1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: You're listening to an s R. WePlay catch tunchion will

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: fly if we dates from tend to do right Here

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: on Steelers Nation Radio SNR, we are back on Dale

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: Lally here with Matt Williamson. Matt, you mentioned in the

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: previous segment that injuries are gonna happen, and we saw

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: some injuries around the league yesterday, some pretty serious things here. Yeah,

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: and there was some injured egoes by a few of

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: these teams too, but not show up in a good way.

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of developments, as you would think

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: in week one. And what I always find funny is

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: talk about this stuff for five months and you think

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: you know and then maybe I didn't know anything. But

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: let's analyze what happened. Um. The big news of the

14
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: day is that Ryan Fitzpatrick has been placed on injured

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: reserve with a hip sublix sublixation. Um, he's eligible to

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: return after three weeks, but I don't expect that. That

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: seems awful. Old man stuff hurts a little bit longer

18
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: when you're thirty eight years old. Yeah. So that goes

19
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: to Heineke now to be their starter, and he did

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: well in their playoff game and He's not the worst

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: backup you'll ever see. I mean, but a big thing

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: I said was talking about in the offseason, I thought

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: Washington's quarterback situation, big picture, was about the worst in

24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: the league. I mean, I'd rather have the Steelers, I mean,

25
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: just in terms of preparing for the future, things like that,

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: and they're not prepared, you know. I mean, you knew

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: that they were kind of living on the edge here

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure they're gonna be able to handle

29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: it very well. Do they sign Cam Newton? I thought

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: that too. I mean, there's a rivera connection. Yeah. I mean,

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna predict things that are. You know, it's

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: probably less, but sure adds up, doesn't it. It would

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. And maybe, you know, maybe

34
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: they wait until they see exactly Heineke will start this week,

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: but maybe you want to wait and see how long

36
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick's gonna be out. Maybe he goes for a second

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: pail game. This is gonna be six weeks. Then the

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: Ego get the ride because they've got playoffs. They you know,

39
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: they've What's what's also interesting. I mean we'll talk about

40
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: these injuries on all these games and stuff, but some

41
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: of these divisions were very telling you this one summer

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: awesome Somewhere the NFC North, NFC North, everybody lost. I mean,

43
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: I know Houston one, but the a f C South

44
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: everybody lost. Yeah, I mean their first place. You're talking

45
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: about a first place team, ayr pound. I mean the

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: Texans were I mean, the Jaguars were embarrassing, The Colts

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: were bad, the type the Titans Bunny had the worst embarrassing,

48
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: most embarrassing. They got got destroyed at home. Right, there's

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: some red flags going on in that division. That brings

50
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: me back to the NFC East. Dallas lost a tough one.

51
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: You know, most people thought it between Washington Dallas to

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: win this division, but they're already on one Washington Zone

53
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: one Giants, I don't think they are contended. Philly did

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: what I thought they were going to do to Atlanta.

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean I thought I they win by thirty some yeah,

56
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: but I thought defensive they would give Atlanta fits. Yeah,

57
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean they clearly were the best team of Week one.

58
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: Will that keep up? You know? Interesting though, So some

59
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: of these divisions got unbelievably interesting, including Steelers Division, where

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if Baltimore wins to Night all of a sudden,

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: the Browns are like, whoa you know, talking about us

62
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: to win and we're we're down one. Yeah, already down

63
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: the division. Uh. Speaking of those Kansas City Chiefs who

64
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: beat the Browns after the Browns browned it up they did.

65
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: I thought they played really well though, until they didn't. Yeah.

66
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean they found a way to lose. And that's

67
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: what you know. You can be great and have all

68
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: of the preseason press and all that stuff, it doesn't

69
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: help you win on Sundays. You still you still can't

70
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: make the big mistakes in those games. I mean it

71
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: was a massive mistake that they made and they may

72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: have lost the game anyway. I mean, you can't let

73
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill get free seventy five yards on the field

74
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: and things like that too and get you when your

75
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: defense is supposed to be better and he does. He

76
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: goes off for a hundred ninety yards. Kelsey has two touchdowns.

77
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry your defense in Kansas City, and they're not

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: gonna be the only team Kansas and success against. We

79
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: know that. I thought not having Odell, who was a

80
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: late scratch, hurt too. I mean, they had guys like

81
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: the rookie out of Auburn that can run one who

82
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: said sorts like that about who's just can you can't

83
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: count on the guy? It's hard, I'll bet you. I

84
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: don't know this for sure, but I'll bet if he

85
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: hasn't missed more games then he's played in as a

86
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: Brown it's pretty damn close. Yeah, I bet he has

87
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: by now. And that was all all systems go. A

88
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: couple of these guys right right before the games didn't play.

89
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying there's goods the Chiefs. I still

90
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: took a lot of positives away from the Browns game though,

91
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: and thought, man, they might be the second best. I'm not.

92
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm not real concerned about moral victories. I only wants

93
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: to go up. You know that goes back to Mike

94
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Tomlin style points. Did you win the game and you

95
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: didn't you found a way to lose. They did find

96
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: a way to lose. There is the same way as

97
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: that as the Bills. Looking at that, you know everything

98
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: out of the Bills locker room as well. The Steelers

99
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: are a really good football team and you know we yeah,

100
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: you lost the game, Like I'm sorry, that's just the

101
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: way it is. Those are facts. Uh, Speaking of those Chiefs. Uh.

102
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: And you read saying today that Tyrene math I will

103
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: be back in week two. That was I think that

104
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: was a factor in that game. Yeah, he's the best,

105
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: He's their best, second level guy. Uh. He also said

106
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: that Frank Clark with the hamstring injuries, on the edge

107
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: of playing. So I mean the Chiefs were without a

108
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: couple two of their better defensive players in that game.

109
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: Without Uh, the Saints just just destroyed the the Packers.

110
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: Brings me to something though, and it also kind of

111
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: hits home and well as factors in to night. Bill

112
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: Belichick's the best coach of this generation. But there's five

113
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: or six that we always talk about of the read Peyton, Tomlin,

114
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: Parel Harbaugh level. They all one. I don't know if

115
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: that's an accident, you know, like this was a glaring

116
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: example of and I think Tomlin was too, a really good, experienced,

117
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: well prepared coach pulling off an upset in round in

118
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: Week one that people didn't see coming, didn't. I mean,

119
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: the Saints game wasn't as close as the Steelers game,

120
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: but I mean no one saw that thing coming. Yeah,

121
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: that was just the Saints did lose Marcus Davenport. However,

122
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: to a peck injury. That's troubling for them because they

123
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of depth. Death is a big

124
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: problem for him, it really is. I mean, they're like

125
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: a team I can't wait to bet against next week.

126
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know who they play. I mean, they're good,

127
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: and they're well coached, and they have some things going

128
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: for them, but they're gonna get way more respect going

129
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: to be like that. I think they played Carolina. Okay,

130
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: that could be a sneaky one because Carolina is not bad.

131
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: But Saints have a defense, they have a no line,

132
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: they got a great running back, and they got a coach.

133
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: And Winston through five touchdowns, but he didn't have to

134
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: do much. He really didn't. I looked it up at

135
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: one point when I looked at the score, like what

136
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: in the world is going on in that game? Down

137
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: to the locker rooms and it was uprighting And I

138
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: look at it them like instant was like ten of

139
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: fourteen for like eighty six yards and five touchdowns. Hell

140
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: is going on here? A little flukey? Are you worried

141
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: about Green Bay? I mean, no team laid an egg

142
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: like Green Bayes. No, I'm not super worried about them.

143
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: But I don't know. Is I mean, if they hadn't

144
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: had the off season that they had, right, people keep

145
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: bringing that up Rogers discontent, you know, I don't know.

146
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean they were starting two rookies on our offensive line.

147
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: Their lines is a problem. Lin is a problem. If

148
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: they don't have that fixed by the time the Steelers

149
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: roll into town October two, it's gonna be a big

150
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: problem to be fixed in a big way. If they

151
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: thought that that the Saints got after Aaron Rodgers just

152
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: wait right, and Rogers hardly even played in the fourth quarter.

153
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean him and Davante Adams are over there yucking

154
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: it up on the sidelines while Loves in there. I

155
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: mean they Aaron Jones into a thing. I mean, there's

156
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: it was not pretty h Speaking of those Browns, they

157
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: lost off left tackle Jedrick Willis to an ankle injury.

158
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: Chemist Stefanski said, it's uh day to day, uh as

159
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: we all we all are that really are X rays

160
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: were negative. But he left the game and didn't return,

161
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: and Hubbard took over and struggled. Yeah, that that would

162
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: be a problem too against the Steelers. If you have

163
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: to start Hubbard left tackle. I mean one thing about

164
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: the Browns offense is they were besides O'Dell, they were

165
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: really healthy last year. You know, they especially their offensive line.

166
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: Tell Her missed a few games, but Chubb missed a few.

167
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: But you got hut right. But I mean they're they're

168
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: their front five was their majority of the time. I'm

169
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: not sure what their depth is like on offense. If

170
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: it's you know, capable of stepping up. Yeah. Um. The

171
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: New York Jets, it's been a rough couple of weeks.

172
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: Lost defensive back Marcus Joiner. He needs surgery on a

173
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: torn tendon in his arm. It sounds like that mighty

174
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: for the year. Yeah, very well, could be. And then

175
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 1: McKay Beckton, their star young left tackle, out four to

176
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: five weeks. He had arthur scopic surgery to remove some

177
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: loose bodies and his uh. I think he got went

178
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: off on a cart. I didn't watch it the end

179
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: of that game, but it was didn't look I thought

180
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: he'd be out for the year, So this is kind

181
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: of good news. Four to five weeks. I mean, they're

182
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: they're in trouble. They're in trouble, you know, and they

183
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: were in trouble before. They don't watch the pass or well,

184
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: I mean some of their key components aren't there that

185
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: they've been counting on. And they didn't have many key

186
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: components to begin with. Wilson flashes though, yeah he does um,

187
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: but the rookie quarterbacks as the whole did not have No.

188
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: They all lost. I don't know how much of the

189
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: Sunday night game you're able to watch. But I didn't

190
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: understand why Fields isn't playing. It makes no sense to me.

191
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: But and he Dalton stinks he's bad. Yeah, he doesn't

192
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: doesn't elevate anyone around him at all. Lance saw a

193
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: little bit of action. Jags got be bad by the Texans.

194
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Lawrence played poorly. He didn't play great

195
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: and play great, No, he had he had, you know,

196
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: they saw he had three touchdown passes, but they were

197
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: all late. They were all late, and he had already

198
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: thrown three interceptions at that point. They go stat line,

199
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, and again it's only one game. But mentioned

200
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: Tomlin and Peyton and Carol and those guys Urban Meyers

201
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: not in that class right now. I mean, they did not.

202
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: They looked disjointed on both sides of the ball. Defense

203
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: was kind of had their hands in the air. I

204
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: thought you had them, you know, like communication problems, Like

205
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: this is a Texans. It's only gonna get worse. Yeah,

206
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: it's not gonna get any easier than that. No, the

207
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: Bengals get a big win over the Vikings. Yeah, I'm

208
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: not sure what to make of that. But the Vikings

209
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: had a bad preseason. They had bad There's a lot

210
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: of bad mojo around them, so I'm not taking it

211
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: lightly though. I think Joe Burrow is really good. That's

212
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: my biggest takeaway is Jamar Chase had a big play,

213
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: and I thought Higgins looked really good and Boyd is

214
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: what he is and mixing solids. I think their offense

215
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: is real because I think Burrows a star. I just

216
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: think against their defense, defense is going to be a problem.

217
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: They they did some things against you know, they had

218
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: three sacks, um they held Dalvin Cook to to three

219
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: point one yards to carry. You know, I don't know,

220
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: like maybe theeland's on the downs. He's definitely on the downside.

221
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: People don't realize he's thirty two. They need a third

222
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: receiver of some sort, like the injury hurts and they

223
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: don't have anybody else. Yeah, I don't know what to

224
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: take of the Vikes. You mentioned that whole division got

225
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: wallop this weekend, and I mean, I guess they was

226
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: as good a shot to come in second as any. Um.

227
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: I keep thinking Zimmer is gonna get it right. I

228
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: thought they gonna win that game big, But I thought

229
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: Burrow was really, really good. The Cardinals just demolished the

230
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: Titans just demolished him. It was never even Uh, it

231
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: was ten nothing after after one, it was six and

232
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: a half. And it was both sides of the ball.

233
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: I mean it was Kyler and Hopkins and those three

234
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: other receivers, Kirk and those guys. Tennessee offered very little resistance.

235
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: They shut down Derrick Henry and the Titans had nothing

236
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: big answer. And the chandeler Jones had five sacks and

237
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: what and Xavin Collins and Simmons and buddha Aker. We're

238
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: all out there making plays and flying around. And I

239
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: looked at that game like Fantasy banansa, you know, thirty

240
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: five forty type points each, Well half of that held up. Yeah, Yeah,

241
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm a little worried about Tennessee. That that whole division,

242
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: to me, I think is in trouble. A J. Brown

243
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: four catches for forty nine yards on eight targets. Julio

244
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: Jones three catches for twenty nine yards on six targets.

245
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: So much for that being. Oh, this is the you know,

246
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver duo in the league. You gotta practice, Yeah,

247
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: you do, know, you do? I mean, are those guys

248
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: don't stay on the field, Well that's their biggest week

249
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: only weakness at this stage. Tannehill is great with with

250
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: Smith is his offensive coordinator. And I'm not saying Tannehills

251
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: was a joke or a mirage or isn't capable being good,

252
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: But he's not an elevator, you know. And you know

253
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: he's a quality player, but he's not, you know, a

254
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: special one. And boy, they got out coach, they got

255
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: out hustle. Everything about that game is bad for tennis. Yeah,

256
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: they gave up two yards passing that you give up

257
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,599
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty six rushing and that was with

258
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: Kyler Murraley Murray only carrying about five times for twenty yards.

259
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: They were I'm sure they told Kyler, hey, we're winning

260
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: this game by time. Just handed um. Yeah, they didn't

261
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: get their Henry going. You know, that's the Browns crossover

262
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: game is against the Cardinals, and we said that when

263
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: when the schedule came out and everybody was lamenting the

264
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: fact that Steelers gotta play Seattle. Arizona is no pushover. No,

265
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: Arizona is no pushover. You're right, They're hard to play against.

266
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: This is a very impressive performance. That division is four. No,

267
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: um bush Arizona was in the ANFC South. Actually don't

268
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: because we'll see you. But they had to be the

269
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: best team the Yeah. Uh, on the same token or

270
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: by the same token, the Seahawks cruise into Indianapolis and

271
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: that much controlled that game. Yeah, that one was ten

272
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: at a half. They were in control the whole way.

273
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: They were. Yeah, I think that offense has taken big

274
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: steps forwards. You know. Ever, they were a lot of

275
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: Wilson has to make a crazy play or seventy yard

276
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: ers or Carson's just banging away. But they didn't have

277
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: a lot of I forget who said this today, I

278
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: stole it from is they didn't have a lot of

279
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: layups in the passing game. Well, in this game, it's

280
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: a lot easier, you know, like there's a Gerald Everett

281
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: on a cross or boom, you know. And I think

282
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: part of it because they didn't have a great third receiver.

283
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: Now you have Everett and Eskridge and Locke. It looks

284
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: great and Seattle is pretty good. Their defense played really

285
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: well against Indie two. I'm mu sure I believe in

286
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: the defense yet, but yeah, they had three sacks of

287
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: of Carson Wentz. He didn't turn the ball over, but

288
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: he's still only average six point six yards per pass attempt.

289
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't They don't have any weapons either. Pippins a

290
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: good young player, but he can't be your top weapon.

291
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: Can't be number one. Jonathan Taylor limited to three point

292
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: three yards of carry and they're gonna go as he goes. Yeah,

293
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: I don't really fear the Colts. Yeah, did they get

294
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: Nihim Heinz money? They just did this week, like made

295
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: him a top ten running back in terms of pills.

296
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: I saw something like Nahim Hines now one of the

297
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: top ten highest paid running backs in the league, and

298
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I mean, he's a really good receiver,

299
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: but it's a bad use of your cap space. You

300
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: don't give James White that money. It's crazy. The Chargers

301
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: going to Washington and get a win. As we mentioned,

302
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick got hurt in that game, so uh, you know

303
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: it was twenty to sixteen. Fitzpatrick got hurt early and

304
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: again a lot of Taylor heineke h he did. I

305
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: wonder if that changes the outcome of that game at all,

306
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: very well could. My takeaway was Herbert looked great and

307
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: his numbers aren't tremendous. I guess he was. I don't

308
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: have the numbers. He was forty seven for three thirty

309
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: seven yards. They only scored twenty points, so it's on

310
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: third downs. He was amazing, you know what I watched

311
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: of it, and the highlights and doing homework go out

312
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: of today. He really stood out. They didn't get a

313
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: lot out of Eckler, who's was questionable and didn't play

314
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: a lot. They didn't throw the ball to him a lot.

315
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: But I thought that was a big first test at

316
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: the Chargers, you know, passed in a big way going

317
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: across country with a new coach and a young, young

318
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: quarterback and beat a quality defense with Without Fitzpatrick, the

319
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: Jets lose to the Panthers in another a f C game.

320
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: On that situation, Donald did, okay, that Texas team is

321
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: the only team in the a f C South that

322
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: won thirty thirty seven twenty like it was. It was

323
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: twenty seven seven at that They were beating him bad

324
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: that that game, as you mentioned, was you know, if

325
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: you look at Trevor Lawrence's numbers, you go, he was

326
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight fifty one for three and thirty two yards.

327
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,359
Speaker 1: I wonder where it was to have three touchdowns, three interceptions.

328
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: That's not that's that's not a great stat line. And

329
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: he made some throws. You know, if you just watched

330
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: the Trevor Lawrence highlights from that game, like, oh, I

331
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: see why his restpect of the draft, of course, but

332
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: they hardly used James Robinson, you know, Hyde was kind

333
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: of their feature back. I just need to know. But

334
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: Jack Jacksonville's defense, that was the biggest problem. Tyrod Taylor

335
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: averaged eight point eight yards per attempt and looked very

336
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: Taylor driving the ball down the field. Cooks and Nico

337
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: Collins and I will say I said this on my

338
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: podcast today that it's been very fun to laugh at

339
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: the Texans and they're they're a joke and they'll never

340
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: win a game. And they signed thirty some you know,

341
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: veteran players to one year deals. But the guys they

342
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: signed there NFL players, and a lot of them are

343
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: high end, backup, borderline starters that you're gonna look to

344
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: replace Ethan You know, no one knows who he is,

345
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: but he started a lot of games. You know, like

346
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: and if you're pretty well coached and the team across

347
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: from you isn't well, dude, So it happened. Welcome to

348
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: the Nfluran Meyer, right right. And the people who think, like, oh,

349
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: Alabama would kill the Texans, No, they would know, they

350
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: would not know, they would not that Brown's Chiefs game,

351
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, the Browns leading that game in at

352
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: the half. Yeah, they run the ball well and played

353
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: I thought Baker played well. And then all of a

354
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: sudden the Chiefs come out and shut the Browns out

355
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: in the in the third quarter to get the score

356
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: down to uh And you know it's if you look

357
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: at Mahomes seven of thirty six for thirty seven yards,

358
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, no interceptions, he averaged nine point four yards.

359
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: Pretend now I hit a seventy five yard bomb to

360
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. You can't give that up in that situation. No, No,

361
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: you just can't. Can't get those guys, I mean only mackerel.

362
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: And then as ever, you drop a. Your your putterer

363
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: comes out for his first pun of the game and

364
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: drops the ball. Yeah, your first pun of the game.

365
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: Turn of events there, I mean, And of course that

366
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: was the biggest player of the game. But I don't know.

367
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: I still think Cleveland could be pretty darn good and

368
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City was better than I expected, even like and

369
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: it was only one week. But if you have to

370
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: pick one team to win the Super Bowl, I don't

371
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: know how you don't take the Chiefs at the second. Yeah,

372
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: the big matchup in another one when it's certainly gonna

373
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: perhaps play a factor in the a f C playoff race.

374
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: Dolphins beat the Patriots in New England. Yeah, in New England,

375
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: and think that that I thought New England. I think

376
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: those two teams would split this year, and the Patriots

377
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: win at home that they could still split off. Of course,

378
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: of course, the seventeen sixteen Game two was sixteen twenty

379
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: seven two or two yards, one touchdown, one interception. Not great, No,

380
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: not great, You made a player two. Both quarterbacks are similar. Honestly,

381
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: both were young, inexperienced against heavily schemed up great defensive minds.

382
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: That part didn't surprise me, and both quarterbacks made a

383
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: play or two, but seventeen sixteen games and that's that's

384
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: not what today's NFL is, right, And I think if

385
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: they played ten times, it's probably five five. You know,

386
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: they're they're similar. The Dolphins are all built off of

387
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: Patriot principles. You know, they kind of know what each

388
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: other is gonna do the division opponents, So that's what

389
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: they are. This one's gonna drive Bill Belichick. Nuts were

390
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: fumbles for the for the Patriots. They lost two of them.

391
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: They've always been a team that really prided the you know,

392
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: never fumble. Uh, and they do it four times, they

393
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: lose two of them. Uh. Damian Harris and Ramond day

394
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: Stevens both losing a fumble in the game. Mac Jones

395
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: also fumbled. And yeah, it's noteworthy for sure, I think.

396
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean, just think about those three names you just mentioned.

397
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: I mean, how many games with those three played in

398
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: the NFL. But two of them are rookies and Harris

399
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: hasn't play and they were gonna be counted on the

400
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: play right a bit. They're gonna be the guys touching

401
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: the football for Yeah. But that one, that one's gonna

402
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, when when people were talking about the Patriots,

403
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, being a well they got a super easy schedule. Well,

404
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: they just blew one of their their favorite in their game. Yeah,

405
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: I wonder. I mean, I haven't given as much thoughts.

406
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: He brought it up, but when seventeen games are in

407
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: the books, Patriots might have a lot of fumbles. Yeah,

408
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Mac Jones doesn't get the way particularly well.

409
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: The ball carriers were young. They're gonna run the ball

410
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: a lot, you know. I mean, I bet Bill is

411
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: a little nervous about that. The final Big A f

412
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: C game of the day, the Broncos going to New York.

413
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: I thought they would win this game, but they were

414
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: pretty impressive handling the Giants. The big news unfortunately, Jerry

415
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: Judy had a gruesome injury. Yeah. I don't if you

416
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: saw it, but it was kind of one of those

417
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: your foots are supposed to go that direction. Yeah, um,

418
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: but the x rays were negative. Strangely, I don't he's

419
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: still he's still not going to play football anytime soon.

420
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: It's they say six to eight, but I bet his

421
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: season shot sixth day for a young football player, you know,

422
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: and he's cutting off that extreme and it's a you know,

423
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: it's a lower body injury, so you can't run and

424
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: stay in shape and do those kind of things. So yeah,

425
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: that's I mean, they can kind of withstand it with

426
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: a good handler and those guys and Teddy played fine.

427
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: But Denver d was good Miller, it was an impact player. Again,

428
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 1: I think Denver's hard to play against. I don't respect

429
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: their quarterbacks much. But they're not gonna lose it, No,

430
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: they aren't. They ran the ball effectively against a good

431
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: New York front, Melvin Gordon going for one on one

432
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: on eleven carries. He had a long one. Yeah, seven

433
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: years actually look better of the two, and it's probably

434
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: the better player. But Gordon is not done yet. No,

435
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: he's not. I got laughed at when I drafted him

436
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: in my fantasy drafting, my fifth running back that I took,

437
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: and I get a guy who went off for a

438
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: hundred yards on opening right now, he's free. He's still good.

439
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're They're a team that, uh, you know,

440
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: you got to keep an eye on if you're a

441
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: Steeler phone, but hey, Steelers are one to know. Steelers

442
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: or one another win in the division. They might tonight.

443
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: I still like you. I like Las Vegas. I like

444
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I think that. I just think spread is.

445
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: I don't care Ravens are fav It's actually gone down

446
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. The Ravens are not favored by three

447
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: and a half or four. I bet it went down.

448
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean that makes perfect sense. I just think when

449
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: you when you have something devastating like that happened as

450
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: you're preparing to play a game. Yeah, that's a big deal.

451
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 1: If I don't trust the Raiders, right, if I'm the

452
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: trust factor of organizations there at the opposite end of

453
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: the specter, no doubt, without questions, no doubt, Like the

454
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: Raiders had to deal with hardships like this and be like, oh,

455
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: they're right, that's a sort of point. But that's gonna

456
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: be a tough place to play. The environment is going

457
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 1: to be that's their first that's there. They're gonna show up.

458
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: They've had time, they get ready for this one, and

459
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: it's the Invader masks, you know, all kinds of spikes

460
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: and craziness. It'll be nasty, and there's no question. I

461
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: don't I just I just trust woman organization. I don't

462
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: trust the other. Yeah, I just don't know Baltimore to

463
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: adjust your entire defensive plan, the way your defense is

464
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: built to play in three days. So Peters, everybody talks

465
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: about the running backs that these people know things feel fine,

466
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: they'll figure that out. But changing the philosophically how you

467
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: play defense because you now lost your shutdown cornerbacks on

468
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: the back end. Your defense is built to shut teams

469
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: down on the back end, which allows you to blitz.

470
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be able to blitz and and get

471
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: there and cars not? You know, if they were playing

472
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: a young quarterback here, I'd feel completely different about it.

473
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: David Carr will take advantage of the Oh, he handles

474
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: pressure much better, news too, and he knows where to

475
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 1: go with the fours, where to go with the coming

476
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: from here and get it out. You know there's Waller

477
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: running free. No. I I think the Raiders offense should

478
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: do pretty well. Yeah, I just think Lamar might run

479
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: for one fifty. I don't know that's gonna beat you.

480
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: Who's he throwing the football too? I put six guys

481
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: on Andrews and said, go ahead, throw it anywhere else

482
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: you want a big tight end matchup? Actually, come to

483
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: think of it, So I just trust one organization. I

484
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: don't trust the other. But I just think it's you know,

485
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: it's a tough situation, tough one going into. I thought

486
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: it was kind of a toss up game before this

487
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: because the Raiders were opening their their new stadium for

488
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: the first time. UM canceling practice last week after those injuries,

489
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: to me was just like, that's that shows you how

490
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: devastating that was to that team. Yeah, yeah, I mean

491
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: that's undeniable. UM, some things to look for, I guess.

492
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean, because one opponent comes here next week on

493
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: a shot, but you can watch that game because the

494
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: Steelers play the Raiders next week, and you should always

495
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: be on top of what the Ravens are doing. But

496
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: I'm really interested, as you mentioned, are thinking what kind

497
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: of pressure do they get on Car because they have

498
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: a revamped offensive line in Vegas too, and they have

499
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: to blitz heavy to do it or they're getting home

500
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: with you know, Campbell and the guys they have, and

501
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: if they are, and then then things are a little different. Yeah,

502
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure Cam and what But I just yeah, I

503
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: don't I don't trust. I don't know, I don't. I

504
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: don't trust Baltimore's pass rush to get there on its

505
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: own consistent girl curious to see. I think they'll still blitz.

506
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: They'll still blitz, you think, because Jimmy smith Is is

507
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: still he's up and he's thirty two years old. He's

508
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: up in age. But you know, I mean, they're one

509
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: corner injury away from disaster from disaster. But now they're

510
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: on that their teetering on that tight rope right now. Yeah,

511
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: but that's gonna do it for this segment. So we're

512
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: gonna take another break here when we come back, time

513
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: for the Fantasy Football Focus. Matt, it's time for us

514
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: to eat some crow. Oh, now, I know what you're

515
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: talking about. We'll get to that right after this on

516
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: the Drive
