1
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: W dv E, Pittsburgh, an iHeartRadio station.

2
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: Guaranteed human.

3
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: Rogers steps up, and Rogers is sacked and the ball

4
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: is loose, and it's picked up by Sheldon Rankins, and

5
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 3: Rankins is sprinting down the field and Rankins has scored

6
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 3: a Houston Texans touchdown.

7
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 4: And with that, the game was pretty much over for

8
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aaron Rodgers fumbling there and giving up

9
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 4: a defensive touchdown. It would be the first of two

10
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 4: that quarter, and Aaron Rodgers career with the Pittsburgh Steelers

11
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 4: may have culminated with a pick six in which he

12
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 4: totally whisked out on the tackle.

13
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: And that, to me was when I realized, oh, he's done.

14
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: This was it.

15
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: He's not even gonna try to make that tackle, because

16
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 4: why would he.

17
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: He's done playing.

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean he might be done playing, but we're

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 5: beginning an off season that's gonna be at minimum three

20
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 5: months of Aaron Rodgers Like, well, if I did come back,

21
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 5: here's how I would do.

22
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: It have to be lots of changes. You're gonna have

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: to think about this one.

24
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna, you know, get with my family and

25
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: walk under a blanket on the beach for five months,

26
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 4: yell about Calvin Austin running the wrong route. I mean,

27
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers was pissed off all night, and I don't

28
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 4: really blame him. I mean, he didn't have a lot

29
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: of protection. This's a great defense, make no mistake about it.

30
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 4: Didn't have a lot of protection last night when he

31
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: did have time, though there were times Aaron was missing

32
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: wide open guys. I mean he was making it harder

33
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 4: for them because he did not have a great game.

34
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 4: But nobody on the offense did, save for Gainwell and Warren,

35
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 4: who I still don't understand why we just didn't run

36
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 4: the Bejesus out of those guys. But you know, the

37
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 4: Steelers took some shots downfield. Eventually, they threw it to

38
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 4: Mooth eventually. But I think there are so many problems

39
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: with this team, Arthur Smith's very one dimensional offense.

40
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: It's just I mean, the dink and dunk king.

41
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: And maybe that's only because they never went out and

42
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 4: got a second receiver second year in a row. That

43
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: Omar and Mike Tomlin thought they'd be okay with just

44
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 4: one receiver threat, or maybe they thought John new Smith

45
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 4: would be more failed experiment on John hu failed, didn't

46
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: go well, Aaron Rodgers failed failed experiment. I think he

47
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: was much more promising had they surrounded him with some

48
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 4: better assets than Russell Wilson would have been. But enough

49
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: with this. Let's you know, we need the Drake May,

50
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: we need a bow Knicks. We need one of those

51
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 4: young guys to come in here and develop and play

52
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 4: at a level that is necessary to win in the NFL.

53
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: The Steelers haven't had that in a long time since

54
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 4: before Ben's elbow injury. And it's maddening right now to

55
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: see this wound back and a lot of questions as

56
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 4: to whether Mike Tomlin will be back. I mean a

57
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: little overreaction Tuesday here, but I just don't see how

58
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 4: anybody thinks it's gonna be any different going forward that

59
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 4: the old way of doing things isn't working now. I'm

60
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: sure Michael had plenty of reasons when he comes in

61
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: here as to why it wouldn't be such a bad

62
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 4: thing if they brought Mike back. They are going to

63
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: bring Mike back unless Mike wants to walk away.

64
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: That's pretty much a short at this point.

65
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 4: But it feels like we are stuck in a loop

66
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 4: of mediocrity. It's like the Pirates are in a loop

67
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: of futility?

68
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: Are the Steelers in.

69
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 4: That much of a different one currently? Other than it's

70
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 4: only been nine years instead of thirty nine years.

71
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 5: Playoff futility a different level, a higher echelon of futility.

72
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: Championships still eluding them by a great deal.

73
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

74
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 5: I feel a little stupid having celebrated so hard after

75
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 5: the Ravens win.

76
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 4: Now, don't don't. Don't get mad at yourself for that.

77
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 4: Beating the Ravens is always cost for celebration. No, yeah,

78
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: it was if you waited to me, No, no, no,

79
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: you kept the Ravens out of the playoffs and got

80
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 4: their coach fighters All right, you're right, that's it.

81
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: This was the coach.

82
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: I mean, there was a lot to celebrate there, Tad,

83
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 4: But don't forget that might have been for us the

84
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 4: goalpost game. You know, that might have been the fans

85
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 4: rushing the field in college football and taking the goalpost down.

86
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: You never win the next week after that happens, and

87
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: you know they might have I.

88
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 4: Almost use a metaphor that would have got us in

89
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 4: trouble but used up all of their emotional Yeah, yes,

90
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 4: there we go.

91
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: Thanks Sammy, you know what I'm talking about.

92
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 6: It's all gone now, Yeah, it's all gone now.

93
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 4: I need to build this up from my refractory period

94
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 4: for the does that have a progesteron blocker? I need

95
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: some of that te goo that Porky puts on his neck. Anyways,

96
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: it's disappointing, no doubt about it. We did get an

97
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 4: entire weeknd of football full of hope, so there was

98
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 4: that too.

99
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: You're watching playoff football and thinking this could be us.

100
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: The Bears did that could be us.

101
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 4: Look at all this fun that everybody's having. You could

102
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 4: get back to having fun again. And the way that

103
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 4: game started, I thought, oh my god, we're gonna win

104
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 4: this game. We are gonna win this game. Yeah, and

105
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 4: then that defense stiffened up. And I don't understand the

106
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 4: play calling with Arthur Smith. They they are a tough

107
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 4: team to run on. And you know, I understand how

108
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: great of a defense that is. But no defense in

109
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: the NFL should make you look as bad as the

110
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 4: Steelers offense looked last night.

111
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: It was just pitiful.

112
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: DK Metcalf coming off a two game suspension, dropping a huge,

113
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 4: huge throw from Aaron Rodgers. I mean it would have

114
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 4: gone for a big game at a time they needed

115
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: it to. That ended up being a minimum ten point

116
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 4: turnaround because they took the ball down and scored.

117
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: I think that was their ninety two yard drive there

118
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: following that.

119
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Metcalf play was the one that I kept

120
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 5: coming back to.

121
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: It is like, oh, if we had just done that,

122
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: you know, but when you're doing that, like, but that's

123
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: how bad thing, that's a feudal things were.

124
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's like, oh, if we had just

125
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 5: got that one, remember that opportunity we.

126
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: Had, maybe that would have that would have kicked in

127
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: all of our momentum.

128
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: But they had the momentum and they pissed it away.

129
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: Steelers lose thirty to six, thirty to six. They gave

130
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: up twenty three points in the fourth quarter.

131
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: The pit so not exactly.

132
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: They forgot to do that thing where you hold four

133
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 4: fingers up in the air after the third quarter. That's

134
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: why they're like, we forgot what quarter was ceedars Stroud

135
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 4: stunk and he still had two hundred and fifty yards.

136
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 6: That was the biggest in tellus he sucked, yeah for

137
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 6: a majority of the game, and we couldn't do anything

138
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 6: with it.

139
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: Defense made him stink though.

140
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I saw a lot of people

141
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 4: railing on the defense because I think they just got

142
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 4: worn down. Yeah, they gave up yards, but it was

143
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: ben don't break and they were getting turnovers.

144
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: I mean I thought that I thought the defense.

145
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 4: Had a good enough game for the Steelers to win

146
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: if the offense could do anything. They never made the

147
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: Texans play from behind, just a joke.

148
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 5: I mean, three turnovers, you know, And I find myself

149
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 5: doing this all the time, and I hate it. It's

150
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 5: like it's a bad habit to get into. But if

151
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 5: you told me before the game they're gonna get they're

152
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: gonna be plus three, well, I know, at one point

153
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: plus three and turnovers and the final score is going

154
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 5: to be thirty to six, I would be like thirty

155
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 5: to six Steelers.

156
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, Christian Kirk diced them up one hundred and

157
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: forty four yards receiving last night.

158
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 5: Christian Kirk was in the Steelers wide receiver two sweepstakes.

159
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 5: Which makes that even more frustrating is that he was

160
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 5: the guy that, you know, everyone was linking to the

161
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 5: Steelers as the possible robin to DK's back batman, and

162
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 5: you know, and then he slaughtered them last night, destroyed.

163
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely destroyed him eight catches last night. I mean, the

164
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 4: Steelers had every scenario they could have wanted to win

165
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: that game except having a capable offense. The offensive joke

166
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: and the offensive line, by the way, picked their picked

167
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 4: up bad night for their worst performance of the season.

168
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 4: Troy five time, I've never seen him that bad. No,

169
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 4: he's the steady Eddies. The young Rock got absolutely owned

170
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: all night. The same with Mason McCormick. I mean, Mason

171
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 4: McCormick had a bad night. Dylan Cook as good as

172
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 4: he's been. You know, there's only so much you can

173
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 4: ask of a guy who's fifth on your death chart

174
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 4: or fourth on your death chart against all pros like

175
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 4: that that you had coming off the edges.

176
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

177
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 4: I feel somewhat released, you know, I don't know what

178
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 4: stage of grief I'm in right now. I'm not as

179
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: angry as I thought i'd be, because I don't think I

180
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 4: really believe this team was going to be good enough.

181
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 4: What I will be angry with is if this team

182
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: doesn't make changes and it's not going to be at

183
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 4: the coaching level, but their talent assessment is just poor

184
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 4: John new Smith was a joke this year. He was

185
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 4: in absolute embarrassment DK Metcalf. Unless you get him any

186
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: somebody else, he is not going to pay dividends. He

187
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: basically was like a more I don't know, polite George Pickens.

188
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 4: You know when he did you in trouble, you go, oh, yes, ma'am,

189
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: yes sir. And he was great interview, nice fella. Yeah,

190
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: you know, he seems like he's like cool to hang

191
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 4: around with and everything, but he can't do it by himself.

192
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. And Aaron Rodgers at forty two.

193
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: I just think there was more good than bad from

194
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers this year, but it was a far cry

195
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 4: from where he was. And last night I did not

196
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 4: think he was great. I don't think he thought he

197
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: was great. He did not have a lot of help.

198
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 4: He had receivers running in the wrong routes. You saw

199
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 4: him screaming, do your fin job. They weren't on the

200
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: same page. Okay, so you're running this back or do

201
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: you pray Arthur Smith gets a job somewhere else And

202
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 4: if so, do you bring in Mike McDaniel.

203
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 6: The annual thing is interesting. If Aaron stays, for sure.

204
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 4: Would hate him James Harrison already said no, f and way. Well,

205
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 4: not that he gets to make any decisions, but that

206
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 4: gives you the idea of what some of the Steelers

207
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: alum think.

208
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 6: Arthur Smith wants to go to the Titans.

209
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 4: Right, I mean I think he wants a head coaching

210
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 4: job if it'll become available.

211
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: He did not do himself any favors with that. Yeah night,

212
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: how would he get one? This is my question.

213
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 4: I don't think he's interviewing for any other job except

214
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: that one. That doesn't mean you have to keep in oc.

215
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 5: But it feels like it's the only way for them

216
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 5: that Bill part ways.

217
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: Did they ever catch fire or have a rhythm this year?

218
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 4: So he's like one or two games?

219
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: They won three in a row at the end, right, No,

220
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: But I mean offensively, we were like here they come again.

221
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I thought they got away from the run

222
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: all year, which was the thing that they should have

223
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 4: been building around. You know, I don't know what it

224
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 4: ended up being. You know, thirty three passes last night,

225
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: you know, they.

226
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: Were down a lot.

227
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 4: They just had to throw a non stop there at

228
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 4: the end. But Mason Rudolph was one for one by

229
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 4: the way, you know, quarterback rating of seventy nine point two.

230
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers rating last night was fifty point eight in

231
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: his likely last game in the NFL. Wolf Is it

232
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 4: his last game? That's what remains to be seen, I hope.

233
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 4: So what if it's only his last game for the Steelers?

234
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: Would you like to see him go play for somebody else?

235
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 4: I would, just so you can go now you have him.

236
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

237
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 5: I felt I feel like when sometimes if they're behind

238
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 5: the sticks or they're you know, behind the sticks metaphorically

239
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 5: like Okay, we got to get it back here. Rogers

240
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 5: this year was like the master of let's get it

241
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 5: all back on one play and then miss deep, miss

242
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 5: deep again, third and ten.

243
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

244
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 4: I felt like that happened all year when the defense

245
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 4: needed them to eat clock. Yeah, so they could get oxygen.

246
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: They just weren't doing it for him. Yeah, Michael have

247
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 4: more on it. A disappointing night, a very cold night

248
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 4: at Akershuer Stadium, but C. J. Stradden now approves his

249
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: record to two and three when the temperature is below

250
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 4: forty degrees, So there's that.

251
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: Where was the priest with the holy water last night?

252
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 7: Huh?

253
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah? Or was he? Where was he last night

254
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 6: and not blessing any one.

255
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: That should have been the halftime show. Just the priest

256
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 4: out there soaking the field. Yeah, and they could throw

257
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 4: a frisbee to him like he's one of those frisbee

258
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 4: dogs and he'd run out and catch it. But they're

259
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: holy water the whole way. Anyways, it was a good

260
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 4: run seeing La Troban's seven months all right, Abby's got

261
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 4: a news update for you. We'll talk with Tim Bens

262
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 4: in a little bit. He is not real thrilled. I

263
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: don't think with the idea of bringing back what we

264
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 4: just saw, she'd stare a tour. There are some questions

265
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 4: plays last night. You know that fumble for a touchdown

266
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 4: the big guy touchdown there? You know, I'm not a

267
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 4: big man touchdown always entertaining unless it happens to you.

268
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: Oh, when it happens to you, it's yeah, what are

269
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: we doing?

270
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 4: But Aaron Rodgers took a pretty decent shot to the

271
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 4: head on that one. Rob King will also join us

272
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 4: for a power hour of Stealer Talk. Abby's got your

273
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 4: news right now. Tad Whistle's hanging out with this lavin studio. Abby,

274
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: what's up news?

275
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 6: This hour brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store,

276
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 6: cloudy and breezy today rain this evening, and I of fifty.

277
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 6: Instagram maintains there was not a major security breach over

278
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 6: the weekend, but an outside firm disagrees. Sunday, malware Bites

279
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 6: said that users were inundated with fake emails telling them

280
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 6: to reset passwords because cyber criminals hacked over seventeen million accounts.

281
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 6: I got this fake email.

282
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: I got it twice, and I clicked on it.

283
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 6: I did too. Yeah, they believe the hackers took advantage

284
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 6: of a vulnerability in the Instagram AIP.

285
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: It took me to the actual site.

286
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 6: Same, so super confused, and I kept waiting for the like, gotcha, dummy,

287
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 6: But I never got it, and so I still have

288
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 6: done nothing about it. So I'm not really sure what

289
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 6: to do because Instagram didn't send anything to follow up

290
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 6: saying hey, by the way, you were half stupid. Listen

291
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 6: to me.

292
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: I have all of your dirty pictures.

293
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 6: You are filth.

294
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 4: I am going to send all of your filths to

295
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 4: your family and friends if you do not send five

296
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 4: thousand dollars to me immediately.

297
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 6: I liked the second one Power Byke, says the leak

298
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 6: databases contained usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, and in some

299
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 6: cases physical addresses that it's already uh selling on the

300
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 6: dark web. Instagram's parent company, Meta was a bit vague

301
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 6: when it said that it fixed an issue that let

302
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 6: an external party request password emails for some people. So again,

303
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 6: we really don't know what happened here. But every year

304
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 6: a company called nord pass goes through all the lists

305
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 6: of hacked passwords that get leaked on the Internet to

306
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 6: figure out the most common, easy and hackable passwords that

307
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 6: people are using. Believe it or not, once again, still

308
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 6: the most common passwords for people are still admin password

309
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 6: and one, two, three, four, five, six.

310
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: You got to be kidding me, not just a spaceball's joke.

311
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: That's that's pretty funny.

312
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 6: So here are eight password trends that you can leave

313
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty five. Okay, because I guess with this service,

314
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 6: they said that there are a few new password trends,

315
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 6: and you know, companies certainly like force you to do

316
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 6: to certain things. But here are the eight password trends

317
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 6: you can leave in twenty twenty five. One is special characters.

318
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 6: This is increasingly a requirement everywhere. The common one is

319
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 6: people use the at sign like and they use it

320
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 6: in the word password, and that's one that they say,

321
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 6: just like stop doing that. Everybody does that, so like

322
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 6: that's a common one whenever you still want to use password,

323
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 6: and they just use the a password equivalents things like

324
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 6: secret code, passcode, past key, or the word password in

325
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 6: other languages. It's not as clever as you think it is.

326
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 2: Password.

327
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 6: But I say it patriotic sentiments.

328
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: Jesus.

329
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 6: Some people are incorporating the names of their country, heritage,

330
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 6: or even political groups and movements. I guess that's easy

331
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 6: to guess somehow. Names and numbers. Names are two variable

332
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 6: to or to make lists of the most common passwords,

333
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 6: it's not difficult to connect the dots on the names

334
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 6: that you tend to use, especially if they're names of

335
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 6: people that you're related to and you regularly reuse them,

336
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 6: just with different numbers.

337
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with you.

338
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 4: I never thought anybody was like sitting down with a

339
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 4: list of tendencies that people have so much as there's

340
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 4: some I bought that's just continually attacking, just.

341
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 6: Just guessing things over and over.

342
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 2: Right.

343
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 6: That's what I thought, too, is it wasn't like going like, Ooh,

344
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 6: what's Randy into.

345
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: Right, Randy three sixteen?

346
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, wait a minute, do you not get me

347
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 4: down that rabbit hole because John three to sixteen played

348
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 4: a big role in the outcome of last night's game.

349
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm in conspiracy theory.

350
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 6: Twitter, Randy rabbit hole three sixteen exactly lucky numbers, They said,

351
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 6: the only thing worse than your preferred lucky number is

352
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 6: your birthday. Brand loyalty is something they tell you to

353
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 6: stay away from. But I don't know who's writing Netflix for.

354
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,919

00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: Let's get to the particular.

410
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 8: Statistically, Steelers now have the longest active playoff losing streak

411
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 8: in the NFL or thirty to six loss to the

412
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 8: Texans last night. Uh, snapped a tie with Miami at

413
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 8: six games apiece.

414
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 4: Got to be pretty good to lose twenty games in

415
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: Major League Baseball, right, Mike.

416
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 8: Steelers are the first team in NFL history to lose

417
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 8: five consecutive playoff.

418
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 2: Games by double digits. Yeah.

419
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 8: Last night's loss also snapped the Steelers streak of twenty

420
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 8: three consecutive home Monday Night wins that dates back to

421
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 8: nineteen ninety two. Mike Tomlin has now gone nine consecutive

422
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 8: seasons without winning a playoff game. That's the third longest

423
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 8: season streak without winning a playoff game by a head

424
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 8: coach with one team in the Super Bowl era. He

425
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 8: trails Marvin Lewis and Jim Mora hm and uh little

426
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 8: Cherry on top of the craft Sunday that picked six

427
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 8: at the end of the game was Aaron Rodgers first

428
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 8: in postseason play.

429
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, he could have tackled the guy. I mean, you know,

430
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 4: would helped. Really, did you see him?

431
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

432
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 4: At that point, what's push him out of bounce something?

433
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 4: You just delayed them. I'm not saying that changes the game, Mike.

434
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 4: I'm saying a lot of other things to complain about. You.

435
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: No, I'm just speaking to that statistic. Uh.

436
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 8: As for the reaction, the Houston defense did what the

437
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 8: Houston defense does, and things wound up collapsing off the

438
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 8: edge for the Steelers.

439
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 2: Here's Mike Tomlin. You know, it certainly was a step back.

440
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 9: I respect obviously their front and their capabilities and so forth,

441
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 9: but we certainly didn't play to our desires today. And

442
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 9: it wasn't like they were they were they were pressing

443
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 9: a lot. They weren't. That's not the style their four

444
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 9: man rush group. But it certainly was significant.

445
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 8: And the Steelers' response, or I shouldn't even say the

446
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 8: response they're planned for it.

447
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: I don't want to put this as bad as the.

448
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 8: Defensive game plan was in Baltimore last year, this was

449
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 8: the offensive a clip.

450
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: I would agree.

451
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 8: They trusted their tackles against the two best at rushers

452
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 8: in the game, the best tag team, not number one

453
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 8: and number two at rushers. But you knew coming in

454
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 8: that those guys could destroy you, and job one had

455
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 8: to be not getting destroyed. And the first couple of

456
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 8: downs there was a little help on the left side.

457
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 8: They left Troy on the right to pretty much be

458
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 8: Troy Favetanu.

459
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 2: And the longer the game went, the worst it got.

460
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 8: And uh the play that sums it up on a

461
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 8: lot of levels to me, Third and twelve from the

462
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 8: Steelers forty three eleven thirty four left in the fourth quarter.

463
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 8: They're down ten to six at this point. Throughout the

464
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh forty three, third and twelve, they've been trying to

465
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 8: get third and nine, third.

466
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: And twenty one, third and eight all night. Nothing's working.

467
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 8: They went empty, set, sack, strip, scoop score ballgame. Whereas

468
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 8: I would have thought, and I would have hoped at

469
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 8: that point run it wish they should have been doing

470
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 8: all night anyway on it.

471
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: And they got away.

472
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 8: From that punnet, try to flip the field and then

473
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 8: get the ball back and steal the game with the

474
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 8: drive late kind of like the way the Cleveland game

475
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 8: played out, except they didn't finish the Cleveland drive. In Cleveland,

476
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 8: they maniacally protected and couldn't score a touchdown as a result.

477
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 8: Last night, they rolled the dice that they could protect

478
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 8: without anything special extra, no no allowance for what they

479
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 8: were up against, and they couldn't score touchdown. That's malpractice,

480
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 8: So I guess We've gone from too hot to too cold.

481
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 2: They go, maybe next year will be just row. Next

482
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: year's the goalie lost year. I think we'll be fine.

483
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 8: The postseason agety continues, particularly for TJ. Watt, who was well,

484
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 8: he's never experienced anything else.

485
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: I mean, this is still fresh man.

486
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 9: It's extremely frustrating, extremely frustrating.

487
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 8: Now the off season questions commence, and no doubt the

488
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 8: biggest one of those is going to involve whether Aaron

489
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 8: Rodgers is done playing and if not, if he's done

490
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 8: playing here.

491
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 10: No, I mean, I'm not going to make any emotional decisions. Disappointed,

492
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 10: you know, obviously it's such a fun year. You know,

493
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 10: a lot of adversity, but a lot of a lot

494
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 10: of fun. Been a great year, you know, overall my

495
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 10: life in the last they last year, and this is

496
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 10: you know, really part of that coming here and being

497
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 10: part of this team. So it's disappointing to be sitting

498
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 10: here with the season over.

499
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 4: We talked about him being a bridge quarterback possibly next

500
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 4: year if he wants to come back to help develop

501
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 4: whoever they end up getting in the draft, assuming they

502
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 4: do go all in on a quarterback in this year's draft.

503
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 4: That being said, Mike, do you look around for another option?

504
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 4: If Aaron Rodgers does want to come back, is that

505
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 4: the decision.

506
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 8: I would have no problem with him coming back. I

507
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 8: thought he just had no time last night. I didn't

508
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 8: think he had a chance, and I mentioned, you know,

509
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 8: going empty set on third and twelve. I think suicidal

510
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 8: against those guys, the one at the end of the

511
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 8: second quarter. Ironic that one time Cook actually blocked will

512
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 8: Anderson into the ground and was lying on top of him,

513
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 8: and when Rodgers went to escape, he ran into the

514
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 8: pile on that third down. I don't know if he

515
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 8: could have got out onto the wing if anything would

516
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 8: have developed, and I just I would have thought, well,

517
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 8: my plan would have been to outlast the Texans, realizing

518
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 8: that they have a huge advantage from the pressure components.

519
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 8: I'm just not going to let that destroy the game.

520
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 8: I'm gonna run, run, run, punt, run, run, run, punt

521
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 8: because I'm thinking they're not going to score on me either.

522
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 8: I'll make this thing six to three if I have to,

523
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 8: but to let that unfold the way it did last night,

524
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 8: and I don't want to let the defense off the

525
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 8: hook either, because the defense got run on by Woody.

526
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: Marx by the third quarter.

527
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 8: The turnovers, you know, kind of saved face on the

528
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 8: scoreboard for a while, but they were they were being

529
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 8: dictated to and they were being pushed and controlled.

530
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 2: So it wasn't good. No, it was bad, very bad.

531
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 4: Steeler fans went from the elation of beating the Ravens

532
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 4: to the realization of what actually is in terms of

533
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 4: the composition of this team. And that's where I think

534
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 4: the biggest problem is. I think coaching is the second

535
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 4: issue to deal with on this team. To me, talent

536
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 4: assessment is their biggest problem.

537
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's I think that's everybody's biggest challenge,

538
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 8: but it's it's clearly this team's biggest issue. They didn't

539
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 8: Roban Wilson was a healthy scratch again last night on

540
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 8: a team that is picking up wide receiver was picking

541
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 8: up wide receivers off the street because it was an

542
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 8: insufficient wide receiver room.

543
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: Caleb johnsons, I.

544
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 8: Mean it's like they got two good running backs. I

545
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 8: mean that's not ideal, but the wide receiver one. I mean,

546
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 8: third round pick on that guy. For two years, They've

547
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 8: had problems Roman Wilson for two years. I've had problems

548
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 8: with wide receiver. He has been a zero factor.

549
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: I didn't understand it when they got him. I did

550
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 2: not understand that. Pick.

551
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 8: No, he's really productive in college and he measured well.

552
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 8: And you know, not everybody hits he did. It's going

553
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 8: to be like Hunter Renfro or one of those guys.

554
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 8: He was not just the whole composition of it. I mean,

555
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 8: you can have one small guy, you can't have three,

556
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 8: all right.

557
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,600

574
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 4: Trip Live Sports. Benzi, let me let me start by

575
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 4: asking you this pointing the finger of blame, do you

576
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 4: way more towards the game plan or the execution for

577
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 4: the Steelers.

578
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 11: Well, Mike Tomlin looked so down after that game last night.

579
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,479
Speaker 11: I really thought he needed to hold his head up.

580
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 11: So I just ran up to him and gave him

581
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 11: a big wet kiss on the mouth. Instead of by

582
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 11: I just bypassed the whole pep talk that that woman

583
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 11: in Jacksonville gave the coach Liam Cohen there, and I

584
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 11: just decided to kiss him on the face. And then

585
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 11: when Aaron Rodgers got the podium, I just gave him

586
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 11: a reach around. I mean, I thought that was Yeah,

587
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 11: that's that's what the Internet keeps telling me. This postgame

588
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 11: press conference are for, for genuine human reaction.

589
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you. Yeah, did you?

590
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 11: I kind of thought it yesterday? Was I thought? On

591
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 11: the offensive side of the they held their own against

592
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 11: the great pass rushers of Houston until was it the

593
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 11: second drive of the third quarter. It's kind of funny

594
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 11: because I tweeted it out. I said so far, and

595
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 11: I put so far in like asterisks and exclamation points

596
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,239
Speaker 11: and caps in bold, because it just it felt like

597
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 11: it still could be coming. You know, the Steelers front

598
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 11: seven is winning the battle because they had the two

599
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 11: strip sacks and three sacks overall, Whereas I think by

600
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 11: that point Rogers when it came to Hunter and Anderson

601
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 11: at least had been touched behind the line of scrimmage

602
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 11: once by those guys the whole game, and then the

603
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 11: damn broke. I just thought that the Steelers offensive line

604
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 11: broke about thirty five minutes into the game and they

605
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 11: never got it back. So that's on the players schematically,

606
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 11: you know, they they never figured it out. They never

607
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 11: figured out how to push the ball across the chains effectively.

608
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 11: They never figured out how to hand all third downs.

609
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 11: They never figured out how to stay away from Petrie.

610
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 11: I mean that might God, that guy was all over

611
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 11: the field last night for Houston and then on defense.

612
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 11: I don't know what that was, Mike, Maybe you can

613
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 11: tell me. I might just be missing. I asked TJ. Watt,

614
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 11: and he was so flummixed by a lack of answers

615
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 11: that I thought his answer was actually extremely revealing and

616
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 11: honest that they got their asses kicked by a Texans

617
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 11: offensive line that's not supposed to be any good and

618
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 11: a run game that's marginal on its best day. Like,

619
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 11: I don't think they got schemed in that run game.

620
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 11: They just got pushed around and that's not supposed to happen.

621
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how I saw that.

622
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 8: The fourth round running back Wooden Marks from USC had

623
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 8: eighty eight yards by the third quarter, which was more

624
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 8: than he had in any game all season.

625
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 11: Correct. Yeah, and they wound up with one hundred and

626
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 11: sixty four yards rushing.

627
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, kind of stopped the bleeding temporarily, But I don't

628
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 8: think it was well. The defense played well left to win.

629
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 8: They only gave up seventeen points. They got physically pushed around.

630
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 11: I don't know if you guys saw the meme that's

631
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 11: going around from that NFL Memes page. It's not fit

632
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 11: for human eyes, but it's just a still shot that

633
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 11: they created of the Steelers' last seven playoff games and

634
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 11: the scores where they took a picture of them from

635
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 11: the broadcast when the Steelers were at their greatest deficit.

636
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 11: It's a montage. It's just a still shot montage. You're like,

637
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 11: oh my god, it really has been that bad. I'll

638
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 11: tell you where I didn't like the scheme at all,

639
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 11: and that was the approach that they took to the

640
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 11: run game again. Like, I know that their yards per

641
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 11: carrie wasn't great, but I don't know what it felt

642
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 11: like to you guys. It felt like to me they

643
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 11: were still more effective in creating running lanes for the

644
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 11: backs than they were completing the wide open passes.

645
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 6: That they had.

646
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 11: Like, you know, they had an opportunity to be up

647
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 11: at least ten nothing, nine to nothing with three field

648
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 11: goals at the end of that first quarter, but they

649
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 11: were missing passes less than right Whereas I thought there

650
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 11: were alleys to be run in that first quarter, and

651
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 11: they didn't run up with Gainwell and Warren early.

652
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 4: I thought, But hasn't that I mean, I was tweeting

653
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 4: URTFB for the last month. I don't think they were

654
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 4: running the ball enough all fricking year. And I don't

655
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 4: know how they reassessed each week and didn't say, well,

656
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,959
Speaker 4: you know, what would have been better if we would

657
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 4: have just stuck with the run control the clock. That

658
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 4: has worked well for them, especially last night, Mike, Like

659
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 4: you said, lives to fight another day, don't let.

660
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 8: Their defense score on you, which they're highly capable of doing.

661
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 4: Fourteen points for them last night.

662
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 2: Under the cross under.

663
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 11: Did that cost the over under for some people?

664
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 4: Some precincts okay, good, Well some precincts, yeah, that's the key.

665
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 11: But well, the live to fight another Day thing was

666
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 11: something that C J. Stroud did not employ. I mean, like,

667
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 11: they got three turnovers against a team that never turns

668
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 11: the ball over, and they couldn't cash them in at any points. Like,

669
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 11: if this wasn't such a defining moment of their playoff ineptitude,

670
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 11: that would be the biggest talking point to if this

671
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 11: is a game that just happens in October, You're saying

672
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 11: that team never turns the ball over, they got the

673
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 11: ball back bunch, and they still couldn't put points on

674
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 11: the board. What's going on? But instead, you know, I know,

675
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 11: I was giving you guys a little bit agrief when

676
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 11: I was on with you last week after Baltimore, because

677
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 11: I don't I think we maybe overreacted to the Baltimore

678
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 11: win in the sense that calling it a playoff win

679
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 11: was almost like preemptively making ourselves feel better about what

680
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 11: was about to happen because we know this team is failures.

681
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 8: I can just I can just tell you from my perspective, Tim,

682
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 8: I called it a playoff win because it was winner

683
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 8: go home. I was not trying to forecast failure well

684
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 8: or protect against failure. I just think by definition it

685
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 8: was a playoff game. You win your gat.

686
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, well it doesn't count as ledger and I've got

687
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,919
Speaker 11: a seven game losing streak now in nine straight years

688
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 11: without a playoff victory.

689
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,520

693

00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 11: of the community, make the team feel better about itself.

695

700
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 12: Here's Tom Offerman.

701
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 13: The Steelers season end Monday night at the hands of

702
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 13: the Houston Texans. Thirty to six was your final score.

703
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 13: Houston's defense was as advertised, as they completely shut down

704
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 13: the Steelers offense, holding them to just one hundred and

705
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 13: seventy five yards of total offense and.

706
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 2: Limiting them to just two for fourteen on third downs.

707
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 13: The Texans pass rush was all over Aaron Rodgers, who

708
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 13: threw for just one hundred and forty six yards on

709
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 13: seventeen to thirty three passing. Houston sacked Rodgers four times

710
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 13: and had twelve quarterback hits. They also tacked on eight

711
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 13: tackles for loss as they completely blew up the Steelers

712
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 13: offensive line all night long. Defensively, the Steelers played decently

713
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 13: well in a game that entered the fourth quarter with

714
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 13: Houston leading just seven to six.

715
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 2: They got adequate pressure on CJ.

716
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 13: Strouds, sacking him three times and forced multiple turnovers. But

717
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 13: the biggest flaw by far on that side of the

718
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 13: ball was the inability to stop the run. Houston, who

719
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 13: averaged just three point nine yards per carry during the

720
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 13: regular season, averaged five point three against the Steelers as

721
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 13: they racked up one hundred and sixty four yards on

722
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 13: thirty one carries.

723
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 2: And one rushing touchdown.

724
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 13: The loss means the Steelers now have lost seven playoff

725
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 13: games straight as they continue to search for their first

726
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 13: season wins since the twenty sixteenth season.
