1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: The Steelers hosting excuse me visiting Baltimore Sunday. Both team 2 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: six and six tie to top the AFC North, joining 3 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: me now to discuss You hear him on the Steelers 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: Radio network with the postgame show. He has a great 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,159 Speaker 1: podcast with Trey Essex. Always a pleasure to welcome to 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: the program. Charlie Batch, Charlie up. How does this game 7 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: weigh for each team? Is it do or diet? Seems 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: like with the Steelers it goes beyond math and standings 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: like it's a slight bit more important for them. 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a bigger game for sure for the 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 2: Steelers because you look at it right now, they're already 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 2: a have game behind. But ultimately you can now head 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: to head you'll lose that tab breaker. So for the 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: Steelers to their schedule is a little bit tougher in 15 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: Baltimore as you head down a stretch, So they have 16 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: to figure out a way to go on the road 17 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: and beat Baltimore. 18 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: Here this weekend we talk a lot about what the 19 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: Steelers do wrong, but what are they doing right right now? 20 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 3: Charlie? 21 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: What can they hang their hat on and what should 22 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: they lean on at Baltimore? 23 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: I think the only thing that they can really lean 24 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: on is the fact that they create turnovers and they 25 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: score points off of those turnovers. But outside of that, 26 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: I can't sit up here and tell you that, you know, 27 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: they do all of these other things right because they 28 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: don't do it consistently. And that's the challenge that you 29 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: have with this team, and it's been an issue all year. 30 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: That's why you see statistically with both sides of the 31 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: ball at the at the almost the bottom of the 32 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: league as it comes to rankings, but yet turnover wise, 33 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: you know, they feel pretty good that way. But that's 34 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: the kind of the formula of their success this whole season. 35 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: I totally agree. 36 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: And one of the byproducts of what we're talking about 37 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: the Steelers failure to do much right is it comes 38 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: down a lot that can they stop what. 39 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 3: The other team prefers to do it? 40 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: In this case, it's can the Steelers contain Derrick Henry 41 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: in Baltimore's running game, because that's not exactly been a 42 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: Steelers strength this. 43 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: Year, not at all. And you know, the image that 44 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: at least I have in my mind along with other 45 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: Steelers Nation, is the fact that that playoff game last 46 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,919 Speaker 2: year when he rushed for two hundred ninety nine yards, 47 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: and he answered that the Steelers head was to draft 48 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: Derek Harmon in the first round. He missed time earlier 49 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: in the season, played well as the year went on, 50 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: but here he is now not available at this particular 51 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: jump sure of the season. So when you now go 52 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 2: into Baltimore knowing that they're going to run the football, 53 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 2: they're going to turn around and hand that ball off 54 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: to Derrick Henry, how can you stop that? Because last 55 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: week you wasn't able to stop it at home, and 56 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: there's not many pieces. You're losing pieces of that defense 57 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: every single week. But now can somebody get excited about 58 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: what they're going to do potentially in Baltimore? I promise 59 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: you this. They're going to line up in that same 60 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: formation of Buffalo ran and they're going to run the 61 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 2: exact same play. When I was here, we used to 62 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 2: call it twenty two double, and they're going to now 63 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 2: run that particular play and force a corner to come 64 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: up and make the tackle. That's going to be something 65 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: that they have to prove that they can stop, because 66 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: if not, they're going to continue to see it until 67 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: Steelers can stop it. 68 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: Well, they didn't stop it against Buffalo and they haven't 69 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: stuck Derrick Henry the past couple of meetings. 70 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 3: What can they do to adjust to stop that play? 71 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 3: What would you do? 72 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: The only thing that you really can do is commit 73 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 2: one more person to the box and if that's the case, 74 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: then now you have one on one on the outside, 75 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: and essentially it's a lot easier for a quarterback to 76 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: throw knowing that you don't have to guess what the 77 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: coverage is. It's going to be man and man on 78 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: the outside, and that advantage typically goes to the offense, 79 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: and that's going to be something that really we're going 80 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: to see what that formula looks like. All I know 81 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: is they better not line up in that two defensive 82 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: lineman front with four linebackers because that has been a 83 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: disaster for a run defense for the Steelers over the 84 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: past couple of weeks. 85 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: Is lamar what he was or maybe he's still hurt. 86 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: That's kind of what I suspect. He's really hesitant to 87 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: use his legs right now, isn't he. 88 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks to me just watching him like something 89 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: is off. I know he's not practicing throughout the course 90 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: of the week, and he's done so over the last 91 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 2: few weeks very similar to the approach that he has 92 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: this week. So to me, that tells me, Okay, you're 93 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: battling more than just the hamstring injury. Is there a 94 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: foot injury attached it out as well that you're now nursing. 95 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: We don't know, but either way, you're going to play 96 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: him to the point of forcing him to make him run, 97 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: just to see if able to do that, and then 98 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: from here you have to figure out a way to 99 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: corroule him inside the pocket and make him a pure passer. 100 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: But if you don't have that threat of the running 101 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: game for Lamar Jackson, I don't know how much of 102 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: a threat that he's going to have in that running game, 103 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: because you can stop the running back, but the running 104 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: the quarterback is the one that hurts you. 105 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: H Pittsburgh's defense has obviously been disappointing. 106 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 3: We talk about that every week. What about Baltimore's defense. 107 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,559 Speaker 1: To Statistically, Baltimore's defense isn't much better? 108 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 3: What's gone wrong with them? And who's gone bad? 109 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't look idea as aggressive this year as 110 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 2: they want in the past. Are not getting out of 111 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: the quarterback, and I think that's something that has always 112 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 2: been a formula for Baltimore, and that's always allowed them 113 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: to hold on the backside and get away with certain 114 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: PI penalties because the ball was coming out so fast. 115 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 2: Right now you're not seeing it and the teams are 116 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: taking advantage of that through the air. But now what's 117 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: but again, how can the Steelers now adjust to that? 118 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: Because they haven't been great in the passing game? So 119 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: you know, to me, if I'm sitting there with essentially 120 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 2: sitting here at five hundred, if I'm Martha Smith, I'm saying, 121 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: you want to know what I'm putting the ball in 122 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers' hand. Let me attempt to maybe put three 123 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: or four receivers out there to now allow him to 124 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: manage the line of scrimmage and get this team in 125 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 2: the right play, because that's going to be the formula 126 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: to beat this team because we have not seen the 127 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: lack of big plays. What better way for you to 128 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 2: start it this week? 129 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: Charlie, I agree one hundred percent. 130 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: And I think the Steelers are limited on our offense, 131 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: not because of what they can't do, but I think 132 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: they're limited by what they choose. 133 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 3: To not do. 134 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's it, and right now you know, you 135 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: look at it, they're getting the ball out of the hands, 136 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: and you know they choose not to throw the ball 137 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: downfield because they believe in the belief of getting your 138 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: playmakers the ball in their hands in space, allowing them 139 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: to run after the catch. Well, that that defensives caught 140 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: up to that particular formula. So you're not doing that correctly. 141 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 2: They're going to have to pop a big play and 142 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: hit one deep early in the game to soften up 143 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: that Baltimore defense. And if you can do so, now 144 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: they fall back a little bit, then maybe that increases 145 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: and it opens up those running lanes. If you do that, 146 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: then maybe that helps you. But you have to hit 147 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 2: that play early. 148 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: We're talking to Charlie match here on the Mark Madden Show. Charlie, 149 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: it's tough to tell from afar, But where would you 150 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: guess Aaron Rodgers is a mentally he looks like a 151 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: pow half the time. 152 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 2: When I looked at him, you know, I look at 153 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 2: him prior to the injury. Prior to the injury, looked 154 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: like he was standing in the pocket willing to take 155 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: that shot, you know, to try to create the big play. 156 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 2: But once he had that injury. He's now trying to 157 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 2: get the ball out of his hands and it looks 158 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 2: like he's protecting the hand more than anything, and Arthur 159 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: Smith is making sure, Hey, we're gonna now throw the 160 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: fall short to get the ball out of his hands. 161 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: The defense can't, you know, attack him. But then when 162 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: you have a play like you did on that first 163 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 2: pass play of the second half against Buffalo, where he 164 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 2: takes the shot, he lands on it, he misses a 165 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 2: couple plays, how does that linging injury affect what happens 166 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: this week? So you know already Baltimore is going to 167 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: try to figure out a way even if they get 168 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 2: close enough to him at least just knocking down to 169 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: make him now have to embrace on that fall so 170 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 2: he now can think about that injury versus just going 171 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 2: out there playing. So it's up to that offensive line 172 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: right now. No quarterback ever wants to get hurt Mark 173 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 2: that's for sure, or get hit, but ultimately you want 174 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: to make sure that you're protecting that guy so you 175 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: can attend to throw up ball down the field. 176 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: Charlie, We've talked about this repeatedly and I want to 177 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: do it again. I'm dumbfounded. By the lack of use 178 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: for fire Moove. To me, nothing they do instead justifies 179 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: that it. 180 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: Doesn't at all. And you know we spoke earlier in 181 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: the season, and you know week two when they play 182 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: Seattle and he dropped that deep corner route when Aaron 183 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: Rodgers rolled out to his right and I said, wow, 184 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: we're not seeing him. Initial thought was maybe he got 185 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: in the doghouse then, and then we saw him get 186 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: the big play against Cincinnati, he had it win over 187 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: one hundred yards, and we're thinking that we're going to 188 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: now see him more and more in its offense, and 189 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: that has not happened. I don't know who does not 190 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: like Pat Fryer Moose. All I know is is not 191 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 2: management because they paid him. So what other coaches not 192 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: is in there that is not vouching for that guy 193 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: when they're sitting there doing game plan to say we 194 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: need to get fire Mouth on the field. Something's going on. 195 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: Because we've been talking about it now for ten weeks 196 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: and because we continuously see it. That's the mist's question 197 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: that everybody wants to know. Why isn't that Firemuth's playing. 198 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 2: He's saying all the right things, but there's something else. 199 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: Going on internally that we don't know about. 200 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 3: If I'm Baltimore, I'm obviously going to run the ball. 201 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: We talked about that, but I'd be tempted to pass too, 202 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: because look at the change over the Steelers have had 203 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: in their secondary. Now we find out today the Dugger's injured. 204 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: It looks like Chuck Clark's going to start. That secondary 205 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: is supposed to be a strength, Charlie. It's never come 206 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: close to turning out, has it. 207 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 2: No, it hasn't. And the reason why Dougger is on 208 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 2: this roster is because Chuck Clark couldn't perform. And now 209 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you know, you got to turn 210 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 2: around and say, hey, we didn't mean what we did 211 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: at the beginning of November by trading for a guy 212 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: we always believed in. 213 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: You. 214 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: Let's now you have to go in and help the 215 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: team perform, and now put your ego to the side. 216 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: He hopefully he steps in and is able to play. 217 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 2: But again, you don't have your corners right now. You 218 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: have obviously the others out with the hand. You have 219 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: Joey Porter dealing with something with his arm. But again, 220 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 2: what does that look like from a cover standpoint? We're 221 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: going to see it probably a lot of Brandon Echols. 222 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: We're going to see probably a Sante Samuels as well 223 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: this week. So again, that secondary is a work in progress. 224 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 2: The only way that you can compliment that that back 225 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 2: end is getting after the quarterback and forcing those quicker 226 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 2: passes out of Lamar Jackson's hands. 227 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: Uh oh, wins Charlie. This is tough one to be 228 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: optimistic about. 229 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 2: It really is. Do I think that the Baltimore is 230 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 2: six and a half point favorites? 231 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 4: No? 232 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: I mean on paper, yes you can say that, but 233 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: I don't think it only because it is the rivalry. 234 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: The only thing that I'm hoping that happened this week 235 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: is because you do have a lot of new players 236 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: who are on this roster, not familiar as a relation 237 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 2: to player wise in this rivalry, but they've seen it 238 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 2: over the years. You hope that that encourages them, gets 239 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: them excited. Because the one thing that Tomlin always would 240 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 2: do is say, hey, guys, you know these players. This 241 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 2: is how they made a name for you, because you're 242 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 2: a truly a Steeler until you make a play in 243 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: this rivalry series. So who is going to be that 244 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: player at that particular point all week, the players have 245 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 2: defended Tomlin as it relates to why he needs to 246 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 2: stay because the message is still there and they believe 247 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: in that message. Now they have to prove the player 248 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 2: wise that they actually can go out there and deliver 249 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 2: and soften a lot of the noise that we've been 250 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: hearing this week as it related to the fire, Tom 251 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 2: and Chance. 252 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 3: I could not have put it better and. 253 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: It frustrates me though to think that my best bet 254 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: for the Steelers winning this game is Baltimore losing it, 255 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. 256 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've seen Baltimore turn the ball over and 257 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: when they do, they lose. So again, we already noticed 258 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 2: Steelers formula. So if they can figure out a way 259 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: to now get him to make those mistakes, especially if 260 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 2: he becomes one dimensional one have to read coverages. Can 261 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 2: you confuse him enough to make him create those errors. 262 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 2: That was the formula that was usual when we played 263 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco when he was in Baltimore, which you eventually 264 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 2: would make a mistake. You're now hoping that Lamar Jackson 265 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: falls in that category and if you can get one 266 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: or two turnovers and turnovers over in the points, maybe 267 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 2: that is the difference as they head into Baltimore. 268 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 3: You know, it's funny. I just want to mention Derek 269 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 3: Henry one more time. 270 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: He reminds me of the Bust a little bit because 271 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: he's getting older and certain things about him are very 272 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: slightly diminishing, but he's still got that power. I can't 273 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: believe a guy can run like that and dishot and 274 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: absorb that kind of punishment as long as guys like 275 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: that do. 276 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, he is a large human being, that's for sure. 277 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: And trying to tackle reminds me of Brandon Jacobs. You 278 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 2: know that was with the Giants years ago, that he 279 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 2: would bring him in the game and it was very 280 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: tough for him to bring down. But Dereck Henry is 281 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: on another level and this guy continues to play. That's 282 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 2: why he got the contract extension last year because they 283 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 2: believe in what he's doing. The only thing that you 284 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: can possibly hope that happens is the fact that maybe 285 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: the familiarity with Arthur Smith down in Tennessee can say, hey, 286 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: here's some of the things that he doesn't do well. 287 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: Maybe getting him running laterally versus vertically, you know, straight downfield, 288 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 2: that maybe you could take advantage that way. So you're 289 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 2: hoping that any little tip can help in this particular manner. 290 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: But to your point, Mark Derek Henry still has. 291 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: It well in that vein. 292 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: Would you rather see the Steelers defense be more aggressive 293 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: and fail in the attempt than be passive, which they 294 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: sometimes are, especially you know as the game gets older. 295 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, before we used to you know, talk 296 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 2: about that bend, that break mentality and defense would defensively, 297 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 2: they would hold them to a field goal. Right now, 298 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: that's going to happen, and defense offenses are scoring on 299 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: this defense. So I would love for them to be 300 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 2: a little bit more aggressive, make Lamar, you know, get 301 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: into his hot reads because the blitz is coming, and 302 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 2: make them overthinking and maybe just create maybe off target 303 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 2: just a little bit and maybe create a punt situation. 304 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: If that happens, okay, great, But I just don't want 305 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: to see them sit back and now play that bend 306 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 2: that break mentality and then get crushed between from twenty 307 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 2: to twenty. I just don't want to see that. Give 308 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,239 Speaker 2: me a little bit more aggressiveness. 309 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: Charlie is always great insight, great work on the PLAT podcast, 310 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: in on the post game show, and we'll. 311 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 3: Talk again next week. 312 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 4: I appreciate it. 313 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: That's the great Charlie Batch, brought to us by eighty 314 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: four Lummer Dynasty, partner of the Pittsburgh Steelers. 315 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 3: Now it's time for calls on the fifteens. 316 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: Call now, should have plugged that earlier eight three three 317 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: four one two wxdx eight three three four one two wxdx. 318 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: And then mister Friday Afternoon who sucks joins me at 319 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: four thirty one oh five nine. 320 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 3: Oh it's the x X. 321 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: If you can't get enough, if you're Pittsburgh Steelers, then 322 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: check out the latest podcast from Steelers Nation Radio, a 323 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: part of the Steelers Audio Network, hundreds of hours of exclusive. 324 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: At Mark and Afternoon Gallant to Mark Madden, what do 325 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: you what? 326 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 5: What do you what? 327 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 3: Damn it? 328 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: The exit one oh five nine, Time not for calls 329 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: on the fifteens.

Mike, you're on with double. 347 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 6: M Hey Mark, big fan, big fan? 348 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: What up? 349 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 6: I got a comment and then question. My comment is 350 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 6: that Cam Haywards. I think one and eight in the playoffs. 351 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 6: I think it's the worst record ever for a guy 352 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 6: with that man that's correct playoff game. And then my 353 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 6: which is hilarious, but my TJ. 354 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: Wats never won a playoff game, and mark my words, Mike, 355 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: Tomlin will never win another playoff game. 356 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 3: Ever. 357 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 6: I agree, And my question for you is, would you 358 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 6: rather the Steelers go nine and eight and you know, 359 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 6: preserve Tomlin's record, but then get their door blown off 360 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 6: in the first round of the playoffs or would you 361 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 6: rather see them go eight to nine and have the 362 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 6: streak broken. 363 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: I think the best thing that could happen for the 364 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: Steelers as of right now would be to lose out 365 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: and finish six and eleven and have their problems made 366 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: crystal clear and get. 367 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 3: A better draft pick. I agree that's. 368 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: The best thing that could happen to the Steelers. Nobody 369 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: out there wants to hear that, but the Steelers need 370 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: so desperately to have a four and thirteen year, five 371 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: and twelve, six and eleven, and not just to get 372 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: the good draft pick, although this year would be a 373 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: good year to do that, what with the supposed influx 374 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: of good quarterbacks into this year's draft. 375 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 3: But this needs to be exposed. 376 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: It gets covered up at nine in eight, ten and 377 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: seven in the playoffs, never win a playoff game, but 378 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: it gets covered up by performing at you know, a 379 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: mediocre level. And the Steelers just I can't say they're 380 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: not mediocre because their record indicates that. 381 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 3: But they're not making progress either. 382 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: Like I said earlier in the show, and we talked 383 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: about the great Penguins win, which is what I'd rather 384 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: be talking about now that that very exciting four to 385 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: three win at Tampa Bay last night, Actually not at 386 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. It was at Tampa or was it Saint Pete. 387 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: But it's not in the Bay, that's not frozen. But uh, 388 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: but the Penguins are are developing. The Steelers are dead 389 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: and there's no way to see it otherwise. Let's go 390 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: to Ron Ron. 391 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 3: You're on with Mark. 392 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: Mark? 393 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 3: What I mean? What I may? 394 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 7: I just wanted to say. I'm not sure if you've 395 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 7: touched on it earlier, but just looking at the stat sheet, 396 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 7: this is a very different year for Ah, for Sid 397 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 7: and I was on pace for fifty goals and you know, 398 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 7: a little bit less than Austists. But what do you 399 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 7: think is driving that? 400 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 3: Well? 401 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: Sids always tempered his game to what the Penguins need 402 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: him to do. He's had two fifty goal seasons, He's 403 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: won two Rocket Rashard Trophies for most goals in the league. 404 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: And I think he senses that he needs goals and 405 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: there aren't especially with raquelap Aren't the wingers there to 406 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: make plays for it that he normally has. So he's 407 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: letting others make place for him, and he's making a 408 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: few more plays for himself. 409 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 3: And I say, God, bless. I mean, what a. 410 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: Hockey player that he can just look at what's needed 411 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: and go do it? 412 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 4: Fair enough? 413 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 7: I agree, Let's go Penns. 414 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: Thank you for the cop Right now, though, Let's go 415 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: bet Parks because the bet Parks on La Casino in 416 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: sportsbook is the only app I ever recommend, the only 417 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: one I use, and I love it.

You pick against them every week. 499 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: Why are you picking them this week? 500 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 5: I picked them last week and I'm taking them this week. 501 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 5: How are you saying you just made you just spread 502 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 5: misinformation on this platform by saying that I pick against 503 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 5: them every week. 504 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 3: All I know is all I know is you hate 505 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 3: the Steelers. 506 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 5: Now, all I know is that is a false narrative. 507 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: Okay, so you say, take the Steelers plus six at Baltimore. 508 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 3: Can you care to explain why? 509 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 5: Well, just both teams. The Steelers are usually like this 510 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 5: average this late in the season, but they always play 511 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 5: close games, like within three points of each other. And 512 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 5: this year Baltimore is even worse than they have been 513 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 5: in the past. For some reason, they're favorited not by 514 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 5: three points and favored by six points. That doesn't make 515 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 5: any sense to me. So this will be a typical 516 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 5: probably like twenty just three twenty Baltimore win. 517 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: Okay, Tom the producer, we need to have you find 518 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: a random sound effect right now to use for that 519 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: game because it is the five pointer. 520 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 3: We need to sound effect for the five pointer. 521 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: That game is this week's five pointer Steelers plus six 522 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: against Baltimore or okay, what do you have for the 523 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: pick of the week. 524 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 5: The lock? 525 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 3: Whatever? 526 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, let's go with uh.

Hey lose every year there, 530 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 5: every single year. I think it's like eight out of 531 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 5: nine years or eight years in a row. Some ridiculous things. 532 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 5: This is one of those automatic plays. Just wait for 533 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 5: Indianapolis to go to Jacksonville. Bet on Jacksonville and any 534 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 5: cash every year. So let's just say jacksonpe was one 535 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 5: and a half. 536 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: So the picks now Jacksonville plus a point and a 537 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: half correct, right. 538 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 5: And plus two. The Colts quarterbacks has a fractured leg. 539 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 5: That's not good for for that team.

Earlier this week, the penn scored a goal 678 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 4: to go ahead four to one against the Flyers, but 679 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 4: then the Flyers pulled off a somewhat questionable goalie interference 680 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 4: challenge to keep the score three to one. And I 681 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 4: couldn't help, But wonder do you think the refs consider 682 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 4: that automatic delay of game penalty that follows a failed 683 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 4: challenge when they make the final decision like in that case. 684 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: I think the reefs consider the score in situation when 685 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: they make almost any call, and I think that was 686 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: the case there. I don't think they wanted the Penguins 687 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: to go up four to one and then penalize the fly. 688 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: So I think if that had been like a one 689 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: to one game, maybe the call would have gone differently. 690 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: If it would have been a seven to one game, 691 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: maybe it would have gone differently. But with the game 692 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: still relatively close, I think that made it more likely 693 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: that the goal would not stand. 694 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. I couldn't agree more and I absolutely can't stand 695 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 4: that well. 696 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: I think you see that in every sport, though, don't you, Newman, 697 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: Where referees make calls based on the score. 698 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 4: Yep. They claim they don't want to affect the game, 699 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 4: but in doing so, they affect the game. 700 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: Anytime you make the call for any reason other than 701 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: what the call is, you're affecting the game. When you 702 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: call everything properly, that doesn't affect the game, that's just 703 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: letting the game take its natural course. 704 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 3: Let's go to Polly Polly esk Mark anything. 705 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 10: Hey, Mark, I was just reading about how in the 706 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 10: early days of guns n' roses that Slash kind of 707 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 10: screwed himself out of having Paul Stanley hook him up 708 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 10: with a guitar endorsement because he was talking a lot 709 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 10: of smack behind his back, and I was wondering what 710 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 10: the whole backstory of was of that. 711 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 3: Wait, who was he talking to smack? 712 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 10: Paul Stanley? Paul was supposed to hook him up with 713 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 10: the guitar endorsement, but then he was talking a lot 714 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 10: of crap, saying about the way how he dresses and 715 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 10: this and that. I guess he didn't like Kiss from 716 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 10: without the makeup. And then whenever Paul Stanley found out 717 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 10: about it, he just told him to go through himself. 718 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 3: I hadn't heard that, but it doesn't surprise me. 719 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: I can't believe that the Slash and Paul Stanley would 720 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: have much in common. I think Slash is a far 721 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: superior guitar player, and needless to say, you know, their 722 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: looks are very different. 723 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I know Slash's great. 724 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 3: Here there's a story here. 725 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: The Slash tried to recruit Stanley tried to recruit Slash 726 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: to join Kiss in the early eighties but passed due 727 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: to his age, and then they got a verbal dispute 728 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: publicly later. 729 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 10: Oh, okay, I guess that makes. 730 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of a lot of like Eddie 731 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: van Halen supposedly auditioned for for Kiss, Like there are 732 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: a lot of musicians potentially could have gone through Kiss. 733 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: Let's go to uh Antonio, Antonio, are you all with 734 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: Mark Hey? 735 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 11: Mark Eric did confirmed on his Instagram earlier today that 736 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 11: he is not returning to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, and the 737 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 11: river Hounds themselves confirmed that they are not picking up 738 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 11: Aggy Williams' option. I just wanted to know your thought 739 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 11: and feelings on that. 740 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:27,959 Speaker 6: Well. 741 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: I think Goggy Williams didn't do nearly what he was 742 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: paid to do. He was making like what one hundred 743 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: and seventy thousand and scored nine goals, So I think 744 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: they can replace him very readily. Eric Dick, from my understanding, 745 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: did he did he say where he was going to go? 746 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 4: He did not know. 747 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, because his family's from Indianapolis, and it had been 748 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: my understanding he was going to go sign with the 749 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: Indy eleven for next season, regardless of what happened in 750 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: the river Hins this year. But that's certainly a big 751 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: loss because he was the primary catalyst for them in 752 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: the playoff run. But in Triple A soccer, things change 753 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: all the time. Rosters, you know, get ripped asunder no 754 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: matter how the team does. It's about money, It's about 755 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: where you want to live. It's hard to keep a 756 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: team that wins together. It's hard to keep any team 757 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: together in Triple A soccer. 758 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 11: Absolutely, I'm still hard working up. 759 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 3: I'm glad they won once. 760 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: That's how I always am with stuff like that. Yeah, 761 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: it says that right here. USL Champion postseason MVP Eric 762 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: Dick will not return to River Hunts in twenty twenty six. 763 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: That's at Pittsburgh Soccer. Now, let's see says on instagram. 764 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,959 Speaker 1: Oh well, I mean, come on, it's minor league soccer. 765 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: You can get somebody else. Lay's the line open eight 766 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 1: three three four one two w xdx eight three three 767 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: four one two w xdx. 768 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 3: Uh, let's go to a talkback. 769 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 6: Mark, what's more damning losing his step as a cornerback 770 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 6: or losing his step as a winger in soccer. 771 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 3: That's a real good question. 772 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: I would think losing a step is a winger in 773 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: soccer because you got to have that acceleration to get 774 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: past guys, or you really don't do anything at cornerback. 775 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: Can you get physical to make up for losing a step? 776 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, but at least there's in theory something 777 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: else you can do. Then again, winging soccer, you could 778 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: always I don't know, switch to midfield something like that. 779 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: But that's a good question. Let's go to Bob, Bob 780 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: ask park anything. You're on the air, Bob, what do 781 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: you want? 782 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 2: I wanted to know if the Penguins putting the three 783 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 2: prospects on the same line together like that, on the 784 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 2: third line is going to help or hurt their future. 785 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 3: Well, I think it definitely helps them. 786 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: I mean, as long as they're not being coached to 787 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: play like third liners, it doesn't really matter, you know, 788 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: what line they're on. You can limit their minutes certainly, 789 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 1: But I think them playing together, you know, and being 790 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: you know, like skilled and like minded players, I think 791 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: that's gonna benefit them a great deal. And I think 792 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: we were already seeing the fruits of that. I think 793 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: it's a move I would have made a while back. 794 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: Why you couldn't because McGroarty had been hurt until recently, 795 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: but that you know, I suggested this before they did it. 796 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: That's not why they did it, but but it's a 797 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: great idea. All right, thank you, thank you. Leaves the 798 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,919 Speaker 1: line open eight three three four one two WSDX. 799 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 3: It's going to Steve. Steve ask Mark anything. 800 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 12: Yeah. Do you think the NFL kind of promotes the 801 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 12: fact that they don't want Toman to be fired? 802 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,760 Speaker 5: And why would the NFL? 803 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 3: Why would the NFL not want Tom to be fired? 804 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 12: I don't know. I just think there's a possibility today. 805 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: So you think there's so you think there's a league 806 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: wide conspiracy to talk up Tom wins he doesn't get fired. 807 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 12: I think that he hasn't shown had a good record 808 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:08,240 Speaker 12: being that's. 809 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: Not what I asked you, Okay, I I would fire 810 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: on myself. But why do you think the NFL doesn't 811 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: want him fired? 812 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 12: I just think that they'd like the stability of the Pittsburgh. 813 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 3: Team and they like why would they do that? Why 814 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 3: would they do that? 815 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 12: I don't know what the reason would be. 816 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 3: What what does the league have to gain by it? 817 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 12: I don't know. So you're getting you're. 818 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: You're totally wrong. The league has no vested interest in 819 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin remaining coach. You know, he is the league's 820 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: preeminent black coach. But if he got fired, like we 821 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: keep getting told, he'd have a job somewhere else in 822 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: five minutes. 823 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 3: So what's the difference where it is? 824 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 12: There's no difference whatsoever. 825 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 3: That's right. 826 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,399 Speaker 1: So you're just way off base and not that bright. 827 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: But thank you for the call. Let's go to Chainsaw, 828 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 1: Chainsaw as mark anything. 829 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, why does the NHL just get rid of the 830 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 5: loser point and just give two points to the winner? 831 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 5: Like what insteadive? 832 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,240 Speaker 1: Well, well, they could go they could give two points 833 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: the winner and no points to loser. Or you could 834 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 1: go three points for winning regulation, two points for a 835 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 1: win in overtime or shootout, then a loser point there. 836 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: That way, each game would be worth the same three points. 837 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: But the reason is because they want some games to 838 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: be worth more than others, because it clogs the standings. 839 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 3: I've said this before, Chainsaw. 840 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: The NHL is the only sports league where the general 841 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,760 Speaker 1: managers determine the method of play. The NFL, the owners 842 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: determine method of play, so they air on the side 843 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: of entertainment all the time. Air go all the rules 844 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: that favor the offense and get more points on the board. 845 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 1: In the NHL, though, the GMS want the standings to 846 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: be clogged and no one to drop way out of 847 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: the playoff race so gms don't lose their job, hence 848 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: the loser point blame blame, but in fact, thank you 849 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 1: for the call that would be it. I think they're 850 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: good enough to be a playoff team, but I think 851 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 1: you could say that about literally every team in the 852 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: Eastern Conference given how bad it is. Bad is translating 853 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: to balance. Next, going to talk to Tommy
