1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back.

3
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: I am Dale Lilly here with Matt Willyamson Mere live

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: from Steelers training camp here at St. Vincent College. And

5
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers just wrapped up, uh, their penultimate practice of

6
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: this training camp, and I gotta tell you not the

7
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: least eventful practice of the year. It's pretty pretty much

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: walk through yeah, um, exaggerated walk through yeah. Which hey,

9
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's that was my design. I mean

10
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: we're not saying, oh, they didn't try hard out here

11
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: or whatever. I mean, it's it's just a down day

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: in terms of physicality, the testing of it. I'm sure

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: they have some sports science people. Maybe they're even telling them, hey,

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: he's back today, you know, going back because you're gonna

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: play your guys. Um. And I would my hunches if

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: you were to interview some of the coaches that'd say,

17
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: this is more of a mental day, you know, knowing

18
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: where to be again, sort of a walk through environment,

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: but against the scout team type look. So that that's

20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: the purpose behind it all. And I know that might

21
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: might not be super exciting for everybody out there. But

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: this is a this is a marathon, and you're managing

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: a football team for hopefully all the way up until

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: you know the super Bowl, And that's the plan. In

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: days like this are important to not beat the crap

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: out of these guys. You know, just watching George Pickens

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: catch and throw the football down here, he's throwing about

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: ten yards away from the coach who he's throwing with her.

29
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: You can zip the football little bit. Yeah, I just

30
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: saw that that. It comes out quick and it comes

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: out hot. Yeah, let's see some more of that. M

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: here we go. It's a weird little release. It's a

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: real short release, but man, it comes out, it comes

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: out hot. Yeah, that's funny, you know, imas he just

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: whatever asked, you know, I'm sure he's good. He wants

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: to do. He just picks it up and does it.

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: That's a strange release. Thing comes to his ear and

38
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: but like there's no backswing to it. Yeah, it's just

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: straight to the ear and out. Yeah, it looks like

40
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: he's even competing with that, And I get the impression

41
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: that he just competes with everything. He's ultra competitive. Watching

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: Derek Twiska do a practice some long snapping down here.

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: He's one of the guys. He's working with Christian quinz Um.

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't hurt his cause it's one of the guys

45
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: that you mentioned is the possible backup at the long snapper.

46
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: Also mentioned that one wasn't so great. He also mentioned

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: that La Glue is yea, yeah. The other guys the

48
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: watch Brothers, of course, yeah, of course, that's why wouldn't they, right, Yeah,

49
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: they probably did it on their high school team or

50
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: something and have some experience. Derek should work on that. Yeah,

51
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: he probably does, but I'm sure he does. Yeah, I

52
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: think that's who you'd want to be the backup. Although

53
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: if he's the backup long snapper, then whatever his position

54
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: is on the punt him or whatever has to be

55
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: filled by somebody else. You get worse. Yeah. Yeah, but

56
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: that's an emergency situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But they

57
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: do have guys that work on this. It's not like no,

58
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: it's not like we'll talk about, well don't they work

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: on that like that. Guys who work on this stuff

60
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: work on Now, you do it in this kind of setting,

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: you might not do it again during the regulation, but

62
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: the Danny and coach know who the backup long snapper

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: is and the third spring guy an hour before game day. Yeah,

64
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: in case you know, he goes down. They know, depending

65
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: on fun who's available. Yeah, the contrary to popular belief,

66
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: it's not. Hey, our long snapper went down. Who do

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: you guys think we should put in? Yeah, you know

68
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: on the headset, you know, as you're kicking off, you know,

69
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: like watching. I'm watching Tuska do this, and I don't

70
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: know that he's going to be in the missage. You

71
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: don't love his chances. I bounced the last one back.

72
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: I'll see if this was a little bit better. Oh,

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: that's horrific. Nos, juice on it at all. It's a

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: lot harder than you think it really is. You gotta

75
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: get that hand. Yeah. You got to create a lot

76
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: of velocity, a lot of RPMs with the spiral. It's funny.

77
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: I talked to Quints about that today and he said

78
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: that he did it for one year at Duquese. He

79
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: was a long snapper for one year at Dukanz. So

80
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: he was at a tryout as a linebacker with the

81
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: Packers and undrafted undrafted guys, you know, there for a

82
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: tryout and John Wojakowski who was a finalist for the

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: Steelers GM job. One of the guys. And he said,

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, he was there and he was a dude.

85
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: Dakowski is a Dukeete grad. He said, hey, didn't you

86
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: long snap one year at Dukane or didn't want you

87
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: a long snapper. He was happy to know that because

88
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: because he knew that. Yeah, he said, someone else at

89
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: that tryout at long snappy would have known. And Quinton

90
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: said that, he said, yeah, I did it. He said,

91
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: let me see you do that here after you do

92
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: your linebacker workouts. And he said he did it. And

93
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: what Chakowski told him that, Hey, um, you're not bad

94
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: at this. Yeah, you're not bad at once you Once

95
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: you work on that three or four years, you'll be

96
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Wow. And here he is and here

97
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: he is. Wow, that's amazing. I tell this story too often,

98
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: but I always think if you could teach a young

99
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: kid to only long snap and they have some size

100
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: and some athletic ability, you probably get scholarship out of it. Anything.

101
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to do it. Nobody. It's not something that

102
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: that everybody works out, and especially we have a little

103
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: bit of linebacker background and contact y yeah. Yeah, that's

104
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: why I see a lot of those guys. That's what

105
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: they went to. The body type. You don't want three

106
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: pounders doing it, you know. That's what people when people

107
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: ask you and why don't they use just use the

108
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: center to do it. You don't want your center that

109
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: you know, putting a center out to go to go

110
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: run down a punt. They don't have to tackle anybody. Yeah,

111
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, do you think they're gonna get a Ray

112
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Ray McLeod or you know a guy like that on

113
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: the field. That's fine on field goals and things and that, yeah, yeah, yeah,

114
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: but not not for punch coverage. You know, then you're

115
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: you're trying to get tackle one guy with ten instead

116
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: of eleven, right, actually nine because you don't want you

117
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: right right, and you decrease your chances of making a

118
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: big play in a big way. Absolutely. Um. Some of

119
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: these stuff after the after practice or fun though. Yesterday

120
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: they were playing saw Sucker and you see them do

121
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: things that they're out of the ordinary and it's kind

122
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: of looks like they're all having fun today. Pickings having

123
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: to blast by himself here. Yeah, you that they're running

124
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: around like yeah, he's having fun to Yeah, newborn pony

125
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: and the legs up. There's a human nature of this

126
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: too that they're looking forward to cam't being over. And

127
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure they're getting a lot out of it.

128
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: But we've been here a long time. I wouldn't mind

129
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: going home tomorrow either. Tomorrow, I'm sure they'll be bouncing,

130
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, like there'll be a lot of energy here tomorrow. Yeah. Absolutely,

131
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: No soccer ball today though, No, No, that was fun

132
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: to watch it yesterday, I guess it was. But a

133
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: lot of guys still out of here in the field

134
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: getting some work in. I think this has Benny Snow

135
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: on the jugs. Yeah, and see much from him today.

136
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: He did something, he was out there and some stuff. Yeah,

137
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: it's tough to tell. The running backs and general didn't

138
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: do much either. They're not out there breaking tackles, you know,

139
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: they're just running real basic runs and things like that

140
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: fits and formed, you know. Yeah, And of course Deante

141
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: Johnson is still out there working catching the football as

142
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: well as Naggi watching him go through his drills. And

143
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing with Johnson, like, you know, he's not

144
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: a vocal type leader, no, right, but the other guys

145
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: see him out there doing this stuff and that that's beneficial.

146
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: How do I get a contract too? Well, this is

147
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: a start. Put the working, put the work in. How

148
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: do I catch a hunter balls? How do I become

149
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: a pro bowler? Well, here's an example, you know, right,

150
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: and what he's doing is it's on an accident. You know.

151
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: This is after you know, running fifty routes during practice.

152
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah right right, and sometimes with a hundred degrees and

153
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: you know you're you're beat, but you're gonna do it anyway.

154
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: Just getting the working and so that you know that

155
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: that to me, Um again, that's that's leadership. That's you know,

156
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: the other guys see that. Yeah, it becomes they start

157
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: to do it. Oh yeah, yeah, And so you know,

158
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: you see, got other guys out there, and that will

159
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: only increase. I mean, his reputation will keep growing. He'll

160
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: get a little older, he'll be a little more mature,

161
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: you know. I mean it's a seven year old here,

162
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: like this guy has been doing it for a long time.

163
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,119
Speaker 1: He's he becomes a leader. Yeah, that's how this works.

164
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: Families and kids out there again today much I gotta

165
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: kick out some of these little little dudes running around

166
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, there's Uh, I'm trying to remember

167
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: the player now. Um I was talking about doing that. Uh,

168
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: you know when his dad played and he was he's

169
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, he's I'm I'm out there running around the

170
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: football field with all these great guys and and then

171
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: you become that guy I say, I mean it was

172
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: an Ironheads kids. I'm sure there there is something to

173
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: be said for growing up around it and understanding the

174
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: professionalism as we talked about, and just being around I'm

175
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: watching Jalen Warren walk across the field here again, got

176
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: the football tuck. But how much longer that's gonna keep up?

177
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: Probably through tomorrow. I would think tomorrow is the last

178
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: day for that. I don't know if they'll put him

179
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: on a plane to what Jacksonville at the walking to

180
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: the the FBO Center in Pittsburgh, driving his car back

181
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: to hispartment or house or whatever, ball under his arm.

182
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: But he's just funny to see that because that's something

183
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: you'd see in high school. Yeah, it's a college high

184
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: school thing. He fumbled once in a game. You know,

185
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that it's the end of the world,

186
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: but they're stressing it, which means that they care about him. Yeah,

187
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: if they didn't care about him, then none of this

188
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: will be going on. Absolutely. Yeah, he's it's a big

189
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: game for him this weekend. Yeah, yeah, you know, don't

190
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: do that again. Don't do that again. I want McFarland

191
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: to build on what he did too. Yeah, that's who

192
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: he's walking with right now. Both of those guys have

193
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: had a really good camps. Yeah, and they would be

194
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: a fine set of compliments to one another if Harris

195
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: were out, And I think both will actually see the

196
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: field if Harris is I think that for sure. With

197
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: with McFarland, Yeah, Land, I think he's kind of carved

198
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: out a little niche for himself here. Even with that

199
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: wide receiver room being as deep as it is, he

200
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: he brings a little bit of a skill set there.

201
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: A little matchup issue that, Uh, I don't know what

202
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: you do if you're you're not gonna put a corner

203
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: on him, no, because they don't run all over you. Yeah, right,

204
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: And you're not gonna put a safety on him because

205
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a linebacker. I think that's why

206
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: you pay Derwin James, those type of dudes that are

207
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: if he's if he's taking Derwin James out of the equation,

208
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: then Fireman has something going for It's a win for

209
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: the offense as well. I mean, it's pretty rare to

210
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: find five to seven really strong cover guys and the

211
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Steelers five some that they put out there on offense

212
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: demands it, you know, I mean if it's a McFarland

213
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: or you know, even Hayward. Now, yeah, they've done a

214
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: nice job of building this receiving group. Yeah, the past

215
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: catch the group of past catchers that they have uh

216
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: different shape, sizes, speeds, uh all summer blockers, you know. Yeah,

217
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: they give you a different look out there with those guys,

218
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: whereas you know, you know, we started the show off

219
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: today talking about the secondary. The secondary, they've done a

220
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: nice job of finding pieces that are similar that they

221
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: can mix and match with we ask them to do

222
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: the same job. But there's still a lot of them. Yeah,

223
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: this pass catching group is just similar. Yeah, it's just

224
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot. There's speed, their size, their size and speed.

225
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's interesting. That was one of

226
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: my problems with McCleod. You know, it's like, okay, if

227
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: you're a super dynamic guy or you have as much

228
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: big playability as Calvin Austin. I don't care that you're

229
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: that small inn block anybody, you know what I mean.

230
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: But I just didn't see enough of the positive, you know,

231
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: and he was out there a lot. I mean that's

232
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: part of that was five snaps. Who was a big difference.

233
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: If he was out there a dozen STAPs, I wouldn't

234
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: have a problem with it. Yeah. I think part of

235
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: that was just the offense that they were running. As

236
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: you know, he's not a guy who's going to catch

237
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: a five yard in break a tackle and and and

238
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: you know he's off to the races. It's just not

239
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: his game. And I know the Niners like his after

240
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: the catch stuff, but he's not gonna be Debo or

241
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: Auca after the catcher or you know what I mean.

242
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: They signed him to be a returner. Yeah, absolutely, so

243
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: see how that works out for him. You know, I'm

244
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: rooting for him. You know. It's a good offense from

245
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: to go to him, but they needed a returner. It

246
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: looks like the well Benny still still done there catching

247
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: football's uh as his Deonte Johnson. You can't see these

248
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: guys don't put the work in. No, No, they definitely

249
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: do get some guys down there working on some pass

250
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: rush stuff here and the other on releases, and so

251
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: guys always out here. There's always a handful of the

252
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: still well after practice kids out there too, And that's

253
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: the thing, you know. I like, like I see people

254
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: now questioning, like Devin Bush's effort efforts not the issue.

255
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: Effort's not the issue. I think it'd be different if

256
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: there are reports coming out left and right. This guy

257
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: doesn't work, he doesn't listen, you know, he's at his

258
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: shape right right, right. I've never heard anything close to

259
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: that Bush, you know, or Rudolph, who's also in the

260
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: dog gisles for whatever dumb reason, you know. I think

261
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: those guys are workers. Rudolph in particular, I know, puts

262
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: in a ton of time. I think Bush does too,

263
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: and he certainly had that reputation coming out of Michigan

264
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I just think with with him and

265
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: the interviews that he has done, and obviously there was

266
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: one yesterday, I don't think he's real comfortable in those

267
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: kind of situations. I'm glad you explained that to me

268
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: because I kind of feel like I'm one of the

269
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: other fans that saw that and thought this isn't very endearing.

270
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: He's got very engaging you know, he's got a hat on,

271
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: he's chewing gum, and he's got his head down. You know,

272
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: like be more interested was my initial thought. But then

273
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: you kind of laid it out and said, he's not

274
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: super comfortable doing these things. You know, not everyone is.

275
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: So it is rough. I mean you think about it,

276
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: and I've interviewed thousands of people over the years, you know,

277
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: from young kids too, you know, people who are eighty

278
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: years old plus. And some guys are just very comfortable

279
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: in their skin and those kind of situations and some aren't.

280
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: And you know you're gonna you're going to have that

281
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: in this situation. Is is a is it a professional

282
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: football player? It's not for everyone, and some guys get

283
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: used to it. Some guys start off not very good

284
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: at it or or purposely bad at it, and then

285
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: they you know, they kind of realized that, hey, I

286
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: can I can have fun with this. Uh. And some

287
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: guys just never get that to that point. And I

288
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: bet and and and people get better at it as well.

289
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there's they're fortunate enough at the college if

290
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: you especially go to a big school in NFL level

291
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: that there's professionals to tell you better ways. And I'm

292
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: sure that's even true with Omar and Andy. And you

293
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: know they're gonna be brand new head coaches. You know,

294
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: like all these Patriot UH assistant coaches that went on

295
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: to head gigs, well, they were never in front of

296
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: the camera. Anything they weren't with the opportunity to do.

297
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: And now they're the face of the Giants in New

298
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: York every day, or the Lions or whatever, or Notre

299
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: Dame or you know, all these places He's Belichick disciples

300
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: went to. That had to be a brutal adjustment for

301
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: those guys. And they've been exit and owen and up

302
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: and behind the scenes and now they do all that stuff. Yeah,

303
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: and they didn't exactly learn from the master. With Belichick,

304
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: they can't take the same approach right right. I mean

305
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: I can remember talking to him when he was still

306
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Browns and like, wow, is

307
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: that guy just bland? Right? And he wasn't winning at

308
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: that point to be that you don't get away with it, right, Yeah.

309
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: It's kind of like if you fungus on your shower

310
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: shoes and you're winning twenty in the show. Well, then

311
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: you're colorful. If otherwise you're just a slob. You know,

312
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: same thing when you got a bunch of rings. Well,

313
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: Belichick's what you want. Belichick's Belichick. That's the way it is.

314
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: But if you're winning, if you're not, if you're Patricia

315
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: and you're not winning any games and you're taking that

316
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: same approach, well it doesn't fly quite as well, not

317
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: quite as well. You're not gonna make any friends in

318
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: uh in the right places, and you're gonna get skewered. Matt.

319
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: Let's take another break up. Matt Williams and I am

323
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson, one home of

324
00:15:52,760 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: the Black and Gold. Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I

325
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: am Dale Lelie. He is Matt Williamson. We're live here

326
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: from Sheeler's training camp at St. Fenci College on the

327
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: ESPN nine seventy and Steelers Nation Radio. And I met Uh.

328
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: There's a couple of pieces here on the ringer. I

329
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: wanted to talk uh This is by Shiel Coppetia by

330
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: saying that we're correctly no Showkopedia compedia like Wikipedia, I think,

331
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: so okay, yeah, yeah, because show Wipedia. Uh he's predicting

332
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: how every NFL defense will perform in also predicted the offenses,

333
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: and uh, well, looking at this, he has to Baltimore

334
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: Ravens is the number one defense this year. I don't

335
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: know if I see that. I was a little shocked

336
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: to see that. Two. I didn't really go through this

337
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: if I saw the very top and thought really number one.

338
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the session comes really deep and

339
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: you can blitz a lot. But as that's about to say,

340
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: is who the pass rushers? And I don't love the

341
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: linebackers either, No, I don't. I don't either in the

342
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: front seven and generals. Okay, yeah, it's just kinda yeah, yeah,

343
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: I don't see that it. I assume he's assumes they'll

344
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: rebound in a massive way from all the injuries. But

345
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: they were one of the worst defenses in the league

346
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah. Yeah, they finished thirty first. Um, you know,

347
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: I understand they were missing a bunch of guys, but

348
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: of course thirty first. I mean, so it's amongst the

349
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: worst in the league, if not the worst. You know, right,

350
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: yours for play was really bad too in the past,

351
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: or the past defense was horrendous. Uh. Number two years

352
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners, I'm pretty much on board

353
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: with pretty good. Yeah, I mean they rushed the past

354
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: or well that without having to blitz. They have stars

355
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: at the second level, They're well coached. I'm in on them. Yeah.

356
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: Buccaneers third, Okay. My only word the Bucks kind of

357
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: across the board is I hope they just don't get

358
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: old this year, you know what I mean, Like they

359
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: keep bringing the same team back. Yeah, he just keep

360
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: running it back, and that's hard to do in this league.

361
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: But they do have some young guys like Winfield and

362
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, uh try try on and guys like that

363
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: that they've drafted recently, So I think that'd be a

364
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: good good d Uh. They blitzed thirty eight point seven

365
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: percent of the time last year. That was the highest

366
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: in the league. And now Todd Bowles is running the show. Yeah,

367
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: it might go up. And he's done this in the Jets.

368
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean he did this every stop of the way.

369
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: He is a blitz guy. The Rams are number four. Okay,

370
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: as long as the stars are stars and stay healthy. Yeah,

371
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: I mean, but their guys are getting older. They're getting

372
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: little older, and it's a little bit of a fragile model.

373
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's not Ramsey and Donald, they're the

374
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: other guys are just kind of guys, you know. Yeah.

375
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: Number five is Buffalo. They were number one. They were

376
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: number one last year. Um. I know some of the

377
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: real analytic dorcs cited them being number one and said, yes,

378
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: but the weather helped them more than any other defense

379
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: in the league too. I mean, they played some extremely

380
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 1: windy games that game against the Patriots when no one

381
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: could throw the ball at all. Right, you know, but

382
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: it's a very good defense. It's a very good defense.

383
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: Tradeavious White though still not back. Yeah, that's a little

384
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: start suffered in November. It might not be ready to

385
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: start the season. Levi Wallace was starting the starting corner

386
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: opposite him. He's now here. He's the defender. I think

387
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: they can afford to lose least. I mean, with all

388
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: respect those safeties, Von Miller, all those guys, they're gonna

389
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: need White. The Chargers come in at six, so I

390
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: saw today they're the only defense in the league that

391
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: has three fifteen million dollar guys or more, you know

392
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: Biza mac uh. They may even have a fourth so

393
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: super high paid defense um star power, kind of like

394
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: the Rams. I mean their head coach comes over from

395
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: the Rams. I mean they're built that way. I think

396
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: it's a good group though. And j C. Jackson they

397
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: have four the U fifteen million h the Saints or seven. Yes,

398
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: they could get old too, Yeah, but I mean Jordan's coach. Yeah, yeah,

399
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: that's a good group. The Cowboys at eight, they were

400
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: so turnover dependent last year. I don't know if they're

401
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: that group. I know the Steelers are coming first soon here,

402
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: and I would have them well ahead of Dallas. And

403
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: I think Dallas is in a different tier than most

404
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: of these teams we've mentioned. Yeah. Uh, Nine are the Steelers.

405
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: I would have them a little higher. Um. I think

406
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: it's a very good defense. A couple of the names

407
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: you mentioned. I would have Pittsburgh ahead of Yea, so

408
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: we'll see. I think that the Steelers defense can be

409
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: pretty good. They can get back up to being a

410
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: top ten unit this year. If run defense is even

411
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: middle of the road, they'll be really good. Yeah. Tenth

412
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: are the Vikings. Huh, I guess. I mean they put

413
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: a lot of it. They've invested quite a bit in there.

414
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: You get the Neil Hunter backs to Darius Smith. The

415
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: first two picks were on defense, you know, So I

416
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 1: guess I can understand that no Packers up here yet.

417
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: Eleven Packers would be like number one for me. Eleven

418
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: or the Browns. I don't think that's that. I don't know.

419
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have them ahead of the Packers. I wouldn't

420
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: have hardly any of these ahead of the Packers. Um.

421
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: I think the Browns secondary is pretty good, you know,

422
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: newsommon War, I don't know. And I think their defensive

423
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: tackles are very poor. Yea, they might be junk. Twelve

424
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: are the Titans. That's a good group. I mean they're

425
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: front four is really good A while their corners are

426
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: highly drafted. Can farly be a guy or not. Bayard's

427
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: on that team. Yeah, thirteen of the Broncos. Everybody thinks

428
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: that the Broncos is like this dominant defense. I think

429
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: it's a middle of the road defense. I don't know

430
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: what they are anymore. And they you know, Vic Fangio

431
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: has gone. Yeah, I say that's a big loss. I

432
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: think certain, and um, the safety Simmons are total stars,

433
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: but I don't think Chubb is you know, I mean

434
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: in the front sevens and okay, but not star studded.

435
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: The Dolphins at fourteen, I think their middle of the road. Yeah,

436
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: still little packers. Yeah, I don't understand that. That's that's

437
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. The Eagles at fifteen. I think that's

438
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: a pretty solid group too. That the line. I mean,

439
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw Jordan Davis in with Fletcher Cox and Hargrave. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

440
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: Uh sixteen of the Bengals, that's too high for the Bengals.

441
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: Would you have the Browns? Are the Bengals or the

442
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: Ravens for that matter, I know the Ravens were one,

443
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure to the best defense, So I

444
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: think the Steeler is the best defensive division. I think

445
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: so too. I I really, I mean, Baltimore secondaries really

446
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: really good. I think i'd have them over the Ohio teams. Yeah, um,

447
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: that's too high. In the Bengals, it's pretty average group. Yeah,

448
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: and I mean who the best players. I'm sure we're

449
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: gonna find some some defenses here below this that are

450
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: I think we're better than three bake really coming Bay. Yeah,

451
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: and I know their defense wasn't tremendous last year, but

452
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: they added a lot. I mean, just on paper, I

453
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: think it's as good as any Yeah, eighteen is Carolina.

454
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: They were hurt by the offense more than any other

455
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: defense in that doubt. I mean just no one was

456
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: put in worse situations. So I would take their numbers

457
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: from last year with a total grain of salt. That's

458
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: kind of the way I look at the Steelers defense.

459
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: Very similar, right, I mean there's some complimentary football. Offense

460
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: plays a big role and how good your defense is. Yeah, absolutely,

461
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: you keep turning the ball over and going three and out,

462
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: I mean every defense is gonna crumble. Yeah, nineteen is Washington.

463
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 1: Think of Washington is a pretty good defensive team. Yeah.

464
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: A year ago they would have been top five for me,

465
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: and they didn't live up to that. But that was

466
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: a lot of it was based on Chase Young and

467
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: an awesome D line that wasn't awesome. He wasn't awesome,

468
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: weren't great. No, they were a problem. Uh twenty as

469
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: the Jets. Okay, they've invested a lot there, you know,

470
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: the sauce Gardeners of the world and Jermaine Johnson. You

471
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: know they're building something Patriots or twenty feet. They're usually

472
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: top tennish. Yeah, I don't want to think of them.

473
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: I think their numbers were pretty good last year. Do

474
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: you've taken J. C. Jackson out of the equipment? Right?

475
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: They've always been as been based on having a shutdown corner.

476
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: They don't now they don't have that. I don't think

477
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: they have a pass rusher really either. I saw something

478
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: the NFL is putting out their top hundred players. Yeah,

479
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: Matthew Judah was ranked like fifty second. I'm sorry. I

480
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: don't see him as a top ten edge guy, no,

481
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: let alone the top fifty type player he was. He

482
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: was ahead of Max Crosby. Yeah. I don't think they're

483
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't think they're. Crosby is a much better athlete,

484
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: much more explosive, more productive. Yeah, that was that one

485
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: was done by the players. Yeah. I questioned that that

486
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: whole top hundred list every year. I rolled my eyes

487
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: at twenty of the picks. Yeah, twenty two of the Raiders. Yeah,

488
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: there they belonged down here. Yeah, I mean Crosby and

489
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones is exciting. Yeah. Oh abously, another one Matthew

490
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: Judeo and a head of Chandler Jones. Come on, I

491
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: can't do that, Come on, can't go there. Twenty three

492
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: is the Colts. They were awesome at taking the football away,

493
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: which I don't think is an accident the way that

494
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: they're designed, but it won't keep up. They would be

495
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 1: higher for me. I mean they give some stars at

496
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: every level they do. I mean I think they'd been

497
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: their defense assistant Eddies or the Browns. Yeah yeah, yeah,

498
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: I would too. And they added like in the dock way,

499
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, and he may not play every snap, but

500
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna get some sacks. Yeah yeah. More were are

501
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. I've been impressed with what they've done. It's

502
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: been quiet, but their front seven, all of a sudden,

503
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: is really big and really physical, and it's gonna get

504
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers a really difficult challenge. And I know people

505
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: are all doing it. I mean, they can't handle the Jags,

506
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: were they Well this is preseason stuff here. I mean

507
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: I think you'll look at their front seven and be like,

508
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: oh this these guys are good. Is the Seahawks. I

509
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: don't even know if i'd haven't that I already. Burns

510
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: might be starting corner for that, he might be a

511
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: starting corner, right. Twenty six are the Texans. They were

512
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: the second defense that was hurt most by their offense.

513
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: But it's not that I don't know who their stars are.

514
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean Stingley's maybe the only well above average Petre

515
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah there's a chance. Ye uh. Seven is Detroit.

516
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: I really like their offense. I think the defense will

517
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: be well behind the offense. Twenty eight are the Chiefs.

518
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: I gotta think they'll be better than that. It was

519
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: bad last year though four years was the most recent.

520
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, that that adds up, and people don't

521
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: look at them that way. No, No, they didn't get

522
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: sacks last year either. No, they did not very low.

523
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: They were built to rush the passer and they didn't rush,

524
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: and they didn't do that well, right, but they did.

525
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: They turned Tyreek Hill into a lot of draft picks

526
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: and a lot of those run defense. You look at

527
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: their draft this year is heavy defense and skymore. Twenty

528
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: nine or the Giants. Okay, that's about right. Yeah, I

529
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: mean I kind of like their defensive front, but I'm

530
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: not gonna fight you on that one. The Falcons I'm

531
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: surprised as they are worse the Cardinals. One. I don't

532
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: have high hopes of the Cardinals at all, Like whatever

533
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: they're over underwind total is I'm excited to bet the

534
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: under on the Cardinals and part of us because the

535
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: defense is pretty rough. That leaves the Bears at thirty two.

536
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: I know that the Bears are not gonna be good

537
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have They're gonna be hindered by their

538
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: offense all year, But I don't look at that as

539
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: the worst defense in the league. Yeah, well, maybe there

540
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: he's projecting this because the offense is going to be struggling. Yeah,

541
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: and they lost Mac and I mean, I know they

542
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: drafted two guys high in the secondary, but it's not

543
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: the I don't think it's a brutal defense. I don't

544
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: if a Roquan will be there, though, I guess that's

545
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: been somewhat important. The thing that he writes here about

546
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers is that he's concerned about the cornerback play. Yeah.

547
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I am and say I'm less

548
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: concerned than he is. That That's the only thing I

549
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: read of the article is just a Steeler paragraph, And

550
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: he really praises a star power in the front seven,

551
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: and I think the coaches and from what I remember,

552
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: but he was a little worried about the corners, adding

553
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: ogan job could be a move that really pays off. Yeah. Yeah,

554
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: I've actually heard him on the air talk about that.

555
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: He loved that move. Um, I don't look at the

556
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 1: corners as a liability. I don't think it's a strength,

557
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's a weakness. I think when

558
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: you have the pass rush at the Steelers hand, right,

559
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: that goes hand and you don't need stars in the second,

560
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, and we've talked this to no end, is

561
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: I think they have seven defensive backs that are good

562
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: players too. Yeah, you know, yeah, it's a deep group.

563
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily loaded with star power. But okay, yeah,

564
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: you know they've they've won super Bowls without star power, right,

565
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of been a formula around here if you

566
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: don't have Blunt or Woodson or you know, they've had

567
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: a lot of good, not great corners that on great defenses. Yeah. So,

568
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see how that works out, but certainly

569
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers coming in ninth on that list and probably

570
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: have him six ish Shieldkipedia yeah, Yeah, it's been confused

571
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: with Wikipedia. Brother that though, must be his brother wick

572
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: Wick and Chill. Yeah, and he's very analytics driven. He's

573
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: a big EPA guy and stuff like that. But I

574
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: think Shield does really good work. Yeah. That was the

575
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: Ringers top defenses for this year, according to shiel Kipedia.

576

Speaker 1: Vincent College here on ESPN and Steelers Nation Radio. And

586
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: we were just stuggling over some of the UH top

587
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: defenses on five show Kipedia. Not to be confused with Wikipedia. Uh.

588
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: This on the Ringer and Matt Um Steelers wrapping up

589
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 1: their practice earlier today. Kind of a walkthrough type practice

590
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: of intense. Uh yeah, not super intense. But so we're

591
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: looking here at his top offenses now and he's got

592
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs number one. M it's gonna be different. I

593
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna buy in on that one

594
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: just yet. My worry is what if this is a

595
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: year Kelsey gets old? Yeah, you know, because they're more

596
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: Kelsey dependent than they've ever been. I mean, I trust

597
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: the Mahomes and read in that offensive line to be

598
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: to get it to be very very good. But they're

599
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: gonna have to change the way they play. And if

600
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: Kelsey takes a step back, which she's thirty three or

601
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: thirty four it's coming, you know, it would hurt them. Yeah,

602
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I mean the receiving group of Marquez, Valdes, Scantling, McCool,

603
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: Hardman who was taking off today with with Green injury,

604
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: Juju Smith, Schuster, and sky More scare anybody. I forget

605
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: where what outlet I've been on. I've been talking so

606
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: much the last couple of days. If I were them,

607
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: I might put an offer in for Kareem Hunt or

608
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs or I don't think they want Kareem Hunt.

609
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if they want him back, and Jacobs

610
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: might not move within the division. But there's a handful

611
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: of running backs you could get I would consider. I

612
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: don't like their backs. I want to talking about Pacheco

613
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: being the guy. You know, he's the phenomen have the

614
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: fight Dr Ferdy Pacheck right, And I don't trust Edwards

615
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: laert Oh either. If you're gonna play a different way,

616
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: I want a better back. Uh. Number Two is Buffalo Sure, Okay,

617
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: I get that one. Yeah. Their online is not great though, Yeah,

618
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: but Alan kind of covers some of that, no doubt,

619
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: not absolutely. Three is the Chargers. Chargers might be the

620
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: best offense in the league this year. Yeah, I think

621
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: they would be. My vote. There's a lot to like there.

622
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: I think Herbert's going to my homes like Mahomes Allen

623
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: like trajectory here too. The old line is really good.

624
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: They got weapons. Yeah, that's a good group. You know,

625
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: they got a nice group of running backs. It's a

626
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: nice group. Four is Tampa Bay. You know, Tampa Bay

627
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: being a top offense again this year, probably, I mean,

628
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: assuming Brady's Brady. I mean I'd be shocked if they're

629
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: not top ten. I know the interior. Their lines different.

630
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: There's some injuries right now. I don't love the Julio signing,

631
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: but I think he's enough to get them through these

632
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: Godwin injuries and things. Five is the Bengals. Yeah, do

633
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: your line is better? Sure, if it's better, and I

634
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: think it almost has nowhere to go but off Yeah,

635
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean so much that's on Burrow.

636
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: Those don't hold the football. No, no, uh. Six is

637
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: the Rams. Yeah, as long as the Stafford arm stuff

638
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: isn't a real deal. Yeah, there are are lines on

639
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: tremendous either. Yeah. I mean you got Joe now Boom

640
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: placing Andrew Whitworth at left tackle. There's not much pedigree

641
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: on that other line. Seven is the Broncos, and I

642
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: think that's given Russell Wilson too much credit. Yeah, I

643
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: mean he hasn't played great for a couple of years.

644
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: You know, they've already had a wide receiver injury. Um.

645
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that their offensive line is great. I

646
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: would say it's above average and best. It's probably better

647
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: than what Wilson played with in Seattle. Yeah, it's that.

648
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: What's funny to me is like, oh, Wilson's gonna go crazy.

649
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: With this new group, any I think he'll be better

650
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: than he was Ben, But are these wide receivers really

651
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: better than Dk metcalf podcast He took a step back

652
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: with the receiver right, And I like Sutton Judy and

653
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: that's fine, but I'd rather Dk and lock it. And

654
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 1: so it was was Seattle and the top ten offense

655
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: last year. No, not even close. So I don't I

656
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: think that team might disappoint people more, you know, like

657
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: I would bet the under on their window. Eight is

658
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: the Packers. That's a lot of credits. We're talking about receivers.

659
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean, is that passing game gonna be a top

660
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: fifteen passing game? I bet not. I mean, Aaron Rodgers

661
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: carries a lot of weight. The I get it, Tons,

662
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: I get it too. I mean, quarterbacks rule the world.

663
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: But man, I think they're and they're a line still

664
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: injured as could be. Yeah, if they get problems there

665
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: um and I like both backs but great, But it's

666
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: hard to be a top but eight offense with on

667
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: the back running back offense three two running backs. That's tough.

668
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. Nine Are the Eagles pretty interesting?

669
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: You know they're going to run the ball well and

670
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: then you throw a j Brown the mix. It Hurts

671
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be a superstar, but you know he's

672
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna make plays a good line too. How are they

673
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: looked at differently than the Steelers? Their offense last year

674
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: was a thousand times better than the Steelers. I get

675
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: that because they ran the ball like crazy. Okay, they

676
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: were run the best running teams in the league as

677
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: opposed to one the worst. But you're you're saying, okay

678
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: that that hurt Hurts will look great with with great receivers. Well,

679
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: the Steelers have great receivers. Yeah, but I think the

680
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: Showinsky is not getting that same kind of love. Agreed.

681
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: I mean hurt for Strawinsky to me as a conversation, Yeah,

682
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. These two offenses against each other

683
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: is not a conversation to me, Like I think the

684
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: Eagles are the best O line in the league would

685
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: be eight. And my point here is that, you know,

686
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: people are saying that Jalen Hurts is, Oh, he's he's

687
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna have a top and ten offense this year. It

688
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if he's good or not, but at least

689
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to the Steeler are here later, and

690
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: they're not anywhere near this high and yet, but I

691
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: think they might be if they had the Eagles aligned.

692
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: My point is is, if you put Trabisky in that

693
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: offense behind that offensive line, would they be would he?

694
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: Would they be saying that that there, that's a top

695
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: a top ten offense that I don't know. I mean

696
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: just the fact that very such a runner is and

697
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: they've they've moved everything around for Hurts. But if Rabisky

698
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: was on the Eagles and Hurts wasn't, they're probably twelveth

699
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: instead of nine something like that. I mean, if that's

700
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: the case, then I'm on board. But I think Rbisky

701
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: is a better passer, So yeah, it Hurts might not

702
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: even be their quarterback next year. Right Ten is the Cowboys? Okay,

703
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: but you said Lamb has some sort of injury. They

704
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: don't have anything. Yeah. The receivers are rough. Yeah, it's

705
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: really bad. You're looking at rookie's Jalen Tilbert and Noah Brown. Uh.

706
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: He has thirty nine career catches. He's number three right now.

707
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: I think their number one in the league, though in

708
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: yards for play last year, I don't think they will

709
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: be this year. Is the Vikings they might be better

710
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: than that. Yeah, I mean I think that line's decent,

711
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: Cousins decent, better offensive minded coach Jefferson might be the

712
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: best receiver in the league, you know, and anywhere right

713
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: twelve the Colts. That might be a stretch seems a

714
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: little high to me. That's that's a bit of a

715
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: stretch to me, I am not I know you you

716
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: love Matt Ryan, so I think he's more of an

717
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: accumulator than he has a great quarterback. I don't know

718
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: that I love him. I respect him. I don't think

719
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: he's all a famer. I think he's I agree with you,

720
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: he's an accumulator. Um. I think he'll move the football

721
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: well and there's a good fit for them. But I

722
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: don't know that he's light years better than When you

723
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: know who's their go to guy in the in the

724
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: passing game, I think it's Pittman. Michael Pittman's doesn't Is

725
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: anybody really scared of Michael Pittman. I like Michael pitt

726
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: and the key is he's a nice too. Do I

727
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: like him more than that. I think he's on the

728
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: same level as Deonte Okay, when people in Pittsburgh are

729
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: talking about Deonte's as a nice second receiver, right, And

730
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: I think both those guys are borderline ones, high end

731
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: with but they don't have They would kill for Claypool.

732
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: They don't have. Don't have to compliment to them, right,

733
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: they could use fire moves, you know, like there's nobody

734
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: they have a tight end that you look at and go, oh,

735
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: this guys, this guy's good. They're kind on Paris Campbells

736
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: they have, right, and they're old lines overrated. Paris Campbell's

737
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,879
Speaker 1: played fifteen games in three seasons. Yeah, that's what you're counting.

738
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: What you're counting on. Yeah, good luck with that. The

739
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: Raiders att to me, if they're old line is league average,

740
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: they'll be a top five. But they're a line might

741
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: be thirty second, might be bad, might be bad. And

742
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: we know that Derek Carr struggles under pressure. There's a

743
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: graphic there. Yes, McDaniels without Brady my hunches. It's not

744
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: real flattering to McDaniels. Uh, well, or is it? It's

745
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: actually not bad. With the Patriots and they had these

746
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: number seven they were seventh in dv O A was

747
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: the nine with the Broncos, eighteenth with Kyle Orton. Uh.

748
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: The next they were seventeenth with Kyle Orton, eleven with

749
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: the Rams, thirty second with Sam Bradford. Yeah, with the

750
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: Patriots with Cam Newton they were and then last year

751
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: they were tenth. Yeah. Okay, some of their numbers last

752
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 1: year offensively don't stack up to what I saw on tape.

753
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: No no, And we'll get to them here in the

754
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: second as well. But yeah, I think it could be

755
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: a good offense. I mean, they've got weapons all over

756
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: the place. Yeah, And I'm a Car fan. I just

757
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: don't know if they know who the running back is

758
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: there right the lines really bad and the line is

759
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: pretty bad. Fourteen is the Ravens. I think i'd have

760
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: them right in the middle of right in that neighborhood.

761
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: They're hard to play against. Uh. Fifteen are the forty Niners.

762
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: I think I'd be higher on them, but there's massive

763
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: quarterback questions. I don't I don't know what he is.

764
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: He said, he's still throwing less than three hundred passes

765
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: and he's in a long it's high school. And the

766
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: line is a real problem area right now, or a

767
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 1: questionable area. Sixteenth is the Patriots. I'm gonna go no

768
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: on that. I mean I know their numbers and all

769
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: reports are unbelievably bad. They don't even know who's calling

770
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: the plays. There's a bit of an issue. Would you

771
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: would you swap a Steeler's offense with the Patriots? I

772
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: would not either, including the quarterback. I mean I would

773
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: swap their O line. Okay, but that's it. Yeah, right,

774
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: um at seventeen of the Cardinals, I might be higher

775
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: on them than that. I don't know what Tyler They're

776
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: going to start the season with Hopkins is out. I'm

777
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: down on the team. I don't trust James Conner to

778
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: stay healthy. They're old and little. Yeah, I mean that's

779
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: a terrible combination. But that offense I think could be Okay,

780
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: eighteen is Jacksonville. That's a bit of a leapal faith.

781
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: I can't go that high on them. I think it'll

782
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: be better. I'm a Lauren fan. Nineteenth is a Saints

783
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: really mhm. I don't have a problem with that. I

784
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: think I like, I liked all Winston played last year

785
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: and he was throwing to Jabronies. I mean, now you're

786
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: throwing to Landry a Lava and Tomas defense as well.

787
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: Like he had a five touchdown game. We're through for

788
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: twenty two yards. Oh, I know, I know his stats

789
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: are a little overblown and it's a small sample, but

790
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: they have a good line. Kamara maybe yeh. Twenties the Dolphins.

791
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have them that high. I love their two receivers,

792
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: but I don't trust our quarterback or a line at all,

793
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: or the running backs. You're gonna start Edmonds. There's kind

794
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: of a bunch of guys. Twenty one is the Titans.

795
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: I think to have them very very low. Yeah. I

796
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: think this is a year of their offense crumbles. I

797
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 1: think it starts to fall off. They did not replace

798
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: a J. Brown, and they're a line is not good

799
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: and people think it is. Twenty two is the Panthers.

800
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 1: Maybe they vastly improved their offensive line. Just not being

801
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: Sam Donald might be enough to get them to league

802
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: average if McCaffrey's healthy all years. Don't just don't be

803
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, right, That's I think all they need out

804
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: of Baker to be average. Then that rules an offensive guy. Well,

805
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: I think his jobs. Yeah, he should better right now? Oh, agreed,

806
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: but they got some dudes. Twenty three is the Giants.

807
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go there. I'd take the Steelers. I like

808
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: their tackles. I mean they finally have a foundation of

809
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: an old line. Don't just like the Steelers tackles though, No,

810
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean they're not former top ten pick type guys.

811
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: But you know, right, he's spent top ten picks of

812
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: this right, right, right, right, Daniel Jones has not been right.

813
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: The Lions, I'd be higher on them. I think they'll

814
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: run the ball, have a great line, they have weapons.

815
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: I don't like golf that much, but yeah, and they

816
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: don't trust golf. No, they don't trust golf. But I

817
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: think they will run the ball and they have weapons. Uh,

818
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: we'll see when Jamison Williams comes back. But I don't

819
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 1: know how much you can factor that in big you know,

820
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: adding DJ Charco on the outside, there's not no But

821
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: if he's your third receiver, I like it. Okay, you

822
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: know twenty five Commanders, Yeah, it's fine. I guess they're

823
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 1: twenty five. Twenty six is the Steelers. Yeah, it seems

824
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: a little rough. I read that one too, and I

825
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: get it. I mean I would question the old line heavily,

826
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: and I would question the quarterback. I mean, these guys

827
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: aren't practice every day, and those are areas of concern.

828
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: The school guys are great. I think Mr Bisky is

829
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: getting sold a little short of a lot short. You know, people,

830
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock me if after a month or six

831
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: weeks of the season the narrative across the country is

832
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: a little different on a little different. Uh. Seven to Seattle,

833
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: we just saw them. They might be la I mean,

834
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: I just don't know. I don't Besides Matt Cafine Lockett,

835
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: I see nothing there. Ye know. They have the worst

836
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: quarterback situation the league easily. Uh yeah, I mean it's

837
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: just not good. Uh. Twenty is the Jets out of Seattle.

838
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: Below the Jets, Oh Wilson hasn't looked good even before

839
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: before the even good reports. Twenty nine are the Texans.

840
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: I think they're sneakily better, but they were like they

841
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: were thirty first last year. You know, they're really bad.

842
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: Thirties of Bears. I might have them last. They might

843
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: be last. Their offensive lines really really bad. This field

844
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: to make a play. Thirty one is Atlanta. It's pretty

845
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: bad too. At least they have two playmakers. And then

846
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: that leaves not rankedwns. Yeah, I don't, I don't know,

847
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: even though where you put them if the Shawan. If

848
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is playing, where do you put the Browns

849
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: ten that high? I think he's really really good. I mean,

850
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,399
Speaker 1: I don't think he'd be immediately the player. I don't

851
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 1: fear any other weapons. No, but I still could have

852
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: a great running game and a great quarterback and a

853
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: great old line that to me gets your tenth with Brissette.

854
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: It's yeah, really bad. Yeah, I mean, not much different

855
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: than the Bears and Falcons and those guys. Yeah, we'll see.

856
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: That'd be similar to Seattle really yeah, still defense, but

857
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna come out here at some point, maybe by tomorrow.

858
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: Maybe by tomorrow. I think the next four hours we've

859
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: got a chance to get a final verdict. Finally. Yeah,

860
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 1: I'd just like to know. I think the Browns would

861
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: like to know too. I'm sure de Shaun would and

862
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: the whole league kind of like the NEX. But yeah,

863
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow revealed that his Picnics was actually ruptured. It

864
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: wasn't any normal I guess he's back from what I understand. Yeah,

865
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: all right, but I think you want to play the Jets,

866
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: and I think you want to play the Bengals early

867
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: in the season, and definitely same with New England and

868
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: the Steelers play all those guys early in the season.

869
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 1: Figure out this whole play call right all right now,

870
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: they all these things hanging over them. I mean, of

871
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 1: course you want to play the Browns early this season too,

872
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: But and the Steers are fortunately that they're doing all

873
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: those things. Yeah, we'll see how they come out of

874
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: the gate and things that. I'm sure Burrow have a

875
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: great year. But I also bet deep down he's like, man,

876
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: I wish I could have practiced last couple of weeks. Yeah,

877
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: I mean, how much better Trobiski and pick a get

878
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: and watch practice. This's just for three weeks, that's get

879
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: me any better? And they're running with one of the

880
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 1: Alan boys. Yeah, not the right one, not the good one. Uh.

881
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: It's been another beautiful day out here, another nice crowd

882
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: here at St. Fencent College. I know, the good environment.

883
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: The fans weren't super excited about the way practice. It

884
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: was the first time here. You don't know any different

885
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: every day like we are. But it wasn't the most exciting,

886
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: the most exciting practice, and I bet tomorrow's isn't either,

887
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: Probably not, But that's he's trying to get through these things. Um,

888
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: get everybody healthy into that second game and see where

889
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: we can go from there. Yeah, teaching type things here.

890
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean this is again walk through this, but one

891
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: way of looking at this, you know, mental reps, knowing

892
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: where to be, knowing your simons picking up this blitz,

893
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: making these adjustments. Don't get hurt, don't get hurt. Don't

894
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: get hurt. Did we mention not to get hurt? Yeah?

895
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: So I think they accomplished that today. Hopefully they accomplished

896
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: that tomorrow. I'm psych for Jacksonville. We got one more

897
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: show before that. Yeah, that'll do it for today. So

898
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 1: for my partner Matt Williamson, for Jacob X here on Psyche,

899
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,800
