00:00 Here's the thing.
00:03 I just let me ask you this.
00:05 How does it if let's let's go through the game playing game flow.
00:09 If I'm Pittsburgh I get the ball first drive whatever it is.
00:13 75 yards.
00:14 Oh you want to push.
00:15 You want to obviously push tempo.
00:17 You want to see if that passing attack can can travel on the road right.
00:21 They put up 30 points against Seattle last week.
00:24 That was a back and forth game.
00:25 They jump out early.
00:26 They had to hold on to win that ball game by seven points.
00:29 You have that they beat two pretty good teams.
00:32 I don't know about elite teams but Cincinnati and Seattle are above average.
00:38 They put up 30 points plus on both of them.
00:41 But do you wait do you wait out the Baltimore Ravens starters that might be in the game
00:45 still.
00:46 You know let's just hang in early because I know in the second half half this football
00:49 team isn't even coming out here.
00:50 Do I want to press it and turn the football over make it a game where the Ravens go.
00:53 We can actually win.
00:54 Well I think.
00:55 Or do I just take a small lead at the half and be like you know what second half we're
00:57 going to dominate.
