I'll destroy your curve. 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 3: So I had a brilliant idea last night and it 14 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 3: just happened, total accident, to correlate with the Thursday of 15 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 3: a bye week. So most people know that our lives, 16 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 3: players lives, coaches lives, you know, week the week during 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 3: the season get to be kind a kind of groundhog 18 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 3: day ish, you know, like this Thursday, you and I 19 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: didn't see each other at our normal time. You know, 20 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 3: what's the first time we usually cross paths on a Thursday. 21 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: We do the show on the well. Even before then, 22 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: we do lunch. 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: We do lunch at the facility, and lunch is wonderful, correct. 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: Always, yes, always having in the crew do a great job. 25 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 3: They do a tremendous job. There's cold cuts, there's you know, a. 26 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: Whole salad bars, the salad. 27 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 3: Bar, the berry fruit, neighborhood cookies, soup pizzas. Usually there 28 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 3: everything but the entrees and the sides. But if you 29 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: had to say about that little situation or training camp 30 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: where it's that version even bigger and better that the 31 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: players eat before us, what would you say as a 32 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: staple that is just always a go to the soup, 33 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: the soup. We didn't rehearse this at all, so I 34 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 3: have been thinking, Well, last night it came to me 35 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: in a vision that the Steelers should market their soup. 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: They should. This is super Steeler. 37 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: Soup, the soup the Steelers eat, or Super Steeler Soup, 38 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 3: the soup the players eat, and people would eat it 39 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: like crazy because it's so good. All proceeds go to 40 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Soup kitchen. I mean, tell me the hole 41 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 3: on this plant. You got TJ. Watt on their holding 42 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: the soup, or better yet, Matt and Dale's sitting their 43 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: slurping suit. 44 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: They don't want that. No, they do not want that. 45 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: Their cheeseburger soup is one of the best things on 46 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: the planet. If they just take this idea. I'm hoping 47 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: because on Steeler Nation Radio on a Thursday opening segment, 48 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 3: it's all over Giant Eagle. Before you know it, they 49 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 3: can credit me. 50 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 2: I thought you were coming up with something we could 51 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: talk about that would excite the fans and give us. 52 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: It's gonna change the whole city. I mean, we're not 53 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: even gonna it's gonna make so much money for the 54 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 3: soup kitchen. There will never be a hungry person in 55 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 3: the whole city. And it's gonna go down as the 56 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 3: best soup ever. Why should we keep the secret? You 57 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: don't seem quite as enthralled with me. 58 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: I just don't know the logistics of it all. 59 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: That's someone smarter than us. Will someone listening's going, that's 60 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: a tremendous idea, Matt.

That's where 127 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 2: I thought you. 128 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: Were going with this to somehow tie back to football. 129 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 2: I assumed, as much as being a football show. Silly me. 130 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 3: Sometimes you gotta diverge. I mean, it's a bye week. 131 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 3: If this was week four, I would have brought it 132 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 3: back to football. 133 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: But here's this is my point now, drawing on under 134 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: you your cafeteria analogy, Yeah, what is my not What 135 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: can I count on every day, every every day when 136 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: I step into that cafeteria? What can I count on 137 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: to be good. It's the soup. It's the it's the soup. 138 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: I may not like the entree. The entre may not 139 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 2: be you know, maybe it's something i'd I'm not a 140 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 2: big fan of that. 141 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 3: Most people like it. I don't. Yeah, whatever, Sure that. 142 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: Looks good, but I'm gonna go with the soup today. 143 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 2: What's the foundation of the Steelers offense? 144 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 3: Super Steelers soup, the soup the players eat anyway, it 145 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 3: has to be three or four run plays. Yeah, it 146 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: has to be. I mean that goes back. I cite 147 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: Merrill Hodge a lot on this with that Thursday show, 148 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 3: and he says it all the time. He's like, when 149 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 3: things are bad, Ron Earhart would say, we got to 150 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 3: go back to our bread and butter any offensive coordinator 151 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 3: Merrill was with. And it's not pass plays, it's run plays. 152 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 3: I mean, like, we got to learn that we can 153 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 3: run this play and more often than not get three 154 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 3: to eight yards every time. When things aren't going well, 155 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 3: we come back and get back in our comfy seat 156 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 3: or you know, whatever feels good to us when things 157 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 3: aren't going well, and that has to be the run 158 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: game and everything then can work off that. And I 159 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 3: know that sounds like an antiquated way of looking at things. 160 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 3: You know, this is a quarterback driven league, but sometimes 161 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: this is foundation. You know, you got to get back 162 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 3: to let's get the second and six and then go 163 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: from there. Yeah, and then go from there and then 164 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: everything else going. 165 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: On, and then if we can get the third and two, 166 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: we'll go from there. 167 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 3: We'll go from there. That's better than three and out. 168 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 3: You know when we were in third and twelve, you 169 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: know the last two series. 170 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: Do you think early in a season, much like they, 171 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 2: much like offensive coordinators, to start a game, will often 172 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: put out a lot of different looks and formations to 173 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: see how the opposing defense is going to defend that, 174 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: and then go from there. Well, I know when when 175 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 2: we when we put two tight ends on the field, 176 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 2: this is what they're going to do. We're going to 177 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 2: get this coverage. Well, we're gonna get this this defensive 178 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 2: scheme and and okay, now when I go back to 179 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 2: that later, I know what the I know what their 180 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: default is in that situation. Does some of that go 181 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 2: on early in a football season as well, in terms 182 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: of okay, we're gonna we're gonna put this look on 183 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: the field. And what like when the Steelers go when 184 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 2: the Steelers go to their look, and they did this 185 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: a couple of times on Sunday against the Ravens when 186 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: they put Jalen Warren and Najie Harris on the field together. 187 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: What defenses are teams gonna put on the field in 188 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: that situation? 189 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 3: Like this isn't revealing any secrets, but they've been practicing 190 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: that since Mini camp. Yeah, and we saw a lot 191 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 3: of pony package in training camp. We haven't seen as 192 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: much in the regular season. 193 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 2: A lot of it in training camp was with Anthony McFarlane. 194 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 3: I think book Farlan's the wild card there. Yes, he 195 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: can be a jet sweet guy. He was very impressive 196 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: as a receiver too, So I think there is some 197 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: of that. Like I was just thinking about this today. 198 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 3: The Niners are a great example and the Ravens even 199 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 3: you know they're gonna use a fullback, they're gonna use 200 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 3: two tight ends. Like I'm not avoiding your question, but 201 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 3: I just wanted to throw us out there, Like, if 202 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 3: you play bass, a three to four, a four to three, 203 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 3: you know everyone knows bass four defensive backs on the 204 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 3: field against what most people call a heavy set, you know, 205 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 3: twelve or twenty one, you're really already too slow because 206 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 3: even the fullbacks in today's NFL, they're not Dan Kreiter, Yeah, 207 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And the tight ends aren't 208 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 3: Marcedes Lewis that are two eighty five. The tight ends 209 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: and fullbacks aren't half as good at blockers as they 210 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 3: were in nineteen eighty five, and you're still playing bass 211 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 3: against their twenty one or twelve. 212 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: It's funny you bring it up because I asked Carl 213 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: Dunbar yesterday how Montrevius Adams, who looks nothing like Casey Hampton, 214 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 2: looks nothing like name of Steeler's nose tacker over the 215 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: steat pick one? Yeah, I said, how can he be 216 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: effective as a nose tackle when he doesn't have that 217 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: that classic nose tackle shrilled? 218 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 3: And Alulu is that way too. 219 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a new big thick dude. Yet he said, 220 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: there aren't many teams that just come out with a 221 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 2: fullback all the time and try to and try to 222 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 2: play it. So your nose tackle has to be he 223 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 2: has to be stout, but he also has to be 224 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 2: athletic to be able to everybody run zone Yeah right, 225 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: I mean outside zone stuff. You better be able to 226 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: move as a nose tackle. 227 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 3: Like that's why I brought up the Niners. Like the 228 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 3: Niners have great players, of course they're five, But us 229 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,599 Speaker 3: check is a good blocker for a running back or 230 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 3: a fullback. But he's not krider or he's not Lorenzo O'Neill, 231 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like that this blows up 232 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 3: everybody in front of him like a wrecking ball. Instead, 233 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: he's a better probably receiver than he is blocker. And 234 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 3: as good a blocker's kiddo is so is he? So 235 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 3: like Shanahan wants you to get the whole key is 236 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 3: he wants you to be in base, you know? And 237 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 3: that's why I mean, if you can get to that 238 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 3: point where you can dictate kind of goes back to 239 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 3: your original question. If you can find a package or 240 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 3: even if it's only ten snaps a game where you 241 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 3: can dictate that your opponent is going to be in 242 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: dime or nickel or base. But they don't match up 243 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: to you on the basketball court, right, you know what 244 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 3: I mean? Yeah, that to me is something you can 245 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 3: really build off of. 246 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Steelers, I just don't think that they've 247 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: been able to do that in the you know, in 248 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: their last four games without Deontay Johnson. 249 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 3: And an experienced Quarterbacksher helps too, I know San Francisco doesn't. 250 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 3: But Shanahan's the quarterback there. I mean he's kind of 251 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 3: a pawn, you know, like if it's Rogers or Brady 252 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 3: or Ben or one of those guys. Man, they can't 253 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 3: keep up with us, or they're too big and slow 254 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 3: or they're not heavy enough. I'm not letting them off 255 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 3: the field, you know, I mean some of the stuff. 256 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 3: It's being in stadiums for fifty games in your life 257 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 3: or whatever. Yeah, but yeah, I don't know that they know, 258 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,599 Speaker 3: not necessarily who their best five is. But what is 259 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 3: it they do best? 260 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 4: You know. 261 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: I think that's what you try to figure out early 262 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 2: in the season and. 263 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 3: Then you definitely figure out this week. 264 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I think that's what they figured 265 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: out last year, last year at the buye. Yeah, what 266 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 2: their best package and what their best plays were, and 267 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: then they stuck with that plan. 268 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 3: Super steel sport or soup. 269 00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 2: Not that, not that, But I hear you, you know, well, 270 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 2: I think figuring that out this week and maybe as 271 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 2: we're sitting here now, the coaching staff has been hard 272 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: at work over at the upmc rooney Sports Complex, you know, 273 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: breaking down all the game tape of the first five weeks, 274 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: and maybe they figured it out. Hey, look at okay, 275 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 2: here's what we got. These are the plays that we've 276 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: run each week. This is what they gained. Okay, we've 277 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 2: run this play seven times this year. Because, believe it 278 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 2: or not, folks, NFL teams run the same play over and. 279 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 3: Over again, contrary to popular belief. 280 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: Right, this this nonsense that oh Matt Canada has only 281 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 2: got six plays and he just six formations. They run 282 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 2: the same play three times in the same game. Oh 283 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 2: my god, No kidding that nobody, right? 284 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, how many times have Bette's run the same run? 285 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 4: You know? 286 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 3: I mean pick up six, seven, eight yards? Yeah, that's 287 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 3: not the problem. I mean if you're predictable and they 288 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 3: know it's coming, that's different. That's different, and you still 289 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 3: have to stop it. I mean, the great team there's 290 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 3: teams that knew that Bettess was coming right at them 291 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 3: on ISO or whatever and still couldn't stop it. But 292 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 3: I I've never bet a head coach. I pale in 293 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 3: comparison to Tomlin. We don't have any clue. But if 294 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 3: I was in his shoes. I would have my meeting 295 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 3: right before your break for the buye and I would 296 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 3: tell all my coaches go home with your families. Come 297 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 3: back to me, each one of you, right, not just 298 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: the coordinators, running back coach, everybody. Tell me what we 299 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 3: do best, you know, tell me what we should be 300 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 3: our first building block on both sides of the ball. 301 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: I'm not interested in finding that out coming back because 302 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 2: they practice on Monday. 303 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 3: Well, I mean like come back tomorrow with that? That would 304 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 3: I mean, not like come back in three week. I 305 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 3: mean come back tomorrow with that, go home, have a 306 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 3: great dinner. 307 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 2: Here's the thing. They should be able to tell you that, 308 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: Like if I go to each coach on the staff. 309 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 3: Maybe they just say it like this, yeah, yeah, and 310 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 3: I hope, what do you think we do best? What 311 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 3: do we think we do best? If you were rewriting 312 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 3: the playbook, what's chapter one? 313 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 4: Right? 314 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 3: You know what I mean, I think that'd be really valuable. 315 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 3: And you might get ten different answers. 316 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: You might get ten different answers. You might get ten, 317 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: you might get ten of the same. 318 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 3: Then I think that's good. Yeah, you know, and don't 319 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 3: just give me the answer that we want to hear 320 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: that is chapter one of the playbook. Yeah, because if 321 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 3: we stink at it, we stink at it, you know. 322 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: So No, I think there's something to be said there. 323 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. So I just think that, you know, you get together, 324 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: you pair this stuff down, you figure out what you 325 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: do best. That's that's why to me that the early 326 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: bye week this year in particular not a bad thing. 327 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: No, it's not. I mean I've equated this bye week 328 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 3: so many times to last year's week nine. 329 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: I mean, think about it, if you had if you 330 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: had had the bye week after five weeks last. 331 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 3: Year, That's what I was going to say. 332 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: Maybe things don't quite spiral out of control like they did. 333 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, Boy, it's a leap of faith 334 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 3: to say, boy, the second post buy would be so 335 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: much better. But it might be, you know. I mean, 336 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 3: Tomlin's career winning percentage is better after the bye than 337 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 3: it is for his career. So he does something well 338 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 3: over the course of a very long career to improve 339 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 3: his football team for the remain or that season. So 340 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 3: maybe early buys are good for Tomin. 341 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, last year, that would have been coming out of 342 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: the Bills game, that that would have been a great 343 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 2: time to have a bye week. They did come out 344 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 2: and beat the Buccaneers. 345 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 3: The following week, when was the Eagles compared to them, 346 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 3: I don't remember that. 347 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: That was three games, So they played the Buccaneers, the Dolphins, 348 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: and then the Eagles. If you come out of that 349 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: bye week and you if it had been earlier, you 350 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 2: come out of it, you beat the Buccaneers, then you 351 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: beat the Dolphins because that game was there to win. 352 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 2: And here's the thing, Like everybody says, oh, you can't 353 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: win defense, you can't win games with defense. That Dolphins 354 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 2: offense last year was still pretty good. Oh yeah, yeah, 355 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: maybe not quite to this level. They beat the Steeler 356 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 2: sixteen to ten. They beat the Steelers sixteen to ten. 357 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: That was a defensive struggle. 358 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 3: I mean, you had them where you wanted them to. 359 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you forced them to play the way you wanted 360 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 2: to play. Tyreek and Waddle both played in that game 361 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 2: and neither one of them went crazy. 362 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 3: And we said that all week too, Like I thought 363 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 3: that game, I'm a little rusty, but I thought the Jets, Patriots, 364 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 3: Dolphins were where were the reason he didn't get in 365 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 3: the playoff. 366 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, win one of those games. 367 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 3: You're in of those because it wasn't like, well if 368 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 3: you beat the Eagles, well you had no chance to 369 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 3: be I mean that that game wasn't competitive. Now, I 370 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 3: don't know if they would have had to buy after 371 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 3: you know, in Week five last year, do you end 372 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 3: up with a win in Miami or not? Who knows? 373 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 2: Given the way that they played post by. 374 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 3: Right, you would think that your chances are better. 375 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 2: I think your chances are much better. 376 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you control the ball for two more 377 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 3: minutes on the. 378 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 2: Clock or yeah, you run the ball much more effectively 379 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 2: and you're. 380 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 3: Not turning it over. Yeah, I mean I can't remember 381 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 3: how many turnovers were in that game, but I think 382 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 3: there was a couple. 383 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 2: Well pick it had a three three. 384 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 3: I think that threw two or three. 385 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 2: He threw two in the end zone. It was three overall, 386 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 2: but he was They were throwing into the end zone 387 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 2: in the final four minutes on two separate occasions, and 388 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 2: he got intercepted. Yes, they shut down Miami's offense and 389 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 2: that came. 390 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 3: Right right, And it's not this version, but it's still 391 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 3: Tyreek and Waddle. 392 00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: And Tua was quarterback. 393 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they were putting up points. So no, I 394 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 3: hear you. I was thinking that too, Like what if 395 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: it was earlier last week? Maybe? I mean, I'm open 396 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: to that, but I do think there's something too. Let's 397 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,959 Speaker 3: regroup and really make this extra time work. Yeah, and 398 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 3: Richards the batteries a little bit. I guess the flip 399 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 3: side is you hope you don't wear out in week fourteen. 400 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 2: Well, I think those those couple of Thursday night games 401 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: that they have coming up where they get the mini 402 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 2: buys should help that. 403 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: I would think, I would think, especially if you win that. 404 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: Game and that's why they have the soup you like 405 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 2: that you're buying in. 406 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 3: I missed it today. 407 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: Anyways, with that, we're going to take a break.

How are you, my friend? 423 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: It is a bye week, so you're not living in 424 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 2: your fears this week. 425 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 4: No, And that was a heck of an introduction there. 426 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 4: Dale was almost like, you know, the start of a 427 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 4: WWE match in this corner. You know, it's right, you know, 428 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 4: the bye week is it's nice. You can't you can't 429 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 4: lose and nobody can get injured. I mean all a 430 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 4: lot of times navigate an NFL regular season is about 431 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 4: avoiding negative things. Is a guaranteed on non loss, injury 432 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 4: free weekend of an NFL regular season, and so you know, yay, 433 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 4: and who knows, maybe you get Deontay Johnson back, and 434 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 4: you know, I think that that could be significant for 435 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 4: the offense. 436 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. We've talked about that a lot this week, Bob, 437 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: and I think a lot of people are kind of 438 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 2: overlooking the fact, like Matt and I went through what 439 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 2: day was that Monday or Tuesday? 440 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 3: Monday? 441 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: We went through every AFC team and said, if you 442 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: took the number one receiver, number one, whether it be 443 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: a tight end such as Travis Kelsey, the number one 444 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: pass catcher, out of any offense, what would that offense 445 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: look like would it would it be able to function? 446 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: And there's a lot of them that would not. They 447 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: would be in deep trouble. 448 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 4: Well, and let me say, you know, beyond the production 449 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 4: that you not having Deyontay Johnson, I mean, what he 450 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 4: allowed you to do on offense was, you know, informations, 451 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,239 Speaker 4: you could have a bunch, you know, that's how they 452 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 4: refer to him, a bunch onto one side and a 453 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 4: single guy to the other side. And you could put 454 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 4: Beyontay Johnson out there by himself and he can win. 455 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 4: And that's that's a tremendous asset in my opinion, for 456 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 4: a second year quarterback. And you know, Deontay Johnson is 457 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 4: the only guy the Steelers had who could create separation 458 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 4: on his own. No teams, no concepts, You just line 459 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 4: them up me on you And that's kind of what 460 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 4: you have to do with a single guy on one 461 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 4: side if there's a bunch on the other side, and 462 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 4: he wins, and so you know, I think that that 463 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 4: would help pick it because he would know, you know, 464 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 4: if whatever you think you have or or should have 465 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 4: on the concept side, if that isn't there right now, 466 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 4: you could go to the other side and eighteen is 467 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 4: gonna win, you know, throwing the ball out in a 468 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 4: lot of cases, not every time. I'm sure, nothing as 469 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 4: one hundred percent, but I mean it is a much 470 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 4: higher percentage option than anything he had out there without 471 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 4: Deonta Johnson on the field. 472 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, thats one hundred percent. 473 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 4: Agree. 474 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 3: And our opening segment was an unusual one, but eventually 475 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 3: it got to the point where we were talking about, 476 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 3: you know, what can you count on on offense? What's 477 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 3: the foundation? And as you were saying that, I'm sitting 478 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 3: here thinking I should have said this first segment that 479 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 3: Deontay gives Picketts some layups, you know in the passing game. 480 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 3: I mean, they don't have to be thirty yard games, 481 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: but they move the chains, they keep you out of 482 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 3: you know, second and long. This passing game could use 483 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 3: some layups exactly. 484 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 4: And you know something, I think we talked about this 485 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 4: a couple of weeks to go. You know, some bread 486 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 4: and butter. What is it? And you've got to have something, 487 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 4: especially this far into it. You know, you're five games in, 488 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 4: you should have a couple of I mean even three 489 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 4: or four plays, maybe a couple of runs, a couple 490 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 4: of throws that you can go to with a high 491 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:25,959 Speaker 4: expectation of. I don't know that success is necessary, but competence, 492 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 4: you know, so second and eight doesn't become second and 493 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 4: fourteen something in eight becomes third and two, you know 494 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 4: that kind of thing. So yeah, and I really believe 495 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 4: that for this offense, you know, improvement is going to 496 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 4: be incremental. I mean, there's not going to be any 497 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 4: They're not going to come back from the buys, the 498 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 4: eighty four Dolphins or anything. I mean, you know, you know, 499 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 4: it's it's just not that. 500 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 5: And there's a lot of area is that need improvement obviously, 501 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 5: But I just think that that addition or re addition 502 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 5: or reinsertion of a guy that you were counting on. 503 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 4: Can can be huge for the quarterback. Just as as 504 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 4: as we were just saying, it kind of gives you 505 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 4: something that you can call bread and butter butter or 506 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 4: and Matt and your terminology layups. You know, you've got 507 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 4: to have some lamps. 508 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 2: And in the meantime, you know, while Deontay was out, 509 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: I think you learned some things about some of the 510 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: other guys. I think I think you can you can 511 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 2: look at it that way across the board, not just 512 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: not having Deontay, but not having Cam Hayward. You know, 513 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 2: you learn some things about Broderick Jones this past weekend. 514 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 2: We've learned some things about about Joey Porter Jr. For example, 515 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 2: in these first five games, Pickens Pickens was where I 516 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 2: was going immediately with this. You've learned some things about 517 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 2: George Pickens is like, now, if you're an opposing defense, 518 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: I mean, George Pickens is averaging about eighty yards per 519 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 2: game when Deontay Johnson was out, and he showed teams 520 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 2: that hey if if if you don't, if you're not careful, 521 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 2: he's gonna beat you over the top. 522 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. And you know again it's you know, when you 523 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 4: add a weapon, either offensively or defensively, you know, you 524 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 4: force the opponent to adjust and whatever kind of layups 525 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 4: or bread and butter Deontay Johnson would be providing, defenses 526 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 4: aren't going to have to adjust to that eventually, and 527 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 4: then that just should allow pickings, uh some more opportunities 528 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 4: to do his thing or let me say this, do 529 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 4: his thing versus you know, less stacked defenses against him. So, 530 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 4: you know, again incremental. I think. I still think when 531 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 4: you're looking at the offensive line, it's a little bit 532 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 4: leaky at times. You know, there's I think the work 533 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 4: well and it's the rain, so there is that. But 534 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 4: you know, there was some leakage in the interior against Baltimore, 535 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 4: and as I said, you know that's Baltimore, but leakage 536 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 4: in the interior is bad. Period. 537 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 2: Well, I think some of that might change too with 538 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 2: the with the return of Deontay, we might start seeing more, 539 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 2: you know, too high against the Steelers because you have 540 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: to keep a safety over top of both of those receivers. 541 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 2: If you've got Pickings on one side and Deontay on 542 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: the other, and you don't want to leave somebody in 543 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 2: single single coverage on those guys, you're gonna put a 544 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 2: safety over the top of both of them, and that 545 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 2: takes the safety out of the box. 546 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know again trickle down. So but again 547 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 4: I don't want this to come across as me. This 548 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 4: isn't gonna be easy. Let me automatic, it's got an 549 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 4: automatic just put them out there and all this stuff 550 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 4: starts flapping. 551 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: But we only got to see it for a half 552 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 2: against the San Francisco forty nine ers, who, low and behold, we've, 553 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 2: if we've figured out, are pretty damn good. 554 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, right right, And and an offense usually isn't, you 555 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 4: know at that stage of a season. So yeah, I'm 556 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 4: gonna be interested to see some of that. You know that. 557 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 4: The I thought. The other thing from the Ravens game 558 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 4: that I want to see more of and more consistently 559 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 4: is the what you got from your inside linebackers. Yeah. Yeah, 560 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 4: I thought these guys. I thought those guys really acquitted themselves. Well, 561 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 4: you know, the use of Mike tumminism, the pile was 562 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 4: falling in the right direction, you know. I thought it 563 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 4: was Chris. I thought it was Holcomb's best game. Cole 564 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 4: Holcomb's best game. Good too. 565 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I mean they've they've they're already they've already 566 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,479 Speaker 2: made more splash than the guys last year. 567 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 3: Last year. I'm close. 568 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 4: Well again, I mean, I that's that's certainly a bonus. 569 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 4: But what I really liked was, you know, was that 570 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 4: the tackling was crisp. Yeah, you know, guys were in 571 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 4: the right spots. They weren't. They didn't get handled physically. 572 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 4: I mean against the Texans that that defense got handled physically. 573 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 4: That didn't happen against the Ravens. You know, nobody had 574 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 4: Nobody from Baltimore had fifty yards rushing. They were about 575 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 4: twenty five or thirty under the per game average total. 576 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 4: You know, So again, I liked it, but it's something 577 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 4: that you're going to have to have now consistently. I don't. 578 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 4: I don't think this team can. You know, people look 579 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 4: at the Rams record and say, oh man, this is 580 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 4: an easy game here. I don't. I don't see it 581 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 4: that way. I don't. I don't think the Steelers can 582 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 4: look at any game that way. And if they don't, 583 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 4: and you know, they have to perform to a certain level, 584 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 4: they have a chance. But just as they you know, 585 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 4: there's a chance they could win every time they go 586 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 4: out there. Look at the rest of the schedule pretty 587 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 4: much they could lose anyone to fuckle your seatbelt. An 588 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 4: interesting a few weeks they're coming up. But you know, 589 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 4: that's welcome to the National Football League, boys and girls. 590 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 4: This is this is why that the whole thing is 591 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 4: constructed as it is with the draft Waiver Wire claims 592 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 4: salary cap. This is what the design was. It was 593 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 4: Pete Rosella originally, but then tagging now ronch Giebell. You 594 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 4: want just about every fan base, every city NFL city 595 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 4: to be either complaining about the team or excited about 596 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 4: the team, or you know something, and everyone kind of 597 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 4: has a little bit of everything you know to go forward. Here, 598 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 4: let me let me give you this here just as 599 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 4: as I found this on the internet early in the week. 600 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 4: I'm gonna read you a paragraph that I found. Okay, 601 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 4: here we go. There aren't enough fingers and toes to 602 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 4: point out the problems. Coaches keep making bad decisions. Receivers 603 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 4: can't catch or stay healthy. The quarterback melts down under pressure. 604 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 4: Offensive linemen can't pass block, the defense can't come up 605 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 4: with key third down stops in crunch time. Okay, so 606 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 4: I'm familiar. 607 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Patriots. 608 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 4: No, that was Mike preston the ball little more sun 609 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 4: on Monday about what he saw in the press box 610 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 4: at Acresser Stadium. Okay, So I mean seriously, that's that 611 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 4: sounds like a tailgate as stadium on Sunday, lady or 612 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 4: early evening. I mean, that's exactly what you would have 613 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 4: been hearing around the campfire or whatever, those kinds of things. 614 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 3: Fifteen different cities of beat writers can cut and paste 615 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 3: that and do it next month. 616 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 4: And that's the point, right, that's exactly what they're looking for. 617 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Matt and I do that every Tuesday when we 618 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 2: go over the power rankings at NFL dot com puts out. 619 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 2: We get to that point it's like, okay, there there 620 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 2: are like these six or eight however many just awful 621 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 2: teams in the league right now, and then there's those 622 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 2: fifteen or so teams in the middle that are that, 623 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 2: and then there's like six good teams that are just like, okay, 624 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 2: these teams don't have nearly as many problems as the 625 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 2: other teams. 626 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 4: Until until or if their quarterback. 627 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 2: Got hurt, correct changes. 628 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:14,239 Speaker 4: There you go, because everybody's one injury away, you know, 629 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 4: from being I don't know if it was gone to 630 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 4: Walker well relegated, but anyway, and like I said, buckle 631 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 4: the seatbelts. It's going to be interesting, and you know, 632 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 4: ride the highs and lows best as you can. Everybody 633 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 4: out there. Room gets better. I'll meet you at the railing U, 634 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 4: the Fort and game Bridge will go into the Ohio River. 635 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 3: Together labs real quick them. I've been kind of lobbying. 636 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 3: We're not in those position rooms, so I don't know 637 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 3: what the young players know and don't, but the three 638 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 3: of us have been around the block and we watch 639 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 3: things and done for a living for a long time. 640 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 3: I'm lobbying coming out of the the buy that this 641 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 3: draft class, the rookie class, needs to be leaned on more. 642 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 3: I mean, I want to see Jones as the starting 643 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 3: left tackle, Porter as a starting outside corner. We know 644 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 3: we're gonna get more Washington by default. I wanted to 645 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 3: hire snapcownt for Benton. 646 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 2: Are you there yet? 647 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that because the seasons shot and 648 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 3: we got a youth movement. It's just time for these 649 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 3: guys to step up. 650 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 4: Yes, And that's I was going to say. You know, 651 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 4: their continued increase in participation is going to be dependent 652 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 4: on how they how productive they are as it's gradually increased. 653 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't disagree with anything you're saying, but 654 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 4: you know, you know we're not this isn't this isn't August. 655 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 4: I mean, we're not just playing these young guys to 656 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 4: see what they can do. I do believe that. You know, 657 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 4: the idea is to try and find things that they 658 00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 4: can do well, uh, and then implement those because you know, 659 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 4: their talent should then carry the day. But I'm not. 660 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 4: You know, they're they're gonna get a chance. But I'm not, 661 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 4: and i'm not. I'm not predicting failure for anybody either. 662 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,959 Speaker 4: I don't. I don't want to come off that way. 663 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 4: I'm just saying I agree with the sentiment in that, yes, 664 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 4: it's time for these guys, as you said, you know, 665 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 4: you know, step up and and and be a factor. 666 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 4: But if they're not, then I'm not playing them just 667 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 4: because they're young guys. 668 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, and you're not. You're not just throwing them 669 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 2: in there to see what they can do. That's the 670 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 2: one that drives me crazy. Let's just put them in 671 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 2: there and see what they can do. 672 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 3: Best outside corner. 673 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 4: Well, again, yes he is until he's not. He shows 674 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 4: that he's If he shows that he's not, then you know, 675 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 4: you make a change, you know. That's that's that's my 676 00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 4: point about about all of this. 677 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I Taylor got benched at one in his career. 678 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 2: It happens. 679 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 3: I'm not suggesting he were to shut down Devonte Adams 680 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 3: or you know, no, I know, I get. 681 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 4: It, You're you're not gonna you're not gonna try and 682 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 4: you know, uh turn him into you know, I don't 683 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 4: know Rod Woodson or something, uh in terms of what 684 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 4: you would ask him to do. But you know, again, 685 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 4: and I'm as I said, I'm not predicting failure for 686 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:31,760 Speaker 4: any of these guys. But corners are I mean really great, 687 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,760 Speaker 4: really great corners look really bad and you know, that's 688 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 4: just what it is. So if if that happens, uh, 689 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 4: and there's a again I don't foresee it, but if 690 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 4: that happens, then you have to go to something that 691 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 4: gives the team the best chance to win. I'm not 692 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 4: interested in seeing anyone when when there are legitimate auctions 693 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 4: now and I think as you get later into the season, 694 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 4: with more playing time for a lot of different guys, 695 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 4: there are more realistic options she can look at. And 696 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 4: this is any area you can look at, different personnel 697 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 4: groups or you know, groups of guys, who do you 698 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 4: want to use, how do you want to use and 699 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 4: those kinds of things, especially defensive facts because I really 700 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 4: don't know what to expect. Let's pretend, Okay, I'll give 701 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,919 Speaker 4: it to you, Matt and Joey Porter Jr. Is exactly 702 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 4: what we believe or suc seen or hope him to 703 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 4: be starting October. What's that twenty second against the rais 704 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,439 Speaker 4: twenty fourth? Whatever it is? Okay, Now, what's the rest 705 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 4: of it going to look like? And I'm not challenging 706 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 4: you to no, No, I get that, but I'm just curious, okay, uh? 707 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 4: And is that helpings it? 708 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 3: Differently? Like I'm starting Jones against the Rams, I'm starting 709 00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,080 Speaker 3: Porter against the Rams. In half of it's because I 710 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 3: know what Dan Moore, Wallace and Peterson are and I'll 711 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 3: take my chances with door number two. And I've been 712 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 3: lucky enough to peak behind door number two and I 713 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 3: liked what I've seen so far. 714 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I get that you'll pull them at the 715 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 4: start of the second quarter either. I mean, they have 716 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,239 Speaker 4: to be given an opportunity to play and you get 717 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 4: into the rhythm of things and all that kind of stuff. 718 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 4: But again, okay, let's you started Porter, Okay, what's the 719 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 4: rest of it look like? 720 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 2: That's the problem, And it comes it comes down to 721 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 2: just what Matt just said, when he said, you know, 722 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 2: I know what more Wallace and Peterson. Peterson are Joey 723 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 2: Porter can only take one of those spots. 724 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 4: I get it. 725 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 2: And so who's the other guy to get you? Who 726 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 2: are you putting and who you're putting on the bench. 727 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 2: That's that becomes the question. 728 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 4: Then well I'm king and you know, and the other 729 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 4: and the other thing is because this is no nun 730 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 4: explained this to me one time. You know, when when 731 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 4: people want to you know, match up with cornerback, a 732 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 4: cornerback on a receiver, you know, follow a guy all 733 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:14,760 Speaker 4: all around, well that's fine and that matchup specific matchup 734 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 4: could be in your favor whichever way you want it 735 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 4: to be, But the other people have to then assume 736 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:31,760 Speaker 4: the whatever the defensive integrity is in that area and 737 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 4: not you know, box and ones are great, you know, Dale, 738 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 4: you're a basketball player. Box and ones are great, and 739 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 4: you can stop the guy that you're boxing, But what 740 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 4: about the other guys right? 741 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 3: And the Steelers don't do that. They're a left right team. 742 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 3: I mean, Porter would be the left corner and you 743 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 3: hope he's better than what they've been playing with. 744 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, but okay, and again, yes you hope he's. But 745 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 4: you also have to be careful of or think about 746 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 4: which going to do with the rest of the people. 747 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 2: Right, because that's still matters, right, Okay, wor's Minka. 748 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 4: You know again, I'm not I'm just saying that needs 749 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 4: to be discussed or figured out or something, because you 750 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 4: know that there's other significant individuals in that group that 751 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 4: you want to you want to continue to maximize as well. 752 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 4: You know, I can see absolutely what you're saying about, 753 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 4: we're better with this guy instead of that guy. Okay, fine, 754 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 4: that's good. Now you also need them to add on 755 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 4: to the overall improvement by continuing to get from your 756 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 4: other people. You know what you're getting from them, you know, 757 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 4: whatever you do, for example, better not mess with TJ Wytt. 758 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 4: You know, as an example, you know what I mean, 759 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 4: you don't want to mess whatever we're doing, whatever he 760 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 4: needs or you know, we're not going to get his way. 761 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 4: Let's let me say like that. And that's kind of 762 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,439 Speaker 4: what I mean in terms of the secondary because there's 763 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 4: other people, as I mentioned, just like Minka, what are 764 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 4: we going to do, how are we gonna utilize him 765 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 4: to maybe enhance his opportunities to think? Because he's a 766 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,280 Speaker 4: great ballhawk. You know. I love the fact of having 767 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:23,839 Speaker 4: him in that role because I really think it's it 768 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,799 Speaker 4: messes with the opposing quarterbacks head. 769 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, Well, Bob, we got to get to 770 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 2: a break.

That's right, you guys trying to 773 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 4: do the same. Uh. And there there's one last thing. 774 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 4: I think the best game of the weekend is going 775 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 4: to be the one on at nine point thirty in 776 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 4: the morning. 777 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 2: It's going to be an interesting one. I know that. 778 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,879 Speaker 4: Yeah. Uh, I'm just a little disappointed that the Titans 779 00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:00,800 Speaker 4: aren't going until late in the week because usually teams 780 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 4: that do that have trouble with the time change in London. 781 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:03,919 Speaker 2: Yeah. 782 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 3: One of the course of Bengals Seahawks too, Yeah. 783 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 2: Bengals Seahawks a good one, of course. The uh the 784 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 2: Browns play the forty nine ers. That should be Uh. Well, 785 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,360 Speaker 2: I was gonna not gonna be real interesting. 786 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 4: No, I hope it's what what you know, we expect 787 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 4: it to be. I hope it's every. 788 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 2: Bit of that that has been Bob Labriola our special 789 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,240 Speaker 2: guest there. He is Matt Williamson.

I would have liked to have seen 806 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 2: Tennessee go over there earlier as well. 807 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 4: Yeah. 808 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 3: I think that's a bigger deal than people really. Yeah, 809 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 3: I hurt Buffalo. 810 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 2: I thought it hurt Buffalo immensely, although Jacksonville had already 811 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 2: been over there for two weeks, so that really was 812 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 2: gonna I don't know if Buffalo going over at any period. 813 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 3: That they were, no doubt. I don't know if Bob 814 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 3: mentioned this or if you know this, but I think 815 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 3: the Ravens went over Monday. 816 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 2: They went over Monday. 817 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's what I would do. I think 818 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:53,240 Speaker 3: that's smart. 819 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 2: I saw some stuff like Lamar talking about, you know, 820 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 2: going out walking around this. I don't know if that's 821 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 2: good or bad. Like, I don't know what the right 822 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 2: answer was with that, but I do know that getting 823 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 2: there earlier is better. 824 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 3: So I guess there was a This is third hand information, 825 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 3: but I think there was an interview with Josh Allen 826 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 3: and he said, well, I couldn't sleep on the plane. 827 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,360 Speaker 3: I don't sleep on planes. Well, so I'm chugging coffee 828 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 3: like crazy just to get things done. And I was 829 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 3: a zombie, you know, and they played better as a 830 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 3: game and on. But that adds up. It takes perfect sense, right. 831 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I thought that Jacksonville would at least 832 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 2: cover in that game. Win was unexpected, but yeah, you'll 833 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 2: take it Deshaun Watson's still not practicing today that he's 834 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 2: not he's not going to play. 835 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 3: They're losing. 836 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 2: They might get curb stumped in. 837 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 3: That Game's I think they lose by twenty or more. 838 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 2: It might be thirty or forty. 839 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 4: Yeah. 840 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, like they don't have They don't have a functional quarterback. 841 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 3: That's the thing. And it'd be different if you had 842 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 3: Chubb and you had what we talked about, the start 843 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 3: showside soup foundation, you know what I mean, they could 844 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 3: at least hand at the Chubb play defense. Hope you 845 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 3: get bounce, pick up an on side kick. 846 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if they score. 847 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 3: I don't know where the offense comes from. 848 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 2: They had three points against the Baltimore in a twenty 849 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,480 Speaker 2: eight to three loss at home with it. 850 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 3: To be a different quarterback, but I don't think it. 851 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,240 Speaker 2: Matters against a much better defense, so much better defense. 852 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think they're in huge trouble. I don't 853 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 3: think it's crazy to think the division could go oh 854 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:19,879 Speaker 3: in three. 855 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 2: It's not crazy. No, no, it's not crazy at all. 856 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 2: And again that would be great for the Steelers. 857 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 858 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,839 Speaker 2: When when Bob talks about the week off and you're 859 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 2: not Yeah, you're not winning a game, but you're not 860 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,439 Speaker 2: losing a game, and you're not getting anybody hurt. 861 00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 3: You could go up in the standings though. 862 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I mean they're already in first place. 863 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, they could the gap. It could be a better 864 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 3: shape in the division without a doll. Yeah, without a doll. 865 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 3: Like since he to me right now is the best 866 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 3: team of the division, I'm I'm almost there, And that's. 867 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,880 Speaker 2: Kind of like you're way ahead of that on me. 868 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 3: Impressed with the other three, I. 869 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,840 Speaker 2: Get it, but I Cincinnati the first four weeks happened. 870 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 3: I know. That's what my point. 871 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,720 Speaker 2: One great week against maybe a team that we thought 872 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 2: was the worst team in the league. I know, does 873 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 2: not prove anything to me. 874 00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 3: Hear me out, Okay, Okay, I think if you told 875 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 3: me right now who's the best team in the division, 876 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,839 Speaker 3: if we power ranked the division, I would put Cincinnati one. 877 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 3: On October twelfth, or whatever the heck it is. It 878 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 3: is October, it's Thursday the twelfth, which means Friday the 879 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:18,279 Speaker 3: thirteenth is tomorrow. Anyway, I still think they're not as 880 00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,320 Speaker 3: good as Seattle, so I know it's in their building 881 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,080 Speaker 3: and they're favored, But if they lose that game. I 882 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 3: don't care if they're the best team in the division. 883 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 3: They're in a monster hole. Yeah, you know what I mean. 884 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 3: So they better win. 885 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 2: That game with Buffalo and Kansas City staring them in 886 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 2: the face coming out of their bye week. 887 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,320 Speaker 3: So Seattle's coming off of bye unlike most West Coast teams, 888 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 3: and this is a huge body of work. Pete Carroll's 889 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,239 Speaker 3: does really well at one o'clock on the East. 890 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:49,320 Speaker 2: They're like fifteen and two in their last last seventeen 891 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,919 Speaker 2: games in the East Coast Eastern time zone. 892 00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 3: What I had heard was there like eighty percent against 893 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,759 Speaker 3: spread with Pete Carroll. They just win out right, yew 894 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 3: and they know that they're winning percentage is really good too. 895 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 3: Like that's a really tough game for the Bengals. And 896 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 3: I think the Browns are gonna lose. I mean, I 897 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:04,840 Speaker 3: think everybody's. 898 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 2: Gonna think the Browns are. I know the Browns are 899 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:07,320 Speaker 2: gonna lose. 900 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 3: And Baltimore after a physical Pittsburgh game, having to deal 901 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 3: with Derrick Henry and Rabel and I mean I would 902 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 3: pick them to win. 903 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 2: They went home. The Ravens went home after that game 904 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,839 Speaker 2: against the Steelers. Then they had to immediately turn around 905 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 2: the next morning and fly to London stewing about this 906 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 2: loss to the Steelers. I'm sure the entire like you 907 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,879 Speaker 2: got twelve hours together on a plane. Do you think 908 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 2: get this? 909 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 3: Why do you catch that when you block in all you're. 910 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 2: All spending all that time in a hotel in London. 911 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 3: Then you're happier there. I mean, like you said, I 912 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 3: think it's better to go early than late. But that's 913 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 3: not an easy turn of events. And then they don't 914 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 3: they don't have a buy next week. 915 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:47,879 Speaker 2: Then they don't have a buy next week. 916 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 3: At least they're paying at home. But yeah, Tennessee's a 917 00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,440 Speaker 3: physical team. I mean, we all know the records of 918 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 3: Ravens and Steelers. After Ravens and Steelers, isn't good? 919 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, it should be interesting. I'm fast. I'll be fascinated 920 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 2: to watch those games. But let's get to a another break. 921 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 2: Here he is Matt Williamson. I am Dale, Lollie. You're 922 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 2: listening to the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. We 923 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 2: come back, it'll be time for the Fantasy Football Focus. 924 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 2: We will do that right after this
