Speaker 1 (00:00):
Comes up with the sack something one where you went
through three people to sack Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yeah, tough game for the for the Steelers last night.
If you're just tuning in, they played a great first half,
and then that.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Would have been nice if you just watched the first
half and went to sleep.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yeah, maybe that. I don't know if you could do
that on Sunday because it's a one o'clock game. But
they played the Colts, who are red hot. I don't
think it'll get me a Colts fan takeover, but it
certainly was a Packers fan takeover at Akershuer Stadium last night.
And I don't even know that it was so many people,
though there were a lot, but it had more to
(00:42):
do with the fact that Steeler fans were completely quiet,
so the Packers fans who were there and there was
a lot, but not like the San Francisco takeover that
was the worst I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Because that game was non competitive from the jump.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, from like the first play.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I actually was sitting in awesome seats for that game
with my dad for his eightieth birthday, and this is
how bad it was. Forty nine Ers fans were rooting
for the Steelers to get a first down. Yeah, They're like,
come on, man, let's like make this a kid like
complete a pass or something. And I was just like,
(01:19):
that makes it even worse.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
By the way, I have to congratulate the the Erie Diocese,
the Eerie Knights, the Catholic League champions who beat the
Pittsburgh Iron Workers from the Catholic Diocese.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It's like the talking about I went.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I went to my nephew's game yesterday, the little like
the grade school football they played at Robert Morris Stadium.
It was amazing. It's awesome and they be somehow they're
part of the Pittsburgh Diocese championship and they beat the
Pittsburgh finalists. The they were called the Iron Workers, And.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I like, you were talking about unions fighting.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
The No, there was an actual football game I saw
where there was good football played by seventh and eighth graders.
Oh yeah, yeah, there was a couple of kids. I
was like, oh my god, these kids are amazing in
that football field at Bobby mo It is really nice stadium.
It was. It was so picturesque yesterday. It was a
(02:22):
one o'clock game, so the sun was out, the clouds
were up in the sky, like maple trees popping, there's
a chapel on the hill. It looked like you're like
in the middle of it, like New England in the
apex of the Fall Foliage season. It was beautiful, and
then you're just moon. Meanwhile I was I was just
(02:43):
aut moon. And then of course drove in to the
North Shore to participate in a little pregaming for the
Steelers game, and then went home to watch the game. Yeah,
because I really like Chris Collinsworth. Everybody sort But the
funny thing is he pisses every single fan base off.
(03:07):
And it's only because there's something about his voice. If
your team's winning, you don't even get that matt at Collinsworth,
you're like, hey, you know whatever he is what he is.
When your team's losing, he just makes it sound like
he absolutely loves the other team so much that he's
rooting for them. Ah, look at what jard Love that this. Yeah,
(03:28):
if you're not paying attention, that was twenty straight passes
for Jordan Love, just a gang.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Straight comp Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So he it's something about his vocal. It's not a
fry I don't know. There's something about his pukey voice.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Then just like on the verge of like a cat vomiting, it's.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Harry Carey on Red Bull.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Wow, my my reset word for Collinsworth in press mahomes molds.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
That is his like Brett Farv you know that John
Madden had, That is his guy. Yeah. But he pisses
you off when your team stinks because he just makes
it sing like your team really stinks.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I just you know, I'll never be more pissed off
than I am at my own team when they stink.
I'm just I'm looking at the game last night, watching
the game, and I'm just like, where is the fight?
Why are we not out there hitting people?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Kim Heyward said it they didn't have a lot of
fight in him. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Well now, I mean after ten days off and getting embarrassed.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
That's the thing is, Like, I know that ahead of
the game, and Randy you had expressed it quite a
bit that you were particularly concerned going into this game,
and I was quiet in my optimism that I was like,
we had so much time off, these defensive woes, this
will get rectified, and I'm not going to let them
know how confident I am that this is going.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
To be fine.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I didn't have a good feeling about this game at all.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Well, I mean you heard me say many times Thursday
and Friday. Once I saw those ticket prices, I'm like,
you know what that means? When they go up that much,
that means the other the other fan base is coming.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah, but I just thought that was because Packers fans
travel well, and they should.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
And this is their first time to travel and see
the quarterback that used to be on their team.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
I did.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
That's kind of more where I was going, because again,
that's what I mentioned aheaded Dublin. When we thought it
was going to be Packers and Steelers, we were kind
of like, oh man, that's gonna be even.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
In retrospect, I'm glad it wasn't because that might have
been our Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Ew.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It doesn't get any easier with the Cults this Sunday,
and then the Chargers after that, yep. And then is
it Flacco and then Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Fla Will put up a lot of points yesterday, but
the Jets ended up getting the victory. AFC North is
just an awful division right now. The mess right that's
just terrible. Abbey's got a news update for you. What's
happening is.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
This hour brought to you by Windownation. It's cold to
start today, temperatures still in the mid thirties. It's sunny
today with a high sixties, So read that as your
kids are going to leave their codes at school. Suspects
have been arrested in connection with the theft of Crown
jewels from the Louver, Paris, prosecutors said on Sunday. That's
a week after the heist at the world's most visited museum.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Stun the world.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
The prosecutor said that the investigators made the arrest on
Saturday evening, adding that one of the men taken into
custody was preparing to leave the country from the airport.
But thieves took less than eight minutes to steal jewels
valued at eighty eight million euros, which is one hundred
and two million US dollars. But French officials described how
(06:56):
the intruders used a basket lift to scale the Louver's facade,
forced open a window, smash a display case, and fled.
The museum's director called the incident a terrible failure.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You saw the video of them coming down in the
basket Yeah, how how the hell did they not catch?
Was one Thornhill in charge of that security?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, it looked like you could see it from a
mile away.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Who buys that? Do you know what I'm saying? You
steal it? It's worth eighty eight million? Great, who are
you selling that to?
Speaker 6 (07:32):
You?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Melt it?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, you melt it down to grow.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
That's the only way they can get rid of it
is they have to like melt it all down.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Really, Yeah, that's I mean, that was the original story
that you did.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Right, because you can't go to what are you gonna
pawn a crown?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
You know, like can you chip a crown?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Like?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Did they have a security device inside of the artifact?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
They have it for dogs?
Speaker 5 (07:59):
You think that a microchip?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, I have like a leash on it or a
caller where it just says the louver Pierre.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Did you remember to put an iPhone tag on that crown?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh? No, come one job.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I think that's gonna be the Halloween costume, Like that's
the quick one that everybody's gonna be able to put together.
Is just like where like you know the everyday playing
clothes and put us ski mask on, be like I'm
a louver theeb.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'm a loof, I'm a loo theme baby.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I love theme Thief, I don't know, I didn't sleep.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Aerosmith and young Blood have released another version of My
Only Angel, which was the first song off of their
collaborative EP One More Time, But they have now a
Desert Road version and its acoustic version that also features comedian,
actor and musician.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Steve Martin on the banjo. You want to hear it? Sure?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Do you think they're trying to do like a country
crossover on this?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
That guitar sounds like it.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Steve's always grant at picking. He's a great banjo player,
is always has been. It's interesting how good Steven Tyler's
voice sounds.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
The lead there was young Blood.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
That's why it's not Steven Tyler.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I thought I heard young Blood weaving in there. That
was that wasn't One more time?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Jacob, can you cue that up one more time? The
lead there is young Blood. Steven Tyler is in the
background of that particular club.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Okay, that's young Blood. Yeah, Okay, that's why it sounds
so good. Yeah, it sounds a lot like Tyler.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
They're very complimentary in that we're going to find.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Out Young Will played the banjo too, right, that's.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
True with his mouth, which also is very Steven Tyler esque.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, Steve Martin was doing air banjo.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Interesting collaboration.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
It is One More Time. It's going to be released
on November the twenty first. But Steven Tyler is the
one who said that. You know, he just imagined that
there would be a banjo in that song and he
kind of couldn't let it go, and so they had
to re record it with.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Can't get this banjo out of my head, guys, you
have to do this.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Called Steve Martin exactly.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Speaking of a different Martin.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Chris Martin apparently is dating Sophie Turner, which if you
can't place that.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
The redhead from Yes, I thought she was married to
a Jonasah.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Yeah, they've they've been split for a minute.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
They called it quits in twenty twenty three, okay, and
then Chris broke it off this past summer with Jakota
Johnson after they were together.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
For eight years.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
She's like the most gorgeous person on ever.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I didn't know they were together, Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
For like a long time, right, eight years?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah, but now it sounds like they were spotted together,
and actually it sounded like Sophie Turner was dating somebody else,
Peregreene Pearson.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Does anybody know who that is?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That a falcon nose really does.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
But it was funny because the.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Relationship with Pearson reportedly fizzled, but insiders claimed that Turner
and Pearson were lasing bickering and arguing between feverish snogs
on the Dunce floor before calling it quit feverish snogs.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Hear it and Pearson, we never take a fee unless
we get money for you.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Have you been suffering from fever snogs? Well, then call
us hi.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I'm Turner and Pierson. I know what you're thinking. It's
weird to have two last.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Names and one of us is a dog. I'm sorry,
that's huge. Let's Turner in h.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Another relationship, by the way, that has seemingly uh made
the rounds. This weekend, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau made
their first public appearance together. I think they were feversly snogging.
They were attending a cabaret show at Paris's Crazy Horse
to mark Perry's forty first birthday, and they were holding
(12:41):
hands smiling.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Oh man, she's a mess.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
How you can tell she's a mess smiling.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
He's smiling, you know it's bad.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
She's breathing, I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
And running around like she's riding one of those stick ponies.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
How about him though, I mean for someone who was
a statesman, it's kind of a not a great pr
move for him. He must be like, yeah, I'm done,
I am all done doing politics.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I don't think you go back after that.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Well, I don't know what you do after your whatever
prime minister at can or what's what's the what's what's
their title up there? Prime minister head looney hed looney boom.
I mean, I don't know where you go. You know,
it's like once you're the president then what I don't know,
you know, we might be finding out.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, I mean it does feel like he's jumped the
left shark for sure.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I am sixty today on the way for you might
pursuit more from last night, just this after a second half.
I mean they in the first half, they stayed competitive,
They won the time of possession considerable amount. I think
it was like like seventeen and change, twelve and change
and score with thirty seven seconds left the throat of
(14:01):
DK and you think all right, we got the ball
to start the second half, let's punt it down their throat,
three and out and that was it.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It was over.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Well, if Jerry doulaxed on by, I know he was
no fan of the field. Here's my question to you
about akersher Stadium's field. Isn't it the sports and exhibition
authority who are in charge of that? People always hanging
on the Steelers, but is it really the Steelers responsibility
or is it the sports and exhibition authorities responsibility? Kind
(14:35):
of like renting, you know what I mean, Like if
your roof is screwed up at your renting, it's the
landlord's responsibility, right, correct.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, I don't know. They've got to fix it.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Though.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I don't ever remember this being a problem outside of
that one where they sought it over the saw it
and the ball stuck in the ground in that Miami game, right,
I don't remember it being this big of an issue.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
No, I don't think it was a huge issue last night.
But there were some you saw people slip, and there
was a kick return where Gainwell slipped that was definitely
field related, and their kicker probably didn't love the field
surface when he was trying those field goals that he
missed last night. But I wonder who is in charge
of that. We'll ask Jerry d about that. Don't forget
this week's WDV bud Light game Day bar the week
(15:20):
Monticello's and Cranberry. This NFL season stopping Monticello's and Cranberry
enjoyed three dollars bud Light sixteen ounce drafts during all
Steelers games. Bud Light easy to drink, easy to enjoy.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Streaming on all your devices no matter where I go.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I always listened to DVE.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
Comedy, sports and the rock you grew up with. Save
DVE as a preset. I'm a free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for exceptional service.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Way late doing the postgame show here on your radio
home of the Steelers, one of two point five DVE
slept in a chair and it's here for you now
to give you the sports update on the dv E
Morning Show.
Speaker 9 (16:01):
You know, Charlie and I had so much fun doing
the post game last night. And I got a text
from Chris Udavsky late last night from the trip.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
He was finishing up his work in the press box.
Speaker 9 (16:15):
Yeah, I don't think he'll mind me sharing this, but
buzz if you do mine.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Sorry.
Speaker 9 (16:22):
And I quote got in the car just in time
to hear the last two callers. The first one cursed,
the second one was snoring. Never changed, Pittsburgh snoring.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Somebody fell.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
That was an accurate description of uh thirty five twenty
five Colts over the Steelers. And it wasn't that close,
and it was way ugly, uglier than that implies.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That kind of describes the defensive effort in the second half. Yeah,
I swear and one guy snoring.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yeah, I mean that's how I was watching the game.
I was swearing at the TV in the first half
and I was snoring by the end of it.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
Yeah, they had to go and the way they wanted
it too in the first half, and it changed quickly
and dramatically in the second half, and by the fourth
quarter it was an absolute collapse.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
You just knew it. I mean you just felt it.
You watched it after they after they scored, you felt like, well,
we can't stop them again. They're going to score at
least two more touchdowns, and then they did.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
The problems plaguing the Steelers defense are surprising to those
tests with playing defense for the Steelers. Patrick Queen is
among those at a loss. Hey the whole team was
last night, had a loss to explain why what's been
happening keeps happening. I think you just gotta do it
at practice. We do it at practice.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I think when you get to the game and some
go left, kind of get a little timid or whatever
you want to call it. From that, I think you
just got to hold in, lock in, and just be
ready for the next play, in the next play, in
the next play, just keep going, like as a Warriors game. Like,
things ain't always be perfect. We just got a battle back.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
Yeah, Timid's not something that should be part of the equation.
Cam Heyward said the Steelers lack fight, among other things
against the Packers last night, and Queen acknowledged an inability
to respond when things started going south.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Rists he put it.
Speaker 9 (18:15):
Left man, things ended up on the easy paths to
disaster last night at actor.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Sure.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
I think sometimes when you get beat you kind of
get frustrated, especially like maybe you knew the situation or
maybe you just got beat man and man like whatever
it is. I think when it comes to that, I
think you kind of get frustrated as a human, you know,
and as a player, because you want to be great,
you're competitive. I think every single go on our defense
competitive and don't want to lose a reup. So I
think that's when we just got to hone in on
the details and just be better, just be honed in.
(18:43):
Just ever since I hear seeing be physical, be fast,
be aggressive.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yeah, the mental toughness that it takes to overcome a
mistake or a bad play or a big splash play
and just get back out there and keep fighting.
Speaker 9 (18:55):
Hasn't been there. It's amazing from that aspect of it.
And again, you know, schematics and playmaking aside the emotion
we saw them play with in Dublin and here against
Cleveland versus what we've seen at Cincinnati and again last night,
(19:16):
it's just night and day.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I kind of feel like we'll just be spinning our
wheels talking about this team over and over weekend and
week out, and the same issues are going to rise.
And it's because of one simple issue, and it is unfixable.
It is poorly constructed. The defense is a poorly constructed team.
The players they got are not good enough. When you
(19:39):
have to switch out your secondary and your linebackers based
on whether you think it's a running play or a
passing play. You do not have a properly constructed defense, right.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
The best defenses have a bunch of players that are
not coming off the field.
Speaker 9 (19:56):
Yeah, and then if somebody gets hurt, you put a
guy in and he's still good. And yes, the wheels
don't fall off because you're missing one guy or two guys.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
You just deal with what you have to deal with, right, Mike, Like,
that's way different than a rotation. When they have guys
on the on the defensive line different and linebackers that
they like and that they want to keep that relentless
pass rush going. You're cycling guys in and out.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
This is not that it's like I'm at a loss
to get the perfect analogy for it. But it reminds
me of like when you get in your buddy's car
and he's like, oh, you want to roll down the
window here, use these vice gripts. No, no, no, it works, No,
you just have to do this. There's always like somebody,
it's probably not the right, something's jerry rigged, is what
I'm trying to say. It's always like, no, no, we
(20:40):
have a workaround for it on everything instead of no,
everything just works. It never just works.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
There's always an oven mid on the dash because our
defroster is out right exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Oh do you want to turn the TV channel? Oh, well,
you got to stand over there and put up. But
it'll work. You just have to be the perfect scenario
and then it'll work.
Speaker 9 (21:00):
Yeah. And I'm curious and see if they keep doing this,
because you know, it's not a video game. And I
think part of the problem with mister Simon's and miscommunication
or maybe guys not reacting, is that they're in and out.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It's disjointed personality.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
In my reaching here makes perfect sense.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I'm complaining about this for years. Just the caravan of
guys going on and off the field every single time.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
Beside who is the more complete player, Cole Holcomb or
Peyton Wilson, and play that ride with him for a series.
Then you know, if it comes to the third series,
put the other guy in. You do that with running
backs all the time. You know, it doesn't have to
be a one hundred percent thing. But I don't see
it working when it's down to down in series and
(21:46):
the guys in the secondary play Clark or play Thornhill.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Okay, just play.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
One of them, and then you know, two three series later,
put the other guy in. But give a guy a
chance to lather up a little and get into the
game and react in different situation and see different things,
and maybe they can anticipate better.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I don't know I'm reaching, but.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I don't think you are.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
I don't think there's a you know, do this and
it'll be fixed. Answer to this. And that's the concerning
part for the Steelers definitely was not mystical what took
place in the second half last night against the Packers.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
They were better and we weren't. I think that's the
simple as I gonna put it. I think day one,
day rest, and we lost ours. Patrick Queen brutally honest.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Why to me? Patrick? Come on, when you watch the
Williams touchdown and slow motion and you look where Sleigh
started and where he finished, it will make you wonder
what the hell he was possibly thinking.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
About his business.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Nick.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
I know it's a business decision and all that, but
like I made again, it would have been third and
one if you blasts him out of bounds. But it's
still third and one. Like Mike, they could fall start,
something can happen.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You could.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, you see highlights every week. You guys getting stuffed
on the goal line.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
They also or they take a penalty and they go
back ten here like things happen there. He let him
walk into the end zone. And again, if you look
at it, Mike, it's from where he ended up. He
would have pushed him out at the two. He but
but what I'm saying is go back and look at it.
He could have got him out at the three or
the four if he attacked the ball. He did not.
(23:27):
He lazily moves over there and then olays them to me.
That's like what Cam Hayward is talking about when you're
saying we don't have a lot of fighting. This that's
zero fight.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
And that's I mean, I don't know how you fix
that either, well you change the person out.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
Cam's a captain, TJ. Watson captain on defense. Do they
deal with that? Do the coaches deal with that? Do
you do you change defensive play callers? Do you change
people out? I mean, they're playing the people they thought
were the best people.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Maybe they're not who they thought they were, not even
close so far.
Speaker 9 (24:09):
And you know, one thing that's been lacking the last
three games is with no turnovers, it's at least two
right in the best of times, they've given up yards,
But then the turnover racer comes out and you fix
it that way. If you're not getting them turnovers, that's
when you start giving up points, apparently.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
And that's what this defense is constructed to do. Be opportunistic,
take the ball away and then beat the dead horse
one more time.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Williams is on the thirteen yard line, slays about six
yards from the sidelines. If he takes a direct route
to him, maybe get Hi about five or four yard
line there. He's stutter steps. He takes like a jumping
stutter step like, oh, I think someone else is going
to get Oh no, it's my responsibility, like zero attack,
zero the play come to him and then deciding I
(25:03):
don't even want to make that play.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Somebody just tweeted at me Lambert would a close line
that guy and then poked him in the eyes when
he was down on the grind.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Well DK did that. He got a penalty for it. Yeah,
he k's doing like the three stooges routine.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
The NFL has got soft No, but took guy's eyes out.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
No more he hit DK on the same exact play,
knocked him out of bounds.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
You know, Steelers completed past to Kenneth Gaywell and they
knocked the ball out.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's allowed, can be done. Yeah you might
as Xavier grimbleed him. You don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Well, I mean Thornhill too trying from the past.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
H I mean.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Thornhill trying to tackle Craft up top was I mean
he got stiff armed into oblivion twenty springing down a
guy that size.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Up top twenty five to thirty yards extra yack on
that because he couldn't tackle him.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Just took a poor angle.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I take it. It's ridiculous that they let him catch it.
But yeah, and it was a push off, but but
I mean that was just I'm gonna get killed.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
I'm just even this ball up for anybody that wants it.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I don't know, I I it's hard to uh watch
any of these replays and be excited about Indie coming
in here this week because they are on a roll.
They are on fire.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
But the Packers we are a dumpster fire.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
We are the Packers are a good team. Though, I
will say that, like that wasn't the Bengals going out
there and having that you know performance they are a
good team.
Speaker 9 (26:43):
Would be the Bengals. I mean they scored thirty eight
on the Jets. Yeah, I think people at hard time
wrapping her head around Flacco being good, but that that
with those two receivers, that offense is established. If you
can activate those guys, they score, right. There are problems
always been the defense. You know, Jets beat him with
thirty nine. They didn't say, well we got thirty one.
(27:04):
That should have been enough to win.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, but I have no problem with if the Packers
beat you. It's the way they beat you. It does
not denote good things going forward. And then those injuries
are significant big time.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Sayamal Lou you lose that game last night thirty eight
to thirty five, and you're thinking a little better.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Right because you have confidence that they're getting better and
going in a direction where down the stretch, it's more
important that you are firing on all cylinders in the
second half of the season heading into the playoffs, like,
there's no indication this team is figuring anything out. Aaron
Rodgers is the best thing they have going right now,
and he's running around for his life.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
Let's say the scene at the end of the game,
after it was over, the amount of people that hung
around cheering and chanting and watching the TV postgame show
and waiting for those few Packer guys to come off
the field, then just they were chanting.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
As as Steeler fans have done that in plenty of
stadiums around the country. They got it shoved right back

How are you Randall?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
I'm fine and I hope you were doing well. I'm
sure you're a little tired, and you know you stayed
up to the bitter end.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I did it. You know, here's my first question for you.
You know, early on they were doing something that was working.
And why do you think they got away from getting
the ball to Spencer Anderson Because I think if they
would have just kept throwing the ball, that man, he's
a hard guy to bring down. Maybe that was the
funny game.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
It's the funniest thing. Aaron Rodgers said after the game,
without blinking, without hesitation. He was asked about Sayamalo's injury
and how did that impact, you know, you know, the
offensive line. He says, well, he says I lost my
He says, I lost one of my past catchers. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(30:56):
you see him. You don't see a throat of seventy
four too often. Especially early in the game. What's second
play of the game?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Now, I mean the first half it was, you know,
back and forth. It was a slog, no doubt about it.
But it looked like the Steelers were on the right
end of it. Time of possession clearly in their favor,
Rogers driving them down the field and eating up the
clock the entire way before the DK metcalf touchdown full
well knowing they're getting the ball back, and then it
was a tail of two halves last night, How does
(31:25):
Mike Tomlin contend with what seems to be less about
execution on the level of like people just not doing
their jobs the way they're supposed to. They talked about
gap integrity the week before. They seem to have short
up a little bit of that in controlling Josh Jacobs,
particularly in the first half. But this seemed like an
issue of effort, fight, and just zero determination or will
(31:50):
to win this game in the second half. That's an
attitude issue and a culture issue, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Jerry? Well, well, if that's the case, now, you know
you yeah, well that yeah, well, that could well be.
But I think the question becomes not pay people are
doing their job, people being able to do their job,
and I think that's what it comes down to. But
you did see to your point, Randall, in the first half,
(32:17):
you know, they shut down their run. We haven't seen
that they did a really good job. They were running
the bald. They had eighty one yards fifty by Jalen Warren.
They had moved up and down the field enough to
get three field goals and the touchdown. And you're right,
it was it was a tail two halves. But they're
they're not getting the pressure that they were getting early.
(32:39):
They are not getting I don't mean in the game,
I mean in earlier, earlier games. They're not getting the pressure. Now.
Jordan Love wasn't sacked. We saw what happened last week
with Joe Flacco, and Jordan Love wasn't exactly getting it
out as quick as Joe Flacco. He's hurting them down
the field. And probably the thing that is most disturbing
(33:02):
now in the last two games is all these moves
they made in the offseason in the secondary. You know,
other than Jalen Ramsey, with the exception of last week,
none of those guys are really making plays or it's
they're not making a difference.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
No, So Elliot is a great player. Deshaun Elliott has
ended up being a lot better than I think a
lot of people anticipated. But the idea that he's the
lynchpin as to whether or not this defense is any
good is crazy. Given that you paid Patrick Queen the
amount of money you paid Patrick Queen, you pay TJ
what you paid him, you pay Cam what you pay
You have all of these superstar payroll guys on the
(33:44):
defense and Deshaun Elliott goes out and it falls apart.
That is a poorly constructed defense.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
I think it was already falling apart before he went out.
And yeah, Deshaun Elliott is the most stable guy. They
well on Elliott Ann Ramsey. But my point is when
you bring in all those guys, you're bringing them in
for a reason to make a difference in the secondary.
And we have not seen a difference in the secondary.
And you you look at all the I mean, there
were a couple plays and especially those third down plays
(34:18):
that that hurt them where Jordan Love just put the
ball up basically heaved the ball up and they came
down with the plays. You know, Tyler tucker Craft made
one play that catch and run fifty nine yards and
the Christian Watson made the other one, And so they're
not they're not making any of those types of plays
(34:39):
in the secondary. And when you make those kinds of
moves in the offseason to strengthen your secondary, and you're
not seeing an impactful difference. With the exception of plays
by Jalen Ramsey over, I'm talking about this whole body
of work here in the early part of the season.
There's not a whole lot of difference from what we've
seen last year to what we're seeing this year. And
(35:00):
and you know, when you give up what they give
up again last night thirty five points. That's four games
of thirty plus thirty one plus points already four hundred
and fifty four yards offense. They have to give an
up four to seventy last week. You know their inability
to stop these teams. And I know Green Bay is
a good football team, but they did okay in the
first half and the second half complete the complete reversion.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I know they're gonna have trouble with getting the jumbo
package out there with Saamalu injured, but I don't have
as many concerns about the offense. I think they can
still put points up. If our Smith calls the right game.
I don't think after the first half that Jalen Warren
had going away from him immediately with the first three
plays of the second half was the smart thing to do.
But all right, that nowithstanding, I think that the offense
(35:45):
can still perform at a level where we can win
games defensively. Right now, it is an absolute mess. This
is the number one problem that they have. And if
Mike Tomlin truly is not running the defense and not
calling the defense as they say, Torell Austin continues to
assert that he's the one in charge. If that's the case,
does something happen there? In other organizations, play calling duties
(36:08):
get thrown around in season with regularity.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
Yeah, and so now you said that Taro Austin said
he runs the defense.
Speaker 9 (36:21):
Well, he has said multiple times he's calling the plays.
Speaker 6 (36:26):
He's calling some of the plays. That is correct, and
I would say he calls the majority of the place,
but he does not call all the plays and he's
only doing just even like with Arthur Smith. Arthur Smith
calls the plays, he makes the game plan, but he
makes the game plan under Mike Tomlins umbrella. The way
they want to approach a game and so But to
(36:47):
your point, Randall, yeah, I mean, if that's what you
think is the problem, I don't mean you, I just
mean in general, then yeah, you could see that happening.
But I mean, you know they're not going to look
at what's going on so far and say the sky
is falling. The last two games have not been good defensively,
and the first half it was it was and then
(37:08):
it goes back or the guys. Are the guys that
you brought in as good as you thought they were
and you to your point, you're paying guys a lot
of money to not make a lot of plays, and
so you know they're you know, for all that money
that they're paying the defense and the return you're getting.
I don't have a problem with Patrick Queen. I think
(37:29):
Patrick Queen has played very well. But it's it doesn't
come down to individual efforts as much as much as
it does, as Mike Tomlin likes to say, the collective.
But then you have to look at, Okay, are the
guys you're using not making the plays? Or are are
they not as good as maybe you thought they were
because you know what they did in the offseason and
(37:51):
and how giddy they were about the moves that they made.
We're not seeing that.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Miles Garrett at five sacks, I teach, seems to be
a guy who is all of a sudden, I don't
want to say easy to neutralize, but he seems to
be somebody that offenses could figure out how to handle.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
He's been he's been non impactful.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Uh, and there's yeah, I'm trying to be judicious about that.
Speaker 6 (38:21):
I know you are. I know you are, and and
and I understand and so, you know, I don't know
how much I don't you know teams are posing teams,
you know, because obviously I'm not around them during the week,
and I don't, you know, I don't have the insight
into other teams. But the way the Steelers game planned
against Miles Garrett and the way the Steelers game planned
(38:45):
against Michael Parsons last night, I don't know if other
teams are paying that same kind of mindset. I'll go
back to the Atlanta game last year, what was it
Week one or Week two where Raheem Morris said, we're
not gonna let t J. Watt, uh, you know, dominate
(39:05):
the game. And TJ. Watt dominated the game. So obviously
they tried the game plan against them and he wrecked
their game plan. Well, we haven't seen that happen a
whole lot. And that's the guy who is going to
make uh, you know, is going to be the you know,
the guy. Let's face it, he is the lynchpin of
the defense. He's the guy who makes it go, whether
they creating you know, with sacks or forcing fumbles, big
(39:28):
plays at big times, and we haven't seen that from him.
And and that's you know, that's a They're paying the
guy a lot of money to do that, and it
hasn't been happening.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Cherry, do you like broughty By? Always say flagging and
traffic control? This morning on d v E, Jerry d.
When's the next radio show? You're doing well?
Speaker 6 (39:47):
Tim Bens and I Tonight Monday night Quarterback on nine
seventy am Fox Sports Radio. Tomorrow night, I am with
the uh Calvin Foss and for Chalk Talk that's live
at the Giant Eagle Market District in Robinson. And then
I'm on with you guys again next Monday. So but
(40:11):
that's that's what I got tonight and tomorrow and of
my Tomlin news conference tomorrow for those people who'd like
to listen. I wrap it up Tuesday after.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Does Pitt play on the field again this weekend?
Speaker 6 (40:22):
That's there for Okay, I couldn't tell you, but all
of a sudden, I guess all the pit bands don't
like me.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Because of your tweet last night that you could see
the pit logo on a Steelers legan.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Yeah. Well, well I think it was the other day
when I said, you know, they, I said, they resawed
the field and get it all ready for prime time
after all the complaints in the national embarrassment. And I said,
and so what happens Pitt plays on it first, And
all you had to do is if you were, you know,
above the field, put the binoculars on the field and
(40:55):
see all the divot marks for this brand new field
that they wanted to get that they were hopefully going
to get ready for primetime. I mean, it played fine,
but I mean for a brand new field, it didn't
look like a brand new field after Pitt played. And
that's what happens when you play. I don't care who
it is. I don't care if it was Pitt, Penn State, LSU, Alabama.
It's the it's the traffic that they have on the field,
(41:17):
and uh, you know, after all the noise about how
bad it was, and now you know, you know, it
became a national story and now you have national primetime,
and uh, you know the field wasn't exacting. You wouldn't
exactly say it was in pristine condition. It wasn't Oakmond
or Laurel Valley.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Let's ask that, Jerry d. Thanks buddy, we'll talk to
you next week.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Wherever you're driving. DVE has everything you need for the drive.

says Chad Tyson Afternoons on DVE.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Hey, it's Bill Crawford for ZEROZ.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
All right, picked this.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
You're watching the game. Our team just fumbled on the
one yard line, and then you knock your
Comes up with the sack something one where you went
through three people to sack Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Yeah, tough game for the for the Steelers last night.
If you're just tuning in, they played a great first half,
and then that.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Would have been nice if you just watched the first
half and went to sleep.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yeah, maybe that. I don't know if you could do
that on Sunday because it's a one o'clock game. But
they played the Colts, who are red hot. I don't
think it'll get me a Colts fan takeover, but it
certainly was a Packers fan takeover at Akershuer Stadium last night.
And I don't even know that it was so many people,
though there were a lot, but it had more to
(00:42):
do with the fact that Steeler fans were completely quiet,
so the Packers fans who were there and there was
a lot, but not like the San Francisco takeover that
was the worst I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Because that game was non competitive from the jump.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, from like the first play.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I actually was sitting in awesome seats for that game
with my dad for his eightieth birthday, and this is
how bad it was. Forty nine Ers fans were rooting
for the Steelers to get a first down. Yeah, They're like,
come on, man, let's like make this a kid like
complete a pass or something. And I was just like,
(01:19):
that makes it even worse.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
By the way, I have to congratulate the the Erie Diocese,
the Eerie Knights, the Catholic League champions who beat the
Pittsburgh Iron Workers from the Catholic Diocese.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It's like the talking about I went.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I went to my nephew's game yesterday, the little like
the grade school football they played at Robert Morris Stadium.
It was amazing. It's awesome and they be somehow they're
part of the Pittsburgh Diocese championship and they beat the
Pittsburgh finalists. The they were called the Iron Workers, And.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
I like, you were talking about unions fighting.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
The No, there was an actual football game I saw
where there was good football played by seventh and eighth graders.
Oh yeah, yeah, there was a couple of kids. I
was like, oh my god, these kids are amazing in
that football field at Bobby mo It is really nice stadium.
It was. It was so picturesque yesterday. It was a
(02:22):
one o'clock game, so the sun was out, the clouds
were up in the sky, like maple trees popping, there's
a chapel on the hill. It looked like you're like
in the middle of it, like New England in the
apex of the Fall Foliage season. It was beautiful, and
then you're just moon. Meanwhile I was I was just
(02:43):
aut moon. And then of course drove in to the
North Shore to participate in a little pregaming for the
Steelers game, and then went home to watch the game. Yeah,
because I really like Chris Collinsworth. Everybody sort But the
funny thing is he pisses every single fan base off.
(03:07):
And it's only because there's something about his voice. If
your team's winning, you don't even get that matt at Collinsworth,
you're like, hey, you know whatever he is what he is.
When your team's losing, he just makes it sound like
he absolutely loves the other team so much that he's
rooting for them. Ah, look at what jard Love that this. Yeah,
(03:28):
if you're not paying attention, that was twenty straight passes
for Jordan Love, just a gang.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Straight comp Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So he it's something about his vocal. It's not a
fry I don't know. There's something about his pukey voice.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Then just like on the verge of like a cat vomiting, it's.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Harry Carey on Red Bull.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Wow, my my reset word for Collinsworth in press mahomes molds.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
That is his like Brett Farv you know that John
Madden had, That is his guy. Yeah. But he pisses
you off when your team stinks because he just makes
it sing like your team really stinks.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I just you know, I'll never be more pissed off
than I am at my own team when they stink.
I'm just I'm looking at the game last night, watching
the game, and I'm just like, where is the fight?
Why are we not out there hitting people?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Kim Heyward said it they didn't have a lot of
fight in him. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Well now, I mean after ten days off and getting embarrassed.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
That's the thing is, Like, I know that ahead of
the game, and Randy you had expressed it quite a
bit that you were particularly concerned going into this game,
and I was quiet in my optimism that I was like,
we had so much time off, these defensive woes, this
will get rectified, and I'm not going to let them
know how confident I am that this is going.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
To be fine.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I didn't have a good feeling about this game at all.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Well, I mean you heard me say many times Thursday
and Friday. Once I saw those ticket prices, I'm like,
you know what that means? When they go up that much,
that means the other the other fan base is coming.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah, but I just thought that was because Packers fans
travel well, and they should.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
And this is their first time to travel and see
the quarterback that used to be on their team.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
I did.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
That's kind of more where I was going, because again,
that's what I mentioned aheaded Dublin. When we thought it
was going to be Packers and Steelers, we were kind
of like, oh man, that's gonna be even.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
In retrospect, I'm glad it wasn't because that might have
been our Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Ew.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
It doesn't get any easier with the Cults this Sunday,
and then the Chargers after that, yep. And then is
it Flacco and then Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Fla Will put up a lot of points yesterday, but
the Jets ended up getting the victory. AFC North is
just an awful division right now. The mess right that's
just terrible. Abbey's got a news update for you. What's
happening is.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
This hour brought to you by Windownation. It's cold to
start today, temperatures still in the mid thirties. It's sunny
today with a high sixties, So read that as your
kids are going to leave their codes at school. Suspects
have been arrested in connection with the theft of Crown
jewels from the Louver, Paris, prosecutors said on Sunday. That's
a week after the heist at the world's most visited museum.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Stun the world.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
The prosecutor said that the investigators made the arrest on
Saturday evening, adding that one of the men taken into
custody was preparing to leave the country from the airport.
But thieves took less than eight minutes to steal jewels
valued at eighty eight million euros, which is one hundred
and two million US dollars. But French officials described how
(06:56):
the intruders used a basket lift to scale the Louver's facade,
forced open a window, smash a display case, and fled.
The museum's director called the incident a terrible failure.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You saw the video of them coming down in the
basket Yeah, how how the hell did they not catch?
Was one Thornhill in charge of that security?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, it looked like you could see it from a
mile away.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Who buys that? Do you know what I'm saying? You
steal it? It's worth eighty eight million? Great, who are
you selling that to?
Speaker 6 (07:32):
You?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Melt it?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, you melt it down to grow.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
That's the only way they can get rid of it
is they have to like melt it all down.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Really, Yeah, that's I mean, that was the original story
that you did.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Right, because you can't go to what are you gonna
pawn a crown?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
You know, like can you chip a crown?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Like?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Did they have a security device inside of the artifact?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
They have it for dogs?
Speaker 5 (07:59):
You think that a microchip?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, I have like a leash on it or a
caller where it just says the louver Pierre.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Did you remember to put an iPhone tag on that crown?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Oh? No, come one job.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I think that's gonna be the Halloween costume, Like that's
the quick one that everybody's gonna be able to put together.
Is just like where like you know the everyday playing
clothes and put us ski mask on, be like I'm
a louver theeb.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I'm a loof, I'm a loo theme baby.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I love theme Thief, I don't know, I didn't sleep.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Aerosmith and young Blood have released another version of My
Only Angel, which was the first song off of their
collaborative EP One More Time, But they have now a
Desert Road version and its acoustic version that also features comedian,
actor and musician.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Steve Martin on the banjo. You want to hear it? Sure?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Do you think they're trying to do like a country
crossover on this?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
That guitar sounds like it.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Steve's always grant at picking. He's a great banjo player,
is always has been. It's interesting how good Steven Tyler's
voice sounds.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
The lead there was young Blood.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
That's why it's not Steven Tyler.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I thought I heard young Blood weaving in there. That
was that wasn't One more time?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
Jacob, can you cue that up one more time? The
lead there is young Blood. Steven Tyler is in the
background of that particular club.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Okay, that's young Blood. Yeah, Okay, that's why it sounds
so good. Yeah, it sounds a lot like Tyler.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
They're very complimentary in that we're going to find.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Out Young Will played the banjo too, right, that's.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
True with his mouth, which also is very Steven Tyler esque.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, Steve Martin was doing air banjo.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Interesting collaboration.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
It is One More Time. It's going to be released
on November the twenty first. But Steven Tyler is the
one who said that. You know, he just imagined that
there would be a banjo in that song and he
kind of couldn't let it go, and so they had
to re record it with.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Can't get this banjo out of my head, guys, you
have to do this.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Called Steve Martin exactly.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Speaking of a different Martin.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Chris Martin apparently is dating Sophie Turner, which if you
can't place that.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
The redhead from Yes, I thought she was married to
a Jonasah.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Yeah, they've they've been split for a minute.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
They called it quits in twenty twenty three, okay, and
then Chris broke it off this past summer with Jakota
Johnson after they were together.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
For eight years.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
She's like the most gorgeous person on ever.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I didn't know they were together, Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
For like a long time, right, eight years?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah, but now it sounds like they were spotted together,
and actually it sounded like Sophie Turner was dating somebody else,
Peregreene Pearson.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Does anybody know who that is?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That a falcon nose really does.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
But it was funny because the.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Relationship with Pearson reportedly fizzled, but insiders claimed that Turner
and Pearson were lasing bickering and arguing between feverish snogs
on the Dunce floor before calling it quit feverish snogs.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Hear it and Pearson, we never take a fee unless
we get money for you.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Have you been suffering from fever snogs? Well, then call
us hi.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I'm Turner and Pierson. I know what you're thinking. It's
weird to have two last.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Names and one of us is a dog. I'm sorry,
that's huge. Let's Turner in h.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Another relationship, by the way, that has seemingly uh made
the rounds. This weekend, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau made
their first public appearance together. I think they were feversly snogging.
They were attending a cabaret show at Paris's Crazy Horse
to mark Perry's forty first birthday, and they were holding
(12:41):
hands smiling.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Oh man, she's a mess.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
How you can tell she's a mess smiling.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
He's smiling, you know it's bad.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
She's breathing, I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
And running around like she's riding one of those stick ponies.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
How about him though, I mean for someone who was
a statesman, it's kind of a not a great pr
move for him. He must be like, yeah, I'm done,
I am all done doing politics.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I don't think you go back after that.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Well, I don't know what you do after your whatever
prime minister at can or what's what's the what's what's
their title up there? Prime minister head looney hed looney boom.
I mean, I don't know where you go. You know,
it's like once you're the president then what I don't know,
you know, we might be finding out.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, I mean it does feel like he's jumped the
left shark for sure.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I am sixty today on the way for you might
pursuit more from last night, just this after a second half.
I mean they in the first half, they stayed competitive,
They won the time of possession considerable amount. I think
it was like like seventeen and change, twelve and change
and score with thirty seven seconds left the throat of
(14:01):
DK and you think all right, we got the ball
to start the second half, let's punt it down their throat,
three and out and that was it.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
It was over.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Well, if Jerry doulaxed on by, I know he was
no fan of the field. Here's my question to you
about akersher Stadium's field. Isn't it the sports and exhibition
authority who are in charge of that? People always hanging
on the Steelers, but is it really the Steelers responsibility
or is it the sports and exhibition authorities responsibility? Kind
(14:35):
of like renting, you know what I mean, Like if
your roof is screwed up at your renting, it's the
landlord's responsibility, right, correct.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, I don't know. They've got to fix it.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Though.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I don't ever remember this being a problem outside of
that one where they sought it over the saw it
and the ball stuck in the ground in that Miami game, right,
I don't remember it being this big of an issue.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
No, I don't think it was a huge issue last night.
But there were some you saw people slip, and there
was a kick return where Gainwell slipped that was definitely
field related, and their kicker probably didn't love the field
surface when he was trying those field goals that he
missed last night. But I wonder who is in charge
of that. We'll ask Jerry d about that. Don't forget
this week's WDV bud Light game Day bar the week
(15:20):
Monticello's and Cranberry. This NFL season stopping Monticello's and Cranberry
enjoyed three dollars bud Light sixteen ounce drafts during all
Steelers games. Bud Light easy to drink, easy to enjoy.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Streaming on all your devices no matter where I go.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I always listened to DVE.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
Comedy, sports and the rock you grew up with. Save
DVE as a preset. I'm a free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
From the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for exceptional service.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Way late doing the postgame show here on your radio
home of the Steelers, one of two point five DVE
slept in a chair and it's here for you now
to give you the sports update on the dv E
Morning Show.
Speaker 9 (16:01):
You know, Charlie and I had so much fun doing
the post game last night. And I got a text
from Chris Udavsky late last night from the trip.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
He was finishing up his work in the press box.
Speaker 9 (16:15):
Yeah, I don't think he'll mind me sharing this, but
buzz if you do mine.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Sorry.
Speaker 9 (16:22):
And I quote got in the car just in time
to hear the last two callers. The first one cursed,
the second one was snoring. Never changed, Pittsburgh snoring.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Somebody fell.
Speaker 9 (16:37):
That was an accurate description of uh thirty five twenty
five Colts over the Steelers. And it wasn't that close,
and it was way ugly, uglier than that implies.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That kind of describes the defensive effort in the second half. Yeah,
I swear and one guy snoring.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yeah, I mean that's how I was watching the game.
I was swearing at the TV in the first half
and I was snoring by the end of it.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
Yeah, they had to go and the way they wanted
it too in the first half, and it changed quickly
and dramatically in the second half, and by the fourth
quarter it was an absolute collapse.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
You just knew it. I mean you just felt it.
You watched it after they after they scored, you felt like, well,
we can't stop them again. They're going to score at
least two more touchdowns, and then they did.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
The problems plaguing the Steelers defense are surprising to those
tests with playing defense for the Steelers. Patrick Queen is
among those at a loss. Hey the whole team was
last night, had a loss to explain why what's been
happening keeps happening. I think you just gotta do it
at practice. We do it at practice.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I think when you get to the game and some
go left, kind of get a little timid or whatever
you want to call it. From that, I think you
just got to hold in, lock in, and just be
ready for the next play, in the next play, in
the next play, just keep going, like as a Warriors game. Like,
things ain't always be perfect. We just got a battle back.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
Yeah, Timid's not something that should be part of the equation.
Cam Heyward said the Steelers lack fight, among other things
against the Packers last night, and Queen acknowledged an inability
to respond when things started going south.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Rists he put it.
Speaker 9 (18:15):
Left man, things ended up on the easy paths to
disaster last night at actor.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Sure.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
I think sometimes when you get beat you kind of
get frustrated, especially like maybe you knew the situation or
maybe you just got beat man and man like whatever
it is. I think when it comes to that, I
think you kind of get frustrated as a human, you know,
and as a player, because you want to be great,
you're competitive. I think every single go on our defense
competitive and don't want to lose a reup. So I
think that's when we just got to hone in on
the details and just be better, just be honed in.
(18:43):
Just ever since I hear seeing be physical, be fast,
be aggressive.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yeah, the mental toughness that it takes to overcome a
mistake or a bad play or a big splash play
and just get back out there and keep fighting.
Speaker 9 (18:55):
Hasn't been there. It's amazing from that aspect of it.
And again, you know, schematics and playmaking aside the emotion
we saw them play with in Dublin and here against
Cleveland versus what we've seen at Cincinnati and again last night,
(19:16):
it's just night and day.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I kind of feel like we'll just be spinning our
wheels talking about this team over and over weekend and
week out, and the same issues are going to rise.
And it's because of one simple issue, and it is unfixable.
It is poorly constructed. The defense is a poorly constructed team.
The players they got are not good enough. When you
(19:39):
have to switch out your secondary and your linebackers based
on whether you think it's a running play or a
passing play. You do not have a properly constructed defense, right.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
The best defenses have a bunch of players that are
not coming off the field.
Speaker 9 (19:56):
Yeah, and then if somebody gets hurt, you put a
guy in and he's still good. And yes, the wheels
don't fall off because you're missing one guy or two guys.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
You just deal with what you have to deal with, right, Mike, Like,
that's way different than a rotation. When they have guys
on the on the defensive line different and linebackers that
they like and that they want to keep that relentless
pass rush going. You're cycling guys in and out.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
This is not that it's like I'm at a loss
to get the perfect analogy for it. But it reminds
me of like when you get in your buddy's car
and he's like, oh, you want to roll down the
window here, use these vice gripts. No, no, no, it works, No,
you just have to do this. There's always like somebody,
it's probably not the right, something's jerry rigged, is what
I'm trying to say. It's always like, no, no, we
(20:40):
have a workaround for it on everything instead of no,
everything just works. It never just works.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
There's always an oven mid on the dash because our
defroster is out right exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Oh do you want to turn the TV channel? Oh, well,
you got to stand over there and put up. But
it'll work. You just have to be the perfect scenario
and then it'll work.
Speaker 9 (21:00):
Yeah. And I'm curious and see if they keep doing this,
because you know, it's not a video game. And I
think part of the problem with mister Simon's and miscommunication
or maybe guys not reacting, is that they're in and out.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It's disjointed personality.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
In my reaching here makes perfect sense.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I'm complaining about this for years. Just the caravan of
guys going on and off the field every single time.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
Beside who is the more complete player, Cole Holcomb or
Peyton Wilson, and play that ride with him for a series.
Then you know, if it comes to the third series,
put the other guy in. You do that with running
backs all the time. You know, it doesn't have to
be a one hundred percent thing. But I don't see
it working when it's down to down in series and
(21:46):
the guys in the secondary play Clark or play Thornhill.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Okay, just play.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
One of them, and then you know, two three series later,
put the other guy in. But give a guy a
chance to lather up a little and get into the
game and react in different situation and see different things,
and maybe they can anticipate better.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I don't know I'm reaching, but.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I don't think you are.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
I don't think there's a you know, do this and
it'll be fixed. Answer to this. And that's the concerning
part for the Steelers definitely was not mystical what took
place in the second half last night against the Packers.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
They were better and we weren't. I think that's the
simple as I gonna put it. I think day one,
day rest, and we lost ours. Patrick Queen brutally honest.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Why to me? Patrick? Come on, when you watch the
Williams touchdown and slow motion and you look where Sleigh
started and where he finished, it will make you wonder
what the hell he was possibly thinking.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
About his business.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Nick.
Speaker 9 (22:50):
I know it's a business decision and all that, but
like I made again, it would have been third and
one if you blasts him out of bounds. But it's
still third and one. Like Mike, they could fall start,
something can happen.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You could.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, you see highlights every week. You guys getting stuffed
on the goal line.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
They also or they take a penalty and they go
back ten here like things happen there. He let him
walk into the end zone. And again, if you look
at it, Mike, it's from where he ended up. He
would have pushed him out at the two. He but
but what I'm saying is go back and look at it.
He could have got him out at the three or
the four if he attacked the ball. He did not.
(23:27):
He lazily moves over there and then olays them to me.
That's like what Cam Hayward is talking about when you're
saying we don't have a lot of fighting. This that's
zero fight.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
And that's I mean, I don't know how you fix
that either, well you change the person out.
Speaker 9 (23:47):
Cam's a captain, TJ. Watson captain on defense. Do they
deal with that? Do the coaches deal with that? Do
you do you change defensive play callers? Do you change
people out? I mean, they're playing the people they thought
were the best people.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Maybe they're not who they thought they were, not even
close so far.
Speaker 9 (24:09):
And you know, one thing that's been lacking the last
three games is with no turnovers, it's at least two
right in the best of times, they've given up yards,
But then the turnover racer comes out and you fix
it that way. If you're not getting them turnovers, that's
when you start giving up points, apparently.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
And that's what this defense is constructed to do. Be opportunistic,
take the ball away and then beat the dead horse
one more time.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Williams is on the thirteen yard line, slays about six
yards from the sidelines. If he takes a direct route
to him, maybe get Hi about five or four yard
line there. He's stutter steps. He takes like a jumping
stutter step like, oh, I think someone else is going
to get Oh no, it's my responsibility, like zero attack,
zero the play come to him and then deciding I
(25:03):
don't even want to make that play.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Somebody just tweeted at me Lambert would a close line
that guy and then poked him in the eyes when
he was down on the grind.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Well DK did that. He got a penalty for it. Yeah,
he k's doing like the three stooges routine.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
The NFL has got soft No, but took guy's eyes out.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
No more he hit DK on the same exact play,
knocked him out of bounds.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
You know, Steelers completed past to Kenneth Gaywell and they
knocked the ball out.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's allowed, can be done. Yeah you might
as Xavier grimbleed him. You don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Well, I mean Thornhill too trying from the past.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
H I mean.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Thornhill trying to tackle Craft up top was I mean
he got stiff armed into oblivion twenty springing down a
guy that size.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Up top twenty five to thirty yards extra yack on
that because he couldn't tackle him.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Just took a poor angle.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I take it. It's ridiculous that they let him catch it.
But yeah, and it was a push off, but but
I mean that was just I'm gonna get killed.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
I'm just even this ball up for anybody that wants it.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I don't know, I I it's hard to uh watch
any of these replays and be excited about Indie coming
in here this week because they are on a roll.
They are on fire.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
But the Packers we are a dumpster fire.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
We are the Packers are a good team. Though, I
will say that, like that wasn't the Bengals going out
there and having that you know performance they are a
good team.
Speaker 9 (26:43):
Would be the Bengals. I mean they scored thirty eight
on the Jets. Yeah, I think people at hard time
wrapping her head around Flacco being good, but that that
with those two receivers, that offense is established. If you
can activate those guys, they score, right. There are problems
always been the defense. You know, Jets beat him with
thirty nine. They didn't say, well we got thirty one.
(27:04):
That should have been enough to win.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, but I have no problem with if the Packers
beat you. It's the way they beat you. It does
not denote good things going forward. And then those injuries
are significant big time.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Sayamal Lou you lose that game last night thirty eight
to thirty five, and you're thinking a little better.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Right because you have confidence that they're getting better and
going in a direction where down the stretch, it's more
important that you are firing on all cylinders in the
second half of the season heading into the playoffs, like,
there's no indication this team is figuring anything out. Aaron
Rodgers is the best thing they have going right now,
and he's running around for his life.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
Let's say the scene at the end of the game,
after it was over, the amount of people that hung
around cheering and chanting and watching the TV postgame show
and waiting for those few Packer guys to come off
the field, then just they were chanting.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
As as Steeler fans have done that in plenty of
stadiums around the country. They got it shoved right back
last night, Madam, he's got well, actually, Abbey, he's not
gonna be doing the news year because Rob Kings coming
in for a hour Power Hour as steal their talk

(28:24):
but first, Mike this gist.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
Then, when your team has a savvy veteran quarterback capable
of getting some things done and a kicker that can
hit field goals from Cleveland but can't stop anybody on defense,
it's a problem, but it's also an opportunity if you
have the bet part, sportsbook and online casino app. In

Mike Persuda. It's Jerry. Do you like Jerry de Good morning?
How are you Randall?
Speaker 6 (30:12):
I'm fine and I hope you were doing well. I'm
sure you're a little tired, and you know you stayed
up to the bitter end.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I did it. You know, here's my first question for you.
You know, early on they were doing something that was working.
And why do you think they got away from getting
the ball to Spencer Anderson Because I think if they
would have just kept throwing the ball, that man, he's
a hard guy to bring down. Maybe that was the
funny game.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
It's the funniest thing. Aaron Rodgers said after the game,
without blinking, without hesitation. He was asked about Sayamalo's injury
and how did that impact, you know, you know, the
offensive line. He says, well, he says I lost my
He says, I lost one of my past catchers. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(30:56):
you see him. You don't see a throat of seventy
four too often. Especially early in the game. What's second
play of the game?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Now, I mean the first half it was, you know,
back and forth. It was a slog, no doubt about it.
But it looked like the Steelers were on the right
end of it. Time of possession clearly in their favor,
Rogers driving them down the field and eating up the
clock the entire way before the DK metcalf touchdown full
well knowing they're getting the ball back, and then it
was a tail of two halves last night, How does
(31:25):
Mike Tomlin contend with what seems to be less about
execution on the level of like people just not doing
their jobs the way they're supposed to. They talked about
gap integrity the week before. They seem to have short
up a little bit of that in controlling Josh Jacobs,
particularly in the first half. But this seemed like an
issue of effort, fight, and just zero determination or will
(31:50):
to win this game in the second half. That's an
attitude issue and a culture issue, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
Jerry? Well, well, if that's the case, now, you know
you yeah, well that yeah, well, that could well be.
But I think the question becomes not pay people are
doing their job, people being able to do their job,
and I think that's what it comes down to. But
you did see to your point, Randall, in the first half,
(32:17):
you know, they shut down their run. We haven't seen
that they did a really good job. They were running
the bald. They had eighty one yards fifty by Jalen Warren.
They had moved up and down the field enough to
get three field goals and the touchdown. And you're right,
it was it was a tail two halves. But they're
they're not getting the pressure that they were getting early.
(32:39):
They are not getting I don't mean in the game,
I mean in earlier, earlier games. They're not getting the pressure. Now.
Jordan Love wasn't sacked. We saw what happened last week
with Joe Flacco, and Jordan Love wasn't exactly getting it
out as quick as Joe Flacco. He's hurting them down
the field. And probably the thing that is most disturbing
(33:02):
now in the last two games is all these moves
they made in the offseason in the secondary. You know,
other than Jalen Ramsey, with the exception of last week,
none of those guys are really making plays or it's
they're not making a difference.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
No, So Elliot is a great player. Deshaun Elliott has
ended up being a lot better than I think a
lot of people anticipated. But the idea that he's the
lynchpin as to whether or not this defense is any
good is crazy. Given that you paid Patrick Queen the
amount of money you paid Patrick Queen, you pay TJ
what you paid him, you pay Cam what you pay
You have all of these superstar payroll guys on the
(33:44):
defense and Deshaun Elliott goes out and it falls apart.
That is a poorly constructed defense.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
I think it was already falling apart before he went out.
And yeah, Deshaun Elliott is the most stable guy. They
well on Elliott Ann Ramsey. But my point is when
you bring in all those guys, you're bringing them in
for a reason to make a difference in the secondary.
And we have not seen a difference in the secondary.
And you you look at all the I mean, there
were a couple plays and especially those third down plays
(34:18):
that that hurt them where Jordan Love just put the
ball up basically heaved the ball up and they came
down with the plays. You know, Tyler tucker Craft made
one play that catch and run fifty nine yards and
the Christian Watson made the other one, And so they're
not they're not making any of those types of plays
(34:39):
in the secondary. And when you make those kinds of
moves in the offseason to strengthen your secondary, and you're
not seeing an impactful difference. With the exception of plays
by Jalen Ramsey over, I'm talking about this whole body
of work here in the early part of the season.
There's not a whole lot of difference from what we've
seen last year to what we're seeing this year. And
(35:00):
and you know, when you give up what they give
up again last night thirty five points. That's four games
of thirty plus thirty one plus points already four hundred
and fifty four yards offense. They have to give an
up four to seventy last week. You know their inability
to stop these teams. And I know Green Bay is
a good football team, but they did okay in the
first half and the second half complete the complete reversion.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I know they're gonna have trouble with getting the jumbo
package out there with Saamalu injured, but I don't have
as many concerns about the offense. I think they can
still put points up. If our Smith calls the right game.
I don't think after the first half that Jalen Warren
had going away from him immediately with the first three
plays of the second half was the smart thing to do.
But all right, that nowithstanding, I think that the offense
(35:45):
can still perform at a level where we can win
games defensively. Right now, it is an absolute mess. This
is the number one problem that they have. And if
Mike Tomlin truly is not running the defense and not
calling the defense as they say, Torell Austin continues to
assert that he's the one in charge. If that's the case,
does something happen there? In other organizations, play calling duties
(36:08):
get thrown around in season with regularity.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
Yeah, and so now you said that Taro Austin said
he runs the defense.
Speaker 9 (36:21):
Well, he has said multiple times he's calling the plays.
Speaker 6 (36:26):
He's calling some of the plays. That is correct, and
I would say he calls the majority of the place,
but he does not call all the plays and he's
only doing just even like with Arthur Smith. Arthur Smith
calls the plays, he makes the game plan, but he
makes the game plan under Mike Tomlins umbrella. The way
they want to approach a game and so But to
(36:47):
your point, Randall, yeah, I mean, if that's what you
think is the problem, I don't mean you, I just
mean in general, then yeah, you could see that happening.
But I mean, you know they're not going to look
at what's going on so far and say the sky
is falling. The last two games have not been good defensively,
and the first half it was it was and then
(37:08):
it goes back or the guys. Are the guys that
you brought in as good as you thought they were
and you to your point, you're paying guys a lot
of money to not make a lot of plays, and
so you know they're you know, for all that money
that they're paying the defense and the return you're getting.
I don't have a problem with Patrick Queen. I think
(37:29):
Patrick Queen has played very well. But it's it doesn't
come down to individual efforts as much as much as
it does, as Mike Tomlin likes to say, the collective.
But then you have to look at, Okay, are the
guys you're using not making the plays? Or are are
they not as good as maybe you thought they were
because you know what they did in the offseason and
(37:51):
and how giddy they were about the moves that they made.
We're not seeing that.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Miles Garrett at five sacks, I teach, seems to be
a guy who is all of a sudden, I don't
want to say easy to neutralize, but he seems to
be somebody that offenses could figure out how to handle.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
He's been he's been non impactful.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Uh, and there's yeah, I'm trying to be judicious about that.
Speaker 6 (38:21):
I know you are. I know you are, and and
and I understand and so, you know, I don't know
how much I don't you know teams are posing teams,
you know, because obviously I'm not around them during the week,
and I don't, you know, I don't have the insight
into other teams. But the way the Steelers game planned
against Miles Garrett and the way the Steelers game planned
(38:45):
against Michael Parsons last night, I don't know if other
teams are paying that same kind of mindset. I'll go
back to the Atlanta game last year, what was it
Week one or Week two where Raheem Morris said, we're
not gonna let t J. Watt, uh, you know, dominate
(39:05):
the game. And TJ. Watt dominated the game. So obviously
they tried the game plan against them and he wrecked
their game plan. Well, we haven't seen that happen a
whole lot. And that's the guy who is going to
make uh, you know, is going to be the you know,
the guy. Let's face it, he is the lynchpin of
the defense. He's the guy who makes it go, whether
they creating you know, with sacks or forcing fumbles, big
(39:28):
plays at big times, and we haven't seen that from him.
And and that's you know, that's a They're paying the
guy a lot of money to do that, and it
hasn't been happening.
Speaker 1 (39:37):

to listen. I wrap it up Tuesday after.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Does Pitt play on the field again this weekend?
Speaker 6 (40:22):
That's there for Okay, I couldn't tell you, but all
of a sudden, I guess all the pit bands don't
like me.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Because of your tweet last night that you could see
the pit logo on a Steelers legan.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Yeah. Well, well I think it was the other day
when I said, you know, they, I said, they resawed
the field and get it all ready for prime time
after all the complaints in the national embarrassment. And I said,
and so what happens Pitt plays on it first, And
all you had to do is if you were, you know,
above the field, put the binoculars on the field and
(40:55):
see all the divot marks for this brand new field
that they wanted to get that they were hopefully going
to get ready for primetime. I mean, it played fine,
but I mean for a brand new field, it didn't
look like a brand new field after Pitt played. And
that's what happens when you play. I don't care who
it is. I don't care if it was Pitt, Penn State, LSU, Alabama.
It's the it's the traffic that they have on the field,
(41:17):
and uh, you know, after all the noise about how
bad it was, and now you know, you know, it
became a national story and now you have national primetime,
and uh, you know the field wasn't exacting. You wouldn't
exactly say it was in pristine condition. It wasn't Oakmond
or Laurel Valley.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Let's ask that, Jerry d. Thanks buddy, we'll talk to
