• 0:07
  Speaker 1: This is the Steelers Report with Brian Batko and Ed
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Troup on Steelers Nation Radio, a part of the Steelers
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Audio Network.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Kicking off the 3 o'clock hour here on the Steelers Report.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Talking about the Steelers and Browns, our top 10 moments
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: from Steelers 27, Browns.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: 6 after week 8.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that in just a few minutes, but
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Double B, before we jump into that, I wanted to
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Talk a bit about the Steelers' decision, and I'm teasing this,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: but good chance it'll be part of our top ten
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: moments in plays coming up.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Maybe not right away.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: But the decision by Mike McCarthy at the end of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the first half to go for the touchdown and not
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: settle for a field goal with no timeouts left. I
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: wanted to get your take because we have yet to
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: talk about what were you thinking about During that scenario
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: going in, because I was not expecting them to try
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to punch it in. I was expecting a field goal
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: at most in that situation. But my goodness, the decision
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: to just go for it, have all the momentum in
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the world at halftime to be up, what, 20-6 at
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: that point, instead of just 13-6 or 16-6, was a
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: defining moment in that game.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: And the Steelers pulled it off well. pretty crisp, too,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: to their credit.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: You mentioned it, I think, in your recap article, the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: McCarthy moment that we saw during training camp that they
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: practiced and repped so many times during the training camp
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: came into play in that situation because they had to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: quickly transition to get down and go for it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: It truly was a McCarthy moment.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I loved it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: I generally err on the side of aggression. I don't
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: know if it's It's kind of ironic. Like, some people
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: will be like, oh, it's analytics.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: That's dumb.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: But it's like, isn't the whole notion of dropping your
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: you-know-what and trying to get a yard, that's like the
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: essence of hard-o football.
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Culture.
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: And yet, so many of the hard-o football people out
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: there are like, you got to take the points.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Like, go get a yard, you know? Sure, you might
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: get stopped. But guess what? The half's over and you
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: get the ball coming out of the half anyway. So.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: I loved that call from McCarthy slash Rogers. I guess
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: he was the one who was very adamant they should
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: keep the offense on the field. But yeah, I think
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: that that was a great move. I always am on
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: board with that when it's not that scenario. And if
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: you don't get it, well, your opponent's backed up to
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: their own one anyway. So I think there's a ton
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: of logic in going for it from the one.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: A lot more upside.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: If it's fourth and one and say there's six minutes
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: left in the half instead of one second, but.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I thought that was a great moment for them.
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: It also, just in terms of the vibe and the
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: flow of that game, I thought it atoned for the
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: botched goal line series a little bit earlier, where I
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: thought they should have done exactly the opposite, which was
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: throw a fade to DK and then another pass. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: thought that was one where just, hey, just come in
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: and mash them four times in a row. You're going
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: to get that yard. So they got some redemption. from
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: that standpoint they got to give it back to the
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: offensive line and allow them to you know be the
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: heroes in that moment and I know it's easy to
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: say after the fact because it worked but I think
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: even in the press box I was either saying to
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: myself under my breath or in my head or maybe
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: to Jerry Dulac next to me or Teresa Varley on
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: the other side they should they should go for it
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: here I'm glad they did and.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: It worked a hall of fame head coach and Bill
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Cower used to always say when he was the head
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: coach here if you can't get a yard you don't
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: deserve to win in the National Football League.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: And I've always felt that way too, Brian.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: At this level of football, if you can't just simply
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: put your offensive line down and run behind the big
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: boys and pick up a yard, then maybe you don't
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: deserve to win games. But it was something that I
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: thought the Steelers executed very well, and they seized the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: opportunity at that point because they showed confidence in that
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: offensive line. And this has been this team's physical identity
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: these last few weeks during this four-game win streak. Attack,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: be physical, and finish drives. And that's exactly what they
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: did before halftime. Because 20-6, now you're really forcing Cleveland
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: to come out on the other side of that halftime
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to get points on the board.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: And they didn't.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Steelers defense made a play. That might be part of
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: our top 10 plays in moments, too, coming up.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: We shall see.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: It was a big part.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: I guess this is circular logic a little bit because,
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: as I just said, if you don't get that yard
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: and score, it's kind of okay because you're getting the
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: ball coming out.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Well, the Steelers got the ball coming out. What'd they do?
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: They went what, five and out, not three and out,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: five and out, I think. So they did punt.
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: So had they not gotten that, if they would have
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: settled for a field goal there, yeah, and I guess
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: that's the other part of it, too. They could have
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: also not gone for it at all, and then the
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: score would have been.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: 16-6, 10-point lead at halftime, right?
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: So it would have been 16-6, but the Browns are probably,
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: you know, feeling good about themselves if they force a
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: punt on the first possession of the second half, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: then maybe momentum shifts a little bit more.
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: If they go down and score, well, now it's 16-13,
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: and you're feeling like, okay, the offense needs to have
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: a big response here. I like that they just responded
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: before the break, and I'd have to go back and
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: watch the play. I feel like because they spiked it
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: before the sneak to Fryermuth. I feel like I don't
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: know how much time was on the play clock when
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: they snapped it, but I feel like it was relatively–
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: There was a decent amount of time left, so I
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: think they might have caught the Browns off guard a
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: little bit, even as far as the cadence and the
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: snap count and when they actually snapped that ball. They
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: didn't catch them off guard with what they were doing.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers was standing behind the line with his hands
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: on his hips. I kind of like that, by the way.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: The timing of that and how you like Rodgers when
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: he does that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, it's like he's acting, you know. But he's
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: done that a few times.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: No, I thought the whole timing of that whole play
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: just worked.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: It did.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Obviously, they blew. blew away the Browns' defensive line for
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Fryermuth to push in.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: The gamble paid off, and will that be part of
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: our top ten plays of the week? You are about
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: to find out. But let's start with number ten, and
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: it's actually two plays for number ten. We doubled down
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: on ten, Brian. We had so many to choose from,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: we decided to put both the Chris Boswell field goals
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: together from 20 yards and 37 combined, six points in
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: this game at number ten.
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: This little chip shot is up, and this little chip
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: shot is good. And the Steelers have just scored from
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: the Heinz red zone.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Boz from 20 and then Boz from 37. Here's the snap.
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: Here's the boot by Boswell. That boot is up and
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: that boot is good. And the Steelers have just scored
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: from the Heinz red zone.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Boz from 20 gave the Steelers the lead in the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: first quarter, 10-0 at that point. It capped a drive
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: in which the Steelers drove 13 plays, 86 yards, and
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: then the Boz 37-yard field goal extended the Steeler lead
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: at that point to 13-3 in the second quarter. That
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: capped a 10-play, 45-yard drive. Boz also had a miss,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and again, we've talked about it. He's missed a few
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: here and there, Brian, but he's also come through when
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: they needed him.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he has, and I'm still disappointed Riding with Chris Boswell,
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: take my chances with him. You know, it's just a
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: week prior in Paris that they hit the run-on fire
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: drill field goal. So, yeah, I mean, good to see
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: Boswell put some through the uprights there. And now he
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: heads to Cincinnati where his statistics against the Bengals and
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: at Paycourse Stadium, I think, are pretty absurdly good. But
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: we can cross that bridge, not the bridge from Ohio
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: to Kentucky, but the one from Week 8 to Week
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: 10 next week. i walked that bridge by the way
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: did you yeah i've never done that i've driven across
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: it had the boys out there a few years back
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: and we went and it was during the summertime so
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: it wasn't during football season we saw both stadiums and
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: we there's the bridge that connects there's a little walkway
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: you can walk from one one side it's not a
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: short walk by the way yeah i know yeah especially
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: when you have little kids yeah i've driven across it
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: and it's it's a it's a large bridge yeah it
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: was like river it's ohio river right yeah and.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: It was like uh 86, 87 degrees, one of those hot,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: humid days. By the time we got to the other side,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: we were looking for something to drink, that's for sure.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: All right, hey, number nine on our list is Nick Herbig. Now,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Herbig's stats on Sunday, two tackles, a sack, a tackle
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: for loss, and a quarterback hit. Pretty good back-to-back games
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: now for Nick Herbig after he was quiet for a while.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: He is now put together during this streak, and here's
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: our number nine play.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: Watson gets a snap pressure coming in down he goes
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: it's Nick Herbig who picks.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Up the sack for the Steelers that was in the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: first half on Sunday and the Steelers they're uh well
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: they had eight sacks total and Nick Herbig got one
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: of them right there.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: Nick Herbig heating up at the right time I wonder
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: if his slow start to the season is actually paying
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: off for him a little bit in a way maybe
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: teams are not as worried about him when he's out
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: there but clearly he's still got the goods and Nice
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: to see from him. There's been so much talk about
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Graham utilizing him in some different ways and off-ball linebacker
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: and all that stuff, but he's proven in recent weeks
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: that he's still very good at simply ripping through, getting
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: to the QB, and that closing speed to me is
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: what makes Herbig great.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Both Steelers. The get-off and the closing speed.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: For sure, no doubt.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: As long as the in-between stuff goes all right, he's
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: going to get a sack.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Big part of his game. Patrick Queen and Peyton Wilson. Again,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: another big game this past week at the middle inside
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: linebacker spot. They combined for 20 tackles. Patrick Queen himself
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: had 12 of those 20. He also added a sack
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: and a half, a tackle for a loss, two quarterback hits,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: a pass deflection, and a forced fumble. Brian, Patrick Queen
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: on Sunday, this might have been his best game as
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: a Steeler yet. and he checks in at number eight
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: on our list with this.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: He is taken down.
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: He is sacked, and the ball came out. So Cam
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: Hayward was there initially, and then the ball forced out.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: And so the Steelers had the ball at the 45-yard line.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Queen was the one that forced that loose on the play.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: You can hear the hesitation by Rob King because it
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: wasn't clear at first that that was a fumble, but
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: it was, and Patrick Queen caused it.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: There were a lot of plays like that in that game,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: and man, is that a good thing.
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: Because if it's hard to tell who's getting the sack
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: or the forced fumble or the PBU, that means the
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: Steelers are getting hats to the ball, so to speak,
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: and gang tackling, swarming on the Browns, and especially Deshaun Watson.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: Going to need more where that came from against Joe
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals next time out.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Our No.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: 7 play and our No. 6 play, and we'll separate
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: them for you, involve Captain Cam, Cam Hayward. Big game
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. Six total tackles, a sack and a half,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: two tackle for losses, a quarterback hit, and a pass deflection.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Our No.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: 7 play.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Is one of.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: That you got a sack and a half but here's
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: the first in the first half for captain cam.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: Watson rolling out watson being corralled and watson being sacked
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: and it's cam hayward who has just had a magnificent
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: game this afternoon.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Like that by rob king throwing that big word out
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: there and you know what he's not wrong brian he
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: certainly did on sunday.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: What magnificent magnificent cam hayward now up to 94 and
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: a half career sacks in the regular season 95 and
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: a half if you count The postseason, he's getting close
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: to the century mark. Hopefully he can get there by
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: season's end, both for his sake and if Cam Hayward
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: is getting five or six more sacks this year, that'll
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: mean that the interior of that defensive line is messing
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: some stuff up.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: They're doing their job, that's for sure.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Number six is the Cam tackle for loss in the
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: third quarter, and this was key, Brian. It was part
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: of our changing, the turning point of the game yesterday
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: when we talked because it was the first of the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: two plays, and Darnell Washington's big 58-yard reception.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Was the other.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that later on on the second half
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: of this top ten moments and plays. Another tease for
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you there. But this was the first that stopped Cleveland.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I was ready to say Cincinnati. They're up next.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: The Browns, in the second half when they were starting
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: to drive, get towards midfield, Captain Cam said no more.
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: Watson turns, gives left side, penetration, and the stop on
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: the play as Cam Hayward came up and stopped Judkins
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: for a loss, and the Browns.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Lapped the punt.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: You heard Max Starks in the background there with the chuckle,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and rightfully so. Cam had himself quite the day on Sunday.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: No doubt, and that play, you know, Cam was the—
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: primary playmaker there, but everybody on the defense crashed down
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: on that play. Everybody wanted the smoke, as the kids say.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: That was a physical answer on really a key third
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: down early in that second half. If the Browns convert
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: that Who knows where that possession goes, where that drive goes,
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: and how the rest.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Of that half goes.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a big drive for them.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Maybe they climb back in if they pick that up.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: They might.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, Steelers at that point, like I said, it
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: was part of our turning point of the game yesterday.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It was the first of the two turning points that
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: we mentioned on the show, and that was the first
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: of them with Cam Hayward. Again, six tackles, a sack
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: and a half, two tackle for losses, two quarterback hits,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: and a pass deflection.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: For cam on sunday.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: You said he's closing in on 100 total sacks on
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: his career are you counting the you always count the
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: postseason don't you yeah he.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: Has one sack in the postseason so he's got 94
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: and a half regular season 95 and a half if
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: you include the postseason i.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Think he gets there this year that's tough because he
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: doesn't he's not a bit i mean those are big
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: numbers but he's played a long time yeah he's not
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: part of his top of his game.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: Correct he's got two and a half sacks now this
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: year he's he's usually helping create sacks for others more
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: than he's getting them himself but Cam Hayward has had
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: double-digit sack seasons in the past, three of them to
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: be exact. He had eight a couple years ago in 2024,
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: only three.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: And a half last year.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: But I think as long as he stays healthy, knock
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: on wood, they can come in bunches.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: What's his pass deflections for his career? That has to
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: be 70.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: 70 passes defended in his career. And actually, if you
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: include the playoffs, 71. So go back to it again.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's the strength of his game, stopping
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the run and knocking down passes at the line of scrimmage.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: He's one of the best at it ever.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: And he did it this past week as well against
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: the Cleveland Lions.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: He's already got six this year, tying his mark from
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: last season.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: I'm curious. Maybe we'll try to dig this up whenever
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: we come back from the break.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Where does he rank all-time for the Pittsburgh Steelers?
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: I think Rob may have mentioned that on the broadcast
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: at one point.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Not on that clip.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: There's a Watt involved, but it's not T.J.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, all right.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Well, there's a little tease for you.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Whenever we come back, we'll get through the top five
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: plays of the week between the Steelers and the Browns.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: But first, this is the Steelers report on SNR, part
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: of the Steelers Audio Network.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: It's the Steelers Report with Brian Batko and Ed Truth
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: on Steelers Nation Radio, a part of the Steelers Audio Network.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: When you work with a Steelers.com writer like Brian Batko,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: you can get the answer to Steeler questions rather quickly,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: or you can.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Just Google it.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Either way, you're going to get your answer.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: And Brian, you have it with Cam Hayward's career with
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: past deflections.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: I believe he's now tied with J.J.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Watt for fourth most by an interior defensive lineman in
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: NFL history. I might want to dive a little bit deeper,
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: do my own research on that, as they say.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: Your due diligence?
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: Yes, exactly. But there was some chatter about it in
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: the press box, and that's why I clicked in my brain.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, no, I think there actually was a
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: mark that Cam reached with his SWAT in that game.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: And then we were kind of talking, we're like, well,
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: there's different ways that you can look up that stat.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: Like I think your pro football focuses and things of
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: that nature, you know, chart separately batted passes at the line,
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: but you can also just assume if a man of
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: 260 pounds or more gets a pass defended, he probably
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: batted it at the line of scrimmage. I sure there's
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: been a two or three times maybe in cam's career
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: that he like dropped in coverage and disguise something and,
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: got a pass defense away from the line of scrimmage,
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: but those are few and far between. So by and large,
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: I think any, any PBU for a cam Hayward or
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: a JJ watt or a Calais Campbell, perhaps another good
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: call was, was.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: A SWAT was a batted pass, a tipped pass.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I only bring it up with you here on
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: the show, not only because it was part of our
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: highlight package there during our last segment as we get
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: through our top 10 plays of the week, which, by
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the way, we'll get through our top five in just
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: a few moments here, Brian.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: But when I was.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Watching the game and that happened, I thought to myself,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Cam has done that so many times in his career. Again,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the sack number, which is impressive for Cam Hayward. We
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: talked about that just a bit ago. But that's not
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: his game. His game is stopping the run, as you said,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: setting up his teammates, specifically the linebackers, to get those
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: splash plays. But batting down the pass at the line
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of scrimmage, he's just done it so many times. And
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: I thought to myself, he has to be up there.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: And I missed that with J.J. Watt that you just mentioned,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: but that's why I brought it up with you.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: Well, you know how my brain works. Now I'm going
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: to need to know who's ahead of them. I've found
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: one thus far, Kevin Williams, big dude who was with
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: the Vikings mostly and then a couple years with the
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: Seahawks and the Saints. He had 73 career passes defended.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: He was a D tackle.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: So Cam's going to be closing in on him then soon.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: He'll probably get that this season, I would think.
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Very well might if quarterbacks keep forgetting that Big 97
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: is going to get his hands up there and don't
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: change their launch angle or whatever.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: But I'll keep looking for who else.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Is ahead of him on the interior D lineman list.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: I'm going old school right now and just literally looking
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: at pbu career leaders in the end i don't know
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: if we count julius peppers in that mix since he
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: was an edge guy but he had.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: 82 in his career.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: So that's uh that's another one who's i think i
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: count him yeah i just don't know like whoever spit
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: out the stat about watt and hayward tied for fourth
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: i don't know if they counted edge defenders such as julius.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: I see what you're saying in the mix.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: Now how about i'm surprised calais campbell is behind him
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: because he's always been known for batting passes too but
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: he's got 65 he's still playing cameron jordan who the
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: stealer saw in paris same draft class as the other
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: camera and he's got 67 so cam hayward's above those.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Two guys how about stealers all-time pass deflections for.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: Interior i would do it for stealers cam is number
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: one yeah now yeah This is kind of like sacks.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: They didn't start tracking this stat until 82, I think.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: So you don't have that initial stat.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: So we don't know how many times necessarily that Joe
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: Green or Elsie Greenwood did it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Probably a lot.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, maybe even more than 70 times.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I would probably venture to guess.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: All right, Brian, let's get into our top five.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Speaking of records, our number five play of the week
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: involves our record.
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: Snap to watson back to pass looking pressure coming and
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: watson sack there it is tj watt more sacks against
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: afc quarterbacks more sacks against cleveland brown quarterbacks than anybody.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: In history tj watt once again breaking the record books.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: TJ is, he's back this season. I mean, remember all the, well,
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: what's the right word? Trepidation that many were having about
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: whether he'd bounce back, whether he'd justify that big deal.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Uncle Tommy word of the day.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Trepidation.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: Nice.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: We almost missed it. I got you. We almost ran
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: out of time on the Uncle Tommy word of the day.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: We did.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: The clock was ticking.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Buzzer beater just about.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: We got it in.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: A lot of trepidation from folks about TJ getting older.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: TJ down year in 2025. TJ missed a stretch of
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: games there with some health stuff. I mean, he looks
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: like his usual self.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: This year, I would say.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: He had two tackles, two sacks. You just heard one
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: of the two right there. Two tackle for losses, three
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: quarterback hits, and one pass deflection. His seven and a
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: half sacks is number one currently in the NFL right
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I believe tied.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: With Will Anderson.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Will Anderson.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Thank you. But T.J.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Watt, yeah, he's getting back to his old form. And,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: you know, he'd gone quiet on us a couple games.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: But boy, oh, boy, on Sunday against the Browns, he
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: reminded us exactly who he is.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: And T.J. Watt at the top of the leaderboard right there.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, number four on our list is Jalen Warren, who
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: once again had a huge game, and this touchdown towards
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: the end of the game for the Pittsburgh Steelers gave
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: them the 27-6 lead in.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: The third quarter. It was a quick drive, only two plays,
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: 59 yards.
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: Rodgers under center, tightly bunched formation, turns, gives, and this
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: is Jalen Warren, and Jalen Warren is in for a
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: Pittsburgh Steelers touchdown.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: The Steelers going into the game had, what, one rushing
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: touchdown on the year? Now they have three.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: Jalen Warren's probably like, you know what? It's nice to
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: score from a yard out.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: I didn't have to run 50 yards downfield to get
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: this one through the air or on the ground. But, yeah,
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: obviously set up by the big play to Darnell Washington.
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: If you're starting Darnell Washington in fantasy, first of all,
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: bold move. But second of all, you wish he would
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: have scored on that one. The Jalen Warren fantasy managers,
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: they don't need any more points. They're probably in first place.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: And you probably didn't get Jalen Warren until fifth, sixth,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: maybe seventh round of your fantasy football draft. So yeah,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: you're definitely playing the benefit of that. Jalen Warren on Sunday,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: 17 carries, 143 yards. and a touchdown that you just heard.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Jalen Warren, no doubt the Steelers MVP so far this season,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: and heck, he might even be involved in the overall
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: MVP in the NFL. I'm not saying he's number one
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: in that conversation, but he's probably in the handful of
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: names that you'd want to bring up for what he's
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: done throughout the first eight games.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Of the 2026 campaign let's.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Get to our top three brian and speaking of rushing
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: touchdowns i said steelers now have three on the season
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: you just heard number two uh well here's the other
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: one here's the third one.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: They're set up for the steel city shove here's fryer
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: moves straight ahead and the pushing and the shoving and
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: the touchdown pittsburgh.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Steelers Brian Bacco does not like the nickname.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: You're trying to get the Pittsburgh community, not just our
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: friend Rob King, but everyone to get behind another version
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: I don't dislike Steel City Shove, but I've been partial
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: to Pittsburgh Plunge from the very beginning. That's the one
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: that I was stumping for. It's election day, and I
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: was stumping for Pittsburgh Plunge when they started running it
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: last year to Connor Hayward, but Steel City Shove is
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: a pretty solid alternative. Anything's better than tush push one
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: which i can't stand but it's caught on so much
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: that like everybody just sort of uses it reflexively now
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: yeah and i also just don't like now this is
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: a little bit different it's more football brain it's probably
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: quick to jog a player's memory of what the the
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: package or the play call is but they called it
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: spartan last year with arthur smith and connor hayward they
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: did because he went to michigan state and um that's
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: the guy who gets the ball in his hands to
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: carry it forward yeah And then this year it's Nittany, apparently,
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy said after the game, because Pat Friermuth went
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: to Penn State. These guys, they call the plays and
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: they run the ball. They don't come up with nicknames
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: and slogans.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: You just don't like that because you're a Pitt guy.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Well, that too. At least you own it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: I like that, Brian.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: But I don't have anything against Michigan State, and I
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: didn't like that either.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Now, wait a minute.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Now I'm getting into the weeds with you, and we'll
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: get to our top two plays in a second, but
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Last year, they could have called it Meatball.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: That was Connor Hayward's nickname. That would have been way
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: more funny, catchy, unique.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: The Meatball push.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: Spartan. There have been a lot of Spartans to play
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: in the NFL.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: That's tough to come up with those nicknames when you're
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: a head coach.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: You're watching 25 hours of film. They've got a billion
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: things to do.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: If anybody wants to hire me as NFL play call
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: name consultant, I'm available.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: Have your people call my people.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Add it to your resume.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: Billable hours.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Coach Arth, Coach McCarthy.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Coach Angelico, all the offensive guys on the south side,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: you know where to find Double B. All right, let's
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: go to our top two. At number two, it's Rico
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Dattel from nine yards.
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: Here's a handoff to Dattel. Starts left, cuts back right.
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: Inside the five and into the end zone. Touchdown, Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: I messed up.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: They have four rushing touchdowns on the season. I forgot
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: about the Rico that started the game.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: That was a big one.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: His first as a Steeler.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: And from nine yards, impressive opening drive by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Impressive for Rico Dowdle. It kept a five-play 45-yard, and
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: they had the 7-0 lead. But Rico Dowdle coming on
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: these last few weeks, that's for sure a big part
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: of the Steeler offense and their success.
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's got the fresh legs and nice compliment
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: to Jalen Warren. I think we've We've probably moved away
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: from one-two punch as a nomenclature for those two, just
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: because it almost feels like it's diminishing Jalen Warren. I mean,
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: he himself has been a knockout punch. No second punch
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: has been needed for a lot of this season, as
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: long as Jalen Warren has been getting the ball. But
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: I think complimentary is probably a good way to put it.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: Jalen Warren also, to his credit, was asked about it
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: after the game, and I think he.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Pushed back a little bit on a word someone used
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: I think they called him Dowdle like his backup or
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: something and he's like I don't I don't really want
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: to think of him that way it's just we complement
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: each other so Jalen Warren's as humble as they come
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: always has been yeah handled the situation with playing behind
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: Najee Harris really well here it was someone asked him
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: uh how how Rico's done with more opportunities and Jalen
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: said I don't I don't think of it as a
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: change of pace. Either of us can go in and ball.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: That's nice.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: A change of pace back is kind of pejorative, too.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: Rico Dowdle is probably more than that.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Rico Dowdle finished the game with 56 yards rushing. I
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: meant to say this for the Muth No. 3 play
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: with the one-yard plunge.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Or whatever you want to call it, push, whatever, whatever
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: nickname you're going with.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: But it was important, Brian, because the 143 by Warren,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: and then you add Dowdle at 56 yards, and that
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: one yard by Muth got the Steelers to 200 yards
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: total rushing on Sunday.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: The 200 mark.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: If it wasn't for the Muth one-yard touchdown push, they
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: would have been at 199, because that's what Warren and
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Dowdle had together.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: For those keeping score at home.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Number one on our list is the big play to
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Darnell Washington that set up the big one-yard touchdown.
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: Washington motions right to left, and Rodgers will throw to
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: Darnell up the left sideline, and.
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: Here he goes, rumbling down the sideline and trying to
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: stay down, tiptoeing down inside the five all the way
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: down to the one-yard line.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: There's been a few times this year where Rob has
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: said tiptoeing Darnell Washington, which really cracks me up when
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: he tiptoes.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's almost antithetical to Darnell Washington. I think it's
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: impossible for someone of his stature to tiptoe, but it
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: speaks to his agility for a man of that size.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: His weight class, as people have kept saying.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: I think it was Aaron Rodgers who used that term,
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: and I think Mike Tomlin did too the other night
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: on Sunday Night Football about saying how special he is.
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: for someone in his weight class he's really one of
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: one although spencer anderson not far behind he's pretty pretty
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: light on his feet as well nimble too yeah we'll
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: see when he starts catching passes and tiptoeing down the
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: sideline he's.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Gone in motion listen if you want to go place
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: uh if you want to put a bet out there
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: for a second half of the season i would maybe
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: put spencer anderson in there to score a touchdown i'm
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: just saying you know on a throw on a throw
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: i'm talking about a reception yeah get him get him
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: open in the end zone he had one last didn't
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: he have a reception last year.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: He He did. He caught a pass early in the
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: game against the Packers, I think it was.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if my memory serves correct. So it could happen
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: in the second half of the season. Up next, Chris
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Adamski from Trib Live will be joining Double B and
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: myself to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers' first eight games
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: of the season.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: That's coming up next.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: He's back.

  Speaker 4: And we end the show with a.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: If you are a fan.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Of Steelers Nation Radio, we spent, what, about two and
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: a half weeks up in La Trobe each day.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: We were not in the hot sun, though.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: We were in the nice air-conditioned booth atop Chuck Knoll
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Field each and every day. And it was myself, Brian Bacco,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: and our next guest to close the show out today,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Chris Adamski. Chris, who you can also hear on Steelers
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Nation Radio, and if you have SiriusXM exclusively there on
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: the Steelers Rundown with myself each and every week.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Chris, how are you?
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Welcome into your first ever Steelers report.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: That's right. Oh, wow. Debut voyage.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: You made me realize that I always used to talk
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: about that was the life, watching practice from up there.
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: We were sitting down at the air conditioning. I say
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: it as a joke, but I'm 100% serious, too, that
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: I would be– Brian, I can speak for you. Maybe
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: you're in better shape than I am. Watching practice. You're
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: walking up and down in the hot sun for two
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: hours or so.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: And I'm just watching.
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: And, like, they're actually doing football activities, as they say. And, like,
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: I never feel so out of shape when I'm like, practice,
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: I'm like, ugh. And I lay down for a while.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, some of those hot, sunny days in Latrobe,
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: which we didn't have as many of this year, I
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: felt like.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: But, again, we wouldn't know because we were up in
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: the booth.
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: Now, I can just remember some days where sweat is
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: literally dripping and pouring off of my forehead onto my phone,
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: and I can't even tweet my amazing musings and observations anymore.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: From the practice that, like you said, I'm not participating in.
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: I'm merely watching from the sideline. But that's how much
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: of a sonnet it's been. The weather's been great lately, though,
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: here in the fall in Pittsburgh. I mean, just a
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: beautiful week here. The weather was not good in Paris
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: when Adamski and I were out there spending a lot
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: of quality time together, looking out at the Eiffel Tower
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: and just generally bonding.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Are you... Do you feel like you're fully recovered from
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: that trip? Because I actually felt like it hit me
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: last night a little bit. I got really tired around,
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: I don't know, two or three. I don't know if
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: it was a vestige of going overseas, but I needed
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: a coffee around four or five. And then, of course,
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: I overshot it and I was up past midnight. How
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: are you doing from the international travel effects?
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: I hadn't thought about it.
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: Ed brought this up when we did the rundown or before.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Maybe it was on the air or off the air.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know. But Ed brought it up to me earlier.
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: And I hadn't really thought about, but I have, I
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: get really, really tired at night the past week and
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: a half. And I guess that makes sense. I hadn't really,
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: that that's probably what it is. It's like, I am
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: just like, it's like nine 30 or 10. I'm like,
• 32:19
  Speaker 9: I need to go to bed. And I can't even like,
• 32:21
  Speaker 9: to struggle to stay. I'm trying to watch these Monday
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: night games, Sunday night games, and I'm like, I can't
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: make it through it. And it's not just because the
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: Commanders and the Eagles stink that why anybody would fall
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: asleep during that, maybe. But yeah, that's a good point.
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: And then twice we had to go through Daylight Savings, Brian.
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: Twice we had to lose an hour and go through that,
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: which it's an hour.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: No, we gained an hour.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: We gained an hour.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: So that's not really a sentence. That's more of a reward.
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Did we time travel, Brian?
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: We did.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: We got two extra hours in our life the past month.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: I feel like.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: We're back up doing this camp show.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: Where's Louie Lips?
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: We only need to bring Louie in, and.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: Then we'd be all set. No, you're right, though. We
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: got two extra hours. What did you do with your 2026?
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: You're going to look back at the end of this
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: year and be like, wow, that was the least productive
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: year of my life, considering I got to fall.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: Back twice in two weeks and yet still.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: Chris, let's pivot quickly.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: The save the rest of the Steelers report show for today.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Steelers at the bye week, six
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: and two, four game winning streak, offense clicking, defense clicking,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: a lot more arrows pointing up than down. You and
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I on our show that we do here on SNR
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: talked a lot about the wide receiver spot being probably
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: one of the only spots really that you can look
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: at on both sides of the ball that might need
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: addressed here going into the trade deadline and during this
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: bye week. But other than that, Most arrows are pointing up,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: and the Steelers are in a really good spot in
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: the AFC North.
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah, my narrative, if I had to look at the
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: season right now, is that they, you know, and I hate,
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: it sounds cliche a lot of times, and I think
• 33:52
  Speaker 9: way too storylines are too easy, the word narrative or whatever,
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: but the word, sorry, identity is what I'm getting at,
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: narrative identity. But I just look at these, especially these
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: past two games, and first I thought, I was a
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: little bit muted on thinking this because I thought the
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: Saints was the matchup thing and the Saints stunk against
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: the run and weren't very good running the ball.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: But when the Steelers shut.
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: Down, owned the trenches– there's so many clichés– in Paris,
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: I thought, like, wow, this team– and then they did
• 34:18
  Speaker 9: it again the next week. That's why early in that
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: Browns game, I'm like, ladies and gentlemen, the Steelers are–
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: they found out who they are. And I don't know–
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: and this is a credit to the coaching staff to
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: me because I think they adjusted. I don't think in
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: July and August and even early September– They thought they'd
• 34:33
  Speaker 9: be sitting here at the bye week saying, we are
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: a team that's going to dominate via the run and
• 34:38
  Speaker 9: stopping the run.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: But that's what they've been now.
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: It's been a large enough sample size against different teams
• 34:44
  Speaker 9: that I think that they've found this, and this is
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: their path, and this is how they're 6-2.
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: So you think the Steelers' offense, they're kind of like
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: a recent high school or college graduate who takes a
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: gap year and goes to travel abroad.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: And finds themselves. Yes. Is that a good analogy?
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: I'm going to steal this.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: All right. Go ahead. Go ahead.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: We've got two competitive writers battling it out here.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's correct. It's the least we can do for
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: you coming on the show. But no, I mean, I
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: also I don't know if this is what you were saying, Chris, but.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: It's kind of nails on a chalkboard to me when
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: I hear the identity thing because it always gets like
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: used as a way to prop up what you've been
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: doing if you're playing well and then it gets used
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: as like a not an excuse but more of a
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: an easy answer for when you're not playing well it's
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: like well we got to find our identity it's like
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: well maybe you just didn't play well maybe you didn't
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: call it well maybe you got out schemed so I
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: do bristle a little bit at that entire concept uh
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: but It is difficult to argue with the trend lately
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: for the Steelers, what they did against New Orleans, and
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: then doubled down on it against Cleveland. It sure feels
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: like they are leaning into that, but it is such
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: a week-to-week league. The nature of the NFL is you
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: put that on tape two consecutive games, and well, the
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: Bengals might be a bad example, but eventually one of
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: the teams that you play is going to see that
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: you put that on tape. Their defensive coordinator gets paid
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: a lot of money, too. They're going to figure out
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: a way to stop it, and you're going to need
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: to go to the counterpunch.
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: I just think it's like seeing the Bucs rush for
• 36:19
  Speaker 9: almost 300 yards. I know it was the rain and
• 36:20
  Speaker 9: everything else, but the Bucs, before the Steelers and after
• 36:24
  Speaker 9: the Steelers, again, identity, but ran the ball really well, right?
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: And the Steelers shut them down. I mean, I'm at
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: the Browns, but.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: And, you know, if there is a, if you were
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: a really.
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: Nitpick from the outside or want to be a Debbie Downers, well,
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: the Steelers, the four teams in this winning streak, three
• 36:41
  Speaker 9: losing teams in the Cleveland Browns, I get it. But
• 36:44
  Speaker 9: I used to see aspects that seemed to carry and
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: been sustainable. And, you know, the Jalen Warren thing, right?
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: And if he stays healthy, knock on wood. that aspect
• 36:54
  Speaker 9: of it seems to be sustainable. There's just a lot
• 36:57
  Speaker 9: of the front seven. And remember, this was without Derek Harmon,
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: who we thought, or at least on paper to a point,
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: your best run stopper in the whole team. And he
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: hasn't been there in this whole entire stretch. And I
• 37:08
  Speaker 9: went through the numbers with Ed on the rundown in
• 37:10
  Speaker 9: terms of, you know, what they've done the last four games,
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: which is half the season so far.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I guess it's a.
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: Small sample size, but it's not a tiny sample size.
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: It's a half of what's been played. the run defense
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: the running offense all these things are top scoring defense
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: all this is top throughout the season lead the league
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: or top three in the league in all these areas
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: and so i i do think there's reason again it's
• 37:33
  Speaker 9: a bashing day out too right so you're missing another
• 37:37
  Speaker 9: run stopper and i think that the inside linebackers the
• 37:40
  Speaker 9: guys that i it's funny i was telling ed another
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: thing i told ed that the Wilson queen pair, I
• 37:45
  Speaker 9: kept thinking that they're still meeting that bone. And finally
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: I kind of accepted, well, there's not, this is where
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: they are. I kind of got to that point. And
• 37:51
  Speaker 9: all of a sudden the last month they've been showing
• 37:53
  Speaker 9: that meeting the bone there. They're, they're munching on that
• 37:56
  Speaker 9: bone and take the analogy further.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: We're talking with Chris Adamski, where you can catch Chris's
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: excellent coverage of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Trib live each
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: and every day, or as he's, it likes to still
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: refer to it as the Pittsburgh Tribune review. I always
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: joke with that. Chris always mentions Pittsburgh. No, it's the
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Tribune review. It's just Trib now. Make sure you check
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: out Chris and his excellent coverage, along with Chris Harlan
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: there at Trib Live. Tim Benz, also part of your
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: team there, covering the Steelers on that side. Chris, let's
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense and how good they've
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: been against the run, especially during this four-game winning streak.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Really stacking up games. Patrick Graham has scheme.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: You mentioned the defensive line with both Harmon and Sebastian
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Day being out. Once they're back into the fold, I mean,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: I could just see this defense even getting better. They're
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: already right on the outside or right around that top
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: five defense in the NFL. Heck, they could be number
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: one by the end of the season.
• 38:48
  Speaker 9: Certainly trending in that direction. B. John Robinson, that was
• 38:53
  Speaker 9: their entire offense in week one against the Falcons, and
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: that wasn't a suffocating, but considering who the running back
• 39:00
  Speaker 9: is and how productive he's been since then and how
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: productive he's been throughout.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: His whole career, you'd take that effort. It was 83 yards.
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: I think it was. Jonathan Taylor, I know the Colts
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: right now are sort of a shell of a franchise
• 39:11
  Speaker 9: at the moment, I feel like, but at that point,
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: they were still a 2-2 team, and Jonathan Taylor's another
• 39:16
  Speaker 9: former NFL rushing champion. Again, with the Bucs, their identity
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: is running the ball. They keep going back to the
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: identity well. And, you know, the Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell.
• 39:29
  Speaker 9: and what they did 300 yards. You see them, again,
• 39:32
  Speaker 9: before and after the Steelers game, and the Steelers pretty
• 39:34
  Speaker 9: much shut them down there. I mean, the Saints aren't
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: a great rushing team, but when you hold them to, what,
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: less than one yard per carry, they're running back.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: 18 yards. Any NFL team should be able to run
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: it better than that.
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 39:46
  Speaker 9: So, What I'm saying is it's not just necessarily just
• 39:49
  Speaker 9: a matchup dependent. I feel like this is something that
• 39:51
  Speaker 9: will continue to transfer on. It is something that could
• 39:56
  Speaker 9: be sustainable here for the second. In the NFL, again, Brian,
• 40:00
  Speaker 9: Ed and I were talking on our show about looking at,
• 40:02
  Speaker 9: we feel like the seven teams in the AFC playoffs
• 40:05
  Speaker 9: are almost set, and it's hard to even envision one
• 40:07
  Speaker 9: of the other teams breaking that mold. But then it's
• 40:09
  Speaker 9: like the NFL and crazy things happen, and who knows,
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: all this talk a month from now will be totally different.
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and the Browns could go. bounce back from that loss.
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: Maybe that'll light a fire under them. I still do
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: think that they have some nice pieces. I don't want
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: to speak out of both sides of my mouth because
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: I think my official prediction at the end of our
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: show Friday, Ed, was that the Steelers would win, but
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: win in a close one by.
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: A field goal.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: We both felt that way.
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: And I projected as such.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Because I had some level of confidence in what Cleveland
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: was going to bring to the stadium. But as Jared
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: Verse pointed out multiple times, he didn't know who that
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: team was that showed up that presented themselves at Accresure Stadium.
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: That that actually that would have been a quote that
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: the perfect answer is the Browns is the Browns. But
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: obviously nobody from the Cleveland media contingent would do that.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: And all of us are too classy. So, yeah, I mean,
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: I think that this Steelers team, you know, you are
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: going to have to see more against the meat of
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: the schedule. It looks like the Broncos have become more
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: of what we thought they were going to be going
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: into this season. They lost, you know, a big player
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: to injury to the other day, Devon Hamilton. They're basically
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: their nose tackle. That's a major reason why they have
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: been so good against the run. So, yeah, I'm eager
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: to see how this Steelers team rolls with the punches
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: in the second half, because I think there's a lot
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: that gives you reason to believe they will get better
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: as the season progresses with all the veterans that they
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: have learning a new coaching staff and vice versa. But
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: with all the veterans that they have, you got to
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: make sure that these guys stay fresh throughout the second half.
• 41:40
  Speaker 6: You avoid hitting the wall or age setting in or
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: anything like that. So I guess it all just boils
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: down to the AFC appears to be crystallizing, but there's
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: still a long way to go.
• 41:53
  Speaker 9: And I do, you're right, injuries obviously affect a lot
• 41:55
  Speaker 9: of things, and that's why I'm pretty much running off
• 41:58
  Speaker 9: the Ravens. I was thinking why everybody else is running
• 41:59
  Speaker 9: off the Ravens right now if you're not doing undrafted.
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: I don't even know if he's undrafted. Joe Pignano. Yes,
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: there you go.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: The prodigal son has returned in Kings Lotus. Is he?
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: The prodigal son would return if Keaton Slovis, former Pitt.
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: Quarterback, starts for the Ravens or even plays for the
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: Ravens in a game at Accresure Stadium this season. But
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: we'll see if they get that far down the road
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: of their quarterback emergency.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: What a time to be alive if that happens.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: He signed to their practice squad, by the way.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: He signed to their practice. I thought they signed.
• 42:27
  Speaker 9: They're in trouble is what I'm saying quarterback-wise.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: And defensively, too. The Ravens are a mess.
• 42:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what– but see, in the Steelers, it's like–
• 42:36
  Speaker 9: part of you says oh are they had good injury
• 42:39
  Speaker 9: luck i don't know if they like they've what they're
• 42:41
  Speaker 9: six and two and i just mentioned two two your
• 42:43
  Speaker 9: rotation one starting defensive tackle another in your top four
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: or five defensive tackle and miss time i mean you
• 42:49
  Speaker 9: had a starting corner out for for a period of
• 42:52
  Speaker 9: time there and it's been in and out of the
• 42:54
  Speaker 9: lineup you're one of your starting state but i kind
• 42:56
  Speaker 9: of it's crazy brian because i was saying like the
• 42:59
  Speaker 9: stewards could withstand At cornerback right now, Daylon Evers is
• 43:03
  Speaker 9: kind of just hanging out. He's kind of there, available,
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: and I don't feel like there would be a big
• 43:08
  Speaker 9: necessarily drop-off if he had to play. At safety, right now,
• 43:11
  Speaker 9: Deshaun Elliott is kind of just hanging out as a reserve. So,
• 43:15
  Speaker 9: you know, you kind of feel like they've already withstood
• 43:18
  Speaker 9: and come out pretty well with two undrafted defensive tackles. Sorry,
• 43:22
  Speaker 9: one was six-round pick, the other was undrafted.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: Two rookie tackles.
• 43:25
  Speaker 9: Unheralded, I guess, to have a way to put it.
• 43:26
  Speaker 9: Maybe defensive tackles have been giving him snaps and giving
• 43:29
  Speaker 9: him good snaps where you haven't really noticed Derek freaking
• 43:33
  Speaker 9: Harmon hasn't played for four weeks, right? It's kind of
• 43:35
  Speaker 9: like we kind of forgot because it hasn't affected them.
• 43:38
  Speaker 9: And that's a compliment to the guys have stepped in
• 43:40
  Speaker 9: a compliment, you know, to the other, you know, the
• 43:42
  Speaker 9: Bentons in the world that have stepped up a little
• 43:44
  Speaker 9: bit too, to be able to absorb that loss. And,
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: you know, so I feel like they've already absorbed three
• 43:50
  Speaker 9: of their top five wide receivers being out for multiple
• 43:53
  Speaker 9: weeks now too. And that's something that again, you're winning games.
• 43:56
  Speaker 9: Now I know the passing attack needs to be better.
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: I think in a vertical big play sense to that,
• 44:01
  Speaker 9: to that degree, but in terms of they, what I'm
• 44:04
  Speaker 9: getting as the Steelers, they don't like the Steelers. I've
• 44:06
  Speaker 9: had this great injury luck to this point. They, I mean,
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: Donald missed a few games. That's, you know, there, there's
• 44:12
  Speaker 9: been things like that. I feel like they've, But, you know,
• 44:15
  Speaker 9: you know the other shoe's going to drop, and there'll
• 44:17
  Speaker 9: be somebody who goes out. If the NFL is pro football,
• 44:19
  Speaker 9: it's football. Something will happen in the second half, and
• 44:21
  Speaker 9: the Steelers, you know, I would see how positioned they
• 44:24
  Speaker 9: will to handle that.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: Chris Sadamsky, thank you so much for stepping in and
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: joining us. We'll have to do this again.
• 44:29

• 44:31
  Speaker 2: reunion from our La Trobe show for the three of us.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Well, it's only.
• 44:35
  Speaker 9: It's only, what, less than 10 months until next camp starts,
• 44:39
  Speaker 9: so we'll see what happens next time.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Hopefully the three of us can be reunited.
