WEBVTT - AFC North Full Division Preview 2026 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.600 Time to dive into some AFC North football game preview. 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:05.480 Guy here with a look at what all four of 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.160 their teams did ahead of twenty twenty six. I am 0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:12.039 not related to Alexa or Max Headroom or Pinocchio. I'm 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.080 a real boy who is super appreciative that the NFL 0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:18.560 chooses to rely on humans to narrate things like NFL 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.680 game previews or NFL throwback videos or season preview material 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:27.520 like this. AFC North ravens new head coach preseason division 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.520 favorites with an eleven and a half over under mark. 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:32.800 Only other team to get that high of a bar 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:37.400 the Rams. Bengals with Joe Burrow Jamar Higgins could give 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:41.080 them trouble if their d can just play at average levels. 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.600 Steelers get one more year of a Rod, hoping adding 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.600 Michael Pittman makes their offense more dangerous, and Cleveland all 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:51.479 eyes on the quarterback battle. Will it be to Shaun 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.560 or Shadoor? Time for another new era in Cleveland football. 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.960 The Kevin Stefanski Browns are no more. It's time to 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.440 see if Todd Munkin can get them going in the 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:02.200 right direction. 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.720 They cut a check with my name on it. You 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.039 know what they expect a freaking kick ass football team. 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.240 That's what they expect. You know what they want. They 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.520 want to become a winning franchise. But our fan base 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:17.440 in our region. 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.520 Is proud of Monkin's first order of business, figure out 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.559 who should run his offense. 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:24.880 Hotel. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.360 He could go with Primetime Junior. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:31.319 Got a touchdown rounds or with it a score. 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.280 See if he can make him look the part of 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.040 a bona fide NFL quarterback. 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.800 Well, we get poll Buck pas it bear your. 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.119 Tick, pall Shador Sanders had some moments. 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:48.160 The entertainment, a jog Town touchdow some not a ton though. 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.760 Seven tds against ten iron t's a sub seventy eight 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:57.640 Sanders looking, So maybe it's Deshaun Watson didn't play at 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.320 all in twenty twenty five, but remember twenty two twenty. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.080 While most of us would like to forget it all together, 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.720 Watson threw for thirty three tds only seven iron t's 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.359 over three hundred yards per game. 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.079 Watts, He's gonna take a shot. 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.680 A long time ago, though, right could decide. Dylan Gabriel 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.800 is the guy too. He has options, if nothing else 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.480 or any of them good enough to improve an offense, 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.359 even Oscar the Grouch didn't want to live next door 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.120 to Last year on a board bro come on a 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.920 go second fewest points per game at sixteen per contest, 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:40.560 a coming thirtieth in yards per game twenty ninth. 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.600 On third down, receiver felled out. 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.959 I just picked off of the far sideline. 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.600 So no shock. They went heavy on offensive guys in 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.400 the draft. Took wide receiver Casey Concepcion in the first. 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.239 You will see how dynamic an electric this guy is, 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.200 especially with the ball in his hands. He is someone 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.680 who had returnability and that shows up once he catches 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.359 the foot fall again, got to get better, more reliable 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.880 catching it. But once he does, you see this just 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.880 it's over. It is a boat race. That is a 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.280 speedboat with a bunch of canoes trying to catch up 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.240 to him. Here he is showing the ability to. 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.000 Flucking go added white out Denzel Boston in the second. 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.280 El Boston power forward. This is a nice compliment to 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.920 what they have in Casey Concepts. You own Casey concepts. 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.080 Jon can work in the slot, can return kicks. Denzel 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.560 Boston is gonna play outside as a big, smooth, fluid 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.120 mover with a big catch radius. 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.760 And with their first first rounder they took tackle Spencer Fan. 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.800 Now, he's got excellent intelligence and awareness. You can see 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.240 it in this play. He also has some nastiness to 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.960 be able to drive and finish. When you get outside 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.720 in the run game and then out in space you 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.160 want to throw screens, you want to pull him. He's 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.520 more than capable of doing that. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.560 They hope he and others can help give whoever's behind 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:54.800 center more time he's in trouble. Heavy sacked Cleveland quarterbacks 0:03:54.840 --> 0:04:00.800 took fifty one sacks, face the highest pressure rate in 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:01.480 the NFL. 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:04.120 Paul cuts loose. 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.760 Only Joel Botonio played all last year. They lost to 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.520 Wan Jones after just three games. Right tackle Jack Conklin 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.800 allowed a fifteen percent pressure rate. That's not good. 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.480 Looking for the touchdown Gabriel. 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:30.080 Left tackle Cam Robinson twelve sacks allow Cambril kids dumped 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.880 Fano Joins. Three other new faces in the trenches guard 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.520 Zion Johnson with the Chargers last year red flag there. 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.760 They also gave up a ton of sacks right tackle 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.920 Titus Howard, former Texan. They did draft tackle Austin Barber 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.680 in the third round as well. Their lines play last 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:53.039 year made it hard for Quinn Shawn Judkins oh three 0:04:53.200 --> 0:05:00.480 six a run, but he's building off a nice rookie year. Nonetheless, 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.120 Ah we the best rookie class. 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.120 Oh for sure, overally, Holy, overly for sure. 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:07.599 He shot down. 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.360 Over eight hundred yards and seventy d's quin shot. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.599 Shut hit for forty six. 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.000 Yards to the house. 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.919 Dylan Sampson also showed some promise thirty three catches a 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.200 couple of receiving touchdowns in his year one. 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.200 Now he's the rider thirty five. 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.600 It took foot right, He's gone. 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.320 Step Harold Finn and Junior ended up leading the team 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.560 in targets receptions with seventy two. 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.880 Her career touchdown catch from Harold fannin. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.719 Yards seven and thirty one and receiving touchdowns with six. 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.520 He'll get even more looks this year with David and Joe, 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.560 who departing scored four times on his way out. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.159 Good shit touchdown. 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:02.159 Jerry Judy returns on the outside fifty catches over six 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:12.440 hundred yards, and Isaiah Bond only eighteen catches but a 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.040 hefty eighteen yards per catch for over three hundred yards 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.039 and his first go of it at the pro level. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:22.120 It hit another home run ball, divy. 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.760 If they can make up any kind of ground on 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.800 the offensive side, they make some noise because they feel 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.200 like their defense is playoff caliber. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.919 Step So why he's blasted. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.720 Despite its own offense working against it at times they 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.680 held teams to twenty two points per game. 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.800 Smit hit and he doesn't throw it. It's Devin Bush 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.200 who smothersome. 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.480 The fourth fewest yards per game and we're seventh hardest 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:46.320 on third down. 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.719 Is actually like a sack. That's a fumball almost because 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.680 I don't think he was throwing it. He just gets hit. 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.200 Strength. Of course, the pass rush top five in sacks. 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.400 That was a party at the quarterback. 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:01.040 Quarterback hits and sack percentage. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.080 Soy, and now he's sacked out at twenty five. 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.279 They are no longer armed, of course, with Miles Garrett, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.279 who racked twenty three of their fifty three sacks. 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.840 He's going down at the ten, Miles Garrett. 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.440 Everybody, but they got a stud back in that blockbuster. 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.600 Jared Verse may have only dropped seven and a half quarterbacks, 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.360 but he was a force in La. 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.400 Come on, hey, I mean right. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:29.200 Well, twenty seven quarterback hits. He's a dude more than 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.520 capable of cracking double digits on the regular. He's only 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.120 entering his third year too. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:38.440 You're not going hard that run. You're not going harder. 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:38.720 Than that boy. 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.960 I don't no Offensive end Isaiah McGuire made eight starts 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:43.960 a couple of sacks. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.400 McGuire and Hall. 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.840 Defensive end Alex Wright fourteen games, five and a half 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:50.040 QB takedowns. 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:51.560 Alex Fright brings them down. 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.000 Defensive tackle Shelby Harris, their depth guy in the middle, 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.600 filled in some from elite Collins, who racked six and 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.640 a half quarterbacks in just twelve games. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:01.120 Rob breaks away. 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:05.800 He's going down q samor skid row more youth gone wild. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.800 Defensive tackle Mason Graham debuted with forty nine tackles, seven 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.240 for a loss, four passes knocked down us five FTEs 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.520 lit up behind him. The reigning defensive Rookie of the 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.560 Year linebacker Carson Swassinger, kicking off his career with one 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.560 hundred and fifty six tackles, two and a half sacks, 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:24.600 and two picks. 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:25.200 You got. 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.240 Brother, he will have a new partner though. They let 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.840 Devin Bush and his one hundred and twenty five tackles 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:42.200 leave for Chicago pick Devin Bushi. Devin Bush, linebacker Jerome 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:46.280 Baker bounced as well, and so did linebacker Mohammed Diabodi. 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:54.880 Seventeen games, forty nine tackles. Swesssinger's new partner, former jack 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.520 Quincy Williams for one hundred plus tackle years on his 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.520 seven year resume. The team games last year eighty three tackles, 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.040 three and a half sacks. 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.479 Fourth set of Gabriel and it's Quincy Williams. 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.400 Their front held runners to four to two per attempt, 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:19.840 which was top ten good. Both their safeties were in 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.960 on the action. Ronnie Hickman with over one hundred tackles 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.360 while holding quarterbacks to a nice low sixty three rating, 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:34.160 two interceptions. Grant Delpit almost ninety tackles while holding his 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:35.800 targets to an eighty five rate. 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:47.320 Happy Happy Barday right now. 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.360 Dropped a second round pick on safety Emmanuel McNeil Warren. 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.480 This is stealing in my opinion. You talk about a 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:53.720 physical presence of someone who could go he has a 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:55.160 hammer in the middle of the field, and then he's 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.680 a turnover machine. We've seen this on a few guys today. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.360 The ability to punch the football out forced fumbles throughout 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.280 his career, and he can take the ball away as well. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.520 Look at his ability to range over the sideline here, 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:07.760 you want to play him in the deep path, he 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:08.640 can do some of that. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.280 Both their primary corners come off good seasons. Denzel Ward 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:18.400 sub ninety eight nine passes defense complain the p Tyson 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.240 Campbell played twelve games with the team after coming over 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:25.280 via trade. Twelve passes defensed, low eighties rate, looked good 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:30.079 in Orange corner. Miles Harden gave up a team high 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.160 five touchdowns in his year two a one ten plus rating. 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.199 Jared Gold checks him into the right play. 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:40.160 Cleveland held quarterbacks to a respectable nineties rate, only gave 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.880 up one hundred and sixty seven passing yards per game, 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:43.760 third fewest. 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.640 Devin Bunch, he's had the twenty and he's at the 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.079 twenty five rock round. 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.160 I've never to hear good. 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:56.320 Andre Schmidtz creak yet another rookie last year made eighty 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.640 eight percent of his field goal tries twenty five for 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:12.440 twenty six on extra points. So they're running it back 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.240 with most of the secondary they rocked with last year. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.160 Added the rookie in the draft said bye bye to 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:23.400 safety Jenkins, but Ward, Campbell, Harden, Delpit, and Hickman all 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.200 return and should walk out Day one Front seven the 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.400 big change verse for Garrett. By all accounts, it was 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:34.439 the right move to make for Cleveland at linebacker Quincy Williams, 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.200 and for Bush. It's still a pretty stout looking group 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.000 with elite youth a key part of its makeup. The 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.000 offense is the same too, unless Watson takes over a 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.320 starting quarterback. That's the big question. Who will it be 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.840 and how well will they work under Monkin? Who's going 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.240 to be calling the offense. The O line is a 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.640 big X factor in all this. Fannin isn't really replacing 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.720 in Djokub, but he's the only semi key playmaker who 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.719 isn't returning. If you go buy their opponents expected win 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.920 totals in twenty twenty six, they have the fourth easiest 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.680 slate in the NFL. Now, their own over under is 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.120 just six point five, so it still projects as an 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.040 uphill climb. But let's apply the idea that they could 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.360 come away with wins against all the teams at seven 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:23.000 point five over unders or less. That gives them victories 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:28.880 over Carolina, the Jets, Tennessee New Orleans, Vegas, Atlanta, the 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.200 Giants and the Colts throw in a win versus Pittsburgh 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:34.959 for good measure, and you have a nine win ceiling. 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.880 That's a tough sell with their quarterback stitch being what 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.200 it is even for a dufus in a bag. The 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.640 game preview guy guess is fewer than seven wins. I 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.040 feel like a six pack is on its way, or 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.600 maybe the six pack I put down is fuzzied. What 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.120 little football sense I have. 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.280 Terrebral towels are out and a sold out crowd at 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:54.760 Actor Sure Stadium is ready. 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.240 It was a time when the Pittsburgh dads of the 0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.960 world had hope they could land Brittany available again. 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:02.640 Hands up, Hands up. 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.360 The Pittsburgh debs were doing their workouts on Nintendo. Whee's 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:11.320 first ever tweet went out. Maybe it announced the hiring 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.440 of Mike Tomlin. Twenty years later they call it X 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.040 and it announced his departure. A Native Yinzer taking the 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.120 reins as we begin a very very new chapter in 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:22.320 the AFC North. 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:23.560 What Bob happened? 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.120 It was two thousand and six, You don't have to 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.119 look it up. And yes, saying Native Yinzer was redundant 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:35.960 like ATM Machine and theory regardless, Mike McCarthy steps in 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.319 for Mike Tomlin, hoping to rekindle a little cheesehead magic. 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.479 Hey got a great quarterback. 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.840 Aaron Rodgers came away from his off season Magical Mystery 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.680 Tour with visions of playing a twenty second year. 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:49.720 What a grab by Connor Haywark. 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:58.280 Rogers impact on Pittsburgh's passing attack wasn't monumental. Two hundred 0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:59.280 and seven yards. 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.559 Per game touchdown John u Spi. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.840 Twenty one tds a mid nineties rate. 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.840 Fire is it for the score. 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.600 They were middle of the pack on third down, twenty 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:11.840 fifth in yards per game. 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.880 Rodgers has time climbing the pocket. Here, cuts Khalil Neck 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:16.760 in the end zone, he drops up. 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.280 Those are the key areas they can fare better at 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:19.720 this year. 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.560 With the ball, we know what kind of game is 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.440 going to be. We got score points, a lot of them. 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.200 They didn't turn the ball over much. 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.840 Throws slammed right, touchdown Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:30.520 It's dk metcap. 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:32.760 We're solid in the red zone for a twenty three 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:37.600 point per game Average's former touchdown Pittsburgh Steeler points per 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.440 game average. Rogers also was pretty decisive. He was quick 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.280 draw McGraw after the snap. 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.080 Here's a pass out to the left Flatford game Well gets. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:46.520 To the edge. 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.640 That minimized the number of backwards plays they were top 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:50.720 ten and sacks taken. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.520 Wow, and he somehow caught it. 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.080 The quick release approach made it harder to rack up 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:07.840 chunk plays. DK Metcalf finished with a career low eight 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:09.080 hundred and fifty yards. 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.920 Boots it out for Metcalf, elevates and makes. 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.800 The catch that still led the team. 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.960 There's a casualty on full display. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.760 And it means he's been good for eight to fifty 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:26.040 plus all seven years in the NFL. Only one other 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.640 receiver with more than one hundred and seventy yards, which 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:31.320 is why nabbing Michael Pittman is such a big deal. 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.120 Pittman led the Colts in receptions with eighty and receiving 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.480 touchdowns with seven over seven hundred and fifty yards. 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.600 He's in he stretched the ball across the goal line. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.800 They also picked up Jeremy Bernard in the second round 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:45.480 of the draft. 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.200 He's instinctive and incredibly smart. When you talk to the 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.880 folks at Alabama and you talk to Ty Simpsons. I 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.080 had a chance to. He raved about the intelligence Jeremy Rnard, 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:55.640 all the different things they can do with him, and 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.160 the toughness that he brings. You see it as a blocker, 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.080 and you see it in his ability to win the 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.520 middle of the field. He's a real crisp route runner, 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.000 and when he gets the ball in his hands, he 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.960 looks like a running back. He's built powerfully that way. 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.840 Making room for him in the locker room. Calvin Austen, 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.320 who departed Pittsburgh off a three hundred and seventy plus 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:14.120 yard year. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:18.680 Touchdown Pittsburgh Steelers. It's Calvin Austin in the end zone. 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:22.040 Moves check this out. Five hundred plus yards year one, 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:26.120 then seven hundred plus, three hundred plus, then six hundred 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:36.920 plus last year, four hundred plus fires down, touchdown. So 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:41.120 a monster year of eight hundred plus coming or bust city, right, 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.280 I don't make up the Origami rules. 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.960 Towards the end zone touchdown, he finds Pat fryar. 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:51.640 Mooon fellow tight end Darnel Washington aka Mountain on legs. 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.760 Oh, he's shut down a man, and then flowers. 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.760 His shoulder, grumbling down the left. 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.720 Sideline career high three hundred and sixty four yards. He 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.680 could probably start at left tackle on a lot of teams. 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.880 And fine Darnell Watchingston. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.359 Who will they trot out as they're starting five on 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.720 that O line. Week one, though, Steelers drafted tackle Max 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.080 Ecanachor with their first round pick. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.919 Basketball player all the way through high school, did not 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.439 play any football doll until he got a junior college. 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.240 But one year of junior college, remember he and his 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.560 family game here when he was thirteen years old from Nigeria. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.520 Then they took guard Jennings Dunker in the third. They 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:32.040 let guard Isaac Sayamalu walk still have left tackle Broderick Jones, 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:35.000 who was blamed for eight sacks and is recovering from 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.280 a neck injury and saw the team decline. Picking up 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.600 his fifth year option guard Mason McCormick gave up six 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.760 and a half sacks. So they could go a number 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:47.879 of directions with this group. At running back, Jalen warren 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:52.160 O touchdown steel career high in rush yards in twenty 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:53.320 twenty five, and he. 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.320 Is in for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:59.119 Touchdown nine hundred and fifty eight and a half dozen 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.080 tdss into the. 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.320 End zone with the Pittsburgh Steelers touchdown. 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.080 Four to three plus yards per carry all four years 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:09.000 in the Bigs. 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:12.440 Straight up the middle of the into the end zone. 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.840 Won't be sharing time with Kenneth Gainwell again. Four hundred 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:19.159 and eighty plus receiving yards, three tds, five hundred and 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.000 thirty plus rush yards five scores hitting at four to 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:22.800 seven per pop. 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:27.680 Took pig Hole into the end zone. Touchdown Pittsburgh Steelers 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:34.760 in his place? Ankle mccringleberry. What first off that gave 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:38.199 Rico Dowdell game preview guy goat status? 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.480 Steal keep pele can't peel sketched. 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.200 Second, that ref clearly doesn't know the. 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.960 Rules and they're gonna get a personal foul. 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.560 Dowdell went for one thousand yards on the ground for 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:52.040 Carolina last year, back to back thousand plus yard seasons. 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:55.080 Half doesn't paint jobs In twenty twenty five on four 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:56.120 to six, a run. 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.600 Gets out of the field for this crucial moment and 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.000 punches it all. But Pittsburgh. 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.840 His offense has ground to make up, and so does 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:03.560 its defense. 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.640 Our father arn heavans. 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.840 Fourth quarter stops be thy name twenty sixth the yards 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:12.400 per game allowed by Hicks. 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.720 He's at the pit boot tap five. 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:18.000 Touchdown, twenty fifth on third down. 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.040 Daln nailers perse touchdown. 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.800 This year they held teams to twenty two a game 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:23.600 that's solid. 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.320 Coming campward with the sack. 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:34.400 Oh wow, fourth most takeaways to keep things in check. 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.480 His most hand, but it's pick up, but it's recovered 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:38.240 by his deelers. 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:41.120 Their pass rush didn't produce a super high pressure rate, 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.520 but forty eight sacks was good for sixth most Jalen 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:48.439 Ryans coming in and they still have a loaded front 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:53.600 that's recover Tja TJ Watt should still be a problem. 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.080 Sack total not as high as expected. Seven and fourteen games. 0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:58.520 The wat FA. 0:19:58.800 --> 0:19:59.840 Old Tom Sat. 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.399 I mean, if he's gonna pass my record, that's one. 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:04.439 Hell of a way to do it. 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:08.600 But three forced fumbles, two I iNTS, splash plays a plenty, 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:09.600 it's kind of his thing. 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:11.760 Ooh, did justin fields get walloped? 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.720 Pittsburgh will test tackles like few others and it's non stop. 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.040 They have three top shelf types out there. 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:20.840 Alex Heismith comes up with his sack. 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.440 Alex Highsmith comes off a career high nine and a 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:27.880 half bag shopping spree. And the guy who gives them 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.639 a rest, Nick Herbig, who sealed the deal seven and 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:35.040 a half times, which, oh, and it doesn't stop in 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.160 the middle. Defensive tackle Derek Harmon, looking to build off 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:41.680 a good rookie year three QB takedowns in twelve games. 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.639 At maya sacked back of the forty one yard line. 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.320 Kean Ubenten with five and a half sacks from the 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:51.440 center of the storm, career high in year number three. 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.240 And the old man Cam Hayward three and a half 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.200 sacks along with over seventy five tackles. 0:20:58.000 --> 0:20:59.479 I bet let that go. 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:01.440 Let that go. You can't run over here. 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:03.560 That was year fifteen. That's ridiculous. 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.280 Don't wait, go ahead, fast head and look at go. 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.199 Their secondary, though, needs to do a better job of 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.240 feeding off heat. They gave up a rating of ninety two. 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:14.879
