1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Your tunees about Drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: Good evening, Steeler Nation. How we doing eh us too,

4
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: our number two here of the Drive.

5
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: We get cheerier throughout the week, absolutely yeah.

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Well don't worry. We'll start letting people merging

7
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: traffic again tomorrow. We will be starting to fill up

8
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: on Halloween candy too as the week goes along. I

9
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: feel like that always helps. But it was a bit

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: of a rocky picture horror show for the Steelers last

11
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 2: night at Akroschuer Stadium. Our number two here breaking down

12
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: dissecting these Steelers second straight defeat, this one, thirty five

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: to twenty five to Green Bay. And Matt I got

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: a simple question for you. This is a thirty thousand

15
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: foot view question.

16
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: Uh.

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: This is a thing that Motes and I used to

18
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: do some sometimes in times like this, we would call

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: it the c CWP meter. Okay, and very simply calm, concerned,

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: worried or panicked? That's the CCWP meter. Okay? You calm?

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: Are you concerned? Are you worried? Are you panicked? Where

22
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: are you with this Pittsburgh Steelers team right now?

23
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: It's not panic time yet. It's not panic time, no,

24
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 4: but it's worried time. I think, so I might be

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: somewhere between concerned and worried. In fact, I might even

26
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 4: I might even be on the over the fence and

27
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: on that worried yeahide of the yard.

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: And my logic behind worried is ninety The defense, you know,

29
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: like down by down defensive play all year has been

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: way way below the line, you know, splash reliant.

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: When you are a And the biggest thing with that

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: is like, let's not kid ourselves. We know this is

33
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: an organization, this is a team, this is a franchise,

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: this is a coaching staff, this is a management group,

35
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: an entire city, in a fan base. It's predicated on defense,

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: Like everybody knows that, yeah it is.

37
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: And I don't even care about the investments in the

38
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 3: salaries on that's that doesn't matter on game, it doesn't

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: I'm off season stuff.

40
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: Because the reason why that that doesn't matter to me

41
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: is because everybody whenever the Steelers defense gives up thirty

42
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: five points like they did this week and thirty three

43
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: on last Thursday to Cincinnati, everyone brings that up on

44
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty million dollars right right, second, everyone says

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: highest paid. It's actually the second highest paid defense in

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: the NFL.

47
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 3: But that's not let details getting away of a good story.

48
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: Let's not let details get in the way of a

49
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: good story. If the Steelers defense was locked down, if

50
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: they were the best in the league or one of

51
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: the best two or three in the league, and they

52
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: were giving up nineteen points a game, I don't think

53
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: everyone would be screaming one hundred and eighty million bucks looks,

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: but look what it's buying. Yes, you know, like it's

55
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: only it's only we only do that when it's the negative.

56
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: But that to me, like I think you you have

57
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: to be worried in that regard. It would be one

58
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: thing if you were the Buffalo Bills and had Josh

59
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: Allen and you know, you know what, we're gonna get

60
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 2: shot but we're gonna, we're gonna we're gonna get more

61
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: shots off than Yeah. Like, this is a team that

62
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: to get to where they want to go, to be

63
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: who they want to be, the defense doesn't have to

64
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: be everyone's making the historically, you know, great jokes again

65
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 2: in the in the last twenty four hours as well too.

66
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: They don't need to be a historically great defense for

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: this team to get where they're trying to go. But

68
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: they can't be what they've been through these first seven games,

69
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: through these first eight weeks.

70
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm officially worried about the defense, y know,

71
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: on that that meter you're talking about. I mean, I'm.

72
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: Worried relatively calm with the offense honestly, yes, except.

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: The way that the offense is wired cann't make up

74
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: for the bad defense, you know what I mean? Like

75
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: I trust Rogers, can I mean, like you mentioned, well,

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: if you have Josh Allen, you what.

77
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: About two We haven't discussed this three carries in the

78
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: second half of the Steelers right now.

79
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: I have a problem with that too, And not even feel.

80
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: Of not bringing that up until this point.

81
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: Right because they ten minutes of time possession the second half.

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: You can kind of insulate your defense a little bit. Yes,

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: you can run the ball and again not get out

84
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: snapped every game, not lose the time of possession. Six

85
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: out of seven games, you.

86
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: Were winning time possession very nicely. Going in the half.

87
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: You were very much winning the running differential. You were

88
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 3: the much better running team, the much better running defense,

89
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: and they kicked to you.

90
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: So you got the ball to start.

91
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: The half, come out running. Yeah, I mean it's working,

92
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: make your defense the life a little easier. So the

93
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: second half only having like ten minutes of time possession

94
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: was a two prong sword without a doubt. But they

95
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: were on completions too, you know. I mean, the clocks

96
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: is running with after the catch completions can't off field

97
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 3: hand not Halloween candy, you know. But there's a little

98
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 3: to be blamed with that too. But my reason for

99
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: team worry is, Okay, we had the Tomlin conversation. If

100
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: I have to play go for more and fourth less

101
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: field goals, that's not really how this offense is built.

102
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 3: And the conversation we had with with Rob and I

103
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: did with Mike that's going to air tonight, was okay,

104
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: do you and this is more down the road stuff,

105
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: but do you say I'm more apt to go get

106
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: that wide receiver and try to score everyone.

107
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: We've got a lot of tweets about like what do

108
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: we do ahead of the trade deadline? Receiver safety both.

109
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: Or I keep investing in safeties. Do I sell the farm.

110
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: I don't think that's the answer. I don't think that's

111
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: the and that won't be the case either way. But

112
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, we're at a crossroads. And if you're

113
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 3: at a crossroads, I think being worried is legit and healthy.

114
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: It is, and I think everybody in that building would

115
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: tell you that's part of what that's part of what

116
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: you do in the National Football Yeah, yeah, yeah.

117
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,119
Speaker 3: This happens every year to some regard.

118
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: You know, and I'm not drawing this as a parallel

119
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: for the Steelers right now, but like you have to

120
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: in this profession, you have to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Yeah,

121
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: I know, I've told you this story before, this up

122
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: on air, like Motes and I would laugh all the

123
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: time at the run that this Chiefs have been on

124
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: in the last seven years. Right. They go to the

125
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: that that first year with Mahomes his second year when

126
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: he was really the guy, Right, Alix Smith is gone,

127
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: it's Patrick Mahomes. They go to the AFC Championship game,

128
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 2: host it against Brady, right that was that was that

129
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: was Brady's last Patriots Super Bowl year run. And they

130
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: lose in overtime to Tom Brady and the Patriots.

131
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, Wow, we can hang with the biggest

132
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: of dogs.

133
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: First year with Mahomes is a starter. We've got this

134
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill guy and this Kareem Hunt guy, and our

135
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: defense is getting there, you know what I mean, Like

136
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna be fine.

137
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: I'm looking back on history. That was the beginning of

138
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: the changing of the guard in the.

139
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: AF exactly right, exactly right. The next year, going into Thanksgiving,

140
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: they were like seven and four, seven and five, and

141
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 2: there were articles all throughout Kansas City It's time to

142
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: move on from Andy Reid. It's this is the same

143
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: thing we've been getting all of this in that.

144
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: Reed's been one of the most criticized head coaches in

145
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: NFL history. And then they go back to some Philadelphia clippings,

146
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: this guy will never win a big One.

147
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: Two and a half months later, guess what he did.

148
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: He won the Big One against San Francisco and and

149
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: and he got his first super Bowl and that kick

150
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: started in history. Now people would argue he's maybe the

151
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: best coaching NFL history. I mean, it is amazing how

152
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: quick that can happen. And I'm not saying the Steelers

153
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: are about to go on a six or seven year

154
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: run like that, but that's how quickly narratives can shift

155
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: in this league.

156
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: There's been a couple with the Eagles over the last

157
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: couple There's.

158
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: Been a couple with the Eagles miserable over the last

159
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: couple of years, and so and so, Man, you are again,

160
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: you are far from a finished product. Here is it's

161
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: October twenty seventh, not even Halloween yet, as we're getting

162
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: close and real quick.

163
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 3: I think the Steelers still have very good players on defense.

164
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: Maybe some of them aren't as good as I thought

165
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: they were in training camp. But I don't think that's

166
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: like they don't make good. They got nothing. It's not

167
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: like the Titans. It's not like this is going to

168
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: be the worst and should be because they don't have

169
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: anyone's any good.

170
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: If you are, if you are waking up today as

171
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: the biggest pessimist in Steeler Nation, sell the farm fire

172
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: everybody right, right, the disaster, focus on the future. You know,

173
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: be bad rest of this year, next year, whatever, Get

174
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: high draft picks, all that stuff. Even if you're somebody

175
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: who's is who would be like on that side of pessimism.

176
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: I I don't know, Matt. I don't think it's never

177
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: Here's what I'm trying to say, it's never as bad

178
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 2: as you think it is when things are crappy. It's

179
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: never as good as you think it is when things

180
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: are great, you know.

181
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: And I think even those back to back good defensive

182
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: performances started in Dublin probably weren't quite as good as

183
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,119
Speaker 3: we thought either, because steal down to down, they weren't.

184
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: Great, absolutely right, right, Absolutely, that's a great that's a

185
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: that's a great example as well too. But even if so,

186
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: even if you are someone who's on the complete pessimism,

187
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: it's over, they're finished, they're old, blow this thing up

188
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: side of things, I don't you can sell me on. Okay.

189
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 2: TJ is not as dominant as he was a couple

190
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: of years ago. Jalen Ramsey's not as dominant as he

191
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: was a couple of years ago. They're still great football players,

192
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: right right.

193
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: That It doesn't mean they went from defense Player of

194
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: the Year to battle They didn't go from all pros

195
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: to suck to right to be unemployed.

196
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: Exactly right. There is a middle ground there, and I'm

197
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: still convinced there's a middle ground for this defense. Again,

198
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: they might not be one of the best three units

199
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 2: in the league like we all hoped, and expected when

200
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: we left Latrobe in August. But they're they're not this either.

201
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 2: They're not that they they they can't be the team

202
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: that's given up thirty points like it's Halloween candy.

203
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, that's totally unacceptable. But it's

204
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: not like they have all replacement level guys out there either.

205
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: I mean, to me, that gives you some hope. It's

206
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 3: time to It's a crossroads.

207
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: It's across. It's a cross roads, and you could go

208
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: one of two directions and listen, it does not get easier.

209
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: You've got the you've got the Colts who are set

210
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: in the world on fire from town, and then you

211
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: have to go across the country primetime game against the

212
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: Chargers team that again maybe isn't what we thought they

213
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: were going to be a couple months ago, but it's

214
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 2: pretty good as well too, and a great quarterback, great

215
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: quarterback Joe Walt's gonna be back, the offensive line improving,

216
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: they're well coached, like they've got an identity there under Harbaugh.

217
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 2: It's a tough stretch, it absolutely is. The Bears look

218
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: much more daunting than they than they do right now. Heck,

219
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins or even winning games yea.

220
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 3: And frankly, I don't even care about what's on the.

221
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: Stode, so you're right with that. You have to get

222
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: you it's I don't want to look at my neighbors

223
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: landscaping and go, man, they've got some great mulch and

224
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: great grass and who planted those flowers? You got to

225
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: you gotta focus on your own.

226
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: Yard, yes, ten your own garden, you know. And again

227
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: I don't even care who's on the upcoming schedule as

228
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 3: much as is it just being shown that you can

229
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: hang with the big dogs, you know what I mean? Like, Okay,

230
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: maybe you do get into the playoffs, and we've seen

231
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: that story too many times where yeah, that's a heck

232
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 3: of a lot better than being the Browns. I'll fight that

233
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: to no end. I am not a blow the thing

234
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: up and be terrible for ten years guy. I would

235
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 3: much rather be in it and in it and in

236
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 3: it and see what where the chips fall. But these

237
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: last two games just shown a defense that isn't playoff,

238
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: let alone championship caliber. Well that worries me. And that's

239
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: the w you know, And the exerciser is did you know, Yes,

240
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 3: it's worrisome, right.

241
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: It's worrisome. And I think two of all the things

242
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: that we could have roadblocks for the if we were

243
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: laying out potential downfalls for this team in August again,

244
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: I think someone would have said, the defense isn't as

245
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: good as we think they are. You know, Cam is older,

246
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 2: TJ's alder, Ramsey's older, all these things. But it can't

247
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: it can't be this. It can't be this bad, right,

248
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: it can't be it can't be this bad day. You

249
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: have challenged completions, right, hey, you have you have got

250
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 2: to make it more difficult on quarterbacks. You've got to

251
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 2: make it more difficult on receivers and tight ends. And

252
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 2: that's I mean, hey, that's the task at hand here

253
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: now is they navigate what is not going to be

254
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: a fun week for anybody involved down there on.

255
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: The side should be and no one says it's supposed

256
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: to be rainbows and unicorns, right, And every team has

257
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 3: these moments.

258
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: Every coach has these moments. Like I told you, you're

259
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 2: in this league, like you have to be comfortable being uncomfortable.

260
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: It is never going to be sunshine and rainbows and and.

261
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: It's very unforgiving, and it's very very competitive and It's

262
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: a very very high end, right, and that's why we

263
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: all watch and love it.

264
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: And the Packers are what five to one and one

265
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: a pretty pretty good team in their own right. They

266
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: are absolutely but you know what, you you've got to

267
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: rise up. You got to meet that challenge and uh,

268
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: it certainly starts here in the next couple of days,

269
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: getting getting that tape digested and uh and getting the

270
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: corrections made. Matt, let's take a break here, come back

271
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: on the other side. You want to go around the

272
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: league a little bit, talk about some of the other

273
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: NFL games from Sunday. We got some of your tweets

274
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: that will close down with as well too. Well, Shooler,

275
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson. It is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio

276
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,479
Speaker 2: on the Steelers Audio Network.

277
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on your twenty four to seven

278
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: home of the Black.

279
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 5: And Goal, Steelers Nation Radio.

280
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: A busy weekend across the National Football League, A intriguing

281
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: one tonight on Monday Night football. We'll get to that

282
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: in a little bit, But Matt, what do you say

283
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: we kind of do what we always do here on

284
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: a Monday, run through the gauntlet of other NFL games

285
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: not involving are Pittsburgh Steelers.

286
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll say it's one of the least interesting

287
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 3: Mondays from that regard. Were bad teams lost, good teams

288
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 3: won very convincingly at times. And I hate to say it,

289
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: but I think you got a lump the Packers and

290
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: Steelers in there too. I mean, green Bay made a statement, Matt.

291
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to, you know, patch you on the

292
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: back too much, but you called it with Tucker Craft.

293
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: You also did say there's a chance we come in

294
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: here on Monday and we're talking about the Steelers. I

295
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: don't remember if you use the word blowout specifically, but

296
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: a game really yeah, yeah, a game that the Steelers

297
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: lost comfortably might have been.

298
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 3: The said something like that. Might come in and be like, yes, yeah, yes,

299
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 3: And I think it's safe say we're saying, uh.

300
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: And you know what not to pat ourself and now

301
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: I'm trying myself on the back. I think we did

302
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: pretty well with predicting a lot of these other games

303
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: around the league except Dolphins Falcons. But who saw that one? Yeah,

304
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: thirty four thirty four to ten to Miami in Atlanta.

305
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: They had no one to throw too. Cousins didn't even

306
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: play bad. Their tackling was terrible, their defense was terrible.

307
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 3: I'm talking about Atlanta here, and London not playing was

308
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 3: really big for them.

309
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: They miss him big time.

310
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Monday or Miami's easy to make fun of and

311
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: all that, but their offense when it starts humming, especially

312
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: in good weather, is legit.

313
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: They've got weapons. Yeah.

314
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a good offensive mind. And to Will played

315
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: his best game, Yes he did. They're still a little

316
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: dangerous like that. They're a perfect example of on any

317
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: given Sunday, maybe they could knock off a big Merrill Hodge.

318
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, underestimate an embarrassed professional, and you're absolutely right. Jets Bengals. Wow,

319
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: for the first time in his career, justin Fields, he

320
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: did it. Man, he did it. Yeah, he finally did it.

321
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: You could put that stat to bed. His defense gave

322
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: up more than twenty points and he got the w

323
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: thirty nine to thirty eight. In a crazy one. Breist

324
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: Hall ran for two touchdowns through for a touchdown, a

325
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: rough loss for the Bengals, and hey, you win that one.

326
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: You're four and four. You're a half game behind the

327
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: Steelers with a tie breaker. Yeah, now you drop that

328
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: one at home as well too, And you're back to

329
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: three and five for Cincinnati.

330
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and good for Justin. I mean, he's easy to

331
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 3: root for. I don't know if he's a long term answer,

332
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: but they're going into their by and the head coach

333
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 3: still hasn't committed to him. But I don't know why

334
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: you wouldn't. I mean at this stage, and okay, fine,

335
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: but the Bengals now are at another crossroads, is it? Yeah?

336
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 3: Henderson got hurt in that game too, Is it trade? Guys?

337
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: Does it go all in? You know? And I leaned

338
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: towards them being out of it. I thought if they

339
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: beat the Steelers, beat the Jets, like, oh no, they're

340
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 3: dangerous again. But that might have been close to the

341
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 3: final nail.

342
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: They've got the Bears at home on Sunday, probably.

343
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 3: A dog in that game. Don't you think I would

344
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: have thought that.

345
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: Past week either. Yeah, that's that rock comes down to

346
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: win or loss. There is rough one for Cincinnati for sure,

347
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: and hey, you know what, good for the Jets organization

348
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: on a rough day with the man sad tragic news

349
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: of Nick mangled just forty one years old.

350
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 3: I know I watched him in high school, offered him

351
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: a scholarship. I mean one of those guys.

352
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: I think he was one of those guys that you

353
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: know everyone didn't matter who you're rooted for across the NFL,

354
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: you knew who that guy was. You respected that guy

355
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: in his game. And uh yeah, just forty one years old,

356
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: way too young. So are our thoughts obviously with everyone

357
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: and his family and his friends. But hopefully the Jets

358
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 2: win brought brought some type of smile to their face. Yesterday.

359
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: The Patriots took care of business. Matt too. Maybe this

360
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 2: was a one other area where we were off. We

361
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: thought that this would be a like Cleveland would find

362
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: a way to hang around. Yeah, but your boy, Drake

363
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: may my goodness, continues to look at your card. Thirty

364
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: two to thirteen. The Patriots five wins in a row

365
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 2: on the bounce, there's don't don't look now. But with

366
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: a very favorable schedule the rest of the way too,

367
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: the Patriots are six and two.

368
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: I think they're going to the playoffs. They might win

369
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 3: that division, they might win the division. I mean, you

370
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: already got six wins in the bank, and again any

371
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: given Sunday, all that stuff, but the teams lined up,

372
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 3: especially with Cleveland this past week. I think Saints last week,

373
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: like they're playing the teams that we picked in the

374
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: top ten.

375
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: Like they've got the Titans coming up. I think they've

376
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: got the Bengals and the Dolphins coming up.

377
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 3: And this sounds nuts. But if they win eleven games,

378
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: May's gonna get MVP votes. Yes, I mean, he's playing

379
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 3: at that level right now. But I think because you

380
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: know where we're the airwaves were on, let's concentrate on

381
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: the Browns real quick. Jarrett had five sacks. I mean, dude,

382
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 3: it was a.

383
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: Madman first time in NFL, I think in the modern era,

384
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: like Sugar Bowl era or since they started tracking sacks,

385
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: which was.

386
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: Like nineteen eighty eighty. Yeah, I like it right around there.

387
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 2: That somebody has had five or more sacks in a

388
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: game and their team has lost by three or more points.

389
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 3: Wow.

390
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: So there had been a few instances of exactly right,

391
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: if a guy having five or more sacks and his

392
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: team loss, but it was always a three point or

393
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 2: less loss.

394
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: Which makes sense. You don't get any pass rush opportunity

395
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 3: when you're losing by a million, right, But I think

396
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 3: it's time for Shador.

397
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not?

398
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 3: I mean, I think Gabriel's very much, showing that he

399
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 3: has backed up written all over them.

400
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: We don't think about this kind of stuff in Pittsburgh

401
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: as much, Matt, But if you're Cleveland too, it might

402
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: be the time where like we got to we got

403
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: to keep people's attention. It's not even Halloween yet, Like,

404
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: we can't lose.

405
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: Somebody needs to show up and buy beers.

406
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 2: On Somebody needs to show up and spend twelve dollars

407
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: on a beer and one hundred and twenty dollars on

408
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: a jersey and fifty bucks for parking. That that might

409
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: be a good call.

410
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 3: I also know Na Djoku and Judy and those guys

411
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: will be around much longer either.

412
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: Two things that we absolutely nailed, Matt. First, the Eagles,

413
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 2: you know they they embarrassing performance on the road Thursday

414
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 2: night against the Giants. Giants had some fun at their expense.

415
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 2: Uh We figured that the Eagles would kind of, hey,

416
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 2: welcome back to reality here New York. And they did

417
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: thirty eight to twenty. They win, and for New.

418
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 3: York, handful of these contending teams, including Green Bay that

419
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: looked like, okay, we're the tier one, We're.

420
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: Starting to hit our stra Yeah. Yeah, and uh man

421
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: ugly rough injury to Cams Scataboo.

422
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I love to say his

423
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: name and sometimes make fun of them a little bit,

424
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: but that's terrible. I mean, and Giants are it's gonna

425
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 3: be a rough year.

426
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 2: It sure is. It's gonna be a long rest of

427
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: the season for them. I think one thing not to

428
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 2: pat myself on the back, Matt, but I told you

429
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: that the Bills were gonna roll. And Charlotte hadn't won

430
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 2: a game in off of two straight losses and a bye,

431
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: hadn't won a game in a month. Seventy five percent

432
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 2: Bills fans there in in Carolina forty to I mean

433
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: even I didn't think it was gonna be.

434
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: Forty dominant performance, right.

435
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: Utterly dominant. And you know, here here comes Buffalo looking

436
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: like the team that we kind of thought that they would.

437
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, James Cook just rolling all over those guys and Carolina.

438
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: What I didn't see coming is I thought Dalton would

439
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: be better for the Panthers. He was horrendousness game.

440
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah he struggled, Yeah he really did. Had that bad

441
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: interception through for just one hundred and seventy five yards. Matt.

442
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: The Ravens some signs of life. Yeah, without Lamar, they

443
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 2: moved to two and five thirty to sixteen at home

444
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 2: over the Bears, who I think they dropped early.

445
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 3: Unfortunate for the Steelers. They're back to be in the

446
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 3: Vegas favored odds this morning.

447
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 2: Ravens of the division favorite this morning once again, and according.

448
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 3: To Miami third very slight, like very slight.

449
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but still now is that in Miami or

450
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: is that.

451
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 3: In Balkets in Baltimore?

452
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: Miami plays Miami.

453
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 3: Oh, is it okay?

454
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: They're on the road for their next three at Miami,

455
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: at Minnesota, at Cleveland. That's tough.

456
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 3: Reed was brutal. Yeah, I didn't realize it.

457
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 2: Was straight road games is always a oh yeah, yeah, recipe.

458
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: And sharpen these guys. It's better in particularly have done

459
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 3: the homework and it doesn't matter who you play. But like,

460
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: if you go back in the NFL history, that third

461
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 3: game terrible, you like an eleven percent chance of winning

462
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 3: all three.

463
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: But the Ravens, they do have some signs of life.

464
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 2: They Yeah, Monty Python not dead yet. Thirty to sixteen

465
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: over Chicago and a frustrating afternoon for Caleb Williams after

466
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 2: he had shown a lot of steps forward, and the last.

467
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 3: Two weeks he's had a real hard time completing passes

468
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: and just when he was And that's the thing with

469
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: these quarterbacks. Two steps forward, one step back, one step forward,

470
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 3: two steps back, three steps forward, two steps back. You know,

471
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: like that's what he's doing right now.

472
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: Maybe also in that in that church, pew is C. J. Stroud,

473
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: he was great. He I tell you what, three hundred

474
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 2: a night very touchdowns. Don't be Texans, Monty Python. They're

475
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: not dead yet.

476
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

477
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 2: They get to three and four with a impressive twenty

478
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: six to fifteen win at home over the Niners.

479
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: So a couple of notes for this game. They used

480
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: a sixth offensive lineman more than any team in the

481
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 3: history in the in the league this whole season, including

482
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: all the Steeler Anderson stuff. It used to be Steelers dominate.

483
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: That really struggled to run the ball.

484
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they've there are lines, been a nightmare, and

485
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 3: they took a different approach. You know, coaches are allowed

486
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: to change their tune, and their young guys really stepped up.

487
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 3: They didn't have Nico, but the two Iowa State receiver

488
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 3: and Marx what he Marx all made a lot of

489
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 3: plays and Stroud was great. I mean, I'm a Stroud believer,

490
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 3: and he played. I mean, they took care of business.

491
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: They dominated time possession of this game.

492
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: They really did. They played well. I mean they won

493
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 2: by eleven, but it was I think even more comfortable

494
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 2: than that. Yeah and yeah, if Stroud plays like that

495
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: every week, they watch out because the Texans. Texans are

496
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: gonna be tough.

497
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: They could make noise.

498
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: They might be too far behind to catch the Colts

499
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: at this point, but they could. They could be one

500
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: of those wildcard d's nobody wants rolling into their stadium

501
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 2: Wildcard weekend. A buttoned up professional performance from Tampa Bay

502
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 2: matte twenty three to three over the Saints. Nothing crazy

503
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 2: from Baker Mayfield threw for just one hundred and fifty

504
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,239
Speaker 2: two yards, But again it was one of those like

505
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 2: they just controlled the game from start to finish. It

506
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: wasn't anything world beating. I mean, I know they won

507
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: by twenty points, but it didn't even look like that.

508
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: But again, Tampa is they're one of those didn't go

509
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: their way in Detroit. They respond with a twenty point

510
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 2: win on the road in the Division there, they're those

511
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 2: Tier one teams.

512
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 3: They are, and you kind of laid it out exactly.

513
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 3: I was gonna say it too. It's like they're a

514
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 3: pretty buttoned up organization that doesn't stumble very often. Okay,

515
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 3: you're losing Detroit. You lose Detroit, and then you go

516
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 3: to a team that you should win, and more so

517
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: than most teams in the league, beat the teams you

518
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: should win against. And what's interesting a little bit here

519
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 3: is maybe it's strong to say Rattler got benched. I mean,

520
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 3: he moved from the starting job to the bench. But

521
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 3: I think they want to see what they want to see.

522
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: Shot shock.

523
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 5: Ye.

524
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a knock on Rattler, but

525
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 3: it's kind of like the Shador Dylan Gabriel stuff. We

526
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 3: got these young guys, we at least need to know

527
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: because we're gonna be picking high.

528
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna be picking high. We need to know if

529
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 2: we're if we're going after a quarterback or not. Absolutely,

530
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 2: you need all those data points on those guys at

531
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: this point as you can get at Mile High Stadium.

532
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 2: The Broncos another hot team. They moved to six and

533
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: two Matt forty four to twenty four over the Cowboys.

534
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: They were able to frustrate Dak Prescott. They ran the

535
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: ball well, they looked good in those throwback uniforms too,

536
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 2: Orange crush. The Broncos are starting to meet that preseason

537
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 2: expectation and hype that I think we had.

538
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Dallas defense is really bad, their secondaries totally depleted.

539
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: Even Certaining was in and out of the lineup in

540
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: this one too. But Denver's also pretty impressive. I mean,

541
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: I think they've taken a nice step forward to Hey,

542
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: we're going to be in this thing till the end.

543
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: Tell you what, Kansas City it's like there? You know,

544
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's gonna be a fun battle down the

545
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 2: stretch between those two teams.

546
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: I think the Chiefs win the night, but they better

547
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 3: not stumbled. Chargers are strong and exactly wrong and that

548
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 3: division could put three in the playoffs, for sure.

549
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 2: It absolutely could. And the Broncos after a little bit

550
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: of a Rocky star bow Knicks looking better too. Through

551
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 2: for four touchdowns. I mean, it's that Cowboys defense we

552
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: all know, but still much better couple of weeks for

553
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: bow Nicks and Denver starting to look the part. Finally, Matt,

554
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: we kind of touched on it a little bit at

555
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: least you did with some of those. Jonathan Taylor numbers

556
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty three yards on just twelve carries.

557
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: The Colts roll at home thirty eight to fourteen over

558
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 2: the Titans. The Colts are seven to one. They're a

559
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: perfect five and zero at home. Daniel Jones twenty one

560
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: of twenty nine, two hundred and seventy two yards and

561
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: three touchdown passes.

562
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 3: I'm totally in on the Colts. I mean, I think

563
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: they're the best offense in the league, and they're good

564
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 3: on d and I think he should be Coach of

565
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: the Year and Taylor should be Offensive Player of the Year,

566
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 3: you know. I mean that's uh, he won't win MVPCA,

567
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 3: he's not a quarterback, but that that Player of the

568
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 3: Year thing is just screaming for him. That being said,

569
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 3: this Titans team is horrific and didn't have Jeffrey Simmons,

570
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 3: didn't have a couple of their best players anywhere, not

571
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 3: that they have many to give up any well. I

572
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 3: mean that they were the worst team in the league

573
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 3: last year yesterday.

574
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: And we could get into this more tomorrow when we

575
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,239
Speaker 2: do our Tuesday power rankings. But are they the if

576
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: they're thirty. If every team is you know, you're doing

577
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: the what's the spread type thing? Or like, is even

578
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: the Jets maybe a point and a half favorite over

579
00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 2: Tennessee at this point?

580
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 3: I think so even said that when the Titans beat

581
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 3: the Cardinals, everyone moved them from thirty two to like

582
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: twenty nine in the power ranks. I'm like, the Jets

583
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 3: are still better. They just are. I mean the Cardinals

584
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 3: fumbled going over the gold line and goofy stuff.

585
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the Titans. Man, I feel for cam Ward.

586
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 2: You watch that game, like his body language, he's frustrated, really.

587
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 3: Frustrated, and I really didn't play. I mean, like, you know,

588
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 3: they have like four good players and three of them

589
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 3: didn't play.

590
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: You know, I think a lot of times fans can

591
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: be hyperball. It can be like, oh, we're at rock

592
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: bottom when they're like five hundred. Yeah, but this feels

593
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 2: like I'm sure.

594
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 3: Some of the tweets were getting Steelers are at rock bottom?

595
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: Have no idea what Tennessee Titans at one and seven

596
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 2: and not much moving, not much to even hang your

597
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: hat hat on is a tough place to be in

598
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: Music City, that is for sure. There's our Sunday kind

599
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: of slate covered for you when we come back on

600
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 2: the other side. Let's close things down. I do want

601
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 2: to talk a little bit more about that Monday night

602
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 2: foot game tonight, because a key one for both of

603
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 2: these teams, for the Chiefs to kind of keep pace

604
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 2: with the Broncos and continue to look more like the

605
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs of you know, this past decade, and

606
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: for the Commanders, a team that's now three and four

607
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: and could be slipping away a little bit if you

608
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 2: drop another one from a team that was just in

609
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game last year. We'll talk a little

610
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: Monday Football, get to some of your tweets as well too,

611
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: before we get up out of here. West Shuler, Matt Williamson,

618
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: we will have our Tuesday rewind tomorrow and get some

619
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: more into this game. It's not going anywhere for the

620
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 2: next couple days. That's what happens when you lose.

621
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: We'll address it.

622
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: But we I think have done a pretty good job

623
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 2: of covering most of the major kind of day after

624
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: reactions here on this Monday before we talk about Monday

625
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: Night football and closed down with a couple tweets. I

626
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: did want to run this by you as well too.

627
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: You rightfully brought up just some of that crazy. Hey,

628
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 2: here's an early snippet at what Jonathan Taylor is doing

629
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: before we get too much into the Colts this week.

630
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: Did you see what the great Bob Labriola, the Dean

631
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: of Doom, the lord of living in his fears? He

632
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 2: might be the Minister of misery this week as well too,

633
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 2: when we talked to him on Thursday. Did you see

634
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: what he sent us about Tyler Warren?

635
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: No, it's in my inbox to open. I think I

636
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: got it while I was in the parking lot here.

637
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: It's crazy impressive stuff, But what really stands out to

638
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: me is most receiving yards by a rookie tight end

639
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: through the first eight weeks of the season in NFL history.

640
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: Tyler Warren trails only Rock Bowers and what he did

641
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: last year. Okay, by his story by like thirty some yards,

642
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: so not too far off. And Mike ditt gah all

643
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 2: the way back in nineteen sixty one.

644
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: Times were a little different back then, Dick Ga.

645
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: Dick got that Bears. Yeah. So not only is Jonathan

646
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: Taylor having one of the best rushing seasons running back

647
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 2: in league history, certainly of the twenty first century, Tyler

648
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 2: Warren is doing the same for rookie tight ends. National

649
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: end Day just crazy. Yeah, yesterday was national There is

650
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: a national day now for everything, isn't there?

651
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 3: I think?

652
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: So when's when's National radio host Day?

653
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 3: Exactly?

654
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 2: When's National podcaster Day? Around around these parts.

655
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 3: One thing about Warren, I know we'll talk a lot

656
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 3: about the Colts, but they really scheme him up well,

657
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: and much like Penn State did. Like they'll give him

658
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: carries and sweeps and direct snaps and things like that,

659
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 3: and it seems like so many times when you watch

660
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 3: him catch passes, not that he's bad on his own,

661
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 3: he's just wide open, you know. And they got a

662
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 3: lot of weapons.

663
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 2: They got a lot of that going on on the offense.

664
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: They do. They're really playing well, they're really coached well.

665
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 3: Steelers have to play a lot better to be dead team.

666
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: Yes, they do. Yes, they do. I think that is uh,

667
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: that's at the forefront of all the discussions that will

668
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 2: have over the next four days or so, as we

669
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 2: obviously will anticipate that. And you know what, on the

670
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 2: backdrop of that two Matt and we can get more

671
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: into this later in the week as well. But this

672
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: is the twenty year anniversary Sunday game of the Steelers'

673
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: Super Bowl forty championship team. These one for the Thumb,

674
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: the Jerome Bettis team in Seattle, up in Detroit, they're

675
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: all in town. They've got a big alumni thing Saturday night,

676
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 2: big alumni dinner game they're doing. And then they're all

677
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: getting honored at halftime. Okay, you can't give up thirty

678
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: plus points and get diced by the Colts with these

679
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: guys in attended camp Smith, Troy and Pasy and Potzi

680
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: and Foot.

681
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 3: Like, to me, that's not to the same level of

682
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: the Dublin game or the Rogers thing. But you feel

683
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 3: their presence. I mean, there's no doubt. You walk in

684
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 3: the sidelines and there's Troy and Ben.

685
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, come on, I've told you this before.

686
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've said this on these airwaves

687
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: here on the drive. I'm sure I did at some

688
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: point with the Steelers Blitz. Like you and I are

689
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: both very fortunate to do what we do. We say

690
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: that all the time. With that comes like we spend

691
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: a lot of time around quote unquote famous people.

692
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 3: Right right, right right.

693
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 2: It takes a lot to star strike me. It takes

694
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 2: a lot for me to get starstruck. And you know

695
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: this too, like growing up, my dad was a violinist,

696
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: bumps some shoulders with some musicians, and so everyone would

697
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: and even kind of like my dad started that to

698
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: me as a kid, like they're just normal people too,

699
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: you know, like it takes a lot for me to

700
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: get starstruck. But man, when when me Joe Green walks

701
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: in the room, you sit up. When Troy Paulamalo walks

702
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 2: by you on campus at Saint Vincent College, oh.

703
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 3: My goodness, every eye is on him still.

704
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: And there's there's a lot of a lot of those

705
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: guys around the Steelers organization, and there will be a

706
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 2: lot of those guys around this weekend. Yeah, get it,

707
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: get it done for those boys, all right.

708
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: Their presence will be felt, yes, it will, It certainly will, rightfully,

709
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 3: So Chiefs at home tonight, Matt the four and three Chiefs,

710
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: who are playing much better as of late, hosting the

711
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 3: three and four Washington Commanders, who have let a couple

712
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 3: get away and are kind of struggling and reeling a

713
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 3: little bit.

714
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: Kansas City nine and a half point favorites tonight.

715
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 3: At home, the big number. I love where Kansas City's at.

716
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 3: They're gonna be rested. Washington doesn't have Jade Daniels, that's huge,

717
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 3: but they do have Deebo and McLaurin back.

718
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: It looks like they do. They just played open.

719
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 3: He's not terrible.

720
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has played. He's one of the better backups

721
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: in the NFL. It's a tough spot for the Commanders.

722
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 3: I admit. When it was kind of during that Arthur

723
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 3: Smith falcons here, I'm like, boy, Mary Ode is shot.

724
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 3: I can't believe that he I thought his career was over.

725
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 3: He couldn't complete a pass there for a while. I'm like,

726
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 3: poor Arthur. I mean, he doesn't have anybody that can

727
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 3: do anything for him. And Mariote has gotten a lot better.

728
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 3: I mean he's a really good backup, the perfect guy

729
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 3: to back up Jayden Daniels mentor you know, not run

730
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: a different off or you know, similar offense. I'm still

731
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 3: taking the Chiefs at home Monday night.

732
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 2: I think so too. They they're really harm you and

733
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 2: I have been saying this for the last two weeks,

734
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: but I think we're all going to get to Thanksgiving

735
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 2: and be like, here come the Chiefs.

736
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're favorite.

737
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 2: They're four and three now, they'll be nine and four

738
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: at that point or something, you know. I I am

739
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 2: thinking that they have they have awoken there in Kansas City.

740
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: Their receivers are healthy now too. The raceie Rice thing

741
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 3: means a lot.

742
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: They go out tonight and beat the Commanders by two scores,

743
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 2: and that might kind of be the I can see

744
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 2: that the last the last thoughts of the Chiefs fallen

745
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 2: off this year, all right, Matt, A couple of tweets

746
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: on here to get us up out of here today.

747
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 2: A bunch of people have tweeted. Annie tweeted, Checker thirty

748
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 2: two tweeted, Mike tweeted, Will tweeted asking about your trade

749
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 2: deadline thoughts. Would you go after a receiver, would you

750
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: go after a safety, would you go after both? Something else?

751
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: We still got one more game before you really have

752
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 2: to make that decision. Now, trade deadline is eight days away.

753
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 3: My opinion on receiver hasn't changed that I'm still actively talking.

754
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 3: I mean, and Roman Wilson can we should have mentioned

755
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 3: he had a nice game.

756
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 2: Marquez Voudez Scantling visiting the Steelers today as well too.

757
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 2: I don't know if I didn't MVS in town for

758
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 2: a visit. According to Jordan.

759
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 3: Schultz, okay, so I mean they're still have the door

760
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 3: open for a bring a guy in, and I would too.

761
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 3: I mean, there's some good names out there, all these

762
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 3: of course, it goes out saying depends what you have

763
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 3: to pay in the contracts and all that stuff too.

764
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 3: We have we didn haven't talked much about the injuries.

765
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 3: I guess that's something we'll know more tomorrow. But I

766
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 3: don't have any faith that Elliott's going to be back, right,

767
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm going to plant seeds that aren't there.

768
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: And but but a lot of a lot of times too.

769
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: You can kind of the tone and posture of Mike

770
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 2: Tomlin's post game when he discusses.

771
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 3: The injuries sometimes you know, season enders, you know, kind.

772
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 2: Of sounded a little bit like the same type of

773
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 2: tone he took with Miles Killerbrew a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,

774
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: and he's he's usually he's usually very clear if he

775
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: thinks it's just bumps and bruises.

776
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 3: Associated with play, or will evaluate it later.

777
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: We'll evaluate it later in the week. When he kind

778
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: of says right away that it's you know, it's going

779
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 2: to be something significant, significant long term, that's.

780
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm not counting on Elliott for the rest of

781
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 3: the year. But well, that's more of a tomorrow project.

782
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 3: It'd be nice to say, I'd like to get a

783
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 3: six offensive lineman, but you're not going to, so I'm

784
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 3: not even gonna pretend. Yeah, Now this is more of

785
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:05,959
Speaker 3: a down the line and beat reporter conversation too. Maybe

786
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: is does Ramsey become more of a full time safety?

787
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: I was it's funny you say that. Yeah, Matt, I'm

788
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: a I'm a dork like you, but in kind of

789
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 2: a different sense. All right, So you lay there in

790
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 2: bed at night and think about what player you would

791
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 2: add from each team, and you go across the division.

792
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 2: I sit there and bed at night and lay out

793
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: the show the rest of the week in my mind.

794
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 2: And one of the things that I had for tomorrow

795
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 2: when we do our Tuesday, rewatch is to talk more

796
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 2: about Ramsey safety, especially if this is a.

797
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 3: Secondary as a whole.

798
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 2: We'll have the best guys. We'll have Mike Tomlin's press

799
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: conference tomorrow too before we go on air, so we

800
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: could have more clarity around the Seawan Elliotts, let's let's

801
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 2: table that one for tomorrow and talk.

802
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 3: Because potentially you could trade for a corner and make

803
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: sure Ramsey is safety, or you know what I mean.

804
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: Or you could just say, you know what, Joey Porter, Junior,

805
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 2: Brandon Echols, let's go.

806
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 3: Yeah. I sorting out your best five and your pecking order,

807
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 3: your best six defensive backs now is going to be

808
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 3: a challenge, and I think there's a couple of ways

809
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 3: to skin that cat.

810
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: You know, completely agree, completely agree. Funny tweet here from Brad.

811
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 2: He goes, sure, I know we're spending the day detailing

812
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: the coverage failures and the performance of the defense, but

813
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 2: let's not truly miss the momentous occurrence that we witnessed yesterday.

814
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: Spencer Anderson one target, one catch, four yards, So the

815
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 2: legend begins.

816
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 3: How about it?

817
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: And then he had to move into guard. I mean,

818
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, but that was you guys should

819
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: have seen Max Stark's jump to use a Halloween reference,

820
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 2: jumping up and down like a ten year old on

821
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: Halloween when they put on their Power Rangers. Cost to

822
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 2: Starks was so excited about that.

823
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 3: That's awesome. I can't believe they actually threw it too.

824
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 2: I can't either, especially in like a situation like that.

825
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 2: It wasn't a worth a goal line. This is a

826
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 2: gadget type play like this is like in the eck

827
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 2: in the open field, Aaron Rodgers throwing it to him.

828
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 2: A couple more here. Swing State samps and tweets and says,

829
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 2: now that we have a pretty solid sample size, what

830
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: three to five quarterbacks in college football do you think

831
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 2: are worthy of a first round pick as of now?

832
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 2: We'll get plenty more into this. On Wednesday, said, this

833
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 2: is a Wednesday around campus thing, and I'm really excited

834
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 2: for the conversation this for this week.

835
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 3: I watched more than usual college football this Saturday.

836
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 2: I'm even more excited for it than but Fernando Mendoza absolutely,

837
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: Dante Moore absolutely, Leonora's Sellers absolutely.

838
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 3: I was very impressive.

839
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 2: Sellers his maybe best performance or maybe since that opener

840
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 2: against Virginia Tech the best that he's looked. I know

841
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 2: he's only started seven games in his collegiate career, but

842
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 2: I am loving Ty Simpson, the Alabama quarterback. What we've

843
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 2: seen from sims uh Man, I really like what we've

844
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: really like what we've seen from him. So those are

845
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 2: four that I think are going to be pretty clear

846
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 2: cut if they all decide to come out, because Dante

847
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: Moore and I think Simpson too could come back for

848
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 2: another year if they wanted to. Sellers could come back.

849
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: I think Mendoza is the only one who who is

850
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: for sure coming out now he won't be the old

851
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 2: only one, but no, But there's four names for you

852
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 2: that I absolutely think are at the top of the

853
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 2: pecking order. And there's probably five other names that we

854
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 2: should discuss that we will on Wednesday.

855
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 3: And LSU made a coaching change, right Yeah, what.

856
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 2: A l already, Matt, And there's gonna be more. It's

857
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: not even Halloween. LSU, Florida, Penn State, Arkansas, Oklahoma State,

858
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech, U C l A.

859
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 3: I didn't realize there's that many that's big time program.

860
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: Big time programs. Yeah, especially Penn State, Florida.

861
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 3: LSU and Penn State. Yeah.

862
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 2: I was getting into this with Max a little bit

863
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: yesterday because you know, he's a proud Florida GA. I

864
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 2: told him, uh, you know that I think LSU is

865
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 2: a much better job and one of the top five

866
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: jobs in college football.

867
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 3: And I leaned towards you.

868
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

869
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, the unquestioned best four jobs in my in my

870
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 2: own personal, humble opinion in college football are Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, LSU,

871
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: not Georgia. They would be in the conversation for five them,

872
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 2: USC and Missionchigan would be in my conversation for when

873
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: you consider read.

874
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 3: A little behind they are but recently.

875
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 2: But the resources, the money, the recruiting area, the history

876
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 2: for job ranking best jobs, that's what you're looking for.

877
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 2: The recruit Notre Dame would be close to They're just

878
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 2: not the Oklahoma would be in the top ten. But

879
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 2: like think of the recruiting area and the money, the Texas,

880
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: you know, Alabama, LSU.

881
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 3: Trust me, I watched Texas recruiting film. It's different than

882
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 3: everywhere else. Yeah. Yeah, and and they have so.

883
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 2: Much money they do in Ohio. I mean the history,

884
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: the tradition, all those things. That's a that's a fun

885
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 2: maybe once like the draft. Maybe that's something we can

886
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 2: in the off season where we need to kill a segment.

887
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: Talk a little bit more about uh last one here

888
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 2: today Matt Chris you you laughed, and we did get

889
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: a couple of these, but this is the one I'll

890
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 2: go with. He said, Boys, I think we are way

891
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: past panic time. It's time to go straight to the

892
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: season is done. The defensive concepts haven't changed. It's mind

893
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 2: blogg boggling. Every team knows how to attack this team.

894
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: I don't dig the first part of that eval first

895
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 2: part of that of it. It's done and blow it

896
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 2: up and everything.

897
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yah, yeah, I'm not there.

898
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 2: It ain't over till it's over. But I do agree

899
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 2: that it's as you mentioned, it's it's time to change something.

900
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 2: You cannot do the definition of insanity thing. Now, seven

901
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 2: games into.

902
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 3: This, I think you have to take a microscope to

903
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 3: every aspect of your defense.

904
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 2: That's a very good way to put it, especially your past.

905
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 2: No stone left unturned, right, you know.

906
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 3: And be willing to make hard decisions. Yes, absolutely, And

907
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 3: that's again, I mean that's the deal.

908
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 2: That's it, and that is Hey, fortune favors the bold,

909
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 2: so I've been told and uh, and we'll see what

910
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: that looks like this week for the Steelers. That'll do

911
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 2: it for us today. It'll be a big day Tomorrow.

Speaker 2: that Matt brought up there as well too. We'll dive

915
