1 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: At least. He's The Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: Williamson on your home of the Black and Gold Steelers 3 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: Nation Radio. Welcome to the Drive. I think I think 4 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: at this point the league is not postponed our show. No, 5 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: I think we're good to go. We have been moved 6 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: around a little bit here, we moved around to Yes, 7 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: very true, but I guess at this point the Steelers 8 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: will play the Ravens tomorrow at three forty pm. Obviously 9 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: that's a normal time, typical Wednesday game, right obviously, why not? Right? 10 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: Not as good as time as any. I'll be sitting 11 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: you'll be at the stadium, I'll be on my blazy boy, 12 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: and the Drive won't be happening, and we'll be watching 13 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,919 Speaker 1: Steelers and some facts simile of the Ravens, I hope, 14 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: And who knows. I mean, you know, it's it's all 15 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: the snow that we've gotten here in Pittsburgh today. You know, 16 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: John John Harbaugh was expressing, you know, concern about getting 17 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: here two of snow. The Ravens have never traveled with 18 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: any kind of weather at any time in their ever, right. Yeah, Um, 19 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: we were kind of talking about off the air. It's 20 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: like it sure, seemed like the Ravens organization had a 21 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: lot of reasons not to play and no reasons why 22 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: it never Oh we should power through it or you know, 23 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: they said they were. They released a statement Sunday saying that, 24 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: but in the meantime, every time you've got a report 25 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: from a national from one of the national reporters, sources 26 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: inside the Ravens questions whether they can play. You know, 27 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: so we're uh. Sources inside the Ravens said they have 28 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: closed their facility to you know through through Monday. They delayed, delayed, delayed, 29 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: installed like the babies that they are, and even with 30 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: yes to the point where now tomorrow j K. Dobbins 31 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: and mark Ingram are going to be eligible to play 32 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: in this game that they went that'll that'll be their 33 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: ten day. Mark's been ten days from when they tested 34 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: positive for COVID H, three days before they were supposed 35 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: to play the Steelers original when it ruled out can't play. 36 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: They're out for week twelve. Yeah, that part rubs me 37 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: wrong in the most absolutely does. I mean, it wasn't 38 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: like they got Lamar back, but in the NFL allowed 39 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens players supposedly to say that well, we're not 40 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: We don't want to play this game because we don't 41 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, because we don't feel that will be you know, 42 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: we need to have a practice. We feel like we 43 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: need to have a practice because we haven't been able 44 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 1: to do anything. You know, bullcrap, Denver, We're like to 45 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: have a quarterback, you know. Like that to me is 46 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: where they screwed up. The hammer cannot come down heavily. 47 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: And Roger Goodell looks like a fool for this whole situation. 48 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: He's been manipulated throughout this whole process by Baltimore. Uh, 49 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: they need the book needs to be thrown at these guys. 50 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: And if it's not again I said it yesterday, I'll 51 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: say it again. Gooddell, who I've defended in the past, 52 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: is not the guy to be leading the NFL. Yeah, 53 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: I mean that's strong. I don't disagree with you. You can't. 54 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: You can't. Here's the thing. You can't, in the job 55 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: of commissioner have the appearance of favoritism towards one team 56 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: or another, depending on whether or not you happen to 57 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: be friendly with the owner. He's certainly he's friendly with 58 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft, but that didn't that didn't stop him from 59 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: from dropping the hammer on on Tom Brady in the 60 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: in the Patriots a couple of times. Some people say 61 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: that wasn't enough, but it was substantial, substantial there. You know, 62 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: Brady was suspended, they lost first round draft pick, all 63 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: the there was stuff that happened to them. If the 64 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: Ravens get away with this, I don't know how. I 65 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: don't know how Goodell can go forward with the trust 66 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: of the other thirty one owners. It certainly would be 67 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: a bad look. And you're right, you would lose a 68 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: lot of trust as a commissioner. This isn't exactly what 69 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: you're saying, But there was a couple of weeks ago 70 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: we were talking Titans and saying, you've got to be 71 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: hard on these guys. They're breaking rules, and they got 72 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: slap on the wrist. But since then we've seen a 73 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: lot of big fines. For John Gruden doesn't wear a 74 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: mask long enough on the sideline, got a fine for 75 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: pulling his mask down at one point during a game, 76 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: right to communicate with his job. You know, like some 77 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: of that stuff to me's insane, and this is worse 78 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: absolutely obviously, Um I don't know something well, I bet 79 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: It doesn't, though, is where I was going with us, 80 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: just because we saw Tennessee and I thought they said 81 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: a great precedence of Hey, the show goes on and 82 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: this has when kickoff is. I'm sorry Denver that you're 83 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: in a real predicament, but hey, this was somewhat self 84 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: inflicted by you guys. You didn't your you had quarterbacks 85 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: all hovering together without masks and whatnot. What if the 86 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos have said, hey, we we don't feel comfortable 87 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: playing this game. We have, Yeah, we had people in 88 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: our building test positive yesterday. We don't feel like we 89 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: can safely play this game on Sunday, And that's not 90 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: that precedent has been set. But that's not what Baltimore said, right. 91 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: They basically said we need to practice, which to me 92 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: is way we well they said we also we also 93 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: fear because we haven't practiced in you know, because our 94 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: facility has been shut down, that we may pull some 95 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: muscles and things like things of that nature. I mean, seriously, 96 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: you're a professional athlete. You've not been sitting around your 97 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: house doing nothing, and if you did, shame on you. Well, 98 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: then that's on m right, you didn't do your job right. 99 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: I mean I'd be saying this if it was the Steelers. 100 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: I mean that the show should go on and frankly, 101 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: the team shouldn't have any saying it. I mean, the 102 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: league is having a game and now there the schedules made, 103 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: the you know, the people have have made their you know, 104 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: the networks have made their schedule here changed it now 105 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: three times. Yeah, you know it's I can't imagine when NBC. 106 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: It can't happen. It just can't happen. Um again, unless 107 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: the Ravens, if the hammer doesn't dropping them Goodell, the 108 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: rest of the season is going to be like this. 109 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: Is it well known that he's that's probably his favorite 110 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: owner or I don't know if it's his favorite owner. 111 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: But they're tight. I mean I know that that they 112 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: are tight, um more so than the other ones. But 113 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: it's just you've opened the door. Now, you've opened that 114 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: box and said, okay, so the next time somebody has 115 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: a player test positive on a Friday, Saturday, this week 116 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: and next week and every as if I'm if I'm not, 117 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: team's what we can't play this weekend? Ravens got away 118 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 1: with it. If it works to your advantage of pushing 119 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: it back, gives you a better chance to win the 120 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: football game. Why not try it. Baltimore's whole plan, the 121 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: entire plan, this whole thing was schemed up to get 122 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: this game pushed the week eighteen. And they see there, 123 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: but at least pushing it back helped. It helped a 124 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: little bit. They stalled, installed in stalled. Not only that, okay, 125 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: but now because the game is on Wednesday night, their 126 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: next game got pushed to Tuesday night, at which point 127 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson could be back, as opposed to it, had 128 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: they played Thursday and then Sunday or Thursday Thursday, we 129 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: might help them more in week than twelve, which they 130 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: were gonna be without Lamar Jackson for two games. And 131 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: now it only might only be now it's probably only 132 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,119 Speaker 1: gonna be one, which would be mass That's way bigger 133 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: than getting Dobbins and Ingram back and all those. And 134 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: so again they pulled a Dean Smith, you know, four 135 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: corners offense here and they and they've pulled it off 136 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: in retrospect, if I'm goodell, I'm sitting here and going, okay, 137 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: you got that. We had to we had to move this, 138 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: and I'm okay, but you know you're giving up a 139 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: third round draft pick. It wouldn't break my harder. I 140 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: think could probably be justified too, if he or somebody 141 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: from the league office came out a week from now 142 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: and said, we screwed that up with the Ravens. You know, 143 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: come out and say you were wrong. Yeah, admitted we 144 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: gave them too much lead. That will never happen and 145 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: will never happen. You never hear that from the You 146 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: could have said we're gonna keep it. Should have just 147 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: kept two. I mean we've we've seen officials just butcher play. 148 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: They barely admitted they made a mistake two years ago 149 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game, right, and that changed the 150 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: rule directly right, Their actions in exactly back well, you 151 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: know he couldn't see that. So football, I mean, all 152 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: the nonsense and scheduling and stuff aside. This has helped 153 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: the Ravens, but I don't know that it's made them 154 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: a lot better chance to win the game. No, they're 155 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: still gonna get They're gonna get a whole stunt on 156 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: them to wow. I think so. And now the Steelers 157 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: gonna take a personally. Now the Steelers will take it personally. 158 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: It's Ravens anyway, it's not like he didn't have to 159 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: get up. But because here's what's happened to the Steelers. 160 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: They've now they'll go ten days without having played a game, 161 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: mh and then play three games in twelve days. So 162 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: then it's a no fall to their own right and 163 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: you're you know, you wouldn't be as fresh as possible 164 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: for the postseason. You shouldn't have to play three and 165 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: twelve from week thirteen to fifteen. I mean, that's it's 166 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: it's different if that's why after that or you know, 167 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: we we talked about the day in Garraziano tweets yesterday 168 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: and you know, I know, you know him, um, but 169 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: he was coming out so well, you know this does 170 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: this No team is getting screwed here, Yeah they are. Yeah, 171 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: I mean it's not the worst thing in the world, 172 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: but it's a massive inconvenience. How about the cow The 173 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna go from Thursday until next Tuesday without 174 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: playing a game, almost two weeks off, almost two weeks off, 175 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 1: which at times you look at and say, boy, it's 176 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: great to get an extra by, but you didn't prepare 177 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: for you didn't set these guys up to treat it 178 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: like bye they were probably they were probably practicing yesterday 179 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: right right right, or at least meeting, you know, like, 180 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: can we talked about this yesterday the Steelers. How many 181 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: walkthroughs have they had this week? I mean where they 182 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: would have just had a real practice or treated it 183 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: like a bye week practice. Instead they're walking through and 184 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: then tomorrow is not a game where you get down 185 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: to the facility like I think last Friday they went 186 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: down to the facility and hung out until Mike Tomlins said, yeah, 187 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: we're not going to practice day and maybe that was Wednesday. 188 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: I can't remember. I've lost track because it's been so 189 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: many of these. I wrote a story about it last night, 190 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: and I'm like trying to figure out my mind. How 191 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: many you know, going through the timeline of this whole thing. 192 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, ridiculous. It's really run me for a loop 193 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: because I'm a creature habit too, and I can't quite 194 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,599 Speaker 1: figure out what day it is and what week it 195 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: is now do and we were talking about this off 196 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: the air, like everything I'm reading from around the league 197 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: is geared towards Week thirteen, like a normal Tuesday, and 198 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: I'm already see him picks for next week's for this 199 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: week's game, there's a game, lots to be played, hopefully. 200 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: The power rankings came out yea, and Ves haven't played 201 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: and it's still another twenty four hours. And they were 202 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: supposed to be on the first day of the like 203 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: that was to be the headliner on you know, yeah, 204 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: and I can't imagine what NBC is lost in at all. 205 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: I mean, think about how much going from that game 206 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: on Thursday night, Thanks Wednesday, when people aren't even at 207 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: home half the time. What a difference in the views. Absolutely, 208 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: And then you look at the you know, the back 209 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: end of this as well, um, you know, as opposed 210 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: to for Fox, as opposed to having the Steelers in 211 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: Washington on Sunday. Now they're got to have it at 212 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: five o'clock on a on a Monday. It's not gonna 213 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: be a heavily watched game, but standards either of course not. 214 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: And it's yeah, again, it's just harder for the just 215 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: from a Steeler's perspective, it's so much harder to plan 216 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: your week, to plan your practices to have this one set. 217 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna install this that goes to year 218 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: and you know, this game plan and oh, now we've 219 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: got two more days to figure it out, you know, 220 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: like and now then you rushed for Washington, and who's 221 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: the team you're not real familiar with, and you know, 222 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: start breaking down their tape and I don't know, I mean, 223 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: the whole organization of it all has to be a Well, 224 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: here we go. Get some new news here. The Ravens 225 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: have activated four more players from their COVID reserve list. 226 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: That would be Trace McSorley knows tackle, Brandon Williams, Tavon 227 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: Young who's on injured reserve, Khalil Dorsey. I believe he 228 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: was also on injured reserve. But they're getting all these 229 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: guys back. They're all gonna play that McSorley, well, mcsurely 230 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: will be available now. It's back up now. But Brandon 231 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: Williams will now be available to play. He wasn't gonna 232 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: play on that Thursday night game he missed the previous week. 233 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: Is there any news on the centers. I haven't heard anything, 234 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: not yet, but that could still happen. That could well, 235 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: they went on last Wednesday, so they probably they're probably 236 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: gonna be without those guys. They're not gonna have Lamar Jackson. 237 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: Of course, uh no, Calais Campbell, those guys. But still 238 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: they're getting guys back that way on after their last game, 239 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: they would not have played, let alone Dobbins. Dobbins and 240 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: Ingram would not have played. Dobbins and Ingram have to 241 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: drive here tomorrow the team. The team is flying in tonight. 242 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: They're they're bringing in Dobbins in in uh Ingram tomorrow 243 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: because they weren't they weren't eligible to travel with the 244 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: team today because they're still in. That's as close as 245 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: you can get obviously. And here's the thing. The Ravens 246 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: complaints about this whole thing, Well, we can't do this 247 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: without having a practice. Well, Dobbins and Ingram's have then practice, 248 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: haven't been with the team in ten days. I'm sure 249 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: Brandon Williams in practice. I'll bet you they both get 250 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: carries in tomorrow's game. I bet they a major part 251 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: of the game, absolutely, without question. But it was all 252 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: about practice. We needed, we need to have a practice, 253 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: we need you know, we can't expect us to play 254 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 1: without having a practice. The whole things. And you're right, 255 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: the NFL is the one that's to blame. I mean, 256 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: they allowed the Ravens, the game, the system. Yeah, you 257 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: spygating things like that. People try to get a competitive 258 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: advantage anyway they can, But if you allow it to happen, 259 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: that's really shame on. Yeah, that's a crime because you 260 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: can see it coming. It's not like, boy, they pulled 261 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: one over, like you know what they're doing, right, Isn't 262 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: that sneaky? Yeah?

Redn't thought about that angleing 267 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: enough until today. Yeah, so we'll see. I mean, they 268 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: got to get through it. They've gotten through a lot 269 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: of other stuff here, but this is just another bump 270 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: in the road for the Steelers. Yeah, we'll take a break. 271 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this. Your tunes about Drive 272 00:14:48,040 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio, Welcome back. 273 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm the d L all do with Matt Williamson and 274 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: Matt get a little bit of breaking news here there. 275 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: The Ravens have activated. We talked, we talked about this. 276 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: I can yeah, okay, I'm working. But okay, so here's 277 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: what we know about their lives. Okay, I'm gonna get 278 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: their line up here now. Okay, So Robert Griffin will 279 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: be at quarterback fair enough, Okay, it's gonna be well. 280 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I would assume since J. K. Dobbins and 281 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: mark Ingram will be activated off of the COVID nineteen 282 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: list tomorrow that Bow will play in some former fashion 283 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: against the Steelers with marketing and so they'll are with 284 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: Gus Edwards, so they'll have their rotation of guys. Yeah, 285 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: it's not like they've had a lot of practice and 286 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: Edwards has been carrying all the load anyway. So I 287 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: think they treated like a normal week, like they never 288 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: missed any of them. Yeah, which they didn't. Reality they 289 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: didn't even though they had COVID. Okay, Uh, with the 290 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: with Willie Snead out, Willie Steve won't be in that 291 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: he won't Okay, So it's gonna be Marquis Brown, h 292 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: Devin de Rene, dez Bryant. Yeah, that's how desperate they 293 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: are for a run. Miles Boyk and they the wide 294 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: receiver group is awful. It's I like the three youngsters 295 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: in a vacuum. I mean, not altogether is being counted 296 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: on to be collectively. They're all the same kind of 297 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: they're all fast, and they all are good combine guys, 298 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: but they're not established NFL players. They might all have 299 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: write futures, but right now they're not reliable. This is 300 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: where the Steelers really have a huge advantage in this game. 301 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: Nick Boyle's on I R Move blocker Mark Andrews is 302 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: out for this game. He will not play. He's their 303 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: leading receiver, the other tight end, so they don't have enough. 304 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: They don't currently have another tight end on their roster. 305 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to activate a tight end to play 306 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: in this game. Tight End is a huge part of 307 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: the way they play offense with all their I think 308 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: Luke Willison's on the roster, but he was questionable to 309 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: play in this game, and he's he's just a guy. Yeah, right, 310 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: but I mean, I guess you'll play. I mean, but 311 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about in terms of the playball. He's neither. 312 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: He's neither Nick Boyle as a blocker or Mark Andrews 313 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: is a receiver. He's worse than all of them at everything. Yeah, 314 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, right, I mean he's a backup, backup, he's 315 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: a special teams guy, right, exactly. He's been bounced around 316 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: the league quite a bit, you know about Luke Wilson 317 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: with two l's right, yes, yeah, will listen. Yeah, okay, 318 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: there's actually an eye in there. But yeah, okay, yeah, 319 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: fair enough. Yeah, he's just a guy. But that screws 320 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: up what they want to do, oh, absolutely, because they're 321 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: also going to be missing fullback Patrick Card, right, who's 322 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: not your typical fullback three sandy bound doing eighty whatever. 323 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: He is just a anvil hammer and all there's their 324 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: extra lineman that they bring in running. That's a good 325 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: way of painting it. He's really a six offensive lineman 326 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: who's five ten. Yeah, you know, it doesn't look like 327 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: a guard, you know, but really those guys, especially Boil 328 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: and Ricard, do such a good job with all their 329 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: blocking angles from not coming right at the line of scrimmage, 330 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: from motion from in the backfield, you know. I mean 331 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: they have a diverse running gag attack, but they need 332 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: those guys. I mean, they're very different. But it's almost 333 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: like Kiddle and use check for the Niners, like these 334 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: are instrumental pieces that that's what you've taken out of 335 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: this offense exactly exactly, and Andrews and Boyle combined to 336 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: be a Kiddle type guy. You know, it's it hurts 337 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: him in all phases. On the offensive line, it's uh, 338 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: Orlando Brown at left tackle, but he's a right tackle, 339 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: but he's actually a right tackle. Bradley Boseman is at 340 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: left guard. He'll be available, He's okay. You know it's 341 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: gonna be Tristan Cologne Castile making his first start at center. 342 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: And I know how you feel about young centers in general. 343 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: This is the third string center and with a new quarterback, 344 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: and how much you know, I know the snaps aren't 345 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: that big at deal quarterback center exchange, but how many 346 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: how many times has that dude in r G three 347 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: played together? And all the record putting I'm putting all 348 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: of al Or Hayward lining up on him every single play, 349 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: every single play. But I mean, in terms of change 350 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: in protections, who's the mic? You know, all that kind 351 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: of center stuff that needs done. I bet they screw 352 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: it up against the complex defense a lot to let 353 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: alone once the ball snapped and I'm gonna hand this 354 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: guy off the bozeman and here comes, you know, looping 355 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: t J. Watt, I need to pick up I'm putting. 356 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: I'm putting Dupre right over the center. You just drive 357 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: him right. You could do any of that stuff. Here's 358 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: the fun. I'm looking at their their ESPN depth chart. 359 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: On ESPN, they list Orlando Brown is both their left 360 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: tackle in their right back. He's a big guy. He 361 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: takes him a lot of them, but I don't think 362 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna handle both. Dude, he's quite that good. Uh. 363 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: Right now, they list Ben Powers is the right guard, 364 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: but Tyree Phillips is back. That's promising for them at least, 365 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: but he's questionable and he's coming off right now. And 366 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 1: then I guess you have Flucker available now at right tackle. 367 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: Is he back? Then? Yeah? He got he got activated. 368 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: Yes again, they got all these active. They've they've strung 369 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: this out long enough that they've gotten some of these 370 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: guys back. So he's yet another that would not have 371 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: played Thursday, probably Sunday, even tomorrow, yesterday. And Flucker is 372 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: a former first round pick from Bama. And you can 373 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: see why because he's jigunds and he has he's super 374 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: long arms. He probably weighs three sixty but he's bounced 375 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 1: around the league forever. He's neither one of the neither 376 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: one of their tackles move. Well, no, that's was about 377 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: to say. On his best day, he's a I U. 378 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 1: Potty type, gone type dude, you know, but he's not 379 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: an edge guy. He doesn't redirect. I mean, he's a 380 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: you know, a big body in motion, remains in motion 381 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: when he starts going left. He ain't coming back to 382 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: the pre and one have huge matchup advantages. Yeah, I mean, 383 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: they probably won't bull rush those guys, but they'll set 384 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: him up with moves and make him react, and you 385 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: know that's gonna be a problem. Yeah, they get the 386 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: they get the Ravens. In the passing situations, they're in trouble. Yeah, 387 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: without question. Offense, Yeah, needless to say. Defensively upfront, this 388 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: is where they're really hurting. Yeah, they're just thin. Huh Okay, 389 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: Derek Wolfe is there only veteran guy who's good, But 390 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: he's questionable for this. I didn't he's dealing with an injury. 391 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: Um because gehawd Ward as a depth guy, just a 392 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: Mattabouquet out promising rookie Calais Campbell out quality NFL players, 393 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: So it's really it's Wolf Justin Ellis and Brandon Williams 394 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: and Broderick Washington. His back Roderick Washington has appeared. He's 395 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: been only been active six games. Say, I'm not even 396 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: positively they get that that's their four man rotation up front. 397 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: And we mentioned this before, like when we thought, you know, 398 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: it seems like a hundred years ago when we thought 399 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,479 Speaker 1: this game was we played on Thanksgiving and we were 400 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: talking about Brandon Williams. It's like, well, he might play, 401 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: but then the Steelers go three wide. He's not gonna 402 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: be on the field anyway. Well now he is. Now 403 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: he has Now he is, and him and elis at 404 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: the same time. I mean, they're seven hundred pounds between 405 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: them and one of those guys, clay Is Campbell. Here's 406 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens only have twenty seven sacks this year. It's 407 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: a little number food. Yeah, um, they're missing guys who 408 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: have eleven of those sacks. Now they and their sacks 409 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: are all spread out across their roster. Yeah, they don't 410 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,239 Speaker 1: have because they do a lot of different you know, 411 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: But no Jude On who has who leads them with 412 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: four sacks? No Campbell who's tied for the for their 413 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: team lead with four sacks. Those are their two pass 414 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: rush guys. Yeah and well now they haven't done Dockway too, 415 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: but he hasn't done anything since he got one sex 416 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean he hasn't had to play in 417 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: four games he's got one sack. I'm sure our audience 418 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: is familiar with Jude on but they franchised him just 419 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: like the Sealers did Dupris Like, I mean, that's the 420 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: tier that they think he's on. I mean, he was 421 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: there only pass rush or a year ago, which is 422 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: why they traded for Dockway and Campbell. And these guys 423 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: were telling here's their leaders and quarterback hits. Jude almost 424 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: seventeen Pernell McPhee who's not available in this within this 425 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: game with eleven, and Campbell with ten, and mcfee's a 426 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: dangerous guy. He just had a lot of injuries in 427 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: his career and can't play a lot of snaps. But 428 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: they could kill for him, right. No, I mean that's 429 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: that's thirty eight out of the quarterback hits, just out 430 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: of those three guys that are missing. If we call 431 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: all those guys in this Lumpoman is d Lineman that 432 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: we just mentioned. It sounds like they have six or 433 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: seven as opposed to ten or eleven you know that 434 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: they would like to play with, including some of their 435 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: best dudes. Um well, you gotta think they're gonna be 436 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: shot in the fourth quarter, that's the thing. I mean, 437 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, might start well the secondary and the linebackers 438 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: like Queen is available, l J. Fort's available, everybody in 439 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: their second day is available, and that's a good back seven, 440 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: you know. But they're not gonna get a pass rush. 441 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: Don't pass rush now, and I mean they'll die. They'll 442 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: they'll scheme some things up where they blitz it up, 443 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: But then you leave yourself open on the back end 444 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: potential out so quick too. I'm not sure blitzing the 445 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: Steelers is the right move, you know, on your best day, 446 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: even with healthy but you've got to get some kind 447 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: of Roelisberger has already seen it. And he's already seen 448 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,719 Speaker 1: it too. Yeah. I mean, as I was sitting there 449 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: thinking about that, it was like, Okay, Steeler fans, if 450 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: if this game's zero zero or seven three, or you're 451 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: losing ten nothing at the after twenty minutes of play, 452 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: be patient because I bet the fourth quarter is not 453 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens friend, you wouldn't think. You wouldn't think just 454 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, because they're not gonna they're 455 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to power run the football like 456 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: they want to. They're gonna to scheme it up completely 457 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: different the way than the way they typically do. See, 458 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: just think about this real quick, like who's your best eleven? 459 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: If you're the Ravens on offense, you know, like if 460 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: you had Stanley, maybe you'd say, well, we'll throw Flucor out, 461 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: there's our sixth linemen and do something with that. Or 462 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: if you'd Snead, you'd say, well, maybe we'll try to 463 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: go four wide, or if you're one more tight end, 464 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: we'll put out an extra tight end, you know, to 465 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: make up for our issues. All those positions are missing 466 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: that guy you're missing across the board. Your receivers stink. Yeah, right, 467 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: they're not bad coverage beaters at all. I don't know 468 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: what the answer is. And since two thousand fourteen is 469 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: a sixty seven passer rating, right, I bet they try 470 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: to run it like crazy. I'm sure they will try 471 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: to get out of this without you know, see if 472 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: it I mean they did run the ball effectively the 473 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: last time against the sixty five yards. But again that 474 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: was with Boile and that was with that was with Ricard, 475 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: And yeah, Lamar is a threat, um like, and we've 476 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: talked about this and not a lot too, And I 477 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 1: really like how the Steelers do it where at the 478 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: mesh point they're gonna blast Mar. Okay, you pitched it 479 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: to the back or you give it the hand of 480 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: the back, And this one I'm not. I don't care 481 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: what they did. They did do it last year with 482 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: r but I feel like the only position group that 483 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: can beat you is the backs that I might played 484 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: a little more straight up and I don't need to 485 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: send a message. And I don't care the Robert Griffins 486 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: on the field. I don't need to put an extra 487 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: hit on him. It's not like he's the league envy 488 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: p you know, like I'm keying on Dobbins if he's 489 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: out there, I'm keying on the Ingram if he's out there. 490 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: More than they're probably right, that's probably the way they 491 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: lean because the Ravens, I mean again, gouged them on 492 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: the on the ground the last time out because they 493 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: were essentially the Steelers were essentially playing uh nine on 494 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: them ten Yeah, exactly, exactly defensively because they had Dupree 495 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: and what do nothing but hit Lamar Jackson And that's 496 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: a bind that Lamar puts you in, right, and you 497 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: get ten blockers instead of nine in your run game 498 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: plus to that point it makes it even worse. But 499 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: this week, you don't want the Backs to run for 500 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty. No, that's you. That's the only way 501 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: that the Ravens can stay in this thing, because again, 502 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: I just don't think Griffin is a passer with those receivers. 503 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: That's not gonna that's not gonna beat you. I would 504 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: also think that you throw to the Backs more than 505 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: you did with Lamar, which I mean, I'm just trying 506 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: to think, how if I'm horrible, how can I generate 507 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: any kind of offense? I mean, you'll do the end 508 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: of rounds in the jet sweeps with Duburn at and 509 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, but and that time it takes you 510 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: so far though, you know, what's the what's the game plan? 511 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 1: I mean, no matter what you're Steelers are better cards 512 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: in their hand than Baltimore by far. But who, I 513 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: don't know what you what? What's up your sleeve. How 514 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: about the weather, Um, it's supposed to be I mean, 515 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: there's the snow is supposed to be done, but it's 516 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: still gonna be in the thirties tomorrow. It's still gonna 517 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: be wet. I would imagine it's still somewhat of a 518 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: soggy track. Usually, I would think that hurts the Ravens. 519 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: I mean, they're built for speed there. I mean, I 520 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: think the Steelers defense is obviously very fast, but I 521 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: would say the Ravens are a faster than the Steelers 522 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: top to bottom. But everybody's healthy, especially because of the quarterback. 523 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: But I don't know, I mean, yeah, I mean something 524 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: to talk about. I mean, if you lose your footing 525 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: or something like that. But that's that's a veteran football 526 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: team that's dealt with wind and rain and snow and 527 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 1: knows the field really well and the stadium and your 528 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: quarterback's done it in his sleep. Yeah. I just I mean, 529 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: I just look at no matter what they get back, 530 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: they're still gonna be missing too much, too much in 531 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: the depth overall. To me, they may come to play 532 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: and be super energetic and have a really good first quarter, 533 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: and back in the day they used to jump up 534 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: on people super quick. But this isn't the same team. 535 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: I just don't know that they can be a sixty 536 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: minute team. I just don't know that. The Griffins just 537 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: not gonna do enough. To me. I think that's the 538 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: major thing that he he stinks. Yeah, I mean, he's 539 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: not gonna He's gonna have to have it. He's a 540 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: fifty passer and that's that's who he is when things 541 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: are good. That receiver groups not gonna do him any 542 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 1: any favors, and protection is not going to do him 543 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: any favors. I mean, I just don't I don't know 544 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: how this this is. He gonna run even as well 545 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: as Josh Allen does, probably not what he used to be, 546 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: and he's not gonna break tackles, but he still want 547 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: I think he still wants to play that way though. 548 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: I I watched them. He came in late against Washington 549 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: earlier this year, and I watched that game and they 550 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: had him. He was one of two passing. He tried 551 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: to pass down the field. If you remember that game, 552 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: it was I think it was a rainstorm. Um, he 553 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: came in late, he chucked one down the field that 554 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: just it was just a terrible throw late in the game. 555 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,959 Speaker 1: You know you're winning the football game, Why are you 556 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: making that throw? Um? Speaking of which, I'm not sure 557 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: how much precipitation will get or what the ball will 558 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: be like, but it will probably get muddy and heavier 559 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: as the game goes on, just hitting the ground and whatnot. 560 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: And there's probably some precipitation in the air. I don't 561 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: know this, but I bet he doesn't handle a wet ball. Well, 562 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: probably ball. Well, I mean, he's he's a Texas guy. 563 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: You know, he's not a power thrower. He's a lean 564 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: athletic type, you know, sprinter type. He's not going to 565 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: power the ball or he's not gonna control the football 566 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: particularly well if it's not ideal. Yeah. One of my predictions, 567 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: one of my five years or three guarantees for tomorrow's game. 568 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: I sent those Tim Ben's earlier today. UH is the 569 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: Steelers Uh sacks plus interceptions over five. It's a big number. 570 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: It's a big number, but I think it's well, they're 571 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: the best in the league at it. Yeah, to begin with, 572 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: and Boyd sets up well yeah, I mean it's just 573 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: everything sets up well for that. We're gonna take another 574 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: break when we come back, we'll talk a little more 575 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: about well, hey, we're this is a Tuesday, even though 576 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like it. There's basically an entire week 577 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: of NFL action now in the books except yesterday. So 578 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: let's talk about Yeah, let's talk about everything that happened 579 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: over the weekend. We'll do that when we return right 580 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: after this your tunes about drive on your home of 581 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I'm 582 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: Dale Ally here with Matt Williamson and Matt Uh. We're 583 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: heading into well, we can still have to finish up 584 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: week week is this I don't even know now twelve 585 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: week twelve, we still gonna finish up week twelve. But 586 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: as we sit here, uh, the Steelers are atop the 587 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: a f C with a tennano record. Uh, Kansas City 588 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: second at ten and one. That things start to get 589 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: interesting because you get the Titans now at eight and three, 590 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: you got the Bills at eight and three, You've got 591 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: the Browns at eight and three. But they haven't beaten anybody. 592 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: But they're the five seeds right now, and they don't 593 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: have a whole lot of challenges ahead of them. They're 594 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: gonna get smoked into play They're gonna either play Tennessee 595 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: or Buffalo in the first round of the playoffs and 596 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: gets run off the field. I think you're right neither. 597 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,719 Speaker 1: You're right in their building. Not that matters that much anymore. 598 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, there again, they've been to sixteen in losses 599 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: to the Steelers, Ravens, and Raiders. Yeah. You know, like 600 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: six weeks ago we just said the five seeds probably 601 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: the Ravens are Steelers look out, you know, like I 602 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: don't know the Ravens. I mean, Cleveland does have to 603 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: play Tennessee this week? Is that this week? I believe 604 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: it is this week. So yeah, they're gonna get They're 605 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: gonna get smoke, right, but they're still gonna win ten games, 606 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: maybe eleven at eight. I mean they're gonna win double 607 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: digit games. Uh, well, they they still have games against 608 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens, Steelers in this game against Buffalo or a 609 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: game against Tennessee. I should stay that's ten and six possibly, 610 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: so yeah, but maybe the Steelers. Well, the way things 611 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: look now, the Steelers may need dead game because Kansas 612 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: City keeps winning, right, and then you have to figure 613 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: out all the tiebreakers and all that too. If imagine 614 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: go fifteen and one. You don't get the number one. 615 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: See that's not I mean that has ability even fourteen 616 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: and two. You're pretty darn to shore. I mean I 617 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: wrote that story last week and it seems like a 618 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: month ago. Now. Um, then he got Miami at seven 619 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: and four. You've got Indianapolis at seven and four, a 620 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: big loss the Colts, oh huge, huge, And you got 621 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: the Ravens sitting there at six and four, the Raiders 622 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: at six and five in New England at five and six. 623 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: We can put them back in that conversation because they're 624 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: but they really are, probably unless the Raiders implode like 625 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: they did. I mean I know that they don't trust that. Yeah, 626 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: I don't trust them at all. But so what that's 627 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: so your top seven right now? Our Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Tennessee, Buffalo, Cleveland, Miami, Indianapolis. 628 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 1: So right now, if that's why the Ravens are so 629 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: adamant about trying to get this game moved, they have 630 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: a tiebreaker over Innannapolis. They would have a tiebreaker over 631 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: Cleveland right now too, based on based on beating confident 632 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: about um. But if they lose this game, they are 633 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 1: six and five, they're a game behind the Colts probably 634 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, but they lost head to head to the Patriots. 635 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 1: To the Colts schedule the rest of the way. Uh, 636 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,720 Speaker 1: they get the Texans this week, which got a little 637 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: easier yesterday with Will fool and Roby. Uh that's yeah, 638 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: that's our best corner and our best receiver. But they're right, oh, 639 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: by the way. The Monday, the Texans cut Kenny Stills 640 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: like they had they had no idea this Will Fuller 641 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: thing was gonna happen. And they still a favor saying, hey, 642 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: you're not gonna resign, you go find a team. Thanks 643 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: for your yeah, you know. But then later in the 644 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: day their tougher seat, like they could use Kenny Stills 645 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: right now down to Kiki qt uh. Then they play 646 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: the Raiders. The Colts play the Raiders in Oakland. Okay, 647 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to think of the Raiders. I mean, 648 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: I have to think what they did against Atlanta was 649 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: an anomaly because they just shot themselves in the foot 650 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: time and time again. They were playing much better than 651 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,919 Speaker 1: that before. I think that's probably. I think they still 652 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,439 Speaker 1: have a chance to make noise in the playoffs, even 653 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 1: if they get in. Then the Colts play the Texans. Again, 654 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: Texas are playing a lot I wouldn't worry about much, 655 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: and they come to Pittsburgh, they finish up against Jacksonville. Wow, 656 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: that's a tough slate, though they could. I mean, it's 657 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: not easy the Raiders games to swing game they need 658 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: to win. That's gonna be. The winner of that game 659 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 1: makes the playoffs. Yeah, I mean they could beat the Steelers. 660 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,720 Speaker 1: I don't know about that here. I mean, I don't 661 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: think the Steer I don't think. I'm not going to 662 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 1: pick them to beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh. Probably not, 663 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 1: but they could. They could. Yeah, but um, but that 664 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: game against the Raiders is huge. They need to win 665 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: that game to get the TED and the Raiders absolutely 666 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: need it. Yeah, that might be an elimination type game, 667 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: you're right, Um yeah, Miami sitting there now, it's seven 668 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: and four. It looks like Fits is now really the starter. 669 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: Like TWA was inactive last week and they've been saying 670 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: this hand thing and I'm sure there's something going on there. 671 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: But you're in the playoff race. You're gonna play the 672 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: better player right now. Here's what Miami's got left Bengals 673 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 1: this week. That's a win yes. Then they play the Chiefs, 674 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: not the problem. Then they play the Patriots at home. 675 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: That's an elimination game for the Patriots. That's a winnable 676 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: game for them. Then they play the Raiders Inland or 677 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. I should say this is setting up 678 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: for the Raiders to kind of control their own destiny. 679 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: That they do knock off the Bolts, they can knock 680 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: off Miami, and Miami finishes up at Buffalo but won. 681 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: But the Bills may not need the game because the 682 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: Bills aren't gonna get to be the two seed. They're 683 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: not gonna be the one. Yeah, they're not getting a bye. 684 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna win their division. Yeah. I guess it could 685 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: come down to them or Tennessee for three verses four. 686 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: I don't know that's gonna arrest them anyways, probably right, 687 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna matter enough. Um yeah, I bet they 688 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: said those guys seventeen. Yeah. Cleveland's remaining scheduled is the 689 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: Titans this week. Their schedule is really actually pretty tough. 690 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 1: Easy at the Titans. I think they could be bad 691 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,399 Speaker 1: Ravens at home. I don't think the Ravens in that game. 692 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,919 Speaker 1: Lamars will be there right at the Giants. That's no gimme. 693 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: It's no gimme. Dania Jones will be Then they get 694 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: a gimme against the Jets again in New York, and 695 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: they finish up at home against the Steelers, which who 696 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: knows what the Steelers will throw at them at that point, 697 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,879 Speaker 1: But that's to win three wins. If they get to ten, 698 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: that's that's yeah. Um, probably gets you in. Probably probably. Yeah. 699 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 1: What's Tennessee's remaining schedule. I think they're starting to play well, 700 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure they're out of the woods for 701 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: winning the division. I feel like Tennessee is almost guaranteed 702 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: a playoffs Browns at home at Jaguars, Lions at home 703 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: at Packers, and at Texas. That's like three or four 704 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: more wins to me, Yeah, I think, which gets into 705 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: twelve and four in the three seed probably yeah, or 706 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: the four. But the three verse four doesn't matter hardly 707 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: at all this year. Not really. Um really, two verses 708 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: versus I mean two just means you get a second 709 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: home playoff game. That's really the only thing to me. 710 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 1: If you play Tennessee or Buffaloes in your building, which 711 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: means so much less than it used to. But I mean, right, 712 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 1: if I had to, you know, and you look at 713 00:38:55,400 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: the Buffalo's remaining schedule, it's at the Forts. They could 714 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: lose that game. Yeah, oh they absolutely good. Uh, Steelers 715 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,759 Speaker 1: at home, they could lose that game at Broncos. You 716 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: could always lose in Denver, but they're in a bad place. 717 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be at Patriots. This isn't easy. And 718 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: then Dolphins at home. None of those are gimmes. Yeah, 719 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: those are all you know what I mean. So I 720 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 1: think they're gonna be They're gonna be the four seed. Yeah, 721 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,359 Speaker 1: they'll lose a couple, that's a good point, but realistically 722 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: they just need to get to ten. Two more does it? 723 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: Two more? Probably Miami in week seventeen. It's a it's 724 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: a wrap, I mean, yeah, point um, so, I mean II, 725 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: it's just where the Patriots have because they pretty much 726 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: have to run the table pretty much. It is their 727 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,799 Speaker 1: five and six remaining schedules. Nine gets you in at 728 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: Chargers at Rams. They're staying on the West coast for that. 729 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: They're playing the same stadium at Dolphins three straight row games. 730 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 1: So that's that's no, none of those are gimmes. Yeah, 731 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: they'll definitely find a way to beat the Chargers or 732 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: the charge will definitely find a way to lose. But 733 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: Bills at home, Jets at home, Well, they're not sweeping that. 734 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,719 Speaker 1: They're gonna win seven games. Seven games. I mean that's 735 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 1: what they are and said they are. I said at 736 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, if if Belichick wins eight 737 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,880 Speaker 1: with that, I'll be shocked. I'd be impressed. I'd be 738 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: very impressed. So it's gonna be. Yeah, they're basically it's 739 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: gonna be Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Tennessee, Buffalo, Cleveland, m are 740 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: your top five. The Colts probably get in. Did you 741 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 1: say the Ravens remaining schedule? The Ravens remaining schedule is 742 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 1: at Steelers, all right, Which that's gonna gonna lose this game. 743 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: I mean, just looking at it before, Yeah, that was 744 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: a game they needed to have, and well, the schedule 745 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: sets up nice. Then they get the Cowboys at home. Okay, 746 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,800 Speaker 1: short week, but who cares. Yeah at Brown's that's a 747 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 1: big one. That's a big one. Yeah, Jaguars at home, 748 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: Giants at home at Bengals. Wow, yeah, they mainly lose 749 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 1: one more. I mean, let's say they lose tomorrow. That 750 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,919 Speaker 1: gets them to how many laws gets them to five. 751 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,919 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win ten. They went ten or eleven. Um, 752 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,080 Speaker 1: that game against Cleveland is gonna be a huge one. 753 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,840 Speaker 1: The Browns need to show if you're gonna be a 754 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: playoff team, you have to beat somebody. They beat in 755 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: India Indianapolis earlier this year. But you gotta beat the Titans. 756 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 1: You gotta beat some one of these teams you have 757 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 1: to get. You have to get a win against one 758 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: of these teams, otherwise you're just your fraud. Right. But 759 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: if the Ravens beat the Browns, I mean the tiebreaker 760 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: over wh the tiebreaker over him, conceivably they could knock 761 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,319 Speaker 1: the Browns out of the playoffs because the Browns lose 762 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: the tiebreaker against the Raiders. If the Raiders are able 763 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: to get the ten and the Browns get to tend 764 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: the Raiders at the Raiders at the tiebreaker, wow, I 765 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: don't know how to predict it. Then, I mean, I 766 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,359 Speaker 1: think it's the top two seeds we know, and that's 767 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: not worked out yet. I think we pretty much know 768 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 1: the third and fourth seed. But Indie could catch Tennessee. 769 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,280 Speaker 1: I don't think they will. And then that other mess 770 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 1: seems like it's a four or five team race for 771 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: three spots, which is where it was four. But he's 772 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: starting to take shape here a little bit where I 773 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: kind of like where Baltimore sitting though after this week, 774 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 1: after they get through this. At the same time, they're 775 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: gonna be like the seven Sea. They're gonna go in 776 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 1: to Kansas City. If if Kansas City is the two seed, 777 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,640 Speaker 1: it could end up as the seventh seed and have 778 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: to go or you come here. But at the same time, 779 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: if you're the Steelers, that's what you do want. You'd 780 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: love to see You'd love to go beat up on 781 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 1: each other. You'd love one of those teams not to 782 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: see round two, absolutely right, Yeah, more so than Tennessee. 783 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 1: Although I think realistically Baltimore could play its way back 784 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: into that five or six, especially if they beat the 785 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 1: Browns and have a tiebreaker over them. Yeah, okay, so 786 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: who would you bet? I mean, if you'd put a 787 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: chip down who the seven teams are, who would be 788 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: your three wild cards? Colts get in somehow, I think 789 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: the Colts get in. I think the Browns get in. 790 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens get in. Yeah, Miami is not 791 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,880 Speaker 1: in a bad spot. Though they're not, they're very good. Yeah, 792 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,439 Speaker 1: I mean if again looking at that schedule, they're gonna 793 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: have to they get seven wins right now, play the 794 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,320 Speaker 1: Bengals this week, that's eight. Chiefs next week, gets a 795 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:13,800 Speaker 1: lost Patriots game that they win that one, that's nine. 796 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 1: Then they got at Raiders at Bills. They got to 797 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: win one of those two games. I don't think I'd 798 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: bet on either one of them right now. Yeah, so 799 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: they get to what unless the Bills don't need that game, Yeah, 800 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: that could be huge. It could be huge. Before you 801 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: I'd love to play the Dolphins in the playoffs. Absolutely 802 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: don't run the ball, like I mean, their defense is 803 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: hard to play against and all that, but they don't 804 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 1: really have a quarterback. And you know, yeah, like of 805 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,160 Speaker 1: all those teams, I'm even thinking from the Steelers again, 806 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: if we're saying that the Raiders, if we think the 807 00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: Raiders beat the Dolphins, that's seven for them. I don't know, 808 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 1: the nine wins gets you in wins. Nine is not 809 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: going to get it done. So if you look at 810 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,879 Speaker 1: what the Raiders have left, even a ten win team 811 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 1: might not get in. They get the Jets this week, 812 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,160 Speaker 1: they get this, they gets them to eight big. Then 813 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,959 Speaker 1: they play the Colts. Yeah that's at home. That means 814 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: more than you think. And they get the Chargers at home. 815 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,359 Speaker 1: Maybe we shouldn't just slam dunk the Colts. Let's say 816 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 1: let's say they beat the Jets, lose, the Colts, beat 817 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,439 Speaker 1: the Chargers, beat the Dolphins at home, then they play 818 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 1: the Broncos. Well, that gets them the tenor level tenor 819 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 1: eleven two? Right? Yeah? Yeah, I think a ten win 820 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,359 Speaker 1: team is gonna be hit sitting at home the way 821 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: it looks. Yeah, I mean there's a lot of them 822 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: play each other, but a lot of them play the 823 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: Bengals and Jets and Jags, and there's a lot of 824 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 1: gimmes on there of all those teams. Wow, But when 825 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: it comes when it comes down to is Baltimore if 826 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: if they lose this game, has no margin of air 827 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,359 Speaker 1: or left, they can't get into a four or three 828 00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: or four way tie at ten and six. But of 829 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: those teams, I could see them sweeping going out on 830 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 1: a five game winning streak. Yeah, you know, just because 831 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 1: I think they're wonder whe Lamar is gonna look like 832 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 1: they're coming back off of a layoff like this, and 833 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 1: no one ever talks about this, But is cove when 834 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: you have it, when you test positive, does that make 835 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:07,439 Speaker 1: you a better athlete? I bet not, bet not. I mean, 836 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 1: maybe I'm making excuses for Cam Newton, but he was 837 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: really bad for those two weeks right after And I 838 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 1: know you don't practice, that's obviously something to do with it. 839 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 1: But new team didn't practice. Yeah, you just don't know. 840 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,839 Speaker 1: But we're gonna take another break here he is Matt 841 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 1: Williamson's I'm interesting. No, absolutely, but I don't. We don't 842 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,319 Speaker 1: care about that much of matters. Um, we're gonna take 843 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: a break. When we come back, it's time for the 844 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Focus. It is Tuesday. That means it's waiver 845 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 1: wire time. Even though your game's in week twelve, still 846 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: going on. We'll give you some information on who to 847 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 1: pick up, what to do as you get rid of 848 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,840 Speaker 1: to head into the playoffs in your fantasy leagues. Right 849 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: after this, he's The Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt 850 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 1: Williamson on your home of the Black and Goals Steelers 851 00:45:54,840 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 1: Nation Radio. Welcome back. I'm Dale. I'll eat here with 852 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 1: Matt Williamson and the conversations that take place. Yeah, I'm 853 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: glad that we had the bike's on, but yeah, it's 854 00:46:54,560 --> 00:47:01,360 Speaker 1: probably a good thing. They're pretty funny. Um, So it's Tuesday, 855 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: typically all the games should be played, but of course 856 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: the Steelers we do, and we should go position by 857 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,799 Speaker 1: position too. I'm not sure. We don't even know at 858 00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 1: this point Friday for us. But it's Tuesday, so that 859 00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 1: means it's waiver wire time in the fantasy world, which 860 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 1: is a tough one because you don't know. Look, let's 861 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 1: say you've got I don't know. Let's say you've got 862 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,720 Speaker 1: one of the Ravens running back, so you got James Conner, 863 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 1: you pick up Gus Edwards or well you don't. I mean, 864 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 1: what if you got Juju and he gets hurt tomorrow 865 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: after your waiver, right, doesn't happen like it's going to 866 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,839 Speaker 1: affect the fantasy world tonight row night? Right, what if 867 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 1: it's a two quarterback league and you want you find 868 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 1: out Lamar's offer whatever. There's all kinds of yeah, all 869 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff that could happen here. Um. Yeah, so 870 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 1: it's weird to have your waivers before the previous week 871 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,879 Speaker 1: is done, done right, and nobody thought about fantasy and 872 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 1: care about that this year. But right um. Anyway, So 873 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,879 Speaker 1: if you're looking at pickups at the quarterback position this week, 874 00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:08,279 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick was probably released in your league a few 875 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,320 Speaker 1: weeks ago. He puts the fantasy points every time he 876 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 1: crossed abolutely. The only thing is could he get bench 877 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: for two? I don't think in game. Yeah, I don't 878 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,600 Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. He's gonna finish, right. You know, 879 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 1: they may change their mind when then, you know, and 880 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,600 Speaker 1: make two of the starter, but you'll know that and 881 00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,279 Speaker 1: he could get hurt. But that's as everybody. But he 882 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 1: threw to fifty seven and two touchdowns last week and 883 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 1: much in the way of weapons. They still puts up 884 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,960 Speaker 1: numbers every week. He just he just wings it, Yeah 885 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 1: he does. And there he's roster of leagues that whatever 886 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,399 Speaker 1: fab money you have left at this point, if you're 887 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: if you're living on Carson Wentz or and injured Daniel 888 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 1: Jones or Breeze or yeah you got he's a guy. Yeah, yeah, 889 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 1: he's better than anything else you're gonna pick up. Cousins 890 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,359 Speaker 1: is still only roster league. He's real too. He's looked well, 891 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,520 Speaker 1: he's played well even without feeling they throw deep and 892 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,120 Speaker 1: he's been efficient. He'll dump at the cook and he'll 893 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 1: take a seventy you know Cousins an NFL quarterback, he'd 894 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,439 Speaker 1: be worse than it was. Thirty five or forty five 895 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,680 Speaker 1: for three seven yards and three touchdowns in that game 896 00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,520 Speaker 1: against Carolina without THEE. I mean, that's really here. That's 897 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 1: that's efficient. That's efficient. Yeah, he's a good player and 898 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 1: good for fantasy. Here's what I don't agree with Baker 899 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,839 Speaker 1: Mayfield's roster than thirty PC in the leagues. I'd rather 900 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,439 Speaker 1: have either one of those other two guys in him. Yes, yeah, 901 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,560 Speaker 1: I'd rather have this next guy as opposed to him, 902 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is roster than thirty. I'd rather have Rivers 903 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: in Mayfield. Yes, Rivers is very up and down. That's 904 00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 1: more of a real note than a fantasy note. But 905 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,320 Speaker 1: when they trust him to throw the football, they trust 906 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 1: both throw the football. He was cold against the Tennessee 907 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,439 Speaker 1: and they lost. Yeah, they kind of go as he goes, 908 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to say. And teams that rushed 909 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 1: the pass are well give Rivers problems. So as you 910 00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,480 Speaker 1: can imagine, he just said that they could get the 911 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 1: Steelers a chance to beat them. The chance I mean, 912 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,160 Speaker 1: teams are rushed pastor well give rivers problems, but I 913 00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 1: just don't think the Steers. I don't either. Somebody's that 914 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 1: get Yeah. Um, other streaming options this week we can 915 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:08,240 Speaker 1: include Derek Carr. He still Yeah, he's played Jet points 916 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,799 Speaker 1: really bad. Really, their whole team, their whole offense was awful. 917 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,080 Speaker 1: I've never seen a quarterback end with negative points. They 918 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 1: play the Jets this week. Ran bounced back in a 919 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 1: big way. Yeah, he's had a great year. What you 920 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: think about Mitch Robinski against the Lions not the worst 921 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 1: thing ever. He'll run, bill run. He can't complete passes though, Yeah, 922 00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,000 Speaker 1: he's just bad. He at least throws Allen Robinson more 923 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,960 Speaker 1: than Folds does, which ends up in catches. Yeah. I 924 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,319 Speaker 1: mean he's probably the twentie quarterback this week, which isn't 925 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 1: the worst thing, but you know, yeah, if you I mean, 926 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,320 Speaker 1: if you've got issues, you could do worse at the 927 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 1: running back position. Josh Jacobs is legitimately hurt. Yeah, legitimately hurt. Yeah. 928 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: I would DeVante Bookers, Russ and percent of leaks and 929 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 1: he looks much better as a raider. Yeah, so yeah, 930 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,799 Speaker 1: he's a starter this They have a good offensive line right, 931 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 1: he catches the ball a lot. They're playing the Jets. 932 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he could be your top waiver wire pickup 933 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,400 Speaker 1: this week, if it might only be one week, or 934 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 1: especially if you're a Jacob's owner. It's great insurance for 935 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,399 Speaker 1: those the home stretch. Jacob's hurt a lot, Jacob's runs hard. 936 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's Tuesday, who knows. But if I'm the Raiders, 937 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm sitting Jacobs and I'm giving Bookers the ball a lot. 938 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,600 Speaker 1: We've talked about this guy a lot, and he kind 939 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,480 Speaker 1: of went off last week. They're going to really run heavy. 940 00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 1: That would be Lottavious Murray. He's rouster in of leagues, 941 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,839 Speaker 1: twenty three yards on nineteen carries and two touchdowns. Last week. 942 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 1: I guarantee nobody had him in their starting lineup. But 943 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 1: with the way that there, they can't throw the football. 944 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 1: They can't throw the football, and they're not going to 945 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,160 Speaker 1: give the ball to Alvin Camara twenty times. No, we 946 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,840 Speaker 1: know that, Like I don't know how to interpret that 947 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,840 Speaker 1: for fantasy, because Taysom Hill really hurts Kamara. Yeah, you 948 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 1: know they don't. They don't dump it to him ten times, 949 00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,600 Speaker 1: and none of that move put him in motion and 950 00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: split him out wide, get him online acker all the 951 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 1: stuff Breeze does pre snap and he's not accurate the passer. 952 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,200 Speaker 1: But they don't play a quarterback list team very often, 953 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, Like I'm sure Peyton said, Alvin, this is 954 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 1: a good time for you to chill a little bit. 955 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 1: Let the big dude just feed him and taste him. 956 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,240 Speaker 1: Will run all over these guys the last two weeks. 957 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 1: Two weeks ago and he'll's first start against was Falcons, 958 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,320 Speaker 1: Murray had fourteen touches. He had twenty touches this week. 959 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,520 Speaker 1: That's it's gonna be somewhere in that range because again, 960 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 1: Kamara is not gonna get twenty carries. They're just not 961 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,600 Speaker 1: gonna do that sent the time or anything. So I 962 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 1: mean he's gonna get it's worse. He's a flexor. Yeah, 963 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 1: and in a good matchup. You know, he's ries twenty 964 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,320 Speaker 1: three years and two touchdowns. If he and Kamara gutart 965 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,680 Speaker 1: or sits out or something and you win that playoff game, 966 00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 1: you know, in fantasy, I mean, that's how they want 967 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,040 Speaker 1: to play right now until until Breeze gets back. Real 968 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,480 Speaker 1: quick note on fantasy, Like you know how they always 969 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 1: like USP and I'll tell you, these are the players 970 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,640 Speaker 1: that most Super Bowl teams had the most of stock 971 00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,919 Speaker 1: this year, and like last year, McCaffrey was one, Lamar 972 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 1: was one. You know, House was like top the list, 973 00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,360 Speaker 1: Rashad Perryman because somebody picked them up this time of 974 00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 1: year and he had a huge last month of the season. Crazy. Yeah, 975 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 1: you gotta think about those guys like these. Tyler Higbee, right, 976 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 1: he was like the one of the guys too, Like 977 00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 1: you pick him up this time of year, some running 978 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,919 Speaker 1: back that has no carries like DeVante Booker and has 979 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: a huge December and you when you you walk away 980 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,319 Speaker 1: with the money. Yeah, that's how that's kind of my 981 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 1: fantasy is a little dumb. But that's also so you 982 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,600 Speaker 1: know what. The way this always works is the teams 983 00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,720 Speaker 1: that start slowly, they go like start one in three 984 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,359 Speaker 1: or oh and four and they have the top they 985 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 1: had the top waiver priority pick. If you do it, 986 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 1: if you do it with one of those type, you're 987 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:54,320 Speaker 1: one of those things always have an advantage always because 988 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 1: they get first waiver pick up for like the first 989 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,840 Speaker 1: month of the season when when especially this year, and 990 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 1: the thing is if you're like the sixth best team 991 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 1: in the twelve team league, you never have that right. 992 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: You're never you're not winning, and you never get the 993 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 1: top pick up, and it's hard to improve your team. 994 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:13,200 Speaker 1: It really is, right, Gus Edwards still only roster of leagues. 995 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 1: I don't play him this week, but you can't pick 996 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,760 Speaker 1: him up to play him in week twelve. It's there now. 997 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 1: Benny Snell, on the other hand, James James Conner went 998 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 1: on the COVID list on Saturday. Okay, So the Steelers 999 00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:38,200 Speaker 1: play next Monday, uh Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 1000 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 1: Monday would be the first day that contribute. Snell is 1001 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,880 Speaker 1: gonna You're gonna get two games worth a playing time 1002 00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 1: at a Snell. They're not going to start Connor if 1003 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 1: he hasn't played a SAP probably not Washington, probably not. 1004 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 1: So you're gonna get a couple of weeks out of 1005 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,719 Speaker 1: Snelly's roster of leagues. We even talked about this much. 1006 00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,400 Speaker 1: I would love to see more McFarlane. Well, you're going to, 1007 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: I think Bill in this game. You're gonna have to 1008 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,920 Speaker 1: because Jaylen Samuels is out right. Do you think it 1009 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:11,000 Speaker 1: could be a fifty fifty Snell. McFarland maybe for Washington 1010 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 1: is a better question. Probably probably not in this game. 1011 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,840 Speaker 1: I think it's at this point. Uh, Snell probably gets 1012 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,919 Speaker 1: seventy of the of the workload in these two games 1013 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:23,759 Speaker 1: because you need to win them first. And then if 1014 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 1: McFarland shows you something against the Ravens, and maybe you 1015 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,239 Speaker 1: bump that up a little bit. But Snow could be 1016 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:33,080 Speaker 1: that guy too that has what if Connor? Yeah, first 1017 00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 1: he has COVID, then he hurts the year, pulls a 1018 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,480 Speaker 1: hamstring or you know, thinks any running back can, but 1019 00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 1: he has more of a history than most. And if 1020 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 1: they don't rush him back, and you know, and Snow 1021 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,160 Speaker 1: becomes a guy in the steal offense, unless we forget 1022 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:50,239 Speaker 1: in week one Connor got hurt in the first quarter 1023 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,719 Speaker 1: of that game against the Giants. Snow went nineteen times 1024 00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:57,239 Speaker 1: for thirteen yards. And he's certainly capable. No, it's not 1025 00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:02,160 Speaker 1: flashy and Statue and Gus Edwards are basically the same guy. Yeah, 1026 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,719 Speaker 1: they really are. I'd rather play so Now on this 1027 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,319 Speaker 1: game than Edwards. Yeah, although that decision has already been 1028 00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,600 Speaker 1: made because it's last week. This week is last week. 1029 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,919 Speaker 1: Um Cam acres looks like a little juice this week? 1030 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 1: Are you buying it? He's only owned the twenties, his 1031 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,400 Speaker 1: ownership is down. I want him on my bench at 1032 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,120 Speaker 1: least in case it happens. You and I have been 1033 00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,120 Speaker 1: on that a lot. But sixty eight four yards in 1034 00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,880 Speaker 1: a touchdown and he only had nine carries. Though it's 1035 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,239 Speaker 1: it's some point. I mean, they have to look at 1036 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 1: this and go, Okay, why are we messing around with 1037 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,680 Speaker 1: these these other guys. See what the kids got. I'm 1038 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 1: gonna draft them high next year. Yeah, you know what 1039 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 1: I mean as well? And if if it works out, 1040 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,520 Speaker 1: it works out. But he'd love that on your bench 1041 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,439 Speaker 1: right now. Absolutely, he could be that guy. He could 1042 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,839 Speaker 1: be that lead win. I like him better than any 1043 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,360 Speaker 1: the guys we brought up for that reason. This is 1044 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 1: the guy we talked about as a cudible guy last week. 1045 00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,879 Speaker 1: James White's ownerships down to sixty two. He scored twice 1046 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 1: on the ground on five. He took over the Rex 1047 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,200 Speaker 1: birkehead role. For God's sakes, Well, he's what he used 1048 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,879 Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, I mean, I know Michelle's there, but 1049 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:11,480 Speaker 1: Michelle is terrible. He had Michelle had one carry last week, 1050 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:16,280 Speaker 1: Harris's Corey Dillon or Harris's went Ridley and White does marine. 1051 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,720 Speaker 1: You know, they always they have a big, heavy guy 1052 00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,280 Speaker 1: and they gotta pass Checker, Cascher, Catcher, and White has 1053 00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 1: always been that guy and now he is again. And 1054 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 1: here's the thing with Cam Newton. When they get down 1055 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 1: inside the five, Ye, he's gonna score touchdowns. They're gonna 1056 00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,920 Speaker 1: go to a spread a lot of times, and Cam's 1057 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,560 Speaker 1: either gonna hand he's gonna do any red option. He's 1058 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 1: either going to hand it off to White or he's 1059 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,120 Speaker 1: gonna keep it and run. Harris doesn't get touched, Harris 1060 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 1: doesn't get to touchdown. He does. James White gets two 1061 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 1: touchdowns on five carries and he may end up with 1062 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,000 Speaker 1: five six, seven catches going forward to know he's not 1063 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 1: droppable anymore. No, it's it's black, black, black block. It's 1064 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 1: hard to start him though, I agree. I agree the 1065 00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:01,960 Speaker 1: wide receiver position. How about this one, Deebo, Samuel's only 1066 00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,800 Speaker 1: rosser and fifty six percent of leagues not for long. No, 1067 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,960 Speaker 1: he we do this next week. Yeah, absolutely, Although I 1068 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,640 Speaker 1: think is coming back to that, I don't think that 1069 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 1: that matters. Yeah, I think he's the guy Curtis Samuel's 1070 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,600 Speaker 1: and Rosserent League. We've talked about it in here. Yeah, 1071 00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:22,280 Speaker 1: he needs to be picked up. Yeah right, Um, definitely, No, 1072 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,600 Speaker 1: he gets the ball every week. Michael Pittman. We've talked 1073 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,080 Speaker 1: about these guys a lot. Michael Pittman, Corey Davis, Alan 1074 00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,560 Speaker 1: Lazard all owned in lesson fifty eight percent of the leagues. 1075 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,560 Speaker 1: What are you people doing out there? Why does he 1076 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,920 Speaker 1: with threes? Absolutely, these guys should be really these are 1077 00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 1: these are league winners? Yeah, yeah, I mean they're all 1078 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,600 Speaker 1: are doing well. Um, we talked about him last week. 1079 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 1: There's your guy, Brashad Perriman's owned in twelve percent of leagues. 1080 00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if he could do it again, but 1081 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,360 Speaker 1: plays and catches the long one. He had four catches 1082 00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,080 Speaker 1: for seventy nine yards last week. Yeah, they throw the 1083 00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,640 Speaker 1: ball downfield now, I mean, I mean, it's not that 1084 00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,800 Speaker 1: exciting target share for them over the last three weeks. 1085 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 1: And they play the Raiders this week that can be 1086 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,120 Speaker 1: had in the air. He's not a bad player either. 1087 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean, he kind of busted out in Baltimore, but 1088 00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,960 Speaker 1: he's big and fast and he's been pretty on good 1089 00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 1: for two or three years. Absolutely, I think he should 1090 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,960 Speaker 1: be Uh, he should hued be in the league. Again, 1091 00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 1: this guy's on this list. Nelson Agilars own league's kind 1092 00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:21,920 Speaker 1: of their wide receiver one. Yeah, I mean, I mean 1093 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,320 Speaker 1: he's more valuable in rugs. He's gotta be in leagues. Yeah, 1094 00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,680 Speaker 1: he's gotta be in leagues. Uh. T Y Hilton's ownerships 1095 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:30,240 Speaker 1: down to thirty eight percent and you buy him back 1096 00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,240 Speaker 1: in on t Y scored his first touchdown in like 1097 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:37,880 Speaker 1: four years. Him and A J. Green or that ship 1098 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,400 Speaker 1: probably has sailed. But here's the thing. Here's there that 1099 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:46,240 Speaker 1: schedule Raiders Texans twice over the next three weeks. I mean, no, 1100 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 1: Bradley Roby. I I'd rather Pittman than Hilton. Yeah, but 1101 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,160 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean Hilton can't catch six balls. First. I mean, 1102 00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,000 Speaker 1: if I'm the if I'm those teams, if I'm the 1103 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,360 Speaker 1: Texans and I'm the Raiders, I know that too. Okay, 1104 00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna We're gonna roll our coverage to Pittman. We'll 1105 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:01,760 Speaker 1: leave t Y one on the moment around the block 1106 01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,280 Speaker 1: long enough to beat single coverage and behind him, and 1107 01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 1: he could do some damage. He can. Um No, that's 1108 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,960 Speaker 1: not the worst thing. Kiki Q's owned him one percent 1109 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,000 Speaker 1: of leaks that's worth it. Yeah, there's there's one that 1110 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,160 Speaker 1: you got that's that could be a legal Yeah right right, 1111 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:20,280 Speaker 1: that's the one. Yeah, they throw the football. They throw 1112 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 1: the football a time, and I'm not sure Fooler going 1113 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 1: out helps Brandon Cooks And just because they used to split, 1114 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,680 Speaker 1: he's been he's been fine and good. But I don't 1115 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,560 Speaker 1: think he gets a huge bump. But QT gets a 1116 01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,960 Speaker 1: huge bomb. Yeah. QT is gonna get the single coverage 1117 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,760 Speaker 1: and now that's what I mean, right, roll the coverage there. Um. Yeah, 1118 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,880 Speaker 1: So I think he's he's the guy that really benefits 1119 01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,440 Speaker 1: from all this. Um, do you like Colin Johnson? No, 1120 01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:49,920 Speaker 1: Chark was out and so was Conley. I think that's 1121 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 1: kind of is either one of those guys come back though. 1122 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 1: That's the thing. There's there's something's gonna keep starting Glenn 1123 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 1: and until min Shoe's back, right, which is fine. And 1124 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 1: Johnson was the guy working with men you on the 1125 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,960 Speaker 1: scout team. So he's got a there's a little bit 1126 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 1: of pedigree. Like when he was coming out of Texas. 1127 01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,520 Speaker 1: The year before he came out, people were talking about, 1128 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,919 Speaker 1: yeah pig and you know he's he's got sigh big, Yeah, right, 1129 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:15,840 Speaker 1: he's okay, just keep him on your AWA who he is? Yeah, 1130 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,360 Speaker 1: the tight ends are pretty much the same, guys. It's 1131 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:25,520 Speaker 1: still Robert Tony Trade, Burt Logan, Thomas at forty one, 1132 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:30,480 Speaker 1: Jordan read a five, Dalton Schultz a black, black black. 1133 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:34,240 Speaker 1: I mean, would you pick up George Kittle if somebody 1134 01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,520 Speaker 1: was foolish enough to cut him? Because well, here's the 1135 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:41,479 Speaker 1: thing though, I heard an interview today and Shanahan said 1136 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 1: that they hoped to have him back for the last 1137 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,760 Speaker 1: two weeks of the season, So best best you get 1138 01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,520 Speaker 1: him back for your championship game. And that's only you 1139 01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 1: gotta get there first. You gotta get there. If you 1140 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:56,320 Speaker 1: have a spot on your roster doing nothing, fine, um, 1141 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 1: and how much would you even play on Week sixteed? Right? 1142 01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,520 Speaker 1: The Niners have to be in it, right, that's the 1143 01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:02,640 Speaker 1: other part of it, where and you need your fantasy 1144 01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:04,400 Speaker 1: team to do it. They're teetering on the edge now, 1145 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 1: like they're not in the playoffs as we speak, and 1146 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,080 Speaker 1: they've got some they've got some key matchups coming up 1147 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,760 Speaker 1: that absolutely could bury them. So they're not gonna if 1148 01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 1: if they're done, he's done. Yeah, Yeah, there's no sense 1149 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,720 Speaker 1: in even making them tight ends. Just it's a disaster. 1150 01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,000 Speaker 1: But I'm just trying to think outside the box. Like 1151 01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,560 Speaker 1: for Kittle to count for to matter for you, you 1152 01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:25,960 Speaker 1: have to get to the super Bowl and they have 1153 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,640 Speaker 1: to still be a contender. Yeah, it's pretty fine line. 1154 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:33,520 Speaker 1: It's a really real quick Who do you like in 1155 01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:37,800 Speaker 1: Tomorrow's Night? Tomorrow Night's Game? Fantasy Wealth? At this point, 1156 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you'd be doing DFS. I'm at 1157 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 1: like Ben, I like Snell, like Snow. I have no 1158 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,840 Speaker 1: problem with yours receivers. Um Ebron is probably a top 1159 01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,920 Speaker 1: twelve guy. I guess if you're DFS it you'd start Edwards. 1160 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,160 Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, you know, I mean I'd like to 1161 01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,360 Speaker 1: know if Dobbins and Ingram are playing or not. Yeah, 1162 01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,479 Speaker 1: I mean you're you're I think your DFS lineup would 1163 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,680 Speaker 1: be Well, do you think would you start r G three? 1164 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,480 Speaker 1: He'd be a lot cheaper than Ben, and he gets 1165 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 1: you some rushing yards that Ben won't get you, and 1166 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,360 Speaker 1: you start stealing receivers and you start in production that 1167 01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 1: where you you stacked the Steelers, all three Steelers receivers 1168 01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 1: with Ben and just think they throw just go Steelers 1169 01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 1: passing game Edwards. Do you think the Steels will throw 1170 01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:24,680 Speaker 1: much in the second half? That's the problem. But I 1171 01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,000 Speaker 1: know that the Ravens can't throw. I know, rights, they 1172 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,840 Speaker 1: don't even have a tight end. I want Edwards would 1173 01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,760 Speaker 1: be the guy. It's a that's a single game stack nightmare. 1174 01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,120 Speaker 1: I can't quit Dobbins. If he plays, I think he 1175 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 1: catches ball. Well, maybe start him and throw him in 1176 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 1: his your flex Yeah, yeah, thoughts about Yeah, they don't 1177 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,800 Speaker 1: have a tight end or they yet nothing? Right ball 1178 01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:45,840 Speaker 1: Steelers and you can't I'm sure they won't. They won't 1179 01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 1: let you do that. Why not? I mean, I don't 1180 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:50,160 Speaker 1: know if you can afford all those guys, well, that 1181 01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:51,920 Speaker 1: would be the problem. So you gotta find some. You 1182 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,160 Speaker 1: gotta find a cheap Raven here there to three and 1183 01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,920 Speaker 1: maybe that is Dobbins or maybe it's Edwards or one 1184 01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 1: of those guys. Hope Mark's Brown gets over the off. 1185 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:04,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I know you're that's a big he could 1186 01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 1: die of horrible not really, but you know what I mean, 1187 01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 1: go away for a long time. Anyways, that's gonna do it. 1188 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:14,400 Speaker 1: For the Fantasy football segment, he is Matt Williams and 1189 01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,680 Speaker 1: I'm Dale Lally. We're gonna take a break and come back. 1190 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,800 Speaker 1: Talked a little bit more Steelers and Ravens right after 1191 01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:26,080 Speaker 1: this your Tunes about Drive on Home of the Black 1192 01:04:26,120 --> 01:05:04,600 Speaker 1: and Goal Steelers Nation Radio. So before the days get 1193 01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,600 Speaker 1: the fantasy football focus. Thereby, we talked about the playoff 1194 01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,320 Speaker 1: race in the a f C, looking at things over 1195 01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,960 Speaker 1: in the NFC, where, of course everybody has played at 1196 01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,480 Speaker 1: least eleven games and well a couple of teams twelve, 1197 01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 1: which is odd to me that Tampa and Carolina still 1198 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 1: has a still gonna buy this late. This is really late, 1199 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 1: really late, um boy, but Tampa needs it. That's the 1200 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,400 Speaker 1: Tampa is perfect for them. Um. They have a lot 1201 01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,640 Speaker 1: of issues. So right now, you've got the Saints is 1202 01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:36,720 Speaker 1: the number one seat. Yes, you've got Seattle in number two. 1203 01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,680 Speaker 1: In the two spots they both have a Seattle and 1204 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,400 Speaker 1: green Bay both have eight and three records. Seattle wins 1205 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,160 Speaker 1: the tire breaker over green Bay based on strength of victory. 1206 01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,439 Speaker 1: They're both just won on in prime time the last 1207 01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:52,360 Speaker 1: two nights. Look good doing it. Um. Green Bay's the 1208 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:55,640 Speaker 1: three seat at eight and three. The Giants are the 1209 01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,680 Speaker 1: four seat at four and seven, which is nuts, and 1210 01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:00,680 Speaker 1: it has lost their quarterback for a little bit, and 1211 01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 1: they're still my pickt they swept Washington, I mean, that's 1212 01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:09,800 Speaker 1: that's gigantic. Washington has a real chance, Philly is a nightmare, 1213 01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,120 Speaker 1: and Dallas losing last week really hurts that really really 1214 01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:14,920 Speaker 1: hurt him. So I think the Giants might win that division. 1215 01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:17,560 Speaker 1: The Rams are the five seat at seven and four, 1216 01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:19,600 Speaker 1: and they're a little up and down, but I think 1217 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:21,560 Speaker 1: they're pretty darn good all in all. It wasn't their 1218 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,600 Speaker 1: best week, but I think they're a legit playoff team 1219 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:26,640 Speaker 1: for sure. And then after that, I'm not so sure. 1220 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,560 Speaker 1: Tampa is the sixth seat at seven and five. Yeah, 1221 01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:31,480 Speaker 1: I think they'll get into I should probably lump them 1222 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,280 Speaker 1: in with the Rams. Arizona is the seventh seed at 1223 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 1: six and five, but the loss is the last couple 1224 01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 1: of weeks, along with some wins, have now brought Minnesota 1225 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,640 Speaker 1: at five and six, Chicago at five and six, but 1226 01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 1: they're going wrong, they're going the wrong way. San Francisco 1227 01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,800 Speaker 1: at five and six back into the into the conversation, 1228 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,200 Speaker 1: like San Francisco is a way better team than Chicago, 1229 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:54,880 Speaker 1: especially if they start getting healthy. And I think the 1230 01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,720 Speaker 1: Bears have no chance, not really don't. They're they're horrible 1231 01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,600 Speaker 1: on offense, um in the defense, starting to wear out 1232 01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,640 Speaker 1: there in the field all year, um wherever we add on. 1233 01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,120 Speaker 1: If you look at this base solely on strength of victory, 1234 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 1: the team with the best strength of victory in the 1235 01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,440 Speaker 1: NFC is the Minnesota Vikes. I would say I bet 1236 01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,280 Speaker 1: it's a vis. They've had some good wins and they're 1237 01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,440 Speaker 1: a pretty decent team. I think their defense would be terrible, 1238 01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 1: but Zimmers kind of whipping it together to be okay. 1239 01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,920 Speaker 1: We talked about Cousins in the fantasy segment. They have weapons, 1240 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:29,520 Speaker 1: the lines playing better. They're a sort of dangerous team. 1241 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 1: There's one a lot of games lately. I think they're 1242 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,520 Speaker 1: a chance. They have a chance. I mean, Arizona has 1243 01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,360 Speaker 1: lost two in a row. Kyler's shoulder looks like it's 1244 01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,520 Speaker 1: really bothering them, and they're not used to winning. Like 1245 01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,920 Speaker 1: there's something, Yeah, I know how to win in December. 1246 01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,040 Speaker 1: Here's what they've got left. They get the Rams this week? 1247 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,800 Speaker 1: Who's that Arizona. I'm I'm not going to pick them 1248 01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,480 Speaker 1: with that one Rams this week at the Giants, that's 1249 01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:58,920 Speaker 1: not easy. Eagles at home, that easy. At home. I 1250 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,160 Speaker 1: don't think the Niners that. Meanwhile, the forty Niners will 1251 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,880 Speaker 1: have played two games in a row at that stadium, 1252 01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 1: because they can't know that'll be that one, and then 1253 01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:08,720 Speaker 1: at the Rams. To finish up the seasons. They gotta 1254 01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:10,840 Speaker 1: play the Rams twice. Down the stretcher. One or two 1255 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,360 Speaker 1: more wins for Arizona. If one of those two teams 1256 01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,240 Speaker 1: sweeps the other, right, it's a limit, it's a lizard, 1257 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:19,759 Speaker 1: and this will still be a good year for the Cardinals. 1258 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:21,759 Speaker 1: But I think people put them got a little too excited. 1259 01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 1: Put the car in front of horse a little bit. 1260 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,519 Speaker 1: These guys are a contender. Kyler's m v P a 1261 01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,400 Speaker 1: little bit. Tampa Bay, to me, though, is in a 1262 01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:34,160 Speaker 1: bad place. Here's what goes along. They play the Vikings 1263 01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,400 Speaker 1: coming out of the by. At least you get them 1264 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 1: coming out of by. But if they played this week, 1265 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:41,599 Speaker 1: I think I take the Vikes. Then they play at Atlanta. Atlanta, 1266 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,639 Speaker 1: that's snow, gimme. Yeah, they've won four out of six 1267 01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:46,680 Speaker 1: with their new head coach and should be five out 1268 01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:50,200 Speaker 1: of six at Detroit that's where they're done. Then they 1269 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:52,280 Speaker 1: finish up at home against the Falcons. They gotta play 1270 01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:57,519 Speaker 1: the Falcons twice down the stretch, probably split. That gets 1271 01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,200 Speaker 1: you to six, and then all of a sudden that 1272 01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,680 Speaker 1: that game against the Vikings is really a that's a 1273 01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:03,960 Speaker 1: big deal. That could be an elimination. It would be 1274 01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:06,080 Speaker 1: amazing if the Tampa doesn't get in. But they might 1275 01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:10,600 Speaker 1: not get in. They're a dysfunctional team, right problem. I 1276 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,680 Speaker 1: would hope that a veteran group and a bunch of 1277 01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:17,160 Speaker 1: professionals could get together this this bye week can figure 1278 01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:20,080 Speaker 1: a few things out, But I don't know. Here's here's 1279 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,240 Speaker 1: the thing. If you look at the team's currently in 1280 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,920 Speaker 1: the NFC playoffs, yes, the team with the lowest strength 1281 01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:31,040 Speaker 1: of victory outside of the Giants obviously the other six teams, 1282 01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 1: the lowest strength of victory is Tampa Bay. Really, they 1283 01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:37,479 Speaker 1: lose the good teams they've they've not beaten, you know, 1284 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,960 Speaker 1: other than beating uh, Green Bay, right, that's the one 1285 01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:44,280 Speaker 1: signature win. But they've lost the Saints twice. They lost 1286 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 1: the Bears, you know, they lose Bears are not great, 1287 01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:51,439 Speaker 1: but they's right, right, No, it's not been a great 1288 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:55,320 Speaker 1: year for Tampa. It definitely looking at that strength of 1289 01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:58,640 Speaker 1: victory over in the a f C right now, the 1290 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:02,760 Speaker 1: best strength of victory among the wow, uh, the best 1291 01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,479 Speaker 1: strength of victory Chiefs and Seal's gonna be really well. 1292 01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,640 Speaker 1: The best strength of victory in the conference belongs to Jacksonville. 1293 01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,640 Speaker 1: They've won winning over a good team. I guess they 1294 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,680 Speaker 1: have a six thirty six strength of victory because they 1295 01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:20,519 Speaker 1: beat the Colts. It's kind of an asterisk. Yeah, okay, 1296 01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:22,920 Speaker 1: and it was week one. Miami strength of victory is 1297 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:27,000 Speaker 1: two eighty six. They haven't beaten anybody anybody. Wow, that's 1298 01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:29,640 Speaker 1: really low. That's super low. That's lower than anybody, that's 1299 01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:34,200 Speaker 1: lower than Phill the Giants. Yeah, that's what's crazy. The 1300 01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,519 Speaker 1: Steelers right now are at four oh four, Kansas Cities 1301 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:41,760 Speaker 1: at four three, Tennessee's at four sixty because of course 1302 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:47,000 Speaker 1: they beat Buffalo. Um, they beat Spoke the Colts. That helps. 1303 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:53,599 Speaker 1: Cleveland's at three thirteen. Yeah. Uh, Miami through two eight six. 1304 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:57,040 Speaker 1: The Colts at the Ravens are only only at four 1305 01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:59,120 Speaker 1: thirty nine. I mean, I guess it's more I think 1306 01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 1: about it's probably rare to be over the Raiders, however, 1307 01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,960 Speaker 1: five sixty seven. Yeah, they beat the Saints, they beat 1308 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,880 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Yeah, they have some good way yea, some 1309 01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,880 Speaker 1: bad losses, like just like he'd like to see you. 1310 01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:15,200 Speaker 1: This also messed up strength of strength of victory, uh, 1311 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,200 Speaker 1: strength of defeat? Yeah, like who you who you're losing 1312 01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:19,720 Speaker 1: to it? Like the Browns are an ideal one that 1313 01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:24,000 Speaker 1: absolutely defeats a really high number where their victories aren't 1314 01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,800 Speaker 1: that great you know. Yeah, um, how would you power 1315 01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:29,040 Speaker 1: rank the top couple of teams in the NFC? Like, 1316 01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:31,720 Speaker 1: I think it's easy to put the Saints one. But 1317 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:33,720 Speaker 1: this taste some health thing is a problem. It's a 1318 01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:36,000 Speaker 1: it's an issue. You're not gonna play against teams without 1319 01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,960 Speaker 1: quarterbacks every week. Yeah, here's there, here's what they have left. 1320 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:41,400 Speaker 1: I know they play the Chiefs in a couple of weeks. 1321 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,120 Speaker 1: This week, they get the Falcons again in Atlanta. They 1322 01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:48,120 Speaker 1: could lose that game in Atlanta at the Eagles. Okay, 1323 01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:51,040 Speaker 1: I have no faith in the Eagles anymore. I think 1324 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:53,559 Speaker 1: I mean, taste some health. He gives him a chance 1325 01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:55,960 Speaker 1: to lose against anybody. Yeah, they got a lot easier 1326 01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,360 Speaker 1: to play against. Then they get the Chiefs at home. 1327 01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:01,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna lose that game. Vikings at home. When do 1328 01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,280 Speaker 1: we think Breeze has come back? They said initially three weeks, 1329 01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:07,000 Speaker 1: but then they put him on. I r he's eleven 1330 01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:13,000 Speaker 1: broken ribs and punctured long or something, I mean, years old. 1331 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:15,639 Speaker 1: I don't heel like you used to. I can't think 1332 01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,799 Speaker 1: you'd be running right back. So it's a Falcons at Eagles, 1333 01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:23,280 Speaker 1: Chiefs at Homes, Vikings at Home at Panthers. The Panthers 1334 01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 1: aren't gonna give up, but it's a ship. They don't 1335 01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,920 Speaker 1: win anymore, but they play everybody tough. The Vikes is 1336 01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,160 Speaker 1: a tough game. I don't know if they'll end up 1337 01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:31,960 Speaker 1: with the one seed. I think they're the best team. 1338 01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:34,320 Speaker 1: I still think if Breeze comes back, they have a 1339 01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:36,880 Speaker 1: chance to be the Chiefs and they have a chance 1340 01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,160 Speaker 1: to be that number one seed, but they can't. This 1341 01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:42,120 Speaker 1: can't be a four or five week thing with Breeze 1342 01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,719 Speaker 1: rather than later. I still would probably pick the Saints 1343 01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,280 Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl because he'll be back 1344 01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,720 Speaker 1: to the playoffs and they're to make the playoffs. But 1345 01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't see Seattle and in Green Bay have that 1346 01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:57,320 Speaker 1: they have that quarterback, you know what I mean? Like 1347 01:12:57,479 --> 01:12:59,519 Speaker 1: Rogers is as good he's ever been in in my opinion, 1348 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,639 Speaker 1: they're always gonna have the quarterback advantage unless they play 1349 01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:04,640 Speaker 1: each other or Kansas City, you know. I mean that 1350 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,360 Speaker 1: goes a long way, and especially the NFC that doesn't 1351 01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:11,519 Speaker 1: have powerhouses. So right now you're uh, you'd be looking 1352 01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:13,559 Speaker 1: at Seattle is at eight and three, Green Bays at 1353 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:17,559 Speaker 1: eight and three. I don't think. I guess the Rams 1354 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,120 Speaker 1: could climb back into that, but they don't have a 1355 01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,400 Speaker 1: shot at the number one seed now with four losses. No, 1356 01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,400 Speaker 1: probably not. But they could win their division. Yeah, I 1357 01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:26,599 Speaker 1: don't think somebody wins that it gets the number one 1358 01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:28,559 Speaker 1: seed over there with twelve and four record, I think 1359 01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:30,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be thirteen and three probably right. I think 1360 01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:32,640 Speaker 1: the Packers have a pretty easy schedule from what I 1361 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,960 Speaker 1: what I remember too, and the rest of their division 1362 01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:39,120 Speaker 1: is obviously really bad division games coming up, they get 1363 01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:44,880 Speaker 1: the Eagles at Lions, Panthers at home, Titans at home, uh, 1364 01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,360 Speaker 1: and then at Bears. So I think they lose one 1365 01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 1: more so that they could get the one. New Orleans 1366 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:55,400 Speaker 1: has some tough games coming up. Yeah, they could, they could. 1367 01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,960 Speaker 1: I don't think they're great, No, I don't either. I 1368 01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,720 Speaker 1: mean that game agains the Titan is gonna be really 1369 01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:03,439 Speaker 1: interesting because they can't stop the run. Henry might run 1370 01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:08,560 Speaker 1: for two, but Rogers might throw for five pass and 1371 01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:12,439 Speaker 1: then Rodgers never gets hit. Yeah, their corners aren't great. 1372 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,880 Speaker 1: Rogers Henry good point. You have to be you know, 1373 01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:22,360 Speaker 1: seven team play drive to play drive, then Henry over 1374 01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:25,880 Speaker 1: a two play drive and he goes seventy. You know, 1375 01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,360 Speaker 1: um yeah, I mean Seattle's defense is getting better though 1376 01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:31,880 Speaker 1: you're watching last night's game. I know, Philly's a mass. 1377 01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,120 Speaker 1: Philly's a mess. I don't judge anything off of that, 1378 01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:37,360 Speaker 1: I know, but Dunlap has helped them. Adams is healthy, 1379 01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,479 Speaker 1: I don't. Let's got a foot issue. Now, that doesn't Yeah, 1380 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:41,960 Speaker 1: he came in the game with a foot injury, so 1381 01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,599 Speaker 1: I remember that's uh, that's that's someone's scary. But I'm 1382 01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 1: not saying there's good. I'm just saying it's not off. 1383 01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,439 Speaker 1: Their scheds are really sets up nicely that that does. 1384 01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 1: Remember seeing this Giants at home in New York. Why 1385 01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,800 Speaker 1: is everybody playing New York teams back to back this year? 1386 01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:57,280 Speaker 1: What's up with that? I think that's on purpose, it 1387 01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,280 Speaker 1: must be. I think that was a pre COVID NFL thing, though, 1388 01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,000 Speaker 1: I mean just because a lot of teams are just 1389 01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,280 Speaker 1: staying there. At Washington, there's a couple of LA's back 1390 01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:05,800 Speaker 1: to back teams here. I think that's the thing. But 1391 01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:09,240 Speaker 1: there's those games are both in Seattle or they really Yeah, 1392 01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:11,559 Speaker 1: they have New York at home both times. Yeah, well 1393 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,640 Speaker 1: that doesn't matter, doesn't Giants don't care who was there 1394 01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:19,280 Speaker 1: before him At Washington Rams at home, that's a big game. 1395 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 1: It's a big game. And then at forty Niners there 1396 01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,680 Speaker 1: it's not a walk in the park either. Yeah, I mean, 1397 01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:28,800 Speaker 1: Shanahan is hard to play against that division. So there, No, 1398 01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:32,519 Speaker 1: I think Green Bay is gonna win the win the NFC. Okay, 1399 01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,120 Speaker 1: but I don't think they're a great team. No, I 1400 01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:39,280 Speaker 1: don't either. I think they definitely flaws. But every team 1401 01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:42,599 Speaker 1: in that conferences. But who's the seventh seed and who's 1402 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:44,600 Speaker 1: I mean, there's will be some okay teams getting in. 1403 01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:46,519 Speaker 1: I mean, right now you're looking at you know, the 1404 01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:50,480 Speaker 1: Cardinals got that one game lead. Uh could be realistically 1405 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:55,639 Speaker 1: it's either Arizona, Minnesota, San Francisco. Right we're does eliminate 1406 01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,640 Speaker 1: in Chicago, I don't think. I really don't think San 1407 01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:02,080 Speaker 1: Francisco No, I don't either. I think they have a 1408 01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:05,720 Speaker 1: tough run too, But I mean they're Jimmy's not coming 1409 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:07,920 Speaker 1: back for a couple of weeks. I mean, they're getting healthier. 1410 01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:10,080 Speaker 1: They do. They do fine when they're playing in the 1411 01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,120 Speaker 1: Division because they know how to play there. There beat 1412 01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,840 Speaker 1: the built their built to beat those teams once, you know, 1413 01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,160 Speaker 1: when they get outside the division, it's a little a 1414 01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:22,360 Speaker 1: little different. They get to play Buffalo this week's UM 1415 01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:25,120 Speaker 1: and there again they're not at home. It's a home game. 1416 01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:30,120 Speaker 1: But another thing. Then they're gonna play Washington at Dallas, 1417 01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:35,200 Speaker 1: UM at Arizona, and Seahawks at home. It wouldn't be 1418 01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:37,599 Speaker 1: crazy if they lose two more, that makes them nine 1419 01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:40,920 Speaker 1: and seven something like that. Yeah, yeah, probably not enough. Actually, 1420 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,800 Speaker 1: two more would make them, uh eight, put them at 1421 01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,200 Speaker 1: eight and eight. Yeah, they pretty much have one one 1422 01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,679 Speaker 1: game they can drop to any chance that's that's gonna 1423 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:53,040 Speaker 1: be an uphill climb. You're right, So yeah, yeah, bikes 1424 01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:55,960 Speaker 1: have a good chance going to postseason. It's quite a 1425 01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:58,360 Speaker 1: coaching job by Zimmer considering how they started. Yeah, I 1426 01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:00,400 Speaker 1: thought they were they were really bad, or that they 1427 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,880 Speaker 1: were five Yeah, I mean I thought they were just 1428 01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:04,240 Speaker 1: I thought they were the worst team in the team 1429 01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,680 Speaker 1: in the league. Starting the season. Yeah, it's come a 1430 01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:08,679 Speaker 1: long way really since they got rid of in Dockway. 1431 01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:12,599 Speaker 1: That was the kind of got him. All right, we're 1432 01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:14,560 Speaker 1: not gonna have Daniel Hunter coming back, get rid of 1433 01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,800 Speaker 1: in Dockway start winning games. That's what it looks like. 1434 01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:18,400 Speaker 1: They gave up. You know, we're gonna get rid of 1435 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:19,880 Speaker 1: this dude that we was rented for a couple of 1436 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:24,120 Speaker 1: games and then he started winning.

We'll do that right after this your tunes 1442 01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:44,960 Speaker 1: about Drive Home of the Black and Goal. Steelers Nation Radio, 1443 01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:21,599 Speaker 1: Welcome back. I'm Dale Ally here with Matt Williamson. Of course, 1444 01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:23,760 Speaker 1: it's time for us to make our picks on what 1445 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,320 Speaker 1: we think is going to happen uh in Steelers Ravens. 1446 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:31,320 Speaker 1: That game, of course, we'll be played tomorrow, will be 1447 01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:34,240 Speaker 1: in a fourth quarter about this time tomorrow. Be an 1448 01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:38,080 Speaker 1: interesting afternoon, a little different Wednesday afternoon than we're usual 1449 01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,880 Speaker 1: you know, specifically, I'm watching practice on a Wednesday afternoon. 1450 01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:42,880 Speaker 1: Order a chat with me between well at this time, 1451 01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:46,680 Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah, but obviously will be interesting circumstances. 1452 01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:50,439 Speaker 1: Do you think there's any chance that all this affects 1453 01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:54,080 Speaker 1: the Steelers and we get that they were rusty or 1454 01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:58,439 Speaker 1: came out colds. Certain chance, different circumstances, and it's just 1455 01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,080 Speaker 1: not the usual it will. I mean, it wouldn't surprise 1456 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,640 Speaker 1: me if both teams came out and started slowly, not 1457 01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,880 Speaker 1: a lot of practice, not a normal routine. But it's 1458 01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:08,680 Speaker 1: the Ravens, Like could be different if this was the 1459 01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:10,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys or Red Skin, you know, Washington or a team 1460 01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:13,479 Speaker 1: like that. You know, like you're always so up for 1461 01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,960 Speaker 1: this game anyway, has that lost something? All the emotion 1462 01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:18,280 Speaker 1: of it And I don't know how to wrap my 1463 01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:20,439 Speaker 1: head around because it's been I I don't know he 1464 01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:23,960 Speaker 1: is teasing us for it's impression in it. Yeah, I've 1465 01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,439 Speaker 1: never dealt with anything like this before. It's never happened 1466 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,439 Speaker 1: before in the NFL. So I have no idea what 1467 01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,439 Speaker 1: to expect in terms of how the teams will come 1468 01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:36,120 Speaker 1: out for this game. I just there's no clue. Originally, 1469 01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 1: you'd think Baltimore is in a really bad place and 1470 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,240 Speaker 1: desperates can be and gonna throw everything on the line 1471 01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,640 Speaker 1: and be as you know, aggressive as you possibly can 1472 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:46,320 Speaker 1: and play to the echo of the whistle and all 1473 01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:49,080 Speaker 1: those things. Or you can look at and be like, boy, 1474 01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:51,719 Speaker 1: the Steelers take this personally more than even a normal 1475 01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:55,000 Speaker 1: Ravens game and all the nonsense they've had to go through. 1476 01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it out on you and bury a 1477 01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,920 Speaker 1: sixty to nothing. But I don't know, I don't know 1478 01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:02,720 Speaker 1: no feel for that. Really. I think the only the 1479 01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,880 Speaker 1: only time you could see anything like this was back 1480 01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:10,599 Speaker 1: in two thousand one, after nine eleven. Yeah, everybody played 1481 01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:13,200 Speaker 1: their first week of games. That first week got played, 1482 01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:17,639 Speaker 1: and then September eleventh, the attack happened in the league 1483 01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,760 Speaker 1: gave nobody played in week two, so everybody came back 1484 01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,439 Speaker 1: in week three, and so the scores of the games 1485 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,000 Speaker 1: that week. The Giants beat the Chiefs thirteen to three, 1486 01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:30,160 Speaker 1: the Bears beat the Vikings seventeen ten uh Dolphins beat 1487 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:32,639 Speaker 1: the Raiders eighteen fifteen. And we've seen a trend here. 1488 01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:37,479 Speaker 1: Jacksonville beat Tennessee thirteen to six, Cincinnati beat the Ravens 1489 01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:42,920 Speaker 1: ten um Jets beat the Patriots ten to three, um 1490 01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:46,519 Speaker 1: scoring low scoring games. But then on the on the 1491 01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:53,799 Speaker 1: other side of the spectrum um there was Falcons Panthers sixteen, Chargers, 1492 01:20:53,880 --> 01:21:00,559 Speaker 1: Cowboys thirty one, Brown's Lions fourteen, uh Eagle of Seahawks 1493 01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:08,200 Speaker 1: seven three, Ramsteers thirty to twenty six, Broncos Cardinals seventeen, Packers, 1494 01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 1: Redskins thirty seven nothing. So you see both sides that 1495 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:16,360 Speaker 1: The Steelers, if you remember, had their buy in Week 1496 01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:19,240 Speaker 1: three that week, right, so they didn't play. They went 1497 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:22,680 Speaker 1: a home almost a month without playing. Kind of eerie. Yeah, um, 1498 01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:27,320 Speaker 1: and this is a difference, major thing that's sweeping the 1499 01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:32,080 Speaker 1: country obviously. And I mean those scores, I don't know 1500 01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:33,920 Speaker 1: what to think of that, you know, I mean it 1501 01:21:34,040 --> 01:21:37,599 Speaker 1: was were the game sloppy? Was there less emotion in them? 1502 01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:41,000 Speaker 1: Were there more penalties? Were passing games not real precise 1503 01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:44,400 Speaker 1: and sharp? I don't know. Yeah, the Steelers lost their 1504 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,880 Speaker 1: next game to the Raiders in week was essentially Week three, 1505 01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,640 Speaker 1: but really Week four that was thirty to seventeen. That 1506 01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,280 Speaker 1: was that was in that stretch of games where in 1507 01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:55,720 Speaker 1: Week one the Patriots came out and threw the ball 1508 01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,679 Speaker 1: twenty eight straight times or whatever it was straight times, 1509 01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,240 Speaker 1: and then the Raiders just came did nothing but throw 1510 01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:05,040 Speaker 1: the ball against the uh against the Steelers running against 1511 01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:08,840 Speaker 1: at that point, right and one seventeen. So I don't 1512 01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:10,880 Speaker 1: know what to expect from this game. I think the 1513 01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:14,360 Speaker 1: Steelers are I thought they were the better team going 1514 01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:16,000 Speaker 1: into this game, and I would have picked them to 1515 01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:19,479 Speaker 1: win this game normally. I can't take a lot out 1516 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:21,760 Speaker 1: of the first game either, right, And if you're a 1517 01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:25,080 Speaker 1: Ravens backer, you're saying, Lamar doesn't turn the ball over 1518 01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:26,840 Speaker 1: as many times he does, we win. We were a 1519 01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,519 Speaker 1: better team, and I think that's a strong argument. But 1520 01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:31,840 Speaker 1: this isn't the same group of dudes you're trying now. 1521 01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:34,160 Speaker 1: You know, your quarterback turned it over four times. You 1522 01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:37,400 Speaker 1: can't discount that fact. No, that happened, you know, and 1523 01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:41,320 Speaker 1: students came back strong and uh they're they're undefeated and 1524 01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:44,120 Speaker 1: beating everybody, and this team struggling right now and they 1525 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:46,720 Speaker 1: don't have their guys. That's the thing to me. I mean, yeah, 1526 01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,000 Speaker 1: you can look at that that Ravens Games said, Well, 1527 01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,479 Speaker 1: they the Ravens out played the Steelers for most of 1528 01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:54,719 Speaker 1: the game except for the turnovers. But they haven't played 1529 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,160 Speaker 1: well since. No, No, it wasn't like it was just 1530 01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,439 Speaker 1: a small blip on the rain. It's like, oh they've 1531 01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:01,160 Speaker 1: been then, they've beat the pants up the last three 1532 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,479 Speaker 1: teams that they played, or it wasn't like, you know, 1533 01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,760 Speaker 1: their offense last year was unbelievably good, but we haven't 1534 01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,760 Speaker 1: seen that all year, right, I mean it spurts. We're 1535 01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:13,160 Speaker 1: leven games into this thing, and it looked like two nine. 1536 01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,200 Speaker 1: It's certainly not going to look like that with with 1537 01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,120 Speaker 1: r G three at quarterback, right, and those guys walking 1538 01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,640 Speaker 1: for him and those guys catching the ball and all right, 1539 01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:23,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's a bad group. Yeah, it's just not 1540 01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,160 Speaker 1: a good good team. I've got the Steelers winning this 1541 01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:27,479 Speaker 1: thing thirty one to ten. That's funny. I have thirty 1542 01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,160 Speaker 1: to ten. I was just walking out and grab the water, 1543 01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:30,519 Speaker 1: and I'm like, what am I gonna do here? I'm like, 1544 01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:32,880 Speaker 1: at thirty to ten, they'll get up on him early, 1545 01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:37,280 Speaker 1: choke them out the field goal too, and never will 1546 01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:39,640 Speaker 1: be competitive. I just don't see how it will be. 1547 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,559 Speaker 1: I don't either. I mean, I'm sure the Ravens are 1548 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,080 Speaker 1: gonna give it to the old college try um, but 1549 01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:48,720 Speaker 1: they didn't want to play this game. No, And I 1550 01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:52,280 Speaker 1: think they'll do everything, you know, not by the book, 1551 01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:54,439 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, they just want to get through 1552 01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:57,519 Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, I think this isn't this one's about 1553 01:23:57,560 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 1: survival because I think they've already taken this one as 1554 01:23:59,880 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 1: a loss in their minds. I think hardball is better 1555 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:04,559 Speaker 1: on the block long enough that in the fourth quarter, 1556 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna look at it like, hey, Marlon Mont, you 1557 01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,519 Speaker 1: come off the field. We gotta play again in a 1558 01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:11,280 Speaker 1: couple of rights, and we've got a chance to maybe 1559 01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,439 Speaker 1: really put something. We'll get. Yeah, we'll get Lamar back 1560 01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:15,360 Speaker 1: for the Tuesday game. We'll get we can win the 1561 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,320 Speaker 1: rest of these games from here on out and still 1562 01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:19,479 Speaker 1: get into place a turning point in our season. This 1563 01:24:19,600 --> 01:24:21,719 Speaker 1: is kind of like we can rally around this terrible 1564 01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:24,880 Speaker 1: bye week situation and then go from there. You know, 1565 01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:26,880 Speaker 1: we're out of the We're out of the woods now. Yeah. 1566 01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:28,720 Speaker 1: I think I think that's how they're gonna look at it. 1567 01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:30,360 Speaker 1: Think it's almost how they have to look at it. 1568 01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:33,200 Speaker 1: Just yeah, it's al much like down for the other way. Yeah, 1569 01:24:33,320 --> 01:24:35,240 Speaker 1: Like I don't just get through the game. Let's get 1570 01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:37,320 Speaker 1: through the game. Hopefully, want have any injuries, you know, 1571 01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:41,000 Speaker 1: and maybe we'll see them again in the playoffs. Yeah, well, 1572 01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:43,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure that. I'm positive that's what Hardball is gonna 1573 01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:46,040 Speaker 1: be telling his team, like, you know, but you have 1574 01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:49,720 Speaker 1: lost twice then too the Steelers, And yeah, you know, 1575 01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:52,840 Speaker 1: I've seen that's before as well. I mean when this, 1576 01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:54,479 Speaker 1: you know, and the Steelers is not like they've been 1577 01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:56,519 Speaker 1: struggling and stumbling their toes left and right. I mean 1578 01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:58,560 Speaker 1: there's They're back to be in the best team of 1579 01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,799 Speaker 1: division and it's pretty Does not having to it affect 1580 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:06,080 Speaker 1: the Steelers in this game? No, I'd rather have to 1581 01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:08,639 Speaker 1: it next week than this week. And I don't think 1582 01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,000 Speaker 1: Washington is very good or their lines particularly great. I 1583 01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,320 Speaker 1: just don't know that that's enough. I don't know if 1584 01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,080 Speaker 1: they'll get to a back though, for that game. That's 1585 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 1: the problem. I'm just saying, like, of all the games 1586 01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:19,080 Speaker 1: this year, this would be one of the ones I'd 1587 01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:22,280 Speaker 1: want to pick the to missic guy like that, just because, uh, 1588 01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, unless unless they can run the ball consistently, 1589 01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:31,000 Speaker 1: and that the Steeler d line looks like it's wearing down, 1590 01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:33,760 Speaker 1: and you're like, boy, really could have used another very 1591 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,840 Speaker 1: able body. Wormley's gonna. I think Wormley is gonna play 1592 01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,840 Speaker 1: a pretty decent role in this game. This would be 1593 01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:42,120 Speaker 1: his highest snap count of the year, without a doubt. Yeah, 1594 01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,360 Speaker 1: I mean he'll get the most snaps over bugs, overbugs, 1595 01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:48,519 Speaker 1: over those other guys he'll get. I believe he'll get 1596 01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:51,320 Speaker 1: to start because he's the guy that practiced all week. 1597 01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,240 Speaker 1: It's a weird opponent for this question. But who do 1598 01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,719 Speaker 1: you think you're two into? Your guys are on passing downs. 1599 01:25:57,280 --> 01:26:00,719 Speaker 1: I would go with Hayward and probably two main guys 1600 01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:03,400 Speaker 1: and then rotate from there. You don't think Wormley will 1601 01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:06,639 Speaker 1: bite into a Lulu's time on Nickel and diamonds. Maybe, 1602 01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:09,680 Speaker 1: I mean he'll spell him, Yeah, But I mean I 1603 01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:12,160 Speaker 1: think your two best guys are Lulu and Hayward. Treat 1604 01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:15,320 Speaker 1: him just like Lulu. Yeah, because at least the Lulu, 1605 01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:17,280 Speaker 1: I mean, if they want to try to run, you know, 1606 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,720 Speaker 1: he's he's got a little pass rush juice, and he 1607 01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:22,720 Speaker 1: knows what he's doing out there. He's not gonna He's 1608 01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:24,320 Speaker 1: not gonna give up a lane and all of a sudden, 1609 01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:26,559 Speaker 1: Archie three breaks three. He's gonna have a good day 1610 01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:28,960 Speaker 1: against those centers. He has four past defenses this year. 1611 01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean that's he gets his hands for a nose 1612 01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:35,720 Speaker 1: tackle for who's on the field about of the time. 1613 01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:37,840 Speaker 1: He's really been a difference maker this year. I mean 1614 01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,360 Speaker 1: one of the more under reported stories. Yeah, you know 1615 01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,720 Speaker 1: b level Steelers that have really been difference makers and 1616 01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:45,320 Speaker 1: why you've been a bunch of them. I mean it's 1617 01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,400 Speaker 1: not just the stars who are who are showing up. 1618 01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:49,160 Speaker 1: You can say what you want about they play an 1619 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:51,680 Speaker 1: easy schedule and blah blah, give me things like that 1620 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,200 Speaker 1: to happen to Absolutely, I can't.
