1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on Home of the Black and 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I'm Dale Ally here 3 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: with Matt Williamson and get a couple of articles here 4 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about and at the first one 5 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: you sent me the first the second one, I want 6 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: to talk about the first one here. Uh. It kind 7 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: of comes into play this week because of some different 8 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: backup quarterbacks starting around the league. Um Nick Choko, writes 9 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: for NFL dot Com, took a look at his top 10 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: ten backup quarterbacks in Um, We've had these conversations before, 11 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: but it's been a while, and I wonder how preseason 12 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: right right now, so there's a little more to work 13 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: with some of these guys. I wonder. I assume he 14 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: calls Lance a backup, his fields a backup. Yeah, you know, 15 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: some of the rookies are always cloud that conversation. So 16 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: I'm curious what he has to say. His number one backup. 17 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: We go from the top of the bout start with 18 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: the good ones. His number one guy's Gardner Minshew, I 19 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 1: guess I'm fine with that. I mean, I think he's 20 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: Dalton or better, you know what I mean. I mean, 21 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: like if the Bears had Dalton right now, people wouldn't 22 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: be screaming right now. It's probably better than Dalton. Yeah, 23 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: I've changed my opinion a little bit. But when the 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: Eagles traded for him, I thought there's a really good 25 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: chance he beats out Hurts by week six or something. 26 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: And Hurts played better than that though, So you know, 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: I take that back a little, but I like Benshew. 28 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,279 Speaker 1: Number Two guys actually hurt right now. That's Marcus Mariota. 29 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm a still a believer. He's a little robotic and 30 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: the injuries are always loomining what they always happened. I mean, 31 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: he got hurt again. He played once and that's almost 32 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz like, right, But he wentz Is puts themselves 33 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: in harm's away a lot. Mariotas gets hurt a lot. Uh. 34 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: Three is a guy who will be starting for the 35 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: Dolphins this week, Jacobe Brissette, something we brought up a 36 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: lot over the years, you know, I mean, again, I 37 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: retract this statement a little bit too, but I've gone 38 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: so far as to say he wouldn't be the worst 39 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: idea as a possible Bend successor Bridgewater Bridge guy, you know, 40 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: and you can do better than that to be honest 41 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: with you, but I think it with a week of preparation, 42 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: he'll look a lot better than when he was thrown 43 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: in the mix against a good Bill's defense. He's a 44 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: good player, you know, he's one of the top touchdown 45 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: the interception ratio is a starting so I mean there's 46 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: something there. Yeah. One of the there's two misconceptions. One 47 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: is he's a good athlete. He's not a great athlete 48 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: just because he had come in to do like short 49 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: yard and stuff for Philip Rivers. Just men, he was 50 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: a better athlete to Philip Rivers. That three guys r right, 51 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: that's not a really three of us. Actually there's only 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: two of us right now. The thing about Brissette that 53 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: hurts him though, is he'll hold the ball a tick 54 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: longer than you should, which probably don't get coached out 55 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: of him at this point. Uh. Four is Taylor Heineke. 56 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: He's played well. I mean, those guys are like pictures. 57 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: You gotta see him go through the league a couple 58 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: of times. Really very short sample, so very short. But 59 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: he played the box really well. And the speaking of 60 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: short so is he he's yeah, and he's not super 61 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: loaded with talent or physical physicality, but hey, I mean 62 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: he's making What's funny about this position is he's now 63 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: assured to be a tenure player in the NFL with 64 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: a multimillionaire You have a better career than Chase Daniel 65 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: unless unless he goes really bad here over the next 66 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: few weeks. It would have to. I mean, just Kim 67 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: and Minshew are set for life, and nobody in this 68 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: league a long time, whether they play or not. But 69 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: he's been good five is case Keenum. Yeah he's another one. 70 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: We've seen him for a long time, but last we 71 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: saw him he was good enough. And now he'll be 72 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: in the league for eight more years. Yeah, you know, 73 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: maybe it's not maybe all with the Browns. Maybe all 74 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: the Browns. I mean, it seems like ancient history. But basically, 75 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: right after or Stefanski got hired from the Vikes, he 76 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: calls up Case Keenan who was a free agent, and 77 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: brings him in, which wasn't a ring endorsement for Baker, 78 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: gave him money and he was think it makes like 79 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: eight million. Yeah, he was making as much as, if 80 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: not more than Baker Mayfield. Yes, I mean he was 81 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: around the same name backup in the league when he 82 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: got tired when he got signed six. Mason Rudolph. Wow, 83 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure this conversation was going to be like, don't 84 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: you think Mason should be in the top ten? How 85 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: about that? Here's what he said. The NFL world is 86 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: rather familiar with Rudolph for reasons, for reasons, for more 87 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: reasons than his involvement in a brawl at the end 88 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: of the Thursday night game. Yeah, Rudolph was called upon 89 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: to replace Ben Roethlisberger, the quarterback who was not happy 90 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight team when the Steelers spent 91 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: a third round pick on the Oklahoma State product and 92 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: the results weren't great. Rudolph was temporarily replaced by Devlin 93 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: duck Hodges in two thousand nine team before regaining his 94 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: job late and it became apparent he likely wouldn't end 95 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: up as Roethlisberger's successor. But Rupe Rudolph can still be 96 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: counted on to produce in a one game scenario. His 97 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: performance in Pittsburgh season finale didn't earn the Steelers or 98 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: win or eliminate the Browns from playoff contention, something Pittsburgh 99 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: would pay for a week later. People kind of forget that, right, 100 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: but it did underscore what we've come to know about Rudolph. 101 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: The guy can sling it. Rudolph is at least at 102 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: his best when throwing downfield, and he nearly threw the 103 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: Steelers to a win in that Week seventeen affair. He's 104 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: probably not long for Pittsburgh, but he isn't a terrible 105 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: option in a pinch. I don't know that he's not long. 106 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: He's not long for Pittsburgh. That's the only thing I 107 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: disagree with. You know, he signed for next year. I'm 108 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: not gonna kill Nick Chulk. That's who wrote it right. 109 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: If he didn't realize that they put an extra year 110 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: on his contract, that could have easily gone under the radar. 111 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: Um he might be really long for Pittsburgh. It maybe 112 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: the the Jason Garrett Detroy eight, but you know one 113 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: of those Frank Wright guys that last forever behind a 114 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: good starter. Hopefully they gave Dwayne Haskins an opportunity to 115 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: beat Mason Rudolph out this spring. Yeah, that was a whipster, 116 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: ervis huh? I mean, like there it was. He could 117 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: lost his number two job, but he didn't. But he didn't. 118 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: He played every bit like even before Haskins started the 119 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: regular or the preseason finale. Their numbers were almost identical 120 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: other than the fact that Rudolph hadn't let any touchdown drives. Right, 121 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: But he was playing against like everybody wanted. I got 122 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: a lot of this did really well against backups. Haskins 123 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: was playing against backups. When Haskins got the opportunity against 124 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: the Panthers, who, as we've seen, have a pretty good defense, uh, 125 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: he didn't look so good. People forget that, Rudolph. The 126 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: game that he started against the Eagles was against the 127 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: Eagles starters. That was Fletcher, Cox and Hargrave. I mean 128 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: it was the start starter in that defensive front, and 129 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: they moved the ball in that game. Did move the ball. 130 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: He moved the ball all preseason. We didn't score a lot. 131 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: He moved the ball all preseason. And it was a 132 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,799 Speaker 1: honing penalty or a sack. You know, something silly that happened. 133 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: Wasn't his fault. I don't know why people don't unders 134 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: than this, but Rudolph's a much more aggressive passer than Haskins. Yes, 135 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: much much more. It's not even close it And I 136 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: know Haskins has a bigger arm and he's the first 137 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: round pick. But when they pulled the trigger or should 138 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: I drive this ball downfield, Mason's more likely to do it. 139 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: That was my biggest issue with Haskins is that he 140 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: had to if he didn't see a guy running wide 141 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: open down the field, he was checking it down. You know, 142 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: that game against the Panthers, He's on the field. He 143 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: had James Washington and Chase Claypool in the field with him. 144 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: It wasn't all a bunch of you know, I know, 145 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: he didn't have Deonte Johnson and Juju Smith Shuston, but 146 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: he had to legal yeah, profession in. His number one 147 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: target was Ravery McLeod. Yeah, and who isn't running deep 148 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: routes or developing? Like, how do you not at least 149 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: take a chance to throw the ball to the six 150 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: five guy? Yeah? It that that worries me more about 151 00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: Haskins than not being a tremendous athlete or maturity. I mean, 152 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: because I could sort of wash it away last year 153 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: with Washington because not only was he like the most 154 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: conservative quarterback in league, but Alex Smith was next, And 155 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: I'm just like, is that just what they're coaching him? 156 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. And I know that to Alex 157 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: Smith is and maybe that whole offense is designed around that. 158 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: But then he came here with nothing to lose, and 159 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: there were throws he turned down, you know what I mean, 160 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: Like and maybe they'll get coached out of him, but 161 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, he can't afford to be a 162 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: conservative type pastor. He needs to drive all down the 163 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: field with that big arm because he's not gonna run 164 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: around and extent plays either, you know, correct, But I'm 165 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: glad Rudolph got the recognition. Number seven on the list 166 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: is Joe Flacco quarterback to guess the Eagles are loaded there. Yeah, 167 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: maybe a better starter would help him. Those super old 168 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: guys are almost like evaluating rookies at this point, Like, 169 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what he has left. I mean, I'm 170 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: sure he could get it. I mean he could. Josh 171 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: hish McCowen is way out of a game, I'm sure, 172 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: and you know, nowhere to go with the football. But 173 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: and he's probably okay in the room too, But I 174 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: guess that's where he belongs. I mean, he deserves some 175 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: respect too. Eight Jordan's love that's another massive mystery. But 176 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you take a chance on the talent. I 177 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: mean he got at least you have some preseason with 178 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,119 Speaker 1: which the judge in vinally here his nine is justin Fields. 179 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: I think Fields over all those guys, but he just play. 180 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: How do you rack them? I mean him and Lansing 181 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: are tough ones to rack, obviously, I don't I think 182 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: Fields will be a top twenty for sure starter by Thanksgiving. 183 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: We're talking fantasy here now talking. I don't know he's 184 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: gonna be that high as I think he's he'll be 185 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: better in fantasy than he will be. I bet he's 186 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: better in Jalen Hurts this year. He's got more town, 187 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: he's got, he's got more talent. Yeah, I'm a big 188 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: Fields guy, but I'm sure there'll be struggles. Yeah, but 189 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: I think he'll be a starter. He won't be eligible 190 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: next time soon. Ten is Trey Lance. Yeah, I mean 191 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: you put those two together on purpose, kind of like 192 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: I'm mu sure where to put him. You can put 193 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: him one, you can put him thirty two. Now, let 194 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: me ask you if you have any he's got some 195 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: guys that were also just missed the list, Okay, Mitch Drabinsky, Yeah, 196 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: probably Just you know, I think he'd be in my 197 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: top ten. I might put him on their head of Flacco, say, 198 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: Flacco is kind of that that song has been written. 199 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: I might have put Robinsky there and and Jamis Winston 200 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: take a step back behind in established starter kind of 201 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: way and get coached up. I still have hoped for 202 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: Trabisky too. He may have a Mariota like career. You know, Uh, 203 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill, I can't go there. I can't go there. 204 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: I mean, like, I know, Chris Hookes might be listening 205 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: out there, and he you know, he's a huge Taysom 206 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: Hill face. But Hokey, I just can't go there. I mean, 207 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: I think he's a playmaker. He's a football player, and 208 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: I want him to just on punt team. I don't 209 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: want him throwing the ball thirty times a game. I mean, 210 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: you have to do you really have to kind of 211 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: change the whole game plan. When he's a quarterback. This 212 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: sounds quarterbacks even a stretch. I mean, he's a athlete, 213 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,839 Speaker 1: football player, you know. I mean you love to him 214 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: on your team, yeah, but I don't know he's useful. 215 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: And then finally Nick Foles, he's not for me. I 216 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: just can't. He's so up and down. I know, he's 217 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: he's gotten. His hot streaks are fantastic and he'll gets 218 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, but his lows are low. And there's a 219 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: lot more lows than eyes too. And I think Chicago 220 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: give him away for a loaf of bread and nobody's yeah, 221 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: nobody wanted them. Nobody would nobody would bite. They'd probably 222 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: give you pick up. They might be one of those 223 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: Ostwiler situations. Take him in his contract and we'll give 224 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: you a fourth round pick and you can give us 225 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: a seventh back or back of balls. Um, we're not 226 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: two weeks into this season and ESPN has put out 227 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: his NFL pass rushing run stopping blocking towards. You sent 228 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: this to me earlier. Some relevant Steeler action here. Yeah, 229 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: definitely the highest pass rush win rate as an edge defender, 230 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: Number one t J Watt. I mean, I know he 231 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: didn't play a ton of snaps last week, but he 232 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: dominated when he was on the field. Have been dominant 233 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: every step of the way this year. And I don't 234 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: even know if that counts that he think he's drawn 235 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: four holding penalties? Sound even account for that? Does that 236 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: add to get a win for that? Maybe? I think 237 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: so too? Is Joey Bose at which is good, done good, 238 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons at thirty eight percent, Janick and Dockway seven percent. 239 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: That Harold Landry at pent von Miller tied with him 240 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: at thirty percent. Tech McKinley at thirty three percent. Yeah, 241 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: I haven't watched enough of them to see if that's true. 242 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: I mean it is true. I mean they're have a formula, 243 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: so that's interesting. Eighth is Alex Highsmith at thirty two percent. Yeah, 244 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: it's great. Ninth is Jadeveon Clowney at So their edge 245 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: guys are doing something and intent is Durance Armstrong from 246 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I don't know who that is. I don't 247 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: know either. It's two cowboys on the listening. His Parsons 248 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: really didn't play any linebacker. Noticed who's not on there? 249 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: A lot of people. Miles Garrett, Yeah, Mile Garret is 250 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: not U the defensive tackle pass rush win rate guys 251 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: number one, Yvon Hargrave. He's off to a strong start. 252 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: I bring him up a lot. Because of all the 253 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: Steeler recent free agents that left town. I think if 254 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: you gave those guys true serium, they'd be like, that's 255 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: the one that hurt the most. Developed them from a 256 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: small school. It was everything he wanted. The contract wasn't 257 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: crazy big, but it's but he's living up to it 258 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: and the Eagles love them. Um Aaron Donald number two, J. J. 259 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: Watt three, Ben Fresh and yeah, let's see if these 260 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: guys can keep it the old guys and keep it up. 261 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: But he's been a difference maker for them. Morgan Fox 262 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: of the Panthers. I'm sure we'll mention the Panthers a 263 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: little the next segment, but their defense is very interesting 264 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: to me, and young and doing well. Fifth was Quinn 265 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: and Williams six to run Payne and Quinn and Williams 266 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: is a star on a terrible team. Seventh and Dominicans 267 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: Sue not known as a pass rusher, but will push 268 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: the pocket. Eight MALIEK. Collins from the Houston Texans. You'll 269 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: see him tonight. Uh. Yeah, the Texans don't totally stink, 270 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: contrary to popular belief. Kim Hayward ninth on this list 271 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: at six. Um pretty good. A lot of doubles as 272 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: we do not eas the only one on that list 273 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: getting doubled right end. And tenth is Draymond Jones from 274 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: the Broncos. He's kind of a designated pass rush specialist 275 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: and it comes in on the interior. Ohio State guy 276 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: the top ten defensive end outside linebacker run stop win rate. 277 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: So this is the edge guys against the run. Number 278 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: one is Shack Lawson. Yeah, physical guy, fifty per sent. 279 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: They're good against the run in general. Two is Max 280 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: Crosby at that was a little shocked he was on 281 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: the pass rush list when I saw the doc, like 282 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: I thought, I see Crosby. Uh. Third is Rashin Green 283 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: of the Seahawks. Big body guy, carl In the Sebe 284 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: of the Raiders at number four. He's another heavier probably 285 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: looks big. Yeah. These are typically your true defensive ends, 286 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: and we're not gonna see a lot of you know, 287 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: twoy pound outside linebackers on this list. I mean the 288 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: Sebe's closer to Cam than he is Ingram. Yeah, you 289 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: know Robert Quinn. Another one of those guys is fifth, 290 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: Josh Sweat six. Yeah, he's a better player in people 291 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: realized Chase Young at seven. He's not just a pass rusher, 292 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: He's just a force. Cameron Jordan eighth. Cameron Jordan should 293 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: be listed as an edge. Yeah, he plays all over. 294 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: He's more detackled than edge uh, Jinnard Avery at nine 295 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: and Trey Flowers at ten. Avery's another big body guy. 296 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: None of those are super shocking. The top ten defensive 297 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: runs stop win rate guys Roy Lopez of the Texans 298 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: number one. I didn't know who that was. I saw 299 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: the name and pay attention to him tonight. I assume 300 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: he's a nose tackle type, the Von Hamilton's or the 301 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: Jaguars at of nose tackle type. We kind of liked 302 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: him coming up of Ohio State a couple of years ago. 303 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons from the Titans a really good football player, 304 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: as is fully Acus. I can't pronounce from who from 305 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: the Jets. Oh, I know you're talking about big, big, 306 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: big dude. But how about this one. This one would 307 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: surprise Steeler fans because I've seen a lot of hate 308 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: for this guy, Like, oh, he should be able to 309 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: team Chris Wormley. I thought he's been noticeably better this 310 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: year than last. Yeah, you know, like I was kind 311 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: of wishy washy about bringing him back. I remember one 312 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: of your original fifty three projections, like these other young guys, 313 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: maybe or want to keep the younger guys and maybe 314 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: save a little He's been space Whire's no doubt he's 315 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: gonna need him even more with the lulu ou Yeah. 316 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: Uh sixest Sebastian Joseph Day of the Chargers. Jonathan Hankins 317 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: are the Raiders. The Raiders are stopping the run apparently. Yeah, 318 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: their defensive front has been good. Yeah. Kenny Clark from 319 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: Green Bay is he's in that neighborhood. Yeah. Tied with 320 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: Cam Heyward. Yeah, so Heywards on both lists. He's the 321 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: only one on both lists. Well, Paint dron Pain is 322 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: on here. He's number ten top offensive tackle pass block 323 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: win rate. You're not gonna find many Steelers on these lists. 324 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 1: I think there's a Bengal though. Lane Johnson number one 325 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: when he's healthy's great. Yeah. Justin Murray of the Cardinals 326 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: number two. I just knew the name. I don't know 327 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: a ton about. We're doing well in the desert right now. 328 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: David Quessenberry the Titans at three and he wasn't even 329 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: supposed to be a starter. Tied with Morgan Moses Riley Reef. Yeah, 330 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: that's what I say. The Bengals, right, Um, he's Bengals 331 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: right tackle for people, don't We'll see if he's on 332 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: that after this week. Right, they got a little tough 333 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: for test. Yeah. Uh, Green Bay's Billy Turner but has 334 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: gotten the Vikes and Bears. That's not a joke. Um. 335 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: Rob Havenstein tied with with Billy Turner there for six. 336 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: Jack Conklin is eight, Garrett Bowls at nine, see it, right, 337 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 1: Techlin and then Ty sam Breo. Yeah, it's another one 338 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: that they didn't count on starting right them in two 339 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Two weeks Yeah, guard pass rate win rate, 340 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: Quentin Nelson leads away at nine percent. Justin Pew of 341 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Yeah, it's a litt shock. He's still floating around. 342 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 1: But the Cardinals doing all right. Kevin Zeitler at Isaac 343 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: Samalu from the Eagles. Josh Jones again there from the Cardinals. 344 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: The Cardinals pass blocking must be it doesn't hurt when 345 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: you have a Yeah, I mean I assume I think 346 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: that what they do is they give it a two 347 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: and a half second clock, and if you've wanted that 348 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: two and a half seconds, you get a check mark 349 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: in the good column. If you aren't, you go in 350 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 1: the bad column. So I'm not sure it matters who 351 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: your quarterback is, but you also pass protect different for 352 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: Kyler than you do. You don't have as many guys 353 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: in the box, either because they're going forward or they're 354 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: much rushing to a lot of them will just kind 355 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: of keep him in the pocket and one matchup, get 356 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: your hands up because he's short, right, so the defenses 357 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: might play that a little different. Trey Smith from Kansas 358 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: City comes in sea yeah, Joel Betonio seven, Joe Thuney eight, 359 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: so both both guards from the Chiefs on their Shack 360 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: Mason and then Dalton Reisner. It's one little tidbit because 361 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: it goes back to that conversation we're having about the 362 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: Sando article about youth. The Steelers and Chiefs offensive lines, 363 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: by far in the league got way younger than any 364 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: than from where they were last year. But where I'm 365 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: going this is the Ravens got much older, much older, 366 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: you know. So it's a little concerning highest pass block 367 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: wind rate as a center. And there are six guys 368 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: here tied win mate Chase Treader would expect, Bradley Boseman, 369 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey, Nick Gates, who's with the Giants. He has 370 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: got hurt too, he's out of the year, Creed Humphrey 371 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: with Kansas City, and yeah, yeah, pay attention folks that 372 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: I always looked at him as coming off the ball 373 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: and blasting people, but not as good in reversing and protection. 374 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: And again it's been two games, but he's doing something right. Yeah, 375 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: you know it's not all disaster upfront. David Andrews seventh, 376 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: Alex mac eight, Corey Linsley ninth, Frank ragnell Is tenth. Yeah, 377 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: run block win rate Sam caused me from Washington. I 378 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: thought he looked like garbage. Watched him look really really bad, 379 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: did not look good at all. Makes me question. Maybe 380 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: he's better in the run game, but pass blocking he's 381 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: been not good, right and the right up of him 382 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: is really good athletes, you know, good tester, think you'd 383 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: be better in past. They could be better in prep protection, 384 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: but you know that's not necessarily always A uh. Two 385 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: is Jordan Mulatta, Yeah, from the Interesting Dude. Yeah, we're 386 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: talking about his rugby background before those. Jack Conklin third 387 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: on that list, tied with Brian O'Neill, the Viking, Billy 388 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: Turner again showing up on there with the Packers, Jason Peters, Yeah, 389 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: Donovan Smith, Charles Leno, and Mike McGlinchey through your top 390 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: ten there. Yeah, and again these will change a lot 391 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: because it's two weeks and depends, but no, it's good 392 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: to see. Especially the Kendrick Green thing, to me was 393 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: the most no possible thing of the whole article for you. 394 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: Promising guardwin rate, Andrew Norwell leads away on that he 395 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: showed he's being paid a gajillion dollar. Still he's not 396 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: a terrible player. It's not worth being the highest bid guard. Ever. 397 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: You get Josh Jones on there, James Daniel, Ali, Marpett, 398 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: Chris Lyndstrom, Connor Williams, Joe Thuney, Brandon scherf Robert hunt An, 399 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: Xavier Sua, Philo who is on probably not gonna play 400 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 1: in this game. You may not play against the Steelers 401 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: this week. So we've had one Steeler and now two Bengals. 402 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: But the Bengal is probably gonna be short one of them, 403 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: one of those guys. And then the centers with the 404 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: highest run blocking win rate trader Brian Allen from the Chargers, 405 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: Chase Roule a uh yeah with Washington. Matt Hennessy from 406 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: the Falcons. I don't know how you know these winning 407 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: run the ball? Uh Michael Delter with the Dolphins Deeter. Yeah, 408 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: these are very small. Um, Jason Kelsey again, Trey Hopkins 409 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: with the Bengals, Okay I missed that before. Uh, Tyre 410 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: Tyler Hopkins isn't a bad player. I mean we were 411 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: rubbing on their interior, but he's not a bad Towner. 412 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: Tyler bladis with the Cowboys. It is Rodney Hudson with 413 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and Ben Jones with the Titans. As a team, Yeah, 414 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: with the best pass rush win rate Tampa Bay, they're 415 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: also the highest blitz persons. The Chargers are second, The 416 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: Buccaneers are Chargers at sixty two, the Jets at six, 417 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: the Bills at fifty eight percent. The Yeah, the Browns 418 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: are at fifty six percent. The Steelers run there at 419 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: fifty four percent. I expect that to go up for 420 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: the Steelers. Yeah. I really think they'll end up is 421 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: one if they stay reasonably healthy. The Bengals all the 422 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: way down at at six percent. Their d lines not terrible, 423 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: but they don't have great pass right there. Yeah, I 424 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: mean they're paying Hubbard and Hendrickson a lot of money 425 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: to be average. Yeah, team run stop win rate. The 426 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: Raiders at number one at thirty. Yeah, we're talking about 427 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: Hankins and something you Crosby and dock Way never thought 428 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: that would happen. Number two, the Steelers at they are 429 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: tough against doing well against the run. If you look 430 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: on here the Bengals at under reported story that Raiders game. 431 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: The Steelers whipped the Raiders O line in the run 432 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: game whipped them. Yeah, they hit a couple of runs 433 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: late when the Steelers were kind of taking some they 434 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: were going for the football instead of trying to get 435 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: the guy in the ground. That was a dominant performance 436 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: against their run game. Yeah, the Bengals are twenty on 437 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: that list with a win rate, so the Steelers should 438 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: be able to You would hope you have something. Yeah, reader, 439 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: the defensive tackle who was out last year because uh 440 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: sitting out because of COVID is a really good player 441 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: and looks like the investment that they made it him 442 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: two years ago. He's he's wanted to look at kind 443 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: of nose tackle type. This is the big one team 444 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: pass block win rate. Now, I know Steeler fans would 445 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: automatically think thirty second on this list. They're not the 446 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: not great again. Who's worse? Miami Houston, Carolina Houston's lines 447 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: in world trouble tonight Carolina, Atlanta and Dallas. Dallas is 448 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: dead last. That's interesting. They played the Chargers and the Box. Yeah, 449 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: that doesn't help. You have some names, so you know, 450 00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: sometimes you have to kind of look at who you 451 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: played to might correct himself a little. The Bengals on 452 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: that list are seventh. Are they I want people to 453 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: realize their team blast pass block win rate is their 454 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: seventh and they've given up nine sacks. I know, that's 455 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: what I say. I say exact same thing is that 456 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: stands out to me about the first segment we were 457 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: talking about how Burrows you know, sacks can be a 458 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: quarterback stat. They are a quarterback stat as much as 459 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: no line stat. And opposite of last year. It's on 460 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: the quarterback a little bit. Right now, he's getting more comfortable, 461 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: you know, he's holding the ball always a little more 462 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: in decisive, doesn't by time in the pocket quite as 463 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: well as he did with small little movements. So keep 464 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: and eye am burrows feet in this game. The final 465 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: one is team run block win rate. The Steelers are 466 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: actually there thirty one in that one. The team that's 467 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: worse than them the Raiders, because they just played the 468 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: steel But other teams in the Steelers area. There, the 469 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: Patriots and they run the ball. Okay, they run the ball. Yeah. 470 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: The Chargers yeah uh, and they have a good mean, 471 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: they have a good old line on paper, Seattle, that 472 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: bad job. Carson's kind of in the nausea, Harris Land, right, 473 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: the Titans, the Titans, even after last week, what they 474 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: do is they you know, if you look at the 475 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: Patriots and the Titans, they keep doing they keep doing it. 476 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: And even if they're losing up front and only getting 477 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: one or two here and there, you're still in the 478 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: game at the end, and Henry and Harris or Harvard, 479 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: and eventually it pops, you know, Damien Harris popped the 480 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: big run. Even the Raiders, well just use that example. 481 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: You know, the by the end of the game, the 482 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: Raiders were getting some decent runs even though they're getting 483 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 1: whipped up front for fifty minutes. You know, So there 484 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: is something to stick in with it. Yeah, certainly interesting 485 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: there to to look at that. We'll look at that 486 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: every once in a while here, Yeah, maybe, Yeah, as 487 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: things change. It's also a good exercise to show that, 488 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: believe it or not, the Steelers don't have the worst 489 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: offensive line in the history of the game. You know 490 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: he is Matt Williams and I'm Dale Lally. You're listening 491 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: to the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. We're gonna 492 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 1: take another break. We'll be back with more right after 493 00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: this
