1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on your home of the Black

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: and Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: Lally here with Matt Williams, and this is the Drive

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: on Steelers Nation Radio. And Matt, I thought one of

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: the keys to two Sunday's Steelers win over the Tampa

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers was their ability to generate a little bit

7
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: of a running game, a little bit using some of

8
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: the receivers. It was non traditional, but they were able

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: to at least get some yardage on first downs when

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: they decided to do that. Uh. And their ability to

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: stop the the Uh. Yeah, I keep calling them patriots,

12
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: but they they allowed seventy five yards but on twenty

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: six carrys its two point nine yards of carry in

14
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: stopping them in some short yardage situations and just uh,

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, keeping Brady in some longer sit stuations. I noted, Um,

16
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: I think it was right when right before Pickett went out,

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: Brady was still under fifty percent completion. He misses some

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: throws nowadays. Um. One of the keys that we mentioned.

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: You know, We'll be honest, anyone listened to you last week,

20
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: and we didn't give him a whole lot of Oh

21
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: if they just do this so win, you know, I

22
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: mean that's not what we thought at the time, not

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: nobody did. But one thing we kept bringing up was

24
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: how about just forcing them to run the football because

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: they're not very good at it? Yeah, daring, and I

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: didn't think they'd end up with what carries did you

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: say from you know, I mean probably thirty carries overall overall? Um,

28
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, the last couple of weeks, they've been unbelievably

29
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: lopsided towards throw, throw, throw, throwth row. I'm surprised that

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: they kind of took the cheese. I would have kept throwing,

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: although that wasn't super successful either. I think you have

32
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: to credit the defense all around. I mean, they were

33
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: very fundamentally sound. I think this is a theme of

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: the entire game and really the season. And I very

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: much believe a lot as many games are one in

36
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: this league as they are lost. And that's one thing

37
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: I always, you know, give Belichick the ultimate credit for

38
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: is his teams rarely lose the game. And I think

39
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: when you come in and you're the head coach, you

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: gotta look at and say, how do I not lose

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: this game? Or when you analyze the game after we

42
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: lost this game because we took a holding penalty here

43
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: and then we dropped off sides and then we attend

44
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: guys on the field and blah blah blah, and we

45
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: missed this read, you know. And I just thought the

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: Steeler defense was outstanding. That not meeting themselves running the

47
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: defense as it was constructed, don't screw anything up. And

48
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, and if that forces them to run a

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: little bit more, too great, because they're not particularly good

50
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: at it. Yeah, I mean, yeah, forced them to do

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: what they're not good at the way, and they're they're

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: they're not a strong running team. Um, you know, so

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, when you have that many new

54
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: guys to your program, um, in the secondary, especially, the

55
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: communication could have been a real problem. From what I understand.

56
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: Edmunds really yea, Terrell Edmonds was really period. But yeah,

57
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: and I also think that's why Spellane's out there from

58
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: time to time more than I would prefer. But um,

59
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: that is that is a big deal simplifying coverages. You know, Edmonds,

60
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: I guess was the leader back there in the secondary

61
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: and and deserves more credit than just making tackles and plays. Um,

62
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fight you on the Steeler run game.

63
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: I've seen about enough end of rounds. You know, one

64
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: or two per game is fine. I don't need five

65
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: or six anymore. I mean, I just think that it's

66
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: kind of back to the argument, is the defense happy

67
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: when you hand at the Claypool or Deonte or whoever.

68
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: I think more often than not that say yeah, we'll

69
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: give you. But I think in this I think in

70
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: this situation it was done with a purpose to slow down.

71
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: The slow down on those edge rushers. I think that

72
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: as part of parton to do with it. I also

73
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: think going into the game running right at via is

74
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: probably not the best idea in the world. Hey Mason

75
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: Cole with your bad foot, they're gonna you know whan

76
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: you move him out of the way so we can

77
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: run right up the gut. But where I will say,

78
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: the end of rounds and the quarterback scrambles help, is

79
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: it just eats? Yeah? I mean the game absolutely. You

80
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: know they shortened the game. I mean the Steelers only

81
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: came out with it was the time of possession was

82
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: almost dead even right. That's been the biggest problem of

83
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: the defense. It's not that they give up big plays

84
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: or Josh Allen makes great throws on them. I mean,

85
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: a couple of these games they could have had t J.

86
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Watt with Lawrence Taylor on the other side. And if

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: you're playing a hundred snaps or you know that many snaps,

88
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna the damn is gonna break. And whatever means necessary,

89
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: I guess that it entails end of rounds or whatever.

90
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: You just staying on, staying on target, and so for

91
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: the game and punting kills the team. For the game,

92
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: both teams had ten possessions, but in the second half,

93
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay had four possessions. Yeah, you know, the Steelers.

94
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: The Steelers had five. And the only reason they were

95
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: ten from the uh in that that series at the

96
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: end of the first half the Bucks. The Bucks punted

97
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: with two forty two, they got it back with two

98
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: o two. They punted with forty six seconds left, They

99
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: got it back with three seconds left. There were three

100
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: possessions there in the final you know for them, in

101
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: the final four minutes of the first half, the Steelers

102
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: had two. So of the game's possessions took place in

103
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: that in that little series there. Other than that, I mean,

104
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: they sure they you know, they yeah, they made this

105
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: a game where Okay, we're gonna have on average like

106
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: two possessions per quarter, and you so you shortened the

107
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: game on braiding. He's admitted in the past that he

108
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: can get caught looking at the clock. Okay, I'm gonna

109
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: get I'm gonna get one more possession in this game.

110
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: I gotta make the most of it. And it was

111
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: very bend. But don't break too again a Belichick thing.

112
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't like. Keep reference him. But you know, you

113
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: know the Patriots are always high in the league and

114
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: yardage allowed but not points. That's fine. I mean that

115
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: that's not that big a deal. I mean, don't give

116
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: up the points. Um you give him eight possessions or whatever.

117
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: Maybe you happen to steal one in some games and

118
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: shorten it or whatever. And tightened up in the red

119
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: zone in this particular instance, and it worked well and

120
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: the offense was efficient. The last couple of picket drives

121
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: weren't super efficient, but overall top to bottom, but most

122
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: of the third downs were like third and five. But

123
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: there's third and five, third and four somewhere in arrange.

124
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: Because you were able even though you weren't running the

125
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: ball great, you weren't getting dropped for losses. A lot

126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: of times on those no nor they're holding penalty or

127
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: attack or you know that type of thing too. If

128
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: you were Nate, I'm and I would have to think

129
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: about every game, but top to bottom defense, special teams, offense.

130
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: It seems like fewer negative plays by the Steelers than

131
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 1: any game this year. Yeah, you know, and that's again,

132
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: don't beat yourself again. And they gave up two quarterback

133
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: hits in that game. Yeah that was on the two sacks. Yeah.

134
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: I didn't think the old line played great, but when

135
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: I watched a second time, I thought James Daniels is

136
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: a really good guard. Um Shack Barrett is one of

137
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: the best pass rushers in the league. He was ghost

138
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: and they helped more with Barrett a fair amount, which

139
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: left chucks and some you know, one on ones and whatnot.

140
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: And you know, if you just isolate chokes, you'd say

141
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: that might not have been his best game. I think

142
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: he played bad, but he was asked to do more

143
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: because they look at him as an upper tear. It's

144
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: the old marquise with pro football focus, like, well, you know,

145
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: he didn't grave very well, but he's asked to do

146
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: more one on one blocks than any other center. Right, Well,

147
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: maybe we should evaluate the grading system then, because when

148
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: you're drawing up your protections and you're like, who we

149
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: trust you, you're gonna deal with the sebe or whoever

150
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: the other ouse, they're gonna bring Devin White on because

151
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna help on the other side more. You know.

152
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: So Moore was asked of Chucks, Um, I didn't look

153
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: at profile focuses grades, but More had a better grade probably,

154
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, but that's kind of counterintuitive thoughts and

155
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: worries me. He didn't have his best game for sure.

156
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: I think it's been three in a row. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

157
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: he's not He's not played well, but you know it's

158
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: there that the talent is there. He's had had very

159
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: good flashes. He started the season extremely strong. Three weeks ago.

160
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: I thought they got a pair of guards for the

161
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: next five ten years or you know what I mean.

162
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give me some col credit to I mean,

163
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: he wasn't healthy coming in and he got it through

164
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: through through that one. It's a tough assignment. Yeah, he's

165
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: good enough. I did talk to him after the game

166
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: about the snap and he said, he said, really, I

167
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: false started on because I double clutched on it, and

168
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: you know when when he did that, he double clutched

169
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: and snapped it on the second and that's why it

170
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: went back bad. He said, Yeah, I think I think

171
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: Mitch for getting on that one then making the throw

172
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: to Claypool after that to save me, because that could

173
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: have been bad. That could have been bad. Let's take

174
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: a look at some of the other results from this weekend,

175
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: because there were some surprising ones. I mean, this one

176
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: might have been the most surprising. It was right up there.

177
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned in the open, this was the largest

178
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: underdog wind. But you had Atlanta beating San Francisco, another

179
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: big underdog. You gotta give the Falcons credit. Man. I

180
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: think Mariota through like twelve passes. I think he was

181
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen. Yeah, I know, I know. Pitt's got three

182
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: three passes and he caught all three of them from

183
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: nineteen whole yards and a touchdown. They also threw a

184
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: touchdown the Michael Pruitt, which of course I was losing

185
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: my mind early in. Again, you're gonna throw a tight

186
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: end touchdown here, it's not to the your best guy

187
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: that I've never seen before. Um, San Francis doesn't particularly

188
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: worry me. They had a bunch of injuries. But Jimmy

189
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: did dumb stuff too, though he's prone to do that.

190
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: He goes linebacker blind. Uh, Cleveland just got trounced by

191
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: New England. I saw a stat they ran like sixties

192
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: six or something like that offensive plays in the game. Yes,

193
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: Chubb got thirty snaps, Kareem Hunt got twenty nine. Wow, Like,

194
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you doing? Those guys

195
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: leading the league and rushing is your best player and

196
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: they didn't. Neither one of them did well. He played, Yeah,

197
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: you played him less than half of your offensive snaps.

198
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: You're taking him off. I get it. Hey, Kareem Hunt's

199
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: a great backup. Oh yeah, but I'm not playing him

200
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: equal to Chubb. No. Two to one. Yeah, I like

201
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: the Steelers who with Harrison Warren, I mean at least six.

202
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: And then Belichick really schemed around a Maori. He knew

203
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: Brissette like the back of his hand. And Cleveland d

204
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: Seattle to Troit Cleveland or like way below the other

205
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: defense garbage. And again it's they're so analytically inclined stopping

206
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: the run doesn't matter, doesn't matter one bit on the

207
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: defensive tackles. Linebackers are two pounds. The Jets go into

208
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: green Bay and win. I should say I don't think

209
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: Green Bay is a good team. I don't think they

210
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: are either. Um, that that lost the Steelers head to

211
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: the Jets doesn't look quite so. They we're playing well,

212
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: playing extremely well. That does not look like a bad

213
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: loss to the Jets. Um, Aaron Rodgers looks like end

214
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: of Mike McCarthy years. Aaron Rodgers like, I'm not real

215
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: happy to be here type of thing, you know. And

216
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: then I said this before too. It's kind of like

217
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: the Brady off season and wedding adventure. I'm not sure

218
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: the best way to prepare for an NFL season is

219
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: to not prepare for the NFL season is to do

220
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of mushrooms. Yeah, it's psychedelic summer, you know.

221
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: Is that really the best way to become a great Okay? Interesting? Yeah,

222
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't want to be there. I don't want to

223
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: make it so. Indianapolis always beats Jacksonville. It's like it's

224
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: like now ten of the last thirteen or twelve or

225
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Jackson was up in that game that

226
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: was back and forth back and forth, and Indianapolis comes

227
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: back and wins it without their best player, actually the

228
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: best player on offense and defense. I mean, I believe

229
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's kind of dust. But some of those guys

230
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: been last year, you know, rivers, you know, like they

231
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: still have greatness in them even though their body fails them.

232
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: Ryan had a great day. Yea, he really did? You know?

233
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: Pittman got involved. Defense played pretty well. I also think

234
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is not close to knowing how to win it,

235
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: and there's something to that. Um I did picked up

236
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: deon Jackson Yeah, Saturday when I saw Taylor was out

237
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: and he had like ten catches in the games. Matt

238
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: Ryan thing to do? Yeah? Uh. We mentioned un Minnesota

239
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: beating Miami. They beat They're good though. They beat Miami

240
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: despite giving up a hundred judge of receiving a hundred

241
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: seventy seven to Tyree Hill and Wattle head over because

242
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: Miami can't run the football. I can't run the football.

243
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: Miami's We'll talk a lot of Miami coming up. They

244
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: once again have O line issues. They're shuffling dudes around. Obviously,

245
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation hasn't helped, but Wattle and Hill or

246
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: great waddle at a couple of drops. Um, Miami average

247
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: like a yard and a half more per play and

248
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: still got beat pretty badly. If you watch is that

249
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: Darius Smith just wrecking their offensive line? And I think

250
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers can do a lot of the same. I

251
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: do as well, since I don't know either, Like when

252
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: we do power ranks, I bet everyone will have them

253
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: four behind the big three. I don't know about that. Yeah, well,

254
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: don't put the Giants ahead of them for God's sakes, right,

255
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I thought the Bucks after this

256
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: week could be the four. Uh, Cincinnati goes into New

257
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: Orleans and gives up more than two hundred rushing yards

258
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: and still wins thirty to twenty six. No passing game?

259
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: What's all? Whatsoever? From from New Orleans? I looked at

260
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: one point, Uh, the Saints were up in that game

261
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: and and Dalton was like two of six for like

262
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: twenty six yards with a big league it's like seventeen nothing.

263
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's going on here? And then looking like

264
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: they already had over a hundred forty yards rushing and

265
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: that's really all they could do. I'm starting to feel

266
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: better about Cincinnati overall. Though, I mean that performance aside defensively,

267
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: I think they're a top ten defense. Burrows kind of

268
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: carrying the team. They had a little more success on

269
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: first downs for the first time, you know, had a

270
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: semblance of a run game. Chase blew up. Higgins will

271
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: get healthier. I think since he's the best team in division.

272
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: We thought that, Uh, well, no, we didn't think. Yeah,

273
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: you thought it was Baltimore. They got issues Baltimore, Yes,

274
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: the issues. Uh they gave up in this game, missing

275
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in the last six minutes to blow a

276
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: ten lead. They don't have the pass rushers to put

277
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: teams with the third time this year. And maybe it will.

278
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure if this was Ravens Nation Radio, it'll correct itself.

279
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: Bad luck. Harbor knows how to win. We got justin Tucker.

280
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: Lamar's a clutch, you know, I don't think it's a

281
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: clutch thing. I think that's you have a lead and

282
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: they start throwing. You don't have a lot. You know,

283
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: you don't have a closer, and as you mentioned last segment,

284
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: they don't have a traditional run game to just put

285
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: teams away. You know, Cobbins doesn't look the same Drake

286
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: Broke off a long one or whatever. Everybody he's not

287
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: a foundational back. You know, they might just give it

288
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: the Gus Edwards a million times when he shows up

289
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: four yards in. Yeah, well you're assuming he's right and

290
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: he made serious injuries. Yeah, uh, Carolina Los Angeles, that

291
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: figure that kind of plays game for the Rams. But

292
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: they lost No Boom their left tackle for the season,

293
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: and they're not super impressive. I don't think they're a

294
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: good team either. I don't think they're going anywhere. Seattle

295
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: beats Arizona nineteen to nine. Hollywood brown out for at

296
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: least six weeks with the foot injury that they then

297
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: trade for Robbie Anderson with the Panthers, and Hopkins be

298
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: back Thursday night. Yeah, maybe it sounds like there's a

299
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: good chance he might be on a pitch counter. I wouldn't. Probably,

300
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: probably I picked Seattle to win. I think they're the

301
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: better team. I think they think they have more roots,

302
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: bricks foundation, you know, at least know what they are. Yeah.

303
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: I think the Arizona is really rudderless and everyone that

304
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna bash the guy, but I mean every

305
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: report or anyone I trust that talks about Kyler Murray

306
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: does not think he should be the leader of a team,

307
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, to put it that way. The big game,

308
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: of course, was the Kansas City Buffalo game. Buffalo pulling

309
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: it out kind of the it was to score I

310
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: think everybody I thought it was gonna be the scoreless

311
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: through a quarter. Then both teams put up what was

312
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: the seventeen in the second in the in the second quarter, uh,

313
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: and then it kind of turned into a slug fest

314
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: in the second half. Buffalo basically has the ball last,

315
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: scores with under a minute left and pick off my

316
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: homes to win it. Bad throw, bad decision. Um. I

317
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 1: think the difference in the game, and maybe the difference

318
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: between the franchises right now is I think Buffalo has

319
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: the better defense. Um, the quarterbacks are equal, and Digs

320
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: and Kelsey are equal, and you know, but in this game,

321
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo in the ball. I mean they had like a

322
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: hundred seven yards rushing. Kansas City can't run the ball.

323
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City can't really run the ball. And I saw

324
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: some things about the Bills. You know who teams are

325
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: from listeners are probably familiar with and always played Nicole

326
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: never Blitz. They rushed three like a very high percentage

327
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: of time. They even played some dime. There are things

328
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: they don't even do, so it's kind of I mean,

329
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers did a lot of that yesterday, only Rush

330
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: four for most of the game. You say against pretty

331
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: they didn't blitz a lot once once. I mean, so

332
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: I think that's really interesting. Yeah, and they got pressure

333
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: on him and got pressure. Yes, if you can do that,

334
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: you can win a lot of games. I spent a

335
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: good player. By the way, he's already got six and

336
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: a half sacks. But that's past. Yeah, they're not flukey. No, No,

337
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: imagine when you know when he and what I mean,

338
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: that's that kind of gives you. You look at the

339
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: second half of the season, you're like, oh, this could

340
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: be pretty good. It could be pretty good. Uh. And

341
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: then of course Philadelphia holds off Dallas seventeen. That game

342
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: really wasn't that close. There was when Lane Johnson got hurt.

343
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: There was life for Dallas before that they got squashed,

344
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: and then the end of the game they got squashed.

345
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: But Cooper Rush, Cooper Rush turned into the pump and

346
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: Daxloman that was to me is the fourth best team

347
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: in the league. They're pretty good, pretty good, They're pretty good.

348
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm thinking as dak as a quarterback. Yeah, I'm I'm

349
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: just looking at this. I don't know. There's a big

350
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: void there. There's a big they're about. They're about fifteen,

351
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: maybe even eighteen teams that are all pretty close, and

352
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers are one of those, and the

353
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: Steelers are one of those. People thought they were the

354
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: junk pick first overall teams. How about that? Where the

355
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: people where are the people that now there's well, the

356
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: steal with the number one pick next year, the Steelers

357
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: that to do this, get out of here with that stuff.

358
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: I said it, then I'll say it again. I never

359
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: put any faith in that. That's ridiculous. You take Will

360
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: Anderson or traded for a quarterback. Speaking of which, I

361
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: watched Bama Tennessee. Will Anderson's invisible. Invisible the games I've seen,

362
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: but invisible. Wow, not surprising. Yeah, I saw very little

363
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: of that game. I saw the end with ripping down

364
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: the goal post and stuff. Yeah. But yeah, so I

365
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think there's there's three teams in

366
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: that upper tier. Clearly, Chiefs might be third to me,

367
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,239
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs might be the third best team there

368
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: because I think Philadelphia's defense is pretty good and they

369
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: can Yeah, they can do a lot of different things.

370
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: Corner now, you know, they can do a lot. They

371
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: don't have the quarterbacks that Alan and my Homes are

372
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: And then there's a definite who's number four. Yeah, there's

373
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: a definite layer there between those teams and the next

374
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: teams and those other thing. If you look at this,

375
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: So Tampa Bay, when we're gonna do power rankings tomorrow

376
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: that's come up, Cincinnati will probably be in the top ten.

377
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: Des Tampa Bay might drop out of the top ten

378
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: this week, maybe down to like twelve. Maybe. I don't

379
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: know who moves up though, Right, that's the problem. Who's

380
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: who's gonna be gonna bump the Jets Jets ahead of him.

381
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: The one team I'm actually very intrigued of is who

382
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: plays tonight? Like the Chargers haven't opening to say five

383
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: type of team. Yeah, you know, Herbert's nearly Alan and

384
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: the Homes and they have a superhero superhero at their defense. Thinks.

385
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: So it's been bad. I mean for what they they

386
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: spent a lot of money on it, went out and

387
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys, and it's just it just

388
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: hasn't jelled. Yet it hasn't, and I don't know. The

389
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: coaching is nearly on par with Buffalo. No, he's gonna

390
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: do something stupid tonight, no doubt about it. There's not

391
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: a doubt in my mind. I think Herbert and Burrow

392
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: overcome coaching. Did you see, by the way, last name

393
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: McCarthy going forward on fourth and one? I believe from

394
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: like his own thirty five in the first half. Yeah,

395
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: and then through the ball and through the ball you

396
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: got you're paying all you're paying those those behind Zack Martin, Yeah,

397
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: you're payings. You're paying Zeke Elliott like a jillion dollars

398
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: and he's got a million fourth and ones and third

399
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: and ones in his career. Right now, can you throw

400
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: the ball? Then you're afraid of Jordan Davis and Hargrave

401
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: and those guys, But don't live in your fears. Well

402
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: if that's if you're afraid of that, then punt. But right,

403
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: all right, don't give that. Don't give the Eagles the

404
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: ball at the thirty five and then you give up

405
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: another touchdown and I'm all four going for it on fourth.

406
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: Not to the stately level, or you know, even the

407
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: analytic level, but when you go for it in that situation,

408
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: you better know your play call. I mean, this is

409
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: our peanut, butter and jelly go to You know this

410
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: will work of the time, right, I mean a Brady sneak.

411
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: I know he didn't get one yesterday. That's why I

412
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: threw it out there. But like Josh Allen sneaking it

413
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: on fourth and one, I'm gonna get this. Yeah, very

414
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: high percentage of the time or whatever your bread and

415
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: butter is. Give it to Jerome, you know what I mean.

416
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: It's not like we're gonna go for it. I'm not

417
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: sure what to call. That's a that's a problem. That's

418
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: a problem. Yeah, but I don't I'm with you. I

419
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: think there's that. I think I know who the really

420
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: bad teams are. That was my next question of who stinks.

421
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot. Yeah, there's a lot. The two teams

422
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: that played Thursday night, Washington and Chicago stink. Houston's horrible,

423
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: Johnson Giants don't. Yeah, I think they're They've worked their

424
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: way into the fighting for number four. No, No, Carolina stinks.

425
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: Carolina stinks. Cleveland's getting pretty stinky. I don't think the

426
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: Raiders stink. I might think Denver stinks tomorrow. Yeah, we'll

427
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: see what they do. They go get blown out again tonight.

428
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: I think Detroit borderline stinks. Yeah, it gets Washington stinks,

429
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: Carolina stinks, Atlanta isn't. Yeah, the Cardinals are getting smelly,

430
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks don't. Yeh, they can. But so there's

431
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: that parody there, and it comes back to what we

432
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: talked about in the first segment. That bounce that are

433
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: those one or two plays each game that go your

434
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: way are really the difference in every NFL game this year.

435
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean winning and losing in one score games. That's

436
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: the difference. And that's the way the league is right now. Yeah,

437
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: maybe you can throw the Jets in this conversation, but

438
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: certainly Atlanta, Giants, Seattle, we're right there with most rebuilding

439
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: of rebuilding teams in the league. We know where this

440
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 1: is gonna be a step back. We gotta get our

441
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: cap in order we trade our quarterback. You know, our

442
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: quarterbacks probably not on the roster. Those guys have like

443
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: ten wins between the three of them. Yeah, and they

444
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: all run the ball, and they all run the ball

445
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, they all give themselves a fighting chance

446
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: at the end because they run the ball a lot,

447
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: shorten the game and try to get those bounces. You
