Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Let me give you the roadmap for our four original
recipe podcast five Stars helps us out a lot tele
a frame. So here in hour number four, on this
Wednesday hump Day, the twenty fifth day of September.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Mike Tomlin says he will not will not.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Be naming Justin Fields the QB one in Pittsburgh. What
is behind that decision? Also, Gardner Minshew kept the job
in Vegas. We'll talk about that, and we'll react to
a viral photograph involving Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan, a
couple of NFL head.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Coaches, all coming away right now. Enjoy the day.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's our number four, not not playing that fields or
that card. Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malors Show, the circus continues. We are in
the air everywhere townfolk, as we are a cosmic mystery

(01:07):
all night into the morning, coast to coast, border to
border and beyond. On the mast and ponderously powerful microphones
of fsre amminating live from the form as we are
in fighting form. We're broadcasting live from the Tirak dot

(01:28):
Com studios Tyraq dot Com will help you get there,
an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers. I know Shirley Scott
smiled ten thousand times after Carolina won that game the

(01:48):
other day tyraq dot com the way tire buying shoe.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Be so orleid.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
This hour is from the land of the inser, the
terrible towels, the now weekly, a weekly, a quarterback bingo
in the bird if you've not been keeping track, perhaps
not every week. The Steelers of Plate they have won,
and then immediately the question is, well.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
When are you gonna do it? When are you gonna
do it? Are you gonna are you gonna name Justin
Fields as to be number one?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
So yet again Steelers beat the Chargers, and now Mike
Tomlin if you didn't hear what he had to say,
he was asked one more time, what more?

Speaker 1 (02:35):
What more needed to be done from Justin Fields for
him to be named to be one? Why are you
not naming him to be one?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
And Mike Tomlin does not disappoint His response was poetic,
Let's go to the audio.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Tape because there's no need.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
No I explained to you the variables of a week,
it has not changed. He's gonna walk in this building
with that mindset tomorrow, and so I really there's no
need to Sometimes in this business man, there's a myriad
of complex decisions that need to be made. I've learned
to make them when it's appropriate and it's not necessary
as we sit here right now. When Russ gets to

(03:18):
an appropriate point of health and we have a decision
to make, I'll make it and I'll announce it and
I'll be really transparent about it. But until then, I
don't care how many ways you guys ask me. You know,
I got no intentions of making the decision that's unnecessary
at this juncture.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
All right, So let us discuss the question for the
Esteemed panel. You just heard it.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Mike Tomlin says, I'm not gonna name Justin Fields the
QB one.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Because I don't have to.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I don't have to right now because Russell Wilson is
not healthy.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
So what do you suppose is behind that statement?

Speaker 2 (03:55):
So I've got gymnastics, shuffle and shuck keel O'Neill, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to crash and burn. So the lead off,
Mike Tomlin. My theory on this is rather simple. My

(04:15):
hypothesis is the reason that Tomlin is reluctant to go
there is because he is not sold on Justin Fields.
He's not unpopular opinion because the way I look at this,
it's rather simple, injury or no injury. If Justin Fields

(04:35):
was playing at an elite level of football, this would
be a no brainer. And when I was a kid
growing up, I used to hear all the time, Oh,
you can't lose your job because of an injury.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Heard that all the time, But that went out the window.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
In my life in the NFL, I have seen Drew
Bledsoe and Trent Green, among others, lose their job.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Because they got hurt.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
They were horn swoggled by the likes of Tom Brady
and Kurt Warner. So really, what Tomlin is saying by
not answering the question is, well, Fields is not that guy.
You're not that guy. Pal, You're not that guy yet.
Maybe you'll be that guy, but you're not that guy.
So instead, Tomlin decided that he wanted to win the
gold medal in verbal gymnastics.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
He did some linguistic.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Somersaults and cartwheels and all that nice floor routine. But
here's the thing. Looks are deceiving. They're off in deceiving
a spoiler alert Justin Fields. I keep reading stories about
how amazing he is playing, and I'm like, oh, he's
all right. I thought he would be worse. I admit that,

(05:50):
but I'm not here to say that he's good. Because
what is ultimately the job in terms of producing offense
for for the team?

Speaker 1 (06:00):
It is points. If you're the.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Quarterback, it is passing yards, right, and Justin Fields is
leading the passing offense in Pittsburgh, which.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Is ranked twenty ninth in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
The only teams that are worse at passing the football
this year are Cleveland, the Chargers, and the Patriots. That's it.
That's the list. Their bottom of the barrel. But wait,
there's more. How about points per game?

Speaker 1 (06:30):
All right?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
The Steelers offense, even with all those highlight film runs
by Justin Fields, the offense overall is averaging a paltry
seventeen points per game.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
So there's thirty two teams in the NFL. Where does
that rank? That would be twenty fourth in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Now, I didn't play in the league, and I'm not
a big pundit.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I think that sucks. So Pittsburgh. Are they winning? Yes?
Is Justin Fie the reason they're winning?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
No, not really. And the thing about this, it's all
about defense. They have the number one defense in the NFL.
So Mike Tomlin knows that the defense is keeping the
fan base.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
What is the fan base, Mike in Pittsburgh? What are
they doing there?

Speaker 3 (07:20):
We want them to be fat and sassy and spoiled.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yes, it is our job, that's right. And the defense
is doing that. The offense is not.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
And so tom is leaving the door unlocked and opened
just a smidge, just a smidge. And I know that's
very upsetting to all the Russian bots online that worship
at the altar of Justin Fields.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
But he has been unremarkable. He's a little better than
he was in Chicago. But that's about it, all right. Furthermore,
the Raiders, the Raiders. We go to Vegas.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
The Raiders are sticking with my guy Gardner Minshew. This
after Antonio Pierce had flirted with a quarterback change.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Is that the right call? So I'm nodding my head.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yes, Antonio Pearce right now, all of a sudden went
from hero to zero.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Right, he's up to his neck and alligators.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
You've got the team beat the Ravens in Baltimore, and
now you've got guys lolly yagging around against Carolina, an
unforgivable sin. So despite all that, the reason you keep
going to the gardener you don't have a better option.
You don't have a better option under center. And going

(08:37):
from Gardner Minshew to Aid and O'Connell would be the
sideway shuffle, right, sideway shoveling. You're not upgrading the position,
in my opinion, you're downgrading it now Minshew.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
When everything is said and done, more is said than done.
We know that.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
But Gordon Minshew is a baseline quarterback the Raiders have
right now, just based on the numbers, the NFL's fourth
rank passing offense. Now, at the end of the year,
they'll probably be somewhere in the middle, somewhere in the
middle there. And the thing about Gardner Minshew, I know
enough about this guy. It's a zero some game that

(09:15):
he's he'll have a mix. There'll be a few games.
So he plays very well like he did in Baltimore. Now,
he wasn't terrible against Carolina. There were some other mitigating
factors there. But there will be games, maybe this week,
where he's horrific and is the reason they lose.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
But it's the five to five to five thing.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Five games he'll be pretty good, five games he'll be average,
five games he'll be bad, and then there's like two
other games that are a wildcard. And the issue for
the Raiders, the underlying condition is the Raiders are supposed
to have a top notch defense and they are not
worth a dime. All right, The Raider defense has sucked.

(10:00):
They have no running game on offense.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
And if you fix.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
One or both of those issues, suddenly Gardner Minshew is
not an enigma, all right. Last thing, so we will
not break down a photograph on a platform that is
about the spoken word and not a visual platform.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Why why not? All right? So let me describe this.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
There's a photo let's go back to Sunday, and I
don't know if you saw this now, but it has
Ram coach Sean McVay. They're doing the congratulatory thing after
the game they beat the forty nine ers, and so
he shakes hands with Kyle Shanahan, but he then pats
him on the head like a dog. So did ram

(10:48):
coach Sean McVay disrespect forty nine er coach Kyle Shanahan
by patting him on the top of his head in
the now viral photo. So I examined the photo. The
verdict on this one is n plus zero.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
This was after LA.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Had a comfort behind victory with a bunch of guys
they signed off Craigslist to play on the offensive line.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
The people who are making a big deal about.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
This, my advice is to to visit with shaq. Say
hi to Shaquille O'Neill. Maybe he can get you a
deal on icy hot because you're literally pulling muscles as
you stretch for a take. All Right, McVeigh and Shanahan,
last I checked, are bros. Right, They're birds of a feather.

(11:37):
They flock together. They have similar backgrounds. Both of them
come from football families. They work together with the old
Washington Redskins. They were on the same staff. They climbed
up the coaching ranks together, and under a frame by
frame analysis, it looked to me like McVeigh was being sympathetic, like,

(11:59):
you know, hanging in there, everything will be all right.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
I feel your agony.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
You got Christian McCaffrey who's eating schnitzel in Germany because
he's all messed up. Brandon Ayuk got paid and has
already been upstaged by another forty nine er receiver. He's
not dominating, and you've got other players who are hurt.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
So it was more like hang in, everything will be
all right.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
That's what it was. That's how I interpreted the now
viral photo. It is the Ben Mallard Show. If you'd
