1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: X since my baby has gone on, don't know what 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: to do. 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 2: Since the Steelers did zilch at yesterday's trade deadline. You 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 2: know what has to happen now is the Steelers need 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 2: to go to LA and beat the Chargers. 6 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: If you think you're. 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 2: Good enough as is, okay, then prove you're good enough 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: as is and get off that mushy middle up and 9 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 2: down headed to the same destination roller coaster the Steelers 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: have been on for a decade. To beat La, and 11 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 2: then you gotta beat Cincinnati at home. Joe Flack will 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: be damned, and then you're seven and three. Prove you're 13 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 2: good enough as is. After standing pat yesterday, we should 14 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 2: all be weary of the same old, same old. And 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: like I said, you got all these new guys, big 16 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: names Aaron Rodgers, and things feel exactly the same. I 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,279 Speaker 2: get total all Well, though Steelers number said they're all in, 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 2: they went on and got Father Time to be the 19 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: quarterback that they brought in Darius shouldn't play it all 20 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: sway they brought in Jalen Ramsey. 21 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: I mean, if that's not all in, bringing in. 22 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: A bunch of fossils who still might be okay, but 23 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 2: eight got it for the long term. 24 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how you describe all in there. 25 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: Let's see if the defense can have a second straight 26 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: big game and what and if Highsmith can stay off 27 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 2: the milk carton After incredibly emerging to be the AFC 28 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Week this week, it was like, 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 2: you know what himing a good game was. It was 30 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: like they finally found the Amelia Earhart. Yeah, I mean 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: the plane disappeared eighty years ago, but we found there. 32 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: It's amazing. And everybody under a certain age swier who 33 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: bring is Amelia Earhart? Look it up Google. You know, 34 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: Let's see if that went over Indy was an outlier. 35 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: Let's see even one very good game if it can 36 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 2: be sustained. Let's see if that happens. I mean, it's 37 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 2: not a team of consistency, not as a team, nor 38 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 2: the individuals. Rogers has been consistent, mostly, the O line 39 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: has been consistent, mostly Ramsey two mostly, actually Rogers more 40 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 2: than mostly. I can't think of one instance where I 41 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: can say Rogers, I mean, screwed the pooch. But if 42 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: you're gonna compile a list of who's been consistent with 43 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: the Steelers, it is not a very long list to me, 44 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 2: You've got to run the ball more. Ben said the 45 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: same thing. Got a clip from his podcast later, you 46 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: got to run the ball more and better. Not because 47 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: it's the so called Stiller way, but because Warren's getting better. 48 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 2: That O line's getting better. But Tada on the right 49 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: is emerging, Jones on the left, he's doing okay, So 50 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 2: do what's getting better? 51 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 3: More? 52 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: And maybe it gets better still, John, who's I eight 53 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 2: d K's been a big disappointment, he asks, Calvin Austin. 54 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: Third is just he's just what's the word I'm looking for? Well, 55 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: they like to be called little people. He's a number 56 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 2: three masquerading as number two, and he's okay, but he's little. 57 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: I gotta admit I was watching Bad Santa Too the 58 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: other night, the sequel, which ain't that good but ain't 59 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: that bad either, And when I saw what's the guy's name, 60 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: his partner in crime, the guy who played the elf, 61 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: I thought of Calvin Austin. 62 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. 63 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: I mean, you can put together a link a list 64 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: of where the Steelers are weak, and it's not short, 65 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: and yet the Steelers did nothing yesterday. What I really 66 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: want to talk about is we got the Penguins hosting 67 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: Washington tomorrow. Sergei Morishov called up the Russian goalie, the 68 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: Russian nightmare, Kitha. I think he should play. I know 69 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: the rotations for Shiloffs to play, but then you have 70 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: Morishov make his Penguins debut in New Jersey on Saturday 71 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: at twelve thirty. 72 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: I know Muses all hockey. I know Dupas is all hockey. 73 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: I also know this team needs to sell seats and 74 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 2: generate hype. So have a sense of the freaking occasion 75 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: and start morishoff. Uh, Kendall is going to be on 76 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 2: Sid's line at wing. I like him at center, but 77 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: I like this too. Me like the Penguins need to 78 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: win tomorrow against Washington to get back on track, if 79 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: indeed you think they can get a playoff spot. We 80 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: are learning, by the way, when you look at some 81 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 2: of the moves that had to be I mean calling 82 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 2: up Ryan Graves and Danton Heinen, we are realizing it 83 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: that it only takes a few injuries to expose how 84 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: crappy that roster really is, that it lacks depth almost totally, 85 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: and you know, just it sabotages the depth chart. 86 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: The college football. 87 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: Playoffs put out its first rankings. Pitt and Penn State 88 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: are absent. I mean, so is Ducane. Penn State plays 89 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 2: host to Indiana. Indian is undefeated nine to zero and 90 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 2: ranked number two in the CFP pull. Penn State is 91 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 2: three and five. When listen to Big Ten, Indian is 92 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: a fourteen point favorite, and write this down. You heard 93 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 2: it here. That's gonna be a close game and Penn 94 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: State might win. Penn State will easily cover in Creepy Valley, 95 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: no question. Uh, Indiana is maybe not good enough to 96 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 2: be ten and zero, you know what I mean. I 97 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: feel they're a real good team. I feel they could 98 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 2: win playoff games. I don't see them as a ten 99 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: and o team. Remember the year the Steelers started off 100 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: like was it ten and oh? Nine and oh? And 101 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: I said, okay, they're not that good. In the end 102 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 2: is nine and zero, and they're good, really good. I 103 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 2: feel better about them in the context of college football 104 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: now than I did about the Steelers then. I knew 105 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: the Steelers then that it was fool's gold and they 106 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: were headed right to where they arrived. 107 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: But Penn State isn't so bad as to be winless 108 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: in the Big Ten. 109 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 2: Penn State has good players, and Pitt is off and 110 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: is preparing to host Notre Dame the week after. 111 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: That'll be huge. 112 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: And really, I only talked about college football now because 113 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: I felt I had some time to fill and I'm 114 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: just not interested. I got a tweet I responded in 115 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: like some guy said, grow up, it's no big deal. 116 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 2: They didn't trade for a rental wide receiver. Blah blah 117 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: blah blah blah, grow up, and I tweeted back, I 118 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 2: go listen. There's nobody out there that gives a crap 119 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: less about what the Steelers do than I do. I'm 120 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: just analyzing, and I'm right about this. They should not 121 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: have stood Pat yesterday. They did themselves and you the fan, 122 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: a disservice by standing Pat yesterday. No question, in my mind, 123 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: they might not say they're all in, but the roster 124 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: they've assembled indicates they're all in. 125 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: You know what could happen? Nobody's talking about by the way. 126 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: Five and three start to me, it's one win less 127 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: than I expected and predicted. I expected six and two 128 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: at this point, and they've won games. 129 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: I didn't figure. They've lost games. I didn't figure. 130 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: I mean, namely, I didn't figure they'd beat the Colts, 131 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: but I didn't figure they'd lose to Cincinnati. But nobody 132 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: talks about this team's so old. Those old bastards gonna 133 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: get hurt, those old bastards gonna tie out. I don't 134 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: think this is going to be a team that gets 135 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 2: better in the second half. I think it's a team 136 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: that needs to, like now, have a two game lead 137 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: the AFC North and hold on for dear life, and 138 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: then how much you got left for the playoffs. Quit 139 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 2: being a baby, fat ass, you get upset about everything. 140 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: Fat ass. Now I just call like I say it. 141 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: Let's be honest. 142 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: I'm almost always right because I'm smarter than all of you. 143 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: I've been doing these ads for a waking one to eighty, 144 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: the weight loss program, and it's working, no question. And 145 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 2: one of the favorite things they give you is you 146 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 2: get like a snack in the morning and in the 147 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 2: afternoon a lot of it's like a drink or a smoothie. 148 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: And they have this grapefruit drink that is just incredible, 149 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: just incredible. I'm having one right now. And one thing 150 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: to remember if you go on a wake a one 151 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: to eighty is this grapefruit drink is great, and vodka 152 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: has zero calories, just saying, just putting that out there. 153 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: Like vodka with this. 154 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 2: I haven't tried. It'd be better than vodka with actual grapefruit. 155 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: This tastes better than actual grapefruit juice. 156 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 4: Uh. 157 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 2: Tom the producer corrected me during the break, pitt is 158 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: actually ranked in the college football playoff rankings. They're right 159 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 2: number twenty four, which is a long way from me 160 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: playoff spot, but at least it's something. Tom has been 161 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: fined one hundred dollars for correcting me. That's off limits, 162 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: out of bonds, even if you're right and I'm wrong. 163 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 2: I also saw Matt Williamson the hallway and I told 164 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 2: him what I just said about He is such a 165 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 2: big critic of the Steelers by tweeting facts like that 166 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 2: they lead the league going three and out. They go 167 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 2: three and out on forty three percent of their offensive possessions. 168 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 2: And we were discussing, I wish we would have taped this. 169 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: We agreed in today's era of offensive football and rules 170 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: to protect the offense, Uber Honus that to go three 171 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 2: and out that often is just an incredible figure. And 172 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: we were wondering and Matt's going to check this out 173 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 2: and get back to me. We were wondering what the 174 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 2: second highest figures for three and outs because what if 175 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: it was something like thirty five percent compared to the 176 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: Steelers forty three percent, that would make an additional critical 177 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: statement with the Black and Gold offense. And like I've 178 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: been saying, Rogers is playing great, I think mostly he is. 179 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 2: But I used and then removed the term mostly a 180 00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: couple segments ago. 181 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: Now I'm going back the mostly because. 182 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: If your offense is going three and out forty three 183 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: percent of the time, well, Rogers is taking all the snaps. 184 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: When that happens, you can call the show. 185 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 3: Now. 186 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: We got time for some calls eight. 187 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 2: Three three four one two w XDX right now, though, 188 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: we got a SoundBite from Ben Roethlisberger because the Big 189 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 2: Ben Podcast is simply awesome. The Big Ben Podcast is 190 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 2: easily better than my show. That's not true, but I 191 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: think it's the nice thing to say. Here's the old 192 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 2: cowboy talking about the slippery slope that is the Steelers 193 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: relying on a whole bunch of takeaways to win? 194 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 5: Can we win without getting a ton of turnovers? Bengals, 195 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 5: we lose no turnovers. Packers, we lose no turnovers. Coach, 196 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 5: we win because we create a lot of turnovers. Can 197 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 5: we line up get no turnovers and still win the 198 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 5: football game? That's going to be the question everyone's right 199 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 5: now talking about. I know you're gonna ask me, is 200 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 5: the defense back? 201 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think this helps a lot. This gives you momentum. 202 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: Look, I never drink on the job, well rarely, usually 203 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: I don't, But if I had vodka here in the building, 204 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: I would add it to this grapefruit drink right now, 205 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 2: this awake in one eighty grapefruit drink. 206 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: What Ben said, that's bang on. 207 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 2: It's one thing to play good defense, it's another to 208 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 2: get five and six takeaways and another still to lose 209 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 2: when you don't get them, to rely on a bunch 210 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 2: of takeaways. And then there's the debate, did you take 211 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: or did they give against the Colts? The Steelers took 212 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: against New England the Patriots gave. People always talk about 213 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: it's a football truism. If you win the turnover battle, 214 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 2: you win the game. Whatever. Percent of the time, that's true. 215 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 2: But what if it's a tie with the turnovers? You 216 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: can't rely on that because some teams protect the ball 217 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: better on the day. Now number to call eight three 218 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: three four one two w xdx. I still with this 219 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 2: Penguins thing. I've really talked myself into this, being fanatic 220 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: about it. They got to stop moreshoft tomorrow night. If 221 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 2: he's here and he's gonna play one of the next 222 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: two games, play him the home game that debut. 223 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: With Flurry, Flurry's rookie year when he was eighteen, Penguins lost, 224 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: He stopped the penalty shot. He made an. 225 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 2: Impression, and the fans knew where that team was headed 226 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 2: in goal. Anyway, I would start more shof tomorrow night. 227 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: And I know you want to stick to a rotation. 228 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: I know Dan muses hockey one hundred percent of the time, 229 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: so is Kyle Dubis. But you've got to have a sense. 230 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 2: Of the effing occasion when you got a bunch of 231 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 2: empty seats in net building and you're trying to stoke 232 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: hype from a start. 233 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: That's pretty good eight four and two, but the hype 234 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: eight soul tickets hit, so up your hype game. 235 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: MORI shot in goal tomorrow night. So it has been said, 236 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 2: so it should come to pass. Let's go to Nick 237 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: in the truck Nick, what's up? 238 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 3: Hey? Mark? 239 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 6: I called to ask to talk about the defense. But 240 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 6: first question, how many pounds you down? And how long 241 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 6: has it been? 242 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: I weighed myself this morning. Let me think twenty six 243 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: pounds in about a month. And keep in mind I 244 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: took I took four days off the diet when I 245 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: went to Liverpool and eight fish and chips. 246 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: So i lost four of those pounds twice. But I'm 247 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: gonna do that. 248 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: That's I told them that I go when I travel, 249 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 2: I'm gonna, you know, not eat what I want, but 250 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 2: eat certain things I always do. 251 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 6: And then did you have to change anything with your 252 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 6: exercise routine or that has that been the same. 253 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: My exercise routine had been forty five minutes a day 254 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: on the treadmill, probably six days a week. Now I'm 255 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 2: doing thirty minutes a day on the treadmill five or 256 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: six days a week. And I'm doing less because they 257 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: say thirty minutes is the ideal amount, well the required amount. 258 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: I could do more. 259 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: That never hurts, but also because it has sapped my 260 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 2: energy a little bit, losing that much weight that quickly, 261 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 2: but the weights the energy is starting to return as 262 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: I get used to the diet and now I'm back 263 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: to thirty minutes a day every day for the past week, 264 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 2: and uh, I'm going to try to do forty five 265 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: starting on the Monday. 266 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 6: So you've lessened your exercise and you're still losing that 267 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 6: much weight. 268 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: Dude. Yeah, yeah, either that I have some bad. 269 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 6: Illness or a tapeworm or someone who knows, right, I 270 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 6: don't care. Hey job man. Yeah, Hey, the defense. Here's 271 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 6: what I'm happy about. They made changes that I didn't 272 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 6: think they were going to make. Ramsey at safety, I actually, 273 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 6: I don't know if you saw it. I actually saw 274 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 6: t J. Watt getting out of position and coming through 275 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 6: the middle and doing different stunts, not just staying in 276 00:15:54,360 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 6: his ideal comfortable spots. I saw like high and walk, 277 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 6: getting out in better coverage on pass plays and at 278 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 6: the same time blitzing backside corners and backs. You know, 279 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 6: I did. I was very excited to see that they 280 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 6: actually made some changes, you know. 281 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: Anything part of that was bruh, the stuff you're talking 282 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: about because of the tactically changes. Because of the tactical 283 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 2: changes they made, like the four to three stuff, the 284 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 2: three inside backers, three outside backers, Matt Williamson explained all 285 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 2: that stuff so precisely earlier this week on the program. 286 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 2: It got the players out of playing by road of 287 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: doing the same. 288 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: Thing, snap in and snap out. And I think that 289 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: that is responsible as much as anything for the improvements 290 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: you said. 291 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, I definitely like that. What I don't like, though, 292 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 6: is that should have been a Steeler blowout with the 293 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 6: amounts not only of turnovers we had, but field position 294 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 6: that came to nothing. You said, three and outs were awful. 295 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 6: Look at our fourth down conversion rate that was that 296 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 6: was pitiful. 297 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: Good comment. Let's go to Eric. Eric, you're own with double. 298 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 7: And Mark. 299 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 8: I just want to talk about Steelers, you know, passing 300 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 8: up on two I resceivers. You know, we could have 301 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 8: gave up a fourth and a six or a fourth 302 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 8: and a fifth go out and grab you know, Jacoby 303 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 8: Myers or Fort Shaheed. You know, we're we're trying to 304 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 8: make a run this year. I don't see why we wouldn't, 305 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 8: you know, give up a fourth and a six or 306 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 8: a fourth and a fifth makes no sense. 307 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree. 308 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 2: I mean I would have traded the two first round 309 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 2: picks for sauce. But barring that, I don't know how 310 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 2: you don't give up a third and a sixth which 311 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: would a top Jacksonville's offer to get Jakobe Myers, or 312 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: what exactly was giving up for Shaheed. 313 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 8: Shahed was a fourth and a fifth round pick twenty 314 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 8: twenty six. 315 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, roughly the same offer, you know. 316 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 2: As for Myers in Shaheed, like I said earlier, his 317 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: stats with New Orleans, he would he would be the 318 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 2: number one receiver on the Steelers and catch his and yards. 319 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just insane.

But 343 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: joining me now from the Sporting News. He's a Pittsburgher, 344 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 2: He's a Red. He is Mike de Corsi. Mike, I'm 345 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: not shocked the Steelers did nothing at yesterday's trade deadline, 346 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: but I think they should have. The deadline is about 347 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 2: keeping up with the Joneses, and the Steelers didn't. 348 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: Well, I think that. 349 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 3: You know, one of the things that Mike Tomlins said 350 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 3: yesterday at his press conference was he likes to go shopping. Well, 351 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 3: I like to go shopping, but when I go into 352 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 3: a store and I see an item that I think 353 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 3: I might want and there's no available price tag, and 354 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 3: you say to the clerk how much the second it costs? 355 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 7: And then you hear the price and you say, man, 356 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 7: I don't want it. 357 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 3: That bad, and I think that that's what it came 358 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 3: down to for the Steelers. I think they would have 359 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 3: loved to have had Kobe Myers on their team, but 360 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 3: they weren't going to pay two draft picks for a 361 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 3: rental when you don't know how quickly the player will 362 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 3: get acclimated. You don't if you don't know if he'll 363 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 3: stay with you long term, or maybe even whether the 364 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 3: cost for a long term, longer term would be worthwhile. 365 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 7: And I honestly, I think he's a better player. 366 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 3: At this stage of his career than Calvin Austin. Don't 367 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 3: get me wrong, but if you look at the stats 368 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 3: through this part of the season, there's not enormous difference 369 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 3: between the two of them. I don't think that, with 370 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 3: the way the Steelers are playing at this stage, and 371 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 3: as they've continued to evolve, that having a second receiver 372 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 3: of Meyer's quality would make enough of a difference to 373 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 3: justify paying those two draft Well. 374 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 2: No, that last part I get Mike, because I mean, 375 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: who knows how to utilize him. I mean, it's just 376 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 2: not that kind of offense. But the reason I'd have 377 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 2: done it is because I don't think the price of 378 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 2: a fourth and a sixth was onerous. I would have 379 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: traded for Shaheed maybe from New Orleans too. He commanded 380 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 2: a similar return. And my disclaimer would be, if DK 381 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 2: gets hurt the season is over, I would have got 382 00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 2: a guy like that's not the way to be the 383 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: number two receiver. 384 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: But as DK. 385 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 7: Insurance, Yeah to me, I'll be honest with you, I 386 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 7: don't think you. 387 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 3: I mean, if DK gets hurt for a couple of games, 388 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 3: it may be a couple of games you're gonna lose. Anyway, 389 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 3: if DK gets hurt and he's down for a protracted period, 390 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 3: Kobe Myers isn't changing your math. I mean, you're you're 391 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 3: not going where you had hoped to go, and certainly 392 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 3: not where you were probably going. You know that you 393 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 3: had a chance to go. I don't think Jakobe Myers 394 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 3: changes that. 395 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 7: I really don't like. 396 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 2: I said if I like the hope that he could though, 397 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 2: and I would trade a fourth and the sixth based 398 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: on hope, based on you have all these old guys 399 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 2: on the team, Mike. They they're now denying that anybody else, 400 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: well not them, but people were saying they never said 401 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 2: they're all in. 402 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: But with these old guys. 403 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 7: They are well, I mean they're in as much as 404 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 7: they can be. 405 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 3: Certainly they want this season to be the best they 406 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 3: it could be, and that over the last several years 407 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 3: has meant close to the playoffs or in the playoffs, 408 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 3: and it hasn't met advancement. And maybe if you get 409 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 3: a couple of breaks, you can advance. But I think 410 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 3: that if Myers had been available with another year on 411 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 3: his deal, I would have paid maybe even. 412 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 7: More than a fourth and a sixth, But it to 413 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 7: get him for eight games at that price. 414 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 3: With the way the Steelers operate their offense, I mean 415 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: they brought in Mike Williams last year. 416 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 7: They didn't give up very much, but. 417 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 3: They barely threw him the ball, They barely put him 418 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 3: out there. 419 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 7: And I know Myers is a better football player today 420 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 7: than Williams was on that day. 421 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 3: But it's still in the end, it's about costs versus reward. 422 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 3: And while I don't have any doubt Myers would make 423 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 3: you better for those last eight games, I don't know 424 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 3: if he would make you enough better to make it worthwhile. 425 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: What's this matchup like at the LA Chargers Sunday night? 426 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 2: Because I think Herbert's a top ten quarterback. The Chargers 427 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 2: can run the ball too, but they're in a state 428 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 2: of flux with their tackles being injured. Although they did 429 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 2: go out and get a guy. 430 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that that's you know, they've 431 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 3: got real challenges in that department. You want to protect 432 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 3: such a terrific player like Herbert, But you know, Harpert's 433 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 3: been one of those guys that has been a stat 434 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 3: guy more than a win guy. And I'm not saying 435 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 3: that he can't beat the Steelers or anything like that. 436 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 3: I mean, he certainly can. 437 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: If he was a win guy, like I'd have him 438 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: top five, not top ten. 439 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, there you go. You know, there's still a lot 440 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 7: out there that he hasn't done. 441 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 3: He's got a lot more commercials than he's got playoff wins, 442 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 3: let's put it that way. 443 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 7: I think that it's a it's a game. 444 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 3: It's very difficult for the Steelers, but based on their 445 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 3: performance against against the Colts, it's certainly not unwinnable. They 446 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 3: have to approximate what they did against Indy last Sunday. 447 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 7: They were they. 448 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 3: Were it was the by far the best they've played, 449 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 3: and not just because Indy's really good, but because they 450 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 3: really didn't leave anything undone in that game. Last last 451 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 3: time they had a complete performance was against Minnesota. And 452 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 3: except for that that foul up on the long pass, well, 453 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 3: that was much more of a problem a predation comment 454 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 3: than the foul up of the fumble on the first 455 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 3: down conversion by Roman Wilson. That this that created a 456 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 3: significant problem for the Steelers. This one just created at a 457 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 3: little bit of a headache. 458 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: Should Ramsey and Dugger continue as the safeties, even when 459 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 2: the crappy safeties get healthy, There's no. 460 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 3: Way I would I would move away. I mean, remember 461 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 3: Deshaun Elliott's not in that crappy club. I mean he's 462 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 3: a very capable player. Whether or not he's he's as 463 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 3: good in every down safety as Douger. 464 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 7: That's something that will be established. 465 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 3: While Deshaun is out, Elliott is among the best run 466 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 3: support to safeties day at. 467 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 2: Least you have some depth, Mike. But I don't think 468 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 2: he's going to be back anytime soon. Let's say he's 469 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 2: not back for four games. Do you just stick with 470 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: Ramsey and Dugger. 471 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 3: Well, at that point, if they're doing a good job, yeah, 472 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 3: But for me, the real key question is Ramsey, I 473 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 3: had said several weeks ago on the Friday Football Show 474 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 3: that that I thought that that was the biggest need 475 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 3: for the Steelers to trade for, was a free safety. 476 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 3: And ultimately they decided, at least for Saturday Sunday, and 477 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 3: I hope and think for the future, they decided that 478 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 3: they had traded for him, and they finally committed to 479 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 3: Ramsey as a full time safety. And there's a couple 480 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 3: of things there. Won He's way better than what they had. 481 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 3: I mean, the safety was a disaster position for this team. 482 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 3: It's the biggest reason they were so poor for most 483 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 3: of the first half of the season. And second of all, 484 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 3: you remember, like, the biggest mistake I think the Steelers 485 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 3: have made, other than the Marino not non draft pick 486 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 3: in nineteen eighty three, the biggest mistake this organization. 487 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 7: Made was not seeing Rod Woodson as a safety. 488 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 3: I saw it at the time, and I'm being honest 489 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 3: with you. 490 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 7: I saw it like if you thought that he wasn't. 491 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 3: An elite corner anymore. I never had any doubt he's 492 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: going to be an elite safety. He was just too 493 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 3: great a football player, too great an athlete, He had everything, 494 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 3: too smart too sighs. 495 00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, smart. 496 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 3: He had every thing, and it showed in his time, 497 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 3: Uh with with the Ravens, especially won the Super Bowl 498 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 3: with them. 499 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 7: Uh that he had he had it. 500 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 3: And and Ramsey, I don't know that he's Rob Woodson 501 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 3: back there, but he is so much. 502 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 7: Better than what they have. 503 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 3: And the point I'm kind of kind of getting too 504 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 3: slowly is he could be there for a long time. 505 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 3: He could you know, he could be there for three, 506 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 3: four five years as a high end free safety and 507 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: you don't have to worry about that position again for 508 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 3: a while. 509 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 2: No, I I totally agree. We're talking to Mike the 510 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: course he brought to us by South Hills Kia. South 511 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 2: Hills Kia has the ride and a priceial love. I 512 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 2: loved how the Steelers juggled the front seven with that 513 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 2: occasional four to three look Mike up, Watt, Peyton, Wilson, 514 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 2: Hein Smith. They had like their best games of the year, 515 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 2: and I think they kind of fan off that. 516 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 7: Yeah. 517 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 3: And one of the interesting things I was complaining a 518 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 3: lot and some others about the lack of blitzing, especially 519 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 3: against against the raven excuse me, against the the Bengals 520 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 3: and Flacco in the in their game a couple of 521 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 3: weeks go and they didn't blitz hardly at all in 522 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 3: this game, and they still really got to Daniel Jones. 523 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 7: That was impressive. When they did blitz, I think they 524 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 7: were effective. 525 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 3: When they didn't, they were they were still getting they 526 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: were getting home, or they were being bothersome with with. 527 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 7: The straight four man rush. 528 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 3: I think they were more inventive with what they did 529 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 3: in terms of their rush, and I think they were 530 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 3: more determined. And the other thing that they did that 531 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 3: they weren't doing for a couple of games was when 532 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 3: they when they were able to drive the offensive lineman 533 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 3: back a little but not all the way, get their 534 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 3: hands up. 535 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 7: I mean, Daniel. 536 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 3: Jones is six five sixty six and they were still 537 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 3: swatting his passes down like he was Dylan Gabriel. 538 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 2: Why doesn't Porter get used more on pressman coverage. He 539 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 2: did that more against Indy and I thought had his 540 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 2: best game of the year. Now, I agree, since being drafted, 541 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 2: he's not progressed like that hoped. 542 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: But I want to see them play it with strengths. Mike. 543 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: I don't mind the occasional flag if he covers like 544 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: he did against the Colts. 545 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that that that goes down to. 546 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 3: Who's around him, the scheme, what they're worried about others doing, 547 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 3: and I think some of that again goes back to 548 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 3: having somebody behind you that can help. I mean they 549 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 3: were getting no help at all from the free safety 550 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 3: position mark for the first seven eight games, so they 551 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 3: were getting almost none, and I think the first time 552 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 3: out when Ramsey played there a little bit early, I 553 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 3: think it was getting adjusted to it. 554 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 7: But he was terrific on Sunday. 555 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,479 Speaker 3: His presence made a big difference, and I think they 556 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 3: felt like they could be more aggressive at times. I 557 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 3: think they still were effective in zone coverage as well. 558 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 3: I'm not as discouraged with Joey. 559 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 7: I mean, you'd like him to be better than he 560 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 7: is or better. 561 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 3: Than he has been, but he's been good at a 562 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 3: lot of things in his three years. The penalty thing 563 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 3: was really problematic against the Bengals, but I think if 564 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 3: you took all his Bengals penalties out, he seems to 565 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 3: be when he has his most trouble. 566 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 7: But I think if you took all. 567 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: Those out, his penalty numbers would be that much different 568 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 3: than the average cornerback. 569 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 7: It's just you go he goes up. 570 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 3: Against the Bengals and he gets, you know, he gets 571 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 3: he's up into double digits. 572 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 7: He's like Steph Curry trying to get the twenty points. 573 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: Give me the pros and cons of Aaron Rodgers so far, 574 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 2: because he's not spectacular, He's opportunistic, get precise, got. 575 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: A lot of touchdown passes. 576 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: But I was shocked to learn Mike that the Steelers 577 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: lead the NFL in three and outs forty three percent 578 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: of the time. And that can't help but reflect someone 579 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 2: the quarterback. 580 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, but I think that some of that 581 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 3: also reflects on the offensive line, and it's and it's 582 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 3: gradual growth. They were better over the course of the 583 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 3: last couple of weeks than they were over the first 584 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 3: couple of weeks of the season, So I think the 585 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 3: offensive line continues to improve. 586 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 7: Faltanu has been really good. Broderick Jones still. 587 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 3: Has his breakdowns at times, but I think he's been better. 588 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 3: And they've had a little bit of trouble at the 589 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 3: left guard position. I think I think some of that 590 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 3: was health related, and so I think there are times 591 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 3: when when Rogers gets rid of the ball quickly just 592 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 3: because he knows that the play's not going to happen, 593 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 3: and they wind up in third downs that aren't manageable. 594 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 3: And I do think they probably lean toward the give 595 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 3: up play on third and long more than some teams. 596 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 3: I mean, like, if you're facing the Steelers defense and 597 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 3: it's third and long, it's not over. So why is 598 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 3: it over for the Steelers against I don't know the 599 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 3: Bengals or whoever. They do tend to do that a 600 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 3: little bit when they get behind the chains. I think 601 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 3: that's still a lack of trust in the O line 602 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 3: and I'd like to see them get beyond that. 603 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 2: Mike, do you agree with the fixation on Mott Washington 604 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 2: at tight end and obviously the expense of John new Smith. 605 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: People say Washington's a unicorn. I kind of feel he's 606 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: just big. 607 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: I can't argue with how he's done, but I don't 608 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: like Smith being. 609 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: On a milk carton. 610 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 6: Yeah. 611 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 3: I don't want I don't want John Ousmith to disappear either, 612 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 3: But remember some of that was they threw him the 613 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 3: ball and it and and it didn't happen on the 614 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 3: first play of the game. 615 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 7: And you asked me before about the. 616 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 3: About the the upside downside of Rogers and I didn't 617 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 3: get to the downside. 618 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 7: And I think some of the downside is one. 619 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 3: I think he's a little bit too demonstrative when things 620 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 3: don't go right, just. 621 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 7: A little bit. 622 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 3: I'm not I don't have a problem with making sure 623 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 3: that someone gets the message. 624 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 7: Like when Warren missed the uh the audible on that 625 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 7: flea flicker a couple of weeks ago. I think it's 626 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 7: okay to make sure that he gets the message. That's 627 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 7: not going to be acceptable. 628 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 3: But I do think there's a little bit of excess there, 629 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 3: a little bit. 630 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 7: And then the second thing he does is he has 631 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 7: a memory. 632 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 3: Like if you let him down like Muth did in 633 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 3: the second game, I think against Seattle or John who 634 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 3: did on the first play this this last game, he 635 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 3: remembers and he starts looking for other guys. 636 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 7: And I would say that that's what happened to John 637 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 7: Who on Sunday in a large part is he they 638 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 7: threw him. They threw him that ball. It should have 639 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 7: been a big play. It could have been a big play. 640 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 3: The throw could have been a little better, but it 641 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 3: probably was still catchable by a player with John Who's ability. 642 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 7: I would suspect that next time. If they threw him 643 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 7: that ball and. 644 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 3: He caught it, he'd end up catching three four balls 645 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 3: and getting a bunch of yards. 646 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 2: When the Steelers abandoned the run, which they've done too 647 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 2: quickly the last couple of games, Mike, is that a 648 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 2: coaching decision or a Rogers decision? 649 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: I guess we don't really know, but I wonder. 650 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 3: I don't think that that they abandoned it too quickly 651 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 3: against the Colts because they weren't getting anywhere. The Colts 652 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 3: decided that the Steelers weren't going to run, and so 653 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 3: you can go ahead and continue to bang your. 654 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 7: Head against that wall. 655 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 3: But or you could take advantage of Okay, well, if 656 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 3: they're taking that away, they got to be given us something, 657 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 3: and I think that something was the tight end passes, 658 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 3: especially to Washington, and they were. 659 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:47,959 Speaker 7: Successful in that. 660 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 3: The game before that was one where I thought that 661 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 3: they got behind, both in terms of the chains with 662 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 3: early penalties as well as getting into that game where 663 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 3: you kind of had to score to match with Green Bay. 664 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 3: Right Statistically, statistically they didn't run the ball enough in 665 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 3: the second half, but practically they you know, they probably 666 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 3: ran it about as much within a few plays of 667 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 3: what they could afford to. So I'm not concerned about 668 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 3: that element. I think you certainly would want to go 669 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 3: out to to to La and get back to running 670 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 3: the football at the way you're capable of, the way 671 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 3: they did in the first half against the Packers, the 672 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 3: way they did for the entire game against the Bengals. 673 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 2: Mike, we agree to disagree. I think they should have 674 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 2: done more at the deadline. You don't. I think the 675 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 2: proofs in the pudding. I feel like they need to 676 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 2: win at LA to prove they didn't need to make 677 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 2: a move yesterday. 678 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: And I think if they do that, there's a long 679 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: way to go. 680 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 2: But they will have kept the Ravens at arms length 681 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 2: in a period when they. 682 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 3: Might not have right and the Ravens still have a 683 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 3: very soft period in their schedule, And so that that's 684 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 3: a constant concern for the Steelers, is you want to 685 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 3: stay ahead of them, and and and this is in 686 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 3: this particular season, winning the division may be the only 687 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 3: path in it may it may not be it, but 688 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 3: it may be because they're strong teams in the West. 689 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,839 Speaker 3: There's two really, really really good teams in the East. 690 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 3: So it may be your one path into the playoffs 691 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 3: to win the division. 692 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 7: So staying ahead of. 693 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 3: Baltimore all the way through it may be of paramount importance. 694 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 7: It's not just a pride thing. 695 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,479 Speaker 3: It's not just a wouldn't it be cool to say 696 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 3: we run the North and all that. 697 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 7: It's it may be the only way to the postseason. 698 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's here's the thing that worries me, Mike, 699 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 2: And it would be ironic and really so typical of 700 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 2: how things have gone for the Steelers the last decade. 701 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: What if they win the division in Kansas City and 702 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: Buffalo are both wild cards. 703 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 3: Well, at least you'd have them here and you wouldn't 704 00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 3: have to go into those buildings. 705 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 7: Uh and either free and Freezer tails off. 706 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 3: In either in either location, they've had some really rough 707 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 3: weather both in Case when they got when they got 708 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 3: smacked around, and then the snow game that Mason tried 709 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 3: to play in. 710 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 7: A couple of years ago. So you at least should 711 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 7: have them here. But no, Yeah, it is certainly as 712 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 7: a possibility. 713 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 3: Buffalo has has a real tough division race in order 714 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 3: to get to uh head of New England, and and hey, 715 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 3: Casey's in as much trouble to make the playoffs as 716 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 3: a lot of teams because again because uh there are 717 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 3: there are really good teams in their division that are 718 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 3: playing well Denver and and l A uh and then 719 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 3: of course you have those two teams in the East 720 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 3: and uh so it's it's it's gonna be a maybe 721 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 3: as fascinating a race for the wild card playoff places 722 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 3: as we've seen in a very long time. 723 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: Mike, we're up against We'll talk about Liverpool next week 724 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: after we beat City on Sunday. 725 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 7: Great stuff sounds great, Thanks Mark. 726 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: That's Mike. 727 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 2: The course he brought to us by south Fields Kisa. 728 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,959 Speaker 2: Southfields Key has the ride and a price you'll love
