1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on Home of the Black and

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: Goals Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Lally.

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: He is Matt Williamson. This is a drive on Steelers

4
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: Nation Radio. And I man, I thought we'd take a

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: look here at the d d o a R ratings here.

6
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: We haven't done this in a few weeks on on

7
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Football out Siders and this Eagles team, there's one weakness.

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: The third column is not so good. Yeah, special team

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: is not great. They're twenty special teams. But they are

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: second offensively behind only Buffalo. It's it's a pretty like

11
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: fourteen point difference between them and buffalost a distant one. Yeah,

12
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: they are fourth in defensive d v o A. Um,

13
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: I have noticed this too, like the old school stats.

14
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: You know, overall defense is this yardage. Overall offense is

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: just yardage. Them in Buffalo the only two they're in

16
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: the top five, you know, I mean, yeah, they're they're good. Um.

17
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: The defensive d v o A. Buffalo is number one

18
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: at minus twenty one point six, obviously minus being the

19
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: better there. Uh, then you have Dallas at minus twenty

20
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: one point three, and then Denver's at minus seventeen point eight.

21
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is minus seventeen point seven, so they're there on

22
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: the cost. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's a really good group.

23
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: As the case with Buffalo, they do get to play

24
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: with quite a bit of a lead, which helps. But

25
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: they're also really talented at all levels. And now they

26
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: have corners, you know. I mean that that's kind of

27
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: a new addition the last two years. I'll say this though,

28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is fifth in defensive d v O a

29
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: minus twelve point six. They're gonna be falling like a

30
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: rock Stealers didn't move the ball against Tampa Bay. Oh yeah,

31
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: they did, you know, so it's it's not an impossible

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: dogs Buffalo. They did move the ball against Buffalo, just

33
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: didn't score the score. I mean, if you look at

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: total overall the of d v O, obviously their second

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: behind Buffalo, and that's not close. Buffalo is forty four

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: point five Philadelphia's twenty nine point Oh. I mean, I

37
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: don't expect this game to be the same resolves built no,

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean the things things would have to go really

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: really bad like that. They're closer to third than they

40
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: are to one. Okay, and Dallas is third at points

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: casey third for them Casey is fourth at twenty one

42
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: point two. Then Baltimore at I know they're high on Baltimore,

43
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of this because they've lost

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: some may close games. But there's an art to that too.

45
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: There's an art to that. Yeah, they can't the pass

46
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: rush in the run game to close people. But then

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is six at fourteen point their skyrocketing up. Uh.

48
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: Seattle is seventh at eleven point four. Tampa Bay is

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: still eight at eight point five. I mean this is

50
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: when I think it gets a little hairy. Yeah, at Seattle.

51
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: Tampa neighborhood Jacksonville is ninth at five points six. They're

52
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: they're kind of like the Ravens because I heard Darren

53
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Shouts talking about this. He's like, I know, the records

54
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: not good, but they've lost really close games. So we

55
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: have the Steelers. Yeah, I guess that's true. They're not

56
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: and the other games have all been close. Yeah, like

57
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: you know or whatever. Uh. San Francisco is now tenth

58
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: at four point eight. I bring this up because the

59
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: Steelers right now are minus eight point six. There. Um,

60
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that's crazy. That's largely because the offense

61
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: defensively there for now fourteen. Pro Football Focus has a

62
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: similar thing they called power ranks, and I don't really

63
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: ever look at it. I looked at today. They one,

64
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, like they I mean, they're a lot of

65
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: these analytics folks realize really tough schedule, a lot of

66
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: close games. They're not thirty, you know, right, I mean

67
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: if you look at it just from strictly, so they

68
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: played Buffalo, they played Cincinnati, they played Tampa Bay, they

69
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: played the Jets, who are surprisingly eleventh. Four teams in

70
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: the top eleven. They just played in Miami, which is twelve. Um,

71
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: so half the schedule. Cleveland somehows fifteenth. New England is sixteen.

72
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: So they haven't played anybody in the bottom half. No, right,

73
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: that's the that's the point there. That so the second

74
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: half of the schedule, and I keep quick that group

75
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: you just mentioned, I think I said this yesterday. They're

76
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: collective point differentials plus a hundred and fifty. You know,

77
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: they're they're beating people back. I mean, I just look

78
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: at this second half, and you know, you play a

79
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: bunch of these teams in the bottom of this, so

80
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: you know the things are only going to go up

81
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: for the Steelers. You're not and you're going to get

82
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: the guy we just talked about in the previous segment.

83
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna get t J. Watt back at the latest

84
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: it will be New Orleans. And that's the thing about

85
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Remember when we first talked about d v o. It's

86
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, after what got hurt. They were

87
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: factoring the Steelers d v o a in there playing

88
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: without what with the injury, with him without what if

89
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: if the Steelers have what they're probably Yeah, h that

90
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: makes sense if he were back in the Heast. That

91
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: kind of difference maker. The same thing with DAC and guys, right, big,

92
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,559
Speaker 1: that's why Dallas made the big jump up. Dallas wasn't

93
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: fourth last. But now you get do you give them

94
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: for that? Right? Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, that's a good point. Um,

95
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: So even if they lose, they probably go up next week. Yeah,

96
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: if you start looking at the again the future schedule. Now,

97
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: remember the Steelers were start from thirty two and go

98
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: up to this point, they've played the second hardest schedule

99
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: in the league. After this week now because of teams

100
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: that won and lost, there's their schedule. Remaining schedule is ninth.

101
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: But again after this week, after you play the English

102
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: then and then it shoots up. It's probably turns into

103
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: you know, the fifteen tards of schedule number two on

104
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: the on the slate this week and the rest right right, So, um,

105
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: you know, I just think that, you know, when I

106
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: look at that um d v O A stuff, it's

107
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: extremely interesting here it is Ravens and Bengals are um,

108
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: you know, still on the slate. But in a way

109
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: that's good. I'm not saying they're gonna win the division,

110
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: but you'd rather play divisional games, you know, if you're trying,

111
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: if you're more familiar with, more familiar with. Interestingly enough,

112
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: I was looking at this map. The Eagles offensive line,

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: really good offensive line, right, I think it's the best

114
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: to league in the football side. A surprise me because

115
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: the ball is coming out quicker to their jobs, a

116
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: little easier than it was in protection previous years. They

117
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: run the ball very well. Still you know, it's Sanders

118
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: and hurts, but um, the holes are certainly there. And

119
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: then passes the eyeball test, I mean they got stars. Yeah,

120
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: it's a really good group. The Steelers offensive line comes in.

121
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 1: Where are they passed versus run or is that on there?

122
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: I can't remember, Um, not really okay, but they Yeah,

123
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: so it's not been awful. Um, you know, they's not

124
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: been the you know, that's just a ridiculous issue. No.

125
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: I think it's an average offensive line, which we all

126
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: would have taken going into the season, you know. And

127
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: part of that's the running back because it's the running

128
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: backyards on there, and the Steelers are low in the

129
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: running backyards imagine they are. But that's only going to

130
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: continue to go up. I think, I think so, I do.

131
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Nausey looks a little better. Um,

132
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to give credit. I don't think I did.

133
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Yesterday Dotson played a much better game. I thought he

134
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: had two real stinkers, and then I thought he was

135
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: very good in this game. James Daniels to me is

136
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: it's almost the same every week where he's a plus

137
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: player every year he's playing well. Right is playing pretty well? Yeah,

138
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: and more in core. The weakest links, well, I don't

139
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: know about that. I think the two on the right

140
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: side are very solid. The other guys have good days,

141
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: bad days, but usually not terrible days. And I said

142
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Dotson's the last two weeks before this, we're a little questionable.

143
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: But you know, everyone looks at more and if he

144
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: lets up a sack, oh it's terrible. Well he's gonna

145
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: let up some sacks. Yeah, what about the other That's

146
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: that's the biggest issue to me with playing offensive line

147
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: in this You can you can win, you win seventy

148
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: two consecutive plays and then the seventy third play you

149
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: give up a sackle. He know, or he had just

150
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: an awful game. Yeah, well paid to you know. The

151
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: interesting thing about this, I was looking at this matt

152
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: um So against wide receivers. Uh, there, there's the stat

153
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: out there. The Steelers are this is a fantasy football

154
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: step more than anything. Steelers are dead last in allowing

155
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: yards to receivers, the wide receivers, the wide receivers. But

156
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: if you look at where they rank in d v

157
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: o A against wide receivers overall, it's fifteen. That's some

158
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: stuff I put in my stat pack. Was a lot

159
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: of yards, a lot of production to wide receivers, you know,

160
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: and obviously the Buffalo game had something to do with that.

161
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: Against against the opposing team's number one receiver, Yeah, that's

162
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: something they do to Okay, it's above average against number

163
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: two receivers. There twenty against any other receivers the third

164
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: and fourth the okay Um obviously Brown is the one there,

165
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: but the Vonte Smith's rolls really strong too. I mean,

166
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: he's an every week contributor now in a big way,

167
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: in a focal point. Some of that goes back to

168
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: the fact that they were on the field so much

169
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: in the game against the Bengals. In the game against

170
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: the Brown, like the Bengals are just throwing and throwing

171
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: and throwing the entire second half of that game, right

172
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: right right, and eventually guys get the hundred and things

173
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: like that, because some of the stuff you do see

174
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: is they have X amount of receivers that have gotten

175
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: ninety yards or more. You know, yeah, if you're if

176
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: they're got twelve targets, I would hope that he ends

177
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: up with you know, right, your targets, your number one

178
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: receiver twelve times, you should end up with eight catches.

179
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: And really the last two weeks too, they've done really

180
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: good work against great receiver. Yeah, they were well above

181
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: average against Tyree Kill and Jalen Waddle, So it's probably

182
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 1: both their worst games are close to it in a

183
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: Dolphin unifor this year, this year and Evans and Godwin

184
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: or no slouches either. How about this tight end dev

185
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: o A. I think it's really good. Steelers can't cover

186
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: tight ends. They've never been able to cover tight ends.

187
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: Minus forty point four minus being good minus is good. Yeah,

188
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: that's really good. And it kind of a note of

189
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: that in the stat pack too, because Goddard and friar

190
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: Muth have very similar usage um yardage target shares. They're

191
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: close to the same age, same style. I'm a big

192
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: fan of both guys, but both these teams are good

193
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: against tight ends, you know, I mean, not that that matters, Yeah,

194
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: I just I just wonder if you're attacking this, this

195
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: Philadelphia offense this week, is it all about A. J. Brown?

196
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: Is it all the other two guys will hurt you?

197
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: But the other two guys so or do they take it?

198
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: Do they play this like they did against Miami last week?

199
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna we're gonna double or we're gonna

200
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: try to take both of these outside receivers away. And

201
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: if we give up some catches to Goddard, so be it,

202
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: so be it. I mean, one of my matchups was

203
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: just Edmund's verse Goddard because I think they might ask

204
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: a lot of Edmunds, and in these situations people talk

205
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: about Terrell Edmonds. This is this is where Terrell Edmonds

206
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: shows his value. Right. Not only has he played, they're

207
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: a heavy cover two team, especially lately against Miami. That's

208
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: a ton of sense. And he's great. He's more than

209
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: fine as a deep hath guy. But he has a

210
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: great history of playing man on tight ends and he's

211
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: usually the tight end man guy and I could see

212
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: that being That's why I picked it, because I thought

213
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: maybe they'll stick with some cover too um and that

214
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: could be Norwood and as well, because you don't want

215
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: a J. Brown running through your second pretty it's a

216
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: different situation than Tyreek Hill, whereas Hill will run around

217
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: your guys and make you look silly because he's so fast.

218
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: One just run through him anyway, physical guy. I mean,

219
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: people remember the highlights of the tighten. I mean he

220
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: was great after the catch though is um And I

221
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: also thought I didn't put what in the equation. They're

222
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: bad versa blitz and it's one of the hurts his

223
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: things he's still working on. I thought they might blitz

224
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: heavy and say, Terrell, you got daughter. Yeah, I just

225
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: wonder if this because when I asked Mike Tomlin about

226
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: you know, how do they replicate uh Jalen hurts him

227
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: practice this week? Do they you know, do they bring

228
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: in a quarterback to do it? That he use one

229
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: of their quarterbacks to do it, that they put a

230
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: receiver there? How do you do that? And he says, well,

231
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: we have a lot of we have a lot of

232
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: practice playing mobile quarterbacks in our division. So I wonder

233
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: if they attack him like they attack Lamar possibly. I mean,

234
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: he's a different style of runner. He's extremely strong, like

235
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: the weight room strong and squats and you know, um,

236
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: I still don't like to get hit. No, he still

237
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: like and he still scores a ton of touchdowns on

238
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: the ground. Yeah, he has the most touchdowns. Yeah, I

239
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: mean it's remarkable. Yeah, in the first two seas, I

240
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: thank the most rushing guards for a quarterback in like

241
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: the last twenty years or something crazy. Yeah, I mean, yeah, um,

242
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: but he's gotten much better. And the one thing that

243
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: I mentioned that podcast that coas l was on, he

244
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: was really going up and down giving great praise to

245
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers late motion on defense, you know, and the

246
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: skis and cover We done a good job, and they

247
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: started kind of last year with the shifting the line

248
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: at the last, the last possible second to get those

249
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: guys move got him. I think it got him a

250
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: false start penalty against the against the Dolphins if I

251
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: remember correctly, they had a shift in the Dolphins left

252
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: because Cam's right over them jumped here. But he was

253
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: really praising the the Skies coverage is late movement, late

254
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: late movement, with the secondary discipline, tackling all those things

255
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: you know that we've we've been talking about. But it's

256
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: good to hear someone else say it. Um Uh, the

257
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: blitz thing, I don't know. I mean, is it anomaly

258
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: or is he struggling verse blitz? I mean if TJ

259
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: is there, do you don't have the blitz? Either way,

260
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what the what what strategy I would

261
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: go with? Their? Yeah, I'm not sure either. And again,

262
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: this is a an opponent that you don't play all

263
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: that on. You know once every four years, have you

264
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: you've never faced Jalen Hurts before. That's like, pect do

265
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: you give him the Lamar treatment? Where you do? Do

266
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: you treat him like? I don't even know who else

267
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: you would look at in that category that do you

268
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: treat him like like Josh Allen. That's a good point

269
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: because you know, we talked so much in the off

270
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: season about Lamar really struggled with blitz late last year.

271
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: And I think he's gotten over that, you know, because

272
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's what he spent the whole offseason on.

273
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: Where Hurts is like a year younger, almost than a

274
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: year behind. And now people were you know that we're

275
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: afraid to blitz him because he's such a good runner.

276
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: Decided well, let's see and do a little more, a

277
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: little more, and he doesn't handle it quite as well.

278
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: Is that the book on the guy? Or can you

279
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: get home without it? Or is it just hitting him

280
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: and rushing him? Because I know Brady is a computer,

281
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: but the coverage stuff made Brady hold the ball a

282
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: pulse longer or to a pulse longer. And yeah, you

283
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: didn't get enough pressure against Tah, but if you can

284
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: make if the coverage makes him think just a second longer,

285
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: half a second longer, it disturbs all the timing of

286
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: the you know, of the plays. And they've done good

287
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: jobs with that, with the coverage. And here's the thing

288
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: about her, So I just I just put up his

289
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: forty time. He's a four or five nine guys. He's

290
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: not like Lamar, He's not He's not Lamar and his

291
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: four four. No. I bet Alan beats him in a

292
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: race too. Yeah, you know, so, I mean not an accelerator.

293
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: He's fast, but he's not fast. He's more of a bulldog. Yeah,

294
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean he's hard, he's more Cam newton ish. Yeah. Yeah,

295
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: it's a good call. I mean, and Alan sort of

296
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: that way as well. I mean, just big physical, I'm

297
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: gonna run you over. Yeah, and they like it pounds

298
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: and you know, but so have done well against those

299
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: types too. I mean, if you want to be a

300
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: physical game, we'll take every hit on the quarterback we can.

301
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: So the key then becomes on the other side of

302
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: the ball, taking care of the football there. I don't

303
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: know if we've talked about their turnover differentially. I think

304
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: we did. Yes, it's it's bonkers. I mean they're plus

305
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: twelve and number two is plus six. I think it's

306
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: the high I saw it's the highest point of highest

307
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: turnover differential at this point in the season since yeah yeah, yeah,

308
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: but six games played. They're the only team in history

309
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: to have fourteen takeaways or or whatever it was. I mean,

310
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: their turnover differential is historically good. They've only turned over twice.

311
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's craziness. Yeah, twice. Since I don't

312
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: know if that's going to keep up. That could be

313
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: a little bit fluke. I mean, here's their turnovers. So

314
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: they got they got one in week one against the Lions,

315
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: three in week two, one again in week three, again

316
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: is Washington. That's against Carson Wentz, who they know really well.

317
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: Five against the Jaguars. Yeah, that was the wet game.

318
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: That does keew it a little. I'm glad you mentioned

319
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: that game because Lawrence just dropped the ball several times,

320
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: like he really had a hard time with the weather.

321
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: That wasn't exactly I'm not taking any away from the Eagles,

322
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: but they didn't do a lot to cause some of those.

323
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: One against the Cardinals, three against the Cowboys. So they've

324
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: gone every other game. That's when Russian ploded to yeah,

325
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: when it was come back time. So every other game

326
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: they've gets one three, one five, one three. So are

327
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: they do for one this week? If they if they

328
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: only get one this week, I think the Steelers, okay,

329
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: we'll take that. I think you take that with the

330
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback that's been turning the ball over a little bit. Um.

331
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: The key for them is they've only turned it over twice.

332
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: That's the thing. They've been fumbled yet, or they haven't

333
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: lost the fumble yet. And Hurts has done a remarkable

334
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: job evaluating the football. Fran really mentioned that today on

335
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: the podcast, like he's really come a long way and

336
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: the coaches are really drilling that into his head about

337
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: protecting the football, and it's sticking with him. But he's

338
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: gonna of interceptions this year. Yeah right, I mean it's

339
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: gonna happen. He has fumbled three times this year. They've

340
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: fallen on all of them. Yea, yeah, I mean they're

341
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: not gonna end up plus forty and turn over the press.

342
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: Those things tend to equal out a little a little bit,

343
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: but key in this one. He'd like it if Kenny

344
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: Pickett was, you know a little more. And I don't know,

345
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: we're still way too early in his like people are

346
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: already panicking about this. Are you gonna be turnover prone?

347
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about that. So he has what

348
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: seven picks, two of them aren't his fault, and we

349
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: talk good and bad mostly bad about pro football focus.

350
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: But one of the things I do really appreciate that

351
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: they can do that I'm not going to is turnover

352
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: worthy plays. Pick it as five, you know, he doesn't

353
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: have all of them have been caught, and they all

354
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: of them have been caught. There haven't been three others

355
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: that weren't, you know what I mean. Some of that's

356
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: because you're throw an ice catchable ball, you know, Yeah,

357
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: you know. Roethlisberg used to have a lot of those,

358
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: but he was firing the ball in like, oh he

359
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: had had fought four or five interception worthy turnover worthy plays, Well,

360
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: they only caught one of them, or they didn't catch

361
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: any of AB's gonna catch it. But that the back

362
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: with bad hands isn't right, you know, So there's something

363
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: to that too. But there's been a little bit of

364
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: bad luck there there is again, if he, if he

365
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: truly has had five turnover worthy plays, that's not an

366
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: exordinant amount in what ten quarters of play? Yeah, you know,

367
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: usually and like the one Justin Bethel made at the

368
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: end of the game Sunday was a hell of a play.

369
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: Was also a great place, I mean, and they counted

370
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: that as a turnover worthy play the two you know,

371
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,239
Speaker 1: Hail Mary, they don't care, and the play Chase claypol One,

372
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: they don't care. Yeah, and even I mean the first one, Claypool,

373
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: the ball hits on his hands and goes to the

374
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: ground and the safety comes rolling in and makes the interception.

375
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: Like all right, yeah, I don't look at Kenny and

376
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: be like, oh man, this guy's gonna leg he's Winston

377
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: or you know, he's gonna lead the league interceptions or

378
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: anything there after year. I mean, I like that he's

379
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: aggressive though. That's the thing that you don't want to

380
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,719
Speaker 1: take away from him is the aggressiveness. You want him

381
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: to be aggressive, but you want him to be smart aggressive. Yeah. Yeah,

382
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: they'll get better at and he played really good defenses too.

383
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: But you know who else struggled early in his career

384
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: with interceptions. So Kenny Pickt in his first four games

385
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: is thrown h seven interceptions, had two games two three

386
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: three interception games. The only other quarterback to do that,

387
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: I think, I think in the last twenty years Peyton Manning,

388
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: and he had three. He in his first four games,

389
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: he had three three interception games. Like these guys fixed themselves,

390
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: but he was an h and again you wanna you

391
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: don't want to, you'd rather reel him in. Yeah, exactly, exactly,

392
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: And I think Kenny has plenty of aggressiveness, which is good.

393
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: And the thing about him is is his accuracy is

394
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: one of his strengths. Like the throw that he made

395
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: the Friar Muth on fourth and six was an extremely

396
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: high level throw. It absolutely was, absolutely was, And you know,

397
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: there aren't many quarterbacks like I don't think Hurts can

398
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: make that throw. Probably not, um, I forget what I

399
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: was listening to, but it was a really good quarterback

400
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: analysis and they were talking about a great way to

401
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: judge a quarterback is see their accuracy from ten to

402
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: nineteen yards. There's a lot of chuck it or dump

403
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: it down guys, and even like Matthew Stafford's kind of

404
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: made a career of that, but the great ones from

405
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: ten to nineteen where there's a lot of bodies where

406
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: you got a feather, Yeah, but you gotta throw it

407
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: over the lineback or hit a guy in motion. And

408
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: I think pick It has that. I don't know Hurts does,

409
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: and I think he's still working on it. I mean,

410
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: I think pick It already has that ten to nineteen

411
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: range where it's not driving it down the field and

412
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: hope they make a play or dumping it down. Yeah.

413
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: So I think there's I'm not ready to say that

414
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: he is that guy yet, that he's well, he's just turning.

415
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: They need to, you know, there were already questions on Tuesdays.

416
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: It's time to make a change. Come on, come, the

417
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: change has been made. It changes. This is what you're

418
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: going to do. This is a wholesale franchise change. And

419
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: there are you know, again, they've had their best games

420
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: moving the football overall with Kenny Pickett a quarterback. Yeah,

421
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: and it looked the best. Yeah, I mean just watching it,

422
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of getting some of the red

423
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: zone stuff down and again not getting some of those interceptions.

424
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: And the interceptions in some cases have just been him

425
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: not being on the same page as the wide receivers.

426
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: The one Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure who was

427
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: wrong there or whatever. But if he puts the ball

428
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: on the other shoulder, it's not pay It might be

429
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: a touchdow, might be a touchdown. Yeah. So it's just

430
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: one of those things that you you learn, you live,

431
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: you learn, you move on. Hopefully it makes you better

432
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: down the road and see where that goes. For one

433
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: quick nugget, just so I mentioned theante. I wanted to

434
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: make sure we talked about it just for a second.

435
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: Today ESPN has this new stat about getting open and

436
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's good or bad. He's best

437
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: in the league. Yeah, he's number one. He gets open. Yeah.

438
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: I know people are down on him and some of

439
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: his numbers are disheartening. He's had battle worse luck. Guy.

440
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: I mean he'll be fine, guys. Yeah, he's like that. Immediately.

441
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: The first series of the game on Sunday, um Steelers

442
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: run two plays. They run nausey. Here he gets seven

443
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: yards okay starting uh Deonte runs like a little like

444
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: a little shake and bake and takes off and beats

445
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: the corner. He's fifteen yards down the field, down the

446
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: sideline and pick it just missed him. That, Folks, is

447
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: a play that they rep that's one of their scripted plays.

448
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: They probably wrapped that ten times in practice last week. Okay,

449
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: we get this, we're gonna run this. This is this,

450
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: this is the one that he likes. He can make

451
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: this throw and he just missed it. That day happen

452
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: and people were automatically Matt Candle's game player. You know

453
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: it worked. Still He's still running if Pickett hits him

454
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: in stride in that in that situation, because the safety
