1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Back

3
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: on the Drive here as all eyes are on Super

4
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: wild Card weekend and of course from our perspective, the

5
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: biggest game of them all Monday Night between the Steelers

6
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: and the Texans. Joining us now to discuss the queen

7
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: of the sideline Steelers Sideline reporter you hear her on

8
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: the call with Rob King and Max Starts. It's the

9
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: great Missy Matthews. Missy, thank you for taking the time

10
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: for us. Is always on a Friday, And you know,

11
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: Matt and I were kind of discussing in the opening

12
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: of the show there in our first segment just about how, yeah,

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Steelers have been in this wild card

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: position here recently, you know, the last two years Baltimore

15
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: and Buffalo and then before that Kansas City, and how

16
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: those ones with kind of the quarterback mismatches having to

17
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: go on the road felt much different as opposed to

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: hosting this one, being divisional champions and of course having

19
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: the future Hall of Famer, one of the greatest ever

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: do at Aaron Rodgers on our side this time. I

21
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: got to imagine you agree, like We've been excited, we've

22
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: been hopeful going into the playoffs these last handful of years,

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: but this one seems a little different, seems a little

24
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:31,919
Speaker 1: more optimistic.

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think number one, not going on the road

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: is huge, and I just I really feel like Aaron

28
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: Rodgers has made everybody buy in this season, believe that

29
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: they can win games, believe that they can make the postseason.

30
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: And even after the Cleveland game, he's like, Okay, yeah,

31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: we played that today. I played that we're gonna go

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: home next week and we're gonna win. Like it was

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: immediate confidence. We talked about that last week, and I

34
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: feel like that has carried over to this week as well,

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: especially you know the way they were able to come

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: back being down ten nothing at one point in that game,

37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: not getting any points at the end of the first half.

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 3: It just felt like everything that could have went wrong

39
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: went wrong, but they were still able to overcome the adversity.

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: And I think that's like the true test of a

41
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: real team, and it just it feels like they're checking

42
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: those boxes and of course playing good football at the

43
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: best time of the year, and like last year where

44
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: it felt like, Okay, we haven't won in a while,

45
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: but like we're in the playoffs, yay. It just it

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 3: feels totally different.

47
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: So I'm sure the last time the Steelers hosted a

48
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: Monday night game, I asked you the same question of

49
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: why do they always always always win knock on wood

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: home Monday Night? And I don't think anybody has any insight,

51
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: adds Labs this yesterday. He's been watching Steelers since before

52
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: I could crawl is across your mind anymore? And how

53
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: much does that add to your optimism of this specific

54
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: game or even just hosting the game as opposed to

55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: going to Baltimore, Buffalo, Kansas City just seems so much

56
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: more optimistic.

57
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: As we said, Yeah, I mean, I just feel like

58
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 3: playing at home you always feel better, right, Like it's

59
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: the advantage of having the home crowd behind you. And

60
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: clearly at times this year the home crowd has not

61
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: been behind the Steelers. But Sunday night, man, I mean,

62
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: that was just one of those games that you'll never

63
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: forget if you were there, because it was so much

64
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: different than if you watched it on TV. It's like

65
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: hard to almost explain, but I do think if Labs

66
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: can't put his finger on it, yeah, there's a reason

67
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: why the rest of us can't put his finger on it,

68
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: because he's clearly seen the twenty three game winning streak

69
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: on Monday nights at home. And it was funny. I

70
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: saw Bill Kauer was on a show this week and

71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: he's like, hey, I just want to let everybody know,

72
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: like that Lab loss on Monday night at home, that

73
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: was Chuck Knowle, like Coach T and I are the

74
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: ones who haven't lost, Like we've we started the street

75
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: and we've kept it alive. And when he said that, you're.

76
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: Like, wow, like crazy.

77
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: Chuck Nole was here like he was the head coach

78
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: when that happened. And the only thing and I think

79
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 3: I said, wait, like the only thing that I can

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: think of, And I think I, you know, kind of said,

81
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: maybe it's as simple as it's an extra day. I

82
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 3: don't know how else to explain it. And I know

83
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 3: Labs even tried to ask coach Tomlin about it, yeah,

84
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: before that Miami game for his radio show, and it

85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 3: was kind of like, I don't I don't know, it's

86
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: the only game.

87
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: You know.

88
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: Coach does have a history of being much better the

89
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: longer he has to prepare, I mean Thursdays haven't been

90
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: his friend, mondays have been his friend right by weeks

91
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: have been his friend.

92
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 3: You know, yes, totally agree. Yeah, having the nine days,

93
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: nine plus days whatever you want to call to prepare,

94
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: like you said, even after the bye week. So maybe

95
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 3: it is that. But you also have to again remember

96
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 3: like Coach Tower was part of this. I don't know

97
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: his numbers, you know, off the back of my hand,

98
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 3: like I didn't come up Coach Tomlin. But it's definitely

99
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: very interesting to say the least.

100
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: Oh, you know what he always says the secret sauce

101
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: is there is no secret sauce. He just got there.

102
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: Just go out there and get it done. Missy Matthews

103
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: with us here on the drive. I mean, hey, I

104
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: think only McDonald's has the secret sauce or is that

105
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: the maxim? So I digress, Missy. Last Sunday, a winner

106
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: go home game against the Ravens and the team gets

107
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: a I think much needed boost with TJ. Watt back

108
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: in the locker room and running through that tunnel in

109
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: the moment that you kind of you know needed him Superman,

110
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: you know, busting out of the phone booth with his

111
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: cape on. Now the offense gets that lift gets that

112
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: boost with DK Metcalf back into the fold, He's had

113
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: two weeks to rest up. He talked about that feeling

114
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: a little more energy, a little more juice in his

115
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: legs after some time off late in the season. He's

116
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: also a guy historically four playoff games in his career,

117
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: so not a massive sample size, but not just one

118
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: or two either, enough of a sample size. Has been

119
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: outstanding in the postseason. This feels like a real you know,

120
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: wild card on on on Wild Card Monday of DK Metcalf,

121
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: how well rested he can be, a chip on his shoulder,

122
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: and how he can help elevate this offense that has

123
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: has clearly missed him in his absence, no doubt.

124
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: And I was just watching My boys will not stop

125
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: rewatching the Sunday night game because we weren't allowed to

126
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: stay up for it, so you know, we have to

127
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 3: watch it a million times to ask a million questions.

128
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: But it's just been funny watching TJ's interception and you're like,

129
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: how did that happen? And I know at recess and

130
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: elementary schools, the popular saying is bald, don't lie, and

131
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: that is what they say to each other. And I

132
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: feel like that's accurate when it comes to TJ and DK.

133
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 3: As you said, you can tell that the fact he

134
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: couldn't watch the second half of the Cleveland game. He

135
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: was so excited when the Steelers beat the Ravens. When

136
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: Tyler we missed that field goal, he literally jumped in

137
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: his car and tried to go through traffic to get

138
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: to his teammates. That was his first thought and was unsuccessful, unfortunately,

139
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 3: But just the response he got when he returned to

140
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: the facility, I just liked how he answered questions. Yes,

141
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: he takes responsibility. What he did was not good. It

142
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: got him a two game suspension that hurt his team clearly,

143
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: but at the same time, he had belief in his

144
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: teammates to get them where they needed to go. And

145
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: now he's back and as you said, four playoff games

146
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: but five touchdowns, so more TVs than games, not a

147
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: bad thing, and averaging like one hundred and twelve receiving

148
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: yards per playoff game, so I think it's huge. Clearly,

149
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure you've talked at nauseum about the Texans defense

150
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: and how well they play, the physicality that they bring,

151
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: and it's almost a mere image of you know, how

152
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: the Steelers like to do things, especially on defense.

153
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: So you mentioned how he was received coming back to

154
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: the facility. Did you get the impression it was open arms,

155
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: all's forgiven, you know, let's go, let's go. We're a

156
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: team again, one hundred percent.

157
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 3: I mean I saw when Cam Hayward had one of

158
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: the social team from NBC Sunday Night Football's camera. They

159
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: were having him do you know, like the selfie walking

160
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: over off the field, and Aaron Rodgers popped over and

161
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 3: Cam's like, he doesn't usually do this, but we're AFC

162
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: North Champs, you know, so like he's going to do it,

163
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: and you know, Aaron's kind of like, I don't want

164
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 3: to be here, Cam, but I can't say anything bad.

165
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: We're live. And then the last thing Cam said was

166
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: and we get DK back this week. Like that was

167
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: you know, coming from Cam, you know, not Aaron who

168
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: probably missed DK more than anybody, but Cam Hayward. That

169
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: was like one of the first things he thought about.

170
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: He was not even at like the fifty getting off

171
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: the field to go to the locker room. So I

172
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: think it's very clear that they all like him. I

173
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: just from my personal interactions and just the way that

174
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: the team embraced him. I just feel like, you know,

175
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: maybe the outside perception of what DK is or has

176
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 3: been is similar to the Aaron Rodgers that they then

177
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: got to know DK has been, you know, just an

178
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: outstanding teammate player. I think I told you guys a

179
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: story about how the one game he was kind of like, guys,

180
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if I can block anymore, you know, like,

181
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 3: but he'll do the grunt work. He played gunner when

182
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: Ben Skernik hurt his hand and wasn't able to go

183
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: out there. So he thought in Baltimore, like, he's just

184
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: he's that team player guy who wants to win.

185
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: And those are the guys that you need to get

186
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: you over the line this time of year. Certainly, Missy,

187
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: thank you for the time as always, great stuff, and

188
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: uh and we'll see you here in a couple of days.

189
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: Perfect, and we'll talk next Friday.

190
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: Right, that's exactly right. We'll keep this thing humming divisional round,

191
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: whether we're going to New England or Denver, wherever it

192
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: may be. We'll catch up with you then, Thanks, Missy.

193
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: All right, thanks guys.

194
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: There she goes the Queen of the Sideline, the Great

195
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: Missy Matthews. Matt good news across the timeline here.

196
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Jalen Warren.

197
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: Back at practice today after missing yesterday with an illness.

198
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: So hopefully, like we kind of talked about, you never.

199
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: Know, maybe something's not gone, maybe something's not going.

200
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Sixty five degree leather today, the sun came, the sun

201
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: came out and said enough with that, we ain't going

202
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: around anymore huge, And we kind of yesterday were hoping

203
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: like it's not a debilitating illness. He's not like laying

204
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: in bed struggling.

205
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: Just maybe there's times an NFL playoff history where a

206
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: whole team gets hit this time of year.

207
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: Happened to the Steelers last year going into Baltimore. The

208
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: defense was was decimated with flu stuff. Yeah, it's it's

209
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: a real thing this time of year, particularly when you

210
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: play in you know, some Northeast colder weather climates where

211
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: where where those things tend to go around a little

212
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: bit more than than other places. But Jalen Warren, after

213
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: a day off yesterday due to illness, back at practice today,

214
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: so that is good news. Also, just announced the the

215
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: AP All pro teams for the NFL come out tomorrow morning,

216
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, at nine am. Okay, so we'll know, we'll

217
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: know if any Steelers Cam Hayward, like we were.

218
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: Talking, Hayward's the only one that I think has a

219
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 2: legit shot. Yeah, I mean, Fraser's maybe a top two

220
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 2: center because there's only one that goes.

221
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that still too early for Fraser

222
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: and Falton, who like I think they'll get them. I

223
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: think they'll get it at some point in their career.

224
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: But I'd be shocked if like Falton, who can beat

225
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: out Penny soool? Right? I mean, I guess there is

226
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 2: three teams though.

227
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: In Fraser with Bras two.

228
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: Okay, well, maybe Fraser's a second team center. Maybe it's

229
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: gonna be Cam's the one. If he's not one of

230
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 2: the four, upset, I'll be upset. I mean, he'd get

231
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: a Pro Bowl completely.

232
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: He did not get a Pro Bowl, which is crazy,

233
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: but I think he'd rather have an All Pro and

234
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: the All Pro means a little bit more. Pretty cool

235
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: to see Joey Porter Junior get one as well. Yeah,

236
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see.

237
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: That's I don't think he will.

238
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 1: I don't think he will.

239
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: It wouldn't blow me away. I mean, I think he's

240
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: reasonably deserving. Yes, that's the highest of honors.

241
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: It absolutely is, because, hey, making the Pro Bowl still matters,

242
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: but all pro a little more, a little more credentials

243
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: required behind.

244
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: Those voting, you know, right, and it's a whole.

245
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: League, exactly right. Let's take a break here. When we

246
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: return on the other side, we will dive back into

247
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: Steelers Texans. You want matchups, we got matchups, Little five

248
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: Star Friday. When we return West Shuler, Matt Williamson, it

249
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: is the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio on the

250
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,960
