Cowboys Recap, Raiders Preview · Steelers Country Weekly

0:00
Speaker 1: Today on Steelers Country Weekly, we break down the steelers
0:03
Speaker 1: second loss in a row, this time in a late
0:06
Speaker 1: night matchup at home against the Cowboys, will preview their
0:10
Speaker 1: next matchup, which is a road game in Vegas against
0:13
Speaker 1: the Raiders, and then we'll talk about some sports relocations
0:17
Speaker 1: that actually worked out in the team's favor. I'm Nick
0:21
Speaker 1: de Tulio, and as always I'm joined by the world
0:23
Speaker 1: famous accountant to Eric Damashad, And Eric, how's it going tonight?
0:28
Speaker 2: I'm doing all right, just hanging Uh. It is now
0:37
Speaker 2: the last week, so surrounded by boxes and filled with
0:46
Speaker 2: different feelings, excited, scared, anticipation, a lot of like how
0:53
Speaker 2: I felt on Sunday.
0:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean you're getting down to the wire
0:58
Speaker 1: here for moving, that's for sure. And then I think
1:02
Speaker 1: we talked about a little bit last time. One of
1:04
Speaker 1: the things you might be dreading is just the drive itself.
1:06
Speaker 1: But once you get through that, I'm sure you'll be fine.
1:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure will all right.
1:13
Speaker 1: Well, I wish I had better news for us to
1:15
Speaker 1: talk about, but unfortunately I don't. Steelers walked away with
1:20
Speaker 1: a loss against the Cowboys on Sunday with a lot
1:24
Speaker 1: of issues that maybe could have or should have been
1:28
Speaker 1: resolved before the game, But it was just kind of
1:31
Speaker 1: an interesting start to the game, is what was delayed
1:34
Speaker 1: almost an hour and a half due to some pretty
1:36
Speaker 1: intense lightning storms, and you know, it's just interesting to
1:41
Speaker 1: see how getting the updates from the NBC staff and
1:48
Speaker 1: you know, the staff for the game on site. I
1:51
Speaker 1: don't know about you, but I was really nervous that
1:53
Speaker 1: this game was just going to be just played in
1:56
Speaker 1: a swamp and no team was going to pass the ball.
2:00
Speaker 1: We were gonna see one to two yard runs every
2:02
Speaker 1: play followed by a punt for just repeated three and outs.
2:07
Speaker 1: Knowing the history of knowing the history of that field, Yeah,
2:11
Speaker 1: I was worried that.
2:12
Speaker 3: We're just not gonna have a game.
2:13
Speaker 2: I was seeing the lightning go across the screen and
2:17
Speaker 2: it looked pretty intense.
2:19
Speaker 3: But it seems like I worked out yep.
2:24
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, once they did start playing, the chips just didn't
2:28
Speaker 1: fall in the Steelers' favor. The final score ended up
2:31
Speaker 1: being twenty to seventeen, and I was a little disappointed
2:37
Speaker 1: with well, I was disappointed with a lot in this game. Actually,
2:43
Speaker 1: one person I wasn't really disappointed with was justin Fields
2:46
Speaker 1: I thought he played pretty well and continued to show
2:49
Speaker 1: why he should be the number one quarterback. I guess
2:53
Speaker 1: I'll just come out and say that, especially just given
2:55
Speaker 1: where we're at in the season now five games in.
3:01
Speaker 1: Looking at the rushing stats, nothing jumps out. I mean,
3:04
Speaker 1: Naji Harris had another subpar game fourteen carries forty two yards.
3:10
Speaker 1: Didn't help that he had no real assistance. And what
3:15
Speaker 1: I mean by that is you had both Jalen Warren
3:16
Speaker 1: and Quarterall Patterson out, and the past couple of years
3:20
Speaker 1: the Steelers have been a running back by committee team,
3:22
Speaker 1: particularly with Naji and Jalen coming in. Wasn't the case
3:27
Speaker 1: Naj you had to carry the full load. And then
3:32
Speaker 1: also offensively, we just didn't really see too much out
3:35
Speaker 1: of our number one ride receiver, George Pickens. Especially on
3:39
Speaker 1: a week where there's talk about the team being interested
3:43
Speaker 1: in bringing in Devonte Adams. You'd think like, Okay, I'm
3:48
Speaker 1: currently the number one wide receiver. I need to step
3:50
Speaker 1: my game up, and there just was a little bit
3:54
Speaker 1: of a lack of effort there, followed by at the
3:57
Speaker 1: very end of the game, taking the face mask of
4:00
Speaker 1: a Cowboys player after the game ended, I'm sure you'll
4:04
Speaker 1: talk about the clock management at the end too. That
4:07
Speaker 1: seems to be another theme with some of our favorite teams.
4:11
Speaker 1: But ultimately the most important things in this game were TJ.
4:17
Speaker 1: Watt got career sacked number one hundred, so congratulations to him,
4:20
Speaker 1: and we talked about it a little bit before we
4:23
Speaker 1: hit the record button. Despite the delay, if you're just
4:26
Speaker 1: an average fan of the game, it was a good
4:28
Speaker 1: game and the Steelers were pretty close to pulling this
4:32
Speaker 1: one off despite their misgivings. Cowboys ended up getting I
4:38
Speaker 1: think it was second in goal on the half yard
4:41
Speaker 1: line with under a minute left, and then Land and
4:45
Speaker 1: Roberts timed the running backs jump and forced a fumble
4:49
Speaker 1: that knocked the ball back four yards. Unfortunately, the Steelers
4:52
Speaker 1: couldn't recover that, but it did mean that the Cowboys
4:56
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be able to run the ball and Steelers
5:00
Speaker 1: ultimately forced a fourth down. Cowboys ran a cross route
5:04
Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott threw a perfect ball to his wide
5:10
Speaker 1: receiver Tolbert and Frankly, the thing was Deshaun Elliott was
5:14
Speaker 1: right on him. It was good coverage. She was almost
5:17
Speaker 1: hanging on to the receiver, but Prescott just put it
5:22
Speaker 1: in the one spot he could throw that in, and
5:25
Speaker 1: kudos to Tolbert for holding onto the ball. But because
5:29
Speaker 1: the Steelers used a time out there on that last
5:31
Speaker 1: possession too, they had none left, which meant they got
5:34
Speaker 1: the ball back with about twenty seconds left, and that's
5:38
Speaker 1: how the Steelers lost this game twenty to seventeen. So,
5:42
Speaker 1: now that I've given the rundown of how this song
5:45
Speaker 1: what came out came about, Eric, do you have any
5:48
Speaker 1: significant takeaways from your end on this one.
5:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it doesn't sit well with the listeners, but
5:56
Speaker 2: over I really don't have as many complaints about this game.
6:02
Speaker 3: Look, I think that the defense really responded.
6:05
Speaker 2: And it might not look like it from giving up
6:09
Speaker 2: twenty points, which is an average score in the NFL.
6:14
Speaker 2: I thought that they played extremely well, especially because they
6:18
Speaker 2: lost her big two, so you.
6:21
Speaker 3: Know, they had to kind of play a man down
6:25
Speaker 3: and in the you know, so.
6:28
Speaker 2: We're worried a little bit about a rotation going forward
6:30
Speaker 2: with high Smith.
6:31
Speaker 3: Also, t J looks phenomenal.
6:36
Speaker 2: Joey Porter got an interception, They forced three turnovers, but
6:42
Speaker 2: like you mentioned, that one that.
6:45
Speaker 3: Roberts had the goal line almost became a fourth.
6:50
Speaker 2: And then look, it was a perfectly thrown bob by Dak.
6:54
Speaker 3: Colbert was also injured on the last play.
7:00
Speaker 2: Or that drive, and so for him to kind of
7:03
Speaker 2: gut it out literally tap the you know, tip the
7:07
Speaker 2: cap to him. I mean, that was perfect by Dallas.
7:11
Speaker 2: If that if we were on the other end of it,
7:13
Speaker 2: we would be stoked as a team. You know, we
7:17
Speaker 2: gave up four hundred and forty five yards. It's weird
7:19
Speaker 2: to kind of tip your cap to the defense. But
7:22
Speaker 2: the defensive motto was a little bit of the old
7:25
Speaker 2: Steelers that we saw probably i'd say like six years ago,
7:29
Speaker 2: so maybe pre TJ like Ben don't break.
7:34
Speaker 3: And it worked.
7:35
Speaker 2: Really, I thought that, like the mentality worked. They and
7:45
Speaker 2: we're not even talking about they blocked a kick too,
7:47
Speaker 2: so we had a special teams play too. So really,
7:51
Speaker 2: when it comes down to it, the Steelers on offense,
7:58
Speaker 2: it was a little troublesome. We only had two hundred
8:01
Speaker 2: and twenty six yards. I think justin Field's definitely regressed
8:06
Speaker 2: in this game. We only had three of twelve on
8:11
Speaker 2: third down, so that's not gonna win you many football games.
8:16
Speaker 3: So I think that, you know, my.
8:20
Speaker 2: Biggest takeaway of it is we're having a little bit
8:25
Speaker 2: of unfortunately, a regression to what we thought the offense
8:33
Speaker 2: was gonna be, which is not good, like below average.
8:41
Speaker 2: I didn't expect this offense to be great. I thought
8:45
Speaker 2: that there were gonna be some bumpy times.
8:49
Speaker 3: I thought.
8:51
Speaker 2: Not having a quarterback. If you have two quarterbacks, you
8:54
Speaker 2: don't have any quarterbacks. I think that's always true. I
8:59
Speaker 2: think people been trying to crown justin fields, I've been
9:02
Speaker 2: a little bit more pumped the brakes.
9:04
Speaker 3: Kind of thing.
9:06
Speaker 2: I'm definitely not saying we make a change, but I
9:10
Speaker 2: think this game definitely opens the door for competition to
9:17
Speaker 2: kind of go with the hot hand. As we've now
9:20
Speaker 2: you know, dropped two in a row, and a lot
9:23
Speaker 2: of that does kind of, you know, go back to
9:29
Speaker 2: a little bit of sloppy play. I mean, not to
9:33
Speaker 2: hardbot justin fields, but there were a lot of balls.
9:37
Speaker 2: He just missed a lot of passes. I just thought
9:42
Speaker 2: he could have made. I think the George Pickens thing
9:47
Speaker 2: is we've seen the storyline play out before. Something's wrong
9:53
Speaker 2: with a wide receiver, they throw a tantrum. Sometimes it
9:57
Speaker 2: leads to decreased playing time. I'm frustration stuff like that.
10:02
Speaker 1: That is news that never happens with a Steelers wide receiver, right,
10:08
Speaker 1: And you know.
10:08
Speaker 2: He had no notice paint or paint that said I'm
10:12
Speaker 2: always open. He wasn't, to be quite honest, when when
10:18
Speaker 2: he's on the field, I don't think he's open.
10:20
Speaker 3: He makes a lot of contested balls.
10:22
Speaker 2: But like I think he has a very inflated self
10:26
Speaker 2: about him. I don't think that he'll ever be a
10:29
Speaker 2: number one. I'm gonna say that straight up. I think
10:34
Speaker 2: that if we're hoping that George Pickens becomes the next
10:37
Speaker 2: Antonio Brown without being a head case, but for his play,
10:43
Speaker 2: then you're just the best he's ever gonna become, is
10:49
Speaker 2: Mike Wallace. It was a good wide receiver, but I
10:54
Speaker 2: don't think that would ever warrant a number one in
10:59
Speaker 2: this league. So what I thought that like we could
11:05
Speaker 2: have done better was execution from field, And I definitely
11:11
Speaker 2: think that we missed a lot of the using of
11:14
Speaker 2: the middle of the field. Something that we were so
11:17
Speaker 2: productive and we were growing in the previous weeks I
11:22
Speaker 2: felt was very absent this week, So very disappointing that
11:29
Speaker 2: we couldn't take advantage of.
11:32
Speaker 3: You know, Cowboys defense.
11:34
Speaker 2: I don't think that they played the Cowboys defense played
11:37
Speaker 2: exceptionally well. I just don't think our offense played great
11:42
Speaker 2: at all. If I had a great defense gets a
11:47
Speaker 2: minus B plus and the offense gets.
11:51
Speaker 3: A D D plus.
11:55
Speaker 1: So what's interesting to me? First of all, mentioned that
11:58
Speaker 1: it was ironic to me that the one time that
12:01
Speaker 1: George Pickens was f and open you left out a
12:05
Speaker 1: very key word in his face, painting was a third
12:09
Speaker 1: down He just dropped the ball. It went right through
12:11
Speaker 1: his hands on what would have been a third down conversion.
12:15
Speaker 1: Just kind of ironic that it always seems to happen
12:18
Speaker 1: like that when a receiver. I think, first of all,
12:20
Speaker 1: receivers always think they're open, but when they truly are
12:22
Speaker 1: and they drop a pass like that, like, what what
12:24
Speaker 1: do you want us to do?
12:25
Speaker 3: Man?
12:27
Speaker 1: It's just interesting to me too that we both watched
12:29
Speaker 1: the same game and it feels like we're taking the
12:33
Speaker 1: opposite stance on things here. I was much more complimentary
12:37
Speaker 1: of the offense and unhappy with the defense, and you
12:39
Speaker 1: were vice versa. There you were like, well, justin Field's regressed,
12:44
Speaker 1: the offense needs to get better, and the defense did well.
12:48
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because we were both sleep deprived at that
12:50
Speaker 1: point with kickoff being at nine to forty five the
12:54
Speaker 1: game ending at about one am. But just kind of interesting,
12:58
Speaker 1: And maybe the greater point here is that the team
13:00
Speaker 1: as a whole regressed to a point and everyone needs
13:05
Speaker 1: to be a little bit better. You're absolutely right four
13:09
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five yards. I wouldn't call that a win,
13:14
Speaker 1: but if you're looking at it from a bend not
13:15
Speaker 1: break perspective, they did only give up twenty points, fourteen
13:19
Speaker 1: of which were in the fourth quarter alone. And when
13:24
Speaker 1: I look at the first interception that Prescott through, it
13:29
Speaker 1: was just kind of odd to me.
13:31
Speaker 3: It was.
13:33
Speaker 1: I guess it was just a miscommunication thing. It was
13:35
Speaker 1: really bad interception, and it was odd. Here Chris Collinsworth
13:39
Speaker 1: on the call gets so mad about it too, or
13:41
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say mad. It was more of that I'm
13:43
Speaker 1: not mad, I'm disappointed kind of thing, because he just
13:45
Speaker 1: kept bringing it up like, oh, that's what a shame.
13:47
Speaker 1: Those guys shouldn't be making a mistake like that. So
13:51
Speaker 1: I give more credit to Dak Prescott miscommunicating there than
13:56
Speaker 1: I did the defense on the turnover. But at the
14:00
Speaker 1: end of the day, I mean nothing about this team
14:05
Speaker 1: or this game jumps out at me and says the
14:07
Speaker 1: Steelers were exceptional or they did one thing exceptional. And frankly,
14:13
Speaker 1: when I'm talking about Fields, I just think we're almost
14:17
Speaker 1: getting to the point where, unless something goes catastrophically wrong
14:21
Speaker 1: for him, I don't see how you can justify making
14:25
Speaker 1: the swap at quarterback at that point. And I think
14:28
Speaker 1: we talked about that a little bit last week too.
14:30
Speaker 1: The longer that this goes on, the less likely it
14:32
Speaker 1: is that we'll see Russell Wilson get any meaningful playing time. Now,
14:37
Speaker 1: if the Steelers go to Las Vegas next week and
14:41
Speaker 1: Field throws a couple picks and they lose again and
14:44
Speaker 1: go to three and three, then we'll probably be having
14:48
Speaker 1: that discussion. But I think if things continue to go
14:54
Speaker 1: the way they have, I just think it's going to
14:56
Speaker 1: be less and less likely with each passing week.
15:01
Speaker 2: So do you think that's just because we can build
15:06
Speaker 2: around him in the future or because of what he
15:09
Speaker 2: can produce this year?
15:12
Speaker 1: It might be a little bit of both, But frankly,
15:15
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at it from a this year perspective.
15:18
Speaker 1: I just with everything we've seen so far, nothing has
15:22
Speaker 1: told me that Russell Wilson is going to come in
15:25
Speaker 1: and be significantly better than justin fields, I think we're
15:30
Speaker 1: getting about what we expected to get regardless of who
15:33
Speaker 1: the quarterback was. Right. So, but that's been the one
15:39
Speaker 1: that's been the one upside other than just general mobility
15:42
Speaker 1: that Field has had that Russell Wilson hasn't had. It's
15:44
Speaker 1: if he is successful, then you can have him for
15:46
Speaker 1: a longer time than you can have Russell Wilson.
15:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, what may y'all say though about Field?
15:52
Speaker 2: So you know, hear me out on this fifteen twenty
15:57
Speaker 2: seven two touchdowns, but one hundred and thirty one yards,
16:04
Speaker 2: so less than five yards per ten.
16:06
Speaker 3: I mean, so I guess where I'm getting at is Russ.
16:16
Speaker 2: Russ was one of those guys that was like one
16:18
Speaker 2: of the most efficient.
16:21
Speaker 3: Guys with the ball.
16:22
Speaker 2: So you know in Seattle, and I know a lot
16:27
Speaker 2: has teamed since he was in Seattle, but he never
16:31
Speaker 2: really was a five thousand yard passer. He is more
16:34
Speaker 2: of a four thousand yard passer. But they didn't they
16:37
Speaker 2: he probably threw one hundred times less than like Drew Brees.
16:42
Speaker 2: So for me, it's just becomes like the identity of
16:49
Speaker 2: the team where I think like it would be it
16:53
Speaker 2: would be interesting to me to say who would give
16:58
Speaker 2: us the most explosive plays, And right now, I don't
17:03
Speaker 2: think that Justin Fields has the accuracy on the deep ball.
17:07
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean that he can't throw a deep ball, but
17:11
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing the connection on these deep ball passes
17:14
Speaker 2: on a consistent level for me to say.
17:17
Speaker 3: And the reason why it's so important is we.
17:20
Speaker 2: Want to run the ball, and what's gonna keep them
17:22
Speaker 2: honest is keeping people at the blocks. If you can
17:25
Speaker 2: throw at more than ten are yards and when you
17:31
Speaker 2: have a guy who's inaccurate and averaging five yards per
17:37
Speaker 2: attempt at gonna cut it.
17:40
Speaker 3: And that was the synopsis of this game.
17:42
Speaker 2: Right was what I wanted to see was can we
17:48
Speaker 2: aired out throw it with big plays. Weather played a
17:54
Speaker 2: factor to that a little bit, but it didn't from
17:57
Speaker 2: my understanding, it didn't rain. It rained, so wasn't so
18:01
Speaker 2: much that the factors of the game for three hours
18:04
Speaker 2: playing through a swamp. It was just more of slick
18:10
Speaker 2: field condition. So element decide.
18:16
Speaker 3: I just think that it was.
18:16
Speaker 2: A very disappointing performance and something that just gives me.
18:24
Speaker 3: No confidence.
18:25
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess I don't disagree with you in
18:29
Speaker 1: theory and look at the start of the year, I said,
18:35
Speaker 1: I think Russell Wilson should be the guy. Before this
18:38
Speaker 1: calf injury that has apparently just crippled him became a thing.
18:46
Speaker 3: Said Achilles Heel. It's the Achilles calf.
18:49
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, I guess if you're asking me
18:55
Speaker 1: for my personal preference, I'm not really sure. If you're
18:58
Speaker 1: asking me what I would do if I was the
18:59
Speaker 1: co which I'm not sure. I'm just looking at it
19:02
Speaker 1: from based on where we're at in the season. I
19:07
Speaker 1: think it's going to have to take a really poor performance,
19:10
Speaker 1: like a bad performance from Justin Field, for them to
19:13
Speaker 1: take the spot away from him. But if he keeps
19:16
Speaker 1: doing well enough, I just don't think they're gonna make
19:21
Speaker 1: that change. Let's say, if the Steelers will lose and
19:27
Speaker 1: they go to three and three and he throws two interceptions,
19:33
Speaker 1: I think that we might be seeing Russell Wilson because
19:36
Speaker 1: at that point you're three and three, the Ravens have
19:38
Speaker 1: already caught up with you. Which is another disappointing thing
19:41
Speaker 1: that happened on Sunday. We almost kept our buffer on
19:44
Speaker 1: the division, but the Bengals blew it, as they always
19:48
Speaker 1: do for us, then you can have that discussion, I think.
19:53
Speaker 1: But if they win and let's say he has two
19:57
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards in a touchdown, I don't know.
20:01
Speaker 1: I guess with everything you've said about the offense in
20:03
Speaker 1: your analysis of the game, I just don't think Russell
20:08
Speaker 1: Wilson's gonna come in off the bench six seven games
20:12
Speaker 1: in and be a world of difference. I don't know.
20:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, And this thing is so another interesting caveat to
20:22
Speaker 2: this is so justin Field's trade becomes a fourth rounder
20:28
Speaker 2: instead of a sixth rounder if Fields plays fifty one snaps.
20:33
Speaker 2: So I don't think that a Day two or Day
20:36
Speaker 2: three pick becoming a better Day three pick is going
20:39
Speaker 2: to decide the fate of who we want a quarterback
20:44
Speaker 2: if that quarterback is producing, but if that quarterback has
20:48
Speaker 2: question marks and you're looking for a spark, I just
20:58
Speaker 2: I think that like the time to try that is soon,
21:05
Speaker 2: maybe not now. It all depends on Russell's health, But
21:12
Speaker 2: it's just something to consider because I just.
21:14
Speaker 3: Don't, you know.
21:16
Speaker 2: Once their dominitor clicks, that's fine, But like if we
21:20
Speaker 2: don't have a quarterback and we don't feel sold on
21:22
Speaker 2: the quarterback and we gave up two additional rounds for
21:27
Speaker 2: that said quarterback, and we still end up at nine
21:30
Speaker 2: and eight.
21:32
Speaker 3: Did we accomplish anything? And so I don't know.
21:37
Speaker 2: I think that, like it would be interesting to see
21:41
Speaker 2: if Russ is a better fit and what could be
21:44
Speaker 2: the quarterback for this team during the prime of TJ
21:50
Speaker 2: and Cam for the next three years versus the next
21:54
Speaker 2: ten with Fields.
21:56
Speaker 3: If Fields is a question mark, you know. So again,
21:59
Speaker 3: there's a lot of what is going on right here,
22:03
Speaker 3: but I think that.
22:05
Speaker 2: There's as much a coaching in front off this decision
22:09
Speaker 2: to kind of think through who is going to be
22:11
Speaker 2: the quarterback going forward.
22:14
Speaker 1: Yep, well that'll a lot of that's going to be
22:20
Speaker 1: decided to in the coming weeks. And I do think
22:22
Speaker 1: that this game is very important for the Steelers and
22:26
Speaker 1: for Justin Fields, mainly because this is yet another game that,
22:31
Speaker 1: if you look at it, the Steelers should win. We
22:35
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to do a big breakdown on why the
22:37
Speaker 1: Steelers should beat the Las Vegas Raiders right now. We'll
22:41
Speaker 1: still go through it. But this is a game that
22:44
Speaker 1: I would say is comparable to the game against the Colts,
22:48
Speaker 1: where it's one you walk into it and you're like, Okay,
22:50
Speaker 1: there is no justifiable reason that anyone should be picking
22:54
Speaker 1: the Steelers to lose this game unless the Steelers are
22:56
Speaker 1: going to beat themselves. And if they go in and
22:59
Speaker 1: lose this game, I think that that certainly expedites those
23:03
Speaker 1: conversations that we're talking about, particularly again if fields placed poorly.
23:08
Speaker 1: But we've seen it. I would argue for two weeks
23:13
Speaker 1: now in games that the Steelers probably should have won,
23:16
Speaker 1: they didn't do what they need to do as a team,
23:18
Speaker 1: and here we are sitting at three and two instead
23:20
Speaker 1: of five and zero or even four and one. So,
23:25
Speaker 1: as I just said, the Steelers will travel to Las
23:27
Speaker 1: Vegas to play the Raiders at four o'clock Eastern time.
23:33
Speaker 1: They won the last time they went out to Vegas
23:35
Speaker 1: as well. Raiders are going through a lot, they've got
23:38
Speaker 1: a new coach. Obviously, the talk has been about trading
23:43
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams. I think that even if Steelers fans like
23:47
Speaker 1: us and I think we both agreed that we would
23:49
Speaker 1: like to take him if possible last week, I don't
23:53
Speaker 1: think that trade's happening before the game, nor do I
23:56
Speaker 1: think if it did, he would be suiting up for
23:58
Speaker 1: the Steelers at this point on a well by the
24:01
Speaker 1: time this gets posted Wednesday before a Sunday came. So, look,
24:08
Speaker 1: the Raiders are a mess right now as an organization,
24:11
Speaker 1: They've been a mess for a while. I think if
24:16
Speaker 1: the Steelers right the ship and do what they're supposed
24:20
Speaker 1: to do and we see I wouldn't even call it
24:23
Speaker 1: improvement if you just get back to where they were
24:25
Speaker 1: after week three, because it's not improvement if you get
24:28
Speaker 1: back to where you were. They need to go beyond that.
24:32
Speaker 1: But if they can get back to the spot that
24:34
Speaker 1: they were at, we see good throws, we see a
24:37
Speaker 1: team running the ball effectively, and I think having jail
24:40
Speaker 1: and Warren back if he's healthy, would be a big
24:41
Speaker 1: boost for that. And honestly, on the defensive side of
24:46
Speaker 1: the ball, I'm not really sure who's to blame for
24:51
Speaker 1: giving up all these yards that they have the past
24:54
Speaker 1: two weeks to Joe Flacco and Dak Prescott. But I
24:59
Speaker 1: think if defense can just tighten things up a little
25:01
Speaker 1: bit or go a long way, and frankly, I don't
25:03
Speaker 1: think that's too big of a of an ask with
25:07
Speaker 1: probably Aidan O'Connell being the quarterback opposite them, so Eric
25:12
Speaker 1: as we look ahead to this game on Sunday. What
25:14
Speaker 1: are some keys for you?
25:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one's tough because so the Raiders are kind
25:28
Speaker 2: of an interesting team.
25:31
Speaker 3: They one we hate playing out West.
25:38
Speaker 2: It's a it's always a tough one. I'm not sure
25:43
Speaker 2: who even like the quarterback is. I don't know if
25:45
Speaker 2: Gardner is. I don't know Connor is the quarterback there.
25:52
Speaker 2: And you know they have their turmoil with with DeVante
25:58
Speaker 2: requesting a trade.
26:00
Speaker 3: But you know, I think the Raiders are kind of
26:05
Speaker 3: a feisty.
26:06
Speaker 2: Team, kind of an unpredictable team too. They beat the
26:13
Speaker 2: Ravens in Week two, lost to the.
26:17
Speaker 3: Panthers and the Broncos.
26:18
Speaker 2: They got smoked by the Broncos, lost by sixteen points.
26:24
Speaker 2: So and then their two wins are by combined seven points.
26:32
Speaker 2: The other losses they've lost by almost two touchdowns or more.
26:36
Speaker 3: So you know, this is a this is a weird game.
26:43
Speaker 2: Looking at it from the Steelers standpoint, I think that
26:46
Speaker 2: there's again they just need to take a hard look
26:49
Speaker 2: at what is our offensive strategy and execute on that strategy.
26:56
Speaker 2: I've given my thoughts on how they should go about it,
26:59
Speaker 2: but you know, I don't necessarily think any drastic measures
27:05
Speaker 2: are gonna occur. So I think we're gonna have a
27:09
Speaker 2: little bit more of the same where we're really just
27:12
Speaker 2: relying on two elements of our team, which is special
27:17
Speaker 2: teams to continue to thrive, whether it's through Boswell's leg
27:22
Speaker 2: or the block field goal as an example, and the
27:27
Speaker 2: defense to continue doing turnovers. Look this last week, they
27:31
Speaker 2: got three turnovers. I had a defensive coordinator in high
27:34
Speaker 2: school told me to the defense, if you get three
27:38
Speaker 2: turnovers and you don't win that game, I don't want
27:42
Speaker 2: to blame the offense, but you did your part. Defense
27:48
Speaker 2: did their part. They've been doing their part. Exide from
27:51
Speaker 2: one game. It's that rocket science. You guys score more
27:57
Speaker 2: points than the other team. If your offensive and score
28:00
Speaker 2: a lot of points, you're not gonna win a lot
28:02
Speaker 2: of games. So what do we need to see on
28:07
Speaker 2: Sunday in order to get a win.
28:09
Speaker 3: We need to score more than twin points. So that's that's.
28:17
Speaker 1: Like I said, we shouldn't have to do a huge
28:19
Speaker 1: breakdown here. I think that it's a pretty straightforward game.
28:23
Speaker 1: Like I said, there's quarterback drama in oak and see
28:27
Speaker 1: there in Oakland. In Las Vegas, there's lots of drama
28:30
Speaker 1: in Oakland too of a different drama. Quarterback drama, wide
28:34
Speaker 1: receiver drama. It's it's not good over there right now.
28:40
Speaker 1: Uh you know, Look, I I would like the offense
28:47
Speaker 1: to see some improvement. We talked a little bit about
28:51
Speaker 1: the effort from George Pickens. It's it is kind of
28:54
Speaker 1: frustrating to me because I just I don't want drama.
28:59
Speaker 1: I just want people to the game. And it feels
29:01
Speaker 1: like it feels like we just have a knack for
29:06
Speaker 1: finding those wide receivers that just love to create drama.
29:12
Speaker 1: And I've defended Pickens before too when people I thought
29:14
Speaker 1: were making something out of nothing on the sideline. But
29:19
Speaker 1: when you're doing the face paint stuff and half ass
29:23
Speaker 1: in it, it's a problem. And as I'm looking back
29:27
Speaker 1: at the wide receivers that the Steelers have had over
29:30
Speaker 1: the past fifteen years, it's kind of crazy, come to
29:34
Speaker 1: think of it, going all the way back to Mike
29:37
Speaker 1: Wallace and a little bit of Santonio Holmes as well.
29:41
Speaker 1: But look at Frankly, I would like to see some
29:46
Speaker 1: improvement from the running game as well. Fourteen carries for
29:51
Speaker 1: forty two yards is unacceptable in my opinion. It's got
29:56
Speaker 1: to be a little bit higher than that, and I
29:58
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a nagy thing, if it's line
30:00
Speaker 1: or a scheme thing. I think that's got to be better.
30:04
Speaker 1: And frankly, all of that's going to complement the defense. So,
30:07
Speaker 1: as I said, I wasn't happy they gave up four
30:09
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty or so yards to Dak Prescott. If
30:13
Speaker 1: the offense is able to sustain drives a little longer,
30:16
Speaker 1: that would almost certainly help the defense. It's all relative,
30:20
Speaker 1: So you touched on the turnovers as well. Normally, winning
30:26
Speaker 1: the turnover battle, especially when you have three turnovers, is
30:30
Speaker 1: a recipe for success. I think if they do that
30:34
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, they should be fine. And of course
30:39
Speaker 1: we need mister one hundred Sacman to make another big
30:41
Speaker 1: appearance too. I think his presence, particularly with her big
30:45
Speaker 1: being out, is going to need to be felt. So
30:49
Speaker 1: all that being said, I'll still give the Steelers a
30:52
Speaker 1: win here. I don't I'm not really confident on what
30:56
Speaker 1: the score will be because I would hope that after
30:58
Speaker 1: the two losses they've had, they're going to be pissed
31:00
Speaker 1: off and come out guns and blazing. But at the
31:03
Speaker 1: same time, we thought they've hit rock bottom before and
31:05
Speaker 1: then they just barrel out even further. So I'll give
31:10
Speaker 1: them the win. I think it'll probably be a twenty
31:15
Speaker 1: four to seventeen win.
31:22
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad that you're you're optimistic. I'm gonna go
31:26
Speaker 2: a different direction. I don't like the West Coast. I
31:30
Speaker 2: am soured on the offense. I think that injuries on defense. Look,
31:40
Speaker 2: Watt is superman, Ayward's been playing great. I think this
31:46
Speaker 2: seems to be playing well, but like you need other guys.
31:50
Speaker 3: I think that, like losing two.
31:53
Speaker 2: Of your other top three pass rushers is gonna eventually weigh.
31:58
Speaker 3: On this team.
32:00
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's gonna come down to this game
32:02
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden we're gonna get lit up,
32:04
Speaker 2: but without the offense doing their part, I just don't
32:10
Speaker 2: see it happening.
32:11
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go Steelers losing. Let's go twenty three to.
32:31
Speaker 3: Thirteen.
32:33
Speaker 1: All right, Not to put you on the spot or anything,
32:35
Speaker 1: but if your prediction comes true, do you think that
32:39
Speaker 1: that's the last start we see from justin fields, barring
32:43
Speaker 1: other injuries to other players?
32:46
Speaker 3: I think yeah. I mean.
32:50
Speaker 2: It's tough because I don't think that I don't think
32:57
Speaker 2: the Steelers like change.
33:01
Speaker 1: Obviously, but.
33:06
Speaker 2: You know, we have had the offensive scored over twenty
33:11
Speaker 2: points and one game and that was a loss, all right,
33:18
Speaker 2: because we scored twenty against the Chargers.
33:21
Speaker 3: So I think that, like, you need to consider it.
33:28
Speaker 2: We have a really good stretch of winnable games between Raiders, Jets, Giants.
33:37
Speaker 2: Commanders are actually looking pretty darn good right now, right
33:41
Speaker 2: so I would actually say that we're not going to
33:43
Speaker 2: go into that favor, but look, we need to start
33:48
Speaker 2: figuring something out. And I think, you know, trying to
33:53
Speaker 2: do it during the stretch of the New York games
33:56
Speaker 2: and then going into the bye week to then go
33:59
Speaker 2: into the Commanders.
34:01
Speaker 3: Ravens. Browns are a.
34:03
Speaker 2: Heaping pile of poo right now, but it's still a
34:06
Speaker 2: division game. Bengals should be better than a one to
34:11
Speaker 2: four team. I think that they need to give whatever
34:18
Speaker 2: the quarterback will be sometime and they I don't think
34:21
Speaker 2: that this is going to be a hotthand we're going
34:25
Speaker 2: to change quarterback weekly thing. So I think if they
34:29
Speaker 2: make the change, it's going to be a stretch of games.
34:33
Speaker 2: So if they don't make it prior to the buye,
34:38
Speaker 2: which would be the beginning of November. If things have
34:43
Speaker 2: not changed over these the course of the next three weeks,
34:47
Speaker 2: I definitely think that Russell, if healthy, will take over.
34:51
Speaker 1: Remember in the offseason when all the talk was about
34:54
Speaker 1: how long are they going to give Russell Wilson til
34:56
Speaker 1: they put justin fields in the turntables have turned.
35:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean, like if you look at the
35:09
Speaker 5: offensive stats, right, I mean, we're among the worst in
35:15
Speaker 5: the league, I mean just not even close.
35:21
Speaker 2: Like the teams that are below us in the AFC
35:26
Speaker 2: very surprising Dolphins, Patriots, Chargers, Browns, Titans.
35:32
Speaker 3: Talking about.
35:34
Speaker 2: A bunch of teams that have either injured quarterbacks or
35:40
Speaker 2: should these guys be quarterbacks or rookie quarterbacks. So this
35:49
Speaker 2: this team, while like transitioning, they have the talent.
35:55
Speaker 3: To not be producing that poorly.
35:57
Speaker 1: So all right, well there you go. Eric has the
36:03
Speaker 1: Steelers losing. I've got them winning. Hopefully I'm right. I
36:06
Speaker 1: think Eric also hopes I'm right and we come back
36:10
Speaker 1: from Vegas with a win. Since we are playing in
36:14
Speaker 1: Vegas this weekend, we thought it might be kind of
36:17
Speaker 1: interesting to talk about sports franchise relocations and times it's
36:21
Speaker 1: worked out. We can probably talk about times it hasn't
36:24
Speaker 1: worked out too but again, since I'm running things here,
36:29
Speaker 1: we're going to be optimistic, so talk about times that
36:31
Speaker 1: they worked out. So I'll let you take the lead.
36:35
Speaker 1: Eric doesn't have to be football. I know that Vegas
36:37
Speaker 1: is kind of the hot place right now. But are
36:40
Speaker 1: there any sports franchise relocations that come to the front
36:43
Speaker 1: of your mind when you think about successful relocations?
36:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean so I think that, Yeah, an easy
36:55
Speaker 3: one in.
36:55
Speaker 2: The NFL for me, Baltimore, and that might sting in
37:02
Speaker 2: the vein of our division rivals, the Browns. But if
37:06
Speaker 2: you look at it, what have the Ravens done versus
37:10
Speaker 2: what the Browns done since that has occurred. The Ravens
37:13
Speaker 2: have won correct me? Two Super Bowls, Yes, and have
37:20
Speaker 2: been one of the most consistent playoff teams.
37:29
Speaker 3: Since they have relocated.
37:32
Speaker 2: You know, if you had to go back to their
37:35
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine relocation, probably at least in the top
37:40
Speaker 2: ten of wins in the NFL. Browns well, probably in
37:48
Speaker 2: the bottom five wins since that time.
37:52
Speaker 3: So you know, I think that in the Baltimore you.
37:58
Speaker 2: Know, they the rally around that team, our biggest rival.
38:05
Speaker 2: I would say I was actually kind of curious is interesting.
38:10
Speaker 2: I found the list basketball. Man. They jesus, I don't
38:16
Speaker 2: of you ever watched the Basketball movie.
38:20
Speaker 1: I was gonna make that same comment and talk about
38:22
Speaker 1: the opening.
38:25
Speaker 2: They make fun of, like teams relocating all the time. Man,
38:29
Speaker 2: basketball is just the wild West. Like if you had
38:32
Speaker 2: a team, you better they're not like hold on to
38:38
Speaker 2: that jersey too longs. They might be not just moved once,
38:43
Speaker 2: but twice by the time you give it to your kids.
38:45
Speaker 2: So you know, in basketball, though, I think interesting ones are.
38:52
Speaker 2: I think Lakers obviously, and in basketball more than I
39:00
Speaker 2: think in any other league. They hold onto these nicknames.
39:05
Speaker 2: So you know, coming from Minnesota, land of one thousand lakes, to.
39:12
Speaker 3: L a right.
39:14
Speaker 2: Uh, California constantly has droughts, so land of no water.
39:22
Speaker 1: Well that was the joke in the movie out.
39:23
Speaker 2: Of tunneling out from the Pacific Ocean over there.
39:27
Speaker 1: Well that was the joke in the movie that you
39:28
Speaker 1: mentioned too. They say the Lakers moved to Los Angeles
39:31
Speaker 1: where there are no lakes.
39:33
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
39:35
Speaker 2: The best one though, is Salt Lake City jazz or
39:40
Speaker 2: Utah jazz.
39:41
Speaker 3: Just I don't think any jazz is going on Salt
39:45
Speaker 3: Lake City.
39:46
Speaker 1: Yeah.
39:47
Speaker 3: But but now.
39:50
Speaker 2: I'd say, yeah, those are definitely the two that kind
39:54
Speaker 2: of come to my mind.
39:56
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this kind of on and off
39:59
Speaker 1: while we were taking earlier and it kind of dawned
40:04
Speaker 1: on me. It's kind of interesting too, how one team
40:07
Speaker 1: moves and that sets off a chain reaction across the league.
40:11
Speaker 1: So you mentioned the Browns moving to Baltimore. Well, that
40:15
Speaker 1: was only possible because the Baltimore Colts left in the
40:19
Speaker 1: middle of the night to move to Indianapolis, which created
40:22
Speaker 1: an opening in Baltimore, which caused the Browns to move
40:26
Speaker 1: to Baltimore, and then the new Browns to come back
40:30
Speaker 1: as an expansion team a couple of years later. So
40:35
Speaker 1: instead of just a new team being added to Indianapolis
40:39
Speaker 1: from the start, we had to shuffle three teams around.
40:45
Speaker 1: But it always usually comes down to stadium deals and
40:48
Speaker 1: public support and things like that. I think the Rams
40:55
Speaker 1: are a particularly interesting one because I'm pretty sure they
40:58
Speaker 1: started out in Cleveland first for maybe a couple years,
41:02
Speaker 1: and then moved to LA and then moved to Saint
41:05
Speaker 1: Louis and then moved back to LA. But in the process,
41:12
Speaker 1: the team's valuation at least moving from Saint Louis back
41:15
Speaker 1: to LA. The valuation went up through the roof. They
41:19
Speaker 1: got a state of the art facility, and they built
41:22
Speaker 1: this momentum towards getting a Super Bowl, which they did
41:25
Speaker 1: they won. They've won one Super Bowl and I think
41:29
Speaker 1: they've been there six or seven years, So that's not
41:34
Speaker 1: a bad turnaround really when you think about it. If
41:39
Speaker 1: we're talking about general relocations, I think one of the
41:43
Speaker 1: more important ones in professional sports was actually when both
41:46
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and the Giants agreed, I think roughly the
41:51
Speaker 1: same time, to move to California and bring baseball to
41:55
Speaker 1: the West Coast. That was a big deal because at
41:58
Speaker 1: the time, if you're history buff like me, you know,
42:01
Speaker 1: New York City had three Major League Baseball teams and
42:05
Speaker 1: it was a different time. There was obviously not an internet,
42:08
Speaker 1: the media wasn't as widely available. A lot of times
42:11
Speaker 1: you wouldn't even know what happened at the games unless
42:13
Speaker 1: you happened to personally go or read the paper the
42:16
Speaker 1: next day. But moving those two franchises from New York
42:23
Speaker 1: City out to LA and San Francisco helped bring the
42:28
Speaker 1: game to an audience further out made the game more nationalized.
42:34
Speaker 1: I guess we could say and then kind of, like
42:36
Speaker 1: I mentioned, setting off a chain reaction. Almost as soon
42:41
Speaker 1: as those teams left, there was a new movement to
42:43
Speaker 1: bring the National League back to New York City. And
42:45
Speaker 1: that's how you get the Mets being founded. And I
42:48
Speaker 1: didn't even know this until I read up about it
42:50
Speaker 1: a few years ago. The reason the Mets colors are
42:54
Speaker 1: orange and blue is because they took the primary colors
42:57
Speaker 1: from each the Giants and the Dodgers and just mashed
43:00
Speaker 1: them together, just kind of att Yeah, it's kind of
43:03
Speaker 1: a little fun fact there. So I would say that
43:07
Speaker 1: was a pretty good relocation, I would say, And I
43:11
Speaker 1: don't know if you're a big hockey fan or not,
43:13
Speaker 1: I don't know. We used to play the game on
43:14
Speaker 1: the Xbox just to fight people. But the whole Arizona
43:21
Speaker 1: Wild moving to Utah has just been so fascinating to me.
43:26
Speaker 1: Have you followed that at all.
43:30
Speaker 3: A little bit?
43:31
Speaker 2: Just I saw that Utah sking a team, I actually
43:34
Speaker 2: didn't know it's a relocation, that that was an expansion.
43:37
Speaker 1: No, So I don't know all the details, but apparently
43:41
Speaker 1: when they were in Arizona, they were very very poorly mishandled,
43:45
Speaker 1: like the team wasn't paying rent or something to the
43:48
Speaker 1: arena or something crazy like that. They moved out of
43:52
Speaker 1: their NHL sized arena and into a college hockey arena
43:57
Speaker 1: that seated five thousand people. And I guess at one
44:01
Speaker 1: point it got so bad that the or the NHL
44:04
Speaker 1: just rescinded ownership. They took the ownership themselves. They sold
44:09
Speaker 1: it to the group that owns the Utah Jazz and
44:16
Speaker 1: some other team, and they that's why they're in Salt
44:20
Speaker 1: Lake City now they're in Utah. So yeah, it was
44:24
Speaker 1: just kind of odd. It was like a forced relocation.
44:27
Speaker 1: Not only are we going to take your team away
44:29
Speaker 1: from you so that they can actually survive, we're gonna
44:32
Speaker 1: take them out of the state, give them a new
44:34
Speaker 1: name and a new owner as well. So just kind
44:38
Speaker 1: of neat. I don't want to say neat because Arizona
44:41
Speaker 1: lost their hockey team now, but it was just really
44:44
Speaker 1: interesting to see that all play out. And now I
44:47
Speaker 1: will say I'm disappointed in the trend that Washington started
44:51
Speaker 1: by calling themselves the Washington football team. For a couple
44:55
Speaker 1: of years, they're just the Utah Hockey Club, I think
44:57
Speaker 1: is their name, Like get a real mascot or don't
44:59
Speaker 1: be anything at all. So so I'll mentioned that. And
45:05
Speaker 1: then obviously the big ones that we've talked about are
45:08
Speaker 1: the city of Oakland lost all three of their big
45:12
Speaker 1: three sports teams in the last several years. The Golden
45:16
Speaker 1: State Warriors moved from Oakland to San Francisco proper, then
45:21
Speaker 1: the Raiders left the Oakland Coliseum. Is we're aware of
45:26
Speaker 1: this is their third year I think in Vegas or
45:29
Speaker 1: fourth year they go to Vegas. And then the final
45:33
Speaker 1: nail in the coffin was the A's moving to Vegas
45:35
Speaker 1: as well. So I don't think we've seen the last
45:40
Speaker 1: of relocation. I think that the next time there's a
45:43
Speaker 1: team that's kind of not successful and they need a
45:47
Speaker 1: new stadium, that's going to be thrown out there. But
45:51
Speaker 1: I hope it settles down for at least a little bit.
45:55
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
46:00
Speaker 2: The landscape of sports in general, I mean we're seeing
46:03
Speaker 2: it with college too, different money grabs and stuff. You know,
46:09
Speaker 2: it's kind of wild to see what's going on with
46:11
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve Pack two the Mountain West, and you know,
46:20
Speaker 2: what does that mean for the rest of the league.
46:22
Speaker 2: So and then I'm even seeing new reports about like
46:28
Speaker 2: could just become the Big twelve and SEC with whatever's
46:34
Speaker 2: left over for the remainder. So yeah, could just be
46:37
Speaker 2: two power conferences when not too long ago we had five.
46:41
Speaker 3: So yeah, So I mean that's a.
46:46
Speaker 2: Good thing about the balance of like the NFL, at
46:51
Speaker 2: least there's a little bit more continuity to it. Obviously
46:54
Speaker 2: there's still some things that shift, but you know, definitely
47:00
Speaker 2: think it's for the better. And then you know, it's
47:05
Speaker 2: it's interesting, like you mentioned before this called you've never
47:12
Speaker 2: been to Vegas.
47:15
Speaker 3: I've been there, and I mean maybe I haven't been.
47:20
Speaker 2: To like the surrounding areas as much, but just surprises
47:24
Speaker 2: me to think that they would have enough people out
47:27
Speaker 2: there to support and I understand there's so many tourists
47:31
Speaker 2: that go to these games, but that there would be enough.
47:36
Speaker 3: Volume to support four major pro teams.
47:41
Speaker 2: So like now they're gonna have the A's Raiders, they
47:49
Speaker 2: have the Golden Knights, and Lebron James wants to do
47:53
Speaker 2: an expansion team in basketball.
47:55
Speaker 3: So yeah, I just don't I don't get it well.
48:03
Speaker 1: And the interesting thing about Vegas too, and this will
48:06
Speaker 1: probably excite you because you're an accountant, it'll probably bore
48:09
Speaker 1: everyone else to tears because of their tax system. They're
48:14
Speaker 1: one of the few cities that can pull off paying
48:16
Speaker 1: for their stadiums and arenas the way they do. They
48:19
Speaker 1: just add taxes onto their hospitality So those taxes you're
48:23
Speaker 1: paying at your next hotel stay there, you're helping build
48:27
Speaker 1: the stadiums, so it's less of a burden on the
48:29
Speaker 1: citizens that are there too. So they just have a
48:32
Speaker 1: little bit of a different flex kind of flexibility that
48:35
Speaker 1: most other places can't offer. Because okay, let's just pick
48:39
Speaker 1: any other city in the NFL. We'll dump on Cincinnati
48:42
Speaker 1: because that's our hometown. Cincinnati doesn't have the tourist attraction
48:47
Speaker 1: that Las Vegas does. Yeah, so even though they don't
48:52
Speaker 1: have this, they are a pretty fast, rapidly growing city
48:56
Speaker 1: as I understand it. But they have other tricks up
49:01
Speaker 1: their sleeve that other cities aren't privy to, which, yeah, talcoes.
49:06
Speaker 1: So all right, we'll talk more taxes next week on
49:10
Speaker 1: Steelers Country Weekly. Was there was there anything else you
49:13
Speaker 1: wanted to touch on before we signed off for the night.
49:22
