HR 1: Steelers 34, Colts 22 Week 5 Game Recap · The Steelers Report

• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Rodgers gets the snap back, throws to Warren out on
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the right. He is clobbered by Stewart as he throws
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the ball, but here goes Jalen Warren down the right sideline.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: He's going to go all the way.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: 80 yards for a touchdown for Jalen Warren.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Caught the short pass.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Rodgers took a wallop, and Warren did the rest.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: Two words, Jalen Warren. He put on a show at
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: AccuShore Stadium on Sunday. That's for sure. That 80-yard touchdown catch,
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: a 50-yard touchdown run, and 188 total offensive yards. You
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: add in three touchdown passes from Aaron Rodgers and two
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: more scores from Pat Fryermuth, and it all adds up
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: to Steelers 34 and Colts 22. Double B, impressive win
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: for the Black and Gold on Sunday, and they're now
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: 3-2 on the season.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, Ed, and they bounce back again. At some point,
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: I'd love to see them go on a streak, right,
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: and stop this.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: One win, one loss, one win, one loss, one win.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: Let's get two in a row here in Tampa, but
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: we'll have the rest of the week to dive into
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: the Bucs.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Jalen Warren, outstanding.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: But what I thought was really cool from hearing from
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: him after the game, it was quite literally one of
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: those podium.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Games for Warren.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: You know, normally it's QB, one defensive player, and the
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: head coach heads to the postgame press room. But I
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: think there's a, you know, little-known addendum that if you
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: score an 80-yard touchdown catch in a 50-yard touchdown run,
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: you also get to come to the podium and talk
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: to the assembled media in front of the big microphone.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: So he deserves it, but I thought it was great
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: that he deflected a lot of the praise to the
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: people blocking for him. And it was a fantastic game.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: Mason McCormick was dumping people. Darnell Washington, as always, is Honestly,
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: one of these times, though, I am a little worried.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: I'm like, don't get flagged just because you're strong enough
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: to block a guy into the sixth row on the
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: sideline at Accresure Stadium, Darnell.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: We know you can do it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: We love to watch it, but we don't need an
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: overzealous official dinging you for it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't just that play. He was paving lanes
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: all over the field.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Pat Fryermuth continues to block his behind off this season,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: which was one of the biggest criticisms people had of
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: him early on. in his career, the receiver blocking from
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: DK to Jeremy Bernard to Brandon Smith, you know, filling
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: in yesterday, admirably in a handful of snaps. So all
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: that stuff has to add up for Jalen Warren to
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: do what he did.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And he did the rest.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: It was, it was mighty impressive, but let's not forget
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: that Aaron Rogers played a heck of a game to
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Pat Fryer. You've played a heck of a game to
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Jeremy Bernard at a breakout, just one of those feel good,
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: feel good games, a little bit of a ho-hum win.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: And that I don't think the Colts are anything to
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: write home about. And, We all had this with a
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: W next to it when the schedule came out, I think.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Indeed, we did.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: You still got to stack them. You got to take
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: care of business, and the Steelers did.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: And they really put themselves in a good spot here
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: these next few weeks, Brian, too, because you look at
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: this game in Tampa.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: They should win there.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: You look at the following week in Paris against a
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Saints team that's now still only won one game so
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: far this season, and then you come back against the.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Rematch against the Browns. I mean, you can snack.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: If you could stack the next, you can snack, too,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: while you're watching the next three games. If the Steelers
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: can do that and put themselves in a 6-2 spot
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: going into the bye, boy, oh, boy, does that look nice.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: But even worst-case scenario, as I said all of last
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: week here on the show, you have to go at
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: least 3-1 in these next four. So now you've allowed
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: yourself one loss. Maybe it's in Paris. It's always tough
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: to play internationally against whoever. But facts are facts. It
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: was a bounce-back game for them yesterday, and we talked
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: about it last week on the show that they bounced
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: back after the loss against the New England Patriots against
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: that big win against the Cincinnati Bengals at home. Well,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: this was set in the stage, too, a 10-day lead-up
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: after that Thursday night loss in Cleveland to bounce back
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: against the Colts, get your offensive line better, get your
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: offense better, defense, fix the missed tackling.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I felt like they did all that yesterday.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I did, too, and some coverage lapses maybe cropped up,
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: but by and large, I went into this one thinking,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: you can't let Jonathan Taylor completely wreck this game. We
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: said that on Friday's show, and they didn't. They bottled
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: him up.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I think last year it was 14.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Carries for 45 yards. This year, 15 for 45, right?
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Very similar. They're on a streak of holding Jonathan Taylor
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: in check, and that is a very good way, a
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: very good recipe to take down the Indianapolis Colts as
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: they are currently constructed. Tyler Warren had a nice game
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: over the middle. Daniel Jones was able to find him
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: a lot. But for the most part, they didn't let
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: those other guys, the ancillary pieces, kill them. And credit
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Asante Samuel Jr., Daylon Everett with some big pass breakups,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: Jalen Ramsey with a big one in the end zone.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: The defense has room to grow.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. But hopefully they get Jamel
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Dean back sooner than later.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Hopefully they get Derek Harmon and Deshaun Elliott back. at
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: some point maybe some reinforcements on the way it's still
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: a little bit different than the unit we envisioned coming
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: into the season but uh i still think that if
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: you get tj watt alex highsmith nick herbert get those
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: motors running uh some good days are ahead.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: We are leading up to the 3 p.m mike mccarthy
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: press conference today here on snr on the south side
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: we'll have live coverage with Wes Shuler and Jerry Dulac
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: at the top of the hour. But before we get there,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: we are recapping Steelers 34, Colts 22. The turning point
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: of the game, Double B, was this.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Snap, turns, gives, Warren starts left, cuts back to the right,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: finds a hole, bursts through the.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Middle, breaks through to the clear.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: Jalen Warren racing into the end zone for a Pittsburgh
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Steelers touchdown, a 50-yard gallop for Jalen Warren.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: That gave the Steelers a 24-16 lead early in the
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: third quarter after Indianapolis had opened up the second half
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: with a field goal to pull within 17-16. Warren delivered
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: that explosive play that swung the momentum back to the
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: black and gold.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's just on another level right now. I mean,
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: early in his career it was, hey, he's really efficient
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: and he makes plays when he comes in there as
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: kind of a change-up or a curveball to Najee Harris. Well,
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: now he is he's the whole pitching arsenal himself and
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: nobody can hit him right now.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: It's there.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: I think there was one time where he got stacked
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: up behind the line of scrimmage and, you know, that
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: actually early in the game, that first series couldn't have
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: gone worse for the Steelers. I mean, they go backwards
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: 15 yards and I'm sure a lot of people are thinking,
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: Oh boy, we're in for a long day here. That
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Browns game is going to fester and you know, that that's,
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: it's going to get worse before it gets better. Not
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: so fast because then you just, Just inject some Jalen Warren.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: He's like instant coffee. He's instant offense. Get the ball
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: in his hands.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: And I think the Colts were shocked that he found
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: his way to the sideline and that there was all
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: that open space in front of him. And, you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: the 50 yard touchdown run. I think I used the
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: description that he squirmed through there like a greased pig.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Some people didn't love that on social media. But what
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: can you say? I mean, he was he was slippery.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: His contact balance is acceleration in. What we didn't see
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: in week three when he also had a tremendous game
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: at home against the Bengals, the breakaway speed, the finishing
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: ability was on display. Fantastic performance by Jalen Warren.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Jalen Warren yesterday, 15 carries, 101 yards, a touchdown, eight receptions,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: 87 yards, and a touchdown. That's 188 total offensive yards
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: and two touchdowns on the day. Brian, he became the
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: first player since Herschel Walker in 1986 to score on
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: both an 80-plus yard reception and and a 50-yard run
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: in the same game.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Just incredible.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: And I think five players now total have done it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: The other names we're talking about, they're Gale Sayers, Jim Brown.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Some deep cuts.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Some deep cuts, but some lofty, lofty territory.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, now I just mention it as
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: a footnote sometimes when we talk about this guy.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Undrafted in 2022 out of Oklahoma State.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: You lose focus of that sometimes.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: 200-some-odd picks.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: No one said this guy can do this at the
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: NFL level, at least not until the Steelers signed him.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: as one of their priority rookies that year. And, you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: good decision, I think, by all parties involved.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Let me feed you some numbers on Jalen Warren here
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: for the season. Against Atlanta in Week 1, 10 rushes
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: for 46 yards, 5 receptions, 27 yards, 73 total. Week
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: 2 in New England, 11 rushes, 43 yards, 2 receptions,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: 34 yards, 77 total offensive yards. Week three against Cincinnati,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: the breakout game, 17 rushes, 127 yards, three catches, 49 yards,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: 176 total offensive yards. Week four at Cleveland, 17 carries,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: 93 yards, three catches, 33 yards, 126. total offensive yards.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: You know what he did yesterday. I already told you.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: 188 total offensive yards. Double B, he has 640 total
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: offensive yards on the season through five games. That's an
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: average of 128 per game. But 490 of that in
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: the last three games, Jalen Warren, not just on fire.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: I said it last week here on the show. He
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: is the best offensive player in the NFL right now.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb and
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: say he probably got a game ball from yesterday.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Let's hope so.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: From the Steelers and from Mike McCarthy and the postgame
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: locker room I also saw images from the Steelers of
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Mike looked like Michael Pittman Jr. was had the gang
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: surrounding him and everybody kind of giving him some I
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: saw that some love and I assume he had something
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: to to say in terms of thanks and I like
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: and this is the downside of social media is you
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: see some some hating you know what people on there
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: giving Michael Pittman Jr. grief and what's he what did
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: he do to deserve to get up in front of
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: the team hold on a second have you ever been
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: a part of a team in your life it doesn't
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: seem like it because sometimes guys go down with injury
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: or they aren't as much of a part of contributing
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: to winning as you or they would have hoped but
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: that's what a team is all about you pick up
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: somebody who that game meant something to and you go
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: out there and you win it for him yeah, Michael
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Pittman Jr. hasn't played much or all that well through
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: the first five weeks of the season.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: But he was sweating with him in Latrobe. He was
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: in the dorms with him at St. Vincent.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: He's been here since March in OTAs, and he's a
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: well-liked guy on the squad. Yeah, you're allowed to let
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: that guy have his moment, even if he wasn't on
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: the field for it. So I was stunned to see
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: some negative reactions to that, but I think anybody who
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: understands what a brotherhood is about would would know what
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: that moment means and why you do something like that.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: It was a cool moment for sure. And, you know, listen,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Michael Pittman Jr. wanted to be on that field. Trust us, folks.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: But now he lands himself on the IR. He's banged up.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Roman Wilson now banged up, too.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I was watching that from the press box.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: It looked like they were trying to pop a finger
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: back in and may have done so, may have done
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: so more than once.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: It's a rough sport out there.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: And if you've ever even if you never played football,
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: let alone in the NFL, stub your finger playing basketball
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: or get hit playing baseball.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: That is not fun. So I don't know how long
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: it's going to be.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: We'll hear from Mike McCarthy shortly here, see if he
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: gets any updates on Roman Wilson. I think there's some
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: scuttlebutt out there online that could be multiple weeks for him.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Tough break.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Literally and figuratively.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Ben Skoranek left with a calf injury, did not return.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: So suddenly the receiving core's depth is going to be tested.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: That's why you keep around a guy like Brandon Smith.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: We mentioned him on the Friday show, maybe stepping up,
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: and then, lo and behold, next day he gets elevated
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: from the practice squad.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: We also mentioned Isaiah Hodgins.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: He obviously did not, but he might not be in
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: street clothes much longer if the Steelers need people to
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: pitch in here in.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: The receiving court. He's another bigger body.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know if they're going to peruse other practice
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: squads like they just did at corner, or I guess
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: there's always a possibility to look into the trade market. But, yeah,
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: they are down to DK Metcalf, Jeremy Bernard. well, maybe
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: not Roman Wilson, but Caden Weegin on the active roster.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: And as we know, mainly here to return kicks and punts,
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: not so much to factor in as a wide receiver.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: And Jeremy Bernard took another step forward, I thought, yesterday
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: in his NFL career. Yeah, he is trending in the
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: right direction. Nine targets, that led the team. Six catches,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: 80 yards, averaged 13.3 yards per reception, had a long
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: of 25 yesterday.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Jeremy Bernard.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: is turning into that dude, Brian Bacco, and he looks
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: to be that dude that they're going to need to
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: potentially be now that No. 2 wide receiver, if indeed
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Roman Wilson misses any time. He missed a couple yesterday,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: but those are growing pains that you're going to experience
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: with a rookie at any position in the NFL, let
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: alone receiver. What I liked about Jeremy Bernard yesterday, he
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: bounced back after a couple misses, made some nice receptions,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: made those plays that the Steelers needed in this offense,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: and Aaron Rodgers didn't lose trust in his rookie wide
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: receiver either.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: And good example, good reminder of how quickly things change
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: in this league, because just a couple weeks ago, we're
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: sitting here saying, you'd like to see Jeremy Bernard get
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: a little bit more involved. You know, the contributions for
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: him didn't really sustain after the New England game. Well,
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: now there's no choice but for him to be heavily involved.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: And he was yesterday. You know, obviously he had the
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: receiving numbers that were career highs and a young career
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: but even just snap count wise you know same number
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: as DK Metcalf 55 that's 92 percent of them on
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: offense uh Aaron Rodgers said after the game you know
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: they can live in 12 personnel with two tight ends
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: all game if they want to or they have to
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: I think they probably should uh a lot of the
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: times Pat Fowler he's played 68 percent of the snaps
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: in Darnell Washington 63 I think as the weather turns
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: and you know these games get a little bit more
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: uh Frigid and physical, you'll see that alignment even more,
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: but we know Mike McCarthy likes to throw the ball
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: to his receivers, as does Aaron Rodgers, and you've got
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: to have guys who can make big plays for you.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: There haven't been a ton of them for DK Metcalf
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: yet this year. I still think that that's going to change.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: He didn't necessarily build off of the success at the
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: end against the Browns, but that was a good outside
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: cornerback tandem there, and the Steelers found other ways to
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: get it done.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Sauce Gardner certainly shut DK Metcalf down yesterday, only three
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: catches for 12 yards. But it was Metcalf on that
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: big Jalen Warren touchdown run that sprung that open on
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: that right side of the football field. Some key blocks
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: for Jalen Warren. You love to see that from your
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: number one wide receiver. We are leading up to the
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: 3 p.m. Mike McCarthy press conference today on the south side.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: We will have live coverage here on SNR with Wes
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Shuler and Jerry Dulac at the top of the hour.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: But before that, whenever we come back, we will get
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: into back 06 from Steelers.com from the game yesterday. And
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: then coming up at 240 today, we'll get into some
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: team stats and three stats to victory. and Steelers 34,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Colts 22. It's Victory Monday in and around the Pittsburgh
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Steelers in southwestern Pennsylvania. We're excited, and we're excited to
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: bring you more feedback and coverage whenever we come back.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I'm True Pease Backo.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: It's the Steelers Report right here on Steelers Nation Radio,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: part of the Steelers Audio Network.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Rodgers gets a snap.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Back to pass.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: Look.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Fires over the middle of the field.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: It's Friermuth. And he's into the end zone. Touchdown, Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Number two on the day for 8-8.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: This is the Steelers Report with Brian Batko and Ed
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: Troup on Steelers Nation Radio, a part of the Steelers
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Audio Network.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, indeed.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers, another big performance for the Steelers on Sunday.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Pat Friermuth, two touchdowns to go along with Jalen Warren's
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: two touchdowns. And Aaron Rodgers now, boy, he's just checking
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: all these historic boxes in his final year of his
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Hall of Fame NFL career.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: More boxes were checked yesterday. Double B, he's playing at
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: a high level.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: He's not turning the football over, and he now has
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: three games in a row, consecutive games. That's the key
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: word there, consecutive games with at least three touchdown passes.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, very impressive for Rodgers, and some of those interceptions
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: earlier in the season really weren't on him.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: But yesterday, were there even any close?
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: There might have been one where Latu dropped back into
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: coverage and maybe was close to getting a hand on it,
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: but not even really putting it in harm's way, but
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: still close. airing it out, throwing it 30-plus times and
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: completing at a high percentage there, taking some shots downfield.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: I like how it's all working together for this offense.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Only sacked once. That was huge, too, because that doomed
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: the offense a lot in last week's game to the
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: loss to the Browns, or two weeks ago now, I guess,
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: but escaped pressure once or twice, maybe three or four times.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: The penalties weren't overly harmful to the Steelers. They, they
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: finished with six for 50, but you know, it wasn't
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: negating huge gains like did a few weeks ago against
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: the Bengals. And they, they got a couple out of
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: their system early in that game. So yeah, I mean,
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Rogers is, he's holding up his end of the bargain
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: right now. And you'd like to see him continue to
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: keep that going against some better defenses. You know, the Colts, we,
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: we talked to Matt Taylor, the play-by-play guy for the
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Colts last week. And he, said, yeah, the pass rush
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: hasn't really been generating a ton of pressure.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: He did.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: The interior had been good, and DeForest Buckner did walk
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: away with the only sack of that game for Indy.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: And Grover Stewart got a big old boom on Rodgers,
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: but not before he got the ball out to Jalen Warren.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: So they were talking a lot on the broadcast, Jim
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Nance and J.J. Watt, about how quick he was getting
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: the ball out of his hands. And I think it
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: was a great plan for that game. It worked in
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: the early going. I think there's going to be times
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: later this year that you have to hold on to
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: a little bit more, let things develop. But, yeah, that
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: was a fantastic performance by Rodgers.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: It was a similar game plan that they did against
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: the Bengals back in week three as far as the quick–
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: delivery of the football 2.3 seconds or something and they
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: were talking about that a lot yesterday rogers again as
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: i said he's climbing the record book he finishes 22
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: of 31 yesterday for 235 yards three touchdowns no interceptions
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: a quarterback rating of 125 it was his third straight
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: game with three touchdown passes.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: As we said but it was his 166th.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Regular season win as a starter that moves him past
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: ben roethlisberger for fifth all time.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah and that's just uh You know, one of the
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: many milestones that Rodgers hit yesterday, moved into third place
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: all time and career touchdown passes, regular season plus postseason.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: 580.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Passes Peyton Manning, which.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Not a bad guy to pass.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: Is it? Drew Brees is next up 608. Rodgers keeps
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: throwing three touchdown passes a week. We'll be gaining on Mr.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: Brees as well. So, yeah, he is in the midst of.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: one of those seasons in which you just continuously move
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: up the charts, move up the record books, the, the
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: wins are most important, but getting the ball in the
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: end zone too, is vaulting him into, it's not like
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: he needs any more achievements or accolades. He's going to
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: be a first ballot hall of famer regardless, but yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's, he's jockeying for position in the, the
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: goat debates too here. And I don't know that anybody's
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: gonna eclipse tom brady but well if you've got uh
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: number two number three number four.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Goats he's he's jockeying for position in the.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Mount rushmore debates how about that for for sports talk cliches.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: He also ties Big Ben's NFL record with nine career
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: touchdown passes of 80-plus yards on that connection.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: A couple guys with good arm strength, huh? I think
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: a little bit.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, all these guys who are in the top five,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: top 10, 15, 20 of passing records in the NFL
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: had good arms. But then you get into the next stratosphere,
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: the elite of the elite, Rodgers and Ben, both in
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: that category for sure.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: We are talking Steelers 34, Colts 22, the Steelers week
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: five victory. It all leads up to the Mike McCarthy
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: press conference coming up here today at 3 o'clock live
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: from the south side with Wes Euler and Jerry Dulac.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Talking about player statistics, we already went over Warren's numbers.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: We hit Bernard. We hit Rodgers. The Steelers overall, though,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: defensively only got to Daniel Jones one time, one sack
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: by Cam Hayward, three quarterback hits on the day. You know, Brian,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: it's a mixed bag on the defense. On one hand,
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: I can talk to you about how the Colts moved
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: the balls six times across the 50-yard line, across the
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Steeler 40-yard line yesterday, and they did it relatively with
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: not a lot of resistance. But on the other hand,
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: I can tell you they held the Colts, the five
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: field goals on six of those trips. When you hold
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: your opponent to field goals, it does not take a
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: football rocket scientist to figure out you're going to win
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: football games.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And it's just think about it when the rules reversed,
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: when the Steelers have to settle for field goals and
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: they aren't punching it in. We get chafed and frustrated
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: that they aren't finding a way to finish those drives. So,
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: you know, speaking of field goals, though, and statistical uh
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: milestones Chris Boswell is nearing the all-time Steelers record uh
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: for made field goals let me see exactly what it
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: is here um and I guess it's one of those
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: it's one of those weird ones where it's like yeah
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: you don't really want them to hit it too soon
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: because we want touchdowns we don't want field goals but
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: I'd also rather take three on the scoreboards uh on
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: the scoreboard than punts of course so Boswell needs two
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: more to surpass Gary Anderson for most in team history.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: He's got 308. Anderson had 309. So 310 will give
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: him the new mark there. Wouldn't be shocked if he
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: gets it this week down in Tampa. And if not that, then,
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: you know, could set that team record way out on
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: the road across the pond in Paris.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: But Boswell is getting close. So that was good to
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: see him, too.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Yesterday nailing him. Through the upright, Steelers didn't need to
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: lean on him too much because they were finishing their drives.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: But when they did call upon Boswell, good from 48,
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: good from 54. That last one, nice little insurance run
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: there to make it a 12-point game. You know, still
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: felt pretty good about it at a 9-point game.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Did you, Ed, ever think that the Colts were... Going
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: to get back into that.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: I really didn't like, you know, I was talking to
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: somebody who was like, I thought they were going to
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: blow it in the fourth quarter. I never really had
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: that sense, maybe because it was Daniel Jones on the
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: other side and not, you know, Lamar Jackson or Joe
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Burrow or somebody like that or Josh Allen.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: But I felt pretty comfortable.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: It was it was the rare case of a Steelers
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: game that maybe if you were at home, you were like.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Tending to the kitchen or putting the dishes away or
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: something in the fourth quarter because your heart palpitations weren't happening.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Which is normally the case.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: It is taken again from someone who always has to
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: have that game story ready when the clock hits triple zeros.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: That was a rare sort of. nice leisurely pace to
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: the end of this thing.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Which, by the way, my friend, somebody that relies heavily
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: on your game recap to do his game prep for
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: today's show, he ended up pretty quick yesterday. I was
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: online on Steelers.com, and there was Brian Bacco's recap article
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: within minutes of the Steelers going final yesterday.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: So good work.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Along with that, Bacco's quick six, which we want to
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: jump into here. The first item on the quick six
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: from Steelers' Colts yesterday is rising up.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: Asante Samuel jr. Four pass deflections. Second most in his
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: NFL career. He had six in a game in a
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: playoff game. That was, if you remember the chargers blew
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: like a historic lead to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: second half, they were up by a ton and squandered
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: that game. So without watching it, I bet Trevor Lawrence,
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: I guess he would have been the Jags QB. Then
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: it's probably thrown it a lot, giving Asante Samuel jr.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: A lot of chances to, to break up passes, but no,
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: I was impressed. I mean, it, sure when you go
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: back and watch it he wasn't the most uh it
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: wasn't Revis Island-esque you know the Colts did hit five
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: completions of 20 or more yards and secondary left a
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: little bit to be desired in coverage but in the
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: the weightiest moments third and even a fourth down Asante
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Samuel Jr. found a way to break up those balls
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: he did one Treadwell on two or three of them
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Tyler Warren on one or two of them so I
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: give him credit on a day that The Steelers didn't
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: have their best corner, and Jamel Dean, because he's out
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: with an ankle injury, hopefully he can return for Tampa
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Bay on Sunday. Yeah, his old team. He also has
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: a birthday coming up this week, does Dean. He turns
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: 30 on October 15th. That's a big one for Dean.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: Steelers got a win on T.J. Watt and Troy Fautano's birthdays.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: They won't be playing, obviously, on, I guess it's Thursday
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: the 15th, so they won't be playing on Thursday, but
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: Let's hope Dean can come back this week. If he doesn't,
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: I still felt that there was some growth and improvement
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: from Asante Samuel Jr.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: And Daylon Everett, for that matter.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: And to go along with his past breakups yesterday of
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: four for Asante Samuel Jr.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Also added four tackles.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: And when you're generously listed at 5'10.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Generously. I like that.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Teams are going to throw at you.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, no doubt. When you're playing the corner spot in
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: the NFL.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Especially as an outside corner. That's the size that you
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: typically see.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: They're going to attack you.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Slot guys but asante samuel jr's never he's never been
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: that guy he's always been uh an outside corner and
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: he had a bit of a rough night in cleveland
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: i think we all saw that they all did so
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: yeah they all did but it was good to see
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: him bounce back and make some of those plays that
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: they're counting on him.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: To make asante samuel jr rising up item number two
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: is stepping.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: Up peyton wilson i thought was the biggest reason maybe
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: why jonathan taylor had a pedestrian game i mean he
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: was flying around 10 tackles eight of those solo two
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: for a loss including that one where he did a
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: lot of the work and then gabriel rubio actually put
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: his hand uh in the pile there i nice to
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: see him didn't mention him in the quick six but
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: i easily could have 16 snaps in his nfl debut
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: for the sixth rounder out of notre dame but no
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: i thought peyton wilson looked like the guy we saw
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: earlier in the season um we'd like to see more
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: in or we'd like to see more consistency out of
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: all of the inside linebackers but If Peyton Wilson can
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: play like that the rest of the way, you're going
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: to have something to work with when you face some
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: of these powerful run games in your division and elsewhere.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: We talked about the two inside linebackers, Pat Queen and
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Peyton Wilson, last week with a bunch of missed tackles.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: The Steelers' defense as a whole, a lot of missed tackles.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: I thought that got cleaned up nicely yesterday.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought it was better.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: With Peyton Wilson leading the way.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I thought it was better.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: I'd like to see Queen and Wilson both active in
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: the same game and them both very noticeable in the
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: same game. But I thought Wilson played well.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Item number three, Patrick Graham comes down.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: Patrick Graham spoke all preseason training camp about pluses and
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: minuses of being in the coach's box up top or
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: on the field face-to-face. We know that emotions ran high
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: in Cleveland as they lost that game. I don't know
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: if that was a leading factor to this, but Mike
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: McCarthy made the call of, hey, we want our D.C.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: On the field.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: Look these guys in the eyes and have those conversations.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: And I was watching him from the press box when
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: I could add, you know, he was very hands-on and
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: active with the D line. That's his kind of his
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: bread and butter. He was a D lineman. That's where
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: he climbed the coaching ranks coaching, but that position group,
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: but I saw him at times with the DBS as well.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: So I think that that that's a good, healthy thing
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: that he wasn't resistant. Well, if he was, he still
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: did it, you know, he didn't refuse to, he was
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: willing to go down there and, Sure, they had to
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: shuffle some things and everybody's role changed a little bit
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: or at least multiple people's role changed a little bit
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: on the defensive staff. And sometimes it's the people you
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: don't even think of that probably deserve some credit, too,
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: for having a change to their game day routine. But
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: none more so than Graham, who was calling the defense
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: boots on the ground rather than sitting a bird's eye view.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: It was noted early in that game that Patrick Graham
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: was on the sideline, and look, you can talk to
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: any coach in the NFL, college, or even high school
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: for that matter. They'll give you five reasons why it's
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: good to be on the field, and they'll give you
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: five reasons why it's good to.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Be up in the booth.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: So you've got to find out what works for you
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: and your team. Next up, building Bernard. Jeremy Bernard with.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: A nice day yesterday.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and really no choice but to get in there
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: and play more because just a few days ago we
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: were talking about Roman Wilson only scratching the surface of
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: his potential. But then injury creeps in and Bernard has
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: to do more and he does. So, you know, I
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: thought he was a reliable target yesterday for Aaron Rodgers.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: I think he had the one drop that he'd want back.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: But you're going to have that at times, especially early
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: in your NFL career. And, you know, you saw the
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: elusiveness after the catch again, which is what he was
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: known for coming out of Alabama. I think he's going
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: to be a nice compliment to DK Metcalf for as
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: long as he's the clear cut number two receiver here,
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: which he is right now.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: That's what makes Jeremy Bernard Jeremy Bernard is that run
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: after the catch.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's a playmaker.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: You can see it each and every time you get
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: that football in that young man's hands.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Next up, Retro he's like a running back when he
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: gets he is oh yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: He has that look to him retro rogers.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: Scrambling around a little bit uh looking spry out there
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: was number eight even took off black and gold he
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: took off for the one but what i thought was
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: even better was spinning out of trouble there when jt
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: tui omelau was crashing down after beating troy fautanu um
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: That doesn't happen all that often to Fautanu on the left.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Side, but.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: There goes Rodgers escaping and bailing out his left tackle
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: on that one. So you like when he can get
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: out of there, roll to his right, slide or roll
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: to his left, slide a little bit, keep his eyes
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: downfield because plays are going to break down at times.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: No offensive line is going to be perfect. It's not
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: that kind of league. You can't expect that week in
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: and week out. But it's good when things do occasionally
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: collapse that Rodgers isn't just going down and now all
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: of a sudden it's third and long or fourth down
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: and you've got a punt. That was a third down
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: play that Rodgers extended and Jeremy Bernard did the rest.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Our last back-o-quick six is one more Warren for the road.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: I love these titles.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Ed. That's a good one.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: Couldn't really say much more about Jalen Warren, but I
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: tried to. Next-gen stats, they actually showed it on the
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: scoreboard at one point at the stadium. It was an
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: 80-yard touchdown catch and run to get things started yesterday,
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: but he actually traveled 98 yards on that play with
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: the weaving.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: From where he starts out.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the weaving and the lateral movement in addition to
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: the north-south. He's really good north-south, but he's pretty good
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: east-west too. It's just very difficult for guys to wrap
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: him up. Super impressive from him. Todd Gurley was the
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: last player to even have an 80-yard touchdown catch and
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: a 50-yard touchdown run in the same season. Jalen Warren
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: doing it in the same game.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: That's wild.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: And Herschel Walker also a part of that statistical day
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: for Jalen Warren and the Pittsburgh Steelers in a big,
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: big 34 to 22 week five bounce back.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: When is like what we like to call it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: Brian Bacco has his quick six up on Steelers.com multiple
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: times throughout the week.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: You do the quick six more than just once, right?
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: No, we've got the quick six after games, four down
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: territory setting you up for the game.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: The four down territory is what I like to, that's
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: the other good one. Yeah, Steelers.com.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Make sure you check it out. That goes quick. Six
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Steelers versus Colts. Whenever we come back, we're going to
• 32:01

• 32:04
  Speaker 4: dive into some team statistics. Plus, what were the three
• 32:07

  Speaker 6: This is the steelers report with brian backhoe and ed

  Speaker 4: weeks have been a little bit challenging but this will
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: be a fun one and you can cheat ira got
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: him queued up for tomorrow it was an easy grab

  Speaker 4: a couple colts in there you got to have a
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: couple of the colts moments but we'll knock those out
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: early in the countdown lots of good ones on the
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: back half that's for sure yeah this.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Will be a good week for it um You know,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: the Steelers were just delivering haymaker after haymaker in that game.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: And, you know, the Pat Fryermuth touchdown catch for the
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: breathing room to make it a two-score game, that was clutch.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: That was clutch because Jeremy Bernard runs that route. We
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: didn't even mention this in the Bernard conversation, but kind
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: of does the savvy receiver thing, looking like a vet
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: out there, just picking a guy off a little bit,
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: ever so slightly, not enough to draw a flag, but
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: helps Fryermuth get wide open and Rodgers hits him.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: You just heard it there at the top of the
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: segment with some of the highlights provided by our Rob
• 34:02

  Speaker 4: along with Mike McCarthy. And again at 3 o'clock, just
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: coming up in about 20 minutes, we will have the
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy press conference here for you live from the
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: south side with coverage here on SNR with our good
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: friends Wes Shuler and Jerry Dulac. I want to dive
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: into some team stats from yesterday with you, Double B.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: We already did the individual stuff.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: The Steelers, 16 first downs to the Colts, 19 third downs,
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: which has been a concern for the Steelers offensively.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Not so much defensively, but offensively. Yesterday, a little bit better.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: They were 4 of 11 at 36% yesterday.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: They were kind of in and around, what, 32% for
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: the season so far, so not much better yesterday.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: But defensively, I thought they did a nice job on
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: third down once again.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: The Colts, 4-15 at 26%.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they did, and the Colts are a handful in
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: those short yardage situations. I don't think the Colts are
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: going to be raising the division title in the AFC
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: South or anything like that or making any noise in
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: the playoffs. But one thing they really do well is
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: you get into those– third and two fourth and one
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: whatever Daniel Jones is a humongous guy at QB Jonathan
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Taylor's Jonathan Taylor and then Tyler Warren now is taking
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: handoffs and he can plow ahead he's a human battering
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: ram there so yeah four for 15 on third down
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: is really really nice to see from the defense Colts
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: went three for five on fourth down but I thought
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: the Steelers mindset and mentality was was really right for
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: that game and you always kind of wonder about that
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: a little bit when you're you're smarting from a divisional
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: loss that you probably felt like you let get away.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: And let's also just remember too.
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, the defense crumbled down the stretch in that
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: game against the Browns. I mean, a few completions by
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: Deshaun Watson and they were setting up Andre Schmidt for
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: the field goal.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: So I think everybody.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: Allowed that to kind of motivate them, but you know,
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: they also had a long time to rest and make
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: some corrections. I thought the best line from Mike McCarthy
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: after that game, Ed was, somebody asked him about how
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: practice went this week and when you knew that you
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: kind of made the proper adjustments. And he said, it's
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: like anything. When you ask somebody what time it is,
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: you don't want to hear how the watch is built.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: I never heard that before, but I get it. This
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: is a bottom line business in the NFL. Just go
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: win the game. We don't always necessarily want to hear about, oh,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: we did this better in practice or we did that
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: better in practice. Clean things up, go win the game.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: And No one's talking about the clean up our house
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: narrative anymore, are they?
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Or read it up, as he pointed out yesterday.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had some fun with that one.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: With his mom talking to him. You've got to love
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Mike McCarthy. Brings a nice little unique perspective during his
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: press conferences when he uses some of the Yinzer language
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: out there. You mentioned the fourth down, the Steelers 2
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: of 2 yesterday on first down, but you mentioned the
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Colts being 3 of 5 at 60%.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Total yards yesterday, Steelers 3.52, Colts 3.32. No Rodgers QB sneak.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: This time they went back to the Pittsburgh-Pat plunge.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: The Pat-Pittsburgh plunge.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: They did.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Well, Rodgers, as we pointed out last segment and back
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: his quick six from the game yesterday, he rolled out
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: and ran for one. Not a first down, but picked
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: up good yardage, taking off with the football. But, yeah,
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: no sneaks under center yesterday for AR.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: Six yards in a cloud of dirt. He also had
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: a four-yard scramble that got negated by a hold. But, hey,
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: if you get four or six yards every time, they'll
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: never stop you.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: In the NFL, not too many 42-year-olds can still take
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: off and get that type of yardage.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: There are no 42-year-olds in the NFL.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Set you up. That was a nice tee-up for you,
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Brian Bacco.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: Rushing-wise, the Steelers outrushed the Colts yesterday 127-66 as a team.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: But again, they limited Jonathan Taylor to just 45 yards
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: rushing for the second straight year. Penalties yesterday, not too
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: much of a factor for either team. Steelers only had
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: 6 of 50. Great job there. Colts 9 of 59.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: and then time of possession to the Colts yesterday, 32
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: minutes even to the Steelers, 28.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe it helped, too, that even though they seem
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: to play the Colts every year, and oh, by the way,
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: they could play the Colts again next year, actually, at
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: home if they finish in the same place.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: It'd be at home again.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Divisional, yeah.
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: But it was not as chippy as the two previous
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: weeks against the Bengals and the Browns. I think that's
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: pretty clear. I'm not saying these two teams like each other, but...
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: You know, DK Metcalf and Sauce Gardner was generally above
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: board there, I think. There was some good trash talk
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: around the NFL yesterday.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Did you see?
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: It was like rivalry week around the league. We had
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Seahawks Niners.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: That was a great game.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Packers Bears.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: Did you catch the end of the Seahawks 49ers with
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: Cooper Cup trying to stretch for a first down?
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: What did you think? Game of inches. I thought he
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: had it.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: I thought he had it, too.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I thought he had it, but maybe that was just.
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: I was biased because I wanted to see that game
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: continue and see some fireworks.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: And I was also surprised, and they reviewed that, so
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: if you're wondering what we were talking about late in
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: the game, and that would have put them in field
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: goal range.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: Well, there was one of those Jalen Warren conversions on,
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: was it third and one or fourth and one, where
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: I think it was the fourth down conversion where they
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: ran it, and it didn't look good initially, but Shane
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: Steichen did not challenge, and then it looked like when
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: they showed another angle on the broadcast, he did get
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: the nose of the ball to the line to gain
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: but it's a gain it's.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: It's obviously there's no doubt about it and and if
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: cup gets that first down they are in field goal
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: range good chance that they at least kick it to
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: send it to overtime and brian i was actually thinking
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: to myself on a 50 50 toss-up decision why not
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: just give them the first down let the team figure
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: it out in overtime.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: At that point but i mean they went.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Upstairs they reviewed it and they said call on the
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: field you gotta try to make the right.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: Call if you're the official we'll Niner Seahawks had Mike
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: Evans turning Trayvon Diggs around to look at the name
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: on the back of his jersey I don't even know
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: who you are that's a good move.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah you gotta love that did you what did
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: you think of the.
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: Minka hit and the Jets yeah the Minka hit I
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: Browns game I tend to agree with Todd Munkin bang
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: bang play his job as a safety in that position
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: is you're trying to jar the ball loose however you
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: can I didn't think he led with his head I
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: wasn't I didn't think he was coming in there like
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: a rocket trying to spear Casey Concepcion. But I can
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: understand the other side of it, too. And reasonable minds
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: can disagree. Some of the Browns players seem to disagree.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: That's their guy out there who's coming up injured after
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: that one. So you hate to see guys get crushed
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: in the head, even if it is by a shoulder. Obviously,
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: head-to-head collisions, there's no place for that.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: In the game anymore. But you don't even really love
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: to see the shoulder injury.
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: Into the head if if you can avoid it um
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: so we'll see uh you know how the rest of
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: that plays out but then there was another one uh
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: Packers Bears I guess Luther Burden from the Bears said this.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Week in the lead up to the game that they
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: wanted to.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Make the Packers tap out and Zaire Franklin from the
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: Packers their inside linebacker former Colt actually who was always
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: one if he would have been on the field yesterday
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: in Accres sure there would have been some uh some
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: feistiness but.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: He always got the best of the Steelers in those matchups.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: But apparently he said, yeah, I recall him playing well
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: in Indy a couple times when they lost games out there.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: But I guess he said Luther Burns never done anything
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: in this league and, quote, he quit today.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: He didn't want to play no more.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, yikes.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, to the victor go the spoils. You win, you
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: can talk big.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: Packers won big against the Bears, too.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: That was a surprising result.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: That was a surprise.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: But, hey, they didn't have Caleb Williams yet in Chicago.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: Tyson Bajan, I think, was trying to hold down the fort, right?
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Browns? Lose to the Jets. The Bengals beat the Dolphins.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: So it all set. Everything was set up perfectly.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: And if you turned on Sunday night football, because everybody's
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: been waiting all day for Sunday night.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: The Ravens were in a bit of, well, they.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Were on their way to 3-2. Yeah, I was watching
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: that game.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: And then they come back at the end. My man,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: Snoop Huntley.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: I defeated the couch in that one. You won. In
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: the rivalry of Batco versus Sleep.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: You lost last week.
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: I lost last week. I won this week. Maybe I
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: was just inspired by Tuatango Vailoa. getting in there and
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: then just serves one up on a silver platter to
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Kyle Hamilton. I mean, it seemed like it came out
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: of there hot. Probably wasn't an easy catch for Hamilton
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: to make, but not a very accurate throw.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Everything was teed up for us, Double B.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: I was doing my game notes and I said, look,
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: Ravens lose to the Falcons. We come in here today,
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: we talk about the AFC North being a toss-up again,
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: 3-2 everyone.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Not so fast. Ravens are 4-1.
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: And the Bengals getting the Dolphins, that's a Pretty big
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: scheduling advantage there because the Steelers got the Patriots out
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: of that division. Now, the Ravens, I believe, will get
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: the Bills. So that's kind of a wash. And then
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: the Browns lose to the Jets. So two AFC North
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: teams taking on AFC East teams. Shout out to Geno
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: Smith and the Jets for doing the Steelers a favor there.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: But no shout out in order for the Miami Dolphins,
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: who are careening toward the first pick. It would appear
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: one of the 0-5 teams remaining. Before we pass it
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: off to Mike McCarthy's press conference, fired up for Monday
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: night football.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Bills-Rams, heck of a game. Big boy game.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it should be a good one tonight for sure.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: We talked about it last week, some good matchups coming
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: into this weekend. I mean, that Seahawks-49ers game was brilliant.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Even Falcons-Ravens.
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: I mean, it was Tyler Huntley out there for the Ravens,
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: but good jersey matchup. The Falcons, when they bust out
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: the red on black, I like that look. I think
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: that's the best look for the Dirty Birds.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: I'm with you.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Or maybe just every once in a while a change
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: of pace, but it looked good.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: They had the Ravens on the rope, though, Double B,
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: but here's the thing I'm going to tell you.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: I honestly think.
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: Hey, the Ravens converted a two-pointer, which they could never
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: seem to do in some of those big spots against
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: the Steelers, which benefited us here in Pittsburgh, but led
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: to much consternation down in Baltimore under John Arbaugh.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: But I think the AFC North, because we always said
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: the last few weeks, well, it's a small sample size.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Well, we got a good sample size now.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: We're five weeks into the season, so we can start
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: We can start making some calls here, early calls in
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: the season of what's starting to piece together.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: And my early call is this.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: I think the AFC North right now is a toss-up
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: between all four teams. I think all four teams are
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: in this race. Three and two Bengals, three and two Browns,
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: three and two Steelers, four and one Ravens. The Ravens
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: haven't blown me away at four and one. And on
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: the flip side, the Browns have surprised me at three
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: and two. And I think the Steelers and Bengals at
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: three and two are kind of where they should be
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: at this point in the season.
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, Browns losing on the road to the
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: Jets makes me wonder if that was a bit of
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: a mirage, what we saw Thursday night at Huntington Bank Field.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: But I don't want to speak too soon because the
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: Steelers are going to have to play them again.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Jets defense.
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Did I say that?
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: There you go. The Jets defense is back. Ed Troop.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: Well, I was going to say you always believe, but no,
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: you jumped off the bandwagon or the fire engine last week.
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: But no, I mean, they obviously have some pieces there
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: that are getting the job done. The rookie David Bailey,
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: I guess. Played really well, number two overall pick off
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: the edge.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: We'll see if the Jets' defense, they probably won't, but
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: we'll see. We'll do our power rankings.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Three sacks for Bailey.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Good day for him.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: We'll get into our power rankings of top five offenses
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: and top five defenses later this week on Wednesday's show. Again,
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: we'll do our top ten plays of the week. We'll
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: hear from the coordinators, and we'll recap what's coming up
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: next here just in a few minutes with the Mike
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: McCarthy press conference.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: Double B, it's a good day in and around southwestern Pennsylvania.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: The Steelers get the 3-2 with that 34-22 victory against
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: the Indianapolis Colts. Up next, it's the Mike McCarthy press
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: conference live from the south side with Wes Shuler and
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: Jerry Dulac.
