Vincent said 208 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: he would only ship each single once he had reached 209 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 2: one thousand pre sales. His site listed eighteen song titles 210 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 2: while promising and more, meaning that the complete album would 211 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 2: cost each fan at least three thousand, six hundred dollars. 212 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 6: The guitarist was quick. 213 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: To defend his plan against complaints and concerns expressed by fans. 214 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: He argued that illegal downloading, streaming, and other changes in 215 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: the music industry over the past few decades made it 216 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: otherwise impossible for him to be paid fairly for his music. 217 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 6: And he's saying that, you know, there's no. 218 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: Way to record a record like this without bootlegging, just 219 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: basically make it impossible. But he says, unless I get 220 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 2: compensated for my work, the album stays unheard. But what 221 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 2: I want to get down to is the quote the 222 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: Hubris here. This made me oh, I had popcorn.

There's no way, because even if you 354 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 6: made out. 355 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 4: If you got the second base, you'd be like, ah, 356 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 4: I feel like there's a third person in the room 357 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 4: right now. 358 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: Are you babysitting something? 359 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 6: What's happening? 360 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 5: Well? 361 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: Good luck to them both cloudy and breezy today. It 362 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: is a high of forty seven. 363 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 5: Your honor. 364 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 4: Something to present, you know, Mike's on the way with 365 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 4: your sports here the Steelers getting set for the Texans. 366 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 4: It's Monday night wild Card action in Pittsburgh. Big news 367 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 4: in the AFC North yesterday Harbaugh getting fired just absolutely 368 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 4: crazy to me that that happened in such short order. 369 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: I don't think it was because of the Miskick. 370 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 4: I think that this was set up and ready to 371 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 4: go if they did not get a championship, at least 372 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 4: representing the AFC and the AFC Championship. They've just not 373 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 4: had enough success with Lamar Jackson, and he and John 374 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 4: Harbaugh have very obviously been at odds all year. 375 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: And maybe for multiple years. I mean even. 376 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 4: After the game on Sunday night, Lamar was like he 377 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 4: couldn't be bothered to ask about Harbaugh's future. But the more, 378 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 4: we're not sure when we're gonna be able to talk 379 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,479 Speaker 4: to you next After this this offseason, there's a lot 380 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 4: of questions about either your contract, your salar cap number. 381 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 5: Do you do you feel you'll you'll be back as 382 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 5: the Rings quarterback in the season. 383 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 10: We just lost a game, you know, a divisional game, 384 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 10: you know, a game to put. 385 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 5: Us in the playoffs. 386 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 10: I'm not even thinking about that right now, to be 387 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 10: honest with you, I'm still caught up in what just happened. 388 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 5: You know, that's not my focus right now at question 389 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 5: about our last future as well? Do you do you 390 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 5: do you want to see John being the coach? 391 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 10: Rum you you asked me about next year? Jamison, I'm 392 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 10: so caught up in what just happened tonight. 393 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 11: I can't. 394 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: I can't focus on that right now. 395 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 5: I just told you, like he asked me, are you stunning? 396 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 5: I'm stunning right now. 397 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 10: I'm still trying to process what's going on. 398 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: Like I know, we lost, but like you know, but 399 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: where am I? He's very definitely dodging the question there. 400 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 4: Prior to Hardwall getting guests, I think he probably made 401 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 4: it clear to ownership that it's like, hey man, this 402 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 4: isn't working, and. 403 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: It it hasn't been. 404 00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 4: They were afc Odds on Favorite going into the season 405 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 4: this year and five star just a brutal start to 406 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 4: the year that they could never overcome. And then the 407 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 4: injury to Lamar keeping him out for a few games. 408 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 4: They could not rebound. They lost a bunch of games 409 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 4: they should not have lost. 410 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: So a bit of a. 411 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 4: Surprise and a shakeout. No more Tomlin Harbaugh Steelers Ravens matchups. 412 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 4: I'm kind of sad about that. Yeah, I love that rivalry. 413 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 4: Will ask Merril Hodge his thoughts on the Steelers as 414 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 4: they get set for the Texans. This is gonna be 415 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 4: a tough one at eight o'clock, eight to fifteen. Rather 416 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 4: kickoff here Monday night with Rob King, Max Starks, and 417 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,719 Speaker 4: Missy Matthews on your radio home of the Steelers. Why 418 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 4: don't two point five DV Sports. Mike Pursuit has got your. 419 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: Sports right now, your radio home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. 420 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: DVE Sports is upbrought to you by Bridgeville. 421 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 11: Apply it so when they haven't had the time or 422 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 11: for some other reason, the ability to get the ball 423 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 11: down the field. This season, Steelers have had a cheap 424 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 11: coat in their passing game, one of which Mike Tomlin 425 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 11: is well aware. 426 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 12: I can't say enough about the two running backs. They 427 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 12: were impactful. They were impactful in the run. They were 428 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 12: impactful in the checkdown game, winning one on one opportunities 429 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 12: in the flat and so forth, and turning short games 430 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 12: into longer ones. And that quite frankly, has been a 431 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 12: recipe for how we functioned all year. Those two guys 432 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 12: and their ability to win in the flat and win 433 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 12: and checkdown like circumstances. I thought that was significant. I 434 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 12: thought also as a game, we're on our third down 435 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 12: conversion rate and particularly our. 436 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 5: Ability to win some longer ones. 437 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 11: Yeah, that was Mike Tomlin talking about his running backs 438 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 11: Kenny Gamewell and Jalen Warren. And we've both seen what 439 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 11: those guys can do. Get them the ball in space, 440 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 11: They make people miss. They turned a short dump down 441 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 11: into a first down or a significant game. But here's 442 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 11: the rubb as it relates to Monday night against the 443 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 11: Houston Texans. The Texans defense is built to stop that 444 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 11: very thing, among a lot of other things. They have 445 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 11: tremendous speed on defense. It is hard to run or 446 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 11: throw the ball sideways against these guys. It's hard to 447 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 11: go right at them too, but you have a better chance. 448 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 11: I think of going at them than you do getting 449 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 11: to the edge and turning it up or making the 450 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 11: miss in the open field. They're very good tacklers. It's 451 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 11: it's throughout the defense. And the two edge guys, Daniel 452 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 11: Hunter and Will Anderson Junior. They're not just I'm gonna 453 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 11: rush the passer and get my sacks and screw the 454 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 11: running game. I mean, they're they're complete. They're complete players, 455 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 11: and it's a strength for the Steelers to get the 456 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 11: ball to warn and gain well. But it's also a 457 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 11: strength of the Texans to prevent that kind of thing 458 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 11: from happening. So, uh, you know, buckle up. That's going 459 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 11: to be a significant part of the matchup. Houston will 460 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 11: do what it does defensively, and that will not be 461 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 11: hard to identify. 462 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 12: They're not trying to split the atom schematically. They don't 463 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 12: have to when you have corners and edge. Russia's like that. 464 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 11: Yeah, the two corners, Kamari Lassiter and especially Derek Stingley 465 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 11: number twenty four, they're gonna get up in your face 466 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 11: and play press man and say not today. So it's 467 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 11: gonna be fascinating to see how that plays out. You know, 468 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 11: the simplicity of that Houston defense kind of takes away 469 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 11: Aaron Rodgers superpower of being the great dissector and the 470 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,239 Speaker 11: guy that you can't confuse, right it don't care if 471 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 11: you know what they're doing. Because they're fast, and they're 472 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 11: angry and they're physical. They basically a lot of them 473 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 11: say go ahead, do it. We're gonna knock you down. 474 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 11: JJ Watt was doing the color commentary on the Texans 475 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 11: season finale on CBS against the Colts last Sunday, and 476 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 11: Iron Eagle asked them what makes the Texans defense so special. 477 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 11: Watts response quote the violence, the way they get, the 478 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 11: way they set the edges and get everything inside bottled 479 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 11: up so you have nowhere to go. It's a very 480 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 11: simple defense. They don't run a ton of different coverages. 481 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 11: They don't run a lot of exotic blitzes. So I'm 482 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 11: going to have to win physically, and you're not going 483 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 11: to win often. The good news is I don't think 484 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 11: their offense is going to win often either. 485 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 4: There was this weird period where our offense was sputtering 486 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 4: and I thought, like, I almost want to have our 487 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 4: defense on the field. Something's going to happen defensively before 488 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 4: it's going to happen offensively, feels like this might be 489 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 4: one of those games where the defense can set up 490 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 4: the offense with a big play. 491 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 5: I think you're correct on that. 492 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 11: Again, the Steelers defense statistically, body of work wise, does 493 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 11: not look intimidating. Certainly not historic, but kind of Ever 494 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 11: since that Buffalo game, it's getting better and better and better. 495 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 11: Even the Cleveland game, they were, you know, outstanding. They 496 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 11: played well enough to win at Cleveland, though the offense 497 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 11: was mia. The offense did not have DK Metcalf in 498 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 11: that game. More in the season finale against the Ravens. 499 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 11: It will have Metcalf against the Texans. So there's that, 500 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 11: but it's going to take more than that. 501 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 12: Certainly awesome to have DK back, but we're not going 502 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 12: to exhale and think that DK automatically with his presence 503 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 12: is going to be a difference or the difference football 504 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 12: is the ultimate team game is going to require great 505 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 12: effort from all parties involved, but certainly excited about doing 506 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 12: it with them. 507 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 11: You know, another part of this matchup that might make 508 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 11: the Steelers a little less than thrilled. One of the 509 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 11: things they feed on our turnovers and takeaways being plus 510 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 11: in the turnover takeaway differential, Houston plus seventeen in takeaway 511 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 11: giveaway behind only Chicago, which was plus twenty two, and 512 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 11: in terms of giveaways, Houston only turned it over twelve 513 00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 11: times all season, second to Chicago's eleven. Now, Steelers been 514 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 11: good in both of those departments as well, but the 515 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 11: Texans do not screw it up, probably because they have 516 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 11: a great defense and they don't panic, and they don't 517 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 11: force a lot of stuff. If it ain't working, they 518 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 11: punt it and say, okay, deal with these guys. And 519 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 11: they have a great kicker and ky fairmurn. So if 520 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 11: this thing comes down to protect the ball, punt it 521 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 11: and you know, try to flip field position and kick it. 522 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 11: They can play that game. 523 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: All right. I don't like the scenario you're sitting here. 524 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 11: I'm not saying it's impossible, but they're favored for a 525 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 11: reason and. 526 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 4: They should be, you're sure of it feels to me 527 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 4: describing like better Steelers. 528 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: Yes, you know it's a bad feeling. 529 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 11: If you rewind the clock a few years, you probably 530 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 11: have an appreciation for what it's going. 531 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 5: To look like. 532 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 4: Meryl Hodg will be joining us after the commercial break, 533 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 4: But I do want to get to this.

How much did you love the Steelers 633 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 4: defensive plan against the Ravens this past Sunday? 634 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 5: Well, thanks command. They'd always done a really good job 635 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 5: against their run. 636 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 9: I mean, they don't had moments that They've never really 637 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 9: been hammered the entire game. You know, it's not maybe 638 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 9: that playoff game where you know they just laid an egg. 639 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 9: They've done a good job schrammatically, you know, effort wise 640 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 9: and fundamental wise. You know that that's what you gotta do. 641 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 9: You got to be fundamentally sound at this point. You know, 642 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 9: that's what wins. That's the difference in games. You know, 643 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 9: like they're two big plays, you know where that they 644 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,240 Speaker 9: gave up. We're a mental bus. You know, got account 645 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 9: for who you have. You know, you know you you 646 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 9: avoid those probably don't give those two dag plays. So 647 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 9: you know, it wasn't it isn't like, you know, you 648 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 9: just can't match up to these guys and they're just 649 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 9: better than you. You know, that's just not the case. 650 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 9: You know, you you and go forward. It's going to 651 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 9: be the same way. Everybody is really good. And now 652 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 9: it comes down to, like, you know, every detail of 653 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 9: every play, you know, from a. 654 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 5: Mental perspective to a fundamental perspective. 655 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,919 Speaker 9: If you focused on those two things in the entire game, 656 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 9: the outcome will be obvious. 657 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,479 Speaker 4: It seems that it seems like Arthur Smith and Aaron 658 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 4: Rodgers and company have agreed with the team who voted 659 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 4: Kenneth Gainwell team MVP that the offense really needs to 660 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 4: go through him in Jalen Warren. 661 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 14: Those guys are just outstanding after contact well, and it's 662 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 14: easy to get them the ball. You know, you know, 663 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 14: I think I say this probably a zillion times a year. 664 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 14: It is and because it's fundamentally true, it's not changed. 665 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 14: There's a lot of things that haven't changed in the 666 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 14: National Football League, and this is the one thing. Actually, 667 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 14: these two things have not changed and they'll never change. 668 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 9: The team that controls the temple of the game has 669 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 9: the best chance to win it, especially if they don't 670 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 9: turn the ball over. And to control the gain is 671 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 9: the ability to run the ball and stop the run. 672 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 9: When you do that, you dictate, and I maybe people 673 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 9: don't understand what that ultimately translates to. 674 00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 5: So when the Steelers run the ball with. 675 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 9: Great efficiency, they dictate what that defense has to play, 676 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 9: They know what coverage they have to play. 677 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 5: Lots easier to throw the football. 678 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,360 Speaker 9: When I don't run the ball very well well, you 679 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 9: can do a lot of things thematically to confuse me 680 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 9: in the passing game, and then then you better have 681 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 9: somebody like Aaron Rodgers to handle that. 682 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 5: But when you do that, you control that defense. 683 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 9: You know one of two things they're going to do 684 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 9: in the passing game, and then when you stop their run, well, 685 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 9: now you have you have your entire board open to 686 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 9: do stuff to them, from pressures to changes to different coverages, 687 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 9: and you make it more confusing for them. But if 688 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 9: you don't do that, then then it's a problem when 689 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 9: you do do that. So to go through those two guys, 690 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 9: you control the environment. You dictate what's going on. And 691 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 9: when you can control and dictate, you're gonna win a game. 692 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 9: You're gonna win the game. 693 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 11: Meryl, who do you think has the edge to Randy's 694 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 11: point about Gamewell and Warren, those two guys in the 695 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 11: flat with the ball or the Texans team speed and 696 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 11: tackling a building on defense. 697 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 5: That's a tough one decide which it is. Let's say 698 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 5: I go back to what I just. 699 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 9: Said at the very beginning, Okay, who mentally you know, 700 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 9: that's why I like and we get raised for the draft, 701 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 9: like we always talked the one of the most important 702 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 9: aspects of a player transitioning. I don't care what the 703 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 9: positions to, by the way, is their intelligent level, their 704 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 9: ability to understand and their instincts to play the game, 705 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,439 Speaker 9: and their knowledge of the game. 706 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:30,280 Speaker 5: And they're passionate. 707 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 9: Okay, that right There is such a critical component to 708 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 9: have a chance to transition because in college you just 709 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 9: don't need that as much. Your athletic ability can be 710 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 9: enough for you anyway. That matchup you just described, is 711 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 9: it going to be? There's your difference. You know how 712 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 9: the Steelers are able to handle that and manage that. 713 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 9: I mean, if they're good. 714 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 11: Back and you can make guys miss, can you make 715 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 11: everybody miss? Or do you get to the point like, 716 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,879 Speaker 11: oh damn, I can't make you miss? Not all the time, 717 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 11: not all the time. 718 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 9: You know, there's probably one guy that's ever done that 719 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,240 Speaker 9: in the history of the game, and that's Walter Payton, 720 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 9: you know. I mean, but I will tell you this, 721 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 9: Barry Sanders guy, Well, Barry Sanders got you in more 722 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 9: trouble than he got you out. 723 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 5: You'd be studying. 724 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 11: He would go backwards and try to turn it into 725 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 11: a home run. On the other side of the field. 726 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of times he had more negative places. 727 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 9: Than just about anybody. Okay, so that's my point. But yeah, 728 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 9: there's no doubt he was the most electrifying and exciting player. 729 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 9: And I'm not I love Barry Sanders I and his 730 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 9: that I know nobody that created more headaches to get 731 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 9: ready for. I think I've told you how we prepared 732 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 9: for him one day. It was it took us twelve 733 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,480 Speaker 9: to twelve players to do it. To simulate his ability 734 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 9: to make a cutback, it took us two backs. We 735 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 9: had twelve people on the field when we're practicing to 736 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,360 Speaker 9: try to simulate how he ran in the walks. We 737 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 9: didn't have any runner could do what he did, but 738 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 9: Walter Payton was by Yeah, what he made people miss 739 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,720 Speaker 9: it was always second and six, not second at fifteen. 740 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 9: So that being said, these guys are second and sevens 741 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 9: second and six. These guys made people miss. They got 742 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,240 Speaker 9: they're great, they got great feet, they got great power, 743 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,760 Speaker 9: they know how to run in our league. They break tackles, 744 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 9: so you know, getting them rolling and getting them going. 745 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 9: I don't think there's any question you can help neutralize, 746 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 9: you know, what they like to do up front, because 747 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 9: they pitting there here all of them, they all four 748 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 9: of them. You go to those drag races, see those 749 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 9: cars start out. Okay, there you got like four drag races. 750 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 9: It's like four. But they snapped the ball like oh, 751 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 9: they are gone. So you know you got to have 752 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,799 Speaker 9: a plan for that. Yes, you got a block them 753 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 9: at times, but then game planning, call, play calling is 754 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 9: a real critical component of neutralizing them, you know, not 755 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 9: letting them just get off, you know, make they can 756 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 9: then play lateral, making them think of they off of 757 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 9: motion and shifts that may occupy a little bit of 758 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 9: their their their speed of getting off the ball. So 759 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,240 Speaker 9: that's what I honestly, that's what I love about NFL 760 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 9: football versus college football. You just don't get that in 761 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 9: college football, the sematics, the scheming that just doesn't exist 762 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 9: in the National football It gets a requirement and the 763 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 9: better you do that, the better chance you have will win. 764 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 1: The other matchup. That's got me fascinated. 765 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 11: I'm not necessarily impressed by the Texans O line, particularly 766 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 11: a tackle. Yeah so given that obviously Anderson and Hunter 767 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 11: are great edge rushers, but Watt Heismith aren' chopped liver. Uh, 768 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 11: Who's got who's got the pressure edge advantage. You know what, 769 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,800 Speaker 11: I could actually call that a draw based on the 770 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 11: depths that we have, you know, because you're you're right there. 771 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 11: They're office blind is not something that's just like, well, 772 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 11: they're a juggernaut. The one thing that they do to 773 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,319 Speaker 11: help them is they do they do not deviate from 774 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 11: the run. They run the ball, and then they run 775 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 11: the ball. 776 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,760 Speaker 9: They keep running the football even if they're not effective running, 777 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 9: they do stay with their. 778 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 5: Quarterback is dangerous. 779 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 9: His ability to throw, his accuracy, his processing ability, you know, 780 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 9: and he's not I mean, you know Lamar Jackson, but 781 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 9: he has mobility, and but his ability to throw a 782 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 9: football man, he can make throws that the elite, only 783 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 9: the elite can and he's the scariest guy, you know. 784 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 5: So getting him off his. 785 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 9: Place and making him uncomfortable it will be a critical component. 786 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 9: But they do a good job of realizing their weaknesses. 787 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 9: To all the teams at this point are not dumb. 788 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 9: Even they know who what they are and who they are. 789 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 9: They're not walking like We're not going to walk in 790 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 9: there and just leave our tackles hanging out there. You're 791 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 9: gonna have a plan for that. He says, people are 792 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 9: going to be there and you might actually be able 793 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 9: to build off what you did in Cleveland. Like you know, 794 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 9: let's like say like gain Well, I would not waste 795 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 9: gain Well as much chipping. If I'm doing that, then 796 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 9: he's got to be a part of Aaron's stock process 797 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 9: of getting a ball to him right away if we 798 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 9: don't have things down the field, so we get into 799 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 9: these hands one way or the other, and usually in 800 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 9: space on the other side of the defensive line. So 801 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 9: I think the Cleveland game helps them because it's so 802 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 9: fresh and they have a similar defensive line and how 803 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 9: they go about getting off the ball. 804 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 5: That will help them get ready for this one. 805 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 4: Merril Hodge here on your radio home of the Pittsburgh 806 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 4: Steelers one of two point five TV. I just want 807 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 4: to go out with this. You mentioned Walter Payton. Didn't 808 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 4: you succeed the back that succeeded Walter Payton? Weren't you 809 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 4: after Neil Anderson? 810 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 5: Yes, we went in. 811 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 9: Uh, we have had a whole group of backs that 812 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 9: went into Chicago. In fact, remember they made that they 813 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 9: wrote an article about you know, Matt Sue and Walter 814 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 9: Payton and me. 815 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 15: I think it was Lewis Tillman from the Giants. Me 816 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 15: and Louis Tillman had come in to and uh uh yeah, 817 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 15: right into Chicago with a uh the vision and actually 818 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,800 Speaker 15: they started the whole team, to be honest with I 819 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 15: think there was like seven new players on offense that yeah, 820 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 15: we had. 821 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 1: And he was the coach, right yeah, Dave Wants. 822 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 9: That was the coach day wants that I I loved 823 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 9: what they wants to love playing for Dave Wants that 824 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 9: he was. 825 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 5: He was a big reason I was there, you know. 826 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 5: He They just they just signed Cam Hayward. I mean 827 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 5: not Ironhead Hayward. You talk about embarrass Okay, this was you. 828 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 1: And Ironhead in the backfield. 829 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,240 Speaker 5: Okay, they had just Ironhead. Hayward was there the year before.
