1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: At least.

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 2: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: your twenty four to seven Home of the Black and

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: Gold cast in Steelers Nation Radio.

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: And welcome back to our number two of the Drive

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: here on the Steelers Audio Network and Matt Dutch Fantasy

7
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: Football Focused time here. Yep, our DFS lineup. Well, we

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: got hit by the injury bug and Marvin Harrison Junior

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: not finishing. Not only did he not finish the game, Yeah,

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: he left before even caught a ball.

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 3: There was a handful of those around the league. I

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 3: think a lave was close to that. I Dallas Goddard

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: in the league. I mean, there was a handful of

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 3: just got hit early, and Harrison was the worst example.

15
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 3: And it's almost impossible to win a DFS lineup like yeah, absolutely,

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: I mean you could maybe overcome Goddard getting a zero maybe,

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 3: you know.

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, So we finished with one hundred and twelve

19
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: points in change. If we get ten to fifteen points

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: out of Harrison, we're probably in the money on this one.

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: But Jordan Love was a good call. He's been really good.

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: Only ownership with him, and again that was not bad.

23
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 3: Just revolving door wide receiver and tight end. They just

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: have a bunch and they spread it around and he

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: benefits all day long.

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,279
Speaker 1: We had Bucky Irving in the lineup at fifty four hundred.

27
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: Well guess what, fifty five point nine percent of people

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: out there had Bucky Irving in the lineup in the

29
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: particular contest we were in. So the eighteen and a

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: half points we got at him were good.

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 3: But shared them with everybody. Os. Yeah, I don't think

32
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: anybody had Tucker though his uh no running mate. I

33
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: mean they ran all over He'll.

34
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: Be the hot pick up this week. Yeah, we had

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: Jamir Gibbs in the lineup. He had twelve point one points.

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: It wasn't an awful day, but he didn't score.

37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 3: As badly as they beat Dallas. You'd have loved to

38
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: got more points out of him.

39
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: You needed Dallas to keep up a little bit.

40
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: They were never in like third and long. Yeah, it

41
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: wasn't even a close game.

42
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had he had three catches for twenty eight

43
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: yards and sixty three yards rushing, so I mean he

44
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: wasn't He had ninety one total yards, but he didn't

45
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: score and it wasn't eat him enough.

46
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, third downs where you get through your fancy points.

47
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Tolbert at five thousand dollars was owned in seventeen

48
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: point nine percent of leagues. He had four catches for

49
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: forty three yards, so eight point three points. Fine, not

50
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: a killer, but right, not the best call. Lad McConkie

51
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: at forty nine hundred, again we paid down six point

52
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: one percent ownership there. Again, they didn't need to throw

53
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: the football a whole lot. He had four catches forty

54
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: three yards, again eight point three points.

55
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: The process was right, though. He led the team in

56
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: targets by a wide margin. Yeah, they could keep an eye.

57
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: If he stays cheap, I would definitely invest in him. Again.

58
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: Jayden Reid was our pay up at wide receiver at

59
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: seven thousand, fourteen point eight points. Out of him, I

60
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: think he's pretty solid there, But that's just kind of

61
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: an act.

62
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: I left the game for a smidge there too. Yeah.

63
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz, again we weren't necessarily wrong. He had four

64
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: catches but for only twenty seven yards six point seven points.

65
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: One of the problems now that I'm looking at it

66
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: is packers.

67
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: Our guys are in blowouts. They were the ones who

68
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: cut the touchdowns or scored the touchdowns.

69
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were all in big wins on the right offenses.

70
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: You would have It would have been nice to have

71
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Junior in a game that Arizona lost thirty

72
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: four to thirteen because they would have been in throw

73
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: throw throw mode. But he just left early. The Buccaneers

74
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: defense was the right call. Oh yeah, yeah, but they

75
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: were owned in forty five percent of the leagues. We

76
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: got seventeen points out of them. But yeah, soverybody else,

77
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: So did everybody else. So we'll try again next week.

78
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: Rapper wasn't horrible, though, No, And we we almost went

79
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: with Montgomery. We talked about Montgomery instead of Gibbs, just

80
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: a little cheaper. We could have gone cheaper there and

81
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: gone with Montgomery and then maybe paid up at wide receiver.

82
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: It will be nice to have that now, you know, right.

83
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean we spent seventy two hundred dollars

84
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: on Marvin Harrison Junior and got zero.

85
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: Got zero. I'm sure that's a killer. Just about everyone

86
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 3: had him in their lineup did not win.

87
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: He was only owned in three point nine percent.

88
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: Wow, sur Yeah, So.

89
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean if he would have hit, we were really benefited.

90
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: If it's been fine. Yeah.

91
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: If he just does it an average day, catches six

92
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: passes for seventy eight yards and maybe a touchdown, we're good.

93
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: We're fine, We're golden.

94
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: And you get zero in DFS.

95
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: Good luck, Killer, especially for the seventy two hundred dollars player. Yeah,

96
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean that was our most expensive guy in our

97
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: roster and it didn't work out. Looking at this week's

98
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: top performers. Despite all the points that were scored in

99
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 1: the in the league this week, only three three hundred

100
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: yard passers.

101
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: Okay, it was.

102
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield three twenty five, four touchdowns, three interceptions. He

103
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: was not good in that game early on. Yeah, Yeah.

104
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson three twenty three a touchdown. He also had

105
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: like seventy yards rushing. Washington's defenses is bad. And now

106
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: they lost Allen.

107
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 3: Oh did they? Yeah? Allen's out looks like he might

108
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: be out for the season. That's a big loss for them.

109
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: Jared Goff only through he was eighteen to twenty five

110
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: for three hundred and fifteen yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions.

111
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, they went right through Dallas.

112
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: And then again when we talk about the passing, what

113
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers could do throwing the ball more what I'm

114
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: talking about here. Yeah, Dallas's defense was there to take

115
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: if you could throw the football better.

116
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

117
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: The line's are a really good offense. Yeah, no, they've

118
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: they're very good offense. It might be a good matchup

119
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: of you know, they just might match up well with Dallas. Uh.

120
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: And then Gino Smith thirty to fifty two for three twelve,

121
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: one touchdown, two interceptions in that Thursday night game.

122
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: Man losing cause too. Yeah, okay, Oh, I'm surprised the

123
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: more three hundred passers.

124
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels just missed at two sixty well not just missed,

125
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: but he was next up. He was fifth at two

126
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine passing yards, two touchdowns. H Jalen

127
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: Hurts to sixty four and two touchdowns against the Browns.

128
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be worried if Daniels owner, though, No. I

129
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: think he passed every test and didn't.

130
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: Make a big mistake against them, right.

131
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they theyd have any running game as most

132
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: teams don't.

133
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: Against the Ravens, Jordan Love two fifty eight and four

134
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns with an interceptions, touchdowns left and right. Yeah, party

135
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: had two fifty five and three touchdowns and then win

136
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: over Seattle. Uh. Drake May twenty of thirty three for

137
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty three yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions,

138
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: took four sacks, he fumbled. People told, oh, what a

139
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: great debut for Drake May. They were getting smoked in

140
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: that game.

141
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: They even smoked in that game. I thought he was

142
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 3: quite good and very very promising, but he was under

143
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: pressure every snap.

144
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: They can't Their offensive line is the worst line in

145
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: the league. Hands downs, it's it's inoperable. I do think

146
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: May is very fantasy relevant though.

147
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: I mean he isn't quite Jayden Daniels as a runner,

148
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: but he's not far off. And people don't give him

149
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: that kind of credit. And they're always going to be losing.

150
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are going to be losing to Spencer Rattler

151
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: and his debut twenty two of forty for two forty three,

152
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: one touchdown, two interceptions, took five sacks.

153
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: Again, their lines of problem, their offenses crashed. But he

154
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: wasn't bad no NFL standards.

155
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Looking at the running backs, we had five one

156
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: hundred yard rushers this week, just five. Sean Tucker, as

157
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: you mentioned, fourteen for one to thirty six in a touchdown.

158
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: He had a thirty six yard run, so it was

159
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: pretty consistent.

160
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Saints d was really really bad.

161
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: He was playing more of the like a third down

162
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: type role and then the supplemental role. Yeah, and they

163
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: just you know, now it's a three headed backfield.

164
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: Though.

165
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: I wonder if he replaces White as the pass catching back.

166
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 3: I don't know. I have to look into that more.

167
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: But I liked them coming out of Syracuse. I mean,

168
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: like there's ability there. Yeah, because Irving. Irving had fourteen

169
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: for eighty one and a touchdown himself. Like they're just better.

170
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: They're just better. And White's a good pass catcher though,

171
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: I mean that's what he does well. I don't know

172
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: how that's gonna go. Saints are really in trouble. Yeah.

173
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: Uh, Derrick Henry had twenty four for one thirty two

174
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Uh. Naugy Harris fourteen.

175
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: Henry's on pace for twenty five and a half touchdowns

176
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: this year. Yeah, you knew, you knew he's gonna score

177
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: a lot, but I didn't think he'd be this good.

178
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Nage Harris had fourteen for one oh six and a touchdown.

179
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: This is the this is the week we didn't play nine.

180
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: Now we've been leaning because he hadn't been scoring touchdowns

181
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: and it's still been fields when they're in close.

182
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the first running back touchdown of the year.

183
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: And he you know, he had to you know, dive

184
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: the last five yards to get there.

185
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: Just yeah, Yeah, he's a great game. He was phenomenals o.

186
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: It's tremendous.

187
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

188
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: And then Tyler Algierre eighteen for one oh five and

189
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: a touchdown out touched Bijon Robinson in that game. But

190
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: Bijon the first first two touchdown game of his career.

191
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: Bijeon is still very much the passing down back. Yeah.

192
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: I mean that's huge for fantasy as you know, he's

193
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 3: going to catch a lot of balls, but they're pretty

194
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: much a fifty to fifty split in terms of rushes. Yeah,

195
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 3: that's hard, you know, and I was just good. He's

196
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: good player. Arthur Smith. Hard time.

197
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: Carolina's run defense is not No, it's not it's really bad.

198
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 3: It really is.

199
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: Uh. And then the final one hundred yard rusher out there,

200
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon thirteen for one oh two and a touchdown,

201
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: also caught a touchdown. He looks like he's rejuvenated.

202
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he really does and boy, they're two different offenses

203
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: with them without him. Doesn't say a lot for the

204
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: other guys, to be honest, but he's playing very well

205
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: right now.

206
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: Cincinnati make a mistake letting him walk.

207
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe he's never been great in protection, and I

208
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: know that's always been an issue with them. They always

209
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 3: had the p rinds of the world. And I don't

210
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: think the two backs they have now are bad. But

211
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 3: mix is better. If he's bad, as I say, he's better.

212
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 3: And you're trying to win the Super Bowl this year. Yeah,

213
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: he kind of didn't want to pay him a couple

214
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 3: of million. I mean, you're squabbling over a couple million bucks.

215
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they kind of. They won last night,

216
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: but it wasn't pretty.

217
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 3: No, it wasn't. And I think the Giants are better

218
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: than people think too. By the way, I thought they

219
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 3: were the better team, to be very honesty, you know,

220
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 3: they just don't have a quarterback. They had quarterbacks problem.

221
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't mind inheriting that team to take over,

222
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,359
Speaker 3: especially when they had neighbors.

223
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: Isaac Grendo had ninety nine rushing yards just missed. He

224
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: had ten for one ninety nine, had a seventy six

225
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: years April. Don't he him right?

226
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not even sure he's the number one if

227
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: Mason's out.

228
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. JK. Dobbins had twenty five for ninety six in

229
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown against Denver. Also caught Fey passes too. Yeah,

230
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: he's very, very legit. As I mentioned, Bejon had fifteen

231
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: for ninety five and two scores. Tony Pollard seventeen for

232
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: ninety three in a touchdown and the backup got hurt.

233
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: I say, Spears is week to week. I don't think

234
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: he's gonna play this week. Pollard's a good fit there. Yeah, yeah,

235
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 3: he's every week started for short and fantasy. Pollard a

236
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: number one.

237
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: You wish their passing game was better, it would make

238
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: him more valuable.

239
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: Lest through for one hundred yards. He's awful. He's really

240
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: bad awful, and they're not gonna betch him soon. Yeah.

241
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: But as you said, like chewba Hubbard again, eighteen for

242
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: ninety two. Didn't score this week in a game they

243
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: lost by eighteen points. Like bad teams can have running

244
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: you know you're trying.

245
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: To Pollard could do that. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, one

246
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: hundred percent. Plus they'll throw them screens and get him

247
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: involved and.

248
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, DeAndre Swift had ninety plus yards seventeen for ninety

249
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: one in a touchdown. I thought he looked good.

250
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: I think he looks really good. And I've been really hesitant.

251
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: He's such a roller coaster as a player in career,

252
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: and he started the season horrible. Last three or four games,

253
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 3: he's been really really good, and they're starting to figure

254
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: things out and the quarterback's looking better, and they blew

255
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: the doors off the Jags. And that's I mentioned. There's

256
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: some bad das Jags are one of them.

257
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: I heard this last soon as I was driving home

258
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: after we landed. Don't get caught up in the bow

259
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Necks bo Nex was was pure garbage time.

260
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: Pure Garberson.

261
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had fifty seven passing yards entering the fourth

262
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: quarter of that game. He finished with much more than that,

263
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: and he also ran six times for sixty one yards.

264
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 3: But he was their leading rusher.

265
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get his don't get caught up in that.

266
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean for fantasy the rushing is important, of course,

267
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 3: but he's not a good player right now.

268
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: There are a lot of quarterbacks who had fifty or

269
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: more rushing yards this week.

270
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 3: Brother, Yeah, yeah, I guess there are more to think

271
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 3: about it.

272
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: Looking at obviously Nicks at sixty one, Fields had fifty nine,

273
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams had fifty six, Daniel Jones had fifty six,

274
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow had fifty five.

275
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: That was all one run.

276
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: Lamar had eleven for forty Like.

277
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, goes a long way, Yeah, it goes a long way.

278
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: That being said, as I mentioned before, Russell Wilson is

279
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: not a statue.

280
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: No, no, he will get you. I mean he'd be

281
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 3: ten yards a game or so, I mean maybe more more.

282
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: Than Again, he had more three hundred d or three

283
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards last year in fifteen games. Yea, yeah,

284
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: so you know this is not end stage.

285
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 3: Ben.

286
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: Looking at the receivers, uh, you got five, just five

287
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: with over one hundred receiving yards this week.

288
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 3: That makes sense to me. I had three three hundred

289
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 3: our passers too.

290
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: Zay Flowers had nine for one thirty two. I had

291
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: him in my DFS line up, the one that I

292
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: put together.

293
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 3: He's been quite good lately. I mean that the off

294
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: that offense is clicking in all cylinders right now. But

295
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: he's clearly the most featured receiver.

296
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin eleven for one to twenty five and two

297
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: scores great year. Yeah, it's a good player. AJ Brown

298
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: six for one sixteen in a touchdown. That's a weird,

299
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: ugly game, really was, but he came through and yeah, yeah,

300
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: typical AJ Brown type game. Evan Ingram with his return

301
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: ten for one oh two didn't score though, nothing new there.

302
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: No nothing new there. But I mean in the tight

303
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: end landscape, he's easily a top ten guy.

304
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: I would jump right back in on that. Yeah, Lawrence,

305
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: like somebody throws the ball a lot. And then Deebo

306
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: Samuel three for one oh two in a touchdown.

307
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: Okay, it seems like one hundred years ago.

308
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, didn't just missing Trey McBride eight for ninety six.

309
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: Some of that could have been to Harrison and get hurt.

310
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: The Mario Douglas six for one in a touchdown.

311
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: Monitor, I wouldn't get too excited.

312
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: Somebody's got to catch the ball. I mean, if we

313
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: think that May is going to throw.

314
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 3: The ball, right, I mean I do think May is

315
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: not going to have I think he's gonna throw two

316
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: hundred plus all the time.

317
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb had seven for eighty nine but did not

318
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: score a little.

319
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 3: Disappointing I mean, as most first round picks were this year.

320
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 3: But he's not killing you. But he's a little disappointing

321
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: for it. You paid for him.

322
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson had six for seventy eight in a score.

323
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: He really likes Andy Dalton, Yeah, and vice versa very happy, right.

324
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: Devon Veley did it again, four for seventy eight this

325
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: time again that was mop up time.

326
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: But I assume he's the second big game. Yeah.

327
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: T Higgins had seven for seventy seven, didn't score. Stefan

328
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: Diggs six for seventy seven and a touchdown. Jamis and

329
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: Williams only three catches but for seventy six yards in

330
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: a score too. He is Drake London six for seventy

331
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: four in a score.

332
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 3: Outside of Week one, London has been great.

333
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Khalif Raymond four for seventy three.

334
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: Just everybody in that the offense, Yeah, they all.

335
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: Ate Jamar Chase five for seventy two, didn't score. Had

336
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: a tough time getting on the ball though, and he

337
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: kind of complained after the game. Yeah, we won the game,

338
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: but that wasn't Bengals football because you know, they only

339
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: put up seventeen points and Burrow had the long run.

340
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: Brock Bauers nine catches, but for only seventy one yards.

341
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 3: Take it.

342
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman had four for seventy one. I'm not ready

343
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: to buy in on that one yet.

344
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: No, but he's a quality number two for them.

345
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: Cole Kmet five for seventy and.

346
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: Two touchdowns touchdowns. Yeah, he looked good. He did. I've

347
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: been hesitant on him too, but he looks good.

348
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts three for seventy Are you ready to get

349
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: back on the pits bus. They didn't throw for a

350
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: lot of yardage in that game, but they they didn't.

351
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: He got seventy yards. He had a fifty two yard catch.

352
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: I think he's probably a top twelve guy. I mean

353
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: he Bijon's going to get a handful of catches every game.

354
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: London's clearly the one Mooney Pits. Mooney Pits, you know.

355
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: I think that's how that's going to go. Yeah, you know.

356
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz four for sixty eight.

357
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: He's been better than you think too. Pretty solid field

358
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 3: all the time. Now yeah, not snot at all, you know.

359
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: Uh, just looking here, Oh here's another tight end. Grant

360
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: Calcita with the Eagles had four for sixty seven because

361
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: he's got it at the expense of got her.

362
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely got it or was hurt I think on the

363
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: first series and then ruled out. Shortly after.

364
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: We had Mark Andrews sighting three for sixty six in

365
00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown.

366
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: But he's gradually doing more and more. Snap counts are

367
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: going up and things. I'm glad I didn't drop him,

368
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 3: but I'm not happy I drafted him.

369
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not where, You not where you had to

370
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: take him? Uh, and then you had I think that's

371
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: his first touchdown too, That is his first touchdown. Noah

372
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: Fan had sixty six for sixty three.

373
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: He was one of everyone's like favorite preseason sleepers, and

374
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: it's okay. Those other three are just going to get

375
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: more than him. And Walker's now getting more involved in

376
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: the passing game too.

377
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. They throw it a lot of miles

378
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: to feed. They do throw a lot, yeah, despite having

379
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: two good running backs. But their defense can't keep up.

380
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: That's part of the problem problem, right, They're coming back

381
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: to Earth because of the defense. Yeah.

382
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely, some interesting names on there, some guys that you

383
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: can look at. Possibly his pickups there, see if there's

384
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: any other say, I don't.

385
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 3: Think the Waiver Wires is gonna be real rich this week.

386
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: M just looking here at the running backs. Emmanuel Wilson

387
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: at seven for fifty four again definitely should be. Yeah,

388
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: it's a good offense, right. Tracy didn't have a big

389
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: day running the ball against though, But I don't think

390
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: Singletary is getting back on the field for them. That

391
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: was a full time role.

392
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 3: I don't think so either. I think Tracy's an important

393
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 3: guy to them.

394
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: And Pierre Strong gave the Browns a little something eight

395
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: for forty three. He got hurt early in that game, and.

396
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 3: They were talking of that game that they were as

397
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: if Chubb is definitely coming back next week. That seems

398
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: ambitious to me, but.

399
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: We don't know what he's going look like.

400
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I know, I mean it hurts Strong. Yeah, that

401
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 3: offense is really bad. It's broken. It's really bad.

402
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: Sean Watson is he hasn't thrown for two hundred yards

403
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: this year. They're the only team in the league that

404
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: hasn't broken twenty points.

405
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: I still need to read it, but Mike Sando did

406
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 3: a real detailed thing that I cut and pasted and

407
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 3: sent to you about the real way you can get

408
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 3: out of Watson and it's crazy. I mean, the little

409
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 3: I looked at it, like, I mean, I think they're

410
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: suggesting things like the brock Osweiler trade, like take all

411
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: the contract and we'll give you this. Right, they're picking

412
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: second overall, I know, like they might cost like the

413
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 3: second overall pick to get rid of them if you

414
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: have a ton of cap space. I don't know if

415
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: they can go down that road.

416
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: Can they give away more draft picks? So I don't.

417
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a nightmare of where they're at.

418
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: I mean, it was hypothetical. But we were talking on

419
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 3: my podcast today about the Hutchinson injury and it's like,

420
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: could they probe Max Crosby away from the Raiders? Reddick

421
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 3: seems like a target for them for sure. And my

422
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: coach like, what if you gave them everything for Miles Garrett?

423
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 3: Like I understand it, you know, like if you're the Browns,

424
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 3: it's like we're that point.

425
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: You know, if I get two first round picks from

426
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: Myles Garrett, you take you gotta take Miles Garrett and

427
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: you Watson, you got to take him right, you're talking

428
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: about blowing it up, right, this is where you're at.

429
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 3: You're at because you got to get rid of some

430
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 3: serious assets to make up for this air.

431
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: This error just a monumental the worst thing, worst contract

432
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: in NFL history.

433
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 3: Right works, trade wors contract, all the above, he sinks.

434
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: He is awful. Yep, let's get to a break. That's

435
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: gonna do it for the Fantasy football focus. He is

436
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lolly. You're listening to the

437
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network, Matt and I'll

438
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: be back with more right after this.

439
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

440
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 2: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black

441
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: and Gold Steelers Nation.

442
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: Radio, and we are back. I am Dale Lolly. He

443
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: is the Matt Williamson and Matt at four and two

444
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Now, if the playoffs begin today, and I

445
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: understand the playoffs do not begin today seventy even to

446
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: over yet they are, they would be the number five

447
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: seed in the AF seed. They would play the Buffalo

448
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: Bills in the opening round. That could change, however, tonight.

449
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 1: I would imagine if the Jets win that game tonight,

450
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: the Jets move in the first place in the af

451
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: the AFC East. They're currently in the ninth spot. Right

452
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: now in the AFC because they're two and three. So

453
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: who do we want to win tonight? Who do you

454
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: think is a more dangerous team?

455
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 3: Buffalo? But the Jets are next on the Jets next.

456
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 3: I'd like bad Mojo to sweep the Jets for at

457
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 3: least a couple of weeks.

458
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: Worse than what's already happened. They just fired to come

459
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: and there's money already. I mean, I still think that

460
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: playing overseas and not having the bye week this week

461
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: is craziness. I mean, they get one extra day playing

462
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: on Monday night, but then they got a short week

463
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: to come here. I mean, I think you're getting the

464
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: I say this whole time. You're getting them at a

465
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: good time. You know, there's never a bad time, you know.

466
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: I mean the league just that way. But I wouldn't

467
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: mind them getting their doors blown off the night. The

468
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: big thing here right now for the Steelers is that

469
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: they're three to one in the conference.

470
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's huge if you look.

471
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: At it right now, Houston is four and oh in

472
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: the conference. They've got the most conference wins. Kansas City

473
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: is three and oh in the conference, and then the

474
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: Steelers are sitting there at three and one in the conference.

475
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: Buffalo's two and two in the conference. Baltimore is two

476
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: and two in the conference.

477
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 3: So apparently, if the season ended today, Baltimore would be

478
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: the division champ.

479
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: They win the tiebreaker based on the West best win

480
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: percentage in division games because they played one division game.

481
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: You Steelers haven't played any when.

482
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I assume that.

483
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: That's the only difference between the two teams right now.

484
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 3: Right, So, I mean, obviously I have six more to

485
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: play and they have five more to play.

486
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: If the Steelers had, if they both played a division game,

487
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: and we're both want to know, the Steelers would have

488
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: the tie breaker based on the conference record.

489
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 3: So if the Steer would beat the Browns yesterday, they

490
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: would be in first place first place, ok, yeah, because

491
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 3: they is having a chance to be.

492
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: The division Obviously, there's a lot to be determined yet.

493
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: Of course, Cincinnati, which had been the last team number

494
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: sixteen in the conference, got that win yesterday, but.

495
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: Then that would eliminate them if they wouldn't have.

496
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: But it's against an NFC team, so it didn't help.

497
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: They're zero and three right now in the conference, brutal.

498
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: But if they lost, I think, oh, they've been deep trouble.

499
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: They're also one in the division and they've lost three

500
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: home games.

501
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, all their tie breakers stuff, all the kind of

502
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 3: stuff is good stuff as well, it's not good. There's

503
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 3: some big wins.

504
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cleveland's now one and five.

505
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like since he almost has to

506
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 3: like win out in the division. Yeah, you know, something's crazy,

507
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 3: like something crazy.

508
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cleveland is one in five, but they're only one

509
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: in one in the conference. They've only played two AFC

510
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: games and they're one in five.

511
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: I don't seem getting better anytime soon.

512
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't see that either. They're still not the worst team.

513
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: New England and Jacksonville are both below them in the

514
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: quote unquote playoffs standings based on tiebreakers and all that

515
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: good stuff. Cleveland's done though, what that Cleveland's done.

516
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 3: Cleveland's officially done. Yeah, Like, I don't know they're gonna

517
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 3: trade Miles Garrett to the Lions. I mean, I just

518
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 3: threw that out there, But I'm trading Maury Cooper. I'm trading.

519
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 3: I mean, like, you gotta start moving parts like that.

520
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 3: I bet they're worst as the season goes on, roster wise, Yeah,

521
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 3: and maybe the quarterback positions or if they put Winston In.

522
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: They're not going to do that, though Kevin Stefanski came out.

523
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't think he can. I think the owner says, no,

524
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: you're playing. We're locked in with this guy for seventy

525
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: three million dollars the next two seasons. You're playing him. Yeah, yeah,

526
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: I'm paying them. You're playing them, and if.

527
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 3: You cut him, it's like one hundred and seventy million.

528
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: It's amazing what the loss is there.

529
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 3: And they kick the can down the road recently again, So.

530
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: The teams that are out of it right now, Tennessee's

531
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: one and four, Yeah, they're done. They're done. Levis is bad,

532
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland's one and five. New England's one and five, Jacksonville's

533
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: one and five. Over in the NFC, you've got Carolinaville's

534
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: definitely done. Yeah, they're one and five, they're done. Carolina's

535
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: one and five. The Rams are one and four.

536
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 3: Not quite done, I mean real close. I mean, I know,

537
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 3: mathematically it's really hard. And I think the NFC is

538
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: harder to get to the seventh spot than the AFC

539
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: is right now.

540
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: It is because the seventh spot right now in the NFC,

541
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears at four and two would not be

542
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: in the playoff they're playing well. The Eagles at three

543
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: and two would not be in the playoffs.

544
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 3: I didn't fact check this, but I heard somebody on

545
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: a podcast say it that the four best.

546
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: Point differentials were all in the A.

547
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: They're all in the NFC and Hork because they're all

548
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: playing the.

549
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: These crap teams from the AFC.

550
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 3: Oh they've been killing them too. Yeah, but boy, that

551
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 3: that division's on fire right now. It's it's playing well. Uh.

552
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: The only team right now in the NFC who's in

553
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs with a five hundred world worst record is

554
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: San Francisco at three and three BECA because they're winning

555
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: the division up giants. In the AFC. The seventh spot

556
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: right now is Indianapolis at three and three.

557
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: I guess that adds up, but I don't think they're good. Yeah.

558
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: So Cincinnati is now one game out of a playoff spot,

559
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: as is Miami, as are the Jets, which if they

560
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: win tonight, they move into that and that would drop

561
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: I believe we'll find I don't know this for sure,

562
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 1: but let's see that. That will put the Bills at

563
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: two and three in the conference. Yeah, and the Colts

564
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: are two and two in the conference, so the Colts

565
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: would move into they would stay in that seventh spot,

566
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: the Bills would be out of the playoffs.

567
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: Wow, real quick, you kind of breezed over the Colts

568
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 3: Sean Stike and Shane Stike and said within the hour

569
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: that Richardson's playing this week. He's starting this week. Yeah,

570
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: like Fiko gets a better chance to Wayan.

571
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: He really does.

572
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 3: I mean, he does. I mean, but the Levice's and

573
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 3: Richardson's of the world are going to play for a

574
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 3: while and probably not elevating them anywhere, you know.

575
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's really when you start looking at it,

576
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: Denver's not going anywhere. No, they won three in a row,

577
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: but they're not good. Yeah, they're now three and three.

578
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: I still think that I'm down on the Chargers overall,

579
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: but I think they could be one of the seventh.

580
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: They're in the sixth spot, right yeah. Yeah, And they

581
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: play defense and run the ball, and they'll beat bad teams. Yeah,

582
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's what they've got the next three weeks.

583
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: They got bad bad football. They get New Orleans at

584
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: the right teams like that.

585
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 3: I think they kep a real good chance to get in.

586
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 3: How the falling.

587
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: So why I started this conversation was Okay, so the

588
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: teams that are done done, yeah, all the one win teams,

589
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: the one win teams are definitely there. It's time to

590
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: start looking elsewhere. So you get the Titans teams win team,

591
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: ok yeah, Yeah, there's no Cleveland's not going to trade

592
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: to Steelers anybody. Amari Cooper is not coming to Pittsburgh.

593
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: He could go to the Chiefs or wherever.

594
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: But the Patriots don't have anybody that trade for Jacksonville

595
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: and Tennessee. However, got some receivers.

596
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: That I would hate to be in this market, But

597
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 3: is the time to look for a lineman too.

598
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't you're gonna get Dylan cooked back this week.

599
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: We'll see what how bad it is with Zach Frazier.

600
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: I mean, we could have this conversation tomorrow, maybe today,

601
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 3: but I don't think it's that point.

602
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, and who has extra offense I've seen.

603
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 3: That's why I don't want to go down that road.

604
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: And the worst isle in the world to shop in. Yeah,

605
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 3: but if there's an expiring contract in Jacksonville or Tennessee

606
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 3: or something, you can get him for a six round

607
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 3: pick for insurance.

608
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: Maybe, but I think I know you're going there's past

609
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: catchers and those pass catchers in those two towns that

610
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: aren't being used.

611
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 3: To me.

612
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: I think as a tract, i'd look at Christian Kirk

613
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville and can say, hey, he's your third guy

614
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: right now, you're not He's not super expensive. I think

615
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: his contract. I looked it up on Sunday as I'm

616
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: watching that game. I'm like, the rest of the season,

617
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: he's like eight million dollars.

618
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could, you could stuff like that. He's worth it?

619
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 3: Is he up after the year.

620
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: He's got another year after this.

621
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 3: I didn't think so. Yeah. And they also just used

622
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 3: the first round pick on receiver and got one of

623
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 3: their best receivers. Ingraham back like doesn't even hurt them

624
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: that much on game day the way they're using them. Yeah,

625
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 3: I would have no interest in Gabe Davis. curR would

626
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: be the only one I'd want from the team that.

627
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are paid to get gave Davis to begin with,

628
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: and that move is a bad move, but they paid

629
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: him so they want to. You don't want to play him.

630
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: If i'm Christian Kirk would be a great target for me.

631
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned Ridley off the air. Hopkins is the

632
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: name we've brought up here and there.

633
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: They're both older, though I know, I don't know good

634
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: right now?

635
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: What about a Lockett if they could lose another one

636
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 3: or two? I mean there's a connection there with Wilson,

637
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 3: and they would be cheap options giving up a priority

638
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 3: pick for them. Could you get Cooper Cup.

639
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: Cooper one, Cooper Cup.

640
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 3: I don't want to giving up for those guys. I'm

641
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: sure there's even more names. Who are the two loss

642
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: teams like two win teams?

643
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: Teams you're looking at the Jets if I mean, if

644
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: the Jets lose tonight.

645
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 3: You get Mike Williams for power pennies.

646
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know that you want to go

647
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: that route. He hasn't done anything. Miami's two and three,

648
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: they're not anybody. Yeah, they're waiting for two. The Raiders

649
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: are two and four.

650
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: We know that name.

651
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, although Jakobe Myers would be very useful here.

652
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: He'd be interesting to me.

653
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: No question the Bengals are gonna trade to Higgins. No,

654
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 3: maybe they would trade Higgins with another loss or two somewhere.

655
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think their schedule gets a little easier now

656
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: as well.

657
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,719
Speaker 3: They would have lost last night, Maybe you could if

658
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 3: someone would try him away.

659
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: They got the Browns next week, then they play the

660
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: Eagles at home, then they get the Raiders at home.

661
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: By the way, Eagles don't look like they don't look

662
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: to a challenge.

663
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not in the playoffs right now.

664
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: If they're in the Steelers schedule coming out.

665
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: And then and then they're at the Ravens at the Chargers,

666
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: Steelers at home at the Cowboys, things get a little

667
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: more dicey.

668
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 3: By trade deadline time. They should still be in it then. Yeah,

669
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 3: last night would catastrophic.

670
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would.

671
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 3: I would.

672
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: I'd be on the phone with Jacksonville for sure.

673
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: I think that's the best and most logical target we

674
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: brought up. Would mind have him for next year too?

675
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: Again, I think with the Giants, Slaton would still interest

676
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: me a lot, super cheap.

677
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 3: Are they ready to be done with him?

678
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: They're two and four?

679
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, losing last night goes a long way with that.

680
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 3: He would be their Steelers second best receiver. Yeah, and

681
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: useful every time he's out he makes wives.

682
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: Obviously, you're not trading back for Deontay Johnson Carolina, No.

683
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 3: But I think he could get traded. Yeah, like you're

684
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 3: not gonna get Cooper, Higgins or Johnson, but they could

685
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 3: go to tea other teams that eat them, you know,

686
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 3: not you know, Chiefs or whoever.

687
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: That's just some of the teams. I'd be looking at there, like, hey,

688
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: you guys ready to and I understand you're gonna make

689
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: that international calls with Jacksonville. They're not making a trade

690
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: this week while they're in London, I guess. And maybe

691
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: they win planes work from there. Maybe they win in

692
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: London this week. I don't know who they play. They

693
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: play the Patriots over there. Yeah, they play the Patriots,

694
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: so they should win that one. But they're still going

695
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: to be two and five. Two and five.

696
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 3: I thought the coach might have got fired if they

697
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: weren't spending two weeks over there. Yeah, you know, let's

698
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 3: take it on a boat.

699
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: Bad football team.

700
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 3: That's a bad football team, and they were sabotaging themselves

701
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 3: and they're a tough watch, kind of like the Raiders

702
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 3: a little bit.

703
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Titans this week, they get the Bills at Buffalo.

704
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 3: Maybe one more losses the move for those guys.

705
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: They're not going to win that one.

706
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if they would trade Ridley though, I

707
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 3: mean he just signed them. That's a rare the NFL.

708
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: He's complaining, and I don't blame him.

709
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Hopkins would guess would be the guy that

710
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: you go after in that situation. But he's like lock it,

711
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: like I'm giving you a six round pick.

712
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

713
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're just trying to get that contract

714
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: off the books and order and right.

715
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

716
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: I don't even know what Hopkins is making this year

717
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: the rest of the way, but it's probably not cheap.

718
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: He signed that a couple of years ago.

719
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 3: I bet they owe another ten or something like that,

720
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: maybe more.

721
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: And he's not a separator, never has tho No, And

722
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: that's part of the problem right now is that the

723
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: other guys aren't separated.

724
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 3: I'd have to study more. But he started the season

725
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 3: very slow and injured. It seems like he's doing more now.

726
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: But he's only eight point two in the base salary,

727
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: so you're looking at basically a two thirds of that

728
00:31:59,200 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: about five.

729
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: I think he's not up after the year, Yes he is.

730
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: He's got voidable years after this that he's an unrestricted

731
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: free agent at the end of the season, So I mean.

732
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: You're a lot better with him for a six round pick.

733
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 3: I mean I'm not even giving you a fourth Yeah.

734
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: I mean he's old and you can get cheap.

735
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, just something to get around.

736
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think you need to explore all those often. Yeah,

737
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 3: just for the teams that are Do you think Adams

738
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 3: gets moved? I thought it happened by now. The word

739
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 3: out there is that you know, one of the big

740
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 3: wig schefter or one of them said well now there

741
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: might be friends again or whatever. Because he likes Aidan O'Connell.

742
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: He couldn't have been happy about what he saw Sunday.

743
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: How could you possibly like that situation? Yeah, I don't

744
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 3: think they'll move.

745
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: The contract with him though. Is the thing that's it's

746
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: a lot of money, it is Harry. Yeah, and he's

747
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: the best player we've mentioned. Yeah, but I don't know

748
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: that you need the best player, right.

749
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 3: I mean, if that costs you a second round pick

750
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: as opposed to a six round pick for one of

751
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: the other huge difference, price value and all that. Kirk

752
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 3: seems like the most logical.

753
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: Kirk would be the guy that would make the most

754
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: sense because I think he can get him, even if

755
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: it's a five.

756
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 3: He's got some toughness to him. A block too. He

757
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 3: plays slot, he could play outside. You could add a

758
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 3: first round pick at any receiver spot and he would

759
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 3: fit in the gaps, you know what I mean, or

760
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 3: second round. It does not be a first round pick,

761
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 3: but you know, whatever.

762
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: Maybe be you know, it's kind of a steadying factor.

763
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: Better on the block wouldn't hurt.

764
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, So just something to kick around out there. Maybe

765
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: omar Con is listening to the show and hey's or

766
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: any he's already got those ideas and I think he's

767
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: probably been down the road, yeah, talked about these things.

768
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: But anyways, let's get through another break. He is the

769
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lolly. You're listening to the Drive.

770
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: You're on the Steelers Audio Network, Matt and I will

771
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: be back with more right after this.

772
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

773
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

774
00:33:58,440 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: Gold Steal.

775
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 3: There's Nation Radio.

776
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: And we are back. I'm Dale Lolly. He is the

777
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson and we're going through the aftermath of a

778
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 1: thirty two to thirteen win by the Steelers in Las

779
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: Vegas on Sunday. And as I mentioned when we had

780
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: Rob King on earlier in the show, the takeover of

781
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: the stadium by Steeler fans, it looked overwhelming on team

782
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: might have been the biggest one I've ever seen.

783
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 3: Really adds up. I mean, I think one of us

784
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 3: asked Missy something along those lines. Could this be? I mean,

785
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 3: such a destination spot, so easy to get to, different

786
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 3: climate than this for a fun getaway.

787
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: But how many Steeler fans do you think actually live

788
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: in Vegas? Because that's just I think was kind of

789
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: like they're saying it was going to be fifty to fifty.

790
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 3: It was not fifty to fifty Vegas area codes bought it,

791
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 3: and they are Steeler fans, right right.

792
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: I translat Penix and they drove up the You know,

793
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: I had a friend that he works as a spot

794
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: at times. He used to, you know, be the producer

795
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: on the for the game day broadcast, and he lives

796
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: in Phoenix. Now he drove like three and a half

797
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: four hours up from Phoenix.

798
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: Too, And it's fun.

799
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm sure you know the ticket, but you

800
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: know they're they're judging all that stuff. They're saying, oh,

801
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: these this person's from Phoenix are coming from because they're

802
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: a Raiders fan.

803
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah right. The Raiders fans live in Oakland and l A. Yeah,

804
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 3: I don't even think they live in Vegas all that.

805
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 3: I mean, they're new there. That's unhome to them, I

806
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 3: would think, you get. I bet there's more. I bet

807
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 3: Vegas fans in the city of Las Vegas don't make

808
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 3: up fifty percent of the NFL fans. I bet everyone

809
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 3: else beats the race. You know what I mean.

810
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: Nobody's from Vegas, right, exactly?

811
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean everyone just brings their team there. Nobody

812
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 3: grew up in Vegas as a Raider fan necessarily, right, you.

813
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: Know that didn't I mean maybe five people, right. I

814
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: found it humorous that they gave away free towels.

815
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 3: They all do.

816
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: They every stadium we go to on the road, does

817
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: Does that happen all the time though, there's always right, Yeah, okay,

818
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: it's everywhere. That's what they do to try to combat

819
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: to deeler fans with the terrible towels, because it's a

820
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: bad look. Well, when your team is coming out of

821
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: the tunnel, when everybody's booing your team and they see

822
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: all the yellow towels, right.

823
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 3: And it didn't do its job by giving them away.

824
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's a lot of them laying on in

825
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 3: the trash and got thrown away. That's crazy to me.

826
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 3: And so it sounded like there was several Steeler events,

827
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 3: you know, there was one you were we did, Yeah,

828
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 3: we did the Roadboyer party, and Rob was talking about

829
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 3: how on all the streets there's black and gold and

830
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 3: like the whole town you felt it, even like not

831
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: on game day in the state.

832
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: We were at the we were at the road Warrior

833
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: party and I went to the restroom and I walked

834
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: in there and it was me and there were two

835
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: guys who apparently were Raider fans in there, and They're

836
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: talking back and forth with each other and I'm standing

837
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: behind them waiting and and the one guy guess, I

838
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: can't believe you brought me to this Steeler bar. What

839
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: the heck is this? You know, this is this is

840
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: last I had no idea that they were walking into us,

841
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: you know, to this and we got to get out

842
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: of here.

843
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

844
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: Not a not a good look, I'm sure. Yeah, So

845
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: I mean, kudos to them. And I got to tell

846
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: you the fans at Akreshure Stadium, this Sunday.

847
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 3: You got to bring it. Yeah, that crowd brought it.

848
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: You got to bring it like that. I mean you're capable.

849
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: We've seen it before.

850
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 3: They got it in them. I mean they stood the

851
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 3: delay the night game last time. They was absolutely yeah.

852
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: I mean so now you got to another win under

853
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 3: your belt, more difficult opponent, you know. I mean it

854
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 3: should be a good environment. I would think this week, Yeah.

855
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: Don't let the Jets fans come down and.

856
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 3: Maybe a little green, but I wouldn't think a time.

857
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 3: Wouldn't think of time, especially they lose tonight.

858
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, but uh yeah, I mean that that crowd

859
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: was rocking and affected the game.

860
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 3: I say, did it affect the game of fair amount?

861
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 3: I mean third downs and true passing situations you know,

862
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 3: certainly worked in the Steelers favor. Yeah.

863
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: Made it certainly harder on the on the home team

864
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: to operate. I mean there was no eff Yeah. And

865
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: uh you know, when you when you your offense has

866
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: the football in your own stadium and the chance of

867
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: defense are audible, I mean you gotta be staying on

868
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: the side of one going what the heck?

869
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 3: But what on here?

870
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 1: This is what they bought into? Oh when they moved

871
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: the team there. It's almost like when the Chargers went

872
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: to lah, like that's what you're gonna get. You have

873
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: no right, right, you set yourself up for this because

874
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: a those Steelers every week. But still the Raiders went

875
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: to a destination city and it's easy to get to.

876
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: It's a place everybody you know wants to go.

877
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 3: I would think Steelers, aside that stadium gets the most

878
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 3: road fans in the league. Good number for all those reasons.

879
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: I just remember the only thing that I've ever seen

880
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: quite like that for a Steeler road game was the

881
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: game in LA when they played the Chargers at the

882
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: Soccer Stadium.

883
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there was like thirty thousand and it was

884
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 3: like all it was all Steeler fan.

885
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: There was a tiny, intimate setting for an NFL game.

886
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: It's probably the smallest stadium I've ever covered, and I've

887
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: covered I've covered steel games and I did account. This

888
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: was probably ten years ago and it was over seventy

889
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: stadiums at that point.

890
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: You're probably over eighty.

891
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm over that now, right, And that one was the biggest,

892
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: Like it's a it was the smallest stadium, but it

893
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: was the biggest pro Steeler crowd. I think I've ever seen.

894
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 3: The highest percentage of Steelers on the road.

895
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this one, this one tought that.

896
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 3: Wow. And I'm sure it was louder because's bigger and

897
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 3: you're indoors, and it's I've heard the stadium itself is

898
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 3: awesome though.

899
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: It's nice stadium, Yeah, it really is. I mean, they

900
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: did a good job with it in press box and

901
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: the only thing I don't I don't like the indoor

902
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: press boxes that don't have glass. And I know this

903
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: sounds stupid, but they have. You're getting all the crowd

904
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 1: noise in the press.

905
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 3: Box right right, like you're part of the crowd.

906
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: Crowd, so they but they still had the in stadium.

907
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: The in the press box announcements. I couldn't hear any

908
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: of it.

909
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 3: Nobody could not.

910
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: Nobody could. Like the guy might as well be talking

911
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: to himself.

912
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably don't even know what those are.

913
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, like but he announces what the play was

914
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: after it happened. Because Apple buy where you know, five

915
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: hundred feet in the air, and.

916
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 3: They'll they'll tell you things like this linebacker's question about

917
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 3: the things you need to know right right, you know,

918
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 3: make announcements about different things that are happening, you know,

919
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 3: those kind of things, and I couldn't hear any of it.

920
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,959
Speaker 1: They could even hear when the officials on the field,

921
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: we're making an announcement about a penalty or something like that.

922
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: I had to look at the TV to see who

923
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: the penalty was on.

924
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 3: Oh okay, things of that nature, because and if it

925
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 3: had been glassed in, you could do your job easier.

926
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: It makes it easier.

927
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but it is.

928
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's nice goal, but yeah, you're kind of

929
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: getting the whole atmosphere, you know, when you can hear

930
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: that stuff, and they do it on the game broadcast,

931
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: they'll leave the windows open or what have you if

932
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: they do have windows there. Yeah, so you get the crowd.

933
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: But I mean Steelers can do that too. They can

934
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: have the window open, and that's you know how I

935
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: knew how loud it was. Yeah, the Steeler fins were. Yeah,

936
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean might as well have been sitting in the crowd.

937
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 3: So I haven't been in many press boxes. Are two

938
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 3: thirds of them three orders of them windowed? Yeah.

939
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: The indoor stadiums are really the ones that the domes

940
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: and things that nature, and even some of the domes

941
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: have windows in the press box.

942
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 3: Some of them don't. That's much different.

943
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: I think I'm trying to think. No, I think Atlanta

944
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: is enclosed. I know Minneapolis is. There's some of that

945
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: are definitely enclosed that you know. It just makes it easier. Yeah,

946
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: you don't want your head ringing while you're writing stories

947
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: and taking notes. And so last week, and I think

948
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: I might I don't know if I brought this up

949
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: on the show or not. On the Manning cast last

950
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: Monday night, I think maybe I did bring this up,

951
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: and somebody wrote a story about there. It was kind

952
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: of went viral on on the uh the ex twitter,

953
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: the Belichick accused the culture of cheating by piping in sound.

954
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, no, they cheated. They ated, and

955
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: they got caught, and they got caught. And after a

956
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: game against the Steelers, it was Ed Buchad who broke

957
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: it because and Dan Rooney, they were down on the

958
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: field and they're looking they get the speakers sitting next

959
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: to the stands and they're piping in. You know, they're

960
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: pointed at the field and pointed at this, you know,

961
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: the visiting team bench, and they were piping crowd noise

962
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: in and that is illegal. That you can't do that.

963
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: And that was an open air press box, and I

964
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: remember that was the loudest it's ever been. My ears

965
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: rang for three days after that one.

966
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 3: It was like being in the front road and tal concert. Yeah,

967
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: I mean it was like that.

968
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: The person you were sitting next to in the press box,

969
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: you couldn't you couldn't talk, You couldn't communicate. You like

970
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: even if you got up and yelled in their ear,

971
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: it didn't matter.

972
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 3: Could like text them or write a note understanding the

973
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 3: two of us are just close together, right, wow.

974
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: Just insane.

975
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 3: I forget what the penalty was, but it should be steep.

976
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: It was steep.

977
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you think it was the first round pick

978
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 3: or anything, but it should be steep. Yeah.

979
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: But those, you know, to compare that the.

980
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 3: Deflating footballs, I mean, like even clothes, Yeah, I mean

981
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,200

00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 3: crowd noise. Yeah. Vegas food press box. What do they

Speaker 1: It's not.

1017
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 3: It's not very good. Defense is pretty good overall.

1018
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's hard to pass against them, and maybe

1019
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: that's you know, they're kind of a run funnel team.

1020
