1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: We are back on Dally here with Matt Williamson and

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: that we're talking h a FC right now. The every

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: team in the in the conference now has at least

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: two losses. Yeah, that's crazy. There really is. I mean,

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: there's it's a much more wide open thing or situation

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: than Oh yeah, I mean it's I mean for the

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Steelers in particular, I mean they're far contrary to what

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: some of our listeners think, they're far from out of it,

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: out of being the top seed. As I say, I mean,

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: it's there for the taking to really make it interesting

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: at least or you know, certainly be in the hunt

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: down the road. I meant to tell you this before,

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: but happy belated, um tight Enda National tight End Day.

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: It's not young tight end hot, young hot. Young tight

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: ends will celebrate that at a different time in the

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: off season. But how you a National tight End Day

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: without Waller, Kid or or Gronk. I mean, come on,

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: but anyway, yeah, tough, tough, Yeah, absolutely. But so we're

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: going through the teams that we believe are contenders for

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl or contenders for a playoff spot. I

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: think you only came up with two teams Buffalo, Buffalo

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: in Kansas City and the City were the only two

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: that you said, yeah, they're contenders for the Super Bow. Wow,

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: somebody has to go, and it might not be one

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: of those two, right, the one one of the two

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: that we've talked about. Kansas City is not even in

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs, right right? I mean, I think there's five

28
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: in the NFC, right that you can all make strong

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: cases for. And I don't even know if they're better

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: than the other a f C teams. I mean they're

31
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: all better than the Chiefs, that's for sure. All right.

32
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: How about this little game. We haven't talked about the

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Steelers yet, right, we will? What if would do you

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: want the Bills and Chiefs or the other four teen

35
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: teams to represent the a f C in the Super Bowl?

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean, chief might not make the playoffs. I might

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: go with the other four teens. The Bills would be

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: by maybe your first round pick. They'd be like two

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: to one. Yeah. Yeah, Like if if we were picking,

40
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: if you're to DNFC draft, I would say you can

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: either have the first overall pick or the next two

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: because they could both think the Bills, but then I

43
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: went the next two to make it even you know

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: what I mean? But the next three, right, I don't

45
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: even know who those two would be though. Would Kansas

46
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: City be one in your next two? Yeah, they're in

47
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: a bad spot, man. Yeah, they're just playing bad football. Right,

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: but they go to the Super Bowl a lot. They're

49
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: playing bad football. They are really bad football. Um, let's

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: take a look at their schedule here real quick. Okay,

51
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: what they have and I know they have a lot

52
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: of division stuff left. I mean the teams they've beating,

53
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: the Browns, the Eagles in Washington, right, I start exactly,

54
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: you know who's who have They're collective when lost, getting

55
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: you know, not good. Now they get they get the

56
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: Giants this week. I gotta think they get right on

57
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: that one. But I didn't think the Giants would beat

58
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Then they play the Packers, probably in trouble there.

59
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: Then they play it at Las Vegas. Wow, huge game,

60
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: huge game, a huge game. And they get the Cowboys. Wow.

61
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: I know they have a first play schedule, and they

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: play the Broncos that's at home, and they get the

63
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: Raiders at home. Then they they're at the Chargers and

64
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: they get the Steelers. That's in their building, right, that's there.

65
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: Then they're at Cincinnati ouch, and then they finished off

66
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: at the Broncos. So they currently rate with way the

67
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: way they're playing right now as we sit here, I

68
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: can see where they finished with like eight wins. Yeah,

69
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean, so not only do they have a first

70
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: place schedule, which is tough, you know, without a question,

71
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: their division is tough, and they play the a f

72
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: C North, right, yeah, I mean, which has for god,

73
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not many easy ones. There's no layoup, right,

74
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: and they played a couple of layups. I mean, they

75
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: got the Giants this week too, and they should win that.

76
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: I mean. They also play the NFC East, which three

77
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: of the four which outside of Dallas is a bunch

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: of layups, but two of them are already as will

79
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: tear them apart. What's the over under that game gonna

80
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: be a million? Oh my god? Yeah, what's I mean,

81
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: what's the highest it's ever been for an NFL game.

82
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like, where's that game at? If you're

83
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: still looking at this game is in Kansas City. Okay,

84
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: let's say they play this game that game this week.

85
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: Dallas is favored, right even in case, well maybe not.

86
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean that's a weird place and they are the

87
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs and Vegas. Doesn't you know people have bet on

88
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, but I would pick the Cowboys. Neither one

89
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: of them has a great defense. I mean the Chiefs

90
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: are atrocious that the Cowboys are better. Yeah, the Cowboys

91
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: are what Kansas City used to be, right, but with

92
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: a better running game, with a bet with within, a

93
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: much more effective running right right now, Dallas is a

94
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: legit contender. Yeah, the FC is interesting though, I mean,

95
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: it's funny that that when you said that, Like, I

96
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: only came up with two contenders, and one of them

97
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: has a losing record and hasn't have a really good

98
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: win on their on their roster. I could definitely see

99
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Baltimore or Cleveland turning into that, or the Chargers convincing

100
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: me with a run, but they're all far from it. Yeah,

101
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: and I don't think the Raiders are for real. No,

102
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't either. I think they're good. They're way better

103
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: than I thought they were. But they're remaining schedule. They're

104
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: at the Giants this week. I think they have the

105
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: hardest schedule in the league by some of those advanced metrics,

106
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: and well, they had it before the season started. Everbody

107
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: assume the Chiefs were good right right right right there

108
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: at the Giants this week, and she's for the Giants

109
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: this week. No, the Chief's start actually know the Raiders

110
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: runna buy Raiders by then. Then they played the Giants

111
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: fair enough. Then they play the Chiefs at home. Actually

112
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: a good time for a buy for the Raiders. I

113
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: don't want to keep playing. They're playing well, and for

114
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: the Giants that might they could get some guys back

115
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: by that. That's two more weeks from the Uh. Then

116
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: you get the Bengals at the Cowboys Washington. They'll be

117
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: should win that should have Fitzpatrick back by then, yeah,

118
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: I think so. There's been news today that he's coming off.

119
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: He's gonna be eligible soon. And you're at the Chiefs.

120
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: Big games at the Browns. Those Raider Chiefs games could

121
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: be as important as any divisional games in the league

122
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: right now because one of them probably. I don't know

123
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: what the Chiefs can afford to split those right right.

124
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like the Chiefs have to knock

125
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: because then you kind of knocked the Raiders out of

126
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: it a bit, and you know, yeah, then they play

127
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos at home at the Colts, and then Chargers

128
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: to finish up the season. Yeah, that seems like five

129
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. Maybe if they go fived

130
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: the rest of the way, they're probably a player probably

131
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: in they get seven. Now that they they go six

132
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: and five or five and six, they get to test

133
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: ten wins, Yeah, possible. I mean they're the two seed

134
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: right now too. Who do you think it wins the West?

135
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: I still like Chargers to Yeah, I mean, let's let's

136
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: take a look at their schedule. It's Patriots this week

137
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: at the Eagles. Like your chances there that these are teams, well,

138
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots are giving them probable because the Patriots run

139
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: the ball like crazy. But yeah, I'm sure that they've

140
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: made adjustments. But the two games that Herbert really struggled

141
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: in last year as a rookie where the Patriots type schemes,

142
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: it was Patricia and Belichick. You know, I'm sure they

143
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: have adjusted. But you know, then they get the Vikings

144
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: at home, Then they get the Steelers at home. That

145
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: could be a four and OSE stretch, though at the

146
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: Broncos will be five and I stretch at the Bengals, Okay,

147
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: like when the Chargers are at Giants at home, Chiefs

148
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: at home at the Texans, Broncos at home at Raiders,

149
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: had the Churches. Churches are winning that division. They're gonna

150
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: win like twelve games. Yeah, unless injuries crush them. You

151
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: know they're coming off of by now you get guys

152
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: like Mike Williams healthy, that seems like three more losses. Yeah,

153
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: just the off the top of my head. And I

154
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: mean lose to team like the Steelers that you they'd

155
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: be favored in. They're the one team when the Steelers

156
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: go west, the Chargers of the one team where they've

157
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: they've had success against. Out of all of them. They

158
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: don't win in Oakay, they don't win against the Raiders,

159
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: they don't win against the Rams, they don't win against

160
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: the forty niners. But the Charter they always beat the chart.

161
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: I can't explain it right, And I'm sure a lot

162
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: of Steeler fans go with them, that trip fans. Yeah,

163
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: charges ad spot. Um, So what do we think of

164
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers? Are the Steelers a contender? I think they

165
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: are a playoff contending their playoff contender without question. And

166
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: what do we think need I mean, I think a

167
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: ten win team gets in. Yeah, I don't know if

168
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: an eight win team gets in. No, I don't think

169
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: any I think it'll be a nine. They're probably at

170
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: least one nine. But you're gonna have to win some tiebreakers, right, Yeah,

171
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: that makes sense. CEOs tiebreakers aren't a great not great.

172
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: Right now, because you've lost the Cincinnati lost to the

173
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: Raiders a spot, you get an opportunity two even things

174
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: up against the Bengals. Yes, the Raiders lost Looms. Yeah,

175
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: that could certainly be a tiebreaker that hurts you. Um,

176
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: you get to play the Titans, right, You get to

177
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: play the Ravens twice. You get to play the Browns twice.

178
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: These are games, These these games take on greater importance.

179
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: You get to play everybody ahead of them. They play

180
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: in a way. Sure, you're rather play the Texans and

181
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: Lions and you know, every week and just win, but

182
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: at least you have a power over the teams you're

183
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: playing against with you know, like boy, those games will

184
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: mean more almost when all what happens there you could afford.

185
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: You know, splitting with Cincinnati and Baltimore in Cleveland probably

186
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: doesn't help you win a division if you go, you know,

187
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: four and two in those games, you know, probably not bad.

188
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: Before we dig into the Steelers. What's the Bengals remaining schedule,

189
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: because what if they I mean, what if they win

190
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: four or five in the division. Well, this week they

191
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: have the Jets, right, I know, it's then they play

192
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: the Browns. Then they're at the Raiders. If they played

193
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: the Browns today their favored right, yes, no matter what building,

194
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: but that one's at home at the Raiders. Then they

195
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: get the Sailers, and they get the Chargers as they're

196
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: both at home. Then they get the forty Niners that's

197
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: also at home. That doesn't look nearly as hard as

198
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: it used to. And they're at the Broncos, Ravens at home,

199
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 1: Chiefs at home, and at the Browns. They had a

200
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: bunch of home games, a bunch of home games. Yeah,

201
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: they've been really good on the road. There's some tough

202
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: games there though, there's some tough games there, but three

203
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: or four wins. They're five and two right now. Yeah,

204
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if you give them, if you'll

205
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: give them, they're gonna beat the Jets this weekend. Six. Um.

206
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: I think they beat the Browns at home. That would

207
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: be seven. Yeah, okay, I mean nothing. We won't put that,

208
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: we won't put that down. Don't count that a right,

209
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: So we're getting the Jets as a gimme, we give

210
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: them gimme. I mean, there's no gimmes. But at Denver

211
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: there favored Yeah. I think they win that game right

212
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: now easily. So there's there's three gimmes there, and we

213
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: think they get to eight to eleven ish. Yeah, I mean,

214
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna win more than just those three. They're going, Yeah,

215
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: they're going there's three gimmes on the schedule already. Yeah,

216
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: they would have to really implode hard injuries. But they've

217
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: beaten the Viking, Steelers, Jaguars, Lions, and now the Ravens. Yeah.

218
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean, so that's kind of you know, it comes

219
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: back to what we talked about before the season ever started,

220
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: like the schedule is huge. Denver's a perfect example, or

221
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: Caroline is a perfect example where they both those guys

222
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: were three and oh against Patriots are Yeah, they're a

223
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: nice example too. To the Dolphins. It looks awful right now,

224
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: not that I mean the Steelers have that Bills win

225
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: to hang their hat on, and frankly, their losses to

226
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens, Raiders, and Bengals are not embarrassing by any stretch.

227
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: Over where those teams are at. Yeah. Interesting, Um, where

228
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: was I going with that? I had what needs to

229
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: happen for the Steelers too. I'm starting to think what

230
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: worries me? Not most about the Steelers, but when you

231
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: we look at their matchups. You mentioned Tennessee, you mentioned Certainly,

232
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: we'll talk a lot of Browns, downhill power running teams.

233
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: To me or what worries me right now? It's not

234
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: that I'm worried more about the defense than I am.

235
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: The passing game or the offense or any of the

236
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: offense is worse than the defense. We know that, but

237
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: the offense is trending the right direction. The thing that

238
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: I keep thinking about, and why I keep bringing that up,

239
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: is if I'm Cleveland this week, if I'm Tennessee, I'm

240
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: going to keep the Steelers in their three man defensive

241
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: line all the time, no matter what I mean. If

242
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna if you're gonna go to Nickel, You're gonna

243
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: be far less physical than the team I'm putting out there.

244
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: You know, I'm laying a lot of tight ends, fullbacks,

245
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe even extra offensive lineman. I want warmly and every

246
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: defensive lineman not named Hayward to play as many snaps

247
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: as I possibly can, and even if it's not fruitful

248
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: for a while, and um, you know Edmonds is in

249
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: the box a lot, and all those things will happen.

250
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: You gotta stop Chub or Henry thirty times or twenty

251
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: five times between the tackles. I mean, that's what I'm

252
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: doing as the Steelers, and therefore you're probably you know,

253
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: eating up a lot of time possession. And you know,

254
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: those defensive linement around Cam need to hold up. They

255
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: need to hold up, or they need to get better,

256
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: or the Steelers need to go out and get somebody

257
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: else who is better. Yeah. I mean you mentioned like

258
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: Tim Settle or you know, I mean not that he's

259
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: a superstar, but a nose tackle type. Yeah, you know,

260
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be Hampton. But that's that's to me,

261
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: is a weakness that looking at future opponents, can they

262
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: beat you up down the middle? I think of the

263
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: ones that the Steelers are gonn want to try to avoid, Yeah,

264
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: because you know, I when you're playing the Steelers, you

265
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: want to avoid their pass rush. Yeah. I mean they're

266
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: pretty good on the edges and outside the numbers. The edges.

267
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: What's the thing about the Steelers even last year. They

268
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: didn't stop the run great, but they got a lot

269
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: of tackles for losses. Yeah, big play on a drive,

270
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, so you give up a five yard run,

271
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: you give up another five yard run, then you get

272
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: a stop for minus two. Now all of a sudden,

273
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: it's second and twelve. Now you can rush the passer. Yeah,

274
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: you know, and then you bring your extra d backs

275
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: out and all the blitz packages and all that stuff, right,

276
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: you know, the early downs are will worry me a

277
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: little bit for where they're how they're constructed. It's a problem.

278
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: So you look at the you know, but they're fresh,

279
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: are coming off of Bye two. I mean, like, I

280
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: do expect those big men warmly hasn't played those amount

281
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: of snaps. I do expect that group to be better

282
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: this week than they were last week. Time saw the

283
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: uh they had the Browns this week. That's a downhill

284
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: running team, and they play the Bears. That's a downhill

285
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: running team. The on that's the only thing that they

286
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: can do. Yeah, Lions, not so much now they're not.

287
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: That's not a bad line when healthy, but it's not

288
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: healthy at the Chargers. That's not their style. That's not

289
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: their style at the Bengals can be. They can be,

290
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: but they don't want it. It's not what they're built

291
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: to do. I mean they're a heavy, empty team and

292
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: three wide and you know, and they get the Ravens.

293
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: But I actually like their matchup against the Ravens. I mean,

294
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: people don't. They swept the Ravens last year and they

295
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: won the game in Baltimore when Lamar started. I'd love Lamar.

296
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean I would have a lot more fear respect

297
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: if they guess Edwards right, you know what I mean,

298
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: if they had a professional running back. I mean, one

299
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: guy that knows the system that they like, that they trust.

300
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: Now hand theball off the ghost of Bell and just

301
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: throwing a bunch of a fan And I think if

302
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: I raised him right now, I might beat him. He

303
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: looks little to me too. Yeah, he looks lean and

304
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: not the same and wearing a weird number. I just

305
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: see no burst. What's that burst? Right? And Freeman and

306
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: that one? Yeah yeah, yeah, he's not the same at all.

307
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: Then they played the Titans and there's also some value

308
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: and we saw this with the Bengals. If you face

309
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: Lamar a few times, you have a better big leg.

310
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: If you don't play that team often, they're really hard

311
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: to prepare. I forgot the fight they're at Minnesota. Then

312
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: they get the Titans downhill running teams. Yeah yeah, I

313
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: mean they need to get that fixed. Yeah, I mean

314
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna do the same things on You don't want

315
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers to have six defensive backs on the field

316
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: and you're not sure what position nor was playing. You

317
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: want you want Davis and you know bugs and those

318
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: guys on the field. Yeah at the Chief you don't

319
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: have to worry about to run there Browns again and

320
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: then the Ravens again. So yeah, uh to me, that's

321
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: a weakness that needs to get fixed. That's who it

322
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: can help. Something that needs to be addressed. And if

323
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: you addressed, I'm sure in you know, in the in

324
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: that building they have an idea of when they have

325
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: an expectation that two it might be back. Um, but

326
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: even if you even if you know he's going to

327
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: be back at some point, you know, a lua lose

328
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: not right, I still want to play with three defensive

329
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: if you're not. Yeah, they got one, yeah you could,

330
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: you could get too could, but how what's too it

331
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: gonna be? Like? That's the part of the equation is

332
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: he gonna play sixty snaps. I'm Kevin Colbert, I'm on

333
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: the phone. I I know you know I should know this,

334
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: but finding a big man is not easy. But I

335
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: don't know how many draft picks they have right now

336
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: that they can trade, because you know they're counting on

337
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: comp picks. You can't trade them before you get them,

338
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: so they don't have a ton of compensation. They're not

339
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: going to trade. Contrary to what some people say. I'm

340
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: sure they're not gonna send James Washington somewhere for a

341
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: nose tackle. He's not going anywhere. You know, you're trying

342
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: to win. Now, there's nobody You're not gonna trade Ebron

343
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: or you know, I mean that you have to trade

344
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: a pick. I don't know. I don't know they have

345
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: a lot to give up those mid rounders. They don't.

346
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: But you know you could trade the next you know,

347
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: two year future something. Um because they traded a sixth rounder. Um,

348
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: they gave up fifth rounder for Avery Williamson. UM rounders,

349
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: so they get the extra one there. Um, they used

350
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: a sixth rounder they traded to Jacksonville for Schobert. Okay,

351
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: they moved up for louder Milk that was a fourth

352
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: rounder this year. Right, So they gave a pick for Weatherspoon, Yeah,

353
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: they have him. A fifth round pick for Withers doesn't

354
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: leave a lot left. Yeah, Now, I mean I'm not

355
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: giving up Day two picks. No, not unless I'm getting

356
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, somebody good back, somebody who I have control over, right,

357
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: not someone that's are I mean, I'm not renting Tim

358
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: Settle for the rest of the year for third round pick. Yeah.

359
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: That that that I don't have, you know, I mean

360
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: they have They're gonna have off season needs and concluding quarterback.

361
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 1: But again, that's the biggest glaring need right now. It's

362
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: my biggest concern. And if you feel like they have

363
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: the cap space to make a move, they could fit

364
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: someone in. Um looking here to see exactly this thing.

365
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they can figure out compensation. It's not

366
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: like they have no cards in their hand whatsoever. Okay,

367
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: so they have a one or two or three, they

368
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: don't have a four. We're expecting them to get at

369
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: least a three. I mean, again, they can't trade these things,

370
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: but the compic is gonna be nice. They're projected to

371
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: get a fifth round compensatory pick as well as a

372
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: third I think, and then they've got two sevens, but

373
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: you can't rade to fifth round competitories because you don't

374
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: have it doesn't exist yet right now. Could you get it?

375
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: Could you get a guy for a seventh round pick? Maybe? Maybe? Maybe?

376
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 1: And the ones the one seventh round pick that they

377
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: have is from the Jets at least, so it's gonna

378
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: be like the first it might be the first overall

379
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: seventh round pick, and they're gonna and they're a really

380
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: young team, and once bends out of the equation, they'll

381
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: be a really young team. And I don't know if

382
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: you even count him anyways, because I mean he's you know,

383
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: he's a singular position. The O line got a lot younger.

384
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: And I don't know this upcoming draft class, but I

385
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: do know it's going to have more bodies times a

386
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: million than the last one. I mean, there's all these

387
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: super I mean, you can mind that undrafted, only so

388
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,239
Speaker 1: many guys that are gonna get drafted. I take this

389
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: back now because I've seen him in the Steeler uniform,

390
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: but I had a real problem with the louder Milk

391
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: move at the time, Like he's the he's the X factor,

392
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: he's the because he's they could be that guy, yes,

393
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: and I would give him more snaps like that be

394
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: one of my biggest things going on to this. Absolutely, Okay, Isaiah,

395
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: we need you to be double your snap count. The

396
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: problem is he's not a nose, he's not knows, but

397
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: he's a good talented body. The question then becomes, do

398
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: you think Carlos Davis can be that nose? And again,

399
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: we don't need these guys to be hamped in. I

400
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: mean just big anibals in the middle of the line.

401
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: Get this again, the tackles for losses. Yeah, keep your

402
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: keep your linebackers from having guards firing out in their faces.

403
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: They just be able to force the double team and

404
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: hold up, hold up against it and don't let them

405
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: easily get free. Releases the Bush and Schobert and those guys,

406
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: but go a long way because that's what people are

407
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: killing Schobert and Bush, that's the problem right now. That's

408
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: I think the people in front of them are the problem.

409
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: That's like killing Nause for not getting enough yards per carrying.

410
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 1: They're getting there getting you know, either if it's not

411
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: if it's not the fullback coming through the whole at

412
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: them when they when they're the other team does have

413
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: a fullback, they're getting a guard in their face. Yeah,

414
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: that's not what they're designed to do. It's one of

415
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: those things that kills me. But you read the draft

416
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: perspectus on somebody struggles to get off blocks. Well, any

417
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: two pound guys going to struggle to get off a

418
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: block of a three pounds strow Yeah, right, right, that's

419
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: one slip, like one out of every ten, or you

420
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: know he evade him. But a lot of times when

421
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: you do, you know, slip that block, they're the running

422
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: backs running through the hole right where you go to

423
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,479
Speaker 1: the right and he goes to the left. I got

424
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: away from the block, but I just created a hole.

425
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: The idea is to take those you know, the ideas

426
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: of not first of all, not have those guys get

427
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: blocked and the taxes, right, that's how it's that's how

428
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: it's type of teams. And obviously they've drifted away from

429
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: two gapping in Hampton and Smith and those guys. Um.

430
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: But no, it's a problem right now because I don't

431
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: think that Bush and showbird er busts and I think

432
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: that they are what they are. I mean they're coverage guys.

433
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: I thought they both play hit and run linebackers. They

434
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: cover a ton of ground speeds more important than you know,

435
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: you don't need Earl Holmes would be a problem right now,

436
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: you know. I mean even level Kirkland might as well

437
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: as he ran, you know, like world changed, but you

438
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: gotta plan accordingly, and they did. But they just got

439
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: hit at the wrong spot, you know. So I do

440
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: think though, kind of along the low remote conversation, they

441
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: now have to it aside and Tyson Lua lu aside.

442
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: Everybody else looks like they're healthy and they have a

443
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: lot of guys. So if the rotation, you know, it

444
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: can make up for it, Okay, you know, everyone to

445
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: step up a little. Warmley is not playing sixty snaps,

446
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: he's playing forty two. It's on the horizon. But it

447
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: worries me. I mean there's no doubt concerned. Yeah, yeah,

448
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: And you know that's why I think, you know, if

449
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: they do happen to make it, if they would make

450
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: a move there, it might tell us more about potentially

451
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: what's what's going on with to it. And I think

452
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: you're an agreement here too. I mean, if you'renna make

453
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: a move anywhere. I mean, it would be for a

454
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: d tackle, nose tackle type, that's what you need. Yeah,

455
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: I mean the old line is not perfect, but it's

456
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: coming together. You're not gonna get someone better than choose

457
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: or you know what I mean, Like you're not gonna

458
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: get to land of pace. You know, like those guys

459
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: aren't in the market. Um, you're not gonna trade for

460
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. You know you're you're not gonna trade for

461
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson this year, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,

462
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: there's gonna needs in the off season, but the only

463
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: one that's worth talking about for trade deadline is D line. Yeah,

464
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: you know, I would even explore and I know, just

465
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: give me a big guy that can hold down the

466
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: middle for ten plays. And I wonder the Jonathan Hankins

467
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: of the world that lasts forever that have been doing this.

468
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: There's probably a couple on the streets. There's probably a

469
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: couple on the streets that aren't doing anything right now

470
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: that do you wonder what shape they're in? Well, but

471
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: that's not a position where you have to like you say,

472
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: I got to two plays, I go right, I go left.

473
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, give me some first down snaps against

474
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: the you know, the Browns, to make some play. Just

475
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: be big and muck it up because they're going to

476
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: test them again. There's gonna be a lot of snaps,

477
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: I think, with three D linemen on the field with

478
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: that for a while, without a doubt, and he was

479
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: gonna take another break. He is Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lullet.

480
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: You're listening to the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio.

481
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: When we come back, it's time for the Fantasy Football Focus.

482
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: Good week in some ways for if you had the

483
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: right guys, but others maybe not so much. We'll go

484
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: over that when we come back right after this
