1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm joined now by Tommy Radio, who was fired yesterday

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: but it's back today.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 2: Tom.

4
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: How convinced are you by last night's win? It felt

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: like the second half was excellent for the Steelers. I

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: also felt like Miami collapsed.

7
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: It's a great win.

8
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 3: I don't want to come in here on Tuesday and

9
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 3: take away from it, but I don't think Miami was

10
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 3: as good as that four game winning streak that they

11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 3: were on kind of might have deceived people into thinking

12
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 3: they were well.

13
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: I think they were that good, but against bad teams.

14
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: I think they beat who they should very fair, and

15
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: then they didn't beat the Steelers.

16
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 3: Right, they pull an upset up against Buffalo two to

17
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: kind of start that four game streak. But I still

18
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 3: think people are getting ahead of themselves prematurely. Surprise, surprise.

19
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 3: Why don't we wait until we see what happens in

20
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: Detroit before we know for sure what these Steelers could

21
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: be in these next couple weeks and leading into the playoffs.

22
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: That's a real test. I know that, I know. No,

23
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: I think Detroit is a real test.

24
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Yes, that said, I think, and we'll talk more about this,

25
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: but I think it's sitting up well. The Steelers to

26
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: win the game because Detroit's DB's.

27
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: Are all hurt. You know, they got great offense.

28
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: Yes, they score more points than anybody, but I don't

29
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: it just feels like a game the Steelers could win.

30
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: Detroit's eight and six. I think the blooms off their rows.

31
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: They're not as good without the coordinators that they lost

32
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: in the offseason. Campbell's more of a motivator, but also

33
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: a lot of a meathead, So I don't know what

34
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: it feels.

35
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: Ripe wouldn't be surprised if that's what the Lions do

36
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: this offseason, move in a different direction with their coordinators,

37
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: kind of shuffle the deck there, because you're right, they

38
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: just retain guys, right, they're just demoted, Yeah, promoted from within,

39
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: and they're clearly lacking on both sides of the ball.

40
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: That being said, they're much closer to a Super Bowl

41
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: contender than the Steelers are. NFC is just so deep.

42
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: They just might be out of luck this season, a

43
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: lost season in the Jared Goff Dan Campbell window for them.

44
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: It's just a problem to me to trust the Steelers

45
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: run defense still, and that's what it's gonna come down

46
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: to against Detroit because they're gonna try to run it

47
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: down your throat with Jamiir Gibbs and Montgomery, and you

48
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: had a great showing against the Dolphins in that department,

49
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: but you're too inconsistent there for me to trust it

50
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 3: to go to Detroit and play well again.

51
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 2: And it's indoors, it's on the road.

52
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of factors. Detroit's obviously a much better

53
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: team than Miami, although again the record doesn't reply at

54
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: this point. You are what you are and all the

55
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Lions are is eight and six. We'll talk more about

56
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: that game in a bit, but Gainwell was the man,

57
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: and he's an example of how Rogers can get enamored

58
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: with lower level players and you know, elevate them to

59
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: some degree.

60
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 2: Anyway, he just kept feeding Gainwell.

61
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, but when they do that mark and they show

62
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: commitment to Gainwell, it pays dividends for their running game

63
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: in Dublin.

64
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: When anybody any running back in the running game in general,

65
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: it's they gotta do it.

66
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: Warren was very blah last night, but he was sick. Yes,

67
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 3: I think he was sick. I think he was dealing

68
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: with something. But anytime that Gainwell seems to kind of

69
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: become that quote unquote feature guy in the running game.

70
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: He works really well for that, so I would lean

71
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: on that more moving forward.

72
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I still think less is more with a

73
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: guy like gain Well, and I think he's proven that

74
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: over the course of his career. I think he's a

75
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: good backup, but a backup nonetheless.

76
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: Not trying to bench Warren. Yeah, he still needs to play.

77
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, the offense was vanilla, but it was

78
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: good vanillah. But the defense was intense full credit where

79
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: it's too. Good numbers and their most physical game of

80
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: the year. Even Patrick Queen was flying around out there.

81
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: No, it was an awesome performance from the defense. No wa,

82
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: no harmon.

83
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: Are they better without TJ?

84
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 3: Watts?

85
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: Do you get that radio? He takes no.

86
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: No, But I think he's out for the season, so

87
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be.

88
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: I thought her Big was quiet.

89
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: He made that one tackle almost by the seat of

90
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: his pants that might have kept the A train from

91
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: going the distance. But I thought those three guys, the

92
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: edge guys, were only okay, you know, you know what.

93
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: The best stats of the three the modern day warrior

94
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Jack Sawyer.

95
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: He's a good run.

96
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: I think there might have been some special teams tackles

97
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: play special teams. Correct, you have had some special teams tackles,

98
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: but those guys were quiet.

99
00:03:58,760 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: Then again, maybe they contained.

100
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: He's a good run stuff for Jack Sawyer. That's really

101
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: what you drafted him for. It wasn't really a pass

102
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: rush game against Tua and the Dolphins. They run the

103
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: ball a ton and anytime Tua does drop back to pass,

104
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: it's a lot of quick stuff that McDaniel schemes up.

105
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: You know, that backfoot hits and that ball needs to

106
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 3: be out. Look, I was joking when I said are

107
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: they better without TJ.

108
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: Watt?

109
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: But let's see over these next couple of weeks, because

110
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 3: I don't think it's disputable that wat has lost a

111
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 3: step and high Smith and herbig are faster coming off

112
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: of that ball than what is So I wouldn't be

113
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: surprised in a game against golf coming up where you

114
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: actually need more of a pass rush, but they wouldn't thrive.

115
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: How about when DK shrugged off Mika just blasted him

116
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: on the way to the end zone.

117
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: That was good stuff.

118
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 3: It reminded me of when Derrick Henry shoved Minca into

119
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: the dirt last year in Minca's last game as a Pittsburgh.

120
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: Its finding me when DK Metcalfe used to do stuff

121
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: like that for Settle with Seattle.

122
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's just the Mica Fitzpatrick just it's such

123
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: a tough go with these stiff arms against these big players.

124
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's finally what you're asking for with DK

125
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 3: two straight weeks where you're getting your money's worth. Now,

126
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: the ball wasn't exactly there, but he had big impactful

127
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: catches in that game.

128
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: Rogers was very efficient. Full credit Once again, the word

129
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: is vanilla. He also kept adding and doing different and

130
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: doing better and getting more guys involved as the game

131
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: went on. Maybe he's playing chess and they're playing checkers.

132
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: We got some sound later. I think it's Kyle Brandt

133
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: talked about how this was a vintage Rogers game.

134
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't.

135
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: It was a real good forty two year old quarterbacks game,

136
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: but nonetheless very good.

137
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: I think it was vintage in the aspect of, you know,

138
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: it's two degrees outside and you can't really just be

139
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 3: dropping back and throwing for like five hundred yards four

140
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 3: touchdowns in that weather. I mean, maybe sometimes you can

141
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 3: if you're Rodgers in your prime, but you got to

142
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: really rely on savviness in games like that, and his

143
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: efficiency was incredible throughout that entire game, incomplete command. It

144
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: was like two quarterbacks on the other ends of the

145
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: spectrum last night, one just completely in command of everything

146
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: and one that just looked like he was in quicksand

147
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 3: all night long.

148
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 2: The team is so old.

149
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: The Steelers are so old after the game, looks like

150
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: old men at a retirement home celebrating a win at

151
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: shuffle boarder bingo.

152
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: I mean, especially Rogers.

153
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: Well, and then I love the sound too from Rogers

154
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: after the game, where he's like rattling off the island

155
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: of misfit toys that they have like a bunch of

156
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 3: cast off.

157
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: Which is a bunch of bs. We're gonna play that

158
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: song later. It's a bunch of bs. And then he

159
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: said I'm not a cast off. Well, of course you are.

160
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: You got cut by the.

161
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: Jets want you dude.

162
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 3: Hey, that was a mistake by then, don't get me wrong,

163
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 3: but you are by definition of cast off.

164
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: I don't think it was a mistake.

165
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: By No, they're terrible, but they're just not moving forward

166
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: with an old guy like him at quarterback, just like

167
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers aren't moving forward.

168
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: It's whenever you get a guy.

169
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: Of that age, whether it's Rogers, Rivers now with Indy, whoever,

170
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: it's a stop gap.

171
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 3: Well, the Jets will never move forward, so they'll take anything.

172
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: Like I said, I am impressed by the win. I

173
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: still don't see the Steelers winning a playoff game. The

174
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: only matchup that's possible, well, I mean there's a lot possible,

175
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: but of the three teams most likely, the only matchup

176
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't hate is a team that already killed the

177
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: Steelers this year, and that's the LA Chargers.

178
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: I think they could beat the Chargers in Pittsburgh.

179
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: You hate Jacksonville. You're nervous about Jacksonville if they somehow

180
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: snuck into that five seed spot, which is very likely

181
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: their ten win team right now, What I mean, why

182
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: do you say that's likely that they could get the

183
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: five seed. They have ten wins, they're right in the

184
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 3: hunt with Buffalo and with the Chargers. They're a good team,

185
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: they're playing great football. I think of those teams, they're

186
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: the likeliest to fade to not be the five seed.

187
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: You know, you're one win away. If they win this

188
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: week and the Colts lose, they're in they're locked into

189
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: a playoff spot. So the fade maybe out of that scenario,

190
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: but not out of the playoff picture. The Jags will

191
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: be in the playoffs this year.

192
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: Well, who's winning that division? The Jags, Houston.

193
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: There's still Houston's probably going to catch up to the

194
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: Jags do But right now it's Houston. No, right now,

195
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: it's Jacksonville in the first place spot for no, no, no.

196
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: But but Houston's a wild card, right Houston, because the

197
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: Steels wouldn't beat Euston, defense, would break Rogers in half.

198
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 3: No chance. I think Houston might break everybody in half.

199
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: Houston might be my pick to go to the Super

200
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: Bowl this year. Houston Buffalo feels like the answer.

201
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: Chagion in a very disjointed AFC. I do think Houston

202
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: could could make a run. No, I I'd be okay

203
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: with playing Jacksonville. I think that would be a toss

204
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: up in order of preference. Okay, of the teams, I

205
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: would like to play LA Chargers first, Jacksonville two, Houston

206
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: a Buffalo.

207
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: Not at all under any Stark stagreed.

208
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: I completely agree with that the Chargers that the tackle

209
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: injuries are gonna catch up to them. Eventually, and Herbert

210
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: is just really banged up and battling through a lot

211
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: right now.

212
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: Like if the Steelers played the Bills best to seven,

213
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers the Buffalo team, the Buffalo would win in four,

214
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: they'd sweep them. And if the Steelers played Houston, it

215
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: wouldn't go for it because Houston would have killed too

216
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: many guys on the Steelers offense, because not only is

217
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: their defense great, Tom, it is unbelievably physical. Yeah, it's

218
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: like it like people always pretend the Steelers had this

219
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: old school mentality, and they were very physical last night,

220
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: full credit, yes, but Houston's like that every week they

221
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: f you up.

222
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: And with also his old school and kind of old

223
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 3: school Steelers. Just about them is they do line up

224
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 3: and just say beat us. We're not gonna disguise anything.

225
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 3: We're not gonna, you know, trick you with coverages. We're

226
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: not gonna blit. It's just a four man rush and

227
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: the people that you see pre snap that's going to

228
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: cover that receiver. That's what's gonna happen, and you're not

229
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 3: gonna be able to beat it anyway. That's intimidating.

230
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: We'll be back with more Steeler talk some of the stuff,

231
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers said, is interesting and of course we got

232
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: the Penguins hosting Edmonton tonight. Can you imagine if the

233
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: Penguins lead three to nil at the end of two,

234
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: it will be squeaky bum time all over again. That said,

235
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: it might be six nil Edmondon and McDavid will have

236
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: five points oh five nine.

237
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: It's the Mark Mann Show on one O five nine

238
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 2: d X.

239
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm excited about the Steeler win, make no mistake, but

240
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: the overreaction is well underweight, like it is after every

241
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: single time they win. Aaron Rodgers said, Hopefully the belief

242
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: is starting to pick up on quote, well, are you

243
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: trying to convince yes or are you trying to convince

244
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: yourself the locker room. I mean it's week sixteen coming up.

245
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: In terms of marshaling some additional belief, I guess it's

246
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: now or never. I believe the Dolphins being bummy had

247
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: a lot to do with what happened last night, especially

248
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: in the second half. But full credit, the Steelers did

249
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: pick up the opportunity and absolutely take over that touchdown

250
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half to take a

251
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: seven to three lead, salvage the craft first half If

252
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: they had gone to the intermission don three nil, that

253
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: would not have been good. That would have been a

254
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: bad locker room. But the touchdown at the end of

255
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: the first half picked him up. And then they took

256
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: the kickoff to open the second half and went right

257
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: down and scored. Game over. Game over. I said it

258
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: then game over, And you know what, the weirdest part

259
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: of the whole game might have been. I mentioned this

260
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: at the top of the show. The Steelers dominated Miami

261
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: physically and did so big time. When's the last time

262
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers did that. Patrick Queen even looked like a

263
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: football player, made some hits. He was flying around. Here's

264
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: the PostScript to the game, Tom, did you see who

265
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: got released today by the New York Jets?

266
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: I did, Mark. It's very exciting. Do you think he's

267
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: going to be coming to Pittsburgh.

268
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: Let's say who it is. If you're just tuning in,

269
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: this is the breaking news. Alan Lazar released by the

270
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: Jets at his request. It makes you wonder if Uncle

271
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: Aaron weren't on the phone to Alan Lazard say hey,

272
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: come on down here and join the gang and f Calvin, Austin,

273
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: f Roman, Wilson fam You know but but I hope

274
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: they don't do that.

275
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: It would not surprise me if they did.

276
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: It would not surprise me one bit if they did,

277
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: because this is so clearly Rogers is doing this overhaul

278
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: that's happening in the receiving room. He did the right

279
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 3: thing publicly in training camping throughout the season, saying he

280
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 3: likes Austin, he likes Roman Wilson. He clearly does not.

281
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 3: That's people sure, probably I don't.

282
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: Think he likes John new and from Maybe I got

283
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: involved more last night, but that but some of that

284
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: was garbagee time and they gave John who the carry

285
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: for the touchdown late, But it's not like those two

286
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: guys were involved. They love the fat kid, and I

287
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: think Rogers loves the fat kid too.

288
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: I think he's the driving force behind that driving force

289
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: behind MVS and theland being here. Would not be surprised

290
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: if Alan Lazard comes in and Calvin Austen maybe becomes

291
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: a scratch.

292
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: Rogers, as I mentioned, wants the belief to pick up.

293
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: It is two wins in a row for the first

294
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: time in a couple months. They are in first place

295
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: in AFC North. Is it anything to get excited about?

296
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned, didn't it sound like he was trying

297
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: to talk himself into it.

298
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 3: It is something to get slightly excited about because at

299
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: least they're not completely spinning out the ya.

300
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: That's how I described it, Tom, slightly.

301
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: Excited, slightly excited because you're not spinning out, which of

302
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 3: my age, is the best I can do. Last year,

303
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 3: it just completely went to crap on the death stretch.

304
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: It didn't happen this year in that case. Now the

305
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: schedule's not as tough as it was last year, but

306
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: still it just all comes down to this game for

307
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: me on Sunday. Even if you lose this game to Detroit,

308
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: but it's like it's a good game and you play

309
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: really good football. I have a little bit more belief

310
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: going down the stretch. And then if you follow that

311
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: up by beating the Browns and the Ravens to go

312
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: into the playoffs, yeah, I think you can get the

313
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: playoff win. I think you can accomplish that if the

314
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 3: matchup falls in your face.

315
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: Let me tell you where I would believe they get

316
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: the playoff win. If they win out, yeah, beat the Lions.

317
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

318
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: If they beat the Lions, beat Cleveland, beat Baltimore, then

319
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: they have five wins in a row, then it would

320
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: be a little bit little bit reminiscent of two thousand

321
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: and five, although that team was on the rise.

322
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, this team is a bunch of senior citizens.

323
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 3: Quarterback was in his second year. Then, yeah, it's a

324
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 3: completely different thing, would it. You put it past them

325
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: to do their typical thing, go to Detroit, beat the Lions,

326
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 3: have this tidal wave of momentum, and lose the game

327
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: in Cleveland.

328
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 2: Like, so, I mean, is the best quarterback in the league.

329
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. Yeah, so that's possible. No, I

330
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: think it would surprise me less if they lose the next.

331
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: Two after Detroit.

332
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: If they if you made me predict what's going to happen,

333
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: they lose at Detroit narrowly and win at Cleveland narrowly.

334
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

335
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: My most second most likely prediction is they lose too straight,

336
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: and the others that they win too straight. But I

337
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: think any of those three legitimately could happen. I think

338
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: it's that kind of team and that kind of year.

339
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: I think the probability will tell you that they would

340
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: lose to the Detroit Lions, and then they'd probably beat

341
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: the Browns and beat the Ravens to finish out. But

342
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: I feel like that's the least likely of what's going

343
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: to happen, Even though if the odds might say that

344
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: is what should happen, I just don't see it playing

345
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: that way.

346
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: I'm told Wat is out for the year. Tom. Can

347
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: the Steelers win playoff games without what?

348
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: Sure?

349
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 3: They don't win playoff games with TJ.

350
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: Watt?

351
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: What's the difference?

352
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: Very well?

353
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: Put You know what's amazing is the Steelers got their

354
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: four string left tackle in there, and the O line

355
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: doesn't stink. We very often criticize that offensive line and

356
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: the coaching and the fact that a lot of their

357
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: younger players weren't progressing a tackle in particular, but now

358
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: it is coalescing. I give a lot of credit at

359
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: propping up the four string left tackle in this case

360
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: still and cook to Isaac Ciamalo would guard on the

361
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: left side. But now he is going to be limited

362
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: this week, and god forbid, he can't play at Detroit.

363
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 3: That's a huge worry because he clearly is the anchor

364
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: for that entire offensive line. You want Fatano to become

365
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: that at some point. You would love love Proderck Jones

366
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: at one point to become that guy. He probably never will,

367
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: but right now at Ciamalo, he's your best offensive lineman.

368
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: He's kind of that driving force there, and you're right

369
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 3: what he's been able to do with Jones when he

370
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 3: was healthy, making that transition as smooth as you could

371
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: possibly have it, I think with Broderick Jones not being

372
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: that good of a left tackle, I think and now

373
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: with Dylan Cook, Andrew's Pete, whoever's out there, he really

374
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: seems to be lifting them up and elevating them. But

375
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: it gets a lot harder if he's not able to go.

376
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: Now on the defensive side of the line, how do

377
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: you think the Steelers shut down a pretty good Miami

378
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: running game not having a watt and harmon.

379
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it had to do with

380
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: the Dolphins just not committing to the run. Now they

381
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: weren't converting on third downs. Miami was actually looking like

382
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: the Steelers offense looked at a long portion of the

383
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 3: season where they just couldn't convert and stay on the field,

384
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 3: and they weren't running a lot of plays, but they

385
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: averaged a decent amount on the ground, Like a Chane

386
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: had twelve carries for sixty yards. He wasn't exactly, you know,

387
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 3: getting stuffed every single time.

388
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: Oh that's five yards of carry. That's great.

389
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 3: I think a lack of commitment for the Dolphins definitely

390
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: played into this.

391
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: Now, you got out to a big lead, so it's.

392
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Funny because the Dolphins dropped their commitment, the Steelers finally

393
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: held theirs with the run game.

394
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: You forced them to do that though, because you got

395
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: out to the lead fourteen to three, the double score

396
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 3: at halftime and coming out of the locker room, so

397
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: you forced them to have to throw the football, which

398
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: is great. Big part of this was doing that. And

399
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 3: you know how a lot of times Mark you say

400
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: you want to dominate time of possession to keep a

401
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 3: great quarterback off the field. They kind of did that,

402
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 3: but with a great running game, they just didn't give

403
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 3: the Dolphins the opportunities to use it a lot.

404
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Steelers actually one time of possession helpfully. Yeah,

405
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: first time, long time. How about the first two touchdowns

406
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: were both scored by mascots Tom Connor, Hayward the Brother

407
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Act and then MBS who was Rogers's caddy. That inspired me.

408
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: I said, if they can anybody could do it. That

409
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: is America. In a nutshell.

410
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 3: It's a really unpopular take to have today after what

411
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: he did yesterday. But the Connor Hayward thing is so stupid.

412
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: It's just so stupid.

413
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: You know what else is weird? When they do the

414
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: tush push with him? Why is Rogers on the field?

415
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: Rodgers is lined up behind the tush push? Why don't

416
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: you get an extra blocker in there?

417
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: Is it the deception so that the team, you know,

418
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 3: the defense doesn't think.

419
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: I think he just wants to be out there to

420
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: signal touchdop.

421
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 3: He does look really stoic back there when he stands

422
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 3: with his hands on his hips. I do like that image.

423
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: But it's just annoying to me, to be quite honest

424
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 3: with you, that we've manufactured a way to give Connor

425
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 3: Hayward a roll and get him on the field, because

426
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: how many people could do that?

427
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 2: Mark Pat Fairemerth couldn't take a snap and do that.

428
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: Connor Hayward wouldn't be on the team, he wasn't. Cam's correct.

429
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Rather, when I say he's a mascot, I mean that

430
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: seriously and literally. Why not you stealing mcbeam for the

431
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: tush push? Next we're to talk about the penguins and

432
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: how they can stop choking. Tom, here's a joke you

433
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: missed from yesterday. I said, perhaps the penguins need to

434
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 1: call into Lovelace. And then I said, well, now hold it.

435
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: She never choked. In fact, that was the point of

436
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: that movie one oh five ninety X.

437
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: It's they show.

447
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: shout on one oh five nine d X Bang was

448
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: hosting Edmonton tonight and this game has crazy story. Crosby

449
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: two points behind Mario for career scoring Crosby versus McDavid.

450
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: Jarry is back planning for Edmonton. He's starting against Stuart Skinner,

451
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: who came to Pittsburgh in the Jari deal. Jari will

452
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: still be wearing his Penguins mask. Skinner will still be

453
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: wearing his oiler's mask. I don't know that that matters,

454
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: but it kind of worries me for reasons I can't

455
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: put my finger on. Will the Penguins collapse in the

456
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: third period again after what happened over the weekend and

457
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: really dating back to four of the last five games,

458
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: Or will McDavid just get six points and the Oilers

459
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: will blow them out? Because I fear that that could happen.

460
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's going to be Skinner versus Jarry,

461
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: the defenseman that came over from Edmonton going to be

462
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: in there. He's partnered with Saint Ivany Covenan scratched. So

463
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: very interesting game tonight. Oh why am i Kulak is

464
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: a Brett?

465
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

466
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: Why am I freezing on that? Because I'm old? And

467
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: see now he's going.

468
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: To be wearing number seventy seven and the last pen

469
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: was defenseman to wear that was Paul Coffee.

470
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: But Kulac played for Coffee.

471
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: When he was an assistant in coach in Edmonton, and

472
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: Coffee apparently gave permission. Tom, what's the most compelling storyline tonight?

473
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: I'd say it's Sid trying to catch Mario and Mario

474
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: is going to be there.

475
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: I guess you'd have to go with that just because

476
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 3: of what it means for Sid and where he ranks

477
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 3: in the all time greatness of this league and passing Mario.

478
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 3: It's so poetic. But the Jari verse Skinner thing is great,

479
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: and I'm so glad that the teams did it, and

480
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 3: you know, one coach didn't decide to go with another

481
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 3: goaltender to kind of shy away from that drama, because

482
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: it's awesome, and that's what sports are supposed to be

483
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 3: about sometimes, is the entertainment in that little drama.

484
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: Quick reminds me.

485
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: Of when the Pirates in Detroit had a chance to

486
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: start Skiens against Skeens versus Schoobale Scooble.

487
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: And they just it was a doubleheader.

488
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: They just decided to put them in opposite games to

489
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: have a better chance of winning at least one game,

490
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: which showed no appreciation for entertainment value or the romance sports.

491
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 3: Same thing happened with Otani too, with the Dodgers had

492
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 3: a chance to pitch him against Skens. It's terrible that

493
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: that happens. I'm glad it's not tonight now.

494
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: The chase with Sid just two points behind Mario. It's

495
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: being understated. It's a top five player chasing a top

496
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: one player, And for a long time I never thought

497
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: it could happen.

498
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 2: Then I thought it might happen, and then a.

499
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: Few years back it just became inevitable because Sid's the

500
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: most consistent.

501
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 2: Hockey player of all time.

502
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 3: And it really just puts into perspective too when you

503
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 3: look at the Penguins franchise, just how loaded they are

504
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 3: with superstars, I mean, top tier players.

505
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: It was the.

506
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: Champagne's franchised, like I said yesterday, when you were wasn't

507
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: fired or suspense. I was fired yesterday, Like I said yesterday.

508
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: Who cares who the leading score is for? Like New

509
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: Jersey or Carolina or Saint Louis. I'm not even sure

510
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: who they are, no.

511
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: Mean either, but it matters to be the leading scorer here,

512
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: and it's a tough for lists to climb since passing Mario,

513
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: probably he probably did it tonight. You know, I wouldn't

514
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: put it past him to get two points tonight and

515
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: just finish it off.

516
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: Well, what worries me is he does it tonight, but

517
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: the Penguins lose, which will put a real damper on it.

518
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: Then again, would it be better if he did it

519
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: on the road.

520
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they go on the road trip after this.

521
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, it might be pretty nice to have

522
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 3: it happen at home with Lemieux in the crowd. Either way,

523
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be magical whenever it does happen, and

524
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 3: it's unbelievable that we're gonna get to see this and

525
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 3: then it's not you know, the end either because yeah,

526
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: he's gonna pass them you but I sincerely think he's

527
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 3: gonna have sights on Yager soon to become the second.

528
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 2: I think SIDS could have a chance at two thousand points.

529
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: And how about Sid will pass Mario in goals eventually,

530
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: which will be that's insane weird because that's the one

531
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: thing I didn't think would happen with Mario having six'

532
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: ninety AND i think being the greatest goalscorer of all.

533
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: Time you know what else will be magical tom tonight

534
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: is The Tristan jarry tribute, video because beyond.

535
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: The goalie, goal it's gonna be.

536
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: FICTION i, mean we're the gonna show him conceding in

537
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: over time against The rangers In game, seven coughing up

538
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: The bailey to blow that series against The islanders in twenty.

539
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: One maybe a montage of last year when he allowed

540
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: the first shot to go in six.

541
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 3: Times not everybody deserves a. Tribute do you think they'll

542
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 3: do a full? Video do you think they'll do the

543
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 3: full video? Montage?

544
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: Yes see the way to go about.

545
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: It you know, WHY i think the dressing room expects

546
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: on his behalf the way to go about the dressing

547
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: room always Overestimated Tristan, jarry maybe because they liked.

548
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 3: HIM i would just throw up a Thanks tristan and you,

549
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 3: know like a nice still shot picture of him and

550
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 3: The penguin's logo on the screen and say welcome Back Tristan.

551
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: Jerry then maybe show him in the net For edmonton

552
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 3: and give him a nice little crowd. Pop because what

553
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 3: you just said is so. True what's gonna be in

554
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: the highlight. Reel it's just gonna be a bunch OF

555
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 3: randomi the goalie, goal, sure but then other than, that

556
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 3: it's just random.

557
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: Saves For tuesday nights Against, BUFFALO i.

558
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: Would just show the goalie goal and then have a

559
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: caption as they show, him like you, said in goal For,

560
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,560

Speaker 1: Jars if The penguins lead at the second, intermission the

563
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: tension will be, insane like hiding From Michael myers in

564
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: A halloween.

565
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: Movie it's so in their heads, too. RIGHT i think

566
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 3: you noted that On twitter during The utah, GAME i.

567
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: Predicted when it was three to nothing end of two

568
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: Against utah that they would lose in the press box.

569
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 3: LOUDLY i had a buddy that threw five bucks On

570
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: Utah live and one one hundred bucks off of. THAT

571
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 3: i have a buddy threw one hundred bucks On Utah

572
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 3: live twenty six. Hundred oh, yeah it would have been

573
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: in the thousands for. Sure so great move. There really

574
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 3: jealous THAT i didn't get on board with. That Maybe

575
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: i'll have the opportunity. Tonight do you think they would

576
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: almost as a dressing, room like to go into the

577
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 3: third period down like two to one or.

578
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: Something like that.

579
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: TIME i mean the ideal scenario is to go into

580
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: the third period. Tide, yeah which begs the, Question, tom

581
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: how do you stop the? Choking And i'm asking that

582
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: rhetorically BECAUSE i know there's not a tangible. ANSWER i

583
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: really won't stop until it just, happens and maybe the

584
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: other team has to just play a bad third period

585
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: to help. You but no team's gonna slack off trailing

586
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: in the third against The penguins right.

587
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: Now of. Course AND i guess tactically, speaking i'd stop

588
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 3: Throwing lettang And carlson out there together to try to ice.

589
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 3: LEADS i, MEAN i don't understand why that's something that

00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 3: damn use keeps trying to.

591
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: Do the MORE i think about, it the MORE i

592
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: blame those two for not playing well in that. SITUATION

593
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: i do muse for putting an out there. Together now that,

594

595
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: it's time to SAY i need better from those.

596
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: Two that's, fair, okay if you wanted to experiment with

597
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 3: that and, say, hey these are two really all time

598
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,639

600
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 3: address their style and help us close out these.

601
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 2: Leads they're not doing, it, though so it's time to.

602
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: Stop they're just not going to adjust their style under any.

603
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: Circumstances they could be fifty years. Old no matter what

604
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: the scoring situation, are those two are going to play

605
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: as they want to and as the, coach you have

606
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: to recognize that and deploy accordingly to, me if you

607
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: got a lead in the, third you gotta get, it

608
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: don low and, grind get that clock move and don't

609
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: always attack as The penguins you want to. Do But

610
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: sit was right after the game On, SUNDAY i watched

611
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: the third period Against utah over, again AND i made

612
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: fun of, said not made, fun BUT i, Said sid

613
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: said they lay back too, much AND i thought that's.

614
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: Ridiculous but in that third, period at first they attacked too.

615
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: Much then they did lay back too, much and they

616
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: didn't really trap, Either tom they just laid.

617
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: Back it was very.

618
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 3: DISORGANIZED i Mean, uta it was just overwhelming in that.

619
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 3: Game well it took him seven minutes to not just you,

620
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: know tie it tick the lead in that Game. Utah

621
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: SO i, mean, yeah The, penguins it was a crappy

622
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 3: third period, there AND i would you can't just be

623
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: on the offensive over and over and over again because

624
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: that's bitten them in the. Past but there is something,

625
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 3: too like you're saying What sid, said like you can't

626
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 3: just go into a complete conservative. Shell you have to

627
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: try to get that fourth. Goal what worries me Is

628
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 3: edmonton comes Into pittsburgh and blows them. OUT i think

629
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 3: that could happen Because edmonton's can't. Score edmonton can. Score

630
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 3: they're not feeling desperate right. Now The west is a

631
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: lot weaker than The east when you look at the.

632
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 3: Stands with the, STANDINGS i don't care what the standings.

633
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: Say the two or three teams that missed the playoffs

634
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: in The, east if you transplanted them to the excuse,

635
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: me the two teams that missed the playoffs in The,

636
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: west two or, three if you transplanted them to The

637
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: east and had them obviously play there all, season they

638
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: would be like the, third, fourth and fifth seeds in The.

639
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 3: East The. Sharks you think they would do that in The, East, yes,

640
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 3: REALLY i think.

641
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 2: THAT i think they make the. Playoffs, OH i think

642
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: they would for sure make the.

643
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 3: Playoffs they might make the playff in The west right,

644
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 3: now The sharks are spot right, now the second wild.

645
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: CARD i think you're underestimating The. West my point being,

646
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: though Is edmonton only has thirty six points this. Year

647
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 3: they're thriving, early so they might feel a little desperation

648
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 3: to turn it on.

649
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: Now my one good thing about The penguins right now

650
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: Is kendolyn. McGroarty you're playing very well and they're finally

651
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: seeing that translate into.

652
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 3: Production, yeah AND i like that, they're you, know putting

653
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 3: them on the second line now With malkin's. Absence you

654
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 3: just have to do. That they need more ice. Time

655
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 3: that is your second best line Without malkin out. There

656
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 3: And i'm.

657
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: EXCITED i. DON'T i feel bad For coven and getting,

658
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: scratched but he hasn't played, well he hasn't been.

659
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: Scoring he's got a score.

660
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: And braso with the with with.

661
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: And not only, that he's changed their game just slightly

662
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: and for the, better like a little, tighter a little less,

663
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: perimeter a little more, physical a little more net.

664
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: FRONT i just worry that we're never gonna see this

665
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,959
Speaker 3: team fully healthy and see the lines completely fit.

666
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: Together, yeah but how many times did you see any

667
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: teven any short very completely. Healthy i'll tell you What

668
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: i'm psyched. About, Though Jack Saint ivany in the lineup.

669
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: TONIGHT i love him because last year when somebody was Hassling,

670
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: city came off the bench and went after him somehow

671
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: didn't get. Suspended If I'm jackson And, IVANY i pick

Speaker 2: Unwilling.

675
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:35,920

676
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 3: at the bottom of their. Lineup that's WHY i liked

677
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 3: Having boco up. Here i'm surprised that he hasn't been

678
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 3: up here since that stretched when he had a couple of.

679
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 3: Games he played well against The.

680

702
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: him for the jumbo. PACKAGE i don't think they used

703
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: the jump package that must last.

704
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: Night did?

705
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 3: They i'd have to go back and double, check but

706
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: it didn't feel like. It, yeah the fact kid in

707
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: there so didn't feel like they. NEEDED i mean just

708
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 3: that fat, enough. Uh number, two speaking of, that is

709
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: the commitment that they showed to the run.

710
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: Game they out.

711
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 3: Ran they ran the ball more than they threw the.

712
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: Ball twenty seven passes For, rogers thirty two rushing. Attempts

713
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: it was very successful on the ground north of one hundred,

714
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 3: yards you were able to control the. Game you finally

715
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 3: won time of. Possession it was perfect AND i hope

716
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 3: it shows, Them, hey this can be our path forward

717
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 3: here In, december let's become a run first football.

718
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: Team, YEAH i think that sometimes in their effort to

719
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: fold the other, team they fooled. Themselves but last NIGHT

720
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: i Thought rogers was playing chess the whole. Game so

721
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: AND i do think he's totally taken over the.

722
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: Offense.

723
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 3: Now the last thing That i'm slightly encouraged by, Here

724
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 3: number one is that they were Targeting. Firemouth he had

725
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: five targets in that. Game he converted three of them to.

726
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: Ketches but when was the? First one was late in the.

727
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 2: Game that's my.

728
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: Point he just got garbage. Stuff but at least he

729
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 3: had five. Targets let's see that happen. More six seven

730
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 3: needs To if it doesn't, happen.

731
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: They don't have a secondary option and to play kate,

732
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: him and that's why they Gave johnny that carry.

733
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 3: For you think he's making, Noise Pat, Fryarmouth.

734
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: No, no, NO i just think they don't want him

735
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: to make, noise not at least after they get rid of.

736
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 2: HIM i don't think he'll be here.

737
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: Next, year trade trade candidate in the off. Season you

738
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 3: think he's very, tradable no. Doubt he strikes me as

739
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: somebody that definitely wouldn't make that much, Noise but he

740
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 3: might be the one that deserves to make the most

741
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 3: noise out of That steelers offense BECAUSE i don't think

742
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 3: he's a great tight, End don't get me, Wrong BUT

743
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: i do think it's more of a usage problem than

744
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: a talent.

745
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 2: PROBLEM i think he's the best tight end they. HAVE

746
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: i think.

747
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: THAT i think they overpaid. HIM i don't think they

748
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: needed to retain, him BUT i think he's the best

749
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: tight end they. Have if you're gonna have this tight

750
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: end based, offense he should be in there ahead Of.

751
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 3: Fatso and don't you think if he does get traded

752
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: in the, offseason he'll be another example of A steeler

753
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: that goes to greener pastures and he'll have like an

754
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 3: eight hundred yard season or something like that without six. Touchdowns,

755
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 3: NO i don't think. SO i just don't think he's that,

756
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 3: good like a fringe top ten tight.

757
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 4: End you don't think.

758
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: THAT i think after having been benched this year For Darnhell,

759
00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: Washington i'm not sure.

760
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: That the man for him is going to be that.

761
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 3: High that's A steelers. Thing he ain't no young guy,

762
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 3: either he should not be For. Darnell he's probably still

763
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 3: on the right side of. Thirty i'll double check. That

764
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 3: but he should not be bench For. Darnell you agree with,

765
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: that it should not played out that way for him?

766
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 3: Here still got a freak still, Right, yeah he'll be

767
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 3: in some demand by. Well all it takes is one, Team,

768
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 3: yeah no, Doubt.

769
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,840
