However, Kyle, 13 00:00:46,508 --> 00:00:47,948 Speaker 3: for the next couple of minutes, you're going to walk 14 00:00:47,988 --> 00:00:50,028 Speaker 3: us through the Monday night football highlight. We've got to 15 00:00:50,028 --> 00:00:52,428 Speaker 3: discuss what's going on in Pittsburgh and all of the 16 00:00:52,468 --> 00:00:54,668 Speaker 3: main characters that we care so much about when it 17 00:00:54,668 --> 00:00:56,028 Speaker 3: comes to the headlines in the NFL. 18 00:00:56,628 --> 00:00:58,308 Speaker 2: Yes, that's a great way of putting at Jamie, the 19 00:00:58,348 --> 00:00:58,908 Speaker 2: main characters. 20 00:00:58,948 --> 00:01:03,028 Speaker 1: Wereroute last night and after an incredible wildcard weekend, this 21 00:01:03,348 --> 00:01:06,788 Speaker 1: was not a competiti his final score. Now, it was 22 00:01:06,908 --> 00:01:09,868 Speaker 1: interesting early because you got the stakes and Rogers playing 23 00:01:09,868 --> 00:01:11,628 Speaker 1: his twenty second playoff game. 24 00:01:12,308 --> 00:01:12,828 Speaker 2: You got c J. 25 00:01:12,948 --> 00:01:14,788 Speaker 1: Stride, who's never lost the wild card games two and 26 00:01:14,828 --> 00:01:16,508 Speaker 1: oh so it sounds pretty good, right and seven to 27 00:01:16,508 --> 00:01:20,428 Speaker 1: three early, and the Texans were just kicking it around, sloppy, 28 00:01:20,628 --> 00:01:23,868 Speaker 1: really sloppy, and Stroud was not taking care of the ball. 29 00:01:24,588 --> 00:01:27,148 Speaker 1: He had three turnovers and says only the second time 30 00:01:27,188 --> 00:01:29,268 Speaker 1: in his entire career to have returnovers the game. He's 31 00:01:29,268 --> 00:01:33,428 Speaker 1: not a turnover guy. But two bad fumbles, one bad interception. 32 00:01:34,228 --> 00:01:36,148 Speaker 2: But the Steelers just couldn't do squat with it. They 33 00:01:36,188 --> 00:01:36,668 Speaker 2: just couldn't. 34 00:01:36,828 --> 00:01:38,748 Speaker 1: And third and goal here, they kept turning it over 35 00:01:38,788 --> 00:01:40,388 Speaker 1: and they did get a couple of field goals, but 36 00:01:41,068 --> 00:01:43,348 Speaker 1: they needed touchdowns bad. It was like the script was 37 00:01:43,348 --> 00:01:45,228 Speaker 1: there for the Steelers to steal this game, Willie, and 38 00:01:45,268 --> 00:01:46,308 Speaker 1: they just didn't read their lines. 39 00:01:46,348 --> 00:01:49,468 Speaker 4: They they couldn't capitalize, specially when momentums on their side. 40 00:01:49,548 --> 00:01:51,708 Speaker 1: And then they get in the fourth quarter and those 41 00:01:52,308 --> 00:01:55,028 Speaker 1: Dobermans that they have on the d line, they were 42 00:01:55,028 --> 00:01:56,988 Speaker 1: off the leash, you know what I'm saying. And then 43 00:01:57,668 --> 00:02:00,308 Speaker 1: picked this thing up and he didn't want to get 44 00:02:00,308 --> 00:02:02,868 Speaker 1: in the way of any of these guys, any quarterback, 45 00:02:03,028 --> 00:02:04,468 Speaker 1: let alone with a guy who was born in. 46 00:02:04,468 --> 00:02:05,188 Speaker 2: The early eighties. 47 00:02:05,548 --> 00:02:07,188 Speaker 5: It's just this is it. 48 00:02:07,268 --> 00:02:09,308 Speaker 2: Sounded like you know all you were saying about Herbert 49 00:02:09,308 --> 00:02:10,828 Speaker 2: the other night, like hit him off the field. Yeah, 50 00:02:10,868 --> 00:02:12,988 Speaker 2: it was like Rogers. Eventually they took him out. I 51 00:02:13,068 --> 00:02:13,308 Speaker 2: had to. 52 00:02:13,468 --> 00:02:15,108 Speaker 1: Eventually the end of the game, they said, why did 53 00:02:15,148 --> 00:02:16,588 Speaker 1: you go back in? He said, because it was thirty 54 00:02:16,588 --> 00:02:20,988 Speaker 1: to six the d line. The Texans smashed them. There's 55 00:02:21,028 --> 00:02:23,348 Speaker 1: Mark Quez, an old teammate from years ago on Green 56 00:02:23,388 --> 00:02:25,828 Speaker 1: Bay hugging it out. Not quite the same, the same 57 00:02:25,828 --> 00:02:27,668 Speaker 1: walking off Lambeau with his old buddy. 58 00:02:27,428 --> 00:02:28,028 Speaker 2: Random Cobb. 59 00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:31,828 Speaker 1: But thirty to six Textans to the headline and understand, Houston, 60 00:02:32,028 --> 00:02:33,028 Speaker 1: we talked about you for. 61 00:02:32,988 --> 00:02:34,948 Speaker 2: The entire opening segment of the show. It's online, you 62 00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:35,468 Speaker 2: can watch it. 63 00:02:35,468 --> 00:02:37,628 Speaker 1: We're going to talk some Steelers right now, because Aaron 64 00:02:37,708 --> 00:02:40,268 Speaker 1: Rodgers was asked a lot of questions about his future 65 00:02:40,268 --> 00:02:40,788 Speaker 1: after the loss. 66 00:02:42,588 --> 00:02:46,268 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to make any emotional decisions. Disappointed, 67 00:02:46,628 --> 00:02:50,828 Speaker 6: you know, obviously such a fun year. You know, a 68 00:02:50,828 --> 00:02:53,308 Speaker 6: lot of adversity, but a lot of a lot of form. 69 00:02:53,388 --> 00:02:55,508 Speaker 6: Been a great year, you know overall my life in 70 00:02:55,548 --> 00:02:58,228 Speaker 6: the last the last year, and this is you know, 71 00:02:58,268 --> 00:03:00,548 Speaker 6: a really good part of that coming here and being 72 00:03:00,588 --> 00:03:02,588 Speaker 6: part of this team. So it's disappointing to be sitting 73 00:03:02,588 --> 00:03:06,308 Speaker 6: here with season over, and he wanted to be here. 74 00:03:07,428 --> 00:03:09,948 Speaker 6: I'm not going to talk about that. Are how do 75 00:03:10,028 --> 00:03:14,068 Speaker 6: you approach just what you decide to do next? Just 76 00:03:14,068 --> 00:03:17,908 Speaker 6: get away and then then had the right conversations. 77 00:03:18,428 --> 00:03:21,068 Speaker 7: Did you enter tonight thinking it could be your final game? 78 00:03:23,068 --> 00:03:25,828 Speaker 6: I answered this before every game could be my final game. 79 00:03:27,908 --> 00:03:30,468 Speaker 3: I want to tread lightly here because there will be 80 00:03:30,508 --> 00:03:32,788 Speaker 3: a lot of days on this show and on many 81 00:03:32,828 --> 00:03:35,268 Speaker 3: that will discuss not only what Aaron Rodgers meant in 82 00:03:35,268 --> 00:03:37,588 Speaker 3: his playing career, his future, whether or not it's on 83 00:03:37,708 --> 00:03:39,828 Speaker 3: or off the field, but there's more at play in 84 00:03:39,828 --> 00:03:42,268 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and whether or not involves Aaron Rodgers is a 85 00:03:42,268 --> 00:03:45,268 Speaker 3: big part of it. Tom Pilasero, our NFL Network insider 86 00:03:45,308 --> 00:03:48,788 Speaker 3: with us on Good Morning Football, also the head coach 87 00:03:48,868 --> 00:03:51,468 Speaker 3: in Mike Tomlin, and his future with this team. It's 88 00:03:51,508 --> 00:03:54,468 Speaker 3: crazy that these are two figureheads in the NFL and 89 00:03:54,548 --> 00:03:57,468 Speaker 3: here we are discussing what the next couple of months 90 00:03:57,508 --> 00:03:59,348 Speaker 3: and years look like for them and their involvement with 91 00:03:59,388 --> 00:04:00,228 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers. 92 00:04:00,268 --> 00:04:01,668 Speaker 2: Well, let's start out with Aaron Rodgers. 93 00:04:01,708 --> 00:04:04,148 Speaker 7: He is forty two years old, he just wrapped up 94 00:04:04,188 --> 00:04:08,028 Speaker 7: his twenty first NFL season. By all accounts, from everything 95 00:04:08,068 --> 00:04:10,468 Speaker 7: I've been told, it has been a good experience for 96 00:04:10,508 --> 00:04:13,828 Speaker 7: the people in the Steelers building. He is very well liked. 97 00:04:14,108 --> 00:04:17,228 Speaker 7: They clearly had some level of success, though ultimately not 98 00:04:17,308 --> 00:04:20,108 Speaker 7: what they wanted to in the playoffs. And if Aaron 99 00:04:20,188 --> 00:04:23,508 Speaker 7: Rodgers wants to continue playing, the Steelers would be open 100 00:04:23,548 --> 00:04:24,308 Speaker 7: to having. 101 00:04:24,068 --> 00:04:25,668 Speaker 2: Him back in Pittsburgh. 102 00:04:25,708 --> 00:04:28,188 Speaker 7: Now, we also know with Rogers it can take him 103 00:04:28,308 --> 00:04:30,708 Speaker 7: time to make up his mind about exactly what he 104 00:04:30,788 --> 00:04:32,988 Speaker 7: wants to do. If he is going to come back 105 00:04:33,028 --> 00:04:35,668 Speaker 7: to Pittsburgh, I would anticipate they'd like an answer a 106 00:04:35,708 --> 00:04:38,908 Speaker 7: lot sooner than they got last year when Rogers signed 107 00:04:38,948 --> 00:04:41,228 Speaker 7: on in June, just in time to show up for 108 00:04:41,308 --> 00:04:44,748 Speaker 7: the mandatory mini camp. As for Mike Tomlin, he also 109 00:04:45,228 --> 00:04:50,508 Speaker 7: largely sidestepped questions about his future after the game last night, 110 00:04:50,668 --> 00:04:53,468 Speaker 7: saying that it's not time for talk. We agreed we'll 111 00:04:53,468 --> 00:04:56,508 Speaker 7: meet tomorrow and go from there. That is going to 112 00:04:56,548 --> 00:04:59,508 Speaker 7: be a conversation, of course, that involves the owner Art Rooney, 113 00:04:59,548 --> 00:05:03,148 Speaker 7: who has never shown any interest in moving on from 114 00:05:03,188 --> 00:05:06,628 Speaker 7: Mike Tomlin, but certainly for Mike Tomlin, who is now 115 00:05:06,708 --> 00:05:10,548 Speaker 7: nineteen years into his career, in Pittsburgh. There will come 116 00:05:10,628 --> 00:05:13,548 Speaker 7: at some time a point at which perhaps it's best 117 00:05:13,588 --> 00:05:16,828 Speaker 7: for everyone involved to move on. That is a conversation, 118 00:05:16,908 --> 00:05:19,548 Speaker 7: from my understanding, that would have to be initiated by 119 00:05:19,628 --> 00:05:22,188 Speaker 7: Mike Tomlin if he were decide to step away from 120 00:05:22,228 --> 00:05:24,988 Speaker 7: coaching altogether, or if potentially he would want to go 121 00:05:25,348 --> 00:05:27,708 Speaker 7: someplace else. In other words, this is not going to 122 00:05:27,708 --> 00:05:30,308 Speaker 7: be Art Rooney coming to Mike Tomlin and saying we 123 00:05:30,348 --> 00:05:32,588 Speaker 7: want to trade you, we want to hire a new 124 00:05:32,628 --> 00:05:35,028 Speaker 7: head coach. Rooney has told me in the past that 125 00:05:35,108 --> 00:05:37,868 Speaker 7: as long as you see a coach that has the 126 00:05:37,908 --> 00:05:40,548 Speaker 7: locker room, the guys believe in and you personally, as 127 00:05:40,548 --> 00:05:43,068 Speaker 7: the owner, believe in him, you do not make a change. 128 00:05:43,068 --> 00:05:45,708 Speaker 7: The Steelers have had only three head coaches over the 129 00:05:45,788 --> 00:05:48,148 Speaker 7: last half a century or so. This is not a 130 00:05:48,188 --> 00:05:51,348 Speaker 7: team that makes decisions on the fly or based upon 131 00:05:51,428 --> 00:05:54,628 Speaker 7: one game. But certainly there are some conversations that are 132 00:05:54,628 --> 00:05:56,828 Speaker 7: going to take place starting today, and it will be 133 00:05:56,868 --> 00:06:00,428 Speaker 7: fascinating to see exactly how the big picture unfolds in Pittsburgh. 134 00:06:00,468 --> 00:06:02,668 Speaker 3: Jabe, tom thank you so much. There was a lot 135 00:06:02,708 --> 00:06:05,308 Speaker 3: of positivity heading into the mind Monday night football game 136 00:06:05,348 --> 00:06:08,468 Speaker 3: with the Pittsburgh Steelers. They had a fantastic record at 137 00:06:08,468 --> 00:06:11,588 Speaker 3: home on Monday nights Willly Cologne. So to watch this 138 00:06:11,628 --> 00:06:15,588 Speaker 3: thing unfold, considering how they got in over a division rival, 139 00:06:15,748 --> 00:06:18,548 Speaker 3: considering what they were up against with their Hall of 140 00:06:18,588 --> 00:06:21,628 Speaker 3: Fame quarterback, how do you make this season go in 141 00:06:21,668 --> 00:06:23,548 Speaker 3: your mind? What do you reason with and what are 142 00:06:23,588 --> 00:06:24,748 Speaker 3: you struggling with this morning? 143 00:06:24,828 --> 00:06:28,428 Speaker 4: Well, it's complicated. Honestly, I think it starts with Aaron Rodgers. 144 00:06:28,428 --> 00:06:31,508 Speaker 4: I thought that Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers experiment worked and 145 00:06:31,548 --> 00:06:33,268 Speaker 4: we could talk to guys in that building and then 146 00:06:33,308 --> 00:06:36,188 Speaker 4: the conversations I've had, Man, they like Aaron Rodgers and 147 00:06:36,388 --> 00:06:38,308 Speaker 4: they felt like he brought into the culture and he 148 00:06:38,388 --> 00:06:40,388 Speaker 4: forced a lot of guys to grow up who they 149 00:06:40,428 --> 00:06:42,748 Speaker 4: needed to grow up within that locker room when he 150 00:06:42,828 --> 00:06:44,788 Speaker 4: talked and he barked, and we've seen the frustration of 151 00:06:44,828 --> 00:06:47,668 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. It wasn't him just being disgrown to. He 152 00:06:47,788 --> 00:06:50,628 Speaker 4: was expecting a standard, a standard that Steelers hold himself to, 153 00:06:50,908 --> 00:06:53,068 Speaker 4: and he was holding those guys feet to the fire. 154 00:06:53,748 --> 00:06:56,668 Speaker 4: I like Aaron Rodgers as a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 155 00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:58,468 Speaker 4: I think he gives us the best shot, right now 156 00:06:58,868 --> 00:07:02,308 Speaker 4: essentially that we only have a rookie quarterback sitting behind him. Nevertheless, 157 00:07:02,348 --> 00:07:04,068 Speaker 4: as far as Mike tom and I told KB and 158 00:07:04,068 --> 00:07:07,308 Speaker 4: I've said the time after time, Mike Tomlin will have 159 00:07:07,428 --> 00:07:10,748 Speaker 4: to fire himself. The Stillers won't fire Mike tom And 160 00:07:11,068 --> 00:07:13,748 Speaker 4: the main reason because of that is because stability. The 161 00:07:13,868 --> 00:07:18,108 Speaker 4: roonees that organization is about stability. Yeah, I understand people 162 00:07:18,108 --> 00:07:22,028 Speaker 4: are tired seven straight losing seasons in the playoffs. You're 163 00:07:22,068 --> 00:07:23,548 Speaker 4: not able to get over the hum. 164 00:07:25,148 --> 00:07:26,668 Speaker 2: You gotta do more, you gotta be more. 165 00:07:26,708 --> 00:07:30,188 Speaker 4: They've been mediocre, but overall, man, Mike Tomlin, I think 166 00:07:30,268 --> 00:07:32,028 Speaker 4: has to do an audit. You know, I thought this 167 00:07:32,108 --> 00:07:35,268 Speaker 4: defense underperformed. This is supposed to be one of the 168 00:07:35,428 --> 00:07:38,068 Speaker 4: one of the best defenses going into the league. The 169 00:07:38,268 --> 00:07:41,348 Speaker 4: start of this season, they didn't perform at a high level. Offensively, 170 00:07:41,388 --> 00:07:43,828 Speaker 4: they were clunked. The clunky you talk about Pat fire 171 00:07:43,868 --> 00:07:44,948 Speaker 4: move who I thought it was supposed to be an 172 00:07:44,948 --> 00:07:48,068 Speaker 4: impact player. Find him on tape. Johnald Smithson. He had 173 00:07:48,068 --> 00:07:50,628 Speaker 4: a big disconnect with Aaron Rodgers all and on and on. 174 00:07:50,708 --> 00:07:52,908 Speaker 4: You could look at sore spots on this offense. They're 175 00:07:52,908 --> 00:07:54,788 Speaker 4: gonna have to go in the offseason and really figure 176 00:07:54,788 --> 00:07:56,948 Speaker 4: out how can they get more out of this offense 177 00:07:56,988 --> 00:08:00,708 Speaker 4: and more out of guys they expected to be impact players. Nevertheless, Man, 178 00:08:00,828 --> 00:08:03,348 Speaker 4: I would bring Mike Tomlin back. I will bring Aaron 179 00:08:03,388 --> 00:08:05,908 Speaker 4: Rodgers back, and I would do a serious audit, especially 180 00:08:05,948 --> 00:08:08,828 Speaker 4: starting with our coordinators and on down the roster. Man, 181 00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:11,388 Speaker 4: the Steelers should be better. They need to be better, 182 00:08:11,628 --> 00:08:13,148 Speaker 4: and I would run it back with Mike Tomlin. 183 00:08:13,588 --> 00:08:16,308 Speaker 8: Yeah, Willie, I echo what you just said about an audit, 184 00:08:16,388 --> 00:08:19,668 Speaker 8: because the truth of the matter is the offense did 185 00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:22,708 Speaker 8: look better, not drastically better, but a little bit better 186 00:08:22,748 --> 00:08:25,668 Speaker 8: in points. They scored a little bit more points than 187 00:08:25,748 --> 00:08:28,308 Speaker 8: they did last year. The biggest thing for me is 188 00:08:28,388 --> 00:08:31,228 Speaker 8: their identity is that defense. And to your point, Willie, 189 00:08:31,228 --> 00:08:33,788 Speaker 8: they took a step back. In my opinion, there wasn't 190 00:08:34,108 --> 00:08:37,428 Speaker 8: that dominant steel curtain defense that we've been used to seeing. 191 00:08:37,588 --> 00:08:38,268 Speaker 5: You see TJ. 192 00:08:38,348 --> 00:08:41,908 Speaker 8: Waught and Alex high Smith and Nick Kurbig and Cam 193 00:08:41,908 --> 00:08:44,428 Speaker 8: Hayward do their thing. And then the linebacker position, you 194 00:08:44,468 --> 00:08:47,308 Speaker 8: know there was there wasn't that stout middle guy that 195 00:08:47,388 --> 00:08:49,748 Speaker 8: could run silent to siland and make all of those plays. 196 00:08:49,788 --> 00:08:52,228 Speaker 8: And I think Fitzpatrick not being there was a huge 197 00:08:52,308 --> 00:08:54,588 Speaker 8: hit for him because Fitzpatrick, he was one of those 198 00:08:54,588 --> 00:08:56,708 Speaker 8: guys Minka Fitzpatrick I'm referring to as one of those 199 00:08:56,708 --> 00:08:58,428 Speaker 8: guys that he was so cerebral. He was one of 200 00:08:58,468 --> 00:09:01,948 Speaker 8: those those guys back there that could command everybody and 201 00:09:01,948 --> 00:09:03,548 Speaker 8: make sure that all of those guys were doing the 202 00:09:03,628 --> 00:09:06,588 Speaker 8: right thing. And in special teams as well, there were 203 00:09:06,628 --> 00:09:09,548 Speaker 8: so many times last year where I saw dynamic returns, 204 00:09:09,628 --> 00:09:12,988 Speaker 8: pump blocks, A lot of big plays are made on 205 00:09:12,988 --> 00:09:15,868 Speaker 8: a special team. So if I am Mike Tomlin and 206 00:09:16,228 --> 00:09:18,588 Speaker 8: he does come back, I just think that there has 207 00:09:18,628 --> 00:09:21,708 Speaker 8: to be a major look inside as to how are 208 00:09:21,748 --> 00:09:24,108 Speaker 8: we doing things on that level, because the fact of 209 00:09:24,148 --> 00:09:26,148 Speaker 8: the matter is, I thought that the Steelers this year 210 00:09:26,188 --> 00:09:28,868 Speaker 8: in twenty twenty five, regardless of their quarterback, did take 211 00:09:28,908 --> 00:09:29,428 Speaker 8: a step back. 212 00:09:29,508 --> 00:09:33,748 Speaker 1: KB Well, the quarterback you mentioned, and let's look at 213 00:09:33,788 --> 00:09:37,188 Speaker 1: the Rogers crossroads here by the criteria that we know 214 00:09:37,428 --> 00:09:40,668 Speaker 1: having covered this league long enough, there are reasons that 215 00:09:40,708 --> 00:09:44,268 Speaker 1: the all time greats walk away so they take a 216 00:09:44,348 --> 00:09:46,428 Speaker 1: huge hit, or they take too many hits and they 217 00:09:46,468 --> 00:09:48,708 Speaker 1: just can't take the hits anymore. We've seen that several times. 218 00:09:48,828 --> 00:09:52,908 Speaker 1: Legends that I hugely respect, Traikeman Steve Young. Certainly Kurt 219 00:09:52,948 --> 00:09:54,428 Speaker 1: took a bunch of hits at the end of his career. 220 00:09:54,588 --> 00:09:57,588 Speaker 1: That's not the case here. The arms not there anymore. 221 00:09:57,668 --> 00:09:59,868 Speaker 1: We've seen legends that you can tell watching the arms 222 00:09:59,908 --> 00:10:00,308 Speaker 1: that's not there. 223 00:10:00,308 --> 00:10:01,348 Speaker 2: I don't think that's the case. 224 00:10:02,348 --> 00:10:04,668 Speaker 1: They walk off with the championship and it's done, that's 225 00:10:04,668 --> 00:10:05,108 Speaker 1: not the case. 226 00:10:05,148 --> 00:10:06,148 Speaker 2: It's not John Elway. 227 00:10:06,628 --> 00:10:09,348 Speaker 1: Then there's the team is ready to move on and 228 00:10:09,388 --> 00:10:11,268 Speaker 1: there's not really a place for them anymore. That one 229 00:10:11,308 --> 00:10:14,068 Speaker 1: is TBD. I'm actually not sure if the Steelers want 230 00:10:14,068 --> 00:10:16,548 Speaker 1: back or if they should. And then I have to 231 00:10:16,588 --> 00:10:19,028 Speaker 1: say this one, and this is really personal about Rogers, 232 00:10:19,068 --> 00:10:22,028 Speaker 1: but I think it is valid. You want to go 233 00:10:22,068 --> 00:10:23,788 Speaker 1: home and be with your kids, and you want to 234 00:10:23,868 --> 00:10:25,428 Speaker 1: raise your kids, and I want to coach my kids' 235 00:10:25,428 --> 00:10:26,508 Speaker 1: football game, and I want. 236 00:10:26,348 --> 00:10:28,108 Speaker 2: To take my kid to school and all that. Listen, 237 00:10:28,108 --> 00:10:29,428 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers does not have children. 238 00:10:30,388 --> 00:10:32,908 Speaker 1: So I think that is something that maybe plays a 239 00:10:32,988 --> 00:10:35,308 Speaker 1: role in this, in that you know, Willie, you're a 240 00:10:35,348 --> 00:10:38,068 Speaker 1: player like this is a huge factor in retirement for 241 00:10:38,108 --> 00:10:40,068 Speaker 1: guys who still have football in them and don't maybe 242 00:10:40,108 --> 00:10:42,788 Speaker 1: don't want to play anymore. I think there's a lot 243 00:10:42,828 --> 00:10:45,428 Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers, where there is a home in football, 244 00:10:45,468 --> 00:10:46,828 Speaker 1: and there's a home in the locker room. 245 00:10:46,828 --> 00:10:48,548 Speaker 2: And he's done this for over two decades. 246 00:10:48,548 --> 00:10:51,708 Speaker 1: And he has brothers and family and things that people 247 00:10:51,748 --> 00:10:54,828 Speaker 1: that he leans on emotionally. He has his whole circle 248 00:10:54,868 --> 00:10:56,868 Speaker 1: outside of course as well. But I do think that 249 00:10:56,908 --> 00:10:59,308 Speaker 1: there's a factor that that makes him unique. It is very, 250 00:10:59,588 --> 00:11:02,188 Speaker 1: very unique that someone of his age and stature in 251 00:11:02,188 --> 00:11:04,228 Speaker 1: the league is someone who does not have children at home. 252 00:11:05,028 --> 00:11:06,748 Speaker 1: So I don't know what he's gonna do. Guys like 253 00:11:06,828 --> 00:11:08,748 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a foregone conclusion. I know we're 254 00:11:08,788 --> 00:11:11,468 Speaker 1: seeing these hugs and these walk offs, But this guy 255 00:11:11,708 --> 00:11:14,348 Speaker 1: is a lot of things, and mer curial is one 256 00:11:14,388 --> 00:11:16,828 Speaker 1: of them. A week from now, he could say I'm 257 00:11:16,868 --> 00:11:19,228 Speaker 1: coming back and I talked to Mike and I talked 258 00:11:19,268 --> 00:11:21,228 Speaker 1: to the Roonies, and we're gonna do this thing one 259 00:11:21,308 --> 00:11:24,468 Speaker 1: more time. Because he loved this, and I think that 260 00:11:24,508 --> 00:11:26,588 Speaker 1: when he was done with the Jets, I don't think 261 00:11:26,628 --> 00:11:29,188 Speaker 1: he felt whole. I think he felt like, I don't 262 00:11:29,228 --> 00:11:30,948 Speaker 1: want to go out like this. I hated the Jets, 263 00:11:30,948 --> 00:11:33,588 Speaker 1: I hated this experience, all this. I think he loved this. 264 00:11:34,388 --> 00:11:36,908 Speaker 1: So maybe that means all right. That was a really 265 00:11:36,948 --> 00:11:39,228 Speaker 1: classy season, and I finished in a playoff game, and 266 00:11:39,588 --> 00:11:42,988 Speaker 1: now I can walk off or I don't see anybody 267 00:11:43,108 --> 00:11:45,548 Speaker 1: laying and waiting to be the Steelers quarterback. I don't 268 00:11:45,588 --> 00:11:48,028 Speaker 1: see them mustering me out the door. My arm is live, 269 00:11:48,188 --> 00:11:50,268 Speaker 1: my body feels good. I was uninjured and then the 270 00:11:50,268 --> 00:11:53,788 Speaker 1: whole I think I'm coming back. I don't know, but 271 00:11:53,868 --> 00:11:57,148 Speaker 1: I know that the major factors that usher people out 272 00:11:57,708 --> 00:12:00,148 Speaker 1: are not there for him. There is not this glad 273 00:12:00,268 --> 00:12:02,988 Speaker 1: he's not too old, he's not injured, he's not taking 274 00:12:02,988 --> 00:12:05,268 Speaker 1: too many hits. There's not and e conld have been started 275 00:12:05,268 --> 00:12:08,388 Speaker 1: for the Steelers, and he doesn't have six year olds 276 00:12:08,388 --> 00:12:09,148 Speaker 1: at home saying. 277 00:12:08,988 --> 00:12:11,988 Speaker 2: Daddy, why do you have to go to work? Pick arisen. 278 00:12:12,108 --> 00:12:14,908 Speaker 1: I don't think any of them are there, so if 279 00:12:14,908 --> 00:12:16,988 Speaker 1: I had to press, I actually think he may do 280 00:12:16,988 --> 00:12:17,388 Speaker 1: it again. 281 00:12:18,228 --> 00:12:18,708 Speaker 5: All right? 282 00:12:19,068 --> 00:12:21,468 Speaker 3: What about Mike Tomlin, then Kyle, because a lot of 283 00:12:21,468 --> 00:12:24,108 Speaker 3: what you just said involves Aaron Rodgers walking back into 284 00:12:24,148 --> 00:12:27,068 Speaker 3: the building, and is that man involved in being the 285 00:12:27,108 --> 00:12:28,468 Speaker 3: head coach in that circumstance? 286 00:12:28,508 --> 00:12:29,188 Speaker 2: And how do you see? 287 00:12:29,188 --> 00:12:30,708 Speaker 3: How do you feel this thing goes down? 288 00:12:32,108 --> 00:12:34,988 Speaker 1: I've done this before, where a year ago I made 289 00:12:35,028 --> 00:12:37,948 Speaker 1: the speech, and I said that I know if you 290 00:12:38,108 --> 00:12:41,148 Speaker 1: fire Mike Tomlin, that's twenty other teams would hire him. 291 00:12:41,148 --> 00:12:41,628 Speaker 2: In a second. 292 00:12:42,348 --> 00:12:44,828 Speaker 1: Twenty other teams would also line up to have a 293 00:12:44,828 --> 00:12:45,988 Speaker 1: winning season every year. 294 00:12:46,148 --> 00:12:47,188 Speaker 2: That's they would love that. 295 00:12:48,068 --> 00:12:50,308 Speaker 1: But the Steelers are supposed to be something different. The 296 00:12:50,308 --> 00:12:52,508 Speaker 1: Steelers are supposed to be about super Bowls. They're not 297 00:12:52,668 --> 00:12:54,748 Speaker 1: the only part of that club of maybe four or 298 00:12:54,828 --> 00:12:57,428 Speaker 1: five teams that applies to They started that club. 299 00:12:57,468 --> 00:12:58,748 Speaker 2: They're the president of that club. 300 00:12:59,428 --> 00:13:01,668 Speaker 1: So I turned a Willie next to me and let 301 00:13:01,708 --> 00:13:03,748 Speaker 1: me tell let me tell you a story. So when 302 00:13:03,748 --> 00:13:06,348 Speaker 1: the Steelers law lost to Buffalo six weeks ago whatever 303 00:13:06,388 --> 00:13:08,388 Speaker 1: it was, and they were chanting fire Tom and fire 304 00:13:08,428 --> 00:13:11,228 Speaker 1: Tom and fire Tomlin, I turned to Williams Studio, who 305 00:13:11,268 --> 00:13:13,708 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl with the Steelers. I said, what 306 00:13:13,708 --> 00:13:14,988 Speaker 1: do you think do you think they let him go? 307 00:13:15,148 --> 00:13:15,308 Speaker 9: Well? 308 00:13:15,348 --> 00:13:18,148 Speaker 1: They no, no, no, no, no. You said, there's no way 309 00:13:18,148 --> 00:13:19,508 Speaker 1: they ever let them go. And I go, well, come on, 310 00:13:19,548 --> 00:13:22,188 Speaker 1: there's a way. They lost the Buffalo. Certainly, if they 311 00:13:22,228 --> 00:13:24,628 Speaker 1: lose the rest of their games, they could let them go. 312 00:13:25,188 --> 00:13:27,188 Speaker 1: So you still said, no, can we come in studio 313 00:13:27,268 --> 00:13:30,988 Speaker 1: here please, so I can conclude William. Thank thank you, 314 00:13:31,028 --> 00:13:34,068 Speaker 1: there we go. Thank you. You still said there's nothing 315 00:13:34,108 --> 00:13:36,388 Speaker 1: they could do. They will never let them go, And 316 00:13:37,028 --> 00:13:40,908 Speaker 1: so why is that? It's great consistency? Like what the hell? 317 00:13:41,268 --> 00:13:42,948 Speaker 1: We are living in an era where the Ravens is 318 00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:45,788 Speaker 1: like a John Harbaugh, which in a weird way made 319 00:13:46,108 --> 00:13:48,508 Speaker 1: affect this thing. You know what I'm saying, Like, do 320 00:13:48,588 --> 00:13:51,188 Speaker 1: you think there's a zero percent chance that a few 321 00:13:51,228 --> 00:13:53,148 Speaker 1: days from now, we're saying the Steelers and Mike Tomlin 322 00:13:53,348 --> 00:13:54,148 Speaker 1: decided part ways? 323 00:13:54,348 --> 00:13:56,108 Speaker 4: Yeah, once again, I think Mike tom might have to 324 00:13:56,188 --> 00:13:58,348 Speaker 4: fire himself. I also take Tom said it's something that 325 00:13:58,428 --> 00:14:01,948 Speaker 4: was important. The Rooneyes would They will only make that 326 00:14:01,988 --> 00:14:03,988 Speaker 4: type of decision if they felt like they were done 327 00:14:03,988 --> 00:14:06,948 Speaker 4: with Mike and his leadership, if they feel like he's 328 00:14:06,988 --> 00:14:07,788 Speaker 4: lost the locker room. 329 00:14:07,788 --> 00:14:08,948 Speaker 5: That's never going to be the case. 330 00:14:09,028 --> 00:14:10,748 Speaker 4: There's too many guys in that locker and that respect 331 00:14:10,828 --> 00:14:12,188 Speaker 4: him and how he goes about his business. 332 00:14:12,228 --> 00:14:15,868 Speaker 1: Seven straight playoff losses, and in most of those losses 333 00:14:15,908 --> 00:14:18,548 Speaker 1: they get crushed double digit. So I know they get 334 00:14:18,588 --> 00:14:20,628 Speaker 1: to the playoffs every year, but it's like they don't 335 00:14:20,668 --> 00:14:22,228 Speaker 1: do it. Not only do they lose, like it's it's 336 00:14:22,268 --> 00:14:23,788 Speaker 1: really bad it's a bad product. 337 00:14:23,868 --> 00:14:25,948 Speaker 2: Well, I think they don't follow the NFL norms. 338 00:14:25,948 --> 00:14:29,348 Speaker 4: We've seen so many organizations fall into the world of 339 00:14:29,388 --> 00:14:30,108 Speaker 4: being impulsive. 340 00:14:30,148 --> 00:14:31,628 Speaker 2: Man, I don't think that's who they are. 341 00:14:31,788 --> 00:14:35,588 Speaker 4: They believe in Mike Tomlin and listen, there's some there's 342 00:14:35,628 --> 00:14:38,108 Speaker 4: some things I think internally they're gonna have to fix, 343 00:14:38,148 --> 00:14:40,308 Speaker 4: and they have to fix in the offseason. They got 344 00:14:40,308 --> 00:14:41,908 Speaker 4: to figure out what's going on with this defense. That 345 00:14:42,188 --> 00:14:44,268 Speaker 4: and the reason why I underperformed. They got to figure 346 00:14:44,268 --> 00:14:46,148 Speaker 4: out what's going on with Aaron Rodgers next season, and 347 00:14:46,148 --> 00:14:47,748 Speaker 4: they gotta figure out how can they get a number 348 00:14:47,788 --> 00:14:50,908 Speaker 4: two receiver outside of DK Metcalf. There's things they can 349 00:14:50,988 --> 00:14:52,988 Speaker 4: handle in the off season that can turn it to 350 00:14:52,988 --> 00:14:54,948 Speaker 4: can turn the tides. But as far as that man 351 00:14:55,028 --> 00:14:56,628 Speaker 4: right there, he's going to be the face of the 352 00:14:56,668 --> 00:14:58,548 Speaker 4: franchise until he decides to walk away. 353 00:14:58,748 --> 00:15:00,028 Speaker 5: Bottom line, I know for a lot. 354 00:14:59,948 --> 00:15:02,068 Speaker 4: Of people out there hearing that, they're tired of it. 355 00:15:02,268 --> 00:15:04,428 Speaker 4: They tired of Sam old story who listen to the 356 00:15:04,468 --> 00:15:07,348 Speaker 4: same old song. But stability wins man. And you look 357 00:15:07,348 --> 00:15:10,228 Speaker 4: at all these organizations who fired their guy, even though 358 00:15:10,268 --> 00:15:12,348 Speaker 4: they may have had some belief, it felt like, man, 359 00:15:12,508 --> 00:15:15,228 Speaker 4: well we just needed change into the page. Well, you're 360 00:15:15,228 --> 00:15:17,228 Speaker 4: still looking for your guy there Stillers don't want to 361 00:15:17,228 --> 00:15:18,748 Speaker 4: be in that position, and they feel like they got 362 00:15:18,788 --> 00:15:20,548 Speaker 4: the right guy for the job and they're gonna stick 363 00:15:20,588 --> 00:15:21,388 Speaker 4: with Willie. 364 00:15:21,428 --> 00:15:23,708 Speaker 8: I got a question because this is how I saw it, 365 00:15:23,828 --> 00:15:26,828 Speaker 8: and correct me, you know, with how you believe because 366 00:15:27,228 --> 00:15:30,148 Speaker 8: when I look at that division, their biggest competitor is 367 00:15:30,148 --> 00:15:32,268 Speaker 8: their biggest rival, and that's the Baltimore Ravens. Now, the 368 00:15:32,268 --> 00:15:36,028 Speaker 8: Baltimore Ravens are going through a coaching change, and in 369 00:15:36,108 --> 00:15:38,388 Speaker 8: my mind, if you're going to make a coaching change, 370 00:15:38,388 --> 00:15:40,988 Speaker 8: if you're the Steelers, this is the opportune time to 371 00:15:41,028 --> 00:15:44,148 Speaker 8: do it before the Ravens actually hire somebody that starts 372 00:15:44,188 --> 00:15:47,108 Speaker 8: to get things rolling. And once they start rolling, then 373 00:15:47,148 --> 00:15:48,988 Speaker 8: I don't know what else. I don't know what to 374 00:15:48,988 --> 00:15:52,548 Speaker 8: picture that, But what are your feelings in regards to that? Like, 375 00:15:53,268 --> 00:15:55,668 Speaker 8: this is that moment for me, because if the Ravens 376 00:15:55,668 --> 00:15:58,268 Speaker 8: do make the right hire and they start to they 377 00:15:58,308 --> 00:16:00,348 Speaker 8: start to go in a direction that starts to leave 378 00:16:00,668 --> 00:16:04,228 Speaker 8: everybody behind. And here's the Steelers where it's to kb's points, 379 00:16:04,508 --> 00:16:06,268 Speaker 8: same thing. Every single year they make it to the 380 00:16:06,268 --> 00:16:08,228 Speaker 8: wild called round and then they lose, and they lose 381 00:16:08,268 --> 00:16:11,028 Speaker 8: by a lot. I think that that Ravens start to 382 00:16:11,068 --> 00:16:12,268 Speaker 8: distance themselves a little bit. 383 00:16:12,308 --> 00:16:13,188 Speaker 5: How do you see that will? 384 00:16:13,268 --> 00:16:14,908 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's a lot of ifs there right 385 00:16:14,988 --> 00:16:17,228 Speaker 4: If they get the right guy, if that guy relates 386 00:16:17,268 --> 00:16:19,588 Speaker 4: to Lamar Jackson, if he can get that defense up 387 00:16:19,588 --> 00:16:21,828 Speaker 4: and running and get back to Raven form, there's a 388 00:16:21,868 --> 00:16:22,388 Speaker 4: lot of ifs. 389 00:16:22,508 --> 00:16:23,948 Speaker 5: There's no ifs with Mike Tomlin. 390 00:16:24,228 --> 00:16:25,708 Speaker 2: You know what you're getting year after year. 391 00:16:25,748 --> 00:16:27,708 Speaker 4: You're gonna get a win the season, you're landing the 392 00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:29,788 Speaker 4: playoffs with the opportunity to win a playoff game. 393 00:16:30,068 --> 00:16:30,868 Speaker 2: That's stability. 394 00:16:30,868 --> 00:16:33,228 Speaker 4: And I think Mike Tomlin and his leadership right now, 395 00:16:33,308 --> 00:16:34,588 Speaker 4: the guys in that building. 396 00:16:34,468 --> 00:16:35,988 Speaker 2: Still believe in him. I was there. 397 00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:38,148 Speaker 4: I was with KB, I was in training camp, I 398 00:16:38,188 --> 00:16:39,108 Speaker 4: was walking around the field. 399 00:16:39,188 --> 00:16:40,268 Speaker 2: I was talking to those guys. 400 00:16:40,428 --> 00:16:42,068 Speaker 4: The way he speaks to those guys in the locker 401 00:16:42,108 --> 00:16:43,828 Speaker 4: room and the way they listen to him, and the 402 00:16:43,868 --> 00:16:47,428 Speaker 4: way they function internally. It's not like it's not something 403 00:16:47,468 --> 00:16:49,988 Speaker 4: you see around the league. They believe when he talks. 404 00:16:49,988 --> 00:16:51,628 Speaker 4: They believe every word that comes out of his mouth. 405 00:16:51,788 --> 00:16:54,068 Speaker 4: And I think for the still a nation right now, 406 00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:57,308 Speaker 4: it's okay to be exhausted. It's okay to be frustrated 407 00:16:57,628 --> 00:16:59,748 Speaker 4: with the lack of result coming out of Mike Tomlan 408 00:16:59,788 --> 00:17:03,548 Speaker 4: and his campaign. But I tell you covering the Jets, man, 409 00:17:03,668 --> 00:17:06,948 Speaker 4: they would die for Mike Tomlin. Being on sports talk radio, 410 00:17:07,028 --> 00:17:09,588 Speaker 4: listen to the Giants, they would die for Mike Tomlin. 411 00:17:09,788 --> 00:17:12,188 Speaker 4: Go down to Miami right now, they would die for 412 00:17:12,308 --> 00:17:14,948 Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin. So we can talk about all this Mike 413 00:17:14,988 --> 00:17:18,188 Speaker 4: Tomlin hey, and how he continues to underperform, and how 414 00:17:18,548 --> 00:17:21,668 Speaker 4: you know his hires aren't really successful in the coaching tree, 415 00:17:21,788 --> 00:17:24,948 Speaker 4: it is really non existent. Nevertheless, man, to have an 416 00:17:24,988 --> 00:17:27,388 Speaker 4: opportunity to place at table year after the year, there's 417 00:17:27,428 --> 00:17:29,148 Speaker 4: something to be said for that. And you got a 418 00:17:29,148 --> 00:17:32,148 Speaker 4: coach who's able to speak speaking to young men, transform 419 00:17:32,228 --> 00:17:33,908 Speaker 4: him not only off the field but on the field, 420 00:17:34,148 --> 00:17:35,548 Speaker 4: and make them mento ballplayers. 421 00:17:35,588 --> 00:17:35,868 Speaker 10: Man. 422 00:17:36,068 --> 00:17:38,548 Speaker 2: Yes, it was a down season, but talk about everything. 423 00:17:38,548 --> 00:17:41,308 Speaker 4: This team has had to overcome division champs, man, I 424 00:17:41,388 --> 00:17:45,508 Speaker 4: mean everything. So you're talking about firing, booing, a m renegade, 425 00:17:45,548 --> 00:17:46,228 Speaker 4: on and on and on. 426 00:17:46,428 --> 00:17:48,788 Speaker 2: He's he's been able to overcome all of it. So 427 00:17:49,188 --> 00:17:50,148 Speaker 2: feel how you feel. 428 00:17:50,548 --> 00:17:52,348 Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin will be the head coach for the Pittsburgh 429 00:17:52,348 --> 00:17:54,548 Speaker 4: Steelers until he decides he doesn't want to be well. 430 00:17:54,548 --> 00:17:56,988 Speaker 3: And part of that decision, Willy is the fact that 431 00:17:57,028 --> 00:17:59,948 Speaker 3: not only can he speak and his messaging resonates with 432 00:17:59,988 --> 00:18:02,148 Speaker 3: young men, it resonates with the general public as well. 433 00:18:02,188 --> 00:18:04,508 Speaker 3: And there's often times conjecture that could Mike tom and 434 00:18:04,548 --> 00:18:06,908 Speaker 3: appear on a television set near you at some point 435 00:18:07,068 --> 00:18:09,388 Speaker 3: or on a streaming service, depending on how the NFL works, 436 00:18:09,468 --> 00:18:11,828 Speaker 3: certain personalities in the NFL and the head coaches go, 437 00:18:12,108 --> 00:18:14,388 Speaker 3: it would be excellent on TV, and that's certainly always 438 00:18:14,428 --> 00:18:17,108 Speaker 3: an option for him. Tom Pellisaro'll get back in here 439 00:18:17,388 --> 00:18:20,788 Speaker 3: elsewhere in the AFC, nor specifically after that Steelers Ravens game. 440 00:18:20,828 --> 00:18:23,148 Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago, the Ravens decided to move 441 00:18:23,148 --> 00:18:24,228 Speaker 3: on from John Harbaugh. 442 00:18:24,588 --> 00:18:25,908 Speaker 2: How is his week working out? 443 00:18:25,948 --> 00:18:27,988 Speaker 3: With some interviews that I'm sure he is engaging in. 444 00:18:28,508 --> 00:18:32,428 Speaker 7: John Harbaugh has spoken by phone with the seven not 445 00:18:32,708 --> 00:18:36,108 Speaker 7: Ravens teams that currently have head coaching vacancies. He has 446 00:18:36,148 --> 00:18:39,948 Speaker 7: spoken with many people who know those organizations. He has 447 00:18:39,988 --> 00:18:42,588 Speaker 7: done his homework, he has watched tape. He is trying 448 00:18:42,588 --> 00:18:46,148 Speaker 7: to narrow down his options at this point. My understanding 449 00:18:46,268 --> 00:18:49,468 Speaker 7: is the plan is for Harbaugh to meet in person 450 00:18:49,588 --> 00:18:52,388 Speaker 7: with somewhere between two to four teams over. 451 00:18:52,188 --> 00:18:52,988 Speaker 2: This next week. 452 00:18:53,028 --> 00:18:53,228 Speaker 6: Here. 453 00:18:53,508 --> 00:18:56,748 Speaker 7: At that point, remember next Monday, coaches who work currently 454 00:18:56,748 --> 00:18:59,868 Speaker 7: with NFL teams can begin meeting in person as well. 455 00:18:59,908 --> 00:19:02,948 Speaker 7: So the timeline right now is for John Harbaugh to 456 00:19:02,948 --> 00:19:06,228 Speaker 7: have all these different potential options lined up and decide 457 00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:09,148 Speaker 7: exactly what he wants to do. At this point, none 458 00:19:09,188 --> 00:19:12,108 Speaker 7: of those interviews have been scheduled that could happen over 459 00:19:12,148 --> 00:19:14,988 Speaker 7: the next day or two. The Falcons announced yesterday they 460 00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:17,788 Speaker 7: had completed an interview with Harbaugh. Miner Sandy Is that 461 00:19:17,908 --> 00:19:20,308 Speaker 7: was another just phone call or zoom. He's not had 462 00:19:20,348 --> 00:19:23,388 Speaker 7: like a formal interview just yet. So where could John 463 00:19:23,428 --> 00:19:26,188 Speaker 7: Harbaugh potentially end up again? 464 00:19:26,348 --> 00:19:27,668 Speaker 2: All seven teams. 465 00:19:27,308 --> 00:19:29,948 Speaker 7: Have spoken to Harbaugh that currently have vacancies, but I 466 00:19:29,988 --> 00:19:32,428 Speaker 7: would focus on just a few of them. The New 467 00:19:32,508 --> 00:19:35,068 Speaker 7: York Giants have been putting the hard sell on ever 468 00:19:35,108 --> 00:19:38,628 Speaker 7: since Harball was fired by the Baltimore Ravens. Certainly there's 469 00:19:38,628 --> 00:19:40,708 Speaker 7: a lot to like about New York in terms of 470 00:19:40,748 --> 00:19:43,468 Speaker 7: having the quarterback in Jackson Dart some other young talent 471 00:19:43,548 --> 00:19:47,108 Speaker 7: on that roster. Miami Dolphins have shown some level of 472 00:19:47,268 --> 00:19:52,068 Speaker 7: interest in John Harbaugh as well. The Atlanta Falcons certainly 473 00:19:52,108 --> 00:19:54,588 Speaker 7: are interested. That's the one place that does not have 474 00:19:54,748 --> 00:19:58,228 Speaker 7: a GM in place, meaning Harbaugh potentially could bring someone 475 00:19:58,468 --> 00:20:01,268 Speaker 7: he's familiar with on the personnel side. And then I 476 00:20:01,348 --> 00:20:04,068 Speaker 7: mentioned this on game day morning over the weekend, don't 477 00:20:04,108 --> 00:20:07,788 Speaker 7: count out the Tennessee Titans. It's a great place to live. 478 00:20:07,828 --> 00:20:10,308 Speaker 7: They got a new stadium opening, cam Ward played better 479 00:20:10,348 --> 00:20:12,428 Speaker 7: and better down the stretch, and they got a ton 480 00:20:12,468 --> 00:20:16,948 Speaker 7: of resources in terms of cap space to rebuild that roster. Again, 481 00:20:17,308 --> 00:20:20,228 Speaker 7: several different options potentially on the table. Nothing is down 482 00:20:20,268 --> 00:20:22,868 Speaker 7: the line at this point, but the rest of the 483 00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:26,348 Speaker 7: NFL head coaching landscape will begin to evolve next week 484 00:20:26,388 --> 00:20:29,148 Speaker 7: when the interview rules change for those guys who currently 485 00:20:29,148 --> 00:20:33,028 Speaker 7: have jobs in the NFL. I would anticipate John Harbaugh's 486 00:20:33,028 --> 00:20:36,188 Speaker 7: process really ramps up here over these next several days 487 00:20:36,188 --> 00:20:37,068 Speaker 7: and into this weekend. 488 00:20:39,908 --> 00:20:42,388 Speaker 3: All right, so the very secure they're win against their 489 00:20:42,508 --> 00:20:45,708 Speaker 3: rivals and the Packers in their third game playing each other, 490 00:20:45,788 --> 00:20:48,148 Speaker 3: but this one meant something. It was over wild card weekend, 491 00:20:48,268 --> 00:20:51,028 Speaker 3: head coaches Ben Johnson and Matt Lafleur went through the 492 00:20:51,068 --> 00:20:54,428 Speaker 3: same quick postgame handshake interaction that they did a couple 493 00:20:54,468 --> 00:20:58,028 Speaker 3: weeks ago. Ben Johnson defended his reasoning though for why 494 00:20:58,068 --> 00:21:00,068 Speaker 3: he and Matt Lafleur do what they do. 495 00:21:02,068 --> 00:21:04,308 Speaker 5: It's a big game for. 496 00:21:06,028 --> 00:21:08,148 Speaker 11: Playoff game at home in a while, and you know, 497 00:21:08,188 --> 00:21:11,508 Speaker 11: we hadn't won a playoff game in fifteen years or so. 498 00:21:12,828 --> 00:21:15,908 Speaker 11: But certainly the opponent in and of itself, it means 499 00:21:15,948 --> 00:21:21,068 Speaker 11: a lot to the city, this organization, and that's something 500 00:21:21,108 --> 00:21:24,468 Speaker 11: that we certainly play into a little bit as coaches 501 00:21:24,508 --> 00:21:27,908 Speaker 11: and players, is we know how big it is when 502 00:21:27,988 --> 00:21:31,668 Speaker 11: Chicago plays green Bay. This is a rivalry and city 503 00:21:31,668 --> 00:21:34,348 Speaker 11: of Chicago green Bay it needs to be a. 504 00:21:34,388 --> 00:21:39,508 Speaker 3: Rivalry ten toes down and rivalry talk between these two guys. 505 00:21:39,948 --> 00:21:43,588 Speaker 3: Is the explanation coming from Ben Johnson and the handshake 506 00:21:43,708 --> 00:21:45,828 Speaker 3: or as I like to say, lack thereof with Malafloor 507 00:21:46,228 --> 00:21:48,228 Speaker 3: big deal or no big deal, Manti. 508 00:21:48,468 --> 00:21:50,188 Speaker 8: I think it's a huge deal and I thank him 509 00:21:50,188 --> 00:21:54,148 Speaker 8: for that, because honestly, whenever there's a rivalry, that's just 510 00:21:54,428 --> 00:21:57,988 Speaker 8: you invest into that, everybody tunes into that, and there's 511 00:21:58,028 --> 00:21:59,588 Speaker 8: something about sports that. 512 00:21:59,508 --> 00:22:01,188 Speaker 5: Makes rivalries just so beautiful. 513 00:22:01,228 --> 00:22:05,508 Speaker 8: It's just there's an extra emphasis on that game. I 514 00:22:05,548 --> 00:22:08,348 Speaker 8: look at across sports in general, you got the Boston That, 515 00:22:08,348 --> 00:22:09,228 Speaker 8: you got the Red Sox, you. 516 00:22:09,228 --> 00:22:10,908 Speaker 5: Got the Yankees, you got Duke North. 517 00:22:10,748 --> 00:22:14,788 Speaker 8: Carolina, Real, Madrid, Barcelona, Bears, Packers, Lakers, Celtics. 518 00:22:14,948 --> 00:22:17,868 Speaker 5: USC noted, oh yeah, forget that one. USC don't want 519 00:22:17,868 --> 00:22:18,148 Speaker 5: to play it. 520 00:22:18,428 --> 00:22:23,148 Speaker 1: No, But when you look at forwards exactly, bro. 521 00:22:23,268 --> 00:22:25,468 Speaker 8: But when you look at these rivalries, I think that's 522 00:22:25,508 --> 00:22:27,988 Speaker 8: what makes it sweeter. And for Ben Johnson, I give 523 00:22:28,028 --> 00:22:29,468 Speaker 8: him a lot of credit and I tip my hat 524 00:22:29,508 --> 00:22:32,148 Speaker 8: to him because honestly, he's putting himself out there because 525 00:22:32,188 --> 00:22:33,228 Speaker 8: Ben Johnson isn't going. 526 00:22:33,228 --> 00:22:35,308 Speaker 5: To win all of these, but he knows that. 527 00:22:35,348 --> 00:22:38,988 Speaker 8: Man, this this game between Bears and Packers are a 528 00:22:39,028 --> 00:22:41,348 Speaker 8: lot more when there's that rivalry, So I saluted. 529 00:22:41,388 --> 00:22:42,388 Speaker 5: I think it's a big deal with. 530 00:22:42,428 --> 00:22:46,188 Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate the two hundred miles of Lake Michigan pettiness. 531 00:22:46,268 --> 00:22:47,948 Speaker 5: I actually do. I like it. 532 00:22:48,028 --> 00:22:51,588 Speaker 4: Nevertheless, been a part of being a part of a rivalry, man, 533 00:22:51,948 --> 00:22:54,508 Speaker 4: I tell you it's it's one of the most things. 534 00:22:54,508 --> 00:22:56,428 Speaker 4: It's one of those things in football man that you 535 00:22:56,428 --> 00:22:58,548 Speaker 4: don't sleep at night, especially when you know you're about 536 00:22:58,548 --> 00:23:00,108 Speaker 4: to play your rival. When I used to play against 537 00:23:00,108 --> 00:23:02,388 Speaker 4: the Baltimore Ravens. There was just something in the air. 538 00:23:02,428 --> 00:23:05,188 Speaker 4: It was something leading into that week, was sleepless nights 539 00:23:05,188 --> 00:23:07,108 Speaker 4: because your will was going to be tested, right. It 540 00:23:07,228 --> 00:23:10,108 Speaker 4: was everything about that opposition that you hate it, you despise, 541 00:23:10,388 --> 00:23:12,188 Speaker 4: and man, you just had to get the w You 542 00:23:12,228 --> 00:23:14,948 Speaker 4: had to get the edge. I understand why Bears fans 543 00:23:14,948 --> 00:23:17,068 Speaker 4: are so fed up and they feel like they arrived 544 00:23:17,148 --> 00:23:20,108 Speaker 4: because so long it's been Green Bay. They've had the quarterback, 545 00:23:20,268 --> 00:23:22,668 Speaker 4: they've had to coach, they've had the Super Bowl, they 546 00:23:22,708 --> 00:23:24,948 Speaker 4: always had it, and Bears always had to be. 547 00:23:24,948 --> 00:23:26,428 Speaker 2: In the doorm out at an NFC door. 548 00:23:26,748 --> 00:23:29,028 Speaker 4: And now they're like, no, we have the quarterback, we 549 00:23:29,148 --> 00:23:31,148 Speaker 4: have the head coach, we have the culture. 550 00:23:31,348 --> 00:23:33,748 Speaker 2: We're them right now and I appreciate it. So for 551 00:23:33,788 --> 00:23:35,268 Speaker 2: all the Bears fans right. 552 00:23:35,148 --> 00:23:37,988 Speaker 4: Now, continue to be petty, continue to rub it in 553 00:23:38,028 --> 00:23:40,828 Speaker 4: their face. You have it rived, you have Caleb Williams, 554 00:23:40,868 --> 00:23:42,988 Speaker 4: and the time is now and the time is yours. 555 00:23:43,228 --> 00:23:44,188 Speaker 2: Stick it to the pats. 556 00:23:44,228 --> 00:23:44,708 Speaker 5: I love it. 557 00:23:45,748 --> 00:23:48,668 Speaker 1: I think that that term culture change is such a 558 00:23:48,708 --> 00:23:50,948 Speaker 1: convenient term that we all take for granted and don't 559 00:23:50,988 --> 00:23:53,828 Speaker 1: really stop to think about what it really means. Culture 560 00:23:53,948 --> 00:23:58,588 Speaker 1: change has to be more than we're doing extra conditioning, 561 00:23:58,868 --> 00:24:00,868 Speaker 1: or we're going to do a silly part of practice 562 00:24:00,868 --> 00:24:03,108 Speaker 1: where the offensive lineman catches passes, and we're going to 563 00:24:03,188 --> 00:24:07,468 Speaker 1: have a culture. Ben Johnson came into a team that 564 00:24:07,588 --> 00:24:11,028 Speaker 1: had a ten game losing streak this season before, who 565 00:24:11,468 --> 00:24:14,548 Speaker 1: were a laughing stock in the face of their rival. 566 00:24:14,588 --> 00:24:16,908 Speaker 1: They're alleged rabbit, the Green Bay Packers, and he has 567 00:24:17,028 --> 00:24:20,948 Speaker 1: changed that in one season. His culture change was we 568 00:24:21,348 --> 00:24:23,988 Speaker 1: hate them. I hate them. 569 00:24:24,388 --> 00:24:26,268 Speaker 2: At them out loud. 570 00:24:26,428 --> 00:24:30,308 Speaker 1: I'm saying it out loud, and it is working and 571 00:24:30,388 --> 00:24:33,628 Speaker 1: it is resonating with the players, and he is beating 572 00:24:33,668 --> 00:24:36,748 Speaker 1: the Packers like no Bears coach before him could speaking 573 00:24:36,748 --> 00:24:38,068 Speaker 1: at Bears coaches before them. 574 00:24:38,228 --> 00:24:39,828 Speaker 2: There is an infamous picture. 575 00:24:39,588 --> 00:24:44,508 Speaker 1: Among Chicagoans of Matt Ibrafluse, Ben Johnson's predecessor, who in 576 00:24:44,588 --> 00:24:48,988 Speaker 1: the offseason attended a basketball game with Matt Lafleur and 577 00:24:49,028 --> 00:24:51,148 Speaker 1: they sat next to each other like a couple of 578 00:24:51,148 --> 00:24:54,508 Speaker 1: bros and their sneakers, chopping it up and having laughs 579 00:24:54,508 --> 00:24:57,708 Speaker 1: and showing good relationship between them. At that point, Matt 580 00:24:57,748 --> 00:25:01,268 Speaker 1: Ibraflus was zero to four against Matt Lafleur. He went 581 00:25:01,308 --> 00:25:04,268 Speaker 1: on to be winless before he was fired because in 582 00:25:04,748 --> 00:25:05,828 Speaker 1: he couldn't be battle floor. 583 00:25:05,988 --> 00:25:07,188 Speaker 2: But hey, I'm sure they're. 584 00:25:07,068 --> 00:25:08,868 Speaker 1: Text buddies and they reach out to each other at 585 00:25:08,908 --> 00:25:09,668 Speaker 1: Christmas and stuff. 586 00:25:09,708 --> 00:25:10,308 Speaker 2: The hell with that. 587 00:25:10,428 --> 00:25:13,308 Speaker 1: You're not friends, you're in direct competition. And there's a 588 00:25:13,348 --> 00:25:15,948 Speaker 1: societal part of this which I want to address. And 589 00:25:15,988 --> 00:25:18,028 Speaker 1: I see people out there, and I see parents and 590 00:25:18,068 --> 00:25:20,108 Speaker 1: all of us on the show, including mere parents, and 591 00:25:20,148 --> 00:25:23,868 Speaker 1: I see parents online saying what Ben Johnson does with 592 00:25:23,948 --> 00:25:25,988 Speaker 1: the bad handshake and with the f them in the 593 00:25:25,988 --> 00:25:28,388 Speaker 1: locker room, that is a terrible example for children. What 594 00:25:28,468 --> 00:25:30,788 Speaker 1: am I supposed to tell my kids? If you feel 595 00:25:30,788 --> 00:25:33,228 Speaker 1: that way, I respect you. What you tell your kids 596 00:25:33,308 --> 00:25:36,788 Speaker 1: is watch Ben Johnson. That's class list. Don't ever do that. 597 00:25:37,108 --> 00:25:39,028 Speaker 2: Use him as an example of what you don't want 598 00:25:39,068 --> 00:25:42,828 Speaker 2: your kids to do. Me. I don't prioritize my parenting 599 00:25:42,908 --> 00:25:44,188 Speaker 2: that way. I don't care. 600 00:25:44,788 --> 00:25:48,508 Speaker 1: Profanity for me is very, very very low on this. 601 00:25:48,748 --> 00:25:50,628 Speaker 1: There's a lot of other crap out there I got 602 00:25:50,748 --> 00:25:54,148 Speaker 1: to worry about, with sexuality and violence and all the 603 00:25:54,268 --> 00:25:55,588 Speaker 1: terrible things happening in the world. 604 00:25:55,668 --> 00:25:57,228 Speaker 2: I don't care that my son might have. 605 00:25:57,268 --> 00:25:59,668 Speaker 1: A potty mouth in the right place because Ben Johnson 606 00:25:59,668 --> 00:26:00,188 Speaker 1: says that word. 607 00:26:00,188 --> 00:26:03,948 Speaker 2: If you do fine. I don't care. I like competition. 608 00:26:04,428 --> 00:26:06,028 Speaker 2: When my son plays football or my. 609 00:26:06,028 --> 00:26:09,108 Speaker 1: Daughter plays basketball, I want them to beat the other 610 00:26:09,148 --> 00:26:12,948 Speaker 1: team badly. That's okay. And if they get beat badly, 611 00:26:13,028 --> 00:26:15,228 Speaker 1: I want my kid to be pissed off. 612 00:26:15,788 --> 00:26:18,628 Speaker 2: That's all right. It's okay to hate. 613 00:26:18,388 --> 00:26:21,468 Speaker 1: The person you're playing, not societal hate. 614 00:26:21,748 --> 00:26:23,908 Speaker 2: Not hate that's going on around the world, but like 615 00:26:24,148 --> 00:26:26,068 Speaker 2: screwing you, dude, I don't like you.

So if you're a parent and you 619 00:26:34,908 --> 00:26:36,988 Speaker 2: don't like it, then you parent? Are you letting? 620 00:26:37,028 --> 00:26:40,108 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson parents your kid?
