Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Pittsburgh It's your radio home for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
One o two point five d VE Steelers COLT Sunday,
one o'clock. All of the action right here on the
flagship station of the Black and Gold and joining us
from the Pittsburgh Steelers right now.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Wide receiver Calvin Austin Calvin, how long.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Are you, buddy? What's up?
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I'm doing great, Glad to be on here to talk
to you.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Every time I see you, I like, you know, make
a play or something I talk to my buddies about.
I'm like, you know, he was on the show and
we were talking about barbecue, and I'm telling you right now,
I've never wanted to go somewhere for food vacation as
much as I wanted to go to Memphis after I
talk to you the first time.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Oh no, most definitely.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I mean that's one of the I mean, I feel
like Memphis had a history, you know of like the Blues. Yeah,
you know, we got sports there and everything and a
rich history. But I'm like, the food is like, I
don't know, It's something I think everybody should at least
go and check out at least one.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, because everyone's like they of like the Chiefs games
and they're like, look at these people with their burnt
ends enjoying their barbecue.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
And I would think Memphis, you know, it gets mentioned
amongst the people who are in the know, but.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Like, uh, I think you guys get a little short
trifted on the barbecue into things.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, most definitely, and like that's one thing I've realized.
I'm like, Kansas City gets all the love. Like I'm like,
that's I'm like, that's not that's not right. I'm like,
come on, I think I think whoever is making that list,
I'm like, they got I got to give them some
some Memphis barbecue.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Yeah, calvit it's the officials. They like the Kansas City barbecue.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I think that's what that look and that would be
the perfect thing right there.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Uh well, Calvin, how's your shoulder feeling right now? You're
you're back from the injury. Is it one hundred percent
or it's just good enough to go? Where are we at?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
You know, it's definitely.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I would say last week was at a point to where,
you know, I feel like every at this point, you know,
nobody's just completely one hundred percent. So you know, a
lot of that just does require you to just know
your body, know what you can and can't do and stuff.
But you know, I was able to go. I felt great.
I would say I definitely feel, you know better this week.
(02:11):
I didn't have any setbacks during the game or anything.
So I definitely am feeling better this week.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
So, you know, like I.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Said, nobody's one hundred percent, but I think I'm definitely
with my shoulder everything, it's in the best place that
it's been. It's good.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Calvin, your offense looks like it's been kind of steadily progressing.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Do you feel like there's another significant jump within you guys?
And are you ready maybe to make it this Sunday.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I think from a standpoint of last week, a lot
of times our drives were stalled or we into with
three was because of our own doing, whether it was
a penalty miss to Simon of some sort. So just
banging off the you know how we've been progressing throughout
the season. As long as we stay out of our
own way, I mean, I think you would consist, you
(03:02):
would just continue to see the strides that our offense takes.
And I think one of the biggest things is just
like like I said, obviously, you know, eliminating the penalts
and mas and stuff, but the main thing is just consistency.
You know, whether that's okay, Let's say we do get
three a couple of times in the first half, it's
who a touchdown or whatever. In the second half it's not.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
You know, it's not boom or bus.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
We need to eat drive, be consistent and getting at least,
you know, two first downs and moving the ball, and
that's one thing I feel like we can we can
definitely do better at.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So when Aaron Rodgers first got here, I mean there's
a period where you guys get to know each other
in terms of what you realize he's capable of and
what he realizes you're capable of. How close are you
do you think to both actualizing all you know, the
potential in that connection between you and the venerable Aaron
(03:59):
Rodgers quarterback.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You know, I think each practice is super important in
building that. Just continue to building trust timing. A big
thing with him is just continuing to talk, to be
on the same page, because you know, he has an
answer for everything. So just making sure we're on the
same page. Whether that's signal wise, whether that's a check
or something. Just making sure because that's the biggest thing,
(04:22):
because one of his things is, like he always says,
as long as you're open in the right timing of
my feet and whatever the drop is, like he good
with whatever you do, you know. So it's just about
getting on the same page and making sure that you know,
he knows where we're gonna be and we know what
he's thinking about. And I think we're I think we're there,
(04:43):
you know, And especially in this league, is the longer
you know, it's go time and time without you know,
reaching that point, you kind of can get to get
passed by. So I think we've been having great practices,
great talks, and I think we're right there and and
ready to have a big day.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
We've all been sitting here marveling at just listening to
Aaron Rodgers and his press conferences and how illuminating he's
been about watching film and watching back to see what
he missed. If guys are running their routes right, what's
it like, specifically to watch film with Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It's very detailed, and.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
It's just I feel like it just pushes you in
the right pushes you in the right way, just in
terms of you're gonna be challenged to think in sometimes
a way that you wouldn't have thought, or you be
or you're challenged to think a little deeper, you know,
not just circus level kind of know, like you know,
just because it's like okay, I have this rite on paper,
but ADEN is like okay, but it was discoverage, so
(05:45):
you can do this. And some of it is just
like not breaking your old rules and habits, but sort
of a sense of debt just in terms of you know,
sometimes in the past or even in this dating back college,
high school, regardless, it's like okay, they tell you to
run this route and it's like, okay, I do I
do that.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I did, I did my assignment check.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
But he's like, okay, you did it.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
But you know, if you want the ball, all you
had to do was you know, like settle and settle
in that zone. And you know, you usually was thinking, oh,
I thought I couldn't you know, settle right here because
coaches in the past, you know college, how I was
tall and brought up was you know, break across all
the way. And so he just added a new element
of just football gamesmanship, and so you can just tell that,
(06:33):
like I said, he thinks of the game in like
a new way and his his mind is so forward thinking.
So it's just super cool to just see how his
mind works and it talks football.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Calvin Reversolts is a lot of frustration after the last
couple of games. What's the what's the vibe going into
this coach game?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I was answering that earlier this week. Actually, the vibs
are are are how the vibes are good? You know,
and especially for the for the team, everybody is very
I'll say this, there's not a whole lot of talk about, oh,
we need to get back on track, or man, we
what are we gonna or man, you know, it's not
(07:13):
that talk.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's a talk of Okay, how.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
We gonna beat the coach? What are we gonna do?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
These things we're gonna do? Okay, this is new and
just from obviously coach t leads their charge and how
he just carries himself, how he constructs the team meeting,
how he talks to us, how we practice so and
then just having eight as our quarterback, there's really no.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Time to you know, soak or be caught.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
In your or be caught up in your mistakes or
in the past with anything, because, like I said, he
so forward thinking and trying to put us in the
best situations that your mind has to be clear and
ready to go.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And so I think that's.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Just our our whole team mindset is that at the end,
at the end of the day, you know, we have
these two losses that we went back to back. There's
nothing thing we can do about that besides get better
from it. But at the end of the day, every
game is a new game. You know. We can't be
sulking and remembering our last game and then you know,
(08:12):
show up on Sunday with that still on our minds
or on our b No. No, we have a new
game against the Coats, and this is a new game,
you know, like something that happens in the past is gonna.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Decide this game.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
But what we can do is, you know, use the
practice today to help us in preparation for Sunday.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Govin one more thing about the developing relationship with Aaron Rodgers.
Are you guys at the point do you feel as
if if you have single coverage or dk metcalf as
single coverage, you're getting the ball?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
You know, I think Honestly, all of us.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
While I feel that even you.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Know, Roman ben Key, whoever, we all feel that way
just because when we're going over plays and stuff like that,
you know.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
A's telling us like, hey, this is a high alert.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Sometime would be a route that you maybe wouldn't think
is a high alert route, but he's like, no, no, no,
that's high alert, and so you really don't have a
chance to, like, you know, think about that.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
So I think we're definitely ready.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Calvin Austin, the third from the pittsforg Steelers, brought you
by Caliante Pizza and Draft House, the Pizza champions this
morning on DV. Calvin, thanks for your time this morning.
Go get him on Sunday. Man, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Great to talk to you all always. Man, take care,
We'll see him. That's Calvin Austin from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Was still in Memphis right. I don't know. I should
have asked him.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
I wanted to ask him just if they if those
guys eat barbecue during the season. I'm guessing that answer
is no.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Oh no, they do? Do they?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Okay, I just thought they'd be eating so clean. There's
the season there's a real good place in Cincinnati. It's
actually in Covington, Kentucky that they load up for the
flight home.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
I mean, that makes sense. Everything good in Cincinnati is
actually in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
When my brother was playing for the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
In nineteen ninety three, I was up at a practice
and on Fridays, he's like, the practice is ending.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
He goes, you got to run.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
The practice facility was a across the parking lot from Foxborough.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, and he's like, you have to run to the car.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Now, just get in the car because as soon as
they call this practice, that's what all these players run
to their cars with their gear on. Because lunches served.
The team bought lunch, and do you know what the
lunch was that they all got into their Mercedes and
luxury SUVs with their shoulder pads on, and when one
(10:39):
hundred miles an hour across the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
For it was Popeyes, Love that Chicken.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
For Andre Tippett, like bulting through the locker room, boxing people.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Out so he can get his first It's crazy. It's garbage.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I mean, it's yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
It's like ride.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
It's not what TJ want exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I think he might once in a while.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
I imagine when the old line gets together too, they're
not having kale salad.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
Yeah, no, no, I mean I hung out with some
people that hung out with Casey Hampton, you know, our
buddy Road doing stand up back in the day, and
Casey Hampton's McDonald's order was outrageous. It was like for
a family of five and he was alone in the car.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
We see down a quarter pounders with like one bites. Yeah,
they're like tiny little mini sliders.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
The sandwiches, the nugget a HOGI is a sad my favorite.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
But back in the day.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It's a vegan or a vegetarian. Now.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It was so funny though, because you said that t
Rope said in his house he had like just love sacks,
which makes Hampton I think he's a big love sack.
And I wondered if belove Sacks in his house had
like stuffed heads of Casey.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Like sack has a love sack, just a stack of lovesick.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Sean Collier from Pittsford Magazine here reviewing, Now what's this
but Bogonia?
Speaker 8 (12:05):
Oh yeah, well Bogonia with Emma stone Yorgos lentomos.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Oh, okay, it's the new Yorgos.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
He likes to see how weird he can make Emma
Stone get and then the academy throws oscars at him.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
That's what we do.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
He makes her get naked and then do a bunch
of weird stuff. She's not naked in this, but she's
kind of covered in goo for a lot of it.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Okay, brain injuries or like total lootomy.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
Yeah, there's there's a little bit of that. Jesse Plemmon's
kidnaps her because he thinks that she's an alien. He's
kind of a conspiratorial rabbit hole guy. I don't want
to give this short shrift, but it doesn't deserve a
whole lot of shrift.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It's the one.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
I don't know the definition of shrift, but I know
this doesn't get it. This is not the one that worked.
I love Four Things. That was my number one movie
that year. The favorite is great, I think is very good. Yeah, yeah,
long shrift. You never hear long shrift. No ever gives
a long shrift. I would I'd rather give long shrift
to if you'd like. Is my top five horror movies? Yes,
spooky music Jacob please for Halloween. And this is more
(13:12):
or less impossible for me. All I do is watch
horror movies. So this is like picking the five best
sandwiches I've ever had.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
And I feel like the genre has completely exploded in
the last decade.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
It's everything you know, there's there's so many different kinds.
But on Halloween, you just want a really good horror movie.
So let's cook up some medium. Takes Number five.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Alien.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
They have made one hundred scary movies in space. Fifty
of them are sequels to Alien. Yep, there has never
been one nearly as good as the originally.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
The problem I have with Aliens or Alien is that
every time I think about that movie now I think
about Spaceballs.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
When the little dance, that is an example of the parody,
completely cutting the legs off of the original. But if
you go back, particularly, turn the lights off, put your
throw your remote away, watch this alone in the house
late tonight, you'll be terrifying. There's all of those high
profile horror movies of the seventies, the Exorcist and Rosemary's
(14:13):
Baby and the Omen. I think this is the best one, really,
and it doesn't get lumped in there because it's sci fi,
but it's just so perfectly directed.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, I have to have it on the list. I
have to go back and watch it. Honestly, it's been
so long and it just does not I don't know.
I love Sigourney, so.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
This is pension in it like you just I mean,
it's it's really good and she's really good in it.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Oh, she's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Paul Reiser is in it too, right, Comedian Paul Reser.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Is Paul Harry Dean Stanton, one.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Of my due dads. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
He married a waitress from the Funny Bone in Pittsburgh,
don't I don't want to get derailed, but he was. Now,
that movie's not scary at all. He was coming to
town and he did a series of interviews. It was
me somebody that post has had, somebody else, And then
every one of those calls he said, you know, I
married a waitress in the Funny Bone in Pittsburgh. And
he was so fresh with it that we all wrote
(15:06):
that exact thing. So then three articles came out about
Paul Reiser marrying a waitress at the Funny Bone in
Pittsburgh on the same day. In any case, Number four
here's the modern pick get out and that is but
enough time has passed we can confidently say it's an
all timer, not for nothing. One of the best directorial
(15:27):
debuts of all time.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
So good came in M Night.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Shyamalan right sure in terms of debuts and impact, And
unlike M Night, he has not nose dived yet. Fingers
crossed amazing cast the best deployment of information in like
a suspenseful, scary way, the way they drip out what's
going on there. And just remember, if your partner's family
lives in the country, let them come to you. You
(15:52):
need home field advantage, even if they're not trying to
kill you, like get them on your turf. Number three,
Silence of the Lambs had to get Pittsburgh on the list.
As much as I'd like to put Romero in here,
there's a reason Silence of the Lambs is the most
recent film to win the Big five Oscars, which has
only happened three times. A Cuckoo's Nest and I think
(16:18):
it happened one night. Dude, where's my car? Dude, where's
my cars?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
The other one? Yes, of course that movie.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
This movie has wall to wall, deeply disturbing content, skin suits,
throat moths, tucking and gyrating to wild horses on the radio.
I would watch it anytime. It's so dark, it's so troubling.
I would watch it beginning to end right now, in
the middle of the afternoon. If you presented bus We
talked a bit about it last week. Hard to argue
(16:46):
Anthony Hopkins Hannibal Lecter as the goat of movie villains,
not in general, because when it's somebody else, when it's
I haven't seen the TV show, but other people have played,
it's not as good. Anthony Hopkins has Hannibal.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Because he's charming. Oh, they made this song terrifying. Just
hearing this song makes you.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Spooked.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, you're grooving. If this was at the end of
a John Hughes movie and Molly Ringwald and Emilia Estevez
were like kissing underneath goalposts or something, and then there's
like a wide shot out from a helicopter.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
And they all live heavily, happily.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Ever after, this could have Don't you Forget about Me vibes, right,
But instead Judd Nelson's killing them face Yeah. Uh number two, Psycho.
There's a reason why Ebert would just take students through
this shot by shot, and there's a reason why the
remake it's just Gus Vincent doing the same movie over again,
(17:54):
and it still works even with the wildly horrible casting
of Vince Vaughan and Anne Hey.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
That is such a weird casting.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Yeah, but it still works because it's the most one
of the most perfect movies ever made.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
But there's something to that, like recreating shot for shot.
It's like Judd Apatoo talks about learning to write comedy
by writing out SNL sketches that he watched when he
was a kid, and he would transcribe them to like
get the feel for it.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Thompson did the same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Musicians do that with us the time.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
No musicians all the time, you know, learn songs note
for note.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
To figure out the construction of the songs.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Now hunter s. Thompson did it with Mark Twain.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Oh well, and much like Gus ven Sand I'm not
sure he took the lessons, but very smart.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Anthony Perkins will never be beat at nice but definitely
going to murder you. He set that archetype. He nailed it.
If there were a bas Motell immersive experience, I would
go right now, even if some of the Google reviews
said my friend was actually murdered here, still worth it.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I'm doing it.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
But number one can't be anything other than my favorite movie,
The Shining. Whatever you do, do not lock yourself away
for the winter with your family. The best case scenario
is that you freeze in a hedge maze. It can
get worse. Remember what happened to those twins. It's weird,
it's depressing, it's long. It has that thing with the
guy in the bear suit. Don't care. The best horror
(19:21):
movie ever made?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
The first furry ever, I'd say, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well is.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It because it's an actual bear?
Speaker 8 (19:29):
I'd say it's the first furry ever because there was
a sexual connotation with it.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
I don't know when did Disneyland open some of those points.
Some of those kids were getting down to some things
at night. To call your Pittsburgh magazine. You got anything
coming up? Yes, tomorrow night the Princess Bride with carry
Elwis at Carnegie of Homestead Music in Him. Yeah, we're
gonna show the movie and then do a Q and
A on stage with the legendary.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Carry Always the dread Pirate Roberts.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
You will be there himself. He's so good in so
many things.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
I'm sure we're going to talk about Princess Pride, but
he's so good. And saw Robin hood men in tights
for mel Brooks. Yeah, twister thrill wasn't wait was he?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Was he one of the top gun pilots.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
No, no, no, no, no, you're thinking of well, I know
vowel was there?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah, he looks a little bit like val Maybe that's
what it was.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
What tong does thatch off seven o'clock for the movie
and like Weird Science or Mystery Science Theater three thousand
or do you just screen the entire movie?
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Entire movie? Then the introduction and asked I.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Would stop, and then he was like so on this
scene and then gave you the load out.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
He's got a book for that called As You Wish,
where he goes seen for Seeing through the thing talks
about the sword fighting lessons and Andre the Giants getting
injured on Andrea the Giants, a TV that's definitely worth
it working with.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah, yeah, well that's worth it right there alone.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Take it even tink It is such a funny name
to me.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
I don't know why many patent I had no idea
that that was him, and uh, what's the what's the
show with Clare Dane's homeland Homeland? And there is a
super cut that I highly recommend to people out there.
It's like twenty minutes long of Mandy Patinkin staring, oh,
just looking like brooding off into space.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Do that with the split screen of ten minutes of
Oprah peeing from color purple?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
What's back and forth? That like man is watching Oprah
p for together.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I remember the first time I heard Mandy Patinkin sing
and I was like, no, what I know you can sing?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh my god, He's phenomenal, like a angel.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Also, I would say, throw in there Mandy Patinkin in
the Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
When was that?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I want to say, nineteen ninety nine banger.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
My mother has seen him in concert and apparently at
every show he like a few songs and he needs
to like, you know, bring it down and go all right, listen,
my name is an Ego Montoya, you killed my father
and that and the crowd goes nuts fingers.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
This is Mandy tinking on Letterman leading from your window
panes to a place behind the sun. Just a step behind.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
The raw.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
The rain. Wait, it's Maydy p taken.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Dude, it's Mandy freaking.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
But think I had no idea mont Now least you
sell shirts like they do you under the overpass going

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Bit like Mandy Faken going into hindshall many take it?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Maybe after partaking charts in.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Many petaking sounds like a greeting for another language in
many particular unit.

Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional service. Text contact for
you now.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
On the DV Morning show.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Mike Sports several artiful bye Bridgeville appliance. A couple of
interesting developments yesterday as they relate to the practice participation report. Uh,
Kyle Dugar was in Pittsburgh and out there in a
full participant. Tara Austin said, we'll see what he can
do if we can use him. If he's available. Douger said, hey,
I'll be ready if they need me.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I'm ready.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
I don't think Kyle Doug is a needle mover, but
to Shaun Elliott is down.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's not about a needle mover. It's just about like
plugging the hole.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
I mean, Jabrill Peppers was limited with a quadricep. He
would be another guy that would conceivably be in the
mix to play more in Elliott's absence. And Corey Trice
Junior how many how many plays did he get in
practice where he got hurt again? Trice, Yeah, I don't
know how many plays, but he was limited with a
knee activated. I mean he's trying to make it back
(24:43):
from the IR window. I put a couple of videos
up of him yesterday because we were in the indoor
facility and I could actually get close to the DB's
for change. Normally I can't get access to them very well.
But he's just so physically gifted. If you didn't know
anything about football, And yes, somebody show me what a
cornerback is supposed to look like. Somebody would show you
(25:04):
a picture of Corey Trice. But he can't stay on
the field.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, no, except court, Yeah, except these on crutches.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah, it's like the cornerback Bo Bennett beyond fro.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I was gonna ask for an analogy on that bow.
Bennett's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
It's a real good one, man, because Bou Bennett was
a real good player too. He just never got a
chance to get help me to show it. Here's the
real curious development to me, Darius Slay did not practice
personal matter. Now this in the immediate aftermath of Sleigh
paying fifty percent of the defensive snaps in the Green
(25:38):
Bay game. He played one hundred percent the first two weeks,
eighty five percent the third week, ninety six to fourth
week fifty percent of the snaps, and did not practice
yesterday because of a personal man.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Did he talk to the media at all after.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
The day day?
Speaker 6 (25:53):
I think he talked briefly on Wednesday. I didn't get
to that scrum.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
I saw a clip of him. I'm basically saying that.
You know, I think I've played pretty well. I haven't
played as well as I want to. There's still a
lot of things to clean up.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
This is Did he address the Williams touchdown?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Yeah? He said no. I I got absolutely cooked on
that one. No he didn't. He did not.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
This is curious to me. Stay tuned on that one.
Trading deadline is Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Oh that's see what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
I mean, if theoretically I haven't been told this or anything,
but if he is in to have his role reduced
and he does not want to have a reduced role,
he might put me. I would think they would move him.
And as poorly as I think he's played. Two things,
the NFL doesn't have an abundance over cornerbacks.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
On offensive lineman.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
And you know, if you get a seventh round pick,
a sixth round pick and.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Corey Tranks gotta stay healthy for you though.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, that's uh. That would help.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
From the indie side, a couple of guys who did
not practice that would be potentially impactful. Sunday wide receiver
Anthony gold Knee. He's a return guy, punts and kickoffs,
some little guy that can really scoot and one of
their best defensive lineman, Grover Stewart foot has not practiced yet.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Tomin's gonna love that little guy.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
He's gonna be like, obviously, I desire to covet him.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
So small and so fast. I love it.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Once he gets once he gets to be thirty five,
he's mine, exactly.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
This guy's even say that.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
He says that to them, like one day I'm gonna
I can't afford you yet. One day I'm gonna come
get remember a queen.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Yeah, you're playing for the wrong team, You're on the
wrong side.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah, supprise they got him when they did slay.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I think he said that too too.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
I mean a lot of those press conferences that he
does on Tuesday, the first half of them is basically
like a book report on the other team, where he's
just talking about all the players and guys that he loves.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, and a lot of those guys end up here
over here now again. Now you guys are looking for
a little positive pick me up. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
It involves the offense, and specifically it involves Aaron Rodgers
talking about Jalen Warren.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
No, no surprise.
Speaker 10 (28:03):
I mean I saw him play last year, and I've
always been a fan of his as a change up back,
and I always wondered what it would be like if
he got a chance to.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Be the guy.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
When I saw Nae got got traded, I figured he'd
get a chance. And then when I got here, just
the way he's so dynamic with the football. He's hilarious
out there on the field because, uh, he's such a
sweet guy, and you know, just some of the things
he's thinking about from time to time is amazing. He's
just always so positive out there. But I love being
(28:32):
a hutto and being out there and the gun next
to him and they're just kind of watching him go.
You know, There's there's been throws I made this year
that in the past I wouldn't make because you know,
maybe he's a guy out there, maybe he's a couple
of guys out there, but I just feel like, you know,
when he's got the ball in the sands, the first
guy and never brings him down. And you know, we
had to play the other night fake the pitch to him,
(28:52):
came back, had some deeper routes and I threw out
in the flat and if you pausitive film there's like
three guys in the way, and he makes all three
miss and it runs over the safety for a twelve
yard game. It just comes back to the huddle like, yeah, normal,
it's nothing, nothing crazy happened.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
That's what I love abot him.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
There's expectation when he gets the ball that something great
is going to happen, and his energy like that is
very infectious for offense.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Yeah, what he's done this year is far exceeded when
I ever thought he would be tool doing.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Jayalen Warren's not a sound bite machine, but I went
and bounced that off him. I said, hey, Aaron Rodgers said,
he's making throws he wouldn't make in the past, because
when you're covered, you're not covered.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Aaron said that he was. He was touched. He appreciated it.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
So they got that guy, they got, they got some weaponry.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Man.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
The line.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
The line is getting better and the real interesting part
of this Colts matchup is, uh, I believe whether same
model plays or not. Rogers said after the game Sunday,
they have other people that they can still do the jumbo.
The Colts loved to play nickel man. They love to
be a nickel and if the Steelers come out in
(30:04):
Hannibal's elephants and shove it down the throat to the nickel.
That could a potentially work and be potentially take up
a lot of time.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
Oh god, I want to get nickel and dime, don't
we Well?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I mean, if, if, if going underneath works, do it,
you know, because you can take the top off eventually when.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
You do that, they're going to have to react eventually
unless you just stop doing it.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Or Boswell's gonna have six field.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Goals, well three at a time. Man, just just put
points on the board. That's a to our earlier discussion.
I don't want to pass up points, but I don't
want to punt either. The go forth thing to me
would involve not punting, not kicking a.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Fight, especially with this defense. I don't think you can
Dan Campbell this. I don't think you go for it
or fourth down all the time. It's but I do
think he needs to consider even though aggressive in certain.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Instances, there are some guys around the league now fourth
and one from the twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
They're doing it. I mean seen it, Yeah, take a shot.
I mean Ravens do it, Lions do it, Bengals, you
see it. You see it way more than.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
You used to, that's for sure, because the league is
set up for offense. Yeah, you know, it's not an
even thing out there the defensively.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
You are up against the rules.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
How many times during a game, especially the way the
defense is playing right now, that they're in third and
short or and they don't get it that you don't say, why.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Don't they go for it? This isn't easy, This isn't
gimme against this defense right now.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Yeah, I was surprised Baltimore actually putted last night.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
They had a third and one and Henry got stuffed.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
I forget at what point of the game it was,
but still relatively early, and the game was still relatively competitive,
and they kicked it. They must have just thought out,
we'll get the next one.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
We'll talk to guy Johnker when we come back. Sean Casey,
the Mayor, ways in on the World Series and Game
six tonight in Toronto. This has been a hell of
a World Series. Yes, oh yeah, it really has. It
has been very exciting, isn't it always?
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Though? No, I don't think it's been like.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
This well, I don't think people.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I think everyone slept on the Blue Jays first of all,
and they didn't guilty us understand those bats and what
they're capable of doing.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
And just the individual performances too.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
Show hey, what he did in that eighteen inning game,
and what this rookie that low a ball just did
in the last game.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
That eighteen inning game had more unbelievable highlights than any
baseball game I have ever seen.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
The amount of this.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
If they screw this, seas of the play games over
plays at third base just absolutely nuts. All right, So
we'll talk to Case about that coming up Pittsburgh's winter storms.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Guy Junker is joining us right now on the DV
morning show.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Guy, good morning.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
How are you hey?
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Everybody? Happy Halloween? How you doing?
Speaker 3 (34:31):
H Happy Halloween? Doing great?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
The scariest thing this weekend might be the steelersh defense
against Indiana Jones, brother.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
I uh yeah, I mean you look at it. If
they killed and stopped the running game of the Bengals
with the worst in the league, gonna stop the number
one running back in the league right now. But uh,
you know, these are the frustrations with the Steelers over
the years. This is the kind of game that they
end up winning. I'm not saying they're gonna win, but
I also think in the Indy, if you look at
their schedule, it's been a kind of a cake walk.
(35:04):
I'm not one hundred percent sold on them as a
legitimate AFC threat. I don't know if I have them
up there with the Kansas City's and the Buffaloes. You know,
they beat Tennessee twice, they have one win. They beat
the Dolphins, they have two wins. They beat the Raiders,
they have two wins, so they may be good, but
they haven't completely proven that to me yet. And sometimes
(35:24):
the Steelers play their best when their backs are against
the wall and they're getting hammered by everybody, which they.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Obviously are already commenced.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
But that's what we've been saying all morning, and it
is hard to hang your hat on. The Colts are
due to lose, and the Steelers usually win games like
this that they shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
The the And this is important because teams that are
statistically teams that are five and three compared to teams
that are four and four, their chances of making the
playoffs get cut in half if they lose this game
this week. But you're right, I just think that they
are better. We all think that they're better than what
they've showed. So you think at some point that's gonna
(36:07):
come up. Maybe this week they can count to eleven
and have eleven players on the field at a key
point in the game.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Could you believe how he just excused that away as
part of sel I couldn't no.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
That is absolutely inexcusable. And the other thing that really
irked me, And I know you guys talked about this
a little bit before. When you're complaining when your defense
has been so terrible and you start your press conference
complaining about the offense settling for field goals, even if
that is part of the equation of their struggles. When
(36:40):
you're getting field goals at fifty six, fifty, fifty six,
forty eight, you should be happy you're getting any points
at all. It's not like this offense didn't bog down.
They weren't in the red zone one of those field
goal tries. I mean, they were barely you know, they
were with the thirty eight twice. They did get to
the twenty four, and Heyward the faalse start penalty, which
(37:01):
pushed them back. But it's not like that they're blowing
chances in the red zone. They're barely getting into the
other team's territory. But Boswell's so damn good, I mean,
and he makes fifty six yard field goals. They're like
perfectly down the middle every kick.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
Don't criticize that. Be thankful you've got those points because
most teams Green Bay has proven it. In the first half,
they didn't even get closer field goals.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
I don't want to be hyperbolic, but it does seem
that the grumbles of the local Steeler fans that have
turned into you know, roars of discontent with coach Tomlin
seem like it's finally permeated the national media and people
are looking at him in a critical way they have
not before and pointing out all of the statistics that
(37:46):
we have been for the last couple of years about
why it's just not good enough. And now Jerry d
reporting yesterday that ownerships is speculating, not reporting two different things.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I got report in chat.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Okay, so it's it's from a chat.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
He speculated the chat expressing an opinion.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Okay, that they are impatient and frustrated, but not angry.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
But Jerry in saying.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
That it's just that they're frustrated. Let's right, let's assume
that much.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
But Jerry, everybody knows Jerry's got you know, he's the
kind of talking uh part of Rooney. A lot of
times it's assumed that he's got his ear. I'm just saying,
if it was a report, it would be. Sources have
told the Post Gazette the Steelers are frustrated and.
Speaker 5 (38:33):
Yeah, they're golfing buddies. He he is his ear.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
So what I mean, what are your thoughts with that
is is Mike Tomlin coaching for his job for the
first time for real?
Speaker 5 (38:45):
I think I think that's possible. Yeah, But I still
think that there's a lot of football to be I
think this is going to come down to what happens
in the divisional games. You know, the Ravens last night
and they get there, all their most of their defense
back last week and beat the Bears, which the Bears
are having a billion pointed out a couple of weeks ago.
There they having a pretty good season. And then you know,
if Lamar Jackson runs for four touchdowns last night, I
(39:06):
might go on a little bit, but he throws for
four touchdowns. Now they're any game in a half and
they have two games up with the Steelers. They're not
out of it, but I think I think that the
Steelers can split the two games with the Ravens, beat
the Bengals. When they come here and beat the Browns again,
they're still gonna win the division. But you know, if
they go into the playoffs again get smoked in the
first round, is that even good enough? I mean, I'm
(39:26):
watching what's going on with the Penguins right now, and
I'm never one of these guys to coach the cook
that everybody always wants to do that the minute whatever
team they're rooting for isn't having any success. But I
can't believe how well the Penguins are playing with a
fresh coach and a bunch of young guys. So maybe
maybe it is kind of time to, you know, try
(39:47):
something different.
Speaker 6 (39:48):
Yeah, you know, I think poor performances at home are
significant too.
Speaker 5 (39:58):
You're a little more to you. You bet a lot.
And the last time they were underdogs two weeks in
a row at home, I can't remember it for a while.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
Yeah, it's uh, it's been a while. I would guess,
I don't have that. Uh, yeah, I don't know, but
it's it's a typical to your point.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
But to your point, Mike that the ownership, it's likely
does not like getting embarrassed in front of the home field.
Speaker 7 (40:25):
They got one win out of three games at Acrosshore
this season.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
They beat the Browns and the Green Bay game was bad.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Well that's another thing. You look in India. I mean,
they're five and zer at home, they're only two and
one on the road. They play in that dome, and
I remember, God bless Tounch, I remember touch telling me that,
you know, they pump noise back in through the crowd.
They make it even louder in Indy. It's not even
legal what they do with the noise there. So I'm
still I'm anxious to watch this game to see if
it's for real, to see see if the Steelers. When
(40:56):
you have you know, guys questioning effort, that's what kills
you too, you know, Thorneo and Cama, we're talking about
the try factor and everything. That's it's a mess.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
All right, Who's gonna win the World Series?
Speaker 5 (41:10):
But I have to get you know, it's hard still
to bet against a three hundred and fifty million dollar payroll,
but with two games left at home, I'd have to
go with Toronto. No, I'll say this, you know, I
always people are always the economic apologist for baseball, always
like well, teams like the Dodgers and the Yankees, they
you know, they do have some free agents, but they're
primarily homegrown and then they add the parts with their money.
(41:33):
When the Dodgers played at PNC Park this year, their
starting lineup and those games had seven of the nine
players free agents. It's a store bought team. Don't give
me that crap. So I'm hoping Toronto wins. You know,
I think you guys are right that this has been
a fabulous world series. You know, when you got a
player like Otani, you got an eighteen inning. I had
(41:53):
a speaking engagement at six o'clock. I had to get
up right, so I had to go to bed. At
tenth inning, I didn't get to watch all that. And
then and then you got this savage kid comes in
out of nowhere, does what he does. It hasn't been
I think a fascinating world series.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Oh I mean Yamoto the flattie. Yeah, there's just it's.
Speaker 7 (42:12):
Gladdy's making incredible plays in the field on top of
hitting bombs.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
He's so fun to wat Well, you know what, when
they impressed me so much when they came here to
play just because they have power. They can hit some
home runs, but they're aggressive, they're swinging it first and
second pitches or not so many teams now they strike
out or they hit home runs. They played good defense.
I just think overall they were they were really good
overall baseball team. And right now they got the Dodger
(42:37):
bets kind of silence. So, uh, they're they're fun to watch.
It would help if Springer could be healthy and play.
I mean, that's a tough guy, supposed to supposed to play,
is he really?
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (42:48):
I don't know if he's gonna be a hundred.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
Ratings.
Speaker 5 (42:51):
The ratings, believe it or not, are down, But when
you think about it, I mean, you know, with the
Canadian team in there, the ratings in Canada and Japan
are at an all time high. They're down a little
bit in the US from last year.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
The TV race Blue Jays have outscored the Dodgers twelve
to three since the eighteen inning game.
Speaker 4 (43:06):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (43:07):
I mean, just think it out. If they could have
squeaked the runout somewhere at eighteen innings would be over already.

The Pittsburgh It's your radio home for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
One o two point five d VE Steelers COLT Sunday,
one o'clock. All of the action right here on the
flagship station of the Black and Gold and joining us
from the Pittsburgh Steelers right now.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Wide receiver Calvin Austin Calvin, how long.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Are you, buddy? What's up?
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I'm doing great, Glad to be on here to talk
to you.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Every time I see you, I like, you know, make
a play or something I talk to my buddies about.
I'm like, you know, he was on the show and
we were talking about barbecue, and I'm telling you right now,
I've never wanted to go somewhere for food vacation as
much as I wanted to go to Memphis after I
talk to you the first time.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Oh no, most definitely.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I mean that's one of the I mean, I feel
like Memphis had a history, you know of like the Blues. Yeah,
you know, we got sports there and everything and a
rich history. But I'm like, the food is like, I
don't know, It's something I think everybody should at least
go and check out at least one.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, because everyone's like they of like the Chiefs games
and they're like, look at these people with their burnt
ends enjoying their barbecue.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
And I would think Memphis, you know, it gets mentioned
amongst the people who are in the know, but.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Like, uh, I think you guys get a little short
trifted on the barbecue into things.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, most definitely, and like that's one thing I've realized.
I'm like, Kansas City gets all the love. Like I'm like,
that's I'm like, that's not that's not right. I'm like,
come on, I think I think whoever is making that list,
I'm like, they got I got to give them some
some Memphis barbecue.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Yeah, calvit it's the officials. They like the Kansas City barbecue.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I think that's what that look and that would be
the perfect thing right there.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Uh well, Calvin, how's your shoulder feeling right now? You're
you're back from the injury. Is it one hundred percent
or it's just good enough to go? Where are we at?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
You know, it's definitely.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I would say last week was at a point to where,
you know, I feel like every at this point, you know,
nobody's just completely one hundred percent. So you know, a
lot of that just does require you to just know
your body, know what you can and can't do and stuff.
But you know, I was able to go. I felt great.
I would say I definitely feel, you know better this week.
(02:11):
I didn't have any setbacks during the game or anything.
So I definitely am feeling better this week.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
So, you know, like I.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Said, nobody's one hundred percent, but I think I'm definitely
with my shoulder everything, it's in the best place that
it's been. It's good.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Calvin, your offense looks like it's been kind of steadily progressing.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Do you feel like there's another significant jump within you guys?
And are you ready maybe to make it this Sunday.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I think from a standpoint of last week, a lot
of times our drives were stalled or we into with
three was because of our own doing, whether it was
a penalty miss to Simon of some sort. So just
banging off the you know how we've been progressing throughout
the season. As long as we stay out of our
own way, I mean, I think you would consist, you
(03:02):
would just continue to see the strides that our offense takes.
And I think one of the biggest things is just
like like I said, obviously, you know, eliminating the penalts
and mas and stuff, but the main thing is just consistency.
You know, whether that's okay, Let's say we do get
three a couple of times in the first half, it's
who a touchdown or whatever. In the second half it's not.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
You know, it's not boom or bus.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
We need to eat drive, be consistent and getting at least,
you know, two first downs and moving the ball, and
that's one thing I feel like we can we can
definitely do better at.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So when Aaron Rodgers first got here, I mean there's
a period where you guys get to know each other
in terms of what you realize he's capable of and
what he realizes you're capable of. How close are you
do you think to both actualizing all you know, the
potential in that connection between you and the venerable Aaron
(03:59):
Rodgers quarterback.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You know, I think each practice is super important in
building that. Just continue to building trust timing. A big
thing with him is just continuing to talk, to be
on the same page, because you know, he has an
answer for everything. So just making sure we're on the
same page. Whether that's signal wise, whether that's a check
or something. Just making sure because that's the biggest thing,
(04:22):
because one of his things is, like he always says,
as long as you're open in the right timing of
my feet and whatever the drop is, like he good
with whatever you do, you know. So it's just about
getting on the same page and making sure that you know,
he knows where we're gonna be and we know what
he's thinking about. And I think we're I think we're there,
(04:43):
you know, And especially in this league, is the longer
you know, it's go time and time without you know,
reaching that point, you kind of can get to get
passed by. So I think we've been having great practices,
great talks, and I think we're right there and and
ready to have a big day.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
We've all been sitting here marveling at just listening to
Aaron Rodgers and his press conferences and how illuminating he's
been about watching film and watching back to see what
he missed. If guys are running their routes right, what's
it like, specifically to watch film with Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It's very detailed, and.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
It's just I feel like it just pushes you in
the right pushes you in the right way, just in
terms of you're gonna be challenged to think in sometimes
a way that you wouldn't have thought, or you be
or you're challenged to think a little deeper, you know,
not just circus level kind of know, like you know,
just because it's like okay, I have this rite on paper,
but ADEN is like okay, but it was discoverage, so
(05:45):
you can do this. And some of it is just
like not breaking your old rules and habits, but sort
of a sense of debt just in terms of you know,
sometimes in the past or even in this dating back college,
high school, regardless, it's like okay, they tell you to
run this route and it's like, okay, I do I
do that.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I did, I did my assignment check.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
But he's like, okay, you did it.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
But you know, if you want the ball, all you
had to do was you know, like settle and settle
in that zone. And you know, you usually was thinking, oh,
I thought I couldn't you know, settle right here because
coaches in the past, you know college, how I was
tall and brought up was you know, break across all
the way. And so he just added a new element
of just football gamesmanship, and so you can just tell that,
(06:33):
like I said, he thinks of the game in like
a new way and his his mind is so forward thinking.
So it's just super cool to just see how his
mind works and it talks football.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Calvin Reversolts is a lot of frustration after the last
couple of games. What's the what's the vibe going into
this coach game?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I was answering that earlier this week. Actually, the vibs
are are are how the vibes are good? You know,
and especially for the for the team, everybody is very
I'll say this, there's not a whole lot of talk about, oh,
we need to get back on track, or man, we
what are we gonna or man, you know, it's not
(07:13):
that talk.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's a talk of Okay, how.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
We gonna beat the coach? What are we gonna do?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
These things we're gonna do? Okay, this is new and
just from obviously coach t leads their charge and how
he just carries himself, how he constructs the team meeting,
how he talks to us, how we practice so and
then just having eight as our quarterback, there's really no.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Time to you know, soak or be caught.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
In your or be caught up in your mistakes or
in the past with anything, because, like I said, he
so forward thinking and trying to put us in the
best situations that your mind has to be clear and
ready to go.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And so I think that's.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Just our our whole team mindset is that at the end,
at the end of the day, you know, we have
these two losses that we went back to back. There's
nothing thing we can do about that besides get better
from it. But at the end of the day, every
game is a new game. You know. We can't be
sulking and remembering our last game and then you know,
(08:12):
show up on Sunday with that still on our minds
or on our b No. No, we have a new
game against the Coats, and this is a new game,
you know, like something that happens in the past is gonna.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Decide this game.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
But what we can do is, you know, use the
practice today to help us in preparation for Sunday.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Govin one more thing about the developing relationship with Aaron Rodgers.
Are you guys at the point do you feel as
if if you have single coverage or dk metcalf as
single coverage, you're getting the ball?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
You know, I think Honestly, all of us.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
While I feel that even you.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Know, Roman ben Key, whoever, we all feel that way
just because when we're going over plays and stuff like that,
you know.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
A's telling us like, hey, this is a high alert.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Sometime would be a route that you maybe wouldn't think
is a high alert route, but he's like, no, no, no,
that's high alert, and so you really don't have a
chance to, like, you know, think about that.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
So I think we're definitely ready.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Calvin Austin, the third from the pittsforg Steelers, brought you
by Caliante Pizza and Draft House, the Pizza champions this
morning on DV. Calvin, thanks for your time this morning.
Go get him on Sunday. Man, appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Great to talk to you all always. Man, take care,
We'll see him. That's Calvin Austin from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Was still in Memphis right. I don't know. I should
have asked him.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
I wanted to ask him just if they if those
guys eat barbecue during the season. I'm guessing that answer
is no.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Oh no, they do? Do they?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Okay, I just thought they'd be eating so clean. There's
the season there's a real good place in Cincinnati. It's
actually in Covington, Kentucky that they load up for the
flight home.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
I mean, that makes sense. Everything good in Cincinnati is
actually in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
When my brother was playing for the Patriots.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
In nineteen ninety three, I was up at a practice
and on Fridays, he's like, the practice is ending.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
He goes, you got to run.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
The practice facility was a across the parking lot from Foxborough.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, and he's like, you have to run to the car.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Now, just get in the car because as soon as
they call this practice, that's what all these players run
to their cars with their gear on. Because lunches served.
The team bought lunch, and do you know what the
lunch was that they all got into their Mercedes and
luxury SUVs with their shoulder pads on, and when one
(10:39):
hundred miles an hour across the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
For it was Popeyes, Love that Chicken.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
For Andre Tippett, like bulting through the locker room, boxing people.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Out so he can get his first It's crazy. It's garbage.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I mean, it's yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
It's like ride.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
It's not what TJ want exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I think he might once in a while.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
I imagine when the old line gets together too, they're
not having kale salad.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
Yeah, no, no, I mean I hung out with some
people that hung out with Casey Hampton, you know, our
buddy Road doing stand up back in the day, and
Casey Hampton's McDonald's order was outrageous. It was like for
a family of five and he was alone in the car.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
We see down a quarter pounders with like one bites. Yeah,
they're like tiny little mini sliders.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
The sandwiches, the nugget a HOGI is a sad my favorite.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
But back in the day.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It's a vegan or a vegetarian. Now.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
It was so funny though, because you said that t
Rope said in his house he had like just love sacks,
which makes Hampton I think he's a big love sack.
And I wondered if belove Sacks in his house had
like stuffed heads of Casey.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Like sack has a love sack, just a stack of lovesick.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Sean Collier from Pittsford Magazine here reviewing, Now what's this
but Bogonia?
Speaker 8 (12:05):
Oh yeah, well Bogonia with Emma stone Yorgos lentomos.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Oh, okay, it's the new Yorgos.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
He likes to see how weird he can make Emma
Stone get and then the academy throws oscars at him.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
That's what we do.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
He makes her get naked and then do a bunch
of weird stuff. She's not naked in this, but she's
kind of covered in goo for a lot of it.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Okay, brain injuries or like total lootomy.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
Yeah, there's there's a little bit of that. Jesse Plemmon's
kidnaps her because he thinks that she's an alien. He's
kind of a conspiratorial rabbit hole guy. I don't want
to give this short shrift, but it doesn't deserve a
whole lot of shrift.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
It's the one.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
I don't know the definition of shrift, but I know
this doesn't get it. This is not the one that worked.
I love Four Things. That was my number one movie
that year. The favorite is great, I think is very good. Yeah, yeah,
long shrift. You never hear long shrift. No ever gives
a long shrift. I would I'd rather give long shrift
to if you'd like. Is my top five horror movies? Yes,
spooky music Jacob please for Halloween. And this is more
(13:12):
or less impossible for me. All I do is watch
horror movies. So this is like picking the five best
sandwiches I've ever had.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
And I feel like the genre has completely exploded in
the last decade.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
It's everything you know, there's there's so many different kinds.
But on Halloween, you just want a really good horror movie.
So let's cook up some medium. Takes Number five.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Alien.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
They have made one hundred scary movies in space. Fifty
of them are sequels to Alien. Yep, there has never
been one nearly as good as the originally.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
The problem I have with Aliens or Alien is that
every time I think about that movie now I think
about Spaceballs.
Speaker 8 (13:50):
When the little dance, that is an example of the parody,
completely cutting the legs off of the original. But if
you go back, particularly, turn the lights off, put your
throw your remote away, watch this alone in the house
late tonight, you'll be terrifying. There's all of those high
profile horror movies of the seventies, the Exorcist and Rosemary's
(14:13):
Baby and the Omen. I think this is the best one, really,
and it doesn't get lumped in there because it's sci fi,
but it's just so perfectly directed.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, I have to have it on the list. I
have to go back and watch it. Honestly, it's been
so long and it just does not I don't know.
I love Sigourney, so.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
This is pension in it like you just I mean,
it's it's really good and she's really good in it.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Oh, she's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Paul Reiser is in it too, right, Comedian Paul Reser.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Is Paul Harry Dean Stanton, one.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Of my due dads. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
He married a waitress from the Funny Bone in Pittsburgh,
don't I don't want to get derailed, but he was. Now,
that movie's not scary at all. He was coming to
town and he did a series of interviews. It was
me somebody that post has had, somebody else, And then
every one of those calls he said, you know, I
married a waitress in the Funny Bone in Pittsburgh. And
he was so fresh with it that we all wrote
(15:06):
that exact thing. So then three articles came out about
Paul Reiser marrying a waitress at the Funny Bone in
Pittsburgh on the same day. In any case, Number four
here's the modern pick get out and that is but
enough time has passed we can confidently say it's an
all timer, not for nothing. One of the best directorial
(15:27):
debuts of all time.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
So good came in M Night.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Shyamalan right sure in terms of debuts and impact, And
unlike M Night, he has not nose dived yet. Fingers
crossed amazing cast the best deployment of information in like
a suspenseful, scary way, the way they drip out what's
going on there. And just remember, if your partner's family
lives in the country, let them come to you. You
(15:52):
need home field advantage, even if they're not trying to
kill you, like get them on your turf. Number three,
Silence of the Lambs had to get Pittsburgh on the list.
As much as I'd like to put Romero in here,
there's a reason Silence of the Lambs is the most
recent film to win the Big five Oscars, which has
only happened three times. A Cuckoo's Nest and I think
(16:18):
it happened one night. Dude, where's my car? Dude, where's
my cars?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
The other one? Yes, of course that movie.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
This movie has wall to wall, deeply disturbing content, skin suits,
throat moths, tucking and gyrating to wild horses on the radio.
I would watch it anytime. It's so dark, it's so troubling.
I would watch it beginning to end right now, in
the middle of the afternoon. If you presented bus We
talked a bit about it last week. Hard to argue
(16:46):
Anthony Hopkins Hannibal Lecter as the goat of movie villains,
not in general, because when it's somebody else, when it's
I haven't seen the TV show, but other people have played,
it's not as good. Anthony Hopkins has Hannibal.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Because he's charming. Oh, they made this song terrifying. Just
hearing this song makes you.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Spooked.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Yeah, you're grooving. If this was at the end of
a John Hughes movie and Molly Ringwald and Emilia Estevez
were like kissing underneath goalposts or something, and then there's
like a wide shot out from a helicopter.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
And they all live heavily, happily.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Ever after, this could have Don't you Forget about Me vibes, right,
But instead Judd Nelson's killing them face Yeah. Uh number two, Psycho.
There's a reason why Ebert would just take students through
this shot by shot, and there's a reason why the
remake it's just Gus Vincent doing the same movie over again,
(17:54):
and it still works even with the wildly horrible casting
of Vince Vaughan and Anne Hey.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
That is such a weird casting.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
Yeah, but it still works because it's the most one
of the most perfect movies ever made.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
But there's something to that, like recreating shot for shot.
It's like Judd Apatoo talks about learning to write comedy
by writing out SNL sketches that he watched when he
was a kid, and he would transcribe them to like
get the feel for it.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Thompson did the same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Musicians do that with us the time.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
No musicians all the time, you know, learn songs note
for note.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
To figure out the construction of the songs.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Now hunter s. Thompson did it with Mark Twain.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Oh well, and much like Gus ven Sand I'm not
sure he took the lessons, but very smart.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Anthony Perkins will never be beat at nice but definitely
going to murder you. He set that archetype. He nailed it.
If there were a bas Motell immersive experience, I would
go right now, even if some of the Google reviews
said my friend was actually murdered here, still worth it.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
I'm doing it.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
But number one can't be anything other than my favorite movie,
The Shining. Whatever you do, do not lock yourself away
for the winter with your family. The best case scenario
is that you freeze in a hedge maze. It can
get worse. Remember what happened to those twins. It's weird,
it's depressing, it's long. It has that thing with the
guy in the bear suit. Don't care. The best horror
(19:21):
movie ever made?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
The first furry ever, I'd say, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well is.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It because it's an actual bear?
Speaker 8 (19:29):
I'd say it's the first furry ever because there was
a sexual connotation with it.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
I don't know when did Disneyland open some of those points.
Some of those kids were getting down to some things
at night. To call your Pittsburgh magazine. You got anything
coming up? Yes, tomorrow night the Princess Bride with carry
Elwis at Carnegie of Homestead Music in Him. Yeah, we're
gonna show the movie and then do a Q and
A on stage with the legendary.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Carry Always the dread Pirate Roberts.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
You will be there himself. He's so good in so
many things.
Speaker 8 (20:00):
I'm sure we're going to talk about Princess Pride, but
he's so good. And saw Robin hood men in tights
for mel Brooks. Yeah, twister thrill wasn't wait was he?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Was he one of the top gun pilots.
Speaker 8 (20:13):
No, no, no, no, no, you're thinking of well, I know
vowel was there?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah, he looks a little bit like val Maybe that's
what it was.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
What tong does thatch off seven o'clock for the movie
and like Weird Science or Mystery Science Theater three thousand
or do you just screen the entire movie?
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Entire movie? Then the introduction and asked I.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Would stop, and then he was like so on this
scene and then gave you the load out.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
He's got a book for that called As You Wish,
where he goes seen for Seeing through the thing talks
about the sword fighting lessons and Andre the Giants getting
injured on Andrea the Giants, a TV that's definitely worth
it working with.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah, yeah, well that's worth it right there alone.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Take it even tink It is such a funny name
to me.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
I don't know why many patent I had no idea
that that was him, and uh, what's the what's the
show with Clare Dane's homeland Homeland? And there is a
super cut that I highly recommend to people out there.
It's like twenty minutes long of Mandy Patinkin staring, oh,
just looking like brooding off into space.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Do that with the split screen of ten minutes of
Oprah peeing from color purple?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
What's back and forth? That like man is watching Oprah
p for together.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I remember the first time I heard Mandy Patinkin sing
and I was like, no, what I know you can sing?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh my god, He's phenomenal, like a angel.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Also, I would say, throw in there Mandy Patinkin in
the Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
When was that?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I want to say, nineteen ninety nine banger.
Speaker 8 (21:56):
My mother has seen him in concert and apparently at
every show he like a few songs and he needs
to like, you know, bring it down and go all right, listen,
my name is an Ego Montoya, you killed my father
and that and the crowd goes nuts fingers.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
This is Mandy tinking on Letterman leading from your window
panes to a place behind the sun. Just a step behind.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
The raw.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
The rain. Wait, it's Maydy p taken.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Dude, it's Mandy freaking.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
But think I had no idea mont Now least you
sell shirts like they do you under the overpass going
to this day when they have like Aaron f and Rodgers,
Can you have a.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Bit like Mandy Faken going into hindshall many take it?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Maybe after partaking charts in.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Many petaking sounds like a greeting for another language in
many particular unit.

Bridgeville Appliance is looking for exceptional service. Text contact for
you now.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
On the DV Morning show.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Mike Sports several artiful bye Bridgeville appliance. A couple of
interesting developments yesterday as they relate to the practice participation report. Uh,
Kyle Dugar was in Pittsburgh and out there in a
full participant. Tara Austin said, we'll see what he can
do if we can use him. If he's available. Douger said, hey,
I'll be ready if they need me.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I'm ready.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
I don't think Kyle Doug is a needle mover, but
to Shaun Elliott is down.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's not about a needle mover. It's just about like
plugging the hole.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
I mean, Jabrill Peppers was limited with a quadricep. He
would be another guy that would conceivably be in the
mix to play more in Elliott's absence. And Corey Trice
Junior how many how many plays did he get in
practice where he got hurt again? Trice, Yeah, I don't
know how many plays, but he was limited with a
knee activated. I mean he's trying to make it back
(24:43):
from the IR window. I put a couple of videos
up of him yesterday because we were in the indoor
facility and I could actually get close to the DB's
for change. Normally I can't get access to them very well.
But he's just so physically gifted. If you didn't know
anything about football, And yes, somebody show me what a
cornerback is supposed to look like. Somebody would show you
(25:04):
a picture of Corey Trice. But he can't stay on
the field.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, no, except court, Yeah, except these on crutches.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah, it's like the cornerback Bo Bennett beyond fro.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I was gonna ask for an analogy on that bow.
Bennett's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
It's a real good one, man, because Bou Bennett was
a real good player too. He just never got a
chance to get help me to show it. Here's the
real curious development to me, Darius Slay did not practice
personal matter. Now this in the immediate aftermath of Sleigh
paying fifty percent of the defensive snaps in the Green
(25:38):
Bay game. He played one hundred percent the first two weeks,
eighty five percent the third week, ninety six to fourth
week fifty percent of the snaps, and did not practice
yesterday because of a personal man.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Did he talk to the media at all after.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
The day day?
Speaker 6 (25:53):
I think he talked briefly on Wednesday. I didn't get
to that scrum.
Speaker 7 (25:59):
I saw a clip of him. I'm basically saying that.
You know, I think I've played pretty well. I haven't
played as well as I want to. There's still a
lot of things to clean up.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
This is Did he address the Williams touchdown?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Yeah? He said no. I I got absolutely cooked on
that one. No he didn't. He did not.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
This is curious to me. Stay tuned on that one.
Trading deadline is Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Oh that's see what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
I mean, if theoretically I haven't been told this or anything,
but if he is in to have his role reduced
and he does not want to have a reduced role,
he might put me. I would think they would move him.
And as poorly as I think he's played. Two things,
the NFL doesn't have an abundance over cornerbacks.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
On offensive lineman.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
And you know, if you get a seventh round pick,
a sixth round pick and.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Corey Tranks gotta stay healthy for you though.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, that's uh. That would help.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
From the indie side, a couple of guys who did
not practice that would be potentially impactful. Sunday wide receiver
Anthony gold Knee. He's a return guy, punts and kickoffs,
some little guy that can really scoot and one of
their best defensive lineman, Grover Stewart foot has not practiced yet.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Tomin's gonna love that little guy.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
He's gonna be like, obviously, I desire to covet him.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
So small and so fast. I love it.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Once he gets once he gets to be thirty five,
he's mine, exactly.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
This guy's even say that.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
He says that to them, like one day I'm gonna
I can't afford you yet. One day I'm gonna come
get remember a queen.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Yeah, you're playing for the wrong team, You're on the
wrong side.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah, supprise they got him when they did slay.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I think he said that too too.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
I mean a lot of those press conferences that he
does on Tuesday, the first half of them is basically
like a book report on the other team, where he's
just talking about all the players and guys that he loves.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Yeah, and a lot of those guys end up here
over here now again. Now you guys are looking for
a little positive pick me up. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 6 (27:55):
It involves the offense, and specifically it involves Aaron Rodgers
talking about Jalen Warren.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
No, no surprise.
Speaker 10 (28:03):
I mean I saw him play last year, and I've
always been a fan of his as a change up back,
and I always wondered what it would be like if
he got a chance to.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Be the guy.
Speaker 10 (28:11):
When I saw Nae got got traded, I figured he'd
get a chance. And then when I got here, just
the way he's so dynamic with the football. He's hilarious
out there on the field because, uh, he's such a
sweet guy, and you know, just some of the things
he's thinking about from time to time is amazing. He's
just always so positive out there. But I love being
(28:32):
a hutto and being out there and the gun next
to him and they're just kind of watching him go.
You know, There's there's been throws I made this year
that in the past I wouldn't make because you know,
maybe he's a guy out there, maybe he's a couple
of guys out there, but I just feel like, you know,
when he's got the ball in the sands, the first
guy and never brings him down. And you know, we
had to play the other night fake the pitch to him,
(28:52):
came back, had some deeper routes and I threw out
in the flat and if you pausitive film there's like
three guys in the way, and he makes all three
miss and it runs over the safety for a twelve
yard game. It just comes back to the huddle like, yeah, normal,
it's nothing, nothing crazy happened.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
That's what I love abot him.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
There's expectation when he gets the ball that something great
is going to happen, and his energy like that is
very infectious for offense.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Yeah, what he's done this year is far exceeded when
I ever thought he would be tool doing.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Jayalen Warren's not a sound bite machine, but I went
and bounced that off him. I said, hey, Aaron Rodgers said,
he's making throws he wouldn't make in the past, because
when you're covered, you're not covered.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Aaron said that he was. He was touched. He appreciated it.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
So they got that guy, they got, they got some weaponry.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Man.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
The line.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
The line is getting better and the real interesting part
of this Colts matchup is, uh, I believe whether same
model plays or not. Rogers said after the game Sunday,
they have other people that they can still do the jumbo.
The Colts loved to play nickel man. They love to
be a nickel and if the Steelers come out in
(30:04):
Hannibal's elephants and shove it down the throat to the nickel.
That could a potentially work and be potentially take up
a lot of time.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
Oh god, I want to get nickel and dime, don't
we Well?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I mean, if, if, if going underneath works, do it,
you know, because you can take the top off eventually when.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
You do that, they're going to have to react eventually
unless you just stop doing it.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Or Boswell's gonna have six field.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Goals, well three at a time. Man, just just put
points on the board. That's a to our earlier discussion.
I don't want to pass up points, but I don't
want to punt either. The go forth thing to me
would involve not punting, not kicking a.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Fight, especially with this defense. I don't think you can
Dan Campbell this. I don't think you go for it
or fourth down all the time. It's but I do
think he needs to consider even though aggressive in certain.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Instances, there are some guys around the league now fourth
and one from the twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
They're doing it. I mean seen it, Yeah, take a shot.
I mean Ravens do it, Lions do it, Bengals, you
see it. You see it way more than.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
You used to, that's for sure, because the league is
set up for offense. Yeah, you know, it's not an
even thing out there the defensively.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
You are up against the rules.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
How many times during a game, especially the way the
defense is playing right now, that they're in third and
short or and they don't get it that you don't say, why.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Don't they go for it? This isn't easy, This isn't
gimme against this defense right now.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Yeah, I was surprised Baltimore actually putted last night.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
They had a third and one and Henry got stuffed.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
I forget at what point of the game it was,
but still relatively early, and the game was still relatively competitive,
and they kicked it. They must have just thought out,
we'll get the next one.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
We'll talk to guy Johnker when we come back. Sean Casey,
the Mayor, ways in on the World Series and Game
six tonight in Toronto. This has been a hell of
a World Series. Yes, oh yeah, it really has. It
has been very exciting, isn't it always?
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Though? No, I don't think it's been like.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
This well, I don't think people.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I think everyone slept on the Blue Jays first of all,
and they didn't guilty us understand those bats and what
they're capable of doing.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
And just the individual performances too.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
Show hey, what he did in that eighteen inning game,
and what this rookie that low a ball just did
in the last game.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
That eighteen inning game had more unbelievable highlights than any
baseball game I have ever seen.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
The amount of this.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
If they screw this, seas of the play games over
plays at third base just absolutely nuts. All right, So
we'll talk to Case about that coming up Pittsburgh's winter storms.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Guy Junker is joining us right now on the DV
morning show.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Guy, good morning.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
How are you hey?
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Everybody? Happy Halloween? How you doing?
Speaker 3 (34:31):
H Happy Halloween? Doing great?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
The scariest thing this weekend might be the steelersh defense
against Indiana Jones, brother.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
I uh yeah, I mean you look at it. If
they killed and stopped the running game of the Bengals
with the worst in the league, gonna stop the number
one running back in the league right now. But uh,
you know, these are the frustrations with the Steelers over
the years. This is the kind of game that they
end up winning. I'm not saying they're gonna win, but
I also think in the Indy, if you look at
their schedule, it's been a kind of a cake walk.
(35:04):
I'm not one hundred percent sold on them as a
legitimate AFC threat. I don't know if I have them
up there with the Kansas City's and the Buffaloes. You know,
they beat Tennessee twice, they have one win. They beat
the Dolphins, they have two wins. They beat the Raiders,
they have two wins, so they may be good, but
they haven't completely proven that to me yet. And sometimes
(35:24):
the Steelers play their best when their backs are against
the wall and they're getting hammered by everybody, which they.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Obviously are already commenced.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
But that's what we've been saying all morning, and it
is hard to hang your hat on. The Colts are
due to lose, and the Steelers usually win games like
this that they shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
The the And this is important because teams that are
statistically teams that are five and three compared to teams
that are four and four, their chances of making the
playoffs get cut in half if they lose this game
this week. But you're right, I just think that they
are better. We all think that they're better than what
they've showed. So you think at some point that's gonna
(36:07):
come up. Maybe this week they can count to eleven
and have eleven players on the field at a key
point in the game.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Could you believe how he just excused that away as
part of sel I couldn't no.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
That is absolutely inexcusable. And the other thing that really
irked me, And I know you guys talked about this
a little bit before. When you're complaining when your defense
has been so terrible and you start your press conference
complaining about the offense settling for field goals, even if
that is part of the equation of their struggles. When
(36:40):
you're getting field goals at fifty six, fifty, fifty six,
forty eight, you should be happy you're getting any points
at all. It's not like this offense didn't bog down.
They weren't in the red zone one of those field
goal tries. I mean, they were barely you know, they
were with the thirty eight twice. They did get to
the twenty four, and Heyward the faalse start penalty, which
(37:01):
pushed them back. But it's not like that they're blowing
chances in the red zone. They're barely getting into the
other team's territory. But Boswell's so damn good, I mean,
and he makes fifty six yard field goals. They're like
perfectly down the middle every kick.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
Don't criticize that. Be thankful you've got those points because
most teams Green Bay has proven it. In the first half,
they didn't even get closer field goals.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
I don't want to be hyperbolic, but it does seem
that the grumbles of the local Steeler fans that have
turned into you know, roars of discontent with coach Tomlin
seem like it's finally permeated the national media and people
are looking at him in a critical way they have
not before and pointing out all of the statistics that
(37:46):
we have been for the last couple of years about
why it's just not good enough. And now Jerry d
reporting yesterday that ownerships is speculating, not reporting two different things.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
I got report in chat.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Okay, so it's it's from a chat.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
He speculated the chat expressing an opinion.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Okay, that they are impatient and frustrated, but not angry.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
But Jerry in saying.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
That it's just that they're frustrated. Let's right, let's assume
that much.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
But Jerry, everybody knows Jerry's got you know, he's the
kind of talking uh part of Rooney. A lot of
times it's assumed that he's got his ear. I'm just saying,
if it was a report, it would be. Sources have
told the Post Gazette the Steelers are frustrated and.
Speaker 5 (38:33):
Yeah, they're golfing buddies. He he is his ear.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
So what I mean, what are your thoughts with that
is is Mike Tomlin coaching for his job for the
first time for real?
Speaker 5 (38:45):
I think I think that's possible. Yeah, But I still
think that there's a lot of football to be I
think this is going to come down to what happens
in the divisional games. You know, the Ravens last night
and they get there, all their most of their defense
back last week and beat the Bears, which the Bears
are having a billion pointed out a couple of weeks ago.
There they having a pretty good season. And then you know,
if Lamar Jackson runs for four touchdowns last night, I
(39:06):
might go on a little bit, but he throws for
four touchdowns. Now they're any game in a half and
they have two games up with the Steelers. They're not
out of it, but I think I think that the
Steelers can split the two games with the Ravens, beat
the Bengals. When they come here and beat the Browns again,
they're still gonna win the division. But you know, if
they go into the playoffs again get smoked in the
first round, is that even good enough? I mean, I'm
(39:26):
watching what's going on with the Penguins right now, and
I'm never one of these guys to coach the cook
that everybody always wants to do that the minute whatever
team they're rooting for isn't having any success. But I
can't believe how well the Penguins are playing with a
fresh coach and a bunch of young guys. So maybe
maybe it is kind of time to, you know, try
(39:47):
something different.
Speaker 6 (39:48):
Yeah, you know, I think poor performances at home are
significant too.
Speaker 5 (39:58):
You're a little more to you. You bet a lot.
And the last time they were underdogs two weeks in
a row at home, I can't remember it for a while.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
Yeah, it's uh, it's been a while. I would guess,
I don't have that. Uh, yeah, I don't know, but
it's it's a typical to your point.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
But to your point, Mike that the ownership, it's likely
does not like getting embarrassed in front of the home field.
Speaker 7 (40:25):
They got one win out of three games at Acrosshore
this season.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
They beat the Browns and the Green Bay game was bad.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Well that's another thing. You look in India. I mean,
they're five and zer at home, they're only two and
one on the road. They play in that dome, and
I remember, God bless Tounch, I remember touch telling me that,
you know, they pump noise back in through the crowd.
They make it even louder in Indy. It's not even
legal what they do with the noise there. So I'm
still I'm anxious to watch this game to see if
it's for real, to see see if the Steelers. When
(40:56):
you have you know, guys questioning effort, that's what kills
you too, you know, Thorneo and Cama, we're talking about
the try factor and everything. That's it's a mess.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
All right, Who's gonna win the World Series?
Speaker 5 (41:10):
But I have to get you know, it's hard still
to bet against a three hundred and fifty million dollar payroll,
but with two games left at home, I'd have to
go with Toronto. No, I'll say this, you know, I
always people are always the economic apologist for baseball, always
like well, teams like the Dodgers and the Yankees, they
you know, they do have some free agents, but they're
primarily homegrown and then they add the parts with their money.
(41:33):
When the Dodgers played at PNC Park this year, their
starting lineup and those games had seven of the nine
players free agents. It's a store bought team. Don't give
me that crap. So I'm hoping Toronto wins. You know,
I think you guys are right that this has been
a fabulous world series. You know, when you got a
player like Otani, you got an eighteen inning. I had
(41:53):
a speaking engagement at six o'clock. I had to get
up right, so I had to go to bed. At
tenth inning, I didn't get to watch all that. And
then and then you got this savage kid comes in
out of nowhere, does what he does. It hasn't been
I think a fascinating world series.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Oh I mean Yamoto the flattie. Yeah, there's just it's.
Speaker 7 (42:12):
Gladdy's making incredible plays in the field on top of
hitting bombs.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
He's so fun to wat Well, you know what, when
they impressed me so much when they came here to
play just because they have power. They can hit some
home runs, but they're aggressive, they're swinging it first and
second pitches or not so many teams now they strike
out or they hit home runs. They played good defense.
I just think overall they were they were really good
overall baseball team. And right now they got the Dodger
(42:37):
bets kind of silence. So, uh, they're they're fun to watch.
It would help if Springer could be healthy and play.
I mean, that's a tough guy, supposed to supposed to play,
is he really?
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (42:48):
I don't know if he's gonna be a hundred.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
Ratings.
Speaker 5 (42:51):
The ratings, believe it or not, are down, But when
you think about it, I mean, you know, with the
Canadian team in there, the ratings in Canada and Japan
are at an all time high. They're down a little
