1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: WDV E Pittsburgh and iHeartRadio station guaranteed humans.

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: To snap with like one of the Steelers jumped.

3
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 3: Early, throw right up in the moor, right up the scene.

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 4: Touchdown.

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 5: He celebrates by flinging the ball up into the stand.

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a brutal one.

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 4: We just recounted the many ways in which the Steelers

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 4: failed on that play and left Jalen Ramsey'd have to

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 4: choose one or the other, and that's Sophie's choice. Never

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 4: works out good for a safety and Steelers get a

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 4: twenty five are the Bears rather to get a twenty

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 4: five yard uncontested touchdown?

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: From DJ Moore on that one?

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 4: Voice of the Steelers on the Steelers Audio Network, Rob

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,480

Speaker 2: doing great?

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 4: I want to point out first of all that this happened.

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 4: Abby's Abby's nonwithstanding like a dog, just like this half

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 4: hour of Steeler Talk is brought to you by your

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 4: neighborhood Ford Store. The F one fifty is the official

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 4: truck of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kinger, we missed you at

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 4: the Smalls Waltz on Saturday.

24
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: Night, Oh, how was it? We did?

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,279
Speaker 4: We did it anyways, but but I'm a little upset

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 4: about Yeah. I know you were trying to get me

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 4: to postpone it, but yeah, yeah, I couldn't swing that unfortunately.

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, our friendship's not as deep as I thought it was. Well,

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 5: you know what, all the musicians, she's mister Smalls, just

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 5: please do it on Friday night to Rob Can.

31
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: We're gonna bring them all over your house and just

32
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: do it again.

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: It'd fantastic.

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what we're gonna do.

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 4: I wish the Steelers could do it all over again,

36
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: because if they did, at least the last two drives

37
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 4: of the game, I think they would have. Now that

38
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: illegal formation penalty was an absolute backbreaker, given that Mason

39
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: scrambles and puts it into Bear's territory, where now you're

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 4: just as down away with three timeouts from a Boswell

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 4: field goal. But at that point you're thinking, well, we're

42
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 4: gonna get six. Uh it's brought back.

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: Things like that happened, But it was more that it

45
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: was emblematic to me of just how boneheaded the Steelers

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 4: were on both sides of the ball and special teams yesterday.

47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: Well, I mean you can you I guess you could

48
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 5: pick your adjective to describe them.

49
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: But I thought boneheaded was a nice, all encompassing bank.

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: There were just too many mistakes.

51
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 5: Has special teams, which has been a real asset for

52
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 5: the Steelers, wasn't an asset yesterday. Not the best day

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 5: in the return game, not the best day in the

54
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 5: punting game.

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: We lost them again.

56
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 6: It's a is CBS in charge of this broadcast that

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 6: I think he's still thinking of all the deficiencies, is

58
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 6: coming up with a silent list right now.

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 3: Writing them all down.

60
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, our connection is not great this morning, but you

61
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: know you're going to have that. The special teams are

62
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 4: getting off easy. Corlis Weightman stinks.

63
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 6: Am I so as a as someone who came from

64
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 6: a punting and kicking family. What's with the variability between

65
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 6: a fifty six yard punt and then the very next

66
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 6: play a thirty.

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: Six yard punt. It's just coming off his foot wrong,

68
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 3: Like what is like like anything bad point. It's just

69
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: a bad punt.

70
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 4: But he's having a bad day yesterday altogether. Like just

71
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 4: think about the fact that on the the fourth down

72
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: where everybody wanted Mike Tomlin to go for it with

73
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 4: two minutes left and he had three timeouts, and his

74
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: calculation was, let's just stop them, Let's use our timeouts

75
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: and in a two minute warning and then get the

76
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: ball back and try to go down the field with

77
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 4: no timeouts. Okay, I see the logic in that you

78
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 4: got a thirty three yard punt out of Corlis weightman,

79
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: Let's say you get a forty three yard punt out

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 4: of him, which is like median level punt, right Kinger Yep.

81
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: Now the Steeler aren't not kicking a sixty five yard

82
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: field goal from Boswell. They're attempting a fifty five yardfield

83
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: goal to tie the game at the end. That stuff

84
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: killed them all dayish in a field position at the

85
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 4: end of the half, they gave.

86
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: Him a thirty five yard kickoff return.

87
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: They ended up getting free on that drive instead of

88
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: the Steelers scoring and then getting the ball back and

89
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 4: holding him. So there were many instances where kickoff kick coverage,

90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 4: punt coverage wasn't good enough, the punt coverage was non

91
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 4: existent because the punts were just awful. I don't know

92
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: that he had won over thirty six yards yesterday, Rob.

93
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't his best day.

94
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 5: I mean he's been so consistent and the coverage units

95
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 5: have been so consistent.

96
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: I mean, one of those.

97
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 5: Punters where he's been good, he had that's been better

98
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 5: than the average, right, the net's I mean I.

99
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: Said he's stunk. He doesn't stunk, he's stunk yesterday.

100
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he was eleventh in the league in

101
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 5: net going into yesterday's game as opposed to their punt

102
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 5: read a better average, and was twenty second in the

103
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 5: league in net. And it was one of those things

104
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 5: I was looking at that I thought that the Steelers

105
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 5: would have an edge. I mean, I know Duvenet is

106
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 5: a good returner, but for whatever reason, the Steelers didn't

107
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 5: have an edge there. I think you're right to bring

108
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 5: that up that that long you know, the field goal.

109
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Yeah, the field goal before the end of

110
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 5: the half was set up by the longer return, right,

111
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 5: So that's that, you know, potentially cost you three points.

112
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: You know.

113
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 5: I again, I understand what you're saying with weightman. But

114
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 5: then their punter kicks it in the end zone, right,

115
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 5: I'm sure they're thinking, well, why didn't they kick it

116
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 5: to the he should have and you know ten yards

117
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 5: field position that's maybe that is fair caught at to ten.

118
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 5: It was an interesting decision to not go for it

119
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 5: at the end of the you know, with a two

120
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 5: minute warning there, but that turned out to not be

121
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 5: a factor.

122
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: To me.

123
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 5: There was plenty of time to get the ball into

124
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 5: field goal range at the very least, and they just

125
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 5: they couldn't do it. It was It's cruciating because there's been

126
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 5: a few games like this in which it feels like

127
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 5: one or two plays or three or four plays or whatever.

128
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 5: It is little things going against you and costing you

129
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 5: much needed victories.

130
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: Do you the lack of offensive production than twenty one

131
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: points for the offense yesterday and the defense gave him

132
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: a touchdown as well. Does that have more to do

133
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 4: with lack of execution or do you think that this

134
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: conservative approach week in and week out leaves them no

135
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 4: margin of error?

136
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 5: Well, I think that's a really good question, right if

137
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 5: we knew the answer to that. I do think that

138
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 5: there's two games now of the last several in which

139
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 5: the inability to come out in the second half and

140
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 5: put together a drive has cost a team. I felt

141
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 5: like they had the Packers, and think about this, you know,

142
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 5: at the end of the Packers game, We're all dragging

143
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 5: back to the car, thinking, Wow, that this duders. They

144
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 5: got beat pretty convincingly in that game. Fact of the

145
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 5: matter is they were leading going into the fourth quarter.

146
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 5: You know, if they put together a drive and they

147
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 5: were leading, you know, coming out of halftime. Okay, so

148
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 5: it's twenty one to seventeen.

149
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: If you put.

150
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 5: Together a touchdown drive there, it's a different game. If

151
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 5: you put together a touchdown drive against the Packers. I'm

152
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 5: firmly convinced you win the game against Green Bay, and

153
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 5: I think you to put yourself in a great position

154
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 5: to do that. It's for whatever reason, they've been great

155
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 5: in opening drives in the first half and not great

156
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 5: in opening drives in the second half.

157
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 2: And again, that's.

158
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 5: One of those things where you talk about momentum swings

159
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 5: and other things that are vital to games within the

160
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 5: game itself, that's one that all of a sudden gets

161
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 5: you back on your heels offensively and defensively. So I

162
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 5: think that that's something that they've got to find a

163
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 5: way to clean up this, you know, this sort of

164
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 5: third quarter lulls that they've had in the past couple

165
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 5: of weeks when you're facing good opponents. You can't have

166
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 5: that because there were portions of this game where I

167
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 5: thought this Teers were clearly the better team. But you know,

168
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 5: you need to find ways, and I thought that same

169
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 5: thing about Green Bay. You need to find ways to

170
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 5: put the hammer down on a team, and they've I

171
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 5: thought they let the Bengals off off the mat in

172
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 5: the first meeting.

173
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: No question.

174
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 5: You know, I think that could have been seventeen nothing

175
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 5: in that game. You know they're saying the other teams

176
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 5: are saying the same thing. Believe me, if we hadn't

177
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 5: given up that play in the first half, you know

178
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 5: we'd have won that game or whatever. I mean, that's

179
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 5: that's the NFL. It's what it comes down to. And

180
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 5: we're used to this Dealers being the team that makes

181
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 5: those plays, and the last few weeks it's been elusive

182
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 5: for him.

183
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 4: If it's and ifs and butts where candy and nuts,

184
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: my aunt would be my uncle.

185
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: So here's my question to you.

186
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: I thought we'd all have a merry Christmas, but I oh,

187
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 5: I always mix metaphors.

188
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: Okay, nice?

189
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 4: Uh the weekend and week out, this soft zone coverage

190
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 4: they keep deploying.

191
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: What why do you think they are married to that.

192
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 5: Well, I think Caleb Williams caught him once in man,

193
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think back.

194
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 4: Because Caleb, Caleb Williams seemed to get flustered with any

195
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 4: pressure in front of him and had massive trouble in

196
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 4: a tight, tight window.

197
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: He completed fifty four percent of his passes yesterday.

198
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

199
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 5: Uh, He's an interesting guy, Caleb Williams, because you can

200
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 5: see the arm talent, and you see the ability to

201
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 5: run and the things that he brings to a team.

202
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 5: And you know, he the touchdown pass to the tight

203
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 5: end in the first half. I mean he caught him

204
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 5: coming right out of the break. That was a really

205
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 5: good throw on time. And you know, it's almost like

206
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 5: he throws the intermediate ball better. But I don't know,

207
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 5: he was inaccurate some intermediate.

208
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 2: Balls as well.

209
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 5: Throws the ball away a lot, which I think his

210
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 5: coach wants him to do, which hurts his completion percentage

211
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 5: a little bit. But yeah, accurately, he's not the most

212
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 5: accurate thrower for sure, and the steers just didn't do

213
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 5: enough to disrupt his timing, you know. So I think

214
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 5: it was one sack and one quarterback hit. You know,

215
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 5: the Steelers led the league in quarterback hits going into

216
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 5: this game, and they weren't able to make him uncomfortable.

217
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 5: And I think the notion is, hey, let's get home,

218
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 5: let's make him uncomfortable, and then if he does complete something,

219
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 5: we can tackle the catch. But when you don't make

220
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,599
Speaker 5: him uncomfortable and you're playing back, that's that seemed to

221
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 5: be a bat combination yesterday in which you know, there

222
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 5: was third and ten's, third and elevens and we've seen that,

223
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 5: you know, I'm sure too frequently for the Steelers' taste,

224
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 5: these long third down conversions, you know, third and ten,

225
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 5: third and eleven. I'm keeping drives alive and not getting

226
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 5: off the field. And yeah, there were you know, there

227
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 5: are guys that appeared to be wide open down the

228
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 5: middle of the field on several occasions, and you know

229
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 5: that's got to be cleaned up, has to be or

230
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 5: it's going to be difficult going down to stretch here.

231
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 4: Kinger, I think that Steeler fans have enjoyed so much

232
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 4: of the later part, the latter part of Mason Rudolph's

233
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 4: time with the Steelers, that the assumption is, oh, Aaron

234
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: Rodgers can't go that's fine. Mason's just as good. I'm

235
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 4: one hundred percent guilty of being that person. My expectation

236
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 4: was that there would be little drop off. I don't

237
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 4: think that was the case yesterday. I think he struggled yesterday.

238
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 4: And I'm wondering your thoughts on where likely just because

239
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 4: of rust he fell short or missed some opportunities yesterday.

240
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 5: Well, Mike Tomlin was asked about the evaluation of Mason

241
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 5: Rudolph yesterday after the game, and he said, look, we

242
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 5: lost the game and he's part of that, right, So

243
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 5: you know, I thought Mason. I thought Mason was fine.

244
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 5: I thought the Steelers, especially against the Bears team that

245
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 5: was banged up, I thought the Steelers were the better team,

246
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 5: and I thought they were going to win the game.

247
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 5: And you know the Bears. Look, the Bears have pulled.

248
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: I mean I just figured, what are you going to

249
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 5: reach into that hat.

250
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: And there's not a rabit at the bottom of it.

251
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, they've just you know, they've They're

252
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 5: eight and four, eight and four, and they have a

253
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 5: negative point differential. They've been outscored by their opponents and

254
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 5: they're eight and four. How does that figure? Five games

255
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 5: they've won in the last two minutes, and you could

256
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 5: almost count yesterday as a game like solenity. It doesn't

257
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 5: officially count, but they they in the last two minutes

258
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 5: of the game. They came through five games and and

259
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 5: you know, the records, the clear records on that go

260
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: back to Night three, and it's been it ties a

261
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 5: record going back at least forty two years of winning

262
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 5: games in the last two minutes. They have been able

263
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 5: to do things that I think we've grown accustomed to

264
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 5: the Steelers doing, which is winning games late. You know

265
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 5: it's close, and you know under Mike Tomlin it's close.

266
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 5: Steelers are gonna win. That's just the way it's been,

267
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 5: and you know, the Bears have that magic.

268
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: This year.

269
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 5: I thought Mason Rudolph was fine. I thought the I

270
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 5: thought that the team with Mason Rudolph and with the

271
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 5: way he.

272
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: Played, was good enough to win. And it wasn't.

273
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 5: And I'm not sure why other than the stalling. You know,

274
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 5: you look up in the in the third quarter again,

275
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 5: I just keep pointing to that third quarter. CBS flashed

276
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 5: up a stat and I happen to see it, even

277
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 5: though I don't look at their monitor very often. When

278
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 5: I'm doing the game. And you know, remember the Steelers

279
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 5: got the ball first, right, they got the ball to

280
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 5: begin the second half, and they flashed up with a

281
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 5: couple of minutes left in the fourth quarter that the

282
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 5: yardage was one hundred and twelve to thirteen in the

283
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,119
Speaker 5: third quarter. Well, you can't have that on either end, right, defensively,

284
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 5: you can't give them that amount of yardage in a

285
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 5: quarter of play. And you got the ball first, and

286
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 5: you were still you know, you put together a drive.

287
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,239
Speaker 2: That's literally an impossible statistic.

288
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 5: So you know, you don't put it together the drive,

289
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 5: and then you give up a drive to them, and

290
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 5: then you know, you wind up chasing the game again.

291
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 5: And that's just happened too frequently for him. As far

292
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 5: as Mason, I thought he was. I thought he was

293
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 5: good enough to you know, to win. Did he make

294
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 5: you know, big plays? No? Was he a victim of

295
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 5: an unbelievable interception? Yes, I thought there were some guys

296
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 5: opened down the sideline, including that one to Metcalf where

297
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 5: he had a chance to And I thought Roman Wilson

298
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 5: had a step later when he took a shot up

299
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 5: the left sideline. You know, those are throws I think

300
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 5: if you lays it out in front of him, there's

301
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 5: a chance those are completed. That having been said, I

302
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 5: thought the game plan, especially early on, was solid. They

303
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 5: gave him passes he could complete. They stretched the Bears wide,

304
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 5: they ran it up the middle. They had a great

305
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 5: rushing half in the first half, and then it again,

306
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 5: it just didn't happen in.

307
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: The second half.

308
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 6: Hey, Rob, they're saying that they the offense. You know,

309
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 6: they're not taking deep shots. Mason can't throw the deep ball.

310
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 6: But is some of this checkdown stuff, shallow crossing routes.

311
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 6: Is this sort of an indictment on what they kind

312
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 6: of implicitly think about their pass protection that we're not

313
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 6: talking about.

314
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: It's a great question. I don't know the answer to that.

315
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, when when you talk about Aaron

316
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 5: Rodgers with the quick release, right like, that's been a

317
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 5: story all season long.

318
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: So what are the causes of a quick release?

319
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, he can read the off he

320
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 5: can read the defense like nobody, so he knows, you know,

321
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 5: before the ball snapped, exactly where he's going with it.

322
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: So that helps.

323
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 5: But again then you start thinking, well does he have

324
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 5: to do that? Is he trying to protect the offensive

325
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 5: line early on. He got two new tackles starting, you know,

326
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 5: Broderick a new left tackle, Foutano's starting at right tackle.

327
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 5: And then you start thinking, are you trying to marry

328
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 5: the scheme to that? Frankly, it's a great question, and

329
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 5: I don't know the answer to that.

330
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what.

331
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 5: I don't know whether they're implicitly saying that, or whether

332
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 5: that's what they want to do, or that's that's what

333
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 5: is best for the team.

334
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: I don't know.

335
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 5: It's a great question, and it's one I've pondered, and

336
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 5: it's one I don't know the answer to.

337
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: Do you have a.

338
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 4: Sense of why we haven't seen Scantlon on the roster?

339
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: You know, they go out and get him with the thinking,

340
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 4: well he's got a history with Aaron Rodgers. You know,

341
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 4: we don't exactly have stellar production out of our number

342
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: two wide receiver right now.

343
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: Maybe this guy can get something jump started.

344
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 4: I'm surprised that we haven't even seen him in a helmet.

345
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 5: Well, I mean his numbers, you know, he's he's not

346
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 5: the prime Marquez Valdez scanting right, And I think he

347
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 5: reminds me a little bit of at this point of

348
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 5: his career. Now again I don't want to undersell him,

349
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 5: but he reminds me a little bit of when they

350
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 5: got Mike Williams last year, right, like a veteran guy

351
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 5: who's been around, certainly not enjoying the salad years. It's

352
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 5: a in Arizona references not enjoying the salad years maybe

353
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 5: of his career.

354
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting.

355
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 5: It's gonna be interesting to see whether they whether they

356
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 5: decide that this isn't enough. But again, I still go

357
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 5: and I understand where you're coming with that question. You know,

358
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 5: they're gonna put the guys that they think are best

359
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 5: out there, and certainly for the scheme that they have,

360
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 5: they haven't been getting enough production. I thought they would

361
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 5: and I thought I thought Johnny Smith was gonna have

362
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 5: a big year. I thought Calvin Austin was gonna have

363
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 5: a big year. At the beginning of the year, it

364
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: looked like Calvin was gonna have a big year. And

365
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 5: then I just thought that with the other guys, you know,

366
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 5: Roman Wilson coming back. You know, it was so funny

367
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 5: last year he got drafted and was like, oh, we

368
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 5: got our slot guy, and this year, he's like, you know,

369
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 5: in fans view, like on a milk cart, you know,

370
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 5: like he's a bust.

371
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: He was hurt last year for crying out loud.

372
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 5: You know, they're just sort of blithely expecting he was

373
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 5: gonna be the guy. Well, I thought he would come along,

374
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 5: and I think he has to some degree utilizing a

375
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 5: little bit more of Darnell Washington, Pat Fryarmouth.

376
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: It feels like if feels like to me like.

377
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 5: There's enough there. And I've said this, and I guess

378
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 5: I'm wrong. I guess they you know, maybe they do

379
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 5: need somebody else. I thought there was enough there, enough variety.

380
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 5: We all think that the passing attack was going to

381
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 5: be good enough. I mean, I understood Randy. People were

382
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 5: saying we need to go out and get a number

383
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 5: two receiver. I wasn't as adamant about that as others.

384
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 5: But you know, maybe I was wrong about that.

385
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 4: I just can't believe that at this point in the

386
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 4: year that Johnny Smith doesn't have more production than currently.

387
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 4: I mean, how many receptions does he have on the

388
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 4: season right now?

389
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: I think he's there.

390
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 5: I think he's their second leading receiver in terms of receptions,

391
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 5: but the yards per reception. That's you know, that's where

392
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 5: it's it's it's sort of not happening, you know.

393
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 2: I mean, there's I'm gonna I'm gonna try to get

394
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: those statistics. Six point three yeah, I mean wow, you

395
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: know that's.

396
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: He's twenty nine forty one targets.

397
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, after gain Wells, tied with Metcalfs. I mean, I'm

398
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 5: talking about among the receiving core. He's second behind DK

399
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 5: Metcalf with twenty nine catches, but six point three yards

400
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 5: per reception. I mean again, that's kind of what you

401
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 5: expect out of a running back, you know, and they

402
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 5: just haven't been able to unleash him.

403
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: And I'm not sure why. I don't know.

404
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 5: Again, it feels like, you know, you see the points

405
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 5: of the game.

406
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: To me, again, this is this is my opinion.

407
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 5: I see the points of the game where the Steelers

408
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 5: look great, you know, they look like they're marching the

409
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 5: ball down the field, They're running the football effectively. The

410
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 5: offense looks really good, the defense gets a sack, and

411
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 5: it's just it hasn't been consistent enough for them. And

412
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 5: I still, you know, again, maybe I'm just looking, you know,

413
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 5: through the wrong lens here, But I see the elements

414
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 5: for a team that I think should be better than

415
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 5: six and five, and I still have hope that they

416
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 5: can put those elements together and you know, make a

417
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 5: run here down the stretch because they've they're pretty much

418
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 5: the margin of error that they had getting off to

419
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 5: the fast start has pretty much been whittled down to

420
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 5: little or none.

421
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 4: Oh no, yeah, I mean I think they're they're back

422
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 4: at even basically at this point, you know, just on

423
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 4: the other side of it, going forward on the tush

424
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 4: push all right. While the one they didn't get, I

425
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 4: actually think they crossed the line to gain and got

426
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 4: a bad spot on that one. But it developed so

427
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 4: slowly that I was like, this, it never looks good

428
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 4: when we do it, but it's had some success. And

429
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 4: then the fake the gain weld, you know, which may

430
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: or may not have been parodying off what we saw

431
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 4: Mark Andrews do last week for the Ravens. That was brilliant, brilliant.

432
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 4: So I know we're not gonna stop seeing that anytime soon.

433
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 4: But might I suggest we just let eighty take the

434
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 4: ball there, Like, if we're gonna do it, just give

435
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 4: him the ball, because if he falls forward.

436
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 3: That's probably a first down.

437
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: Well, I liked the idea.

438
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, he looks like he could just

439
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: simply and maybe what he should do is just tuck

440
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 5: Connor Hayward under he just pick him up, farm a

441
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 5: few people and run and run him down to Actually.

442
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: Why I think it was so slow developing yesterday's because

443
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 4: I think Connor was waiting for him to pick him

444
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 4: up and put him in the Babyborn like.

445
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 3: I literally think.

446
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 4: He was waiting to be embraced by Washington and then

447
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 4: start moving or something. Because he just stood there for

448
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 4: a second. I don't know why. Maybe he was trying

449
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 4: to make sure he had the ball. That's the frustration

450
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 4: and the frustrating thing with the tousch pushes. You never

451
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 4: know what the hell's going on in the middle of it.

452
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 4: You can't you can't officiate it. You can't really see

453
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 4: what's happening. And I think they did get hose there,

454
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 4: but I think you just give it to Washington going

455
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 4: forward and let him do it and then let Connor

456
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 4: push him.

457
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

458
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 5: Maybe I will say this, it did look strange and

459
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 5: I think I said it on the airge and it

460
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 5: just didn't feel like it was like it was almost

461
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 5: like he was standing straight up and then he got

462
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 5: the snap. Didn't look right, I mean, it looked off kilter.

463
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 5: Having said that, and again I didn't get you know,

464
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 5: I'm not hearing the review. I'm not hearing Gene sterritory.

465
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 5: I don't know if it was Gene yesterday. Was it

466
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 5: was it Gene? It was Okay, I'm not hearing you know,

467
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 5: his explanation for what happened. The only thing I can

468
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 5: think of on that toush push and that was a

469
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 5: bad sequence. Right, They thought they had the first down,

470
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 5: and then they they're showing the replay and they're showing

471
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 5: the replay that you know, guy's got his finger in

472
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 5: gain Weell's eye and he's ripping his face mask down.

473
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 5: You know that that's a bad, bad optic. They can't

474
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 5: review that, you know.

475
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 4: So that's the thing that I don't think a lot

476
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 4: of Steelers fans real you just because they missed it.

477
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 3: You can't see it on the replay and call it right.

478
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: That's right.

479
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 5: And then the other thing was it really looked to me,

480
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 5: uh you know that he had the first down and

481
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 5: that of course that wound up being just a massive

482
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 5: call and when they went to break, I was still

483
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 5: firmly convinced. I mean, my eyes were on the red

484
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 5: hat during the TV timeout, he's you know, they're they're

485
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 5: looking at it, they're reviewing all those plays, and he's

486
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 5: with the officials, and I was like ninety percent convinced

487
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 5: they were going to overturn that. Now, look, I have

488
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 5: not and never will be somebody that comes on and say, oh,

489
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 5: the officials job though, so that we you know, I'm

490
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 5: just listen and if if you know, I understand people

491
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 5: get upset and they get excited about it. I figure

492
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 5: those things usually over the course of the game balance

493
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 5: themselves out. But I just I was surprised, not quite shocked,

494
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 5: but darn close to its surprised that they did not

495
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 5: overturn that and call it a first down. I don't

496
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 5: know what the explanation was, you know, the thing you

497
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 5: can say, maybe I don't know when they blew the

498
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 5: whistle right, you know, I have no idea, And maybe

499
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 5: that was their explanation for not giving it to him,

500
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 5: But it clearly seemed to me like he he gained

501
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 5: the line to gain, but you know, so it goes

502
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: and you know, again that sets up the beautiful reverse

503
00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 5: later to gain.

504
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: Well that was a near touchdown. So yeah, again.

505
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 5: Just when you talk about the outcome of a game,

506
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 5: that's one of those little things that if you pick

507
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 5: that up and you go down and either kick a

508
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 5: field goal or you score a touchdown, I mean your

509
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 5: leads that much bigger going into halftime.

510
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 4: Rob King, Voice of the Steelers, Here with the power

511
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 4: hour of Steeler Talk. This half hour brought to you

515
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 4: from the Steelers Audio Network postgame show. I always like

516
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 4: to have one of those calls in here. Maybe the

517
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,959
Speaker 4: guy that asked Mike if Mason wasn't already on his

518
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 4: rectum before he fumbled.

519
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 3: What a gift that, Yeah, maybe that'll be our call

520
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: of the day.

521
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 4: Who knows, Mike, Uh, wasn't Mason already on his rectum?

522
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 6: If you're on your rectum, something really bad has happened.

523
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 6: Yourrect them is inside, so if you're sitting on top

524
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 6: of it, then something has.

525
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 3: Really really gone horribly wrong.

526
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think there's a Rectum review, but Micha

00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 4: with Rob King here on DVE Sports is.

546
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 8: How brought to you by Bridgeville Applied so it was

547
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 8: a time when the Steelers were four and one and

548
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 8: in control of the AFC North. Not anymore, in the

549
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 8: wake of four losses in six games, including yesterday's thirty

550
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 8: one to twenty eight loss in Chicago to the eight

551
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 8: and three Chicago Bears. I still don't know how they're

552
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 8: eight and three. I don't know how many more games

553
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 8: they're going to win the rest of the way.

554
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 4: I don't know how they couldn't have made it easier

555
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 4: on the Steelers yesterday either. Everybody was hurting their defense

556
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: and we still couldn't take advantage of it.

557
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 3: And somehow they come out of this eight and three.

558
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: It's a joke. You know, they're the worst eight three

559
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 3: team in the history of eight and three.

560
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 8: You get one hundred and eighty six yards rushing, usually

561
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 8: you win the game. You get a defensive score, usually

562
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 8: you win the game. The Steelers found the way to

563
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 8: do both of those things and not win the game.

564
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 8: But as the old coach might have said, and Mason

565
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 8: Rudolph said yesterday, they are not tiered.

566
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: There's never been panic here.

567
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 9: We've been Pittsburgh Steelers long enough to know we've we've

568
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 9: been behind down in the division and up and there's

569
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 9: just a it's a natural have and flowed the season.

570
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 3: And I'm very.

571
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 9: Confident our guys to, you know, keep fighting and end

572
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 9: up on top.

573
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 6: I know you have to say this, but it's basically

574
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 6: saying we're used to this, and that's disturbing and up itself. Yeah,

575
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 6: we're used to this up and down roller coaster. Being

576
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 6: six and five, maybe going to eke into the playoffs.

577
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 6: This is fine, everything's fine. It's been that way for

578
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 6: a while now. Six and five, same record as the Ravens.

579
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 6: But the Ravens are currently in possession of first place

580
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 6: in the division because they're two and zero in the

581
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 6: division to this point, the Steelers are two and one.

582
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh is the first team on the outside looking in

583
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 6: in terms of the wildcard race. Steelers are six and five,

584
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 6: the Texans are six and five, The Chiefs are six

585
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 6: and five.

586
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 8: What the Steelers have remaining, we mentioned today that they

587
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 8: could probably win any one of their remaining games or

588
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 8: lose any one of their remaining games. It's not like

589
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 8: they're gonna have to run a gauntlet. Buffalo is three

590
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 8: and four and it's last seven and two and three

591
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 8: on the road. The Bills have beaten Baltimore, Kansas City,

592
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 8: and Tampa, lost at Atlanta and lost at Miami. It's

593
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 8: not a bridge too far. Then you get the Baltimore Ravens,

594
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 8: who have won five in a row and are six

595
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 8: and five. They beat the snot out of the Bears

596
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 8: at home back in October to Smart to start their

597
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 8: winning streak. Since then, they've beaten Miami four and seven,

598
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 8: Minnesota four and seven, Cleveland three and eight, and the

599
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 8: Jets two and nine, and none of those were layups

600
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 8: from start to finish. The Ravens go ahead and crown

601
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 8: them if you want. I'm not willing to do that.

602
00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 8: Then it's Miami four and seven. Overall, Dolphins are shown

603
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 8: some signs of life. They've won three of four, and

604
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 8: they get New Orleans and the Jets before they play

605
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 8: the Steelers. So uh, maybe the Dolphins will come here

606
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 8: on a roll, but it'll be Miami playing in Pittsburgh

607
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 8: at night in December.

608
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, you got to remember what the Ravens though. They're

609
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 6: doing the reverse of what we do. They've lost to

610
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 6: teams they should have probably lost to, and beat all

611
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 6: the teams that they should have beat, because who they lose,

612
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 6: they lost to the Chiefs, the Bills. I mean, they're

613
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 6: losing the good teams.

614
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 4: They they didn't suffer too much when Lamar was out

615
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: in being egregiously defeated by you know, the Bengals and

616
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 4: stuff like that.

617
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 8: Baltimore, by the way, still has to play Cincinnati twice,

618
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 8: and Burrow's coming back. They go to Cincinnati on Thanksgiving

619
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 8: nightad they're a road team on a Thursday against Joe Burrow,

620
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 8: Jamar Chase and T Higgins.

621
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 4: I'm not discounting the Steelers' opportunities here.

622
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 8: Mike Baltimore still plays New England, Baltimore still plays at

623
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 8: Green Bay.

624
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 4: Not discounting their opportunity. It's their inability to take advantage

625
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: of situations like yesterday. I know it was Mason Rudolph,

626
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 4: but there's no way they should have lost that game.

627
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 4: There's no way they should have lost that first game

628
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 4: to Cincinnati.

629
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 8: Agreed and agreed, But this it might be one of

630
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 8: those years. Nine and eight might win the division if

631
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 8: it's the right nine. Yeah, against Baltimore. Nine and eight

632
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 8: might get you in the playoffs if it's the right nine. Now,

633
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 8: of course, the whole goal this year, and the whole plan,

634
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 8: was to stop getting in is the seventh seed and

635
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 8: having to go on the road for an ass kick.

636
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 8: And it was to actually have a real quarterback and

637
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 8: win the division and get at least one home game.

638
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 3: But if they have to go on the road, if

639
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: they have to go.

640
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 8: On the road for the ass kick, and it would

641
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 8: be to Indianapolis or New England, and they've already.

642
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 3: Beat both of those teams, that is true.

643
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: So you know.

644
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: It sucks right now. But there's a lot of golf left.

645
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 4: Romondriousty evenson really did help him out on that end.

646
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I know the defense played great and they

647
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 4: helped get you the fumbles, but that dude could not

648
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 4: hold onto the ball that day.

649
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 3: He could not.

650
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 8: Couple three plays yesterday and they were all just catastrophic failures.

651
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 4: The problem is it never looks different. It's always the

652
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 4: same kind of bad. It's always the same mistakes, the

653
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 4: defense playing way too soft, the offense with this limited.

654
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 8: But it's again we went over this today. They held

655
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 8: the Bears below what the Bears usually do.

656
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 3: I know, but they gave up a huge touchdown. But

657
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 3: they did.

658
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 8: But you're saying way too you know, sometimes that plays

659
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 8: to their advantage.

660
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: We can.

661
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 3: We can pick them.

662
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 8: Cherry pick plays and say that was terrible, and we'd

663
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 8: be right. But they held them under their total yards.

664
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 8: They held them way under their rushing yards. Caleb Williams

665
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 8: was Caleb Williams. They won the time of possession.

666
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 4: Which we won, and they gave up thirty one points,

667
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 4: which means you lose ninety eight percent of the time.

668
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: It was some good.

669
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 8: They also scored seven the defense, so they held the

670
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 8: Bears to their average. They were who they thought they were.

671
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 8: I'm the offense has to be better.

672
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 4: We've been see I don't think the defense is more

673
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 4: culpable than the offense or special teams yesterday. But what

674
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 4: I'm saying is they don't get better despite having all

675
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: of the big names and all of the big money talent,

676
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 4: and no matter what we do, it never gets better.

677
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 4: That is a game that they should be should have

678
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 4: been able to make the Bears offense look even more

679
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 4: one dimensional, and they couldn't take advantage of one of

680
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 4: the worst percentage quarterbacks.

681
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 3: In the league. Well, oh, I know, they scored. Not

682
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: a perfect game by far.

683
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 8: That We've talked about their season long issues with being

684
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 8: unable to play zone defense, bites them every game, but

685
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 8: that was the offense had two shots to tire win

686
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 8: that game.

687
00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 3: And failed.

688
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 4: I'm going offense, special teams, defense, all over it, all

689
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 4: over it. Yeah, Rob King sitting there, head in hand

690
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 4: right now, just frustrated and the same talk of the

691
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 4: same problems that we've been seeing all year long.

692
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: But what say you, sir again?

693
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 5: I go back to and I don't think I'm far

694
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 5: off from what Mike is saying. First of all, I

695
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 5: felt like the Steelers really needed to win one of

696
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 5: these two games, right They needed to either beat the

697
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 5: Bears or beat the Bills. I thought the Bears were

698
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 5: the easier pickings. I thought they were going to win

699
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 5: the game. If you had a choice, you'd rather beat

700
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 5: the Bills because they're an AFC team.

701
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 2: So it just sets up a really.

702
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 5: Important game on Sunday to beat the Bills at home,

703
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 5: defeat an AFC opponent. But there's been a couple of

704
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 5: games this year that are uncharacteristic of what we've seen

705
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 5: of this years over the years. Like Mike said, you

706
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 5: tell me you're gonna come up with a defensive touchdown,

707
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 5: You're gonna win the time of possession for the first

708
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 5: time all year, You're gonna run more plays than other team,

709
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 5: by the way, decidedly winning time of possession.

710
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: Running the football, all of those elements.

711
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 5: Right, If you give me all those puzzle pieces, I'm

712
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 5: putting together a puzzle that has a w right. And

713
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 5: for some reason there's been a couple of games like

714
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,959
Speaker 5: that this year in which it just doesn't seem to

715
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 5: fit right. It's why I'm still holding out hope that

716
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 5: there's that there's a better football team in there that

717
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 5: we've seen results wise, because I just see a lot

718
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 5: of the puzzle pieces in place. And you know this,

719
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 5: this was one in which if you told me going in,

720
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 5: they're gonna have a defensive touchdown, they're gonna run for

721
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 5: one to eighty six, they're gonna win the time of possession,

722
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 5: they're gonna run more plays than the Bears. Okay, then

723
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 5: they're gonna win, and they didn't.

724
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 4: Now, you know, my nightmare scenario next week is that

725
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers still can't go, and then Josh Allen gets

726
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 4: hurt and we see Mitch Trubisky versus Mason Rudolph and

727
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 4: Mitch lights up the Steelers defense.

728
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 3: I think Aaron Rodgers goes next Sunday. If his heart

729
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 3: is beating, you're probably right about that.

730
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 4: All right, call of the day the Steelers Audio Network

731
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 4: postgame show.

732
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 3: When we come back, it's.

733
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 4: Max Starks for my friends at Clearview Federal Credit Union.

Speaker 3: Clearview is Steve Morning Show.

735
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 4: Right here on your radio home at the Pittsburghteelers one

736
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 4: O two point five DVE. We're with Rob King, voice

737
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 4: of the Steelers on the Steelers Audio Network, and with

738
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 4: Mike Persuda, who hosts the postgame show and every week

739
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 4: I like Mike to highlight one of the calls that

740
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 4: you and Charlie Batch get brought.

741
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 3: You don't like this feature, No, I love this features.

742
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 6: This is how you deal with trauma, like you have

743
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 6: to relive it and confront it head on.

744
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 4: And Rob King he's probably got a little PTS D

745
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 4: from this as well, having been on that postgame show.

746
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 3: Here's from yesterday. Pete in the car. You're up next

747
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: with Mike and Charlie. How are you Pete?

748
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: Good?

749
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 10: Guys, I'm confused as well, you know, just licking my

750
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 10: wounds from Matt tough loss. You know what get you know,

751
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 10: talking the broadcast. So I have a quick story and

752
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 10: a question to fall. So I have my kids this

753
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 10: weekend and they're like, that's good on a game. So

754
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,479
Speaker 10: I'm like, okay, that's good. So we go down a game.

755
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 10: We go down, drive down, no traffic or nothing, and

756
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 10: all of a sudden we get down there, no game.

757
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 10: It's in Chicago. So I was waring. You know, they

758
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 10: had trouble with the broadcast. Did they advertise like where

759
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 10: this game is being played? Like much?

760
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they start in May when the schedules released.

761
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 10: But I always switch that up, don't they, you know,

762
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 10: like with the times and stuff.

763
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 3: No, it's pretty much been well know, the game was

764
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 3: in Chicago today. Yeah, the time stayed the same.

765
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 11: The time can change, but never the venue once the

766
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 11: schedule is released. I'm not sure where the mix up

767
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 11: happened as you were preparing for the game to day.

768
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 10: Maybe an old I don't know, maybe an old schedule

769
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 10: or something. I don't know. But okay, so getting onto

770
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 10: the game, Okay, to the game. We have an overabundance

771
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 10: of tight ends right.

772
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 3: Fair amount essentially on the roster.

773
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 2: Yes, and I.

774
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 10: Don't know if Tom don't even thought about this, but

775
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 10: what if you played them at like other positions? So

776
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 10: the other team don't know where you're throwing the ball.

777
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 10: You know, could be the guy next to the center

778
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 10: he goes uh like Washington, he's picked if he blocks

779
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 10: or if he goes out and they throwing the ball,

780
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 10: and he's pretty simple. But I don't know just why

781
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 10: nobody else thought about it, especially you're so deep the deposition.

782
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, Ultimately, when you get to this point of the season,

783
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 11: Tennessee's always start to kind of play out.

784
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 3: Pack is good a substitution.

785
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 11: Packages personnel groups that you're putting on the field. So

786
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 11: by trying to put three tight ends and then maybe

787
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 11: for an example, Smith.

788
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 6: Out wide, you're saying, Charlie couldn't even he got him

789
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 6: back on the He got whatever that was back right

790
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 6: on the rails pretty right there.

791
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

792
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 4: So that guy suggesting that you put the tight end

793
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 4: next guard and then runs a route, Yeah, what if

794
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 4: you put a wig hold on.

795
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 3: I gotta finish it. I gotta finish it.

796
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 11: It's still three tight ends on the field. So defensively

797
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 11: they're going to use that package.

798
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 10: People truly, I met, like, you know, you have the

799
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 10: center and then you go one tight end on right

800
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 10: next to him, and one tight end right on the

801
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 10: other side, so he could either block or he could

802
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 10: go out for a pass.

803
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're not they're not eligible to line up there

804
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 8: and catch your pass by rule. Appreciate the call, Pete.

805
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 3: I got waited like a half an hour. Okay, Rob,

806
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 3: that was real. I didn't know if he was. He's

807
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 3: not drunk. He's not drunk. I think he was busting

808
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 3: my chops.

809
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 4: I think I think that was a perfectly executed troll.

810
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 3: I don't. I'm with Conco. I think I think that

811
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 3: was real. Real, he's too innocent to be I think the.

812
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 6: Game no game listen. I'd love to laugh at that guy.

813
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 6: But me and my dad did that for a Penguins

814
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 6: game one time. We went down to that bar, you

815
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 6: know that had the roast beef sandwiches next to the

816
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 6: Manor garage.

817
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: And we're cruising down two seventy nine. We're like, there's

818
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 3: no traffic. We're killing it. We get to the bar

819
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 3: like thirty minutes before the game.

820
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 6: We're eating a roast beef sandwich and we asked the

821
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 6: bar and You're like, where is everybody. They're like, uh,

822
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 6: in Columbus where the Blue Jackets are playing.

823
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 3: If we had no clue, so we're idiots.

824
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 4: Also, we don't they played a goalie's center.

825
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 8: It was difficult to comprehend initially, like I was trying

826
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 8: to Okay, where's this going?

827
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 3: Is this that's why I where is there going to

828
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: be a punch like here?

829
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 4: Now, you can't pay attention to the Steelers football to

830
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 4: the extent that you want to call in a postgame

831
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 4: show and.

832
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 3: Not know that you can't throw you can't throw pass

833
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: to the guard. Yeah.

834
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 8: There was another guy that called in and it was

835
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 8: the Rudolph fumble, and he wanted to know if Rudolph

836
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 8: had landed on his rectum before losing the ball. And

837
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 8: I don't know if he was setting me up or not,

838
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 8: but I just didn't go there.

839
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 3: I don't know what.

840
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, that seems like he's trying to tee you up

841
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 6: for one. I know if it was a troll. He

842
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 6: just wanted me to say rect them he knows, get

843
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:14,479
Speaker 6: that's what he was doing.

844
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 3: We got a lot of morning show love on the

845
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 3: post gas.

846
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

847
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 8: No, and that guy was giving you I heard it

848
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 8: bad that I didn't give it back.

849
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 4: But it's just what you can't do it on the network.

850
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 4: That's different. That's like mom and dad and grandma are

851
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 4: at the table. When it's a Steelers you can't do

852
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 4: morning shows. I think they want a little personality, but

853
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 4: I just wasn't.

854
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 3: You can't.

855
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, they don't want wrect them talk. I

856
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 4: don't think ar Rooney's like the postgame show has been missing.

857
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 8: Rectum, just a little more rectim Well, I mean I

858
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 8: didn't bring it up, but you know, the guy kind

859
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 8: of threw me the lob and I didn't.

860
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 3: I didn't at home.

861
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 4: Now, all right, look, Josh Allen and the Bills are

862
00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 4: looking this weekend to come in here and basically ruin

863
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 4: the Steelers season. They do have a chance, as you

864
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 4: pointed out, Mike and Rob you did as well. The

865
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 4: Steelers do with a win over the Bills, an AFC opponent,

866
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 4: they're right back in it. Lose this one and it

867
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 4: is tough sled and going ahead.

868
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 5: Rob King, Yeah, that's it. I mean, you know again,

869
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 5: I thought they had to win one of the two.

870
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 5: If you could choose one, it would be this game.

871
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 5: Now you you pretty much have to chuse. You're you're

872
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 5: out of selections.

873
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 2: You got it. You gotta beat the Bills. You got

874
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: to find a way to beat him.

875
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, or otherwise you're just really you know, otherwise you

876
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 5: need help and you want to be able to sort

877
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 5: of be able to, you know, dictate what's gonna happen

878
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 5: with you. I know, Mike, never control your own destiny. Mike,

879
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 5: I know you don't like that.

880
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 2: Control your own fate. I know you don't like that either.

881
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 3: No, but fate.

882
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: You can control fate or no.

883
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 3: You can control fate, not destiny. But if it's your

884
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 3: destiny is preordained.

885
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 2: But isn't fate preordained as well?

886
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 3: Well?

887
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 8: Because sometimes you deserve the better fate. There were options.

888
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we're going to have to have an

889
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 5: etymological conversation about this, but not now. Perhaps I do

890
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 5: think that you know, you listen, you want to be

891
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 5: in a position to be able to dictate the outcome

892
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 5: of your own season. And the Steelers, if they beat

893
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 5: the Bills are still in that position. If they don't

894
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 5: beat the Bills, now they've got big problems.

895
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 3: See, I think fate, I think those are synonyms. I

896
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 3: do what I'm staying with.

897
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 2: I agree that's.

898
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 4: My story and I'm sticking to it. I know they're

899
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 4: both stripper names, So there is that too.

900
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 8: Just one other point about all these other teams that

901
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 8: are all the same, and people watch the Steelers, I

902
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 8: think they get a little Steeler blinders, and they think

903
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 8: the rest of the league is operating perfectly and with efficiency.

904
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 8: Our old buddy, mile buddy vic Carucci's been covering the

905
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 8: NFL for one hundred years, like I have. He's working

906
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 8: for a TV station in Buffalo now and he does

907
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 8: a little write ups online. Here's what he wrote about

908
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,959
Speaker 8: the Bills after their loss in Houston, in which Josh

909
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 8: Allen got sacked eight times and hit twelve times on

910
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 8: the road. Now, Steelers defense is as good as Houston's,

911
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 8: but it's as good as Houston's rush in the passer.

912
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 8: Bill's O line stinks. They have no receivers. They're terrible

913
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 8: on the road. Vic wrote, quote, the high hopes for

914
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 8: this team seem a bit lower, but the week to

915
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 8: week nature of the NFL keeps all goals in play.

916
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 8: Reaching them might be more challenging than expected, but that's

917
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 8: for every team in the league. Man, Yep, it's got

918
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 8: to let a play out.

919
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 4: Well, you'll hear Rob King along with Max Starks and

920

Speaker 13: The Steelers total of the Chicago Bears yesterday afternoon in Chicago,

944
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 13: a loss that drops and teamed to six and five

945
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 13: on the season. Steewer's backup quarterback Mason Rudolph started in

946
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 13: place of injured quarterback Aaron Rodgers and played okay, but

947
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 13: did throw an interception on his first pass of the game,

948
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 13: which the Bears offense was able to turn into the

949
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 13: game's opening touchdown. And that was really the story of

950
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 13: the game in Chicago, as the Steelers turned the ball

951
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 13: over two times and were stopped on fourth down once,

952
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 13: and in all instances the Bears offense went on to

953
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 13: capitalize with touchdowns. It was a big afternoon for Bears

954

Speaker 13: quarterback Caleb Williams for two hundred and thirty nine yards

955
