Speaker 1: dl Ali here with Matt Williamson. There a five from

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: Steelers at a sessions here at the U P. M.

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: C Roney Sports Complex. Um, it's not a bad day today,

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: says No overcast. We get a little some light sprinkles

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: earlier there, but a little worried that guys are gonna

18
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: open up on us and it didn't happen. Yeah, it's

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: kind of it's kind of made it from nice and

20
00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: cool day and so Steelers getting through their practice today. Um,

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: Matt anything stand out to you today that uh, nothing

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: jumps out at me. I mean you could tell that

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot and this is an unusual but there

24
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: is a lot of times spent one on one position

25
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: coach and usually one of the better players. Something I

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: saw today I thought was interesting. So they had all

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: the guys on offense, offensive players who play on special

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: teams and and then one of the early sessions that

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: hit Brian Flores in the in the drill session drilling

30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: with those guys who are special teams players really on

31
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: how to force fumbles. Wow, okay, little cross pollination there,

32
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: And I wonder did Flores do that as Miami's head

33
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: coach or is that all mean he had been a

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: special teams guy? Right? Right? Right? You know that makes

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: perfect sense though. I mean, I'm sure Danny Smith can

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: help offensive players cause fumbles, but a defensive coach will

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: be even better, right, you know what I mean? That

38
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: is interesting. I mean I think cross pollen nation in

39
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: coaching and even like scouts to coaches and things like

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: that is really important. I keep siting the Patriots, but

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: that they're big on that too, Like they're really big

42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: on this year defensive coordinators. We haven't talked a lot

43
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 1: about that. I don't know how that's gonna work out. Yeah,

44
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm gonna call it the Patriots coaching

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: staff here. Well, from what I understand, well, Matt Patricia

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: is back with the team. Who was I guess he

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: was an offensive lineman who immediately went to the defensive

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: side of ball. And his coaching staff former Lions head

49
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: coach after being a defensive coordinator. No, I don't even

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: a horrible head coach. He supposedly he's very bright, um

51
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: and you know, gets good grades and book smart and

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: you know, good sets and things like that. But he's

53
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: going to be instrumental in the offensive play calling from

54
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: what I understand, And I guess Belichick is too, which

55
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure he knows plenty, but it's not his fort Hey.

56
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: Here's their offensive coaching staff. Ivan Fears is the running

57
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: back coach. He's been in the league thirty one years.

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: Vinnie since Serri is the running is the assistant runnings

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: back coach. Actually, they have two running backs coach and

60
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: listen both and he's been with five years. That's sALS kid. Yeah. Yeah.

61
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Troy Brown is the wide receiver, kick returner coach. Makes sense,

62
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: it's a typical. He'll be the next label tight ends,

63
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: fullbacks is Nick Kayley who has seven years of experience.

64
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Assistant offensive line coach is Billy Yates, who has twelve

65
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: years experience, and the offensive assistant is Joe Judge right,

66
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: also a former head coach, coach, failed head coach. Okay,

67
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: so I see what I see on Here is an

68
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: assistant offensive line coach, but no offensive line coach is

69
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: not there anymore retired. They didn't name Yates the head

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: offensive line coach. Here's no quarterbacks coach, no quarterbacks coach right,

71
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: and there's no offensive coordinator offensive coordination, but you have

72
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: Troy Brown coaching your kick returners. So I mean, over

73
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, you lose Scarneckia, who's like

74
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame offensive line coaches. There is such

75
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: a thing McDaniels, who's one of the best offensive coordinators

76
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: in the league. Oh, by the way, Tom Brady's gone,

77
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: and you have defensive player to defensive minds guys like

78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: Brian Flores. Yeah, absolutely absolutely. You get Patricia and Judge

79
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: back after failed stints as head coaches. But obviously they

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: were hugely failed coaches, but they were obviously sought up

81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: and sought up enough to interview for head coaching jobs

82
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: at one point. You know they're probably I wouldn't qualify

83
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: them the same way as I qualify the flora as higher.

84
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: Here's the other side of the floors as a failed

85
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: head coach. Defensive line is de Marcus Covington in five years.

86
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: Inside linebackers is Jared Mayo. He has a very good reputation.

87
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: He was a good player. Okay, you're outside linebackers coach

88
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: is Steve Belichick. I wanted to bring that up bright

89
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: Your safety's coaches Brian Belichick. Oh, I didn't know it yet.

90
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: Another Belichicker's he's got he's got two of his sons

91
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: on the staff, wanterback coaches, Mike Pellegrino, and then they've

92
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: got Ross Douglas on the staff is a NFL coaching fellowship. Defense,

93
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: he's got a tiny staff. He's got a tiny staff

94
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: with all his big dogs gone. It's all on Bill now,

95
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: it's all on Bill. And I don't think Bill slipping

96
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: by any means. I mean, I think he's been an

97
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: overrated GM for a while, But I mean in terms

98
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: of football knowledge the coach could make up for Bill

99
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: the g MS right, especially with TV twelve, but I

100
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: think they have a chance to be exposed and a

101
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: couple levels. First of all, calling plays, not that I've

102
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: ever done it for an offense is a very high tempo,

103
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: stressful job that doesn't come overnight, not necessarily like should

104
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: I call this run or this past? I mean just

105
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: communicating it to all that need to get it onto

106
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: the field with right right, right, playing ahead, setting things

107
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: up knowing your team's weakness is adjusting on the fly.

108
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: But I also wonder and Steve Belichick, who you know,

109
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: they've shown him this sidelines many times. He's got the mullet,

110
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: he makes Gruden faces, and he's you know, he's Bill's kid.

111
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: Makes me wonder is his role on the defense growing

112
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: because Dad's coach in the offense and Steve ready for

113
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: it right. Maybe I don't know, but it's a lot

114
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: of change. His last name is Belichick, but that doesn't

115
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: mean he know exactly right. I mean, you don't want

116
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: Fredo running the run the Corley Home family either, But

117
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what I could do. Barm smile, So

118
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: you're right. I didn't know as the staff was that small,

119
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: and it is a tiny staff. Uh, you know, they

120
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: get to designed. I'm sure they got two special teams guys,

121
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: Cameron Accord and Joe Houston. I guarantee they'll be good

122
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: on special teams. You get a special teams coordinator and

123
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: special teams assistant, but you don't have an offensive coordinator

124
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: or a defensive coordinator, which is weird, or a line

125
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: or a quarterback or quarterbacks coach probably the four most

126
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,359
Speaker 1: valuable assistant coach. And then you get your seer senior

127
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: football visor Matt Patricia. Okay, and he'll do a bunch

128
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: of stuff, of course, But I think he's going to

129
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: be on the offense, which is yeah, I don't see

130
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: any offensive masterminds there. I don't either, and experienced, as

131
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: good as Belichick is, that's not his forte. If he's

132
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: also calling the defense is which he largely does. Although

133
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: Mayo and and Steve belichick'n get more. But Belichick has

134
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: a big hand in that game planning and all that

135
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: stuff too. Can he do both? Can he? Okay, I'm

136
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: gonna game play him in the offense here, and I'm

137
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: gonna game plan like that's he's stretched. Then how old

138
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: is Bill Uh, He's now, he's in his forty six

139
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: seasons in the NFL. He's been around a while, Springship.

140
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: I think he's he's like almost seventy. I thought he

141
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: was seventy ish, maybe even more. I'm sure Wikipedia will

142
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: tell you whatever, But I mean he's not a young man.

143
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,679
Speaker 1: I mean we know that he's seven years old. Okay,

144
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: seventy years old. Turn turned seventy April sixteen. Yeah, mean,

145
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: this is this is a recipe for disaster. If this

146
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: were if this were any other team doing this, people

147
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: will be trashing this left and right. Yeah, close your eyes.

148
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: Tom If Mike Tomla made this move with the Steelers,

149
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have an offensive coordinator. I'm going to

150
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: call the offensive place. Yeere, I'm gonna bring back I'm

151
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: gonna bring back Mike Munchak and he's gonna he's gonna

152
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: be a defensive coach. Now, yeah, he's coaching the corner.

153
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: It is kind of what it is, you know, Like,

154
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: for example, everyone out there, close your eyes and imagine

155
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: this world where the Jags fire last year's disaster and

156
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: take this approach. What do you think Peter King and

157
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: Schefter and all the national guys will be saying like

158
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: is that a good idea or not? No, and will

159
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: work them. That's the same thing as well, it Cold

160
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: Strange he knows better than I do, or Thornton or yeah,

161
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: it was a great idea to draft two running backs

162
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: and a quarterback in the mid rounds. You know, it's

163
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: for your fourth and fifth running back position and backup

164
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: quarterback for the guy you drafted the first round last year.

165
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: Like their draft to me, cold Strange is like my

166
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: fourth biggest complaint because it'll be a good guard, you right,

167
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: if they're taking fifteen picks later, nobody would have bad

168
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: and I find he'll be a fine guard. But because

169
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: of where they took him, they're gonna kill him for it.

170
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: And he's a small school guy. I mean. But some

171
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: of the other draft stuff, and really going back to

172
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: last offseason, with the money they spent not only on

173
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: Johnny Smith and Hunter Henry, but on like a you know,

174
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: like he doesn't fix your ride receiver problems, and he

175
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: was like a ten million dollar guy, you know, Like

176
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: so the Steelers got James Daniel for lesson Yeah, right, right, right,

177
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: right right? I mean, all the money they spent on

178
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: those guys and Kendrick Bourne, and you know, like your

179
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: skill positions are expensive now and bad. You know, like

180
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: you went from just bad and young to expend have

181
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: been bad at the skill position of spots and you

182
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: don't paying Brady now you're paying Mac. But I thought

183
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: Belichick's not his best, because I mean that's saying a lot.

184
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: But did an elite job of coaching the year Brady

185
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: went to Tampa because that was the year COVID hit

186
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: them unbelievably hard more than any other team in terms

187
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: of opt outs. His roster was garbage. Yeah, and they

188
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: were seven and nine, and I'm like, I can't believe

189
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: that he made. Part of that was also because they

190
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: get to play the Jets in the Dolphins four times. Yeah,

191
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: and they were bad teams at that point too, you know,

192
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: without a doubt. But he made a presentable meal with marshmallows,

193
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: vodka and peanuts or whatever. Right, So I feel like

194
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to do it again, even more so

195
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: because as I mentioned, he's the GM as well. That's

196
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: what he's wearing, like eight different hats. He's the one

197
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: shopping for the ingredients and cooking with them. And boy,

198
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: there He's not just cookie. He's doing all the prep work. Right.

199
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: I really feel like one chopping up the chicken and

200
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: have to put into this, you know. Yeah, yeah, it's

201
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole deal here. He's not just stirring

202
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: the pod. He's he's like's to cut the salary to everything. Right. Yeah,

203
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: part of me thinks boy Bill still got it if

204
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: he can keep them relevant in around five hundred. But

205
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: this could be the year that they win. For if

206
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: there were any other team that did this, they would

207
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: be getting crushed, crushed, cushed. But it's Belichick, so they'll

208
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: be fine. Yeah, it'll be fine because he's smarter than us.

209
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: And he is, but there's a lot of illogical moves

210
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: the last two years. You know, I'm looking at this

211
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: photo here, he's get the hood he pulled up over.

212
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: He looks like the Emperor. No, I'm sure it looks

213
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: like in Star Wars uh, and the emperors at some

214
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: point found out that well, bench, you can't do it

215
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: all right, can't do it all comers go past. You

216
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: can't control everything. Um I honestly I think I I

217
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 1: you we did win over your power rankings yesterday and

218
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: you had them at what one or twenty two? Maybe lower.

219
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: They were the fourth worst in the a f C.

220
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: Only the Jets, Jags, and Texans were. I think they're

221
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: closer than that than they are the fourth best team. Right,

222
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: Oh I do too, Yeah, right, I probably I might

223
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: pick them fourth in their division if I had a

224
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: little more Zack Wilson trust, Yeah, I think I would. Yeah, say,

225
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 1: and that's that's not even saying that. I mean, you

226
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: don't love the Dolphins either, I mean, honestly not the

227
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: mac Jones a superstar, but if he were a Dolphin

228
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: or Jet, I would say, that's clearly the second best

229
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: team in the division. Yeah, yeah, he's good. Better rosters now,

230
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: they've had better rosters in the past except for Brady. Yeah,

231
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: they have. But it's just you know, I don't know.

232
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: I this is gonna be fascinating to watch. And this

233
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: is one I know it's a copycat league. I don't

234
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: see anybody copying this particular way of doing things. I

235
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: hope for Bill's sake and the Patriots, No not, Why

236
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: should I hope for them? They've had more success than anybody.

237
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: Everyone's dote do for their downtime, But I could see

238
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: their trajectory going a lot like Seattle's as the last

239
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: couple of years. You know, like it was great what

240
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: you did work tremendously well. Not the eluctant to Russell,

241
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: Wilson and Brady, but you've got a break there and

242
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: you took massive advantage of it. But I could see

243
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: those two organizations go and maybe the end of the

244
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: chuck you know what I mean, they're not saying the

245
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: games passed two time? Yeah right, I mean these are

246
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: the best guys I've ever done at the end. You know,

247
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: he had Marino and still didn't have success. Yeah, yeah,

248
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's bound to happen. It probably aren't gonna Yeah,

249
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna goheat on top. That's just the way

250
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: it works. And and uh, it'll be fascinating to watch.

251
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: They are the one team I know when everybody brings up, well,

252
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't the Steelers have more assistant coaches? I said,

253
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: you know, the one team that doesn't have more assistant

254
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: coaches and the Steelers consistently you're in Europe is the Patriots.

255
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: And it's not because they're cheap. I mean, some organizations

256
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: just don't want to pay thirty resistance and summers some

257
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: go over the top and have like twenty eight which

258
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: you don't need. You don't need his position coach for

259
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: every two players. That's a saying. I think a coach

260
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: could be in charge of five guys. Too many voices

261
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: in the you know, in the in the in the

262
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: kitchen makes for a bad meal. But I wonder too.

263
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean, just Patriots, there's a lot to do, and

264
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have other people involved, but preparing from

265
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: week four to week five is a big job that

266
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: takes a lot of manpower. And if you have less

267
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: manpower than others, you know, are you watching as many

268
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: third down tendencies or I don't know. By the way,

269
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: also has to walk in and look at the the Okay,

270
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: who's who's available as a free agent this weekend? We

271
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: we had three injuries right right right, and you know

272
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: he probably wants to nap as a seven year old

273
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: to you know, he looks like he needs a nap

274
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: in that photo. Of course, media responsibilities and every other

275
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: head coach thing that's unbelievably demand. Yeah, it's just a lot.

276
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot. We're gonna take another break. He has

277
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: Matt Williams and I am Dale Lully. When we come back,

298
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: Nicole sat down with with Joler and Tom off Froman

299
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: who was sitting in for Arthur Moates. Um and I

300
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: did a little interview, and I did want to play

301
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: that back for everybody who missed that. That was way

302
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: back a couple of hours ago anyway, so it's a

303
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: good one. I was standing right here listening. Yeah, he's intelligent.

304
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: A couple of things I noticed was just his body type,

305
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, I mean seeing him three feet away for me,

306
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean he he played a lot of tackle, or

307
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: at least some tackle at Michigan, and he looks more

308
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: like a tackle than Hank Freeley center, you know what

309
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: I mean. There's nothing short and squatty about No, there's

310
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: not a lot of fat on his body has some length.

311
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch him more in terms of leverage

312
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: and sinking his hips as a center. But one thing

313
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: he'll say in this interview that I found interesting was

314
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: obviously he's versatile, but he said his his favorite spot.

315
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how he phrases. I guess it's coming up.

316
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: That's where he said his most career starts. He has

317
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: thirty nine career starts and James Daniel has a fifty

318
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: two I believe fifty two or fifty four chooks a

319
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: core four then has thirty five, and those guys, those

320
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: guys are your your veteran guys in that offensive line.

321
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: Cole was Cole has already turned twenty five, a core

322
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: of four, and Daniels are still both twenty four. Dan

323
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: Moore's twenty three, and Kevin Dotson and Kendrick Green are

324
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: splitting time at left guard are twenty five and twenty three. Yeah.

325
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: I can't say this enough, and I've said it over

326
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: and over, but all of a sudden, between those six

327
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: they have a remarkable blend of youth experience, which those

328
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: two things usually don't go hand in hand, and cost

329
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: controlled slash continuity for the future. Daniels told me yesterday

330
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: that he started the game, uh last year and when um,

331
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of who the player was, he

332
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: told me that there was a tackle Larry borom mooved

333
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: inn't right tackle for the Bears. He said that was

334
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: the first time he had been on the field as

335
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: a professional with somebody younger than him on the offensive line.

336
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: He's been a legal long time. Yeah, I think that

337
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: James Dan and we talked about the Barnwell article to

338
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: lead off this show. And I'm not picking on Bill,

339
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: but you pick up that James Daniels pick up to

340
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: me could go down as one of the best for

341
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: the Buck long term signings of this entire free agency period.

342
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: And considering his age, he's from Youngstown right around the corner,

343
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: he has positioned versatility. A year from now, you might

344
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: ask him to play center. I mean, I don't think

345
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 1: that's a planned but he could, you know, or if

346
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: you had, if you had an injury in game, you

347
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: could put him in the center, right right right, A

348
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: lot to the table. Yeah. And you know, the other

349
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: great thing about it is, outside of Dotson, those guys

350
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: are all signed for at least the next three years. Yeah,

351
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: So saying I mean they're cost controlled, you should develop

352
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: great continuity amongst those six and we'll see how. You know,

353
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: only five of them will see the field at once.

354
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: But I think it's a remarkable accomplishment and very hard

355
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: to do that. That doesn't mean all six we're gonna

356
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: be tremendous players, but how they're set up financially, age

357
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: experience wise, is very hard to pull off. They're all

358
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: on the on the upswing of their career as well

359
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: as ar as it being on the downward slope. And

360
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: I mentioned continuity a ton, I mean any asking any

361
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. One of the most underrated aspects of great

362
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: five man offensive line play, not singular, is knowing the

363
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: guys next to you. And I think that is a

364
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: chance to really be a strength here. Well, Cole will

365
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: be uh in the middle. Uh, at least he is

366
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: right now. Uh, kind of pivoting all that thing. So

367
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: let's hear what Mason Cole had to say earlier today

368
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: with West Shuler and Tom Offerman. But sitting down with

369
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: us right now, we'll go to the other side of

370
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: the football. We've got Steelers new offensive lineman, Mason Cole

371
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: sitting down with us here. If I can, if I

372
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: can give you this headset there, Mason, thank you. Everything

373
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: sound all right in your ears and everything perfect? Perfect? Well,

374
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: welcome to Pittsburgh. What's it been like, you know, first

375
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: week here in the Black and Gold. Uh, it's been

376
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: awesome man. Uh. I mean you, I don't know if

377
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: you saw it out, but this culture here is unbelievable

378
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: and um really happy to be a part of it.

379
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: And hopefully win a bunch of games here. You're coming

380
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: over from Minnesota, obviously, UM, I believe it was earlier

381
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: this week I heard you talking about just the stability

382
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: that is Pittsburgh and particularly throughout Mike Tomlin's tenure in

383
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: the consistency of winning seasons and playoff appearances. Is that

384
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: something that that clearly attracted you to this place. Yeah,

385
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: for sure. And it's by no accident either, right, it

386
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: doesn't just happen, Um. I mean Tom, Mike coach. Tom

387
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: has been awesome and and the culture he's built around

388
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: here and the city is built is unbelievable and to

389
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: be a part of it is really special. Mason. All

390
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: five of you guys on the offensive line have to

391
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: work together as one really more so than any position

392
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: on the field. How hard is that to do as

393
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: a free agent coming into a new environment or you

394
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: know this there was a really young offensive line or

395
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: is is it maybe a little easier than you thought

396
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: it would be? You know, it's not as hard a

397
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: lot of people think. But that's what this time is

398
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: for O T S and training camp is to build

399
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: that continuity with that group. UM, learn how learn how

400
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: the guy's next to you play, And I mean that's

401
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: the huge thing right there. There's five individuals on the

402
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: offensive line, but we all have to play together as unit. Um,

403
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: we have been on the same page. We have to

404
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: commun communicate well. Um. But if we can do all

405
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: those things, if we can communicate well and all be

406
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: on the same page, then and then we'll be all right.

407
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,479
Speaker 1: One of the things that you know, people have been

408
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: discussing ever since you, you know, signed with the Pittsburgh

409
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: Steelers your position flexibility. Um. I know, obviously you've played

410
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: a lot of center. You know, you played some guard

411
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: last year, did really well on Thursday Night against the

412
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: Steelers last season. That might have been part of what

413
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: put you on their radar. Um. And then I believe

414
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: that Michigan you played some tackle even as well too,

415
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: right when you were in college. Does it feel to you, though,

416
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: like is center the position where you think you belong

417
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: or is that flexibility something that you're you know that

418
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: you're kind of willing to ride with the center certainly

419
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: the position I feel most comfortable just because I've started

420
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: the most games there. Um, I don't think I could

421
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: play that an emergency situation. I could be out there

422
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: and hold someone's spot, But uh, I need the three

423
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: interior spots that I feel comfortable. I can play in

424
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: a high level at But I do think centers where

425
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: I feel the most comfortable. But that's just because I

426
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: played there in the most sure, sure, Mason, the Steelers

427
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: run offense is going to be the bread and butter

428
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: this year. That's what everybody thinks. Naji Harris obviously a

429
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: stunt you. I don't have to tell you that. What

430
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: do you guys have to do up front to really

431
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: improve the gaps that he has in front of him?

432
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: You have to do as a unit to improve this

433
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: rush offense. You know, I think the first thing and

434
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: a lot of people may or may not know this,

435
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: but schematically we have to have the right fit. And

436
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: you can be you can do a lot of things,

437
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: but you have to find the thing that you're good at,

438
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: whether it be inside zone, gap, scheme, whatever you're good at.

439
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: You gotta gotta find what's good, what you're good at.

440
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: Your group is good at, what Naji is good at,

441
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: even though it's probably good everything. But I mean, but seriously,

442
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: you got you gotta find what works for you and

443
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: what's gonna be our identity and once we established that,

444
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: and then you gotta roll with it. Um. You know,

445
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: I think running the ball a lot of times with

446
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: the mindset who I think, Uh, in this league you

447
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: have to you have to run the ball well to

448
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: win games. Uh, in this this new era of the league,

449
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: with all these passing offenses and stuff, When it comes

450
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: down to it, you you still have to run the

451
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: ball well. Um. Not saying you have to get a

452
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: millionaards a game. You have to run it efficiently to

453
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: win football games in this league, and probably I would

454
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: think effectively in those big moments as well too, when

455
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: it's time to kind of close down a game and

456
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: see things out. I mean situationally, you running the football

457
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: is one of the hardest things in the game. To

458
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: win games, you have to do that and you have

459
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: to be good in those situations. We obviously don't know

460
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: who's going to be the starting quarterback at this point yet.

461
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: How do you kind of use this time and mini

462
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: camp coming up and then into training camp to kind

463
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: of like spread some experience around with all three of

464
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: those guys because you don't know who you might be

465
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: snapping the brea. You know, I think it's good. I mean,

466
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 1: we get repped with everyone out there. Um we got

467
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback room all across the board. So

468
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: um obviously that will get sorted out whenever gets sort out.

469
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: But it's been funking. And know these guys and learn

470
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: how they play, and um, learn how they communicate and

471
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: just from here and out, like I said, just this

472
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: time in training camp is is to get to know

473
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: those guys and know how they work, know how they play.

474
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: You know, you get you get some downtime writers of

475
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: the season, then you kind of get back into training

476
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: come February and March your training hard and now we're

477
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: no t A so we're doing a lot more football stuff.

478
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: And I think as you get closer to your training camp, um,

479
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: you really got the biggest thing is being in shape, right.

480
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: You have to be in shape, and um, you can't

481
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: be crushing the body in the weight room too much.

482
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: I don't think in July because you don't want to

483
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: be beat up going into training camp. But being in

484
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: good physical shape, I think it's huge, right because your

485
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: body goes through a lot come training camp and and

486
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: being in good shape is huge. And and also taking

487
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: the time off, right, you gotta you gotta learn to

488
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: separate work and recharge batter when you got when you

489
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: got some time off six weeks here or whatever at

490
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: the end of the month. Um, you need some time

491
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: to get away, right once training camp comes just on

492
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: for six months, right, like, uh, we have a kid.

493
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm my wife and I have a kid is almost

494
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: a year and a half, and so it's been obviously

495
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: amazing being in the off season now spending time trying

496
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: to get as much time with him as possible because

497
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: I know once August such as being a latrobe like

498
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: absolutely going there for two and a half weeks, three

499
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: weeks everywhere we're there, and then you know, the season

500
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: such a grind. Um, it's such a grind. So just

501
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: just being mentally prepared for that and being on the

502
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 1: right state of mind to be ready for that grind, well,

503
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: the grind certainly right around the corner. But how important

504
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: is an O T a session like this, especially with

505
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of new pieces on the

506
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: offensive line. You included James Daniels included new piece on

507
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: the defensive side. It's a very young roster overall. How

508
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: important is these days here where they'revoluntary but a lot

509
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: of good attendance here, Like you guys are growing as

510
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: a team. I have to imagine. Yeah, you know, I

511
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: don't think it's I don't think it's so much the

512
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: huge football aspect of our team stuff. We're not going

513
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: to like really full speed and um, but it's really

514
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: getting to getting with your coaches, learning their Techniquely a

515
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: new offense line coach here and obviously new for me,

516
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: but um learning new techniques again, being in the same

517
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: room as the whole offensive line, being in the same

518
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: room as your position group, and being around the quarterbacks

519
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: and running backs and and just being around the whole team.

520
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: And we were just talking and they're like, there's there's

521
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: no atmosphere in the world like an NFL locker room,

522
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: and being in that locker room is so special. So

523
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: especially on the new team with new people, um, so

524
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: many new people this year, especially being in that locker

525
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: room is huge. Well, we really appreciate your time. I

526
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: know you've got a million things going on and probably

527
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: meetings or are other things you gotta do. Are just

528
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: getting back to that little boy in your family, Mason Cale,

529
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: thank you so much for the time and we'll talk

530
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: to you soon. Appreciate you guys. Thanks you there. He

531
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: is Steeler's new offensive lineman, Mason Cole. Thanks to him

532
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: for the time. We're gonna take a break here. When

533
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: we come back, we will continue the conversation. You got

534
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: Tom and until one o'clock and in three hours with Dale,

535
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: Lally and Matt That was new Steelers center Mason Cole.

536
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: Earlier today with West Shoulder and Tom Opferman and uh,

537
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: he's a well spoken young man. Yeah, so is Daniels.

538
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: I think these guys are both very much in that

539
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: that offensive line leadership type guys. You know, again, they've

540
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: been around the league a little bit. Um. Cole was

541
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,239
Speaker 1: a third round pick of the Cardinals. Uh, then get

542
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 1: traded to the Vikings for a sixth round pick, uh,

543
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: and then became a free agent, so uh, you know,

544
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: there's there's a little bit of pedigree there. Of course,

545
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: Daniels was the second round pick. So they've rebuilt this

546
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: thing largely, you know, right now without any first round pick.

547
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: So it's it's similar to what they did in the

548
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: early part of its starting in two thousand and ten

549
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: with with adding Marquise Pouncey in the first round and

550
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: then the Castro two years later and then Gilbert in

551
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: the second round and things that they're doing it without

552
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: using those premium not the premium picks, and who knows.

553
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean again, I've thrown us out there before this

554
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: week is maybe next year we look at their number

555
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: one needs a tackle and that's the completion of it

556
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: all and either Chokes or Green doesn't work out, or

557
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: maybe they're one hole away from really having a big

558
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: time OH line one year from now, or maybe this

559
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: is good enough and you just keep reinforcement with the

560
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: third round pick here and there, another free agent and

561
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: things like that. Again, I think depth is really key. Um.

562
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: I think Daniels has a much higher ceiling than Cole,

563
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: but I think Cole is going to be a serviceable player. Um. Again,

564
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: both were really well spoken, outgoing. You could see some

565
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: leadership traits, and again they have a lot of experience

566
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: for being the age they are. I think Cole is

567
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: a better run blocker than he is in protection. And

568
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: I think they want to they want guys coming off

569
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: a ball. Yeah, uh you know if you I'm looking

570
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: here at football outsiders and they're adjusted line yards where

571
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: everybody ranked last year, And again people were talking about

572
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: the steel, Well, it's just Steelers offensive line is the

573
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: worse in the league. Here were the teams that were

574
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: below them. This is a running metric, right, yeah, this

575
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: is the adjusted line yards. Steelers were were tight at

576
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: three point eight four yards and if you go back

577
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: two days ago, I had they had to face more

578
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: stack boxes than most teams in the league. It's not

579
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: all right. Baltimore was twenty nine at three point eight

580
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: two yards and that was with I mean, Lamar played

581
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: twelve games last year. He did, he did, and frankly,

582
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: Huntley wasn't terrible either, you know, right, Miami came in

583
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: then at three point eight one. Then you had the

584
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: Giants at three point seven four. Let me stop you

585
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: real quick, because I think truly Miami and the Giants

586
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: were fighting hard to be the worst offensive line in

587
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: the league. Yea like Steels were much better than those guys.

588
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: But last in the league was Houston and three point

589
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: three three, which they were a full half a yard

590
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: worse than the Steelers. Yeah, and again we talked to

591
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: little Houston earlier in the week. Tonsil is a good player.

592
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: But the number and I don't have the number, but

593
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: the reflection that really shows how bad they were. First

594
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: down runs were like historically bad, you know, it's always

595
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: second and nine. This is another one that's surprising. So

596
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: Cleveland led the league in adjusted Okay, I guess I'll

597
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: buy that, you know, but they gave up forty nine sacks.

598
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: Yeah wow. And they don't throw the ball a huge

599
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: percentage of the time. I mean, they're just a sack right.

600
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: It was eight point seven, um, which is interesting. The

601
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: only ones worse than Network were Chicago, Cincinnati and then Cleveland.

602
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: Then you had the Jets Baltimore. So Baltimore was at

603
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: the bottom of the runs stats and at the top

604
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: of the sack both bad. You mean, yeah wow. I

605
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't have lumped Baltimore with those o lines as being horrible.

606
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: Not picking on Alvi littleeva, but he's been shot for

607
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: a little while. And they had some other spots on

608
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: that line that were the guys in and out. Yeah.

609
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: And we've talked about this a couple of times this week.

610
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Stanley is a crucial, crucial, you know, guy

611
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: that they need in Baltimore as much as anyone not

612
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: named Lamar really. Yeah, And the Steelers were actually at

613
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: the bottom of the list, towards the bottom of the

614
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: list in the league at five point six percent in

615
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: terms of their sack percentage. Of some of that's because

616
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger was getting the ball so quick. I was a

617
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore holds a ball a lot longer than the Steelers,

618
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: without a doubt, Without a doubt, they're both of the

619
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: opposite ends. But I mean it's the same thing. You

620
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: know what Tampa Bay's line gets credit for, Well, they

621
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: don't give up any sacks. Well, Tom Brady over the

622
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: course of his career is not taking many sacks. No.

623
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: Brady remarkably is not far off Ben in terms of

624
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: getting the ball out quick, but also has one of

625
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: the highest average depths of targets in the league too.

626
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's hard to pull off. I mean, tip

627
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: your cap to the TB twelve. He'll just you know,

628
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: he'll he'll just throw to the you know, I'm just

629
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: gonna toss one up to this spot and let the guy, yeah,

630
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: go get it. And he has receivers to do it,

631
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 1: and he has the line to do it. I mean,

632
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: Worth's is one of the best linemen in the league,

633
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: and he also has a high percentage of throws that

634
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: are boom. Get outcome, outcome outcom out and when he

635
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: takes the shots, he you know, he hits them. The

636
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: one that's that's really impressive on here to me is

637
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: that Buffalo was second in adjusted sack yards or sex

638
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: four give up twenty seven sacks last year with a

639
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: quarterback who's a running quarterback. Yeah, and when's to hold

640
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: the ball and say, you know so you're saying their

641
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: second best. Yeah, Wow, that's interesting. I wonder, I mean, again,

642
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: there's something some of Like all stats, some metrics can lie.

643
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: I wonder, you know, like the Ravens were a heavily

644
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: blitzed team, which you wouldn't think they were. I'd be

645
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: real hesitant to blitz Alan and Mahomes. I wonder if

646
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: they're at the bottom league, know how many Like that's

647
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: a wonderful statue just showed, and I think it shows

648
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: how good that team is in general, and their lines

649
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: not great, it's fine, But I wonder on average drop back,

650
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: how many rushers do they face verse other teams? You

651
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: know what I mean? That would be a nice correlation.

652
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: I would think that Josh Allen gets spied quite a bit.

653
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: I would think get spied quite bit. And the receivers

654
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: are dangerous and if you know, he's almost like an

655
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: old school Ben If but a better runner. If I

656
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: blitz him and he shrugs off Devin Bush or some

657
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: linebacker that he's bigger than. Now, I got less guys

658
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: on the back end to deal with them, has to

659
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: tackle the thoroughbred, you know, right, the best of luck

660
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: with that. So it also shows Alan's development too. No,

661
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 1: I think it just as a passer and as a quarterback. Absolutely,

662
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: you know that. I mean I look here at that.

663
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: You know the teams that led the league in sacks allowed.

664
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: I mean Chicago was by far at the top nine

665
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: of them against the Browns in one game, maybe fields

666
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: first started with twelve sacks, right, um, And that just

667
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: goes to show you how sacks are a quarterback very

668
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: much a quarterback stack said, as much as anything else.

669
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: So Ben got the ball out very very quick. But

670
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: he also still had an advanced mind for knowing where

671
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: the blitz was coming from. I wonder how that will

672
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: change for the Steelers this year. And it almost doesn't

673
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: matter to me which quarterback it is. Although Pickets had

674
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: a luxury and I'm not even calling it a negative

675
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: because he got away with it and he was one

676
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: of the best quarterbacks the nation last year. But he

677
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: held the ball very long time because he had a

678
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: good old line, he had a good scheme, and he

679
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: had a dynamite receiver that he was able to hold

680
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: the ball longer. He won't be able to hold it

681
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: as long at the next level. But he's also a

682
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: pretty good mind as rookies go, you know, like mac

683
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: Jones adjusted pretty well to pressures and you know, not

684
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: turning them into sacks. And that's another pro football thing,

685
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: is pro football focus thing is how many pressures turn

686
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: into sacks? You know, the pressures are gonna come no

687
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: matter what. And they even judged pass rushers that way.

688
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: I mean, what percentage of t js preussures did he

689
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: actually turn into sacks? You know, But who's defining pressure?

690
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: You know? So many of these metrics are I get

691
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 1: within three yards us at a right, right, right? I mean,

692
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: so many of these metrics are defined differently, you know, so,

693
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: but they are interesting that you can learn a lot

694
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,439
Speaker 1: just for for people who are wondering. I just looked

695
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: up the same stat here in team for the Bears

696
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: that was Mitch Robiskie's second year in the league. Is

697
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: the most games that he started, actually second most. He

698
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: started fifteen his next year, but he started fourteen of

699
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: the games for the Bears that year when he was healthy,

700
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: and he uh was sacked. Just where's that at? The

701
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 1: thirty three times? The NFL average that year was forty

702
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so he wasn't holding onto them. Not too bad, Okay.

703
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: I would have thought the opposite. And he has the

704
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: ability to to escape. Yeah. I would have thought young

705
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks gonna process a little slower, and he's a big,

706
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: strong guy that might be willing to take a hit

707
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: to shrug somebody off if need be. I would have

708
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: thought that number have been higher. Yeah, so interesting. Yeah,

709
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: but Mason Cole one of the big additions for the

710
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: Steelers in this offseason. We're gonna take another break. He

711
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: has Matt Williamson, I am Dale Lawley. They would have

712
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: killed for a Mason Cole last year. Yes, Like I

713
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: remember Kevin saying something like I wish I'd have got

714
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: one more And I think that's the guy. Uh, We're

715
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna take another break. He is Matt Williams and I

716
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: am Dale Ally. You're listening to the Drive here on

717
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. We're live from the U p M.

718
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: C Rooney Sports Complex here at Steeler O T A

719
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: s And we'll be back with more right after this

720
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: a welcome back. I'm dale Ally here with Matt Waves

721
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: and were arrived from Steelers O T A sessions here

722
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: at the U p M. C Rooney Sports Complex and

723
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: Matt I was on Football Outsiders there for the last segment,

724
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: so I thought it just looked something up here, and

725
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: I looked up, uh, where Ben Roethlisberger ranked last year

726
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: in terms of quarterback d v o A and things

727
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: of that nature. The Football Outsiders uh rankings here, So

728
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: let us year Ben Roethlisberger in terms of total d

729
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: v o A and that is their metrics that they use.

730
00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: He was twice, he was Okay, Um he was and

731
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: QBR which that's the the seal. Yeah, Uh he was

732
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 1: sixteenth and E yards I'm not sure what E yards

733
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: are yards? Table explain. I'm gonna look up the yards here.

734
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: Yards are effective yards. That is a d d o

735
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: A into translate dvo into yards per attempt figure. Okay, okay,

736
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: so quite understand that. Fair enough. So there's this this

737
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: feeling that somehow the Steelers this year can't be better

738
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: at quarterback than what they were last year. Yeah, I

739
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: don't under and there are some things that I look

740
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: at and say, Okay, they they're they're not going to

741
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 1: have more fourth quarter comebacks this year than they probably

742
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: There's two things to me that I think will be

743
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: missed or lacking, And that's the biggest one is when

744
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: the chips are down and it's late in the game

745
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: and Ben has been playing and has figured out the defense,

746
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: he clearly did his best work. And another thing we

747
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: mentioned too, and we're talking about sacks taken, he's been

748
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: on the block. I mean there's not a blitz he

749
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: hasn't seen, or the tendencies that people give away played

750
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: the Browns a hundred a hundred times, row anything new

751
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: at him from infamiliarity with weather in different stadiums and

752
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: things like that that maybe the average fan doesn't think about.

753
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: He's got that down. I mean that that's not gonna

754
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: be a problem at all. But I think there's a

755
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: lot of areas of quarterback play that are going to improve. Yeah.

756
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: So what I did was I went back and looked

757
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: at Mitch Robinski's d v O A. That was a

758
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: year he made the Pro Bowl, his first full season

759
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: as a starter for the Bears. That was this year

760
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: two for him. Um, And so that year Mitch Robinsky

761
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: in terms of d v o A was nineteenth in

762
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: the league at three point six. Yeah, you'll take that. Um.

763
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: That was ahead of Kirk Cousins, ahead of Matthew Stafford,

764
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: ahead of Lying at that point, ahead of Derek Carr,

765
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: ahead of Cam Newton, ahead of the Manning, Nick Foles,

766
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: Deck Prescott, Marcus Mariotta, case Keenum, Alex Smith, Sam Donald,

767
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: Blake Bold. I mean they were the guys right ahead

768
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: of him. Now Nick Mollins was there. Okay. I will

769
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: say Niners quarterbacks always score really high on this and

770
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: that's a lot of its scheme. Jimmy's gonna score better

771
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: as a Niner than his next home because he's gonna

772
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 1: be thrown to a lot of wide open guys because

773
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: everybody selling action boom. But you know, he hits a

774
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: guy in stride, you know, and it helps a quarterback down.

775
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: So the d v o A was was again middle

776
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: of the pack that year. Yeah, I'm gonna look up

777
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: his twenty nineteen. He started fifteen games that year. Now,

778
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: he had an injured shoulder that year. Okay, so that's

779
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: very relevant because he didn't run nearly as much as

780
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: he would have. He was essentially he was essentially Baker Mayfield.

781
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: He was playing with this a separated left shoulder. Well

782
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: that year he was d Yeah, that adds up. Okay,

783
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: So then he comes back, they don't pick up his

784
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: fifth year option. In his d v o A, he

785
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: was just he won the starting job coming out of

786
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: training camp, lost it in Week three, sat for I

787
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: think four games or something that maybe four or five games.

788
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was there and the Nick Foles started, and

789
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: then Trubisky came back and won the starting job back

790
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: and was the start of the rest of the season,

791
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: the final part of the season. I think he ended

792
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: up starting maybe eleven games that year. And so his

793
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: d v o A that year where he had here

794
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: whiskey Trubisky tra Whiskey. Maybe he didn't have enough. Maybe

795
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: oh no, there is hey four. So I've seen things

796
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: this year thus far, like Pro Football Network put out

797
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 1: a a pole. Didn't they do something today? They did

798
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: the top thirty two quarterbacks in the league this year

799
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: and had Trubisky at thirty first. He's never been thirty

800
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: first in d v ol A in his entire career.

801
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: Seven was the lowest that he's been in a year

802
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: in which he was hurt the two years that he's

803
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: the other two years he's been nineteen and last year

804
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger was okay. So I mean, I guess you

805
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: can look at that a lot of different ways, Like

806
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: I've been. Chris Simms puts out his quarterback rankings two

807
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: and he puts him in five five quarterback increments starting

808
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: with thirty down to one, and I think he had

809
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: Mitch like twenty fifth thish something like that. But basically said,

810
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock me at all. If he's middle of

811
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: the road, you know, if he learned a lot in

812
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo and looking at his traits, and if he's a couple,

813
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 1: if he's advanced in a few areas from his early

814
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: time and he's in a better scheme and or people

815
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: are helping him more, I would fully expect him to

816
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: get to the middle of the road, which is where

817
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: he was in that second year. Is he's one year starter,

818
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: his only real healthy season to judge off of, and

819
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: he was a younger guy, then boy, you'd take that, though,

820
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: you'd absolutely take that. Twenty twenty twenty season. The guys

821
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: around him. The guy right ahead of him was Joe

822
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: Burrow in his rookies rookie season v o A Y

823
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: and much of everybody loved Joe Burrow that rookie year.

824
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: He was got hurt. Yeah. Right after him was was

825
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: Mullins Okay, very scheme driven Tua in his rookie year yea.

826
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: And his rookie Gardner Minshew, who people wanted the Steelers. Yeah,

827
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: he came mensh. He gotta get Gardner Minshew. Same you class,

828
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,800
Speaker 1: he came in and played well. Drew Lock, Nick Foles,

829
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, Cam Newton, Daniel Jones, Sam Donald, Carson Wentz

830
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: was all the way down at thirty last year in Philly, right,

831
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and Dwayne Haskins. Interesting, some of these guys

832
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: are still in the league. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, were

833
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 1: starting quarterbacks still in the league. But you want the

834
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: company to be better than that? Yes, I mean, you

835
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like that, a lot of those

836
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: guys were working progresses and learning, and I'm sure Wilson,

837
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: Lawrence Fields or at the bottom of the v o

838
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: A this path past year, you know, I mean, so

839
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: it's time to take a step past those guys, then

840
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: the prospects will call him the process. In terms of

841
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: of d v o A last season, again I mentioned

842
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: that Ben Roethlisberger, he was okay, the guys ahead of him,

843
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: Davis Mills, Okay, actually no, I'm sorry, Yeah, I get

844
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: that wrong. No, Okay, d v o A Dave Davis

845
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: Mills came in at minus eight point seven. Baker Mayfield

846
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: was minus eight. Tyler Heineke. Heineke was twenty second and

847
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: minus five point seven. Matt Ryan was minus four point three.

848
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: The beginning of Ryan season started really rough. To Jared

849
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: Goff was minus three point six. I expect maybe not Ryan.

850
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: With the Colts, I would expect Trabiskie. I'm just we're

851
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: operating on the assumption Trabisky wins it, and then we

852
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: don't know if people were not to be better than

853
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,919
Speaker 1: that neighborhood. Yeah, I think he goes to the tier

854
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: above that. Lamar was minus two point nine. He was nineteen,

855
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 1: which is a little surprising. U Toa was eighteenth minus

856
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: point seven. Jalen Hurts was seventeenth at minus point four. Uh.

857
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was plus one point eight. He was sixteen.

858
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 1: He had a better year to people think Josh Allen

859
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: was fifteenth at four point nine. So trabiskis two thousand

860
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: eighteen season at plus what I say, three point four

861
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: would have come in right between Carson Wentz and Josh Allen.

862
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: It's like the quarterback last he'd have been the sixteenth

863
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: rand quarterback last year. So if he's that, If he's that,

864
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: you're in home run. Yeah and again and and continues

865
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: to look better as the season goes on, you know

866
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: what I mean, not just he had a couple of

867
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: good games here. And the other part of the equation

868
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: is he sat last year. Right, He's completely healthy. He's

869
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: completely healthy, right. I'm sure his body is happy about

870
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: right right, right, spry and strong and yeah. Now I

871
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: think he's in a good spot too, bringing a lot

872
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,359
Speaker 1: more to the offense than what they had. And he's

873
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: twenty seven going in going into you know, age twenty eight. Um,

874
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: that's what things I like to add signing it for quarterbacks,

875
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: that's that's a nice I think he's getting to that

876
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 1: point where the two axises meet where your your your physicality,

877
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: your skills decline basically, you know, as you have about

878
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: thirty two on, Yeah, where your knowledge gains and gains

879
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: and gains and the career Ben was a perfect example

880
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: of the mind's there, but the body is not there anymore,

881
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: you know. And a lot of these guys in their

882
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: prime are meshing those two right around eight. And I

883
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: think Trabisky has got a good chance to have both

884
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: those two lines hit at the right point. Yeah. I

885
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: think it's gonna it's It's a very very good signing,

886
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: uh in terms of that. And I don't think life

887
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: and adventure and it's waiting. Hi. This is Merril Hodge
