We're getting ready for Steelers week 3 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: and it's our last game before the bye, so we 4 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: have to focus on this one and not get ahead 5 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: of ourselves, right, not in vacation mode yet. We're gonna 6 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: talk a little bit more in depth. We're gonna get 7 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: one of our insiders in here to talk Steelers, but 8 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: we wanna talk about our big things first, and first 9 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: big thing is gonna be Tomlin. Mike Tomlin has been 10 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: the coach in Pittsburgh quite some time now and with 11 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: him comes his reputation, and we got to hear a 12 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: little bit from him, and Doug talked about his relationship 13 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: with Tomlin and what he's known for. 14 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: John, I know Mike pretty well, and I've coached against him, 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: you know, several times now and in a lot of 16 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: respect for him and what he's done there. Gosh, as 17 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 2: you mentioned, he's won a lot of football games, you know, 18 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 2: double digit wins, you know, most of his career, and 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: that that's pretty impressive. You know, obviously championships and things 20 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: of that nature. And you know, he does a great 21 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: job of just of just getting getting his teams prepared. 22 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: The way he messages his team, you know, motivates his team. 23 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: They play hard, they play physical, they're fast. It's a 24 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: disciplined group and they always have been. And you know, 25 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 2: it's just it's kind of the tradition of the Pittsburgh 26 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: Steelers over time, you know, through history, and he's he's 27 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 2: definitely carried that, carried that on in his. 28 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: Career there as the head coach. 29 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: Brian, What's one thing that comes to mind for you 30 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: when you think of Mike Tomlin. 31 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 4: He fitted effortlessly. He was a young coach guy when 32 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 4: they hired him fifteen years ago, coming off with Tony 33 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 4: Dungee staff and Dungee obviously had ties to Pittsburgh, so 34 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 4: they knew what they were getting. But in all these 35 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 4: years they've had Chuck Nole, Bill Kauer and Mike Tomlin, 36 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 4: and he has he has won a super Bowl, just 37 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 4: like Bill Cower, not four like Nole, but he's he's 38 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 4: been a really good coach and kept the Steelers' mentality 39 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 4: alive right that run the ball, play great defense. I 40 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 4: just he's been tremendous and just seamless in the Pittsburgh mentality. 41 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 5: Well, you think of the Steelers, and the first thing 42 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 5: you always think of is, in fact, they've had three 43 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 5: coaches in fifty four years. And so when I think 44 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 5: of Tomlin, I think of the organization and how they 45 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 5: are able to commit to an idea. And with Tomlin, 46 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 5: when the organization does that and you know they are 47 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 5: committed to you, if they know you're doing the right thing, 48 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 5: and if they know you're coaching to sort of this standard, 49 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 5: then you can succeed. And with the Steelers, so much 50 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 5: of it is I kind of compare him to the 51 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 5: way the Titans have played lately, where you know they're 52 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 5: going to get the maximum out of what they have 53 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 5: on the field. They're gonna play to a certain way. 54 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 5: And I always say with the Titans, you know, I'm 55 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 5: not just search. I'm not so sure it's true this year, 56 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 5: but they know how Rabel wants them to play. Well, 57 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 5: there's never any doubt with the Steelers what the expectations 58 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 5: are in the NFL. If you've got everybody working on 59 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 5: the same page, everybody knowing how you're supposed to play, 60 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 5: you're gonna be in a lot of close games. And 61 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 5: if you believe in the coach, you're gonna win some 62 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 5: of those games. So they really speak to that ideal. 63 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 5: I mean, Jaguars fans are tired of hearing that after 64 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 5: thirty years, but to me, that's the model franchise. Yeah, 65 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 5: and even with New England having their run. I was 66 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 5: with the Colts for ten years Pittsburgh. You always knew 67 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 5: that they were going to compete. They had an ideal, 68 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 5: they played to it, and Tomlin's fit right in there. 69 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, that's exactly what it is. 70 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 4: The Steelers way has always been the same, always, and 71 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 4: he just his players love playing for him. He's a 72 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 4: lot of fun to watch when he's mad at a 73 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 4: press conference because he has no filter. 74 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: I think he's been great for the game. 75 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 5: And they also have the courage the Steelers do and 76 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 5: they always have not to. If Tomlin goes seven to 77 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 5: ten this year, there won't be oh my goodness, it's 78 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 5: the coach's fault. It's always the coach's fault. Well, sometimes 79 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 5: an organization a coward had slide years. Well, when the 80 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 5: coach's fault, there are other things going on. They have 81 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 5: the belief or whatever it is not to always blame 82 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 5: the coach, which it seems like most other franchise, I 83 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 5: want to blame the coach because the fans did. 84 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 4: And I can remember a time where it was tough 85 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 4: to sell tickets in Jacksonville, right, And I can remember 86 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 4: someone in Pittsburgh say they don't have that problem here, right. 87 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 3: So they don't make decisions. 88 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 4: Based on what do the fans want and will it 89 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 4: help them buy tickets next year? They always make football 90 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 4: based decisions, not marketing based decisions. And when you reach 91 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 4: that point, and not every franchise does. In fact, if 92 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 4: you do, when you reach that point, you can be 93 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 4: patient with your coach and know what he's doing. 94 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: And I think that's huge. You guys mentioned that relationship 95 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: between ownership and coach. That doesn't happen everywhere. To have 96 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: that belief in your coach, and I think we like 97 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: to think that having the GM, the owner and Doug 98 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: on the same page here, that's how you start something 99 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: like that, having faith in everybody and all working together. 100 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: Our second big thing this week or this today, I 101 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: should say it's gonna be TJ. Watt because he's a 102 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: really big thing and he's a game wrecker. We heard 103 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: Mike tom when talking about Traylon being a game wrecker. 104 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: This is their version of that. Trevor Lawrence talked about 105 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: it yesterday. 106 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 6: And he's not just a pass rusher. He's a great 107 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 6: defensive player. I mean, he's good against the run, he's 108 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 6: good dropping in coverage. He just had a pick last 109 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 6: week against the Rams, dropping out underneath and zone. So 110 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 6: I mean, he's just an all around great player and 111 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 6: you got to always know where he's at. You gotta 112 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 6: have a plan for him. So it definitely puts some 113 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 6: stress on you. And then you look at the other 114 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 6: side and they got high Smith, who I played against 115 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 6: actually in college. You went to UNC Charlotte, which is 116 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 6: just funny seeing him again in just the career he's had. 117 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 6: I mean, I knew he was going to be a 118 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 6: studg when we played him his senior year there he 119 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 6: was giving us fits. 120 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 3: So it's both those guys. Really. 121 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 6: That's what makes a challenging too, is you don't have 122 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 6: to worry about just one guy. 123 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: You got one on each edge. 124 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 6: So it's a challenge and you know, we're gonna have 125 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 6: to have a great plan for it, and we will, 126 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 6: but you know, we're kind of working through all that 127 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 6: right now and it'll be it'll be a good battle Sunday. 128 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: John Trevor brings up there, it's not just TJ. Watt, 129 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: it'shih Smith on the other side too, and it's that 130 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: combination that can be difficult for certain offenses to deal 131 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: with well. 132 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 7: And they've always got one. 133 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 5: I mean thirty years have been covering the league and 134 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 5: it seems like, you know, it's not TJ. 135 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 7: Watt over there, it's somebody. 136 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 5: So again, I think that speaks to when they draft 137 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 5: a player like that, like TJ. Watt, they know exactly 138 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 5: what they want out of a player when they draft him, 139 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 5: and they draft him for spots, they draft him for fit. 140 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 5: He's been the perfect fit. Speak to your point, guy. 141 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 5: They really are built around their edge rushers ability to 142 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 5: get to the quarterback. The Jaguars are built overall defense, 143 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 5: good edge players, not necessarily we're gonna get to the 144 00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 5: quarterback every time. 145 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 7: It's more of a team concepts. 146 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 5: So I don't know that it's almost like their polar 147 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 5: opposite ways to play good defenses these two teams. Because 148 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 5: the Jaguars are going to stop the run, a Steelers 149 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 5: are on a really a great run defense because. 150 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: They is amazing to hear well. 151 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 5: But they play at three to four and they have 152 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 5: committed to playing a lot of two five. Really, I mean, 153 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,119 Speaker 5: they don't really emphasize stopping the run. They emphasize getting 154 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 5: you in enough bad situations that they can have their 155 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 5: edge wreshlers to get to the quarterback and force mistakes. 156 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 7: So they're a different kind of Steelers. 157 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: Tap. 158 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 4: There's no question there were times where you just you'd 159 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 4: slam your head into the line of scrimmage over and 160 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 4: over and over, and you'd leave the game with, you know, 161 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 4: eighteen rushing attempts for twenty nine yards. I mean, that's 162 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 4: how good they always used to be against that. I 163 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 4: understand they've changed things up a little bit. I watched 164 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 4: the game the Rams game last week and TJ. Watt 165 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 4: popped off the screen, so I went back just to 166 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 4: confirm it and watch the replay. And he is a 167 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 4: tremendous player because he can do so many different things. 168 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 4: It's not just chase the passer. It's dropped back in 169 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 4: coverage and still be an explosive guy, and he makes 170 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 4: everyone around him better. Ryan Clark is at the safety 171 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: he's on ESPN, said this week that he thought he 172 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 4: had a chance to be the greatest dealer of all time. 173 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 4: Just think about the great players they've had on that defense, 174 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 4: how many Hall of Famers, And you're talking about. 175 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 3: Well, is he as good as Joe Green? Well, if 176 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: you've got. 177 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 4: Ryan Clark suggesting that a guy who played for the Stealers, 178 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 4: who understands the mentality of that Steelers organization, it's a 179 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 4: worthy conversation, and that tells you what you're up against. 180 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm gonna say he's not John's all. 181 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 3: But well, I'm not saying he is. 182 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 4: I'm just saying if they're talking about former Steelers are 183 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 4: talking about it, that tells. 184 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 3: You what they think of the guy. 185 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 5: But he's I mean, yeah, I get it. The conversation. 186 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 5: It is interesting to have. And he's young, so he's 187 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 5: already got eighty eight sacks. I think in a Sack era. 188 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 3: Well, listen this way. 189 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 4: If at the end of his career he keeps playing 190 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 4: this way and he's a Hall of Famer, is he 191 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 4: worthy of having conversations? 192 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: Where does he belong to the greatest? 193 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 7: Sure? 194 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 3: Okay, well that's why I think what Ryan to say. 195 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: Let's go to our final big thing here today, terrible 196 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: towels it's a tough environment to play in Pittsburgh, and 197 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence talked about what it means to him to 198 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: go up there and play. 199 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 6: Wanted to check off the list like playing in cool stadiums, 200 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 6: historic places, and obviously Pittsburgh is just they got a 201 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 6: great I mean just their whole organization has like an 202 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 6: r aura around it. 203 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 3: That's really cool. When they're you know, they had. 204 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 6: Some obviously great players, some great teams. You always know 205 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 6: kind of what team, what kind of team Pittsburgh's gonna 206 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 6: have every year. I mean, super physical, great defense. Their 207 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 6: offense is playing really well. I mean that's just you 208 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 6: know what you're gonna get. So they're they're really consistent. 209 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 6: Coach Thomlins obviously done a great job there. But I'm excited. 210 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 6: I'm excited to play over there. We've played in some 211 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 6: hostel environments, you know, Kansas City, New Orleans. I think 212 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 6: those are up there, and this will be another one 213 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 6: that'll be a challenge and it'll be fun to play. 214 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: And John, what's it going to be like at Heinsfield 215 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: or should I say at a pressure stadium instead? 216 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 5: Well, when they get rolling, it's an impressive atmosphere. The 217 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 5: other side of that is when the Jaguars have been good, 218 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 5: they've gone up there and handled that atmosphere pretty well. 219 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 5: And I think this is a team. It's silly to 220 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 5: say you never worry about atmosphere because they're real in 221 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 5: the NFL. 222 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 7: But this team hasn't lost away from. 223 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 5: The city yet this year. They were a good road 224 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 5: team last year. It's never really bothered them. They didn't 225 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 5: win in Kansas City last year twice, but there's a 226 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 5: lot of teams that don't do that. I don't know 227 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 5: if that was the crowd as much as the team 228 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 5: you're playing. So it's intense when the Towels get rolling 229 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 5: when they start playing renegade and late in the game 230 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 5: they picked their spot to do it. But I don't 231 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 5: think that that is something I've seen teams get overwhelmed 232 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 5: by it. 233 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 7: I don't know that this Jaguars team will get. 234 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: Over by it. 235 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. 236 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 4: And Heinsfield is a great place to watch a game. 237 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 4: It's not like old Three Rivers. They lost something when 238 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 4: they left that old bull ring. You were not welcome 239 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 4: at Three Rivers Stadium. Right now, in Hinzfield, it has 240 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 4: more of a nice feel to it. You know, it's 241 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 4: a nicer stadium, but when they're playing well, it's a 242 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 4: tough place to win. 243 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: We'll have to see how things go down on Sunday 244 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: and stay with us here on jags Am. We're gonna 245 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: go cross over here as we talk to our Steelers 246 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: insider coming up after the break. Welcome back to Jagsam, 247 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: presented by Field's Auto Group Jacksonville, Step up to luxury 248 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: at Fieldsauto dot Com. Playing the Steelers this week, so 249 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: of course we have to go and talk to our 250 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: Steelers insider. Chris Carter is here with us today, and Chris, 251 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: we were talking a little bit yesterday about Mike Tomlin 252 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: because I love to hear from Mike Tomlin. He's always 253 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: a good time and he was calling Trayvon Walker a 254 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: wrecking ball. We were just talking about TJ. Watt, your 255 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: wrecking ball. So I know Mike Tomlin's not a huge 256 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: fan of identity, But how would you describe your team 257 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: because we see a lot of similarities between the two. 258 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 8: I mean, that's what I I did a lot of 259 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 8: talking about this week, is that I think this is 260 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 8: a mirror match in a lot of ways. 261 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 9: You have a young quarterback looking to prove himself. 262 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 8: You have a first round running back from a twenty 263 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 8: twenty one draft at Najie Harris and Travis Ada. 264 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 9: You have TJ. 265 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 8: Want and Alex high Smith the same way you have 266 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 8: John Walker and Josh Allen. 267 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 9: TJ. 268 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 8: Want has been, you know, he's put himself in that 269 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 8: conversation as one of the greatest defenders of all time. 270 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 8: Just this last week with that interception that you were 271 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 8: seeing there against. 272 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 9: The Rams, he became the only tailor, only other. 273 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 8: Player not named Lawrence Taylor to have seventy sacks seven 274 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 8: interceptions in his first seven seasons in the NFL. He's 275 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 8: at the same pace. He beats you in so many 276 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 8: different ways. The Rams even schemed a way to try 277 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 8: to take him and Alex Highsmith out. Either they were 278 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 8: getting the ball out quick or they were tripling double 279 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 8: teaming them to make sure that they couldn't get to 280 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 8: Matt Stafford. 281 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 9: And so when TJ. 282 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 8: Watt realized that, he said, Okay, you want a double team, 283 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 8: that's fine. I'm gonna drop back into coverage and figure 284 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 8: and wait for you to jump on that. So that's 285 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 8: where the defense has kind of been so far. They've 286 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 8: been relying on playmaking. There was literally a game they 287 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 8: won where both Alex Heisman and TJ. Watt scored touchdowns, 288 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 8: scored more touchdown than the Steelers offense in the game. 289 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 8: That's what they're trying to be right now. I think 290 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 8: the Jaguars they've had more success stopping to run than. 291 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 9: The Steelers so far. 292 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 8: But one thing that the Steelers are also doing, they're 293 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 8: coalescing a lot of new guys, a new linebacker corps 294 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 8: that they've brought in. Their defensive front has been missing 295 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 8: Cam Hayward all season and close closer and closer all 296 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 8: season long. They've been getting sharper on defense. 297 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: Chris, when you look at this offense, can you Pickett 298 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: still trying to figure things out? And you, guys kind 299 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: of reminiscent of the Jaguars last year where you're getting 300 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: down early and then he's doing Can you Pickett specifically 301 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: is doing great in the fourth quarter? What is it 302 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: about that? Is you just like when the stress is 303 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: there and he turns it on, or how is he 304 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: so good in the second half. 305 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 8: It's more like he doesn't freak out and he takes 306 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 8: what's in front of him, and it's so crazy. He 307 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 8: jumps from a passer rating of four to forty five 308 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 8: in the first quarter, which would be like half of 309 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 8: what the worst quarterback is doing right now in the NFL, 310 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 8: all the way up to one hundred and two in 311 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 8: the fourth quarter. That's how good he is in the 312 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 8: fourth where he makes smart decisions. That's the guy with 313 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 8: that I covered when he played at the University of Pittsburgh. 314 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 8: He would be clutch, though he would He want him 315 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 8: to be more consistent in the first quarter, and he 316 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 8: got more consistent in college. They're working on getting him 317 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 8: more consistent in the pros. 318 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 9: Can he Pickett though? 319 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 8: I think the biggest thing is that you're seeing with 320 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 8: the late fourth quarter plays. I think the game's slowing 321 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 8: down for him in those moments because he's putting it 322 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 8: on the line. He's kind of not thinking about just 323 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 8: not turning the ball over. He's thinking about, Hey, let 324 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 8: me go out there and make the play. And the 325 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 8: Steelers they're trusting him to do that. And I think 326 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 8: one thing that's really helping him, especially now, is the 327 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 8: return of Deontay Johnson, is number one receiver who came 328 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 8: back in that Rams game. Now he has two number 329 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 8: one guys in him and George Pickens that can line 330 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 8: up on either side of the ball and distract the 331 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 8: defense from being a focus on one particular receiver, which 332 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 8: could make for an interesting day. 333 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 9: So Kenny Pickett still coming along. 334 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 8: I think that he when he is at his best, 335 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 8: he is a He is a really good decision maker 336 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 8: who can take advantage of wearing the defense is trying 337 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 8: to take one thing away and exposes another opportunity. 338 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 9: And that's what the Steelers want him to be. 339 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 8: Mike Tommins said, that's who they saw at Pitt, that's 340 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 8: who they're. 341 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 9: Hoping to get. 342 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 8: And he now has through eighteen starts, six game winning drives, 343 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,119 Speaker 8: five fourth quarter comebacks. 344 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 9: They just got to hope that clutch play. 345 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 8: Expands into complete play and then they'll have their franchise quarterback. 346 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 5: People are so used to the Steelers as a run 347 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 5: centric team. Is there any sign that they're getting that 348 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 5: going or are they just going to be a passing offense. 349 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 8: Oh No, they're signs that they're getting that going, especially 350 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 8: in the second half against the Jaguars and against the Ravens. 351 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 8: The offensive line here, I think that's the biggest thing 352 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 8: in told in the Steelers back is. 353 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 9: Naji Harris and Jalen Warren. They're the one two punch 354 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 9: the Steelers one at running back. They're physical. 355 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 8: Naji Harris is more of a of a five and 356 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 8: eight yard guy that pushes the pile forward, who you. 357 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 9: Know makes guys miss. 358 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 8: Jalen Warren is more of the straight speed if you 359 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 8: make a one cut guy that can that can hurt 360 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 8: you if you give him a lane. 361 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 9: But the offensive line hasn't been great yet this year. 362 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 9: Broderick Jones, the guy they drafted in the first rounds. 363 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 8: He started against the raven was good, but when Dan 364 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 8: Moore Junior came back from his injury, he went back 365 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 8: to starting at left tackle and actually played well against 366 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 8: the Rams. 367 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 9: Mason Colett center. 368 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 8: He has been probably the weak leak of the offensive line, 369 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 8: but had his best game against the Rams, ironically when 370 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 8: he had Aaron Donald lining up across from Isaac Salemaldo 371 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 8: came in from the Eagles at left guard. 372 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 9: He's been huge. This group just needs to get on 373 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 9: the same foot, and that's where the Steelers want to be. 374 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 9: They want to be a balanced offense. They don't want 375 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 9: to be a pass happy unit. They want to be 376 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 9: able to run the ball. 377 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 8: Mike Collins said during the offseason to one of his draftees. 378 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 8: He said, we want we want to build a goon squad. 379 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 8: We want to be more physical than opponents. And that's 380 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 8: why Mike Tommins spoke so highly of Josh Allen, Javon Walker, 381 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 8: and that Jaguars defensive front, because he knows that's a 382 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 8: big challenge for his offense that's starting to figure out 383 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 8: how to. 384 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 9: Run the ball a little bit more consistently. But now 385 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 9: you're going up. 386 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 8: Against a bunch of big guys that aren't going to 387 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 8: make that easy. So look for the Steelers to try 388 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 8: to establish the run in this game, but not overly. 389 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 8: So they still want to run play acts and they 390 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 8: still want to give Kenny Picktt a chance to make plays. 391 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 9: But they want this to be a balanced attack on 392 00:16:59,280 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 9: the offense. 393 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: All right, Chris, thank you so much for joining us. 394 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: We'll see you on Sunday for the game. 395 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 3: Thanks. 396 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 9: I think you having me. 397 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: All right, guys, we'll be right back.

So, Brian, who are you looking at 407 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: to kind of break out on someone? 408 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 3: Well, I don't he's gonna break out. 409 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 4: It's Anton Harrison, the right tackle, and he will get 410 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 4: beat on Sunday because the Steelers are going to go 411 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 4: after the rookie right tackle. And you're talking about TJ. Watt, 412 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 4: who we have been featuring since the week began. So 413 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 4: he won't go let it bother him, and I think 414 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 4: he'll rebound and play well. He's been playing well the 415 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 4: last couple of weeks and he might be the real 416 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 4: bright spot on that offensive line right now because week 417 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 4: he keeps getting better. 418 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 7: I agree. 419 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 5: I went with Calvin Ridley and I guess he will 420 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 5: be fine. And I guess when I hear the buzz 421 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 5: about a wide. 422 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 7: Receiver, oh, he's not getting catches. He's not getting this. 423 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 5: Remember nineteen ninety nine, Brown, You've been here a minute. 424 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 5: About halfway through that season, I get a call from 425 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 5: a sports editor. 426 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 7: I need a story on what's wrong with Jimmy Smith. 427 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 4: Oh no, was that before we had the shifteen catch 428 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 4: game against the So I went to Jimmy and I said, Jimmy, 429 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 4: you know I know Jimmy for about five years, and 430 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 4: I said, hey, my erer wants me to do this story. 431 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 5: I've got no choice. When Tom tells you do something, 432 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 5: you gotta do it. When this guy tells me, okay, 433 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 5: we did it. He finished the season with sixteen hundred 434 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 5: yards receiving and one hundred and sixteen catches. Sometimes receivers 435 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 5: go through. 436 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 7: Lowles, is my point. 437 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 5: It's not up to them when they get the ball, 438 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 5: and sometimes when the defense takes you away, you can't 439 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 5: get it. He won't be bothered by this buzz. I 440 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 5: don't get the eye idea every receiver wants the ball. 441 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 5: But I don't get the idea that Calvin is overly 442 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 5: stressing about one or two games where he's not the 443 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 5: focal point in the offense and he might kind of breakout. 444 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 7: But you know this. 445 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 5: Almost goes back to he will, and I know I'm 446 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 5: breaking the code here, but he's still going to be 447 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 5: a huge part of this offense. He might be one 448 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 5: of those guys who's key even when he's not getting 449 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 5: the ball. Talking to the receivers yesterday, the other receivers. 450 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 7: Not him. 451 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 5: They need him on the field because he draws defenses. 452 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 5: They really need the whole group. But he's part of 453 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 5: a mosaic, if you will not necessarily. They are not 454 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 5: going to just feature Calvin Ridley in the offense. So 455 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 5: he's gonna have his moments, but he's not gonna be 456 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 5: every week the one hundred yard guy. 457 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 7: That's not the way the offense is gonna be set up. 458 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 4: I remember the storylines about Jimmy that year, and there 459 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 4: was a huge Sunday night game against the Saints. 460 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 7: Yeen ninety it was that week. By the way, it 461 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 7: was twelve catch up and. 462 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 4: Two hundred plus yards, and all of a sudden, the 463 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 4: rest of the year, he was the best receiver in 464 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 4: the AFC. 465 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: All right, for mine, I picked Devon Hamilton because I 466 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: think he will play this week. We've seen him working back. 467 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: He practiced in full last week. This week he is 468 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: practicing in full as well, and he has no medical 469 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: clearances to go. It's just whether you know, coaching and 470 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: him say they're ready to go. So I think he 471 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: will play. He might. What did I say? Why do 472 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: I do this every week? He won't look rusty, is 473 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: what I meant to say, because he's been practicing for 474 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: so many weeks, and I do not think. And I 475 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: think he might also have an impact in the sense 476 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: that what Devon Hamilton brings to this defense by cogging 477 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: up the middle, can help the pass rush, it can 478 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: help coverage, and I think he's someone we forget about 479 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: a little bit because the defense has been doing so good. 480 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: But the role that he plays is crucial for this 481 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: team as well. 482 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 3: He'll make it easier on Trayvon to get some of 483 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 3: those sacks. He'll push the pocket. 484 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 4: And force a quarterback to step slightly outside, and Trayvon 485 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 4: has been there. He's been on the outside and has 486 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 4: had his hands around the quarterback. My guess is wanting 487 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 4: to stay away from number forty one rebec it's gonna 488 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 4: drift into forty four. 489 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 7: Yeah, and he the pass rush as a whole. If 490 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 7: you listen to Josh Allen talk about it. 491 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 5: He's always talking about pass rushing as a team, having 492 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 5: a team plan. Devon Hamilton at the end of last year. 493 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 5: Think about Roy Robinson Harris, how good he was the 494 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 5: end of last year, Devon Hamilton was making a lot 495 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 5: of guys better. There's four or five guys they really 496 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 5: depend on to get to the quarterback. Devon Hamilton being 497 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 5: a note tackle. You don't think of that. One of 498 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 5: the reasons they signed him to the big deal in 499 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 5: the off season was he was showing he could impact 500 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 5: the pocket absolutely. 501 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: So we'll be happy to have him back hopefully this Sunday. 502 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 7: Stay with us. 503 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: We're gonna preview again Sunday's matchup and give you our 504 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: final thoughts on it.

If you find ways to win, 510 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 6: you get you get criticism, and you don't win games, 511 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 6: you get criticism. So it's nature of the business. Obviously, 512 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 6: We're used to that here, so it doesn't it doesn't 513 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 6: bug us. But I think it's just, you know, it's 514 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 6: a good reminder just to everyone that you know, we 515 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 6: use all this. It's a chip on our shoulder. We 516 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 6: use it as fuel. That's really all. It was, nothing, 517 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 6: nothing more to it. I obviously those people are doing 518 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 6: their jobs too at the same time, so you understand it. 519 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 6: But I think it's good to have a little emotion 520 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 6: and remember remember kind of things that people say, and 521 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 6: we don't forget it when when people are backtracking in 522 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 6: a few weeks or into the season, whatever it is. 523 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 3: So that's all it was. 524 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: Seats. 525 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody does a little bit, maybe some more than others, 526 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 6: you know, others more than me probably, but definitely I 527 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 6: think you use all that and that's part of getting 528 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:46,959 Speaker 6: our edge back as a team. That's what we've done 529 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 6: the last few weeks, and keep doing it. 530 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: Trevor's keeping receipts, guys, he's listening. He's got his own 531 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: bolt and board material. I like to hear from Trevor 532 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 1: when he gets a little saucy, and he was on 533 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: Twitter as well talking about you know, they're just going 534 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: to keep finding ways to win and let people analyze 535 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: the team the way they are thin. 536 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 4: When he's a little spicy and he's still just relaxed, right, 537 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 4: I mean right, it's not actually the podium yeah for him, right, 538 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 4: he's what is it? 539 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: What does my kids call him. 540 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 4: A chill even when he's fireing back. 541 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 7: Look, he knows he's good. 542 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 5: He but I think he has a perspective from being 543 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 5: in the spotlight for so long about sort of what 544 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 5: it all is. Uh, what's good I think is he 545 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 5: he's maintained his confidence and I do think he has 546 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 5: perspective on what's important. His stats aren't off the charts. 547 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 5: You can see why if people don't watch him, why 548 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 5: they make comments about him not being quote elite, because 549 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 5: his numbers aren't you know, forty touchdowns. But he's doing 550 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 5: what it takes to win. He's a quarterback of a 551 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 5: conference or of a division leading team, and I think 552 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 5: he knows that. I think he's one enough in his 553 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 5: life and he's he's got enough that he doesn't have 554 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 5: to prove himself. 555 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 7: He just has to win. 556 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: No ego. 557 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 7: We love that, Yeah, I mean I think there's an 558 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 7: element there to. 559 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 3: That with him. 560 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: Absolutely. All Right, guys, what do we think about the Sunday, 561 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: you think the win streak continues, or do we think 562 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough one. 563 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 5: Well, I think it's gonna be a tough one. I 564 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 5: think they should win. I think they will win. And 565 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 5: it sounds like I'm talking about both sides of my mouth, 566 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 5: but I'm not. But I don't think. I mean, I 567 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 5: think it's gonna be tough because the Steelers are a 568 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 5: team that, especially at home, they are capable of winning weird. 569 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 5: They've won sort of weird all season, meaning they create 570 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 5: points with their defense and they can get you if 571 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 5: you make a key mistake. 572 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 7: And the one thing that you. 573 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 5: Worry about the Jaguars this year, they have put the 574 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 5: ball on the ground on offense. They have given teams opportunities. 575 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 5: They can't do that this week. 576 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 4: You can't have an eight consecutive third down conversion failure 577 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 4: rate like they did last week in New Orleans. 578 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 3: You got to stay on the field. 579 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 4: If the Steelers control the ball for thirty six minutes 580 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 4: like the Saints did, the Jaguars will not win the 581 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 4: bowl game. But if the Jaguars can stay on the 582 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 4: field and find some sort of rhythm, I think they've 583 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 4: got more offense than the Steelers do defense. 584 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna ride the wave. I think we'll 585 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: go in to the break on a five game. 586 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 7: I think they win the game absolutely, all. 587 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: Right, We'll have you covered for a full coverage on 588 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: a Sunday and then we'll be back with a full 589 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: recap here on Jagsam on Monday morning. Enjoy the game.
