1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Welcome back. It is time for the Fantasy Football Focus,

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: and as we do on Wednesdays, we'll take a look

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 2: around the league here. Who's in, who's out. We just

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: got done talking there at the end of the previous

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: hour about the Steelers Jaguars injury situation. Well, let's take

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: a look at some of these other teams here. And

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: for the Patriots, Trent Brown, their left tackle, was limited

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 2: in practice on Wednesday.

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 3: He's dealing with the ankle and knee. I think you missed.

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: I don't know thisction know it's better. But they actually

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: had a good offensive performance this past week. And as

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: we mentioned before, you know a lot of dunking and

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 3: duncan and get it out of your hands. But they

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 3: restructured the whole O line and it actually was better.

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 3: I'm not saying Trent Brown won't play, but they made

19
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: a lot of O line changes.

20
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: Austin Ekelar was a full participant on Wednesday. He's still

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: dealing with that ankle.

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: Would you be worried if you're an Echler owner a

23
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 3: little bit. It's I mean, obviously the injury is not

24
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: his fault, but since he's been back, he's you got

25
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: to start him, but he's not helping you.

26
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: They do play the Bears this week, so if it

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: doesn't happen this.

28
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: Week, it might be the head coach if it doesn't

29
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 3: happen this week.

30
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: That's true too.

31
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: That is a desperate football team.

32
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: Taysom Hill, with a chest was limited on Wednesday and

33
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: Wednesday's practice.

34
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean there was some talk that he would

35
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: be quote the starting tight end, you know.

36
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well Juwan Johnson with the calf injury did return

37
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: to bout them.

38
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: A good player.

39
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: James Hurst, starting left tackle, did not practice so today

40
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: the situation he had been starting at guard but with

41
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: Andres Pete, team had to move out of the tackle

42
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: and then they.

43
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: Had had Pete play tackle against the Jags, I mean,

44
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: which they've been. Their tackle situation has been a nightmare.

45
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: Alvin Ennings playing guard.

46
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara with an illness did not practice on Wednesday.

47
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: Okay, boy, he's come back strong though.

48
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, well is it strong or is it just they're

49
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: just what's car helping them? He hasn't had a lot,

50
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: a big the yards aren't great, A million balls, like

51
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: he's gonna lead the league in receptions and he missed

52
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: the first three weeks of the year.

53
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 3: The usage is phenomenous, unbelievable. Can he looks fine? He

54
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: can't shot.

55
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: I don't think he can last of doing this.

56
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm a big Kamara fan, but I

57
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: thought nine touches last week. Oh no, it's unsustainable. Yeah,

58
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of receptions. I mean he's on

59
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: banging his head into a wall over and over. But no,

60
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 3: I hear.

61
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: I mean he had ten catches, but that means he

62
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: also had nineteen carries, which that's not who he They

63
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: ran him at the gold line.

64
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little surprised the rookie Miller isn't doing

65
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 3: anything for them. Now Williams is back, I bet he'll

66
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: take five of those off Kamara's hands. But you're pretty

67
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: happy for a Kamara owner. Yeah, I fancy.

68
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to see that scale back to maybe

69
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: twenty five touches pretty time, like in just a little bit.

70
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: I don't need the extra wear and tear.

71
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: Car is good for Kamara, Yeah, whether it's good for

72
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 3: the Saints or not. Who knows.

73
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: Traylan Burk's with the knee injury was a full participant

74
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: in Wednesday's practice for the Titans.

75
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: Like, I'm much super excited about him, but he's a

76
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: guy they need to know. Is he part of our

77
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: plans or not? You know, like they should feature him

78
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: going forward. But it's Levis and Willis and you know,

79
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's not good there.

80
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: It is not Curtis Samuel with a foot injury did

81
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: not practice on Wednesdays.

82
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: Helps them, and they played the Eagles this week. I mean,

83
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: they every bit they can get, especially for fantasy, but.

84
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: He's the slot and that's where the Eagles have struggled

85
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: with guys coming out of the slot.

86
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he could.

87
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: He could be a big if he does play this week,

88
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: could be a big DFS play.

89
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he might be cheap and worth it for that.

90
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts with the knee not listed on the team's

91
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: gingery report on Wednesday. That's good news, that's good news.

92
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: He did it near the end of the game, I

93
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: guess on Sunday night. But it's okay. This one is

94
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: not okay. Rock Perty has entered the league's concussion protocol

95
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: on a Wednesday.

96
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he played the whole game.

97
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

98
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: I mean I don't think there's like funny business there.

99
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: I mean, sometimes these things pop up you don't like them,

100
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: and the chances of playing something going.

101
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: Into concussion protocol on a Wednesday, it does not give

102
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: you time to get out of concussion protocol by Sunday.

103
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: Is it possible, Nona, I don't think it is either. Yeah,

104
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: so he will not play this week.

105
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: I don't think he plays this week. So you're looking

106
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: at Saint Arnold. Yeah, as the Bengals matchup, Fine, it's

107
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: not great, But does that change your opinion on maybe

108
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: who wins that game.

109
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: I'm actually I bet you are too. I'm interested to

110
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 3: see a non party starter for the Niners. Yeah, because

111
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: I'm I'm ready to admit that, Hey, I was too

112
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 3: hard on Party this offseason. He's not the Codges. I

113
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: mean he's he's played.

114
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: Well arm talent wise, he's like the Codges.

115
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 3: I also predicted going into the year, the fantasy quarterback

116
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: own in San Francisco is Sam Darnold because he's gonna

117
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: get in sometime and they're not gonna want to get

118
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: him out.

119
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: There'll be more he has to push.

120
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: Pick arm strength and size and mobility, and he's younger

121
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 3: than Kenny Pickett.

122
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: They've had time to work with him a little bit

123
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: here and the guys will be open.

124
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not saying he may be the bust

125
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 3: of all busts, but he might be halfway between Trey

126
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: Lance and Jimmy you know.

127
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 2: I saw I saw stat today. The most open wide

128
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 2: receiver in the NFL this season has been Brandon Ayuk

129
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: all seasons, all season long.

130
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: Hidden superstar. People think he's good, he's great, and the

131
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: scheme helps him a great deal.

132
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: But he's not getting the football like he's a super like.

133
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: He's not getting guys.

134
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: Right right target ye or you know those guys right. No,

135
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 3: he's their best receiver.

136
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 2: Uh Andrew Thomas returned to a limited practice on Wednesday

137
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: for the man could they use it?

138
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: I mean, they're playing the Jets. There's not gonna be

139
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: a lot of games, and there are a lot of

140
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: points in that game, but you got to stop that

141
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 3: pass rush.

142
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: Uhakwon Barkley with an elbow is limited Wednesday. That's actually

143
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: good good news that it's not the anchor because he

144
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: played through the elbow injury that it happened in Sunday's game.

145
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: He came back out with a sleeve on his arm.

146
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

147
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: Okay, So the fact that he's he's no longer listed

148
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: with the ankle at all is a good thing.

149
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: He's getting a lot of touches. Yeah.

150
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: Let's see, Zach Moss did not practice on Wednesday. He

151
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: is dealing with elbow and heel issues.

152
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: Taylor looked great.

153
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: It's great news for Taylor runners because Moss still got

154
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: fifteen touches in the game. But I think that's how

155
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: they want to play it. Yeah, they're gonna So do

156
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 2: they give Taylor now and he had I think nineteen

157
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: carries last week? Maybe does he not get thirty four carries?

158
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 3: No, but he's gonna get a lot of touches. I mean, like,

159
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think a split backfield there

160
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: hurts Taylor. Yeah, there's enough to go around.

161
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: But it does. Like if he's hurt, can they trade

162
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: him Moss? Yeah, because he would be Like if I didn't,

163
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: if I have running back issues. Right now, I'm calling

164
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: the Colts and saying, Hey, you just paid Taylor all

165
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: that money, do you do you really want to carry

166
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: two of these guys.

167
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: And we don't deal in rumors on the drive very much,

168
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: but you keep seeing little things on Twitter that Baltimore

169
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: is interested in Derrick Henry Zach Boss would be the

170
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: guy I'd be after. Yeah, I mean you get him cheap,

171
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: he's young, fits your profiles, a draft pick though he

172
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: just cast your draft pick. Yeah, but he would be

173
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: very helpful to a team like the Ravens.

174
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: The Panthers activated guard Austin Corbett from the pup list. Okay,

175
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: that's somebody they I mean, some offensive line.

176
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's making money. Yeah, I mean he's not a nobody.

177
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: H DK Metcalf, with the hip and ribs, was limited

178
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: in Wednesday's practice for the Seahawks.

179
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: I told you my DK Metcalf story from the weekend, right.

180
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: I don't believe so Oh yeah you did, Yeah you did.

181
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

182
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: He makes me sad. It makes you look bad too,

183
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: because I started a guy for a zero.

184
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: The Panthers did play safety Jeremy Chin on ir Yeah.

185
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: They're bad. I mean their defense is almost bad as

186
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: their offense.

187
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: Chris Goblin looking ahead at the Thursday Nights game with

188
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: the neck injury, is questionable for Week eight against the Bills,

189
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: but he was limited in today's practice.

190
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 3: I assume you start him. He's not great. He's a

191
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: wide receiver three to me. I mean, if he's one

192
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: on your team, I guess he's in your lineup. Assume

193
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 3: he plays.

194
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, Baker Mayfield with a knee questionable.

195
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: I thought he's going.

196
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 4: He was.

197
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he went as a limited participants as well today.

198
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones, Yeah, one did not practice on Wednesday. Yeah,

199
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: maybe that thing up on him.

200
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I thought they'd lean on him more. Maybe

201
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 3: he just came back too soon, or like I said,

202
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 3: probably flare it up. I don't like that such. I

203
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 3: don't like anything going on there right now.

204
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: No, that's that's tough.

205
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: Who are they playing again?

206
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 2: Minnesota?

207
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: Minnesota, Okay, I can see there. I don't know. I

208
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: might even say that their receivers doing well, but they're

209
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: not gonna have Christian Uh, you know, Watson's playing, and

210
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: looks like Watson's.

211
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: Playing, he's gonna knee. Luke Musgrave with an ankle, did

212
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: not participate on Wednesday.

213
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: That one looked like it was kind of seriously. Yeah,

214
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: I think they thought about put him on ir.

215
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 2: Let's see here, we got Miles Sanders a full participant

216
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: in practice Wednesday. What do you think happens?

217
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 3: There a lot of talk that Sanders didn't come back

218
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 3: as the two, or is a true split, Like he's

219
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: knocking has been better.

220
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: Has been the better runner, he's been the better back.

221
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I mean, like in the league, wearning together,

222
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 3: he was on the waiver wires. Someone picked him up

223
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: this week. I mean I assume he got dumped while.

224
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: He was off. I looked at it. I thought about him, like, Eh,

225
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: is he going to ever play for me? Probably not right? Right,

226
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: I've got Cuba Hubbard.

227
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but so may be slightly more attractive to you.

228
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: But he didn't move the needle for me. I'm like

229
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 3: what he put it in for him?

230
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. And here's the problem with a guy like Miles Sanders.

231
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 2: He had a ton of success last year in Philadelphia

232
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 2: running behind what was probably the league's best best offensive

233
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 2: Deal with you, now he's not playing behind the league's

234
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: best offensive line. You start, you probably fall into some

235
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: bad habits playing behind the line that I can take

236
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: an extra half second here because these guys are gonna

237
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: hold their blocks.

238
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: That's actually been a trait of his as well. And

239
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 3: I think he learned a bad trade from Berkley at

240
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: Penn State, thinking I'm the best athlete.

241
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: On the field, hit a home run every time.

242
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: You know. It's a big time recruit out of Woodland

243
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 3: Hills and he is very talented, but he's never been

244
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: a professional runner, you know what I mean. And that's

245
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: with what he's playing with Carolina. You get everything.

246
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: Chuba Hubbard ran for them last year. He knows what

247
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: there line's like. He's just getting yardage, can take it

248
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: upfield and get yarded. I remember when the Steelers played

249
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: them last year, he was like, Okay, he's just gonna

250
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 2: get it and go.

251
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, he's a no nonsense. He's not great,

252
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: but he's been the better of the two.

253
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: Roshawn Johnson, with the concussion, was a full participant in

254
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: Wednesday's practice. What do you think happens there?

255
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: I think he is the one. I know Foreman was

256
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: really good.

257
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: But two starts have been good.

258
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 3: Real good, real good. And he's been catching the ball.

259
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not saying four and goes away. I

260
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: bet Johnson out touches them. I don't know, but maybe

261
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: I'm not certain.

262
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: I think you figure. I think he eas him back

263
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: into it.

264
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: And I know they're really high on him.

265
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: He hasn't played in a couple of weeks. I don't

266
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: think you're just running right back out. They're coming off

267
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: the concussions. Say you're gonna get twenty touches in this game.

268
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 3: So they played the Chargers. You can run on the

269
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: You consider playing both.

270
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: Those dudes, I'd think about flexing them.

271
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: Say they're both flexish. Yeah, they have flex appeal.

272
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: They have flex appeal. Tannehill did not practice day as

273
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: we said, he's not going to play this week.

274
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: Jayden Reid playing Steelers.

275
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 2: No, it's a short week, I'd say less. Yeah, it's

276
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: Jayden Reid with the shin practiced on Wednesday.

277
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: Okay, if they're not gonna have Watson, they're not gonna

278
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: have Jones, they're not gonna.

279
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: Good news here about Watson is he practiced on Wednesday.

280
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: I didn't think he was doing too I thought, okay,

281
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: so that's good news for that.

282
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not a bad matchup against Minnesota's corners.

283
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: No, it's not Jerome Ford with an ankle not going

284
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: to go on ir but he's not playing this week.

285
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: Right, that's the news, is I guess it's good news.

286
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: He's not going on IR, but he's not playing this week, right.

287
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 2: Raven's safety Marcus will Williams with the hamstring is still

288
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 2: not practicing today. He just told him out this week,

289
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: and I would think. Yeah, the Ravens did designate wide

290
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: receiver Tyler Wallace to return from IR.

291
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: I don't think he even cracks the lineup for those guys.

292
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Buccaneers activated running back Chase Edmonds from injury.

293
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: Preserve that one's interesting.

294
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he plays a lot and catches a lot of balls.

295
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: It doesn't do anything.

296
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: He doesn't do anything as a runner.

297
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,359
Speaker 2: Chase Edmonds played for their offensive coordinator in Arizona.

298
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: They don't have a true running back running back. Yeah,

299
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if that's Edmonds or not,

300
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: but let's keep an eye out on him.

301
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: Tanked l with a concussion back at practice on Wednesdad Good.

302
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if I throw him right back in

303
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 3: my fantasy lineup, but people got a little too excited

304
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: about him right before the steel game.

305
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Giants coach Brian Daball said, Darren Waller limited in

306
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: practice today.

307
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 3: But he's a good game and he was looking all right, Yeah,

308
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: get pretty comfortable with him.

309
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: The Seahawks signed Frank Clark. Yeah, so he will not

310
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: be going back to Kansas City or headed to Baltimore

311
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: or one of those spots. That's good news. David and

312
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: Joku with a knee did not practice on Wednesday.

313
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: Okay, he's been a letdown too. Yeah.

314
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: He makes like one play a game.

315
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: He makes like one play a game. Yeah. I had

316
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: high hopes for him last year or going into this year.

317
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: I look, I don't know if he could start. Can

318
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: you start a Cleveland receiver this week?

319
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: Probably don't have a choice on a Mari It's.

320
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: Gonna be PJ. Walker again. They've already announced that, like

321
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: they had to sign him to their active roster. He

322
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: was on their practice squad and nobody else signed him.

323
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: I don't think he.

324
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: Can of them.

325
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 2: Kareem Hunt with a thigh did not practice on Wednesday.

326
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: Wow. I mean they had nothing at the moment on offense.

327
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: But they're gonna have to win that game like nine

328
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: to six.

329
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they get the backup from they get the guy

330
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 2: they traded him from. Uh strange, strong, stronger strong.

331
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: So will he get the bulk of the carries you.

332
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 2: Would guess if Hunt can't go.

333
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: It's gonna be super successful. But that's it's actually the

334
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 3: offense doing much that's yucky. Yeah wow yea, And this

335
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: looks like do you see what jimmy Ers said today

336
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: or the tweet he put out too about the league

337
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: basically to saying, we screwed you guys over Yeah, you know,

338
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 3: they should have lost that game. They should have lost

339
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: that game.

340
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, should have lost that game.

341
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: I'm not a big Oh they should have won this.

342
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: They should have won that. The Ravens dropped too many passes.

343
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: They should have lost that game. And they got screwed bad.

344
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: Uh. Brian dave Ball also said he personally assured Saquon

345
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: Barkley he will not be traded.

346
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: No, so I believe that. I mean someone comes out

347
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: that vehemently. Okay, cool, I mean I know Saquan wants

348
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 3: to be there. I think he's a Jersey guy.

349
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. But John Robinson listed as headache, Well he practiced today.

350
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that, Yes, because that was a huge,

351
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: huge deal for fantasy owners. I trust not listed on

352
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: the injury report. Uh, all of a sudden, you look

353
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: up and if nobody was watching the Buccaneers and Falcons.

354
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: Play No, but I like, have my line up.

355
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: Let's get your line up up.

356
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 3: You got point three years eight minutes.

357
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: Into the first quarter and Bjeon doesn't have a touch

358
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: yet in touch? What's going on here? I'm sitting in

359
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: the press box in Los Angeles, I'm like, what the

360
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: hell's going on with Jeon Robinson? Here? Did he get hurt?

361
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: So I assumed that you get We get to a

362
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: commercial break and I google Bjeon Robinson. There's nothing there

363
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: and I don't even own him. I was just curious,

364
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: what's going on with this?

365
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: Like at that point, I searched Twitter, and it's just

366
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: a bunch of fantasy people going where's Jon? Nobody had

367
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: an answer? Nobody And he's standing I mean I had

368
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: Red Zone on too that show him standing there, Patterson

369
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: getting carries, Like, how's you? I understand? Why is quarter

370
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: Oal Patterson getting carries and is just standing there?

371
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: And and it turns out to be a headache. That's

372
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: he started feeling bad Saturday the night before and they

373
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: didn't put him on the injury report. You can add

374
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: guys to the injury report at any time. Yes, they're

375
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: going to get fined they're gonna get fined.

376
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 3: I mean, the league and betters and now fantasy, they're

377
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: so intertwined. You can't be hiding information or not disclosing information.

378
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: Not just it's also from a competitive standpoint, Like you're

379
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and you spent the entire week

380
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: preparing for Bijon in the things and the things is

381
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: let alone, all of a sudden Cordell Patterson, who's also

382
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: a very innique back, and now he's in there doing

383
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: stuff that you didn't prepare for. That you because they

384
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,119
Speaker 2: somebody hit something, because they hit something.

385
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. And then the other thing that rubs me

386
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: kind of wrong is he would occasionally get in the

387
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 3: game and they even gave him a carry very late

388
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 3: in the game. So like in fantasy he ended up

389
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 3: with point three points or something like that. You have

390
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 3: three yard carry. Were you really worried about his head?

391
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

392
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what I mean, if you were, if

393
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: he was having this terrible migraine or whatever, why would

394
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: you hand him the football? Yeah?

395
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I don't know. I can't. But they're gonna get.

396
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 3: Fined over, they're gonna get fine. Think they should.

397
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith came out today and said, what's the big deal. Well, Arthur,

398
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: you're gonna find out it's a big deal, right. I mean,

399
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: this is a big, multi gazillion corporation. They play the

400
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 2: Titans this week. If wouldn't they like to know, if

401
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry wasn't gonna play, Sure it would change how

402
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: you prepared for the game.

403
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 3: The Titans said, oh, Tannehill's gonna play.

404
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: They changed, Yeah, they changed up. Sunday morning, you look

405
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: up and there's Tannehill out on the like listen, they

406
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: take him off the injury list. Oh he's gonna fly,

407
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: and you psych.

408
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you got it them. And that's that doesn't

409
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 3: fly anymore days.

410
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 2: In a league where you don't want teams trying to

411
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 2: gain a competitive advantage by taping upon sidelines and stealing signals,

412
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: things of that nature. Everybody's supposed to be on the

413
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: on a level playing field here a little bit.

414
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 3: That's why the honor system a little bit. Yeah, if

415
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 3: we bust you on it, we're gonna bust your heart.

416
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, ask Bill Belichick.

417
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: And that's what I'm saying is it's the days of

418
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 3: putting everyone down is questionable or probable or whatever. Ain't

419
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: gonna fly anymore.

420
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: Man, No, it doesn't work. They've taken that probable away.

421
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: If somebody has a hangnail, put them on there.

422
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 3: Because this was the night before, I mean, yeah, I

423
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: think it'd be a little more excusable if in pregame

424
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 3: warm ups he's like, WHOA, I just got hit with

425
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: a massive headache. I mean, I mean he's in the

426
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: right dark room or whatever migrating people deal with. I mean,

427
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 3: I know it's not the laughing matter. This was night before, Yeah,

428
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 3: he said started feeling bad. Yeah, and maybe he didn't

429
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 3: tell anyone. I don't know, but he didn't play right

430
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 3: kill somebody.

431
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, they're they're gonna be sticky though. Yeah, they're

432
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: going to be in a little bit of trouble there.

433
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: That's going to do it for the fantasy football focus.

448
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 2: I am Dale Lolly, and I'm Matt. One of the

449
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 2: things that we usually check up on here over the

450
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: course of the season. Every once in a while. We're

451
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: about halfway there now.

452
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 3: Every couple of weeks. Probably should do it.

453
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: The DVOA playoff odds. This is on FTN Fantasy. Used

454
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: to be on Football Outsiders. Same stuff though, same stuff,

455
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: same formulas, and so looking now at where the Steelers

456
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: sit here at four and two.

457
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 3: So folks, this takes into account future schedule. You know

458
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: where they sit now? Tiebreakers, I mean like it's a

459
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 3: massive algorithm right now.

460
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: They're mean wins. This is what the algorithm is saying

461
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: they're going to win this year. Okay, that's the nine

462
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: point nine.

463
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: That's a lot. So a football outsider's trait, like if

464
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 3: you get their almanac, Aaron Shotts will always tell you like,

465
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 3: we're not gonna have any teams that have two wins

466
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: or fifteen. Yeah, so like there's a lot that hover

467
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 3: around five hundred. So the difference to what I'm saying,

468
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 3: we wouldn't. I know, this isn't how the real world works.

469
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 3: But like nine point nine is a lot different than

470
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: nine point one, right, and they both are still with

471
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 3: nine and eighteen, but it's a big difference. That's a

472
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 3: pretty big number.

473
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: So their chances of finishing with the number one overall

474
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 2: seed in the AFC is two point seven percent. Okay,

475
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: they're at five point six percent to finish as the

476
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: number two seed. Well, they are at three point I'm sorry,

477
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: four point one as the number three seed, three point

478
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: one percent to finish as the four seed. They are

479
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: at eighteen point eight percent to finish as the five seed.

480
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 3: Wow, so that's probably their most likely I'll let you finish.

481
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: To finish sixth, they're at fourteen point seven percent, and

482
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 2: to finish seventh, they're at twelve percent. Overall, their chance

483
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: to win the division chance title is fifteen or win

484
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: the division title is fifteen point four percent. Okay, their

485
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 2: chance to be a wild card is forty five point

486
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: five percent, And right now they have a sixty point

487
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 2: nine percent chance making the playoffs.

488
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 3: GI me, that's the one that's most important, you know,

489
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 3: is what's your chance of getting in? You know, I mean,

490
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 3: so it's four teams in every division, that all is

491
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: going to add up to one hundred percent. I mean,

492
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: some divisions like Jacksonville's, I'm sure they're like a eighty

493
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: percent chance of winning their division, you know, with the

494
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 3: Steelers are going to be less than twenty five because

495
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: of who's in your division. But I was more concerned

496
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 3: with percent chance to get to the postseason in any way,

497
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 3: shape or form.

498
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the playoff scenarios. To get into the conference

499
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 2: round of the playoffs, the Steelers have an eight point

500
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 2: one percent chance, okay.

501
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 3: To have a buy Then you're talking about how far

502
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 3: they go, right, Okay, once they get in.

503
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: To get into that's a conference championship, I should say. Okay,

504
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: they get into the AFC championship eight point one percent,

505
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 2: that's pretty high, Uh, to win the conference championship, to

506
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: go to the super Bowl two point five percent, also

507
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: pretty high. To win the Super Bowl zero point eight percent.

508
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: I guarantee you all of those are much higher than

509
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: they were at the beginning of the season.

510
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: Oh, without question, without question, Yeah, I got no doubt

511
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 3: in my mind.

512
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: You know, so you know what you've done this far

513
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: thus far this season, how.

514
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 3: You set yourself up, and the wins that you get

515
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: and the wins you don't and tie breakers and who's

516
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 3: on the future schedule and all that good stuff, is

517
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: how this all comes about.

518
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: Do you mind?

519
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 3: I just kind of see from across the table that

520
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 3: it looks like it's broken up into division it is. Yes,

521
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 3: what are the percent chances to win the North for

522
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: the four teams? Okay, well, obviously the Ravens are pretty high. Yeah,

523
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: the obvious one is the Ravens at but I bet

524
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 3: they're not fifty percent.

525
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: To win the division. That's sixty eight percent.

526
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: Wow, that's I would take the field.

527
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 2: For the Browns to win the division, it's fourteen point

528
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 2: eight percent.

529
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 3: Isn't that right about where the Steelers were?

530
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: The Steelers are at fifteen point four percent.

531
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess they beat both those teams.

532
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 2: The Bengals are at one point eight percent.

533
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: That's what was most curious.

534
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: Have they dug themselves that big of a hole right

535
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: now that they can't win the division?

536
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: They would have to maybe sweep all the division games,

537
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 3: and they got some.

538
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 2: Now they're going to get the forty nine Ers this

539
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 2: week without Yeah, so I think with Sam Darnold.

540
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 3: I haven't checked it on DVOA, but it can't be

541
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 3: too far off. According to EPA, which they're almost neck

542
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: and neck in terms of why they rank things, the

543
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: Bengals have the hardest remaining schedule in the league. Yeah,

544
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 3: Like I I don't know if I give them a

545
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 3: fifty percent chance of being a postseason team Right now.

546
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: The Bengals mean wins. Remember the Steelers were at nine

547
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: point nine.

548
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 3: I bet they're seven point nine this thing.

549
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 2: They're at seven point eight.

550
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm good. The Ravens.

551
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: The Ravens right now are at twelve point. Cleveland is

552
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: at ten point two.

553
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 3: The Ravens are twelve. That's huge.

554
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 2: I don't know that Cleveland is going to finish with

555
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: more wins than the Steelers based on their quarterback situation.

556
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 3: Which offense would you rather have?

557
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh?

558
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: Me too? I met rather with the Browns d I

559
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 3: mean there's no.

560
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb and your quarterback situation is a mess, a mess.

561
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, they're going to lose some games. They

562
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: were very We talked about the thing. They should have

563
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 2: lost that game on Sunday to the Indianapolis Coat.

564
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 3: They should have lost. I mean like they were outplayed

565
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 3: and a bad REP decision helped them win or made

566
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 3: them win.

567
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: Basically, they were outplayed in that game badly, badly.

568
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 3: That one was a lucky one.

569
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 2: Against the Colts, who are a middling team.

570
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, they can be hard to play against.

571
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, when your quarterback situation is as bad as

572
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: what Cleveland's is right now, and all of a sudden

573
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: you can't run the football the way you want to

574
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: run the football.

575
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're in trouble. I agree, And I'm not worried

576
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 3: about the Browns defense. But the Browns defense didn't dominate

577
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: that game.

578
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: As we've seen though in the TV years, when the

579
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: Steelers offense was really struggling. Your defense isn't playing more

580
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: snaps than it should yeah, yeah, yeah, and it starts

581
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: to wear down. That's would be the case. That would

582
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: be a concern.

583
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they're also that defense is also built for speed,

584
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: and it's not a they don't have a lot of depth,

585
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 3: A lot of bangers, a lot of depth. You know,

586
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 3: I think it's a great defense. But you're one hundred

587
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 3: percent right. It wouldn't shock me if they go from

588
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 3: first in Dvoa to a month from now they're second,

589
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 3: two months from now they're sixth. You know what I mean,

590
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 3: just because they're out there all the time.

591
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: All the times.

592
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 3: A rough way to live.

593
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: I mean, the Colts ran the ball, but down the field.

594
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 3: On I mean, the worst kind of defense is too

595
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: much defense.

596
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh, there's no doubt about it.

597
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: No league is undefeated that way.

598
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: This Jacksonville team, their meme wins right now is eleven

599
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: makes sense? This one goes to eleven speaking, Yeah.

600
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 3: Must have a huge chance to when they're.

601
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: Seventy four point seven percent. The only one that's higher

602
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: than that is Kansas City at ninety seven point. Wow,

603
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: we're seven games into the season.

604
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: Is there a ninety seven percent chance that Mahomes stays healthy? No,

605
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: Kelsey or you know.

606
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: I bet. I just want to look here, I bet Detroit, Yeah,

607
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 2: they should be higher Detroit, Philly. Detroit at ninety point.

608
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: Four Okay, who are all the leaders? I bet Philly's

609
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 3: got a seventy percent Yan something.

610
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: There, they're at sixty nine point three percent.

611
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 3: I'm good and that's pretty darn close. Matt, good job.

612
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

613
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: Then you got the NFC North is Detroit at ninety

614
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 2: point four. The NFC South is actually.

615
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: They all like twenty five percent, Carolina.

616
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: At Atlanta's at forty six point nine percent.

617
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 3: I mentioned future schedules. Atlanta has the easiest future, and.

618
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: They've already got a win in hand against Tampa.

619
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 3: Huge game. The only team this past week whose playoff

620
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 3: odds went up more than the Steelers was Atlanta the Niners.

621
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 2: The Niners are at eighty five point two.

622
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 3: That hold on it too.

623
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: In the AFC East, it is the Dolphins at fifty

624
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: six point seven.

625
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 3: It's a two horse race.

626
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: Then you got the Bill or the Ravens they said

627
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: sixty eight percent. The AFC south of Jags is seventy four.

628
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: And then Kansas City. Kansas City, Okay, Like, what's the

629
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 3: chances of the Bills, chances.

630
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 2: Of all all of that happening, all eight of those

631
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: teams holding on them winning their division?

632
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 3: Right, I mean it's.

633
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: Probably seventy five percent chance two of those teams will

634
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: change to at least two of those will change.

635
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 3: We know Parlays don't hit very often, correct, would you

636
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: parlay the Jags and Chiefs to win? That seems like

637
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: that's stealing, Like that's easy. Yeah, but Parlays don't hit

638
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 3: very often. They don't a lot to go.

639
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: Again, you just mentioned Mahomes getting hurt would change everything.

640
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: The problem is they've already got such a big lead

641
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: in that division.

642
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 3: I mean, does that mean the Raiders are going to

643
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 3: catch them?

644
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: No?

645
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 3: No, the Broncos, No, the Chargers didn't get it right. Maybe.

646
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: I mean, right now, the Chargers at.

647
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 3: Two and four, what's their chance to make the playoffs?

648
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 2: Have a nineteen point five percent chance to make the playoffs.

649
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: So the other two are way worse.

650
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: I imagine more point one percent and then point nine percent.

651
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: Wow. I think that adds up though.

652
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Chiefs have a ninety nine point two percent

653
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: chance to make the playoffs.

654
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 4: Wow.

655
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 3: I wonder. I mean, if Mahomes didn't play another snap

656
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: this year, would they make the playoffs or not?

657
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: Probably?

658
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 3: Probably?

659
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: I find you find a way to win, yeah, you know, I.

660
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: Mean there's a couple of cupcakes. I'm sure on the schedule,

661
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 3: particularly in the division, you have a defense. Yeah, I

662
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 3: don't know who the backup is it.

663
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the key for the Chiefs is that

664
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: the defense is better this year.

665
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: They have a no line of defense that you could

666
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 3: put you know, a rookie back there and be okay.

667
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: And Pacheco they can they unit.

668
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 3: Elsea still gets open no matter who the quarterback is.

669
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

670
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: Now they wouldn't be as pretty they might.

671
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: You know know, they would be five hundred at bat.

672
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: They might get you know, struggle to get to ten wins,

673
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 2: but they probably get to ten wins.

674
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 3: Which probably wins the West. Yeah, considering the state of

675
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 3: the West. Yeah, the Bengals the one to worry about.

676
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: They are definitely one to worry about. Yeah, and the

677
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 2: Billy dug a hole. The Bills might be trending the

678
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: wrong way here too.

679
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 3: I think they are. I think they're defense. I would

680
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: be aggressive at the trade deadline if the.

681
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: Bills they need to do something inside line back.

682
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, if not a secondary guy too.

683
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I think they have some issues.

684
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: They do.

685
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: Their win total right now is ten point three.

686
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: What's their chance to win the division versus Miami.

687
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 2: They're now at thirty five percent. Miami's at fifty six

688
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: point seven percent. Remember, but they've got to win in

689
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: hand against Miami.

690
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, bigs. Yeah, that's why I was curious about it,

691
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 3: because the other two teams have like no chance.

692
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: The Jets have a seven point three percent chance and

693
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: the Patriots have a one percent chance. Yeah, they beat

694
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: the Bills.

695
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 3: I can't see that one those teams going on a

696
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 3: winning streak or anything like that.

697
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: No, nor can I, nor can I.

698
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that's not bad for the Steelers though.

699
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: No, it's it's you know, even if you if you

700
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 2: would happen to lose this one this week, but then

701
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: Cleveland also loses, let's say Cincinnati. It all depends on

702
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 2: who else loses.

703
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, the division ar in doesn't help the Steelers, No,

704
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 3: it really doesn't. I mean if they were in the

705
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 3: NFC South or maybe even nifty you know.

706
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyways, we gotta get to break. He is Matt Williamson.

707
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: I am Dale Lolly. When we come back, we'll hear

708
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: from Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett. We'll do that right after this.

709
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: He's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

710
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

711
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

712
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I'm Dale Lolly. He is the Matt Williamson

713
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: and Matt. Kenny Pickett spoke to the media earlier today

714
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 2: and talked a lot about the script.

715
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 3: Is a questions about the script? Interested to hear about it?

716
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can see that.

717
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 3: I mean that's being around you media, folks. I've heard

718
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 3: that pop up a little bit more behind the scenes

719
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: of late script.

720
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: Script script, script script. I thought I was in Hollywood

721
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: for a little bit.

722
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 3: So let's hear it.

723
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's hear what Kenny Pickett had to say earlier

724
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: today with the assembled media.

725
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 6: Can you guys feel like you found something there?

726
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 4: And that's second now, I think it was a positive

727
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 4: for sure. You know nowhere are nowhere where it needs

728
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 4: to be.

729
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 5: We want to play a full four quarters. But I

730
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 5: think it was a positive force.

731
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 6: When we're looking at this, do you feel like it's

732
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 6: been baby steps? Do you feel like you're progressively getting better?

733
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 5: Not you personally, but this offense personally and as an offense,

734
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 5: I think one hundred percent we're moving in the right direction.

735
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 4: Most important thing.

736
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 5: Is that we're winning, getting guys back healthy.

737
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 4: It's great to have.

738
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 5: The ante guys in front, you know, eighty ahmv off

739
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 5: for a little bit, so we need guys to step up.

740
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 4: That's how it goes.

741
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 5: So I think definitely, you know, moving in the right direction.

742
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 5: Just want to get there as fast as we can.

743
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 6: Why are your numbers so much better in the second

744
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 6: half and the fourth quarter? Can you just put your

745
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 6: finger on it?

746
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 4: Is it just just I think we heard.

747
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 5: I think we hurt ourselves a little bit with penalties earlier.

748
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 5: This game for sure set ourselves back behind the chain.

749
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 5: Some some negative plays we didn't do that, or we

750
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 5: limited a little bit.

751
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 4: In the second half.

752
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 5: We still had some, but not as crucial as the

753
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 5: ones we had.

754
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 4: I think in the first half.

755
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 5: You know, we're all working together to get to get

756
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 5: it right.

757
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: Looking at this fourth quarter, what did you see back

758
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: when you watch the tape again, the work.

759
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 5: I think the balance was there were We're you know,

760
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 5: getting efficient runs, We're popping some on.

761
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 4: The backs, were hitting the whole really hard twenty two

762
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 4: and thirty. The great job.

763
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 5: The line was working well, receivers were getting open. I

764
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 5: was throwing the ball on time. All the things that

765
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 5: you need to be a successful offense. We have working

766
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 5: for us in that fourth quarter. So that's the kind

767
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 5: of football that we're chasing.

768
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 2: Likely saying that the opening script, the plays that are

769
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: being called a necessarily what's pulling you expect?

770
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 6: Maybe sometimes it's the execution early in games.

771
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 2: Just what it meaning that it takes you guys some

772
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: time to get settled into executing.

773
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 4: That's really I mean, you can't I can't give you

774
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 4: an answer on that. I'm not sure what it is.

775
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 5: It's you know, a guy here there a penalty or

776
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 5: a sack or a negative run that puts you behind

777
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 5: the chains, and you get out of those plays, you're

778
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 5: obviously not gonna stay on scripling. You're behind the chain.

779
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 5: So that's what we're we're hunting. Just you know, key

780
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 5: the positive plays. If we get a three or two

781
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 5: yard run, it's okay, we're staying on schedule.

782
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 4: Just keep moving that way.

783
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: So maybe can you collaborate with you know, Matt and

784
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: Mike in putting.

785
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 4: Together that opening story.

786
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I give you I ranked my plays, you know,

787
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 5: and all this different sections that we have and then

788
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 5: you know, coach Canada does it from there. So I

789
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 5: think we're working hand to hand with everything that we've

790
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 5: been doing.

791
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 4: It's been good because the playbook gets shorter late in games.

792
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 4: Are you running maybe less stuff because you know you

793
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 4: have an idea.

794
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: What you think will work at that point.

795
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 4: Yes, and no.

796
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 5: I think there's some things that you kind of wait

797
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 5: for situations to have that perfect call. You don't want

798
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 5: to leave the stadium without calling it, but you also

799
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 5: want to hopefully put yourself in the most advantageous look

800
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 5: to get it, which we were able to do in

801
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 5: that fourth quarter moving the ball while getting in the

802
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 5: red zone and being.

803
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 4: Successful down there.

804
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 5: So it's all about timing with those plays and how

805
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 5: we want to call them.

806
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 2: Is that part of the scripting to figure out what

807
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 2: what looks you're going to get and so you can

808
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 2: figure out how you can get those looks.

809
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 4: Scripting is your.

810
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 5: Guys, bug where there's I mean, listen, you have plays, plays,

811
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 5: trying to figure things out, right, Yeah, I mean I

812
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 5: don't this whole script talk. I mean it's you know,

813
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 5: you hope it goes as to flan. I mean, listen,

814
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 5: some things you're gonna have plays or you gotta you

815
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 5: gotta adjust on the fly and do some different things.

816
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 5: They gave us some different looks early on that we

817
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 5: didn't see on tape. That that throws a wrench into

818
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 5: your plans of the script of that you have plays

819
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 5: lined up to do. So, Yeah, it depends on what happens,

820
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 5: I think any where we're going with that.

821
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 4: And why it's been sort of a talking point.

822
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 2: Is like Mike talked about this during this press conference,

823
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 2: you guys are looking for things as well as just

824
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 2: trying to get a play that gainst your yard at

825
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: your points right.

826
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 4: So you use the word balance before.

827
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 2: Do you have that right balance or you may be

828
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: probing too much early as opposed to, Hey, we.

829
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 4: Think this play will work, let's just go out there

830
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 4: and do that and get yards. No, I think we

831
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 4: have positive plays and then we have.

832
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 5: A negative play that puts you behind me. That that

833
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 5: was the story. We had a sack, we had a penalty.

834
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 5: You know, we get down there inside the ten, We

835
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 5: have a penalty that calls back a twenty five yard

836
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 5: pass play that gets us down there in a short

837
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 5: goal line, tight red area.

838
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 4: Those things are gonna hurtship. You know.

839
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 5: We have ten we get ten points in that first half.

840
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 5: It's a thirty point game, you're feeling pretty good. You're

841
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 5: on fourteenth at the end there, So like those little

842
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 5: plays change kind of games a little bit.

843
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 4: So and that was definitely something we gotta do.

844
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 5: Is just stay ahead of the chains, be smart, don't

845
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 5: have penalties, don't have miss assignments, and then we'll stay

846
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 5: on schedule.

847
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 6: Have you guys found some bread and butter plays that

848
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 6: plays that you're like.

849
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 2: Man, we can execute this and get by eight ten

850
00:35:58,920 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 2: yards consistently.

851
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, we had this Katy Whya's consistency been an issue.

852
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 4: It seems like you guys built some momentum a week

853
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 4: or two and then next week's to step back sort of.

854
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 4: It's it's a process like this.

855
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 5: I don't know where that where you got that one from.

856
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 5: We came out the bye week, we had to we

857
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 5: played well, we got to win. We're looking just to

858
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 5: stack another game now and and stack wins.

859
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 4: That's what's most important. So I don't really agree with

860
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 4: that one how much.

861
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you guys had a good week against

862
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 2: the Raiders and then against the Texas, so you can

863
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 2: get a bad So, I mean it was you know,

864
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 2: after the Raiders were.

865
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 4: Asking it's just the the time the offense is turned

866
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 4: the corner and then.

867
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 2: It was a step back.

868
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 4: So that's kind of one. Yeah, I mean it's it's football, man.

869
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 5: It's it's you're gonna have games where it doesn't all

870
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 5: go as plan. I mean, as Detroit they played the

871
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 5: Ravens that it didn't go as plan. It's it's sometimes

872
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 5: it happens. You gotta keep pushing through it.

873
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 4: You know, guys may not be feeling great, but no

874
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 4: one cares. We gotta go out there and play. So

875
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 4: it it, it is what it is. How much you

876
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 4: come up? How about this push job? I love playing.

877
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 4: I mean I love I love the game. I love

878
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 4: everything about the game. I love the guys that I'm

879
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 4: playing with.

880
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 5: So it's easy to go out there and compete and

881
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 5: and love to love to win, love what I do.

882
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 4: I'm in here really excited to go every week. So yeah,

883
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 4: you been like that in every sport, right? Yeah? I was.

884
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 4: I just yeah, every sport.

885
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 5: Man played every sport growing up, love playing just sports

886
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 5: in general.

887
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 4: Grew up with a sister, we competed on everything growing up.

888
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 5: So I mean it was kind of since I since

889
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 5: I can remember, always been that way.

890
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: I'm just pre snapped me help you identify a chance

891
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: with Fionte and.

892
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 6: George, Like you guys used that even that to identify

893
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 6: spots and the.

894
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 5: Keep it so, yeah, it's big, you know, ships some

895
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 5: emotions you can help id some defense, do some mazed

896
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 5: looks where you know they give you a look that

897
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 5: looks like man they pop in the zone or vice versa.

898
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 5: So in this day and age with the NFL, that

899
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 5: people are doing some some good things that help you

900
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 5: identify man or zone. Sometimes they throw some some curve

901
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 5: balls in there that kind of mess with you a

902
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 5: little bit, but it all depends on the game plan.

903
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 5: I don't really think you guys are using that for

904
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 5: right now to help to help us helping things.

905
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 4: You feel like we've been using it, you know, a

906
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 4: decent amount, Like I don't. I don't know the percentages

907
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 4: of what it's been, but something that we're gonna continue

908
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 4: to do.

909
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: I don't want to have to work with gender here,

910
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 2: but I can't think about every ones like you have

911
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 2: to make it a general point of emphasis to evolve

912
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: the tight ends even while the departments down.

913
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 4: You have to leave those guys in where.

914
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 2: Your ball pass down.

915
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think It's.

916
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 5: That's all game plan related and what we see, what

917
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 5: we think we can get them on, what we what

918
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 5: we don't think will work.

919
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 4: We wanna get everyone touches. Obviously, we have talented guys everywhere.

920
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 5: We know what we have on the outside of you know,

921
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 5: Connor and and.

922
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 4: Uh Darnelle do a great job as well.

923
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 5: Ronnie's getting up and he's doing some good things too.

924
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 5: So a lot of guys that can help us. We

925
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 5: just gotta figure out, you know, what spots they need

926
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 5: to give hit. Don't you feel like you've kind of

927
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 5: good in mixed with jalen Mi Naji and then how much.

928
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 4: Have they have kind of winning?

929
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's awesome that have two guys you know that

930
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 5: run the ball really well and they do great things

931
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 5: in the past game and the protection game. You know,

932
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 5: both ran the ball well in the really well in

933
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 5: that fourth quarter. I think that's what propelled us to

934
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 5: having that balance attack and being able to put some

935
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 5: yards of points on the board.

936
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 4: Can they have a pot in these next three weeks?

937
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 4: Then when you got him at home and you know,

938
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 4: when you haven't really played maybe your.

939
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 5: Fast yet and if you're still start did in the

940
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 5: mix huge huge.

941
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,239

953
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 6: and off the field.

954
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 2: As you guys are trying to figure things out on

955
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 2: offense and stuff, that he helps you and other guys

956
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 2: step up.

957
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's judice and energy.

958
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 5: The guy shows up to work, he shows up to

959
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 5: play and runs hard.

960
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 4: I know when I hand it off to him, he's

961
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 4: gonna go do.

962
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 5: Whatever he can to get as many yards or put

963
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 5: points up.

964
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 4: And there's no doubt about that. So love having twenty

965
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 4: two back there, same with thirty.

966
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 5: Hopefully we get at Mac back somehow whatever point in

967
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 5: this season.

968
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's gonna have a room like that with

969
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 4: him leading the way.

970
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 6: Kenny, why is Jacksonville defense been susceptible giving up a

971
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 6: ton of passing yards, especially like the last three games.

972
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 5: I think structurally they're bill to stop the run. I

973
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 5: don't think they give up too many explosive plays. Then

974
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 5: they get did do a good job of keeping a

975
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 5: lid on the defense, but there's some underneath stuff that

976
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 5: they'll kind of they'll give you here or there, whatever

977
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 5: the to be. But a really good team. Noah safety Elers.

978
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 5: I played at Turkey, they played at Turkeys.

979
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 4: I played against him. He's a great player. Corners do

980
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 4: a great job.

981
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 5: So it's it's gonna be another tough task.

982
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 4: You know.

983
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 5: Linebackers running tackle, well, they got a lot of speed.

984
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 5: So I do a lot of good things. We just gotta,

985
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 5: you know, play our best before, put our best game

986
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 5: plan together and go.

987
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 4: Out there and do it.

988
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 5: And yeah, I met him at the Manning camp. Obviously,

989
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 5: played against him once.

990
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 4: In a while.

991
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 5: We'll see each other, say what's up. But a great guy,

992
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 5: great player, great competitor. Played against him in college, So
