| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, everyone. I'm Matt Williamson. How's it going this fine day? Things are good on my end. I hope they're good with you. |
| 0:15.2 | A couple things I want to touch on today is the, I have a little chart here, or a graph, I guess it is, that pro football |
| 0:25.1 | focus puts out every week. And I decided just to kind of clip it, cut it and paste it. I threw |
| 0:29.9 | it up on Twitter because it's so distinct. And frankly, every year, the Steelers are in this neck of the woods. |
| 0:39.3 | And what it is in case you're not looking at it, but I'm going to include it whenever I |
| 0:43.5 | like file the podcast and I think that they'll be able to have it here for you to see if you |
| 0:49.2 | want. |
| 0:50.1 | But it is a one axis. |
| 0:53.6 | Again, I am not a math major or a graph expert, is total points, |
| 0:58.8 | this is all EPA stuff, but still, it just shows how strong they are. |
| 1:03.7 | Total points gained through turnovers is the vertical axis, where on the other side, on the horizontal access, their axis, |
| 1:14.3 | I hope I'm saying this stuff right. Again, I talk football, is total points gained on special |
| 1:19.5 | teams. And so you want to be in the top right quadrant. I mean, if you're in the left top quadrant, that means you're really good |
| 1:30.4 | on turnovers, you're not good on special teams. You know, see what I'm saying? I think you guys can |
| 1:34.5 | figure that out. You don't want to be in the bottom left quadrant. That means you're bad at both. |
| 1:38.9 | Well, the Steelers stand so far ahead of everyone else in the top right right quadrant where you want to be. |
| 1:48.0 | So like if you just look at points gain through turnovers, the only ones that are even in competition |
| 1:54.3 | with them are the Jags who are basically equal and the bears are ahead of everybody. |
| 1:59.7 | They've caused the most turnovers in the league. |
| 2:01.9 | So the Steelers are top three in that regard. And then special teams as a whole, |
| 2:08.1 | they're top two. It looks like Washington's ahead of them. They're slightly above Seattle. |
| 2:13.3 | They're slightly above Minnesota. So they stand alone in really the, the depth, the definition of hidden yardage. |
