What highlights did Chris Hoke share about the Steelers' recent performance?
I just showed Hokie the highlight of Florida's 7'9 center. Comes off the bench. Only hardly ever plays. Olivier Rieu. Olivier Rieu. He had his first field goal last night. 7'9. Did you see the highlights, Limits? No, I did not see him score, but he is legitimately the size of a doorframe. Hokie, what do you make of this? Would a 7'9 guy be able to play football at all, like maybe block a field goal? Maybe block a field goal, but can he get down low like that? How flexible is he? There's no way he could play a whole line. I think at 7'9", he would have a very challenging time getting leverage. Think about a James Harrison. Or about McCullers. Think about a James Harrison going against a guy like this 7'9 guy, and it would be a clinic.
Harrison would lift him. He would just press him. If you're 6'9", which is probably the tallest player in NFL history. Well, Alvin Nuevo, right? Alvin Nuevo, 6'9". You're giving up a foot to this guy. And it's still challenging. You've got to be very, very technically sound because for you to get low, you're going against D-line and D-ins who play with leverage. And if you're not low and you get underneath these guys, I always taught my boys who play football, you know, Lincoln going to Pitt, that if you're crown of your helmets above the chin of the offensive guy, You're too high. You won't keep your crown underneath the chin of the offensive player. Same thing in basketball, boxing out, is it not? Low man wins.
And, of course, leverage, right? You have an inside position and all that. But absolutely low man wins. You can root somebody out. But as a defensive player, if your helmet is above the chin, the crown of your helmet is above the chin of the offensive blocker, you're not going to do anything. You're going to get knocked. You're going to get blocked. Chris Hoke, Super Bowl champion, has entered the studio. He's brought to you by Globe Airport Parking. Globe. They did me good again last week, Starkey. What happened? I flew out westward after the show, actually Thursday night, and went to their place there in Moon at Globe Airport Parking. And, man, it was incredible. I got there, jumped right on the shuttle.
In less than 10 minutes, I was at the airport. And I was running tight, too, because I had to move my flight up because my flight at 630 was delayed. And so I moved my flight up on Southwest at 4.30, and my guy just flew. He got me there. He hustled me there, dropped me off. So what happens? Give me the mechanics of the situation. The mechanics of what? You park, and then what happens? Yeah, I park, and usually they're waiting for you. If you can call and set an appointment, just let them know you're coming. And you walk in, you give them your keys, you go. That's a beautiful thing. Bro, here's the crazy thing. So I got home Sunday night about 11.30 at night. Remember it snowed over the weekend, right? Yeah.
Come to the airport. I walk right out to the terminal. They're there waiting for me. I called them and I landed. And then they take me back to their place there in Moon, which is less than 10 minutes away. My car is running. My seat warmers are on, heaters on, and it's warm. So if I were to park at the airport, I'd walk into a cold car. I'd have to scrape my windows. It was clean. And listen, it was warm. I jumped in, took off. I was out of there within 30 seconds. I got my bags, threw them in the back, and went home. Holy ostrich milk. It's awesome, man. Tim Ada does a great job. The owner of the place is incredible. I know him. You know him, Tim? Yeah. You don't know him. You're saying that. Yes, I do. His daughters went to the same elementary school as mine.
I coached both his daughters in basketball. Well, of course you did. Emily and Olivia. Yeah, and he's great. And so it's a wonderful place to put your car. He also plays golf, I might add. Does he play golf? Yeah. Is he better than you? Yes, but everybody is. Except for me. No, but I'll just say this real quick and we can move on.
How did Chris Hoke evaluate Derrick Harmon’s impact as a rookie?
But I just think that I never tapped into that until they started sponsoring the show.
