Speaker 2 (00:28):
With air Lingus. Air Lingus, You're very welcome, everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
You're very welcome into the Irish Statters podcast on a
historic week obviously presented by air Lingus, and this is
a historic week for the Pittsburgh Staters. I am sitting
here on the rooftop of the Pittsburgh Steaeters Bar, that
Simon's and Temple Bar, along with my friend and colleague
from Pro Football Ireland, Mark Hogan. Mark. I would say
welcome to Dublin, but you this You're what a great
week for the NFL in general, This is fantastic to see.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I hope you listening in are listening in nice and
edge to this podcast, because yeah, it's a bit surreal
as we record this on a Tuesday, Michael on a
Tuesday curing the heart of Temple Bar and a rooftop
looking around at Steelers logos plast at every year in
Steelers Country, and this is apparently normal. We have the
NFL in Dublin in Ireland this weekend. It is absolutely outrageous.
(01:27):
I have hair standing up for just thinking about it.
I can't believe this week this game is finally here.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I know you had a chance to start out the
pro shop this morning for the Steelers on the NFL
store as well. It's been a great few days and folks,
obviously a pro shop is open all season as well,
not just this weekend. Get down too, just past Grappling
Street and have a look. Obviously, Mark before we look
at this weekend. You know you sort of mentioned it there,
but I was driving down to Dublin today and we've
obviously had the pleasure of doing stuff with the Steelers
(01:53):
over the last couple of years since it came into
the market with the Global Markets program, and it really
hit me when I seen this for Dublin and seeing
I think I drove in through the port tunnel, took
one look up at the city and went, oh my god,
this has happening and it's the big weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
It's a thing that actually, again you listening, tell me
when was your moment you're after saying yours is coming
in you see the sign for Dublin. Mine was I
went out on Friday last week to see the flags
and I was trying to get actually the Vikings flag
and I was like, where is it?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Where's it? And I was like, hold on a second,
what am.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I doing here? I'm looking for NFL flags and they're
very obvious. Don't get me wrong, it's me being an idiot.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
The city looks great.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
This city looks fantastic, honestly. And again as we look
around this bar, you have the better view than me.
I'm kind of looking at the wall, but it does
say you're in Steeters going through, which is surreal enough,
but even coming up the stairs it's well, you know,
documentary that this is the Steters Bar, big.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Time Stears bar. I'll tell you what. Obviously not from Dublin's.
I'm not in here too much. We're talking to people
from Pennsylvania, talking to people from Dublin. We're talking to
people that went to the Steelers Bar and gol Way.
I know Max Starks is currently on his Turrible Terrible
Tile tour. Folks, get that Irish terrible tile. It's incredible
with a tricolorer for the Sunday and wave it loud
and proud on Sunday. Have you seen Max was in
(03:10):
Kilarney and met Pody Clifford, Boddy Clifford and Cliff's are
more today. That man has seen more of the island
of Ireland than I have seen in my lifetime. And
he's been here for but like he literally done the
game on Sunday in New England, hopped over all the
Earlingas flight and he's been on a little lovely wee
bus and I believe he's wing north as well as
you're like just just later on in the week.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
But you know what, and it's exactly you know, that's
exactly it.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
We as Irish people are thrilled that the game is here,
that we naturally having a great time. The Americans are
coming over, the weather is actually looking all right. When
you see Max gone round. It all looks stunning. It's
like everyone's in such a great form that it's like, again,
appreciate every single second this. You never know when it's
going to come back. We all hope that will be
a yearly thing. Don't even worry about that right now.
(03:51):
Live in the moment. It's just while it's here.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But this is this is different to emmy over the
national game, and we've obviously been very lucky to go
with a lot of them across Europe, Mark and across
the world at this point now. But when you see
a team like the Steelers mister Rooney obviously was in
the pro shop earlier on. They're going to head up
north to both Belfast and near earlier on in the week,
it's more than a team coming in and putting the
pub together. This this really means a lot to this family,
and you can see that in not just in this bar,
(04:14):
but around the city. And I mean, for me, I'm
biased obviously because I live up north and I'm not
too far from Newey to see them cup to Belfast
later on this weekend, the newy really does mean an
awful lot on the on a personal level, and we
have a lot more to come this week on the But.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
That's it, Michael like in terms of don't just come
to the Steelers, bart go out and have a look
around Dublin a pre set. If you're in Belfast, if
you're in Galway, they have it on Shop Street at
the moment up there too. It's like it's all over
Ireland now it's just yeah, I don't know massive to.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Have it all here.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
So in terms of the Steelers last week, if we
touch on it very quickly, mark twenty one to fourteen
win against the Patriots on the road. And I'll say
this on a neutral basis. One on one in the season,
you're going in against Mike Freeble, who wants to win
that game. Julian Edelman is giving the Red Blazer. The
crowds pumped up and they win the game. And it
was dicey enough for a little while at fourteen fourteen,
(05:03):
but we've seen a team really come up. And the
one guy that I was really really happy for was
Calvin Austin in a contract year obviously getting that touchdown.
We've seen him at the end of the game. See
y'all in Ireland. He's been here a few times. But
look for me Mark. Going from Week two to week three,
that home opener against the Seahawks, there were mistakes. We
obviously seen the big mistake in terms of the touchback
(05:25):
that wasn't and we've seen a lot more improving on
in terms of our in terms of Aaron Rodgers looked
more mobile in the pocket for me, and certainly with
that offense, it's starting to take a little bit. I
want to see a bit more on the running game.
And I know we were talking earlier on about Gil
and Warren coming. I think he had forty odd yards
under their rushing.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Or st Yeah, Joe yea again, you teed it up
to me as the neutral, and neutral is what I
am now. Don't get me wrong. I wish there's bits
of rexceed this fan that meet that's in it and everything.
You know, fourteen nothing up. Yes you're thinking this week one.
You know we're back to the offense.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
It's working.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
The England Patriots are no you know, they're nothing to
laugh about on defense.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
It don't get me wrong.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Obviously it's a bit worrying when they tie the game up,
but it's the clutches again from the offense that has
been missing for a number of years obviously with the roundabout.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Of quarterbacks there.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
So I think that that's what I really take from it,
that like Aaron Rodgers was obviously a wizard with his
helm Mary's back, and then I know that's not what's
we're talking about here, but it's just that clutchness that
he's brought that they're able to pull it out and
even after they're after conceding the fourteen points to tie
it up, that they're still there. Now, I know you
want to say on this game, but of course we're
(06:37):
going ahead.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
We were looking at Minnesota and yeah, we will.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Talk about it in a week second, I'll get your
full story in a wee sacon And I do want
to say just very quickly before we hear from coach Tomlin. Mark, Yes,
the offense is taken get a bit better week go
and week obviously I want to see it get to
the next level this weekend in double that defense. Really
sorry for me, I was buzzing to see her big
A really play well. In terms of socks.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
TJ.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Watt done well, Brandon Eckles with the interception as well.
For me, Mark, it's that real Steelers football that breeze
in football towards the end of the game, when you're
under pressure, you need to get the ball back and
the defense came up big. And we're gonna talk about
that game in Dublin in a wee minute and then
we get our thoughts on it, especially going to talk
about it at length this week ahead of the game
on Sunday. But this is the defense to play as well.
(07:18):
This is the defense that can come under pressure, and
they're gonna be under pressure on Sunday. But on Sunday
last week in New England, they got the job done
and it'll win as a win baby. The only thing
that matters is they were on that playing twenty one
to fourteen up. And the one thing that I love
the muster If you've seen this mark but then create
video of coach Hamlin, Cam Hayward and Aaron Rodgers just
walking through the locker and walk into the locker room
(07:39):
after the game like they were lifelong friends. Cam Hayward
had a far better game than than Week two. Looks
more progressed. I know he was obviously coming back in
after that time out, but really really good to see.
I think we're in for a really really interesting year
with this team. Before we talk about this game in
Dublin focus to remind people that the Steeters official bar
this weekend is in fitz Simons on Temple Bar. Do
check it out. There's a rooftop bar. There's gonna be
(08:01):
Steelers radio here from later on in the week. You
might see me up here at some point. And the
big one is got Mark we've seen at the college
game last month for Marion Square is a perfect place
to have a teal gip begins on Thursday. The Teal
Gate presented by our lingus. That's some spot if you're
in Dublin for the first time, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah, And you know the tickets are obviously still available.
Maybe you know about that a bit more.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I know it's under free, so we'll put the Lincoln
the Bible, get in and if you haven't got a
ticket for something, to check it out. I believe there's
also a documentary presented by our lingus on the Rooney
Family in Ireland, which is gonna be a fantastic watch
as well.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, one hundred percent. I've been distracted when I talked
to you, name Michael, all.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
These Steelers fans as I was watching this going who
are these guys.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Who are these guys.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
One of the things that are after noticing is I
know that Pittsburgh is in the great state of Pennsylvania.
There's some incredible murals that have been put up around
the Temple Bar area. There has been are worth checking out,
but they must be sponsored by visit Philadelphia or Pennsylvania.
Because there is the green bird over here the Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
There's an Eagles one there, Steters ones all round the city.
I was Sandy earlier on and a couple of guy
who sent me ones from Newry, from Belfast as well.
Great to see not just the seaters but the steel
as well. Getting involved Mark, this is a historic week.
Before we talk about that, let's hear from Coach Salmon
with his faults of the Patriots game here on the
Irish Hitters podcast presented by Earning us.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Man.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
It's great to win in the National Football League. Appreciative
of the efforts today. Certainly required sixty minutes of effort
on all three phases to get it done. Certainly there
are a lot of things to work on, but it's
good to do that with the win. A couple of
things of note. I thought we started fast offensively, but
then we stalled out obviously, particularly in the second half,
(09:43):
but a lot of credit goes to New England and
their defense and what they were doing. They were major
components of that. Defensively, I thought we were really tight
in the red zone and things of that nature. I
thought we could have been better on possession downs. Thankfully
we took the ball away from him to alleviate some
of that lack of zession down success. But all in
(10:03):
all it was good team victory. Man, we fought for
sixty minutes. We utilize a lot of people, specialization of talent,
the vision of labor, things of that nature. Still finding
our way, you know, with the number of new people
and people out and things of that nature. And so
it was a good experience. No significant injuries to mention.
Slave miss some time in the game with the lad contusion.
(10:24):
I think he was able to get back in and finish.
Saying with Broderick, but we'll stack this one.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Questions the goal on how business.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
One to the end of the half huge, you know,
That's why we spend as much time practicing down in
that space as we do as a collective. We got
to be great on defense, uh, in the effort to
win the points wing. We got to be great on offense.
And when you take the ball away, man, you get
all seven points. Usually you're fighting for four. But man,
those takeaways, particularly down there, were big.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, that's technique.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Is some of the things you're working on, the punching
and stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
No question. You know, we spent a lot of time
on our ball search culture. But it's just words. It's
an agenda. The efforts of the guys make it real
not only on Sunday, but but during the course of
the week. And you know, it just felt like we
were headed toward a good game in that area, just
by the way we worked this week in that area.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Playing.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
But at the end, boom boom boom right down the
field are and.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Makes some play. So you know, and that's oftentimes the case. Man.
You can it cannot be going the way you desire,
but you better have enough emotion, you better have enough belief,
you better stay the course in an effort to do it.
You could say the same thing about the defense in
in New York, uh, and we were able to finish
it at the end. Same thing with the offense today.
(11:44):
But that's what team is about. Good to hear from coach.
So I'm here on the Irish Theaters podcasts out by
our Langcas. We're all the Kish before the Madness begins
and fits Simon's Bar Temple Bar and is dak Dyte
in Caedars gear. You can see the Ireland logo twenty
twenty five zeneb arlingcos around us.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
We're in the rooftop part. If you're a fan of
the Steedars Nation radio talent and also Steelers' legends, get
down here this weekend for a lot of fun that's
gonna happen. Hopefully I'll see you around as well. Mark.
As I said in the first part of this podcast,
we know that mister Rooney and Edgeron Bettis among ours
are heading up north to Neuri and the Belfast Leater
on this week historic to see where a Rooney family
is from. It's something that I've talked about a few times.
(12:22):
It's a real American's dream, Mark. It really is two
hundred years on almost from when the Really family left
Neuri to go to North America to really look at
their life and change your life for the better. And
look what they're bringing back the Pittsburgh Stedars the time
in the Historic first hour NFL doubling game this week.
You can watch the game on Virgin Media one if
you do not have a ticket. The game begins at
(12:44):
one point thirty. It's also on Sky Sports, and I
believe it's on NFL Game Pass on the Zone with
NFL Network and Mark, I can't believe we're sitting here
about to talk about this an NFL gamer coup park
and the Stars are a part of the first one.
Nobody can take that away from the Rooney family or
the theaters. And that's a historic moment. But this is
a any any international matchup with a tricky matchup. The
(13:04):
one thing that's changed is we last seen the shop
for a few weeks ago, is we don't have JJ
McCarthy anymore. We've got Carson Wentz. Aren Jones is not
going to be there for the Vikings win. The one
thing I would say is backup quarterbacks can kind at times,
not of dodgy games, but they can struggle in games.
And it's gonna be on the Steelers defense to take
in the crowd, to take any out of Steeers fans
here and embrace it as a home game and get
(13:25):
the crowd on their side early. Stop this team early.
From a general point of view, I think for a
neutral or for a Steelers fanner for a Vikings fan,
we have the prospect here of having a really really
good end to end game. What's your thoughts on the generally.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah, I mean, there's an apt im pack with what
you're saying there, because I one hundred percent think that
it's the point that can be you know, talked about more.
We haven't seen a whole lot of JJ McCarthy, so
you know, you don't know what you're actually missing with
him going out for the Minnesota Vikings. Like we know,
see what two games Week one, Week two that was injured.
In terms of Carson Wentz, we understand that he is
perceived to have a ceiling. Okay, I'll take that, but
(14:00):
it's like, it's not like the Minnesota Vikings are taking
a drop off with him there, and certainly he's he's
in last week and the defense was able to step up.
So it's an extremely It's probably the most competitive game
we can say that in the international.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
State this week, which is it's in my opinion, it's
the best international game this year. It is, and it's
a credit to have both teams here I'm really really
excited for you talk about J J mccarfy. Let's flip
it around to the Steelers. We've had the pleasure of
meeting mister Rogers before. Lovely guy. He's used to coming in,
going out and getting the job done in overseas terartory,
and I think that's a credit to him, and I
think it's going to be a very important thing on Sunday.
(14:35):
He can blank out the space, he can get, he
can get himself into that mindset of going out. It
doesn't matter of the games in Ireland, it doesn't matter
if the games in France. For him, he can get
the job done. And I think that could be key
to Sunday, to be.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Honest, And what's key is revenge game.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Last time we saw Aaron Rodgers, he was after playing
this same Minnesota Vikings defense in London and we talked
to him about what Van ginkel there on the defenses
after picking him off, and he said, Christmas has come
early for you. And that's what I said to in
the press conference after his bang gig. Who has given
you a props or whatever? So like these things Aaron
Rodgers doAnd doesn't like to be picked off twice with
the same.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Player, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yes, he he's obviously in a better system now with
the Pittsburgh Steelers than he was with the New York Jets.
Put it into action what he wasn't able to do
and was so frustrated with the New York Jets last year.
Those wrongs have been righted by his coming to Pittsburgh.
I can't wait to see him actually get to play
the game that he wants. The planes that have having
to complain about on the plane.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
On the way home.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I was on a call today. I was on a
call today getting ahead of Sunday for the production of
version of media, and one of the things that guy said,
I'll not say who it is, but somebody talked about
the kicking and crop park and that people rugby players
have found it different to kicking in the normal stadium.
And I thought it was a very interesting comment because
if Steelers have got a guy in Chris Boswell who
(15:50):
was a freak of nature, you give him a fifty
sixty yarder, he can give it the best shot he has.
And we've seen over the last couple of weekends mark
not just defensive players, but kicking players where kickers have struggled.
If boss Well can get that under stretch, get in
early and Sunday get it ahead of a partly kicking
towards the hill is more different apparently at something we
were talking about earlier on. It'll be interesting to see
if what happens for either kicker, but certainly a stadium
(16:12):
which is different because it's it's going to be like
the field is going to be enclosed in the middle
of the It's going to be a lot different to
what they're used to. I guess at Akrasher going to
a stadium in the US, it's going.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
To be a different sadium. It's interesting what you say
about rugby players thinking that the field is different. So
one piece of information that I did not know about
the crow Park field is that it's not completely flat normally,
so they've actually had to make it completely level. I
don't know what process that took, but it's it's complete.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
And we know that the NFL field team have been
over here but six or seven times this year working
on it, and there has not been a competitive game
since the Leade's all art and finally, so.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Will potentially that quirk that the rugby players not even
potentially I would actually quite confidently say that quirk that
the rugby players find, I'd imagine that has been taken out,
but it is the whole thing. It's like Colin Cooper
was asked for the last All Ireland. He was on
off the ball and it was like, is there such
a thing as the kicking post? And he said, absolutely,
(17:11):
You're dead right. It's like players for some reason always
do well. He was saying, down into the hill, Down
into the hill is the kicking post, right, because now
I'm like, no, it's up the canal in But anyway,
Guch was saying that he likes kicking into the hill.
The hill will be an experience for them. What NFL
stadium is only what like two stories. It's going to
be completely different for obviously both teams. And then to
(17:33):
look up to those that absolute sea of people when
you go up to the other end, Like anytime I
do media, Michael, everyone is blown away by the size
of the stadium. Now they're using obviously eighty two thousand number.
It's obviously aboutty probably seventy six thousand, so it is obviously,
but that's just because the seats the stadium won't look
different to you or I that are used to seeing
(17:53):
it on our and are shorter than usual.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Ga Summers, Michael, it's.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Odd that we're talking about it and I love it,
And the only other thing I'll add for people, especially
because I know we have an audience in Northern America
listening to this and they probably listen to me and
zero point five because I probably talked too fast. So
you're very, very welcome this week on a very special week.
Looking forward to talking to you and all the guys.
Max STARKSX actually that they're on in the week, hopefully
in this bar as well, and proper grass, proper grass,
(18:19):
and that's going to be a big difference as well. Mark,
I'm not gonna give away. I'm not gonna give away
my game pick. I'll get yours in the week. Second,
I'm conscious that I'm giving my opinion here and we
don't want to go into too much here, but I
can only imagine how special it's going to be when
this team come out on Sunday, because we know that
the lay Dan Ronney will be watching on from above.
I have no doubt about that. It would have meant
an awful lot to him to bring this team here
(18:40):
this weekend, and because I don't know and we don't know,
I can only imagine what's planned for that at SOAR.
I think it's gonna be very, very emotional.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I hope the country is completely sailors. Like literally, they
are the ones that brought this game here. I think
for the rest of Attorney Ireland should be a Pittsburgh
Seilers team. And it's because it means like it means
something to them. And that's what I've said ever since.
It means something to them. They're the home team. They
really want it. We've said, whether it's this podcast, whether
(19:09):
it's activating in Ireland before anyone else, well obviously the
Jagson the same day, but really activating, you.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Know, hosting your draft parties, your watch parties, you know,
coming to the Belfast Trojans, to the court operals, to
do slaging.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
With current players as well whatever they're taking their rob
breaking out he was here last year. Like they're not
sending token gestures. They have genuinely yessed and it's not
no one has ever thought about financials when it's come
to this team, or certainly when any of the other teams,
like oh well they're not doing that. Because it's probably
not worth their while. The Steelers have proven time and
(19:41):
time again, and that's why I'm so happy to join
this podcast anytime it can, because it is such an
honor to have an Irish Steelers podcast. Is anything related
to this team is goal to me right now, and
it's just like I can't believe that they've chosen our
little lolil and over here to be so historic. We
have enhanced the audio in this, but they're playing Hills
of the League all the background, and I know that
(20:02):
there's people coming from Donny Gall from Cork.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I would say all thirty two counties are gonna be represented.
Mark with high the hesitation on Sunday and very very
excited for it. Before we get your game pick you
mentioned off the ball second to go. You can listen
to that as well if you if you're in the car,
and if you're in the car, get to the house
watch it in TV, but if you're in the car,
listen to it on otb's app just to repeat the game.
Virgin Media one, Sky Sports if you're in Northern Ireland
as well, Channel five if you can't catch this on Virgin.
(20:25):
Really really excited for it. Mark, just before we go
give us your unbiased game prediction. Who do you think
is gonna win? And I will say one thing while
I give them my prediction away. I think we're gonna
see a breakout game from DK in this game. I
think DK is gonna have a big day on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I can't give an unbiased but it's completely biased. I
hope the country, and I really believe the country gets
behind the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
It's not gonna be easy, Michael.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
When you say breakout game, it's like that defense is
so legit, like it was legit last year for the
Vikings with Brian Flores. It has not missed a beat
so far. They're gonna be scary for any team. But
I just really hope and believe that the occasion it
has landed with the Pittsburgh Steedlers by you know, Irish
(21:07):
guys working for the team or whoever to do Irish cliffs,
like they've known about this game more than any other
players know you about, Darian.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
I've enjoyed that stuff.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
I've enjoyed I've enjoyed the content As a score pick, though,
if you're gonna say students a score pick, oh, I
think it's close four twenty one. I don't think it's
going to be explosive explosive offense something like that twenty
one to fourteen again wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Okay, interesting. So just to remind people that the Steelers
bar in FitzSimons is here all week in Temple Bar.
Speaker 5 (21:33):

Speaker 3 (00:40):
You're very welcome into the Irish Statters podcast on a
historic week obviously presented by air Lingus, and this is
a historic week for the Pittsburgh Staters. I am sitting
here on the rooftop of the Pittsburgh Steaeters Bar, that
Simon's and Temple Bar, along with my friend and colleague
from Pro Football Ireland, Mark Hogan. Mark. I would say
welcome to Dublin, but you this You're what a great
week for the NFL in general, This is fantastic to see.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I hope you listening in are listening in nice and
edge to this podcast, because yeah, it's a bit surreal
as we record this on a Tuesday, Michael on a
Tuesday curing the heart of Temple Bar and a rooftop
looking around at Steelers logos plast at every year in
Steelers Country, and this is apparently normal. We have the
NFL in Dublin in Ireland this weekend. It is absolutely outrageous.
(01:27):
I have hair standing up for just thinking about it.
I can't believe this week this game is finally here.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I know you had a chance to start out the
pro shop this morning for the Steelers on the NFL
store as well. It's been a great few days and folks,
obviously a pro shop is open all season as well,
not just this weekend. Get down too, just past Grappling
Street and have a look. Obviously, Mark before we look
at this weekend. You know you sort of mentioned it there,
but I was driving down to Dublin today and we've
obviously had the pleasure of doing stuff with the Steelers
(01:53):
over the last couple of years since it came into
the market with the Global Markets program, and it really
hit me when I seen this for Dublin and seeing
I think I drove in through the port tunnel, took
one look up at the city and went, oh my god,
this has happening and it's the big weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
It's a thing that actually, again you listening, tell me
when was your moment you're after saying yours is coming
in you see the sign for Dublin. Mine was I
went out on Friday last week to see the flags
and I was trying to get actually the Vikings flag
and I was like, where is it?
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Where's it? And I was like, hold on a second,
what am.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I doing here? I'm looking for NFL flags and they're
very obvious. Don't get me wrong, it's me being an idiot.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
The city looks great.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
This city looks fantastic, honestly. And again as we look
around this bar, you have the better view than me.
I'm kind of looking at the wall, but it does
say you're in Steeters going through, which is surreal enough,
but even coming up the stairs it's well, you know,
documentary that this is the Steters Bar, big.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Time Stears bar. I'll tell you what. Obviously not from Dublin's.
I'm not in here too much. We're talking to people
from Pennsylvania, talking to people from Dublin. We're talking to
people that went to the Steelers Bar and gol Way.
I know Max Starks is currently on his Turrible Terrible
Tile tour. Folks, get that Irish terrible tile. It's incredible
with a tricolorer for the Sunday and wave it loud
and proud on Sunday. Have you seen Max was in
(03:10):
Kilarney and met Pody Clifford, Boddy Clifford and Cliff's are
more today. That man has seen more of the island
of Ireland than I have seen in my lifetime. And
he's been here for but like he literally done the
game on Sunday in New England, hopped over all the
Earlingas flight and he's been on a little lovely wee
bus and I believe he's wing north as well as
you're like just just later on in the week.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
But you know what, and it's exactly you know, that's
exactly it.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
We as Irish people are thrilled that the game is here,
that we naturally having a great time. The Americans are
coming over, the weather is actually looking all right. When
you see Max gone round. It all looks stunning. It's
like everyone's in such a great form that it's like, again,
appreciate every single second this. You never know when it's
going to come back. We all hope that will be
a yearly thing. Don't even worry about that right now.
(03:51):
Live in the moment. It's just while it's here.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But this is this is different to emmy over the
national game, and we've obviously been very lucky to go
with a lot of them across Europe, Mark and across
the world at this point now. But when you see
a team like the Steelers mister Rooney obviously was in
the pro shop earlier on. They're going to head up
north to both Belfast and near earlier on in the week,
it's more than a team coming in and putting the
pub together. This this really means a lot to this family,
and you can see that in not just in this bar,
(04:14):
but around the city. And I mean, for me, I'm
biased obviously because I live up north and I'm not
too far from Newey to see them cup to Belfast
later on this weekend, the newy really does mean an
awful lot on the on a personal level, and we
have a lot more to come this week on the But.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
That's it, Michael like in terms of don't just come
to the Steelers, bart go out and have a look
around Dublin a pre set. If you're in Belfast, if
you're in Galway, they have it on Shop Street at
the moment up there too. It's like it's all over
Ireland now it's just yeah, I don't know massive to.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Have it all here.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
So in terms of the Steelers last week, if we
touch on it very quickly, mark twenty one to fourteen
win against the Patriots on the road. And I'll say
this on a neutral basis. One on one in the season,
you're going in against Mike Freeble, who wants to win
that game. Julian Edelman is giving the Red Blazer. The
crowds pumped up and they win the game. And it
was dicey enough for a little while at fourteen fourteen,
(05:03):
but we've seen a team really come up. And the
one guy that I was really really happy for was
Calvin Austin in a contract year obviously getting that touchdown.
We've seen him at the end of the game. See
y'all in Ireland. He's been here a few times. But
look for me Mark. Going from Week two to week three,
that home opener against the Seahawks, there were mistakes. We
obviously seen the big mistake in terms of the touchback
(05:25):
that wasn't and we've seen a lot more improving on
in terms of our in terms of Aaron Rodgers looked
more mobile in the pocket for me, and certainly with
that offense, it's starting to take a little bit. I
want to see a bit more on the running game.
And I know we were talking earlier on about Gil
and Warren coming. I think he had forty odd yards
under their rushing.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Or st Yeah, Joe yea again, you teed it up
to me as the neutral, and neutral is what I
am now. Don't get me wrong. I wish there's bits
of rexceed this fan that meet that's in it and everything.
You know, fourteen nothing up. Yes you're thinking this week one.
You know we're back to the offense.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
It's working.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
The England Patriots are no you know, they're nothing to
laugh about on defense.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
It don't get me wrong.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Obviously it's a bit worrying when they tie the game up,
but it's the clutches again from the offense that has
been missing for a number of years obviously with the roundabout.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Of quarterbacks there.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
So I think that that's what I really take from it,
that like Aaron Rodgers was obviously a wizard with his
helm Mary's back, and then I know that's not what's
we're talking about here, but it's just that clutchness that
he's brought that they're able to pull it out and
even after they're after conceding the fourteen points to tie
it up, that they're still there. Now, I know you
want to say on this game, but of course we're
(06:37):
going ahead.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
We were looking at Minnesota and yeah, we will.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Talk about it in a week second, I'll get your
full story in a wee sacon And I do want
to say just very quickly before we hear from coach Tomlin. Mark, Yes,
the offense is taken get a bit better week go
and week obviously I want to see it get to
the next level this weekend in double that defense. Really
sorry for me, I was buzzing to see her big
A really play well. In terms of socks.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
TJ.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Watt done well, Brandon Eckles with the interception as well.
For me, Mark, it's that real Steelers football that breeze
in football towards the end of the game, when you're
under pressure, you need to get the ball back and
the defense came up big. And we're gonna talk about
that game in Dublin in a wee minute and then
we get our thoughts on it, especially going to talk
about it at length this week ahead of the game
on Sunday. But this is the defense to play as well.
(07:18):
This is the defense that can come under pressure, and
they're gonna be under pressure on Sunday. But on Sunday
last week in New England, they got the job done
and it'll win as a win baby. The only thing
that matters is they were on that playing twenty one
to fourteen up. And the one thing that I love
the muster If you've seen this mark but then create
video of coach Hamlin, Cam Hayward and Aaron Rodgers just
walking through the locker and walk into the locker room
(07:39):
after the game like they were lifelong friends. Cam Hayward
had a far better game than than Week two. Looks
more progressed. I know he was obviously coming back in
after that time out, but really really good to see.
I think we're in for a really really interesting year
with this team. Before we talk about this game in
Dublin focus to remind people that the Steeters official bar
this weekend is in fitz Simons on Temple Bar. Do
check it out. There's a rooftop bar. There's gonna be
(08:01):
Steelers radio here from later on in the week. You
might see me up here at some point. And the
big one is got Mark we've seen at the college
game last month for Marion Square is a perfect place
to have a teal gip begins on Thursday. The Teal
Gate presented by our lingus. That's some spot if you're
in Dublin for the first time, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah, And you know the tickets are obviously still available.
Maybe you know about that a bit more.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I know it's under free, so we'll put the Lincoln
the Bible, get in and if you haven't got a
ticket for something, to check it out. I believe there's
also a documentary presented by our lingus on the Rooney
Family in Ireland, which is gonna be a fantastic watch
as well.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, one hundred percent. I've been distracted when I talked
to you, name Michael, all.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
These Steelers fans as I was watching this going who
are these guys.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Who are these guys.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
One of the things that are after noticing is I
know that Pittsburgh is in the great state of Pennsylvania.
There's some incredible murals that have been put up around
the Temple Bar area. There has been are worth checking out,
but they must be sponsored by visit Philadelphia or Pennsylvania.
Because there is the green bird over here the Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
There's an Eagles one there, Steters ones all round the city.
I was Sandy earlier on and a couple of guy
who sent me ones from Newry, from Belfast as well.
Great to see not just the seaters but the steel
as well. Getting involved Mark, this is a historic week.
Before we talk about that, let's hear from Coach Salmon
with his faults of the Patriots game here on the
Irish Hitters podcast presented by Earning us.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Man.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
It's great to win in the National Football League. Appreciative
of the efforts today. Certainly required sixty minutes of effort
on all three phases to get it done. Certainly there
are a lot of things to work on, but it's
good to do that with the win. A couple of
things of note. I thought we started fast offensively, but
then we stalled out obviously, particularly in the second half,
(09:43):
but a lot of credit goes to New England and
their defense and what they were doing. They were major
components of that. Defensively, I thought we were really tight
in the red zone and things of that nature. I
thought we could have been better on possession downs. Thankfully
we took the ball away from him to alleviate some
of that lack of zession down success. But all in
(10:03):
all it was good team victory. Man, we fought for
sixty minutes. We utilize a lot of people, specialization of talent,
the vision of labor, things of that nature. Still finding
our way, you know, with the number of new people
and people out and things of that nature. And so
it was a good experience. No significant injuries to mention.
Slave miss some time in the game with the lad contusion.
(10:24):
I think he was able to get back in and finish.
Saying with Broderick, but we'll stack this one.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Questions the goal on how business.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
One to the end of the half huge, you know,
That's why we spend as much time practicing down in
that space as we do as a collective. We got
to be great on defense, uh, in the effort to
win the points wing. We got to be great on offense.
And when you take the ball away, man, you get
all seven points. Usually you're fighting for four. But man,
those takeaways, particularly down there, were big.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, that's technique.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Is some of the things you're working on, the punching
and stuff like that.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
No question. You know, we spent a lot of time
on our ball search culture. But it's just words. It's
an agenda. The efforts of the guys make it real
not only on Sunday, but but during the course of
the week. And you know, it just felt like we
were headed toward a good game in that area, just
by the way we worked this week in that area.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Playing.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
But at the end, boom boom boom right down the
field are and.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Makes some play. So you know, and that's oftentimes the case. Man.
You can it cannot be going the way you desire,
but you better have enough emotion, you better have enough belief,
you better stay the course in an effort to do it.
You could say the same thing about the defense in
in New York, uh, and we were able to finish
it at the end. Same thing with the offense today.
(11:44):
But that's what team is about. Good to hear from coach.
So I'm here on the Irish Theaters podcasts out by
our Langcas. We're all the Kish before the Madness begins
and fits Simon's Bar Temple Bar and is dak Dyte
in Caedars gear. You can see the Ireland logo twenty
twenty five zeneb arlingcos around us.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
We're in the rooftop part. If you're a fan of
the Steedars Nation radio talent and also Steelers' legends, get
down here this weekend for a lot of fun that's
gonna happen. Hopefully I'll see you around as well. Mark.
As I said in the first part of this podcast,
we know that mister Rooney and Edgeron Bettis among ours
are heading up north to Neuri and the Belfast Leater
on this week historic to see where a Rooney family
is from. It's something that I've talked about a few times.
(12:22):
It's a real American's dream, Mark. It really is two
hundred years on almost from when the Really family left
Neuri to go to North America to really look at
their life and change your life for the better. And
look what they're bringing back the Pittsburgh Stedars the time
in the Historic first hour NFL doubling game this week.
You can watch the game on Virgin Media one if
you do not have a ticket. The game begins at
(12:44):
one point thirty. It's also on Sky Sports, and I
believe it's on NFL Game Pass on the Zone with
NFL Network and Mark, I can't believe we're sitting here
about to talk about this an NFL gamer coup park
and the Stars are a part of the first one.
Nobody can take that away from the Rooney family or
the theaters. And that's a historic moment. But this is
a any any international matchup with a tricky matchup. The
(13:04):
one thing that's changed is we last seen the shop
for a few weeks ago, is we don't have JJ
McCarthy anymore. We've got Carson Wentz. Aren Jones is not
going to be there for the Vikings win. The one
thing I would say is backup quarterbacks can kind at times,
not of dodgy games, but they can struggle in games.
And it's gonna be on the Steelers defense to take
in the crowd, to take any out of Steeers fans
here and embrace it as a home game and get
(13:25):
the crowd on their side early. Stop this team early.
From a general point of view, I think for a
neutral or for a Steelers fanner for a Vikings fan,
we have the prospect here of having a really really
good end to end game. What's your thoughts on the generally.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah, I mean, there's an apt im pack with what
you're saying there, because I one hundred percent think that
it's the point that can be you know, talked about more.
We haven't seen a whole lot of JJ McCarthy, so
you know, you don't know what you're actually missing with
him going out for the Minnesota Vikings. Like we know,
see what two games Week one, Week two that was injured.
In terms of Carson Wentz, we understand that he is
perceived to have a ceiling. Okay, I'll take that, but
(14:00):
it's like, it's not like the Minnesota Vikings are taking
a drop off with him there, and certainly he's he's
in last week and the defense was able to step up.
So it's an extremely It's probably the most competitive game
we can say that in the international.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
State this week, which is it's in my opinion, it's
the best international game this year. It is, and it's
a credit to have both teams here I'm really really
excited for you talk about J J mccarfy. Let's flip
it around to the Steelers. We've had the pleasure of
meeting mister Rogers before. Lovely guy. He's used to coming in,
going out and getting the job done in overseas terartory,
and I think that's a credit to him, and I
think it's going to be a very important thing on Sunday.
(14:35):
He can blank out the space, he can get, he
can get himself into that mindset of going out. It
doesn't matter of the games in Ireland, it doesn't matter
if the games in France. For him, he can get
the job done. And I think that could be key
to Sunday, to be.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Honest, And what's key is revenge game.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Last time we saw Aaron Rodgers, he was after playing
this same Minnesota Vikings defense in London and we talked
to him about what Van ginkel there on the defenses
after picking him off, and he said, Christmas has come
early for you. And that's what I said to in
the press conference after his bang gig. Who has given
you a props or whatever? So like these things Aaron
Rodgers doAnd doesn't like to be picked off twice with
the same.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Player, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yes, he he's obviously in a better system now with
the Pittsburgh Steelers than he was with the New York Jets.
Put it into action what he wasn't able to do
and was so frustrated with the New York Jets last year.
Those wrongs have been righted by his coming to Pittsburgh.
I can't wait to see him actually get to play
the game that he wants. The planes that have having
to complain about on the plane.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
On the way home.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I was on a call today. I was on a
call today getting ahead of Sunday for the production of
version of media, and one of the things that guy said,
I'll not say who it is, but somebody talked about
the kicking and crop park and that people rugby players
have found it different to kicking in the normal stadium.
And I thought it was a very interesting comment because
if Steelers have got a guy in Chris Boswell who
(15:50):
was a freak of nature, you give him a fifty
sixty yarder, he can give it the best shot he has.
And we've seen over the last couple of weekends mark
not just defensive players, but kicking players where kickers have struggled.
If boss Well can get that under stretch, get in
early and Sunday get it ahead of a partly kicking
towards the hill is more different apparently at something we
were talking about earlier on. It'll be interesting to see
if what happens for either kicker, but certainly a stadium
(16:12):
which is different because it's it's going to be like
the field is going to be enclosed in the middle
of the It's going to be a lot different to
what they're used to. I guess at Akrasher going to
a stadium in the US, it's going.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
To be a different sadium. It's interesting what you say
about rugby players thinking that the field is different. So
one piece of information that I did not know about
the crow Park field is that it's not completely flat normally,
so they've actually had to make it completely level. I
don't know what process that took, but it's it's complete.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
And we know that the NFL field team have been
over here but six or seven times this year working
on it, and there has not been a competitive game
since the Leade's all art and finally, so.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Will potentially that quirk that the rugby players not even
potentially I would actually quite confidently say that quirk that
the rugby players find, I'd imagine that has been taken out,
but it is the whole thing. It's like Colin Cooper
was asked for the last All Ireland. He was on
off the ball and it was like, is there such
a thing as the kicking post? And he said, absolutely,
(17:11):
You're dead right. It's like players for some reason always
do well. He was saying, down into the hill, Down
into the hill is the kicking post, right, because now
I'm like, no, it's up the canal in But anyway,
Guch was saying that he likes kicking into the hill.
The hill will be an experience for them. What NFL
stadium is only what like two stories. It's going to
be completely different for obviously both teams. And then to
(17:33):
look up to those that absolute sea of people when
you go up to the other end, Like anytime I
do media, Michael, everyone is blown away by the size
of the stadium. Now they're using obviously eighty two thousand number.
It's obviously aboutty probably seventy six thousand, so it is obviously,
but that's just because the seats the stadium won't look
different to you or I that are used to seeing
(17:53):
it on our and are shorter than usual.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Ga Summers, Michael, it's.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Odd that we're talking about it and I love it,
And the only other thing I'll add for people, especially
because I know we have an audience in Northern America
listening to this and they probably listen to me and
zero point five because I probably talked too fast. So
you're very, very welcome this week on a very special week.
Looking forward to talking to you and all the guys.
Max STARKSX actually that they're on in the week, hopefully
in this bar as well, and proper grass, proper grass,
(18:19):
and that's going to be a big difference as well. Mark,
I'm not gonna give away. I'm not gonna give away
my game pick. I'll get yours in the week. Second,
I'm conscious that I'm giving my opinion here and we
don't want to go into too much here, but I
can only imagine how special it's going to be when
this team come out on Sunday, because we know that
the lay Dan Ronney will be watching on from above.
I have no doubt about that. It would have meant
an awful lot to him to bring this team here
(18:40):
this weekend, and because I don't know and we don't know,
I can only imagine what's planned for that at SOAR.
I think it's gonna be very, very emotional.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I hope the country is completely sailors. Like literally, they
are the ones that brought this game here. I think
for the rest of Attorney Ireland should be a Pittsburgh
Seilers team. And it's because it means like it means
something to them. And that's what I've said ever since.
It means something to them. They're the home team. They
really want it. We've said, whether it's this podcast, whether
(19:09):
it's activating in Ireland before anyone else, well obviously the
Jagson the same day, but really activating, you.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Know, hosting your draft parties, your watch parties, you know,
coming to the Belfast Trojans, to the court operals, to
do slaging.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
With current players as well whatever they're taking their rob
breaking out he was here last year. Like they're not
sending token gestures. They have genuinely yessed and it's not
no one has ever thought about financials when it's come
to this team, or certainly when any of the other teams,
like oh well they're not doing that. Because it's probably
not worth their while. The Steelers have proven time and
(19:41):
time again, and that's why I'm so happy to join
this podcast anytime it can, because it is such an
honor to have an Irish Steelers podcast. Is anything related
to this team is goal to me right now, and
it's just like I can't believe that they've chosen our
little lolil and over here to be so historic. We
have enhanced the audio in this, but they're playing Hills
of the League all the background, and I know that
(20:02):
there's people coming from Donny Gall from Cork.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I would say all thirty two counties are gonna be represented.
Mark with high the hesitation on Sunday and very very
excited for it. Before we get your game pick you
mentioned off the ball second to go. You can listen
to that as well if you if you're in the car,
and if you're in the car, get to the house
watch it in TV, but if you're in the car,
listen to it on otb's app just to repeat the game.
Virgin Media one, Sky Sports if you're in Northern Ireland
as well, Channel five if you can't catch this on Virgin.
(20:25):
Really really excited for it. Mark, just before we go
give us your unbiased game prediction. Who do you think
is gonna win? And I will say one thing while
I give them my prediction away. I think we're gonna
see a breakout game from DK in this game. I
think DK is gonna have a big day on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I can't give an unbiased but it's completely biased. I
hope the country, and I really believe the country gets
behind the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
It's not gonna be easy, Michael.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
When you say breakout game, it's like that defense is
so legit, like it was legit last year for the
Vikings with Brian Flores. It has not missed a beat
so far. They're gonna be scary for any team. But
I just really hope and believe that the occasion it
has landed with the Pittsburgh Steedlers by you know, Irish
(21:07):
guys working for the team or whoever to do Irish cliffs,
like they've known about this game more than any other
players know you about, Darian.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
I've enjoyed that stuff.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
I've enjoyed I've enjoyed the content As a score pick, though,
if you're gonna say students a score pick, oh, I
think it's close four twenty one. I don't think it's
going to be explosive explosive offense something like that twenty
one to fourteen again wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Okay, interesting. So just to remind people that the Steelers
bar in FitzSimons is here all week in Temple Bar.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Well, we be here.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
We will be here a good bit of it. And
I will say this, if you see a skives the
shouts say hello. And also, folks, if you can't get
if you can't get down here for whatever reason, if
it's family or you can't get a tech or whatever,
use a hashtag stueters Arland. We'd love to hear your
questions here. Fots. I'm gonna try to, honestly, gonna try
and do a podcast every day. This week. I'm heading
up to Nuri and Belfast this week. I'm on a
panel with mister Rooney on Saturday. And I will say
(21:55):
it's an honor and I just want to thank them
for the opportunities. Fink, the NFL for the opportunities. It's
a huge each week. We're so excited. Mark, thank you
very much for coming on man. Hopefully on the last
time that we do it as well, and folks, for
now you've been listening to the Irish Theaters podcast presented
by Erlingus.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Irish airline. Aer Lingus will proudly serve as the presenting
partner of Steelers Ireland twenty twenty five. Airlingus's growth in
North America continues in twenty twenty five as the airline
prepares to fly to two new US destinations, Nashville and Indianapolis,
using its new Airbus eight three twenty one xl or aircraft.
