1 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: Joining me now to talk a little bit more football 2 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: from the Post Gazette. 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 2: He is Paul Seiss. Paulp. 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: I've been bitching all week about the Steelers using basically 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: seven offensive linemen with Washington at tight end and Spencer 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,159 Speaker 1: Anderson is the extra tackle. It's prehistoric. What do you 7 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: think is it good? Will it beat good teams in 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: big games? What about a playoff game? 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 3: Well, I think Mark the thing about it is they're 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 3: doing everything in her power to make sure that Aaron 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 3: Rodgers is still upright when it gets to the end 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 3: of the season. So I mean, I don't know that 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 3: I love it when they're playing against some of the 14 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 3: some of the high powered quarterbacks that they're gonna have 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 3: to see in the playoffs. But in terms of just 16 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 3: trying to maul some teams and and and and you know, 17 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 3: be able to run the football enough that you don't 18 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 3: have Aaron Rodgers taking as many because really the first 19 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 3: couple of weeks of the season, I thought Aaron Rodgers 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 3: was probably never gonna make it the week five because 21 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: they got hit too much and was getting He was 22 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 3: not just taking hits, he was taking big hits. So 23 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 3: I think, you know, part of what they're trying to 24 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 3: do with the running game is preserve their quarterback. If 25 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 3: that sounds if, if it makes any sense to you, 26 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 3: I think early in the season, I'm actually okay with it. 27 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: I really don't know that they have to do a 28 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 3: whole lot more than try and get to the end 29 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 3: of the year with Aaron Rodgers still being able to walk. 30 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 2: No, I get it, but my point would be that. 31 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: It keeps Aaron Rodgers from being Aaron Rodgers if that's 32 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: still possible at forty It eliminates some weaponry. A you 33 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: look at Fiarmouth and John who being minimized. 34 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: You're trying to win, not just keep him healthy. 35 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: It reminds me of when Arians his game plan put 36 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: Bennett risk, but they won more. I was okay with that, 37 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: right and every coordinator after that protected Ben, but they 38 00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: didn't win as much. 39 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's a catch twenty two. I think 40 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, like I said, at forty one, forty two 41 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: years old. You know, it was a year and a 42 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 3: half ago or whatever it was. Two years ago he 43 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: had a major major surgery. He's, you know, not the 44 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 3: most nimble of feet right now. They just can slowly, 45 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 3: but surely build on Aaron Rodgers. But here's the other thing. 46 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 3: I mean, I think that Aaron Rodgers might only have one, 47 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: you know, weapon that really scares anybody, and that's dk Metcalp. 48 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: So you know, if you want him to start slinging 49 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: it around the field, that might be okay, except for 50 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: I don't know that they have you know, the personnel 51 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: around him to do that. So to me, it feels 52 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 3: like they're just trying to build a little bit at 53 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 3: a time. But I do really believe that they are 54 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 3: trying very hard to make sure that Aaron Rodgers is 55 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: healthy and upright for you know, the stretch running the 56 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 3: end of the season. 57 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: And I don't even mind it against Cleveland because it 58 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: will help contain Garrett Is coming Sunday. But but again, 59 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: when they get the good teams, big games, playoff games, 60 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: I think you need to do more than this. Uh 61 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: what's your take in that vein Pall on how little 62 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: friarm was and Johnna were being underutilized. This offense was 63 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: supposed to be about the tight ends first and foremost. 64 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's real interesting. But it goes back 65 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: to what I said when they got John Smith, and 66 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 3: I said It's interesting. I keep hearing about all the 67 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: tight ends that he that that, you know, the Arthur 68 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 3: Smith once, but three of them aren't good blockers. So 69 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: if you've got three guys that aren't good blockers, you 70 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like to me, you're right, it 71 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 3: kind of goes counter to what it is you're trying 72 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 3: to do in the running game with the rest of 73 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: your offense. But it also means you probably can't use 74 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: those guys. 75 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: Here's a crazy stat, Paul. The Steelers running backs are 76 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: getting sixty four percent of the offensive touches. 77 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: Is that good or bad? 78 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: Uh? Boy? Probably not. It's probably not ideal. But again, 79 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 3: I think it goes back to what we've talked about 80 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 3: with respect to the uh you know, the receivers they 81 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: have and whatnot, and that is those guys I just 82 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: don't think they're that good. And so it's you know, 83 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 3: in general, when you see a stat like that, you say, well, 84 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 3: at who's expense, Well, as long as DK metcalf is 85 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: getting his touches, I don't know. I mean, throwing the 86 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: gagwell seems like just as good of an option as 87 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 3: throwing it to any of the other guys out there 88 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 3: that they have. 89 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: We're talking to Paul's ice to Postcausette here in the 90 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: Mark Mann Show, Paul's Worse Cleveland at Flato's gone. Five 91 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: rookies of starting, including Gabriela quarterback. Are the Browns moving forward? 92 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: Are they just trading? 93 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 3: I would like to believe for their sake that they're 94 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: moving forward on some level. But the problem is it's 95 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: the Browns. And the other part of it is they've 96 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:24,239 Speaker 3: so badly mangled the quarterback positions that I cannot imagine that. 97 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 3: You know, it's not that it's gonna turn out okay, 98 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 3: that Dylan Gabriel. I mean, you know, it's the Browns. 99 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 3: You're thinking exactly like I am, which is that he's 100 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: going to be a disaster. Suder Sanders is going to 101 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: be a disaster, and so all those other rookies that 102 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 3: are playing and playing well, it's gonna be pretty much 103 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 3: useless because they you know, they're on a team that 104 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 3: isn't very good. Dude. 105 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: The Steelers have the AFC North locked up, but three 106 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: and one, with the rest of the division in tatters, 107 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: not least at the quarterback position, with all those teams 108 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,239 Speaker 1: except maybe. 109 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 3: Glee well locked up, is probably a little too strong. 110 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 3: But I mean, Mark, you look at the other three teams, 111 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 3: they all look like they're just not They're not just bad. 112 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 3: They're a total disaster, you know. In the Ravens, I mean, yeah, 113 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson can come back, but I hope he can 114 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: score fifty or sixty points a game for them, because 115 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: that defense is ridiculously bad. I'm glad that the Bengals have, 116 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 3: you know, dusted off Joe Flacco to try and you know, 117 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 3: win a game or two. Uh, but it sounds like 118 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is gonna be out for like eight or 119 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: nine games, so you know by the time he gets back, 120 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: they'll probably be buried. So basically not locked up. But 121 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 3: it would take in monumental failure on the half of 122 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 3: the steel on behalf of the Steelers for them to 123 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 3: not win the AFC North at this point, because I 124 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: look at the Ravens and I think with that defense, 125 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 3: and you know, a couple more weeks of Cooper Rush, 126 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 3: you know, they could be every bit of like one 127 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 3: in six at some point. 128 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 2: No, I agree with all that, And here's the prediction 129 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 2: I feel safe making. I think the. 130 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: Steelers will have a two game lead in the Division 131 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: when they played Baltimore on December seventh, and the week 132 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: before when they played Buffalo. I think they'll be in 133 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: the hunt for the AFC number one seed overall. Whether 134 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: they hold on to either let alone that number one seed, 135 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: which I think is a real long shot because of Buffalo, 136 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think that's how we'll shape 137 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: up at that juncture. 138 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 3: Are you buying the Colts at all? 139 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. 140 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: I think they'll be in the talk for what I'm 141 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: talking about, number one seed then, but I don't know. 142 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean, they got the best running back in football 143 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: with Taylor and Danny Dimes. 144 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: It's a real renaissance, isn't it. Yeah. 145 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: I mean I'm looking at their offense and you know, 146 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 3: what's the guy's name, their coach Stech. Yeah, yeah, the 147 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 3: offensive coordinator from the Eagles. I mean to be honest, 148 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 3: if this goes on for another two or three weeks, 149 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 3: if I'm the Giants, I'm firing this. The bull guy 150 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: who was supposed to be the offensive guru and everything else, 151 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 3: from the simple fact that he obviously has no idea 152 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: how to work with a quarterback. Seeing as the kid 153 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 3: comes to Indianapolis, it looks like a pretty good player. 154 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 3: So I don't know yet if I'm buying the Colts, 155 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 3: but every week I come away from the weekend saying, boy, 156 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: they might be the most impressive team in the AFC 157 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 3: right now. 158 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: Paul Quick College Football Talk, what's your take on Penn 159 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: State's lost to UCLA and what James Franklin. 160 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 2: Got to do the rest of the season to keep 161 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: his job. 162 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think he'll keep his job. I 163 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 3: mean again, the fifty six million dollars, I don't care 164 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 3: what school you are, and you know, unless you're one 165 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 3: of those Texas schools with oil and gas money, that's 166 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 3: a big buyout. Fifty six million dollars, I think is 167 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 3: what I've read his buyout is. It's interesting. I know 168 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 3: that they appear to be Detton buried, and you know, 169 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 3: you lose a play a listless game against a horrific 170 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 3: team and lose, you know, but if you look at 171 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 3: the rest of their schedule, if they run the table, 172 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 3: they'll be in the playoffs. And I'm not saying they 173 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 3: can beat Ohio State. Maybe they can't even beat Indiana, 174 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 3: but they you know, they win those two games, and 175 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: they finished ten and two I'm pretty sure they're gonna 176 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: be in the playoff and then pretty much everything else, 177 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 3: you know, goes away. So I think what he needs 178 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 3: to do is win sort of the confidence back of 179 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 3: maybe his players, the fan base, and the administration. But 180 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't see unless they go two and 181 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 3: ten or you know, four and eight, and I don't 182 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 3: think it's gonna even be a discussion to fire. And 183 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 3: they might, they might ask him to make some changes, 184 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: you know, on his staff and do all those things. 185 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 3: But to me, I just think that's a really big 186 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 3: buyout to try and fire a guy. 187 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: What about the quarterback, Drew Aller, Do you think he's 188 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: still a first round pick? I feel like him in 189 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: arts Manning might drop out of the first round, or maybe, 190 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: in Manning's case, stay in school another year. 191 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Manning should probably stay in school another year. 192 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 3: Drew Llar right now, I don't know that he the 193 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: first rounder in anybody's mind. And I also, you know, 194 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 3: one of the things that's interesting is we were told 195 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 3: that they have the two best coordinators in the country, 196 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 3: you know, because they spent all his money on these 197 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 3: two coordinators. And the thing I keep reading is that 198 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 3: a Lar does not fit into the system. And the 199 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: kid that they let go to like Missouri or wherever 200 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 3: the hell he went is the guy that probably should 201 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 3: be the the you know him. So it's kind of 202 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: interesting because that probably tells me that Drue Law is 203 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: probably not going to really fix whatever it is it's 204 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 3: ailing him during the season. But again, with his physical tools, 205 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 3: he could go to the combine and still solidify himself 206 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 3: as a top you know, as a first round pick. 207 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 3: We've seen stranger things. 208 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: What about pitt In this went over Boston College. 209 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: A lot of people are going nuts, just like the 210 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: Niver Holstein last year. I like the way this new 211 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: kid quarterback, the eighteen year old Heinschel, how he looked. 212 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: But all they did was be the craft team, right. 213 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 3: They'd been a terrible team. And you know, I think 214 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 3: one of the things I'll tell you may Heidchel was 215 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 3: the best quarterback in pitch spring. I wrote about that 216 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 3: several times. He was the best quarterback in training camp, 217 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 3: and actually it wasn't even close. So it's interesting. You know, 218 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 3: they lose a couple of games and all of a sudden, 219 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: the guy that they're paying all the money too goes 220 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 3: that goes right, out the window and and and they 221 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 3: you know, because I think that honestly, Pat and Mardosey 222 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: was starting to feel a little bit of heat after 223 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 3: losing to West Virginia then blowing that game against Louisville. 224 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: You know, at that point it's like, well, I know 225 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 3: that we paid this guy all his money, and we 226 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 3: got a payroll and all this other, but we need 227 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 3: to win. It's just kind of comical to me because 228 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: anybody that watched even a little bit of spring and 229 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 3: training camp will tell you the Heinchel Kidd was the 230 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 3: best quarterback in camp and it wasn't even close. 231 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: Paul, great stuff, Thank you so much for taking the time. 232 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: We'll talk again real soon. 233 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 3: All right, thiks Man, talk to you soon. 234 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: That's Paul's eis. 235 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: This segment brought was by eighty four Lumber Dynasty, partner 236 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: of the Pittsburgh Steelers. We got more Steelers talk at 237 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour with Jerry Dulac. 238 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 2: Get your calls in now. 239 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: It's your first chance of the day really to break 240 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: through and talk to the super genius A three three 241 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: four one two ninety nine thirty nine eight three three 242 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: four one two ninety nine thirty nine. 243 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: It's the OI Show weekday mornings. 244 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: It's always break to hear from the lady callers to 245 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 1: the X. 246 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 4: At one oh five nine. 247 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 2: Numb one one the X. 248 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: We got Jerry Douloc talking Steelers to the bottom of 249 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: the hour. I think the Steeler are gonna win this game. 250 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be well, it'll be one score game. 251 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: It'll be close till the end, but I don't think 252 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: the result will be in doubt. I don't. I do 253 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: want to see what happens if the Bronze make Zach 254 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: be the number two quarterback and leave Shador at the 255 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: emergency spot. What the reaction to that is by ownership, 256 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: who clearly wants Shador to play. Maw and Pau sanders Cleveland, 257 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: they just can't get away from drama, even when things 258 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: are moving, however, slightly in the good direction, what with 259 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: five rookies played in, including Dylan Gabriel, who I thought 260 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: played just fine despite losing to Minnesota in London last week. 261 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: Cleveland's got a good defense, Cleveland's got a lot going 262 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: for it, but they just can't get out of their 263 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 1: own way. And like Paul's I said a few moments ago, 264 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: you just can't trust him to do the right thing 265 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: at quarterback. Look at all the quarterbacks they've used since 266 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety nine when they came back into the NFL. 267 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: I think they've started what over forty quarterbacks in games 268 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: since then. And while I do like Dylan Gabriel to 269 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: this point, I don't think he's the answer. 270 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 2: I don't think he's their long term quarterback. Who knows. 271 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: Maybe, But if Cleveland wins like three games this year, 272 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: which is what might happen, you know, four or five games, 273 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: what if they get a chance to draft one of 274 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: those so called stud quarterbacks in the first round. Do 275 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: they eschew that and take a player at a different position 276 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: and just stick with Dylan Gabriel. It's very early returns 277 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: on Dylan gab where you couldn't commit to him one 278 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: way or the other in that regard. But they, again, 279 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: the Browns can't get out of their own way. I've 280 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: been keeping an eye on the baseball playoffs. One thing 281 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: you gotta like is the Yankees being out kind of 282 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: ignominiously in the division series Toronto. You know, really was 283 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: never in danger of losing that series. They win three games. 284 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 2: To one, and the Yankees. 285 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: You know, with all the national media on their size side. 286 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 2: This just monstrous. 287 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: Payroll third in the league this year, traditionally top two, 288 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: top three, and they haven't won a World Series in 289 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: sixteen years. They made one last year but didn't win it. 290 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: That's the only time they've made the World Series since 291 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: having won it sixteen years ago. You know, their fans 292 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: are pissed. The New York media's pissed. You know, good 293 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: f the Yankees. I can't stand the Yankees. Same with 294 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: the Mets. The Mets said, I think the second highest 295 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: payroll in baseball this year and did not even make 296 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Playoffs, But but interesting discussion. I forget who 297 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: it was. I had sound, but I didn't play it. It 298 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: wasn't that interesting. Oh here it is a Rod and 299 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: Derrek Jeter talking on Fox the post game of that 300 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: Yankees loss. And they blamed everybody but Aaron Boone. Aaron 301 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: Boone's like the whipping boy, the manager for the fans. 302 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: They blame him, But you know what they blamed. They 303 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: blamed the analytics. They said, Aaron Boone isn't the guy 304 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: making the decisions. He gets every decis made for him 305 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: by an iPad.

Jerry Dulac, Jerry, how will does Steelers deploy 347 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: their secondary without Jalen Ramsey, who's not only their best 348 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: d back but kind of a Swiss Army knife. 349 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 2: A lot kind of revolves around him, doesn't. 350 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 6: It, Yeah, Mark, because he's able to play three different positions, 351 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 6: and without him, they'll go a little bit more standard 352 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 6: with you know, Warren Thornhill along with Deshaun Elliott, and 353 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 6: then the two cornerbacks are you know, rotate a third 354 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 6: one in there, but you know, Darius Slay and Joey 355 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 6: Porter Jr. So it'll be a little bit more of 356 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 6: a standard defense in the back instead of the varied 357 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 6: looks and groupings that they have when Jalen Ramsey can play, 358 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 6: there's no doubt it'll be you know, it'll be a 359 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 6: little different for him not having Jalen Ramsey. 360 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: Now that said that Steelers defense is kind of running 361 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: in the form lately, isn't it? 362 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 6: Mark Best I seen him play all year. No, I 363 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 6: know that's a low bar. But for three and a 364 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 6: half quarters, they look like what everybody has expected them 365 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 6: to look, including themselves. You know, they dominated Minnesota, held 366 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 6: him the seventy yards rushing, six sacks, thirteen quarterback hits, 367 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 6: two takeaways. That's what they paid all that money for. 368 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 6: With that defense, and so they finally got to got 369 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 6: their money's worth against Minnesota. Now we'll see if that continues, 370 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 6: but there's no doubt that was the best they've looked 371 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 6: all year. 372 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: Has Harmon made a big difference the rookie defensive lineman 373 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: since he came back from injury. 374 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 6: I don't want to say he's made a big difference, 375 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 6: but he certainly has made a difference because one, it 376 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 6: gives him a talented guy up front who both you 377 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 6: know can play the run and rush the passer if 378 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 6: he has to. But there's no doubt having him in 379 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 6: there gives them that extra body to be able to 380 00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 6: rotate some of the others. 381 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 3: I A. 382 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 6: Black has been a big positive as well. But there's 383 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 6: no question what they see from Derek Carmon is certainly 384 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 6: why they feel they drafted him where they did, and 385 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 6: for just you know, for missing the games that he 386 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 6: did early. He's played very very well and he has 387 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 6: made a difference. 388 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: We got a big matchup Sunday, Jerry between two guys 389 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: who will never be on the field together, TJ. Watt 390 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, two of the very best defensive players in football, 391 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: two big money contracts, two edge rushers. Do you think 392 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: TJ sees this game is bigger because Miles Garrett's on 393 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: the other team. 394 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 6: I don't think there's any question mark professional athletes when 395 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 6: they you know, and he's been asked about, you know, 396 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 6: in the past, about who should be defensive Player of 397 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 6: the year. When you get those situations, there's no question 398 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 6: about it. As a professional athlete, you want to outperform 399 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 6: the guy to whom you're always kind of compared to 400 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 6: or competing against on the other team. I will say 401 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 6: this with the retirement of Aaron Donald, to me, Miles 402 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 6: Garrett is probably the most disruptive player in the NFL 403 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 6: because of how he plays, where they use them, how 404 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 6: they move them, and you know, his numbers, while they're good, 405 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 6: may not. It's kind of like Aaron Donald. Aaron Donald's 406 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 6: numbers weren't weren't eye popping, but man oh man, the 407 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 6: other teams had to do a lot change their game 408 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 6: plan to account for him always know where he was. 409 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 6: And Miles Garrett is that kind of player in that vein. 410 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: The Steelers have basically lately been using seven offensive linemen 411 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: on a lot of snaps what with Spencer Anderson's the 412 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: extra tackle and Mount Washington is the tight end. Will 413 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: that continue Sunday given the threat of Garrett and how 414 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: much does that help in that situation? 415 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 6: Well, Mark, Yeah, they won't with that heavy package against 416 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 6: the Vikings because of the front that they play, and 417 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 6: I think you can you'll continue to see it. I 418 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 6: don't know that you'll see Spencer Anderson play nineteen snaps again, 419 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 6: and you'll see Darnell Washington play the majority of the steps. 420 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 6: I mean, Pat Fryerman has had fifteen snaps against the Vikings. 421 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 6: He's played fewer snaps so far this year than both 422 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 6: tight ends Johnny Smith and Darnell Washington. I think you'll 423 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 6: see that change against the Browns. You know, they it's 424 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 6: every week market, it's always evolving, and just because what 425 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 6: they did one week was success doesn't mean they won't 426 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 6: replicate it or try to replicate it. But you always 427 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 6: see him adjusting because the other teams start getting you know, 428 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 6: they make changes too to account for what the Steelers did, 429 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 6: you know in the previous game. So we'll see. I 430 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 6: don't think they're going to abandon it because they had 431 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 6: such success running the football with it, and of course 432 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 6: that's what they want to do. Barkers run the football. 433 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the seven lineman protects Aaron Rodgers too. My 434 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: only concern there is it prevents Aaron Rodgers from being 435 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers because it depletes his number of targets. And 436 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: I just don't think you beat good team in big 437 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,479 Speaker 1: games using seven offensive linemen. 438 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 2: And I don't think he come from behind against anybody. 439 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 6: Well, that's for sure, Mark, and I agree with you, 440 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 6: And you've heard me say many times. They didn't bring 441 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers in to be a mailman. He's a gunslinger, 442 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 6: and so you know, they want somebody to hand the 443 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 6: ball off. They can find a lot of people to 444 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 6: do that. But obviously it goes beyond that. Aaron Rodgers 445 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 6: at the line of scrimmage is the best in the league. 446 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 6: He's seen everything. You see him getting in and out 447 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 6: of not necessarily plays, but formations and routes for his 448 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 6: wide receivers, and he's just so good at it. And so, 449 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 6: but you're right, I think you're going to see a 450 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 6: little bit more friar moooth this week. You know, No, 451 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 6: Calvin Austin, I don't know. We haven't seen a lot 452 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 6: of downfield passing. We haven't seen a lot of dropback 453 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 6: passing if you think about it. From Aaron Rodgers, they 454 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 6: haven't been in the red zone a lot, only thirteen times. 455 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 6: That's the sixth fews in the NFL. Granted they played 456 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 6: one fewer game than twenty eight other teams. When they'd 457 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 6: have been in the red zone, they've been efficient converting 458 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 6: nine times and that's pretty good. I think that's eighth 459 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 6: in the league. 460 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: What about what about John Who? Because John didn't play 461 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 1: much against Minnesota. 462 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 6: Either, same reason as Friarmuth. They wanted a bigger, bigger 463 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 6: lineup in there. You know, John Who's even smaller than 464 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 6: Pat Friarmuth. I got a kick out of Mike Tumblin 465 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 6: the other day putting Connor Hayward and Pat Friarmuth in 466 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 6: the same sentence in terms of musical stature. In Connor 467 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 6: Haywood's six foot and two thirty, Pat Fryarmuth is sixty 468 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 6: five almost two sixty. I fairly don't think there's a 469 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 6: that's an apt comparison. But John who Smith is even 470 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 6: smaller than that, so that's not what he does well. 471 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 6: But I think they start they're going to need to 472 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 6: start getting those guys, especially Friarmuth involved in the passing 473 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 6: game more, especially without Calvin. 474 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: Austin, with Laren apparently available, who's going to be the 475 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: number one backer will be like by committee? 476 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not even enough for debate Mark Jalen Warren 477 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 6: as they're running back. But what we have seen all along, 478 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 6: even when Jaylen Warren is healthy, Kenny Gainwell plays a 479 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 6: lot and he will continue to play a lot. He 480 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 6: certainly showed last week what he can do. They they 481 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 6: kind of knew that. I always liked him when he 482 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 6: was with the Eagles, Mark, and but I don't think 483 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 6: anything he did last week is going to change the 484 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 6: pecking order. I really don't know that it's going to 485 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 6: amount to more snaps for game. Well, maybe a few, 486 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 6: but he's been playing a lot anyhow, even when Jalen 487 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 6: Warren's been healthy. So you know, we'll see, but there's 488 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 6: no question it might be more instead of number one 489 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 6: and number two. Maybe it gets more to what we 490 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 6: saw the last couple of years with Najie Harrison, Warren 491 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 6: one and one A. 492 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 2: The running backs have sixty four percent of the offensive touches. 493 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 2: I'm not sure what that means. Jarre, what do you think. 494 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not sure what it means either, but what 495 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 6: it does mean is that's kind of how they you know, 496 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 6: they don't want Aaron Rodgers is certainly at least right 497 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 6: now throwing thirty five to forty times a game. I 498 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 6: think in the opener mark right, he threw thirty three 499 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 6: times and he was sacked four times, So that's thirty 500 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 6: seven dropbacks. 501 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 3: I don't think they really. 502 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 6: Want to play like that, even though he played very well, 503 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 6: very productive, had four touchdown throws, and so I think 504 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 6: they've tried to develop the run game, get you know, 505 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 6: be able to use play action, even though we saw 506 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 6: play action work again in New York took perfection even 507 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 6: though they couldn't run the ball. But it's something that 508 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers does very well. But I just think it's 509 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 6: a byproduct of kind of how they want to start 510 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 6: the season to get that running game going, and we 511 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 6: saw a little evidence of that last week. Obviously, one 512 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 6: hundred and thirty one yards not bad. 513 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 2: Where's Cleveland at Flacko's gone? 514 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: Five workers are starting, including Dylan Gabriel quarterback. Are the 515 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: Browns moving forward or just moving deck chairs around on 516 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: the Titanic mark? 517 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 6: That's what they are, you know they and that's you know, 518 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 6: it's a firm Denaley d Are depending on which is 519 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 6: the most dysfunctional franchise in the National Football League. And 520 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 6: it's hard for me to say they have a plan 521 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 6: because I don't think they ever have a plan. It's 522 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 6: why they flounder around the way they do year after year. 523 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 6: Even when they had something going with Baker Mayfield, they 524 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 6: tried to move away from him and bring into Shaun 525 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 6: Watson and that's just blown up in their face. So 526 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 6: they bring in two veteran quarterbacks. They trade for Kenny Pickett, 527 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 6: they bring in Joe Flacco, and now they're going to 528 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 6: go into a regular season NFL game with two rookie 529 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 6: quarterbacks who have never won a game. And you know, 530 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 6: to me now that Deshaun Watson could come back this year, 531 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 6: that's a possibility. But while the Bengals make a move 532 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 6: to get a veteran, which tells you they probably think 533 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 6: they can still be in the race, when the Browns 534 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 6: do what they do, that tells me then you know 535 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 6: that they don't have a plan to stay in a race. 536 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 6: They're just going to stockpile some picks and tried play 537 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 6: for another year. But they do that all the time, Mark, 538 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,479 Speaker 6: and it never works out. And that's not starts at 539 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 6: the very top of the organization. 540 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: It strikes me that their owner wants Shedor to play 541 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: because he's clearing the path for it by trading Flaco. 542 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: The coach doesn't. 543 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: And there's even a report Jerry that with the Flacco gun, 544 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,719 Speaker 1: Bailey Zappi might be the number two quarterback in Shador 545 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: still might be the third string. 546 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 6: Well that's possible, but again that could be up to 547 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 6: the owner because it appears that he's calling the shots. 548 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 6: Stefanski did not even know that Flacco was going to 549 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 6: be traded, and so you can see where that's coming from. 550 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 6: It's the same reason they drafted Shador Sanders. That was 551 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 6: not the coach or the GM, that was the owner 552 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 6: telling them what to do. And so but it depends, Mark, 553 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 6: if you elevate a player, elevate not sign them, elevate 554 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 6: a player from the practice squad. I'm still trying to 555 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 6: get this determined from the league, to get some clarity 556 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 6: whether he has to be the number two if he's elevated, 557 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 6: or you know, he can be the third quarterback if 558 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 6: you But if you sign him to the active roster, 559 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 6: then you could designate them to be whatever you want. 560 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 6: But if he's merely elevated, I think I think he 561 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 6: has to be the number two quarterback. 562 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: A lot of people were saying the Steelers have the 563 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: AFC North locked up, but I bet they do lead 564 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: it by the time they played Baltimore on December seventh, 565 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: which may or may not be a key game. 566 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 2: What do you think, how sikuur are they? 567 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: Because I know they are only three and one jerion 568 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: and they are not without flaw, but the division is 569 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: in shambles. 570 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, Mark, you know, I went back and look, it's 571 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 6: the first time since Bill Kauer was coached in nineteen 572 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 6: ninety two that the Steelers have led the division after 573 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 6: five weeks and the other three teams in the division 574 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 6: were under five hundreds. Never happened before, And not that 575 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 6: that's a historic, significant moment or occasion, but I think 576 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 6: what it points up is the Steelers have built themselves 577 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 6: a nice little advantage. But Mark, way too early. A 578 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 6: couple of things. The schedule's been easier, it gets harder. 579 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 6: The Ravens are playing the hardest schedule started the schedule 580 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 6: in the league. The Rams this week are the fifth 581 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 6: twenty twenty four playoff team, they will have already faced theirners, 582 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 6: schedule will get easier, and we know the Steelers history 583 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 6: in December. Does that mean it's going to repeat. No, 584 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 6: but for the last six years we've seen them have 585 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 6: three game losing streaks in December. 586 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 3: So it's a. 587 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 6: Long way to go. They have a nice two and 588 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 6: a half game lead on on the Ravens, which is 589 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 6: what interests them the most, but long way to go. Mark. 590 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 2: I think the Steelers win Sunday Jarre, how about you? 591 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: But I bet it's a one score game because I 592 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: feel like that's what Tomlin wants every week. 593 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 2: And I bet it's a rock fight. 594 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's gonna be a low scoring game, Mark, 595 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 6: And hey, look it could be one score. I have 596 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 6: it like at twenty three twenty three ten, and I 597 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 6: think is what I said. But you know, we're seeing 598 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 6: the offense, you know, unlike last year, start quick and 599 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 6: when they have to finish strong, they have it's and 600 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 6: in between, you know where they haven't performed very well. 601 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 6: They haven't run a lot of offensive plays. Mark. They're 602 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 6: averaging like fifty two plays. The opponent's averaging like sixty six. Now, 603 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 6: part of that is a byproduct of the defense, but 604 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 6: those plays were inflated last week by those last two series. 605 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 6: But I think after after what we saw in Ireland, 606 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 6: the way the defense played and the offense being you know, 607 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 6: fairly efficient, especially in the red zone. Uh, you know, 608 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be more than a one score game. 609 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 6: But Mark, it's the NFL. We see it every week. 610 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 6: Who knows what can happen. 611 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 2: Jerry, great stuff, Thank you for taking your time. 612 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 6: We'll do it again next week always, Mark, good chat 613 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 6: with you, my friend. 614 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: That's Jerry Dooak in the post because that brought to 615 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: us by bud Light.

For my show, my notes are almost exclusively handwritten. 653 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 2: If I'm working at. 654 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: Home, I'm generally sitting in my big easy chair watching TV. 655 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: He kind of his background music, background noise, whatever you 656 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: describe it as. 657 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 2: And I make my notes with paper on a clipboard. 658 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 3: Gotcha, thank you? 659 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: Okay, if you're inspired by that, you're a less Serman 660 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: than I would hope you are. 661 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 2: Let's go to a talkback. 662 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: Hey, Mark or Ryan Graves ever play another game in Pittsburgh. 663 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 2: Again, that's a good question. 664 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: Obviously signed Graves to a contract that was too much 665 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: and for too long. He's in Wilkes, having cleared waivers. 666 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: He could be called back up christin Jarry was last year. 667 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: But my hunch is no. My hunch is they've turned 668 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: the page on that. And I gotta be honest, I 669 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 1: think Graves is a gutless wonder. I think when challenged 670 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: to improve, he he turned tail and fled even this 671 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: year in a more systematic system, a defensive way. Of 672 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 1: playing that Dann mws is trying to install. It should 673 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: have been fitted him. He should have looked better in 674 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: camp than he did than under the Celly system, which 675 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: did not fit him well with all the pinching and 676 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: all the activating. But again, Graves didn't rise to the 677 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,479 Speaker 1: challenge of camp or in the exhibition game. So I think, 678 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: barring emergency, he will not play another game here in Pittsburgh. 679 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,959 Speaker 7: Let's go to a talkback kid, I said, Virginias, I'm 680 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 7: just wondering what your thoughts are about Tarantino bringing out 681 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 7: the whole Killed Bill saga two parts in the one 682 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 7: four hour feature length movie for a couple of extra 683 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 7: bits cheer man. 684 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's overkill. I'm really not that interested. 685 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 2: I mean, are Tarantino's movies overkill in the first place, 686 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 2: too long? I mean they're good, but no, I'm not interested. 687 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: And the Kill Bill, I'm not sure that was his 688 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: better work those two movies. The first one was okay, 689 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: second one, and I did like when the girl got 690 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: buried alive though, that was that was a pretty good scene. 691 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike. Mike, you're on with double M. 692 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 6: Hey, Mark, thanks for the call, Hey, When do you 693 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,760 Speaker 6: think the NHL started going like softer with like hitting 694 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 6: and all that stuff. 695 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: I think, as in with almost any UH sports league, 696 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: including the NFL, especially perhaps the NFL, once the players 697 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: get really highly paid, I think that the league will 698 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: take more precaution to make sure those highly paid players 699 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: don't get hurt. 700 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 2: Don't you think that's a big part of it? 701 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:34,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure. 702 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 2: And I don't. 703 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: Think the NFL is necessarily sissified, that it's pusillanimous by 704 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: any means. I just think it's faster. I don't think 705 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,879 Speaker 1: faster and softer are the same thing. I think it's 706 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: more faster than softer. 707 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 6: Agreed, I understand that. 708 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: And I and I hate and I hate the fighting. 709 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: I always have hated the fighting. There's no place for 710 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: the fighting, right. It's neanderthal and it's stupid. Let's go 711 00:36:58,520 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: to Tom. 712 00:36:59,400 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 3: Tom. 713 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:00,479 Speaker 2: You're all with Mark. 714 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 6: Hey, Mark, Yes, Tom Selik here with some gun suppressors. 715 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 6: I thought you might be interested in buying. 716 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, this isn't funny. I know you're thinking it's funny. 717 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: Just won't be so I'm gonna get ready. And you 718 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: didn't sound at all like Tom Selick. So let's go 719 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: to a talkback. 720 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 4: I'm just curious if you could only pick one more 721 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 4: protein to eat for the rest of your life, whether 722 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,959 Speaker 4: that's beef, chicken, pork, you know whatever, which one would 723 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 4: you pick? 724 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 2: Thanks, that's actually a real good question. 725 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: What protein if I could pick to eat for the 726 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,720 Speaker 1: rest of my life would I pick. Wouldn't be chicken, 727 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: even though I eat a lot of chicken, wouldn't be pork, 728 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: even though I like pulled pork. So that's down to 729 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: beef or fish. I really like fish, but you know, 730 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: I'd go with beef. I'd go with prime rip. But boy, 731 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: I miss fish. I miss fish more than chicken. And 732 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,360 Speaker 1: I don't really fish that often, but I really like 733 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: it when I do. I say it like whether it's 734 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: salmon or halibut, even the occasional swordfish, shrimp, and boy, 735 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: there's a wider selection of taste if you would stick 736 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: with seafood over beef. 737 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 2: But no, I'm gonna stick with beef. 738 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: These line open four one two, excuse me, eight three 739 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 1: to three, four one two ninety nine thirty And by 740 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: the way, to get back to the question, the guy 741 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: asked yesterday, I gave the wrong answer. He asked me, 742 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: if I could interview any athlete I have an interviewed, 743 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: who would it be? And I think I said Gretzki. 744 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 1: I definitely said Dan Marino. You know it would be 745 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: no contest. Number one uber Alis Steven Gerrard, former Liverpool captain, 746 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: one of my three favorite athletes ever with Sid and Mario, 747 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 1: no doubt about that. If I could interview Steven Gerard, 748 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: that would be a real thrill for me. I'm not 749 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,879 Speaker 1: even sure I could get through it, and even over 750 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: the phone, I'd be just incredibly starstruck. So number one 751 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: athlete to interview of all time, at least Stephen Gerard,
