Speaker 2: was a full participant today that was opened last week.

51
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,760

52
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

53
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:20,959

56
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,240

Speaker 2: Cordero Patterson with that ankle injury, a full participant.

59
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,560

60
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: you don't have to do anything.

61
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 4: He practiced, yeah, being like everybody else.

62
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: He has no injury designation.

63
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,240

67
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: Okay, why do we bring that up? Because looking at

68
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: Washington side of things, yeh, he said this, This is weird.

69
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: Marshawn Lattimore, who they just traded for yesterday, did not

70
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,320

71
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: Did he pull it walking through the airport?

72
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: I think he missed. Did he missed the game last week?

73
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 4: I think he might. I don't know.

74
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they did not watch that game. Yeah, No,

00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: they traded for a guy who has a hamstring injury.

76
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: He's definitely not playing. He's not playing this week.

77
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 4: You don't think.

78
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: I don't think so, Okay, I mean there's it's so

79
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: easy just to think you plug these guys in, but

80
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 3: you laid it out. I mean, if you're not even

81
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: practicing on Wednesday and you just arrived and you might

82
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: have a hamstring, good.

83
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: Luck with that. Yeah.

84
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: I mean, he's not a rental for this year, so

85
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: they're probably looking. They probably knew all this and he

86
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: just thought he's a nice edition or a football team

87
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: for the next couple of years.

88
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:43,560

00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: They're sure that's not uncommon for him.

91
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: Offensive tackle Cornelius Lucas one of my favorite names in

92
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: the one, Yeah Star, he's just starting left tackle. Yes, yes,

93

Speaker 2: practice today.

96
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: That's something. Yeah, I mean, he's the most field goals

97
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: on the planet right now.

98
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: Yes, defensive end Dorance Armstrong has a shoulder.

99
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: They really like him.

100
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a Dallas carryover, you know with the defensive

101
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 3: coordinator turned head coach.

102
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: Tyler biatis limited with a thumb injury.

103
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 4: Okay.

104
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: I wonder if that's snapping hand or not. I don't know,

105
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: it would be a big deal.

106
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: Clellan Farrell limited with a knee injury.

107
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,560

108
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 3: never gonna live up to be on a top six

109
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 3: pick or whatever.

110
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: But that was the Raiders' fault.

111
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

112
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,120

Speaker 2: Outside linebacker Dante Fowler has a groin injury.

114
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: He was the top three pass rushers. Yeah, I mean

115
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: edge rushers.

116
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: You know. Running Back Brian Robinson with that hamstring injury,

117
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: was limited.

118
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 4: Okay. I guess that's good news for him as he

119
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 4: didn't play.

120
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: Tackle. Andrew Wilie with a shoulder injury, the right tackle

121
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: was limited both tackles by tackles.

122
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 4: Three defensive ends okay.

123
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: Cornerback Noah and I can't even begin to pronounce you yea,

124
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: he has a thumb injury. He was a full participant

125
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: in defensive tackle Fedarian mathis full participant. They list him

126
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: as a game day CPE. I don't know what that means, CPE.

127
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure it means something. Probably have somebody who has

128
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: a medical background out there screaming at the I've never

129
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: seen that though, concussion or I don't know what. Let me,

130
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: let me fire up the Google machine.

131
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 4: PE.

132
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: Could be personal or emergency. I'm thinking like something off

133
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: the field CEP.

134
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 2: He can refer it to continuing professional education. I don't

135
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: believe it's that.

136
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 4: I don't think he's got a test.

137
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: An clinical pastoral education. Probably not that. I could come

138
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: up with something canine performance events.

139
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 4: I'm not impressive.

140
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: I mean it's kind of like durry duty. Those are

141
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 2: the first things that show up for CPE. I'm guessing

142
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: it's none of those.

143
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 4: I'm gaining my brain of what I what I would

144
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: think it is. I don't know. I have to break

145
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 4: will somebody along whitness.

146
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,200

147
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: I can't be that either.

148
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: I wouldn't think so, huh. I can't stop thinking about that.

149
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 3: We should definitely move on, but I don't want to.

150
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: We got fun with that all day long.

151
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:30,960

Speaker 2: He was a full participant today.

158
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 4: Anyway, I guess it's not too bad whatever it is.

Speaker 2: Day, said game Day CPE. I don't know.

162
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 3: If he did, he could cold practice all week and

163
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: then there's something looming.

164
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: Maybe concussion physical protocol evaluation something like that.

165
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: That has to be it concussion protocol.

166
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: I think that's probably more closer to it than canine

167
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: performance enhancement.

168
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 4: Or continuing education whatever or something something. AnyWho.

169
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: I knew we would figure it out eventually we get there.

170
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's interesting. On their website they might listen

171
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: to CPE that that was directly from Washington. That's what

172
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: they sent out in their email to me. M CPE.

173
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: I'm thinking concussion protocol like that. I think that's a

174
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: good one. Yeah, examination, yeah, all right.

175
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: But I don't care. I for Darien mathis plays like

176
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: I did.

177
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we're talking about him today. He's their nose.

178
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: Doesn't play a ton, but he's not good.

179
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: I would force the action and make him play a ton.

180
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah with the CPE.

181
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd go a lot of twelve and thirteen packages

182
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: in this particular game.

183
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: If you can keep him on the field and force.

184
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: Them to play him against Frasier, Yeah, right of the middle, right,

185
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: and then that allows you then to get guys maybe

186
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: free to Bobby Wagner and run the football.

187
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: And however, when we had that discussion earlier today, that

188
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: was for the video we do tomorrow, that was with

189
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: the assumption that Laddimore might be playing. I've never thought

190
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 3: that Ladimer time kind of been saying that sense of trade,

191
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: like I.

192
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: Could see him playing on Nickel and dime h.

193
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: But I just think that you I just think their

194
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: secondary depth isn't great either if he's not in the

195
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like.

196
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: If you would go eleven or Here's what Mike Tomlins

197
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: said about the acquisitions they made yesterday, and I completely

198
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: agree with this. She's like, look, we didn't make this

199
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,599
Speaker 2: trade for the short term, yeah, meaning this week. We

200
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: made this trade because these guys are going to help

201
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: us down the road.

202
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 3: So you saw both human beings today. I don't think

203
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: it's an accident that they're both massive, massive for their positions.

204
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: You know, like, get the Ravens toy. You got six

205
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: AFC North games coming up here, you got the Chiefs,

206
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: you got the Eagles. You know, you hope to have playoffs,

207
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: likely have playoffs. Physicality and size, and the weather's gonna change.

208
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 3: I mean, like, I don't think that was an accent

209
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 3: that these two kind of are almost the same exact.

210
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 4: They're built liar for their perspective.

211
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: They're both big for their age.

212
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, they sure are, and thick and powerful and.

213
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: Right yeah yeah, so yeah, I mean, and I thought

214
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: that was the way to approach this. Look at, you're

215
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: not gonna rush these guys into the line. You're six

216
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 2: and two without these guys. Washington is seven and two

217
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: without Marshawn Lattimore, and.

218
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: You're getting stuff back from the by Yeah, you know,

219
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 3: here's Sutton, here's Frasier, here's herbig maybe you know what

220
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: I mean, Like, you're you're already getting an influx of

221
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: new guys.

222
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: So if Mike Williams and Preston Smith play this weekend

223
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: and Preston Smith would probably be more likely to play

224
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: in the role that he's going to. Yeah, be moving forward,

225
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: like he can play ten snaps for you right now.

226
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 3: And if herbig can't go, I think it's pretty yeah

227
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: Smith will. Yeah, you know, he probably dresses either way, right,

228
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 3: you know.

229
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: But you know if Mike wa we saw Deontay Johnson

230
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: last week, the Ravens went out and acquired Deontay Johnson.

231
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: I think he played fifteen snaps.

232
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 4: May Cooper's first game.

233
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: He got hurt, but I mean the first game he said,

234
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 3: I didn't know anything, right, He's.

235
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: A ten year veteran. Yeah, It's it's like time they

236
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: didn't reinvent football while he was making the drive from

237
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: Cleveland the Buffalo either.

238
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 4: Trades in this league, it's hard.

239
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

240
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: Again, it's not like sticking the right fielder in there

241
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: and hit them fifth in the lineup, you know.

242
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just it doesn't work that way. I had

243
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: to laugh. I'm not calling it any other reporters or

244
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: anything like that, but uh, there's some interviews this morning

245
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 2: in the Steelers locker room and Pat Friyarmworth talked to

246
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: and somebody asked him, does this show you the teams.

247
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: Really they're all in this season. Omar Kahn's going for

248
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: it like this isn't hockey, yeah right, this isn't baseball.

249
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 2: That that well, we made trade deadline deals that means

250
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: they're going for it. No, that's not what this means

251
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: at all. The Dallas Cowboys made a trade, right right,

252
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: I mean, and that doesn't mean they're going for it.

253
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: They It's not like we traded our whole draft for

254
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: Ricky Williams. Yeah, I mean pushed all of our resources

255
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 2: in just for now. No, you know, I mean they're

256
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: just adding stuff, you know. Yeah, And I thought Friar

257
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: Muth was he said, look, no, we've been going for

258
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: it all season long.

259
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I bet that was his answer.

260
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 6: You know.

261
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 3: It's not like I don't think the front office hasn't

262
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: done their best for us any other time, right right.

263
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't. Just you know, and I know nationally

264
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: some of the perception of the Steelers and even somewhat

265
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: locally if you listen to that other station in town,

266
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: was it the Steelers weren't on being a good this year?

267
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: Well seven wins, eight wins somewhere in there. I've never

268
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: felt that way about this team from what from what

269
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: Omar Khan acquired this offseason. Yeah, yeah, Like I think

270
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: those people were being shortsighted with everything.

271
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a terrible year, blah blah. Yeah.

272
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: No, I mean I was saying ten or eleven wins

273
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: from the beginning of the season, like, this is a

274
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: good I've been around this for a long time. I

275
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: can recognize a good roster versus a not so good roster.

276
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: There were times I can remember when it was time

277
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: to cut down the fifty three guys and I'm like,

278
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: I got like forty two that you want to keep. Yeah, yeah,

279
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: Beyond that then you're just kind of shuffling chairs around.

280
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 4: All that great yeah yeah.

281
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: And even like Washington, like they're over under wind total

282
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 3: with six and a half in Vegas. Yeah, they're up

283
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 3: to seven already. They've already surpassed that, clearly out kicked

284
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: their coverage. It's an unbelievably successful year. The acquisition they made,

285
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, it's not short term fix. How do

286
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 3: I beat Steelers on Sunday? It's we need an outside

287
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: corner for the next couple of years, and he's available

288
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 3: on an ailing team.

289
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: Let's go get him and how can we How can

290
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: we in December and January be a better football team? Sure,

291
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 2: we've put ourselves in this position now doing what we've done.

292
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: How can we be better moving forward?

293
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna get neighbors, he's gonna get a j. Brown,

294
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 3: he's gonna get Lamb you know, in in the division,

295
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: or probably gonna be a playoff team. You know that

296
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: could be justin Jefferson, you know. I mean, like he's

297
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 3: be very useful.

298
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: The bad thing about Marshaw Latimore getting traded though, away

299
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: from New Orleans, is we won't get to see the

300
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: twice and Mike, Mike Evans battles with him, just beating

301
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: the crap out of each other.

302
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 4: It's a good one. Yeah, it's an old timer.

303
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike Evans is going, oh, man, I owe him one.

304
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: Or something.

305
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: It's like Lego Batman. Yeah, you know you the joker

306
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: completes him and the exact man doesn't want to admit it.

307
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 4: And that's what I mean.

308
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: Like, folks, I've seen Lego Batman way too many times.

309
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 3: I actually haven't, but I figured it can't be much

310
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: different than real Batman.

311
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of different. It's actually not a bad movie.

312
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 4: It's actually pretty funny, I understand. Yeah, so go.

313
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: Ahead and watch that one. But yeah, so you know

314
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: they they acquired these guys again, not for this week,

315
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 2: maybe for next week against Ravens. I would think they're

316
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: ready to do They should be ready to do some

317
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: things by then. Sure, maybe when you play the Ravens

318
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: later in the season. Again, we've talked like the Steelers have.

319
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: The Ravens in mind, they have acquisitions.

320
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: Two different sets of games here where they play like

321
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: three games in eleven days in this second you're gonna

322
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 2: need you're gonna your death is gonna be tested. Yeah,

323
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: you're gonna get tested, and unfortunately there'll be a couple

324
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: of guys that are gonna fall during those three or yeah,

325
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: you know you it's better than calling the dude off

326
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: the couch like at the end last year, you know, right,

327
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: like you would feel better and you don't want this

328
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: to happen.

329
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 4: But if T. J.

330
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: Watt, God forbid, had to miss a game.

331
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 4: Right right, you're much better shape now.

332
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: Alex high Smith and Preston Smith, You're like, all right,

333
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: we'll be all right, yeah herbig you know right, well,

334
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: you know High Smith gets hurt again, all right, we

00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: got we got Whatton Preston Smith.

336
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: All right, as pressing is what if Pickens gets hurt?

337
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: I mean once had that conversation during this whole wide receiver, So.

338
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: We've talked about the whole times.

339
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: Righteah, you're in a little bit better shape.

340
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, You've got a guy who can and has been

341
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: in the past and number one has been a.

342
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 4: Number one on that type of thing.

343
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

344
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: Right, so just changes the dynamic a little bit.

345
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: And everyone listening and to myself included, I can't wait

346
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: to see them on the field and what they're gonna do.

347
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: But it's gonna be like preseason and be underwhelming, you

348
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like could be looking forward to it,

349
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: but yeah, he's into it.

350
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

351
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: The interesting thing is, and I thought of this today

352
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: when we were talking to him Mike Williams, and we'll

353
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: hear from Mike Williams later in the show. He's coming

354
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: from the Jets where Van Jefferson's dad is the position coach.

355
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 4: Okay, that was his dad's coach.

356
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's kind of an interesting dynamic there. What

357
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: we actually have Van Jefferson joining us on the show

358
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: tomorrow at five point fifteen right around there. So last

359
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: van about that.

360
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: There's so many weird carryovers between this game, by the way,

361
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: you know, like we were on a call today with

362
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: the Steelers and someone's like, didn't they used to be

363
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: FedEx Field? Like Arthur's Smith's dad basically owned the field,

364
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: you know.

365
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: What I mean, bought the naming rights of the field.

366
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean Arthur Smith and their current head coach,

367
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: or we're both head coaches at Atlanta.

368
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 4: Like, There's a lot of things like that in this game.

369
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 4: It's kind of interesting.

370
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: And actually, if you watch the Tom Hanks.

371
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: Movie Big Philadelphia, No, the one on the island, Yeah yeah, Castaway, Yeah,

372
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: well I couldn't think of that.

373
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: If you watch that one, and I've all I've wanted

374
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: to ask Arthur. I get that. I wanted to ask

375
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith this because at the end of the movie

376
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: in that when he comes back, they have they have

377
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: a press conference, and the guy who steps up to

378
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: the microphone his name is something Smith. And I don't

379
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: know if that's one of if it's Arthur's dad or brother.

380
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: I assume it would be like a brother. I don't

381
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: know if that's one of his brothers. Who's actually doing

382
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: or they got an actor to play the brother.

383
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 4: That's a great question. I'm gonna.

384
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 5: I'm gonna.

385
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask him that this year's training training camp.

386
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: This year I didn't get I don't want to ask

387
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: that in a press conference. It's just a silly aside

388
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: something I wanted to.

389
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: I mean, like a typical viewer, I would have never

390
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: put two and two together watching Castaway that it was

391
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 3: a Smith that even went up there.

392
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

393
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: I think I can't remember if they announced the name

394
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: or they had like.

395
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 4: He's picking up the crab, like this would have been

396
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 4: thrown away.

397
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 2: That's what I want. I want more crab. Give me

398
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 2: some more crab. Anyway, Yah, he lost it, Wi Wilson.

00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 2: We gotta get to a break, all right. He is

Speaker 2: did on the trade deadline day. We'll do that when

406
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: we return right after this on the Drive.

407

Speaker 2: the Matt Williamson and this is the Drive on the

412
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: Steelers Audio Network. And we're joined now by our weekly

413
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: Wednesday guest, the Dean of Doom, the Lord of living

414
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: in his fears, Bob Labriola. How you doing, Bob?

415
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 5: I'm doing pretty good deal. I mean, ready to get

416
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 5: back at it. You know, look, we've been talking about

417
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 5: the second half of the schedule since it came out

418
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 5: back in May, and now we're here. I'm excited about it.

419
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: Did the what the Steelers did on Tuesday raise your

420
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: level of excitement at all? Or was that just kind

421
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: of okay? They got a couple of guys that might

422
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 2: help at some point.

423
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 5: More the latter than the former. I think that while

424
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 5: there might have been a lot of hope or wanting

425
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 5: for the Steelers to add some top of the depth

426
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 5: chart guys. You know, certainly wide receiver roles, the position

427
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 5: that's been talked where that's been talked about since.

428
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 4: Yesterday.

429
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean and that and that all started when

430
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 5: the off season program began, or the day after Deontay

431
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 5: Johnson was traded. But what they added I think was,

432
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 5: you know, depth pieces, and I don't. I don't. I

433
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 5: don't want to to mean the players by calling them

434
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 5: depth pieces, but I don't know. Preston Smith to me,

435
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 5: is an unretired Marcus Golden. You know, he gives them

436
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 5: a fourth outside linebacker, edge player. The guy can contribute

437
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 5: some pass rush, He is good against the run, he

438
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 5: can eat some snaps without you know, having it be

439
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 5: hold your breath situation. Oh my god, you know what's

440
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 5: gonna happen. Uh, Well, we got to play these guys.

441
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 5: No offense to Jeremy Jeremiah Moon and some of the

442
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 5: other guys, but you know, we have to play these

443
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 5: guys because we we like to rest d J. Watt

444
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 5: and Alex Heismith for periods during the game. The other edition,

445
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 5: Mike Williams, you know, I don't see him in Washington

446
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 5: on Sunday, uh suddenly being you know what DeVante Adams

447
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 5: was maybe right away for the Jets, or what DeAndre

448
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 5: Hopkins was right away for the Chiefs. But he's a

449
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 5: guy who you know, he adds another weapon. He's a

450
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 5: he's a compliment, he's a guy that opponents are going

451
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 5: to have to respect. Or yeah, you know Russell Wilson.

452
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 5: You know this Now, this switch to Wilson, to me,

453
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 5: it really is, you know, coming to fruition because now

454
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 5: you have you know, only have another and another complimentary

455
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 5: weapon on your offense, but you have a quarterback who

456
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 5: that's his forte is you know, reading it, distributing the

457
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 5: ball to everybody, you know, doing those kind of veteran

458
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 5: quarterback things. So you know, Mike Williams could end up

459
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 5: being a big help to the offense, but I still

460
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 5: think it's fair to call him a depth pyees.

461
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, here you and so I know you're aware of this,

462
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: but I'm not sure if our listeners are. I mean,

463
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin's twenty five and six against rookie quarterbacks. That's

464
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 3: the third best winning percentage behind Don Shula and Hanks

465
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 3: Stram since nineteen fifty. He's also twelve and four after

466
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 3: a bye on our team and four thirteen and four

467
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 3: thirteen and four, all right, and on a six game

468
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 3: winning streak.

469
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: So seven game winnings a year behind behind.

470
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: On that I must be.

471
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm glad you caught me on that. Is that

472
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 3: just because he's had a good team and he's a

473
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: good coach or is there more to it because those

474
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 3: two worlds collide this game too.

475
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, you know, the against rookie quarterback stat

476
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 5: is you know, impressive, but this Ja Daniels, I mean

477
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 5: your everyday rookie quarterback. I mean this guy. You know,

478
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 5: he has his interception percentage. He's played five hundred and

479
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 5: twenty four offensive snaps for seven and two teams. He

480
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 5: has one fumble loss in two interceptions. His interception percentage

481
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 5: is lower today than Mahomes, Dak Prescott, e Jared Goff,

482
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 5: who is supposedly I don't know an MVP and waiting

483
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 5: if Lamar Jackson will allow him to win it. You know,

484
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 5: my kid, because I really like the Ravens have a

485
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 5: lot of respect for him. And the guy was drafted

486
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 5: ahead of him, the only guy drafted Edward Caleb Williams.

487
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 6: So you know the.

488
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 5: Record against Wookie quarterbacks. He's really gonna have to earn

489
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 5: this next match on the belt if Mike Tomlin gets

490
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 5: it on Sunday, because this guy, he's he's just not.

491
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 5: He's when you look up rookie quarterback in the Football Dictionary,

492
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 5: it's not his picture there. There might be some other

493
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 5: pictures there, but his is not one of them. And

494
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 5: then the after the bye week. You know, I don't

495
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: really know what to make of that. I don't because

496
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 5: the buys have come at different times. I don't know that.

497
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 4: I would think most established head coaches have a winning

498
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: record at least after the bye you know, you get healthier,

499
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 4: and but this is pretty extreme.

500
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I know. You know again, I don't know

501
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 5: that it's anything unique, but I think it speaks to

502
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 5: Mike Tomlin's abilities as a head coach and his understanding

503
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 5: of you know what, he always the way he always

504
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 5: describes his job is giving the team what it needs

505
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 5: at that particular time. I think a really good record

506
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 5: after the buy indicates that you're doing that, whatever that

507
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 5: might be. You know, at whatever time of the year.

508
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 5: They've come early, they've come middle, they've come late, you know,

509
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 5: and different teams need different things at different parts of

510
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 5: the season. I mean, I think this year, the getting

511
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 5: some guys back is going to be very nice kinda.

512
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't want to I don't want to

513
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 5: speak out a term as the Dean of doom or

514
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 5: whatever Dale describes me as. But it looks like everybody's

515
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 5: going to be back except maybe Nick Herbick.

516
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way it appears. Hey, Bob, what you

517
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: talked about Daniels. He's probably the closest thing to Lamar

518
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 2: Jackson in the league right now. You attack him the

519
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 2: same way the Steelers have attacked Lamar Jackson, which is

520
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: to have your outside linebackers strictly worry about him and

521
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: just let the let the running backs if they want

522
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: to hand the ball to Brian Robinson or Austin Ekeler. Okay,

523
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 2: the other guys are responsible for that, but the two

524
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: outside linebackers are responsible largely for the quarterback.

525
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 4: And they like to hit him every chance they possibly get.

526
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was just gonna say that. That's to me

527
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 5: is hit him as often as possible legally. That's to

528
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 5: me would be if you're gonna ask me what one

529
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 5: thing I think the Steelers need to do with Jayden Daniels,

530
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 5: it's that, you know, you can't call this guy or

531
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 5: you know, let him pull any of that mahomes garbage,

532
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 5: you know, fake and running out of bounds and running

533
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 5: up the sideline with no consequence. If you know, you

534
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 5: get uh he is when he is a runner. He

535
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 5: is a runner. And if he's running, you hit him cleanly, fairly,

536
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 5: but you hit him. That's the rule you're allowed. You know,

537
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 5: hopefully that the Zebras understand that that's the rule too.

538
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 5: And you know, I just don't know that they will

539
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 5: be giving a rookie the same kid glove treatment that

540
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 5: Brady got, that Mahomes gets, you know right now, maybe

541
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 5: maybe even kind of some of the stuff that Lamar gets.

542
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 5: But that that, to me would be if you had

543
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 5: asked me what would I like to see on Sunday

544
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 5: in terms of how the Steelers deal with Jay Daniels,

545
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 5: it would be that.

546
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 2: I just remember they did that the r G three,

547
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 2: the one game when he filled in for Lamar Jackson

548
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 2: at the end of a season.

549
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 4: Remember the Thursday night game against Cam Newton too. Yeah,

550
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 4: but I killed him.

551
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was never the same after.

552
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 4: Right, even if McCaffrey had a long run, they were

553
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 4: killing Newton.

554
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 5: Yeah. And you know, and I remember from that Carolina

555
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 5: game afterwards, Mike Tomlin mentioning that, you know, he pushes

556
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 5: his own players buttons, and if he gets an opportunity,

557
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 5: you know, he'll push other guy's buttons. I mean, you know,

558
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 5: there was a situation during the pregame where, you know,

559
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 5: they happened to be walking past each other, and you

560
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 5: know Newton everybody likes Mike tom and Newton came up

561
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 5: to him and you know whatever he had to say,

562
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 5: you know, in a nice pregame kind of way, and

563
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 5: Tomlin said something to the effect that, hey, man, I

564
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 5: just want you to know, get down because no, we're

565
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 5: gonna be playing today. So if you have a chance

566
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 5: to slide, and I'm not saying this was a quote,

567
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 5: but this was the gist of his message, if you

568
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 5: have a chance to get down on the ground, I

569
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 5: would suggest, because you know, we're we're coming here to

570
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 5: play physical football tonight, and so you know, maybe maybe

571
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 5: that's the way you get into Jaden daniels head more

572
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 5: than with a confusing coverage or you know that kind

573
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 5: of stuff. Because I'm not and I'm not saying Jaden

574
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 5: Daniels is soft or any of that, right, You're just human.

575
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 5: And the Steelers have a reputation for playing physically, and

576
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 5: if you look at teams the week after they play

577
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 5: the Steelers. They got long injury lists, so I'm sure

578
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 5: the word is out among the players that you know,

579
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 5: as Wolfy always says, you know, it's a two chin

580
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 5: strap game when you play Pittsburgh. So again, like I

581
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 5: said at the beginning, I think it's gonna be fun.

582
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 5: I am nervous, because I always am. But you know,

583
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 5: it's kind of like when you were when you were

584
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 5: in college and getting ready for finals week and then

585
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 5: it was suddenly on you. You know, if there was

586
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 5: there was well with me, there was always some fear, trepidation,

587
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 5: but also some excitement and you know, let's go. It's

588
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,239
Speaker 5: it's it's time, let's do this.

589
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

590
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 2: I never I never worried that much about it.

591
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 4: That was you guys, you know.

592
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 2: But I just I remember that game with r G three.

593
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 2: Every time they would do all that you know, read

594
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: option stuff, and either Water Highsmith would come running in

595
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 2: and just hit him and he would turn around and

596
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: yell at the officials every single time, like the.

597
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 4: Back gets a game out of it.

598
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 2: Hit the quarterback. Hit the quarterback every time, and it

599
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: got in his head. You could see it. You could

600
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 2: visibly see he was he was troubled by this whole

601
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 2: thing every single time that they came in and hit him.

602
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 3: Half second after it comes out of his hands on

603
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: a red option.

604
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 5: Yeah right, I mean those whatever the rules are, you know,

605
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 5: when whenever the quarterback, whatever he does to establish himself

606
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 5: as a runner or part of a running play, you're

607
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 5: allowed to treat him like a running back. And you

608
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 5: know that's the thing a lot of teams, you.

609
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 6: Know, at the at the point of whatever it would

610
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 6: if it's a read option, wherever the quarterback and the

611
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 6: running back meet and he puts the ball in his gut, if.

612
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 5: He gives it to the running back and then wants

613
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 5: to run and carry out the fake, you can hit

614
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 5: him again the legal right. And it's not cheap, you

615
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 5: know what I mean. You're not planting them or drilling

616
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 5: his shoulder into his head or anything, but to give

617
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 5: him a little pop in the chest. And they don't

618
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 5: like The quarterbacks don't like that. They don't and that's

619
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 5: why you do it.

620
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 3: And going back to LSU one Daniels is unbelievable. He

621
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 3: doesn't protect himselves very well. And just just a note.

622
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 4: There, so switch gears on you.

623
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought McCollum way excelled or way past

624
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 3: my expectations as really your third string center. But you

625
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier they're getting guys back, and none to me

626
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 3: bigger than Zach Fraser. And I always like to ask

627
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 3: you Steeler history stuff when you're on on Wednesdays. I mean,

628
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 3: I know this is big praise, but is it a

629
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 3: pouncy like rookie year with for Fraser?

630
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 5: I don't think he's a pouncy like player in this respect,

631
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 5: at least to me so far, he hasn't shown it.

632
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 5: If you want to divide the Steelers centers into strength,

633
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 5: the categories of strength or athleticism, Mike Webster would be strength,

634
00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 5: Dermani Dawson and Pouncy would be athletic. I don't know,

635
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 5: but I know exactly, but I don't know. You know,

636
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 5: if you could pull Zach Fraser on a running play

637
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 5: at the goal line and he's going to lead your

638
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 5: running back around the end into the end zone, because

639
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 5: Demani Dawson could do that, Mark Keith Pouncey could do that,

640
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 5: like Webster couldn't do that. But you know that's okay,

641
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 5: you know exactly, So I don't know enough about Zach

642
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 5: Fraser yet in his career, and his career is really

643
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 5: so young to me that I would say this about

644
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 5: Zach Fraser. I think he is on a very early

645
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 5: path toward joining the greats at that position in Steelers history.

646
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 5: You know, not all of them are Hall of Famers.

647
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 5: A bunch of them are, but not all of them are.

648
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 5: Jeff Harding's I think belongs to that group. Mansfield is

649
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 5: really good, right, Mansfield was really good. Dan Rooney always

650
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 5: talked about Chuck Drundelow back in the day, So you know,

651
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 5: those are the guys whose pictures are up on that

652
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 5: wall and the upmc rooney Sports Complex. So you know,

653
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 5: I don't know, maybe Zach Frazier's picture ends up there

654
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 5: one day a decade from now, but I think he

655
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 5: is on the path, good story, making a case for himself. Yeah.

656
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Hey, LB, something I've always wanted to ask you,

657
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: and and I think some of our listeners listeners would

658
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 2: like to know this as well. You of course do

659
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 2: the question and answer with Mike Tomlin. That drops on

660
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: Steelers dot Com every Sunday, and if you haven't checked

661
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 2: that out yet, you need to read that every Sunday

662
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: morning on Game days because it's outstanding stuff. How do

663
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: you how do you decide what you're going to ask

664
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin in those situations? You know, I uh, because

665
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: a lot of times he is really really it pulls

666
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 2: back to curtain with you in those for some of

667
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: the answers.

668
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 4: A lot of times he must be comfortable.

669
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 5: With you, obviously, you know, well, yeah, I was going

670
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 5: to say, there he trusts me. I'm and I'm very

671
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 5: fortunate and pleased that he does. You know, I don't

672
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 5: ask him what I would refer to as tabloid questions

673
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 5: clickbait questions, and uh, I think that that's a way

674
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 5: to get him to expound on some issues without saying

675
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 5: you know, like a couple of three weeks ago, I

676
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 5: had him go over the you know, through the trade process,

677
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 5: you know, just you know how it starts with the research,

678
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 5: who's doing that, who's it presented to? You know? When

679
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 5: does when does he get involved?

680
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 6: What?

681
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 5: What's Omar's role? When does when does Mike tom Win

682
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 5: get involved? When do they present it to Art Rooney?

683
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 5: You know, that kind of stuff. Rather than say you're

684
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 5: gonna get Brandon, I ask him, ask him, you know,

685
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 5: instead of and Mike Tomin refers to it as you know,

686
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 5: the ingredients in the hot dog. Yeah, the ingredients in

687
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 5: the hot dog. I just want to know how he

688
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 5: cooks it to make it. CA.

689
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 2: That's a that's a good explanation to that. You have,

690
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 2: you have a great way of Uh. Again, if if

691
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 2: people haven't read that, or they don't read that every

692
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: Sunday morning or if the games game on Monday, it

693
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: runs Monday morning, Yes, game game day morning, it's must read.

694
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: I tweeted out every weekend on my ex Twitter It's

695
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 2: it's fantastic stuff every week And you do a great

696
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 2: job with with getting him to to really explain things,

697
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 2: and I think people need to need to check that

698
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 2: out if they haven't done so well.

699
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 7: One of the one of the you know, and this

700
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 7: is kind of a Mike Tomlin tennant or principal like

701
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 7: when you ask him about you.

702
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 5: Know, scouting or evaluating players in the run up to

703
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 5: their draft, you know, and then because so often Steeler's

704
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 5: decisions made on trades or signing guys to the practice

705
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 5: squad or you know, as free agents or whatever, they

706
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 5: will go back to the research and the information that

707
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 5: they gathered, you know, during that process. You know, he

708
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 5: told me about the t J. Watt dinner Wisconsin Pro Day.

709
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 5: He said, the thing about t J. Watt was it

710
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 5: was just so different. He said, he was very disinterested

711
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 5: in the whole you know, dinner part of it, schmoozing

712
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 5: that goes between the coach and the players, the.

713
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: You know, wow, I can't believe I'm having dinner with

714
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin kind of stuff.

715
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 5: Handing, you know, all of that. All he wanted to

716
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 5: do talk about what was going to happen at the

717
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 5: pro day, what that meant to the NFL people that

718
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 5: were going to be there, and then how would he

719
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 5: be able to use all of that to get better.

720
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 5: You know, he told me one of the things about

721
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 5: Nauseie Harris that was really really stuck with him was that,

722
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 5: you know, Nausey Harris went to came from Oakland, California.

723
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 5: Mike Thomland said he was really impressed by the fact

724
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 5: that Nagie Harris got on an airplane and flew over

725
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 5: a lot of top programs in college football to get

726
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 5: to Tuscaloosa, because that's where if you know, you want

727
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 5: to be great, go there. You want to excel, excel there,

728
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 5: win championships there then you're you know, you've you've arrived

729
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 5: as a competitor, or it shows it showcases the kind

730
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 5: of competitor that you are, those kinds of guys, so,

731
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 5: you know, it just provides insight into a lot of people.

732
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 5: The procedure that they use to you know, try and

733
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 5: suss out the contenders from the pretenders. Just just a

734
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 5: lot of that kind of thing, you know. Another one,

735
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 5: he gave a tutorial on how your block kicks in

736
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 5: the NFL. And this was before all the blocks, No,

737
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 5: I mean, it was just something that to me, I said,

738
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 5: how do you block kicks in the NFL? And he

739
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 5: talked a lot about you know, the films, the video

740
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 5: study and all that that goes into it, that you

741
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 5: need teamwork within the units to get it done. For example,

742
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 5: for blocking a field goal, there's guys who are just

743
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 5: pushing them a pile and trying to create a scene

744
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 5: for other guys to get through and get their hand up.

745
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 5: And then he said, and I thought it was quite candid,

746
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 5: and I believe it is. He said, you know, in

747
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 5: the bottom line is you have to depend on uh

748
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 5: mistakes by the opponent. They have to have some fault

749
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 5: with their procedure, their snapholed kick mechanism, because if they

750
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 5: execute it, you can't block it. You can't get a

751
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 5: guy if you know, like, for example, a snap snap

752
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 5: kick to the punter one point two seconds. I don't

753
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 5: know if a guy could get there unblocked.

754
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, if it's.

755
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 5: If they do it right, If the snap is where

756
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 5: it's supposed to be, you know, right in the punter's hands.

757
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 5: It comes back there with that velocity and he punts

758
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,919
Speaker 5: the ball. You can't block that kick. Same thing with placements,

759
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 5: you know, Danny Smith, that was always his line. One

760
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 5: point two seconds, you're in the Pro Bowl. One point

761
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 5: three seconds, you've got a job in the league. One

762
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 5: point four seconds, you're working at seven to eleven.

763
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 3: So you know that kind of I don't know one

764
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 3: hundred second on long snaps, you know, I like this

765
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 3: stuff really matters.

766
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the way the ball, the spin on the ball,

767
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 5: that allows the holder not to have to turn the

768
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 5: laces away. He can just catch it and put it down,

769
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 5: because a good long snapper will spin it back to

770
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 5: him when he catches it, the laces are already not

771
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 5: facing the kicker. Every time, you know, yes, every time,

772
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 5: So I don't know. I to me, I learn a

773
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 5: lot to myself. Rules He'll get, you know, tell you

774
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 5: about rules. I'd imagine that the next one or two

775
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 5: of those, I'm gonna get them to go over the

776
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 5: rules for how you treat the quarterback during the read option,

777
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 5: ball transfer or not, what's legal, what's not, you know,

778
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 5: those kinds of things. I mean again, it's it. Lets

779
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 5: you know it, lets you know how they approach things,

780
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 5: what they're actually telling the players maybe a little bit

781
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 5: in meetings and coaching them. When when you break it

782
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 5: down into individual things or in meetings or.

783
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: Whatever, absolutely gives you an idea.

784
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 4: It's still on the competition committee, right yeah, yeah, so.

785
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 2: It gives you an idea things to look for in

786
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: the game. If you if you read the piece, and

787
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 2: you should read the piece every every Sunday morning or

Speaker 3: Might try doing that to you now that we're on video,

804
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 3: make you crack up as we're coming.

805
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 2: In, as we're coming out. I really appreciate that. That's right.

806
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 2: So Matt, the crew that will work this weekend's game.

807
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 4: Oh and look into that.

808
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 2: Okay, Brad Rogers crew U familiar with his work. I

809
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 2: think he had the opener for the Steelers. Yeah. They

810
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 2: averaged thirteen point five to seven penalties per game, which

811
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 2: is just above the league average of like twelve and

812
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: a half.

813
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 3: It sounds like a lot, but everyone has a lot

814
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 3: not out of control.

815
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: The most often called penalties for them false starts. Seventeen

816
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 2: of those. Yeah, got to call those unless apparently the

817
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 2: Chiefs are on the field, then you never know, the

818
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 2: tackles don't have to offensive holding fifteen of.

819
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 3: Those, Okay, I think that benefits the Steelers. Yeah, I think,

820
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 3: you know, good D line.

821
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 2: And defensive pass interference eleven of those.

822
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 3: I don't think that favors of Steelers. Yeah, and Porters

823
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 3: a little notorious.

824
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 2: He hasn't had a penalty since like Week two. Then

825
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 2: I know, I in the one game where he habby.

826
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but a lot of it because of his length. Yeah,

827
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 3: and I think he'll be on McLaurin. But I mean

828
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 3: it's not that big a deal.

829
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 6: No.

830
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 3: So Pickens is actually really good at gen rating them.

831
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, bet Mike Williams is too.

832
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

833
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 5: Yeah.

834
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 3: How much Latimore play but yeah, I mean Latimore is

835
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 3: a man coverage guy too.

836
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

837
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 2: So just something to keep an eye on. Fall starts

838
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 2: holding DPI. Those are the ones they call.

839
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 4: The most, but they're not crazy with flags.

840
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 2: No, those are the only three that they've called in

841
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 2: double digits this year.

842
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 3: Okay, and again the false start things is a coincidence. Yeah,

843
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 3: every every crew is going to call every one of those.

844
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 3: You know, you have to you have to.

845
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 2: If you don't, then people are screaming and yelling.

846
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 3: I didn't look into Washington's penalty history or if they're

847
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 3: bad or good or whatever, but.

848
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 4: I can tell you I'm sure you could.

849
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 2: I'm looking at that.

850
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 3: Bet they're good because they play a really clean game

851
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 3: with turnovers, and a lot of things have gone their

852
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 3: way this year.

853
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 4: They penalties are not draggoned.

854
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 2: They've only had one game this season where they've had

855
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 2: double digits and penalties. That will be too, when they

856
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 2: had Scott Novak's crew. This will be their first game

857
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 2: with Brad Rodgers this year.

858
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: Okay, what doesn't sound like a real polarizing crew, you know,

859
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 3: wat average? Yeah?

860
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 2: Yepe crewd the game in the Week one that when

861
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 2: Brad Rodgers worked at game the Steelers had against the Falcons.

862
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: They had nine, but that was Week one, Like Week

863
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 2: ones kind of, it's always a lot here.

864
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so okay, you probably earned them too. There's probably

865
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 3: some procedural stuff out there.

866
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 2: The Steelers have only had one game this season where

867
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 2: they had double digit penalties, not surprisingly, that was a

868
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 2: Cleete Blakeman game. Oh yeah, because they are way off

869
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 2: the charge turn they call everything if Cleete blake Blakeman.

870
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 2: This is why I now looked this up because of

871
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 2: Cleate Blakeman.

872
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, every week.

873
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 3: I put it out there because you get him or not. Yeah,

874
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 3: and there's a couple other bad ones.

875
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

876
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 3: The names is obviously easy to remember. I can tell

877
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 3: you they got an interesting name too.

878
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: I love the NFL Penalties dot Com. That's right, Yeah,

879
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 2: everything is on there.

880
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 3: So how many holding calls do you have? How many

881
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 3: pass interference all that stuff?

882
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 2: Uh, Cleate Blakeman's Actually the average has gone down for Blakeman.

883
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 2: Maybe somebody yelled at it.

884
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 4: I made it. Bet he got a yeah, a word

885
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 4: in it.

886
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: But they're now averaging sixteen point one three penalties per game. There,

887
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 2: We're over twenty the first like four weeks of the season.

888
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 2: Teneries a lot one hundred and forty two and a

889
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 2: half yards per game in penalty yardage for Cleat Blakeman's crew.

890
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 4: Too much.

891
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: Ron Torbert is the other one. They're at sixteen. That's

892
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 2: way too many. And you got Alex Kemp at fifteen

893
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 2: point sixty three, Adrian Hill is fifteen point three eight,

894
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 2: and then everybody else is under fourteen. So you got

895
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 2: those four over officious jerk cruise yeh yeah, yeah, and

896
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 2: then everybody else.

897
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 4: Is there anyone that's like super low Carl Scheff.

898
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 2: Carl Scheffer's cruse averages nine point one to three penalties

899
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 2: per game.

900
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 3: I think how different that is, you know, from one

901
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 3: to thirty two kind of thing.

902
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 2: Seven penalties per game on average.

903
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 4: And we're we're pretty deep into this eight.

904
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 2: Weeks into this thing, nine weeks in some cases, like

905
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 2: that's pretty significant.

906
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 3: And I promise you could probably go back over their careers, yeah,

907
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 3: you know and be like this guy, well you can

908
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 3: look that stuff up to it.

909
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 6: Yeah.

910
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 5: Year.

911
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 2: Pro Football Reference used to have that. I don't know

912
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 2: if they still do it.

913
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 4: If you just click on Clee Lateman and he's it.

914
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 2: Would give you every year what he's called and how

915
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 2: many what he averages, all that stuff.

916
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 4: Just like a running backs. Yeah, and it's not just.

917
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 2: It's not just the referee. He's kind of of course,

918
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 2: he's the face of the crew's ever heard. But it'll

919
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: be interesting to see once the playoff matchups come out,

920
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 2: which ones of these crew get the playoff games and

921
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,240
Speaker 2: which ones don't.

922
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 3: I know, Blakeman's been around a while, Yeah, you know,

923
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 3: because I've heard the name. But I would think you'd

924
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 3: want less. I would think so, especially in big you

925
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 3: get new eyes.

926
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 4: On the on the field too, and they don't want

927
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 4: a lot of laundry.

928
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Anyways, let's get to a break. That's going to

929
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 2: do it for our number one of the drive here

930
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 2: on the Steelers Audio Network, Matt and I'll be back

931
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 2: with our number two right after this.
