STEELERS WIN - IS AARON RODGERS FOR REAL - IS THE DEFENSE THAT BAD?

1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:07,720

technical director, the Grand
Schwabini and Hockey Jesus.

Come on Pittsburgh, let's show a
little.

4
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,520
Steelers, Penguins and Pirates

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:32,320
Black and Gold starts now.
All right, there you go.

00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,240
technical director.
Welcome to the show.

8
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,720
If you're watching us on
YouTube, somebody is not muted.

9
00:00:46,560 --> 00:01:17,240
I don't know who that is.
Here we go.

10
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,560
Guaranteed.
So what are we going to do here?

11
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,080
Well, we're going to talk
Steelers.

12
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,720
So I'm I'm still getting that
echo.

13
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,280
Yep, I hear it.
Yeah, not necessary to tell the

14
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:35,200
crowd about it, but you know, if
you'd like to waste time on the

15
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,920
show with this we.
Can get this.

16
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,400
We have to get the the sound
sorted out and on our big camera

00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,240
we have Steve who is working on
the laptop.

18
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,360

There it is.

20
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,760
There she blows.
There she blows.

21
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,600
Just turn the volume down on
that baby right there and we'll

22
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,000
get all this sorted out, I hope
as soon as possible.

28
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:25,360
I'm not sure why he is, you
know, asking this.

29
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,480
He's from Buffalo.
Yeah, but how does he prom he's?

30
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,040
Prompting us.
How did he not know the Steelers

31
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,800
won?
Well, maybe he only watches the

32
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,280
Bills game.
He's jagging you.

33
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,360
He's jagging you.
So yes, of course everybody

34
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,040
knows the Steelers won.
Who wasn't watching the Steelers

35
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,720
game yesterday?
I mean, it was the, IT was the

36
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,320
coming out party for the 41 year
old Aaron Rodgers, who was 22 of

37
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,160
30 for 244 yards with four
touchdowns against the old

38
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,000
Steelers quarterback Justin
Fields, who was 16 to 22 for 218

39
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,800
in a touchdown.
Jalen Warren LED all rushers for

40
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,840
the Steelers with 11 carries
with 37 yards.

41
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:13,240
DK Metcalf, 4 receptions, 83
yards overall, guys overall.

42
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:15,120
Oh, what do you think of this
victory?

43
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,240
We're going to do bad and ugly.
We're going to talk about

44
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,400
everything everybody's talking
about.

45
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,240
So of course, and we want you to
drop your comments and tell us

46
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:30,080
what you think because this was,
man, this was a a strange game

47
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,160
to watch.
And I'll give my own reasons

48
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,120
after you guys go.
Chris Chott, I can't wait to

49
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,880
hear the grades you have for the
Steelers.

50
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,520
We're going to be doing that.
I'm not.

51
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,160
Coming your way.
Yesterday, So you know, where

52
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,840
where do you guys come down in
general on this, on this

53
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,840
victory?
Well, I think any win is a good

54
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,160
win in the NFL.
You know, the reality is, is you

55
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,640
need to stack wins and it's a
game when you look at the

56
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,800
schedule that you say we have to
win this game and they did win

57
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,400
the game.
It, you know, it was more

58
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,000
difficult than they would have
liked.

59
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,680
There's, there's plenty negative
to talk about, but I think we

60
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,840
should start out by talking
about the positive, which was

61
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,600
Aaron Rodgers gave the Steelers
their best quarterback

62
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:25,160
performance since 2018, I
believe when Ben Roethlisberger

63
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,120
had a game where I think he
threw 5 touchdowns and no picks,

64
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,640
right?
So their best performance in

65
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,200
since the glory days of Ben
Roethlisberger.

66
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:40,000
So that tells you right there.
Obviously a much needed

67
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,520
offensive output that we just
haven't seen in years.

68
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,560
Let's be honest, it's been a
long time.

69
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,280
Yeah, and he looked very good.
He looked very good yesterday.

70
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:56,320
Complete control of the offense,
hitting receivers.

71
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,800
I'll tell you what it looked to
me like.

72
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,240
Look, I mean, other than DK
Metcalf, you know, the other

73
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,200
guys are the same receivers
running the same routes, but

74
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,240
they seemed wide open yesterday.
And, you know, is that because,

75
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,400
you know, Rogers is
orchestrating it?

76
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,240
Is it because maybe with Rogers
at quarterback, you know, you

77
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,400
know, we can scheme players open
better?

78
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,040
Who knows?
But you know, the main thing is,

79
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,160
is that the defense, obviously
we'll be talking about, but as

80
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,000
far as the offense is concerned,
the offense should keep the

81
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,480
Steelers in a lot of games.
Well, that's so much on.

82
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,160
That's so unlike last year.
Last year it was like you had to

83
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,960
struggle.
Minus that one game that that

84
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,480
the former quarterback had
against the Bengals.

85
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,840
I think the positive for me is
definitely Boswell.

86
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,560
Let's face it.
I mean who can try it out?

87
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,880
A guy to drop it on the 50 yard
line and feel confident he's

88
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,000
going to be making it.
This guy got snubbed in in the

89
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,240
offseason by not getting a
contract extension and he just

90
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,960
goes out there and kicks 2 very
long field goals and people take

91
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,840
that for granted.
And we shouldn't because that is

92
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:17,600
not a Gimme for almost every
other team in the NFL.

93
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,480
And it did save their ass
because honestly they deserve to

94
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,840
lose this game.
Their their defense was

95
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:29,680
atrocious at it only stopped the
IT only stopped The Jets at the

96
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,400
very end when they really needed
to.

97
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,880
And then one other time they
went three and out.

98
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,640
And other than that, they were
just absolutely porous on the

99
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,200
defensive line where they gave,
you know, they, they I guess you

100
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,560
can say they gave Cam his money,
but the reality is the 3,000,000

101
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,800
that he got, that he got they're
incentives and they're if they

102
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,440
make the playoffs and if they
win playoff games.

103
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,400
So, so really that's actually
beneficial for the Steelers.

104
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,520
And they should have probably
just had that in the first

105
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,120
contract.
But I hate the fact that he is

106
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,320
the guy that made the Steelers
do that on a with a with more

107
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,560
than a season to go.
The Steelers have never, ever

108
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,600
done that before in the history
of their team.

109
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,480
They didn't do it for Heinz.
They didn't do it for Ben.

110
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,760
They didn't do it for Troy
Palmolive.

111
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,160
I mean, and they did it for for
Cam.

112
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,880
And then he goes out there and
lays the egg.

113
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,000
He did.
Frankly, Cam should be

114
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,720
embarrassed.
He should, he should absolutely

115
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,040
be apologizing to everybody in
all of Pittsburgh, all of

116
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,000
Steeler Nation, because that was
ridiculous what he did.

117
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,200
And their defensive line was
terrible.

118
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,960
So I think that's where they
need to to pick things up.

119
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,080
But Mark is right, a win is a
win.

120
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,080
I'll what any time you can
snatch a victory from the hands

121
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,240
of defeat, even in a game you
were supposed to win, you still

122
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,800
got to applaud that.
And that was only because of

123
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,640
Aaron Rodgers and the way he was
running that offense yesterday.

124
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,960
And I think let's let's, let's
face it, let's thank The Jets

125
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,560
too.
The Jets are The Jets.

126
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,080
They're counting kind of the
Browns of their division.

127
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,080
And they played well.
I don't think I don't think

128
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,240
you'll see Justin Fields play
that well the rest of the

129
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:16,280
season, but I could be wrong.
So Donald Sharp, thanks for

130
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,080
being here.
Donald, hit that follow button

131
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,400
on Facebook or go over to
YouTube, hit the subscribe

132
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,200
button and then the
notifications.

133
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,520
You'll know when we're live
every Monday at 7:30 PM Eastern.

134
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,120
Donald Sharp says says MVP was
Chris Boswell.

135
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,039
Absolutely right.
You know, it's funny because if

136
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:35,159
you go back to last week's show,
one of the things that I brought

137
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:37,480
up is I said.
You can't keep counting.

138
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,679
On going to rely on Chris
Boswell to kick, you know, mile

139
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,720
long field goals to win games
and Schwaber correctly called

140
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,720
that Boswell would get the
winning kick.

141
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,080
Yeah, well, once, once the
scenario presented.

142
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,000
Once it presented itself, but
but you know, absolutely right

143
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,480
now he is, you know, he's the
guy.

144
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,800
Chris Chotta following up on
your Hayward comments, please

145
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,120
tell me what does Cam Hayward
do?

146
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,080
Am I missing something?
No, you're not missing anything.

147
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,040
Cam Hayward at this point is an
overpaid, aging veteran.

148
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,720
I'm sorry.
And you guys know the way we

149
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,360
operate around here.
We tell you like we we, we tell

150
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,800
you like we see it.
You know, we disagree with each

151
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,520
other a lot.
But the point is, you know,

152
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,480
we're not beholden to these
locker rooms.

153
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,040
We don't interview these
players.

154
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,080
We'd love to.
But at the same time, you know,

155
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,960
our opinions are truly our
opinions.

156
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,400
We're not sugar coating
anything.

157
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,440
I think he had a pretty good
year last year for the 1st 1011

158
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,720
games.
After that he showed his age and

159
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,160
we know what happened to the
play offs.

160
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,240
Old story, not going to rerun it
this year.

161
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,000
He comes in and does what he
does with the contract and of

162
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,200
course he was out of shape for
this game.

163
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,320
He did a hold in which means he
stood in the facility or out on

164
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,280
the field while his teammates
were practicing.

165
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,760
So he is not in game shape.
And even if he was in game

166
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,880
shape, he's shown in the past
that Derrick Henry or not

167
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,560
Derrick Henry, that running
backs get, well, Derrick Henry,

168
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:07,040
but that running backs can run
all over him.

169
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,520
He's old.
He's not worth the money

170
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,760
anymore.
And for me, he kind of tarnished

171
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,440
his reputation.
His legacy for me is not as good

172
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,120
as it was.
I still think he's a good guy,

173
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,840
but I but I think he got.
Greedy.

174
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,880
For what it's worth, he played a
67.2% of the snap.

175
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,360
Yeah, and and and and.
Which is actually more than I

176
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,480
thought.
Actually.

177
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,360
Yeah.
And he and he didn't, he didn't

178
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,720
work his way towards any of
those incentives that.

179
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,280
Well, Alex Smith played 89.1.
Yeah, Mike Lawrence.

180
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,360
Mike's back in the house.
Hey, Mike, what's what's up?

181
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:41,800
Our defense was awful in the
first half.

182
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,000
Sucked.
They made Justin Fields look

183
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,320
like a Hall of Fame quarterback.
I don't think quite Hall of

184
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,040
Fame.
Not Brock Purdy, but he didn't

185
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,680
he didn't look horrible.
Jets had 182 rushing yards.

186
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:54,080
Yikes.
Still glad they won.

187
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,240
And Donald Sharp then follows up
what happened to the to the best

188
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,640
defense in the NFL.
Excuse me.

189
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:06,560
Listen, guys, I, you know, I I
think that this goes back to

190
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:09,920
something that Schwaber
identified a couple years back

191
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,600
about the defense.
Yeah, Their defense has a lot of

192
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,480
very talented individual
players.

193
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,920
You look at a Watt, you look at
a Hayward, you look at a high

194
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:26,200
Smith, now you look at a Ramsey.
Slay is aging, but a Patrick

195
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,360
Queen.
Guys that definitely are in the

196
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,320
upper echelon of the talent on
defenses.

197
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,600
The coaching is not very good
and the scheme we were talking

198
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,120
about this during the game
yesterday is not very good.

199
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,080
But what what really won them
this game?

200
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:48,680
A couple splash plays.
Rogers played brilliantly, but

201
00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:52,120
he did only only pass for 244
yards, which is nothing to

202
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,560
sneeze at, but it's not like he
went out and had a 350 yard

203
00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:57,160
passing day.
Yeah, well, they're not going to

204
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,840
be chucking it down the.
Field right, right.

205
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,600
Although the main, the main
splash play was a special team's

206
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,800
play.
That's exactly right.

207
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,320
So, so the fumble.
So it's the last play I.

208
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,320
Mean they literally scored twice
within how long, You know, very

209
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,240
quickly, Yeah, because of that
fumble.

210
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:17,200
Yeah, it was touchdown fumble. 2
plays. 2 plays touchdown.

211
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:22,280
That is what you didn't have
last year and the year before,

212
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,680
right?
If the defense got a big play, a

213
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:28,760
turnover or a sack, we didn't.
We weren't able to capitalize on

214
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,400
it.
So what Aaron Rodgers brings to

215
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:35,840
the table is the athletic
ability, the experience and the

216
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:41,040
savviness with which to read the
other team very quickly and and

217
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,200
strike.
He knows the importance of

218
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,240
getting points off of turnovers
and that's what won the game,

219
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,600
followed up by a 60 yard field
goal from Chris Boswell.

220
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,840
So I watched a Steelers game on,
yet you know, yesterday that I,

221
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,400
I felt like was one of the more
exciting games I've watched in a

222
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,320
long time because the Steelers
of the past would have rolled

223
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,800
over and died.
Did you see the abysmal record

224
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,800
that that Mike Tomlin has after,
you know, when went down at at

225
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,360
the first half, at the end of
the first half?

226
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,480
Well, you got to win on that.
One, yeah, it was 40.

227
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,560
It was, it was like I'm going to
get the number kind of wrong, I

228
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:23,480
think, but I'm I'm damn close.
It was like 41 and 76.

229
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,240
Well, he's up to 42.
Yeah, now he's 42 and 76.

230
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,400
That is a horrible record.
I do.

231
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,640
Losing in half.
I do wonder how many of them

232
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,000
those came from Ben and.
And you want to know what?

233
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,360
Most.
Here's here's the original.

234
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,480
Most wins, right?
Yeah.

235
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,360
Here's here's the here's the the
the real way you can tell that

236
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,480
the NFL doesn't want to talk
about this.

237
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:49,200
They put that graphic up.
Did you see the graphic?

238
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:51,720
I missed you.
No, I didn't.

239
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,560
I got to be honest, I.
Missed it that.

240
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:55,880
Graphic was up for about 3
seconds.

241
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,560
I happened to be, you know,
staring right at the TV when it

242
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:04,040
came up, and I do not remember a
commentator making a single.

243
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,640
They didn't.
Comment about that graphic.

244
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,400
They did.
Not one.

245
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:12,760
To me, that signals a losing
coach.

246
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,320
Now, I know he's never had a
losing season.

247
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,120
I get it.
But I'm like, look, if you

248
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,200
can't, if you can't now, it
doesn't.

249
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,760
It doesn't outline how many
games of those 112 or whatever

250
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,400
that they were or 120 that they
were behind at halftime.

251
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,360
Like maybe a couple of them they
were behind by one point or

252
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,520
three points.
Some of them they might have

253
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,760
been behind by 20 points or
whatever, of course, but it

254
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,520
doesn't matter.
It's behind.

255
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,680
So there were plenty of those
games.

256
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,080
They were probably down by a
field goal and they still

257
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,120
couldn't win the game.
He does not coach in the

258
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,800
second-half.
Well, that game was won by a

259
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,080
splash play and A and A and a
competent quarterback.

260
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,720
So I enjoyed it from that
standpoint.

261
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,480
We want to know how you guys out
there felt as far as the

262
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,440
overall.
We're going to get into grading

263
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,600
these players and talking about
them.

264
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,360
And you know, specifically a lot
of the things that I think all

265
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,880
of us saw, maybe some things
that some of us didn't see,

266
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,600
good, bad and ugly.
But for right now, you know,

267
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,400
what did you think about the
overall victory?

268
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,520
Like Steve said, a win is a win.
That's true.

269
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,120
They got a win.
So now it's moving on.

270
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,320
So a couple other comments we
get in here.

271
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,480
What happened to the Oh yeah, we
did that one already.

272
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,200
Ramsey would have gotten
arrested for assault were he not

273
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,480
in the NFL.
There was a lot of assault going

274
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:31,520
on.
That was yesterday.

275
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,400
That was a that was a great play
by Ramsey to end the game.

276
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,600
It really was.
It was.

277
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,720
That was a great play.
Why they?

278
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,040
Why he gets paid the?
Money.

279
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,320
And that's and that's a
superstar cornerback.

280
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,480
Yeah, absolutely.
He timed it perfectly.

281
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,320
He did.
I agree.

282
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,680
That's where that's where the
advantage comes in.

283
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,600
But he's kind of a hot head.
Oh yeah, I'm a little worried.

284
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,080
He's always been that.
He's always.

285
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,360
Been like that.
He's always played that way.

286
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,360
That's what you got.
But.

287
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,880
The bottom line is when it comes
to pass defense.

288
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,520
Now they were playing against
Justin Fields, but you know, The

289
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,000
Jets do have a pretty good
receiver and and Wilson and a

290
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,480
back out of the backfield and
Breece Hall that's pretty good

291
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,280
at receiving.
But they did only throw for 212

292
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,520
yards.
What really hurt the defense is

293
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,160
the 182 yards rushing.
Does that sound like a common

294
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,440
theme?
Remember the playoff game last?

295
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,680
Year what I it's.
Just they can't stop the damn

296
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:20,320
run.
What?

297
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,520
I and you know why?
I think it's the line.

298
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:23,400
I'm sorry.
Go ahead, Mark.

299
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,600
No, it's OK.
Go ahead.

300
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,800
I think it's, I think it's the
linebacker play when it comes

301
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,800
down to it, I think the the way
they're playing their

302
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,080
linebackers.
And this is to get the Donald's

303
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,920
question about what happened in
the best defense in the league.

304
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,200
I don't think they I don't think
their linebackers are up up to

305
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,440
the snuff, frankly.
They went out and got they get a

306
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,160
new linebacker every year and
none of them can fill the gap.

307
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,040
There's a gap there to be filled
and the linebackers got to come

308
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,120
up and fill that gap and make
that tackle.

309
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,680
And that's the way that Steelers
defense work.

310
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,920
If the linebackers don't do
that, there's a gaping hole and

311
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,440
it's up to the cornerbacker, the
safety then to to help fill it

312
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,840
in.
And and that's the problem right

313
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,760
now to the other problem is the
defensive lines getting blown

314
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,520
back two or three yards every
every play if.

315
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,560
You go.
Back.

316
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,079
I went back and I watched the
first couple series, every play

317
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:19,359
they were getting manhandled,
like blown off the line of

318
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,359
scrimmage.
And when you're going backwards,

319
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,440
you're running into those
linebackers.

320
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,839
So the linebackers can't see the
hole to come up to make that

321
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:29,080
tackle.
So I think that's the, I think

322
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,720
that's what they got to fix.
And I honestly don't have any

323
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,040
faith that Tomlin or his
defensive coordinator, Terrell

324
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,520
Austin, can get it done.
They haven't proven that they

325
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,720
know how to stop the run.
Yeah.

326
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,600
And this was a Jets offensive
line that was banged up.

327
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,960
Their best offensive line,
Ryman, was out injured.

328
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,760
So they took their center and
they moved their center to guard

329
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,480
and the bar to back up into
center.

330
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,280
So you weren't really dealing
with what should have been, you

331
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,040
know, it should have been an
average offensive line that you

332
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,320
were going up.
Well, if Reese Hall, if Reese

333
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,480
Hall and Justin Fields can do
that, imagine what Lamar Jackson

334
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,680
and and.
Henry's going to do, Derek.

335
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,160
Andrews going to do to.
Us see, I, I, I felt that the

336
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:15,160
the most disappointing part of
the game for me was when I

337
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:22,480
believe the Steelers had the
lead after the touchdown that

338
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:27,480
came after the fumble recovery.
And then it was, you know, the

339
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,360
The Jets I think had the ball
with maybe like 6 minutes left

340
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,640
and they just ran the ball down
the whole field on them.

341
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,640
Yeah, that, that's what was most
discouraging to me.

342
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,640
Is that like?
That, that was it, that that was

343
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,000
I, and I wrote that down here.
The Jets can still do whatever

344
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,800
they want and and Ramsey got
that penalty too, but it really

345
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,680
didn't hurt.
And then and then Fields ran in

346
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,480
that on 4th and goal.
That was a really good play.

347
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,280
And let's face it, TJ just sold
out on that.

348
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,920
He did.
He's got he's got to tell the

349
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,040
cornerback what he's doing so
the cornerback can at least make

350
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,520
a chance at at tackling Justin
Fields.

351
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,280
But he went right for the ball
and and Fields knew it and he

352
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,200
just kept it.
And that's why, that's why that

353
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,160
looks so bad for TJ.
Yeah, but that that was, you

354
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,800
know, it wasn't.
I don't feel Lesley any one play

355
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:20,600
it was it was just the the
entire drive.

356
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,160
They just drove right down.
Yeah, they just drove right down

357
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,920
the field and like, I mean,
look, I mean, look, I mean, like

358
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,080
Breece Hall's a nice player.
Justin Fields got some running

359
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,240
ability, but like, you know,
we're not talking like Joe

360
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,960
Barrow and Jamar Chase out
there.

361
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,760
Yeah, you know what I mean?
It's like this is a team that if

362
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,320
you are truly going to be one of
the better defenses in the

363
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,720
league, this is a team that you
should have shot shut down there

364
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,360
at that point of the game.
What they did this so in

365
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:49,040
fairness, when the defense got
back on the field, they had a

366
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,920
three and out.
And then, then that's when the

367
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,480
Steelers got the field goal and
then Ramsey had the big hit and

368
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,680
the game so that they only had
The Jets only had 233 and outs

369
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,600
and they were both in the
second-half, which is pretty,

370
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,440
pretty amazing.
All right, so I want to get a

371
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,200
few comments in here.
We've got a bunch coming in on

372
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,360
YouTube and on Facebook.
But before I do that real quick,

373
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,200

We got a bunch of people here

378
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,400
from YouTube at the Sports Porch
Podcast.

379
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,520
You can see right down below me,
we have a new camera angle that

380
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,160
we're working on.
You get a sense of what Jerry

381
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,240
rigged it.
Really.

382
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,960
We had a whole discussion on
Jerry Reagan before the game.

383
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,560
Yeah, we had to look.
At any of you old timers out

384
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,280
there, if you would like to
comment on what the word Jerry

385
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,120
means, please do.
I actually happen to know it's

386
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:49,640
actual origin I believe.
And if somebody can give it to

387
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,280
me in the comments, we'll send
you one of these bags.

388
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,040
And and a towel, Jerry.
Rigging one of these.

389
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,120
Please say it in a sentence,
Jerry.

390
00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:00,560
Rigging well, explain the origin
if you know it, if you're an old

391
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,120
timer.
We'll throw one of these in.

392
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:06,160
The reason for this break is
that we are all wearing sports

393
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,520
porch gear.
As you can see, 412 draft gear,

394
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,880
the hats, the shirts, you can
look over here to my right in

395

402
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:41,320
With the promo code porch,
absolutely, let's see here.

403
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,240
These comments I want to catch
up with here.

404
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,320
Aaron Rodgers played well, says
Mike Lawrence.

405
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,840
Why does he run the play clock
down to two to three seconds

406
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,120
almost every time?
That's simple.

407
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,080
Well, I'm going to take a stab
at that.

408
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,120
First of all, he's a veteran and
if the clock's running, he he's

409
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:59,080
on offense.
So if he can take, he wants to

410
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,040
take as much time off the clock
as he can.

411
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,520
Second, he's reading the
defenses and also trying to get

412
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,880
him to jump offsides.
I think he's still learning the

413
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,040
offense, honestly, it's it's
come, it's coming in too late to

414
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,280
him.
So he's just taking everything

415
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,480
you can do.
But you are right.

416
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,240
He's, he's absolutely running
the running, reading the defense

417
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,080
and he's, he changed a lot of
things yesterday, which I to me

418
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,760
is the reason you went out to
get him because nobody else

419
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,120
could could do that.
Yeah, absolutely.

420
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,960
Steelers benefit from early
Ravens and Browns losing.

421
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,240
Absolutely.
Chris Chotta, Mr. Tommy on

422
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,040
YouTube, hit that follow button.
Thank you, Mr. Tommy.

423
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,560
Got the win but need to clean up
some things and that's what

424
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,480
we're going to talk about next.
Absolutely right.

425
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,240
He follows that up with the
issue was the D the defensive

426
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,240
line and could not occupy the O
line.

427
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,320
The linebackers were not kept
clean.

428
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,720
Yep, we see things the same way.
Yeah, Burrow Chase from that

429
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,680
team that blew out the Browns.
Yeah, that.

430
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,760
Was off track. 17 point, It's
mispronounced.

431
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,600
It's about drawing voting
districts.

432
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,320
That's Jerry.
That's gerrymandering, Pat Pat.

433
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,480
You're way off.
Pat off track once again.

434
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,040
Pat off track once again.
OK, let's talk about.

435
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,240
Good bet.
Ugly.

436
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,480
Aaron Rodgers.
OK.

437
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,040
No, these guys, these.
These guys made fun of me

438
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,960
because I said Aaron Rodgers, is
he back or just faking it?

439
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:25,520
And I think everybody out there
knows what I mean by.

440
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:28,360
No, I think it's a stupid way of
putting it.

441
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,240
OK, you can think whatever you
want, but but me and Roberto

442
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,280
Alamar junior, you know we're
going to we're on the same page.

443
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,200
Put your toys down.
Me and Nolan Ryan, we always

444
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,200
throw strikes.
So I what I'm saying is,

445
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,480
Rodgers, look.
Great talk about off track.

446
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,600
Yeah, really.
Rodgers.

447
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,560
Rodgers looked great.
He really did.

448
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:56,360
Is this AI mean this I I don't.
I believe he's for real.

449
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,800
That that's what I'm.
Saying that's a question, yeah.

450
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,480
I, I real or is he not for real?
That is the question.

451
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:09,040
To be real or to not be real.
So I I think we got the real

452
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,400
Aaron Rodgers.
There was so much I liked about

453
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,760
his game.
What you would expect getting a

454
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:21,400
veteran quarterback of his
stature and and have did I drink

455
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,840
the Rogers kool-aid?
I guess maybe that's a better

456
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,840
question for me.
Welcome to the wagon.

457
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,160
Because I was talking about that
last week.

458
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,720
So it was you that was faking
it.

459
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,280
You know what I I took?
Let's let me just say right on.

460
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,320
Let me say this.
I I took a sip of the Rogers

461
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,200
Kool-aid and it didn't taste
bad, but I have not finished the

462
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,840
whole glass.
You shouldn't be drinking.

463
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,200
I think.
You were gulping it down like

464
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,760
Napoleon Dynamite.
Kool-aid. kool-aid.

465
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,800
Worst movie of all time.
kool-aid.

466
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,960
So what do you guys think of
what do you guys think out

467
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,040
there, Rogers, for real?
Or do we have to wait another

468
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,560
game or two to see what we're
going to get?

469
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,560
Schwaber, Go ahead.
Let's let Schwaber go.

470
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:05,600
All right.
Well, I will tell you what I'm

471
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,440
going to say for real, but with
a caveat.

472
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:16,000
The caveat is, will this man
survive because Broderick Jones

473
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,080
gave up three sacks and a
pressure yesterday?

474
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,120
It doesn't matter that he's back
on the correct side.

475
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,120
The bottom line is I think he's
a boss man, Ellis.

476
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,120
Who?
Roderick Jones.

477
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:33,840
Yeah, you're right about.
That and and because and because

478
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,840
and because of that.
Let's walk right?

479
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,560
Aaron Jones is going to get
Aaron Rodgers is going to get

480
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,120
himself killed.
I I get, I get it.

481
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:42,720
I get my chance at Aaron
Rodgers.

482
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,120
Yeah, Yeah.
Well, but we'll go ahead

483
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:46,480
piggyback it.
Go for it.

484
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,680
So to me, Aaron Rodgers is back.
Mark is right.

485
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,800
How long will he be back with
this offensive line?

486
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,680
That's also a function of their
terrible run game.

487
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,120
If you can't, if you can't run,
if you can't run the ball,

488
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,080
that's not helping me.
That's not helping the offense

489
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:05,600
be out to be not
one-dimensional.

490
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,800
If you want to be able to run
the ball and pass the ball, then

491
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,600
you're going to get better pass
protection.

492
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,720
That being said, Aaron Rodgers
is one of the best guys.

493
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,760
Give him 3 seconds he can find
the open guy when he get when he

494
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,480
has to be in the pocket for more
than three seconds.

495
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,160
If he doesn't get rid of it,
he's going to get killed.

496
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,280
So he's got to realize he's got
it.

497
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,920
He's got to shorten his drops,
not drop as far, only go for the

498
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,320
short pass.
To me, that's why you only had

499
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,880
244 yards passing, because he
knew he had, he had to do that

500
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,120
and he was successful at it.
Every once in a while he was

501
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:43,280
able to to drop back because he
thought the, you know, the

502
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,840
scheme was such that they
weren't going to blitz and he

503
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,520
wouldn't get killed.
And it worked.

504
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,760
So let's just hope he can
continue to do that even with

505
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,320
the poorest off.
All along with your running back

506
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,760
comments.
I didn't like the way the

507
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,760
running game was approached
yesterday.

508
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:05,680
First of all, when when you pay
Jalen Warren, he's your number

509
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,880
one back now.
OK, maybe he's not going to be a

510
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,680
20 to 25 carry #1 back, but he's
you're paying him like he's at

511
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,760
least a 15 carry back now.
I don't know why he has to wait

512
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,520
and watch Kenny Gainwell get 4
carries before he gets his first

513
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,120
carry.
I mean, it just didn't make any

514
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:27,120
sense to me, you know, have the
ones with the ones you bring in

515
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:29,120
Kenny Gainwell for a change of
pace.

516
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,160
And let's just try to work in,
you know, the rookie a little

517
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,520
bit at a time here, 'cause, you
know, I'd like to see him more.

518
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,720
But like, let's face it, they're
not going to do that.

519
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,200
So, So.
But the bottom line is, you

520
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:47,480
know, this, this run game should
be 15 carries for Jalen Warren,

521
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:53,480
should be 5 to 7 for Kenny
Gainwell and maybe 3 to 4 for

522
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,200
the rookie until he, you know,
sort of Caleb Johnson.

523
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,520
Is that his name?
Kelp Johnson?

524
00:27:58,520 --> 00:27:59,120
Caleb.
Yep.

525
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,400
Yeah.
And until, until he proves

526
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,080
himself and then he earns more
time.

527
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,960
But I just thought it was really
staggered and strangely put out

528
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,680
there.
Kenny Gainwell had 30 snaps.

529
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:14,280
Jalen Morgan had 25.
Caleb Johnson had two.

530
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,440
Yeah, and Warren.
Warren was 11 for 37 yards,

531
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,320
Gainwell was 7 for 19 and
Johnson was once or negative

532
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,720
too.
I do not feel like they're

533
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:35,360
they're running back room is in
any sort of game shape to be a

534
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:38,600
part of the offense.
I want to go back to the

535
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,120
offensive line.
OK, let's let's grade that

536
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,320
offensive line.
Let's let's assign it a number.

537
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:50,600
OK, So the O line as far as I'm
concerned, I give them AC.

538
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,000
That's a letter, not a number.
It's a grade.

539
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,920
It's a grade.
We're we're we're going by the

540
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,280
grade book.
OK, ABCD.

541
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,400
I'm going to give him AD plus.
I mean I thought they were

542
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,520
pretty bad.
I mean, how do you say his name?

543
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,560
Fontanu.
Fontanu.

544
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,560
Fontanu, I thought, no, look,
I'm going to give him a little

545
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,560
bit of a break because he missed
all of last year.

546
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,760
So really there's almost like a
second game, you know, But he

547
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,360
was pretty bad too.
I mean, he he let his guy, he

548
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,880
gave up a sack yesterday.
You know, Zach is going to give

549
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,840
you everything in the middle.
So he he played well, the two

550
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,360
guards, I'm going to say so.
So I just thought it was a

551
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,960
lackluster performance.
They gave up four sacks.

552
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,760
But if Aaron Rodgers isn't
getting the ball out quickly, it

553
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:43,760
could have been more.
Yeah.

554
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,120
And they didn't control the line
of the scrimmage before the run

555
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,080
game.
Yeah, well, I guess I'm the most

556
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,120
negative.
I'm definitely giving them AD

557
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,600
and the only reason I'm not
giving them an F is because

558
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,080
Fatan, who made a great block on
the one touchdown pass to Calvin

559
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,640
Austin, he picked up the the
blitz really well and it it

560
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,720
allowed Rodgers just enough time
to get that off.

561
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,640
That was the only good block I
saw all day long.

562
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,360
They were porous.
They looked out of sink.

563
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:18,680
I think they missed, missed the
Samalu up the middle and I, I,

564
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,600
I, I, I think up the middle.
They didn't even try and run up

565
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,440
the middle.
So we don't even know how well

566
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,200
they were run blocking up the
middle because they are always

567
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,280
pulling the, the center out.
You know, they try and block

568
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,320
towards the outside because
Broderick Jones and Fontan who

569
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,840
just couldn't get it done.
And they got, they got it.

570
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,000
They got to get it together
because if they can't, we're

571
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,880
it's going to be a very long
season.

572
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,400
And I agree with Alan.
Alan says we barely beat the New

573
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,200
York Jets.
I wouldn't read too much into

574
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,480
it.
That's right.

575
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,160
We have to remind ourselves,
yes, we're want to know, but we

576
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,400
barely beat the New York Jets
A-Team.

577
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,920
We are favored to beat heavily.
So they got to look in the

578
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,120
mirror and especially that
offensive line.

579
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,200
They need to get to work.
And I don't know if it's because

580
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,640
Broder Jones hasn't played on
the left enough, but they got to

581
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,760
figure it out right now.
Here's the thing that I find to

582
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:17,920
be encouraging about the line,
and that is that in spite of

583
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,400
their lackluster at best
performance.

584
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,600
Tank Bigsby traded to the
Eagles.

585
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,880
Who's that?
Jacksonville's.

586
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,480
Playing back.
Well, that's for the fellow show

587
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,400
tomorrow, OK?
Good Lord, out of nowhere.

588
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,360
And you guys thought I was going
crazy tonight.

589
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,640
Sorry, play.
You know, breaking news here on

590
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:38,760
the porch.
Tank Bisbee.

591
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,040
We break news here on the porch.
Philadelphia Eagles.

592
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,120
You also.
Everybody's phone's a buzzing.

593
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,040
You also break my will.
It's not AI, wish it was a

594
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,440
cornerback.
Back to the O line of the

595
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,200
Steelers.
I I think the encouraging thing

596
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:58,080
is that, you know, Aaron Rodgers
was able to move in the pocket.

597
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,960
They did establish a pocket for
him at times.

598
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,720
And because of his skill set and
ability to get the ball out

599
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,360
quickly, he made the throws when
he needed to throw them.

600
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,840
That's true.
This line would have looked a

601
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,480
lot worse were that, I don't
know, Russell Wilson or Kenny

602
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,200
Pickett or Justin Fields back
there because they don't know

603
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,880
how to make a decision to save
their lives 30. 3 yards.

604
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:33,560
When there's pressure OK, so I,
I, I look at the run game and I

605
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:38,160
see it as abysmal.
OK, so the O line grade TD gives

606
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,720
AC and the reason I give AC is
because Rogers and and his line

607
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,240
mates were In Sync enough that
he understood.

608
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,920
It was almost as if Rogers
understood look, first game

609
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,800
fully together left tackle.
These guys are going to be kind

610
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,760
of messy.
I'm going to have to be on my

611
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,640
toes.
And what I didn't see, or at

612
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,520
least what they didn't show
during the broadcast was Rogers

613
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,960
getting frustrated with any of
his offensive lineman.

614
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,640
And what that tells me now,
maybe that happened after the

615
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,400
fact, maybe it happened during
the game and they just air it,

616
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,600
you know, it wasn't on camera.
But usually when something like

617
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,760
that happens and the quarterback
gets frustrated, there's a

618
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,240
camera on them all the time and
they will show that frustration.

619
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,600
So not seeing that leads me to
believe that Aaron Rodgers

620
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,560
understands exactly what kind of
situation he's in.

621
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,320
And he is able to adjust his
game to say, all right, not

622
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,480
every play is going to be, you
know, I'm, I'm going to get an

623
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,640
eternity in a pocket.
I'm going to have to be on the

624
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,680
move.
They played well together.

625
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,760
It was encouraging.
When it comes to the run game,

626
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,520
if you draft Caleb Johnson, I've
been saying this since day one,

627
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:52,280
you start Caleb Johnson.
I never said Jalen Warren was a

628
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,440
starting running back.
He was.

629
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,720
He's never been a number one.
He's just good for the role that

630
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,880
he plays.
Gainwell it, it seemed to me,

631
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,760
and I texted you guys during
this, during the game, it seemed

632
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,080
to me like Gainwell was the
number one back.

633
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,159
He was, you know, he had the
most snap.

634
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:10,120
He was.
Yesterday.

635
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,400
Right.
And he was.

636
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,639
What in the hell are we doing?
OK, you drafted Caleb Johnson

637
00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:19,760
for a reason.
Put him in there on 1st down.

638
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,679
You have got a young offensive
line with a young running back.

639
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,280
They're going to understand each
other better.

640
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,520
Let him learn now or he's going
to end up up being absolutely

641
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,679
nothing.
You know what you have in Jayla

642
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:37,440
Moran, What you have in Jayla
Moran is 1/3 down back who's

643
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,719
good for a spark.
What you have in Kenneth

644
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,880
Gainwell is experienced special
teams.

645
00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:44,880
He popped out that fumble,
right?

646
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,560
And, and, but, but that running
back room, they have no idea

647
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,040
what they're doing with that.
Yeah, they do.

648
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,719
Well, I mean, this is you're an
apologist or?

649
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,800
No, I'm just telling you they
know what they're doing.

650
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,280
Well, what I mean by they don't.
You don't like what they're

651
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,600
doing, but they know what
they're.

652
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,680
Doing what I but I think what I
mean by that is that it's not

653
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:03,960
going to work.
They don't know what they're

654
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,120
doing.
It's not going to work.

655
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,960
It definitely didn't work
yesterday.

656
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,920
I mean, when you when you have
Kenneth Gainwell and Jalen

657
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:17,160
Warren in for 5055 of the 57
snaps, something is up there.

658
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,800
Something's definitely wrong.
And I don't know what it is, but

659
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,760
I and I can already hear Coach T
getting the question.

660
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,640
So, you know, why didn't you
play Caleb Johnson?

661
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,520
Well, we're bringing him along
slowly.

662
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,320
He's still learning the
playbook.

663
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,520
To be honest, I think that's
probably all it is.

664
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,440
That's what that's what they're
going to say.

665
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,880
And what are you going to say to
that?

666
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,800
That's stupid.
Look, that's all it is.

667
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:39,600
You.
Can say that.

668
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,760
Remember, they didn't, they
didn't play JPJ until somebody

669
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,440
got hurt.
Yeah, right.

670
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,200
They just, they just don't.
Game three, it's.

671
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,040
Like he doesn't like playing
rookies.

672
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:51,920
No, he doesn't and he won't.
I mean, clearly Gainwell just

673
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,760
got on this team this year and
he's now the number one back

674
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:00,040
because he's a veteran and he he
and he's a proven commodity and

675
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,120
he feels more comfortable with
those guys.

676
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,240
And that's on Coach T That's not
that's not on anybody else but

677
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,520
Coach T Coach T can say, Caleb
Johnson, get out there, you're

678
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,920
running with the first team at
any point.

679
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,280
He can do that and he just won't
do it.

680
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,720
Hey, Marvin Hamilton's in the
house.

681
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:19,720
Hey, Marvin, what's up?
Hey, Marvin, a lot of game.

682
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:21,640
What?
What, what was his comment

683
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,600
there?
A lot of the games were close.

684
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,120
Yeah, there were a lot of games
that were close.

685
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:32,000
So let let's talk about after
you go to theporcheslive.com,

686
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,040
you can watch everything,
subscribe to everything there.

687
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,200
That's our website,
theporcheslive.com.

688
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,640
Let's talk about the wide
receiver room, the grades.

689
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:46,960
I I would give them overall, I,
I would actually give them an A.

690
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,040
And the reason I would do that
is that, you know, first of all,

691
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,080
DK Metcalf, he showed up, he
made some big plays.

692
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,360
Looks like he has a connection
there.

693
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,080
He can run after that, that one
catch on the on the right

694
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,040
sideline that he turned.
Yeah, the catch and run.

695
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,480
We haven't had a guy like that
in a while.

696
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,480
We've never had a receiver that
big either.

697
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:10,760
True.
You know, did Calvin Austin, did

698
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,640
he do enough to to become a #2?
We're going to address that

699
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,120
next.
But his play in that game

700
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,840
scaronic with the first
touchdown, by the way, which I

701
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,200
think we do have a clip of here
that that we will will play.

702
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,120
Let's look at that.
And he said some of what he's

703
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:30,760
doing now is similar to what he
did in Buffalo.

704
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,400
He just had to clear some of the
cobwebs.

705
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:42,000
Play action Rogers on time.
Scarlett.

706
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,880
It actually looks good when you
rewind.

707
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,840
I'm.
Telling you I'm telling you so

708
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,400
you know I'll.
Tell you what, Scaronic is

709
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,800
lightning fast.
I almost didn't see him did.

710
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,480
Did he catch it?
Yeah, so I mean, I, I, I, I give

711
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,160
overall, I give them a grade of
a.

712
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,840
What about you, Grant Schwabini?
I'll give him AB Plus, you know,

713
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,520
I think any time a guy like
Scaronic scores a touchdown,

714
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,960
that's that's a big thing.
I also think it takes a

715
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,200
quarterback like an Aaron
Rodgers to to find a guy like

716
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,320
Scaronic for a touchdown.
I mean, I don't know, but I'm

717
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,640
guessing it was his third read,
if not 4th.

718
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,560
DK Metcalf.
He you know, he, he did play

719
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,600
really nicely.
He did drop I think 2 balls.

720
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,000
He did the very first ball, you
know, got thrown.

721
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,560
So, you know, maybe he was a
little bit over hyped for his

722
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,040
first game as a Steeler.
And I really like what I saw

723
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:46,320
from CA-3, you know, your
favorite Steeler Schwab player,

724
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:52,280
but you know nothing from
nothing from what's the name

725
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,000
again?
Wilson.

726
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,160
Roman Wilson.
Roman Wilson But again, is it

727
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,720
his fault?
Probably not.

728
00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:01,760
He's just probably not on the
field because Tomlin doesn't

729
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,600
like him.
I mean, I, I don't know what it

730
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,480
is, but, but no, I wouldn't give
him an A just simply because,

731
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,640
you know, I need somebody to
have over 100 yards and, and you

732
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,040
know, 2 touchdowns to, to give
the unit as a whole an A.

733
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,800
Oh, believe it or not, Roman
Wilson was on the field for 10

734
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,000
snaps as much as Chronic was.
All special teams.

735
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,320
And Scotty Miller was on the
field for 9 snaps.

736
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,280
No, these are offenses.
Are they OK?

737
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,920
Yeah.
So I don't know, I guess I agree

738
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,440
with a lot of what you guys
said, especially I'd like to see

739
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,960
more Roman Wilson, but I'm not
going to complain when a guy

740
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:44,360
likes chronic gets a touchdown
2500 to one on the touchdowns

741
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,680
yesterday.
So if you put a dollar down on

742
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,840
him, good for you.
But we don't bet here on the

743
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,560
porch.
Never, No.

744
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,600
Anyway, so you're I, I I like, I
like wide receivers.

745
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,880
I'm giving them an AI think they
I, I, I don't think there's much

746
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,840
room to get better than than
yesterday.

747
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,840
And if you do have a gambling
problem, call 1800 Gambler.

748
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,280
All right, so we're a great for
the wide receivers.

749
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,920
I gave them an A just because
overall, you know, they were In

750
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,200
Sync and they were open and
Rogers was getting them the

751
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:24,000
ball.
Schwabini B plus because he he

752
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:30,160
wanted 100 yard receiver, HJ
gives him an A great win.

753
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,320
Defense scared the shit out of
me, you know, for that.

754
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,680
Go for that says go for that,
hit that, go snag button.

755
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,760
Let's go for that.
Defense scared the shit out of

756
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,600
everybody yesterday.
Let's go for that and that.

757
00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:46,160
Not until Ramsey knocked the
ball out of Wilson's hands did

758
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,200
everybody kind of take a big
sigh of relief and say, well, at

759
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,840
least the game's over now.
Not not important, says Chris

760
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,280
Shotta.
But I'd like to say the helmet

761
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,160
Rogers has to wear is too big.
Looks like Spaceballs.

762
00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,080
I love that.
Movie.

763
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,960
Great movie, good reference.
Chris yeah, absolutely.

764
00:41:02,240 --> 00:41:05,360
So yeah, I mean it's.
For you know why I'm sorry, this

765
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,720
goes back to this is a new the
new helmet he has to wear.

766
00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:11,560
He he used to wear that other
helmet that didn't have as much

767
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,720
padding in.
He can't wear that this year.

768
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,800
So this is the first time he's
wearing a bigger helmet.

769
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,440
So that's why you noticed Chris,
because every other picture with

770
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,560
with Aaron Rodgers is with that
smaller helmet.

771
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,040
I bet he hates it too.
I wish somebody would ask him

772
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:31,040
that question.
OK DK, has a true #1 arrived?

773
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:37,920
My answer is yes.
Well I I feel like this question

774
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,520
was already answered before the
season started.

775
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,560
I, well, I, by true, what I mean
is, you know, I was skeptical

776
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,560
about this.
I was skeptical about him being

777
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,480
like the number one we're
looking for.

778
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,280
So I, well, I think he, I think
he proved that yesterday.

779
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,200
Well, here.
Here's I'm no longer skeptic.

780
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,920
No, I understand.
See basically I'll my comment

781
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,880
will help our viewers in terms
of why you understand.

782
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,680
Here we go.
You wonder the reason why you

783
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:11,680
were skeptical is because he
didn't have wide receiver one

784
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:16,640
statistics every year.
However, the reality is, if you

785
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:20,960
watch the game, you know he's a
#1, right?

786
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,480
Yeah, the way he took off when
he caught that ball, only a

787
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,920
number one wide receiver can do
that with that speed and his

788
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,120
size and let, hey, he was up
against Sauce Gardner, probably

789
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,120
the best cornerback in the
league, and he still caught 3

790
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:35,920
balls for almost 80 yards.
Yeah.

791
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,280
So I mean, let let's go.
I mean, I I think there's

792
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,920
nothing but up for him.
And I think only doing that,

793
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,760
doing that in the in plus he
dropped the first couple.

794
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,560
Like you said, maybe a little
bit of jitter hasn't played with

795
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,160
Aaron so much, but I think
that's all behind him now.

796
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,240
I think, I think this he's got a
big ceiling.

797
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,200
I'll tell you what, next week
they got the Seahawks.

798
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,680
He's playing his old team.
I see a 2 touchdown game, the

799
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,400
Grand Swabini predicts.
All right, did Calvin Austin the

800
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:10,240
Third do enough this game to
solidify the fact that he should

801
00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:12,560
be the number 2 receiver?
Yes.

802
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,120
No, simply because it's a dumb
question.

803
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:20,320
Nobody becomes a #2 receiver
with one good game.

804
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:26,080
But I will say it has me
thinking maybe he can be a very

805
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,960
good #2 receiver.
Let's see.

806
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,600
I'm so.
So it's not a dumb question,

807
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:31,600
it's.
A dumb question.

808
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,920
You're answering the question.
It's a dumb question.

809
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,600
Why don't?
You start asking all the damn I,

810
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:42,600
I'll be happy to.
No, I think Jesus, I think they,

811
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:45,400
I think they have a lot of hey
guys, I've said this already and

812
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,440
I'll keep continuing to say it.
Calvin Austin, the third is the

813
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,440
#2 receiver last week.
You don't know who the number 2

814
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,440
receiver is going to be against
Seattle.

815
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:56,280
It that's just the way this
offense is going to be.

816
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,600
There's not ever going to be a
number two.

817
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,320
Hey, if Calvin Austin continues
to do this all season long, you

818
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,000
better pick him up on fantasy
because he's going to be worth a

819
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,600
ton.
That's true, that's true.

820
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,600
I I am in the wait and see
category still.

821
00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:18,480
What I do think is going to be
big for him is not necessarily

822
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:23,840
him rising up to be a number 2,
so to speak, but the fact that

823
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,800
Aaron Rodgers knows how to
distribute the ball and that

824
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,560
that's more to your point,
Steve.

825
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,760
Yeah, right.
That, you know, maybe next week

826
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,320
Jonnu Smith is number 2.
You could tell that Jonnu Smith

827
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,760
was just kind of well, but you
know what I mean, not wide

828
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,400
receiver.
He's. #2 it's ball.

829
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,400
Distribution second used.
You could tell that Jonnu Smith

830
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,920
was kind of his role in the
offense this week in the scheme

831
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:54,920
was more more simplicity,
simplicity sake instead of

832
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,320
putting him at risk, like kind
of trying to work him in.

833
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,320
And so the plays he made were
safe, but they contributed.

834
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,640
I'm looking forward to seeing
him play a little bit more.

835
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,120
And they also didn't open their
whole playbook for this for this

836
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,080
game.
So there's a lot more to come.

837
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,880
And and and you know, that being
said, Steelers Nation, I I do

838
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,680
think there's reason to be
excited about this offense this

839
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:22,760
year, mostly because we haven't
seen fireworks like yesterday

840
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,240
and yesterday we didn't even
Yeah.

841
00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:27,040
And yesterday we didn't even
have a running game.

842
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,960
And it felt like with Rodgers
back there at at any given time,

843
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,720
I was like, yeah, he'll make a
throw third and seven.

844
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,240
I'm not, I'm not worried.
He's got a better chance of, of

845
00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:40,120
getting a verse down than
Russell Wilson did because you

846
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,360
know, he's going to make sure
the ball goes 7 yards in the

847
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,320
air, right?
You know, So if there's a catch

848
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:45,640
mate.
As long as he doesn't get

849
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,160
sacked, you know what's going to
happen.

850
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,200
Right, right.
Show that comment for.

851
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,280
Let's go for that.
What is?

852
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,560
CTE one.
The NFL is getting soft.

853
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,320
They won't let the QB's get CTE
anymore.

854
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,200
Yeah, I don't know.
I think plenty of them get it

855
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,120
anyway.
I think they're.

856
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,320
Just, well, the NFL cares a lot
about their player.

857
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,440
Yeah, obviously.
I didn't think there was really

858
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,320
any soft falls in this game, did
you?

859
00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:12,680
I thought it was a chippy game.
I didn't expect it to be so

860
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,480
physical.
Like when Cam came off the bench

861
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,080
during that brawl.
That was dumb.

862
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,200
He could have gotten.
Yeah, now.

863
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,680
Yeah, I was thinking is not only
did you ruin your reputation

864
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,480
with that contract stuff, now
you're gonna jump off the bench

865
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,280
and get a penalty.
And here's your first Tyree

866
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,320
kill.
Are the Are the Steelers getting

867
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,160
Tyree kill?
Kingston that's a no.

868
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:36,680
I'll tell you what though,
Miami.

869
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,200
Miami's sort of looking like
they might be really bad this

870
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:40,920
year.
Yeah.

871
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,560
And if he is, if they are, then
Tyreek or Waddle could get

872
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,880
traded at the deadline.
Waddle Waddle got hurt.

873
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:48,840
Well, in this.
Oh, did he?

874
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,000
Yeah.
The Steelers do have a lot of

875
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:55,760
draft picks next year.
So yeah, I mean, do do I think

876
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,720
that the Steelers are going to
get Tyreke?

877
00:46:57,720 --> 00:46:59,480
No, I I don't think they're
going to get him.

878
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:04,560
But if that came up, then they
do have some capital to play

879
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:05,680
with.
They do they.

880
00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:07,200
Do have some capital?
To do that.

881
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,520
Yeah, to do it so.
Well, you know who else might be

882
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,360
available?
This wouldn't be to like 4th or

883
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,800
5th week.
Chris Godwin could be available.

884
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,840
Yeah, that's possible.
Because that that rookie down in

885
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,560
Tampa Bay's got it going on.
Yeah.

886
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,160
And there's no room for him, so
he might be available too.

887
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,040
So I, I don't, I don't who knows
what the Steelers are going to

888
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,040
do anymore.
They, they surprised me in the,

889
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:31,040
in the past two or three years
with, with what they do with the

890
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,960
go get a player.
They never used to do that, but

891
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,120
it's possible.
I'm I wouldn't roll it out.

892
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,560
Marvin says.
I think we can possibly win our

893
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,120
first four games.
Yeah, I, I, I think last week

894
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,280
when we made our pick.
I think Swabini had him go on

895
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:45,600
five and oh.
Yeah, I did.

896
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,160
Yeah, I.
Did go back to last week's show?

897
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,400
Listen to it on the podcast and
you'll let you'll hear our

899
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,200
Game to lose New England,
absolutely.

900
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,520

Don't know if you're your.
Gender when I saw when I saw

946
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:14,320
defense W, it's an easy when I
saw defense W before I went to

947
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:17,640
the for the what I thought the W
was for withdrawal.

948
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,400
They just, they just withdrew
from the game defense.

949
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,040
Withdrew from the game?
That's probably more likely.

950
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,000
All right.
They made the stops at the end

951
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,760
when they absolutely needed.
They did.

952
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:32,000
I'm not I I'm still giving them
an F, but yeah, I guess you

953
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,640
can't give them an F for the the
two stops at the end, but.

954
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,720
Well, here's the thing.
Splash plays, but overall grade

955
00:50:38,720 --> 00:50:46,080
poor.
So I give the defense AD, not an

956
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:51,640
F, and the reason I give the
defense AD is because they held

957
00:50:51,680 --> 00:51:00,280
The Jets to 200, just over 200
yards passing and Jalen Ramsey

958
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,640
made that pro all pro hit at the
end of the game to knock the

959
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,960
ball loose.
Only Jalen Ramsey or a guy of

960
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,400
his caliber is going to do that.
We didn't have anybody that

961
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,080
would do that the last few
years.

962
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,640
Huge plays are what matter in
games and the only thing that

963
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,000
matters at the end of the game
is the score.

964
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,240
So he made that play, kept the
score what it was.

965
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:25,080
They ran it out.
They get AD mostly because this

966
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:29,840
running defense is horrible.
And, and I'm, I'm not saying

967
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:33,160
that any anything anybody didn't
see, but I think the issue is

968
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:37,600
it's a carryover from last year.
And, and again, Cam Hayward

969
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,600
didn't do anybody any favors by
holding out 'cause he's

970
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,880
obviously not in game shape.
And I think the defensive line

971
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,240
is a much bigger concern than
the offensive line cause the O

972
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:51,560
line is still young.
Jones did look horrible.

973
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,560
By the way, they've been young
for three years now.

974
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,240
I know.
But now they're finally all

975
00:51:55,240 --> 00:51:57,480
playing together, which is not
happening.

976
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,560
I mean, Samalu had a tough game
this game.

977
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,680
They all had a tough game.
Yeah, he wasn't playing, I

978
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,280
thought, I thought.
I saw him.

979
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,800
On the I don't think he was.
I thought I saw his hair.

980
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,520
Look it up.
Yeah, he, he was.

981
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:13,680
He was out there.
Was he?

982
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,720
Right, thank you very much.
I saw his hair and he.

983
00:52:15,720 --> 00:52:17,560
Played in almost every step.
Thank you.

984
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:19,360
Very much.
He played the whole freaking

985
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,120
game.
So the point.

986
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,200
Is he got the best grader?
If I'm worried about anything,

987
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,760
I'm worried less about the
offensive line.

988
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,480
I'm very worried about that run
defense.

989
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,240
You know, they got the Seahawks
coming into town next week.

990
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,520
HJ and I are going to be at the
home opener.

991
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,520
We'll be doing some.
Broadcast from down there.

992
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:41,320
Boy, look at.
I'm telling you that that who's

993
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,240
that kid in a Walker?
Kenneth Walker.

994
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,520
KW to three.
I'm telling you man, I am

995
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,880
seriously worried about this
defensive line.

996
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,520
KW 3 versus CA.
Three I ain't worried about.

997
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,440
Him.
Let's see here Pat off track Max

998
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,640
Kepler Cade with runners and
score.

999
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,160
Yeah, he's giving.
Us.

1000
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,840
Oh my God.
Oh my God.

1001
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,880
Pat, what's wrong with you?
Yeah, seriously.

1002
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,800
Save it for the Philly show.
Average pass attempt last year

1003
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:12,600
20.4 Average pass attempt in the
last four games last year 2027.2

1004
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,640
pass attempts.
Mr. Tommy.

1005
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,400
Game one this season 32.
The defense is turning in the

1006
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,560
wrong direction.
Need to fix this ASAP.

1007
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:22,960
Absolutely feel the steal
fellas.

1008
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,600
I played defensive end.
What Fields did yesterday was

1009
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,640
due to lack of adjustment by
Steelers defensive coordinator.

1010
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:34,040
I went versus option QB's and my
only assignment was to smash the

1011
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,400
QB no matter what.
It's funny.

1012
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,800
Feel the steal because that's
exactly what HJ was texting me

1013
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:44,240
during the game he was saying.
Oh, and Mr. Tommy meant points

1014
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:45,200
again.
Sorry, guys.

1015
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,680
He was saying that, you know,
you got to look for the

1016
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:54,680
defensive adjustments and that
the reason that Tomlin's abysmal

1017
00:53:54,720 --> 00:53:59,880
second-half record when he's
down at the half is so bad is

1018
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:02,120
because he is so bad at making
adjustments.

1019
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,720
Yeah.
And, and I think they'll get

1020
00:54:04,720 --> 00:54:07,520
there, but it's an excellent
point to feel that steal.

1021
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:14,560
So, you know, overall good win
as far as the team is concerned.

1022
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,440
You didn't want to go up into
New York and lay an egg.

1023
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:22,280
We got the home opener next.
They almost did.

1024
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:24,840
Yeah, If it wasn't for Baz.
Can't say enough about Baz right

1025
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,000
now.
Just can't say enough about it.

1026
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:30,000
Did you hear?
A special teams otherwise no, I

1027
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,800
mean minus the fumble thing.
I just they were terrible.

1028
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,880
I want to talk about.
I want to talk about was it last

1029
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,680
night's game?
No, it wasn't last night's game.

1030
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:42,360
Maybe it was the 4:00 game.
Green Bay, Detroit.

1031
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,080
Yeah.
Detroit But wait a minute, one

1032
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:50,360
of one of the announcers said as
as a field goal went through and

1033
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,880
just barely went missed.
Yeah, I saw that he.

1034
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:56,440
Said and he massages it through.
Did you see that?

1035
00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:00,800
No, I I saw something different.
Yeah, no, he goes and and Prater

1036
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:05,360
massages it through, you know,
and it's like, yeah, isn't that

1037
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:06,440
kind of.
Justin Tucker.

1038
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,640
Isn't that kind of the wrong
phrase to use when her?

1039
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,000
I didn't know you guys saw that.
He could get banished.

1040
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,680
But here's something I want to
talk about real quick before we

1041
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,040
get into our picks for this year
and then what we're watching.

1042
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:18,720
Real.
You mean this week?

1043
00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:21,000
This week, this week.
Thank you real quick.

1044
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:26,480
Watch the the Bills Ravens game
last night.

1045
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,880
Amazing what Lamar Jackson can
do.

1046
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:38,240
Amazing what Josh Allen can do.
Yet it comes down to a field

1047
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:43,440
goal and you know it was one of
the better games I've seen on

1048
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:45,280
Sunday Night Football in a long
time.

1049
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,240
Sure, they have some good ones
on Sunday night.

1050
00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:52,480
Too sure the Steelers cannot
keep up with these two teams.

1051
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,440
Let's let's.
Just no way.

1052
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,800
Let's let's not go there.
But Baltimore is O and 1, and

1053
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,040
that's a good start, right?
And we have to play the Bills.

1054
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:05,240
That's a good start and you have
to play the Bills and the

1055
00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:08,640
Ravens.
So, you know, we got to get

1056
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,240
that.
I guess what I was while I was

1057
00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:15,600
watching Derrick Henry run for
180 yards in a lost, all I could

1058
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:20,240
think about was wow, if they had
played the Steelers this week,

1059
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:24,160
he to run for 300 yards.
I mean so.

1060
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:25,920
He would have fumble though
number.

1061
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,960
One Well, I mean, you know,
everybody fumbles once in a.

1062
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:32,040
While you know but.
When you fumble and it will cost

1063
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,880
your team the game, then you
didn't really do your.

1064
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,480
Job, you know, the one thing I
would say is that it was a great

1065
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,200
game.
It was a fun game to watch, but

1066
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:46,440
me personally, I don't I don't
really put something into the

1067
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:54,360
category of a great game when
one team sort of gets lucky and

1068
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,760
gives it away.
Like I I prefer the great game

1069
00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:59,520
to be just great all the way
through.

1070
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,560
Like, you know, tip pass,
touchdown.

1071
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,280
I mean, look, bottom line is, is
that the pass that Josh Allen

1072
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,760
threw at that moment in time
should have lost them in the

1073
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:14,960
game and it didn't because he
got lucky and, you know, and and

1074
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,840
the Ravens should have won the
game had Derrick Henry not been

1075
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,800
careless with the football.
And to me, it didn't really seem

1076
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,920
like, you know, it was a great
defensive play knocking the

1077
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:28,400
football out.
That's different.

1078
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,720
It was almost like he just
bobbled it away.

1079
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,800
You know, So like to me, like
those aren't like, it wasn't

1080
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,320
like an amazing thing to me
because I didn't feel like the

1081
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:41,360
Bills completely earned it.
I feel like the Ravens lost it.

1082
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,680
Well, as long as we're looking
at other teams, the good thing

1083
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:49,480
you can say is in the AFC North
we we probably look the best.

1084
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,280
Yeah, they did.
They did.

1085
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,000
Unfortunately, the you have to
go there and that's not true

1086
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,640
because the Ravens probably look
the best, but they lost Well,

1087
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,720
but so that's.
But they gave up 42.

1088
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:04,440
They gave up 42 points.
They lost and and they lost.

1089
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:08,720
So I don't know that maybe the
AFC North isn't isn't as good as

1090
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,840
I thought it was going to be.
But when you look at US versus

1091
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,560
those other two, the other two
teams, the Bengals, who you

1092
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,680
know, probably should have lost
to the Browns, I guess you could

1093
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,200
say we should have lost to The
Jets and the Baltimore should

1094
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:23,440
have won.
But what happened?

1095
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,960
The two teams that should have
lost one and the team that

1096
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,800
should have won lost.
So that's, that's the, that's,

1097
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,120
that's NFL, right?
There.

1098
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,240
Right there in a nutshell, Are
we getting our picks for this

1099
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:35,240
week?
Let's do it.

1100
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,600
What we're going to do now is
every week we pick three games,

1101
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,280
the Thursday night game, the
Sunday night game at a random

1102
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:47,760
game, and we make our picks.
Last week, last week we took

1103
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:51,160
Dallas at Philly.
All three of us had Philly, KC

1104
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:55,400
at the Chargers, Me and Steve
had the Chargers, Mark had KC,

1105
00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:01,120
Baltimore at Buffalo, the Grand
Schwabini and HJ had Baltimore

1106
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,960
and yours truly, the TD had
Buffalo, and Oh my God, what

1107
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,720
does that mean?
Breaking news Breaking news for

1108
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:11,520
the first time in years.

O one week of pride.

1110

And the Grand Schwabini is one
in two, one in two.

1111
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:21,280
What?
The heck?

1112
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:25,040
What is going on?
Son of a Gun the.

1113
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,280
Walls are close.
Son of a Nutcracker.

1114
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,480
So what are we going to do?
Well, we're going to pick three

1115
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,560
games this week.
We're going to pick commanders

1116
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,880
at Packers.
That's your Thursday night game.

1117
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:43,000
Let's start.
Hji Don't care that I won.

1118
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,240
I don't.
Have this is easy, Green Bay.

1119
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:50,360
It's not even going to be close.
I will also go the pack.

1120
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:57,680
OK, and I'm a Homer.
I'm taking the Commanders next

1121
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:58,760
game up.
What's your pick in the

1122
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:00,320
comments?
Let's put them there.

1123
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:05,480
Let's see here.
Bills won but didn't deserve it.

1124
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,440
There's a salary cap and the
ball bounces funny.

1125
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:12,080
The ball does bounce.
He's no, but he's right about.

1126
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:13,400
That's what my mom always used
to say.

1127
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,640
It's the shape of the ball.
It's not easy to pick up.

1128
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,920
It's not easy to pick up.
She was right, Feel the Steel

1129
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,000
says at the sports Sports
clicked on live and your podcast

1130
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,000
showed up.
Steelers since six years old,

1131
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,640
when the homeboy started calling
me Little Frank, Yeah.

1132
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:29,800
All right.
All right, Little Frank.

1133
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,640
Listen, your new nickname.
That was Little Frank.

1134
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:35,240
Listen feel, this should be Lil.
Frank.

1135
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:37,920
Feel the steel Li.
Apostrophe L.

1136
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:42,480
Feel the frank, feel the steel.
I am going to put our e-mail

1137
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:49,480
address in the comments OG
sportsporch@gmail.com.

Send me your address.
We're going to send you some

1139
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:56,040
draft gear and a little bag.
So actually I'm going to put it

1140
01:00:56,040 --> 01:01:02,120
up here in on the on the screen
there OG Sports ports@gmail.com.

1141
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,080
Feel the steal?
We'll get you a draft bag, maybe

1142
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,320
a hat, some other stuff.
I'll get that out to you this

1143
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,320
week.
Just e-mail me your address and

1144
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,360
then I won't use it for anything
else, I promise.

1145
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,600
Him, he doesn't know technology
that well, no.

1146
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,080
Not that well, I only run this
show that's.

1147
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:21,880
All exactly as I recall.
I think I set up the camp.

1148
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,960
All right, the next pick,
Atlanta at Minnesota.

1149
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,000
But why did you pick this game?
Atlanta.

1150
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:29,280
This.
Sunday Sunday night game.

1151
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:31,760
Oh, what a terrible Sunday night
game.

1152
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:35,680
Well.
HJ.

1153
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:41,160
Oh, I get to go first.
But Minnesota, I'm not, I'm not,

1154
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,280
I'm not in Atlanta.
I'm not an Atlanta believer.

1155
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:46,960
I, I, I like Minnesota.
It's hard to know because

1156
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,400
they're playing tonight.
Right.

1157
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:49,960
So it's like we haven't even
seen him play.

1158
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:51,840
We haven't even seen JJ
McCarthy.

1159
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,760
I mean.
I could be I can't switch my

1160
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,440
pick so I'll I'll go with.
Minnesota by the way, just if it

1161
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,440
affects anything, I'll I'll give
you an opportunity to change

1162
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,800
your pick.
They are down in the 1st 7.

1163
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,360
Nothing to the Bears.
No, I think the Bears are going

1164
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,440
to be good.
It wouldn't surprise me if

1165
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,920
that'll be a shootout.
OK, Mike Lawrence takes the

1166
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:15,920
Vikings.
I am going to take Atlanta.

1167
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,240
Give me some bijon.
He looked great.

1168
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:23,320
Give me some Dijon for bijon.
This is tough.

1169
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,920
This is a tough one.
ATL, what do you think?

1170
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,560
My heart's with Minnesota.
You love the purple people?

1171
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:32,440
Yeah, my.
Heart's with.

1172
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,480
Their hearts with Minnesota.
Why?

1173
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:38,040
Minnesota, I I don't think
Atlanta has a very good team.

1174
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:39,920
That's just me.
OK?

1175
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,840
That's just me.
OK All right, This is a big one.

1176
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,560
Eagles at Chiefs, a Super Bowl
rematch.

1177
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,320
HJ What do you think about this
one?

1178
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,320
Could the Chiefs go?
Oh, and two.

1179
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:57,760
Well, I think the Chiefs are
going to have a down year, but

1180
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,640
I'm going to go with the Chiefs.
I, I don't, I don't really have

1181
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,440
a reason why.
It's just a gut feel that I have

1182
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:09,880
Chiefs.
Well, you know, I did my

1183
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,280
predictions on another show last
week and I picked the Chiefs to

1184
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,880
beat the Eagles.
I I have to say though, after

1185
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:21,000
watching week 1, I feel a little
better about the Eagles chances.

1186
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,680
I'm feeling like it could be a
down year for the Chiefs.

1187
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:30,080
But you know what, it's so hard.
It's it seems like the team that

1188
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,600
loses the Super Bowl always wins
the regular season match up the

1189
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,080
next year.
So I'm going to I'm going to

1190
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,120
take the Chiefs.
Eagles are still trying to work

1191
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,960
out some kinks, so I'll take the
Chiefs in this one.

1192
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,400
All right, Grant Schwabini takes
the Chiefs.

1193
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,120
I'm going with the Eagles.
He's got an opportunity.

1194
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,480
He's got an opportunity to build
on his lead.

1195
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:57,320
Well, I.
No, he took, he took the

1196
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:58,240
commanders.
So.

1197
01:03:58,480 --> 01:03:59,960
Well, that's true, but that was
a Homer.

1198
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,920
He could really get some
distance this week between us.

1199
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:07,000
No Chiefs, Chiefs, although my
heart says Eagles.

1200
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,000
Go with your heart, Mike.
Go with your heart.

1201
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,600
And your heart will go on.
That's how I went three and oh

1202
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,160
all of a sudden.
So there you have it.

1203
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:20,000
Those are our picks.
We'll go over them later on or

1204
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,800
next week after I go 3 and O
again and these guys go.

1205
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,560
That would be glorious if you
went six and O I'm not going to

1206
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,720
say what I would do.
Wow.

1207
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,960
By the way, Schwaber, I love
your hat.

1208
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:33,120
That's a great hat.
Yeah.

1209
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,520
Isn't it great you know they're
wearing these on the sidelines

1210
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:36,720
it.
Was the IT was the one that

1211
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:38,200
Aaron Rodgers was.
Wearing, I love it.

1212
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,120
It's just it's kind of like
understated.

1213
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:41,760
Yeah.
You know, it's very nice.

1214
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:42,520
Yeah.
Thank you.

1215
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:44,560
It's it's looks great.
Yeah, there you go.

1216
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:46,800

Yes, with the butter knife,
That's that's that's.

1230
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,480
And when we say all around the
world, we mean it, we got a

1231
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:32,600
Steelers contingent in Peru
that's been checking in.

1232
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,400
So that's right.
What's up, Peru?

1233
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,720
Yep, Patrick Donovan for some
reason.

1234
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,040
Pat off track.
Pat's had enough of us.

1235
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:40,640
He wants to go watch Monday
Night Football.

1236
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,280
Don't blame it back.
Good job, get back to the

1237
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,040
elderly.
All right, this is the part of

1238
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,480
the show that we love to do
because it's how we give back to

1239
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,480
you, because time is very, very
important in your life, and it's

1240
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,880
the one thing you cannot get
back unless you watch the

1241
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:55,520
sports, sports.
And I'm going to let the Grand

1242
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,720
Schwabini tell you how we do
that.

1243
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:07,200
Well, thank you, Christian, the
sports porch, we do the work for

1244
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:11,400
you, so you can take a break.
Take a break.

1245
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:13,880
You know, it's so darn hard,
right?

1246
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:15,680
You know what's the worst
feeling?

1247
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,760
When you finish that show and
you're and you were so into it

1248
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:20,920
and you were like, oh man, that
was good.

1249
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,280
And now you're like, what am I
going to watch next?

1250
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:24,680
You have no idea.
You have no idea.

1251
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,080
What are you going to do?
You going to run through 100

1252
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:28,640
trailers and you know what
happens?

1253
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,840
You can't find anything.
You end up going to bed mad and

1254
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,200
angry.
Well we want to take care of

1255
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,480
that for you.
We are going to watch show after

1256
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:41,440
show after show and we are going
to tell you whether it's a

1257
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:45,360
thumbs up or a thumbs down.
All you have to do to tell your

1258
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:49,440
friends and loved ones is the
guys at the sports porch said

1259
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:54,560
it's a 2 thumbs up and then you
got it on lock or two thumbs

1260
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,320
down.
Save yourself the despair.

1261
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:03,160
So there's only one rule and you
have to watch the season through

1262
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,200
the entirety.
The entire season.

1263
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:07,480
Or if it's a movie, you have to
watch it to the end.

1264
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,920
From beginning to end.
They're making fun of me but.

1265
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,680
And that's is it.
All right, field.

1266
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,720
And before we get there, field
the steel says.

1267
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:16,720
Cheers.
Sports, sports.

1268
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:17,720
Thank you.
Feel the steel.

1269
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:20,600

Week 1 expose our very weak

1272
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,600
offensive line.
Oh yeah, also our weak D line.

1273
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,160
No, Harmon will not fix it.
It's not the players.

1274
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:36,160
You have talent.
So yeah, we'll see when he comes

1275
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:37,800
back.
But he's not going to be back

1276
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,080
for a little while, Ron.
But you're right on.

1277
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,760
You got it right.
Offensive line, defensive line,

1278
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,640
need some help.
That's what we were just talking

1279
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,680
about for the last 45 minutes.
Check it out.

1280
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,480
Good to have you on the porch.
Yep, hit the subscribe button.

01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:00,680
in.
Oh, that's.

1285
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,640
You, my my wife and I might
actually start watching this

1286
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,920
You.
Must start tonight, OK.

1287
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,560
And if you don't start tonight,
you have to question.

1288
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:11,440
Your life.
Oh, OK.

1289
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:15,560
Well, I mean, football's on.
Well, I do love Tom Hardy and

1290
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,399
Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren.
So yeah, I mean, you get.

1291
01:08:18,399 --> 01:08:20,479
You're all great.
You love you, Helen Mirren.

1292
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,800
You.
Helen Mirren's pretty pretty

1293
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:23,880
boss.
You too, huh?

1294
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:25,800
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

1295
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:27,840
Mirren sauce.
I mean Helen Mirren.

1296
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,319
She's gonna be going down.
Yeah, I mean, like, this is a

1297
01:08:30,319 --> 01:08:33,720
woman who doesn't need to have
plastic surgery to still act,

1298
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:35,920
you know what I mean?
That is, she actually just

1299
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:37,880
connect.
Thank you, Ron Owens.

1300
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:39,800
Thank you very much.
Thanks, Ron.

1301
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,080
Yeah, This is a, This is AI
believe it's a.

1302
01:08:43,399 --> 01:08:44,880
And thank you.
Feel the steals.

1303
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:48,080
I think it's a 10 episode.
I think it's a 10 episode.

1304
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,200
There is a there is a season 2
coming out.

1305
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:52,439
I just thought it was really,
really good.

1306
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:56,359
I mean, you got really good
acting, you know, from the three

1307
01:08:56,359 --> 01:08:58,680
of these folks here and you
know, it.

1308
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,120
Look, it's, it's, it's got
everything that I love, right?

1309
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,720
It's got drugs.
It's got killing.

1310
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,080
Yeah.
That's all it's got.

1311
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:13,319
You know, who's smarter amongst
these folks?

1312
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,920
You know what I mean?
So it's essentially you're

1313
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:23,600
dealing with two rival, you
know, crime families in, you

1314
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:26,920
know, to be honest, I'm not
entirely sure if it's England or

1315
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:28,920
Ireland or Scotland, but.
It's.

1316
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,319
You should know, but it's just.
Great Britain.

1317
01:09:31,319 --> 01:09:33,240
It covers them all.
Yeah, but it's, you know, it's

1318
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,960
in that area.
They speak with a British

1319
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:39,399
accents, maybe Scottish, maybe
Irish, I don't know.

1320
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,359
But it's just a really good
story.

1321
01:09:42,359 --> 01:09:45,040
I mean, lot of stuff that you
don't expect to see.

1322
01:09:45,319 --> 01:09:50,760
Tom Hardy kind of plays the role
of fixer for Pierce Brosnan's

1323
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:55,640
crime family.
And it it, it's just, it's just

1324
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,160
really good.
You're, you're going to like it.

1325
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:01,000
There's, there's not a lot that
you can really predict ahead of

1326
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,840
times.
It's it's pretty that there's

1327
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,520
always people who, you know,
you're always kind of trying to

1328
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:10,600
figure out who's the rat.
And it's not always easy to

1329
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:12,600
figure out, but.
They tell you who it is.

1330
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:15,000
You do, you find out that's
always good.

1331
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,320
You find out so and, and, and it
comes, comes at you through a

1332
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,200
lot of different perspectives.
You know from you know,

1333
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:25,240
different folks within the crime
family from you know, the, the,

1334
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:31,000
the wife of, of you know of, you
know that the, the kingpin to,

1335
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:34,800
you know, the, you know, the the
police who are trying to put

1336
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,480
them away.
Just really good.

1337
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,640
Two thumbs up from the grand
choir beanie.

1338
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:43,280
All right, two thumbs up for mob
land on Paramount Plus.

1339
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,600
Feel the Steel said yes, watch
it.

1340
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,680
You'll be talking Irish next
Monday.

1341
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:53,080
There you go.
Now this I love Expunger Baby

1342
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:54,760
says.
This is one of the better live

1343
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,520
shows.
They're talking about us.

1344
01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:58,600
Well, thank you.
I think you're.

Talking about us, expunger baby,

1350
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,400

So Dracula likes.

1351

So thanks, expunger baby.

1352
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,880
Feel the steel Boardwalk Empire
2, fellas.

1353
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,400
Yeah, I thought about watching
that, but I'm not going to.

1354
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:26,760
You can see my dog in the back
here.

1355
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:29,480
Sassy's our mascot.
You call this no personality,

1356
01:11:29,480 --> 01:11:30,600
Schwaber.
I.

1357
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,920
Call it a pain in the ass.
It's it's OK, just I mean, not

1358
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:35,200
every dog.
She's sniffing your.

1359
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,640
Not every dog has a personality
and it's nothing to be ashamed

1360
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:39,000
of.
Poor.

1361
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:41,960
Poor Sassy, sassy.
Get off of me, dog.

1362
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,400
Come on.
Get off of me.

1363
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:45,240
Come on.
Come on.

1364
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:46,880
I think she's mad I moved her
bed.

1365
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:48,960
No, she wants to go upstairs.
That's what she wants.

1366
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:53,800
OK, back to what we're watching.
HJ watched something that I

1367
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,040
watched a little while ago and I
actually thought it was really

1368
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:57,760
good.
I'm I'm interested to see what

1369
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:02,480
you have to say. 30 for 34 Falls
of Buffalo, This was this is the

1370
01:12:02,480 --> 01:12:07,280
very old 30 for 30.
It's it's back from 2015.

1371
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,960
And I'm actually was kind of
timely because did you watch the

1372
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,320
beginning of that Buffalo where
they showed Marv Levy and he

1373
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,400
looked like he was basically
he's a. 100 He just turned 100

1374
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:19,720
years old.
It was his birthday.

1375
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:22,480
He looked, he looked, he looked
great in his video.

1376
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:26,120
And that's amazing because that
was, what, 10 years ago?

1377
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:31,560
It's amazing how quickly you age
when you turn from 90 to 100.

1378
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:36,680
Anyway, he would, he, he, he it
was just I, I forgot the things

1379
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:40,600
that happened to that team.
That team was so talented.

1380
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,240
Oh, yeah.
Bruce Smith, I mean, they just

1381
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,760
had everybody, they had
everything going on and they

1382
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,960
just ran into the the worst kind
of luck, like the third time

1383
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:53,600
they went to the Super Bowl.
Like, you know, Jim Kelly's knee

1384
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,480
blew out.
So he didn't even play in the

1385
01:12:55,480 --> 01:12:58,920
playoffs, Remember, right.
What what's his Frank?

1386
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:01,080
Frank Reich had to bring him
back from that.

1387
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:04,040
Big deficit.
And, and they did.

1388
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:05,720
And they ended up making the
Super Bowl.

1389
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,320
There were so many things about
that in the wide right.

1390
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:14,120
I knew this, but I forgot it.
You know, Scott Norwood was one

1391
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,560
for five from that distance, was
he?

1392
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:19,320
Yeah.
And and that was not a Gimme

1393
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,920
every. 47 or they were.
They were basically asking him

1394
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:25,120
to do something he was very poor
at.

1395
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:28,280
And The thing is like, so that
was the that was right after

1396
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:32,080
that was right after 911, right?
So they had Whitney Houston come

1397
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,000
out and sing, you know, national
anthem.

1398
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,280
That was a big thing.
But Bruce Smith said this and

1399
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:39,960
nobody else believes it.
I maybe wasn't Bruce Smith maybe

1400
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:42,840
was one of the other guys.
They said the helicopter, the

1401
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:47,000
Apache helicopter was there.
They swear it blew the ball out

1402
01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:48,840
of.
Ridiculous.

1403
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:52,880
But if you look, depending on
what angle you look at it, when

1404
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:56,720
you look at it from from the
back, I swear to God, it looks

1405
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:59,200
like it's coming right in and
then it just blows away.

1406
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:01,720
But if you look at it from
behind the kicker, it looked

1407
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:04,200
like it was going wide right
almost from the very beginning.

1408
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:09,360
So, you know, I, if I was a
Buffalo Bills fan, I would, I

1409
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:12,120
would watch this.
If you're a football fan, she'd

1410
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,960
go back and watch it because
you're going to relive that

1411
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:18,600
whole era where that team was
just so dominant and they just

1412
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,240
couldn't get it in.
And I, you know, I think people

1413
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:25,440
had, you know, Bill's fatigue
after so much, but it was, it

1414
01:14:25,440 --> 01:14:28,440
was, it was really crazy.
It was really crazy.

1415
01:14:28,440 --> 01:14:30,480
The Gulf War.
Yeah, it was the Gulf War,

1416
01:14:30,480 --> 01:14:31,280
right?
OK.

1417
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,360
It was the Gulf.
Not 911.

1418
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,080
Oh yeah.
Golf was the 99 the early. 90s

1419
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,360
My bad, Pat, Thanks for coming.
Back.

1420
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:41,280
Yes, Pat.
You know he's mental.

1421
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:43,960
But but by the way, I think it's
also too.

1422
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,880
It's one of the me anyway.
It's one of the biggest what ifs

1423
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,640
in sports.
If that field goal goes in, do

1424
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,080
they win for super?
Bowl.

1425
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,080
No, probably not.
Maybe.

1426
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:55,800
Maybe.
It doesn't matter.

1427
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:57,400
You don't get what over?
Well, you don't.

1428
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:59,240
You don't.
But, you know, it's same kind of

1429
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:03,840
thing with like, if Drew Bledsoe
doesn't get hurt, is Tom Brady a

1430
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,360
starting quarterback in the NFL?
Probably not.

1431
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:08,320
Maybe not.
Probably not.

1432
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,680
Maybe not, but.
Oh my goodness, you guys with

1433
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:15,160
your what is freaking crazy,
this is this is real life.

1434
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:18,840
They lost 4 Super Bowls.
They were a great team, and

1435
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:23,440
they're probably just like the
Minnesota Vikings and the Denver

1436
01:15:23,440 --> 01:15:25,400
Broncos.
They just couldn't get the job

1437
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:27,680
done well here.
Broncos eventually did.

1438
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,840
Minnesota never did.
Here, here's what, and I watched

1439
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:34,640
this like a year or so ago,
maybe two years ago here, here's

1440
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:39,280
my take away from this was it's
hard to win a Super Bowl.

1441
01:15:39,440 --> 01:15:42,920
Really hard to, to, to, to even
get there.

1442
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,840
Harder to win it.
They were able to keep it

1443
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:51,360
together for four straight years
and go, if you don't win the

1444
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,840
Super Bowl, though, you get
forgotten.

1445
01:15:55,080 --> 01:16:01,560
How often do we bring up in NFL
conversations anywhere, the

1446
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:05,400
Buffalo Bills of the 1990s?
Unless we're talking about

1447
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,040
teams.
A lot, actually.

1448
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:09,040
Yeah, because they were epic.
Because they went.

1449
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:11,440
To four epic.
Fails, but you didn't let me

1450
01:16:11,440 --> 01:16:15,240
finish, unless we're talking
about teams who failed epically.

1451
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:20,120
You know, like, like basically
what you were for those four

1452
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:24,520
years were absolutely the most
high-powered offense, one of the

1453
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:28,040
best defenses and one of the
best teams in football that

1454
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:32,240
football had ever seen.
Because what team has gone to

1455
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:36,400
four straight Super Bowls?
Not Bills, that the Vikings and

1456
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,520
the Bills.
I think the Vikings, no, I don't

1457
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:40,120
think lost four in the 70s, but
they.

1458
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:41,840
Didn't, but they didn't go to 4.
Straight, Yeah.

1459
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:46,160
So, you know, they are one of
the most unheralded teams of all

1460
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,280
time.
But it just goes to show you how

1461
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:51,520
important winning that Super
Bowl trophy is because there are

1462
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:54,440
guys that have won one trophy
that are mentioned more in

1463
01:16:54,440 --> 01:16:57,880
conversations than the Bills who
lost 4.

1464
01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:04,240
So you.
Know the Vikings Super Bowl 489

1465
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,600
and 11.
OK, so I mean, that's that.

1466
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:09,120
That's bad too. 4/4 within seven
years.

1467
01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:10,560
Yeah, that's bad too.
So what?

1468
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,720
We're watching.
But you don't talk about them as

1469
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:17,040
much. 4 falls, no.
Well, they're also relegating to

1470
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:18,760
history now they're way back.
There.

1471
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:21,320
That was a nice play on the
Niagara Falls.

1472
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:24,280
Yeah, 4 falls. 4 Falls of
Buffalo and.

1473
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:26,840
Every every time they lost, they
would show another fall and they

1474
01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:30,040
would put the the thumbs.
Up now, here's some I.

1475
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:32,920
Thought it was a good 30 for 30.
Yeah, it's a it takes a lot of

1476
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,160
time though.
I mean, it was like an hour, 40

1477
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:37,600
minutes.
It's it's a it's it's definitely

1478
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,080
they go in depth on those 30 for
30s.

1479
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:43,480
So I am going to be reviewing
something.

1480
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:48,720
I'm going back to my roots.
This is yes, it is a

1481
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:52,760
documentary.
It is called Katrina Come Hell

1482
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,240
and High Water.
I was waiting for you to do

1483
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:57,600
this.
Yes, it is on Netflix.

1484
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,360
Did you guys know that?
Katrina that.

1485
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,520
Woman take a stab at this one.
Hold on.

1486
01:18:03,440 --> 01:18:04,720
Go ahead.
Listen.

1487
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:08,000
Now actually, I don't even have
the heart to do it for this one,

1488
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:11,280
for our for.
Our new listeners and and

1489
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,440
viewers and long time people.
You know that when I watch

1490
01:18:14,440 --> 01:18:17,120
documentaries, mark likes to
describe them ahead of time

1491
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,640
because According to him, we
always know what happens in

1492
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,560
documentaries and that's a dumb
reason to watch them.

1493
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:28,400
But did you guys know that just
last week was the.

1494
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,400
Anniversary of 20th. 20th
anniversary of Yeah.

1495
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:38,840
Yeah, I didn't know that, but I
don't like to celebrate things

1496
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:41,960
that were horrendous.
Now here, here's why I watch

1497
01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:44,640
this one.
Normally I would not necessarily

1498
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:49,320
watch a weather related
documentary like this, but I was

1499
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:53,080
in Rehoboth Beach, DE during
Katrina with with a couple of my

1500
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:57,360
kids.
They were babies and the heat

1501
01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:01,320
was so intense down in Rehoboth
Beach, Rehoboth Beach that year

1502
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,440
that all the electricity was
going out.

1503
01:19:03,440 --> 01:19:07,040
We had absolutely no air
conditioning and then the air

1504
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:10,960
conditioners went when the
electricity came back on and we

1505
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:13,720
had these fans running in the
house and we didn't really know

1506
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:16,080
what to do with ourselves.
Was this in the documentary?

1507
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:20,160
No, but Katrina was on the
television and I watched that.

1508
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:25,240
I watched it for days and.
It's the OJ thing.

1509
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:27,680
You got sucked in.
Look, if you were alive during

1510
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:31,120
that time, this whole thing was
politicized in a huge.

1511
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:33,160
Way everybody blamed Bush for
it, right?

1512
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:35,200
And everybody blamed.
Created the herd.

1513
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,320
And everybody blamed everybody
else and all that kind of stuff.

1514
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,920
He didn't get the poor people.
Out what this does is it goes

1515
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,440
behind the scenes into the
parishes in New Orleans, what

1516
01:19:45,440 --> 01:19:48,800
those people experienced.
Then it goes to then it goes to

1517
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:54,040
30,000 feet what the government
was doing and talking about and

1518
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:57,120
they interview these people.
I feel like 20 years is kind of

1519
01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:00,560
like the the half life of well,
now we can tell the truth.

1520
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,440
You know what I mean?
Like because it's like.

1521
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:05,200
Enough people were out there
willing to tell the truth.

1522
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:08,560
They're out of their jobs.
So what are you saying it wasn't

1523
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,520
George Bush's fault?
It definitely not George Bush's

1524
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:12,840
fault.
Well, he didn't create the

1525
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:15,360
hurricane.
Well, it is the weather's fault,

1526
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:18,920
but did he not get aid down
there quick enough?

1527
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:20,840
No, here's Here's what happened
in a nutshell.

1528
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:27,280
The hurricane came and went and
the city survived.

1529
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:30,840
There was a lot of damage, but
there was there was very little

1530
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:34,040
water.
And a day after the hurricane

1531
01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:36,560
left.
So the storms are gone.

1532
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:39,600
The levees broke.
Right, right.

1533
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:43,440
Levees were built by the Army
Corps of Engineers 40 years ago.

1534
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,800
Yeah, and.
If the levees questionable and

1535
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:49,600
the well right the if the levees
hadn't broken, it would have

1536
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:52,800
ended up being a normal
hurricane, but not that anything

1537
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:54,000
about a hurricane is normal,
but.

1538
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:55,360
That one wasn't.
That one was huge.

1539
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:57,240
Right.
It was huge, but but it would

1540
01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:00,200
have been, it would have been
hurricane damage and all of the

1541
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,600
aftermath after that.
What happened when the levees

1542
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:07,560
broke is that the lower 9th Ward
and some of the other poorer

1543
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,480
areas that were at the bottom of
the soup bowl that is New

1544
01:21:10,480 --> 01:21:12,800
Orleans started filling up with
water.

1545
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:16,400
And then over the next two days,
the water kept rising and rising

1546
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:19,960
and rising and rising.
The mayor of New Orleans was not

1547
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,800
prepared for it.
The governor of Louisiana was

1548
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:23,960
not prepared.
For it.

1549
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:28,000
Nobody was prepared for it.
So in my opinion, it it really

1550
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:31,680
was nobody's fault.
It was something that that that

1551
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:36,840
the fault that you could put on
it is that they always knew that

1552
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:40,560
if levees broke, there would be
in it, this issue would come up.

1553
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:44,160
So you can fault every
government, you know,

1554
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:48,280
organization involved in an Army
Corps engineers, FEMA back for

1555
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,320
50 years because they had
another hurricane in like the

1556
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:55,760
60s that was pretty bad where
some of the levees broke for not

1557
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:57,960
upgrading and keeping these
things in shape.

1558
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:00,600
It's no one administration that
doesn't matter.

1559
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:04,160
It's a good insight into this
hurricane and how it actually

1560
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:04,840
happened.
I'm.

1561
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:07,960
Going to have to check that out.
Was it long?

1562
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,040
It is 3 episodes.
Oh, so it's one of those three,

1563
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,320
you know, hour, 20 minutes each
other.

1564
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,000
Yes, maybe a little less.
Yeah, it's worth.

1565
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:18,960
It's actually worth watching.
Because it was just.

1566
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,080
Back in our adulthood.
So it gives you a better, it

1567
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:24,400
gives you a better perspective
on the history of it.

1568
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:26,000
That and that's what I'm looking
for.

1569
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,560
I was looking for a little
perspective on the anniversary.

1570
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:32,000
Pat off track says my company
sent me to Dallas during Katrina

1571
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,720
as it raced over South Florida 4
star hotel.

1572
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,720
It was weird.
Well.

1573
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:41,560
Nothing.
Nothing about a weird 4 star.
