nmop - gremlin and coach break down week 13 steelers football

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
I know you're upset. Hey, what's going on everybody?

(01:08):
It's me, the doll face G coming in hot with my man Coach Common.
What's up, brother? What's up brother?
What's up brother? Give me a second, I'll put my
pretty ass face on camera. Let's go diamond.
Baby, this is the. Without face gremlin baby, we
here for our. Weekly Still a Still a Nation

(01:30):
recap and preview this week we're going to recap on the
bears the buckle and we going tosee what's hit.
We're going to see what it's hitting for with the bills today
at 4:25 4/15. So I'm running around that time
so down face what you got for meon what you got for me on the

(01:51):
recap, baby. What you thinking?
Well, we'll try not to keep the recap long because everybody
watch this game. We saw what happened.
The offense sputtered. Mason Rudolph only threw one
pass over 10 yards. Every other pass that he had
with long yardage was yak. The running game did get going,
but they went away from the running game in the second-half.

(02:15):
This team befuddle, befuddles me.
They play a first half where they look very good.
They look like they're going to hold this Bears team down.
And then sure enough, in the second-half, they decide that
the they don't want to play hardanymore.
You know, TJ Watt got his glory stat and then was like he was
invisible the rest of the game. Yeah, yeah.

(02:37):
See, listen that. But see there, here's the thing
again, I'm going to take it backto the coaching.
I got to go back to coaching. Coaching is the reason for the
inconsistency. I cannot get to quality
back-to-back performances out ofthe offense or the defense.

(02:58):
We are unable to do that all season, all season.
And and like I said, there's only one common denominator in
all this, Mike Tommy, It's one common denominator.
It's one common denominator. All the roles that we have, all
the complaints, all of the all of the non adjustments being

(03:19):
made, OK, all the all the non adjustments being made, all of
the consistent flaws that we seethat are not being addressed
week in and week out. One common denominator Mike Tom,
Mike Tomlin, Mike Tomlin, Mike Tomlin and.

(03:42):
Listen, like I said, am I happy that we got Mike Tomlin in 2007?
Yes. He, he, he, he, he did a decent
job, did a very good job in the beginning, but at a point in
time, at a point in time, sometimes your, your time has
run his course in a certain areaand his time.

(04:06):
In Pittsburgh has ran his course.
He needs to go. I'm sorry, he needs to go.
He needs to go. All of the hires, all of the
coordinator, all the coordinatorhires, all of the all of the all
of the inconsistency, all that falls on him, all that falls on

(04:29):
him. We know and understand how the
Steelers run their organ, how the Rooney's run the steel
organization. We know and understand they give
Carr blanche to the head coordinator, to the head coach
on who comes, who stays, who leads, who's traded.
We know that the we know that the head coach has final say so
on all those things. And we also know that the head

(04:51):
coach with the final say so has been Mike Tomlin.
So he just got Listen, I. Appreciate you.
Great job, yo. It was great while while you had
it. It was great while you were
around. Yeah, you know, I.
It's time to go. I, I equate the Mike Tomlin
experience to a friend that you grew up with, you know, and that

(05:15):
eventually you guys separate your ways when you go to college
because you've just, you know, you're going, you're different,
different paths in life. It was like, thanks.
It's like when Mike Tomlin came in, it was like, thank you for
playing with Bill Cower's toys. Really appreciate you doing a
good job with the toys that he gave you.
And, you know, now that we see the toys that you like to bring
to the party, I don't like thosetoys.

(05:37):
Seems always, there's always something wrong with the toy
upstairs that he likes to bring to the party.
I don't like the fact that even our players are coming out and
talking about how there were adjustments that could have been
made and that the coaching staffjust completely refused to make
any adjustments. You know, it's two games in a
row now that one of our players has come out and just said it,

(06:01):
you know, and, and that's a voice of frustration.
It seems like right coach that they're starting to get
frustrated with the coaching scheme and they're starting to
get frustrated with the the top rat at the top eating all the
cheese. Nah, but you y'all.
You know who else is getting frustrated?
You know who else is starting tocome out and starting to speak

(06:21):
their mind? We are.
No not not not only the fans, but the veterans that played
under him. Have you?
Seen. Oh man.
Have you? Have you?
Seen James Harrison and Joe Hayden's podcast.
Yeah, shout out. Have you heard what Jake Yo
shout out to Debo and Joe? You know I love y'all.

(06:41):
Have you heard what James Harrison has had to say about
Mike Tomlin? That defense, the coaching, the
lack of adjustments being made, the lack the the lack of
addressing issues that you saw one week and not addressing
those issues the next week. I mean.

(07:02):
James Harrison James Harrison has been saying a lot.
I don't know if still a nation been listening, but James has
been saying a lot. Baby James has been.
Pointing a lot of things out. And for James, for Devo to be
coming out and saying that he's a, he was a Mike Tomlin big,
he's always touting in Mike Tomlin's favor.

(07:23):
He was, you know, you'll be hardpressed to find anything in the
past where James Harrison has said a negative thing about how
Mike Tomlin coaches. You know, he has done nothing
but speak about his motivation, how motivation, how to move it,
sorry, motivational he is when being around these guys, getting
them to run through the walls. You know, especially James

(07:44):
Harrison, the, the only person that you will never hear a bad
word about is Dick Laboe from James Harrison.
You will never hear a bad word about Dick Laboe, but he and Joe
Hayden. Yeah, he'll tell you quick.
Without Dick Laboe, there is no James Harrison.
Without exactly exactly he. Said he said that Kevin Butler,
he said that Kevin Butler, Dick Laboe, he said they made James

(08:06):
Harris. And he said he said once he
became a professional, they madeJames Harris.
He said they they they, they're the reason for Debo, so you'll
you'll never hear him say a bad word about them.
However, however, he's been coming out against McDonald.
It's been harsh. It's been harsh this year too.
He has not let up on it. There's but he now, if you saw

(08:30):
the if you saw the last live podcast they did.
He's going all in on it. He's going all in on it.
And, you know, maybe that's whatPittsburgh fans outside of us
need to hear because, you know, there's still people who believe
that he is going to right this ship.
He's going to be able to turn itin the right direction.

(08:50):
Now, granted, Yeah, last week was a perfect example of turning
it in the right direction. OK, even with Mason Rudolph,
they had that game well under control in the first half.
All they had to do was score in the second-half.
Guess what? You can blame the Bears defense
for being good enough to stop them.
You can blame the secondary for dropping some of those passes
from Caleb Williams, or you could blame the guys who were

(09:14):
calling the schemes, calling theshots and calling the plays who
are not doing what they need to do to coach this team in the
second-half when we are winning.How many times have I said to
you, if the Steelers are winningin the first half, they're going
to lose the game? Y'all listen, listen, I want to,
I want to touch on one thing what you just said.

(09:35):
Do they not practice catching the ball in the secondary at
practice? Oh my gosh.
No, we had three. Three.
Thank you for your service. Fucking interceptions.
Yeah, last week 3, one went right through Duggar's hand.

(09:55):
One hit, one hit P Pierre in theface mask, and one hit and one
hit Porter in his chest. Like, what in the fuck are we
doing? Why you cannot catch a ball?
You're defensive backs. You're basically defensive wide
receivers. That is the fuck you are.

(10:17):
You're defensive wide receivers.Yeah, it it really is like they
got Ike Taylor back there teaching them how to catch.
You know, Ike, Ike Taylor would give you some pound for pound,
some of the best one-on-one coverage you'll ever see for the
Steelers. But the minute a ball came into
Ike Taylor's hands, there was noway he was going to intercept
it. He was dropping that ball.

(10:38):
And it seemed like every single one of the moments you just
mentioned, it was that kind of game for the Steelers secondary
right here. Their heads go down here.
But you know, you know what it is too.
But you know what it is. I'm going to tell you what it
is. And This is why I put it on
coach. You know what it is.
Because they're playing the man and not the fucking ball.

(11:00):
They're playing the man. The one with Dougher, he was so
worried about coming up and making that hit.
He was so about coming down, making that, trying to get that
highlight tape hit that when he realized the ball was overthrown
because his eyes we're we're on the receiver.

(11:21):
His eyes weren't on the ball because had he been playing the
ball, he would have saw that theball was coming right to him.
It was an overthrown ball. He wasn't playing the ball.
He was playing the man. He was playing the man.
We all know when you play the man and not the ball, that's how
you get what P is. Yep.

(11:42):
And that's when bad things happen.
That's when bad things happen. Exactly what do I what do I
always say the football guys do not like it.
They take it as a disrespect, a slap in the face.
When you have a give me turnoverand you do not capitalize on
them. You have a give me turnover

(12:04):
every time. Listen, I cannot really remember
a time or game somebody gave them, like somebody had to give
me turnover. They didn't take advantage of
it. And that drive, the other team
scored. It happens all the time because

(12:26):
the football guys say, hey, gaveyou the turnover, we just gave
it to you. Yeah, and, and, and on top of
that, Coach, the Steelers did a great job rushing the ball and
stopping the run. We just saw the Bears light up,
light up with the run from Monongai and Swift light up the

(12:48):
Eagles for 120 plus each, I think.
What was it, 125 and 129 or something like that?
One 22125 two. Separate running backs.
Two, yeah, guess what the Steelers did to those guys.
That defense held Monongah to 48yards on 12 carries.
They held Swift to 15 yards on 8carries.
So we can't 100% say that the defense isn't coming to play.

(13:12):
They are with that that that stopping that's type of run from
a team that has shown that they are dynamic with the run with
those two versatile backs. But then hey guys.
You know not, you know what it is, you know what it is, you
know what it is, you know what it is.
I'm going to tell you what it isand those intangibles.
As far as the in its totality across the game, our defense has

(13:37):
been playing well. Yeah.
It's situations, it's the situational football is when our
defense has been shit in the back, right?
It's that, it's that third and 11 when we're up three.
What I'm saying, we can get thisteam off the field.
Run out the clock and and win the game.
What do we do? We allow them to get the fucking

(13:58):
third and 11. Yeah, no.
And yeah, NMP, we're going to get to that.
We're going to talk about the Bills here probably in like 5
more minutes after we finish up this coverage and talking about
the Bears and we get through some friends we got who are
going to help you guys out. But you're absolutely right.
It's situational football. It's situational football and we

(14:21):
have the worst situational, we have the worst clock management
coach in the game. We have the worst situational
management coach in the game. So if it's coming down to
situational football in one possession games, guess what?
We're not winning them this year.
We're not doing It's finally allcrumbling for for a big old
coach T And even when you hear the national media pointing it

(14:44):
out, when you hear people like Colin Coward, Jim Rome, all of
ESPN, MM Greenie, when you hear all of them pointing out the
Steelers deficiencies at head coach, specifically Mike Tomlin,
that's when you know it's bad. That's when you know things are
finally being noticed for what they are.
That you and I have noticed for multiple years now that other

(15:05):
Steelers fans. Yeah, years, Years.
Everybody kept letting that over500 and sneaking into a wild
card spot. They kept letting that cloud
their picture of. Of the coaches.
That was going on in Pittsburgh.And and I'll tell you this that

(15:28):
the Bears won just by 1 score, but you know, you and I both
know that touchdown at the end was garbage time.
You know, it may it may have been with what 627 left on the
clock, but you and I both know they were ahead at that time to
score still. So you know, I'm not even I
don't even care about that touchdown at the end of the

(15:48):
game. It wasn't even worth it.
So 3128, the Bears though, you know, what made me feel good
about the loss is watching them go and beat Philly afterwards
because that meet, like the Bears are showing that they're
starting to turn into a good quality team at the right time
of the year. Now I'm trying to look for
positives out of this loss, right?

(16:09):
Just as a person who wants to see my team win and find
something that they're going to improve on.
The only thing that I found in this game is, hey, Broderick
Jones got a neck injury and somebody else is going to come
in and play left tackle. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, sorry, Broderick. I hope you heal up, man.
I hope your neck is fine. I don't wish any injury upon you

(16:29):
that is going to be severe. But guess who?
You know, maybe that was what weneeded is Andrew's pizza come in
because Mason Rudolph didn't hitthe dirt too much on the last
game unless it was of his own accord.
There were a couple times him trying to rush out of the
pocket, rush outside instead of moving forward.
I don't know if you noticed where he could have and that.

(16:51):
Strip sack and that strip sack, he was just holding on to the
ball. I don't know where he thought he
was. I don't know where he thought he
was. But you were not at practice
like people were trying to come in to hurt you.
People weren't coming in to hit you.
I don't know where, I don't knowwhere you like I sat there and I
went and watched all all 22 and on that play, you know, I'm
doing my 1100021000310004I damn near got the five when he got

(17:15):
hit like I. Don't know what's in your head,
dog. I don't know what clock you got
in your head, but in the NFL, average pocket is 2.8 seconds.
Yeah, so So when you say one 1000, two 1000, either get rid
of the ball or run. Somebody's coming.
Somebody is coming. Yeah, no.

(17:37):
And. On their way to hurt you.
And I, I can't believe I did. I can't believe it.
You're absolutely right. I I just looked at it right
here. It was about 4 1/2 to 5 seconds
that he had all that, that he's had.
There's a lot of pocket time on this last game that actually
Mason Rudolph had. I didn't I didn't really look it
up until you just mention it now.
My goodness, I don't know, coach, you know, let's put this

(18:00):
game to the bed. Let's let's bury it because
Steelers said they're not playing that division.
Well, do we? We still have the Lions left,
don't we? Coming up here.
So you know the only team. We lost to the Bears, we beat
Minnesota. Maybe we can salvage 500 in that
division with Detroit. Yeah, so because before we talk

(18:23):
about this Bills Steelers game, we got some people to get off
our chest some good helping things in your life that not
move provides for you. We got bet US my bookie dot

support too now. I mean, we going to support you.
You going to support us. We going to support each other

(19:07):
right now. Let's get on to these God damn
Buffalo Bills, OK? Now listen, Buffalo Bills been
up and down like the. Steelers this season.
They've been up and down like the Steelers.
Josh Allen has shown signs of MVP caliber football, then he

(19:27):
has shown signs of Mason Rudolphbottom tier football.
He has shown, he has shown signsof both, right?
The defense as far as the run game actually has been abysmal
for Buffalo. They cannot stop the runs,
right? They, they've been, they,
they've been lacking in the runs.
They're they're, they're deep. Like I think, who was that?

(19:52):
I mean even though he is a he isa all proto but but Bijon Bijon.
Bijon carved him up like. Turkey weeks before
Thanksgiving. Yeah, if I remember correctly,
Bijon gave him over $1.50 at least.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So my thing is, we have. We have.

(20:16):
AA3 headed monster, one of the monsters, you know, he's kind of
shy. He doesn't come out much.
That's Caleb Johnson, right? He doesn't come out much, right.
The other two monsters, you knowwhat I mean?
They the other two monsters, theother, they show their head on a
regular basis. That's Warren and and Game and
Gamewell. Gamewell has been.
Outstanding in my eyes in the run game and in the pass game

(20:40):
because he's been able to be productive all season in both
right. I think that I think that he has
earned the rights to see more production and more and, and
getting him more into the into. The offense, I think Warren
needs to get more into the offense.

(21:03):
I think Warren's lack of production is that the lack of
time that his numbers. Being called.
You know, there's a lack of times they're giving him the
ball because see, I, I don't know if you notice one will have
2-3 good runs, then you'll see Gainwell for the next five runs.
You know what I'm saying? So, so, you know, it's kind of,

(21:25):
I don't know, but and, and they might.
We got to go to my boy Washington, big dog.
Washington has he's not yet the right for him to be a key factor
of this offense. What is Arthur Smith looking at?

(21:45):
The only, the only thing I can think of is, yeah, he's missed
some blocks. There's there's been a couple
times that Mount Washington has missed some blocks.
Having said that, you want to put Friarmouth instead, who is a
much weaker blocker than him in those situations.
You want to put him in instead, and then Friar Muth gets blown

(22:07):
off the line too. It's no.
But here's my thing. No, but here's my thing.
The blocks that he has mixed right, he was one-on-one with
the edge rusher. He was one-on-one.
It wasn't like there was a tackle chip in what he was.
He was what I know what he was one-on-one with the edge rusher.

(22:30):
Oh yeah, yeah. And the defensive lineman?
Defensive lineman beat him, OK, He's a tight end.
Yeah, and that's how I feel. That's what I'm saying.
He he, what Arthur Smith does right away is reverts to the
lesser 2 tight ends to come in instead and block to do the
blocking just because of a bad play like that because of what

(22:51):
you said earlier. Consistency, Consistency, Arthur
Smith. No consistency with what's going
on, no consistency on these offensive calls like you said.
Why are you going to give Jalen Warren 4 good runs in a row and
then switch automatically to Gainwell for 6 to 8 plays?

(23:11):
What is the point of that? Yes, they're getting their
yards, but aren't you supposed to use these as complimentary
backs? Isn't that the whole point?
Isn't that why we went out in the third round and drafted
Caleb Johnson to be one of thesecomplimentary backs?
The future complimentary back. I don't understand why he he's
still using these jumbo packageswith the extra tackle.

(23:34):
He's still doing this. These are things that we do not
need to do with the team that wehave.
And and yo and and you keep bringing in the extra tackle.
Will you have Washington? Yeah.
That's that's what's driving me crazy.
You keep bringing in the extra tackle when you have Washington,

(23:56):
then when you put Washington outthere, you put him and you, you,
you put and his assignment is one-on-one with a defensive edge
rusher with a defensive lineman.All right.
So what you're doing is you're looking at his size.
You're looking at his size and say, you know what, he can get
them. And that's not always the case.

(24:17):
You got to remember, I understand he's big.
He's still a tight end. He's still not a pass blocking
tackle because he might look like a tackle, but he is still a
tight end. So his blocking skills are not
going to be that of a fucking offensive lineman you fucking
morons. Regardless of how.

(24:43):
Big he is. Regardless of how big he is,
Arthur, regardless of that, he'sstill not going to have the
blocky technique. Technique and the blocking
expertise of a fucking offensivetackle, you stupid motherfucker.

(25:05):
And Calvin, I can tell how frustrated you are because once
you start bringing in those F bombs, talking about Arthur
Smith and his setup, you know how frustrated you are because I
tell you what one thing that's. Going It makes no sense.
Kremlin it. Makes no sense.
It does not make any sense. Yo, weird to listen.
Listen, I'm a landscaper, right?You're a number cruncher, right?

(25:28):
You crunching numbers all day. I'm a landscaper.
Right. We just love the game.
I'm nobody's paying me to noticethese things.
I'm not getting paid to watch film.
I'm not getting paid to to, to understand and see these things
that are going on. However, Arthur fucking Smith.
Is you're getting paid to see these things, they are cutting

(25:53):
you a check to see that this mancannot block as good as this
man, that this man cannot catch as good as this man.
This man is not as good in the run game as this man.
They are paying you to do this. You are being paid and as far as
I'm concerned, you are robbing the rooneys of their money.

(26:15):
Yeah, and he has been since he came to the team since I guess
Tomlin, since I guess Tomlin elected to have him come as the
offensive coordinator. One thing that's going to be an
interesting battle today is JoeyBosa against Andrew's.
Pete, since Broderick Jones is out, Pete is the main man who is
in to cover that left tackle position.

(26:36):
I'm really interested to see howthat's going to work because,
yeah, Broderick went out the last game.
Things changed a little bit, butyou know, Mason still didn't
look too roughed up. Pete, come and do the job.
I, I want to see how they contain this because also
that's, I would imagine just based off of, you know, knowing
the history of the Steelers, I feel like this guy coming in is

(27:02):
going to do a good job on the run.
But with Rogers, there's a gamble because he's still I, I
don't care what anybody tells me, a broken bone is a broken
bone. It does not take two weeks to
heal a broken bone, no matter how much of a crack it is.
You let Mason Rudolph in last week.
Why not just let him in this week?
OK. And I'll tell you why.

(27:22):
Because they're desperate to wingames.
But when you've got a replacement left tackle coming
out, you know, and Pete, he, as you know, he's an NFL veteran.
He's been in the NFL for a few years.
This is a guy who's played with the Saints.
You know, he knows what to do. But having said that, I don't
trust him on the backside, I don't trust him on that backside

(27:43):
of Rodgers. I don't trust in this game.
I don't trust Rodgers to hand off the ball properly enough.
I will, I will say this, I will say this, Arthur Smith has tried
to protect Rodgers. I will say that, right, He has
tried to protect him with his play calling.

(28:03):
He's trying to protect, he's trying to protect them with
blocking schemes. Because we got to remember.
Miles Garrett didn't sniff Aaronthe first time we met them,
right? He didn't get in the backfield.
So I'm going to give Arthur Smith the benefit of doubt in
that area. And, and and, and I'm going to.

(28:25):
Assume. That he's going to have a
blocking scheme knowing we have a back backup left tackle,
knowing we have a backup left tackle that he would devise the
scheme to help out that tackle just like he had them help out
Broderick with with Miles guy. I'm assuming he's going to have

(28:49):
them help them out with both of the same.
Now I'm only assuming this. It's nothing concrete.
It's nothing concrete. I'm just.
Assuming that hey. I'm going to, hey, we're going
against another top 10 rusher inthe NFL today.
Hey, I got a backup tackle. I might want to kind of help him

(29:13):
out and stay away from that sideof the field and I might want to
chip double, you know what I mean?
Whatever that side of the field today, you know what I mean?
I might want to beat those up a little bit.
Hey, have Washington chip the brakes off of them, then let
Pete take him. Then let Pete take.
You know what I'm saying? Let, let, let.

(29:34):
Send, send, send, send. Send up the mascot Connor out
there. Have Connor sit out there and
block for a little bit. You know what?
I. Mean let, let let Connor sit out
there and help him for a second or two, you know, help him for a
second or two blocking, you knowwhat I mean?
If you get in trouble, you can at least throw it at his feet.
He's at least he's at least a receiver in the area towards so

(29:57):
you won't get an attentional ground and he's a tight end, you
know what I mean? So you know you're getting too
much so you can at least throw that at his feet.
You know what I mean? Like just just show me, show me
you understand the situation that our team is in and you are
trying to do something to make adjustments for us still to be
and you're trying to put our players in position to be

(30:19):
successful. That's all I ask.
See that? Listen, that's all the fuck I
ask. Is that our coaching staff?
Try to put our players in position to be successful.
That's all I ask. But see, of late I have not been
getting that. I have not been getting that OK,
I'm not beginning that whenever a team's whole starting fucking

(30:42):
linebacker course out and two rookies are starting and you do
not and you do not destroy the middle of the field and have
every type of RIP route, hitch, drag and everything else going
through there. Because because you have two
rookies in which one rookie got hurt.

(31:03):
Don't mean to go back to last week but one rookie got hurt and
another rookie they just broughtup that week when the practice
squad came in and y'all still ain't taking.
Advantage of them. Yeah, and we're facing a similar
situation. Don't they have both their
tackles out today? So I'm not positive.
Yeah. Positive, but I didn't hear
something about they were dealing.

(31:24):
With so Spencer Brown and Dion Dawkins are both out today, so
we're facing another situation where.
Like like the charges we're facing another charges
situation. Where?
The book ends are out where the book ends are out and Terrell
Austin won't send the stunt until the 5th.
God damn tire. The defense is on the field.

(31:45):
Why should I tell you? He won't try to he he won't try
those backups. I don't know what he's looking
at. I have no clue which you had two
backup tackles you're supposed to send delays, stunts, twist
everything at them from the beginning to make them second
guess and make them uncomfortable all game.

(32:09):
Yeah, no, I, you know how I, I, I don't like this type of game
for the Steelers because it's one that the odds should be in
their favor. They have two tackles that
they're dealing with on the opposing team that are out and
you've got supposedly 2 of the better rushers, the edge rushers

(32:30):
in the game. Harmon is out.
So that's going to be a little bit of a problem.
But ya, ya, Black has been filling in admirably.
Keanu Benton, he'll, he'll do what's necessary.
Still haven't seen it. Still haven't seen a Cam Hayward
sighting in a couple weeks, so Idon't even know if that guy's
still playing on the team. I almost get the feeling I've

(32:51):
seen more of the mask, his brother mascot's number on the
sidelines than I've seen of. Cam in the game now.
He played last week. He got illegal hands in the
face. Oh, yeah, So he he did go out
there and mess something up. So great job.
Cam Hayward, thank you for all the fuss in the offseason for
that money that you have not earned.
So I, I, I don't know what to expect though, because this is

(33:14):
one of those games in the past where the Steelers are in the
same situation and they win and everybody's fooled once again of
like, oh, well, Coach T, he did it again.
He did it again. And it's not because he did it
again. Let's look at the realistic
story here. McDermott has been not doing a
good job lately for the Bills. The Bills themselves are just

(33:35):
not doing a good job outside of running the football with Cook.
You could blame it on weapons all you want, but you know, when
hasn't Josh Allen been able to throw the ball, weapons or no
there there's something there's something arrive with the
chemistry there in Buffalo. This is the game that the
Steelers can take advantage of getting that chemistry.

(33:56):
Or because I don't know if you know this, McDermott all time is
4 and one against Tomlin, one ofthose being a playoff victory.
So Mcdermott's four and one or this is the game that the Bills
use to turn their season around.This is the game that the Bills
use to come out and really put abeating on our Steelers and get

(34:16):
their season back on track because they're clearly not
winning the division this year, at least as of right now,
they're they're not sniffing a division win.
So they want to get the top wildcard spot.
Well, today's the day you do it.You beat the leader of the
North, you take that wild card spot and you show once again why
even though they went to collegetogether back at William and
Mary in 93, why McDermott is a better coach right now than Mike

(34:39):
Tomlin, even though his team Mcdermott's in a similar like
situation. Yeah, listen, I couldn't agree
with you more. This is the game, see, these are
the games that I that I despise because see, this is that game
will come out and will dominate.But.
We'll come out. We'll, we're at home, you know

(35:00):
what I mean? We're underdogs at home, you
know what I mean? So we'll come out and we'll
dominate, right? And then next week we will get
Molly Wat. Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Like this, Like this is this is that type of game.
Like this is the game where thisis the game where everybody

(35:20):
like, I don't know if Pittsburghnow Pittsburgh is going to get
destroyed. Pittsburgh pulls out the win.
And then next week we get Molly Wat.
You know, and and, and and I hate because it's the Colts all
over again. It's the.
Colts, it's the Colts. All over again, terminate this
game and then next week we'll travel and we'll lose like.

(35:43):
Coach And here's the thing, they're playing the Ravens next.
Week. They're playing the Ravens next
week, they're playing our division rivals next week and
it's for the lead of the division.
They're already going to be in the mindset because Mike Tomlin
has a history of doing this, possibly looking past this week

(36:05):
to next week, which if you're both 6 and 6 going into next
week, that's not good for anybody because guess who just
got beat by Joe Burrow and the Bengals?
The Ravens. Guess who's getting that
chemistry back on offense? The Bengals.
The Bengals can easily run the slate if their offense looks
just a smidge like they did thispast week against Joe Burrow,

(36:26):
and I mean against the Ravens. Guess what?
Joe Burrow looked rusty. And we know Joe Burrow doesn't
stay rusty, that rust breaks offevery game and he just gets
better at the end of the season.So this is it right now.
This is the you want to talk about nut crunch time.
This is it. This is it.
See everything. We have a opportunity right now

(36:50):
to be consistent, OK, To be consistent and take a stronghold
of the division, right? We beat Buffalo and then we beat
the Ravens. We are now two games ahead
because we are now two games ahead, right?

(37:13):
We're now two games ahead. Not 1-2 games at that time.
We got the head to head against them.
So that's two games ahead at that time, right?
We're two days ahead of y'all. Actually, it would be 3 because
we would have 5 losses and they would have 7.
So it'd be more or less two and a half, 2 1/2 games, let's say

(37:34):
that because 2 1/2 games ahead of them.
And then we would have and then we would have Detroit, Miami,
Cleveland, Baltimore. That I, I don't like that
gauntlet at the end. You know, Miami's been weird
this year. They beat they beat the pants

(37:56):
off the bills. They beat.
The. Pants off.
The only thing about Miami, theygot to come to Pittsburgh and
Miami teasers do not play good in the cold like the like the
couple of times Miami they give us a run was in Miami.
Yeah, but you're you're forgetting who our coach is and
when proceed. Teams.
Oh no, I forget. Yeah, yeah.
Because remember, remember how many times that's happened and

(38:19):
good old Coach T has got us under the hump, not over.
He keeps us under the hump in those type of games.
Exactly, exactly. So there.
And see, this is my thing. Tomlin's record in December is
harm. Tall.
Yeah, it is. It's horrible though.
We do not finish well and that is my problem is going off the

(38:42):
history of this organization andthis under this coach, we do not
finish well, man. We just don't.
We just don't finish well. I think we were thinking you and
I went over. It was before in 05 we lost five
game. We lost six games in a row,
including the playoffs game. I think in 21, I think in 21 we

(39:06):
lost, we won, we lost. We lost three games, then we won
the last three games and then welost the playoff game.
And then well, we know what happened last year.
We we started nine and three andfinished 10:00 and 7:00.
So that goes that that goes and shows you what the hell happened
there. Yeah.

(39:29):
That wants to know what? Happened there like dog like the
man I don't know what it is. Does he does does does he start
his Christmas shopping or something?
Does he just forget that he's a head coach and start to and
start his family Christmas shopping in December?
I, I don't understand why December has been such a hinder,
has been such a, a fucking obstacle for him.

(39:51):
And I remember when he first became coach because I, I love
this ideology, right when he first became coach, he said you
have to look at the season in quarters, right?
He said, you got to look at these quarters.
The first four games are the first quarter.
This one, we had 16 games. The first four games are the

(40:13):
first quarter. Second four games are the second
quarter. Third four games are the third
quarter. Last four games are on the
fourth quarter. He said he, he, he, he said, he
said he, you know, he likes to, you know, do very well in the
fourth quarter. I I remember this man saying
these things. Yeah and yeah.

(40:35):
I have not seen that production in the fourth quarter of the
season. Though no, no, and, and one
thing that my my biggest concernabout today's game, you know,
not only it being a a team that is really champing at the
champing at champing at the bit to get a win, to get back into
playoff contention and be, you know, a top contender for the

(40:57):
best wild card. They're going to try and run up
the middle. They have top one of the top
three running backs in the league right now.
This year. Cook has been very good at
running in between the tackles and the Steelers.
If we don't keep a spy on him, he can.

(41:17):
If we don't keep a spy on him, he will destroy us with dirty
loans. Yeah, especially with our middle
linebackers. They're terrible this year.
Wilson and Patrick Queen. Wilson, you know, he's fast, but
he can't, can't cover anybody tosay Patrick Queen just keeps
getting second, second stage blocked.
By the Queen could not cover hisbed with a car cover.

(41:39):
No. And on runs, when that second
stage blocking comes up, whetherit's, you know, one of the
lineman releasing and going after him or it's another back
or a tight end coming down, Patrick Queen's just like, here,
take me, take me, go ahead, takeme block.
Me dude you want? Yeah, so that's the concern.
But what the Steelers can do is they can take advantage of the

(42:02):
Bills not being able to secure the ball very well this year.
You know, last eight games they have 15 turnovers, and guess who
has eleven of those? Josh Allen.
That's because if you. I'm going to be let's, let's,
I'm going to be honest with you.Hold on.
Is Joey playing? Did he come back?
I don't know. I I I can't remember if I saw a
report on Joey. Yeah.

(42:23):
So we only have two out today. It is Broderick Jones and
Derrick Carmen. So Joey Porter junior's back.
OK, so Joey's back. So you know what?
I'm going to keep it real with you, Shakur.
And who's the other one over there?
Who's the other receiver they got?
Oh the bells. Well, Keon Coleman should be

(42:44):
playing this week I believe fromwhat I saw.
Coleman. Listen, Coleman.
Shakur I'm not afraid of none ofthem.
We should be pressing them. I'm not afraid of none of them.
We should be pressing them, messing up timing.
All right. We, we, we need to out, we need
to be out physical. We need to be more physical.
We our physicality needs to be at a all time high level with

(43:06):
their receivers because I don't think because they're not that
they're not that they're not secure that that receiver that
if I that if I don't get a good jam on you, you're going to
destroy me with your speed. That is Allah.
Like you're not that guy. You're not that guy.
Neither is Coleman. Coleman, you're good for 5050
balls because you're strong. But on the line of scrimmage, I

(43:27):
think I can. I think I can make you my bitch.
Well, what? One thing I still haven't seen
word on if wide receiver Josh Palmer is playing today or
Dalton Kincaid, the tight end. That's where Dalton Kincaid is
in the game. Josh Allen can cut the Steelers
up middle of the field, passing tight end in the middle of the

(43:49):
field. Palmer, he's not the main guy.
He's going to be sitting right there running slants in the
middle of the field, cutting up the middle of the field.
So that's what I'm interested tosee there to see if they do
play. As of an hour ago, they are
still questionable and I have not seen any confirmation just
yet. I'm searching.
So hey, anybody in the comments,let us know.
We'd appreciate it. But until then, we're going to

(44:11):
assume that Kincaid is playing. I'm about.
To say in my, in my, in my, in my history question move means
play. Yeah, so that's what I'm worried
about that, you know, for the defense, they're going to have
to deal with middle of the fieldadversity where they have just
been getting killed all year. Another thing is somebody please

(44:34):
go and sack the quarterback on 1/3 down play.
Somebody please get into the backfield and put some pressure
on this man. Besides, for him to run, we need
to put pressure on Josh Allen. Like you said, Terrell Austin
needs to make blitz better bit blitz package calls, better
twist calls, better stunt calls.Like you said, you you nailed it

(44:55):
perfectly earlier, coach. You just hit it right on the
head. They're going to have two, two
tackles in and replacement hit them with everything right up
front so that it screws up theirmentality for the rest of the
game. So that.
You got to have them guessing this right?
Exactly. You want them questioning
themselves, second guessing themselves the whole game.

(45:15):
You don't want them to get comfortable and sit back there
and like, hey, I can't do this. No, you want them in their head,
like God tell me where he come from and he came from, like they
come from everywhere. I want you to second guess
yourself, you know? You know, Harrison brought up a
great point today when I was watching this this segment,

(45:37):
Harrison said. What other defensive
coordinator? Do you know that doesn't even
have his schemes and everything written down?
He has no call sheet on the sideline every time in his head
every. Time in his head, Dick.
Lebow, listen. Dick Lebow saw the game while

(45:59):
the game was being played. He saw the game, so he knew.
He knew he had. He was able to dial up a scheme
or blitz or whatever package. You know, it's weird coach.
It's almost like he made in gameadjustments or adjustments at
the half or something. It's it's wow.
It's like a not what a novel idea.

(46:20):
Dawg misses. Yeah, How about that?
How about we look at a little bit of film and have time and I
don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
The Vicente Gibbles, this is this is thought.
Try something different than thesecond.

(46:42):
That's a thought. How about?
How about? How about the things that
weren't working in the first half?
How about we not? Do that again.
How about? We go to.
South, how about we go to the next play?
No, man, the standard is the standard, so.

(47:04):
The scheme they kept getting thefirst downs on.
Wait a minute, hold on there. Just the thought.
That's the thought, that's the thought.
The scheme that they got a thirdand 11 on, right.
How about we don't do that the next time it's third and 11?
How about we don't? Do that, you know, we can't

(47:26):
change things. The standard is the standard
coach, so we just got to keep itthe same no matter what.
I'm going to tell you this, I'm picking the Bills out right.
No, no negative luck. No, no curse luck like we.
Got in Chicago. I'm picking the bills out,
right. 3517 is what I think is going to happen and.
No, no, no. Listen And and and and I don't

(47:48):
I, I'm my worst fear is going tocome.
My worst fear, it came last week.
Now it's going to show itself because of coaching Aaron
Rodgers, going to get hit to where as though he's going to
fall or somebody else is going to fall on that wrist and

(48:11):
they're going to permanently puthim out for the rest of the year
because what's a hairline is going to become an actual break.
And then that break is going to sideline him for the rest of the
season. And then for the rest of the
season, we will be stuck. We will be stuck with Mason

(48:35):
fucking Rudolph. OK?
So listen, listen, until they show me change, I'm not going to
give them the benefit of doubt of change, OK?
So when you show me change, whenyou show me change, I will give

(49:01):
you the better doubt that there will be change when you show me
change. So until that happens and
listen, Still a nation for life.My son came home and a
Pittsburgh Steeler onesie wrapped in a terrible town, do
not get this shit confused. Still a nation for life.

(49:25):
But until they show me change, Icannot.
On good faith, with a clear headand sound mind, pick them to
beat the Buffalo Bills. I'm sorry, I just cannot do it.
Not. Until the coaching staff shows
me change. When the coaching staff shows me

(49:48):
change, when they show me progression in their coaching.
I will start this, I will start giving my team the benefit of
the doubt and say, you know what, yeah, we can win this
game. But until that happens, and I'm
going to keep it real with you, and I said it last week and I'm
going to say it again this week,I don't see us winning any more

(50:08):
games. I'm just being honest.
I'm maybe Cleveland, maybe Cleveland, because, you know,
they're having they got work issues than we got.
But I'm just being honest. I, I just don't because like I
said, I've said it many times before, the players are the
body, the coaching staff is the mind is the brain.

(50:33):
What is a body without a brain? It's a fucking vegetable.
Does not move, does not do anything.
There's no progression there, and that's what the fuck the
Steelers have been put as what the organization.
Steelers have been putting out on the field.
They have been putting out vegetables because our brain is

(50:56):
no longer functioning as a whole.
Our brain is no longer functioning at all.
The best thing we got going for our brain is a little piece in
the corner in the back, just special teams, and that's Chris
Boswell on the special teams. That's the only thing.

(51:20):
Find the brain aspect of our fucking organization.
Yeah, and that's the truth. And you said it best coach like
we we are die hard Steeler fans.You know I I have obviously I'm
a die hard Pittsburgh fan, period.
I'm wearing a Pittsburgh Pirateshat with a Pittsburgh Penguin
shirt on the Pittsburgh Steelerspodcast.
OK, I ride with my three teams. I ride with them forever through

(51:40):
thick and thin. Right now we're in some lean
times we because our coaching has given up on the team.
The team hasn't given up on the coaching, the coaching has given
up on the team. And you know, all I'm going to
say is this. And if we lose the day, I'm, I'm
telling you now, Gremlin, if we lose the day, I'm starting it

(52:05):
#Tomlin must go. I'm telling you now.
