1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: Steelers hosting the Ravens winner wins the AFC North, joining 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: us now to discuss former quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: You hear his podcast, You hear him on Steelers Nation Radio. 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to talk to Charlie Batch. Charlie, we 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: know Lamar is gonna play, but let's play the what 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: if game. 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 2: If you're John Harbam, would. 8 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: You want Lamar starting at seventy five percent, let's say, 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: or Snoop Huntley at one hundred percent? 10 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: What are the pros and cons? 11 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 3: Well? 12 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 4: I think you probably, I probably would think Snoop Huntley. 13 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 4: He will want to start because he's fully healthy. But 14 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 4: when you look at from an owner perspective, money always 15 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 4: oversees anything else. 16 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 5: That's all Lamar Jackson is going to be out there. 17 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: Do you think that his playing like, let's assume seventy 18 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: five percent, will detract from what I'm sure you agree 19 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: their main game plan should be, which is to go 20 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: with Derek Henry heavy lots of carries. 21 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, they're going to go with Derek Henry. 22 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 4: But I think the one thing that you look at, 23 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 4: and this is the one thing about the injury report, 24 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 4: because everybody knows why he missed last week's game. If 25 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 4: he's going to attempt to run with the football and 26 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 4: not protect himself. Now at the defender, you're just gonna say, hey, 27 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 4: let's just, you know, make sure he takes an extra 28 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 4: shot every once in a while as he's getting to 29 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 4: the ground. And then those little extra shots add up 30 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 4: to the point where now is making a little bit 31 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 4: more of the second half, continues. 32 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: Charlie, what the heck happened to Cleveland? We haven't talked 33 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: since then. I've been saying if the Steelers don't make 34 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs, it won't be because they lose to Baltimore. 35 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: It'll be because they lost at Cleveland. 36 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 4: And you were right on spot with that, and I 37 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 4: think that's something you know, when I just look at it. 38 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 5: To me, it's to me, it sounded like, or it 39 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 5: looked like. 40 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 4: As that week was unfolding, the players were talking amongst themselves, thinking, Hey, 41 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 4: if Green Bay wins. 42 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 5: This game, Sunday's game's not gonna matter. 43 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 4: And then it wasn't until late that Saturday night that 44 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 4: they all got tom you know, looking at it and say, wow, 45 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 4: we now got to turn on the switch and have 46 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 4: to play this game on Sunday, they got off to 47 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 4: a slow start and just couldn't pick it up. So 48 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 4: I think that ultimately worked against them having to wait 49 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 4: to see at Baltimore won on Saturday night. 50 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: Charlie, we just got the official Steeler injury report. Everybody 51 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: is in. That's certainly good news. Uh what I mean, 52 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: we'll see how much he plays in how well. But 53 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: I think the big guy to get back is see 54 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: him all though. I think the old line did pretty 55 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: good in his absence, but that's the guy you want. 56 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's the glue at that offensive line and in 57 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 4: literally he's the reason why Roger Jones started playing better 58 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 4: and better each and every week. Now, when you add 59 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 4: Dylan Cook and whoever else may be out there, I 60 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 4: think those are things that you look back and say 61 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 4: that he is the brains of what's going on on 62 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 4: the left side of the offensive line. He is their 63 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 4: best offensive line and it's good to see him back 64 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 4: out there. Now, let's see if they can get that 65 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 4: running game going against the Baltimore front. 66 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: Well, you're preaching to the choir there, Charlie, because we've 67 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: been talking about Derrick Henry. I think the Steeler's gonna 68 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: run the ball more. I was disappointed at Cleveland when 69 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: they were averaging five and a half yards per carry, 70 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: never trailed by more than a score after the early 71 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: part of the second quarter, and passed the ball on 72 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: the game almost twice as much as they ran. 73 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: It didn't make sense to me. 74 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 5: No, it didn't make sense. 75 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 4: And I think you've got to go back and forth 76 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 4: on the way that everything the line of scrimmage is 77 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 4: going to have to They have to dominate that line 78 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 4: of scrimmage, and you're trying to stop at Dereck Henry. 79 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 4: I'll tell you the best, the known person that a 80 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 4: got the name of Derek that the guy who has 81 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 4: to be the best Derek on the field has to 82 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 4: be Dereck Harmon. 83 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 5: This guy has to show up. 84 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 4: He's the reason why the Steelers went out drafted him 85 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 4: in the first round because of the memory that we 86 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 4: had not three weeks ago of the last season on 87 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 4: how the way that the season ended with Dereck Henry 88 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 4: running all on his defense. Derek Harmon has to be there, 89 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 4: have to show up and dominate that line of scrimmage. 90 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: Totally agree. 91 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: When the Steelers have the ball, can they fix their 92 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: offense with metcalf still suspended, or they have to run 93 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: back pretty much what they did in Cleveland and hope. 94 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: It works better. 95 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, they're going to run it back and hope 96 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 4: it works better because right now, obviously you see what 97 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 4: we saw by the receiving tandem that they had out there. 98 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 6: Yes, you do. 99 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 4: You're adding Klin Austin back, but again, how long can 100 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 4: he go? Hopefully he's healthy enough and be able to 101 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: last the entire game coming off that hamstring injury. But 102 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 4: if you're lining up on the defensive side of the 103 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 4: ball and you look at that receiver group, you're saying 104 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 4: to yourself, which one of these guys that we fear? 105 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 4: And the chances of the chances they're going to say none. 106 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 4: So now somebody's going to have to show up. That 107 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 4: means they're going to be more man and man coverage. 108 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 4: So when the play is able to be made down 109 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 4: the field, these guys are going to have to do 110 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 4: it in the same manner that early in the ball 111 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 4: game in the first matchup that DK caught that deep 112 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 4: pass and it changed that defensive mindset, allowing them to 113 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 4: really fall off a little bit because they got beat early. 114 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 4: The Steelers are going to have to use that same formula. 115 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 4: But who was that guy on the other end making 116 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 4: that play well. 117 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard the coward game plan 118 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: when he suggested on CBS, but he says to use 119 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: lots of play action and target Firemouth and John hu Smith. 120 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: I'm not sure Rodger's gonna want to do that. I 121 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: think he likes it the way it is, whether it 122 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: works or not, yeah, he does. 123 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 4: But also that that just lets him know in Cower's 124 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 4: mindset that he's talking about already being able to run 125 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 4: the football, because if you run the football, that opens 126 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 4: up that play action game. Now, when I look at 127 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 4: friar Mouth coming and entering back onto the field, yes, 128 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 4: we know he's able to make plays in the passing game. 129 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 4: But the reason why he got passed up at Darnell 130 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 4: Washington was because Washington was a. 131 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 5: Better run blocker. 132 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 4: This is an important game for Friarmuth here to now 133 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 4: be engaged a lot more because we as fans media 134 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 4: members all were requesting that friar Mouth stayed on the 135 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 4: field longer. Now here's his opportunity, and I'm sure the 136 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 4: crowd will let him know their pleasure with him every 137 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 4: time he gets something happened, they're gonna be yelling mood 138 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 4: for him. 139 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: I gotta ask you about the crowd. 140 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be like a sociological experiment, Charlie. 141 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: It's gonna be late, it's gonna be cald, it's gonna 142 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: be drunk. If Baltimore scores first, boy, that I think 143 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: that crowd could turn surly. I think the Steelers need 144 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: a good start, don't you. 145 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, they do. 146 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 4: They have to figure out a way to keep that 147 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 4: crowd energized and making impact the game, especially on third down, 148 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 4: and that starts with getting off to a fast start. 149 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 4: If for whatever reason, Baltimore scores early, they get on 150 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 4: top of them, that means now the crowd won't be 151 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 4: as loud, and you're gonna need them as the game 152 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 4: goes on. So, yes, we talked about home field advantage, 153 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 4: but the homefield advantage only works is if your crowd 154 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 4: is participating. That's why it's important for the Steelers to 155 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 4: get off to a fast start. 156 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: We're talking to Charlie Batch here on the ex This 157 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: segment brought to us by eighty four Lumber. Charlie, how 158 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: much influence should a quarterback have with the game plan 159 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: and the depth chart, and has it got to the 160 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: point where Rogers maybe has too much. 161 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 4: Now I don't think he has too much because obviously 162 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 4: that trust is built up throughout the entire season because 163 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 4: of the thought process that you had early in the season, 164 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,559 Speaker 4: especially at the receiver group. 165 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 5: That plan included Roman Wilson. 166 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 4: But of course as the season went on, the production 167 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 4: wasn't there and you saw I don't know, I'm only 168 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 4: assuming that those conversations took place between Aaron offensive coordinator 169 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: to now get those other guys involved and we no 170 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 4: longer see Roman Wilson in the so again, I don't 171 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 4: expect to see much of him because I thought that 172 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 4: we were he was going to be used last week, 173 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 4: which he wasn't, and then obviously we're going to go 174 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 4: into the game plan. But with the receivers that we have, 175 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 4: but Aaron has his guys. This is the best that 176 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 4: we have at this particular point. Manus DK, you know, I. 177 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: Knew DK getting suspended would hurt. It hurts even more 178 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: than I thought possible. I mean, it's like a big 179 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: part of what they can do, what they can even 180 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: threaten to do. 181 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: Charlie has just disappeared. 182 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 4: It did, and this is gonna be interesting because if 183 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 4: the Steelers are able to get out to get through 184 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 4: this game with the victory, yes you get DK back 185 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 4: on the other side. But here's the thing that worries me, 186 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 4: and especially with Steelers Nation around here, if they lose 187 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 4: this game, it's going to because of one reason. Yes, 188 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 4: we can point blame the Tomland, but this fan basically 189 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: gonna say our offense was stagnant because DK was suspended 190 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 4: based off his self as action. 191 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 5: And if that is the case, that. 192 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 4: Means it's gonna be a long off season, as everybody 193 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 4: complaining about that particular situation happening. 194 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 5: So man, it's going to be a delicate situation. I 195 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 5: just hope it works out for the best for the Steelers. 196 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: I do think if they missed the playoffs, Charlie, the 197 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: DK's absence will be the biggest reason in. 198 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: These two games. 199 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: But I still think you gotta make changes this team 200 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: if they missed the playoffs. 201 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: Can you run it back? 202 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 1: I mean, it seems really stale even coming into the season, 203 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: and I don't think anything happened to convince me otherwise. 204 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't run it back with this particular group 205 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 4: only because you would be only one game over five 206 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 4: hundred and anytime that happens, when you go and have 207 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 4: to evaluate from a personnel standpoint, you're going to say 208 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 4: this team was not good enough to win it. 209 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 5: So now you know there's going to be pieces that 210 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 5: are going to. 211 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 4: Be added and subtracted to this roster, and that happens 212 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 4: every single year. And of course the biggest question is 213 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 4: going to be starting at quarterback. And if you end 214 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 4: the season this way, is Aaron Rodgers willing to come back? 215 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 4: So he's probably going to want to say, hey, yes, 216 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 4: I'm a free agent. I would like to come back, 217 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 4: but I also want to see you add the pieces 218 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 4: to convince me to come back and be a championship 219 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 4: team in the manner of why he's on this roster 220 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 4: right now. So there's a lot of questions that are 221 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 4: going to be played as we now enter into the offseason. 222 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 4: A lot of that has to do with how this 223 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 4: season ends. If it ends Sunday, that's one thing. If 224 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 4: it ends after the Super Bowl, then that's another conversation. 225 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 5: But again, there are many many questions that need to 226 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 5: be answered. 227 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: I'll be one Charlie. If they lose Sunday, missed the playoffs. 228 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want Rogers back. He's going to be forty three. 229 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be blaming it on him per se. But 230 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: I think you have to move forward. And if he 231 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: doesn't make the playoffs, well, Russell Wilson got criticized and 232 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: let go, and he did make the playoffs. 233 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 4: Absolutely, But also if even if you do bring him back, 234 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 4: you still have to identify who that quarterback and waiting 235 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 4: is now you think he's on your roster, and if 236 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 4: that's Will Howard, that means now you got to enter 237 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 4: into next offseason as a rare shirt freshman because he 238 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 4: essentially didn't play at all because he missed the entire preseason. 239 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 4: If he's not your guy, and you're still now trying 240 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 4: to add the pieces to this roster for twenty twenty six, 241 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 4: what do you use your first round draft pick on? 242 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 4: Because prior to the season, everybody was excited about this 243 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 4: so called quarterback class, but that didn't materialize in the 244 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 4: manner that everyone thought it was going to be. So again, 245 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 4: a lot of questions are going to play on how 246 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 4: this season ends. 247 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: Charlie, it occurs to me that nobody's talked much about 248 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: the Baltimore defense going into this game, and really not 249 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: all season. It was supposed to be good. What happened 250 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: to that defense? Why did it underachieve? And who are 251 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: the main weapons there that could still you know, make 252 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: big plays on Sunday. 253 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you know kyleham Hamilton and he's that 254 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 4: guy in the middle, and of course Brokwon. You know, 255 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 4: those are your two names that you have there. But 256 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 4: I think when you go back early in the season, 257 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 4: they lost their best defense alignment early in the season, 258 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 4: and I think that caused, you know, a bigger gap 259 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 4: in their defense to what many people thought. Once the 260 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 4: injury occurred. They didn't expect them to be this bad. 261 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: They expected it, but if he was healthy, they would 262 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 4: have been a little bit more dominant. So that's that's 263 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 4: the domino effect that happened, and now it was making 264 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 4: everybody else on that defense have to do a little 265 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 4: bit more than what they were currently asked to do 266 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 4: throughout the course of this season. But again, neither defense 267 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 4: right now is one what they were meaning. You show 268 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 4: up and people know that you're going to get a 269 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 4: tough defense. People have been able to move on both 270 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 4: defenses so this is yes on paper, this is what 271 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 4: everybody wants as far as the rivalry, but it's not 272 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 4: the defensive the dominance that we once all over the years. 273 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: If the Steelers are to win, who's got to be 274 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: the hero, Charlie, who's got to come. 275 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 5: Through the Steelers win. 276 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 4: That means Aaron Rodgers has to play lights out, and 277 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 4: that means he cannot. They're going to be any mistakes 278 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,599 Speaker 4: damn near perfect that he has to. But that's the 279 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: way for them to win on the offensive, not defensively. 280 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 4: They know they have to stop the run, but for 281 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 4: whatever reason, this team turns the football over and not 282 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 4: able to create those turnovers, they'll. 283 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: Come out on the losing in Charlie is always great stuff. 284 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: Great job with the podcast in the Steeler post game show. 285 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: We'll do it again next week. 286 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me. 287 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: That's the great Charlie Batch. Great to talk to him 288 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: every week. This segment brought to us by eighty four Lumber. 289 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: It's not time for calls on the fifteen, so get 290 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: your calls in. My question remains, if the Steelers are 291 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: to win, we just talked about it with Charlie. 292 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: He said, Aaron Rodgers. 293 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: If the Steelers are to win against Baltimore, who has 294 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: to be the guy who comes through? Who has to 295 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: be the game mvp A three three four one two wxdx. 296 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: We're also talking about the Penguins having won three in 297 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: a row, about the USA Olympic roster selection, about the 298 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: college football playoffs. So call in now A three three 299 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: four one two wxdx, and we have Justin Braso of 300 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: the Penguins on at the bottom of the hour. It's 301 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: The Smart Man Show one O five to. 302 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: Nine tomorrow afternoon. 303 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: You've always been in love with me and this is 304 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: just your moment of clarity. 305 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: I don't think, oh I. 306 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 5: Know, so the X at one oh five nine. 307 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: Get your calls in now A three three four one 308 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: two WXDX. I uh, I'm gonna make my official pick 309 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: for son Epick and the Ravens to win, like twenty 310 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: three fourteen something like that. Kind of close, but probably 311 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: not in doubt. I think the Ravens will take control 312 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: early by running the ball, take the crowd out of 313 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: the game, maybe even turn the crowd hostile. I just 314 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: think that the adrenaline and energy the Ravens will have 315 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: after having steamroller in Green Bay at Green Bay last week, 316 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: coupled with the reprieve from being dead and buried until 317 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: Cleveland upset Pittsburgh, coupled now with Lamar Jackson returning. Part 318 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: of me says, I'd rather play Snoop at one hundred 319 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: than Lamar at seventy five. But Lamar's a two time MVP, 320 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: and his return provides adrenaline two. So I'm going with 321 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: the Ravens to win by slightly more than one score. 322 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 1: That's not to say the Steelers can't win, but boy, 323 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: they not only dug a hole in the standings by 324 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: losing a Cleveland, they dug a hole emotionally. 325 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 2: Anybody who says that. 326 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: That a loss like that doesn't carry over, you can 327 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: just wash your hands of it. 328 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 2: You can. But I think that. 329 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: The Steelers need a real good first quarter against Baltimore 330 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: to wash their hands of it. 331 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. 332 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: But I'm picking the Ravens to win by like twenty 333 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: three to fourteen. And that Ravens defense, I know it's 334 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: not that good, but they have a couple guys like 335 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: Smith and Hamilton, and I bet one of them makes 336 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: a big play against a Steelers offense crippled by both 337 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: the suspension of the Kaitlin Zachariz Metcalf and by Aaron 338 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: Rodgers being stubborn in his insistence of anointing Mvs and 339 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: Scottie Miller as being a lot better than they actually are. 340 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: That's probably the polite way to put it. Let's go 341 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: to the Egyptian magician. Hello, my friend Bob, what's going on? Hey? 342 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 7: Hey Mark? Okay, I think Steelers will win if number one, 343 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 7: they need to use Hayward as a fool back if 344 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 7: they wanted any success in running game, because Warren got 345 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 7: two touchdowns, the fact that Hayward's a smart guy. He 346 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 7: might not be athletic, you know, type up tight end, 347 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 7: but he's a smart guy. He did take away the 348 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 7: free guy that was coming for and Jalen needs just 349 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 7: this small at space to jump in and jump stuff. 350 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, let me tell you something. 351 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: If they're relying on Connor Hayward to win this game, 352 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: they don't have a freaking chance. 353 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 7: I said, basically, And here's the thing after that, I 354 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 7: think they need to put forty one as this by 355 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 7: for whoever the quarterback is. Because what happens is they 356 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 7: usually come up with the very first praise that you know. 357 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: Well, no, Bob, that's Bob. That's not a bad idea. 358 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: I will tell you this and thank you for the call. 359 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: I think they need to hit Jackson on every play 360 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: like he has those one pass off. Just hit him, 361 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: light him up, remind him that back hurts. Even though 362 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: Henry's their primary weapon, narrow with down to him being 363 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: the only weapon. If you put Lamar out of the game, 364 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: well then Snoop comes in. Maybe that's not a good idea. 365 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: Let's go to David. David, you're all with double m. 366 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 8: Hey, Marco, last night was a good game, good way 367 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 8: to get two points. Two big gripes that I had 368 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 8: just baffle me is. I can't understand why Crosby isn't 369 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 8: on the ice to start overtime. I think that's a 370 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 8: crazy decision. 371 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 2: I don't think he likes. 372 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 8: And also I can't believe that Skinner was in a 373 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,239 Speaker 8: net last night after his great performance against Carolina. 374 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: They're just gonna rotate and Brov and Shiloff's see. I 375 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: think Shiloffs should be in Wilkes and Morrishoff should be 376 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. If indeed your primary intent is to make 377 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Thank you for the call.

He is Penguins winger Justin Braso. Justin, 406 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: You've already hit a career high for goals at twelve. 407 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: What have been the biggest factors in the season you've 408 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: had so far? 409 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think there's probably a few things. Obviously, 410 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 9: when you know, to start the year, whenever you get 411 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 9: to play with guys like Gino and them, they make 412 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 9: up to make a lot of things a lot easier 413 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 9: for you on the ice. But I also think this 414 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 9: confidence kind of going into the year. I think, you know, 415 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 9: the more games I've played in this league, the more 416 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 9: confidence I've kind of gotten, And you know, the games 417 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 9: kind of feels like it's slowing down a little bit, 418 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 9: and I'm kind of getting back to what I used 419 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 9: to do. So yeah, just probably a bit of a 420 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 9: mix of both of those things. 421 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned confidence and uh, unless I missed my guest, 422 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: justin it' sutly the first time at the NHL level 423 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: that you've gotten a top six opportunity, correct that that's 424 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: going to force feed your confidence. 425 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 10: Yeah. 426 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 9: I mean anytime you get the you know, the responsibility 427 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 9: and you know, the trust and the coaching staff and 428 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 9: then the organization to go out there and play those 429 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 9: types of you know, situations that obviously you know, it 430 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 9: can only help that. So yeah, you know, obviously I 431 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 9: got a you know, a good opportunity to start the year, 432 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 9: and I protect the most of it. 433 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: You know, and Anthony Manta do very well together on 434 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: the same line. You're very similar players, both big, both 435 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: go to the net. Why does that fit work you 436 00:19:59,680 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: two to. 437 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think kind of what you said, we we 438 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 9: since we're so similar. I think we also kind of, 439 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 9: you know, are able to read off each other pretty 440 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 9: easily because of the fact that you know, I think 441 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 9: I know where he's gonna be, because it's probably somewhere 442 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 9: where I would try to go with the puck in 443 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 9: the opposite situation, So I think, you know, kind of 444 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 9: making it easier predict you know, where each other is 445 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 9: going to be is probably a big factor. And you know, 446 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 9: we're both people that I think like to be in 447 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,959 Speaker 9: and around the net and look to try to get 448 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 9: the puck there as much as we can, so I 449 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 9: think it kind of, you know, benefits both bus. 450 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: Now you're a big man, justin well over six foot. 451 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: How do you think you apply your size? What's the 452 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,959 Speaker 1: game plan there? Because it's not like you're steam rolling people, 453 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: but you go out there and you're definitely playing a 454 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: big game. 455 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think, uh, you know, anytime you 456 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 9: kind of have that size of ends, you kind of 457 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 9: want to use it to protect pucks. I think that's 458 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 9: kind of something I try to do as best I can, 459 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 9: where you know, when pucks come down, I'm not going 460 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 9: to beat anybody with you know, be you didn't getting 461 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 9: away from them that way, So being able to hold 462 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 9: on pucks, trying to draw extra bodies to yourself so 463 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,239 Speaker 9: that you kind of open up a little bit more 464 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 9: space for other people, and then obviously just in and 465 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 9: around the net, kind of trying to use your size 466 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 9: to your advantage. To you know, get into goalie's eyes 467 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 9: and you know, be hard to move. 468 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of funny when a big guy 469 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: scores the thing most people say as well, he just 470 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: goes to the net, making it sounds simple, But it's 471 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: not that simple, is it. 472 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: I mean, stuff like getting your stick free. 473 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: It's a tactical thing too, isn't it. 474 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 9: Yeah, definitely, I mean it's it was that simple. I 475 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 9: feel like everybody would do it and score a million goals. 476 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 9: So it's definitely tough. Obviously, you know, there's a lot 477 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 9: of defense demand in this league or you know, big 478 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 9: strong guys and they're trying to clear you out to 479 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 9: the best they can. So I think it's yeah, a 480 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 9: little bit of that. Also, it's a little bit of 481 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 9: you can't just kind of sit there the whole game. 482 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 9: I think it's a bit of timing of trying to 483 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 9: arrive at the right time when pucks are coming so 484 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 9: that you know you're not just tied up in battles 485 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 9: the whole time. But yeah, it's definitely not easy. 486 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: Now, as you mentioned, you and Anthony were playing with 487 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: Gueney Malkin until Gino got hurt. It certainly worked great 488 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: talk about what it's like to play with a guy 489 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: like that who's like, you know, a a Hall of Famer, 490 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: nailed on moving forward, who just can do so many things. 491 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's awesome.

I think, you know, when I 528 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 9: was younger, I don't think I was playing very much 529 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 9: different than I am now. I think my game's kind 530 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 9: of been very similar for my entire career, obviously, just 531 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 9: a different levels. But I think it's summer where I've 532 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 9: kind of always tried to go to. I mean, I 533 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 9: think obviously being a bigger guy kind of out at 534 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 9: all levels. That's kind of where I was told, like, 535 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 9: you want to score a goal to go to the net. 536 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 9: So I think I've kind of tried to be around 537 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 9: there as much as I can, obviously doing it more often. 538 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 9: It kind of comes with, you know, the repetition and 539 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 9: stuff like that, and obviously it's stuff I kind of 540 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 9: work on in the summer, making sure, you know, in 541 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 9: and around the net, I I'm able to, you know, 542 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 9: finish plays and stuff like that, because obviously it's summer. 543 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 9: I like could be we're. 544 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: Talking to Justin Brazo with the Penguins here on the 545 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: Home of the Penguins one oh five nine The X. 546 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: Justin you went undrafted, played a year in the EHL, 547 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: and that was after you scored sixty one goals your 548 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: last year in junior. Were you frustrated all at that 549 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: point and was there ever dot in your mind that 550 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: you could make it to the NHL? 551 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I don't know if frustrated. Obviously I 552 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 9: knew when I signed in Toronto that they had a 553 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 9: lot of you. 554 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 5: Know players at the time. 555 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 9: This on con tracks, so I knew that was a possibility. 556 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 9: I didn't think taking being in the EHL at that 557 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 9: time too negatively, I obviously is looking at the death 558 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 9: chart and kind of stuff like that. It was maybe 559 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 9: a little frustrating after my junior year of not you know, 560 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 9: getting a you know, an HL offer, but no, I 561 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 9: never you know, got you frustrated with that, and I 562 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 9: kind of always kept the belief that, you know, I 563 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 9: could make it to hear one day. I think that's 564 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 9: what kind of kept me going. I mean I was 565 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 9: down there for a long time, and I never kind 566 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 9: of lost sight of, you know, what I was trying 567 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 9: to do, and I just try to make sure each 568 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 9: other every day I went to the rink, I was, 569 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 9: you know, putting in the work and trying to get 570 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 9: better and work towards it and just happy it worked out. 571 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: The pens have been streaky this year and of now 572 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: one three in a row. How can you guys become 573 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: more consistent? What's the solution there? 574 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I think it's kind of doing what 575 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 9: we've been doing. I think we kind of ran into 576 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 9: a little stretch there where I thought we were playing 577 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 9: some pretty good hockey for you know, good chunks of 578 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 9: the game, but weren't you know, closing it out. So 579 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 9: I think we've kind of seen that up since coming 580 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 9: back from the break. I think we've done a way 581 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 9: better drop in the last three games of you know, 582 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 9: trying to play more of a complete full sixty minutes. 583 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 9: But yeah, I think it's just more of the same 584 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 9: with that, just kind of sticking to a game plan, 585 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 9: making sure we're you know, playing that full sixty now. 586 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: I know during the season guys don't like to look 587 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: at the standings, but if you even take a little peak, 588 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: justin the Eastern Conference in the Metro Division, just so 589 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: packed tight from top to bottom. I mean, do you 590 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: guys ever think about that. I know it's a game 591 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: at a time, but you know what I mean, you 592 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: win three more in a row, you might be in first. 593 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: If you lose three more in a row, you might 594 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: be in last. 595 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, obviously it's close. 596 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 5: I think it can be a good thing though. 597 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 9: I mean, you never want to take games off and 598 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 9: kind of get relaxed. Especially I think, you know, even 599 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 9: if you have a big lead in the you know division, 600 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 9: you're going to make the playoffs. I think if you 601 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 9: start coasting kind of into the playoffs that you can 602 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 9: kind of get the prize in that first round. I think, 603 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 9: you know, it's playoff mentality from you know here on 604 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 9: el and you got to do our best to win 605 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 9: every game that we're playing. So I think it could 606 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 9: be a good thing, especially you know, coming down the 607 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 9: stretch playing some meaningful hockey and hopefully getting into the 608 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 9: playoffs and kind of seeing what we can do. 609 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 2: How do you like Pittsburgh. 610 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: You've been here for half a season now, as I'm 611 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: sure you're aware, it's a it's a pretty good hockey town. 612 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 2: What are your impressions. 613 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's been awesome so far.

That period would have been 666 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: ten except the Red Wing's got a power play goal 667 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: to cut one of their man advantage period short. And 668 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: then the second period the raid Wings started committing penalties 669 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: and they just put the whistles away. It was haphazard, 670 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: crappy officiating like honestly, we see too much of in 671 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: the NHL. It was like the referees discussed between the 672 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: first and second periods. Okay, we're restricting the flow of 673 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: the game too much with all these penalties. But you 674 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: can't just alter the way you're calling the game in midgame. 675 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: If you called it one way the first period, call 676 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: it that way the rest of the game. Because players 677 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: need to know what to expect when they're out there, 678 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: we use the line open. We got a long aska, Mark, anything, 679 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: so do get involved A three three four one two WSDX. 680 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 2: Let's go to Jacob. Jacob, you're all with Mark? Hey, Mark, 681 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 2: I have a classic would you rather? 682 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 12: Would you rather go and have a prime rid dinner 683 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 12: with the Watt family in Wisconsin? Or take a trip 684 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 12: down to the Amazon rainforest with Aaron Rodgers and hang 685 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 12: out with him down there. 686 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 10: Thank you, good Steelers. 687 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 2: Obviously none of the above. 688 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: I was like, when people say you have to do 689 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: one or the other, No, I don't, So I'm gonna 690 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: pick none of the above. 691 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 6: Uh. 692 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm still chuckling that the Steelers pick Kenneth Gain was 693 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: their team MVP. If Kenneth Gain was your team MVP, 694 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: A guy who could never start for Philadelphia a guy 695 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: who's really the number two running back this year. If 696 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: he's your team MVP, it explains why you're nine and 697 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: seven on the very fringe of the playoffs. And I 698 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: thought there were better choices for Team MVP. I'm coming 699 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: around more and more to Joey Porter Junior, if not 700 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: being Team MVP, him having had an outstanding season, because 701 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: like Matt Williamson tweeted and we talked about some yesterday, 702 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: he's gone fourteen and forty four snaps without allowing a 703 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: touchdown to a guy he's covering. That is the law 704 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: longest active streak in the NFL and twice as long 705 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: as the second longest active streak in UH we we 706 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: don't notice what cornerbacks do unless they get burned. Well, 707 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: he isn't, so we're not noticing. It had to be 708 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: pointed out to us. Nobody's ever been burned less in 709 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: recent this year NFL history. So hats off to Joey 710 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: Porter Junior. And if he's not the Team MVP, he 711 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 1: might be kind of close. 712 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 2: That's a great stat posted by Matt, which really puts 713 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 2: things in perspective. Lea's the line open eight. 714 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: Three three, four one two wxdx or the secret back 715 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: door line four one two three three three wxdx. Good 716 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: even Brazo on We've had nine Penguins guests this year. 717 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: Pegs are an interesting team. Will they make the playoffs? 718 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: Won't they make the playoffs? I don't know, but it's 719 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: an interesting team. Encouraging that Gino was a full participant 720 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: in practice today. Maybe he returns for tomorrow's game at Detroit. 721 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: Still don't know what was wrong with him.
