STEELERS v PACKERS POST GAME

1
00:00:01,640 --> 00:00:07,560
This is the Sports Porch Black
and Gold with your hosts, the

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:14,160
technical director, the Grand
Schwabini and Hockey Jesus.

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,800
Come on Pittsburgh, let's show a
little.

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,360
Steelers, Penguins and Pirates
love The sports Porch.

5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:29,760
Black and Gold starts now.
The sports porch.

6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,840
Black and gold starts now.
Yes, welcome to the sports

7
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,360
porch.
It is the Steelers post game

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,480
show.
Unfortunately, if you watch the

9
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:45,040
promos, you saw that I said we
would either celebrate with

10
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,880
tears of joy.
Oh boy.

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,120
Or tears of sorrow, which of
course wouldn't be a

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,280
celebration.
But I'm the technical director.

13
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,440
Right here is Hockey Jesus.
Right there is the Grand Swabini

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,560
as promised, postgame show.
I, I got a feeling we're going

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,760
to talk about the same things.
I mean, I don't know if there's

16
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,680
anything new, but the first
thing I want to do is thank you

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,040
for watching on YouTube or on X
at the sports podcast is where

18
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,600
you can subscribe.
We are live every Monday night

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,840
at 7:00 PM.
So we'll be back tomorrow night,

20
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,840
7:00 PM Eastern Time.
We're doing Steeler post game

21
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,240
shows.
We gotta let, we gotta let

22
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,440
hockey Jesus, who is the yenser
and, and and a very emotional

23
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,280
yenser at that Grand Schwabini.
Vent, vent senor.

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,520
Yeah.
Well, I mean, there's really

25
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,680
nothing to vent about.
It's the same old story when the

26
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,400
Steelers, when the Steelers get
behind the sticks, when they

27
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,840
have a negative play, they don't
know what to do and they can't

28
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,840
do anything.
So what do they do?

29
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,360
They they punt the ball.
That's what ends up happening

30
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,800
every God damn time.
They get the ball and they get

31
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,640
behind the sticks.
I mean, I just, I just mapped

32
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,800
out all 12 of their drives
tonight.

33
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,720
Every single field goal that
they kicked was because of a

34
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,480
penalty and a legal shift,
negative run on 1st down.

35
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,520
There was only one where it was
a third and three when they made

36
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,120
that long pass to DK where they
tried to go for the touchdown

37
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,000
instead of just getting the
first down.

38
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,800
Because you know what, they're
happy with field goals.

39
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,480
And and that's what that's what
it does.

40
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,760
When you're happy with field
goals against good teams, it's

41
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,560
going to come back to bite you
in the ass.

42
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,760
And that's absolutely what
happened tonight.

43
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,160
A better team kicked our ass,
and that's really what it comes

44
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,000
down to it.
OK, well, that's been the show.

45
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,160
We'll see you next week.
No, I I, I, I agree.

46
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,760
I, I agree.
You know, there's only things,

47
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,640
there's, there's nothing to
disagree with you on that.

48
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:00,040
There's only things to add to
it, like.

49
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,240
Like the defense is horrible.
Like Patrick Queen looks like

50
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:09,880
he's been in the league for 14
years and finally lost his step.

51
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,440
I know.
And he's still really young, you

52
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,280
know what I mean?
Like.

53
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,640
I mean like, did you, did TJ
Watt or High Smith do anything

54
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:21,520
tonight?
High Smith.

55
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,560
There were a few.
No, there were no sacks.

56
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,760
No, the answer to your question
is no, Yeah.

57
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,520
The answer is no.
There were a few plays where I

58
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,800
watched.
I specifically keyed in on High

59
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,680
Smith and he was getting his ass
kicked.

60
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,360
I mean, no doubt about it.
He was getting his ass kicked.

61
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,000
And Watt, I, we were texting
this week guys and I and I said

62
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,120
to you guys, I I just feel like
Watt has lost that step.

63
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,280
He is over that Cliff.
That doesn't mean he doesn't

64
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,000
have a splash play or, you know,
a great game left in him.

65
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,800
He does, but but it's not going
to be in a consistent level.

66
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,960
And you know, this is just the D
we're talking about.

67
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,920
I'm going to throw this in there
and Chris Collinsworth, who I

68
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,480
know HJUC as as as like a a
father figure to you.

69
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,200
No, he.
Doesn't I know, but Chris

70
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,880
annoying.
He's so annoying.

71
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,320
He is, I agree he is.
But Chris, but he knows

72
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,120
football.
I mean, he's just like he knows

73
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,360
football, obviously.
But Chris Collinsworth said near

74
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,840
the end of the end of the game
that the the Steelers need a

75
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:33,520
number 2 wide receiver.
And I know everybody's focused

76
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,080
on, well, it's a tight, a tight
end based, you know, running

77
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,440
based offense.
I know.

78
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,520
But there's no threat.
There's no other threat.

79
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,520
They need.
So much more than a second wide.

80
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,080
Yeah, it.
Wasn't it?

81
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,440
Wasn't it?
Wasn't.

82
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,280
Something to say.
That's the dumbest thing any

83
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:54,520
announcer could say.
No, no, no, no, no.

84
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,480
And it just shows his
credentials.

85
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,520
Yeah, see, this is the thing
about Steve.

86
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,800
He he gets.
Dude, how how, how can you how

87
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:09,080
can how can you let Kraft run?
Just catch the ball like he's

88
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,480
Jamar Chase on us.
Explain that.

89
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,560
Why don't we find a way to stop
a damn tight end?

90
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,360
Then you wouldn't need a second
wide receiver.

91
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,000
Well, it's because he got plenty
of other weapons.

92
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:24,440
Jalen Warren was great again
tonight and and the reality is

93
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,720
they got to find a way for that
defense to do something to stop

94
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,120
one guy.
It's always one fucking guy and

95
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,440
that's it.
Tonight it was Kraft.

96
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,840
Last week it was Chase.
Next week, who's it going to be?

97
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,120
I don't know.
Probably.

98
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,680
Probably Tyler Warren.
They're tight end, you know.

99
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,080
Well, now, no.
Today was National Tight Ends

100
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,040
Day.
Next Sunday, they're going.

101
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,640
To make a holiday.
Right.

102
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,080
I know next Sunday they're going
to make it like national WR 2

103
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,560
day.
So then Calvin Austin will get

104
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,960
all the throws.
Yeah, I, I don't know.

105
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:02,120
I, I agree.
They they, they do not have a

106
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:07,440
defensive scheme that works.
And Cam Hayward is nowhere to be

107
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,000
seen.
TJ Watt is nowhere to be seen.

108
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,320
Their, their inside linebackers
can't run with those tight ends.

109
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,080
They can't even tackle them.
Green Bay, I don't know what the

110
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,480
stats are.
I don't know if you want to look

111
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,480
them up.
HJ What?

112
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,160
What?
What did Green Bay rush for?

113
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,280
I don't.
Know, but all I know is.

114
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:28,840
Not a lot.
That's what I'm saying 3. 160

115
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:33,720
yards, three tight ends, 20 plus
completions and eight of them

116
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,560
were the Tyler craft.
Yeah, and and that's that's

117
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,280
exactly what I'm talking about.
Everybody was worried about the

118
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:42,640
rushing game and the rushing D
and they picked us apart.

119
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,760
Yeah, this I think the stat on
Tyler Craft. 94 yards rushing.

120
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,200
He said.
So that wasn't, that's not,

121
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,200
that's not shitty.
Go go ahead, Schwaber.

122
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,640
Well with Tyler Kraft didn't
didn't they say that he had like

123
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:01,600
the most catches or yards by a
tight end this season in this

124
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,720
game?
Oh yeah.

125
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,240
So, so basically they, they just
made him like the best tight end

126
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,240
performance in the league this
year.

127
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720
You know what I mean?
Now the now the run, the run

128
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,920
defense actually wasn't too bad.
It was more like they were

129
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,640
getting a run on later in the
game when the game was pretty

130
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,200
much out of hand and they were
just kind of, you know, piling

131
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,080
on some yards to run out the
clock.

132
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,360
So they actually did a pretty
decent job of stopping the run.

133
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,640
But you know, it's, it's, it's
that secondary and you know, it,

134
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,000
it, it just took one play.
It was that it was that one play

135
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,480
when it looked like they were
going to sack Jordan Love and he

136
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:48,200
threw the ball up and the tight
end actually did push off on on

137
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,960
the corner.
But you know, you're not going

138
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,120
to get that called very often.
And he made kind of like this

139
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,960
great catch and went for like 39
yards.

140
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,120
And like, it seemed like after
that happened, just the

141
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,600
floodgates opened up.
Right, so Ron Owens is with us

142
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,160
on YouTube.
Ron, thanks for being here.

are also live every Monday night
at 7:00 PM Eastern Time talking

146
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,400
about all kinds of things,
mostly sports, but there's a lot

147
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,960
of other stuff in there I think
you'll enjoy.

148
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,320
So Ron says bottom 5 defense and
below average offense.

149
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,000
I think we can all agree with
that.

150
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,240
Tomlin is happy, happy, happy
'cause he knows the Rooneys will

151
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,400
never fire him.
And I don't, I don't think

152
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,840
Tomlin's happy.
But that is reality.

153
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,400
Ron, they will never fire him.
He's got a job for life.

154
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,520
He's going to have to quit
before he gets fired.

155
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,280
And I tell you what, after after
what he put on the field

156
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,840
tonight, he should be absolutely
embarrassed about this team and

157
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,040
he should just quit on the spot.
Those are some strong words.

158
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,320
HJ But I I I can't say listen, I
think a lot of people are going

159
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,960
to agree with you.
I the.

160
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,240
Performance on the field was
almost as bad as the way those

161
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,840
uniforms looked.
Those uniforms were ridiculous.

162
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,600
Aren't they the most ugly things
you've ever seen?

163
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,280
Like, come on, if you're going
to have a throwback uniform, can

164
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,600
you do something that least
matches?

165
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,440
Like, OK, I know you want to, I
know you want to go to the

166
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,720
throwback pants with the brown,
but can't you make it like a

167
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,760
little bit darker brown instead
of making it look like you got

168
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,520
three different shades to yellow
on?

169
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,800
That's what we were tonight.
Yellow Belly.

170
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,200
They would, they were the
perfect uniforms for what

171
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,120
happened tonight because they
had no push in them.

172
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,400
These are not Pittsburgh
Steelers out there.

173
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,760
You're watching, you're watching
a facsimile of a Steeler.

174
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,640
What happened tonight is is
ridiculous.

175
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,320
And Tomlin's got to be held
accountable for it.

176
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,400
I.
Said to Amy.

177
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,120
I said, what color are those
pants?

178
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,920
I'm like, are they khaki?
She's like, no, I think they're

179
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,840
oatmeal.
Brown sugar oatmeal.

180
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,680
Yeah, I do like the matrix
reference there.

181
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:01,080
HJ.
This is a facsimile of the

182
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,040
Steelers of what they used to
be.

183
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,680
Yeah, it it it's an embarrassing
team.

184
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,680
And you know, as Amy says she
rightfully point brightly points

185
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:14,560
out, Tomlin never has an answer
once behind he well.

186
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,760
You you want to know what's
actually more embarrassing?

187
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,520
Yeah, please tell me.
It's the division.

188
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,920
Yeah, that's true.
If the division wasn't more

189
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,360
embarrassing, we wouldn't be in
first place.

190
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,760
So we're we're in first place of
the most embarrassing division

191
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,680
in the NFLI mean.
It's so ridiculous.

192
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,200
It's so ridiculous.
Yeah, yeah, Ron Owen says.

193
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,440
HJ is right.
There is no accountability.

194
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,040
So, you know, blame balls, your
comments, blame balls your

195
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,000
comments.

209
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,720
I, I, we want to know what you
think about this loss.

210
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,800
I mean, it is this loss more
embarrassing than last week's

211
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,680
loss.
And, and now let's let's, I, I

212
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,960
mean, personally, I think it is
because it's a follow up of a

213
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,440
really embarrassing loss with
another embarrassing loss.

214
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,240
But when you put them next to
each other and forget about, you

215
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,640
know, the timing of it.
Is this week's loss more

216
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,200
embarrassing than last week's
Schwaber?

217
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,400
No, because the Green Bay
Packers are a better team than

218
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,280
the Steelers, so one could
expect that they might lose this

219
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,480
game.
Whereas last week, you know, it

220
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,720
was kind of a division game.
They're always close, you always

221
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,280
throw out the records and it was
the last second field goal.

222
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,200
Yeah, I the only thing I'll say
that maybe would push you

223
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,160
towards saying it is more
embarrassing is because it

224
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,800
happened, you know, in a
national crowd at home where

225
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,480
supposedly, you know, the
Steelers shine a little bit.

226
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,760
But you're all right.
The the Green Bay Packers are

227
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,840
are a very good team.
They're a Super Bowl contending

228
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,040
team now with Michael Parsons on
that team and the fact that they

229
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,800
tied the Dallas Cowboys.
And who did they lose to?

230
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,520
They, they lost to like like the
the Houston Texans or somebody.

231
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,960
Like somebody.
So I mean, you know that, but

232
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,480
this team is getting it
together.

233
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,280
They're really well coached
team.

234
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,720
Look, they were down.
They were down by what, 9 points

235
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,120
at half?
Time.

236
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,920
Yeah, To be honest, I I thought
I thought the Steelers were

237
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,080
likely going to win the game at
halftime.

238
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,360
That just goes to show you how
badly out coached they were,

239
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:08,960
winning the game at by 9 points
at halftime and losing the game

240
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,480
by 10 points at the end of the
game.

241
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,200
That's that's just unacceptable.
That's just unacceptable.

242
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,200
Mr. Tommy 4 game losing streak
incoming Mr. Tommy, you should

243
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,400
be right, Mr. Tommy.
Chris Chotta always with us.

244
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,240
Thank you.
Chris.

245
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,600
Do you think this season has
gotten progressively worse or

246
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,040
has it been the same middling
performance every week?

247
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,120
I I'm going to say I think it's
gotten progressively worse.

248
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,280
I think the defense is, is
sliding downhill.

249
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,000
Not that they were that good to
begin with, but I, I don't see

250
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,560
anything that makes me think
that somebody's going to get

251
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:45,360
this, something's going to
happen here that's going to

252
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,840
really change the trajectory of
how they play.

253
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,080
I feel some acid reflux in my
throat so if I happen to throw

254
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:59,400
up just ignore it OK?
Well, I mean, you know.

255
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,520
I'm not.
I'm not lying.

256
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:03,280
I know you're not.
You know, as the voice of

257
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,840
reason, let me, let me let me
bring you back here.

258
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:14,440
You know the, the, the reality
is, is that this is what a nine

259
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,560
and 8:10 and 7-8 and nine type
team does.

260
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,920
You know they.
They they lose to to better

261
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,560
teams and, you know, they maybe
might win one or two more than

262
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,360
they lose against the rest of
the league.

263
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,560
So look, they're still on track
to to potentially be a playoff

264
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,160
team.
It's gotten a little tighter

265
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,720
now, now that now that the
Ravens are getting.

266
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,200
Are are two and five right?
Yeah, but they get Lamar Jackson

267
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,280
back and they don't play a team
with a winning record.

268
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,800
Well, are are, are they getting
Lamar Jackson back?

269
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,640
He was supposed to play this
week and didn't.

270
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,480
I mean, who knows, his injury
might be even longer term than

271
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,800
we think.
Well, no, they were talking

272
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,600
today like he's back next week.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

273
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,360
They were talking this week like
he was going to be back this

274
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,720
week too.
Yeah, well, I mean, look, this

275
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,080
is Steelers, but either way,
screw, screw well.

276
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,160
Either either, either, either
way they're playing some soft

277
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,720
ass teams.
And we're playing.

278
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,120
We're playing against some some
playoff power, so it's like our

279
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,080
schedules are inverted the next
4.

280
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,040
Games So but but one thing I'll
say that, you know, the thing

281
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:28,120
that kind of irritates me about
the Steelers is that I hate, I

282
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,760
hate the philosophy, you know,
the the you know, the the

283
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,000
kicking of the field goals, you
know, can we just for once take

284
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,400
a chance?
Well, they but they they did,

285
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,240
but they do it on the dumbest
downs, like third and three is

286
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,760
not a time to throw at 35 yards
to DK Metcalf.

287
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,600
I know he's I know he's he, he
was open and the guy made a

288
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,200
great defensive play on it.
But the reality is that's not

289
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,040
the right time to do it.
You know, and they did some

290
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,760
splash plays on offense, but
there were just no splash plays

291
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,960
on defense.
I'm I'm sorry, but I got to go

292
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,200
back to the defense.
It is not an elite defense.

293
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:14,520
It's not even a top 50% defense.
It's a bottom 5% defense.

294
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,240
And and DD on YouTube who's here
says elite defense my ass.

295
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,080
Yes.
You're not going to hear us

296
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,480
saying it's an elite defense.
We can guarantee that.

297
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:28,200
And champ 10/17 we suck yeah I
mean it's starting to at least

298
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,800
the defense sucks.
So thanks for being here on

00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,400
YouTube guys.

Actually, we got a lot of angry
comments coming in right now.

306
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,880
John Edborg on YouTube.
Nothing like the Steelers

307
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,280
planting seeds of doubt with me.
Uncertainty is their best gig.

308
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,160
I don't think anybody could say
that, to be honest with you.

309
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,200
Jane.
Jane Jane on YouTube Get rid of

310
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,240
the coach.
This relationship has been too

311
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,240
long together.
Steelers and Tomlins.

312
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:11,680
Tomlin need to depart Randy or
Champ on a wait click the wrong

313
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,040
one.
Sorry Randy Wolbert.

314
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,319
There's no meaningful game plan
on defense.

315
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,720
It's the same plan every game
with no in game adjustments and

316
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,359
it's all on Tomlin.
I know they won't fire his sorry

317
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,240
ass but it's all on him.
I mean.

318
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:30,320
That is true.
Like when when's the last time

319
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,960
that you looked at the Steelers
defense and said, oh, there's TJ

320
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,360
Watt lined up over center or
just something different?

321
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,400
Or wow, they're rolling up the
cornerbacks.

322
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,640
They're they're not going to let
them take that 5 yard out.

323
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,280
They're they're not going to let
them have that 1.3 second pass

324
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,720
because they're rolling it up.
They're going to make them throw

325
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,720
it deep.
Like would you rather like take

326
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,120
the chances on them throwing
them deep when they make 20

327
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:00,280
completions in a row and and
you're just letting them do it

328
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,480
time after time after time.
It would be one thing if they

329
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,800
could tackle.
This team can't even tackle.

330
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,240
And then on top of that, you
lose Desean Elliott.

331
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,240
I mean, on top, on top of
everything else.

332
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,640
So I mean, this team's in in in
total freefall if they can't get

333
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,760
that defensive line to get to
the quarterback and if they

334
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,880
don't make some defensive
adjustments, boy, I hate to see

335
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,160
what Indianapolis who scores.
Indianapolis already scores 30

336
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,640
points a game.
What are they going to do, score

337
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,840
60 against us?
I mean, I mean, that's I mean,

338
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,640
that's and then you got the
Chargers after that, then you

339
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,880
got to play the Bengals again.
Oh, boy.

340
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,200
I'm telling you, it's like if if
you're a Steeler fan, which we

341
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:51,000
are, it's a worrisome time.
It's very worrisome because you

342
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,160
have no confidence that this
team knows what it's doing to be

343
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,920
able to stop anything.
Yeah, nothing.

344
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,800
And I and I got nothing for
that.

345
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,240
Well, and the other thing too is
like, I mean, obviously like

346
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,360
Lafleur is, is a good coach.
You could just see how you know

347
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:14,120
that the the players are on
offense for Green Bay.

348
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:16,120
They're just schemed to get
open.

349
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,560
You know, none of these guys are
like wide receiver ones or

350
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,640
anything.
You know, they're all, they're

351
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,240
all kind of like middling guys,
you know?

352
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,320
And now it seems like they've
created maybe a Pro Bowl tight

353
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,960
end out of nowhere, you know
what I mean?

354
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,000
And these guys get schemed open.
I mean, like when these guys are

355
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,480
getting hit with a, with a pass,
it's like they're open by like 3

356
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,240
yards.
Nobody's near them.

357
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,280
Well, and that's the thing like
you, you don't mind, you don't

358
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,600
mind Craft catching the ball 7
times, but 143 yards, a 59

359
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,320
yarder on top of that.
I mean that what that touchdown

360
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,840
that was basically the dagger
and the Steelers back was, you

361
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,160
know what, 25 yards or something
like that and he ran and he ran

362
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,440
20 of them.
I mean, there's just no

363
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,960
defensive scheme that stop that
stuff.

364
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,280
And it just boggles my mind that
as a defensive coordinator, you

365
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,240
would look at that and be like,
well, we'll make the tackle next

366
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,760
time.
There is no next time.

367
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,240
Every time the next time comes
up, they're they're running

368
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,240
somebody over.
And the other thing is they just

369
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,880
got totally undisciplined in the
fourth quarter.

370
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,480
Once they knew it was over, they
turned in a bunch of thugs out

371
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,640
there.
They just start getting, you

372
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,320
know, roughing penalties and
they start pushing each other,

373
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,760
pushing the other team.
It's like that's not even class

374
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,800
there.
There's no not even a class

375
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,080
class in this in this team.
Like Tomlin should be absolutely

376
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,400
ashamed of what's going on.
And he will take, he will take

377
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:51,240
none of the blame and he will
take absolutely no, he'll take

378
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,320
no responsibility for this.
And that's what really bugs me

379
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,480
because everybody knows that
that's what's got to happen.

380
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,960
Something's got to happen with
Tomlin and it's got to happen

381
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,800
soon, but it's never going to
happen.

382
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,080
So how how do you how do you
think, how much longer do you

383
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,200
think Steelers fans are going to
hold on to the charade of well,

384
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,120
we're at the top of the we're
we're top of the division.

385
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:16,880
So you know, everything's going
to be just fine.

386
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:20,560
Everything is not fine.
Everything is far from fine.

387
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,920
You know what's fine?
Our offense, Aaron Rodgers is

388
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,360
fine.
He does just fine with what he

389
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:29,080
has to do.
And you can tell even when he's

390
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,120
running the offense like he gets
really, he gets really upset

391
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:35,760
because he's like, come on, get
the damn play in.

392
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,120
Let's go.
I want to get to the line so I

393
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:40,760
can see what's going on.
You can see him, he gets so

394
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,600
frustrated and and I think
that's just shows you how

395
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,440
terrible the Steelers
organization as.

396
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,240
Well, yeah, I can.
I can, I can.

397
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,920
I want to say this one thing
just because it relates to

398
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,240
Steve.
I mean, I, I, you know, every

399
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,120
game Aaron Rodgers is pissed off
at somebody on, on the offense,

400
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,240
you know, two or three times a
game.

401
00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:06,080
And most of that is somebody's
not doing the right thing, You

402
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,280
know, So it like, again, that
just goes back to being poorly

403
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,040
coached.
Nobody knows what they're

404
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,960
supposed to be doing.
I mean, not, not nobody, but

405
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,440
there's always somebody, you
know.

406
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,840
I have to just chime in here and
say what?

407
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,840
What is fine are the wings that
I had from Caliente Pizza and

408
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:28,560
Drafthouse right around
halftime, took about 55 minutes

409
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,280
for them to get here because
DoorDash was swamped.

410
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:35,600
But I do love those wings and I
just wanted to give a shout out

411
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,720
to them because, you know, maybe
they'll give a shout out back.

412
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,920
And if you're watching on
YouTube, you could help us by

413
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,480
hitting that subscribe button.
And we got a lot of people

414
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,440
watching there now.
We got a lot of comments coming

415
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,640
in.
You can see them on the side of

416
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,600
the screen.
What do you feel?

417
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,960
How you feeling about this?
Is this it is this the year is

418
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,000
the year over?
You know, there's there's some

419
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,760
people are going to say this.
I mean I'm I'm just telling you

420
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,520
right now.
I mean Karth says this was a

421
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,200
piss poor showing by the
defense.

422
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,840
Haven't seen them play this bad
since last week.

423
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,040
It's not a good sign, right,
right, right.

424
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,200
If that's.
Right, but we understand what

425
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,560
you're.
Saying Karth, Aaron Rodgers, I

426
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,840
feel like that every week to be
honest with you lately, Aaron

427
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,000
Rodgers starting to look like
he's going to retire mid season

428
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,400
on the sidelines.
Listen, I, I, I, I, I got to

429
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,120
tell you there, there were a
couple shots of Rodgers on the

430
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:26,240
sidelines, not the ones where he
was, you know, getting a little

431
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,040
mad and trying to fire, fire
people up, being like you, you

432
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,120
know, whatever.
A couple of them where I, I

433
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:36,680
thought his eyes said like, oh
boy, you know, like not, not

434
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,480
like I'm done or anything like
that.

435
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,120
I don't think that but but they
were like, oh, you know, kind of

436
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:46,320
a realization that like, I know
we just scored, but our defense

437
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,280
isn't going to hold these guys,
you know.

438
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,920
Well, he's he's a.
Competitor and losing sucks.

439
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:54,080
Yeah, yeah, maybe we need to
feed those wings to the team.

440
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,880
I'll, I'll tell you what, Karth,
they they could use a protein

441
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,160
shake.
No jokes off of that, please.

442
00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:05,240
Hey, look, this is what you get
on the sports porch.

Nothing is off limits.
We're not beholden to any large

446
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,280
corporation where three guys,
we've been doing this together

447
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,920

seven on a podcast now on a

448

video cast.

Hockey Jesus right up here.

451
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,280
He does.
He does Pens games after every

452
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,600
single Pens game.
Hockey Jesus preaches on the

453
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:37,160
podcast and Ojasan the wise
sounds like a gaming handle.

454
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,360
Ojasan the wise.
Maybe the streak for Tomlin

455
00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:42,600
finally ends.
The defense is trash.

456
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,160
I'm not going to, you know, that
streak for Tomlin is something

457
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:52,000
that I'm, I'm not ready to say
that's going to end, but I I'm

458
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,160
sure as hell.
The streak is The streak is

459
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,360
irrelevant in in all reality.
Well, it's not to it's not to

460
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:00,720
Tomlin.
He'll say it is.

461
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,280
No, let's face it, he he he
thinks it is.

462
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,920
And I would love to see what
would happen if that streak does

463
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,120
end this year.
Honestly, at this point, I would

464
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:14,160
I would prefer it, but I don't
know.

465
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,120
I mean, maybe we're just
overreacting because, you know,

466
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,000
we played a really good team and
and I.

467
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,880
Don't think so.
We got we got out coached, we

468
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,400
got outplayed and we got
outscored.

469
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,960
It's kind of like Survivor if
you think about it.

470
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:33,040
No survivor.
References, but we're not going

471
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,480
to be the last.
Try the last person on this.

472
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,720
Try.
OK, DD, I'm I'm going to I'm

473
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,080
going to speak to you in plain
English now.

474
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,600
OK, So is this defense elite?
And if they are, what does that

475
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:49,280
say about Tomlin and Austin?
OK, listen, man, the defense is

476
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,920
not elite.
I don't think anybody thinks

477
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,520
that anymore.
I know you don't think that.

478
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,120
In spite of what the players
said, I don't think they're

479
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:02,400
saying that anymore.
If I'm a if I'm, if I'm one of

480
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,440
the Steelers defensive players
that's out there in the media

481
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,880
more often than not, you know
who I'm talking about.

482
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,320
I'm not saying anything about
elite.

483
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,760
I'm not using that word.
I'm not even going to say I have

484
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,480
an elite dentist.
You ought to go see him.

485
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,160
He whitens teeth really good.
I'm not even using that word.

486
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:23,480
So you can, you know, you can
hop off that bandwagon.

487
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,120
You can hop on our bandwagon
though, but you can hop off that

488
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:27,680
bandwagon.
I don't think anybody thinks

489
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,040
they're elite, right guys?
I mean, I'm, I think I'm

490
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,120
speaking for all of us.
Here, nobody does.

491
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,240
No, but I gotta say, Uncle Rico
here says he feels like the

492
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,440
offense leaves too many points
off the board with penalties and

493
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,640
drops.
Really their their problem Are

494
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:47,320
negative plays there, Mr. Rico.
I think the problem is, is they

495
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,800
got to find a way to get back to
remember when they would be like

496
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,520
first and 15 and then, you know,
Aaron Rodgers would just sling

497
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,640
it for 20 yards.
What what happened to that

498
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,800
offense?
Like that's what they were doing

499
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,600
in the first couple games of the
of the season, especially

500
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,240
against The Jets.
It's like suddenly they just

501
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,640
figured like, you know, we're
not going to try that.

502
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,360
We're going to try and let them
run for it.

503
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:15,720
You know the old the old offense
that is dip it 5 yards and let

504
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,120
them run 10 to get the first
down on 3rd down, which never

505
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:20,760
works.
You know, everybody knows that

506
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:21,320
doesn't.
Work.

507
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,080
They're hoping the defense is
hoping you do that.

508
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,560
Yeah, because they're actually
very good tacklers and they're

509
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,400
not like us.
They're going to make that

510
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,440
tackle and then we are going to
punt.

511
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,440
So yeah, that's that's what's
going on with the offense.

512
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:38,960
Other than that, I think the
offense is is got it going on,

513
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,880
but I'd like to see him open it
up more on the right downs.

514
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,600
That's where all the.
Time that's where I disagree.

515
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,640
I, I just I, I, I don't think
the offense has it going on at

516
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,360
all.
But let's let's get some more of

517
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:52,480
these comments in here.
And then Chris Chotta has a

518
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:58,680
question that maybe we should go
to oldest on the wise breaking

519
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,360
the streak is the fans only hope
that management will let Tomlin

520
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:03,480
go.
There's always that 1% chance.

521
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,240
We can hope.
OK, we'll give it 1% chance.

522
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,080
All right, We will.
If it's if it's let's say, let's

523
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,000
say next week, they get blown
out again.

524
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,320
And then they the defense, they
then they get blown out again

525
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,760
and that let's say they end the
year as the worst defense in the

526
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,000
league and the streak gets
broken.

527
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:23,320
You know, 18 years.
They finished 6:00 and 11:00.

528
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,400
It could, yeah.
It it it could be a mutual part

529
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,240
of the way.
But do you think they're going

530
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,200
to to let go of their star
Tomlin with the draft here?

531
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,080
Yeah, no way.
I I I think that's probably

532
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,080
true.
It it it really is.

533
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,600
Our problem is we need need a
better O line.

534
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,360
Our Q BS never have time.
I I actually, I think I disagree

535
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,960
with that.
I mean, I think we the, the, the

536
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,080
offensive line went up against a
really serious Green Bay

537
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,320
defensive line with Mike
Parsons.

538
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,480
I, I think they could have
played better.

539
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,880
But, you know, overall, there's
been progression there.

540
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,920
And, you know, it's a learning
experience for Broderick.

541
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,960
It shouldn't be at this point in
his career.

542
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,720
It shouldn't be, but it's a
learning experience for

543
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,600
Broderick Jones today against
the best pass rusher in the

544
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,720
league.
Well, Prince of Line wasn't

545
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,480
terrible.
The other, the other, the other

546
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,520
thing that I say to Mr. Higgs is
what happened was they they

547
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,840
stopped running the ball.
So once you stop running the

548
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,600
ball, it really becomes easy for
their pass rushers just to just

549
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,760
to just take off right for the
quarterback.

550
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,240
And that's what that's what you
saw in the fourth quarter.

551
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,520
Everybody knew they had to pass
the ball.

552
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,400
We had to get chunk plays.
We had to score twice real

553
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,160
quickly.
So it becomes easier to rush the

554
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,920
quarterback when that happens.
And it makes it a lot harder on

555
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,960
the offensive line to stop
somebody like Michael Parsons or

556
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,520
that I forget his his first
name, Richard Gary.

557
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,680
Richard Gary.
Yeah, he two really good,

558
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,480
excellent pass rushers.
But you could I thought that the

559
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,320
offense did good when they were
opening up holes in the first

560
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,040
half.
And I don't know why the

561
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,320
Steelers got away from that so
soon.

562
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,680
I mean, I, I think they needed
splash plays in there.

563
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,000
Once they were able to establish
the run, that's when you make

564
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,440
those splash plays deep to DK or
even CA-3.

565
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,440
I mean, CA-3's proven that he
can get open deep.

566
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,600
Why not send them deep instead
of on that, you know, out pass

567
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,000
for three yards?
He's, he weighs, you know, 195

568
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,480
lbs.
He's going to get killed.

569
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,520
You know, that's not where he's
going to excel.

570
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,440
So that's what I have to say
about the offensive line.

571
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,600
I think they're they're they're
not big problem.

572
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,040
But you are right, Aaron Rodgers
doesn't look comfortable in the

573
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,040
pocket and he does look like
he's always getting outside the

574
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,040
pocket to feel more comfortable.
I don't know if that's a product

575
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,480
of the offensive line or just
the way Aaron Rodgers likes to

576
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,280
throw the ball.
OK, so I want to get, I want to

577
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,360
get some new guests in here.
I want to acknowledge them,

578
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,240
Echelon motion picture says Fire
Tomlin.

579
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,280
It's a little blunt, don't you
think?

580
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,760
Thanks for being here.
We like, I love it, yeah.

581
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,560
Yeah.
What?

582
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,680
Rob K, what is the number one
need of this team in the 26th

583
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,280
draft?
Let's talk about that in a

584
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,200
second.
Troy Donnerberg.

585
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,400
There's a lot of very average
talent on this defense.

586
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,840
Wilson, Benton, Porter, Queen
high, Smith not good enough.

587
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,960
We're only good defensively when
we force turnovers.

588
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,840
It says champ one O 17.
Mr. Higgs.

589
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,320
The problem is we need a better
align right.

590
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,080
We we just talked about that.
I I want to go back here to this

591
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,600
comment.

like that and you can follow.
Some Penguins talk.

599
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,560
Always some Penguins talk and
sorry, sorry about that.

600
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,480
I'm trying to keep myself on the
football side of things here

601
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,320
tonight.
And the podcast on Spotify,

602
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,920
iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast,
anywhere you get your freaking

603
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,680
podcast, you can you can listen
to us there.

604
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,120
We'd appreciate that.
All negatives aside, what can

605
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,640
they do to turn it around?
What's the most pressing

606
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,600
problem?
Now listen, I'm sure you

607
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,560
probably have an idea on that.
So answer Chris Chata's comment

608
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,680
in the comments, OK.
And what do we think their their

609
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,720
most pressing problem on defense
is?

610
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,240
What What?
What do you guys think about

611
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,160
that?
You know, I'm I'm going to go

612
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,480
out there and you might be
surprised by.

613
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,640
This thanks, Mr. Higgs.
I'm, I'm, I'm going to say the

614
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,400
most pressing gun need is pass
rush, honestly.

615
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,240
I mean, I know it sounds, I know
it sounds a little silly, but,

616
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,320
but they, they do need that.
They had no sacks tonight.

617
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,960
You know you can't have games in
the NFL with no sacks,

618
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,600
especially against good teams.
Well, and I think I'm sorry.

619
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,200
Go ahead, Mark.
I was just going to say and it

620
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,080
leaves the the corners and
safeties out the dry if you

621
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,760
can't get there.
Yeah, right.

622
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,680
So I think you that's exactly
right.

623
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,720
They need to have confidence
that their their ends can get to

624
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,920
the quarterback and what do they
need to do?

625
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,840
They need to have a little bit
of balls and they need to roll

626
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,800
up their corners and and plug
them right on the line and just

627
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,080
say.
So let's get let's get this

628
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,240
comment in here because I think
it speaks directly to what

629
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,440
you're saying right now.
HJ, there's no way you're

630
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,960
sitting here saying that we
don't have the talent.

631
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,640
We have the talent.
The scheme is from 1997.

632
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,040
The scheme is not from 1997.
We were much better in 1997.

633
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,280
Just just let's let's be clear
about that.

634
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,520
The scheme is from 1986 when
Bubby Brister was the

635
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,920
quarterback and.
We we, you know we.

636
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,520
We would go, you know.
A bubby mentioned. 6 and 10, you

637
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,720
know, that's what this scheme is
about.

638
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:04,280
But yeah, the defense needs to
play like they're $179 million

639
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,920
defense.
Roll up the corners, go get the

640
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,800
quarterback, don't let him throw
the ball in 1.5 seconds.

641
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,760
Make him throw it deep.
And then, you know, if Mr.

642
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,480
Handsy gets some calls on him,
So what?

643
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,400
So what it it beats the, it
beats the slow drain, the drip

644
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:28,600
of 10 yards, 15 yards, 25 yards,
5 yards, 10 yards, 15 yards time

645
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,040
after time after time.
And they don't even try and stop

646
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,280
it.
That's, that's what they got to

647
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,199
do.
That's that's what they got to

648
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:38,480
do to fix the problem.
And, and as far as the offense

649
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,960
goes, just run the ball a little
bit more and take your shots

650
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,239
and, and, and better spots.
That's it.

651
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,360
That's all it takes.
They, I think they can, they

652
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,440
can, they can turn this around.
Yep.

653
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:51,840
Yeah, and.
And here you go.

654
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,159
John Edborg back.
Thanks, buddy.

655
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:56,400
Players alone can't win games in
2025.

656
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,000
Tomlin is the biggest problem.
His approach is stale.

657
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,840
Lorenzo on YouTube.
Tara Austin was fired from

658
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,840
Cincinnati for a reason.
This is on Mike Tomlin as much

659
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,320
as him.
He's supposedly A defensive

660
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,520
mind, but his defense sucks.
A good QB takes what they're

661
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:17,360
given, you know?
Thank you, John, says echelon.

662
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,800
Most opinion.
Yeah, I I think that I think the

663
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,520
issue right now is that the
problems on this team are many.

664
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:33,360
And once again, there is talent
on the team and the schemes are

665
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,920
bad.
And, and this speaks directly to

666
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,920
the comment about talent on the
team.

667
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,800
And it's a bad scheme.
There's enough talent on the

668
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,400
team that even with these bad
schemes, they could still win

669
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,560
8-9 or ten games this year.
Probably not 11, but it it's

670
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,120
possible.
I mean, they're running a

671
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,280
gauntlet here coming up.
They could easily lose the way

672
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,880
it looks like right now.
They could easily lose all of

673
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,200
these games.
Now, chances are they're going

674
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:05,440
to pull off at least one and
maybe 2, you know, but still,

675
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,320
that's not a good sign.
But it is a good sign if you

676
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,640
want to win nine games or 10
games.

677
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,920
So, you know, the biggest
problem for me right now, it is

678
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,360
the coach.
It is and, and and that really

679
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,440
is a shame because there is
nothing that's going to be done

680
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,960
about that.
But what do you think the

681
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,960
biggest problem, for example, on
defense is?

682
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,480
It's the biggest problem they
had tonight.

683
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,320
It's the middle of the defense.
It's the middle of the defense.

684
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,240
The linebackers in that
secondary you were talking about

685
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:43,440
how you know this craft kid
sliced him up for 160 plus

686
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,400
yards, 2 touchdowns, whatever.
That's the biggest problem

687
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,480
there.
I think the biggest problem is

688
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,440
no #2 wide receiver on offense.
That's what I think.

689
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,880
If you're going to label one
problem that's the biggest.

690
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,320
If Metcalf didn't get the ball
tonight, nobody else was going

691
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,280
to threaten to stretch that
field or come over the middle in

692
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,200
a deep crossing pattern.
They they, they, they only have

693
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,080
one guy they had to shut down in
the secondary and then focus.

694
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,560
And they?
I I disagree with that.

695
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,920
Yeah, you're wrong.
About that, I, I think it's, I

696
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,400
think it's, I think it's play
calling.

697
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,320
Look, look what Friarmouth did
last week.

698
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,680
He was barely even a part of the
game plan this week.

699
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,720
And I think we, I think we all
know Jonny Smith.

700
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:29,520
I mean that he's a Pro Bowl
player.

701
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,920
He's barely part of the game
plan, you know, So I, I mean, I,

702
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,720
I just feel like there's just,
they're not pushing the right

703
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:41,280
buttons quite a bit.
Well, and they don't have, they

704
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,680
don't have a, they don't have a
true wide receiver #2 but

705
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,960
between Roman Wilson and Calvin
Austin tonight, they had eight

706
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,240
balls for over 100 yards.
So I mean.

707
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,000
I mean, that's that's good.
Well, there's something wrong

708
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,720
with that.
From two guys, yeah.

709
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,040
Roman Wilson had four catches
for 74 yards and a touchdown.

710
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,120
That's a #2 receiver stat line.
Yeah.

711
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,160
So I don't think that's the
problem.

712
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,080
I think the problem is this
right here.

713
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,280
When does, when does Terrell
Austin get fired?

714
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,880
Says Lorenzo.
Never.

715
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,320
He's he's in just like Tomlin's
in.

716
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,480
And you know how I know that?
Because they had the best.

717
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,160
They had the best guy for the
job.

718
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,360
They had Brian Flores around.
And what did they do?

719
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,880
They let him go.
Why did they let him go?

720
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,440
Because he was too smart and
could take over the defense.

721
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,480
Because Tomlin doesn't want to
give it up.

722
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,680
So guess who's got to go if
Terrell Austin's going to go?

723
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:40,000
Unless the Rooneys go come down
from the high heavens and they

724
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,560
say to Mike Tomlin you need to
fire Terrell Austin and that

725
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,480
will never happen.
OK, so oh Jason, thanks for

726
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,080
subscribing.
I really appreciate it.

727
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,800
We we appreciate it here on the
porch.

728
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,920
What about Tomlin's 3-4 version
with A2 four?

729
00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:00,080
We have a four man front with
255 LB outside linebackers and

730
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,040
300 LB defensive lineman.
All of the teams with four man

731
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:09,080
fronts with 285 D ES and 320D
TS.

732
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,360
Where's the beef?
I think he's saying why don't we

733
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,920
have a bigger defensive line?
No, he's saying, why don't we

734
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,120
run a fourth?
Why don't we run a four 3

735
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:17,960
instead of a?
Three.

736
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:18,680
I'm.
I'm sorry.

737
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,920
Excuse me?
Right and this goes back to the

738
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,520
same reason thing it it this
goes back to the same reason

739
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,760
they won't fire Tomlin because
tradition says that the Steelers

740
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,720
always play A34.
Now they will occasionally bring

741
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:34,760
in four down lineman.
You know, when it's a clear when

742
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,960
it's a clear rushing down,
they'll bring in, you know, both

743
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:44,440
Benton or maybe ya ya black
along with Cam, but they only do

744
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,160
it situationally because they
rely on their linebackers to

745
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,120
play well.
And and and Chris, you hit the

746
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,840
nail on the head here.
Patrick Queen looks like he's

747
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,040
been in the league for 14 years.
Cole Holcomb is rarely out

748
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,120
there.
Peyton Wilson, he's fast, but

749
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,800
he's just not big enough, you
know?

750
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:06,160
So, so they I, when I thought.
This linebacker core was going

751
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,400
to take a step forward like the
I think the offensive line has

752
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,400
the the the linebacker core has
not.

753
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,640
They've taken another step back.
The only the only time they look

754
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,760
good is when they play against
crappy teams.

755
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,600
And also, you know, if you want
to call her big a linebacker,

756
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,760
he's he's not in the game as
much as he should be.

757
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,920
I mean, since since Highsmith's
been back, he his snaps have

758
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,080
gone down and he's a playmaker
for the Steelers.

759
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,320
He needs to be on the field
more.

760
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,000
Yeah.
Don't you think?

761
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,280
Yeah.
Yeah, Yeah, that's true.

762
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:44,480
So so Ojasan is saying no he
wants a true 3-4 not the two 4

763
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,280
failed garbage.
Get someone like Joel Steed or

764
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,120
Casey Hampton.
That's all I want for Christmas.

765
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,200
So he must already have teeth.
Yeah, it's, it's not.

766
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,680
It's not it's not easy to find
Casey Hampton.

767
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,160
No, no, because I think he
retired.

768
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,240
He's literally 1 Christmas.
Is a long time away.

769
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:03,760
I think we need to get somebody
in there before Christmas.

770
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,160
But your point is well taken.
Echelon Motion picture seems to

771
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,800
be I don't know who is behind
this.

772
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,880
It's this sounds like a a cool
YouTube page to go to, but guys.

773
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,480
Specialize in horror movies.
Guys, you no, it looks like they

774
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,800
specialize in car logos.
See that?

775
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,080
I don't know.
No, most adventures means

776
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,280
movies.
Chris, I know.

777
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,880
I know.
No offense, man.

778
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,320
Guys, you keep bringing up
players.

779
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,320
It's not the players.
We have been complaining about

780
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,480
players for years.
Use common sense.

781
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,200
Who is the anomaly?
Yeah, Mike Tamlin.

782
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,160
Yeah, we all, we all know that,
Tomlin.

783
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,880
'S Yeah, we agree.
We agree.

784
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,120
Here's here's the thing.
And and and I'm not.

785
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,720
Going away anytime.
Soon, so we can.

786
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,960
End it here and be done with it.
Ash, Ash, friend, buddy,

787
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,280
companion, Steelers fan.
OK, I'm going to, I'm going to

788
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,040
try to explain this to you now
since you're going to subscribe

789
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,920
or you already have.
You come see the show, you visit

790
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,000
the show, you hang out with us
on the porch for a couple

791
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,240
nights, couple weeks.
Give it a little time, all

792
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:03,880
right?
And you're going to see that we

793
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,000
agree with you 100%.
We do.

794
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:12,000
Tomlin is the problem.
But here's the problem with

795
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,840
focusing on that.
HJ is correct and and that's HJ

796
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,160
right there.
Hockey Jesus.

797
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,080
Also, lifelong Steelers fan,
biggest yenser I know.

798
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:26,040
Best yenser I know.
They will never fire him.

799
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,680
So we're stuck with him.
It's kind of like knowing that

800
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,760
Ben Cherington is coming back
for the Pirates next year.

801
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,400
You know what you're going to
get?

802
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,960
You're going to get bullshit in
the offseason and bullshit

803
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,600
during the regular season, and
we're not going to the Pirates

804
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,440
now.
But that's what you're going to

805
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:46,120
get out of right now, out of the
roonies, because they're not

806
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:50,280
going to fire Tomlin.
So if all you want to do is talk

807
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,920
about not firing Tomlin, then
it's a very one-dimensional

808
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,800
show, you know what I'm saying?
We're only going to have one

809
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:02,480
subject to talk about.
And look, they've had decent

810
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,960
times with Tomlin.
You know, it's always a

811
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,560
headache.
But we we just got to focus on

812
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,960
like, what do we hope happens?
You know, like, look, here's a

813
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,360
tease for the show tomorrow
night and these guys don't even

814
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,040
know this.
Oh boy, you're not pulling some

815
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,080
weird shit at the end are.
You no SpongeBob.

816
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,280
If I was going to do that, I
wouldn't tease it, Grand

817
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:26,200
Schwabini.
I would just.

818
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,120
Or we're going to have to like,
try to guess, like how

819
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,680
Stonehenge happened.
No, I'm not going to do that.

820
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,280
That's for that's that's
happening in late December.

821
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:41,400
So what Echelon says I'm a new
subscriber, by the way, Thank

822
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:46,200
you, really appreciate that.
Love the love the fire, love the

823
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:51,720
passion.
But no, I mean, you know, I'm

824
00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:54,920
going to talk about one of the
subject I'm going to bring up

825
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,840
tomorrow night has to do with
the young quarterbacks in the

826
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,920
AFC, specifically the AFC North
and the AFC East.

827
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,600
And did this.
And what did the Steelers miss

828
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,040
out on by trying to push this
out another year in the hopes

829
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,880
that they can draft their
franchise quarterback here in

830
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,560
Pittsburgh?
Like that is so fucking Homer

831
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:15,880
to.
Do like I probably.

832
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,280
Have a strategy.
I have, I have.

833
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,600
I have to tell you, I mean, even
though the Giants got whacked by

834
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,040
the by the Eagles today, I'm
telling you, man, Jackson Dart

835
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,320
is the real deal and they missed
on they missed on him.

836
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,720
And we're going to set, we're
going to save that for tomorrow

837
00:44:31,720 --> 00:44:34,440
night, Grand Swabini, because
I'm going to have some, I'm

838
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,280
going to have some canvas ready.
I'm going to have some canvas.

839
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:38,280
Ready.
Oh, OK.

840
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,480
Great.
Come on, You guys love when I do

841
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,360
that stuff.
It shows that I'm trying.

842
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,520
I'm the technical director.
I'm trying.

843
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:48,840
OK, so before we wrap this up
for the evening, because we're

844
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,040
going to, we probably got
another 10 minutes before we all

845
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,800
got to hit the hay, I want to
thank you if you've subscribed.

846
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,440

message out there.
Let's get the message out there.

851
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,040
It's OK to have an opinion.
You know what I mean?

852
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,200
It's OK to say whatever you want
about how you feel about the

853
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,000
state of the Steelers right now.
It does not look good, does not

854
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,360
look good.

We mostly put up our reels and

858
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,640
our shorts and our videos up
there.

859
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,320
So I'm going to be clipping this
up after the show and also

860
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,520
dropping it in the podcast on
Spotify.

861
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,920
Trey is in the house.
We need to stop, stop with the

862
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,520
man coverage.
I don't, I don't know HJ you're.

863
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,680
Not well, I mean, no what no,
what he what he's saying is if

864
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,160
you play a zone, then you can
stop, you can make that tackle

865
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,080
in five yards.
When you play a man and you

866
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,280
don't, you don't pick up that
man, then that man can run for

867
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,240
1520 yards.
That's what he's saying by by by

868
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:00,640
stopping with the man coverage.
And he's not wrong.

869
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,880
We just got to have the right
people covering.

870
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,520
Like clearly tonight our
linebackers couldn't cover

871
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,840
craft.
They needed to change out of

872
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,920
that into something that would
have worked.

873
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,320
But they didn't.
They didn't do it.

874
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,440
They didn't make a damn change.
And the other thing is, is she's

875
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,200
absolutely right.
Defense needs to step it up.

876
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,600
Trey, you, you fit in perfect
clear here on the porch.

877
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,160
Welcome to the porch.
You make a lot of sense.

878
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,360
Just don't say please fire
Tomlin, because we already know

879
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,880
we need to fire Tomlin.
I would say, you know, it's

880
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,920
interesting, Trey says.
You know, we need to stop the

881
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,280
man coverage.
How about we need to start

882
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,280
covering?
Yeah.

883
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:45,080
Total zone and man, yeah.
Patrick.

884
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,240
We start covering.
Patrick Queen is a coverage

885
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:49,960
linebacker, by the way.
He could have.

886
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:51,360
Could have.
Could have.

887
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:52,720
Could have.
Fooled me, could have.

888
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:56,160
Fooled me, by the way, by the
way, Mr. Higgs says.

889
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,040
Gotta love the standard.
Is there a standard?

890
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,920
I don't think so the.
Standard is let's get the 500 so

891
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:08,000
we can save our season, yeah.
I'd say that means there is no

892
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,360
standard now.
Yeah, I, I here.

893
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,920
Comes that reflux again.
Guys, I feel it's coming up.

894
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:19,600
I, I, I, I got to tell you guys,
I, there was a, there was a time

895
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:22,200
during this game, I texted you
guys when near the end it

896
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,960
started to get a little chippy.
And I said, this looks like the

897
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:31,720
classic Tomlin undisciplined
team again, you know, and, and I

898
00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:34,120
mean, I did see George Pickens
today, even though, you know,

899
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,520
Dallas, did they get, did they
get, yeah, they got killed.

900
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,400
He didn't lose, but we, we're
not going to talk about him.

901
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,680
So if Tomlin and Cherrington had
a baby, it would be the baby

902
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,040
from the Seinfeld episode about
the ugly baby.

903
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:51,000
Or at very least the 228 Detroit
Lions wearing Cleveland Clowns

904
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,360
uniforms.
I like that.

905
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,160
I I think we should end on that
note.

906
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,600
I think that that kind of says
it all.

907
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,640
This was a dumpster fire of a.
Game that was an ugly baby of a

908
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,640
game.
You got that right for sure.

909
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:03,920
Yeah.
All right.

910
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,960
So what are we going to do?
Well, this, this is what we're

911
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,120
going to do.
We're going to tell you right
