1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: Ville appliance, the Steelers in case anyone has forgotten, just 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: got run over by Buffalo on Sunday, and the Steelers, 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: in case anyone's forgotten, got run over by the Ravens 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry last January in the playoffs. So Mike Tomlin, 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: who clearly hasn't forgotten either one of those things, emphasized 6 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: yesterday that they are focusing on run defense as they 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: get ready. That's good to take on the Ravens in 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: Baltimore on Sunday. Tomlin called such an approach quote justified 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: and appropriate. 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 2: I would agree, Yeah, I concur Now. 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: How you go about doing that, that's the heart of 12 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: the matter. The fixes for the Steelers boiled down to 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: details such as being in the right gap and to schematics, 14 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: many of which were tried last Sunday against the Bills 15 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: and very few of which consistently succeeded. 16 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 3: You got to put a lot of lines in the water. Certainly, 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 3: we're looking at strategic global things from a strategy or 18 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 3: a schematic standpoint, but we're also looking at the divisional 19 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 3: labor and the positions that we put players in, how 20 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 3: we adjust and adapt and communicate, particularly when that gets 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 3: strained due to player availability or lack thereof. 22 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: And speaking of lack thereof, Derek Harmon's not going to 23 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: play really hurts the Steelers. 24 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: That's not. 25 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: Patrick Queen is questionable, although I don't know how much 26 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: it hurts. I was gonna say, And they went to 27 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: Cole Holcombe when Queen got hurt in the Buffalo game. 28 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: And there was a time a couple of years ago 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: when he first got here, when we all thought Cole 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 1: Holcombe was a really good player, and now it doesn't 31 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: seem to be room for him. Well, maybe this is 32 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: his chance to get back in the mix. 33 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: And he should be fully healed from that rebuild, so 34 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: ready to ready to lock and load. 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: It's not as if the Steelers are incapable stopping to run. 36 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: You can check the Indianapolis game, you can check the 37 00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: Chicago game. But yeah, and they just but it's a 38 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: week to week deal in the NFL, and nobody apparently 39 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: is more aware of that or endorses that theory more 40 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: than Mike Tomlin. 41 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: You know, you'd have to look at each one of 42 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 3: those things individually, the plans, the players available to us, 43 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: the schematics of those that we compete against. I think 44 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 3: that's the challenge. And the beautiful thing about this league 45 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 3: is that weekend and week out, Man, you start anew 46 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 3: there're certainly, particularly at this point of the year, some 47 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: evidence of who you are and evidence of who your 48 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 3: opponents are. But from a strategy standpoint, you better start 49 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 3: at ground zero. You better build, and that's what we're 50 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 3: in the process of doing today in this week. And 51 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 3: they have to put out a better performance this week, 52 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 3: you know. 53 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: And it's funny the Ravens have beating the Steelers two 54 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: games in a row. The Steelers had won four in 55 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: a row prior to that, and they have a good 56 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: track record historically against Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. But 57 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: I think everybody still has TSD from that playoffs January, 58 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: and in the event there was starting to get over, 59 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: it came the Buffalo game and now it's back right. 60 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's two six and six teams, two 61 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: teams with warts, two rivals that usually play a one 62 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: score game. I mean, I'm talking like forty times out 63 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: of fifty five or something ridiculous. And yet the impending 64 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: sense that I get is doom. 65 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 4: The thing that confounds me is, you know, and Merrill saying, 66 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 4: ultimately it's on the players. You know it's not. There's 67 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 4: only so much scheming you can do, and they're you 68 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 4: know it, The fault lies not a little bit right 69 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 4: with each of them. But ultimately the players have to 70 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 4: make the places. I cannot believe in the life of 71 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 4: me that they were getting blown off the ball and 72 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 4: just handled by the Bills that much when they've done 73 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 4: it against those teams that we've talked about. They've stopped 74 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 4: the run against Jonathan Taylor, they stopped the run against 75 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 4: the dual attack from the Bears. It has to be 76 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 4: guys not doing what they're supposed to do, not that 77 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 4: they don't have the talent to do it, or did they. 78 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: Just catch the Colts on a good day when they 79 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: weren't doing what they're supposed to do. 80 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: Everything up and the Bear. I don't know who knows 81 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: it's the NFL man. 82 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: It's really hard to figure week the week, but clearly 83 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: this game starts and ends with run defense and with 84 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: the Steelers' ability to run the ball against these guys. 85 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 4: So it's obviously they didn't play last week because they 86 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 4: didn't want that dude to get hurt or something, and 87 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 4: they just well, they just scratched them. He's not playing. 88 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 4: It was not the best option, a healthy scratch of 89 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 4: ten million a year. They drop him, he'll probably get 90 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 4: picked up by somebody. 91 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: Well it's a. 92 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: Probably O line is the most desperate position and corners 93 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: probably second. 94 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 95 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, but he's he'll get veteran minimum and maybe 96 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: some incentives. 97 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 4: But is the Adam Feeling signing. You have to think 98 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 4: that guy making the intention known like he he wants 99 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 4: to play. I mean MVS has not even sniffed the 100 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 4: lineup yet. 101 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: No, and apparently he's not gonna. 102 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: Because they got Feeling correct. Yeah. 103 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: Now MVS is much more of a Mike Williams type 104 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: of receiver. Just run down the sideline and if you 105 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: can hit him on a deep ball or two's that's 106 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: the point. Thelan's a complete, he has been a complete 107 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: and actual number two. He could be compared to what 108 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: we have. 109 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the problem I have with Calvin Austin 110 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 4: and Roman Wilson is height. 111 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: Yes, it's a problem, and they're not necessarily combat catch guys. 112 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: THELAN has always been a guy. 113 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: You get the ball anywhere near him and he's gonna 114 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: find a way to catch it. We've all seen it 115 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: for years, you know, plays in the back of the 116 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: end zone, plays along the sideline. He was playing a 117 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: lot early in the season for Minnesota. Is the number 118 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: three when Jordan Addison was suspended, and when Addison came back, 119 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: then it was Addison, Naylor and Jefferson and that's the 120 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: guys they were rolling with. Thelan got scratched last Sunday 121 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: when the Vikings played Seattle, and that's when he said, Hey, 122 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: if you guys don't need any mind, if I go 123 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: somewhere else. This is my last year, right, I'd like 124 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: to play whatever football I have left. And they said, sure, 125 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: you're all waivers, go for it. 126 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 4: How quickly can he acclimate? And your guy, I know, 127 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 4: but like there's still a lot to remember. Figure out 128 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 4: five things he can do and tell him to do those. 129 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 4: I mean, this is desperate times. Yeah, you can't keep 130 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 4: going the way they're going with this passing game. 131 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: What's the best way to attack the Ravens defense. I'll 132 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: tell you tomorrow. You're watching the film tonight. Yeah, yeah, but. 133 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: I think the best way to attack him is to 134 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: run the ball on him and get them worried about 135 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: that and then get back to the play action from 136 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: under center. That's the key, and there's where your tight 137 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: ends come into play. And now everybody comes up for 138 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: your tight ends, and now you go downtown. 139 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 4: Forty two year old Aaron Rodgers celebrating his birthday last 140 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 4: night with a birthday cake brought to him by Ben's Garonic, 141 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 4: all the receivers saying happy birthday to him. 142 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: And then you know, lovely without looking at the tape. 143 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: Just philosophically, the best way to attack any defense is 144 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: if they give you one. 145 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: On one outside, make them pay for it. 146 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, because if they're giving you one on one side, 147 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: that means they're addressing other things and trying to take 148 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: away your running game and your short middle. 149 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 4: Do you think Rogers has looked uncomfortable in the pockets 150 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 4: since the Chargers game. 151 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: I don't know why. Now they all line at a 152 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: bad game against the Chargers, And some of that after 153 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: the fact could be attributed to Singamala not being there 154 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: and brought up Jones kind of needing Samalu to be respectable, 155 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: which when he came back, Jones was respectable. 156 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: Now Jones is gone. I don't think Pete was the problem. 157 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: The other night. 158 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 4: I was gonna say they stick with Pete at left 159 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 4: tackle and you Spencer Anderson is a swing guy still 160 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 4: and bounce him around and put them in formation. 161 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. Rogers did the same thing. 162 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: I talked to Rudolph about the sack strip in Chicago. 163 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: Remember I was saying, yeah, you should have thrown at 164 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: the warn anyway because he's being covered by the defensive tackle. 165 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: And Rudolf, well, I should have thrown it away, is 166 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: what I should have done. Okay, I get that. You 167 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: know it's not third down, it's not fourth down. Live 168 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: to fight another day, don't turn it over. Rogers did 169 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: the same thing on that sack strip. He went back 170 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: when he wanted Initially whatever that was wasn't there. He 171 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: stepped up, didn't get rid of it and started going 172 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: right like. 173 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: It looked like he went through two or three persons. 174 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: Got to go off from your head, man, get rid 175 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 2: of it. It was the first play in the third quarter. 176 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: If we've seen him do that, until he throws the 177 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: ball to guy's feet or throws it out, he's not 178 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: opposed to giving up a play. 179 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 4: Doesn't it remind you of Russ trying to do too much? 180 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 4: That these guys get to a point in their career 181 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 4: where they something in them wants to keep fighting, and 182 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 4: then they don't value the live to fight another day 183 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 4: thing where Tom Brady excelled at that these guys are 184 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 4: trying to do too much to prove they can still do. 185 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: It, and Brady excelled at Nickel and Diamond people to death. 186 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 5: Other than Brady, Rogers is like the throw it away guy, 187 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 5: like the the guy to do it.

Yeah, Rogers has missed some throws. He 196 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: acknowledged he missed. He's missing a lot of miss throwman 197 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: Wilson on again.
