1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: Our number two of the drive. Here, good evening, Steelers Nation.

4
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: We are all commiserating together over the Steelers disappointing home

5
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: opener thirty one to seventeen. They fall to the Seattle Seahawks,

6
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: who just continue that unbelievable record that they have of

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: West Coast teams playing in that one o'clock East Coast game.

8
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: It can unbelievable.

9
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: Was it was easy to say for a while, Well,

10
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 2: it's just because they have Pete Carroll Hall of Fame coach,

11
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson Hall of Fame type credential super quarterback.

12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 4: But they might have the secret sauce.

13
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: They might have the secret sauce. There might be something

14
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: on that plane or whatever they do when they cross

15
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: the country.

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 4: But they have the pregame meal or a plane on

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 4: you meal is or whatever or maybe the other primannies.

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 4: But also one loss on the road last year with

19
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 4: it without Pete Carroll the organization.

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: They were seven to one on the road last season.

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: Joining us now to discuss is the man who brought

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: you all the action on your flagship Home of the

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: Steelers DVE of course on the Steelers Audio Network as

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 2: well too. He hosts in the Locker Room every morning

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: with our buddy Max Starks. It's Rob King Kinger partner.

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: Let's get right into it. Thank you for your time

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: as always, uh I thought, Matt, you know, doctor Williamson

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: made a good point of you know, we know what

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: all the symptoms are, but what's the diagnosis right in

30
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: your mind, what is the kind of the biggest diagnosis

31
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: the root of the struggles? Hey, some of which we

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: saw against New York, but they were able to get

33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: out of that stadium with a win and overcome it.

34
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: And then some of the things, you know, some of

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: the issues, some of the problems that continued yesterday.

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 5: Well it's a great question.

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 6: I mean, I think for me mostly it begins and

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 6: whether this is due to injury and lack of continuity,

39
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 6: or play calling or performance, or you know, any number

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 6: of things. You know, they have not been able to

41
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 6: control the line of scrimmage I think is first and foremost.

42
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 6: There are other issues that come along, but they haven't

43
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 6: really been able to stop the run. And they haven't

44
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 6: and they haven't you know, they haven't run the ball

45
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 6: themselves and they haven't protected Aaron Rodgers well enough. So

46
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 6: I think everything kind of begins right there.

47
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 4: For me, we couldn't agree more. That's how we started

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 4: the show, but we came up with something. I thought

49
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: we were pretty clever with just last segment that the

50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: Steelers secondary. So if we look at their top guys

51
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 4: that played yesterday, and I like all these players, Clark

52
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 4: Pepper's Thornhill at safety, Ramsey Slay at corner, none of

53
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 4: them were as the team last year, right, No zero.

54
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 6: I think I think you're you know, and I've been

55
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 6: mulling this over quite a bit. You know, Mike Tomlin

56
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 6: is you know, not like Mike Tomlin cares, but he's

57
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 6: gonna get you know, there's some backlash already from you know,

58
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 6: him answering a question about that the defense.

59
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 5: Could be historic, and he said yes, and he thinks

60
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 5: it could be. And I think that we have to

61
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 5: understand that it's still just weak.

62
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 6: Two that if this were if this were Week fifteen

63
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 6: or sixteen, it would be a different story. I think

64
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 6: what's happened is that because of the way last season ended,

65
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 6: in which, yes, you played a good defensive game against Cincinnati,

66
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 6: you did not play a good defensive game against Kansas

67
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 6: City Philadelphia the Ravens, uh twice really and the same

68
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 6: sort of problems are creeping up and people think, well,

69
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 6: you fix anything, Well, uh maybe, but maybe it's just

70
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 6: really early and all those guys you mentioned, and then

71
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 6: you know, you think about.

72
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 4: Personnel continuity, position like you know past.

73
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 6: All right, rogerck Jones was injured for a lot of camp,

74
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 6: a lot of the tailent of camp. So what does

75
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 6: that do to your continuity? What did it do to

76
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 6: your continuity when you have a bunch of guys who

77
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 6: haven't played together, and even in camp, these weren't your

78
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 6: normal personnel groupings. All right, let's get the second team

79
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 6: out there. Okay, first team, and I sure you mix

80
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 6: it her Big and other guys, but you know, Truck

81
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 6: Clark was not even signed yet, you know.

82
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 5: And I agree with you, I like all the players.

83
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 6: I think perhaps every once in a while happens where

84
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 6: it just works from the jump. Perhaps we should reserve

85
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 6: judgment until we get deeper into the season. Because because

86
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 6: of the freshness of last year's loss, and because of

87
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 6: the similarities of what we've seen happened, I think it's

88
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,119
Speaker 6: easy to say, Aha, it's just more of the same,

89
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 6: when really it's just two weeks in the deceased.

90
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: Rob King with us here on the drive, Kinger, if

91
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: we do want to talk some positivity and something to

92
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: glean from from Sunday, something to like, something to hopefully continue.

93
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: And I know there was not a ton there, but

94
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: I think I'm encouraged by what we saw from Jalen Warren.

95
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: I thought that was much needed. I thought Matt and

96
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: I talked about this in the first hour two. It's

97
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: it's not like he was breissee Hall or Kenneth Walker,

98
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: you know, running through wide open holes. I mean, he

99
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: was making big plays and he was doing so by

100
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: making guys miss shrugging off tackles, hurtling players. If they

101
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: can start to get that consistently from thirty, I think

102
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: that will go a long way.

103
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, he and I've never asked in this,

104
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 6: but I'm going to guess I know the answer. He

105
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 6: it appears to me as if he dislikes being tackled,

106
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 6: like it's just not.

107
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 4: His favorite thing, you know, not big guy.

108
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 6: But he's always been that way. He's always been that way.

109
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 6: I mean, if you you get to the ground. He

110
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 6: fights you right to the ground. He is a battler

111
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 6: out there to you know, he's also skilled. So I

112
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 6: don't want to just say, oh, he's a battler. He's

113
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 6: a skilled battler and that's a good combination to half.

114
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 6: You know, I've I've been thinking all along that I'd

115
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 6: like to see more of him. Now I think in

116
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 6: I think what their their plan is, and this is

117
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 6: what it looked like in week one is Jalen Warren

118
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 6: is your first and second down back, and then your

119
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 6: third down back is Kenneth Gamall much like Jalen was

120
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 6: kind of the third down back to Naji Harris. And

121
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 6: so that means you know, your first and second now

122
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 6: back are going to get the majority of carries. We

123
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 6: saw on occasion moments in which nag he had fewer

124
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 6: carries than Jalen Warren. Well, in the first game of

125
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 6: the season, you find yourself as a hole. You're playing,

126
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 6: you know, coming from behind football. And so Gamewell snaps

127
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 6: and Jalen Warren snaps were relatively even. They were almost

128
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 6: spot on, almost a fifty fifty division of labor. I'm

129
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 6: with you, guy, I want to see what happens if

130
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 6: Jalen Warren gets those first and second rown carries that

131
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 6: we saw in Nijie Harris getting what happens is now

132
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 6: he gets eighteen to twenty carries a game, and you

133
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 6: know what, we've never seen it. I believe the most

134
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 6: carries he's ever had in a game is fifteen. I

135
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 6: don't think he's ever had more than that, and I

136
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 6: think that was only once and he had fourteen yesterday.

137
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 6: If I'm not mistaken, he's had that thirteen to fifteen range,

138
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 6: but he's never had eighteen to twenty. I'd like to

139
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 6: see him get eighteen to twenty. I think he's a playmaker.

140
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 6: Matt had, Matt, you had all kinds of great stats

141
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 6: about his tackles, Bloke broken and all these you know

142
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 6: factors that had that had people drawing the conclusion that he,

143
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 6: you know, was one of the best backs in the

144
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 6: league could be if he played more. Now, you never

145
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 6: know what happens when somebody plays all the time.

146
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 5: Right, Like.

147
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 6: I'm going to this is maybe not a perfect analogy,

148
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 6: but yesterday this switch the pitch to to.

149
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 5: Kenneth Walker right in which he gained nineteen yards.

150
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 6: Well, you know the Steelers are playing back a little bit,

151
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 6: and so that's probably an easy five to six yard game.

152
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 5: Now it shouldn't have gone for nineteen.

153
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 6: But you know there are moments where it's an easy

154
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 6: five to six yard game. It's third and twenty one,

155
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 6: you're the third down back, you get a draw, well,

156
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 6: you're probably gonna get six or seven yards, right because

157
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 6: they're playing prevent defense. All that having been said, I'm

158
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 6: a believer. I liked and I liked Naji Harris. I

159
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 6: was a Naja Harris defender. I'm a jail and Warren believer.

160
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 6: I would like to see him get more touches and

161
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 6: I would like to see what happens if he does.

162
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 6: I also think that the Steelers it would be extremely

163
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 6: beneficial to them to run the football better. And I

164
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 6: think for me, especially now, you know people are saying, well,

165
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 6: you drafted Caleb Johnson. That's fine, but I before we

166
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 6: moved on to Caleb Johnson, I'd really like to see

167
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 6: Jalen Warren. I'd like to see him get six, seven,

168
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 6: eight games in a row where he gets eighteen to

169
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 6: twenty carries.

170
00:08:59,600 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 5: Yea.

171
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 4: And I almost think there's not a lot of choice

172
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 4: at this matter. I mean, you can't just say, Caleb,

173
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 4: you're the early down back Jalen, you know, because he

174
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 4: hasn't earned that yet. And Gainwell's a good player, but

175
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 4: I think Gainwell's a satellite player, a spot player. So

176
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 4: you're fortunate to have Warren. They obviously like him. They

177
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 4: just extended this contract. I adore him. The stats back

178
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 4: it up. I think everybody listening likes him. Can't he

179
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: handle more? Let's find out, Matt.

180
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 5: That's exactly where I feel.

181
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, And as far as Caleb Johnson, it doesn't have

182
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 6: to be right now right, it doesn't.

183
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 5: You know, there's nobody.

184
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 6: There's nobody forcing you to play Caleb Johnson X amount

185
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 6: of carries a game.

186
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 5: And if you got to the.

187
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 6: Point where you were controlling the game and we saw

188
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 6: Cordello Patterson have you know a series or two a

189
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 6: game last year, maybe that's gonna be where Caleb Johnson is.

190
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 6: You bring them along, but you're able to pick your spots.

191
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 6: And I think that you know, in a lot of ways,

192
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 6: whether it is is the defensive line rotation, uh, the

193
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 6: running back situation, the Steelers have not yet been able

194
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 6: to dictate what they want to do. The game to

195
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 6: me has sort of dictated what they have to do.

196
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 6: You fall behind the Jets. Okay, well, we think Kenneth

197
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 6: Gamewell can be a really good third down back. Well,

198
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 6: now he has to play all he has to play,

199
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 6: you know, in our minds, in our in our mind

200
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 6: going into the game, we probably didn't expect a fifty

201
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 6: to fifty snap dispersal, but we had to do it right.

202
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 5: So I think that I think.

203
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 6: That's kind of the way across the board. Like I

204
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 6: would like, I'm looking forward and I think this is

205
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 6: going to happen. I'm looking forward to the Steelers being

206
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 6: able to dictate usage they ran. Max pointed it out. Oh,

207
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 6: for personnel, I've never seen. I don't think I've ever

208
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 6: seen zero, no running backs, four tight ends. But I

209
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 6: think that when they get humming on offense, they'll be

210
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 6: able to dictate the teams, They'll be able to create

211
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 6: the matchups they want. I just think think that the

212
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 6: games and other things have conspired to dictate to the

213
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 6: Steelers what they have to do, and that's not the

214
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 6: position ideally you'd.

215
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 5: Like to be in.

216
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: That is a very good point by you, Rob King,

217
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: Well done. That's why we love the Kinger in the

218
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 2: Castle here on the Drive. By the way, Rob eighteen

219
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: is Jalen Warren's most carries in a single game of

220
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: his career. That was Week fourteen of the twenty twenty

221
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: three season against the Cleveland Browns. Eighteen carries one hundred

222
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: and twenty nine yards one touchdown.

223
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, you're right, yeah, yeah, what's that?

224
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: Well that day apparently, Yeah, yeah.

225
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 5: I'll take that.

226
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, thank you very much, because I think that's

227
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 6: I think I believe that's the only time he's carried

228
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 6: more than fifteen I.

229
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: Think by my quickly hastily done research, I think you

230
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: are listen, Kinger.

231
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 3: I might not produce in your show game thank you.

232
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 3: I might.

233
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: I might not produce your show, you know, with you

234
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: and Max anymore, but I'm still here producing for you,

235
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: getting the numbers and the statistics for you.

236
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 5: I definitely appreciate it.

237
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 6: And it's, you know, especially when I can take credit

238
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 6: for good research.

239
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 5: It's it's highly appreciated.

240
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: That's right that No I like to give it.

241
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 5: I like to give you guys credit. Matt Stats. I'm

242
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 5: always the most incredible Matt Stats. So he's always you guys.

243
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 6: Listen, man, it takes a village, right let's all get

244
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 6: it together. And I'm glad you're corrected me because I

245
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 6: had forgotten about that game against Cleveland. You're right, there

246
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 6: is one game, but look at the productivity there.

247
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 5: Now.

248
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 4: I'm not saying every.

249
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 5: Game is going to be eighteen for one to twenty nine.

250
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 6: I'm just saying I would like to see him and look,

251
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 6: you know, he's you know, Jalen Warren is not a

252
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 6: big guy, right, He's not a He's not Naji Harris,

253
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 6: but he's not a little bitty you know. It's not

254
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 6: like he's five eight one fifty five. You know, he

255
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 6: is a solidly built young man. You know, So he's built, right, Yeah,

256
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 6: I mean he's a he's a stocky guy.

257
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 5: And I just think that.

258
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 6: You know, a lot of times you'll see, you know,

259
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 6: they would talk about, you know, guys that weren't huge guys.

260
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 6: So you know, Billy Simms wasn't a huge, huge guy, right,

261
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 6: I not Billy Simms. Uh.

262
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 5: Who's the other Detroit running back? Oh my god, Barry Sanders.

263
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: Yes, you mean the greatest of all time?

264
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 5: Yeah? That name, that name is slipped my mind. I

265
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 5: don't know where I got Billy.

266
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: I love Philly Billy Squire, Billy Squire running the ball

267
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 2: for Detroit.

268
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 5: Lonely is the night.

269
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 6: No, it wasn't Billy Squire running the ball, but I

270
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 6: do think that, you know, I mean, he wasn't a

271
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 6: he wasn't a huge guy, right, but he couldn't get

272
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 6: a good shot at now. Jalenes a more physical runner

273
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 6: I think than than some of the slighter guys that

274
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 6: we've seen it again, he's not a slight guy, you know,

275
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 6: he's not.

276
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 5: I don't know.

277
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 6: Look listen, let's see, right, I mean the only you know,

278
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 6: he got hurt last year, but I think it was

279
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 6: an ankle right at the beginning of the year. It

280
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 6: was that kind of uh kind of nagged them all

281
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 6: season long, you.

282
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 5: Know, let's see what happened. That's you know, I don't know.

283
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 6: As you need to put him in bubble wrap, and

284
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 6: I'm that's a guesting they are well listen, no, I

285
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 6: and you know what, I like the choice, you know, uh,

286
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 6: I mean I think you know they're not there there right, yeah,

287
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 6: there is uh, you know, there is out of options

288
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 6: and there is Hey, I'm sorry, but you're gonna have

289
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 6: to take Charlie's thrown out to dinner. Well, if I

290
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 6: don't have any other choices, I'll figure out, you know.

291
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 4: What I mean.

292
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 6: I still think it's a good option to have, you know,

293
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 6: at your fingertips, we.

294
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: Will always choose to have Rob King, whether it's dinner

295
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: or just for a segment here on the drive. Kinger,

296
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: we know you are a little under the weather today.

297
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: Thank you for still taking the time and uh and

298
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: rest up those vocals as we gotta we gotta go

299
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: again this Sunday at Foxborough.

300
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 6: Never been there, looking forward to the trip and always, guys,

301
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 6: always a pleasure to be on with you.

302
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thanks Kinger, we'll talk to you soon. There

303
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: he is Rob King, the voice of your Pittsburgh Steelers.

304
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: As uh, I'll tell you what. He makes some good

305
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: points there.

306
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, the war stuff's interesting, it is you can't give.

307
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 4: I mean, I like game. Well, I call him a

308
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 4: satellite player, you know, I mean it's a satellite back.

309
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 4: There's a lot of use there. But in his case,

310
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 4: unlike Warren, I'm certain he can't handle fifty percent starches.

311
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: I know that, you know Warren, I don't know.

312
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 3: You know, we'll see, maybe we will see starting this Sunday, Matt,

313
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 3: why don't you.

314
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: Say it doesn't mean if he sprains his ankle on

315
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 4: the first carry. Oh, you can't ever do that, you

316
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: know what I mean? Correct? You know?

317
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 3: Correct?

318
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: What do you say we take a look around the

319
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: league at some of this other crazy.

320
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,359
Speaker 4: Action, something going on in Cinci.

321
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: North.

322
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, two games a night, I mean back the Backers.

323
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: Let's get into all of that when we return on

324
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: the other side. Was Hueler Matt Williamson, You are tuned

325
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: into the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers

326
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: Audio Network, your tunes.

327
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

328
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

329
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: Back on the Drive here as we roll along on

330
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: this Monday, and it's now time to go around the league,

331
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: and Matt, I think we should start with I don't know.

332
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just because we're an AFC North team and

333
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: we pay a lot of attention to the other three

334
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: teams in the division. But I do think the biggest

335
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: story out of the NFL Week two and you get

336
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: out is Joe Burrow's status. And for those who haven't

337
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: heard toe injury, turf toe being reported that he's expected

338
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: to miss up to thirteen months. Thirteen months sorry, three months.

339
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: Thirteen months would be a really long time. Three months

340
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: that he is expected to miss, which would put him

341
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: which would put him right around the Christmas time frame.

342
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: At that point there might be two or three games

343
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: left in the season.

344
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 3: Are you going to rush him back? They're two and oh? Now,

345
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: but what's that look like by then? That's just a

346
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 3: terrible situation for Cincinnati.

347
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, it's the worst. I mean, I mean, he's

348
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 4: a top four quarterback. But even if it were Herbert Stroud, Daniels, whoever,

349
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 4: I mean, it destroys your season. I mean, it's just

350
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 4: the way that this league is, and it's it's rough.

351
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 4: We talked about it in the first segment. This is

352
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 4: not a kind league. It is not a forgiving league.

353
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 4: If you're the weak antelope, you could eat you know.

354
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just the way it happens, and that's

355
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 4: what makes it fun to some degree. But especially this team,

356
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 4: I mean, they're so pass centric. It's not like they're

357
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 4: going to win running the ball and playing defense. I mean,

358
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 4: that's off the table for this team. Now if we

359
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 4: look at it, Steeler stuff aside, just through a Bengals lens.

360
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: Here they are two and oh, it's a good start.

361
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 4: And I'll be honest, they're pretty fortunate to be two

362
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 4: and oh. I thought they were the inferior team in

363
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 4: both games. But they're two and oh, and that's all

364
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: that matters. All that matters. You know what's parcels say

365
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 4: you are, what your record, your record are. And I'll

366
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 4: be honest that coaching staff has done a pretty good

367
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: job with this backup quarterback the few times they've had

368
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 4: to now short stints, not for twelve games in a

369
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 4: row or the next fifteen or whatever. But they're two

370
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 4: and oh and you're still throwing to Chase in Higgins.

371
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 4: But you're gonna have to throw a lot and it's

372
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 4: not Burrow. And I just don't know how else to

373
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 4: code it other than those two things that are good.

374
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 4: You're two and oh and you've had some success with

375
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 4: this guy before, but.

376
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: You're gonna need to score thirty one points again a lot,

377
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: a lot.

378
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 4: I don't think the defense is getting fixed. I don't

379
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 4: think the running game or line is going to be strengths.

380
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, I hey, say he misses the next

381
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: twelve games. If they go six and six, you're eight

382
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: and six and you still are a lot, probably spot

383
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: and maybe he comes back for the last two or

384
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 2: three games.

385
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 4: But if you got this first game, maybe like when

386
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 4: he comes back and you know.

387
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: Right absolutely, and then especially if you go four and eight,

388
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: you know it's it's over at that point.

389
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 4: And I think there's a chance. I mean I haven't

390
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: dug into the deep medical reports, and nobody knows. There

391
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 4: might be a chance he can't come back at all,

392
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 4: you know, like medically, like he may not get short, right.

393
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that like even if they were in a playoff position,

394
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: it's not the juice isn't worth the squeeze or trying

395
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: to trying to rush him back.

396
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 4: Or what if you're the franchise could get hurt even

397
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 4: worse totally, Like you don't rush them. He'll want to.

398
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 4: But I have such respect for him as a player.

399
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 4: I mean, I know it's a rival, but it kind

400
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 4: of breaks you heart a little bit too, Like I

401
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 4: hate these things, you know.

402
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 2: I do too, I do too, And I again, I

403
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: know that it benefits the Steelers because now you're gonna

404
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 2: get the Bengals without you know, I'm not.

405
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 4: Going to games ahead of them that you don't get burrowed.

406
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: I'm not going to turn away from that aspect of it.

407
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm also not like giddy about it as

408
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 2: well too. You and I both like, yeah, we love

409
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 2: the Steelers. It's a team we grew up, you know,

410
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: like sure, worshiping at the altar of the Terrible towel

411
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: like all, like all Western Pennsylvania children do. But we

412
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: also love football and he I mean, I think he's

413
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: the fourth best quarterback in the world. Yeah, it does

414
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: kind of stink for the game to lose a guy

415
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 2: like that, But.

416
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 4: You know, I take a cold approach to this sometimes too.

417
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 4: It's like you still have since you on the schedule twice,

418
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 4: you know, those games got a lot easier. Now, go hunt

419
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 4: that an antelope, baby, Yeah, and you gotta be the

420
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 4: hunter the hunted. And there's seven out of sixteen teams

421
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 4: that are going to the playoffs in the AFC, and

422
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 4: one of them has a lot less chance of going

423
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 4: now than they did two days ago.

424
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 3: They sure do.

425
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: I wonder what that exact number is of like Cincinnati's

426
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: chance of making the playoffs, that Borrow was still in

427
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: the game as opposed to now and the injury reports

428
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 2: and all that, because originally there was I think at

429
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: first They had said like he'll miss a few weeks,

430
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: and then it came out that it's going to be

431
00:20:59,000 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 2: more like a few months.

432
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, certainly, I think the story of the NFL.

433
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: Sunday, except for maybe Matt, the one thing that might

434
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 2: have usurped that was an all time classic between the

435
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 2: Cowboys and the Giants. The TV executives at Fox had

436
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,239
Speaker 2: to be giddy with glee that you know that that

437
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: game on and a national spotlight goes to overtime.

438
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 3: They held off the start.

439
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: Of the Chiefs Eagles game to give that game more time.

440
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: You had George Pickens scorn at the end it looked

441
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: like the Cowboys won it. Then rust the Neighbors my goodness,

442
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: and I was thinking of you.

443
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 4: Two former Steelers crazy.

444
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: Four Steelers going crazy. I'm thinking of Matt too when

445
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: that play happens. I'm hearing you in the back of

446
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: my head. Neighbors is going to be a star, dude,

447
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 2: You've been You've been telling me that since halfway through

448
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 2: last year, like Neighbors is going to be a star.

449
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: Uh. And it looks like the Giants snatched the victory.

450
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 3: Snatch victory.

451
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: At the end of that game, the Cowboys in like

452
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: twenty some seconds and Dak able to orchestrate in the

453
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: field goal position. Yeah, and overtime that went back and

454
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: forth and back and forth until I think the you know,

455
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 2: the second best serial killer in the National Football League

456
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 2: won it won it for the Cowboys. That's an all

457
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 2: time classic between the two division.

458
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 4: He took it to overtime with a big kick and

459
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 4: then he won it with a big kick. Yeah, like kickers, he's.

460
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 3: Great, absolutely is.

461
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: But that that was an all time classic between two

462
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 2: historic rivals.

463
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 4: Yeah again, two big markets, you know, NFC East battle.

464
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 4: I mean just super entertaining. I'm not sure if that

465
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 4: has the ramifications of something like a Burrow injury, but

466
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: just you rarely see games to that level. Yeah, and

467
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 4: even you know, I paid a little extra attention obviously

468
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 4: the Patriots Miami. I mean there was some weird stuff

469
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: in that one too, Like Miami returns a hunt for

470
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 4: a touchdown, kicks off and they returned that kickoff for

471
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 4: a touchdown like that. I think it's happened like one

472
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 4: in nineteen fifty two or something crazy.

473
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: That is crazy.

474
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that was a thrilling game, too entertaining

475
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 2: that How about Vrabels sprinting down the sidelines. Yeah, as

476
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 2: the kick return happened, that that was a really good

477
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: one between the Patriots and the Dolphins. And man Mike

478
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: McDaniel and his postgame press conference sounded like a defeated coach. Yeah,

479
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: it's only two I know, it's only two games into

480
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: the season, but they.

481
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 4: Were a lot better than they were in Week one,

482
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 4: but they still didn't win.

483
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 2: You know, And I know it's college and it's different

484
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 2: and their season starts a week ahead, but Virginia Tech

485
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 2: and UCLA both just fired their coach today. So like

486
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 2: college teams are firing their coaches three games into the

487
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: the NFL is not too far behind. And yeah, I

488
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 2: think the Dolphins are just in a in a rough

489
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: place right now, and so way that that loss at

490
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: home against the Patriots did not help.

491
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 4: Big win for the Patriots, so they're obviously the upcoming

492
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 4: opponent here.

493
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 2: Big win for the Patriots and they'll be feeling much

494
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 2: better heading home with a win under their belt, and too,

495
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: back in front of their back in front of their

496
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: home crowd at Foxborough against the Steelers and the Lions,

497
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 2: Matt taking care of business. I think this was something

498
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: I think this was something you and I expected them

499
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: to bounce back. Yeah, but man, fifty two points as

500
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 2: they just smoke. They went by thirty one against the Bears.

501
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 4: I think I definitely said it last week other places.

502
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 4: I thought we talked about it. But after week one,

503
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 4: I looked at the Ravens, yesous Chiefs.

504
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 3: And I don't care.

505
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 4: I don't know who they're playing, but I'm picking all

506
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 4: those guys to win big. And then I saw the

507
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 4: Chiefs were taking the Eagles. I went back on my

508
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 4: word on one of the three, but the other two

509
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 4: looked pretty good. And boy, green Bay looks. The green

510
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 4: Bay wins looked so much better now. I mean they

511
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 4: dismantled that Lion's offense that dropped a fifty burger, you know,

512
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 4: and they also destroyed a Washington offense. It was like

513
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 4: one of the best of the league last year too.

514
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 4: So green Bay sitting pretty I mean, wouldn't be shocked

515
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 4: and we go through like power ranks tomorrow. I think

516
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 4: that they could be one, and I would understand it.

517
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 3: I think they might be. I think they certainly probably

518
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: should be.

519
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 4: And like the Black Night, the Lions aren't dead yet,

520
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 4: you know, flush, Yeah, yeah.

521
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 3: What are you gonna do? Bleed on me? Rams?

522
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 4: That was bring out your dead, bring out your dead.

523
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right, Yeah, all.

524
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: Right, come on, can't you just take them for me?

525
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 2: I'm not coming back till Tuesday. Rams thirty three nineteen

526
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 2: over the Titans. I think that was to be expected. Yeah,

527
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 2: you and I didn't do our We forgot to do

528
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 2: our Survivor pool picks on Friday on the show. You

529
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 2: took the Rams, I took Buffalo. Both successful. It was

530
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: a little tight there for the Rams, you know, until

531
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter.

532
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 4: People that let's pretend because I actually did on I

533
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 4: could show you on the app. I could put it

534
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 4: right here. I mean that was the think.

535
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: I think we'll count those.

536
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 4: We're in a count those.

537
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: Yes, we just forgot to share our picks on air.

538
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: But also from a Titan standpoint, Listen, I think it's

539
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: all about cam Ward and can he play. You feel

540
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 2: like he's the guy, and again I thought he showed

541
00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: some flashes in that game.

542
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 4: Would be excited if I'm I would Titans fans too.

543
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 4: I mean, he's remarkably talented all accounts, pre draft, post draft.

544
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 4: He's great from the neck up, great mentality on this

545
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 4: stuff tough, and they don't have much around him, you know,

546
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 4: and he's going to be a roller coaster. I fear

547
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 4: that there's yet another AFC star quarterback in the making,

548
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 4: you know.

549
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but I think that might

550
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: be the case as well too.

551
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: How about Mac Jones.

552
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, little little redemption for him as the Niners go

553
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 2: into New Orleans. They moved to two and oh after

554
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: a twenty six twenty one win. A lot of injuries

555
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 2: for San Francisco, but two and oh and final. Ways

556
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: to navigate it.

557
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would just call it like a business trip,

558
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: you know, like we're not on our best, we're kind

559
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 4: of banged up. But you go on a trip that

560
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 4: you should win, you do win, you get out of there.

561
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 4: I don't care about style points. You know, you made

562
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 4: the sale on the business trip.

563
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 5: You know.

564
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: Jets drop another one at home to start their season

565
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: in fall to zero and two, although it was much

566
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: different than the loss to the Steelers. Concern there for

567
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: the Jets or is this just this is a division

568
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: opponent who knows us well, who's one of the best

569
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: teams in the league, and we just had to take

570
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: our medicine that day.

571
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, somewhere in between.

572
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 4: Maybe, yeah, say it's a game I didn't pay as

573
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 4: much attention to. Unfortunately for them, Field suffered a concussion

574
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 4: I think it was, and it is highly unlikely to

575
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 4: play next week. And Tyrod Taylor, so you built some

576
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 4: momentum with him in week one. And it's it's not like,

577
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 4: what is it the transitive property? If I beat you,

578
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 4: you should beat me, Bubba.

579
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 3: That's he beat C.

580
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that A's gonna beat C. Right which

581
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: less it's the backyard brawl. Pit just lost to Ohio

582
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: as well too, all right, I had to get that

583
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: in there today.

584
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 4: Nice, I can't believe it took you this long to

585
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 4: bring up the brawl.

586
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 3: I'm maturing in my thirty four years of life.

587
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 4: But Ei though the Jets were pretty darn bad yesterday,

588
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 4: and it doesn't make the Steelers win look any better.

589
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 4: But I also thought that the Jets were quite impressive

590
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 4: in the game against Steelers. I mean, so that's what

591
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 4: I mean, like just because absp as maybe as two.

592
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 2: Weeks right, yeah, but I certainly the Jets fans are

593
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 2: not feeling as good this Monday after loss as they

594
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 2: did last Monday after a.

595
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 4: Loss, mattils are pretty good.

596
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: Another team that you were absolutely correct in thinking was

597
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: going to roll this week, and I'm sure they were

598
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: a very popular survivor pool pick.

599
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 3: This week.

600
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: The Ravens get their first season or first win of

601
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: the season back at home against the Browns. They roll

602
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: Cleveland forty one to seventeen and kind of the you know,

603
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: I think vintage Baltimore performance we all.

604
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 4: Expected, yeah, and didn't have to really rely on Henry

605
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 4: all that much, and you know, they just did what

606
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 4: they did. And Baltimore's and people won't want to hear

607
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 4: it or accept it.

608
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: They're really good.

609
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 4: They're really really good, Matt.

610
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 3: The Colts get it done again.

611
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 4: That's an interesting turn of it.

612
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: Perhaps the most surprising two to zero team in the

613
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 2: National Football League. Yeah, they hit a walk off field

614
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 2: goal to win in twenty nine to twenty eight against

615
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: the Broncos. A little officiating controversy in there as well too.

616
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 2: But get this, I don't know if you've seen this.

617
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: You're the stats guy, but I wanted to maybe say

618
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: deeler centric today the Indianapolis Colts. The twenty twenty five

619
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: Colts are the first team in the Super Bowl era

620
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: not to punt in their first two games.

621
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 4: Wow, I knew the true after week one.

622
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: They still have not punted the Colts first team in

623
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl era.

624
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 4: And that Denver defense is really good. The Miami one.

625
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 3: Man, you know, I think we both picked them to

626
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: go to the playoffs.

627
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 4: Coreer, Oh yeah, yeah, Yes, that's tough loss for Denver.

628
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 4: Knicks got better. That was promising because they had a

629
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 4: struggle in week one, and you mentioned the controversy. It

630
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 4: was the right call, but I mean it was a

631
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 4: super long field goal. Yes, they get the five yard penalty.

632
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 4: He misses the super long field goal and five yards

633
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 4: closer drains it. You lose way to lose, man.

634
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 3: It is it certainly is.

635
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 2: The Cardinals also moved to two and zero twenty seven

636
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 2: to twenty two over the Anthers. Matt, I don't think

637
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 2: asking Bryce Young to throw fifty five times is a

638
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: recipe for winning too many games.

639
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 4: No, and they're a pretty poor football team. Carolina really

640
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 4: got dominated for about three quarters and some of it

641
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 4: was like against Prevent and blah blah blah. But they

642
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 4: made it interesting in the end.

643
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 3: They did.

644
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they jumped on on side kick I think too,

645
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 4: they actually recovered game.

646
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't think that the pant While the

647
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: Panthers are going to be bad and one of the

648
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: worst teams in the league, I don't think there'll be

649
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: a pushover week to week either, if that makes sense. No,

650
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: Like I do think that they'll find a way to

651
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: win or to lose some ugly.

652
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 3: Games, Like I don't see that.

653
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: I don't expect them to lose by thirty one points

654
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: a lot like we just saw Chicagro did.

655
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're just there are ways away they are

656
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: they are.

657
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: And for the Cardinals, you got a pretty nice, uh

658
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: you know, dealt a pretty nice hand in terms of

659
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: how your schedule started with New Orleans and Carolina.

660
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 3: You take advantage of management.

661
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 4: See how really are.

662
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: Matt in the What was the game that had the

663
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: most eyeballs on it this weekend? Certainly the Chiefs. The

664
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 2: Eagles once again at Arrowhead Stadium too. Once again, Man,

665
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: the Eagles just finding a way to get it done

666
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: against Kansas City.

667
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it wasn't a super exciting game, you know,

668
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 4: there wasn't a lot of big plays Barkley jumping over people,

669
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 4: you know, But my big takeaway with the Chiefs is

670
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 4: that they just don't have any weapons right now. No,

671
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 4: they're running game with Pacheco's. You know, Kelsey's not what

672
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 4: he used to be. No Racey Rice, you know, no

673
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 4: Xavier Worthy. Mahomes is doing stuff, but he's not getting

674
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 4: a lot of help. And there was a couple of

675
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 4: plays he missed too. And I'm not officially worried about

676
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 4: the Chiefs, but I'm not sure they're in the top

677
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 4: five ish anymore.

678
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: Step back. I mean, and again, that doesn't mean they're terrible.

679
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean they still won't win double digit games

680
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: and go to the playoffs. But I think if you're

681
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: listing the true forget super Bowl content their super Bowl

682
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: favorites right now, I don't think they can be And

683
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: that that to me is like I'm gonna give them

684
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 2: a lot of benefit of the doubt until the wheels

685
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: completely fall off. I'm gonna give them a lot of

686
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: benefit of the doubts.

687
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 4: I'll probably figure it out.

688
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: But I think Philly, I think Phillies in a in

689
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 2: a in a better tier. Baltimore is in a better tier,

690
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: Buffalo is and a better tier. The Packers are in

691
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: a better tier. Like, I think those four clearly have

692
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 2: a lot more goings, and not in that upper tier,

693
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: maybe in the second tier. But it's two games. The

694
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: first one was on the road in Brazil against the

695
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 2: division for the socond one. The second one you'll lose

696
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: by three to the Super Bowl champion. It hasn't been

697
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: a disaster for Kansas City, but a surprise zero and

698
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 2: two start, I think, certainly for a team that only

699
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 2: lost two games all of last year.

700
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 4: And the Eagles are sitting pretty they're quite good.

701
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: The Eagles are sitting pretty absolutely and uh yeah, I

702
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be just fine. Uh And then finally

703
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: last night, Matt, I don't listen. I don't think any

704
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 2: of us saw that. Come the Vikings at home fall

705
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: to the Falcons twenty two to six.

706
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 4: And as you were saying that, my phone just lit

707
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 4: up that JJ McCarthy suffered a high ankle spray in

708
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 4: that game. So he's gonna be out for a while.

709
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 3: Oh man, Yeah, that's not great for Minnesota.

710
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 4: It's not great for his development too. He's been swimming

711
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 4: upstream these two games with.

712
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: He had that good quarter against Chicago, but that's about it.

713
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: The other seven quarters have not been not been promising.

714
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 4: No, I thought Pennix was really impressive. Beijon was unbelievable.

715
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 4: But I mean, wow, that's a rare player there.

716
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 5: Yes, it is.

717
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 4: They had to settle for field goals here and there,

718
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: but they they could have been up heavy on the Vikings.

719
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: I mean, Carson Wentz is the court I think so

720
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: something we could see Carson Wentz in Ireland.

721
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 4: I think, I think, I think he's truly the two.

722
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 4: I didn't think of the Steeler angle. Yeah, so you're

723
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 4: probably not gonna get McCarthy almost definitely not gonna get McCarthy.

724
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't want to face a redheaded quarterback

725
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 2: in Doublin, right, I mean, magic follower, that's.

726
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: Asking for trouble. He's gonna find the end of the rainbow.

727
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 4: There, they'll find the Leprechaun.

728
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 3: I it's not a not the start you wanted if

729
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 3: you're Minnesota, certainly.

730
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 4: No, this is this season is not going to plan.

731
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 3: It's not going to plan.

732
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 2: And then the other side of that, I think, for

733
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 2: you know, some of that optimism for Atlanta coming into

734
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: the season, I think started the show itself last night.

735
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 4: Which stood out to me with Atlanta other than Bijon

736
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 4: as Wow. Man, he is so better than ever even

737
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 4: and he's wow. But their their defense might be getting okay.

738
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 4: You know they everyone talks about the draft, those two

739
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 4: pass rushers with first round picks, and they're decent. But

740
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 4: like Billy Bowman the nickel and the safety next Debates

741
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 4: Watts from Notre Dame, they may got four like legit

742
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 4: starters in this draft and maybe finally they'll have a defense.

743
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 4: But man, they haven't forever.

744
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 3: They have not forever, right. Their sack numbers are like

745
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: the opposite of the Steelers.

746
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 4: One of my favorite stats out there.

747
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Steelers have spent the last you know, seven

748
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: or eight years. Last year aside in the top three,

749
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 2: top five, leading the league in sason.

750
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 4: I might just have to spit it out because I

751
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 4: love you tell And over the last five years, the

752
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,479
Speaker 4: Steelers have the most Saxon League. Falcons have the last.

753
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 4: Over the last ten years, Steelers have the most Saxon

754
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 4: League Falcons are last. Yes, thank you, over the last

755
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 4: twenty years.

756
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 3: But wait, there's more.

757
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 4: The Steelers are first, the Falcons are last.

758
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 2: I called you, doctor Williamson. Maybe you're Williamson mays here Matthews,

759
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: Billy Williamson here with the Billy Mays.

760
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 3: But wait, there's more that is nuts.

761
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 4: That's nuts.

762
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: That's an organizational pattern. But both but but but it

763
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 2: looks like maybe the falcons or something.

764
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 4: I hope they're both not changing in that direction.

765
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 2: I certainly hope that that is absolutely well said. One

766
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: more segment to go. We'll cross some te's dot some eyes.

767
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 2: Talk a little bit about these Monday night doubleheaders tonight

768
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: before we get up out of here. West Huuler and

769
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson. It's the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio on

770
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 2: the Steelers Audio Network.

771
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: Tune's about drive on your twenty four to seven home

772
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

773
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 2: Down the home stretch here on a Monday, and Matt,

774
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 2: we have got one of these classic early season Monday

775
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 2: night football double headers here.

776
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 3: Do you just real quick you enjoy this?

777
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: I mean, this has been a trend now, I think

778
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 2: ever since ESPN took over Monday night fo Yeah where

779
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 2: early in the year, and then I think later in

780
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 2: the year they'll do some of these double headers with

781
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 2: the first game starting at seven instead of eight fifteen,

782
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: you know, the usual time slot. I mean, I take

783
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 2: it as a football junkie.

784
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 4: You're a fan, yeah to real quickly. My phone just

785
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 4: lit up to Jayden Daniels was uncertain for week three too.

786
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 4: He's got some stuff going on with the knees. Okay, well,

787
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 4: we got some big time quarterbacks that are FaceTime the

788
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 4: quarterback here. I'm a night person, so the extra late

789
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 4: night tonight doesn't really bother me. And I do like

790
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 4: game one starting a little early. So yes, it's not

791
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 4: my favorite thing. I mean, it's after watching all day Sunday,

792
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 4: starting with the pre pregame show. No, I can never

793
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 4: complain about my job.

794
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 3: It's a lot in a row.

795
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 2: We're you know, we're not performing life saving operations or

796
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: anything like that, right, But they do come. They they

797
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 2: come fast, man, Yeah, and it can be a lot

798
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 2: to digest. I love the seven o'clock I.

799
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 3: Forget what you like that part?

800
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 4: Yeah I do.

801
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember, but I think the Steelers played

802
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: in one of these Monday night doubleheaders one point and

803
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: had had the seven o'clock game, and I remember being like,

804
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: all right, instead of getting home at three am, I'll

805
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 2: get home at one.

806
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 3: You know this is much better.

807
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: That part's great, Yeah, Bucks, and Texans tonight to a

808
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 2: great great two teams that made the playoffs last year.

809
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 3: Two division favorites.

810
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 4: You were talking about, you know that Builds and Bravens

811
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 4: are up here in that second tier. These two could

812
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 4: prove to both be in there, or maybe one's going

813
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 4: to be like I'm in the second tier totally. You know,

814
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 4: I don't know totally. I don't have a strong feeling

815
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 4: on this game, but I'm looking forward to it.

816
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: I think it's a big one for Houston back at home.

817
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't want to start zero and two. That's a

818
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: touch of all of a sudden, colts to be two

819
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: games behind your division opponent just two weeks into the season.

820
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: This is a Houston two and a half point favorite,

821
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: which is about the home field advantage, you know what

822
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 2: I mean? That almost makes it a pick them if

823
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: it's a neutral site game.

824
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 4: I leave toward Houston.

825
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 5: Yeah.

826
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 4: I really like their defense, and.

827
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: I think it's the most underrated when people talk about

828
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: the elite, the best defenses in the NFL, or at

829
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: least coming into the season. Yeah, they're It felt like

830
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 2: they were there, not in the conversation as much as

831
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: they should have been.

832
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm not sure about their offensive line stuff.

833
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 4: I thought Stroud played really one, really well in week

834
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 4: one despite the numbers not blowing you away or any

835
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 4: of that stuff. I mean they're yeah, but Tampa's just

836
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 4: strong every week they are. I mean, that's a good franchise.

837
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 3: They got a good roster. Yeah, yeah, they've got it

838
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 3: figured out. On offense.

839
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 2: They are substantially banged up the Bucks, but I think

840
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 2: Houston will take care of business, not move to zero

841
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 2: to two and get a win at home on Monday

842
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: night and then out in Viva Las Vegas, a divisional

843
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 2: matchup between the Raiders who are one and oh and

844
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: feeling pretty good about themselves and the Chargers who are

845
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 2: one and oh and a little bit extra. I mean,

846
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're not complaining, right because they were coming

847
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: back from Brazil from a different country. It's not a

848
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: massive time change like going to Ireland or England or

849
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: something like that. I think it's only a one hour difference.

850
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 2: But still, nice long break, nice long break for the Chargers.

851
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: Could we potentially see any rust there or do you

852
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: think LA three and a half point favorites on the

853
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 2: road there at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas?

854
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was really impressed with the Chargers in week one,

855
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 4: Herbert in particular. But the weapons I think are noticeably better.

856
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 4: It's not just Maconkey now, Allen looks like he's got

857
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 4: more more in the tank than I thought. Alt goes

858
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 4: from right tackle to left and it's perfectly fine, you know.

859
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 4: I mean, so, I think they're at least a tier,

860
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 4: if not two, ahead of the Raiders. I know the

861
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 4: Raiders are undefeated as we speak, and Bowers and Genty

862
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 4: and those guys are fun and they're not a doormat, No,

863
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 4: they're they're improving as an organization. But I think I

864
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 4: like the Chargers in this one.

865
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 2: And if you're LA, talk about a big opportunity kind

866
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 2: of what we just talked about with Houston and Indianapolis.

867
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: If you're the Chargers, you win tonight, You've got a

868
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 2: two game division lead and the TI and the tie

869
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 2: breaker already over Kansas City.

870
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 4: I hadn't thought about that angle, but I guess it's

871
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 4: it's amazing. We're not even done with week two and

872
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 4: we're talking about divisional races, and I got the leg

873
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 4: up and a two game lead over the Chiefs. But

874
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, breaker, right.

875
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 3: They have to start looking that way. They all matter.

876
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 2: I mean, we know, like division titles and things like

877
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 2: that are one in December, but you can lose them

878
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: in September as well too.

879
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you know it started to be huge in that division.

880
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 4: Benver lost yesterday, you beat two division games too.

881
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great point. Which is which is a

882
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 3: massive tie breaker.

883
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you could really have like a dream start

884
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 2: to the season if you're the Chargers and you take

885
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 2: care of business.

886
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 4: I'm sure the mathematicians would tell you, boy, there are

887
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 4: chances of going to the postseason.

888
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 3: Something like that, like even after two weeks makes a

889
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 3: lot of sense.

890
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 4: And quarterbacks dropping that that's kind of the news all

891
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 4: of a sudden.

892
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 3: It is the news all of a sudden.

893
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 2: But four pretty good quarterbacks that we're going to get

894
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: to watch tonight between Baker, between Stroud, between Herbert, and

895
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 2: between our Lord and Savior Eugene Cyril Smith the third.

896
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 4: So you have a good time on Saturday.

897
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: I had a great time on Saturday. I really enjoyed myself.

898
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 2: Our buddy, our buddy Adam Crowley. We had a great time.

899
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 2: Cool and you know, much like to bring it full

900
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 2: circle here. My favorite thing about Geno Smith. He was

901
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: undefeated three and oh against the Pitt Panthers, and now

902
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 2: we wait four years till the next backyard brawls that long,

903
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 2: I know which kind of stinks, But not when you

904
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: win it in epic fashion, coming back, you know, down

905
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 2: ten points with two minutes left and then winning overtime.

906
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 4: From your perspective, I'm sure some listeners disagree, it's a

907
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 4: great way to for the hiatus to start.

908
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just doing that one listeners for a little bit.

909
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 3: Let that marinate for the next four years. Baby yeah.

910
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: Obviously sad that I think the most underrated rivalry in

911
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: college sports. That's the one thing that Pitt and w

912
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 2: fans can always agree upon. They need us, we need them.

913
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 2: They don't get that type of emotion when other teams

914
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 2: come to town. We don't get that type of emotion

915
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 2: when other teams come to town.

916
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 4: Hey, my pit buddies were broken hard.

917
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 3: I'm glad.

918
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure you are.

919
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: I let a lot of our pit buddies in the

920
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 2: in our colleagues in the media know about it. On

921
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,240
Speaker 2: a Sunday in the press box. As our video producer

Speaker 2: do Wednesday. We'll do our kind of around campus and

925

Speaker 2: talk about some college quarterbacks and everything big. It was

926
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 2: a lot of important developments in the college football.

927
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 3: World day particularly.

928
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get we'll get into all of that on Wednesday.

929
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 2: But that will do it for our show today. I'm
