1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: W DDE, Pittsburgh, an iHeart radio station, guaranteed human.

2
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: Gamee will to his left, gets a snap back to

3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 2: past four man rush. Rogers pumps throws and it's intercepted,

4
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: picked off and running back the other way. It's Bullock

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: and Bullock down the left sideline. Rogers tries to pump him.

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: Bullock knocks off of Rogers and sprints him to the

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: end zone. The coup de gras a fifty one yard

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: interception return, and the Texans have turned this game into

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: a route.

10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: Will that be the last throw that Aaron Rodgers ever

11
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: attempts in the NFL?

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 4: Will that be the end of a Hall of Fame

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 4: career for mister Rogers.

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph went in after that and cleaned up, So

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: that was it.

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 4: For I thought he would have tried to get him

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 4: a Bullock out of bounds a little bit more, you know, Well,

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 4: he would have tried harder to tackle him, and he

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 4: just kind of olaid him. And I know, I don't

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 4: think that changes the outcome of the game. Just his

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 4: career doesn't have to end on that ugly of a note.

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 5: We'll find out if this is it for Rogers. Minutes

23
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 5: before the draft. That's really how it feels. He's gonna

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 5: it's gonna be Rogers Watch all over again.

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: And I like.

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: The idea that like he's like because he said last night, like, oh,

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: you know, I'm not gonna make any emotional decisions.

28
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna those are the only decisions he makes,

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 6: you know, exclusively makes emotional decisions.

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 4: And then like him just like walking on the beach

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 4: with the sad Hulk music playing behind him, or y

32
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 4: with a with a blanket and that dog that follows

33
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: him around that it might not be his dog.

34
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: I don't know on his dog, it's not his wife.

35
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 4: I don't want to make fun of his wife's situation

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 4: because I.

37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: Don't think she was at that game. Maybe she's at

38
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 3: all of them, and you just don't know.

39
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 4: Here's my My take has always been, she wears the

40
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 4: Steely mcbeam costume so that she can freely move him

41
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 4: on Steeler Nation. Oh my god, yeah, exactly, so that

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 4: he knew he could always look over to Steely and

43
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 4: tug his ear and she would, you know, wwind right

44
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 4: back to.

45
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 6: I have to tell you that raised Alwadney and I

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 6: when we were off Mike yesterday kept saying that like,

47
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 6: if the result of last night's game didn't go well,

48
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 6: that we were going to pull the uh.

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 3: I never liked him.

50
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 6: Like whenever your friend is dating somebody, Yeah, and kind

51
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 6: of have like a side eye about.

52
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 4: If it doesn't go well, then be like, I always

53
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: hated the kind of thing.

54
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 6: And then if you get back together with him, be.

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: Like, no, no, I hated the way he treated you. Yeah,

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 3: that's what I meant.

57
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 4: I think He's far from the biggest problem the Steelers

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 4: have right now. Running this back again next year is

59
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 4: going to be tough. Oh, it's gonna be tough. Like

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 4: with the Buckos, you just you're completely immune to their futility.

61
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 4: I mean, what they've done in this postseason makes me think, hey,

62
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: maybe this will be a fun Bucko season. But we've

63
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 4: just been beaten down by them so much that the

64
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: belief that they would actually change anything long exited. So

65
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 4: seeing it get run back the same way each and

66
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 4: every year.

67
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: Was like, yeah, they go again. What a shame.

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 4: But there was this belief that the Steelers could turn

69
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: it around for those for four or five years.

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: In the last two or three it's been hey, what

71
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: the what are we doing here? What is going on?

72
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: And then there was something this year about Okay, maybe

73
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 4: we're making the right steps and moving forward and we're

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: getting the right talent because Mike Tomlin came on this

75
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: radio show and said this defense would be historic, and

76
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 4: he was right for all the wrong reason because they

77
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 4: were historically bad at points and offensively, You're like, all right,

78
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. We didn't know if he was going to

79
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: be going on McAfee and causing the distraction each week

80
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: and then lit and behold, he didn't do any of that,

81
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: and he made it just about football, and he became

82
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: exactly the guy they needed in the locker room because

83
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: they needed a daddy in there.

84
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 3: They desperately did.

85
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 4: And you just saw everybody gravitate to him, like, well,

86
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: he's the best. You know, there's a celebrity component to it,

87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: and all his NFL success, it makes sense that everyone

88
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: gravitated toward him, and like he did the opposite of

89
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 4: what he did in New York. He seemed to really

90
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 4: embrace that and make it all about football. And maybe

91
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: that's just a little bit because Pittsburgh is that special

92
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 4: of an environment. So I thought, Okay, this is going

93
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 4: to be good enough. But my god, Arthur Smith's offense

94
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: and lack of realization that the two best components you

95
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: have are gain Well and Warren and why we're not

96
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 4: going through them all f and day. Actually, in a

97
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 4: game like that last night, live to fight another day,

98
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: punt if you have to.

99
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: CJ.

100
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: Stroud wanted to lose that game. It was a battle

101
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 4: of who is going to lose this game? Now who's

102
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 4: gonna win it?

103
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

104
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: CJ.

105
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 5: Stroud looked like he had never played football for stakes

106
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 5: before ever, And just like the eye off the ball,

107
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 5: the snaps that he was dropping, Oh yeah, that's not

108
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 5: the It's like a bock in baseball, like you.

109
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: Get one in ten games, and he had three last night.

110
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: Offense couldn't capitalize on any of it. I mean, I

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: can't remember what our our points on turnovers were. I

112
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 4: think I think it was three. I'm not sure if

113
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: it was all six of our six points at Tji

114
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: Pumper recovery, it's three points. Yeah, So Aaron Rodgers and

115
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 4: the offense couldn't do anything. DK Metcalf. Doesn't matter if

116
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 4: DK's there, if they don't have a Number two gross

117
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 4: negligence on Omar and Mike Tomlin to not come up

118
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 4: with a number two for.

119
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 3: The second year in a row.

120
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: I don't know how you watched that last year with

121
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 4: George Pickins and thought, now we can do it again.

122
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: If it's Decay, it doesn't matter who it is.

123
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 4: I mean Jerry Rice in his prime, he had an

124
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: offensive line that was work in progress, but got enough

125
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 4: done up until that game last night in which they

126
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: got absolutely manhandled. But without Darnell Washington there, they'd seemed

127
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: to be okay with letting the line fen from themselves

128
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 4: and not giving the Edges any help. They started to

129
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 4: in the beginning of the game, and then they got

130
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 4: away from it. And when did they look good?

131
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: In the beginning of the game.

132
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: They were first drive, it looked like they were gonna

133
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 4: roll right down and score, and then they did on

134
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,559
Speaker 4: the second one, oh so aggravating it just it felt

135
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 4: like they had an opportunity to understand what was working

136
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: and stick with that kind of game plan.

137
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: And I'm not sure what Arthur Smith thought.

138
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: Why he thought dropping his forty two year old quarterback

139
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: back without you know, help enough times and then empty

140
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 4: set on third and long and just let them get

141
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: teed off on I think terrible job by the coaches

142
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: last night. Number one game plan, bad execution by the

143
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 4: offensive line. Well, the old John McKay line. I'm in

144
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: favor of it. They were bad last night, really bad,

145
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: and they weren't doing anything special. There was just four

146
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 4: guys who were beating the hell out of them. So

147
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 4: the Steel season comes to an end, and I hate

148
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 4: to say that You're probably going to see a lot

149
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: of the same people in charge next year, but I

150
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 4: cannot see them making a change as a business. This

151
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 4: is a successful formula for now. But I know they

152
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: were the fire Tomlin chance again last night. Do you

153
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: want to go through another season of that? If things

154
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: go wrong? What do you do to ensure that they

155
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 4: get off to a good start and stay there next year?

156
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 4: If you stayed the course with Mike Tomlin. Who is

157
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 4: it in the draft that you think you're gonna jump

158
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 4: up and get You're a playoff team, You're not gonna

159
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 4: have a high draft position. You're gonna have to trade

160
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: away all of those picks you have to try and

161
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 4: move up.

162
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 3: What if you can't? And do you take someone just

163
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: because who do you love? Right now?

164
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: A lot of people have Mendozo's the heisman Trophy winner

165
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: as a third or fourth round guy, who's the NFL

166
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 4: quarterbow I don't know about it was number one man,

167
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 4: there's there was there's guys saying like, I'm not saying

168
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: he won't go in that round.

169
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: I'm saying he's kind of like the Kenny Pickett thing. Yeah, exactly,

170
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: he's made jump the gun yet, right, Yeah, uh no,

171
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: he'll go in the first round.

172
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 4: But they're grading him like, you know, actually if you

173
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 4: take the hype away, which I don't.

174
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: I never understood that part. Like the reason there's hype

175
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 3: is because he's good. But is the NFL good? I

176
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: don't know.

177
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers definitely was, but he lost a step and

178
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: was vulnerable last night.

179
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 3: He was pissed off. He didn't have anybody open. What

180
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: are you gonna do?

181
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: Adam Thielen was running in quicksand and Roman Wilson couldn't

182
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: even get a helmet.

183
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 5: Feeling was like our, you know, most productive guy, most

184
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 5: productive receiver last night. I'm terrified at what might have

185
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 5: happened with quarterback next year? What if it's Aaron Rodgers.

186
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 5: I feel like it's Aaron Rodgers or Mac Jones right

187
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: now or some Mac Jones equivalent, and I'm not pumped

188
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 5: about that either. I don't know if it's Aaron Rodgers,

189
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 5: and I guess it would depend who's behind him.

190
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray.

191
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray is the antithesis of what Tomlin thinks of

192
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: when he thinks about a quarterback. Right, yes, Kyler Murray

193
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 4: would be his all time favorite receiver. Nice short, right,

194
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 4: how are they going to bring Kyler Murray? And and

195
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: Calvin Austin is just towering over. He's like Calvin Austen, like, hey,

196
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 4: can you get the tape off the top shelf for me?

197
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: Please?

198
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 6: If it is Aaron Rodgers but it's not Arthur Smith,

199
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 6: are you excited?

200
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 3: It depends who it is.

201
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel and Aaron Rodgers with an actual, legitimate receiving

202
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: corps fine, But John Smith was a joke. They didn't

203
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 4: throw the ball to frar Mouth all year after paying him.

204
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 4: And you know, Moose was the most exciting tight end

205
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 4: they had, and that was largely a component of what

206
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: he was doing in the running game.

207
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: We had all these tight ends and no Number two

208
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 3: and we never used them.

209
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: Johnny Smith's abject failure just an absolute joke all year

210
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: wasn't even blocking what he was supposed to. I mean,

211
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 4: there were one or two times where he came through

212
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 4: and they used him interestingly on some enda rounds and

213
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: things like that, but by and large.

214
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 3: Failure their free agent pickups were a disaster.

215
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 4: Darius Slay was watching the game in Philadelphia on the

216
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 4: sidelines this weekend as a member of the Buffalo Bills.

217
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: It's not coaching that's the biggest problem. It's talent assessment.

218
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: They're awful at it. They are terrible at it is

219
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 4: does Peyton Wilson make you think he's gonna be the

220
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: second Coming?

221
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: He can't play on rundowns.

222
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 5: The hype around Peyton Wilson in the offseason and in

223
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 5: camp was crazy.

224
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: Patrick Wilson probably led and tackles this year Patrick Patrick Queen. Yeah,

225
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 4: but is he worth the biggest free agent contract that

226
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 4: we've ever given anybody before? DK Eckles made more plays

227
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 4: on defense than a lot of the big name guys.

228
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 4: Jalen Ramsey ended up using its safety all year. You

229
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: thought he was going to be another shutdown corner. Joey

230
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: Porter Junior awesome and another awesome game last night. Yeah,

231
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: But defensively, like Harmon. Okay, he's great. Cam had an

232
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 4: unbelievable year again, you know, second team All Pro. The

233
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 4: edge rushers are great. There's a lot of holes on

234
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 4: defense that I think also with TJ Watt, I'm not

235
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 4: sure that they ever utilize him in a way that

236
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 4: gets him from being chipped and rendered ineffective too often

237
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: in a game. The Browns do things to get Miles

238
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 4: Garrett freed up, and I don't think defensively the Steelers

239
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 4: did anything interesting to do that for TJ Watt. I

240
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 4: don't know if it's a Sydney Crosby thing, like I

241
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 4: don't want to play there now this is how I

242
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 4: do it, or if it's just Tara Austin going no,

243
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 4: he'll be okay.

244
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 5: And he'll take two or three guys and then everyone

245
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 5: else will do their job. Yeah, I could see that.

246
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 4: Pat Meyer I used to bash all the time, but

247
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 4: I thought that offensive line came pretty far this year

248
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 4: until last night, and they were terrible. Jalen Warren revelation

249
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 4: Kenny Gainwell best pickup they've had, and I mean there's

250
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 4: a reason he's the team MVP and on special teams.

251
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 4: Weightment over Cam Johnson. Great decision. Yeah, but they never

252
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 4: had a threat as a returner.

253
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: They don't have any.

254
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 4: Explosive players on offense. I don't understand what's gonna change

255
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 4: if we move forward with the same regime. I just

256
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,119
Speaker 4: don't unless you think, like, well, it's there's a percentage

257
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 4: of a chance that you need to have. You need

258
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 4: a lottery ticket, and Mike Tomlin gets you that lottery

259
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 4: ticket every year, and then it's anybody's ballgame. And that

260
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 4: seems to be their mo o. We're good enough to

261
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 4: get to the dance and then maybe we'll get laid.

262
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 4: But they forgot there's more to it. Yeah, you more

263
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: likely to be back next year, Arthur Smith or Terrell Austin.

264
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,599
Speaker 4: I feel like Terall Austin is more likely to be

265
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 4: back than Arthur Smith because of opportunity for Arthur Smithy

266
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: and I wouldn't be surprised if he jumps ship if

267
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: given a parallel opportunity, if able. But he's not like

268
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 4: getting interviewed by every team, right he interviewed by the Titans.

269
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 4: It's not like he's on the coaching carousel unless people

270
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 4: were waiting to find out.

271
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: But I don't think. I don't think anything's gonna change.

272
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 4: I think they're just gonna say, no, all right, we

273
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 4: know what we did wrong last year and we got

274
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 4: to try to do better. And it just boils down

275
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: a talent assessment. Way too many misses in the draft,

276
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: way too many. You look at some of these teams

277
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 4: that are being effective in the postseason, and they are

278
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: loaded for bear, with solid players all over the board.

279
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 4: The Steelers have guys who you're like, wow, hopefully he'll

280
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 4: be able to figure it out. You know, they're thirty

281
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 4: five years old, and Sante Samuel trying to avoid any

282
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 4: contact in the secondary last night, driving me absolutely nuts.

283
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: There's only so much you can do about injury.

284
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 4: But their talent assessment has just been so garbage for

285
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 4: a couple of years. And I hate to keep harping

286
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 4: on it, but I'm pissed, just like everybody else who

287
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 4: didn't sleep and stay up and watch that last night.

288
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 4: I don't want Aaron Rodgers to return because it's just

289
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 4: there's a ceiling on this, I agree, And how he

290
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 4: made it through this year, I don't know. It's a

291
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 4: miracle to me. He's not the kind of forty two

292
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 4: that you're like Tom Brady, like, oh, he can come back,

293
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 4: and I think he could come back and still throw

294
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 4: the ball. And even though he was a little more

295
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 4: mobile than I thought he would be in the last

296
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 4: couple weeks especially, I think he's gonna get better at it.

297
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 4: He's just you're just waiting to put your backup in

298
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 4: with Aaron Rodgers next next year. Somehow you survived this year.

299
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 4: And he wasn't great when he did have open receivers

300
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: last night and a few times this year.

301
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 5: You know that the Browns game, the Browns game, the

302
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 5: Chargers game, when he was off the entire time. This

303
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 5: was another set, huge second half let down. And like

304
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 5: when I think about the scoring chart of last night's game,

305
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 5: down seven to six, Okay, we can manufacture a bs

306
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 5: Field goal here, down ten to six, well, still totally possible.

307
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 5: When they went down eleven, it felt like they were

308
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 5: down by a thousand points.

309
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 3: No scoring in the third quarter. They gave up twenty

310
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: three to the Texans in the fourth quarter.

311
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 4: Last night, it collapse to equavius marks one hundred and

312
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 4: twelve yards rushing. Christian Kirk destroyed them one hundred and

313
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 4: forty four yards receiving, And the defense wasn't really the problem.

314
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 4: The offense never made you think they were going to

315
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 4: be a threat. That's a very good defense. They should

316
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 4: have been able to do more than that. Where was Mouth?

317
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: How do you not work him into the equation a

318
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 4: little bit more? Just a very unevent un un uh

319
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 4: inventive offense from Arthur Smith. See some of the plays

320
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 4: that Houston running and you're like, yeah, that got that

321
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: guy open right there. It's a nice uh nice route

322
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: Like what routes was was John new Smith running all

323
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 4: year long.

324
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: Free yard out in the flat turn around and wait,

325
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 3: what the why did why did we get this guy?

326
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: Why did we spend all this money on this dude?

327
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: Wait and never look ready miss blocks?

328
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, false start, critical false start last night, absolute joke.

329
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: But Mike Tomlin is a Hey, he's a Hall of

330
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 3: Fame coach and he's coming back if he wants to.

331
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: Everybody knows that. The question is does he want to?

332
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 3: With how many firings we've seen?

333
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 6: And this little like you know, spin the lazy season

334
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 6: in the AFC, like I mean, other coaches that are available,

335
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 6: like has your mind been running at all?

336
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: Here?

337
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 4: They missed the big chance for the coach that their

338
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 4: next chuck No was Mike Ramble, and when he was available,

339
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 4: it was like bad timing because you knew that Tomlin

340
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 4: hadn't done enough to get fired yet. But he was

341
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 4: headed in that direction and they had a guy who

342
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 4: could have been the perfect Steeler coach, and uh, it

343
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 4: was not to be. Now, Like Damashek was saying, Ben

344
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 4: Johnson was.

345
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure.

346
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 4: I and what Ben Johnson is doing in Chicago's remarkable

347
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: and with that team it works. I'm not so sure

348
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 4: if he is going to be the guy long term.

349
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 4: I don't know about his style yet. You know, like

350
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 4: there's not I'm not sure if that works when there's

351
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 4: less talent.

352
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 3: On the team. I feel like he could lose a team.

353
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 3: I don't know yet. He might be the second coming.

354
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: But Rabel is a guy who gets teams who aren't

355
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 4: that great to play way above their talent level, I think.

356
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 4: And he gets guys to believe that that Patriots team

357
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 4: is pretty well coached. And what he's done with Drake

358
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: May in terms of developing a quarterback, which.

359
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 3: Is what you're gonna need someone to do. Who is

360
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 3: Tomlin developed?

361
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 5: Not Mason?

362
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: Hey, he was one for one last night. He's got

363
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 3: a QBR seventy one.

364
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 4: Don't you besmirch Mason, I'm not, and his mustache and

365
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 4: all the mirth that he brought to that locker room.

366
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 4: Mason and his mirth were one of the few bright

367
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 4: spots this year.

368
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 5: When he went in the game, I opened Twitter out

369
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 5: of boredom and was immediately comforted by the picture of

370
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 5: him holding the jackfruit in overalls.

371
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: With penny loafers on. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I didn't even

372
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 3: know people wear penny loafers. And do you put the

373
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: penny in the penny loafer? Mason does and that's all

374
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: that matters. Thank God for Mason's mirth.

375
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: The Steelers with another disappointing one and done in the postseason.

376
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 4: This was a winnable game for them, and that was

377
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 4: the frustrating part. When it was seven to six. Pat muldowney,

378
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 4: who's pittsburgher who's been working for Fox, had worked for

379
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 4: Fox Sports for many year, tweeted out last night, I

380
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 4: don't know how to explain this to somebody who's not watching,

381
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 4: but the Steelers are currently getting their ass kicked seven

382
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 4: to six, and I thought that was the perfect description

383
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 4: of that game.

384
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 3: At no point did you believe that they were going

385
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: to start rolling on that Houston defense. There was exposing us.

386
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 4: If I was Demiko Ryan, in fact, I would have

387
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 4: been way more conservative with the Houston offense because the

388
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 4: only trouble they were getting in with CJ. Stroud making

389
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 4: colossal mistakes. I think they simplified when when CJ. Stroud

390
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 4: was starting to get the yips there, they you know,

391
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 4: they shortened the playbook and did things that he was

392
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 4: absolutely going to complete. I mean never, we never go downfield.

393
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 4: Never the end of the game. They did out of desperation.

394
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 4: At that point, it's too late. There's no weapons, the

395
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: team is poorly constructed. They got to figure this out,

396
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 4: and I'm sure they will. And I feel really good

397
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 4: about this year.

398
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 3: Guys.

399
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, you know, we'll be back and we'll

400
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 4: feel good about whatever the hell they're doing.

401
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 3: And at the time we're idiots. Everything they did seemed

402
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 3: like it was great.

403
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 4: Darius lay was on a Super Bowl champion last year,

404
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 4: our secondary and now we got Ramsey back there too.

405
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 3: Dude, it's gonna be nuts. Wan Thornhill was just banged

406
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: up exactly, and it was it was a nightmare.

407
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 4: They're free agents that I mean they batted what probably

408
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 4: like five hundred on free agent pickups.

409
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, what which isn't good enough?

410
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 7: Yeah?

411
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean five hundred played, you know what

412
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 4: I mean, not like five hundred like they were great

413
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 4: and you know the other half weren't count.

414
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 3: Dugger is a hit. Dougger is a hit. They couldn't

415
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: even get on the field though, the last couple of weeks.

416
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

417
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 4: I don't know if something was up with him or not,

418
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 4: but I thought the first couple of weeks he made

419
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 4: his blash. Yeah, I think that. You know, not having

420
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 4: Elliott was big. Oh man, Yes, that really screwed things up.

421
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 4: But at no point going into the season.

422
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 3: Where you're like the corner stone on this defense is

423
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 3: going to be Elliott no impact player though Yep, Ecles

424
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: was the same way.

425
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 4: Eckles would always make a big play, came up with

426
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 4: another big one last night, and then he would get

427
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 4: hurt and be out for two weeks every single time.

428
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 4: The problem is it's going to be super annoying to

429
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 4: listen to the Mike Tomlin discourse for another year.

430
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 3: If he's coming back. I I'm marrible.

431
00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 4: It's just going to be overwhelming because I don't if

432
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 4: there's any Steeler fans who are super excited to see

433
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin come back right.

434
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 3: Now, and that's a problem. But he's got another year.

435
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 3: Yeah he's not. I mean, so it would have to

436
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 3: be him choosing at this point. It's him choosing, and

437
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: your fan base is not excited about it. They were.

438
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 4: There was a smattering of fire Tomlin going on again

439
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: last night, but not as bad as the Bills game.

440
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 3: No, okay, And that's a tough position to be in.

441
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 4: You have to really put together an incredible squad, and

442
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: last year that was the predicament they were in and

443
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 4: their end result did not bear out.

444
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 3: Again.

445
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 4: This year was a failure the Aaron Rodgers experiment. I

446
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 4: guess you could call it a failure because they didn't

447
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 4: win a playoff game. And if they had Mason Rudolph

448
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 4: as their starting quarterback this year, how much different would

449
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 4: it have been.

450
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

451
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 4: They might not even made the postseason, but they would

452
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 4: have had a better draft position. So it's this constant

453
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 4: purgatory of never good enough to do anything substantial in

454
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 4: the postseason and never bad enough to make wholesale changes.

455
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 4: And that's what it's like to be a Pittsburgh Steeler

456
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 4: fan for an entire generation of Steeler fans. Now at

457
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 4: this point, we're coming up on ten frickin' years. That

458
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: is a lot and part of what I think the

459
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 4: elation of what last week was. Certainly it was knocking

460
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 4: the Ravens out. Like I said, the manner in which

461
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 4: that game unfolded, it was just so drama filled, got

462
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 4: Harbaugh fired. Felt like a playoff game because it's winning.

463
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 4: In part of it was just remembering that we used

464
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 4: to have that feeling all the time, but forgetting what

465
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 4: it was like in the whole town remembered.

466
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: We used to feel like this every year for years.

467
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 4: We'd go into the playoffs and we were gonna win one,

468
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 4: maybe two games, and it was just get to the

469
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 4: championship game and then you know, that is your lottery ticket.

470
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: Now it's like we might sneak into.

471
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 4: The wild card if Houston can beat Indianapolis with their

472
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 4: backup quarterback, and then if the Chargers, you know, all

473
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 4: of these scenarios have to play out for us to

474
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 4: even sniff the postseason a. Winning the AFC North this

475
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 4: year atop the division, taking the AFC North crown felt

476
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 4: like finally Okay, we determined our own destiny.

477
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 3: This year is gonna be different. Notes notes not so frustrating. Yeah,

478
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 3: how do you run that back again? I don't know.

479
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 4: I mean you have to look at it without emotion

480
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 4: and from a business standpoint, were their butts in the

481
00:24:53,560 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 4: seats all year? Of course, stadium's packed. They win enough

482
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 4: games that plenty of people go. Television ratings pretty igh.

483
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 4: People love the Steelers, put them in primetime quite a bit.

484
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 4: It's the bob nutting thing. At some point, Well, we're

485
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 4: making a lot of money doing this, but at some

486
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: point it's going to turn around.

487
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 5: It's the slow creep into the vibe and energy that

488
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 5: they have now. It's like if you zapped yourself back

489
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 5: to ten years ago when they beat the Chiefs, which

490
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 5: they had to do because Alex Smith was the quarterback.

491
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: That's a must win play. Yeah yeah, and then you.

492
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 5: Know, comparing that feeling to now, Yeah, the slow just

493
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 5: the amount of Tomlin detractors, the everything going on, Oh no,

494
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 5: franchise quarterback Steelers.

495
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: Twitter is going to be unbearable for another year.

496
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 4: But this three week peer read here going into the

497
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 4: super Bowl is going to be I might have to

498
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 4: mute eight hundred accounts.

499
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is going to be the same thing.

500
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 4: Get rid of them doing the same thing over and

501
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 4: over and expecting a different result is a definition of insanity.

502
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 5: I yet news stories when podcasters hire skyriders to do

503
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 5: fire Tomlin.

504
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well that's what I thought it had been funny,

505
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 4: is you know how the controversy over Liam Cohen having

506
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: that woman from the Jacksonville Free Press and there going.

507
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 3: You did good baby, you know whatever?

508
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 4: She was like, you know, yeah, she was like, you know,

509
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 4: a hilariously sort of comforting woman in the press room,

510
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 4: which created that whole you know, kerfuffle online, which I

511
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 4: think is insane. But the Steelers version of that would

512
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 4: have been like Kevin Adams and Jersey Jerry going, hey,

513
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 4: just why to let you know that we put together

539
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 4: like collecting old dogs that nobody wants to adopt. No

560
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 4: The more I see online, the angry I'm getting Mike

561
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: pursuit of joining us. Now for postgame reaction from last night,

562
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 4: Steelers lost to the Houston Texas thirty to six at

563
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 4: Acriscuer Stadium, and uh, the crowd was never really into

564
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 4: it in the second half and who could blame.

565
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 9: Them, didn't have a reason to get into it. Yeah,

566
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 9: it did feel like they were a million miles behind

567
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 9: when it was seven to six. Yeah, and ten six,

568
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 9: but the potential was there to deal the game, and

569
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 9: they just couldn't even again like the Cleveland game, couldn't

570
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 9: come up with one touchdown.

571
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 3: Hard to win that way. I just don't know what

572
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: you how do you say, Okay, Arthur Smith, let's do

573
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 3: that again.

574
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think there are going to be changes. I

575
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 9: don't think it'll be the head coach unless he wants

576
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 9: to change. And Mike Tomlin, well, in the midst of

577
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 9: his or an immediate aftermath, I should say, of his

578
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 9: seventh straight playoff disappointment, he wasn't really interested in contemplating

579
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 9: his future.

580
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 7: I'm not even in that mindset as I sit here tonight.

581
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 7: I'm more in a mindset of what transpired in this stadium,

582
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 7: and you know, certainly what we did and didn't do.

583
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 7: Not a big picture mentality is sit here tonight.

584
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 9: Aaron Rodgers wasn't much interested in contemplating his future either,

585
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 9: but Rodgers was adamant and extensive and insisting there shouldn't

586
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 9: be any question about Tomlin.

587
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 10: I mean, this league has changed my twenty one years.

588
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 10: You know, when you hear conversation about the the Mike

589
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 10: Tomlins of the world, Matt Lafleur's of the world, those

590
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 10: are just two that kind of played for And when

591
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 10: I first got in the league, there wouldn't be conversation

592
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 10: about whether those guys were on the hot seat, you know.

593
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 10: But the way that the league is covered now and

594
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 10: the way that there's snap decisions and the validally given

595
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 10: to the you know, the Twitter experts and all the

596
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 10: you know experts on TV now who who you make

597
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 10: it seem like they know what the hell they're talking about.

598
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 3: To me, that's an absolute joke.

599
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 10: And for either of those two guys to be on

600
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 10: the hot seat is is really apropos of where we're

601
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 10: at the society in the league.

602
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: Because.

603
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 10: Obviously Matt's done a lot of great things in Green

604
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 10: Bay and we had a lot of success. Mike t

605
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 10: He's had more success, and damn there anybody in the

606
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 10: league you know, from for the last nineteen twenty years

607
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 10: and more than that, though, when you have the right

608
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 10: guy and the culture is right, you don't think about

609
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 10: making a change. But there's a lot of pressure that

610
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 10: comes from the outside, and obviously that sways decisions from

611
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 10: time to time, but it's not how I would do things,

612
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 10: and not how the league used to be.

613
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 9: Rogers apparently had set his piece regarding Mike Tomlin at

614
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 9: that juncture, because another thing he wasn't interested in entertaining

615
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 9: was a follow up question about Tomlin.

616
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 10: And I've answered that a number of times. I've talked

617
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 10: extensively about I feel about Mike and I and I

618
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 10: just did not an answer.

619
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: So ool sassy, I keep that woman from Jacksonville up here. Yeah,

620
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 3: Jack the Jacksonville love FETs right. He was right the

621
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: hot seat.

622
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 6: Maybe you do all the drugs now, you take all

623
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 6: the time you need, you get in the darkness and

624
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 6: you do whatever you need.

625
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 3: You tribute fun with that in the press box before

626
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 3: the game. I'm sure the contests of the press is society.

627
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 3: People are defending it, particularly people in the media.

628
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 4: I just have well, I think that, uh, I think

629
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 4: that it's a lot of people arguing different points that

630
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 4: you know that. I think people are genuinely okay with

631
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 4: positivity and any sort of kindness sentiment being expressed. It's

632
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: just context, that's all. And people's misunderstanding what context is

633
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 4: or is Like McAfee and those guys were like, this

634
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 4: is the greatest thing ever, but that is that well.

635
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 3: I mean I like all those clowns.

636
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 4: I like all those guys, but like I think they

637
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: do a job print of what the job is being

638
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 4: done in there, do you know what I mean? Like

639
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 4: it would be like if somebody burst into a an

640
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 4: operating room and they were like, you know what, just

641
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 4: want to let the patient know before he goes under.

642
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 4: You're doing great and everything's fine. It's like, okay, this

643
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 4: that that's a nice sentiment, but we're actually doing something

644
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 4: different in here than what you're doing. And the difference

645
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 4: is is that the old media and this the newer

646
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 4: media have been sort of melded together in a way

647
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 4: like that in a way that the old media is

648
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 4: not really okay.

649
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 3: With and they're kind of getting the bed together.

650
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 4: Yeah no, I agree, level, but it's it's not just sports, yes,

651
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 4: and this is the minor And that's where people I

652
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 4: think were so outraged on your nose, right, I mean yeah,

653
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 4: but if you have a no goiter, I just want

654
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 4: to say, uh, you know, I had mine removed from

655
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 4: the doctor will up in Wexford.

656
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 3: Descriptive enough, Yes, now I get it. With the paint picture,

657
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: I get it.

658
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 4: It's a very frustrating morning, frustrating day, frustrating to be

659
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 4: a Stealer fan right now, losing in a valiant effort.

660
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 4: I would have been okay with Now. You wouldn't more

661
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 4: than this because it's not actually easier now. It doesn't

662
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: point to like we've never learned our lesson.

663
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a Randy's point.

664
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 3: It makes it so that.

665
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:45,720
Speaker 6: We don't have any assurances that anything will change exactly

666
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 6: we went.

667
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 3: Those are enough? How many of those do you have

668
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 3: in life? Heavy?

669
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 4: Oh?

670
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 3: My assurance? You stopped trying to trust me.

671
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 9: If they got beat twenty seven to twenty six on

672
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 9: a fifty nine yard field goal at the gun, you'd

673
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 9: feel worse and you're to be picking three or four plays.

674
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 5: Why did they do this?

675
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 4: They do that?

676
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 3: Oh my god, we're so close?

677
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 4: Well, okay, we were so close is not something I

678
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 4: uttered at all last night and we were down by

679
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 4: one point for most of the game, and I was like,

680
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 4: we're getting our ass kicked. Yeah, and we're down by

681
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 4: a point. How is Houston not up by twenty asked

682
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 4: Meat belt. All right, do you have to do phrase

683
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 4: now something like that?

684
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 3: Look now it's a belt to ask belt to ask

685
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,879
Speaker 3: not ask meat belt. It is now and now it's

686
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 3: asked meat belt. Now that's kinky wrestling in Lawrence film.

687
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 3: Ass wet belt belt as screwed.

688
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 4: That up because Moe Man gave me a lot of

689
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 4: experience with that. Jeans Sterotor joining us when we come

Speaker 3: I mean, I'm miserable. That was awful.

705
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 4: It doesn't give me any hope that anything's ever going

706
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 4: to change, and it just seems like I'm rooting for

Speaker 4: you know, two of the three teams I'm rooting for

713
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 3: let me let me ask you this.

714
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 4: You know, the first one I want to ask you

715
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 4: about is the Calvin Austin play where you know, Aaron

716
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 4: and Calvin were trying to get a p I call

717
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 4: there and who was.

718
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 3: The It was a Dean Blanding. Who's on the I

719
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 3: don't know, is that the game? I don't know who's

720
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 3: the official DFP last night? I think is Russell York Russe.

721
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 4: Kay he said oh yeah, He's like, oh yeah, no, no,

722
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 4: this is not pass interference. Their feet got tangled, no interference.

723
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 4: But you can see the dB kind of yanking his shoulder,

724
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 4: passed down his shoulder, grabbing a turn. What's the Eugene.

725
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: I think that the ball was two and a half

726
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: yards in front of Calvin Austin, and I'm just perplexed

727
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: from a football standpoint that he.

728
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 3: Slowed down at that point. Might be on agreed, and to.

729
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: Me it appeared that he was looking to play that

730
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: make a play for a foul instead to make it

731
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: a play on a ball when you had a step

732
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: on your d back and the ball was thrown ahead

733
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: of you to accelerate. Why are you decelerating five yards

734
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: before the catchpoint to try to draw something when the

735
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: football is in front of you and your defensive back

736
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: is behind you.

737
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 3: Wait a minute.

738
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 9: You try to say that it's not always the official

739
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 9: screwed up, that sometimes the players aren't good enough that

740
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 9: it's their own fault.

741
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 3: Can't both be true?

742
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think sometimes we make these slip second decisions

743
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: and then we get to watch them over and over

744
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: again and ask the big whyse I thought there's some

745
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: contact there? I quite honestly, I really didn't think there

746
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: was a lot of pass interference situation on that play.

747
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: I think the football is in front of him, and

748
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 1: I think they're trying to I think they're trying to

749
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: play for a penalty on the play, like I said, on.

750
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 3: A route where he beat he beat his d back.

751
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean he had a step on him and you

752
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: got a quarterback at that point that's letting this rock

753
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: go knowing your speed, knowing your timing, and knowing where

754
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: that's football should be provided you continue to finish your route.

755
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: And I think he pulls up, and I think that's

756
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: the difference in the yard and a half. Now, whether

757
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: he makes the player or not, I can't tell you that,

758
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: but it was rather perplexing that he pulled up five

759
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: yards before that football got to where it got and

760
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: that football was a yard and a half in front

761
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: of him.

762
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 4: That's one of those things like winners want the ball,

763
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 4: you know, and and well, look, the fear gets gets

764
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 4: into you sometimes, and I think you think you can

765
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 4: kind of weasele your way into a big play like

766
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 4: Limas Swede. But I I like Calvin Austin a lot.

767
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 3: I agree with you there. Also I think he's interference.

768
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 4: Okay, so this the other thing, the fumble, stripsack touchdown,

769
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 4: the big man touchdown for the Houston Texans last night,

770
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers appeared to take a shot to the head.

771
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 3: Jean, what's say you?

772
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're also now at that place where you're

773
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: kind of tucking it away and there's a lot of

774
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: bodies that that's a really hard play. The ref rand

775
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: because it's he did. Yeah, it's it is a hard play,

776
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't know that that's a

777
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: roughing the passer play when that, when that pocket collapses

778
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: like that, an arms start failing in there, and you're

779
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: you're you don't feel as much like a defenseless player

780
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: passer in that moment, I would say, But again looking

781
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: back as their contact to his head, Yes, I don't

782
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: know though that it didn't feel like it jumped off.

783
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 3: Let's put it.

784
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: This one didn't feel like it jumped off the screen

785
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: at me.

786
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: As you watched that.

787
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: Collapse, you know, it looked like a football play, you know, Yeah?

788
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 3: Gee none.

789
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 9: Still a related question, have you ever had an analyst

790
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 9: situation such as the one you had at the end

791
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 9: of the first half in Jacksonville?

792
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 3: And what's your regard like she witch?

793
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 9: You mean, yeah, did they get the snap off and

794
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 9: we're the guys off side?

795
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: Now that was wild. I was watching that.

796
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 9: Yes, do you have access to anything that we don't see?

797
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: Or is it just because we don't go to tents, Mike?

798
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: You know, I just started to rewind feverishly trying to

799
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: put the play in its proper bucket, because when the

800
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: defense on a hurry up situation is behind the offensive

801
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: line and trying to get between tackles or guards to

802
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: get back online, and they end up because the offense

803
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: is legally set and a defensive players either try to

804
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: wiggle through like he's in a crowd of people and

805
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: get between a tackle and a guard or something. But

806
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: he's on the offensive side of the ball. It is

807
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: a dead ball file that immediately is blown dead as

808
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: soon as the censor starts to move the football because

809
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: he basically by rule is kind of what we would

810
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: call unabated because he's on the wrong side of the football.

811
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 3: So it has nothing to do with the ball being spiked.

812
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with how long it takes

813
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: him to.

814
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 3: Snap the rocket.

815
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: It's all down to as soon as that center starts

816
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: to move the football, it's over. It's a dead play.

817
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: And it is really like that was a frame by

818
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: frame play and the center does just start to hitch

819
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: even kind of what would be an illegal snap, right

820
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: I mean or something, and the defenses on the other side,

821
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: and again all the great technology does it mean now

822
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: every stadium gets retrofitted with tens of a second inside

823
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: of one second, you know.

824
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 3: Because is there one, there is there zero?

825
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: There we in that space in between and what does

826
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: that mean?

827
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 3: Thing?

828
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 1: I think most times more than not, probably in the past,

829
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 1: just because you know, we don't die sick things are happening.

830
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: Back then, this was just a half overplay, you know,

831
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: and then you didn't go all the way down the

832
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: rabbit hole. But we know how we live in this

833
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: day and age with every hundredth of a second as

834
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: a light year. So it was really close, and I

835
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: really thought that the center kind of flinched before I

836
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 1: could see a full zero, you know, where it sat

837
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: in between there. I couldn't tell you.

838
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 3: How did you feel the weekends officiating went? Like?

839
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 4: From a grade standpoint, yeah, there, you know, there was

840
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 4: you know, Mike just reference one of the questionable scenarios.

841
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 4: That was a bald don't lie moment though with Kim

842
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 4: Little missing the field goal after it was you know,

843
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 4: but yeah, what did you think in large of the

844
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 4: Zebra's job this weekend?

845
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: I thought it was you know, look, I talked to

846
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: a good bit of them, not that it meant that much,

847
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: but I really did think that this week was played

848
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: where they kind of fished for the whales and not

849
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: the minnos overall, you know, it didn't feel like a

850
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: bunch of ticky tag stuff. I thought they let d

851
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: Bachs play and I thought they refereed and got big

852
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: plays right and manage games, and I thought it was

853
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: just this was maybe the most exciting I thought outside

854
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: of really the last two games where the points spread

855
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: changed after three quarters of football and the score maybe

856
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 1: wasn't a reflection of the majority of the game, which

857
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: was one possession games, and then the other ones were

858
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: just unbelievable wild card games. And no one is really

859
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: talking about officiating today, right, like nobody impacted the outcome

860
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 1: of the game this week. That's kind of the space

861
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: you live in right now for the next couple of weeks,

862
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: is you know, be anonymous, get your stuff right. Yep,

863
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a couple hiccups. Let's mister big wins,

864
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: get the big ones, leave the little stuff alone. And

865
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: I thought they did that this week.

866
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 4: First four games pretty good, last two not so great.

867
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 4: But man, the entertainment value of those first four games

868
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 4: pretty incredible.

869
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred percent. I think we've got good matchups

870
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: going ahead. And you know, last night's a hard game. Man,

871
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: It's seven to six and it's a you know, it's

872
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 1: an ass kicking kind of game and nasty game, and

873
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: it makes every little play. I thought the DK drop

874
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: early in the game looking back now naturally right, Like

875
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: it's like when you have games like that, it's that

876
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: one drive where that one scenario and CJ. Stroud looked

877
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: as shook as you could see a quarterback look. And

878
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: that wasn't just because he was nervous about being in

879
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's because he was looking to see where TJ. Hausmitt,

880
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: that someone was as the ball was being snapped.

881
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 3: You know he was. He was that concerned.

882
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 1: You can see that human element kind of creeping in

883
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 1: those zoom and plays in his eyes, wondering where the

884
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: next threat was coming from. And a table set in

885
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: so many ways, you just needed to get over the hump.

886
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know what point, Mikey, you would know

887
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: the stats, but third down conversions, right, and games like that,

888
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: it's extended to drive. It's one more possession, maybe one

889
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: more series, so I can punt the football from the

890
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,399
Speaker 1: forty and not my own twenty, which flips a game

891
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: like that, you know, it's it's a different type of game.

892
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: And at the end, that defense just created turnovers that

893
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: we're used to seeing our defense create when we may

894
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: not have a great offensive day, which they did early.

895
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: You know, Houston's defense did it and did what we

896
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: normally do too and get points out of it, Like

897
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: if you guys can't score it, tonight will score for you.

898
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 3: And I thought Houston did that.

899
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 9: Jean, I'm glad you used the plural and third down

900
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 9: conversions because they did get two of them.

901
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 3: There were two of them, Like is that what the funds?

902
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: There?

903
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 4: You go? When they got one in it, it was

904
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 4: like in the second half to Scanlon, like it felt

905
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 4: like a glass of water in the desert, and it

906
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 4: was like a way late in the game, like, oh my.

907
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 3: God, I never thought that was gonna happen. We converted.

908
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 4: Yes, That's why I described the Steelers offense last night

909
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 4: as a fish flopping around on the deck of a

910
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,240
Speaker 4: boat with no chance of getting back in the waters.

911
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 3: Were trying nothing, just ge't get over the side of

912
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 3: the boat.

913
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,919
Speaker 9: I would describe it as a fish that you told

914
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 9: before the game, don't bite the hole.

915
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 3: And then it was all bloody and dead. Gina Gino

916
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 3: the Steelers, I know it looks like a nice worm.

917
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: But there really is a hook in there, don't I.

918
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 4: Hope a couple of guys around here get the hook

919
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 4: going in the next year, Jean. But but you're not

920
00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 4: getting the hook where you're You're not off the hook.

921
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 4: We're getting you back on next week for more analysis

922
