1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson, home

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome to

Speaker 1: the Drive. I'm Dale Lilly here with Matt Williamson. It's

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: a Friday. It's kind of a welcome to December Friday. Right.

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: This is the way Pittsburgh is feeling right now. We

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: put our Christmas tree up yesterday. I mean it's getting

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 1: a little chili and a little bland and blood. They're so,

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's there's the season. Ho ho ho. Let's

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: go Steelers Ravens Week. Steelers Ravens Week. It's not all

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: about the sunshine and bikinis time. I mean, let's it's

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: certainly there's no sunshine in bikinis when the Steelers get

12
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: together with the Ravens, that's for sure. Who the heck

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: knows what's going on with this game? I mean really don't.

14
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: I wish we had more information, but there's some strange

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: strange going on. Sure, let's start with the Ravens, all right. Um,

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: their practice on this comes from Jeff's rebec who covers

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: them done in the in Baltimore. Not practicing today for

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Friday by the ISA Marlon Humphrey, he's good.

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: He's missed the last two days with an illness. Anthony

20
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: of Rhett, who was limited today with the shoulder and

21
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: ankle injuries. He's that's limited. Tavon Young, their slot corner,

22
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: hasn't practiced all week because of illness. All three of

23
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: these folks are those are the three starters. Jimmy Smith

24
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: didn't practice on Friday. He has sat out the last

25
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: two games and then didn't practice Friday. Yeah, and he'll

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: play some safety corner and one knows that Jimmy Smith

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: is Chris Westry is expected to sit on Sunday with

28
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: a thigh injury. He didn't practice. Also a corner. Also

29
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: another corner, and then Seymour their fifth. Their fifth cornerback

30
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: is On is on the reserve COVID list. It's other

31
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: than that, they're they're all set up at corner. As

32
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: I call up their little depth chart here up their defense,

33
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what's left, to be honest with you,

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: I can't come up with a name at that position.

35
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: I Vrhett and Humphrey are the starters. Jimmy Smith, Anthony Levine, No,

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: he's a free safety. I'm sorry, Tavon Young is the

37
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: other corner, the nickelback and nickelback Chris Westry. They don't

38
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: don't have another corner on the roster. Right on the roster,

39
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: that's all five of them. And fortunately we will see

40
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: roster moves between now and then, or we won't. I'm

41
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: looking here on the practice what do they have on

42
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: the practice? Who could they even get Blake Countess, I'm

43
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: not familiar with his work. Robert Jackson and Kevin Tolliver

44
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: the second Massie Wilkins. So they have four guys on

45
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: the practice squad. But this is from a team that's

46
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: giving up, like as one of the worst past defenses

47
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: in the league, right, I mean before this news, it

48
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: was gonna be a three row game, you know. I

49
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: mean everybody throws against the Ravens. I mean it's the

50
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: highest percentage that passes in the league. They get their

51
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: way when things are good for them, you know, and

52
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: not to mention, they put a lot of stress on

53
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: their corners to begin with. I mean a lot of

54
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: man coverage, a lot of blitz. I mean a little

55
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: less this year because they're not as good there. You know,

56
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: there's no Marcus Peters and um, this is massive news

57
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: even if half those guys are out, I mean, especially Humphrey.

58
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean all those guys besides Humphrey

59
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: are just okay. You know. To begin with him, we

60
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: always talked about favorite is he wears the bull's eye

61
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: at his chest no matter what. And you know, I

62
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: looked it up last night. Though his past defense numbers

63
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: are actually better than Humphries. Now that comes with a

64
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: caveat Humphreys is always traveling with the best, best guy

65
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: and gets less help. Yeah, but if Red has given up,

66
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: they both given I think it's both. They both allowed

67
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: forty two receptions, Humphreys giving up fifteen point three yards

68
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: per catch and if Rhet's like thirteen point one, both

69
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: of which are bad. They both aren't really great numbers.

70
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Humphrey is a really good player, but from

71
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: what I recall at the beginning, the season was really

72
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: rough on him, and he has not been one of

73
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: the best corners in the league this year. This has

74
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: been him because of what they asked him to do.

75
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: I think his job has been harder than ever. And

76
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: he's a guy. What's his injuries? He's an illness illness.

77
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: But again, Tavon Young has been out all week with

78
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: the illness they've been I think I think Clay's Campbell

79
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: had an illness. May maybe he has something if he

80
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: is a concussion concussion okay, but they've missed a lot

81
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: of time with illnesses, non COVID illnesses, you know. Wow.

82
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Um so, I mean maybe this was the plan all along,

83
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: But are you putting Ben in the shotgun and three

84
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: wide and just slinging it all over the field no

85
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: matter what? Four wide even? You know, I mean, do

86
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: you want as many corners on the field no matter what?

87
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: You don't love the protection situation there it, but that's

88
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: whether you're you're putting you're forcing them to play right

89
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: over the question over the place. I mean, even if

90
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: all those guys are cleared, it's not the best group

91
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: of corners I've ever seen. And I'm sure a couple

92
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: of them will be out. And you know, I mean,

93
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: Ben's gonna get the ball quick, right right right, so

94
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: it's it's only going to take a step on it.

95
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: You know, if somebody's playing a little off coverage, you

96
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: get a guy turned around, those kind of things. It's

97
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: all pre snap breeds a quick game, I would imagine,

98
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: you know, or load up once in a a while and

99
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: take some shots too. I wouldn't object to that, I

100
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: thought all along though, it's got to be a Bend

101
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: game man. To be frank, I would rather have an

102
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: opponent that the run defense is a lot weaker than

103
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: their past defense and this, but it's if the weakness

104
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: just got a lot weaker, you know. I mean, I

105
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: trust Bend to pick on practice squad corners, whether it's

106
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: the Washington or Claypool or Miller or Johnson or whomever

107
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: in Fiarmouth, and those guys you're to get stuff you like. Yeah,

108
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm just looking here at there. They haven't put out

109
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: their official again that that news earlier was from Jeff's Reebec.

110
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: They're actually allowed to report what they see a practice.

111
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 1: Everyone has a little different rules. Um, I'm just looking

112
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: down here at the rest of their defense. Now. If

113
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: class Campbell was back as a full participant, yeah, it

114
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: sounds like he's playing. Yeah, um, just looking here. Uh,

115
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen was back as a full participant yesterday. Uh.

116
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: Their front seven is in pretty good shape. It's getting better.

117
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean that's you know, maybe not where

118
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: you want to go against him. But man Oha did

119
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: not practice yesterday with the shoulder injury. Okay, he's been

120
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: pretty good for them. I mean I really like their

121
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: trio of edge pass rushers and Houston's the older guy.

122
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: It's kind of like what the Steelers wanted to have

123
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: with Ingram. I always thought Ingram and Houston were similar

124
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: at their stage of their career and signed like the

125
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: same week, always the up and comer, like a high smith.

126
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: Um By no means what I call? Uh? Why don't

127
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: I forget his name? There? There are other edge dude.

128
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: He's a very good players. I don't mean he's what,

129
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,679
Speaker 1: but he's a very good up and coming player. Because

130
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: they let in the dock Way, Bowser Tires Bowser, he's

131
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: a much better player than people realize. They decided to

132
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: keep him. They let jude On and the dock Way go,

133
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: and it looks like a good decision for the money

134
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: that everyone made in the process. You know. But they're

135
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: still good on the edge, just fight losing the dock

136
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: way in jude On, but they still blitz like crazy.

137
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: That's that's what. I don't know what they have to

138
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: and I don't if they will if their corners are

139
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: that bad. Yeah, it's it's interesting I mean that slits

140
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball is kind of interesting

141
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: for this game. Really it really is, it really is.

142
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 1: I mean because at these two of the higher blitz

143
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: percentage teams in the league, and one team is not

144
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: the other one team has still there's I mean, the

145
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: Ravens are still third in blitz percenter. It's not as

146
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: high as it has been. It's like thirty I want

147
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: to say. I wouldn't say they were like forty five

148
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: is last year or something. They were very Yeah, that's

149
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: still that's still third in the league in blitz percentage.

150
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: And if it's third down, especially third and long, they're coming.

151
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they don't. There's no mistake about that. I'm

152
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: sure they're having the same conversations. But from the total

153
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: flip standpoint of should we dial back our blitz, where

154
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: we're sitting there saying should the Steers dial up their blitz?

155
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: Because what if? What if he's not there? How are

156
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: you gonna get pass rush? And frankly, the Ravens have

157
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: been really poor handling blitz. You know, going back to

158
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: that Dolphins game is the best example, but it's not

159
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: the only example. Yeah, um, if if you don't have Wanted.

160
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: You may have to blitz right otherwise, how you get

161
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: into them, how you containing them. You know, I don't like.

162
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: I don't think their tackles are great or their own

163
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: lines great. Talk about the villain a Wave, a high

164
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: Smith match young, all right, who is the advantager high Smith?

165
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: But if it's Taco Want at the left offensive outside linebacker,

166
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: villain a Wave is going to get a chip or

167
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: two in his favor, you know what I mean. Like

168
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: if Lot's over there, I like McCary the right tackle.

169
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying he's a great player, but

170
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: he's not a well known name. The more homework I

171
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: did on this week, the better I liked them. Um.

172
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: But no matter what if he gets what all the

173
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: all the protections are going that way. If what if

174
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't get what, I like McCary verse whoever else

175
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: he gets there and probably Taco um, And then you

176
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: might help out a little bit, you know. I think

177
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: Alsachell himself to be honest with it, and he's better

178
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: on the left side. He was the right kind of

179
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: settling in a little, but he's still stiff and doesn't

180
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: move great and doesn't have great paddling and the idea

181
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: is not necessarily to beat that guy. It's the idea

182
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: is to him lamar in right, right, right right. It's

183
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: not trying to whip him. You're not trying to whip

184
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: him off the snap and get up field. No, right right.

185
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: That's a good point that I don't know about Al,

186
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, he's He's obviously very smart, and

187
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure he understands what the Steeler what I know

188
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: you what you know that you were going to do

189
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: to me type of thing. I'm sure he's on top

190
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: of that and he knows his limitations. I'm sure at

191
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: this point. But their line in general, to me is

192
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: kind of a makeshift group. It's not good. Yeah, I

193
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: bet they draft that position pretty heavy in the off season.

194
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: I guess I would think so, Yeah, I would guess so.

195
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Zidler is not young, Al's not young. Stanley

196
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: is coming off a huge Yeah, you have no idea

197
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: what Stanley's gonna be. Right, he may be done. I

198
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: don't have any idea. I mean didn't. I was shocked

199
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: when they shut him down. Yeah. It makes makes the

200
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: trade of Orlando Brown curious, curious on both sides. I'm

201
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: not I'm not like, I don't know that he's been

202
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: the what the Chiefs thought he was going to be.

203
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: The Chief's best lineman have been the two rookies the

204
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: Garden center, Humphrey being one of them. Brown hasn't been

205
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: great for them, but he'd be good for the Ravens

206
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: and he'd be their left ackle right now, which is

207
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: what he wanted. Like weird, but yeah, and that's that

208
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: might have been a no win trade for them. Yeah,

209
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: just just kind of spinning your wheels a little bit.

210
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: Um really interesting game though, it really, I mean so

211
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: much tinges on who's playing and who does. I have

212
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: no idea? I was, I made my I have no idea. Yeah,

213
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean I have some ideas. Of course, I was

214
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: really torn all week with prediction time, and I settled

215
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: on what score this morning and now I'm here in

216
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: this news and I have to reevaluate in the next

217
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: hour here, So because I still think they need Ben

218
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: to be really really good in this game to win,

219
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: because no matter what, I don't trust the stealer run defense,

220
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, and I think the Ravens on offense, we'll

221
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: move the football. I mean it might not be three

222
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: yards of rushing, but They're gonna move the football and

223
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: I think Ben's gonna have to be really good in

224
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: this game. But the secondary news for the Ravens maybe

225
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: he has really good matchup super matchup. Uh, what can

226
00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: you tell us about the Montrevius Adams big body move? Well, Um,

227
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: I haven't paid attention to him the last couple of years.

228
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: I will say the year before his final year of college,

229
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: he was on all the lists and must have been

230
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: a high recruit. I mean just assuming that because he

231
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: has that makeup in big school and you know it

232
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: was on the list early in his college career. Keep

233
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: an eye on this guy, could be could be future

234
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: first round pick type of dude, And it wasn't quite

235
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: that and was inconsistent. Um from what I don't know

236
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: a ton about. And I'll be honest, I mean I'm

237
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: not making things up, but I don't know super well.

238
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: He's not the six foot traditional nose Hampton body type.

239
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think he moves better than that. And

240
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: there's a taller, bigger body than that. Um, But taking

241
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: chances on guys like him that are in their prime

242
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: age wise, what is okay and has ability and things

243
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: haven't worked out at other stops that no cost. I'm

244
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: always in favor of, you know, like he should look

245
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: at himself in the mirror and be like, this might

246
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: be my last shot, you know, And so it sounds

247
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: like he's gonna play. I would venture to guess that

248
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: he's going to play, and quite play quite a bit. Please.

249
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: Appeared in fifty career games doing that many. Yeah, fifty

250
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: one tackles, one and a half sacks. We know that

251
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: positions are going to produce five tackles for a loss

252
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: um this year he actually started or he actually played

253
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: in five games for the Saints and started one. It

254
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: was on their practice squad. Yeah, they have a good

255
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: group of defense tackles. You just saw them last night

256
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: against against the Cowboys completely shut Dallas's run game down. Yeah,

257
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: their defense played as well as good. It's no like

258
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: knock against the guy that he couldn't crack that line. Say,

259
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: that's that's not an easy one to break, ahold of. Yeah,

260
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: that's a good team to steal someone from. Yeah, you know,

261
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: without questions. But even in you know, the five games

262
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: this year, seven tackles tackle for a loss um. I mean,

263
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: he he was He's not a guy that they just

264
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: brought up and just filled the spot. He was active, No, right, right, right?

265
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: I mean he plays and I mean, boy, this this

266
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: is very optimistic. But maybe they got a guy you know,

267
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: snaps this year so as yeah, and he's been around

268
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: the league in five games. Okay, so he's played twenty

269
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: twenty plus snaps a game and he's never gonna be

270
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: a full time guy, especially on a good d line. Um,

271
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: do you think he's a nose though? I mean he's not.

272
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: But for the Steelers, he's a nose and we know

273
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: that much, right, and he's not. Um, he's three twenty,

274
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: I'm guessing something like that. I mean, he's a pretty

275
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: big dude, but but that's what they need. I don't

276
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: think warmly Cam can do everything. At least we're at

277
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: least just too tall to play in those And in

278
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: Louder America the two say like he's too there they

279
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: Steeler and all day long, and really so is Cam.

280
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: But he's so good he can do it all the

281
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: noses the position of need. So I mean, all eyes

282
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: are gonna be on him. He's gonna have a lot

283
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: of recognition issues with the Ravens. I mean, I hope

284
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: he's on top of this gap, just change because the

285
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: card came crashing down on me and all the stuff

286
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be thrown at him. But the people

287
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: in front of them aren't great players. He played for

288
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: the Packers, so he's playing the three four. Yeah, so

289
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's not gonna be This isn't like teaching

290
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: somebody out three days, right. He doesn't have to learn

291
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: French overnight or something like that. So yeah, there's there's

292
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm intrigued to see what I see there.

293
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: I also think you're geting off. Practice squads can be

294
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: pretty good business. Yeah, you know, I think we could

295
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: also see some of Kello Weatherspoon or more Kello Weatherspoon

296
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: scheme and part of these two getting promoted or you know,

297
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: being used. I look at optimistically like there's something here.

298
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: These guys have pedigree. They're not the Ravens corners off

299
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: the practice squad that no one's ever heard of type

300
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: guys you never played the NIF, never played in the NFL,

301
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: or weren't starts. Yeah, so you're you're you know, there's

302
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: these are guys that play a lot of NFL. Yeah,

303
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it sure seems like Pierre's uh, failed his

304
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: test enough that they're gonna look elsewhere. That's the thing.

305
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: You know, people were wondering early in the season, why

306
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: is it Witherspoon playing. They traded for him, they liked

307
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: what they wanted to give James Pierre. James Pierre had

308
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: a great camp, great preseason, and he's flashdoys. Yeah. I

309
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: mean he had a really bad game and the changes

310
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: need to be made and I'm fine with him getting

311
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: benched or demoted or whatever. Um, but I am interested

312
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: to watch Witherspoon. I think both those guys who brought

313
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: up are landed in a really good opportunity for them

314
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: and maybe can help this team. I thought it was

315
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: a scheme. Interesting what Keith Butler said on yesterday and

316
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: we talked to him. Um, he talked about, look, look,

317
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: we got a bunch of guys who are getting opportunities

318
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: right right now. Good word and sometimes you know, it

319
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: takes a couple of weeks to you know, settle in.

320
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: But you better settle in. You better settle big opportunity

321
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: for you and find someone else. Have another press. We

322
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: don't find somebody else who will do the job. You know,

323
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: if you're that that kind of borderline guy, you gotta

324
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: make the most of your chances. You're Henry Mond, do

325
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: you gotta make the most of your chances? Isaiah Bugs

326
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: two chances? Now they're on the hot seat aloud. It

327
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: seems like bugs seat is very hot. Um, what about

328
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: the Davis brothers or I mean, do you think Karl

329
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: is active for this one? I mean, do you have

330
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: any inclination of who does Bugs get a hat this week?

331
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: He was on the injury report yesterday, so yeah, you know, inactive,

332
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: and he was inactive last week, so yeah, they're an

333
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: active list. Is gonna be really interesting. Does Buddy Johnson

334
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: get a shot? I mean I don't know. I mean,

335
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: we'd see some new people and they've used a lot

336
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: of them on defense so far, I mean special teams.

337
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 1: He's gonna be huge in terms of that because if

338
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: you bump some of these guys up. I didn't think

339
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: of that, a heavier, heavier roles on the defense when

340
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: they're not going to play as much special teams and

341
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: potentially now I was thinking that, you know, just someone

342
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: that may blow a special team assignment this week because

343
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: they're asked to do something they're not used to doing,

344
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: or you know, some along those lines, or maybe Pierre

345
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: is not active and they've been counting on him to

346
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: do almost has to be camotastic if if Hayden doesn't playtastic. Yeah,

347
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: so it's it's gonna be fascinating. Um. And we don't

348
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: have a Steeler practice report yet right, Uh should be

349
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: out soon. Uh is not out yet as we as

350
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: we sit here. Um, but I mean I have some

351
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: ideas about who's going to play and who's who's gonna

352
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: be aware and there's kind of things. Um. The offensive

353
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: line is also getting a little Joe Haig's on the

354
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: on the COVID list, posting hours on the i R.

355
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: They're valuable pieces because between the two of them they

356
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: can play five spots. Yeah, you can pay Your depth

357
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: is on the line. Banner misspractice two days this week,

358
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: the first two days this week with with an illness.

359
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: The five almost the five. You know what's up? I

360
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: said that the starting five are almost that might that

361
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: might be it, That might be it. They back up.

362
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: They had to bring up John Leglue. You know, he

363
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: played some center in the preseason, but he's a tackle

364
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: by by trade. Could he play guard? You know? I

365
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: mean they have a shot coward they resigned. I forgot

366
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: he's around him. He would probably be the third guard

367
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: if there's an injury. Yeah, I mean they got some

368
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: other guys there as well. But the you know, the

369
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: it's amazing. I mean just this isn't unique to the Steelers,

370
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: but there's a I mean there's a lot of attrition

371
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: in the league right now, you know. I mean just

372
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: watching last night's game, the saint stone of anybody left

373
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: and Dallas doesn't have a head coach, and as they

374
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: were missing things the last couple of weeks, major pieces,

375
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: and a lot of these teams are in bad shape.

376
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean going around to practice reports on Thursday Friday

377
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: this week, and there's a lot of names. Yeah, I

378
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: mean you can see Chaz Green elevated this week as

379
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: a tackle just because be the swing guy. Yeah, he

380
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: might end up being a swing guy. Uh. I would wish.

381
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: I hope banners active. I would like to see some

382
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: six line sets. But who knows it gets it starts

383
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: getting a little bit dicey there. Yeah, right, if somebody

384
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: gets banged up on that offensive line. These illnesses aren't

385
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: little things necessarily either, not in the COVID. You know,

386
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: he used to be a guy. You know, he might

387
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: not even missed the day at practice. He might, right,

388
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: But now you take this stuff really seriously. Yeah, even

389
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: if you're not COVID related, but still at the rails,

390
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: you know, starting guys a lot. Yeah, and you just

391
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: don't know. Um, you know it's gonna work right, right?

392
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: Who's available to you feel for the coaches? You know,

393
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: like who's available to me on game day? I mean

394
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: it would be nice to know that we have a

395
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: pretty good clue at the moment, and I have a

396
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: feeling that the whole coaching staff doesn't have a great

397
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: feeling yet both both sides. Well. Cam Hayward also missing

398
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: practice today with an illness. Um, the fact he was

399
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: not placed on the COVID list, we know that part

400
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: that part of it, so that's some good news. Um,

401
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: but he wasn't there. But he wasn't you know, he

402
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: didn't practice today. Um. You know the Ravens has missed

403
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: the entire week with an illness. Uh, this stuff happens.

404
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: I mean the Ravens aren't feeling bad for anyone. I

405
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: mean Lamar got it worse than anybody and missed the

406
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: whole game. And I thought it was a shell of himself.

407
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: Maybe because of that, Maybe I'll make an excuse this

408
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: past week, But um Lamar has illness histories. By the way,

409
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it seems gets sick a lot, get sick

410
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: quite a bit. Yeah, I don't know. But the crazy game,

411
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of it now. I

412
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: still don't love where the Steelers sit at the moment.

413
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers are a little too easy to

414
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: play against on both sides of the ball. But can

415
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: the Ravens take advantage of that? They're ready to crash

416
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: back to Earth. I'm not sure. Sure. They've been kind

417
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: of going on with It's kind of been a house

418
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: of cards for them all season. Mike was we have

419
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: Mike pursued on there. I thought he hit the nail

420
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,959
Speaker 1: on the head when he said that the Ravens are

421
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: this year's Steeler. Steelers from right, They're not undefeated, but

422
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: they're probably have an inflated opinion of them, unless you

423
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: forget this was the time of year when the wheels

424
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: came off. Yeah, they were eleven. The Ravens are eight

425
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: and three, and they struggled down the stretch. Some of

426
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: the things you thought were strengths really are not as

427
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: strong as you think, you know what I mean, And

428
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens have some of those trades. Yeah,

429
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: it would be interesting to see. Uh you know again

430
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: if and if you remember last year was that game

431
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: last year the COVID game. Um, you know, the Steelers

432
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: won the game for their for their eleventh win, but

433
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: it was not that that was the beginning of the end.

434
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: So considering where the Steelers are, if they could make

435
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: it that kind of game, is that benefit them? I

436
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: mean just ugly it up as much as possible and

437
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: playing the mud, you know. Mean, I've seen so many

438
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: Steeler Ravens games and I've always said I think at

439
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: times it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy when these two

440
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: teams get together, because you hear both coaches talking. It

441
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to matter whether it's Bill Cower and Brian

442
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: Billick or Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh. Oh it's Raven Steelers.

443
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: Is gonna be a rough and tumble game, you know,

444
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: physical football, blah blah blah. And then they turn it

445
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: into that kind of game you know by yeah, you know,

446
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, three yards in a cloud of dust and

447
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: and uh, I got three point lead I'll just keep

448
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: hunting and trust my defense. And I had a good

449
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: conversation with Tim Ben's on a podcast this morning to

450
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: and he spelled it out just like you kind of

451
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: did there, and it made a lot of sense. He

452
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: kind of you know, we kind of came to the

453
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: conclusion that maybe be better if these two didn't take

454
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,760
