1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: M hmm, welcome back. I'm Dale Lally here with Matt 2 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: Williamson and Matt. Of course, late last week the Steelers 3 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: make the trade for Joe Schober, adding to that defense, 4 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: and Matt Bowen has a an article here defending the 5 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: NFL's six elite offenses which teams are best set up 6 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: to slowdown Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady and more. Interesting And 7 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: so I assume he's going into don't defend all of 8 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: them the same, right, Yeah, these are really good defense, 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: These are very good offense. So face all these guys differently. Yeah, 10 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: I just want to read how how he feels like 11 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: the best way to defend these guys these times. Are 12 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: you starting with Casey? We're gonna start with Casey. Let 13 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: me see if Matt and I agree. I really think 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: Casey is obviously very, very difficult to defend. I think 15 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: a massive key with the Chiefs. It's having somebody show Bert. 16 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just looking from through Steeler eyes, show 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: Bert Bush Edmonds that cannot get embarrassed by Kelsey one 18 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: on one. Everyone's gonna be a disadvantage. Every linebacker and 19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: safety is me a disadvantage against Kelsey one on one? 20 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: But if you can hang with him, that allows you 21 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: to roll with safety over Tyreeke and kind of bang 22 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: him at the line of scrimmage and at least compete 23 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: with their two weapons that are unbelievable make the other 24 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: guys beat you, which I mean Mahomes is gonna get 25 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: his no matter what. Another huge key with Mahomes is 26 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: having a pass rush plan. Don't go running past the quarterback. 27 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: I mean, there's it's something we don't talk about a lot. 28 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: Having a pass rush plan is very important. Like Bud 29 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: Duprie earlier his career would run past the quarterback on 30 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: his blindside. That's what they want you. You can't do 31 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: any damage that way. So there's an art to staying 32 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: in your lanes or you know, forcing him in the 33 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: pocket and controlling the quarterback through path rush, but also 34 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: still pressuring him and being aggressive. Seewers are well cable 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: of doing that part for sure. Absolutely. Yeah. Uh. He's 36 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 1: saying that he would have heavy split safety coverage to 37 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: limit explosive play throws. Um Mahomes at a QB rating 38 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: or QBR of eighty seven point six against single high 39 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: coverage last year, with that number dipping to eighty one 40 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: point seven against split safety. Looks that's not that big 41 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: a deal, but teams need to play with zone discipline, depth, 42 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: anizing quarters, cover two, and cover six. Here, I'd pushed 43 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: my week safety to the field side of the formation 44 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: and quarters uh Locke looking to cut down the deep 45 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: crosser while using a linebacker edge player to disruptive release 46 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: of Kelsey into the boundary with the defender matching and 47 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: man technique. Okay, that's who's saying. I mean, sitting in 48 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: zone is rough dangerous against that crew. I mean it 49 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: is well playing man against that cruise. There's there's no 50 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: great answer there. There isn't. I mean, they're all he's 51 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: gonna see light boxes. But I think I think the 52 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 1: key is again disrupting those guys as a line of scrimmage. Yeah, 53 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: but they're not such a timing based offense because he's 54 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: so good at extending. But yeah, you gotta give you 55 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: gotta give your pass rush a chance to get to 56 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 1: him a little bit. You can't just give these guys 57 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: a little you can't get You can't give Tyreek kell 58 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: free release. He can't give Travis Kelsey free release. Yeah, 59 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna bang you. Up all day. Yeah, 60 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: and Kelsey's and there were there are other receivers aren't 61 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: ridiculous anymore. Though maybe Hardman steps up. He certainly could. 62 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: But I mean if Pringle and Robinson and Hardman and 63 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, those guys eat me up, then I then 64 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: I'll tip my hat to you. You know. The other 65 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: guys are hard enough to hold down as it is. 66 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: But there surrounding weapons aren't crazy anymore. Yeah, I mean, 67 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: as great as they are, I think they're a little 68 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: more fragile than people realize, just how they're built. If 69 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: Tyreek goes from a four two to a four four, 70 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like has an ankle or 71 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: an achilles or something that he plays through, or Kelsey 72 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: gets a little old, you know, let alone if one 73 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: of them has a real injury. You know, I think 74 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: if you if you give them a lot of cover 75 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: two looks, you're kind of daring them to run the football. 76 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: And I think that's the better lesser of two evils. 77 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: Go ahead, runaway, fellas if they're getting five or six 78 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: o'clip yeah, you know, yeah, uh Tampa bay Um. He 79 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: said he would Arians and Company will go heavy, twelve 80 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: personnel with two tight ends to get opposing defenses in 81 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: the single high coverages, which means the defense will likely 82 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: spin a safety down to get an extra run defender. Here, 83 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: I'm here, I'd stick with quarters and cover six on 84 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: early downsta to a top to top and match the 85 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: inside seems before going with loaded fronts and two man 86 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: coverage and clear passing situations that would allow my defensive 87 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: scheme pass rush matchups and stunts that prevent Brady from 88 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: climbing the pocket while also putting my safeties in a 89 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: position to drive top down on the ball with aggressive 90 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: underneath coverage. Um. He says that he said that the 91 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: Patriots were the team that best matches up with When 92 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: he feels that they should be done against Kansas City, 93 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: he says, the Saints have the defense to do this 94 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay. Yeah, they have a lot of They 95 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: played against him an awful lot too. Brady's awesome, and 96 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: he threw the ball deep a lot more than people realize. 97 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: The middle, though, is still the way. He still doesn't 98 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: get out of the way. Yeah, I mean, he benefited 99 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: from a really good line last year, and he makes 100 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: a good line better of course. Um, But again, that 101 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: ability to do another step up into the pocket right. 102 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: If you keep him from doing that, he's a lot 103 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: less dangerous. I mean, you can certainly rush him up 104 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: the middle, even if it's t J or those guys 105 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: stunting inside. That's where he wants to go. He wants 106 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: he wants to step into the middle, and he's not 107 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: going to roll, and he does move well within the confines. 108 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: They're another team. If you can get him to hand 109 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: off against the light box, let Leonard for Nette and 110 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: Ronald Jones beat you. You know they're not gonna put 111 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: that many points up. Yeah, they're hard to play against. 112 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: There's no doubt the Buffalo Bills. Everything runs through Josh 113 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: Allen in the past game. So I try to take 114 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: the fourth year quarterback work post snap with late secondary 115 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: movement and disguise, giving Brian the devil's ability to game 116 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: plan coverage. I'd get be heavy on zone coverage, get 117 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: six defensive backs on this on the field spin the 118 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: safety is late to two deep zone shells and force 119 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: Allan to throw into contested windows. Simply put, defensive can't 120 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: give Alan clean looks to read it out of the 121 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: pocket after the ball snap. He proved last season that 122 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,239 Speaker 1: he will light up teams if they don't change things. 123 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: That makes sense. I mean, he is an immense talent 124 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: and he's come a very long way, but we saw 125 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: it in their playoff game. He'll still put the cape 126 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: on and be Superman when he shouldn't be, or force 127 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: things and still looks young. They play four receivers a ton, 128 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, which brings us the Steelers opening Day, and 129 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: I think the Steters will have to match that with 130 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: four corners. More than this Nickel conversation, you know we have, 131 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: um Diggs is the one you can't let kill you, though, 132 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: I mean the rest of their weapons, Like we talked 133 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: fantasy all the time, I mean, how many Bills do 134 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: one besides Alan or Diggs? They're okay. The other guys 135 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: are okay, but yeah, as a lead offenses go, it's 136 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: not like the Box or Kansas City that's just loaded 137 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: with guys everywhere. I think Diggs as good as any 138 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: receiver in the league, and Steelers saw that firsthand, and 139 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: he's really hard to keep down. But I think Bowen 140 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: said some good points there of really very things don't 141 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: get predictable, and what's different about Brady obviously versus Allen 142 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: and Mahomes. You can play a lot of strict man 143 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: coverage against Brady because he's like tuck and run on 144 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: you either. You know. He says the team best set 145 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: up to defend the Bills is the Kansas City Chiefs. 146 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: I would disagree with that. Yeah, I don't like their 147 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: linebacker situation to control the middle of the field. I 148 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: think the Steelers are a much better, a much tougher 149 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: matchup for the Chiefs. For the Bills should say my 150 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: first I actually I would probably pick the Patriot it. 151 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: I would pick the Patriots or Ravens, somebody to have 152 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: a lot of corners. He said. In the a f 153 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: C Championship Game win over Buffalo in January, the Chiefs 154 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: brought zero man pressure, all out blitz is on seventeen 155 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: point five percent of Allan's dropbacks. That's a lot. Yeah. 156 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: Kansas City also played cover too and to robber with 157 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: math Al moving late as the middle hole defender on 158 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: twenty point one percent of the snaps. Well who else 159 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: does that? Yeah, Steelers do that a lot with make 160 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: of Fitzpatrick. They do. But I do understand the honey 161 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: Badger conversation there, because he'll do it like Troy from 162 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: anywhere on the field, not necessarily from the single hide down, 163 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: which still would give Allen problems. But math Ow, I 164 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: guess is the wild card that would make Allen's life 165 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: harder than you know. Brady wouldn't have a problem with that. 166 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: You know, things like that, So I guess I get that. 167 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: But Kansas City is d shouldn't really be in the 168 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: conversation as any top offense and me, I mean, they've 169 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: got a couple of guys and they're built to win 170 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: high scoring games. His next team is green Bay. How 171 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: he would defend green Bay? Star and Steelers gonna have 172 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: to play these guys quick green Bay. Note that I'm 173 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: I bet he won't touch on there are lines a problem. Yeah, 174 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: I'm curious how Rogers makes up for an injured box 175 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: the r E and Lindsay and l A right now, Yeah, 176 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: I'm talk about Steelers are lined green Bay did nothing 177 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: to help theirs. How he would defend green Bay? Start 178 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 1: every defensive snap in a two high shell, moved from there, 179 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: giving the efficiency of the Packers zone run game with 180 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: with Jones and A J. Dillon, I'd play some cover 181 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: three and Freeman or Man free to spin a safety 182 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: late to cut off the edge. Plus I can also 183 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: play some three robber to put a safety in the 184 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: weeds waiting to close the window on the play action throws. 185 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: The core of my call sheet though, in addition to 186 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: simulated pressures, will lean on two high schemes. You'd see 187 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: quarters and cover too. Two men for me against Rogers 188 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: to limit the middle of the field throws and help 189 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: get over, get over the top, help against Adams said, 190 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: the team best set up defend to defend the Packers 191 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: is Tampa Bay m I mean he really stressed the 192 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: middle of the field. I can't think Rogers is lethal 193 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: and everyblody out yeah and all the above, but they 194 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: do tanyan and they've been breaking routes and they're very 195 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: good in the middle. Want Yes, that's not gonna beat you. 196 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: Their second receivers aren't all that exciting to me, I 197 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: would think, and Bone is better at this than I am. 198 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: But if I were playing the Packers, I would think 199 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: I'd want the Rams put Ramsey on. I was someone 200 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: with an elite corner. And oh, by the way, the 201 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: Rams had that Donald guy who causes problems to be 202 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: disruptive in the middle of the right. Yeah, that I 203 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: think I'd want a great corner as my starting point. Okay, 204 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: you're on atoms and will help you a little, but 205 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: don't get embarrassed over there. And our other ten should 206 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: do pretty well because Adams isn't gonna run past He's tyreke, 207 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: you know. I mean if you if he beats you, 208 00:10:54,120 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: it probably isn't an eight ardor um Baltimore. Interesting. What 209 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: I would do to obviously, what I would do to 210 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: defend care about corners with them. I'd steal a little 211 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: bit from the Patriots, who defended the Ravens extremely well 212 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: in Week ten last season, and specifically regarding how they 213 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: use safetyes Adrian Phillips and Kyle Dugger. I get both 214 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: both of my safeties on the field and sub package 215 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: personnel to play as overhang defenders. To limit the edge 216 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: run schemes and count for Jackson speed. I'd mix up 217 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: my front looks to jumping from four man alignments to 218 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: bear fronts. I'd also stay in zone coverage, limit Jackson's 219 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: ability to escape and extend outside the pocket. Get to 220 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: cover three here the Patriots played on seventy two, which 221 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: the Patriots played on seventy two and a half percent 222 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: of direct Jackson's dropbacks in that game last season. I 223 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: think there's so I have a side note on to 224 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: bring up with them, but I think a real key 225 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: and we saw this Jackson's first year when they played 226 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: the Chargers in uh, what's his face? The Chargers study 227 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: safety that was Irwin j In the rookie year. They 228 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: had a bunch of linebacker injuries, the Chargers, and they 229 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: played Baltimore with a lot of safety seven the field 230 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: and it worked. And I think that I'm not saying 231 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: it's the blueprint, but I think it's important to have 232 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: two hundred hundred ninety pounds two pound linebacker safeties whatever, 233 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: as many of them as you can between the numbers, 234 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: running around, causing chaos. Play a lot of zone of course, 235 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: but here's one thing that Baltimore is really smart. And 236 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: I think when they I know this, when when they 237 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: dedicated themselves to Lamar, they said, Okay, we have a 238 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: unique player and we're gonna play a unique way. So 239 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: we anticipate defenses never playing man coverage against us, because 240 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: who's gonna play man against Lamar? And so therefore we're 241 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: not gonna spend a lot of money on wide receivers 242 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: that can beat man because we're never gonna see it. Well, 243 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: the league said, we're gonna play man against you. You know, Okay, 244 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: Lamar might beat us for a run here and there, 245 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: but we're gonna have the Bush or the Derwin James 246 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: by them, and they may still lose that battle. But 247 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: if we can man up on your corners on the 248 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: outside with no help against guys who can't get off man, 249 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: that leaves us nine in the middle of the field 250 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: no matter how we employ them. So now I think 251 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: the Ravens at the crossroads where they're getting the Watkins 252 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: and Bateman's and you know, and saying we can't just 253 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: get Joe below receiver to beat up zone coverage. You know, 254 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,599 Speaker 1: it's the world changes. His team best set up to 255 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: defend the Ravens is the Bills. I like the safety, linebacker, speed, 256 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: middle of the field stuff. I mean it's okay. I 257 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: mean they're they're disciplined. Does nobody nationally understand that the 258 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: Steelers have defended Lamar Jackson better than any team that 259 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: that never gets it doesn't seem that it, Like, yeah, 260 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: and there's a big sample size compared to other teams 261 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: absolutely played them more than anybody. Just beat Lamar. Playing 262 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: him more than ever helps beat him up, beat him up, right, 263 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: I don't nobody brings that concept up. And the Steelers 264 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: last year, in that game against Lamar the second time 265 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: or the first time around last year played a lot 266 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: of snaps with three outside linebackers on the field without 267 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: a nickel corner on the like, and I would think 268 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: you'll see it again. Yeah right, I mean now they're 269 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: better with their third linebacker outside linebacker because all those 270 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: guys can run. Yeah, and they abuse that outside run too. Uh. 271 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: Dallas is the other offense here. How he would defend Dallas. 272 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: I try to close the middle of the field to 273 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: limit Lamb on seams and benders, while also putting a 274 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: cover corner on the backside to match both Gallup and 275 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: Cooper on vertical throws. I want to play a mix 276 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: of quarters and three match to account for inside verticals 277 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: and overs. Plus the run game carries for Ezeque Elliott. Well, 278 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: if they never try to run the football, it's a 279 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: pretty well rounded offense. Yeah it is. While also having 280 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: the personnel to lock up the backside X receiver look 281 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: for both Lamb and Gallop to a line both outside, 282 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: in and in the slot. This season, we could see 283 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: more two tight end play action looks with Prescott under 284 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: centator for in breakers and attack the edge on boots. 285 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: The team best set up to defend the Cowboys is Washington. 286 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: He's I said, win the line of scrimmage. Washington is 287 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: a good d I think they match up well against everybody. 288 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: I like bow And he didn't convince me that that 289 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: was a wonderful strategy against Dallas though, you know, I mean, 290 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: you know there there three receivers are tough there. They 291 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: are going to move them around more than they did. 292 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: I think Lamb will play outside more than he did. 293 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: You know. He basically said, I need two good corners 294 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: to handle Cooper and Gallop on the side. Like, okay, 295 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: it's a good start, and then I'm gonna disrupt Lamb 296 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. Um, I mean, then 297 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: you gotta light box. And I don't know, I'm not 298 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: a schematic wizard, but the thing that hurts every one 299 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: of these teams is pass rush. And we never talked 300 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: pass rush, ever talked about how would you defend these receivers? 301 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: Pass rush? Pass rush, pass rush, pass rush. That's why 302 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: Washington against any of these is fine for me. For 303 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: the Steelers for that matter, is I think they have 304 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: the two best front lines and two best pass rushes 305 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: that doesn't have weaknesses, you know, like the Rams are 306 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: a really good pass rush, but they have an awesome 307 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: player and then some guys that are okay. You know, 308 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott played five games last year and through the 309 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: ball very very well. He also fumbled six times and 310 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: Elliota a ton of fumbles too, right, right right, He's 311 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: still he's that very much like Baker Mayfield. That's who 312 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: he is. He's fumbled his entire career. So you know, 313 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: if you get hit him and forced a couple of fumbles, 314 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: you're not gonna stop these offenses, No, none of them. 315 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: But you force them to turn the football over, yeah, 316 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: or hit the quarterback at the quarter mall at instants 317 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: or you know, um like the Homes and Allen. I 318 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: don't think hitting them as as valuable as it is 319 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: hitting Brady or I don't know about Rogers, but um, 320 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: some of these guys Lamar. You know, I think that 321 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: that certainly is a maybe Dak too with the fumbles, 322 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, and he's he's coming off an injury by 323 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: the way to practicing at the moment. Yeah, I mean 324 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: some of these, yeah, you'd love to have in a 325 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: league corner. But I'm still a believer. If you give 326 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: me a front four like the Steelers, like Washington, we're 327 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: hard to play against. No matter what you know, it's 328 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: you're you're gonna pay to complete big passes. I'm just 329 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: I'm just shocked reading that article that the Steelers weren't 330 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: mentioned once, not mentioned once. I still think it's the 331 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: best defense in the league. They got they got better 332 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: over the weekend. They get better over the weekend. I 333 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: thought Washington the Rams were in the conversation. The Rams 334 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: are mentioned once either, right, like, how do you not 335 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: mention two of the top defenses in the league? Forts 336 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: and the like. The Ravens were mentioned either. They're pretty unique, unique, 337 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: They're tough to play against. Yeah, I think the Ravens 338 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: against the Bills would be interesting, just because they have 339 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: so many corners. You could go straight man and see 340 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: how you see how at fairs? Yeah, with the safety 341 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: over the top or whatever. Interesting. I mean again, defending 342 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: all these offenses nowadays is really really difficult. They absolutely 343 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: have the leg up and you know, the seventies are gone. 344 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: You're not gonna shut any of these guys down, but 345 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: if you can make them do things that they're uncomfortable with, 346 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: that's a win. Yeah. Yeah, So anyways that I thought 347 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: that was an interesting art. Yeah, let's take yeah, let's 348 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: take a break. He is Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lolly. 349 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. 350 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: We'll be back with more right after this Black and 351 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: Gold football leaves here seven. You're listening to s n R. 352 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back. I'm Dale Lally here with Matt Williamson. Um, Matt. 353 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: Of course, the Steelers again play on Saturday against the 354 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: Lions and preseason game number three for the Steelers, and 355 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: I would expect that the the starters will be out 356 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: there for at least a quarter. Actually, the Lions are 357 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: kind of interesting as an opponent too. I was doing 358 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: some research last night. I read a pregame article for 359 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: uh Steelers dot Com. I'm just fiddling with it, think, 360 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: and they got a lot to play for. I mean, 361 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna be in. They're not gonna lay down. I 362 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: mean they're gonna be a pretty good opponent. They're trying. 363 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: They're trying, right, They might leave their starters in quite 364 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: a while. And they got a heck of an offensive line, 365 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: and they're a physical team, and I think they're a 366 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: good opponent for your Week three matchup. Is there anybody 367 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: who hasn't played yet in this preseason that you're anxious 368 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: to take a look at Snell in some ways? But 369 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: I'm not a big believer. But I remember watching the 370 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: second half against the Eagles, saying, boy, Benny Snow will 371 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: be tearing these guys up even more, you know what 372 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Like he missed an opportunity to look better 373 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: in front of coaches and stealing they were. There were 374 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: people asking me if if Jalen Same was really you know, 375 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: he passed Benny Snell. Now I'm like, no, I don't 376 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: think there were a couple of runs that he made 377 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: in that game where I thought he went to the 378 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: wrong Oh, I thought he missed some opportunity. He left 379 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: yards out there, Like that's who he is. Like he's 380 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: not a natural runner, and he doesn't see things great 381 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: or set up blocks, and he's not explosive downhill and 382 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: you know, not that smell superber. But he's running back, 383 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: I mean trade, you know what I mean? Who else. 384 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: I mean, most everyone has played Banners an obvious one. Yeah, 385 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: you want to see you want to see Zach Banner 386 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: on the field. That that to me four other starters, 387 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: the whole starting old line. You know, I wrote about 388 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: that today. I've wrote an off day piece on some 389 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: things that to me right now, Banner is the biggest 390 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: question mark on that offensive line because he just hasn't 391 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 1: been able to be consistently be on the field. And 392 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: I know some people have asked me about this, you know, 393 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: did he have setback? You know, we've we've seen Devin 394 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: Bush out there and we haven't seen Banner Like, well, 395 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: he's a huge human being. He's a hundred pounds heavier 396 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: than Devon Bush. Like, yeah, I know he had the 397 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: surgery a couple of weeks before Devon Bush, and everybody 398 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: heals different. I mean, but you're looking at a difference 399 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: between you know, the think about the torque where the 400 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: pressure that Zach Banner puts on his new a c hell, 401 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: it's spared to I realized that. And Bush is a 402 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: faster player. Yeah, they played different positions, but the the weight, 403 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: you know, that weight puts a lot of you know, 404 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: think about a people who knows how maybe his was 405 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 1: a little more severe. I mean, we're not doctors. I mean, 406 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: when they went in there, do they find more I 407 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: I don't know, but um, I think it was Wolf 408 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: and I have these days are kind of run together. 409 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: My apologies, but I did think it was interesting and 410 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: Wolf brought this up. I think that they moved more 411 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: to right tackles. They did, and I thought that was 412 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: not a ringing endorsement for Banner. I know he's more, 413 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: but it's more about Joe Hag Okay, they want I 414 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: thought they want more to be the more. They want 415 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: more to be the swing guy on game days. He's 416 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: going to be on the roster. They like him, so 417 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: he needs to know if he's going to be active 418 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: on game days, he has to be able to play 419 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: both sides, which I was I always find interesting. It's like, 420 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: you've been so good at left tackle, go to something else. 421 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: But that's by something He's played like he'd been a 422 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: left tackle over the course of his career. So now 423 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna say, Okay, we we now feel confident in 424 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: your ability to do that. You've seen enough of that. 425 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: We want you to be able to do the right 426 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: side as well. Because again, you're playing opposite handed over there. 427 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: If you can show that you can competently do that, 428 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: then you're definitely active. Then you're definitely active on game day. Again, 429 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: it's a compliment, and Choops was in that that that 430 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: stage of his career, it doesn't happen if your first 431 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: round pick. It does if you're a third or fourth, 432 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: then they like you. I just think it's rough on 433 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: the poor kids development in a way, But I also 434 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: understand the logic. You only if so many people have 435 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: active on you make yourself more valuable to the team 436 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: if you can play both sides. If I'm gonna put 437 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: my tinfoil hat on though and say, well maybe they do. 438 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: They want their best backup for Banner because they're not 439 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: sure where Banner is right now. Well that's always a 440 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: possibility too, because they just I mean, we've seen bits 441 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 1: and pieces, we've seen it sporadically on the field, but 442 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 1: they're still kind of at times holding him out of 443 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, more competitive situations, um, you know, where you 444 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: had to actually do a little more blocking than they 445 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: haven't done that with him. We'll see if that changes today, 446 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: if they start to ramp things up even a little 447 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: bit more. It's it's been it's been a slow burn 448 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: for him at this point. In fact, if you look 449 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: at what they opened their practices with over the weekend, 450 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: Actually if Sunday was the first time we've seen this 451 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: the starting the lineup that they have as their number 452 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: one on their depth chart, it was finally on the 453 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: field together for the first time on Sunday with Banner 454 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: right tackle, Banner, right tackle, Trade Turner, right guard Hassan 455 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: because Green wasn't there, but he still listed his number 456 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: one on the depth The left tack or left guard 457 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: was was Dots and the left tackle was Chokes Coore. 458 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: For that's the first time in this camp we've seen 459 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: that group on the field together. Do you think there's 460 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: any chance that's the opening day five? Oh, there's a chance. Yeah. 461 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: I think they like Hawson Hower a lot more than 462 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: I did when the season ended, and the thing's come 463 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: a long way. He's been better in this camp. Then 464 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: then I think he's put on some additional size and strength. 465 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: Um that he's not going to go out there and 466 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: be the little guy getting pushed around, right, He's not 467 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: gonna look like he's completely out of place like he 468 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: did before. Do you think it's gotten to the point 469 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: that if Kendrick Green is not the rookie center, it's 470 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: Hoss not Finny. I think so. I think they're not 471 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: the Finney can't play center, but I think there he's 472 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: better at guard, and they're happy with him a guard, 473 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: is my impression of it, because Hoss is good enough 474 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: at center, which is nice, instead of having Finny do 475 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: things he's not quite as good at. Get better at guard, 476 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: stay there. I mean, we don't know the trade turners 477 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: of raging success. He maybe I would think you just 478 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: haven't seen enough of him, enough of him, and I 479 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: would think Finney's first guy, Well, maybe it's Coward, But 480 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: if one of the guards be good, that makes me 481 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: more comfortable. I think he's the better player. I know 482 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: Coward started on the left side that one time, but 483 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: Fitting also played a lot on the right right. So yeah, 484 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: I think, you know, that's something that I definitely want 485 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,479 Speaker 1: to see. I want to see that starting unit on 486 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: the field together, and I want to see them start 487 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: to get some Yeah, a little bit of I would 488 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: hope that happened by now, considering the open camp earlier 489 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: and everybody else, and that was probably goal number one. 490 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: So that's a little concerning. And again I think the 491 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: old lines performed very well in the two preseason games, 492 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: but a lot of this because their depth is so 493 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: good and that's great, but that doesn't block the ones. 494 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: On game day Buffalo September twelve, right in Allowed Stadium, 495 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: if they were played against Letricox and Javan and Graham 496 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: all game, I think they lose, you know that battle 497 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: in that in the opener, quick old line question for 498 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: you put your crystal ball on, you know, pull out 499 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: your crystal ball. And I think a big thing about 500 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: the line this year is I really feel like they're 501 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: gonna have definitive answers. We can trust these three, these four, 502 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: these five, this one and as a long term starter here, 503 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: if I were to tell you the Steelers are going 504 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: to have off season old line needs, where do you 505 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: think they would most be most likely to be at. 506 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, I mean, honestly, it's a tough question. 507 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: It could be anywhere. Where I don't think it will 508 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: be is left Garden Center. Like, I think those guys 509 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: will get a lot of leash to turn into quality 510 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: players for a long stretch. Where if Chucks or Banner 511 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: is fine this year. I can see tackle being at 512 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: the top of their list of offseason needs. If Turners 513 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: just fine, maybe you let them walk. Get the comp 514 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: pic drafted guard in a second round, you know what 515 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: I mean? Like, I would bet it's the right guard 516 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: or a tackle. Yeah, you know, and that's what you want. 517 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: And I don't know if if it's a guard, I 518 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: don't know that you you have to go. It doesn't 519 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: have to be a first round pick. No, no, no, 520 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: you know I think that's I mean, maybe if you 521 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: could live with some of the guys team or who knows. Yeah, 522 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: and maybe it's finny. I don't know who's finny, right, 523 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: But there are a lot of bodies, um I want 524 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: to see. I'd like to see uh Antoine Brooks back 525 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: on the field. I think that needs to have I'm 526 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: sure you've got this even more than I have. But 527 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: since that game, who's the slot they maybe Sutton has 528 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: to go inside. I'm like, I think Brooks is a slot. 529 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: He has missed the game? Yeah, you know, Like I 530 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: saw that on the on NFL dot Com there was 531 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: a takes from each game or for each team after 532 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: the week one. Yeah, what we learned or whatever we learned, 533 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 1: and that was one of the things that Steelers. Steelers 534 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: don't have a nickel corner. Yeah he did. He missed 535 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: the game. You didn't see him on the field. All 536 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: my buddies been asked me about that. I mean, on 537 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: local radio, is asked that. I was like, I just 538 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: think that he was injured for the game, so they 539 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: set him out. But I think they're nickel corner is 540 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: pretty clear that they feel pretty comfortable with it. In fact, 541 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: everybody that I've talked to, UM, I don't think they're 542 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: bumping Sutton inside because they have no nick corner. And 543 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,959 Speaker 1: if they if they bump Sutton inside is because they 544 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: don't feel they can keep James Pierre off the field 545 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: to compliment the Pierre Yeah, right, which I guess is 546 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: still in the mix potentially. But again, as you mentioned 547 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: in Week one, they play the Bills, who are going 548 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: to play a lot of four receiver sets and need 549 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: for no matter what, So Sutton is going to be 550 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,959 Speaker 1: in the slot in the dime if they play, If 551 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: they play a lot of dime, then that's what's gonna happen. 552 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: I guess the most obvious answer to your question is 553 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: Joe Schobert and it sounds like he's gonna play a lot, 554 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: don't you think. Yeah, And that's another let's get into that, right. 555 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: So Schobert said, I saw your tweet that they threw 556 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: him right in the midt. They put him right into 557 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: the mix. And when we talked to him after practice 558 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: on Sunday, he said, yeah, they want me to uh, 559 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: you know, they want me to learn all the defense 560 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: and eventually where the green dot or should I say 561 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: a green dot? You get to t J Watts had 562 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: at the time, t J Watson. Yeah, but you get 563 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: two guys. Devon Bush is going to be one of 564 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: those guys, because people were looking at that going, well, 565 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: they won't. They don't want Devon Bush calling a place. No, 566 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: Devon Bush is going to be on the field the snaps. 567 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: You can't just have one because if the guy gets 568 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: hurt or you know, he doesn't play every snap, then 569 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: you're Robert Splaine was going to be the other green 570 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: dot right before they acquired Joe Schoberg. And I'm sure 571 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: there's a depth chart, a green dot depth chart that 572 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: if both are on the field, who's in charge? And frankly, 573 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: I expect that to be Schobert and I think that's 574 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: one of the beauties of picking him up is communication 575 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: intelligence for the game experience, and maybe eventually he will 576 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: be the Maybe they'll decide that he's he's better at 577 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: it than Devon Bushes. We want Schobert to be the 578 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: play caller, but that doesn't mean that Devon Bush is 579 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: going to get you. I don't know if he's good, bad, 580 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: or ugly at it. I have no idea. I have 581 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: no idea. But people people read something into this it's 582 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: not there. Well, they don't want Devon Bush being the 583 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: play caller. They must not trust him. He got the motive, 584 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: not what happened. That's a great point. There are two dots, 585 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: and that's very important. I don't know that it would 586 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: be I mean, this is a view from Afar, but 587 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: Bushes in early in his career, he's coming off an injury. 588 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: If you took those responsibilities totally off his plate, you know, 589 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: like in Tampa Lavante, David handles all that and White 590 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: just runs around his people. Yeah, it would probably be 591 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: good for Bush's career, you know, one more thing off 592 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: his plate. Just let him go out there and be 593 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: an athlete and make play. But I think it saysn't 594 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: mean he's not good at it. I think it's a 595 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: bit mm hmm. It would be a bit much to 596 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: ask Joe Schobert, probably in September twelve in Buffalo. Hey, Joe, 597 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: we know, we know you've only been here for three weeks, 598 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: but you're gonna call the defenses. You're running the defense 599 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: and making the checks, slapping Cam Heyward on the butt 600 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: that he needs to move over six inches and he's 601 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: been he's been in the defense for ten years him. 602 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: I don't like your alignment. I mean you have to 603 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: earn that. Yeah, yeah, I mean when Luke kick Lee 604 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: and ray Lewis do it, you know, week after week, 605 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: year after year, and they all the everything they tell 606 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: he was right, Okay, I'm in you know, but but again, 607 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: the other the other green dot was going to be Spillane. 608 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: Who's now I'm not gonna see the field He's not 609 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: going Yeah, who's not gonna be on the field show. Burton, 610 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: his career in three of the last four years, has 611 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: played a hundred percent of the snaps. Last year, but 612 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: the one year that he didn't, he missed three games, 613 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: so obviously he didn't play as many. They're drafting him 614 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: to play a lot of snaps him He's going to 615 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: play a lot, and so is Bush. Bush. That's a 616 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: plan play nickel with two linebackers as much as possible. 617 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: If you if I look back at what Tampa Bay, 618 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: there's their defensive snaps were for David and White last year. 619 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: David was at like six the snaps and White was 620 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: that's that's what you're going to see. That's what you're 621 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: gonna see. You know, Buffalo is a great example. Milano 622 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: was hurt, but they'll both be around a hundred of 623 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: their healthy snaps. And there's probably five other obvious examples 624 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: around the league to where having to quality ones may 625 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: it's just see a lot harder to play against the 626 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: guys that can do a lot of things for you. 627 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: But I think people were reading just way too much 628 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: into you know, Schobert saying he's gonna be I'm gonna 629 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have the green dot. Well, you have eight, 630 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: you have one of the green dust. Because if something 631 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: happens to Bush, you'll be on the You'll be on 632 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: the field the dime. If they go dime defense in 633 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: Week one with one linebacker, it's one linebacker on the field, 634 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Bush. It almost has to be right. 635 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: You would think you would think that would be a 636 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: little bit of an indictment on Bush if it isn't 637 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: to me, if you see, depending on here's the thing, 638 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: I think, if they're gonna play a lot of zone 639 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: against Buffalo, I would prefer Melt or prefer U Shoberd 640 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: on the field. He's better better. If they're gonna play Man, 641 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: then I'd rather see Bush out there. But in general, 642 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: I just rather see Bush out there. Yeah, I mean, 643 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: it's faster, he's a better athlete and all those things. 644 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: Now that's interesting though, Um, and there's a good chance 645 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: that we do see him Shobert on the field Saturday 646 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: against Detroit, I would assume. So, yeah, with him again, 647 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: they threw him into They threw him into the onto 648 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: the field with the ones in that first practice, first 649 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: snap here at seven shots, he's in there. He's in 650 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: the nickel next to Bush. And frankly, if he makes mistakes, 651 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: who cares? Yeah, you can. You can make of these guys. 652 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: Get used to play it side by side with Bush. 653 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: Getting our calls in understanding helped communicate, you know, the 654 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: speed of the game in a in a live stadium 655 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: against the what I think is kind of a quality 656 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: opponent when they're ones are out there, good offensive line, 657 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: and I think they'll play those guys a lot um. 658 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: One thing you're seeing around league is this kind of 659 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: side note. Some safeties are getting the dot here and 660 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: there too, you know, because it's hard to find lifebackers 661 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: well and again they never they never leave the field 662 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: right right, the safety more shortage anything. Finding those linebackers 663 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: like a show birth that they got for nothing. But 664 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: ideally it's one of those guys in the middle of 665 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: the field. Oh yeah, yeah, you know, just because it's 666 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: hard to communicated, like Jamal Adams might have one, or 667 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: you know, the guy's like I mean, I'm sure I 668 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: know Wagner does, but i mean, like those type of safeties. 669 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: You don't want to make us screaming from the you know, 670 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: from the hilltops, hoping people hear him, you know, right. Yeah, 671 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: But anyways, let's take a break.

Uh, 683 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: the other team, Yeah, it's not a good spot to 684 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: be in the other teams in the league here. I 685 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: don't want no Chubb home for the holadays Haskin for 686 00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: a friend ingram Toe, Neil the QT pies to of 687 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: for the money. It hurts so good. One there's a 688 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,919 Speaker 1: double like when they put two names in there one 689 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: afternoon t time. Okay. Uh. Number ten is keep calm 690 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,760 Speaker 1: and carry on, as in carry on Johnson, I, Johnson, 691 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: Levin is Bateman and Robin okay. And the twelve is 692 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: the Ronquistadors. Okay, not bad. Some new ones in there. 693 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 1: There are some new ones in there. As we mentioned, 694 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: we've got the five all the first picks were as 695 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:37,959 Speaker 1: you can imagine. Um, I'm sure Cochie McCaffrey are gone. Yeah, 696 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: it's all so our pick and Henry go. Henry did 697 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: not go. Okay, So we're sitting here and we've got 698 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: to pick here, Derrick, Henry, Ezekiel Elliott, Aaron Jones. I 699 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: think you'd lean Jones this way in a similar decision 700 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: last week, I want to say, and much has changed. 701 00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with it. I think he 702 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,399 Speaker 1: catches a lot more passes this year. Yeah, I think 703 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,399 Speaker 1: so too. Jamal Williams being out of there. I think 704 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 1: Dylan is going to be a factor. Don't get me wrong, 705 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: But I just think the receiving aspect of Jones pretty intriguing. 706 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: You might look back three months from now ago, how 707 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: did why do we pass on Henry? How dumb was that? 708 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 1: But here's the Here's how Henry fell to us. Here's 709 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: the guy A number four took, Davante Adams. I sent 710 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: you a draft last night that I did. Yeah, I 711 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: feel bad. I didn't even look at it. I was 712 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,439 Speaker 1: I took I went receiver, receiver, receiver in the first 713 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: three rounds. So I ended up with Davante Adams. Uh. 714 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson and um another stud apparently yeah, Falcons, Um Ridley, Ridley, 715 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,359 Speaker 1: which is yeah, I mean you have to draft any 716 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: other receivers, no, right, I mean those are all high, 717 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: high end receiver. And then I still ended up with 718 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: Carson and Henderson is my running back to Lamar Johnson 719 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: is my is my quarterback, and I had had pitches 720 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: my tight end and like that's pretty good. Like that's 721 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: a pretty four remaintable starting line up. Not somebody I 722 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: want to play against, No, right, because those backs will 723 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: get something. Yeah, you know, but your receivers will carry 724 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: the day. Interesting, but Henry available here. Elliott Aaron Jones, 725 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm fine going Jones again. I'm warming up to Elliott 726 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: more and more. I'm kind of warming up to Elliott 727 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 1: there as well. Yeah. I think he's gonna score a 728 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: bunch of touchoes. I think the offense is great. Yeah, 729 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna score a bunch of touchdowns too. 730 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm I'm believing the in shape thing, and you know 731 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: it wasn't happy with Yeah, I'm cool with that. Let's 732 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: take Let's take Elliot here. Alright, So we got the 733 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: Elliott at five. The thing about Elliott is even if 734 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: Paullard is a better player. There's no way Jerry's playing 735 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: up Pollard over Elliott. No, no way, no. Alright, we're 736 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: back up again. The picks here the top top suggestions. 737 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor's not bad at that, right. I know his 738 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: stocks dropped with the quarterback injuries and stuff, but so 739 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: what so Justin Jefferson, Yeah, Nick Chub dub vers Taylor 740 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: is very similar. That's a tough which one it comes 741 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,280 Speaker 1: comes down to? Which one do you think will catch 742 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: more passes? Taylor? Yeah, Brotheran Chubb is a better player 743 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: in a little bit better situation. I'm shocking the one 744 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: still there, to be honest with. I mean, you take 745 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: it's it's you take the gift, right, you take Taylor there. 746 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,879 Speaker 1: I'm fine with it, absolutely all right. That's a nice start. 747 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it could happen in stock is 748 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: falling and Jonathan Taylor to start your draft. Both should 749 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,439 Speaker 1: be first round picks. Yeah, okay, we're back up again here. 750 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: The top suggestions. Terry McLaurin, Ceedee Lamb, Robert Woods, Amari Cooper, 751 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: Cooper bi last, Yeah, I think it'd be Lamb or McLaurin, 752 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: although I've really gained respect for Woods, and I've gotten 753 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: him a lot less. We already drafted Zeke. Did we 754 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: want two shares of that Cowboys offense? Probably mclauren. Then 755 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 1: it's not horrible if you're gonna have the shares of 756 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: an offense. I think it's pretty good been to have 757 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: shares of. As long as that's healthy, you'll be happy 758 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: about it. Let's just take a look at the running 759 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: backs here, just to be sure. Edwards Hilaire still availing, 760 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: Bow Montgomery, Carson, J K. Dobbins, Edwards Hillari be the 761 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: best of the group. Is there a Waller, a Kittle? 762 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,439 Speaker 1: Uh No, Hackinson? The top ten can't do with the 763 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: third round? O would consider those. Yeah, the only three 764 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: could take McLarin that's an easy ye. Stacking Cowboys is fine, 765 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 1: but it's not I'm gonna stack somebody. I want to 766 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: stack the quarterback with the receiver. Alright, we're back up again. 767 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: The top guy suggested Chris Godwin, Hawkinson, Cooper Cup, Julio Jones. 768 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,280 Speaker 1: Top running back still available Carson, Darryl Henderson, Miles Sanders, 769 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs. Jacobs will be last of those, Yeah, for sure, 770 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: because so it comes For me, it comes down to 771 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 1: our Henderson or Carson better than Doblin, Cooper, Cup, Julio Jones, 772 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,439 Speaker 1: d J. Moore, we're Hawkinson. I think Hawkinson is gonna 773 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: have him. I've come around to your thinking on that. 774 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 1: That Hackinson. I think he's gonna go. I think he 775 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: catches nine, he passes this. Ye, they don't have anybody else. 776 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: They don't have anybody else. And either if they're close, 777 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:05,879 Speaker 1: they'll still go to him. If they're losing, they'll still 778 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: go to him. I think he's you know, he's an 779 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: early NFL draft pick. I think he's definitely a breakout guy. 780 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,919 Speaker 1: Tight Ends still available Mark Andrews and Kyle Pitts. Yeah, 781 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: that's interesting. I bet yeah, if you get your choice 782 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 1: to the three, but I bet you don't get one 783 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: on the coming back, this isn't the five, and then 784 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: short is this is four? And then we got to 785 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: come back a long way, A long way. Yeah, I 786 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: think I take the tight ends like I respect Godwin, 787 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 1: but I think he b is really good. I think 788 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 1: Hawkinson is the number one receiver on his team. Oh yeah, 789 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 1: the other guys aren't well, Andrews is, but they don't 790 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: throw the ball no, Hackinson in around four, and I'm 791 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,879 Speaker 1: fine with it. That's where you have to take those guys. Yeah, 792 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: I mean they're not gonna be there in around five. Well, 793 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: pitt were in round five and Pits were still available. 794 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: That's president. So if I had known that, I would 795 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: have waited. But yeah, that blows me away. I guess 796 00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:01,760 Speaker 1: who else is still available? Darrell Henderson? Yeah, us take him? Okay, Yeah, 797 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: we've three bags for a while. Yea one of these 798 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:14,879 Speaker 1: guys receiver, but oh yeah, I think, well, okay, Kenny Golladay, Yeah, 799 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't. I don't like. I don't 800 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: know that I've ever owned Kenny Golladay. I don't know 801 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 1: that I ever want to own Kenny Yellow the bad 802 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 1: taste of my mouth sitting out as much as he 803 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: did last year, and I just think that he's kind 804 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,399 Speaker 1: of fair weather and they're bad weather in New York. 805 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd, I take Alliday Overboard Boyd, though, Jerry Judy, 806 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: I take Judy over both Courtland Sutton. I think Judy 807 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,320 Speaker 1: over all those guys. Is there a quarterback that blows 808 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 1: you away? Well, that's what we want to look at here. 809 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 1: How about Dak Prescott, that's not bad. Who's next on 810 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 1: the quarterback list? Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert. Yeah, 811 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: Wilson's my next favorite. But I think that's the last 812 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: of the Tier one guy first for six thousand yards. 813 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: I think he tears him up. Yeah, I think I 814 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: take that. I think there's a good chance you're still there. 815 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: This is the long waiter. Let's see here. Now that's 816 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 1: a short one. Oh no, he got picked over. So 817 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: the top the top receivers available, Deebo, Samuel will Fuller, 818 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,919 Speaker 1: DeVante Smith, Antonio Brown. That's our wide receiver too. That's 819 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: our wide receiver too. We have to take one, even 820 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: though that's not value to me. I don't. I don't 821 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 1: love debot here because I would lean. We've never taken 822 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,720 Speaker 1: will Fuller. But I think he's good. He's also also suspended, 823 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,439 Speaker 1: so you know going into it that he's gonna I don't. 824 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: He misses the time and I don't trust him to 825 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: stay healthy. That's our this is our number two. We 826 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: need a safe pick here at number two isn't and 827 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,400 Speaker 1: needs somebody we both love. But Jarvis, Landry, Lavicius, Chenalt 828 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: Jarvis is to say Curtis, Samuel, Corey Davis, Corey, Here's 829 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 1: I heard this the other day day. Corey Davis was 830 00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 1: on the field for ten snaps with the preseason. In 831 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,439 Speaker 1: the preseason, he was targeted four times and ten snaps. Yeah, 832 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 1: he's there number one. Yeah, I think you take him here. Yeah. 833 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 1: It's gave him a lot of money and he's not 834 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: a bad player. No, he's not a bad player. They 835 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,959 Speaker 1: didn't pay him to not use him. No. No, they'll 836 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,640 Speaker 1: be losing a lot too. I don't love it, but 837 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,399 Speaker 1: it's you know, Okay, we're back up again. Antonio Brown 838 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 1: still available. I feel much safer about taking Brown is 839 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: my number three. Yeah, I wouldn't mind grabbing another another 840 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: receiver the next big Oh yeah. I mean if this 841 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 1: is the route that you go, is what happens if 842 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: you go If you go three running backs early, you 843 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: gotta load up on on mid run. You gotta hope 844 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 1: you start runs or you know, and be ride receiver's fault, 845 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 1: which they did not. Laviska Chanlt Curtis, Samuel Michael Gallop. 846 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 1: Gallup is interesting here because we have Dak. Yeah, Gallup's good. 847 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: So those days that we have to play him, we 848 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: doubled down on their scores. An, yeah, I think you 849 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 1: take Gallup. I'm fine with that. I like Lavisco a 850 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: lot too, but I would take Gallup. We're cruising along here. Yeah, 851 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 1: we're up against it too. We are up against it here. 852 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: Um this top suggested player James Conner Tony Pollard. Do 853 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 1: we take Tony Pollard here? Because we've got I think 854 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 1: he's usable in a pinch with Zeke on a bye 855 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: week two and then I'd probably done it running back unforth. 856 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: He's done with Cowboys too. Yeah, we're probably Cowboy out 857 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 1: before him now right. Uh, let's take a tight back 858 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 1: up tight end here, Dallas Goddard's still available. Yea, yeah, 859 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 1: take that in a heartbeat. I would take some home 860 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 1: run flyers at receiver or a wattle or you know, 861 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 1: someone of that nature. The top suggested player for a 862 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd Aguilar, Let Tavis Murray, Joe Burrow, No, no, no, 863 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 1: but Jalen reagor Nelson Aguilar, Rashod Bateman, Bateman. He's not 864 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 1: gonna start a season. Yeah, let's take a hang out 865 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 1: for a while, and we got a couple of picks 866 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 1: left here. But think he'll be their best receiver and 867 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: that injury hurts the Ravens a lot. Need a backup quarterback. 868 00:44:56,120 --> 00:45:02,240 Speaker 1: We'll take still there. Yeah, we'll just take him. Burrows. 869 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:07,439 Speaker 1: Fine for moving on the round fourteen year real quick. 870 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna take a defense and a kicker and that 871 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,879 Speaker 1: should do it. Our top defense available. We're gonna take 872 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I'm fine with it. I knew you would be. Yeah, 873 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,319 Speaker 1: you love the Patriots. And then we will take our 874 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 1: kicker and that we'll do it for the draft in 875 00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 1: our kickers got it in under the buzzer. Jason Sanders boom, 876 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: done finished. That's it. Our receivers are not great. We 877 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 1: gotta see. We got a seventy five out of a hundred. 878 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 1: But that's gonna do it. For today's show. He is 879 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 1: Matt Williamson.
