Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is WDVEE Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Here's a pass out to the left, Flatford Gamewell gets
to the edge and scampers into the end zone and
Kenneth Gainwell has given the Steelers an early lead on
this opening drive with a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Huge day from Kenneth Gainwell yesterday.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
He hit seven.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
Catches for eighty one yards and two touchdowns. Also added
nine carries for twenty four yards rushing yesterday as the
Steelers take care of business against Joe Flacco and the Bengals,
and the final score, of course, thirty four to twelve.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Good guys, it's a DV morning show.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Randy Bauman and Abby Krisner and our buddy Jeff Conkle
was coming in and hanging out with us here this morning.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
It's good to see you, buddy. Thanks for coming in.
Good morning. I didn't want to confuse anybody.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Because you're going to be a lot of people whose
calendars are a little jacked up.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Mister Wednesday came in on a Monday.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
But with the quick turnover when with Bill's departure, we're
gonna have a lot of friends coming in and hang
out with us here over the next couple of weeks.
While we figure out what the hell we're gonna do,
because it all came up so quickly. And uh so
we appreciate you you coming in and hanging out with us,
happy to clock a shift, happy to do one, happy
to do one after a Steelers win, so you can

(01:14):
the people's hearts and are receptive to hearing my voice
on Monday.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
That's nice. That was a big deal. Jeff had a
he did have.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
That was the the circumstance that he would come in
if the Steelers win, I'll be there, yes, If not,
I want nothing to do with Yeah, right right, Jerry
do like will join us a little bit later on
this morning. And Rob King, I think the big thing
from yesterday's game, of course, ended up being Spitkate, Yeah,
Dinny or Didney? Did Jamar Chase spit on Jalen Ramsey?

(01:44):
Jamar Chase says he said he did not do it.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
He was saying that you spin on him? Did you
spin on him? I never opened my mouth today, guy.

Speaker 5 (01:54):
So what what do you think prompted the reaction from him?

Speaker 6 (01:58):
Well, you don't like some of us, where As I
told him, we've been going back and foot the whole time.
So I'm sure, some shit some got under this can
first time we had a education and then it was
a second time.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Nobody. Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Now, the funny thing about this to me, I can't
really play much of Jalen Ramsey's account of this because
he just swore this is non stop.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
But he said, when asked, is spitting.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
One of the most disrespectful things someone can do? And
Jalen Ramsey's response was, it is. It's what p words do,
quite honestly, and his his formality in that retort made
me laugh, like, quite honestly, may.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
I be frank with you?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Cited in footnote three of the BRO Code, one does
not spit on another bro. He's by the way, he's
one hundred percent right, not only with his statement, but
as part of the Bro Code, a spit is a
on site go that you just have to start throwing
buch to do that. You can't let that slide.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
You have to. If John Cena spits on you.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
I'm I'm at least going to throw something at him
before I get killed, Like I'm gonna take.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Whatever's close to me and I'll throw it at him.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
And then here here's the thing about that, though, Jeff,
is that Jalen or rather Jamar Chase denying that he
spit on Jalen Ramsey when the video evidence is so damning,
Like it wasn't just a spit, I mean it was
like a lined up how oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
To voluminous.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
I mean it was it had viscosity, It was a
it was visible from the five hundred section.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
So I don't know how he thought he was gonna
get away with.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
This when he's denying it. Do you remember when Beetlejuice
used to be on the Howard Stern Show. Yeahs like, man,
I never did I never did, no, I never opened
my mouth, and nobody like that's what That's what it's
is what it sounded like like that.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
That was clearly someone trying to get away with a lie.
That he was like, ah, crap, this is gonna be
a this is gonna be a thing here.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Well, you know, he took his helmet off on the field,
if nothing else, he should have been ejected for that.
I think the refs bungled that. They bungled a couple
of things again yesterday, but that whole they those two
were going back and forth the whole time, Jamar and
Jalen Ramsey were at each other's throats quite literally right
up until that point. And I know that Ramsey knows

(04:29):
the line. This was the first time that he went
full Ramsey, and I was kind of pissed at first.
I'm like, why would he do something like that? No one,
He's taking himself out of the end, giving them the
first down here, and then we lose him and then
you find find out about the spits.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
See.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, I think his response was like as aggressive with
what within be while being constrained as possible, like grabbing
jerk in the face mask, like that's probably the minimum
response that he thought, like, this is what I can
get away with as a man while trying. I'm not
I'm not trying to get ejected for like five games.
So this is what I'm gonna do, and I'm gonna
te the consequences of that. My teammates will probably be

(05:02):
fine with it. And I actually thought that whole game
between Darnell Washington trucking people and like the the spitgate thing,
like that to me is prep for Cleveland, prep for Baltimore,
because like those games are gonna be dogfights, and you
need to like put a line in the sand and
be like, Okay, we're in this like we're going.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I mean, Mount Washington erupted back to pass looking fires
over the middle of the field, complete to Darna Wash.

Speaker 7 (05:28):
Oh he shut down a man and then lowers his shoulder,
grumbling down the left sideline.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Oh, he shrucked him off.

Speaker 8 (05:36):
With a stiff arm and got down the left sideline
inside the thirty five yard line of the Bengals.

Speaker 9 (05:42):
Out of the thirty one, tis three guys on That
man has a family.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Good God, there is nothing that gets I really feel
like a good, solid stiff arm might be the thing
that Steelers fans like the most out of anything.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, Defender trying in vain to reach and just like
uh when Le'Veon Bell, I forget when he I forget
who it was against. But he did a undertaker choke
slam to somebody on the way out, and that crowd
popped harder than I've ever heard it before.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
It was so Drake Kirkpatrick seventeen. Jake had a cooked
up already.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Well, the one that I'm thinking, the one I'm thinking
of Jacob is Vance McDonald against Tampa on that seventy
five yard er.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Do you guys remember that one. Oh yeah, of course, yeah,
Monday Night Football.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, Vance McDonald, he burst down, Vance McDonald.

Speaker 8 (06:40):
He kicks his wading Kenny.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Get there. He just threw.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
I don't remember who that g bac was, but man,
that dude just uh.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
That Vance McDonald. There's the name I haven't heard.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
There's gotta be at least three Vance McDonald jerseys at
a stealer game at any given.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
There's no doubt.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
There's there really should be a drinking game associated with now.
And I know that Bill used to do this at
the tailgates.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Where they would reward people for.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Like the most random jerseys or whatever.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
But what they would do is like if you had
a line of sweet jersey, it's like, well that's useless.
Here's a good one. But there should be a points
system awarded for like.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Degree of difficulty.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yes, it's like like landing a triple LUTs and ice
skating or something like that. Like if you go into
a game and come out of a game wearing an
amas Zeroway jersey, like you should get a prize.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Nick her big big starting yesterday for the injured Alex
high Smith. The thing was it was all the backups
yesterday Mason came in and performed well as he always does.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
As he always does, Mason.

Speaker 9 (07:49):
It takes a little bit of your dreams, little.

Speaker 8 (07:52):
Bit of.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Mason gets it done once again yesterday.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
So no real fall off when they lose Aaron Rodgers,
which is good to know going forward, whereas mediocre offensive
league with Mason as we are with Aaron Rodgers. That
being said, the big one was gain Well again stepping
up and filling the void. James Pierre, though, was the
unexpected one. This is a guy who gets pillaring quite

(08:17):
often from when he comes in. He gives up big plays.
He seems to always have his hand in a big
splash play, but then is on the one way or
the other. Yeah, but is on the receiving end of
getting toasted. Yesterday that wasn't the case. He was just great.
The long ball to Chase, perfect breakup there and then
of course the funnel recovery returned for a touchdown that

(08:39):
sealed the game.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
That pretty much ended things there.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Steelers win yesterday over Joe Flack on the Bengals thirty
four to twelve.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Joe Flacco looked normal.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
That was the number one offense in the league since
Joe Flacco joined the Bengals.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Whoa really and he only threw for like he threw
for like under two hundred yards too, and that was it.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, yesterday Joe Flacco ended up with one hundred and
ninety nine aren't one touchdown and of course the interception
returned for a touchdown. Dugger who almost had another one
plus seven hundred on a Dugger interception yesterday plus six
hundred on a Steelers defensive touchdown.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I felt it just.

Speaker 9 (09:14):
Had an inkling, Abbey, Dude, can Dugger, by the way,
change his Twitter banner from the Patriots to the Steelers?

Speaker 8 (09:20):
Now?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Is he even on? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (09:22):
He is, and his banner still says that he plays
for the Patriots.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well make that any tweeting.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, well okay, well but how about a Sante Samuel
or not or which you we call it?

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Jabrill peppers.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
You know what, I'll check them all, Abbey, I'll check
them all.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Animal report to me later.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
It's like we you know somebody who like just broke
up with their girlfriend, but their Twitter picture is them together,
and you're like, did you just not get around to
it or is this wishful thinking? Maybe just maybe we'll
get back together Drake May's looking pretty good.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
He's not posting, but he is. He is liking things,
so he's on there. Abby has a news update for us.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
What's going on?

Speaker 9 (10:06):
Is this hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems,
Wet Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. Breezy this morning, more
clouds than sun and I a forty five. Jack White
is going to bring some rock and roll to Thanksgiving
this year. The recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
inductee has been tapped to headline the halftime show for
the Thanksgiving Day matchup between his hometown Detroit Lions and

(10:27):
the Green Bay Packers, and that is going to be
on November the twenty seventh.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
I just like how they're like, bad Bunny, isn't white enough?
Who can we get that's whiter?

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Jack White? Is there anybody named white White? Yes? White White? No,
that doesn't work like that. I like the pick.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
I like the pick for I'm a big fan of
I don't know why. I think I was sort of
ambivalent towards him for a long time, and then now
I just he's just hung around long enough where I've
become really appreciative of him. I think he's like a
band her banner or standard bearer for rock music.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Well, what he is is a keeper of the flame.
And I love those guys.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
It's just like you need those guys to keep a
base level of rock and roll appreciation and performance going forward.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
He Abby and I saw him when he did The Club.

Speaker 7 (11:17):
The Club.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
That was one of the best shows I ever saw.

Speaker 9 (11:23):
That broke my brain open because it was one of
those times like where the previous tour in which I
had an opportunity to see him. I think he was
at the Peterson Event Center, and so that was a
really big gig. And then the juxtaposition of seeing him
adjust his own amp, you know, sitting there and like
messing with the knobs and like leaning down to see

(11:43):
if he could hear his cat, yeah exactly, and seeing
just such a smaller staff travel with him and going
back to like a club show felt like such a treat.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
And remember we talked to the Goda Beds who opened
for him, and they said that his staff was totally
cool to the opening band, and they're like, you know,
nice and accommodating and making sure that they felt appreciated
and comfortable with their stage setup.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Because you have to limit it, you know, when you're
the opening band.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Of course, typically when you're in that scenario, the attitude
is this, you're lucky to be here.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Stay out of our way.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
And Jack White's crew was instructed or just because these
are the people he surrounds himself with.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
They it was a one to eighty from that.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
They really made the opening band field supported and you, guys, okay,
you got what you need.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
That's a big difference for.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Don't you feel sometimes that could be more jarring than
being treated like if you're the opener. I've been the
opener for plenty of people. You're treated how you know, Hey,
I'm here for ten minutes. I don't really matter on
this show. If someone's effusively nice to you at that point,
aren't you like, what is what's going on here? Why
is everyone loved? Why is everyone being nice to me?
I'm not used to this. Actually, this is throwing my

(12:54):
energy off as an opener way more than it would
be if people were giving me, you know, all the
accouterments of the green room.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Yeah, no, I see what you're saying. Yeah, don't treat
me as I am.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
The lowly underling that isn't worth a scum on your shoe.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Spank me, spank me please.

Speaker 9 (13:11):
Jack White even went further than that because he was
like putting all of those bands on socials. And I
know that at the time, at least he didn't even
have a phone, so he probably wasn't running his own socials.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
But every tour date that he.

Speaker 9 (13:24):
Did on that club show, he would have a photo
with him and the opening band that he chose for
that date and just a simple check them out, check
these guys, these guys out, like you don't have to
do that.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, I love Jack White. I'm surprised he wants to
spend Thanksgiving doing that. But in Detroit, that's kind of
like if the Steelers asked, you know, the Clerks or
Donnie Iris, they would they would do it.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Isn't that his Like Second Place doesn't have that record
store up in Detroit. National Nashville.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
Oh, I think they have a branch in Detroit because
they likely do.

Speaker 9 (13:58):
And there's another like theater that was into Troy that
I think he had a big part in making.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Sure it's stayed later. That's it.

Speaker 9 (14:04):
But yeah, Third Man is in Nashville, which I've I've
had the chance to go because the actual record store
is tiny, yeah, and is a combination of record store
and like taxidermy because it's just exactly.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
What you think Americana. Yeah, it's like Jack White reupholstered
a chair. It's like a record and human teeth.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Weird.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, you know, it's just like.

Speaker 9 (14:24):
What you think is is in Jack White's house or
something like that. What's odd about this Thanksgiving halftime show?
It's actually produced by Eminem and Eminem's manager. So Eminem
is the one who picked Jack White to do the
halftime show.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
That's now I'm hoping for the mashup. Yeah, I'm hoping
Eminem comes out and performs.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
So I don't know how.

Speaker 9 (14:53):
Seven Nation Army yeah, mom spaghetti.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, but not.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
A lot of Eminem stuff, is you know network television friendly? Well,
the FCCS really relaxed their their standards lately. Maybe we
can talk about killing our wives on the on the air.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Now who knows? All right? So that who do they play?
I don't even know who. It's the Lions and the
Packers on the twenty show.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Good good, little NFC Central matchup there and then for.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
The Thanksgiving games.

Speaker 9 (15:24):
That's actually not the only big performance to note post
Malone is going to headline the halftime show of the
Cowboys against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Well, he's a perfect Dallas guy, isn't he. That's just
like the post Malone says it all.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Yeah, bud light in hands twenty four to seven, that
screams Dallas all the time, wearing a cat he'll have
a cowboy hat on, a little bit of a bud
light in hands, right, Like the.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Fact that he went country and like it's just the
amount of people who dip their toe into the country
well always surprises me because I don't know whether I
should give the country crowd credit for accepting anybody or
if it's like, are you people that easily manipulated?

Speaker 1 (16:05):
I you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Because it's like Steven Tyler's like I put on a
country record, did you did you though? You feel like
was that an earnest effort or were you just seeing
if you hit a lottery ticket?

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Country music to me at this point is really a
toe hold and it's either a toe hold up or
a toe hold down. It's either like Taylor Swift like, Hey,
I'm going to climb over. I'm going to use this
to climb up the pop mountain. Yes, or Miley Sire
or whoever you know, whoever else was sort of doing
that that type of stuff. But it's also on the
way down is I was a pop star and now

(16:35):
I got nothing. So it's it's either country or Christmas album.
Those are the final two toe holds of the uh war.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
The country Christmas album, The country Christmas album that's right,
the double toofke as my dad would say.

Speaker 9 (16:49):
The final one is Little John's gonna play the Ravens
in the Cincinnati Bengals game.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
I want to hear his Christmas album, The twelve as
a Christmas I don't know.

Speaker 9 (17:05):
All three games are going to be nationally televised, beginning
with that Lions Packers game that'll be on Fox at
one o'clock.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
People are mad about Bad Bunny, but not Little John.
We've been post Malone like it. I guess it depends
on what post Malone's singing, but yeah, he's got so
much different stuff he could throw. He could tailor a set.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
I just it's always blown me away that people will
tell me they're like, oh my god, I stop post Malone.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
He was so good. I'm like, really like that shocks me.
I got nothing against him.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
I don't know the stuff that well, but he just
didn't strike me as like his Like I thought he
was kid Rock light and I have seen kid Rock
and I thought it was like embarrassing because he did
this thing where he had all these badass musicians on
stage and he tried to do the Edgar Winner thing
where he went around and played every instrument on the stage.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
It's like Edgar Winner could do it, you.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Know what I mean, and Edgar like if you if
you google Edgar Winner Franken's Dying Performance live, there's several
television performances of Edgar Winner doing Frankenstein. The notable one,
if you want to go right to a good one,
is the Old Gray Whistle Test, and it is jaw
droppingly funny because he's literally running around the stage and
he plays everything.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
At some point he's telling the other band members like move, move,
move move, and then he like his.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Hands are on the guitar player's neck. You know, kid
Rock did it. It's like he couldn't really play the drums.
You could get pamp point plink away at the guitar.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
I know.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
I feel like there's a lot of artists that try
to do that where they'll come out with a guitar,
they'll play the first two chords and then whip it
around their back, and it's just like he played guitar.
Well he sort of did. He played Smoke on the Water. Yeah,
but you gotta have something in your hands. I mean
it's hard to sit out there with something in your hands.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
But post Malone always thought was like that, but it
turns out he's not. He's like much more actually talented
and versatile.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
I also think that he it just seems like in
like he enjoys it and wants to perform and entertain
you in earnest because like he's been challenged, Like he
went on the Breakfast Club and like Charlemagne was in
there and he's just like why are you a culture vulture?

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Like why?

Speaker 4 (19:12):
And he was just like, man, it's like I just
I don't know, like I'm not trying to start any ways,
Like I just like entertaining people.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
And he repeated that so many.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
Times and so many different that he skated over all
the criticism because people are like, ah, what's the harm.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Now he's a nice guy. Well he's a nice Yeah,
he's likeah, he's a good dude.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Every time I see him, I always think, like, you know,
my dad, if he saw anybody with a tattoo above
their shoulders, would be like that guy, I'll never get
a job in a bank, And like now you are
getting bank loans from people who have tattoos under their eyes.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yes? Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
My point with that is always like, what makes you
think that guy wants to work in a bank?

Speaker 10 (19:49):
Like that?

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Never hurt jelled to me? What's that It's going to
break his heart? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (19:54):
He always had the vision of being CFO of Morgan
Stanley and now the next tattoo ruined that.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
That's so normal.

Speaker 9 (20:01):
Now going and be like I have a deposit today,
Oh spider, is that you?

Speaker 11 (20:06):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (20:07):
Your gauges look great? Good breezy this morning, more clouds
than sun. It's a high of forty five today.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Steelers over the Bengals yesterday. Mike with Moore from yesterday's
the fallout of the injury from Aaron Rodgers, How bad
is that left wrist, Jalen Warren's ankle, and a look
ahead at the Bears, as well as just breathing a
big sigh of relief after getting that much needed win
yesterday against the division foe, which puts the Steelers now

(20:33):
at six and four.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Browns can't do us any favors.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Shador Sanders got awful, unable to get to win over
the Ravens. He goes in after Dylan Gabriel goes down
with a concussion.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
So now the Steelers head two Chicago.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
They're going to face the Bears this coming Sunday, and uh,
that's a one o'clock game, Thank god.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Oh man, I'm glad sometimes a normalcy. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
But then I think after that, after Thanksgiving is the Bills,
which I think is a four to twenty five. Something
tells me that one gets flexed to primetime. But anyways,

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Today E sports all Right, Mike pursued with the recap
of yesterday Steelers win over the Bengals thirty four to
twelve and a couple of defensive scores adding to that
big game app thirty four to twelve. I thought it
was going to go down to the wire going into
the second half. It was only ten six. As they
went into the locker room there, it came ten to

(22:09):
nine and then they, yeah, came out without Aaron Rodgers
and that was the the big news there for the
Pittsburgh Steelers. The crazy thing, how many drives did Mason
Rudolph captain there yesterday in that entire half of football?

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Not many? Two? Was it too?

Speaker 3 (22:26):
I think it's two because we had the defensive touchdowns,
keep talking, I'm looking at it, and we had a
one of the drives we had was super long and
their drive that ended in a field goal.

Speaker 11 (22:42):
I believe they got a kneeled down at the end
of the game, but yeah, it was field goal touchdown.
The sports that's not brought to you by Bridgeville clients.
The view from thirty thousand feet. It depends on your perspective.
If you want to get excited about Steelers thirty four
Bengals twelve, or if you going to be concerned about it.
The concern is the offense played a defense that had

(23:05):
given up seventy points in its last five quarters seventy
in its last five quarters, and didn't like the Bengals up. Yeah,
Or if you want to be optimistic about it, the
defense took on an offense that has been scorching the
earth for a month with Joe Flacco and shut it

(23:25):
right down.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Let's focus on the positive, Mike, No need to dwell
in the negative this morning.

Speaker 11 (23:30):
Well before we get to the positive, one of the
underrated components of what they did offensively yesterday. They played
Roman Wilson fifty seven percent of the snaps and Calvin
Austin twenty nine percent. I was Austin didn't get into
the game until late in the second possession. Now, they

(23:51):
ran a lot of multi tight ends like they always do.
But even when it was two receivers. Remember at the
start of the season it was Metcalf and Austin, and
if one of those guys got one on one they
were going downtown. They are flailing for a second wide
receiver all of a sudden, All of a sudden, this
has been since July. Well, no, I think Calvin was

(24:13):
that guy when the season started, and then he got hurt,
and since he's come back, he's now on the outs.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
For some reason.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Well, he also screwed up on that one punt return yesterday,
just trying too hard.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Should have let that bounce.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Into the end zone and he ended up jumping on
it on the like seven yard line.

Speaker 11 (24:30):
I thought they were in pretty good shape early in
the year. Now you know this passing game, Roman Wilson ain't.
He does not have the speed that Calvin Austen has
at number two. And I'm not sure why they would
be down on Calvin Austin other than if that injury
really has slowed him down.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
If that's the case, why would you have him returning
punts that It can't be the injury. Stay tuned on that.
But the defense was fantastic. Finally looked like and I'm
not even talking about scoring two touchdowns, but just keeping
the clamps. Jamar Chase getting three catches on ten targets
for thirty yards.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Is you can't do much better than that.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Well, I think discipline was the biggest problem for them
the last time they played the Bengals. It's literally just
stay in your gaps, play a position on the you know,
on the down for the down lineman, enable the secondary
to do what they do. They were so lost in
zone defense in that game that I think with Dugger
being there, with Ramsey now back at safety, that they

(25:31):
could really just get back to some fundamentals and that
would be good enough.

Speaker 11 (25:35):
That's what the coaches keep talking about. Stability is the
word they keep throwing around. They have stability on the
back end, so you're not giving up the huge splash
plays that have killed them so many times.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Now, losing Jail and Ramsey after the spit incident that
could have been devastating for the Steelers, No, Sleigh, I
think James Pierre is proven.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
He's the better option anyways right now.

Speaker 11 (26:01):
That's something to keep an eye on moving forward as well,
because what he did yesterday that deep post to Jamar Chase,
that's a touchdown of slaves in there.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
I mean the follow recovery's great, but that's the one
that stands out to me well, and.

Speaker 11 (26:16):
The other one, and he was tackling the catch. When
they hit passes on him, he was in the same
area code and he was able to get the guy
on the ground. So it was a fifteen yard game,
not forty.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Five, right.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
I forget what game it was, but they were saying
they were having trouble tackling and Tomlin said, we need them.
Tomlin was like, we need the second guy making the
play on the ball, first guy wrapping up. And that's
what I noticed yesterday, Like Patrick Wilson or Peyton Wilson,
it's always trying to, you know, make that sort of
splash play. He was wrapping people up and letting somebody
else come in and try to punch the ball out
and that probably paid dividends.

Speaker 11 (26:49):
That's what they've been after defensively all season and not
quite Frankly, guys, that was my biggest concern going into
the game.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I thought they'd score in.

Speaker 11 (26:56):
The thirties because everybody does against the Bengals, the kind
of did it unconventionally with the two defensive touchdowns, Yeah,
but I didn't know if they could keep these guys
under forty number one offense in the league. Since Joe
Flako got on they gave one touchdown. It was what
they have been after as Chase.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Brown one yard short of one hundred yesterday, though, I
mean they did make some headway on the running game
once again.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
They did, but if you take the wide outs, look
what good did it do? Exactly?

Speaker 11 (27:27):
That's like a pride thing for defense. Don't give up
one hundred yard rusher. Don't give up one hundred yards
rushing as a team when you're playing those guys who cares.
I would rather than give the ball to Chase Brown
than throw it to freaking number one or number five.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
It looked like Higgins had more opportunities than Jamar Chase
did yesterday. And I think like part of Chase's frustration
was boiling over with Ramsey. I think that Ramsey Ramsey,
I think effectively, even though he actually got taken out
of the game. I think maybe he did a better
job of taking the Jamar Chase out of the game.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
And again, it wasn't anything.

Speaker 11 (28:00):
They didn't come up with some kind of reinvention on
the reel. They just played your stuff. They did a
lot of the not just the three outside linebackers thing
that Benzi was talking about, which contributed to the Dugger interception.
But they played a lot of that three inside linebacker
look as well. I'm a big fan of that as

(28:21):
opposed to their standard nickel. A lot of what Chase
Brown did was running into the nickel, which they've had
problems with how many seasons in a row.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Like you know, you put your.

Speaker 11 (28:31):
Pass defense in, the other team doesn't cooperate and runs
the ball and then you get gashed. But when they
got those three inside linebackers, I think that gives them
a better chance.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
To defend both.

Speaker 11 (28:42):
And a lot of times they do that with one
defensive lineman or they'll sometimes they'll take out a defensive back,
but just having three really good players on the field
at that second level that can read, react and do either.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Well, sometimes you end up with Jack Sawyer covering t
Higgins though.

Speaker 13 (28:57):
Yeah, but they got they got schemed on that because
it was two tight ends, so they had the basin
And the problem with that play to me was the
rush didn't get there.

Speaker 11 (29:09):
Because that's a long developing play. Sawyer can run with
him on a shallow cross and he might get a
five yard catch. But Trent Green was doing the color
analyst role. Yesterday I watched a lot of the game
when I went home last night, and Green was of
the opinion that Higgins just kind of read that and
turned it up like that wasn't even the design, like

(29:29):
they got they got screwed on it because the rush
didn't get there.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Uh, they kind of made up for it on the.

Speaker 11 (29:35):
Dugger interception because they they left the middle of the
field open intentionally. They had Patrick Queen out with a
tight end on the wing with Joey Porter who was
on a wide receiver, and then Duggar kind of dropped
into the hole. As the play developed, Flacco thought he
had the middle and he didn't have the middle.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Why did that look like a bad interception? Though, if
you were a Bengals fan, you were like, yes, threw.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
It right to him.

Speaker 11 (30:01):
They kind of dared them to throw it, Yeah, and
just pulled it off. And then great job I heard
of getting downfield providing. Yeah, And I just want to
point out that T Higgins chase that play for about
fifteen yards and said, eh, effort, effort, effort, and you
know he Dugger had to slow up and kind of
read the block herving and then yeah, then stop and

(30:22):
work his way around Jimore chase into five yard because
Chase was hustling and.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Uggers last run the ball, run to the ball.

Speaker 11 (30:29):
No matter what run to the ball, something can happen.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Dougger's last five yards were they can only be described
as a saunter.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
And that that little sort of pause step.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
That he took and he basically just like Sidete, just
walked into the end zone.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
That was smooth.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
There was a lot of both pick sixes were real
smooth or that the pick six and then the Thumber recovery.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Well, hold on, James Pierre.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
My only gripe with him is we don't have enough
dbs for him to be doing flips into the end zone.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
I agree, it looked like.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Twisted in all different directions like that would be the
worst way to.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Knock yourself out for the season. We need you JP. Yeah,
who knew that, right?

Speaker 6 (31:08):
I know?

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Well, maybe it's Santa Samuel coming in next week, if
that's possible. I'm not sure why he didn't get the
hat this week quickly al games a lot last September.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, the other guy.

Speaker 11 (31:22):
I'm going to continue to harp on Marquez Valdez scantling.
I don't I don't know if he's the answer or not.
But they need to find out because if.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
You're playing, if you're playing Roman, Wilson's sixty two percent
of the snaps. I agree with you, all right, Abby,
you will have your news coming up at the top.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Of the hour.

asked my doctor about treating my TD and learned about Ingreza.
Valbenizine consules, a prescription medicine clinically proven for reducing.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
Maybe maybe Jamar Chase was just on that medicine.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
It was this is drooling, that's windy.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Yeah, it wasn't a spite.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
He was on whatever that TD thing is. All right.

Speaker 11 (35:01):
The other side effects I've heard for some other things.
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
I don't know. There was a lot on that one.
The side effects on that one were just call your doctor. Anyways.
It is the DV morning show. You're radio home of
the Pittsburgh Steelers. One a two point five DV Time
for the top five plays of the game. And let's
start at number five with the four mentioned kerfuffle between

(35:29):
Ramsey and Chase.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Mike.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
This was interesting. The Steelers stop them on third and short.
I thought they got the first down. Joe Flacco takes
them up to go for it on fourth and short
after Ramsey and Jamar Chase had already gone at it once,
and I'm thinking in my head, all right, they're trying

(35:51):
to draw them off side here, and then they'll if
they don't do that, then they'll throw the challenge flag,
because you know, if you don't have to waste a
challenge flag if you're wrong, you look to me and
Jeane's territory agreed. They got the first down there, didn't
get called that way, and they didn't need to challenge
it because of what happened next.

Speaker 11 (36:11):
Always a good idea to challenge those plays, though, where
nobody has any idea where the frigging ball is.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
It's like, give you to get that caller, you can don't.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
They're not gonna change it, not always, not always, but
at any rate.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
At number five, Spitgate.

Speaker 8 (36:26):
Hard count for Flacca, still waiting, touches both sides of
the helmet again, settles back under center. Crowd is roaring
and at for sure three two one, and the Bengals
will not snap it. They'll call a time out instead,
and the crowd roaring its approval of the students defense
just only it's water with all those different looks, oh, all.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
The different formations. You saw a cup and now that
again gotta be careful. I hope both of them don't
get this.

Speaker 8 (36:57):
Well.

Speaker 15 (36:58):
I don't need Jalen Ramsey to the squall out if
Jim Archase does. But geez, this is another one on both.

Speaker 8 (37:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, he doesn't have his helmet on.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yeah, they're both.

Speaker 15 (37:12):
We're probably gonna lose both guys in this. Jayalen Ramsey
getting getting taken away by four different Steeler players and
Jamar Chase no helmet on his own side in this situation.
Cam Hey, we're trying to plead his case to the
referees as well. It's good to call here from Bill Vinovich,
a very important call. Now hands on Hipsy doesn't appear

(37:34):
as if he's quite red.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
Hands on hips here he comes deepens number five.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Number five has been just qualified for throwing a punch.

Speaker 8 (37:47):
In the official We are hearing a serenade by this
Steelers fans here.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
I guess we can call that the EMACU spit ejection.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
That's nice, like the defense held its water and Jamar
Chase expelled some moisture.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
So that's the equilibrium of the universe. It's the saliva
of the fittest. And you know that was at number
five at number four.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Of course that would matter, not because the Steelers bringing
Chuck Clark and then they end up getting another defensive
touchdown after that. I thought that was advantage Bengals for sure, Mike.
It didn't turn out that way, by the way, No,
that was terrifying losing Ramsey. Yes, yes, I agree with you,
But in part it didn't end up mattering because James
Pierre had himself a day at number four.

Speaker 1 (38:37):
Now this was early in the game.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
A ball over the top Jamar Chase is open and
Flacco throws a perfect ball and but four James Pierre,
with this brilliant defensive effort, Steelers might have found themselves
in a lot of trouble early.

Speaker 8 (38:54):
Alse swirling as Flacco gets the snap back to pass
looking gonna loft.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Deep intended for Chase. Hadded away.

Speaker 8 (39:00):
Beautiful play by James Pierre right down the middle of
the field.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Pierre had it judged all the way.

Speaker 11 (39:08):
Great coverage by Pierre, textbook teach tape. That's the guy
they cut at the end of training camp. He's had
him around for a number of years because he's a
great special teams player.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (39:19):
Now they did bring him back quickly and some of
that initial cut might.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
Have been you know, rostered many put a lot of
times that's just a little moving the deck chairs.

Speaker 11 (39:26):
Around, But nobody was ever talking about James pier Is,
the guy was going to really help the defensive quarterback.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
At number three.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
This would be in the fourth quarter, three point forty
left in the game. Macho Mason in for the ailing
Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Kenneth Gainwell gets it done.

Speaker 8 (39:46):
Again, back to pass, looking left the game on the
left Flack game Well shrugs off a tackle and gets
into the end zone for a Pittsburgh Steelers touchdown.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
That puts the Steelers up twenty seven to twelve, micing
that that was pretty much all she wrote.

Speaker 11 (40:01):
You know, the staff has t shirts with a lot
of tomlinisms that they like to wear, and one of
them is dgb TTF and it stands.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
For don't get beat to the flat all right.

Speaker 11 (40:14):
Game Well beat the Bengals drafting linebackers to the flat
all day, all day.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Two touchdowns, same kind of play.

Speaker 11 (40:20):
Although it is really interesting that after a week when
the coaching staff was being assaulted for playing game Well
more snaps than Warren against the Chargers, game Weell becomes.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
The start well out of necessity.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Though Warren was playing great until the injury right at
number two, Mount Washington erupted.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Yesterday The in.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Tiger Country was talking about Darnell Washington yesterday because of
this play back.

Speaker 8 (40:51):
To pass looking fires over the middle of the field, complete.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
The Darna wash.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
He shut down a man and.

Speaker 7 (40:56):
Then lowers his shoulder rumbling down the left sideline.

Speaker 8 (41:01):
He shruck him off with a stiff arm and got
down the left sideline inside the thirty five yard line
of the Bengals out of.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
The thirty one Mike.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
We've been wondering why they don't use this guy more
often because he is impossible to bring down.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
Boy did yesterday prove that, you know.

Speaker 11 (41:19):
You can lob it to him and he can go
up and get it. He can just throw it to
him conventually and he can just go off fat Albert
on these.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Four defeb Albert obviously fat Abert Albert. Yeah, he would
be on ozempic now.

Speaker 9 (41:32):
So No, he's taking souls with him wherever he goes.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
Even on that play where he was trying to hurdle,
imagine Darnell Washington jumping four feet in the air coming
at you. Also talk about nightmare fuel for middle linebackers.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Not good. We have to stop the hurdling though.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
Jalen Warren tried to hurdle early in the game and
he ended up jump kicking Turner, and I mean I
can end up bad for everybody involved.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
The number one play of the game.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
You know, if you were to wager early in the
game on a Kyle Dugger interception, they didn't believe you'd
see that because it was plus seven hundred. You know,
defensive touchdown for the Steelers anytime TV plus six hundred
because that's unlikely too. Guess what in one felt swoop,

(42:21):
Kyle Dugger makes both things happen. The newly acquired Steelers stalwart,
I like this guy now wearing number twenty nine, makes
the play of the game.

Speaker 8 (42:32):
Flaco gets a snap back to pass Heelers bringing five
flack over.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
The middle of the field that's picked off. It's Dugger.

Speaker 7 (42:38):
Tugger to the forty yard line, racing across the fifty
to the forty looking for o'clock from Herbi gets a trick.
You got the left sideline fixed, Chaseness and.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Waltz is into the end zone.

Speaker 8 (42:50):
Tugger a seventy two yard interception in return for a
touchdown for the Steeler.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
As much as it's been going on at safety, for
the Steelers to him come in and do that, Mike,
this is the stability that they've been craving.

Speaker 1 (43:04):
You know.

Speaker 11 (43:04):
I'll watched the little Dougger tape when they acquired him,
and I didn't see anything that I thought.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Would lead me to believe he'd be a needle mover
or a.

Speaker 11 (43:12):
Different just just a guy playing.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
A spot wrong. What a play and what a call
by king Er.

Speaker 11 (43:19):
The way he is able to inject every detail into
a play and keep up with it.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
I love it. He's the best.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Steelers win thirty four to twelve, and now it's on
to Cincinnati to face the Bears this Sunday on the
