1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on Home of the Black and Goal,

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radios, Steelers getting ready to play the Chiefs

3
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night, and matt Um when we last when

4
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: we saw T. J. Watt at Narrowhead Stadium back in

5
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: week sixteen, he was not anywhere close to not that

6
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: anybody is at this point. He played the snaps um,

7
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: he was gotten it out. He was gotting it out

8
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: until the game got out of hand and then that

9
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: was it. He they they got him out of there,

10
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: um real quick. I think that it's really easy to

11
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: reference a recent game, but they didn't have Kelsey Tyrek,

12
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: was you sparingly coming off covid friar Muth didn't play

13
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: right and what was a shellow himselves And it's probably

14
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: others too, like and now Juju might be in the mix.

15
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: Like it's not quite the same. It's not just running back,

16
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: it's start just running back. It's it's it's you know,

17
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of a reset. One thing it is a

18
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: little different here is that it's give me Andrew Wiley

19
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: right tackle. Yea. Andrew Wiley was one of those five

20
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: offensive lineman the Chiefs started in the Super Bowl last year.

21
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: He's one of the carryovers. They don't want to start that,

22
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: they don't want to have to start, and now you're

23
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: starting him opposite the best pass rusher in the NFL. Yeah,

24
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: I think that's a massive it's a huge issue for

25
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, without question. Um. Frankly, they're tight ends aren't

26
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: particularly blockers either. Kind of shocks me. They don't have

27
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: the the Marcedes Lewis, big old good blocker type to

28
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: compliment Couch. Hilaria isn't going to help you out much there.

29
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what sort of pass blocker Darryl Williams

30
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: is or and I wouldn't bet on Gore being a

31
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: great pass blocker. But in general, the help players aren't

32
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: particularly helpful. Yeah, I mean, here's what here's what I've

33
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: seen from the press box the last oh well, pretty

34
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: much all season from Yeah. For teams that that really

35
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: just don't want what wrecking their game. The Ravens were

36
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: the Ravens example, the Ravens did this the entire game.

37
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: To you had a tight end or a wide receiver

38
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: chipping him at the snap, either from the side or

39
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: straight up, then he would he would disengage that get

40
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: to the offensive tackle first time he's been meeting his

41
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: primary block with a running back behind the right tackle

42
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: to help out if he beats the right tackle, yea, yeah,

43
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: it's Lawrence Taylor like treatment. So he's he's he's getting

44
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: three guys. I mean, if you're tight end. If let's

45
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: say they have Travis Kelsey every snap, okay, Travis, every snap,

46
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: before you go out on your passpot, you gotta chip what?

47
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: First of all, they'll know where you know we're now

48
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: you now know after a while, Okay, Kelsey's gonna be

49
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: on the right side of the formation. He's gonna chip what.

50
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: It also screws up the timing. It screws up the

51
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: timing of the of his primary receiver. Now Mahomes has

52
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: to hold the ball half a second longer. If if

53
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: Kelsey is the primary right right, that allows somebody else

54
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: time to get home. Oh, by the way, what can

55
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: still beat those two guys Because it's Andrew Wiley. He's

56
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: still getting home repeatedly. Right tackle has been their weakest

57
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: spot pretty much start to finish all the year. You know,

58
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: the other four are all new, they've all been success stories,

59
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: and some of them they all came from different avenues.

60
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: No it's a really good point. I mean I feel

61
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: like he has to almost be the best player on

62
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: the field. You have to pull this thing off. And

63
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: I think Heyward, he's very, very capable without question. Um

64
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: even Highsmith against Brown. He's familiar with that guy. Yeah,

65
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean he used to be a raven. They have

66
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: a detailed scouting report on Orlando Brown. Yeah, he's massive,

67
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: but he doesn't move right. So their tackles I think

68
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: are gonna have a tough day. And I bring up

69
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Brown because he's always gonna be singled. He wouldn't surprise

70
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: me too to see you know, them moving Hayward over

71
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: on Mors at time or whiley at times to get

72
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 1: him some rushes and go ahead, you want to you

73
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: want to double this over here? Okay, we're gonna We're

74
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: gonna line Cam and and Tej up next to each other.

75
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: You know, somebody will probably end up on the back

76
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: or a tight end. Yeah. Yeah, they'll do some things

77
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: to free those guys up. Yeah. Oh yeah. And we've

78
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: seen him kind of patrol on the second level here

79
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: and there as well the gaps as well. Now they'll

80
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: they'll do some different stuff with them. I'm sure Red

81
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: will have, you know, schematic things as you mentioned, to

82
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: try to they went him dropping in coverage as much

83
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: as possible, and there are some triggers where you know,

84
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: he detached a little bit here and there. But I

85
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna rush and he's gonna be a problem.

86
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean he's as healthy and as strong as he's

87
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: been all year. Yeah. Um, he forces fumbles, he forces fumbles,

88
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 1: Yeah right, mahomes Um he in in two games against

89
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers, are strowing fifty eight passes, is not thrown

90
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: an interception. Yeah, but he does have a couple of

91
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: fumbles against the Steelers. Um, you could say some of

92
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: the passing stuff maybe he's due for one, Um, But

93
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: the fumble stuff, I mean, you're your point about the

94
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: five fumbles in that last game, and the Chiefs are

95
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: covering all of them. Yeah, only two of those were

96
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: Steeler fumbles. Yea, three of them were chief fumbles. What

97
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: if two of them go the other way, it doesn't

98
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: mean the steel is gonna win the game, or that

99
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: would have won that game. Narrows the gap. I mean

100
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: he scored seventeen points off of those those turnovers. When

101
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: I read that, the point was everything that could have

102
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: went wrong for the Steelers, didn't that, you know? I mean,

103
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: it was a miserable one. And I mentioned the Steelers

104
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: live thing we did today. Meryl Hodge joined us that

105
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: he said that was the most errors he saw on

106
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: tape from the Steelers on both sides of the ball

107
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: all year. There was there wasn't anything that they did. Well,

108
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: do you think about it? I think the first Chiefs

109
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the Chief's opening drive, after the Steelers got a first down,

110
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: they punt. The Chief's opening drive is like sixteen plays.

111
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: They get down to the one, they're at the goal line.

112
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: There's it's second and goal to one um. Robert Splaine

113
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: shoots the gap has Edwards Hilaire for about a three

114
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: yard loss. One high smith, who got blocked kind of

115
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: to the ground, just grabs for whoever he can grab

116
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: their and and tackles Splaine as as he's hitting. As

117
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: he's hitting Edwards, Hilaire pulls him to the ground. Edwards

118
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: Hilaire runs and goes into the end zone. Everybody, well,

119
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: look at the contact balance of Edwards. Edward the defender

120
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: got tackled off of him. The rarity of the steel.

121
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: A steel making a good play got nullified by another Steeler,

122
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: you know, I mean read that perfectly, Yeah, perfectly, best

123
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: play the day at that point, and it would have

124
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: been you know, instead, it's instead of being third and

125
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: goal at the four, it's it's a touchdown. You're like,

126
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: oh boy, here we go. Then the next play, offensive play,

127
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: Roethlisberg comes out, throws an interception, Chiefs going to score again,

128
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: it's fourteen nothing. The game's over. Games basically over in

129
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: that environment against that team, you know, right with that,

130
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: with all those young guys looking up at the all

131
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: that red in the stands and and you know they're

132
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: they're they're tomahawk chopping, and so no, I do think

133
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: I think there's value to all those young guys being

134
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: in that stadium recently and understanding what not to do,

135
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: you know. And I would have it goes out saying,

136
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: I guess, but the Steeler coaching staff, led by Tomlin,

137
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: here's all the coaching tape of things not to do, right, yeah,

138
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: and you saw the results. If you do this, this

139
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: is going to happen and it's going to be bad,

140
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, So you know, don't know more self inflicted wounds.

141
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: We had a good conversation last segment about you know,

142
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: many fewer errors with the offensive line, you know, and

143
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: those aren't as obvious. But like, should I hold this

144
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: double team that long? Or who do I pick up

145
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: on the looper or the Stunnard? You know, they're they're

146
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: much more advanced that way at this point, so I

147
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: give a shot. I mean, that's what it comes down to. Yeah. Um,

148
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: And again, I think if t J. Watt is the

149
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: best player on the field, if t J. Watt has

150
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: a t J. Watt game where he has one of

151
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: these three and a half sack, um, you know, fumble

152
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: and they can't they can't block him and there their

153
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: no all of a sudden, they're throwing four guys over

154
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: there to try to do something. Um. Yeah, right right.

155
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: I also expect a big game from Cam, but that

156
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: also signed it seems to go without saying too. Yeah.

157
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: I have been meaning to ask you this because I

158
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: write a a call him after the game that comes

159
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: out every Tuesday, and it's gotten so redundant. I mean

160
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: you've probably been doing for eight years, but every week

161
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is redundant. But Cam was awesome. Again.

162
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: I can't find anything wrong with him. It's like every

163
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: game is the same from that guy, and people don't

164
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: talk about it because watch gets so much fanfare. I mean,

165
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: he's just work and you know, getting doubled like crazy

166
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: and you know, but boy, I mean he is a force.

167
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: What do you think of the play? I asked him

168
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: about it after the game, after he got done coming

169
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: off the podium where he drew the penalty for the

170
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: roughing unnecessary roughness penalty against Huntley and negated what would

171
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: have been the record breaking because what would have shared

172
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: that sackout a half of one at least, right, I mean,

173
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: I don't understand what a defensive player is supposed to

174
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: do there and these running quarterbacks that the quarterback impact. Yeah,

175
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: he's running. He's running in up into the pocket like

176
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna try to find an escape lane. Heyward just

177
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: came free, like I don't know, he shed his guy

178
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: and just came free and they collide and he's a

179
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: runner runner at that point he is. And again nobody airs.

180
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: I say this a lot too. Well, what's the defenders

181
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: supposed to do? Nobody cares. That's that's what Hayward. Hayward said.

182
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: I asked him after the game, he says, he said,

183
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: I asked I have to ask the official like what

184
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: am I supposed to do there? And the officials like, well,

185
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: I understand that, but it's still a penalty. People don't

186
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: care about that question this league, unfortunately, But um I

187
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: think that gets called. I not attend times. Do I

188
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: love it? No, But there's no that it was a penalty.

189
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Bye bye bye letter of the law. But there's just

190
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: but it wasn't dangerous in my opinion. There's nothing you

191
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: can do. There's nothing you can do, and you know,

192
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have to if the league

193
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: and they're not going to because they want to protect

194
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. But with all these running quarterbacks coming into

195
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: the league, you know, when these guys tucked the ball down,

196
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: they're not looking to throw. And I didn't thought about

197
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: this for a while either, but since Breeze, but really

198
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: since Wilson, you're seeing more short quarterbacks. You're seeing a

199
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: ton of athletes, and some of them are Kindler size

200
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: or Hayfield size. So the helmet level is already can't

201
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: Heyward six five right, you know what I mean? He's

202
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: already given up six inches to some of these guys

203
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: or four inches of these guys, and he's trying to

204
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: get low, you know, like it's a problem. Yeah, I

205
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what the the answer to that is.

206
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: And it's not fair to the defensive players. And I've

207
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: said this one years. I mean I can remember talking

208
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: to you can't hit him in the knees either, right,

209
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: that doesn't leaven and and especially like they're more elusive

210
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: than ever. The strike zone is moving more than ever did. Yeah,

211
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: playing safety in the league right now, I mean, you're

212
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 1: just you're destined to fail because you know, and you

213
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: have a couple of weeks, you know, when when Chris

214
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: Gobwin got hurt, Brady goes on with I don't think

215
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: the defenders should be able to go with their knees.

216
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: Where are you supposed to tackle on Tom? You can't.

217
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: You can't him in the head, You can't hit him

218
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: in the knees. Okay, you got about a twelve inch

219
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: spot where you can hit these guys on the move,

220
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: on the move in open field with guys that run

221
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: four three. I'm sorry, but that's on the quarterback. If

222
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: you throw, you throw a wide receiver or a tight

223
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: end or whoever over the middle into into danger like that,

224
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: or if you're a quarterback and you start running towards

225
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: the line of Like again, if you're going sideways, you

226
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: know you're you're the defender has more of a chance

227
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: to come up and make the tackle correct if you're

228
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: running straight into the pocket. I don't know what you do.

229
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: What you do, And I know this has gone away

230
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: the dinosaurs. It makes me sound old and an old

231
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: school Pittsburgher still curtain type guy. But I do wish

232
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: receiver's feared going over the middle of the field a

233
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: little bit too, A little bit, you know what I mean,

234
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: Like we don't leave Jack Tatum out there anymore on

235
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: the clothesline people, but big just because there's the big

236
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: collision and everyone that stands goes, oh, that doesn't mean

237
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: it has to be a penalty. Yeah, that's what happened

238
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: to make of his patrick in the one game against

239
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: I can't remember who that was against. Was it the Bengals?

240
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: Just like a reactionary call, now, I mean, those guys

241
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: throw that flag out like their doc holiday. It was.

242
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: It was a perfect shot. He hits him with a

243
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: shoulder in the chest and the flag comes up because

244
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: the guy's head snapped back. Because it's a collision and

245
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: sometimes they'll pick those up once in a while, but

246
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: I hate that a big collision draws a flag every time,

247
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And that was one where

248
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick's like like pointing up at the screen, look my

249
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: shoulders in his chest. That's not a penalty and it's

250
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: a big collision. Yeah, you get the other team a

251
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: first down out of that stuff. Yeah, as opposed to

252
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: a big negative play and a little bit of fear

253
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: to come back. There's some things that I would definitely

254
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: change about the NFL if I were in charge. Yeah,

255
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: you know, this offseason we will revisit some of these

256
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: things too. Yeah, I think some of the like I

257
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't think defensive holding should be an automatic penalty,

258
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, should be an automatic first down. I think

259
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: that's too punitive. How many times do you see it's

260
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: third and twenty three and somebody gets a defensive holding

261
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: penalty and the theay other team gets an automatic first down,

262
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: and then that's that's that's Yeah. Yeah, I agree, that's

263
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: too harsh. Automatic first downs in general, I think are

264
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: given out a little too liberally. Yeah, you know what

265
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean. I don't know if we've had this conversation

266
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: at least not in the last year or two. I

267
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: don't know what I feel about defensive past interference because

268
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't want it to be the college rule where

269
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: it's ten yards or fifteen and eight er bombs are

270
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: getting dragged down to save sixty yards, and I don't

271
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: I don't want the officials to have to judge in

272
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: tent either, right right, right, right. So, but I I

273
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: don't necessarily like team. You know, these teams just lob

274
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: it up there and hope for a penalty, right, and

275
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: Steve has been guilty of that. I mean, there's been

276
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: some claypool times, and the Ravens did a lot of

277
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: it in the Flaco era, and I really dislike that

278
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: as a strategy to move the football is we'll just

279
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: hope for a defensive past. I'll throw it, especially you know,

280
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, so now they throw the back shorter shoulder throw,

281
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: and you know there's gonna be contact on that just

282
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: because of the way the ball is thrown. I don't

283
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: know what the answer is to that either. But one

284
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: I do like actually had dawned on me that I

285
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: like for the defense that is sort of recent is

286
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: the guy catches the ball in the air, not by

287
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: the sidelines. You push them out of I can drive

288
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: him all the way out, you know, it's not like

289
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: your job to stay and balance. Yeah, that there's a

290
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: recent rule change. It's actually helped the defensive back a little.

291
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: They need a little bit of help for getting something

292
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: right that's not in the middle field. But I do

293
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: like that part of it. I was asked, actually, now

294
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: that we're on the subject um, if what I would do,

295
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: if anything to change over time. And I thought about it,

296
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: and and here's what I came up with. I don't

297
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: like the ten minutes of overtime. Yeah, because it's too short.

298
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why that exists. They wanted to shorten

299
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: the game, but here the problem is they don't want

300
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: to run into the next game, the TV game. The

301
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: problem becomes if the first team, the team that has

302
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: the ball first, you win the you win the flip,

303
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: you get the ball first, You go on like a

304
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: seven minute drive that ends in the field goal. The

305
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: other team still has an opportunity to kick a field

306
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: goal to either a tire extending game or win the game,

307
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: but their offensive series is not nearly what yours was.

308
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: You though, you're now in a two minute mode where

309
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: they were just they're just running the ball, you know,

310
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: taking their time getting down the field. What I would

311
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: do would be to give both teams a possession, even

312
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: if the first team scores a touchdown. No, I think

313
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: that's still that's still end. But I would give both

314
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: teams a possession and then start the ten minute clock

315
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: after that or an eight minute clock or whatever it

316
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: may be. But both teams get the same shot at

317
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: because a coin flips two arbitrary. I hear you. I

318
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: don't dislike that rule at all. I think that's a

319
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: good suggestion because I often think about college overtime or

320
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: kind of how the NFL has overtime's gone, like baseball winnings,

321
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, like I want my fare ops, but I

322
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: don't want only one out right, yeah you know, I

323
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: mean if the other two now you can say, well

324
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: your your defense and opportunity to get off the field,

325
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: sure of course, But sometimes that doesn't happen. It still

326
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: came down to the coin flip deciding Okay, you're in.

327
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: You're in. You know, you're in regular game mode here,

328
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: and we have to go. We have to go to

329
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: the hurry up because you know, I mean even if

330
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: you gave them three time outs instead of two, that

331
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: might help a little. Or making it a fifteen minute

332
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: quarter instead of ten. Well, they're they're not going to

333
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: change that because they don't want They cut it down

334
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: because they wanted to. They didn't want teams playing that

335
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: many more snaps. But you know what I mean, you

336
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: don't know if you'll I mean, make it again, make

337
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: it six minutes. I don't care what it mean it is,

338
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: come up with the time. Make sure both teams have

339
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: the same opportunity in the same time frame. I mean,

340
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: it's still have a play clock and still lay games

341
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: and things. It's not like they can just spend all day, right, Yeah,

342
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: you're not gonna stand out there. Okay, what do we

343
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: want to run? Here? Go get a sandwich while we

344
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: figure out what the It's not like you're playing the

345
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: you know, Madden here or go get a beer, you know, right.

346
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: But I think it's I think, I mean, I think

347
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: that would be more fair than selling the team that

348
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: wins the toss. Well, if you shoot, if you take

349
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: up eight minutes of the quarter, you're probably gonna win. Yeah,

350
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: you're gonna I was I thought about it watching the

351
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: Steelers Ravens, and then I thought about it again. Raiders Chargers, like,

352
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: you're just out there taking your time. You're trying to

353
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: eat clock here you should. Yeah, it's very advantageous to

354
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: eat clock if you win this. So the team that

355
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: wins the flip flip, it still has a huge advantage,

356
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: and they do anyways, because if they score a touchdown,

357
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: the game's over. But still, I like that suggestion and

358
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: this conversation aside. I've often been asked, I'm sure you

359
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: have two in the last ten years, what would you

360
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: do about overtime? I know I don't have a good answer.

361
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: That's that's what really the answer I like. I know

362
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: it's far from perfect. I have not heard an answer

363
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: that I've heard, whether I've created it or stolen from

364
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: somebody else, that I say, Oh, that's it. Somebody's gonna

365
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: come up with one and they're gonna go that's it.

366
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: I know, let's have a spelling contest, right right. Well,

367
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: the other thing that they could do, and this would

368
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: bring this would bring some strategy into things as well.

369
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: The team that wins the opening coin flip, the other

370
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: team gets the ball to start overtime. M Okay, do

371
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: you want it now or you can you can see

372
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: if the same goes to overtime, get part of the

373
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: original they get they get the ball if this goes

374
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: if this goes to overtime, not you don't see a

375
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: lot of overtime games, right, but it would factor in

376
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: your if that might factor into your decision. Yeah, you know,

377
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: like we have the conversation last segment, do you want

378
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: to if you want to toss in case? Do you

379
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: want it or not? Well, in a playoff game, if

380
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: I know that I get the ball in overtime first,

381
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: I'll take that option, you know, Okay, it made for

382
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: me to change my mind. Right, you get the ball

383
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: to start the game. You got the ball to start

384
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: the game. If that's what you want. If you differ,

385
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: then you get a lot more Teams would defer. Yeah,

386
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: but they already do. But they already do. Yeah, right

387
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: right now, that could factor in the opening coin toss.

388
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: You know, like how much do I think? It's almost

389
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: like a jump on jump balls in basketball for young people,

390
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: don't that don't understand this. There used to be jump

391
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: balls all the time basketball all the time, right right,

392
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: It wasn't just possession, and then they just changed it

393
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: to the possession arrow thing. It's kind of the same thing,

394
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: the same thing, one flip at the beginning of the

395
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: game and then and then the game is on. And

396
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: if you win the flip to start the game and

397
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: you want the ball, well you don't get the ball

398
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: to start overtime. Yeah, I've heard this suggestion. I don't

399
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: hate it, but I don't think it's perfect either. Instead

400
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: of flipping a coin and overtime, whoever is the most

401
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: yards gets the ball. Ar you know, but then you

402
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: can pad things or you know what I mean. It's like,

403
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: this looks like it's gonna be a tie. We're gonna

404
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna throw a twelve yard out here so we

405
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: have more yards and third and eight, I'm gonna throw

406
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: the seven yard out. And you know, I don't like

407
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: that either because it's not necessarily the better team or

408
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: you deserve a reward for that, right right. I. I I mean,

409
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: there's there's a lot to think of there, but I mean, yeah,

410
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: I kind of like the opening coin toss suggestion that

411
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: if factors in, like we'll know who gets the ball

412
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: in overtime before this game even kicks off. Yeah, you

413
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: don't need to do it again right right right to arbitrary,

414
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: and it might be it might decide how you go

415
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: forward or not on at the end of the very well,

416
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: the last two minutes of game. It's fourth, it's fourth

417
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: and two from the forty seven, and I'm not getting

418
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: the ball in it. I mean, they're gonna get the

419
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: ball first and overtown. We can't stop him this hardball

420
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: go for two, you know what I mean? Like, well,

421
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: I know I'm getting the ball, I might as well

422
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: kick it and receive. Well you knew that going in.

423
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: You know that was part of your your decision on

424
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: the opening coin flip. Now I like that part a lot.

425
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: There you go, which we're changing all kinds of stuff there. Yeah,

426
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: I just came up with I was thinking about that

427
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 1: as I was driving back from from Baltimore, Like, why

428
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: would I change this just goes overtime. It's very flawed. Yeah,

429
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: there's there's not I don't under the College way either.

430
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: The problem, one of the problems with the call is

431
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: ways and this is a kind of fantasy dork ish too,

432
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: is everyone's stats are screwed up. You know, only through

433
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: for seven touchdowns today and eight overtimes, Like that's not

434
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: if you watch it was the Penn State Illinois game.

435
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: That one's back and forth, the back that was the

436
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: one where they had then they had they just a

437
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: bunch of two point conversions at the end, like two

438
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: point conversion, try after two point conversion. That's not football.

439
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: That's like having that's like having a shootout in the

440
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: hockey or keig, guys, we're gonna have a three point

441
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: contest here to decide this game? Like yeah, right, like

442
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a spelling it's not it's not it's football,

443
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: but it's not football. I mean, shootouts are cool, everyone

444
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: likes to watch them. But that doesn't mean you're a

445
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: better hockey team because you that scores every time, you

446
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Whatever, Yeah, I just I you know,

447
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: I don't know that this game will come down to overtime. No,

448
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: it probably isn't particularly relevant to people. Need to do

449
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: need to remember that overtime And we're talking about regularly

450
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: and we're talking about regular season stuff, overtime in the playoffs.

451
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: You just keep going, You just go forever. They're fifteen

452
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: minute quarders, right, not ten. No, they're still ten. They're

453
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: still ten. Okay, I wasn't sure on that, I do believe, Okay, yeah, Um,

454
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: any of their nuggets, um, no, you know, just other

455
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: than that, you know, I think the Chiefs, Um, if

456
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: you look at it, number one and this is not surprising.

457
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: Number one in the league on third downs, number one

458
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: in the league on fourth downs. Really good situationally except

459
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Except in the red zone. And

460
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what to think of that. I mean,

461
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: is it because they don't run the ball? Well, maybe

462
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: on the ham None of the running backs are hammers.

463
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: Gore is probably the closest thing that they have to that,

464
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: and they don't play him very much. Yeah, and he's right,

465
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna see the field much as I

466
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: think there's something you said for that. Um, there was

467
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: one number I came up with. I don't have a

468
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: great answer for two that since we got together yards

469
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: per play, their defense is second worst in the league.

470
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: They allow five point nine yards per play. Amazingly, only

471
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens are worse there at six. The most passing

472
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: yards all right, which makes people chuckle a little bit. Well,

473
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: it's why to throw that in there, because Peter fans

474
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: will like it. But the middle of the road in

475
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: points allowed. So you know, I'm a big yards for

476
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: play guy, and almost always the guys at the top

477
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: and the bottom or correlate to the most or fewest points.

478
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs have a little bit of that Belichick

479
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: factor where Okay, you're getting yardage on us, but not points.

480
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,239
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's sustainable. I don't know if

481
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: that's a read thing. Year after I think they I

482
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: think they blitz a lot in the red zone and

483
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you turn that into a sack um.

484
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: It's definitely a Belichick trade. They get that defense because

485
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: of yardage not points for twenty years in New England.

486
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: Is Kansas City mimicking that or I don't know, but

487
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: I thought I found that kind of interesting. Yeah, I

488
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: think that's part. I mean, if you watch their games,

489
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: I mean they'll they'll bring it in those situation. It's

490
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: third and down, it's third and eight. Ben Roethlisberger better

491
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: be ready for a blitz because it's coming from somewhere.

492
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: It goes back to us talking about this last segment.

493
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: You know, Spagnola is very aggressive by design. You know,

494
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: we know that you're gonna my quarterbacks gonna get me

495
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: points if I'm gonna die by the bliz. It's you

496
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: guys still get the thirty Yeah, right advantage. Yeah. Um,

497
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm actually the more that this week has gone on,

498
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: the more I'm kind of looking forward to this game.

499
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the I think that's more than

500
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: just they're gonna get steam rolled. They're bad at everything,

501
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: grade at everything. I think there's more nuances to it there.

502
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: There definitely are. And you know again, I the Steelers

503
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: have played maybe and I know they gave up two

504
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: nine rushing yards last week, but I think they played

505
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: two of their better defensive games the last two weeks.

506
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: They've gotten after it. They forced turnovers. If you look

507
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: at their their forced turnovers over the last part portion

508
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: of the season. Why you're looking real quick, it's pretty significant.

509
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: Monday to nine a lot. But if you told me

510
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs got eighty on the ground, I don't know

511
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: that I mind that. Yeah, I might even prefer it

512
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: as opposed to four yard you know what I mean again,

513
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: it's it's it's what you mentioned, are going into the

514
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: last breaka that's by a thousand paper guts I mentioned.

515
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: I said something to Keith Butler about them. I'm like

516
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: is the idea. You don't want to get beat over

517
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: the top. Make them matriculate the ball down the field.

518
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: Because they're not good in the red zone. There, I

519
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't say they're not good. They're average in the red

520
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: zone for a great offense. They're not great. They're seventeenth

521
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: in the league in red zone off the sort of chinks. Yeah,

522
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean they've got a great field goal kickers, great

523
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: kickers in this Yeah. If you look at over the

524
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: last Steelers last five games, uh, they four six eleven

525
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: turnovers in the last five games, none against the Chiefs.

526
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: So you know, the other four games at eleven force turnovers.

527
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: We didn't get bounces on fumbles and you know, and

528
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: didn't force my homes to play left hand. There's a

529
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: little fumble luck there, right right. Turnovers the biggest y.

530
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: Keep coming back to that, just keep coming back to it,

531
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: far and away. Number one here, Yeah, we're gonna take

532
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: another break. Here is Matt Williams and I'm Dale Lolly.

533
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 1: We are brought to you by Ford and fed X.

534
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: When we come back time for the Fantasy Football Focus,

535
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna pick our DFS team for Saturday's slate games.

536
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 1: We'll do that. Then we'll take a quick look at

537
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: run the league ever, who is in and who is

538
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: out in terms of practices, we'll do that, all that

539
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: right after this
