1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,679 Speaker 1: That Michigan coaching story. It's rotten. 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 2: Part of me says that Michigan shouldn't care whohich coach 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 2: is banging. But I guess it got ugly. You gotta 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 2: sell charges. He's banging his assistant. You can't defecate where 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: you eat. But the funny part, and there's not much 6 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 2: funny about this, but on ESPN, on Get Up, they 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: wanted Michigan to steal Matt Campbell from Penn State and 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: the ink's not even dry on Campbell's contract. 9 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: With Creepy Valley. 10 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 2: Sports is a dirty business, a dirty business, and college 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: football is the dirtiest part of it. That number again 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: to call eight three three four one two w XDX. 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: The Penguins host Montreal tonight. I almost hope the Penguins 14 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: trail in the third period because I'd feel better about 15 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: them coming back than I would about them holding a lead. 16 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: Jari's going to be in goal, Malcot and Riquel still 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: out in the third period. If the score is tied, 18 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: the Penguins need to be more aggressive and try to 19 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 2: win in sixty minutes because you can't go to three 20 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: on three and maybe a shootout when you know you're 21 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: gonna lose. Either that or you got to find a 22 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 2: way to be better at three on three and shootouts, 23 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: because does anybody believe the Penguins are gonna make the 24 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: playoffs by a comfortable margin? 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: I don't. I know that's not the case. 26 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: Every point counts oh and five in shootout is a disaster. 27 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 2: Oh and six after sixty minutes is a disaster and 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: will probably be why they don't make the playoffs. And 29 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 2: you can't let a sequence happen like Kyle Anaheim tied 30 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: the game Tuesday and an order of the Penguins think 31 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: they fed up or if it was just a series 32 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: of bad bomss. 33 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: Take it from me, dudes, you eft up. 34 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: Here's a topic from yesterday based on a Joey Porter 35 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: senior SoundBite we played. Do you get mad at ex 36 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 2: Steelers for criticizing the current team? 37 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: I do not. 38 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: I loved what Ben just said that SoundBite we played 39 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: from his podcast, And here's what I saw on ESPN. 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: Steeler fans, you get. 41 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: Mad when they lose, but all it takes to turn 42 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: those fronds upside down is a win. Any win, like 43 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: Sunday you beat Baltimore. Well, the Ravens lost that game 44 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 2: more than the Steelers won it. But the Steelers do 45 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 2: lead the division. But in Philadelphia, where the Eagles won 46 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl just last year, and they're eight and 47 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: five and they lead their division, the fans call the 48 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: talk shows and want a new quarterback. 49 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: They want Jalen Hurts to be. 50 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 2: Benched, traded, released, shot, pushed on a flight of steps. 51 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: He is the scapegoat there. 52 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: Part of me says that's nuts, but part of me 53 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: likes great expectations, even if they are horribly misplaced because Hurts, 54 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: like I said, he just won a super Bowl last year, 55 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: and I think he's generally done a very good job 56 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: as their quarterback. I talked about my Steelers' MVPs on 57 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: each side of the ball yesterday, and it was inconclusive 58 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: down the dial. They picked the running backs Warren and gainwell. 59 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: After seventeen carries for thirty four yards against Baltimore, I'm 60 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: not sure this team has a guy you can call 61 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: valuable unquote. I'm not sure their record would be any 62 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: different if any one guy got hurt. And as I've 63 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: said repeatedly, I am thoroughly amazed that they are seven 64 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: and six. I mean, what looks like he couldna play 65 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: on Monday night with his lung problem. 66 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: Hope he's okay. 67 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: And by the way, somebody on Twitter said, when I 68 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: said that Watt's health is the primary concern, somebody tweeted, 69 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: you don't care, don't say that. Oh you're right, I don't. 70 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: I mean, but I don't want him to be ill 71 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: in a fashion that a lung disorder might indicate, because frankly, 72 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 2: that's what's killed a whole lot of my relatives, including 73 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: my mother. So I'm certainly not rooting for that. But 74 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 2: will I lose sleep because TJ spend a day in hospital. 75 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: No, I won't. 76 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: But I hope he's okay. I hope everyone's okay. I 77 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: hope everyone's health can be as good as mine. Anyway, 78 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: I would assume no what Monday night. But I think 79 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: they'll be all right at Edge Rusher, what with her 80 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: big getting more snaps by any means necessary, high Smith, 81 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: assuming he's healthy, which is always up for grabs, and 82 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: of course the modern day warrior Jack Sawyer. 83 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: They'll be okay. 84 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: But it goes back to the point I just made 85 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: that the Steelers don't have any one player you could 86 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 2: really consider to be valuable. Again, to say it for 87 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: the million time. I'm amazed they're seven and six. I mean, 88 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 2: my god, they're done to their four string left tackle 89 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: and you really can't tell the difference because they all 90 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: know very good. Then number again eight three to three, 91 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 2: four one two WXDX. I am just so over the 92 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: moon about the Philip Rivers thing. Looks like he's gonna 93 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: start for Indianapolis. What a time we live in Philip 94 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: Rivers starting Kenny Pickett's starting Shador Sanders played a great game. 95 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: And like I said, just a moment ago in Philadelphia, 96 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts won a Super Bowl, but they wont him out. Uh. 97 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: The big time quarterback draft for next April in Pittsburgh 98 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 2: that's falling apart. Only one maybe two quarterbacks projected now 99 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 2: to go in the first Tron. And while I loathe 100 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: the idea of talking about the Steeler draft now, I 101 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: will say that I wonder now if phill feel obligated 102 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: to take a quarterback and that could lead to Will 103 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: Howard getting a shot. I don't think so, but you do. 104 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: I heard Ray filde Paulo make a real good point 105 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: about Will Howard. He said that if the Steelers do 106 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: like Howard. They would want to see him actually take 107 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: snaps and exhibition gays before they would do anything like 108 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 2: remotely make a commitment to him. 109 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: So maybe next year he gets in the mix more. 110 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: But I would think that's the most he could realistically 111 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: hope for, And honestly, as a six dron pick, I 112 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: don't even think he should realistically be accorded that. But 113 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: the Philip Rivers thing got a couple chins in a 114 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: fat ass. He's already my favorite quarterback of all time. 115 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: Let's go to big Z. 116 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: Big Z. You're all with Mark Hey? 117 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: Now, doublem Hey Now? 118 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, So I wanted to talk about first of all. 119 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 4: With the ESPN saying I was thinking, you know, I mean. 120 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: For me, But I guess now that I'm thinking about 121 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 3: that loud. Dick Schaff was not Ah what was not. 122 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: He was a host of the Sports Reporters. He was 123 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: not an anchor. 124 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great show though, love that show. 125 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 4: He was fantastic. 126 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: Dick Shaff was one of the pre eminent sports media 127 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: personalities of all time. 128 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: Did you ever I remember Long Cook appeared on that show. 129 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: Did you ever get invited or did you ever consider 130 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 3: going on that show? 131 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: No, nobody invites me on their show anymore. Bro, think 132 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: about this. I see everybody else in Pittsburgh being on 133 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: every show everywhere else but me, and I don't know 134 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: why that is. 135 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I'm two quote unquote contract, but I 136 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: don't care. 137 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 3: Bro. 138 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: Like people ask me if I missed the Sunday night 139 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: local TV shows, they pay bupkus and it waste your 140 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: Sunday night. I'm perfectly content with my careers at now. 141 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: Thanks to everybody very much. Let's go to Dan. Dan, 142 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: you're all with Mark. 143 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, two things. One about the Steelers and the 144 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: fans taking any kind of win. I agree with you, 145 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: and to be honest with you even and. 146 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: That's okay, that's what makes the fans Dan, I. 147 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: And I get that. 148 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 5: But at the same time, if we're thinking big picture, 149 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 5: I mean, obviously I'm happier when they win, but at 150 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 5: the same time, even watching them when they're winning is like, 151 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 5: I don't know, I thought it was something wrong with me, 152 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 5: and I'm certain there is, but also it just like 153 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 5: is discussed thing and uncomfortable to watch them act. 154 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: Well, they're totally well, no, forget forget about that part. 155 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: They're totally unentertaining to watch. 156 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: There's nothing fun about watching the Steelers except if they 157 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: do win seven and six. I can't believe they won 158 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: seven games. It feels like fools gold. The win against 159 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 2: Baltimore felt like Foyle's gold. Everything nearly. I mean, tell 160 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: me a win this year that's been convincing, really convincing. 161 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 5: Nope, exactly, nope. 162 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know there's one, but I can't think 163 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: about it. I can't. I can't think it was. 164 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 5: And they say that, you know, Tomlin hasn't had a 165 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 5: losing season, but how many actually quote winning seasons has 166 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 5: he had because they say he's not. 167 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 3: Losing, well, is he really winning though? You know? And 168 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 3: it's just medioctic. 169 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 2: That just record, brov, that's just record. I'd like to 170 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: tone it down, but I can't. But look at these wins. 171 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: Two points over the Jets, seven points over to England 172 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: where they got what was it six turnovers, three points 173 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: over Minnesota. They beat Cleveland pretty good, but it's only Cleveland. 174 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 2: They beat Indy when Indy kept giving them the ball. 175 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: There's not a single win here. I mean, they beat 176 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 2: since he thirty four to twelve, but since he didn't 177 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 2: have Burrow. There's not one win here I find convincing. 178 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 2: How about you? 179 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 5: No, And that's exactly to the point is, even when 180 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 5: it's a close game, you would think that'd be the 181 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 5: most exciting, it's actually just like it's it's not entertaining 182 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 5: at all, and you can't watch it because it's like 183 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 5: they're stumbling into a win and the other team is actually. 184 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 6: Just losing more than the Steelers are winning. 185 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: But no, but thank you for the call, Daan. Winning's fun, 186 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 2: no doubt about that. I don't want to denigrate people 187 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: being happy when their team wins. But the Steelers aren't 188 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 2: no fun to watch. Tell me what they do, it's 189 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 2: fun to watch. Tell me a player they got, it's 190 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: fun to watch. I'll hang up and listen. We want 191 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 2: more calls, next calls on the fifteens. I just wasted 192 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: to if indeed you're a believer in the sanctity of 193 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: calls on the fifteens, which I am. But dial now 194 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 2: eight three, three four one two XDX and we got 195 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: Jerry Dulac talking football at the bottom of the hour 196 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: here on one oh five to nine. 197 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: Listen, I's a super genius. Mark Madden, how you doing. 198 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: We're all gonna walk to the rules. I make how 199 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: you liking now Beach TX at one nine, we're just 200 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: tuning in. TJ. Watt was in hospital with a lung disorder. 201 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 2: Doesn't appear to be from a blow during a football 202 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: game or in any way football related. His status for 203 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 2: Monday night is obviously in doubt. More news as it develops. 204 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 2: We got Montreal in time to play the Penguins tonight. 205 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 2: Montreal and another team right in the middle fifteen wins, 206 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: fourteen losses. The Penguins are at fourteen wins fourteen losses. 207 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: But the Penguins have more loser points seven loser points. 208 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 2: That's the most in the Eastern Conference. Perhaps not necessarily 209 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: a good thing. Montreal is supposed to be a team 210 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: that can break through this year, and they can skate, 211 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: but they're top heavy. I love Demodoff up front, Hudson 212 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 2: on defense, Kawfield could score. Suzuki's overrated at center, but 213 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: he's pretty good. They play a fast, clean game. The 214 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: Penguins are four and four in their last day, but 215 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: that's with three loser points. 216 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: I still can't believe what happened on Tuesday. 217 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 2: That point one second crap, Satane scored a goal in 218 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 2: three games, but I think he's played well, so that's 219 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 2: no biggie. But if there's a guy that they don't 220 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 2: need to slump, especially with Gino out, that'd be the captain, 221 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: Graves and Shay and Watherspoon on that left side of defense. 222 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: They're all solid. 223 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 2: I wish one of them would have been out there 224 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: for the end of the game against Anaheim on Tuesday. 225 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 2: I'd like to see Saint Ivany get a shot on 226 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: the right side now that he's healthy. I will always 227 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: be a Saint Ivany fan because of last year when 228 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 2: somebody went after Sid. He came off the bench and 229 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 2: went after the guy should have got suspended. I don't 230 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: know how they didn't notice that he came off when 231 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 2: was dead, but I always gave that guy credit, and 232 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 2: the Penguins need more of that than that. They can 233 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: get that from him specifically, So much the better, so 234 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: much the easier, because you know what you're getting later 235 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 2: on I'll talk. I was listening to NHL Radio today 236 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 2: on Sirius XM driving around and they were debating how 237 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 2: the small rink at the Olympics is going to affect 238 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: roster construction and play in the games, like three feet 239 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 2: three feet smaller, like that really matters. I can assure 240 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: you it does not at all. Let's go to Corey. Corey, 241 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: you're all with Mark? 242 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: Hey, good day?

Letang has some bad moments. 249 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: But I mean, what would you suggest Matt Dumba? 250 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 5: Anybody but Lang Latang is horrible his career Okay, you. 251 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: See, but that's just stupid hot. 252 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: His career is not over, bro, if he's still a 253 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 2: good player, needs to temper his game. I know you 254 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 2: sound like one of those guys that just blames him 255 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: for everything, like you think the team would be appreciably 256 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: better if he wasn't on a correct Okay, okay, so right, 257 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 2: and that shows how stupid and really ignorant the hockey 258 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 2: you are. But so, but just let's stay with this. 259 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: If you would bench Latang, cut Latang, shoot Latang, who 260 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: would you play in his place?

When you look at the possession time for 330 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: the Steelers and their opponents, that Steelers defense is played 331 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: the equivalent of all a most three full extra games 332 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: already this year. 333 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: That has to be debilitating. 334 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 6: Right, yeah, Mark, When you look at it, what it 335 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 6: is is the Steelers have run the fewest plays in 336 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 6: the league seven hundred and eighteen, and they've allowed the 337 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 6: most plays in the league eight hundred and ninety seven. 338 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 6: So that one hundred and seventy six play difference. When 339 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 6: you divide it by what is the average amount of 340 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 6: snaps league wide for a team, which is sixty one 341 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 6: and a half, it comes out to nearly two point nine, 342 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 6: which is nearly three full games, three extra games more. 343 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 6: That that means the defense has played. So instead of 344 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 6: playing thirteen games, Mark, this defense right now has played 345 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 6: six sixteen games. They got four more to go. Yeah. 346 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 2: And it's an older team, an older defense, and older 347 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 2: teams and players don't rally, They just get older and 348 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 2: in that vein not related to age. 349 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: But TJ. Watt hospitalized with a long disorder. 350 00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 2: Is there anything you can add, Jerry to what will 351 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: already know isn't in any way football related, like a 352 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 2: blow he took or whatever. 353 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, Mark, I don't know that. I'll just add real 354 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 6: quickly too, to the previous point of the Steelers, there 355 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 6: hasn't been a game this year where they've run more 356 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 6: plays than the opponent. And you know, the biggest difference 357 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 6: disparity was Sunday in Baltimore when the Ravens ran twenty 358 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 6: six more plays. Know what they're saying is about all 359 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 6: I know, You know, I don't want to say. I 360 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 6: get the sense that it's not serious. But I can't 361 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 6: sit here and even speculator say because I don't know. 362 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 6: You know, they're saying his playing availability for Monday is 363 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 6: in question, but we shall see. But I really can't Mark, 364 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 6: I don't know that it had anything to do with 365 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 6: with a blow to the chest or anything like that. 366 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 6: But again, I don't know that. I haven't heard that, 367 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 6: and so I be hesitant to say anything more that 368 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 6: just might until I hear something more concrete. You know, 369 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 6: I don't want to misrepresent. 370 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: Any Miami's a formidable opponent right now, aren't they four 371 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 2: straight wins? They're running the ball now, are they good? 372 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 2: Or did they just beat a bunch of bad teams recently. 373 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 6: Well, that's part of it, Mark, But like as I 374 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 6: always say, that's part of that's part of the job. 375 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 6: You beat the teams. And it's not like the Dolphins were, 376 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 6: you know, an eight and three team. They were struggling 377 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 6: just like everybody else. They started one and six. They've 378 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 6: won five of their last six games, four in a row. 379 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 6: But what they've done, Mark is you know, they've kind 380 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 6: of taken the ball on a two of tago by 381 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 6: Lowa's hands and they're running the football. And so when 382 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 6: you look at two his stats, you know, early in 383 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 6: the year he's throwing thirty two thirty five times and 384 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 6: they were scoring some points and maybe that's because they 385 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 6: got behind, but you know, fourteen picks he was turning 386 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 6: the ball over. And you look at these last four games, Mark, 387 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 6: the averaging one hundred and sixty five yards rushing. He's 388 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 6: only thrown three interceptions in that time. And so two 389 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 6: hundred and thirty nine yards rushing last week and that probably, 390 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 6: you know, matchup wise, doesn't gode well for the Steelers, 391 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 6: who have given up two forty nine and two seventeen 392 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 6: yards rushing in their last two games. So there's no 393 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 6: question what the Dolphins are going to try and do, 394 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 6: and that's to continue what they have been doing. Don't 395 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 6: have to to throw it more than sixteen seventeen times 396 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 6: twenty times tops, depending on what the score is, and 397 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 6: try and you know, stay ahead of the stay aheaded schedule, 398 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 6: as Mike Tomlin likes to say so, and it's going 399 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 6: to be up to the Steelers to stop it, which, 400 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 6: let's face it, haven't. There have been games would have 401 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 6: been pretty good Jonathan Taylor, Josh Jacobs, but they haven't 402 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 6: been consistent stopping the run. They certainly haven't been the 403 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 6: last two games. And I think maybe getting Derek Harmon back, 404 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 6: which appears to be the case, has to help Jerry. 405 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 2: I don't wish any will on Darnell Washington, but I'm 406 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 2: almost like to see him miss this game in concussion 407 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 2: protocol because I think it's absurd that they've fallen so 408 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: in love with that fat kid tight end package. 409 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: I want the real tight ends there, Friarmouth and John u. 410 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 6: Well, especially Friarmuth, Mark and I hear you about that. 411 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 6: You know, Darnell Washington plays so many snaps because one 412 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 6: because they've involved him in the past game, but two 413 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 6: and most importantly they you know, they love his blocking 414 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 6: and understandably so. But I the fact that they've gotten 415 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 6: away from Friarmuth, as you know, if they're they're one 416 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 6: of their two primary targets. It's just still baffling to me. 417 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 6: I don't get it. He's as dependable and as reliable 418 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 6: as you have and and to not target him and 419 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 6: throw the ball to him more is just unconscionable. Mark, 420 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 6: and I'm with you in that regard. Get Pat Friarmuth involved. 421 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 6: Every game has a high target. Look, you don't have 422 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 6: to get ten targets, but how about at least four 423 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 6: or five every game minimum, and rely on him, especially 424 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 6: in those short yardists situations, third and four, even third 425 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 6: and three. You know, have them sit down over the 426 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 6: line of scrimmage, turn around, sit there and throw them 427 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 6: the ball, whatever the case may be. Utilize him more. 428 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 6: And you're paying him a lot of money. And the 429 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 6: fact that they haven't utilized him really as much as 430 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 6: you would have thought since he signed that big contract, 431 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 6: and especially this year, I don't get it. And you 432 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 6: know what, shame on them. 433 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: Well, Jerry and the follow up. 434 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 2: It's like there's no communication between you know, personnel people, 435 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 2: the coach, the offensive coordinator. 436 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: You traded Minka for for John. 437 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 2: Hu and for Ramsey, and now Ramsey is a pale 438 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 2: imitation of Minca at safety. I mean, he's doing okay, 439 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 2: but he's not Minky even Minca in the last couple 440 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: of years here and John who is barely being used. 441 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: Don't don't you think about where everybody fits before you 442 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 2: make could trade. 443 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: For the love of. 444 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 6: God, well, Mark, yes and yeah, and it was by 445 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 6: necessity that you know that they ended up having to 446 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 6: move Jalen Ramsey. But you know, I will disagree in 447 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 6: one form. Jalen Ramsey has made more plays this year 448 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 6: than than Mika Fitzpatrick has made the last two with 449 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 6: the Steelers. But John new Smith's the biggest disappointment of 450 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 6: the year. You know, they were going to make that 451 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 6: trade early on, just or they talked about it, just 452 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 6: for John new Smith. You know, he caught eighty eight 453 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 6: balls last year with Miami and once he had thirty 454 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 6: catches for like an average six yards per reception, and 455 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 6: he's just you know, barely used. I don't know if 456 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 6: it's because they don't use them or you know, he's 457 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 6: he's just you know, at age thirty one has slowed down, 458 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 6: not getting open whatever the case may be. You know, 459 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 6: you thought that was going to be a big part 460 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 6: of the offense and it has really been effectively, Let's 461 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 6: face it, Mark no part of the offense. 462 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: We're talking to Jerry Doak at the post because that 463 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 2: here on the Mark at Madden Show. Jerry's brought to 464 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 2: us by bud Light, Easy to drink, easy to enjoy. 465 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 2: Obviously TJ. Watt being okay as everybody's primary concern, but 466 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: I feel like they can cover an edge rusher providing 467 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 2: Highsmith stays healthy in this game against Miami. 468 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,719 Speaker 6: How about you, well, Mark, while he has been healthy, 469 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 6: Alex Heismith has been their best defensive player the last 470 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 6: four or five games. Yeah, the numbers show it. I 471 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 6: thought it was fitting on Sunday that he ended the 472 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 6: game with that sack. You know, he has five sacks, 473 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 6: I think eight tackles for loss in his last four games. 474 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 6: The problem with Alex is he's had those soft muscle 475 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 6: soft tissue injuries that have kept him out, you know, 476 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 6: a couple of games here and there. But yeah, he's 477 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 6: been He's been very good, and you know, Nick Herbig 478 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 6: obviously is going to be the guy who's going to 479 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 6: step in for what if he can't play. I was 480 00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 6: surprised because they drafted Jack Sawyer for or the reason 481 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 6: that they suggested. You know, the way the Baltimore Ravens 482 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 6: dominated them in a playoff game, pushed them around. They 483 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 6: wanted a bigger outside linebacker. And he only played three 484 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 6: snaps against the Ravens. That surprised me. But obviously if TJ. 485 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 6: Watt can't play, he'll he'll go back to playing the 486 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 6: amount of snaps he did before. They were using him 487 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 6: quite a bit. To only use the three snaps against 488 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 6: the Ravens, I'm not sure what that was about, but 489 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 6: you know he'll he'll play a little bit more. But hey, 490 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 6: Nick her Big stats are or basically the same as 491 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 6: t J. Watts in terms of tackles for loss. He 492 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 6: actually has a couple more h he has the same 493 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 6: amount of fumble recoveries. He has I think one fewer 494 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 6: sacker or the same amount I think the same amount 495 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 6: of sacks. So he's been productive when he's played, But 496 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 6: obviously he's not the physical linebacker that TJ. Watt is. 497 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 6: But then Miami relies on speed and especially with Devon 498 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 6: a chain and so, uh, you know, having Nick Herbig 499 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 6: in there. Look, it's not t J. Watt, let's face it, 500 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 6: but having Nick Herbig in there is is not a 501 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 6: bad substitute. 502 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 2: Jerry, We've talked about this before, but the question to 503 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 2: me is not yet been answered. 504 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: Do the Steelers haven't identity yet? On either side of 505 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: the ball? 506 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 6: Mark I would say offensively no, and defensively probably the 507 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 6: same answer, because their identity wants to be stopping the run, 508 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 6: and they've just been too inconsistent as soon as they 509 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 6: showed it in a couple of games, you know, against 510 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 6: the Colts, against the Packers, and even against the Bears. 511 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 6: You know, you're talking about three of the best rushing 512 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 6: teams in the league. You know, the Bears, they you know, 513 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 6: they ran for ninety nine yards, but you know a 514 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 6: week later they ran for two ninety nine. And they've 515 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,239 Speaker 6: been doing it. They came in against the Steelers as 516 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 6: the NFC's number one rushing team, and so I think 517 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 6: they're number one overall now. And so I thought the 518 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 6: Steelers showed in some of those games the ability to 519 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 6: contain the run if not stop it. And then you 520 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 6: turn around and you see what they've done the last 521 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 6: two weeks. And again, maybe that's because Derek Carmon wasn't 522 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 6: in there. I never like to blame it on one person, 523 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 6: you know, good or bad, So I can't imagine that's 524 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 6: the reason. But that's the identity that's missing from this defense. 525 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 6: They just don't shut the other team down on any 526 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 6: amount of with any amount of consistency. I will give them, 527 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 6: give them their props though for this mark. You know, 528 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 6: in four other previous games it's quality teams Seattle, Chicago, 529 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 6: green Bay and I'm missing who's the other one I'm missing, 530 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 6: But they had a halftime lead and oh at Buffalo 531 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 6: and failed to protect it. At least they did that 532 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 6: on Sunday, and they did it by you know, when 533 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,719 Speaker 6: you think the Ravens got to the Steelers ten on 534 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 6: three separate occasions in the fourth quarter and they came 535 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 6: away with just two field goals, and that's not counting 536 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 6: them getting to the thirty yard line at the end 537 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 6: of the game where was ended with Alex Heismith sax. 538 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 6: So I give them credit for making the plays them 539 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 6: then to keep the Ravens you know somewhat at Bay 540 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 6: at that point, but their lack of consistency game in 541 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 6: and game out, for the most part, I think deprives 542 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 6: them of their identity. And for a team that wants 543 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 6: to run the ball offensively, again, we've seen sporadic instances 544 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 6: where you know, whether Kenny Gamewell or even Jalen Warren 545 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 6: have been productive. Thirty four yards last week, mark that's 546 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 6: the fewest in five years, and so you know, obviously 547 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 6: if you want to be a running, run, somewhat oriented attack, 548 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 6: that's certainly not the way to do it. 549 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 2: And in that vein Jerry, I mean, your record is 550 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: what your record is, but part of me can't believe 551 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 2: they're seven and six. They're a top to division for 552 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 2: what that's word. But it makes me wonder where they're 553 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: really going. I don't look at any of their wins 554 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: this year has been particularly convincing. 555 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 6: I think Minnesota and Indianapolis games, and I know that 556 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 6: Minnesota is not the playoff team of thirteen and three 557 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 6: team they were last year, but I thought those two 558 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 6: games were convincing, and I thought being able to pull 559 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 6: out the game the other day or hold off the Ravens, 560 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 6: I thought was big for them, given the fact that 561 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 6: they had been in a slide, you know, five of 562 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 6: their last seven games, Mark, they lose that and they 563 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 6: get that six out of eight. Man, the Wolves would 564 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 6: be out on Monday night for sure. So but again 565 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 6: that goes to the consistency. They haven't had back to 566 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 6: back wins since Week four at this time of year. 567 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 6: Maybe they went through their little streak, but they need, 568 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 6: you know, they need to do that. And you know, 569 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 6: I'll say this to Mark. You know, they're one of 570 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 6: three teams who've been in first place the entire season 571 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 6: from week one and whether that's is that whether you 572 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 6: want to applaud them for that or you know, throw 573 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 6: more shade on what's going on with the rest of 574 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 6: the division. Regardless of the fact, despite all their foibles, 575 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 6: they've never been out of first place in the division. 576 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 6: And so I guess that doesn't matter if you're thirteen 577 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 6: and three or seven and six. You know, seven and 578 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 6: six right now. So we're going to see where it 579 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 6: takes them. In these last four games I think, you know, 580 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 6: are gonna be indicative of at least what you think 581 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 6: this team is or might might might be able to 582 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 6: do in the postseason. 583 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with all that, And to that point, 584 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 2: I think this game feels huge. 585 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: It's at home. 586 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 2: They've won like what, twenty two straight games on Monday 587 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 2: night at home. Miami has won four in a row. 588 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: But they're not thought to be that good. That said, 589 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 2: they have one win less than the Steelers. If they 590 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 2: lose this game, it'll feel very much like same old story. 591 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 2: If they can win, maybe maybe momentum would actually build. 592 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 6: Finally, I agree Mark, and to your point, if they 593 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 6: win the game, then all they have to do is 594 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 6: win one more games against the Ravens and then it 595 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 6: doesn't matter what they do in the other two. And 596 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 6: so if they go two and two in the last 597 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 6: four games and one of those wins is against the Ravens, 598 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 6: they win the division title. They could go one in 599 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 6: three conceivably as long as they beat the Ravens. And 600 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 6: given the Ravens schedule I see the New York Times, 601 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 6: their computer analysis still gives them an eighty percent chance 602 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 6: of winning the division because you know, Baltimore is poor 603 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 6: as they have been playing. You know, they had the 604 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 6: Bengals this week who beat them already. Then they have 605 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 6: Green Bay and they have New England and then another 606 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 6: game with the Steelers. So Steelers beat the Dolphins. That 607 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 6: puts them one win against the Ravens at the very 608 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 6: least from clenching a division. 609 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 2: But by the same token, didn't I read somewhere if 610 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: the Ravens win out, they win the division no matter what. 611 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 6: Well, that's why I said. That's why I said that 612 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 6: the Steelers have to beat the Ravens, okay, in that 613 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 6: final game, So one of those wins has to be 614 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 6: against the Ravens. But that's provided you know the Ravens 615 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 6: are going to win all the rain remaining games. And 616 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 6: when you look at their schedule, Packers, New England and 617 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 6: even the Bengals the way they've been playing, I don't 618 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 6: think that's uh. I don't think. I think that's nice talk, 619 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 6: But looking at it, I don't know how realistic that is. 620 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: Jerry, great stuff. I appreciate the time. 621 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 6: Enjoy the game, all right, Mark, always good chat with you, 622 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 6: my friend. 623 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: That's Terry. 624 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 2: Do I broaklast by bud Light, easy to drink, easy 625 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 2: to enjoy.

Washington is in question for Monday night's 645 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 2: game because he's a concussion protocol. I hope he can't play, 646 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 2: and that's no knock on him. I wish him well. 647 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 2: I want everyone to have perfect health, especially the Steelers 648 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 2: because they've done so much for the city. 649 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: But I would love to see Don L. 650 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: Washington unavailable, and let's get back to using real tight 651 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: ends like John Newsmith and in particular, Pat Fryarmouth. 652 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: Done. 653 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 2: Washington just this fat kid with minimal athletic ability. He 654 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 2: has no talent beyond big. The Steelers have fallen in 655 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 2: love with him as a novelty act, but what they 656 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 2: have him doing isn't working. Except for the one viral 657 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 2: moment where he caught a pass and ran over some people. 658 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 2: They're running game stinks.

And that 694 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 2: might have been true, but I was also the only 695 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 2: one there reviewing the concert, so no, not necessarily a 696 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 2: Moody Blues fan, Although I did attend a show a 697 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 2: little bit later that I reviewed, and I said, Okay, 698 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 2: they didn't. 699 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:26,399 Speaker 1: Suck quite as bad. 700 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 2: I will say this, there were times that I would 701 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 2: adjust my review to get a good line in. For example, 702 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 2: Joan Jet who I really like. She opened for Robert 703 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 2: Plant and she played a perfectly passable show, but I 704 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 2: gave her a one line review. 705 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 1: At the end of of. 706 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 2: Course, canonizing Robert Plant's performance, I said, I love myself 707 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,720 Speaker 2: for hating her, but she was okay. 708 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 1: Let's go to a talkback. 709 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 8: Why don't you refer to the mouth breathers as the 710 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 8: pores anymore? 711 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: It was some of your best work, well not my 712 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: best work. That's stolen from MJF. 713 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 2: Maxwell Jacob Friedman, who's the lead heel when he's used properly, 714 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 2: which isn't very often in all elite wrestling. Yeah, I 715 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 2: got Max refers to the poors as the poors. I 716 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 2: don't know why I dropped it, but I haven't said 717 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 2: it in a long time. Maybe you've refreshed its juice. 718 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,800 Speaker 2: Let's go to Matt Matt ask Mark anything. 719 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 8: It become pretty clear that the pirates are only trying 720 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,879 Speaker 8: to turn a profit rather than win but what kind 721 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 8: of move or multiple moves would show that they're actually 722 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 8: trying to win within. 723 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: That Well, let me tell you what they could do 724 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 1: to convince me. 725 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 2: They could make this trade for Brandon Low the second 726 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 2: basement of tamp and signed him to a long term deal, 727 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 2: and no matter what they had to give up for him, 728 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 2: give up some legitimate prospects, do something while Paul Skeens 729 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 2: is here. 730 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: If they got him and went out and got another. 731 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 2: Legitimate, big time back, like I keep hearing Eugenio Suats, 732 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 2: who who you know is a flawed player but has 733 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 2: great power, he would still be real expensive, but he 734 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 2: might be a guy who would be willing to come 735 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 2: to the Pirates if they overbid a little bit. So 736 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 2: if you made that trade for Low and got Suarez 737 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:31,360 Speaker 2: and didn't sacrifice Chandler or obviously Paul Skeens, then you 738 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 2: wouldn't con me, but you would at least convince me 739 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 2: you're trying more than I believed you ever would. 740 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, I agree with that simply from the perspective too. 741 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 8: As Low, he'll be at the end of his deal 742 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 8: at the end of this year. This next season is 743 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 8: going to be a knifemare with a lockout. So I 744 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 8: think signing a guy to a one year deal makes 745 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 8: more sense than any especially for small market. 746 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 2: Well, no, but you're not gonna get Suarez for a 747 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 2: one year deal. If you trade for a branded law, 748 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 2: you're not gonna re sign him for one year deal. 749 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,479 Speaker 2: You might him as a rental for the one year. 750 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 2: And I'm saying these things without even a shred of 751 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 2: conviction that they have even a one percent chance of happening. 752 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: Let's go to David. 753 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 4: Hey, Mark, I listen when you talk with Pierre Maguire 754 00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 4: a lot, and I know he stresses, you know how 755 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:23,959 Speaker 4: he thinks some important gold differential is correct. That being said, 756 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 4: Washington has the third highest gold differential. Do you think 757 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 4: that's fools Gold or do you think they're for real? 758 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 2: I thought they were to collapse last year. I thought 759 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 2: they were too old. 760 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 1: Last year. I thought OVI was too old. Last year. 761 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 1: They just won't go away, will they? 762 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 3: No? 763 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 4: When I saw that the other day, I couldn't believe it. 764 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:44,879 Speaker 4: I think, Plus, I. 765 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 2: Think they have the best record in the conference currently. No, 766 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,960 Speaker 2: it's not fools Gold, BRUV. I mean, would it shock 767 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,800 Speaker 2: me if they finally did run out of gas? 768 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 5: No? 769 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,720 Speaker 1: But but I think they're for real. 770 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 2: I think they will be at the very least the 771 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 2: playoff team and maybe at the top of the the division. Again, 772 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 2: didn't they finish first in the division last year? 773 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, and good for OV Now now they got brakes. 774 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 2: Like I know, Sid had wondered why Washington was still 775 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 2: up there and the Penguins weren't. Well, that's because guys 776 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 2: like Oh and Backstrom had debilitating injuries to cut them 777 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 2: cap relief. 778 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: But nonetheless why ask why? 779 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 2: And also because they didn't trade away as many picks 780 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 2: to try to win more like the Penguins did. But 781 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 2: the Penguins won three times and the Caps won once. 782 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 2: Thank you for the call, one oh five nine y X.
