1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Guaranteed human.

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Steelers showing a little bit of pressure here. Now they're

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: going to bring four. Wilson comes late in the blitz

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: it here.

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 3: Comes Ramsey and gets on his sack back in the

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 3: thirty yard line, jailing Ramsey with his third sack of

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 3: the season too, holding onto the ball a little longer

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 3: than he should have.

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 4: In a couple of instances last night, Steelers defense held

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 4: the Dolphins pretty much until it became a twenty eight

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 4: to three game, and then they kind of relaxed a

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 4: little bit and let it let it look a little

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 4: bit closer than it actually was last night. Joining us

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 4: right now, the author of that play call here on

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 4: the Steelers Audio Network, and it's time for a power

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 4: hour of Steeler Talk here on DVE. In this half

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 4: hour of the Power Hours, brought to you by your

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: neighborhood Ford Store, the F one fifty, the official truck

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 4: of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm king joining us Kinger, Good morning, buddy,

20
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: How are you?

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: Good morning guys? How you doing?

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 5: What a what a fun win for the Pittsburgh Steelers

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 5: last night.

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 4: It really was the fact that I didn't go to

25
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: bed full of stress and cortisol shooting through my veins.

26
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 4: Was it felt like such a gift, Like, what a

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 4: delightful way to enter into this, you know, the holiday

28
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: season here by not being stressed out for once on

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 4: a late night game. When the Steelers play in primetime,

30
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 4: it seems like it always goes down to the wire.

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: And Mike McDaniel, head coach of the Dolphins, said as

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 4: much at halftime. He said, I think this one's going

33
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: to go down to the bitter end. Unless that was

34
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 4: not the case. King are they kind of put their

35
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: feet on their throat there in the second half.

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was trying to think back, you know, as

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 5: you were talking Randy about the most complete games the

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 5: Steelers have played, and you know, the one in Ireland

39
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 5: was really was a really complete game until the Vikings

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 5: somehow got back in it late. The Dolphins didn't get

41
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 5: back at this one late. The Steelers. You know, it

42
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 5: was kind of it was a really sluggish start to

43
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 5: the game. I don't know how it felt at home

44
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 5: watching it on TV if you're in the stands, but

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 5: you know, the Steelers with that late score at the

46
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 5: end of the first half and then the way they

47
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 5: came out in the second half, that's been something that's

48
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 5: been an issue for them and something that I hope

49
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 5: that they've they've fixed over the last couple of weeks,

50
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 5: which is these games in which you have to lead

51
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 5: at the half, and you come out in the second

52
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 5: half and you take your first possession and you put

53
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 5: up points. Last week, it was a field goal against Baltimore.

54
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 5: This week it was a touchdown. So loved that. Loved that,

55
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 5: and I just felt like, you know, at some point

56
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 5: this was no longer a game. I mean, they just

57
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 5: they they took it to him and it was fun

58
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 5: to watch.

59
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to his numbers.

60
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 4: We were talking about it earlier, it looked a lot

61
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 4: better than it actually was. Twenty two of twenty eight

62
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 4: for two hundred and fifty three yards, two touchdowns, and

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: a pick. He had one hundred and thirteen point two QBR.

64
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: But yeah, he.

65
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: Wasn't good last night.

66
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 4: And I don't know if it was the temperatures or

67
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: what you could blame it on, but the Steelers missing

68
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 4: some key components defensively, I'm surprised they didn't just stick

69
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: with the run all night and just try to develop

70
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 4: that against that beleaguer to Steelers defensive line. Well, beleaguer

71
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: is probably the wrong word, because they played pretty well,

72
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 4: but for one or two chunks that a Chan was

73
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: able to get.

74
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: I was surprised. You know, I agree with you.

75
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 5: You know I would have run it on first down, second, yes,

76
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 5: third down, fourth down four.

77
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: Which is what the Steelers finally did to start the

78
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 4: second half.

79
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 2: Kick. Oh, I'm saying about the Dolphins me too.

80
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 4: I'm saying but that used to be my complaint about

81
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 4: the Steelers, Like if you run it three straight times,

82
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 4: you have to punt.

83
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 5: Okay, right, Well, I thought the Steelers had a good

84
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 5: balance last night, and I understand.

85
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: You know, look, I think we've all wanted to see

86
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: more from the running game.

87
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 5: When you look at what they accomplished last night, one

88
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 5: hundred and thirty five yards rushing, and some of that was,

89
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 5: you know, tougher sledding as the game.

90
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: Goes on, and the Dolphins kind of know they're gonna

91
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: run it. But they had a possession. I think it

92
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: was when they'd gone up.

93
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 5: I believe it was when they'd gone up twenty one

94
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 5: to three, and they it might have been the fourteen

95
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 5: to three drive.

96
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: They came out in.

97
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 5: No huddle, and I you know, look, they they showed

98
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 5: aggressiveness last night. They went for fourth down in their

99
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 5: own territory. It's their own twenty nine yard line. I

100
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 5: think it was, yes, uh, you know the uh so

101
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 5: we were trying to decide to Abby whether it was

102
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 5: Max likes Max like Steel City Shove. Wes Yuler was

103
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 5: was opting for Pittsburgh plunge. I kind of like them both.

104
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: You know, Max, Max is the guys who were calling

105
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 5: it the Steel City Shove, but.

106
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 4: Steel City Shove.

107
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: Sorry, Wes, Okay, all right, there we go.

108
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 5: So so, you know, look they went for they went

109
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 5: forward and fourth down and got it in their own deep,

110
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 5: in their own territory, you know, at an important moment

111
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 5: of the game and as far as momentum and that

112
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 5: sort of thing. And then they came out in no

113
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 5: huddle and attacked. They didn't sit back on the lead.

114
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 5: You know, they did late in the game, but by

115
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 5: then it was academic. I just thought it was an

116
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 5: aggressive attacking game for the Steelers.

117
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: They ran for one hundred and thirty five yards.

118
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 5: You know, Aaron Rodgers, I thought, once again completely in command,

119
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 5: I mean against the Ravens, he was zipping it all

120
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 5: over the place last night, just taking what was given

121
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 5: him and letting, you know, DK Metcalf and others make plays.

122
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 5: I just thought it was a pretty complete offensive performance.

123
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 4: Well, you know, Mike pointed this out earlier earlier in

124
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 4: the show that in the first quarter it might have

125
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 4: been like one of the first throws of the night.

126
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 4: He had feeling one on one with a chance for

127
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 4: a you know, a shot down field, and he consciously

128
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: dumps it off to gainwell there. And it was almost

129
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 4: as if they wanted to reduce the amount of risk

130
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: last night to ensure they kept time of possession and

131
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 4: had a more sort of rhythmic, methodical start to that game.

132
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: Because even when that SHOT's there a guy who's only

133
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 4: been there two weeks and it's eleven degrees out last night,

134
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 4: maybe you are better off to just take the.

135
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: Short thing there.

136
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: There was one time late in the game where he

137
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 4: did have gainwell for a first down and he just

138
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: he wanted something bigger and on third and three, and

139
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 4: he ended up I think taking a sack on that one.

140
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 4: But by and large, I thought that that was the

141
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers that we were counting on all year, the

142
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 4: guy who manages the game and sees things that other

143
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: quarterbacks don't, including a guy running off the field that's right,

144
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: you know, that would give you a too many men

145
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 4: on the field penalty, which I thought, you know, there's

146
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 4: just not a lot of guys who are going to

147
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: hurry up and do that and then tell the rest

148
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 4: they missed it exactly, you.

149
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: Know, exactly.

150
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you know, he brings those things that few,

151
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 5: if any other quarterbacks in NFL history can bring.

152
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: The ability to.

153
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 5: Dissect I mean, he's top of the food chain when

154
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 5: it comes to that, and so that's something, you know,

155
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 5: the finding the guys running off the field, that's something,

156
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 5: you know, the processing speed, the ability to throw to

157
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 5: the right person, that's something we've seen. The arm strength

158
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 5: still there. Yeah, there's times where the times where the

159
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 5: mobility hasn't been as good. I didn't think it was

160
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 5: as good in in you know, against the Chargers, one

161
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 5: or two other games the Jets at the beginning of

162
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 5: the year. But you know, think about him running around

163
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 5: against Cincinnati, think about it. Even last night he ducked

164
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 5: out of some some pressure situation. So I just think

165
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks and for most of the season,

166
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: you know, he had he had a stretch of two

167
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 5: or three game for he wasn't at his best and

168
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 5: the offense wasn't at his best, but he by and

169
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 5: large is a big upgrade at the quarterback position.

170
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: It's been a while.

171
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 5: Since we've seen quarterback play of this quality, and it's

172
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 5: one of the reasons that I thought the students, you know,

173
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 5: I've been kind of harping on this all year long,

174
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 5: had an opportunity to be better than they were a

175
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 5: year ago because I think the roster is better and

176
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 5: I think the quarterback's better.

177
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 4: Well, how much of Aaron Rodgers looking better has to

178
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: do with Scanton and Fling being in there.

179
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I think they had what one catch each?

180
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 5: Thelan had one catch. Marquez valed thatz Scanton had one catch.

181
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: You know. Theling brings you the ability.

182
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 5: To plow well, you know, I mean, I'm sure that

183
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 5: those guys are there.

184
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: They they bring you some comfort. I like the fact

185
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: that he went to Friarmuth.

186
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 5: You know, I I you know, he said this before

187
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 5: I find the guys who were open, and I really,

188
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: I truly believe that's what he's doing. I mean, that's

189
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 5: you go through your progression to or in his case,

190
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 5: it's already done, probably before the ball snapped, and you

191
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 5: go to the guy who's open, and that was Darnell

192
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 5: Washington a few times last night that was that was Friarmuth,

193
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 5: by the way, I think I I think I made

194
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 5: earthworm into a verb last night.

195
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: He earthwormed somebody like that.

196
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, these guys come up and they are

197
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 5: trying to get so low and he just lowers his

198
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 5: head and just leaves him.

199
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 4: I think jump over a couple of those guys.

200
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 5: I mean, well he did that last time I got hurt.

201
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 5: Was that what he got hurt? I can't remember if

202
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 5: that's when he got hurt.

203
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah he could. He'll he'll bring that in, I'm sure.

204
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

205
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 4: He's just so massive and they were able to get

206
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 4: the ball to him. Last night's uh three receptions for

207
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 4: twenty five yards. Credit to Arthur Smith too, for you know,

208
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: he said he got pass happy against Baltimore and just

209
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: establishing that run. And with Jalen Warren questionable to even

210
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 4: play last night before the game, he ends up playing.

211
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: He was sick those guys.

212
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 6: You know.

213
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 4: Our buddy Joe Barnicon studio with us here this morning.

214
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 4: The Dolphins came out and were absolutely lay in the wood.

215
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: I mean they were crushing the Steelers on defense to

216
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 4: the point where Jalen Warren usually bounces off and gets

217
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: a few more yards after contact, and last night he

218
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: was just going down like a rock.

219
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought Joe was gonna expound.

220
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 7: Well yeah, well, rub you could hear the pops. He

221
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 7: had to hear the booths. We get hear it on television.

222
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

223
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a hard hitting game.

224
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 5: And you know you see this though, right, Like teams

225
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 5: come out and used to see this with Jerome Bettis right,

226
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 5: Tons used to talk about this all the time. You

227
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 5: come out and you're fired up, and you you know,

228
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 5: you want to be physical against Jerome, and if you're

229
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 5: the Dolphins, I'm sure you want to put the narrative

230
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 5: behind you that you don't do well in freezing cold

231
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 5: temperatures below freezing cold temperatures, and so you know, you

232
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 5: come out and you're you're hitting guys and then you know,

233
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 5: Tounsch used to describe it as guys finding convenient angles

234
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 5: to miss Jerome late in the game. Ah, jeez, you

235
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 5: know I bad angle their coach. Yeah, so, and I

236
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 5: think by the time this game was over. You saw

237
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 5: a lot of Dolphins getting up slowly, and and why

238
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 5: does that happen? Well, first of all, you match their

239
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 5: physicality or to exceed it. And then secondly, you control

240
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 5: the clock. You run more plays than the other team

241
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 5: for the first time all year, you win the time

242
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 5: of possession. They're out there for a long time. You're

243
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 5: moving forward, they're moving backward. I mean, as great a

244
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 5: player as Micka Fitzpatrick is, he was slow to get

245
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 5: up several times. And as much as he likes to

246
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 5: bring the hitting, he was slow getting up a few times.

247
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 5: The sit is just warmed down and it was good

248
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 5: to see, you know, thirty two rushes, twenty seven pass attempts.

249
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: You know, the balance there offensively for the team. Like

250
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 5: I said at the beginning, this is the most complete

251
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 5: game the Steelers played for most of the game. You know, again,

252
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 5: a couple of garbage touchdowns, but you know, this is

253
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 5: a good, complete win against a team that had won.

254
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 2: Four in a row.

255
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I thought it was a nice moment last

256
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: night when the Steelers, you know, his former teammates were

257
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 4: out on the field making sure he was okay. When

258
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 4: when Mika was hurt late in the game, but boy

259
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 4: he got postered by DK on that touchdown.

260
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: He just flung aside like a rag doll.

261
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 4: That was the play that we thought we'd be seeing

262
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 4: a lot more from DK this year, you know, making

263
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 4: things happen. I think that defense at that point was

264
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: pretty well beat up and absolutely freezing in the second half.

265
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 4: But a huge second effort from DK metcalf to get

266
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 4: that touchdown because you know, first and goal is not

267
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 4: a sure thing with this Steeler team.

268
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, they've been pretty good in the red zone,

269
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 5: but I will say that the Steelers offense, I will

270
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 5: say this, I'd like see him get their more offen

271
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 5: and obviously we all would, but you know, DK, you know,

272
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 5: he and Darnell they just cannot be fun to tackle.

273
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 5: And you get guys like you know, Gainwell and Joe

274
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 5: and Warren run really really hard and they are looking

275
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 5: to hit guys, and you know, I remember, you know,

276
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 5: we've talked about this a little bit by the Steelers

277
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 5: front office, really trying to get the Steelers back to

278
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 5: their roots, back to being a physical football team, and

279
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 5: you know that was on display last night. A team

280
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 5: that you know, again, no Derek Harmon, no TJ. Watt defensively.

281
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 5: I thought Cam Heyward played a great game last night

282
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 5: for the Steelers. But you know they this is what

283
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 5: they want to be, A physical, hard hitting team, a

284
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 5: team you know, at the end of the game, you

285
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 5: felt that you played. Oh boy, man, we played the

286
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Steelers and that's you know, that's how they were,

287
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 5: you know, two decades ago with Jerome Bettis and with

288
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 5: that defense. You know, they were a team that in

289
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 5: December up there it was cold. Man, do you really

290
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 5: want to play that team? I thought we saw some

291
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 5: manifestations of that last night. You know, they a physical,

292
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 5: hard hitting football team that takes it to the other team.

293
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 5: And that's that works. Whether it's ninety five degrees in

294
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 5: Miami or whether it's eleven degrees in Pittsburgh, that kind

295
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 5: of play is always going to work.

296
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 7: I thought Metcalf had the official steel City shove sho.

297
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah to make it right to the ground.

298
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: Your call was Rob, oh, thanks, thank you.

299
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 5: It was I mean, guys were tumbling and you know,

300
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 5: and again when you talk about the physical element, you know,

301
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 5: you know DK Metcalf and and Darnall Washington. There are

302
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 5: others too, but those two guys in particular, you know

303
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 5: John new Smith, you know, these guys are no joke

304
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 5: when they get ahead, his team going, you know, I

305
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 5: mean trying to tackle these guys. In addition to the

306
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 5: running backs, you know, the students are physical in the

307
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 5: passing game as well. And that's that's kind of fun

308
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 5: to see.

309
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 4: Back to your earlier point, I guess I'm just traumatized

310
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 4: by all the short third and shorts that we've been

311
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: on them unable to get this year in the red zone.

312
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: The Steelers are actually tied for third when it comes

313
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 4: to touchdown success with the Rams and the Washington Commanders.

314
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers was feeling himself last night after the game.

315
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: He was in a good mood.

316
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 4: He was talking to ESPN deportees after the game, King

317
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 4: here listen to this, and I.

318
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 6: Do love I love being here in the city. I

319
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 6: loved the organization. It's been a lot of fun for

320
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 6: me to be able to play for Mike Tomlin. There's

321
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 6: a lot of good guys on this team, Guys that

322
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 6: care about.

323
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: It, guys that feel like they've got a lot to prove.

324
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 6: But my one question is, what the hell's my tequila?

325
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, apparently he's got a deal for some tequila from

326
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 4: the deport's ace reporter there.

327
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: He gives me Spanish too.

328
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 4: Rogers went on, he was speaking Spanish with him last night.

329
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 5: But yeah, he's I don't know. I don't know if

330
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 5: you guys remember him being on Jeopardy, not just the host,

331
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 5: but he was on Jeopardy. I think he I can't

332
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 5: remember who he competed against, like an astronaut or something,

333
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 5: and he just demolished everybody in Jeopardy.

334
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: You know, certainly he is. He is a bright guy,

335
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: and you.

336
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 5: Know, and that's why he processes so well at the

337
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage. But yeah, fun to you know, it's

338
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 5: all fun when you're winning. And right now, look, man,

339
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 5: it's December and the Steelers are playing. I think they're

340
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 5: playing their best foot. I think these are the best

341
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 5: two back to back games they've had all year.

342
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: Agreed, let's go through some of the people who we

343
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 4: saw last night, who you don't normally see in the

344
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 4: first Sante Samuel.

345
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, nice to see him get a start.

346
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 5: And look, this guy was a really he's a really

347
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 5: good player. He had the neck injury, the surgery. You know,

348
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 5: teams didn't sign him. He was listed as a top

349
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 5: twenty five free agent in the offseason. Definitely a starting

350
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 5: caliber corner and you know, the Steelers were hoping Slave

351
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 5: was going to be that guy. He didn't turn out

352
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 5: to be that guy. You know, they've had some injuries

353
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 5: there as well. You know, he is a he's a

354
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 5: guy that can really cover. I think he was talking

355
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 5: to somebody about you know, uh, he's not the biggest guy,

356
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 5: but being more physical than he's been giving credit for,

357
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 5: but having to kind of protect that with his neck,

358
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 5: you know, as a guy who can cover. You know,

359
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 5: if if, if you can sign a guy like that,

360
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 5: you know, these are these are guys that you have

361
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 5: to go out.

362
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: And get in the first round of the draft usually.

363
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 5: So if he's a guy that lights it here, plays well, contributes,

364
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 5: the team goes on a run and they can re

365
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 5: sign him, that is a really good pick up, especially

366
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 5: when you have guys like Eccles, you know, Pierre was

367
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 5: out of this game.

368
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: Eccles and Pierre stepping up as well. Joey Porter Jr.

369
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 5: On the other side, I really like a Sante Samuel

370
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 5: and it was nice to see him come up with a.

371
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 4: Big play last night and Joey Porter Junior having a

372
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 4: heck of a year too. Dylan Brooks left tackle last night.

373
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah Cook is there?

374
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: You know he's there, Court, I said, Dylan Cook.

375
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, he's their fourth string left tackle. Think about that.

376
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 5: You know, we were watching him up in camp the

377
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 5: last couple of years. Felt like he was a guy

378
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 5: that was close to being ready to play. Now I

379
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 5: say that, I'm talking to others who say that, you know,

380
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 5: Max has been you know, he liked Dylan Cook what

381
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 5: he's seen in camp the last couple of years and

382
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: you know, getting his first real taste of NFL action

383
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 5: and stood up really well. And again this is why,

384
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,479
Speaker 5: you know, when we came when the Steers came out

385
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 5: of camp, we were talking about how deep the Steelers

386
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 5: team was, the amount of depth they had. And you're

387
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 5: seeing that with guys like Eccles and you know, Malik

388
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 5: Harrison contributing and you know, now you signed a Sante Samuel,

389
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 5: but you know these guys I did I just say Eccles.

390
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: I can't remember. It's early in the morning.

391
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 5: You know, these guys that have the depth, guys that

392
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 5: have that have stepped to the four like Dylan Cook

393
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 5: and literally your fourth offensive tackle and to come in

394
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 5: and do a job. I don't remember Bradley Chubb doing

395
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 5: anything last night. That's a two time All Pro who's

396
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 5: been playing well for the Dolphins.

397
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 4: Gain Well has been outstanding this year. I think that

398
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 4: he has been so much more than most Steeler fans expected,

399
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 4: that's for sure. Even though coach Tomlin always says that no, no,

400
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: this is what.

401
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: I knew we were getting.

402
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 4: You know, hey, the Eagles running game has suffered quite

403
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 4: a bit actually since he's been gone. You know, you

404
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 4: could kind of look at it that way, but last

405
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 4: night having to lean on him, I mean, there's just

406
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody that Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin

407
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 4: trust more than Kenneth Gainwell right now.

408
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agreed, And we saw this in Minnesota when

409
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 5: Jalen couldn't go, and last night extremely efficient thirteen carries

410
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 5: for eighty yards, he had seven receptions, led the team

411
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 5: in that category. And it's almost as if they're interchangeable,

412
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 5: you know. I mean a lot of times you'll have backs, Okay,

413
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 5: this is a third down back, and when everybody's healthy,

414
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 5: game will comes out and plays on third down. But

415
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 5: Jalen Mormon was a third down back last year, and

416
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 5: you know we've seen when game has gotten the opportunity

417
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 5: that the students offense hasn't missed a beat.

418
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 2: He's been horrific.

419
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 5: And again, you talk about quality depth, and it comes

420
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 5: in different ways. Sometimes it's a guy who wasn't playing,

421
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 5: like Dylan Cook who's on the practice squad. Sometimes it's

422
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 5: a guy who you expect to run say six, seven

423
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 5: times a game. Now he's got to run it, you know,

424
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 5: thirteen times, or as he did in Ireland, more than that,

425
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 5: and he can step up and fill that role. That's again,

426
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 5: that's quality depth. He's a quality player. You know, those

427
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 5: guys all get along in that running back room. There's

428
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 5: no jealousy there, which is nice too. You don't hear

429
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 5: any complaining. They support each other and gain well. You

430
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 5: know a couple of times this year has went called

431
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 5: upon its stepped up and taken the big role.

432
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: He makes big plays.

433
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 7: Yes, when you need a third down, when he's made

434
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 7: some catches where it seems like most guys would drop

435
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 7: that ball, Oh and he'll.

436
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: Make a catch it you just need he's clutch.

437
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Rogers has thrown him a few go get hims

438
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 4: and he I mean pulling him off of his shoelaces

439
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 4: and then picking up and getting the first down. He's

440
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 4: been just tough as nails and as reliable as anybody

441
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 4: on this offense.

442
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 2: Yep.

443
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 5: And I think one other guy and I don't know

444
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 5: if you're gonna get to him, but you know, Connor Hayward. Yes,

445
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 5: what a nice game for him, right, four carries, three

446
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 5: first downs, a touchdown, and then just when you're thinking,

447
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 5: oh no, man, that when that on side kick gets

448
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 5: by that first row, you're like healing, and there he is.

449
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 5: You know, he's just like I think, he's a security

450
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 5: blanket in so many ways. You know, if you had injuries,

451
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 5: he could go in and play running back for you.

452
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 5: We know he can catch. You know, maybe they've got

453
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 5: better guys at some of those positions. But to have

454
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 5: a guy, you know, like a Connor Hayward, like Scotty Miller,

455
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 5: I think is a guy like that, Oh man, we

456
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 5: got to Okay, I'm gonna go be the gunner. Okay,

457
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 5: I'm gonna hold for kicks, I'm gonna return punts. You know,

458
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 5: guys that can help you in a number of different ways,

459
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 5: even if they're not called upon to do it all

460
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 5: the time. I would imagine those are a really comfortable

461
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 5: guys for a coaching staff to have.

462
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 4: The kickers continue to have a ridiculous year, and it's

463
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 4: even bled over to the on side kicks. Do you

464
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 4: see how they're doing those now side to side?

465
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

466
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 4: I mean that those are hard as hell to pick

467
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: off the.

468
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: Carpet, yep. Yeah. And I think it was the Saints.

469
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 5: You know, I watch as you guys know, I watched

470
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 5: the opponents games more to get a feel for just

471
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 5: a general feel for rather playing and obviously to be

472
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 5: able to identify them when they're out in the field,

473
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 5: so it's more second nature. I think it was the

474
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 5: Saints who recovered an on side kick against the Dolphins.

475
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: So it is, you know, it's.

476
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 5: Gone from something that was you know, you could use

477
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 5: it as a weapon Bill Cower, right, you know, come

478
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 5: out and eat the surprise onside kick and all these

479
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 5: other things, and you can't do that anymore.

480
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: You have to announce it.

481
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,959
Speaker 5: But I do think that it's it's, you know, a

482
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 5: play that seemed to become academic because the surprise element

483
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 5: was taken out of it. But now you're right, ran

484
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, the kickers are found different ways

485
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 5: to try to give their team an opportunity to recover those.

486
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 2: Of those kicks.

487
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 4: Well, they showed the draft clock quite a bit last

488
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 4: night during the television broadcast. But this just in from

489
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 4: ESPN's Dave Wilson. If the Steelers were hoping and landing

490
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 4: the next Manning, they're gonna have to wait another year,

491
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 4: as Arch Manning has declared he's going back to Texas for.

492
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty six campaign.

493
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how much of a surprise that is

494
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 4: or not, but or if they would have even gone

495
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 4: in that direction. But I kind of think Aaron Rodgers

496
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 4: is gonna come back and play another year right now.

497
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see, we'll see, you know.

498
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that's that's Aaron's gonna have a

499
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 5: lot to say about that, And I don't know what

500
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 5: he's gonna say about that, and probably the playoff run

501
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 5: and what they do that might have something to say

502
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 5: about that as well. I will tell you this, I

503
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 5: mean again, with a couple of exceptions, I just think

504
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 5: he's looked outstanding.

505
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: I didn't think he'd stay healthy this long.

506
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: Well, the offensive line's done a good job.

507
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 5: And the other thing is is he just he for

508
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 5: the most part, knows how to get rid of the football,

509
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 5: you know, knows how to avoid those hits.

525
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: Mike Sports. This I brought to you by bridgevilt Plants.

526
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was in command again last night in the

527
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: Steelers twenty eight fifteen victory over the Dolphins. That's two

528
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: in a row for the Steelers and the arrow seems

529
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: to be pointing up. But what really seemed to get

530
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: Rogers's attention was how well Kenneth Gainwell played. Again.

531
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's truly every game. I think the

532
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 6: run that he had thirty eight yards, I believe on

533
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 6: just as simple inside his own week, just his vision.

534
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 6: It's just fun to watch, you know. I can't tell

535
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 6: you exactly what I call him every week because there's

536
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 6: some expletives in there. But I love playing with him,

537
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 6: I really do. I mean, he is as smart as

538
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 6: they come. He is super smart, and I still cannot

539
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 6: believe what we got him for. I told him a

540
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 6: long time ago my goal was to get him paid

541
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 6: because I've been a fan of his since he was

542
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 6: in Philly and thought that every time he win the game,

543
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 6: something good happens. And just to be able to play

544
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 6: with him and the type of guy that he is. Man,

545
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 6: I can't say enough good things about Kenny. Every single game,

546
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 6: it seems like he comes up with impactful plays and

547
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 6: makes guys miss and catches the ball.

548
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: I mean I was telling.

549
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 6: I think it was Marquez on the sideline. I just

550
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 6: like one of the most impressive things is to watch

551
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 6: us SEC on Friday practice run just do Pat and Godrill,

552
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 6: which is just an over the shoulder drill. He's as

553
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 6: fluid as anybody on the team catching the football. And

554
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 6: again for a guy that's making damn near vet minimum,

555
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 6: he's been a tremendous asset to our team this year.

556
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 4: Well, King Or, we were just singing his praises, and

557
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 4: I think that Aaron Rodgers is going to succeed in

558
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 4: his quest to get Kenneth Gainwell paid.

559
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 2: Good for him, man, I love that.

560
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 5: You know, we all meet an Aaron Rodgers at our corner, right,

561
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 5: I mean, how good is that? If you're Kenneth Gainwell

562
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 5: and game has been that good? He you know, when

563
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 5: called upon, he's been excellent. And even in the role

564
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 5: he's filled, he's been excellent.

565
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, fourth game over one hundred yards from scrimmage for

566
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: Gamewell last night he had eighty rushing in forty six receiving.

567
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: In those receiving yards seven catches on seven targets. His

568
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: cap hit is just under one point eight million per year.

569
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: His base salary's one million, one hundred and seventy thousand.

570
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: He also got a six hundred and twenty thousand dollars

571
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: signing bonus and an eighty eight hundred and twenty dollars

572
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: workout bonus.

573
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

574
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 5: How about Aaron Rodgers knowing how much he makes too?

575
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, unbelievable. You think Kenneth gave one might kill for him?

576
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 4: Now that's what he's gonna say.

577
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: That's such a good way to motivate.

578
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

579
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: And the leadership, Oh god, he loves me, he wants

580
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: me to have money. But I mean I mentioned those

581
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: one hundred yards from scrimmage games for gain, Well three

582
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: of them have come in the last five. So he's

583
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: getting better, not worse. And that thirty eight yard run

584
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: than he had he went through safety Ashton Davis. We

585
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: went through him. And that's how big runs happen. You

586
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: need the receivers to help block and get getting the

587
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: way downfield. But I can remember these to have a

588
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: play for bettis called boss and it was back on

589
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: strong safety. That's what they called it. Boss. We're blocking

590
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: everybody else. You got the strong safety. You got to

591
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: make him miss, right, And that's that's not uncommon in

592
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: a running play. And Kenneth Gangwell, boy, I just I

593
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: still can't believe he runs between the tackles. I thought

594
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,959
Speaker 1: he was going to be a special teamer and a

595
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: fringe contributor on the perimeter. Maybe one guy will line

596
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: up in a receiver position on third down and helped

597
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: fill the void there.

598
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 4: He's been outstanding. But I don't want to sell Jalen

599
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 4: Warren short because I think Jalen Warren has been also

600
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 4: tough as nails, and I think that him even playing

601
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 4: in that game as sick as he was last night

602
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 4: was quite an accomplishment. The only difference I saw on

603
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: him was the second effort that you usually see from him.

604
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 4: Didn't look like he quite had the energy that he

605
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 4: normally does.

606
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 2: There.

607
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: He was taking and absorbing some pretty big hits.

608
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 4: And going down where usually you can count on him

609
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 4: to spin off those every once in a while and

610
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 4: run through those. He makes guys miss a lot, and

611
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: he runs over guys a lot.

612
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: And Miami was playing physical defense. They really were. Didn't

613
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: lose interest immediately. Eventually, yes, but not immediately.

614
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 4: Twenty one nothing or twenty one three made it kind

615
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 4: of like, if we stop him here, and when they

616
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 4: got that taunting penalty, it was over.

617
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they just piled on from there. Cam

618
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: Heyward happy with the defense, but not ready after the

619
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: run had been stuffed to issue any defensive declarations.

620
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 2: We'll see.

621
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 8: You know, we got a lot of work to do,

622
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 8: and we got a lot in front of us, and

623
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 8: I loved the challenges there in front of us, and

624
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 8: I think our group does too.

625
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: Some snap count nuggets for you. Dk Metcalf led the

626
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver parade at seventy nine percent of the snaps.

627
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: Adam Thielen second again at fifty eight. He only had

628
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: one target in one catch. Marquez Valdez Scantling third among

629
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers in terms of how often he was deployed

630
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: fifty two percent of the offensive snaps. He had the

631
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: nineteen yard touchdown grab. Those guys are assimilating quickly, and

632
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: the more they play, the more they're gonna do, no question,

633
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: and feeling's the guys. He's not physical, but he doesn't

634
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: turn down his blocking assignment, particularly if he's in the slot.

635
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: He'll he'll find his guy getting the way and help.

636
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: He sticks his hand in that pile. And you saw

637
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: that Scantlet still knows how to catch touchdowns from Aaron

638
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: Rodgers Uh. Pat Fryarmouth Uh. Forty two percent of the

639
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: snaps last night, he had forty five receiving yards. In

640
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: his four previous games, he had forty seven. They got

641
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: to find a way to activate this guy more often, huh,

642
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: because he's a good player and they're wasting it. And

643
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: I get that. Yeah, I throw it to who's open

644
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: and all that. Sometimes sometimes you got to dial one

645
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: up for number eighty eight because he's not going to

646
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: let you down.

647
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 4: He's been pretty professional and he's handled it all too

648
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 4: very because you can see somebody being super pissed off

649
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 4: about getting paid and you know, being told basically you're

650
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 4: our guy, and then essentially being removed from the offense.

651
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,479
Speaker 7: He's like, you know, he has backup player stats. Wouldn't

652
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 7: you be madder though if you didn't get paid yet?

653
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: At least he got the money.

654
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

655
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: Also on the bench yeah check. Oh well I got

656
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: to go to the bank now. But I don't know.

657
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a competitor, he doesn't have that kind

658
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: of he cares they're they're wasting it. It's if you're

659
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: look at him for ways that they can still be better.

660
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: That would be one to get him involved more often

661
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: on the defensive side. Alex Highsmith, with no TJ. Watt,

662
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: played eighty eight percent of the defensive snaps, most he

663
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: had played since the opener against the Jets, when he

664
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: played eighty nine percent. Also Jack Sawyer a season high

665
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: fifty six percent and Bradon Eckels thirty four percent. The

666
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: nickel corner. They were in base a lot last night.

667
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: Even though they didn't have Watt and didn't have Harmon

668
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: and base base defense, the three down lineman did its job.

669
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 7: Speaking of competitive do you think Warren played because he

670
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 7: didn't want to be wally pipped.

671
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 4: I don't think he's worried about that so much, mostly

672
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 4: because I don't think they'll be able to keep gain

673
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 4: well next year.

674
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: I think that he is going to get paid.

675
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 4: But I think he's actually a tough dude, and when

676
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 4: you talk to Jalen Warren, he's impossible.

677
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: To not root for.

678
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 4: He's just a He's a good guy, and I think

679
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 4: that he handled last season great and a lot of

680
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 4: people wanted the offense to run through him last year,

681
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 4: and seeing it happen to the degree that it has

682
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 4: this year, I think he proved a lot of people

683
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 4: wrong who thought, oh no, he's just a complimentary back.

684
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 4: He is operating best as that, no doubt. But when

685
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 4: they have needed to lean on him and he's been

686
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 4: available for that, I don't think they've suffered.

687
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: Mike, you disagree. I'm not disappointed in him, but I'm

688
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: not sure still that he's.

689
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: A number one.

690
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: They don't use him enough. Well, is that because of

691
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: his size and they feel like you can't use them more?

692
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: Or are they missing the boat? I don't I don't

693
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: know what the answer to that question is. I'm adamant

694
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: they got to start getting the ball to friar Mouth regularly.

695
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: That guy can make place for you.

696
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 4: He's averaging four point two yards to carry jar the Syere.

697
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: That sounds high.

698
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 4: Look, chat Chibt doesn't lie, Mike. It's simply never wrong.

699
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 4: So I don't know how you can make that assertation.

700
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 4: There's no slop. Still not sure that he's the number

701
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 4: one back. When we come back from last night's postgame

702
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 4: show that Mike pursued us, it's alongside Charlie Batchfoor, We'll

Speaker 4: is here for us to enjoy. His reaction to as well,

705
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 4: apparently there were some people who were still not happy

706
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 4: last night, and that's gonna happen.

707
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:10,160

Speaker 4: the call of the postgame show. We always like to

721
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 4: have Mike highlight one of the calls from the postgame

722
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 4: show to hear what Steeler Nation was thinking postgame, because

723
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 4: I really think it gives you some good insight into

724
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: what a vast portion of Steeler fans have on their

725
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 4: mind after a game like last night's Monday Night football victory,

726
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 4: the twenty third straight.

727
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: On Monday night at home for almost incomprehensible streak. It's

728
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: Chuck Bull lost the last one. That's hilarious. Did did

729
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: he lose his last one? Is it all Coward and Tom?

730
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: Or there's Chuck Color came in ninety two? Maybe? Yeah?

731
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 4: All right, So this is from the post game, which

732
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 4: is once again helmed by our own Mike Pursuda and

733
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 4: Charlie Batch here on the Steelers Audio Network. And uh,

734
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 4: I'm guessing this was.

735
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: What one am something like that about twenty to one. Okay,

736
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: how come it's not playing there? Oh? I know what

737
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: a second? There you go a manual in Carnegie. Any guy,

738
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: Hey we got somebody. Thanks, thanks for hanging there.

739
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 10: There's there's still a post. And I was at the

740
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 10: ball game.

741
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, shut up, you're here.

742
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, it was worth it. It was It was cold,

743
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 10: but I ain't gonna lie. I was bundling up and

744
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 10: you know, on my way through the game, on my

745
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 10: way to the stadium, I decided to lower the windows

746
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 10: down so I couldn't kind of like get accustomed to

747
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 10: the weather. Because I knew it was going to be cold.

748
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 10: I lowered my windows down, turn off the heat in

749
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 10: a cold car. I was crazy, but it was worth

750
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 10: It was a great win, and I just want to

751
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 10: do this. I haven't done this in a while, but

752
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 10: stand an ovation to the sellers.

753
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you. Have you ever driven somewhere with

754
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: your with your car windows down and tried to make

755
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: yourself cold, to be prepared to be cold? Because anything

756
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: I've ever heard before.

757
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 10: Honestly, at eight ten degrees outside you you know, hey,

Speaker 9: thinking about coming into a game, how should you prepare?

763
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 9: I'm sorry, dress for the weather like that. I mean,

00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 9: But you have a lot of people wondering or maybe

781
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 9: didn't show up the day because it was cold. But

782
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 9: the people who were here, they were into the game

783
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 9: and it was just a beautiful thing to watch.

784
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with Charlie on that one and

785
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 4: king her. It was cold, and sitting at home you

786
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 4: might have lost sight of that throughout the game, just

787
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 4: how cold it was. I don't think to a lost

788
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 4: sight of that. But a good showing from the Steelers

789
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 4: fans last night, and hey, Renegade got off without being booed,

790
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 4: how about it?

791
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: Now?

792
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: About that?

793
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was good, I mean good stuff, and Steelers

794
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 5: fans showed up as we expected to do. I know,

795
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 5: my son was at the game, bundled up and blankets

796
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 5: and everything, and he and his buddies were all cheering

797
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 5: and yelling and.

798
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 2: Out there with his girlfriend Natalie. They were very cold.

799
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 2: She was a trooper. They were all troopers, and they

800
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 2: got into it.

801
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 4: Man.

802
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 2: The towns were waving and they got up at the

803
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 2: right time.

804
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 5: I mean, it felt like a communal effort out there

805
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 5: in some ways.

806
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: I was very curious how that crowd was going to respond.

807
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 4: Well, I think that that first half was not the

808
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 4: most exciting half of football now, and they were in

809
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 4: danger of losing the home field advantage or at least

810
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 4: what it could have been had they not come out

811
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 4: the way they did in the second half.

812
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: But I think well the touchdown at the end of

813
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: the second quarter helped too. Yeah, at least everybody went

814
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: the halftime they were winning, great point. Yeah, I think

815
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: that that could have turned ugly.

816
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 4: Again, Oh if it would have been if the first

817
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 4: half or the second half mirror the first half. I

818
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 4: don't know how happy people would have been to hear

819
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 4: renegade or anything at that point. But I think offensively,

820
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 4: just seeing them get into the rhythm that they were

821
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 4: able to and whether or not that that was the

822
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 4: eighty five Bears defense that they were going against last night, Kinger,

823
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 4: you know, the confidence that that fan was talking about,

824
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 4: I think the team is definitely feeling it. Look, the

825
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 4: Dolphins had some confidence coming off a four game winning

826
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 4: streak and then got stomped on in the freezing cold

827
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 4: in Pittsburgh last night, And I think after these two games,

828
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 4: it's a little different for the Steelers, the confidence that

829
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 4: they're gleaning from beating the Ravens and then the Dolphins

830
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 4: to kind of stop their you know, comeback bid to relevance.

831
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 4: And some of it has to do with the personnel.

832
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: And I do think that mvs.

833
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 4: And Peland have a little bit of an effect on

834
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 4: the offensive side of the ball. And seeing that you

835
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 4: lose two of your best defensive players and you can

836
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 4: still basically shut down an AFC offense has got to

837
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 4: give them a little vote of confidence going into this

838
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 4: stretch of three games that will determine the postseason.

839
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, their defense would be giving up the Dolphins thirteen

840
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 5: point three points per game during your winning streak, So

841
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 5: they were doing a lot of things right. So I

842
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 5: don't I don't want to pooh pooh the victory because

843
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 5: it's a Dolphins team that was playing well. Yeah, no, no, no,

844
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 5: I And you know they were desperate. They had to

845
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 5: win that game to stay alive in the playoffs. They

846
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 5: had to win it, and the Steelers took it to them.

847
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 5: And I agree with you, Randy, I think this is

848
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 5: this two game stretch might be the best two game

849
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 5: stretch they played this season. I think that you know

850
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 5: there were things that needed to be short up, coming

851
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 5: out after halftime and playing better football that appears over

852
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks to have been short up.

853
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 5: You know, Aaron Rodgers is playing top level football. They

854
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 5: showed last night that they're capable of doing a good

855
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 5: job against the run.

856
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 2: Now let's get Derek Harmon and TJ.

857
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 5: Watt back out there as soon as possible and do

858
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 5: an even better job against the run.

859
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 2: They'll be challenged this week against the Lions.

860
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 5: You know, this would be an interesting test against Detroit,

861
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 5: But it feels like, you know, maybe the Steelers have

862
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 5: positioned themselves and are hopefully playing their best football at

863
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 5: a time of the season in which you want to

864
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 5: be playing your best football. You would rather be the

865
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 5: Steelers right now than say, Tampa Bay, a team that

866
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 5: was number one in all the power rankings and early

867
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 5: on in the season, and look at we got a

868
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 5: Super Bowl contender here. Now they're seven and seven in

869
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 5: fighting just to make the playoffs.

870
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,239

00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 7: just shot it last yesterday. And two for talking is

902
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 7: going on? And what's your solution? How do you stop this?

903
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 7: How do they stop blowing third period.

904
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 4: Leads that that seem insurmount deep playing?

905
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 7: Don't sit back? And then six on five attack the puck?

906
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 7: How can we be good? How can we have a

907
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 7: top five penalty kill? And six on five we all

908
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 7: stand around? That's some pucks go off, shins, people get

909
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 7: in the way, attack the puck.

910
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 4: All right, Joe Bartneck there, Uh, that's it for us tomorrow,

911
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 4: edit it tonight.

912
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: Correct.

913
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 7: They are playing tonight, so I don't think they're gonna

914
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 7: have a three goal lead against Jesus and Leo, so

915
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 7: we won't have to worry about it.

916
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: Joy probably wins you shoot out tonight. Is that? Oh?

917
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 7: Well, this is my game. I will take the loser

918
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 7: point of all the games. I'll be happy with a

919
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,160

00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 12: Night football against the Dolphins, triumphing twenty eight to fifteen

939
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 12: over Miami, and the game wasn't even as close as

940
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 12: that score. Let's on Miami opened the scoring twenty four

941
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 12: minutes into the game, but then Pittsburgh ripped off twenty

00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 12: eight straight points en route to victory. Aaron Rodgers led

943
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,719

945
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 12: seven passes for two touchdowns and two hundred and twenty

946
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 12: four yards through the air.

947
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: Rodgers had a.

948
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 12: Healthy compliment of running the football as well on offense,

949
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 12: rushing thirty two times for one hundred and thirty five

950
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 12: yards as a team and finding the end zone via

951
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 12: the ground twice. Defensively, the Steelers completely shut down a

952
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 12: put in Miami rushing attack that was averaging one hundred

953
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 12: and ninety two yards over their previous four games. Miami

954
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 12: only managed to rush for sixty three yards on sixteen

955
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 12: carries against the Steelers defense, and the Dolphin offense managed

956
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 12: only two third down conversions the entire game. The win

957
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 12: improved the Steelers to eight and six on the season

958
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 12: and maintains their one game lead over Baltimore in the

959
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 12: AFC North. The Steelers now face a short week, as

961
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 12: straight wins.
