Speaker 2: Yeah. Did you go to the Dolphins game last night?

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,240

00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,320

00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: It's time to talk to him about these Pictsburgh Steelers.

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know game. I'm I'm real.

28
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 4: Ravens look undead now, they like they did la Mar

29
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 4: Jackson is Michael Jackson and thriller when he turns into

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: a zombie. He's back through four touchdowns last night. I

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 4: don't like it.

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was there was nothing good. If you're a

33
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: Steelers fan watching what happened down in in South Beach,

34
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: and you know, I feel like I can kind of

35
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: talk myself into I talked to wilmerd dings own Kent

36
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 3: Brown a couple of days ago, and he said, he's like,

37
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: come on, man, you know what's gonna happen. He's like,

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: this is a Tomlin special. This is what he does.

39
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: You know he's gonna this is the kind of game

40
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 3: he wins. And he seduced me into it. And I'm

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: willing to say right now, I absolutely can see the

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: Steelers winning this game.

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: We all can, all of us think this is going

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: to happen. Not tangibly. It's just the Tomlin thing. No,

45
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 4: that they're not supposed to win. There's no area where

46
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 4: they have the advantage.

47
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: And yes, zero empirical evidence that they will win this game.

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: But just because we've seen this fish before, we know

49
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And then what like what I

50
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: predicted was going to happen, was we were going to

51
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: go all the way to the end of the season,

52
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: like you know, win one, lose one. You know, lose

53
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: the game you shouldn't win the one. You should lose

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: the game you should win, win the game you shouldn't,

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: and then it'll be us against the Dolphins, and we

56
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: have to win that game in order to have a

57
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: chance to stay in contention, and they'll thump us.

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, that'll be perfect. You know, Like I say,

59
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 3: as we as we sit here, I'm fifty one percy,

60
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a toll and special. They're gonna beat

61
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: the Coats. Then the other side of it is, there's

62
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 3: no reason based on what we've seen that they're going

63
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: to I mean, did we talked about it last week

64
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: that they lost the game that decrepit Joe Flacco.

65
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: In the interim yes, yeah, we did talk about that

66
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: they got.

67
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: In the interim, they got housed by the Green Bay Packers,

68
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: when everything leading up to that game was all about

69
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: that this is this is the game. Well, Aaron didn't.

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: He said it was not he didn't care. It didn't

71
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: make it.

72
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: It was not a big person play.

73
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: He didn't care. I suspect it might have been had

74
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: they won the game. But either way, they they got

75
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: whipped and it had nothing to do with Aaron and

76
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: had nothing to do with the offense. Once again, which

77
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: is fine. It's not like it's, you know, the idea

78
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: that now we're having these discussions. It's not a top

79
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: three in the league offense. Let's not get nuts everybody,

80
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: but no, but with.

81
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: A historic defense, that offense should have been more than adequate.

82
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: The offense, well, Aaron Rodgers is the least of our worries.

83
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: And the fact that you say they got whipped by

84
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: the Packers when they were leading going into the fourth

85
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: quarter is like unimaginable to me that Mike Tomlin's defenses

86
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: are breaking down this much in the fourth quarter.

87
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 4: Did you see Williamson? I was just about to bring

88
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 4: that up. That is the most alarming stat I've seen

89
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 4: about this defense.

90
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: Is it seventy four percent? Now it's forty seven percent.

91
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 4: Of the points scored against the Steelers are in the

92
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 4: fourth quarter.

93
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: Wow, I did not see that, and that's that's gross.

94
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm sure people of a certain age remember,

95
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: you know, you don't have to go back to you know,

96
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 3: the days at Chaz No. Remember Cower had that crazy

97
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: stat like up by eleven, never loses. I think ended

98
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: up maybe losing one or two. But I mean that

99
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: was basically standard that if they got up eleven points,

100
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: the game was over and it's a different air and

101
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 3: all that, and so you should ask to risk it.

102
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: But nevertheless, the uh, you know, they're up at the

103
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: half by nine, and I saw I was, you know,

104
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 3: scrolling around, and I saw some screen grab that I

105
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: had completely forgotten. Right before the end of the third quarter,

106
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: the Stealers were up nineteen seventeen still and the game

107
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: was such a blowout in real time, like twenty minutes later,

108
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 3: it's it's hard to fathom, and you know it. You

109
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 3: hear Tucker Kraft right after the game. By the way,

110
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: can I just say very quickly like to be a

111
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: curmudget here on Halloween. Another thing I'm a curmudget about

112
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 3: is aw up, don't just stop with the asking me

113
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 3: to put on a costume. All right, okay, okay, I

114
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: just I just stopped bugging me about it. Everybody, what's

115
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: your costume?

116
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 5: Yeah?

117
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 3: Because I want to listen. I got dulled up when

118
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: I was eleven years old. I'm not eleven anyway. This

119
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: this this delusional kind of like infantaalizing of people that

120
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: Tucker crafting for.

121
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: It was nice. Did you hear?

122
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: It was National tight Ends Day?

123
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: Everybody?

124
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: Oh my god, National tight Ends Day. Who gives a craft?

125
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 3: But what is the what do we have to honor

126
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: a non existent thing like a holly?

127
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: It was?

128
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: It was National National tight Ends Day.

129
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 6: So we got you an award.

130
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 3: We got Yeah, I'm so proud of all the other.

131
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 6: Tight ends.

132
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 3: Vomitous and anyway, also bombitous Tucker craft like into a

133
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: microphone and then they repeat something that during the during

134
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: the broadcast, they also said, which is like, hey Packers,

135
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: we've got to come out here.

136
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: We've got to bully the bully.

137
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: Who are you talking about the Steelers or bullies? The

138
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: Steelers almost lost to Justin Fields in Week one. I

139
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: mean to the Jets. They gave up thirty. This is

140
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: not a one off or a two off. This is

141
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: all season long. This defense is bad.

142
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: Remember we thought the Jets were a juggernut that week.

143
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: We're like, dude, we messed up getting rid of Justin Field.

144
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if they put on our defense, holy cow,

145
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: they must be good. Now.

146
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 4: The Steelers from a bully standpoint, are George Foreman when

147
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 4: he was hawking Dorito's like at one point, maybe, but

148
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: now it's weird to get in the ring and try

149
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 4: to box George Foreman.

150
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: I remember when George Foreman lost his last fight where

151
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: he he should have won and he got screwed, and

152
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: Larry Merchant ran in the ring and he was apoplectic

153
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: on behalf of George Foreman and he's like, I can't

154
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: believe you just got screwed like that. George's like, that's fine,

155
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't care. I want to tell you about something

156
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: I have coming out and you and I he did.

157
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: That's exactly he announced, George Foreman.

158
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 4: Grill, he don't lose the boat because the boat is

159
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 4: going to catch all the greeds.

160
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: They lose the boat. Now, they needed to.

161
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: Have a boat something that like flipped out because that thing, Yeah,

162
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: everybody lost it and he got mangled in the dishwasher too.

163
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: The boat would always like warm.

164
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 3: Well. But the difference, Crawford, is that with that, with that,

165
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: the otherwise keen analogy is is that Michael Moore Pittsburgh

166
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 3: Zones found out that that that the old man could

167
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: if he got lucky, he could with one punch, he

168
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: could turn your lights out. I buy. That's why I

169
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: think what everybody's riding with with the Steelers this Sunday

170
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: and will be all through the rest of the season,

171
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: because I mean they're I mean, it's on one hand

172
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 3: that the Tale of Two Cities. I know everybody has been,

173
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: including me, like man, the Ravens might be in some troubles,

174
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: they don't get healthy because you can't get that deep

175
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: in a hole and just dig yourself out. Well, they

176
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: transcended those injuries and look at what their next six

177
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: or eight weeks looks like. There's not a loss on

178
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 3: the board. They might slip up somewhere along the way,

179
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: but they're about to go on a heater here and

180
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: the Steelers are about to do the opposite, and everybody's expecting, like, well,

181
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: let's get them a George Foreman special, just that one

182
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: punch Laydon and reverse everything around. Maybe we'll get that.

183
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like this, like Tucker Krab, like

184
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: we bullied the bully. It's like you're fighting George Foreman

185
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five, and I think we know where

186
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: George Forman is now. So let me ask you this,

187
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: even the grill anymore.

188
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this.

189
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: When you see stories like the report yesterday that Jerry

190
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,119
Speaker 1: Dulac had floated the notion that ownership is not necessarily

191
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: angry but frustrated and a little bit, uh kind of

192
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: fed up with Mike Tomlin, do you think ownersh it

193
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: floats that stuff to kind of give some red meat

194
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: to the masses, or do you anticipate that this might

195
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: really be it? Because I was thinking going into this year,

196
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: if this goes bad, this is it for Tomlin.

197
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: Reputation be damned.

198
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: And it does feel like the national media has picked

199
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: up on the sentiment that Steeler fans have had for

200
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: a few years.

201
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is I hear what you're saying. I'll defer

202
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: to you on the on the rhythm sincerely of Pittsburgh

203
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 3: and what the underlying meaning is Bowman. I'll always defer

204
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 3: to you on that stuff. You have the best sense

205
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 3: for that sort of thing. Is how maybe the Steelers

206
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 3: would want something out there and all of that kind

207
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: of thing. I don't know. I'm not caging.

208
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: I definitely I don't have any knowledge of that. I'm

209
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: actually I wonder if if that's something they might do

210
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: to me.

211
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 4: It makes sense because this what I'm hearing, at least,

212
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 4: the groundswell of the Tomlin haters have has been there

213
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: really for the better part of it decade. But now

214
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 4: that he is wafting up to the owner's suite yet

215
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 4: and they're saying, well, if you don't make this change

216
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 4: that we all have been asking for for eight years,

217
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 4: then you're the problem.

218
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: And if you start questioning ownership now he's like, wait

219
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: a minute, yeah, pushing on it.

220
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 4: I've been trying to do everything I can to make

221
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 4: this guy's plan work.

222
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: And the conduit I think up to that owner's box

223
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: that you're talking about is when the former players who

224
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: who played on all the great teams start questioning what

225
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: the hell is going on? Yep, with great regularity, there's

226
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: been some speckles here and there over the last few

227
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: years of like, hey, what is Tomlin doing? But now

228
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: you go back, they're gonna be celebrating that Super Bowl

229
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: forty team one Sunday. A lot of those guys are

230
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: not real big fans of what's going on right now.

231
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 3: Right and they're yeah, they're not Yeah, they're not seventy

232
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: eight years old. They're they're you know, James Harrison still

233
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: looks like James Harrison.

234
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: And did you see his podcast it this past weekend.

235
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's like when he yeah, when when

236
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 3: it's sort of like, oh, the Steelers, the Steelers defense

237
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: my Tom I'm uh, Debo is kind of like, don't

238
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: put that stink on me, don't you put that evil

239
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: on me. That's not the Pittsburgh Steelers. They don't want

240
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 3: the negative association. And as far as that goes, I

241
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: think it is spiritually the same thing we're talking about

242
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: here with the Rooney family, which is I think that

243
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: you know, it's a straw man the single like what

244
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 3: what a Steelers fans what they want him to They

245
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: want to fire Mike tom in mid season, like no,

246
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: I mean, nobody's insane. Whether nobody thinks they should fire

247
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 3: him before the Colts game, but at the end of

248
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: the season. And by the way, it makes some football

249
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: sense in the in the flow of the never ending

250
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: football season, which is that you're presumably transitioning into a

251
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: new era with a rookie quarterback that you're going to

252
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: take in twenty twenty six, So it would make sense

253
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: to make that change from from that standpoint two. But

254
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: in the meantime, I think that what you're getting at

255
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: is is that this this, you know, the Steeler's lore

256
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: and all of that, and and Art too understands that.

257
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: And for all the talk about, you know, if they fired,

258
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 3: if they got rid of Mike Tomlin, he'd get hired

259
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 3: five minutes later, the Steelers better realize that. I don't

260
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 3: think it's that exactly. It is like a the metaphor

261
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 3: of of a of a Jenga tower that has endured

262
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: for decades and decades and has and has been pristine.

263
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 3: It's the never ending, never never crumbling Jenga tower of

264
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 3: knowl that. You know, Art and Dan picked jazz Nole,

265
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: then then Dan picks uh Car, then he picks Tomlin,

266
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 3: and they're on a heater. They're on a decade long

267
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 3: like an improbable half century long streak of never missing.

268
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: So if you remove Tomlin and you hire someone like

269
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: Adam Gasee, you know, like what if you hire the

270
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: hot oc out there, one of the hot o seas well,

271
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: he's an impressive young man and he'll be here for

272
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 3: the next thirty years himself, and he turns out to

273
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 3: be like I say, Adam gaze or otherwise, and you

274
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 3: have to you have to knock him off. You're knocking

275
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: yourself off too. You're you're destroying the Jenga tower established

276
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: by you, by your family, and that's got to spook him.

277
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: And I completely understand that, Like, I don't want to

278
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 3: mess with this. It's not oh, Tomlin might get hired

279
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: and win elsewhere. It's like what if I hired a

280
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 3: guy who immediately goes one in one in sixteen.

281
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 4: Right, they're batting one thousand since nineteen sixty nine.

282
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: You don't want to screw that up?

283
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, you don't. That's exactly right. In Little League,

284
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: everybody's getting the hit off the bump, second pitcher on

285
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: the second game of the of the week.

286
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I say, you don't want to be the

287
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: coach that replaces the legend. You want to be the

288
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: wach that replaces the coach that replace the legend.

289
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: Right.

290
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: Sort of like that, yeah, that's right.

291
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: Uh, but winning is tied to all this, right, Like

292
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: if if you're not winning, stability that's that's the Bengals

293
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 4: with Marv Lewis. I mean, it doesn't actually amount to anything.

294
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 4: The whole key for these guys was super Bowls and

295
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 4: they all have one or more. You know, obviously Chuck

296
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 4: has the most. But if you don't win, what's what

297
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 4: does the stability matter?

298
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: It is a weird but with all the talk like

299
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: self imposed again, the same thing as like historic defense

300
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: you said it, and same thing about like the standard

301
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: is the standard? You said it? And the standard is

302
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: now something akin to what the Bengals have, which is like, hey,

303
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 3: they're always in the mix, you know, like, hey, got

304
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: to give them credit there there. He keeps them in

305
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: the fight. And you know, Cam Hayward is one of his,

306
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 3: uh his students of spreading. It's like, I'm Cam Hayward,

307
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: the captain of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cam Hayward's going to

308
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 3: the Hall of Fame and he's talking to microphones about it.

309
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: We just got to try harder, we said, we gotta

310
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 3: try harder, We got to care more. Like what the

311
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers this is that that's a weird if you

312
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: listen to that message, think about what he's saying. I mean,

313
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: the Chiefs are talking about like, boy, that we're hard

314
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: to handle with Rashid Rice in there, because then we

315
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: have Xavier Worthy taking the top off and Trauvis Kelsey's

316
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: looking pretty we you know, we do some interesting things

317
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: with our formations that give the ball to this guy

318
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: to say, we've got to try harder. We don't know,

319
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 3: we don't know where we're supposed to stand.

320
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: We don't know where, we don't know who the two shots.

321
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: You know that I think that everyone thinks about with

322
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: the defense right now is Jamar Chase running free with

323
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: the game on the line, running free with the game.

324
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 4: Allison running free up the ones, running completely free in

325
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 4: running wild Watson.

326
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: That's the one that that you know where it's the

327
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: jump ball that hung up for five seconds and there's

328
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: just nobody there in Chuck Clark flailing you know, Uh,

Speaker 1: supposed to seduce us.

332
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 4: I thought you had been seduced, and you were gonna

333
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 4: then seduce us and past the same.

334
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,439

Speaker 1: past the Colts somehow this Sunday and get the right.

362
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 2: You're looking at me like, so you're looking at me like.

00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, turn those down down down to the game, and

366
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 8: I'm rooting our guys on a one o'clock Sunday game

367
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,720

368
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,760

Speaker 4: You're guy, You're ever gonna get right You can't ignore

375
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 4: or look past this team.

376
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: Because they're legit.

377
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 5: This isn't like, ah, they're seven to one, but it's flawed,

378
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 5: and they're not that good.

379
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 2: They're they're all that they're they're all that well.

380
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: Thankfully, the defense is firing on all cylinders right now,

381
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: so be able to stop this moon freight train.

382
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 5: It absolutely is sports. This hour brought to you by

383
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 5: Bridgeville plais That Steelers defense has been scorched in consecutive games,

384
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 5: but defensive coordinator Terrell Austin and that side of the

385
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 5: ball are staying the course from a preparation standpoint and

386
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 5: a procedure standpoint, which means head coach Mike tom is

387
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 5: gonna be a big part of that preparation and process.

388
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 9: He's part of the defense obviously, and he's always been

389
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 9: part of it, and it's nothing's changed in that regard.

390
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 9: We go through our weeks, we plan, he's in all

391
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 9: the meetings, all those things, and so there's really no

392
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 9: change in terms of how we work together as a staff.

393
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 5: Austin will remain the defensive play call against the Colts,

394
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 5: except in those instances when he's not.

395
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 9: It's the same since since I've been in this chair,

396
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 9: I'm calling it, and if Mike wants to call something,

397
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 9: he calls it, and that's how we roll.

398
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: I mean, that's how it's been.

399
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how you can even criticize

400
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: the defensive call playing if these guys don't know what

401
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: they're doing. Ever, you can't criticize the play calls if

402
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: they can't execute what's on the field. You see them

403
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: pointing around and being confused all the time. Maybe it

404
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: was the perfect call. They don't know how to run them.

405
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's something amiss in the process. I don't think

406
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 5: the players all stink, but they break down.

407
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 2: They're not playing together.

408
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 5: I don't think the schemes are bad, but they break down.

409
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: They should just all play Madden because everyone online seems

410
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: to think they all know defense because of playing Madden.

411
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: And maybe if they did that together, they'd all be

412
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: able to have the same lingo and talk back and forth.

413
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: Because whatever they're doing right now, they are completely confused

414
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: all the time. The secondary is a mess, the middle

415
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: linebackers are a.

416
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 5: Mess, and all the time it's just on huge plays

417
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 5: and then it's snowballs.

418
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 4: It's snowballs because somebody is out of you know position

419
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 4: on one play, and then his teammate is trying to

420
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 4: compensate for that, and then he's out of position, and

421
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 4: then it just it.

422
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: It's snowballs on them.

423
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 5: And then you throw in the especially on the defensive line.

424
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 5: They do that the stuff we saw against Green Bay.

425
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 5: Those two throw it up down the middle and Hope

426
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 5: passes from Jordan Love that changed the game.

427
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: Somebody got to make a play there. It's just it's

428
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: just that simple.

429
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: And when you know, you see what happens now, you

430
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 5: can't let that stuff defeat you the way they did.

431
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 5: They just kind of fell apart thereafter. But I don't

432
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 5: know what the answer is against the NFL's number one

433
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 5: offense in terms of yards and points. I think it's

434
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 5: gonna have to be scoring more points. Well, I have

435
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 5: the solution make the field even worse. Yeah, well, I

436
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 5: mean they're gonna, they're gonna they need to do some

437
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 5: stuff too, And I think this is let the.

438
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: Groundhogs have their way over the weekend, dig lots of tunnels,

439
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: have people turn ankles.

440
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 5: It's funny because the Steelers offense is averaging twenty five

441
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 5: points a game. It's tied for eleventh in the league.

442
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 5: I mean, this is we haven't been here in a

443
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 5: long long time. Offensively, it's it's adequate. It's ahead of

444
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 5: the middle of the pack.

445
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: Yep, it's just off the top ten.

446
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 5: It's it's eight points off the eight point eight points

447
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 5: off the pace. Indianapolis's is setting uh is leading.

448
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: The league with it seems like a lot, but they

449
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: are on fire. So yes, but we're.

450
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 5: Just not paint any attention because the defense is so bad.

451
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 5: Ye know, nor should we be. But my point is,

452
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 5: you get just a little more out of this offense.

453
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 5: He came metcalf. Doesn't let the guy the ball out

454
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 5: of his hands for for an interception that should be

455
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 5: a completion. Don't drop the one in your hands in

456
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 5: the end zone, you know, don't don't do some of

457
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 5: the things they've done that have left points on the field.

458
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: And don't let the coach off the hook for not

459
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: going forward on fourth down when you should. A lot

460
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: of the reason why these offenses in the NFL are

461
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: putting up the numbers so they are is because the

462
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: game has changed and they go forward on fourth down

463
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: when percentages dictate you do. I'm not a huge analytics

464
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: guy in terms of you have to. But he's the

465
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: last in the league in going for it when statistically

466
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: they say you should.

467
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 5: And the Raiders are second, and they stick you can't.

468
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 5: But that's that's what I'm not going to buy this argument,

469
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 5: because if you can't block Aaron Donald, you can't block

470
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 5: Aaron Donald. But and but fourth and three one is

471
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 5: a lot harder than the analytics says.

472
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: When you're ripping off seven at a pitch in the

473
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: first half with Jalen Warren and you're afraid to keep

474
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: running him and you have a fourth and three right there,

475
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: you don't have something that you can get a fourth

476
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: to three and feel confident and put their defense on

477
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: their heels.

478
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: Well, here's my theory. That's what I'm saying.

479
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: Is part of the reason a lot of these just

480
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: because the Raiders s think what they're doing is out

481
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: of desperation.

482
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: The teams that are actually like you.

483
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: Just talked about how they're a top ten offense, the

484
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: Raiders are not.

485
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: They're doing it out of desperation. We should be doing

486
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: it out of because we can.

487
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 5: Well, I just you had a nerve with me when

488
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 5: you say when they should no, no, no, not say

489
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 5: decide should Okay, it's it's got to.

490
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: Be an in game decision.

491
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: Here's how I would, But I am agreeing with you

492
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: that it shouldn't be every time.

493
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: I just want I don't want you to think that.

494
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 5: I'm not going to look at a graph and say

495
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 5: that's how you run a football game, because this is

496
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 5: just and that's not how you run.

497
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 2: People completely agree.

498
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: However, circumstantially he refuses to consider it.

499
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 5: Well, what I would do starting Sunday, I don't mind

500
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 5: kicking field goals because Boswell's really good and really reliable.

501
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 5: Where I would start to look to go for it

502
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 5: would be about your own forty fourth and one, Damn

503
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 5: your own thirty eight. That's what I'm talking about, the

504
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 5: fifty yard line, Like, keep those drives going is what

505
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 5: I'm talking about. Okay, then we're on the same page.

506
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, I'm not.

507
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: Talking about on our own thirty five going for it.

508
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm talking about when it's fourth and three and you're

509
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: on their thirty.

510
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 5: Well no, but then that in that case, get the

511
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 5: points if the game is still manageable. I don't want

512
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 5: to pass up points to go for it you have

513
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 5: them backed up. But if I can extend the possession.

514
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 5: Then that's what they got to start seeing. Boswall is

515
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 5: going to start missing on this crappy field. And the

516
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 5: other thing is if you go for it, like around

517
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 5: your own forty, it's steal a Green Bay thing from

518
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 5: years ago when Tomlin on side kicked with the lead. Yeah, hey,

519
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 5: if they score, at least we'll get the ball back.

520
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: Quicker.

521
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Ran you you hated that they went for

522
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 4: it in Dublin.

523
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 2: Remember that was different circumstantially what I was.

524
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: I was not saying that, like if if percenta just

525
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: say you should go for it, you should. I was

526
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: saying they're last in the league in that, meaning they

527
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: never do. I'm not saying we need to lead the

528
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: league in it. I'm saying it needs to be considered

529
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: once in a while. Circumstantially, I disagreed with what they

530
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: did in Doublin, but against the Packers on that particular one,

531
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: that's when I thought they should have gone for it.

532
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a fair argument.

533
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 5: But I think it's got to be a possession by

534
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 5: possession analysis of it, and you got a factor in

535
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 5: what's working and what isn't.

536
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: How I totally agree with all that. How they are

537
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: literally last, meaning they never do.

538
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 5: I don't care. And you know what else goes forward

539
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 5: a lot teams that are losing.

540
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, you're we're we're dancing around the same argument.

541
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: My point is he never does. But when he complains

542
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: about the offense, he had an opportunity there in a

543
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: game that he knew was going to be a shootout,

544
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: and he's trying to win it by one point like

545
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: that ain't gonna happen?

546
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 5: Well, when when professional memory, what point of.

547
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: The game was that? I think Boswell already? I think

548
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 2: that was his third field goal.

549
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 5: Okay, so that put him up sixteen sevend that was

550
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 5: in the first half, or that put him up that

551
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 5: put him up nine to seven. I'll tell he took

552
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 5: the lead there, right. I mean, it's every situation is unique.

553
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 5: If you're doing it the right way, you can't.

554
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: It was his third field He had a fifty six yarder,

555
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: a fifty yarder and then the forty eight yard right,

556
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: So that was second quarter, yes, and that put him

557
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: up nine to seven.

558
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't have a problem with that.

559
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 4: And situationally, I didn't have a problem with what they

560
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 4: did in Dublin because they were trying to put the pedal.

561
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: Put to the metal into game away right there.

562
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 4: Put their cleats on their throat, and you know, tell

563
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 4: the special teams get the hell out of here. We

564
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 4: want this and I want my offense to feel that

565
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 4: right now. They didn't have to not cover Jordan Addison

566
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 4: on the ensuing drive and give up an eighty yard bomb.

567
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: And yet they did.

568
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: That's that's why I thought you didn't go for it there,

569
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: And I like, I don't feel super strongly about like

570
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: I see the argument in Dublin. My point is he

571
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: plays so conservatively all the time.

572
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 2: He is he is.

573
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 5: Oh well, that's what everybody says. I mean, do you

574
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 5: see them taking shots down the field. When Aaron Rodgers

575
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 5: has one on one, you see him more and more,

576
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 5: more and more calculated. It's not okay, we're gonna throw

577
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 5: nine bombs today because we're gonna be aggressive.

578
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 2: You've got to play the game.

579
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 5: And when Mike Tomlins had good quarterbacks, he's had offenses

580
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 5: at score points, when he's had Duck Hodges and Mitch

581
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 5: Trubisky and Kenny Pickett, he's been real conservatives because guess

582
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 5: what those guys are turnover machines that stink. I mean,

583
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 5: it doesn't. It doesn't happen on a graphic or in

584
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 5: a video game. You've got to play the game you're playing.

585
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 5: Probably right now is defense. It's not him being too conservative.

586
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: Probably probably the one is you you brought up there.

587
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 2: The problem is their defense stinks. Defense can't finish.

588
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 5: And I am at a loss to tell you why

589
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 5: that is. Because there's there's times in a game when

590
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 5: it plays well, and there's times in a game when

591
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 5: it looks like they've never practiced once.

592
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: So it's mostly in the fourth quarter. It's something.

593
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that is an alarming stat. Almost half of

594
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: the points that they've allowed a been in the fourth quarter.

595
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 5: My theory is it's either the way the message is

596
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 5: being the livered or the way the message is being

597
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 5: received not being received. Yeah, there's a there's a there's

598
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 5: a disconnect somewhere. They got to fix that. And and

599
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 5: you know, and then the try hard thing. I agree

600
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 5: one thousand percent with Damashek. I wrote my Pittsburgh magazine

601
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 5: Calm about that this week. When Cam Hayward comes out

602
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 5: and says we don't have enough fight after the seventh

603
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 5: game of a season, when you just got your ass kicked,

604
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 5: and you still have expectations and aspirations. Not enough, Hey,

605
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 5: we don't have enough corners, we don't have enough offensive lineman.

606
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: Okay, fine, you know what happens. Not enough fight.

607
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 4: Unacceptable, especially with the names on the back of the

608
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 4: jerseys when you collect this much talent, that's that's completely unacceptable.

609
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 2: We have Missy Matthews joining us after the break will

610
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: seduce us. She's going to have the positive spin. She will.

611
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: Calvin Austen the Third is joining us at eight a

612
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: m as well, and Mike has something to say before that.

613
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 5: You know, Randall, you can't win them all, not even

614
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 5: with bet Parks. But today's another day, and this weekend's

615
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 5: another weekend, and man, you can play just about any

616
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 5: game you want, and just about any sport that's playing

617
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 5: in just about any fashion imaginable with the bet Parks

618
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 5: sports booking, online casino app. The local hockey team is

619
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,080

Speaker 1: I was laughing because Mark Madden posted a picture he

644
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: went to see Robert Plant at that weird in music hall.

645
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: I thought it was West Banko, but okay, there that well.

646
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: At any rate, he took a picture of the guy

647
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: playing the stand up base and he's like, stand up

648
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: bass such a unique instrument.

649
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: Love this sound.

650
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: It's just funny to me because I mean, I go

651
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: to lots of shows where I would see that, but

652
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: Mark Mark doesn't probactly doesn't a lot of rock shows. Yeah,

653
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: and it's not good or bad. It's just funny to

654
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: me that like that stuck out to him, obviously, because

655
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: at the UFO concerted, it's probably not Yeah, when you

656
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: go to see Acidjurgals, nobody's playing there. No, But Mike

657
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: revealed that he played stand up bass as a youngster.

658
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: And you were in a bluegrass band?

659
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 5: Well band is? It was me and two friends of mine.

660
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 5: I played upright bass, one guy played banjo, one guy

661
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 5: played mandolin. And that's awesome on you know Bill Monroe

662
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 5: is of course I did a lot of his stuff,

663
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 5: father of Bluegrass, Will the Circle Be Unbroken?

664
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: And some of the twangy stuff, doing that nitty nitty

665
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 2: gritty dirt band era.

666
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 5: Because it's all like there's three keys to all that stuff.

667
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 5: I mean, it's not complicated. It's a players sing, but

668
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 5: you know what it was complicated?

669
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: Agree? But yeah to do well, yeah, it's.

670
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 5: Extremely You know what's complicated is moving the upright bass

671
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 5: from one home to another.

672
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 2: Played the harmonica. That is a pain in the rs.

673
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 5: Yes, almost enough that it really beats down your enthusiasm

674
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 5: to continue doing gigs.

675
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: Try playing a Hammond organ. All right, boredis and boredis

676
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: fighting for justice. Bringing our next guest to you, Missy

677
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: Matthews from the Steelers audio.

678
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: Now we're going miss how are you hi?

679
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: Guys?

680
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: I'm great.

681
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 6: I didn't know that either.

682
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: Isn't that great? It's an amazing fun fact.

683
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: Oh the letters to me that you guys have no idea?

684
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: He's slowly revealing it only takes twenty years. I've become

685
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: an incorrectly typecast. This is somewhat of a stereotypical compilation

686
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: of Oscar Madison.

687
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: But what is your inscription?

688
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 5: More meat on that boat?

689
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: Missy? Look this this game on Sunday.

690
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what the grass is gonna certainly won't

691
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: look blue on Sunday, but I hope the field is

692
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: in better condition. But maybe I don't. Maybe that's the

693
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: one thing that will slow down the Colts. I joked

694
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: about it earlier, but this is a jugger, not of

695
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: an offense coming in for Mike Tomlins defense at a

696
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: time when they're not exactly killing it.

697
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 6: Well, the grass is actually Kentucky bluegrass. And that's why

698
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 6: I know that I did a story on it a

699
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 6: long time ago about how they resaw the field and whatnot.

700
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 2: Sense a melia can play nine holes on it and

701
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 2: then get strown.

702
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will say maybe it will come into a

703
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 6: factor because the Colts have played five home games. They

704
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 6: played two games inside so far. So the only game

705
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 6: they've actually played outside in elements quote unquote elements was

706
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 6: Week three in.

707
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee and it was maybereeze that day, like they had

708
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: no web.

709
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 6: So, like, you know, maybe some good football weather in

710
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh will will help the Steelers out in terms of

711
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 6: slowing them.

712
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: Down, Like you said, I hope.

713
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: So, Uh, how do you think the defense responds to

714
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: a week where it has just been I mean they've

715
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: been dragged through the mud. Uh, And Mike Tomlin starts

716
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: a press conference by saying the offense had to be better,

717
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: which you know a lot of people didn't love that

718
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: that seemed to be his priority. I don't think it

719
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: is his priority. The offenses I think should be his priority.

720
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 1: What the offense, Yes, because you're saying be the Bengals

721
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: now and just try to outscore people.

722
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 2: Ye, steer into what you can know, but navigating.

723
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: But look, they make the move to bring in Kyle

724
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: Duggar and with the Elliot injury, now the secondary is

725
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: going to look a lot different.

726
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: Tell us what you think it's going to appear to

727
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 2: be on Sunday.

728
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know exactly what their configuration or scheme

729
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 6: is going to be, but I think it's not even

730
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 6: just like this week. You know, it's the previous week

731
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 6: on a Thursday night, having to wait nine days to

732
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 6: play again and then having the same situation happen. So

733
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 6: I think there's clearly a lot of frustration and want

734
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 6: to and hopefully this is the one that you know,

735
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 6: it's a you know, a taste of some bad medicine

736
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 6: that can help, especially when you know what the challenge

737
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 6: is coming in. I still go back to the Green

738
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 6: Bay game though, like in the first half, they were

739
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 6: they stopped the ball, like they were doing the things

740
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 6: that they wanted to do. It was just you had

741
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 6: to lead and then you gave it up. And I

742
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 6: do agree with Mike.

743
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 3: I don't.

744
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 6: I don't think coaches like, all right, I'm gonna mention

745
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 6: the offense first, because I care more about what the

746
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 6: offense is doing right or wrong.

747
00:35:59,520 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 2: I think.

748
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 6: I mean, he just he talks, you know, he he

749
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 6: it's like a preamble of everything that's like stuck in

750
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 6: his head as he sat in like a dark room

751
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 6: watching film for the press like twenty four hours. I mean,

752
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 6: he literally comes out of his hole is what's called

753
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 6: it where he watches film to go do that press conference.

754
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 6: It's probably the first time he's like seen daylight and

755
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 6: like actual.

756
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 5: People and see his shadow.

757
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 2: What's happened?

758
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 6: I know not but you know, Aaron Rodgers said it too,

759
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 6: like they can't settle for field goals and they were

760
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 6: barely in the red zone where they wanted to be,

761
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 6: and they had chances, and it was stupid penalties and

762
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 6: just things that you know, we typically have not seen

763
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 6: from the offense necessarily. I know her Big had a

764
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 6: penalty that you didn't like either. That's not the offensive fault,

765
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 6: but I feel personally, but I agree, But I feel

766
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 6: like at that point you knew that this this crew

767
00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 6: is just a mess.

768
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 2: Yes, they were meeting.

769
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 6: That's a penalty that they couldn't actually throw because they

770
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 6: didn't throw the flag in the first place. So like,

771
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 6: I don't know, I think you have to expect the

772
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 6: worst sometimes, you know, it just kind of is what

773
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 6: it is. Everybody in that stadium knew that that was

774
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 6: a free play, but those yes, and then they met

775
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 6: about it, but there was nothing they could do about it.

776
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: That was what was hilarious was that they decided to

777
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: have Like they're like, guys, you normally we wait to

778
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: review stuff till after the game. That was so bad.

779
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: I think we should talk about it right now. We

780
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: can't do anything about it.

781
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: But that was bad.

782
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: You're grounded just correcting a dog after he pooped on

783
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: the carpet, and what did you do?

784
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: Look what you did? What did you call? What did

785
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: you not call? The poop is there still? But we

786
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 2: can't even clean them.

787
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 6: So uh.

788
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: Offensively, though, I think they're like it's like the inverse,

789
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: they are finding another gear. They're getting better each week.

790
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: The offensive line. Look, whatever is going on with Broderick

791
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: Jones over there? You know, if they have to help

792
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: them or not. What they have going on is working

793
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: for them. The Sam Malu injury is a little bit

794
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: concerning though. How much does that affect the Jumbo package?

795
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 6: Well, I think it does a lot, But I do

796
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 6: think that they have other guys that can come in.

797
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 6: They're clearly going to know. I feel like going into

798
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 6: this game, if they have seventy three or not, and

799
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 6: Spencer Anderson obviously would fill in for him, and then

800
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 6: you have to decide is that Ryan McCollum. You know,

801
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 6: they have Andrea's pete. Who who's going to be the

802
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 6: quote unquote you know, mister eligible jumbo guy. Yeah, but

803
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 6: that's definitely not something they get away from. So I

804
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 6: don't think this isn't like how it happened in the

805
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 6: game where all of a sudden Isaac's out and he

806
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 6: did try to go back in, you know, he's just

807
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 6: that type of guy. But I think they were like, nah,

808
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 6: actually you're you're not We're taking you back out. So

809
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 6: they will have that figured out. And I do think,

810
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 6: you know, Jalen Warren has been doing good things, but

811
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 6: again it goes back to not having the most experienced

812
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 6: veteran offensive line on the field who happens to help

813
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 6: the center and a tackle. So we'll see what happens.

814
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 6: But I think that at least is something they can

815
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 6: plan for going in And I just think that if

816
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 6: there's a weak spot on the Colts team, it's their defense.

817
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 6: It's clearly not their offense. So Aaron Rodgers knows and

818
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 6: has seen everything, and I think hopefully that's something they

819
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 6: can exploit because if it has to be where the

820
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 6: offense is carrying the team, then that's what needs to happen.

821
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 6: I think we're all just so used to the defense

822
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 6: having to carry the team because we didn't know who

823
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 6: the quarterback was going to be or what they were

824
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 6: going to do. And it feels like right now it's

825
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 6: a little Warbers.
