Good morning, buddy, thanks for getting 18 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 6: up early after pulling a late one last night. 19 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 5: And so it's any one of my friend and I'll 20 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 5: tell you what it was. You know it was. It 21 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 5: was not the result we wanted. 22 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 4: It was great atmosphere in Cincinnati, exciting game and smart 23 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 4: play by T Higgins at the end and they just 24 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 4: couldn't find a way to stop. 25 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase said he would have done the same thing there. 26 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 6: They must have been coached up on that, and it 27 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 6: seemed to a lot of Steeler fans last night that 28 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 6: the coaching came into play, because that was a defense 29 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 6: that did not look like it was coached up on 30 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 6: its details. It's one thing to get beaten on the 31 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 6: defensive line. The way they did that, you can kind 32 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 6: of chalk up to effort, I think, and lack thereof, 33 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 6: and Cam Hayward certainly was accountable for that after the game. 34 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 6: But the in past coverage, the confusion that was going on, 35 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 6: particularly in the interior, was rampant, and it went all 36 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 6: the way to the end of the game when Jamar 37 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 6: Chase ran free across the middle of the field when 38 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 6: all the Bengals needed was a field goal, and we 39 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 6: still couldn't cover the guy who, like put anybody on, 40 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 6: the guy who'd been killing them the whole game. 41 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 7: This twenty third target. 42 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 5: That's amazing, I mean just incredible. 43 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 4: I think he wound up with half the target chair 44 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 4: just under one under forty seven pass attempts, twenty three targets. 45 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 4: That's incredible. They just could not find a way to 46 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 4: stop him. They couldn't, you know, they couldn't find a 47 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 4: way to disrupt Joe Flacco. 48 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 5: You know. 49 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 4: And here's the problem, Like, you know, you get these 50 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 4: corners and you want to be able to play some 51 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 4: pressman coverage and all that. But the pressman coverage doesn't 52 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 4: last forever, right, I mean, you still have to get 53 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 4: pressure on the quarterback. I think for me, I thought 54 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 4: that the biggest surprise of the game because Flacco. 55 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 5: If you watch video, Flacco looked. 56 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 4: Better in the second half of the Bengals game against 57 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 4: the Packers. He actually looked better than the first half too. 58 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 4: They were victimized by a ton of drops in those games. 59 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 4: Josevash got a little bit of a Bronx cheer for 60 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 4: actually catching a ball. I think he dropped like four 61 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 4: in a row, three against Green Bay, the first one 62 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 4: last night, and even on the first driver or two. Guys, 63 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 4: you know when you look, you know, was talking about 64 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 4: this with Maxter in the commercial break. 65 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 5: Their drops killed them there. 66 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you know, if you're watching from 67 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 4: the Steelers' perspective, you're thinking, hey man, when it was 68 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 4: ten to nothing, it should be seventeen nothing and we 69 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 4: should be on the verge of blowing them out. If 70 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 4: you're looking at it from the Bengals perspective, you're thinking 71 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 4: when we had two drives stalled because of self inflicted damage, 72 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 4: so you know, the Green Bay kind of had its way. 73 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 4: But to me, the biggest surprise for me was upfront. 74 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 4: I mean, this was a team that came in incapable 75 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 4: of running the football, and you know, they ran the 76 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: football at will and they were able to protect Joe Flacco. 77 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 4: And I didn't think either one of those things was 78 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 4: gonna happen to the level what happened. 79 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 5: I you know, I. 80 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 4: Thought Flacco, I think with the phrase I used, I 81 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 4: thought he gave him a puncher's chance of winning and 82 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 4: getting that offense rolling again. 83 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 5: Uh. 84 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 4: But but the other stuff, not being able to stop 85 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 4: the run, not being able to get enough pressure on them, 86 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 4: that really surprised me. 87 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 88 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 6: I thought offensively that the Steelers made a mistake by 89 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 6: not being more methodical to begin in the game and 90 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 6: establishing establishing the run because Jalen Warren was railing off 91 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 6: seven point eight I think per attempt in the first half, 92 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 6: and if you stay with that, eat up the clock. 93 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 6: It just wear them down a little bit, keep the 94 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 6: offense off the field, set the tone a little bit. 95 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 6: I'm not sure why they went so aggressive right away, 96 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 6: but you know, but for his mistake on the flea flicker, 97 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 6: Jealen Warren was an absolute just nightmare for that Bengals 98 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 6: defense all night. 99 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, he they were just blowing holes through 100 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 4: the Bengals defense, just blowing holes through it. 101 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 5: It's not a very good Bengals defense. 102 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 4: Now, having said that, you know, I think it'll at 103 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 4: least bear watching. I mean, Al Golden's a new coordinating 104 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 4: I'm just talking about big picture here for the Bengals. 105 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 4: You know, they have a lot of high draft choices. 106 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: They put that game without Trey Hendrickson. You know, they 107 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 4: They've got a lot of pedigree on that defense in 108 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 4: terms of draft picks. 109 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 5: They just don't have performance. 110 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 4: And you know, they've got a third round pick that 111 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 4: they're at defensive tackle from last year that they're just 112 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: not playing. So Al Golden's taking over that defense. He 113 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: benched Cam Taylor Britt that's a second round pick corner. 114 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 6: You just benched him. He had had him at like 115 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 6: ten twelve snaps. 116 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, he is no longer the starting linebacker and no 117 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 4: longer going to get the snaps. So it'll be interesting 118 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 4: to see if that Bengals defense improves and if it 119 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: does more to the shame that you didn't win this 120 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 4: game because you were gashing that defense. You know, there 121 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 4: was nothing that defense could do to stop you, and 122 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 4: and so it was, you know, it was it was 123 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: unfortunate that it wound up. 124 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 5: I did not think. 125 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 4: I mean, I could see the Bengals being better offensively, 126 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 4: but I could not see I could not see what 127 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 4: was going on. You know, I didn't see that extent 128 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 4: of what the Bengals were able to do to the 129 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 4: Steelers defense. 130 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 8: Rob I mean, I'm looking for silver and I think 131 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 8: one of them is that they rediscovered Pat Fryarmouth. Uh, 132 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 8: they found him. It's when you have four touchdowns from 133 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 8: your tight ends that seems to be an Artie Smith special. 134 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 8: That the offense for the most part, looked like it's 135 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 8: supposed to. Uh, you got one thousand plus pounds of 136 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 8: beef on the left side and you're gonna run the ball, 137 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 8: You're gonna bludgeon people, and when you get down into 138 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 8: the red zone, you got four more than capable tight ends. 139 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, you do. And I think that Bill. 140 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 4: I think I've said this before, but I really believe 141 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 4: that this is just going to be a matchup specific offense. 142 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: You know, where's Pat Fryermuth. Well, you know, when you 143 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 4: need him, he'll be there. There'll be games in which, 144 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 4: you know, you might have to spread it out more, 145 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 4: and so that'll be more Johnny Smith, more Friarmoth. We 146 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 4: don't see a lot of three wide receivers in the Steelers. 147 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 4: You might see more of that in a given game. 148 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 4: The you know, the jumbo package is certain working, so 149 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 4: there's no reason to go away from it right now, 150 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 4: you know. And and again with the offensive line, I 151 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 4: think some of the jumbo package allows the offense to 152 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 4: line the ability to mature. We've talked about this that 153 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 4: you have two new starters of tackle. Broderick Jones is 154 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 4: is really a first time starter at that critical left 155 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 4: tackle position. And now this is the third time in 156 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 4: the last four games in which Aaron Rodgers hasn't been sacked. 157 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 5: Now, some of that's Rogers and. 158 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 3: Getting a couple of times. 159 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know what, sure, But first of all, 160 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 4: how about the mobility by Rock. 161 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: He must have put a spring in there or something 162 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 3: cutt for his surgeon. 163 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, he was, uh, you know. 164 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 4: Unfortunately the two interceptions, the one you know, trying to 165 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 4: get it to DK metcalf deep. 166 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 5: That was that was a bit of a force. You know, 167 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 5: when when the ball left. 168 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: His hand, DK was really in no position to have 169 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 4: an opportunity to make the play. 170 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 6: I mean, Mike thought that that was an okay decision, 171 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 6: but a bad execution, and I agree with you. 172 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: I don't think that ball should have been thrown. 173 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, when I left his hand, I looked up because he. 174 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 4: Knew where he was going, and you know, the the receive, 175 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 4: the cornerback was already well deeper. 176 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 5: Now. 177 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 4: You know the old the old cornerback receiver line that 178 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 4: I heard many years ago was if we're even, I'm leaving, right, 179 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 4: if you're the wide receiver, right, if. 180 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 5: We're even, I'm gonna blow by you and go catch 181 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 5: the ball. If we're even, I'm leaving. 182 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 4: He wasn't even, and he was like, maybe you know, 183 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 4: the defensive back look, he had a three yard cushion, 184 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 4: So I didn't. I didn't think that was the best decision. 185 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 4: But you know, the the other interception, that's just an 186 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 4: incredible play by DJ Turner. I have no problem with 187 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: that throw, no problem with the effort by DK Metcalf. 188 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 4: How DJ Turner came down with that ball, I still 189 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 4: don't know and got the on the excuse, right. 190 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 8: I mean to get hit though it was bang bang 191 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 8: play between two defenders. 192 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 7: I don't know. I'm with Rob on this. 193 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 4: The second interception, Yeah, yeah, I don't I don't know 194 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 4: how DJ Turner comes away with that. That's just a 195 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: great and sometimes the other guy makes a great play 196 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 4: and then you know, around that, Aaron Rodgers was spectacular again. 197 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 5: I mean, I look, this is a tough loss. 198 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: This is a bitter pill to swallow for a lot 199 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 4: of people, if you want to look, if if you wondered, 200 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 4: you know, I was talking to some people from Cincinnati 201 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 4: and you know, before the game and saying, hey, you know, 202 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 4: what do your guys take on this Steelers? 203 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 5: Because nationally there's not. 204 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 4: A lot a lot of love, and of course some 205 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 4: of that love is gonna leak out after last night's loss, 206 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 4: and I think I think a lot of it because 207 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 4: I'm I've been surprised, as I think I've said in 208 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 4: these airways that that people, you know, don't think the 209 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 4: Steelers are gonna have a good season, and you know 210 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 4: this is coming on the heels of a loss obviously, 211 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 4: But I think one of them was that, I don't 212 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 4: know if a lot of people thought Aaron Rodgers still 213 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 4: a lot left in the tank. Well we have seen 214 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 4: plenty of evidence that he has a lot left in 215 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 4: the tank. And by the way, that last throw had 216 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 4: to go seventy yards in the air. 217 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 5: Sixty five seventy yards in the air. 218 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 4: I mean, he's and you know that's not you know, 219 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 4: it's not like he had all day to step up 220 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 4: and he had to kind of get rid of it 221 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 4: before he got he got hit. 222 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 5: So the yard around there, Yeah, the. 223 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 4: Athleticism, I mean, there's a lot to like about as 224 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 4: far as as far as I'm consure with Aaron Rodgers, 225 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 4: there's there's nothing to dislike. 226 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 5: There's just there's just stuff to like. 227 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 6: It looked like DK was supposed to be the underneath 228 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 6: guy there, which I don't know. I would have had 229 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 6: him down, you know, coming back at the ball. But 230 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 6: if he's two steps forward, I mean he's actually got 231 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 6: a shot at that. 232 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 5: Yeah. 233 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, well that notwithstanding look that was all set up 234 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 6: because t Higgins made that brilliant play and slid and 235 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 6: they ate up the clock. It seemed like there was 236 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 6: a chess mass match going on there between coaches Friarmouth. 237 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 6: I don't know that you know, you want him to 238 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 6: not score there, but that's sixty eight yard touchdown. If 239 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 6: they can somehow, you know, make that happen five plays later, 240 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 6: maybe it helps them out considerably. You know, they're kind 241 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 6: of a victim of scoring too quick. And I was 242 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 6: jokingly saying, but only half. So let the Bengals score. 243 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 6: Just let them take it and get the ball back. 244 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I mean, you know you can't not. 245 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 4: Score there, right, especially because you needed a touchdown, right exactly. 246 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 4: I mean the Bengals just needed a field goal. That 247 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 4: was a really really heads up play by t. 248 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 5: Higgins. I mean, just to. 249 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: Just to smart play, and you've just gotten to stop. Finally, 250 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 4: they'd scored on was it seven straight possessions that they 251 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 4: scored on before the students got that stop late in 252 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 4: the game and got the ball back and then scored 253 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 4: the very quick touchdown. So you know you're hoping, hey, 254 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 4: is there one more stop in here? Do we have 255 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 4: one more stop? And of course the answer was no, 256 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 4: they didn't have one more stop. I mean they only 257 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 4: really you know, they had the two early stops and 258 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 4: seven straight possessions of the score. I think it was 259 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 4: and then and then that you couldn't come up with 260 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 4: a stop when you needed to. And look, that's uh, 261 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 4: you know, I understand the defense is tired, but that's 262 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 4: the stop you want, you know, when you've got it, 263 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 4: when you've got a defense it's playing as well as 264 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 4: the Steelers defense has been playing. You know, that's the 265 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: one more stop you need to get out of there 266 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 4: with kind of a it would have felt like you 267 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 4: stole a win there, but you know, that's where you're 268 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 4: hoping to get that stop from that defense, and it 269 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 4: didn't happen. 270 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 6: With that in mind, should Tom have gone forward fourth 271 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 6: and four late in the fourth, well, I. 272 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 4: Believe the sequence event events was they punted, they got 273 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 4: the stop, and then they scored. 274 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 5: So I mean I understood that. 275 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 6: If they score, if they go and they score there, 276 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 6: maybe the time works out so they get the ball last. 277 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 4: Yeah, they scored so fast. I mean maybe they scored 278 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 4: so fast, and you know, I think that if look, 279 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 4: you know, I I think about this a lot for me. 280 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 4: It's very very difficult, uh to to you know, criticize 281 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 4: your critique play, right, because I don't know what they're thinking. 282 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 4: So the flea flicker, you know, you're you're rolling along 283 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 4: in the first half. 284 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 6: Why throw a trick play in there, even even if 285 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 6: it's called off? Why did it come in in the 286 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 6: first place? 287 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 5: Right? So you're right, that's that's one order of thinking. Now. 288 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 4: Of course, if it works, you know, and by the way, 289 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 4: if they'd gotten it to John new Smith, there was 290 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 4: nobody I think it was intended for John who there 291 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 4: was nobody on that side of. 292 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 5: The field, I mean nobody, right, So you know, you 293 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 5: script your plays. 294 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 4: I don't know if that's I don't know how much 295 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 4: Arthur Smith scripts plays, and I don't know whether that 296 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 4: would have been in that scripted play sort of area 297 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 4: where teams are probably the other team's defense. You could, 298 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 4: you know, you so you can say, oh, they you know, 299 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 4: we should have done this, shouldn't have done that. 300 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 5: I'm sure that right now they're thinking. 301 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 4: I mean, I I don't know what Aaron Rodgers was 302 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 4: talking to Jalen Warren about. I don't know why the 303 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 4: timing of that play was off. I couldn't hear the audio. 304 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 4: And again, as I've said many times before, I don't 305 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 4: have the the the luxury of watching replays as much 306 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 4: as I do when I'm at home on a couch. 307 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 4: So I don't know what the conversation was. I don't 308 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 4: know why the timing was off. 309 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 3: What the eff are you're doing? Was the conversation? 310 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know why, but I don't know why him. 311 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 7: What in the f he was doing? 312 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 5: Was it? Was it too late? Did he did he 313 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 5: throw it back to him too quickly? 314 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 7: I don't know. 315 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 8: Aaron Rodgers called off the checked out of that that call, 316 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 8: and everybody got that message, except apparently. 317 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 4: I did not realize that. Oh I So I literally 318 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 4: had no idea until right now that that's what happened. Yeah, okay, 319 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 4: So so you checked out of it. Uh, That's why I. 320 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 6: Was surprised when you said Johnny was wide open. I'm like, well, geez, 321 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 6: why would you have checked out of it? 322 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 5: Oh? 323 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean well, I would say this because 324 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 4: there were receivers flooding to the left side of the 325 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 4: field and there was nobody on the right. 326 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 5: Side of the field. So if if, if there if, if. 327 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 4: Whatever, that bust, had play had gotten to Johnny or Darnell, 328 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 4: they're both standing there. There was nobody on that on 329 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 4: the right defensive side, uh, the left for the Bengals, 330 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 4: right for the Steelers. 331 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 5: But but going back to play. 332 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 4: Calling, right, you know, if you're gonna, if you were, 333 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 4: if you're mindset is go for it. This is what 334 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 4: I always think about those third downs on those third 335 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 4: and four. If your mindset is go for it, do 336 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 4: you want to run it there on third down right 337 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 4: and get to fourth and one? 338 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 5: Maybe? But do you? But then again, maybe you. 339 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 4: Did call that, and maybe Aaron Rodgers saw something he 340 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 4: liked and check out it. That's why you know when 341 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 4: you when you so, I like right now, I didn't. 342 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: I didn't know that he checked out of that play. 343 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 4: So I don't know what what Aaron Rodgers did on 344 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 4: third and four, you know, And I understand people critiquing that. 345 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 4: That's what fans do, and that's the kind of thing. 346 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 5: I think. 347 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 4: That's the sort of situation where a fan can say, hey, 348 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 4: I should. 349 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 5: Go for it, even on fourth and four. 350 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 4: I totally get that that mentality. I think it was 351 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 4: a bit of a coin flip, but it wound up 352 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 4: you know, being the right call at the right time, 353 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 4: you know, because the stealers did get the ball back. 354 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 4: If they don't get the ball back, that's all we're 355 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 4: talking about right now. 356 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 5: But they got the ball back. 357 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 6: Why do you think Herbig had so few snaps last night, 358 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 6: twenty eight out of seventy two defensive snaps. 359 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 4: I don't know, no idea, you know, they were they 360 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 4: were shuffling a lot of personnel in and out one. 361 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 4: I think the defense got gassed, and I don't know 362 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 4: why he wasn't out there more. 363 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 3: I don't Blaco was getting rid of the ball super quick. 364 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 6: That might have been part of it is that high 365 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 6: Smith has a bigger reach, And I mean, if you're. 366 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 7: Trying to stop the run all of a sudden, that's 367 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 7: a problem. 368 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, right, yeah. 369 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 4: It felt like you know, and I would have to 370 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 4: go back and watch this, you know, I kept looking 371 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 4: up and seeing even in the middle of the field, 372 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 4: there is the game war on, you know, defensive backs 373 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 4: going in for defensive tackles, and defensive tackles going in 374 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 4: for defensive backs. You know, not, Hey, this guy's gassed, 375 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 4: so we're gonna bring a tackle in for another tackle. 376 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 4: Although I'm sure there were some of that too, So 377 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 4: I just think it was, you know, constantly trying to 378 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 4: figure out what the Bengals were doing and uh and 379 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 4: you know they they couldn't do it, and they you know, 380 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 4: it's a Bengals offense that they came in last in 381 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 4: the NFL and rushing last. I'm dead last. I mean 382 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 4: they were and it wasn't even close. I mean they were, 383 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 4: you know, twenty they had sixty five yards rushing. They're 384 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 4: twenty yards behind the next closest team way back. And 385 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 4: you know the fact that they were able to run 386 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 4: the ball. You know, we did the matchup show and 387 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 4: my key was to not allow Chase Brown to beat 388 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 4: you just take that off the table, right. 389 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 5: I mean, look, everyone's talking about. 390 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 4: Chase and I get that, and he and Higgins were great, 391 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 4: and that's why they have That's why those guys are 392 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 4: getting paid that amount of money. That's why you went 393 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 4: out and got Flacco right to unlock those guys. But 394 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 4: when you add the Chase Brown element on top of it, 395 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 4: you're you know, that's what that's the offense the Bengals envision. 396 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 5: That's not the defense of Steelers envision. 397 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 6: Rob King voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers on the Steelers 398 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 6: Audio Network.

I want to 423 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 9: talk about Aaron Rodgers this hour, but before I do, 424 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 9: I was in the other office cutting some tape, and 425 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 9: I heard Rob King and Bill Crawford exonerating DK Metcalf 426 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 9: on an alleged great play by a miniature defensive back. 427 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 3: And I would only counter. 428 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 9: With DK Metcalf's assessment of what transpired on that particular 429 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 9: play in last night's thirty three thirty one Bengals victory 430 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 9: over the Steelers. 431 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 3: And I, quote, I got a hold onto the f 432 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 3: and ball. 433 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 7: End quote. 434 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 9: I love the accountability, I love the accuracy. He's got 435 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 9: a hold on into the F and ball. That was 436 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 9: a big one. 437 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 6: And as you pointed out, you know when you, Mike, 438 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 6: you sort of set it up to illustrate how many 439 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 6: points they left on the field. 440 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 9: H And I don't even go like they went into 441 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 9: that game last night had not given up a point 442 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 9: off the turnover. When you turn the ball over at 443 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 9: the other team's twenty yard line and they drived out 444 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 9: of score. I don't consider that a point off the turno, right, 445 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 9: consider that a point off the defense. But it's what 446 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 9: they left on the field, and particularly at the time 447 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 9: they did it, when they had a great start and 448 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 9: they were dominating early, and Kirk kurb Street is telling 449 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 9: the national audience Cincinnati pass rushes not existed. That's when 450 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 9: you strike, and that's when you put them away early. 451 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 5: Oh. 452 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 6: I think we all thought watching that game, the first 453 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 6: even the two drive, even after the botched flea flicker. Again, 454 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 6: I don't know why that play is even called there, 455 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 6: But even after that, you're like, well, these guys aren't 456 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 6: going to stop us, and they're just playing with their food, 457 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 6: and they should stop because, you know, let's let's put 458 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 6: the pedal down now. And then it was too late 459 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 6: because it started to turn into a shutout or a 460 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 6: shootout rather and they were on the wrong side of it. 461 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 3: They were trying to make up in Chase mode. 462 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, and the Bengals were unfortunately in Chase mode as well. 463 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 5: Yeah. 464 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 7: Chase Brown and Jamar Jamar were wide open. 465 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 9: Yeah, a lot of problem was obviously the conspired to 466 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 9: what should forever be remembered as the disaster in Cincinnati. 467 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 9: But Aaron Rodgers, while imperfect, still managed to shine to 468 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 9: the degree that he called what could have been the 469 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 9: game winning touchdown pass to Pat Fryarmuth at halftime. 470 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 10: Well, I mean on that one, I'd actually told him 471 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 10: on the sidelines. Hey, No, I told him at halftime. 472 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 10: I said, if we come back and I call this play, 473 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 10: be ready because I saw something on the one of 474 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 10: one of the pictures on the sideline in the first half. 475 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 10: So at halftime I pulled him aside and I don't 476 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 10: think it'd be third and eighteen from the nineteenth, but 477 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 10: they clouded pretty hard to decay and Pat did a 478 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 10: nice shout down the middle, and it's really the same 479 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 10: play on the second touchdown. 480 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 5: Rob. 481 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 6: One of the positives last night of the silver linings 482 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 6: of the loss was the re emergence of friar Mouth, 483 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 6: And you know, credit to Rum and Wilson, a couple 484 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 6: of tough catches there came up big when they needed to, 485 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 6: but in particular friar Mouth, without Austin being there, they 486 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 6: had to get something out of him. 487 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, unless they just kept running the ball and then 488 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 4: they wouldn't have had to. Yeah, I like, yeah, I really, 489 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 4: I just keep I know I'm beating this drum, but 490 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 4: I keep going back to this. I just think it's 491 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 4: gonna be matchup oriented, you know, And I understand people saying, hey, 492 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 4: we need another uh number two receiver, and they may 493 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 4: go out and get that. They may go out and 494 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 4: make another trade before the trade deadline and maybe another position. 495 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 4: I don't know, but I just think that they were 496 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 4: you know, as long as everybody stays healthy, they've got 497 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 4: another they've got a number one receiver, and they've got 498 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 4: plenty of different targets. If we go heavy, maybe Darnell Washington. 499 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 4: I would be surprised if Spencer Anderson as a catch 500 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 4: in here somewhere too. By the way, they have to. 501 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 4: I just think it's gonna be. I think it's gonna be, 502 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 4: you know, a by committee. And hey, this week you're 503 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 4: the guy, Pat Fryermuth, you're the guy we love the matchups. 504 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 4: Next week it might be John hus Smith. I just 505 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 4: think that's the way it's gonna be. 506 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 8: And why can't you do what the Bengals did last 507 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 8: night when you have a guy like DK, why can't 508 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 8: you throw it to him twenty three times? 509 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 7: He's not that kind of receivers. 510 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 8: He's like Jamar Chases is the ab type where the 511 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 8: route running just gets him open more often. 512 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 6: Well, but like what ro was saying, though they're cloud 513 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 6: and DK, you know you can't do that to Jamar 514 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 6: because then you have Higgins like they don't have that 515 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 6: without Austin there, there's nobody else to worry about. 516 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 9: Well, no, but that's the point that the Friarmuth played 517 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 9: when he said they're clouding DK. Hertstreet called that a 518 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 9: blown coverage on TV. I didn't think it was. Gino 519 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 9: Stone was the safety on that hash and he went 520 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 9: to Metcalf running a streak down the sideline. They were 521 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 9: doubling Metcalf at that point, so Friarmuth was the single 522 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 9: coverage and Rogers hit him and it was a home 523 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 9: run touchdown that could have won the game. I think 524 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 9: they need more receiver, but whether they get it or 525 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 9: they don't, they have enough eligibles and they have the 526 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 9: quarterback who will find the guy who needs to get 527 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 9: the ball way More often than not, they have a 528 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 9: golden opportunity with Rogers to really be something this year 529 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 9: besides nine and eight, one and done. But the rest 530 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 9: of the guys got to hold up their end. They 531 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 9: got to stop letting them down like they did last night. 532 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 9: Jalen Warrens got to get the call on the non 533 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 9: flea flicker and Rogers confirmed that. He said, quote, it 534 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 9: wasn't supposed to be a flea flicker. Tomlin said it 535 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 9: was called, and then Rogers said it wasn't supposed to 536 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 9: be a flea flicker, which are not contradictory statements. It 537 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 9: was called, and then Rogers decided, no, we're not doing this, 538 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 9: and ten guys got it and one guy didn't. These 539 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 9: are the kind of things that kill you in a 540 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 9: big game. You just can't have this stuff. The Seattle 541 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 9: game when Jackson Smith the Jigma beats Jalen Ramsey at 542 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 9: a critical moment and the coverage is tight and he 543 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 9: makes a great catch. Okay, hats off to him. Some 544 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 9: of the plays Chase made last night, hats off to him. 545 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 9: But you can't help them. You can't help and they 546 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 9: helped them too much. But the reason if you're a 547 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 9: Steelers fan and you're wondering, why should I continue to 548 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 9: be in about this. The reason is Rogers, that's the 549 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 9: hard part. They haven't had a quarterback since pre Ben injury. 550 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 9: They have one, now fix the rest of it. 551 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 5: Yeah. 552 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 4: I said the same thing Mike in the last segment 553 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 4: that you know, talking to people in Cincinnati and asking 554 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 4: them why they thought, you know, the Steelers weren't predicted 555 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 4: for more wins, and they said, you know, I think 556 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 4: largely they were kind of thinking the same thing nine 557 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 4: and eight, ten and seven, you know, that sort of team. 558 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 4: But they they they were unsure about Rogers. Well, I 559 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 4: don't know how you could watch Rogers last night and 560 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 4: be unsure about them. 561 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 5: I have watched them all season. I mean the mobility, 562 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 5: the arm strength. 563 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 9: Even the hail Mary at the end. He got it 564 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 9: to the end zone from seventy yards away. That's right, 565 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 9: My god, they got a chance there like this guy, 566 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 9: you got a shot here, don't yeap? 567 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 3: Next year, we don't know right now. 568 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 9: Is what they have tangible and if they waste this, 569 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 9: shame on them. Yeah, Cause again, finding the quarterback is 570 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 9: the really hard part, as we all know in Pittsburgh. 571 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 5: And I know you say the offense let you down. 572 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 5: I know you have to. 573 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 4: You have to win the game in front of you, right, 574 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 4: you have to find a way to win that game. 575 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 4: And if that means you win it three to two, 576 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 4: you win it three to two. If it means you 577 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 4: win it one hundred to ninety nine, you win it 578 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 4: one hundred and ninety nine. But you score thirty one points, 579 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 4: you should win. Not against them, not against them. No, 580 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 4: I mean that's right. You have to play the game 581 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 4: in front of you. But you know, you needed some 582 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 4: stops on defense. And what is it seven straight possessions? 583 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 9: I think this or you know one at the end, 584 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 9: like they saved They saved the Jets game, which was slappy, 585 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 9: but they won because the defense got to stop. They 586 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 9: saved the New England game because they got to stop. 587 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 9: They saved the Minnesota game, got close to them, but 588 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 9: they got to stop. 589 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 7: Last night, they didn't get to stop. They lose. 590 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 6: YEP, Rob King with us a power hour of Steeler Talk, 591 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 6: and this half hour of Steeler Talk brought you by 592 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 6: Clearview Federal Credit Union.

You have 644 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 12: the worst offense in the league. Your GM screwed this 645 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 12: quarterback thing up like I've never seen in my life. 646 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 12: I've never seen anything like kids to play. Madden could 647 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 12: have done a better job. 648 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 3: Truly. 649 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 12: That's not hyperbole. It's a joke. It's a joke. This 650 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 12: franchise has become a joke. I mean, it's crazy. 651 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 7: They've been a joke. 652 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 8: But just in the year, in the off season that 653 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 8: they wanted to take themselves out of the headlines pertaining 654 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 8: to quarterbacks, they have bungled it and brownsed it in 655 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 8: a way that they've never done before. 656 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 6: And they might have Deshaun Watson playing quarterback before Shador 657 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 6: Sanders before it's all said and done, because importedly he 658 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 6: is on the end here. 659 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 9: And you might have Baker Mayfield as your MVP, and 660 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 9: Joe Fleco is your comeback player of the. 661 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 13: Yearlievable, all right, But yeah, one of these guys, Gabriel 662 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 13: or Sanders looks like the one they're gonna be back 663 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 13: at the trough next year. 664 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 7: Picking a quarterback? What's the uh? 665 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 6: What is the biggest challenge for Mike Tomlin in these 666 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 6: ten days in terms of what do you fix? 667 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 3: First? 668 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 4: Rob King, Oh, I don't know. I mean, I you know, 669 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 4: every game is different. Like Mike just said about, you know, 670 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 4: spreading the wealth offensively, I think every game is gonna 671 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 4: be different. 672 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 5: It's a good way of putting it. 673 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 4: There's not gonna be a fantasy superstar on this team, 674 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 4: probably nobody that's going to carry your fantasy team to 675 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 4: a title, because they're gonna spread it out. And I 676 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 4: think defensively, it's just the next challenge. You know, this 677 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 4: defense had been trending so well. But again, you know, 678 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 4: you have to point out this is what Cincinnati is 679 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 4: supposed to look like. This is why they have all 680 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 4: that money into Chase and into Higgins. They've got Chase 681 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 4: brown They're always going to have an opportunity to put 682 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 4: up points like this against an opponent always. 683 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 5: Now that they have a quarterback that the controls. Chase Browning. 684 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 4: Again we said it before, he is just he just 685 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 4: really really Jake Browning, really really combining. 686 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 5: Jake Browning really struggling. 687 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 4: He struggles, and you know, so I think that it's 688 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 4: just weak to week, it's a different it's gonna be 689 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 4: a different challenge with Green Bay. They're really good, They've 690 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 4: got a power running game with Jacobs. I think Jacobs 691 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 4: is an outstanding running back, really good quarterback, playing really 692 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 4: well at defense. It's improved with Michael Parsons. So it's 693 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 4: you know, different weeks, different challenges. 694 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 5: Team in the lay. 695 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's stopped the damn run. It's really object number one. 696 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 8: If you ask anybody on the defense, especially Cam Ayward. 697 00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 7: That's it. 698 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 3: He's not wrong wrong. 699 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 9: We got time from one more air Rodgers clip because 700 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 9: I wanted to hit this during sports. We didn't get 701 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 9: to it. But uh, just a couple of details. When 702 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 9: Rogers said it wasn't supposed to be a fleet flicker, he. 703 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 3: Did not say anything else. 704 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 9: He didn't throw Jyalen Warren under the bus, so to speak, 705 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 9: by pointing out the accurate mistake that was made regarding 706 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 9: regarding his interception. H not the one that on which 707 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 9: DK metcalf has to hold onto the f and ball, 708 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 9: the other one. He said, quote, I was just kind 709 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 9: of throwing to a spot. I got to go back 710 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 9: and look at it. I think he threw to the 711 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 9: wrong spot. But definitely summing up, you know, the opportunity 712 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 9: that was lost last night could have had a four 713 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 9: game leading to lost calumn on, every team in the 714 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 9: division could have been undefeated still in the conference, could 715 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 9: have been undefeated in the North. 716 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 5: Uh. 717 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 9: Rogers well aware of everything that was lost besides a 718 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 9: game last night, but he also assessed where they are 719 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 9: in the aftermath with the perspective of a forty one 720 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 9: year old twenty one year vet. 721 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 10: Well, I think you got to realize, listen, we want 722 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 10: to win every game. There needs to be an expectation 723 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,719 Speaker 10: of winning. But uh, this is a short week division opponent. 724 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 10: Anything that happened, obviously, Joe played really well for them, 725 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 10: and and Chase and t got going for him. But 726 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 10: this is the NFL. You know, we had a chance 727 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 10: to really open up some space. But with four and 728 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 10: two still first in the division, got a couple you know, 729 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 10: home games coming up back to back, another Sunday night 730 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 10: opportunity against my former team. So I'm not going to 731 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 10: ride the roller coaster, and I know Mike isn't and 732 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 10: hopefully you guys follow suit. 733 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 9: Got to shake it off and be better. But you know, 734 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 9: you can't wallow. And I love how I mentioned my 735 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 9: former team because I think he's going to downplay a 736 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 9: little bit the Green Bay matchups. That's a big deal 737 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 9: as next week progresses. But it's got to be a 738 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 9: huge deal and good. Maybe that's what they need, you know, 739 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 9: rally around Aaron Rodgers beat the Packers for Aaron Rodgers. 740 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 6: That wraps up a power hour of Steeler Talk with 741 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,720 Speaker 6: Rob King, Voice of the Steelers on the Steelers Audio Network, 742 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 6: brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store and Clearview 743 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 6: Federal Credit Union. Also thanks the guy Junker for joining 744 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 6: us earlier this morning. Thursday Night football finishes with thirty 745 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 6: three thirty one Final. The Bengals best Mike Tomlin again 746 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 6: on a Thursday night. No blame on a third You 747 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 6: think that's all circumstantial. Circumstances are a factor. It's hard 748 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 6: for the road team on Thursday night. That's just math. 749 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 6: It makes sense. Also, I want to blame him. Let 750 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 6: me say that it all looks the same and it's 751 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 6: the exact same defense, and everybody knows exactly what's coming 752 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 6: every time. Jamar Chase said it after the game, we 753 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 6: knew everything that they were going to do, and they 754 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 6: did it just like we thought they would. 755 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 9: I don't think he knew what they were going to do. 756 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 9: Meeting the Bengals well, Placo. 757 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 7: Didn't know what they were gonna do, and it didn't matter. 758 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 9: Ask you guys this before we get out of here. 759 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 9: If that was Joe Burrow playing last night, it was 760 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 9: exact same game. Would you feel different about it? 761 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, a little bit. I'd still be frustrated. 762 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 9: You didn't buy the Flacco could activate these guys going 763 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 9: in right. 764 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 7: No, not like that. 765 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 10: No. 766 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 6: I thought he would have to settle into it. I 767 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 6: mean it took him a half maybe to get into it. 768 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 6: Rob you alluded this earlier in Green Bay. But good, 769 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 6: it literally only took him a two series and he 770 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 6: was in full Flacco. He went full flighting to never 771 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 6: go full Flaco if he went full Flaco. 772 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, just you know, just real quick look around the NFL, right, 773 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 4: you know, you think Detroit's a super team. They get 774 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 4: waxed by the Chiefs. I saw the power rankings. One 775 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 4: of them had the Bills third, another had him fifteenth. 776 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 5: You could really throw it. 777 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,280 Speaker 4: You can seriously throw a net over one through twenty 778 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 4: and twenty, and the power rankings for all of them 779 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 4: is Houston. I wouldn't be shocked if Houston makes a 780 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 4: deep run into the playoffs. I just think I can't 781 00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 4: remember a year that it's been this balanced. Know, it's 782 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 4: been a long time since they didn't have an unbeaten 783 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 4: team uh later in the season than they did this year. 784 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 4: It's just a it is just a balanced league right now. 785 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 4: And I you know, I think, like like you said, 786 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 4: it's just week to week and move on to Green 787 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 4: Bay and let's go. 788 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 3: Thanks Cager, appreciate you. 789 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 6: All right, you guys, Rochelle is coming up with the 790 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 6: Electric Lunch at noon.
