1 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: The man who usually hosts this show, Mark Madden. In 2 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: case you're curious and confused, I'm Tim Ben's in for Mark. 3 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: Mark Offin says that Mike Tomlin would rather be right 4 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: than win. Well, last night, Tomlin was proven right about 5 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, and he's sure as hell didn't win. In fact, 6 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: as the hours get further and further away from that 7 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: thirty three to thirty one defeat in Cincinnati, I'm starting 8 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: to wonder if Tomlin ended up losing and being right 9 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: ironically all at the same time and hurting his team's 10 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: chances of winning as a net result. Expanded covers of 11 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: The Mark Madden Show is backed by the personal injury 12 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: experts Shnderovitch, Shnderovitch and Fishman. 13 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: They've got your back, not your wallet. 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: And if you bet on the Steelers last night, you 15 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: are a lot lighter in the wallet. 16 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: And I think you're pretty light. 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: In the head, because if you couldn't see at the 18 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: very least a ball breaking, headbanging, hand ringing, tooth gnashing victory, 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: if you couldn't forecast at least that probably happening for 20 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: the Steelers in Cincinnati, then you just haven't been paying attention. 21 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: To how the Steelers operate within the division, on the road, 22 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football, or basically at all in the entire 23 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: Tomlin era. As soon as it starts to look really 24 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: really good, you start to feel really really bad. And 25 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how you can feel good about what 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: you saw last night, not just for one night, but 27 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: for moving forward as well. 28 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: Tommy Radio joins me. 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: Right now, tom let's just get right into it, because, 30 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: as I talked about with Mike Decorsi on my Friday 31 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: Football show on the Tribli Facebook stream and on YouTube. 32 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: I wrote about it there too. 33 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: I feel like this whole Mike Tomlin obsession with Joe 34 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: Flacco that coalesced with his comments about Andrew Berry during 35 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: his Monday press conference this week. The way that that 36 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: defense played last night, it's almost like Tomlin's discussion about 37 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: Flacco manifested the defensive result that we saw, or, if 38 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: you want to look at it a different way, the 39 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: defense's inability to string together three good games manifested what 40 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: Tomlin was worried about into being right. I don't know 41 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: how else to look at it. I'm just so obsessed 42 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: on that one point. It's like Tomlin spoke Thursday Night's 43 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: reality Tomlin spoke Thursday Night's result into happening on Monday. 44 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 2: Am I wrong about that? No, You're absolutely right. 45 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 3: It's honestly hilarious that it played out this way, that 46 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin showed his hand a little bit, a little 47 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 3: bit of fear when it comes to Joe Flacco being 48 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 3: the quarterback, and then Flacco went out and delivered what 49 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin feared. And I don't I haven't seen the 50 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 3: exact number yet, but it felt to me like they 51 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 3: were blitzing a little bit less right. 52 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: It felt to me like they. 53 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 3: Were kind of going into more of a conservative They're 54 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: gonna get the ball out quick, so let's emphasize coverage 55 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 3: as opposed to pressure. Just picked them apart. That's kind 56 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: of the same thing that happened in the Colts game 57 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: last year with Joe Flacco. 58 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 1: Well, if you're gonna do that, then why have Nick 59 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: Herbig only played thirty eight percent of the snap? So 60 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: unless we're going to find out that he's hurt, which 61 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: we can't rule that out with his history, but. 62 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: That's my point. 63 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 3: It's like, why did you get away from that chaotic 64 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: pass rush that has really been allowing your defense to 65 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 3: play elite because of that. It all starts there. And 66 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: again I'm not an idiot. I know Flaco was getting 67 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: It was like two point four to four seconds. I 68 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: think I saw was this time to throw the ball? 69 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 3: I mean, you can still get to a quarterback in 70 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 3: that amount of time more often than this. 71 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: Well, then your grand experiment in the secondary has failed 72 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: because that this game is why it was put together, 73 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: and that was a failure. 74 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: And do you think they were leaning on that a 75 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: little bit too, where it was like, we don't need 76 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: to supply the pass rush and create that chaos. We 77 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: can emphasize help in coverage and Flacco will just be 78 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: lost because our corners are good anyway, and they'll shut 79 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 3: down those receivers. I wonder if that's what they went 80 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 3: into the game thinking. And I see people really complaining 81 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 3: a lot about adjustment. So how do you let Chase 82 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 3: keep burning you? How come you couldn't adjust in the secondary? 83 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: Oh they did. I mean they threw every coverage they 84 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: possibly could think of. At the Bengals Double Flo talked 85 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: about it. Yeah, on the post games. They were changing 86 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 3: it all up. They were trying different things, and none 87 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 3: of it was working. Which is kind of scarier when 88 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 3: you think about it, that it wasn't like a coaching thing. 89 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 3: It was just the players out there getting cooked. But 90 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 3: I will say I think they should have adjusted at 91 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: halftime to more of a let's send six or seven 92 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 3: at Flacco. You know, let's put our guys on an island. 93 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 3: It's a little tenuous with how good Chase was in 94 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: that first half, but we got to get Flacco off 95 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: the spot. I mean, he's just one two step and 96 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 3: hits easy throws for him. 97 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: As Rogers is proving behind the Steelers offensive line. And 98 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: by the way, the best tackle of the night was 99 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: Broderick Jones on Aaron Rodgers was celebrating going to the sideline. 100 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: At least Broderick Jones made his impact. Note, Well, he 101 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: had as many tackles as TJ. Watt, so give him 102 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 1: credit for that. And actually I think DK Metcalf literally 103 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: did have more tackles than TJ. Watt on the two 104 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: interception picks. But what Rogers has proven is that you 105 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: can be accurate in two point five seconds and move 106 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: an offense and score beyond what your usual yardage totals indicate. 107 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 2: I've gone through the numbers with you. 108 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how many times where they're twenty ninth, 109 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: thirty first, twenty fifth, twenty seventh, whatever in the league 110 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: and rushing, passing in total yards, and then they are 111 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: right in the middle of the pack an average team 112 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL in scoring at like twenty four points 113 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: per game, which actually went up last night. 114 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 2: So he's proven that. 115 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: But there's a big difference between I can be accurate, 116 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: get the ball out on time, and hit my guy 117 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: how I want to hit my guy when like you're saying, 118 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: bring six or seven, cover with everybody else who's ever left, 119 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: even if you gotta throw a safety on somebody. Yes, 120 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: and if the pass rush is getting there in one 121 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 1: point five, he's got to get rid of it even quicker. 122 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: And maybe it's not accurate, maybe it does go over 123 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: the receiver's head, or it bounces, or it gets picked off. 124 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: If a quarterback sees. 125 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: The house coming, he's not gonna be comfortable enough to 126 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: even wait two point five. 127 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: He's gonna get it out quicker than that. 128 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: So yes, I agree with you, But like I can't 129 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: remember which quarter it was, and I want to say 130 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: it was in the second quarter. I might be wrong 131 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: on that, but they had a shot from behind Flaco 132 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: for an end zone camera behind Flacco, and they showed 133 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: kind of like a delayed blitz that the Steelers were 134 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: running where Elliott came in between the gap of the 135 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: left guard and the left tackle, so the left side 136 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: of the offensive line. He's attacking the left side of 137 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: the offensive line from the defense's right side. 138 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: He comes in, he blitzes. 139 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: And then Queen sort of runs this delay blitz behind it, 140 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: like he was kind of showing coverage and then blitzing 141 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: in behind it. But it was way too late and 142 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: way too long. 143 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: Not necessary. Against Joe, it was. 144 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: Almost like, Okay, he was gonna read wherever they picked 145 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: up Elliott, he was gonna come in from the other hole. 146 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: I like that against the quarterbacks. He got rid of 147 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 3: the ball, That's what I'm saying. I like that against 148 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 3: the quarterback, like three seconds holding onto the ball, Dylan Gabriel, 149 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 3: he's looking at it through his progressions. Yeah, exactly. That's 150 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 3: not gonna work against Joe Flacco. He's one read to read. 151 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: I gotta get rid of this thing. And that's all 152 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 3: he was thinking about in that game. And every time 153 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: it was usually just one read and I'm gonna throw 154 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: it to that one read Jamar Chase, whether he's open 155 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: or not, twenty three targets. I still can't get over that. 156 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: He was just Chase Chase, Chase Chase every single time. 157 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: And how many times do you think he really was open. 158 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: On those twenty three targets? Probably like half of them. No, no, no, no, 159 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 2: I think he was open more than that. 160 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: Oh okay, see, I bet she was probably open thirty 161 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: or thirty five times. But T was open more on 162 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: given plays or Yoshi vas was open more on. 163 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: The Joey Porter Junior. Your thing with t Higgins just 164 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 3: does not work. Last year he got like eighteen defensive 165 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: pass interferences. He got a couple more in this game. 166 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 3: He got cooked a couple times in this game. Like 167 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: they love this idea of Joey's gonna take te Higgins out. 168 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 3: I like that size matchup, it just does not work. 169 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: Higgins eats him for lunch. 170 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: One thing I worried about going into this game and 171 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: it was proven true, was it does look like Jalen 172 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: Ramsey is a great piece to have on the defense. 173 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: He is great at blitzing and creating chaos. He can 174 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: play multiple positions. He's a tough look and a tough matchup. 175 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: You don't know exactly what kind of chess piece you're 176 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: dealing with here. 177 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: Is he a rook? Is he a knight? Is he 178 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: a queen? Is he a king? 179 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: You know, like, you don't know what you're looking at 180 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: necessarily when you stare across and you see what Ramsey 181 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: is doing. There's a little polamalu element to all of that. 182 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: So it is intriguing in that regard. But the one 183 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: thing he does, if you're ranking his skills, strangely enough, 184 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: you probably have to go way down the list before 185 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: you get to pure coverage guy anymore. 186 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 2: At this point in his career, there was he saw 187 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 2: that against Seattle. 188 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: There was a time when he was really elite at that, 189 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 3: but that time has come and gone. 190 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: Which is being a flat out coverage guy, I'm gonna 191 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: take you away, and doesn't exist, not anymore. And we 192 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: saw that come to fruition last night, because I think 193 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: some of what they were trying to do was let 194 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: him battle with Chase and then throw coverage elsewhere. But 195 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: even when they try to do that, and they actually 196 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: another shot that they showed from behind Flacco and This 197 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: is the one that Flacco I was referencing before when 198 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: he was sitting on the desk on the Amazon Prime video. 199 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: Uh recap with the eight million people that. 200 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 2: They have every day? 201 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: Was it Whitworth, Gonzales, Richard and Ryan Fitzpatrick? 202 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: Correct? Did fits take a shirt off? He likes to 203 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 2: do that. 204 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: I didn't notice him to take a shirt off, But 205 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: I'm older than Fitzpatrick. He actually might be Flacco maybe 206 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: over the least right there with him neck and neck. Well, 207 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: that's not the first person I'd pick on that desk 208 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: to take their shirt off. 209 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: Witworth, is what you're saying, obviously, of course. 210 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, But they were drawing up this play and you 211 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: remember it. We went for thirty seven yards where there 212 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: were these complaints already within like ten minutes after the 213 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: press conference, with Tomlin saying, when did you really double 214 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: cover Jalen excuse me, Jamar Chase, when did you really 215 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: cover Chase with two people? And when did you really 216 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: cover t Higgins with two people at the same time? 217 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: Because he insisted he did that. Well, they found it 218 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: right away. Is the Yoshi vas catch he connected for? Yeah, 219 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: for thirty seven yards. They drew that right back up 220 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,599 Speaker 1: again and you could see it. I think Fitzpatrick was 221 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: the one that diagnosed it. It was two guys on tea, 222 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: two guys on Jamar, and then Yoshivas just ran right 223 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: down the middle. And Flacco said they were waiting for 224 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: it with baited breath, like he couldn't wait for them 225 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: to do it, And. 226 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: When they had the right personnel on the field, when 227 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 2: they decided to do it, they just hit Yoshivas for 228 00:10:59,480 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: a big game. 229 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 3: I loved the Flacco quote from his postgame presser at 230 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 3: the podium, not at the Amazon Prime desk, where he 231 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: was like, you know, I'm still you know, a little confused. 232 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 3: Like sometimes the call was coming in and I was 233 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 3: like foggy. My brain wasn't putting together, like what the 234 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 3: formation was, and I'd break the huddle and I'd go 235 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 3: to the line and I'd be like, I don't think 236 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 3: we're in the right thing here. It's like, it was 237 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 3: like funny enough every time that happened to play hit, just. 238 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: Like every time we didn't know what the hell we 239 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: were doing, we took it for like fifteen yards. Well 240 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: that's great Steelers defense. That's really telling of how good 241 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: you are. Two things on that how can he overcome confusion? 242 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: And the Steelers are paralyzed by it all the time. 243 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 3: Like all every time there's the slightest curveball thrown at them, it's. 244 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: Like, what do we do? 245 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: What do we do? What do we do? 246 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 2: What do we do? 247 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: It's buffering, buffering, buffering, and they freeze? All right, So 248 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: there's that. I draw that conclusion from what he said. 249 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: I also draw this conclusion from what he said. It 250 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter how much you know the playbook if 251 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: you're a veteran quarterback and alluding to what you said earlier, 252 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: if you're in there for two point five seconds, and 253 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: as a quarterback, that feels like a week and a 254 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: half because the game has just slowed down for you. 255 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: You just sit there and wait for two elite wide 256 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: receivers to get open, you know, Which is why I 257 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: always tend to bring the conversation back to what the 258 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: Steelers don't have, which is another wide receiver besides DK. Now, 259 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: the collective of the tight ends came through last night. 260 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: It did specifically Friarmuth. Friarmuth against the Cincinnati Bengals is 261 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,359 Speaker 1: akin to Albert. 262 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 2: Poolholes against the Pirates. 263 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he or as Brian Metzer pointed out to 264 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: me on social media, Alexey Morozov against the New Jersey Devils, 265 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: he just tortures him every time. Now knowing the Steelers though, 266 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: he'll just be putting mothballs again. 267 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 2: Until the next time they will sit it. 268 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 3: It comes to town in a few weeks, yes, correct, 269 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 3: whatever that is, I forget when that's a month from now, 270 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 3: about a month, okay, exactly, So Pat, just take a 271 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 3: month off, put yourself on the four week ir take 272 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 3: a break, and come back in great shape and put 273 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 3: up two hundred on them and four touchdowns. 274 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: Then. I mean like the collective of the tight ends 275 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: was good. It was good. 276 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 3: And they treated Pat like a like a wide receiver too. 277 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 3: He had six targets better they were downfield targets. 278 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 2: They have to be. 279 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, And now the stats are a little bit skewed 280 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 3: because of the sixty eight yarder that he had, but whatever, 281 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 3: you can't just take that away from him. 282 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: It happened. 283 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 3: It was a great play from Rodgers and from Friarmouth. 284 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 3: Last year they got in the shootout with Cincinnati and 285 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow. Right, Russell Wilson throws for all those yards 286 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 3: and it's like, Wow, where did this offense come from? 287 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: Let's roll with that moving forward. Everybody thought that, except 288 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 3: for the Steelers' coaching staff. He was like, WHOA, wait 289 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 3: a minute, Let's not just go crazy and play offense 290 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 3: all of a sudden. 291 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 2: That's not what we do here in Pittsburgh. 292 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 3: Okay, so you just saw Pat Farriarmouth this year be 293 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 3: a wide receiver too to DK Metcalf in this game. 294 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 3: Everybody's probably thinking, well, let's just carry that over into 295 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 3: green Bay. I guarantee the coaching staff's gonna do what 296 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 3: you said, though I'll be like, whoa, I mean, that's 297 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 3: just matchup specific again, since Green Bay is not a 298 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 3: Pat Friarmouth game. 299 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 2: Come on, guys, don't be stupid out there. 300 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: I want to come back and talk about one specific 301 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: thing with Pat Fryarmuth. 302 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: When we return. 303 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the offense in general, because 304 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: clearly this is a day where the defense is going 305 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: to be berated, and they should. But I don't want 306 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: to leave the offense off the hook entirely. We'll expand 307 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: on some of those thoughts when we come back. Tim 308 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: Ben's in for Mark Madden. This is one of five 309 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: nine the x iHeartRadio ALTERI presented my Capitol Law Sick. 310 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: We finished the last segment talking about the Steelers offense 311 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: a little bit and Pat Fryarmuth specifically, can I nip 312 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: one thing in the bud? Here? On Pat Fryarmuth and 313 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: the conversation from yesterday's game? 314 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: Do you know where I'm going with this? 315 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: Pat Fryarmuth should not have gone down and taken a 316 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: knee out of the goal line. 317 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 2: It's the dumbest narrative. 318 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of dumb narratives actually floating around 319 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 3: after that game, but that one. 320 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: Might be the worst of them. You've seen it too, right, 321 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of people bring it up. 322 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 3: You've brought it to my attention, I think, but once 323 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 3: you do some digging, yeah, people, because I think it's 324 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 3: how effusive in praise they were over t Higgins on 325 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 3: the broadcast for doing that, and they should have been 326 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: because it was such a heady play that Steelers fans were. 327 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: Like, wow, I was an our player as smart as 328 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 2: that guy. 329 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: But because he needed seven points not three, exact it's 330 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: simple math. It's not an apples to apples comp here, 331 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: and you're still gonna have to stop them at some 332 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: point or another. You're still gonna have to stop them 333 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: from getting three regardless, So whether based on what everybody's saying, 334 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna score quick anyway, so you have to take. 335 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: Time off the clock. 336 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: Well, they're gonna score quick anyway then and you're not 337 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: gonna get the extra possession. So in a weird way, 338 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: it sort of worked out in that they got the 339 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: ball back from Cincinnati, but they just couldn't do anything 340 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: with it. And I don't know, I viewed people I 341 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: think right on that sort of the television commentary going 342 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: over the top with how much they praised Higgins, morphing 343 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: their brains about what took place with Friarmuth there, suggesting 344 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: that he should have gone down because I joked online 345 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: on social media that when they took over on that 346 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: scoring drive there were six minutes and fifty eight seconds left. 347 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: I joked that they would have a six minute scoring 348 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: drive and then allow the field goal with fifty eight 349 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: seconds left. I still don't know that I would have 350 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: been wrong, by the way, but because Friarmuth scored quickly, 351 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: there was a quick exchange of possessions again, and then 352 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: of course you saw what happened with the Bengals eventually 353 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: winning the game. 354 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 3: And taking that approach with Fiarmuth should have gone down. 355 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 3: That is just a kind of sneaky way in my 356 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 3: mind to excuse the defense, which again was just crap 357 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 3: in a huge moment there. It's not illegal for them 358 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 3: to get off the field. It's not illegal for TJ. 359 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 3: Watt to have another big set. 360 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: You've got one hundred and fifty eight million dollar defense. 361 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: You're not going to tell your tight end to try 362 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: to take more time off the clock so you can 363 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: strategically risk running four more plays to get into the 364 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: end zone. 365 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 2: Which is no guarantee. And just. 366 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 3: How people would feel comfortable in just these five six 367 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 3: games of Aaron Rodgers at quarterback with the Steelers offense 368 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 3: to be like, we're good enough in the red zone 369 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 3: that you can toy around like that exactly, We'll get 370 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 3: it in no problem. Like come on, guys, Like that's 371 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 3: a little ridiculous. No team would think that way. 372 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 2: Maybe they could screw up another toush push. Maybe they 373 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 2: could do that. 374 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 3: Maybe ball gets tipped and gets interceptioned, intercepted in the 375 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 3: game's over, Zach Frazier shoots a snap overs Rodgers's head. 376 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 2: There's so many things that could happen there. 377 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 3: So it's sore influence to be like, well, you should 378 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 3: have played for the touchdown later and really started to 379 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 3: miss not a chip shot field goal from Evan McPherson 380 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 3: from twenty four yards out, although which when Higgins went down, 381 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 3: there was that part of me that says, I have 382 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 3: seen the Steelers win in Cincinnati in games where it 383 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 3: didn't seem at all possible, and I was just waiting 384 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 3: for the bad long snap, the bad hold, the shanked kick, 385 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 3: the Hayward block at the line of scrimmage, something like that. 386 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 2: I was waiting for that, and the everybody's why didn't 387 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: he go down? He never should have gone down. It's 388 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 2: the Bengels against the Steelers. Just take the touchdown like 389 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 2: I was waiting for that. 390 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: In in fact, I was waiting for vontez Berfect to 391 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: come running out of the tunnel and take over as 392 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: the long snapper. 393 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 2: Or Hey, ladies and. 394 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: Gentlemen, it's alumni night here in Cincinnati, here at Paul 395 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: Brown Stadium. We're gonna welcome back pac Man Jones, and 396 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: pac Man Jones is gonna be our ceremonial holder on 397 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: the game winning field goal. 398 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 3: Especially didn't see like a Jalen Ramsey try to snot 399 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 3: time that snap up on that that field goal and 400 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 3: then try to go way offside, you know what I mean? 401 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 2: Like, what's the point try it? Give it a shot? 402 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, but would you lose seconds on that? No, because 403 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: it's when the ball is touched with your foot, right, 404 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: I guess you're right. 405 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 3: They would probably be thinking like, oh, well, did you 406 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 3: burn a couple seconds or what happens there? 407 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: I would have been a touch shaman action that made 408 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: some sense as it turned out, because well, I don't 409 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: know if they put it takes a second, doesn't it 410 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: at least two for the ball to touch the foot 411 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: and go through the uprighting So but maybe maybe because 412 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: it came off the time out, I don't know. Regardless, 413 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: I just thought they could have maybe done a little 414 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: bit more of a riskier, you know, approach to try to. 415 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 2: They've done that before. 416 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: Hayden did that and Hayden jumped off side three times 417 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: in a row, and then eventually they just awarded the 418 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: field goal away like it's never been done before. 419 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 2: But they warn you after two if you do it again. 420 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: I thought that that's what would happen. 421 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 3: That's what they did to the Commanders in the NFC 422 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 3: Championship game against the Tush Push. Remember, he just kept 423 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 3: losing it, just kept going off sides over and over 424 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 3: and over, like we're giving him a touchdown, Frankie Luvu 425 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: if you keep this up, buddy. I just thought that 426 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 3: they could have done that and kind of embraced what 427 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 3: you were saying there, that little Steelers bangles weirdness that 428 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 3: happens in games. 429 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: But because they did what they did and they actually 430 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: threw a pass, got a completion and got a few 431 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: more yards, Rogers got the ball in the end zone. 432 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean, like that was ridiculous. Apparently this the longest 433 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: ball has traveled in the NFL this year. Do you 434 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: think his arm hurts today, because I have a feeling 435 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: that he was, like, oh my god, Rodert Jones jumped 436 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: on his back, the guy with the bag back that 437 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: had to get worked one after week one. Just you 438 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: got the three hundred pound tackle jumping on his back 439 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: to celebrate, and then he had to wrench his to 440 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: throw the ball sixty seven yards of the air. 441 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 3: I kind of forgot about Rogers's hail Mary Prowess. Like 442 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 3: I never really thought of it when he signed with 443 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 3: the Steelers and he's been here until that moment came 444 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 3: to Fruition and I was like, they actually have the 445 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 3: best quarterback ever. Maybe at this like this actually has 446 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 3: some chance better than most teams. I would say he's 447 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 3: got it down to a science too, Like he does 448 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 3: that like really like elongated roll out and kind of. 449 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: Like she can step into his heads up a little bit, 450 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: and then he's always real good about figuring out a 451 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: way where he can step into it, so and he 452 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: doesn't have to get a lot to step into because 453 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: he's so good at spinning the ball off platform or 454 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: without one hundred percent oomph on it and when he 455 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: really wants to. 456 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: That's what it looks like. 457 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 3: I have a feeling though, that he was on that 458 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 3: team playing with like the ice pack like a pitcher 459 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 3: that just. 460 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: Through it should have made Robert Jones hold it there 461 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: for him, no tape on it. Yeah, Broderick, you're holding 462 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: this the whole way back. You probably think Broderick would 463 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: screw that up too, though. Do you want to get 464 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: into some more offensive things here? Should we take a 465 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: break and then come back and do that. I don't 466 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: think we should take a break, Okay. I wanted to 467 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: get into some more defense though. I mean, God, they 468 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: just sucked so bad. Okay, we could do both, because 469 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: I understand the trifecta is somewhat of so sperior. 470 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 2: It's about the defense. All right, Well, there we go. 471 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 2: We'll do that. 472 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: We'll get into the offensive foibles and there are some. 473 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: I'm not putting this game on the offense. It's ninety 474 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: percent on the defense. Let me give you the other 475 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: ten when we come back.

But there are 492 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: a few offensive angles of dialogue that we have to have. 493 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to shift blame. I'm not doing 494 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: what you were suggesting before. Let's talk about Friarmth not 495 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,959 Speaker 1: taking a knee, so we can leave the beloved Steelers 496 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: press defense, the delicate good. 497 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 2: The last two weeks. 498 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: There were some offensive things that are worthy of discussion, 499 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: and one of them is they don't do tricky well. 500 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 2: And you're saying that as in regards to the Toush push. 501 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying? Toush push. They screwed us. 502 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: That should not be tricky. The flea flicker they screwed up. 503 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: You know, they kind of did the over complicated screen 504 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: to Darnell Washington, anything that was intricate last night. They 505 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: kind of messed up the basics they did well. 506 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 3: Let's not throw screens to Darnell Washington five yards in 507 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 3: the backfield, regardless, like even if. 508 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 2: That was perfect. You wanted to shake and bake. 509 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 3: You want him to get in five yards anyway, that's 510 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 3: a dk play, Okay, do that to him somebody like that? 511 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 2: Please? 512 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: Do you think they should have run Warren Moore? And 513 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: if so, when specifically, I think the entire game is 514 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: when specifically I think that was okay? 515 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 2: Like I've got a little bit of it. 516 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: I even had a little bit of a problem advancing 517 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: this in print because I knew I was going to 518 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: feel like a hypocrite if I did it, because I've 519 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: been there saying you can't just try to bang. 520 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 2: Your head into the wall with Warren and gain. 521 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: Well and hope it works. You have to be able 522 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: to take some shots down the field. But there was 523 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: no banging your head against the wall with those guys 524 00:23:59,160 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: in this game. 525 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 2: And this ten yards down the field. 526 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: Right, you know, like against Cleveland for instance, like they 527 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: only averaged four yards. There's all this talked about how 528 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: great the run game was against Cleveland. It was okay, 529 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: he was good. Their averaged about four yards to carry 530 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: before the kneel downs against the Browns in this game, 531 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: like whatever they wanted. They got both running backs Chase Brown, 532 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: who by the Way was averaging thirty something yards per 533 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: game coming into that contest, like he was a third 534 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: or fourth line fantasy football draft guy. And everybody who's 535 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: taking him hates his guts, yes, absolutely hates him. Hates 536 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: the Bengals offensive line. And he looked like exactly the 537 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: running back that people were talking about in preseason fantasy drafts. 538 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and every time he touched it. But the sea's parted. 539 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 3: Well, it's exactly what people I think were thinking would 540 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 3: happen with Cincinnati. 541 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: Two. 542 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 3: They're living in eleven personnel, right, and teams are gonna 543 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 3: have to go nickel, they're gonna have to go dime. 544 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 3: They wanted to get only two down linemen if they 545 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 3: could out there for the Steelers, and that's just easy 546 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 3: to run block, and then you're gonna have all these 547 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 3: big holes that you can drive trucks through. And it 548 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 3: was finally working for them in this game against the 549 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 3: Steelers because Flacco was a legitimate threat in the passing 550 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 3: game and you had to worry about him getting the 551 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 3: ball to those receivers when they were in eleven personnel 552 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 3: and they had three or four receivers on the field 553 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 3: spreading the Steelers out, so it worked exactly as I 554 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 3: think the Bengals had an envision it would work, where 555 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 3: they didn't really run the ball that much. Like Chase 556 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 3: Brown only had eleven carries in this game, but I 557 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 3: think that's always what they envisioned their offense being, is 558 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 3: like twelve carries from Brown averaging close to five yards 559 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 3: of carry. Now, in this game, you averaged ten yards 560 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 3: of carry, but you mentioned Brown to Herbstreet stet. 561 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 1: Whenever they ran on first and ten when you expect 562 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: the other team to run, they averaged eleven yards per. 563 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: First and ten. 564 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 3: They were blowing their doors off, And you mentioned Chase 565 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 3: Brown averaging like thirty yards per carried. The Bengals as 566 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 3: a whole, we're averaging fifty four yards as a team 567 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 3: entering into this game, and they got that total on 568 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 3: two different drives running the football in this game. Me 569 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 3: on the one drive with the interception that was called 570 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 3: back because DK touched him, and then the very next 571 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 3: play Chase Brown took at thirty seven yards right back 572 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 3: to the original point where the guy returned it, and 573 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 3: they matched their season total on that drive. 574 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 2: Rushing the ball. 575 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: Remind me to come back to the refs if we 576 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: don't get there, all right, But I do want to 577 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: say about the Warren angle to the offense, if there 578 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: was a time where they upon further review, and this 579 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: is I'll admit, this is hindsight. But they're supposed to 580 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: have foresight. We're allowed to have hindsight. They're the coaches, 581 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: were the radio hosts, and you're you're the fans. We're 582 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: allowed to have hindsight. They should have been running when 583 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: they through the interception. 584 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 2: The deep ball to DK. They really uncharacteristic of Rogers. 585 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he just kind of threw it just for 586 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: the sake of it. It just felt like I'm rolling 587 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: the dice here, but you know, you didn't. I'm going 588 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: to hit on and. 589 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 3: He didn't like eighteen and he didn't place it towards 590 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 3: the sideline, you know where if it was bad, it 591 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 3: would probably. 592 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 2: Just be a bad thro It was a bad idea. 593 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 2: It was the wrong look. 594 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: I can't remember if fitz I think it was Fitzpatrick 595 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: at halftime and made that point. It's like, well, it's 596 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: a nice play by the safety, but what else was 597 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: he gonna do. There's no like, was he just gonna 598 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: stand there and pick his nose like there was nobody else. 599 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 2: To go, just DK running deep. 600 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 4: He there's just. 601 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: DK running deep, and he didn't have any other choices, Like, 602 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: I better help out the corner on this side of 603 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: the field, So he went over there and made the pick. 604 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 3: Was Rogers trying quick strike back because the Bengals just scored, You. 605 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,239 Speaker 1: See, that's but that's the point, like did we have 606 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: to turn that into a pinball game? 607 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 2: Like they were up ten to nothing, Cincinnati just scored. 608 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 2: Did you really need to feel at that point like 609 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 2: you had to turn this into a track meet? 610 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 3: Why not suck the air more again out of pay 611 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 3: Court Stadium and just run fifteen times down their throat 612 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 3: for a touch. 613 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: You're still getting a touchdown back, why not take a 614 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: little bit more time. 615 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 2: To do it? 616 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: And like this is not that this is a different 617 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,719 Speaker 1: argument than the friar Mouth should go down argument. You 618 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: can play with the clock in the first quarter or 619 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: the second. 620 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 2: Quarter, whatever it was. 621 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: That is just physically, I would argue that's almost more 622 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 3: demoralizing than a quick strike home run right after the 623 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 3: Bengals scored, Like if you had the fans kind of 624 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 3: back into it, it's ten to seven, and then you 625 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 3: just kind of worked your way down the field with 626 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 3: Warren and just running and running and running, eating up 627 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,719 Speaker 3: all that clock and then getting into the end zone. 628 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 3: They would just been like, well, there's just there's nothing 629 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 3: we're gonna do in this game. It was stupid that 630 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,239 Speaker 3: they didn't run the ball there and then tim if 631 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 3: you noticed, they were down ten and then they were like, well, 632 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 3: let's run the ball a lot. And then that drive 633 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 3: that got the touchdown to make it twenty seven to 634 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 3: twenty four. It was mainly on the ground, so like 635 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 3: when they needed it, they sure leaned into it. That 636 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 3: was my biggest gripe with the offense was them getting 637 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 3: away from the run as much as they'd only twenty 638 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 3: carries in a game where you were averaging seven point 639 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 3: four yards as a team. 640 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: One quick thing on the officials, then we'll break and 641 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: get to the trifecta. 642 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 2: You can argue yay or nae. 643 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: Broderick Jones held that guy or he just kind of 644 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: went down with leverage. You can argue yay or nay. 645 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: It should have been pass interference on Chase here or 646 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: Ramsey there, tiki tak on which Penny Porter was flagged 647 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: four versus which penalty Porter got away with I'm not 648 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: really interested in adjudicating all of those. What struck me 649 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: about the officiating last night, and it pisses me off 650 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: to no end because of where we're going with this 651 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: is on the rip away from Metcalf. 652 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: There was no call. 653 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: They never said if it was a touch, a reception 654 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: or an interception. 655 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 2: They never said anything. 656 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: If you watch the body language of the official who 657 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: was on the sideline, assuming it was the side judge, 658 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: but whatever official was on the sideline there watching that play, did. 659 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 2: You see what he did? 660 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: Like he reached to grab the bean bag and then 661 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: didn't do it like he thought he saw it right 662 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: as it turns out like, But he's like, I didn't 663 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: really just see that, did I? 664 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 2: He reached paralyzed by indecision, he went for his bean 665 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 2: bag and then remembered he should have gone for his 666 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: earpiece so he could hear what was coming in. 667 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: Well, that's what they did eventually, because at no point, Now, 668 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: maybe they did make a call in the field and 669 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: the prime crew was in replay showing it, but at 670 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: no point did anybody come on the on the field 671 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: and say it's an interception. At no point did the 672 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: official get on a microphone and say it's a reception. 673 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: It's being reviewed, like we had no indication it was 674 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: being looked at for about two minutes. And when they 675 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: say every time you hear the ref say after discussion, 676 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: you know what that means. You know, that means that 677 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: New York has gotten in their head, made the call 678 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: for them and is reminding them to say after discussion, 679 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: meaning on the field, illusion alive. Yes, they're not doing 680 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: this as puppets from New York. This is us talking 681 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: it out here like guys, you know, whenever the refs 682 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: say after discussion, that's like when you're having a quasi 683 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: near argument with someone who say no offense, but obviously 684 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: you mean a fence, Like it's the same thing. 685 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: That preamble is just a tip off to what's coming. 686 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 3: Would you rather come out and be like, my boss 687 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 3: just told me we were wrong there from New York, 688 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 3: so we're gonna change this. 689 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: You have to, especially in certain situations when it's not 690 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: a turnover that's in play, or when it's not a 691 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: touchdown that's in play, or under two minutes where they 692 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: can automatically involve themselves. 693 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 2: You got to make a call. 694 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: So the other team knows that they're gonna challenge or 695 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: not because there's risk to a change. 696 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: The Bengals lost a challenge last night. 697 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: A stupid challenge that's caught exactly, but that's costly. So 698 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: like this, this mystical we can buzz in whenever we want. 699 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: It breaks the rules of how you the mechanism of 700 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: the red flag. 701 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 2: It absolutely does. 702 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 3: Can I go on a little bit of a ran 703 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 3: about officials too, if we have a time, we have 704 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 3: a little bit of time. It's only gonna take me 705 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 3: like thirty seconds. The toush push, Mason McCormick one thousand 706 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 3: percent was a false start. Not even gonna dispute that 707 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 3: right call. You're gonna say that the Eagles ever. 708 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: Call it against Philly. I said this last night on Twitter. 709 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: You're not wrong, But the amount of people that just 710 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: seized on that, like, oh my god, because it's so 711 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: obvious they always false start on their toush push. 712 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 2: You could even look at the game last night. 713 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: If you're talking about offensive lineman false starting, the tackles, 714 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: all fall starting for the Bengals, the. 715 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 2: Whole thing jump early. Yes, there is. 716 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: By the way, I don't think McCormick was the one 717 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: that on the to push started first. 718 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 2: This McCormick got off better. 719 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 3: That happens on almost every Eagles tush push and it 720 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 3: goes uncalled every time. I think refs are kind of 721 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 3: paralyzed because this is the tush push team, right, this 722 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 3: is their thing. 723 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: They do it perfectly. I'll tell you why they do it. 724 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why that happens. That happens because they're 725 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: watching the defense against Philadelphia. 726 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 2: But when it's the other teams, they're like, let's see 727 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 2: how they're doing it. 728 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: Let's see if they're doing it right, because you know, 729 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: the Eagles have mastered getting around that. But I think 730 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: they are so perplexed when it comes to trying to 731 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: figure out what the defense is doing. Kind of like 732 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: we just talked about the guy that from Washington, we 733 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: kept trying to breath, yea. You know, they are watching 734 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: the defense so intently to see how they're gonna stop it, 735 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: if they're gonna do something illegal to stop it. That 736 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: the Eagles can do things illegal to get it, and 737 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: they're not noticing. I would want to be the ref 738 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: though that has the balls right to big play fourth 739 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: and one, Eagles get it, throw that flag, in with 740 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: some Gustard really just fly yes, faalse start and be 741 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: right about it too, right, like go to replay review 742 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: and everybody in America at home sees the guard move 743 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: forward first, be right about it. Absolutely call it. I 744 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: would crave that moment. I would, especially if it's Lane Johnson. 745 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 3: I would be especially if it's looking for that moment 746 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 3: so badly if I was a ref, because you know, 747 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 3: they hear the noise, like they know that people are 748 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 3: on them about this, so I would be looking for that. 749 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 2: But I think you're right. 750 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 3: They just default into the defense is going to do 751 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 3: something illegal, and I better make sure I adjudicate it. 752 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 2: That's so blatant about it. 753 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: Hurts moves first, sometimes before the ball even get it, 754 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: just pushes the center forward. 755 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 2: The center's like I'll just hold on to it. 756 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: A million bodies handed to them and then yeah, it's 757 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: it is blatant. 758 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 2: You're right, but they're a bigger fish to fry than 759 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 2: that last night. 760 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 3: And also, don't do the touch push anymore, Steelers, because you, 761 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 3: like almost every other team the NFL, suck at it, 762 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 3: and you did fall start and that was the right call. 763 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: It was the right call exactly all right trifecta when 764 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: we come back one oh. 765 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 2: Five nine the X as your shot at X drug cash. 766 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 2: See what I did there. 767 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 4: Thirteen times a day, nine am through nine pm, d 768 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 4: X will give you the keyword at the top of 769 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 4: every hour enterady WXDX dot com and you could win 770 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 4: one thousand dollars. 771 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 2: With that much money, you could buy like ten coffees. 772 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 2: You know what. 773 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 4: I was homeschooled.

Number three for me, 788 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Patrick Queen. He was just invisible 789 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 3: out there the entire time. And I was so encouraged 790 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 3: in the previous weeks how he was popping on the 791 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,280 Speaker 3: television copy, you know what I mean, just seeing number 792 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 3: six flying all over the field like a middle linebacker 793 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 3: should look, making a lot of impact. 794 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 2: He did nothing against Cincinnati. 795 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 3: He might as well have taken the night off number 796 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 3: two For me, I'm gonna go a little cheat here. 797 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 3: I'm gonna cheat a little bit here. I'm gonna go 798 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 3: Herbig and wat together. But emphasis on Nick Herbig. After 799 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 3: so much noise about him being such a great pass rusher, 800 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 3: he only plays thirty eight percent of the snaps and 801 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,720 Speaker 3: then just has zero impact when he's out there anyway. 802 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 3: But the number one least valuable player for that defense 803 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 3: I think has to be Jalen Ramsey. And that's ironic 804 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 3: because I think he could have had a strong case 805 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 3: heading into that game for being the most valuable player 806 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,720 Speaker 3: for the Steelers defense this season. But he was cooked 807 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 3: like a Christmas goose all night by Jamar Chase. 808 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 2: Wow, you went through that and didn't mention what huh? 809 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 2: I said? Herbig and Wan they share number two? You 810 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 2: share number two? 811 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 4: Oh? 812 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 2: Okay? I think I think you're cheating. You are cheating. 813 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 2: I did cheat. I said that, Yeah, you are listening 814 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 2: to me, Well I was. 815 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 1: I was listening when you said her big, and then 816 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 1: I thought, well, well that's weird. 817 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 2: Why did he say her big? I tuned out on 818 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 2: the Watt part. That's my bad. 819 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: I mean what was bad too. He did have that 820 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: half a sack with him. You should have split it 821 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 1: three ways then and then put high Smith in there. 822 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's kind of back up in my mind now. 823 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 3: I think her big Athough didn't dictate that, yeah, which 824 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 3: I think is maybe another air from the coaching staff. 825 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 3: It's not like high Smith was out there and helping 826 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 3: him the run defense, right. Tim wasn't like he was 827 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 3: his prowess was needed out there to slow chase Brown down. 828 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 3: But what definitely deserves some blame here. I mean, he 829 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 3: had that one play and then that was it. Just 830 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 3: like I said with Patrick Queen, you forgot he even 831 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 3: made the trip to Cincinnati. Through long stretches of that game. 832 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: It's weird in a sense that Cole Holcombe was more visible, 833 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 1: and that was probably a bad thing based on how 834 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 1: he became visible. 835 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 3: It was a terrible game for all the inside linebackers 836 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 3: and Peyton Wilson had six taps. He's just you know, 837 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 3: he was just okay. And he was beaten coverage a 838 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 3: couple of times as well. So I mean it looked 839 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 3: like there was progress being made by the inside backers 840 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 3: and that just all went right down the toilet in 841 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 3: this game against Cincinnati was one of their worst games 842 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 3: as a unit all year. 843 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't very. 844 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 1: Visible either, and had been ever since he got into 845 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 1: the lineup. 846 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,919 Speaker 2: Was Harmon. Yeah, that's a really good point. 847 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: He thought Harmon had his least impactful performance and. 848 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 3: There was a weakness with the guards in Cincinnati, theoretically 849 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 3: Reisner and the Rivers, the rookie. I mean, it was 850 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 3: not a strong interior. It was not a strong offensive 851 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,439 Speaker 3: line in general. And Tim we said on countdown this week, 852 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 3: we were like, credit to the Steelers pass rush. They're 853 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 3: doing this against weak offensive lines. And that's not always 854 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 3: the case. We sometimes prognosticate, oh, this is a terrible 855 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 3: matchup for the opposing team. Their line stinks, and then 856 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 3: they go out and they shut down the Steelers pass rush. 857 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 3: That happened this week against Cincinnati. That line stinks, but 858 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 3: they did a good job against Pittsburgh. 859 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: This seems to be a recur theme where you feel 860 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: like the Steelers have just this overwhelming advantage over the 861 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: offensive line. To your point, and I've raised that time 862 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: and time and time again, and then we walk away 863 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: from it. 864 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 2: And I don't know why we. 865 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: Don't focus on that more, because, like Matt Williamson points out, 866 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: all the time, you usually walk into a game where 867 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: the defensive front is better than the offensive front. And 868 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: if it's as decidedly advantageous for the Steelers as it 869 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 1: has been, more games should look like Minnesota and Cleveland, 870 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: and not enough. 871 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 2: Do I know. It's a bit bizarre. 872 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 3: And then conversely, when you see like the Lane Johnson's 873 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 3: of the world come in or a really good matchup 874 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 3: for the opposing team as far as neutralizing the Steelers 875 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 3: pass russes concerned, almost like the Steelers step up in 876 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 3: those instances, and then the pass rush is dominant in 877 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 3: those aspects too, So it's really weird. It's hard to 878 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 3: figure out what the reason would be there. I'd also 879 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 3: like to throw a little honorable mention as far as 880 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 3: the least valuable players is concerned to Darius Slay last night, 881 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 3: because my god, anytime he found himself on Chase Flacco 882 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 3: went right there. 883 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,439 Speaker 1: I want to give you credit for something I did 884 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 1: listen to, even if I didn't listen to the wat 885 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: part of these splitting and cheating for number two in 886 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 1: the trifecta, I thought you might have made the best 887 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: point of anybody I heard this week. 888 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,720 Speaker 2: Wow, I promise you it was an accident. 889 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 1: I think it was because you didn't write it down. 890 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: I think you were just kind of spitballing and it 891 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:23,919 Speaker 1: came out of your mouth. But it was a great 892 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 1: point that Tomlin probably worked himself into an oblivion more 893 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: with Flacco being traded from Cincinnati to Cleveland than he 894 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: will with Josh Allen when they played the Bills in 895 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, or you know, any of the 896 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: next three teams like Herbert with the LA Chargers, or 897 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: Love This Sunday, Love This Sunday, Danny Dimes in between 898 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,240 Speaker 1: with the Colts, like these teams that are playoff teams, 899 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,919 Speaker 1: or Josh Allen, who was an MVP candidate again this year, 900 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: like we will come at him with a ton of 901 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: questions about like how do you stop Josh Allen? How 902 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: do you slow down justin Herbert with his wide receivers, 903 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: and he'll make it sound like we're the idiots for asking. 904 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,439 Speaker 1: You know, but the Joe Flacco thing, where everybody else 905 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: thought it was no big deal, and why is he 906 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: turning it into this massive talking point with the Andrew 907 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: Berry quote. He's more bugged out about Flacco switching teams 908 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 1: than he is about facing MVP candidates. There's no doubt 909 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 1: about that. 910 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,240 Speaker 3: And just thinking the other quarterback was healthy named Joe, 911 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,839 Speaker 3: who's usually there for Cincinnati, it would have gone how 912 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 3: you're illustrating it, well. 913 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,919 Speaker 2: Yes, I bet you having the case like he would 914 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:39,240 Speaker 2: have been. 915 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,839 Speaker 1: We've seen Joe Burrow before, we know what he has, 916 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,919 Speaker 1: We respect him a great deal, we know how good 917 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: he is. But this is not new to us. This 918 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: is AFC North football. There's a lot of advanced intimate 919 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,439 Speaker 1: knowledge between the teams. It's exactly how the SoundBite would 920 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: have sounded. But Flacco moves teams and he just melts. 921 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,720 Speaker 3: But nobody fits what you just said, that faux SoundBite 922 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 3: which sounds so real that would come out of my 923 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:01,439 Speaker 3: Tomlin's mouth. 924 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 2: No one fits that description like Joe Flacco. 925 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco looked like Joe Montana, dipped in Joe Burrow 926 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: and rolled in Joe Namath last night. That's how he 927 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,840 Speaker 1: performed against the Steelers. In thirty seconds, we'll talk about 928 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: everything that went wrong last night, everything that went wrong 929 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: last night, and if you want to get a head 930 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,920 Speaker 1: start on at eight three, three, four, one, two ninety 931 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: nine thirty nine, you. 932 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 2: Can call now and we'll get into it. 933 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to air my grievances about the Pittsburgh Steelers, 934 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 1: just like I do on the trip after every game 935 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: for the Steelers. You and I can do it together 936 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 1: because there is a lot to air, as the Steelers 937 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 1: aired against Cincinnati one oh five nine. 938 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 2: The X Now it's your chance to win one thousand 939 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 2: dollars
