1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: Segment brought to us by eighty four Lumber Dynasty partner 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: of the Pittsburgh Steelers. 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 2: Here's some free advice for Mike. 4 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Tomlin, for Omar Khan, for whoever wants to talk in 5 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: behalf of the Pittsburgh Steelers as to what's going on 6 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,479 Speaker 1: with their wide receiver position and specifically the departure of 7 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: George Pickens in that trade to the Dallas Cowboys for 8 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: a draft pick next year shortly after this year's draft 9 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: came and went by all means, stepped to the microphone 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: and tell us what really happened there. Because as time 11 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: is getting further and further away and Pickens keeps making 12 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: catches like he made in that game yesterday against the Commanders, 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: people in Pittsburgh are going, what the heck? 14 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: Now? 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: That was my reaction right away when they traded Pickens 16 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: after the draft, after free agency and only got a 17 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: pick for next year in return for him. 18 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: But I'm pretty sure I know what happened. 19 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure whatever conversation they had with Pickens about 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: how things were gonna go with DKB and the number 21 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: one guy wasn't meant well. I'm pretty sure that there 22 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: must have been something back and forth between Omar Khan 23 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: and the representation for George Pickens that was to the 24 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: extent of, George is gonna hold out, George is gonna 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: hold in. George is not going to promise you anything 26 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: about how he's going to behave and how he's going 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: to get along here. So the Steelers just said, whatever 28 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: we punt, we've lost on this one. We'll get by 29 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: with Calvin Austin and hope for the best. And the 30 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: best right now is the same result as they had 31 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: after six games a year ago. They've got one wide receiver, 32 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: they've got very little else besides that. Austin I do 33 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: think got a little better since last year, but we 34 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: haven't seen much of it because he's hurt. There's no 35 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: guarantee he's going to stay healthy the rest of the year, 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: being that size in the NFL. So they're kind of 37 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: in the same spot, aren't they. And maybe Pickens said 38 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: he wouldn't report. Maybe Pickens said he was going to 39 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: hold in. Whatever the case, they wanted to be rid 40 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: of them, and they were all to will for the 41 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: minimal price tag that Dallas gave up for him, and 42 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: he kept the Cowboys afloat in the pass game while 43 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb was out. Now Lamb is back and next 44 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: to Chasin Higgins, that might be the best one to 45 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: two punch receiver wise in all of football. I don't 46 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: blame the Steelers for doing that. I think they could 47 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: have gotten better return. I think they could have gotten 48 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: better return earlier if they had admitted earlier that it 49 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: just wasn't gonna work between those two in Pittsburgh with 50 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: him and DK under the same roof, and eventually my 51 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: guess is by season's end, it's not gonna work out 52 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: great for the Cowboys with Ceedee Lamb and Pickens. Either 53 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: that's just my hunch, or Pickens is just using him 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: for a year. He's gonna hit the market, make it 55 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: big in free agency, and make wherever he goes next 56 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: the night mere. 57 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: If it wasn't in Dallas, that could happen too. 58 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: But I also know that the Steelers don't have a 59 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: number two wide receiver. 60 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 2: That's the bigger sin. 61 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: Not what they did with Pickens was the failing to 62 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: backfill yet again, even though they had time between getting 63 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: rid of Pickens at the start of the season. Even 64 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: though we're still coming up with the trade deadline, and 65 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: they can do something about it. 66 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: Now. 67 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: The record masks that the fact that they're four and two. 68 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: Metcalf's production at times has masked that. It's also been 69 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: masked by the fact that DK's healthy. What if he 70 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: isn't like Pickens wasn't at the end of last year 71 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: when we went through all this for the first time. 72 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: So I still do think there is a need there 73 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: for the Steelers to sacrifice some of their draft pool 74 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: for next season and go get a wide receiver that's 75 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: a compliment to Metcalf. I think that's a huge priority. 76 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: I think they're dumbed to not do it. I especially 77 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: think they're dumb to not do it because obviously. 78 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: Things are working out pretty well with Rogers. Things are not. 79 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: Working out well for the draft class next year at quarterback. 80 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: So all these draft picks that they've hoarded us some 81 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: of them for collateral. Now, when it's worked out well 82 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: for you in the AFS, see north and make yourself better, 83 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: secure that division championship and make sure what happened against 84 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: Cincinnati doesn't continue to be a slide. And if your 85 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: defense continues to stink against these next three teams that 86 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: you got, well, maybe you can outgun them and outscore 87 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: them on offense. If Rogers continues to be that good, 88 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: that's my thought on it. This is what Mike Decursi 89 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: said when you heard him last week here in the 90 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: Mark Madden Show and My Friday Football show over at 91 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: Trip Sports. 92 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: There is an obsession in the Steelers nation, so to speak, 93 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: whether it's the fan base or it's the people who 94 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 3: cover the team comment on the team about getting another 95 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: wide receiver. And I am telling you right now that 96 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 3: if the Steelers were offered, Okay, here's a second wide 97 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 3: receiver that can really help you, and here's a safety, 98 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: a free safety that can really help you, I would 99 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 3: take the safety one hundred times out of one hundred. 100 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: They are so poor in the secondary. They're getting nothing 101 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: from their safety play at all. 102 00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: Nothing. 103 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 3: They get no help from those guys on occasion and 104 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 3: on talking about I'm not talking about de Shaun Elliott 105 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 3: as a strong safety as a run support, but the 106 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 3: free safety play. When they traded Mika, they made they 107 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: made it a they made a significant choice that having 108 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 3: a highly capable cornerback is more important than having a 109 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 3: highly capable free safety. And they're seeing now that there 110 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: are times when that's true, but there are also times 111 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 3: when it's not and they are not getting adequate safety 112 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 3: play at that position. 113 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: So let me ask the question, is Mike Wright, should 114 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: the Steelers prioritize secondary over wide receiver? And I'll expand 115 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: the question, if it's just one, you can't have both, 116 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: although I think the Steelers should look to getting both. 117 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: If it can only be one, should it be wide 118 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: receiver or should it be a position on defense? Eight three, 119 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: three four one two ninety nine thirty nine. I'm still 120 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: going wide receiver. I get Mike's point. I think he 121 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: made it well. I might actually lean more defensive line 122 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: honestly than secondary, but I get his point. But if 123 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: it's just gonna be one, I'm still gonna go with 124 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: wide receiver because that guy can help you now with 125 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: who he is, and he can save your butt potentially 126 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: whoever it is, if something should happen to DK Metcalf, 127 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: because I think they're lost without DK Metcalf, because then 128 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: your second best receiver is Pat Fryarmouth, and they don't 129 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: seem to want to play that guy, and he's not 130 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: even a wide receiver, he's a tight end. Beyond that, 131 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: it appears to be Roman Wilson until Calvin Austin is 132 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: truly healthy. 133 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 2: You can also. 134 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: Tweet me at Tim Ben's PGH. So the simple question 135 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: is is Mike right about that? And if he is, 136 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: which direction would you go in? Upfront or in the 137 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: back third. If it's not gonna be wide receiver, I 138 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: would still go with wide receiver. And part of the 139 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: reason why, for as much as these holes are being 140 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: exploited on defense, they like their defense. I know they've 141 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: talked themselves into the wide receiver thing, but I don't 142 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: know who's available that can actually play in front of 143 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: some of the components that they went out and signed, drafted, 144 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: or traded for in the secondary and the defensive line. 145 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: That's also a component of this of they go out 146 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: and get a guy at one of those positions and 147 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't play or have the ball thrown his way, 148 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: kind of like we saw when Mike Williams a year 149 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: ago on the other side of the ball. 150 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: Paul in Washington, You're on one O five nine the X. 151 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 4: Hey, Benzi, I like, lets you unto you. I hearing 152 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 4: you on other areas, but I agree, but I disagree. 153 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 4: I think you got to do something by Joey Porter Junior. 154 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 4: He's obviously a second round bust. I don't know why 155 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 4: they him. Maybe it was a favorite of his dad. 156 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 4: But he's nowhere near the football player his dad was. 157 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 4: But he can run his mouth like his dad. But 158 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 4: he's a bust. Slay is washed up. There's a reason 159 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 4: that Philly let him go. We see that now. And Ramsey, 160 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 4: he was running behind the Fangles receivers all night long. 161 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: Well the Ramsey thing, Paul, and thank you. 162 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: I got a bunch of people who just dialed in, 163 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: so I got to rattle through a bunch. But you 164 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: bring up a good point about the corner versus safety 165 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: component if we're talking secondary in general as opposed to safety. 166 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: And yeah, I could see where there's a hole beyond 167 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: Deshaun Elliott, particularly at the free safety position that Mike 168 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: is talking about. But corner might be the more glaring 169 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: need because they haven't gotten performance there. You're talking about Porter, 170 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a second round bus, nor was 171 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 1: he a second round reach because he was going to 172 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: go in that vicinity. He was going to go in 173 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: that vicinity of picks. If he didn't go to the Steelers, 174 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: he was going to go a couple picks later. For sure, 175 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: he was right about how thirties on the draft board 176 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: early second round, regardless of whether Pittsburgh was gonna take 177 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: him or not. I don't think it was just a 178 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: favor to his dad, like you said. But corners just 179 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: don't move. Safeties move. Corners don't because there's such a 180 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: commodity of player. Everybody needs corners, and if you have them, 181 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: they don't let them go. Viper and Cannonsburg, you're on 182 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: one O five nine the X. 183 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 5: Afternoon. 184 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 6: I can't help but disagree, maybe a little bit with 185 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 6: the last ball, right, You're absolutely right you need to 186 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 6: go out to or watch. 187 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: Viper will losing you. 188 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: But if you say, I believe what you said, there's 189 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: more need there for a wide receiver than a safety. 190 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: I think the wide receivers will move too, because those 191 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: tens to tend to be guys that have decent sized tickets, 192 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: that teams that aren't going to benefit from second wide 193 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: receiver play that are out of it are willing to move. 194 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: That's not a component of this. What are the most 195 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: movable commodities? And I think we we'll see a receiver 196 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: market to some degree or another but unfortunately health has 197 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: got in the way of some of the guys, whether 198 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: they're banged up or other players on their teams have 199 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: gotten hurt, and then they're just hamstrung as a total 200 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: offense with the young quarterbacks, and coaches and gms don't 201 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: want to move those guys. Brian and new Brighton, you're 202 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: on one of five nine the X good Day, Good Day. 203 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 7: I think that you hit the nail right on the head. 204 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 7: And one of the things that have a problem with 205 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 7: the Steelers is I feel like they feel like their 206 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 7: system is way more complex than anybody else in the 207 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 7: league that when they do go get these guys like 208 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 7: they think they need to like slow. I'll give you 209 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 7: a good example is they go out and get Jabrill 210 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 7: Pebbers and because of the shawan Elly gets hurt, he 211 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 7: splashes in the first game. They talk about how shoddy 212 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 7: their safety play is, but you haven't seen him on 213 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 7: the field since. Even if they go get the guys, 214 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 7: they feel like they have this buffering period that they 215 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 7: have to work them into these complex systems that you 216 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 7: watch all these that listen to these other players in 217 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 7: the league talk and talk about how it's not a 218 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 7: complex systems. 219 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: It's like, well, yeah, yeah, here's the point where I 220 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: counter to. But I get what you're saying when you 221 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: say that they think that their own system is so complicated. 222 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 2: I don't think they do. 223 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: I think their system and their minds is easy the 224 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: way they compute it, but it's obviously not once it 225 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: gets into the field of battle because their players can't 226 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: figure it out and they're lost all the time. Like 227 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: I bet the coaches feel like this system is pretty 228 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: easy to figure out, and they give it to the 229 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: players and then they get lost at crucial times, which 230 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: is why we keep hearing about all these communication problems, 231 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. 232 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'll give you that. 233 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 7: And even when they go out and get a guy 234 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 7: like I, they go get Peppers. They let Mike Williams 235 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 7: play last year one game and throw them a Mike 236 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 7: Williams ball, because that's what Mike Williams is known for, 237 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 7: deep balls and fades in the corner of the end zone. 238 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 7: Or you let Jabrill Peppers go out and play his 239 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 7: game the reason you got him and he splashes, but 240 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 7: then you don't see him the rest of the year. 241 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 7: You don't give them that opportunity. You know to continue 242 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 7: to for the reason you got them. 243 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I appreciate the call, Brian. 244 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there is a little bit of a 245 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: gap there between how they view how tangible their system 246 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: is for the players and what the players really think, 247 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: because obviously there's a problem. 248 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: There's a disconnect there. Mike and Cranberry. You're on one, 249 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: O five nine the X. 250 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 6: Hey what's happening? Tim? 251 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 2: Hey, Mike, one like your take the other. 252 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 6: The replay that you played before. I disagree wholeheartedly. We 253 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 6: need a wide receiver. At the end of the day, 254 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 6: we have a defense that is the highest paid in 255 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 6: the NFL. They're allowed to go make plays. 256 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 8: Especially t J. 257 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 6: Watt who wanted to hold in Cam Hayward who wanted 258 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 6: to hold in You know, we need a number two, 259 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 6: plain and simple, and we have better quarterback play this 260 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 6: year than we did last year. So I would say 261 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 6: support that the defense just has to step up, plain 262 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 6: and simple, go get a number two. 263 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 2: Appreciate it, thanks, Mike. I'm sort of of that mind. 264 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: I think the course, he makes a very good point 265 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: about what needs to get better, but to complete that loop, 266 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: you also have to have the coaches and Omar Kahan 267 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: be on the same thought line, and I think they 268 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: feel like they've got enough good players there and the 269 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: players just aren't doing the heavy lifting. 270 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: They can't possibly look. I think that they're. 271 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: Bs ing us about how confident they are in the 272 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: wide receiver room. I think they feel what they're speaking 273 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: about the defense, and there's a big difference between those 274 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: two things. If you missed the James Franklin SoundBite from earlier, 275 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: I played it with Tom, but I'm want to play 276 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: it again, and I want to go over one specific 277 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: thing that Franklin said in his appearance on College Game Day. 278 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,199 Speaker 2: Next one to five nine the X. 279 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 4: Screws to join us for the XS Halloween CRUs. 280 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: On Thursday, October thirtieth. 281 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 3: The Cup says sale at eight pm with live music 282 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 3: from the Clintones playing all your nineties favorites. 283 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 6: Ten dollars and fifty nine cents from every ticket sold 284 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 6: goes to the Mario Lemue. 285 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: Foundation Jingux Crew for this twenty one oar old door 286 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 3: event and dressing your Halloween's best. 287 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 2: To score prizes all night.

That's actually pretty funny. 300 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: I'll get some more tweets before we're done. Got a 301 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: few that I need to get through, as we've stockpiled 302 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: a couple. Yesterday, Sorry, Saturday, James Franklin, former Penn State coach, 303 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: was on the set of ESPN College Game Day, and 304 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: he had a chance to speak his mind about the 305 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: dismissal from Penn State and boy Diddy. 306 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 2: How'd we get here so quickly? 307 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 9: Yeah, I can't answer that, to be honest with you, 308 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 9: I'm still working through it myself. It feels surreal. I 309 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 9: just got a message, you know, from Drew Aller's dad 310 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 9: that he's sitting home as well. We both should be 311 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 9: in Iowa. It's what we used were used to doing 312 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 9: and how we operate and I've been doing this for thirty. 313 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: Years and fifteen years as a head coach. 314 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 9: To think essentially, six games ago, we were fighting for 315 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 9: a chance to be in the national championship two minute 316 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 9: drive away. So that's the thing I really can't answer that, Kirk. 317 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 9: Twelve years, a ton of good moments, a bunch of 318 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 9: big wins, but decisions were made, and I'm not involved 319 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 9: in those decisions. I'm very, very grateful for the time 320 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 9: I had it, most importantly for the relationships I was 321 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 9: able to build. I thought we were going to win 322 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 9: a national championship there, we were close. That goal hasn't changed. 323 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 9: We're just gonna go win a national championship somewhere else now. 324 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 3: Hell yeah, hell yeah. 325 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: Okay, a couple of things there, McAfee's enthusiasm side. First 326 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: of all, it didn't happen quickly. This was the culmination 327 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: of them very rarely winning big games. And when James 328 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: Franklin started to win the games to lose the games 329 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: he was not supposed to lose, let alone winning games 330 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: that he could never win against very good competition. That 331 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: was the cherry on the Sunday, But most of the 332 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: Sunday was already built, So let's not act like this 333 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: is something that came out of nowhere, as was sort 334 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: of the discussion there. Second, he's playing the victim, no doubt. Third, 335 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: I have no idea where that's going to be. Where 336 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: he thinks he's going to walk in and win a 337 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: national championship. I would suggest to him take one of 338 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: the ACC jobs and then hopefully Miami and Clemson don't 339 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: become your Michigan and Ohio state, and maybe you can 340 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: find a path that way. But this notion of him 341 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: going to I don't know, Florida or LSU or Wisconsin, 342 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: I definitely wouldn't do that. Get out of the Big ten, 343 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: he's going to find it awfully hard slogging in the SEC. 344 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: I think there's a clearer path to one of those 345 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: ACC schools, especially since he tends to recruit well in Virginia. 346 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: Harry and Westview, You're on one oh five nine the X. 347 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 8: Yeah, Tom, I'm sorry, didn't do me to call you that, 348 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 8: But anyway, you know, they say arrogance is pretending like 349 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 8: you know what you're talking about, and confidence who's actually 350 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 8: know what you're talking about. That's what I always thought 351 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 8: about Franklin and I just I think that's what shot 352 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 8: him down in the end. And I want to know 353 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 8: how they handle an IL money, Like why are they 354 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 8: willing to pay fifty million dollars out to Franklin and 355 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,400 Speaker 8: like how does. 356 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 4: He part of that? 357 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: Well, there's an IL, but I mean, like that that's 358 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: coming from the same sources. You know, it's like people 359 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: that are giving to the athletic department, and where the 360 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: money is coming in from to the athletic department from 361 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: UH television networks and things of that sort. Harry, thank 362 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: you for the call, But I mean, so much of 363 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: that is going to be offset soon anyway. Like that, 364 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: there's whatever offset language is in there, to whatever degree 365 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: it exists. You know, he's going to be working again soon. 366 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: He's going to get another college job. He just said 367 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: it right there. He's not ready to sit on the 368 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: shelf and just be an analyst. So with that being said, yeah, 369 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: I think it's crazy what the buyouts are. I think 370 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: it's crazy what the coaches are making. But it's not 371 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: necessarily like, Okay, you're on a college campus and this 372 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: money is coming in to the football team, and otherwise 373 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: it would go to the drama department. Or to build 374 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: a new math building or the Polypsi program. And these 375 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: are people who are giving money because they're fans of athletics. 376 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: It's not the same thing, Phil Bork Next one O 377 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: five nine The X. 378 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 3: Now it's your chance to win one thousand dollars. 379 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 6: Just entered this nationwide keyword on our website. 380 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 2: Credit.

I just thought that type 404 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 5: of goal, you know, not that far from where Mike 405 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 5: Lang was born in Sacramento, and I know, you know 406 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 5: he used in twenty sixteen, you know, get the fastling Grandma. 407 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 5: The Bengal game is ready to roll. That was kind 408 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 5: of a salute from him to his grandmother, who lived 409 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 5: into her hundreds. And I just thought, you know, last time, 410 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 5: it's it's kind of my wrong, like Tim that the 411 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 5: last time, I should say first time, which happened last year. 412 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 5: I did play by play Josh, also with Ill and 413 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 5: San Jose. It was there where I also did play 414 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 5: by play, which I had never done before and is 415 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 5: a completely different animal. And I have a whole new 416 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 5: respect for play by play guys after having tons of 417 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 5: respect for playlet play guys. I pulled out a I 418 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 5: think I used to get in the fast line Grandma 419 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 5: last year. It's just kind of a tilt of the 420 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 5: helmet and a tap of the pads. To my old partner, Mikeylan, did. 421 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: You get a clean, Borkie? 422 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: Did you see the deflection from Sid right off the 423 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: hop or did you think that La Tang scored it 424 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: on his own? 425 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 5: No, I had an unbelievable angle. And also I knew 426 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 5: it was him, and just the way that the Dulkovich 427 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 5: reacted to I knew it was deflected. So there's a 428 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 5: lot of different factors and on that. I think because 429 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 5: I saw Sid there, because I saw a stick there, 430 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 5: and then I saw the reaction of Nadalkovich, I knew 431 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 5: it had to be him. So yes, I got a clean. 432 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: What'd you think of the jarr Nadelkovitch battle there? 433 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 5: Oh? 434 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 8: That was great? 435 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 5: Ohot, that was great. I knew they they liked each other. 436 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 5: I didn't know there was that kind of a friendship 437 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 5: that they showed before the game and after the game. Uh, 438 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 5: and obviously once the puck gets dropped, it was a 439 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 5: nice healthy, come come peek, you know, battle against each 440 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 5: other type of moment in that game, which was was great. 441 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 5: They were trying to outdo each other. I thought both 442 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 5: goaltenders were outstanding. I thought the Dalkavich maybe got a 443 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 5: little bit too frisky trying to play the puck like 444 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 5: he did early in the year against Las Vegas. But 445 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 5: with that being said, I think it brought the best 446 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 5: out in Tristan Jari when he looked down the other 447 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 5: end and saw alex Van Dalkovic. 448 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: In your time as a player, or even if you 449 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: want to go on the broadcast route, what's the biggest 450 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: line that you remember playing against and what made pure 451 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: size so difficult to navigate like we see with this 452 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: new geno line that he's playing on. 453 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was kind of very end of my career. 454 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 5: It was the legion of doom in Philadelphia, you know, 455 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 5: with John Leclair, Michael Rinberg and Eric Lindross. That's I mean, 456 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 5: those are just three horses. Maybe they weren't at the 457 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 5: you know, six' five six six rains like these three guys, 458 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 5: are but, yeah they they were also physical and And 459 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 5: lindros had a had a mean streak and that was 460 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,959 Speaker 5: probably the, biggest baddest.

Twofold and if you want 515 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 5: to add, something jump in man the load management as 516 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 5: far as not giving them too much too soon and 517 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 5: what do they do when they're out of the. Lineup 518 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 5: AND i was really just had a smile on my 519 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 5: face when they both said they studied the, game and 520 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 5: Especially brunick, SAID i Watched. CARLSON i watched the THING 521 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 5: i write the right hand shooting defense on WHICH i. 522 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 5: AM i just watched the way they went about their. 523 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 5: Business AND i wasn't just up, there you, know eating 524 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 5: hot dogs and popcorn enjoy. MYSELF i actually used it 525 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 5: as like a. Classroom so number, one the load, management 526 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 5: but ALSO i think and also by doing that allows 527 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 5: you to keep them here longer and longer and. Longer 528 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 5: so just being around this team and the coaches and 529 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 5: everything else is going to pay. DIVIDENDS i think it'll 530 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 5: all play out at the. END i kind of get 531 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 5: that feeling him that the nine game kind of, first you, 532 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 5: know line in the sand about whether we keep them 533 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 5: here longer than nine, games which would burn the first 534 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 5: year of their entry level. CONTRACT i don't think that's 535 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 5: as strong a line as maybe it's been in the 536 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 5: past with other. PLAYERS i think they're willing to just 537 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 5: blow right by that and worry about the next line 538 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 5: in the, sand which might be so we send them 539 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 5: to The World juniors or are they better just staying 540 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 5: here In, pittsburgh you know, SO i don't think they're 541 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 5: worried about. THAT i think both players are starting to 542 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 5: tell you, that forget about the nine, games we belong. 543 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 5: Here both, Players i'm gonna lup them both. Together both 544 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 5: players play is showing me that they deserve to stay. Here. 545 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 5: NOW i don't make the, decisions And i'm sure there's 546 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 5: other things that go into making that, decision but it 547 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 5: seems pretty obvious to me that they they look and 548 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 5: they play the role that they are. Given they belong 549 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 5: in this hockey. 550 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: Team, well this is only a half, sarcastic half serious 551 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: follow up to that. Film when they're studying the likes 552 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: Of Eric carlson And Crystal, TANG i hope they're studying 553 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: the right things and ignoring some of the other, stuff right, 554 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: like especially at their age and THEIR nhl skill level 555 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: at this, point to not go too overboard with some 556 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: of the risks those guys. 557 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 8: Take, oh fair. 558 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 5: ENOUGH i understand where you want a little tongue in cheap, 559 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 5: there and that's that's fair because Both Crystal tang And Eric, 560 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 5: carlson you, know could button their game. Up they've been 561 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 5: good and they can be. Better AND i understand where 562 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 5: you're going with that. Question BUT i think they still 563 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 5: do a lot of things, defensively whether it's sick positioning 564 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 5: or angling or you, know just having a presence of 565 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 5: what's around you and moving the put quick when it 566 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 5: needed to move, quick and when to carry it when 567 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 5: the time to carry. It so there's a lot more 568 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 5: positive than Chrys letang And Eric carlson's game right now 569 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 5: that a player Like, brunik who has some similar traits 570 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 5: and qualities in his, game can actually really benefit and 571 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 5: taking a page out of both fifty eight and sixty five. 572 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 8: Games is it? 573 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: WISE i would think that it is that they're distributing 574 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: the minutes the way that they. Are i'll focus on 575 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: the defenseman for the time, being BUT i suppose you 576 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: could also apply this to the forwards, Too, Phil like 577 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: when you See Ryan shay at twenty one minutes per, 578 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: game when you See watherspoon at twenty one minutes per, 579 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: game the same number is as you, know where we're 580 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: not so used to seeing other guys get as much 581 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: As letang And. Carlson let me put it to you that, 582 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: way it seems like they're better distributing the minutes this 583 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: year and giving less room for mental and physical fatigue 584 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,239 Speaker 1: for those guys to make some blow up. 585 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 2: Mistakes fair. 586 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 5: Enough, yeah AND i think even and you, Know i'll 587 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 5: talk about the, defense and but even look At sid's. 588 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 5: MINUTES i Think sid's down around eighteen. 589 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 2: Game, yeah there you. 590 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 5: Go and that's that's a byproduct Of Dan mues trusting 591 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 5: all four. Lines and give that fourth, line you, know 592 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 5: the Laz otteline a lot of credit and let's charity 593 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 5: getting back in the. Lineup give him a lot of. 594 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 5: Credit that. Line, uh they've been difference, makers and especially 595 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 5: in THAT la game and The penguins were, flat they 596 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 5: were the one team that that really GAVE i think 597 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 5: the hockey club a, jump especially the goal By connor Doer. 598 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,239 Speaker 5: So but as far as the, defenseman, YEAH i, KNOW i. 599 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 5: Understand you know Where Connor clifton and where he is feeling, 600 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 5: like you know what AM i doing? Here you, know 601 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 5: LIKE I i've Proven i'm AN nhl defense And i've 602 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 5: played a lot of games in this league AND i 603 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 5: deserve to be in the. Lineup and he's kicked off 604 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 5: and that's, fine that's. Healthy he's going to get a. 605 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 5: Shot SO i think there's really healthy competition on the, 606 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 5: backside and guys are realizing that IF i do not 607 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 5: bring MY a, game THE b game is not going 608 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 5: to be good, Enough i'll probably be out of the. 609 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 5: Lineup and so that's healthy. Competition that's where you want 610 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 5: it to. Be and there's every defension that they have 611 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 5: here In pittsburgh right now belongs to be in the. 612 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 5: Lineup but you can only dress six every. 613 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: Night fourky before we, go and this is the last 614 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: point on this year's. TEAM i want to get more 615 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: of a historical analysis from you on something before we. 616 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,719 Speaker 1: Go but last point on. THIS i know that phrase 617 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: connectivity has been thrown around a. Lot Damn us likes 618 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: to talk about, that AND i think when people talk 619 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: about structure and, system they think five on. Five where 620 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: are you seeing the goal for connectivity and structure on 621 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: the special teams? Units is it shining through in any 622 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: particular manner to? You on THE pk or the power? 623 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 5: Play i'll start with the power play for and, yeah 624 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 5: as far as being, connected it goes in all three, 625 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 5: zones and the best way for me to describe, it 626 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 5: you know from a radio, voice is that if you 627 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 5: were watching ON tv and you had your remote and 628 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 5: you could hit pause when The penguins are going and 629 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 5: they're playing their, game and the offensive zone and the 630 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 5: neutral zone and then the defensive, zone if you can 631 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 5: see to hit the pause, button they can see all 632 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 5: Five penguins, jerseys all Five penguin. Players they're doing something. 633 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 5: Right as far as the power, play it's about it's 634 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 5: about being unpredictable to the opponent and being predictable to your. 635 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 5: Teammates number. Two but as far as the term used 636 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 5: about being connected is even with all this movement and, 637 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 5: unpredictability you still need to have triangle FORMATIONS i think 638 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 5: throughout the ice to give you at least two options 639 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 5: of what to do with the puck if you feel. 640 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 5: Pressure AND i have seen a couple of teams try 641 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 5: to go super high pressure against The penguin's power play 642 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 5: and they weren't quite ready for. It BUT i think 643 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 5: they've done a really good job of making the adjustment 644 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 5: of getting those triangle formations throughout the ice when the 645 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 5: puck carrier is looking for OPTION a and OPTION. B 646 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 5: when you move it quick like, that good things. 647 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: Happen all, Right, Borky i'll leave you with this during the, 648 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: trifecta Which madden And Tommy radio do in the two 649 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,479 Speaker 1: o'clock hour of their show every. Day tom's submission today 650 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: was because there's A game seven in baseball tonight for The. 651 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: Alcs he did three most painful and Greatest game sevens 652 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: In pittsburgh sports. History so obviously it's baseball, hockey and 653 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: there are plenty Of penguin And pirate nominations during your 654 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: time as A penguin player or voice on the broadcast. 655 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: Team the most painful and the greatest that you were 656 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: a part Of game. 657 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 2: Seven give them to me. 658 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 5: Well the. GREATEST i think it's pretty. Easy as far 659 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 5: as a game, seven that would be the two thousand 660 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 5: and nine still on The cup, Game Matt's talbot with two, 661 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 5: Goals Joe Louis. Arena he just had a feeling it 662 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 5: was meant to be and it was. SPECIAL i, MEAN 663 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 5: i can remember really getting emotional after that. GAME i 664 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 5: wasn't expecting to get, emotional BUT i.
