1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:05,559
Speaker 1: Get your calls in now for calls at the fifteens.

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: Eight three three four one two wxdx. That's eight three

3
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: three four one two wxdx.

4
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 3: By the way, Lamar Jackson sucks.

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: He looks rattled and shaky and maybe past his prime

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: despite being Shia thirty. He makes the occasional play, but

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: that's it. His two minute drill at the end was

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: all yackety sacks and stuff. He's three and five on

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: his career against the Steelers. Like I said, I used

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: to not buy into the Steelers got Lamar's number, but

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: clearly they know.

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: What to do against him.

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: They've got two sacks, five quarterback hits and contained them.

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: That's all of the above when you're trying to defend

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Two sacks, five quarterback kits and containing him.

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: He had the one touchdown run, but didn't do much

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: with his legs, didn't do much getting outside the pocket.

19
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: That is all of the above.

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: I didn't get scratching Roman Wilson, so Theland and MVSCA

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: get helmets. Didn't get it at all. The Steelers hate

22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: young guys. They just want to get old older, oldest.

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: If Wilson isn't good enough. Well, you drafted him and

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: you developed him or didn't. But like I said, old, older, oldest,

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: theland caught a pass.

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: Huzzah.

27
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about the I want your

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: input on the College Football Playoff because Notre Dame didn't

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: get screwed.

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: They're just not good enough. They're nothing special.

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about them except for the Notre Dame fanatics,

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: and there aren't nearly as many of them as there

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: used to be. If they would have joined the conference,

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: maybe they would have got the benefit of the that

35
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: they somehow think the ACC screwed them. I don't possibly

36
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: see how, but Notre Dame should just shut the frig up,

37
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: shove about a thousand communion wafers in your mouth, and

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: keep quiet. Have a little bit sacramental wine too. But

39
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: if you want to react to that, feel free. I

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: give the Texas fans credit. The Texan Texas could have

41
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: easily been in there as much as Notre Dame, and

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: I don't think James Madison and.

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: Too Lane should be in there.

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: But that's what the playoff wants to give, that illusion

45
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: that you can get the big upset like you do

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: in the NCAA basketball tournament, of course, ignoring that basketball

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: and football and the magnitude of such an upset like

48
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: you get in basketball just can't happen in football. So

49
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: your reaction to that a three three four one two WSDX,

50
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: or you can react to the absurd pirate BS. I

51
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: wish I could say the S word, because that's the

52
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: only way to describe this is BS. The Pirates are

53
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: getting headlines because they made reportedly a four year offer

54
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: to Kyle Schwarber, the free agent fat guy, four years

55
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: over one hundred million. Hey, I'm not trying to believe

56
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: that offer was made, and b it's not near enough

57
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: to get schwar But you got to offer him to

58
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: give him to Pittsburgh. You'd have to pay him like

59
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: at least thirty million a year over six years. It's

60
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty million to make sure, probably over

61
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: two hundred million over six years. So it's more bucco

62
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: BS just absolute crap designed to give the impression they

63
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: want to improve the team. But oh, poor us, We're

64
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: a small market. Even when we offer that, we can't

65
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: get the guy. By the way, DK Metcalf spent the

66
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: night in a Baltimore hospital he had a.

67
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: Tummy a co apparently.

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: Actually, it's probably because he finally gave birth to a

69
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: good game and had postpartum depression. Oh, we have some

70
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: calls coming in. Let's let's jump in early for calls

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: on the fifteen. Let's go to Newman.

72
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: Hello Newman, Hello Jay, some too Penguin's questions. If that's okay?

73
00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: It is.

74
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: All right.

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: So first of all, so you know this is pertaining

76
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 4: to both of them are pertaining actually the Stars game.

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: So if I'm head coach, my team is up a

78
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: goal and they I used to puck and can't change.

79
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: With three minutes to go and the opposing team pulls

80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: a goalie, I'm calling time out. Let's say you about that?

81
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would too.

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: Part of me says there might be a loop pool

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: where you can't, because otherwise why wouldn't.

84
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 4: He Yeah, I mean no, but there wouldn't be a

85
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 4: little pool when you can't.

86
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: You can't differentiate in time of game or where the

87
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: other team pulls the goalie. So yeah, he absolutely should

88
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: have there. I think Music has done a good job

89
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: mark my words. Though Newman there's some potential for him

90
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: to screw up some decisions coming up for example, Raquel's

91
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: do back in what two or three weeks? If he

92
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: takes Kindle off the first power plan puts Quel on it,

93
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: I will jump through the ceiling of PPG paints Arena.

94
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 3: I Barry Hill like a dead dog.

95
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: That would feel like a very late stage Sullivan type

96
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 4: of a move.

97
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 3: I ain't cutting it out. So the Yeah, what's another question?

98
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 4: And so so last night Jari held the stars the

99
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 4: two goals, which should be enough to win a hockey

100
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: game more often than not, right, and he put up

101
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 4: a wall in overtime but got no help on the

102
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 4: other end of the ice, and then depends again can't

103
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 4: score a single goal in the shootout. So my question is,

104
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 4: you know, we've seen Jari let the team down plenty

105
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 4: of times. Was this the worst that the team has

106
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 4: ever let Jari down that you can recall?

107
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 3: I know about the worst. But maybe here's the thing.

108
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: Pegs aren't that good.

109
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: I mean they like, like I said, does that say

110
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: something Newman when they played about as well as they

111
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: can and they're only one point safe in the playoffs?

112
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think I think that's what we're going to

113
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: be in force for the rest of the season.

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: I mean it just I think that's what we're in

115
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: for for Lucky.

116
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: I could see us, like in a month, being ten

117
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: points off and I hope not, but but it might happen.

118
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, what we really need is the goaltending

119
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 4: to hold up. And it's it's a bummer because you know,

120
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 4: you'd like to see Jerry build momentum off performances like

121
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 4: last night, but it's tough to do in the game.

122
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: Man, No, I disagree.

123
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: I think he definitely takes momentum off last night's performance.

124
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: And I would think that he will get to start

125
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: U tomorrow night at home against Anaheim simply because you

126
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: don't want to return home and not play the hot goalie, right,

127
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: So I think I think he will bring momentum. I

128
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that guarantees him playing well given his

129
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: consistency of play, especially since he came back from injury.

130
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: I'm just amazed, and I'll be blunt. I don't believe

131
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: he'll keep it up. I could be wrong, but I'm not.

132
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call.

133
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: Okay, get some calls in now for calls on the fifteens.

134
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: It is so fetch if you think it's fetch style.

135
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: Now A three three, four one two, ninety nine, thirty nine,

136

Speaker 1: come to iHeartRadio, Altar Ego Corny twenty.

138
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: Great to hear from the lady callers.

139
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: DX at one five. Time for calls on the fifteens

140
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: eight three, three, four to one two WXDX get your

141
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: calls in now. I've not been very positive about the

142
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: Steelers beating Baltimore because I just don't think it established

143
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: anything other than.

144
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: Baltimore is worse than that?

145
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: Are they in control of the AFC North Well, Baltimore

146
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: plays a much uh tougher schedule than the Steelers moving forward,

147
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: but uh, the Steelers are only up by game, and

148
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: the two teams do play again week eighteen at Akroshore,

149
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: and I think we've seen enough from the Steelers, given

150
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: their inconsistency over the last decade, to know that things

151
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: are far from a short But in terms of what

152
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: I did like about the Steelers win yesterday, I thought

153
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was very good.

154
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: I thought he showed more than Guyle for a change.

155
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: I thought he dusted off the deep ball through a

156
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: couple of real nice passes to Metcalf, had that discount

157
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: double check touchdown run, which I still can't believe. If

158
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm him, I'm just not running the ball under any circumstances.

159
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: But he did what he had to. Again, DK had

160
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: a good day, but I traced that to Rogers. I

161
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: traced that to the offensive play calling being willing finally

162
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: to throw some deep balls and open up the field.

163
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: Although I still don't think they used the middle nearly enough.

164
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: I hope big fatso Mount Washington is hurt for a while.

165
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want him to suffer. He's can cussed,

166
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: but I want Friarmouth and John who in there. They're

167
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: the real Tights, and I want the ball in the

168
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: middle more. It goes to show you how little faith

169
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: I have in the Steelers right now that I started

170
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: off intending to say what I thought went right yesterday,

171
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: and I immediately went to what went wrong and what

172
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: they have to do different.

173
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 3: But they still do have to do better, They still

174
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: do have to do different.

175
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: I was impressed how the injured guys, the guys feeling

176
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: in for injuries like co Holcom Pepper's Clark, the guys

177
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: on the O line.

178
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 3: I was impressed with how they did.

179
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that with Trey Essex the O line

180
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: guys in just a few moments. We talked earlier in

181
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: at length about how the Steelers defense put pressure on Lamar,

182
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: got hits on Lamar, but also contained Lamar, which is

183
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: a pretty good combination.

184
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: It's exactly what you want to do. So the Steelers

185
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: got lucky.

186
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: They got all those calls, but they gave themselves a

187
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: chance to get lucky. And of course we're talking about

188
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: the college football Playoff. Although I don't give a rats

189
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: ass ain't. Nobody didn't make it would have a chance

190
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: to legitimately win, a legitimate chance to win. Rather Notre

191
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Dame would not have a legitimate chance to win. And

192
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, if they wanted to make it, should have

193
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: won one more game. All they had to do was

194
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: win one more game. I think if they would have

195
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: beat Pitt like a hundred, like Nardoozi told them they

196
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: ought to do, maybe they would have made it.

197
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: As well.

198
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: We're also talking about the absolute lie that is the

199
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: Pirate's chances of getting Kyle Schwarber. Here's where I screw

200
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: myself kind of, except I don't care. I would rather

201
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: tell the truth on this show than get listeners for

202
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: lying and certainly get callers for lying. I know Don

203
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: the dog they're talking about. Can the Pirates get Swarp

204
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: or could it happen? I'll bet anybody out there ten

205
00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: thousand against my hundred. Excuse me, against your hundred. The

206
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: Pirates don't get Kyle Schwarber. It's just a total fabrication.

207
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: But people, man, they're dumb. So there's the topics. Also,

208
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: the penguins in the shootout. Do they need to start

209
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: trying the kids? I think so let's go to Eric. Eric,

210
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: you're all with Mark.

211
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 5: Hey, double M.

212
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 6: I just soon Danny could talk about this.

213
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 7: I apologize that. What are your thoughts on the Matt

214
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 7: Campbell hiring at Penn State.

215
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty good hire given the circumstance

216
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: they were in, thought you. We talked about it briefly Friday,

217
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: but it's certainly worth discussion today. I like his resume.

218
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a superstar coach, but I don't

219
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: think a superstar coach is with Penn State needs. I

220
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: think they had close to that in Franklin. And while

221
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: I would not have fired him, if they're dissatisfied with him,

222
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: then it was.

223
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: A good idea to not go out and get a

224
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: carbon copy.

225
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't see the big deal in keeping Terry Smith

226
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: beyond playcating the players who are still there now will

227
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: be more likely to stay. I'm glad they didn't hire

228
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: Terry Smith as the head coach. I think that would

229
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: have been just a terrible move. But I'm glad for

230
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: him and just for the situation in general that he's staying.

231
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: But but, but your original question, Matt Campbell's a real.

232
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: Good higher all right, thank you for your much thank you. Yeah,

233
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 3: I don't think Penn State went wrong there even a

234
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: little bit.

235
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: Up next, Trey Essex, former super Bowl champ two time,

236
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: two time, one oh five nine The X the only

237
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: show weekday mornings at six wherever you are and totally

238

Speaker 1: free on the iHeartRadio app.

239
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 8: Isn't it great show?

240
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: When you got a young trophy white?

241
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: Oh's money to I can't even quote the big o'bowski right, goodbye.

242
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: The ex.

243
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: Steelers with a much needed win at Baltimore are not

244
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: quite sure how impressive it was, joining me now to

245
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: talk about it. The two times super Bowl champion always

246
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: great to talk to. Former Steelers lineman Trey Essex Trey.

247
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: There were lots of injuries on that O line. Who

248
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: came through when the trenches filling in and maybe shuffled.

249
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: Around you asking me who came in?

250
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, anybody? Anybody who you thought stood out on the

251
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: old line?

252
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 2: Oh, Isaac and Model was having a great year. I

253
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 2: mean the whole Old line I thought played better than

254
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: what stats would indicate only seventeen carriage for thirty four yards.

255
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: After watching film, I thought they actually blocked halfway decent

256
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 2: in the run game, They're just it just wasn't any

257
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: consistency in the play calling in my opinion, and the

258
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 2: toss play. Everybody knows it's happening when Spencer goes in motion.

259
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 2: We're running toss more times than not, and so I

260
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: think defenses have gotten hit to that. But to answer

261
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: your question, I thought Dylan Cook came in and did

262
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: a really good job for Pete. I thought Pete was

263
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 2: struggling a little bit, and that game had a falls

264
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 2: star had a holding call, and I think Isaac C.

265
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 3: Model did a.

266
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: Wonderful job covering up for some of the mishaps that

267
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: he had. And then Dylan Cook came in for the

268
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: last sixteen or seventeen plays and they let tackle spot.

269
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: But left tackle is the only position that we've had

270
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 2: people consistently heard at and it's only been happening the

271
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks.

272
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: Well, you're right on about the predictability of the play

273
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: calling in the running game, and they got to fix

274
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: that trade because I don't think that's a terrible running team.

275
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: I just think it has trouble getting from point A

276
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: to point B, like you said, because of the predictability.

277
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: It's predictable, it's inconsistent, and a lot of people don't

278
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: understand that. When you play old line, you got to

279
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: get into a rhythm, just like quarterbacks need to get

280
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: into a rhythm throwing the ball. They had those short,

281
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: quick screen passes to get the timing going for for

282
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: a quarterback. The same thing applies to O line and

283
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: running backs. If you don't run enough of the same

284
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: plays consistently throughout the game, you aren't on the same page.

285
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: The holes aren't being seen by the running back as

286
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: clear the old line doesn't know the running back is

287
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: going to be really supposed to.

288
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 6: Be all the time.

289
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: You got to run consistently and Baltimore run the ball

290
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: forty one times Pittsburg ran at seventeen times. Obviously, the

291
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: passing game works for us in a big way, but

292
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: we got to get that running game going if we're

293
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: going to do anything these last four games.

294
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: Well, like you said, and you could expand on it,

295
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: if you could, please Tray, There's a fine line between

296
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: predictability and consistency, isn't there?

297
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: And Buffalo was predictable as all could be last week.

298
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: He ran two plays over and over again, but they

299
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: ran them and they ran them well. And you can

300
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: do that. You can be predictable if you have the

301
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: right personnel and if you're doing the plays that fit

302
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: your scheme.

303
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: We don't.

304
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: I can't tell you which run play our offensive line

305
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: runs the best. Honestly, Arthur Smith loves the toss play.

306
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: He's loved it ever since he's been here. But we

307
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: don't run that play consistently, and especially when Darnel Washington

308
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: isn't in there, and we kept on going back to it,

309
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: and so you have to find a bread and butter

310
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: play for us. When I played, we ran twenty two

311
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: and twenty three double whenever we needed two, three or

312
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: four yards. We haven't found that, and for whatever reason,

313
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith does not like to run the ball in

314
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: the interior to O line very often. And when we

315
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: do rent the toss, we don't have anything to play

316
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: off of it. We're not countering against it, we don't

317
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: have anything to pair with it, even in the play

318
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: action game. So it just it befuddles me my Northwestern

319
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: ward of the day that we can't figure out what

320
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: to do offensively in a run game on a consistent basis.

321
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: Now, the Steelers got three big calls that all went

322
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: their way. Now I'm not saying they were bad calls,

323
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: but it's very rare when three calls like that all

324
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: go one team's way.

325
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: Which is the calls did you think was the shakiest.

326
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: It just read online that the NFL admitted that they

327
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: were wrong on the field goal that ended up giving

328
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: us an extra possession and automate we scored a touchdown.

329
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: Right the personal file against Coots the long.

330
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: Snapper correct and even in real time, I didn't see

331
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: a penalty that was called. And hey, as a fan

332
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: of the team and as a former player, I was like, hey,

333
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: sometimes you get it coming your way. We don't get

334
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: those calls very often. It doesn't seem like and especially

335
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: three in one game, and especially against the rival. I

336
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: can understand why Baltimore might took a little salty today

337
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: because it definitely felt like everything was going against them.

338
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: What about the containment of Lamar Jackson.

339
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: I used to think it was kind of a little

340
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: bsy to say the Steelers had Lamar's number, but I

341
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: think they probably do. Like yesterday was the ideal game.

342
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: You got two sacks, five QB hits, but you contain

343
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: them too.

344
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 3: How they do that.

345
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: Well? I think he's a little compromised. I think everybody

346
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: can look at him and see that the explosion isn't

347
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: all the way there, but it starts with coverage. Honestly,

348
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: I thought this was the stickiest the secondary has played

349
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,239
Speaker 2: all year long. There are a couple of breakdowns, there

350
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: were some wide open throws, and some boys in the

351
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: zones whenever he ran it, But by and large, I

352
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: thought the defense the secondary had their best game of

353
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: the year. And I thought that aided and keeping Lamar

354
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: Jackson holding the ball, and our defens of Milne did

355
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: a good job staying in their lanes when they were

356
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: rush Lamar, not giving him any holes to escape out

357
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 2: of those And so that's The big thing when you're

358
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: paying a guy like Lamar, who's one of the elite

359
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: runners in this league, you can't always go after the sack.

360
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: You can't always go what looks like a clear lane

361
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: to the quarterback. You have to stay in your lane,

362
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 2: got to stay contained and make him hold the ball

363
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: and then eventually he'll come to you.

364
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: What about you mentioned the secondary had good coverage. I agree.

365
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: They had a lot of guys in there who ain't necessarily,

366
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, played in a while, like Chuck Clark or

367
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: Bill Peppers, and Pierre and Eccles have been in there

368
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: quite a bit.

369
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: But boy, they're playing great, ain't they.

370
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pierre and Eckles. Eckles kind of set it all

371
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 2: off for the defense with his sack and early breakup.

372
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 2: And I think because jp J gets a lot of

373
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: the penalties, people aren't recognizing how good he's actually playing

374
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: this year. Yes, there's some boneheaded penalties that he gets

375
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: out there, and it's frustrating they'll get me wrong, especially

376
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: when two of them I think happened on the same drive.

377
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: But outside of that, he is playing some outstanding coverage.

378
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: I think his stats when he's targeted, he's one of

379
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: the best dvs in the game, and obviously Pierre is

380
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 2: coming in and really he's making himself some money this year.

381
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: It's really good to see with all the years that

382
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 2: he's spent being a backup and on special teams, to

383
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: him emerge and be a big playmaker for this secondary.

384
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 2: Tudos to him, and it's coming at the right time.

385
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: Aim in all that training. I want to stick with

386
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: JPJ for a second because I'm with you. I don't

387
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: mind the occasional flag. I don't mind that he's handsy.

388
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: If you look at the amount of plays he makes

389
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: based on being handsy, being tight, being that man demand guy,

390
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: I think it outweighs the occasional penalty, don't you.

391
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: I do, and awesome not only the players that he makes,

392
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: it's the plays that don't even go in his direction

393
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: because he's there and he has such tight coverage on

394
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: his receiver. And so yes, I think you do take

395
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 2: the bad with the good because there's so much good

396
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: that he's putting on film right now. I'm not gonna

397
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 2: lie because it seems like all his penalties come at

398
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: the worst absolute times. Because the last one, even though

399
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 2: it was a little ticky tack on that slant. It

400
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 2: was on third and five, and that extended their driving.

401
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 2: I think they ended up scoring on that jar. So

402
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 2: it's a little cringe when he does it. But at

403
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: the same time, if you take the whole pitcher into account,

404
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: there's not too many DD's playing better than him.

405
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: Talking to Trey Essex here on the X up, what

406
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: about Rogers, I thought that was his best game of

407
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: the year, Like we talked about, it kind of broke

408
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: DK open a little bit.

409
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 3: What made his game better yesterday?

410
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: I thought he just looked comfortable with the wrist after

411
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: not last week.

412
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he looked fearless. He looked like he was

413
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 2: just playing football. Those first three quarters were great and

414
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 2: it was good to get the game open early. I

415
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: think we started each half out with a big play.

416
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 2: The DK first offensive play fifty something yards, and I

417
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: think the first offense player the second half, which I've

418
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: been on it me and Charlie on our podcast, we've

419
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 2: been talking about how horrible we've been coming out of

420
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 2: the third quarter like it's been. I would love to

421
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 2: see the numbers on that. I think we're probably the

422
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 2: worst third quarter team in the league based on how

423
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: we've come out and turned the ball over and just

424
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 2: not done anything of significant. But this quarter we did.

425
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 2: This third quarter we did. And I gotta even give

426
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: a shout out to the old line again because on

427
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: that play in the second half where he threw it

428
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 2: a forty one yard of DK, he had eight seconds

429
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: to throw the ball. Almost eight seconds to throw the ball.

430
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: The protection was that good. Another clean sheet for those guys.

431
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: I think only one or two quarterback kids. And we

432
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: ran the ball a lot more than we passed it,

433
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 2: or we passed it a lot more than we ran.

434
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: So it was good to see those guys protect the

435
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 2: way they did. But yeah, a rob played great. I

436
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: am a little skeptical that fourth quarter was atrocious on

437
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 2: offense and it's something that they definitely need to address.

438
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 9: Well.

439
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: Though in the fourth quarter they just ran and hit

440
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: on offense. They just wanted to, you know, punt the

441
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: ball and not make a mistake and what the defense

442
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: win it. And you know, don't get me wrong, the

443
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: defense did come through in this instance, however, by the

444
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: skin of their teeth.

445
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: But that's a dangerous.

446
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: Game, it is. And we had I can't remember exact score,

447
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 2: but I feel like we had a two score League

448
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 2: going into the fourth quarter, and Mark, we had three drives,

449
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: not three drives total, and we had nine plays, so

450
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: we had three three and outs in the fourth quarter exactly,

451
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 2: only three total yards in the fourth quarter. And so

452
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: the defense when when they're having to stay on the

453
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: field and do these lawn drives that Baltimore is doing

454
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: as they're trying to mount to come back, what you

455
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: do have to I don't want to say play prevent

456
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: the entire defense, but you do give up some yards

457
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 2: in order not to give up the big play as

458
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 2: you're playing against the clock as well. But the author

459
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: sounds are saying that too. We have to maintain drives.

460
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: You have to get at least one first down in

461
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter to help this defense out, and they

462
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: didn't do that.

463
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: Now, how firm is their grip on the division now?

464
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: And they're only one game up.

465
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: I know Baltimore plays a much tougher schedule than the Steelers,

466
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: but I'm already worried about this Miami game tray because

467
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: they've won four straight. They're six and seven, that's just

468
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: one game behind the Steelers, and they have been running

469
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: the ball like.

470
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 2: Crazy, and we've given up two hundred yards plus two

471
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 2: weeks in a row a Chaine is terrifying. And not

472
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: only are we giving up those yards, it seems to

473
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: every game we're giving up some sort of chunk run

474
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 2: play that completely changes the tie that Mitchell I can't

475
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: pronounce this first name or whatever ran for fifty five

476
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 2: yesterday the week before. James Cook had the big players

477
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 2: when we're going against his natty Chase Brown had both

478
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: games had a long run to set off the second half.

479
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: So and a chain is nothing but a big play

480
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: weighing to happen every time he touches the ball. So

481
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: it is absolutely terrifying. And then we go getst another

482
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 2: one and Jamior Gibbs in Detroit his big playability. So

483
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: the work is cut out for us. This division is

484
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 2: not by any means settled. We're only one loss away

485
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 2: from being outside the playoffs once again, maybe two losses.

486
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 2: I think we gotta want to have leon on Baltimore

487
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: with that win. So yeah, they still don't have any

488
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 2: room for air. And to be honest, as a fan

489
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 2: and a former player, I'm still not truly confident that

490
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: we can take the division until we can strain some

491
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 2: of these performances together.

492
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: No I agree, And never mind the division trade, what

493
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: about the conference? I mean, every time I think a

494
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: team's good, they're not anymore if somebody gets hurt.

495
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 9: Look at Indy, right and yeah, me and Charlie talking

496
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 9: about that. Daniel Jones, I feel sorry for him because

497
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 9: he seemed to have a resurgent year. He was out

498
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 9: there playing in the contract year on a broken leg,

499
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 9: doing whatever he could.

500
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 3: And now the.

501
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: Coach don't They don't look like a very strong team

502
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 2: with Houston coming on the way they hand Kansas City

503
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: on Sunday night and the way New England is looking

504
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: right now, Yeah, they look like the strongest teams in

505
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: the AFC. But like you, like you mentioned week to week,

506
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: you don't know. The AFC is such a flippy floppy

507
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: conference this year. You don't know who's going to be

508
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 2: standing at the end of this.

509
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like and then you start thinking about potential

510
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: matchups in the wildcard round for the Steelers. Maybe it's

511
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: too early to do that, but they just lost to

512
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Big at Akershure. You know a week ago, Houston

513
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: looks like they have the best defense in football and

514
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: it's getting better. I mean, I don't know, is there

515
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: any team you would prefer to play if you can

516
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: get that home matchup in the wildcard round.

517
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 2: That's tough to say. Honestly, I would want to go

518
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: with a team that I'm more familiar with, a divisional opponent,

519
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: maybe Baltimore.

520
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but but but if they make the wild

521
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: card trade, they're not going to be the top seed,

522
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I think whoever wins the

523
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: AFC CenTra is going to be the four seed for

524
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: the for the wildcard round.

525
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 4: It tough.

526
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: I mean, if let's say who's leading the AFT West

527
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: right now, Denver, right, so maybe the Chargers might be

528
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: number one.

529
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,719
Speaker 3: I wouldn't liked playing the Chargers.

530
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't I wouldn't mind playing the Chargers.

531
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't mind playing Jacksonville if they would, say,

532
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: finished second in that division behind Houston.

533
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: Jacksonville scares me. Jacksonville for whatever reason, if they got

534
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 2: to come to Pittsburgh, they've done it before and they

535
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: put up some points on us before. So it's just

536
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 2: Jacksonville has always had a weird matchup with Pittsburgh. I

537
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: know I lost to him at least once, maybe twice

538
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 2: in the playoffs during my career. So yeah, I mean

539
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: that was some time ago, Mark, but still they do

540
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: give me a little pause. But if all the teams

541
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: that are going to be in the playoffs and then

542
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: the playoff pitcher, those are the two that would probably

543
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: be the best matchup for us.

544
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: Now, before we let you go, Tray, if you talked

545
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: to your guy Patrick Queen, lately, you guys had a

546
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: skirmish on Twitter since we last spoke.

547
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: No, I think the beef has cooled down a little bit.

548
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 2: He made some big plays on Sunday. I know he

549
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 2: he was self critical because I know he gave up

550
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 2: their first stchoun because he was supposed to spy Lamar and.

551
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 8: He ended up green dogging.

552
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: But I mean, like I mentioned last week, I want

553
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: him to succeed and play well because that's the best

554
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 2: case narrator all of us.

555
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 1: I know you do betray let me, let me, let

556
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: me bear my soul here a little bit. And I

557
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: did last week too. I mean to say that you

558
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: were backup, dude, you started in the Super Bowl, you

559
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: won two rings.

560
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: I don't need to hear that from a guy who

561
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 3: ain't got no rings. I just don't.

562
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: Hey, people are gonna say what they want to say.

563
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: I came at him and he thought to need to

564
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 2: come back at me. More power to him. I can

565
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 2: take it. I was a backup. I'll say it on

566
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: some great teams got carried by some great players. I

567
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: have no shame in that whatsoever. So fine, I don't.

568
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: I don't care how to make Pro Bowl or All Pro.

569
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 2: But I got two rings to show for it, and

570
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: I'm happy. But he's allowed to say what he wants

571
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: to say. He was upset after that loss with his performance,

572
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 2: so more power to him.

573
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: Spoken like a man with a Northwestern education. Trade great

574
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: stuff as always, and we'll do it again soon.

575
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,399

Speaker 3: Mark Anything super G canet you a.

611
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 5: Hey, Mark, after his big time touchdown pass yesterday, do

612
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 5: you think the Steeler and pitt fanboys are ready to

613
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 5: hop back on the Doctor Kenneth's Picket bandwagon?

614
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

615
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: What he Let's see it says here eight for eleven

616
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: ninety seven yards one touchdown.

617
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 3: I don't know. Does that prolong his stay in the league?

618
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: Does that give him another year's backup with Las Vegas?

619
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: I don't know.

620
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: I would have figured he was ufl material not too

621
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: distant future.

622
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 5: Hey, I'll tell you what I think the Steelers quarterback

623
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 5: room the future should be Doctor kenneths Picket Senior, Eli

624
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 5: Holstein and Mason Hide schools keep drafting every quarterback.

625
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: Now you're talking, Let's go to Donnie in Washington. Donnie

626
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 1: ask Mark anything?

627
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 6: Hey, Mark, I just wanted to get your opinion soda

628
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 6: trend and have you ever had a dirty soda?

629
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 3: What is a dirty soda? I have never heard of that.

630
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 6: It's basically a Utah thing that was started by the

631
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 6: Mormons since they're not allowed to drink coffee. Can basically

632
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 6: date your favorite, mostly doctor pepper, and you put a

633
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 6: flavored syrup in it and creamer and it just picks

634
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 6: it up like a's a nice coffee.

635
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: To say I'm not interested would be in an understatement.

636
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to Greg, Greg gas Mark anything good day?

637
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: I said, good day?

638
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 5: Say Mark?

639
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 10: With the Steelers fans and the media reacting to Tomlins's

640
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 10: latest game win against the Ravens. Will anything change and

641
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 10: that's getting better or close to the playoffs game, let

642
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 10: alone a wild card? I am skeptical.

643
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 5: How about you?

644
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: I think they have a real good chance to win

645
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: the division, if only because Baltimore is not very good either,

646
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: and the Steelers now have a lead. They beat him

647
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: head to head, although they do have to play them

648
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: again in week eighteen, and the Steelers have a much

649
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: easier schedule moving forward than the Ravens do.

650
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: Is it a lock?

651
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 8: No?

652
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: Hell no, it's not even close to the lock.

653
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: But I think the Steelers aren't a pretty advantageous position,

654
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: which could all disappear if they lose to Miami, which

655
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: they could, Miami having won four straight and having a

656
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: real good running.

657
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 10: Game, right because Tomlin's doing to play down to easy

658
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 10: teams and he always ends up fumbling it.

659
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 4: So I'm just concerned.

660
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 10: Thank you for the call.

661
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 3: Thank you.

662
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: If they think Miami's an easy team, they're not looking

663
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: at the standings. Miami is exactly one game behind the Steelers.

664
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: Steelers seven and six, Miami six and seven.

665
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 3: Uh, let's go to Marty. Marty ask Mark anything?

666
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 10: Hey, Mark, I just was wondering, what do you think

667
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 10: the chances are are of Tomlin getting throwed out.

668
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: Or the Pirates winning having a wining season.

669
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tomlin's going to coach the Steelers as long as

670
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: he wants to, So I would say the chances of

671
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: the Pirates having a winning season, while not good odds

672
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: or astronomically, better than tom Win getting throwed out. As

673
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: you said, let's go to Dick in Churchill. Dick ask

674
00:32:58,840 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: Mark anything.

675
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

676
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 11: I was curious if you saw your favorite gym teachers

677
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 11: performance last night.

678
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 5: Travis Kelce.

679
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 11: He had one catch for eight yards, a drop that

680
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 11: led to an interception, and then two drops on the

681
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 11: final drive on back to back plays that were right

682
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 11: in his chest, and I think it's time to retire.

683
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: Well, No, he's definitely washed up. He's old, he's had

684
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame career, though. I can't be too critical,

685
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: but I didn't expect a good year from him this year.

686
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: I didn't expect Kansas City to make the playoffs this year,

687
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: and they're not going to. They've played too many extra

688
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: playoff games, the equivalent of a full extra season in

689
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: the last what five or six years. But he's a

690
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: great tight end. The local gym teacher had zero sacks,

691
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: So there you go. Not a great day for Jim Teachers,

692
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: although he was part of the containment of Lamar Jackson.

693
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: Let's go to a talkback super g.

694
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say, I don't care if Jori's been

695
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: playing good for two months.

696
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 8: He still gots to go.

697
00:33:59,200 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 9: Go.

698
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 3: That suck as gots to go.

699
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, very poor James Franco imitation from This is the End. Yeah,

700
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: you can't destroy the locker room. You can't destroy the team.

701
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: Haven't got off to a good start by trading a

702
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: guy who's largely responsible for it.

703
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 3: Can't do it, just absolutely can't do it. You can

704
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 3: revisit it, but you can't do it.

705
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 4: Now.

706
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 3: Let's go to Ken and Beaver.

707
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 7: Connie Ken, Well, mister Madden, thank you for the video,

708
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 7: chet birthday gift.

709
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 3: And the cameo. Yeah, glad to get paid for it.

710
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 3: What else you got?

711
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 4: Yeah? Oh?

712
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 7: A quick question about the Steelers. Can they doug ten

713
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 7: and seven and win the division?

714
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: I think nine and might win the division?

715
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 7: I think you're right, sir, because it's a mediocre division.

716
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 4: Honestly, just there.

717
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: I think they're unlikely to go ten and seven, although

718
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: maybe if they win two of the next three, which

719
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: they should, and then you play Baltimore in a game

720
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: that's meaningless to both teams, then again, I can't imagine

721
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: that's I think Baltimore is gonna go into that last

722
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: game with some mathematical chance.

723
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: Who knows, maybe they stumble between now and then.

724
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: But the Steelers I think I think nine and eight's

725
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: probably more likely.

726
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 3: Let's go to David.

727
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 4: Hey, Mark, I know I'm trying to like coach Tomlin.

728
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 4: What's up with him blowing that kiss last night? Did

729
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 4: you see that on TV? When he blew the kiss

730
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 4: to the cameras well?

731
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to like him, but he won the game.

732
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: He can do whatever he wants. Let's go to a talkback.

733
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 8: Mark, do you think it might take Harball being fired

734
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 8: for coach t to also get fired? And moreover, who

735
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 8: do you see as the best and worst opponent if

736
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 8: the Steelers sneak in the playoffs?

737
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: First of all, you talk like a jerk off, second off,

738
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: best and worst opponent, They wouldn't beat Buffalo, they wouldn't

739
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 1: beat Houston because of that defense. That have a chance

740
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: against LA maybe against Jacksonville in the first round.

741
00:35:59,080 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 3: In terms of.

742
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and Tomlin both get I mean that one has

743
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: no bearing on the other.

744
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 3: They're not.

745
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times I have to say

746
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: they're not getting rid of Tomlin, but they're just not.

747
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: They're absolutely one hundred percent not getting rid of Tomlin,

748
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: no matter what happens between now and season's end.

749
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 3: No matter what happens, let's go to a talkback.

750
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 2: Mark, do you think you'll ever reconcile with the nature boy?

751
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: No, you can still get your calls in eight three, three,

752
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: four one two wxdx.

753
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 3: Actually
