- 1:58Speaker 1: to like one hundred high excited you right now?
- 2:00Speaker 3: But like this weekend one hundred and one. I got
- 2:03Speaker 3: one hundred and one. I know I'm a bit of
- 2:05Speaker 3: like the man behind the camera at this rate. You know,
- 2:07Speaker 3: I haven't had idios in real life, but obviously it's
- 2:10Speaker 3: it's gonna be happening this weekend and I'm just like
- 2:13Speaker 3: using both excited, not going out as far as Jimmy,
- 2:16Speaker 3: you know, he's got the stst up tg wattop. I'm
- 2:19Speaker 3: just going to my sort of old scooter of ju
- 2:21Speaker 3: Ju Smith Schuster number nineteen top. So that's that's what
- 2:25Speaker 3: ends on on And yeah, I'll just say, you know,
- 2:28Speaker 3: I've been buzzing into this night for a couple of
- 2:30Speaker 3: months now, and that's ever since it was announced, and
- 2:32Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be. It's gonna be a bit bizarre
- 2:35Speaker 3: film watching Steelers and crow Park, you know, on a
- 2:37Speaker 3: big screen with so many legends around as well, so
- 2:41Speaker 3: looking forward it and obviously I'll just say, you know,
- 2:43Speaker 3: the naxt few nature're gonna baby be it. That's leap.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Let's you know, thinking a bit, but yeah, here we are,
- 2:47Speaker 3: and then you know it's hard to be it, you know,
- 2:49Speaker 3: even watching you know the Steelers actually against the Browns
- 2:52Speaker 3: as well. To make it even better, So we'll talk
- 2:53Speaker 3: about that a bit more, but you can't wait.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll jump into that on the second because there's
- 2:58Speaker 1: so much to talk about and we'll get some feedback
- 3:00Speaker 1: from the latest game as well. There's so much talk
- 3:02Speaker 1: about this weekend and I'm getting excited even listening to
- 3:05Speaker 1: the boys right now, to be honest with it, but
- 3:06Speaker 1: let's say, I guess look, let's look at week ten.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Just first off, I was in Germany, so I literally
- 3:11Speaker 1: had to get up Monday morning watch the tap watch
- 3:15Speaker 1: as much as they could. But I will say one thing,
- 3:17Speaker 1: Jimmy like, the Steelers must be one of the best
- 3:20Speaker 1: teams that are represented in Europe. And didn't see it
- 3:24Speaker 1: as much last week at the Chiefs game, but there
- 3:26Speaker 1: was so much black and yellow at that Patriots game
- 3:29Speaker 1: on Sunday. Not that we're going to talk about that,
- 3:31Speaker 1: but it's just great to see some when he won
- 3:32Speaker 1: and you said, here we go have a bit of
- 3:35Speaker 1: crack of them, and they're all interragging and they were
- 3:37Speaker 1: like to recognize you from Ireland. They were talking. They
- 3:39Speaker 1: were talking about Steers coming to Ireland at this watch
- 3:41Speaker 1: party and stuff. So it's cool that it's going past
- 3:44Speaker 1: borders and a lot of English there as well that
- 3:47Speaker 1: were in Staters colors, and they're all very excited, slash
- 3:50Speaker 1: a little bit jealous. I don't in there, but they'll
- 3:52Speaker 1: be over for the watch party more importantly right now.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Great to meet so many people with Staters fans. But
- 3:58Speaker 1: I said last week Jimmy, because imagine whether they just
- 4:00Speaker 1: watched party section. That is exactly what beating the Pockats.
- 4:05Speaker 2: We dared to dream like we always dare to dream,
- 4:08Speaker 2: and look the Steelers turned out. I was just thinking
- 4:12Speaker 2: there earlier on the Steelers. They actually they play It
- 4:15Speaker 2: seems like they played for one for each other, that
- 4:17Speaker 2: they played like a team. You know, there's they never
- 4:20Speaker 2: really get down in themselves. There's no finger pointing, there's
- 4:23Speaker 2: no arguing on the sideline. They really came together strongly
- 4:26Speaker 2: there over the weekend. Overcame adversity and I would like
- 4:31Speaker 2: it wasn't the highest scoring game, but there's a lot
- 4:34Speaker 2: of positives to take from it. A second second game
- 4:36Speaker 2: in a row where there was an interception to seal
- 4:39Speaker 2: the game in the dying moments, we finally got the
- 4:41Speaker 2: run game going. There was there was several standout performances
- 4:46Speaker 2: and Jayalen Warren had one hundred and one yards rushing
- 4:49Speaker 2: his first ever one hundred yard game as well. So
- 4:52Speaker 2: I mean we'll take it. We'll take it and run
- 4:55Speaker 2: second in the AFC North, fifth in the AC overall.
- 4:57Speaker 2: I think at this stage of the season, you couldn't
- 4:59Speaker 2: really ask for any better the way things have been going.
- 5:04Speaker 1: And it's funny because you'd be very vocal about gel
- 5:06Speaker 1: and Warren, not about Nazi Harrison his running back room
- 5:08Speaker 1: from the middle. We started this podcast, I remember sitting
- 5:11Speaker 1: in the Limerick at the Flag Champanships watching the preseason
- 5:13Speaker 1: and I, however, you were talking about how you really
- 5:16Speaker 1: believe he was going to have that breakout year with PFF.
- 5:19Speaker 1: This week, he was the highest graded Steelers offensive player
- 5:22Speaker 1: for back to back weeks. He's making obviously in terms
- 5:25Speaker 1: of his yards, but he's making so much more.
- 5:27Speaker 2: With him back in this team. Jimmy dynamic player. He's
- 5:31Speaker 2: such a dynamic player, Mike. I mean, you see he's
- 5:33Speaker 2: effective in the past game as a pass catcher. He's
- 5:36Speaker 2: such an explosive runner. He puts his foot in the
- 5:38Speaker 2: ground that he's gone, but he's able to zig zag
- 5:41Speaker 2: and he has a little bit of a spark to him.
- 5:43Speaker 2: As well, and he's just I mean, the Steelers are
- 5:45Speaker 2: blessed now to have a one to two point you're
- 5:47Speaker 2: running back. You have Nagie Harris, the big, strong, physical runner,
- 5:51Speaker 2: and then you have a bit of a change up
- 5:52Speaker 2: back in Jaleen Warren as well. So I'm loving that
- 5:55Speaker 2: long may continue. You know, we can say that we
- 5:59Speaker 2: have two arguably too with the best running backs in
- 6:02Speaker 2: the league at the minute, and they both got on
- 6:04Speaker 2: the board and Sunday and put yards up. So yeah, look,
- 6:07Speaker 2: let's let's keep it rolling.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Keep it rolling going into the game against Cleveland. We'll
- 6:12Speaker 1: talk about in the week, but first off, we were
- 6:16Speaker 1: sort of briefly shotting in that WhatsApp group that we
- 6:18Speaker 1: have at the moments of fun group. Folks, I'm not
- 6:20Speaker 1: gonna lie about this game. You seem like you were
- 6:23Speaker 1: on the edge of your see for this whole game
- 6:25Speaker 1: of Steels. Keep us sweating on you each week here
- 6:28Speaker 1: wins a win, take the win run for the Hills.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Do weally think it's gonna matter come the end of
- 6:32Speaker 1: the year. Is that record and be aber one?
- 6:34Speaker 3: No, as you say like it, it's not easy being
- 6:37Speaker 3: a Steeler saw because you know they do put a
- 6:39Speaker 3: bit of pressure on your heart leg But and I'll
- 6:42Speaker 3: just say, you know, we mentioned in the podcast last week, Mike,
- 6:45Speaker 3: we do sort of tend to let teams next through
- 6:48Speaker 3: the back door a little bit, and we never seem
- 6:50Speaker 3: to have this clinical touch that will left us finish
- 6:52Speaker 3: off an opponent. But at the same time, it shows
- 6:55Speaker 3: as well that we can win and be so called
- 6:57Speaker 3: dog fights with the scoring is very low and the
- 6:59Speaker 3: pressure on the fourth quarter. Albeit you know this this
- 7:02Speaker 3: week we weren't it was actually the first off or
- 7:04Speaker 3: we sort of we got seventeen points in the first half.
- 7:06Speaker 3: I mean, when was the last time that was happening.
- 7:09Speaker 3: But at the same time, it does it It shows
- 7:11Speaker 3: that we can actually stick in with opponents and if
- 7:13Speaker 3: a push comes to shove, that defense is ready to
- 7:15Speaker 3: step up, just like in the last drive, you know
- 7:18Speaker 3: they I was sort of thinking when when or when
- 7:20Speaker 3: Jordan Love managed to connect with receiver down the line,
- 7:23Speaker 3: and I was thinking, oh God, is this the moment
- 7:24Speaker 3: where we're going to maybe not going to come up
- 7:26Speaker 3: with it. But at the same time, Popard Peterson, he
- 7:28Speaker 3: came out and clutched with that and their set. He
- 7:31Speaker 3: bottled it down, you know, with proven his as clutch play.
- 7:33Speaker 3: At at the same time, you know, in the offense,
- 7:35Speaker 3: as Jimmy was saying, you know, jail Warners had his
- 7:38Speaker 3: first hundred yard receiving game, and it's hard to believe.
- 7:40Speaker 3: The start of the year we were sort of not
- 7:42Speaker 3: cursing out the running game, but at the midte this
- 7:44Speaker 3: looking like our easily our our biggest strength. So as
- 7:47Speaker 3: I say, you know, this this two headed monster that
- 7:50Speaker 3: that Jimmy's matching, I'll say, you know, he was very
- 7:52Speaker 3: high in Jail Warned the start of the year, and
- 7:54Speaker 3: I was I was a bit like, let's let's pump
- 7:56Speaker 3: the race on it a bit, but you know what,
- 7:58Speaker 3: he's proven. The guy mentioning on the podcast a couple
- 8:00Speaker 3: of weeks here with Camp very much like Austin Eckler,
- 8:03Speaker 3: you know how he runs and how like I think
- 8:05Speaker 3: he had a run at one point where you couldn't
- 8:08Speaker 3: really see, but by the time, by the time he'd
- 8:10Speaker 3: like you could be even be brought down, he had
- 8:12Speaker 3: like a twenty yard game and it was like it
- 8:14Speaker 3: was it was just crazy to see. So just watching
- 8:17Speaker 3: the game back, you know, we do sort of tend
- 8:19Speaker 3: to let teams come in a bit, but at the
- 8:20Speaker 3: same time it's going to cause us a bit of
- 8:24Speaker 3: hardiness coming in the second part of the season. So
- 8:26Speaker 3: six and three, who would have thought and yeah, it's
- 8:30Speaker 3: it's horrid, believe and ended up going to the watch party.
- 8:32Speaker 3: You know, we're overwheled over five hundred and it's horribly
- 8:35Speaker 3: from a couple of weeks ago saying.
- 8:36Speaker 1: That, you know, I feel like we should have got
- 8:38Speaker 1: like a bus or something and then picked Jimmy up
- 8:41Speaker 1: and draw how that just here, Jimmy quickly like, let's
- 8:46Speaker 1: let's talk with the defense. Defense on Sunday allowed the
- 8:49Speaker 1: Packers to go for ten of sixteen opportunities and third
- 8:53Speaker 1: eight for sixteen and third dying two of two and
- 8:55Speaker 1: fourth dome.
- 8:56Speaker 2: TJ.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Watt will hear from in the second saying that the
- 8:59Speaker 1: defense needs to get off the field quicker. They were
- 9:02Speaker 1: on the field for too long as far as he's concerned,
- 9:04Speaker 1: high expectations from a pretty high part off pretty high
- 9:07Speaker 1: part of defense still has to improve those spacially going
- 9:10Speaker 1: against Cleveland this week when Cleveland really put the margaret
- 9:14Speaker 1: on coming back in the way that they did.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the defense has played at such a
- 9:19Speaker 2: high level Michael that we've come to expect near perfection
- 9:21Speaker 2: from them, but we have to remember we're missing a
- 9:24Speaker 2: couple of key players. I mean, we'll make it if
- 9:27Speaker 2: Fitzpatrick missing for the second week. His presence lack of
- 9:31Speaker 2: presence was definitely felt on the back end. I think
- 9:34Speaker 2: where we gave up a couple of big touchdown touched
- 9:37Speaker 2: passes and touchdowns that we should necessarily shouldn't have necessarily
- 9:41Speaker 2: given up. I mean, we still have two interceptions and
- 9:44Speaker 2: I think a couple of sacks so that the splash
- 9:46Speaker 2: players were still there. We just gave the receivers too
- 9:49Speaker 2: much space, I feel, I mean, and that came down
- 9:51Speaker 2: to some possibly some inexperienced players filling in. I have
- 9:56Speaker 2: to say that Keannon Benton won an absolutely b came
- 9:59Speaker 2: in rookie late mid midle eight draft pick and played
- 10:04Speaker 2: like he like he'd been on the defensive line for years.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Absolutely stuff in the run, playing like an animal. So
- 10:10Speaker 2: I mean, there's definitely positives to take away. And we
- 10:14Speaker 2: only allowed nineteen points, so I mean, it wasn't It
- 10:17Speaker 2: was far from perfect, but the the same as always,
- 10:21Speaker 2: the defense put the team on its back and and
- 10:24Speaker 2: grand out the win and the only concern now is
- 10:27Speaker 2: the lack of depth that inside linebacker. Obviously we were
- 10:30Speaker 2: down Cole hocum our our signal Coller kwan Alexander Soff
- 10:34Speaker 2: for the torn a cl or might have been his accurate.
- 10:38Speaker 1: It's like the most dominant injury in the league seasons. Ridiculous,
- 10:41Speaker 1: isn't it.
- 10:42Speaker 2: So we're down now to our to essentially our third
- 10:45Speaker 2: string inside linebacker, So going to need to sign some
- 10:48Speaker 2: cover there, hopefully during the week. And he just hoping
- 10:52Speaker 2: that these injuries don't come back to haunt us down
- 10:56Speaker 2: the stretch and hopefully, hopefully mink It can get get
- 10:58Speaker 2: healthy and get back on the field sooner than made
- 11:01Speaker 2: as well.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously our thoughts are with the guys that are injured,
- 11:06Speaker 1: especially Kwanner down the street out of the season and
- 11:09Speaker 1: Dave Wilder was that initial happiness with the win and
- 11:12Speaker 1: you're and you're always buzzing when you win a game
- 11:14Speaker 1: gotten the Sea Kwana Whites, Cameron Howard saying, where you
- 11:18Speaker 1: don't get excited at six and flee in the season,
- 11:20Speaker 1: I'm excited?
- 11:21Speaker 3: Are you excited?
- 11:22Speaker 1: Should we? Should we come the brakes o it here?
- 11:23Speaker 1: I think we've got to keep going man, gotta keep going.
- 11:26Speaker 1: We're gonna We're not gonna lose any games there. We're
- 11:28Speaker 1: gonna go seven flee this week.
- 11:30Speaker 3: No destly, you know, cham Heyward obviously knows a lot
- 11:34Speaker 3: more than us, you know, in terms of like being
- 11:35Speaker 3: six and three. But at the same time, you have
- 11:37Speaker 3: to sort of forgive our optimism a bit. You know,
- 11:39Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, you know, this offense in particular,
- 11:42Speaker 3: was getting swayed in the press, and it was just
- 11:45Speaker 3: you know, a lot of people didn't believe in us.
- 11:46Speaker 3: So although I sort of agree with them, right, we're
- 11:49Speaker 3: only half well over halfway through the season. It's hard
- 11:52Speaker 3: to believe he even said that. But un there's still
- 11:54Speaker 3: a long way to go. But like look at the
- 11:56Speaker 3: AIRC North. I mean, with the Bengals losing yesterday, the
- 11:59Speaker 3: Browns be the Ravens. This record, it's it's very important
- 12:03Speaker 3: at this rate. And then you know, it's just ready
- 12:06Speaker 3: we have to obviously step up next week against the Browns,
- 12:08Speaker 3: and you know, if we win next week, then obviously
- 12:10Speaker 3: we're we could has to be top of the division.
- 12:12Speaker 3: Who would have thought that as well? So I do
- 12:14Speaker 3: sort of agree with him, Yeah, fair enough, We maybe
- 12:17Speaker 3: have or maybe a bit two over excited, But at
- 12:19Speaker 3: the same time six and three, with the schedule we've
- 12:23Speaker 3: had and the games are up and common, it has
- 12:27Speaker 3: to be taken. And I said a couple of weeks tho,
- 12:28Speaker 3: with this run of home games, we had to at
- 12:30Speaker 3: least come out too and one, of course, we lost
- 12:32Speaker 3: the Jags, but at the same time we've come out
- 12:34Speaker 3: to and one and that's all the mother so on
- 12:36Speaker 3: operas and all where that.
- 12:37Speaker 2: I've said, I'm going to make a bold prediction here,
- 12:40Speaker 2: and I hope this doesn't come back that not me.
- 12:42Speaker 2: It's going to be an AC nor team in the
- 12:44Speaker 2: AC Championship game in January, and I think it's going
- 12:47Speaker 2: to be the Steelers. I think if now, I know
- 12:51Speaker 2: there's a lot of things going against us in terms
- 12:53Speaker 2: of key players, and you know, we finally get the
- 12:56Speaker 2: run game going there, the pass game is open up.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Deonta Johnson was unfortunate to have more more catches and
- 13:02Speaker 2: one of the first passes down the field should have
- 13:04Speaker 2: been a touchdown. I think he was held a little
- 13:06Speaker 2: bit well, we want to say adding about that, but yeah,
- 13:10Speaker 2: ANC North represented in the in the the AFC Championship game.
- 13:14Speaker 1: You heard it here first dishes little but how to
- 13:17Speaker 1: say for me and Jimmy were definitely in Vegas the
- 13:19Speaker 1: week after That's so you would hope, you would hope,
- 13:22Speaker 1: And I have to say I agree in this sounds
- 13:25Speaker 1: of the FC or I think it's just such a
- 13:26Speaker 1: good division. We'll talk about it'll be sacking the terms,
- 13:29Speaker 1: not just some nim ferries in that as well. Before
- 13:31Speaker 1: we get the is reaction to that big bull production,
- 13:33Speaker 1: let's here from Mike tomlin Furst the obsolutely against.
- 13:36Speaker 4: Focus, you know, just another type all game man. I'm
- 13:40Speaker 4: really just appreciative of the mindset of our group.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Man.
- 13:43Speaker 4: They just they want to make the significant plays and
- 13:46Speaker 4: the significant moments. And it's a good thing because these
- 13:49Speaker 4: games are always tight. Let's talk about why it was tight.
- 13:54Speaker 4: We lost some significant possession downs early in the game,
- 13:58Speaker 4: a couple of third downs. They not only converted them,
- 14:01Speaker 4: but they turned them into scores. Those two touchdowns in
- 14:04Speaker 4: the first half. We got to be able to win
- 14:06Speaker 4: those downs and fight for those those four points, make
- 14:10Speaker 4: people settle for field goals. We weren't able to do it,
- 14:13Speaker 4: and so the game got tight. We we had to
- 14:16Speaker 4: settle for a few field goals some uh, they played
- 14:20Speaker 4: on the back of those two touchdown opportunities, and so
- 14:24Speaker 4: it was game on from there. But really appreciative of
- 14:28Speaker 4: the effort. I thought bigs upfront on offense did a
- 14:32Speaker 4: really good job of kind of controlling it. I thought
- 14:35Speaker 4: we were able to run the ball effectively and and
- 14:38Speaker 4: and that's a good posture to play from. We made
- 14:42Speaker 4: the necessary splash plays on defense and the waning moments, man,
- 14:46Speaker 4: when they got somewhat one dimensional, they do a really
- 14:50Speaker 4: good job man, and kind of keeping you off balanced
- 14:52Speaker 4: schematically and you know, minimizing their young quarterbacks exposure to
- 14:56Speaker 4: a to a defense. But later in the game, man,
- 14:59Speaker 4: when it gets a little bit thick, I thought we
- 15:01Speaker 4: would have our opportunities, and we did, and we made them,
- 15:05Speaker 4: and so excited about that. Bumps and bruises associated with play.
- 15:10Speaker 4: Pierce Kwan Alexander has a has a serious lower body injury.
- 15:14Speaker 4: He's being evaluated but but not promising there. Deontay Johnson
- 15:20Speaker 4: had a thumb I was able to finish. Ken O'Neill
- 15:24Speaker 4: had had a rib injury of some description, and I
- 15:30Speaker 4: think we had trending there at the end of the
- 15:31Speaker 4: game for him and so you know, we got assessed
- 15:35Speaker 4: who's available to us and put together a good plan.
- 15:38Speaker 4: We won't make excuses about about who we have available
- 15:42Speaker 4: who we don't will we got an appropriate amount of
- 15:45Speaker 4: time to prepare. We're going on a divisional road game.
- 15:48Speaker 4: And so you know what that means. Uh in the
- 15:50Speaker 4: North has our attention?
- 15:53Speaker 1: Coach Stalblin Allan, Like it is a dif AFC championship.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Would you fly to Pittsburgh?
- 16:02Speaker 3: I want to slide of Pittsburgh. I would swim to
- 16:04Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and the f C Championship. I'll walk, I might,
- 16:07Speaker 3: I might last very long, but I'd certainly walk. You
- 16:11Speaker 3: know What's Yeah, it's that's as bold as you call.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Like.
- 16:14Speaker 3: I mean, you could go to staff further and say,
- 16:17Speaker 3: you know, forget about the FC Championship, We're gonna get
- 16:19Speaker 3: to the super Bowl. But it's it's it's a good prediction.
- 16:22Speaker 3: And you know, as a lot, you know you messed
- 16:24Speaker 3: with an FC North team. I hope that's the Steelers.
- 16:27Speaker 3: You know, I don't want to see the Bengals and
- 16:28Speaker 3: another FC championship game. I don't want to see the
- 16:31Speaker 3: Ravens and another FC championship game. And I certainly do
- 16:34Speaker 3: not want to see the Cleveland Browns and an FC
- 16:35Speaker 3: championship game. If we've ever gotten there, I don't know,
- 16:38Speaker 3: but no, no, honestly, it's it's it's one of those
- 16:41Speaker 3: where you know, we we still have a long way
- 16:44Speaker 3: to go, you know. On the offensive side, you know,
- 16:46Speaker 3: Kenny Peckett over the past couple of weeks maybe hasn't
- 16:49Speaker 3: been as great South, although you know we call them
- 16:51Speaker 3: fourth quarter Jenny. Hopefully from going forward he's going to
- 16:54Speaker 3: prove that's true. But you know it's Jimmy is the
- 16:58Speaker 3: boldest guy on this on this podcast, and I'm glad,
- 17:00Speaker 3: you know what, he's a bet of our protector. He
- 17:02Speaker 3: was right about Jayalen Morn and he's got to be
- 17:04Speaker 3: rid of.
- 17:04Speaker 2: But that one. Hopefully you'll be with us sometimes sometimes
- 17:08Speaker 2: I know what I'm talking about, Dave. It doesn't happen
- 17:10Speaker 2: very often when I'm when I'm right, I'm right.
- 17:13Speaker 1: You get this, Ran, I'll love you forever. Let's put
- 17:16Speaker 1: it that way and keep the podcast going. The February boys,
- 17:19Speaker 1: and let's hear from TJ. Watt and Kenny Picket before
- 17:22Speaker 1: we look ahead to one of the biggest weekends ever
- 17:26Speaker 1: on this item or this support. We're so excited bigolick.
- 17:31Speaker 5: You guys were running into a lot of heavy boxes
- 17:33Speaker 5: in the second half. Just that much confidence in the
- 17:35Speaker 5: ground game.
- 17:36Speaker 6: Yeah, we're getting you know, you know, pretty good yards
- 17:40Speaker 6: per carry, even when they were decided to do that.
- 17:42Speaker 6: So some of the play action things we did off
- 17:44Speaker 6: it was good early. Give us a chance to have
- 17:46Speaker 6: some one on one shots too. With George and Tay
- 17:48Speaker 6: down the field. I wish we hit on a couple more,
- 17:51Speaker 6: would have been some more explosive plays for us, But overall,
- 17:53Speaker 6: the way we were running the ball, but you know,
- 17:55Speaker 6: we felt like we had a lot of confidence in.
- 17:57Speaker 1: That led to that running game kind of carry from
- 18:00Speaker 1: last week.
- 18:01Speaker 6: I think some continuity with the guys up front getting
- 18:03Speaker 6: a chance to have some more reps together, you know,
- 18:05Speaker 6: having a positive game, have another opportunity to stack another
- 18:08Speaker 6: positive game, which they did and twenty two and thirty
- 18:11Speaker 6: ran great. So, you know, I think it was a
- 18:13Speaker 6: kind of mix of the line and the backs getting
- 18:15Speaker 6: a good rhythm.
- 18:16Speaker 7: You were able to hit on more of those downfieldas.
- 18:19Speaker 2: We had opportunities.
- 18:20Speaker 6: We just didn't you know, we didn't connect on them.
- 18:22Speaker 6: You know how the one down the left side of
- 18:24Speaker 6: Tay had a good back shoulder of George. Was really
- 18:26Speaker 6: good play for us. You know, just wish we had
- 18:29Speaker 6: some more opportunities to do so, but you know, we
- 18:31Speaker 6: got the win, which is the most important thing. Did
- 18:34Speaker 6: you get a look at all at the bental, Leon Austin,
- 18:38Speaker 6: I saw the replay in the end game. You have
- 18:40Speaker 6: to flip to the next play quick. You know, it's
- 18:43Speaker 6: it's tight in that situation. I think it's tight, but
- 18:46Speaker 6: you know is what it is.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Alright?
- 18:49Speaker 5: Left, when you see the offense putting together three straight
- 18:53Speaker 5: scoring drive starting fast like that, what does that do
- 18:55Speaker 5: for you guys?
- 18:56Speaker 2: Oh, it's huge?
- 18:57Speaker 7: Uh, I think it's It's always good to see the
- 18:59Speaker 7: offense putting points and sustaining long drives, being able to
- 19:02Speaker 7: have us sit over there on the bench. We talked
- 19:04Speaker 7: about all the great defense that spend a lot of
- 19:05Speaker 7: time on the bench, and it felt like I think
- 19:07Speaker 7: the first half was only like twenty two twenty six
- 19:09Speaker 7: something plays in the twenties, and this year it feels
- 19:12Speaker 7: like that's been the amount of plays we played in
- 19:14Speaker 7: just a quarter alone. So very pleased with that, but
- 19:19Speaker 7: we need more three and ounces of defense. It's something
- 19:21Speaker 7: we've been emphasizing and something we need to continue to
- 19:24Speaker 7: get better at.
- 19:25Speaker 5: Started the game, led us two starters, we lost two
- 19:28Speaker 5: more as the game went on. What was your level
- 19:32Speaker 5: of confidence in the group at the end of the game.
- 19:34Speaker 2: That well, huge.
- 19:36Speaker 7: I mean being able to walk away with the win
- 19:38Speaker 7: is huge.
- 19:38Speaker 2: And we know it sucks when guys go down.
- 19:42Speaker 7: But like I've said since the beginning, is everybody in
- 19:45Speaker 7: here practice every week, everybody's in the same meetings, everybody
- 19:48Speaker 7: knows what the standard is. It's all about stepping up
- 19:50Speaker 7: in those moments. We don't have time to sit around
- 19:53Speaker 7: and soulk while we have a football game going on.
- 19:55Speaker 7: We just need to take it and stride. And I
- 19:57Speaker 7: feel like we did a good job of that today.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Nice specifically with a land that noticed for him today
- 20:03Speaker 2: or since you've been his team in this year? What
- 20:06Speaker 2: are you What are you asking what Landa Roberts has
- 20:09Speaker 2: brought to your group? And yeah, everything together today.
- 20:13Speaker 7: He's got he's just got a steady voice inside. He's
- 20:16Speaker 7: never too high, never too low, very confident player. He's
- 20:20Speaker 7: gonna get us lined up exactly how we need to.
- 20:22Speaker 7: And that's all we really need is a defense. We
- 20:25Speaker 7: just need to be on the same page. And he's
- 20:27Speaker 7: a guy that's been able to do that since he's
- 20:28Speaker 7: been here, true professional, and he's making some good plays
- 20:31Speaker 7: for us as well.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Okay, t J wat Kenny pick it off to the
- 20:35Speaker 1: big win against the fream deck Pakers and Pokers who
- 20:39Speaker 1: won last week losing to Pittsburgh.
- 20:41Speaker 2: A big win for the Steaders going second.
- 20:43Speaker 1: In the season. And while we do obviously always have
- 20:46Speaker 1: sort of sort of boundaries where you hit open dyeing times,
- 20:49Speaker 1: the staters I've got in the Dublin this weekend over
- 20:54Speaker 1: five hundred sexts in the season and though they're up
- 20:56Speaker 1: playing in Dublin Jans. There is a watch party, the
- 20:59Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steers Party in the Hogan Suite, the iconic Hogan
- 21:02Speaker 1: Suite in Krook Park Stadium this Sunday starts at four pm,
- 21:06Speaker 1: the game at six o'clock Ireland time. And we're really excited, could.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Not be could not be more excited being being dreaming
- 21:15Speaker 2: of this coming weekend since it was first announced. It's
- 21:19Speaker 2: going to be absolutely great just to bring all the
- 21:20Speaker 2: Steelers Nation and you know a large portion of the
- 21:23Speaker 2: of the wider NFL community together in Dublin on such
- 21:27Speaker 2: a large scale. I mean it's it's a historic event
- 21:30Speaker 2: for the sport on the Ireland and it lays down
- 21:32Speaker 2: a marker for how for how far the sport in
- 21:34Speaker 2: general has come. I mean, I've been banging the drum
- 21:37Speaker 2: of American football in Ireland for I don't know how
- 21:39Speaker 2: long now, and I could have never envisioned something like
- 21:43Speaker 2: this happening. So the fact that it's the Steelers is
- 21:46Speaker 2: just an added bonus. It's going to be such a
- 21:49Speaker 2: good night and such good crack deal.
- 21:53Speaker 1: I'll bring in the Zag and Jimmy, like you're talking
- 21:54Speaker 1: about banging the drama. I mean, you look at and
- 21:58Speaker 1: this is for people listening to this blog, maybe not
- 22:00Speaker 1: just from Ireland, and maybe you're not a Steelers fan
- 22:02Speaker 1: as your first team, but you've adopted them. This is
- 22:05Speaker 1: a big moment. The NFL came to Dublin and also
- 22:07Speaker 1: Belfast for live events up to five six years ago,
- 22:11Speaker 1: and we've seen guys like Alex Collins Rest in peace.
- 22:14Speaker 1: He was there and Earl Thomas j Jai was there.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Just it was it was a great night and there
- 22:20Speaker 1: was a lot of people there. This is different. This
- 22:22Speaker 1: is the first time a team has marketed itself at
- 22:24Speaker 1: the country and Jimmy, just just to look at the journey,
- 22:27Speaker 1: you know, the Steelers announced the partnership or the marketing
- 22:31Speaker 1: strategic option in med this year and it just goes
- 22:35Speaker 1: from there. We've got games and off the ball, we've.
- 22:37Speaker 2: Got games on the radio.
- 22:39Speaker 1: We had the preseason games, gaging the Steelers obviously really
- 22:42Speaker 1: committing themselves to this market and this is I'm sure
- 22:46Speaker 1: the first of many things that are going to have
- 22:48Speaker 1: in this market, with the eventual hope that it just
- 22:51Speaker 1: keeps growing and growing and growing. And to have hundreds
- 22:54Speaker 1: of people watching Steelers in Ireland in a stadium that
- 22:59Speaker 1: is so close to I know all of us lots.
- 23:01Speaker 1: It's it's our national stadium. It's it's a huge deal
- 23:05Speaker 1: and people will be watching around Ireland, around the UK,
- 23:09Speaker 1: around the world this weekend for such a big game
- 23:13Speaker 1: house and nerves Jim.
- 23:16Speaker 2: Well, obviously, I hope that the Steelers get to win.
- 23:18Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a tougher test than the Packers.
- 23:22Speaker 2: The Packers was, but I think like it's gonna be
- 23:26Speaker 2: such an atmosphere there. We're all going to be cheering
- 23:28Speaker 2: them on from Dublin. But I think I think it
- 23:30Speaker 2: could get. It could get tens of times if the
- 23:32Speaker 2: Steelers don't perform the way we we hope they will.
- 23:36Speaker 2: But it's gonna be like it's just a fantastic atmosphere,
- 23:40Speaker 2: like just just even getting to be among fans, Mike
- 23:42Speaker 2: and watch you know, I mean, we all were all
- 23:44Speaker 2: there for a common reason, right, we all love this sport,
- 23:47Speaker 2: we all love this game. We all love the Steelers,
- 23:49Speaker 2: but most of us love the Steelers. So it's just
- 23:52Speaker 2: going to be And like you said, it's it's the
- 23:55Speaker 2: first of many. And I think the sport of American
- 23:57Speaker 2: football in Ireland is just going to go from strength
- 24:00Speaker 2: to strength with with the with the injured, with the
- 24:03Speaker 2: the addition of this this event, and I think it's
- 24:05Speaker 2: going to lay a marker for future events.
- 24:09Speaker 1: And they have just to sort of go forward. And
- 24:12Speaker 1: what Jimmy said, like we'll not go in the ever
- 24:14Speaker 1: hind and terms of what the Stedlers are doing, but
- 24:16Speaker 1: they're doing multiple things this weekend. You'll see a lot
- 24:18Speaker 1: of that stuff on on social media this weekend, but
- 24:20Speaker 1: the main thing is is the watch party. How did
- 24:23Speaker 1: you feel when you find out that Alan Fallaga and
- 24:25Speaker 1: Antonio homes are coming over. Jimmy, don't worry, I'll get
- 24:27Speaker 1: your falls in the second.
- 24:28Speaker 6: But I was.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Well, I heard Antonio Holmes went, my god. But it
- 24:33Speaker 1: shows you not just the excitement levels, but the commitment
- 24:36Speaker 1: to the market that is sensational because we have seen
- 24:39Speaker 1: and but for example, the Jets have got a party
- 24:41Speaker 1: in Manchester next weekend. The Bears have got a huge
- 24:43Speaker 1: party in Madrid this weekend. I think that's the biggest
- 24:47Speaker 1: ever I've seen outside of like the Steelers.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Of Mexico in Europe.
- 24:51Speaker 1: It's one of the biggest, and it's going to be
- 24:53Speaker 1: something to remember to see Santonio and Alan. It's going
- 24:55Speaker 1: to be special for anyone. If you're a Sailors fan
- 24:58Speaker 1: or at adop the fan this Sunday.
- 25:01Speaker 2: You know, you're you're just right having those two legends.
- 25:03Speaker 3: You know, as you say in our National Stadium watching
- 25:06Speaker 3: the Steelers, I mean a year ago, if you had
- 25:09Speaker 3: to say that out loud, it's just you know, someone
- 25:11Speaker 3: would have, you know, said what are you what are
- 25:13Speaker 3: you talking about?
- 25:14Speaker 6: Like?
- 25:14Speaker 3: But at the same time, it's it's just really shows
- 25:16Speaker 3: you how far we've come. I was gonna I was
- 25:18Speaker 3: gonna say, Michael, it's a culmination. Obviously there's still a
- 25:21Speaker 3: lot of work to do, of course, like it's but
- 25:23Speaker 3: it's a massive moment, not just for State R Steelers songs.
- 25:27Speaker 3: But I just says, then, as Jimmy said, NFL songs
- 25:29Speaker 3: on the Island, I think we're not just gonna see
- 25:32Speaker 3: Steeler jerseys on Sunday. We'll probably see a few you know,
- 25:35Speaker 3: browns who knows, maybe sneaking in. But at the same time,
- 25:38Speaker 3: you know, it's it's a it's a massive moment. And
- 25:40Speaker 3: to have Antonio Holmes and and Alan Finesco over, it's
- 25:43Speaker 3: just it's a blessing and what it can say actually
- 25:47Speaker 3: honestly a count Wait, it's been something we've all marked
- 25:49Speaker 3: on our calendar for the past couple of months, and
- 25:51Speaker 3: it's just finally it'd be great to be sitting down,
- 25:54Speaker 3: maybe getting a few a few paints and watching the
- 25:56Speaker 3: Steelers and crow barking again even saying an outlider, it
- 25:59Speaker 3: doesn't feel right, but it's happening.
- 26:01Speaker 2: And you know, all I can say is here we go.
- 26:04Speaker 1: And Jimmy like, tickets sold out in minutes a couple
- 26:07Speaker 1: of months ago, and I remember sitting that morning going, Wow,
- 26:10Speaker 1: it's sold out. Incredible. They bring a very limited to
- 26:13Speaker 1: actually tickets a couple of A few days ago, I
- 26:16Speaker 1: tried to add a couple of the basket so would
- 26:18Speaker 1: give them away for some fans that really want them.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Because the dms are going nuts. People are trying to
- 26:22Speaker 1: get tickets with they can't get the It shows you
- 26:24Speaker 1: how how highly modeled this is. And I dropped the
- 26:28Speaker 1: text abot Alan fan, you boys want be wasn't like
- 26:30Speaker 1: Antonio homes Like, yeahs wasn't like MVP in the Super Bowl.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Exactly, And like when I saw San Antonio announced, I
- 26:39Speaker 2: was like, I was so excited because not only was
- 26:42Speaker 2: that game my first ever Steelers game that I watched
- 26:45Speaker 2: that I stayed up late to watch it on a
- 26:47Speaker 2: schooling night back in two thousand and two thousand and nine.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Now I think that game was he was also the
- 26:53Speaker 2: Furderal nine. Yeah. He was also the first Steelers jersey
- 26:57Speaker 2: that I actually owned. So to get to, you know,
- 27:00Speaker 2: have the opportunity to get to track to him a
- 27:02Speaker 2: little bit next weekend, and just to be able to
- 27:04Speaker 2: talk Steeters football with himself and Alan, it's just it's
- 27:08Speaker 2: just fantastic, and you know, the fact that these legendary
- 27:11Speaker 2: players are coming over as well. It really shows you
- 27:13Speaker 2: that the level of commitment to the Steelers, half to
- 27:16Speaker 2: Ireland and the thought of preparation that they're putting into
- 27:19Speaker 2: this event. No, I think it's going to be a really,
- 27:22Speaker 2: really special eating for everyone who's there.
- 27:26Speaker 1: I had the challenge to shot to the team from
- 27:28Speaker 1: Sky Sports who were in Pittsburgh week one at the
- 27:30Speaker 1: weekend in Germany. Not the name drop here, but it
- 27:33Speaker 1: does make sense. They were talking about Antonio in Pittsburgh
- 27:36Speaker 1: in Week one and he was telling them just how
- 27:38Speaker 1: much he was so excited about not just this event,
- 27:42Speaker 1: but more so the partnership that the Steelers are going
- 27:45Speaker 1: down with the Isle of Ireland. He cannot wait for this,
- 27:47Speaker 1: and that's a genuine sort of moment of he's so excited.
- 27:52Speaker 1: So I look, Anne, buzzn't I cually imagine how buzzing
- 27:54Speaker 1: you boys are. And I know we're gonna have so
- 27:56Speaker 1: with fun this weekend. I will say this before we
- 27:58Speaker 1: get of the game. You see us, and so one
- 28:00Speaker 1: day come up, say hello, say hello, ask us what
- 28:04Speaker 1: the crack is? Don't hit me and me indeed, because
- 28:07Speaker 1: we're the drone we're good lads round.
- 28:09Speaker 2: It's all good and here.
- 28:11Speaker 1: That's genuinely though. Like I'll start with you the of Cleveland.
- 28:15Speaker 1: They've got their rises quarterback. They have got one hell
- 28:18Speaker 1: of a defense. We have seen in games throughout the
- 28:20Speaker 1: last few weeks. The game against Indianapolis was one hell
- 28:24Speaker 1: of a game to watch because both sides of the
- 28:25Speaker 1: Barber bron crazy. They didn't have a great game against
- 28:28Speaker 1: the Seahawks. They beat the rs on the Cardinals pre
- 28:30Speaker 1: Catemory coming back and then to have that comeback against
- 28:33Speaker 1: Baltimore who now plays Cincinnati. And for like, we're going
- 28:36Speaker 1: into a game on Sunday where we know what's going
- 28:39Speaker 1: on in the North, there's a huge opportunity to.
- 28:41Speaker 2: Stick here this week.
- 28:42Speaker 1: How do you want to see the Steaders stop the
- 28:45Speaker 1: Browns in Cleveland? The defense has to be on fired
- 28:48Speaker 1: as Sunday.
- 28:51Speaker 3: You know what, You're just right, MiG The defense has
- 28:53Speaker 3: to step up as they usually do and put this clear.
- 28:57Speaker 3: This Cleveland Browns defense there, Like I said, at the
- 29:00Speaker 3: start of the year, we have we had one of
- 29:02Speaker 3: the toughest defenses coming out of the blocks with the
- 29:04Speaker 3: forty nine ers. We had the you know, we had
- 29:06Speaker 3: the Browns as well. So this defense is for real.
- 29:09Speaker 3: The him my opinion, I think the signal hardly won
- 29:11Speaker 3: them the game. I think with the interception, the pick
- 29:13Speaker 3: six sort of got the game rolling. And they've been
- 29:16Speaker 3: on the team to sort of put put the brakes
- 29:18Speaker 3: on Lamar over the past couple of weeks. You know,
- 29:20Speaker 3: there's a quarterback that's trust the Lions and he's trust
- 29:23Speaker 3: the Seahawks, and he's beating everybody around him. So this
- 29:26Speaker 3: defense is for real, and you know we need a
- 29:29Speaker 3: massive step up from the offense. You know, as this
- 29:31Speaker 3: run game can continue that trend, then I'm all for it.
- 29:34Speaker 3: But I'll just say, you know, it's not even the
- 29:36Speaker 3: defense I'm worried about. You know, Deshaun Watson. He's not
- 29:39Speaker 3: the same player he was, as controversial as it say,
- 29:41Speaker 3: it's just not that it's hard to you know, replicate
- 29:44Speaker 3: his form as he has as a taxing But at
- 29:47Speaker 3: the same time, if we can offensively, if we can
- 29:49Speaker 3: move the ball up and down the field, I guess
- 29:51Speaker 3: this strong defense not only is it an opportunity this week,
- 29:54Speaker 3: but it's an opportunity going forward. And I hope that
- 29:57Speaker 3: is what's going to happen. So I'll just jump in
- 29:59Speaker 3: here with a Ford ext and it's gonna be very
- 30:01Speaker 3: low scoring. I'm not expecting a massive game because of
- 30:04Speaker 3: a predicting massive score lines of the past couple of
- 30:07Speaker 3: weeks and it never works out. And I'm gonna go
- 30:09Speaker 3: seventeen sixteen at Spurtstaelers in Cleveland and it's gonna have
- 30:13Speaker 3: most biting and nails right to the end. Could you
- 30:15Speaker 3: imagine seventeen sixteen in here? Like it's gonna be.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Basically bounce to be bounced long term. And like I'll
- 30:20Speaker 1: tell you what after last week, after being of the
- 30:24Speaker 1: game where it was low scoring, I want points, boys,
- 30:27Speaker 1: but I want the Stelers to win. Like to jump
- 30:29Speaker 1: on what day? Have said, Jimmy, I want to see
- 30:31Speaker 1: a defensive performance. I'd like to see. We were from
- 30:34Speaker 1: Kenny with sort of names. Use the run game when
- 30:37Speaker 1: you want fine, get the ball in the field, George
- 30:40Speaker 1: Pepkins on the Johnson get scorers in the board. We've
- 30:42Speaker 1: seen the Browns are very up and down at certain points,
- 30:45Speaker 1: especially at home, and like Deal's spot on. We like
- 30:48Speaker 1: what the Shawn Watson are going to see in Sunday.
- 30:50Speaker 1: This is an opportunity here for it taken the potential
- 30:52Speaker 1: to go seven to three in the season going into
- 30:55Speaker 1: the second half of November, going into December, we cannot
- 30:58Speaker 1: let this time. If we were to be set about
- 31:01Speaker 1: the potential for a postseason, plush becomes so much more
- 31:04Speaker 1: open to get the run. Tell me your faults ahead
- 31:07Speaker 1: of this game, give me your pick.
- 31:09Speaker 5: Well.
- 31:09Speaker 2: I actually got a got a text message from my
- 31:11Speaker 2: good friend Twist earlier on who mentioned that Deshaun is
- 31:14Speaker 2: in a walking boot or was in a walking boot
- 31:16Speaker 2: after the game. And obviously you never like to see
- 31:18Speaker 2: any players get injured. But if it means that we
- 31:21Speaker 2: see PJ Walker, I forget, I forget who the backup
- 31:25Speaker 2: quarterback is with the brand, Obviously that gives us more
- 31:27Speaker 2: of an advantage, especially with our slightly depleted secondary and
- 31:31Speaker 2: inside the linebackers. I completely agree. Okay, fantastic, We've got
- 31:35Speaker 2: the run game established. Finally, we've got some some good
- 31:38Speaker 2: chunk plays. We've got our running back scoring points. Kenny
- 31:42Speaker 2: wasn't exactly on point with his receivers yesterday evening, so
- 31:46Speaker 2: obviously you'd like to see a more balanced attack. Definitely
- 31:49Speaker 2: get Deonta, get George Pickens involved more often, and I
- 31:53Speaker 2: know he's he might be getting double cover, but find
- 31:55Speaker 2: ways to get him open, find ways to work him
- 31:57Speaker 2: into the offensive scheming. He's such an explosive playmaker and
- 32:02Speaker 2: in contested catch, con test the catches. Nine times out
- 32:05Speaker 2: of ten, he's going to make that grab, even if
- 32:07Speaker 2: it's on the sideline. So forced feed pickings the ball,
- 32:10Speaker 2: used the run game to open up the pass game,
- 32:13Speaker 2: and look, just let's have a more balanced approach and offense.
- 32:17Speaker 2: And I think I think we should be okay. But
- 32:19Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a low scoring game
- 32:21Speaker 2: as well, and I'm going to go I'm going to
- 32:23Speaker 2: go seventeen to fourteen as well. Actually, I think it's
- 32:26Speaker 2: going to be that low scoring they go to. It's
- 32:28Speaker 2: gonna be an absolute nail bier. We've seen the last
- 32:30Speaker 2: two games that the Steers have been in have come
- 32:32Speaker 2: down to to last play interceptions, and I think it's
- 32:36Speaker 2: going to be an equally kind of I mean, I
- 32:37Speaker 2: was like, you, Dave, I was on the Packers marching
- 32:40Speaker 2: the ball down the field last night. I was like,
- 32:41Speaker 2: I don't believe we've held on this long. We're going
- 32:44Speaker 2: to lose the game. Jordan Low's gonna gonna ruin my evening,
- 32:48Speaker 2: and then defense came up big with that interception. So
- 32:51Speaker 2: I think it's going to be another tightly contesting game.
- 32:55Speaker 1: I'm going to go above us and go as I said,
- 32:57Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty four. Stat Steelers will win the game.
- 33:00Speaker 1: I think the defense gets some over line, a bit
- 33:02Speaker 1: more from Kenny more points in the board twenty seven
- 33:04Speaker 1: to twenty four. But look, it's a fullhouse. The optimism
- 33:08Speaker 1: is a fever pitch. I'm excited to see you boys
- 33:10Speaker 1: this weekend, more so excited to see a Stadio's game
- 33:13Speaker 1: with a load of fans. It's gonna be great, great
