| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. I'm Matt Williamson at Williamson NFL. As I've been telling you, I will probably be at mini-camp when you're listening to this. I'm recording it on Memorial Day. |
| 0:15.1 | Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. I got a lot of stuff going on. I just want to knock this out quick, probably just a five, ten or ten minute, you know, conversation today. But I am excited to get down to |
| 0:24.9 | a minicamp, see these rookies in particular, body types, as I've mentioned. And you're not |
| 0:30.2 | to get sick of it, but I'm going to come back to a time and time again that I think you guys |
| 0:34.1 | that have listened know that my two big goals are increasing yards per carry for the Steelers from last year, up to like the 4-2-4-3 range, and frankly, leading the league in sacks. |
| 0:48.3 | And we're going to stress the second part of that today. |
| 0:51.2 | I mean, sack differential is a real strong component to winning teams. And their sack |
| 1:03.0 | differential was minus nine, which means Steelers' quarterbacks are sacked nine more times |
| 1:09.6 | than they produced. And a lot of that I'll tell |
| 1:13.1 | you is on the quarterbacks. We've talked about that before. But that's only better than six teams, |
| 1:17.8 | minus nine. And they're all bad teams. You know, that's not going to cut it. So again, I'm stressing |
| 1:23.8 | the defensive side of things today. They ended up with a sack percentage, percentage of dropbacks that end up in a Steelers' defensive sack. |
| 1:36.7 | 6.3%. |
| 1:38.5 | That's 18th. |
| 1:40.3 | I mean, just exact middle of the road. |
| 1:44.0 | Pressure rate of 34% is 16th, exactly middle of the road. |
| 1:50.8 | You know, like, that ain't going to cut it. |
| 1:53.4 | And again, some of that is situational. |
| 1:56.5 | You know, the Aaron Rogers game, the ball came out super quick. |
| 1:59.8 | Okay, but it's 17 games. |
| 2:03.0 | And average time to throw against the Steelers was near the shortest in the league, |
| 2:08.2 | but not in the top five or so. |
