1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: He gets a snap, here's the kick. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 2: The kick is on its way, and that kick and 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 2: if you can hear from Roary, the crowd here is 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 2: good with seven second remaining at take. 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: For Dad, death taxes and Mike Tomlin. Losing on Thursday nights. 6 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh Steelers last night, dropping their Thursday night football 7 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: game to the Bengals after what looked like a perfect 8 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 2: scenario for them. A new quarterback ushered in just ten 9 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 2: days ago into the offense, their star defensive player was 10 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: out the worst rushing team. 11 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: In the league by a mile, and none of it mattered. 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: Nope, the Pittsburgh Steelers were embarrassed on Thursday night, just 13 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: four days after we started to think, you know what, 14 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: maybe these guys are historic. Well, guess what they were 15 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 2: once again historic bad. Jamar Chase sets a franchise record 16 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: for receptions for the Bengals last night with sixteen. When 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: the game was on the line, he was running free 18 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: with nobody guarding him at all, the guy who'd been 19 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 2: dicing them up all game. 20 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: That's how bad communication was. 21 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 3: Defensively, even when they tried to guard him, they couldn't. 22 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: No, I mean, in their defense. 23 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: They tried not guarding him. Maybe that'll work. Yeah, no, 24 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 3: nothing did. He was undefensible. 25 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 2: He was, he really was. I mean he he is awesome. 26 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: And I have to say, as bad as the Steelers 27 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: defense was, they really didn't pressure Flacco all that much. 28 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: They couldn't stop Chase Brown, who was the lowest in 29 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: the league in yards per game. 30 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: But as bad as they were, Joe Flacco was that good. 31 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: Played out of his mind. Joe Flacco never played that 32 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: good in his life. 33 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: He never threw that many passes pinpoint in his entire career. 34 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. 35 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 4: You know why. 36 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 2: I know, because he didn't miss anything last night. I mean, 37 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: there was like he had like seven drops. 38 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 3: It seemed like, oh yeah, like receivers were dropping the 39 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: ball that that seemed to be our best defense. 40 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: Well have you thought about the fact that the Browns 41 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: drop five on Dylan Gabriel and what might have happened 42 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: had they not in that one? 43 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that they're just they're just idiots 44 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: in this. 45 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 3: Like I as bad as he made us look, he 46 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: made the Browns look even worse. 47 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: He looks like he could take the Browns to the playoffs. 48 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 3: Well, maybe they've already cooked their season, but the Bengals haven't, 49 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 3: and they only had one more win than the Browns. 50 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: I think there's a rationale behind not using Flacoff. You're 51 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: the Browns, and that is you do have to find 52 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: out about Dylan Gabriel because you drafted two quarterbacks. 53 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: You've got to get it because you're the Browns, because 54 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: then you're dumb. 55 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 2: You're so dumb. But to deal him in division, I mean, 56 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: and dumb. Andrew Berry, well dumb from the perspective, you've 57 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: already punted. You've punted on the year. That's I mean, 58 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 2: that's crazy to me. That's the Browns, uh so their owner. 59 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 2: That's why all of their sports talk shows were having 60 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: aneurysms last week. 61 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 3: Like the Ravens, you think they're you think they're mailing 62 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 3: it in on this season. You think the Bengals were 63 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: mailing it in on this season. 64 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: Dude, the Bengals are now thinking about playoffs. 65 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: It's it's crazy that the Browns did that, Like that 66 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 3: was dumb. Kudos to Flacco. I mean, he's cooked us 67 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 3: two years in a row. 68 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: Now. 69 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: He did it in Indy last year. He looked even 70 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: better last night. When you have three hundred and fifty 71 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 3: yards three tuddies. I mean, he looked ridiculous. 72 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: I was thinking we should have signed Troy for that game, 73 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: just to come back. 74 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: And I don't know, you know, like the. 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: Godfather too, when they bring that guy's brother into the courtroom, 76 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: it scares him into the you know, not testifying. 77 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, old guys can't run. But Flack 78 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 3: ran last night. 79 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: Sixteen yard gain on a bootleg I mean on a bootleg. 80 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: Keeper that was just wide. 81 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: Open, absolute ridiculous. And the thing that pisses me off. 82 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: An Abbey and I were just talking about this before 83 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: you walked in the room. They always on the night 84 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 2: games make you stay up till the end, and it's 85 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 2: invariably lost. I want to know what tomlin is seconds left. 86 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: I want to know what Tomlin's record is just in primetime. Seriously, 87 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 2: all these eight o'clock games we end up losing at 88 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: eleven thirty pm. 89 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, and then seven in the Thursday night football games 90 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 5: on road under Tomlin AFC North games. 91 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: Oh AFC North. 92 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just a ridiculous stat He's terrible on Thursday nights. 93 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: I don't know why, you know. 94 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: I wanted to be like, oh, well, you know, they 95 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: left it all out on the field against Cleveland. Like me, 96 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: that game was a lot harder on them physically than 97 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 2: we were giving it credit for, right, But no, I 98 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 2: don't think. 99 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: That was it at all. 100 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: You know, the Bengals had a tough game against Green 101 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 2: Bay the Steelers just first of all, they screwed up 102 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 2: right from the beginning. Tomlin, that statab off was a 103 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 2: fifty six straight games with seven or less points in 104 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: the first quarter consecutively. 105 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: How do you even do that? 106 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 2: They had an opportunity to really put the pedal down 107 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: and they got way too f and Q. 108 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: They were running the ball at will. 109 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: Jalen Warren was ripping off ten yards a run yep, 110 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: and what the hell were they doing trying to go 111 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 2: over the top NonStop? That didn't make any sense to me. 112 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 2: And then the penalty on Frasier. I really thought at 113 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: the time, I'm like, oh God, this is like a 114 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 2: momentum because fourteen nothing is a big, big deal to 115 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 2: overcome because then if it turns into a shootout, you 116 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 2: have the advantage. You're up two scores there too touch down, 117 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: and it did become a shootout, and they they were 118 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: on the wrong side of the timing, And maybe the 119 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: funniest part of last night was that was funny when 120 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: Roger Jones tackled Aaron Rodgers. 121 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: What the hell was he doing? He could have heard 122 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: what a bonehead like? 123 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: I don't he I think he was trying to celebrate 124 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,119 Speaker 2: and he ran after him and jumped on his back 125 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: and tackled Aaron Rodgers. David Baktari, the Baktyari, the former 126 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 2: teammate of Aaron Rodgers, tweeted out, it honestly gets funnier 127 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: the more you watch it. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Rogers was 128 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 2: screaming at Jalen Warren last night over the flea flicker 129 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: that was never supposed. 130 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: Toosed to flicker? Why was that even an option on 131 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: that play? 132 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 6: Like? 133 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: How was that? 134 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I misunderstand the potential roulette wheel of 135 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: opportunity that Arthur Smith gives those guys on uh, you 136 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: know option reads. 137 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: But yea, each play has a bunch of stems on it. 138 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: But but I mean, that can't be there. There's no 139 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 2: reason to do that there. 140 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 3: Why are you doing a flea flicker against an awful 141 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 3: defense that you are dicing in the run games? 142 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: Exactly? 143 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: I think I posted that last night, like why are 144 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 2: we getting tricky with the crappy defense? 145 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: And guess what. 146 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: The defense wasn't good last night after all. I mean, 147 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: we were putting up points at will. It was a 148 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: bit of a chess mass, a chess match. But the 149 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 2: Steelers coaching is a mess, I believe. 150 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: I also think that the Steelers corners were a mess 151 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: last night. Like, you know, we heard Mike talk about this, 152 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: we heard Tomlin talk about it in training camp. We 153 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 3: can cover anybody. That's why we went out and got 154 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: this guys. All day Sligh is half day Slay. He 155 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: cannot He's not the corner that he was. I mean, 156 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: all due respect to what he's done in the league, 157 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 3: he's not that guy anymore. Jalen Ramsey got cooked last night. 158 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 3: And Joey Porter can't keep his hand off the receivers. 159 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: He can't do it. 160 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: There's been some people who've been targeting Joey Porter for 161 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 2: the last couple of years, critics to Joey Porter for 162 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: this very thing. 163 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: You know, Mike said it. 164 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: I think it was even off air actually when we 165 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: were talking about it, and he's like, Joey Porter's a 166 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: really good NFL player. He's not an elite corner, you know. 167 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: Is he trending in that direction? I mean, I don't know. 168 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: He has games where you think, oh man, this guy 169 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: can be huy, you know, And I thought they even 170 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: let him get away with one last night. Yeah, there 171 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 2: were a lot of tads defensively, the Steelers were penalized. 172 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: That was a bad performance from the Pittsburgh Steelers all around. 173 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: I mean, Aaron Rodgers is not immune from the criticism either. 174 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what that arm punt was all about. 175 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: The timing on that was brutal, and then he. 176 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: Threw it inside too. 177 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: If he would have kept it more vertical, closer to 178 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 3: the sideline, maybe it's a DK or bustball. 179 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 2: Terrible threat. It's in the double car. Safety is just 180 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: sitting there, I mean fun. And then the interception when 181 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 2: h DK had it ripped from his arms as he's 182 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 2: going out of bounds, Turner got a knee down there, 183 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: which was a crazy defensive play that I'll chalk up 184 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 2: to that's bad luck and a good defensive play. 185 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 3: That was like the Peyton Wilson interception last year against Baltimore, 186 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 3: where you're like, hell and the hell did you do? 187 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: That well. 188 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 2: I was kind of looking at that TV thinking, how 189 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: the hell are you guys doing this? Both friar mooth 190 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 2: friar Moose gets activated last night. 191 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: I mean we found pat fryar Moose. I guess that's 192 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 3: a class half full kind of take. 193 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 7: Well. 194 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: Roman Wilson even came up with a couple of big 195 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 2: catches and by the way, some combat catches there. 196 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: I liked what I saw from him. But yeah, Moose, 197 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: back on it. 198 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: That last touchdown sixty eight yards Okay, I mean we 199 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: all thought the same thing though, right, way too much 200 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: time on the clock. It would have been better if 201 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: we would have just driven down and eaten up a 202 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: bunch of clock here. 203 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 3: I don't know, I just like to score right now 204 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 3: because I'm just like, I don't trust. 205 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: I couldn't stop them. On the other side. 206 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 2: How many third and longs did Flacco convert yesterday right 207 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: at the beginning of the game. What the hell Like 208 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: there's just not a sense of urgency. It seems like 209 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: with this team. They really look like like a cat 210 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 2: playing with their food in that first quarter when they 211 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: should have just been absolutely devouring them. 212 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 3: I mean, the slants were open all day long, He's like, hey, guys, 213 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 3: all right, I don't know any of the plays. I 214 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 3: just got here like ten days ago. What do you 215 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 3: say we both double slant? You guys like the double slant? 216 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 3: We did it seven times in a row, but maybe, 217 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 3: I mean, they're not going to see it come in 218 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 3: the eighth time. 219 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: How don't you do something defensively to notice that pattern 220 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 2: and do something about it. Flacco said after the game 221 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: last night that he didn't know a lot of the 222 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: plays that were being called. 223 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: He just drop back and found open guys. 224 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 3: And I think that that is a commentary that the 225 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 3: players are more important than the coaches. Like, at the 226 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 3: end of the day, your guys have to go out 227 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 3: there and make plays. You know, you can scheme it 228 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: up all you want. At the end of the day, 229 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 3: can you cover these guys or not? And they couldn't. No, 230 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 3: And from start to finish. 231 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: They called it the unk Bowl last night and the 232 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: white out in Cincinnati, which I don't. 233 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 3: Really They have a ridiculous record in those unis. 234 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: This is Joe Flacco sitting with the broadcasting crew after 235 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: the game, keep. 236 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 4: Talking about the balls to the sidelines of his performance. 237 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: You called your own number you're the only can you 238 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: walk us through the fighters somehow? 239 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 4: You've a little zone recalls and listen, there's a handful 240 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 4: of plays today that I. 241 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: Was like, what is say? 242 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 4: We have these formations that ended at and I was 243 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 4: not getting it. 244 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: That one I read off my wristband. It was correct, 245 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: Jamar lined up on the ball. Don't lined up all 246 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: he was supposed to be. 247 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 4: He was supposed to counter emotion and bluff that end. 248 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, And when he was. 249 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 4: On the ball and the playtop was running down, I 250 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 4: was like, as through it I got, I'm just gonna 251 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 4: hate it all.

It's unbelievable. Uh, That's 256 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: what I mean. 257 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 3: Like, I mean, if a player is just reading something 258 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 3: off his wristband and doing something he hasn't done since 259 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 3: his first year ten days after he joined the theme, 260 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: I mean, you know what are we talking about? 261 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 2: The thing that sucks about it is one that had 262 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 2: been a great game to watch if you had no 263 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 2: skin in the game, the entertainment factor, if you don't 264 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 2: have any blood in that one Thursday Night. 265 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, kudos to those guys they got 266 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 3: they got themselves a good game. 267 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: Those games used to be tracked. 268 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Amazon puts some money into the Thursday night games 269 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 3: and now there's better opponents. 270 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: Well, and somebody told me, did I watched off of 271 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 2: the app?

So if you 276 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 2: were on Twitter, people were signifying what was going on 277 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 2: and you're like, what why is everyone yelling? 278 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: Mouth? And then on your TV? I didn't see that. Okay, 279 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: I heard a couple. 280 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 2: I had a couple of people text me and they're like, 281 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 2: you're tweeting ahead of my TV signal. 282 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's because I'm watching the app. Well, were 283 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: the where the Steelers playing defense on TV? Then? 284 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 3: And then the Bengals were on the app because it 285 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 3: looked like they were running free in the secondary mike 286 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: and there was a little bit of a lag. 287 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 2: Thirty three thirty one Steelers lose Thursday Night Ball, a 288 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: game that could have pretty much. They almost stole it 289 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: from the Bengals and they wouldn't have deserved it. 290 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, but we would have taken it because you know, 291 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 3: like Mike said, those division games short week, it doesn't 292 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 3: matter how you win. As many warts as there would 293 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: have been to talk about after that game, you sneak 294 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 3: out of there with a win. Now you have really 295 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 3: separated yourself in the division, and you got ten days 296 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 3: to fix what ails you. Now you got ten days 297 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 3: to think about how you just gave life to another 298 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 3: division opponent. 299 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 2: How did they get their ass handed to them on 300 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: the defensive line last night against an offensive line that 301 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: has been Swiss cheese and got Joe Burrow knocked out 302 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 2: until December, and Jake Browning was running for his life 303 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 2: half the time. Well, Jake Browning didn't know what the 304 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 2: hell he was doing. That had a big role in 305 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 2: all of that. 306 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 3: And Jake Browning just doesn't have the talent because Joe 307 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 3: Flacco doesn't know what he's doing. 308 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 2: Either, right, but he's good enough and not knowing he 309 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 2: faked there pretty good. 310 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: He faked it pretty good. I don't know. 311 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 3: I mean, it seems like the best strategy when you're 312 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 3: playing against the Steelers is to have your starter on 313 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 3: the offensive line go down the week up because they're like, 314 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 3: oh oh, they are gonna feast and the guy who 315 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 3: we've never heard of off the bench plays. 316 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: Out of his mind and doesn't let any. 317 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: Sacks or your best defensive player. If you can lose 318 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: your best defensive player before you play the Steelers, that 319 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: might help out things. Not taking advantage of that situation. 320 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: This is absolute grist for the mill, for the Tomlin critics. 321 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 3: But that was like an Artie Smith special. I mean 322 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: four tight ends had touchdowns. Yeah, I mean not four, 323 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 3: but four tight end touchdowns. I mean you know Moosehead two. Yeah, well, 324 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 3: there are no Washington fingertips. 325 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 2: I mean he almost got all four of those guys 326 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 2: with TVs last night. 327 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 3: So that was the Artie Smith special. I mean, a 328 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 3: Rod had more time than he's ever had. He looked 329 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 3: incredible as well, like he's running around creating more time 330 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 3: for himself. 331 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: They're doing the scramble drills. 332 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: There was one scramble he had in the first half 333 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 2: where I thought, like he is, he's toast and he 334 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: spun to spun around to the left side and rolled 335 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: out that way. I didn't think he even had that 336 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: much mobility. I mean, if Proderick Jones doesn't kill him, 337 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: he might have a good year. That remains to be seen, 338 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: if these kids don't drive him crazy. That's what it 339 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: looked like. I say, he looked like a dad yelling 340 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 2: at his kids. He's yelling at Warren, He's yelling at 341 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 2: Proderck Dungeon. 342 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: What are you guys doing.

You did 345 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: a pretty cool event before the game last night I did. 346 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 5: It was our inaugural O Mama, which was Charlotte Hayward 347 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 5: and uh, this was super cool because it was about 348 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 5: women in leadership, but it was also very focused on 349 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 5: the women in leadership who were additionally mothers and the 350 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 5: balance of being able to do that which you know 351 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 5: you can. I don't think it's a hyperbolic thing to 352 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 5: say that being a mother is one of the hardest 353 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 5: jobs and it pays the worst out of all of them. 354 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: But these were women who you you pay all the time. 355 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 5: But these were women who were you know, highly established 356 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 5: in their field or CEOs and so we had this 357 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 5: whole panel of women and then again Charlotte Hayward, who 358 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 5: is the executive director of the Hayward House as well, 359 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 5: was there, and so she was also talking about growing 360 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 5: out up as or not growing up I mean in 361 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 5: a way, you know, I always like what Bill says 362 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 5: where he has said that, you know, kids kind of 363 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 5: finished the job of parenting you in a way. 364 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: So maybe that's true. But being a proud NFL. 365 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 5: Mom and raising not only Connor and Cam but also 366 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 5: she has daughter as well.

Yeah, we didn't get any fire of the 424 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 9: coach calls, which surprised me. But people were just crestfallen 425 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 9: because I. 426 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: Think I actually give you and Charlie credit for that. 427 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 3: I think you create the atmosphere on that show where 428 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 3: people respect you, like the callers that are calling in 429 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 3: aren't aren't disrespecting you guys by just going off. 430 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to disrespect the show.

Yeah, yeah, you know. 435 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 9: I mean that's to pull your hair out kind of 436 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 9: game sports that's brought to you by Bridgeville clients that 437 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 9: you know their their disappointment, Uh probably exists on two levels. 438 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: Number one, it was a golden. 439 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 9: Opportunity that they let slip away. Now that part, Hey, 440 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 9: you can understand that that can happen because it's Thursday 441 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 9: night and you're on the road and it's a division game. 442 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 9: The manner in which it slipped away is I don't 443 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 9: know that I have the adjective that the worst NFL 444 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 9: rushing team by far, I mean the Titans are thirty 445 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 9: first and they're twenty five twenty six yards ahead of 446 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 9: the Bengals in rushing per game. 447 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: That that they threw up one hundred at halftime. 448 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 9: That could dictate. Yeah, that was Chase Brown, not Derrick Henry, 449 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 9: and it ran through the Pittsburgh Steelers. 450 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 2: And you went right down the field on the first 451 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 2: drive and scored, had an opportunity to go up fourteen 452 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 2: to nothing. I don't like I think they got over 453 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 2: their skis a bit, thinking like we got this one. 454 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 2: It felt a little tortoise in the hair in the 455 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: first half, and then they got scared at halftime into 456 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: realizing they were in a shootout. 457 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 9: They certainly had a chance. I was trying to make 458 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 9: this point last night. I mean, everybody's just killing the defense, 459 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 9: and to fiably so. But instead of ten nothing, that 460 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 9: could have been fourteen seventeen twenty one nothing before the 461 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 9: Bengals kind of found themselves and that game would have 462 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 9: played out differently if it had been fourteen twenty one 463 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 9: to nothing. And it was self inflicted wounds on a 464 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 9: part of the Steelers, the flea flicker series where they 465 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 9: ended interceptions. Yes, can't false start on a toush push 466 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 9: Oh yeah. 467 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: Can you just line up and give it to Warren? 468 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: They were running some win four in. 469 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 9: He went forward on fourth and goal, fourth and one 470 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 9: from the eighteen. He wanted a touchdown, not a field goal. Bravo, 471 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 9: Just knock him off the ball. Yep, you're not a 472 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 9: toush push team. You're not that good at He only 473 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 9: did it well once before and then penalty field goal. 474 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 9: That kind of stuff adds up where you're playing a 475 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 9: combustible offense. And the point I was trying to make 476 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 9: before the game was the Flacco makes them a combustible offense. 477 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. He activates the receivers. 478 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 9: We've seen the old guy who knows what he's doing 479 00:23:58,760 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 9: and still has an arm. 480 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: It works. Yeah. 481 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 9: So you put that in with t Higgins and Jamar Chase, 482 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 9: and I mean Jamar Chase had the most receptions, yards 483 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 9: and touchdown receptions in the NFL last year for a reason. 484 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: He won the Triple Crown, which he wear. Yeah. Everybody's 485 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: tried every adjustment there is to try. He's just better. Yeah. 486 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 9: It was better than Jalen Ramsey last night. But their 487 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 9: defense should have been the worst unit on the field, 488 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 9: and the Steelers didn't exploit that enough. 489 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: I think that Turner kid had a hell of a game, 490 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: all right. 491 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 2: Explain to me how we can get anybody else open 492 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 2: early in that game where it was like Aaron, it 493 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 2: was really the third quarter that it seemed like they 494 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 2: stifled them for a second. I think they got a 495 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 2: little too enamored with going for the deep ball there 496 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: with Aaron Rodgers when they should have just been eating 497 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 2: up clock and running the ball. 498 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 9: Well, I think he missed on the one that got intercepted, intercepted. 499 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: It was single covered punt. 500 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 9: He's got to throw that outside now that Rogers missed 501 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 9: his ball placement because up the sideline, the safety looking 502 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 9: at it from behind the Steelers formation. The safety was 503 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 9: on the right hash, which means he can't get. 504 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: To the sideline. But if you throw it to Metcalfs. 505 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 9: Right as he's running down the field as opposed to 506 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 9: his left, now he's in play and he was. That 507 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 9: one's on Rogers, Yeah, the one where Turner ripped the 508 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 9: ball out of Metcalf's hands. 509 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: Are you f and kidding me? That's it, that's you play. 510 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 9: You had the ball in your They again, another single 511 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 9: covered shot. He took it. They hit it there's gonna 512 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 9: be points scored there, and that guy rips the ball 513 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 9: out of your hands. 514 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 3: He also took a shot on that play, which might 515 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 3: be the only reason that guy was able to get 516 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 3: it from his hands. 517 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: Can't happen. I can't happen. They never did that to 518 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: your chase. 519 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 9: And the other thing, the defense could not come up 520 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 9: with the turnover a turnover or the turnovers. 521 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: You know, they give up yards the turnovers or the. 522 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 9: Eraser, and their formula by now for how they win 523 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 9: is pretty well established. 524 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: They got to get turnovers. 525 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 2: Well, and they've always been a bend, but they don't break. 526 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 2: And they kept breaking and they kept breaking. 527 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 3: That's why I really don't love the defense being predicated 528 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 3: on the turnover, because if you come up across the 529 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 3: team that protects the ball, it looks like that. 530 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, Flacco was awesome last night. I'll just keep 531 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 2: saying it. He was awesome. He was really good. And 532 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 2: also they were embarrassingly bad defensively because they should have 533 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 2: never let them establish any sort of running game that 534 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 2: allowed them to be two dimensional. 535 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 9: Correct And if then if you have a bigger lead 536 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 9: than you had a ten to nothing, which you should 537 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 9: have and if now and if they're one dimension like 538 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 9: they should have been, I bet it wouldn't have looked 539 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 9: like that. 540 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: But uncle, yeah, so. 541 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 9: They gotta you know, maybe it's the best thing that 542 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 9: could have happened to them, in a warped kind of 543 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 9: way because they have to sit on this now for 544 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 9: a while. Yes, if if they'd have got that last 545 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,239 Speaker 9: defensive stop and snuck out of there with a w 546 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 9: we still be talking about the same stuff, but the 547 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 9: kind of vibe would be, oh boy, we almost lost 548 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 9: that one. But we're pretty good. You know, we got 549 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 9: control of the division. Is they gotta they gotta get 550 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 9: this defense figured out and the offense. Until they do, 551 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 9: it's got great potential with Aaron Rodgers depth a receiver 552 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 9: being what. 553 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: It is, four tight end touchdowns last night. You know 554 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: who cares the scores. 555 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 3: You know, but I'm saying that that's that shows you 556 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 3: that they do have depth, just not at the receiver position. 557 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 9: Rogers wasn't perfect last night, and that's one of the 558 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 9: reasons why they lost. 559 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: It's down on the list. He's down on the list, 560 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: but he but they got him. 561 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 9: Man, he's real, Like you got to take advantage of 562 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 9: She's probably gonna have this guy for one year. 563 00:27:58,760 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: He gives, he gives. 564 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 2: He actually looked mobile last night, not you know, Lamar Jackson, 565 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 2: but you know, oh. 566 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: The one touchdown he flush left bootlegs right yeah, waits 567 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: waits waits John Am. 568 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 2: He did that on a first down throw to h 569 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 2: I mean I think it was John who also on 570 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 2: that one where he was just. 571 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: Running around forever running around. 572 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 2: Moved him over. But like he's got the ability, no question. 573 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 2: I think last night they just got a little too 574 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 2: confident too early and then allowed the shootout to happen 575 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 2: as soon as they got on that hamster wheel. Then 576 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 2: it's a matter of timing. And when you're the one 577 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 2: behind and you have to come from behind, you have 578 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: to have the ball last. 579 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 580 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 9: And you know when you play the Joe Burrow Bengals, 581 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 9: you think we got to beat these guys thirty eight 582 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 9: thirty five, Well those were the Joe Burrow Bengals because 583 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 9: the Joe Flacco Bengals. 584 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: Were the same. Yes, that is remarkable. I'm still impressed. 585 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 3: I mean, the guy just played two games and five 586 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 3: days after joining the team ten days ago. 587 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he dones for three and three tunnies come on. 588 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 2: It's gonna go down as one of those games that 589 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 2: everybody remembers because of Flacco's performance last night. Let's do 590 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: a quick break, well come he was brilliant, he was 591 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 2: We're gonna do a quick break come back, and we'll 592 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: get to all the postgames. 593 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: Sound here. 594 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 2: Mike pursued it with us here as we recount last 595 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 2: night's Thursday night loss for your Pittsburgh Steelers. 596 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: Guy Junker joins us later in rob King and Abby. 597 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 2: We're not going to give short shrift to the big 598 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 2: news in the classic rock world. 599 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 5: This one hurts made deeply.

One of two point five DVE 609 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 2: got flatoed last night. The team was flat, defense looked 610 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 2: like they were asleep, and offensively, I just think they 611 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 2: had too much of a split personality early in the 612 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,959 Speaker 2: game when they should have had a killer's mentality and 613 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: stepped on their throat when they had the opportunity to 614 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 2: well know, was. 615 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 9: The fleet flicker trying to step on their throat? 616 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: Well well, I was asking this earlier, Mike. 617 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 2: I'm not sure how that's even in an option of 618 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 2: possibilities on that play. 619 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 9: As I understand it, This was according to Ryan Fitzpatrick 620 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 9: at halftime, and then Charlie thought the same thing last night. 621 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: They were gonna run it, and then Rogers called. 622 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 9: It off because they didn't get to look they wanted 623 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 9: and everybody got the call with Greg. 624 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: Warren or Jalen Warren a war. 625 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 2: That seemed obvious that you know, Jalen and Aaron Rodgers 626 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 2: weren't on the same page. My question is, when the 627 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 2: defense is that bad and you are having no problem 628 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 2: moving the ball, why are we resorting the trickery? 629 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: Would you pull an onside kick too? 630 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 4: Well? 631 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 9: But again, and what they weren't supposed to it. It 632 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 9: was called initially, but they called it off. I know, 633 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 9: But why are you even calling it initially? 634 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: If Smith because you think you're gonna get a touchdown? 635 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's getting too cute by half. 636 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 9: You can't say they were too conservative and then bitch 637 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 9: because they were too cute. 638 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: It's one or the other. I don't think they were 639 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: too conservative. 640 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 9: I thought that's the point you were making, that they 641 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 9: didn't step on the gas and put them away early. 642 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: We I think we're just arguing which way you put 643 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: them away. The reason they didn't put them away is 644 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: because they. 645 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 2: Were squandering series by doing stuff like that, and they 646 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 2: had an opportunity there with a methodical drive, eating up 647 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 2: cloth and really demoralize them. Momentum matters, even in the 648 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 2: first half, no question. 649 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 9: I'm just saying, if you know, you look for certain 650 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 9: things on tape and tape they're in this. We can 651 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 9: do that. Then if you don't get it, you have 652 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 9: plan B. And if you have a pro quarterback, he's 653 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 9: able to ascertain whether you should do it or not. 654 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,239 Speaker 9: Jalen Warren played his ass off again. He did, But 655 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 9: you can't miss that call, like, what are you doing? 656 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: I mean that's what Aaron Rodgers was asking him. Yeah, 657 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: professional football. Everybody else heard it. 658 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 2: I mean, oh boy, frustrating night. To put it mildly, what. 659 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 3: Did Jalen Warren end up with on the ground, He 660 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 3: looked like he had. I mean, I know we had 661 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 3: over one hundred I. 662 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: Think bucks seventeen. 663 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 2: Let's see what at one point I thought he was 664 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 2: going to have like one hundred and buck twenty seven 665 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 2: average seven point nine per carry. 666 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: Incredible. 667 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 9: They ran for one hundred and forty seven yards and 668 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 9: average seven point four yards per rush. Aaron Rodgers threw 669 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 9: for four touchdowns and they lost the game. 670 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: It's crazy. This is on the defense, no question. 671 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 2: Uh, Jacob, you want to throw those sound bites back up. 672 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: There, please give it at the thumbs up. I don't 673 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: see them. Okay, now they're up there, Okay. 674 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 9: Steelers collapse in Cincinnati was an abject failure on multiple levels. 675 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 9: We agree on that, but it's not who they are. 676 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 9: Mike Tomlin insisted. 677 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 6: You know, the first half, we allowed him to run 678 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 6: the ball too much. I think they had about one 679 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 6: hundred yards rushing at the half, and then we turned 680 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 6: the ball over a couple times, and so that just 681 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 6: kind of set a negative trajectory and we're fighting uphill 682 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 6: the rest of away. I certainly appreciate the fight, but man, 683 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 6: we got to be cleaner, we got to be better, 684 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 6: and we weren't tonight and that's life in this business. 685 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 6: We certainly got to learn from it, man and keep pushing. 686 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, they did. 687 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 9: It was ninety seven yards rushing in the first half 688 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 9: of the Bengals on nine carries, and that kind of 689 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 9: set the tone. 690 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: Ten to nothing. 691 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 9: Herbstreet's making comments such as the Cincinnati pass rush has 692 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 9: non existent and they're seemingly in complete control at the 693 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 9: outset and then let it get away. We weren't able to 694 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 9: build on the lead and weren't able to run and 695 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 9: cover with anybody, at least not anybody that was wearing 696 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 9: white last night. 697 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 2: Well, my frustration with them not you know, putting the 698 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 2: hammer down there in the first half wouldn't have mattered 699 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 2: if they didn't allow them to score at will. On defense, 700 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 2: they just they could not stop the Bengals at any point. 701 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 2: Would they have won punt last night? 702 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 9: They had three, but they punted the first two times 703 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 9: they had the football, and then they scored on seven 704 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 9: of eight possessions, including six in a row. 705 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,479 Speaker 2: What did you think of Tomlin's punting the fourth quarter 706 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 2: from the like midfield area, they're fourth and four. 707 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: I'd have gone because you couldn't stop them, right, Yeah, yeah, 708 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: I couldn't stop. He's done that. You know what he 709 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: you know who? He did that against Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. 710 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 9: If this, well, that was the I'm ahead and I'm 711 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 9: gonna try an on side kick anyway game because at 712 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 9: least they'll score quick or not exactly. 713 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 1: If this was back then, when you could do. 714 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 9: That kind of thing, I'd have done it last night 715 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 9: after the Friarman was touched down. But now you got 716 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 9: to declare it, so you got to tell them it's 717 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 9: coming right. There's no more surprise on side, which is 718 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,919 Speaker 9: a really horrifically stupid role. 719 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: I kickoffs suck. Now. 720 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 2: It's making people safer. I get that, and that's good 721 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 2: for the sport. 722 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 9: I guess how often does surprise on side come up? 723 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 9: Is that really saving lives. 724 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 6: Now? 725 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 9: And are the collisions really so violent when the people 726 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 9: are ten yards away and the ball goes eleven yards? 727 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 3: I think that the on side kick is completely a 728 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 3: different play altogether than a regular kickoff. If you're doing 729 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 3: an on side kick, it's basically that short range anyways 730 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 3: that they're trying to do with the new kickoff style. 731 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: I don't know why you have to declare it to 732 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: me that takes it because you have to line up, 733 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,240 Speaker 1: you have to line up differently. 734 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know what I mean, you have to 735 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 2: declare it because you literally need to have your gunners. 736 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: Aligned with the kicker. Yeah. 737 00:35:54,440 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 2: Here's the inarguable point. In arguable point for the NFL 738 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 2: in the dynamic kickoffs, that point of it. 739 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 1: So never mind. 740 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 9: Well, yeah, yeah, I wish it was still a thing. 741 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 9: Is the kickoff was fine? 742 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't just surprise it because it would be 743 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,320 Speaker 2: the kicker key to himself behind all of his gunners. 744 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: Pretty good, shit, you get it good way that they 745 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,720 Speaker 1: line up. Now, oh my god, they did it again. 746 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 2: According to the NFL, last year, in the first year 747 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 2: of dynamic kickoffs, a forty three percent reduction in concussions. 748 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: That's huge, according to the NFL. 749 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's like Netflix says more people watch you know, 750 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,919 Speaker 2: Stranger Things than any other TV. 751 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: However, who said so we do. 752 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 2: However, if that's even remotely true, I mean, that's that's 753 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 2: a pretty big number. 754 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: It is, but it does suck. 755 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 3: But if you're if it's coming down to an on 756 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 3: side kick against a team like the Bungos who are 757 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 3: down and out and had to just go get a 758 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 3: quarterback and have no defense at all, you're in a 759 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 3: bad spot, right, Yeah, I mean they shouldn't need that 760 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 3: to win a game. 761 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 9: That's kind of how Cincinnati games play out, though, Like 762 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 9: the Packer game. 763 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 1: Flacco led them to. 764 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 9: Three consecutive scores in the second half of green Bay, 765 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 9: but they let green Bay score every time. Like, you 766 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 9: just got to keep scoring on those guys. They're they're 767 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 9: worse than your defense, Like you know what I mean. 768 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, in theory, no doubt, and. 769 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,319 Speaker 3: Statistically, and that's the way it played out last year 770 00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 3: with Russ. 771 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: That's why like opportunities lost. Man, you you risk what 772 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 1: we saw last night. You just can't turn the ball over. 773 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 9: You know, if they scored thirty five, you gotta score 774 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 9: thirty eight. If they scored thirty eight, you got to 775 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 9: score forty one. That's how you beat the Bengals when 776 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 9: they have a good quarterback, and last night. 777 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: They had they had the better quarterback, They had the 778 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: better quarterback. 779 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 3: Cannot turn the ball over against the Bengals. You can't 780 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 3: give that team extra possessions. You just can't. 781 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 9: Yeah, and plus because you cost yourself points, right, wouldn't 782 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 9: do it the way the Steelers did it. Defense got 783 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 9: run three and thrown over. 784 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 1: But as t. J. 785 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 9: Watt explained, they had a chance. Jake, let's cut to 786 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 9: three here and do the TJ. 787 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: Watt thing. 788 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 9: Uh, they had a chance to save the day, but 789 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 9: couldn't do that either. 790 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: It's not always gonna be your night. 791 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 4: But you'd like to think that through all of the 792 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 4: training and practice and everything that we put in that 793 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 4: when we need to stop the most, we should be 794 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 4: able to get a stop. 795 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: And wasn't able tonight. And that's what I was kind 796 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: of referencing. 797 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 9: Uh, you know, if you want to search for silver linings, 798 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 9: and if you do, you got to look hard, and 799 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 9: you got to look a long time. But you know, 800 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 9: they the defense saved the Jets game at the end, 801 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,359 Speaker 9: remember the Ramsey hit. Almost had a bad day, but 802 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 9: got the last stop and preserved the win. 803 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: Same thing against New England. 804 00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 9: The Patriots moved up and down, but they kept knocking 805 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:52,919 Speaker 9: the ball out and falling on fumbles. The Minnesota game 806 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 9: got close, but they got the last stop. Okay, this 807 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,879 Speaker 9: time you didn't get to stop. So how about fix 808 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 9: your problems So you're maybe in this prop in this 809 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 9: same situation as often as you are where it comes 810 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 9: down to having to stop somebody to sneak out with 811 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 9: a dub. 812 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: All right, Abby, We're going to pay tribute to a 813 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: legend when we come back ace Freely.

Here's Tom Opperman. 819 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 11: A shootout broke out in Cincinnati Thursday night between the 820 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 11: Steelers and Bengals. The two teams combined for sixty four 821 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 11: total points and for eight hundred and sixty six total 822 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 11: yards of offense as the Steelers were upset by Cincy 823 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 11: thirty three to thirty one in a game that was 824 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 11: dubbed the Icy Hot Bowl. Featuring two starting quarterbacks over 825 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 11: the age of forty for just the third time in 826 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,000 Speaker 11: NFL history, it was the old timers at quarterback who 827 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 11: stole the show. Aaron Rodgers threw for two hundred and 828 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 11: forty nine yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions, while Joe 829 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 11: Flacco threw for three hundred and forty two yards and 830 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 11: three touchdowns with no interceptions. The story of the game 831 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 11: was no doubt the inability of the Steelers defense to 832 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 11: stop Cincinnati's rushing at time, which entered the game as 833 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 11: the worst rushing offense in the NFL, and their inability 834 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 11: to slow down star wide receiver Jamar Chase in any 835 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 11: way whatsoever, since he put up one hundred and forty 836 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 11: two yards on the ground as a team, one hundred 837 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 11: and eight of them coming from Chase Brown, who averaged 838 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,719 Speaker 11: an incredible nine point eight yards per carry. Jamar Chase 839 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 11: was targeted a jaw dropping twenty three times by Joe Flacco, 840 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 11: by far, the most targets the receiver has had in 841 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 11: the NFL this season, catching sixteen of them for one 842 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 11: hundred and sixty one yards in one touchdown. As the 843 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 11: Steelers just had no answers for the All Pro Triple 844 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 11: Crown winning wide receiver.
