1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Drive. I'm Dale Ally here with Matt

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: Williamson and Matt It's Thursday, and uh, some good and

5
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: some bad news for the Steelers today on the practice field.

6
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: First of all, Ben Roethlisberger. Uh, he was a full

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: participant yesterday, they listened to him as that it was

8
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: a walkthrough. Today was listed as limited, so that's not

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: really a downgrade. Joe Hayden, however, practice today they had

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: a full practice day indoors. Buddy Johnson back is a

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: full participant, which is good news considering what happened this

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: more earlier today or yesterday as well. But they get

13
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys now on the COVID list. Yeah,

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: we're starting to add some names to that list now

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. Dan Moore Junior limited today with

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: an illness. Although it's not yet COVID, we don't know yet,

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: but anytime now somebody misses something with an l He

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: was at practice and then and then left. Yeah, so

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: he was listed as limit. He had some kind of

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: symptom and I'm not gonna play doctor. But what are

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: the sun what are the symptoms of COVID? Everything everything? Yeah,

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: arch COVID. So I mean I guess we have to

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: worry about more a little bit. Yeah, that's a concern now. Um.

24
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: You know, Uh, Pat Friarmouth still not back at practice,

25
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: and that does to me, the fact that he was

26
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: not able to practice today. I would not expect to

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: see Pat Fiarmouth in You've explained that over the years

28
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: really well, the whole concussion protocol, which seems like old

29
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: news compared to the COVID protocol. Um. But if he's

30
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: not practicing by now, it's slim and not. Yeah. Yeah,

31
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: especially for a road team, but they were at home.

32
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: It might be he might have a better chance. But

33
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: he has not any activity. He hasn't had the activity

34
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: started step step one of the clock. Yeah. So that's

35
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: a blow. It is a blow. And and so as

36
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: we sit here now, the Steelers uh added a couple

37
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: more guys to the COVID list. And that list now

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: CONSI it's not the whole list. It's not Devin Bush,

39
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: it's Zach Banner, Marcus Allen, Um montrevious Adams along with

40
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: Malcolm Pridgeon, Um two notes there though, I mean Buddy

41
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Johnson may see the field if Alan and Bush aren't available.

42
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: It a minimum, me gets a hat and Isaiah Bugs

43
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: went on this more Isaiah Bugs And who's the other one?

44
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: I know? I now forget um. So many some of

45
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: these are that list in Genlemthan mcfarlanm was the other one. Okay,

46
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: he's not usually active anyway, but none of those names

47
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: are shattering. It's not tyreek Hill and Travis cal It's

48
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: not a lot of front line players. But you're deaf.

49
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: Now starts to get right. If we assume Fryar moves out,

50
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: if Buddy's gonna get his first action, good and bad? Ugly?

51
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: Who knows um and at least on special teams. But

52
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here thinking, well, what if Dan Moore can't

53
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: be the left tackle, you don't have the option of

54
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: Banner still left, and you also have two nose tackles

55
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: you know listed here too. Now you're probably looking at Uh.

56
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: You're probably looking at Joe Haggett left tackle, potentially um

57
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: In leaving chokes on the right side. Now you're short

58
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: attackle Now you probably have to bring Chaz Green up

59
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: from the don't have any depth. Your depth again is

60
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: again Kevin Dotson is back practicing again, but they haven't

61
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: activated him from the from the from I R. They

62
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: haven't started that yet, So once again your offensive long time.

63
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: You can't play tackle. Canny, He's he's actually when he

64
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: was listed, he was listed as a tackle. He came

65
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: out he's probably better off served as a guard, an

66
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: interior guy. They moved him when he came to camp

67
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: leglu was a tackle tackle. He ends up because he

68
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: could play center and they had some injuries there. He said,

69
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: oh I can do that, so they moved him to center.

70
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: That's how he makes the roster. He would not have

71
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: made the roster probably as a tackle. Yeah. So yeah,

72
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: he can play tackle, but as Chris Rock says, you

73
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: can drive a car with your feet too, And that

74
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's a great idea, but that is a

75
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: beauty for the glue going forward. Oh he's got the

76
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: wonderful because you had on game day. Yeah. I don't

77
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: like any of that, to be honest. I mean, they're

78
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: not earth shattering names, but it's not wonderful. You're playing

79
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: a really good team, I guess. I mean, much like

80
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: Hill and Kelsey banners not ruled out yet, you know

81
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: some of the earlier ones in the week. Yeah. Again, No,

82
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: I do worry about the bigger guys, Yeah, getting back

83
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: in time with that, that kind of stuff. Chiefs did

84
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 1: get a big guy back there though, Chris Jones. Yeah,

85
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: and I thought that, you know, we kind of thought

86
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: that would happen. I mean, it's been he's been on

87
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: for a while now, so they're gonna have to deal

88
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: with him. Uh. The Chiefs um didn't have anybody else

89
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: go on the list today, but they've got still it's

90
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: a pretty extensive. I mean, you're still talking. Mike Grammers

91
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: went on yesterday one of their backup tackles. So it's

92
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: Blake Bell and Mike Grammers. Blake Bell, Nick Bolton, uh

93
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Rashad Fenton, Tyreek Hill, Kyle Long, Lucas Nyang, Armanti Watts,

94
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, Harrison Booker, Her Various various word Garrig Dieter uh.

95
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: And then the Chris Jones is off. So they've still

96
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: got They've got more frontline guys, and they got names

97
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: people probably have heard, and two right tackles. If you

98
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: count Ramers as the backup, I'm not sure exactly how

99
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: they would shuffle their long. But long isn't an option

100
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: to bump bump out the tackle if he's on the

101
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: list too. And hang, we know who those guys are

102
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: gonna try to block. I mean that doesn't bode well

103
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: for Kansas City, that's for sure. Getting Jones back is monstrous.

104
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a real, real problem. But that wasn't unexpected.

105
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: You know, I thought we might do some Kelsey or

106
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: Hill news by now. Yeah, nothing yet, and uh, you

107
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: know they'll have essentially you're you're now down to forty

108
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: eight hours to get those guys cleared because they have

109
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: to be cleared by four o'clock on Saturday. Okay, So yeah,

110
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: we have exactly forty eight hours from recording now. Okay,

111
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: so they still could get both. They still couldn't. And

112
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: I can tell you the Steelers are planning on seeing

113
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: those guys practice. You play, you plan the the worst case,

114
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: you plan to play against them, and then if they

115
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: don't play well, then then you're happy. Then you're happy

116
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: a little present. Yeah, And again I keep going back

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: to how will Kansas City play it different if they

118
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: don't have them? I mean, the Steel's defense is very

119
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, advantageous to run against. But that's not how

120
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: they're built. That's not what they do, you know, I mean,

121
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: that's not how Andy Reid looks at his team. Funny

122
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: you mentioned that, Matt, because um I I did a

123
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: little research today and here's what I came up with

124
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: on that. So the Chiefs, if you look at their

125
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: overall rushing, it's uh, they're they're they're. Okay, it's a

126
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: hundred and nine point on your game. But if you

127
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: take my homes rushing out of the equation, right, he

128
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: has fifty five carries for three hundred two yards, he's

129
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: the third leading rusher. Yeah, uh, you take that out

130
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: of the equation. You take six carries at Chad Henny

131
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: has out of the equation, and a lot of them

132
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: are Neil downs. But he's got six carries for zero

133
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: yards because he did have a six yard runs anyways,

134
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: not the mostly defella they had then have two three

135
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: rushing attempts for twelve hundred and sixty three yards and

136
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: four point four yard per carry average. So that's from

137
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: non quarterbacks that encounters like rounds. But then so I

138
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: went farther than that, so I I took the carries

139
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: that they're running backs, the guys who were in their

140
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: running back room what they have this year, and it's

141
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: two hundred sixty four carries for a thousand and ninety

142
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: two yards. That's a four point one yard per carry average.

143
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: That works out to uh I believe it is eighteen

144
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: point nine carries per game for seven nine yards. That's

145
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: their average, which isn't much and it's not a lot

146
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: of usage. It's okay, production not great. I'm sure some

147
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: of those are with some pretty good leads late in

148
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: games as well, when it's not as important or as consequential.

149
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: And and every team does this. I bet there's a

150
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: couple of draws on there on third and eight and

151
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: things like that too. I mean, as every team done.

152
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: But I mean they don't want to line up and

153
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: run the foot that they do, right. I think those

154
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: numbers bear that out. Is they haven't had a game

155
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: or a game plan even when Mahomes in the offense

156
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: were struggling of we already come in and run the

157
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: ball and get the same back on track, like there's

158
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: not what there's their season high. They did kind of

159
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: do that when they were losing early in the season.

160
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: They ran the ball against the Chargers thirty times for

161
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty six years. I don't know it

162
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: was thirty carries. They ran the ball thirty two times

163
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: against the Eagles for two hundred yards. Um, no, I

164
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: don't have showed the ability to do it. I didn't

165
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: look and see how many of those were hill carries

166
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But if you look at the

167
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: game since then, twenty three carries, twenty eight carries, thirteen carries,

168
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: thirty and in the forty eight to nine win over

169
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders, so even to nine, you're winning, and you're

170
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: times the games out of region. Yeah, and then last

171
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: week against the Chargers six. Okay, so those numbers are

172
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: a little higher than actually I thought, because I bet

173
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: you compared to the last two or three years, the

174
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes years, those are a noticeable percentage higher. Some of

175
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: it's because they're not as explosive and they've had issues,

176
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: and you know their scoring is down about two points

177
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: per game this year from last year. Yeah, that makes

178
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: perfect sense. Um, what was it gonna go with that?

179
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: They have a good old line though, two, I mean

180
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: the right side of the old line obviously right now

181
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: is a little in flux for this game. But Humphrey

182
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: to the left side is pretty darn good. Um. I

183
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: mentioned this yesterday. I'm not impressed with their skill guys

184
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: as blockers, except for the full back. I mean they'll

185
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: bring a full back in the game and you come

186
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: downhill and run ice oh and things like that. But

187
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: Kelsey and the other tight ends are more runners and

188
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: movers than they are uprooting defensive lineman type guys. And

189
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: the receivers are small, built for speed guys. I mean

190
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: they're a bunch of Lamborghinis. Yeah. So, um, you know,

191
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: I just don't know how much if you look at

192
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean Williams has a hundred and twelve carries. Clyde

193
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilario missed some time as add ten and that's it.

194
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they just don't. They don't run a lot.

195
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: They don't. Since Edwards Hilaire has been back, he he's

196
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: the one. I mean, I think that's pretty clear. He

197
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: hasn't been great, but he's definitely getting a higher percentage.

198
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: Williams was good. He's a good backup in my opinion.

199
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: He's quality all around guy, not super flashy. Um and

200
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: and held the fourth down fine, what when c h

201
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: was out um, but I think they want to use

202
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire noticeably more, you know, sixt him or him

203
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: or so. And it wasn't a wonderful pick. It's not

204
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: working out all that great. But he is I mean,

205
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: he was the first round pick, and he has talent

206
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: and he can do damage, especially in the open field.

207
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: And you know, if the Steelers are gonna give him

208
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: big lanes, he's gonna look real good. But he's not

209
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and he's not Joe Mixon goes back to my, my,

210
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: he's not even a bruiser like Foreman or calling R.

211
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: He's done all these guys. He's not gonna like fall

212
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: like that's been a big thing of Mike Tomlins and

213
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: Keith Butler's. Well, these guys are not only getting yards,

214
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: but they're falling forward. Edwards is Edwards Hilaire gonna fall fall?

215
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: That's not what he realizes. What he does, he's not

216
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: going to lower his head and get can be low.

217
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean he's I mean four sequels m

218
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: A and he's not much. There's not much JM. I

219
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: mean it is good leverage, um, but he's not super

220
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: powerful and he doesn't have a lot of mass Yeah. Yeah,

221
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I'm interested to see how Andy

222
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: reata Texas if he does, especially if he doesn't have

223
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Hill or even one or you know what

224
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: I mean, because the thing is a half the game plan.

225
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: This week as well, I mentioned the Steelers are game

226
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: planning as if I'll say, next Hill and Kelsey, you're

227
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: gonna be in this game. Well, if you're in, you

228
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: read you gotta make a game plan. You don't have

229
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: those guys right now, right so you have to plan

230
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: that that you're not going to have them. See if

231
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: I were them, I'd almost have two totally different game plans.

232
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: But the one is just doing what you do. You mean,

233
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: you might not need to practice that or you know,

234
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: we've been running these same plays now for fifteen weeks

235
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: or whatever. Let's say, Patty and Kelsey and Preak. I

236
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: think you guys know what you're doing. You know, even

237
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: if you don't get any it does though. Is one

238
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: of the great things that Andy Reid always does is

239
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: he has something a little different, a wrinkle here or

240
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: there for the team right now, you're under sound right,

241
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: and he won't be able to do that. If that's

242
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: the case, then he has to fall back on these

243
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: things that they've already done, which the Steelers will have

244
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: already seen. No. Right, it's a good point. And the

245
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: thing is, though, if you're practicing this week like you

246
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: don't have those guys, and you're gonna try to get

247
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: more Sherman maybe involved, more traditional downhill runs that have

248
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: worked well against Steelers, more stretch plays things like that. Okay, great,

249
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: but how much work are you getting Pringle and Robinson

250
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: in the backup tight ends and all those guys too.

251
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean, like any great quarterback Pat Mahomes is the

252
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: great you know, deodorant and get get rid of all

253
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: those problems to some degree more than some teams can

254
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: deal with it. But it's not what they do, you know.

255
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: And the offense hasn't been awesome. It's out of their

256
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: character and it really is. Again, they average nineteen carries

257
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: by the running backs per game, you know, and despite

258
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: winning the last seven games in a row, or you

259
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yeah, I mean with big leads,

260
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: they just they don't want to do that, No, they don't.

261
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what what else to make of it. I mean,

262
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: I think it'll be really interesting. I'm sure we'll get

263
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: news in the next couple of days. You know who's

264
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: gonna be available, who isn't. What if you only have

265
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: one of the two, I mean, does that change your approach?

266
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: I would think? I mean, I I mean, I'm sure

267
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: I know they're still favored, chief Share a really good team,

268
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: but I'd be really nervous if I was read without

269
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: those two guys. You're like, man, I mean, this could

270
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: get sideways on us in a hurry here, and this

271
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: might be a ten nine game. Yeah, I think it

272
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: would be really low scoring, especially those two weren't there. Yeah,

273
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: I know, And you know the point spread. I think

274
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: it's opened at like ten and a half, and I

275
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: think so, I think it's what is it eight now

276
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: something seven a half, eight, somewhere in that range. You're

277
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: taking those two very good players out of the equation.

278
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: You know, actually like hearing that because Vegas knows stuff. Yeah,

279
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, they think this thing's I

280
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: also know Tomlin's record as a dog is tremendous in

281
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: the Vegas world. But still, I mean, if it's moving

282
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: that much in just a day or two, maybe we're

283
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: not gonna see Kelcy. Yeah, I think so. I mean,

284
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: so you know, I look at this and, um, you know,

285
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: when when this one came out on the schedule, you're like, well,

286
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: that's a loss that looks terrible. Um I I still

287
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: probably lean that way, and we'll talk more about it

288
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: tomorrow and we make our pick in this game. But man,

289
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: it's just if you're gonna play the Chiefs, this as

290
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: good as a guess. You could pick two players outside

291
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: of my homes that they're not going to have, those

292
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: will probably be the two you'd pick without question, just

293
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: because I don't know even I mean, let alone, but

294
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: I think the book your thing is being that's huge,

295
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: It's huge. I looked up a little more stats on

296
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: on Elliott Elliott Fry Okay Elliot, who's going to be

297
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: kicking for them in this game? That much? We do that? Yeah,

298
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: he's not vaccinated. He made one field goal last year

299
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: for the Falcons in the game. It was a twenty

300
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: three yard that's his only indoors. It's hard to make

301
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: an attempted and then he missed. He had two extra

302
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: point attemption that game and missed one of them. Wow.

303
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: So he swung his leg three times in the NFL, Yes,

304
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: and one of them two have gone in. None have

305
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: been over twenty three yards from away. Okay, they've been

306
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: pretty short. Yeah, now, and now he's gonna be now

307
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: the web there's not supposed to be a factor out there, right,

308
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: but when could be? I mean it always is. I mean,

309
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: and you look at their we talked about this, I

310
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: mean their red zone offensive seventeen in the league because

311
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: because they don't pound the ball in the end zone,

312
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers red zone defense is the fourth best in

313
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: the league. Yeah, right, right, right, I mean they've actually

314
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: stood up pretty well and in the red zone they

315
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: have Um, you're right, that is a bit of a

316
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: chief weakness of You would think, well, we've just invested

317
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: in Tuney and Orlando Brown, We'll just pounded behind those

318
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: guys in deep. And they don't do it. I mean,

319
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: they're almost all their touchdowns have been through the air.

320
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: The ratio of touchdowns, just how their distributed for Kansas

321
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: City is heavily in the air. Um. Now, you're right, though,

322
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if Hill and Kelsey are there, I'm sure

323
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: we look at this game like it's probably that last week.

324
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that should be a ten point spread. Kicker

325
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: probably doesn't matter that much. But without it, I think,

326
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: and Tomlin shown a good pension for doing this is

327
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: muck it up and end up this thing just being

328
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: the last possess sin or down to one call or

329
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: some bounce and does have a big kicker advantage. Yeah,

330
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we've seen Andy Reid run Booker

331
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: out there for fifty plus yard field goals on a

332
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: regular basis. He's not going to have that same trust

333
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: And Elliott Fry No, I mean, and if he does,

334
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: God bless him. I mean he does hardly even knows

335
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: the guy. Yeah, I'm sure you know which guy. Here's

336
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: get you get the police lineup. Which one of these

337
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: guys is your kicker this week? You may not know,

338
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: he may not know. I'm sure he's an aggressive coach too,

339
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: and analytically driven. I'm sure they'll be going forward on

340
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: fourth and shorts more than they would have and that

341
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: type of thing too. But they're not a great short

342
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: yardage offense either, which just goes back to that red zone.

343
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: They actually haven't done a lot of fourth down work

344
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: this year. No, No, they haven't. I mean they haven't

345
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: done they have not been I think they've only gone

346
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: for it like seven or eight times. Yeah, I mean

347
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: they have they have not been super aggressive in these situations. No,

348
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: they haven't. I mean again, there aren't many quarterbacks I

349
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: would rather try, outside of maybe Aaron Rodgers and my

350
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: homes to figure all this stuff out. And he may

351
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: be thrown to people we've never heard of and still

352
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: puts up three plus yards or whatever. And I just

353
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: saw the last time they played, he threw six touchdowns

354
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: against Stelers. I didn't really that was his second career start,

355
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: was it, really? And it was really early in two

356
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: thousand and eighteen, And that makes sense that nobody really knew,

357
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: you know, what he was. I remember that he remember

358
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: my game like it was yesterday, you know, and he

359
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: came in. He was the hot Fantasy guy and end

360
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: up winning the MVP that year and that was his

361
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: second start of the year. Okay, that makes sense. So

362
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: he's been a hard guy to game playing against at

363
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: that point. At that point, absolutely, because you're you know, well,

364
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: you're you're you're still looking at last year's film. He

365
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: played one game, so you're looking at seventeen The Chiefs

366
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: with Alex Smith versus The Chiefs with Patrick Right. Smith

367
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: was playing well back then, and Right but he wouldn't

368
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: trying Patrick Mahomes or nearly the dynamic or abilities, that's

369
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, it's been a while. Um, it's gonna

370
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: be interesting. I I you know. Uh. Terrell Edmonds today

371
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: also said that the Steelers are going to defend Patrick

372
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes similar to the way that they do Lamar Jackson.

373
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: And you would look at that and you say, well,

374
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't make much sense. But he's talking about keeping

375
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: him in the pocket. They don't want him particularly rolling

376
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: to his right. That makes sense, you know. They feel

377
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: like he's a better thrower rolling to his right than

378
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: he is rolling to his left. But they want to

379
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: keep him in the pot, want to keep in the pocket.

380
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: And we've we've brought that up a couple of times

381
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: this year or this week. I think that's job one,

382
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: keep him in the pocket. When he was not playing well,

383
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: and frankly, he wasn't playing well for a while or

384
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: this year. It wasn't just like oh he's got bad luck.

385
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: I mean, by any quarterback standards, he was a below

386
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: average quarterback for a short stretch this year. One of

387
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: the things that he was really doing that was his fault.

388
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: But he was playing very frenetically. He was playing very fast.

389
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: He was scrambling when pressure wasn't there. I mean usually

390
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: he's still seeing the girls from the super Bowl. Yeah,

391
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: maybe you know who knows or not trusting the new

392
00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: line or whatever, and it's not comfortable and improvising where

393
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: I always look at him as a very smart scrambler,

394
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: usually to throw. But and that's when he's the most

395
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: dangerous and you want to keep him in the pocket. Yeah,

396
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: he can carve you up. The other well, the other

397
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: thing that happens there, especially when Hill and Kelsey are

398
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: on the field with him, they improv Yeah. There, you know,

399
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: you can only stick with those guys for so long.

400
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: And he knows it and he's phenomenal at it, and

401
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, run around with Tyreek Killen. It's it's, it's,

402
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: it's it's Ben Roethlisberger in two thousand and fifteen with

403
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: with Antonio Brown, you forget about it and then they

404
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: have the nonverbal communication of when to break it deep

405
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: or when to come back, and yeah, and they carve

406
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: you up. Can attack any spot in the field too.

407
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: If you were going to double one guy last thing

408
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: here in this segment, you're gonna double one those guys

409
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: that would be Tyreek. I think so too. I think

410
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: so too. I mean traditionally that's been a little more

411
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: successful just because Homes isn't the most patient guy in

412
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: the world either. He wants to unleash the houise er,

413
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: and if you take that away, he'll take Even if

414
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 1: he doesn't hit him, he'll still take the shot. He's

415
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: still will And that's you know, caused some turnovers or

416
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: in the season. It's not a slam dunk. It's not

417
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: like whit tyreach so much better than Kelsey. It's just

418
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 1: I'd rather have death by a thousand paper cuts than

419
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: get my head cut off, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah,

420
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: for sure. Um. And you know, I would think that

421
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers would use make Fitzpatrick a lot too. Maybe

422
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: wherever wherever, whichever side Hills is on hillside, I think

423
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: you put you put Fitzpatrick over the top of him,

424
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: especially if Kelsey's out of the equation. Yeah, and then

425
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: I think he lives in that department. You know, he

426
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: try to get physical with it with Hill and a

427
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: lot of help over the top, you know, but Hill's

428
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: not the beauty of Hill to me. Well, there's a

429
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: lot is He's so dynamic and so explosive. But he's

430
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: not ted Gin that just runs fast. I mean he

431
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: eats you up with routes too, you know. I mean,

432
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: if you're gonna run outs on you all day long

433
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: and crossers and you know he's so impressive that way. Yeah,

434
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: you're gonna force him the middlefield and hit him. Yeah. Yeah,

435
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: he's a pretty start. Don't let him run the outs

436
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: and let's step out of bounce. Yeah, even though you're there,

437
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: have you mentioned this many times there after? The catch

438
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: productions remarkable for it? Yeah, absolutely, But we're gonna take

439
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: a break. He is Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lollly.

440
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio.

441
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit more about some other stuff

442
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: going around on around the lake. Man. The league is

443
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: just in turmoil right now. It's hard to keep up

444
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: over to hunter. Guys on the on the COVID list

445
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: two currently, so it's it's it's affecting pretty much every team,

446
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: including I mean my phone blows up every five minutes.

447
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: Just guys off the code listen. This one is not

448
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: to mention people are injured in this league too, right,

449
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: There are guys who are dealing with real injury, real

450
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: life injury. It's it's amazing right now, but well, this

451
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,239
Speaker 1: is the world we live in. Uh, we're gonna take

452
