1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and Goals

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back to the Drive. I am

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: Dale Lally. He is Matt Williamson, and uh, well this

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: is uh not all Steelers talk all the time, but

5
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: it's certainly a lot of Steelers talk here. And then

6
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: I was just looking at an article on Football Outsiders.

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: It's it's about the fixing fixing offensive offenses, Colts, Rams

8
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: and Broncos. Steelers aren't mentions aren't mentioned. I see where

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: you're going with this. Yes, yes, uh, this is you know,

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: we're just talking before the show with uh, with Mike

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: pursuit of about to see so there, you know, they're

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: they gotta be playing the worst football in the league

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: right now. And I'm like, did you watch last Thursday

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: night's game? Yeah, and let's talk about you know, let's

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: have this conversation tomorrow after tonight's game as well. Right,

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some brutal teams and that's even mentioning

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: the Texans or you know, some other teams out there,

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: some other teams that are really really struggling right now.

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: Offense is really down. I mean points per game is down.

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: You know, I know we talked fantasy in the next segment.

21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: But like if you have Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, Alan

22
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: or Mahomes, you're doing well in fantasy. If otherwise you're not.

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: And the reason because offense is down. Those quarterbacks aren't excelling.

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Um defenses are kind of still have the leg up

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: on them right now. I don't even know if it's

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: defense is having the leg up right now, if it's

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: just I mean, if I look at the teams right now,

28
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm so the Steelers as we sit here, total offense, okay,

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: is that yards that's in yards? Yeah, and that's going

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: to continue to climb. I think so, especially the yardage

31
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: the point things that's that will typically follow suit if

32
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: you start getting more yards. Like typically if you have

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: three hundred sixty two yards as the Steelers did last week,

34
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: I usually score like twenties some point you should, I

35
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: think Kevin Colvert used to say, like forever, No, it

36
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: wasn't cover, it might have been might have been Todd Haley,

37
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: but for every hundred yards you gained, you should score

38
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Okay. I mean, I know there's people that

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: have formulaly done has a formula Ford and they call

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: them you know, expected points, you know, things like that,

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: and that would total really add up. Yeah. So, I

42
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: mean right now, the Steelers are under their what you

43
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: would expect point wise, given their off their yard, their

44
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: yard a j output. So we had a good conversation

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: on that video today about red zone woes. That doesn't

46
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: really worry me yet yet, you know, I mean because

47
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: pickets played at one start and condensing the field in

48
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: the red zone is a major major adjustment and preseason

49
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: isn't close to the same. And the Bills are great

50
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: in that situation in their building with a lead, you know, like,

51
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: if it keeps up that they don't produce touchdowns in

52
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: the red zone for the next couple months, I'll be concerned.

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: But just going that game installing in the red zone

54
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: doesn't really worry me. I mean really, I feel like

55
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: we should have expected that, you know, more than anything. Again,

56
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, we knew this offense was going to be

57
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: a work in progress. Um. To me, what I want

58
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: to see is more throws into the end zone. That's

59
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: a good call, right. Pickens really come to mind too, Yeah,

60
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: with those those two guys in particular. Also, you know,

61
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson has been so close to making a couple

62
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: of huge plays, and Matt Cannonda talked about it today,

63
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: like he's like, look, I have complete faith in Deonta

64
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: to to make some of these plays because we've seen

65
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: him do it in the past. I doubt many of

66
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: our listeners know who Ian Harris is, but he works

67
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: for Pro Football Focus. He's like their top uh fantasy

68
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: guy and it's it's funny. He has a she'sh and

69
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: what that means is, she's my guy almost scored but

70
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: he didn't. He's got a running joke all year about Deante.

71
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: He's like, this guy leads the SHE'SH list every week

72
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: and it's so many he charts these things, you know,

73
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: like had a touchdown brought back by penalty or barely

74
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: got one foot out and he has this jokeo and

75
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: about the Ante, Like no one has been closer to

76
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: blowing up this year, not just having a good year

77
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: blowing up than Deonte. And it's just kind of bad luck.

78
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: It's not that he got it. He's a slightly worst

79
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: player than he was, you know, it's just people are

80
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: blaming this. I understand he dropped the ball. It's not

81
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: just him though, It's it's quarterback placement of the football. Um,

82
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's you know, I have no concerns

83
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: about him. I don't either. I mean I think drops

84
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: or something that are gonna be part of his game.

85
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's gonna lead the league and

86
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: drops every year or anything like that. He just gets

87
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: so many targets, a lot of targets, right you know.

88
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean he had thirteen targets last week, right, right,

89
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: you know I And I've had a lot of people saying, yeah,

90
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: Buddies or whoever, this guy drops a big key one

91
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: every game or every half. I'm like, I don't think

92
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: he does. There's not much evidence of that. You know,

93
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: there's a target on him all he has bad hands.

94
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't think he has a bad hands. No, I

95
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: don't think he does either, Larry, He's not Fitzgerald. But

96
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: I mean he's fine there. Um, but he's really been

97
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: close ridiculously yeah yeah. Um, you know he had three

98
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: targets in the red zone last week. Um. Again, those

99
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: those need to continue. But I also think the two

100
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: big the two big guys Um and not Claypool. I've

101
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: given up. I've given on Pope on Claypool being that

102
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: I kind of have to. I mean, we had this

103
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: conversation like last week the week before. It's like, yes,

104
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: he's big, and he has a good vertical to combine.

105
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he has he's get a big catch radius,

106
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: but as you see, it's not doesn't mean he knows

107
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: how to use it well or he's particularly adapt that

108
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: ball skills, you know, forgetting he was he was a

109
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: star basketball player in high school. Yeah, you mentioned that

110
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: much like plately. You know, people used to talk about

111
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: that with Plexico Burrish. He was a star basketball player.

112
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't see it. Maybe he you know,

113
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: maybe he was a great scorer or whatever. And I

114
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: know Claypool was the average fifty points a game or

115
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: something like that had his last year. I don't know

116
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: if he's a great rebounder because he doesn't high point

117
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: the ball well at all. I would say, you can

118
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: dunk and shoot threes or be a good jump shooter,

119
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: and that doesn't translate to being a good receiver at all.

120
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: I go back to the conversation and I have with

121
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: George Pickens, high school coach yesterday um for the piece

122
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: of writing on Steelers dot com, and he talks about

123
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: how how pickens Um knows how to use his body

124
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: to screen off to screen off the cornerbacks. And you

125
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: saw it in the play down the sideline last week

126
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: against the Bills. It's a one on one situation. It's

127
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: good coverage, good coverage. The cornerback has no chance to

128
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: make a planet ball because he puts himself between the

129
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: ball and the cornerback and just plays big and plays

130
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: big a right. He shields people with his body. You know,

131
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 1: times it very very well without breaking the rules. And

132
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: that will only get better too, because the relationship between

133
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: quarterback and receiver is very key in that too. You're

134
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: going back shoulder or not? If we read the coverage

135
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: the same, Am I leaving them? And should I lead you?

136
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: Or am I going back shoulder? Or Hey, it's just

137
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: me and this dude. I don't care where you put it.

138
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: I'll go get it and put it wherever. And I

139
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: think pick It trusts him certainly more than Trabisky did.

140
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: But I mean it could be this is an exaggeration,

141
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: but I mean Rogers and Davante Adams, you know, like

142
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: Rogers isn't throwing those balls to the other guys right

143
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: now because he doesn't have his guy. I think pick

144
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: It and pick Ins could develop such things. And I

145
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: think pick It will with all his receivers. Yeah, I

146
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: think they're on their way to doing that. Um, you know,

147
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: but it does again take time. Um. You know Ben Roethlisberger,

148
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: he talked about you you know, he talked about doing

149
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: it with with Friar move last year. You know, I'm

150
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm purposely throwing him bad balls to see what his catch,

151
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: Rady says, to see how he had Just Okay, if

152
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: I throw this over his back shoulder and you know

153
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: instead of his front shoulder, how does he turn and

154
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: adjust to the ball in the air. Does can make that?

155
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: But oh he can do that? Okay, Now I can

156
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: make that throw because I mean think about it. If

157
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: you're a quarterback, it's like my thought process is, I'm

158
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: not going to try to hit him in the numbers.

159
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to put it somewhere else. And that's

160
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: a scary throw, Like, yeah, you have to trust you

161
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: have to trust him. And where's the defensive that Because

162
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: defensive backs are gonna play it where they think the

163
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: quarterback is gonna want to. You're you're playing you have

164
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: great coverage you're a corner. You're you're looking for the

165
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: ball six inches in front of the the numbers, as Bill

166
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: Walsh used to say, and you throw it on his

167
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: back hip. He's like, Wow, that's not where I was.

168
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the beauty of it, that shoulder throw. Um,

169
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: I seem like was that I mean kind of like Brett.

170
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: That was like a Brett Farve. Yeah, I mean you didn't,

171
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, I just remember to me, the guy I

172
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: remember throwing it the most was Farv with his guys. Yeah,

173
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think how it originated. I mean, Rogers

174
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: is taken it to a new level. Yeah, you know.

175
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: I mean it's a lot of trust though. I mean

176
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: that's not how old school coaches drew it up. Like

177
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put this behind the receiver. I'm you get

178
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: him fright in front of the numbers. You don't put

179
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: him on his back shoulder when he's flying down the sidelines.

180
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: But I do think that the Steelers, Okay, they're through

181
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: five games. They don't have a wide receiver touchdown yet,

182
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: right right right, I think that's gets corrected this week.

183
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: I would bet yes, yeah, and it needs to obviously,

184
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: But I think those things are coming. Um, it's again.

185
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: The whole offense isn't gonna get fixed overnight. I mean,

186
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: we knew this in camp. We knew this all along.

187
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: The idea was that the defense will be really good

188
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: and help the offense. It did in Week one exactly.

189
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: We saw how it was drawn right, right, right right.

190
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: I meanwhile, I think the offense has gotten better. I mean,

191
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: I know they put up a ton of points and

192
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: they need to score more touchdowns, but that the line

193
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: has been better. Um, the running game hasn't, but the

194
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: pickens is at least as good as advertised. So and

195
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: the defensive injuries haven't helped. But that's how this league is.

196
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a tough league, you know. I think,

197
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: you know, could we see more Jalen Warren this week?

198
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Mike Tomlins, I wouldn't fight it. Mike

199
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: Tollin was asked about he said, hey, look, we're playing

200
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: him a lot already, and he deserves it. He's he's

201
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: given US varsity reps. Could he be a guy that

202
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: has a little more success against this Tampa Bay front

203
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: a little more shift? He hit it quickly, can get

204
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: lost behind. I don't know. That I have any um

205
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: role for this, But you're seeing more pony packages in

206
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: the league now with two running backs on the field,

207
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: and it would just be a different wrinkle, you know,

208
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: like Green Bay does it a lot. Everyone always says

209
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: they're going to do it, but nobody ever really does it.

210
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: But this year you're seeing more of it. Um, if

211
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: Friar Muth couldn't go or one of your go to

212
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: guys is down, I don't know if there's value in

213
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: it or not. Because they're both good blockers. I mean,

214
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: one of the big problems to put in two running

215
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: backs and there's going to hand it off. I kind

216
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: of just lost a blocker, you know what I mean.

217
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: And they're gonna be heavier on you on defense, so

218
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't know they'd be terrible. Yeah, I'm I'm interested

219
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: to see how this continues to work itself out, because,

220
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: let's face it, I mean, Nagi Harris has not been good.

221
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't think you just said go into every game

222
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: saying we're gonna hand it to him twenty five times.

223
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: You know that doesn't sound successful right now. I mean,

224
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm fine throwing him in football, and I think it

225
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: continue to do more of that but you know, I

226
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: think that you know, the way he has run the

227
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: football and over the first month and a half of

228
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: the season is not created a lot of No, he

229
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: hasn't looked like the same guy him last year. No. No,

230
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: I mean his best attribute to me as a runner

231
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: is being able to do a lot of it. And

232
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: I'm not comparing him to betting Snow. He's a thousands

233
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: better and betting Snow. But that was always my scouting

234
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: report on Snow is he has that mentality where you

235
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: give him a ton of carries, ton of carries and

236
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: and he's better and better as the game goes on.

237
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: But Benny, you're not good enough for me to give

238
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: you a bunch of carries, you know what I mean.

239
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: But I hope Harris never gets to that level. But

240
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 1: that's the dilemma right now to me. Yeah, and this

241
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: is not a team that you want to try to

242
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: run sideways against. I don't know if you want to

243
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: run straight out of him either. I mean, they're hard

244
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: to run on when they're at their best, but I definitely,

245
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: I mean, with those two inside linebackers, I don't want

246
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: to start running horizontal scrimmage. You're right, Yeah, they'll definitely

247
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: track you down. Um Winfield. Winfields attacks that really well too.

248
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: For a little guy. He is nasty as could be. Yeah,

249
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: I love him. Um. Atlanta is really a bizarre offense.

250
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: That's who Tampa played last week. And I didn't study

251
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: their run game, but I know they do a lot

252
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: of different things in an old school Derrick Henry Titans

253
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: type of way. Um, maybe you can grab something off

254
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: that tape. Is all I'm saying is, hey, it worked

255
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: last week, and we could do that. You know, I'm

256
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: exactly sure what, but you know, I would definitely be

257
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: thinking outside the box. Yeah, regardless of what it is. Um,

258
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, just to come up with something different, some

259
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: kind of wrinkle. That's that's a little bit different because

260
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: I don't want I know, I know what I don't

261
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: want if I'm the Steelers and that's Kenny Picket dropping

262
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: back to past fifty two times in this game like

263
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: he did last week. Yeah, I mean that's probably a

264
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: recipe for problem. He's gonna get hit a lot. Yeah,

265
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: you can get hit. And I didn't want to get

266
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: his buffalo either, and he did hold up. Okay, Yeah,

267
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: I mean I think but again, they're not a big

268
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: blitz team. This guy's gonna hurt. This team is gonna

269
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: have free defenders coming. No matter how well your offensive

270
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: line blocks it up, they're gonna be Yeah, They're gonna

271
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: be times where they bring more than you can block

272
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: and a six man pressure and you have a five

273
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: man protection, right, you know, I mean, it doesn't mathemakers here, right,

274
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: any better get it out quick and he probably gets

275
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: at least bumped or it you know afterwards, you know, right,

276
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: and you know so to me, this is good practice

277
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: in some ways for what Kenny Picket's going to see

278
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: twice later this year against the Ravens. True. I think

279
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: they're even better at it than the Ravens, right, yeah,

280
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: and that's a good call. This is what he's gonna

281
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: see in his career, right, I mean, I mean these

282
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: are all this is all part of the process, the

283
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: learning process for Kenny Pickett. That's why you know it

284
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: if you take some lumps early. Um I I still

285
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: look at the back end of the schedule again. If

286
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: they can steal at least one of these next three games,

287
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: if they get too great, if they can steal one

288
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: of them, though, I would just say one of these

289
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: next two games. Philly's Philly. But you know they're gonna

290
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: look like he dreaks from now. Um, But if you

291
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: find a way to do that. I look at the

292
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: back end of that schedule and say, Okay, you've you've

293
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: navigated the rough wa right here. You know, are you

294
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: still afloat? Well, you've you've taken on a lot of water. Oh,

295
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: you're taking a lot of water. There's holes in the boat,

296
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. But that doesn't mean you can't build

297
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: on this. And you know, can you can you win

298
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: seven of the last nine, six of the last nine,

299
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: whenever it may be, and gained some momentum to roll

300
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: in the next year. You know again, you win two

301
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: of these next games, and it's all about the quarterbacks development. Yeah,

302
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the number one thing that everyone and

303
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: I think all our fans know that. You know, the

304
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: guys people listening go if Kenny keeps getting better, I'm

305
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited about the team, you know, I mean,

306
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: And that's key. I referenced Greg Costell all the time,

307
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: but this morning on a podcast on My wait or

308
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: at home, they were asking him about picket and he

309
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: really was effusive in his praise. He just said, I'm

310
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: already convinced watching him at pitt in Pittsburgh that this

311
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: is going to be a good quarterback in the NFL,

312
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: good starting quarterback. I don't know how good he's gonna be,

313
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: but he is advanced and I'm already vince he's going

314
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: to be a good starting quarterback. Wow, that's a lot

315
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: after six quarters of NFL football, you know, and say

316
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: that about Lawrence and fields and he doesn't. And and

317
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: to me, that's that's the most promising thing that can

318
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: come out of this entire thing, the whole year. If

319
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: this year, if if, if the Steelers, let's say they

320
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: win seven games or six games, but they found their

321
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: future quarterback, they found their quarterbacks for the next ten years.

322
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: This season is a success. Absolutely. I mean, like the

323
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: Bears and Jets are. We've lost a lot more games

324
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: lately than the Steelers, but they've also just drafted a quarterback.

325
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: If they come out of the season and neither one

326
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: of those teams wins another game, but you go to

327
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: Salah or the head coach of the Bears and say,

328
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: are you happy to quarterback? Oh? Yeah, success, You've got

329
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: the most important piece, you know. You poured the foundation,

330
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: you can build the other stuff around them, you know.

331
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm more confident that Steelers have their guy

332
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: than those two teams. I am too, I you know,

333
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: I think you know we went through those quarterback power

334
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: ratings or rankings yesterday. Um, honestly I could easily see

335
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett breaking into the top twenty over the next month, right.

336
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean I think this time next year he might

337
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: be ten. Yeah, I mean, you know what I mean.

338
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: I think I've I've adjusted my ceiling for him. I

339
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: used to think, well, maybe he can be Derek Carr,

340
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, which is a fine ceiling. That's what I

341
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: thought he was coming out of pain. I think he

342
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: can be better now, I think for watching him play,

343
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: being around him, I've never been around him before, you know.

344
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: Now I see I do see the Joe Burrow comparisons

345
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: in terms of how he carries himself quickly acclimated, yeah, um,

346
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: how quickly he processes exactly. You know. I don't want

347
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: to see a step back this week against the Buccaneers,

348
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: but there will be some steps back. There will be

349
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: some step back. I Burrow still has steps. Burrow, for

350
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: as good as he is, still takes too many sacks. Yeah,

351
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: Burrow maybe took a step back this year compared to last.

352
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: He's still good, real good, You're still real happy with him,

353
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: but he didn't go forward. Yeah, I mean so, I

354
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: mean that's what this that's what this season is about.

355
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: And on the way to doing that, you want to

356
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: win as many games as possible and develop other things.

357
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: Is Dan Moore my left tackle, you know, and things

358
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: like that, because the winning part of it, to me,

359
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: is about the is It's about the organization, the culture,

360
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, you know, teaching these these young players. Hey,

361
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: losing isn't acceptable. You know this, This is not how

362
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: we do do things here. And that's gonna be a

363
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: hard balance and that falls on Tomlin. Yeah, no matter

364
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: what the record is, keeping the Cam Hayward way of

365
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: looking at things, the Rooney way of looking at things,

366
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: you know, the baddest way of looking at things, and

367
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, generations going back to Joe Green and Chuck Nole.

368
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: You know, you have a you have something that the

369
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: Lions never will or the Jets, you know what I mean.

370
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: You can't lose that, even the Bills, I mean they

371
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, So, I mean, you you want to keep

372
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: that culture alive. Those guys do have to walk past

373
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: those six Super Bowl trophies every day, they see the

374
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: photos of the other guys on the wall. Um, you know,

375
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: so that you know, you do have to be held

376
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: to that higher standard. Um. And you gotta bounce back,

377
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: which is why you don't just hey, let's let's see

378
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: what you got here, and let's see what you got there.

379
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: Throw this guy in there, and throw that guy in there.

380
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: And we got a plan still, Yeah, and stick by

381
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: it and be very conscientious of it and question about it,

382
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: you know. And if if a Cam Heyward starts to

383
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: fall off, you better find somebody else, you know. I mean,

384
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: you gotta keep bringing in draft a little bit better,

385
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, all of this class looks really promising,

386
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: but you gotta keep bringing youth and youth and youth.

387
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: And don't look at it like I'll just go find

388
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: a left tackle on the open market, like they don't

389
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: really exist. Yeah. I'm not even saying they need a

390
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: left tackle. I'm just saying, you know, you better keep

391
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: grooming from within. Yeah, I think you know that's that's

392
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: part of and again to your the right type of people,

393
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: the type of people you know, I walked into that

394
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: locker room on Sunday after that loss, and I saw

395
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of guys that were piste off.

396
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: And that's that's the way they should be. Yeah, I mean,

397
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: I'd rather they were piste off than just kind of

398
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: hanging their head and uh, you know, moping around just

399
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: another loss. They could personally, you know, be angry, right right,

400
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean, and you saw it living it late in

401
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: the game too. There was a lot of fight and fights,

402
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But you could tell they

403
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: weren't just fine with it. They know they weren't happy

404
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: with how that that played out. And you know, I

405
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: saw the Ryan. I mean, I didn't see that at all.

406
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: Any time a team gets his butt kicked like that,

407
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna have that. You could say, that doesn't mean

408
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: it's true. Ryan Clark hasn't set foot in that locker

409
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: room in ten years. And there they have Jackson he

410
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: doesn't know and all these guys. He doesn't know anybody

411
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: on that team outside of Cam Heyward. Yeah, that makes sense,

412
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: and he wants clicks to like everyone else. Yeah, and

413
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: he's paid. As Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday, Ryan Clark

414
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: gets paid to go on TV and give his opinion.

415
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's his opinion. Just because a

416
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: guy once played for an organization doesn't mean he knows

417
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: what's going on inside that particular organization today today. Yeah yeah, um,

418
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, then you can't possibly just watch that game

419
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: on TV. Like I didn't say, oh man, there's no

420
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: effort here. They don't care, you know, Like I don't

421
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: know exactly what Clark's comments were, but after it was

422
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: something along those lines. There was the fight where you know,

423
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: I heard quit, you know, but I looked at it like,

424
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: who who's this corner I've never seen before? Like they

425
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: got some why splane out there? You know, like they

426
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: got some dudes that aren't you know, the drowned to

427
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: right now. And the injuries was not the reason they lost.

428
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: They were by far the inferior team no matter what.

429
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: But you know, at the end of game, that's what

430
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: I saw. It was who are these guys? Yeah, and

431
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: a lot of guys out there who you know, if

432
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: it's the fourth quarter of the fourth preseason game or

433
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: the third preseason game, be like oh okay, yeah right

434
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: not they like five against the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, that's

435
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: going down by thirty or whatever. The guys who have

436
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: been with the team for a week, right right, right, right, Yeah,

437
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: so we'll see. I don't think effort or culture is

438
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: a problem though, No I don't either. Um, I trust

439
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: that that they'll get you know, again, I thought Mike

440
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: tom would put it well when he said, look this,

441
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: we didn't dig ourselves into this in one day, one game.

442
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: We're not gonna dig ourselves out of it in one

443
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: day or one game. It's gonna take a continued effort

444
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: to get out of this. Um. But you know, I

445
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: if they had one against New England, if they had

446
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: one against the Jets, uh, just be a completely different feeling.

447
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: One more. I mean, two and three is a lot

448
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: different than one in four. It just is, you know.

449
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: I mean I said that with the Raiders, if they

450
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: could have squeaked that one out with the Chiefs, all

451
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're like, okay, you're not far. Now

452
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: You're three games back, you know to one. It's like, oh,

453
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,359
