1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Joining me now was Tommy Radio, and Tom I knew

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: Loop was gonna miss their rookie kicker at the death.

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: That's a lot of pressure, and obviously Akershure is a

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: very tough stadium to kick it.

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: I was not as confident that Loop was gonna miss.

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: I thought he was gonna nail it. I thought the

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 2: Steelers were gonna blow it. The defense was gonna fold

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: on that last drive.

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: Well, really, the special teams folded on that defense, and

10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: special teams did. The Steelers just went anyway, and golly,

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: the only thing that propped them up was Rogers and

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: even not him till the second half.

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: Kickers are just so good right now in the NFL

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: that anytime they're within fifty, I just feel like it's

15
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: almost automatic.

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 3: And Loop was perfect from it to him.

17
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: Last miss inside of fifty all year long, and he

18
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: missed it bad, oh bad, But like what ten fifteen feet?

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: That was a pressure to tell as soon as he

20
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: kicked it that he missed.

21
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: Total pressure, job right, like just a total push of

22
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: the football. The loud the stadium was crazy loud all night.

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: It was a great crowd, and you're right, the swirling

24
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: winds of Akroshurre Stadium.

25
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: That's a tough place to kick in. First time ever

26
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: doing it.

27
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: I was a bit surprised the crowd didn't turn when

28
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens got up ten niil. They got a little quiet,

29
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: but didn't really turn.

30
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: No, they didn't. No, no fire Tom one chance, nothing

31
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: like that.

32
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: And you know Boswell missed the pat But if he

33
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: didn't drill that fifty seven yard or to make it

34
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: ten to three and give the Steelers somewhat of a.

35
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: Pulse, still gonna make the panty, of course, of course.

36
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: But I got technically blocked, but he did not hit

37
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: the kick properly.

38
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: I didn't see it get blocked. I don't know why.

39
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: I said.

40
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: Somebody got like a fingertip on It looks just like

41
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: a classic slice in the in the stat Well, maybe

42
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: he sliced it into a block.

43
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 2: That makes sense, Or like a fingertip caused the spin

44
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: to happen that made it slice or something like that.

45
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: I just I just didn't see a block. It just

46
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: looked like a miss to me.

47
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: Somebody, well, technically he hooked it, okay, whide left right?

48
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 3: Yes, rightight? Because gambling has prohibited a.

49
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:56,279
Speaker 1: Bushwood, Sir, and I never slice how great was Rogers

50
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: on that last drive. Six play, sixty five yards eighty

51
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,639
Speaker 1: five seconds. Made it look easy. Now the defender that

52
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback didn't fall on the Austin touched, i'n that

53
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: fell slipped like, you know, lost his footing for a second,

54
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: and Austin ran right past him. I'm surprised that Rogers

55
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: remembered who Austin was after all this time.

56
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: Austin did hit him with a nice little shimmy move there,

57
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: but boy, it did look like he slipped, so you

58
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: got to take advantage of that, and Rogers did. He

59
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: was unbelievable in that fourth quarter on that last drive.

60
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it looked like a guy that maybe had

61
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: to come to Jesus moment in the locker room and

62
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 2: said quietly to himself, it's gonna be my last thirty

63
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: minutes of football. Let's not go out, you know with

64
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: a whimper, being the old man and game manager.

65
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: Or maybe did all kinds of drugs and that took

66
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: the program up. Little Yawuaksky. Yeah, I don't know, but

67
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: he was great though. And what made it weird that

68
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: drive the last two drash for the Steelers really is

69
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: that Rogers was pretty bad in the first half and

70
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: so was Lamar. But staying with Lamar Jackson, how about

71
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: those two long touchdowns to Flowers? Where was the coverage there?

72
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: As you mentioned early, I thought the Steelers defense was

73
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: very haphazard.

74
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: The coverage breakdowns on the Flowers touchdowns are just egregious.

75
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: First of all, the fact that Patrick Queen was in

76
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: coverage on one of them, It's just absurd. How does

77
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: that even happen. I I'm sure something where like he

78
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: got passed off or it wasn't supposed to happen, that

79
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: wasn't the intent, but whatever, it just can't end up

80
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: that way where six is covering Za Flowers, fastest player

81
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: on the field, and then Jalen Ramsey looked like his

82
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: controller got unplugged on the other z A Flowers one,

83
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 2: like he just was stuck there for a second.

84
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: Every time something bad happened to the Steelers when they

85
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: were defending, Jalen Ramsey, number five was at the scene

86
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: of the crime.

87
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: You know who was not all game twenty four again.

88
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: You never saw Joey Porter Junior like put a foot wrong.

89
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: Now he got a defensive holding that didn't get accepted

90
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: on one of the touchdowns to day Flowers, but he

91
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: feel good like he was not to blame. It all

92
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: can be on Flowers in those.

93
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: If we extrapolate the voting to the entire season, we

94
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: do it today.

95
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: He's their defensive MVP.

96
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah he is, you know, because Ramsey just played himself

97
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: right out of that with his blown coverages. I don't

98
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: know if they blew the coverage or he just got beat,

99
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: but again, he was always at the scene of the crime.

100
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: I don't want to take anything away from Rogers Mark

101
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: from what you were saying, but we have to also

102
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: acknowledge that the Ravens are a very easy defense to

103
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: play great against as a quarterback.

104
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: They don't get any pressure.

105
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: And when Kyle had no pressure, no pressure pressure Kyle

106
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: Hamilton when he went out, it's easy to attack the downfield.

107
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I when he went on, I said, boy,

108
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: that's gonna turn the game in Pittsburgh's favor. And as

109
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: much as anything that was a factor, I will give

110
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: Ramsey a little bit of a of a pass, not totally,

111
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: but a little bit on the first touchdown to the

112
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: Flowers because I thought Jackson was sacked.

113
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: He like two guys had him and he.

114
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Got free, and and you know, he only rushed for

115
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: nine yards, but he he did do some good things

116
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: with his escapability.

117
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Collinsworth said something too where it

118
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: looked like Ramsey was playing that to be a short pass,

119
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: if anything at all, Like he was ready to just

120
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: stick Flowers right there at the sticks to try to

121
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: stop him short of the line. Like that's what collins

122
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: Worth Threid was when he was playing it. So you

123
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: could find a way to excuse slightly what happened to Ramsey.

124
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 2: But I just thought he was awful the entire game,

125
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: and I thought the defense was offul the entire game.

126
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: I mean the first half. Both teams were awful on

127
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: both sides of the ball. But I don't get what's

128
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: happened to that Steeler defense.

129
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Tom It made a few plays like the Watt deflected interception,

130
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: but it's never really come good all season.

131
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 3: And let the Ravens drive at the end yesterday.

132
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: In the Likely catch that set Loop up for what

133
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 2: should have been the game winning field goal. As a safety,

134
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: Rams He's got to get over there and knock that

135
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: ball away or knock Likely's head off once again.

136
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 3: Steene of the crowd completely missed on that one.

137
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was a weak performance at the end

138
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: from the defense, but there were individuals on that defense

139
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: that played incredible games. I mean, starting with ninety seven

140
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: up front, he was the best player on the field.

141
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought the best player on the field on

142
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: defense for Pittsburgh was Cam Hayward. And he's really probably

143
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: been for all his whining about his money before the season,

144
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: he's been their most consistent defensive play all year long,

145
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: and again yesterday, He's not in a glory position, but

146
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: he gets a lot down. The boy he always gets

147
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: them arms up and Lamar has that kind of half

148
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: past three quarter throwing motion sometime, and that's right in

149
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: Cam's wheelhouse.

150
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 3: No doubt.

151
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: And he just he's throwing their interior offensive line around

152
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: and he was doing that too last week against the Browns.

153
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: He's been doing that for about a good month now,

154
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: where he's just completely single handedly blowing up the line

155
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: of scrimmage. He probably is gonna get a first team

156
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: All Pro nod this year. If not, he'll be on

157
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: the second team, which is unbelievable at age thirty six,

158
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: and he leads all interior defensive lineman and snaps.

159
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

160
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: I can't wait for Cam to make All Pro and

161
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: remind all of us he's outperformed as contract.

162
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: Oh he will. Here's one thing I.

163
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: Didn't get though, and this is taking nothing away from Rogers,

164
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: but Rodgers is clearly out there to throw the ball

165
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: and check out of run plays to throw the ball

166
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: more forty seven passes, twenty four rushing attempts. I don't

167
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: feel like the Steelers ran the ball enough, and I

168
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have to run the ball more to

169
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: beat Houston.

170
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: It's funny you're saying that because I have Twitter pulled

171
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: up right now and there's a play that's playing right

172
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: now on my feed where Rogers literally just it should

173
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: have been a handoff to gain well it's literally like

174
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: a two inch pass. So he gets a little credit

175
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: for a pass there, Like, why aren't you just handing

176
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: that off? I don't want to say he's stat padding,

177
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: but it's kind of hard to say he's nuts sometimes.

178
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: Did you see the play where Rogers went to run

179
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: and kind of chick it out? Yes, yeah, he did

180
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: check it out. Absolutely, he would have gotten that first

181
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: down or gotten close to it. He was Superman at

182
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: the end, but right then he was Clark Kent.

183
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: How about the twenty yard run later in the game.

184
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: I mean there was no one even in his vicinity,

185
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: but still to be able to run twenty yards at

186
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: that age, it's impressive.

187
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: I can't even walk twenty yards at my age. That's

188
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: tom Off from an um Mark Mann one oh five nine.

189
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 3: It's the Woody Show. We did the notion that Tomlin has.

190
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: Helped his legacy by winning yesterday, and then he deserves

191
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: more respect than he has been getting, particularly here in Pittsburgh.

192
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: It is running wild, brother. But last night's game, I mean,

193
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: let's be honest, the Steelers invented a playoff game by

194
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: losing a Cleveland.

195
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: And then won and now they move on to the

196
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: real playoffs.

197
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: And last night was dramatic, but the end result of

198
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: winning that game is the same as if you'd wanted

199
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland and you could arrested all the old guys like Rogers.

200
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: Maybe this is better for Rodgers' legacy because he has

201
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: won last game winning drive. If things don't go good

202
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: next week against Houston and then he retires, which could happen,

203
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: but I think he'll be back and the Steelers will

204
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: bring him back even though they should not. You had

205
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: a priest on the field before the game sprinkling holy water.

206
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: That's embarrassing and to me, sacrilegious. I'm not a man

207
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: of faith, but if there is a God, I think

208
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: he would have bigger concerns than a freaking football game.

209
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: That said, I knew that rookie kicker for Baltimore was

210
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: going to miss at the end.

211
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: I was at the All Star Sports Bar and Grill,

212
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 3: South Point.

213
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: And I said loudly a couple of times, he gonna miss,

214
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: he gonna miss, and he did. It just felt preordained.

215
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: And now these Stillers host Houston Monday night at after Sure.

216
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: I don't like a Monday night playoff game. I hate

217
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: night football games in general.

218
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 3: Uh, Tom, how can the Steelers beat Houston? Uh?

219
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 1: You get dk back, But that's a fearsome defense in

220
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: Stroud ain't bad at quarterback.

221
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: What do you think?

222
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, in a lot of ways, I think

223
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: this is like the worst matchup that the Steelers could

224
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 2: get right now. Houston's on fire, the defense is good

225
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: enough to win the super Bowl.

226
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: And you're right about Stroud. He's a good quarterback.

227
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: But I can also talk myself into the Steelers making

228
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 2: this a football game too, because.

229
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: The Texans don't over extend themselves offensively correct. They don't

230
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: go out there to put games away. Their their top

231
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: rusher had like seven hundred yards. They do what I

232
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: would call a star receiver strod only through nineteen touchdown passes.

233
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: Their team is totally based on defense. It's very Tomlin esk.

234
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: Demiko Ryans is a defensive minded coach like tomlin uh

235
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: and Ryans could and probably will get sucked into a

236
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: rock fight by Tom, and.

237
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: I think probably wants to.

238
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: I think Demiko Ryans thinks he's gonna rock fight his

239
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: way through this tournament and get to the AFC Championship.

240
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: Is the one team where he shouldn't try that, as

241
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 3: they could play into their hands.

242
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: It's a team that he doesn't need to slow down

243
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: offensively via a rock fight. They're slow enough on their own,

244
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: thank you very much, Rodgers. He had two good drives.

245
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: That was just a fraction of the game and it

246
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: won the game. But they really didn't too much offensively

247
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: at all against the Ravens defense that gets no pressure

248
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: and isn't hard to move the ball against.

249
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 3: But I think Ryan's welcomes that game. I really do

250
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 3: on Monday.

251
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 2: So as far as how the Steelers beat them, it

252
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 2: takes coming up with that huge splash play turnover and

253
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: then once you get it, Rogers putting it in the

254
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: end zone getting seven points off of it.

255
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: That might be the difference in a game like that.

256
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: I kept waiting for the big mistake to decide the

257
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: game last night, and maybe the Baltimore dB slipping on

258
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: the Austin touchdown was that.

259
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: Maybe Ramsey getting burned all the time. There's too many

260
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: mistakes that the side of the game.

261
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: But then the Kickers just just stole the spot by

262
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: mangling each of their last kicks up again.

263
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: It was just a really odd game.

264
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: And I still feel and I think I've made this

265
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: clear already, Tom, I still feel like the Steelers got

266
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: to win a playoff game, but the Citizens and Stooge

267
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: is at least some percentage thereof probably feel like they

268
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: already did.

269
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: I'm right there with you, Mark, I really hate this

270
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: vibe right now off like the Steelers are playing with

271
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 2: house money. I don't get that at all. Great win,

272
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: It's awesome that you won the AFC North. You've positioned

273
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: yourself better than you did last year. But the goal

274
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: all along was to end the drought, to win a

275
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: playoff game, to not end your season on wild card weekend,

276
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: play in the divisional und weekend. And I just don't

277
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: get why people are kind of like, well, you know,

278
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: whatever happens in Houston happens against Houston.

279
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: The Steelers won the division. What a great year already

280
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 3: a success, you know, Tom.

281
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: People always think I want the Steelers to lose, and

282
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't. And Proof of the Pudding has already booked

283
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: the viewing party for Monday night at Pittsburgh Brewing Company

284
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: the brewery in Creighton, and they have the biggest big

285
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: screen TV ever.

286
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: I'll be there for the.

287
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: Penguin game Sunday at five the Steeler game Monday night.

288
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: So come watch everything with me all the way live

289
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: this screen. It's bigger than my ego. Tom, Think about

290
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: that for a second. So the point is, when the

291
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: Steelers win, I get more money. I don't want to

292
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: know loose. I just I just don't take them winning

293
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: a playoff game they manufactured as seriously as some of

294
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: you out there.

295
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: I can't even imagine the number you could draw if

296
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: they get to the super Bowl to host of Pittsburgh

297
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: Steelers Mark Madden's super Bowl watch party.

298
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

299
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: Well, you know when I when I was supposed to

300
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl in six, the Jerome Beta

301
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: super Bowl in Detroit, I had a heart attack. Biggest

302
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: regret there was not that I missed the game. Who

303
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: cares about the freaking game I missed. Jenna Jamison had

304
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: a super Bowl party and Tim Ben's got to go instead.

305
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: You'd have to stay back in this one though. You

306
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: couldn't go to the super Bowl parties.

307
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: It's too much of an opportunity for a capitalist like

308
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: yourself to make a ton of money on it.

309
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 3: I have no interest in going to a super Bowl ever.

310
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: Again, the only way I would go private jet, door

311
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: to door, every single place you could go at the

312
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: super Bowl, including to the game itself. Wimo waiting outside

313
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: the press door when I left, or whatever door, the

314
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: private suite door.

315
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: But that's just not gonna happen.

316
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: It's fun to dream, but it's also not gonna happen

317
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: that the Steelers are going to go on some miracle

318
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: run here and get to the super Bowl. But they

319
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: could be Houston, and that should be the goal right now,

320
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: But you're so right. It already feels like the goalpost

321
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: seven move and the goal has been accomplished by winning

322
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: Week eighteen against the Ravens and the de facto playoff game.

323
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: Do you feel that that win satisfied certain optics? And

324
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: it definitely means Tom whin is back, which I think

325
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: he would have been anyway, but now I think that

326
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: makes it easy, and I think that Rogers is also

327
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: back if he wants to save.

328
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: Getting absolutely flattened by the Texans, which we just said

329
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: we don't think is going to happen. To find flattened

330
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: like you lose thirty five to three. I mean, like

331
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: it's just not even close. Their defense completely obliterates you.

332
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: And the only way that'll happen is if there's some

333
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: big turnovers by the Steelers' offense, like like scoop and

334
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: score pick six, stuff.

335
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: Like that, and that could happen to good defense.

336
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: But one thing that's gonna happen is pressure, and Rogers

337
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: didn't deal well with the pressure. Cleveland applied, Baltimore applied

338
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: no pressure yesterday.

339
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: Houston gonna come after it.

340
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, that's gonna be a huge factor in this game.

341
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: And are the Steelers going to overcompensate against that pressure,

342
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: I e. Keep Kenneth Gainwell into chip against some of

343
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: these pass rushers instead of using him as your best receiver,

344
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: which you did last night against the Ravens.

345
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: He was your leading receiver and he was great.

346
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: See, people are probably you know, dumping all over me

347
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: out there in the first you know, half hour of

348
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: the show. And by the way, as I've often said, Tom,

349
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: there's never been a better time to not listen to

350
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: this program. But because I wouldn't bring Rogers back, and

351
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: they probably think I sound like the stupidest mf or

352
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: on the planet because I don't think it's a good idea.

353
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: And he played real good yesterday in the second half

354
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: and they did make the playoffs, just like Rust did

355
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: last year. But Rogers has had some bad games too.

356
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: Four I can think of all loss is real bad games,

357
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be forty three. But I can also

358
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: see why they would bring him back because the philosophy

359
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: of win now for the old guys will not change them.

360
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: Guys are still coming back, They're going to be older.

361
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: The philosophy is there to win now even if they can't.

362
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: I think everybody's a lock to come back now. If

363
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: Rogers wants to come back, yes, the job is there

364
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: for him to be the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers again,

365
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: even if they beat the Texans. Though you've pointed this

366
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: out already, you know this isn't a team that's building

367
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: towards stuff like with years of success down the road

368
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: now and this is a good first step here getting

369
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: into the playoffs, a division chance.

370
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: Correct, all of.

371
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: Their seasons now and their playoff f starting with you

372
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: know this game against Houston Monday night. It are self contained,

373
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: one stands alone, right, and so when you look at

374
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: it through that correct lens, you gotta make DAFCY championship game, right,

375
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: Like forget just winning a playoff game, like you got

376
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: to get to the final four here, you got to

377
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: get to a game away from the super Bowl. When

378
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: you're looking at it like that, every season is just

379
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: that's your approach.

380
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: I don't think that's achievable for this game either, But

381
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: that's what the goal.

382
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean, But I understand what the goal is. The

383
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: goal isn't to win a super Bowl. The goal is

384
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: to just hang around and get a playoff game and

385
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: try to get lucky.

386
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: I mean, how can you look at the way they.

387
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: Run this team and assemble the roster and conclude anything else.

388
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it is so funny how people were so

389
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: ready for change, I mean right up until Tyler Luke

390
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: missed the field goal, Like they were ready to leave

391
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: that stadium firing Tomlin last night until he missed the

392
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: field goal. And that was kind of the vibe leading

393
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: into that game, like, we lose this game, change has

394
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: to happen, It's time, it's time.

395
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: You're being a Debbie Donner.

396
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Sorry but I but I am too, And I honestly

397
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: I feel bad a little bit because that was such

398
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: a spectacular game. It was so much fun to watch,

399
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: and the outcome was bizarre with the kickers soiling the

400
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: bed in tandem, but still extremely entertaining.

401
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to be down with them, Mark, because of

402
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: the house money thing. What you have pointed out that

403
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: people think it's a satisfied season already that they have succeeded.

404
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: You have to win this playoff game. You're at home.

405
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 2: Houston is not a high flying offense. This is winnable.

406
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 2: Get the job done. Don't be satisfied by just winning

407
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: the AFC North and farting out in the first round again.

408
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: Garrett Broke watched sack record Tom. I thought he celebrated

409
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: too much. I know that they stink and it's all

410
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: he's got, but I think he went overboard, like they

411
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: stopped the game. He was like dancing in the locker room.

412
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: And then Strayhan complained, was it tongue in cheek? I

413
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: heard it, I couldn't tell. He said that Garrett has

414
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: the seventeen game record and that Strahan has the sixteen

415
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: game record, implying that's the real record.

416
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 3: With everything that people say tongue in cheek, there's some

417
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 3: truth too.

418
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: I thought he was ribbing on the square, as we

419
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: said in wrestling, meaning hey.

420
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 3: He means it.

421
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I kind of feel Straighthan on that. But

422
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: he loses a lot of his luster because of far

423
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: of giving himself up before the sacks.

424
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: Straight yeah, right, like once he got down with football,

425
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: nobody in media has ever done more with less talent

426
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: besides Pat McAfee, and and it just like if you

427
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: look through history, Deacon Jones had like a billion sacks

428
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: before they started keeping me Joe, Like there's a there's

429
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: an unofficial comp in nineteen sixty seven in a fourteen

430
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: game season, he had twenty six sacks, and one year

431
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: Reggie White had twenty one sacks. That was let's see

432
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven, and those were twelve games.

433
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 3: He missed four due to injury.

434
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I definitely like to look at things

435
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: through that, and you have to weigh it that way.

436
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: But unfortunately for Deacon Jones, we didn't keep sacks back then,

437
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: which is weird. I don't know why people weren't keeping

438
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: sack back then. It seems like it's a very basic

439
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: statistic that you would come up with. But Miles Garrett's

440
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: the sack king far as the celebration is concerned, stopping

441
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: the game to acknowledge it at a visiting stadium in Cincinnati.

442
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 3: I didn't know that he was going to get that.

443
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 3: Jack Taylor got irritated, the Cincinnati coach by it. I'm

444
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 3: Surprisedzak Taylor kept his job today. Did you see that

445
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 3: that he survived?

446
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 4: Like day?

447
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: Who got fired Pete Carroll, Kevin got fired. Falcon's head

448
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 2: coach got fired yesterday? Yeah? Yeah, Cardinals head coach got

449
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: fired today. Jonathan Gannon. I think Raheem Morris actually a

450
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: pretty good coach, and they didn't quit like they won

451
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 2: four street games. They technically were in for first place

452
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 2: in that division. Were three way tigh, I'd.

453
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: Fired Tom Win and bring in Kevin Stefanski. I'd fired

454
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: Tom Win, bring in Raheem Morris. Okay, we'll talk a

455
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: little bit about the Penguins and being on a five

456
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: game win streak, But how can you not just run

457
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: the table talking Steelers today?

458
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 3: Uh? And if you don't know, well you do know,

459
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 3: Oh you didn't know.

460
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: It's going to be Monday night, Steelers hosting Houston, and

461
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: I'll be watching the game at the Pittsburgh Brewing Company

00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:04,040

00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit ago about Garrett breaking the

473
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: sack record, and I said he celebrated too much.

474
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 3: But I don't blame him. That's all we got.

475
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a hopeless situation in Cleveland, and I

476
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: got a tweet after he broke while all he has

477
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: is the sack record and money.

478
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 3: Well, what more does TJ. Watt have?

479
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: Oh, well, Garrett prioritizes sacks. Well, what about TJ.

480
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 3: Watt?

481
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: Garrett has one playoff win, tj Wt none, and Garrett

482
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: beat TJ Watt. Well, Cleveland beat Pittsburgh. To be more accurate,

483
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: I saw a quote from Farmouth he was glad to

484
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: win the division for coach t unquote because of Tomlin

485
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: being on the hot seat. I guess whether real or

486
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: imagined or how much? Yeah, I guess keep mediocrity around forever,

487
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: that's a choice. Penguins have won five in a row,

488
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: kind of got lost in the shuffle of Steele Ermania.

489
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: The only a lot twelve shots at Detroit on Saturday,

490
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: that's an all time low in a road game allowed

491
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: by the Penguins. And then the Penguins got forty two

492
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: shots on goal at Columbus yesterday and rallied from four

493
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: to one down to win and overtime five to four.

494
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 3: By the way, when it was four to one.

495
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: I tweeted, this game is still winnable, and it was,

496
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: and they did because Coombus ain't that good in the

497
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: Penguins were playing better than the score indicated. Sid scored

498
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: in overtime. Who else on the backhand? How else on

499
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: a breakaway? Hot Lumbus let that happen. Sid is an alien.

500
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to fathom or describe what he's doing at

501
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: thirty eight. And now the Penguins are in the first

502
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: wild card and four points out of first place and

503
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: six points out of last place, So it's gonna be

504
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: crazy all year long. Tom, I think it was good

505
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: for the Penguins to be on the good end of

506
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: a comeback, just to know that they can for confidence,

507
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: because their confidence took a big hit when they blew

508
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 1: all those leads.

509
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And to be honest, I know you just said

510
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: there's only six points separating the Penguins in the bottom

511
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 2: of the conference in Columbus. But Columbus is a bad

512
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: hockey team. They are worse hockey team than the Penguins.

513
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: They I know, it's the second end of a back

514
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: to back on the road, and maybe the Penguins were

515
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: due for that, And YadA YadA. You couldn't drop points

516
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: against Columbus in that spot. So I'm so glad they

517
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 2: ripped back from four to one, tied the game. I

518
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 2: was gonna be happy with them just bleeding out that point,

519
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: but Sid decided to go ahead and get both of

520
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 2: them anyway.

521
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Carlson made a great pass and when the

522
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: Penguins change, the guy didn't keep his eye on which

523
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: part of the bench did was coming off of, and

524
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: it let him get that step to get behind the guy.

525
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm glad they could make the playoffs, but it's becoming

526
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: more of a veteran team, which I don't like. Gachari's

527
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: doing a lot and good for him. Scored a big

528
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: goal yesterday, but it doesn't feel like moving forward. It

529
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: just feels like scrambling to get in the playoffs, like

530
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: another team in town.

531
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: It does feel like that in a lot of ways.

532
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 2: But I still think you see the progress happening with

533
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: the kids, and that's encouraging. Like Kendall was awesome against

534
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 2: the Red Wings.

535
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: They scratched McGroarty. I know Quivenen scored though when they

536
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: put him back in the lineup.

537
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 4: Yah.

538
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: Kids in their first year in the NHL need a break.

539
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 3: I am cognizant of that.

540
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: But at the same time, you know you have a

541
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: lot of time off right now. You're off today, tomorrow

542
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: and Wednesday before you are home against New Jersey. You know,

543
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: maybe read the schedule a little bit and use one

544
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 2: of those scratches when it gets clogged up. More like,

545
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: you could have probably afforded to play McGroarty and he

546
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: would have had a reset just naturally if.

547
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: You want to make the playoffs, you know, as opposed

548
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: to rebuilding, call it morishof. I know they want to

549
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: leave him in the miners to develop the whole year,

550
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: but why should he be the one oasis of development

551
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: in a season that has suddenly and clearly changed priority

552
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: to making the playoffs.

553
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 3: Now.

554
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: Morrishov has struggled a bit lately in Wilkesbury, got pulled

555
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: a couple of times, but he's the best goalie in

556
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: the system.

557
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 3: And Shilloff sucks hill Offs is so bad.

558
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: I would honestly rather see if Bloomquest would come up

559
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: and do it more of a rotation with Skinner before

560
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 2: I want to see Shilov still be in the net.

561
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 3: But Marshov's the answer you got to bring.

562
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: Here I have people in the organization tell me that

563
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: Morrishoff right now is the best goal in the organization,

564
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: So get him up here. If indeed you have switched

565
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: your priority to trying to get a playoff spot, and you've.

566
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 2: Seen him a couple of times already this year, there's

567
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 2: no evidence that would indicate that, you know, he would

568
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: completely collapse developmentally. By being a part of a tandem

569
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: with Skinner at the NHL level for the rest of

570
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: the year.

571
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: It for sure be better than shill offfs that, you know,

572
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: Like I said, if you've changed priority, then you call

573
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: him up in as far as sid I mean, he's

574
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: an alien, like I said, he's got a seven game

575
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: point streak now, three multi point games in a row,

576
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: and he is just flying.

577
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 3: He is like a rocket out there.

578
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 2: At what point, mark does the pressure shift on the

579
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: Penguins where they got to make the playoffs?

580
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 3: Like full stop?

581
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 2: I know there's still six points between them and the

582
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: bottom of the East, but like you don't want to

583
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 2: be ninth, you don't want to be tenth, and they're

584
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: flirting with that badly. So your point with Mushov and said,

585
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: being an alien, he's never gonna let.

586
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

587
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: What do you mean, by god it do you mean

588
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: in terms of there being consequences if they do or don't.

589
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: I I just think making the playoffs would be its

590
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: own reward and not would would not I mean it wouldn't.

591
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 3: Result in changes. No, no, no, I'm not saying that, but

592
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: it would just be an.

593
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: I think what you're trying to get at is the

594
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: worst thing to do would be to finish, Yes, you know,

595
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: in the first spot out of the playoffs.

596
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 2: Or the second spot, And it looks like you're circling

597
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 2: that right now. So make sure you're in that playoff spot.

598
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: Call Mushov up and to the point of falling out

599
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 2: of the playoff spot and going the other way. As

600
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: you've referenced Sid being an alien a couple times in

601
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 2: this segment, he's just not gonna let you do that.

602
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 3: He's on pace for forty eight goals this year. I

603
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: just saw a.

604
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: Tweet, why are you guys talking about hockey? Well, because

605
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: we talk about hockey. I like hockey. By my way,

606
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: would talk hockey and the Penguins old goddamn day. And

607
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: like I said, there's never been a better time to not.

608
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 2: Listen Pittsburgh's not happy that the Penguins won five straight

609
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,239
Speaker 2: games or three wins away from just completely erasing an

610
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: eight game losing streak.

611
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 3: That doesn't make Pittsburgh sports fans happy at all. Pittsburgh sucks.

612
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: You know.

613
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: You know who played pretty good mostly in the game

614
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: of Teacher was the new guy. Chinnikov scored That goalie

615
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: looks pretty good. Now, I will say maybe it's new

616
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: guy energy. You see that all the time, and not

617
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: least in hockey where a guy comes in wants to

618
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: make an impression. In Chinnikov's case, probably relieved to get

619
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: out of what was a bad situation for him with

620
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: the gorky coach at Columbus who didn't like him. So

621
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: so I'm not, you know, putting too much stock into

622
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: it being a long term thing just yet.

623
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 2: But I like what we've seen from the kiss and

624
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: he energized Kendalla McGroarty when he skated with them at

625
00:26:58,760 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: first and then.

626
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: Kind and then Chinikov fits is off the breakaway. My god,

627
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: what a great moment that was in that Detroit game.

628
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: And then Kendall and Chinnikov and Columbus's game against with

629
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: Koiven in so you know, Chinnikov rotating in with the

630
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: kids on that third line. It's it's worked really well.

631
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 2: It's helped the kids out tremendously so far. But it's

632
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 2: been two games.

633
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 3: Tom, I I do want to get back to steelersn't Ravens.

634
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 3: For second. Henry only got twenty carries? Was that enough?

635
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: Lamar did have very good passing numbers, and I can't

636
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: fault Lamar because he did rally them. But but you know,

637
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: the game plan wasn't quite what I expected, and I

638
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: would have liked seen Henry get more carries from a Baltimore.

639
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 3: Perspective, Yeah, I would too.

640
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: There were so many times throughout that game that I

641
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: was seeing the backup in and the backup getting carries

642
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: on like third and short situations or just you know,

643
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: last game of the year. You should not be veering

644
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: away from Henry even a little bit. So I was

645
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 2: surprised that he only got twenty carries. That being said,

646
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: I mean, the Ravens went out there and executed a

647
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 2: game plan that should have won them the game if

648
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: the Cacker makes a forty four yard field goal. So

649
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 2: it's hard to say, you know that, Harbaugh, you know

650
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 2: pulled one of his Harbaugh master classes of blowing it

651
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: because they ran for one hundred and thirty seven yards.

652
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 3: Jackson played like an MVP in big moments.

653
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: Well, Lamar's twenty eight. I think he came into the

654
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: league when he was twenty. He's been around quite a

655
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: little long time. It feels like he's just not gonna win.

656
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 1: A part of it's his fault. Part of it just

657
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: because it's in their DNA now of box. Things like

658
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: we saw at the end of the game last night.

659
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: If it wouldn't have been a kicker missing, I don't know,

660
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: if somebody would have fumbled, they would have. They always

661
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: find a way to screw up and lose.

662
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 3: They really do. So it's it's hard.

663
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to pull the plug jest yet on him.

664
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: He's so good, but it's it's hard to say that

665
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: he's going to break through and win. It just it

666
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: seems like that franchise just is going to get in

667
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: their own way all the time.

668
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: I just saw another tweet that that you know, not

669
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: we but in general that people aren't giving Calmon enough respect. Hey,

670
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't feel like Tom was brilliant last night. I

671
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 1: think if they would have lost, he would have absorbed

672
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: a lot of blame. I don't feel like anybody was

673
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: extremely praiseworthy but Rogers, and even that, just what he

674
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: did at the.

675
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 2: End, Rogers was extremely praise. Whors he Hayward was just

676
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: as extremely praiseworthy on defense. He controlled the entire game

677
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: defensively for the Steelers. No, there were some other players

678
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: that had, you know, big time moments. But again, stop

679
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: taking the victory lap. Nothing really has been accomplished yet. Sure,

680
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: you won the AFC North and you beat your rival,

681
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: you have got to win this playoff game.

682
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: You know.

683
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: It's funny if you went through all the people locally

684
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: on Twitter praising Tomlin, like you can see the narrative

685
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: like for each like his history of how he props

686
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: him up, why he props him up being under the ten.

687
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 3: It's just I don't know. I don't know. I just

688
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 3: if that's what floats their boat, but I wouldn't do it. Okay,

689
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 3: so they lose on Monday, what's different. I'm a truther,

690
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: I'm a factor.

691
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: What's different? If they lose one factory, that's a factor. No,

692
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 2: it's not a sayer of truth. Yeah, but the factor

693
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 2: means you were a factor in something. I'm thinking fact r.

694
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that's not a word. But you know

695
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, like they lose Monday, exact spot that

696
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: you are in the last year. What I'm saying, so

697
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: you had no progress and we're gonna say we should

698
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: give tom On credit.

699
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: It's been the same thing for me years.

700
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: All Aaron Rodgers has done is the exact same thing

701
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson did last year, same record and everything.

702
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 3: It's gotta be a decent day, a mix of sun

703
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: and clock.

704
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: Thanks to Senderova, Shendrovich and Fisherman for sponsoring the first.

705
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 3: Hour of this program every day. Now let's go to

706
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: Tommy Radio because he's got the trifecta.

707
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: People aren't gonna like this trifecta today, Mark, There's so

708
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: there's so much you're gonna love it. There's so much

709
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: optimism that has to do with the Steelers.

710
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 3: But I know that's not good rated or preface something

711
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 3: by saying you're not gonna like this. I mean I

712
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: do it all the time, trust me, you want to.

713
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna establish Star.

714
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 2: These are three things that I took away Star. I said, yes,

715
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: you are that the established star. These are three things

716
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: that I took away though from that game that were

717
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: just they were bad for the Steelers, and I'm worried

718
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 2: about them moving forward for this game against the Texans.

719
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: Number three is Chris Boswell. Yeah, I know it might

720
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 2: have gotten blocked that pat, But that's three straight games

721
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: now that he's missed a kick. What's going on? Actually

722
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 2: during a break here, I watched it again on YouTube.

723
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 2: He did indeed hook it into a block. He mishit

724
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: the kick, Yeah, it was on him.

725
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: I think. So there is concern with Chris Boswell.

726
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: I still trot him out there for a fifty five

727
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 2: yard or if you have to against Houston. I don't hesitate.

728
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 2: I'm not there yet, but you're thinking about it a

729
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: little bit. It's not as automatic you got to do it.

730
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: You know why I didn't say he wouldn't do it.

731
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: Because you don't have the offense to take what has

732
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: been your biggest point producer out of the mix.

733
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 3: Just not as automatic as it used. Do you think

734
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: he shanked it on purpose that he? Yes? I do too.

735
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 3: You know who would know? Sterrator Number two is Ramsey?

736
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: I mean just Wolf.

737
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: I mean, what a terrible performance from him in that game,

738
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: burned by Flowers, burned by Likely. It's like, no matter

739
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: who he tried to cover, he just got burned by.

740
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: And yeah he was. He was there on the two

741
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns and the likely catch game right all over the way.

742
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you that likely cast and the throw

743
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,479
Speaker 1: by Jack. So that was a thing of beauty.

744
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 3: It was. I mean, you still got to make the play.

745
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 2: You're Jalen Ramsey, You're supposed to be this great safety.

746
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: Now make the transition. You stabilize the back end of

747
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: the Steelers defense. Go make a play there and win

748
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: the win the game, win the division for the Steelers.

749
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: But the number one thing worried so far time, the

750
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 2: number one thing I'm full of concern, even more concern coming.

751
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: Oh god, they still did not commit to running the

752
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 2: damn football in this game.

753
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: That's Rogers. It's maddening. Yeah, what were the numbers, I

754
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: said him a minute ago.

755
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: They ran it what twenty seven times to the pass

756
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 2: of forty four forty seven passes, twenty four rounds. I

757
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: had it backwards there, twenty four runs, forty seven passes,

758
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 2: and every time you handed the ball off to Warren,

759
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 2: it seemed like he made something happen in that game.

760
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: At one point he was averaging close to six yards

761
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: of carry. That came down a little bit as the

762
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 2: game wore on, but he was effective every time.

763
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 3: They just get away from it way too much. You

764
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 3: can't do that against Houston.

765
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: If Rogers stands back to pass in the pocket against

766
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: the Texans, he'll get sacked fifteen times.

767
00:32:58,800 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: That's the trifecta.

768
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: Brought this by Danny's patron, Hogy's family owned and operator

769
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: since nineteen sixty.

770
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 3: That's Standy's on Root eighty eight and Bethel Park.

771
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: Tell them, you know, it's a great debate that you're

772
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: gonna see all over the national media like ESPN, the

773
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: chat shows, the debate shows, but you won't here in Pittsburgh.

774
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: Is you got the NFC South champ finished under five hundred.

775
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 3: That's Carolina at eight and nine.

776
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: They play the La Rams at twelve and five, the

777
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: number one wild card, and the game is at Carolina

778
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: because Carolina won the division and the usual suspects are bleeding.

779
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: Oh that's wrong. An eight and nine teams shouldn't get

780
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: a home game.

781
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: Well, of course they should because they won their division

782
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: in them as the rules if the eight and nine

783
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: team is so rotten, then the twelve and five teams

784
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: should have no problem winning. And if you don't want

785
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: division winners to automatically get the home game, then the

786
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: divisions mean nothing and don't have them no more. AFC

787
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: North football. To be said, with great gravitas, AFC North football.

788
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: I mean, could the NFC South champ beat the Brons

789
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 3: in Cleveland because the Steelers couldn't but in Pittsburgh. Again,

790
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: I took a long time to get to this conclusion.

791
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: Tom, nobody will bitch because the ten and seven Steelers,

792
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: champions of the AFC North, are hosting Houston, who were

793
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: twelve and five. Ain't nobody saying that's unfair?

794
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, even though the Houston Texans are two games better

795
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 2: than the Steelers. You're absolutely correct when it comes to

796
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: the division.

797
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 3: Take.

798
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: If someone would say, sure, abolished divisions, just see them

799
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 2: one through seven, then you got me, all right, Fine,

800
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: then if you want to do it that way, do

801
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 2: it that way. But I have a feeling that most

802
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 2: of the people that you gripe about this and say

803
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: the Panthers shouldn't host that game would then also be like, oh,

804
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 2: you can't abolish divisions.

805
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?

806
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 2: There's so much tradition with these rivalries and playing these

807
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: teams twice.

808
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 3: That's stupid. You can't have it both ways.

809
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 2: The division has to mean something, and what you said

810
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 2: is the most true thing. If the Panthers are eight

811
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,479
Speaker 2: to nine and as crappy as people think, the Rams

812
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 2: will have no problem going in there and stomping them.

813
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: But five weeks ago the Rams went to Carolina and

814
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: lost by three, so it might not be as easy

815
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 2: as it looks.

816
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: How about Sam Donald in Seattle? They got the number

817
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: one seed, right.

818
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: He's the only quarterback in NFL history aside from Tom Brady,

819
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 2: to win fourteen games and back to back regular seasons.

820
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: And they did get the number one seed, number one

821
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 2: overall seed.

822
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they beat Seattle. That's how they Wait, No,

823
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 3: they beat San Francisco right right now, Saran Fran asked

824
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 3: to play on the road. It's not far. It's not fair.

825
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 3: It's not fair, yo.

826
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: If you want to win now, the Stealers should have

827
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: got Sam Donald for like a three year deal whatever overpay?

828
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, what does Seattle give him?

829
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 2: I don't like sixty millions? So it was like close

830
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 2: to the Baker Mayfield deal that he got in Tampa Bville.

831
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: What three years something like that. I'll look it up

832
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 2: for sure, But you overpay for a guy like that.

833
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: Why would Sam Donald want to come to the Pittsburgh though, Mark,

834
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 2: I'll take your line. Why would he want to come

835
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: here and play for no? Given the choice between there

836
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: in Seattle.

837
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean he's a better quarterback than Grandpa

838
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: game manager. I I'm not going back on that label

839
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: because Rogers had a couple of good drives at the

840
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: end of the game last night.

841
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam Donald signed through twenty twenty seven, made about

842
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 2: two year deal there. Cap hit annually, he's about thirty

843
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 2: three point nine million, that's what mean your twenty twenty seven?

844
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: That would be two more years. I'm sorry, Yeah, two

845
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: more years. Thirty three million was his cap hit this

846
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 2: coming season. Not that much money for him.

847
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: You know what for a quarterback, Well, they didn't know

848
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: he'd win fourteen games two years in a row. But

849
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: for a legitimate top of the line, like he's top

850
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 1: even before this year. I know he was a journeyman

851
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: before he had the great year at Minnesota, and part

852
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: of that I thought was because Kevin O'Connell, the Minnesota coach,

853
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: is such a great offensive mind. But apparently they know

854
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: what they're doing in Seattle too, Like, yeah, they in retrospect.

855
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 3: They got to bargain.

856
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you would pay that to any quarterback if

857
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: you could win your fourteen games.

858
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 2: He's just got to get it done now in the playoffs.

859
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: He's got to get to at least the NFC Championship

860
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 2: game and win a playoff game.

861
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 3: He is his last step.

862
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: I hate to pressure him, like saying this year is

863
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: useless if he doesn't do that, because I know Minnesota

864
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: flamed that early last year.

865
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: But here's a guy whose career was thought to be

866
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 3: dead and buried.

867
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: He played for how many teams, and now he's one

868
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: of two quarterbacks, like you said, only him and Tom

869
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: Brady have won fourteen games two years in a row.

870
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: So while I think it would certainly burnish his legacy further,

871
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: if indeed a guy like Sam Darnold has a legacy

872
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: at all, you know, to win a playoff game, I'm

873
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: not going to crucify the guy if he don't, because

874
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: he's achieved far more than than I ever thought possible.

875
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: I agree, he's already a success story. I agree with

876
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: you there, but he has an opportunity to take it

877
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: to a whole other level, to kind of, you know,

878
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: become bigger than what we could have ever imagined he'd

879
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: become after his flameout in the Jets, if he wins

880
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: a playoff game, if he accomplishes that, Now is your

881
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: super Bowl favorite in the NFC? In the NFC, yep,

882
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: I kind of like because that's where the big boys play.

883
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 3: I kind of like the Eagles. I kind of think

884
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 3: their defense is just so dumb much funny they play,

885
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 3: they play who are they playing the first round?

886
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 2: The Niners. It's unbelievable. It's such a heavyweight fight in

887
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 2: the first round. San Franz going to Philly. Yeah, well,

888
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 2: whenever that might win the Super Bowl.

889
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: It looked like they might play the Rams, Yeah, because

890
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: they've beaten the Rams a bunch of times.

891
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: But I think the Eagles are gonna get killed by

892
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 3: Sam do you think?

893
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 4: Yeah?

894
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 2: I don't know if their defense will allow them to

895
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: get killed. Their defense is point it's one of the

896
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 2: best in football. So you're pick to win, pick one

897
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: team in the NFC. One team to win in the NFC.

898
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 2: I'll pick the Eagles. I'll say they go back to

899
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. I'm gonna pick Seattle. I think the

900
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: brat will trust Darnold. I want to pick the Rams.

901
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 2: They've been playing some crappy football, like.

902
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: Oh, so you know what now that I said, I

903
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: think the bracket will fall for them if the Eagles.

904
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 3: Wait, the Eagles are seeded above. They won the division.

905
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: Eagles are the three seed right now. Okay, the Bears

906
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 2: are the two seeds. What.

907
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind playing the Bears in any playoff game,

908
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 3: just first time there. Caleb Williams still, you know. I mean,

909
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 3: he's in the big time, but it's one thing to

910
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 3: have the season he had in another win.

911
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: Playoff game and they drew green Bay. I mean, you

912
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: want to talk about that logo coming into your stadium

913
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: right away. I think you don't kill green Bay. They should,

914
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: but green Bay owns the Chicago Bear. Did you think

915
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 2: green Bay might move on from Matt Lafleur. I think

916
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: that would be pretty drastic of a move. I think

917
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 2: he's a pretty solid coach, but he's having some struggles

918
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: winning in the playoffs.

919
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 3: Getting over that hump. I'd fire Tom and hire him.

920
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 3: So many you want to fire.

921
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: Fired Tom and har Stefanski at Hard Lafleur, who the

922
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: other guy said he Morris for he Morris.

923
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 3: That's too far. Morris is too far.

924
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: If I thought Pete Carroll's oxygen wouldn't give out.

925
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 3: Fired Tom wanted and hire him one oh five ninety

926
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 3: x
