1
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: At least he's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: And welcome to the Drive. I am Dale Lolly, he

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 2: is the Matt Williamson and Matt Mike Tomlin asked today

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: after practice if he's ready to name a starter yet.

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: He said, no, there's no competitive event. It serves no purpose.

8
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 3: For us, flat out. Kane Clean said, why would I bother?

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 2: You know, why why would he? But he did say

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: that both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields were full participants

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: at practice today. That's unsurprising, Yes, but there's there's plenty

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 2: of video out there that shows that Russell Wilson was

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: taking first team snaps.

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean even I think it was Tom Pellosorrow

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: or whatever said Wilson's going to start.

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: Well, I think for the last oh, I don't know, month,

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: and certainly the last few days we were talking about

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: that Russell Wilson going to start this game. No surprise

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: there and so, and I credit Jim Wexel with this.

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: People are going crazy over this. Can't believe he's benching

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: the four and two quarterback? What are we doing this

22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: has never happened before. It's happened in Steelers history, folks.

23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: Nineteen seventy four. Yeah, fifty year anniversary. In fact of

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: this happening every fifty years, it happened. Nineteen seventy four.

25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: Joe Gillim starts the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers coming

26
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: out of training camp. There's a player strike that year,

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: Terry Bradshaw held out. Chuck Noll decides to go with

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: Joe Gillim as his quarterback. To Steelers are for to

29
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: one and one in their first six games, and Chuck

30
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: Doles says, you know what, Terry.

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: You're the quarterbacks. Huh win this go in it all? Yeah,

32
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: there you have it now. It doesn't happen often in history.

33
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: Of course, you know, teams with winning records switching quarterbacks.

34
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: But this isn't switching quarterbacks. If it would have been

35
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: Week one, nobody would have been an eye, right.

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: You know.

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: And if he would have been healthy, he would have

38
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: been the Week one starter, you know.

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was named the starter at the beginning of

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: the season. Then he got hurt, hasn't been available right.

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: Last week was the first time he practiced in full

42
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: for the week and now Tomlin's moving forward back with

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: his starting quarterback.

44
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it's a right move. I mean,

45
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: it's not a knock on field. Fields did well. He'll

46
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: probably see the field again some capacity. I think you

47
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 3: learned a lot more about fields as well. But Wilson

48
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 3: is more experienced, and I bet we see that on

49
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: the field.

50
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: I would bet so as well.

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

52
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't tell you what I saw at practice today,

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: but I liked what I saw practice today.

54
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: Good, good good.

55
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: I'm just saying Sunday night, just saying, yeah, so we

56
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: moved forward with this thing. I do believe that Justin

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: Fields will have some type of participation against the New

58
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: York Jets. That was the plan going into the season.

59
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 2: We talked about it. Yeah, it's got the day Russell

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: or the day Justin Field signed with the Steelers or

61
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: was traded to by the Steelers, I said, I would

62
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: have a package for this guy. Yeah, and I'm therefore

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: that's something that they've you know, talked about in training camp.

64
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, well now you have, you know exactly

65
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: what his strengths are. You got to see your.

66
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: Pasage who he's got the whole playbook to work with right,

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: you know. I mean you could build special things per

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: you know, per opponent or whatever. It doesn't mean it's

69
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: coming and run every time.

70
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: Every snap you can have him drop back and throw.

71
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

72
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they want to overload and try to you know,

73
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: Oh he's gonna he's coming in the run.

74
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: No, not necessarily, not sure it can.

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's it's kind of the best of both worlds.

76
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: I think. So assuming Wilson plays as well as we expect,

77
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, this isn't an easy opponent, and

78
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: I think he's going to be more than ready, and

79
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: he's probably chomping at the bit in order to get

80
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: in there. I mean, I'm sure sitting on being on

81
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: the sidelines was not easy for him, or his ego

82
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: or any of that kind of stuff. I'm sure he's

83
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: competitive and wants to play, but I expect everything to

84
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: be crisper, you know, and especially the passing game.

85
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, particularly the passing game. And I think this is

86
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: going to unlock some things within the passing game that

87
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: we haven't seen yet.

88
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

89
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think George Pickens is going to be very happy.

90
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: I would think.

91
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: I think the other receivers who have kind of been

92
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: ignored to this point to a large degree, are going

93
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: to be excited because I think what having a veteran

94
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: quarterback in there does. And again, no, this is no

95
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: knock on Justin fields. But he doesn't throw guys open

96
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: like Russell Wilson.

97
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: Will assume, right, Yeah, as well as distributing the ball,

98
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: getting everybody involved, taking what the defense gives you. I mean,

99
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: that's that's not a cliche phrase. I mean, there is

100
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 3: no perfect defense. There's a weakness to every Everyone stematically

101
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: or everybody run the same defense, you know, so you pick.

102
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: I mean like in this instance, it doesn't look good

103
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: for Sauce Gardner's gonna play, but doesn't look good for

104
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: their next two corners of the Jets. So maybe it's

105
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: more of an Austin Jefferson game than you would originally thought,

106
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

107
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: And that's something that we haven't seen. We've seen Austin

108
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: have one good game, but we haven't seen those guys utilized,

109
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: I think, to their to their best potential. Yeah, yeah,

110
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: and I get it. Everybody wants another receiver. The Steelers

111
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: would like to get an upgrade at wide receiver, But

112
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean that Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin can't

113
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: play in the NFL or can't get open or can't

114
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: get open or do all those things. I just don't

115
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: think they've had many opportunities thus far.

116
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: Right, I don't think either one's ever go into Pro

117
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: Bowls or going to be special players or whatever. But

118
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: they're on the field a lot, and if you don't

119
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: utilize them, you become too easy to play against.

120
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: Right, It's okay, it's all pickens and farnmouth centric in

121
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: the passing game. Well, yeah, you're right, that makes you

122
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: too easy to play against.

123
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: Right, If not that the defense is going to ignore

124
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 3: those guys or not cover them. But if you're playing

125
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: five on five hoops and that dude never shoots, never

126
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: get the ball.

127
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: He's just standing over there to three point lone, hoping

128
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: here and there, he's standing under the basket. He makes

129
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: a cut to the basket and nobody goes with him,

130
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: and he's going, hey, and nobody throws them the ball.

131
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: Use the whole court, yeah, right, Or you know the

132
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: skater that doesn't shoot, ever shoot the pot, you know, like,

133
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: what are you doing?

134
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 4: You know?

135
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if you look at it through the

136
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: first six games. Van Jefferson has eight catches for sixty

137
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: two yards. Calvin Austin has ten catches for one hundred

138
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: and sixty seven yards, but most of that came in

139
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: was was in one game. I mean, he has a

140
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: fifty five yard touchdown catch. They've been underutilized. They just

141
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: have they have and again we're what I claim in

142
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: their superstar. The offense should go through them. But you

143
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 2: got to have they're better than that.

144
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: Ye had to say. I think you'd have to have

145
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: more than a target or two per game.

146
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: I can tell you for a fact, on the play

147
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: that Justin Fields rolled to his right, crossed the line

148
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: of scrimmage, and through the touchdown pass back across his

149
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: body to friar move and it went for Touchdobody got

150
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: called back as he began rolling to his right. Calvin

151
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: Austen is standing in the end zone, in the corner

152
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: of the end zone to the side that he's rolling to,

153
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: not on the other side beside that he's rolling to

154
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: by himself. I could have thrown it. Yeah, yeah, it

155
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: was a ten yard pass, but out before the line, right,

156
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: you know, right, and he never he never Fields never

157
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: saw him. Now that happens. Of course, that happened to

158
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: Joe Montana, that right, miss guys. But I just think

159
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: sometimes in some of these instances, and this again no

160
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: knock on fields, but I think he's gotten so pickens

161
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: firemouth centric at times, knowing that those are my top

162
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: two guys, I got to go to them and sometimes

163
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: you ignore the others.

164
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: I don't know is but I have a hunch. How

165
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: does he go through his reads get to the third

166
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: guy right? You know, because you're going to devise more

167
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: first read things for picking the fire move. Of course,

168
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: that's what the league does. You don't do it for

169
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: your fourth receiver as often, you know, so and that's earned,

170
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: you know, you scheme it up for your best guy.

171
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just football. But does he ever get

172
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: the number three right? That's what we don't or does

173
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: he take off on that or do they tell him

174
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: They might tell him that two out there go to

175
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: you're on your own, you know, tucking and run. I

176
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 3: mean Jayden Daniels early in the season his rookie year,

177
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: if he felt any pressure, he just ran it. Clearly

178
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: coached him to do that, you know, and it works.

179
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: I just I mean, there was another play where Connor

180
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: Hayward's wide open to his I think it was actually

181
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: on dan Or Lawski's It was a scramble up the middle,

182
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: and he said, well, these are hidden yards.

183
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: You know.

184
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: That could have been a sack back there for minus seven.

185
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: But he gains fourteen yards on the run, So therefore

186
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: that's twenty one lost yards at the Steelers offense is

187
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 2: going to have to make up. Meanwhile, Connor Hayward's standing

188
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: over along the sidelines one right here, I am.

189
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: You don't know that Wilson's going to take a sack there, right,

190
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: I mean he.

191
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 2: He might get the ball out and throw at the

192
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: Connor Heyward.

193
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, for a bigger game, maybe run, throw a touchdown

194
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: or whatever maybubbles, who knows what happened? Again, right, there's

195
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: a different way of playing quarterback. It's you're allowed to

196
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: throw the football again. I'd lived through the Cordell Stewart years,

197
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: the good and the bad. Yeah, yeah, And Cordell was

198
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 3: a great player. Justin Fields is a great football player.

199
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 3: He is, I mean, he is a fabulous football player.

200
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: He is not as good a passer as Russell Wilson. No,

201
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: nobody would argue that.

202
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think he'd argue that Cordell Stewart was

203
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: a great football player. He was not as good of

204
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: a passer as Tommy Maddox. Yeah, now, Madnis certainly had

205
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: his flaws, and that's why Bill Kawer went to Tommy Max.

206
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 2: He saw after getting to the court the AFC Championship

207
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: Game twice with Cordell, that they couldn't take the next step.

208
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: They couldn't get to the super Bowl playing that way.

209
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: And and again I don't think that they utilized Cordell

210
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: the right way.

211
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 3: Different too, the times were different. Cordell would have a

212
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 3: bet her career now than absolutely, no question. It might

213
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: be the first picking the draft, but he was.

214
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 4: He was.

215
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: He was middle of the pack in terms of actually

216
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: throwing the football. Yeah, but if you're not.

217
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 3: Gives a lot more five step drops and seven step drop.

218
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 2: If you're not going to utilize his legs or devise

219
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: an offense to utilize his legs, then what are you

220
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: doing right?

221
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: Like just think of the history of athletic quarterbacks. I

222
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 3: thought a huge step was taken forward in Washington when

223
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: they drafted RG three. Like, you know, stuff ruined his career,

224
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: but he burst on the scene. He was a stud

225
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 3: his first year.

226
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: Before that, Michael Vick was you know they yeah, but

227
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: ran stuff.

228
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Daddy Shanahan created it all in Washington. That's the staff,

229
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 3: like Gruden was. All these dudes are on you know,

230
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: like not Gruden but his son and what McVeigh and

231
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: all those dudes. And it was a lot of play action,

232
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: use your legs while you learn. You know, that was

233
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 3: kind of a novel concept at the time. You know,

234
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: we want you to be a runner. I mean that's

235
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: why we drafted you. But eventually you need to become

236
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 3: the pocket passer too, which Wilson kind of went through.

237
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: That early in his career. Yeah, you know, absolutely first.

238
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: That's the thing with this Russell. There's a reason why

239
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: when Justin Fields was in college, he was calling Russell

240
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: Wilson for tips on how to be a quarterback.

241
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 4: Yeah.

242
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 2: Like these two have known each other for a long time.

243
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: And I've heard the suggestion what people expecting Russell Wilson

244
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: to mentor Justin Fields are crazy. That's not his job.

245
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: He's been doing that. He's been mentoring Justin Fields. These

246
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: guys are friends.

247
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: Off the field. I mean, he doesn't have to doesn't

248
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: have to have to. But I mean they've had a

249
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: relationship before. It is being a good teammate.

250
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: But this is This is not Ben Roethlisberger refusing to

251
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: mentor Mason Rudolph because he sees him as a threat.

252
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: Like Justin Russell. Wilson's at the point in his career

253
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: where all right, he's on a one year contract. Yeah,

254
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: if I come in here and play, well, if the

255
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: Steelers don't pay me, somebody will pay me next year.

256
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: And Justin Field is in the same situation like I

257
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: got one year. If it's here, if it's somewhere else,

258
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: somebody's gonna pay me.

259
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: And I don't think the Wilson family exactly hurting for bucks.

260
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: They're not.

261
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: But there's more to it than that, of course. Yeah,

262
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: And I do believe. And I don't know either one personally.

263
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 3: They don't know who I am. I mean, but I

264
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: think Wilson wants the best for Fields too, you know.

265
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 2: He wants he wants the best for the team. I

266
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: think they both want what's best for the team. I

267
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: think this is a good situation and both guys are

268
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: going to play.

269
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and which is an interesting approach. I mean,

270
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 3: there's not many teams that truly utilize two quarterbacks regularly.

271
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: But most people don't know if Justin Field is a backup.

272
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

273
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: That's the thing.

274
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you think back to the Ravens when when

275
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 2: they had Flacco and Jackson sitting on you know, and

276
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: the bench is a rookie. They had a package use this,

277
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: you know, they had a package for him. They didn't

278
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: ask him to throw a lot out of that package.

279
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: And you know, as we said, Fields can throw out

280
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: of that package whatever, whatever way you devise that. You

281
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: can just have him come in and run a couple

282
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: of Hey, run a couple of playsure it's third and two.

283
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 3: Oh you go empty, you know, I mean, yeah, I

284
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: do whatever. You could run the whole playbook. We've already

285
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: seen it, no question about it.

286
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: So I think it's a good situation. Makes them very

287
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: difficult to prepare for. And again the decision has been made.

288
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 2: It's over, you know, off the lobby for one or

289
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: the other. But if Fields were the starter, I don't

290
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: think you'd see Wilson. You wouldn't see a Wilson pat

291
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: when you do get down to the ten, Let's bring

292
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: Russ in and let him throw a touchdown pass right right.

293
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: I don't think that's what it would work, you know,

294
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 3: And it didn't get it didn't last week.

295
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: But you can in the middle of a drive, third

296
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: and four. Here it's second and three. Let's bring in

297
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: the fields here and see if we can catch him

298
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: off and maybe you keep will I don't know, maybe

299
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: keep Wilson on the field. Maybe you don't that.

300
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 3: I don't know. I never understood that, Like with the

301
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 3: Flacco Jackson stuff. Why had Flacco stand there like with

302
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 3: his hands and it was Flacco like Wilson can pull

303
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 3: them off the field.

304
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: Wilson's a better athlete than Flacco, no doubt.

305
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 3: But he's not going to run roundes.

306
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: No, you know, but you could do it. You could

307
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: do a throw. But it's all kinds of stuff that

308
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: you could do. You know, the first five times you

309
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: do it, he just stands there. Then all of a sudden,

310
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: the sixth time, he goes back behind the line of

311
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: scrimmage and you go throw over the top. I mean,

312
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: there's there are things here that you set plays up.

313
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 3: Oh, there's a lot of creativity coming. Yeah, I'm sure

314
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 3: of that. And I don't think fields will enter the

315
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: game just for push push or yardage or I don't

316
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: even know if he'll come in for those instances at all.

317
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 4: Maybe he will.

318
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 3: I mean, he's hard to deal with in that in

319
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: that situation, but I don't know. I'm sure he'll run

320
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: a large percentage of his snaps, but certainly not all.

321
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: I mean I would I would devise something where I

322
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: got Harris on one side of him, I got Jayalen

323
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: Warren on another. Maybe I got Cordo Patterson split out

324
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: wide and with with you know whoever out there. I mean,

325
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: it looks like a run package. I got all my running,

326
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: I got all my runners on the field, and then

327
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: you throw it and they can all catch. Yeah.

328
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: The thing is like it's gonna sound so old, but

329
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: people do it now. I mean, single wing stuff is

330
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: still being used in the you know, and it's hard

331
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: to deal with. And it was crazy because it's hard

332
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: to deal with. Yeah, you can run some of that

333
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: stuff too.

334
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, just I think people are look, some people are

335
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: looking at this as if Justin Fields is being benched, right.

336
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: I think that's the wrong way looking.

337
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: It's absolutely the wrong way to look at it. He

338
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: was the backup Joe Gillham got bench Joe Gillim got bench.

339
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: He was the start, He was named the starter going

340
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: into the season, and then got bench, got replaced, and

341
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: got replaced. This is a situation where the starter got hurt,

342
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: is now healthy and he's coming back into start.

343
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: Because they think he gives him the best chance to win.

344
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: And I agree, yeah, you know, I'm excited to see it.

345
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: I am as well. We'll talk to Bob Labriola next

346
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: and see if he is excited to see this. We'll

347
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about nineteen seventy four as well.

348
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 3: No question.

349
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: He is Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lolly. You're listening

350
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: to the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network, Matt

351
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: and I'll be back with more right after this.

352
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: At least.

353
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

354
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,880

357
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: He is the Matt Williamson. And on the phone line,

358
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: the Justin Miller Hotline, We're joined by Bob Labriola, the

359
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 2: editor of Steelers Digested, Steelers dot Com, and the dean

360
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: of Doom.

361
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: What's Up Bob, I'm just wondering if you and Matt

362
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 4: have figured out who's starring a quarterback on something.

363
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: We figured it out quite some time ago. It's just

364
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: taking the rest of the world some time to catch up.

365
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 4: We'll fill me in.

366
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: We might be cooking a little bit on on Sunday night,

367
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: how about that.

368
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 4: You know, I don't disagree. The only thing I would

369
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 4: say is no center, no starting center.

370
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's concern.

371
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a concern.

372
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe you need the wheels fields is wheels a

373
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 4: little bit?

374
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: What do you think There are other ways to attack that,

375
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 2: That's what I think, such as going to a little

376
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: bit of quicker passing game, slowing that pass rush down

377
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: a little bit. There's some things you can do to

378
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: alleviate that. And I know this is one of the

379
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: things that's driven me nuts about the whole thing here, Bob. Yes,

380
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: just Russell Wilson is not justin fields. Is a runner

381
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: Nobody out there outside of Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels.

382
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: I don't think there is anybody else in the league

383
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: that is the runner in that class of fields. But

384
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: he ran for three hundred and fifty yards last year

385
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: in Denver in fifteen games. It's not like he's he's

386
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: not endgame Ben Roethlisberger standing back in the pocket.

387
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 4: I don't you know. I'm not advocating that Russell Wilson

388
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 4: not get an opportunity to do what he was brought

389
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: to Pittsburgh to do by any means. I'm just you know,

390
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 4: I just think that, and I don't know, maybe this

391
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 4: is just me. First of all, I don't think that

392
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 4: it's necessarily a strict either or with those guys in

393
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 4: any game.

394
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: No, I think both both could play this week.

395
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, you know who you who you start with,

396
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: who you go to, you know. All of that stuff

397
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 4: To me is you know details. But you know I

398
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 4: I am. I am of the opinion like a lot

399
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 4: of people, and it sounds like you and Matt too,

400
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: that Russell Wilson was brought to Pittsburgh for a reason.

401
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 4: And you know, now that he's healthy, I see no

402
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 4: reason why you don't find out if you know, he's

403
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 4: capable of executing the plan you had in mind all along.

404
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 4: Uh So, but anyway, you know we're gonna find out.

405
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 4: To me, it's there's nothing like I wouldn't call it

406
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: a quarterback controversy. Yet. But you know, nothing stirs the

407
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 4: paying customers like quarterback questions. I mean seriously, and it

408
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 4: certainly should be interesting on Sunday night when you know

409
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 4: the other team has an interesting quarterback as well, albeit

410
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 4: somewhat older.

411
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: You mentioned it already, But how much is the offensive

412
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 3: line worry you for this game and really the rest

413
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 3: of the season considering all the injuries?

414
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you know, if you get Zach Fraser back,

415
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 4: I like the five. You know, I don't think you

416
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 4: can absorb too many more injuries, you know, beyond you know,

417
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: short term things. But you know, I think that people

418
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 4: getting on Broderick Jones for last week that's a little bit.

419
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 4: That was Max Crosby. Boys and girl, that guy can

420
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 4: play a little bit. And you know, Broderick Jones, you

421
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 4: know he's gonna if you got to hold the guy.

422
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 4: I mean, we see what they do to t. J. Watt.

423
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 4: And you know, Max Crosby isn't far below category right

424
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 4: in the game record category, So you know, I'm not

425
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 4: I'm not ready to throw Broderick Jones out in the

426
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: trash because he got a holding penalty and oh my goodness,

427
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 4: he was holding him another time and it wasn't called

428
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 4: I mean that in this league, yeah right, and that

429
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 4: tends to happen a lot to guys like Max Crosby

430
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 4: and TJ. Watt, you know, and those people. So uh yeah,

431
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 4: I you know, the offensive line to me is not

432
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 4: as worrisome as I just believe that. You know, you

433
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 4: got to be able to have an NFL caliber pass

434
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 4: offense to get through the next eleven games against the teams.

435
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 4: You know, you got the home and homes against all

436
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 4: of the AFC North teams, you got the Eagles, you

437
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 4: got Kansas City, you got Washington. You know, these are

438
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 4: games that you need more than one hundred and forty

439
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 4: five yards passing. You know, you just do.

440
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 2: You're one hundred percent correct about that. And that was

441
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: kind of one of the points that I made was

442
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: that if you're going to beat the Ravens this year,

443
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: and the Ravens look like they're going to be, surprise, surprise,

444
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: the top contender with the Steelers in the AFC North,

445
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 2: if you're going to beat them this year, take a

446
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: look at who leads the league and run defense, and

447
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 2: then take a look at who is thirty first in

448
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: pass defense this year, and tell me you're going to

449
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: get by throwing for one hundred and forty five yards

450
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 2: and running for one hundred and eighty three against the Ravens.

451
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen. You're just gonna pound your

452
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: head into a wall thirty five times if you try

453
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 2: that approach.

454
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 3: And same is probably true for much of the playoff competition.

455
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: You're gonna face right, you know right.

456
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to throw the football and throw it

457
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 2: effectively if you want to get where you want to go.

458
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: And I thought the key statement from Mike Tomlin at

459
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: his press conference on Tuesday is, look, we've been good.

460
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 2: Justin's been good, you know, and but we want to

461
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: be great, and to be great, you've got to be

462
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 2: able to provide more of a passing attack.

463
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: I agree one hundred percent. The only thing that you

464
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 4: know and I everything we're talking about could happen on Sunday.

465
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 4: I just don't know that it's necessary necessarily going to

466
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 4: happen this way. A change of the starter, you know,

467
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: and I'm not suggesting this, We're just kicking this around.

468
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 4: You know. Maybe you start fields and I'm not saying

469
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 4: I'm on a short leash or you know, any of

470
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 4: those negative connotations that seem to be attached to this

471
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 4: kind of stuff. But see how it goes. And you know,

472
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 4: if you need to go to Russell Wilson start the

473
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 4: second quarter, if you need to go to Russell Wilson

474
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 4: at halftime, if you need whenever, you need to go

475
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 4: to Russell Wilson. If you think that that's necessary, do it.

476
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 4: And just because you put him in doesn't mean then

477
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 4: he takes every snap on offense for the rest of

478
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 4: that game. Either, maybe you can have some packages, you know,

479
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 4: for justin fields. But you know, I again, I have

480
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 4: no doubt that it's going to happen. I think, excuse me,

481
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 4: I think it needs to happen. It's just a question

482
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 4: of when and how.

483
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 3: So what differences do you think you see? I'm not

484
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 3: talking about schematics, but you know, Dale and I have

485
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: mentioned maybe you see a little bit more of Austin

486
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 3: and Jefferson. You know, maybe you're going through your progressions

487
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 3: a little deeper you get to the third read as

488
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 3: opposed to taking it off and running. Maybe there's more

489
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 3: middle of the field passing. I absolutely think that the

490
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: not just a quarterback center exchange, but all the not

491
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 3: football stuff of getting things in and out of the

492
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: huddle is going to be a lot cleaner, you know,

493
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: all this, all those kind of schematics.

494
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 4: Sure, and you know, I think that another thing that

495
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 4: you know, Russell Wilson has done throughout his career. You know,

496
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 4: he throws with the anticipation and he's accurate, and you

497
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 4: know there's a lot of things that he sees I'm

498
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 4: sure quicker and more accurately than a lot of younger quarterbacks,

499
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 4: justin fields included. You know, the thing with fields, you know,

500
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 4: coming from Chicago was never that you know, were his

501
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 4: physical skills or his combination his skill set was that

502
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 4: lacking to make him a quality starting quarterback in the NFL.

503
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 4: But it was the recognition, you know, seeing it and

504
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 4: then whatever neurons you know, take it to you know,

505
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,239
Speaker 4: your arm where you recognize it and you get rid

506
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 4: of the ball, uh in a in a timely and

507
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 4: an accurate manner. I mean, this is this is what

508
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 4: quarterbacking in the at the NFL level is all about.

509
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 4: You have to be more than just accurate or excuse me,

510
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 4: you have to be more than just talented. You know,

511
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 4: the recognition part, the execution part, the understanding part, all

512
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 4: of that is critical. And you know, I'm not saying

513
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 4: that Justin Fields can't get it. I'm just saying it

514
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 4: right now, he doesn't give give to you in those

515
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 4: categories what Russell Wilson can give to you in those categories.

516
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 4: And let's not forget you know, the whole thing. To me,

517
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 4: the whole the key word about this whole season is now. Now.

518
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 4: Now they want to get to the playoffs, and now

519
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 4: they want to start winning playoff games. Now is when

520
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 4: you have this defense that you've invested a lot of

521
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 4: money in. Uh, you have dynamic playmakers on defense at

522
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 4: every level of your unit. And now is when you

523
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 4: have you know, a punter who is certainly not a liability.

524
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 4: I don't know that he's a weapon to the degree

525
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 4: that Johnston was, but Weightman is clearly an upgrade over

526
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 4: Prisley Harvin. You've got a placekicker who's making ninety five

527
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 4: percent and you're blocking kicks. I mean, I don't know,

528
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 4: you know, I don't research all this stuff, but you

529
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 4: can't tell me there's any special teams unit in the

530
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 4: league that has blocked two kicks already, a punt and

531
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 4: a field goal. Those are not That's not easy things.

532
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 4: Those are not easy things to do. And so you

533
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 4: have all of that. Now, what you're missing is what

534
00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 4: I would call, for lack of a better phrase, an

535
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 4: NFL caliber passing attack. And who knows, maybe Russell Wilson's

536
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 4: ability to recognize it and make anticipatory and accurate throws,

537
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 4: maybe that makes Van Jefferson a better player. Or Calvin Austin, yeah,

538
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,479
Speaker 4: or Pat Fryermuth, maybe it makes him a real weapon.

539
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 4: So uh, you know, again, there's no question in my

540
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 4: mind that this needs to happen. All I'm saying is

541
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 4: I don't know that I start Russell Wilson this Sunday

542
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 4: because you got Quinnon Williams against Ry McCollum, and I

543
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 4: want to see how that works out first before maybe

544
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: I put a guy out there with a calf that

545
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 4: might be one quick move away from, you know, a

546
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 4: season ending injury.

547
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 2: Bobby can't live in your fears.

548
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 4: Yes I can't. I have living proof that you can't do.

549
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 2: That, Bob. But changing gears here. This will be the

550
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 2: celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the nineteen seventy four

551
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: Super Bowl team. I'm assuming by now you've seen the

552
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: video that that the Steelers put out that that they

553
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: you know with Dynasty, Yeah, which was was great. If

554
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 2: you haven't watched that yet, you need to get over

555
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: to Steelers dot com or the Steelers YouTube channel and

556
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 2: watch that. Uh, those guys did a great job producing

557
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 2: that and and getting uh, you know a lot of

558
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: participation from from you know, the players on that team.

559
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: People forget Joe Gillham was for to one and one

560
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: as the starter that year and got bench back for

561
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: Terry Bradshaw. Terry Bradshaw was not the starting quarterback for

562
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers to open that season.

563
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 4: He was not. And let me let me just continue

564
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 4: and bench again. I was gonna say, uh, gill got

565
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 4: bench for Bradshaw, Bradshaw got bench for hand Ratty hand

566
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 4: Raddy got benched for Bradshaw. You know, it's that stuff happens.

567
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not always necessarily a smooth ride of

568
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 4: a season, you know, to to greatness, you know, pursuing greatness.

569
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 4: As Mike Colin mentioned in his news conference, now I'm

570
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 4: not predicting, you know, the kind of season for the

571
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 4: twenty twenty fourteen that the nineteen seventy fourteen had by

572
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 4: any means. I'm just saying that there's you know, the

573
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 4: thing about this that always kind of amuses me is

574
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 4: the longer time passes, the more all of the rough

575
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 4: spots are smoothed over, Like everybody thinks nobody remembers the

576
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 4: angst that was going on in the quarterback position. Well

577
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 4: that nineteen seventy fourteen, I mean, hand Rady, he was

578
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 4: they won a game in Cleveland. I think Hanrady threw

579
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 4: for I don't know, thirty eight yards or something at

580
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 4: two or three picks, and I mean it was ridiculously bad.

581
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 4: And Chuck Noll was legitimately looking for competent quarterback, yes, right,

582
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 4: and he was, and he was, you know, going back

583
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 4: and forth. He couldn't decide. And you know, Nolan was

584
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 4: a great coach, Hall of fame coach. He was in

585
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 4: the process of the greatest you know, resurrection projects since

586
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 4: Lazareth was brought back from the dead. So you know, again, uh,

587
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 4: I just think that there's too much now glossing over

588
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 4: a lot of the rough spots. As time passes and things,

589
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 4: things just aren't weren't as smooth as people might remember

590
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 4: them or believe they were. And uh, you know these

591
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 4: these decisions were made, and not necessarily one was made

592
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 4: and then that was the right one and there was

593
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 4: no other. You know, you didn't change from it. That

594
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 4: was it, you know you bench Gillen put in Bradshaw, Okay,

595
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 4: that was it. Well no, actually it wasn't because Bradshaw

596
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 4: stunk and they put in hand Rady who was worse.

597
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 4: So I don't know, I just that was a lot.

598
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 3: Sorry interrupt along those lines. At what point was Bradshaw

599
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 3: firmly the unquestioned starter? I mean, like even camp after

600
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: winning the Super Bowl? Was he clearly the guy? And

601
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 3: there was no controversy And you're just how bad was

602
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 3: he to start his career? Really? Really like the worst

603
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 3: starter league?

604
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 4: Right?

605
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I mean yeah.

606
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 4: You know Terry Bradshaw's passer ratings. It was my remembrance

607
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 4: is he did not have a season in which he

608
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 4: finished with more Touchdowes than interceptions until he had two

609
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 4: Super Bowl rings.

610
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: You're right, you are correct about that.

611
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 3: Times are different.

612
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 2: The team passer rating in nineteen seventy four and passer

613
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: ratings not to be all end all, but it's kind

614
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: of indicative of how the quarterbacks are playing the team

615
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: passer rating in nineteen seventy four was forty eight point nine.

616
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 2: Forty eight point nine. DeShawn Watson right now is better

617
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: than that?

618
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, And the other thing about Moll's quarterbacks,

619
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 4: they called their own plays. They called their own play.

620
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: They threw twelve touchdown passes in twenty one interceptions that

621
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 2: season and completed forty three percent of their passes and

622
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl.

623
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: But like when they went into the playoffs, was Bradshaw

624
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: the guy you know? Or is there he's still have

625
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 3: a short?

626
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 4: No, he was the guy at that point, I mean,

627
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 4: because it was just it had just become obvious that

628
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 4: the other two guys weren't okay. You know, whether whether

629
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 4: Terry Bradshaw was perceived to be a Hall of Famer

630
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 4: and waiting the seventy four playoffs, I would say definitely not.

631
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: But and this was his fifth year in the league.

632
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 2: Imagine if that happened today. We got teams giving up

633
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: on first round draft picks two years into their careers.

634
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: Young got benched in Carolina after basically fifteen starts or whatever.

635
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 4: Option, you know, And you know the and another thing, though,

636
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 4: you know, in favor of the way that things work

637
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 4: then was it was no free agency.

638
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: There's also no social media, which didn't happen that start either.

639
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 4: Certainly my life was better back, but I mean, so

640
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 4: you know, you didn't have to worry about a lot

641
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 4: of it. I think now, is he draft a quarterback?

642
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 4: You know you have him for four years, maybe five

643
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 4: if you exercises fifty year option.

644
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 2: I mean, and then he's gonna cost you like a

645
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: jillion dollars or not. Well, but I mean you have

646
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 2: to find out, but you have to know.

647
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, as you mentioned Bradshaw's fifth year, his fifth season

648
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 4: was the seventh was a seventy four season. They still

649
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 4: didn't know really towards the end of that season, as

650
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 4: I was mentioning, is Bradshaw a big time passing quarterback

651
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 4: or is he going to be a guy that we're

652
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 4: going to have to win with running game and defense with?

653
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 4: But you didn't have to worry about losing them to

654
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 4: free agency, so you could continue to build around him

655
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 4: while also not having to worry about losing any of

656
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 4: your defensive players to free agency. You didn't have to

657
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 4: worry about losing say one offseason else Greenwood, Joe Green,

658
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 4: and Jack Ham all signed as unrestricted free agents, and

659
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,479
Speaker 4: all of a sudden you're back to square one trying

660
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 4: to build something. Oh in mel Blood too, maybe.

661
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 3: Imagine Swan's class when they all come up to the

662
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 3: same ye right, So yeah.

663
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 4: You know it was it was a it was a

664
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 4: different era for sure. But you know, again, as I said,

665
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 4: I just I think people have a tendency to not

666
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 4: remember or not even really know a lot of the

667
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 4: trials and tribulations that teams that are you know, famous

668
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 4: now and exalted and worshiped, weren't that way when they

669
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 4: put the ball on the tee for the regular season opener,

670
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 4: all the way through. You know, when they carried Chuck

671
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 4: Bull off the field after winning the Super Bowl.

672
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 3: It wasn't built in the day, you know.

673
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 2: And right you mentioned Terry Hanratty's starting a game that

674
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 2: seasoning his stats for the year, he was three for

675
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: twenty six ninety five yards, one touchdown in five interceptions.

676
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 3: But if he wasn't maybe they never went the brand show.

677
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, right, you know, I don't. I mean again,

678
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 2: I think people do remember things differently. You know, it's

679
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: just a different era of football. And you know, you

680
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: watch the again, watch go back, go watch the film

681
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 2: that there, the video that was put together on Steelers

682
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: dot com or and just look at the hits that

683
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: take place in the league at that point. My god,

684
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 2: it was it was you know, you you would get

685
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: put in jail if you hit people like that.

686
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:35,959
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, you know, yes, there's there's I got absolutely

687
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 4: no nothing to disagree with there. But uh, you know again,

688
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 4: it was a it was a different sport then, uh,

689
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 4: and you know, yeah, but anyway back to the present.

690
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 4: You know, I think that this is a game, this

691
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 4: is I won't say the steel have to win it,

692
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 4: but I definitely believe that these next two games, you know,

693
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 4: you have opportunities to win both and six and two

694
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 4: after eight and maybe you have more knowledge or greater

695
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 4: comfort and how you're going to use your quarterbacks, you know,

696
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 4: moving forward, and you know, hey, everything is still sitting

697
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 4: right there in front of you and this whole team.

698
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 3: And I know we're Steeler centric, but I think it's

699
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 3: pretty close to a must win for the Jets. It

700
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 3: is dire times if you go to what two and five.

701
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the owner came out today yesterday at

702
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 2: the at the meetings down in Atlanta and said they're

703
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna kick you know what the rest of

704
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 2: the season. So, you know, after making the Devonte Adams trade.

705
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 2: So I think that coaching staff and is certainly unnotice

706
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 2: that they're all in. I mean, they got a bunch

707
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 2: of old guys. I think some of these guys actually

708
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 2: played against the nineteen seventy four Steelers who are on

709
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 2: the we're on this Jets roster, but they're in it

710
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 2: to win it this year.

711
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 4: Well, don't forget. You just fired the coach too, beyond

712
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 4: acquiring DeVante Adams. You know, you fired the coach, and

713
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 4: no one's going to convince me any of anything else. Uh,

714
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 4: general manager, you're general manager is also your starting quarterback

715
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 4: for the Jets.

716
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can, he can deny that all he wants.

717
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 2: But I mean, right if you're a friend of Aaron,

718
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 2: you're a friend of the Jets right now. Yes, that's

719
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 2: just the way it is.

720
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 4: They've got a lot of things. You know, they may

721
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 4: be in a win now mode and all of that stuff,

722
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 4: but they're also in significant transition. I can't imagine, you know,

723
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 4: the firing of the coach. Thing that has to have divided,

724
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 4: you know, that locker room, that organization a little bit

725
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 4: because I'm sure that that was not a move that

726
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 4: anybody saw it coming.

727
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 2: I agree, No, yeah, for sure.

728
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 4: So you know, when you when you do those kinds

729
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 4: of things, I think that and again I'm not I

730
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 4: don't know what if the Jets are gonna if there's

731
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 4: all kinds of turmoil or anything going on there. But

732
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, you don't. You don't fire a coach,

733
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 4: uh in the middle of the season like that and

734
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 4: there not be any lingering or residual things that you

735
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 4: have to deal with beyond you know, you just get

736
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 4: that guy out and put that guy in. Okay, now

737
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 4: everything is now humming along great. It's not like changing

738
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 4: a spark plug in your car. It immediately runs better.

739
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 4: So we're gonna see. But uh, you know, Aaron Rodgers

740
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 4: is forty years old. I'm hoping everybody wants to talk

741
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 4: about whether DeVante Adams is going to play on Sunday.

742
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 4: And let me tell you this, that hamps during his

743
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 4: he healed miraculously. His buddy, Aaron.

744
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: Rodgers I think laid hands on him and that fixed.

745
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,279
Speaker 4: But you know, beyond the Adams thing is you know,

746
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 4: is he gonna play or not Alex Heismith. Is he

747
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 4: gonna play or not? Because you know what they say

748
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 4: with farmers always say, you say you got to kill

749
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 4: the snake, cut the head off. So you want to

750
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 4: do something with the Jets offense, you take it out

751
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 4: on Aaron Rodgers and his forty year old body. Let's

752
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 4: see what we got. Do it clean, but do it

753
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 4: consistently and relentlessly, because that's the way I think, because

754
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 4: thinking you're going to cover all those people is delusional.

755
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 4: Bris sall Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams, the tight end Allan Lazard,

756
00:40:54,440 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 4: who is you know, Rogers, his buddy, his security blanket

757
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 4: covering all those eligible receivers. To me is you know

758
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 4: you're gonna try and do that. But I think a

759
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 4: much better approach is let's pound the snot out of

760
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 4: the forty year old and see what he can handle,

761
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 4: because I just don't believes he's what he was. He

762
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 4: can't be he's forty years old.

763
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 2: That's a good place to end that, Bob, because well

764
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 2: we're all over forty. So there we go. We're not

765
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: what we were about what we used to do.

766
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 4: All I could be Aaron Rodgers's.

767
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: Dad, I guess technically I could too, but that's been

768
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 2: i'd had to get well. You know, I wouldn't have

769
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 2: had to do that.

770
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 3: I was one during that nineteen seventy four seasons, so

771
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 3: that's why it makes me feel young.

772
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 4: I got him. I got a message for you, Matt,

773
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,080

786
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: both teams. For the Steelers, Naujie Harris did not practice

787
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: day dealing with some rib stuff, but he's given the

788
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: last Wednesday Audio. Well, yeah, Demantekz with the ankle did

789
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: not practice. Nick Herbig with the hamstring did not practice.

790
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 2: He's already been declared out. Zach Fraser with the ankle

791
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: did not practice, already been declared out. Alex Highsmith with

792
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 2: the groin limited today trending in the right direction. I

793
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 2: expect him to play. Isaac Samolo given the day off

794
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 2: to rest. Michael Pruitt with the knee, was a full

795
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 2: participant in practice today, and then Cordell Patterson with the

796
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 2: ankle was the other one who did not practice, resting

797
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 2: today with t J Watt, Cam Hayward and Larry Ogan Joby.

798
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 3: Do you think there's a chance Herbig Patterson Fraser played

799
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: next week? Too too early to tell.

800
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 2: I would say more likely on Patterson and KZ than

801
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 2: or who is herbig I'm sorry Herbig Thaneah.

802
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 3: At least he avoided injury reserve.

803
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Fraser probably looking at maybe coming out

804
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 2: of the bye week. Okay, that would be three weeks. Yeah.

805
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 2: Looking at the Jets side of things, uh Nickel corner

806
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 2: Michael Carter with a back injury did not practice. Cornerback

807
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: DJ Reed with a groin did not practice. I don't

808
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 2: know that he the stuff that I saw out of

809
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 2: New York, out of their some of their writers, doesn't

810
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 2: look like either one of those two are gonna play.

811
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 3: Which is huge. I mean that's there, that'd be like

812
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 3: even better. I mean it's kind of like Jackson's their read. Yeah,

813
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 3: and a good, really high end slot corner.

814
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

815
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 3: You know.

816
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers with an ankle did not practice today.

817
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 3: I bet he's a little sore.

818
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 2: I bet he is took some hits. Mike Williams, not

819
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 2: injury related, personal, did not practice. I wonder if they

820
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 2: just told him to stay away. We don't want you

821
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 2: to we don't want you around. We don't want your

822
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 2: kind round here no more.

823
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 3: I wonder if he's getting traded.

824
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's well, I definitely guarantee you they're trying to trade.

825
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 2: Tyler Conklin, with a hip injury, was limited, as was

826
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 2: Will McDonald with a shoulder limited. Their best edge pass rusher,

827
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,720
Speaker 2: Morgan Moses with a knee limited. It's their starting right tackle.

828
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 2: Tyrone Smith, the other start starting left tackle, was given

829
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 2: a day off the rest Chas has a heel injury.

830
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 2: He's their only back up inside linebacker. He was limited

831
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 2: today and then DeVante Adams what the ham string was

832
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 2: a full participant.

833
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean he's there and he's doing everything as

834
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 3: we suspected. Yeah, he's right to roll.

835
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 2: The hands of God came down and he's just going

836
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 2: to be fine. Laid upon him and suddenly the hamstring

837
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,280
Speaker 2: was healed, Diamn heeled.

838
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 3: He's all right. I'm sure he'll play a lot in

839
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 3: this game. I assume there's a lot of the same

840
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 3: verbiage when they were in Green Bay together. If not,

841
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 3: Rogers will just tell him that version of it. Yeah, Yeah,

842
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 3: I think he'll figure out quickly what to do.

843
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. So that's the injury situation for both teams right now.

844
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 2: What better idea on some of the stuff tomorrow? I

845
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 2: would expect some of these guys who didn't practice to

846
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 2: get back, But from what I'm hearing, Rogers is expected

847
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: to practice tomorrow. But Carter and Reed or not.

848
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, said the Jets Corners, I think is the conversation.

849
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 2: That's the strength of their defense. Pretty good defense, a

850
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 2: pretty good defense overall. But they'll do everything that they

851
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 2: do is based on the fact that they can play

852
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 2: coverage on the back end because of those those three cornerbacks,

853
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 2: and if they don't have two of them, it might

854
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 2: be the best trio in the league. Yeah, it makes

855
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 2: things interesting. M m oh, no doubt.

856
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 3: And again that might be more Austin Jefferson, et cetera.

857
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 3: To attack the depth guys who aren't really named dudes either.

858
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean looking at it, here the the the backups,

859
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 2: the backup cornerbacks. Brandon eccles is the backup spot, he's

860
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 2: the slot. And then you've got Kwantes Stiggers, who was

861
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 2: a rookie this year, but an older rookie who played

862
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 2: in the What the XFL.

863
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 3: So I think he went from CFL to XFL. He's

864
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 3: got a weird We talked about him on draft he

865
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 3: was a fifth round pick and then Jeric Bernard Converse

866
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 3: and that I don't don't know who. Yeah, that's what

867
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 3: they've got. You have to challengees.

868
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: We already know Chuck Clark is out, he went on

869
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 2: irty S week. I assume Ashton Davis and slides into

870
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 2: that starting strong, stinking Yeah. So their secondary is a

871
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 2: little little bound.

872
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

873
00:46:58,280 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 2: Again, that's the strength of the defense.

874
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 3: They don't usually travel sauce, but I think I would

875
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 3: if I were them in considering the matchup.

876
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 2: Match what the question becomes, can the other guys if

877
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 2: you are traveling, can Stiggers Let's assume it's Stiggers who started.

878
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 2: I would assuming it is, Yeah, can he? Is he

879
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 2: capable of flipping sides? If that happens, you know, you

880
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 2: break the huddle and heat and Okay, Sauce is going

881
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 2: to the to the left side, Well I got to

882
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 2: play right side.

883
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: Now you could have more communication issues. Yeah, would you

884
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 3: play more eleven of the Steelers just to have three

885
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 3: corners on the field as much as possible. It's not

886
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 3: really what Steelers do.

887
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 2: It's not what they do, right, but quarterback, I wouldn't

888
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 2: be opposed to it, right right, I mean, or I

889
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 2: mean even you know, getting them and where they just

890
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 2: have the two corners in a safety make them get bigger. Again,

891
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 2: I mentioned Chas for rats on that list there beat

892
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 2: them up a little bit. I don't know that they

893
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 2: have necessarily you know, the.

894
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 3: They want to play nickel too.

895
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 4: Yeah.

896
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 2: The defensive line depth is okay, but it's not outstanding

897
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 2: is what it has been has been waves and they're

898
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 2: a little light on it now, especially on the edges.

899
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, and They want to play with two linebackers on

900
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 3: the field, like it's a Niners defense. I remember Robert

901
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 3: s Laws. It's his defense. Defense been good under him.

902
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 3: They want to play with you know, Greenlaw and Mourner

903
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 3: every snap.

904
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 4: You know.

905
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see. He is Matt Williamson. I am Dale, Lolly.

906
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 2: You're listening to the drive here on the Steelers Audio Network.

907
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 2: We're going to do it. Get to a break here.

908
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 2: That's going to do it for our number one of

909
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 2: the drive, Matt and I'll be back with our number

910
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 2: two right after this.
