1
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: on your Home of the Black and Gold SNR Steelers

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: Nation Radio. To the drupe is Matt Williams. That extended

4
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: the god a little extended intro there. I just wanted

5
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: to keep everybody on the edge of their seats, of course,

6
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: much like the Steelers did yesterday anticipation. Uh, Steelers are

7
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: going to Atlanta. He is Matt Williams, and I'm Dale

8
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: Ally by the way, and uh, the Steelers going to

9
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: Atlanta coming away with a nineteen sixteen victory. Um. People

10
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: complaining about Dreds have changed. Yeah, it's happier to win. Yeah.

11
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago they scored enough touchdowns, he

12
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: scored enough points to win. Yeah. I mean, hey, I'll

13
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: be the first to say. I mean the offense, these

14
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: have put the ball in paint more. I mean, there's

15
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: no question about that. Considering the way they're playing, and

16
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: this game could have been over at halftime. But considering

17
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: the state of this this team right now, the record

18
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: and rookie quarterback wins and wins a win, I mean

19
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: no way around that. They don't ask you how you

20
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: won the games. It's how many games did you win? Uh,

21
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: Steelers improving to five and seven with that victory. Um, Matt,

22
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: we we talked a little bit about this yesterday. Are

23
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: they now relevant in the a f C playoff race? Um?

24
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: I think they're a highly relevant team that can make

25
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: noise and is improving rapidly. And I think what they've

26
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: turned into is a real spoiler for some of these things. Yeah.

27
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: I just think the a f C is too difficult.

28
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: To be honest, it's pretty tough. Yeah. I mean I

29
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: think they might be better than teams like New England

30
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: that are still quote in the hunt, but that doesn't matter.

31
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: It's your record. And I think losing one of the

32
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: those games early on that was in your grasp keeps

33
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: me from saying they're relevant in the playoff picture. We'll

34
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: see as these weeks go by. What happens here change quick.

35
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: Things do change quick, And that's been my point the

36
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: entire season. Like a team that looks great right now,

37
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: things can change. Look look at the San Francisco forty Niners. Oh,

38
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: of course, you know we're talking about the forty Niners. Uh.

39
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: You know, a week ago, two weeks ago being a

40
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: team that could possibly win the Super Bowl this year. Now,

41
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody would look at them and say, yeah,

42
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: they can win the Super Bowl. The best example, I

43
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: think you cited this in your article last night or

44
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: today is the Ravens. I mean last year's Ravens. Right

45
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: about this time, they were rolling. Oh they were gonna Yeah,

46
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: they were Super Bowl contender, and then Lamar got hurt

47
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: and they didn't win another game exactly exactly. And oh,

48
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: by the way, Lamar got hurt yesterday, and oh, by

49
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: the way, they're the team come into town this week

50
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: and there's not a team more reliant on one player

51
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: than Baltimore. Yeah, John Harbas saying it's highly unlikely that

52
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: Lamar plays this week. It's not a season ending thing

53
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: with the knee injury, luckily for them, but they can't

54
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: afford to lose any games right now, not the way

55
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's playing, not the way the entire AFC kind of

56
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: stacks they could easily fall find. I mean, I thought

57
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: it was a foregone conclusion where they were fortunate to win.

58
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: Yesterday they lost, Yeah, I mean shouldn't have. There are

59
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: some amazing stats about how they should not have won.

60
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: I mean, like, for example, Denver had the lead of

61
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: the snaps, and then they're just like Denver being Denver.

62
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: They're lucky to play the same thing with Cleveland playing Houston.

63
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: If Cleveland plays anybody other than Houston yesterday, including Denver.

64
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: If if Cleveland played Denver yesterday, they would have lost.

65
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: They probably would have lost, right Their quarterback play was terrible.

66
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: Defense isn't any better three defensive touchdowns or three special teams? Yeah?

67
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: And since you, on the other hand, might just beat

68
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: the best team in the league and or look like

69
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: clearly the best team in the division right now. Yeah, well,

70
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: so thanks change for the week. Um you know this

71
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: this uh, the Steelers, the script is getting written pretty

72
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty much the same script every week now. It

73
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: is They've they've got an identity. They have an identity,

74
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: and they have a foundation that they're building on both

75
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. They play a certain way and

76
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: that's great and it doesn't mean Unlike the Falcons, I

77
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: think the Steelers can expand on their identity. Where Atlanta

78
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: for whatever they tried yesterday, they tried to they had

79
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: to be kicking themselves. I mean, like I couldn't believe

80
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 1: that first half, the first half. What are you thinking?

81
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: Is it? And I know that you know or Steelers

82
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: are stack in the box. Everyone plays you the same.

83
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: You run the ball. They the ball six times in

84
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: the first half. It's the only thing your team is

85
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: good at, you know, and returning you know you're good

86
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: at and you're let's throw the ball all over the

87
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: place in the first half. I was shocked, Yeah, I

88
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: was shocked. It's the Steelers were quite frankly a little

89
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: surprised by all that. Like when you're interviewing the guys

90
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: and stuff. Talking to guys afterwards, you're like, yeah, I

91
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: can't believe they came out and then they tried to

92
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: throw the ball on us, thinking over and over everybody

93
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: else look at the Steelers stats and they put big numbers. Right, Okay,

94
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: that's not that's not you. That's not you. And Drake

95
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: London was good. The rest of the passing game is not,

96
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: say the least, it's pretty bad, pretty bad, pretty bad. Yeah,

97
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: So the Steelers come away with that nineteen sixteen victory. Um,

98
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: I thought it was the running game yesterday, running game.

99
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: Everybody I talked to in the locker room used words

100
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: like gritty and just just you know, Naja Harris fighting

101
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: for every yard and running through tackle arm tackles, and

102
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: you'd see h a rugby scrum and then all of

103
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: a sudden he'd scored out of the other side anymore. Yea,

104
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: it was just it was just a constant pounding. But yeah,

105
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: it paid off. I don't want to steal your thunder

106
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: because I I found them from you. But the numbers

107
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: I think are pretty intriguing of how they ran the football.

108
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah you want, would you like me to steal? If

109
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: you still go ahead? So how many attempts did they have? Thirty,

110
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: that's the one I wasn't certain. Thirty seven, I'm sorry

111
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: seven they ran about thirty seven times. Two tackles for losses.

112
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: They both were on picket carries, one of which is

113
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: when he slid and gave himself up on purpose. So

114
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: really only one negative play when they ran the football,

115
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: and none from running backs. But what's kind of a

116
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: backhanded compliment to me along of fourteen? You know? So

117
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: a note I was making while watching this is boy

118
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: and has consistently making the first man miss sometimes behind

119
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and boys he finishing runs, no

120
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: long long runs, And I don't know that that can

121
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: ever come with the stable of backs with consistency. But

122
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: if you run the ball between zero and fourteen yards

123
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: every time you do it, and you do it thirty

124
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: to forty times, we get the idea. You know, the

125
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: average five point one yards to carry. Yeah, right, right,

126
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: and earned every bit of it and earned every Not

127
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: that there weren't holes, I made it sound like there's not.

128
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: Since the bye week. Man, I just looked, just up.

129
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: He's averaging four point eight yards of carry. Totally adds up.

130
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and he looks like that back again, and

131
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: he didn't in the first half. He looks better right

132
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: now during this stretched and he looked at any point

133
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: last year. I agree. I agree. I was thinking that too.

134
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: I was watching. I was like, man, he is finishing runs.

135
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: He is hard to tackle right now. He wasn't like

136
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: that earlier this year, and even more so this right

137
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: now than last year. I think he's learning on the

138
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: fly here how to set linebackers up, how to do

139
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: those kind of things. I don't know that he had

140
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: to do that at Alabama. That's a good point. I mean,

141
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: some of those backs, like Barkley, to me is the

142
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: best example. Sake Kwe and that he's always been the

143
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: most talented player in my field, even when Penn State

144
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: played Ohio State. You know, like I can bounce this thing.

145
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't need to know the nuances. But with Naji

146
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: at Alabama, he's got five NFL offensive lineman in front

147
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: of him, he's got all these great receivers on the outside.

148
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: He's a five star, and he's a five star, and

149
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: everybody arounds is a future NFL player playing a team

150
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: that you know might have two NFL players, And then

151
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, of course they would play Georgia or l

152
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: s U and it would be tougher sledding, but not

153
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: as tough as it was in Week five this year.

154
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: That's always the thing, like, oh the you know, the

155
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. They couldn't beat Georgia this year. Yes

156
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: they would, they would, they would absolutely this year. I

157
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: question it slightly. I don't, I don't really. I mean,

158
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: they would win sixty to nothing. I don't know if

159
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: it'd be sixty or nothing, but it would be pretty

160
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: it would be pretty handy, pretty dyea. And part of

161
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: the reason I'm planning going down this this tangent is

162
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: all the different protections and you know all the different

163
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: coverages you see, Like Kenny talked about it this last week.

164
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: You know that that you know, if you see something

165
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: once in a college game, when you give that look again,

166
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna get that same defensive look right right, right right.

167
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen in the NFL, right. I mean, I

168
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: think something along the lines with Kenny said is the

169
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: speed of the game. I'm understanding and it's not too

170
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: much for me, But what all they throw at you

171
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: is a challenge for me. Right now. You're not getting

172
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: were coverages, right, You're getting twelve trigger class effort. Maybe

173
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: they should uh so a very uh just a very

174
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: uh workman like effort on the ground in this game

175
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: average four point two yards per rushing attempt as a team. Um,

176
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: the passing game was good enough. I didn't think it

177
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: was a stellar day by the wide receivers. I was

178
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: very impressed with tight ends. I thought Pickett played well.

179
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, he misses three to five throws a

180
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: game that I don't understand, but I thought the receivers

181
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: let him down a little bit, a little bit. Uh.

182
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: You know, Deonte Johnson, the crosser, uh might have gone

183
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Certainly would have been a first down

184
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: inside the ten um. That one hurt. Uh, you know

185
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: they were Pickens wasn't open as much as people wanted

186
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: to imply he was getting doubled. I mean, the broadcast

187
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: was why aren't they getting Pickens the ball? And then

188
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: I watched a second time again TV copy, but was like,

189
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he's open as much as people's and

190
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: to think he's Here's the thing about wide receivers, they

191
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: always think they're open. Always. I've never met a receiver

192
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: that Saidney, I I wasn't open out there. I've been

193
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: doing this a long time, and he has a lot

194
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: of track record of Hey, maybe there is a guy

195
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: in my hip, but throw to me anyway. I get it.

196
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: But he wasn't open. The coaching staff is in Kenny

197
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: Picketts here saying, hey, we don't want to turn the

198
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: football open, so you're not gonna throw in. He's not

199
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna throw into double coverage. He just is, especially if

200
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: you're playing with the lead. Ye maybe that changes next

201
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: year when he gets a little more confidence and he's

202
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: understanding more of what he's seeing there. But right now,

203
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: it's the same thing that happened to Deante Johnson a

204
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago against the Bengals. Everybody's saying, why

205
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: didn't Johnson get the ball? Well, if they're gonna double somebody,

206
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: he was focus to Bengals, He's gonna go somewhere else

207
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: with the ball to one of his guys who were

208
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: singled up. In one of my early notes while I

209
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: was watching, was boy really spreading the ball around, really

210
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: point guarding this thing up? Um? You know Sim's got

211
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: the eagle touching play too. He I didn't think he

212
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: was great, and I've kind of seen enough of Gunner

213
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: on the offense. I mean, he's my new McLeod for

214
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 1: this year that I think the the offense is or

215
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: the defense is happy when he's out there. And I

216
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: know he does some good things. But it wasn't the

217
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: best receiver day. So just because they didn't pass the

218
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: ball tremendously, I don't think Pickett was mostly to blame.

219
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: I did see, for example, Deante Johnson throw a couple

220
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: of nice blocks in this game that the receiver corps blocks.

221
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: I think I think he's coming to priority. I think

222
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: he's come a long way in that regard. It was

223
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: never his bag and he's the most physical, but no,

224
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: he throws his body around and I just gave Gunner

225
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: a hard time. He throws his body around like crazy. Yeah,

226
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: the boy can get snaps. He's really good at it.

227
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: Pickens loves it with some nastiness too, So I've I

228
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: also like Connor Heyward run blocked really well yesterday. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

229
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: I had a quick question if you tight end wise, Yeah,

230
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: I have not heard an answer. I'd be shocked if

231
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: you knew. But when I studied snap counts today, Fryar

232
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: Mouse were low. Did he tweak something during the game? Okay,

233
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: I didn't think so. I mean gentry Out snapped him noticeably,

234
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: and I thought Friar Mouth was open like the whole game. Well,

235
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,599
Speaker 1: they were in the ball thirty seven times, and I

236
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: mean they were putting big people out there and get that.

237
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,239
Speaker 1: They also used I think it was maybe five snaps

238
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: of the six offensive lineman on the field. That's taking

239
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: some snaps away from fireman. Yeah, that's that's when that's

240
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 1: sixth offensive lineman checks in. Farm was coming off the field. Yeah,

241
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: I think he's good enough. He never come off the field,

242
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: but I understand and maybe he gets they didn't care.

243
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: That was The thing about the running game is that

244
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: they didn't care if Atlanta knew they were running the

245
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: ball like they might as well stood up and said, hey,

246
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna run the ball here. And then just six

247
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: offensive lineman what gentry and what got snaps? So that's

248
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: where he fire mouse snaps. You know, took a bit

249
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: of a hit there. They wanted to get big because

250
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think that they've felt like

251
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta had the big bodies of match up with them,

252
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: and they were on the field a lot and wearing

253
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: down and it was and it was working. I mean,

254
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: it looked too much into it, but I was just curious,

255
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: did he tweak something that the announcers didn't notice because

256
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: they were a little bit low. But that's also a

257
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: unique game too. I mean, Atlanta is a very strange

258
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: team with how they're constructed. You know, they played keep

259
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: away from them to the first half was just the

260
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Steelers had the ball for almost twenty minutes and that

261
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: the Falcons had it for ten. I felt like it

262
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: should have been twenty. Nothing at the half should have

263
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: been but you're all, you know, they're also trying to

264
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: keep you know, every time you score whether it be

265
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown or a field goal, you gotta kick the

266
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: ball to their guys. They did a good job about that.

267
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: They're moving Patterson around like they had a deep the

268
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: first time. Well, the first one was interesting and they

269
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: kicked it. They kicked the short right that he wanted

270
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: to pitch it, and he's like, Patterson wasn't there. Person

271
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: just kind of stood and watched. So the next time

272
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: you saw Matterson, they're kind of all milling around. Yeah,

273
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: the three of them are milling around. And then right

274
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: before the kick, uh, Patterson goes to the left wing

275
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: with the other guy was back on the other side

276
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: deep and I'm thinking right or left. So I almost

277
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: expected when they did that, I'm like, I'm like, I wouldn't.

278
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: I would expect to see maybe a throwback here. If

279
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: you kick it to the guy to the other guy,

280
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: maybe he throws it back across the field to Patterson. Um,

281
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: they didn't. They used the punt returner, who did is

282
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: a good punt return. Both were back, they were both

283
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: back there. And then the one time that they actually

284
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: did kick it Patterson's way, he let it go into

285
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: the end zone. And late in the game, I was like,

286
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: you finally got what you wanted and you just kind

287
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: of let it go and it was only three or

288
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: four yards deep or whatever. It was like you finally

289
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: got a chance to return if you just give up,

290
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: are you frustrated or what was going on there? Yeah?

291
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, if you know, if maybe he didn't

292
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: feel maybe misjudged it and didn't feel like they could

293
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: get back there to get get it because they were

294
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: they were playing short. They were setting up like at

295
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: the five. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, and uh, you know,

296
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: they expected pop up kicks and things of that nature.

297
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: And I thought, you know, in terms of that, I

298
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: thought Danny Smith did a outstanding Yeah, just an outstanding

299
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: job of you know, it's it's like the moving, moving

300
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: the cups around, which one has the ball under under

301
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: that one that wasn't you just don't let just don't

302
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: end up. Don't let that guy direct the game. Yeah, exactly.

303
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: And I think this was in your article too, but

304
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: average kickoff return was like eighteen point six yards. You know,

305
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: it was taking all day long. I wouldn't care who

306
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: you're playing. I would take a thirty five going into that. Yeah,

307
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: I don't care who you're playing. But yeah, if you

308
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: could do that against that team. They led the league

309
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: entering that game and kick returning our average and punt

310
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: return average. Yeah, I didn't know much of return much

311
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: chance with that with two points and one of them

312
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: being the punt of the year. Yeah that was that

313
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: was big too. And what their first point was until

314
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: from the second player the first quarter or fourth quarter? Yeah,

315
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: so good day by the specialist is in general, well specifically,

316
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: I mean he hit the field goals as well. Um,

317
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: those guys shouldn't getunnoticed too. Now you might get Boss

318
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: back this week. Yeah, I guess I wouldn't rush him

319
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: if he's questionable, but hey, you'll they'll take him, he'll

320
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: take you'll take Bosa. Yeah. But yeah, So the Steelers

321
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: improved to five and seven, and um, well we'll see

322
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: where it goes from here, but you know, it just goes.

323
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: So there's the Steelers now four and four, and Kenny

324
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: Pickett starts to see they've won three other last four.

325
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: The one team that they lost who is the Bengals.

326
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: The game that was highly competitive and it's a really

327
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: good team. Yeah. Um, by the way, losses to like,

328
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: the Jets don't look so bad now, don't look bad

329
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: at all. You lost in Miami. You lost like the

330
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: teams that you've lost to other than the Cleveland game. Okay,

331
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's not okay, but it's I don't think

332
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland's a far inferior teams the Steelers either, right, Yeah,

333
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean I mean they had Super Bowl, right, I

334
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: mean they were running the ball really well at that point. Yeah,

335
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: yesterday it wasn't pretty for the Browns, but also an

336
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: helpless Steelers cause that the rest of the division all

337
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: went undefeated this week, even with two teams looking terrible. Yeah,

338
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not I'm not really looking at the

339
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: standings and stuff as much. That doesn't matter again, I

340
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: just want to see consistent improvement. I think we're seeing

341
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: that leaps and bouts. So if the draft were held today,

342
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: I didn't look at this show. The Steelers will be

343
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: picking fourteen. Kind as we've said all along, I bet

344
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be higher than that. It could actually, now

345
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: you start looking at this, the Chargers and and Patriots

346
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: are both six and six. There sixteen and seventeen. Neither

347
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: one is playing well either, and neither one is playing well,

348
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, so I'd like the Steals chance to anc

349
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: either one of those teams right now. Um, you know,

350
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: eighteen is as low as you can go and not

351
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, right, the playoff teams, and so it's

352
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,120
Speaker 1: amazing that's even in play that they could be the

353
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: the team on the outside looking in again, the closest.

354
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: This just goes I mean, this is why I never, ever,

355
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: as long as I do, I continue to do this

356
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: ever say at mid season, well this is over. I've

357
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: just seen this happen too many times where I mean

358
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen, there two and six at the at

359
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: the at the break and they finish eight and eight.

360
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: I've seen in the last two decades like two games

361
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: in which the Steelers are eliminated from postseason competition. It's insane.

362
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: It's insane. It doesn't happen. They're gonna be in it

363
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: for a while. I mean, especially the way they're playing. Yeah,

364
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: to your point, I mean six weeks ago, I wasn't

365
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: losing sleep breaking down Jalen Carter's pay first Will Anderson

366
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: to see speaking with Salon Carter. Holy cow, Yeah, he's

367
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: like getting out of the top three, depending on he

368
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: might be number one overall. I would have no problem

369
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: with that, right and what if he goes like the

370
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: Eagles or something, what is he a player? Yeah, but

371
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: he's not going to be a stealer. No, he's not

372
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: going to be a steal They would have to. If

373
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: they traded their first three picks, they might be. And

374
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: then they get up the three overall and there's a

375
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: run on quarterbacks. You might be in that market. But

376
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: all the people that were in love with Jalen Carter's

377
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: against him. Yeah, it's not happening. Maybe he'll go to

378
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: the NFC, but yeah, he's a stud um. But yeah,

379
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: so you just you just let this play out. And again, uh,

380
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like they're building something here. This

381
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: is something they can build off of even if they

382
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: don't make the playoffs this year, which is a very

383
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 1: low percentage, but you're building for next year. Do you

384
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: think Kenny Pickett's gonna play like this next year? No,

385
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna be better. And he's playing pretty

386
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: well right now. Well enough, you know, have two or

387
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: three better players alongside of him. Yeah, maybe they'll have

388
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: a slot receiver that they picked in the second round

389
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: where they signed somebody this year, you know, or whatever,

390
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, left tackle, whatever, whatever you maybe you go

391
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: get that little Vaughan's kid from k State and use

392
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: him as you're for all sorts. He's crazy. I'm watching,

393
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm watching. I'm watching them play TCU. TCU. They put him.

394
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: They split Vaughan's out wide. He's and for those of

395
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: you don't know, he's like a five ft six running back. Yeah, um,

396
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: he's like they would split him out wide, he would

397
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: he would run his pass pattern and TCU was doubling

398
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: him a running back with corners and safeties and stuff

399
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: like they double shock. You know. Yeah, it just opened

400
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: everything up for everybody else because he's so dynamic. It's

401
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: explosive as could be. But yeah, one more explosive weapon

402
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: somehow heard would be very very welcome. Yeah. I mean

403
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: they are struggling still to make big plays. You know,

404
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: they're getting better at it. They're getting better at it,

405
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: They're getting better at everything. I think that again, everything

406
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: flows to me, flows through the offensive line, and the

407
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: offensive line is playing really well right now. In fact,

408
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: I told you before the show started here, I checked

409
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: out every Monday, we cite Football Ciders a lot. The

410
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: Steelers offensive line play on Football Outsiders, their metrics on

411
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers offensive line now has the Steeler's offensive line

412
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: eleventh in the late we have taken that. We talked

413
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 1: about it in the beginning of season. Well, if they

414
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: get the twenty, well they'll be pretty good run I

415
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: mean eleven. My number one concern when opening day kickoff

416
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: was this line is gonna be so bad that we

417
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: can't analyze pick a Trabinsky Harris, you know, like because

418
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: the skill guys just don't have a chance. That was

419
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: my biggest worry that cow the season could have really flopped.

420
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: Now it's a strength. Yeah, I mean, these guys can

421
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: run block. They can run block with any any team

422
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: in the league. I'm not making not trying to bring

423
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: down the mood, but I hope they stay healthy and

424
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: don't have to. I mean they've been very fortunate with Yeah,

425
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: choose the corp for missed a snapp yesterday it was

426
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: this first snapped he's missed all season. Yeah, and Coles

427
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: missed a few, but everyone else, everyone else has played

428
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: every every snap. Yeah, yeah, that buds. But there again,

429
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: that's why young guys don't get hurt as much. I

430
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: think that's some truth to that. Yeah, it's they just

431
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: haven't logged all the snaps that. You know, some of

432
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: these older guys after that, chronic injuries and whatnot. Yeah,

433
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: absolutely so, lots of lots of good stuff there. Obviously

434
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: it wasn't perfect, but they don't pay to be perfect.

435
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: An ugly win, I mean, this team is not gonna

436
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: beat Kansas City forty than nothing, right, you know. I

437
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: mean I've seen, I've you know, I've seen. Wow, that

438
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: loss was they look really good that loss. The New

439
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: Orleans game in eighteen. They went down there and went

440
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: toe to toe with New Orleans, trading trading touchdowns, you

441
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: know with that team. Pretty win or pretty lost, I

442
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: should say, still a loss kept you out of the

443
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: playoffs set here. I didn't and I didn't look at

444
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: this one like boy, that was an ugly win. That's

445
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: that's you knew how that game is gonna be. That's

446
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,560
