00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 3: on the on the right road there with a win

28
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 3: and playing Pittsburgh Steel So for me, I would love

29
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: to be playing on Saturday right now. It's exciting.

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not a primetime game case, but I mean,

31
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: all eyes Colts in the middle of the day on Saturday.

32
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 4: One of the things I like about it too is

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 4: you play on Saturday, that's see the Colts go out

34
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 4: and you get a win, You get a watch on

35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 4: Sunday and.

36
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: You can really dive into all of it.

37
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: You get to sit there and watch everything else unfold everywhere.

38
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: So I like it for a lot of reasons.

39
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: I mean there's for me, I like having, you know,

40
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 4: the day of Sunday where I can just sit back

41
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 4: and not like I took any snaps on Sunday on Saturday,

42
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: but I like being able to sit back pretty sore.

43
00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't get up and it's like I

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: used to. And we've got a lot to get into today.

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: On today's podcast, we're getting you ready for, as we said,

46
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: a monster game, playoff implications all over this one seven

47
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: and six teams here. There are six, seven and six

48
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: teams in the a f C. Say that six times fast.

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: But that's where we're at right now. And the head

50
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: to head tie breaker is gonna inevitably be so huge.

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, such a big difference between eight and six

52
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: and seven and seven when you only have three games

53
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: to go after this one.

54
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes a big difference. And that's why this

55
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 3: game is so big right here, you know, playing this game,

56
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: playing an AFC opponent, playing a team that's in the

57
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: mix with you in regards to getting that wildcard spot.

58
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 3: So it's a big game. So this is one of

59
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: the bigger games as the Coast are playing right now.

60
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: And as you said, three games remaining, you have two

61
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: other AFC games you have to play with Houston and

62
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: Las Vegas and then you go on play NFC team

63
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: in Atlanta. So it's gonna be used to get this

64
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: game to go out there and play well and hopefully

65
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: the Coast can get it. So it is a big game.

66
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: Well let's start there. We're starting the podcast here on

67
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: a segment called going all in. We've all played you know,

68
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: Texas Hold Them, or we played you know, some cards

69
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: with your buddies in the garage, and you know, you

70
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: feel like you want to take somebody out and you

71
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: go all in, pushing all those chips in the middle

72
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: of the of the table here. So let's let's kind

73
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: of pick up there. We just kind of talked about it,

74
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: the swing game nature of this one on Saturday. Analytically,

75
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, these are what they are. You know, they're

76
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: fun to look at. They're kind of fun to talk about,

77
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: I suppose. But you know, the New York Times they

78
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: have their playoff predictor. The Colts currently have a forty

79
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: one percent chance of making the playoffs as of right now,

80
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, if they win this game on Saturday,

81
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: right if they beat the Steelers, those chances go up

82
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: to almost sixty percent. If they lose, they're under twenty

83
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: percent at eighteen with only three games to go. So

84
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: let me lay this on you guys, this game on Saturday,

85
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: this seven in battle, if you will. It's got the

86
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: feel of an elimination game, despite the fact that there's

87
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: three games to play after this one. But an elimination

88
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: type game feel to this one, given the crowded nature

89
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: and the parity in the AFC Casey, are you all

90
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: in on that statement? All in completely, all in.

91
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: I know how Bill feels about the must win, but

92
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 4: this one if it's not about his must win. You know,

93
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: there's two ways to look at the word must win.

94
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: You know that phrase. There's so much riding and the

95
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: guys know it, you know, you know how important it

96
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: is when you look at it from you know, the

97
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 4: teams that are in the hunt fighting, and it's teams

98
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 4: like the Browns. You don't have a win against, the Bengals,

99
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: you don't have a win against. So when you look

100
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: at head to heads, that's where I mean you mentioned

101
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 4: it at the top here, that's where it's going to

102
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: be so important. And the Steelers being right there. You

103
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 4: got to get these head to heads.

104
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: You've got to win in the in the in the conference.

105
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,559
Speaker 4: So just in that looking at it from that view,

106
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 4: that's why this is such a pivotal game because you

107
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 4: talk about it, I mean, you go up, I mean,

108
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: was that fifty fifty percentage points essentially from a win

109
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 4: and a loss roughly? I mean, if that doesn't speak

110
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 4: to how important this game is. I mean, if you're

111
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: not all in on Saturday, sorry about y'all.

112
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: And like Casey said, not only is the head to

113
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: head tie breaker so pivotal, but if you get even

114
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: further into the weeds, Let's say, you know, Pittsburgh gets

115
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: this win on Saturday, but then they stub their toe

116
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: later on in the season, you know, week seventeen, Week eighteen,

117
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: and both teams finished with you know whatever it is,

118
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: ten and seven records or nine and eight whatever the

119
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: math says. Another part of this is Bill, it's an

120
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: AFC game, Yeah, and both teams are five and four

121
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: yep against the AFC, which is another component of how

122
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: just mega. I feel like Will Ferrell in that that

123
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: movie about the ABA, like the Mega Bowl. That's what

124
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: That's what this is. That's that's the feeling I have

125
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: about this game. What's that? What is the name of that?

126
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: Semi pro? Thank you? I got the bear coming at

127
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: halftime he's wrestle Tory dogs. Jackie as a re hit

128
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: the other field, trying to tempt the possible shot.

129
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 3: Sorry, that is fine, but but you are right, though, Matt,

130
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: You are right though. It's a lot better than being

131
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 3: five and five. You can be five and five or

132
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: six and four in the conference, and that's that is big,

133
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: That is huge. That's why you want to win this game,

134
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: not so much just for the head to head, but

135
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: also you know you play Cleveland, who's in the same

136
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 3: battle with you with your with the coat. You lost

137
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: to Cleveland unfortunately. You want to win this game against Pittsburgh,

138
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: so another head to head to get that win, but

139
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: also the AFC battle, so you want to go up

140
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: to be six and four. Long, you have two other

141
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 3: AFC games to play with Las Vegas and Houston. Hopefully

142
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: you can win those games as well. But you want

143
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: to try to win as many tie breakers as you

144
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 3: can in this scenario because you don't know what's going

145
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: to happen, you know what other teams are going to do.

146
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 3: So if you can win a tie breaker of head

147
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: to head, tiebreaker of AFC conference record, that goes a

148
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: long way. If you hopefully playing later in January of it.

149
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 4: Too is you know, you still are in an area

150
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 4: where you kind of control your destiny, so it's in

151
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: your control, so you have that power, and it's got

152
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 4: to be one of those things you understand that. Okay,

153
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: we do control it because you start getting to that

154
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: point where you know, maybe you slide one here against Pittsburgh,

155
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 4: you might go out and win you next three, but

156
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: because of certain tie breakers or what of that, it

157
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: could be out of your So this is a way

158
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: that you can contain and stay in control of.

159
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: What you do the rest of the way, no doubt

160
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: about it. All Right, Let's let's continue and talk about

161
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: whether or not we're all in. The second subject matter

162
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: here is the run game and whether or not that's

163
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: holding this offense back right now, because after exceeding the

164
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: one hundred yard rushing mark six times in the first

165
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: eight games of the season for the Colts, they've only

166
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: reached that number once over the last five weeks. And

167
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: during that five game stretch, Fellas the Cults are averaging

168
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: just eighty rushing yards per game three point two yards

169
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: per average or per attempt. And the one hundred and

170
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: one yards the Colts have posted in the last two

171
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: games one win, one loss to the Titans and the Bengals,

172
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: that's their smallest two game total since the twenty eighteen season,

173
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: and in the last two games right the Colts are

174
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: only averaging about two and a half yards per carry,

175
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: which ranks thirtieth in the NFL. So, Bill, I'll start

176
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: with you. The Colt struggles on offense lately, they can

177
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: be pointed back to the lack of success on the ground.

178
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Are you all in on that statement?

179
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: I am. I am all in on that because I

180
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: think it's important for the team to be able to

181
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: run the ball, not to be so one dimensional where

182
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: especially if you're going against a team like the Steelers

183
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 3: and T. J. Watt is expected to play, so you

184
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: have him, you don't want him to teeing off again

185
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 3: going to the quarterback and putting pressure in the quarterback

186
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: and we can have it back there. So I think

187
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 3: you need to run the ball to kind of have

188
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: a balance out there to keep the team the opponent off,

189
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: bounce a little bit so that you have balance and

190
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 3: so they don't know exactly what you're doing. Then also

191
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: hopefully can help set up the play action pass because

192
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: it passes down the field and put up the offense

193
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 3: so to speak, and try to get the ball verically

194
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 3: downfield with some of the guys on the team like

195
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 3: Alec Pearson, get him involved more involved in the passing game.

196
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: So I think it's imperative for the Coast to go

197
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: out there and run the ball. Officially, I'm not saying

198
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 3: they have to run for two hundred yards or anything

199
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: like that, but run the ball effective enough to keep

200
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: the opponent off balance.

201
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: One of the things that we had mentioned earlier in

202
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: the year was the usage of Jonathan Taylor. I know

203
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 4: he's not going to play, but the uses of Jonathan

204
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 4: Taylor and Zach Moss in the passing game, which is

205
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 4: kind of an extension of the run, and that is

206
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 4: one thing we've kind of seen it regress in that span,

207
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 4: so I think that's also part of it. We saw

208
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: it last week in Cincinnati. Yeah, they had a handful

209
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 4: of big plays, but a couple of those were just

210
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 4: screen passes that they were able to and that is

211
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: an extension of the run, so exact things like that. So, yes,

212
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 4: the run game has to get going to help the

213
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 4: offense in the passing game and move in the football

214
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 4: down the field. But it's all of that that goes

215
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 4: into it. So yes, I would agree. I'm maybe I'm

216
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 4: not all in on that statement. I would say I'm

217
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 4: more you know, eighty five percent of my chips are

218
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 4: in the middle because the run.

219
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: Game definitely played one more hand game.

220
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: You got enough where you can maybe play one more

221
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: hand folded, right, But I would agree the run game

222
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: definitely needs to, you know, really get back in a

223
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: rhythm because it is a big point of this offense,

224
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: and you got to.

225
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: Do something to negate those linebackers. I mean, Cincinnati they

226
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: provided a little bit of a blueprint. Not that they

227
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: did anything overly exotic or you know, outside of the

228
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: norm in terms of what you're trying to do to

229
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: an n rhythm short passing quarterback like Gardner Minshew, but

230
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: those linebackers were so close to a line of scrimmage.

231
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: They played downhill. Quentin Nelson talked this week about not

232
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: being able to get to the second level consistently, and

233
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: you got to have some big runs back in this

234
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: offense too, right. I mean, in the last couple of games,

235
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: I think the Colts only have one run over ten yards.

236
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: They had one run that was negated. That was a

237
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: touchdown run by Zack Moss that got wiped off by

238
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: what I thought was a bad call on a Quinton

239
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: Nelson hold. But I mean, if you look at it,

240
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: the Cults are really struggling right now on first down

241
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: running the ball. That is screwing up their drives. They've

242
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: picked up just fifty yards on seventeen first down runs

243
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: the last two games.

244
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: Wow.

245
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: Bill, that's a big reason why the Colts have converted

246
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: six out of twenty five on third down in the

247
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: last two games, because they're not kind of setting themselves

248
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: up for success on second and six or third and

249
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: three or less because first down running the ball it's

250
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: been really hard. They've been in second and eight, third

251
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: and eleven a lot here in the last four or

252
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: five weeks of this part of the schedule.

253
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: And as you say, it just makes it difficult to

254
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: get first downs because you're behind the chains. You know

255
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 3: you're when you're second and eight, second and nine, that

256
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 3: makes it very difficult to hopefully get some more yards.

257
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: And then being the third and three, third and four,

258
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: which you want to be in to help you kind

259
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: of have a bounce. Well, okay, no, we can't run

260
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 3: the ball, or we can pass the ball and keep

261
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 3: the defense off bounced, not know what we're going to

262
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: do on third down to help you get first down.

263
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: So I think those are big players on first down,

264
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: especially when you run the ball to hopefully get four

265
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: or five yards on first down. If you get four

266
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: or five yards on first down, put you in good

267
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: position on second down. Some players you can run. It

268
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 3: kind of opens up your playbook a little bit to

269
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: do more things on second and third.

270
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: Now, all right, let's talk about the Steelers. They do

271
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: four things really well. They're kind of an interesting team

272
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: to talk a big picture on them real quick. Obviously,

273
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: they're seven and six, And on offense, they don't turn

274
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: the ball over right They only have eleven turnovers for

275
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: the entire season, which is tied for first. They're running

276
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: the ball right now incredibly well as a team. They've

277
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: got over nine hundred yards rushing in the last six games,

278
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: which leads the NFL in that span. They've got two

279
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: really good backs, and Harris and Jalen Warren who's kind

280
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: of coming out of nowhere, a second year undrafted guy

281
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: out of Oklahoma State. Then on defense, really good point total,

282
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: really good takeaway numbers, and really good numbers inside the

283
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: twenty yard line, keeping teams out of the end zone

284
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: once they get in the red zone. So those two

285
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: things combine. They're not flashy team. They're really conservative right now,

286
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: on offense. They don't push the ball down the field.

287
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky is the backup quarterback right now playing for

288
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett. But let's go all in on a statement

289
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: here on the Steelers because their defense, as I said,

290
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: really good, and it starts with those edge rushers. And

291
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: you just talked about it. Somebody said, I forget who

292
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: it was, but somebody said, TJ. Watson. He just came

293
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Yeah, that's what he does. He's everywhere.

294
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: He was in the concussion protocol swimming from last Thursday's

295
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: loss to the Patriots. He's back. He's cleared that Alex

296
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: high Smith was in the protocol stemming from that game

297
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: as well. And as we're sitting here taping this on Thursday,

298
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: no definitive timeline or no definitive word I should say

299
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: on him whether or not he's going to play on Saturday.

300
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: So we know as of right now, Watt's in high

301
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: Smith as a question mark. But those two guys, Wadden

302
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: in high Smith and you're throwing Hayward as well. Wadden

303
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: Hayward have combined for one hundred and seventy two sacks.

304
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: Stop me when you're not impressed, eleven Pro Bowls, six

305
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: All Pro Nods, the the Universe, and quarterback hits two

306
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: hundred and nineteen tackles for loss, thirty four force fumbles.

307
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: I mean, these are absolute game wreckers. And it's trending

308
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: like both guys are going to be available along with

309
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: Hayward's availability on Saturday as well, so Casey hot Watt

310
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: and high Smith's available availability, I should say it makes

311
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: all the difference for the Steelers in this game. Are

312
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: you all in on that statement? Without those two guys,

313
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: are they the same defense? I'm all in.

314
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 4: I mean I would say Watt mainly just because you

315
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 4: know what he can do. Wat is one of those

316
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 4: guys that I almost you know, put it like what

317
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 4: we saw when we took on the Browns in Miles Garrett.

318
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 4: I mean he is he has the ability to you know,

319
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 4: sometimes you look at a defensive player and you're like,

320
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 4: all right, you don't want him to change the game

321
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 4: on one.

322
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: Or two plays.

323
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: TJ.

324
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 4: Watt's the guy that can do that on eight plays,

325
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 4: on ten plays, and that's and that's the I mean,

326
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 4: he is all universe when it comes to a defense end,

327
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: and that's one of the things that I mean, it's

328
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 4: just like, just like I was just about to say that.

329
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 4: I mean, we saw it with JJ when he was

330
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 4: in Houston for so long, and and TJ's picking up

331
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 4: you know, he's carrying that that family name. I mean,

332
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 4: there's a there's a good argument there for that. So

333
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: I mean, those two guys, it's impossible to say you

334
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 4: have to neutralize them. Nobody can do it like that's

335
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 4: Everybody's like, oh, they let Myles Garrett do this like

336
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 4: he does that.

337
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: Against a lot of people, and no Braden Smith and

338
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: no Braden Smith.

339
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: Raiden Smith's lake has he has been one of those

340
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 4: guys that I don't know necessarily. When he was drafted,

341
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 4: I thought you're gonna need him a lot like we have.

342
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 4: But he's you talk about baptism by fire. He has

343
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 4: been thrown out there as a rookie. He's held up

344
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: pretty well. This is going to be another really big

345
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: test for him and Bernard. I mean, Bernard's coming off

346
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 4: a game in Cincinnati where I'm sure he feels like

347
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 4: he wasn't his best by any means. So both of

348
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: those guys are going to be I mean, they're going

349
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 4: to be challenged for sure, and interior. When you talk

350
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: about Cameron Hayward, I mean those three guys, guys.

351
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: That right there.

352
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 4: You wonder why the Steelers are seven and six, And

353
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 4: I would just say those three guys right there because

354
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: when you have them on a defense, they can change

355
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: the game at any point. And that is I'm all

356
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: in for the Steelers because those guys they mean so much.

357
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting to see

358
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 4: how this Colt's offensive line can handle that D line.

359
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: You saving, I'm gonna save a little chips, so Meanes,

360
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: I'm reason. I'm only I'm saying that's because let's not

361
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: forget about Cam Hayward. Let's not forget about Mega Fitz Patricks.

362
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 3: Not forget about those guys. Those guys play a big

363
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: part in that defense. Mecca is very maybe one of

364
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: the best safeties in the exactly. So I'm not gonna

365
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: say just those two guys, but you add all the

366
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: guys there. As far as Cam and and Menca, those

367
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: guys are pretty good.

368
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: You know.

369
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 3: Those guys are joy or yeah not not not the

370
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: joy part that I played at games now, No, not him, no, no, no, not.

371
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: Mister Abs No. But yeah, exactly never wore his jersey.

372
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 3: But uh, but you know, having make a back there

373
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: what he does controlling the secondary back there. Yes, I

374
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: know they've given up some big plays pass and wives

375
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, but he is a big player

376
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 3: for them as far as makeup being a leader back

377
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 3: there on defense. So I'm not gonna go all in

378
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: on just those two high Smith and TJ. But if

379
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: you're throwing the rest of those guys, they're gonna be

380
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 3: a handful to handle.

381
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's the steel curtain, but this is

382
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 4: what you expect when you play Pittsburgh. You know you're

383
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 4: going to get a defense. It's going to have game breakers,

384
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 4: and that is exactly what you're gonna see on Saturday.

385
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: All right, that's all in right there, let's close out

386
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: the podcast. Let's transition here to wrap up here. I

387
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: just got an email by it. I don't know if

388
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: you got that, Kimberly on the Yeah, this is this

389
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: is life is what we do. I's got another one too.

390
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: Here we go, we'll keep rolling. Yeah, by the way,

391
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: I have to pick up milk on the way text

392
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: run live. Right now, let's close out the podcast here.

393
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: Talk about some hidden figures. All right, some hidden figures

394
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: that we dug up this week to kind of bring

395
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: to the light or to the surface and what you

396
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: need to know about this Colton and Steelers matchup. One

397
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: that just kind of Casey, I know you and I

398
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: were working on this earlier in the week. We can

399
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: always do just our big charts that we put together

400
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: for the game at chart a lot, but one thing

401
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: that kind of stuck out to us, Casey kind of

402
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: slapped us right in the face. I'm like, how big

403
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: of a discrepancy there is with the Steelers team between

404
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: first half and second half? Man, take a look at this.

405
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: They've scored just eighty eight points all season in the

406
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: first half, which is the third fewest points in the NFL.

407
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: They've been outscored by seventy one points in the first

408
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: half this season. That's a really big number. But in

409
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: the second half, this is where it just gets really interesting.

410
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: Second half this year. The Steeler defense, they carry that

411
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: sluggish offense. As I said, they're only scoring about sixteen

412
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: points per game, so the defense is winning them games.

413
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: They're giving up on average, just three point three points

414
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 1: per game in the fourth quarter and yielding just seven

415
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: points on average in the second half, which is number

416
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: one in the NFL. And it kind of makes sense

417
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: because if you're kind of paying attention, you know, peripherally

418
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: to the Steelers going into this game, they won five

419
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: of their first eight games, despite being out gained in

420
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: all of those games, And when you look at these numbers, Bill,

421
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: it kind of makes sense like their offense is definitely

422
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: the weak sister between their two main units. The defense

423
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: has been elite, especially once they get a sense of

424
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: who you are that day and they take away your

425
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: best weapons and kind of make you play left handed there. So,

426
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: with all that in mine, I know I threw a

427
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: lot at you, But how important is it for the

428
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: Colts to just simply get off to a good start.

429
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: You're playing at home, the upper deck is going to

430
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: be filled with terrible towels, those ugly yellow, you know

431
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: rugs that I use to clean my garage with. How

432
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: important is it to just get off to a double

433
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 1: figure lead or a two score lead early in this

434
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: game and make their offense play from behind, which is

435
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: what they don't want to do.

436
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: I agree with you, Derek, I think you need to

437
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 3: do that. You need to get up on them early,

438
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 3: real early, and when you get up on them early,

439
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: you know they know that their offense is not that explosive,

440
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 3: so to speak. So they're going to have to try

441
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: to figure out ways to get the ball down the

442
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 3: field with michr Bisky. And I think when you have

443
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 3: mitchru Bisky back there, it's a good athlete back there.

444
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: But I think the more he has to pass the ball,

445
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 3: it increases the probability that he's going to make a mistake.

446
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: And so I think that what you need to do

447
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 3: is make sure you try to get up on them early,

448
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: make them play from behind, Put the ball in Mitch

449
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: tru Bisky's hand, get the ball either of Jalen Warren,

450
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: Jalen Warren's hand and Najie Harris's hands, so they run

451
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 3: the ball because they have a good running game, and

452
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 3: then see if he can beat you. Now, don't get

453
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: me wrong, I one of the guys I think on

454
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 3: the team offensively from a Pittsburgh Steels standpoint, I like

455
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: his Friarmuth. I think he's very good and I think

456
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 3: he's going to be a player important part in this

457
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: game for the Pittsburgh Steels. But I think if you

458
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 3: can get up on them early and put the ball

459
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 3: in Trubisky's hands and let him try to beat you.

460
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 3: I think that would be that will bode well for

461
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 3: the Coats. And if the Coats can also not turn

462
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: the ball over, because this is a very good team.

463
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: They're plus ten as far as the turnover ratio, so

464
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: they hold on to the ball, they don't turn the

465
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: ball over, as you mentioned, Matt, and they created a

466
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 3: lot of turner was for themselves. So I think they're

467
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 3: going to try to They're gonna try to turn you

468
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 3: over and they're trying to hold the ball to themselves.

469
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 3: They're going to play a kind of a grind it

470
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: out ugly games. That's the way. That's what they're gonna do.

471
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: That's what they want to play. That's what they want

472
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 3: to play, ugly games. So you need to jump on

473
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: them early to make them try to play, to do

474
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: something that they don't normally do, and don't do it

475
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: that well.

476
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to steal your thunder, but I mean,

477
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: to Bill's point, they are a classic case of just

478
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: we're not flashy, we don't push the ball down the field.

479
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: We're not gonna have gaudy passing numbers. In fact, I

480
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: think for the season they're averaging less than two hundred

481
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: yards passing on the year. But they're just a classic

482
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 1: case of if we don't turn the ball over and

483
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: we punt and play defense, we're gonna be in all

484
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: these games. And they have been, and they're just simply

485
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: making more play in the fourth quarter while hanging around

486
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: to that stage of the game.

487
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 4: And this is cliche, but like we talk about it

488
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 4: all the time, how touchdowns are so much more important

489
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 4: than field goals, I think it's a little opposite in

490
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 4: this game. I think points are going to be so key,

491
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 4: whether you're getting three or seven. I think anytime you

492
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 4: get inside the fifty, yeah, you want to score a touchdown.

493
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: I just don't think this Steelers team is going to

494
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 4: be able to go with you toe to toe when

495
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 4: you're so I think that is what is the most

496
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: important thing when I'm looking at I mean, we look

497
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 4: at third down numbers, we look at red zone numbers,

498
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 4: and they've both been really, really bad over the last

499
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 4: handful of.

500
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: Weeks for the Colts.

501
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, you need to change those. But I think

502
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 4: points are just so much at a premium this week.

503
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 4: Making sure, like you said, Bill not turning the football over,

504
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 4: but just points are going to be so key. And

505
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 4: this is I mean, I don't want to say that

506
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 4: I'm hoping this happens because you never want to see

507
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 4: a team implode.

508
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: But they got a couple guys on their team that are.

509
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 4: A little, yeah, a little volator, whether that's you know,

510
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 4: George Pickens or Deontay Johnson, who have You know they've

511
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 4: on tape. You see them either visibly upset or taking

512
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 4: plays off. They do that when they're down, when they're trailing.

513
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 4: So getting points on them and see if and if

514
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 4: you look at those two guys, I mean outside of

515
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 4: Najee Harris and Warren, that's all the half. No, those

516
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 4: are their two weapons offensively. Get them frustrated, get them angry.

517
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: That's what I want to see. So I want to

518
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 4: see the Colts, whether it's getting three, whether it's getting seven,

519
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 4: put points on the board because I think points are

520
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 4: going to be key in this game and that might

521
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: just be twelve. You may get twelve and that could

522
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 4: be enough.

523
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: That's high level analysis right there for kaz value scoring points.

524
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: That's a good there it is. I knew it was coming.

525
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: I fifteen we waited all year. But points are good

526
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: and if you get more than the other team, you well,

527
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: that's what happened, mister obvious. We're gonna beat them this week. Everybody,

528
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: all right, our last head numbers. We even got a

529
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: laugh from when behind the camera there. All right, our

530
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: last hit number and key to this game, Let's go

531
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: to Michael Pittman's consistency to close out here. He ranks

532
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: fourth in the NFL. He's got ninety five catches this season,

533
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: he has second in the NFL and targets, Bill, I

534
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: know you're loving yourself some number eleven right now for

535
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 1: the Colts. He's got these eight catches in six straight,

536
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: seven of his last nine, and ten of thirteen games

537
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: the Colts have played this season. He is mister consistency.

538
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: He's got three hundred and twenty two career catches, the

539
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: most of any Colts receiver through their first four games,

540
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: or I should say first four seasons in the NFL.

541
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: And I think the most impressive part of all of

542
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: that is that he's played with seven different starting quarterbacks,

543
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: seven of them, and he's got he's almost on record

544
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: what he's got. He needs what five catches and sixteen

545
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: receiving yards on Saturday to become a one hundred catch

546
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: guy in a one thousand yar receiving guy this year

547
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. But the number I'm going to

548
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: leave you with that we dug up the hidden number

549
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: here is that his target share this season thirty one percent,

550
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: which is fifth highest in the NFL. So a lot

551
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: of targets, a lot of catches right now this offense.

552
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: It used to be it was downs and Pittman. Right

553
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: now it's Pittman right in the passing game. So how

554
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: do you look You're the perfect guy to ask and

555
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: start with, Bill, because you're in the Ring of Honor

556
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: for a reason. How do you look at Pitt's season?

557
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: Dominant even with the backup quarterback or the Colts have

558
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: had to rely on him because of the short passing

559
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: game and the other weapons around him.

560
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 3: Dominant, I would say, dominant just because he's doing what

561
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: they ask of him. He's going out there making plays,

562
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 3: making big plays. And the thing I like about Pitt

563
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: he wants to be that guy. He wants to be

564
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 3: the guy that's out there say look when you need

565
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 3: a big play. I want to be the guy that

566
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: makes the big play, and that's a guy that's not,

567
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 3: you know, of the big moment or whatever. He wants

568
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: to be in the moment. He wants to help his

569
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 3: team win football game. So I like that about pitt

570
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 3: And when you're talking about the most receptions and four

571
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 3: years for any Coats and Coats history, you're talking about

572
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, you got t Y Hilton, Bill Brooks,

573
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 3: you know, you got Raymond Barry and you got those guys.

574
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 3: So that's saying a lot about pitt And for the

575
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: pit not just to do it on the football field,

576
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 3: but to do it where the young guys can see

577
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 3: how it should be done in practice, in the meeting

578
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 3: rooms and things like that, and just being there for

579
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 3: the guys. And to do it with how many quarterbacks

580
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 3: you said seven? Seven different quarterbacks. You know how hard

581
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: that is each year to learn a different quarterback and

582
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 3: be ready and understand what they want as far as

583
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 3: from the receiver and what the quarterback's looking at. So

584
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 3: for a pit to do that and come in each

585
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 3: and every year and work at it and be this successful,

586
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 3: that says a lot about Pittman his not only his

587
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 3: physical talent, but his character as well.

588
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: What do you think in this game though, I mean,

589
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: is it another ten target game for Michael Pittman Junior.

590
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: How do you see the Steelers trying to slow him

591
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: down and take away Gardner Minshew's favorite target. I mean,

592
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be probably Joey Porter junior.

593
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 4: Ryeah, I would assume Joey Porter junior. But honestly, the

594
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 4: way that the way that Pittman is playing, I think

595
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 4: he's just gonna get his Like he's almost He's almost

596
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 4: that guy where it's like you can just pencil him

597
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 4: in for eight catches for eighty five yards and he

598
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 4: might score a touchdown and everything else she gets gravy.

599
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 4: And it's one of those things that we heard from

600
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 4: Reggie Wating this week talking about him, and he said,

601
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 4: you know, the biggest thing is that you know, like

602
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 4: Bill mentioned, he wants it. He wants to be that guy,

603
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 4: and he wants it Monday through Friday. And that's where

604
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 4: it shows up on Sundays because as as Reggie said,

605
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: he goes, he's at the jugs machine more than anybody

606
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 4: he goes. His hands are so one rated that yeah,

607
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 4: he's got all these catches because every time to throw

608
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 4: in the football, he's gonna be able to.

609
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: Get his hands on him.

610
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 4: And it's just he continues to work and continues to

611
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 4: lead by example, and it's I'm sure for him, he's

612
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 4: looking at the receiver group and he wants everybody else

613
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 4: to get theirs as well. But when you have a

614
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 4: guy just playing in a zone like he's in, i mean,

615
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 4: six straight games.

616
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: It's a conscious levels that it comes from such a

617
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: healthy place too. To your point, it's it's not like

618
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: I need the ball, but if you throw it to me,

619
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna catch it. I'm gonna take care of this.

620
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put us in a position where we get

621
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: a first down or throw it to me in the

622
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: red zone when we need a touchdown because I know

623
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get the job done. That's where he's at

624
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: right now.

625
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 4: And I would agree. I think you guys would agree

626
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 4: with me on this. Like watching him play, I mean

627
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 4: he does the dirty work too, So that's where like

628
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,719
Speaker 4: you're log at all, he wants to get out there

629
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 4: and block. He wants to make make it a lane

630
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 4: for someone to make a big play. So I mean

631
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 4: he is he embodies all of that that dog mentality

632
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 4: wherever you want to have. I mean, he has got it.

633
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 4: And this this zone that he's in right now, that's

634
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 4: why you ask what he's gonna do this weekend. I

635
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 4: just kind of pencil him in for Pittman to be Pittman.

636
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: And this week I think he's gonna love to play

637
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: against the Pittsburgh's team, a physical team. He wants to

638
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: be physical. He wants that, he wants.

639
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: To hope that he doesn't get thrown out of the game.

640
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: I hope the top of.

641
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 3: The game that he likes to play in because he's

642
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 3: a physical guy. He wants to play in this game

643
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh. They're a physical team. We all know. You

644
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: know the history of the Pittsburgh Steels. They're a very

645
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 3: physical team. He wants to be that guy. And also

646
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 3: to the point that you know, say, hey, he wants

647
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 3: the ball. He makes a big catch on third down,

648
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: he makes a big catch throughout the game. The quarterbacks

649
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 3: see that. Quarterbacks know that. So when the quarterbacks getting

650
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 3: in trouble, who you think they're gonna look to, They're

651
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: gonna look to Pit and Pitt's gonna find a way

652
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: to get open and get the ball, catch the ball,

653
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: get the first down, keep the chains moving, and keep

654
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 3: the drive alive. So what Pitt's doing, he's doing a

655
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 3: great job for the team, and the team wants to

656
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: get him involved because they know that when he does

657
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: get involved, the team's more successful.

658
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 4: And everybody knows where the football is going. That's the

659
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 4: thing that I love everybody. I mean, all these teams,

660
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 4: the scouting reports out there, they know, hey, they're going

661
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 4: to target eleven. And you know what, He's still able

662
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 4: to go in weekend and week out and do his thing.

663
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: All right, drive it all home. I mean, I love

664
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: this one. Since nineteen seventy, only five players have compiled

665
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: longer streaks than Pittman's six games with eight straight catches.

666
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: All right, you're ready A monro Saint Brown New Orleans

667
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: is Michael Thomas Antonio Brown when he was with the

668
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. They each share the record with eight. Travis

669
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: Kelcey and and Kwon Bolden are next with seven. You

670
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: know who I didn't say. I didn't say Marvin Harrison.

671
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: I didn't say Reggie Wayne didn't say. I didn't say

672
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: Chris Carter, Jerry right Moss. I didn't say Randy Moss.

673
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's this is some rare era juniors, and

674
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: in terms of just overall consistency, the level in which

675
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: he's playing.

676
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 3: Right now, and that's what you want as a player.

677
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 3: You want to be consistent. You want to be consistent

678
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: from game one to game seventeen and hopefully in the playoffs,

679
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 3: that's what you want to do so that, hey, when

680
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 3: it comes down to a crunch time in the game,

681
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 3: the team can count you being there. And Pitt's been

682
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 3: that guy thus far this year for the Colts.

683
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,920
