Speaker 1 (00:05):
Snaptain Lamar Jackson rush coming from the backside.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
He's hit her, take it down.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It's Heismith with the sack back at the thirty eight
yard line, and.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
That will do it.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
The Steelers come to M and T Bank Stadium and
win twenty seven to twenty two, and they are back
in first place by themselves in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Nor the author of that play call here on the
Steelers Audio Network on the flagship DVE. Joining us now
Rob King for a power hour of Steeler Talk. This
first half hour brought to you by Ford, your neighborhood
Ford Store. The F one fifty is the official truck
of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kinger. Who what a classic
(00:49):
Baltimore Pittsburgh matchup that was yesterday. It had all of
the elements that we've become accustomed to in this one.
It ain't over till it's over. It goes down to
the last play. There's always a controvertall play in there somewhere.
Mark Andrews screws up on fourth down. But yeah, he
didn't know he screwed up. I don't think you know,
because he had DeAndre Hopkins just sitting there behind him
(01:10):
for a touchdown, but you know, looked like it was
thrown to him. I mean, Lamar's gonna put a little
more air on that baby, probably gets there, although Joey
Porter was closing.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
But still yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
But Harbaugh being pissed and Tomlin walking off the field
of Victor in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I love to see all of that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
What I really liked about it it was a response to,
as we keep categorizing it, a very tumultuous week in
Pittsburgh for Mike Tomlin and the defense especially, and the offense,
I mean really just the whole team, and all three
of those things seemed to bounce back nicely against their
(01:49):
division rivalry, rivalry rival in Baltimore. The defense seemed really
well coached up, offense took shots right away, and you know,
I disagree with the way that ran the fourth quarter.
I would have liked to see them be a little
more aggressive there, but you can't argue with the final product,
right they won, and you know, the the uh, the
(02:12):
fact is that they had four games that were similar
to this one coming out of the half Seattle, Green Bay, Buffalo, Chicago,
in which they had the lead and had the ball,
And think about that. There's seven and six right now.
And you know, I'm throwing out the game against Cincinnati
in which you got a late lead. You got the
(02:33):
lead with two and a half minutes, you had to
lead finally in that game. Aren't you supposed to win
a couple of those games? That's that's how you draw
it up. Hey, let's have the lead. They get the
ball first, but we have the lead at halftime, and
then we get the ball to begin the second half.
That's that's what you want as a team and as
a coach. Shouldn't you win a couple of those games?
(02:53):
Chicago Green Bays? Green Bay were up by nine. Well,
that's another thing I liked about yesterday is winning the
coin toss, deferring and then knowing that the onus is
on you to come out better than you have been
so far this year.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
And they scored twice in the third quarter. Yeah. Yeah,
so that's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
And you know, one of the things that I was
wondering about this week and talking of with Max on
our radio show is that is it possible because neither
team both teams had had shown elements right of being good,
but neither team had consistently displayed those elements like there's
been times in which the Studers threw the ball over
the field. There's times in which they've ran the ball
(03:35):
over the field. There's times in which they've stopped the run.
There's times in which they've been run upon. They hasn't
felt complete. The statistics are very very strange, or at
the bottom of the league in some categories, the top
of the league and the others. It's not like this
was a six and sixteen that was mediocre against the run,
mediocre against the pass, mediocre throwing the ball. No, they
(03:57):
were elite in some categories and at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's it's it's been a mystifying season.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
So to be able to come out and do that
and maybe use that as a little bit of a
spark to to play more consistently down the stretch. I mean,
you tell me who the super team is in the AFC,
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Or the NFL.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Broncos maybe one ten in a row, yeah, or the
Patriots the team and Steers went up to Foxboro and.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Beat right thanks to five turnovers, right, but you still
beat him, right? Yeah? All right. So one thing.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
We've not talked a lot about today was the attrition
of this one O.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Three concussions, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Eckles was checked out for one, and you really saw
what the scope of the offense is when Darnell Washington
went out, and what it is without him seems much
more narrow. Really had a hard time running the ball
without mount Washam yeah in there.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, and they tried Spencer Anderson seemed to be out
there a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I haven't seen the snap counts yet, but he was,
you know, trying to get the run in game going,
you know, it was I thought. One of the other
things about this game was that, you know, Aaron Rodgers
has been criticized and there was an article written about
how you know after this loss against Buffalo when, of
course the team is that it's natter Now. I hope
(05:17):
we can say that if it wasn't the Chargers game. Yeah,
and you know he's old that he doesn't have it anymore,
and I'm thinking, I'm reading that article, I'm like, Okay,
I understand what you're saying. In the last couple of games,
he hasn't been as sharp, and of course against Buffalo
it's playing with the fractured wrist, but he hasn't looked
as sharp but there there have been moments this year
where he's looked phenomenal. I mean phenomena that he looked
(05:40):
phenomenal yesterday. I thought he played great, even in the
fourth quarter, but I mean having a duck it underneath
a Mike Green sack alling out and throwing one.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That that that I thought Calvin caught.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And I think that was the play where Calvin uh
there was originally called the and that was you know,
look at they they didn't have the right personnel out
there to snap the ball quickly, and I had that
annoyed Aaron Rightley, so right just the fact that he
played the way he did, the fact that I think
on the air I called it a bootleg, but it
really wasn't his touchdown run. He went back and he
just looked and there was nobody in the left the
(06:14):
ring and John.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Who fell down. Yeah okay, so yeah, John fell down
and he was just looked and took off, took off
and ran.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I thought he looked more agile yesterday than he has
in the last three weeks. Like I think that the
criticism of him was fair in the last few weeks.
I thought he was hearing the footsteps a lot. He
was getting rid of the ball, and he was stepping
up into the pocket and kind of getting a little nervous.
Things that we expect that he can handle. It seemed
like all the sudden he was at times trying to
(06:42):
do too much allow Russell Wilson an other times scared
that he was about to get crushed, and he felt
it looked like he felt much more comfortable yesterday. And
I'm wondering how much of that had to do with
havingn MVS and Adam feeling in there running routes and
drawing some attention away from guys. I don't know. I
don't know if that was a factory. I don't think
he Neither one of them had a catch. Did they
didn't matter? Had NVS had one one target?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I make the catch? Yeah, yeah, was it who had
to catch? Fling had one catch? I think something I
don't I don't, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But I think he was feeling his oats a little bit,
knowing he could get the ball to DK.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I thought it was because I watched something on ESPN
that Hasselbeck was saying that the Ravens did not bring pressure.
So I don't know if they were dropping back into
coverage and hoping that that that we can cover these
receivers and we're gonna make picks.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Or anything like that.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I think some of the reasons that the that the
offensive line and pass protection looked so good is because
they weren't I don't think they were blitzing a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
They weren't bringing up the heat. Well, they certainly weren't
at full strength.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I mean with Roder Jones being on the I R
and then you had lose on Pete to uh Dylan Cook.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Who you know, with a little bit of help didn't
do so bad, but he did. He only took one
hit yesterday and didn't get sacked.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Right, Yeah, you wonder why Hardbo didn't dial up a
little bit more pressure there. So to me, I mean,
if you're looking like I remember talking to people after
the Cincinnati game, because I was talking to people in
Cincinnati wondering why there weren't remember the Steelers going to
that game four and one before the game, was like,
why aren't more people picking the Steelers to be better?
Because I thought they were going to be a better
(08:15):
team than they were a year ago. I thought they
were they were ten and seven a year ago. Thought
they'd upgraded a quarterback. He had three draft choices last
year who basically didn't play, including your first round pick
another draft class. He traded for DK Metcalf, you trade
for Jalen Ramsey. I thought, Okay, this team should be better,
and I think some of the perception was, well, where's
Aaron Rodgers? And then after the game in Cincinnati, I thought,
(08:38):
how could anybody? I mean, he he looked phenomenal against Cincinnati, phenomenal.
And then there's been some ups and downs. I thought,
my biggest takeaway from yesterday one of them. I guess,
you know, winning the game is number one. I just
thought he looked great. I just thought, if you have
faith that the Steelers can do something in the in
the playoffs, that's what It's the most important position in sports.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And he looked I just thought he looked great, absolutely great.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The only times he didn't is when he was under dress,
which I mean, look, you know, by that barometer, Lamar
was garbage when they were getting to him.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You know, he escaped a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
They could not bring Lamar Jackson down much as they tried,
but it really disrupted the offense. Nineteen to thirty five
for him, but I agree with you on Rogers. It
looked like he was one week more healed with that
risk too, And I know that he said he called
an audible the day before and went rogue and had
them recast it with a softer cast so he was
(09:33):
able to go under center more often. Although he's got
you know, he's got a tremendous pain tolerance, like you
know that dude, he's he's tough. You know, he's not
only not only gifted, not only in his prime. That
the best throw over of football I've ever seen in
my life. And by the way, you know, when you
think about like the throw at the end of the
(09:54):
Cincinnati game, like traveled seventy yards in the air. He
made a throw to Pat Fryarmouth which Pat didn't catch
against Seattle.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, that's the best throw I've.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Seen all year by any by any quarterback on the
right side, where he just, oh my goodness, rolling right
and dropping it in a bucket sixty yards downfield. He
fell down when he threw it because he had to
put everything behind it and to have it land.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It was right on target with Pat.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Pat a guy like that put Pat in the doghouse
and he never got out of it. I don't know
if I don't know if that was the case, but
I my point on Rogers is the arm talent is
still significant and there's still a lot of athleticism there.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It was.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It didn't look like it against the Chargers, and it
didn't look like it against the Bills, but it looked.
It's looked like it, and it didn't look like it
against the Jets. After the game Sea my back was
kind of bothered me. But it's looked like it in
other in other games, and it certainly looked like yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
No question.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Steelers with a twenty seven to twenty two victory over
the Ravens in Baltimore. They set a top the AFC
North Now and Uh, the questions about Mike Tomlin's tenure here,
I think quiet down for a while, much to the
chagrin of those who were hoping that this was finally
the right amount of town on a rail moment. Doesn't
look like that's going to be the cases. Tomlin blows
(11:09):
a kiss to the camera on his way off the field,
which had to piss off Ravens fans even more. If
there's nothing else to glean from this, Jeff it's that
we as Steeler fans to just enjoy how much this
pisses off Ravens fans.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Yes, just be quiet and enjoy the tears of those
who you hate.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yes, that's really the lesson here. That's the holiday spirit. Yes,
that's the holiday spirit.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
And you know, the Ravens and I believe the Bills
both had ten days rest yes before the Steelers, and
Matt Williamson, who is so great on stats like that,
just it is an enormous advantage, enormous advantage for the
team of the extra rest.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, so what.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
We could use a bye week? Yeah, well another bye week.
With all the people we have out, we're.
Speaker 1 (11:50):

Speaker 2 (13:09):
And we're we were talking about Stevie rayvaugh What were
you talking about? We were talking about concerts as well,
but we were talking about concert t shirts and we.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Were basically saying, have you ever seen a band that
then that opened for someone that then became something of note?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I saw Bonjovie open for Rat and nobody knew who Bunjo. Really,
that's pretty good. I was just told them the story
about Stevie Rayvon opening for the band. Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
And as far as a concert T shirt, I saw
The Grateful Dead in h in Kansas way back in
the day and I had it. It was the song
loose Lucy. Yeah it was. I'm so bummed I don't
have his T shirt. It was Lucy and Woodstock and
everybody dancing on the front of it, and of course
the contentates in the back and in the bottom it
said thank you for.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Real good And I wish that was Like I have
an old Ocean Pacific T shirt. I haven't thrown it away,
you know, but that I wish I had that T shirt. Man,
I really wish I had a T shirt.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Well, Mike Isaiah likely was loose loosely with Tuck yesterday
and couldn't bring the ball in And that's not a
football movie.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah, he loves dropping the ball in the end. Z
what that was a great segue. I agree that. Well,
I did one thing right today. I've been able to
talk for three and a half hours.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Sports a Star brought to you by Bridgeville Plants I
thought Jane was outstanding as he was yesterday. That what
he does, how quickly he has to turn around watching
multiple games at once and getting about thirty seconds. Yeah,
they tell hey, we need your opinion on this, and
then he has to just come on and make it
make sense, and I think he did. Two calls were correct,
(14:45):
one was incorrect.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It does always impress me how quickly he can apply
the rule to the judgment on the field and determine
in that quick amount of time, because they don't have
a lot of space for him to extemporize.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
And he Bang Bang Bank Bank Bank tells you why,
Here's why I think they got it right. Here's why
I think they got it wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Because this is the rule and that didn't meet the
measure of being a foul.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
And to dumb it down for the frothing unwashed masses
is also a critical part of his credibility of us.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Many of us just don't want to hear it now
that they have their opinion. And that's that.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
And you know a lot of stuff went according to
plan in that Steelers twenty seven to twenty two victory
over the Ravens yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, the calls were critical. They always are.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
But uh what some of the things we had emphasized
going into the game. Number one was they got to
get back to taking one on one shots.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Down the field. They did that right away.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Check and if you've got Roger now, obviously if he's
under center, he wasn't under center a ton and it
didn't run the ball well when he was under center anyway,
so it didn't impact the game that way.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
But clearly that tells you he's feeling a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
By the way, was that truly a single coverage shot there,
because it looked like they had the.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Twelve's trying to do the double team. It's a singles shot. Yeah, okay,
you know he's not good at it. They Baltimore made
such a big deal out of when they traded for
a Lohi Gilman. That allowed them to move Kyle Hamilton
down into the box and play different positions and be
more impactful.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
But you take the guy out.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Of center field, who's a good center fielder, now you
don't have a good center fielder or a good half
center fielder if they're in cover two.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So that's where you got it right.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
They're they're they're clearly moving Hamilton because they want him
to do a so you attack the guy who's doing
B And did you hear Kyle Hamilton's.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Name called yesterday? I did not.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
And he's a great player. He is their best defender.
They stayed away from him. Sometimes that's how you avoid turnovers.
Don't give the guy who's really good a chance to
make a turnover. Okay, that's planning, that's coaching, that's game
plan number two.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
They had to win the turnover battle.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Usually that's the case with the Steelers statistically in any matchup,
but in this one, Baltimore came in at minus four
Pitsburgh came in at plus eight. So the trends there
are Steelers should win the turd over battle in this game.
They only got one, but it's set up a thirty
six yard short field touchdown.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Drive back, the pass looking steps up in the pocket,
moving to.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
The right, trying to get to the edge, and it's
gonna loft outfield.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
One handed pickoff by James Pierre and Pierre down the
left sideline, had of bounds at the thirty five yard line,
leaping one handed interception by James Pierre.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The hell was Lamar doing on that one?
Speaker 7 (17:28):
What was he doing on that one. That was a
horrifically bad play.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
He's good for one of those games he had. He
was open, his receiver was open. Oh he was a
bad room. But he just doesn't have that burst right now.
He's had all these leg injuries this year. It's not
the same. He doesn't seem to the last several weeks.
It doesn't seem to have that same burst.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
The other critical element or another critical element red zone,
which it always is anyway, right, Baltimore came in thirtieth
in red zone offense.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Pittsburgh was tenth in red zone defense.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
So that's a match Okay, Steelers got to win this
this part of the game within the game. And Baltimore
goes two for six in the red zone, well that
was just huge and you you won by five. Yeah,
I mean the other way, it was a good matchup
for six. Holy cow, Steelers were fifth in red zone offense.
They suck unless they get close to the goal line,
and they're pretty good. Baltimore was sixth in red zone defense.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So you got to push that one, right.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's basically Balmlin loves the bend, but don't break mike.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
They went two for four offensively in the red zone,
So that's good enough. They pushed it. That part didn't
decide it. The defensive part of the red zone helped
decide it. And then the pass rush element, the pass
rush component of associated with playing a football. Baltimore had
given up fifteen more sacks than it had recorded going
(18:52):
into that game. The Steelers had registered twelve more sacks
then they gave up. So again, this is part of
the game. Pittsburgh should win. Two sacks for the Steelers,
none for the Ravens. All this stuff adds up. So
when that's how you survived two hundred and seventeen rushing yards,
which you knew going in that was an advantage that
clearly favored the run.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
We were two for four in the red zone.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, I'm trying to remember the two times that we
what happened when we didn't field goals?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Two field goals? Okay, both of them, Boz.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So let me ask you this, Kinger yesterday the defensive effort,
didn't it look like they were better at stopping the
run even though they gave up two hundred and thirty yards.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
It actually or two hundred twenty years.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
So two things did back up, And Mike said the
last nine times the Steelers have won the turnover battle,
they've won the game.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
So I'm sorry, let me say it again.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Last nine times the Steelers have not turned the ball over,
they won the game. So we always we always think
about this Steelers in terms of getting turnovers. Like we
were talking during one of the breaks about the five
or maybe it was last segment, the five turnovers you
created in New England and helped you win the game. Well,
if they the other part of the turnover culture is
not turning it over, right, it's not just getting turnovers,
(20:05):
it's not turning it over. Last nine times they haven't
turned them all over, they won the game. That doesn't
mean you should just kneel down three times and punt
it away, by the way.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It doesn't.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
But there are times when you put the ball at
risk and there are times when you do not. And hey,
I would have played that last series differently. When you're
on the eight yard line, I would have thrown based
on what the defense was showing and the success they
had had through the game.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
But they got scared straight from the Aaron Rodgers almost intercense.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I think that's what happened.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
But he played it according to the percentages, you know,
playing a percentage. I don't know if that's living in
your fears. Sometimes being smart is being smart, and they
got away with it. So it was the right decision.
If the Ravens had gone down and scored, then it
would have been a stupid decision because they would have lost.
But they didn't go out and score. They won the game,
so it was the right decision.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Nice game for Corless weightman too, by the way, bounce
back game.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
He had a couple of badmans and them, And to
your point, I mean they held them. They held Derrek
Henry to eleven carries for thirty four yards. That's what
made it feel like. They played the run in the
first half. In the first half, it made it feel
like they were playing to run better than of course
the long run, but those do count, just like your
(21:18):
long passes count.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Long run out.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
But they didn't let the Ravens dictate with the run,
and it didn't affect the way they called their defense.
Whereas the Buffalo game, it was pretty paired.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Even in the.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
First half, they were running the ball right, Like, did
anybody feel good?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Was it seven to three or yes it was seven.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Sixth Did anybody feel great about that.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
No, so I mentioned all those games that the Steelers
had led at halftime and got the ball to begin
the second half. That was one of them. Of those
four games, that was the one that felt the worst.
There was actually five of them that they that they led,
led in the second going into the second half and
got got the ball first and lost the game Seattle.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Oh, and lost the game, lost the game, lost the game.
There was four. Yeah, that's what four going in and
then yesterday New England they also screwed it up. But
they won the game.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Right, yeah, so so right, but they won the game.
I'm talking about the losses. They could have been victories,
but Buffalo. Of those games, Buffalo felt the least likely
to win.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
All right, did you pull a call from the post
game for us? Did Max from Houston? We'll do that next.
Tried to suck the joy out of two.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Power hour of Steeler Talk with Rob King, Voice of
the Steelers here on your radio, Home of the Black
and Gold one a two point five dve on a
two point five dve, Rob King with us for a
power hour of Steeler Talk. Pretty interesting that DK Metcalf
took a rep on that last punt Corlis weightman thankfully
(22:41):
gets off just a bomb, which they needed from him
there and he's been due for that. But DK went
in because he thought Schronic's finger was messed up.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Was it scron Ors, Well, it.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Was Scronic and then Scronic said I'm not not taking
this rep and he kicked Eckles.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Off and so the two them go down. DK draws
two guys.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
That play results in a holding call that backs them
up ten yards, which really put the Ravens behind a ball,
and then they take i think illegal formation penalty immediately
backs them up again.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
They're first and twenty.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
That kind of was the uh, you know, the writ
and really help on the wall.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, they still almost pulled it off, but it wasn't
reading any writing on the wall then, but it helped. Well.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
The point I wanted to make is this is like
the polar opposite of what I thought this team was
doing the week before, weeks before, which is like they
weren't buying into the team game plan. It didn't seem
like and there was not like a unity that we're
used to seeing, and we kept hearing that the locker
room was a bunch of single guys. It's like backstage
(23:48):
at an Eagles concerts, you know, exparate dressing the exactly.
But when DK metcalf is going in and covering punts
and scronic.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Also his effort on that one play.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I don't know if you guys saw that where he
just got double team and knocked out a bounce and
kept fight. He kept running back to people with He
got knocked down a bunch of times, and he kept
getting back up and trying to cover the punt. I mean,
Danny Smith really had those guys dialed in yesterday.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Well, I think the whole team was styled. And I
mean Queen Eccles and betten all came back from injury.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And Queen's injury looked like he was gonna need a wheelchair.
And imagine they didn't have Betton Harmon.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, oh why he black made a big play when
he was in for him. He almost brought down Lamar.
That guy whoever that right guard is, That guy got
crushed yesterday.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I believe that was the great Daniel. Yeah, I think
him and Lamar had some words. He's like Jojo the Whale.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Yeah, you don't walk with Daniel, you walk among him.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So he's a mass. I think he's pushing four bills
Kinger back in the day, you did the postgame show. Yes,
there's a network.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Mike is currently at the helm there and I always
asked Mike to pull one call out from the post
game because I like to just to know the tenor
of Steeler nageist, Like, what are you guys feeling? Because
to me, I was elited. I was just so glad
we beat the Ravens. I don't get by hook or
by crook. I don't care. Let's get the w and uh.
(25:16):
This is from that postgame show with Charlie Batch that
Mike pursuer runs.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Max in Houston. You're up next with Mike and Charlie.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Hey, guys, I'm going to agree with that guy. Just
from Boswell, Pa. There, I was calling to put a cold,
wet bucket of ice in the blanket on all this giddiness,
the Stiller defense, if you realistic play look at this
game was not good. During the week, I heard some
(25:46):
national announcement referred to it as the silk curtain no
longer than the still curtain, and I have to agree.
First drive, they went right down the silk, but we
did hold them to a silk golf after we up
the lead when Boswell picked it short, but the penalty
we gave him at the ball to forty end of
a half, it was very important. At the end of
(26:09):
the half, they went down and scored a touchdown. The
second half, the defense never really stopped them. It was
that one controversial play on the touchdown that stopped them.
If they didn't miss the extra point, they probably would
have kicked the fill goal then and then yes, Alex
tight Smith and the last play he miraculously got a
(26:32):
sack and that saved the day. But this defense, this
entire year is not championship worthy.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I'm going to stop it there because I'm guessing.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
He went on to say that they're going to get
blown out in the first round again.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Oh yes, all right, Well you know.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
The silk kurt and he thought that was funny. Well
did you know that silk has a greater tensile strength
then steel?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
But oh but it doesn't break. Wow, take that pipe
and smoke.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
It's good now about that, you SLK fan.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
I know that because I watched Spider Man two just yesterday.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I knew there was Spider Man.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
I knew there was going to be at least one
of those I just because you told me to keep
an eye out for a good call.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
That's it. I don't have to write any more down.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
I read the comments the Calvin Austin clip that I
played today. Mike Defebo from The Athletic posted that on Twitter,
and I made the mistake of reading the comments underneath it.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
And that's the clip where Calvin Austin said, you know,
you guys can care.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
If the whole world booze.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
Yeah, there's just some people who are going to refuse
to take any joy out of this season.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
God bless you all. If that's the way you want
to go through life, have at it. Why are you watching?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I thought yesterday was one of the first times this
year I felt like it was the Steelers. They were
playing like this.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
It was hard. Guys were getting knocked out of the
game left and right.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Know, the pent up frustration that got released and alleviated
with the first bomb to decay. Oh my god, that
was a soothing bomb on this entire season. A bomb ball,
a bomb bomb. It was a bomb bomb.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Who told you to put the bomb on? The bomb?
The bomb?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
My dog was going crazy because that's I was screaming.
Anytime I screamed, the dog goes creaky.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
So I'm like god.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
A bunch of times during the game yesterday, and that's
kind of like the first time it felt like that
this year. I don't know, it felt to me like
it really got back to some stealer football.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I understand the concerns about the defense.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
We said there was one big splash play on the
defense there and this was I think Queen was hurt
on that series.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I'm not sure the one what hulkumb Hulk was in.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
It was in they had a shot to get him
in the backfield and then he ran through Hulcomb about
four yards into it and then he was gone.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And I know you say those plays count, but like
they still looked a lot better than they did against
the Bills, And it was this is the description I
thought of during the commercial break. It looked hopeless versus
the Bills. It's like nothing is gonna work. They cannot
stop them. And I didn't think that at all yesterday.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I thought they could. There was times they didn't. They
looked coached up better. They looked like they.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Were a gap sound guys weren't way out of position.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
That sounds let's.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Not never use that a deep scheming eschematics and gap
sound or every time something goes a while. We weren't guess,
but there is. There was a beat down element to
the Bills. They just kept getting seven yards, eight yards,
you know, second and two, second and three and yeah, right,
(29:45):
and the Steelers, Okay, Henry got a couple of big runs.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
He's the greatest December running back in NFL history.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yes, but then history and then ever you would look
up and then it would be third and six, right, yep,
and they won the game. They're in first place. It is,
it is, Yes, the.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
One game you want to win above all the other
ones is Baltimore and BALI in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I understand.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
We all see our own warts the clearest, right, That's
just the way it is. But look at the NFL.
The Chiefs are six and seven. For some reason, Tampa
Bay lost at home to New Orleans, New Orleans. I
have no I it is the strangest This is the
simple strangest season in the NFL I can ever remember.
And I and I talk about it with the other
(30:36):
play by play guys are going, hey, what's going on.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
In the steam room, you guys? No, no, no, it's
it's a it's a it's a.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
They're they're also doing play by play executive and we
were talking about yesterday like this is the weirdest year
I can ever remember.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Speaking of, which talk about looking up and seeing something.
The Texans, who I didn't even I thought they were
as bad as the Titans, all of a sudden might
actually be the leading best potential team in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
When you have a defense like that, and then and
you can run quarterbacks back C J. Stroud finally back, which,
by the way, that was what the Steelers are supposed
to be this year. Historic defense and a running attack,
and then Aaron Rodgers steering the entire thing right, who.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Knows they ran yesterday?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Though, I meant, well, if they're going to win it,
it is apparently not on the ground.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
What do you think is a bigger loss to them? Washington?
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Yeah, Washington over Andreo anybody else you were going to mention? Yeah,
they did?
Speaker 5 (31:44):
He say after postgame, like, how I guess that he
never makes a comment how long anyone's gonna.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Be percussion guys, I still know what you saw when
he fell and his head kind of whacked off the ground.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
There is kind of That's what I'm saying. His head
also weighs eighty five. That's very that's a lot of
force going down. Yeah, you could tell he was hurting,
But I don't know. I thought the Steelers played with
a lot of grit yesterday. I thought Deyla Cook did fine.
Then they even stopped helping him after a series. It
was only thirteen snaps. But this is a guy who
(32:16):
was on Tampa's undrafted out of Montana. He was on
Tampa's practice squad in twenty twenty two, didn't play. He
was on a Steelers in twenty twenty three, didn't play.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
He was injured for most of twenty twenty four and
then brought back eventually to be on the practice squad.
That was his NFL debut yesterday. Yeah, but this is
a guy who has been practicing and prepping for a
long time. It wasn't too big for I mean, very
limited sample size. And then the other thing that is
potentially game changing in terms of what they're capable of.
Adam Steeling played forty eight percent of the snaps twenty five.
(32:51):
He was the second most used wide receiver. Oh wow,
he only got targeted once, but they clearly have plans
for this guy and Kiz Valdez Scantling played thirty one
percent of the snaps as many as Calvin Austin.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Just for funzies, I played them both for an any
time touchdown yesterday. They were plus nine hundred and plus
one thousand, respectively.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
We got ten bucks. Never killed anybody. Who Let's see
what happens here.
Speaker 7 (33:15):
You know, you know Valdess Scantling was not used for
four games. He should be up to speed by now.
And they did an unbelievable job with Feland just crash course,
you know, go back to stripes.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I learned two semesters of geology one night. You guys
ever crammed before? Yeah, I mean he crammed?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I think that guy at Scantling.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Said, is there any coincidence that those two guys are
running routes yesterday and playing that many downs and DK
has best game in Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
Doesn't believe in coincidences, as he told us Roma Wilson
got scratched, healthy scratch. I mean, it wasn't happening. It's
not all his fault. Rogers missed him in the last game.
He could have had a big play. Maybe Rogers doesn't
overthrow me. Still playing, but everybody, that's the lineup they
gotta go with.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
I think everybody thought Rowan Wilson was gonna be the
next Time's ward and he's turned out to be a
tomato can.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
All right, that was the last one I had had
that three hours. I just wanted to get that last
one in before I leave. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Thanks to Rob kigs see a kinger and also thanks
yeah head headphones, that's some of them.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
This is iHeartRadio. We don't have radio equipment everywhere.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Also thanks to Jeane's Territory for calling in on a
Monday today because you know, he was the guy we
all wanted to hear.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah uh and of course next to Tim Bens.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
As a result, tomorrow will have Jerry Dulac on the show,
Charlie Batch and Billy Gardelle. And a big thank you
to Jeff Conkle as always, you got anything coming up here?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Nothing holiday in the holidays.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
Thankfully, silk is stronger than stuff like that today. I mean, Jeff,
I would probably check that to verify I am.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh don't. I'm prone to talking out of my silk glands.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
If you quote a movie that is a fact as
far as I'm condy said it first.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Chris is in for Michelle with the Electric lunch at noon.
Have a great day, everybout it. I'm finished.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
You say, classy Pittsburgh, don't touch your face.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I got him touch pets day, baby, But now you
gotta call me Ronald. Would you not eat my pants? Ronald? Oh?
Why google it?
Speaker 5 (35:31):
At FNB, we rewrote the rules of banking and they're
getting everything you need a whole lot of
Snaptain Lamar Jackson rush coming from the backside.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
He's hit her, take it down.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It's Heismith with the sack back at the thirty eight
yard line, and.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
That will do it.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
The Steelers come to M and T Bank Stadium and
win twenty seven to twenty two, and they are back
in first place by themselves in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Nor the author of that play call here on the
Steelers Audio Network on the flagship DVE. Joining us now
Rob King for a power hour of Steeler Talk. This
first half hour brought to you by Ford, your neighborhood
Ford Store. The F one fifty is the official truck
of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kinger. Who what a classic
(00:49):
Baltimore Pittsburgh matchup that was yesterday. It had all of
the elements that we've become accustomed to in this one.
It ain't over till it's over. It goes down to
the last play. There's always a controvertall play in there somewhere.
Mark Andrews screws up on fourth down. But yeah, he
didn't know he screwed up. I don't think you know,
because he had DeAndre Hopkins just sitting there behind him
(01:10):
for a touchdown, but you know, looked like it was
thrown to him. I mean, Lamar's gonna put a little
more air on that baby, probably gets there, although Joey
Porter was closing.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
But still yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
But Harbaugh being pissed and Tomlin walking off the field
of Victor in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I love to see all of that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
What I really liked about it it was a response to,
as we keep categorizing it, a very tumultuous week in
Pittsburgh for Mike Tomlin and the defense especially, and the offense,
I mean really just the whole team, and all three
of those things seemed to bounce back nicely against their
(01:49):
division rivalry, rivalry rival in Baltimore. The defense seemed really
well coached up, offense took shots right away, and you know,
I disagree with the way that ran the fourth quarter.
I would have liked to see them be a little
more aggressive there, but you can't argue with the final product,
right they won, and you know, the the uh, the
(02:12):
fact is that they had four games that were similar
to this one coming out of the half Seattle, Green Bay, Buffalo, Chicago,
in which they had the lead and had the ball,
And think about that. There's seven and six right now.
And you know, I'm throwing out the game against Cincinnati
in which you got a late lead. You got the
(02:33):
lead with two and a half minutes, you had to
lead finally in that game. Aren't you supposed to win
a couple of those games? That's that's how you draw
it up. Hey, let's have the lead. They get the
ball first, but we have the lead at halftime, and
then we get the ball to begin the second half.
That's that's what you want as a team and as
a coach. Shouldn't you win a couple of those games?
(02:53):
Chicago Green Bays? Green Bay were up by nine. Well,
that's another thing I liked about yesterday is winning the
coin toss, deferring and then knowing that the onus is
on you to come out better than you have been
so far this year.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
And they scored twice in the third quarter. Yeah. Yeah,
so that's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
And you know, one of the things that I was
wondering about this week and talking of with Max on
our radio show is that is it possible because neither
team both teams had had shown elements right of being good,
but neither team had consistently displayed those elements like there's
been times in which the Studers threw the ball over
the field. There's times in which they've ran the ball
(03:35):
over the field. There's times in which they've stopped the run.
There's times in which they've been run upon. They hasn't
felt complete. The statistics are very very strange, or at
the bottom of the league in some categories, the top
of the league and the others. It's not like this
was a six and sixteen that was mediocre against the run,
mediocre against the pass, mediocre throwing the ball. No, they
(03:57):
were elite in some categories and at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's it's it's been a mystifying season.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
So to be able to come out and do that
and maybe use that as a little bit of a
spark to to play more consistently down the stretch. I mean,
you tell me who the super team is in the AFC,
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Or the NFL.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Broncos maybe one ten in a row, yeah, or the
Patriots the team and Steers went up to Foxboro and.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Beat right thanks to five turnovers, right, but you still
beat him, right? Yeah? All right. So one thing.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
We've not talked a lot about today was the attrition
of this one O.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Three concussions, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Eckles was checked out for one, and you really saw
what the scope of the offense is when Darnell Washington
went out, and what it is without him seems much
more narrow. Really had a hard time running the ball
without mount Washam yeah in there.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, and they tried Spencer Anderson seemed to be out
there a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I haven't seen the snap counts yet, but he was,
you know, trying to get the run in game going,
you know, it was I thought. One of the other
things about this game was that, you know, Aaron Rodgers
has been criticized and there was an article written about
how you know after this loss against Buffalo when, of
course the team is that it's natter Now. I hope
(05:17):
we can say that if it wasn't the Chargers game. Yeah,
and you know he's old that he doesn't have it anymore,
and I'm thinking, I'm reading that article, I'm like, Okay,
I understand what you're saying. In the last couple of games,
he hasn't been as sharp, and of course against Buffalo
it's playing with the fractured wrist, but he hasn't looked
as sharp but there there have been moments this year
where he's looked phenomenal. I mean phenomena that he looked
(05:40):
phenomenal yesterday. I thought he played great, even in the
fourth quarter, but I mean having a duck it underneath
a Mike Green sack alling out and throwing one.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That that that I thought Calvin caught.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And I think that was the play where Calvin uh
there was originally called the and that was you know,
look at they they didn't have the right personnel out
there to snap the ball quickly, and I had that
annoyed Aaron Rightley, so right just the fact that he
played the way he did, the fact that I think
on the air I called it a bootleg, but it
really wasn't his touchdown run. He went back and he
just looked and there was nobody in the left the
(06:14):
ring and John.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Who fell down. Yeah okay, so yeah, John fell down
and he was just looked and took off, took off
and ran.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I thought he looked more agile yesterday than he has
in the last three weeks. Like I think that the
criticism of him was fair in the last few weeks.
I thought he was hearing the footsteps a lot. He
was getting rid of the ball, and he was stepping
up into the pocket and kind of getting a little nervous.
Things that we expect that he can handle. It seemed
like all the sudden he was at times trying to
(06:42):
do too much allow Russell Wilson an other times scared
that he was about to get crushed, and he felt
it looked like he felt much more comfortable yesterday. And
I'm wondering how much of that had to do with
havingn MVS and Adam feeling in there running routes and
drawing some attention away from guys. I don't know. I
don't know if that was a factory. I don't think
he Neither one of them had a catch. Did they
didn't matter? Had NVS had one one target?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I make the catch? Yeah, yeah, was it who had
to catch? Fling had one catch? I think something I
don't I don't, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But I think he was feeling his oats a little bit,
knowing he could get the ball to DK.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I thought it was because I watched something on ESPN
that Hasselbeck was saying that the Ravens did not bring pressure.
So I don't know if they were dropping back into
coverage and hoping that that that we can cover these
receivers and we're gonna make picks.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Or anything like that.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I think some of the reasons that the that the
offensive line and pass protection looked so good is because
they weren't I don't think they were blitzing a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
They weren't bringing up the heat. Well, they certainly weren't
at full strength.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I mean with Roder Jones being on the I R
and then you had lose on Pete to uh Dylan Cook.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Who you know, with a little bit of help didn't
do so bad, but he did. He only took one
hit yesterday and didn't get sacked.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Right, Yeah, you wonder why Hardbo didn't dial up a
little bit more pressure there. So to me, I mean,
if you're looking like I remember talking to people after
the Cincinnati game, because I was talking to people in
Cincinnati wondering why there weren't remember the Steelers going to
that game four and one before the game, was like,
why aren't more people picking the Steelers to be better?
Because I thought they were going to be a better
(08:15):
team than they were a year ago. I thought they
were they were ten and seven a year ago. Thought
they'd upgraded a quarterback. He had three draft choices last
year who basically didn't play, including your first round pick
another draft class. He traded for DK Metcalf, you trade
for Jalen Ramsey. I thought, Okay, this team should be better,
and I think some of the perception was, well, where's
Aaron Rodgers? And then after the game in Cincinnati, I thought,
(08:38):
how could anybody? I mean, he he looked phenomenal against Cincinnati, phenomenal.
And then there's been some ups and downs. I thought,
my biggest takeaway from yesterday one of them. I guess,
you know, winning the game is number one. I just
thought he looked great. I just thought, if you have
faith that the Steelers can do something in the in
the playoffs, that's what It's the most important position in sports.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
And he looked I just thought he looked great, absolutely great.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The only times he didn't is when he was under dress,
which I mean, look, you know, by that barometer, Lamar
was garbage when they were getting to him.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You know, he escaped a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
They could not bring Lamar Jackson down much as they tried,
but it really disrupted the offense. Nineteen to thirty five
for him, but I agree with you on Rogers. It
looked like he was one week more healed with that
risk too, And I know that he said he called
an audible the day before and went rogue and had
them recast it with a softer cast so he was
(09:33):
able to go under center more often. Although he's got
you know, he's got a tremendous pain tolerance, like you
know that dude, he's he's tough. You know, he's not
only not only gifted, not only in his prime. That
the best throw over of football I've ever seen in
my life. And by the way, you know, when you
think about like the throw at the end of the
(09:54):
Cincinnati game, like traveled seventy yards in the air. He
made a throw to Pat Fryarmouth which Pat didn't catch
against Seattle.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, that's the best throw I've.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Seen all year by any by any quarterback on the
right side, where he just, oh my goodness, rolling right
and dropping it in a bucket sixty yards downfield. He
fell down when he threw it because he had to
put everything behind it and to have it land.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It was right on target with Pat.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Pat a guy like that put Pat in the doghouse
and he never got out of it. I don't know
if I don't know if that was the case, but
I my point on Rogers is the arm talent is
still significant and there's still a lot of athleticism there.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It was.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It didn't look like it against the Chargers, and it
didn't look like it against the Bills, but it looked.
It's looked like it, and it didn't look like it
against the Jets. After the game Sea my back was
kind of bothered me. But it's looked like it in
other in other games, and it certainly looked like yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
No question.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Steelers with a twenty seven to twenty two victory over
the Ravens in Baltimore. They set a top the AFC
North Now and Uh, the questions about Mike Tomlin's tenure here,
I think quiet down for a while, much to the
chagrin of those who were hoping that this was finally
the right amount of town on a rail moment. Doesn't
look like that's going to be the cases. Tomlin blows
(11:09):
a kiss to the camera on his way off the field,
which had to piss off Ravens fans even more. If
there's nothing else to glean from this, Jeff it's that
we as Steeler fans to just enjoy how much this
pisses off Ravens fans.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Yes, just be quiet and enjoy the tears of those
who you hate.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yes, that's really the lesson here. That's the holiday spirit. Yes,
that's the holiday spirit.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
And you know, the Ravens and I believe the Bills
both had ten days rest yes before the Steelers, and
Matt Williamson, who is so great on stats like that,
just it is an enormous advantage, enormous advantage for the
team of the extra rest.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, so what.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
We could use a bye week? Yeah, well another bye week.
With all the people we have out, we're.
Speaker 1 (11:50):

Speaker 2 (13:09):
And we're we were talking about Stevie rayvaugh What were
you talking about? We were talking about concerts as well,
but we were talking about concert t shirts and we.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Were basically saying, have you ever seen a band that
then that opened for someone that then became something of note?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I saw Bonjovie open for Rat and nobody knew who Bunjo. Really,
that's pretty good. I was just told them the story
about Stevie Rayvon opening for the band. Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
And as far as a concert T shirt, I saw
The Grateful Dead in h in Kansas way back in
the day and I had it. It was the song
loose Lucy. Yeah it was. I'm so bummed I don't
have his T shirt. It was Lucy and Woodstock and
everybody dancing on the front of it, and of course
the contentates in the back and in the bottom it
said thank you for.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Real good And I wish that was Like I have
an old Ocean Pacific T shirt. I haven't thrown it away,
you know, but that I wish I had that T shirt. Man,
I really wish I had a T shirt.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Well, Mike Isaiah likely was loose loosely with Tuck yesterday
and couldn't bring the ball in And that's not a
football movie.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah, he loves dropping the ball in the end. Z
what that was a great segue. I agree that. Well,
I did one thing right today. I've been able to
talk for three and a half hours.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Sports a Star brought to you by Bridgeville Plants I
thought Jane was outstanding as he was yesterday. That what
he does, how quickly he has to turn around watching
multiple games at once and getting about thirty seconds. Yeah,
they tell hey, we need your opinion on this, and
then he has to just come on and make it
make sense, and I think he did. Two calls were correct,
(14:45):
one was incorrect.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It does always impress me how quickly he can apply
the rule to the judgment on the field and determine
in that quick amount of time, because they don't have
a lot of space for him to extemporize.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
And he Bang Bang Bank Bank Bank tells you why,
Here's why I think they got it right. Here's why
I think they got it wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Because this is the rule and that didn't meet the
measure of being a foul.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
And to dumb it down for the frothing unwashed masses
is also a critical part of his credibility of us.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Many of us just don't want to hear it now
that they have their opinion. And that's that.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
And you know a lot of stuff went according to
plan in that Steelers twenty seven to twenty two victory
over the Ravens yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, the calls were critical. They always are.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
But uh what some of the things we had emphasized
going into the game. Number one was they got to
get back to taking one on one shots.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Down the field. They did that right away.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Check and if you've got Roger now, obviously if he's
under center, he wasn't under center a ton and it
didn't run the ball well when he was under center anyway,
so it didn't impact the game that way.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
But clearly that tells you he's feeling a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
By the way, was that truly a single coverage shot there,
because it looked like they had the.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Twelve's trying to do the double team. It's a singles shot. Yeah, okay,
you know he's not good at it. They Baltimore made
such a big deal out of when they traded for
a Lohi Gilman. That allowed them to move Kyle Hamilton
down into the box and play different positions and be
more impactful.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
But you take the guy out.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
Of center field, who's a good center fielder, now you
don't have a good center fielder or a good half
center fielder if they're in cover two.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So that's where you got it right.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
They're they're they're clearly moving Hamilton because they want him
to do a so you attack the guy who's doing
B And did you hear Kyle Hamilton's.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Name called yesterday? I did not.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
And he's a great player. He is their best defender.
They stayed away from him. Sometimes that's how you avoid turnovers.
Don't give the guy who's really good a chance to
make a turnover. Okay, that's planning, that's coaching, that's game
plan number two.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
They had to win the turnover battle.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Usually that's the case with the Steelers statistically in any matchup,
but in this one, Baltimore came in at minus four
Pitsburgh came in at plus eight. So the trends there
are Steelers should win the turd over battle in this game.
They only got one, but it's set up a thirty
six yard short field touchdown.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Drive back, the pass looking steps up in the pocket,
moving to.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
The right, trying to get to the edge, and it's
gonna loft outfield.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
One handed pickoff by James Pierre and Pierre down the
left sideline, had of bounds at the thirty five yard line,
leaping one handed interception by James Pierre.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The hell was Lamar doing on that one?
Speaker 7 (17:28):
What was he doing on that one. That was a
horrifically bad play.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
He's good for one of those games he had. He
was open, his receiver was open. Oh he was a
bad room. But he just doesn't have that burst right now.
He's had all these leg injuries this year. It's not
the same. He doesn't seem to the last several weeks.
It doesn't seem to have that same burst.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
The other critical element or another critical element red zone,
which it always is anyway, right, Baltimore came in thirtieth
in red zone offense.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Pittsburgh was tenth in red zone defense.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
So that's a match Okay, Steelers got to win this
this part of the game within the game. And Baltimore
goes two for six in the red zone, well that
was just huge and you you won by five. Yeah,
I mean the other way, it was a good matchup
for six. Holy cow, Steelers were fifth in red zone offense.
They suck unless they get close to the goal line,
and they're pretty good. Baltimore was sixth in red zone defense.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So you got to push that one, right.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
It's basically Balmlin loves the bend, but don't break mike.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
They went two for four offensively in the red zone,
So that's good enough. They pushed it. That part didn't
decide it. The defensive part of the red zone helped
decide it. And then the pass rush element, the pass
rush component of associated with playing a football. Baltimore had
given up fifteen more sacks than it had recorded going
(18:52):
into that game. The Steelers had registered twelve more sacks
then they gave up. So again, this is part of
the game. Pittsburgh should win. Two sacks for the Steelers,
none for the Ravens. All this stuff adds up. So
when that's how you survived two hundred and seventeen rushing yards,
which you knew going in that was an advantage that
clearly favored the run.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
We were two for four in the red zone.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, I'm trying to remember the two times that we
what happened when we didn't field goals?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Two field goals? Okay, both of them, Boz.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So let me ask you this, Kinger yesterday the defensive effort,
didn't it look like they were better at stopping the
run even though they gave up two hundred and thirty yards.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
It actually or two hundred twenty years.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
So two things did back up, And Mike said the
last nine times the Steelers have won the turnover battle,
they've won the game.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
So I'm sorry, let me say it again.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Last nine times the Steelers have not turned the ball over,
they won the game. So we always we always think
about this Steelers in terms of getting turnovers. Like we
were talking during one of the breaks about the five
or maybe it was last segment, the five turnovers you
created in New England and helped you win the game. Well,
if they the other part of the turnover culture is
not turning it over, right, it's not just getting turnovers,
(20:05):
it's not turning it over. Last nine times they haven't
turned them all over, they won the game. That doesn't
mean you should just kneel down three times and punt
it away, by the way.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It doesn't.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
But there are times when you put the ball at
risk and there are times when you do not. And hey,
I would have played that last series differently. When you're
on the eight yard line, I would have thrown based
on what the defense was showing and the success they
had had through the game.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
But they got scared straight from the Aaron Rodgers almost intercense.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I think that's what happened.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
But he played it according to the percentages, you know,
playing a percentage. I don't know if that's living in
your fears. Sometimes being smart is being smart, and they
got away with it. So it was the right decision.
If the Ravens had gone down and scored, then it
would have been a stupid decision because they would have lost.
But they didn't go out and score. They won the game,
so it was the right decision.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Nice game for Corless weightman too, by the way, bounce
back game.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
He had a couple of badmans and them, And to
your point, I mean they held them. They held Derrek
Henry to eleven carries for thirty four yards. That's what
made it feel like. They played the run in the
first half. In the first half, it made it feel
like they were playing to run better than of course
the long run, but those do count, just like your
(21:18):
long passes count.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Long run out.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
But they didn't let the Ravens dictate with the run,
and it didn't affect the way they called their defense.
Whereas the Buffalo game, it was pretty paired.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Even in the.
Speaker 7 (21:27):
First half, they were running the ball right, Like, did
anybody feel good?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Was it seven to three or yes it was seven.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
Sixth Did anybody feel great about that.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
No, so I mentioned all those games that the Steelers
had led at halftime and got the ball to begin
the second half. That was one of them. Of those
four games, that was the one that felt the worst.
There was actually five of them that they that they led,
led in the second going into the second half and
got got the ball first and lost the game Seattle.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Oh, and lost the game, lost the game, lost the game.
There was four. Yeah, that's what four going in and
then yesterday New England they also screwed it up. But
they won the game.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Right, yeah, so so right, but they won the game.
I'm talking about the losses. They could have been victories,
but Buffalo. Of those games, Buffalo felt the least likely
to win.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
All right, did you pull a call from the post
game for us? Did Max from Houston? We'll do that next.
Tried to suck the joy out of two.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Power hour of Steeler Talk with Rob King, Voice of
the Steelers here on your radio, Home of the Black
and Gold one a two point five dve on a
two point five dve, Rob King with us for a
power hour of Steeler Talk. Pretty interesting that DK Metcalf
took a rep on that last punt Corlis weightman thankfully
(22:41):
gets off just a bomb, which they needed from him
there and he's been due for that. But DK went
in because he thought Schronic's finger was messed up.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Was it scron Ors, Well, it.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Was Scronic and then Scronic said I'm not not taking
this rep and he kicked Eckles.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Off and so the two them go down. DK draws
two guys.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
That play results in a holding call that backs them
up ten yards, which really put the Ravens behind a ball,
and then they take i think illegal formation penalty immediately
backs them up again.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
They're first and twenty.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
That kind of was the uh, you know, the writ
and really help on the wall.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, they still almost pulled it off, but it wasn't
reading any writing on the wall then, but it helped. Well.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
The point I wanted to make is this is like
the polar opposite of what I thought this team was
doing the week before, weeks before, which is like they
weren't buying into the team game plan. It didn't seem
like and there was not like a unity that we're
used to seeing, and we kept hearing that the locker
room was a bunch of single guys. It's like backstage
(23:48):
at an Eagles concerts, you know, exparate dressing the exactly.
But when DK metcalf is going in and covering punts
and scronic.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Also his effort on that one play.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I don't know if you guys saw that where he
just got double team and knocked out a bounce and
kept fight. He kept running back to people with He
got knocked down a bunch of times, and he kept
getting back up and trying to cover the punt. I mean,
Danny Smith really had those guys dialed in yesterday.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Well, I think the whole team was styled. And I
mean Queen Eccles and betten all came back from injury.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And Queen's injury looked like he was gonna need a wheelchair.
And imagine they didn't have Betton Harmon.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, oh why he black made a big play when
he was in for him. He almost brought down Lamar.
That guy whoever that right guard is, That guy got
crushed yesterday.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I believe that was the great Daniel. Yeah, I think
him and Lamar had some words. He's like Jojo the Whale.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Yeah, you don't walk with Daniel, you walk among him.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So he's a mass. I think he's pushing four bills
Kinger back in the day, you did the postgame show. Yes,
there's a network.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Mike is currently at the helm there and I always
asked Mike to pull one call out from the post
game because I like to just to know the tenor
of Steeler nageist, Like, what are you guys feeling? Because
to me, I was elited. I was just so glad
we beat the Ravens. I don't get by hook or
by crook. I don't care. Let's get the w and uh.
(25:16):
This is from that postgame show with Charlie Batch that
Mike pursuer runs.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Max in Houston. You're up next with Mike and Charlie.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Hey, guys, I'm going to agree with that guy. Just
from Boswell, Pa. There, I was calling to put a cold,
wet bucket of ice in the blanket on all this giddiness,
the Stiller defense, if you realistic play look at this
game was not good. During the week, I heard some
(25:46):
national announcement referred to it as the silk curtain no
longer than the still curtain, and I have to agree.
First drive, they went right down the silk, but we
did hold them to a silk golf after we up
the lead when Boswell picked it short, but the penalty
we gave him at the ball to forty end of
a half, it was very important. At the end of
(26:09):
the half, they went down and scored a touchdown. The
second half, the defense never really stopped them. It was
that one controversial play on the touchdown that stopped them.
If they didn't miss the extra point, they probably would
have kicked the fill goal then and then yes, Alex
tight Smith and the last play he miraculously got a
(26:32):
sack and that saved the day. But this defense, this
entire year is not championship worthy.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I'm going to stop it there because I'm guessing.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
He went on to say that they're going to get
blown out in the first round again.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Oh yes, all right, Well you know.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
The silk kurt and he thought that was funny. Well
did you know that silk has a greater tensile strength
then steel?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
But oh but it doesn't break. Wow, take that pipe
and smoke.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
It's good now about that, you SLK fan.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
I know that because I watched Spider Man two just yesterday.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I knew there was Spider Man.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
I knew there was going to be at least one
of those I just because you told me to keep
an eye out for a good call.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
That's it. I don't have to write any more down.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
I read the comments the Calvin Austin clip that I
played today. Mike Defebo from The Athletic posted that on Twitter,
and I made the mistake of reading the comments underneath it.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
And that's the clip where Calvin Austin said, you know,
you guys can care.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
If the whole world booze.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
Yeah, there's just some people who are going to refuse
to take any joy out of this season.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
God bless you all. If that's the way you want
to go through life, have at it. Why are you watching?
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I thought yesterday was one of the first times this
year I felt like it was the Steelers. They were
playing like this.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
It was hard. Guys were getting knocked out of the
game left and right.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Know, the pent up frustration that got released and alleviated
with the first bomb to decay. Oh my god, that
was a soothing bomb on this entire season. A bomb ball,
a bomb bomb. It was a bomb bomb.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Who told you to put the bomb on? The bomb?
The bomb?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
My dog was going crazy because that's I was screaming.
Anytime I screamed, the dog goes creaky.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
So I'm like god.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
A bunch of times during the game yesterday, and that's
kind of like the first time it felt like that
this year. I don't know, it felt to me like
it really got back to some stealer football.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I understand the concerns about the defense.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
We said there was one big splash play on the
defense there and this was I think Queen was hurt
on that series.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I'm not sure the one what hulkumb Hulk was in.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
It was in they had a shot to get him
in the backfield and then he ran through Hulcomb about
four yards into it and then he was gone.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And I know you say those plays count, but like
they still looked a lot better than they did against
the Bills, And it was this is the description I
thought of during the commercial break. It looked hopeless versus
the Bills. It's like nothing is gonna work. They cannot
stop them. And I didn't think that at all yesterday.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I thought they could. There was times they didn't. They
looked coached up better. They looked like they.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Were a gap sound guys weren't way out of position.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
That sounds let's.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Not never use that a deep scheming eschematics and gap
sound or every time something goes a while. We weren't guess,
but there is. There was a beat down element to
the Bills. They just kept getting seven yards, eight yards,
you know, second and two, second and three and yeah, right,
(29:45):
and the Steelers, Okay, Henry got a couple of big runs.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
He's the greatest December running back in NFL history.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yes, but then history and then ever you would look
up and then it would be third and six, right, yep,
and they won the game. They're in first place. It is,
it is, Yes, the.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
One game you want to win above all the other
ones is Baltimore and BALI in Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I understand.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
We all see our own warts the clearest, right, That's
just the way it is. But look at the NFL.
The Chiefs are six and seven. For some reason, Tampa
Bay lost at home to New Orleans, New Orleans. I
have no I it is the strangest This is the
simple strangest season in the NFL I can ever remember.
And I and I talk about it with the other
(30:36):
play by play guys are going, hey, what's going on.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
In the steam room, you guys? No, no, no, it's
it's a it's a it's a.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
They're they're also doing play by play executive and we
were talking about yesterday like this is the weirdest year
I can ever remember.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Speaking of, which talk about looking up and seeing something.
The Texans, who I didn't even I thought they were
as bad as the Titans, all of a sudden might
actually be the leading best potential team in the AFC.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
When you have a defense like that, and then and
you can run quarterbacks back C J. Stroud finally back, which,
by the way, that was what the Steelers are supposed
to be this year. Historic defense and a running attack,
and then Aaron Rodgers steering the entire thing right, who.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Knows they ran yesterday?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Though, I meant, well, if they're going to win it,
it is apparently not on the ground.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
What do you think is a bigger loss to them? Washington?
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Yeah, Washington over Andreo anybody else you were going to mention? Yeah,
they did?
Speaker 5 (31:44):
He say after postgame, like, how I guess that he
never makes a comment how long anyone's gonna.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Be percussion guys, I still know what you saw when
he fell and his head kind of whacked off the ground.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
There is kind of That's what I'm saying. His head
also weighs eighty five. That's very that's a lot of
force going down. Yeah, you could tell he was hurting,
But I don't know. I thought the Steelers played with
a lot of grit yesterday. I thought Deyla Cook did fine.
Then they even stopped helping him after a series. It
was only thirteen snaps. But this is a guy who
(32:16):
was on Tampa's undrafted out of Montana. He was on
Tampa's practice squad in twenty twenty two, didn't play. He
was on a Steelers in twenty twenty three, didn't play.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
He was injured for most of twenty twenty four and
then brought back eventually to be on the practice squad.
That was his NFL debut yesterday. Yeah, but this is
a guy who has been practicing and prepping for a
long time. It wasn't too big for I mean, very
limited sample size. And then the other thing that is
potentially game changing in terms of what they're capable of.
Adam Steeling played forty eight percent of the snaps twenty five.
(32:51):
He was the second most used wide receiver. Oh wow,
he only got targeted once, but they clearly have plans
for this guy and Kiz Valdez Scantling played thirty one
percent of the snaps as many as Calvin Austin.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Just for funzies, I played them both for an any
time touchdown yesterday. They were plus nine hundred and plus
one thousand, respectively.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
We got ten bucks. Never killed anybody. Who Let's see
what happens here.
Speaker 7 (33:15):
You know, you know Valdess Scantling was not used for
four games. He should be up to speed by now.
And they did an unbelievable job with Feland just crash course,
you know, go back to stripes.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I learned two semesters of geology one night. You guys
ever crammed before? Yeah, I mean he crammed?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I think that guy at Scantling.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Said, is there any coincidence that those two guys are
running routes yesterday and playing that many downs and DK
has best game in Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
Doesn't believe in coincidences, as he told us Roma Wilson
got scratched, healthy scratch. I mean, it wasn't happening. It's
not all his fault. Rogers missed him in the last game.
He could have had a big play. Maybe Rogers doesn't
overthrow me. Still playing, but everybody, that's the lineup they
gotta go with.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
I think everybody thought Rowan Wilson was gonna be the
next Time's ward and he's turned out to be a
tomato can.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
All right, that was the last one I had had
that three hours. I just wanted to get that last
one in before I leave. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Thanks to Rob kigs see a kinger and also thanks
yeah head headphones, that's some of them.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Thankfully, silk is stronger than stuff like that today. I mean, Jeff,
I would probably check that to verify I am.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh don't. I'm prone to talking out of my silk glands.
Speaker 1 (35:03):

far as I'm condy said it first.
