00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:14,880
technical director, the Grand
Schwabini and Hockey Jesus.

3
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,520
Come on Pittsburgh, let's show a
little.

4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:23,080
Steelers, Penguins and Pirates
love The sports Porch.

5
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:34,760
Black and Gold starts now.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

6
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,960
It does.
The sports porch, Pittsburgh.

7
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,600
I don't know.
I don't know.

8
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,720
What do we call it now?
The sports.

9
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,720
Sports, black and gold.
Weren't we having a we were

10
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,960
having a discussion about this
right before.

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,680
I know we're not going to go
there.

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:47,880
Sports, black and gold.
You're not.

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,080
Going to let me go there.
No, we're coming to you from all

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,400
over the world on Facebook,
YouTube, and X.

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,800
We got too much to talk.
We do.

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,360
Got too much to talk about to
get into that discussion.

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,400
What I want you to do while you
figure out what the hell is

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,640
going on here while I figure out
what the hell is what's going on

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,720
is I want you to go to YouTube
if you're already there or

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,680
you're not there at the Sports
Porch Podcast, and I want you to

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,720
subscribe.
And if you're on X at the Sports

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,360
Porch one and the porch is
live.com is our website.

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,480
I'm going to drop the podcast
right after the show on the

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,040
iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast,
Spotify or anywhere you get your

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,080
freaking podcast.
I'm your technical director to

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,080
my right in the studio and on
the screen is hockey Jesus.

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,760
We're coming to you from the
basement.

28
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,240
That's right, That's right.
All you guys in the media, this

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,000
is a basement podcast.
It's.

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,800
Not his mom's, though.
It's the bet.

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,480
No, it isn't.
It's definitely not my mom's.

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,560
Definitely not your mom if she's
watching.

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,040
Sorry, Mom.
You've done enough trouble down

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,920
there for.
Like, well, she would, she would

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,800
really, she would really, she
would let us podcast down there,

36
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,600
though.
So we.

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,240
Let Janice be OK.
Let's not bring Janice.

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,440
In and coming from the studio in
Indiana Township, which is a

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,560
rural area very, very far
outside of Pittsburgh, of no

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,120
consequence is the Grant Schwab
beanie.

41
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
What?
What's the deal?

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,680
Why are you remote tonight?
You got a little bit of a cough.

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,600
I mean, what?
What's going?

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,960
On No, no, I just got so much
stuff.

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,040
I'm getting through.
I'm doing everything pulled in a

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,200
million different directions.
They're taking, they're taking

47
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,960
the Grand Schwab Beanie's Time
for granted, All the people out

48
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,040
there.
It is true.

49
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,080
And do that.
And if you could see up up here

50
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,240
in the corner, we've got a new
studio camera.

51
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,520
We're kind of playing with it,
so bear with us there.

52
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Kind of gives you an idea what
you're looking at.

53
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,640
It's a little dirty right now.
My wife would be embarrassed.

54
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,240
She'd come down here and clean.
She'd have the cleaning lady

55
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,960
clean is what she would do.
But we're men and we're dirty.

56
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,040
So this is the this is how we
face for us, this is how we

57
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,680
live.
And look.

58
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,800
Chris Chadda, one of our top
fans, is already in the house

59
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,120
with something on the Steelers.
Is it true or fake news that the

60
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,760
Steelers D is giving up 800
yards in the first two games?

61
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,840
Oh, it's true.
It's damn true.

62
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,680
Yeah.
That's what.

63
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,680
We're going to talk about.
You know, Chris, just just Chris

64
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,800
Chadda bringing up the word
fake.

65
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,720
I'm kind of wondering, if we go
back to last week's show now,

66
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,120
would you say that Rogers was
faking it last week?

67
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,120
Yeah, I would.
I would say he was faking it.

68
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,400
We're going to get into that.
Of course.

69
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,720
We're going to talk about the
Steelers.

70
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,160
HJ and I were down at the field
yesterday at Aqua.

71
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,800
Sure, for the home opener.
We had some great seats way up

72
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,480
in Peanut Heaven, but underneath
on the Steeler side of the

73
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,280
field, the shade so we didn't
get blasted by the sun.

74
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,360
That was nice.
Which made it an enjoyable

75
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,000
experience because it was nice
and cool we.

76
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,600
Were up there with the rest of
the answers.

77
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,120
Yep, got to thank my beautiful
wife Lauren Klein for that.

78
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,200
Thank you.
That was my birthday gift, so I

79
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,320
owe her this.
And thank you, Chris, for taking

80
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,560
me.
You're welcome for the Grand

81
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,360
Schwab, the.
Pittsburgh Property Diva at

82
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,640
Pittsburgh Property thank you
for.

83
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,160
Taking me.
I appreciate that.

84
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,760
Well, I mean, she kind of
insisted that I take Steve, so

85
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,680
I'm sorry there was something I
could do about.

86
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,240
It it was.
So the only way I'm getting

87
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,440
anywhere with you is if I bake
her a bunch of cookies.

88
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,040
Pretty much.
Yeah.

89
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,000
Oh remind me I need to get my
Tupperware.

90
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,920
It's taken you that long, dude.
I have no idea.

91
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,160
What we're going to go up and
we're going to look for.

92
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,040
This is not coming from you,
this is coming from Susan, isn't

93
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,640
it?
Yes, because every every day we

94
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,200
have leftover, she's like, man,
where did all the Tupperware go,

95
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,520
you know, and I'm like, are you?
A Are you a Tupperware thief?

96
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,520
Yeah, he is.
Yes.

97
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,920
Well, she's not.
Getting anymore cookies?

98
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,560
I'm not getting you where my
Tupperware is whenever.

99
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,040
I I'm never at your house, so
do.

100
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,320
You always take my Tupperware.
Yeah, do I?

101
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,280
It sounds that way.
Sounds like he's talking.

102
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,440
About look guys, we're here to
give the people what they want.

103
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:43,800
All right, let's give them some
stellar.

104
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,480
Lawrence says I believe we need
a new defensive coordinator.

105
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,240
Pat off track, says Aaron
Rodgers is the David Blaine of

106
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,120
QB's.
Maybe so.

107
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,200
TGS would have kept you out at a
sports bar for Philadelphia.

108
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,560
K City What's What's TGS?
I don't know we're gonna, we're

109
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,480
not on his track yet, but I'm
sure we'll end up there by the

110
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,720
end of the night.
I don't know.

111
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,360
OK, I want to remind everybody
one last thing before we jump

112
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,480
into all this because man, there
is a lot to talk about.

113
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,280

Make sure you hit us up
ogsportssports@gmail.com.

121
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,280
What the hell is wrong with this
defense?

122
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:47,320
You tell us and we'll tell you.
Steve and I were at the game and

123
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:50,480
so Grand Schwabini, we're going
to give you the floor because

124
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,000
you were watching from the the
friendly confines of your

125
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,920
beautiful home close to Fox
Chapel.

126
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,320
So.
In downtown upscale Fox Chapel.

127
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,880
So yeah, what, what did you see?
And, and look, I'm going to

128
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,480
preface this.
There's been a lot of talk radio

129
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,120
since this game.
We listened to the postgame

130
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,760
interview with Mike Tomlin.
You listen to the fan, you

131
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,200
listen to Mark Mad.
It's all been put out there.

132
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,880
So, no, we're not breaking any
news, but you know, somebody's

133
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,720
got to talk about it.
Were your therapy?

134
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,600
It looked horrible.
Grant Schwabini, what did you

135
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,240
think?
Specifically about the defense.

136
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,280
Yeah, what the hell is wrong?
Read that little sign down

137
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:35,560
there.
And that's what we're working

138
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,640
on, all right.
What the hell is wrong with the

139
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,200
defense, Mark?
We need to know.

140
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,840
Well, there's a lot wrong with
the defense and I hate, I hate

141
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:48,880
to come out and be an excuse
maker right away, but let let's

142
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,120
let's be fair that there were
there.

143
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,680
There are three significant
players to the defense that were

144
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:03,360
not playing this week, 1 being
JPJ, another being Deshawn

145
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Elliott and another very early
in the game, Alex Highsmith was

146
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,080
out.
That's that's a lot.

147
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,080
That's a lot.
I mean, that's, that's, you

148
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:20,160
know, half of your secondary and
that is your next best defensive

149
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:26,120
player on the interior line line
slash linebackers next to TJ

150
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,040
Watt.
So that that's a lot to overcome

151
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:36,800
#1 But at the same time, you
know, I'm going to say that the

152
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,520
defense doesn't seem to be
playing In Sync.

153
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:46,040
It it seems like guys don't know
where other folks are supposed

154
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,240
to be.
You know, it seems like they're

155
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,760
kind of close a lot, but they're
just not getting home.

156
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,360
Like, you know, like I thought
TJ Watt the first two weeks has

157
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,480
looked pretty good actually.
I was getting in the backfield

158
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,480
making plays, but but he but he
hasn't had any sacks, you know,

159
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,680
and and I guess if you go back
to last year, if you want to

160
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,720
count that, I mean, he's had six
games in a row without a sack.

161
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,840
And that's that's not the TJ
Watt that we all know and love.

162
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,480
You know, and you know, Cam
Hayward, he you know, he made a

163
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,480
significant play when he batted
the ball up and then Herbig

164
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,600
intercepted it.
But you know, there, there,

165
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,120
there's while I do like when
guys put their hands on balls,

166
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,480
it, it also means that they
can't get to the quarterback.

167
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:39,120
That's true.
So that that's kind of another

168
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,120
thing that I I just feel like
they're the Steelers aren't

169
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,720
getting much of A pass rush.
If they are getting a pass rush

170
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,120
it seems to be more from like a
a a schemed up situation like

171
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,440
when well.
Jack Sawyer was in there a lot.

172
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,560
Yeah, Jack Sawyer was in there.
And the other linebacker,

173
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,960
Peyton, what's his name again?
Yeah, Peyton.

174
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,600
Peyton.
Wilson, right, you know, he, he

175
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,200
got in there on one occasion.
You know, look, I, I mean the

176
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,520
bottom line is, is that they,
they have a hard time, you know,

177
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,560
stopping third downs.
They have a hard time getting

178
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:23,160
off the field, you know, and,
and, and look, I, I mean, I know

179
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,040
that people say, well, maybe
they need a new defensive

180
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,160
coordinator, but isn't that
really Mike Tomlin for the most

181
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,200
part?
Yeah.

182
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,080
So he, he's, he crafts that
defense.

183
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,520
Right.
So, you know, again, I think

184
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:45,040
that was this was a similar game
to to last week defensively in

185
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,600
that.
You know, like I've.

186
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,280
Always like right, like I've but
I've always said it's it's it's

187
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,880
a splash play defense.
They they give up yards, but

188
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,440
when they're playing well, they
don't give up touchdowns and

189
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,000
they come up with turnovers.
This week.

190
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,280
They didn't, they just didn't,
you know, and, and if this team

191
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,920
doesn't get turnovers, like
actually the turnovers in this

192
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,600
game kept them in the game.
That's true, yes, in the first

193
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,240
half, 100.
Percent for a little while.

194
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,520
Right, right.
Kept them in the game but you

195
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,400
know you can't count on three or
four turnovers, you know one or

196
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,520
two should be enough to make it,
you know a a difference in you

197
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,280
winning the game and that's just
not happening either so.

198
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,520
So let's get let's let's get
some comments in here and then

199
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,560
we'll go over to you, HJ Yoho
son, who by now you should have

200
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:38,280
received your package Yoho son
with your draft gear in it.

201
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,280
If not, let me know.
But I accidentally left it in

202
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,360
the trunk of my car.
So it took an extra week to get

203
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,080
it.
Out.

204
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,280
Hopefully that was the only
thing in the trunk.

205
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,520
Of the car, no.
There's other things in the

206
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,840
trunk of my car, but not nothing
that would get me in trouble

207
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,960
unless they execute a search.
Warrant.

208
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,480
No, that's not a good place to
keep dead bodies.

209
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,760
No, definitely.
Yeah, the blood seeps out the

210
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,160
bottom.
I mean, I could go into it.

211
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,760
Yeah, there's no need to do
that.

212
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,920
Yo Host on injuries, Donald
Sharp need players to step up to

213
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,240
the potential of the Steelers.
Mike Lawrence, Right on,

214
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,840
actually.
What he's saying is they can't

215
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,040
stop the pass and they can't
tackle.

216
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,120
That hurts.
Too.

217
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,240
In case you haven't noticed,
your comments are showing up on

218
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,080
the bottom right hand of the
screen Mr. Tommy chimes in.

219
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,800
If a team can convert 1/3 and
long with a run, there's no need

220
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,080
to pass and there's no
opportunity for a pass rush.

221
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,880
That's a great.
Point.

222
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,320
That's absolutely true.
Welcome.

223
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,840
Back, Mr. Tommy.
Yellow sun, I think he says he

224
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,920
got it so.
Yeah, that is, that is one thing

225
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,360
I would say was probably the
most disappointing thing was

226
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:42,720
that essentially, you know, the,
the the the Seahawks were giving

227
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:48,400
up by running the ball, saying,
OK, we'll kick a field goal and

228
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,640
they let the guy run in like 22
yards out.

229
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,320
Yeah, that that was, that was.
13 yards, but yes, yeah.

230
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,520
Whatever it was, he he ran at
least 22 yards.

231
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,040
Running right towards us and
then run them right into the end

232
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,520
zone afterwards, yeah.
Exactly so.

233
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,160
Let me take a crack at this
defense.

234
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,000
OK, please do HJ.
Please first let me say

235
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,480
everything that the Grand Schwab
Beanie said is absolutely true,

236
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,560
but there are a few things I
want to focus in on. 1st is the

237
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:17,800
coaching.
The one thing you could do that

238
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,240
I noticed being at the game, and
that's what's so great about

239
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,760
being at the game and sitting up
high.

240
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,720
You can see the whole fields.
You can see the you can see

241
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,840
whether running zone, whether a
running man.

242
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,920
I know you can at home too
sometimes.

243
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,680
It's usually after the game,
after the play starts.

244
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,280
Almost the whole first half they
did not play a man.

245
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:40,640
They just played a zone.
And what what happened was that

246
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,880
was that dink and dunk stuff Tom
Brady killed us with.

247
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,800
This time it was with Cooper Cup
and they were taking what was

248
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,200
that we were giving them.
And we were giving them easy 88

249
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,080
yard passes.
I mean really easy plays.

250
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,440
And I'm not going to fault the
the pass rush for that because

251
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,840
essentially you can get rid of
that ball in three, you know,

252
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:04,480
less than 3 seconds.
And there's nothing that TJ or

253
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,680
Cam or, you know, Highsmith when
he was in the game could have

254
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:11,680
done anything about.
They needed to make that change

255
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,040
sooner than later.
They were so afraid of that deep

256
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,040
ball that they they weren't
going to roll it up it, but it

257
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,600
took a whole half until they
started to do it.

258
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,600
And it was effective a little
bit until that deep pass in the

259
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,400
fourth quarter that that broke
it open.

260
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:30,720
The the defense did have splash
plays like Mark said, kept them

261
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,200
in the game in the first half.
But somebody explained to me how

262
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,240
we can get the ball at the
beginning of the second-half, go

263
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,760
3 and out and then punt the ball
to them and then automatically

264
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,240
they go 80 yards down the field.
Like it was like we were Swiss

265
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,560
cheese.
Like there was like there was no

266
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:51,920
defense at all on the field.
Like, don't you make some

267
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,280
adjustments at halftime to to
say, OK, this is what we're

268
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,000
going to do.
They're going to come out,

269
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,760
they're going to do some things,
but we're going to get we're

270
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,080
going to get we're going to get
them off the field.

271
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,000
That to me was was the end of
the game.

272
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,800
I know that that, you know, that
only tied the game, but the way

273
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,720
they went down that field and
there was no problem at all

274
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,320
getting to the end zone, that's
a big deal.

275
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,080
Then, like Mark said, the end of
the game touchdown.

276
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,680
I just want to speak briefly
about the injuries.

277
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,480
I don't know what the hell is
going on with the Steelers and

278
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,880
their training staff and how
they get the this team ready for

279
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,320
the season.
How can they already have half

280
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,880
their defense out with injuries
and and I know that the field

281
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,840
was hot yesterday and they were
wearing black uniforms, but

282
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,600
there were so many guys that
were getting gassed, you know,

283
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,160
between Patrick Queen and and
Wilson and they had to put

284
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,920
Holcomb onto the field.
It was a third and long

285
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,800
situation.
He barely made the tackle to

286
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,720
stop them as you know that they
did to go 4th and short.

287
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,800
But that's ridiculous.
How can they be so out of shape

288
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,240
and not ready?
And I put that on coaching too.

289
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:08,360
And there's going to be a theme
to to my rants this week and

290
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,200
it's all about coaching.
This.

291
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,560
This team has plenty enough
players to get the get the job

292
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,040
done.
And honestly, I thought they

293
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,000
were, they had more talent on
the field in Seattle, but

294
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,480
Seattle was so well coached.
They took what was given to

295
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,640
them.
They didn't make mistakes and

296
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,160
they just kicked our ass.
And it was a shame to to be at a

297
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,040
game where, you know, it felt
like you were in it, but you

298
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,680
honestly, we were never really
in that game.

299
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:39,080
And I blame 90% of that's
probably too much, 75% of it on

300
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,120
the coaching and they just
weren't ready to get out there.

301
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,160
And that's that's what it looked
like when when you were at the

302
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,520
game.
Yeah, I I'm going to expand on a

303
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,200
lot of points here after I get a
couple more of these comments

304
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:57,840
here.
You know, Chris Chotta, what is

305
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,320
the most glaring problem you got
to you guys so far?

306
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,120
We'll get to that on defense.
Yoho, son, this is interesting.

307
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,880
He says tackle the ball instead
of just grabbing at the ball.

308
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,200
It's interesting on, on, on a
couple of those.

309
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,640
Jalen, now Jalen Ramsey, earned
his money yesterday for the most

310
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,640
part.
Well, except for that deep ball

311
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,480
that he gave.
Up that he gave up, I know, but

312
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,360
that first.
Interception was very nice.

313
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,040
You know, he read that route
perfectly.

314
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,360
He jumped it.
You know, he plays with passion.

315
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,840
It's true.
I'm a little bit surprised given

316
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,840
the, the fact that I was not I,
I, I didn't really like the

317
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,240
trade for him because I think
he's aging.

318
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,560
But that being said, he earned
his money.

319
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,080
But here's the one thing I did
notice, and I'm speaking to Yoho

320
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,840
son's point right here.
He does spend a lot of time

321
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,360
after first contact grabbing at
the ball and, and I understand

322
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,760
the reason for that, but it, it
doesn't work all the time.

323
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,120
It works probably maybe 10% of
the time or less.

324
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,000
And while you're grabbing for
the ball, these guys, they don't

325
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,040
stop moving their legs.
So you give up another 4-5, six

326
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,359
yards.
Just get him on the ground.

327
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,720
You know, old school, put your
helmet on the ball and get him

328
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,040
on the ground.
If it pops out, somebody will

329
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,520
pick it up.
Hopefully it's one of your

330
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,359
teammates, you know, But I, I, I
do think that that is kind of a,

331
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:20,640
a bad thing.
Brad Trombley, I love this.

332
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,760
Well, the best part of that game
was your live coverage, walking

333
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,040
through the crowd.
You want to know what I I

334
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,720
wouldn't have assumed that while
we were walking through the

335
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,000
crowd, but after the game, yeah,
we had some good fun with some

336
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,520
Seahawks fans.
We were trying out some new

337
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,200
equipment.
Brad, I'm glad you were able to

338
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,160
pick that up.
Thanks for all the text during

339
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,240
the game.
We had a lot of we had a lot of

340
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,040
we.
Had a lot of fun.

341
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,760
Sorry it was so glitchy.
You know how the Wi-Fi shit gets

342
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,520
down there?
The cell reception and all,

343
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,680
we'll take that into account
when we're down there for the

344
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,640
draft.
I'm already thinking about that.

345
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:50,720
Yeah, we're going to need
something.

346
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,520
Oh, and Brad, by the way, you
know our e-mail here, OG Sports

347
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,280
sports@gmail.com, send us your
address because he's been with

348
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,120
us for 5-6 years now.
Oh yeah, he, he needs some free

349
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:02,800
shit, right?
He needs some free shit.

350
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:08,720
So, so OG Sports
sports@gmail.com Brad Trombley,

351
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,120
we're going to send you some
free shit.

352
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,800
What was that?
One last comment before I give

353
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,320
you my take.
I think it was Yoho saw Mr.

354
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,840
Tommy.
Mr. Tommy is back.

355
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,200
Thank you for being here again,
Sir.

356
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,440
Our defensive line and can't
hold the line.

357
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,280
Command double teams and leave
our linebackers clean.

358
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,720
Yeah, there was a lot of
pancakes going on and it wasn't.

359
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,280
It was our defensive line that
was the pancake.

360
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:37,320
Yeah, I mean, like to Schwaber's
points on this, I I don't think

361
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,800
the secondary is the big
problem.

362
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,360
I think the big problem is our
linebacker play and and the out

363
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,400
of sync part of it.
I would agree with you there.

364
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,840
Our Rundy is absolutely
horrible.

365
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000
JPJ to me and and you guys know
how I am with players.

366
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,280
You got to prove it.
JPJ has not proven anything to

367
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,280
me yet.
Nothing.

368
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,160
So do I think that him being
healthy and in the game

369
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,040
yesterday would have would have
changed the trajectory of what

370
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,560
went on?
No, I don't.

371
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,440
I, I think Ramsey would have
still had that interception.

372
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,880
I think somebody would have
given up that deep ball.

373
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,960
You know, speaking to Steve's
point about the adjustments,

374
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,760
remember they did make an
adjustment.

375
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,640
They rolled, they rolled the
corners up in the second-half.

376
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,880
They did.
And the first thing that

377
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,160
happened was when it was Steve
said they should roll those

378
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,880
corners up to, to get into that
zone so Cooper Cup can't keep

379
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,840
shredding them slowly up the
middle.

380
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,320
Yeah, they did roll those
corners up, but it left them

381
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,960
vulnerable to the deep pass.
Yeah.

382
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,880
JSN.
Next thing you know, right, JSN

383
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
gets open and Darnold lofts one
up there.

384
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,920
Darnold, who by the way, when
he's under pressure, looks like

385
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,880
he like lost his car keys and he
has to go to the hospital for a

386
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,800
birth and you can't find his car
keys.

387
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,720
And then he throws the ball.
You know, it's like, it's like

388
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,040
to me, I'm looking at that and
I'm saying, and we haven't even

389
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,000
talked about the offense yet.
I'm saying this defense is so

390
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,880
poorly organized because, you
know, just like you said, HJ,

391
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,480
they have the talent.
They have.

392
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,760
They have the talent
individually.

393
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,920
Now.
I will say that watching Darius

394
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,600
Slay play, the guy's definitely
lost.

395
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,160
Probably a little more.
Than he has, but he wasn't the

396
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,520
guy getting burnt.
Yesterday.

397
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,400
But he's probably the reason
they're not rolling it up.

398
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,480
But Schwaber, you should be.
You should be glad that the

399
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,320
Eagles let him go this year,
because I think this is the year

400
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,640
he looks slow out there when
you're watching live.

401
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,880
And I followed him for a pretty
good portion of the snaps he was

402
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,120
in.
I was following him around the

403
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:40,280
field.
He brings a lot of experience,

404
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,120
but he's he's finally lost that
step.

405
00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:44,760
He's the who's the guy that we
signed, that Peterson guy?

406
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Peterson.

407
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,800
He's he's that guy now.
So God bless him.

408
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,400
But I we can't rely on him.
Our defensive line is absolutely

409
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,000
atrocious.
Atrocious.

410
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,080
I know Cam Hayward, all you Cam
Hayward haters and then lovers

411
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,520
and then whatever you are now.
Yeah, He batted a ball down and

412
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,400
Peyton Wilson picked it up.
Batted it up.

413
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,360
Or batted it up, whatever.
And it wasn't Peyton Wilson.

414
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,760
Is this my point that I'm
making?

415
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,480
Or no, you keep saying Peyton
Wilson, but it was her.

416
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,480
Big Yeah, I know, I know.
I got a problem.

417
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,960
They both look the same to me.
They're 2.

418
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,800
They're undersized.
That's racist.

419
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:27,240
And no, it's not.
It's Sizist.

420
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:33,160
I'm Sizist.
OK, Jesus Christ anyway, just.

421
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,240
Go with your.
Thoughts.

422
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,600
You know, the the line is
terrible.

423
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,480
It's not coach.
Well, yes, there's injuries.

424
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,960
I know Harmon, he's you know, he
can't play right now.

425
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,320
Our linebackers.
I I thought Patrick Queen, he's

426
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,200
he's playing a little better
this year.

427
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,720
He's not afraid to burst through
the gap and he is trusting

428
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,320
what's behind him because he has
veteran leadership in that

429
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,560
secondary that that's a good
thing.

430
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:59,080
But we're just we're just not
there.

431
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,640
And that defensive scheme is not
putting pressure on the

432
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,080
quarterback.
And I actually think Steelers

433
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:09,560
Nation that this idea of this is
what I don't like about what

434
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,400
what the Steelers will do once
in a while, they will cave to

435
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,080
public opinion.
And last year at the end of the

436
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,360
year, what was public opinion on
TJ Watt?

437
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,880
He didn't have any sacks the
last five games.

438
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:22,960
They need to start switching
them around.

439
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,640
Look, it's it.
It doesn't help.

440
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,000
As a matter of fact, Broderick
Jones, from right tackle to left

441
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,640
tackle, nobody understands or
people don't understand it.

442
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,920
It takes, it's going to take him
a year to learn how to play the

443
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,640
position.
Yeah, you know, I mean, we all

444
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,720
say he sucks.
Well, of course he sucks.

445
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,280
Well, he got better this game, I
think.

446
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,600
He did get a little better, but
you know, we got and, and so

447
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,680
we're talking about the D now.
We'll move on to that.

448
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,720
So, you know, I, I, I really
think that we have a serious

449
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,520
problem when it comes to that
run defense.

450
00:22:55,120 --> 00:23:01,240
And I, I think that is the most
glaring to go all the way back.

451
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:08,680
That is the most glaring issue
is our front 2-3 or four on that

452
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,520
defensive line on the defense.
No pressure, no, no way to stop

453
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,400
the run.
That leaves the secondary

454
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,360
vulnerable all the time.
And even former All Pro

455
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,320
cornerbacks and safeties are
going to have issues when it's

456
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,800
open season on throwing the ball
over the middle. 149.5 rushing

457
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,960
yards per game The Steelers are
giving up, only beaten by the

458
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,440
Giants, the Bills, the Vikings
and the Titans.

459
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,560
Yeah, the Giants give up 177.
You mean only better then I

460
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,520
wouldn't call that.
They're working their way to the

461
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,840
top of this.
List of the worst list, right?

462
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,440
Right.
I wouldn't call that the only

463
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,320
teams beating them.
They're the only teams worse

464
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,760
than them.
Though every other team in the

465
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,480
league is beating them, yeah.
Mr. Tommy is back with another

466
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,200
comment.
Our defensive line can't hold

467
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,280
the line.
Command double teams.

468
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,280
Leave your linebackers clean.
I already put that one up there.

469
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,960
Sorry, guys, Brad Tromley said.
He sent you his shipping.

470
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,520
I got it pass pass.
It along to me and we'll get it

471
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,880
out.
I'll get it out.

472
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,080
I'll get it out this week.
I'm not going to get it out

473
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,120
tomorrow.
Well, I might get it out

474
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:08,480
tomorrow.
I'm just not going to make any

475
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,640
promises.
I wouldn't make any promises.

476
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,400
I'm not.
There's lots of things in your

477

479
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,720
Expunger baby.
What's up guys?

480
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,640
What's wrong with the receivers?
Yeah, we're going to move to the

501
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:13,560
We'll tell you like we feel it.
We've been friends for a long

502
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,760
time, no?
Doubt about that.

503
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,640
We're not going to mince meat.
There's no possible way that we

504
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,280
can offend each other.
Most we try though, we try and

505
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,800
outdoor ourselves.
Most of the time, Pat, Pat

506
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,920
Donovan says wait till you play
Derrick Henry twice.

507
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,200
Can't wait.
Exactly.

508
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,640
It can't be any worse.
Exactly, exactly.

509
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:36,600
So let's let's go now to let's
talk about the offense.

510
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,520
What's what's wrong with the
offense, the scheme or the

511
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,520
players or both.
That's that's what I came up

512
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,800
with it.
You know, what's what is it?

513
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,080
What's wrong with it?
What's that Chada's question?

514
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,720
What's wrong with the receivers?
No, that was that was the our

515
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,920
vampire first person.
Oh, OK.

516
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,400
Expunger baby.
Thank you very much.

517
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,720
Expunger Baby I.
Love that.

518
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,920
I love that.
Put his, put his comment up

519
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,960
there again if you got it, Yeah.
Yeah, I got it right here.

520
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,040
Yeah, OK.
Yeah.

521
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,200
Here it is.
What's up, guys?

522
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,080
What's wrong with the receivers?
Are they really that bad?

523
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,200
They can't get open at all?
HJ, you want to you want to

524
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,560
chime in on what your thoughts
are?

525
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,320
Yeah.
I will it.

526
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:23,080
To me, it looked like every play
the Steelers ran, Seattle knew

527
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,120
where we were going.
Like we put somebody in motion

528
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,280
and it was usually CA 3 and he'd
end up in the flat or whatever.

529
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,080
They had somebody on him right
away.

530
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:36,200
Like they knew that was coming.
And it, you know, they did that

531
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,760
crossing route last week, same
thing.

532
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,240
They're there.
It's like they're running the

533
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,440
same place over and over again.
And Seattle, once again, a well

534
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,920
coached team, picked right up on
that.

535
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:51,080
And it was really hard for for
players to get open, especially

536
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,760
the wide receivers when that
happened.

537
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:57,280
I think the only time that they
did get they did get open was

538
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,000
when, you know, Aaron Rodgers
wasn't really running for his

539
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,240
life, but he the pocket was
collapsing on him and there was

540
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,040
no one player that was close to
him.

541
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,120
But Aaron Rodgers is so good at
getting out of that pocket and

542
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,720
then finding a little bit of
daylight so he can throw the

543
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,520
ball.
That's one thing about him that

544
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:19,040
he has not lost he that he still
has the that ability to do that.

545
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,800
And when he would do that, then
it would kind of be a little bit

546
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,600
of a scramble or he would then
be able the guy would be open

547
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,680
because he would have a couple
extra seconds to get it to that

548
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,440
guy.
I thought that was their

549
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,680
unfortunately their best play.
But there when your best play is

550
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,840
basically a broken play, that's
going to be a problem every

551
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,600
time.
And I don't think it's I don't

552
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,960
think it was the receivers that
that were, you know, not

553
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,680
talented enough to get open.
I just think it's, I think it's

554
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,840
the play scheming.
I'm I'm going to, I'm, I'm going

555
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,440
to pick the scheme on this one.
I'm not going to pick the

556
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,880
players.
Clearly the scheme then leads to

557
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,120
the bad offense.
They had a short field several

558
00:27:57,120 --> 00:27:58,920
times and could only get a field
goal.

559
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,480
You know, I, I didn't like that.
And you know, 38 yard field goal

560
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,440
is not like they even got into
the red zone.

561
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,640
And I just thought their offense
had so much trouble stringing

562
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,200
plays together because of it.
And that's going to be a problem

563
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,760
moving forward.
The other thing too is, and you

564
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,960
know, unfortunately I listen to
Tomlin on the post game with.

565
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,280
Yeah, that was.
Latitudes and latitudes.

566
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,040
So hard to listen to.
And you know, as a collective,

567
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,640
we couldn't get it together and
then July we could get it

568
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,680
together and it just drove me
crazy to just listen to him make

569
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,160
excuses and I that.
So that's my take on the

570
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,080
offense.
I can't wait until we talk about

571
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,600
this Caleb Johnson situation.
Yeah, we'll get there.

572
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:40,040
Let.
Me.

573
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,840
Let me.
The one last thing I want to say

574
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,400
is they did a better job of
having one running back in there

575
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,040
and Jalen Warren and I think
that helped the running game,

576
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,520
but I still don't think he is
the right running back and I'll

577
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,480
just end it with that good
Schwabian.

578
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,080
Yeah, well, one of the things
that I was able to see that I,

579
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,040
I'm going to guess you probably
couldn't see this way high up at

580
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:08,320
the game, the interception that
Rogers threw in the end zone.

581
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,600
Right.
Yes, right.

582
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,880
You want to get to like, you
know, the coaching again, they

583
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,800
pointed it out on the TV, the
announcers, that this was an

584
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,600
absolute mistake by CA-3.
Yeah.

585
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,440
In, in that basically what CA 3
is supposed to do when you know

586
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,360
there's a tight end that's
coming behind you in the back of

587
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,280
the end zone and you're now in
scramble drill.

588
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,640
He's supposed to come back to
the ball.

589
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,320
And instead he didn't come back
to the ball.

590
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,040
He went straight back towards
Friarmouth.

591
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,000
You had two guys in the same
place.

592
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:48,160
He was actually, he was actually
throwing the Friarmouth and you

593
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,040
know, then of course, you know,
he ends up tipping the ball and

594
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,800
it gets intercepted, right.
So you know that, that that was,

595
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,120
you know, that's one where look,
I mean, I don't know, I, I, I

596
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,880
think that you could look at it
two ways.

597
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,200
It could.
You could just say, well that's

598
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,840
a mistake by CA-3 or you could
say is that coached well enough?

599
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,120
Right coaching.
Well, it's that's that's both.

600
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,240
That's both.
You know he's.

601
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,520
He needs to be coached and he
ran the wrong route.

602
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,360
I mean that it's his fault for
running the wrong route.

603
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,040
How much coaching went into
preparing him for this

604
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,200
particular play?
The the other thing I would say

605
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,880
with the offense is, you know,
and I don't want to knock this

606
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,320
guy because I think he's one of
the best things they got going.

607
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,600
But you know, DK Metcalf has
been dropping the ball quite a

608
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:34,840
bit.
Yeah, he.

609
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Has I think he had three drops
this week, Yeah.

610
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,360
Well, I, I, I think two were
definitely his fault, but the

611
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,680
one was it was thrown pretty
hard.

612
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,960
But yeah, you're right.
In fact, the Seattle fans in

613
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,560
front of us, they were like
happy when he was dropping

614
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,200
balls.
They're like, oh, how many times

615
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,680
have we seen that Seattle that
and.

616
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,840
That that that was an
interesting thing.

617
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,440
We had a a group like like HJ
was saying of Seattle fans and

618
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,280
there.
Were two of them.

619
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,600
Well, there were a bunch. 2 is
not a group.

620
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,480
So contrary tonight I mean the
other.

621
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,800
The other thing is in.
The group I'm just trying to. 2

622
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,840
is a couple, yeah.
The other the other thing too

623
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,120
that I I want to comment on and
this.

624
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,920
Goes directly.
This this goes directly to Mike

625
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,440
Tomlin.
I mean, how about just no balls

626
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,080
at all?
None I mean.

627
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,520
I mean, what was it?
What was it on the 48 yard line?

628
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,680
Yep, 48 yard line. 4th and one,
Yep.

629
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,960
I mean, you're going to kick it
there.

630
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,920
Kick it.
I mean, he was getting loudly

631
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,240
booed at the stage when that
happened, yes.

632
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,720
I thought that was weak.
I mean, you know, if you're

633
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,920
talking about being aggressive
and you know, you don't run from

634
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,200
the challenge or untoward the
challenge, right?

635
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,640
You know that that was running
from the challenge.

636
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,080
And why would you?
As a as a collective?

637
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,880
Why would the challenge as a
collective?

638
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,760
And why would you have faith in
your defense at that point?

639
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,680
Like I, I, I don't know why he
has this faith in his defense,

640
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,080
maybe because he's seeing
something that we don't.

641
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,000
But there was no reason to have
faith.

642
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,240
And you know, and you know,
what's the, the other thing I

643
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,200
think too, and I, I kind of, I
kind of blame this on Arthur

644
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,760
Smith and Tomlin kind of as a
combo.

645
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,600
And it, and it's as a
collective.

646
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,080
And, and to be honest, it's,
it's it's odd because what I'm

647
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,920
going to say is I think that
what the Steelers do is they

648
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,680
take a really good thing.
They actually kind of turn it

649
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,480
into a problem.
And that's Boswell.

650
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,240
He's so automatic.
I feel like I feel like they're

651
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,800
just fine with kicking 50 plus
yard field goals instead of

652
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,600
trying to get the first down.
Amen to that.

653
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,080
I, I texted, agree with you.
I tweeted out.

654
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,000
I tweeted out.
For those of you watching,

655

Whatever it is, look up the

657
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,320
sports porch I tweeted out
during the game.

658
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,160
Once again, Chris Boswell is the
MVP of the Steelers.

659
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,600
I mean, I brought this up three
shows ago and kind of, you know,

660
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,960
we you guys kind of dismissed it
or Steve kind of dismissed it,

661
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:17,080
but I how long are they going to
rely on Baz's foot to score?

662
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,480
You got to be scoring
touchdowns.

663
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:25,200
You got to take risks and you
know he's going to go through a

664
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,200
slump.
I don't want him to who does

665
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:33,760
every kicker, great or bad, has
a a string of, you know, great

666
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,680
games.
And then, you know, something

667
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,400
gets in their head and and they
miss a few.

668
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,800
They miss a few.
Well, Klein, that doesn't even

669
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,080
matter.
He he could go 38 for 41 this

670
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,640
year and not have a slump.
But if you keep going down 7 to

671
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,920
6 because you're in the
opponent's territory twice in

672
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,240
the first quarter and you kicked
2 field goals, that's losing the

673
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:57,480
game.
Yeah, right.

674
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,160
Yeah, I'm.
I'm with you, Expunger Baby says

675
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,880
yeah, I'm not sure if the
receivers weren't getting open,

676
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,520
it just seemed like Rodgers
couldn't find anyone.

677
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,240
But I listened to the game.
I couldn't watch it.

678
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,520
Chris Chada says something here
that's interesting.

679
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,800
Aaron called out a wide receiver
last year for a bad route and he

680
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,159
called out Austin yesterday.
Do you think that helps or hurts

681
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,960
in this case?
I think it helps because the

682
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,960
Steelers have that not had
leadership at quarterback,

683
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,400
right, for Austin's entire
career.

684
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,719
And Aaron Rodgers commands
respect in that locker room.

685
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,880
So when, you know, I'm sure when
he called him out behind the

686
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:38,320
scenes, it wasn't some, you
know, nasty confrontation.

687
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,960
It was probably like, hey,
listen, we've practiced this.

688
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,679
You ought to know this.
This is what you do on this

689
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:45,080
route.
Let's get it right.

690
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,400
Like that's the stage that it's
at right now.

691
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,760
And that's good for Calvin on,
you know, other teams, bigger

692
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:56,199
receivers AB would have taken
exception to that, you know, but

693
00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:58,840
I don't see that as as as an
issue right now.

694
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,000
No, I I think the problem here
is 2 fold.

695
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,840
I think it's both.
I think it's the scheme which is

696
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,600
predictable, yet better than
previous years.

697
00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:16,280
And I never want to say that O
CS name again, but it's it's so

698
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,160
it's more NFL.
Yeah, Canada, it's more NFL.

699
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:21,840
It's an NFL offense.
Yeah.

700
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,520
Well, but what I noticed during
the game and somebody can

701
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,360
correct me if I'm wrong, but I
even mentioned it to you Yeah,

702
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,680
is that there's very little
misdirection, right?

703
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:34,160
There's very little pre snap
motion.

704
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,240
And that seems to be the calling
card, which is why, yes, it

705
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:45,200
seemed like Seattle's defense
for probably, I would say 60 to

706
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:51,400
75%, maybe more, but 60 to 75%
of the offenses of the offensive

707
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,920
plays that were called, it
seemed like they knew exactly

708
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,240
what was coming and they had the
right defense called.

709
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,640
And so a conspiracy therapist
could say, well, they're Bill

710
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,000
Belichick in it, you know, no,
they just, they're studying film

711
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,800
like crazy.
And there's some predictors in

712
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,000
the way we we play.
And I'm with you, Schwab.

713
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:17,840
Look, DK Metcalf, I question his
ability as a true number one.

714
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,760
And once again, you guys are,
well, you know, he is the number

715
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,120
one.
Yeah, he is the number one.

716
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,680
But I mean, I didn't see him
getting open.

717
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,720
Well, he was open and the what
would have helped.

718
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:33,880
Couple times.
Is that one that he did drop?

719
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,880
Mark was another one right
across the middle and he could

720
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,680
have run for a very long time on
that if he would have just

721
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,080
decided to catch it before he
was trying to figure out where

722
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,320
he goes.
Can we, can we, can I talk about

723
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:46,600
the rushing offense for a
second?

724
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,120
Yeah, go for it.
So the rushing offense is

725
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:54,400
absolutely pathetic.
It's averaging 62.5 yards per

726
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,000
game.
That is the fourth worst in the

727
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:02,120
NFL and it's also fourth worst
in yards per attempt at 3 yards,

728
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,720
3 yards per attempt.
And you know Pat is talking

729
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:09,480
about red zone efficiency.
I agree with you Pat.

730
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,040
I think red zone efficiency is a
very important stat.

731
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,480
Well, the Steelers are 80% in
that stat.

732
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,400
The problem is, is they only get
2.5.

733
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:22,840
They've only had five total red
zone red zone entries this this

734
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,600
season and that's not enough.
That's the one of the worst in

735
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,600
the league.
There's only two teams that have

736
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,400
worse red zone entries than than
the Pittsburgh Steelers.

737
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:33,960
You mean there's two teams
beating them?

738
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,960
Right, Two teams.
Well, they're a lot of teams

739
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,800
tied for those two teams.
So it's actually six or seven

740
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,760
teams.
But I don't want to confuse you,

741
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,120
Chris, with numbers.
So we'll let's just, let's just

742
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,800
stick to the topic of the red
zone.

743
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,560
The red zone is important, but
the Steelers have to get into

744
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,560
the red zone in order for them
to be efficient about it.

745
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,320
That's the problem with the
Steelers.

746
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,560
Their offense just can't keep it
going.

747
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,000
And to me, it seems like the
offense, although I agree with

748
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,520
you more like a real NFL
offense, it seems like they only

749
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,760
have, they only have a few, they
only have a few plays that they

750
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,800
like to play and they can't mix
it up.

751
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,360
It's not like they're they're
not adding anything new.

752
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,120
And teams that are going to be
well coached, which are most of

753
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,000
the teams in the NFL, they're
going to have a problem with

754
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,480
because it's going to make our
offense look more like a a

755
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,400
Midget football team than it
than it will an NFL football

756
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,680
team.
Yeah, and I, and as far as the

757
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,600
run games concerned, I, I've
said it before, I'll say it

758
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,560
again.
Jalen Warren, he has flashes,

759
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,160
you know, that that catch and
run yesterday, you know, in the

760
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,440
third quarter it was great, but
it led to nothing, you know,

761
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,080
basically.
Well, an interception in the

762
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:44,960
end.
Of thank you.

763
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,960
That's nothing or less than
nothing in which I thought was

764
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,280
impossible according to you.
Well.

765
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,360
It wasn't his fault.
No, you can be.

766
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,040
He could have negative.
Numbers, yeah, right.

767
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,560
So and and Caleb Johnson and
we're going to dovetail right

768
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:03,400
into this special teams play.
Yes, Caleb Johnson has shown me

769
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:10,040
absolutely nothing because our
coaches will not let him show us

770
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:14,320
anything.
And Gainwell, God bless his

771
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,160
little heart, comes over from
the Eagles with a great big

772
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,280
shiny Super Bowl ring.
I don't know why he's the number

773
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:26,520
2 back, because when he's in the
game, the other team knows he's

774
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,840
getting the ball.
OK, so it, it, it's scheme and

775
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,800
the players and you know, let's,
let's talk about the line real

776
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,840
quick.
Looked slightly better.

777
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,080
But remember, Jones played right
tackle his entire NFL career,

778
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,200
which is now three years.
He came out after starting only

779
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:53,680
11 games or so as a left tackle.
You wasted 2 full seasons trying

780
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,840
to get him to learn the opposite
side.

781
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,520
And as the counselor, our good
friend who's a guest here every

782
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,880
now and then pointed out right
when you flip from the right

783
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,800
side to the left side as an
offensive lineman, it's not as

784
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,840
simple as everything is just
opposite.

785
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,400
That's hard enough.
Yeah, it's a like playing a

786
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,640
totally new position.
You got to give him some time.

787
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,000
The problem is you brought in
Aaron Rodgers to throw the ball

788
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,600
down field and this guy isn't
ready.

789
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,920
He isn't not at Rodgers Jones,
he's not ready.

790
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,560
And so of course, all the all
the all the shit's going to fall

791
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,400
on him.
You know, he sucks.

792
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:31,400
He sucks.
He sucks.

793
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,560
No, he doesn't suck.
I, and I know I've said that in

794
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,080
the past, I'm going to retract
that.

795
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:39,600
He doesn't suck.
He's not ready and.

796
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,840
That's you know what it is.
You know what Broder Jones is

797
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,760
really good at?
What help?

798
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,640
Helping people up when the
play's over.

799
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,920
First one there to help him up.
Yeah, he's got that down.

800
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,760
OK, so let's see what Pat Off
Track says.

801
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,480
Mortgage broker, Technical
director having difficulties

802
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,120
with arithmetic.
No longer a mortgage broker.

803
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,240
Yes, a technical director.
Always had difficulties with

804
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:07,120
arithmetic.
Thank you, Pat.

805
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,480
Off Track.
By the way, I, I think the

806
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,880
point, I think the point that
you were actually getting AT,

807
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,960
and I think Steve would agree
with as well is and, and I heard

808
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,040
somebody on the radio say it
like this this morning.

809
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:22,520
And I was like, exactly.
You know, I heard, I heard Caleb

810
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,720
Johnson as a running back.
Exactly.

811
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,480
Yeah, you know, and and you
know, look, he's also a a

812
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,280
running back who does well when
he gets, you know, a a heavy

813
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,640
volume of carries in a game.
And he's not exactly, he's not

814
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,760
exactly the fastest guy, but he
wears defenses down.

815
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:47,360
That's what he did in college.
So why is this guy who is never

816
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,960
been a returner who's not super
fast, why is he running kicks

817
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,960
back?
We were thinking the same thing

818
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,400
yesterday.
You know why?

819
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,080
Because they don't want to use
him in the position they draft

820
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,720
him for.
I mean, they drafted him so high

821
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,720
and he has two rushes in the
first two games.

822
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,040
I mean, that's just, that's
classic stealer misdirection

823
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,720
with drafting and not using the
talent that you're drafting

824
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:15,200
because they don't know how to
use it and they're terrible

825
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,360
coaches and I can't wait to get
to this special teams.

826
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:19,760
Yeah.
So let's get right there.

827
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,240
So everybody has heard about
this, the kickoff that Kayla

828
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:27,040
Johnson mishandled.
The kick off her.

829
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,640
Round the world bounced in the
field of play and then into the

830
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,280
end zone and the rule is if it
bounces in the field of play.

831
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,120
It's in play.
It's in play so that if it goes

832
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,600
into the end zone you must
recover it to down it, or if the

833
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,840
other team recovers it, it's a
touchdown if it bounces directly

834
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,960
in the end zone.
Then it's a touchback.

835
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,280
That's right, because it didn't
land in the landing zone, which

836
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,960
is in the field of play.
New role this year.

837
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,800
So what was the first thing that
came to your mind when you saw

838
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,320
that happen?
Because it was literally the

839
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,520
first thing out of your mouth
after the dust settled.

840
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:06,320
The first thing that came to my
mind is nobody has yet said it.

841
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:11,120
I haven't heard it.
There is no way they practice

842
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,080
this.
There is no way that Caleb

843
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:17,480
Johnson was told that rule.
Because if he did, do you think

844
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,720
that he just totally turned off
his brain and because he's not

845
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,000
clearly not learning any
offensive plays, that he turned

846
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,480
off his brain and said, oh,
that's going into the end zone.

847
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,080
I have to get it because it
bounced on the 15 yard line

848
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,520
before it happened.
No, it didn't.

849
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,760
It never entered his head.
I'm I contend that the coaching

850
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,400
staff never practice that play.
Or if they did, they practice it

851
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:47,000
once in the first week of
preseason and never went back to

852
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,640
it because they thought
everybody had it because they're

853
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,880
such perfect coaches that
everybody listened to them the

854
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,200
first time.
And you know that it takes at

855
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,800
least 10 times to tell somebody
before it gets in, get stuck in

856
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,120
their crawl up here in your
head, and nobody else was

857
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,160
running after the ball after it
happened.

858
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,040
He there was one can.
He Gainwell did, but he was he

859
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,640
was he was blocking a guy and
then he turned around and it's

860
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,840
too late at that point.
But the other, the other person

861
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:17,000
who was to the left of him who
would have been returning the

862
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,400
ball, he didn't he didn't do
anything.

863
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,280
He just ran off the field like
everybody else ran off the

864
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,120
field.
You can tell by the way, and and

865
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,800
we could see the full field.
So there was absolutely nobody

866
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,960
that was like, Oh my God, he's
not going after that ball.

867
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,120
I have to go after it.
There was another guy once again

868
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:39,480
way too late after he saw 3
Seattle Seahawks going after it.

869
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,800
He ran after the Seahawks
because that's the only time he

870
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,000
noticed.
Yeah, I contend that the the

871
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:49,440
coaching was so terrible on that
that they never practice it.

872
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,800
And he never knew to do that.
And that's a problem that that

873
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:59,000
to me, from Tomlin down to Danny
Smith, the whole way down to

874
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,560
Caleb Johnson.
First, they're misusing Caleb

875
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,240
Johnson.
Second of all, they're not

876
00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:04,680
coaching him.
And now you know what they're

877
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,080
doing.
They're making him the

878
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,240
scapegoat.
They're.

879
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:09,760
Saying that rule is a rookie
mistake.

880
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,960
You know he'll never make that
mistake again.

881
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,400
Yeah, he won't make that mistake
again because now he knows.

882
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,800
If you didn't coach it into him
to begin with, then how the hell

883
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,240
is he supposed to know to go get
that ball?

884
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:24,640
That's what's ridiculous about
it.

885
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,880
So.
And by the way, has anybody

886
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,800
heard Caleb Johnson talking
about?

887
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,600
It I mean.
Has anybody asked Caleb Johnson

888
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,160
anything about?
It I don't know I.

889
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,200
Know the answer is no, they
haven't.

890
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:37,360
You know why as.
Far as we.

891
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,040
Because they don't want Caleb
Johnson to have to lie.

892
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,000
And they don't want Caleb
Johnson saying I, I I never, I

893
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,200
never knew that.
Yeah.

894
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,720
Because if he says he never knew
that, then that's goes back to

895
00:45:49,720 --> 00:45:51,360
the coaching.
And they don't want to make the

896
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,280
coaches look worse than they
already are.

897
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,560
Yeah.
So I, you know, I, I, I would

898
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,280
say that if if you listen, and
we were listening to this, the

899
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,880
Tomlin press conference after
the game as we were walking back

900
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,720
to the parking lot.
And Tom, I don't know if you

901
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:09,560
heard it, Steve, but when they
asked the question, I know you

902
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,000
heard this and said, what about
the kid?

903
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,880
And he said rookie, rookie,
making a rookie mistake.

904
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,480
There was a follow up question.
I think you were laughing or

905
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,560
reacting to it.
I don't know if you heard it.

906
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,800
The follow up question was,
well, is that something you

907
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,960
practice?
And Mike Tomlin answered every

908
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,600
single day.
So yeah, basically what he's

909
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,200
asking.
Us to believe what he's saying

910
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,400
is they practice to kick off
every single day right there's

911
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,440
no way in hell they practice a
flubbed kickoff like that every

912
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,160
single day that goes into.
The end zone.

913
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,880
He's so full of shit.
Tomlin is.

914
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,520
He believes that every time he
talks about.

915
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,120
And that's the problem with the
Steelers.

916
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,040
Their coaching believes the shit
that they're saying.

917
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:54,120
By the way, I I have another
point on this that seems to have

918
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,240
eluded everybody.
Oh, I can't wait to.

919
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:57,880
Hear.
Oh good.

920
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:05,920
And, and and to be honest, I
feel like it eluded Tomlin and I

921
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:10,920
think there was an opportunity
to get out of this situation and

922
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,120
they didn't even ask to have it.
Take a look at.

923
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,920
I mean, I'm telling you right
now, like as I watched replay

924
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:23,880
after replay from home, OK, it
looked like the Seahawk had the

925
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:29,320
ball in his hands for a split
second, had like one knee down

926
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,440
in the end zone for a split
second.

927
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:35,400
And he was in the white like
instantly.

928
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:40,600
I mean, I, I, I don't, I, I
can't imagine why you wouldn't

929
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,040
challenge that.
I imagine if if he doesn't have

930
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:49,440
full possession in the end zone,
is that then either a touchback

931
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,240
safety?
No, it's a touchback.

932
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,160
Yeah, it's a touchback.
I mean, why would you not take a

933
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,320
look at that?
It was like it just happened so

934
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:57,720
fast.
Yeah, I was.

935
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:03,680
I was talking to another guy who
actually was at the game and and

936
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,200
said the same thing.
We thought he was out of the end

937
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,960
zone.
I mean, I mean, look, I mean, I,

938
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,320
I guess I'm going to say maybe
he was in if so, so very few

939
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:18,680
people are talking about this,
but I swear to God, I mean, that

940
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,880
was extremely close and he
didn't even take a look at it.

941
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,480
That's a really good point.
We don't know that you your your

942
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,440
point is very well taken.
Yes, and I was having the same

943
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,320
thoughts as I was watching it
because when it happened in real

944
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:34,680
time, it was like what the hell
happened?

945
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:35,720
What's he supposed to be?
Hey, what?

946
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:37,240
What?
Oh my God, it's a touchdown.

947
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,680
But I was watching on the big
board and they showed that

948
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,480
replay a couple times and a lot
of people in the crowd reacted.

949
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,520
I thought the same thing you
did.

950
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,920
Absolutely.
I thought it and watching on the

951
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,240
big board, it's not like
watching ATV.

952
00:48:51,240 --> 00:48:53,560
It's the same angle, but you're
far away, you know.

953
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,960
But I was like, I don't know
that was he really.

954
00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:00,560
Did he really recover it or, you
know, I have to think because

955
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:05,160
every scoring play is reviewed
and there was some time.

956
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,760
That's a good point.
There was some time in between.

957
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,080
They definitely reviewed it.
I'm I'm.

958
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,480
Well, but, but you know, but you
know what, though, I, what I

959
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:18,400
think though, was I think that
the the focus was off of whether

960
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,680
or not he was in bounds.
It was.

961
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:25,040
Whether he had the ball.
The focus was, you know, did it

962
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,200
hit him?
Did it land in play?

963
00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:30,360
You know, that's, that's what
like the whole focus was about.

964
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,320
That's what everybody.
Sorry, Mark.

965
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,480
No, that's OK.
That I think that's what that's

966
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,960
what everybody on TV was talking
about, you know, did he?

967
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,320
First of all, I don't think he
even has to touch it, right?

968
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,600
It's just in play if it lands in
bounds, right?

969
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,920
Right.
That's right, he doesn't have to

970
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,400
touch.
It but, you know, because this

971
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,480
is such a rare thing on TV they
were talking about.

972
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,600
Did he touch it?
Oh, yeah, He touched it.

973
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:54,640
Slow motion.
Yeah.

974
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,000
It hit his helmet, hit his, hit
his arm.

975
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,280
You know, they, they were like
stuck on that and and nobody was

976
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,760
paying any attention to if the
guy was in bounds or not.

977
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,920
I don't.
Know you know and and in the

978
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,800
grand scheme of things, guess
what doesn't matter.

979
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:11,240
Yeah, that didn't.
Matter.

980
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,600
It doesn't matter.
I mean, yeah, games are the,

981
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:18,600
the, the, the reality is this is
that whether or not he was in

982
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:24,240
bounds or not on the recovery,
the Steelers collectively as a

983
00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:25,760
team.
Didn't know they had.

984
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:27,920
Didn't know they had to go after
the ball.

985
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:32,160
Yeah, that's, that's 100% right.
They got a lot of stuff they

986
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,200
need to fix and.
By the way, T DS actually

987
00:50:35,240 --> 00:50:37,840
absolutely right.
The NFL automatically reviews

988
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,120
every scoring play.
Yeah, excellent.

989
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,000
I mean, I I feel like that's
information we should all know

990
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:44,080
just as well.
Now.

991
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:45,640
Now everybody in the world.
Knows it.

992
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,360

1008
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,680
I, I got to be honest with you,
we, we promise all the time to

1009
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,400
put a lot more articles up
there.

1010
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,400
The three of us are not writers,
although I I do count Schwab to

1011
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,760
be a pretty good writer, and me
myself.

1012
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,400
Steve needs a little help with
punctuation, but.

1013
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,880
I'm a math guy.
Yeah, and that's my engineering.

1014
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,120
We we, we, we are going to start
putting some articles up there

1015
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,680
again, I hope the last one that
Schwaber put up about O'Neill

1016
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,240
Cruz shouldn't be getting
anywhere near the All Star game.

1017
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:51,320
That got a lot of play Schwaber.
So, you know, you Got Talent

1018
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,160
there that's untapped.
Kind of seems like I was right

1019
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,800
about that one too, huh?
And you were exactly right,

1020
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,960
because we got a prediction
coming from you in a little bit.

1021
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,640
Yes, I.
I got to you keep going, but I

1022
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,800
got to find out exactly what
he's hitting right now.

1023
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,080
OK, All right.

to the podcast in the car on
your way to work tomorrow.

1026
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,640
We would love if you would leave
a comment there.

1027
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,320
We're looking forward to the
draft this year in Pittsburgh.

1028
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,000
We got a lot of draft gear out
here.

1029
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:28,520
Hey, different subject in the
Eagles Chiefs game yesterday.

1030
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,080
This is Mike Lawrence.
Welcome back.

1031
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,400
What about the ball starts on
the tush push plays?

1032
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,800
Listen before you say anything,
Schwaber, that's a great, that's

1033
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:42,240
a great question.
When those tush pushes were

1034
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:45,400
happening, I was after the game.
We went back to Steve's house in

1035
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:46,800
Greenfield.
In the city of.

1036
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,040
Pittsburgh got to Where was that
pizza from?

1037
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,920
Thank you, Cappa Zutos.
Cappa Zutos in Greenfield.

1038
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:56,480
Let me tell you something that
is, and I've had it a few times

1039
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,080
and I've thought this every
single time.

1040
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:02,000
One of the best slices of pie
I've had in Pittsburgh.

1041
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,200
And you can get an extra large
for only $20.

1042
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,600
Yeah, which to me still sounds
expensive, but that's cheap for

1043
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,480
today, you know?
Freaking is man.

1044
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,160
What is it again?
Oh, with pepperoni.

1045
00:53:12,240 --> 00:53:16,320
Cappa zuto cappa zuto cappa.
Zuto man, I paid, I paid like I

1046
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,720
paid like 37 for one for
delivery the other day.

1047
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,560
Good.
God, it's a fucking pizza.

1048
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:25,240
I.
Know anyway we we did we were

1049
00:53:25,240 --> 00:53:27,480
watching that money we.
Were watching that game and the.

1050
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,920
First time we we were like
maybe, maybe he moved, but that

1051
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,800
last time it was clear at least
one guy moved way ahead of ahead

1052
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,880
of it I.
I think and, and you know,

1053
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,600
Schwaber was watching it, you
know it at his own home, hanging

1054
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,320
out with his Eagles buddies
online.

1055
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:47,120
And I, it looked to me like
there was a false start on every

1056
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:51,080
one of those tush pushes.
There was one guy on the right

1057
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:52,520
side or the left side of the
line.

1058
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,800
No, the right side of the line
that was jumping every single

1059
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,040
time.
But he was interior.

1060
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,680
He was a guard.
So I don't think the refs were

1061
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:03,720
catching it.
I think that I and I did.

1062
00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:06,360
I haven't listened it.
Could be a reviewable play.

1063
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,640
Well, I, I, I, I've had a lot of
other things going on today, but

1064
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:11,760
I, I listen to a little sports
radio and of course it's

1065
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,440
Pittsburgh sports radio.
So they're talking about the

1066
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,520
Steelers.
I, I think they could have

1067
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,280
called it.
I think there's an argument

1068
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,720
there on the side of banning the
tush push.

1069
00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:26,480
Now I am not hold on, hold on.
I'm not.

1070
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,400
Going too far?
Hold on, I'm not in favor of

1071
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,800
banning the tush push.
I I think it's a it's a

1072
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,920
perfectly appropriate play.
What I'm saying though is for

1073
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:43,160
those who want it banned to have
what I thought was three

1074
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:48,800
straight push pushes where there
was clearly in my mind because

1075
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,120
of instant replay, but it was a
false start.

1076
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:56,560
That those who are opponents of
it could grab a hold of that and

1077
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,480
say this is not something that
the refs are able to manage,

1078
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,120
therefore it should be banned if
if they start talking about

1079
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,080
that's where they're going to.
Go change it so you can.

1080
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,200
You can you can.
You can review a false start on

1081
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:10,000
a play.
That's it.

1082
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:11,120
Yeah, I get it.
I get.

1083
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,600
It and then they go back 5 yards
and then they have the punt

1084
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,400
ball.
It makes a big difference on the

1085
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,720
4th down play.
That's the only reason, I say.

1086
00:55:17,720 --> 00:55:20,160
That I agree and and Schwaber, I
don't, you know, there's nothing

1087
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,440
you need to say.
I mean, I'm not advocating for

1088
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,720
or against.
I I picked the Eagles to win the

1089
00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:25,880
game.
Hey, I was.

1090
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,040
Right.
I mean it, it happened so fast

1091
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,960
good for the Eagles for for
doing it.

1092
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:33,920
I I wouldn't stop it if I if I
were them and I would jump off

1093
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:35,760
sides every now and then Yeah, I
don't think why not?

1094
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:36,800
It gives you an.
Advantage.

1095
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:37,960
I don't think it's.
Intentional.

1096
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,560
I think it's, I think it's just
because the guy's he amped up

1097
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,040
and he wants to get there.
Of course.

1098
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,440
How about, how about, well,
look, I mean, the guard you're

1099
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:50,520
talking about is the new right
guard, Tyler Steen, who who's

1100
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,120
filling in for Mechi Becton, who
they let walk.

1101
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,800
And Tyler Steen's a pretty good,
I call him an average offensive

1102
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,480
lineman.
He's you know, he's a former

1103
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,960
Alabama player.
They, they picked him I think in

1104
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:05,600
the third round.
So he's serviceable, but he's,

1105
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,280
you know, like he's like
confused.

1106
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,640
He's constantly looking back at
Jalen Hurts.

1107
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,440
I'm like, can you stop looking
back?

1108
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,600
Just look forward?
So I, I mean, I, I, I think that

1109
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:18,520
he, he, he might have jumped off
a couple times, but, you know,

1110
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:23,800
for the most part, I, I think,
you know, the grand majority of

1111
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:26,520
them, you know, don't include
false starts.

1112
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:27,520
Yeah.
I agree.

1113
00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:29,960
And and you know what I mean,
Here's here's the thing that I

1114
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:34,840
think, you know, bringing this
more towards our show, how about

1115
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,240
a little creativity from the
freaking Steelers?

1116
00:56:37,720 --> 00:56:40,520
How about taking?
How about taking Big Mount

1117
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,480
Washington and having him run
the Tush Bush on 4th and one?

1118
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,080
Yeah.
That would require creativity,

1119
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,400
yeah.
And probably hands that he

1120
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,320
doesn't have.
He probably can't take a snap.

1121
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,160
Well, we, we don't, we don't
know about that.

1122
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,720
OK, we.
Let's let's end our football

1123
00:56:57,720 --> 00:57:01,280
segment on this right here.
Steelers Fan 256.

1124
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,280
Let me get yeah, let me get
these comments in here.

1125
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,080
Tomlin needs to be fired
immediately, says Steeler fan

1126
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,080
256.
Hey, look, thanks for being

1127
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:09,480
here.
Steeler Fan 256.

1128
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,840
I know you're on YouTube.

1131
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,680
You can be here every Monday.
We'd love to hear everything you

1132
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,680
have to say about it.
And on top of that, Steeler 2

1133
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,040
fan 256, you're absolutely
right.

1134
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:25,880
He needs to be fired
immediately.

1135
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,920
Now we we're realists here, so
we know that's never going to

1136
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,280
happen and he's never going to
be fired.

1137
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:35,120
But thank you for for absolutely
stating the truth.

1138
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:39,240
Tomblin does need to be fired.
When was the last somebody put

1139
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:40,840
this out there?
I think it might have been Josh,

1140
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,520
Joey or or or someone of one of
the beat writers here has said

1141
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,880
when was the last time?
Seriously, when did you watch

1142
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:53,760
the Steelers football game and
say that was a well coached

1143
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,280
team?
They really had it all together.

1144
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,760
I honestly don't think I've ever
said it, except for when Bill

1145
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:02,040
Cower was their coach.
I mean, I, I can't remember the

1146
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:05,480
last time I was like, wow, they
really out coached that team.

1147
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:07,000
They should have, they should
have lost.

1148
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,640
But the coaching was so
brilliant that, that, that, that

1149
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,440
saved the game.
And it's been too long.

1150
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:17,280
And I just, I, I understand this
rule about the Steelers never

1151
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,320
firing a coach.
They need to rethink this.

1152
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:24,000
I mean, come on, it's 2025.
I'm a, I'm, I'm a

1153
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,520
traditionalist, so I, I respect
the tradition, But when it gets

1154
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:33,000
to be this bad and it was this
bad, I'm old enough to remember

1155
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,440
it was this bad when Coach Knoll
was there.

1156
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:40,040
Coach Knoll had had the smarts
to step down because he knew he

1157
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,680
didn't have it anymore.
I don't think this coach is

1158
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,080
stepping down ever.
I I agree.

1159
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:48,960
I agree.
Expunger Baby says I like

1160
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,080
Tomlin.
Ha ha.

1161
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,640
Nice.
Oh well, OK, expunger baby.

1162
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,080
I think you're.
I think this is sarcasm, but you

1163
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,600
know, we'll take it.
Yeah, so he clarifies it.

1164
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,760
He likes his personality.
He likes his personality.

1165
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,960
He.
He is entertaining in those

1166
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:05,840
those press conferences.
There's no.

1167
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:09,360
I like how I like how Pat off
track has now turned Tomlin into

1168
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,440
Tomlinson.
Yeah.

1169
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:15,440
And then and then Amy.
And then he plays this game

1170
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,200
here.
I I have no idea what he's

1171
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,640
talking about.
This is the part of the show

1172
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,440
where I think he's like 3 or 4.
Jack and Coax in so.

1173
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,040
No, maybe he's talking about
Taylor Tomlinson.

1174
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:30,200
The the, the the.
Yeah, yeah, pay auto correct.

1175
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,040
He's saying auto correct.
Jesus.

1176
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,400
I think he meant Taylor.
Tomlinson auto correct is

1177
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,920
generate is Generation X's
excuse.

1178
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,080
That's our excuse.
Everything auto correct.

1179
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,160
Let's move on.
What are we need?

1180
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,240
To do the picks, we got to pick.
Oh, we got to make our picks.

1181
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:48,200
Do the grand Schwab Beanies.
Oh, he's got, he's got to

1182
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,240
prediction.
Oh yeah, this is a pirate's

1183
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,920
prediction.
OK, get get, get the lamp out.

1184
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:56,440
Yeah, get the lamp out.
Here we go.

1185
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:58,600
All right.
So we have the lamp for you.

1186
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:00,640
We have your lamp.
OK.

1187
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:04,000
This is this is your prediction.
Now, for those of you who don't

1188
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,360
know the Grand Schwabini, he is
in touch with the universe, the

1189
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,240
sports universe.
It's all uncomfortable.

1190
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,240
You're rubbing my lamp.
I know, but it should feel.

1191
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:13,680
Good.
It should feel really good.

1192
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:18,240
It feel.
It's so shiny and gold right

1193
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:19,760
now.
The Grand Schwabini is going to

1194
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,600
make a prediction about the
pirates.

1195
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,440
And I think it's worth listening
to.

1196
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,640
And the Grant Schwabini who
speaks to this sports universe

1197
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,480
and the sports gods, they
generally give him information

1198
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,880
they won't give other people.
So while I rub this lamp, Grant

1199
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:38,680
Schwab, I'm going to now open,
and your prediction shall come

1200
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:43,440
true.
Well, we know that O'Neill Cruz

1201
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,120
has had a very topsy turvy year
to say the least.

1202
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,760
Say the least.
Some really nice home runs hit

1203
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:54,120
extremely hard.
A lot of Derby, almost.

1204
01:00:55,000 --> 01:01:00,400
But a lot of blunders.
My contention was that he's just

1205
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:06,400
not a very bright baseball
player and he's also not so

1206
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,480
talented.
He might swing a big stick but

1207
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:15,600
he is currently right now in
real time hitting two O 4.

1208
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,160
Oh, that's up.
It's up.

1209
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,000
It's up.
It was it was 200 the other day.

1210
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,280
So the the question is,
unfortunately he's not in the

1211
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,480
line up tonight, which might
actually be a good coaching

1212
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:35,960
decision, but but the question
is will O'Neill Cruz join the

1213
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:41,600
Jack Sowinski Under 200 club?
Oh, the new line, the Jack

1214
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:47,440
Sowinski line.
Grand Swabini says no.

1215
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,080
Oh, he's going to finish over
200.

1216
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:54,640
But but he is not going to break
210.

1217
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:58,840
He will be in the 2O single
digits.

1218
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,040
I was really hoping you were
going to go below the Jack

1219
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,800
Zawinski line.
I really wanted to, but he's

1220
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,880
just a little better than Jack
Zawinski, yeah.

1221
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,560
Formerly known as the Mario
Mendoza Line, for you the.

1222
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,320
Mendoza Line.
For for you old school guys.

1223
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,240
Yeah, this is now the Zawinski
line for us.

1224
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:20,680
I've been saying it since O'Neil
Cruz first came onto the scene.

1225
01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:25,720
He's not a good baseball player.
But he'll bat over 200 this

1226
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,440
year, so congratulations
O'Neill.

1227
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:32,160
And, and you know, look, the
business of baseball and sports,

1228
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:36,040
you know, if we had our, our,
our druthers, we'd release him,

1229
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,360
get rid of him, whatever.
But we know the economics and

1230
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,480
the way things are done.
It's, it's not that simple.

1231
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,920
But I don't think he belongs on
a Major League Baseball roster.

1232
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:46,960
I never did.
And at this point, he's shown me

1233
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:51,000
absolutely 0.
You know, there's lots of guys

1234
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,360
that are big and strong and try
to play Major League Baseball

1235
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,080
and they can hit the ball a
mile.

1236
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:01,960
The problem is they can hit the
ball a mile like once in a

1237
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:06,200
great, great while.
And he's one of those guys and

1238
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:08,880
he doesn't hustle in the field
and he doesn't do anything else.

1239
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,240
Here you go.
Feel the steal.

1240
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,320
Good morning.
Good evening.

1241
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:14,120
Sports.
Sports.

1242
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,400
Thank you for the gift.
So we know that he got his all.

1243
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,840

Sports Podcast every Monday
night, 7:30 PM.

1248
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,480
All right, we're going to go
talk about our picks, porch

1249
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,200
picks.
Well, what do we do every week?

1250
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:38,080
We pick three NFL games.
We pick the Thursday night game,

1251
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:42,720
the Sunday night game and a
random Sunday during the day

1252
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:44,800
game.
We keep track of the record all

1253
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,880
year long.
We started figured after all

1254
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,160
these years, there's got to be a
prize.

1255
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,880
There's either got to be a prize
or there's got to be a penalty.

1256
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:55,880
Eyes on the prize.
You know what I mean?

1257
01:03:55,880 --> 01:04:00,360
So you guys, please work on it.
It's got to be embarrassing and

1258
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,720
it's got to be in public.
OK, That's we're only we're.

1259
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,240
Only in Week 2 here so we got
lots of weeks to.

1260
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,680
Figure it down now.
So porch picks.

1261
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:10,800
Here's what we're going to talk
about.

1262
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,520
Last week we had Washington at
the Packers.

1263
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,960
I had Washington.
Stephen Mark had the Packers.

1264
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,640
We had Atlanta and Minnesota.
Steve and Chris had Minnesota.

1265
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,720
Mark had Atlanta.
We had the Eagles and Chiefs.

1266
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:28,920
Yours truly had the Eagles, Mark
and Steve had the Chiefs the

1267
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:33,040
Eagles last week I was 1 and 2,
Steve was 1 and 2, Mark was two

1268
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,440
and one.
I'm going to put our current

1269
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:43,160
records sports picks NFL 2025 TD
is. 4 an S. 4 an S You've

1270
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,280
created a new category for
yourself.

1271
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:51,040
Holy moly. 4 an s s is 4 Wow.
Get it right.

1272
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:54,760
I could never get it right.
All right, TD numbers are hard

1273
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:55,880
for you, man.
I get it.

1274
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,560
Just throw it an.
S when you think it's a 2, you

1275
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:00,760
know I get it.
It's called a variable.

1276
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:05,320
TD is four and two, HJ is 3 and
3, and so is the Grand

1277
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,680
Schwabini.
Wow, we're right on his heels,

1278
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:08,840
Mark.
We're almost there.

1279
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:13,680
Week we are picking Thursday
night Dolphins at Bills.

1280
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:15,960
We want your pick in the
comments.

1281
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:21,360
Dolphins at Bills.
I thought I wrote all this shit

1282
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:22,800
down.
Who you got there?

1283
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:24,840
Grant Schwabini.
This is easy.

1284
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:29,280
I would be very surprised if the
Bills did not come through.

1285
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,280
It will be the Bills.
It's a regular season game.

1286
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:38,240
It's not post season.
OK, Grand Swabini has the

1287
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:45,960
dolphin or the bills.
Excuse HJ your pick.

1288
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:50,200
Feel the steal, says the Bills.
Well, I have to say that I think

1289
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,040
the Dolphins will eventually win
a game.

1290
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,120
I don't think it'll be this one
in Buffalo.

1291
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:58,680
I'm going with the Bills.
I am also going to go with the

1292
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:03,400
Bills John Edberg on YouTube.
If you haven't hit the subscribe

1293

button, please do John, we'd
appreciate it.

1294
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:08,240
Every person in the same job or
leadership position gets tired

1295
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:12,480
eyes.
It's time for Mt Mike Tomlin to

1296
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,160
go.
Hey, if you have his number,

1297
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,200
send them a text and and tell
them it's time to go.

1298
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:17,200
Please.
We need that.

1299
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,800
We need to up the pressure.
Expunger baby is saying the

1300
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,480
dolphins.
I don't see them going O and

1301
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:23,200
three upset of the week.
OK, you're.

1302
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,280
Right now the.
Resident vampire is is is going

1303
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:28,240
with the van, going with the
Miami.

1304
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,240
OK, now that.
He believes into it.

1305
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:35,640
Next game up, Sunday, 4 O 5:00
PM Eastern Time.

1306
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,520
This is this right now is an
important game in this division.

1307
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,640
Cardinals at the 49ers.
Your pick in the comments.

1308
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:44,520
Grant Schwabini, what is your
pick?

1309
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,560
Cardinals at the 40.
Niners.

1310
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,120
Oh man, Purdy's not gonna be
back.

1311
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,520
Hall of Fame, I believe.
Yeah, Purdy is not gonna be

1312
01:06:55,520 --> 01:07:00,920
back.
Do you believe in the Arizona

1313
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:01,960
Cardinals?
This is who?

1314
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,360
Who is the quarterback for the
49ers?

1315
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:09,280
The backup.
They had, they had him out

1316
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:09,800
there.
He threw.

1317
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,600
Put it this way, he threw for
almost 300 yards this past week.

1318
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,800
Yeah, I'm embarrassed to say
that I can't remember.

1319
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,280
I don't.
I don't remember his name either

1320
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:20,440
honestly.
I'll look it up.

1321
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:21,840
Look it up.
Oh, OK.

1322
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,760
It's it's Mac Jones.
Mac Jones.

1323
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,080
That's right.
I was totally.

1324
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:27,680
I yeah.
I was like, Oh my God.

1325
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:28,960
Mac Jones.
Mac Jones.

1326
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,160
That's right.
Crazy, crazy, crazy.

1327
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:34,880
Dolphins at or Chiefs at Giants.
No.

1328
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:35,400
No.
We didn't.

1329
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,520
We didn't make the picture.
Cardinals at 49ers, you're

1330
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,200
picking a comment.
Listen, dude, I'm, I'm trying to

1331
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:45,480
follow all of our, all of our
viewers are leaving comments and

1332
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:47,080
I love it and I'm trying to keep
up with them.

1333
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,120
So sorry.
Guys, by the way he he went, by

1334
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,760
the way he, he had three
touchdowns, no interceptions.

1335
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:57,640
Yeah, yeah, he had a great game.
But I am going to say Mac Jones

1336
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,240
ultimately catches up with Matt
Jones.

1337
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:04,320
We'll go to the cards.
Man, this is a tough one.

1338
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,720
I, I, but you know what?
I'm just going to go with my

1339
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:07,840
gut.
I'm going to go with San

1340
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,440
Francisco.
I'm I'm not a Cardinal believer

1341
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,200
and I don't think I ever will
be.

1342
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:17,720
I'm also going with the 49ers.
I, I, yeah, I, I think the

1343
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,240
Cardinals, they, they have to
trip somewhere and this is an

1344
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:21,920
important game early in the
season.

1345
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,160
I think they.
Need not they, they're pretty

1346
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:26,640
good.
They're pretty good team.

1347
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,240
Now here we go.
Here we we have some pics, John

1348
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,399
Edberg says going back to the
previous one, Dolphins and Bills

1349
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:35,520
Rain Man McDaniel is on thin
ice.

1350
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,000
He's taking the Bills field.
Could.

1351
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,960
Be the first guy can this.
Year Yeah.

1352
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:43,680
Field the steel, says the 49ers
expunger baby says I love the

1353
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,439
vampire.
I think he's talking about

1354
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:49,960
what's his name, McDaniel, John
Edberg says Cardinals expunger

1355
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:54,319
baby 49ers John Edberg says.
Mac Jones, he was telling us

1356
01:08:54,319 --> 01:08:57,200
about that feel.
The steel's already picked the

1357
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,439
Chief, so he's one ahead of us.
Well, you threw it.

1358
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:01,399
I know I did.
I know, I know.

1359
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:03,160
Man.
Give the guy a break.

1360
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,040
He's a little.
Bit a break, Feel the steel's a

1361
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,279
little quicker than you.
Maybe.

1362
01:09:06,279 --> 01:09:07,960
Maybe once we are technical
director.

1363
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:11,160
OK, come on in.
Sunday night, Chiefs at Giants.

1364
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:14,840
Your pick in the comments.
Schwaber, what is your pick?

1365
01:09:15,279 --> 01:09:18,920
By the way, how about the Giants
finding a way to lose that game?

1366
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:21,600
I mean, come on, guys, come on.
I know 14.

1367
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:23,120
What was it?
14 seconds left?

1368
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,680
Yeah.
I mean, it's ridiculous. 2

1369
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:28,800
completions 60.
Yards And how about Russell

1370
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,040
Wilson putting up that game the
other day?

1371
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,600
I.
Mean 450 yards, yeah, I mean.

1372
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:36,120
Ridiculous.
I know, classic, all right.

1373
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:42,439
Classic Russell all in along.
I I you got to go Chiefs.

1374
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:44,800
There's no way they're going O
and three against this crappy

1375
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,399
Giants team.
There's no way I'll say Chiefs.

1376
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:51,680
Man, I really want to take the
Giants.

1377
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:53,479
I'll be honest with you, I
really do.

1378
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,720
But I think Kansas City's
defense is just enough to get

1379
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:59,720
them through.
But boy, they're Kansas City's

1380
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:01,760
offense is absolutely
struggling.

1381
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,560
They have no running game.
They have no passing game.

1382
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:08,000
They only have Patrick Mahomes.
Honestly, he's the only thing

1383
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,920
that they have going.
Do I think the Giants can shut

1384
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:12,440
him down?
I do not.

1385
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,680
I'm going with Kansas City.
Yeah, you know what, guys?

1386
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:19,240
I'm going with the Giants here.
I think they've played a couple,

1387
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:23,400
you know, a couple type games.
I think Kansas City is reeling

1388
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,640
right now.
They, they, they, it, it seems

1389
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:30,160
like their identity.
It is kind of at play here.

1390
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:33,560
Kelsey is, obviously.
I mean, if this isn't Kelsey's

1391
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,400
last year, come on now, you know
did.

1392
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,240
You see him drop that ball?
Yeah, of course you did.

1393
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:43,160
I know Mark did because he was
watching it, dropped it into the

1394
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,360
guy's hands.
He basically almost runs it back

1395
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,000
for a touchdown from the goal
line.

1396
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,160
I told you, he's too busy
thinking about those flowers and

1397
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:51,680
Taylor Swift.
And where are they going to get

1398
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:53,880
married?
Probably the Rhode Island

1399
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:57,640
complex up there.
Good for Taylor Swift.

1400
01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,480
I think she's doing good things
for football.

1401
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,440
And he's probably thinking about
how she's going to look at the

1402
01:11:01,440 --> 01:11:05,840
halftime show, too.
I don't, like I said, I I think

1403
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,840
it's another NFC East team.
I think there's a lot of tape

1404
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:12,080
out there on how the Eagles beat
Kansas City.

1405
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:14,960
There's enough out there.
If I'm Brian Dabel, I am going

1406
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:19,080
over that tape left and right
and exposing their weaknesses.

1407
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,240
And look, he's coaching for his
job basically every game.

1408
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:25,760
I don't care what anybody says,
Russell Wilson I have no faith

1409
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,760
in, but what happens with him
right now is a couple games a

1410
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:31,960
year, he pulls it out of his ass
and he throws for 450 yards.

1411
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:36,600
So I think he's got one more of
those left in him and I just

1412
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,280
don't I, I I just think the
Chiefs might end up owing 3 and

1413
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:40,840
then it's panic time in Kansas
City.

1414
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:45,880
Expunger baby Chiefs another I
don't see going O3 John Edborg

1415
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:47,960
Chiefs.
But if the Giants win, KC fans

1416
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:52,200
will be on suicide watch.
You guys don't think Kelsey can

1417
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:53,440
shake it off?
Says Pat.

1418
01:11:53,440 --> 01:11:55,960
Off track.
No, Pat, I think it's death by

1419
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,880
1000 cuts.
Your attacks at humor are

1420
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,520
well-intentioned, but really not
that great.

1421
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:03,960
I love it.
Keep it coming, Pat.

comment fellas to back up
Steeler freaks comment.

1443
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:11,280
I said in the other podcast when
2024 season ended, Steeler

1444
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:12,840
locker room needs a new
standard.

1445
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,640
Yeah, I, I, I think there's a
lot of people that feel that

1446
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:18,720
feel the way you do.
It's the old, the message is

1447
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:21,040
stale and it's getting very,
very obvious.

1448
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:24,920
Let's move on here.
The last segment of the evening,

1449
01:13:25,240 --> 01:13:28,520
something that the Grand Swabini
looks forward to all the time.

1450
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,320
It's called What We're Watching
and I'm going to let him intro

1451
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:37,720
it.
Well, folks, friends, family, we

1452
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,760
want to get back to you and this
is how we do it.

1453
01:13:41,480 --> 01:13:45,480
We know that it's really hard to
figure out what to watch next.

1454
01:13:45,480 --> 01:13:47,680
You know you you could watch
that great show and you're like

1455
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:51,040
this is awesome.
This is oh, you ever watch

1456
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:54,880
anything as good?
Well, comes a very difficult

1457
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:58,160
task at hand.
We give you your time back.

1458
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,880
You don't have to figure it out.
Just let the sports sports guys

1459
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,760
figure it out for you.
If we give you 2 thumbs up, that

1460
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,400
means it's a bomb.
Go check it out and we give you

1461
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:11,880
2 thumbs down.
It means not worth your time.

1462
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,840
Just tell your husband, your
wife, your friend, your family,

1463
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:21,000
anybody, your pet.
Tell them hey, guys at sports,

1464
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,680
sports said this one rocks or
this one don't rock.

1465
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:29,600
Chris, you want to give us the
classifications?

1466
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:32,880
The rules.
The only rule is that you have

1467
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:37,440
to finish the season that you're
currently watching or you have

1468
01:14:37,440 --> 01:14:40,720
to finish the entire movie in
order to give a review.

1469
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:44,560
If you bail on it, obviously you
thought it sucked, but you can't

1470
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,800
even give a true review because
sometimes things rebound.

1471
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:49,560
You know, you give material
shows, they rebound that that is

1472
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:51,440
true.
John Edberg on YouTube, the TD

1473
01:14:51,440 --> 01:14:53,560
has a new look.
He must be wanted by the FBI.

1474
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,320
If you only knew.
If you only knew.

1475
01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:59,040
Be careful what you wish for,
John.

1476
01:14:59,960 --> 01:15:03,480
All right.
I'm going to start with who

1477
01:15:03,480 --> 01:15:05,080
wants to go first?
Which one of you guys wants?

1478
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:06,840
To go first.
I've been dying to review this.

1479
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:11,440
I I have to go first?
All right, Hockey Jesus as watch

1480
01:15:11,440 --> 01:15:15,960
something on Netflix.
It's called Extant.

1481
01:15:16,480 --> 01:15:20,000
It is a show that has two
seasons.

1482
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,960
I only watched the first season.
It's with Halle Berry.

1483
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:27,840
And you remember that, that that
Goran Viznich, he was, he was

1484
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:32,720
one of the doctors on ER, you
know, kind of anyway, he he's

1485
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:36,240
he, he plays the role, you know,
against the Halle Berry, their,

1486
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:39,600
their husband and wife, right?
This is a sci-fi, this is a

1487
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:43,440
sci-fi series.
And I love sci-fi.

1488
01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:47,120
I love Halle Berry.
So I'm like, OK, I got to watch

1489
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,120
this.
And it was, it was in the top 10

1490
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:51,800
for a long while.
And I was like, wow, people must

1491
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,920
really like this.
So I start watching it and

1492
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:58,400
immediately I'm like, I'm on
pause.

1493
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:01,280
I'm like, OK, what is, what's
the premise of this?

1494
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:05,400
And the premise is that Halle
Berry was up in the, you know,

1495
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:09,960
the space station for, like, for
like, 5 years, OK.

1496
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,200
And she's, you know, she's an
astronaut.

1497
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:13,800
So she was up there for five
years.

1498
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,960
And when she came back, she
wasn't feeling quite right.

1499
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:19,600
Things were, you know, a little
off with her.

1500
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,560
And I guess, as it turns out,
she got pregnant up there.

1501
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:25,160
Oops.
And she was the only one up

1502
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,600
there.
Does she know how she got

1503
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,440
pregnant?
She does not, but she has like

1504
01:16:30,440 --> 01:16:33,880
flashbacks and and part of the
episodes are these flashbacks.

1505
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:36,160
Are they good flashbacks?
You know the kind.

1506
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:40,240
Of they weren't, but in the very
first in the very first episode,

1507
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:45,160
they do show good flashbacks.
No, they do show the husband and

1508
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,800
the wife in the shower.
So, you know, there you have

1509
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,880
that going for.
See, that's why I give things a

1510
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:51,880
thumbs.
Up yes, I, I and I did that.

1511
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:53,680
I did that for the technical
director.

1512
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:55,840
Thank you.
He was asking about Halle Berry

1513
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:59,800
and and, and and, you know, we
all are curious about that when

1514
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,440
we see Halle Berry.
I'm like, I'm I'm 3 inches away

1515
01:17:02,440 --> 01:17:05,080
from getting in trouble.
No jokes on the three inches,

1516
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:07,760
anyway.
Is this, is this alien sex?

1517
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,320
Is that's what's going on here?
So we don't really, I'll, I'll

1518
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:14,880
be honest with you, Mark, it's
not, she's not the only one

1519
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:19,520
who's been pregnant after being
up there as she finds out.

1520
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,800
And there's this, there's this
whole nother underlying story

1521
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:28,680
that is a group that's kind of
like knows what's going on, but

1522
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,160
they like try and hide it.
So they're like killing off

1523
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,120
people and they don't want to
kill off Halle Berry because

1524
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:38,240
supposedly, I guess what is
inside of her is very important

1525
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:41,880
for learning things.
And I have to be honest with

1526
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:45,120
you, this show really sucked
because.

1527
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:49,560
And you made it sound so good.
Yeah, I know, I know.

1528
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:51,320
I I find I thought the same
thing.

1529
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,320
I was like, OK, they're going to
bring it all together.

1530
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:55,880
First of all, they never bring
it all together.

1531
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,520
And they never really tell you
how she gets pregnant.

1532
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:03,760
And all they do is show all
these dead people like, like the

1533
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:06,960
guy who runs this underground
show, They show him with his

1534
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:09,480
daughter who died like five
years ago.

1535
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,240
And there's no connections to
anything.

1536
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,240
And you're just like, what the
hell is going on?

1537
01:18:15,440 --> 01:18:18,080
And at the end they never wrap
it up.

1538
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:19,800
You're just like.
This.

1539
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:22,360
Is the dumbest show I've ever
watched.

1540
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:27,120
And I started feeling that way
around episode 3 or 4 and it was

1541
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:30,680
like 10 or 12 episodes and I was
like, I'm not going to make it

1542
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:36,080
through this, but because I was
an unselfish watcher for you, I

1543
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:40,280
finished watching the whole
thing so that you absolutely do

1544
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,920
not watch this.
It is awful.

1545
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,040
It is terrible.
If you love sci-fi and you're

1546
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,800
looking for something, this is
not your show.

1547
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:52,080
Don't watch it now.
There is a second season.

1548
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:54,720
Yeah, that was going to be like,
look, you got to give the second

1549
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:56,280
season a whirl.
Now you have.

1550
01:18:56,360 --> 01:19:00,800
To and the other season is with
Negan from The Walking Dead.

1551
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:02,680
He gets in, he he's in it
somehow.

1552
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,640
And I love him.
Yeah, he's I love Jeffrey Dean

1553
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:09,400
of Morgan.
So I may give it just because

1554
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:11,320
he's in it.
I may try and make it through

1555
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:14,360
the 2nd.
Yeah, terrible, absolutely

1556
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:16,160
awful.
I would.

1557
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:18,520
I do not recommend you watching
this.

1558
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,560
Expunger baby says I did not
expect you to say it sucked.

1559
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,240
Feel the steal.
Think she just like to look at

1560
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:28,320
Harry Bailey, Halle Berry and
I'm I'm not going to say what he

1561
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,600
said there, just 'cause I have
respect.

1562
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,560
I mean, who?
Who?

1563
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:34,480
Doesn't.
Who doesn't feel this deal?

1564
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:38,160
Now he did recommend Dexter
Resurrection and John Edward

1565
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:41,160
followed up and said I read
Dexter resurrection was good and

1566
01:19:41,160 --> 01:19:41,880
worth a watch.
I'll do.

1567
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,240
It you're the Dexter guy.
That might be yeah.

1568
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:49,200
I love that stuff.
You're Yeah, I yeah.

1569
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:52,640
You you identify with serial
killers I.

1570
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,480
Mean, I, you know, I think they
have, they have some unresolved

1571
01:19:55,480 --> 01:19:57,440
trauma in their lives and they
really need to work on it and

1572
01:19:57,440 --> 01:19:59,600
try to get a hold of the, you
know, the issue early.

1573
01:19:59,960 --> 01:20:04,640
The Grand Schwabini has watched
something on Prime.

1574
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:08,160
John Edberg, That is a no.
There is no such Halle Berry

1575
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:12,720
scene.
Yeah, let's OK Grand Schwabini.

1576
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:14,000
Tell us.
Tell us what you're watching.

1577
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:19,920
All right, so I watch a show
called Countdown, as you can see

1578
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:23,000
on the right there, that is, I
believe his name is Eric Bain.

1579
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:26,080
He's the the guy from the last.
Ship.

1580
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:28,400
Oh yeah, I remember that.
Yep.

1581
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,600
Is it Eric Dane Dane or Bain or
something like?

1582
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:33,040
That I don't.
I don't remember his name but I

1583
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:35,960
I recognize the dude.
The girl on the left, I can't

1584
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:38,080
remember her name, but she was
in SEAL Team.

1585
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:40,000
She had a pretty significant
role in SEAL Team.

1586
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:45,760
And look, this is 13 episodes,
which is kind of cool because

1587
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:49,960
you know, sometimes when you're
watching those, you know, one

1588
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,800
year or at least first year
things that sometimes they're

1589
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:55,320
only 6 or they're 8.
So this one, like, you know,

1590
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,440
you're watching it for a while.
It's a good 13 episodes.

1591
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:02,440
It looks like it is coming back,
although it's not official just

1592
01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:08,120
yet.
And, and what this is, is, you

1593
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:13,600
know, Eric, Eric Bain is the
leader of a task force where he

1594
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:18,520
pulls people out for national
security concerns.

1595
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:22,240
So, you know, like you post
somebody from the DEA, post

1596
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:27,200
somebody who's with the NYPD, he
pulls somebody, you know, who's

1597
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,360
with the CIA.
You know, he kind of pulls a

1598
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,920
super dream team task force
together and gets them to work

1599
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:38,200
together to solve, you know, an
impending terrorist threat,

1600
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:41,440
right?
And look, I mean, look it, it's

1601
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:46,320
is it anything special?
No, it's not special, but it's,

1602
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:50,480
you know, purely 100%
entertaining.

1603
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:55,280
The way I sort of look at it is
you watch it and you realize at

1604
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,000
the end of the show, you never
looked at your watch once,

1605
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,760
right?
You never looked at, you never

1606
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:03,880
looked down at your cell phone
to, you know, see what the score

1607
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:07,520
was of some other game going on.
I was doing that a lot.

1608
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:11,240
Yeah, it was your look, It's
it's just fun.

1609
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:15,440
It's just fun and, you know,
good acting and I think you'll

1610
01:22:15,440 --> 01:22:17,240
enjoy it.
I mean, I give it a A2 thumbs

1611
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:18,920
up.
But you know, look, it's nothing

1612
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,200
earth shattering.
It's nothing, you know, extra

1613
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:23,200
phenomenal.
But if you just want to watch

1614
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,080
something that's going to be fun
and you're going to be

1615
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:29,600
entertained, it's worth a watch.
Eric Dane, by the way, also in

1616
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:31,080
ER.
There you go.

1617
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:32,200
Oh, is that right?
Interesting.

1618
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:38,360
All right, the Grand Schwabini
gives countdown on prime.

1619
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,040
Couple thumbs up.
Entertaining.

1620
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:45,400
I want something called Smoke on
Apple TV.

1621
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:47,120
Have you guys seen this at all?
I have not.

1622
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:51,640
OK.
So it says new series June 27th,

1623
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:54,120
but you know, obviously.
It is the new series.

1624
01:22:54,320 --> 01:23:00,240
It, it, it's all out there.
I, I got to tell you, it's I, I

1625
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:02,000
really liked it.
I really, I'm just going to say

1626
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:03,760
it right up front.
I'm not going to pull the wool

1627
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:05,280
over your eyes and then tell you
it sucked.

1628
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:11,600
Taron Edgerton who's that?
Journey Smollett.

1629
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:18,280
It's basically about a couple
serial arsonists that are

1630
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:21,160
operating in I, I, I want to say
Chicago.

1631
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:23,200
I can't remember, it's either
New York or Chicago, but.

1632
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:27,880
And Taron Edgerton is a
firefighter who is now become an

1633
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:32,200
arson investigator.
Journey Smollett is a cop who's

1634
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:36,120
kind of on her last legs with
the force because she's kind of,

1635
01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:40,040
she's a former, I think she's a
former, not special forces, but

1636
01:23:40,480 --> 01:23:44,400
Marine in the Armed Services
somehow now she's a detective

1637
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:48,080
and she's kind of a, she kind
of, she's kind of out there.

1638
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,040
She kind of, she's kind of like
plays a hero a little too much.

1639
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,880
But they kind of put her on him
because he's having trouble

1640
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:58,840
finding these serial arsonists.
And so they go out and, and I

1641
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:03,080
haven't seen a show that gets
really intricate with arsonists

1642
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:06,800
and, and that as good 'cause
obviously people die in some of

1643
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:07,640
these.
Yeah, murder.

1644
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:09,280
Yeah, a lot of murder.
A lot of.

1645
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:13,840
Drugs, right?
So what I'm not going to do is

1646
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:18,000
give you, pardon me and ending
this long drawn out explanation

1647
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,800
of what happens.
They get paired together.

1648
01:24:20,800 --> 01:24:22,720
They're looking for these serial
arsonists.

1649
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:26,600
There's some twists in it.
They keep you guessing.

1650
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,240
They keep you guessing part of
the way through, you know,

1651
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:31,440
episode.
Probably.

1652
01:24:31,440 --> 01:24:33,880
Did they start the fire?
Didn't they start the fire?

1653
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:35,440
Did they start the fire?
Didn't they?

1654
01:24:35,440 --> 01:24:36,480
Start the fire?
No, not.

1655
01:24:36,480 --> 01:24:39,320
Why are they starting?
Part part of the way through

1656
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,520
episode.
Like the fire or did she start

1657
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:44,360
the fire?
We didn't start the fire, OK.

1658
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:47,400
So this is for those of you who
are new to the show.

1659
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:50,400
This is normal.
I don't get offended by it.

1660
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:55,400
I just let these guys talk and
you know, hopefully something

1661
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:59,560
funny comes out of their mouth.
So it does.

1662
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:02,000
John Edberg is saying I will
make a list for the offseason

1663
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,560
when I'm bored to death.
That's exactly what you, we want

1664
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:05,840
you to do.
We don't want to waste your

1665
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:07,400
time.
Don't waste your time on the

1666
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:09,640
offseason being bored.
Listen to what we say.

1667
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:14,200
So smoke on Apple TV, there's a
twist in it about episode 2 or 3

1668
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,920
in, but even though the twist is
there and you kind of see it, it

1669
01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:19,680
keeps you on the edge of your
seat because you're like, I'm

1670
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:21,840
not sure.
I'm just not sure.

1671
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:28,080
So smoke on Apple TV, that is
absolutely A2 thumbs up.

1672
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:32,040
There is going to be another
season from what I understand so

1673
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,840
I I sure as hell hope so because
they did not resolve it in

1674
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:36,680
season 1.
Yeah, I hate that.

1675
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,560
Yeah.
So that's what my.

1676
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:41,520
Sources.
That's what my sources, that's

1677
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:44,600
what my sources are telling me.
And I just want to, I want to

1678
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:50,000
thank you all for listening.
Listen, pause.

1679
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:52,200
Listen to that.
Wow, it's.

1680
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:54,720
Incredible.
Thing this week.

1681
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:56,120
We love it.
I love it.

1682
01:25:57,320 --> 01:25:58,200
It's so.
Fun.

1683
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:02,640
We definitely need the laugh
track.

1684
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:05,200
This is the show.
This is definitely, this is

1685
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:07,440
actually how I feel.
Before we begin, if you notice,

1686
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:09,360
Schwaber isn't in the studio
tonight.

1687
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:13,040
Usually before the show, you
know, we come, we plan the show,

1688
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,640
we sit down in the studio.
Most of the time these guys are

1689
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:19,400
brutally attacking me, making me
feel so small and insignificant,

1690
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:25,640
and this is how I feel.
By the way, do we that?

1691
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:29,280
That was dumb.
Do you have a, do you have a

1692
01:26:29,440 --> 01:26:31,760
like that kind of party to to
throw up right now?

1693
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:35,960
I I I might have to find it, Do
you mind if I go through it real

1694
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:37,200
quick?
No.

1695
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,480
Yeah, I don't even see it,
actually.

1696
01:26:40,480 --> 01:26:43,240
No, it's not.
You don't even know I stay or

1697
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:46,200
should I go?
Should I stay or should I go?

1698
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:48,640
That's all I was.
Yeah, you just.

1699
01:26:49,480 --> 01:26:51,280
Blew out.
Everybody needs ears on that.

1700
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:55,400
What else is new?
Technical director can't find

1701
01:26:55,440 --> 01:26:57,520
the feature.
There it is.

1702
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:00,240
Feel the steel Steelers Sports.
Sports.

1703
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:03,720
Thank you, John Edwards.
Some of the smartest people have

1704
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:06,360
the shortest attention span.
You're absolutely correct.

1705
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:08,560
That is true.
Listen guys, I want to thank you
