00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: on your home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolley here with Matt

4
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: Williamson and Matt that. How about that um Steelers win

5
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: in overtime in Cincinnati. I believe one of us picked

6
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers to win that game, one of us to Yeah,

7
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: but I picked the right team winning the game almost

8
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: exactly the way it went. We really talked about it

9
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: all last week. Um, you know that especially. You know,

10
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: I just was watching that game Thursday night and it

11
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: just struck me how the Rams offense is better than

12
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: what it showed against. I'm sure it will be. You know,

13
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: teams that have they can get there with their front

14
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: four working against those offensive lines that haven't really didn't

15
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: play together in the preseason. Those two those two games

16
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: in particular, really stood out like, okay, this these guys

17
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: can get after you and you have no continuity there.

18
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: That being said, you pointing out that Cincinnati's left tackle, Yeah,

19
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: he's just a guy. Alex Highsmith just kept running by him. Yeah.

20
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: One things, oh Jonahs stood you know, first round picked

21
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: Bama eleventh pick in the draft. He's only one they're

22
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: bringing back because he's so good. He's okay, I mean

23
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: he's just a guy, Alex Heisman. I mean no offense

24
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: to Alex. He wasn't doing a lot of special They're

25
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: just using his quick get off. Yeah, just beating him. Um.

26
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: And they can't help him, no, because you had all

27
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: the help was going to the other side with t J. Watton.

28
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that situation here in a in a

29
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: in a moment, but we'll get some news all around

30
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: the air. Who knows my beds not told him? Yeah, Um,

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: you know Alex Highsmith going out and having that game, Um,

32
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: just tremendous. Yeah, I mean three sacks in itself. I

33
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: mean that Khalil mack at three sacks. I mean studs

34
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: have three sacks. It's hard to do no matter what. Um.

35
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: But we stressed that a lot last week because he's

36
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to beat one on ones. I got a

37
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: lot of questions, you know, late in the preseason, were

38
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: worried about high Smith, like we just haven't seen him.

39
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not drop his stock just because he

40
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: didn't play. He were doing the pregame show, I was

41
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: doing the pregame show, with Tim Ben's and he was

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: talking about how well, you know, they got this and

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: they get this and they get this, and let's assume

44
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: that Highsmith is the same. And I'm like, WHOA, why

45
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: are we assuming high Smith, who was the first year

46
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: starter last year is just going to be the same

47
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: as he was last year. The expectation is, yeah, the

48
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: expectation is for eight, a guy who's in his third season,

49
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: second year as a starter, to be better than last year,

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt. And I do think he's robbing

51
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: and will always be robbing the batman. But he's a

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: good Robin and Robin, Robin puts a lot of people

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: in jail or whatever they do nowadays. The bad guys

54
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: teen Titans out there, Robin is the leader, that great

55
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: gold fine can he carry the edge? Pass rush of

56
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: TJ is? They're not there? No, but you could do worse. Yeah,

57
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and they're certainly their depth. Guys are much

58
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: better than they used to be, too, than they were

59
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: a week ago. Well, let's talk about that. Yeah, I

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: guess we'll just dig into that. Yeah. Yeah, So still

61
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: waiting news on on t J WAT. There been conflicting

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: reports out there everybody's everybody's a can read lips now,

63
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: and everybody can. We're sitting there in the in the

64
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: press box in Cincinnati, and I hear started, t J.

65
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Watt is a torn peck, Like, how do we know?

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: So I go, I look on Twitter and I google

67
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: t J. Watt and I'm looking at the reports. I'm

68
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: like this, this is just people like he's coming off

69
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: the field and pain. Yeah. I think you looked like

70
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: you lip red. I tore my back. Yeah he doesn't know, No,

71
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: you know it's you doctor now. Yeah, big brother tors

72
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: pack and told him about it and knows that it's

73
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: a bad feeling and store it hurts. You don't you

74
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: don't know if it's torn or Yeah, and there are

75
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: different degrees to that. Yeah. I did some homework too,

76
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: Like there's I guess, uh even tears. There's as the

77
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: same thing as hamstrings. Yeah, so a pulled muscle is

78
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: a torn muscle. Okay, you know it's just it's just

79
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: the levels of you know, people people here torn peck

80
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: and then automatically assumed that well he tore it off

81
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: the bone. Sure, you're huge muscles just ripped off the

82
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: bone flapping around. I don't think that's quite where we're no.

83
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: So you for different degrees. Yeah you can. You can

84
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: hell on your own from that and be back in

85
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: the same season. Uh, it could just be a low level.

86
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: And again I J missed like two months. Yeah, yeah,

87
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: Cams finished his season, but then he came back monstrous

88
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: after that and then to it, I think missed his season, yes,

89
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: but to was in week six or seven. It depends.

90
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: So it depends on when you had it as well.

91
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean he's out for the season, right, but

92
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss time. He's going to you would assume

93
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: miss some time. Yeah, and um, you know they played

94
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: without him last year. Now we we know what you

95
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: know the record was last year when they had him,

96
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: when they didn't have him. Um, but to your point,

97
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: what you were just saying, they're in a much better

98
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: spot now this year, uh than they were last year

99
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: after you know, he he really started to have the

100
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: injury issues after Melvin Ingram was traded. That's what everybody's like, Oh,

101
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: they should have kept Melviln Ingram because because look now,

102
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: look now they don't have t J. Watt. Well, you know,

103
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: you you went out and you got guys players who

104
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: can who can play. Malik Reed has started twenty six

105
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: games the last two seasons for Denver. He's got thirteen

106
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: sacks and twenty six games. So okay, if what mss

107
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: let's say six games, the the expectation is that Malik

108
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: reebill at least get you three sacks there, I would think,

109
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: you know, and maybe more. You know, that's that's just

110
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: you know what he averaged out to um he you know,

111
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: he and Highsmith can too, can too, Robbins that man.

112
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: But they can get you through. And you still hey word,

113
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: and you still have you know, the other guy, you know,

114
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: the the Larry ogunjob and and and guys of that

115
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: nature upfront, and they'll they'll figure it out. And I'm

116
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: not suggesting this guy's a world beater, but Jamir Jones

117
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: was a nice little pick up for nothing that no

118
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: one's ever talked about. I mean, in terms of just

119
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: playing defense. I'll take him over Toushka and Go and

120
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: some of the guys, some of the four's they've had recently.

121
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: He can rush the passer and be a guy out

122
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: there and secure the run a little bit. So they're

123
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: three and four guy our light years better than they

124
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: were a month ago or two weeks ago or whatever,

125
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: and they were weak spots. And the defensive line depth

126
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: I thought showed yesterday as well. I mean they were

127
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: running at the waves and if you if you take

128
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: this what was it, a thirty one, you are run

129
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: that Joe Mixon had out of the equation. He averaged

130
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: less than two yards of Carrey yesterday. I mean even

131
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: with that, he o the average like three point nine, right,

132
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean it was he average? No, he averaged three?

133
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: Oh he average is a team. They averaged three point nine. Um.

134
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: The undefense was fine. I mean I feel that much

135
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: of the time when Joe Mixon got the football, he

136
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: had nowhere to go. And I was just on the

137
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: air with Martin Madden and he was We had the

138
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: same conversation, and I thought, and I even did a

139
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: podcast right after the game saying I thought Mixon looked great. Yeah,

140
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean there were a couple of times he got

141
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: yardage out of nothing powerful. He looked like a thoroughbred

142
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: out there. And the fact that he didn't hurt them

143
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: for as money snaps as they took. I think it's

144
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: a real testament to the front. And you mentioned it.

145
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: I I really. I thought there was something to be

146
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: said for and getting the lead helps. But they rotated

147
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: that front seven, especially their front five, so much early

148
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: in the game. I mean, my Son's sit was like,

149
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: why doesn't camp heydn't because they don't need to write

150
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: even though you're going to play five full quarters. But

151
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: that fourth and fifth quarter would have been a disaster

152
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: if if cam It had been playing snaps coming up

153
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: to that, and that was with louder Milk down for

154
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: the day, right right right, like they got they got

155
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: solid snaps out of the Marvin Leo. Yeah, it looks good.

156
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean they got you know, montrevious Adams. Yeah, Um,

157
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: Tyson vis a good player. Tyson and Lulu coming back helps.

158
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: Wormley is a good player. I mean they were that.

159
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: The strength of the team is the defensive depth and

160
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: star power, especially you know up front, the big people. Um,

161
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: there's so much to talk about. I don't know if

162
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: you know this answer, but it's been bugging me. I

163
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: don't quite understand the linebacker usage. They were rotating them.

164
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: They were rotating them, and I couldn't quite figure out

165
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: the rhyme and reason. I'm going to go back and

166
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: look at it. But I think Spillane is the dime

167
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: is the dime backer, and I just don't understand the

168
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: logic behind it. Here. I know he's a great communicator,

169
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: here's the here's the logic behind it, um Splaine, I

170
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: believe I think they believe that Spillane is their best

171
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: zone coverage linebacker. He's better at it than Bush. Yeah,

172
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: And I believe that I believe they feel he's better

173
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: at it than Jack. Okay, that's what I was thrown

174
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: for a loop for is like I didn't not think

175
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: you would be better at anything than and he has

176
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: shown um a knack for getting into passing lanes in

177
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: those situations, reading the quarterback well. And so I think

178
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: what theyre and and maybe teams will figure this out.

179
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: But really, what I've seen of this in the preseason

180
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: and um, you know, into yesterday's game. So he's either

181
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: dropping into a zone or he's blitzing. Yeah, I think

182
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: there's some truth to that. That's what all said, you know,

183
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: or he's gonna spy, or he's he's something there that

184
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: he's doing crossing round like his duties probably aren't real complex.

185
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: And I know they rave about him as a communicator,

186
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: which I think That's what I was thinking, was, well,

187
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: you got six defensive backs on the field, and things

188
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: are more complex. You know, you're gonna gonna throw more

189
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: wrinkles of teams. You know, That's why you don't want

190
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: to get the third down if you're in offense. And

191
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: if I have six cover guys out there, maybe I

192
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: can live with a linebacker who's not quite his fleet

193
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: of foot and just knows where to be if I

194
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: don't ask a lot out of him. But I was shocked.

195
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: Jack wasn't that guy, you know. I mean, well he

196
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: hadn't been in the preseason even Yeah, they had stuck

197
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: with Splene in that and and so I guess that

198
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: logic adds up. But you know, you and I picked

199
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: on Spileane a lot in training camp, you know, but

200
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: that was where one on ones with all day to

201
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: throw verse air, right. Yeah, that's just a different different animal.

202
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: I thought. The inside linebackers played well. Um, you know,

203
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: nobody's talking, including Devon Bush. You know the the strip

204
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: sack that uh that high Smith had. If he doesn't

205
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: get the strip sack, Bush, yeah, Bush was gonna take it.

206
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: Was gonna take Burrow's head off. Um. So I mean

207
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: they're they were, they were, they were making plays out there.

208
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: The defense was very active. Um, we haven't even talked

209
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: to make of Fitzpatrick. They had him all over the defense.

210
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: He was he was. He lined up all over the secondary,

211
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: he's in the slot, he's at the second level, he's

212
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: back deep UH and they're bringing guys, different guys in

213
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: UH to play the deep the deep safety spot. And

214
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: ever times when you know, when Terrell Edmonds is a

215
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: deep safety and you know it's it was it was

216
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: almost like having a shadow corner. You know, it's following.

217
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: Who's gonna follow somebody around the field. Everybody else has

218
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: to know what their job is when that guy moves

219
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: around like that. Every you know, it's like when you

220
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: know with Troy Paula Mallo. Yeah, when Troy Paula mallow

221
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: would would show one thing or or you know, switch

222
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: duties and things of that nature. Other guys had to

223
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: know what they were doing around him. And I thought

224
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: that was a pretty good testament to the rest of

225
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: the guys in that defense that they freed menca up

226
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: to be able to do a lot of the things

227
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: that he did. And fourteen tackles the interest to return

228
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. That was a just a tone set.

229
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: I mean, first two plays, the first two defensive plays

230
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: of the game for the Steelers, Highsmith with a sack,

231
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: next plays an interception by Fitzpatrick like it returns it

232
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: for a score. Like Oh, so this is what Mike

233
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: Tomler meant by a dominant defense again. I mean, that's

234
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: the thing is I think that's an unsustainable level of production.

235
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: That might matter who you play. I mean, but you

236
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: didn't think it's Joe Burrow and offensive grouplod Yeah. And

237
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: the energy they brought right off the bat, you know,

238
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: setting the tone. All those lashes were very real. And

239
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: I think you and I were talking about off the

240
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: air on the air, but their defensive backs were clearly

241
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: coached attack downhill, you know, not don't don't just be

242
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: happy coming up rapping. I mean they were very aggressive

243
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: with the way they planted their foot in the ground

244
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: and attack balls in the air. And we saw, you know,

245
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: the results were right and they took it away and

246
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: uh yeah, um, you know, offensively real quick. Defensively, they

247
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: got a lot, I mean they got tons of pressure.

248
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they blitz the high percentage of the

249
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: time mixed them in nicely kept them off balance. Um,

250
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: I was only watching a voice in a TV copy,

251
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: but it seemed like a fair amount of too high safeties,

252
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: whether it's make there or not. Um without sacrificing was

253
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: back of their some and UM, you know it even

254
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: when they you know, a couple of games here, when

255
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: they get KZ back, you know it's even going to

256
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: be a deeper secondary. UM. Offensively, it was a mixed

257
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: bag very you know. I was. They came out and

258
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: they started the game offensively in the no huddle, which

259
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: was a nice tempo, and and then we didn't see

260
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: it again until until, you know, basically late in the game.

261
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised that, you know, you just

262
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: move away from every defense is gonna get tired quicker

263
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: in week one anyway, you know, I mean, I know

264
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: they didn't play a lot of snaps to wear down

265
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: at defense, or certainly weren't bullying them running the ball

266
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: to wear them down. But it did work, and Trabinsky

267
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: shown a pension for it, and I think it's a

268
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: good way to get a quarterback some layups and some

269
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: easy ones, and they did get away from that. Um,

270
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: it makes feelings about the offense of course they were

271
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: given a lot of opportunities and didn't see as hardly

272
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: any of them. You know, the defense set you up

273
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: that well, you need to have better results. Um, they

274
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: don't really have a traditional run game to speak of

275
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: right now. I mean to me, that's the thing that

276
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: needs corrected. Yeah, I mean Claypool was their leading rusher

277
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: and six carries for thirty six. I mean he's not

278
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel. I mean, to his credit, I was, he

279
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: got the most. He looks good, and that's you know,

280
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: they like Claypool folks, you know, I know some of

281
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: you have him in the Dogs and I thought he

282
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: had a good game. I thought it a good game. Yeah,

283
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: and there's almost not a ball to go around. You know,

284
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: why didn't Pickens get the ball more? Well, you know

285
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: that doesn't bother me. It won't be a trend. I'm

286
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: sure Deonte and Fireman with had a ton of targets

287
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: and we're stars in this game to me, Um, and

288
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: even Boykin contribute a little bit. He was the only

289
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: ones that I thought he did some good blocking in

290
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: the run game too. Um, But they don't have the

291
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: bread and butter, you know, they don't have the drop

292
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: back passing game and the traditional runs and that worries

293
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: I Mitch Robinsky will be better. I think that was.

294
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: You know, if that's his worst game of the year, um,

295
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: you can live with it. He missed some layups, so yeah, yeah,

296
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: there was a throw in particular, like early in the game. Uh,

297
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: they brought Jaylen Warren in for a series and they're

298
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: coming out of their own end zone and he has

299
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: Jlen Warren out in the flat to his left and

300
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: threw the ball at his feet and I'm like, oh man,

301
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: that was There were ten yards there to be had,

302
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: and you know those are the ones you gotta be

303
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: able to make. There were a couple like short outs

304
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: that he missed that he's wide on. I just think

305
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: I just wonder how much of that was first game

306
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: Jitters for a new team. You know, you haven't started

307
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: the game, a real game in a couple of years.

308
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: And and uh, you know, I think he will play better.

309
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: And I thought he did play better down the stretch

310
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: when they when they needed him to mix some plays. Um,

311
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, just to have the awareness, um when you

312
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: see the the Hubbard's offside on the yeah, right in

313
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: the game, and hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna take a

314
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: shot here. Maybe it's not the smartest throw, but I'm

315
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: gonna throw back to the middle of the field because

316
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: I know we get the flag here and uh, you know.

317
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: And what what we know don't know is did the

318
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: Steelers getting such a big lead hinder the way he

319
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: played the game a little bit? I think yeah, I

320
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: think it changed there there for a lot. You know,

321
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: they're up seventeen to three in a second quarter, and

322
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: I think they kind of said, Okay, let's don't make

323
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: a mistake. Yeah, just just go out there. And just

324
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: if you're handing it to Jerome and he's ripping off

325
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: six yards a carry and you're beating people up, you know.

326
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: But I don't know if this team can do that.

327
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: But to your point, Mitch didn't hurt the team. I mean,

328
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: he throws one more pick or there's fumble, you know,

329
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: he makes one more bad play, they don't win that game.

330
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: And I think that's the other thing that people sometimes

331
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: failed to recognize. I mean, if you start looking at

332
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: where they were getting the football, uh, and some of

333
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: those occasions I mentioned, they were down in the you know,

334
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: down their own goal line. On the one um there

335
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: there was a stretch there. I'm talking about starting fuel positions. Yeah,

336
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean they had one drive in the second quarter,

337
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: they get the ball to their own eight. They had

338
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: one uh right before the another one in the second quarter.

339
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: I got it at their own nine. I mean, you're

340
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: not gonna be extreme. Yeah, you're you're not gonna get real,

341
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, crazy down inside your own tent like that

342
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: with the lead in the way. You know, there was

343
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: another one or the third quarter where they get it

344
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: back in their at their own seventeen. I mean, you're

345
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: gonna be very careful with the football in those situations. No,

346
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: you're right, And I think that's a misconception. And the

347
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: way I said it was probably wrong. That defense just

348
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: kept handed to him on the goal line to jump

349
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: out there and they could have done more. But they

350
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: also were backed up quite a bit as well. Yeah,

351
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: so you know, you do want to be careful. You

352
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: don't want to you don't want to do something it's

353
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: going to allow Cincinnati back into the game. Um. You know,

354
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: I thought we was getting better and better as the

355
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 1: game was going on offensively, and that's kind of how

356
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: I felt it would go, Like you gotta you gotta

357
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: these guys early and get yourself a lead, and then

358
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: you know you're probably gonna up having to hold on

359
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: at the end. It was just what happened. Um, I mean,

360
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: nobody can cover Chase. I don't think don't cover Chase period.

361
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: Oh year. You know the same thing with you know,

362
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: the Packers had that issue with Jefferson, like catch by Jefferson,

363
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: by Jefferson the superhero. People want to give Spoon a

364
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: hard time. Dude, no one's covering that guy. You know,

365
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: give me a break. He's a star. Yeah, got better

366
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: and better he did. Um, And they've kind of figured

367
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: out their protections as the game one on. Then you

368
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: know that's when the Steelers, like Malette blitzed on back

369
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: to back plays there when they get the final uh,

370
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: the final sack. Um. The first time he blitzed off

371
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: the corner and Burrow happened to be rolling out to

372
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: his right. Um, so basically Milette is chasing him across

373
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: the formation. You know, it is what it is. Uh.

374
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: The second time he just he came off the edge again,

375
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: same thing, and he got there that time. Yeah. So um,

376
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: it brings me the Lea By Wallace situations. If Levi

377
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 1: is gonna miss time. I don't know if he will

378
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: or not one be talking about that because of the

379
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: right I would assume you'll see a lot more Milette

380
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: and Sutton will stay outside. Yeah to me, that seems

381
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: like a logical move. But you want Wallace out there? Yeah?

382
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: And you know again, I think you know when when

383
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: you look at the grouping there, um, you'd preferred to

384
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: have both available, so you can you can kind of

385
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: you can play Milette on rundowns or you know, against

386
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: the team. It's a lot of third team personnel on

387
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: first down. Okay, he's he's gonna be out there. There

388
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: were times yesterday where he's matched up on Chase. They

389
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: moved Chase into the slot and I'm like, that's not

390
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: a good matchup. No, I mean, he's not a good

391
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: matchup for anyone, just like you sa A Jefferson or

392
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: Davante Adams had like a fortcent target chair last night too.

393
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: Yesterday to the stars were the stars, stars and stars,

394
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: and you know it's hard to game playing around those.

395
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: Uh stus got a break that Higgins didn't play the

396
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: whole game as well. And we're talking off the air.

397
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't think Tyler Boyd's got a lot left. But

398
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst is a good player and he showed up

399
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: in this game too, more than I expected. And Burrow

400
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: got better and better, and you know, they bottled up mixing,

401
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: which I thought was one of the best things that

402
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: defense did. And no one's gonna talk about that because

403
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: of all those splash plays. Yeah, mixing came out and

404
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: I think you know, he had like twenty yards on

405
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: his first like four carries, and immediately the reaction as well.

406
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: This run defense hasn't been fixed at all, and then

407
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: he couldn't get of his own backfield like his next

408
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: twelve carries and nobody's I don't hear anything. Then it's like, okay, defense,

409
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: look fast, aggressive, getting off blocks, um confusing blocking schemes.

410
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: They threw a lot at him. I thought Austin and

411
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: Company got He gets a game ball for this as well. Yeah,

412
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin giving game balls to all the team's new players. Everybody.

413
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 1: If you were that this was your first game as

414
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: a Steeler, you got a game ball, you get a

415
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: game ball, and you get a game ball. And starting

416
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: quarterback this was his first game as a Steeler too,

417
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: let's give him a little bit of a pass. We

418
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: don't need to be calling for Kenny already. Yeah, right,

419
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: and Mike Tom was not going to make that knee jerk. Actually,

420
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: in fact, I asked, I asked Mike after the game

421
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: what his assessment was of his offense, how how he

422
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: felt his offense performed, and he's like, just like the defense,

423
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: it was a winning performance. You know, that's you know,

424
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: you don't you go into and you don't turn to

425
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: football over when you did it five times against that

426
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: team last year, and that was the reason why you

427
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: got killed in those games. You lost those games as

428
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: opposed to getting beat. I mean, you you handed them

429
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 1: the game. And in a way, the Bengals did that today.

430
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: If they if they can play turnover free football offensively,

431
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna happen, but if they can do that,

432
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,479
Speaker 1: they're gonna win more than they lose, right right, I mean,

433
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win the turnover battle by what five

434
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: and the sack battle by six? Like that's not gonna

435
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: happen every week, of course, you know, but this league

436
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how you win. I mean, it really doesn't. Yeah,

437
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: I keep saying this, like you got nine roads just win,

438
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: and you won one of them, you know, and that's

439
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: one of the hardest. It's a division game, and you

440
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 1: had six division games, and it might be the hardest

441
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: of the six, and you're one to know in those.

442
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: You know, that's all you need to know. At absolutely

443
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: one last thing before we move on to the next segment. Here, Matt,

444
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: I thought the offensive line, while the run blocking wasn't great,

445
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: the pass blood the pass blocking was fine. Yeah, and

446
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: the tackles were fine. Yeah. I mean you did not

447
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: hear a lot of Hubbard or hendrickson. Um. I thought

448
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Chokes was really good. Yeah. And I thought Daniels was

449
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: kind of what we thought he would be when they

450
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: signed him, you know, like, let's not just assume he's

451
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: a bost Yeah, he might end up being a pretty

452
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: good right guard. Might be okay, yea, they might be

453
