1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive Home of the Black and Goal

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Lally. He

3
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: is Matt Williamson, and we now have the full schedule. Eight.

4
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: Of course it was already announced to Kansas City at

5
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Las Vegas will be at four thirty on Saturday, January seven.

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: Then you'll have Tennessee at Jacksonville for the a f

7
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: C South Division title at eight. That's perfect to be

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: sitting there because they really only affect each other. Yeah,

9
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Uh, you got Sunday at one. Well,

10
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: you got the Browns at Pittsburgh. That's a CBS game.

11
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: You got Tampa Bay at Atlanta, New England at Buffalo,

12
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota at Chicago, Houston and Indianapolis, the Jets at Miami,

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: Carolina at New Orleans, and then Baltimore at Cincinnati. Could

14
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: be one o'clock wor FO. Do you have any thoughts

15
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: on I mean, obviously it happens, depends what happens tonight.

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: We got Bengals Bills tonight. I'm trying to think why

17
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: that would matter one versus four for them because okay,

18
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: so if Buffalo wins tonight, they'll be playing for the

19
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: one seed. Next Sunday, so maybe they want that as

20
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: a standalone game. What time is Buffalo at I'm sorry,

21
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: I know they're one o'clock. If Cincinnati wins tonight, in

22
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: Kansas City loses, Cincinnati would then be playing for the

23
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: one seed. Okay, So from Steeler perspective, Steelers have to win.

24
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: We want the Bills to win. We need the Bills

25
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: to win. A Bill's win would be helpful because they're

26
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: not going to arrest anybody, considering they'd be still playing

27
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: for the one seed if if they win, yes, okay,

28
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: I was talking about next week. So what motivates the

29
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: Bill is the most winning tonight because then the number

30
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: one seed is still in play for them. So if

31
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: they lose tonight, they have no shot at the one

32
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: not no shot. They would need Kansas City to lose Saturday,

33
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: and then they would need to win next Sunday Kansas

34
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: and have Baltimore beat Cincinnati. So the fact that Kansas

35
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: City plays first against I guess the Raiders played hard

36
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: and they went to overtime. It's it's in Vegas. Yeah,

37
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean new quarterback. They're trying to do stuff. So okay,

38
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: now I get it. Um and then the other games

39
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: are the Chargers at Denver, the Giants at Philadelphia, Arizona

40
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: at San Francisco. They're still in play for these. They

41
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: get the one, yeah, and have a real good chance

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: at the two. The Rams at Seattle. Seattle would Seattle

43
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: needs to win and have Detroit beat green Bay to

44
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: make the play. I think green Bay controls are ye

45
00:02:53,880 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: Dallas at Washington, which is, if Philadelphia loses in Dallas wins,

46
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: Dallas wins, Dallas could be the number one seed. Yeah.

47
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: The Eagles are a little precarious all of a sudden.

48
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: Just two weeks ago, we're like that they just gotta

49
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: win one of these three hurts is and En Minshew

50
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: will get it. I'm not gonna win this one. Yeah,

51
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: And so what if hurts is, I mean, you're you're

52
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: throwing them out there to get the buy or probably

53
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: like I mean, I think you give it all you

54
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: got for this, so you get to buy. And then

55
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: the night game at twenty is Detroit at green Bay.

56
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: If green Bay wins that they're in. If Detroit wins it,

57
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: they need the something that had already happened. They need

58
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: Seattle to lose. But they'll know that, yes, yeah, but

59
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: green Bay just has to win. Period. Okay, I'm not

60
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: gonna ask you all the different parts because as I said,

61
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: like what else, Seattle losing whatever, but it's most important

62
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: to Steelers. Are three games Steelers Browns need the Jets

63
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: to win or tie and needed Bills to win. Um Rather,

64
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: the Jets are a winnable game. But that so when

65
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: I feel worse about well, it depends on what's going

66
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: on with the quarterback situation for both teams. Really Miami

67
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: in particular, he's playing quarterback for the Dolphins. It's a

68
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: lost five in a row, right as I As I

69
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: mentioned last week, no team has ever made the playoffs

70
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL going oh for December, and they both

71
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: did that and added to it a little. Now one

72
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: of them is going to win this week. Correct, hopefully

73
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: it's the right tes tie works as well, But I'm

74
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: curious who's quarterbacking both teams. I assume it'll be like White,

75
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: But what's going on in Miami. Here's the thing. Okay,

76
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: so it's a dislocated pinky finger on his throwing hand

77
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: for Teddy Bridgewater. And you might look at that and say, well,

78
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: it's just a pinky I've dislocated the pinky on my

79
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: finger on my right hand playing basketball, had a ball

80
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: a rebound come down hit me right on top of

81
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 1: the pinky. My finger been at a ninety degree angle

82
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: at the joint, at the joint, at the middle joint.

83
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: I still can't straighten it. Um. So what happens when

84
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: when that happens, When you get a dislocation like that,

85
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: it's not just a dislocation, but you get a fracture

86
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: on the on the end of the bone um well,

87
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: because the finger gets pushed over, it kind of kicks

88
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: out and and there's like a little cup there that

89
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: the finger bones in place, and it fracturesself fractures that

90
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: that little bone in there. And when you do that,

91
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta hold the football. Be when you

92
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: throw the football, the torque that you put on your

93
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: hand probably hurts all the way down your arm. You're three,

94
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: it's like you're throwing your finger. So it's it's very

95
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: painful and you can't give it a shot. I didn't

96
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: think of that part. Yeah, you don't want to lose feelings. Yeah,

97
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now your whole, your whole throwing

98
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: hands numb. That's not gonna work either, So you it's

99
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: a pain tolerance thing if he can grip the football,

100
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: and pinkies are important when releasing the football. Yeah, that's

101
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: where you get to spin. Yeah right, I mean that's

102
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: where you really generate the torkus sometimes too. He's not

103
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: a big hand guy anyway, Right, he's got a grip,

104
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: extra grip on the football today. And the other thing

105
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: is started to become a trend with I guess Teddy

106
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: and all Dolphins quarterbacks is James. They start, they don't

107
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: finish the left tackle and they're all little guys that

108
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: make a beating in there. I mean, Jets defense despite good,

109
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: it's still good. It's still really good. And their corners

110
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: can match up with Tyreke and those guys too. Jets

111
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: are out. The Jets are out, but I don't think

112
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: they're gonna rest, but they're gonna try and they're trying

113
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: to build something there. Yeah, absolutely, and White is auditioning there.

114
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: I mean, they're a young team. They're gonna play everybody.

115
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: They don't run. Either team runs the ball well, you know,

116
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: to lean on. But I think the Jets have a

117
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: chance to win that one. But the three, that's the

118
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: one I'm least confident about it, but I think he

119
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: has to get cleared from from cussion protocol, and I

120
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: don't know that that's gonna happen. Yeah, I mean I

121
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: thought that was a long shot. But I mean if

122
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: he if he clears, he clears. But this is his

123
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: third concussion this year. Yeah, that's a sticky situation for them.

124
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: And you know, does he does he clear by Friday?

125
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: You know when? When? When does he get cleared? Howld

126
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: you know? So he now hasn't practiced in three weeks?

127
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: You know, do you put him right back in? I said,

128
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: it's Skyler Thompson. Yeah, I mean he's had some flashes

129
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: as a rookie. I mean he doesn't look like a

130
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: complete nobody. But wow, I mean Scott Thompson against that defense,

131
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Stewers got a shot. Steelers got a shot.

132
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: I think I think even if Buffalo played their backups

133
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: against New England, Yeah, does have something to play for.

134
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: New England's offense is broken. You know, they've scored They've

135
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: scored seven defensive touchdowns, including it one in each of

136
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: the last four games. That's the only reason there's still alive,

137
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: the only reason still and it's remarkable. It will last

138
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: a few years. They've gotten in the end zone a lot.

139
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: That's the most defensive touchdowns by team since the twenty

140
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: seventeen Jaguars. Yeah, I didn't know that, but I knew

141
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: they were high. Wow, are the bill is gonna have

142
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: another have a pick six or you know, give them

143
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: a gift? Maybe? I mean, but their favored even without Alan, Yeah,

144
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, and then hopefully they don't even have the

145
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: rest of those guys. I mean, the Bill's winning tonight

146
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: is key. The Bills winning tonight is game. If the

147
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: Bills win, they've got everything to play for week unless

148
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: Kansas City loses Saturday, which I don't see Kansas City

149
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 1: losing that they needed to then yeah, right, they're playing

150
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: for something they want the week off. Yeah, this gets convoluted,

151
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: but cool. I mean, so Tonight's games will be fun.

152
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: It will be a blast no matter what this is.

153
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: Week three would be a great game. Yeah. So that's

154
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: the that's the situation. Um, you know, it's I wasn't

155
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: super impressed with the Browns yesterday either, by the way, No,

156
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: look he's you know, he's figured it out. By the way.

157
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: The Miles Garrett comes out today, and says we we

158
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: want we want to be the team that knocks the

159
00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: Steelers out of the playoffs. Does anybody talk more than that? Dude?

160
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: I surprised as he was saying that, why do you

161
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: see why do you say, like I looked up his

162
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: careers in ten games, ten career games against the Steelers,

163
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: he has six sacks earlier this year and they're in

164
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: the game against him. He had two tackles. He had

165
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: two tackles. They have never to talk about anything. Shut

166
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: your mouth and just play. You're giving up you hemorrhage

167
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. I don't know why Washington and

168
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: running ball more because that that that's the formula. I mean,

169
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: it's a bad matchup for the Browns. You know, by

170
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: the way Carson wentz he threw two horrendous picks and

171
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: three total. I mean, that was the game. Watson didn't

172
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, but he didn't play great. He's

173
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: not turning the thirty passing yards in the first twenty

174
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: three passing yards in the first half. He was like

175
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: three for eight. Ye, so I think all three of

176
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: those things are very feasible. Yeah, h mc cleveland doesn't worry.

177
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I feel the best of the whole

178
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: the whole scenario, every part of that scenario. I feel

179
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: the best at about the Steelers winning at home. The

180
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: Browns are not The Browns aren't gonna sweep them, and

181
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: Garret can say only wants their motivation is not gonna

182
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: do that high If your only motivations be the spoiler

183
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: of a division, I mean, how many guys for them

184
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: who were playing a little nicked up. I just don't

185
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: even did you shut it down? We're out? That is

186
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: gonna play. And all those guys that have been bumped

187
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: and bruised around all year in Amori and those guys,

188
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: their defense is already pretty much it's bad too. So

189
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: we'll preview them as the week goes on. But I'm

190
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: not super worried about the Brownie. He should do less

191
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: h giving bulletin board material and just play football. Yeah,

192
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: he does stuck a lot um. So that's the scenario

193
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: for the Steelers. The Patriots can still get in. In

194
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: terms of the Steelers getting a winning record out of

195
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: this season. We've we've detailed this a lot. Why you

196
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: don't get up on a season, but it matters the guys,

197
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: young guys on this team learn how to win and

198
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: win in these kind of situations. Is there playoff games

199
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: for the Steelers every two games? How they were one

200
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: with the rookie quarterback driving down there that even the

201
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: Haywards can be like, I think we got a guy,

202
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, and then that trickles down through the the

203
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: locker room as well. It'd be great to get the

204
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: winning record for coaches streak two. But it's just the

205
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: fact too that I think everyone this team realizes two

206
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: and six doesn't mean seasons over, you know, like, yeah,

207
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: you don't. That's why you don't quit. You have now

208
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: you now have tangible evidence to show to these guys.

209
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: Let's say you start three and five next year. Oh hey,

210
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: we just we just finished this season seven and two.

211
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: This is a long season. And if you look at

212
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: the way this season has gone, um, you know, the

213
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: the Giants were going to the super Bowl early in

214
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: the season, the Dolphins were going to the super Bowl.

215
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: There's their super Bowl contender. They might not even make

216
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: the play. He's got no chance. Green Bay's got no chance.

217
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: Uh boy. Look at that Jets team. They're awesome and

218
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: now they're out of the playoffs. Look at the yeah,

219
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: the Bengal started slow. I mean, there's just a we're

220
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: three and four at one point. Yeah, you know, it

221
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: just shows you that there's so much ebb and flow

222
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: to a season season. Absolutely, it's not like college football

223
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: where if you lose a game or two, oh we're done.

224
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: We can't play for the national championship. Yeah, so guys

225
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: need to learn that is so we're not playing to

226
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: go to the sun Bowl here, right, get the dance

227
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: and yeah, the teams in front of us, right, that's

228
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: all that matters. We're not. It's not power. We do

229
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: power ranks and they're fun, but they don't matter. It's

230
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: fun to talk about, yeah, without questions. But the other

231
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: thing too, I think that's key for this team is

232
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: the Jets and Lions were the only teams in the

233
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: league that played more rookie snaps last year than the Steelers.

234
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't know where the Steelers rank right now, but

235
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: I'm sure gonna be pretty high. They're real high. And

236
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: I know Seattle's one, but I don't know who the

237
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: other ones are. So all those guys, all those valuable snaps,

238
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: and now all of a suddenly Allen Robinson are playing more.

239
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's like some of your rookies are starting

240
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: even step up more. That just shows what the league's about,

241
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, Like that's valuable, valuable experience to build a

242
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: real win you know, I mean a super Bowl type team. Yeah,

243
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: if you finish this season off seven and two in

244
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: the second half, I mean, it absolutely gives you a

245
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: springboard in the next year without question. I mean, you've

246
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: seen grow up right right right, I mean if something

247
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: this one gets away from you. This year has been

248
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: a success. Yeah, You've seen George Pickens makes some huge plays.

249
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: You've seen Pat Firearmouth take a big step forward. You've

250
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: seen Naggi Harris take a big step forward. You've seen

251
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: that old line is very, very respectable, and it's a

252
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: good group. Now again, if they they're going to draft

253
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman somewhere next year, but everybody was saying

254
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: a month ago they need to draft one in the

255
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: first round. You don't have to draft one in the

256
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: first round. No, I don't think you have to do

257
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: much of anything. We'll see how free agency goes. But

258
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of improvements that we could all talk

259
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: about and we will to no end. I don't know

260
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: if you have to do anything I mean have to

261
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: do anything. Yeah, you know, I mean there's some things

262
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: that some things that you would like to know, definitely

263
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: like to do, ye, But yeah, you're finding stuff out

264
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: along the way and winning games, which you know he

265
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: can't stress that enough. That's how you build a culture. Yeah,

266
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean I've been very critical. I'm just using example

267
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: of Spillane. I mean, I don't think Spillane's the answer.

268
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: He's he's played every snap for two games in a

269
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: row and it's taking it over as the every down linebacker.

270
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: So you found something out there. He's better than I

271
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: give him credit for, to be frank, especially when you're

272
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: playing the foul teams that aren't yeah, teams that aren't

273
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: going to throw the football and challenger you're inside linebackers. Yeah,

274
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: but you have a better feel for him, you know.

275
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, now Robinson's played a little bit more, you know,

276
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: so you know more about that group than you did

277
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: a month ago. Yeah, I mean, I I just think

278
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: you you you know, you look at the teams that

279
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: are now closing things out here. Seattle win yesterday, Green

280
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: Bay wins yesterday, New England wins yesterday, Pittsburgh wins yesterday.

281
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: Those coaches are win some games, like Brady wins that

282
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: game yesterday. I mean, I'm gonna blame I'm gonna give

283
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: it the Rodgers more than I am with floor even right,

284
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: you know. So, but you you know, there's certain things

285
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: that that culture have built their teams that have that culture,

286
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: whether it be from by the quarterback or by the

287
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: locker room itself or not. You know, I mean, like

288
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: that's respectable teams like the you know, in those situations,

289
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: seems like the Lions stubbed their toe. You know, two

290
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: weeks ago, the Jets stubbed their toe. I was gonna

291
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: use examples too. You know, Miami and Minnesota look how

292
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: promising they looked. But their rookie head coaches. Guys, that's

293
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: like a rookie quarterback, Like it's hard to make adjustments

294
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: throughout the year when someone just sells out the takeaway

295
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: justin Jefferson or you deal with all this stuff, my

296
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: amm he's dealt with Like, rookie head coaches have a

297
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: tough tough time. Those two teams might be fine, they

298
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: may have found their head coaches, but there's a reason

299
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll wins those games. Or you know what I mean,

300
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: in the rookie head coaches don't. Yeah, I mean it's

301
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: it's a learning process for the coaches as well. Yeah, um,

302
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's why the Titans have announced

303
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs is going to start at quarterback. Not that

304
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: we're surprised, but yeah, that makes sense. But Vrabel gives

305
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: them a puncher's chance in that game. Yeah, they're not

306
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: very talented, they don't have much. They're not the quarterback

307
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: they planned on playing. But that's why the Jaguars won't

308
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: got Peterson because he's been a guy that that has

309
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, he's won a super Bowl. Yeah, I'd say

310
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: this a lot that helps. And of course people always

311
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: ask me throughout the course of the year, is Tomlin

312
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: run his course? Even? Like like, folks, if I'm being generous,

313
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: I could name twenty human beings on the planet that

314
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: know how to win in the NFL year after year,

315
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, dealing out the cards. Some hands are good,

316
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: some hands are bad. The ones that are mediocre you

317
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: turn into, you give an extra you know, a couple

318
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: of tricks you shouldn't over whatever, you know. So Tomlin

319
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: is one of them all day long, if not one

320
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: of the five that can really make you chicken stew

321
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: out of chicken droppings, you know what I mean. Yeah,

322
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: And you know, the NFL is such a players league

323
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: as it is, um, you know, it's not as much

324
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: college football is more of a coaches league. Yeah, recruiting,

325
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: so yeah, because recruiting comes into play. But in the NFL,

326
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: when you make it, you make adjustments like some of

327
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: the ones of Steelers made yesterday playing you know, for

328
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: defensive lineman playing you know, yeah, playing a six two

329
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,239
Speaker 1: in a game like that. We okay, they played their

330
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: base defense the first time around for them for the

331
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: better part of that game didn't work. So okay, what

332
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: what adjustment are we going to make off of that? Well,

333
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: here's the adjustment. And by the way, we're gonna run

334
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: the ball more and even if we're not going to

335
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: get away from it like we did the first time.

336
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: You learn from these things. There are so many coaches

337
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: out there that you see, well, you know, my we

338
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: run my scheme. It's my scheme. Six two corners that

339
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: are pressed. Man, guys, Yeah, well I only got one

340
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: of them for but you won three Like there's only

341
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: one of them on the plan. That's why so many

342
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: college football coaches fail at the NFL level because they're

343
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: so used to their scheme being the reason why they won,

344
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: because they recruit that you can go out and recruit.

345
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: I just recruit players from my scheme. It's not like

346
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: that in the NFL. Like I gotta pick my pick

347
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: where I have my pick, and I have so much

348
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: salary cap space and fortunate enough to have a quarterback

349
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: that's making a lot of money. But now I can't

350
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: go get them a left tackle and the reliever that

351
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: we need. It's the whole If you got red paint,

352
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: your paint, your barn red thing. That's coaching, and coaches

353
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: we'll put their ego in front of the things at times.

354
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: Like my system is perfect. I've worked on in my

355
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: whole life. I just need the right pieces where here's

356
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: your pieces, now make it work. Yeah, that's always right,

357
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: liking it to the rich. Rodriguez goes to Michigan. It's

358
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: a perfect example. You know what, you know, West Virginia

359
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: and all his other stops. He ran that spread offense

360
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: because he wasn't getting he didn't have a bunch of

361
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, five star recruits on his offensive line. Right right,

362
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: He goes to Michigan. He's got a bunch of five

363
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: star recruits. He says, Oh, we're gonna run the spread,

364
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: and they all transferred. No, I want to run a

365
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: pro style offense. Let's run the football and bully people

366
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: like we had for fifty years, because we can get

367
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: the best lineman in Michigan all over the country. You know,

368
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: they went from winning nine games with Lloyd Carr, which

369
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough, to winning three with rich Rod because

370
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: he blew it up and you know, try to work

371
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: in the margins because he's son on the talent. Well,

372
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: here's the talent. Win with the talent. Well, so the

373
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: Steelers are doing that extremely well with the rookie quarterback

374
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: and tailoring stuff to the rookie quarterback, and and and

375
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: slowly putting stuff on his plate Now they I think

376
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: early in the process they put a lot on his

377
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: plate um to see to see what he could handle. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

378
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: I think that then you scale it back a little bit. Okay,

379
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,239
Speaker 1: that was a little too much, So do this and

380
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: and now I think he's getting more comfortable in there.

381
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: And I think you're starting to see, you know, more

382
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: and more and more. You know, I don't know how

383
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: much they would have trusted him to go out there

384
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: in two minute situations six weeks ago. Yeah, maybe not maybe,

385
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: you know, right, even coming out of the by right, No,

386
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: you need to learn these people. And I think that's

387
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: one of Tomins's best trades is he learns the human

388
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: beings not only what makes them tick and you know

389
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: how to motivate them, but also to ease things, make

390
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: things as easy as possible for them, which is, you know,

391
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: a coach's job. Yeah, it's all it's all part of coaching.

392
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: And I think he is uh and his staff have

393
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: done a good job this year with his team. Um,

394
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: they didn't plan on trade and Chase Claypool, but now

395
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: they're kind of a receiver short, so they'll piece it

396
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: together with a little bit of Gunner, a little bit

397
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: of Sims. Little a boy can a little more Heyward,

398
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 1: you know, a little more what run the hell out

399
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: of the foot the hell out of football. And now

400
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: this foundations poured that you can pretty it up with

401
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: Austin and Miller in a third round pick or whatever

402
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: and try to get a little more explosive, you know,

403
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: so the things in place are strong. Yeah, I think

404
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: that's what six consecutive games now where the defense is

405
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: allowed seventeen or fewer points from one, two, three, six

406
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: in a row. That's the Steelers most since uh two

407
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: thousand and I saw this last night. I let's say

408
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: since two thousand and four. I mean, it's hard if

409
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: that's some good defenses, that's some really good defenses. And

410
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: I get the scoring is down, but it's not down

411
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: below seven. I mean you're essentially giving up one touchdown

412
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: per game. Uh one game against the Culture, give up

413
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: two every other game, have given up one one. Yeah,

414
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna win a lot of games that way. Yeah, right,

415
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: And you're playing it that way as long as you

416
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: don't throw three picks and get a field goal blocked,

417
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: and you know you're gonna have a good chance to win.

418
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: And I think this was the formula that I think

419
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: they wanted to play under. They see that was the

420
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: only way that be successful. But it's a hard one

421
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: to Writing it on the chalkboard, on the white board

422
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: is different than implementing it week one against the Eagles,

423
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: and you know, when you're down twenty and those type

424
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: of things too. But the lines really come together, the

425
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: running games really come together. Getting to the second level

426
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: getting contributions from everyone. So no, it's a good formula

427
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: right now. And they're a fun watch. Yeah, I feel

428
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: like watch your defensive football, no doubt about it. It's

429
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: not even that. I mean, I think it's more of

430
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: a fun build, you know, like I see the vision.

431
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: It's it's coming to play. You know, we've kind of

432
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: been preaching this for a while. This is how it's

433
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: gonna go. It might take time. The old lines is

434
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: not gonna be the best one in the league in

435
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: week one, you know, by the way they're up to

436
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: number ten now on football side or the defensive line.

437
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: I know they're great in short yardage too, you know something.

438
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: There's a couple of really good Yeah, so that line

439
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: has gotten better. You can check out the Steelers Weekend Review.
