1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Nah back looking at Gabriel is going to be taken down.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: There's a flag on the play, but it looks like

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: this is going to be against the Browns. I don't

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: know which of the four Steelers laying on top of

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: Gabriel is going to get credit for this sack.

6
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a little party on top of a quarterback.

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: And characterization Rob King, voice of the Steelers with us

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: for a power hour of Steeler talk here and six

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: sacks for the Steelers defense they were suffocating all day.

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: Deli Gabriel back to pass well fifty eight times with

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: six sacks.

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: That is just a bunch of urries. I wrote it

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: down here somewhere how many hurries they had? Hurries and sacks.

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: Six tongue hits, yes, yeah, I see it hits that, Yeah,

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 1: it hits not hurries hits yeah, sixteen hits big sacks. Well,

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: the kid took took a little bit of a beating.

18
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: Welcome to the AFC, North Till and Gabriel. Yeah, and

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: I thought he actually held up pretty well. Although the

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: Steelers had about five interceptions they dropped well, what I

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: would say is well they the Browns also had five

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: first downs that they dropped.

23
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: I mean true.

24
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: You know, they dropped a lot of balls for Dylan

25
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: Gabriel yesterday. And what I would say is, if you

26
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: were wondering, like, does Dylan Gabriel look like he has it,

27
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think you can say he

28
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: doesn't have it based on that yesterday. But they did

29
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: not give him a chance to look like he could

30
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: be their next quarterback. The Steelers defense, that is. Yeah,

31
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: And the Steelers defense did a great job on Quinn

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: Shawn Judkins. You know early in the year, they weren't

33
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: stopping to run. Derek Carmon comes back and he's part

34
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: of it. The defense is playing better as part of it.

35
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: All eleven starters being out there for the first time

36
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: is part of it. So we're seeing the Steelers. You know,

37
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: last year, people like, how come they're not blitz anymore?

38
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: They're just lining up in the same spot. Well, I think, again,

39
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: this is just nobody's told me this, but I think

40
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: they just didn't trust their defensive backs so they wanted

41
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: to drop as many guys as they could in coverage. Well,

42
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: this year they're blitzing at a really high level, one

43
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: of the highest rates in the NFL and they are

44
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: getting home and they're stopping to run. They're forcing teams

45
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: to be one dimensional. Judkins is you didn't see it yesterday,

46
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: but he is really good the rookie running back. We

47
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier, Kinger. The oddsmakers had him at

48
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: it like an over under ninety yards. They expected him

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: to make a dent in that. I mean, most people did.

50
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: We talked about it. It's like, just survive it and

51
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: stop the run, keep it manageable. And he did nothing

52
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: against that defensive Well, here's why they expected that.

53
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: Sixty one yards against Baltimore in the averaged six point

54
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: one per carry, ninety four against Green Bay, eighty two

55
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: against Detroit, one hundred and ten against.

56
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: Minnesota against Minnesota at.

57
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: Thirty six yesterday, and the average three point zero per total.

58
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: And that's my point is that for all the people

59
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: who just want to say, like, ah, well, I don't know,

60
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: the question marks are still there for the Steelers because

61
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: that was the Browns. They had an established running game,

62
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: like they it was looking good for them running the ball.

63
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: Steelers completely took it away yesterday.

64
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I you know, Aaron Rodgers said something that I

65
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: I've said quite a bit with Max on our radio show,

66
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: which is, look, December is when you want to be

67
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: playing best, and I totally agree with that. Just win now,

68
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how you win. Just just stack up

69
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: the wins and hope that some of the trends are

70
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction so that you are peaking

71
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: in December. I think the trends for this year there's

72
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: almost across the board are actually I would say across

73
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: the board right, let's go through them. Okay, Proderck Jones

74
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: and that offensive line is where the biggest question works

75
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: were way better. So Max said, you know, talking to Max,

76
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: I defer to him because he's an offensive lineman who

77
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: switched positions on the NFL level. So I said, look,

78
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Broderick Jones has been a right tackle, now he's going

79
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: to left tackle. Troy Foutana was a left tackle in college.

80
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: Now he's going to right tackle.

81
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: How long?

82
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: And do I give fout Tana any grace for being

83
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: a rookie? He said, nope. He said, the adjustment from

84
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: one side to the other takes five to six weeks. Well,

85
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: we're five weeks into the season, and I think we're

86
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: seeing the offensive line being better and you know, I

87
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: don't I don't believe I said in reference to a

88
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: play Miles Garret, Miles Garrett's name once yesterday.

89
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 2: I don't think I said his name once.

90
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that is remarkable. We really thought he was

91
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: going to have a field day out there. Now Rogers

92
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: still getting rid of the ball pretty quick. But there

93
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: were a couple of times, in particular the Connor Hayward touchdown,

94
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: or he had a lot of time and moved around

95
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: and then made a little chicken salad out of you

96
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: know what. Then what a great throw and I mean

97
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: I was just a great throw by Rogers. Let's listen

98
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: to the play by play by the voice of the

99
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers on that one.

100
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: That would be uh rob king play action pass.

101
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: Rolling to his right, looking downfield, looking throws back across

102
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: his body.

103
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: Hit talk in the end zone. What a crap by

104
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: Connor Hayward.

105
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Magnificent grow by Rodgers and Hayward with his first touchdown

106
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: of the season. It's so funny that that was your call,

107
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: because that was exactly what we said in the stands

108
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: in that.

109
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: Order we got to catch What a throw.

110
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, both were sensational, you know, not every diving catch

111
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: or sliding catch is a great catch. That was a

112
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: great catch. I mean he had a bullet. It was

113
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: a bullet, It was low. I don't remember if it

114
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: wobbled a little bit. All those things make it tougher.

115
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: A defender crashing back over the top of them, which

116
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: cuts down your vision a little bit. I was just

117
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: a that was a great catch. And you know, as

118
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: Rogers said after the game, you know Connor Hayward just

119
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: smart player. I mean there are times when Rogers is

120
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: rolling down the field when he wants his receivers to

121
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: do something. They've got to feel it. They've got to

122
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: know what to do. And Connor Hayward knew what to

123
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: do because he's that kind of a player, all right.

124
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: And Aaron Rodgers had time to make that offensive line

125
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: doing their job. We talked about the defensive line also

126
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: stepping up and trending in the right direction.

127
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: What about the inside linebackers?

128
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: Listen, I've never been I haven't been as down on

129
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: them as other guys have been. I mean, Patrick Queen

130
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: made the Pro Bowl last year and I thought he

131
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: was extremely visible. Peyton Wilson is He's all over the field. Now,

132
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: are things going to happen. You know, sure, he is

133
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: not a He is not a you know, meet you

134
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: in the hole, you know, pick you up and drive

135
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: you back into the ground kind of linebacker. He's not

136
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: a big thumper. He's a sidelined to sideline guy. And

137
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: so is Patrick Queen. Which is why your front four

138
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: or front five has to be able to do its job,

139
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: because by doing its job, it allows those guys to

140
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: run and hit guys. And so I think with the

141
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: defensive line being better, that's only gonna make Queen and

142
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: Wilson better. I mean, these guys in Cole Holcomb too.

143
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: I thought Cole Holcomb had some plays yesterday. These guys

144
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: can move. I mean, you want to go wide. I

145
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: mean there was a play I can't remember who had.

146
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: It was going up there was the left side line.

147
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: It was a little pass I think it was a

148
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: pass out in the flat. Might have been a reverse,

149
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: I don't remember now. And it looked like the player

150
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: was gonna the carrier for Cleveland was going to turn

151
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: the edge and he just he just didn't. He was

152
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: stopped that I think they lost a happy yard. I

153
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: thought they were going to gain six, and they lost

154
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: half a yard. So you know the defensive line. It

155
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: all comes together, right, the defensive line does its job,

156
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: then the linebackers are able to do their job, and

157
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: now you get into third and management. You got those

158
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: defensive backs are finally healthy. They're going to get a

159
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: great test this week. Okay, Now we're gonna go man

160
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: to man and we're gonna blitz those linebackers. Remember Patrick

161
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Queen was a guy who got sacks in Baltimore. He

162
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: wasn't getting sacks here. Why because you you didn't feel

163
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: like you could blitz him. Now you got Sleigh Ramsey

164
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: and Porter. You got Deshaun Ellie, you got jan Thornhill,

165
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: let's go you know ecles.

166
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: Okay, after that yesterday, I don't know, and I don't

167
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 2: know about was there anything on Miles Killer?

168
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: But I haven't heard anything significant According to Tomlins significant,

169
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: that was the only one. The rest was bumps and

170
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: bruises associated with the playing of football.

171
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: That's a bummer.

172
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: One other point on those inside backers, I think what

173
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: you've seen in the last two weeks is they're up

174
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 3: closer to the line of scrimmageing gaps, and even when

175
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: they're not blitzing there, they're heavy residents. Yeah, and affecting

176
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: things that way, and then sometimes you can run blitz

177
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 3: from there. Those guys aren't downhill players per se, but

178
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: if you get a little closer to a lot of scrimmage,

179
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: they're already halfway downhill right now. You can Now you

180
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: can shoot a gap and be more disruptive. Yeah, that's

181
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: a good point starting to fall into place.

182
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: And p Q could have folded me because yesterday, in

183
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 4: the last couple of weeks, he's looked like a thumper.

184
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: I mean, Aaron Rodgers joked around with him on the

185
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 4: sideline that asking him if he was trying to knock

186
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 4: himself out.

187
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: I thought he was playing incredibly hard. Yeah, he's he's

188
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: more of a thumper than Peyton is. You know, He's

189
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: just he's a little physically bigger, you know, and he's

190
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a thumper. But you know,

191
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: think about you know, just and you know, I've been

192
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: a little mystified. Look, you have to let these guys grow.

193
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: And our buddy Matt Williamson has said this repeatedly, and

194
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: I really trust his opinion on these kind of things.

195
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: Inside linebacker is now and has been for several years.

196
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: The hardest position for a young player to excel at

197
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: that we that you see all kinds of form first

198
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: round picks. Devin Bush, he's playing much better in Cleveland

199
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: than he played here. It's not because the coaching wasn't

200
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: good enough here, the defense wasn't good enough. It's it

201
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: just takes a while. Now the Swstinger kids, he's he's

202
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: one of these kids. It's excelling the inside linebacker for them.

203
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: But a lot of guys wash out and it takes

204
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: their second team for them to really get a hold

205
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: of the NFL. And that's it's I think it's because

206
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: the league has changed. Smart quarterbacks will look at those

207
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: young players and exploit them. Right Aaron Rodgers is going

208
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: to exploit a young linebacker on the other side. Jalen

209
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: Warren yesterday ended up with fifty two yards rushing. But

210
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: I felt like he had an amazing game. He just

211
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: he he just runs so hard. He on his longest

212
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: run of the game, I think was his longest run

213
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: of the game he had. I think he had a

214
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: ten and maybe a ten and a eleven. He was

215
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: running off the right side. He kind of slithered or slipped.

216
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Aaron Rodgers called him slip. He

217
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: kind of slipped through a defensive tackle and and within

218
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: one step barreled over defensive back that came up and

219
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: then ran for you know, drag guys for another four yards.

220
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I've said this before about Jalen. Uh you know,

221
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: he just it really looks like he dislikes being tackled.

222
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: You know, he just doesn't enjoy it. And that's just

223
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: the way he runs. It doesn't look like it's enjoyable

224
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: to tackle. No, no, no, and and uh, you know talking,

225
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: I was talking to one of the Steelers defensive players.

226
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Remember there was the big thing about Derrick Henry. You know,

227
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: how hard does he run and all this other stuff,

228
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: and that guy said, uh, Jalen Warren, that dude runs hard.

229
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. And so keleb.

230
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: Johnson looked like maybe he took another step forward yesterday.

231
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean their baby steps. They trusted him. Yeah, their babysit.

232
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: You don't have to he's this is.

233
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you remember like Troy Polamla's rookie year, he

234
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 2: was not very good. Do you recall that. No, yeah,

235
00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 2: here's the is not very good.

236
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: But there were not many Steeler fans who watched Troy

237
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Polamalu that year and didn't think.

238
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: He's going to be good.

239
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 5: Oo.

240
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. There were a lot of critics

241
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: to Troy pull. I don't know, man, I think everybody.

242
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I specifically remember having this conversation with Mike

243
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: weekend and week out, like you can see that you

244
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: know he's figuring this out and he's a freak athlete.

245
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: Caleb Johnson, I mean, they were errors of comission that

246
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: he was making. A lot of the time, you see

247
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 1: a flash of hair on your TV and you'd be like,

248
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: what the hell was that?

249
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 2: Yeah?

250
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, But Caleb Johnson, I mean just was not

251
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: able to do anything in the preseason and took a

252
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: little while, and it seemed like their plan was, oh, well,

253
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: he's just going to replace Naujy. I don't think many people,

254
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: I certainly didn't anticipate the trust and reliance they'd haven't gain. Well,

255
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: that has definitely enabled them to get what they needed

256
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: out of the backfield to this point, but going forward,

257
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: I think you still need Caleb Johnson to keep making steps.

258
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: So yes, So here's to look. They signed Jaalen warrened

259
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: to what it was three year contract extension. What does

260
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: that tell you he's their guy? Yeah, money though, King No,

261
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: but but but you know a low starter money, right,

262
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it keeps it on the back.

263
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 2: Money.

264
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 3: Hey, keep battling kid. They I mean, they drafted Johnson

265
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: for the long haul, sure, but they don't need him

266
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: to be the long haul guy right now, not right

267
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 3: this second. Right, and we look around in December, I

268
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: think you're gonna need to see him being.

269
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: The guy they thought they drafted.

270
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: You think he's going to be an eighteen carry guy

271
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: in December, because I don't. I mean, my guess is

272
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: he's going to be six to eight carries a game.

273
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: That's that's what I think he's gonna win. I think

274
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: he's going to be impactful in games by then.

275
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 2: I don't know.

276
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means in terms of carries.

277
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: But they're sort of bringing him along a little bit.

278
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: And he's had a couple of nice runs, a couple

279
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 3: three plays where you see a little burst. But he's

280
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 3: gonna have to start impacting games eventually for them to

281
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: be the team they need to be.

282
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: It's becoming the backup running back is becoming like the

283
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: backup quarterback and it's I mean, look, man, I defend

284
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: the Nagy for years I defend I'm like, look, man,

285
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: I like the way he runs. He runs harder. People

286
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: like Jayalen Warren should be getting all the carries. Now

287
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: Jayen Warren's getting all the carries. I'm defending him, and

288
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: they're saying Caleb Johnson should be in here.

289
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: Welcome to Pittsburgh. Did you have starter bias? What it is?

290
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: All right?

291
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 6: Now?

292
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: You referred to dk metcalf, I did as to Kalin

293
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: his real name. Now, explain a little bit of the

294
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: story behind this. If he had his brothers, we'd all

295
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: be calling him that.

296
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 2: Yeah.

297
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: I went up to him. I created my own conundrum.

298
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: Well done, Rob, No, no need to do this. But

299
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: I went up to him and I said, hey, is

300
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: there any circumstance in which you would like to be

301
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: called the Kalen which is his given name, And he

302
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: said I prefer it.

303
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: I was like, what what?

304
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: He goes, Yeah, everybody they just can't pronounce it properly.

305
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: And I started to say no, he goes, no, No,

306
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: you got to write it's to Kalan. I'm like, okay,

307
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: so you would like to be called to Kailin? He said, yeah,

308
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: if I had my brothers you.

309
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: I'd like to be called. So now I walk away

310
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: and on has he seen like the mirror what I

311

Speaker 1: I said, should I I'll call you to Kalen.

316
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,120

Speaker 2: what have I done?

318
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm creating my own problem because everybody knows him as DeKay.

319
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: Where did you see that in the first place? His

320
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: name to Kalen?

321
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's research, Trent Jordans to Kalen Trent

322
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: Jordan's anyway, what Wikipedia.

323
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: It's not on Seattle's media site, it's not on Pro

324
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: Football Reference.

325
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. Just the hard weekly research,

326
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: just that aggressive that Yes, that is impressive. But so

327
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: I now now I'm now I'm stuck. I'm stuck. I

328
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: don't know what to do. You call him dk okay,

329
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: you call him to Kailin when he's in trouble. The

330
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: Kale dragged that back foot to Kiln. Yeah, all right, okay,

331
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: the bad stuff. I really was like, what do I do? Yeah, okay,

332
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: you gotta call him. He can't explain every time.

333
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 6: Wow.

334
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: No, No, that's true. That's true. You know that's true.

335
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: I created my conundrum, but he's got me out of

336
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: it thanks.

337
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: I know.

338
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 7: He's had a few issues with some drops here and there,

339
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 7: unbelievable catch down the sideline, the late hands and one

340
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 7: first down pitch and catch on the slugo for a touchdown.

341
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: Yep, and he had he had an easy touchdown. And

342
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers.

343
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers had two throws that I've seen him make

344
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: every time that he didn't make this time. He's rolling

345
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: out to his right, had Darnault Washington over shot him. Look, man,

346
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: nobody's perfect right, but then he had to kaling down

347
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: the left sideline.

348
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: He was killing. Yeah, I just said it right there.

349
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: Dk He had him wide.

350
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: Open and underthrew him for Rodgers empty set, gets the snap,

351
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: Brown's bringing four Rogers lofts up the right sideline, tumbling

352
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: grab by to Caln Metcalf, I said, I think I

353
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: said it every time he caught them ball.

354
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: I was looking at mad, so I'm like I don't

355
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: know what to do, man, I don't know whether to

356
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: the right underneath.

357
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: Has Metcalf this time Metcalf racing up the right sideline

358
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: that can knock down at the twenty one yard line.

359
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: Big game for Metcalf, first down for the Steeler on

360
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: Metcalf didn't know what to do. Something didn't know it.

361
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: There's probably in an indifference land right there.

362
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: Rogers gets a snap back to pass looking pump fixed

363
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: the right now, wants to go to Metcalf, has him

364
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: in the angel touch down to Carolyn.

365
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: Metcalf, Yeah, touchdown.

366
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: See if Alvaro called him to kalenbe it is definitely

367
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: the game was Adam be.

368
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: Th boy, Oh cut the sound he look on see

369
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: and I see that faste go Giga Medcalf lspass all,

370
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: what'd you go? I think he said it made it

371
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: look easy? Did I did? I hear the word easy

372
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 2: in there? Boy.

373
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: But that first it was like over the campbell just

374
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: fell perfectly. I thought it was out of bounds. And

375
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how he ended up catching that one

376
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: because it was late and arriving.

377
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: He's really good.

378
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: They're both he's really you know, we're seeing we're seeing

379
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: Why with Pickens, who's a super talented guy.

380
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: Why they went out and got this guy. There's a

381
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: reason he's here, there's a reason he's I know he's

382
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: a pain in the ass, but I wish we had Pickens.

383
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: I think he'd be a manageable pain in the ass

384
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 2: on this team.

385
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 3: You know, the only thing I wonder about is Rogers

386
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 3: is so demanding on these guys being precise. And if

387
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 3: Pickens wasn't going to be precise, which he ain't never

388
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: been yet, Yeah, that wouldn't have worked.

Speaker 2: Sports sub brought team by Bridgeville Clients.

412
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 3: We heard Kinger's expert call of the improvised Aaron Rodgers

413
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 3: to Connor Heyward touched down. The player kind of got

414
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: the Steelers going. It was nine to three as still

415
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 3: anybody's game. Second half, and then they got that i

416
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: think four tuitous call on the running into the punter

417
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 3: which extended the possession and they end up taking advantage

418
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: of that break and sticking the ball in the end zone.

419
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: Here's Rogers talking about how that play developed.

420
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, just keep her to the right.

421
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 4: Jalen had a great block.

422
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 8: I think it was Jalen cut the guy, and I

423
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 8: just kind of continued out, the first look is in

424
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 8: the flat, second's kind of the DK on the backside,

425
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 8: and Connor's really kind of a clear out route. Though

426
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 8: we got a similar play against the Jets in Week

427
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 8: one to Calvin for a touchdown. Different formation, kind of

428
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 8: different thing we're doing, So I just got out there.

429
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 8: Connor's a really smart player, and I just kind of like,

430
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 8: either you were DK, when do you guys see this

431
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 8: and go that way? And Connor did to put a

432
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 8: decent ball on him in a nice kitchen.

433
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 4: I'm listening to the way that he talks about his teammates.

434
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: It's incredible third option and best on that play, right,

435
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: And then I'm waiting for somebody to see what I'm

436
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 3: seeing And got to call. In a postgame show last night,

437
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 3: somebody asked, is it possible that Rogers is starting to

438
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: get more comfortable? No, it wasn't a postgame show. It

439
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: was Tomlin was asked about this in his postgame press conference.

440
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 3: You know, Aaron Rodgers twenty one years in the league,

441
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 3: but is it possible he's still adjusting to Pittsburgh and

442
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: starting to get more comfortable here?

443
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: And Tomins said absolutely, there's.

444
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 3: Every expectation that should continue as he gets to know

445
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 3: his teammates even better and they play more games together

446
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 3: and they have more experience and helmet together. They're not

447
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: top end yet, they're four and one. A lot of

448
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 3: arrows are pointing up, but they can continue to improve.

449
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: It's going to be fascinating to see if they can

450
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 3: do so and at what rate. And then I wanted

451
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 3: to detail this hour one of my favorite plays of

452
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 3: the game. You guys remember the little push past Rogers

453
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 3: scrambling and he shoved it ahead yep to Jalen Warren.

454
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: It's an incredible play.

455
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: That was starting three from the Pittsburgh twenty eight and

456
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 3: the details of that play are incredible. Miles Garrett's on

457
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 3: right defensive end, where he spent almost the entirety of

458
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 3: the game. The whole offensive line blocks right away from Garrett.

459
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 3: I guess the play was initially supposed to go to

460
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 3: the right side, So Garrett's coming off the edge, Jalen

461
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: Warren has to pick him up one on one, backs

462
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: on backers. Baby Warren sticks his face in the fan

463
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 3: and rocks him. He didn't knock him down, but he

464
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 3: stood him up and knocked him back temporarily, so Garrett's

465
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: trying to recollect himself. Rogers is going right, and then

466
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 3: he loops back to the left, so Garrett's chasing him.

467
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: Here comes Broderick Jones off of his guy. Seeing what's

468
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: going on behind him, Warren makes him runs ahead and

469
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: makes himself available just in case Rogers needs an outlet.

470
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 3: And Broderick Jones gets just between Garrett and Rogers. Doesn't

471
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 3: really knock him down either, but he cuts them off,

472
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 3: and then Rogers shoves the little pass to warn first down.

473
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 3: Another kind of improv play, hustle play they're making. Rob

474
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 3: talked earlier today about how vicious they're playing and how

475
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 3: hard they're hitting, their their engagement since that Minnesota game

476
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: has been through the roof little stuff, big.

477
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 2: Tam Wilson, chase down. They're playing for every play. Yeah,

478
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 2: I look forward to seeing what they can do against Cincinnati.

479
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: Oh, it was a big question for me going into

480
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 3: this game because you didn't have the manufactured in tangible

481
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 3: of Oh, it's Ireland.

482
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: It's for the Steelers, It's for DMR. Yeah, I heard

483
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 2: you saying that on the pregame. I mean I thought

484
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 2: that was a legitimate concern.

485
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 3: I talked to Cam Heyward about that last week and

486
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 3: he said, now we're just building building building where they

487
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 3: keep ramping it up. So far, so good Yesterday, Yeah,

488
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: you know it's gonna be hard to play Thursday in Cincinnati.

489
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 2: It did look like a team that kind of gave

490
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: up the Browns. Kinger, would you agree.

491
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: Gave up in terms? Well, I gave up is the

492
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 1: wrong work because I know NFL teams never really give up.

493
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that they believe they could win. Well,

494
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: they were marching down the field, you know, with three

495
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: minutes left, and you know, they score a touchdown there,

496
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: they're winn seven. Right, they did march it into Steelers territory.

497
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: I just don't think they're I think they've got some

498
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: serious deficiencies. I think they've got a really good defense,

499
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: and I and I think that's about it.

500
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a.

501
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 3: Lot of tackle issues yesterday. Offensive tackle issues. Yeah, their

502
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: tackles have been problematic. They got injured. I mean, they

503
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 3: got guys got banged up on the offensive line.

504
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the way the Steelers played

505
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: conservatively offensively and defensively With the lead, they're trying to

506
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: run out the clock at the end of the game.

507
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: That was fine with it. There's a lot of people

508
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 2: kind of bitching about that, like we're you know, we're.

509
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: Playing too soft on defense, and you know, you're running

510
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: Caleb Johnson three times into the line and punting and

511
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: then Corlis punts with nine seconds on the play clock.

512
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: Make sure you bleed it all the way down.

513
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 9: You know.

514
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: Look, this has been a common topic. And Mike tomlins

515
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: record in one score games is phenomenal. I mean, it's

516
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: most coaches are right around that five hundred mark. He's

517
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: well above that. It's probably close to two thirds winning percentage.

518
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: And you look around the NFL and you think, you know,

519
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: and I'm I will preface this by saying I'm not

520
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: a gamber.

521
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: I rarely look at the lines.

522
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: But when you do, you think yourself to right, Okay,

523
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: so you think this team's gonna blow this team out.

524
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 2: But Mike, you back, they're rarely double digit lines in

525
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 2: the NFL.

526
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 3: Right, Bengals were minus fourteen and a half at Green

527
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 3: Bay yesterday and didn't cover, right.

528
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: So, but I mean, it's it's not common. Most of

529
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: them are single digits because most games are close. And

530
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: so you got you get a lead, you've got a

531
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: really good defense. Are there times where you think, Blad

532
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: I'd love to see him get one, be aggressive, get

533
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: one more score. But also with that comes maybe some

534
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: risk that you want to avoid when you've got a

535
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: good defense and.

536
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: You don't want to get anybody hurt.

537
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 3: When the game's over, the game's over, just get out

538
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 3: of dodge. They rest in a lit lot of guys

539
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: on a short week. I mean, at the end of

540
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 3: that game, they were playing Peppers at safety. They were

541
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 3: playing James Pierre at cornerback. They were playing he looked

542
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: outside linebacker.

543
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: They looked great.

544
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 3: They were playing it, says a to Maywoll on the

545
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 3: defensive line. Uh, kinger to your point.

546
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 1: Yesterday's finals Broncos Jets, one score game, Seattle's Jags at

547
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: Seattle Jags, one score game, Chargers Dolphins, one score game,

548
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals Colts one score game, Panthers Cowboys one score game,

549
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: Patriots Saints one score game.

550
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 2: And uh, that's it. But that's a lot. It's a lot.

551
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: It's a lot, and it happens all the time in

552
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. And we're you know, look, this is the

553
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: beauty of rooting for a team is we all see

554
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: our own warts, right, We see much more clearly than

555
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: we see another team's deficiencies and warts. This week's WDV

Speaker 1: Mike Pursuita and a power hour of Steeler Talk with

571
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: Rob King. The day after the Browns victory, and I

572
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: have to tell you, I'm leaving that game yesterday and

573
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, I think how they won this oh tomorrow,

574
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: the rest of the week is just going to be

575
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: so much more delightful in Pittsburgh. Yes, since they won that. Now,

576
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: sitting atop the AF do you actually control the audio here?

577
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: I can, yeah, because I just think did it? So

578
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: all of us who have who have have a microphone on.

579
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: At some point you realize you have to stop talking

580
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: or you have to really really trust the audio guy.

581
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: In the commercial break before you come on, he's just like, but.

582
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back to DV. So if he didn't, if he

583
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: wasn't controlling, you are controlling the No. Actually, I was

584
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: trusting Jacob and I am putting too much trust.

585
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 2: You know Jacob.

586
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: The content that I was spewing prior to that. But

587
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: Jake is drunk with who's your hysteria?

588
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? How about that?

589
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: They Well, how about James Franklin getting fired? The most

590
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: unpen state like thing ever. I was telling these guys earlier.

591
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: Some guy made an announcement. I was in the bathroom

592
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: at the game yesterday. Some guy goes holy after they

593
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: fired Franklin. The entire bathroom was like, oh my god,

594
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: you know, and then all the you know, the the

595
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: peanut gallery yelling was going on.

596
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 2: In there. But college football is just so fundamentally different now.

597
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to get my hands around what

598
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: exactly is happening there because I think it's out of

599
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: control is the word that kind of comes to mind.

600
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: It's just like they're doing much money that they're throwing

601
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: it all over the place, and it's making the game

602
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: like it seems like it is scattered. So it's it's

603
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: become pro football at a different level.

604
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 7: And by the way, it's pro football if there was

605
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 7: free agency every year.

606
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: With infrastructure right, and I think it underscores, you know,

607
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: people it was remember it was a big discussion point

608
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: should these guys be paid or not be paid? And

609
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: there are pros and cons and I understood that. But

610
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing just how much money there is,

611
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: and but it proves.

612
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: They should be paid. To me, it's just that I

613
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: think they overcorrected. I need.

614
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to see something a little more equitable. But

615
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: what they are doing, the lack of structure that they

616
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: have right now, is making the game. It's diluting college football.

617
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: Way they didn't get they didn't out in front of it,

618
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: and they had the opportunity and there were people discussing

619
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: this for years and years and years, and they didn't

620
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: get out in front of it. And now it's you

621
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: can't put the toothpaste back in the tight it is.

622
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're going to do. I hope

623
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: they can do something, because you know, I was talking

624
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: to a former college coach about, uh, you know about hey,

625
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: when when a guy, when.

626
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: A guy would go to the pros, you'd get to

627
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: get drafted.

628
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: He'd go up there and he'd like, you know, I'd

629
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: like to coach thank coach Dixon for for getting me

630
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: to the NBA. Now they're like, I'd like to thank

631
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: coach Jones, coach Smith, coach Dixon. I mean, you know,

632
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: five schools in four years.

633
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh. Steelers.

634
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: With a short week now and their second consecutive AFC

635
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: North game against the Bengals in Cincinnati on Thursday night,

636
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: they've got a chance to make some serious uh headway

637
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: here in some distance in the division if they get

638
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: two AFC North wins, keep knocking down these seas. I

639
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: don't know who Cleveland and Baltimore have this week. I

640
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: don't know if we could be okay so they can't lose.

641
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who Cleveland has but it'd be great

642
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: if they lost another one. But although I'm not too

643
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: worried about them, I mean, it really seems like it

644
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 1: would be it's the Steelers division to lose should they

645
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: win on Thursday night. And I don't discount the Ravens

646
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: at any point, but I think you got to win

647
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: this game on Thursday night because it's very winnable.

648
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: I agree, you know there they have a they have

649
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: a puncher's chance.

650
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: You know they have Joe Flacco can pressed the ball

651
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: down the field, and he's a veteran guy, but he

652
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: has not looked particularly sharp. Two touchdowns yesterday. Yeah, he

653
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: didn't look great in Cleveland. I have yet to see.

654
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: I have not watched the Bengals game yet. That is

655
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: for later today.

656
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 3: The one touchdown to Chase was one of the most

657
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 3: remarkable catches you'll ever say.

658
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't wait to see it in traffic. So

659
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: Chase is phenomenal. Higgins is really good. This is why

660
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: you got those three corners games like this. This is

661
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: why you have Ramsey and slay An added him to JPJ.

662
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: They have a good group of tight ends. I really

663
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: think Chase Brown's a good running back. He has not

664
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: gotten stared it at all because their offensive line has

665
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: been an issue. Hendrickson can wreck a game by himself.

666
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: He got yet right his back. I don't know whether

667
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to play or not. If he

668
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: can't play, I mean they've they've spent first round picks

669
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: on two edge guys who I don't think have done

670
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: a whole lot in Stuart and uh and uh uh

671
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: Miles Murphy. Yeah, Miles Murphy was the guy they took

672
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: first last year. So you know they're they're they have

673
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, they have a decent secondary. You know, look,

674
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: it's it's we talked about this just a short time ago.

675
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: It's it's every game in the NFL. Right, So you

676
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: think about yesterday, five turnovers they could have maybe happened

677
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: for the Steelers. They don't get any if if those

678
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: if the ball bounces Cincinnati's way, could be an issue.

679
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 5: Uh.

680
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: The line, the early line is Steelers minus five and

681
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: a half.

682
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 4: If I'm Tomlin, I'm scaring these guys about Flacco and saying, hey,

683
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 4: look he beat us last year in Indy. Right, this

684
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 4: guy's not done. I know there's rumors of his demise,

685
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 4: but they might be a little early.

686
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's I saw this stat. I think

687
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: he's six and twenty two as a starter since he

688
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: left the Ravens. It hasn't been Now, some of that's

689
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: the quality of the teams he's been on. Im in

690
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland's just not very good. But you know, look, he's

691
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: and anybody that's capable. It's like an old you know,

692
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: it's like George Foreman, you know, back in the day

693
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: they brought him out at you know, at forty six,

694
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: he could still knock you out, right, Joe Flacco was

695
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: still capable of having a good game. Speaking of knocking

696
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: you out, I mean the way that those guys were

697
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: rushing the quarterback yesterday, and given how Swiss cheese this

698
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,239
Speaker 1: Bengals offensive line is, it might be a tough day

699
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: for the old man. Yeah, and Mims has been a

700
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: little bit banged up at right tackle, So TJ. Watt's

701
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: got to be rubbing his hands together, ready to go.

702
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 2: Man, come out this.

703
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: Do you guys get the sense that this team that

704
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: the way they came out talking like they were going

705
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: to be the best defense in the NFL and then

706
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: let the Jets give him a game and then got

707
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: rolled by Seattle that that humility, the humbling there was

708
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: actually really good for them. And I don't think they're

709
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: going to look past a Bengals team. I think that

710
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: they know how big this game is coming up this weekend.

711
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: Past years, I would wonder, like, are they gonna get

712
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: up for this crap?

713
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: Just this one?

714
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: You know.

715
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 3: Deshaun Elliott was talking about that yesterday and he was

716
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 3: asked about their relatively comfortable position and he said, what

717
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 3: we like eight and two?

718
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: Last year we bleeped the bed.

719
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 4: So I love him.

720
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,239
Speaker 2: I think they're one at a time kind of about now.

721
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good because that seems to me to be

722
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: different from what they've been in the past.

723
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 2: And I think it's easy to.

724
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 4: Not overlook an opponent on a short week because it's

725
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: so immediate.

726
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: You got to get to work right now, right, you know?

727
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: I do. I would like to think that with Aaron

728
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: Rodgers at quarterback and you know, the defensive look. And

729
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: let's not forget too this last game was the first

730
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: time the entire starting eleven starting twelve with Herbig was

731
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: out there. Oh my goodness, gracious, has herbig been readible

732
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: that that's starting twelve? First time they've been available this week,

733
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: so they hopefully they'll be all available Thursday in Cincinnati

734
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: and moving forward. Yeah, Austin, any idea about his return, Mike, No, Well,

735
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: there was some Scott I game yesterday didn't play. I've

736
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: been here since.

737
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I just didn't know if there

738
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 2: was anything. I don't know, That's what I'm asking you.

739
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 3: But Tomlin talks today. Because of the short week, maybe

740
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 3: he'll have an update today is Tuesday. Wasn't a schefter

741
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 3: who floated yesterday? The Steelers are going to be active

742
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 3: before the trade deadline. You anticipate if that were the case,

743
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 3: it's at receiver. I wouldn't be shocked. I mean, you know, look,

744
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 3: they'll they'll try to get better anywhere. I saw some

745
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 3: of the names out there, and I'm like, I wonder

746
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 3: who would fit here for the Steelers. You know, you're

747
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 3: just looking down the list, you know, depth pieces potentially,

748
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 3: but George Pickens.

749
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: They look for a fourth, they look they look pretty deep,

750
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: and they look pretty good right now, the Steelers.

751
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 3: That's seen a lot of speculation, like, oh the Saints

752
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 3: are Saint's a good trader lave because they stak like

753
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 3: if you're gonna get any better. You want to have

754
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: good young receivers like, it's not their problem, right, No,

755
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 3: he's not their problem. I don't think you're getting the

756
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 3: lava for a fourth round compensatory pick.

757
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: No, it's it's always what are you going to get? Right,

758
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: he's unavailable? Wait how much? Oh, he's available? Right, That's

759
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 2: just the way it goes.

760
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 4: Are they utilizing everybody they have? Kinger, I've been talking

761
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 4: about this the last couple of weeks. Pat Fryarmouth not

762
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 4: figuring into this offense is really bizarre to me.

763
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: So I think I was asked about this. I believe

764
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: this is going to be all season long, a matchup offense.

765
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 1: So we think we can run the ball and bully you. Okay,

766
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of Spencer Anderson and a

767
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: lot of Darnell Washington.

768
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: We got to spread it out and throw it.

769
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna get more Calvin Austin, Roman Wilson, Pat fryar Muth,

770
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: John Smith.

771
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 2: I just think that's the way it's going to be.

772
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: I think that they they have enough flexibility to be

773
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: able to attack an opposing defense the way they want

774
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: to attack them and change within game because they've got

775
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: a wide variety of personnel.

776
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 3: Potentially good offense, bad fantasy team exactly. Yeah, that's a

777
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 3: good call, that's exactly right.

778
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 4: But I think a lot of Steelers fans thought of

779
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 4: him as somebody like a Travis Kelcey type ceiling to

780
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 4: his game, and I don't think when the Chiefs are

781
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 4: playing people, any opponent is going to factor him out

782
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 4: of the game.

783
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: He's been extremely consistent throughout his grim and you can

784
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: pretty much pencil in for sixty sixty five catches when

785
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: he plays a full season. He's not on pace to

786
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: do that right now, but I can see a game

787
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: in which he's going to catch six seven balls for

788
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: ninety five yards. You just haven't had to do that.

789
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna have to do it again.

790
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati either, hopefully.

791
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 2: By the way, really impressed with the Chiefs last night.

792
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: I mean that was a big win. They're only three

793
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 2: and three, but they're still the Chiefs. Yeah.

794
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: Andy Reid might be the greatest coach alive. He might

795
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: in reck like when it's all said and done, sit great.

796
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: Do you mean like like a great lake, like great

797
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: size size?

798
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: Yes?

799
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: But Belichick this you know, I know that Bill Simmons

800
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: and you know the Patrio triots a riff raffer, all

801
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: yelling oh nothing will ever but marks his legacy. I

802
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: disagree Brady's success after Belichick and then Belichick completely screwing

803
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: up his end of tenure in New England and then

804
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 1: embarrassing himself in North Carolina.

805
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: I don't think Andy Reid would ever do that.

806
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 4: How good Drake may has looked, how good Mac Jones

807
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 4: has looked in San Franz.

808
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: Dude, Yeah, who did he have coaching Mac Jones? A

809
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: bunch of idiots who should have never been coordinators quarterbacks

810
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: coaches like Belichick was. You couldn't question anything he did

811
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: there for so long, and he was making terrible mistakes.

812
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: I just I just wonder if that conversation is now. No,

813
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is a better coach than Bill Belichick. Despite

814
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: the championships.

815
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you look at Andy Reid's previous to Kansas

816
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 3: City run which, yeah, Philadelphia was really good, but it

817
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 3: could never win a big one. There doesn't matter, Oh no,

818
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 3: it matters who is his quarterback. It matters who was

819
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 3: his So it's all tied to the quarterback. Well, this

820
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 3: is what I'm saying did you have menab for a while?

821
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: M him? Was Belichick going to the AFC Championship without

822
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady.

823
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 3: I think Andy Reid's a really good coach and he's

824
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 3: a likable guy who does funny fast food commercials. And

825
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 3: Belichick's a really good coach who's just so dislikable and

826
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 3: he's embarrassing himself later in life.

827
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: We gotta jump out here, Rob King, thanks so much, buddy,

844
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 5: The Steelers improved the four and one on the season

845
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,479
Speaker 5: thanks to a dominating win against the rival Cleveland Browns

846
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 5: at Akrostur Stadium Sunday and what was the team's most

847
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 5: complete performance today. The twenty three to nine victory saw

848
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 5: the defense keep the Browns out of the end zone

849
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 5: all afternoon long, while the Steelers' offense found paydirt a

850
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 5: couple of times.

851
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 2: Defensively, Nick Herbig had his fingerprints all.

852
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 5: Over this game with an elite performance where he had

853
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 5: two sacks, two tackles for a loss, and four quarterback hits.

854
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 5: The offense, which game three hundred and thirty five total yards,

855
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 5: was highlighted by the Aaron Rodgers to DK Metcalf connection,

856
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 5: which continues to impress week after week. Against the Browns,

857
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 5: Rogers found Dk four times on nine targets for ninety

858
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 5: five yards and an impressive twenty five yard touchdown. Rogers

859
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 5: and Metcalf have connected for a touchdown in four of

860
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 5: their first five games of Steelers this year. The offensive

861
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 5: line also did a fantastic job of keeping Rogers clean

862
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 5: all game, as the quarterback didn't suffer a single sack,

863
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 5: and Brown star Miles Garrett was quiet all game long,

864
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 5: registering just two tackles and being shut out from the

865
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 5: sack column.

866
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:21,880
