1 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: Now the scene is set. 2 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 2: Now, the mood is right here, Nathan playing some Christmas 3 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,240 Speaker 2: tunes for us as we go to the phone lines 4 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 2: and we talk to our buddy Chris Adamski, He of 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: course hosts co hosts the Steelers Blitz with Tom Ofram 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 2: minute nude on the Steelers Audio Network has been covering 7 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: these Steelers for the trip for longer than a decade. 8 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: Buzz, thank you for taking the time. 9 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: Merry Christmas, Happy holidays, and let's jump right into it 10 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 2: with you here. Two game suspension came down yesterday for 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: DK Metcalf. That appeal process either is happening or is 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: going to happen sometime today. Do you have any inkling 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: of how that's gonna play out? Will it stick at 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: two games? Will they cut it back to one? Is 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: there any educated guess at this point or is it 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: truly just wait and see what happens. 17 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, the educated guess would be 18 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 3: that it would go to one, just because that's what 19 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 3: it's That seemed to be what people would think, and 20 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: it seems to be it's actually harder to find precedent 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 3: that you'd think of something like this. But one game 22 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 3: and we've seen in the past with the league has 23 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 3: dropped the game here or there. Now that's half the suspension. 24 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 3: But I think generally speaking all the way around from 25 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh and nationally and everybody thought two games, like wow, 26 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 3: two games, that's a lot. So you would think the 27 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 3: league kind of heads their bets here and just sort 28 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 3: of that, you know, you put it out there and 29 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: it looks like they're giving something back or whatever, So 30 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 3: you know that sounds a little bit cynical, I guess, 31 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: but you know, they probably always planning to end up 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: being one game at least that's the that's the way 33 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 3: it looks. But I guess we'll find out here, probably 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: within a few hours. 35 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 4: Chris, I'm sure you're aware of the insane run defense 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 4: splits with and without Derek Harmon on the field, and 37 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 4: I think most of our listeners are only to spell 38 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 4: out the numbers, but they're extreme. Is do you think 39 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 4: he's really that important or is it a little bit 40 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 4: fluky or I mean, what's your logic behind that he's 41 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 4: a good player but he's not Joe Green. 42 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny, didn't Mike Tommins sort of almost like 43 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 3: mock that today in some way play. 44 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 5: Really, you know, he wasn't. 45 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 3: I mean, somebody he said to me, I've read a 46 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 3: lot about the some of the numbers with Derek Harmon. 47 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 3: I don't know how he worried it, but he sort 48 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 3: of he kind of made fun of it and poked 49 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: fun at the idea that he was the missing or 50 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: the only piece of it or whatever. His point was 51 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: being the front seven in general, and he's trying to 52 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: be complimentary. I'm sure he in some ways wants to 53 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 3: keep a rookie, you know, rounded and everything like that. 54 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 5: I'm sure that was part of it. 55 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 3: But but you know, I'm sure when he's in his 56 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 3: uh he put it today tunnel vision that you know, 57 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: he might not have noticed this game or that game. 58 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: And it is a point though, where one thing the 59 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: numbers are so stark that you can't ignore it, right, 60 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: I mean to say it's just a coincidence or whatever. 61 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: It's really kind of slow and it's short. I mean, 62 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 3: it wasn't like a one game sample. So you get 63 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: hurt one game and they got one of Okay, well 64 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: you know maybe you played a real good runing. Yeah, 65 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 3: but then you and to a point if you can 66 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: go back to that because I remember the first game 67 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 3: was justin field and you had the the plus one 68 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 3: component there, and you know you had a good two 69 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 3: headed running back Tanam in week two when he was out, 70 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 3: and again you can go back week by week and 71 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 3: again kind of justified by saying, well, you played run 72 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: first teams and what what what Chicago is in there, 73 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: and you can just kind of you can parse it 74 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: that way and say, but you know, now or point 75 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 3: where I mean shutting down, I mean doing what you 76 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 3: did to the Lions run offense. I mean that's you 77 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 3: talk about the two headed monster. And I know that 78 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: their line was hurt and there's factors in that too, 79 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: but at the same time, to be able to shut 80 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 3: down that offense to that point to obviously the run 81 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: offense where they're getting, you know, one yard per carry. 82 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: It's kind of crazy how many times you see a 83 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 3: game where a team has fifteen carries and they have 84 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 3: a seventeen yard carrier. 85 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 5: What was it, I'm want to hit this right now, 86 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 5: twelve care whatever it was. 87 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: They had negative yards except for the one seventeen yard 88 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: carry that Montgomery had in the second quarter there, first 89 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 3: quarter there, So that kind of shows how dominant the 90 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 3: team was overall and and you know, anytime you ask 91 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: any of it, both either Tarot Austin or Mike tom Whin, 92 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 3: they say, well, the high pedigreg guys the reason we 93 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 3: took him in the first round. It's always kind of 94 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: the answer without any real nuts and bolts or substance 95 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 3: to the answer as to what it is. But I mean, 96 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 3: he has any team that you would think would lose 97 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 3: one of their top three defensive tackles and particularly you know, 98 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: whatever you want to put in the sock of saying 99 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 3: nose tackle now and I don't know how much he 100 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: plays a true nose or how you want to term 101 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 3: that the way it used to be. Anyway you would 102 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 3: think there'll be some drop off, But yeah, it is 103 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 3: kind of crazy. And I think the takeaway to whatever 104 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: you think of how much he means particular to this 105 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 3: particular team in the run defense, I think the main 106 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 3: takeaway you could take from is, no matter what you 107 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 3: think of that that you have a guy here who's 108 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 3: going to be, assuming he stays here and he's healthy 109 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: and everything, a decade long defensive tackle for you, you know, 110 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: to what degree what you know a ceiling still can 111 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: be all pro and you know his floors, He's going 112 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: to be a solid make approp here and there tackle 113 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: for you. I think that's that's the good news of yours, 114 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: the Steelers and your Steelers fan, is they this looks 115 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 3: like a first round pick that there's no indication that 116 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: he got it wrong, that's for sure. 117 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. Sorry they went to piggyback off that because I 118 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 4: just retweeted something that I didn't realize either about that 119 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 4: Lions game was the Steelers defense had a run stuff rate, 120 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 4: which is stopping the ball carrier at or behind the 121 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 4: line of scrimmage on fifty percent of the runs. I mean, 122 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 4: that was the highest stuff rate of any defense in 123 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 4: any game this season. And I was just sitting there 124 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 4: thinking about these Harman splits. And last year there was 125 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 4: a similar one with Cam Hayward where yards per carry 126 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 4: the Steelers were basically number one or number two in 127 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 4: the league when he was on the field, and they 128 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 4: were either thirty one or thirty second when he was off. 129 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 4: And that one was just like, oh, yeah, I totally 130 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 4: buy that, you know, like he's that important. That's why 131 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 4: he drafted Derek Harmon because he was too he was 132 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 4: too important for you you know, yeah, yeah, this one 133 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 4: doesn't smell quite is potent, you know. 134 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's just wild in general that the Steelers 135 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 3: have that type of performance against that quality of a 136 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 3: team and an offense and a rushing offense. And it 137 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 3: was just it was, what twenty one days after flitting 138 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 3: at the most rushing yards at home in fifty years 139 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: a half centuries, you know, a lifetime is worth of 140 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: a bad rushing defense performance or effort in terms of 141 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 3: the production. So it just while you see that obviously 142 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: an X factor there is Derek Harmon, I thought Hayward 143 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 3: is really good against the lines. I mean, everybody has 144 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 3: to be good if you're gonna you're gonna have that 145 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: kind of numbers. And until the fourth quarter, just in general, 146 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 3: I mean again this this offense led the league and scoring. 147 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: I mean, if that ain't no joke that they held 148 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 3: them one hundred and sixty four yards there until the 149 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 3: fourth quarter. And I don't want to say those by 150 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 3: any means were garbage yards. And they allowed the yards 151 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 3: and the points they didn't want to. It wasn't like 152 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 3: they were, you know, preventer up twenty eight points or something. 153 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 3: So the fourth quarter wasn't great, but you know, they 154 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 3: got stops they needed to and just on hole. But yeah, 155 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 3: the rushing offense and ever rushing story, the rushing defense, 156 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: rush offense too. We could talk about that, I'm sure, 157 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 3: but the rushing defense and harm and being there and everything, 158 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 3: and and I think, you know, I still think Benton, 159 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 3: you know, if you go through again with just kind 160 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: of top my head, the fifteen games they've had, you know, 161 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 3: Benton's been looked like it looked like the guy you 162 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 3: went again when he kind of drafted him. He was 163 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 3: early second round, you know, the real star wart guy. 164 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: You've probably seen that probably six or seven, eight games 165 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 3: or something like that. And there's a couple of games 166 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 3: where he's like, oh, come on, Kean. You know you're 167 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 3: kind of missing that too. But I thought that was 168 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: one of the former games for him that he looked 169 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 3: really good too. 170 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: Chris, I realize this is probably a difficult question to answer. 171 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: I might be putting you on the spot a little bit. 172 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: But hearkening back to Sunday in Detroit, that that twenty 173 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: nine to twenty four victory for the Steelers, You've been 174 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: on the beat now since twenty fourteen. 175 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: I believe. So, you know, you've got a nice, nice 176 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: chunk of time. 177 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: You know, you're not one of these Mike Persudos or 178 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: you know, Bob Labriolas, who's been around since the dinosaur. 179 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 2: But you've covered plenty of Steelers football in your in 180 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: your years. Can you remember any ending, any finish, any 181 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: fourth quarter that was as nuts, as bizarre, as back 182 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: and forth, as chaotic as what we witnessed, you know 183 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: about forty eight hours ago in Detroit. 184 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you count it, kind of the back and 185 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 3: forth nature and the exciting nature of it, and the 186 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: you know late season. Hey, the crazy part is it 187 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: wasn't the game wasn't super duper consequential to the Steelers, right, 188 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: you know, So that's the if you take I remember 189 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 3: that Saints game, that had the feeling of that Saints 190 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 3: game from twenty eighteen in terms of until the final 191 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 3: playoff course I'm talking about We'll get to that in 192 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 3: a second, but just me in terms of the fourth 193 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 3: quarter going back and forth and both teams, you know, 194 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 3: two playoff caliber teams and actually, oddly enough, that Steelers 195 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: team missed the playoffs, kind of like these Lions probably, well, 196 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 3: I felt like that Steers team was a playoff team 197 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: or should have been a playoff team, or one of 198 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 3: the top six or seven teams in the conference. Didn't 199 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: make it looks like that happened the Lions too in 200 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 3: a similar way where the Steelers lost that game there 201 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 3: and to it officiating call for pass interference. So that 202 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: was earlier in the game of course of Joe Hayden. 203 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember what I'm referring to here. 204 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: I think it was the day before Christmas or on Christmas, 205 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 3: and there was the Joe Hayden got a one that 206 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 3: one year where they we could challenge pass interference calls. 207 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 5: Well, what a what a what a disaster that was. 208 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 3: But anyway, so they got a pass interference call. It 209 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: pretty much but kind of in some way decide that came. 210 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 3: Anyway that game sticks out to me is in terms 211 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: of that we talk about a late season game that 212 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 3: had that excitement going back and forth and everything and 213 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 3: had meaning in terms of one team that's for a 214 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 3: playoff and their team fighting for a division title and 215 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 3: two good teams at that matter. That that's the one 216 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 3: thing would stick out. But but that doesn't even factor in, 217 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 3: of course, the final play where you have the drama, 218 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 3: and then I know, I assume the officials are instructed 219 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 3: like to talk to the territory the way they always 220 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: because they always announced it that way. The ruling on 221 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 3: the field is I'm sure they're instructed start with that. 222 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 3: And no matter what you do, right that makes that 223 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: makes sense when it's a when it's a holding call 224 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 3: and in the second quarter, right or something like that, 225 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 3: or whatever it is, if there's some sort of dispute, 226 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 3: But when you're talking about the end of the game, 227 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 3: whenever there's no time on the clock and it's a 228 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 3: five point game and a touchdown decides the game. 229 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 5: But you start out, you're. 230 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 3: Not with the rolling on the field is a touchdown, 231 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 3: and and you're the home team had the touchdown, and 232 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: then you have to explain the rest of it, and 233 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 3: then they get to and the game is over. And 234 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: even though what he explained you anybody thinking or knows 235 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 3: it knows that that's probably not a touchdown, still wasn't not. 236 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,599 Speaker 3: He says he started out with the throwing on the 237 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 3: fields of touchdown. He ends it, or almost it sounds 238 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 3: like he's ending. Get with the game is over, and 239 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 3: then there's a little pot he says, the touchdown and 240 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 3: I don't forget the terminology, have the touchdown didn't count 241 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 3: the touchdowns, roll back or Pittsburgh wins whatever. 242 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 5: He said. 243 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: It was just a wild way to do that, and 244 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 3: just to see how that that all went down. And man, 245 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 3: I was thinking about that. I'm having almost like nightmares 246 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 3: thinking about what the narrative would be this week if 247 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 3: somehow that you know, they didn't rule the forward progress 248 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 3: and they did announce that as a as a touch 249 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 3: back and a legal touchdown and the game did end 250 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 3: if there wasn't an interference flag or something like that, 251 00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 3: and how that would end and how that would have 252 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: what would be talking about right now instead. But yeah, 253 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: it was a wild game, and furthermore went you started 254 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: asking that question less. It was one of the better 255 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 3: wins by the Steelers in eleven years. You took put 256 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 3: everything together on the road against the team that again 257 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 3: they might not make the playoffs. It's kind of weird 258 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 3: to say that, but against one of the better teams 259 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: in the league and the way they the rushing offense, 260 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 3: the rushing defense to have a lead almost throughout it 261 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 3: just in terms of the you know, if you talk 262 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: about the quality of the win somehow. This is like 263 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 3: college football are doing a resume. I think winning at 264 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 3: Detroit for the Steelers team at this time of year 265 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 3: was one of the just better quality wins they've had 266 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 3: over the past decade or so. 267 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 4: So you mentioned the running game for the Steelers. Do 268 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 4: you think it's gotten to the point now where roles 269 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 4: for Gainwell and Warren are pretty much interchangeable? I mean, 270 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 4: there was that stretch there where Gameboll played every third 271 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 4: down which made me crazy, and at the beginning of 272 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 4: the season he was obviously kind of a spot player. 273 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 4: From getting the feeling, they just kind of use them 274 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 4: both no matter what the situation is. 275 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I do wonder of course, you see some of 276 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 3: the I mean game Well lines up more outside or 277 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 3: more in a you know, plastic typical kind of more 278 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 3: receiver thing. But that might be more you know, so 279 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 3: when you say they're inter changeable sense, I don't think 280 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 3: the same plays necessarily there care at least are the same, wrong, 281 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 3: I mean like. 282 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 4: More like down in distance it doesn't matter anymore. 283 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, which is kind of something I 284 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 3: you know, I know what I know, our friend Tim 285 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 3: Ben is really advocating for it at some point was 286 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 3: pulling his hair out about that that whenever. Oh, I 287 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: don't know, just the season everything runs together anymore. One 288 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 3: of the one of the walls in the season where 289 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 3: the Stewards had trouble on third downs and part of 290 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 3: the we thought like, well there's third you know war 291 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 3: and is there these two third don backs and whatever? 292 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 3: But the good guy off the field right, yes, yes, 293 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 3: they're that that hold there, so that that's kind of 294 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 3: what I thought made sense is the point where and 295 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 3: that's been one of the I think on both of 296 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 3: those guys. I don't know what you thought going into 297 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 3: the season. I was skeptical to different degrees or different 298 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 3: levels or different reasons. I guess almost maybe about gain 299 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 3: one and well, I thought there are both good running 300 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 3: backs and good players that have on your team. And heck, 301 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 3: maybe the Steelers thought that too. By drafting with their 302 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: second draft pick, they took a running back and profile 303 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 3: more as a first and second down back that I 304 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 3: wondered if either of them would be effective backs, you know, 305 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 3: if you kind of, I don't know, say expose them 306 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,599 Speaker 3: too much or or use them in all situations. And 307 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 3: here we are, and with two weeks left in the season, 308 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 3: and it's kind of the opposite quote unquote problem where 309 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 3: that where they're both proved adept at every situation, you're 310 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 3: trying to find ways to use them both. And so 311 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 3: I think that's been one of the better aspects is 312 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 3: both gain well kind of getting out of the shadow 313 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 3: of you know, they always having a Pro Bowl running 314 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 3: back ahead of them in Philadelphia and and coming here 315 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 3: and you know and kind of on a prove it 316 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 3: deal and show and proven that he can be a 317 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 3: much more utilized player. And the same thing with Warren. 318 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 3: You know, maybe there was questions about him. He had 319 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: to get his contract and he obviously was never the 320 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 3: starter here or anything like that. And I think they 321 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 3: both have shown it. They're they're capable act in their 322 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 3: own way, and it can be really good backs. 323 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 5: In their own way. 324 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 2: A couple more minutes here with Chris Adamski, of course, 325 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 2: of the Steelers' blitz and the trib buzz a. 326 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 1: I guess a hypothetical for you here. 327 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 2: If the Baltimore Ravens go to lambeau Field Saturday night 328 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: and lose to the Packers and the Steelers clinch the 329 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 2: AFC North, how do you proceed on Sunday. Are you 330 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: looking at it as two bye weeks? Are you looking 331 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: at it as business as usual? Is it somewhere in between. 332 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: I still want my guys to play because I don't 333 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 2: want them to have that much time off. But you know, 334 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: maybe I'll say I'll say woe as opposed to sickham. 335 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: You know, once we get into the second or third quarter, 336 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 2: if the Steelers, you know, when that bus gets to 337 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 2: what is it Huntington bank Field there? 338 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: I think now in Cleveland it changes its name every year. 339 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 2: When when that bus pulls up at you know, ten 340 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 2: thirty eleven o'clock Sunday morning, in the Steelers quote unquote 341 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 2: have nothing to play for because the division is already 342 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: in the bag, but you still have two more games. 343 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 2: It's not just a one week thing. How do you 344 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 2: how do you think how would you handle that? How 345 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: do you think Mike Tomlin would handle that? 346 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 3: I feel like Mike Tomlin and maybe I'm wrong with this. 347 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 3: They obviously have to game plan like a normal week 348 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 3: like they need to win the game obviously, and treat 349 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 3: it like a highly meaningful regular season game. So I 350 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 3: don't know if you get to the point where this 351 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 3: Saturday night. What you know, you've already developed your plan 352 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: with your players. Then you also have the whole thing 353 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 3: where it's not like a preseason game where I mean 354 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 3: there's only six or plus injuries, you know, six or 355 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 3: seven extra guys I guess you can call up to 356 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: practice squad guys. 357 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 5: You can't rest. 358 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 3: Everybody, right, there's only so many guys exactly because it's 359 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 3: literally impossible to do it. So you run into that 360 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 3: now at some point though, because to me, and then 361 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 3: it's then you run the problem or do you really 362 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 3: want to have a lot of these guys having what 363 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 3: would be three calendar weeks or your two games off 364 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 3: heading into the the playoffs when you want to be 365 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 3: at your sharpest, especially whenever you know, I guess, both 366 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 3: sides of the ball and particularly an offense, I feel 367 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 3: like that things are kind of running in the format 368 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 3: right you don't want to you kind of keep that 369 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 3: momentum going. So it's definitely a balancing act. And and 370 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 3: my first instinct would be to say, you know, I'll 371 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 3: pretty much treat other than guys that are on the 372 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 3: fence or injury right that that's obviously something you maybe 373 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 3: don't want to. You might if it's a playoff game, 374 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: if somebody's right on the fence there, you let him play, 375 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 3: or or game you had to win for the division, 376 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 3: you let him player. But the Week eight game in 377 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 3: the regular season maybe a little less. But in this situation, 378 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 3: sit him down, right. You definitely don't want to have 379 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 3: somebody who've got a soft tissue thing and you're trying 380 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 3: to force them out there, so that so that that 381 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 3: could knock up a couple of year this season's there. 382 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 5: Man. 383 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 3: Man, it's like, again, you want to keep the momentum going, 384 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 3: but the same time, what you know, a forty two 385 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 3: year old quarterback like you kind of just don't want. 386 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 3: I know Mike Thoman doesn't think this way, but it's like, man, 387 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 3: can you imagine the if he don't, you know, Edon 388 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 3: Rodgers gets hurt in that game or in the second 389 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 3: half of that game or something, and it's just like 390 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 3: you imagine that the criticism that would come. Yeah, yeah, so, 391 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: but I would think that Rogers and just to be 392 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 3: my guess, what they would do and probably what I 393 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 3: would do too, is at least start them and you know, 394 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 3: maybe the whole first half. I don't know, especially at 395 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 3: that point you have a whole extra game, and that's 396 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 3: when it gets real fun. You think, is it is 397 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,400 Speaker 3: it a little Howard game? Is it a half Mason 398 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 3: Rudolph half Little Howard? And you know, there's a lot 399 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 3: of ways. 400 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 5: You can play with that. 401 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 3: I'm sure a lot of people would that would make 402 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 3: that very interesting. All of a sudden they get to 403 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 3: watch while Howard in a game that week eighteen game 404 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 3: it doesn't mean anything, because that's something that you could 405 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 3: put in your put in your memory bank and pocket 406 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 3: for how you approach a lot of things over the 407 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 3: offseason everything I think, But yeah, I would think something 408 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: like that and maybe set a couple you know, obviously, 409 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 3: don't you know, don't maybe you say them all those 410 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 3: shows he's ready and all of a sudden, you know what, 411 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 3: we don't need to put say them all the way 412 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 3: near now if this name doesn't mean anything, you know, 413 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 3: a couple of guys up and down like that. You know, 414 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 3: obviously TJ. You know, if he was getting close maybe 415 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 3: at the playoff. 416 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 5: Week, maybe you know, he pushes a little more. 417 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 3: But obviously you wouldn't do that in his situation if 418 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 3: the game doesn't mean anything. 419 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 4: Would you agree, though? If the Ravens and Steelers win 420 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 4: this upcoming weekend, then you'd like treat it like a 421 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 4: preseason game. I mean, you just shut down everyone for 422 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 4: one week. 423 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 3: If I see, yeah, okay what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, 424 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 3: I think at that point, yeah, hey, it's only one week. 425 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 3: Then it's just like a bye week, you know. I 426 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 3: think you start getting the two weeks, you start maybe 427 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 3: you losing some of your Christmas and things like that. 428 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, and it all. 429 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 3: You know, Also, you have a whole week then to 430 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 3: kind of put in a game plan for however you 431 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 3: want to do with the would I would say my 432 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 3: guess would probably Mason real out the first half, we'll 433 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 3: Howard the second half. But your game plan with the 434 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 3: guys you have, whoever they are, and put together probably 435 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 3: obviously have vanilla game plan to a point in terms 436 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 3: of what you're doing. But at least you you have 437 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 3: a whole week to kind of, you know, build up 438 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 3: to what you're doing that week rather than playing plan 439 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 3: plan all week. And obviously that's not I'm probably making 440 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 3: too much of this, but at the same time, you know, 441 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 3: at that point you've been revving up for a full 442 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 3: week for this week and at least start the game 443 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 3: with your with your starters and everything and and execute 444 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 3: that for a half or something. But yeah, for a 445 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 3: whole week, definitely. I think you treat it that way. 446 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 4: Yes, And frankly they would never admit it, but you 447 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 4: might have half the coaching staff watching the bill that week, you. 448 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 5: Know what I mean? 449 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, they would never 450 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 3: admit it. You're right, you got to, you got you're 451 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 3: playing your rival and everything, and I'm sure they're gonna 452 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 3: want to want to win that Week eight team. 453 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 5: But you're absolutely right. 454 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 3: Although there's a lot of ways that could still we'll 455 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 3: see how well a little more clarity after Sunday or 456 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 3: Monday here, but I mean New England still would play 457 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 3: as the five. 458 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 5: See, I mean there's there's all you know. Yeah, so 459 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 5: Houston's and there's. 460 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 3: A lot of way it might not be might not 461 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 3: be that simple, but you're right. At least start a 462 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 3: little advanced scouting on the three or four or five teams. 463 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 3: You might still have to be able to play that 464 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 3: next week. 465 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: Always plumbing to ponder, always good stuff with our buddy 466 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 2: Chris Damski.
