1
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: At least, is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 2: Welcome back to our number two of the Drive here

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 2: on the Steelers Audio Network. I am Dale Lolly, he

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: is the Matt Williamson and Matt is Wednesday, which means

7
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: in today's Fantasy Football Focus, we take a look at

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: some of the big injuries around the league as they

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: affect teams. Here, Taysom Hill with chest injury, return to

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: practice in full on Wednesday for the for the Saints.

11
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: And given the state, I'm about to ask you that

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: the tight end position right now, Like, where do you

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: rank him?

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: So you a top twelve guy? Now he might be

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: this week.

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 4: Like I gotta take Firemouth over him, especially this week,

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 4: but I take Gardard over him, you know. But what

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 4: about like Mark Andrews. I know that's insane, but.

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: No catches last week? He's got nine points for the season.

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 4: Kelsey's low, Kittle's hurt, Kincaid hasn't done much. McBride's gonna

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 4: probably be on this list and he's been good. But

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 4: don't let tayto some Hill sat on your waiver line.

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a bad season for injuries at the

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: tight end position and that position.

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but as I've said before, the tight.

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: End position, because of what they're asked to do and

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: where they catch the football, yeah, just lends itself to

28
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: guys getting hurt. People say that Buffalo Fiar moves, he

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: gets hurt too much. I'm like, have you looked around

30
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: at other tight ends?

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 5: Right?

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 6: Right's out now?

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: He doesn't miss any more games than anybody else's top

34
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: tight ends. I know Kelsey, Well, Kelsey never misses any time,

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 2: but he does. He's never asked to block.

36
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 6: No, he's a glorified receiver.

37
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, right, but no, the state of the tight

38
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: end position is really try right now, there's not a

39
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: lot of even as many good ones we've had come

40
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 4: in the league, there aren't many that are like blowing

41
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: the world away like Bowers is impressive, but last week

42
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 4: wasn't good for him, you know. And it's an inconsistent position,

43
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: it really is. Passing yards are down.

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: If if Mark Andrews isn't a factor again this week,

45
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: is it time to maybe cut bait Well?

46
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 4: Well, the thing that one's talking about with him is

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 4: he was in a car accident recently.

48
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: You know, like, yeah, but what two weeks three weeks

49
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: before the season's.

50
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 6: Right, right, And I don't know how bad it was.

51
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: I mean everyone kind of brushed it off, like, oh,

52
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: the fender bendery's all right, but it doesn't act. And

53
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: he's coming off a major injury and he was a

54
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 4: car accident and he's not young.

55
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

56
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 4: I will say, their whole plan against Dallas, and we'll

57
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 4: talk about Dallas a week from now, is we want

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 4: to get big and we're gonna run. You know, it's

59
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 4: a a card game.

60
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: Last time I checked, though, Mark Andrews is big.

61
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 4: He's big, but I mean he's not a great blocker.

62
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 4: But he was only out there one third of the snaps. Yeah,

63
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 4: I mean that's the street. Got four targets, did he

64
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 4: and didn't catch anything? They didn't catch any likely got

65
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: one catch. Yeah, I don't know. I'm probably gonna start

66
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 4: him again this week because you have so much invested.

67
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 4: But then he's in the doghouse after that.

68
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cooper Cup with that ankle injury no longer in

69
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: a cast, so that's a step in the right direction.

70
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 6: Steve's on ir though, right.

71
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: I know they never put him on IR.

72
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 6: When the coup is on IR, cup is not okay.

73
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 6: So man, maybe Ed's right on it.

74
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: So they just wanted to stabilize that thing for a

75
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, and now you start ramping them back

76
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 2: up to come back.

77
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 6: He might be a good trade candidate.

78
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, go knock on the door whoever has him sitting there,

79
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: you know, burn the horn the Uh.

80
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold with that knee injury for the Vikings got

81
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: a full practice today. Good good, that's a good sign

82
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: for him. He's fantasy relevant now too.

83
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

84
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: Jordan Addison with that ankle injury, was officially limited on Wednesday.

85
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: He's trending back towards a return.

86
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: I've never been a huge fan, Like, I don't own

87
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: him anywhere, and but he would be a nice pickup.

88
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I forget the dude's name has been. It's

89
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: been catching a touchdown every week for them. Jalen Naylor, Naylor, Naylor,

90
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: I mean he's better than that. I mean yeah, I

91
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 4: mean Naylor's he would go away pretty quick if Addison

92
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: showed up, and it's a good offense. Uh.

93
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: John H.

94
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: Reynolds with an achilles was limited on Wednesday for the

95
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: Denver Broncos.

96
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: He's kind of been He's not bad relevant for them.

97
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has.

98
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 4: The offense showed a little bit of signs of life.

99
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: I mean they might be better. I mean Nix is gonna

100
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 4: be better than he was against the Steelers or Round

101
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: one or week one.

102
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: Uh Deebo Samuel a non participant on Wednesday. Doesn't look

103
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: like he's going to play again this week.

104
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 6: Okay.

105
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: Trent Williams with an illness did not practice on Wednesday

106
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: for the four.

107
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 4: Other stuff too, Yeah, he has conditioning stuff. He was

108
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: injured in the game. Hasn't been great for the Niners.

109
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: No Rock Party was back. He has a back issue.

110
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: He was practiced in full on Wednesday for them. Saying

111
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 2: about Kittle though, no, no, yeah, not to well. Kittle

112
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: was limited on Wednesday with the hamstring.

113
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking about Juwan Jennings, like, I'm probably not

114
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: chasing that performance.

115
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 6: I wouldn't.

116
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's not what he's certainly not going to

117
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: put up that.

118
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 6: No, of course, I don't know that he's a starting

119
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 6: receiver this he.

120
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: May have had that many points. As many points he

121
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: had in that game, he might not have the rest

122
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: of the.

123
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 4: Year, right, I think that's quite capable. And I said,

124
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 4: faith in I you rebounding to Jamar. Chase has a

125
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 4: shoulder injury. He was limited on Wednesday.

126
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 6: I didn't realize that. I think he finished the game.

127
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

128
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen, with a heel injury, was limited to practice

129
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: on Wednesday. That's actually a step in the right now. Actually,

130
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: he hasn't been out there yet.

131
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 6: No.

132
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 4: And they threw the ball a ton and it went

133
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: to three guys. I went to more, it went to Comet,

134
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: and it went to a Duneesay.

135
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: Comet was opened anytime they wanted, anytime I want Hi. Yeah,

136
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: and they played the Golds folks.

137
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 3: Chewbah.

138
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: Hubbard was limited on Wednesday, but that was a rest

139
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: situation for him.

140
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 6: Okay.

141
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: Andy Dalton, also with the Panthers, has an ankle that

142
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: cropped up, but he had a full practice on Wednesday

143
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: as well.

144
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm not saying run out and grabbed Dalton, but

145
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: I'm comfortable now starting Deyonta if I have to Cuba.

146
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 4: You know, I think those two now are useful.

147
00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

148
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 3: That the Bengal secondary on Monday night did not impress me.

149
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 6: A whole lot. Defense in generals pretty rough Taylor Taylor Britt,

150
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 6: Uh Taylor. The last name is Taylor Britt hyphenated right.

151
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: I can't think of his first name, but Taylor Brit

152
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: Taylor brick Cam Taylor Britt talked a lot last week

153
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: and then got scorched multiple.

154
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 3: Times in that game. Yeah, not so great, not so great.

155
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

156
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: Tank Dell has a wrist injury and rib injuries. He's

157
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: considered day to day.

158
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 6: Really okay.

159
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 4: I kind of felt like he's a by loo too

160
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 4: because he's done very little. I think he's gonna go

161
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 4: past digs at some point. But those were a little fellows,

162
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 4: you know, the Chans and Dells. The guys are unusually small.

163
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 4: When I hear an injury like that, I worry more.

164
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's two things. It's not just yea.

165
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 2: Austin Ekeler with a concussion has been ruled out for

166
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: Week four, so Brian Robinson.

167
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 6: Big time.

168
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: They're playing the Colts too.

169
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 4: I mean that offense is putting up a lot of

170
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 4: points or moving the football a time. I thought the

171
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 4: thing looks good this year. Yeah, I think he just

172
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 4: had a bad ankle last year.

173
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

174
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: Tucker Kraft, with a shoulder injury, was limited on Wednesday

175
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: for the Green Bay Packers. Jordan Love officially limited on

176
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: Wednesday for the Packers, And.

177
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 6: That's trending the right way. But I think this week

178
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 6: has a chance.

179
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know you'd think, well, maybe they because

180
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: they've won the two games with Malik Willis the quarterback.

181
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: Maybe they rest Love another week, but they play the.

182
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 6: Vikings really important game that this would be one of

183
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 6: the best games of the weekend.

184
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see if if Love ramps it up

185
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: here later in the week.

186
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 6: Not to mention, I mean Love would deal with Flores

187
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 6: a lot better.

188
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara has hip and rib injuries. He was officially

189
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: a non participant on Wednesday. Speaking of teams, they play

190
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: the Falcons. Okay, that's a huge rivalry game.

191
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

192
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 4: So hot starts are great, but Kamara age running backs,

193
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: they don't usually keep it up. Yeah, if this is

194
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 4: step one of you know, getting banged up, which they

195
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: always especially.

196
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: For a guy like him who's never been a high

197
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: volume guy right as a runner, right, and now he's

198
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2: they're asking him to do those kind of things and everything.

199
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, just it's great.

200
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: Just don't count on him being the most productive back

201
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: in the league in week twelve.

202
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: You know, Dallas Goddard not seen practicing on Wednesday.

203
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 6: They like outer receivers.

204
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: Though, no no issue or no news on what that

205
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: issue might be with him. Maybe he's got sore hands

206
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: from catching all those passes. Yeah, yeah, so they trade

207
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 2: for Dotson. I think he has one catch this year

208
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: and aj Brown's been out Janatae Smith got hurt.

209
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 4: Like maybe he's not good. I don't know, but it

210
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 4: seems like you'd be using him if you give a

211
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: third round pick for.

212
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: Him, justin Herbert. This, according to Daniel Popper on Twitter,

213
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: progressing and might practice on Wednesday. Of course they're in

214
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: San Diego or Los Angeles, so we won't get that

215
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: news until later. But the idea that he might practice,

216
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: I can't imagine it's a full participation.

217
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 6: I would think not That seems like a pretty serious

218
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 6: injury to me.

219
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: But the same thing for them. They're playing the Chiefs

220
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: this week. Yeah, you know you want him out there.

221
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 4: You don't just want to hand one over to the Chiefs,

222
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: which basically would be with how that works. But I

223
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 4: don't know. I mean, I think you got to think

224
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 4: big picture with him. He's played through a lot of injuries.

225
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 6: His career.

226
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jonathan Brooks, with a knee, is nearing a return

227
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: for the Carolina Panthers. He's in the final stages of

228
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: returning to play. According to a head coach Dave Canalis.

229
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 6: Wow, what list is he is?

230
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 5: He?

231
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 6: Did he start on IR.

232
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 3: Or was he a pop I think he might have

233
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 3: been a pup because.

234
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 4: He didn't do anything in camp of Yeah, I think

235
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 4: since they drafted him, I'm really intrigued with that. I mean,

236
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 4: there are lines actually playing well. If you can trade

237
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: for him, now, I'd do it. I mean I drafted

238
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 4: him in actually both my leagues mid rounds and then

239
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 4: thought when the first two games of season, I'm like, well,

240
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: that's a wasted pick. I mean, come back to this mess.

241
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 6: But now, yeah, it's all r right.

242
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: I just don't know for running back coming back off

243
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: of an a.

244
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 6: C L Yeah, I mean as a new pro.

245
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't know.

246
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 6: I would probably need it.

247
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 4: I mean like, if he, let's say he's active in

248
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: week five, probably take me to week seven until I

249
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 4: actually started.

250
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: I'd have to see it a couple of weeks. And

251
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: it's not like their other you know, the other backs

252
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 2: have been doing the job.

253
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 6: They're fine.

254
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 4: They don't need him, you know, right, and they're not

255
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 4: winning the Super Bowl with or with album.

256
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: Damian Pierce with a hamstring, not seen practicing on Wednesday.

257
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 6: Sounds like akers has a chance to go again? Is

258
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 6: the one? Yeah great the first time around.

259
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: But Davonte Smith with a concussion, not spotted to practice

260
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 2: on Wednesday for the Eagles.

261
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 6: I mean the protocol is not kicking in.

262
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: Then, Yeah, that's that doesn't get him. A. J. Brown

263
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: not seen practicing on Wednesday with that hamstring.

264
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 6: He basically says it'd be a couple of weeks.

265
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 5: T J.

266
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: Hawkinson with a knee could return to practice next week.

267
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 6: Wow, jump on him? Yeah, dump on him.

268
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I bet there's leagues he is not that

269
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 4: he didn't get drafted, and there's probably people that aren't

270
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 4: paying attention enough.

271
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 6: Tight ends are hard to find right now.

272
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: Here's the thing with him, though.

273
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 6: I probably did a week to see him live too.

274
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: But coming back off of an injury like he had,

275
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: I wonder if they slow play this a little bit

276
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: because they get a twenty one day window with him

277
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: to have him start practicing. Yeah, right, right, and then

278
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: they have to either activate him at the end of

279
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: that twenty one days or if he's not ready, he

280
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: goes on season ending I are, yeah, yeah, so maybe this.

281
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 6: Is I know how that go.

282
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 4: Like I remember when Rogers did that last year, like

283
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 4: he has no chance of coming back, but his window

284
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 4: is officially open now.

285
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know.

286
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: No one over the summer, no one was talking about

287
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 4: Hawkinson like he's gonna miss the whole year, you know,

288
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 4: like many people thought he'd be round by Halloween or so,

289
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 4: maybe it's two weeks later.

290
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, in the.

291
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: Case, yeah, yeah, I mean we're getting almost to the

292
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: end of September.

293
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 6: Now.

294
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: My point was, though I doubt that he's shut down

295
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 4: for the season, Yeah, but it could be a while.

296
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 6: It's always useful for fantasy.

297
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: You mentioned Trey McBride. He remains in concussion protocol. Again,

298
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to watch the consion, have to watch

299
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: the injury report on that one to figure out he's

300
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: gonna have to clear concussion protocol.

301
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: And that means you're doing the steps.

302
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: A day of limited practice, maybe even a second day

303
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: of limited practice, and then a full practice on Friday

304
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: before he gets cleared, and even then you're not guaranteed

305
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: to be cleaned no right.

306
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 4: Right, So and of course he's a West Coast practice guy,

307
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 4: so we don't have much news on that yet.

308
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, but keep an eye on it. I mean, if

309
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 6: you're a McBride owner, you're on the edge your seat

310
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 6: on that one. Absolutely you're not gonna find a suitable replacement.

311
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: Joe Mixon with that ankle injury remains week to week.

312
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 6: Okay, again though that leans towards Acres.

313
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: Wyatt Teller with an mcl spring was placed on ir

314
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: for the Browns. We didn't talk about that one yesterday.

315
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: Their offensive line is a complete and utter mess.

316
00:12:59,280 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 6: It really is.

317
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 4: I mean because Will's came back to left tackle and

318
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 4: was horrendous. They're okay at center. Guard's always been the

319
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 4: strength of the team, but they're starting to get a

320
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 4: little older, and now you lost one of the guys

321
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: you could kind of count on. Right tackle has been

322
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 4: a revolving door. They've had tackle injuries galore, and Watson's

323
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: horrendous under pressure and the running back doesn't make yardage

324
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 4: like Chubb used.

325
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: Do you know that saw a thing today?

326
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: His last three hundred yard game Watson. Watson came in

327
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: twenty twenty with the Houston Texans, and even at that,

328
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: there are some comparisons that you could draw between him

329
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: and Trevor Lawrence. How do I put this in a

330
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: nice way? No reason the year that Watson quote unquote

331
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 2: had his best season and led to the NFL in

332
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: passing yards, Yeah, yeah, they were four and twelve. Oh right, right,

333
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: there was a reason he led the league in passing

334
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: because they throw all the time. Exactly same thing with

335
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. Here, he's gonna put up a bunch of

336
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: yardage and stuff because they stink.

337
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 6: They're really bad.

338
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 4: Unlike that version of Watson, though, Lawrence is part of

339
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: the problem right now, you know, watching them with like

340
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 4: a bright spot on those type and teams, and it

341
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 4: was definitely was inflated and he was a much better

342
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 4: scrambler than too than he is now. Watson Lawrence scares me.

343
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: I mean, like Lawrence is playing bad bad. I don't

344
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 4: know if you saw it, but it's been going around

345
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 4: Twitter a bunch and a bunch of people send it

346
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 4: to me. If you look at Daniel Jones, we talked

347
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: about they're like identical, and.

348
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: People talking about Jones like he's the worst quarterback in

349
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: the league and Trevor Lawrence isn't considered dead and maybe

350
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: he should be.

351
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 6: I think there would be another coaching change there too.

352
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Justin Jones out for the season underwinning them are

353
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: which revealed a torn tricep.

354
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 4: Corner, right, Yeah, there's some Jones. Is that I get

355
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 4: confused at the corner of the Patriots had like six

356
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 4: of them.

357
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: This is the Arizona Jones.

358
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 6: Okay.

359
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,359
Speaker 2: So Jerome Ford for the Browns, speaking of them, misspractice

360
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: on Wednesday. So did Pierre Strong with a hamstring.

361
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 6: So that.

362
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 4: I mean, it hasn't been a good running game at all.

363
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: And frankly, it's been one of the worst offenses in

364
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: the league no matter how you look at it. But

365
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 4: it's even harder for fantasy because Foreman's in the mix

366
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 4: and he's probably looked the best of the group. I

367
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 4: don't know if you can start anybody there.

368
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, David and Joku also not practicing today. Miles Garrett

369
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: has foot, achilles and thigh injuries.

370
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 6: That's it.

371
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 3: That's it. He did not practice today.

372
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 6: Sound great to start this week. Now they have the Raiders.

373
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: I think they're playing the Raiders in Las.

374
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 4: Vegas, Vegas, and it's like a pick them game, and yeah,

375
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 4: it should be really right. Vegas might be better team. Yeah, yeah,

376
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if they're playing Minshew or O'Connell or whatever.

377
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: I think he came out today and said that Minshew's

378
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: the starter.

379
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 6: Okay, that's what I expected to happen, But it probably

380
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 6: won't be long until there's changes.

381
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: Not if they have another game like that, And that's

382
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: one thing that could happen against this Browns defense.

383
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 3: It could even at that, like they got.

384
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: To get they got gifted a touchdown last week and

385
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: the open on the opening kickoff that I think the

386
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: Giants fumbled the opening kickoff and Cooper like the next

387
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: play was and the Browns still got smoked in that game.

388
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 6: They didn't do anything until the end.

389
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there was like fifty minutes of playtime

390
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 4: that they were bad.

391
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: If you can't protect your quarterback, you can't operate.

392
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 4: And he doesn't elevate anybody. No, and frankly, if they

393
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 4: don't have Garrett, the defense becomes above average. Maybe maybe

394
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 4: they're gonna be on the field a lot too.

395
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 6: Yeah. I don't know what their time possession is, but

396
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 6: it can't be good.

397
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: Because the defensive tackles aren't great, no, right, right, Like,

398
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 2: Garrett's a big part of their run defense too. Even

399
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: if he's not getting tackles and stuff, you do have

400
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: to double him and.

401
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 6: All the attention he gets. Right, it'd be an okay

402
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 6: defense without them, but probably a droppable one in for fantasy.

403
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, that's gonna do it for the

404
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: fantasy football focus. He is Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lally.

405
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Drive here in the Steelers Audio Network.

406
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: We'll be back with or right after this.

407
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 5: This.

408
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

409
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

410
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

411
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: Welcome back on Dale Lolli.

412
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: He is the Matt Williamson and madam looking here at

413
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 2: an article by Kevin Patra on the NFL dot com

414
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: and he breaks down seven things factor fiction. Okay, one

415
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 2: of these things a Steeler related.

416
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 6: Let's save that one for the last one.

417
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, we can do that.

418
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 2: His first one, Josh Allen is the best player in

419
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: the NFL right now.

420
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 4: Fiction, But I think he's second, and I think he's

421
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 4: running away with the MVP as we speak he's been

422
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 4: incredibly good.

423
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 3: He's been really good.

424
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 4: Accuracy's top of the league, spreading the ball around, not

425
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 4: making the crazy errors.

426
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 6: It'll be some of those coming.

427
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: That to me is the big thing. Yeah, with with

428
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: Josh Allen as he's not making the big mistakes and

429
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 2: he's spreading the ball around. He's not trying to force

430
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 2: it to one guy.

431
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 4: I know, and they did too much of that, but

432
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 4: I don't know too much. But they did a lot

433
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 4: of that with Diggs. So it's a group effort.

434
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 2: Now, gonna be an interesting matchup this week between them

435
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: and the Ravens in Baltimore.

436
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 4: Very much so, I am. I'm not surprised that he's awesome.

437
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 4: I'm a little surprised that their defense has been as

438
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 4: good as Yeah, they had a lot of infections and injuries,

439
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 4: you know.

440
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: Number two on here, the Cincinnati Bengals are the most

441
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 2: disappointing and three team.

442
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 6: Hmm. I guess there's a couple of ways to look

443
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 6: at that.

444
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 4: The fact that they're oh and three is more disappointing

445
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 4: than any other team being oh and three, But the

446
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 4: way they got there hasn't been. Boy, they're terrible. I mean,

447
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 4: they're not doing well, they don't win any games.

448
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: Two of those losses Patriots Patriots in Washington, those are

449
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: not good losses at home.

450
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 6: Patriots and Washington could both have a top five pick.

451
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 3: Right, So here you're here, you're owing three teams.

452
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, since I'm trying to think Jacksonville, Tennessee in the

453
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: a f C.

454
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess my point is, actually.

455
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: Those are the only win there are only three.

456
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 3: I didn't realize there were no winless teams right now

457
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: in the in the NFC.

458
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: But I have way more hope for them than the

459
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: Titans or Jags. That makes them the most disappointing and

460
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: three team.

461
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 6: I guess Jacksonville looks like they don't care. Look you

462
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 6: know what I mean.

463
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: When we were picking who was going to win the

464
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: AFC North, they we both took the Bengals. Yeah, I

465
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 2: don't think that's the case now. I don't think they

466
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: can win a division. No, I think that's probably to

467
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: struggle now to get to get to a playoff spot.

468
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 6: Right at oh and three, Yeah, they get to win

469
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 6: ten more games.

470
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: Because they've lost, They've they've missed two layups at home.

471
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I guess they're the most disappointing. There's only

472
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 4: three to pick from.

473
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't realize.

474
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 6: Jags are really disappointed.

475
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: Jags are disappointing, but I'm not. I'm not surprised.

476
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 6: No, and the Titans don't surprise me at all. No, Right, okay, yeah,

477
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 6: that's fine.

478
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 2: He says that statement is fiction. I don't know about that.

479
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: He says that Jaguars are often a more discouraging start.

480
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, really, their films worse. Yeah, I didn't think.

481
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: I didn't think the Jaguars were a playoff team this year,

482
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: whereas I thought the Bengals.

483
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 6: Were the division winners. Yeah.

484
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 2: People were talking two weeks ago after they played the

485
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: Chiefs about how the how they were the team that

486
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: could beat the Chiefs in the playoffs. Now they're going

487
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 2: to struggle.

488
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 6: Just to get to the playoffs Rowhead Stadium.

489
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, how'd that work out?

490
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 6: He might need a new hairdoo for luck.

491
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 3: H Jayden Daniels is the twenty twenty four Vision version

492
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 3: of C. J. Stroud.

493
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 6: I'm not quite there yet. I'm impressed. I think he

494
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 6: is poised.

495
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 4: He's played a lot of football before he got here,

496
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 4: and that's showing up. And they're coaching him pretty well.

497
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 4: You know, like his accuracy percentage is through the roof,

498
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 4: and I think he had like ninety percent this past week.

499
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: It was like twenty twenty one of twenty three or

500
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: something like that. One of the best offenses in the

501
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: league thus far. I not quite there. He's tough to

502
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: play against, he absolutely is. He's very very impressed.

503
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: Probably tougher to play against it than CJ. Stroud.

504
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: Stroud doesn't run like he does.

505
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 6: CJ. Stroud's a master in the pocket.

506
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: I get it, Yeah, I get it.

507
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying in terms of in terms of

508
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: designing a game plan against like, you have to be

509
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: cognizant of Jade Daniels getting out on the edge.

510
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 4: I mean when he compares them with CJ. Stroud's rookie

511
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 4: year though, I mean that's one of the best rookie

512
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 4: years a quarterbacks had in.

513
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 6: Twenty years, maybe number one.

514
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 4: Doubt, Like, I don't think Daniels will be there when

515
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 4: it's all said and downe.

516
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it'll be a success.

517
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: The one thing I will say about Daniels, Matt Yeah,

518
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: and this is one of the one the knocks you

519
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: had against him. So he if he runs like he

520
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 2: didn't call it, and he's gonna get broken in half. Well,

521
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 2: you saw him slide in things of that nature. Yeah,

522
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: he's been better. He's gotten much better with that. He's

523
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 2: very he's very aware of those kind of things.

524
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 6: I'm sure that's been stressed to him. Yeah.

525
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 4: Good, Yeah, I mean it's he has some of that

526
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 4: Lamar stop start hard to hit stuff for sure. Lamar

527
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: doesn't take many big hits. Yeah, but Daniels took a

528
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:25,959
Speaker 4: lot of big hits at LSU.

529
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh.

530
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: The NFC North is the NFL's best division it has

531
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: been thus far. Yes, yeah, yeah, certainly you can't. You

532
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: can't say it's the AFC North this year.

533
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 6: Right now? Did you take the Bears over the Browns

534
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 6: as the bottom feeders in the divisions? Neither one is

535
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 6: very exciting, but I probably would take the Bears over.

536
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 2: The problem is for the AFC North right now, is

537
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: that the Bengals are below the Browns.

538
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, the Bengals are.

539
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: I mean, if we're ranking those, if we power rank

540
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 4: those eight teams, I think i'd have since he six,

541
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 4: Browns and Bears will still.

542
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 6: Be my life.

543
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 3: Browns and Bears are the last two. Right, But right now.

544
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 6: I wouldn't have the Steelers one.

545
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 3: Troy's number one.

546
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 6: Green Bay would be two for me. I think I

547
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 6: have the Steelers ahead of Minnesota, and I think we

548
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 6: had the three of them. When we talked power.

549
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 4: Ranks yesterday, Yeah, I said something along the lines of

550
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 4: if the Vikings, Steelers, Ravens just put them in a

551
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: bag and shook them up, whatever order they came out,

552
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 4: I've been fine with.

553
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 6: Yeah. So if they're all the same and.

554
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 3: Your top two or top two are there, yeah, And I.

555
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 6: Think the Browns are the worst.

556
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 3: I think they are two.

557
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, just sad.

558
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: Uh.

559
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: Something is a miss with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs

560
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: offense fiction. Well, I think what's a miss with her

561
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: right now is they don't up a checko. I don't

562
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: think Kelsey's the same, and Kelsey's not Kelsey turns thirty

563
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: six next week.

564
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 4: I can't stress this enough. I don't think spending the

565
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 4: offseason on Taylor Swift's eratre is good for being a

566
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 4: good type end.

567
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he has a crazy life. Might if Mahomes

568
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: had done the same thing, it wouldn't be good for

569
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: a quarterbackybody. I mean it's a once in a lifetime thing.

570
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: Go do it, you know, go have wonderful children together.

571
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 2: I don't care one bit.

572
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 4: But in his world is training and working out as

573
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 4: big a deal as it used to be. He's on

574
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 4: every commercial I don't know at his age, and I'm

575
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 4: sure they're saving them to some degree. And Racie Rice

576
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: is the one where running the Kelsey routes. Yeah, they'll

577
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 4: be fine. He called that fiction.

578
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 3: He called that fiction. Yeah, the Vikings are the best

579
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 3: team in the NFC.

580
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 2: That's fishing. No, that's not even close to being the case.

581
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 6: No, I think the Niners are probably better.

582
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: Well, I guess a couple of weeks now I know,

583
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: But I think I think the Vikings lose this week

584
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 2: to the Packers.

585
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 6: I do too. If love goes, yeah, yeah, I do too.

586
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: Is that it for those?

587
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 6: Okay?

588
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: That brings us to the last one, which involves the Steelers.

589
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 2: The Steelers are the most dangerous team in the NFL.

590
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 6: Please explain what's you have to say about that? Does

591
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 6: he have got right up on all these?

592
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

593
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 6: He said.

594
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 3: The Steelers defense is a terror.

595
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: DJ Watt and company have lived in the backfield discombobulating offenses.

596
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh has allowed just twenty six points through three games,

597
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 2: the fewest in the NFL in twenty twenty four and

598
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: the fewest for a Steelers squad since two thousand and seven. Uh,

599
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: they've got what up quarterbacks to the front four that

600
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 2: brings waves of pressure without extra bodies. The Steelers forty

601
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: one point three percent pressure rate with the four man

602
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 2: rush is second in the NFL per Next Gen Stats,

603
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: behind only Houston's forty one point nine percent. The ability

604
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 2: to generate pressure with four provides a major boost to

605
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 2: the defensive backfield. Huge, Yeah, which still has some major questions.

606
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: I don't know that it has. Where are the major

607
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: questions in is Steelers backfield that people were talking about?

608
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't either.

609
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 4: I think people were given Elliott Andante not enough credit.

610
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 4: I mean, I can't verify this, but I retweeted it

611
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 4: a little bit ago that quarterbacks have a thirty five

612
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 4: point eight passer rating whenever they're targeting Dante Jackson. That's

613
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 4: like throwing it in the dirt every play. Ye, I mean,

614
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 4: that's what they really good. He's been really good.

615
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 6: I know that.

616
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: You know, people were saying, well, you know when they

617
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: got him. Yeah, Well, the Carolina Panthers were going to

618
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: cut him.

619
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 6: Well, then they're dumb.

620
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: It's the Carolina Panthers were talking about. We're not talking about, Yeah,

621
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens cutting him. We're not talking about the

622
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: Steelers cutting We're not talking about the forty nine Ers

623
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 2: cutting him. We're talking about a dumb franchise that two

624
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: years ago decided to trade away the first overall picture

625
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: they could go get a quarterback.

626
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: They just benched right.

627
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 4: Right right, And if they would have cut him, a

628
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 4: bunch of teams would have called him and tried.

629
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 6: To get them.

630
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely, there's no doubt about it. He's and all that aside.

631
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: He's been good. Yeah, he's been real good.

632
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 4: When they say dangerous though, that's why I was wanted

633
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: to hear some of the write up, I believe well.

634
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 3: He says.

635
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: He says, he believes it's fiction because the Steelers are

636
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: not the most dangerous team in the NFL. Can the

637
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: most dangerous team be one that averages seventeen points a game?

638
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 3: No? And I agree with that.

639
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 6: With that right, that assumes.

640
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 2: However, that the Steelers are going to continue to average

641
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 2: seventeen points a game all season long, which I believe

642
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: is a false statement, and it would.

643
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 4: Be a little higher if Nausey takes that in the

644
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 4: end zone. Absolutely, seven more points.

645
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, seven more points in three games. Now

646
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: they're averaging about twenty points a game? And are people

647
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 2: talking about that the same way?

648
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 4: I would have written it different and made it a

649
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 4: fact if it was something along the lines of the

650
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 4: Steelers are the team you feel in your bones the

651
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 4: next day more than any of you don't want to

652
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 4: play them, right. It's kind of like remember the Niners

653
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 4: last year or whatever. Everybody the week after the Niners lost,

654
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 4: and you know they beat up their bodies. I think

655
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 4: that's the Steelers now. I mean, and we don't talk

656
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 4: about this enough, and it's maybe a much bigger conversation,

657
00:27:55,040 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 4: but so many defensive coordinators now are spending so much time.

658
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 6: What do we do with the Shanahan offense?

659
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 4: We got to figure out a zig for the zag

660
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 4: for what Shanahan and McVeigh do and all their disciples

661
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 4: that are calling plays all across the league. We called

662
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 4: plays or designs offense like the Steelers do with Asbo Schmith.

663
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 4: It's it's very unique. You don't get fourteen PERSONNELT.

664
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, I mean, I mean, honestly,

665
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 3: I'm the right, exactly very little.

666
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 6: Right.

667
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 2: Half the teams in the league don't even have three

668
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: tight ends on their roster.

669
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 4: The Steelers a five, right, Right. It was kind of

670
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 4: like when Lamar took over for Baltimore. It's like, I

671
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: don't know how to deal with this offense. It's a

672
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 4: lot different than what we see week the week. And

673
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 4: the Steelers have some of that.

674
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 2: A two hundred and forty pound running back, a two

675
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty pound specialist whatever you want to call

676
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: Patterson Patterson, and then another two hundred and twenty pound

677
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: running back.

678
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: There's no little dudes.

679
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 5: No.

680
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 4: So I know Warren got injured, but this is in

681
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 4: the stat pack is Patterson played sixteen plays on Sunday

682
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 4: with either Harris or Warren on the field with him,

683
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 4: and I know he's part receiver. They averaged eight yards

684
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 4: of play in those games.

685
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: And I asked to actually ask Mike Tomlin about that

686
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: at its press conference. I said, Hey, you know, how

687
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: unique is it he always talks about positionless football.

688
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 6: Yeah?

689
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, But typically when you're talking about guys having positionless

690
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 2: football abilities, you're talking about defensive guys. A linebacker that

691
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 2: moves like a safety or a safety that can come

692
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: down and play line things of that nature. You're not

693
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: typically talking about a running back who's a wide receiver

694
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 2: who can They're bringing him into block guys on the

695
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 2: running plays and stuff, like he's a tight end cracking out.

696
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: He's a big dude.

697
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 4: When you see him in person, he's bigger than I thought.

698
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 4: He's not a wirey track athlete guy.

699
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 6: He is a big, physical dude.

700
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 4: He looks like a tight end. And frankly, I don't

701
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 4: I mean, he's proven his career. I don't want to

702
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 4: line him up as an ex receiver and run sixty

703
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: routes of them. He's not good enough at that. But

704
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 4: he can run a full route tree and he has career.

705
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: Right He's lined up in the backfield in his career

706
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: like he's done all these things that they're going to

707
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: ask him to do more. And that's what Tomlin told me.

708
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: He says, Look, because I mentioned like he played wide receiver.

709
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: He had like eight snaps out wide, like five snaps

710
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: in the slot, six snaps in the backfield in the

711
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: last game.

712
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 3: How many who does that?

713
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 6: Who does that?

714
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 5: You? Like?

715
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 4: People are like, well, that's kind of like Debo. You're

716
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 4: not going to give Debo twenty carries in any game ever, No,

717
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? And wide receiver than Patterson. Yeah,

718
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 4: and yeah, Debo can get carries, but you're not going

719
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: to be He was not the feature back for a season, right, Yeah,

720
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 4: that's not how he's built.

721
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 6: You know.

722
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:33,719
Speaker 3: But Tomlin said, hey, we were.

723
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: We were planning on starting to incorporate that him into

724
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: that stuff. Anyways, it wasn't just because of the injury

725
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: stuff that they had last week, which is kind of

726
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 2: what I thought it might be.

727
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 6: He's almost like the six though lineman thing. Yeah, okay,

728
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 6: we got another trick up our.

729
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 3: Weve got this guy. We're going to put him out here,

730
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 3: and now what do you got?

731
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 4: Probably myself included, but in the timing of it being

732
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 4: a minute after the rule got passed about the kickoff,

733
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 4: it's like, well, they're ahead of the game. They got

734
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 4: the best kickoff returner, well Smith all, so he uses

735
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 4: him on offense.

736
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and nobody's kicking the ball to him.

737
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 5: Now.

738
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 2: That might change, That might change in November. In fact,

739
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: I would almost bet that it does. But I talked

740
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: to Danny Smith about that and he said, look, we

741
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: we we're have there been balls that he probably in

742
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: cord Allo Patterson five years ago. Uh, you kick a

743
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 2: ball midway into the end zone, there's a good chance

744
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: he was bringing that out. Yeah, and he's just letting

745
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: the bounce because Danny said, look, we're picking our spots

746
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: with this.

747
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 5: You know.

748
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wants to return the ball, and I want

749
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 2: to see him return the ball. But you know, tell

750
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: me what's the what's the game situation, what's the you know,

751
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 2: what's the score? Where are we at, how's their coverage,

752
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: what's our what's our blocking look like? You know, are

753
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: we looking for a spark? That kind of stuff? And

754
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: he says, right now, we haven't needed to do it.

755
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: He said, I want to see him do it. Yeah,

756
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 2: and I know he's great at it.

757
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 4: But but you started thirty now, which isn't so bad

758
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 4: different than the old time.

759
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 3: You want to kick it and give it give it

760
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: to thirty.

761
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 6: Fine.

762
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I'm glad you mentioned the blocking because

763
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 4: they'll put him in motion going forward and crack down

764
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 4: on d End like a hindes Ward type thing. Yeah,

765
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 4: I think you'll see some of that. Yeah, I mean,

766
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 4: he's a big do. He's a big, strong guy.

767
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 2: So I think the offense is only going to get better.

768
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: Where I was going with this, They're not going to

769
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: average seventeen points a game all season.

770
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 6: I will take the over on that. And I also

771
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 6: think the o Lion will start gelling more.

772
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, So in that regard, I think they will be

773
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: a quote unquote dangerous team, the league's most dangerous team.

774
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: You know, that will be played out over the course

775
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: of the season. But if this team gets starts, gets

776
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: to the point where it's averaging twenty two to twenty three,

777
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: twenty four points per game with this defense continuing to

778
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: play the way it has, yes, they're a very dangerous team.

779
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And I'd put something along lines of, you know,

780
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 4: like Dallas is the upcoming opponent. They're not thrilled about that,

781
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 4: you know, like the other teams aren't thrilled to see

782
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 4: the Steelers on their schedule.

783
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: They just watched the Ravens run the ball forty times

784
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: against them for two hundred yards. Do you think the

785
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: Cowboys want to come, oh boy, now we get to

786
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 2: go play the Steelers. What do you think they're going

787
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 2: to do? Exactly exactly, And they don't have the personnel

788
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: to match up against it.

789
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 6: No, they don't. It's I can get much better for dab.

790
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 3: No, it really isn't.

791
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: But that was the Kevin Patra article on the NFL

792
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 2: dot Com.

793
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he's coming from.

794
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely, but Matt, we gotta get to a break. So

795
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: he is Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lollie. You're listening

796
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: to the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network. Matt

797
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: now will be back with more right after this.

798
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: And this is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

799
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

800
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: Black and Gold car Steelers Nation Radio.

801
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 3: And welcome back. I'm Dale Lolli. He is the Matt

802
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 3: Williamson and Matt.

803
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: Just a couple of weeks ago, the Steelers were able

804
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 2: to bring back Terrell Edmonds this team and resign him

805
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: to the roster and didn't get a hat last week

806
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: against the Chargers.

807
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: But I think we'll see what happens.

808
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: You know, with the injury to Deshaun Elliott, make I

809
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick might want him in helmet because I know who.

810
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 6: You're going with this, which is interesting.

811
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: Make I Fitzpatrick has not had a an interception or

812
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 2: a forced turnover in a Steelers uniform in a game

813
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: in which Terrell Edmonds was not wearing a helmet.

814
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 6: How about that?

815
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 3: So maybe Terrell Edmonds is a but you know, they

816
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 3: did have a.

817
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 6: Good thing going together. Yeah, and there's no question.

818
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 4: And I think him and Elliott will and kind of

819
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 4: like Pierre, pretty fortunate he was out there.

820
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 3: You know, a guy that knows can play.

821
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 6: So at some point they're gonna need him this year.

822
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 6: They were killed for him last year. Yes, Oh when

823
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 6: they got about it.

824
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: In fact, there were people talking about want they trade for,

825
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 2: you know, trade for getting Rall Edwards.

826
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

827
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 2: But yeah, So I had an opportunity to sit down

828
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: and talk with Torrell earlier today.

829
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 3: Good guy, let's hear what he had to say.

830
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: You've had a little bit of time now right to

831
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: settle back in here.

832
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 6: I just fee older kind of be back home.

833
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 5: Man.

834
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 7: It feels good, you know, just coming back and getting

835
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 7: back acclimated to the team, the city, their environment, you know,

836
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 7: the playbook and now just getting back comfortable at doing

837
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 7: what you used to do. So I definitely definitely feel

838
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 7: like I feel good now ready to go out there

839
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 7: and play whenever that time comes and I just go

840
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 7: out there help the team.

841
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 2: Last year in Bosting there a couple of different teams. Mean,

842
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 2: you get trade doesn't happen all that off. You don't

843
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 2: see too many players trades in the NFL.

844
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think that was probably the craziest

845
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 7: part of it, just because you know, we was playing,

846
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 7: we were winning in Philly, we were seven and one,

847
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 7: and then.

848
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 5: It went down tubes that year, I know, I.

849
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 7: Know, crazy seven to one, and then I got traded

850
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 7: to Tennessee and that was probably I've never been traded.

851
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 5: I never had the experience two teams in one year.

852
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 5: That's probably the craziest thing.

853
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 7: But you know, it's just a learning experience, is a

854
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 7: building block, it's something that helps mold your story because

855
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 7: you know, it's just another piece of the puzzle.

856
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 5: Everything is a part of the puzzle.

857
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 7: Everything's trying to make a perfect picture and you constantly

858
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 7: just got to keep.

859
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 5: On putting puzzle pieces together to make it all make sense.

860
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 5: How cool is it we all come back here? Man?

861
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 5: It feels good. You know.

862
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 7: We always joked about it, even when I played these

863
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 7: guys last year when I was with Tennessee, everybody was

864
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 7: telling me come back. Everybody was talking about Thanksgiving because

865
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 7: Thanksgiving was coming up, talking about inviting me to dinner,

866
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 7: just connect the pit and you know.

867
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 5: It just it was a good time.

868
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 7: It felt good last year coming to see everyone and

869
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 7: now just being a part of the team.

870
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 5: It feels even just like.

871
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: Old times, so like ridings and riding a bike to

872
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: get back onto this or with some new nuances and

873
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: things like that.

874
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I really want to say a bike.

875
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 7: I think I say a motorcycle because it's already a

876
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 7: moving train. And you know, I'm not saying that a

877
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 7: motorcycle is more difficult, it's just more so like, man,

878
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 7: we're a little bit more you know what I mean,

879
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 7: we're on point right now, we're three and zero, not

880
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 7: focusing on that, but more so the next game and

881
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 7: constantly just building as a team and figuring out how

882
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 7: I can help the team out.

883
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: You've had a chance to the bels where and then

884
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: come back.

885
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 5: Did you did you get to see any differences between

886
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 5: I mean you in one year you.

887
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: Went to two different places, which is that much different

888
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 2: than him?

889
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 7: I mean everywhere it's different scheme wise, how they run

890
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 7: the team and everything, and each team is different. Some

891
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 7: teams were older when I was in Philly, they were

892
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 7: older than Tennessee. But you know, at the same time,

893
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 7: it was just getting the hold of the playbook and

894
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 7: learning the playbook because each team have a way that

895
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 7: they do the calls, have some new language, have the

896
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 7: way that they play a coverage, and that's the biggest

897
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 7: thing that you have to learn how to play the

898
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 7: coverage that they want you to play and forget the

899
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 7: last one that you were with.

900
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 5: And I think that's the biggest test one from Tennant.

901
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: How uh, how much or how different is your defense

902
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: in terms of they've gottered a bunch of different players

903
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 2: since you were here. You know, you bring in a

904
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 2: Patrick Queen and bringing some of the other guys they

905
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 2: brought in, does just look like the best version of

906
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 2: Steelings defense since you didn't with around this team.

907
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 7: Oh man, I don't know. We got to just see

908
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 7: how to pitch a full out. You know, we had

909
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 7: some good teams. It's hard, you know, we had that

910
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 7: team with not trying to compare the teams, but you

911
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 7: know we had the team with Bud tj to It, Cam, Alex,

912
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 7: Joe Hayden, Steve Nelson, Mike Hilton, me Minka.

913
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 5: Still, so we had us, we had us some good teams. Uh,

914
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 5: this team is just as good as you say.

915
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 7: So we're just gonna see how it all plays out,

916
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 7: and hopefully, you know, right now everything's looking great. We

917
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 7: just gotta keep on building, keep all the noise behind us,

918
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 7: not even worried about or let it get our head big,

919
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 7: and just go out there and play our game each

920
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 7: and every week because every game is a new test.

921
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 6: He has another pick.

922
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 7: Since you've been around, man to man, it's it's rare.

923
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say it's rare. You know he's a great player,

924
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 5: but you know teams avoid him. So I guess that's

925
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 5: the biggest thing.

926
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 7: You gotta do this figure out exactly put itself in

927
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 7: that position. I know he works already, studies hard, so man,

928
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 7: it would be crazy. The first time I put on

929
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 7: my helmet again, he go out there catch one or

930
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 7: two picks.

931
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be so happy. I hope he do it,

932
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 5: because he's gonna hype him up and I'm ready to

933
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 5: see it could be this week. Maybe I know that's

934
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 5: a plan.

935
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 2: And that was a Steeler's safety Terrell Edmunds earlier today,

936
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 2: as mentioned, he said, after we get done, he says, Hey,

937
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 2: if that happens, if I get a helm with this

938
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 2: week and he gets an interception, you got to write that.

939
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I might write it before that. That

940
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: might be part of five for Friday this week, So

941
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 3: we'll see.

942
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 4: Or if Edmunds becomes a starter and all of a sudden,

943
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 4: Minka's you know, lightened it up and back to the

944
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 4: Pro Bowl and all pro it's all Edmunds.

945
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it is.

946
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 2: But as he said, look, team shot, they don't they

947
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 2: don't throw near that guy.

948
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 3: But I think people don't think about that.

949
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: This team this week, this opponent this week could be

950
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: one that just chuck it deep. Anthony Richardson's gonna take

951
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 2: some shots.

952
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially because they're not going to see a lot

953
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 4: of too high. They're gonna see single high. So check

954
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 4: to the bomb. Be careful with that. Yeah, and so

955
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 4: we'll see. I think Maker is a key guy this week.

956
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 6: I do too.

957
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 2: But Matt, that's going to do it for the show today.

958
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,439
Speaker 2: Good stuff absolutely for my partner, Matt Williamson, for Justin

959
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 2: Miller here on site, keeping us on the air, for

960
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: Tyler Rittmeyer, keeping us looking pretty on the video here.

961
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 3: I'm Dale Lolly.

962
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,160
