00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 3: I am Dale LOLLI he is the Matt Williamson and

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 3: Matt with the weird scheduling this week with Thursday game,

7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 3: three Saturday games and your Sunday games and Monday games.

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: I thought we'd do a full week starting tonight and

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: taking it through Monday DFS lineup for the Fantasy Football segment,

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: so we have it allows us to talk about a

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: bunch of different players as opposed to just playing tonight's

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 3: game or something like that.

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: There's already four teams that are substantial that are off

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: the dock.

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we'll do tomorrow. We'll just do a Monday

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: a Sunday Monday DFS lineup, so we'll have two different lineups.

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine.

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: So anyway, so let's look at the lineups this week.

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 3: So you get the Bills start with the defenses, as

20
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: we always do. The Bills at thirty six hundred against

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: the Jets.

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm paying up for that. I don't

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: like the way their defense played lately.

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: You get the Colts against the Giants at thirty five hundred.

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: That's not bad.

26
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: The Chargers against the UH Patriots at thirty four hundred,

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: Buccaneers against Carolina at thirty four hundred, Vikings against the

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: Packers at thirty three hundred, Lions against San Francisco at

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: thirty three hundred, Dolphins against Cleveland at thirty two hundred.

30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: In quarterback in Cleveland, I don't think it's going to

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: be dtr.

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: I think it's probably Winston.

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting, that's interesting. Yeah, Dolphins on the road though,

34
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: Rams at home against Arizona thirty two hundred.

35
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: As you said, the tackle they don't have it, yeah,

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: kind of Connors very questionable. Yeah, this still really I mean,

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: unfortunately it's superwl weak for everybody. But right there's a

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: lot of big dogs getting shut down. There's a lot

39
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 2: of questionables. Who's gonna play, you know.

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: The Commanders at home against the Falcons are thirty one hundred,

41
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: The Eagles against Dallas thirty one hundred, Jaguars against the

42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 3: Titans are three thousand. Seahawks tonight against Chicago or three thousand.

43
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: The Bengals against Denver are three thousand.

44
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: Saints.

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: Why would the Bengals defense be more expensive than Denver's

46
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: defense in that game.

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: I was thinking of the same thing. Aha, just say,

48
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: what's Denver is gonna be? Denver's is really good, but

49
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: they're putting up points. They're putting up points, but you're

50
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: still gonna get sacks and yeah, things of that nature.

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: I mean, Denver's got a good D.

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 3: The Saints against Las Vegas are twenty nine hundred. I'd

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 3: rather play Las Vegas.

54
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: DA me too. Yeah, what's that one.

55
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: Broncos against the Bengals on the other side of that

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: are twenty eight hundred.

57
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: They're not too far off.

58
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 3: The Titans against Jacksonville are twenty eight hundred. The Bears

59
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: tonight against Seattle or twenty eight hundred.

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: We definitely go cheap. There's a bunch of these that

61
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: aren't bad.

62
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: The Bears defense is number one in the league against

63
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: opposing quarterbacks. They do not give up anything through the air.

64
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: You can run against them, yeah, yeah, but you can't

65
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: pass the ball necessarily against him, And I don't see

66
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: Seattle's offensive line is all kinds of banged up.

67
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: It is. Bearsd hasn't been great lately, but that's a

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: good point. You're at home. Yeah, on a short week,

69
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: could be kind of a nasty field too, Who knows,

70
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 2: I don't know what to what we're kind of weather,

71
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: we're ex back in the night. But I don't hate that.

72
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 3: The Packers on the other side of that game against

73
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: Minnesota are twenty seven hundred.

74
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: He's been playing well, but I could see a lot.

75
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: Of points not against it. Yeah, they've been playing guard matship.

76
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: Falcons against Washington are twenty seven hundred. The Raiders against

77
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: the Saints wants to Move are twenty six hundred dollars.

78
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: I really don't even care who the defense is, like

79
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: a Kouspov's playing the Giants and Saints.

80
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: Saints aren't breaking twenty points in that game.

81
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: Though, I mean, I don't care the Crosby doesn't play,

82
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: that's a good one. Yeah.

83
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: Now it's in New Orleans, I guess you know.

84
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: I know, but the fans could turn on him too.

85
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: You could also start the Cowboys defense against Kenny Pickett.

86
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: Five hundred dollars might even be McKee, right. I mean,

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: if it's hurts, I think you get out of it.

88
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: It's not bad like it's cheap. Yeah, I think I

89
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: like the going against I think I take the Raiders.

90
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't. I don't have a problem with that.

91
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 2: I mean, Sam, I would definitely go cheaper ones.

92
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it doesn't make a lot of sense

93
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: to pay up because some of the teams that you're

94
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: paying up for are bad defenses, like Colts.

95
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah right, and they're on the road, and yeah, so

96
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: why not the Raiders. Yeah, it's good, spy not they're

97
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: playing hard, they won last week. Get to play the Saints.

98
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: You get to play the Saints. That's the big thing.

99
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 3: At quarterback, you wanna go quarterback or tight end?

100
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: All right? Quarterbacks? Fine, all right.

101
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: Josh Allen is eighty five hundred against the Jets. Could

102
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: be the last time you get to see him this year.

103
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: They're at home.

104
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fighting an injury though.

105
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: J Jade and Daniels seventy eight hundred. Jalen hurts his

106
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: questionable seventy five hundred, Joe Burrow seventy two hundred. Denver's

107
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 3: fifth against opposing quarterbacks and they get Riley Moss's back

108
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: at corner.

109
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's big. Baker Mayfield against Carolina sixty nine hundred.

110
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: You need to win that game.

111
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 2: Jared Goff sixty eight hundred, Sam Darnold sixty four hundred,

112
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: Rock Perty sixty three hundred, Bo Knicks sixty two hundred

113
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: against that Bengals defense. I mean you've probably got to

114
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: throw to keep up too.

115
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jordan, and he's gonna run like that's not bad

116
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: Jordan Love sixty two hundred.

117
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: That game could be a shootout. Yeah, I think it

118
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: will be.

119
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray six thousand.

120
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: I think they're my favorite too so far, Nickson Love.

121
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson fifty nine hundred, Justin Herbert fifty nine hundred

122
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: to Attago Vailoa fifty eight hundred, Drake May fifty eight

123
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 3: hundred against the Chargers, Matthew Stafford fifty seven hundred, Aaron

124
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: Rodgers fifty seven hundred, Caleb Williams fifty seven hundred dollars.

125
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: They are he hasn't turned the ball over. No, he's

126
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: got weapons and they can't run the football. No, it's

127
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 2: not a bad defense he's playing. But he says a

128
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 2: pretty well, yeah, they get weapons cheap runs like that's

129
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: way cheap. Do you like him better than Nix? And

130
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: I forget who's right now? Love, I might like those

131
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: guys a little bit more but for the Buck, but

132
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: for the Bock, I mean, Caleb Williams, is he stills

133
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: a lot to prove Keithan Allen's playing well? What man? Yeah?

134
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 2: Bryce Young at fifty six hundred even cheaper against Tampa Bay. Yeah,

135
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: like they just played a few weeks ago.

136
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: Bryce Young against Tampa Bay put up twenty three point

137
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: sixty two Fantasy points.

138
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: He's been productive. He had two hundred and ninety eight

139
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: passing yards in a touchdown and ran three times for

140
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: seventeen yards in a touchdowns. Running three or four times

141
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: a game, give or take.

142
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's run the ball actually more than

143
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 3: that recently. Do you like him more than five three

144
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: seven three three?

145
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't hate it. Yeah, I mean you know,

146
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: for the Buck, you're the Bucks have to be low

147
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: against quarterbacks. Yeah, they're going to put up points. Williams

148
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: and Young are going to put up points in those games.

149
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: I agree. I agree? Which one? Do you know? All

150
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: the bad weapons? Maybe just because the cheaper one, so

151
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: Bryce Young. I think we'd be starting Bryce Young at

152
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: this point right there for Christmas.

153
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: But again, I think I think when you look at

154
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: his production over the last what five six weeks twenty

155
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: seven point one two fifteen point nine. I guess he

156
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: had a couple of talents.

157
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: He's more roller coaster than you might think, but you

158
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: would think his wheels would keep him his floor a

159
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: little higher. But I think I might like Caleb Williams

160
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: a little bit more just because of that. Okay, Well,

161
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: he's a little bit roller coaster to a little bit.

162
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess, but his his roller coaster is on

163
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: the road though. Yeah, Bryce Young at home has been

164
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: see his last several home games twenty six point seven

165
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: to six.

166
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: You're talking about Williams are young.

167
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: This is Williams twenty seven point seven to six against Detroit.

168
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: They played Minnesota at home, he had twenty nine point nine.

169
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: They played Green Bay at home. Well, that's his low

170
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: point twenty six or sixteen point twenty four.

171
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: Let's put him man. Yeah, I think I think the

172
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: floor at home for him, there's a big difference there.

173
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: For whatever reason, they're so horrendous, they're a definite team.

174
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: That home road splits her something to be aware of. Okay,

175
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: so running back, let's go tight end. We got the

176
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: standalone here. Brock Bauer sixty seven hundred. I think they're

177
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: trying to get him. Yeah, I think they're trying to

178
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 2: get the ball. Trey McBride is so he didn't play bad. No,

179
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: he's right, he's fine. We never got to him. They're

186
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,320

191
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: Craft's a good player. Yeah. I always hesitate to jump

192
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: on their pass catchers for dfs because.

193
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: There's too many, right, too many. There's a name on

194
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: here that I want to get to. Kyle Pitts is

195
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,360

Speaker 3: has over twenty targets the last two weeks.

199
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he should not be that low.

00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 3: He should He has twenty one targets. He has one

201

Speaker 3: two games.

203
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: Let's fire him up. I mean, I bet he's super chalky,

204
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 2: but I'd rather have the lineup right, right, Yeah, when

205
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: it's that chalky. Yeah, yeah, at thirty six hundred, that

206
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 2: really I liked him as a Receiver's been some inconsistencies,

207
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: but I like to play.

208
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: Playing the Jaguars and Madson Rudolph starting, and the Jaguars

209
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: embarrassed them at home a couple of weeks ago.

210
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: Jags back seven is not good against past.

211
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, running back. You're looking at Saquon Barkley at eighty

212
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: six hundred against Dallas.

213
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: Consider it, and yeah, I don't love it. If it's

214
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: McKee or picket though, that's the problem, right, I mean,

215
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: it helps your touch push and short touchdown.

216
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna get the touchdowns. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jamiir

217
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: Gibbs is eighty five hundred.

218
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: I get that one hundred percent too and would have

219
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: a problem with it.

220
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,319

221
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,480

229
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: love that one. Chase Brown against Denver seventy six hundred.

230
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,520

231
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: They're actually sixteenth against running really. Yeah, it's not mean.

232
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: His usage is almost insane. I mean it's way higher

233
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: than any other back in the league. Kyron Williams against

234
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: Arizona seventy five hundred. They're twenty six against opposing running Wow.

235
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: He should be more expensive than that. Yeah, I mean

236
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: he gets all the touches. Yeah, doesn't get a lot

237
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: of carry or catches. But that's right.

238
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,360

240

Speaker 3: Bay needs to win the game.

245
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 2: I would have a hard time not putting him in

246
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: the line.

247
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he just he might be chalky too.

248
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: Sure everybody against Carolina in the running back position.

249
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: Is going to be chalky, right, I must win type

250
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 2: of situation. That's your best guy. I'd rather he run

251
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: the ball, really, rather have him than not.

252
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,400

Speaker 3: are thirty first against the run.

255
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 2: I'd rather look at Spears.

256
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: Breese Hall sixty three hundred, Buffalo thirtieth against opposing running backs.

257
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: I wonder what's his snapcounts? Ben, I don't think they've

258
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 2: been low. No he played or anything.

259
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: No, I think they might want to get into without

260
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: He had fourteen for fifty two. Last week he had

261
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: five catches on six targets for thirty eight. So he's

262
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: getting the ball, Yeah, twenty times a game. The week

263
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 3: before that they were he was banged up.

264
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: Injury.

265
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the catches are you know, you go back

266
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: to the Colts game, seven targets, seven catches, four targets,

267
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: four k He just it's pretty consistent.

268
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

269
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: Aaron Jones is sixty two hundred, Brian Robinson is sixty

270
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: one hundred. Kenneth Walker's on IR it doesn't matter.

271
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that just happened.

272
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: Rico dal Dell six thousand, phillies second against the run.

273
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:45,320

274
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: they're twenty eighth against opposing running backs. I said, that's

275
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: their Walker's out. He's a very run funnel team.

276
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: I think that's the move.

277
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 3: All right, So we got the quarterback and the running

278
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 3: back from the other team in tonight's game.

279
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: Okay, so yeah, it is what it is.

280
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: Okay, let's move on to wide receiver. We can average.

281
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: Sixty three fifty here the rest of the way, so

282
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: we can still pay up for a wide receiver if

283
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: we want.

284
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase is eighty four hundred.

285
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: I don't like he'll get certain.

286

Speaker 3: I assume he gets a certained for they gets.

287
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: Doubled and certained.

288
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,760

314
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,720

Speaker 3: as his Judy Courtland. Sutton against Cincinnati sixty three hundred.

316
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: Wow, I like that a lot. I don't see right,

317
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: we considered Nicks. I mean that the balls go to Sutton,

318
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: that's where they go. Yeah, yeah, I like that a lot. Yeah.

319
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: I'm plugging it in at sixty three. That's too good

320
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: to be true.

321
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,840

Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson against Buffalo sixty one hundred.

327
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: He's been complaining lately, squeaky wheel. Yeah, yeah, squeaky wheel.

328
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: That seems cheap for him anyways.

329
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, he hasn't been getting the ball they threw

330
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: to him in garbage time less way, I think he

331
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: gets the ball this week.

332
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it. Yeah, he's an easy one to

333
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: convince me on. I love the player.

334
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: Jamison Williams is six thousand.

335
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: He's been pretty good lately too.

336
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: Jacobe Myers against the Saints is six thousand. They're twenty

337
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: fifth against the pass.

338
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure they are.

339
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:44,360

Speaker 3: opposing wide receivers.

342
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 2: One of their receivers out I think is that Watt

343
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: Watson is out out? Okay, Yeah, that clear things up

344
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: a little. Yeah. I don't mind Reid, I don't mind Myers.

345
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: DJ Moore could be our stack tonight. Fifty nine hundred.

346
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 2: BacT. You haven't mentioned Keenan Allen. He's been on fire. Yeah.

00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 3: Juwan Jennings is fifty eight hundred.

348

00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: That's a nice stack, and we have seventy two hundred left.

353
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: I wouldn't even mind going Dj Moore with the stack

354
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 3: in that.

355
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 2: For the third receiver as our flex, or we could

356
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 2: we could pay up with for our flex, we can

357
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: get James Cook, Terry McLaurin, DeVante, Adams, Chuba Hubbard, Tyreek Hill,

358
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: these guys off, they're all questionable. I don't like that. Neighborhood.

359
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we may be able to pay up a defensive.

360
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to pivot off Jig. I don't either.

361
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 3: We could pay up a quarterback, but we've already.

362
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: Put keenan Allen, Yeah, stacked nice back. There is there

363
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: a running back or receiver we could upgrade too. I

364
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: like the Bucky Irving, Yeah, call you know. I like

365
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 2: Charbonne Tonight against like both of those. So we're let

366
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: me regress here. We have one spot for amount of

367
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 2: money that we don't love the flex for right, let

368
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 2: me get so we could go brock Bowers at sixty

369
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: seven hundred as a flex. As a flex, we.

370
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 3: Can get neighbors. We can get lab mconkie, Cooper, cup Pollard.

371
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 2: Do you prefer neighbors or McConkie, London, brist Hall Bad,

372
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: Jordan Addison, Brian Robinson, Neighbors and mconkie kind of stand

373
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: out to me. There's not much target competition for those guys.

374
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: Is what is DJ Moore done? He had seven for

375
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 2: sixty eight last time out. He had on ten targets

376
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: his last five games ten targets, eight targets, eight targets,

377
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 2: sixteen targets, seven targets. He has seven seven, eight, six,

378
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 2: eight seven.

379
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: In terms of catches now, the yardage totals once in

380
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 3: a while sixty eight, forty six, forty nine, ninety seven

381
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 3: to one oh six. But he scored two touchdowns in

382
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 3: that stretch as well, and we got the quarterback in

383
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 3: the lineup.

384
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: I don't mind being double set. Yeah, they can't run

385
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: the football. No, I don't think they're going to run

386
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: the football against Seattle. I think they want to develop

387
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: Williams too and get him as comfortable as possible.

388
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 3: So if we go, if we do that, then we

389
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 3: have thirteen hundred left over. We want to pay up

390
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: a defense. We can go get the Bills defense against

391
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: the Jets. We can get the Colts against the Giants.

392
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: I think I prefer the Colts the Chargers against the Patriots.

393
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: It's not bad either. It's in New England, but yeah,

394
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 2: not bad.

395
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: Should be sacks, should be sacks.

396
00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: I'd say Chargers of Colts. M who's the Giants starters

397
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: at lock still? Man, I know he's hurt, he's horrible. Yeah,

398
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: he's hurt and he's horrible. Yeah.

399
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 3: Other than that, he's Yeah. The defense, I mean, I

400
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 3: like the Chargers defense better than the Colts defense by.

401
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: A long storm thousand. They're both pretty bad offense.

402
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 3: And for the Patriots to win, they're going to run

403
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 3: the ball. Whi's going to keep the score down.

404
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Romandre fumbles a lot. Romandre fumbles a lot. Let's

405
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 2: do Chargers.

406
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 3: Okay, that still leaves us with five hundred leftover? Or

407
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 3: do we want to try to pay up?

408
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: Let me let me tex check defense. Let me check

409
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: one thing.

410
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: You're Raiders back in if we pay up on Courtland Sutton,

411
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 3: he was our most expensive receiver. It's sixty get a

412
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: real base. We can get Mike Evans at seventy five hundred.

413
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 2: That's a move. I don't love the It's fine moving

414
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 2: up on the defense. If anything that Gain does does

415
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: on yeah, yeah, I'll be talking about the difference of

416
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 2: maybe two points. Mike Evans is on that thousand yard crusade.

417
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 3: I don't know how close he is, but they got

418
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: two games left and he's got.

419
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 2: I think he's in striking distance.

420
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 3: He has, yeah, eight hundred and eighteen yards. Yeah, he's

421
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 3: playing Mike Evans the ball. He is going to get

422
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: the foot.

423
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

424
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: That only leaves us to one hundred dollars left, I think.

425
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

426
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 3: So we got Caleb Williams at quarterback, win Tonight, Bucky

427
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: Irving and Zach Charbonnet at running back, Mike Evans, Garrett Wilson,

428
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen at wide receiver. That's two weeks in a

429
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: row we've had Mike Evans and Keenan Allen. Yeah, in

430
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 3: a lot they hit for us last week. Chicken klonk

431
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 3: Wo at the tight end position, thirty six hundred dollars,

432
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 3: DJ Moore in a flex at fifty nine hundred, and

433
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: the Raiders defense at twenty six hundred.

434
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: Play in the Saints, play in the Saints. Yeah, there

435
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: you go. Yeah, I like it, locking it in, locking

00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 2: it in, and we are in there, we go, all right,

437
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,960

00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: Like don't always dance with U Brunya. You gotta be

442

Speaker 2: able to some of the stars we're playing this week.

443
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: I picked up Chicken quonquoll. Yeah. I don't blame me.

444
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: It's a good move.

445
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,239
Speaker 3: I mean he's getting the ball a lot, Yeah, so

446
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 3: why not take the targets. But anyways, let's get to

00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Drive on the Steelers Audio Network.

Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

451
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

Speaker 2: And we are back.

453
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: I am Dale LOLLI he is the Matt Williamson and

454
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 3: this is the Drive on the.

455
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: Steelers Audio Network. And Matt.

456
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 3: After yesterday's game, uh, the twenty nine to ten loss

457
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 3: to the Kansas City Chiefs, Mike Tomlin intimated that there

458
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: would be some changes. Yeah, they're doing how they're doing

459
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: and who they're doing it with. Nothing is off limits.

460
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 3: So I have some ideas on some things. I would do. Okay,

461
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 3: we'll go back and forth through. I'm gonna go first.

462
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: One thing I would do is I would strongly consider

463
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: putting Minka Fitzpatrick in the slot.

464
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: I was thinking that too. I love his usage as

465
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: a deep center fielder, but I think KZ can do it.

466
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: Yes, and we have I think KZ on the field

467
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 3: is better than what they're doing in the slot right now.

468
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. I would rather have KZ

469
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 2: out there, who's your best eleven KZ out there or

470
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: the slot situation which isn't pretty at the moment, and

471
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 2: make it close to the ball, you know, better run defender.

472
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 2: We've seen a lot more of him not in deep

473
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 2: middle of the last couple of games, and that's not

474
00:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: why they're losing foks.

475
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 3: No know, right, Like he's making plays all over the place.

476
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: I think that's a real good one. And then basically

477
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 2: make him the slot.

478
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, which he's when they're when they're in the base defense,

479
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 3: he's in deep center field.

480
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 2: He can be here. He's still he's a free safety.

481
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: When you go to when you're playing thirteen or eleven person,

482
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: I should say he's playing the slot. It's a good one, yeah,

483
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 2: I'm all for it.

484
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 3: I mean, to me, the slot has been a big problem,

485
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 3: huge problem, not just in in this recent stretch, but really.

486
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: In the weakest part of the defense since Week one. Yeah,

487
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: I mean, and which nobody was shocked about. You know,

488
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 2: throw an undrafted rookie out there from the beginning, hoping

489
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: Sutton's time comes. And it's doesn't look like that's a

490
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 2: successful plan at all, to say the least. I'm not

491
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: even sure if Someton will be in the league next year.

492
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 2: I mean, he doesn't run very well. Maybe you'll have

493
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 2: to be a safety, and is anyone going to do that?

494
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 3: And I'd rather put him at free safety and just

495
00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 3: and then the slot.

496
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 2: He might even be better at free safety than there's

497
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: a lot at this stage of the game. Yeah, communication

498
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 2: has been a problem with him. I like it. I'm

499
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: all for it. I would go with Warren as my

500
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: top back. Yeah, I mean, I think that one's the

501
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: low hanging fruit. I just think he's the better player,

502
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: fresher legs, more explosive, better receiver. Now it wouldn't be

503
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, that's not how that position works, but no,

504
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 2: it'd be a two to one ratio or seventy five

505
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 2: to twenty five at the very least sixty forty, which

506
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: is kind of what has been the last couple of

507
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: weeks just because of the way the game script is gone.

508
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: You can dismiss it because they're losing. He's a third

509
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: down back, and there's definitely some of that, but there's

510
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: also been instances where I think on first and ten

511
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 2: and neutral script, Nage you would have been out there

512
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 2: and isn't now.

513
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 3: You know, I did see this though today when I

514
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 3: was looking at some stuff. Warren didn't run into a

515
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 3: loaded box once yesterday.

516
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 2: Doesn't surprise me. I mean that whole is night and.

517
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 3: Day, whereas Nausea was like ten percent running into an

518
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 3: eight or nine man box. And that's kind of one

519
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: of the problems that how it's been this whole career

520
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 3: right now with nause is that when he is out there,

521
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: you're seeing single high and nine guys in the box. Yeah,

522
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: it's just it's just not setting up well for him

523
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 3: to run the football. I don't even mind putting him

524
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: out there on some third downs and it's third and

525
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 3: four and they're gonna they're gonna go to their nickel

526
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 3: or dime I'm gonna run nausey up the.

527
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 2: Middle because then he could play. He could stand up

528
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 2: in protection for blitz, or you could dump with him

529
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: on the screen. Yeah, or you know those type of

530
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 2: things too. Yeah, but I think on more neutral stuff,

531
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 2: I want more Warren for sure. I just think he's

532
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: a more effective player. Yeah, I think so as well.

533
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: I've always been a massive Warren fan. I don't know

534
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: what his workload threshold is. I don't think any of

535
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: us do, and it's a concern, but I think he's

536
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: your second best skill guy. Yeah, you know, it's your turn.

537
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: I don't really have another. I have some things i'd

538
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: consider or flirt with.

539
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, A lot of it depends on is Joey Porter

540
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 3: Junior back for the next game or not, and the

541
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: people out there saying Joey Joey Porter Junior doesn't Matt

542
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 3: oh or he stinks.

543
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: I think it's yeah, right right. I think it's similar

544
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 2: to Pickens versus the other receivers, I really do. I

545
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: think that Room is one guy in the Pips, you know,

546
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 2: I mean, and that includes Jackson. I've been down on

547
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: Jackson for a while. I mean, I think he's okay,

548
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: but he's better when Porter's out there. Yeah, I forget

549
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 2: who I was listening to, and I never thought of

550
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 2: this in my whole life, but certain Gardner Stingley, like,

551
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: I think most people consider them the top three corners

552
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: in the league. And I'm gonna say porters quite to

553
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 2: their level. But all those guys got so much better

554
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: when Reed, the Texans first pick in the second round,

555
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 2: just played really well. And the dude that comes back

556
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 2: for Denver like Moss Moss, Oh, I always forget his name,

557
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 2: But you don't think about second corners influence in number

558
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 2: one corners. But it is a lot more say than that,

559
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: you know, like if you need your Alvin Harper almost

560
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: you know that to be the stars compliment.

561
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 3: That's why I don't have a problem with Jackson. He

562
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 3: just can't be your number one guy.

563
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if Jackson's good enough to be that

564
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 2: too that I want, you know, that's all. I think.

565
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 2: You can do better. Yeah, you can do better there,

566
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: but what him being out is massive.

567
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 3: If Porter is back, would you consider playing Trice?

568
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I mean there's something especially in the

569
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: Bengals game. Yeah, Like that's a tough challenge if you

570
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: lose because of them, that's not great. Or if he

571
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: gets beat more than you like, that's not great. But

572
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: you might find something that you might find something out,

573
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, And that's a little bit of

574
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: the GM and me off season ahead. But I want

575
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: to know everything I can about Trice. I mean, Jackson

576
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 2: comes back or not. I don't think there's any way

577
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: that they go into camp saying Trice is definitely a starter,

578
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: but it might be Trice versus number two draft pick

579
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 2: for the starting job or you know what I mean,

580
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 2: and have a couple more offices more. That's something I

581
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: would consider. That's a good one.

582
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 3: But now you're moving multiple spots in your secondary.

583
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: But if Porter has to be healthy for that.

584
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Porter has to be healthy.

585
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know want to experiment with that like

586
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: first round of the playoffs. Yeah, so that would be

587
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: a one time thing and then go from there. And

588
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: if Trice won, I mean I wouldn't I don't know.

589
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: I don't know their practice schedule off the top of

590
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: my head before this weird week, but I would assume

591
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: he'll get a lot of run with the ones. If

592
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: Porter's on has been the first practice he has already,

593
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 2: now I will say this.

594
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: James Pierre started that game yesterday, and right after giving

595
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 3: up the touchdown to Christian Watson, he got yanked because

596
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: before that play was snapped, he's out there looking around

597
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 3: like I didn't know where to line up at.

598
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 2: There were some of that, and Pierre has value elsewhere.

599
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: But to me, Sutton and Pierre don't run well enough.

600
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: You know, like obviously a huge offseason priority. Let's get

601
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: faster on the back seven. Yeah, but maybe your fifth

602
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: corner doesn't fit that bill anymore. You know, that's who

603
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: you're playing with. Yeah, do you have any others? Nothing

604
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 2: like jumps out off the table.

605
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: I would not use Corderio Patterson as a running back anymore.

606
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 2: I wouldn't either. I definitely would.

607
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: Not, unless unless it's a situation like you saw in

608
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 3: Baltimore where I'm gonna throw him a pass against a

609
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 3: five ft ten linebackers.

610
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 2: He's not getting to carry carries in crucial moments. Ever. Again, probably,

611
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: I've been saying for a couple of weeks it's time

612
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: to streamline the skill position players. And that means less Patterson, less,

613
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: prough It less, maybe even Jefferson, you know, you know,

614
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: like if two receivers are out there. I want it

615
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 2: to be Austin and Pickens. Maybe Scronic would be my

616
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: third if everyone's healthy to I mean, over Jefferson and

617
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: the others, just because he has some nastiness and that

618
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: ord of thing. I'm not even saying yes to these.

619
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: I'm just saying the coaches should at least have a conversation,

620
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: you know, like this is, this is what's happening right

621
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: this week? Hey, what would you guys do? What?

622
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 3: What changes do you guys want to make?

623
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: If I'm coach, t like, just throw things out there.

624
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm not going to hold it against you. Just throw

625
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 2: things out. Let's talk about it all. Does Peyton Wilson

626
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 2: deserve more snaps? I'm not even saying get in the queens?

627
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: But is he ready to be my Patrick? Queen? And

628
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: queen be my Wilson? Seems premature, but I'm just again, I.

629
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: Can't make that change in a week, Just too big

630
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 3: of a change.

631
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: Healthy fields? Does he get ten snaps every game?

632
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 3: No matter what, He's got to be healthy first? And

633
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, he hasn't practiced practice.

634
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 2: In two weeks, right, I'm running out of ideas though,

635
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, I'm trying to think what

636
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: and frankly, we talked about this in the first hour.

637
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: The changes you see aren't going to be this guy's

638
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: on the bench, this guy got cut right, you know

639
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 2: what I mean. You're playing with your guys. You might

640
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 2: change the snapunce a little, or this guy doesn't play

641
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: a nickel anymore, or Minko's your slot. That's a great one,

642
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: but I think a lot of them will be procedural

643
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 2: or how we call this defense, or when you call

644
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 2: this sequencing, or maybe hey, Russ, I don't like the

645
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: changes you're making at the line of scrimmage, or we're

646
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 2: going to really stress getting the ball out in two

647
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: point five or less. Or they have a weird trend

648
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: that I don't love. And I'm an Arthur Smith guy,

649
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: but I think I've really started to pay attention to

650
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: it the last month. When they throw for a first down,

651
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: they almost automatically go to a run on first and

652
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: ten the next play, which I understand why, But these

653
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: teams are smart too.

654
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: They didn't do that against the Bengals. Against the Bengals, right,

655
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 3: and they have been throwing more on first down and

656
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: they have a strong tendency of complete a pass for

657
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: a first down, all right, because get back to the run.

658
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 3: But like it's like they put money in the bank

659
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: and they're, you know, living. Here's the thing about that

660
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 3: game yesterday. They had a sixty nine yard drive. They

661
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 3: had a seventy two yard drive twenty five yards at

662
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 3: h and they punted it from midfield, which that play

663
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 3: Pickens caught that caught the ball along the sideline short,

664
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: a short catch and the guy kind of stood him

665
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 3: up real quick. But Pickings is twisting around to come

666
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,719
Speaker 3: out of it. The other tackler comes in and knocks

667
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 3: they would be tackler off of him, and they blew

668
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 3: the whistle. Yeah, and he's running down the sideline. He

669
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: was not happy about it. It was going to be a touchdown.

670
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: It was going to be a touchdown. Yeap, it was.

671
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 2: And I don't kill the refs for that.

672
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 3: They don't blow the whistle when it's a running back

673
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: in those situations. They don't blow the whistle on a

674
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 3: tush push.

675
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 2: And they'll allow you to get there on the second halffort. Yeah,

676
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 2: Like they blew it too quickly on that one. They did.

677
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: They did, and it probably cost Seer's points or at

678
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: least a big, chunky.

679
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: Yard cost him the halftime lead.

680
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a big one. They would have led a

681
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: halftime in that game that was It would have been

682
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: fourteen thirteen at the half. That was an error. I mean,

683
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 2: there's no doubt about that. You mentioned the long drives.

684
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: We should have probably brought this up earlier in the

685
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: show the first segment, but gave too many short fields

686
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 2: against You can't do.

687
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 3: That, Yeah, and we should have Cordless. Cordless weight Man

688
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 3: had maybe his worst over all day. Yeah, kicking the ball.

689
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 3: That first one he kicked was the line drive one

690
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 3: looked like something I would have came no hangtime. But

691
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 3: even at that forty seven yards to open the second half,

692
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 3: they get a field goal out of that. Now they

693
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 3: had a three and out when they fumbled, then they

694
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 3: got thirty eight yards, turned the ball over on downs,

695
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 3: and then eighty five yards on the last one. They

696
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 3: were moving the ball reasonably, con I mean they it.

697
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 2: Wasn't three and out, three and out, three out, No,

698
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: not at all. I mean some of that stuff's been better,

699
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 2: and the running game to me, has been better. So

700
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: it's been a lot of mistakes and you can't make

701
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: the safe since these teams. Yeah, these teams are in

702
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 2: the sacks.

703
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 3: I mean, and when I'm looking at this, I'm watching, I.

704
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: Believe Wilson for the sacks more than I do the

705
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 2: as a whole.

706
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: I don't think it was a protection problem.

707
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 2: No.

708
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 3: I think in some cases, I don't know where the

709
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 3: prime I don't know who the primary receiver is in

710
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 3: certain situations. In some of those instances, but the primary

711
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 3: wasn't open and he didn't have time to get to

712
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 3: the second that you know, or for whatever reason, was

713
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 3: looking to get out of the pocket. Kansas City had

714
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 3: a nice plan against him.

715
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: They did. They did, and their pass rush is good,

716
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 2: but they didn't have Chris Jones, the defense coordinator is tremendous,

717
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: and they did. I think they brought a fair amount

718
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: of pressure in the game too.

719
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was actually beating if you saw the stats

720
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 3: at halftime, I think he was Like when they blitzed him,

721
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: he was like four for five for like seventy yards

722
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: against the blitz.

723
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 2: It was the other times teams are going to rush

724
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 2: him up the middle, though, I mean, like, yeah, they

725
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 2: kept harping on the broadcast, like the MA home scrambles

726
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: were always when the B gap would open. I'm dumb

727
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: gone like, but if if EAMs are not going to

728
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: let A and B gaps open, you know that at

729
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 2: this point. So maybe one of the adjustments that you

730
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 2: make is to get him on the move more often. Yeah,

731
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 2: it's a good conversation we had with Merrill. Two was

732
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 2: he I hate speaking for others like this because I'm

733
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: not going to phrase this one hundred percent right, but

734
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 2: he doesn't love Wilson sitting in the pocket tapping it

735
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 2: for three seconds. Yeah, because it's a sight. It encloses

736
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 2: on you. I mean, it's big bodies, there's trees falling

737
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 2: around you. But on the other hand, the way Merrill

738
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: phrased it was, but I love when he's play action

739
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: booting or you know, or something quick hitting play action,

740
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: and you need your running game to have some substance

741
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: to run. It's been really a problem. They had the

742
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 2: running game against Baltimore. Yeah, they ran the ball effectively

743
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: against the Ravens. I think that was my team wide

744
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: biggest concern going into the Baltimore game. Like, I kept

745
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 2: saying three nine per carry and couldn't cut it. It's

746
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 2: got to be four to three ish, four to four. Well,

747
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 2: that's gotten a little better. I mean, I think it

748
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 2: was like four to seven against the Ravens. Yeah, and

749
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 2: it was good even before nause He's ripping off runs

750
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: against backups in the end. But it was six point five.

751
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 3: I mean, Warren was six point five Wilson when.

752
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 2: He he was like that the way six for fifty

753
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 2: five runnings helpful. Yeah, you know, I'm just smart.

754
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 3: You know you're not gonna get the first down.

755
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, obviously on fumble, but it was.

756
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 3: Six for fifty five and he had a one yard

757
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 3: touchdown run. He was getting ten yards of chunk.

758
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, he was smart about it. Yeah. I mean,

759
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: I think he's more apt to take off him go too.

760
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 3: So, you know, I think the running game is is

761
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 3: something that's going to I.

762
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 2: Think the air was actually pointing up with the running game. Yeah.

763
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 3: So, but I mean, I think they do need to

764
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 3: get him, even if it's just a little bit of

765
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: pocket movement, just to get him out away from the

766
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 3: middle of that pocket, because that's where the problems are coming.

767
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: Spot and it really is a hard time see in

768
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 2: the middle of the field.

769
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 3: His his arm is strong enough that you know, even

770
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 3: if you roll him out a quarter of the way

771
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: he can still make throat to the other side of

772
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 3: the field.

773
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean you're.

774
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 3: Not you're not narrowing things down to just half.

775
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 2: Its total halfield read or those type of things. I

776
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:08,479
Speaker 2: don't have any other like wholesale changes. I mean, you'd

777
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: have to be in the building for what we have

778
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: a hard time getting these plays in or this communication

779
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 2: or man, this guy's not adjusting to this route or whatever.

780
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 2: I mean, really minusia, you know type things you'd have

781
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 2: to be real detail, not minusia, but like deep in

782
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 2: the weeds. But I bet some of that stuff's problematic

783
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 2: right now. And to your earlier point, it's harder to

784
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 2: work on those finer things. Three games eleven days, right.

785
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: I know this is a problem. I just don't know

786
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 2: how to get it fixed because I don't make time. Yeah,

787
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 2: doesn't mean we'll get it fixed, but you at least

788
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: have a better chance of correcting that attacking the problem.

789
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 3: I saw the frustration there yesterday with they had gotten

790
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys back on the defensive back end,

791
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: and you're still seeing the communication issues. And I think

792
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 3: that's where Elliott was going with like, hey, we get

793
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 3: the same guys out here.

794
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: Now he seemed very frustrated. Yeah, in his job. He

795
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 2: actually said these are week one and two problems that

796
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 2: week seventeen. Yeah, yehs got a new dude, right, Yeah,

797
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 2: guys who played a lot of snaps. Yeah.

798
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 3: So that's that's where they're at right now. Let's we'll

799
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 3: see if they got the you know, a full week

800
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 3: of practice to prepare for the Cincinnati Bengals, prepare for

801
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 3: the playoffs, and prepare for the playoffs. You got a

802
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 3: couple of weeks get prepared for that. So you get

803
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks, you know, if you want to

804
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 3: make some changes, adjustments, whatever you want to call them,

805
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 3: you have time to do that.

806
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 2: I like the make of one a lot. The slot's

807
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: been a bunch.

808
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 3: Of that's that's to me, should be issue number one

809
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 3: that get solved. Yeah, And that's the way to say,

810
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 3: I understand you. You hate having him minky, we got

811
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 3: a problem here. You got to go there, Manca, we

812
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 3: have a problem there. You got to go there, which

813
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: is kind of what they've done with him the last

814
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 3: couple of years.

815
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: But he's a good player that you one of the

816
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 2: one of, if not the best center field or in

817
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 2: the league. You know, you don't ask that guy to

818
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 2: play second base, but sometimes sometimes you have to feel

819
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: on the second baseman, you dude, Yeah right, that's the

820
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 2: way it goes.

821
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's get to a break. He is the Matt Williamson.

822
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 3: I am Dale Lolly. You're listening to the Drive here

823
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 3: on the Steelers Audio Network. Matt and I'll be back

824
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 3: to finish up the show right after this.

825
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: At least.

826
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

827
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

828

Speaker 3: And we are back. I am Dale Lolly. He is

830
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 3: the Matt Williamson and Matt last week, I last week.

831
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 2: All the days are running together. Could have been two

832
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 2: days ago.

833
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 3: Could have been two days ago. I believe it was

834
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 3: last week. I don't know. But we had the conversation,

835
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 3: you know what, was before the Houston game because we

836
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 3: hadn't gotten to see Mahomes play yet. Yeah, and I

837
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 3: said I would rather face an injured Mahomes or face

838
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 3: a Yeah, an injured Mahomes than a healthy Carson Wentz.

839
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 2: Yes.

840
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 3: Now, as I said when I said that, it would

841
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 3: depend on how injured Mahomes, was it too bad?

842
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 2: You didn't look too banged up either one of those games. No.

843
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 2: I mean he's scrambling, he's getting the Yeah, you know

844
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: they have that metric. You got to fifteen miles an

845
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 2: hour twice against Houston already, and he's moving fine.

846
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I took a lot of gruff guph for that,

847
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: and I understand it.

848
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 2: I mean, but bring sometimes you bring stuff up on

849
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: the show to have a conversation. Of course, that's the

850
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: way this works, right, And an injured Mahomes versus a

851
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 2: healthy former guy guy who was a former good player

852
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 2: in the running for the MVP Award. It was a conversation.

853
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 3: I also didn't know how healthy at that time Mahomes was.

854
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 3: He looks completely healthy right now. Yeah, No, I he

855
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 3: doesn't feel completely healthy.

856
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 2: At the time. It looked kind of critical for him,

857
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, in terms of most people don't get

858
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: up and walk around a week later, walk around a

859
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 2: week later after taking the hit that he took. Yeah,

860
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: and he's had a lot of ankle stuff and it

861
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 2: was dealt with him over the years, but seems to

862
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 2: be dealing with it quite well. He must spectacular.

863
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was fantastic and again just diagnosing the mental stuff.

864
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he throws, but the mental stuff was great.

865
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 3: And was able at times like manipulated cornerbacks or linebackers

866
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 3: or whoever with his eyes. There were several times where

867
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 3: it looked like he was going to throw that quick

868
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 3: screen pass, you know, the quick bubble screen and even

869
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 3: fake it and t J. Watt would jump in the

870
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 3: air or whoever was coming in would jump in the

871
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 3: air and boom, hit the guy in the slant behind him, like.

872
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 2: Moving safeties with his eyes. Next level stuff, it's next levels.

873
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 2: It's elite stuff. Yeah, it's rare stuff. Right. He was

874
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 2: great yesterday. He was great, and that gives them a

875
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 2: chance to win it at a third one. You know,

876
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 2: there's no doubt about it. He is a special, special dude.

877
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 2: And even Kelsey, you know, like he is a move

878
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 2: like he used to and congrats to him. By the way,

879
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 2: a thousand catches is awesome and most touchdowns in Chief's

880
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 2: history in the same day. Good for you. That's awesome.

881
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 3: You know, it sucks that he passed hinz word.

882
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: Oh Yeahsburgh, Yeah, yeah, I forgot about that part. I

883
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 2: was thinking more of the Chiefs angle. It all, but

884
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 2: like he has such a good feel for I know

885
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 2: this is the zone they're playing. I'm just gonna drift

886
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: ever so slightly that you know, give us help when

887
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 2: you actually cover him. That's the thing. And that's I

888
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 2: keep talking about this Meryl conversation because we just had

889
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 2: it today. He had a real problem with a lot

890
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 2: of those guys just dropping to their spot as opposed

891
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 2: to being football players or showing instincts or whatever, because

892
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 2: no one's better at being football players. Are showing instincts

893
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 2: than Mahomes of Kelsey. A lot of improv stuff. And

894
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 2: we know this is cover two and you're supposed to

895
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 2: go here, but you're more open if you're just two

896
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: steps to the right, you know, and you gotta adjust quick,

897
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 2: gotta play the game. Yeah, that ball's coming out, Yeah

898
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 2: it was coming out quickly, unbelievably faster. I you know,

899
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: initially was that makes a tackle problem a lot easier

900
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: for right, So you're going to see that. That's how

901
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 2: they're gonna play in way, it doesn't matter who they play.

902
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 2: Ye And again, if the Steelers had Mel Blutt and

903
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 2: Rod Woodson out there, you'd press those dudes and beat

904
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 2: them up. But Without Porter, you can't do it. You

905
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 2: can't do it right. You're really shorthanded. But it's a

906
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 2: great game plan and that's all they're gonna play.

907
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, but one way moving forward to fix that would

908
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 3: be make it just a lot start yea, with Porter

909
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 3: out there. Now I can Now I can press some dudes, now,

910
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 3: I can, you know, get up in some passing lanes

911
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 3: and do some stuff.

912
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 2: And some things we haven't seen a ton of too.

913
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 2: Is they've been really successful over the years. Those corner

914
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 2: blitzeres get home quick. I mean not two point one

915
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:30,439
Speaker 2: seconds quick. But you know, Hilton used to get im

916
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 2: media pressure a lot. Sometimes you'd run into a tackle

917
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: and not get home. But let's let's make out of this.

918
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 3: Lot even a game even some you know, linebacker Blitzer

919
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 3: up the middle and things of that nature. I know

920
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 3: their interior line is good.

921
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 2: But sure, sure you got to mix it up. You

922
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 2: got to mix it up, and you gotta you gotta

923
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 2: make them. I even think about games going forward, you know,

924
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 2: more so than what you just dealt with.

925
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 3: Is well things stand up now as things currently sit.

926
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 3: If the Steelers would play the Texans in the opening

927
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 3: round of the playoffs, the winner of that game would

928
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 3: go to Kansas City, right, Kansas City, So you might

929
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 3: have to deal with that again. I'm pretty quickly. And

930
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 3: so you learned some lessons in that game yesterday.

931
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 2: That's what you're hoping for.

932
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 3: That's what you want. That's what Steeler fans should want.

933
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 3: You want the rematch with the Chiefs. It may not

934
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 3: be the most appealing thing in the world, but you

935
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 3: just played them.

936
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 2: No one's going to give you a playoff wins left

937
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 2: and right. No, it's you get a playoff playoff them right,

938
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 2: start with number one. Yeah, get the first one and

939
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: then go from there. Yeah. And that seems like a

940
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 2: way is a way too, and it is good.

941
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you get some time in between that to

942
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 3: fix some stuff and we'll see what the Steelers come

943
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,560
