1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on Home of the Black and

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I'm Dale Ali. He

3
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: is Matt Williamson. This is the Drive on the Steelers

4
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: Manastion Radio and I Matt. One thing that um makes

5
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: this this game interesting A couple of things actually, Yeah, um,

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: Brian Flores, Yes, you know you uh talk to Mitch

7
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: Robinsky this morning and uh said, you know, how much

8
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: are you picking his brain this week to to look

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: at Hey, you know you were there for ten years,

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: you were the defensive coordinator there, Like what what do

11
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: they look to do on these in this situation? Interestingly enough,

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: Rabinsky actually quarterbacked against the Patriots in when Florist was

13
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator. Yeah. Uh, New England won Game thirty one.

14
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: Rabinsky had three thirty three passing yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions,

15
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: and also ran for about eight yards in that game.

16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, he was a kind of a defense at

17
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: that point too. Yeah, I mean when double digit games

18
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: every year, Yeah, you know, things I think you could

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: do is kind of tell me how Bill thinks, you know,

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: and that we start gashing him on the left side.

21
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: Flora's might be like, there's no way he's not taken

22
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: that away. You know, whatever expense he's gonna put, bring

23
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: safeties up. You know you're not gonna let you paper

24
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: cut him to death. Or you know there's this missno

25
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: when not misnomer, but Belichick takes away whatever you do best.

26
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: If I hear that one more time, I'm going to puke.

27
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: Like like, no other team, no other team tries to

28
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: do that, right, We're gonna let their their best guy

29
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: beat us, and we're not gonna let any of the

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: slapp he's do it right, Like when Jimmy Johnson played

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: the Niners, he was like, well, let's let Rice catch

32
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: as many as he wants, or you know, we're not

33
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: even gonna try, Like yeah, okay, I don't think he

34
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: does it any differently than anybody else, you know, but

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: they might do things kind of like I mentioned the

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: first segment, one of the trends you saw from the

37
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Patriots was their number one corner would guard the number

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: two receiver and double the one. Okay, you know, but

39
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: they don't do that anymore because he can't. They know

40
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: it's the number one corner and they just don't have

41
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: one anymore. The other thing about this, and this is

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: interesting Trabisky prep to play against the Patriots three times

43
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: last year, really, because the Bills played him twice in

44
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: a regular season and then they played him again in

45
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So he sat there in meeting rooms and

46
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: somebody I mentioned that to to somebody today. I'm like, well, yeah,

47
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: but he didn't play in those games, Like, but he's

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: the number two quarterback. He's preparing for that game like

49
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: he's the starter. Yeah, watch here's what we do. So

50
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: he knows what the Bills did. And and then the

51
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Bills were very familiar with the Patriots playing him twice

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: a year, and they tore him up. And Mitch is

53
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: not Josh Allen, but the Bills liked him for a

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: reason because he's big and strong and fast, and he's

55
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: a facsimile of Josh Allen, you know. So he's sitting

56
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: there looking at this thing through Alan's eyes, going, well,

57
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: if he goes down, i'm gonna do the same thing

58
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: that we did with Josh and attack him the same way.

59
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he had a lot input that way.

60
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought of any of those angles. That's pretty interesting. Yeah,

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: I think it's it's kind of the hidden game in

62
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: this one. That okay, so you know this is he

63
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: you know, he talked about the Patriots that today Mitch

64
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: did He says, look, we studied every game that they

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: played last year, of course, and that's what you do.

66
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: You played three times, right, and this is this is

67
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: week two for this year. So there's not a lot

68
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: of tape there. The Steelers are, I'm sure going back

69
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: and looking at preseason taping games from last year. He's

70
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: already done that. I'm sure Tomlins asking Mitch and Flores,

71
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: you know what, what do you think I mean to

72
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: put a little more emphasis on their thoughts? Now, that's interesting,

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: and that stuff must happen a lot. There's so much

74
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: movement in the league that someone in the buildings like, hey, coach,

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: I prepared against them twice last year to have your

76
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: quarterback we have. The Steelers haven't had that forever. You know.

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: They played you know, the Ravens three times in the season,

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: and they played the Browns three times in the season,

79
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: and you know the bank which are like, yeah, we

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: remember preparing for four years, but never like the Patriots

81
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: were one of these teams outside of your division where

82
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: you okay, well, this guy knows more about this team this.

83
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: This guy knows as much about this team as any

84
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: of our coaches. And oh, by the way, that this

85
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: this assistant coach, he was a defensive play caller. He

86
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: was in the building with them for eleven years. Like

87
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: he's the last game. It wasn't the last game because

88
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: they won, but the Patriots last game their most recent

89
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: tape from two thousand twenty one season, their playoff loss

90
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: was the one which was involved into There was a

91
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: week one too. You know, this is the most year

92
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: later year and the most recent thing that they did

93
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: with the game online with a lot of the same

94
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: defensive personnel. Yeah, it's not that much other than you

95
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: take j. C. Jackson and a good guy lead, take

96
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: their best player off the let's let's look at this

97
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: and see how you want to attack this. Yeah, I understand.

98
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: So No, that's that's a really good angle. And I

99
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: am not disrespecting Belichick, nor do I know if this

100
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: is true or not. Are the Patriots harder to prepare

101
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: for than every other team in the league still? I mean,

102
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: I think there was a time when Brady was a

103
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: robot and process things. I don't think they have the

104
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: depth that they used to write. I mean in their heyday, mcguinnis, Frable, Vanny,

105
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: There's a hundred names, but they all were super versatile,

106
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: the smart they've been there forever. A lot of them

107
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: are future coaches, you know, or analysts mcguinnis you know,

108
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: and Bruski and these guys, and now who are the

109
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: foundational players that have been there and done it or

110
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: make adjustments and they're trying to build that again. I'm

111
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: just looking here, you know. We just went over their

112
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: roster and it made me wonder, like, where's the where's

113
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: the salary cap going for this team? You've done. You've

114
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 1: got a young quarterback on his rookie contract. You should

115
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: absolutely Matthew Judean is sixteen and a half million dollar

116
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: cap hit this year. He's a good player. He's a

117
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: good player. He's not a sixteen and a half million

118
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: dollar a year player that's not going to getting von

119
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: Miller or Khalil the Chargers or Bills did this year.

120
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry's fifteen million against her captis John Who's twelve?

121
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: Uh Nelson agilars four teen point nine everyone killed that

122
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: were team point nine million dollars from Nelson A right

123
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: that was that was two off seasons ago is the

124
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: first time you really saw the Patriots really spending free agency,

125
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: and they really got nothing out of it. I mean,

126
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: they got a lot of B minus C plus type dudes.

127
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: And I remember saying the agog contracts the worst of

128
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: all of them. Oh my god, one killed him for

129
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: back to back tight ends. At least people on paper,

130
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: we're we're arguing whether the Steelers should pay Deonte Johnson

131
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: that kind of money. Not much more than that. He's

132
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: not close to the player Deonta is. I mean, Aguilar

133
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: has had some moments, but he's a first round pick

134
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: and he's never lived up to that. He's not even

135
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: a quality receiver. Isaiah Win is ten point four million dollars.

136
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: Couldn't trade him. Yeah, de Von Godshaw, who's a good player,

137
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: but he's a nose. But he's a nose tackle is

138
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: gonna play, you know, of the snaps, he's eight point

139
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: seven five million dollars. Yeah, I mean their money is

140
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: going to tight ends and noses, and yeah, you know,

141
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: then you got Jonny Jonas Smith is next at eight

142
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: point four. Jonathan Jones, who's their quote unquote number one cornerback,

143
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: is seven point seven. He's really that expensive. Ye, they

144
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: went out in free agency and got him. Apparently I

145
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: got him mixed up with all the Joneses. They got

146
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: too many Joneses. And he's they're paying him a whole

147
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: lot of money. Yah. Kendrick Bourne is six point four million,

148
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Mills is six million, Devonte Parker six million dollars,

149
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Devin mccordy's five point seven. And again, the Steelers don't

150
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: the best roster in the world. Half of those names

151
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned that are making five plus would not play here. Yeah,

152
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, wow, I don't understand it.

153
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: And like I didn't know that Isaiah Win would play

154
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: over chokes at right tackle. I don't either. I would

155
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: come with them at day or left side. Maybe you

156
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: see what happens and maybe he's your six. Like when

157
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: people were talking about trading Frisaiah Winn at the Steelers,

158
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: if they traded for him, probably would have kicked him

159
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: inside the guard probably, And he moves well enough, but

160
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: he's not a masher. You know, you don't run behind

161
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: him on fourth and one. I mean, that's a that's

162
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: a good question. I don't know how that would have happened,

163
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: but yes, you'd love to have lineman, but I would

164
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: rather have ten million in cap space and the fifth

165
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: round pick it would have taken to get him then.

166
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: And they've got some they still have some bargains on here,

167
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: Like David Andrews is only four point two seven five million.

168
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: That's a bargain for David Andrews. And our favorite guys

169
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: are Mac Jones or mondre Stevenson. They're not making anything.

170
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: They're not making anything. I mean, the guys you would

171
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: really want on your team, Like this is just bed

172
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: roster build. Roster building. I've said for a long time,

173
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: and I think it's more true now than ever. Builds

174
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: a much better coach than GM. I mean, they've got

175
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: all that and they've got one point five million dollars

176
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: in available cap space right now. The team is what

177
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: the team is. Do you know what their cap situations

178
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: for next year? I'm just curious, um while you look

179
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: at it, though, I mean, they they've made I think

180
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: it's five, it's your four or five. I'm pretty sure

181
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: it's five. They've made five first round picks. It's two

182
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: thousand eighteen all on offense, and their offense is bad.

183
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: They got fifty Okay, they have fifty two million dollars

184
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: next year next year, okay, which sounds great, But now

185
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: you're in the year three with Matt Jones, you're gonna

186
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: make a decision, right right, And I think a lot

187
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: of their deals on their spending spree off season, the

188
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: tight end spending spree are starting to open up a

189
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: little bit. Well, Johnny Smith jumps to seven teen point

190
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: four million next year, I assume he's got He's the

191
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: highest paid player in the team. Hunter Henry is fifteen

192
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: point five, so thirty three million dollars and tight ends

193
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: and average for average tight ends Jude On sixteen and

194
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: a half again, Godshaws ten point three. Mccordy's got nine

195
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: point seven five million or nine point seven million and

196
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: dead money because they, I guess must have given him

197
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: some avoidable years on his contract. Uh you know, TRMP

198
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: round takes a jump on. I mean, it's it's not

199
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: great roster building. The other thing that is very different

200
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: from yesteryear is it used to be Corey Dillon, Randy Moss, etcetera, etcetera.

201
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: Those guys all wanted to go there. Yeah, I want

202
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: to go there and win one with Tom and Bill.

203
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: Now they go to Tampa, Tampa, and now no one

204
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: wants to go to New England because it's a miserable

205
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: exam you know what I mean. Fun. It's fun when

206
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: you're winning super Bowls and you know you're gonna be

207
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: in the mix to win a super Bowl. Not so

208
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: much fun when you're going they we're gonna struggle to

209
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: go win nine games this year and maybe we sneak

210
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. And like I said, I mean two

211
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen, two thousand and ten, two thousand five. Yeah,

212
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: I'll go there and be miserable up until kickoff and

213
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: every minute after, but I'm gonna end up with a

214
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: ring or at least playoff checks. And you know we're

215
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: gonna win a lot of games with Tom and that'll

216
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: be great. Now you go there and like, I'm just

217
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna grind and not be good, like I'll go anywhere else. Yeah,

218
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not. And you know then you have

219
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: to live up there. The stadium is nowhere near anything.

220
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: Is that where their facility is to that's where their

221
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: facility is as well. I mean, I imagine all those

222
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: guys live in that Foxborough area, but it's you know,

223
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: you're an hour from from Boston, you're an hour from Providence.

224
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: It's like you're kind of in the middle of nowhere.

225
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with the geography. It's it's not a

226
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: it's not a pleasant place, especially in the wintertime. You'll

227
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: live you know, twenty five year old kid would rather

228
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: live in New York or l A or Chicago or whatever,

229
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, whatever. Right, But No, they're an odd, odd

230
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: organization obviously, and they've been ridiculously successful. But I think

231
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: they're in a very very different era than used to. Yeah,

232
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: these are not the patriots that you're used to seeing

233
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: come rolling into town here. Um and again, I can't

234
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 1: figure out why, why that is, why that line is

235
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: what it is. No, that doesn't make sense to people

236
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: looking at the Steelers that that's what's happened with the

237
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: Steelers last week against the Bengals and somehow discounting that

238
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: win against the Bengals. See, I was gonna they say,

239
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: maybe the Watt injury is really weighing on people. But

240
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: I think the line was like that before the Bengal.

241
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: The line was set before the BEng and it was

242
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: it just hasn't moved right, and so you lose what

243
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 1: but you win the Bengals game. Is that enough to

244
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: keep it the same. I don't quite know how betting

245
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: minds work. I mean, you went out there and you

246
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: made it, what is one of the whatever everybody we

247
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: talked about it last week. This is one of the

248
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: top young offenses in the NFL, in the Bengals, and

249
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: you made him look like a pop gun offense, and

250
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: you you abused them, I mean, just rebuilding the line.

251
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: You abused it. And I think that they'll still I

252
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 1: mean we were talking about the Patriots a line. I

253
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: like it better than the Steelers, but I still like

254
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: the Steelers front better than the defensive front even without

255
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: even without right with what it's not close, But I

256
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: mean I still think cam Ogan, Joe B. High Smith,

257
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: he's not get three sacks every week. But you said

258
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: that's the other day, and it really stuck with me.

259
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: Is I forget who you're chatting with someone one of

260
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: the defending Yeah, like, well, if high Smith's the same,

261
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: like he's going to be better, right, And I think

262
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: we just saw that he was great in that game.

263
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean his getoff. I was watching it's it's special. Um,

264
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: you know, he comes out of the blocks like he's

265
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: a sprinter, and he's gonna get like he's gonna be

266
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: playing against the left tackle this week. He's never sprinted

267
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: in his life. He might be the biggest player in

268
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: the league. Now, he may he may win some because

269
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: he's just a massive human being. You take an extra

270
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: step to get around him. But there's gonna be some

271
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: times where high Smith with that quick first step gets

272
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: around him. Oh I bet. Yeah, he may be untouched

273
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,599
Speaker 1: at times. Yeah not the probably not that's exaggeration. But

274
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like that matchup or not

275
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: for the Steelers. I mean, the weight, size stuff is

276
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: a massive disadvantage, and the run game probably favors Trent Brown.

277
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a huge human being, but he hasn't

278
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: played great in a couple of years. Yeah, this is

279
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: he's not the trump around that He's getting big money

280
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: from the Raiders, right. I mean he's a retread at

281
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: this point, and he is slow footed. I mean, he's

282
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: that we talked about. And then you know, then then

283
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: there is their offensive. I don't even know what you

284
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: want to call it. I mean they have not looked

285
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: good at all. Um, everything's kind of been disjointed. This

286
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: entire I talked to. In fact, I was chatting on

287
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: training some messages with Greg Bdard last night, and Greg

288
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: was has been at the forefront of this at Boston

289
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: Sports Journal UM reporting on how bad that the Patriots

290
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: offense looked in training camp, and that continued, Yeah, that

291
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: that continued to last week. They don't know what they

292
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: want to be. They don't know what they want to do.

293
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: And they mentioned before like they were a heavy fullback team.

294
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: Don't even have a fullback on the roster. I have

295
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: publicly said we're gonna do more Shanahan zone stuff, you know,

296
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: design rollouts for quarterbacks. But everyone is a power old

297
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: school Mashia fullback, you know, run power pooling guards stuff.

298
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: You know. Trent Brown doesn't fit, you know what I mean. Like, so,

299
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why change it, because I think act

300
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: was drafted properly for the old system, you know. I mean,

301
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: sometimes there's there's no there's nobody with with enough gravitas

302
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: on the staff offensively on the offensive side of things

303
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: to tell Belichick. No, there's nobody in the whole building, period,

304
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: including maybe the owner. Yeah, and he's earned that, But

305
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: that's to me. I think that happens sometimes at the

306
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: end of great coaches career, including the Landry's and Knolls

307
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: of yesteryear, Paterno at Penn State. I mean, all time

308
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: great type dudes. Nobody's there to tell you know anymore,

309
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Or maybe this isn't the

310
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: best idea, bill, you know what I mean, Like maybe

311
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: we should have an offensive coordinator that's called plays. Yeah,

312
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: and you know when he goes to Patricia and and

313
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: Joe Judge and says, Okay, which one do you guys

314
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: wants to run the offense? How about this? How about

315
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: both of you are on the offense. Yeah, that's that work.

316
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: We'll get it done. We were for both former head coaches.

317
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: We can handle that. We we had, we had, you know,

318
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: when we were head coaches. We had a hand in

319
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: the in the game planning for the offenses that we had.

320
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: Never mind the fact that both of their offenses stunk. Yeah.

321
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: Tom Bradley does a lot of work with us, and

322
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: he's great dude, and he's fun to chat with. And

323
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: he said things like that too, even on the air,

324
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: Like Joe was so strong at Penn State. But I'd

325
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: been there the longest and I could tell him no,

326
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm paraphrasing, but he's like, that was one

327
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: of the most valuable things I brought to the table,

328
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: is we start going down a bad path with recruiting

329
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: or defense or whatever. I could pull him aside in

330
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: his office be like, this is this isn't you this

331
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: is a bad idea. Yeah, Like I don't have Dyneland

332
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: has those guys. You know that's the problem. You know,

333
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: some of the other guys on his staff or his

334
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: sons or his son's telling him though, Dad, that's not

335
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: a good idea. No, nobody's going So there's nobody there

336
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: to do that. And it just doesn't look good right now.

337
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't. Um. They may figure it out, you know. Yeah,

338
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: they may make it better. But the preseason and Week

339
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: one was miserable. Um. You know, it's just the job

340
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: of the Steelers this week to make sure that doesn't. Um.

341
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: If they figured out down the road, so be it.

342
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: But UM, you know, I don't know. If T twelve

343
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: to figure things out, he covered up a lot of

344
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: the issues. Um. If if I'm looking at ways, is

345
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: particularly against this team to defend these guys because they're built,

346
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: they want to run the football. That's that's what they Yeah,

347
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: that's what they want to do. Um, you know, I know,

348
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: you know without t J. Watt in there. Um, we

349
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: talked about it with the Marvin Leal. Maybe he'll play

350
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: some outside linebacker. Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if if

351
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, the Steelers do something like that. But maybe

352
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: with a guy like Cam Heyward, kick Wormley out to

353
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: defensive end and let him play some defensive end. Wormy

354
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: did a little a lot of that at Michigan. Actually, Um,

355
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: I think i'd like Cam well, like Cam doing anything

356
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: better than Wormley of course, Um, that would make some

357
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: sense because you're gonna get a lot of double tight ends.

358
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: You're they run the ball when they're losing a higher

359
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: percentage of the league, when they're in the first half,

360
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: higher percentage of the league, when they're within five point

361
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: four points, whatever condition. They run the ball a higher

362
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: percentage than league average. They don't drive the ball down

363
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: the field particularly. I saw I think mac Jones was

364
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: like four of fourteen or something like that passes more

365
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: than ten yards last Yeah, it wasn't good. It wasn't good. No,

366
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: I saw this as well. Um, that would absolutely make sense.

367
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean, putting your best eleven on the field is

368
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: often the goal. And if that means two d tackles

369
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: and cam over the right tackle or whatever, I mean,

370
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: imagine what he'd do to win. I mean he'd push

371
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: him around like crazy, or he could match the physicality

372
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: of Brown. Yea, you could do some things there. Um,

373
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, again, putting your best guys out there and

374
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: keeping your linebackers uncovered. Yeah, I said, I'm sure Bush

375
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: and Jack would appreciate it. Yeah, let them let them

376
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: run and make the tackles on on these running backs

377
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: because on the field, because neither Harris Stevenson's deceptive with

378
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: his speed. He's he's a little he's a bigger. He's

379
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: a bigger back, and he's pretty quick for me. Yeah,

380
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: I mean they try to they try to run a

381
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: lot of their stuff to the outside, and they get

382
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: those guys out on the edge. We'll let those linebackers

383
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: can stay free and get to the edges. If I

384
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: were them, I'd be game planning to try to reach

385
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: and read more than anybody in Highsmith too, especially with

386
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: with Brown. If you can bully those edge defenders. So

387
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: maybe putting a big body or warmly or louder milk

388
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't even if you'll play cam would be the

389
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: best option over a tackle what makes some sense? Yeah,

390
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: I mean the Steelers have and they're not gonna go

391
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: for wide on you. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see

392
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: if they do make a move with Watt this week

393
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: and what move they make. Yeah, Steelers are still carrying

394
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: seven defensive lineman. Are all seven active this week? I'd

395
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: like to see louder Milk play, but there's not a

396
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: lot of room for seven. But this is a this

397
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: is a game where you could get seven and if

398
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: you do play an extra defensive lineman, maybe then you

399
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: have seven active and go out the Browns on a

400
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: short week, right, I mean that would be Brown's Ravens

401
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: paid treats or the approach, or you'd use that approach

402
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: against those teams. So practice it now with the thoughts

403
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: of using it the next two weeks maybe, you know, Yeah,

404
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: a short week. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't be wouldn't

405
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: surprise me if you know. That's what the Steelers might

406
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: try to do here, just to get your best people

407
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: on the field and have a physical front. Yeah, you

408
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: want to stop the run. You can't let the Patriots

409
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: of all teams run the football against you, because they'll

410
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: just continue to do it. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean

411
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: that's definitely a Belichick or Brady. Thing that Brady got

412
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: from Belichick is if you're gonna give me a layup,

413
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it. Every time. I did see this

414
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: interesting little statu and the other thing that while you

415
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: were saying that, meant to say earlier, the Steelers can

416
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: do it now, like they couldn't do that last year

417
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: because they had no other defensive lineman. Like you can't

418
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: just trot out the Davis brothers and we're gonna play seven. Yeah,

419
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna play an extra defensive lineman, but if he's

420
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: not up the par your kid doesn't do any good.

421
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you can with Og and Joe and Lulu

422
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: on the inside and not miss a beat defensive tackle wise.

423
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: How about this. Thirty three of New England's Russia's last

424
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: week failed the game yard you know, really bad, the

425
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: highest rate in the league. People thought the Steelers had

426
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: trouble running the football, and they did well. They did,

427
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: but one out of three didn't make the line of scrimmage.

428
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: One out of the three. Everything, I mean, that tells

429
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: me that offensive line was losing losing. Yes, And I

430
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: also think Miami didn't fear the passing game at all.

431
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of pressing the receivers and putting

432
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people near the line of scrimmage. Miami's

433
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: got better corners than Pittsburgh, but you didn't play, you know.

434
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,239
Speaker 1: I mean, Flores knows both quite. I saw a lot

435
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: of safety blitz is to from the Patriots. I mean,

436
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure Flora's was studying that dolphin table. I wonder

437
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: how much Minca is in the box this week. I

438
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: wonder It's did something about that on a podcast, and

439
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: I kind of thought the opposite in that, I don't

440
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: know why you'd ever go too high where you did

441
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: a lot of too high against the Bengals. Maybe Mincas

442
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: just back there and all the other guys are in

443
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: the box, But it makes back there though he's he

444
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: may never he may never get a play, he may

445
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: not see his name once he made one tackle that

446
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: and you kind of nullify him. Yeah, I mean, if

447
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: he's wanting again, you're want to get your best players,

448
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: your best eleven in position to make plays. I might, uh,

449
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, I might dare them. I might put Norwood

450
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: back and say go ahead, try to throw it. Yeah,

451
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: we don't think you can. Yeah, and please try on

452
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: a seven step drop and you know and blitch. Yeah.

453
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely at more to this year this week, Watt. Yeah right,

454
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,240
