00:00Beyond that, there is an element of this game we have not spent enough time talking about,
00:03and that is Patrick Graham is the defensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:08Zoe said for years, man, the Steelers just do what they do.
00:11The Patriots have always had success against the Steelers.
00:14Well, now that's kind of changed, hasn't it?
00:16Yep.
00:16And he's had success against Josh McDaniel's coached offenses in the past.
00:20So I would say it goes from, and like, you got to remember when Tomlin became the head coach,
00:27he retained Dick LeBeau as the defensive coordinator, and so there legitimately was no change.
00:34Call of favor.
00:35Right.
00:35And so, like, they, I mean, and this is a credit to Tomlin,
00:38they wound up going to two Super Bowls and winning one with LeBeau as the coordinator,
00:43so he obviously made the right choice.
00:46In this case, it's a new system coming in.
00:49I do think, like, I'd say, like, in certain ways, the Patriots and Steelers
00:56had a similar athletic profile for what they were looking for in their front.
01:00They just deployed the guys differently.
01:02And that's why a Pat Graham can come in and run that Patriot-type of system
01:07with Steeler-type players.
01:08Because I think athletically, Zoe, would you agree?
01:10I think you'd agree with this.
01:11Like, athletically, they're kind of looking for the same things.
01:15Big guys up front, hard edges, like linebackers who can run the show.
01:19It's different, but it's still, like, they do what they do.
01:20Like, my point is that.
01:21I know they're, like, a little bit more exotic,
01:23and I think they were easier to pick apart when Brady was going against Roethlisberger.
01:27But they just want to line up and kick your ass.
