Speaker 1 (00:14):
Live from the Don's Appliances Studios, where Pittsburgh shops for appliances.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
This is WW Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Snapped Rogers back looking at the right.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Four touchdown Pittsburgh Steelers, a strait from Rogers to prior Moon,
and the Steelers have taken.

Speaker 5 (00:36):
The lead twenty seven to twenty.

Speaker 6 (00:40):
The Pittsburgh Steelers prevail over the red hot Indianapolis Colts
at Akerzer Stadium yesterday, just like we all thought, it
went exactly yesterday. I woke up to the many many
pro I woke up late. I drank Saturday enough to
kill a horse, and and in a rare fit of

(01:02):
hangover I don't usually have wake up with the coffee,
open up the laptop. I've been DMed about five times. Abby,
you were one of them. The funeral in the parking lot,
and I see the fans that create. They had a
casket in the parking lot, a black in gold casket

(01:26):
with a kneeling like a well a kneeler, and then
it had a sign in booklet like you have at
a funeral home. I'm not sure if there were prayer
cards or not, but when I saw that, it actually
it made me.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Mad, sad, embarrassed.

Speaker 6 (01:44):
Lots of feelings, but mostly how did it get to
this point when we opened the season with the proclamation
from our head coach on this very show that this
defense would be historic or had a chance to be historic,
And now they're burying them.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
They're burying them in week nine.

Speaker 6 (02:06):
They're they're, they're they're putting them in the ground. And
then I find out Jalen Ramsey gives a speech to
the Steelers on Saturday night. I don't know if you
ever heard Jaalen Ramsey talk. I bet it was hilarious, Yes,
I mean I bet it was the zestiest. It was
like getting yelled at by Rue Paul.

Speaker 7 (02:30):
Ask him at him.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
That's when I envisioned that.

Speaker 6 (02:37):
Man, we got some talk something like that and then
laid into them. He played an unbelievable game yesterday. The
defense responded, well, I'm wondering now, right.

Speaker 7 (02:49):
I mean, he brought the boomstick that was a double
shoulder pad type game for him.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
He had a couple of big time hits.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
Kyle Dugger also, Bill uh played the majority of the
game right off the street.

Speaker 7 (03:02):
Got the game ball should have should have I mean,
he played damn near every snap.

Speaker 6 (03:08):
Six turnovers yesterday after going without for what was of
the last four weeks and in three weeks I think
it's They got a workman's effort from Aaron Rodgers twenty
five to thirty five, two hundred and three yards and
a touchdown, but they held Daniel Jones to this is

(03:31):
held thirty one and fifty for three hundred and forty
two yards.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
A lot of that was at the end.

Speaker 6 (03:37):
They picked up a lot of stuff after got Yeah,
in kind of garbage time.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
There only one touchdown and this was the big one.

Speaker 6 (03:44):
Three picks on a day where you didn't have Deshaun Elliott,
Chuck Clark, Jabill Peppers and you had to move Ramsey
to safety and bring dougger in off the street and
hope that that would work. They got three picks mostly
because the front seven were so effing good. Cam Hayward

(04:05):
blocking balls up in there, Peyton Wilson blocking him up
in the air.

Speaker 8 (04:10):
With the trifecta strips back recovery and that was that
was the worm turner right there.

Speaker 6 (04:18):
Yeah, high Smith caused the fumble that Harmon jumped on
the Jack Sawyer.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
The Jack Sawyer one.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
Was huge, huge, huge, and that was I think Wilson
got a hand on that, right, yep. So those guys
came up big and took the pressure off the back end.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
But somehow they looked better.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
I mean, honestly, like I not to throw shade on
Chuck Clark. I don't think he should be out there.
He's been he's been pretty bad this season.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Yeah, you didn't have You didn't have to worry about
him yesterday. What what what you did have to worry
about was whether or not this team was going to
respond the front seven made.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Has happened, I think.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
But the Mike's gonna come in here and tell me
not to discount what the secondary was doing.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
I do think it was a team effort.

Speaker 7 (05:06):
No Cole Holcomb and I thought that that cohesion showed up,
Like we've been asking for this for a while.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Just let's take two guys play.

Speaker 6 (05:14):
Yeah, stick with one offensively a little confusing at times.

Speaker 7 (05:21):
He said that the crowd it was a little harry
there at the beginning.

Speaker 5 (05:26):
Bill they boot him off the field in the first quarter.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Well, I mean they went to and out ear three
and that's the end of the first quarter.

Speaker 9 (05:33):
Boom.

Speaker 6 (05:35):
It was bad and they turned it around big time.
There were some major plays made by the guys that
you need to see making those plays.

Speaker 10 (05:45):
T J.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
Watt, Cam Hayward in particular. DK Metcalf still pisses me off.
He's dropping balls that he should not be dropping. There's
opportunities for plays to be made, he is not making them.
Jalen Warren, We're just not going to enough. I still
don't understand it. But only sixteen carries for thirty one
yards yesterday. I would have thought they would have leaned
on him and ate up some clock. That wasn't how

(06:08):
it ended up going. Calvin Austin ended up as your
leading receiver yesterday with fifty six yards. Gamer love Calvin Austin,
love them love him mouth was a big touchdown as well,
But you know, maybe not on the same page on
the Darnell Washington drop in the end zone.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
After the fun all of those kinds of plays.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
Offense was a little out of sync yesterday, but the
defense gave him short fields so they were able to
make some hay.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 7 (06:33):
It was crazy when they came out with the stat
line that basically the Colts had outgained the Steelers in
the first half.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
You know, but we were up and it.

Speaker 7 (06:41):
Looked lopsided, but that's because of the short fields and
the turnovers. But I think Mike has said this a
number of times on the show. This is not going
to be your fantasy football team. Like if you have
if you play fantasy football and you have a player
that's on the Steelers offense, Yeah, it's going to be
a week to week kind of thing. Somebody might go off.
Like for a second, it looked like Mount Wash was

(07:03):
going off. He got targeted, a targeted a bunch, yeh.

Speaker 6 (07:10):
I thought it was kind of funny though, that Daniel Jones,
it seemed to me turned into the Daniel Jones from
the Giants from only from this perspective here in the footsteps,
because when TJ Watt played against him last time, remember
the famously on that last play that ended the game
against the Giants, I thought there a couple.

Speaker 7 (07:29):
They single covered TJ like that one on one with
that that tackle that was talking trash.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
And and he just swam them and was in Daniel
Johnson or Jones face immediately, Well, Danny dives yesterday, I
thought after the second sack was really here and footsteps
a lot and it was screwing him up. He was
throwing some balls that weren't so great. He kind of
scared to stand. He took some hits.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Man, he took he really did.

Speaker 7 (07:52):
And I think that they the way that that team
is designed is not designed for him to throw the
ball fifty times. Kudos to the defense for making them
one dimensional and smashing the run.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
Again up front, that's where they want it. Yesterday Jonathan
Taylor leading the league only forty five yards on fourteen carries,
a three point two average for the guy who's been
tearing up the league. I did not see this performance
coming from the Steelers. Did not see this game coming.
I thought it was gonna be the shootout, you know,

(08:25):
like we're turning into the Bengals.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
That was anything but yesterday.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Even the ban, like even turning into the Bengals doesn't
work for the Bengals. Oh a thousand yards in the
last two weeks.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
Did you see how that game ended yesterday?

Speaker 7 (08:40):
Ye what, They're sick. Their offense hates their defense, what
a joke? Is a mess.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Steelers? All right, we're five and three.

Speaker 7 (08:51):
Now we're the only team in the North with a
winning with a winning record, like this division has just
fallen off.

Speaker 6 (08:59):
A clip because I'm a greedy Steeler fan. The first
thing I was I thought of, I'm like, dude, this
is a big win.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
And then I was like, I can't believe we lost
the Bengals.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
We'd be six and two right now and we'd be
sailing into the playoffs with them.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
You know, I couldn't enjoy it. I couldn't enjoy it
for more than a half hour.

Speaker 7 (09:17):
I had a little bit of that too, and I
tweeted out we got six turnovers and only won by
seven points, Like it was pretty much a non you know,
in our total yard tensitive game, what twenty five yards? Yes,
it wasn't. It wasn't impressive on that front.

Speaker 6 (09:34):
We had fifty yard fields the whole time.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
The defense kept getting us the ball.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
They had three hundred and sixty eight yards.

Speaker 7 (09:41):
My one nitpick, and I said this to you yesterday,
is just I just want to see the offense be
more efficient, you know what I mean? Oh my god,
I just feel like they leave way too many plays
out there. I mean, the rum and Wilson fumble at
the end of the game was so unnecessary and it
and it kind of gave them a li little bit
of life when that really was a non competitive game

(10:02):
for most of the game.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Well, you'd like to just.

Speaker 7 (10:06):
See them put their you know, foot on the neck
of somebody and actually have it be a real deal blowout.

Speaker 6 (10:14):
Mike's gonna have more on what ended up being a
very It's hard to explain, but the crowd was confused
by what they were seeing because it was so bad
in the first quarter, and then things started going good,
and then it was like, okay, this this seems like
one of those fools gold things, the you know, fools

(10:34):
black and Gold performances that we're watching. They're gonna come
out in the second half and thump us. And then
it didn't happen. I think we three and out them
three and outed them to start the second half. Yeah,
and then and if I'm let me, you know, I'll
look it up. But I think we scored right after that.
Uh yeah, well six minutes into the uh oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

(10:56):
no scoring in the third quarter.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
No, fourth quarter is where it all happened.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
So it was not the game many of us thought
it was gonna happen yesterday at all.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Were there.

Speaker 11 (11:05):
I was not there.

Speaker 12 (11:06):
I was with my dad, screaming at the television and
believing that my mom wasn't allowed to be in the room.
By the time, I think by the strip sack, I
think that was why by the time we're like, Mom,
you can't be.

Speaker 11 (11:19):
In the room anymore.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Why was she coming in?

Speaker 11 (11:21):
Yeah, it was obviously the jinks.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
She wasn't allowed to be in the room.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
I don't want that face looking at this face.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
All right, well, Michael be in in a little bit.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
And now it's Steelers Chargers Sunday night football.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
Do it again, Do it again again, Just just line
up and they can do it again.

Speaker 6 (11:44):
If they did what if they do what they did
there against the Chargers. Yeah, the Chargers don't have as
good of a running attack, but they can still run
the ball.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
And they got Herbert and he's he's a beast. He's
a beast.

Speaker 6 (11:58):
But do you Dimes has been the best in the league.
If they can do what they did yesterday against.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
I always want to say San Diego with.

Speaker 6 (12:06):
The Los Angeles Chargers in a stadium, don't forget that
will be full of Steelers fans.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
That's one thing that that win did yesterday.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
It made sure that that stadium sofi stadium is going
to be terrible, towel laden. They're gonna be pumping in
sound oh yeah, to try and combat all of.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
The Steeler fans. They're going to be in Los Angeles
in the street.

Speaker 7 (12:27):
Hi baby, We're we're an emotional fan base. We're in,
We're out, We're in, We're back in, We're in, We're out.
Oh yeah, they get the game. Leading up to that
Packers game, everybody was was out because it was like
the way that they looked against the Bengals pissed everybody off.
And then the Packers fans were willing to allow Steeler

(12:49):
fans to make a couple hundred bucks on their tickets.

Speaker 6 (12:52):
People were talking about that yesterday to dude, hold my beer.

Speaker 12 (12:56):
When it comes to ugly jerseys, I'll wear are Winnie
the Pooh jerseys any day over.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
That the Packers jersey yesterday time.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, brown khakis. I do love their helmets.

Speaker 7 (13:08):
Yeah, the foe like leather helmet look, but yeah, those
those were not pretty.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
I just don't understand when they have uniforms that make
you look like another team, like, we want to watch
our team.

Speaker 7 (13:17):
And here's another hot take that I have. If you're
gonna throw back to a Jersey. Don't throw back to
a time when you sucked. Yeah, If you're gonna throw
it back, let's remember a time when we were good.
Don't go anywhere earlier than the seventies. Yeah, we sucked
for a long time.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, yeah, go back to when we were good.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
Other than that, a pretty good Halloween weekend. Hopefully that
wasn't the Steelers costume. Hopefully this is there our dunity.
But I have to say, as much as that Steeler
game pleased me yesterday, I don't think I've ever enjoyed
a baseball game more than Game seven of the World Series,

(14:06):
which was the single most entertaining Game seven in baseball
history as far as I'm concerned. All Right, well, maybe
if you were at Forbes Field in nineteen sixty, but
in our lifetime, every single play in that game was
a highlight, and that's how the whole series went. I
hate that the Dodgers won, but the fact that Yamamota

(14:28):
did that, my god, I was as incredulous as you
hear my voice now. The entire game, I was annoying people.
I'm like, can you guys believe we're watching this? Like
I wanted to make sure that everybody understood this isn't
normal what we're watching right now.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Oh the cats in the bottom of the ninth inning,
I mean the force out at home.

Speaker 7 (14:48):
I mean IKF could have won the World Series.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Don't slide, don't slide. If he doesn't slide, he's in
he had on his foot.

Speaker 6 (14:59):
And the fact that they got those performances that the
night after he pitched, they bring Yamamoto back out.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
It goes extra innings. Good lord.

Speaker 6 (15:08):
I mean they almost run into each other in the
outfield to give the Jays the World Series.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Just that kid Yamamoto is tiny too.

Speaker 7 (15:17):
Have you seen, like seen him next to other people
because he's only standing on this mound.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
So I had no idea.

Speaker 7 (15:23):
He's like the small Asian guy in Ocean's eleven where
they can just like put him places diabolical.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
I like when he's in the in the dugout and
he's just doing form.

Speaker 6 (15:33):
He's doing his pitching form without a ball in between innings,
Like I should start doing that, Like in the studio
on the microphone, be like, what.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Is grabbing the mic?

Speaker 6 (15:45):
And yeah, I'm Yamamoto.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
Egg Why does he have two microphones?

Speaker 6 (15:53):
Skio Michael beating in a little bit abby, What what's
going on that we need to know before we got
four or five minutes here.

Speaker 11 (16:01):
Well, I will tell you one thing that you should know.

Speaker 12 (16:04):
If you use YouTube to watch Monday night football, you're
gonna have a little bit of an issue. Tonight, YouTube
TV remove Disney stations, including ESPN, from its streaming service
after the two sides failed to reach.

Speaker 11 (16:17):
A new agreement.

Speaker 12 (16:18):
So the Google owned YouTube tv announced late Thursday night
that it's contract with Disney expired without negotiating a new deal.
So they threatened a blackout as a negotiating tactic to
force deal terms that would raise prices on customers. So
YouTube tv said it's going to offer customers a twenty
dollars credit if they don't carry Disney content for an

(16:39):
extended period of time. So read that as you might
not be able to see the Cowboys I think Cardinals
game tonight for Monday Night football, but you'll get a
credit if you get blacked out from that game. If
YouTube tv is like your only way of watching wow game,
why But just be aware that that is still ongoing
and they have not resolved that there's a possibility they

(16:59):
might get that done for the game tonight.

Speaker 6 (17:00):
But I heard it's happening because ESPN wants to launch
their own app now, and they want to make all
existing contracts laps so that they can force people to
go through their app. This is the problem. I love
YouTube TV. I don't know if you guys use it.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
I have used it.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
Yeah, so my brother has it, and every time I'm
at his place, I'm like, I want to change this
so bad. But the only reason I don't is because
Penguin's Pirates. Right now, Sportsnet Pittsburgh has an app, but
it's jan It doesn't like now. I would just do
that and get rid of it. I don't want to
pay for the billion cable channels I'm not using. Like

(17:44):
the music choice channels on my cable. Every time I
see them and infuriates me, like what the hell? And
then I'll go over my mom's house and she'll be
listening to one of them. They'll be like cloudy Jazz.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Something like that. Let me get a yule log on.

Speaker 6 (18:03):
I'm like, Mom, you are the only person that listens
to the music choice channels on cable. She's like, I
just like it. Just some change, you know. They have
good variety.

Speaker 7 (18:12):
No, But to your point, I'm spending like damn near
three hundred dollars a month for a cable that I
don't watch.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't want to sit in front of my television
with my phone.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
Like every good American. Bill, I sit in front of
my TV.

Speaker 6 (18:27):
I watch an app, not the cable unless I'm watching sports.
Otherwise there's a streaming app and I'm on the Internet.

Speaker 7 (18:34):
I just want to like blend on other people's subscriptions.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Do a lot of people do that? Just give me
your password, just.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
Like I still got a buddy using mind and once
in a while he's like, hey, man, can you tell
me what the confirmation code is?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Because I just had to sign back in. They made
me sign back in. I'm like, are you ever getting
just kidd here? He said, Why would I would? I seriously?

Speaker 6 (18:57):
Yeah, Gardell used his Apple out at the house, our
family's house up in Erie and forgot to log out.
It did log out, so I had that forever, and
then I just like filled it with a bunch of
weird movies so that it was in his log so
that when Patty opened it.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
Bill, can we have a talk?

Speaker 12 (19:15):
I will say, not a commercial, but Hulu has a
live TV version. So I have Hulu and I get
to watch like, you know, the shows.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
In the movies, Roku says that to you.

Speaker 12 (19:25):
Then it has live TV on it, so I have
like a decent amount of channels. But then I have
the Sportsnet app, and then I have like Criterion and
then a couple other things. But I don't do the
YouTube TV thing kind of for the same reason that
you don't, but I generally get access to the things
I want to have.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Streaming is just creating another cable, it really is.

Speaker 11 (19:47):
It's an a la carte cable. It's very, very frustrating.

Speaker 7 (19:50):
And then with the amount of like, isn't Hulu affiliated
with NBC or it was with Disney something?

Speaker 12 (19:57):
Okay, it was with Disney And that was also a
confusing thing too. And it might be Disney. I just
assume there's one guy that owns everything. So this is
also confusing to me with the Disney thing, because at
one point I was getting kicked out of my Hulu
login because it was like, you now have to have
a Disney password, and I'm like, I give.

Speaker 11 (20:17):
Up, I give up. I don't know what any of
my passwords are.

Speaker 7 (20:21):
It's like all of these billionaires are all like now
wearing like those terrible half jerseys where they used to
be this, and now we're this, and we're just trying
to reconfigure what we already had. Networks are gonna line
up over here. Disney's buying everything because Disney owns ESPN.

Speaker 6 (20:39):
Yeah, yeah, I hate it it.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Hey, password, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (20:48):
I don't know any passwords. I'm like, I just stare
at my face and help my face. It lets me
in because of my face. I just log it on
my phone and then try to change it on the TV. Yeah,
shosh your face. But I did this in Bill. I
don't know if you've had this issue when you put
glasses on. If you do a face ID with your
glasses on, and then I don't know, you buy a

(21:10):
different pair of glasses.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
It's like, that's not you. That's Superman talking about it's me.
That's not you. It is me.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
Try it again, still not you.

Speaker 7 (21:24):
Yeah, you have to put on the disguise to get
into your place.

Speaker 6 (21:27):
Yeah, just hold on, you pull up Dracula teeth. Mike's
got your sports. When we come back. Full report on
yesterday's huge win for the Steelers over the Indianapolis Cola

Speaker 6 (22:08):
Mike Persuda with your sports right now here on the
DV Morning Show. And I was listening to you on
the pre on the postgame show pre and postgame, to
be honest, But on the postgame show yesterday, the tenor
of the calls a little different than they've been the
last couple of weeks. Glimmers of hope now that all
may not be lost.

Speaker 8 (22:25):
Well, I gotta I gotta kick out of the postgame show,
as I always do. First thing I did was credit
Charlie because he predicted Steelers twenty eight, Colts twenty seven,
Oh wow, And I said, wow, you called the shot flowers.
Flowers to you, you said we're gonna win. The whole
world thought they were gonna lose. And then the first call,
I knew they were gonna win. Second call, I knew
never win.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Okay, I guess it was just me.

Speaker 8 (22:48):
You know, I was on an island thinking the Colts
were gonna score a total points and win the game.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
But they did not.

Speaker 8 (22:55):
Sports that are brought to you by Bridgeville applied to
Steelers were better than the on Sunday at Actresser Stadium,
but they may have actually won the game. In the
days leading up to Pittsburgh twenty seven, Indianapolis twenty through
their response to a collapse against the Packers the previous week.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Here's Mike Tomlin.

Speaker 16 (23:13):
It was a tough week, but we certainly deserved it
based on the last performers. I like the way the
guys absorbed it, smiled in the face of it, and
prepared and waited for the next opportunity.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
That's the National Football League, man.

Speaker 16 (23:26):
You get one shout about every seven days, and sometimes
you gotta wear it.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
We certainly were it this week.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
Did anybody else read into his demeanor after the game
as relief and.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Like, how could he not be relieved?

Speaker 6 (23:43):
One time my dog got stomped by a deer and
then ran behind me and was like, okay, all right,
let's get out of here. And that's what you remind
me of yesterday, is like, this could have been bad.
Thank God, because if they lose that game the way
that we thought they were gonna lose that game yesterday, Mike,
they got booed up the field in the first quarter,

(24:04):
this would have been a loud week in Pittsburgh for
Mike Tomlin, you know.

Speaker 8 (24:07):
And another reason they didn't lose it was they accepted
where they were, which was in a really bad spot
and they had played really poorly against Green Bay in
the second half and poorly threw out against Cincinnati defensively,
and they had to fix that. That emotional reckoning, recovery
and rescue even included an address to the team from
safety Jalen Ramsey, one that even resonated with twenty one

(24:31):
year VET and four time MVP Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 17 (24:35):
I noticed that something kind of changed last night when
Jalen spoke. And it's not easy to speak in front
of the team, and even when you're a player. He
just it's unnatural and coaches are used to it because
they do every single day, and Mike is fantastic at it.
But Jalen kind of went on and on and had
the attention of the room, and he said some really
really good stuff. I'm not going to get into it
because the fact that it's kind of a you know,

(24:58):
need to know information, but it was meaningful to me
on the offensive side. And I feel like we had
a different energy in the locker room today. Now all week,
I don't pay super tight attention to that side the
ball at all times in practice, but I do feel
like in a locker room pregame there was a different
energy for us, and they played really well.

Speaker 8 (25:19):
A couple things about that, you can't play the team
meeting slash emotional speech card every week because it gets
old and stale, but this was absolutely a time when
they needed to play it. And it also tells me
that the stuff about Cam Hayward saying we didn't have
enough fight, to me, that's the worst thing you could

(25:39):
hear for your teammate, that's your captain.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
He said we didn't have enough fight. Like do you
want to do this?

Speaker 8 (25:44):
You're inten the dog, You're in the dog petting business,
Like fight has to be the absolute assumed first brick
in the house, Like there's gonna be times when you
fight your ass off and still lose.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
If you don't fight, you have no change none.

Speaker 8 (26:01):
He responded, though, Mike, Oh, they all did. They all did,
and they you know it's funny too. We talked in
a day's leading up to the game. I saw two
potential pass to winning this game. Become the Bengals and
score forty or be the There's Arthur Smith pointed out,
be the Super Bowl winning New York Giants over Buffalo
and just hold the ball all day.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
And which is what I thought they were gonna do.
And neither thing happened.

Speaker 8 (26:25):
They just wanted the old fashioned, conventional regular game, kick
your ass away.

Speaker 7 (26:30):
And what's crazy to me about this game, Mike, is
that I don't ever remember it being this grim with
them at the top of the division, like they still.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Have everything they want right in front of them.

Speaker 8 (26:40):
I swear to God that I think that half that
crowd showed up wanting to attack them.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
I did.

Speaker 6 (26:46):
I tweeted that out in the first quarter before they
got booed.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
I tweeted out, it's ugly in here.

Speaker 6 (26:51):
It felt that the the like the crowd, aura had
this anger.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Good screw up.

Speaker 7 (27:00):
Yeah, man, that's a lot a lot of pressure to
play under Colts fans are standing up and sharing as
they went up seven to nothing, and like that stadium.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
I kept saying to my buddy, I'm like, you know,
this might end up being Arthur Smith's team by the
end of the year.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
There was like, this is looking.

Speaker 6 (27:17):
Bad if it goes that way, Like if it continues,
they get thumped by the Colts at home and the
fans are giving funerals for the defense in the parking lot.

Speaker 8 (27:27):
You know, my cousin Dave goes to the games and
he sent me the picture of that casket us. Like
at first I just laughed and thought this is funny.
And you know they had the kneeler dramatic overreactions, so.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
It was really, well, Jesus, really it's that bad. Four
and three, Yeah, there are four and three winning record.
And then there was two or three times like they
win to toss.

Speaker 8 (27:51):
And they take the ball, which they almost never do right,
but they knew they had to score points, right, and.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Then they had a three. Now there's a little more.
John New drops that perfect.

Speaker 8 (28:00):
There was two or three murmurs of booze where it
wasn't like fire Canada bad, but.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
It was audible.

Speaker 8 (28:06):
I'm telling you if you could tell them we're going
that way, the temperature of the room, and they're playing wobbly,
and then all of a sudden, TJ.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Watt turned the tide. I always say they come in bunches.

Speaker 18 (28:18):
So usually I feel like if we have a turnover
in the game, we usually have you know, multiple So
I think he started it off and then we just
kept feeding on from that, kept feeding on energy.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
So we just got to continue to do that. Weekend
week out.

Speaker 8 (28:29):
You want to talk about a game changing play and
maybe a season saving play.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
He needed it.

Speaker 8 (28:35):
They needed it first and ten from the Steelers thirty
eight yard line. They're losing seven to nothing. They've had
the three and out to start the game. They got
suckered on a fake punt that kept the possession going
for Indianapolis.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
That fake punt pissed me off so bad.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
Oh my god, everybody in our section is going watch
out for the fake.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
In our section, they're saying.

Speaker 8 (28:57):
It pants were down, they didn't have. There's two ways
offend to punt. There's your normal punt return team and
then there's what they call punt safe, which was you
basically leave most of the defense out there and then
the return guy's just on his own, like, we're not
returning this, but they're not right pulling a fast one. Well,
they pulled a fast one, yeah, because that was the
that was the regular punt return team.

Speaker 19 (29:18):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (29:18):
But Watt gets a rare one on one and man,
he got doubled and tripled all day yesterday. He got
held I thought a ton and he beat Brayden Smith.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
God, he bent the under time continuum.

Speaker 8 (29:29):
Yeah, and then just got his left hand in and
swatted the ball in left hand and then recovered it,
I mean, strip sack, fumble recovery, and then off they went.

Speaker 6 (29:37):
I wonder if he practices like his dexterity, Like, I
wonder if he dribbles a basketball left handed a lot
and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
His bend on that play was insane.

Speaker 6 (29:46):
Because the way he uses his left hand, it looks
like it's his dominant hand.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (29:50):
To Bill's point, that would you say, Matrix, Yeah, yeah,
I don't know you could do that with your body.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
Harrison used to do that, Harrison regular, but he was shorter.
He was like little natural lean into that kind of approach. Yeah,
that was a phenomenal play. Let me, uh do a
quick break We're gonna come back. Tim Benz will join
us with more Steeler talk. Abby's got your News at

Speaker 21 (30:48):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Hold on?

Speaker 6 (30:49):
Sorry sorry sorry Tim, No, Now, I got you. Now,
how are you? Yes, that's right, Yes, that one's on
our bat.

Speaker 21 (30:58):
Yeah, everything's good about you.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
Well, I mean, for the last forty minutes or so,
we've just kind of been not shocked, but surprised by
how things went yesterday. Given the amount of injuries the
defense had and it's particularly in the second area, and
the way things have gone for them defensively the last
couple of weeks, there was absolutely no reason to have

(31:20):
expectation that they would get the performance they did out
of that defense yesterday. I think that was Mike Tomlin
was feeling pretty good after that one, but.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
I think Cam Hayward and TJ.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
Watt might have felt even better, both with monster performances.
After being called out by the fan base all week,
they delivered a big time defensive effort that enabled the
offense to have a short field virtually the entire game
to him.

Speaker 21 (31:47):
And rightfully so, I think the criticism.

Speaker 19 (31:49):
Was valid for how they played this year, especially with
the hype that they created for themselves and money that
they demanded in the offseason.

Speaker 21 (31:57):
So I think every bit of criticism was valid.

Speaker 19 (32:01):
I think the way they responded was significant, and I
think part of the reason people were right and their
criticism was there was some stubbornness about how they've gone
about their business defensively, not wanting to change, thinking they
had all the answers when all they were doing was
creating questions, and they varied some things up. You know,

(32:21):
you actually saw different looks from the linebackers yesterday. There
were times where there were three linebackers out there and
they almost looked like they were playing a four to
three look it was. It was different, different and interesting,
and I think it surprised the Colts. And you know,
you talked about the surprise factor of everybody in Pittsburgh
who assumed this is going to be a loss based
on the way that they've played in recent weeks. You know,

(32:43):
we're all trying to figure out a path to if
they were going to surprise, what was that path going
to be? And I said numerous times that they're going
to have to recreate what happened against New England and
you know, kind of get to a place where they
won this game because they just kept taking the ball
away or was given to them, and Daniel Jones turned

(33:05):
into a pumpkin and the Steelers took all of his.

Speaker 21 (33:08):
Candy on Halloween weekend. That's that's the only way to say.

Speaker 19 (33:10):
They made him revert back to the Danny dimes we
remember from New York Giants days.

Speaker 6 (33:18):
Do you think the offense yesterday was unable to really
get in like rhythms because they were the circumstantial aspect
of what was happening. They were getting the ball on turnovers,
they were I can't remember what the average drive was,
but like scoring drive, I think it was like fifty
yards or something like that. Yesterday they only ended up
with two hundred and twenty five yards offense. I would

(33:39):
have thought we would have leaned on Jalen Warren a
whole lot yesterday. That did not end up happening. He
only had sixteen carries for thirty one yards.

Speaker 19 (33:49):
Yeah, that happened in the second half of last week's
game against Green Bay too.

Speaker 21 (33:53):
I thought he was really good in the red zone.
I think he's really good at delivering.

Speaker 19 (33:58):
Punishment and find guys to run into. You know, I
thought he was good when he needed to be yesterday.
But yes, it was a very weird game to analyze
from an offensive point of view because of the circumstances where,
the where and when the turnovers happened. And I'm okay
with that. You know, like all eyes were on the
defense anyway. Most eyes are on the defense in the

(34:19):
sense that how bad is it gonna be where this
spiraling unit goes up against the best offensive unit in football?
And the offense going in this game was largely an
afterthought because the presumption was, to your guy's previous point
that you were talking about during Mike's sportscast, they were.

Speaker 21 (34:35):
Gonna do one of two things.

Speaker 19 (34:36):
They were either gonna try to hold onto the ball
short in the game and if they were gonna lose,
it was only gonna be twenty one to ten, or
they were gonna try to get in a shootout and
just not do it as well as Indianapolis, Like, I
don't think there's as much on the offense, So as
a result, I just don't think there's been a ton
of analysis because the defensive performance was so stark, where
they got back to batting the ball down at the

(34:57):
line of scrimmage, they got back to clouding the passing lanes,
sacking the quarterback and creating turnovers, and it was so
refreshing to.

Speaker 6 (35:04):
See, well, they needed a defensive front to have a
big game to take pressure off of a really ramshackle
secondary in the wake of all of those injuries. But
it kind of reminded me of like, remember when they
closed the four pit tunnel and everyone's.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Like, oh my god, this is going to be a disaster.

Speaker 6 (35:18):
We have a whole summer with no four pit tunnel,
and then they routed everyone around and somehow it worked
better than when the tunnel is open.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
It was amazing.

Speaker 8 (35:27):
They were down to no free safeties, so Ramsey had
to play free safety free safety, and it looked better.
Dougart played strong safety and the only shit because he
can't play free Brandon Eckles was the nickel. And the
only change in the secondary was when Slay went out
a couple of times and then they had.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
To put Pierre in. It looked better, but it was.
It was the same five guys basically.

Speaker 21 (35:50):
Well maybe maybe necessity is the mother of inventions. Got
a lot of front there, so.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
For to miscommunicate, you have the same job every play.

Speaker 6 (35:58):
Not only that, but it brought that up about the
inside linebackers too, same thing.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, although they're not having Cole Holcom Was that help?

Speaker 8 (36:06):
I thought that the thing Tim just mentioned when they
went three at one time, that was a real curveball, and.

Speaker 19 (36:13):
It wasn't any inside linebackers or was outside linebackers.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
It's like Peton Wilson the cover guy.

Speaker 8 (36:20):
Yeah, Peton Wilson could be a cover guy, Harrison could
be a run thumper, and Patrick Queen could just run
around and do what Patrick Queen does. And you know
they're throw up at the line of scrimmage, getting in
gaps and giving them a bunch of goofy looks. Pre
snapped that they had no intention, but.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
Harrison had Taylor in the backfield on that one that
ended up going to Then he always hit, He was
always a thumper.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
I mean he still played teams well, so Peyton Wilson
you need second.

Speaker 19 (36:47):
The secondary was good too, in so far as I think,
like what you said, Mike, they had guys in spots
where they are probably better suited now.

Speaker 21 (36:57):
Like I just think Ramsey's better at safety. When he's
not covering is a corner.

Speaker 19 (37:02):
It might be time to have much more Beckles and
less of Sleigh, you know.

Speaker 6 (37:06):
Like I think everybody in the stadium agrees with you.
Nobody was upset about Sligh going in the ten well
or if he if he remembers it, go on the field.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (37:20):
If you saw that he almost didn't make it onto
the field and they got lucky with a batted ball
on that one.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
That's a backup TV thing. Whether they just.

Speaker 6 (37:30):
To be there, Yeah, they like the back of the
horse in one of those costs that you know, running
out to try and find the find the front of
it to finish the dancing horse routine.

Speaker 19 (37:41):
I thought the batted ball thing was was huge. I mean,
like they that's been a way that they have combated
the quick passing game for years now.

Speaker 21 (37:50):
Like they are proficient. They usually are.

Speaker 19 (37:53):
At knocking balls down the line of scrimmage and it
frustrates quarterbacks.

Speaker 21 (37:57):
It makes them think whether.

Speaker 19 (37:59):
It's just a ticker who Sometimes it makes the ball
come out a little bit slower, and they just didn't do.

Speaker 21 (38:05):
That the last two weeks. There was none of that.

Speaker 19 (38:07):
It wasn't present. I think they just got frustrated not
being able to get there.

Speaker 21 (38:11):
They tried so hard to rush they forgot to do it.
But there were.

Speaker 19 (38:14):
Balls getting knocked down and tipped in the air all
over the place. Yesterday, Cam who was it that Lawyer? No,
Peyton Wilson knocked it up for Sawyer. I think one
or two other ones got hit the line of scrimmage.
Queen might have had one on the blitz, But whatever
the case, it was a constant fence of arms right
in front of Danny Dimes's face, and I think that

(38:35):
got in his head a little bit and it was
a big reason why they were able to do what
they did.

Speaker 7 (38:39):
Another test this week, Tim with the Chargers and I
don't know if they can do it or if they
can coordinate everybody's schedule, but I think it would really
help if we could just have that two thousand and
five Super Bowl defense travel with the team from here
on out.

Speaker 6 (38:52):
Yeah, that was like bringing in Frankie five Angels brothers
to this.

Speaker 5 (38:58):
The courtroom.

Speaker 19 (39:02):
Yeah, there were some other guys that weren't a part
of the festivities yesterday that can maybe make an appearance
in this game instead. You know, like maybe Troy or
Parker or Heath. There's some of the guys who couldn't
make it to this one, maybe they could make it to.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
The next one Arizona. He can get to California.

Speaker 21 (39:20):
Heins was coaching, so he couldn't be there. But yeah,
I thought it was interesting yesterday.

Speaker 19 (39:23):
I up, Mike, if you were down there, you might
have still been on the air for the pregame show.
But they were kind of dotted around the Pitt locker
room and everybody was kind of giving their own speech.
It sounded like I was picking up different conversations here
and there, stumping for various guys from that team in
that era to get in the Hall of Fame. It was,

(39:43):
you know, there was Ben saying something here, there's Jerome
saying something there, and there's Aaron spit over there. Everybody
was stumping for all those guys who were on the
bubble for the Hall of Fame, and that seemed to
be the talking point in the locker room yesterday and
a lot of what you guys are saying, like what
does this team need to do to find itself? And
they found it yesterday against the best offensive team in football,
for sure. But yeah, I think Aaron Rodgers is right.

(40:05):
When you get six turnovers, you want to have a
thirty five or forty two on that board instead of
a twenty seven. But I'll take it based on the
way the past couple of weeks have gone.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
I'll tell you it was pretty fun when they did that.

Speaker 6 (40:15):
I was at I was at the bar at the
stadium and we're waiting in line and all of you know,
all the fans around us, we're all watching, and every
time they'd show a player, someone was like, who can.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Scream their name first?

Speaker 6 (40:27):
And then everyone would go crazy for them, and there'd
be people were like, we didn't know who it was,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Like, wait a minute, who is who is that? Who
is that? And then there was one one or two.

Speaker 6 (40:38):
Yeah, there was a couple of those we could not
come up with with With Creewall.

Speaker 8 (40:42):
That's what I was going too far when you guys
all threw garbage at the TV.

Speaker 6 (40:45):
When when he everyone was like, we forgot he was
on that team Tommy mad Eggs. But when Keyesel, like
when Keyesel and the bus and and Ben came up,
the place went like I was probably with you know,
four or five hundred people in the big scrum waiting
at the party. Everyone just went crazy. It was so

(41:06):
fun just to remember that. And things were starting to
go okay for the Steelers in the game at that point.
You know, if they would have showed those people after
the first quarter, I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Right now, not good. It was. Didn't Fanica start the
terrible down twirl?

Speaker 6 (41:19):
Yes, he was a big red did the terrible towel
twirl and he looked great.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Casey Hampton got a big.

Speaker 21 (41:24):
Pot, big stack always gets a big pop. Yeah, no
doubt about it. It was great. I talked to him
about the Willie Parker.

Speaker 19 (41:33):
Run yesterday and uh he diagrammed it as if it
had happened six seconds before.

Speaker 21 (41:38):
We walked in.

Speaker 13 (41:40):
We talked about it.

Speaker 21 (41:42):
Ken wizen Hunt and Jeff Hardings talked about that. It
was good seeing Wiz. I was like Ken wizen Hunt
and it's good catching up for him too.

Speaker 6 (41:50):
Was Mike Malarkey there or was that wizen Hunt that
was weird that?

Speaker 5 (41:54):
Yeah, we were trying to figure relate.

Speaker 19 (41:56):
Was in uh, San Francisco by then San Francis, Buffalo
something like that or remember what?

Speaker 21 (42:02):
But the Wiz went to Wiz went to Arizona, okay,
right right right? Yeah, but no, Malarkey wasn't there. LAbau
was there, sella.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 23 (43:10):
The Steelers defense paved the way to the team's twenty
seven to twenty victory over the Indianapolis Colts in their
number one offense Sunday afternoon at Akroscher Stadium. The defense
was all over Colts quarterback Daniel Jones, sacking him five times,
hitting him six more times, and picking him off three times.
The Steelers got off to a slow start in the game,
and the Colts had a seven to nothing lead and
were driving in the second quarter, threatening to add on.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
But then TJ.

Speaker 23 (43:31):
Watts struck to provide the jolt that the team needed,
strip sacking Daniel Jones and recovering the fumble. The Steelers
offense would capitalize on the ensuing drive to tie the game,
and the team got rolling from there. Inside linebacker Peyton
Wilson had a monster day on that Steelers defense, racking
up fourteen total tackles, which not only led the Steelers
but was the most in the entire game, and he
picked off Daniel Jones for one of the three interceptions

(43:53):
thrown by Jones on the day. Outside linebacker Jack Sawyer
and cornerback Joey Porter Junior were the recipients of the
other two Jones picks, both of those gentlemen's first of
the season and Sawyer's first interception of his career. The
splash plays returning to the Steelers defense and limiting the
NFL's leading rusher, Jonathan Taylor to just forty five yards
on fourteen carries, were the main factors in the Steelers'

(44:13):
victory and improving to five and three on the season.

end zone, his teammates behind him.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
To celebrate as the Steelers.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Now with a turnover. How many macs one for the
other thumb six on.

Speaker 6 (45:03):
The day they ended up yesterday celebrating the Super Bowl
forty team at halftime and Joey Porter Junior's father, Joey
Porter Senior in attendance to see his son bring that
one down.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (45:17):
And that was a classic Joey Porter junior game to me,
had like.

Speaker 7 (45:22):
Some penalties, three or four knockdowns, two penalties and an interception.

Speaker 6 (45:26):
Mostly good. He costs you once in a while. I'd
like to see him getting better. He's become a better tackler, definitely,
you know. So, I think there's a lot of people
who are Bailey or have bailed on Joey Porter Junior
in terms of they thought he was going to be
an immediate like you know, open and adwater and you're
good to go. And he's been a little more of

(45:47):
a work in progress towards getting to I don't want
to say elite, but a really good cover corner, right.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
But he can get he could definitely be elite.

Speaker 7 (45:56):
Think he's there yet, No, No, I think because of
just his technique, he can't keep his hands off of guys.
He's he's with them stride for stride and then you
saw it yesterday.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
That's part of why that pass rustaurant home.

Speaker 6 (46:09):
There's a couple of times where he'll block and knock
a pass down where it just seems like, why didn't
you catch it?

Speaker 7 (46:17):
You know, like it looks like he's a gas because
his other hand is grabbing the guy.

Speaker 6 (46:22):
That's exactly right. It's like, well, because my right hand,
my right hand is on his gooch, I got a
gucca with this hand. This is my gucin hand.

Speaker 9 (46:32):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (46:33):
Steelers with a big win over the Colts yesterday, and
the town is I'll tell you what, it's gonna be
a nice, fun week in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
I thought it was going to be a gloomy week.

Speaker 6 (46:41):
I I started to get depressed about the whole week
in the first quarter because of the way that crowd
felt it was ugly.

Speaker 7 (46:49):
Well, I mean just think about even leading up to
that game, like you just kind of got.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Your ass kicked the last two games home.

Speaker 7 (46:56):
Now you're you're you're trying to like lick your wounds,
and here comes the best offense in the NFL that
does everything that ails you really well, like best in
the league type stuff. And they don't turn the ball over,
Like going into that game yesterday, I think they had
four turnovers on the season.

Speaker 6 (47:14):
Yeah, they did, and six against the Steelers. Yeah, so
it was pretty incredible. Steelers get the much needed twenty
seven to twenty victory.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
They are five and three now.

Speaker 6 (47:26):
Everyone else in the AFC North has a losing record,
but look out, because here comes to Baltimore Ravens and
things are gonna get tough. Steelers head out to California
to take on the Los Angeles Chargers justin Herbert in
Company Sunday Night Football, and that win, as we were
saying earlier, definitely ensures that there'll be a whole lot
more terrible towels in a tendancy.

Speaker 5 (47:46):
Once people feel like there's.

Speaker 6 (47:47):
A little bit more hope, you know, they'll make the
trek to Los Angeles from parts all over. If we
learned anything in Dublin. That means all over the world,
all over the world, and being that close to Mexico,
you can expect a whole lot. Although I don't know,
maybe maybe they're thinking, we'll wait till things called down
over there.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Wait, you know what, maybe we watched.

Speaker 6 (48:09):
This game at a bar, you know, in Tijuana up
to the border and wave.

Speaker 7 (48:14):
It is remarkable, though, how many people travel from far
distances to go to these games. Like I was talking
to people at the tailgate yesterday, a father and daughter
duo who drove here from Idaho, first time I ever
seeing a game, and I said, okay, Steelers fans, how

(48:34):
did this happen?

Speaker 6 (48:35):
Like?

Speaker 7 (48:36):
And the dad was like, whoa, I grew up in
the seventies. And I'm like, okay, that's that sense. That's
the main answer that I get with generational Steeler fans
from far away.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Either that or they moved to someplace like that.

Speaker 5 (48:49):
Let's just say they're from Boise.

Speaker 7 (48:51):
Just it is almost it's damn near a twenty hour drive,
if not more.

Speaker 6 (48:56):
Thirty one hours from Boise to Pittsburgh. Yeah, now thirty
of that is at the Squirrel Hill Tunnel.

Speaker 7 (49:02):
But yeah, most of that is game day traffic, but
still like to just and he had never been to
a game before.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
That was his and her first game.

Speaker 5 (49:13):
That had to be kind of a wonderland for them.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
It was really cool.

Speaker 6 (49:16):
I had Colts fans in front of me and it
was like, you, it's hard to hate Colts fans.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
But also I was like, sit down.

Speaker 6 (49:23):
They stood up every time there was a big play,
and I wanted to be like, sit.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Your asswn pleat you know you can't, you know.

Speaker 6 (49:31):
It was just like mae, I got to stand to
They're just being fans. I guess what if.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
You done it?

Speaker 7 (49:35):
Did it as judge Jimbo Brown Town.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
We don't stand here.

Speaker 5 (49:44):
I'm sorry, nice lady.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
It's two ladies.

Speaker 7 (49:50):
What did you? What did you think of that? Those
fans in general, I mean, they.

Speaker 5 (49:54):
Already were pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (49:56):
They also they also could not have been more bummed
out because it really did look like it was headed
the way everyone thought that game was gonna unfold in
the first quarter and that they were prevented from scoring
again just because of a turnover.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
That was kind of a fluke, right.

Speaker 6 (50:12):
So after the first quarter the muffed punt, yes, and
they're like, oh, hey, well, just the TJ's trip sack. Right,
that kind of changed the trajectory there totally. But it
really looked like they like the fake.

Speaker 5 (50:27):
Punt that they had.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yeah, it just was like, oh my god, this is
gonna be so bad.

Speaker 6 (50:31):
Steelers were having trouble getting people on defense, there was
personnel changes, problems. They looked really slappy for portions of
that first quarter. So those fans were feeling like.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Win, we're gonna do. Yeah, it's gonna be great.

Speaker 6 (50:45):
And then once the thump started happening from the Steelers defense,
they all got real role quiet, and then that place
went nuts. And I will say one of the loudest
renegades I've ever heard. I bet it was really sixty
six six and sixty seven people in attendance yesterday, and
that renegade as soon as it.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Came on the place, what nuts.

Speaker 6 (51:05):
So for all those people who are like we gotta
be doing Renege like Jersey Jerry, like dude, come on,
stop saying that crap. You know you got to be
in the stadium and experience that and know that, like, yeah,
sometimes it's gonna fall flat, but days like yesterday, it's
a celebration. And if the argument is let's not use
it every game. I can understand that, but it can't

(51:26):
go away. It's it's too much a part of the
culture in that stadium.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
What was the result of Renegade yesterday? Did it work?
I think it did. I mean we were up, but yeah,
but usually when they played I think it was a
teacher ship sack. No, one of the sacks came in
after that.

Speaker 11 (51:47):
There was a sack fumble with like eight minutes to go.

Speaker 6 (51:51):
Well, maybe it was that the one Harmon jumped on Smith.
I thought, yeah, well Highsmith caused the fumble that Harmon
jumped on it.

Speaker 5 (51:58):
That's the one.

Speaker 6 (51:58):
Okay, uh so yeah, it worked all right, But they
but their fans were It was kind of one of
those well we got the experience. We're still seven and two.
You know, Pittsburgh's not that far of a drive. We
got to do a Pittsburgh game. You know, this is
a destination town for those people. Yeah, yeah, like Green Bay.
Pittsburgh and Green Bay are destination.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Towns for these fans. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (52:20):
They showed up to stay a e and there was
two fans. I tweeted out this picture them. One was
like a dragon ball Z character was like blue hair
the other one was like a clown of some sort,
and I came up and I said, can I take
your guys picture? And took their picture and then I
said what's your deal? And the clown was like because

(52:42):
the other one didn't talk because I guess they were
just like in character, and the other one was like, oh,
we're we're Colts fans. I was like, yeah, I got
that part. What else is going on? What do you think?
I didn't know what team you were rooting for?

Speaker 2 (53:01):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (53:02):
I did see some rude Colts fans, which surprised me
because I equate them with like Green Bay, you know,
and the green Bay fans. I think I told you
I saw a green Bay fan, like a Steeler fan
trying to kind of start a little bit of a
fight with a green.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
Bay fan before that game over a chair, you know, like.

Speaker 6 (53:19):
Is anybody sitting here type thing, and the Steeler fan
was just clearly trying to start a fight with the guy,
and the Packer fan was like, oh no, no, it's fine, No,
you can have it. And then the guy's still trying
to drag him into it, and he goes, oh, no,
worries over here, You're good Okay, bye bye, you know,
and I'm like, God, they really live up to their reputation.
The Colts fans were there's a couple of them I
saw that were being a little uh i'll say, rude

(53:41):
to the staff at Acasure Stadium. Yeah, kind of pushing
through to get in, you know, with their tickets and
stuff and kind of giving them guff.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
I didn't like that.

Speaker 6 (53:49):
I didn't like that Bill and that took it personally.

Speaker 11 (53:53):
But what did you think about?

Speaker 12 (53:54):
Like just what guy was kind of saying on Friday
too that the cold Colts have kind of had advantageous
schedules so far being seven and one, that maybe they
thought that they were better than they were.

Speaker 6 (54:06):
Well, I think that the Steelers had the same situation.
I mean our four r five and three. You know,
the Jets losing to the Bengals is just gonna that
was toughaunt us because if we were six and two
right now, if he's.

Speaker 7 (54:20):
Bugaboo of the division away game on Thursday night, it's
the bugaboo of Joe Flacco being like Mike Tomlins nightmare.

Speaker 6 (54:30):
But the Colts record leaning up to this nonwithstanding, I mean,
but they did.

Speaker 7 (54:34):
Have five home games, and I think that that's what
I be saying, And what guy was kind of saying,
like they've played five of their games at.

Speaker 6 (54:40):
Home and only one outdoor and it was in Tennessee
on an eighty four degree sunny day.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
Beautiful perfect had to contend with anyway.

Speaker 12 (54:49):
Was like the Dolphins, you beat the Titans twice, like cool?

Speaker 5 (54:54):
Yeah, yeah, did you see our schedule?

Speaker 2 (54:56):
You know, well, our schedule was I can' that's top
fairly easier side.

Speaker 12 (55:02):
It was on the easier side. But at the same time,
there's seven and one. I don't know that there was
a big like okay, but.

Speaker 11 (55:07):
Who'd you bet?

Speaker 6 (55:08):
Did you see like the Patriots schedule coming up, the
Raven schedule coming up, cakewalk cake Like, it is not
going to be easy for the Steelers to keep pace.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Here.

Speaker 6 (55:17):
Michael had more on the game coming up at the
bottom of the hour, Jerry Doulac. We also have our
top five plays of the game, Rob King in the
nine o'clock hour, and Abby's got a news update for you.

Speaker 12 (55:27):
Now, what's up is this hour brought to you by
Keystone Basement system swat Basement, Keystone Basementsystems dot Com. Mostly
Sunny Today and Hi a fifty seven. Heidi Klum never
fails to go all out for her annual Halloween party.
This year was no exception. She spent ten hours preparing
for her final reveal, and this year she transformed into
Medusa with fangs and mechanical snakes in her hair, and

(55:51):
she had the full body of a snake. And her
husband went as a warrior who was turned to stone.
But we're kind of going through like the round robin
here of every buddy who you know, halloweened. There's a
lot of innocuous ones, but we're gonna jump straight ahead
to perhaps the most offensive Halloween costume. And I think
this one's kind of hard to argue with because it

(56:12):
stands out.

Speaker 11 (56:13):
Julia Fox. She went as a bloodied Jackie.

Speaker 6 (56:20):
Oh no, she did the Jackie Onassis outfit from the
car at Daily Plaza with JFK's brains blown all over
her dress.

Speaker 2 (56:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (56:34):
Not a great idea.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
Yes, oh my god, that is horrible taste.

Speaker 11 (56:39):
Horrible taste. So the thing that she did after the
fact was she tried to say that.

Speaker 12 (56:47):
It was a statement the resilience of women, and she
wrote like this really academic esque post about how you know,
one of the things that Jack he said was I
want them to see what they did, and you know
that's why she left the dress on and all this stuff.
But in reality, when she was on the red carpet,

(57:09):
somebody asked her what she was going as, and she said,
I'm going as a woman who's about to get that check.
So what as a little revisionist history she decided to
make again, the more academic.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
She's such an idiot.

Speaker 7 (57:29):
Yeah, if you have to make an academic statement about
your costume, it sucks.

Speaker 11 (57:34):
Fucks. The funniest costume.

Speaker 6 (57:37):
By the way, the Kennedy family not happy about that.
They issued a statement basically, hey, you're a disgusting pig.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
Yeah, yeah, what the hell would you do that?

Speaker 7 (57:47):
And still like, I don't know, I mean, that's just
that's that's horrible. Kanye is probably like, all right, I'm
back in to do stuff like that and turn me.

Speaker 6 (57:58):
Right on, remember me.

Speaker 12 (58:02):
The funniest costume I think that I see here is Lizzo,
who went as a mozzarella stick from.

Speaker 5 (58:08):
Chilling You are you wait a minute, she a mozzarella.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
I gotta see that. At first, I thought you were
gonna say.

Speaker 6 (58:19):
Someone went as Lizzo and I'm like, that's problematic, probably,
And then you said Lizzo's wearing the costume.

Speaker 5 (58:24):
I did not picture mozzarella stick how how I don't know.

Speaker 7 (58:29):
She had its sideways like I thought it would be.
At first, I thought it would just she would be
in like a basket of Maazi sticks. But it's just
like almost like a an air Yeah, like, oh my god,
she's drippy cheese. And then the mozzarella, like the breaded

(58:50):
part looks like airplane wings.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
She went on ozempic at the beginning of the year,
and she still.

Speaker 6 (59:00):
It's so funny to be She had a plate of
motsticks and she's like eating them and posing. Yeah, oh
my god, you're just human cheese. Yeah, God, bless Lizza.
I gotta tell you, though, Lizzo, the Olympics working. I mean,
it's got some more work to do, but it's it's working.

Speaker 7 (59:17):
I mean, but isn't like eating yesticks counterproductive?

Speaker 5 (59:23):
Yeah, it's making it work harder.

Speaker 6 (59:25):
Last year, she dreamt as she dressed as Liz Ozempek
Liz Ozampek. So this year, I don't know, motstick she
looks like she smokes monzerella sticks.

Speaker 11 (59:38):
Did you guys see any costumes you liked this year.

Speaker 5 (59:41):
I kind of had a non Halloween this year. Nothing really.

Speaker 7 (59:45):
I walked around with, you know, my sister and her kids,
because they're still of the age where they dress up
and go around the neighborhood. And my niece dressed up
as half of her friends were lifeguards and half of
her friends were sh and they all walked around together
in this big group. I thought that was pretty creative
and fun.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
I did.

Speaker 5 (01:00:05):
I did that reminded me.

Speaker 6 (01:00:07):
I did see a group of young kids, like all boys,
who are about twelve, okay, and they all dressed up
as penguins, and they stayed huddled together and walked around
like actual penguins, as actual peng No, actual penguins, that's adorable.
And they stayed really close and they waddled around and
they went penguin, penguin, penguin, penge, penguin like that the

(01:00:29):
whole time. And they were just at that age where
they're like they thought what they were doing was really
really funny, you know, And I was like, Oh, those
guys are just gonna be so horny in about a year.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
They're never going to do anything like this. They're still
in the age of like, oh, we can just go.

Speaker 6 (01:00:45):
Do like silly things that make us laugh, Like yeah,
well I'll enjoy it, buddy, it's all gonna the zits
are coming and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
Rags ruined happen.

Speaker 6 (01:01:01):
They were really funny strikes, like they were getting such
a kick out of doing the wattle together.

Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
I thought that that was like a super fun and
what can I like a mustache you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Know what I mean, like like a Sydney Crosby mustache.

Speaker 5 (01:01:13):
Totally, yeah, I'm into it.

Speaker 12 (01:01:16):
The funniest thing I saw in the neighborhood was the
Lora axe, just because it's a full body like like
like costume and there's a huge belly. There's a huge belly,
which Eadie got a kick out of two and I
was like, dude, I will do that with you next year.
I'm I'm I'm kind of tired of her turning us
into anime characters that are cute.

Speaker 5 (01:01:35):
I'm like, can we do something I saw the post. Yeah,
I thought we did good, really good.

Speaker 12 (01:01:41):
But I I I'm at the point where I'm like,
can we be something ugly and fat next year? Like
that would be so funny and I'm ready for it.
But my favorite costume that I saw. Friends of mine
did the self titled Black Sabbath album cover.

Speaker 26 (01:01:57):
That is so cool where the husband did the painting
of the back of the cottage and the trees, and
then the wife was just in a black cloak with
her hair down and just was walking with like, you know,
looking kind of Solomon.

Speaker 11 (01:02:11):
So they just walked together as the cover of the
Black sile Of album and I'm like, love it.

Speaker 6 (01:02:19):
Way better than when I tried to do the Simon
and Garfunkle album.

Speaker 11 (01:02:22):
I think the positioning was wrong. Yeah, he was too
high on your head. It looked like he was mounting
you instead of walking behind.

Speaker 5 (01:02:32):
Garfuncle.

Speaker 11 (01:02:34):
It's the little the Hello Darkness my old friend.

Speaker 7 (01:02:39):
I don't know because my girlfriend's daughter was also the
Lorax and oh it's so good. She sent me the
picture and I'm like, I'm laughing hysterically. That must have
been a viral costume make choice this year, because I
was like, that movie came out a long time ago,
but the kids are doing it this year and it's fun.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
I miss those fun days.

Speaker 14 (01:03:01):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Both my girls went to parties.

Speaker 7 (01:03:03):
Yeah, and it's just you know, they're all doing like whatever,
like costume but kind of sexy, and it's it's it's
not cool.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
It's not sexy. It's horrible. It's bad taste and it
needs to stop. I feel bad for you. It's just
gonna get. No, it's it's good. No, it's not going
to go. It's not getting it's worse.

Speaker 6 (01:03:28):
I hope it's cold.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Is worse.

Speaker 11 (01:03:30):
You have to wear a coat.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
It was kind of cold on Friday night.

Speaker 11 (01:03:34):
It was, but it wasn't cold enough.

Steelers twenty seven, Colts twenty.

Speaker 8 (01:05:17):
Sports that is are brought to you by Bridgeville applies
to Steelers temporarily washed the stink off with the resounding
victory of the high flying Colts yesterday, twenty seven to
twenty statement game that I didn't think was as close
as the final score might indicate. It was the latest
reminder delivered by the football gods that in the NFL,
what happens on one Sunday ain't necessarily happen in the next.

Speaker 16 (01:05:42):
This is the fine line between drink and wine and
squashing grapes in this business. It's nothing dramatic, you know,
it's really not. And that's why we respected so much.
A couple plays here and there, it might have been
different last week. We don't give a fifth nine yard
ball to thirty three yard ball. We don't let them
convert on fourth to one in the flat, for example,

(01:06:04):
in the third quarter. That's that's football at this level.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
You know, it kind of is.

Speaker 8 (01:06:11):
And the Lions would agree, and the Packers would and
you see, the Bengals would definitely agree. You see these
kind of games every Sunday. I mean, Atlanta was an
extra point away from taking New England to overtime. It's
just it's usually close, and it's almost always unpredictable.

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
Jags and the Raiders ot two point conversion two.

Speaker 6 (01:06:39):
Yeah, I mean that wasn't a huge spratt or anything
to Okay, teams point being that close games abound in
the NFL.

Speaker 8 (01:06:45):
They do, and and good teams get beat by bad teams,
and it's it's it's a fact of NFL life.

Speaker 5 (01:06:52):
That's the larger point you're making. Yes, the Steelers able
to be on the right side.

Speaker 6 (01:06:56):
Yes, that's what I don't like about this analogies you
paint Pittsburgh is the bat team, you know what I mean,
It's like.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
We're the crap team in this scenario.

Speaker 8 (01:07:04):
But everybody's one. I mean, I was getting text during
the game. Guardell texted me, how could this be happening?
Like because it does? I mean, yeah, the Colts had
the number one offense and the Steelers at a defense
that gave up nine miles worth of yards in two
games or something. I mean, and yesterday they played they
stopped the run and then they stopped everything else. And

(01:07:26):
what was it, Jalen Ramsey's speech where they tired of
being bad?

Speaker 7 (01:07:31):
Was it the personnel corner that they got backed into
with all the injuries.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Maybe maybe all of the above. I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:07:38):
It's just it's hard, hard to put your thumb on
what is exactly gonna happen.

Speaker 6 (01:07:43):
It could be as simple as you know Merrill's favorite
saying about these instances, never underestimated professional who's been embarrassed,
and the Steeler.

Speaker 8 (01:07:50):
Especially one that's been embarrassed twice in a row. It Oh,
if that wasn't true last.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Year, it's certainly gonna be true this week.

Speaker 6 (01:07:58):
Never undrestmate professional football player has been embarrassed again. Yeah,
and that's where we were with that. I think it
was actually the front seven stepped up in a way.
And by the way, for as much as we've been
hanging the coaches out to dry, I thought that they
came up with a perfect plan yesterday. Given their you know,

(01:08:18):
the lack of resources and the injuries in the secondary.
I think what they were doing with the inside linebackers
and the effort they got out of the front guys
in Harmon and Cam Hayward in particular, that set the
tone for them. I mean, they put so much pressure
on Danny Dimes and that resonated throughout the game. One

(01:08:40):
of my favorite sequences it's the fourth quarter. Steels up
twenty four ten, so they're pretty comfortable. There's eight minutes
and change left. First and ten from the Indianapolis. Not
I didn't right down the yard where it was, but
actually it was the thirty two. Jones hits Toddler Warren

(01:09:01):
little crossing route for nine yards.

Speaker 8 (01:09:04):
Derek Harmon ran him down and you have to tackle.
He rushed the passer and then he turned around off
and ran to the ball, which is what they coached.
Good coaches, since your a little kid, always go to
the ball, Always go to the ball. Second and one
from the Colts forty one, high Smith gets the strip
sack and Harmon recovers the fumble. So in consecutive plays

(01:09:26):
he made a play down the field and then in
the backfield.

Speaker 2 (01:09:28):
And he's a defensive lineman. And that's the kind of
effort they were getting yesterday.

Speaker 8 (01:09:33):
And when a rookies doing when a rookie's doing that,
usually it's because the veterans are doing that. That's how
they got to play. They got to pet the dog.
They have to have fight. Every play matters, doesn't matter
what happened on the last play. You don't know what's
going to happen on the next play. Every play matters,

(01:09:54):
defend every blade of grass, all that Tomlin word salad,
A lot of it is rooted in truth.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Gotta win your one on ones, and that's what they
were doing yesterday.

Speaker 6 (01:10:04):
I'm just shocked that they held Jonathan Taylor to forty
five yards rushing.

Speaker 8 (01:10:09):
His long gain was nine yards the previous Sunday his
long game was eighty yards.

Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
Eighty I know, but they I do know. They screwed up.
I really think they should have stuck with him. They
threw the ball early, way more than I thought they
were going to.

Speaker 8 (01:10:25):
It's kind of their remo. Though he's not a first
many yards and touchdowns. He had to pass that's up
the run. Well, no, they show him a little bit
early and get everybody worried about him, and then they
play action you to death, and then in the second half,
when they're comfortably ahead, they run, run, run.

Speaker 6 (01:10:41):
Well, that's what I was going to bring up. How
much adversity have they faced? I mean, this is there.

Speaker 7 (01:10:45):
They're on the road, they're in the elements, they're in
a hostile environment, and they're down a couple scores.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
That's big. It's a lot easier to play when your
head Steelers offense.

Speaker 8 (01:10:56):
You know, there was pretty reasonable school thought that they
were gonna have to light it up, the Steelers were
going to survive yesterday. That didn't happen particularly early. Here's
Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 17 (01:11:06):
Well, we started off pretty slow. I mean it was
pretty ugly on offense for a decent part of the day.
Had a lot of chances, but our defense played incredible,
you know, after getting blasted for the last week.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
Really proud of him. I thought the energy was great.

Speaker 13 (01:11:25):
Thought.

Speaker 17 (01:11:25):
There was a good message last night by Jalen and
I think the guys responded well.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:11:29):
The play of the game, the TJ. Watts snow question, sack,
fumble recovery. What did that mean to the final outcome?
Mike Tomlin had a pretty good idea.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
It was everything.

Speaker 16 (01:11:41):
You know, we were running on the beach offensively, we
needed a short field and like all great players do,
man he provided it when we needed it most.

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
I like that one running on the beach.

Speaker 8 (01:11:54):
Fifth career stripsack for Watt in which he recovered the
fumble that he forced. Since nineteen ninety one, Robert Mathis
had eight, Chandler Jones had six, and Jared Allen had six.
Those are the only guys with more such plays than TJ.

Speaker 21 (01:12:10):
Watt.

Speaker 8 (01:12:10):
Wow, thirty fifth career forced fumble. People never bring that
up with this guy when they talk about comparing him
to the other edge rushers. It's only sack sack sacks.
Merril has a great line about sacks. Okay, you got
eighteen sacks in a season, what'd you do on your
other seven hundred and thirty eight snaps?

Speaker 6 (01:12:29):
It's not they're important, but the turnovers? Yeah, what nobody
forces fumbles? Like, what do you have abby your earlier
point about the cult schedule. They started their season against
the Dolphins and thumped them, squeaked out a one point,
went over the Broncos, thumped the Titans who were a mess,
lost to the Rams, thumped the Raiders who were a mess,

(01:12:51):
squeaked past the Cardinals. This they did, uh, And then
they they ended up beating the colt or the Chargers
by two touchdowns, which is a pretty good win. And
then they had the Titans after they fired what's his
name Callahan. So at this point, yeah, this was a
tough matchup considering who else they've played. At this point,

(01:13:13):
I would say the Rams the Broncos, Chargers, and the
Steelers were the real matches where they had trouble, and
they lost three of those games.

Speaker 8 (01:13:21):
They got a big call in the Broncos game two
where there was a leverage call on a field goal
that gave him a rekick.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
That's right, and they made it.

Speaker 6 (01:13:32):
But and they would have lot that would have given
them four losses in those four tough.

Speaker 2 (01:13:36):
Teams, us being one of them.

Speaker 8 (01:13:38):
The combined winning percentage of the teams they had beaten
going into yesterday was three point fifty two. Okay, the
combined winning percentage of the teams the Steelers had beaten
was three eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
Yeah, way better.

Speaker 8 (01:13:50):
I mean, Steelers bete the Jets. Minnesota is. I think
Minnesota is a good team. It's just had some issues
a a quarterback. They don't have their identity, not having
the kind of year that the people.

Speaker 6 (01:14:02):
Thought that we played quarterback for the me yesterday McCarthy
he won that game.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
Oh Jesus.

Speaker 6 (01:14:07):
Steeler's only real hang your hat all win was New England,
no question, well until yesterday, and yeah, and that was
a you know, hang on kind of win.

Speaker 2 (01:14:16):
That's just how it squeaked out. It's kind of how
this stuff works.

Speaker 5 (01:14:19):
Hatriots. Drake may is on eight roll right now.

Speaker 6 (01:17:10):
To your radio home the pittsfordh Steelers one on two
point five d v E Randy Bauman, Bill Crawford, Abbey, Chrisner, Microsuda,
jacobrect is your producer. Top five plays of the game
yesterday and the defense was a turnover machine. Third quarter
score seventeen to seven. Danny Dimes drops back. How did

(01:17:30):
he not see Peyton Wilson there?

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
He totally didn't see him because he came off his guy.

Speaker 8 (01:17:37):
He was supposed to have Warren in the flat, and
he gets they were gonna throw the middle route and
he just jumped it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:42):
Motion man has Warren right to left across the formation,
Jones back to pass looking from.

Speaker 25 (01:17:47):
Tener stepting picked off by Peyton, Milton scooting up the
right sideline, a trip up brought down at the fifteen,
and the turnovers coming in bunches for.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
The Steelers land with some instincts.

Speaker 5 (01:18:00):
Aton Wilson is one of those guys that is.

Speaker 6 (01:18:04):
It seems like he takes you know, two steps forward
one step back a lot of times.

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
Yes, it's really fast, so it's easy for him to
do that.

Speaker 6 (01:18:12):
Yeah, right, yesterday was a two steps forward day. I
thought he had an outstanding day. Mike who was a
terror Yeah, he was, you know, second year guy right well.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
And tons of potential.

Speaker 6 (01:18:21):
They were making sure that they were getting use out
of all of the outside linebackers yesterday. And another Peyton
Wilson play, Oh wait, no, I jumped the gun.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (01:18:32):
Number four. This goes to a son who wanted to
make his dad proud. In the fourth quarter, Joey Porter
Junior comes up big.

Speaker 4 (01:18:42):
Back to pass, looking pressure coming throws and is intercepted.

Speaker 25 (01:18:46):
Joey Porter Junior first interception of the season at the
forty yard line of the Steelers and another turnover.

Speaker 3 (01:18:55):
He is hustling down of the closed part of the
end zone.

Speaker 25 (01:18:58):
His teammates behind him is celebrate as a Steelers now
with another turnover.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
How many macs one for the other thumb six on
the day. What a great line.

Speaker 8 (01:19:09):
And I think that was more listening to a Porter's
interview with Missy interviewed and won the field after the game,
and then what does show he had to say in
the locker room. It wasn't so much a son wanting
to make his father proud. It was the father saying, son,
you better make me practice.

Speaker 9 (01:19:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:19:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:19:30):
Third quarter This is the one I was jumping to earlier.
Seventeen to seven Steelers second and one with three minutes
left in the third corner, Peyton Wilson again with the play.
He tips it and the modern day warrior Jack Sawyer
with the interception. This looks bat Away.

Speaker 3 (01:19:49):
Had its pick off Holy mackerel.

Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
Peyton Wilson knock it away and Sawyer on the other
end of the field rushing it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
Caught it for another turnover for the Steelers.

Speaker 4 (01:20:01):
Second interception of Jones in the game in a four
turnover by the Steelers.

Speaker 8 (01:20:06):
Yeah, he's already a core special teams player for them,
Jack Sawyer, and he doesn't play a ton of snaps,
but he keeps getting splashed.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
Don't know. Yeah, Captain Jackson's patick. The tackle for lost
there at number two.

Speaker 29 (01:20:24):
A lot of people wanted to see more herbig more, herbig, more, herbig.
I wonder if that started to get the heighsmith a
little bit. I thought he played outstanding yesterday. What were
the time stamps on this one?

Speaker 11 (01:20:37):
Abby Ato?

Speaker 12 (01:20:38):
Three Jones fumbles recovered at the Andy thirty four is
Jones and he's.

Speaker 4 (01:20:44):
Hit for the backside by Alex high Smith And now
they're saying it's a fumble. Oh, I thought the arm
was moving forward. But it's a high Smith fumble forced.
It is a Harmon recovery and it is this Steelers football.

Speaker 6 (01:20:59):
From where I was sitting, it looked like a forward pass.
I didn't think that was a fumble. Replay clearly showed
he got there. Yeah, and Harmon is fitting in and
figuring it out.

Speaker 7 (01:21:10):
Anybody that has ever shook that man's hand knows that
once he gets his mits on a ball, you ain't
getting it back.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
Then get your hand back right. It's like the jaws
of life.

Speaker 6 (01:21:24):
Nothing was going the Steelers way early on they were
down seven to nothing and this is your number one
play of the game. When it looked like after they
converted a fake punt and they were getting to do
whatever they want.

Speaker 5 (01:21:39):
Abby was so pissed about that.

Speaker 12 (01:21:41):
I texted Randy. I was like, tell me, you have
no respect for Mike Tomlin. They near it a fake
punt formation and that.

Speaker 6 (01:21:50):
In your own you know, it was on their own
twenty yard line.

Speaker 7 (01:21:55):
They're not afraid to go for it on fourth down,
and they were successful at doing it.

Speaker 5 (01:21:59):
But this changed it did the number one play of
the game TJ. W.

Speaker 4 (01:22:03):
Jones in the shotgun play action pass looking, here comes
the TJ.

Speaker 3 (01:22:08):
Watt from the back end, knocks away the ball. TJ.

Speaker 4 (01:22:10):
Watt's got it. He's picked it up. What the strip
sack and TJ Watt makes him play this Steelers desperately
needed to turn it over.

Speaker 6 (01:22:20):
He his brain moves so quickly, his ability that like
when he gobbles up those fumbles, to me, it just
seems like it's it's like an animal with animal with food,
you know what I mean, Like it's crazy what his
ball awareness is and he understands, like he reminds me

(01:22:41):
of Sydney Crosby and that I think he studies the
minutia of stuff like this, and I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
Sure he studies anything you could study.

Speaker 6 (01:22:48):
And the way the ball bounces and when he comes
with his left hand, it's likely to go this way
or that way.

Speaker 2 (01:22:52):
And if he knocks, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:22:53):
Like he landed on that ball immediately boom gobbled it up,
hungry hippo style Steelers ball.

Speaker 2 (01:23:00):
Do you watch blocked on that? I mean it was
one on one, but the guy did a pretty good job.
He was really good job. The left hand got in.

Speaker 7 (01:23:06):
I mean the burst, the balance and the bend were
ridiculous on that play.

Speaker 5 (01:23:12):
If you look at it and you hit freeze.

Speaker 6 (01:23:16):
At the moment his completely off balance where his left
hand is coming down on the ball, He's about to
fall flat on his face with his right foot planted.
He's at a forty five degree angle and his left
leg is in the air.

Speaker 7 (01:23:31):
It's like those speed motorcycles where their knees touched the
ground when they turn. Yeah, right, you know, like that angle,
you should not be able to still somehow be on
your feet and make that play. Like if you knock
the ball out, you definitely shouldn't have enough balance to
also recover it.

Speaker 6 (01:23:48):
As coach Tomlin said, that was the play of the
game yesterday. It changed the entire mojo for the Pittsburgh Steelers,
and all of it resulted in a six turnover performance
from the Indy Colts offense, who prior to this game.

Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
Had only turned the ball over four times Mike and Randall.

Speaker 8 (01:24:10):
That made the Colts the first team since nineteen fifty,
at least nineteen fifty. They don't have records back further
than that, but first team since at least nineteen fifty
to have two more turnovers in a game week eight
or later than they had the entire season leading up
to them. So if you think you saw what you

(01:24:31):
saw yesterday before?

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
You haven't hit you had not.

Speaker 5 (01:24:36):
Jerry Dulac joined us eight forty five.

Speaker 6 (01:24:38):
Rob came with a power steeler talking nine o'clock and
Abby's got your news.

Speaker 2 (01:24:46):
That's scary.

Speaker 11 (01:24:48):
What spooky? Scary's good?

Speaker 2 (01:24:50):
Still qualifies news. You can get stuck.

Speaker 11 (01:24:55):
Stuck, and we should talk about what's scarier.

Speaker 12 (01:24:57):
Would you rather be stuck on the pirate ship at
Kenny or the incline or at a pirates game?

Speaker 6 (01:26:06):
Huge defensive effort yesterday from the Pittsburgh Steelers and they
needed it. The Singhs turnovers proved just a bit too
costly for Indiana Jones and Company, and.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
They proved to be the snakes that took Indy down yesterday.

Speaker 6 (01:26:24):
Colts are seven to two, Steelers now five and three
and boy went at six and two.

Speaker 2 (01:26:30):
Sound a whole lot better for the Steelers right now.

Speaker 6 (01:26:32):
There was a stupid Bengals game and there that team's
in free fall, I mean, losing to the Bears yesterday.
And I don't know if you saw any of the
locker room stuff. That was Chase Brown and Jamar Chase yep.
Chase like, I'm not saying anything because I don't want
the defense coming at me, but they suck.

Speaker 7 (01:26:47):
And there's video of him saying one E F and
stop as he's walking off the field and back to
the locker room.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Yeah, they couldn't get one stop.

Speaker 7 (01:26:56):
They are the first team since the sixties to score
thirty eight points in back to back weeks and loose.
They have given up over a thousand yards two opposing
offenses in the last two weeks.

Speaker 6 (01:27:10):
Well, the Steelers gave up nine hundred and fifty in
the last two weeks before this game.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
So, yeah, you can't win like that.

Speaker 5 (01:27:16):
You cannot. I didn't see that coming yesterday.

Speaker 6 (01:27:19):
I think that, you know, given all of the injuries
in the secondary, you have Kyle Duggar coming off the street,
Jalen Ramsey moving back to free safety, you know, relying
a lot on Echols, who I thought played pretty well
by buying large yesterday. Yeah, Slay had another couple of
plays that just make you wonder is he gonna finish
the season with this team.

Speaker 2 (01:27:39):
Seems like he gets hurt a lot too.

Speaker 6 (01:27:40):
Like he had a couple of things yesterday, a hand
somebody landed on his foot.

Speaker 13 (01:27:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:27:45):
JPJ had another one of his signature games, a couple
of penalties, a pick, some passes batted down. But you know,
a good effort by the defense, but that cannot be
an aberration. That has to be what they do the
rest of the season. And oh, by the way, if
it is, they can play with anybody.

Speaker 7 (01:28:05):
This is what's so frustrating about this team, because we're
at one minute where, like you know, number one scene
in the AFC, it's attainable. Then we lose to Cincinnati
and it's like this is going to be the first
time they go under five hundred under coach Hamlin. Then
we beat the Colts and we're like, hey, you know
what super Bowl back on?

Speaker 6 (01:28:28):
Do you not think they can beat the Chargers if
they play like that?

Speaker 7 (01:28:31):
I think they can beat any That's why people are
so pissed because the expectation is so high.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:28:38):
If people thought this team actually sucked and they weren't
just playing way below the standard, I don't think they'd
be as mad.

Speaker 6 (01:28:46):
I wish I could have a recording of what must
have been the zestiest speech on Sunday night Jalen Ramsey
to the team.

Speaker 2 (01:28:55):
Which seemed to bear fruit. You know.

Speaker 7 (01:28:58):
Aaron Rodgers referenced it as being a big counintended yet.

Speaker 11 (01:29:02):
Uh oh okay, what kind of fruit?

Speaker 2 (01:29:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:29:08):
It was a fruity speech, yeah, and Aaron Rodgers even
said that he thought it was very effective and they
needed it.

Speaker 5 (01:29:15):
They needed that kind of leadership.

Speaker 6 (01:29:16):
But it's weird that that leadership came from a guy
who's only been here for five minutes. Yeah, and there
wasn't a t J. Watt speech, or it wasn't a Cam.
But maybe those venerable voices are suffering from the same
thing that Mike Tomlins is, which you know, after a
while you hear from those guys and it just kind
of stops ringing.

Speaker 2 (01:29:37):
True, it's a.

Speaker 5 (01:29:38):
Little hollow, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:29:40):
So maybe it's the new guys coming in and doing
that that really sort of just supports the message that
TJ and Cam have been given. I mean when Tam
Cam said they had they didn't have enough fight last week,
and those are fighting words, yeah, right.

Speaker 7 (01:29:55):
And you got to come out after you say something
like that and call your teammates out and have a game.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
And he did. He was a monster yesterday, no question.

Speaker 6 (01:30:04):
So was TJTJ needed that, man, He hasn't had a
sack in over a month.

Speaker 2 (01:30:11):
We have to feed the Kraken Abby. He's got a
news update for you now.

Speaker 11 (01:30:16):
Is this hour brought to you by Window Nation. Mostly
Sunday today, with a high of fifty seven.

Speaker 12 (01:30:20):
First responders rescued twenty seven passengers stuck on board the
Monongahela Incline in Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon. Cruse safely removed
the passengers after the East and West cars unexpectedly stopped
working during a trip. The incline stopped working around two
twenty five PM when the car stopped about forty feet
short of their stations. The five passengers in the West car,

(01:30:42):
the car closest to the upper station, were rescued by
four to twenty pm, and the twenty two passengers on
the East car were rescued by six pm.

Speaker 5 (01:30:50):
Oh my god, how many hours are they in there?

Speaker 6 (01:30:52):
So four four and a half hours, two on the
top and four and a.

Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
Half on a no, no, thank you.

Speaker 6 (01:30:58):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (01:31:01):
Tappened a bunch too too many times.

Speaker 11 (01:31:03):
But it sounds like they had to bring like a
fire ladder truck up.

Speaker 7 (01:31:09):
Oh man, going to help get that, and you gotta
climb down like your or fan Annie.

Speaker 11 (01:31:14):
It's making my hands sweat.

Speaker 5 (01:31:16):
Come on, I just think I'd have been like, yep,
I'm gonna swing down.

Speaker 6 (01:31:21):
Swing, turn off, turn off the rails.

Speaker 11 (01:31:24):
I'm coming down, hands are Did you think they get spaghetti?

Speaker 2 (01:31:33):
Could they get food to the carts.

Speaker 11 (01:31:36):
For four hours?

Speaker 5 (01:31:37):
Look, those people might have started eating each other if
it didn't.

Speaker 6 (01:31:40):
Yeah, it's all of a Suddenburgers on a Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:31:45):
Part of your ass about half hour.

Speaker 6 (01:31:49):
Didn't take a personal if I you first drone us
up some Primannes or start cannibal wi each other.

Speaker 7 (01:31:58):
Like you can still talk to your family. You can
see your family.

Speaker 6 (01:32:01):
They're up on the overlook and you're eating somebody's hand
next to you, like in a cartoon.

Speaker 2 (01:32:06):
Put mustard on it. Hey, twenty feet from the station, right, Yeah,
my mom's.

Speaker 11 (01:32:10):
Making bade us today.

Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
I might not make it. You could throw throwing shot, yeah,
something something. I hope they got some wings, like you know,
using a cherry picker up to there or something, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:32:26):
On one end, I don't know how this keeps happening,
And on the other end, I know why it keeps
happening because this is like a multi hundred year old thing.

Speaker 6 (01:32:37):
Yes we're old, Yeah it's we're old. But I do
love the incline, and it is the when you when
I live on Washington. The most fun thing to do
would be to just walk over to the incline, get on.
It takes you down the hill, walk across the station square,
get on a boat. It took you to the stadium.
That was the funnest way to like use public transportation,

(01:32:58):
mostly because.

Speaker 2 (01:32:59):
They had a bar on the boat, but like just
all of it.

Speaker 6 (01:33:02):
There was nothing more Pittsburgh than that, Like, oh yeah,
we're gonna ride the incline and then we're gonna take
the clipper over it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:07):
It is so many transportation, it's so fun.

Speaker 6 (01:33:10):
It Like I always told people that coming in from
the South, like they're like, where should we park for
the Steeler game.

Speaker 5 (01:33:15):
I'm like, Mount Washington, take the incline and in the boat.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (01:33:19):
The only problem with that coming back the boat on
the way back, the line for the boat and the
line for the t station the t too.

Speaker 7 (01:33:27):
I was just gonna say that because that's what we
did to go when I took the girls to Taylor Swift.
We parked up in Mount Washington, took the incline, took
the tea over to Tayte.

Speaker 28 (01:33:39):
And that.

Speaker 7 (01:33:41):
That subway was like a subway in Beijing by the
last stop, except it was all glitter and pink frills.

Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
Fewer agents.

Speaker 12 (01:33:52):
Yeah, really doesn't count because he used to live on
Mount Washington. But as a Pittsburgher built. How many times
have you actually been on the incline?

Speaker 2 (01:34:00):
I mean a bunch just because of stuff like that.
Not at not more than twenty.

Speaker 6 (01:34:07):
Dude, we'd be like, let's go down to the Gandy
Dancer and get some drinks and watch the game, you
know what I mean, Like on Sundays that's fun.

Speaker 2 (01:34:13):
When does it stop running? Like I have to imagine it,
It wouldn't mak.

Speaker 5 (01:34:18):
Like eleven yeah, maybe maybe even ten now I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:34:21):
Ima people drunk on the incline. It sucking.

Speaker 6 (01:34:25):
If you thought you were gonna make it, like on
the south Side, you're like, let's just make sure we
get back to the incline in time.

Speaker 2 (01:34:32):
And if it stops running, then.

Speaker 6 (01:34:33):
You're at the bottom there and you're like, we gotta
go walk up Sycamore. Now absolutely sucks. And then you
just don't do it, and then you try to find
a jitney and hope they don't murder you.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
Abby.

Speaker 5 (01:34:46):
You Once you've been on the incline once, yep, Oh
my God.

Speaker 2 (01:34:50):
Was it on the Incline of Love?

Speaker 26 (01:34:53):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
Or were you not involved on location for that?

Speaker 12 (01:34:57):
Was not on location for that particular promotion an abbey? Yeah,
I can't remember why that gross dress?

Speaker 2 (01:35:05):
Kenny, I don't Kenny dB.

Speaker 12 (01:35:10):
Yeah, really sexing it up. I don't remember why I
was on it. But I've only been on it once.
But you have to remember, I've only overcome my fear
of heights and death in the last couple of years.
I wonder if now I don't care kill me.

Speaker 2 (01:35:27):
I don't care.

Speaker 11 (01:35:29):
I'm ready to go.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:35:30):
You kind of tackled your fear of flying.

Speaker 12 (01:35:32):
This year, right, Yeah, in the past couple of years.

Speaker 11 (01:35:36):
Now I'm perbvious. I'm not afraid of anything.

Speaker 6 (01:35:38):
I wonder if Incline would let us do a contest
where like see who can stay on the incline the longest?
Oh God, purpose like not get stuck, like you're just
riding it up and down all day.

Speaker 11 (01:35:51):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (01:35:52):
You can't get off.

Speaker 6 (01:35:53):
You can't get off if you have to pee or whatever.
Like you show up, you get on it first, No,
you get on it first ride, and then you got
It's like this is gonna get flagged by legal You're
probably right, no peeing.

Speaker 9 (01:36:11):
A man from the West End died today. Ticketsaceoper. He
wasn't even that good of a price. The tickets were lawn.
They were lawn seats.

Speaker 11 (01:36:25):
Yeah, first come, first served movie Thursday night, Her Fast
and Furious.

Speaker 6 (01:36:31):
Eleven representatives from DV quote, we didn't know you could
die from not peeing. You did this all for a
first night, Agraacuzzi, Dude, I'm telling you that bleacher creature
thing we did was kind of like that. I cannot
believe we got the legal to sign off on that,
where they sat on bleachers overnight all that Like, there

(01:36:55):
was a bathroom there, there was a porta potty and
they were allowed to eat and everything. But it was
who can outlast one another? The four Steeler season tickets
like bleacher seats, dude. It was bleachers on the side
of the parkway right where DV was across the street.

Speaker 5 (01:37:13):
So we could look out the window of the studio
and see the people on the bleachers.

Speaker 2 (01:37:17):
And who put those bleachers there? We did.

Speaker 6 (01:37:19):
We brought them in and then people would have signs
and they would like cheer on the you know, four
people that were laughed or whatever, and the like morning
rush and afternoon rush. They get honked at and like
people are cheering them on, and it was it was
pretty nutty.

Speaker 7 (01:37:33):
Steel bleachers would bleachers like they were steel And did
people have like the bleacher seats that go on top
of it for their back.

Speaker 2 (01:37:41):
I don't think so.

Speaker 6 (01:37:42):
I think you had to sit on those and you
were allowed to you know, you could eat and drink
and do everything in The bathrooms were there, but like
you were only allowed to leave to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 5 (01:37:52):
And I want to say it went three or four days.

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
Does that mean that you guys had a spotter on
the bleachers the whole time? Yeah? We the hell was
doing that sitty. We had so many employees back then.

Speaker 6 (01:38:03):
You know, it's not like now, like we used to
have employees to be able to do stuff like that,
and now of course it's all like AI, yeah, you
know a little different. But we'd have to find something
for those guys to do bill, so this was perfect.
We were justifying their jobs. You're gonna have to stay
up overnight for three nights on bleachers. Okay, what was

(01:38:24):
the prize for steelers and tickets?

Speaker 11 (01:38:27):
Oh, okay, that's not bad.

Speaker 6 (01:38:28):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:38:29):
It was you know, we had just been to a
Super Bowl. Yeah, hot heading to another. You know, it
was good times.

Speaker 11 (01:38:40):
I don't need it.

Speaker 6 (01:38:41):
I don't know if there's anything I would sit on
bleachers overnight for multiple days for.

Speaker 11 (01:38:48):
Steelers season tickets that's up there.

Speaker 2 (01:38:52):
Penguin season tickets at the height of their their run.
I don't know. Man fifteen sixteen seven teen around that
time for the Pens, I do it. My couch is
pretty comfy. I don't know I would justify I but.

Speaker 7 (01:39:06):
Think of all the people you could entertain, yea, all
the tickets you could give to friends.

Speaker 11 (01:39:11):
Yes, that guy you're coming in from a post COVID brain.

Speaker 2 (01:39:16):
No, I'm just an old guy.

Speaker 5 (01:39:17):
I mean, that's what it is. If I was in
my thirties, i'd be like, I do it.

Speaker 6 (01:39:22):
What about Like now, I'm like, you know, I go
to a concert I want to see at ninety minutes
and I'm like, I think I had enough, you know, yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:39:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:39:31):
What about what about something like an all inclusive, high
end luxury trip to Yosemite or something like that.

Speaker 5 (01:39:40):
Oh well, yeah, I mean that's something I would consider, Like.

Speaker 7 (01:39:43):
Where you're staying at the nicest place in the primo location,
all expenses paid kind of thing.

Speaker 6 (01:39:49):
Yeah, I mean I think you can go just go
run wild there now because there are no park rangers.
So now's the time to go experience it if you
want to. Really, there's no rules, there's no rules, there's
nothing going on there nobody.

Speaker 2 (01:40:00):
You go and enjoy it.

Speaker 6 (01:40:02):
Anyways, they'll never let us do that in a million
years here, so it doesn't matter. Our contests now go
through it's insane.

Speaker 11 (01:40:10):
Well that's going through AI Legal now.

Speaker 5 (01:40:11):
The dude, it literally does.

Speaker 6 (01:40:13):
The liability concern that this company has is so high
for everything, it's I mean, it's prohibitive.

Speaker 2 (01:40:22):
It all has to go through DVET. You have to
run that through the by the alien.

Speaker 6 (01:40:29):
And the thing I don't understand about that is they're like, no, no,
we have to be very careful. We can't be in
a position to get sued and there, and then they
put us in this place to work, and they're like, now,
go to the bathroom in the place where an open
super sewer pipe with that with toilets that don't flush
with a whole bunch of people from the building who
come down to your bathroom because their is even more
gross than yours. Like how do they not think that
that's a problem ever, you know, they always do stuff

(01:40:50):
like that. They're like worried about the listeners, never worried
about the people that work here. You know, don't worry
about it. If you get hepatitis, you can get two days.

Speaker 2 (01:41:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:41:02):
Anyways, it seems like I'm making this personal a little bit.

Speaker 9 (01:41:06):
Uh.

Speaker 12 (01:41:06):
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown reportedly filed a harassment
and bullying claim against her on screen dad David Harbor.

Speaker 6 (01:41:15):
No way, Yeah, this guy's having man, he's a weird dude.

Speaker 2 (01:41:20):
Oh he done.

Speaker 12 (01:41:22):
According to The Mail on Sunday, the complaint was made
before filming began on the show's fifth and final season,
sparking an internal inquiry that source claims went on for
months and that there were pages and pages of accusations.
The outlet noted that there were no accusations of sexual
misconduct and that the investigation's outcome remains unknown. Obviously, timing

(01:41:45):
not great for Harbor, who's also in the headlines thanks
to his ex wife Lily Allen's new album West End Girl,
which references their very messy split and Harbor's alleged affair.
In a recent Esquire UK interview, Harber reflected on the
mistakes that he's made, saying he'd change either everything or nothing.

(01:42:07):
He added, if you've never been through anything, what do
you really have to offer?

Speaker 6 (01:42:12):
Did you guys see any of the video from when
she was nominated for whatever the British version of the
Tonys is. She was never an actress before, and she
got slated to appear in this play and was just
a natural and killed it and got nominated.

Speaker 2 (01:42:30):
I don't think she won.

Speaker 6 (01:42:31):
She's being interviewed about it, like as they're going under
the awards ceremony and when you I mean, he was
so obviously not being supportive, and the reporter asked him like, oh, so,
what's it feel like to have you know, you're you're
an actor, and you know, to have your wife nominated,
this must be gratifying. And he's like, yeah, I've this

(01:42:53):
is her first play. I've acted in hundreds of plays
and no I never got nominated. No, so yeah, no,
this is real fun for me, real fun. And he's
and he was trying to like make it like ha haha,
like joke it off, you know what I mean. It
was like, dude, you so obviously feel that way, and like,

(01:43:16):
could not have been a bigger jerk to like, could
you imagine Tom Hanks like acting like that to Rita
Wilson or something? Now you know, like you have to
it has to be all about her. He immediately made
it about him.

Speaker 12 (01:43:29):
Did you hear any of this record or read any
of the stories about what is in this record.

Speaker 11 (01:43:37):
That she wrote?

Speaker 5 (01:43:38):
Only that, only that the allegations were there? Nothing specific?

Speaker 11 (01:43:43):
Oh my good god in the goosebat you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:43:48):
How bad?

Speaker 13 (01:43:49):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (01:43:49):
The worst lemonade?

Speaker 2 (01:43:51):
Really?

Speaker 11 (01:43:52):
Take lemonade and add cyanide to it?

Speaker 2 (01:43:56):
Really?

Speaker 11 (01:43:57):
She names names, she plays voice mails.

Speaker 12 (01:44:01):
She mentions specific things he likes in the bedroom, specific
toys he likes.

Speaker 6 (01:44:11):
What she like.

Speaker 12 (01:44:13):
Time stamps it for you if you would just like
to do you want to know his bank pin? It's
in the record like she chronicles it from beginning to end.
There's not a detail in their marriage that you will
not know by the end of the record, Like toys

(01:44:35):
in the bed like speak, oh.

Speaker 6 (01:44:37):
Plugout like Rubik's cube or you know, Simon.

Speaker 11 (01:44:48):
Repress it, No, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:44:51):
Twist it, pop it, bumping it, m you can ram
it all night.

Speaker 7 (01:45:20):
So the rams one yesterday is a Bluetooth speaker. I
guess a brown tooth speaker.

Speaker 5 (01:45:25):
But yeah, as soon as as soon as the plug
comes out, but.

Speaker 2 (01:45:32):
Just ram it the rabbit song.

Speaker 12 (01:45:34):
Yeah, no you need if you if you want piping
hot tea, like, get yourself a warm blanket.

Speaker 2 (01:45:44):
I don't want.

Speaker 6 (01:45:46):
That's not how I relaxed long titles and you'll get
a nice cup of tea in a warm blanket.

Speaker 5 (01:45:51):
You're gonna read about David Harbard's butt plug.

Speaker 4 (01:45:57):
That guy.

Speaker 6 (01:45:57):
I didn't know him until Stranger Things, and he seemed
to me to be a guy that like busted his
ass and finally had the breakthrough role.

Speaker 2 (01:46:03):
So it's like, oh that's cool man, good for this guy.

Speaker 11 (01:46:05):
Or he was a bad person.

Speaker 2 (01:46:08):
Yeah, the whole time. He was a psychopath.

Speaker 5 (01:46:10):
The entire time.

Speaker 2 (01:46:12):
I totally had a wrong read on him.

Speaker 7 (01:46:14):
I thought he was like the nicest guy ever finally
broke through, totally journeyman actor type story. I thought all
those kids loved him. And I mean, this is not inconsequential.

Speaker 6 (01:46:27):
The monetary fallout of this is huge because that Stranger
Things movie being put in featers this is going to
crush it and those guys that developed in is it
the Duffer Brothers.

Speaker 11 (01:46:42):
I think that's correct.

Speaker 6 (01:46:44):
I mean, could you take any longer putting out your product.

Speaker 2 (01:46:49):
I don't even remember what Stranger Things is about. I
don't know any of the characters.

Speaker 6 (01:46:53):
They're all like, she's married in real life, baby's eleven.

Speaker 2 (01:46:58):
She was a Stranger kids the Stranger Things Kids have
kids now, yeah, or.

Speaker 6 (01:47:05):
I moved on.

Speaker 11 (01:47:06):
The Demi Gorgon is like collecting retirement.

Speaker 21 (01:47:12):
I liked.

Speaker 5 (01:47:13):
I think the last season when the Redhead girl came in.

Speaker 11 (01:47:17):
Oh, that was cute.

Speaker 12 (01:47:18):
Yeah, that was one of my favorite Halloween decorations that
I saw, at least online, where people were doing something
where they had they made a dummy and they suspended
it in the air of her floating.

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
Oh, that's cool.

Speaker 11 (01:47:27):
Great Halloween decoration. That was cute. And the Eddie Munson
thing I watched that. Yeah, yeah, Little Master Puppets and
now I'm good.

Speaker 2 (01:47:36):
Wait what was that storyline? The guy who was the
lifeguard at the pool who was ed was.

Speaker 12 (01:47:43):
The guitar player that did like Master Puppets and he
like playing them, and there were demons and I actually don't.

Speaker 11 (01:47:49):
Remember what happened to me.

Speaker 2 (01:47:51):
And it's David Harbor's fault.

Speaker 6 (01:47:53):
Mostly David Harbor's all right, Michael be in More on
yesterday's win for the Steelers twenty seven to twenty and
Akrocer Stadium. It was it was all Steelers on the
defensive side of things. I mean, six turnovers, just huge. Offensively,
it was weird. You know, they had short fields and
they capitalized on that, which was good, but not being
able to score off of the fumbled punt kind of

(01:48:16):
bummed me out.

Speaker 5 (01:48:17):
Hard to be down on the Steelers in any way,
shape or form, but I.

Speaker 7 (01:48:21):
Was probably the low point, right, Yeah, I mean because
you went three and out twice to start the.

Speaker 6 (01:48:26):
Game, Yes, and then Darnell Washington misses that, you know,
fourth down right in his gut, looked like he wasn't
expecting it. But I will say this, I hate the
rule that you can't advance a fumbled punt.

Speaker 2 (01:48:35):
Why it's yeah, I don't understand a ball.

Speaker 6 (01:48:39):
What's like, what reason is there for that rule to
be in place? Also, Danny Smith pulling off some trickery
yesterday that probably took people a while to get when
he had Boswell kick the ball out of bounds on
the penalty, because I was like, what the hell are
they doing that for? And then they said ball to
twenty five. I'm like, twenty five. The balls at the

(01:48:59):
forty one, you're out. The penalty of penalty is twenty
five yards from the point of kickoff. So the penalty
that they got on the extra point put the kickoff
on the fifty. That was pretty smart stuff there. Due
to math kick it out of bounds. They can only
get the ball at the twenty five.

Speaker 2 (01:49:17):
Smart smart And he became a storyline yesterday for his
gum chewing he always is.

Speaker 6 (01:49:23):
I tell you, it looks like he's chewing a hot
water bottle. That's how much gum is in his mouth.
So many pieces in there.

Speaker 2 (01:49:29):
Just rubber. What if that's his tongue. It looks like
a cow tongue that he's chewing on.

Speaker 6 (01:49:37):
It's like, I don't have gum, I've got I've got
gigantism of the tongue. Jerry d rob King, Steelers win.

Now we're gonna charge it Target eight twenty.

Speaker 15 (01:50:13):
On DVE from the Bridgeville Appliance Weather Center, known for
exceptional service.

Speaker 2 (01:50:18):
Bridgeville, thank you suit with.

Speaker 6 (01:50:20):
Your sports right now on the DVE mornings Steelers twenty seven,
Colts twenty Just like we all fought, and I'm being serious,
we all said, watch, this is the game the Steelers.

Speaker 2 (01:50:33):
Are gonna win. Yeah, but we didn't really meet it.
Now we're being sarcast I did.

Speaker 8 (01:50:39):
I picked them sports. That's how brought to you by
Bridgeville Appliants. Sometimes less is more and sometimes necessity is
the mother of invention. And I think we saw the
confluence of those two things with the Steelers defense yesterday,
which actually looked like the Steelers defense that they intended
to be this.

Speaker 6 (01:50:58):
Season lived up to the billing of Mike's historic proclamation.

Speaker 8 (01:51:03):
Yeah, number one offense comes in and you turn them
over so many times based on how few turnovers the
Colts had prior to that, the first time since at
least nineteen fifty that the team has had at least
two more turnovers than it had coming in in the
entirety of the season in just one football game. They
had some injury slash illness issues and they were shorthanded

(01:51:26):
at safety, so they wind up playing Jalen Ramsey at
free safety one hundred percent of the snaps. Kyle Duggar
plays strong safety ninety nine percent of the snaps. He
only had four tackles, but there weren't major screw ups.
There weren't guys running free. At cornerback, Joey Porter handled

(01:51:48):
one side and the other side was Darius Slay or
Brandon Eckles. If Slay was a little a little banged up,
Eccles was basically the nickel. You basically had to say
guys playing the same positions the entirety of the game. Now,
we had talked before the game. I was questioning their
in and out philosophy on defense. You know, seven guys

(01:52:11):
in and out of the game based on down and distance.
That's not something that other teams don't do. But when
you're having the amount of screw ups that Steelers had
been having, maybe you got to just dial it down right,
pull it back, and maybe if you don't have to
communicate as much, there's not as much opportunity to miscommunicate.

Speaker 2 (01:52:31):
I think we saw that play out yesterday definitely.

Speaker 8 (01:52:35):
And then the other thing at inside linebacker, this was
a really nice tweak because they were so worried about
an offense that can both run and throw. With Jonathan
Taylor and that array of eligibles that Daniel Jones has,
they came up with a three inside linebackers. Look now,
we've seen three outside linebackers on pass downs previously, and

(01:52:57):
we saw it again yesterday. They rush Watt and high
Smith outside and Herbie comes from the inside. But they
played Malik Harrison, Patrick Queen and Peyton Wilson at the
same time a lot, and I think it worked really well, agreed.
Peyton Wilson's snap count, by the way, eighty five percent

(01:53:20):
in his last three games. It had been sixty six,
forty four and sixty seven percent.

Speaker 2 (01:53:25):
So they used the morning just delivered all over them.
I thought Patrick Queen played a good game.

Speaker 8 (01:53:29):
For the field, and Herbig played fifty one percent of
the snaps, which was up significantly. I think from his
last two games thirty eight percent and thirty seven percent.
They gotta find ways to get him on the field,
not at necessarily the expense of high Smith, but in
conjunction with high Smith and Watt.

Speaker 2 (01:53:47):
TJ. Watt.

Speaker 6 (01:53:48):
His snaps were down seventy eight percent, down from ninety
two good Yeah, and get more out of him when
he's out there. I mean, if it's just one rusher
for another, I don't think you have to worry about
the guy not knowing what he's doing. Right, It's a
little different in the secondary. So I think they kind

(01:54:08):
of halfway figured it out and halfway stumbled into something
that they can maybe really build on going forward. When
I heard Jabrill Peppers's hurt, Chuck Clark's hurt, and then
Corey Trice his season might be over.

Speaker 2 (01:54:21):
I mean, are you kidding me? What's going on with Thornhill?

Speaker 8 (01:54:24):
Thornhill played three special team snaps and so that's just
a benching, Yeah, I mean appropriate. I mean instead of
trying to work them in and figure out what it's
like bringing in nine relievers, Right, you never know when
one guy's gonna have a bad game. If you got
guys are out there playing and the job's getting done, let.

Speaker 2 (01:54:44):
It keep getting them and yeah, give him some confidence.

Speaker 8 (01:54:48):
The other thing, the way those dvs played, you knew
the Colts were going to catch some passes.

Speaker 2 (01:54:52):
They're good at throwing the ball and catching it.

Speaker 8 (01:54:55):
They make combat catches, but they were on the players
who were catching the ball and there wasn't one hundred
and fifty yards a.

Speaker 2 (01:55:02):
Yak or whatever, now whatever the hell Green Bay had.

Speaker 7 (01:55:04):
I thought they did a good job finding some soft
spots in his zone. But that's what they do.

Speaker 8 (01:55:08):
Yeah, and you know, there were other times where the
dbs knocked the ball down or picked it off or
did whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:55:13):
But they finally covered a tight end.

Speaker 7 (01:55:16):
They limited that kid yesterday, who I think came into
that game having the best season that a tight end
is having.

Speaker 8 (01:55:22):
Tyler Warren was lighting it up. Yeah, and they put
the clamps on him. Looked like a defense. And what
I didn't think they were gonna win this game. If
they were to win it, I thought they would have
had to score thirty eight points.

Speaker 5 (01:55:37):
Hey, kudos to coach Tomlin and Terrell Austin.

Speaker 6 (01:55:40):
Yeah, had those guys ready to play after we just
lam based in them for an entire week. Here, they
had a funeral for the Steelers defense in the parking
lot before the game.

Speaker 7 (01:55:50):
I think we need credit for this. I swear to god,
this is historic. This goes all the way back to
the nineties. As soon as the fan is completely out
and ready to storm the gate with pitchforks, they show
up with a performance like this.

Speaker 2 (01:56:06):
They were ready yesterday.

Speaker 6 (01:56:08):
I'm telling you there was an uncomfortable the vibe in
that stadium at the start of the game. When they
boot him off at the end of the first quarter,
it felt like it was gonna get way, way worse
if things continue the direction they were going in the
first quarter for three and out to start, uh, the
fake punt, letting Indy go down and score.

Speaker 2 (01:56:28):
All of that.

Speaker 6 (01:56:28):
That place was just and by the way, the defense
looked like they didn't know what they were doing on
that drive. I mean they were subbing people in and out.
There was people with their hands in the air.

Speaker 2 (01:56:38):
Am I in?

Speaker 21 (01:56:38):
Am I out?

Speaker 2 (01:56:39):
James Perre running on.

Speaker 6 (01:56:40):
The field, there was a lot of It looked like
a slap organization, you know what I mean, slap what
I stopped myself, but you know what I'm saying, Yes,
and that's why the fans but and it. I was
thinking like, do I want to leave it halftime if
it's going to be like this, because I didn't want to.

Speaker 5 (01:57:00):
I just didn't want that vibe.

Speaker 2 (01:57:02):
Well, if it was twenty four to seven Indian at halftime,
you might have.

Speaker 9 (01:57:07):
It.

Speaker 6 (01:57:08):
People were angry to see she was angry that day,
my friend, No, I thought a significant portion of the
crowd showed up wanting to vent and yes, rained down
the dissatisfaction and rage.

Speaker 2 (01:57:22):
That's what was going to happen if it went bad.
It was going to be an ugly game. You renegade.
It was awesome raising Oh my god. I mean it
looked crazy from the post.

Speaker 6 (01:57:34):
You know how it feels like the stadium is just
going to take flight, you know, because so many terrible
towels are going so the takeaways. I think, don't expect
this every game the rest of the way because it's
the NFL.

Speaker 8 (01:57:48):
But the defense might not stink. And oh, by the way,
they still have a quarterback. Another sort of mild day
for Aaron Rodgers, but no big mistakes, got the guys
in the right places at the right time.

Speaker 5 (01:58:02):
QB rating of the year for him, Uh, I don't
know about that.

Speaker 2 (01:58:05):
Like ninety, I think it.

Speaker 8 (01:58:07):
Was, But I do know that he threw a touchdown pass,
which was his seventeenth, which is the most by a
Steelers quarterback in a single season. Come on, since Ben
Roethlisberger in twenty twenty one. Oh my god, seventeen is
not an avalanche a touchdown pass four long years. That

(01:58:27):
wasn't a juggernaut offense. Yeah, but he's also had but
he's also got nine more games, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:58:32):
But what I'm what I'm talking about Ben not having
a juggernut offense. Why this shows you how bad our
quarterback he's been since that.

Speaker 8 (01:58:38):
That's what I was trying to shine a light on,
not on Ben having a low number twenty two, but
nobody could even do better than that, and.

Speaker 7 (01:58:45):
He knows that they've got to clean some stuff up,
especially when the defense gives you the day that they
gave you.

Speaker 8 (01:58:51):
I thought that there were about four plays early in
the game, and I don't know if you call them
drops by the letter of the law, but they were
replaced could have been made that they didn't make.

Speaker 2 (01:59:01):
How about the first play of the game John Smith.

Speaker 8 (01:59:03):
John Smith, the couple from Washington, although he stayed with
Darnell Washington, DK had to drop fairly like that that fade.
I mean they could have been a little higher, but yeah,
so still more meat on that offensive bone.

Speaker 6 (01:59:19):
I thought that that I thought DK could have made
a great catch there, but a bad throw by Aaron.

Speaker 8 (01:59:24):
Right, But it was not inconceivable. That play is in
a touchdown, and that was well you pay DK for that.
You had to throw it there because that was there
was single He got very few single opportunities with him, Jim,
give him some room to make the play though, I
let him go up. So I mean, this offense can
do more and this defense maybe is going to not

(01:59:44):
stink after all. So what does that look like going forward?

Speaker 6 (01:59:48):
Look, it's all about what it looks like on Sunday night.

Speaker 2 (01:59:51):
It's consistency.

Speaker 6 (01:59:52):
Yeah, let me see it again. Their identity and turnovers.
This has been the mark fifty two points of the
Tomlin era post two thousand and nine.

Speaker 2 (02:00:03):
Is that right?

Speaker 6 (02:00:05):
When you think you know who they are, they put
in a performance that looks like a different team. They
don't get that consistency.

Speaker 2 (02:00:12):
Ever.

Speaker 5 (02:00:13):
The last time they did was ben prior to the elbow.

Speaker 2 (02:00:19):
Well they had that one year. What was there when
they went But then they go to the playoffs and
get smoked by Blake Bortles. It was either they won
eleven and zero. That was after injury, right, Yeah, that
was late, but that was the COVID year. I think
so was it? I think it was.

Speaker 6 (02:00:35):
I think it was COVID. So I remember watching the
Browns here that Ravens game they played at like four
pm on a Wednesday. Do you remember that? Oh yeah,
and nobody was there. It's like a bunch of people
trying to watch Young and the Restless, and they're like, what.

Speaker 2 (02:00:49):
The what is this crap? And that was like they
were eking games out along the way to that.

Speaker 8 (02:00:57):
One thing about the Colts, they were playing bad teams
prior to yesterday, but they were kicking.

Speaker 2 (02:01:01):
The crap out of them. Yeah they were.

Speaker 6 (02:01:03):
I think they're legit. I just think the Steelers had
a day and they didn't they snuck past the Cardinals.
They got a bad call against the Broncos to beat them. Well,
you know, maybe there was some bad calls before that too.

Speaker 2 (02:01:17):
Yeah, I know, idea. It's hard to say.

Speaker 7 (02:01:19):
And I think, you know, we we we got on
the Steelers fans for selling their tickets the previous Sunday night.

Speaker 5 (02:01:25):
You know who would have done that?

Speaker 7 (02:01:26):
And and I think that they need some they get
some credit for yesterday making it a hostile environment. You know,
I don't know if that game goes exactly that way,
if it's an indye, I think.

Speaker 8 (02:01:40):
Both things can be true. I mean it helps to
have a hostile environment. But they charged a lot of
money for those tickets.

Speaker 6 (02:01:46):
I've never seen this before. The vendors were selling indie
shirts on my way into the game under the trestle
by the uh the t station at Gates c. The
guys are holding up like indie shirts and selling Daniel F.

Speaker 2 (02:02:04):
N Jones saw some of those. They were selling them.

Speaker 5 (02:02:07):
Well, you guys doing here, get at making a book.

Speaker 2 (02:02:11):
That's what it is.

Speaker 30 (02:02:13):
That's how bad it got. By the way, we're having
funerals in the parking lot. Did you not laugh when
you saw Tank Carter at that ceremony at halftime? His attire,
his attire and his cigar that he had. He had
like he had a big cigar. It looked like a
cartoon cigar beer. And I was telling my buddy when
we were lining for a beer watching that. I was like,

(02:02:36):
did you remember the Tank Carter story about his brother?

Speaker 2 (02:02:39):
And he was like no.

Speaker 6 (02:02:40):
And I started telling it and there was people around
us who had not heard it. They're like what, I'm like, yeah, no, dude.
That guy's brother went to jail so he could see
him playing the Super Bowl because he was supposed to
like he broke probation and the judges like, hey, I'm
not letting you do it, and if you go, I'm
putting you in jail for a year.

Speaker 2 (02:02:58):
And he's like, that's cool. And he went to the
Super Bowl so he can see his brother and then
had to go to jail because of it.

Speaker 5 (02:03:06):
That's a fan, that's a brother, that's a that's a moron, I.

Speaker 2 (02:03:10):
Mean, that's a criminals like watch the game screens. Yeah,
it's sometimes it's less of a hassle to do it
that way.

Speaker 2 (02:05:55):

Speaker 6 (02:06:18):
And that Kyle Dugger was going to come in and
perform at an NFL level, for ninety percent of the
snaps three days after he was picked up, and that
with Jalen Ramsey at free safety, things actually looked better
than they had before, and maybe we found a way

(02:06:38):
for the Steelers secondary.

Speaker 2 (02:06:40):
Rob King had just walked in here going, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (02:06:43):
I think a lot of it did have to do
with that defensive line play setting them up for success
in the secondary.

Speaker 2 (02:06:48):
Jair, But.

Speaker 6 (02:06:50):
I thought we were going to be so vulnerable to
what had been an explosive passing attack until yesterday.

Speaker 13 (02:06:58):
Yeah, I'm with you there. I think. I think the
big thing about Kyle Dugger is he didn't notice him
on the football field, which meant he wasn't being exposed
or exploited. You know, they're done a couple of players,
but Kyle, you know, Kyle Dugger is a solid player.
And but the fact that he could step in in
two days and and play, you know, like he had

(02:07:23):
been there for weeks, if not months. Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (02:07:27):
It was.

Speaker 13 (02:07:27):
It was not only a plus. It was a surprise.
We've seen Jalen Ramsey play a lot of different places.
But to me, I still think a lot of it
was what we saw up front, the pressure stopping to
run first and foremost. I mean Jonathan Taylor's longest run
was nine yards, and so doing that, getting the pressure

(02:07:52):
that they did, and some of that pressure of course
forced those turnovers, and you know, and then it helps
that Daniel Jones played like the New York Daniel Jones
yesterday with you know, turning the ball over five times.

Speaker 6 (02:08:04):
Well, I thought he might have had a little PTSD
from the last time he did play here with the
New York Giants, when TJ ended the game against him,
and I think he started to, you know, feel the
ghosts of TJ passed in her footsteps. You know, by
the end of the game, he was making bad throws,
he was getting knocked around, and maybe we just laid

(02:08:25):
a blueprint for other teams. They got the pressure. And
Bill mentioned this earlier. Jared cam Hayward calls the team
out last week basically insults them, and you can't do
that and go out and then not perform at a
high level.

Speaker 5 (02:08:39):
And he went out and led by example yesterday.

Speaker 13 (02:08:42):
Well he did that, but then he's always he's been
doing that every game. But to Billy's point, I think
that is part of it. And I think also in
Aaron Rodgers brought this up about Jalen Ramsey Saturday night
standing up at the team meeting and to sucking impassion
to the team, and he said, you know, it's not

(02:09:02):
easy for a player to do that. Coaches do it
all the time, they're comfortable doing it. But he said he,
you know, he implored them to play with an edge,
and he said he had the room and he said
it even had an impact on him twenty one years
in the league. And I think you know some of that,

(02:09:23):
and he said he just sensed a different attitude, vibe
in the locker room. Energy, I think is the word
he used. And look, I'm not going to sit here
and say he's you know, his his kind of stand
up and win for the gipper or win one for
the gipper type of speech, you know, or Herb Brooks
speech was the reason, but I I you know, he

(02:09:45):
thought that had everyone's attention as well. And so I
think when you challenge players like that, and you know,
one of Mike Comlins's best attributes is his ability to
challenge his and I think maybe a combination of all
those things and playing as poorly as they did last week,

(02:10:09):
and you know, Mike comments it after the game, he goes, look,
we're the same team that's stunk it up last week.
Meaning it wasn't to him anything magical, but you know,
when you pressure when you kit turnovers. And more importantly,
as as average as the offense was, they converted three
of those turnovers three in a row into touchdowns and
so that was a big key to not just settling

(02:10:32):
for field goals. I know they did on the last one.
They got twenty four points off off four of those turnovers.
You know, that's being pretty opportunistic, and I think that
was a big part.

Speaker 2 (02:10:41):
Of it as well, no question.

Speaker 6 (02:10:43):
I mean, Aaron Rodgers, I don't think really had an opportunity.
You know, they got three and out to start the game,
which really got the boo birds gone. I mean that
it really set the stage for an ugly scene at
Akrocuer Stadium yesterday that thankfully they pulled out of that spin.
But they had such short yardage is I couldn't really

(02:11:05):
tell what the offense was trying to do yesterday. You know,
I thought they were going to come in and try
to control the ball and keep Daniel Jones off the field,
and they ended up only giving the ball to Jalen Warren.

Speaker 2 (02:11:16):
How many times was it? Was it a total of.

Speaker 13 (02:11:21):
Yeah, I can't recall the final number.

Speaker 32 (02:11:24):
Yeah, see sixteen rushes yesterday, but only ended up with
thirty one yards two touchdowns though, first rushing touchdown of
the year.

Speaker 5 (02:11:36):
Huh, that didn't make sense to me.

Speaker 2 (02:11:38):
I read that.

Speaker 5 (02:11:38):
I was like, I know, it's not his first touchdown
of the year, but.

Speaker 8 (02:11:42):
First got a lot of them, receiving first two touchdown
game of his career.

Speaker 13 (02:11:47):
You know, Randa, when you look at the way the
game started, Steelers taking the ball with the intention of
we don't want to give them an extra possession. We'll
see if we can do something. They've been fast starters
for the most part. And then the Colts go down
and score after when they get the ball, and then

(02:12:07):
nothing happens again. They would maybe did they kick the
field goal down? But anyway, in the middle of that
second drop, it's fifteen plays, the Colts are going down
the field again and TJ has that strip set.

Speaker 2 (02:12:19):
I changed that kind of changed it.

Speaker 13 (02:12:21):
That changed the game. Yeah, and if the Colts, you know, so,
Colts don't score again until ten minutes to go, eleven
minutes to go in the fourth quarter and to shut
that team down for all that time. You know, the
high scoring team in the league, you know, was big,
But that game could have easily gone the other way.

(02:12:42):
If that fifteen drive fifteen play drive went eighteen or
nineteen plays and they scored a touchdown and now you know,
now they got fourteen, So then we're a shootout.

Speaker 5 (02:12:52):
Then I think the shootout happens, right.

Speaker 13 (02:12:55):
What probably right? That's right? What did you think of
the mistakes happened?

Speaker 6 (02:13:00):
What did you think about the offensive line play yesterday?
I mean the Samalu injury reoccurring. I wasn't sure if
he was going to play or not. I was surprised
he played as much as he did yesterday. You know,
Spencer Anderson seems to comport himself nicely in that spot.
It does hamper their ability to run the fat guy package, though.

Speaker 13 (02:13:18):
Question. And you know and see him all as the
one a veteran, he's kind of the glue with that
offensive line, you know, when he aggravates that peck injury. Yes,
I'm with you, Randall. I was surprised he played, but
when he aggravated it, which I'm assuming is what happened,
which is why he couldn't continue, then that may not
be a good thing. I have not heard about the

(02:13:40):
extent of his injury. We saw him last year, miss
I think three games with the peck injury. So yeah.
I mean, look, they didn't run the ball very well.
It's something they had been doing the last couple of games,
and you know, the pressure, you know, it wasn't as good.

(02:14:00):
The offensive line play wasn't as good as it had
as it has been. But I don't think I don't
think it's reverting back to what we saw the first
two games.

Speaker 6 (02:14:08):
Jerry Doulack part of the Steelers Audio network, which will
be heading out to Los Angeles, California, this weekend as
the Steelers play the Chargers on Sunday Night Football at SOFI.
I mean, the one good collateral effect of last night's
rebound performance by the Steelers is it ensures that SOFI

(02:14:29):
will have Steeler Nation take it over on Sunday Night.

Speaker 2 (02:14:33):
That's right.

Speaker 13 (02:14:33):
And I think the other big thing Randall that I
think someone kind of gets overshadowed, and this is they
beat a team, the best team in the NFL record wise.
I'm not saying they are the best, but record wise,
and that's something we have not seen this team do.
We do not see them beat the upper echelon of
the league, and I think it was important for them
to show, at least in terms of the seven to

(02:14:55):
one Indianapolis Colts, that they're.

Speaker 14 (02:14:57):
Capable of doing.

Speaker 13 (02:14:57):
Now.

Speaker 6 (02:14:58):
Jerry dou Lac always say flag and traffic control bringing
him to you this morning, and uh, maybe those owners
won't be quite as impatient with Mike Tomlin after this chair.

Speaker 13 (02:15:09):
Uh which owners we're talking about.

Speaker 5 (02:15:12):
I was referencing the chat comment you made that made
national news this past week.

Speaker 13 (02:15:17):
Yeah, you know what, I don't understand. I'm sorry, Randall,
I don't understand. I think that was taken out of context,
and I somebody else mentioned that to me. I'll just
say real quickly, I think they asked use he maybe
somebody asks he angry at Mike Tomlin or whatever, And
I said, I think they're they're frustrated with with not
winning a playoff game. But I don't think they're frust

(02:15:40):
I mean, if by extension you want to assume he's
frustrated with Mike Tomlin, but I don't think that's the
case at all. He's never indicated that. I think my
comment was they're frustrating at not winning playoff games, and
so I think that was taken entirely out of context.
And I don't know who did that.

Speaker 2 (02:15:55):
Who would do I heard on the internet? Who would
do that? On the internet?

Speaker 13 (02:16:00):
I heard it was making its rounds. But that's I
just don't know who started that or where that came from.

Speaker 5 (02:16:06):
I did, Okay, see Jerry, I appreciate you that, right.

Speaker 13 (02:16:10):
Yeah, and I'll look both ways for it.

Speaker 6 (02:16:11):

Gun play action pass looking. Here comes the TJ Watt
from the back end, knocks away the ball.

Speaker 3 (02:16:42):
TJ Wat's got it, He's picked it up.

Speaker 4 (02:16:45):
What the strip sack and TJ Watt makes up play
this titler is desperately needed to turn it over.

Speaker 2 (02:16:53):
And that turned the game around. Right there, play the game.

Speaker 6 (02:16:56):
The author of that play call, right here on your
radio home of the Steamler's and the Steelers Audio Network,
Rob King joining us now for a power.

Speaker 2 (02:17:04):
Hour Steers No No, I thought he's going to be
a sour.

Speaker 6 (02:17:14):
This is brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store,
the F one fifty, the official truck of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
I thought Jonathan Taylor was going to drive all over
the Steelers defense yesterday. I thought the secondary was going
to get lit up because of all of the injuries
and having to u reform the the defensive alignment and personnel,

(02:17:34):
and Jalen Ramsey's now playing free safety, a guy we
just picked up is going to be strong safety. And
we just got to hope for the best from Sleigh
and JPJ and Eccles slotting and well he should have
but and then yeah, Corey Trice got hurt. He couldn't
that one. We haven't really talked about it, but oh,
it's driving me crazy.

Speaker 2 (02:17:56):
And lo and behold.

Speaker 6 (02:17:58):
This ended up being the best defensive former performance of
the year, and mostly from the guys down in front
who made it pretty easy for the guys in the
back to do their job.

Speaker 4 (02:18:08):
You know, have never thought of that couplet well, I
guess it's a triplet low and behold. I guess that
you need them all, don't you. You can't just low something.
I guess you could behold something?

Speaker 2 (02:18:16):
Well, is it low like attention exactly? Behold is like yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:18:24):
It used to be yo and behold yea yo and
behold right, and then that changed the microphone check one too.

Speaker 13 (02:18:29):
What is this?

Speaker 6 (02:18:30):
It's just a class of saying shut up and listen, stop,
collaborate and listen.

Speaker 2 (02:18:37):
You know, there's a couple of things.

Speaker 4 (02:18:38):
So, first of all, you know, in the bigger picture,
the Colts had been the first team in the Super
Bowl Super Bowl era that through nine games had allowed
fewer than ten sacks and fewer than five turnovers.

Speaker 2 (02:18:50):
And this Jooers sacked them five times and at six turnovers.

Speaker 4 (02:18:54):
That's amazing. They just dominated the Colts. As you guys know,
I mean, I watch every game, every opponent game before
the Steelers play him. So I watched every Colts game
during the course of the week, and I do watch
it on the condensed version. By the way, there just
there simply would not be enough hours to watch the

(02:19:14):
three hour tell.

Speaker 6 (02:19:15):
Like the scene in Diner where Steve Gutenberg makes his
wife take the Colts test before they can get married.
If she can't pass, they're not getting married. That's you
every week for our opponent. That's me every week for
our opponent, nex Starks, give you the test.

Speaker 4 (02:19:27):
And so it felt like, and again I don't have
any I didn't have the statistics for this, but it
felt like the Colts did a lot of throwing to
set up the run.

Speaker 2 (02:19:36):
Right, throw, get a lead, run the ball, big trouble,
And it felt like they were on.

Speaker 4 (02:19:42):
The road to trying to do that yesterday, except they
forgot they needed to get the lead, and Taylor then
as the game went on, became less and less of
an option.

Speaker 2 (02:19:51):
I mean, he's just a great player, phenomenal runner.

Speaker 4 (02:19:54):
So I think it's a little bit of the game
situation and a little bit of the job the defense did.

Speaker 2 (02:19:59):
They they did a great job on him.

Speaker 6 (02:20:01):
Now I equitted this earlier to when they closed the
Fort Pitt Tunnel and somehow traffic got easier.

Speaker 4 (02:20:09):
Okay, Jalen Ramsey at safety. He's just such a good player,
you know. I mean, he's a great player. He's going
to the Hall of Fame right in all likelihoods, his
career is going to wind up with him in the.

Speaker 2 (02:20:22):
Hall of Fame.

Speaker 4 (02:20:23):
He can play anywhere. He can play in the slot,
he can play outside, he can play at safety. They
have to have him at safety right now, especially with
all the injuries. You know, not only do Sean Elliott,
Jabriel Peppers gets hurt this week. Now you mentioned about
Thornhill Chuck Clark, so they had to what else are
they going to do? Play with ten guys, they had
to put him in.

Speaker 6 (02:20:42):
The point is we're better off like having a less
efficient you know, duo at corners and having him back there.

Speaker 2 (02:20:51):
It's like Minca with some thud. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:20:53):
I think if that was the case, you wouldn't have
traded Minca, you know what I mean. And I think
they want him at corner.

Speaker 2 (02:21:00):
I know they do right now.

Speaker 4 (02:21:01):
It's better with him, It's yes, yes, yes, right now.
It's better with him at safety for sure. And Dougger
came in and did a great job. You know, Douger's
a he's a thumper, like, he's an athletic guy that
can play down in the box, but that's where he
needs to play.

Speaker 2 (02:21:15):
He's a strong safety.

Speaker 6 (02:21:16):
Isn't it interesting though, that something like that where a
guy comes in and you're not complicating it for him.

Speaker 5 (02:21:22):
You're basically saying, you're playing football.

Speaker 6 (02:21:26):
In this position, and we're not throwing anything at you
other than basic responsibilities for somebody playing strong safety right now,
communicate with the guys, have at it, and that guy,
first of all, has the talent and the ability to
come in, communicate, ask questions, figure it out. And they said,
by the end, he was pointing stuff out to people
and he was acting like he had been in that
defense for a long time. Does uncomplicating things for this

(02:21:50):
defense help them all across the board? Like, do you
think what they did yesterday was more complicated than what
they've been trying.

Speaker 2 (02:21:59):
To do in the I don't. I couldn't tell you.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:22:02):
I mean, there were a couple of times when you know,
they had some alignment issues. I was out there counting.
I'm like, I think they only.

Speaker 6 (02:22:08):
Have take on and then we look back, like should
I be here? And thankfully they ran the play and
got a cam bat at it down.

Speaker 4 (02:22:16):
Well, there's also a field goal attempt and I'm counting,
I'm trying to one to two, and then the field goal,
I'm like, do they have twelve out there, I was,
but me the fact that I have to count that,
you know, or think about counting that, So I don't
know about the complication.

Speaker 2 (02:22:29):
I would say this.

Speaker 4 (02:22:31):
So if we've heard other players say we knew exactly
what Steeveds are going to do, right, and that's caused
a big uproar in Pittsburgh. They're not doing enough defensively.
So now they simplify it and we're like, there's the answer.

Speaker 2 (02:22:46):
Well, wait a minute. Last week it wasn't the answer
because everybody knew what they were gonna do.

Speaker 7 (02:22:49):
So in there one on ones, you got to win
your matchups at the end of the day, right, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:22:53):
I think it's a combination of things like the old
The old thing is, you know, it's it's not the
x's and o's, it's a Jimmy's and Joe's. Okay, well
that's true to some degree, but you still need to
be able to You can't just do what the other team,
you know, is expecting you to do and expect to win.
You cannot out talent. If you're doing that, you're expecting

(02:23:15):
your team to out talent the other team. That's not possible.
Every week you can't out talent the other team. You
have to you have to scheme them up as well.
So I understand what you're asking about the simplification and
and you can probably simplify it and still do some
different things.

Speaker 2 (02:23:30):
So I don't know the answer to that. I just
know that you know, for this game, it worked. They
overwhelmed them.

Speaker 21 (02:23:34):
Well.

Speaker 6 (02:23:36):
The reason I am saying that is that it seemed
to me like there were way less substitutions on defense yesterday,
and you saw Peyton Wilson catch a groove and have
his best.

Speaker 2 (02:23:47):
Game of the year yes today, phenomenal, and.

Speaker 6 (02:23:50):
Because Hei Smith phenomenal, because of the Hulcomb injury, you know,
you only had so much flexibility. Harrison comes in and
then they play almost was like a four to three
with the three inside linebackers all right. Keeping the continuity
is what I'm referring to as simple, and I think
it enabled these guys to catch a groove. And you know,

(02:24:11):
I don't underplay the the importance of rhythm on defense,
and I think what they had been doing a lot
this year is maybe too much getting a little too
cute and knocking themselves out of the ability to catch
that rhythm.

Speaker 2 (02:24:26):
That's possible. I mean, it is possible, you know. I
think also, how.

Speaker 5 (02:24:30):
Many sacks do they have yesterday?

Speaker 2 (02:24:32):
Five? Five?

Speaker 6 (02:24:33):
Five sacks and six turnovers? Is a monster defensive day? Yeah,
and I monster. Now it can't be the formula for success, right,
you know, you need to be like the Patriots game.
You can't expect that. You can't expect that to happen
every week.

Speaker 4 (02:24:49):
I do think that at some point maybe you look
around and say, okay, well who are our best eleven?
And I have not seen this knap counts, So I
don't know where Derek Harmon and Kanum Benton were. I
thought Kanu Benton late another great game. Here was the
one of Keanu's specials shown back to pass and Keanu
bet with a sack back inside the twenty yard line
and a fist pump.

Speaker 3 (02:25:11):
This crowd is roaring and act for sure.

Speaker 4 (02:25:13):
He was so good, so good, you know, and he's
got a new career high in sacks already. So I mean,
if I'm looking at the team with everybody hurt right,
and everybody that's not there and Deshaun Elliott out, and
I don't again, I didn't see I didn't see the
god bless you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (02:25:31):
I try to keep that off. I don't know, but
but I just don't feel like I know we're on
the air, but I don't.

Speaker 6 (02:25:37):
That can't pass without it without at These people don't
care about me.

Speaker 2 (02:25:41):
You came through care with the blessing.

Speaker 14 (02:25:43):
Uh so.

Speaker 8 (02:25:46):
Where were we?

Speaker 4 (02:25:46):
Oh yeah, so a defensive personnel. You know, I think
with you, I think that you know, Deshaun Elliett, Deshaun,
I listen.

Speaker 2 (02:25:55):
I can't.

Speaker 4 (02:25:55):
I don't know how many times I can say it.
I think the world is Shawn Elly dis player. I
think he's just a terrific you know. I was talking
to the guys from Baltimore. They said he was a
good player for us, he's better for you. I mean
he's just been he's just been fantastic.

Speaker 2 (02:26:06):
Leader and hilarious, hilarious on social media. Oh yeah, yeah,
he's He's good stuff all the way around. You know.

Speaker 4 (02:26:13):
So you take him out of the equation, Well, now
you're taking out, you know, a really really good player
and other guys that have been injured and nicked up,
and you know, at some point maybe it's you know,
and I know you want to match up and you
want to get different personnel groupings out there, but maybe
with everybody out this was as simple as man, who's
our best twelve thirteen players? You know, forget that, Let's

(02:26:34):
just get him out there as much as we possibly can.

Speaker 2 (02:26:37):
You know, I do know this.

Speaker 4 (02:26:38):
I think Derek Harmon's a really good player. You know,
Cameron Hayward's are really good player. Keanum Benton's a really
good player. Those guys being out there a lot. That
makes me happy when I see those three guys. When
I see three guys with their hand in the dirt,
I'm like, yeah, I like that, you know, because they'll
just and I don't you know, obvious passing situations or whatever.
They could push the pocket back and I listen. I

(02:26:59):
think I think any quarterback would tell you that. The
you know, we always pay attention to those edge guys,
and with good reason because they you know, they're they're
out there and they're supplying the pressure. No quarterback wants
a pocket pushed back in their face. You can't step
up and throw. So those I love those, And I
didn't like I said, I haven't seen the snap counts,
but those guys pushing the pocket back, I thought Cam

(02:27:21):
was really good.

Speaker 2 (02:27:22):
I thought Harmon was really good. I thought Benton was
really good.

Speaker 4 (02:27:25):
You know, again, maybe this was just a case of listen,
we've got to throw our best out there because we
got we have so many injuries and illnesses and other
things on the team.

Speaker 7 (02:27:34):
I think on that side of the ball, that is appropriate.
I think it's the Joe Flacco effect. He comes to Cincinnati,
they have the best players in the world on the
offensive side of the ball. He doesn't even know the
plays and in three weeks they've scored one hundred and
thirteen points. So oversimplification is it only works if you

(02:27:57):
have the horses on that side of the ball and
on the defense on some side of the ball, they
have better players.

Speaker 4 (02:28:03):
On that side of the ball. Yeah, I really like
their I mean I like the personnel they have on defense.

Speaker 2 (02:28:07):
I really do.

Speaker 4 (02:28:08):
By the way, has any team this is a calling
Matt Williamson calling Matt Williams. Has any team ever scored
eighty points in back to back games and lost them both?

Speaker 2 (02:28:18):
No, the sixties that that's out there, Okay, I was
wondering about that.

Speaker 4 (02:28:23):
I'm like, man, is that could Maybe that's never happened,
but it has lost them both.

Speaker 2 (02:28:29):
That's incredible.

Speaker 4 (02:28:30):
You know, in a couple of weeks are going to
come here and they're going to score points probably, right,
you better get that offense fired up and ready to go.
The other thing too, I think that that has not
played in the defense's favor and which eventually has got
to be figured out. I think on this team is
time of possession. Now, look, the Colts don't win the
time of possession either.

Speaker 6 (02:28:50):
They're they're not a good time to they did by
four minutes yesterday, but they're so good, they're so explosive offensively,
you know, Uh, it's your Your defense doesn't have to
do huge amounts of things.

Speaker 4 (02:29:02):
Well, I think that it would behoove this dealer's defense.
You know, if you want to shorten your bench, so
to speak, if you want to have your best players
out there, they need to be out there less. And
that's that's twofold. They have to force more three and outs,
which they haven't done, and the offense has got to
give them more breaks, which it hasn't done.

Speaker 2 (02:29:21):
I think to truly unlock the.

Speaker 4 (02:29:23):
Best of what this defense can do week in and
week out, I mean we saw yesterday the best they
can do. We saw New England the best they can do,
but week in, week out is a little I think
you got to start pushing.

Speaker 2 (02:29:33):
That time of possession.

and the Chargers Sunday night Football Primetime.

Speaker 5 (02:31:17):
After a surprise victory over the Colts.

Speaker 6 (02:31:22):
And I say surprise because I don't think anybody saw
the defensive effort that they got. Mike, if we were
gonna win, it was going to be forty eight to
forty seven.

Speaker 2 (02:31:32):
Or forty seven minutes a time of possession something.

Speaker 13 (02:31:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (02:31:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:31:37):
I thought if they had any chance, it would take
something really out of character, and instead they just kind
of played it straight up and played better than the
Colts did.

Speaker 2 (02:31:47):
Sports.

Speaker 7 (02:31:48):
Well, I mean, it was incredibly out of character for
the Colts, just as far as like how well they've
done protecting Danny Dimes and the ball.

Speaker 8 (02:31:56):
But it wasn't a gimmick defense or a crazy strategy
some sort of completely They weren't Rocky.

Speaker 2 (02:32:02):
He didn't switch the fighting right handed or anything.

Speaker 6 (02:32:05):
You know.

Speaker 8 (02:32:05):
They just kind of went out there and said, let's
go sports that are brought to you by Bridgeville A Pliants.
A lot of splash on defense, and that is the
headline generating development from Steelers twenty seven Colts twenty But
it really, first and foremost came down to the basics.
Stop the run. That's the Steelers' goal every week on defense.

(02:32:28):
Sometimes they do it, sometimes they don't. Yesterday they did
it against an MVP candidate running back in Jonathan Taylor.

Speaker 2 (02:32:36):
That wasn't lost on Mike Tomlin.

Speaker 16 (02:32:40):
I can't say enough about the defensive effort to minimize
the runner. I don't think you slowed that group down
unless you minimize the runner. And we were able to
do that, and I think that's why we were able
to get him in some one dimensional circumstances, create some pressure,
get some sacks, and the turnovers that go along with that.
But it started with minimizing their dynamic runner. Is that

(02:33:00):
he's dynamic Kittinger. You pointed it out.

Speaker 6 (02:33:02):
The turnovers that they capitalized on put them in a
position where they were going to be able to stop
him because they needed to move the ball and score.

Speaker 4 (02:33:10):
Yeah, once you got the lead, and then you kind
of minimized what he was able to do. He's a
great player. I mean, he's just a he's you know,
and luckily we didn't see him at its best. If
you ever get a chance to watch him in another
game and see him at his best, he's he's phenomenal
to watch.

Speaker 2 (02:33:23):
He's he's really incredible. He's been healthy.

Speaker 4 (02:33:25):
He was an m v P front runner, but I
don't know if he's an MVP front runner anymore.

Speaker 2 (02:33:30):
I changed, Yeah, that might have that might have knocked
him the way.

Speaker 5 (02:33:32):
If it's not him, who's who is it going to be?

Speaker 2 (02:33:35):
Right now? Who's your front runner? Right now? Baker? Still?

Speaker 6 (02:33:39):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (02:33:40):
You see me play in the last couple of weeks.
I don't know. He kind of choked it yesterday, So
I don't know who's true. Patrick Mahomes, you couldn't come
on dude, with.

Speaker 5 (02:33:52):
You, I got it die there you go now, I
got Patrick Mahomes, Drake May.

Speaker 2 (02:33:59):
Just less.

Speaker 8 (02:33:59):
So day against Tennessee, Taylor had twelve carries for one
hundred and fifty three yards, two rushing touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (02:34:07):
He averaged twelve point eight per carry.

Speaker 8 (02:34:09):
He also had a receiving touchdown, which was really a
nineteen yard rushing touchdown because it was just one of
those in the backfield push passes, almost like them forward
hand off. Yesterday, fourteen carries for forty five yards, no touchdowns,
three point two per attempt, and once they got him
taken care of the rest of it kind of took

(02:34:29):
care of itself.

Speaker 2 (02:34:31):
I think we just came out and we did what
we know we can do this week.

Speaker 18 (02:34:36):
We came out and we obviously we stopped the run
and that's where it starts, and then our culture came alive.
You know, we had five turnovers I think six, So
I think when we do that, man, we're amazing defense.
And so we just got to put more performances like
that together, and I'm confident we're going to continue to
stack this and play like this every week from here
on now.

Speaker 2 (02:34:56):
So we just got to complete to play like.

Speaker 5 (02:34:57):
That our culture came alive.

Speaker 8 (02:34:59):
I love that they have those turnover Culture t shirts
and then give out different colors for how many.

Speaker 2 (02:35:03):
You get and all that stuff.

Speaker 8 (02:35:05):
I don't know if they're gonna play like this each
in every week, but definite step in the right direction.
I'm convinced is maybe too strong a word, but leaning
heavily to using fewer players in the secondary, even when
they're healthy. And Ramsey's got to play free safety. I
know he's affect. I know he's for the time being

(02:35:28):
being like the rest of the year. Eccles is a
good slot. It's not great, but he's good. And I'd
rather have stuff not breaking down miserably on the back
end than if I got to give up a little Ramsey.

Speaker 2 (02:35:44):
Around the ball rushing off the slot. So be it.
They got other guys that can rush.

Speaker 7 (02:35:51):
I just I agree, especially with the amount of splash
they've given up deep in the middle of the field.

Speaker 2 (02:35:55):
Just can't have it.

Speaker 8 (02:35:57):
Hats off to Kyle Duggar, did his job. You know,
when Elliott comes back. Elliott comes back, but in the
meantime he looks like he can handle that, and then
that The lingering question to me is is Darius Slay
still a starting quarterback moving forward, either because of health
or ineffectiveness.

Speaker 6 (02:36:15):
I mean, the fans, how many times you see him
like flailing at a ball over his head?

Speaker 8 (02:36:23):
Well, he saw one Thornhill do that against Green Bay
and then you didn't see him no more.

Speaker 2 (02:36:27):
Yeah, no more wildcat.

Speaker 6 (02:36:32):
Kind of along those lines. I mean, that's self preservation.
At some point, having Corey Trice back would make that
way easier. Yeah, Well is he done for like his career?
How did he come back off the injured list?

Speaker 2 (02:36:43):
He's not been off the injured list.

Speaker 8 (02:36:45):
He's in the window, the twenty one day window, and
he suffered an injury last week. And the injury I
don't know this. He was limited in practice because of
the knee. I don't think his leg's gonna get amputated
or anything. But it's it's another nagging, yep, failing of
his health, which seems to happen constantly the boat Benett.

Speaker 5 (02:37:04):
But did he even have one more than one practice
before he got hurt.

Speaker 2 (02:37:08):
It was a second.

Speaker 6 (02:37:10):
And now because he's in the window, he has to
be healthy in time because of the first injury.

Speaker 2 (02:37:18):
Well, they started once you start the twenty one day window.

Speaker 5 (02:37:21):
Right, you have twenty one days to get healthy.

Speaker 8 (02:37:23):
Right, you have to be activated at the end of
that window or you're done for the year.

Speaker 6 (02:37:28):
And the knee injury may keep him from being activated
that I don't know. They can't designate it as a
separate injury.

Speaker 2 (02:37:33):
I don't know anything about the knee injury. I think
I read that well.

Speaker 8 (02:37:36):
He's probably readly a lot of stuff that's I believe
it's correct.

Speaker 7 (02:37:41):
Is there any chance that they trade Sleigh because last
week we had talked about him not practicing for personal reasons.
Maybe a quiet benching, maybe if possible, like shelving him
until they condish him.

Speaker 8 (02:37:51):
Yeah, that got my attention, and I think he would
be tradeable. The Ravens just traded Jayir Alexander who can
stay healthy and can't play anymore. It's a corner start leg,
But do the Steelers have a better option? If you
play Eccles out there, then who's your who's your slot.

Speaker 5 (02:38:11):
At Coles? I don't know who your slot is because.

Speaker 8 (02:38:14):
If you move Ramsey off of free safety, now you
got your back to the don't have a free safety thing.

Speaker 35 (02:38:18):
Call him Beanie Bishop back up. I don't trust him,
but it seems like they went tinyso teeny bishop out
of their way not to have Beanie be the nickel.

Speaker 8 (02:38:31):
You know, like they got all these guys who could
play nickel instead of Beanie, but they didn't get enough
free safety without Minca.

Speaker 2 (02:38:38):
So I think.

Speaker 8 (02:38:39):
Ramsey's the natural, you know, you know, he can be
a deterrent back there, not necessarily the playmaker, but.

Speaker 2 (02:38:48):
That that helps too, right, I mean missing on thorn
Hill hurts big.

Speaker 8 (02:38:55):
Yeah, So they still got some stuff to work out.
We'll see if they can work it out. A couple
notes on the Chargers, your next opponent. They beat the
Titans yesterday twenty seven to twenty. They did so despite
giving up a twenty four yard pick six and a

(02:39:15):
sixty seven yard punt return for a touchdown. Tennessee also
had six sacks. Left tackle Joe Alt left the game
in the second quarter with an ankle injury.

Speaker 2 (02:39:27):
This is a big, big deal to like.

Speaker 8 (02:39:32):
All, he missed three games in the middle of the
season and the Chargers lost two of them.

Speaker 2 (02:39:39):
That's huge to Washington and to Indianapolis. I will take it.

Speaker 8 (02:39:43):
We're season they're having Justin Herbert was leading the league
in passing a couple of weeks ago. I don't know
if he still is or not, but uh, Hardball wants
to run the ball, and even though he's out of
running backs, he still wants to run the ball.

Speaker 2 (02:39:56):
And they've been running it effectively.

Speaker 5 (02:39:58):
Yeah, he's now all of a sudden.

Speaker 8 (02:40:01):
Hardball also wants to illegally tape the other teams and
steal their signals, but.

Speaker 2 (02:40:05):
They're not doing that once. They're not to Kamani Videll.

Speaker 4 (02:40:09):
They'll get Hampton back eventually, but if you remember da
had Rashaan Slater got hurt, they signed into a massive
contract and like the next day he got hurt.

Speaker 8 (02:40:16):
I think I'd rather have a corps videl. I think
he's dead. He's dead, naugy hurt yep.

Speaker 2 (02:40:24):
Rest of the.

Speaker 4 (02:40:24):
Hampton back not back for a couple more days. That's
why I think that's part. You know, they still have
a very good receiving corps. Gadston looks like he's been
a real fine to tight end for them, and rookie
out of Syracuse.

Speaker 8 (02:40:36):
I believe three good receivers good out of Syracuse. Uh,
that's gonna be steel crowd. I think after the win
yesterday works for me. It might have been anyway. But
and it'll probably be the type of Steeler crowd that
just shows up to cheer for the Steelers because it'll
get to do it every day. Yeah, it might not
be the type of crowd like yesterday's just shows up just.

Speaker 2 (02:40:57):
Waiting go ahead, basically off one time.

Speaker 7 (02:41:00):
You know, you don't think there'll be a funeral for
the defense and the parking lot.

Speaker 2 (02:41:03):
Of so FI. I don't.

Speaker 8 (02:41:05):
I don't even that's funny. Yeah, but the boy, that
vibe in the stadium, Man, you've been there to it.
You didn't go yesterday, Bill.

Speaker 2 (02:41:11):
No, I didn't.

Speaker 7 (02:41:12):
I mean I felt the vibe around the stadium. It
was a tailgate that it felt like ominous.

Speaker 8 (02:41:18):
You could smell it almost like it was like, man, dude,
it was acrid. Yeah, that's that's acrid. Yeah, ties in
line with by smelling an analogy. Yeah, yes, yeah, it
was weird and it turned quick back.

Speaker 2 (02:41:31):
I mean once they started winning.

Speaker 7 (02:41:33):
Gay, I mean they go, they start the game going
three and out twice and then they can't capitalize on
the muff punt.

Speaker 2 (02:41:42):
Give up a fake punt.

Speaker 8 (02:41:43):
Let's just start the game three and out, but take
the ball, Okay, to start the game three, Like, really,
I just.

Speaker 36 (02:41:49):
Want to I just want to point out that everyone's
feeling a little bit better about your Steelers right now,
and maybe take a little walk with me and imagine
that you have the football team that you saw loudlast
night guaranteed to play that way going forward.

Speaker 5 (02:42:06):
Chargers Sunday night.

Speaker 8 (02:42:08):
You're scared nonna play like that every game?

Speaker 2 (02:42:14):
I'm saying, playing like that every game? Scared anybody.

Speaker 6 (02:42:17):
Bengals November sixteenth, Bengals at Atroture, scared of them, No,
a little bit. The Bears November twenty third, Let's see,
this is what you do, and it's kind a mistake.

Speaker 2 (02:42:32):
The Bills, the Bills, I'm scared of the Bill.

Speaker 11 (02:42:35):
Scared Ravens Uh huh, I mean I'm scared.

Speaker 12 (02:42:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:42:40):
Did you see any of the Bills Chiefs game? Yeah? Yeah,
they're not a past right, and they were in the
home everybody down. I thought we're going Vince Giraldi there.
At first, who was that Clark Griswold at that hotel bar?

Speaker 6 (02:42:55):
I wanted something that was a little, uh like more
Girl from Epanima, But that popped out then I just
went with it. Yeah, No, no, it's I missed.

Speaker 7 (02:43:04):
You know what, when Clark put on his white shoes
for the first time and went down to the bar.
That's that's kind of how I felt. I'm ready for anything,
love for sale.

Speaker 11 (02:43:13):
I am still nervous about.

Speaker 12 (02:43:16):
I am still nervous about the Bengals because Joe Flacco
still put up for seventy Yesterday they.

Speaker 7 (02:43:21):
Lost and off they scored one hundred and thirteen points
since he's been there.

Speaker 5 (02:43:26):
How about if you're the Browns, you're just like, look at.

Speaker 2 (02:43:29):
Him, punted on their season with more than ten games
to go.

Speaker 6 (02:43:36):
Power Hour Steeler Talk with Rob King right now, your
Voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers, brought you by clear View
Clearview Federal Credit Union. I U buddy of mine drove
me down to the game and we left.

Speaker 2 (02:43:49):
Late, and I'm like, oh, dude, we are going to
hit traffic. Then you didn't, did you? None?

Speaker 6 (02:43:57):
And I was like, uh, oh, spaghetti o. Why because
because that means people aren't down their party in. I
thought there's gonna be five thousand no shows. There were.

Speaker 2 (02:44:14):
There were some no shows, man, not many.

Speaker 6 (02:44:16):
I mean, the attendance doesn't always reflect how many people
actually go in, right, No, it does okay, sixty six
and sixty seven. We were one person away from doing
six sixty six, So that's pretty.

Speaker 7 (02:44:30):
Good about that performance. Though from the Chef boy Ar defense.

Speaker 5 (02:44:34):
Bill, there was like the parking lots no vibe.

Speaker 6 (02:44:38):
Like the pregame felt like Mike said, people were coming
not to celebrate. Oh we come, Yeah, we come not
to celebrate you, Caesar, but.

Speaker 2 (02:44:48):
To bury you.

Speaker 11 (02:44:50):
Well, there was a funeral for the defense.

Speaker 6 (02:44:53):
I I actually hope the players saw that, and I
wonder if, like they knew the Stealer fans were pissed
that I'm up to minds with that. Like, on one hand,
I think it was funny just all the stuff they did,
but also like, come on, man, I.

Speaker 7 (02:45:05):
Mean I was I was looking for an angle at
the tailgate at the end, and I came out there
and I said, hey, I see a lot of Colts
fans here, and all the Steelers fans booed them, and
I said, you've had a really nice season, but it
all stops today.

Speaker 2 (02:45:18):
And everyone went.

Speaker 7 (02:45:19):
Crazy, and I go, and I know what you guys
are thinking, how can you be this confident?

Speaker 2 (02:45:22):
Well I'm not. It's called manifesting.

Speaker 7 (02:45:25):
That's when you talk something into existence that you haven't
seen before. So if you're thinking that you're going to
throw the ball twenty three times to your star receiver
and he's gonna catch at sixteen of those times and
the sixteenth time he's gonna be wide open, Well I
can see how you'd think that, actually, because that has happened,
but not today.

Speaker 6 (02:45:44):
Steelers twenty seven Colts twenty more with Rob King when
we returned.

Speaker 2 (02:45:47):
Starks for my friends at Clearview Federal Credit Union.

Speaker 1 (02:45:50):
Clearview is here to help you reach your financial goals
at support argument.

Speaker 6 (02:45:54):
Yeah, your radio home at the Pittsburgh Steelers, why don't
you point five dve Rob King with us in a
power hour of Steeler Talk and the twenty seven to
twenty victory giving new life to the twenty five Pittsburgh Steelers,
and Mike Tomlin has his seat cooled down considerably.

Speaker 2 (02:46:11):
Which twenty five has new life?

Speaker 5 (02:46:13):
Well, I'll enumerate them later, twenty twenty five Steelers, I meant,
but oh, Mike, both.

Speaker 6 (02:46:20):
Austin and Tomlin's seat cooled down considerably because a great
bounce back from a couple of weeks in which the
defense was the joke of the NFL. Rob and there's
no I don't think I can take away too much
from the offense yesterday because so much of it was
geared around responding to these turnovers in short fields.

Speaker 2 (02:46:40):
They did convert it.

Speaker 6 (02:46:43):
I don't know how much of a game plan they
were able to execute offensively, because circumstantially they were in
score now mode.

Speaker 5 (02:46:50):
Like where was their longest drive yesterday?

Speaker 2 (02:46:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:46:54):
I think was it the one before the turnover in
the firem two point firemoth touchdown?

Speaker 2 (02:46:58):
It might have been. I probably have it here, the
one before that. Yeah, let me look up the drive chart.

Speaker 7 (02:47:03):
But to your point, they were playing on a short
field all day.

Speaker 6 (02:47:06):
Yeah, you know they only had two hundred and twenty
five yards offense or something like that. Well they you know,
they do a really good job and scored twenty seven
points of playing to win that game. Like having some adaptability,
They're not just like look at the Cincinnati Bengals. They're
just gonna come out and score scorse scores, scores, scorts,
scorse s courts.

Speaker 4 (02:47:22):
The only way they can win. They can't win any
other way. They're one and two trying to do that.
Unfortunately one came against the Steelers, but you know when
you when you look back at you know, this mess
so so and again, I'm not trying to rewrite history.
I'm just trying to say this is a weird. This
is a stranger. So Thursday night, right, you go out
on the road. Cincinnati's been doing this everybody now, right,
plus short week on the road, division opponents never good thing, right,

(02:47:44):
And then I still go back to this. I was
still thinking they were leading the Packers. I mean, it's
hard to remember when you were walking back, you know,
feet drag into our cars late Sunday night, like, you know,
feeling like the Steelers just got blown out.

Speaker 2 (02:47:59):
If the Steelers taken I know, if ifs and butts
blah blah blah, just.

Speaker 4 (02:48:03):
Do this take If they take the second, the opening
drive of the second half and march it down the
field and score touchdown, it's twenty three seven.

Speaker 2 (02:48:11):
That game is over. It's over.

Speaker 4 (02:48:14):
That didn't happen, so I I you know, every game's
got two or three plays that happened here or there.

Speaker 6 (02:48:19):
The longest drive was fifty six years. Yeah, that was
the one before they got to turnover and the fireman's touchdown.
I don't know, but I mean, look around the NFL.
What do you make of any team? I'm finally like, okay,
the Lions are good.

Speaker 4 (02:48:32):
Then they lose to the Vikings at home, and I'm like, well, okay,
the Chiefs are they Look, I know that scores at
seven points.

Speaker 2 (02:48:39):
I did not think that was not a seven point game.

Speaker 6 (02:48:42):
They make that field goal and there's nothing to worry
about at the engine, right.

Speaker 2 (02:48:46):
Well, it's it's a weird year, man.

Speaker 4 (02:48:49):
Just you know, they say in the NCAA tournament, survive
in advance, survive in advance, and I and it's that's
always true, but this year, I just I every week
I'm like, who's good?

Speaker 2 (02:48:59):
I don't know. I don't know who the elite teams are?
Well and Green Bay losing.

Speaker 4 (02:49:05):
Carolina look dead in the water a week ago, and
I know they didn't have Bryce Young, but still, man,
my goodness, gracious.

Speaker 2 (02:49:13):
That is your calling guard. I love it.

Speaker 6 (02:49:14):
Due Yeah, goodness, gracious, We're gonna we're gonna be selling
T shirts, My goodness, gracious. Uh.

Speaker 4 (02:49:25):
The other one, I get up, people get on me
for like I feel like the oldest man my age
in America.

Speaker 2 (02:49:30):
I actually say, Oopsie, Daisy.

Speaker 7 (02:49:32):
Would be like, did you just say I'm not during
the broadcast.

Speaker 6 (02:49:35):
I don't know if I said no, that isn't really
that's actually a cornerback for Jalen Smith.

Speaker 2 (02:49:42):
Have you ever dropped Heavens to Betsy on on a broadcast? No,
I don't think I've ever maybe even dropped that in
real life. Really, Yeah, maybe you need to start all right, So.

Speaker 6 (02:49:52):
Now you get a pretty feel good effort for the
defense to hang their hat on. Like Peyton Wilson said
after the game, we can go home and enjoy Sunday
night now and not sit there obsessing over what went
wrong and then focus on the Chargers for next week.
That Joe All injury looms large mic proceage for them.

Speaker 8 (02:50:10):
Yeah, it's a big deal. Yeah, but you know, everybody's
got to deal with that kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:50:13):
They're banged up, and that's again too. So we talk
about the Steelers and the injuries. No sympathy the Colts.
By the way, look, man, their top three corners from
the beginning of the season, we're all gone. They got
one back yesterday and Jalen Jones, but you know, one
of their starting linebackers out there. I don't have any
sympathy for the Steelers. You're down to and the and
the Steeler shouldn't have any sympathy for the Chargers. You know,

(02:50:34):
you gotta find a way to win. You got injuries,
you gotta find a way to So look, I understand,
Deshan Ellie, I understand that's a big injury. But you
gotta find a way to win. You can't, Well, we're injured,
so we're gonna no, you can't. And they responded and
they won the game. So we'll leave with this one.
Was yesterday a bigger win for the players or the coaches?
For the Steelers. Oh, for the players, I don't know.

(02:50:57):
I mean, you know, listen, the Steelers are about stability.
I don't know whether any coaches are in trouble or not.

Speaker 2 (02:51:03):
In trouble.

Speaker 6 (02:51:04):
You got I'm not even talking about for job security.
I'm just talking about for confidence going forward. Some of
the national noise, some of the local noise, and even
performance Bill you.

Speaker 8 (02:51:15):
Know, like Randy to your point, if they last week
after the Packers game, the question of Mike Tomlin was
are you gonna fire Terrell Austin? If they would have
had another crappy performance, the question would have been, why
are you not firing ter, right, I think it was.

Speaker 2 (02:51:33):
And his answer was telling, Right, I don't think those.

Speaker 8 (02:51:36):
Guys like I don't think Tomblin feels the hot seat.
I really don't know the fans are thinking how they're thinking.

Speaker 2 (02:51:43):
But that was a big game for the coaches. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:51:47):
Plus, you don't want to get in that Canada situation
where there's just a tsunamiti in, a tsunami of negativity
cascading down and it makes it harder to do anything positive.

Speaker 2 (02:51:57):
It just it just does. And it's not just the fans.
It was national media.

Speaker 7 (02:52:01):
There were several different and analysts this whole week leading
up to this game saying that this is the.

Speaker 2 (02:52:08):
Worst Steelers defense they've ever seen.

Speaker 8 (02:52:10):
And you ask these guys about it, this all. I
don't pay any attention to the media. Then you have
a game like yesterday and you hear rogers talk about
the defense.

Speaker 2 (02:52:17):
Oh they were getting crushed. They really were sponded. They
all know.

Speaker 6 (02:52:21):
I don't pay attention to social Area six seven anyways.

Speaker 4 (02:52:27):
But you know what, all those thirty point games that
they've given up, I mean, that can't happen, you know,
So that's what's gonna happen, right, that's more of the business.

Speaker 2 (02:52:36):
You give up thirty plus points. I mean they had
that run.

Speaker 4 (02:52:39):
Remember that three game roam where they allowed fourteen point
seven points per game, right, and they won three games
in a row, and we're like, there's the defense. Well,
I'll tell you what, man, if you give up thirty
points a game, you're gonna hear it.

Here's Tom Opperman.

Speaker 23 (02:53:56):
The Steelers defense paved the way to the team's twenty
seven to twenty victory over the Indian Appolis Colts in
their number one offense Sunday afternoon at Akroscher Stadium. The
defense was all over Colts quarterback Daniel Jones, sacking him
five times, hitting him six more times, and picking.

Speaker 2 (02:54:09):
Him off three times.

Speaker 23 (02:54:10):
The Steelers got off to a slow start in the game,
and the Colts had a seven to zering lead and
were driving in the second quarter, threatening to add on.

Speaker 2 (02:54:16):
But then TJ.

Speaker 23 (02:54:17):
Watt struck to provide the jolt that the team needed
strip sacking Daniel Jones and recovering the fumble. The Steelers
offense would capitalize on the ensuing drive to tie the game,
and the team got rolling from there. Inside linebacker Peyton
Wilson had a monster day on that Steelers defense, racking
up fourteen total tackles, which not only led the Steelers
but was the most in the entire game, and he
picked off Daniel Jones for one of the three interceptions

(02:54:38):
thrown by Jones on the day. Outside linebacker Jack Sawyer
and cornerback Joey Porter Junior were the recipients of the
other two Jones picks, both of those gentlemen's first of
the season and Sawyer's first interception of his career. The
splash plays returning to the Steelers defense and limiting the
NFL's leading rusher, Jonathan Taylor to just forty five yards
on fourteen carries, were the main factors.

Speaker 5 (02:54:58):
In the Steelers victory, improving to five and three on
the season. Tom Opferman with this Dealers report.
