Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's his studios where Pittsburgh shops for appliances. This is
(00:03):
WTV Pittsburgh, the DV.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Morning show, your radio home with the Pittsburgh Steelers one
on two point five DVE with some fun behind the scenes.
Technical difficulties once again, but no difficulties with Aaron Rodgers
finding Connor Hayward in the end zone yesterday, play.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Action pass rolling to his right, looking downfield, looking throws
back across his body.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Heat talk in the end zone.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
What a crab by Connor Hayward.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
Magnificent thrown by Rogers and Hayward with his first touchdown
of the season.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I mean, beautiful throw, beautiful catch and everything you hope
to see out of having someone like Aaron Rodgers as
your quarterback engineering that on the field.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
And the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Now atop the AFC North take care of business against
the Browns and they are in free fall in Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
There's rumors about Stefancy getting fired.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh my god, if the Steelers got another Browns coach fired,
that would just be the greatest thing ever best. They
have not won a game in the regular season in Pittsburgh.
The Browns since the turn of the millennium. It's been
twenty plus years. I think was it the twenty third
in a rows is a twenty second twenty second. That's
how you know you suck.
Speaker 7 (01:40):
Your losing streak is of legal drinking age.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Miles Garrett after the game, a game in which he
did nothing, tried to throw his coaches and teammates under
the bus.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
My friend, you took the bag and you knew what
you were staying with.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Nobody wants to hear it from you.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And that's the beauty of the win is getting to
enjoy the frustration. On the other end of things, they
are absolutely squirming in Cleveland. I was sitting next to
Browns fans yesterday who were perfectly nice, uh, and they
they were completely expecting everything to happen the way it did.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
They were not surprised at at least. They know that
they know the deal, They know the tradition. You come
to Pittsburgh in the regular season, you lose.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, they were they were a little nervous that they
were going to be mistreated by Steelers fans, and I
assured them that, you know, you'll be fine.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
I'm like, it's all about how you act.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You're gonna get a few jackasses, but mostly everybody will
be cool to you if you're cool. Now, if you
stand up and go on every play you're asking for,
you you're asking for. But if you're just sitting in
your seat cheer and nobody's gonna bother you, I think.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
Yeah, that's that's the thing.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
If you're going on on the road as a fan,
you're gonna get chirped. If you let the chirps happen
and you don't chirp back, it doesn't escalate.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Well. One of the.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Women who was in a Browns jersey, she went to
your tailgate at stay je before Bill Yeah, and she
said she was playing cornhole and a guy in a
Steelers jersey said to her, you ever been choked out before?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
And I was like what, she.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Goes, Yeah, he was like threatening to tap me out
because I was a Browns fan, And I'm like, look,
i'd like to say that, you know, not all Steeler fans.
I'm like, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that's
probably fifty to fifty before a Steelers Browns game.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
To be real honest with you, a little talk, But.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Is that like some kind of thing with cornhole? Like
you know, how you if you get three strikes in
a row, it's a turkey. Like was he saying like
you ever been choked out? Like that's three bags at
once or something? Yeah, like a gobbler or something like.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
Yeah, maybe it was just he was talking about cornhole.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
That's all it was.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
No, but the frustration by the very few Browns fans
in attendance yesterday had to have been expected. I will
say that that crowd really fed off of what happened.
I think what they saw at Croke Park they wanted
to have a little bit of that at Acroture yesterday
because it was a live crowd abbey. It was loud
(04:12):
as hell in there.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I'm so jealous.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
That flyover was incredible. I don't know what the hell
that that aircraft was. I've never even seen something like
that fly over to stadium.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It's like when you see a bug and you're like,
is that two bugs?
Speaker 8 (04:26):
What the hell?
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Just like a chinook with the propellers on the top.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Yeah, man, that thing was awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
A couple of jets next to it and everything, and
it was like, well, you couldn't tell if you were
going to see it, if it was hidden in the clouds.
It was because you could hear the sound and you're like,
is that thing above us right now? Are we getting
stealthed Steelers stealth on that first play from scrimmage yesterday
where they come out in the fatman package, in the
big jumbo package and then let Darnell sneak out for
(04:55):
a big game.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I love that to start the game yesterday.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
I love the unpredictability on offense and defense, sending Jalen
Ramsey a couple of times, sending guys on the blitz,
very effective against the young quarterback Deal and Gabriel who
struggled yesterday against the Steelers.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Oh God, he's staying on the first floor of his
house all week.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Twenty nine of fifty two. He had fifty two attempts.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Yesterdar, I mean, that's irresponsible.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
If you're the head coach, like.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
You're not you're doing that, You're gonna You're gonna drop
him back fifty sometimes in Pittsburgh against that front line
and that defense and those linebackers.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
And they Baill did not do what the Steelers did,
which I loved and we talked about this last week.
It was gonna be a slog in the first half.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
We knew this.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
We said bet the under in the first half. The
Steelers have to stick with the run no matter what.
And that's what they did. You know, if if Jalen
Warren ended up with a you know, one yard, absolute like,
it just looked like a street fight just to get.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
That one yard, he runs so hard.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
They kept and by the second half, after they kept
at it for the whole first half, started to wear
down that Browns defense even more. And then they started
to rip off six and seven yards at a time,
and all of a sudden, here comes Caleb Johnson who
got six carries yesterday, you know, right, two and a
half per but a couple of those were, you know,
towards the end when they were just looking to eat
(06:20):
up some clock. He broke it out a couple of times.
He looked a little bit better yesterday. Love seeing that,
Love seeing Kashawn Williams with the big return, even though
it got brought back on the bogus penalty. Seemed like
Jabrill Pepper's got tagged with a couple that were up
vs yesterday. But that looks promising there without Calvin Austin
(06:41):
and at least in terms of punt return and uh,
you know, they got to fix the field. We talked
about that Acrecuer Stadium has long been you know, and
when it was Heinz Field, it was a joke for many,
many years. I thought we had sort of transcended that
era of greens keeping malfeasns that seemed to be occurring.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
Year in and year out.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, and it's time once again for those landscapers to
figure it out.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
You got a couple of weeks.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
I think they did. They started ripping it up immediately
after the game.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You have until Green Bay comes to Hinzfield Sunday night,
the twenty sixth.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Twenty six.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yep, it's just well their primetime again this Thursday, with
a short turnaround. Two AFC North battles in a row
for the Steelers. They take the first one. They're taking
care of business. They took care of the of the
Browns and now they got to take care at a Bengals.
It's TCB for your Pittsburgh Stems for the next couple
of weeks. Jerry Doulack will be joining us, he tweeted
(07:37):
out the brown the Steelers got another Browns coach fired,
and I don't know if he was reacting to some
of the biggest butt cracked because there were a couple
of bogus reports out there.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I mean, it definitely feels like that's out there in
the ether that he should be fired, could be fired.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Part of me thinks he wants to get fired.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
I mean, they're paying eight quarterbacks right now.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Literally, they're really eight.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
They only have three on their roster.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Would you rather put your lot on the future of
the Browns or the Jets.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
I mean, I've said this multiple times on the program.
The Jets are the Browns with a better color scheme.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
I mean New York.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Just because it's I like the colors better and it's
New York, but not because I have any faith in
their football.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You're not as hamstrung though with contracts in New York.
You're like the owner for the Browns has completely screwed them.
There's a little part of me that think Stefanski's like,
please fire me when he's saying stuff like, yeah, no,
we weren't looking to trade Joe Flacco, but he's gone.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Now, yeah, that took us by surprise. You weren't expecting
to get that call, and he.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
He didn't even answer a quite like he wasn't asked
about that. He steered his answer so that he could
make that statement.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I think that indicates a.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Level of frustration with the head coach going into the
game this week.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Still just in mixed messages like the the disconnect between
the owner, the GM and the coach. I mean, when
you trade for Kenny Pickett, go out and sign Joe
Flacco and both those guys are gone before the and
then can then draft two quarters man, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So? I don't think there's any question Dylan Gabriel should
have been starting for them because it doesn't matter what
Joe Flacco does.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
You have to see what Dylan Gabriel needs to do.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But he I don't think you can get an accurate
assessment of what he is capable of yet, and people
are saying, oh, he ain't the guy. I grant you
he did the guy, but like I dropped some balls
on him. They dropped at least four balls, if not five.
I don't think he looked terrible.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
In a twenty nine for fifty two out in two
hundred and twenty one yards passing yesterday.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
No, but in an introduction into AFC North Football, a
game on the road. You don't have that guy throw
fifty times. You've you've been successful running the ball. That's
that's how they were successful in his first game in London.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
They could have won that game.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Because of their effectiveness running the ball where he can
make throws here and there. He's he's mobile. Obviously he's
got some wheels.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Back to my earlier point, Steelers stuck with the run
even when it wasn't totally working. They let Corlis Weightman
punt the ball away. Fine, live to fight another day. Yeah,
Brown seemed to be a little more impatient with that,
you know, and I think it bit him in the RS.
I mean, Juggins only had twelve carries, Jerome Ford had two.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
They stuffed him.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Steelers defense was outstanding yesterday and I think they're getting
it figured out. And Patrick Queen is really on fire
right now.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
He's playing hard.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
So if you got.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Ramsey playing the way he's playing, which, by the way,
coming back from an injury that nobody thought he was
gonna return from and having that level of a game.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Thought he was out for a month, meets it with
that's what we were told.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Jerry Doulx said, it's the same way as they're gonna
treat it the same way as Joey Porter Junior, and
they're gonna their time.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
He was out fo it three games, right, yep.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
So big defensive effort yesterday, making a little stride on
some strides on offense in terms of the offensive line,
even though you didn't have Calvin Austin yesterday, and Aaron
Rodgers pretty good throwing the ball to DK ninety five
yards for DK me twice.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Maybe he could have had a couple more.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Tuddies, well at least two, right, I mean the one
he underthrew which was criminal because he he like moved back.
It just died on him. He just moved by. Well,
it was windy too, I think it was. I'm not
sure if that showed up on TV.
Speaker 10 (11:36):
It was pretty Yeah, it didn't drop on TV.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, it was pretty windy in the stadium, and that
was going right against the wind. The wind was coming
in off the lake, like Bobby Brister used to say.
But the second one, you know, we were talking about
it earlier, was Aaron Rodgers trying to go back shoulder
and threw it a little too inside or was he
trying to go over the top and didn't throw it
far enough.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
Hit the defender right in the number.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, Dylan Gabriel did that to Jerry Judy later in
the game where he threw it off his helmet and
that was a touchdown, and that would have made it
assuming for you know, they just kicked the extra point there,
that would have made it twenty three thirteen. And then
I think it was the next play where Nick Herbig
had that like eighteen yard sack and backed him up
to you know, fourth and forever. I don't think it
(12:23):
was eighteen yards, but it was. It was a big sack,
and I think I think it was fourth and fourteen.
I'm not sure, but they ended up turning the ball
over on downs and the Steelers. Is that the one? Yeah,
I think Boz went down on the field goal on that.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
One, right, No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He missed
the field goal on that one.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
That's what the one where the field gave way underneath
him and he almost got sweeh themed, Yeah, that was scary,
which would have been terrifying, but luckily it didn't happen.
By the way, great national anthem yesterday, by the uh
the she was Ravy choir singer. I don't know what
her name was.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
She killed it.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
She was awesome, and then the fly over happened. It
was like just.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
And the fact that that was the crucial catch game,
like that's the theme and it's Cancer Survivors and to
have Merrill come out and do the terrible Tubts borrow.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
Merril got a big pop.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
He deserved it. That was pretty fun to see him
come out there yesterday. It's all cream cheese when you win.
And the Steelers taking care of some AFC North business
and once again for the second consecutive weekend, Ravens Bengals.
Browns go down. Steelers get a dub this weekend on
(13:32):
top of it, and look, they could lose next weekend
or Thursday night to the Bengals and they'll still be
on top of the AFC North, which you can't lose
to the Bengals. Do you not let Joe Flacco beat you?
Speaker 7 (13:45):
The places for the Bengals, not the Browns or the Ravens,
the other team that started in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
We should really let him retire with us like we did,
like the Penguins did with Flurry, like just for a
preseason game. Bring Flaco in, let him get sat I
have Troy intercept him for a pick six. Have you
seen Troy lately?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I don't know. Now he's been intercepting a lot of donuts.
Speaker 8 (14:09):
Yeah, he looks like he's doing a lot of pick twos.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Yeah, he looks like that's for Troy now.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah, I think smokes yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
Hanging out on Troy Hill.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Jerry Deal joined US Top five plays of the game,
Rob King and Moore Abbey.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
He's Got your Nies Now on dv is.
Speaker 10 (14:25):
This hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems, Wet Basement,
Keystone Basementsystems, dot Com, Pleasant Today, Times, the Clouds and
Sun and a high of sixty eight.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Diane Keaton, legendary.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
Actor director whose career earned her acclaim as well as Oscars, Emmys,
and Golden Glomes, has passed. Born Diane Hall, Keaton was
always a performer, from high school plays to pursuing drama
in college, to Broadway and then to Hollywood. She earned
a Tony nomination working with Woody Allen on Broadway in
(14:57):
his play Played Again, Sam, forging partnership that would last
decades and over several films. After scoring her first film
role in nineteen seventies, Lovers and Other Strangers. Keaton scored
the role of a lifetime as Michael cor Leone's wife
Kay and The Godfather and its two sequels.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Career Good.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
She is so good in everything but Man and Godfather too.
Speaker 10 (15:20):
Oh yeah, I think the other, you know, career highlight
would be Annie Hall.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
No.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
Hall was so good.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Annie Hall.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
She was perfect.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Well, you know, she was one of those people who
set fashion trends.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, with everything that she did, and it was kind
of cool. She always maintained the same sort of sensibility
so that if you saw somebody dressed like Diane Keaton,
you she looks like Diane Keaton just because of the
way she was dressed. You know, It's like that's a
pretty unique thing to be able to pull off.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
And now everybody looks the same and everybody's wearing everything.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Oh my god, dude.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I saw these two girls dressed exactly the same, yeah,
on Saturday night, and I almost ask them, like, are
you guys on a team?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yeah, boots to the knees, the white top, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And I'm like, it really looks like you guys are
gonna go march or something, But I refrained.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
But anyway, Yeah, We're on team don't talk to creepy guys.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
See you later. Why am I creepy nuts?
Speaker 8 (16:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:21):
No, it's because I was wearing the same thing that
really bothered me.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
But she's also an amazing singer, Dyane, amazing singer.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
Oh really did.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Listen to her singing Annie Hall. I mean she always
said if she wasn't an actress, she would have been
a singer. She's an incredible singer.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
That was the first time I had ever seen a
performance where somebody was like so vulnerable that it kind
of made me uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Yeah, because she's so.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
Like insecure in that role, and I was like, is
this her or is this the part?
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Or what is this? Like this is an incredible job acting.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I mean based it on her.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Do you all undated hers two or two sisters? Of course.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
It's just like the weirdest situation, but.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
He really based did they dress like Diane Kee?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
I believe they all did.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Okay, there's a scene where he goes to visit her
family and she's like, Eh, my grandmother's racist, FYI, And
that was that was based on his real real Yeah,
going to her family's house and her the matriarch of
the family. Was you know, kind of an old school
racist or.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Whatever, like most people's grandma's are racist.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
A little bit, yeah, if not overtly, like in.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
A sweet way. Yeah, not like in an active way. Yeah,
you know, ye from the house polite, I mean some pie.
Please date your own kind.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
No.
Speaker 10 (17:43):
She was romantically linked to Woody Allen, but also Warren
Batty and al Pacino, and she never ended up marrying, said.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
One of his biggest regrets in life is not marrying her.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
It's probably one of her best accomplishments, not marrying O.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
God, he's still having kids.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
She I mean, there are so many movies I love
her in and uh, I don't know why. That one
surprised the hell out of me, And it is like
it made me so sad because I just loved her
and everything she did Reds.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
She's amazing in Reds.
Speaker 10 (18:18):
If you've never seen that Marvin's Room, Something's got to give.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I know, you guys hate something's got to give, But
I like it just for her. Remind me of something
Jack Nicholson Keanu Reeves. That's the one where Nicholson is
dating her daughter and then he like has a heart attack,
and then he falls in love with Diane Keaton. Yeah,
apparently Diane Keaton was such a good actress on set
that Nicholson pulled the director Nancy Myers aside and said,
(18:45):
I think we got a problem. She's really in love
with me. And she's like, no, she's acting. And he's like,
I don't think this is acting. You can't act like that,
you know, And she's like, no, I assure you she's acting.
And then he had this huge humility moment where Diane
Key was like, yeah, I'm acting, what are you?
Speaker 7 (19:06):
I'm morn I saw that same exact thing happened to
Owen Benjamin at the strip club. He's like, guys, that
girl she likes me right, like more than a friend.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
And that humiliation is uh, turn them loose, please zip
your pants up, put your belt on. He's like, I'll
never get over this. I'm gott to move to Utah
by five hundred acres and started an army kid on.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
Unfortunately, we don't have any kind of cause of death here.
She's just seventy nine too.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Apparently it's super quick. Oh man, she found out like
a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Well, yeah, there.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
Was one of the Saturday Night Live actresses, Padilla I
think it's her last name, posted a picture and Diane
looked extremely thin. So whatever it was, to your point,
looks like it happened, you know, very fast. But I
mean she was even just in a Justin Bieber video
like somewhat recently, so she was still like active in
(20:08):
doing things, but it was just Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
You can also like tell how authentic they were by
the response of their contemporaries when they passed and when
Jane Fonda and Goldie Hawn are like beside themselves, Ye, sad,
you just get an inkling that like she was actually
that person. She really was super sad. But what a
(20:33):
great contribution to American culture.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
It's gonna be pleasant with times the clouds and sun
today and a high of sixty eight.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
All right.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Jerry Deal joined us a little bit later on a
power hour of Steeler Talk with the voice of the
Pittsburgh Steelers Rob King. In the nine am hour, we'll
have our top five plays of the game yesterday if
Steelers on both sides of the ball outstanding specialties was
a little a little bit of a C plus B
minus yesterday, But didn't it yely matter because the offense
(21:01):
of the defense were just so sounded. This is what
we've been waiting for, seeing them take steps forward, getting
that defensive line showed up ever since Harmon came back.
It's like a different defense and offensively. Broderick Jones with
his best game of the year on a day he
needed to have it, and he silences Miles Garrett and
the Cleveland Browns who skulk back to Cleveland with a loss.
(21:26):
Mike's got your full sports report and a review of yesterday.
Steelers win over the Browns when we come back here
on DVE.
Speaker 11 (21:33):
I've been trying to win the thousand dollars as long

Speaker 2 (22:01):
We're gonna see clouds gradually increase throughout the day high
of sixty seven, decreasing clouds tonight, dropping down to Fasuda
with your Sports Now on your radio, home of the
Black and Gold, DVE Sports that.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Brought to you by Virginal Plants.
Speaker 13 (22:14):
Do you, guys ever go to a Steeler game or
watch a Steeler game and wonder afterwards did.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
They even have a plan?
Speaker 5 (22:19):
What were they doing? What were they thinking?
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Yeah, yeah, well number of times yesterday.
Speaker 13 (22:25):
No such issue, right, they actually had a plan. This
just did now. Of course they always have one, but
doesn't always come together the way it did yesterday in
a resounding twenty three nine victory over Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Here's Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 11 (22:41):
We had certain agendas that we thought were critical to
making this game unfold the way we desire for dunfold.
We thought they played behind the runner. We wanted to
do a good job of minimizing him, and I think
we did that. When you do that, then you're in
favorable one dimensional passing circumstances your defense, and I think
that was reflected in the pressure that we were able
(23:03):
to put on the quarterback on the other side of
the ball. We were able to stay on schedule and
minimize those one dimensional moments to minimize Miles Gareth impact
on the game. And so like some of those agendas
Man that we had, we were able to get accomplished.
And I think that's why we engineered victory.
Speaker 13 (23:18):
Yeah, it always comes down and run. Stop the run
first and foremost. Sometimes you need stuff beside that, but
if you can run and stop the run, you got
a really good chance. And quin Shawn Jenkins, the Browns
rookie from Ohio State, had been tearing up the league
for three games.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
He's over under was it like ninety yards?
Speaker 8 (23:36):
Yes?
Speaker 13 (23:37):
Oh and bad odds yeah yeah, I mean the odds
makers expected him to run wild yesterday. I was from
a perspective of what can go wrong for the Steelers
in this game.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
I was very concerned about him running the ball.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Yeah, and that's the concern.
Speaker 13 (23:52):
That's why I thought it was gonna be a close game.
He went twelve carries for thirty six yards, and the
Steelers conversely number one rush defense in the NFL, and
on the way to twenty three to six, which at
that point the game's over and they're just killing time.
But their first twenty one carries netted ninety nine yards
four point seven a.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
Pop, and man, every single yard was earned.
Speaker 13 (24:15):
Gonna win a lot of football games if you stop
their runner and you run effectively. Hey, I don't care
if it takes nine offensive linemen. Just get it done.
And they got it done. The defense was able to
feast in those obvious passing situations. Tomlin referenced six sacks,
including two from Jalen Ramsey, who played despite not practicing
(24:38):
on Wednesday or Thursday. Sometimes ball karma shines on those
who deserve it.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
Felt good.
Speaker 14 (24:47):
I'm gonna probably tell my kids about this. I played
in the game with TJ Wye in Now's gear.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Then I had two sacks.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Crazy, Huh, that's crazy.
Speaker 14 (24:57):
So yeah, my first first time, I mean my whole
career having two sacks in one game.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
So that's pretty cool too.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
It things are going well when Jalen Ramsey's in a
good mood.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Yeah, and Dan Near injured himself on one of those sacks.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
They were all he did.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
He just knocked his wind out, like he took his
own wing where the.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Way he tackled him, like when his chest was open.
So like, I think you're right, I think he did
kind of knock out win win.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
Yeah, knocked the wind out of himself.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
But you know it's funny.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
One of them.
Speaker 13 (25:25):
He caught Dylan Gabriel from behind when Gabriel escaped the
pocket left and started to run, and it just hit
me in the face. We were talking about this before the game,
Dylan Gabriel when he was an Oregon. That's a sixteen
yard game and a first out. Yeah, in the NFL,
sack gold jacket comes up and kicks your ass from behind.
It like, yeah, it's not the same game. You know,
(25:48):
Gabriel lit just or he won't. He's just getting started
in his career. But Ramsey was just well. Mike Thomas
said he's been everything they they thought and hoped he
could be, and that included Air Rodgers talking about Ramsey's
willingness to put his hand in the pile.
Speaker 15 (26:06):
I do want to make a point and talk about
Ramsey because what he did this week getting ready to play.
I've been around the game a long time, and I've
seen a lot of guys in a situation where you
got a Sunday Thursday, let's get both games where maybe
they're eighty percent eighty five percent, but they want to
(26:26):
be one hundred percent because there's I think there's a
fear of failure almost that they can paralyze them, where
if I don't play my best game, then what does
that say about me? If I'm not one hundred percent.
I think some guys are scared to go out there
and play. But for Jalen to go out there with
everything he's accomplished in this league, I just can't say
enough about the level of respect I have for him.
Then he had what two sacks and pass breakups and tackles,
(26:49):
And if there was any question about the type of
person that he is, take away the grip and gredo
a player with person and teammate. I think he just
showed all of us kind the kind of guy that
he is by going out there and playing today.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
That's the kind of thing that absolutely resonates in.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
A locker room.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Oh when you see Tua at the podium postgame talking
about his team and saying, there's no we got a
real leadership problem here. Guys come in to meetings late,
if they show up at all saying stuff like that,
and you can just tell that a team has been
in disarray for a long time. The stuff that those
(27:28):
veterans are doing. Aaron Rodgers Jalen Ramsey and DK Even
and the way that they're all helping to set the
tone without making it a me first kind of vibe.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
They're playing for each other.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Which, by the way, you know, one of the main
knocks on Aaron was that he was going to be
that guy.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Aaron Rodgers has been like every.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Comment he's had since he's been wearing a Steelers' uniform
sounds like he's working for the NFL on Fox or something.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Everyone right, you know what I mean, Like it's completely diplomatic.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
Yeah, I got Did I miss one? Or is he
just been perfect behind the microphone?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
No, That's what I'm saying is he's been a politician
in in in the right way. I don't mean that derogatorily,
Like he's handled the locker room, not in.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
The Russ Wilson way where it's like this phony you know,
vote for black and Goldie Wilson. Yeah, you know, I'll
I'll get pop machines put in on every floor. Like
he's not he's selling a bunch of bs. He's actually
boosting the character profiles of his teammates.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I was worried about him in that regard, and he
has been you know, above reproach.
Speaker 13 (28:33):
He was even I didn't get to this last week,
but he was talking about Miles Garrett and giving Garrett
his flowers before. Garrett's a great play. He didn't have
a good game yesterday, but it's a Hall of Fame
players Garrett and TJ.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Waters because he stinks here and he's good in Cleveland.
But Rogers was.
Speaker 13 (28:49):
Talking about good Garrett is and he added words to
the effect, oh, by the way, we have one of
those guys to TJ. Watt is really great, Like just
to make sure he includes your guy so he doesn't
think anything about what you're talking about relative to an opponent.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
To me, the ultimate I win move between TJ.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Watt and Miles Garrett is the fact that he only
played what percentage of snaps yesterday?
Speaker 13 (29:15):
I was pretty low for TJ. Watt sixty percent.
Speaker 16 (29:19):
Yeah, if he's taking a breather because he's already had
his half a sack, six tackles, pass batted down his
six you know, quarterback hits or whatever it was.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
I mean, he was an absolute and.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Plus they kept running out of me yesterday, which I
don't understand.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
It's like they're the only team in the league that
ran at TJ. Watt.
Speaker 13 (29:39):
Well, you know there is a theory he's good at
chasing it down from behind, and sometimes you can back
a guy off pass rush wise if you keep running
at him and you get him thinking I was gonna
be pulling guard up in my face or whatever. Like
I mean, it's hard. There's not like a plan that
works against TJ. Watt, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
It just nope.
Speaker 13 (29:58):
And they had common but it's in their run game,
which they should have coming into the game.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
There was a play where Aaron Rodgers breaks out of
the pocket. I think he ended up running for two
yards and Miles Garrett was chasing him.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Oh I saw that and could not catch rid of
the ball just in time. That could have been bad.
That is my one real big concern with this Steelers
team right now. I do not want Aaron Rodgers running
past the line of script. Just don't even want him
running around laterally for a long time because that play
right there, if Miles Garrett would have tackled him from
(30:31):
behind and landed on him.
Speaker 13 (30:32):
I think he's tried it four times, and three times
he didn't get the first out, and one time he
did but fumbled Broderick Jones picked that up. BRODERI joke
will caught it out of the air, hit him in
the chest. I don't even know where he came from.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
By the way, if they keep and they probably will
keep running that jumbo package out with Spencer Anderson, Eventually
they have to throw.
Speaker 13 (30:51):
The ball to Spencer Anderson in the end zone. Have
toime sure Spence would be down with that. He's an
old hooper and soft. Yeah, he played AAU and he
had scholarship offers from George Mason and vcu. Oh dude,
we have to throw him the ball. That has to happen.
Go up for get rebounds. You can go up for
get a football, right if.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
You can dodge your wrench. Abbey's got your name to the.
Speaker 10 (31:14):

If you knick Stealers one O two point five dve
Steelers over the Browns yesterday at Extra STATEUM twenty three
to nine Steelers a top THEAFC North Browns sitting in
the basement with the Ravens.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
Right Bengals Thursday.
Speaker 13 (32:44):
Every other team in the AFC North has five losses,
and it's c the Steelers have one.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
They would really have to work hard to screw it
up if that were the case.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Big game Thursday night against Joe Flaco and the Bengal But.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I digress, getting to yesterday's win over the Browns, which
always feels good, getting a win over Cleveland.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Oh, it's the best, always feels And it's a long
Pittsburgh tradition here at home.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Steelers open up with the ball and right away they
go out with that jumbo package and pull a little
little trickery by sending Darnell out there, and he is
wide open, and this set the tone for what was
to come.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
The action passed rolling out US I man right open.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
It's Darnel Washington got the forty roughly up the right
sideline and has it punched out from behind, but it
trickles out of bounds at the thirty two yard line.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
So a quick play action to a wide open.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Darnell Washington wide open.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
I thought he was gonna take it all the way, Mike,
but I guess when you're three sixty, it's hard out right.
Speaker 13 (33:47):
Yeah, t backs, you know, five targets for him yesterday,
three catches. They only targeted him thirty five times his
first two years, which is just a tiny bit over
one a game. They're finally figuring out, Hey, this guy's
really big.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Yeah, and he's hard to defend.
Speaker 8 (34:02):
He's also hard to overthrow. But a rod did it yesterday.
Speaker 13 (34:05):
Yeah, all that crosser, the double play action crossing. It
was wide open.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah, he had I mean as good as Aaron Rodgers
was yesterday. I mean I noticed a couple No, he'd
be the first one to say he missed a couple
of Yes.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
That one got everybody into it immediately. The crowd was
going nuts.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Well, it was also an indication that it was going
to be another game you were going to see a
lot of Darnell Washington and the fact that Aaron Rodgers
went to him. Uh and continues to talk about, how
about the hands on Darnel Washington, that one first down
catch he had stretching out Yep, like all of a sudden,
maybe this really is a guy you can turn into
one of the NFL elites.
Speaker 13 (34:43):
Mike, I'm talking about it since they drafted him. They're
finally getting around to taking advantage of it.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
Number four.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I love what this said about the Steelers in the
first quarter yesterday. Dylan Gabriel a little bit nervous and
it only his second game starting, And you want to
what we're Terrell Austin and Mike Tomlin going to dial
up for the rookie QB.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
How about Jalen Ramsey on a blitz.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Play actually pass Gabriel, but what's coming in jailing Ramsey
coming in off the left side of the defense, hammers
Gabriel for his first sack as a member of the
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Two yesterday for Ramsey and he only had three in
his career before that.
Speaker 13 (35:24):
Ramsey is impactful the way Mika Fitzpatrick was when he
first got here.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
Yep, immediate splash.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
And stopped being.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Eventually he stopped being and we gave him a wide
berth to bring it back, and we attributed it to
all kinds of other things.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
Well, you're doing lots of things behind the scenes. You're
making not making a statue.
Speaker 13 (35:44):
I mean, they were playing him deep middle because they
didn't want to give up home run balls. Ramsey's playing
on the line of scrimmage a lot, and he can
do some damage there.
Speaker 7 (35:52):
It's it's hard to get excited about a player for
the plays that they're negating without making.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Yes, yes it is. At number three.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
After appearing on the DV Morning Show on Friday, he
gets the Morning Show bump Nick Herbig. People were wondering
now that heismiths back, how many snaps is he gonna
see and will he be a difference maker like he's been.
I mean, I think we now know that there's no
way Mike Tomlin's keeping this guy off the field. A
two sack day for Nick Herbig yesterday, this one in
(36:22):
the fourth quarter, second and two from Pittsburgh forty eight,
five thirty eight left in the game.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Dylan Gabriel drops back.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
And Gabriel gets a snap back the pass looking got
under pressure.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Herbig gets it back in the fourteen, then slings him
to the turf.
Speaker 8 (36:37):
I love that his elusiveness.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
He gets a little too inside sometimes still, but Mike,
he is really developing so fast in front of our
eyes into an elite pass rusher.
Speaker 13 (36:49):
Four and a half sacks in his last three games.
I'm gonna have to start calling him NH because he's
playing like LT.
Speaker 8 (36:56):
Wow, that's a hell of a comparison.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
In the short run. Here is it wrong?
Speaker 2 (37:03):
No?
Speaker 8 (37:03):
His his speed off the edge is unblockable.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Sixteen six to start the fourth quarter, and Aaron Rodgers
and DK were doing it all game Alvarro Martin on
the call.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
But maybe the is what on the game was beta boy?
Speaker 17 (37:22):
Oh cut this down?
Speaker 18 (37:23):
He look see and I see that, Basil go dkay Metcalf, lspass.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
All twenty five yards.
Speaker 7 (37:33):
To Metcalf And I don't know what he said, but
I agree completely.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
And that made it twenty three six.
Speaker 13 (37:39):
Mike, you know they were only four for nine on
targets to Metcalf, catch us for target, which is allows
you ratio. But when you end up with ninety five
yards in the touchdown, who cares right, right, Jim Schwartz,
your genius brother. Why were you single covering him as
often as you were single covering him?
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Why made no sense? Because Aaron Rodgers is.
Speaker 13 (38:02):
Going to see that and he's gonna try to make
you pay.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
And I love the amount of targets and he got
open two more times where Rogers missed him. Yeah, and
at number one, your play of the game, number one,
play of the game in the third quarter seven forty
six left, Aaron Rodgers scrambles around and then starts making
chicken salad.
Speaker 8 (38:24):
What was he making it out of? Well?
Speaker 5 (38:27):
Connor Hayward.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Play action pass, rolling to his right, looking downfield, looking
throws back across his body.
Speaker 9 (38:35):
Talk in the end zone.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
What a crab by Connor Hayward.
Speaker 6 (38:39):
Macnificent thrown by Rogers and Hayward with his first touchdown
of the season.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
The amount of crap that Connor Hayward took for no reason,
I will never understand. The guy has never done anything
but play hard and make big plays.
Speaker 8 (38:54):
You know.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
That was big league football there.
Speaker 13 (38:58):
That was not an easy cat, no, And it had
to be two guys who understand the game and know
what to do and think on the run and react
on the run and then make an athletic play. And
it was athletic on both ends. He does that every
once in a while. He'll find a way to contribute
on offense. In the meantime he plays his ass off
on special teams.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
That would make it sixteen to three. And that was
all by Rogers there too.
Speaker 13 (39:22):
Great ball, dude, and the point like it was so poetic.
Speaker 8 (39:26):
The way he unfolded. That was big Ben like. That
was the throwback to what we used to see. Here.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
He had a little more room to the left if
he wanted to. He still just pinpointed it right to
Hayward there. That made it sixteen to three, as they said,
and that would be all the Steelers would need. The
Browns wouldn't get more than nine thirty two yard field
goal at the end of the day. They even mangled
that by not kicking the field goal earlier in that
series of downs and wasting a few minutes on the clock.
If they wanted any other winning, here's still three scores.
(39:53):
Kick on your first fourth down and live to fight
another day. Alas, I don't think they wanted to fight anymore.
Brown's go home losers.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
I think the quarterback did. I don't think that guy's terrible.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
I heard I saw more Browns fans jumping off the
Dylan Gabriel wagon than I would have thought, given it it's.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Only his second game.
Speaker 8 (40:13):
Yeah, when you.
Speaker 7 (40:13):
Lose to Pittsburgh, that's what happens. It's so demoralizing. They
just want the coach, fire, the quarterback bench.
Speaker 13 (40:20):
The circus isn't in town yet, but it's taken the
Cleveland exit on the Ohio Turnpike and the shooter or
mess is coming.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Pittsburgh Steelers are four and one, the Cleveland Browns are
one in five, and now it's on to Cincinnati Thursday
night to take care of Bengals. With Joe Flacco at
the helmet. A. He did not look terrible yesterday against Greenbank.
I know, I know he likes playing against the Packers too.
He beat them already once this year. Yeah, but he
(40:49):
didn't have t Higgins and Jamar Chase for that one.
We'll have them on Thursday night. Jamar Chase with a
very strange postgame comment about the Steelers. I don't know
if you guys saw it, uh, but this was Jamar
after the loss to Green Bay.
Speaker 18 (41:05):
What this next game is always the most important game,
just because of divisional game also, but just the rankings
that we got going on the standards where we are
right now. We know Still's gonna try to come in
and row Dougas and kill us.
Speaker 8 (41:18):
But okay, now we're gonna wear helmets, right.
Speaker 5 (41:22):
I think so?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Protected Steelers look to protect their lead across atop the
a f C North against.
Speaker 5 (41:34):
Yes, Hey, Ary might not have the meats after all.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Jerry to lack a forty five and Rob k with
a power hour Steeler talk coming up.
Speaker 8 (41:43):
Bill Crawford for Zeros, All right, picture this
It's his studios where Pittsburgh shops for appliances. This is
(00:03):
WTV Pittsburgh, the DV.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Morning show, your radio home with the Pittsburgh Steelers one
on two point five DVE with some fun behind the scenes.
Technical difficulties once again, but no difficulties with Aaron Rodgers
finding Connor Hayward in the end zone yesterday, play.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Action pass rolling to his right, looking downfield, looking throws
back across his body.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Heat talk in the end zone.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
What a crab by Connor Hayward.
Speaker 6 (00:53):
Magnificent thrown by Rogers and Hayward with his first touchdown
of the season.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I mean, beautiful throw, beautiful catch and everything you hope
to see out of having someone like Aaron Rodgers as
your quarterback engineering that on the field.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
And the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Now atop the AFC North take care of business against
the Browns and they are in free fall in Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
There's rumors about Stefancy getting fired.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh my god, if the Steelers got another Browns coach fired,
that would just be the greatest thing ever best. They
have not won a game in the regular season in Pittsburgh.
The Browns since the turn of the millennium. It's been
twenty plus years. I think was it the twenty third
in a rows is a twenty second twenty second. That's
how you know you suck.
Speaker 7 (01:40):
Your losing streak is of legal drinking age.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Miles Garrett after the game, a game in which he
did nothing, tried to throw his coaches and teammates under
the bus.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
My friend, you took the bag and you knew what
you were staying with.
Speaker 8 (01:55):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Nobody wants to hear it from you.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And that's the beauty of the win is getting to
enjoy the frustration. On the other end of things, they
are absolutely squirming in Cleveland. I was sitting next to
Browns fans yesterday who were perfectly nice, uh, and they
they were completely expecting everything to happen the way it did.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
They were not surprised at at least. They know that
they know the deal, They know the tradition. You come
to Pittsburgh in the regular season, you lose.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, they were they were a little nervous that they
were going to be mistreated by Steelers fans, and I
assured them that, you know, you'll be fine.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
I'm like, it's all about how you act.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You're gonna get a few jackasses, but mostly everybody will
be cool to you if you're cool. Now, if you
stand up and go on every play you're asking for,
you you're asking for. But if you're just sitting in
your seat cheer and nobody's gonna bother you, I think.
Speaker 8 (02:48):
Yeah, that's that's the thing.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
If you're going on on the road as a fan,
you're gonna get chirped. If you let the chirps happen
and you don't chirp back, it doesn't escalate.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Well. One of the.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Women who was in a Browns jersey, she went to
your tailgate at stay je before Bill Yeah, and she
said she was playing cornhole and a guy in a
Steelers jersey said to her, you ever been choked out before?
Speaker 5 (03:17):
And I was like what, she.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Goes, Yeah, he was like threatening to tap me out
because I was a Browns fan, And I'm like, look,
i'd like to say that, you know, not all Steeler fans.
I'm like, but I'm gonna go ahead and say that's
probably fifty to fifty before a Steelers Browns game.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
To be real honest with you, a little talk, But.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Is that like some kind of thing with cornhole? Like
you know, how you if you get three strikes in
a row, it's a turkey. Like was he saying like
you ever been choked out? Like that's three bags at
once or something? Yeah, like a gobbler or something like.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
Yeah, maybe it was just he was talking about cornhole.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
That's all it was.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
No, but the frustration by the very few Browns fans
in attendance yesterday had to have been expected. I will
say that that crowd really fed off of what happened.
I think what they saw at Croke Park they wanted
to have a little bit of that at Acroture yesterday
because it was a live crowd abbey. It was loud
(04:12):
as hell in there.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I'm so jealous.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I wasn't there.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
That flyover was incredible. I don't know what the hell
that that aircraft was. I've never even seen something like
that fly over to stadium.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It's like when you see a bug and you're like,
is that two bugs?
Speaker 8 (04:26):
What the hell?
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Just like a chinook with the propellers on the top.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
Yeah, man, that thing was awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
A couple of jets next to it and everything, and
it was like, well, you couldn't tell if you were
going to see it, if it was hidden in the clouds.
It was because you could hear the sound and you're like,
is that thing above us right now? Are we getting
stealthed Steelers stealth on that first play from scrimmage yesterday
where they come out in the fatman package, in the
big jumbo package and then let Darnell sneak out for
(04:55):
a big game.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I love that to start the game yesterday.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
I love the unpredictability on offense and defense, sending Jalen
Ramsey a couple of times, sending guys on the blitz,
very effective against the young quarterback Deal and Gabriel who
struggled yesterday against the Steelers.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Oh God, he's staying on the first floor of his
house all week.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Twenty nine of fifty two. He had fifty two attempts.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Yesterdar, I mean, that's irresponsible.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
If you're the head coach, like.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
You're not you're doing that, You're gonna You're gonna drop
him back fifty sometimes in Pittsburgh against that front line
and that defense and those linebackers.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
And they Baill did not do what the Steelers did,
which I loved and we talked about this last week.
It was gonna be a slog in the first half.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
We knew this.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
We said bet the under in the first half. The
Steelers have to stick with the run no matter what.
And that's what they did. You know, if if Jalen
Warren ended up with a you know, one yard, absolute like,
it just looked like a street fight just to get.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
That one yard, he runs so hard.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
They kept and by the second half, after they kept
at it for the whole first half, started to wear
down that Browns defense even more. And then they started
to rip off six and seven yards at a time,
and all of a sudden, here comes Caleb Johnson who
got six carries yesterday, you know, right, two and a
half per but a couple of those were, you know,
towards the end when they were just looking to eat
(06:20):
up some clock. He broke it out a couple of times.
He looked a little bit better yesterday. Love seeing that,
Love seeing Kashawn Williams with the big return, even though
it got brought back on the bogus penalty. Seemed like
Jabrill Pepper's got tagged with a couple that were up
vs yesterday. But that looks promising there without Calvin Austin
(06:41):
and at least in terms of punt return and uh,
you know, they got to fix the field. We talked
about that Acrecuer Stadium has long been you know, and
when it was Heinz Field, it was a joke for many,
many years. I thought we had sort of transcended that
era of greens keeping malfeasns that seemed to be occurring.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
Year in and year out.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, and it's time once again for those landscapers to
figure it out.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
You got a couple of weeks.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
I think they did. They started ripping it up immediately
after the game.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You have until Green Bay comes to Hinzfield Sunday night,
the twenty sixth.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
Twenty six.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yep, it's just well their primetime again this Thursday, with
a short turnaround. Two AFC North battles in a row
for the Steelers. They take the first one. They're taking
care of business. They took care of the of the
Browns and now they got to take care at a Bengals.
It's TCB for your Pittsburgh Stems for the next couple
of weeks. Jerry Doulack will be joining us, he tweeted
(07:37):
out the brown the Steelers got another Browns coach fired,
and I don't know if he was reacting to some
of the biggest butt cracked because there were a couple
of bogus reports out there.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I mean, it definitely feels like that's out there in
the ether that he should be fired, could be fired.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Part of me thinks he wants to get fired.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
I mean, they're paying eight quarterbacks right now.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Literally, they're really eight.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
They only have three on their roster.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Would you rather put your lot on the future of
the Browns or the Jets.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
I mean, I've said this multiple times on the program.
The Jets are the Browns with a better color scheme.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
I mean New York.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Just because it's I like the colors better and it's
New York, but not because I have any faith in
their football.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You're not as hamstrung though with contracts in New York.
You're like the owner for the Browns has completely screwed them.
There's a little part of me that think Stefanski's like,
please fire me when he's saying stuff like, yeah, no,
we weren't looking to trade Joe Flacco, but he's gone.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Now, yeah, that took us by surprise. You weren't expecting
to get that call, and he.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
He didn't even answer a quite like he wasn't asked
about that. He steered his answer so that he could
make that statement.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
I think that indicates a.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Level of frustration with the head coach going into the
game this week.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Still just in mixed messages like the the disconnect between
the owner, the GM and the coach. I mean, when
you trade for Kenny Pickett, go out and sign Joe
Flacco and both those guys are gone before the and
then can then draft two quarters man, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So? I don't think there's any question Dylan Gabriel should
have been starting for them because it doesn't matter what
Joe Flacco does.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
You have to see what Dylan Gabriel needs to do.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But he I don't think you can get an accurate
assessment of what he is capable of yet, and people
are saying, oh, he ain't the guy. I grant you
he did the guy, but like I dropped some balls
on him. They dropped at least four balls, if not five.
I don't think he looked terrible.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
In a twenty nine for fifty two out in two
hundred and twenty one yards passing yesterday.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
No, but in an introduction into AFC North Football, a
game on the road. You don't have that guy throw
fifty times. You've you've been successful running the ball. That's
that's how they were successful in his first game in London.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
They could have won that game.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Because of their effectiveness running the ball where he can
make throws here and there. He's he's mobile. Obviously he's
got some wheels.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Back to my earlier point, Steelers stuck with the run
even when it wasn't totally working. They let Corlis Weightman
punt the ball away. Fine, live to fight another day. Yeah,
Brown seemed to be a little more impatient with that,
you know, and I think it bit him in the RS.
I mean, Juggins only had twelve carries, Jerome Ford had two.
Speaker 8 (10:30):
They stuffed him.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Steelers defense was outstanding yesterday and I think they're getting
it figured out. And Patrick Queen is really on fire
right now.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
He's playing hard.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
So if you got.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Ramsey playing the way he's playing, which, by the way,
coming back from an injury that nobody thought he was
gonna return from and having that level of a game.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Thought he was out for a month, meets it with
that's what we were told.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Jerry Doulx said, it's the same way as they're gonna
treat it the same way as Joey Porter Junior, and
they're gonna their time.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
He was out fo it three games, right, yep.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
So big defensive effort yesterday, making a little stride on
some strides on offense in terms of the offensive line,
even though you didn't have Calvin Austin yesterday, and Aaron
Rodgers pretty good throwing the ball to DK ninety five
yards for DK me twice.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Maybe he could have had a couple more.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Tuddies, well at least two, right, I mean the one
he underthrew which was criminal because he he like moved back.
It just died on him. He just moved by. Well,
it was windy too, I think it was. I'm not
sure if that showed up on TV.
Speaker 10 (11:36):
It was pretty Yeah, it didn't drop on TV.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, it was pretty windy in the stadium, and that
was going right against the wind. The wind was coming
in off the lake, like Bobby Brister used to say.
But the second one, you know, we were talking about
it earlier, was Aaron Rodgers trying to go back shoulder
and threw it a little too inside or was he
trying to go over the top and didn't throw it
far enough.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
Hit the defender right in the number.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, Dylan Gabriel did that to Jerry Judy later in
the game where he threw it off his helmet and
that was a touchdown, and that would have made it
assuming for you know, they just kicked the extra point there,
that would have made it twenty three thirteen. And then
I think it was the next play where Nick Herbig
had that like eighteen yard sack and backed him up
to you know, fourth and forever. I don't think it
(12:23):
was eighteen yards, but it was. It was a big sack,
and I think I think it was fourth and fourteen.
I'm not sure, but they ended up turning the ball
over on downs and the Steelers. Is that the one? Yeah,
I think Boz went down on the field goal on that.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
One, right, No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He missed
the field goal on that one.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
That's what the one where the field gave way underneath
him and he almost got sweeh themed, Yeah, that was scary,
which would have been terrifying, but luckily it didn't happen.
By the way, great national anthem yesterday, by the uh
the she was Ravy choir singer. I don't know what
her name was.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
She killed it.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
She was awesome, and then the fly over happened. It
was like just.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
And the fact that that was the crucial catch game,
like that's the theme and it's Cancer Survivors and to
have Merrill come out and do the terrible Tubts borrow.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
Merril got a big pop.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
He deserved it. That was pretty fun to see him
come out there yesterday. It's all cream cheese when you win.
And the Steelers taking care of some AFC North business
and once again for the second consecutive weekend, Ravens Bengals.
Browns go down. Steelers get a dub this weekend on
(13:32):
top of it, and look, they could lose next weekend
or Thursday night to the Bengals and they'll still be
on top of the AFC North, which you can't lose
to the Bengals. Do you not let Joe Flacco beat you?
Speaker 7 (13:45):
The places for the Bengals, not the Browns or the Ravens,
the other team that started in Ohio.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
We should really let him retire with us like we did,
like the Penguins did with Flurry, like just for a
preseason game. Bring Flaco in, let him get sat I
have Troy intercept him for a pick six. Have you
seen Troy lately?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I don't know. Now he's been intercepting a lot of donuts.
Speaker 8 (14:09):
Yeah, he looks like he's doing a lot of pick twos.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Yeah, he looks like that's for Troy now.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah, I think smokes yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
Hanging out on Troy Hill.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Jerry Deal joined US Top five plays of the game,
Rob King and Moore Abbey.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
He's Got your Nies Now on dv is.
Speaker 10 (14:25):
This hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems, Wet Basement,
Keystone Basementsystems, dot Com, Pleasant Today, Times, the Clouds and
Sun and a high of sixty eight.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
Diane Keaton, legendary.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
Actor director whose career earned her acclaim as well as Oscars, Emmys,
and Golden Glomes, has passed. Born Diane Hall, Keaton was
always a performer, from high school plays to pursuing drama
in college, to Broadway and then to Hollywood. She earned
a Tony nomination working with Woody Allen on Broadway in
(14:57):
his play Played Again, Sam, forging partnership that would last
decades and over several films. After scoring her first film
role in nineteen seventies, Lovers and Other Strangers. Keaton scored
the role of a lifetime as Michael cor Leone's wife
Kay and The Godfather and its two sequels.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Career Good.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
She is so good in everything but Man and Godfather too.
Speaker 10 (15:20):
Oh yeah, I think the other, you know, career highlight
would be Annie Hall.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
No.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
Hall was so good.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Annie Hall.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
She was perfect.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Well, you know, she was one of those people who
set fashion trends.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, with everything that she did, and it was kind
of cool. She always maintained the same sort of sensibility
so that if you saw somebody dressed like Diane Keaton,
you she looks like Diane Keaton just because of the
way she was dressed. You know, It's like that's a
pretty unique thing to be able to pull off.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
And now everybody looks the same and everybody's wearing everything.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Oh my god, dude.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I saw these two girls dressed exactly the same, yeah,
on Saturday night, and I almost ask them, like, are
you guys on a team?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yeah, boots to the knees, the white top, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And I'm like, it really looks like you guys are
gonna go march or something, But I refrained.
Speaker 8 (16:14):
But anyway, Yeah, We're on team don't talk to creepy guys.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
See you later. Why am I creepy nuts?
Speaker 8 (16:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:21):
No, it's because I was wearing the same thing that
really bothered me.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
But she's also an amazing singer, Dyane, amazing singer.
Speaker 8 (16:30):
Oh really did.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Listen to her singing Annie Hall. I mean she always
said if she wasn't an actress, she would have been
a singer. She's an incredible singer.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
That was the first time I had ever seen a
performance where somebody was like so vulnerable that it kind
of made me uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Yeah, because she's so.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
Like insecure in that role, and I was like, is
this her or is this the part?
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Or what is this? Like this is an incredible job acting.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
I mean based it on her.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Do you all undated hers two or two sisters? Of course.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
It's just like the weirdest situation, but.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
He really based did they dress like Diane Kee?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
I believe they all did.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Okay, there's a scene where he goes to visit her
family and she's like, Eh, my grandmother's racist, FYI, And
that was that was based on his real real Yeah,
going to her family's house and her the matriarch of
the family. Was you know, kind of an old school
racist or.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Whatever, like most people's grandma's are racist.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
A little bit, yeah, if not overtly, like in.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
A sweet way. Yeah, not like in an active way. Yeah,
you know, ye from the house polite, I mean some pie.
Please date your own kind.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
No.
Speaker 10 (17:43):
She was romantically linked to Woody Allen, but also Warren
Batty and al Pacino, and she never ended up marrying, said.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
One of his biggest regrets in life is not marrying her.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
It's probably one of her best accomplishments, not marrying O.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
God, he's still having kids.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
She I mean, there are so many movies I love
her in and uh, I don't know why. That one
surprised the hell out of me, And it is like
it made me so sad because I just loved her
and everything she did Reds.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
She's amazing in Reds.
Speaker 10 (18:18):
If you've never seen that Marvin's Room, Something's got to give.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I know, you guys hate something's got to give, But
I like it just for her. Remind me of something
Jack Nicholson Keanu Reeves. That's the one where Nicholson is
dating her daughter and then he like has a heart attack,
and then he falls in love with Diane Keaton. Yeah,
apparently Diane Keaton was such a good actress on set
that Nicholson pulled the director Nancy Myers aside and said,
(18:45):
I think we got a problem. She's really in love
with me. And she's like, no, she's acting. And he's like,
I don't think this is acting. You can't act like that,
you know, And she's like, no, I assure you she's acting.
And then he had this huge humility moment where Diane
Key was like, yeah, I'm acting, what are you?
Speaker 7 (19:06):
I'm morn I saw that same exact thing happened to
Owen Benjamin at the strip club. He's like, guys, that
girl she likes me right, like more than a friend.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
And that humiliation is uh, turn them loose, please zip
your pants up, put your belt on. He's like, I'll
never get over this. I'm gott to move to Utah
by five hundred acres and started an army kid on.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
Unfortunately, we don't have any kind of cause of death here.
She's just seventy nine too.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Apparently it's super quick. Oh man, she found out like
a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Well, yeah, there.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
Was one of the Saturday Night Live actresses, Padilla I
think it's her last name, posted a picture and Diane
looked extremely thin. So whatever it was, to your point,
looks like it happened, you know, very fast. But I
mean she was even just in a Justin Bieber video
like somewhat recently, so she was still like active in
(20:08):
doing things, but it was just Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
You can also like tell how authentic they were by
the response of their contemporaries when they passed and when
Jane Fonda and Goldie Hawn are like beside themselves, Ye, sad,
you just get an inkling that like she was actually
that person. She really was super sad. But what a
(20:33):
great contribution to American culture.
Speaker 10 (20:36):
It's gonna be pleasant with times the clouds and sun
today and a high of sixty eight.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
All right.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Jerry Deal joined us a little bit later on a
power hour of Steeler Talk with the voice of the
Pittsburgh Steelers Rob King. In the nine am hour, we'll
have our top five plays of the game yesterday if
Steelers on both sides of the ball outstanding specialties was
a little a little bit of a C plus B
minus yesterday, But didn't it yely matter because the offense
(21:01):
of the defense were just so sounded. This is what
we've been waiting for, seeing them take steps forward, getting
that defensive line showed up ever since Harmon came back.
It's like a different defense and offensively. Broderick Jones with
his best game of the year on a day he
needed to have it, and he silences Miles Garrett and
the Cleveland Browns who skulk back to Cleveland with a loss.
(21:26):
Mike's got your full sports report and a review of yesterday.
Steelers win over the Browns when we come back here
on DVE.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
Brought to you by Virginal Plants.
Speaker 13 (22:14):
Do you, guys ever go to a Steeler game or
watch a Steeler game and wonder afterwards did.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
They even have a plan?
Speaker 5 (22:19):
What were they doing? What were they thinking?
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Yeah, yeah, well number of times yesterday.
Speaker 13 (22:25):
No such issue, right, they actually had a plan. This
just did now. Of course they always have one, but
doesn't always come together the way it did yesterday in
a resounding twenty three nine victory over Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Here's Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 11 (22:41):
We had certain agendas that we thought were critical to
making this game unfold the way we desire for dunfold.
We thought they played behind the runner. We wanted to
do a good job of minimizing him, and I think
we did that. When you do that, then you're in
favorable one dimensional passing circumstances your defense, and I think
that was reflected in the pressure that we were able
(23:03):
to put on the quarterback on the other side of
the ball. We were able to stay on schedule and
minimize those one dimensional moments to minimize Miles Gareth impact
on the game. And so like some of those agendas
Man that we had, we were able to get accomplished.
And I think that's why we engineered victory.
Speaker 13 (23:18):
Yeah, it always comes down and run. Stop the run
first and foremost. Sometimes you need stuff beside that, but
if you can run and stop the run, you got
a really good chance. And quin Shawn Jenkins, the Browns
rookie from Ohio State, had been tearing up the league
for three games.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
He's over under was it like ninety yards?
Speaker 8 (23:36):
Yes?
Speaker 13 (23:37):
Oh and bad odds yeah yeah, I mean the odds
makers expected him to run wild yesterday. I was from
a perspective of what can go wrong for the Steelers
in this game.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
I was very concerned about him running the ball.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Yeah, and that's the concern.
Speaker 13 (23:52):
That's why I thought it was gonna be a close game.
He went twelve carries for thirty six yards, and the
Steelers conversely number one rush defense in the NFL, and
on the way to twenty three to six, which at
that point the game's over and they're just killing time.
But their first twenty one carries netted ninety nine yards
four point seven a.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
Pop, and man, every single yard was earned.
Speaker 13 (24:15):
Gonna win a lot of football games if you stop
their runner and you run effectively. Hey, I don't care
if it takes nine offensive linemen. Just get it done.
And they got it done. The defense was able to
feast in those obvious passing situations. Tomlin referenced six sacks,
including two from Jalen Ramsey, who played despite not practicing
(24:38):
on Wednesday or Thursday. Sometimes ball karma shines on those
who deserve it.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
Felt good.
Speaker 14 (24:47):
I'm gonna probably tell my kids about this. I played
in the game with TJ Wye in Now's gear.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
Then I had two sacks.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Crazy, Huh, that's crazy.
Speaker 14 (24:57):
So yeah, my first first time, I mean my whole
career having two sacks in one game.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
So that's pretty cool too.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
It things are going well when Jalen Ramsey's in a
good mood.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
Yeah, and Dan Near injured himself on one of those sacks.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
They were all he did.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
He just knocked his wind out, like he took his
own wing where the.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Way he tackled him, like when his chest was open.
So like, I think you're right, I think he did
kind of knock out win win.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
Yeah, knocked the wind out of himself.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
But you know it's funny.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
One of them.
Speaker 13 (25:25):
He caught Dylan Gabriel from behind when Gabriel escaped the
pocket left and started to run, and it just hit
me in the face. We were talking about this before the game,
Dylan Gabriel when he was an Oregon. That's a sixteen
yard game and a first out. Yeah, in the NFL,
sack gold jacket comes up and kicks your ass from behind.
It like, yeah, it's not the same game. You know,
(25:48):
Gabriel lit just or he won't. He's just getting started
in his career. But Ramsey was just well. Mike Thomas
said he's been everything they they thought and hoped he
could be, and that included Air Rodgers talking about Ramsey's
willingness to put his hand in the pile.
Speaker 15 (26:06):
I do want to make a point and talk about
Ramsey because what he did this week getting ready to play.
I've been around the game a long time, and I've
seen a lot of guys in a situation where you
got a Sunday Thursday, let's get both games where maybe
they're eighty percent eighty five percent, but they want to
(26:26):
be one hundred percent because there's I think there's a
fear of failure almost that they can paralyze them, where
if I don't play my best game, then what does
that say about me? If I'm not one hundred percent.
I think some guys are scared to go out there
and play. But for Jalen to go out there with
everything he's accomplished in this league, I just can't say
enough about the level of respect I have for him.
Then he had what two sacks and pass breakups and tackles,
(26:49):
And if there was any question about the type of
person that he is, take away the grip and gredo
a player with person and teammate. I think he just
showed all of us kind the kind of guy that
he is by going out there and playing today.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
That's the kind of thing that absolutely resonates in.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
A locker room.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Oh when you see Tua at the podium postgame talking
about his team and saying, there's no we got a
real leadership problem here. Guys come in to meetings late,
if they show up at all saying stuff like that,
and you can just tell that a team has been
in disarray for a long time. The stuff that those
(27:28):
veterans are doing. Aaron Rodgers Jalen Ramsey and DK Even
and the way that they're all helping to set the
tone without making it a me first kind of vibe.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
They're playing for each other.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Which, by the way, you know, one of the main
knocks on Aaron was that he was going to be
that guy.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Aaron Rodgers has been like every.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Comment he's had since he's been wearing a Steelers' uniform
sounds like he's working for the NFL on Fox or something.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Everyone right, you know what I mean, Like it's completely diplomatic.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
Yeah, I got Did I miss one? Or is he
just been perfect behind the microphone?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
No, That's what I'm saying is he's been a politician
in in in the right way. I don't mean that derogatorily,
Like he's handled the locker room, not in.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
The Russ Wilson way where it's like this phony you know,
vote for black and Goldie Wilson. Yeah, you know, I'll
I'll get pop machines put in on every floor. Like
he's not he's selling a bunch of bs. He's actually
boosting the character profiles of his teammates.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I was worried about him in that regard, and he
has been you know, above reproach.
Speaker 13 (28:33):
He was even I didn't get to this last week,
but he was talking about Miles Garrett and giving Garrett
his flowers before. Garrett's a great play. He didn't have
a good game yesterday, but it's a Hall of Fame
players Garrett and TJ.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Waters because he stinks here and he's good in Cleveland.
But Rogers was.
Speaker 13 (28:49):
Talking about good Garrett is and he added words to
the effect, oh, by the way, we have one of
those guys to TJ. Watt is really great, Like just
to make sure he includes your guy so he doesn't
think anything about what you're talking about relative to an opponent.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
To me, the ultimate I win move between TJ.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Watt and Miles Garrett is the fact that he only
played what percentage of snaps yesterday?
Speaker 13 (29:15):
I was pretty low for TJ. Watt sixty percent.
Speaker 16 (29:19):
Yeah, if he's taking a breather because he's already had
his half a sack, six tackles, pass batted down his
six you know, quarterback hits or whatever it was.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
I mean, he was an absolute and.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Plus they kept running out of me yesterday, which I
don't understand.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
It's like they're the only team in the league that
ran at TJ. Watt.
Speaker 13 (29:39):
Well, you know there is a theory he's good at
chasing it down from behind, and sometimes you can back
a guy off pass rush wise if you keep running
at him and you get him thinking I was gonna
be pulling guard up in my face or whatever. Like
I mean, it's hard. There's not like a plan that
works against TJ. Watt, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
It just nope.
Speaker 13 (29:58):
And they had common but it's in their run game,
which they should have coming into the game.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
There was a play where Aaron Rodgers breaks out of
the pocket. I think he ended up running for two
yards and Miles Garrett was chasing him.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
Oh I saw that and could not catch rid of
the ball just in time. That could have been bad.
That is my one real big concern with this Steelers
team right now. I do not want Aaron Rodgers running
past the line of script. Just don't even want him
running around laterally for a long time because that play
right there, if Miles Garrett would have tackled him from
(30:31):
behind and landed on him.
Speaker 13 (30:32):
I think he's tried it four times, and three times
he didn't get the first out, and one time he
did but fumbled Broderick Jones picked that up. BRODERI joke
will caught it out of the air, hit him in
the chest. I don't even know where he came from.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
By the way, if they keep and they probably will
keep running that jumbo package out with Spencer Anderson, Eventually
they have to throw.
Speaker 13 (30:51):
The ball to Spencer Anderson in the end zone. Have
toime sure Spence would be down with that. He's an
old hooper and soft. Yeah, he played AAU and he
had scholarship offers from George Mason and vcu. Oh dude,
we have to throw him the ball. That has to happen.
Go up for get rebounds. You can go up for
get a football, right if.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
You can dodge your wrench. Abbey's got your name to the.
Speaker 10 (31:14):
Lamping is coming to Pennsylvania State Parks and it sounds
like Arby's might not have the meats after all.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
On the way for you top five plays of the game.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
If you knick Stealers one O two point five dve
Steelers over the Browns yesterday at Extra STATEUM twenty three
to nine Steelers a top THEAFC North Browns sitting in
the basement with the Ravens.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
Right Bengals Thursday.
Speaker 13 (32:44):
Every other team in the AFC North has five losses,
and it's c the Steelers have one.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
They would really have to work hard to screw it
up if that were the case.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Big game Thursday night against Joe Flaco and the Bengal But.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I digress, getting to yesterday's win over the Browns, which
always feels good, getting a win over Cleveland.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Oh, it's the best, always feels And it's a long
Pittsburgh tradition here at home.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Steelers open up with the ball and right away they
go out with that jumbo package and pull a little
little trickery by sending Darnell out there, and he is
wide open, and this set the tone for what was
to come.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
The action passed rolling out US I man right open.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
It's Darnel Washington got the forty roughly up the right
sideline and has it punched out from behind, but it
trickles out of bounds at the thirty two yard line.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
So a quick play action to a wide open.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Darnell Washington wide open.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
I thought he was gonna take it all the way, Mike,
but I guess when you're three sixty, it's hard out right.
Speaker 13 (33:47):
Yeah, t backs, you know, five targets for him yesterday,
three catches. They only targeted him thirty five times his
first two years, which is just a tiny bit over
one a game. They're finally figuring out, Hey, this guy's
really big.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Yeah, and he's hard to defend.
Speaker 8 (34:02):
He's also hard to overthrow. But a rod did it yesterday.
Speaker 13 (34:05):
Yeah, all that crosser, the double play action crossing. It
was wide open.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah, he had I mean as good as Aaron Rodgers
was yesterday. I mean I noticed a couple No, he'd
be the first one to say he missed a couple
of Yes.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
That one got everybody into it immediately. The crowd was
going nuts.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Well, it was also an indication that it was going
to be another game you were going to see a
lot of Darnell Washington and the fact that Aaron Rodgers
went to him. Uh and continues to talk about, how
about the hands on Darnel Washington, that one first down
catch he had stretching out Yep, like all of a sudden,
maybe this really is a guy you can turn into
one of the NFL elites.
Speaker 13 (34:43):
Mike, I'm talking about it since they drafted him. They're
finally getting around to taking advantage of it.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
Number four.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I love what this said about the Steelers in the
first quarter yesterday. Dylan Gabriel a little bit nervous and
it only his second game starting, And you want to
what we're Terrell Austin and Mike Tomlin going to dial
up for the rookie QB.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
How about Jalen Ramsey on a blitz.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Play actually pass Gabriel, but what's coming in jailing Ramsey
coming in off the left side of the defense, hammers
Gabriel for his first sack as a member of the
Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Two yesterday for Ramsey and he only had three in
his career before that.
Speaker 13 (35:24):
Ramsey is impactful the way Mika Fitzpatrick was when he
first got here.
Speaker 8 (35:29):
Yep, immediate splash.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
And stopped being.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Eventually he stopped being and we gave him a wide
berth to bring it back, and we attributed it to
all kinds of other things.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
Well, you're doing lots of things behind the scenes. You're
making not making a statue.
Speaker 13 (35:44):
I mean, they were playing him deep middle because they
didn't want to give up home run balls. Ramsey's playing
on the line of scrimmage a lot, and he can
do some damage there.
Speaker 7 (35:52):
It's it's hard to get excited about a player for
the plays that they're negating without making.
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Yes, yes it is. At number three.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
After appearing on the DV Morning Show on Friday, he
gets the Morning Show bump Nick Herbig. People were wondering
now that heismiths back, how many snaps is he gonna
see and will he be a difference maker like he's been.
I mean, I think we now know that there's no
way Mike Tomlin's keeping this guy off the field. A
two sack day for Nick Herbig yesterday, this one in
(36:22):
the fourth quarter, second and two from Pittsburgh forty eight,
five thirty eight left in the game.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
Dylan Gabriel drops back.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
And Gabriel gets a snap back the pass looking got
under pressure.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Herbig gets it back in the fourteen, then slings him
to the turf.
Speaker 8 (36:37):
I love that his elusiveness.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
He gets a little too inside sometimes still, but Mike,
he is really developing so fast in front of our
eyes into an elite pass rusher.
Speaker 13 (36:49):
Four and a half sacks in his last three games.
I'm gonna have to start calling him NH because he's
playing like LT.
Speaker 8 (36:56):
Wow, that's a hell of a comparison.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
In the short run. Here is it wrong?
Speaker 2 (37:03):
No?
Speaker 8 (37:03):
His his speed off the edge is unblockable.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Sixteen six to start the fourth quarter, and Aaron Rodgers
and DK were doing it all game Alvarro Martin on
the call.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
But maybe the is what on the game was beta boy?
Speaker 17 (37:22):
Oh cut this down?
Speaker 18 (37:23):
He look see and I see that, Basil go dkay Metcalf, lspass.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
All twenty five yards.
Speaker 7 (37:33):
To Metcalf And I don't know what he said, but
I agree completely.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
And that made it twenty three six.
Speaker 13 (37:39):
Mike, you know they were only four for nine on
targets to Metcalf, catch us for target, which is allows
you ratio. But when you end up with ninety five
yards in the touchdown, who cares right, right, Jim Schwartz,
your genius brother. Why were you single covering him as
often as you were single covering him?
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Why made no sense? Because Aaron Rodgers is.
Speaker 13 (38:02):
Going to see that and he's gonna try to make
you pay.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
And I love the amount of targets and he got
open two more times where Rogers missed him. Yeah, and
at number one, your play of the game, number one,
play of the game in the third quarter seven forty
six left, Aaron Rodgers scrambles around and then starts making
chicken salad.
Speaker 8 (38:24):
What was he making it out of? Well?
Speaker 5 (38:27):
Connor Hayward.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
Play action pass, rolling to his right, looking downfield, looking
throws back across his body.
Speaker 9 (38:35):
Talk in the end zone.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
What a crab by Connor Hayward.
Speaker 6 (38:39):
Macnificent thrown by Rogers and Hayward with his first touchdown
of the season.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
The amount of crap that Connor Hayward took for no reason,
I will never understand. The guy has never done anything
but play hard and make big plays.
Speaker 8 (38:54):
You know.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
That was big league football there.
Speaker 13 (38:58):
That was not an easy cat, no, And it had
to be two guys who understand the game and know
what to do and think on the run and react
on the run and then make an athletic play. And
it was athletic on both ends. He does that every
once in a while. He'll find a way to contribute
on offense. In the meantime he plays his ass off
on special teams.
Speaker 5 (39:19):
That would make it sixteen to three. And that was
all by Rogers there too.
Speaker 13 (39:22):
Great ball, dude, and the point like it was so poetic.
Speaker 8 (39:26):
The way he unfolded. That was big Ben like. That
was the throwback to what we used to see. Here.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
He had a little more room to the left if
he wanted to. He still just pinpointed it right to
Hayward there. That made it sixteen to three, as they said,
and that would be all the Steelers would need. The
Browns wouldn't get more than nine thirty two yard field
goal at the end of the day. They even mangled
that by not kicking the field goal earlier in that
series of downs and wasting a few minutes on the clock.
If they wanted any other winning, here's still three scores.
(39:53):
Kick on your first fourth down and live to fight
another day. Alas, I don't think they wanted to fight anymore.
Brown's go home losers.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
I think the quarterback did. I don't think that guy's terrible.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
I heard I saw more Browns fans jumping off the
Dylan Gabriel wagon than I would have thought, given it it's.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Only his second game.
Speaker 8 (40:13):
Yeah, when you.
Speaker 7 (40:13):
Lose to Pittsburgh, that's what happens. It's so demoralizing. They
just want the coach, fire, the quarterback bench.
Speaker 13 (40:20):
The circus isn't in town yet, but it's taken the
Cleveland exit on the Ohio Turnpike and the shooter or
mess is coming.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Pittsburgh Steelers are four and one, the Cleveland Browns are
one in five, and now it's on to Cincinnati Thursday
night to take care of Bengals. With Joe Flacco at
the helmet. A. He did not look terrible yesterday against Greenbank.
I know, I know he likes playing against the Packers too.
He beat them already once this year. Yeah, but he
(40:49):
didn't have t Higgins and Jamar Chase for that one.
We'll have them on Thursday night. Jamar Chase with a
very strange postgame comment about the Steelers. I don't know
if you guys saw it, uh, but this was Jamar
after the loss to Green Bay.
Speaker 18 (41:05):
What this next game is always the most important game,
just because of divisional game also, but just the rankings
that we got going on the standards where we are
right now. We know Still's gonna try to come in
and row Dougas and kill us.
Speaker 8 (41:18):
But okay, now we're gonna wear helmets, right.
Speaker 5 (41:22):
I think so?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
Protected Steelers look to protect their lead across atop the
a f C North against.
Speaker 5 (41:34):
Yes, Hey, Ary might not have the meats after all.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
