Speaker 2: our final show of the regular season, just three segments left, man, Matt,

6
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: I swear we were just in Latrobe yesterday getting this

7
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: thing going. It is amazing how fast, you know, July

8
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: to January flies every single year with training camp, the

9
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: end of summer, back to school, holiday season and all

10
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: that stuff, and it's like it's a mad dash, and

11
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, here we are staring down a

12
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: season finale with everything on the line against the Baltimore Ravens.

13
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: And I want to talk a little matchup centric stuff

14
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: with you here, a little thing that we do called

15
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: five Start Friday. We're humbled and excited to be in

16
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: these five star matchups.

17
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: Five star matchup.

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: Somebody leaving here with the loves not gonna be us?

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: Better not be us, or else we'll worry about that Monday, Matt.

20
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: So much of this We're gonna talk a couple specifics here,

21
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: but so much of this centers around Derrick Henry obviously,

22
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: Oh sure, and you know our buddy Bob Labriola sends

23
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: us like this research packet every week about the matchup

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: and some of the stuff that that Derrick Henry has accomplished.

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: This year's is just insane. Players with the most seasons

26
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: with at least ten rushing touchdowns in NFL history. He

27
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: now tied Adrian Peterson. He did this in week thirteen.

28
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: Tied Adrian Peterson for second most in league history. Only

29
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: Ladani and Tom and Emmett Smith tied ap and Emitt

30
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: Smith for second most eight seasons with ten or more

31
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns. Only La Danian Tomlinson has more with nine.

32
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

33
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: Players with the most consecutive seasons consecutive seasons with at

34
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: least ten rushing touchdowns. He's second in that regard to

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: behind only La danleyan Thomlinson. Players with the most seasons

36
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: with at least twelve rushing touchdowns in the NFL. He's

37
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: tied with the Danian Tomlinson for first overall at seven

38
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: most games in NFL history for a running back with

39
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: at least two rushing touchdowns Ladanian Tomlinson number one, Hall

40
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: of Fame, Emmett Smith number two, Hall of Fame, Derrick

41
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: Henry number three.

42
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: And the longer careers. They had, longer careers, had more games.

43
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: And players with the most games with at least two

44
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: hundred rushing yards in NFL history, So most games with

45
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: two hundred or more yards. After last week, Derrick Henry

46
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: now stands alone with the most in NFL history, seven,

47
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: passing the tie that he had to break that tie

48
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: with Adrian Peterson. And I'm sorry, I just can't say

49
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: his name without chuckling a little bit. O. J. Simpson.

50
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: Wow, his career stuff's crazy. It's unbelievable, going up the

51
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: all time touchdown list and all time rushing yards list,

52
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: and you know, his December stuff, December January stuff is

53
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: way better than anyone in unbelievable. I mean, he's like

54
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 3: a one hundred and two yards per game after November,

55
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: I mean, and no one else is even at one hundred.

56
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: I mean, and people were in the high nineties.

57
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: You know.

58
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: So this is not time you want to face him.

59
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: He's coming off one of his best games ever. Maybe

60
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: he's not quite as dynamic as he was in his prime,

61
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: but he's still a huge problem.

62
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: He's a massive problem. Yeah, And would just thirty one

63
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: rushing yards against the Steelers, he will join Barry Sanders

64
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: as the only two players in NFL history with five

65
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: career seasons with at least fifteen hundred rushing yards. He

66
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: currently has fourteen sixty nine, so needs just thirty one

67
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: to tie Barry Sanders as the only two to do something.

68
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: All the names just mentioned that he's compared to, they're

69
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: either the.

70
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: Ball time Hall of famers or someone like Adrian Peterson

71
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: who's going to be a Hall of Famer pretty soon.

72
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and say you one about OJ I think he's

73
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: like one of the most underrated running backs ever. Yeah,

74
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: in terms of the pat you know who's on the

75
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 3: field if.

76
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 2: You stay in between, if you stay in between the

77
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: white lines. Yeah, he was. He was unbelievable.

78
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 3: And for a while there before last week, Henry getting

79
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: to fifteen hundred ish was kind of quiet, you know,

80
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 3: like he wasn't winning your fantasy league rights or you know,

81
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: but he's inevitable.

82
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: Consistency. Consistency. Yeah, So, Matt, what's it look like for

83
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: the Steelers? How do you go about slowing down, limiting

84
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: whatever the term is, because you're not going to shut

85
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: this guy down. No, but what's the what's the onus,

86
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: what's the game plan? You know, if you're if you're

87
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: running the defensive meetings, what are some things that you're

88
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: highlighting that we have to do to this guy and

89
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: not let him run wildly he did last week at Lambeau.

90
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: The book's easy, it's just making it happen is hard.

91
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 3: It's it's making him chop his feet, not get to

92
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: full speed at the line of scrimmage. Get I mean

93
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: penetration is hit backfield, yes, or make him change He's

94
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: not the best change direction back compared to Tomlinson and

95
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: OJ and all those guys too. But once he gets

96
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: like Greg co Sales calls his guys a track back,

97
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: you know, like when you get on the train tracks

98
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: watch him stop in the locomotive was no fun. But

99
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 3: he's not going to be real wiggily compared to great bashes.

100
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: Compared to Jamior Gibbs, Yeah yeah, I'm La Dati and Thomlinson,

101
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: who we were talking about.

102
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 3: Being six three two forty five, he's got pretty good wiggle,

103
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,559
Speaker 3: but I mean still that that's definitely how it needs

104
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: to be done. Now this brings me back to the

105
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: thing I was talking about with Lamar though too is

106
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 3: last year we saw two games against those two at

107
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: the height of their power, and one game they folks,

108
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: I mean on the on like the zone read stuff.

109
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: They focused on Henry okay, and Lamar at a big game, sure,

110
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: and then they focused on Lamar and Henry had a

111
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: big game. And there really is no answer if they're

112
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 3: running that zone read thing, because then all of a sudden,

113
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: Jackson's legs are much more important than they have been

114
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 3: the last couple of months totally. So that worries me

115
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: right away. Like if they're calling a lot of the

116
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: zone read stuff and he's keeping it and everyone's crashing

117
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: on Henry and there goes Lamar for twelve and then

118
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: starts out of bounds, like this could be that doubles

119
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: your problem. Yeah, it doubles your problem in the run game.

120
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: I would be shocked though, if the Steelers are as less,

121
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: if they were as non competitive as the Packers were,

122
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 3: You know that defense should be ashamed themselves for a

123
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: lot of that, and they turned down a lot that.

124
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 3: I don't think the Steelers will. I also think you'll

125
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: probably if we start talking tactics, I bet there's gonna

126
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: be a lot of snaps. Whereas a Flowers is the

127
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: only receiver on the field, there are one in the field.

128
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: Recard's playing more and more. They're gonna play with a

129
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: lot of tight ends, so I think you're yeah. And

130
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: actually Kohlar is playing a lot too because he's their

131
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: best blocker, so he's actually got more. I think he

132
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: had more snaps than likely or Andrews against the Packers.

133
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: And they also the lead and they're pounding you with

134
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 3: their big people. But Ricard, they're playing old school Recard

135
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: in the eye as like the lead fullback. Usually he's

136
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: a move piece. But I mean it's like no mystery

137
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: at all.

138
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: It's not traditional thirteen personnel, but it's a similar type

139
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: of yeah.

140
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: You know, I mean, we're gonna say some both sides

141
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 3: of the ball. I think that this is gonna be

142
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: I don't mention. I was on with Ross, he's a

143
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: former offensive lineman, and we were kind of giggling, like

144
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: it's his kind of game. It's like, there's gonna be

145
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: so many big people on the field, like I wish

146
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: Washington was out there, one more big. It's one big guy.

147
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: You're short on offense, but I expect there to be

148
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 3: huge people on the field, and I think the Steelers

149
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: are probably gonna play a fair amount of snaps with

150
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: only three defensive backs on the field, and that doesn't

151
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: happen very much in this league.

152
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: No.

153
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: I mean, now, Douggar is a pretty big bodied guy, sure,

154
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: but you might be taking Pierre or Samuel off the

155
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: field and Porters running around with Flowers and two safeties

156
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: because things they've done against the Ravens more than other

157
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: teams is they'll bring the extra linebacker in, whether it's

158
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 3: an outside guy you know, Herbig or Watt in this case,

159
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: or Harrison Harrison, I bet you see a fair amount

160
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: of extra front seven people that it's just going to

161
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 3: be a big.

162
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 4: Personeah heavy box physicality, like Bill Hillgrove said in an

163
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 4: alley way right, fist fight in the parking lot type

164
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 4: of type of football game from these teams.

165
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: One thing I'll touch on too. So there's a lot

166
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: of matchups here that scare you. Sure, Henry's a handful,

167
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: you know, Yeah.

168
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: The title we talked about Zay Flowers yesterday.

169
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: And really even on the other side of the ball,

170
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 3: which I know we'll get to know who's gonna beat

171
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: Man coverage, who's gonna make plays for you? But what

172
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: I keep coming back to, and I think about this

173
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: game more and more, is so much in Ravens Steelers

174
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: or playoff football or this time of year comes down

175
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: to who's better on the line of scrimmage. Totally, the

176
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: Steelers are better on both lines of scrimmage, and I

177
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: think it's pretty substantial right now.

178
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: Like hard to argue on the defensive front from Baltimore's

179
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: standpoint without Metabuque, where they were already light in that

180
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: regard and then lost probably their most significant contributor.

181
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: Because I think the old lines by far in the

182
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: best spot it's been all.

183
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 2: Year the Steelers.

184
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: I would love that Washington in this game.

185
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: But Raven's offensive line isn't a disaster, but it's also

186
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: not what it's been in the past.

187
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: Especially the guards. And Linderbaum is a really good player,

188
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 3: but if he's not gonna deal with Cam's bull rush,

189
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 3: I mean, he's an undersized movement leverage dude. And the

190
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: tackles are okay, But I mean, I really think if

191
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 3: both lines of scrimmage distinctly favor the Steelers more than

192
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 3: we've talked about all week, and that's encouraging. Yeah, yeah,

193
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 3: I mean again, I mean, you'd love to have the

194
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 3: best quarterback or Henry or blah blah blah, but I

195
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: might take being better on the line of scrimmage for

196
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: this game for this type of right, right, right. So

197
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: I was listening on podcasts on the way here, and

198
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: I just wanted to put this in perspective for people.

199
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 3: So Brandon Thorn, to me, is the best media O

200
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 3: line guru out there. You google him if you want.

201
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: I've talked to him a couple of times. He's really,

202
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: really good. There's not a lot of O line specialists

203
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 3: out there.

204
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 2: Max Starks as a fan of his. Two Oh, I bet,

205
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 2: I bet, I'm gonna go ahead and take both of

206
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: your words for.

207
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: It, Okay, and the other name who's not as much

208
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: in media, but you'll hear him here and there as

209
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 3: Duke Mannyweather, and.

210
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: He does like the Center Summit, doesn't He is that

211
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: line masterminds mastermins.

212
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: A new thing now that we're it's an O line convention.

213
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 3: All the coaches are there, he runs it. He trains

214
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: guys in the office.

215
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: And for some reason I thought it was only centers,

216
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: but it's the entire line.

217
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 3: It's the entire o line Masterminds I think is the

218
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: name of his company. But anyways, Brandon and Duke do

219
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: a podcast once a year and it came out this

220
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: morning and it's their all Pro team and they go

221
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 3: three deep at every position and they don't just pick

222
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: three tackles, they go three.

223
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: Left tackles the position.

224
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, they're real nerdy about it.

225
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: It'd be like like Wolf would love listening to it.

226
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: Oh they love it. I mean, I'm gonna mention the

227
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 3: MAXI no time I see him because if he hasn'tntill

228
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 3: love it too. And they go into depths and there's

229
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 3: some dudes and you wouldn't think about.

230
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: It's like four hundred level football conversation PhD.

231
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 3: The best line conversation you could listen to out there.

232
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: Like they took Peter Scarnsky from the Titans as their

233
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: number one left guard, you know, like you wouldn't think

234
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: that attention to or their number one center was Aaron Brewer,

235
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: who we talked about for Miami. Yes, been phenomenal, But

236
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: my point is there were no Ravens on the list,

237
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: but they went three deep at center. They went Brewer one,

238
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 3: they went Creed Humphrey two, and they went Frasier nice,

239
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: you know, and they felt very strong about it. They said,

240
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: these are definitely the three. I'm not number four is

241
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 3: a distant four.

242
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: Can we get some of those guys in the NFC please,

243
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 2: so my guy Zach can start getting some recognition.

244
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. But at right tackle, I thought this was

245
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: really interesting too. They all, they're the biggest Lane Johnson

246
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 3: fans on the planet.

247
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: Real quick, Sorry, do they do it just three or

248
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: do they do three for AFC? Three for NFL?

249
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 3: Three? Period three?

250
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: Period?

251
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 3: Three period? So Lane Johnson missed a lot of times.

252
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 3: So they picked Penney Seol as their number one right tackle.

253
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: But they said, I can't leave Leane off. They said,

254
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: Lane's the best offensive lineman on the planet right now.

255
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: We's played like eight games, so we're gonna make them

256
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: team two. But out of respect, I.

257
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 2: Mean, he's had an incredible career.

258
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 3: FL Tawny was a three.

259
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: Wow, I mean these are the these are these are conversations.

260
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: They're not tied to the Steelers, no, not at.

261
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 3: All, you know, And that third right tackle spot wasn't easy.

262
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 3: There was guys like right from the Bear Darnel Wright. Yep,

263
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: that they like a lot too, and there's a lot

264
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: of good right tackles right now. But this is the

265
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: light these guys are in. And you know, Duke was

266
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: even like, this is Troy's rookie year, right, you know,

267
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 3: let's not forget that.

268
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: It's always sophomore season, exactly right.

269
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: They're both drafted the same year, but Troy did get

270
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 3: to really play, you know.

271
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: And not to toot our own horns. But one of

272
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: the predictions that you made, we made part of me,

273
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: both of them at the beginning of the season, was

274
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: that by the end of the year, the rest of

275
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: the football world would be calling Zach Fraser and Troy

276
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: FALTONU stars. I still have that. I still have that

277
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: in my notes from August. Some of the other predictions

278
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 2: that we made that we'll revisit at some point in

279
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: the off season. But that's great to see. That's a

280
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: massive development.

281
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: And that's why I wanted to give these guys resumes

282
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: because I trust them more than anybody. Yes, like they

283
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: picked Jonah Jackson from the Rams. No one's like, who's

284
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 3: Jones Jackson. He's one of the best guards.

285
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: Only they're not just picking pretty names. And and you know,

286
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: given some fluff. Credit to him. It's like real any

287
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: of that kind of stuff, the real offensive line dorks

288
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: who know the positions and grind the tape.

289
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 3: And but back to this game, I think the trenches

290
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 3: greatly favored the Steelers.

291
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: Well that's great then, and let's use that to kind

292
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: of piggyback to the other side of the football where Matt.

293
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: I don't think like sometimes in these matchup segments there's

294
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: some unknown, some uncertainty. This to me is pretty straightforward.

295
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to have the receivers to

296
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: win very often against the Ravens talented secondary. That this

297
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: has to start with winning in the trenches and winning

298
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: at that second linebacker level for the Steelers run game.

299
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: So I tweeted this. I saw it this morning that

300
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 3: the Ravens played their highest percentage of man coverage all

301
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: year in the first meeting. Interesting, and Metcalf had a

302
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: bunch of explosives and he made him pay for it.

303
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: He did nobody else really very big explosive catches.

304
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: Nobody else really did, right, but he really did. And

305
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: then the Browns doubled down. That's what they do. And

306
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 3: we should have been stronger on that last week there's

307
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: some hindsight here, but that was an awful matchup for

308
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: a Metcalf list passing game because you're playing right into

309
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: their hands, like who's the my man beaters here?

310
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: You're playing into their strength without your biggest without without.

311
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 3: Your biggest piece can make them pay for it. And thus,

312
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: what do you think is going to happen Sunday night?

313
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: You know, the Ravens are going to play a ton

314
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 3: of run it back, and they're gonna run it back,

315
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: and they're going to do what they did before. I

316
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 3: think it was like forty eight percent, which is a

317
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: really high percentage of man for this league. They may

318
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 3: be at sixty in this game. You know, like no

319
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: one's like a hundred percent, you know, I mean, it

320
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 3: doesn't work that way. But and I don't think all

321
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 3: of a sudden, the Steers created a bunch of new

322
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: Man beaters from the wide receiver position. So it's gonna

323
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: be tough Sletting. Now, I don't think they're as good

324
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: at playing man single high as Browns are. They're not.

325
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 3: I mean, they don't have ward, it's not as much

326
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: what they do. But the biggest thing is their pass rushes,

327
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 3: and it's good you know, like it's easier to play

328
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: man with Myles Garrett's rush, of course, you know what

329
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: I mean. So that's where they fall short, is their

330
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 3: pass rush won't be as good. Now nobody blitzes Rogers.

331
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: He's like the least blitz quarterback in the league. Raven's

332
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: manufacturer pressure through blitz. He may sting them a little bit.

333
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: I mean, if he can hold the ball a little

334
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 3: longer because their pass rush isn't good, could the Thielings

335
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 3: and mvs's have half a second longer to get open?

336
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: You know? But that's kind of stuff I'm looking at.

337
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: But in the end, I almost think, and we've said

338
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: this a lot of fridays, you know, who runs the

339
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: ball better might be? Might be what it all comes down.

340
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, I was I was literally

341
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: about to say, like, stop me if you guys have

342
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: heard this before. But it sounds like the game plan

343
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: for the Steelers offense is run the ball, run the ball,

344
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: run the ball, run the ball. And that was a

345
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: little critical to our show the last couple of fridays.

346
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: But because they're good at it. Because they're good at.

347
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: It, that's the thing. I don't know if they know

348
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: they're good at it, sometimes you know, with it. And

349
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 3: I was a little critical on Monday, Man, you're not

350
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 3: doing anything through the air. Just lean on Warre and

351
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 3: lean on game. Well, run the ball, run the ball,

352
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 3: run the ball. And some of their pass splits got

353
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 3: skewed against the Browns because the last driver to throw, throw, throw,

354
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: But I still thought they should have been run heavier

355
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: in neutral situations.

356
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: Yes, it can always be easy to pick apart certain

357
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 2: individual statistics. But yeah, I don't want to come in

358
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 2: here on Monday and we're recapping this game and Jalen

359
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 2: Warren has twelve carries.

360
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, he touched the ball fourteen times this game, Like, oh.

361
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 2: I want that to be lost. I want that number

362
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: in the twenties. Yeah, could be low twenties, but I

363
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 2: want it in the twenties.

364
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 3: I mean, what's the number we want him in gainwell

365
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 3: or combined touches? Thirty maybe twenty eighth. Yeah, I mean

366
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: if you tell me it's twenty, I'm gonna be like, hey,

367
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: you lost.

368
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: I would like Warren to have nineteen to twenty two carries.

369
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple catches, A.

370
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: Couple catches, So let's say twenty four for him.

371
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 3: I'm thinking game wells and get six targets.

372
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean that would put you in thirty and

373
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: then maybe ten carries for him.

374
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: Forty yeah, yeah, forty touches between the two sounds like

375
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: a ton and it actually it is, you know, right,

376
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 3: but it's the only run sixty plays. But still, I mean,

377
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 3: I don't need mvs getting ten targets.

378
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 2: Exactly right, And that's right, that's just it to me.

379
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: It's in a situation like this, like I want to

380
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 2: I want to live or die with my best.

381
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: Playmaker and dance with Rung.

382
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right, right, exactly right. I throw Pat Fryarmouth

383
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: into that mix and give me a heavy dose of

384
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: both running backs.

385
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 3: Now, which Friar Moth brung us more. I think he's

386
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: been underutilized all year.

387
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe you wouldn't need to win this game if

388
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: that were the case. But different conversation for a different time.

389
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: I think that about covers it from a a matchup standpoint,

390
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 2: And yeah.

391
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 3: Around the league segment is going to be I was

392
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 3: just gonna say, there's a lot of games that aren't working.

393
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,239
Speaker 2: I was literally about to say this might be the

394
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 2: most anti climactic around the league segment that we've had

395
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 2: coming at you on the other side, but we still

396
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 2: got it. We still got to have it a couple

397
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: still in a couple important games and discuss We'll do

398
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: that and then obviously before we get out of here,

399
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: final thoughts predictions on Steelers Ravens at the bottom of

400
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: the hour as we roll along here on the Drive,

401
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: West Ruler Matt Williamson, Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers

402
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: Audio Network, your tunes.

403
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

404
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

405
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: Down the home stretch here, not only of this edition

406
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 2: of the Drive, but also on the twenty twenty five

407
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 2: now twenty twenty six NFL regular season. I've always been like,

408
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, is it's still twenty twenty five regular season?

409
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 2: I guess, but it's the twenty five twenty six regular season.

410
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

411
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: It gets a little I don't like basketball and hockey

412
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 3: do that? Yeah, it's both.

413
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: Which is always weird. It's like, is that team the

414
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 2: twenty five or like, whoever wins the NBA title this year?

415
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: Are they the twenty five or the twenty six champions?

416
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 3: Now?

417
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: I don't sure That's the one thing that I like

418
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: about the baseball schedule, is it all it's all contained

419
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: in one calendar year. But this is week eighteen. It's

420
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: the final week of the twenty five to twenty six

421
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: regular season here for the National Football League, and not

422
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: the greatest set of tie breakers and this happens to

423
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: that team and this and that. But there are obviously

424
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: still a few games that deserve highlighting. Matt two of them.

425
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: On Saturday. There are two important games on Saturday, and

426
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 2: it begins at four thirty with the only other winner

427
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: go home, sorry winner, move on, loser go home?

428
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, lose.

429
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 2: You know, two dogs one bone type games in Tampa

430
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 2: Bay at Raymond James Stadium, where the Bucks are three

431
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: point favorites over the Panthers. Winner wins the NFC South

432
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 2: and hosts a playoff game next week. The loser hits

433
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: the off season by Monday morning, well by Sunday morning.

434
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 3: Tampa loses. I think Bulls could lose his job too.

435
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: I mean, if they were to go from what seven

436
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: one at one, six and one monument finishing seven and ten. Yeah,

437
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: and I know this is not fair to Bulls, but

438
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a lot of revisionist history of like

439
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: we let Liam Cohen go.

440
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: That's I think it was working to get some more

441
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 3: than anything. But those two the two well he's playing

442
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: is one of them. But the last two offensive coordinators

443
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: were so good that they've turned into very successful coaches.

444
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 3: And then he hires a third offensive coordinator which hasn't

445
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 3: been close to it's good.

446
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost like a victim of his own success

447
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: in hiring his coordinators there. It's almost it reminds me

448
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: the Brian Flores thing with the Steelers, Like you get

449
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 2: the credit for bringing in Flores and having them, but

450
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 2: then everyone's like, why didn't you keep them?

451
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

452
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: Right, he was moving up.

453
00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, what were you gonna do?

454
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: Just fire somebody so you can move him up. Like

455
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 2: it's it's not that simple.

456
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 3: We know how there's grumpy fans and there's always fans

457
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 3: that aren't happy with coaches no matter what. But I

458
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: mean in Tampa, the big thing is you should have

459
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 3: fired Bulls and kept coing.

460
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know that that's easy to say that

461
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: the Bucks have been to the playoffs for five straight years.

462
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: I know he was some of that was BA, but still,

463
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 2: like they know.

464
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 3: They've been a coordinator during that time too.

465
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, that to me is total like history bs like.

466
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 3: That never happens in the league where you fire the

467
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: head guy and a coordinator gets bumped up. Never keep

468
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 3: the stake.

469
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: It stinks that you lost Flores, it stinks that you

470
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: lost Liam Cohen. That's life in the National Football.

471
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 3: League, right, he did a good job hiring you know, right.

472
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: The same people who are probably crushing bulls are probably

473
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: the same ones who were like, look at the coaching tree,

474
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: you know.

475
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, right right right that being said, I can't bet

476
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: on the box.

477
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 2: The same I was just gonna say, I'm taking the

478
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: Panthers plus three. I think I would take him to

479
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,239
Speaker 2: win straight up.

480
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: I'm shocked they're getting that many points. And I don't

481
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: even think they're good. I'm not sure they're particularly good

482
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 3: at anything, but I just I'm done on the box.

483
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 3: I mean every week I'm like, oh, I think this

484
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 3: is the box will get back to what we think

485
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: they are. Mike Evans is back and maybe may Field

486
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 3: a little healthier, and you know, they just lose every week.

487
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 3: I'm done.

488
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 2: They have lost eight of their last nine. I think

489
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 2: it is something like that and I'm with you too.

490
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: I cannot pick the Bucks to win. I certainly can't

491
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: lay three points with Tampa Bay with the way that

492
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 2: they've been playing.

493
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a coin flip game at best for me,

494
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 3: for them, let alone. Do you realize they're not in

495
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 3: if they win. I didn't know that until yesterday. Who

496
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 3: the box? This is not a lose relief, I didn't so.

497
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: Oh something with Atlanta.

498
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: Yes, so we have an over this, but it's deep, deep,

499
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: deep down the tie breakers. And since Atlanta played Monday

500
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 3: night and won, it's not they need Atlanta to lose

501
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 3: to the Saints and win if you're the Bucks, because

502
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 3: they will all be eight and nine. Yeah, and a

503
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 3: team under five hundred, well go to the playoffs. But

504
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 3: they lose tiebreakers directly to the Falcons. So this is

505
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 3: not Carolina wins and they're in. But if Tampa wins,

506
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: they get to wait around. Interesting many people were talking

507
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: about that. I didn't know that until yesterday.

508
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 2: I didn't know that at all. Yeah, and then that

509
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: is weird to me than that they would make the

510
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: Falcons games. They put those games on opposite days, right, Like, yeah,

511
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: that's that, that's bizarre. But if the Panthers. If the

512
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: Panthers end up getting the job done, I think probably

513
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: most surprising division winner of the year would have would

514
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 2: have to.

515
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 3: Be have to be. I mean, the Bears are kind

516
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: of up there too, considering the Lions, and I mean.

517
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 2: It's a great one.

518
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 3: Minnesota won a bunch of games last year. You know,

519
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 3: it's good division.

520
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 2: Like I know, the NFC East is loaded, but I

521
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: don't think maybe Seattle, but I don't think that really

522
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 2: surprises to to that degree. The Bears is a great

523
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: shout by you too, just because of how good we

524
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 2: all the division is and the Packers.

525
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: And the Lions, how good they were last year.

526
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: Big one Saturday Night, not for you know, winter winter

527
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: stays loser, go home type scenario, but for the number

528
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 2: one seed in the first round by in the NFC.

529
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 2: The Seahawks travel to uh San Francisco, Santa Clara to

530
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: Levi Stadium, Niner Seahawks, eight o'clock Sunday, Saturday Night. Part

531
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: of me this has been a good rivalry in the

532
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: NFL now for for a while in the twenty first century,

533
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 2: these two teams have played some.

534
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 3: Very important games. Rustin Kaepernick and Harbor.

535
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: Richard Sherman's screaming about Michael Crabtree. When you try me

536
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: with the sorry bleat bleep bleep receiver like crab Tree,

537
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: that's what you're gonna get.

538
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 3: Raven Steelers.

539
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 2: For a while, this was this was maybe the game

540
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 2: of the year in the NFL for for a while.

541
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: Niners at home are one and a half point underdogs

542
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: Seattle laying one and a half points on the road

543
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: against San Francisco.

544
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 3: So I don't know if you know this. I'm sure

545
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 3: a lot of our listeners don't. Another little cool tibbitt

546
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 3: about this. If the Niners win, they will play every

547
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 3: remaining game, including the super Bowl, at home.

548
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: Didn't think about that? Yeah, absolutely right, that's.

549
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 3: I mean, they're of the number one seed and they

550
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 3: would host the super Bowl, the Super Bowl, I mean,

551
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: so they're never leaving town. That'd be awesome.

552
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 2: That's very nice for them.

553
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 3: That's a really nice situation.

554
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: This is that happened to the Rams when the Rams

555
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl like four or five years ago

556
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 2: against Since against Cincinnati, that was it. So far. They

557
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 2: were the first ever NFL team to win a Super

558
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 2: Bowl at home at home. But I don't know if

559
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 2: the first I don't know if they I don't know

560
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 2: if they were the one seed. No, I don't know

561
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 2: it had I'm pretty sure that it happened before where someone.

562
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 3: Had played in it.

563
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 2: But they were the first to win it, I believe

564
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 2: at their home stadium. But I don't know if they

565
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: were the one seed or not.

566
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 3: I don't know that either. I think it's a really

567
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: good game.

568
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: Four times tap in TV they were the four seeds,

569
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 2: they were the four seed.

570
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 3: I think this is gonna be a really good game.

571
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 3: San Francisco's defense is by far the weakest unit of

572
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 3: the four, but I think they're the best offense in

573
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 3: the league right now and are humming at a ridiculous level.

574
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sold on Donald as a big game

575
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 3: quarterback yet, I need to at least see it. He's

576
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 3: never played great in a big game, and as good

577
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 3: as Seattle is on all facets, their offenses come back

578
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 3: to earth a little a little bit, so is Donald.

579
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 3: I'm kind of shocked the Niners are a dog at home.

580
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 2: Same and I know their defense has not been great.

581
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 3: No, it's not.

582
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: I think a lot of those things that you just had.

583
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: This is a big spot for Seattle like this to

584
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: me almost feels like it means more for Seattle than

585
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 2: San Franz.

586
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean imagine them being the one seed, like

587
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: this is a highly successful.

588
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: Year, big time, and that's a really tough place to

589
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 2: play and for the NFC to go through. For the Niners,

590
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 2: it's just like it's amazing that you're in this opportunity

591
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 2: with all the injuries and all the loss you've had

592
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 2: this season.

593
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 3: Right Kittle's playing. I think Trent Williams. I know this

594
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 3: because I host with them, but there's a chance they're

595
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 3: gonna be on their third string left tackle, which is

596
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 3: not ideal. William's a total stud.

597
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I think I'll take the points with the Niners.

598
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: I know it's not much, it's only a point and

599
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 2: a half, but I think they've been so good at home.

600
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 2: They've been almost impossible to stop at home.

601
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 3: Their offense is just at a ridiculous level.

602
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: They score thirty some points. Again, It's yeah, they're gonna

603
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 2: be tough to beat. Matt Twice, it's happened two teams

604
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: have played a Super Bowl in their stadium in NFL history,

605
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: and it happened in back to back years twenty twenty

606
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 2: of course Tom Brady was the first to ever do it.

607
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 2: I should have remembered that the Bucks did it in

608
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty with Brady against the Chiefs, and then the

609
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: very next year the Rams did it at SOFI against

610
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: the Bengals. So it's happened twice and it was both

611
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: back to back years and the home team won both times.

612
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess it'll probably be more and more common

613
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 3: as more domes pop up across the country too.

614
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: Would I would definitely used.

615
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 3: To be the Saints in Miami and you know Pasadena.

616
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: Right there was only four or five host cities like

617
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: the Saints and Saints. And right onto the Sunday slate,

618
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: speaking of the Saints and the Falcons, what becomes a

619
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 2: big one there now in Atlanta one o'clock where the

620
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: Falcons are three and a half point favorites over the

621
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: upstart Saints and Tyler Schuck.

622
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 3: No chrysal Lava. But I'm still taking the Saints to

623
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 3: stay within three and a half.

624
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: They've been playing the playing good, not as well as anybody. Yeah, yeah,

625
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: I think that's what that number was. If that was

626
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: a one and a half number, I think i'd lay

627
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: them with Atlanta over three with New Orleans. I think

628
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 2: you're right. They're playing well and people.

629
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: Around here don't realize that's a huge rivalry.

630
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: It is a big rivalry. And the Falcons have been

631
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: so streaky, they've been so weak. Like what we've talked about,

632
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: there were those teams that has been such a week

633
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 2: the week, you know, proposition with those guys. They played

634
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: really well last week, they come back down to earth

635
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: a little bit this week, I think. So I'll take

636
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: the Saints plus three and a half. I'm with you

637
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: on that one. Cincinnati at home against the Browns where

638
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: some top ten pick seating is on the line here,

639
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 2: and of course Miles Garrett still looking to get that

640
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: single season sack record. Yes, it's a.

641
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 3: Hard one to assume because as we saw with the Steelers,

642
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 3: you can really scheme around one guy like that. You know,

643
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 3: I bet he does.

644
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 2: I think he does. It's tough. It's just tough to

645
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: see him getting shut out back to back weeks. Yeah,

646
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 2: he's just too good with that on the line. And

647
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: you know the Bengals are gonna let Burrow throw.

648
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna throw.

649
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 2: Cincinnati seven and a half point favorites at home there

650
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: in the Battle of Ohio.

651
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 3: I'll take the Bengals. They're playing pretty well, I mean

652
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 3: quiet kind of situation in that no one's paying attention.

653
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 3: They're eliminated, but the defense hasn't been horrendous lately. They

654
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: got all their weaponry pretty much on offense. I think

655
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 3: they win that game.

656
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: Seven and a half is tough, which it was under.

657
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 3: Seven and a half. There's some huge spreads as you

658
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: can imagine this week, which really cut There's very few

659
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 3: things I would actually put action on.

660
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like the Browns always give the Bengals

661
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: hell and these matchups too.

662
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 3: I'll take I'm gonna take the plus.

663
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the plus seven and a half. With Cleveland,

664
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: I think the Bengals win, but I don't know. If

665
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 2: they win by eight points, I'll take the round.

666
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 3: He's still playing strong.

667
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: Yes, uh, you know I like to do this. That

668
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: is your cheapest get in price of the weekend. In

669
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: that game, twenty six bucks will get you a ticket

670
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: to pay Course Stadium For the Battle of Ohio, Minnesota

671
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: hosts the Packers. Another Sunday one o'clock doesn't really mean much.

672
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: Clayton Tuone starting for the Packers, who yeah, Clayton tune

673
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 3: who they're locked into the seventh seed.

674
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: They don't want to let us see Milik Willis one

675
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: last time, do they.

676
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 3: I think the Ikes blow them out.

677
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: They're nine and a half point favorites at home. Oh wow,

678
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 2: it's a big number. It's one of the bigger numbers

679
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: of the weekend.

680
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 3: Flora's defense is flying around. Though. There are some of

681
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 3: these teams like Miami and since.

682
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, the Vikings kind of strike

683
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: me as Cincinnati of like in an alternate universe. They're

684
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: getting ready for the playoffs and you don't want to

685
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: see those guys.

686
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're playing well, but they're playing well the wrong

687
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 4: you know, too little, too late.

688
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're beating anybody.

689
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: If they're beating anybody by ten points.

690
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 3: I mean, they're still a quarterback issues.

691
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: I'll take the Packers plus ten the Vikings. The Vikings

692
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: win a low score. This is also like the lowest

693
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: over under of the week, with only thirty six and

694
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: a half for the over under. There said that.

695
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 3: Game is like a five and a half or six.

696
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 3: When you said nine and a.

697
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 2: Half, I was like, I'll take the Packers. Yeah, I

698
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: guess I'll take them to not lose by ten.

699
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: I assume they're sitting everybody, though.

700
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 2: I would think so. At MetLife, the Giants host the

701
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: Cowboys Dallas three and a half point favorites.

702
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 3: I don't think the Cowboys. I mean they're still trotting

703
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 3: out Dak and Pickens and Lamb and those guys.

704
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't mean much to either team, but I

705
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: know Dallas just a much more talented roster.

706
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 3: No, yeah, yeah, yeah, And I think the Giants wouldn't

707
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 3: mind losing that too.

708
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. Jacksonville against another team who might not mind losing,

709
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans, this one in Florida. The Jags Matt

710
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: with a win would go thirteen and four and win

711
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 2: the division. Who saw that coming back back in August.

712
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: They're thirteen and a half point favorites at home.

713
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 3: Every Friday, I do a locked on NFL show with

714
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: the Jags host. His name's Amp Wig, good dude, and

715
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 3: he said, they're playing everyone like crazy in this game.

716
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 3: You know, they're kind of looking to blow your doors

717
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 3: off both sides of the.

718
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: Ball, and they're not going to get the first round

719
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: by so No.

720
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 3: But they win the division with the division that's super important,

721
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 3: and they're looking to roll momentum. And yeah, yeah, I'm

722
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 3: still taking the Titans though, because the Houston game's going

723
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 3: on at the same time and I'm sure they'll be

724
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 3: scoreboard watching. But I just think Tennessee's feisty. I mean,

725
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 3: like Ward's playing pretty well.

726
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: I've got the best left guard in football, goodly good

727
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 2: left guard.

728
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: The end of the year hasn't been bad for them.

729
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: No, it hasn't. You know, they're not rolling over and

730
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: dying and all that.

731
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: They're not a junk team. You know, they're at least

732
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 3: trending the right direction.

733
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: They're okay in the trenches.

734
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

735
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they've got they've got a quarterback who is promising, promising.

736
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, They've run the ball pretty well. Yeah. I mean

737
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 3: it's a huge spread.

738
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: Right, it's thirteen and a half.

739
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, just take the point.

740
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: Take the Titans. Yeah, to have to cover two touchdowns,

741
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: I think that's smart. And it might even be one

742
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: of those where the Jags are up twenty one points

743
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: in the third quarter, but then Tennessee scores ten.

744
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 3: And they pull Lawrence out because they have it won exactly.

745
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: That's probably the way I think it happens.

746
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: The scoreboard watching in Houston, or maybe the score watching

747
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville as it relates to Houston. The Texans host

748
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: the Colts at one o'clock. Matt If a couple months ago,

749
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: we would have said that this game would would be

750
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: for a playoff spot. One of these teams would be

751
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: eliminated and one would still have an outside shot of

752
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 2: winning the division. I think would be like, oh, the Colts, you.

753
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 3: Know, they took a little bit of a step back,

754
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 3: but they're still going to make the playoffs.

755
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: No, it's the Texans, who are eleven and two in

756
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: their last thirteen games, their ten point favorites at home

757
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 2: over the floundering Riley Leonards starting quarterback Indianapolis Colts.

758
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 3: I'm still taking the points.

759
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 2: I mean, Houston's another one, Like, I don't know if

760
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 2: they'd score enough on offense to win a game by

761
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 2: yeah thirteen.

762
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 3: Their defense might keep them to ten points or whatever,

763
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: but I don't know that they're going to put up

764
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 3: thirty themselves.

765
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 2: Here's my only thing for this one is are the Colts.

766
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 2: Have the Colts done the Cancun on three thing? The

767
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: way that this season's played out, and it's so disappointing

768
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 2: of an end, and it's like we're on the road.

769
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 2: Who cares? Just get me out of here.

770
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, I don't know.

771
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 2: I might lay the points with Houston. Now I'm thinking

772
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 2: this out loud. I get it because of all the

773
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: teams with nothing to play for in Week eighteen, the

774
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: Colts might be the most disappointed amongst that group.

775
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 3: Like soft Gardner's not gonna play obviously, and guys like that.

776
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: I mean, like we were rightly, let's see what you

777
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 3: can do.

778
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 2: We were just seven and two and now we're eight

779
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 2: and eight.

780
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 3: That's right. I mean, I wouldn't touch any of these games,

781
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 3: but I'm just kind of looking at it like division matchup,

782
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 3: trying to kind of be spoiler. If you're give me

783
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 3: ten points plus, you know, I'll take it.

784
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 2: I don't like any of these.

785
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 3: I really know.

786
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo just seven and a half point favorites at home

787
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 2: against the Jets. Does that mean Josh Allen ain't playing.

788
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: I think it's Trubisky and I still think they win.

789
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: I still think they win.

790
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 3: I'll probably lay those I'll take the bills.

791
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, seven and a half isn't a it's more

792
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 2: than a touchdown. But the Jets are bad.

793
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 3: I say, Jets and Raiders. I'm not picking.

794
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: That's the last, you know, the last Orchard Park game. Yeah,

795
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 2: place will be rocking and there'll be a lot of

796
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: emotion in the building.

797
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 3: Like I would assume they sit down James Cook, but

798
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 3: they're probably playing like they're all their receivers and the

799
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: whole offensive line at least to start. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

800
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 3: I think the Bills are just terrible.

801
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 2: That's the biggest thing for me is the Jets are another.

802
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 2: They've got their they've got their vacation plans made, and

803
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 2: they're just they're just trying to see this thing.

804
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 3: Let's say what you want about Mitch, but he's an

805
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 3: NFL quarterback.

806
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, oh absolutely. Bears hosting the Lions, Matt This

807
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 2: is one that a few weeks ago, maybe a month

808
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 2: or two ago, looked like it could have massive implications. Instead,

809
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 2: the Bears three point favorites at home against the eight

810
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: and eight Lions.

811
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 3: The Bears and Eagles are weird because I think the

812
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 3: Eagles are seating.

813
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 2: There's some seating stuff still.

814
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 3: They're gonna be two and three, but it depends if

815
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 3: they But that's as far as they can go. It'll

816
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 3: be two and three or three and two. And I

817
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 3: know the Eagles are playing Tanner McKee. Yes, I assume

818
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 3: the Bears are playing everyone. But I just think Campbell

819
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 3: will play hard. That's They're not a roll over and

820
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 3: die CanCon team at all. I'm gonna take the I'll

821
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 3: take the points. I just don't know what the Bears

822
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 3: are gonna trot it out there.

823
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 2: It's a good point because i've.

824
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 3: Seen any reports on that, because that's one of those

825
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 3: young I don't know that I'd be resting everybody.

826
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 2: But it could also be they played till halftime and yeah, yeah,

827
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 2: that's a thing. I think I'm going to take the points.

828
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 2: With the Lions, there's a lot of unknown With the Bears.

829
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 3: I would think Campbell wants to finish the season strong.

830
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 2: Mile High Stadium Broncos Chargers seating implications in this one.

831
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 2: Denver wins and they are the one seat in the

832
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 2: AFC and they get to buy and the conference runs

833
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: through Mile High Chargers, we know, shutting down Herbert Denver

834
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: twelve and a half point favorites at home. It's a

835
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 2: big number. Now, that's a big number.

836
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 3: I guess I'll take Denver. I don't like it at all.

837
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 2: What's crazy is it's only a thirty seven and a

838
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 2: half over and under some.

839
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're expecting the Chargers not to put any points up, yes,

840
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 3: which I mean it's a side note. But if I

841
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 3: ever brought up the JT. O. Sullivan football school or

842
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 3: quarterback school, I don't think So. He's got a YouTube

843
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 3: page and he breaks down the all twenty two and

844
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 3: I was watching just last night. I was watching Herbert

845
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 3: last week against the Texans. And to say they don't

846
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 3: block anybody, I mean, just watch it on TV. It's

847
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 3: like they don't block.

848
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: Anything like me and you out there blocking for justin Herbert.

849
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 3: They blow assignments left in right too, like these guys

850
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 3: have never played with each other, you know, and against

851
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: that Denver front, I'm gonna have a hard time with that.

852
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 3: Her Herbert bails them out over and over.

853
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 2: That's a lot. That's a lot of points to lay.

854
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 2: But I think the Broncos will be engaged because they

855
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 2: know if they get the job done, they get a

856
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 2: week off. Oh yeah, like they're you know, hanker and

857
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 2: arrest people. When when you get.

858
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: The job, they're gonna want to win. Yes, I mean

859
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 3: they may pool guys in the last series or something.

860
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 2: Sure, but right, which is the only thing that gives

861
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: me pause is and the Chargers back door cover at

862
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 2: the end. But I'm with you, I'll lay. I think

863
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 2: the safer bet is to lay the twelve and a

864
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 2: half with den It's a big number one Raiders host

865
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. I don't think either team wants to win

866
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 2: this game. Mat Kansas City is five and a half

867
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 2: point favorite.

868
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 3: I just kind of made a statement that I'm not

869
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 3: taking the Jets of Raiders in any game the end

870
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 3: of season, so I'll stick with that. But I mean,

871
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 3: it's is this gonna be Kenny versus.

872
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: I believe so, same draft, last same draft platform, a

873
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: couple of former Stellars out there slinging it in Sin City.

874
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 3: Kenny's better than him?

875
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 2: Has therese Has there ever been a game in NFL

876
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 2: history where both fan bases have wanted their team to

877
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: lose as much as they will at four to twenty

878
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 2: five on Sundays, could win though they absolutely could.

879
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 3: I mean that would and then it'd be terrible.

880
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: That'd be terrible, right if you beat this bump Chief

881
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 2: team meetingless game and it costs you, Fernando Mendoza.

882
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 3: And by the way, the Chiefs end up like the

883
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 3: fifth pick in the draft and you gotta play against

884
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 3: them twice a year or two.

885
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 2: Did you see Mendoza's I.

886
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 3: Wonder if Kansas City would like the Raiders to win,

887
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 3: probably like I don't. I don't want you to get

888
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 3: the first I don't want you.

889
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: Did you see Mendoza's postgame interview after the Rose Bowl? Yes,

890
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 2: weapons grade level, dork. I tell you, man, weapons grade

891
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: level about that?

892
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 3: In draft season. I'm just not sure, dude, I'm not

893
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 3: sure I can get there. I did not see the interview,

894
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 3: but I might have to look it up. Matt On's

895
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: like like.

896
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 2: Ben Roethlisberger, Joe Montana, the coolest guy in the room,

897
00:39:59,360 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 2: walking in.

898
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 3: Like Johnny and night As, smoking a cigarette, a Ken

899
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 3: stabler with a gallon of whiskey, with his olignement.

900
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 2: Hey, listen, Kayleb Williams painting his nails and all that

901
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 2: goofy stuff. I think we're getting there. I think we're

902
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: getting there. The Rams host the Cardinals eight and a

903
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 2: half point favorites at SOFI.

904
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 3: They said they're playing everyone, but I bet it's only

905
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 3: for like a series.

906
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking too. The Cardinals are one and

907
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: thirteen in their last fourteen games.

908
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 3: Why would you keep Stafford out there.

909
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 2: I don't like the eight and a half number because

910
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 2: I think it'll be low scoring now, But I'm leaning

911
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 2: on the side of the Rams because I think the

912
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: Cardinals are one of those.

913
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,399
Speaker 3: They don't get to the finish line.

914
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 2: Can couon on three.

915
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the Cardinals just because I think mcveigh's

916
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 3: history of resting people, especially in the preseason. It's true

917
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 3: he values much stronger than he does this statement that

918
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 3: we're gonna play everybody. Yeah, you're gonna play everybody, but

919
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 3: they're gonna play one series.

920
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 2: Patriots still will be keeping an eye on the Broncos

921
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: to see if they have a chance to get that

922
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,959
Speaker 2: one seed there at home against the Dolphins four twenty five,

923
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: eleven and a half favorites are New England.

924
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 3: Miami's playing pretty well again. Yeah, I mean we talked

925
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 3: about this when the Steelers played them. Their wins aren't

926
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: against powerhouses.

927
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 2: But there's seven and nine.

928
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 3: There's seven and nine. Actually, yours has played pretty well.

929
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: Aliast been terrible.

930
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 3: I thought he was gonna be bad.

931
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 2: Say, I thought he was going to be a disaster. Yea, hey,

932
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 2: maybe he'll be one of these guys that can be

933
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: a good long term backup in this league.

934
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Miami said, coach knows how to manufacture offense.

935
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: He can scheme it up.

936
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 3: I'm definitely taking the points. I actually kind of like

937
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 3: this one. And my thought is Drake may maybe looking

938
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 3: the whole fourth quarter with a baseball cap on because

939
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 3: of Denver's winning.

940
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: Big and they're like, get him out of him, out

941
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 2: of here.

942
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 3: You got we don't have a buy next week. Yes,

943
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 3: and Miami's gonna play hard.

944
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: Last one Matt Eagles Commanders. This is another one that

945
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure the schedule makers thought would be a week eighteen,

946
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 2: but instead he goals only four and a half point

947
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: favorites because I they're going to rest some people and

948
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 2: shut some people down.

949
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 3: Well, McKee's definitely starting, Yeah, and I think he's pretty good.

950
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 3: Actually he is. He's one of these, like Willis backup

951
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 3: Mac Jones guys that I think could be.

952
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: I think I told you this, but you know, I'm

953
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 2: pretty in tap with the Philly market, Yeah, because I

954
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 2: worked there for three years. My wife's from there in laws,

955
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 2: some people prefer to hurt. I've still got a lot

956
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 2: of I've still got a lot of Philly friends in

957
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 2: the media that cover that team that I worked with

958
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 2: for three years. When I was living there. Last year,

959
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: they were all like, why' is Kenny pick at our

960
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 2: number two? It should be Tanner McKee. Yeah, And there's

961
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, there's even some crazies in Philly that

962
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 2: think he is better than Jalen Hurts. But they're really

963
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 2: high on that guy.

964
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 3: I know. I mean again, story for another day, But

965
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 3: if we have the conversation in a month, should the

966
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 3: Steelers straight a third round pick for McKee, I'd be like,

967
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 3: let's have this conversation. Yeah, I mean, like, I think

968
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 3: he's that kind of guy. And I think Washington's on

969
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 3: their third quarterback. I don't think Mariota is playing I might.

970
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 3: I forget who even that is. I'll take the Eagles.

971
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 3: They have a little bit to play.

972
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 2: For, a little bit to play for. It's not a

973
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: defensive it's not a massive spread. It's only four, and

974
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 2: it's not seven and a half or eight and a half.

975
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 2: Their defense is awesome. They're at home.

976
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 3: I would think Barkley gets shut down.

977
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 2: I think so, yeah, but I think the Eagles are

978
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 2: going to play with some pride and want to win that.

979
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 2: And yeah, you'll go into the postseason.

980
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, at the same time as the Bears they do.

981
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 2: Yes, same time, Yes, same ting time. Yep. So that's

982
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 2: your slate, except for, of course, the final game of

983
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 2: the weekend, which is late pretty lucky, but not this

984
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 2: one Raven Steelers in primetime on Sunday Night. We'll give

985
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 2: final thoughts and predictions when we return on the other side.

986
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: As we close down this show on a Friday, West Huler,

987
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 2: Matt Williams and it's the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio

988
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 2: on the Steelers Audio Network.

989
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on your twenty four to seven

990
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal, Steelers Nation Radio.

991
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 2: Down the home stretch. Here we are Steelers Ravens Sunday

992
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 2: Night football. Winner moves on, loser goes home. We've got

993
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: two things that we have to discuss. One's breaking news,

994
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 2: one's a wild statistic. The good news the breaking news.

995
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: TJ Watt, according to Adam Schefter, is set to return

996
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 2: to action Sunday night, which is awesome, a much needed

997
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 2: boost and.

998
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 3: Even emotional boost. I mean everything, not to mention she's

999
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 3: a great player.

1000
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 2: That stuff. Matt, Like, these guys aren't human as much

1001
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 2: as people think they're just robots and professional athletes and

1002
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 2: bulletproof millionaires. You are backed into a corner, do or die?

1003
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, and your harmon is a rookie playing

1004
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 3: this game, and I got TJ back to my.

1005
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 2: And here the guy who has been your best player

1006
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 2: for the last five years. Yeah, you know, through the

1007
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 2: tunnel at the time when you need him most.

1008
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 3: That's why we need someone on defense to make a

1009
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 3: big play to seal this game. I'm glad nineties play.

1010
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 2: That's the one that I would put my poker chip on.

1011
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1012
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: And then Matt, you unearthed the potential insane New York

1013
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 2: Jets stat when we went to break here. Yeah.

1014
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 3: So this side note, I mean, Matt's stats apparently is

1015
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 3: growing in popularity, and.

1016
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 2: We talk about it a lot brands.

1017
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 3: And frankly, a lot of people from the city steal

1018
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 3: it to whether you know they cite me or not,

1019
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 3: I don't care. You know, great, everyone knows where it's

1020
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 3: coming from, and I don't care. But this dude, Lou

1021
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 3: who follows me sent me a Matt's status or mats

1022
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 3: or you know, an adjusted turnover differential chart with the

1023
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 3: missfield goals and a lot of the fourth down stuff

1024
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 3: and Lou if you're listening, send me one next week

1025
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 3: because I want to hold this for, you know, after

1026
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 3: the season is complete. But anyways, I looked and the

1027
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 3: Jets are dead last, and it dawned on me. I'm like,

1028
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 3: we have not brought this up. They don't have an

1029
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 3: interception all year? They have zero? Can you double check

1030
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 3: it for me? Just so I'm not talking on the

1031
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 3: other my mouth, but I'm almost one thousand percent sure,

1032
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 3: and it would be the first time in NFL history

1033
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 3: that a defense had zero interceptions zero zero TVs.

1034
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 2: Like as in like the o that Oregon fans hold.

1035
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have not picked off an opposing passer all year.

1036
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: Just to really not to really paint the picture, the

1037
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 2: next lowest teams, Cowboys, Titans, Niners each have six.

1038
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, wow, so there's nobody.

1039
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 2: In the league with less than five and zero's they don't.

1040
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 3: Get one this week, they will be the only team

1041
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 3: in NFL history that's wild. And it's seventeen game seasons.

1042
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 3: I mean, the teams and there's twelve game season, while

1043
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 3: people turnovers left them right back then. But still you

1044
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 3: get my point.

1045
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 2: According to my hastily done AI starch here on Google,

1046
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: if the Jets don't record an interception this week, they

1047
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 2: will be the first team in NFL history.

1048
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 3: How bad that is? I mean, like the deflection upre right.

1049
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 2: This isn't the sixties where they were throwing the ball

1050
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 2: twelve times a game.

1051
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 3: I know, and actually I would have been another crazy

1052
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 3: one that I retweated from them to Matt.

1053
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 2: Two months ago, ESPN wrote an article Jets baffled by

1054
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 2: historic streak of no interceptions. That was two months ago,

1055
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 2: wow and a half ago.

1056
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 3: So this doesn't bode great for the Steelers, but remembers

1057
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 3: the long time we go folks. The Jets have had

1058
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 3: the lead this year for sixty six snaps.

1059
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 2: That's wild, that's wild game composite one game.

1060
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 3: And unfortunately twenty four of those sixty six were steel

1061
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 3: every one. So in week one they had the lead

1062
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 3: for twenty four snaps. Since they've had the lead for

1063
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 3: forty two snaps, you know how bad that is.

1064
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 2: We might have to at the end of the year

1065
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 2: do the Drive awards and really decide who's the worst

1066
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 2: team To say, though, was it the Jets of the Raiders.

1067
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 3: We were really hard on the Raiders, and the Jets

1068
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 3: got a little bit of a pass or some of

1069
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 3: these power ranking weeks.

1070
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 2: Maybe just because we expected more from the Races after.

1071
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 3: The trades too, and with Cook being the quarterback it

1072
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 3: was better at least when Fields and big Hower Taylor.

1073
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 2: Big shot out the lou for putting that together.

1074
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, nice Lou, But we went invent zero interceptions.

1075
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 2: That's crazy, man, Like you'd think you just luck into

1076
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 2: one or two Raven Steelers. Ain't gonna be no luck

1077
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 2: to say in this one, Matt. A good old fashioned

1078
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 2: armageddon between good old fashioned hatred rivals. Here Baltimore now

1079
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:08,280
Speaker 2: three and a half point favorites.

1080
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 3: I picked the Ravens to win twenty to seventeen. Okay,

1081
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 3: And a lot of it is recency biased, sure, most

1082
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 3: of it's based off of who's gonna make plays versus

1083
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 3: man coverage for the Steelers. And I hope that a

1084
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 3: weak trial run like a PURSUITO was talking about, you know,

1085
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 3: like the coaching staff tried this once. I'll know what happened,

1086
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 3: what works well, what doesn't can benefit you, and I hope,

1087
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 3: as you mentioned Gamewell, Warren and particularly friar Mouth of

1088
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 3: the guys touching the football and getting targeted. But we

1089
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 3: haven't seen that evidence, you know. I mean, it's a

1090
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 3: leap of faith. And frankly, the thing that worries me

1091
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 3: most is yours gonna kick off the ravens Lamar takes

1092
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 3: the first snap and we go, oh, that's Lamar again,

1093
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 3: and then I'm scared. But I'll also be truthful. I

1094
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 3: picked it because when I pick against the Steelers that win,

1095
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 3: now that might double reverse jinx it.

1096
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, Well, this is make people happy.

1097
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 3: Then I think it's gonna be a very very close game,

1098
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,280
Speaker 3: and I think that the lines of scrimmage really great

1099
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 3: favor of the Steelers.

1100
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 2: The people will be happy. Only three times this year

1101
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 2: of you and I both picked the Steelers to lose,

1102
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 2: and all three times the Steelers have won.

1103
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 3: Colts Colts, Lions, Lions.

1104
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 2: What was the other one Packer? Nope, because they lost

1105
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 2: that game. Could have been the Bills Colts Lions, I'm

1106
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 2: john a blank. Early in the season, was or something

1107
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 2: like that, maybe the Bengals Thursday night or No, we

1108
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 2: both picked them to win that one. I'm not sure.

1109
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 2: Baltimore the first Baltimore game. I think it was the first.

1110
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 2: It was the first baltim Yeah, yep, Colts Lions first

1111
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 2: Baltimore game, Matt, from my lips to your Heart, Baltimore thirteen,

1112
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 2: Steelers nine.

1113
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 3: Love it. I definitely think it's gonna be a low scoring,

1114
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 3: grinded out down to the wire Boz kick or something

1115
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 3: like that. Yeah.

1116
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 2: I you have me feeling much better with your highlights

1117
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 2: of the trenches and the Steelers being better on which

1118
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 2: I don't think his Homer Steelers Audio Network black and

1119
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 2: gold glasses.

1120
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 3: I think it's distinct.

1121
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 2: I think it's I think that makes me that as much.

1122
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 3: Railed the Raven season as much as Lamar's injuries. They're

1123
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:36,439
Speaker 3: not very good on any.

1124
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 2: Of the last when you're when you're not very good

1125
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 2: in the trenches and your MVP quarterbacks kind of playing

1126
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 2: at a human level.

1127
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 3: They had some innate issues before he got there. Yeah,

1128
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 3: the first month and then that just exacerbates Yeah. Yeah,

1129
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,280
Speaker 3: and he couldn't elevate them like you usually.

1130
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 2: Well, regardless of how it plays out, Steelers win, uh, Matt,

1131
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 2: and I will be back here on Monday to break

1132
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 2: it down for you win loser draw, which, by the way,

1133
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 2: if there is a tie, Deelers win the division.

1134
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 3: So oh yeah, I'm sure.

1135
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 2: They'll talk about that on the broadcast. But if it

1136
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 2: does go into overtime, the Steelers have two possible outcomes

1137
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 2: to uh to go to the postseason where Baltimore needs

1138
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,720
Speaker 2: a win straight up and nothing else will do the trick.
