a trial

322
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: by fire. It's been a trial by fire. But we're

323
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: looking at this is it's kind of what we talked

324
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: about earlier in the week. Um, you know, every rep

325
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: that he gets is an important one, and you know,

326
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: the more that he gets, the more he gets through

327
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: this stuff now, the better off he'll be in the

328
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: long term. It's like boot camp. Yeah, let me put

329
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: it this way. So he and miss Drabinsky have essentially

330
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: played the same number of quarters thus far, about the

331
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: same snaps. Yeah, because remember trubisically replaced him in the

332
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: second half against Tampa, So it's about the same. He's

333
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: picking his strowing forty more passes than trabiscite. We think

334
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: a lot of like because I was thinking about that

335
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: on the way here. I'm like, it's sure things. I

336
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: wonder what their run past percentages for each quarterback. I

337
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: promise it's higher for Picket, but I don't know by how.

338
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: It's forty passes, you know, so they're not about the

339
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: same number of snap they're not using. They're not handling

340
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: him with kid gloves. No, No, he's throwing it a lot,

341
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: maybe too much, if anything. But but I think there's

342
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: something to the fact that they want him to throw

343
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: and and see as much as he can um early.

344
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: I mean they threw him in the deep end. Yeah,

345
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: and he's swimming because they feel like a he can

346
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: handle it and be that he'll be better off in

347
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: the long run for Yeah. I mean, I'm not making

348
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: fun of Trail Lance or whoever, but maybe some of

349
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: those guys couldn't handle it, and you have to bring

350
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: them along differently. Wells through eleven passes on Sunday. You know,

351
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariotta his thrown you know, yeah, he's I'll bet

352
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: he's not. I'll bet he I'm bout Marcus Mariota, who

353
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: started every game for Atlanta this year is probably right

354
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: around the same number of passes as pick it probably true,

355
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: probably true. And even like Fields is a good example,

356
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, like he was really struggling earlier in the year,

357
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: and they didn't have him do anything, you know, I mean,

358
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: here's running, you know, don't put him in harm's way.

359
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: And now they're putting more and more on his plate

360
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: where they put a lot on pickets plate right from

361
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: the start. In fact, I can, I can, like I've

362
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: got those stats right here in front of me. Here

363
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: we go. So Mariota is starting a hundred seventy eight passes,

364
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: Piket to start a hundred sixty five w I mean,

365
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: and they both played eight games? Yeah, or Mario has

366
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: played all eight game. Mariota's played all eight Um in

367
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: another buy or anything like that. But he's got about

368
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: the fields just starting a hundred fifty nine passes? Have

369
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: they been off? He's played every game? He's played every game? Um,

370
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,239
Speaker 1: how many does does Kenny have? Hundred? Bryan tanney Hill

371
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: has missed one game? He's starting a hundred. Wow, that

372
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: guy's been around for twelve years. Yeah, Like they're not

373
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: they're not holding them back at all. Uh, you know,

374
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: so I think it's with a plan. Who too. I mean,

375
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: if they were running the ball more successfully those numbers,

376
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: that that would help help everybody involved, including the defense

377
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: and all the above. I mean, to me, they running

378
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: games unacceptable now, and I think fixing that should be,

379
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, job one. But I think part of that

380
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: is also to go back to our original conversation, who

381
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: you've played, who you played? You know, I mean, you

382
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: go into a game against Buffalo knowing that, hey, I

383
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: have a heck of a time shutting these guys down.

384
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: We can't just go out there and try to run

385
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: the football forty times in this game. And some of

386
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: those games, of course you're playing from behind or you know,

387
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: last couple of drives are all throws. You know. Still,

388
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: I they have not shied away unlike a lot of

389
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: teams with run young first round type quarterbacks. They have

390
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: not shied away from You're gonna throw it, You're gonna

391
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: learn on the run, and you're you're gonna make mistakes.

392
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: You know that That's part of it. But um, I

393
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: think I'm not worried about picking. I mean, there's things

394
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: he needs to improve on. He's there's some open receivers

395
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: he hasn't let the ball fly. His red zone stuff

396
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: is a little worrisome, but I think he's a starting quarterback. Yeah,

397
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: there's a lot of them out there that have been

398
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: draft last couple of years. I don't know that about yet. Yeah.

399
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: I was asked about that earlier this week. I did

400
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: it a radio hit and somebody, you know, pickets seats

401
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: struggling this blah blah blah that I'm like, look, and

402
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: they brought up, well, he was the only quarterback taken

403
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: in the first round this year. He wouldn't have been

404
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: a first round quarterback last year. I'm like, yes, he

405
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: would have. Oh yeah, he'd have been a first He'd

406
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: be fighting Mac Jones for that spot. And that's exactly

407
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: who I brought up. You know, Mac Jones. Why do

408
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: you just what Mac Jones? I'm like, I'm just talking

409
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: about what they were as prospects. Like, I'm not talking

410
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: about a trade picket for Jones. I wouldn't, to be

411
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: honest with you, Jones regressed this year. But I think

412
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: they were similar graded prospects coming out of school. And

413
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: I obviously, you know, Trevor Lawrence is Trevor Lawrence. Um,

414
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, I liked Fields. I liked Fields almost as

415
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: much as Lawrence, and he's starting to turn the corner.

416
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: I wasn't a huge Lands guy, but you see the

417
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: appeal though, Yeah, I see the appeal. Um would pick

418
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: it have gone ahead of Lance? I mean, do you

419
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: do be an the eye that beholder in that? I

420
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: don't know that Lance would have been for everybody. I've

421
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: also been told that the mac Jones the Niners stuff

422
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: was very real and they had to commence Shanahan to

423
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: Doe Lance instead of Jones. So how far would have

424
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: Lance fallen? I mean, if if we're sitting here next

425
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: year at this time, Um, Kenny Pickett next year at

426
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: this time will be a better quarterback than Trey Lance.

427
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: I would imagine he already is better than Zach Wilson's.

428
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: He's he's already put more on tape than Trey Lance. Yeah, yeah,

429
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean they the Niners still don't know what Tray

430
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: Lance is. No, they don't, you know. And then and

431
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. You know that these teams are still trying

432
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: to figure out if not gonna be not gonna make it.

433
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't think the other guys might. But Lance is

434
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: a tough conversation because maybe his first eight games or wow,

435
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: he's really good, but you have no clue. I mean,

436
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: I don't know that they thought that though after watching

437
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: him in the preseason, because they didn't trade Jimmy g Yeah.

438
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's a limited sample sign but he has

439
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: not looked at the hundred sixty eight passes that Kenny

440
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 1: Pickett has thrown this season in four games are as

441
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: many as he threw in the last five years. Exactly. Yeah,

442
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: he's at the very toughy and they're and they are

443
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: married to him. But I think the Steelers are pretty

444
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: happy about being, even at this point at two and six,

445
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: married to Kenny Pickett. Yeah, I mean especially too. I mean,

446
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: I know, have so much time for what they're gonna

447
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: do in the off season in future, but they're gonna

448
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: put a lot around him on both sides of the ball.

449
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, team's gonna look better next year. Well, let's

450
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,440
