1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Gun play action pass looking here comes t J. Watt

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: from the back end, knocks away the ball. TJ.

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 2: Watts got it, He's picked it up. What the strip,

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: sack and TJ. Watt makes a play. The Steelers desperately needed.

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 3: To turn it over and that turned the game around.

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: Right there, play the game.

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 3: The author of that play call right here on your

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 3: radio home of the Steelers and the Steelers Audio Network,

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 3: Rob King joining us now for a power hour Steelers Time.

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 4: Oh.

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: I thought no, no, I thought he's going to be

12
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: a sack.

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: This is brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store,

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 3: the F one fifty, the official truck of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 3: I thought Jonathan Taylor was going to drive all over

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: the Steelers defense yesterday. I thought the secondary was going

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 3: to get lit up because of all of the injuries

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: and having to reform the defensive alignment and personnel. And

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: Jalen Ramsey's now playing free safety, a guy he just

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: picked up is going to be strong safety. And we

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: just got to hope for the best from Sleigh and

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: JPJ and Eccles slotting and benched well he should have.

23
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 3: But and then yeah, Corey Trice got hurt. She couldn't

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 3: that one. We haven't really talked about it, but it's

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: driving me crazy.

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 5: And lo and behold.

27
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: This ended up being the best defensive performance of the year,

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 3: and mostly from the guys down in front, who made

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 3: it pretty easy for.

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 6: The guys in the back to do their job. You know,

31
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 6: I never thought of that couplet. Well, I guess it's

32
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 6: a triplet low and behold. I guess that you need

33
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 6: them all, don't you. You can't just low something. I

34
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 6: guess you could behold something?

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: Well, is it low like attention exactly?

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 6: Behold is like yeah, yeah. It used to be yo

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 6: and behold, yeah, yo and behold.

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: Right, And then that changed the microphone check one too.

39
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: What is this?

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 5: It's just a.

41
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 7: Classier way of saying shut up and listen, stop, collaborate

42
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 7: and listen. You know, there was a couple things.

43
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 6: So first of all, you know, in the bigger picture,

44
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 6: the Colts had been the first team in the Super

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 6: Bowl Super Bowl era that through nine games had allowed

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 6: fewer than ten sacks and fewer than five turnovers.

47
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: And the Steelers sacked them five times and at six turnovers.

48
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 6: That's amazing. They just dominated the Colts as you guys know.

49
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 6: I mean, I watch every game, every opponent game before

50
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 6: the Steelers play them. So I watched every Colts game

51
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 6: during the course of the week, and I do watch

52
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 6: it on the condensed version. By the way, there could

53
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 6: just there simply would not be enough hours to watch

54
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 6: the three hour tell.

55
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 3: Like that scene in Diner where Steve Gutenberg makes his

56
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 3: wife take the Colts test before they can get married.

57
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 3: If she can't pass, they're not getting married. That's you

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: every week for our opponent. That's me every week for our opponent.

59
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: Max starts to give you the test.

60
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 6: And so it felt like, and again I don't have

61
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 6: any I didn't have the statistics for this, but it

62
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 6: felt like the Colts did a lot of throwing to

63
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 6: set up the run. Right throw, get a lead, run

64
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 6: the ball, big trouble, and it felt like they were

65
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 6: on the road to trying to do that yesterday, except

66
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 6: they forgot they needed to get the lead, and Taylor

67
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 6: then as the game went on, became less and less

68
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 6: of an option.

69
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just a great player, phenomenal runner.

70
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 6: So I think it's a little bit of the game

71
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 6: situation and a little bit of the job the defense did.

72
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: They did a great job on him.

73
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: Now, I equated this earlier to when they closed the

74
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 3: Fort Pitt Tunnel and somehow traffic got easier. Okay, Jalen

75
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: Ramsey at safety, he's just such.

76
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 6: A good player, you know. I mean, he's a great player.

77
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 6: He's going to the Hall of Fame right in all likelihood,

78
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 6: his career is going to wind up with him in

79
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 6: the Hall of Fame. He can play anywhere. He can

80
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 6: play in the slot, he can play outside, he can

81
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 6: play at safety. They have to have him at safety

82
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 6: right now, especially with all the injuries you know, not

83
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 6: only to Sean Elliott, Jabrill Peppers gets hurt this week. Now,

84
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 6: you mentioned about Thornhill Chuck Clark, So they had to

85
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 6: what else are they gonna do?

86
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Play with ten guys, They had to put him in.

87
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: The point is we're better off having a less efficient

88
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: you know, duo at corners and having him back there.

89
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: It's like Minca with some thud.

90
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 8: Yeah.

91
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 6: I think if if that was the case, you wouldn't

92
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 6: have traded Minca, you know what I mean.

93
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: I think they want him at corner.

94
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 5: I know they do.

95
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: Right now.

96
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 6: It's better with him, It's yes, yes, yes, right now,

97
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 6: it's better with him at safety for sure. And Douger

98
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 6: came in and did a great job. You know, Douger's

99
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 6: a he's a he's a thumper, like he's an athletic

100
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 6: guy that can play down in the box, but that's

101
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 6: where he needs to play.

102
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: He's a strong safety.

103
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: Isn't it interesting though, that something like that where a

104
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: guy comes in and you're not complicating it for him.

105
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: You're basically saying, you're playing football in this position, and

106
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 3: we're not throwing anything at you other than basic responsibilities

107
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: for somebody playing strong safety right now, communicate with the guys,

108
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 3: have out it, and that guy, first of all, has

109
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 3: the talent and the ability to come in communicate, ask questions,

110
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: figure it out. And they said by the end, he

111
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: was pointing stuff out to people and he was acting

112
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 3: like he had been in that defense for a long time.

113
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 3: Does uncomplicating things for this defense help them all across

114
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 3: the board? Like, do you think what they did yesterday

115
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: was more complicated than what they've been trying to do

116
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: in the past.

117
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I couldn't tell you. I don't know.

118
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 6: I mean, there were a couple of times when you know,

119
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 6: they had some alignment issues. I was out there counting.

120
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 6: I'm like, I think they only have take.

121
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: Dam when Pierre ran on the field and then he

122
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: looked back like should I be here? And thankfully they

123
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 3: ran the play and got a cam bat at it down.

124
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 6: Well, there's also a field goal attempt and I'm counting.

125
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 6: I'm trying to one two, and then the field goal.

126
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 6: I'm like, do they have twelve out there? I was,

127
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 6: and but on the fact that I have to count that,

128
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 6: you know or think about counting that, So I don't

129
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 6: know about the complication.

130
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: I would say this.

131
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 6: So if we've heard other players say we knew exactly

132
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 6: what Steels are going to do, right, and that's caused

133
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 6: a big uproar in Pittsburgh. They're not doing enough defensively,

134
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 6: so now they simplify it and we're like, there's the answer.

135
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: Well wait a minute. Last week it wasn't the answer

136
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: because everybody knew what they were gonna do.

137
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 5: So, yeah, on your one on ones, you got to

138
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 5: win your matchups at the end of the day.

139
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah.

140
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 6: I think it's a combination of things like the old

141
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 6: The old thing is, you know, it's it's not the

142
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 6: x's and o's to Jimmy's and Joe's. Okay, well that's

143
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 6: true to some degree, but you still need to be

144
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 6: able to You can't just do what the other team,

145
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 6: you know, is expecting you to do and expect to win.

146
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 6: You cannot out talent. But if you're doing that, you're

147
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 6: expecting your team to out talent the other team. That's

148
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 6: not possible every week. You can't out talent the other team.

149
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 6: You have to you have to scheme them up as well.

150
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 6: So I understand what you're asking about the simplification, and

151
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 6: and you can probably simplify it and still do some

152
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 6: different things. So I don't know the answer to that.

153
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 6: I just know that you know, for this game it worked.

154
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 6: They overwhelmed them.

155
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: Well, the reason I am saying that is that it

156
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: seemed to me like there were way less substitutions on

157
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: defense yesterday, and you saw Peyton Wilson catch a groove

158
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: and have his best.

159
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: Game of the year yesterday, phenomenal.

160
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: And because Hei Smith, because of the Hulcomb injury, you know,

161
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: you only had so much flexibility. Harrison comes in and

162
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: then they play almost like a four to three with

163
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: the three inside linebackers all right, keeping the continuity is

164
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: what I'm referring to as simple, and I think it

165
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: enabled these guys to catch a groove. And you know,

166
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: I don't underplay the the importance of rhythm on defense,

167
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: and I think what they had been doing a lot

168
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: this year is maybe too much getting a little too

169
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: cute and knocking themselves out of the ability to catch

170
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: that rhythm.

171
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: That's possible. I mean, it is possible, you know. I

172
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: think also, how.

173
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 5: Many sacks do they have yesterday?

174
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: Five?

175
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 8: Five?

176
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 3: Five sacks and six turnovers? Is a monster defensive day? Yeah,

177
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: and I monster. Now it can't be the formula for success, right,

178
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: you know you need to be the Patriots game.

179
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: You can't. Yeah, you can't expect that. You can't expect

180
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: that to happen every week.

181
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 6: I do think that at some point maybe you look

182
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 6: around and say, okay, well who are our best eleven?

183
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 6: And I have not seen this snap counts, so I

184
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 6: don't know where Derek Harmon and Keanu Benton were. I

185
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 6: thought Kanu Benton played another great game.

186
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: Here was the one of Keanu's specials, showing back to passing.

187
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: Keanu bent with a sack back inside the twenty yard

188
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: line and a fist pumping.

189
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: This crowd is roaring and act for sure.

190
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 6: He was so good, so good, you know, and he's

191
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 6: got a new career high in sacks already.

192
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: So I mean, if I'm looking at the team with.

193
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 6: Everybody hurt right and everybody that's not there and Deshaun

194
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 6: Elliott out and I don't again, I didn't see I

195
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 6: didn't see the God, bless you.

196
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: Thank you if I don't know what was. But I

197
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: just don't feel like.

198
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 6: I know we're on the air, but that can't pass

199
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 6: without it without a These people don't care about me.

200
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: Really, you came through care with a blessing.

201
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 6: So where we Oh yeah, so a defensive personnel. You know,

202
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 6: I think that you. I think that you know Deshaun Ellie,

203
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 6: Deshaun I listen.

204
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: I can't.

205
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 6: I don't know how many times I can say it.

206
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 6: I think the world is Shawn Elly dis player. I

207
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 6: think he's just a terrific player.

208
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 3: You know.

209
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 6: I was talking to the guys from Baltimore. The said

210
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 6: he was a good player for us, he's better for you.

211
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 6: I mean, he's just been he's just been fantastic.

212
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: Leader and hilarious, hilarious on social media.

213
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, good.

214
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's he's good stuff all the way out, you know,

215
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 6: so you take him out of the equation, Well, now

216
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 6: you're taking out, you know, a really really good player

217
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 6: and other guys that have been injured and nicked up,

218
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 6: and you know, at some point maybe it's you know,

219
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 6: and I know you want to match up and you

220
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 6: want to get different personnel groupings out there, but maybe

221
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 6: with everybody out this was as simple as man, who's

222
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 6: our best twelve thirteen players? You know, forget that. Let's

223
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 6: just get him out there as much as we possibly can.

224
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 6: You know, I do know this. I think Derek Harmon's

225
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 6: a really good player. You know, Cameron Hayward's are really

226
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 6: good player. Keanum Benton's a really good player. Those guys

227
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 6: being out there a lot that makes me happy when

228
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 6: I see those three guys.

229
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: When I see three guys with.

230
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 6: Their hand in the dirt, I'm like, yeah, I like that,

231
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 6: you know, because they'll just and I don't you know,

232
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 6: obvious passing situations or whatever. They could push the pocket

233
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 6: back and I listen. I think any quarterback would tell

234
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 6: you that they you know, we we always pay attention

235
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 6: to those edge guys, and with good reason. Because they

236
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 6: you know, they're they're out there and they're supplying the pressure.

237
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 6: No quarterback wants a pocket pushed back in their face.

238
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 6: You can't step up and throw. So those I love those,

239
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 6: and I didn't like I said, I haven't seen the snapcounts,

240
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 6: but those guys pushing the pocket back. I thought Cam

241
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 6: was really good. I thought Harmon was really good. I

242
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 6: thought Benton was really good. You know, again, maybe this

243
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 6: was just a case of listen, we've got to throw

244
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 6: our best out there because we got.

245
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: We have so many injuries and illnesses and other things

246
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: on the team.

247
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 5: I think on that side of the ball, that is appropriate.

248
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 5: I think it's the Joe Flacco effect. He comes to Cincinnati,

249
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 5: they have the best players in the world on the

250
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 5: offensive side of the ball. He doesn't even know the

251
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 5: plays and in three weeks they've scored one hundred and

252
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 5: thirteen points. So oversimplification is it only works if you

253
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 5: have the horses on that side of the ball, and

254
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 5: on the defensive side of the ball, they have better

255
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 5: players on that side of the ball.

256
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really like their I mean, I like the

257
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: personnel they have on defense.

258
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 8: I really do.

259
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 6: By the way, has any team this is a calling

260
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 6: Matt Williamson calling Matt Williams. Has any team ever scored

261
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 6: eighty points in back to back games and lost them both?

262
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 5: No, they since the sixties. That's out there, Okay.

263
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: I was wondering about that.

264
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 6: I'm like, man, is that could Maybe that's never happened,

265
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 6: but it has happened, lost them both. That's incredible. You know,

266
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 6: in a couple of weeks are going to come here

267
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 6: and they're going to score points. Probably right, you better

268
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 6: get that offense fired up and ready to go. The

269
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 6: other thing too, I think that that has not played

270
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 6: in the defense's favor and which eventually has got to

271
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 6: be figured out. I think on this team is time

272
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 6: of possession. Now, look, the Colts don't win the time

273
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 6: of possession either. They're they're not.

274
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: A good time top.

275
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 6: They didntes yesterday, but they're so good. They're so explosive offensively.

276
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 6: You know, it's your defense doesn't have to do huge

277
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 6: amounts of things. Well, I think that it would behoove

278
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 6: this the other's defense. You know, if you want to

279
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 6: shorten your bench, so to speak, if you want to

280
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 6: have your best players out there, they need to be

281
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 6: out there less and that's that's twofold. They have to

282
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 6: force more three and outs, which they haven't done, and

283
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 6: the offense has got to give them more breaks, which

284
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 6: it hasn't done. I think to truly unlock the best

285
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 6: of what this defense can do week in and week out.

286
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 6: I mean, we saw yesterday the best they can do.

287
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 6: We saw New England the best they can do. But

288
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 6: week in week out it's a little I think you

289
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 6: got to start pushing that time of possession over thirty minutes.

321
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: the Voice of the Steelers, getting set for the West

322
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: Coast trip to take on Justin Herbert and the Chargers

323
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 3: Sunday Night Football Primetime after a surprise victory over the Colts.

324
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 3: And I say surprise because I don't think anybody saw

325
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 3: the defensive effort that they got, Mike, if we were

326
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: gonna win, it was gonna be forty eight to forty seven.

327
00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 8: Or forty seven minutes a time of possession something. Yeah. Yeah.

328
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 8: I thought if they had any chance, it would take

329
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 8: something really out of character, and instead they just kind

330
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 8: of played it straight up and played better than the

331
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 8: Colts did sports well.

332
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 5: I mean, it was incredibly out of character for the Colts,

333
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 5: just as far as like how well they've done protecting

334
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 5: Danny Dimes and the ball.

335
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 8: But it wasn't a gimmick defense or a crazy strategy

336
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 8: or no some sort of completely They weren't Rocky. He

337
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 8: didn't switch the fighting right handed or anything.

338
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 9: You know.

339
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 8: They just kind of went out there and said, I

340
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 8: let's go sports that are brought to you by Bridgeville Pliants.

341
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 8: A lot of splash on defense, and that is the

342
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 8: headline generating development from Steelers twenty seven Colts twenty But

343
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 8: it really, first and foremost came down to the basics,

344
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 8: stop the run. That's the Steelers' goal every week on defense.

345
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 8: Sometimes they do it, sometimes they don't. Yesterday they did

346
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 8: it against an MVP candidate running back in Jonathan Taylor

347
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 8: that was lost on Mike Tomlin.

348
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 4: I can't say enough about the defensive effort to minimize

349
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 4: the runner. I don't think you slowed that group down

350
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 4: unless you minimize the runner. And we were able to

351
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: do that, and I think that's why we were able

352
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 4: to get him in some one dimensional circumstances, create some pressure,

353
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 4: get some sacks, and the turnovers that go along with that.

354
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 4: But it started with minimizing their dynamic runner, and he

355
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 4: is that. He's dynamic and.

356
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: Kitner you pointed it out.

357
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: The turnovers that they capitalized on put them in a

358
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: position where they were going to be able to stop

359
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: him because they needed to move the ball and score.

360
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, once you got the lead, and then you kind

361
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 6: of minimize what he was able to do.

362
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: He's a great player.

363
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 6: I mean, he's just a he's you know, and luckily

364
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 6: we didn't see him at his best. If you ever

365
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 6: get a chance to watch him in another game and

366
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 6: see him at his best, he's he's phenomenal to watch.

367
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: He's he's really incredible. He's been healthy.

368
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 6: He was an MVP front runner, but I don't know

369
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 6: if he's a MVP front runner anymore.

370
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: I changed, Yeah, that might have that might have knocked

371
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: him that way. If it's not him, who's who is

372
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: it going to be? Right now? Who's your front runner?

373
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 8: Right now?

374
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: Baker still of mold.

375
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 5: Dude, you see me play in the last couple of weeks.

376
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 8: I don't know.

377
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: He kind of choked it yesterday, so I don't know

378
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: who's true.

379
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes, you couldn't come on wrong dude with you.

380
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 5: I got it. I die there you go now, I got.

381
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 11: It, Patrick Mahomes Drake May just last Sunday against Tennessee,

382
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 11: Taylor had twelve carries for one hundred and fifty three yards,

383
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 11: two rushing touchdowns.

384
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 8: He averaged twelve point eight per carry. He also had

385
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 8: a receiving touchdown, which was really a nineteen yard rushing

386
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 8: touchdown because it was just one of those in the

387
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 8: backfield push passes, almost looking forward hand off. Yesterday, fourteen

388
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 8: carries for forty five yards, no touchdowns, three point two

389
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 8: per attempt, and h once they got him taken care

390
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 8: of the rest of it kind of took care of itself.

391
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 12: I think we just came out and we did what

392
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 12: we know we can do this this week. Came out

393
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 12: and we obviously we stopped the run and that's where

394
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 12: it starts. And then our culture came alive. You know,

395
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 12: we had five turnovers I think sixth So I think

396
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 12: when we do that, man, we're we're an amazing defense.

397
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 12: And so we just got to put more performances like

398
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 12: that together. And I'm confident that we're going to continue

399
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 12: to stack this and play like this every week from

400
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 12: here on now.

401
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: So we just got to compete to play like that.

402
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: Our culture came alive.

403
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 8: I love that. No, you know, they have those Turnover

404
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 8: Culture t shirts and they give out different colors for

405
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 8: how many you get and all that stuff. I don't

406
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 8: know if they're gonna play like this each in every week,

407
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 8: but definite step in the right direction. I'm I'm convinced

408
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 8: this may be too strong a word, but leaning heavily

409
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 8: to using fewer players in the secondary, even when they're healthy.

410
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 8: Lease and Ramsey's got to play free safety. I know he's.

411
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 8: I know he's for the time being being like the

412
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 8: rest of the year. Eccles is a good slot. It's

413
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 8: not great, but he's good. And I'd rather have stuff

414
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 8: not breaking down miserably on the back end than if

415
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 8: I got to give up a little Ramsey around the

416
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 8: ball rushing off the slot. So be it. They got

417
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 8: other guys that can rush.

418
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 5: I just I agree, especially with the amount of splash

419
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 5: they've given up deep in the middle of the field.

420
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 8: Just can't have him. Hats off to Kyle Duggar, did

421
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 8: his job. You know, when Elliott comes back. Elliott comes back,

422
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 8: But in the meantime he looks like he can handle that.

423
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 8: And then that The lingering question to me is is

424
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 8: Darius Slay still a starting quarterback moving forward? Either because

425
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 8: of health or ineffectiveness.

426
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: I means, how many times you see him like flailing

427
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: at a ball over his head?

428
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 8: Well, he saw one Thornhill do that against Green Bay

429
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 8: and then you didn't see him no more.

430
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, no more wildcat.

431
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: Kind of along those lines. I mean, that's self preservation.

432
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 3: At some point, having Corey Trice back would make that

433
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 3: way easier. Yeah, Well, is he done for like his career?

434
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 3: How did he come back off the injured list?

435
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 8: He's not been off the injured list. He's in the window,

436
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 8: the twenty one day window. And he suffered an injury

437
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 8: last week and knee injury. I don't know this. He

438
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 8: was limited in practice because of the knee. I don't

439
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 8: think his leg's gonna get amputated or anything, but it's

440
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 8: another nagging failing of his health which seems to happen constantly.

441
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 8: The boat benett oft.

442
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 3: But did he even have one more than one practice

443
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: before he got hurt?

444
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 8: It was a second.

445
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 3: And now because he's in the window, he has to

446
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 3: be healthy in time because of the first injury.

447
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 8: Well, they started. Once you start the twenty.

448
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: One day window, right, you have twenty one days to

449
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: get healthy, right.

450
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 8: You have to be activated at the end of that

451
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 8: window or you're done for the year.

452
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 3: And the knee injury may keep him from being activated

453
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 3: that I don't know. They can't designate it as a

454
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 3: separate injury.

455
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 8: I don't know anything about the knee injury. I think

456
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 8: I read that well. Probably really a lot of stuff

457
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 8: that's I believe correct.

458
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 5: Is there any chance that they trade Sleigh because last

459
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 5: week we had talked about him not practicing for personal reasons.

460
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 5: Maybe a quiet benching, maybe impossible, like shelving him until

461
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 5: they con dish him.

462
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, that got my attention, and I think he would

463
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 8: be tradeable. The Ravens just traded Jayi Alexander, who can't

464
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 8: stay healthy and can't play anymore. It's a corner start leg.

465
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 8: But do the Steelers have a better option? If you

466
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 8: play Eckles out there, then who's your who's.

467
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 3: Your slots at Coles? I don't know who your slot

468
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 3: is because.

469
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 8: If you move Rams off of free safety, now you

470
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 8: got your back to the don't have a free safety thing.

471
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 5: Call him Beanie Bishop back up.

472
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 8: I don't trust him, but it seems like they went

473
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 8: tiny Bishop seemed like the teeny Bishop out of the way,

474
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 8: maybe not to have Beanie be the nickel. Like they

475
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 8: got all these guys who could play nickel instead of Beanie,

476
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 8: but they didn't get enough free safe without Minka. So

477
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 8: I think Ramsey's the natural you know, you know he

478
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 8: can be a deterrent back there, not necessarily the playmaker,

479
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 8: but that helps too, right, I.

480
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 5: Mean missing on Thornhill hurts big.

481
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, So they still got some stuff to work out.

482
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 8: We'll see if they can work it out. A couple

483
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 8: notes on the Chargers, your next opponent. They beat the

484
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 8: Titans yesterday twenty seven to twenty. They did so despite

485
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 8: giving up a twenty four yard pick six and a

486
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 8: sixty seven yard punt return for a touchdown. Tennessee also

487
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 8: had six sacks. Left tackle Joe Alt left the game

488
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 8: in the second quarter with an ankle injury. This is

489
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 8: a big, big.

490
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 5: Deal to like to have lt All.

491
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 8: He missed three games in the middle of the season

492
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 8: and Arger's lost two of them. Oh, that's huge to

493
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 8: Washington and to Indianapolis.

494
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: I will take it.

495
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 8: We're season they're having uh Justin Herbert was leading the

496
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 8: league in passing a couple of weeks ago. I don't

497
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 8: know if he still is or not, but uh hardball

498
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 8: wants to run the ball, and even though he's out

499
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 8: of running backs, he still wants to run the ball.

500
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 8: And they've been running it effectively. Yeah, Steelers now all

501
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 8: of a sudden, Hardball also wants to uh illegally tape

502
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 8: the other teams and steal their signals.

503
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 6: But they're not caught doing that once. They're not a

504
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 6: Kamani Videll. They'll get Hampton back eventually. But if you

505
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 6: remember daydra Shaan Slater got hurt, they signed into a

506
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 6: massive contract and like the next day he got hurt.

507
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 8: I think I'd rather have a corps videl.

508
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 5: I think he's dead.

509
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: He's dead.

510
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 5: Nagy hurt yep.

511
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 8: Rest of the year.

512
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 6: Hampton back, not back for a couple more days. That's

513
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 6: why I think that's part. You know, they still have

514
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 6: a very good receiving corps. Gadsdon looks like he's been

515
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 6: a real fine to tight end for them, and rookie

516
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 6: at his Syracuse I believe three good receivers could.

517
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 8: Call out of Syracuse. Uh, that's gonna be steel A crowd,

518
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 8: I think after the win yesterday work for me. It

519
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 8: might have been anyway, but sorry, And it will probably

520
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 8: be the type of Steeler crowd that just shows up

521
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 8: to cheer for the Steelers because it'll get to do

522
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 8: it every day. Yeah, it might not be the type

523
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 8: of crowd like yesterday's just shows up.

524
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 5: Just waiting, go ahead, piss me off one time. You know,

525
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 5: you don't think there'll be a funeral for the defense

526
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 5: and the parking lot of SOFI.

527
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 8: I don't even that's funny. Yeah, but the boy that

528
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 8: vibe in the stadium, man, he'd been there that you

529
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 8: didn't go yesterday, Bill, No, I didn't.

530
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 5: I mean I felt the vibe around the stadium. It

531
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 5: was a tailgate that it felt like ominous.

532
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 3: You could smell it almost like it was like, man, dude,

533
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: it was acrid.

534
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's acrid.

535
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, ties in line with my smelling an analogy. Yeah, yes, yeah,

536
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 8: it was weird and it turned quick back. I mean

537
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 8: once they started winning day.

538
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 5: I mean, they go, they start the game going three

539
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 5: and out twice, and then they can't capitalize.

540
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: Taking the muff punt, give up a fake punt.

541
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 8: Let's just start the game three and out, but take

542
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 8: the ball.

543
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 5: Okay, so you start the game three like really, I just.

544
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 13: Want to I just want to point out that everyone's

545
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 13: feeling a little bit better about your Steelers right now,

546
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 13: and maybe take a little walk with me and imagine

547
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 13: that you have the football team that you saw last

548
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 13: night guaranteed to play that way going forward.

549
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,479
Speaker 1: Chargers Sunday night. You're scared.

550
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 8: Non play like that every game, I'm saying, playing like

551
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 8: that every game.

552
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 5: Charge scared anybody.

553
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: Bengals November sixteenth, Bengals at Akroture, scared of them?

554
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 8: No, a little bit.

555
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: The Bears November twenty third.

556
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 5: Listen, this is what you do, and it's kind of

557
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 5: a mistake.

558
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: The Bills, the Bills. I'm scared of the Bills. Ravens

559
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: uh huh. I mean, I don't know.

560
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 8: Did you see any of the Bills Chiefs game? Yeah, yeah,

561
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 8: they're not a pass right, and they were in the

562
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 8: home everybody down.

563
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: I thought we're going Vince Giraldi there. At first, who

564
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: was that.

565
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 5: Clark Griswold at that hotel bar.

566
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 3: I wanted something that was a little, uh like more

567
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: girl from e Banima, But that popped out.

568
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,919

Speaker 8: You know what.

571
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 5: Fine, you know when Clark put on his white shoes

572
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 5: for the first time and went down to the bar,

573
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 5: That's that's kind of how I felt. I'm ready for anything,

00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: I am still nervous about.

576
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 9: I am still nervous about the Bengals because Joe Flacco

577
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 9: still put up for seventy yesterday they lost.

578
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,240

Speaker 5: he's been there.

580
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: How about if you're the Browns, you're just like, look at.

Speaker 3: mine drove me down to the game and we left late,

587
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, dude, we are gonna hit traffic.

588
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 3: Did you none? And I was like, oh, spaghetti O,

589
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 3: why because that means people aren't down their party in.

590
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 3: I thought there's gonna be five thousand no shows.

591
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: There were. There were some no shows, not many.

592
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 3: I mean, the attendance doesn't always reflect how many people

593
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: actually go in. Right, Okay, sixty six, six hundred and

594
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 3: sixty seven. We were one person away from doing six

595
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 3: six six six.

596
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: But that's pretty good.

597
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 5: About that performance. Though from the Chef boy Ar defense.

598
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: Bill, there was like the parking lots no vibe.

599
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: Like the pregame felt like Mike said, people were coming

600
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 3: not to celebrate. Oh we come, Yeah, we come not

601
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 3: to celebrate you, Caesar, but to bury you.

602
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: Well, there was a funeral for the defense.

603
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 3: I actually hope the players saw that, and I wonder if,

604
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: like they knew the Stealer fans were pissed that. I'm

605
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 3: up two minds with that, Like, on one hand, I

606
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 3: think it was funny just all the stuff they did,

607
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 3: but also like, come.

608
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 5: On, man, I mean I was I was looking for

609
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 5: an angle at the tailgate at the end, and I

610
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 5: came out there and I said, hey, I see a

611
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 5: lot of Colts fans here, and all the Steelers fans

612
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 5: booed them, and I said, you've had a really nice season,

613
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 5: but it all stops today. And everyone went crazy, and

614
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 5: I go, and I know what you guys are thinking,

615
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 5: how can you be this confident? Well I'm not. It's

616
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 5: called manifesting. That's when you talk something into existence that

617
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 5: you haven't seen before. So if you're thinking that you're

618
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 5: going to throw the ball twenty three times to your

619
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 5: star receiver and he's gonna catch at sixteen of those

620
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 5: times and the sixteenth time he's gonna be wide open,

621
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 5: well I can see how you'd think that, actually, because

622
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 5: that has happened, but not today.

623
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 3: Steelers twenty seven Colts twenty more with Rob King when

624
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: we returned.

00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, your radio home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

629
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: Why on two point five dve Rob King with us

630
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 3: in a power hour of Steeler Talk and the twenty

631
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 3: seven to twenty victory giving new life to the twenty

632
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: five Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike Tomlin has his seat cooled

633
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 3: down considerably. Which twenty five has new life? Well, I'll

634
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 3: enumerate them later. Twenty twenty five Steelers, I meant, but oh, Mike,

635
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 3: both Austin and Tomlin sea cooled down considerably because a

636
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: great bounce back from a couple of weeks in which

637
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 3: the defense was the joke of the NFL rob And

638
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 3: there's no I don't think I can take away too

639
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 3: much from the offense yesterday because how much of it

640
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 3: was geared around responding to these turnovers.

641
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: In short fields.

642
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 3: They did convert it, I don't know how much of

643
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 3: a game plan they were able to execute offensively, because

644
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: circumstantially they were in score now mode.

645
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: Like where was their longest drive yesterday? I don't know.

646
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 6: I think it was it the one before the turnover

647
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 6: in the fire with two point fireman touchdown.

648
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: It might have been. I probably have it here, the

649
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: one before that. Yeah, let me look up the drive chart.

650
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 7: But to your point, they were playing on a short

651
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 7: field all day. Yeah, you know they only had two

652
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 7: hundred and twenty five yards offense or something like that.

653
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: Well, they you know, they do a really good job

654
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: and scored twenty seven points of playing to win that game,

655
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 3: like having some adaptability.

656
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 6: They're not just like look at the Cincinnati Bengals. They're

657
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 6: just going to come out and score scores, scores, scores,

658
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 6: scort scores, scorres the only way they can win. They

659
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 6: can't win any other way. They're one and two trying

660
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 6: to do that. Unfortunately one came against the Steelers. But

661
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 6: you know, when you when you look back at you know,

662
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 6: this mess so so and again, I'm not trying to

663
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 6: rewrite history. I'm just trying to say, this is a weird.

664
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 6: This is so Thursday night, Right, you go out on

665
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 6: the road. Cincinnati's been doing this everybody now, right, plus

666
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 6: short week on the road, division opponents never good thing, right,

667
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 6: And then I still go back to this.

668
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: I was still thinking they were leading the Packers.

669
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 6: I mean, it's hard to remember when you were walking back,

670
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 6: you know, feet drag into our cars late Sunday night,

671
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 6: like you know, feeling like the Steelers just got blown out.

672
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: If the Steelers had taken I know, if.

673
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 6: Ifs and butts blah blah blah, but the Steelers take me,

674
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 6: if they take this second they opening drive in the

675
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 6: second half and march it down the field and score touchdown.

676
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: It's twenty three seven. That game is over. It's over.

677
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 6: That didn't happen, so I I you know, every game's

678
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 6: got two or three plays that happened here or there.

679
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: The longest drive was fifty six yards.

680
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was the one before they got to turnover

681
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 6: and the firemanth's touchdown. I don't know, but I mean,

682
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 6: look around the NFL, what do you make of any team?

683
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 6: I'm finally like, okay, the Lions are good. Then they

684
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 6: lose to the Vikings at home, and then I'm like, well, okay,

685
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 6: the Chiefs are they Look, I know that scores at

686
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 6: seven points.

687
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 3: I did not think this was not a seven point game.

688
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 3: They make that field goal and there's nothing to worry

689
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: about at the engine, right, Well, it's it's a weird year, man.

690
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 6: Just you know, like they say in the NCAA tournament,

691
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 6: survive in advance, survive in advance, and I and it's

692
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 6: that's always true. But this year, I just I every week,

693
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 6: I'm like, who's good? I don't know, I don't know

694
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 6: who the elite teams are?

695
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: Well, and Green Bay losing right, Carolina look dead in

696
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,800

00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 6: in America.

704
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: I actually says that.

705
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 5: Would be like, did you just say I'm not during

706
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 5: the broadcast?

707
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 8: I don't know if I said.

708
00:32:59,800 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 3: No.

709
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: Really, that's actually a cornerback for Jalen Smith.

710
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 5: Have you ever dropped Heavens to Betsy on on a broadcast?

711
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: No, I don't think I've ever maybe even dropped that

712
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: in real life.

713
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 5: Really, yeah, well maybe you need to start.

714
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: All right, So now you get a pretty feel good

715
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 3: effort for the defense to hang their hat on. Like

716
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 3: Peyton Wilson said after the game, we can go home

717
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 3: and enjoy Sunday night now and not sit there obsessing

718
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 3: over what went wrong and then focus on the Chargers

719
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: for next week.

720
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 8: That Joe allt injury looms large mic proceuge for them.

721
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 8: It's a big deal. But you know, everybody's got to

722
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 8: deal with that kind of stuff. They're banged up.

723
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: And that's again too. So we talk about the Steelers

724
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: and the injuries. No sympathy the Colts.

725
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 6: By the way, look man, their top three corners from

726
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 6: the beginning of the season, we're all gone. They got

727
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 6: one back yesterday and Jalen Jones, but you know, one

728
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 6: of their starting linebackers out.

729
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: I don't have any sympathy for the Steelers. You're down

730
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: to and the and the Steeler shouldn't have any sympathy

731
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: for the Chargers. You know, you got to find a

732
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: way to win.

733
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 6: Me you got injuries, you got to find a way

734
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,040

735
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 6: that's a big injury, but you gotta find a way

736
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 6: to win.

737
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: You can't.

738
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 6: Wow, we're injured. So we're gonna no, you can't. And

739
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 6: they responded and they won the game.

740
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 3: So we'll leave with this one was yesterday a bigger

741
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: win for the players or the coaches.

742
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: For the Steelers.

743
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 6: Oh, for the players, I don't know. I mean, you know, listen,

744
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 6: the Steelers are about stability. I don't know whether any

745
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 6: coaches are in trouble or not.

746
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: In trouble.

747
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 3: You got, don't. I'm not even talking about for job security.

748
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: I'm just talking about for confidence going forward.

749
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 5: Some of the national noise, some of the local noise.

750
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: And even performance Bill, you know.

751
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 8: Like Randy to your point, if they last week after

752
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 8: the Packers game, the question to Mike Tomblin was are

753
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 8: you gonna fire troll Austin? If they would have crappy performance,

754
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 8: the question would have been, why are you not firing Terri?

755
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 1: Right?

756
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 5: I think it was, and his answer was telling, right,

757
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 5: I don't think.

758
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 8: Those guys like I don't think Toalvim feels the hot seat.

759
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 8: I really don't know the fans are thinking how they're thinking.

760
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 8: But that was a big game for the coaches. Yeah,

761
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 8: I mean, Plus, you don't want to get in that

762
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 8: Canada situation where there's just a tsunamiti in, a tsunami

763
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 8: of negativity cascading down and it makes it harder to

764
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 8: do anything positive. It just it just does.

765
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 5: And it's not just the fans. It was national media

766
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 5: and there were several different and analysts this whole week

767
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 5: leading up to this game saying that this is the

768
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 5: worst Steelers defense they've ever seen.

769
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 8: And you ask these guys about it, Oh, I don't

770
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 8: pay an attention to the media. Then you have a

771
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 8: game like yesterday and you hear Rogers talk about the defense.

772
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 8: Oh they were getting crushed. They really responded.

773
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 5: They all know I.

774
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: Don't pay attention to social six seven anyways. But you

775
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 1: know what, all those thirty point games that they've given up,

776
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: I mean that that can't happen, you know.

777
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 6: So that's what's going to happen. Right, that's more of

778
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 6: the business. You give up thirty plus points. I mean

779
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 6: they had that run, remember that three game roam where

780
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 6: they allowed fourteen point seven points per game, right, and

781
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 6: they won three games in a row.

782
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: And we're like, there's the defense.

808
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 15: The Steelers defense paved the way to the team's twenty

809
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 15: seven to twenty victory over the Indianapolis Colts in their

810
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 15: number one offense Sunday afternoon at Akroser Stadium. The defense

811
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 15: was all over Colts quarterback Daniel Jones, sacking him five times,

812
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 15: hitting him six more times, and picking him off three times.

813
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 5: The Steelers got off to a slow.

814
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 15: Start in the game, and the Colts had a seven

815
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 15: to nothing lead and were driving in the second quarter,

816
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 15: threatening to add on, but then TJ. Watts struck to

817
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 15: provide the jolt that the team needed, strip sacking Daniel

818
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 15: Jones and recovering the fumble. The Steelers offense would capitalize

819
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 15: on the ensuing drive to tie the game, and the

820
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 15: team got rolling from there. Inside linebacker Payton Wilson had

821
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 15: a monster day on that Steelers defense, racking up fourteen

822
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 15: total tackles, which not only led the Steelers what was

823
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 15: the most in the entire game, and he picked off

824
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 15: Daniel Jones for one of the three interceptions thrown by

825
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 15: Jones on the day. Outside linebacker Jack Sawyer and cornerback

826
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 15: Joey Porter Junior were the recipients of the other two

827
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 15: Jones picks, both of those gentlemen's first of the season

828
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 15: and Sawyer's first interception of his career. The splash plays

829
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 15: returning to the Steelers defense and limiting the NFL's leading rusher,

830
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 15: Jonathan Taylor to just forty five yards on fourteen carries,

831
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 15: were the main factors in the Steelers victory and improving

832
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 15: to five and three on the season. I'm Tom Opferman
