1
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly, he is the

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and there could be no other. And uh,

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: well it's a Friday here in Pittsburgh and the Steelers

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: leave tomorrow morning to head to Seattle for what is

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: essentially a playoff game.

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 3: Close. Yeah, it's important to Seattle, dire importance to the Steelers.

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: It's still quite as important to Seattle as it is

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: to Pittsburgh. They could still basically what they need to

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: do is win one of their last two, correct, Yeah,

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: just given their state of the NFC, Yeah, it's.

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 3: Just a little less competitive, fewer teams really fighting for

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 3: the same spots. And yeah, they're not in a terrible situation, but.

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: The Steelers they need to win this one. They need

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: to win the next one after that against Baltimore, and

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: even then they're not guaranteed anything. There's still need some help.

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: And so you know, you look at this. We now

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: seen another we saw another team clinch last night with

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns getting in and so there's one fewer

22
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: spots there's basically two wild card spots now still up

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: for grabs in the in the AFC.

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 3: Not surprising that Browns got in, but I mean they

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: had a leg up on the others. But still there's

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: only two officially for but like six teams.

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: It's what it comes down to, is you know, when

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: you start looking at the breakdown here, technically the Raiders

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: are still alive. They can be eliminated this weekend.

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but their path I was actually listening on the

31
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: way here, isn't as crazy as you think. Oh no,

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, they're gonna beat the Colts and they're

33
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: gonna beat Denver without Russell Wilson, and that would.

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: Get them to nine and eight. They would need more help.

35
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: They need a little bit more help. But it's not

36
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 3: as insane as you think for them. I just assume

37
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: they were no shot.

38
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: Really, Denver's in the same book because those teams are

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: not yet eliminated. The Jets were eliminated.

40
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: Good for good.

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: I think they were eliminated before that. But uh so,

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: if you look at it, there's still twelve teams remaining

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: in the AFC for seven spots.

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 3: For seven spots. Okay, so some are already in Of

45
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: those twelve, right, they're four officially eliminated.

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: Right, there's only actually three have only clinched, three have clinched.

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: In the South and Chief four teams have been eliminated. Yeah,

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: Baltimore has clinched a playoff spot, Miami has clinched the playoffs,

49
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: but both Cleveland has clinched the playoff spot. Those are

50
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: the eleven win teams. Okay, Kansas City has not yet clinched.

51
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 2: This game this weekend against Cincinnati is very meaningful for them.

52
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: And they stumble there. It's other teams are still alive

53
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: and I think they only have to win one of

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: their last two.

55
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 2: The Raiders in the Broncos would both be alive for

56
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: the division.

57
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: Title Division title right right, Like they can completely.

58
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: Miss the playoffs.

59
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: Still's mind boggling. Yeah, it really is. I get it.

60
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: I mean they've been playing poorly. I think they'll handle

61
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: the Bengals, but that's not a done deal. Jamar Chase

62
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: comes back and would that eliminate the Bengals.

63
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: If the Bengals lose, they would be eight and eight

64
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: and not quite eliminated, but I mean they may be

65
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: because they're three and seven. It would depend on who

66
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: the other teams are because they do have a win

67
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: over Buffalo. They do have you know, they've been okay, it.

68
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 3: Just depends who else loses and who's the remaining okay.

69
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: And I think that's the case for a lot of

70
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: the non a f C South wild card contenders, Steelers, Bills,

71
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: you know, Bengals, those guys.

72
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: So where it gets starts to get a little hinky

73
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: here is it? Like the Bills are still alive to

74
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: win the a FC East, Yes, where Miami has clinched

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: a playoff spot, So Miami would still could still get

76
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: into the players they're they're in the playoffs.

77
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: Miami is going either way. Yeah, either way.

78
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: But I believe, and I ran this through some of

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: the simulator stuff, I believe if the if the Dolphins

80
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: lose out and the Steelers would win, in the Steelers

81
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: would be the higher seeded team. The Dolphins over seven seed.

82
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: So there's a chance the Steelers aren't even the seven.

83
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they get it. They could be the six. They

84
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: have the tiebreaker over Buffalo as well, assuming Buffalo loses

85
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: one of its Buffalo would have to lose one of

86
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: its final two games, which would get them a six

87
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: conference loss.

88
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: Does Buffalo control their own fate, like if they win

89
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: their next two, are they in the matter of what?

90
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 3: Okay, I thought so, okay, yeah, and the South is

92
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: a mess.

93
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: Yeah. Currently the two teams that control their own fate

94
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: are Buffalo and Indianapolis. They're currently in the six and

95
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: seven spots.

96
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so you're really rooting against those teams.

97
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: If those two teams really what you're rooting for this weekend.

98
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: This is the ideal situation from the Steelers. Obviously, the

99
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: Colts lose to the Raiders, which is possible.

100
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: I think it's like a three point spread and a

101
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: half something like.

102
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: That, because the Colts then host Houston in week eight. Team. Yeah,

103
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: so that you want the Colts to lose this week

104
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: and win next week.

105
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: Okay, Stroud's back and you'd probably still be around for

106
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: that game. But Pittman's also back for Indy and should

107
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: be you know, around.

108
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: If that happens, and you feel pretty good about yourself.

109
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, things line up that.

110
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: Things line up if you if you go to go

111
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: to and of course, of course that's the that's the

112
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 2: part of the whole equation.

113
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter else.

114
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: It is the most difficult part of the equation the

115
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: Steelers winning the final two games.

116
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: I agree, agree, we'll get the predictions and stuff. I mean,

117
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: I think this is a winnable game. If my chance,

118
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 3: Baltimore's got all guns of blazing, that's going to be

119
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: a really difficult challenge. But we know, I don't think.

120
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: So they're not going to because I think they're gonna

121
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: beat Miami.

122
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 3: I do too, but I mean it's not a done deal.

123
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: But still all guns of blazing Ravens. It's still Steelers Ravens.

124
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's we saw earlier this year and you

125
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 2: know what happens.

126
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: Yes, doubts we thirty to nothing, you know, I mean,

127
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: it's still going to be probably a tight game. So

128
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: most importantly, and can't stress this enough, and everybody knows

129
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 3: that you gotta win Seattle.

130
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: You know, you got to do something that you haven't

131
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: done since nineteen eighty three. But to your point, this

132
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: is a winnable game. I guess it was an injury

133
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: report again today from extents last night was unbelievable.

134
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: Let's do that there.

135
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, when you start looking at who

136
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: they potentially won't have for this game.

137
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 3: While you're digging that out. Another thing I've found out

138
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: in the last twenty four hours. This team throws the

139
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 3: ball well. Of course, their protection's bad, we've known that,

140
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 3: but they're particularly bad against man coverage. And the Steelers will,

141
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 3: of course porter on Metcalf, et cetera. They're a heavy

142
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: man team, and even with the state of their safeties

143
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: and linebackers, et cetera, I bet they're kind of aggressive

144
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: with their man coverage calls.

145
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: So we talked about the practice report for Wednesday yesterday. Obviously,

146
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,559
Speaker 2: being on the West Coast, their practice report isn't finished

147
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: until until after our show ends. So yesterday it is.

148
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: A big day that Stursday.

149
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't have wide receiver uh D s Gridge Okay,

150
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: I thought he's playing. Didn't have tackle Jason Peters, No

151
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker wow again shoulder his shoulder and illness. Uh

152
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: No linebackers uh Nick Bellore and Jordan Brooks. Defensive ends

153
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: Mario Edwards and Draymond Jones. Linebacker Frank Clark now he

154
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: was arresting player at this but he hasn't really played

155
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: for them. And DK Metcalf is that new.

156
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: Was he on it last year?

157
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: He was not on it yesterday. That's a new one

158
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 2: with a back issue.

159
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 3: Wow. Okay, didn't practice it all, Yes, didn't practice at

160
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: all yesterday. I mean, what if he doesn't go, Then.

161
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: If he doesn't go, the Steelers win this game.

162
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: I tend to agree. I mean that would be a.

163
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: If he and Walker don't go, Yeah, the Steelers win

164
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: this game.

165
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: Explosives really worry me. And Walker is a very explosive

166
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: running back and he doesn't catch a lot of passes,

167
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: but when they dump it to him, he doesn't lot quickly.

168
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: And we know what thek can do.

169
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: The guys who were limited again, we're Anthony Bradford, safety,

170
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: Jamal Adams in cornerback, Devin Witherspoon.

171
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: Okay, that's two days in a row.

172
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: For all three of those guys being limited.

173
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: All were more or less starters. Bradford's starting guard, Yeah,

174
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: but he's not great. But it's just I think Peters

175
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: would probably have been his backup. I mean, he's played

176
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: a lot of guard and he's played a lot of

177
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: right tackle. Wow, I'm trying to think how that all

178
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: would shape out. Adams really doesn't move the needle one

179
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: way or another. For me to be honest with you.

180
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: But I actually kind of prefer he played.

181
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you can. If it's Tim on Friar

182
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: Muth or whatever, I think you go that direction often,

183
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: or him on Warren even you know, spoon matters. I mean,

184
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 3: I think he's their best corner. As we were talking

185
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 3: about yesterday. Last week they had already Burns played almost

186
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: fifty snaps. I mean you'd like that.

187
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a hip issue for a cornerback.

188
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: He's missed what the last two games with that.

189
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: I think so, I know he didn't play last week.

190
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: I think it's been two yeah, So, I mean all

191
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: the that's a big thing you scout with corners. Your

192
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 3: hip swive, will hip turn right, ability to flip your hip.

193
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: I mean, now they're a heavy zone team, so it's

194
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: not like he's you know, there asking him to turn

195
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: and run with guys not.

196
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: As much, right, but but still, when somebody runs basket

197
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: you you got to explode, you.

198
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: Know, even if they catch the ball in front of you,

199
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: you gotta drop your hips. They come up and make

200
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: the tackle.

201
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: That too, That too, This is something the Niners do

202
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: really well. I would run at their corners. I would

203
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: try to get guys on the edge and make him.

204
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: Tackle and a little bit.

205
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, i'd get try to get a nausey coming

206
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 3: down down hill on him early. And I'm not a

207
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: doctor and I hate talking about injuries, but just hip

208
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 3: for a corner that he's missed time. I bet that's

209
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: a game time decision. I bet out that's a go,

210
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: give it a try, and maybe the first quarter he's like, eh, yeah,

211
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not loving this. And then you got

212
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: already burns out there yet, you know.

213
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's that's an extensive injury report for them

214
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: and some really key players. I mean Jones.

215
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: Jones is one of the best, most important guys. Yeah,

216
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 3: he's making a lot of money. So I mean that

217
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: two line injury.

218
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: Bruts is their best linebacker.

219
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, then we get Bush if you don't have him,

220
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 3: you know. So there's former Steeler first round picks waiting

221
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: in the wings that these guys they an't go and

222
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: they had to play a.

223
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: Lot significant, significant things here. So yeah, I mean, you know,

224
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 2: so it's it's it's a winnable game.

225
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: Oh, I think so too.

226
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: The question is, you know, do you do you see

227
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: ghosts of Christmas past when you go out there and

228
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: deal with that that city that it's a different facility

229
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: obviously over the years, but of course, I mean you've

230
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: had some rough goes of it out there.

231
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think there's a lot of credence to that.

232
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 3: You know. Again, I'm brought up the Wolf and I mean, oh,

233
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: you know, Wolf is playing a long time. Yeah. I mean, like,

234
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: I wonder how many I.

235
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: Mean, it's not the Kingdom.

236
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 3: The Kingdom was loud, yeah, yeah, but I wonder how

237
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: many current Steelers have any memories of that place, you know,

238
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: or making the Seattle road trip. Doesn't that current.

239
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: Ones it will Becam Haywards maybe would be the other one.

240
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: Right, I don't think anyone's like, boy, I hated come

241
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 3: in here, you know.

242
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,599
Speaker 2: Yeah. Is it remarkably louder than say, Kansas City is

243
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,359
Speaker 2: remarkably louder than Baltimore.

244
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, some of these places. I mean it's a little

245
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: bit longer road trip, but you don't have these terrible

246
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: memories of it. I mean, Tomlin might.

247
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: No, you're not. You're not beaten before you get on

248
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: the plane.

249
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 3: Right, Right, it's not like, boy, I hate going here,

250
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: you know. Their attitude should Finally, it's any other road

251
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: trip unless they're listening to all the media all week.

252
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: Oh they'd never went there.

253
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was interesting. Like Joey Porter Junior

254
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: talked about the matchup with with DK Metcalf. He goes, oh,

255
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: this is when I had circled all year long. I

256
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: can imagine because this is you know, I mean, Metcalf

257
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: is considered one of the top receivations in the league,

258
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 2: and you know, you want to keep testing yourself, you

259
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: want And I'm also I'm pretty sure he probably had

260
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: it circled because Witherspoon was one of the guys that

261
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: went ahead of him.

262
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure he paid attention.

263
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: It's not just a Metcalf situation. But yeah, you know

264
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: he thought he's a first rounder, but.

265
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: You was a thirty second pick in this year.

266
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: That's not a first round, right, But yeah, and these

267
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,479
Speaker 2: other corners went ahead of him.

268
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, those guys remember that stuff for sure. It Metcalf

269
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: doesn't go, would you put them on Locket? I mean,

270
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 3: there's such different players, and you know Porter has been

271
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: priming for Metcalf all week or you just left right

272
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 3: at Maybe I think he just left right and I

273
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: think I'd left right it because Lockett's such a different style. Yeah,

274
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: and he's craftier and you know, not that Porter would

275
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 3: be horrible against him, but.

276
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: You know you did you just say, hey, you got

277
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: Smith and Jigba and double team Lockett all the time.

278
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he would drift the slot. But Porter's

279
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: done some of that. You know. In terms of follow up, I'm.

280
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 2: Sure they matched up against each other the Big Ten.

281
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 3: In the Big Ten, I'm sure they cross paths, no doubt.

282
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 3: So interesting.

283
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then those are things that will you know,

284
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 2: the Steelers will figure out here as they continue.

285
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: To meta news. Yeah.

286
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's when when it crops up like that. Yeah,

287
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: after he practiced on Wednesday, then didn't practice and it's.

288
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: A back Yeah, and so those type of things are

289
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: usually alarms.

290
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: Yeah stuff. But yeah, you look at this, the situation

291
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: here in the AFC. Yeah, you have to climb over

292
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: two teams essentially to get into the playoffs. But you know,

293
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: either Indianapolis or Houston are gonna they play each other.

294
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so much is going to be learned

295
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: in the next couple of days.

296
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: A tie would actually be the ideal situation in that game.

297
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 3: Hasn't been any all year, hasn't been a tie this.

298
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: Year, if those two teams, Tye and the Steelers go

299
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: to and oh, is.

300
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: That like two losses essentially, because you would finish because

301
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 3: they would both be at nine nine wins and you

302
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 3: would assuming they win this week.

303
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd have one more win.

304
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: You're in more win than those guys. That would be

305
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: That would be lovely. I mean everything I own on

306
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 3: bet in that one. But that's interesting.

307
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, so you know, I don't know

308
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: how you look at this. You know, do your root

309
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 2: or do.

310
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: You say, I know we're rooting for Baltimore.

311
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: The Bills can just win out because the problem then becomes, Okay,

312
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: so if you do get in, is that let's say

313
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: you're in a seventh seed. You want to go to Buffalo,

314
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: you want to go to Miami.

315
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: I'd not try to go to Miami. Yeah, I'm not

316
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 3: try to go to Miami.

317
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm with you, and they would right now. I mean,

318
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 2: they're pretty locked in with Kansas City losing unless Miami

319
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: loses out, which.

320
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: Is possible, that mean it's Ravens Bills.

321
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 2: But if Miami loses out and the Bills went out,

322
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: the Bills win a division.

323
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: So be worried about I mean certainly I might if then.

324
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: Kansas I'm trying to think Kansas City beat Buffalo, right,

325
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah, So Kansas City with two wins

326
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: would then be the two seed, so he can go

327
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: to Kansas City instead.

328
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: Case he can still be the two seed if if

329
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: they beat Yeah, it won't be the South Okay, Yeah,

330
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: they beat.

331
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: The Dolphins, so they had to head there and they

332
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: beat or they lost to the Bills. So no, the

333
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: Bills could be the two.

334
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: Wow, Bills could be all the way to two.

335
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: You go from being out of the playoffs.

336
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: Both Kansas City has to lose one.

337
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: No, even if they finished TI they have the same

338
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: record right now, they're both not.

339
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 3: Sid So if the Bills win both, they would be

340
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: the two Dolphins win to the lose the Ravens even if.

341
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: It doesn't at all, doesn't matter.

342
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 3: If Bill win both, they win the division.

343
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: They win, they win the division, and they're the two seed.

344
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 3: Wow. Times have change. I mean they like eight teams

345
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: that there are ten teams a climb over like two

346
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: days ago. It seems like, you know, but that's just

347
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: that's so.

348
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: But when people look at this, this whole thing and say,

349
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: well there's No, there's no way, you know, Houston's losing

350
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: to Tennessee.

351
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: Or real right, right, right, No, It's happened in the

352
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: league this year.

353
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,239
Speaker 2: I'm done talking.

354
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 3: In absolutes now.

355
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it.

356
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like we're just talking about the Bills

357
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: like they could stumble against to England this year. Yeah,

358
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say there's no way they can't beat Belichick,

359
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, like that could be a ten

360
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: to nine game that they lose with a kick at

361
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 3: the end or something. I mean, this this league is bonkers.

362
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, so sneaking into the playoffs, is

363
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: that is the seven might get you Buffalo.

364
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: Might get your Buffalo. I think it might. I think

365
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: there's a good chance, a chance that we get to.

366
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: All it takes is the Bills to win the next two.

367
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: I think they're favored in both. I think they're favored

368
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: against Miami if they played right now.

369
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: I think so too.

370
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, especially without Model. Yeah I doubt he

371
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 3: plays next week. Yeah, I playing this week and he's

372
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 3: already been ruled out. Huh okay, So.

373
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: It's it's all right there ahead of them. It's just

374
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: a matter and I don't. Honestly, at this point, I

375
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: don't care who you who you they would match up

376
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: against in the playoffs. Just get in. Yeah, that's just

377
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: get in.

378
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's being pretty big.

379
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: Although I have to I have to say that a

380
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: trip to Kansas City, I mean, it looks like it's

381
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: a done deal. The Cleveland is going to play the

382
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: winner of the AFC South.

383
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: Which isn't too bad for them. I would be pretty

384
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 3: comfortable with that if I'm the go into Jacksonville, Indy

385
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: or Houston, unless they're probably favorites in all those on

386
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: the road.

387
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: The only way that wouldn't happen would be if Miami

388
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: would win this week but then lose next week in

389
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: Cleveland loses at Cincinnati, which could happen.

390
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: That could happen to game. Cleveland can still win the

391
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 3: division though, right.

392
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: Cleveland right now can still win the division. That's why

393
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Miami game is so meaningful. If Baltimore wins it,

394
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: they clinched the division.

395
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then they're just relaxing for two weeks then yeah, okay,

396
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: if okay, I think I know the answer to this.

397
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: If Baltimore wins Sunday, are they the one seed. No

398
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: matter what. I know, they win the division, but do

399
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: they need anything else to happen to rest their starters.

400
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: Cleveland's will lose, but I mean everybody behind, everybody behind

401
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 2: them would have to lose in Miami would have a

402
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 2: head to head win over them, so Miami would be

403
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: the one seed. So that no, they're not resting.

404
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 3: I'm just saying if Baltimore wins.

405
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: Oh, if they win, they're the one seed, I believe.

406
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, okay, do we need any other things?

407
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure how that works because Cleveland right

408
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 2: now is three and two in the division. And those

409
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: two teams split.

410
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Cleveland's already.

411
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: And Cleveland's a game behind with one game left.

412
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: What's their tie breakers? That's what we don't know.

413
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: Again, they split. If Baltimore wins this week, they would

414
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: be eight and three in the conference. Cleveland would be

415
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 2: eight and three. Cleveland is eight and three in the conference.

416
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 2: But I don't think everything that I've seen says Baltimore

417
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: clinches the one seed this week.

418
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 3: I thought that, but I was just a little uncertain.

419
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how that would work if Cleveland them win.

420
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: If Cleveland were to win its its regular season finale

421
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: and Baltimore would lose it. Cleveland would have the better

422
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: division record.

423
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 3: So we might need so there might be no chance

424
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 3: that they wrest their starters in week eighteen. Are we

425
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: talking ourselves in the circles?

426
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: I think we're talking ourselves and let's take a break

427
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: and take a look and see exactly.

428
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 3: Because the Browns win last night, I don't think has

429
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 3: that much bearing.

430
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: I don't think so either.

431
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 3: I mean, they can't rest their sto.

432
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: Baltimore seven and three in conference. Cleveland's eight and three

433
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: in conference.

434
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: Okay, and so they would both be eight and three.

435
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take a look at it figured out anyway.

436
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 2: He is Matt Williams and I am Dale. Allie, you're

437
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: listening to the Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. We'll

438
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: be back with more right after this.

439
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

440
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black

441
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

442
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I am Dale LOLLI he is the Matt

443
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: Williamson and Matt I'm a dummy.

444
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: I am too, but I'm not looking at it. But yeah,

445
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 3: we should have figured this out off the thought of

446
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: our head.

447
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cleveland has eleven wins right now because they played

448
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: last night.

449
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: Of course, the only one more game, play one more game.

450
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 2: Baltimore has two. So if Baltimore right now is one

451
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 2: game ahead of them, if they win this week, they're

452
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 2: two games ahead of them. Cleveland can't catch them.

453
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 3: Baltimore's twelve wins right now, they have twelve r ins,

454
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: brow thirteen.

455
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: Is one more than that is the magic number, got it?

456
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: Okay, catch them? Yeah, okay, that's fine.

457
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: Now, if Miami wins that game, they're they are then

458
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: tied with Baltimore at twelve wins, Cleveland one win behind him.

459
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: That would leave Cleveland the door open for Cleveland to

460
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 2: potentially win the division, which is why Baltimore would play

461
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: its guys.

462
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, and I think they must win.

463
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: I want to talk into circles again. But just listening

464
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: to the announcers last night for the Browns game, I

465
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: think if the Browns win their final game and the

466
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: Ravens lose, both the Browns.

467
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: Win, the Browns win the divisions.

468
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: As you just said, confused but okay, fair enough, okay.

469
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: Okay, uh yeah, but so if you look at this, so.

470
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 3: Who else will we rooting against. We want the Ravens

471
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 3: to win.

472
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 2: You want the Ravens to win, You want potentially Buffalo

473
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: to lose, because Buffalo would then need to win to

474
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs against Miami.

475
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean teams like that, like although.

476
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: That doesn't really matter, that doesn't factor in as much

477
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: what you really need to happen. Buffalo would have to

478
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: lose out to not make the playoff.

479
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean it would. I guess it's better if

480
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: they lose the New England because New England doesn't gain

481
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 3: anything but win, right, But they're not that important to

482
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 3: this really to me at all.

483
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: Centers on the AFC South, you need two of those

484
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: three teams.

485
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: To lose a game out of six possibles.

486
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: Of six possibles, that's not too bad.

487
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they can go four and two, and there's some

488
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 3: of them are there's one of them ahead.

489
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 2: The head, and there's one of them that's aheadhead. Again,

490
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: you need to win in Seattle. You need to then

491
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 2: win in Baltimore, which again to me is the toughest, yeah,

492
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: of the whole thing, because well, without question, to me,

493
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: Indianapolis could lose to the Raiders.

494
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 3: Well that's a field goal game right now?

495
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess right, Houston could certainly lose to Tennessee. Yes,

496
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 2: I mean that was a nineteen sixteen game two weeks ago.

497
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: Sounds like it's going to be Levis and Stroud. Yeah,

498
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 3: Jacksonville's disaster. I know they're playing Carolina, but I don't

499
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 3: think Lawrence is gonna play.

500
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: Here's the thing right now, Tennessee is zero and four

501
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 2: in their division. Really, they're the only well, they and

502
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: Cincinnati are the only winless teams in their division. Do

503
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: we really think those two teams are going to go

504
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: oh and six in their divisions?

505
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 3: I don't know.

506
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Carolina has a division win this year.

507
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's rare to go and see it's.

508
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: Really hard to I'm just looking to take a look here.

509
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: If there's any every team. Well, no, Washington and Arizona

510
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 2: are the only other two teams that don't have a

511
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: win in their division.

512
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean it's rare. I mean I do think

513
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 3: that Jacksonville could lose to Carolina. I I think Houston

514
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: handles Tennessee, but Tennessee's not playing bad. No, and they

515
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 3: almost beat Seattle, I mean almost beat Seattle.

516
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a week and almost beat Tennis or Houston

517
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: two weeks ago, Like they gave them everything they can handle.

518
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't think going back to Levis hurts

519
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: their chances compared to Tannehill.

520
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: No. You know, I'll say, you know, one thing you

521
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 2: always say about Mike Rabels team is they'll they'll go

522
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: after it.

523
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna play hard and they're going to be

524
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: difficult to play against. Yeah. Their offense actually gotten a

525
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 3: little better lately too.

526
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 2: So you know, do I do I think the Titans lose?

527
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: They have two They're a huge factor in this. Yes,

528
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: they play Houston this week, Jacksonville next week.

529
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 3: Go Titans. Everybody's a Titans fan, Tans fan, and we're

530
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: hate the AFC South. I mean, just any AFC thing

531
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 3: this is great except for the Titans.

532
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: So if the Titans, you actually kind of want the

533
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 2: Titans to beat Jacksonville in this regular season finale.

534
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: Sure, I mean, Titans are spoilers galore.

535
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 2: Because Houston and Indianapolis play each other the final week

536
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 2: of the season.

537
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 3: I mean, any Jacksonville loss is great.

538
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

539
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: I mean.

540
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: If here's the thing, the Titans could win this week,

541
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: but then if Indianapolis beats Houston next week, it doesn't matter.

542
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: I see you're saying, you're right, right, So if Tennessee

543
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 3: is gonna win only one of the next two, you

544
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 3: prefer its week, prefer to be the Jacksonville because that

545
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 3: would knock them up, because I think, well.

546
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: Then that makes Houston Indianapolis. Basically, you know, if the

547
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: Colts would happen to lose to the Raiders, that would

548
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: make that an elimination game.

549
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know this answer, but if

550
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: the Jags beat that, it doesn't even matter the Steelers.

551
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 3: But if the Jags beat the Panthers lose to the Titans,

552
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 3: can they still win the division?

553
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, depending on what happens.

554
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: And which team wins. Yeah, okay, just direct tie breakers.

555
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 3: So okay, does Denver need that much or does I

556
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 3: don't think the Raiders.

557
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: Need that Denver's twelfth right now?

558
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, the.

559
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 2: Raiders need a lot because they have seven wins right now.

560
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't think the Raiders two games.

561
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 2: They would need everybody ahead of them to finish it

562
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 2: with nine wins or fewer. And of course they lose

563
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: a tiebreaker to the Steelers the head Yeah, I mean

564
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: they've got that's really hard.

565
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 3: Okay, I thought it was easier for them, which shocked me.

566
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: But they're they're a game.

567
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: But the path to winning the division is easier than

568
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: it is.

569
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, two Casey losses to Raider wins. Yeah, you win

570
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: the division and they.

571
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: Have that's possible. They have the Chargers and Colts left

572
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 2: on their schedule.

573
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: I think they do. Yeah, who don't Raiders, Yeah, Raiders go,

574
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: Colts Chargers Yeah where case must have Bengals Broncos. Yeah,

575
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 3: and they're gonna win one of those, should they? E

576
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 3: would think you would think?

577
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's it's it's very fascinating.

578
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 3: There this week. So, I mean, it'll be fun just

579
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 3: to talk about, of course if the Steelers win, but

580
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 3: so much of this will be clear with the Steelers win,

581
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: and no matter what happens on Monday or too.

582
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll know if even if the

583
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: Steelers win, you have a pretty it'll be much clearer, much.

584
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 3: Clear to happen, one or two things need to happen

585
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: or whatever. Okay, but I've been told, and I think

586
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: many people said this, if the Steelers win both, they're

587
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: over ninety percent chance.

588
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 2: Yeah.

589
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, and here's the thing, because of who plays,

590
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 3: they can.

591
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: Finish ahead of Buffalo. It's as the sixth seed because

592
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 2: right now Buffalo they didn't play this year. If Buffalo

593
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: loses one of these two games, it's a conference game, right,

594
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: they have a ton of them loss Yeah, right now

595
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 2: they have five conference losses. The Steelers have five conference losses. Well,

596
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: to get to to get to ten and seven, the

597
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: Steelers would beat the Ravens, that would put them at

598
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 2: seven and five in a conference. If Buffalo loses one

599
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: of these final two games conference loss, conference, you got

600
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 2: seven loss or six losses, you're the seventh seed, six seed,

601
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: right and the Steelers are the sixth seed.

602
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, And you said you're okay, Okay, so

603
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 3: it would I'd love be I mean, I don't think

604
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: it's gonna happen, but we wouldn't mind seeing the Bills

605
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 3: lose the Patriots this week. No, I mean another.

606
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: Conference loss of that matter?

607
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, interesting, Okay, I.

608
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 2: Mean, which one do you fear? I know which one

609
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: you fear playing.

610
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 3: I don't want to go to Buffalo. I'd rather go

611
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: anywhere than besides Baltimore.

612
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. And here's the thing about Miami, Like the Steelers

613
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 2: played Miami last year. It was a sixteen to ten game,

614
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: I know. And the Steelers are throwing into the end zone, yeah,

615
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: twice in the last four minutes to win that game.

616
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 3: I think Miami's gonna lose next two.

617
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 2: I do too.

618
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they're in a great spot right now.

619
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: There are lines all banged up, Wattle defense has some

620
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 3: it's playing well, but that's keeping them in games, you know,

621
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 3: and they're I think they're wearing down a little bit.

622
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 2: Yeah to me, that everything keys this week on the

623
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 2: Steelers running game.

624
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 3: Me too, me too, and I think it can be

625
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 3: very successful. I also think you can't allow the big

626
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 3: plays to Yeah. I mean, like I think Gino Smith

627
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 3: could put up a lot of points, I mean a

628
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: lot of yardage if they can protect. I mean Geno

629
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: Smith with these three receivers, if they're all healthy against

630
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 3: the Steelers back seven scares me. But if you can

631
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: run the ball and keep them off the field a

632
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 3: little bit. As we say every week, I mean, the

633
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: Steelers running game is first and foremost to me in

634
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 3: every competition or every game they play, but especially this

635
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 3: one considering.

636
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: The key plays. Yeah, yeah, play on the field.

637
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 3: And their run defense is horrible.

638
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 2: It's horrible. Yeah, it's This is also a game you mentioned,

639
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: you know, the last two games they've scored twenty four

640
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 2: points in the fourth quarter. Well they have in the

641
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: first three quarters. That it's like sixteen sixteen total points

642
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: six quarters over six quarters. If this is a game

643
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: in which you can get out to a lead, you

644
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: take that crowd out of the game.

645
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: That'd be humongous, humongous. And then you start rushing the

646
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 3: passer too, Yeah, I mean, because their protection is pretty bad, and.

647
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 2: Then you can also continue to run the football.

648
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: So to me, getting out earlier, I think it is

649
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 3: really important.

650
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: One of the other keys to this game is Eric

651
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: Row and Patrick Peterson in the back end. Oh yeah, Like,

652
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 2: don't let anything get over your head, don't.

653
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 3: Take bad angles like the Higgins play. I mean, you

654
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 3: can't have that at all against.

655
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I guarantee you they're going to try something

656
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: like that again.

657
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 3: Without without question, without question. I mean I could even

658
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 3: see Fan down the down the scene. You know, he

659
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 3: can run. He's not a great player, he hasn't lived

660
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: up the first round status. But I think i'd take

661
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 3: the over on Smith and the Jigbuk catches as well.

662
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 3: I mean he isn't probably going to hit the home run,

663
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 3: but sit down in the middle of the field against

664
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 3: lot corners or in front of those safeties. I could

665
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 3: see those guys having success. So that's a huge key

666
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 3: to me.

667
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, you know, you're talking about two veterans, guys

668
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: who've played a lot of games, but in the case

669
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: of Peterson, not a lot of time at free safety.

670
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was about that was about say, the same

671
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: thing is they both have been around the block a lot,

672
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: but Row hasn't played in a while. So I think

673
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: getting a game under his belt is very helpful. Oh okay,

674
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 3: the speed of the game I remember now it's certainly

675
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: not practice. And getting each game as a true safety

676
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 3: for Peterson I think is valuable. You know, like, okay,

677
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 3: I've done this once, not the first time. Should be

678
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 3: a little bit better, you know, a little more comfortable.

679
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: This is also a game where TJ. Wat could win

680
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year.

681
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 3: Yeah in this game, Yeah yeah.

682
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: A couple of sacks or big play, whatever it may be,

683
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: would go a long way towards locking that up.

684
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: Do you think Garrett helped his cause last night?

685
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: Well, he didn't hurt it like he had the previous right.

686
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, just being on national TV is always good.

687
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 2: He had a sack.

688
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: So side note, I assume you watched the game. The

689
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: Jets twelve penalties.

690
00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: And a lot of them were a false star.

691
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, stupid. They're so sloppy and it's like that whole

692
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 3: team and that whole organization got a pass on the

693
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: fourth snap of the season when Rogers got down. Oh, well,

694
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: it's a wasted year. It's they're so sloppy and they're

695
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: half a yard short of the sticks all the time,

696
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 3: and when they're close to scoring they take a penalty

697
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: and back to Garrett real quick. Can we help Mackay

698
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: Beckton against him? Ever? You know, like, obviously he's struggling.

699
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 3: This guy's a great player. I started paying attention to it,

700
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 3: like midway through the first quarter. I'm like, they have

701
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: no downfield passing. They kept harping on how long it

702
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: takes to get the ball out. Boy, you're getting the

703
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 3: ball out in under two seconds because they can't protect.

704
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 3: You're allowed to backs protect. You're allowed to help this

705
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: guy against Garrett.

706
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: By the way, I found out on the double team rates.

707
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: Oh Okay, we're talking about weight bonkers too.

708
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: If the tight end or back that is chipping you

709
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: helping with the double team then goes out for a pass,

710
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: they don't consider that. They don't consider that a double team.

711
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: But that's dumb, that's stupid, because the ball's coming out

712
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: into less than two point five seconds.

713
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

714
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: If I chip you and that slows you down a second.

715
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, well then that's a double team. I mean, if

716
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: it makes me take one more step or whatever. I mean,

717
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 3: how often I'm sure it's definitely true for Bosa and

718
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: Garrett and all those guys too, But how often is

719
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 3: there a back to the quarterback's right and a tight

720
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: end to the right side of the formation that Watt

721
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: has to at least touch two or three people? Yeah,

722
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 3: like all the time.

723
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 2: It happens a ton of.

724
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 3: And maybe the back doesn't keep maintaining the block and

725
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 3: rolls out to the right there in the flat when

726
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 3: TJ's crushing down on the quarterback as an outlet. Yeah,

727
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 3: but don't tell me that he didn't help.

728
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't tell me he wasn't double teamed.

729
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: Right right, right? Yeah, I don't like that metric.

730
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: Hey, if I hope that the next two opponents double

731
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 2: team TJ. Watt fourteen percent of the time.

732
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: Well, the Jets might have last night against Garrett. What

733
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 3: do you doing help the guy?

734
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? So uh yeah, I mean I think if the

735
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: Steelers again, I think, you know, if you can force

736
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 2: a turnover or two, or block a kick or run

737
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: the football effectively and do it a lot. Yeah, and

738
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 2: just don't turn the ball over yourself and don't give

739
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: up the big plays, you should be in this game.

740
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. The other thing I think is a huge advantage

741
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 3: for the Steelers. It's just their front against that O line.

742
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: I mean, whether it's a run game or especially protection,

743
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: it's a bad O line and they've been shuffling dudes

744
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 3: in and out. We just mentioned two of them on

745
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 3: the on the injury report as it is. Speaking of penalties,

746
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 3: if they keep up their penalty rates, they're going to

747
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 3: hurt themselves.

748
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. When is Sean hockey Ley's crew this week?

749
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 3: What does that mean?

750
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: Uh? Expect to see some kind of crazy penalty that

751
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: you never see called. Is that like they got to

752
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: show you how smart they are?

753
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: So hopefully it's against the home team.

754
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, crazy, some illegal formation with three guys standing on

755
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 2: their heads or I don't know, something that something you've

756
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: never heard called before.

757
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 3: They're going to make something that was a rule. What

758
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 3: we'll take the ten yards or that's ups right, But.

759
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: The Steelers have been pretty good about the penalty's last

760
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: couple of games here, they have they've cut their way

761
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: down here. So, uh, you know, but you look at

762
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 2: the Seahawks are averaging seven penalties per game.

763
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 3: Most ardis in the league.

764
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let them do that, let them self destruct.

765
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 3: A false start in that, you know, on third and eight.

766
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 3: I can understand something like that might happen. But if

767
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: you're the more penalized team, I think that's a problem.

768
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: Which I mean, you know, Steelers line is going to

769
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 2: be working on a silent count.

770
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 3: You know that's expect Yeah. Who's I think they're real close.

771
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: Who's the better special teams d V eight team? Did

772
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: you look at that?

773
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: Seattle?

774
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 3: It is Seattle was Okay? I think Pittsburgh is actually

775
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: ahead of them overall though as a team. Yes, people

776
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: might be blown away by that. Yeah, I think they are.

777
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: That's because their defense is so bad.

778
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, their bottom like they're.

779
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: Defense is worse than the Steelers offense.

780
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the more.

781
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the the their offense and the Steelers defense.

782
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 2: The Steelers defense is slightly better than their offense. I

783
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: think it's Steelers are seventh and Seattle's like eleventh or

784
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: twelfth in offensive DVOA, but Seattle's defenses.

785
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 3: Bad jump yeah, yeah, junk. I mean, I think this

786
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 3: might shock people, but I think the Steelers are eighth

787
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: in terms of scoring against Yeah people, blah blah blah blah.

788
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 3: Seven teams letting up more.

789
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Some of that's the turnover. Some of that is

790
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 2: the red zone defense. That's the other one other area

791
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 2: where Seattle doesn't hold up real well. It's like sixty

792
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: two percent red zone defense, which is down to the bottom.

793
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 3: Of the lene. Yeah, and you brought this up many

794
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 3: times week. Third downs are off offense, tam. Both sides

795
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 3: of the ball should be able to stay on the fields.

796
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 3: I still don't be in third and long in that building,

797
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 3: but third downs are bad, Yeah, both sides.

798
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: Let's get to another break. He is the Matt Williamson.

811
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 2: and you're listening to the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio, Matt.

812
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: In their first fourteen games, the Seahawks allowed three point

813
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 2: six passing plays of twenty or more yards per game.

814
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 2: Over the past two weeks, they haven't allowed one. What

815
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 2: happened to coincide with Jamal Adams not being in.

816
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe, I mean he certainly can get beat deep.

817
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 3: Tennessee is also not the most threatening team in the league.

818
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 3: They do allow a lot of fifteen plus yard runs too,

819
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 3: and the Steelers have a lot of them as well.

820
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 3: But also, my shock, people, but Steelers are explosive as

821
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 3: a ground attack. Their safeties are good, though, I mean

822
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:22,280
Speaker 3: not Adam.

823
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 2: The other two, the other two that aren't Adams John

824
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: Adams safeties, which is crazy because he's the one making

825
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 2: all the.

826
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 3: All the money and gave it two first round picks

827
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: for him.

828
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: I mean, he might be the most overrated player in

829
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 2: the league.

830
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 3: It's one of the worst trades I can remember. I mean,

831
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 3: they made one of the best trades ever for Wilson

832
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 3: and they give made one of the worst not long

833
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 3: ago for Adams. I mean, honestly, he'd have to be

834
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 3: like Paula Maul who a reed to be worth that. Yeah,

835
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 3: I mean what they gave and he wasn't, then you

836
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 3: know it's bonkers.

837
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I just look at this this game. If

838
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: Adams plays, I think that's a good thing.

839
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 3: I do, because he's on the field, he's near the

840
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage.

841
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 2: He's going to play him. You're going to play him.

842
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, play more big nickel with him in there,

843
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,959
Speaker 3: I would imagine. Yeah, I don't think it's a bad

844
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 3: thing at all. If he misses, you'd be aware of

845
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 3: him as a blitzer. Yeah, I mean, your blitz protection

846
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 3: better be sound when you know when he's near the

847
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, which he often is. But if he's

848
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 3: over the top in a too high shower or whatever,

849
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,479
Speaker 3: I went, Pickings bearing down on him downfield. Oh yeah, yeah,

850
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 3: without question.

851
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: It's the same thing. If Witherspoon doesn't play and already

852
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: Burns is in the slot, he's not a slot, no

853
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 2: like put him in. Okay, you're gonna put him in

854
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 2: the slot. I'm gonna We're going to test him.

855
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. I'd like to see more of overall as

856
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 3: a theme, I'd like to see Johnson and Pickens operate

857
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 3: out of the slot more. But in this situation, if

858
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 3: Adams your slot or Burns is your slot, attack to slot.

859
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, attacked the slot. You know, I think when

860
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: you when you really, you know, we've broken this game

861
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: down a ton. There's not a lot of difference between

862
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 2: these two teams in terms of the open I mean,

863
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 2: they're both eight and seven. People are talking about the Seahawks,

864
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 2: Oh my god, And I get it. That's a tough

865
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: venue to play the game. We're here, you'd feel much

866
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: better about.

867
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 3: It, no question. I mean, when the schedule came out,

868
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 3: you're wish that one would have been here, you know.

869
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, but I thought Seattle would be

870
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: better than it is.

871
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 3: Me too, Me too, I thought that'd be more of

872
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 3: a contender. Their defense is rough. You know, if I'm

873
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 3: you know, if I'm a Seahawks fan, maybe I would

874
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 3: look at the expectations at this point of we should

875
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: probably get in the playoffs as a wild card team.

876
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: Maybe we win one, but I don't think you go

877
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 3: to Detroit or Philly or Dallas or certainly San Francisco

878
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 3: and feel comfortable, comfortable it didn't run one at all.

879
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 2: It's amazing to me the similarities between Seattle and Cincinnati.

880
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 3: My better quarterback, better passing attack with Chase out, but yeah,

881
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 3: I mean a multitude of tight ends, kind of underachieving defense,

882
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 3: although you've spent there on there, you know, and you

883
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 3: can't blame injuries. Yeah, bad offensive line, Yeah, more dangerous weapons,

884
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 3: especially without Chase, something like their backs better believe it

885
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,959
Speaker 3: or not. Mike Pursudo is real high on Kenneth Walker. Yeah,

886
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 3: him and Merrill were pretty excited about that last night,

887
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 3: But then we had to finish the show with some

888
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker love.

889
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 2: Belie But even at that, they don't run the ball, well.

890
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 3: Not consistently No, no, yeah, And I'm curious they had

891
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 3: that stretch of losses against tough teams. Is their strength

892
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: of victory low? I would guess that it is, because

893
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 3: I mean I think they beat Arizona twice. Maybe they

894
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 3: finished against Ara Zoe.

895
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 2: I mean they did beat Detroit earlier in the year.

896
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 3: They did. Yeah, yeah, I mean, but they got walled.

897
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 2: Their strength of victory is I.

898
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 3: Mean, I was thinking they got wall of to by

899
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 3: Baltimore and then they had that four game stretch two

900
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 3: against the Niners that they lost, you know, I mean

901
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: like they lost bad to some teams. I mean they

902
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 3: have a negative point differential. I mean it's like mind

903
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 3: thirty or minus forty.

904
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 2: Their quality wins are against Cleveland and Detroit.

905
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 3: Okay, that's that's fine.

906
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: And two quality wins do they offset? I mean the

907
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: Steelers quality wins against Baltimore Cleveland clan and I guess

908
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: you would you would have to say the Rams.

909
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Rams swept these guys, these guys. Yeah,

910
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: I'm curious who the Cleveland quarterback wasn't that game. I

911
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 3: don't really remember that it was.

912
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: It was it was PJ. Walker. That's the worst of

913
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 2: all of them. Yeah, and they got into a shootout

914
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: with PJ. Walker.

915
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 3: That's how bad the Yeah yeah, yeah, said I knew

916
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 3: it wasn't Flacco. Yeah, but Walker is the easiest one

917
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 3: to face of all their quarterbacks.

918
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

919
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 3: Four.

920
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 2: So I don't know if they're a good team or not.

921
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 3: I think they're an average team or slightly above. I

922
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 3: think if they were in the a f C and

923
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 3: had to have a little bit more difficults late.

924
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: Where are they right now?

925
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 3: They better than any of the South teams or all

926
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 3: the South teams, I kind of think. So Cleveland's better.

927
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 3: I know they've lost them, but Cleveland's better.

928
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just wanted to crossover AFC against I don't

929
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: know what division. They lost to the Bengals, beat the

930
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 2: Browns twenty four to twenty, lost to the Ravens. What's

931
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,959
Speaker 2: there other AFC game? You know, the one in here.

932
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 3: Somewhere Tennessee last week? Oh yeah, that makes sense.

933
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 2: Slip past the Twitons Titans twenty to seventeen.

934
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 3: That was in Tennessee. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean that's

935
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,760
Speaker 3: not the greatest win in the world either.

936
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 2: But no, I mean, but okay, you want yeah one

937
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 2: on the road, I get it. That's that's big. I

938
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 2: mean the Steelers also beat the Titans, so.

939
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 3: You're a little bit of a Drew Lock stretch there

940
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 3: too that you survived. Yeah, you know you won one

941
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 3: of them, you know. So, I mean they're good. I

942
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 3: mean I don't think they're terrible. I don't think they're

943
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 3: a contender. I think they're a worthy playoff team either conference.

944
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 3: I mean they if they're playing Jacksonville right now on

945
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 3: neutral field, I would pick them even with Lawrence probably

946
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 3: all the South teams i'd pick them against. But I

947
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 3: don't think they're great.

948
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I just think you look at what

949
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 2: that offense is really good, but you can't discount how

950
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: bad their defense is.

951
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 3: I know, and the old line is really problematic for

952
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 3: me too. I mean, the offense is dangerous. Maybe dangerous

953
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 3: is the better word than good. The weapons are scary,

954
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: and all the guys that are gonna be touching the

955
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 3: ball or good.

956
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 2: Let's put it this way, Matt.

957
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

958
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 2: PJ. Walker through for two hundred and forty eight yards

959
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 2: against them.

960
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 3: Really wow? Where was that game in Seattle? In Seattle?

961
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 3: Was okay? I was curious about the Browns defense. Some

962
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 3: road stuff too.

963
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you get the bad Browns defense in their building.

964
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 2: Gina Smith threw for two to fifty four, two touchdowns

965
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: and two interceptions. They ran for one hundred and fourteen

966
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,479
Speaker 2: yards in that game, so they had over three hundred

967
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 2: yards of offense. Again, the Browns defense on the road

968
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 2: not good. But the Cleveland ran for one five that

969
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 2: The The only problem was is PJ. Walker through two

970
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 2: interceptions and only one touchdowns. That's why he lost the game.

971
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 3: I mean some of the common opponents.

972
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 2: And he lost a fumble, so he turned the ball

973
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 2: over three times.

974
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 3: Don't do that, Yeah, absolutely not. I think Baltimore ran

975
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 3: for close to two fifty almost three hundred. Yeah, and

976
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 3: they don't know what the Batals did. But I was

977
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 3: just thinking about some of the division games against it.

978
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, these are these are teams that obviously

979
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 2: the Steelers are four and one right now in the division.

980
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 2: The Bengals won that game seventeen thirteen.

981
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 3: And who was a Bengals quarterback Burrow?

982
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 2: But he was only Burrow was twenty four or thirty

983
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 2: five for one eighty five with two touchdowns in an interception.

984
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 3: How old did they run on and the.

985
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 2: Bengals had eighteen or fifteen carries for forty six yards.

986
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 3: Wow, you only ran the ball fifteen times.

987
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: But Gino Smith turned the ball over twice, no touchdowns,

988
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: two interceptions. He threw for three twenty six.

989
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 3: He'll put the ball in harm's way. I mean he's

990
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 3: an aggressive passer. Yeah, that we'll try to thread the needle.

991
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 2: So the Bengals won the turnover battle in that game

992
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 2: and won seventeen thirteen. And we know Cincinnati's defense is

993
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 2: not good.

994
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 3: No, no, it wasn't great then either. It's been bad

995
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 3: all year.

996
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, Walker averaged three point three yards per

997
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: carry against the Bengals. Wow, he's I mean he's not

998
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 2: been you know when you look at it, He's had

999
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 2: a couple of big games. Yeah, but nothing like.

1000
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 3: There was a stretch there. I don't know when they

1001
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 3: played the Bengals, but there was a stretch from like

1002
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 3: week ten to fifteen where he was playing hobbled. You know,

1003
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 3: sharbon agg got a lot more of the touches. But

1004
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 3: he's on the injury report now. Yeah, right, so not

1005
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 3: the biggest guy in the world, and he runs hard.

1006
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: No, so looking at his his game log here this year,

1007
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 2: he had twenty six for one oh five against Arizona.

1008
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: That's this one hundred yard game this year.

1009
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 3: Really, he's got one that surprised me because he's been

1010
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 3: getting the fair amount of touches.

1011
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: Carolina, he had eighteen for ninety seven. Everybody runs on Carolina. Yeah, yeah,

1012
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: that game against Cincinnati, had nineteen for sixty two the Titans.

1013
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 2: Last week he had sixteen for fifty four, three point

1014
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 2: four yards.

1015
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 3: They didn't run the ball well at all.

1016
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 2: Last week against the Eagles, it was nineteen for eighty six. Okay,

1017
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 2: that's okay, that's okay, he had it, but he had

1018
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 2: twenty three yard running there. They don't give that up.

1019
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: Uh.

1020
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 2: San Francisco is eight for twenty one. The Rams was

1021
00:44:58,760 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: four for eighteen.

1022
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 3: Oh, he's a point.

1023
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 2: Nineteen for sixty three against Washington again three point three

1024
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 2: yards per carry, you know. Really his most effective games

1025
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: were early in the year. First game against Ramsey averaged

1026
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 2: five point three yards per carry against Detroit seventeen for

1027
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 2: forty three, but he scored two touchdowns against that. In

1028
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 2: the Carolina game, five point four yards per carry against

1029
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 2: the Giants, four point six yards per carry, three point

1030
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 2: three against Cincinnati, four point zero against Arizona. He averaged

1031
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 2: eight point three yards per carry against Cleveland, but he

1032
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 2: had a forty five yard run, so his other his

1033
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 2: other seven carries he had eight for sixty six. His

1034
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: other seven carries he averaged three yards per carry Baltimore

1035
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 2: was he averaged one point eight yards per carry against Baltimore.

1036
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 3: I think he's got more than his share of one

1037
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 3: yard games or less.

1038
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's what it looks like.

1039
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I read that somewhere. I didn't think it

1040
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 3: was a super strong enough one to like throw to

1041
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 3: my stat pack, but.

1042
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 2: That would also make sense on why they're so bad

1043
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 2: on third.

1044
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 3: Downs exactly exactly.

1045
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 2: How many of those third downs are third and eight?

1046
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, and a lot of it. I think

1047
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 3: their on line struggles. Ye, a lot of times. I

1048
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 3: think he's getting hit behind the line of scrimmage. I mean,

1049
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 3: maybe I'll peek at that at some point.

1050
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 2: So he continue that trend.

1051
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say get penetration because if he does get space,

1052
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 3: he's dangerous. And you've seen that as a receiver too.

1053
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 3: I think he has like twenty five catches, but when.

1054
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 2: He gets down like nine yards of catch yeah.

1055
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a lot of it's after first contact and

1056
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 3: in space. But I don't think they've given him a

1057
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 3: lot of space as a runner. No, I don't think

1058
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 3: he's got some injuries and yeah, you know he's a

1059
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 3: good player, but if he's hobbled too, that wouldn't hurt

1060
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 3: the Steelers chances one bit.

1061
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's produced on his one hundred and ninety two

1062
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 2: carries this year, thirty eight first downs, so about won

1063
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 2: every six carries. Yeah, first downs, that's right. No, it's

1064
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: not great. We're going to get to another break. He

1065
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 2: is the Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lolly. You're listening

Speaker 2: Williamson and it is time now for the Fantasy Football Focus,

1073
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 2: and as we do every Friday, we will put together

1074
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 2: our DFS lineup. Let's get a roll in here on

1075
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 2: this because.

1076
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 3: We rememberre's a lot of defenses. We were interested a

1077
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 3: lot of defense.

1078
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so at two thousand dollars on defense? Are the

1079
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 2: Commanders No, not interested in that. The Patriots are at

1080
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 2: twenty three hundred. Well that shows you how there's three

1081
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 2: hundred dollars difference between at the bottom.

1082
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not awful. I mean, if you want to

1083
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 3: go dirt cheap, I mean the Bills will run. I

1084
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 3: mean that's not a great play, but I just think

1085
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 3: it's a good deal.

1086
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 2: The Cardinals are twenty four hundred. The Giants are twenty

1087
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: five hundred against the Rams. Cincinnati is twenty six hundred.

1088
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 3: I don't fear Kansas City. I just think since he's terrible.

1089
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 2: The Panthers are twenty seven hundred against that quarterback against Jacksonville.

1090
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, these playing better lately.

1091
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 2: Uh. Miami is twenty eight hundred. The Ravens are twenty

1092
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 2: eight hundred. Should both those defense be twenty eight hundred?

1093
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 3: Pretty cheap? I mean I would pick the Ravens over

1094
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 3: my own. Yeah, especially without Waddle.

1095
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 2: They shouldn't be the same price.

1096
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if Hamilton's playing, but that's practice yesterday.

1097
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 2: No.

1098
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting the Chargers key against that team.

1099
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, middlefield Chargers are twenty nine hundred. The Broncos are

1100
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 2: twenty nine hundred.

1101
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 3: That doesn't That doesn't do much for me. Oh, that's

1102
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 3: gonna be a low scoring game.

1103
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 2: The Raiders are three thousand, the Texans are three thousand.

1104
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 3: Texans of Tennessee.

1105
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. In Houston, the Saints are thirty one hundred, the

1106

Speaker 2: Falcons are thirty one hundred, the Colts are thirty two hundred,

Speaker 2: two hundred dollars.

1114
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 3: I think jumping out a Baltimore might be my favorite.

1115
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:49,959
Speaker 2: I think I think you start Baltimore twenty eight hundred

1116
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 2: dollars for the number one defense in the league.

1117
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 3: So a couple of Baltimore notes. I mean, they just

1118
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,760
Speaker 3: played a very similar defense.

1119
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: And shut it down and.

1120
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 3: Shut it down, and that's just a familiar thirty of

1121
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 3: it all. The version, in my opinion.

1122
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 2: Two has banged up a model's not going to play.

1123
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 3: Sort of a slow track too against this, you know,

1124
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 3: this fast team physical.

1125
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be some weather in the East Coast

1126
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 2: this week. I'll think that all did.

1127
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Miami's ot line is not great. They haven't been

1128
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 3: blowing anyone's doors off lately.

1129
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 2: Okay, that's cool with that. Yeah, tight end Kelsey is

1130
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 2: seven thousand.

1131
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 3: I don't think he's worth it anymore.

1132
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 2: Cincinnati is thirty first against tight ends. Yeah, they're awful.

1133
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 2: McBride against Philadelphia's fifty nine hundred. I don't hate that that.

1134
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram, He's brown, is shut down for the year too.

1135
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Evan Ingram is fifty seven hundred.

1136
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 3: Not with the quarterback situation.

1137
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 2: Kittle is fifty six hundred.

1138
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 3: It's fine.

1139
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 2: Dalton king Kaid is forty nine hundred.

1140
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 3: Sure, Washington's bad against tight ends too. They're bad against everything.

1141
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 2: They're actually tenth.

1142
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 3: Well, Actually their safeties aren't bad. Curl's not a bad player,

1143
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 3: you know.

1144
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 2: Goddard is forty eight hundred against Arizona, who was one

1145
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 2: right before Goddard today, Dalton Kincaid forty nine hundred, Cole

1146
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 2: Comet forty sive one hundred. He's questionable. Isaiah Likely is

1147
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 2: forty six hundred. Darren Waller is forty five hundred. They

1148
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: didn't throw to him until late in the game last trust. Yeah,

1149
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 2: the Rams are twenty ninth against opposing tight ends. Taysom

1150
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,760
Speaker 2: Hill forty four hundred. Tampa Bay is thirtieth against opposing

1151
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 2: tight ends after he's a tight end. But again, the.

1152
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 3: Touches, like, what's his usage lately?

1153
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 2: It hasn't been as good.

1154
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 3: As laid down.

1155
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think he was a little nicked up.

1156
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 2: I don't think he is now. So last week against

1157
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 2: the Rams he had two rushing attempts for two yards,

1158
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 2: no catches.

1159
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 3: It's a critical game for the Saints, so yeah.

1160
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 2: I hear you. I understand why he's that low. Dalton

1161
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 2: Schultz against the Titans is forty three hundred. But Tennessee's

1162
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 2: number one against opposing tight ends.

1163
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 3: Really after trading Buyer too, that's surprising.

1164
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kyle Pitts is forty one hundred. Chicago's twenty seventh

1165
00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 2: against opposing tight ends. Or Henry is four thousand, Pat

1166
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 2: Farmouth thirty seven hundred, Chicken Conkuo is thirty six hundred.

1167
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 3: I think he's done a lot more lately. What are

1168
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 3: they against twenty eighth? Wow?

1169
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 2: Well last week he had six for sixty three, but

1170
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 2: last week it was not the rookie.

1171
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 3: Oh right, last week it was.

1172
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. So as you're looking at three for thirty six

1173
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 2: the last time against Houston, I don't love it. Yeah,

1174
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 2: your typical tight end.

1175
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 3: I thought he was spiking more than that.

1176
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: Logan Thomas against San Francisco, Gerald Everett against Denver thirty

1177
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars. They're thirty second against opposing tight ends,

1178
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,280
Speaker 2: and they don't have any other they don't have anybody

1179
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 2: else playing.

1180
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Easton Stick's not terrible.

1181
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody has to catch the football.

1182
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 3: I don't mind that. And if we end up with, oh,

1183
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 3: we got a bunch of money left over, maybe we

1184
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 3: can grade. Yeah. I mean I don't trust him, but

1185
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 3: he isn't Pitchers. It's that bad. Stick doesn't worry me

1186
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 3: that much. I mean, it'll be okay.

1187
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 2: Let's plug it in and see where we're at. I mean,

1188
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 2: what that gets us really cheap?

1189
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 3: We can I mean I was thinking about McBride or

1190
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 3: I was leaning towards some of the expensive guys. Yeah,

1191
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 3: but I didn't like the mid tier guys at all.

1192
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 2: A quarterback Jalen Hurts is eighty three hundred against Arizona. Yeah,

1193
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 2: they need to win that game, I know. Yeah, Josh

Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is seventy five hundred, Tua is seventy four hundred.

1196
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,760
Speaker 2: Of course they're number one against opposing quarterbacks.

1197
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 3: I don't play our defense against our quarterback.

1198
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 2: No, No, Justin Fields is seventy three hundred against Atlanta.

1199

Speaker 3: I'm not worried about him at all. I mean, I

1204
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:56,200

00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:07,919

Speaker 2: first against opposing running backs, the.

1244
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 3: Same logic, he's probably gonna catch five balls.

1245
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 2: It kind of is. But Jean Robinson is sixty six hundred.

1246
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 3: You know that interests me.

1247
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift is sixty five hundred. Arizona is dead last

1248
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 2: against opposing running backs.

1249
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 3: I mean, this doesn't get the Tousch push stuff, but

1250
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 3: he's still if he scores from a ten, Yeah, yeah,

1251
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 3: I think that's a good one.

1252
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon is sixty four hundred. Josh Jacobs is sixty

1253
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 2: two hundred, he's questionable. Yeah, Kenneth Walker sixty one hundred,

1254
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 2: he's questionable. Ezekiel Elliott six thousand, questionable, all the touches.

1255
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 2: Gus Edwards fifty nine hundred, James Connor fifty nine hundred,

1256
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 2: Cheuba Hubbard fifty eight hundred, no designation, Brian Robinson fifty

1257
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 2: seven hundred, Devin Singletary fifty six hundred, pretty cheap for him.

1258
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 2: Javonte Williams is fifty six hundred, not bad either, Jaylen

1259
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 2: Warren fifty five hundred, Khalil Herbert fifty four hundred, Clyde

1260
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 2: Edwards Laire fifty three hundred, Antonio Gibson fifty two hundred,

1261
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 2: Zamir White is fifty one. If you knew he was gonna.

1262
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 3: Play, right, I mean they feed one back.

1263
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kenneth Gainwell is fifty one hundred. Deontay Foreman is

1264
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 2: five thousand, Zach Moss is out. That's it.

1265
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:14,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why leonsworos Taylor earlier.

1266
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hm, I don't see any cheap ones here.

1267
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 3: That someone stood out to me were Taylor.

1268
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 2: Now?

1269
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 3: Ty J.

1270
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 2: Spears once again is forty seven hundred, Like, why does

1271
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 2: he continue to be so cheap?

1272
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 3: He's good. I don't think problem throwing him in there,

1273
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 3: and then we could go for a real big then

1274
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 3: we could go big items.

1275
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he could almost go McCaffrey at that point and

1276
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 2: see what that looks like. So you have forty seven

1277
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 2: hundred there, because you know you're still only spending an

1278
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 2: average about seven thousand.

1279
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 3: So we've went cheap one all three so far.

1280
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Or you could go Kyran Williams against the Giants

1281
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 2: and save yourself thirteen hundred.

1282
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 3: Bucks compared to McAffrey.

1283
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1284
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 3: Should he be the most second most expensive back catches

1285
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 3: the ball, he gets.

1286
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 2: All that touches, and you think they're gonna win that game?

1287
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 3: Yes, I do. I'm fine with it.

1288
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Giants are twenty first against opposing running backs.

1289
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 2: I bet that's been worse since they.

1290
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 3: Got That's not good. Yeah, I mean they don't scare me.

1291
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean when you if you do it

1292
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 2: that way, you're still only spending an average of sixty

1293
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 2: five hundred on your two running backs.

1294
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 3: Okay, so we have enough to spe quite a bit

1295
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 3: to spend.

1296
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 2: We still have twenty three seven to spend on four spots,

1297
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 2: so just under six thousand.

1298
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 3: Receiver world looks like, okay, let's do that.

1299
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 2: Tyreek is ninety three hundred.

1300
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm willing to do that. No, especially

1301
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 3: with we're playing the defense against A. J.

1302
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 2: Brown is eighty six hundred. Stephan Diggs is eighty two hundred.

1303
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 3: He doesn't score fantasy points anymore.

1304
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 2: No, Cooper Cup is eighty one hundred.

1305
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 3: I think the Coup is out.

1306
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 2: Pooka is questionable.

1307
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I got ruled out today.

1308
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 2: He's seventy nine hundred. Mike Evans is seventy eight hundred,

1309
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: so bad. Remember the Latimore's out? Oh is he out? Yeah? Yeah,

1310
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 2: I say, okay, yeah, Keenan Allen's out, Jaylen waddles out.

1311
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel seventy seven hundred. He's questioned, right, he is questionable.

1312
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 3: I'd be interested in ayuk Oh yeah, yeah.

1313
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 2: We mention that there for much cheaper.

1314
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:09,439
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, jam goes straight there.

1315
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase is seventy six hundred. Michael Pittman seventy five hundred,

1316
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 2: also not bad. Devonte Adams is seventy four hundred. DeVante

1317
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 2: Smith is.

1318
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 3: Seventy three pass in the last three quarters.

1319
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, Nico Collins seventy two hundred.

1320
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 3: That's not bad either.

1321
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf seventy one hundred. Ayuku is seven thousand.

1322
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 3: I think that's a yes.

1323
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta plug that one in.

1324
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, even Tibo plays you're not upset about it, right,

1325
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 3: you know.

1326
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 2: Rashid Rice is sixty nine hundred.

1327
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 3: That has to be a pretty good matchup.

1328
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 2: Chris, it's twenty first. They're twenty first against opposing receivers.

1329
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 2: Chris o Lave sixty eight hundred, Calvin Ridley sixty seven hundred,

1330
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 2: DJ Moore sixty six hundred. They're third against opposing wide receivers.

1331
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 3: I haven't bet Terrell follows him, but that's not the

1332
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 3: end of the world.

1333
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 2: T Higgins is twenty five or sixty five hundred. I'm sorry.

1334
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 2: Courtland Sutton sixty four hundred. He's questionable. Chris Goblin is

1335
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 2: sixty one hundred. DeAndre Hopkins against Houston Little Revenge game

1336
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 2: is six thousand.

1337
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 3: Levis rose them a lot.

1338
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Thelen is fifty nine hundred.

1339
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 3: He's really quieted down right.

1340
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Tyler Lockett is fifty seven hundred. Zay Flowers and

1341
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 2: fifty six hundred, but he's questionable. Gabe Davis fifty five hundred,

1342
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 2: scary Terry McLaurin fifty five hundred.

1343
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 3: All right, I got a suggestion we should have brought

1344
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 3: this up right when we went to receivers. I think

1345
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 3: smith na Jigba catches six to eight balls against the Steelers.

1346
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 2: Okay, he is, he's forty eight hundred.

1347
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 3: If we plug him in, I would imagine we I mean,

1348
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 3: that could change how we spend on the other It

1349
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 3: gets us.

1350
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 2: Back up to being able to average fifty nine to

1351
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 2: fifty on the final two spots.

1352
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 3: Okay, did you like any of the real not real prices,

1353
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 3: but like Mike Evans neighborhood, Well, do you.

1354
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:57,439
Speaker 2: Think this is a Deontay Johnson game? Yes, because he's

1355
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 2: five thousand, okay, which would give us a pretty good

1356
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 2: penny to spend on our flex Yeah, or we could

1357
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 2: pay up for that tight end spot. If we don't

1358
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 2: use the money.

1359
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 3: Then what's crazy about Deonta is he has not been

1360
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 3: producding catches and yards he scored, but he's been scoring,

1361
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 3: which is a total opposite.

1362
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 2: Of like this is a big cover three team.

1363
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and I'm fine with it. I got

1364
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 3: no qualms at all about that.

1365
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 2: I mean, he certainly you know the other guys down

1366
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 2: in this range that you look at, Noah Brown, Jerry Judy,

1367
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 2: Drake London, Deontay Johnson shouldn't be down.

1368
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 3: In that range.

1369
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 2: Drake London.

1370
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 3: London's a bad price pick up either.

1371
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 2: So we get two receivers if we think it's going

1372
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 2: to be a higher scoring game in Seattle, which I

1373
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 2: kind of tend to think is going to be in

1374
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 2: the twenties.

1375
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 3: I think I've both team scoring in the twenties.

1376
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so somebody to score touchdowns. That leaves us in

1377
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 2: sixty nine hundred to spend on the flex and that

1378
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 2: would get us for she Rice, that would get us

1379
01:02:54,520 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, Pacheco, Chris Olave a chance, Calvin Ridley,

1380
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 2: Eklar Uh, Bjean Robinson, DJ Moore, T Higgins, DeAndre Swift

1381
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 2: kind of like Swift.

1382
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could probably upgrade somewhere. I'm gonna leave us

1383
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 3: a couple.

1384
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 2: That would leave us with four hundred left over. I

1385
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:18,919
Speaker 2: don't know if that gets us up very much from

1386
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 2: Gerald Everett.

1387
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 3: But not the way we really wanted to be.

1388
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 2: I get that would get us Friar Mooth. I don't

1389
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 2: want to go there.

1390
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, or no, how about defenses.

1391
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if that gets as high enough that

1392
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 2: would get us the Titans, the Colts, the Falcons, the

1393
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 2: Saints to Texas.

1394
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 3: Not I didn't love that neighborhood. I'd go with the Baltimore.

1395
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 3: With Baltimore there.

1396
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 2: Maybe upgrade from ty J. Spears.

1397
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 3: Let's look, there were some backs that I thought were that.

1398
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 2: Would get us a mere white boy if we knew.

1399
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 3: You want to put him in and just make the switch.

1400
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 2: If we find out that, yea, yeah, if we find out, yeah,

1401
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 2: that's not bad at all.

1402
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think Jacobs has a lot of

1403
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 3: incentive to come back and there the hunt, but they

1404
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 3: may want to take a.

1405
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 2: Good long look at Zamir White too. Is there feature

1406
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 2: back for next year? Potent?

1407
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 3: Let's stick with it and remember, yeah, like if Jacobs

1408
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 3: is playing.

1409
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 2: Well, so yeah, if Jacobs is going to play, we'll

1410
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 2: pivot off a Zamir White and go back to Spears

1411
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 2: Spears or something along those lines.

1412
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 3: The other guys, here's the other ones that they're about

1413
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 3: the same price it.

1414
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 2: Was he fifty one hundred. You're looking at Foreman Nause Harris,

1415
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 2: which I don't hate that.

1416
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 3: I don't hate that either. Yeah, I mean I think

1417
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 3: I'd rather have nausey than spears.

1418
01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:31,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna get more touches.

1419
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:37,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Zamir White, if Jacobs is active, go to nausey. Yeah,

1420
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 3: and on Saturday or Sunday. Yeah, okay, all right.

1421
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 2: So that gets us then Rock Party at seven thousand

1422
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 2: dollars against Washington against Washington, Zamir White at fifty one hundred,

1423
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 2: Kyraum Williams at eighty three hundred, Brandon Ayuk at seven thousand,

1424
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 2: to stack with Rock Party, Jackson Smith and Jigba at

1425
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 2: forty eight hundred, Deontay Johnson at five thousand, Gerald Ever

1426
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 2: at thirty five hundred, DeAndre Swift in the Flex at

1427
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 2: sixty five hundred, and the Ravens Defense at twenty eight hundred.

1428
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 3: With the Josh Jacobs caveat. But here's what, Now, here's

1429
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 3: one thing we could do. Thinking about that, I have

1430
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 3: another caveat to throw at you too.

1431
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 2: If we put Zamir White into Flex and made DeAndre

1432
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 2: Swift the running back, then we might get some receivers

1433
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 2: there that we might like.

1434
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 3: Do that. Yeah, I mean, it just gives us more flexibility.

1435
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we always want to do that.

1436
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

1437
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so running back, we want to put DeAndre Swift

1438
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 2: in at running back? Where's he at? Was he sixty five?

1439
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 3: So maybe we wouldn't pivot to that.

1440
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 2: Might give us a better option than Nauji Harris sir. Yeah,

1441
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 2: So then the flex options would.

1442
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 3: Be maybe if somebody we be like, go better already.

1443
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 2: Noah Brown, Zamir White, Kenneth Game, while Jerry Judy Deontay,

1444
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 2: former Drake London, Najie Harris, Dalton Kincaid.

1445
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 3: I would hate London.

1446
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:01,360
Speaker 2: What's he done? Last week it was three for forty nine.

1447
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 3: It's just that whole team so inconsistent.

1448
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 2: The week before that it was two for twenty four.

1449
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 3: Must have been the week before.

1450
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 2: Ten for two, like just it's riding the roller coaster.

1451
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 2: A week before that week thirteen one for eight, Like.

1452
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 3: Come on, man, well let's put what Zamir White in?

1453
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1454
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 3: And I'm fine making him a nausey if.

1455
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, at least we had some other options there.

1456
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 3: Here's the one caveat though, I want to throw we

1457
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 3: talked about earlier in the show. I bet Metcalf plays,

1458
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 3: but if he doesn't, is Smith and the jigba more

1459
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 3: or less attractive because of the Porter factor.

1460
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 2: He's gonna get more more targets, but he might get

1461
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,440
Speaker 2: more Porter. I don't know if Porter was following necessarily.

1462
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 3: That I know. I have no clue, Like.

1463
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 2: Where do they play Jake Bobo? Is Bobo play on

1464
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 2: the outside and they keep Smith and jig Ben the slot?

1465
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean they do play a lot

1466
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 3: of thirteen, They're play more of that. Yeah, I don't know,

1467
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 3: right right right, I'm fine with Smith and jig Bin

1468
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 3: then to leave him and yeah, that's fine.

1469
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 2: So we as Zamir and White now in the flex

1470
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 2: with the Ravens defense is our final. So it's Perdy Swift,

1471
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 2: Kyron Williams, Ayuk Smith and Jigba, Deontay Johnson, Gerald Everett,

1472
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 2: sa Mere White in the Ravens defense. Fine with it,

1473
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 2: walking it.

1474
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,800
Speaker 3: In yepp yep. If Jacob's plays, let's pivot.

1475
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, that is our DFS lineup for Sunday's games.

1476
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,760

1499
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 2: of important ones. Yeah, and some of this is playoff

1500
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 2: positioning and things of that nature. Starts off on Saturday,

1501
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 2: real good one with a real good game. You got.

1502
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 1: This is.

1503
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 2: Maybe the Miami Baltimore I think is going to be

1504
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 2: a good game.

1505
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

1506
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 2: I think this one might be the best game of

1507
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 2: the weekend.

1508
01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 3: I tend to think so too, especially in Dallas. Yeah, yeah,

1509
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 3: you much better at home.

1510
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 2: You got the eleven and four Lions at the ten

1511
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 2: and five Cowboys. It's an eight to fifteen start on Saturday.

1512
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 2: Dallas favored by five and a half, which kind of

1513
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,759
Speaker 2: gives you a tip there on how well Dallas plays

1514
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 2: at home.

1515
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 3: And road Lions do and all that. But it's not

1516
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 3: like it's weather or an outdoor type game.

1517
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 2: The over unders fifty two and a half. And for

1518
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 2: Dallas if they want to actually host a playoff game,

1519
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 2: they got to win this game.

1520
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 3: This is big for them, right. Does it mean much

1521
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:30,560
Speaker 3: for the Lions.

1522
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 2: In terms of where you know their seating is at

1523
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 2: their division? They've won their division, but they could still

1524
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 2: be the two seed.

1525
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 3: Okay, interesting, So I heard when I saw this line

1526
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 3: for the first time, like, boy, that's too much. I mean,

1527
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 3: I think Detroit in a vacuum is better than Dallas.

1528
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 3: But I also was listening to a betting podcast and

1529
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 3: they were saying one of their favorite bets is always

1530
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 3: the week after you get the shirts and hats. You know,

1531
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 3: everyone's celebrating and we won the division, especially for a

1532
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,600
Speaker 3: team that hasn't done it for exactly exactly, Like, do

1533
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,680
Speaker 3: you bet against Cleveland next week? You know, because they

1534
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 3: kind of won their super Bowl in away. It's not

1535
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 3: they did something they.

1536
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 2: Don't really always always always do that with Cleveland, but

1537
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 2: they they win a big game.

1538
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Detroit is not exactly the winning this organization,

1539
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,840
Speaker 3: we know. I just still think they're a lot better

1540
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 3: than Dallas. Not a lot, but I think they can.

1541
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:29,799
Speaker 3: Dallas's run defense is bad, especially against big bully type teams.

1542
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:31,719
Speaker 3: I'll take the points for sure.

1543
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Cowboys are seven and zero at home, they're

1544
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:38,600
Speaker 2: seven and one overall. Indoors. The Lions are seven and

1545
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 2: two indoors say.

1546
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 3: They probably not a bunch of different Yeah.

1547
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, So neither one of these teams wants to go

1548
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:45,440
Speaker 2: out and play any elements in the playoffs.

1549
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 3: True, true, but at.

1550
01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:49,679
Speaker 2: Some point you're going to have to do that. I'm

1551
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 2: with you. I'll take I'll take five and a half

1552
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 2: with two good teams playing each other.

1553
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, well Dallas D's playing too, I mean yeah.

1554
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 2: I think that's an over game. Two. It's a big number,

1555
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 2: fifty two and a half, huge number in today's NFL.

1556
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 2: Still that game could be played, that could be in

1557
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:04,799
Speaker 2: the thirties.

1558
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would consider I mean, I'll play

1559
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 3: everybody in Fantasy yeah, which we just that game. That

1560
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 3: game was, Yeah, yeah, that would been I think it was, like, boy,

1561
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 3: we could do a single game that would do a fun,

1562
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 3: fun singo from Yeah, wow, that would be fun.

1563
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 2: Uh, kicking things off on the shot of that earlier,

1564
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 2: that'd be a real fun one.

1565
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 3: To gold one, I mean just bloom, I mean gibbs

1566
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 3: him fall.

1567
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 2: There's multiple running backs, there's receivers, no defenses, right, both

1568
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 2: quarterbacks were being played.

1569
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's lots of pick from there.

1570
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 2: Uh. You got the one o'clock On Sunday, the four

1571
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 2: and eleven Patriots are at the nine and six Bills.

1572
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 2: Buffalo favored by thirteen. The over under, however, is just

1573
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 2: forty and a half.

1574
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 3: I know the number is the only thing that scares me.

1575
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,680
Speaker 2: Twenty nine to twenty five game in New England.

1576
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 3: That was real early in the season.

1577
01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 2: Not real.

1578
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 3: I was middle of the middle of the season. Yeah,

1579
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 3: and we mentioned this fantasy segment. Diggs isn't doing anything anymore,

1580
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 3: and part of it is because they run the ball,

1581
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 3: their formula has changed since the coordinator change. And will

1582
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 3: they win against the Belichick defense by two touchdowns? I

1583
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 3: might take my chances on the points.

1584
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 2: It's a lot. It's a lot of pres a lot

1585
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 2: of points in a game where you don't think there's

1586
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of scoring.

1587
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 3: I don't think it'll be a lot of scoring by

1588
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 3: the Patriots.

1589
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 2: So that's the problem.

1590
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,559
Speaker 3: Zeke is questionable, Romandre's out. Yeah, who's touching the ball

1591
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:29,599
Speaker 3: for the Pats? Yuck?

1592
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:32,759
Speaker 2: Bill. Belichick has never lost twelve games in a season

1593
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,679
Speaker 2: as head coach. If they lose this one.

1594
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 3: That's that's Twell, that's twelve. I don't think they're running

1595
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 3: the table.

1596
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1597
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 3: I don't know who they played next week. I don't

1598
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 3: really care. There must be the Jets.

1599
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go with h The Bills are oh and

1600
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 2: seven against the spread in their past seven games. Is

1601
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 2: double digit favorites, including in the playoffs.

1602
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 3: Really they were double digit favorite in the playoffs.

1603
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,680
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they're oh and three against the spread this

1604
01:12:57,720 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 2: season when they're in double digit favorite.

1605
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 3: I'm having a hard time this one. I'm switching back

1606
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 3: to the Bills. I just don't know where the points

1607
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 3: come from with the Patriots. I mean, DeVante Park are

1608
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:08,799
Speaker 3: going to beat you. And Bailey Zappi and Hunter Henry,

1609
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:10,839
Speaker 3: I mean their skill guys are horrendous.

1610
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kind of lean there too. I just don't

1611
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 2: think the Patriots. I mean, the Patriots have played better

1612
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 2: in recent weeks.

1613
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 3: They have. I mean, I don't think they're a pushover.

1614
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:22,559
Speaker 3: It's just where the points come from. In Buffalo. I

1615
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 3: mean I wouldn't touch this game. No, that's a big number.

1616
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:26,640
Speaker 3: It's probably the right number. Uh.

1617
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 2: You have the seven and eight Falcons at the six

1618
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 2: and nine Bears. That's a one o'clock games Chicago favored

1619
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 2: by three, the over under thirty seven and a half.

1620
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 3: I just want to points in this game. Two defenses

1621
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,679
Speaker 3: that are playing much better than they've given credit for.

1622
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,960
Speaker 3: I think it's a low scoring a lot of running

1623
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 3: games over quick, a lot of bejeon a lot of fields.

1624
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 3: Will it be a lot of I just think it'll

1625
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 3: be a lot of running.

1626
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:57,759
Speaker 2: The last five games, Tyler Algiers average ten point four touches.

1627
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they just I don't wins, but I'll take points.

1628
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I think the Bears win.

1629
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:04,000
Speaker 3: I think they're better.

1630
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 2: I think they're the better team right now as currently constant.

1631
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 2: I don't trust the Falcons at all.

1632
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 3: Boy, Falcons could use fields.

1633
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 2: You got the seven and eight Raiders at the eight

1634
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 2: and seven Colts Indianapolis favored by three and a half.

1635
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 2: Give me the points with points too. The Raiders are

1636
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 2: playing well.

1637
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 3: Their defense is playing great.

1638
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 2: It's un like they're over the last four weeks or so.

1639
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 2: They're like a top five defense.

1640
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:29,680
Speaker 3: They are absolutely I do think Pittman coming back is

1641
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 3: very important to them. But I will take the extra

1642
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:33,760
Speaker 3: half there too.

1643
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1644
01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 3: I don't see either team winning by a lot.

1645
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 2: I mean Max Crosby's going to get after.

1646
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 3: It in Dome. Yeah, yeah, I'll go. No, I like points.

1647
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 2: I'll take points there. You got the eight and seven

1648
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,240
Speaker 2: Rams at the five and ten Giants. The Rams favored

1649
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 2: by five and a half. The over unders forty four

1650
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 2: and a half. Tyrod Taylor in a quarterback for the Giants.

1651
01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 3: Which I think matters.

1652
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:00,799
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's the legitimate the NFL QUARTERBA.

1653
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 3: He makes them harder to play against. I mean, I'll

1654
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 3: still take the Rams though I know it's a one

1655
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 3: o'clock start on the road. I just think the Rams

1656
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 3: are noticeably better team. I thought that number would be higher.

1657
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm with you there again, Weather in

1658
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 2: the East Coast, I don't know.

1659
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't love the one o'clock start thing either.

1660
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 2: No, you got the three and twelve Cardinals at the

1661
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 2: eleven to four Eagles, Philadelphia favored by eleven, the over

1662
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 2: runners forty eight and a half, another big number.

1663
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. I went back and forth on this one a

1664
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 3: bunch too. I mean, markis Brown's out, but I still

1665
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:38,679
Speaker 3: think they'll move the ball and McBride and I strongly

1666
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 3: consider McBride for DFS and Kyler's playing well enough. But

1667
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 3: is this we'll get to the Chiefs too. We were

1668
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 3: talking about this on my podcast today, that this could

1669
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 3: be the week where we get together on Tuesday since

1670
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 3: New Yr's Day and be like, oh, that's the Eagles

1671
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 3: and Chiefs I remember, you know, like leading into the

1672
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 3: playoffs against some bad defenses. I think Arizona's D is

1673
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 3: really bad and CD is really bad. But that's a

1674
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 3: big number. I'll take the Eagles.

1675
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:06,679
Speaker 2: How about this. The Eagles are zero to eight against

1676
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 2: the spread in their past seven December games. Really December

1677
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:11,559
Speaker 2: or later, I should say.

1678
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:13,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I wonder if that's a trend. I mean of

1679
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 3: wearing down because they don't look good lately, that's for sure.

1680
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 3: I just don't like Arizona's defense.

1681
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 2: No, I don't either. I'll take the I'll take the Eagles.

1682
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 2: Eleven's not like thirteen.

1683
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, two touchdowns doesn't seem crazy.

1684
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:28,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got the seven and eight Saints at the

1685
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 2: eight and seven Buccaneers. I think if Bucks win this,

1686
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 2: when they clinch the division, right.

1687
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure?

1688
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1689
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's under cent srure.

1690
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay favor by two and a half and the

1691
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 2: over under is forty two and a half.

1692
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,040
Speaker 3: I like the Bucks. I think they're in a better place.

1693
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 3: I might like their quarterback better. I don't think the

1694
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 3: Bucks are.

1695
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 2: The Saints don't do anything for me.

1696
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:54,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just can't get behind the coach quarterback. It

1697
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,839
Speaker 3: just seems like they're spinning their wheels like crazy.

1698
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, you got one o'clock the eleven and four

1699
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 2: forty nine ers at the four and eleven Commanders, San

1700
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 2: Francisco favored by twelve and a half. The over unders

1701
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:11,680
Speaker 2: forty nine and a half. To me, it's crazy. The

1702
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 2: Buffalo is favored over New England by more points than

1703
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 2: this week too, that could be that could be twenty

1704
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 2: points and I'm taking the forty nine ers.

1705
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we just took party for DFS.

1706
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1707
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 3: We think they're gonna get steamrolled, and I feel very

1708
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 3: confident about it. Yeah, especially at per set, it's not

1709
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 3: going to go. I mean, yeah, how many sacks is

1710
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 3: how it's gonna take.

1711
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I just think that's utter destruction.

1712
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Washington has cashed it in.

1713
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 2: Also, at one o'clock, you've got the two and thirteen

1714
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 2: Panthers at the eight and seven Jaguars Jacksonville favored by

1715
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,679
Speaker 2: six and a half. The over under is thirty seven

1716
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 2: and a half. Give me the visitors in the me too.

1717
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 3: I think they could win. Yeah, I think I think

1718
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 3: they can win, and they're gonna get six and a half.

1719
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 3: I'll take the points for sure. Yeah, their defense is

1720
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 3: playing better. I don't expect Lawrence to play at all.

1721
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 3: Young showing signs of life. Yeah, I mean it's not

1722
01:17:58,920 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 3: great be showing signs of.

1723
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 2: Life, and Jacksonville's defense is Leacan Oil bayc and they're

1724
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 2: not running the ball like they were earlier and not

1725
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 2: even close. I mean it's yeah, they got a probable.

1726
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 3: I think that should be like a two and a

1727
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 3: half game.

1728
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 2: I mean, you got a team that's lost four in

1729
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 2: a row, favored by almost a touchdown.

1730
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't see it. That shouldn't happen without their quarterback. Yeah,

1731
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 3: they've lost with their quarterback, right.

1732
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, one o'clock, the big one, the eleven and four

1733
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 2: Dolphins at the twelve and three Ravens. I'm kind of

1734
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 2: surprised that game didn't get bumped.

1735
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 3: To Yeah, why is that a one? Uh?

1736
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 2: Baltimore favored by three. The over under is forty six

1737
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 2: and a half. I will take the Ravens and I

1738
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 2: might go under on that too.

1739
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 3: We did take the d.

1740
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to be a super high

1741
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 2: scoring game.

1742
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 3: I mean, think the weather. If there's weather, I think

1743
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:54,759
Speaker 3: that definitely favored Baltimore.

1744
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to run the ball.

1745
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm surprised that's not like six and a half. Seven.

1746
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:01,720
Speaker 3: It seems like a.

1747
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 2: Loon everybody seems to be well, you know, Baltimore just

1748
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 2: played in San Francisco on on Christmas Day and now

1749
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 2: they gotta come home.

1750
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:11,679
Speaker 3: Okay, they can handle it. Yeah, I mean, but Harbor

1751
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 3: has never done these.

1752
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 2: Miami's got a little more rest because they played, you know, earlier.

1753
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 2: That's fine.

1754
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 3: I like both these a lot.

1755
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 2: I do.

1756
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 3: I do like the under yeah, but I think I

1757
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 3: don't think that's enough point for me. I like the Ravens.

1758
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 2: No, I do too.

1759
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 3: I think that, uh, I think they're a tier better

1760
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 3: than the Dolphins too.

1761
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,720
Speaker 2: The Dolphins have failed to cover three straight games as

1762
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 2: an underdog, as well as three straight road games as

1763
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 2: an underdog. Yeah, I mean, I.

1764
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 3: Mean, they're just not scoring immense points.

1765
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:46,639
Speaker 2: It's gonna come down to physicality in this one and Ravens.

1766
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 2: The Ravens are the much more physical teams. You want

1767
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 2: to Ravens, you gotta you're gonna match their physicality.

1768
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that.

1769
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 2: I don't think baldwins. I don't think Dolphins can do it.

1770
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't think to a handles that great. No,

1771
01:19:58,680 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 3: he's gonna get.

1772
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 2: Hit another big one o'clock game, A lot of one

1773
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 2: o'clock games. This week, you get the five and ten

1774
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 2: Titans at the eight and seven Texans, Houston favored by

1775
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 2: five and a half, the over unders forty three and

1776
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 2: a half.

1777
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 3: Levis versus Shroud. I think I'll take the Points of

1778
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 3: Division game bet on vrabel a little bit there.

1779
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I will too. Noah Brown being banged

1780
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:23,679
Speaker 2: up takes another weapon out of the equation. You already

1781
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 2: know that they're playing without Tanked Dell.

1782
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think he goes back to Okay, but

1783
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 3: they are a little light on weaponry.

1784
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1785
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what Simmons' story is. I think he's

1786
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 3: not out for the years.

1787
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 2: He's about due to come back.

1788
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 3: I think because he didn't put him on IR and

1789
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 3: he was two games.

1790
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:43,760
Speaker 2: Moving on to the four o'clock hour, here, you got

1791
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 2: the five and ten Chargers at the seven and eight Broncos.

1792
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 2: That's a four to twenty five start, Denver favor by

1793
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 2: three and a half, the over under just thirty six

1794
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 2: and a half.

1795
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 3: Stick them and stick yuck good thing.

1796
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,519
Speaker 2: At games on During the Steelers game, Yes, you won't

1797
01:20:58,520 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 2: have to watch it.

1798
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 3: I mean you're not getting Keenan. You might not get Sutton.

1799
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 2: I guess the ten wins.

1800
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 3: Did you say it was three and a half?

1801
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:07,759
Speaker 2: Three and a half?

1802
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 3: I was hoping to be two and a half. Yeah,

1803
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 3: I mean I don't feel great about it. I guess

1804
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 3: I'll take the points.

1805
01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take Denver at least did them, has started

1806
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 2: more games in the league and is a little more

1807
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:22,600
Speaker 2: they guess. They still have Javonte Williams, they still have

1808
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:25,559
Speaker 2: good off good not great offensive line.

1809
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 3: But that's why I wish it was two and a half.

1810
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 3: I don't love it three and a half. I'll go

1811
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:31,639
Speaker 3: with you. I don't. I don't want to think much

1812
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 3: more about.

1813
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 2: That big game at four to twenty five. This is

1814
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 2: why they didn't move the game. They thought this one

1815
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:37,639
Speaker 2: was going to be bigger than it is.

1816
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

1817
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 2: You have the eight and seven Bengals at the nine

1818
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 2: and six Chiefs, Kansas City favored by seven. The over

1819
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 2: under is forty four and a half. I'll take the

1820
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 2: Bengals to cover. Give me a full touchdown.

1821
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 3: But Jamar Chase coming back.

1822
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1823
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 3: The thing about the Chiefs that no one's talking about

1824
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 3: is that they'll score well. The defense has kind of

1825
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 3: come back to earth too. Yeah, and it hasn't been

1826
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 3: carrying the team and they're on the field more than

1827
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 3: they're used to. Who I really dislike the Bengals defense.

1828
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:09,080
Speaker 2: Though, how much is the number seven?

1829
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 3: I'll take Casey.

1830
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:13,639
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are ten and eighteen against the spread.

1831
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 3: Oh, it doesn't surprise in their.

1832
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,679
Speaker 2: Past twenty eight games when laying at least a touchdown.

1833
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 3: If people think they're better than they are, they don't.

1834
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:22,559
Speaker 3: They don'tbody like that, and they haven't since Tyrek.

1835
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 1: No.

1836
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 3: I think there's a little bit of a blueprint on

1837
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 3: Browning though too.

1838
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:31,840
Speaker 2: That's fine. I'll take the point, so I might take Casey.

1839
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 2: I'll take the points. You got the Packers at seven

1840
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 2: and eight. This is the night game, the Packers at

1841
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:41,480
Speaker 2: seven and eight at the Vikings seven and eight. Boy,

1842
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:44,559
Speaker 2: I know, yuck. Minnesota favored by a point. The over

1843
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 2: under is forty four and a half.

1844
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 3: So they're going to Hall. Yeah, they're on their fourth quarterback.

1845
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 3: Only one of them stood to injury though, I mean

1846
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:54,960
Speaker 3: Cousins is the only reason that they just keep.

1847
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:57,599
Speaker 2: Well, they initially moved away from Hall because he got hurt.

1848
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 3: That's why they traded for Dogs. Yeah, but still, I

1849
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 3: mean they've chose not to play Hall the last couple

1850
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 3: of weeks on purpose. I think the Packers their d

1851
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 3: has been so bad though. Yeah, no, Hawkinson, it's not

1852
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 3: a great game.

1853
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:15,479
Speaker 2: It's not a great game at all. The Vikings are

1854
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 2: one and eight when they lose the turnover battle this season,

1855
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:20,400
Speaker 2: the most in the league, and they lose.

1856
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 3: And they turn them all over a ton since cousin.

1857
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 2: They're six and zero when they don't lose the turnover battle.

1858
01:23:24,760 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 2: Trusting Darren Hall to Jaron Hall.

1859
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 3: Not trusting Leve a lot more than I trust Hall. Yeah,

1860
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 3: is that a loser LEAs match? Yeah, in Minnesota, I'm

1861
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:35,639
Speaker 3: sure they'll be wound up.

1862
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 2: But I think it's a big rivalry game up the Packers. Yes,

1863
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 2: and that is it. There's no Monday night games.

1864
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:43,240
Speaker 3: We've got college playoffs.

1865
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so interesting slate of games.

1866
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 3: And we won't be here Mondays.

1867
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 2: We will not be do a show on Monday. I'll

1868
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 2: still be traveling back from Seattle.

1869
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 3: So I'll definitely be watching those college games.

01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:29,600
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Drive. I am Dale Lolly, he

1882
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 2: is the Matt Williamson and Matt is now time for

1883
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 2: us to pick the game at hand. Here you get

1884
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,880
Speaker 2: the eight and seven Steelers at the eight and seven

1885
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 2: Seahawks four five. That's a Fox game this week. Seattle

1886
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 2: favored by three and a half. In this game, the

1887
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 2: over under is forty one and a half. What do

1888
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 2: you got go first?

1889
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 3: For me to do it? You go ahead, all right.

1890
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 3: I have Seattle winning twenty seven to twenty three. I

1891
01:24:56,960 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 3: see a lot of passes Steelers can win. Though. Was

1892
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:04,679
Speaker 3: here I would take the Steelers. I don't think Mason

1893
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 3: Rudolph is the reason they lose. I expect him to

1894
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:09,599
Speaker 3: play well. I think the Steelers will run the ball well.

1895
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 3: I could see Watt being the player of the game,

1896
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:16,320
Speaker 3: you know, and take this thing over or block punts.

1897
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,679
Speaker 3: I went back and forth with the score in the end,

1898
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 3: I think they don't know need to rain on Steelers

1899
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 3: parade after that Bengals game. But if it's Burrow Chase,

1900
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 3: I think they exploit the back seven and the Steelers

1901
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 3: d much more than we saw. And I'm not saying

1902
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 3: Geno's Burrow by any stretch. And I did this prediction

1903
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 3: thinking DK was definitely playing too. That was news to me,

1904
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:46,639
Speaker 3: So I don't feel great about it. But I think

1905
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 3: Gino in the end has a lot of yardage, you know,

1906
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 3: And that's why I wanted Smith and Jig. But in

1907
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 3: our lineup, and I think that the linebacker safety corners

1908
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:58,839
Speaker 3: not named Porter or hard for me to trust.

1909
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 2: Hear you, Andy, The history in that building is real.

1910
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

1911
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 2: You know, the Seahawks are a good home team for

1912
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 2: a reason. Sure, you know one guy who I think

1913
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:13,759
Speaker 2: could you know? You mentioned what I think, Cam Hayward

1914
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 2: has a massive inside as well.

1915
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:20,879
Speaker 3: All the whole d line I think could really flourish.

1916
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they could really get after this, the Seahawks in

1917
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,760
Speaker 2: this game, and they better. If the Steelers are going

1918
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 2: to win this game, they have to win, and they

1919
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 2: have to win consistent, and they should because Gino is

1920
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 2: a guy that, as we mentioned in his stats earlier

1921
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 2: this week, he likes to hold the ball longer because

1922
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 2: he thinks he's better.

1923
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:41,120
Speaker 3: He likes to go downfield. Yeah, yeah, he does. Yeah.

1924
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 2: If you're gonna you're gonna hold the football against this team, uh,

1925
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 2: you're gonna. He's gonna turn the football over. He's gonna

1926
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:47,799
Speaker 2: get hit.

1927
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:51,080
Speaker 3: Before you say your score. If Walker and or Metcalf

1928
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 3: don't play, that might be enough for me to go

1929
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 3: the other direction. I mean, I'm really on the fence here,

1930
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 3: but I do expect points.

1931
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,000
Speaker 2: I expect points as well. And you know, I think

1932
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 2: I think, you know, the Steelers need to hate and

1933
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,480
Speaker 2: they need to run the ball and run the ball effectively.

1934
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 2: In the last three games, the Seahawks have given up

1935
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:10,879
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy one yards per game on average.

1936
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 2: Brutal Steelers get to that. They got a good chance

1937
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 2: for this football game, without question, and they're capable of

1938
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 2: doing that.

1939
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 3: I think. So. I'm sure that's the game plan.

1940
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, go in there and run the football. Mason Rudolph

1941
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 2: doesn't have to be superman in this game. Just don't

1942
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 2: turn the football over.

1943
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 3: I'm sure he knows that. Yeah.

1944
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know. To me, I'm with you. I

1945
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 2: don't think he's a reason why they you know, if

1946
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 2: they if they do lose this game, I don't think

1947
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 2: people are gonna look at and go, well, Mason Ruolf

1948
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,000
Speaker 2: was who we thought he was at halftime.

1949
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 3: It came, you know, because he was so bad. I

1950
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 3: don't think that's who he is.

1951
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 2: No, I don't think it is either. But I'm with you.

1952
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 2: I have the Seahawks winning this one a little closer

1953
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty three.

1954
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, I mean I think the game's in

1955
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 3: the twenties. Deep down. I said this the other night,

1956
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:56,320
Speaker 3: or I guess was last night. I kind of feel

1957
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:58,439
Speaker 3: like this, you got to get to twenty five to

1958
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 3: win this game, and not quite there with the Steelers offense,

1959
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 3: just as it happened, that happened that that often.

1960
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 2: One thing we haven't talked about is their kicking issue.

1961
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:09,599
Speaker 3: Seattle's kicking. Yeah, yeah, it's not great.

1962
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 2: He's he's making eighty percent of his kicks this year.

1963
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:13,680
Speaker 3: He's making them down to that.

1964
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it comes down to this being a close game,

1965
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:18,560
Speaker 2: the Steelers have an advantage.

1966
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 3: Here without question. I mean, if it comes down to

1967
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:21,640
Speaker 3: one of the kickers win the game for you, you

1968
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 3: know who you want. Have you heard any more weather stuff?

1969
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 2: I empty degrees supposed to be fine? Yeah, thatsost be

1970
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:27,840
Speaker 2: not a bad game at all.

1971
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:30,679
Speaker 3: I wonder if weather would help the Steelers, just because

1972
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:33,800
Speaker 3: I think they're they're on the ball, you know, better

1973
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 3: than the line of scrimmage type of team. But either way,

1974
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 3: it done, it's gonna be an issue either way.

1975
01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 2: No, no, just go on.

1976
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:40,680
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to it. I certainly could see a

1977
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:43,760
Speaker 3: Steelers win Tomlin versus you know, I mean two really

1978
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 3: good coaches that have been around the block. Yeah, I

1979
01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:48,240
Speaker 3: mean I don't give a coaching advantage strongly either way

1980
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 3: or anything like that.

1981
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 2: Do you think the Steelers will be the more physical team.

1982
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 3: I tend to think that as well. I just think

1983
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 3: they are.

1984
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's yeah. I think that's who they

1985
01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:56,519
Speaker 2: are playing in this division.

1986
01:28:56,600 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 3: Yep.

1987
01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1988
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 3: Seattles D line is not a big group of bangers.

1989
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:02,640
Speaker 3: Is their finesse athlete types, and I think that they

1990
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 3: could get pushed around. But I don't want to get

1991
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:06,080
Speaker 3: in third and long against them either.

1992
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:06,479
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1993
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 3: I don't want to get into a passing game in

1994
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:10,719
Speaker 3: this you know. But I do think they'll be points

1995
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 3: either way. I do think the Steelers need to be

1996
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:21,960
Speaker 3: plus one in turnovers, slash missfield goals, slashed block punts,

1997
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Yeah, I don't think. I don't think zero.

1998
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:28,120
Speaker 2: Win in margins. Yeah, you gotta win in the margins

1999
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 2: because their offense is good. It's a good offense, and

2000
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:36,200
Speaker 2: your defense is banged up. I mean that's honestly. You know,

2001
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 2: if make if Fitzpatrick we're back for this game, I'd

2002
01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 2: feel I'd feel one hundred.

2003
01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 3: Even Roberts, I mean, just give me one more right

2004
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 3: and make it will go a long way for me.

2005
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 3: Probably would take the I probably would pick them.

2006
01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:48,280
Speaker 2: At some point. You just reached the tipping point with

2007
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:49,560
Speaker 2: your defensive injuries.

2008
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:52,760
Speaker 3: I mean, can Jack and Row and those guys are

2009
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 3: they did Geoman's work? Can they do it two more times?

2010
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 3: Three more times? I don't know, I don't know my doubts.

2011
01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, and we'll see. I mean, you

2012
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:04,240
Speaker 2: know that's why they play these games. Again. I think

2013
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:07,360
Speaker 2: the Steelers can win this game, yes, I just you know.

2014
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:13,880
Speaker 2: This will be my fourth trip to Seattle over three. Yeah,

2015
01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 2: it's just a tough place to win, and uh, you know,

2016
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:20,360
Speaker 2: seeing some some good Steeler teams go out there and lose.

2017
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:22,639
Speaker 3: What's Seattle's home record this year.

2018
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 2: I think they're four and two right now.

2019
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:26,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I know they lost to San Francisco. Couldn't

2020
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 3: remember lost of San Francisco.

2021
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 2: They lost the.

2022
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:32,759
Speaker 3: Ramsay good teams, good teams, division, teams division often.

2023
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:34,479
Speaker 2: And I think that makes a difference too. I mean

2024
01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:39,680
Speaker 2: the Steelers. You know, the Seahawks beat Cleveland out there

2025
01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:42,519
Speaker 2: now again it was p J. Walker. Yeah, but you

2026
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 2: know they want to Yeah, so we'll see. I think

2027
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:50,600
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a really close game. You know, the

2028
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:53,600
Speaker 2: Steelers can't afford to turn over, they can't afford penalties.

2029
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,599
Speaker 2: They I'm not saying they have to play a perfect game,

2030
01:30:57,320 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 2: but they have to play a pretty pretty have to

2031
01:30:59,200 --> 01:30:59,920
Speaker 2: play a clean game.

2032
01:31:00,439 --> 01:31:02,719
Speaker 3: I mean i'd like to see. I mean even little things.

2033
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:05,120
Speaker 3: Harvin's got to be better, you know, things like that too.

2034
01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 2: You know, you can't give them short fields.

2035
01:31:07,439 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 3: No, I mean that this should not be the game

2036
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 3: that all of a sudden penalties and third downs becomes

2037
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 3: Seattle's friend. You know, that's not them and their friend

2038
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:16,880
Speaker 3: at all lately, you know.

2039
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I get like you said, you know, there's

2040
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 2: gonna be times when maybe you get a false start

2041
01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:23,599
Speaker 2: or something like that in that crowd and he's running

2042
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 2: on a on a silent count. I will say this,

2043
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 2: over the years, the Steelers been pretty good when they've

2044
01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:31,240
Speaker 2: had the run silent count stuff. They don't have to

2045
01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:33,120
Speaker 2: do it a ton because usually when they're on the road,

2046
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 2: it's a lot of steel fans, a lot of Steeler

2047
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,160
Speaker 2: fans there, but the other you know, for whatever reason,

2048
01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 2: it still gets loud. It's just constantly loud.

2049
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2050
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:44,680
Speaker 2: I don't know how many Steeler fans will be at

2051
01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 2: this game.

2052
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:47,439
Speaker 3: As my next question is, I bet it's the worst

2053
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:49,320
Speaker 3: turnout of Steeler fans.

2054
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 2: Well, there weren't many in Cleveland.

2055
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:54,160
Speaker 3: No, maybe I'll say worst turnout of non division games.

2056
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so we'll see. That's again, that's why they

2057
01:31:57,439 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 2: playing forward to it.

2058
01:31:58,520 --> 01:31:58,680
Speaker 3: Great.

2059
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:00,840
Speaker 2: Should be a good game on I'm looking forward to

2060
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:01,280
Speaker 2: it as well.

2061
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 3: Check both those out on the pregame show too.

2062
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll do the pregame show.

2063
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:08,840
Speaker 3: That'll start at noon with Tim.

2064
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:12,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I start at one o'clock here s Yeah, MAT's

2065
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:14,160
Speaker 2: the first hour. On the second hour, then we both

2066
01:32:14,240 --> 01:32:16,799
Speaker 2: joined the regular pregame show back to back.

2067
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 3: Like an hour before kickoff. And I think you're right

2068
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 3: after me on that too.

2069
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, right after you on that one. So we'll break

2070
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 2: down this game some more. Maybe we'll have a little

2071
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:26,639
Speaker 2: more information on some of those injuries.

2072
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, although Seattle injuries to me are a tipping point.

2073
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 3: I mean there's especially Metcalf, but Witherspoon.

2074
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, how many of those guys actually play? How many

2075
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 2: of them are questionable? How many of them game time decisions?

2076
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got a lot of dudes that are worrisome here.

2077
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, and that that could be something that that

2078
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:47,000
Speaker 2: tips this game in the Steelers favor. But as Matt

2079
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, we do not have a show on Monday.

2080
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 2: Enjoy your New Year's Day. Yeah, Happy Happy New Year's

01:32:56,080 --> 01:32:57,479
Speaker 2: Friday to talk about there's.

2083
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 3: A suggestion for you guys. Your new Year's resolution should

2084
01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 3: be more Dale and Matt.

2085
01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:04,840

01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:06,040
Speaker 3: Sure spread the word.

2087
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:07,840

2088
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,120

Speaker 3: Tuesday. It's a long stretch.

2090
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,080
