Speaker 4: Here's the whole, here's the boot by Boswell forty five

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 4: yarder and it is no good wide.

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 5: Right Chris Boswell.

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 4: He had a slip that caused a missed field goal.

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 5: He had a block field goal.

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: This is his first real true miss of the season

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 4: for forty five yards.

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what kind of night it was. Even Boswell

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 3: missed one. Last night, the Steelers lose to the Chargers

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: twenty five to ten Sunday Night Football. I still think

17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 3: the most interesting thing in the broadcast was the Chargers

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 3: owner eating popcorn.

19
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: You just never see a guy like that.

20
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 3: You never see a billionaire just sitting there looking like

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: a slob, mixing it up like he's hammered, fisting popcorn

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: to the face. Rob King joining us right now, and Rob,

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 3: may I comment on your attire and Noah's okay, No

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 3: is okay.

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 4: I asked Jacob, Jacob, do I need to change out

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 4: of this?

27
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: And he said no, no, because he knew what we

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: would do. He knew it was good for the.

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 6: Show Classic robe King Rob is in his robe?

30
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: Oh wow, And let me tell you, it's like, you know,

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 4: Rob is in his robe.

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: That's when that's what he's really feeling it.

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, now that I think about it, I

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: prefer you didn't mention that. Okay, okay, thank you.

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

36
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 6: Strike it from the record.

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah sure, no one will remember.

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: Uh, I didn't screenshot it, I promise three times. Uh,

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 3: Kinger last night. I I think you can easily just

40
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: point the finger at Aaron Rodgers' performance as the primary

41
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: reason why things did not go well for the Steelers

42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: last night.

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's quite that simple.

44
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 4: Well no, but I mean, you know, he he after

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 4: the game, he said he needed to be better.

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 5: And you know, I listen.

47
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 4: I thought his postgame comments were exactly right. You know,

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 4: I think that he said he needed to be better.

49
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: I also think that the you know, it didn't feel

50
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 4: like there were a lot of guys open for whatever reason,

51
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 4: So I think that was an issue. I don't think

52
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 4: the protection was great, so I think that was an issue.

53
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: I just think there were there were a lot of

54
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 4: problems with the team last night. And but you know,

55
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 4: there's there was also it was uncharacteristic to see Aaron Rodgers,

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 4: who I think is the greatest thrower of the football

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: of all time, you know, not beyond target a couple

58
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: of times. Now I forget the dec a metcalf throw,

59
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 4: you know, the one to John new Smith. Now you know,

60
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 4: also he had one interception went right through the hands

61
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 4: of Calvin Anderson. But you know, there was there were

62
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 4: you know, I didn't feel like that there were a

63
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: lot of chargers open either. You know, I thought Herbert

64
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: made some really good throws and I think, you know this,

65
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 4: this isn't gonna be one that Aaron's gonna remember as one.

66
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 5: Of the great games of his career.

67
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 4: But again, and you know, he was asked, hey, did

68
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: you step up in the pocket too soon? He said,

69
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 4: I don't know, I gotta go back and look at

70
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: the tape, and so I would my response would be

71
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 4: the same. I don't know whether he was stepping into pressure,

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: but there was certainly pressure.

73
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 5: So you're right, it's.

74
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 4: Not just him, but it's also you know, the games

75
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: he's played this year, it's it's the one that is

76
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 4: not has not been good. I think he's been terrific

77
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 4: for the for this Steelers, I mean, fantastic, but.

78
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 5: Not last night. And but again he wasn't alone.

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: Steelers defense trying to build off of an impressive performance

80
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: against the Colts last night. I mean, not a lot

81
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: complain about when you're holding Justin Herban Company to twelve

82
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: points in the first half and three of those coming

83
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 3: or seven of them rather coming off a late turnover

84
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: in that second quarter, By and large, what's your assessment

85
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: of the defense?

86
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 5: I thought the defense was fine, Frankly, I really did.

87
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 5: I didn't. I didn't think the defense.

88
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: You know, if I'm looking at this loss, it's because

89
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 4: the offense didn't.

90
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 5: Get anything going. I mean they didn't they didn't move.

91
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 5: The ball was three and out, three and out, three

92
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 5: and out, three and out.

93
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: You know, they gave you know, they gave him, you know,

94
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: a good field position, so you know, missed field goals

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 4: and you know, of course the Steelers had a good

96
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 4: field position too, but they didn't capitalize on it. I

97
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 4: just think they put way too much pressure on the defense.

98
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: The defense could have done a better job stopping by Dell.

99
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: You know, I thought, again, this reminded me a little

100
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 4: bit of the Cincinnati game in which you know, maybe

101
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 4: you didn't expect the running game to be terrific. Although

102
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 4: Videll has two hundred yard games in his four starts

103
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 4: and he had another good game last night, he wasn't great.

104
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: He wasn't the reason they lost. I don't think the

105
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: defense was the reason the loss. I think the offense

106
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 4: not sustaining drives, the offense not getting first downs, the

107
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: offense turning the ball over. That's what cost the team,

108
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 4: and that's what cost the defense.

109
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: I was talking to Jerry d about this last hour,

110
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: and it seems to me that they don't run the

111
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 3: offense through Jalen Warren enough. I would like to see

112
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: them be a run first offense and have Aaron Rodgers

113
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: throw the ball twenty two times a game instead of

114
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: thirty one or whatever he had last night. He plays

115
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: with this desperation of ferocity. He made some plays last

116
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: night that nobody else in that backfield is capable of

117
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: doing for them. Caleb Johnson's still struggling, by the way,

118
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: and that was somebody the preseason that they had placed

119
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: a lot of faith in was going to be able

120
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: to carry the lion's share of what we were missing

121
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: in Nagy's absence. That being said, Jalen Warren has more

122
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: than made up for that with his performance. Didn't you

123
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: think with Arthur Smith's love of tight ends, this was

124
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: going to be a lot of running and a lot.

125
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: Of thrown to the tight end.

126
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 3: I hardly noticed Johnny Smith, and I don't think we

127
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 3: go to Jaalen enough.

128
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 4: We had fourteen carries right for seventy yards, and he's

129
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: had fifteen or more touches in every game so far

130
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: this season.

131
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: I know what you're saying, Randy.

132
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: I think he should have like twenty five touches.

133
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 5: It wouldn't bother me in the least.

134
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: And I'll also say this, I think that they I

135
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: understand what you're saying about Caleb Johnson, but I think

136
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: the fact that they signed Jalen Warren to a contract

137
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 4: extension let you know that Caleb Johnson was going to

138
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: be slow rolled into this offense. And that's exactly what's happened.

139
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 4: And they signed Kenneth Gainwell. They really like Kenneth Gainwell.

140
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 4: They think he's out an outstanding third down back, and

141
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 4: I think going into last night's game, he was the

142
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: team second leading receiver for the season In terms of receptions.

143
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: I love Jalen Warren. He was very effective last night.

144
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 4: But when you you know, are facing third and three

145
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 4: and you're like, well, I should we throw it or

146
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 4: run it? Well, let's throw it incomplete, incomplete, incomplete, incomplete,

147
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: three and out, three and out, three and out, you

148
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 4: only run fifty plays, and you know a lot of

149
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 4: those were those fifty plays were late in the game

150
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: where you had to throw. You know, I understand what

151
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: you're saying, and I would love to see more of

152
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: Jalen Warren.

153
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 5: But it's a chicken and egg thing, like.

154
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 4: You've got to get first downs to see more of

155
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: Jalen Warren. I mean, you've got to have the ball longer.

156
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 4: You know, there was a there was a sequence when

157
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 4: the students went forward on fourth down and didn't get it.

158
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: So Jalen Warren ran right, picked up four yards second

159
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 4: and six, and they had looked to me like they

160
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: had a pitch play called the Jalen Warren to the right.

161
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: But Aaron Rodgers saw dk metcalf in single coverage. So

162
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 4: I want Aaron Rodgers to be able to do air

163
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers things I don't want to sell if he

164
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 4: can't do any you know, we don't want you checking

165
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 4: out of this play. Well, he thinks he's got dk

166
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: metcalf for a slant for a touchdown. Bud dupreez coming

167
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 4: off that edge, Rogers gets the ball. Everybody flows right,

168
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: he stops, turns around, and bud dupree doesn't rush.

169
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's just standing there.

170
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: So, like, I mean, I don't want Aaron Rodgers to

171
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 4: not go for what his experience tells him to go for.

172
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 4: We've been lauding his ability to diagnose this at the

173
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 4: offensive line, and that was one where he diagnosed it.

174
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 4: And you know, now in retrospect he pitches it to

175
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 4: Jail and Warren. You know, now maybe he picks up

176
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: three yards. It's third and three and then you know

177
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 4: you're thinking four down territory. Maybe you run it twice there.

178
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 5: I don't know. But it was just, you know, it

179
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 5: was not only it was not only uh.

180
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: You know, the poor execution. It was a little bit

181
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 4: of bad luck. I mean, like, that's just bad luck.

182
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 4: What are you going to do? I mean, that's just

183
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 4: I don't you know, I don't want him to not

184
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: say I've got a slant for a time touchdown and

185
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: do that, so I understand what you're saying. I love

186
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 4: Jalen Warren. I think he's a terrific back. I agree

187
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 4: with everything you said. He fights to the absolute until

188
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 4: his face is in the ground. He is still churning

189
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 4: those legs. I love the way he runs. I mean,

190
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 4: he brought a roar from the crowd in that first

191
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 4: run of the second half when he leapt over the

192
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 4: defender Cam Hart. You know, I love Jalen Warren, but

193
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: they've got to get more first downs to get Jayal

194
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: and Warren more involved.

195
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 7: Well what if they do that by raising Randy's other

196
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 7: point by activating the pass catching tight ends. Because Joni

197
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 7: Smith had eight touchdowns and eighty eight catches last year,

198
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 7: and he is he disappears for stretches of games. Pat Fryarmuth.

199
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 7: We all thought, all right, well, now that you have

200
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 7: a real lover of the throw, thrower of the football,

201
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 7: a lover of the game, you're gonna you're gonna see

202
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 7: Pat Fryarmuth get activated. And that hasn't happened except when

203
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 7: he's playing against the Bengals. Are you getting enough from

204
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 7: the tight ends?

205
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 5: Well, you know, just been going back to last week.

206
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 5: The receivers.

207
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 4: I think the receivers caught nine balls and the tight

208
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 4: ends caught ten balls, So they're utilizing the tight ends more.

209
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 4: And I understand what you're saying, Bill, because I thought

210
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: John new Smith, I thought it was gonna be DK

211
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 4: Metcalf was gonna be the clear number one, and I

212
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 4: thought John new Smith was probably gonna be the clear

213
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 4: number two based on exactly what you're talking about, what

214
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 4: he did last year with the eighty eight catches. Now

215
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 4: they don't throw the ball enough to have anybody get

216
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: eighty eight catches or don't want to.

217
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 5: Throw the ball enough.

218
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: I really think, and I've said this before, I really

219
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: think it's just gonna be week to week. DK Metcalf's

220
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: gonna get his targets. He's the number one guy, and

221
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 4: then week to week, you know it's gonna be Okay,

222
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 4: it's Calvin Austin's turn, it's Darnell Washington's turn. It is

223
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 4: you know, Darnell's been a pretty you know, I mean,

224
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: they've targeted him, but you know, it feels like he's

225
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 4: targeting more because I think he's a big guy and

226
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 4: he's fun and we like when he gets the ball.

227
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 4: But you know, he's it's not like he's gonna have,

228
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 4: you know, fifty catches this year either. I just think

229
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 4: it's going to be matchup based. I think they're going

230
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: to work the ball around. But again, this has been

231
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: a problem for this Yeelers. It just it was a

232
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 4: bigger problem last night because it was so evident and

233
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 4: so obvious. The three and outs. I think they have

234
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 4: the fourth highest percentage of three and outs in the league.

235
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 4: It's something to that degree. By the way, the Chargers

236
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 4: had the fewest amount. I thought the Steelers defense did

237
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: a good job. They had the fewest three and outs

238
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 4: in the league. I thought the Steelers did. The defense

239
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: for the most part, did a good job. The Steers

240
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 4: have got to find a way to get more first downs.

241
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 4: They just it's three and out, three and out, three

242
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 4: and out, and last night it just killed them.

243
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: Did to Shawn Williams muff on that punt late in

244
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: the game open the door to put Austin back to

245
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 3: return punts and give a helmet to MVS next week

246
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 3: against the Bengals.

247
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 5: That's a great question.

248
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 4: I hadn't thought about it, but you know, Calvin Austin's

249
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 4: an electrifying punt returner and and you know, I think

250
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 4: it was great that Kishaw Williams could take that off

251
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 4: of his plate. But it's pretty clear from how many

252
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 4: snaps he's getting at the receiver position that he's a returner, right,

253
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 4: So that's what you want him to do, and you

254
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 4: know they did put him back out there again to

255
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 4: return kicks. I just think that that'll be an interesting

256
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 4: decision because the one thing a coach has to be

257
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: able to do, regardless.

258
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 5: Of position, he has to trust you. And so that

259
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 5: is that going to take away the trust?

260
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: I don't know, because Keishawn Williams, you know, when he's

261
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 4: at the ball in his hands, he's been fantastic too.

262
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: He has looked electric and also also has worried me.

263
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: Although as I've said, I don't know that there's been

264
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 3: a stealer returning returner in twenty years that I haven't

265
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: worried was going to fumble except Ab like Ab was,

266
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: I don't even.

267
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 6: He might kick a guy in the face, but he's

268
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 6: not going to FuMB.

269
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 5: That, right.

270
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 3: There will be an assault on the field before a fumble.

271
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and it's the special team for the

272
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 4: Steelers was a big edge coming into this game, when

273
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: you looked at the in tangibles, you know, you said, look,

274
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 4: the Students are plus eight in the turnover margin, one

275
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 4: of the best in the league. The Chargers are minus four.

276
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 4: The Chargers are susceptible at the big returns. The Students

277
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 4: have very buttoned up special teams in it. Both teams

278
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: have great kickers. Okay, well, both teams miskicks. But the

279
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 4: edge did not go to.

280
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 5: The Steelers in special teams.

281
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 4: And that was unexpected because the Steelers special teams have

282
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 4: been solid and the Chargers special teams have not. And

283
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 4: they lost the turnover battle three to nothing. You know,

284
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 4: you don't and you know the one thing that you know,

285
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin in his postgame press conference, the one thing

286
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 4: that just ranked truest to me of all was if

287
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: you don't get first downs and you lose the turnover

288
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 4: battle three to nothing.

289
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 5: You're not gonna win. You're not gonna win. It's as

290
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 5: simple as that.

291
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: Where with Rob King, a power hour of Steeler Talk

292
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 3: this morning here on the DV Morning Show and Abby.

293
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: This first half hour is brought to you by whom

294
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: your neighborhood Ford STORER. The F one fifty is the

295
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 2: official truck of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

296
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: All right, thank you, and Kinger, I want to ask

297
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 3: your permission here if I can hijack the power hour

298
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: for a second.

299
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: Because it is the fiftieth.

300
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 5: Anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund.

301
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: Fitzgerald's today, right, So here's as we go into the

302
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: commercial break, a couple of quick tidbits about the wreck

303
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: of the Edmund Fitzgerald. There were twenty eight people on board.

304
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: Six of them were going to retire at the end

305
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: of this trip, including the captain. He was doing one

306
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: more run to get money for his wife's medical bills.

307
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 6: How about it's like Rogers, the.

308
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: Trip was supposed to not happen because they were going

309
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 3: to Did you see wins when you say uh? The

310
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: ship was supposed to be put in dry dock a

311
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: week before the storm. But the company's like, ah, we

312
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: can push through a couple more times.

313
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 5: No, you can't.

314
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: The captain decided to go further north on Lake Superior,

315
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: Bill and what happened there?

316
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: Bad move, terrible move. Let the storm build.

317
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: And that's where they went wrong because he came close

318
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: to the island in the middle of the Lake Superior,

319
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 3: and then likely took water on there by hitting the ground,

320
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: and then that was basically all she wrote.

321
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: And did you know.

322
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: Rob, You're not allowed to go down there anymore. They

323
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: don't let people go dive in. That's like a grave site.

324
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 5: Interesting. I saw you, I saw you post something.

325
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: Of course I want to say, Fellas, it's good, good

326
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 4: to know you, but I'll be back next seen but

327
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 4: you posted something. There's there's a really good documentary on this.

328
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: There's a couple of them.

329
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah I had there's the in the ones an hour

330
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: and ones like forty five minutes, and there's like these

331
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 3: people from all of these Great Lakes museums around there

332
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 3: who were kind of arguing what they think actually happened

333
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: to it.

334
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 6: It's just just this was.

335
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: A perfect storm.

336
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: But here's the crazy stat there were in one hundred

337
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: years on the Great Lakes between eighteen seventy five and

338
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy five, six thousand shipwrecks, six thousand one a day.

339
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: For one hundred years, thirty thousand people drowned in one

340
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: hundred years since they dmend Fitzgerald went down zero.

341
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 6: Wow, that's hard to believe.

342
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: None.

343
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: Because technology improved after that. They did a resurveying of

344
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: the ground underneath to have a more accurate assessment of

345
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 3: what you know they were sailing over. And also companies

346
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: were like, if we send people out and they die,

347
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: we get sued.

348
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: We can't just blame it on them, which.

349
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: Is what the insurance company that ran the Edmond Fitzgerald

350
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 3: tried to do. They tried to say human error, this

351
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: isn't on us. He piloted it wrong. So pretty despicable

352
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: stuff there. But it is crazy that this shipwreck that

353
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 3: I only knew because of the Damn song has so

354
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 3: many fascinating elements to it, and you can go check

355
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: them out if you want. I still think it should

356
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 3: be a Hollywood movie. I really do.

357
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: Maybe it will be.

358
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 3: It'll be It'll probably be all Ai and if Diermo

359
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 3: del Toro does it, the captain will be super hot.

360
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: And wear hotpants. We watched Frankenstein this weekend.

361
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 4: I wondered if that I haven't seen it yet, but

362
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 4: I was assuming that it was the reference.

363
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: It's fabulous he made Frankenstein. I don't under.

364
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: Listen he can get it the monster. I don't understand

365
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: his take on that movie at all, but like it

366
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 3: was still really it was.

367
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: It was really good.

368
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 3: And I know he gets kind of slammed sometimes for

369
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: style over substance, and I thought there was still substance

370
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: in it.

371
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: But also I want to get down with Frankanstein.

372
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 7: Now everybody's just letting him catch them. Yeah, you got me?

373
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 6: Please don't.

374
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: Rob king joining us? Fire good, We got.

375
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: We have another half hour to talk about these Pittsburgh Steelers.

376
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 6: And hey, we're just talking about Frane.

377
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 3: If Frankenstein was on the Edmit Fitzgerald, now hear me out. Okay,

378
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 3: what would have happened?

379
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 2: Steelers fans? Your team is a powerhouse.

380
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: Are you ready to throw another great game here in

381
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 3: the Steel City?

382
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

383
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: And let's take a minute of the Power Hour, brought

Speaker 2: Clearview will donate.

00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: Sorry about last night.

390
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 3: Visit CLEARVIEWFCU dot org slash touchdown got one, tell her more,

391
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: you got one. Roman Wilson came through at the end there,

392
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 3: so that was good. But Mike is joining us along

393
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: with Rob King here on DV Mike.

394
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 8: Sports is how brought to you by Bridgeville A Plus.

395
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 8: I'm going to recant what I said last hour about

396
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 8: the Steelers game plan.

397
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 2: We can't recan't.

398
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 8: The Chargers had a great game plan because they protected

399
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 8: their quarterback. But just because they had a good one

400
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 8: doesn't mean the Steelers had a bad one. The Steelers

401
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 8: kept trusting their guys to make plays, and there were

402
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 8: enough out there to be made. I was just reviewing

403
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 8: between sports casts here and they were in position plenty

404
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 8: of times. Let's go through the place that they should

405
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 8: have made and didn't were absolutely critical. The obvious one

406
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 8: is the deep ball to Metcalf on the second possession.

407
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 2: That's got to be a touchdown. Rogers said he missed them.

408
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 8: Metcalf I might have flattened it out a little bit

409
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 8: toward the end of the route. I don't know if

410
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 8: he'd lost his details a little bitter or Rogers just

411
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 8: missed him. But those two guys, one way or another,

412
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 8: have to come up with a touchdown there when it's

413
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 8: DK Metcalf on a safety one on one, yep, that

414
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 8: can't can't carp about the plan there, So you left

415
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 8: what four points on the board there, let's say, because

416
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 8: they kicked the field goal right afterward. The high ball

417
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 8: to John hus Smith early in the second quarter that

418
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 8: he went up for and tried to come down with.

419
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 8: At first they said he caught it, and then they

420
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 8: replayed Chargers challenged it and they said incomplete, he's getting

421
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 8: at least to the five yard line on that if

422
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 8: you hit him, and then he's got to beat a

423
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 8: dB to get into the end zone.

424
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 7: Also, it's not illegal to catch that ball and make it.

425
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 6: It's indisputable, it's not. But it was a really high throw.

426
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 8: Guys open hit him, put it on him, hit him

427
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 8: in stride, let him get some yak, and let him

428
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 8: get in the end zone. Did they leave now seven

429
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 8: points on the board? Eleven probably is the more likely scenario.

430
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 8: The deep ball to Calvin Austin might have just been

431
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 8: a great play by the corner he under throw.

432
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 2: You think Calvin Austin slowed up?

433
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 6: Yeah he slowed up?

434
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: Did he?

435
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 5: Ye? Yeah?

436
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 6: He did?

437
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 8: Okay, Well, then let's store that in. It's a big

438
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 8: play that cost him some more points. The interception, Uh,

439
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 8: they weren't necessarily a scoring position, but Rogers tried to

440
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 8: thread one over and in front and sailed it. More

441
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 8: points left on the board.

442
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: Possibly late in the second quarter.

443
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 8: Now there were only twelve seconds left when the Steelers

444
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 8: started this possession, but they're starting at their thirty five

445
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 8: and he Rogers hit Austin on a slant and he

446
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 8: was at full speed and he dropped it, and maybe

447
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 8: they get in.

448
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: Range for another fifty nine yard oft there. Who knows.

449
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 8: That's a minor one, but it is a drop. Just

450
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 8: kind of indicative of how they were playing third and

451
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 8: two from the Pittsburgh thirty in the third quarter. You've

452
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 8: just run Jalen Warren on second and five to get

453
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 8: to third and two, and they try to pass and

454
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 8: he got sacked. They're allowed to run on third and two.

455
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 8: That might be an instance where they didn't get the

456
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 8: ball to Jalen Warren enough. Bad break was the pass

457
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 8: down the seam on third and eight. DK Metcalf collided

458
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 8: with Derwin James. Oh yeah, it looked like deep call.

459
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 8: Ye that was DEPF. Colls was talking about charge block, but.

460
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 2: I was in a charge of basketball. That's what we're

461
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 2: talking about here. And it's just PFF or eighty.

462
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 8: The series that kind of encapsulated. Just what a mess

463
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 8: they were started late third quarter and then they were

464
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 8: moving and they got themselves to a first and tent

465
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 8: at the LA fourteen they ran Jalen Warren for four yards.

466
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 8: Now second and six again, you are allowed to keep running here.

467
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 8: They tried a slant to Metcalf, and I listened to

468
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 8: Rogers postgame. He talked about this. Bud Dupree was the

469
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,239
Speaker 8: right edge guy. They had Scornic over there and then

470
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 8: they motioned him to the other side of the formation.

471
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 8: So bud Dupre had a clear shot at the quarterback

472
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 8: if he wanted it. He didn't take it. He stood

473
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 8: there and Rogers said Dupre was in the way of

474
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 8: a slant to Metcalf, which is getting you a first down,

475
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 8: if not a touchdown, assuming he catches it. So he

476
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 8: had to just throw the ball away. When has bud

477
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 8: Dupre ever read a play. He's just a go go

478
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 8: go guy.

479
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 5: Right.

480
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: Well, do you think that bud Dupre made that play

481
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: or was it like commission or omission there?

482
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?

483
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: Like did he luck into doing the wrong thing? I

484
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 3: don't know, you know, did the wrong thing, but it

485
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 3: ended up being the right thing.

486
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 8: I don't know, but he had a free path to

487
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 8: a quarterback and he didn't take it. And it was

488
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 8: a great play.

489
00:23:59,040 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 6: Great play.

490
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 2: So now it's third down.

491
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 8: This is when Rogers, this was the one where I

492
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 8: thought he really looked like, oh, get rid of it,

493
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 8: like because the pressure was coming and he had Gainwell

494
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 8: in the flat overthrew him badly. Gainwell is uh being

495
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 8: covered one on one by an inside linebacker Dyane Henley.

496
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 8: He's probably gonna get the first down there at least

497
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 8: and maybe score there. And it's an incomplete And then

498
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 8: the throw on fourth down, Rogers said it was double coverage.

499
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 8: The safety lined up on the near hash, but he

500
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 8: didn't get there when the ball was there. It was

501
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 8: one on one Metcalf and cam Hart, second year cornerback,

502
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 8: not Sauce Gardner, Metcalf and cam Hart, and the ball

503
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 8: was not placed where Metcalf could make a play on it.

504
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 8: He's just I mean, that's where we're talking now about twenty.

505
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 2: One points on the board.

506
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 8: It's like that, let alone, how those changed the course

507
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 8: of the way the game is being played. Maybe you

508
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 8: get the Chargers a little out of their conservative h

509
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 8: throw it quick and run it often and then maybe

510
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 8: you kill the quarterback.

511
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 7: Was the safety he took on that list because I

512
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 7: thought that was a play where you could at least

513
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 7: get sacked, you know, in the field of play, not

514
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 7: in the end zone, or throw it away, throw it

515
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 7: at somebody's feet.

516
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: He's real good at that, agreed. Was that third down?

517
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 7: I don't remember. I think it was, But that could have

518
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 7: been worse. I mean, obviously it could have been a touchdown.

519
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, bad play, but it was two points in the

520
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 8: first quarter. Score some touchdowns and we're not thinking of

521
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 8: bell on it. That was third and no, we're were

522
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 8: here third and seven from the Steelers nine. I'm just

523
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 8: whistling the record ed Memphis.

524
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 3: Gerald is Jeopardy music while he tries to find the information.

525
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: Two ships going down.

526
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 8: It's I guess the bottom line. I mean, there were

527
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 8: plenty of plays to be made. It was a destroyed

528
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 8: night on offense. You make a couple, you get on

529
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 8: a roll. They got to be better. They got to

530
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 8: be better. And there's no wide receiver coming over the

531
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 8: horizon to save the day.

532
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 6: MVS. What about MVS?

533
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: Well, I think he's gonna get a look.

534
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 5: Now.

535
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: Well, let's put it this way.

536
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 8: If Keishawn Williams had been doing fine as a return guy.

537
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 2: Not last night. He put the ball on the ground.

538
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 5: That is bad.

539
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 8: And if they were looking for a way to get

540
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 8: MVS into the lineup, you can take out eighty five,

541
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 8: put Calvin Austin back to returning punts, which they think

542
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 8: he's very good at, and see if Rogers and MVS

543
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 8: can rekindle a little old match.

544
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll make up.

545
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 8: Particularly since Austin had a real mediocre night receiving.

546
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: Well, one went off his hands for an interception and

547
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: he was underthrown.

548
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, and he dropped one, and then there's not one

549
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 8: he caught and he didn't get his feet down and

550
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 8: he was out of bounds and he's easy catch and

551
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 8: can't go two for seven. No, Metcalf can't go three

552
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 8: for seven. It's not gonna work if that continues to

553
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 8: be the case.

554
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 3: Rob King, voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers, on the Steelers

555
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: Audio Network, with us for a power hour of Steeler Talk.

556
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 2: His phone's gone demand.

557
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,479
Speaker 6: The connection is going kind of like that game last night.

558
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you there, Kinger, I'm here, okay.

559
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

560
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 3: We were just talking about all of the ways in

561
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 3: which we left points on the board last night. They

562
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 3: can't afford to do that this weekend because this is

563
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 3: a high flying offense that forty year old Joe Flacco

564
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 3: is piloting coming to Hinesfield Akroscher Stadium, Sorry on Sunday.

565
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, just in general, it has to be better.

566
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 4: You know, it's feasted on short fields for the most part,

567
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 4: it's feasted on turnovers. They're number one in the league

568
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 4: in converting turnovers into points. They've got to be able

569
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 4: to and look, you've done what you've been able to

570
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 4: do to get to five and three prior to this game.

571
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 4: I understand that, but I also think it's masking the

572
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 4: fact that again they've just got to find a way

573
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 4: to maintain longer drives. They've got to find a way,

574
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 4: you know, irrespective of getting turnovers and making you know,

575
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 4: quote unquote splash plays on defensive being able to manufacture

576
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 4: their own points on offense put together drives.

577
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 5: It's been elucid for the Steelers for the most part

578
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 5: this season.

579
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 3: A quick breaking will be right back more Steelers talk

580
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: with Rob King. This half hour of the Power Hour

581
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 3: brought to you by Clearview Federal Credit Union on DVE It's.

582
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: Max Starks for my friends at CLEARW, your.

583
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 6: Radio hub for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

584
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: One on two point five DVE.

585
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: We're with Rob King a power hour of Steeler talk

586
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 3: to finish out this morning show and give me some

587
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: silver linings from last night, Rob.

588
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 4: Defense is pretty good. I thought they ran the ball

589
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 4: pretty well. Yeah Warrens, Yeah, you watch up John, you

590
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 4: ad the pass rush, but they got five sacks on Herbert.

591
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 4: You know, I look, you know the offense. I still

592
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 4: go back to this. The offense needs to get out

593
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 4: in front. The offense needs to dictate to the defense

594
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 4: what they're going to do.

595
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 5: Sometimes.

596
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 4: You know, as much as you're trying to get turnovers,

597
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 4: they happen best and most consistently.

598
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 5: When you force the team to be one dimensional.

599
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 4: When you know Herbert's back and he's got to hold

600
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 4: the ball a little longer because he's got to make

601
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 4: a playdown in the field, and now here comes to

602
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 4: strip sack.

603
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 5: You know, they got to him.

604
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 4: Plenty, and a lot of teams have gotten to Herbert plenty,

605
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 4: but they sacked him five times. That should be five

606
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 4: sacks should be a winning effort on defense. They've just

607
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 4: got to find a way to be better offensively, Jalen Warren.

608
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 4: You know, the running game, after a blip last week

609
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 4: against the Colts, continues to be effective. They just can't

610
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 4: run it enough because they don't have enough plays.

611
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 5: So they've got to get the pass game going.

612
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 4: They've got to and it's not just that they've got

613
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 4: to find a sink offensively, you know, some way with

614
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 4: throwing the ball and running the ball to keep drives going.

615
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert, you know, lost in all of this, was

616
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: pretty good last night.

617
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 4: He's terrific. I think he's a top five quarterback in

618
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 4: the NFL. I agree, five, maybe six, you know, but

619
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 4: he's somewhere in there. He's not always pinpoint, but he's

620
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 4: accurate enough. You know, he led the league last year

621
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 4: in the lowest interception percentage. He came in as a

622
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 4: leading rusher in the league. He can really run.

623
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 5: Tough, He's got it. He's tough.

624
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 4: I mean he has taken a beating, an absolute beating,

625
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 4: and it's hung in the pocket. No quarterback has been

626
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 4: hit more than Justin Herbert, and he just stands in

627
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 4: the pocket delivers it.

628
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 5: Like you said, yeah, tough, great.

629
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 4: Arm talent, great physical talent, as far as running the ball,

630
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 4: he made some great throws last night into very tight windows.

631
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's a he's a great player.

632
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 3: He's a great player, which is why I'm I'm hopeful

633
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 3: from a defensive standpoint that it won't look as bad

634
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: as it did last time against the Bengals, when the

635
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 3: Steelers were an absolute mess that you know now infamous

636
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 3: picture of Jamar Chase running free with the game on

637
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 3: the line, seemed to be the impetus for them right

638
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 3: in the rudder. Defensively, that being said, you know we're

639
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 3: talking about like running the ball and controlling the clock.

640
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 3: They had a time possession disparity of sixteen minutes last night.

641
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 2: He's like thirty eight to twenty two. Rob, I don't know.

642
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 3: This is if this is a weekend where you do

643
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: give it to Jalen Warn a whole lot and try

644
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: to slow it down because they can come back and

645
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 3: score so quickly.

646
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: I mean you find yourself down pretty quick as well.

647
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 5: Mike.

648
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 8: I think you got to score it. However, you got

649
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 8: to do that. If it means big plays and going fast,

650
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 8: do that. If it means you're able to control it

651
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 8: and still score, fine, But you can't play keep away

652
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 8: before you play, change the scoreboard.

653
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: They have to score points this week. They have to.

654
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 3: So you guys don't see Saamalu being out as big

655
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 3: of a deal as I do. Oh, I do, okay,

656
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 3: because I think it was disastrous, you know, and I

657
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 3: know Rogers was bad also, but he did not have

658
00:31:59,040 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: a lot of time to move on.

659
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 5: He didn't.

660
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 4: And again, you know, it's not just hey, Aaron Rodgers

661
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 4: needs to be better. Aaron Rodgers said last night he

662
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 4: needs to be better. Yeah, that's part of it. But

663
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 4: you need to be able to I mean, you know,

664
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 4: Mike is sort of alluding to this, and we've seen

665
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 4: this a couple of times. I mean, they scored a

666
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 4: bunch of points against the Jets, they scored a bunch

667
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 4: of points against the Bengals.

668
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 5: And a loss. And I think we've seen elements. Right,

669
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 5: you need to be able to.

670
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 4: Win a game in numerous ways offensively, you need to

671
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 4: be able to win a shootout. You need to be

672
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 4: able to have enough character to win a low scoring game.

673
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 4: We've seen the Doers I think have enough character to

674
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 4: do that. We've seen him win shootouts, but we have

675
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 4: not seen is is the you know, I wouldn't even

676
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 4: call it game in and game out consistency. It's within

677
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 4: the confines of a game. You've got to find a way.

678
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 4: And I keep harping on this. Mike Tomlins said.

679
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,239
Speaker 5: It last night.

680
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers said it last night. You've got to find

681
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 4: a way to keep drives going. You cannot have these

682
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 4: three and outs. You cannot put this amount of scratch

683
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 4: and pressure on your defense. And you've got to be

684
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 4: able to score more points. You've got to be more effective.

685
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 4: You know, we talk about more jail and Warren well,

686
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 4: you know, whether it's throw to run or run to throw,

687
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 4: you've got to get you know, like the Eagles are

688
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 4: kind of a you know, known for you know, throw

689
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 4: the ball in the first half, run the ball in

690
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 4: the second half.

691
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,479
Speaker 5: I don't care how you do it.

692
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 4: You just got to You gotta get first downs and

693
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 4: move the ball better from game to game. It's not

694
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 4: just hey, we did it last week, we can't do

695
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 4: this week now. They've got to do it within the

696
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 4: game itself. It's not a week to week thing. It's

697
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 4: it's an in game thing. Pretty much every.

698
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 3: Week outside of the obvious depth does slays injury should

699
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 3: he not be able to go this weekend hurt the Steelers.

700
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean they're thin. You know, they went into

701
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 4: the game and Mike Tomlin said this last week. You know,

702
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 4: we put Jalen Ramsey at safety because we have more

703
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 4: corners than we have safeties right now. Well, I mean,

704
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 4: I don't know Jabille Pepper's status. You know, Chuck Clark

705
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 4: was back there last night, but clearly they want Jalen

706
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 4: Ramsey and Kyle Duggert to be the safety combination for

707
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 4: now until Elliott back and then maybe you figure something

708
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 4: out if he even gets back.

709
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's a it's an issue.

710
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, look, they put him out there

711
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 4: because they think he's the best outside corner they have.

712
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 5: And Eckles in the slot. Well, now you're out that.

713
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 4: And I thought James Pierre for the most part, really

714
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 4: played well last night. So you have Pierre and Eccles,

715
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 4: but you know, you're starting to get really really thin

716
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 4: in the back end.

717
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 6: Well, at least you don't have the Bengals coming into town.

718
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 2: They got to get to Joe Flacco. They got to

719
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 2: get to Joe.

720
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 3: Do you know, by the way, last night, Corny Matt Williamson,

721
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 3: the Chargers only blitzed once.

722
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 5: They're not a heavy blitzing team.

723
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 4: They blitzed six, the fewest of anybody in the NFL,

724
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 4: so that wasn't totally unexpected.

725
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 5: But they have excellent you know, they still get pressure.

726
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god, they had so much pressure at that point.

727
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 5: I mean those edge guys.

728
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 4: You know, Oh Way had four sacks and four games

729
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 4: since he came from Baltimore. You know, Tuley Polo two

730
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 4: is uh was I think fifth in the league in

731
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 4: sack seven.

732
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 5: Uh.

733
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 4: You know, Khalil Mack was hurt. So you look, oh

734
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 4: he's only got three sacks. They only played five games. Still,

735
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 4: a course, you're steal a force. And even you know,

736
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 4: Boyd b on the inside had three sacks coming in.

737
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, they're a good pass rushing unit. They don't

738
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 4: have to bring a lot of pressure. And again, when

739
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 4: you can do that, it's hard to get receivers open.

740
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 4: And and you know, Aaron Rodgers said this last night,

741
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 4: and I agree with him. This is part of the assessment.

742
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 4: People are gonna say Aaron Rodgers wasn't sharp. Aaron Rodgers

743
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 4: said he wasn't sharp. I didn't see a lot of

744
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 4: guys running free last night either.

745
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,000

Speaker 3: That's a one o'clock kickoff.

750
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 7: That's the good news. It's a day game. We don't

751
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 7: have to play anymore night games.

752
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 6: Robin.

753
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 5: Yeah.

754
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 4: For whatever reason, Miami, Yeah, primetime has not been good

755
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 4: to the Steelers. I'm not sure why. That is zero

756
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 4: and three in primetime right now.

757
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 2: And Miami just beat the Bills.

758
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 3: What is going on in Miami right now?

759
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 2: I don't know.

760
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 5: It's the weirdest year in the NFL.

761
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 4: Like the minute you think, okay, yep, the Lions are

762
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 4: really good, they lose to the Packers. Well, you know

763
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 4: what the Chiefs though, the Chiefs are back. They get

764
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 4: hammered by the Bills. Well, the Bills are clearly the team.

765
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 5: They get smoked by the Dolphins.

766
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't I don't know. This is I

767
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 4: don't know what you guys think. I think we've mentioned

768
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 4: this before. I don't ever remember a year like this.

769
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 4: I mean, you look up, who are Who are the

770
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 4: best two teams? The Patriots and the Seahawks. Maybe are

771
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 4: those two the best two teams in football?

772
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 2: Seahawks thumped the Cardinals yesterday.

773
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the Patriots beat the Bucks, right, yeah,

774
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 5: I mean they're good. Yeah. And by the way, look

775
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 5: at the two teams. Look at two of the.

776
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 4: Teams, the two Theirs are beat they they've hung the

777
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 4: only loss in the Colts and one of the only

778
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 4: two losses on the Patriots.

779
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 5: It's a weird year, man, It's a weird year.

00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 5: Here's Tom Opperman.

796
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 9: The Steelers lost twenty five to ten to the Los

797
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 9: Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football, in a game where

798
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 9: the Steelers offense struggled to say the least. They only

799
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 9: gained two hundred and twenty total yards for the game,

800
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 9: but the biggest shortcoming was, no doubt, their failures on

801
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 9: third down, where the team was two for eleven on

802
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 9: third down conversions. They didn't convert their first third down

803
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 9: until there was less than five minutes remaining in the

804
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 9: fourth quarter. Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers really struggled last night,

805
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 9: posting his worst performance so far as the Pittsburgh Steeler.

806
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 9: Rogers completed just sixteen of his thirty one passes for

807
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 9: a measly one hundred and sixty one yards a touchdown,

808
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 9: and he threw two picks. On the Chargers side of things,

809
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 9: their defense was able to sack Rogers three times and

810
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 9: force two takeaways, while offensively, quarterback Justin Herbert threw for

811
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 9: two hundred and twenty yards and one touchdown, and his

812
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 9: connection with wide receiver Lad McConkey was strong as The

813
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 9: wideout went for one hundred and seven yards on just

814
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 9: four catches, and he was the recipient of Herbert's one

815
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 9: touchdown pass. The loss drops the Steelers to five and

816
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 9: four as they try to bounce back against the Cincinnati

817
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 9: Bengals this Sunday at Akroscher Stadium.

818
