• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to the Steeler game on Sunday.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Missed most of the tailgate.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I was at a bachelor party in Chicago watching the

  Speaker 1: Buccos win. Then I watched the Buccos fucking blow it
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: in the eighth from Soto. So, uh, long story short, McGingy,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I've decided to forego the, the drinking this episode instead.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: do a little bonus edition of Pat gets too fucked
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: up to finish an episode. And I'm going to take

  Speaker 2: And all the people at home.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Can, can listen to me get high in real time.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. You know, what's crazy. I, we didn't
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: even plan this. I'm also foregoing drinks as I got
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: too fucked up all weekend. I got a little bit
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: of a head cold thing going on. So let me
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: listen to this one, Pat. You ready?
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're underwater, McChiggy.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: You're snorkeling.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: A lot of fish. A lot of fish down here.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: There's that bubbling noise again.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: A lot of fish down here, Pat.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I'm underwater.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Give me an edible countdown.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Five, four, three, two, one.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: This is going to be a show, isn't it? Let's
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: kick it over to ourselves for the game recap. The
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: opening kick of Steelers football is here. A new era.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy, an offensive-minded coach, and the moment we've all
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: been waiting for, and it quickly starts with a three
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and out after two Rodgers incompletions. Falcons get the ball
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: off the punt, and it's now their turn to go
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: three and out. They punt it right back. Steelers start
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: at their own 32, and a 21-yard grab from Michael
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Pittman has them knocking on the door before a few
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: incompletions force them to settle for a 43-yard field goal
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: from Boz. Kick is up and good. Steelers 3, Falcons nothing.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Steelers hold tight on Atlanta's second drive, forcing them to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: punt the ball yet again. Steelers get the ball back.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Jalen Warren with a few touches in a row on
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the Steelers' drive before he fumbles it. Turns it over
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to Atlanta at the Steelers' 27-yard line. And on third
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and eight, Cooper Rush hits Bijon in the flat. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey isn't quick enough to get over there. Atlanta
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: with the first touchdown of the day. 23-yard screen pass
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: to Bijon. Steelers 3, Falcons 7. On to the second quarter.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Rodgers with the ball back to start the second quarter.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: He's been full of deep shots early that haven't connected.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: This one to Roman Wilson resulting in a 37-yard DPI
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: putting the Steelers in the red zone. But unfortunately, the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: drive stalls yet again, and the Steelers are forced to
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: settle for another field goal. Boz is good from 28
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: yards this time. Steelers 6, Falcons 7. Atlanta gets the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: ball back and on their first play of the possession.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Gateway's finest Jaquan Brisker makes his homecoming and gets the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Steelers' first interception of the year. First interception for him,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the black and gold. Welcome home, Jaquan. Steelers make quick
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: work of their next possession. Rodgers finding Muth in the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: back of the end zone for the six-yard touchdown. Steelers 13,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Falcons 7. Falcons, punt. Steelers, punt. Zachariah Branch with a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: good return, putting the Falcons immediately in field goal range.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: They stall out and settle for three, but Nick Fultz
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: misses his first kick of the day. Steelers with the
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: ball back at midfield, and they quickly turn it over
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: on Downs on a botched field goal attempt that left
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Bill Burr to take a knockout punch. They give it
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: right back to Atlanta. Falcons run the clock out, midfield,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: punt to end the half. Lots of bad football the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: last 10 minutes of that half. More ugly football ahead
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: as the second half starts with another Nick Fulton missed
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: field goal. Steelers get the ball, three and out, punt.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Falcons get the ball back, punt. Midway through the third now,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and it's the Steelers' chance to extend the lead. Fourth
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and three, and they are going for it. A deep
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: shot to D.K.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: No!
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Steelers turn it over on downs. Falcons with the ball midfield,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: but they're still going nowhere. This time, Nick Folk drills
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the 51-yarder, and it's a 13-10 Steelers football. Steelers get
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the ball to start the fourth quarter here. Go three
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and out yet again. Rodgers and D.K. failing to connect
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: on third down for what seems like the 10th time
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: of the afternoon.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Fine.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: But who shows up consistently with the game on line?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: As they call his name on the Jumbotron, T.J. Watt
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: reads Cooper Rush like a.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: Book, picks him off, stumbles, fumbles, and fumbles his way
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: into the.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: End zone to put the Steelers up by two scores.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Steelers 20, Falcons 10. Nick Folk drills another one to
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: put the Falcons within seven. 20-13, and that's pretty much
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: how the.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Game ended there.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Nothing more exciting, just a couple of runs, a couple
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: of runs. Darnell murdered somebody, that's about it. Steelers win,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: cover the spread, 20-13.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Steelers 20, Falcons 13. Steelers cover the spread, started at 3.5,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: boosted up to 6.5 towards game time there. Touchdowns by
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Pat Friermuth and T.J.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Watts.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Chris Boswell, two field goals in there as well. Pat,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are saying, I got a big
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: question for you. A lot of people are saying after
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: this game, well, what are you spinning there? Are you
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: spinning a coin, a dreidel? What are you spinning over there?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: You know, Pat or McGinty, I might've been the one
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to get you sick. I had, I had a bit
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of a cold all last week. So, you know, just
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: throwing that out there. It might be on me.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Okay. Well, thanks for the heads up. I also, the season, our,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: our fellow seat neighbors, you know, she did tell me
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: she was sick and we swapped some drinks. So I, I,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: You know, you.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Got to do what you got to do. That's not
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: on me then. I take that back. I wasn't even
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: sick last week. What were you going to ask?
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I think I know what you're going to ask.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: A lot of people were saying. You can kind of
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: tell in Pittsburgh who really paid attention to the game
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: and who had it on in the background and who
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: was just kind of, you know, there to drink. It's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the same old Steelers as if Mike Tomlin was the coach,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: as if Arthur Smith was the O.C., as if Terrell
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Austin was back there calling plays on defense. It's the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: same old Steelers, same old Steelers. Pat, what did you
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: see out there? Is this the same old Steelers?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Well, it's like biting into a Cadbury egg, expecting a
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Reese's egg, McJingy. It might look kind of the same
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: on the outside, but really it was completely different.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: It's not the same.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I don't like Cadbury eggs at all.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I'll fucking spit that gooey fucking cummy nougat right out.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I'll eat Reese's Pieces until I get fucking peanut butter overdose, McGinty.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying is, yeah, you look at the end results.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: They were kind of similar in the sense that it
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: was a close game against a bad team that we
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: should have blown out. But that's kind of where the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: similarities end, McGinty. I mean, you saw, what, 40 passes
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: from Aaron Rodgers. You saw a completely new style of
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: defense that I am so fucking excited to talk about. So,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: you know, the end of the game, you know, the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: bottom line might look similar.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: And also seeing T.J.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Watt make a play like that and winning essentially on
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a defensive touchdown, right? That kind of looked a little similar,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: but there are more things different about this Steelers team
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: than similar.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not going to lie, Pat, you were saying Caterbury eggs,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and it threw me for a whole loop. I sat
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: over here for the next minute thinking, because I thought
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: it was Cadbury, and then I'm like, you know, it's
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: definitely Cadbury. I had to Google it. It's Cadbury, C-A-D-B-U-R-Y. Caterbury.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Not Caterbury.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Caterbury. Caterpillar eggs. You ever had a caterpillar egg?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: If you think that this was the same Steelers team,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: you did not watch the game. The game was entirely–
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: we didn't see anything like it. They ran the ball, what,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: 14 times, Pat?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: They didn't run the ball well.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: No, they did not run the ball well.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: That looked like the same old Steelers.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They ran the ball 18 times, not including Rodgers'
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: three knees, and they threw the ball 41 times. 40
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: times if you don't include Cam Johnston getting absolutely lit
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: up on that pass. So Rodgers was 24-40. And Jalen
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Warren had 10 carries. Rico Dotto had eight carries. They
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: were a throw first team. Pat, I've been waiting to
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: see this type of aggressiveness out of a Steelers team
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: for years. They were throwing to set up the run.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: No, it was.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're exactly right.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And I think that a lot of the drops that
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: we saw obviously, you know, really stunted the yards down
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the field and, We get some of those drops under control.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I think it'll really look like a different Steelers team.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure how many of those even show up
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: in the stat sheet. I know DK probably had one
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: for sure that showed up in the stat sheet, but
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: there's a couple other balls that he needed.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I tried to find that for a Pat stat,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: but it would have taken me going back and watching
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the game again and jotting my own down. making sure
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that I throw out the hard, ticky-tacky catches and only
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: count the easy catches, which DK dropped a few easy balls.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he wasn't the only one. Roman Wilson had
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: a bad one too.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Roman Wilson, I don't see it anywhere in our outline,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: so I might as well say it now. He might
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: be first-team all-pro pass interference calls, right? I mean, every
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: time there's a contested catch– He's going to look to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: get a pass interference call.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he should have had another one that they didn't call.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: He had the one on the 37-yard DPI, helped set
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: up some points there, but he should have had two.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Officiating was bad all in all.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: It was bad, Pat, and I'm a little worried about
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the officiating. Do you know what channel the Super Bowl
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: is on this year?
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, tell the people. I already know what you're saying.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: The Super Bowl is on ESPN this year. Do you
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: think that... Let's say hypothetically, I mean, I'm not hypothetical.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: ESPN hates Rodgers. ESPN hates that Rodgers was able to
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: go on their network and was able to spit what
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: they call unscience, nonsense, harmful words, yada, yada, yada, some
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: woke agenda bullshit. they're going to put the head out
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: on the Steelers this year. They do not want Aaron
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Rodgers or the Steelers competing in that Super Bowl just
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: so that he can get more airtime on their waves.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, McChinchy.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. And who owns ESPN? Disney.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And let's not act like the NFL isn't perfect
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: or is perfect. Let's remind ourselves that every year we
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: sit at a game in January or late December and
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: we're like, oh, You know, this one kind of looks one-sided,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: kind of looks like the NFL is stepping in. We
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: see it all the time with Vegas and the lines.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: You know, Vegas knows a line like the back of
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: their hand. There's doubt that creeps in your head. I'm
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: just saying, let's think about it on the refs.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Keep your eyes open this year.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Keep your eyes open this year.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: I love a scapegoat as much as the next guy.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: I'm all in. I'm all in on that, McChangie.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: So a lot of changes. I talked in my pep
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: talk last week about a lot of the changes going
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: on with this team, McJingy. The offensive line, for starters,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: only one position remained steady from last year. That's the center, right?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Moving some people around, bringing in some new talents. And
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I've been saying it this whole offseason too, right? It's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Is that what we saw out there on Sunday, McJingy?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I saw improvement. I saw improvement from the preseason. You know,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: they looked a little bit more formidable out there than
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: they did in the, you know, the one or two
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: drives they had in preseason. I don't know what that was, Pat.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: It seemed a little fluky looking back.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: We'll get into individual players in our studs and stiffs
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: because I think they all found their way on one
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: of those categories some way or another. But yeah, I mean,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: there were a couple of plays that We're just really impressive.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Rodgers had a play in the first quarter where I
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: counted six Mississippis, McGingey, to let go of the ball.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Even that little scramble touchdown he had to– It's a
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: whole lot of Mississippis. Yeah. Even that Muth scramble touchdown,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I thought the line did a good job. He scrambled out.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Defensive end dropped in the coverage, was chasing him down,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and he threw it to Muth. So there are some
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: bright spots, some spots where you're like, damn. But there
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: was a lot of bad, too. A lot of individual
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: players that were just getting beats by a bunch of
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: scrubs on this Atlanta team.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a stat here, and I don't want
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to pre-stat your upcoming Pat stats because I know Pat
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: stats matter. My stats are kind of just like a fiddle.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: But let me see if we can get the first
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: pre-statulation of the year, okay? Aaron Rodgers, time to throw.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: 2.85 seconds.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: That is significantly longer than it was last year. Was
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: that a Pat stat?
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: That was not a Pat stat. That's a good one, though.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Thank God.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: That's a good one.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: No pre-statulation yet.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Do you have last year's time to throw? Am I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: putting you on the spot?
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: You're putting me on the spot.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Hey, intern dude.
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: What's up, Pat?
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Why don't you, can you see if you can find
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers' time to throw average from last season?
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: I'll look it up, Pat.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Intern Doob.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I got it right now. Sorry, Intern Doob. 2.59 seconds.
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: So it's a whole two-tenths of a second longer.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: Almost three seconds.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: No, that's significant. And a lot of that, too, is
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the outlier plays where he had five and a half,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: six seconds. But you can't discount those. You can't throw
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: those to the side because that's important. I mean, you
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: give Rodgers that much time, he'll find someone open. There
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: was that play, I think it was third and 15,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he found, was it Roman in the middle of the field,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: kind of laying there in the zone, and it was
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: a first out on third and 15. He had plenty
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: of time for that one. So, I mean, you could say, oh,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: it's an outlier, it's a handful of plays where he
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: had six seconds or so, but that is improvement, and
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that is important to note.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Well, let's not forget how he looked at the end
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: of the year last year. His legs were gone. I mean,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: he was immobile, you know, dead. He looked as old as,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: you know, father time himself. He was mobile. He was
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: moving around. He's going sideline to sideline.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: He looks good. Yeah, absolutely. And I think he got,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many times he got hit, but
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I think he absorbed, what, two sacks from Atlanta this game.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: And you know what? I think last year, let's remind
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: ourselves again. His issues were in the cold. His issues
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: were night games. His issues were not Sunday 1 p.m.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Games.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: He thrived in Sunday 1 p.m.
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: Games.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I'd love to see those stats, too. See if you
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: can find those stats. Rodgers averages in 1 p.m. games
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: in his win-loss record versus night games or outside freezing games.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: Or outside freezing games?
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think there was only... They might like
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: the four o'clock game was like outside and cold late
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: in the year.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: So why don't we say one o'clock games from September
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to November?
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get us those stats because I'm telling you,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: he might.
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: Okay, so one game from September to November and then
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: what else?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: And then night games.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: And then everything else.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: Then just night games.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everything else.
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: At any time of the year, night games.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: Okay. All right, Inter, dude.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: That's perfect.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Let us know when you got it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: You know, we have some talking points on here, McGingy,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: but I have some Pat stats that'll make it a
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: good segue. So let's just get right into my Pat stats.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I think that's the best way to approach this.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: They matter. They matter. What did you think about?
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: They don't matter. Well, let me just throw this stat
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: out here. All right. Throw it out. It feels like
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Bijan kind of cooked us, and in some ways he did,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: especially in the passing game. Those short little dump-offs and
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: those short little screens that he ran really cooked us.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey kind of got blown up on that one,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that touchdown that they had in a similar play. But
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: in terms of our run defense, Bijan had 21 carries
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: for 83 yards. That's the 11th time he has had
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: 21 or more carries in a game. And 83 yards
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: is his lowest total in those 11 games.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: That's phenomenal.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: That's phenomenal. I mean, you look at the stats, it's like, yeah,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: we kind of got gashed. But, I mean, Bijon's a
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: hell of a back. And holding him to under 100
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: yards with over 20 carries, that makes it feel a
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: lot better than I think it looked.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think it really looked that bad, Pat. I mean,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: the way I think of it, they took everything else away.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: They allowed Bijon to catch the ball in the flat.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: They allowed Bijon to– you know, they were daring them
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: to run. I think that I saw that the Steelers
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: ran cover three zone on 50% of snaps.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you, I'll tell you why it looked bad. McGingy.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: This is Pat stat.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Number two, real quick before you get there. My thinking
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: on it is similar to like, if you're scheming up
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: a basketball team, like remember how they used to play LeBron.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they would just let LeBron go out and score
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: 40 points as long as Dwyane Wade and Chris Boss
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: were shut down and doubled and had nothing. It's kind
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: of like, don't let the other guys kill you because
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: he's going to do his thing already. Sure, sure.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: And that was kind of what I was hinting at
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: at one of my keys to victory from last week
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: was The easiest way, well, not the easiest way, but
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the simplest way strategically to win this game is just
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: to bottle up Bijan. But I said, they don't have
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: to do that to win this game, right? There's plenty
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: of other ways. If Bijan goes out, I mean, you
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: saw Kyle Pitts didn't have a catch, right? Drake London
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: got held in check, especially in the first half. I
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: think he only had maybe one catch in the first half,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: if that. So, yeah, you're exactly right.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Give us your second, Pat, stat.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I think this is why it looks so bad in
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: my eyes is the Steelers had 13 missed tackles and
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: 10 of them came from Bijan Robinson alone. Yup.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: It was a Bijan game. I don't have the stat
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: in front of me, but the Steelers hit him behind
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage on every play. Well, on average. Yeah.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Maybe touched, maybe two hand touched, got a shoot.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Right. Right.
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: There was some bad misses too. I mean, her big
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: missed a couple, uh, obviously that Jalen Ramsey, I think
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: that was his only missed tackle that at least that
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: he was credited for, but that let up a touchdown.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: That was just a, a good play against a good
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: offensive play versus what we were running on defense, right?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey coming in, kind of simulating blitz. And then
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: you were left open, uh, two, two blockers for two defenders.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Bijan can get out there before Jalen Ramsey can get
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: over to tackle them.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: But, uh, Yeah, I mean, Peyton Wilson.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: That's going to happen, you know, Pat. Bichon's going to eat,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: especially with a team that decided not to tackle in
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: preseason and camp and everything. I mean, I thought it
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: was a great matchup in the opener because it was
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: kind of like, hey, let's get our feet wet. We
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: can key on the run. We can hit some people.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: You know, we can get warmed up for week two.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: They didn't have to worry about the pass at all.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: It was easy for the defense. Really, it was just tackle, tackle, tackle,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: tackle was the focus.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Steelers aren't going to face– Running back's
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: much better than Bijan. I mean, they have Baltimore with
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Derrick Henry twice, obviously. They're playing Saquon, who's kind of
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: looking a little washed, at least their line is. Jonathan Taylor.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, yeah. Bijan might be the best. At least,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: you know, his combination of power and then shiftiness, I'd say,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: is probably best in the league.
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I would agree.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: He looks good.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Next pick.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Next Pat. Next Pat stat.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Next Pat.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Pat statting off.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Close the door. Close the curtains. Lock the door.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Tell mom to go get some groceries.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Pat statting off. Pat, you keep statting off.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: Your arms are going to get hairy.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: You're going to go blind. This is a bad Pat stat, McGingy.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Three for 13 on third down. Oh, for two on
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: fourth down.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: That can't happen.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Oof.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: One of the fourth down conversions, obviously, being the missed
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: field goal, you know, botched with Kim. Bill Bird just
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: rolled out and got laid out.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that looked like either a completely botched snap or
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: not a botched snap, a miscommunication.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: People were saying that looked like a design fake.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: He looked like if you took a medicine ball and
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: hit a midget with it.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I wanted you to just.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Sit on that one for a minute.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it didn't look right. And I was arguing
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: with people in the stands. They kept saying it was
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: a design play. No, that wasn't a design play. I mean,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: that was botched. He tried to make the most of it,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Cam Johnston. But, yeah, that's correct. Three for 13 on
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: third down. Got to be better than that. That's kind
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: of the early season stuff where, you know, that and
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the missed tackles. You just got to keep your eyes
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: on it the next game or two. Make sure it
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't become a trend.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Great stats, Pat. Do you have three? Do you
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: have any more? Do you have any extra stats?
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: No, those are my three stats. Topsy-turnies didn't seem as
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: important for this game. Mick Gingy, I left those out.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: It's a much different team, a team that's passed first. So,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: you know, compared to those Mike Tomlin teams, I'm not
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: going to put as much weight in them. Obviously, it's
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: still important, but. I think it's a lot easier for
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: this team to win without the topsy-turnies than any of
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the Tomlin teams.
• 24:30
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more. Anything before you want to move into
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: studs and stiffs?
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: I want to talk about some studs and some stiffs.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: The stables are full. Hide your kids. Hide your wife.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: There's some real horses out here.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Give us the first stud, Pat.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: My first stud.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Cam Hayward. Three batted down passes.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: A stud in the run game. This fucking guy.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: He's not even a horse dick, Mick Gingy. That's how
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: full the stables are. What more can you say? He's
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: aging like a fine wine. My fucking boy, Cam Hayward.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Do you have the career record stats? Because I have
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: it right in front of me.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: He is now.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Tied for, what, 6th in passes defended by a defensive lineman.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know that. I just know the record. NFL
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: record for passes deflected by a D lineman is 73.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Cam Hayward now has 67.
• 25:39
  Speaker 11: 6-7.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: 6-7.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: 6-7.
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: 6-7.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: 6-7, 6-7, 6-7, 6-7. Yeah, so he's on his good
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: pace there.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Why don't you give me another step?
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Friar move. Pad Friar move, early season prediction by myself
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: was that Muth would have more yards than Jeremy Bernard
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and Roman Wilson combined. Pad, I think that is very
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: safe to say.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, let me pull up the snap counts.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I think Jeremy only had like three snaps this game.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if I saw correctly, it was three. Yeah.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Roman Wilson, three catches, 26 yards.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: You saw three, two in turn, dude?
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Pat Fryermuth, second leading receiver on the team, five catches,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: 46 yards in a tutty, doing the Rodgers celebration afterwards,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: little Mario jump thing. That is such a ridiculous look
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: at celebration.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: You're going to shit on the celebration now?
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: No, if that's not insulting, I'm sorry.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: He did it for Rod. Did you see that?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Rodgers Realm.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: That's why he did it.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said it in his postgame. He's like, yeah,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I told that Rodgers Realm kid.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: The best friends you got. You have ice cream with
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: the man one time, and he's doing celebrations for you.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a long time coming.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Him, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know how I feel. I mean– Yeah, love the.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Kid, but... He's got a good mustache.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a little weird. I mean, we're two
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: grown men, you know, on a football podcast talking about
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: our dicks every week. So I guess pot calling the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: kettle black, but, you know, big-time man crush from Roger's realm.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do?
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Love it.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Who would you dress up as if you could pick someone?
• 27:43
  Speaker 11: Me?
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. If you had your own Roger's realm.
• 27:47
  Speaker 10: If I.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Ooh.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Like a celebrity who I'd be after. That's a good question, McGingy.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Justin Bieber would be pretty cool.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I don't think people would get it
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: with me, though.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can cut my hair like him, get
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the tattoos, dress like him, and people would just think
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I'm a fucking asshole.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: You still don't got a Lamborghini.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: I just look like a dickhead, dude.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: I just look like a doucher. I walk around in
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: my Calvins, no one going to say nothing.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude. Maybe Adam Sandler, dude, just always being comfy. Yeah,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: that's a good call. Yeah.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: No one else can pull it off, though.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's, you know.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: Let's move on. Studs.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I got another one. This one I haven't really heard
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of hoopla about. He hasn't made a
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: lot of the typical ratings list that you see after
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: games like this, but Zach Frazier played a perfect game, McG.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: I watched the all-22s, the game. I kept my eyes
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: on him closely, and he didn't have a bad snap.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. He was quite literally the best offensive lineman by
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: two-tenths of a cunt hair. I don't even know what
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: I'm saying here.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: It's not like he was.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's a center, so it's hard to be
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: splashy in general.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: But just consistently making the plays he needed to make
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: every single play. Like I said, being a center kind
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: of went under the radar. So tip of the cap
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to Zach Frazier.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: If Joey Porter Jr. gets a big deal and it
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: prevents us from signing Zach Frazier, are you upset?
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: That's not going to happen.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Zach Frazier just started. I think he needs to anchor
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: this offensive line for the next 10, 15 years, however long.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Blank check. Give it to him.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: That was a Pat's bold prediction, right? Zach Frazier, Pro Bowl.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Pro Bowl.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 29:54
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: We're moving there, Pat. We're moving the chains towards it.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Let me give you one. Let me give you another stud.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Peyton Wilson. It seems like the lost and soft brothers
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: aren't so lost and soft, Pat. What a great performance
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: from Peyton Wilson. Patrick Queen, you know, good game too.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Peyton Wilson looks incredibly comfortable in this new defense. He looks,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: you know, physical. Everything they said about him in camp,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: about his run defense improving, turned out to be right.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: After one week. I mean, if he plays like this consistently,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: that's a top ten, top five linebacker in the NFL.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't go that far, but I will say.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: If he goes out there and plays how he did
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: this week, that is borderline all pro.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to nickel with Diamond McChinchy.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: I'll just say this.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: This is the player that we thought we were getting
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: out of the draft, right? I mean, he did have
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: three missed tackles in the run game, but I think
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: he had, what, 13 tackles total? Was it 10 or
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: was it 13? I have my sheet right here. But regardless, yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, just moving all across the field.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: 13 tackles.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: Led the team in tackles with 13. Moving all around
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: the field. Playing a lot smarter, like you said.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was... I think we reversed our lost
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and soft last year. I think you had him as
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: soft and I had him as lost. I think that's
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: how it went. Great pass coverage guy. We always knew
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: that as a linebacker. The only question had been being
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: in the right spot and making tackles, and he's certainly improved.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: This is the guy we thought we were getting out
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina State.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Give us the next one, Pat.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: A stud.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Alex Highsmith, two sacks.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Stables are full.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Was just all over the place.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: He's the Evgeny Malkin of this team, right? I mean,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: TJ's the Crosby. Highsmith is just one of the best
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: in the league. Doesn't need that recognition. Goes out there,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: plays well, two sacks. Really fantastic effort from Alex Highsmith.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Do you have the snap counts?
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Right here.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Not right here.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Where is it? I was just looking at it. Okay,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: this website has some defensive ends.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: Confuse me.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Highsmith played the most at outside linebackers at 41.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: That's 68% of snaps on defense. Herbig at 39 for 65%.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: And Watt at a low 38 with 63%. They also
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: got Jack Sawyer 38% of snaps as well.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Seems like they're walking the walk after talking the talk
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: in the offseason.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think this is a good time to
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: say one of the big differences in this team, Patrick Graham, like,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: you know, we had talked about kind of not having
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: a specific pigeonhole defense that he runs and bringing in
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: a defense that really highlights the players we have. I mean,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: we ran that 2-5 defense, right? Three outside linebackers. two
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: inside linebackers, two people on the D-line. We ruled that out.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: First drive of the game on defense, McJingy.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: I believe it was actually a 4-3.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: It would have been a 2-5.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: No, because Herbig was on the left outside. I know
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: what you're talking about. Herbig was left outside. Pat Queen
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: was in the middle. Peyton Wilson on the right. And
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: then it was Highsmith and Watt up front. And....
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Who was in the K and A ward.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: And then Highsmith and Watt and then Herbig, Patrick Queen
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: and Wilson. It was a 4-3.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll agree to disagree. Maybe we'll get, we'll get
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: some clarity on that in a sec. Let me look
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: into the specifics of that, but either way, just deploying
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: all three of those outside linebackers on the field at
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: the same time, Really a fantastic move.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was unique because I remember Herbig was three
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: or four yards directly behind T.J.
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: Watt.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: T.J.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Watt was on the line. Remember when we said something
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: to each other during the game? It's interesting to see
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: him use that way. I would love to see how off...
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, think about it. If you're that side of
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: the line, you have to worry about T.J. Watt and
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: possibly chipping and doubling. And then if Herbig... It has
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: to come around him, behind him. That's dangerous, Pat.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Dangerous. Absolutely.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Did you find anything? Are you looking?
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's 2-5.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Kazora tweeted something about.
• 35:01
  Speaker 12: It, too.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: So we saw two defensive tackles, three outside linebackers, and
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: two linebackers.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: But Herbig was playing as the middle linebacker. Like, he was.
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: back.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Well, I think we're talking semantics here then.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Semantics, semantics. Hit us up on Twitter if you've
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: got the answer.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: How about that?
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Give us another stunt.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Jaquan Brisker, the hometown kid. Gateway's finest.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Gateway's finest.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: First start at home as a Steeler.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: He comes out good. Apart from that interception, too, he
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: played really well. I don't think he was targeted at
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: all this game, even though he played a fair amount
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: of snaps. And obviously that interception, he was kind of
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: right place at the right time. But, I mean, that's
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: what you got to do as a safety.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: First interception of the year for the Steelers. First game,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: he's playing as a Pittsburgh Steeler in the black and gold.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Like I said in the intro, Pat, sometimes there's proof
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: that a Yinzer's wet dream does come true.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Did you see his snap count?
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: No. Did he play at every snap?
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: He played 100% of snaps.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, dude. He's going to have to, especially with Sean
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Elliott out.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: There's not enough rotations to go around.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: He can work up, play the box as well. Yeah,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: he's a lot tougher than I thought he was going
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: to be. That's what you get when you're from the
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Steel City, though.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Do you have any more studs?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Just the horse dick.
• 36:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah, go ahead.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: I'll let you do the honors.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: T-J-Y! Eight and a.
• 36:53
  Speaker 9: Half inch dick.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: You mean like a horsey boner? Oh, man.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Boy, boy, boy. He takes over games defensively like no
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: one I've ever seen. Troy was great. One of the
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: best of all time. But TJ flat out wins football
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: games again and again. He's been doing it since at
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: least 2019. He's been straight up winning football games, Pat.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you said it, and listen, his sack numbers,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: you know, he may not get over 20 sacks ever again.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: He might.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: He might not.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: And there's been a lot of hubba about TJ Walsh.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: They've been calling him TJ Walsh.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Some people have McGingy. Some fucking people on the X
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: to everything app, McGingy. I've been seeing it, and it's, listen.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Next time you see it, you send it my way.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Tell ya.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know how many times I'll be seeing
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: it now.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: You tag me in it, and you send it my way.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Any, any, make change.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: TJ, he doesn't have to get 20 plus sacks in
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: a season to be one of the best defenders in
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the league because he does everything else. He'll get an
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: interception or two.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: He'll force fumbles at the right time.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: And like you said, there hasn't been a defensive player
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: like TJ Watt that we've had since Troy Polamalu. And
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: what I mean by that is when you watch Troy
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Polamalu and when you watch TJ Watt, You get that
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: feeling that any play, any play can be the play
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: that the game turns on its head. Right? Remember watching
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Troy Polamalu, you're thinking, man, a big Troy play here.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I can see it. I can visualize it. I think
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: the same thing about TJY. I never thought that way
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: about any other defender we've had.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Yep. And the only difference between them right now is
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: two Super Bowls. Troy's made those plays in AFC championships,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: in Super Bowls, in playoff games. You know, that's what
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: we need to see out of TJ this year.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: And you know what else, Pat? They're walking the walk.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: They're walking the walk, moving TJ around the field.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was on the right side of the field,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: the opposite side of where he usually is, six times.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Six times this game.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: He was on the opposite side of the field 12
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: times all season last year, McG.
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: Absolutely.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: He's already halfway there for matching last year's total. That's crazy, Pat.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. Let's talk about some stiffs. Now, we brought
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: the stiffs category back. We're not going to bash anyone.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: We just want to acknowledge, hey, we need to see
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: more out of you.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: You.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: The first one that I had on the list, Pat,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Derek Harmon. His snap count was dangerously low. What was
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: his snap percentage?
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, I have it right here, defensive tackle,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: only 40%.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: 40% of snaps. Let me cut you off real quick.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Listen to how they broke up the percentages here because.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: It looks a lot different than what I thought I
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: saw during the game. Benton only played 58% of the snaps,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: and he was the highest. Cam played 53%. Derek Harmon
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: played 40%.
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Y.A.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Played 30%. And Sebastian Joseph Day played 30%. I thought
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Keanu Benton would have been closer to 65-70 and Derek
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Harmon would have been closer to like 30%.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting to see if it's a matchup thing.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: You know, I watched somebody put a post at a breakdown.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I should have the tweet so I can credit him,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: but fuck him, of Derek Harmon's pass rush reps. The
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: tape was not good. And granted, he got double teamed,
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: I think, Of all of his, I think he had
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: seven or eight pass rush reps and all but one,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: he got double teamed. So he is eating space. He's
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: holding space. You know, that was obviously a concern last
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: year with him doing a much better job at it,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: but we need to see more out of him. And
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know if this was a matchup thing, snap
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: percentage wise, you know, Tomlin always used to tell us
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: back in the day, don't read too much into snap percentage, yada, yada, yada.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: But we've already seen changes on that. So keep an
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: eye on Derek Harmon.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the groupings were interesting. I went back when I
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: watched the All-22s, and I was texting you this, McGingy.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: When I watched the All-22s with Tomlin, it took me
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: a lot less time, a lot less time to get
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: through it because there's so many assumptions you can make.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: You look at a formation, you kind of know who's where.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: This new team, I mean, I had to literally go through,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: look at every jersey number, find every player, make notes
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: of every snap. It took me a long time to
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: go through this all 22. And I thought it was
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: a little strange that Keanu Benton got as much time
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: as he did as the number one snapping defensive tackle.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: They paid him. And the groupings were interesting.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: They paid him.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: Exactly, yeah.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: And a new staff, they pay the guy.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Coming into the groupings, though, it was Keanu Benton and
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Cam Hayward. on that first drive on defense. And they
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: switched it around about halfway through that second drive and
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: took both of them out.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: And it was, I believe, Y.A.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: Black, Sebastian Joseph Day. Yep, Sebastian Joseph Day, Derek Harmon, Y.A. Black,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Jack Sawyer, all got their first snaps as a group
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: about four plays into the second defensive drive. So I
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: just thought that that was interesting. I mean, you're taking
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: out your two quote-unquote best defensive tackles, and then you're
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: bringing in Harmon Black and Joseph Day. Those guys are
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: also bigger than Keanu Benton, right? All three of those guys.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. What are your thoughts? I'm just
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: kind of speculating here.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's much to read too into
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: it right now. You know, this is a deep team,
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: and they're going to need to play those guys. And Cam, TJ, Highsmith,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: their snaps are going to be down this year.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe you could look at it as.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's as simple as that.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: As Cam is the first team center and Derek Harmon
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: is the second team center in hockey talk, right? First line,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: second line. Where Cam and Benton were a good pair.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: And they wanted to put Harmon, such a great run stopper,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: with Y.A.
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: Black and Joseph Day.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I'm just mind-boggled.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I think you're thinking about it too much, Pat. I
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: think that edible is kicking in.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: No, it definitely is. About 40 minutes in.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, yeah, I think you're thinking
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: about this too much. Let's move on to the next stiff.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: The next stiff.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: Next stiff I had DK Metcalf.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's an obvious one. Probably maybe the worst
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: player on the offense. Maybe the worst player on the
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Steelers this game. Just a couple of bad drops. And
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: how much do you think– him not playing in the
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: preseason had an effect on this.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Well, allegedly he had the best practice that Rodgers has
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: ever seen from a wide receiver on Wednesday. So obviously
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: that's what the talk of how to practice was. But
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: it didn't translate to the game. A couple drops, flush it,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: move on. That's it.
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: Also the offensive pass interferences. Don't forget those.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Exactly. Very well could have had 150 yards. And
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: two touchdowns.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: And they were just– we talked about this briefly, but
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: the refs were just calling a weird game. I mean,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: they were calling– you know, they weren't calling– they were
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: calling OPI. They weren't really calling defensive pass interference. So
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: it was just a bizarre game from the refs.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. Our final stiff, Pat.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Not our final stiff.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, our final one. Every other offensive lineman that's not
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: named Zach Frazier.
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: The running game needs to be better, and there was
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: simply nothing there.
• 45:02
  Speaker 9: Nothing.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Let me say, let's get on the list here. Spencer
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Anderson consistently missing blocks, both in the run game and
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: the pass game.
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: There was a drive.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: It was the third drive that we had on offense.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: It went like this. It was Spencer Anderson gets blown
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: up on a play action, allows a big sack, but
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: he was bailed out on a defensive holding call, right?
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: The next play, short game, three yards, rushing Rico Dowdle.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: The play after that, Spencer Anderson can't hold a block,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: and the run play gets blown up immediately at the
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. If that defensive holding wasn't called, Spencer
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Anderson would have single-handedly ruined an entire offensive drive. Yeah.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: No, they need to be better. Absolutely, Pat.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Mason McCormick allowed four pressures. McGingey, he looked sloppy. He
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: just wasn't moving well. Dylan Cook.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: Probably the worst one of the bunch.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Three pressures, allowed a sack, had a face mask penalty
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: that wiped out a first down. Just a tough run
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: game from him. Choi Faletanu let up three pressures as well.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: It was just sloppy, like you said, from everybody apart
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: from Frazier.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: I think it was kind of a sloppy game just
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: in general across the board. A lot of penalties, a
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: lot of missed tackles. Just a team that got lucky
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: with the matchup that they had because they weren't 100%
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: fine-tuned and sharp, and I think the offensive line kind
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: of proves that. Although I did see improvement from them
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: out of the preseason, and I think this is a
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: performance they can build on and get better on. We
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: need to see Max in soon, though. It's about getting
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: that time.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, soon. You're right. I think something to consider
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: with Max is I didn't see anybody really get completely
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: blown up this game where When the ball was snapped,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: somebody was immediately in Rodgers' face. There was a snap
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: in the preseason that happened. I mean, it's early. I'm nitpicking.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: But you can't have any of those snaps on the
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: offensive line.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: So once the Steelers are confident that Ohana Chore can
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: at least lose well, right, at least lose in a
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: good way, then they shouldn't be considering him over Dylan Cook.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: And I think that time is going to come soon.
• 47:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Quick review of last week's Crouching Tiger hitting Dragon. Crouching
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Tiger being Bijan Robinson leading Atlanta not only in rushing
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: but in receiving. He had eight catches and everyone else
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: on the team, wide receivers, had four total. And no
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: receptions by Kyle Pitts' tight end. No tight end caught
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: a ball. Not only that, 21 carries, 83 yards, so.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: They let him do his thing. Didn't really kill us.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: Hidden dragon, Drake London. Like I said, wide receivers only
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: had four catches total. He had two catches for 29 yards.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: I believe one of them came in garbage time, you know,
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: towards the end.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I think they were both in the second half.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: And one of them was on. You could tell they
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: came out of the second half saying, we got to
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: find ways to get him the ball. Because one of
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: them was on a screen. It was a little screen
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: to the left side of the field. So, yeah, I mean,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: you were spot on.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anything else you want to cover in the game?
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: I think we covered it all.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, the field.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: The field.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, the field looks good. After what happened at the
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Pitt game.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: The field looks good.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: The night prior. Yep. Aaron Rodgers gave him a shout, too. Yeah,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Rodgers gave him a shout.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Grounds crew should be proud. Absolutely.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: We got another stunt, McGinty, the Grounds crew.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: I'm typing it. I'm typing it in the outline. Grounds crew.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Don't forget. Don't forget it.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Fuck yeah.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great job to the Grounds crew and great job
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: to that Bermuda grass.
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: Maybe we should get our grass expert.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe we should get some Bermuda grass.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: We should get some info from our grass expert.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah, let's do that for next week. Let's hit
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: up grass expert Phil and see if he can tell
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: us a little bit about the new grass.
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: I'm something of a grass expert myself. I'm too high.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: Let's go to commercial.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll talk Pat's preview and get you.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: some Yinzer of the Week talk, some voicemails, McGinchy's hot lead,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: and some trivia from our very own intern.
• 49:27
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Good cut there, Pat.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Beer. Cigarettes. Football. High fructose corn syrup.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Big trucks.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Firework shows. Heavy machinery. Big game hunting.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Farmer's tans.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: First responders.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Cuban cigars.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: High cholesterol. More beer.
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: $ 10 blackjack hands.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: 50 cent wings.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: Truck nuts.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: And tarps off radio.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: All right, folks.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Thanks for sticking with us, you sexy, sexy sons of bitches.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: We're going to get into one of my favorite topics
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: of every week. McChinchy, why don't you tell us why
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: we hate New England?
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: One of those teams, I don't need to tell you.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: I just need to fuel you. Someone said the other
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: day that Patrick Mahomes was now a bigger villain than
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Brady ever was. That pissed me off. That made me angry.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Never forget. What Brady did in this league. Deflategate.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Spygate.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: Kiss your son on the mouthgate. Kraft has been getting
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: away with just as much. You know, more recently, not
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: letting my fellow ginger redheaded American Ed Sheeran finish his
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: tour unless he dumps another redheaded American Macklemore as his opener.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: This whole organization from top to bottom is arrogant, unethical,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: downright full of pussies. Don't forget who this organization is,
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: what they did for over 20 years. Hell, they're still
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: doing it. Their head coach just became the first male
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: to ever sleep his way to an award.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: They are who they've always been. Mass holes. On to
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: the scouting report. New England is coming off a brutal
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: loss in which Drake May gags the game away in
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: the final seconds. That much is true. But let's take
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: a quick look at the 2025 season they had because
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: it's still early. Patriots coming off a year where they
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: capitalized on having the statistically easiest schedule in NFL history.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Drake May ended up second in MVP voting. Mike Vrabel,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: like I said, slept his way to coach of the year.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: This year, their schedule is a little tougher. They play
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: nine playoff teams from a year ago. Everyone wants to
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: talk about, you know, the new and improved wide receiver core.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Adding A.J. Brown, Romeo Dobbs, boom. had a phenomenal game,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: but people forget they also lost to Fawn Diggs and
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Keyshawn Booty. Their real improvements, though, have been at the
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: offensive line level. Elijah Vera Tucker comes in to play
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: left guard and Jared Wilson bumps over from left guard
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: to center. They spent a first round pick on tackle
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: out of Utah, Caleb Lomu, but he's yet to earn
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: the starting role. Defensively, they're coming off a year where
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: they were top 10 in points, yards per game, Solid
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: team-oriented defense, similar to the Patriots' defenses of years past.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: The second round, they took an edge rusher this year,
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Gabe Jacos, and they signed Draymond Jones, who are splitting
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: time at one of the edge rusher spots to hopefully
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: drum up a better pass rush. Last year, they were
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: bottom 10 in the NFL in sacks. All-pro safety Kevin
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Bayard with the Bears comes over to the Patriots this
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: year to replace Jalen Hawkins. bolstering that secondary that already has,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: you know, Christian Gonzalez, who just got a hundred million
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: dollars guaranteed and is screwing JPJ out of a Steelers contract.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Every other defensive starter remains, including former Steeler, Robert Spillane. Pat,
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: that was a mouthful. Let me breathe for a second here.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Wow. Nice work, Mick. Thank you.
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: That was good. Yeah. Let's keep that going all season.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: That was a good summary. And I liked what you
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: said too, about Mike Vrabel, As a man, the first
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: man to sleep his way to an award. What a
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: milestone for men, right? I mean, women have been doing
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: it for how long? It's about time a man steps
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: up and says, I can do a woman's job too.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: The tides are turning, Pat. The rules are changing. Soon
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: there's going to be house husbands.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Hell yeah, dude.
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: We're making progress.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Give us the injury report.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Why don't we let Intern Doob give us the injury report?
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: He worked hard on it.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's hear it, dude.
• 53:47
  Speaker 7: All right, coming in with the injuries. Last week, we
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: all saw A.J. Brown go down. Unfortunately, he was on
• 53:54
  Speaker 7: one of my fantasy teams. He will be out for
• 53:57
  Speaker 7: about six weeks.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Damn, get fucked.
• 54:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Travion Henderson did miss week one against the Seahawks,
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: but he did return to practice yesterday, so we'll see
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: what happens with him. He is still questionable. will return
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: against the Steelers. Ben Brown, interior lineman, also missed week
• 54:21
  Speaker 7: one with an injury, but did return to practice alongside Travion.
• 54:25
  Speaker 7: Head coach Mike Vrabel also did say, you know, a
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: couple other players like Morgan Moses, Hunter Henry, and Carlton Davis.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Carlton.
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: Minor in-game issues, but they will not miss any action.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Interesting. Great job, Duke. Yeah, great job.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Well said.
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: And Ben Brown, just for the folks at home, I
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: believe is a backup, not a starter. Correct.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just saying that for the health of the defensive
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: line here. Go ahead, dude.
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: Why don't you tell us the Steelers' injuries?
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, not much new going on with the Steelers.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Thank fuck.
• 55:01
  Speaker 7: Everybody saw Troy miss a couple plays, but.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: He came back.
• 55:04
  Speaker 7: He said postgame he's fine. Obviously, Joey Porter Jr., We
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: can all speculate what's going on there, but he is
• 55:11
  Speaker 7: still questionable. Sean Elliott, obviously IR, nobody else really to mention.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Steelers are healthy.
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: Knock on some fucking.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: A healthy team is a dangerous team. Knock on a boner, McGingy, please.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: A healthy team is a dangerous team.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Did you see... I'm going back there with the Falcons game.
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: I'm too high. Who was their quarterback?
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Remind me.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: Cooper Rush.
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ. I heard he was having back spasms. I'm
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: not even, this isn't a joke. I heard he was
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: having back spasms by the, towards the end of the
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: game as well.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: So we almost saw Jake Strand.
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: What the fuck are they putting in the water in Atlanta, dude?
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: Well, he almost didn't play because of back spasms.
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: Cooper Rush.
• 55:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 55:59
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: You were on your bachelor trip or bachelor party. Yeah. No,
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: the day before the game, they were like, Cooper Rush
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: might not play. And, uh, Stefanski had to come out
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, he's actually going to play. He's going
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: to power through it. But he was having back spasms
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: with David.
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: I know what it is, McG.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: After coaching Deshaun Watson in Cleveland, Stefanski says, no massages
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: for anybody. I can't risk it. My court backs are
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: not allowed to get massages. Oh, man.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: That was a good one.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: You got me laughing.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: One thing about this Patriots team in which I think
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: we can get to them is they give up a
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: lot of sacks last year. They were, you know, bottom
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: 10 in the league in sacks. I think this bears,
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: bears well for a new Patrick Graham style defense that
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Vrabel's not familiar with. As you said, Pat, the weather,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: it's going to be rainy. It's going to be, you know,
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: slightly colder, you know, fifties, you know, highest 61 and,
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: is what the weather people were saying. And who knows?
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: Who knows? In Gillette Stadium, that can change. I'm not
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: putting anything past these Patriots.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: I'm looking up the stats from the last time we played. Obviously,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: you know, five turnovers we forced. Drake May had an
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: interception and a fumble. But I want to see how
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: many sacks the Steelers have. Because that was just such
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: a defensive masterclass. Five sacks. Five sacks this game last
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: year against the Patriots.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: That was week four. That's actually a pretty good segue
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: into my Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Should I do that
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: before your keys?
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: Let me hop you here.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Crouching Tiger, obviously the player we
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: should fear the most. The one we can see. Hidden
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Dragon being the sneaky in disguise. Crouching Tiger, Hunter Henry.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Last year, Hunter Henry torched us. He was their leading receiver,
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: eight catches, 90 yards, two touchdowns. Diggs did play. Matt
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Collins did play. Matt Collins had four catches. Keep an
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: eye out for Matt Collins as well, but Hunter Henry,
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: eight catches, 90 yards, two touchdowns. I'm excited to see
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: how the Patrick Graham regime goes against tight ends. That
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: was a historical weakness in all of Tomlin's defense, so
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it here. Absolutely.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And I think it will be improved with that.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: I'm calling it a 2-5 until proven otherwise, McChinchy. But
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: I think that 2-5 is going to really improve things,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: you know, in a lot of areas.
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: And you're going to.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Mention something next. I want you to keep the 2-5
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: in mind when you do. What's the hidden dragon?
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Hidden dragon is Drake May.
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: Bang.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: Now, now, now, now.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: Not his... Passing attack. I'm not worried about his passing,
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: his rushing attack. Last time we played them, he was
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: their leading rusher, seven carries, 45 yards. His ability to
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: escape from a sack. you know, he's been doing it
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: because that offensive line, his ability to pick up a
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: first down when you think you have him. I think,
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: you know, wrapping him up and making sure he doesn't scramble,
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: making sure he doesn't run is going to be key
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: in this game.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And that's, I jumped the gun a little bit,
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: but that's my two, five, two cents. McGingey. When you get,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: Outside linebackers on the edge, you could tackle like that.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: I think that's certainly going to help whenever a quarterback
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: like Drake May can get out of the pocket, scramble
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: around a little bit.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Cool, cool.
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: Why don't we get into Pat's keys to victory?
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, give me your keys.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Give me your keys.
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: First one's off. Why don't you guess the first one?
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: I think it's obvious.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Back of the keys, keys, keys, keys, back of the keys.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: Is it tourney? Topsy tourney?
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: It's turnovers. Man, you nailed it.
• 59:57
  Speaker 9: Nice.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: You nailed it. Turnovers. Yeah, we saw it last year.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: That's why we won. I don't need to go much
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: further into that. So, you know, just get some defensive
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: splash plays. Pat's key to victory number two. Catch the
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: dang ball, McGingy.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: We got to catch the ball.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: I like that key, Pat.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's no more complicated than that, McGingy. And my
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: third key, embrace the 2-5. I'm calling it a 2-5
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: until someone on Twitter tells me why I'm wrong, McGingy.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: I want to see that this game. Exactly what I
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: said about Drake May. Let's fucking get our three best
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: outside linebackers on the field at the same time. That's
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. That formation makes me so rock hard.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: I was calling for it all last year.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: I had no idea what you were talking about. Until
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: you just said that formation. I was like, what?
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: 2-5?
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: What the fuck is he talking? 2-5? I'm 99% sure
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: it was a 4-3. But I guess it's semantics.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I figured two defensive tackles, five linebackers,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: three outside two.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I was calling for that last year. I
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: don't know if you remember. It was such a small
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: point I made. I think I made it in two
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: or three episodes.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: I think you made it just drunk in the stands.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Put all three of them on the field! In this offseason, too,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: I've really been pounding the table because I feel like
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: Nick Herbig is versatile enough to where he can kind
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: of play that hybrid outside-inside linebacker role if he has to.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 4: We saw it quite a bit this game. I don't
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: have the exact numbers here.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they're online floating around, but I
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: was so surprised when I saw the first defense's drive
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: of the game.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: They were all out there.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: It was exciting. I was Bucky Paper for sure.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 4: Well, those are Pat's keys.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: Turnovers, catching the dang ball, and embracing this new formation.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Pat. Now let's kick it to everyone's favorite segment,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Things to Watch from Aircraft's Eye in the Sky. Flight attendants,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: prepare for takeoff, please. I got an apology to make
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: to aircraft. I forgot about his eye in the sky
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: last week. So I got to make sure to get
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: his last week one in here. So everyone's getting a
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: little treat. You're getting a twofer.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 9: Twofer.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Things to watch from aircraft's eye in the sky. The
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: one from last week. Key to the season-long victory is
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: the deep ball. We need to connect on deep balls
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: as a function of offensive line play, receiver play, quarterback play.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Got to force that two-eye look to clear out the box. Boy,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: did he have some foresight last week. If we connected
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: on some deep balls, Rodgers could have had 350 yards
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: and three touchdowns.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: He's a sharp kid.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: Now, here's one for this week. Eye in the Sky
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: this week is simple. Convert on third down at a
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: 40% or better rate. League average is 39%, and with
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: our defense, that should win you most games. Don't care
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: how it happens, just that it does. Convert on third down.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: That's why we call him Aircraft, because he's such a
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: sharp kid.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: I'm right there with him.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Genius.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: You want a random Pat stat I'm throwing at you?
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: This one's off the cuff.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 4: Jaquan Brisker.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: Unsolicited.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: Born on 4-20, 1999.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that's a stat.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: I was looking up his age, and it's, yeah, birthday's 4-20.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's a stat. Good job, Pat.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: Pat stats!
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: Pat statin' off!
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 10: Close the door!
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: I don't have anything else about this game, Pat. I'm excited.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Why don't we get into your McGingy's hot leads?
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Give us a prediction for the game.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say 23-17 Steelers.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: So you're taking the under.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: Did you get into that yet?
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 9: 41.5.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: 41.5?
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 14: Yep.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: That's a good line.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go 24-20 Steelers.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: So I guess that's 44.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 24-20.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 15: 24-20?
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: You know who.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: Was born on 4-20 in 1999?
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 10: 24-20?
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 11: 4-20.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: That's how I am, McGingy.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: I'm hearing individual numbers.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: McGingy's hot lead last week. You know, just a little
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: bit of a thank you from me to the listeners,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: the best listeners in the world. 4-0 last week. We
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: swept the board. Niners money line, bang. Steelers minus 3.5, bang.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Vikings minus 1.5, bang. Scadabo 50-plus, bang. We're now up
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: to 6-2, up four units on the year. This week,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: I got a doozy for you. Over 44 and a
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: half Packers Jets in the Meadowlands. I think both of
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: these teams are going to score some points. I think
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: the Packers are desperate. And I think the Jets are
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: a little bit better than everyone kind of expected out
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: of them. Granted, they played the Titans. Titans are bad. But,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm expecting both of these teams to put
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: up some points. So over 44 and a half Packers
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: Jets in New York City this week.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 10: Nice.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: You're six for two.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Six and two. Hell yeah.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: My dick's 6.2 inches dyslexic, McGingy. Nice.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Let's take a break. When we get back, we're going
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: to have voicemails for you. You answer the week in
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: trivia question. Stay tuned.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: Well, hi there.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 15: My name's Dick, and I'm the owner and proprietor.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 5: Of Fremonta Family Farms. At Fremonta Family Farms, we put
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 5: family first. That's why all our animals are bred locally, in-house.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: exclusively with members of their own kin.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 14: We don't use any of them liberal city boy GMO
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 14: hormonal cows. We breed the old-fashioned way. Couple candles in
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 14: the barn, cow jams, volumes one through four, and some
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 14: gentle coercion. We've worked hard this summer to ensure our
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 14: cows have 30% less hepatitis. Not only do we milk
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 14: our cows by hand, but we slaughter using our bare
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 14: hands as well. None of them fancy, high-powered, unethical killing machines.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 14: Just my cousin Tucker and a few left hooks. We
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 14: also don't just milk cows. We'll provide you with whatever
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 14: milk you please. Hell, I'll milk a pig for you.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 14: We can milk a horse.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: I'll even milk my old blue-tig, Betsy.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Visit any of.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 15: Our 12 locations with the finest quality from Monday cheese, dairy,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 15: and meat around. You can find our vans parked in
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 15: the handicapped space at your local gas station, Tuesdays and Thursdays,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 15: from 1 to 4 a.m.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: And please, tell them Dick sends you.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 14: Ring ring, hello?
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 7: Ring ring, hello?
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: Ring ring, hello?
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 8: Ring ring, hello?
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: Ring ring- You have a bad connection! Alright, you sexy fucks.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: You better follow McGinchy's hot lead. That was some good
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: tips there. Why don't we get into voicemails this week?
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: We got a total of 1, 2, 3, 4, and
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: maybe a.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: Special boner for you guys. Who do we got first here, McGingy?
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: We got Rick from Texas who might have a new identity.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 16: McGingy, this is Ricky formerly from Texas.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 8: Now it's Rick down the side.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Hey-oh! Back in the 4-1-2. I'll tell you what. Sunday,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: the tailgate was rocking.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 16: Pan barbecues were chopping. 106 Man, it was incredible. I
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 16: won't be overly critical of a week one NFL performance.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 16: It's always a crap shoot. But I did have a suggestion.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 16: I think with the JPJ talks going on or maybe
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 16: they're done, I think that what we should do is
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 16: have a contract where every time DK Metcalf drops a ball,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 16: $ 1 million goes over to JPJ guaranteed. I think it
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 16: will fix a lot of problems. I think JPJ would
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 16: be a very rich man, and we can get back
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 16: to playing stupid football.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: So that's a suggestion.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 16: I'll let you all chew on that. But, hey, thank you,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 16: Terps of Radio.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Rick from down the south side.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Rick down south side. Oh, yeah, that was
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: an interesting hypothetical.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: No, that's stupid, dude. We can't afford to pay Jalen
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: Ramsey that much money, guaranteed. What? That's an unrealistic number.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 4: Or Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. That's an unrealistic number.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: They got to pay him, dude.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's done. They don't negotiate during the season.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: They even said that.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: They doubled down.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: It's kind of unspoken for a while.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: Go figure. The night before a game, it comes out
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: that he had a trade request. And everyone wakes up
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: in the morning.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: He's inactive.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: He requested a trade.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: Yada, yada, yada.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: Just agents... You know, saying anything to try and get leverage.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: Joey Porter Jr. 's agents have been all over this
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: news media. And they might be full in the casuals,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: but they're not full in me, Pat.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: And let's not forget, and I might have brought this
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: up last week, but that Le'Veon Bell situation was much different.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: Le'Veon Bell, he had already played through his rookie contract.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: We had already franchised him once.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: Joey Porter Jr. hasn't even been.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: French ties tagged a single time. He's still in his
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: rookie contract. So I just want to, you know, calm
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: the people down who are thinking panic mode. This is
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: Lev Bell 2.0. He's not going to play this year.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to be fine.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: McJunji.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: He's going to play.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: He's going to ramp up.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the call, Rick. Glad to have you back
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: in the 412. Let's hear from another familiar face. Honest
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: Abe Bernstein.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 10: Hey, fellas.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: It's Honest A.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 9: Bernstein here, calling in.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: First and foremost, just want to say it felt great to.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 10: Be back in the bird, watching the boys get ready
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 10: to play, eating some nice fucking.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: Ham barbecue, that and.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 9: The Cordello lot, Carb Soft tailgate.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 10: What a fucking glorious time to be alive, boys.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: Just got to get that out of the way first.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: Overall thoughts on the game? Didn't think the team looked
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: too bad.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 10: I thought we looked all right, right about what I
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 10: expected overall.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: Some good, some bad in there. You know, we got.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 10: First-year head coach, big Mike McCarthy, excited about what he's
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 10: going to bring to the field in these upcoming games.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 10: You know, there are a couple mistakes.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: There, both on offense, primarily on offense, not really on defense.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 10: Defense looks stellar, in my opinion. The offensive side, I
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 10: thought there were some plays that could have really turned
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 10: the game upside down.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: A couple missed calls, a couple dropped balls.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 10: I thought that the score didn't.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 9: Really reflect exactly how we played on offense.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: But, again, overall, some good, some bad in there.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 10: Looking forward to the rest of the season. Specifically on
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 10: this game, though, I want to get your thoughts on.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: A couple things.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: What are you guys thinking about Roman Wilson?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 10: I mean, the guy was targeted an unbelievable amount of.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: Times, in my opinion. Did not think he was going
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: to get.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: That many looks.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 10: I think Rodgers and him might be getting on the
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 10: same page, but overall for the end of the year,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 10: I don't know how that's going to look if we
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 10: continue to get him targets and maybe lack targets on
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 10: some of the other receivers. I just want to get
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 10: your thoughts on the run game I don't really know
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 10: what to think about it in total.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 16: Again, I thought there was some good.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: And some bad in there.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 10: I thought Rico Dowell was a little bit underwhelming in
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 10: the overall grand scheme of things.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, I think that there's more to come there.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: I also wanted to.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 10: Get your overall thoughts on the O-line. I thought that
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 10: they underperformed in total.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: But I think that there's some promise.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 9: I just don't really know what to expect from the
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 9: season after what I saw. I'm still riding the train all.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 10: The way to the Super Bowl for right now.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: But appreciation and insight on all these questions, and here
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: we go, Steelers.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, appreciate the call, honestly. Man, barbecue was a hit, Pat.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm bummed I missed it.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so a couple of his questions, you know, one
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: was Roman versus Jeremy, one of them was about the
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: run game in the O-line. Covered the run game in
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: the O-line pretty much, but Pat, I think I can
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: phrase this in a good way. At what point do
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: we start seeing Jeremy Bernard get, you know, eat into
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: Roman Wilson's snap counts?
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: You know, that's obviously Captain Obvious. That's not up to us.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: That's not up to me. I really don't know. It's
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: going to come down to good practice reps and how
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: he looks. And I think obviously Roman's performance is going
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: to have a big say in that too. You know,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: if he starts struggling or if Jeremy's starting to pass
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: him up in practice, it's certainly something that I see
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: by the end of the year. I don't know.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know what a timetable looks like.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: He's so solidly locked into that spot right now. It
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: doesn't make much sense to me.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: This was the first time there were a couple plays
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: out there. The seat's warm. The seat is warm and
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: it's getting hot. He was coming to this game locked
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: in that spot. It was his to lose.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: I think he played fine for who he is. That's
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: about what I expect to get out of Roman. It
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't bad per se like it wasn't horrible he didn't
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: fumble the game away or drop a bunch of balls
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: but he's not someone that's going to be making contested
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: catches if he can't burn you with his speed to
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: the end zone you might as well not throw a
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: deep ball unless you're hunting for pi which you'll probably
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: be pretty good at actually but um jeremy's just such
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: a better athlete he's stronger uh he runs crisper routes
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: um he's got great hands and he's he's taller and
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: those are all important absolutely.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't agree more.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: Something he said, too, about the defense playing stellar, I thought,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: and they played good, but there were a few plays
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: to nitpick where if they had better quarterback play, it
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: could have turned the game around. That one play in
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: particular where Kyle Pitts broke open down the seam and
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: it was just a duck and Jalen Ramsey was able
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: to catch up from like two yards behind and break
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: it up.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: That comes to mind, but.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I knew you'd say that.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Quit nitpicking. Thanks for the call, Honest Abe.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: Let's hear from Alan way down yonder on the Beaver River.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: Boys, this is Alan from way down yonder on the
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Beaver River.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 10: Feels good to fucking call in, dude.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: Felt good to be down there on the North Shore,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: bring the boat down this Sunday.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 10: We're fucking back.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: The season is back.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: I'm calling with two items, though.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: One, that flyover was fucking bullshit.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: Fuck NASA.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 8: That sucked.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 9: I didn't even fucking see the plane.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: It was so high, I didn't even fucking see it.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: It was like 50%.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 16: Of my ticket price was for the flyover, and I
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 16: couldn't even fucking see it.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: Number two, team-related.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 9: Really looking for your.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 10: Guys' opinion on this.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 9: Derek Hartman only playing 24 snaps.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: Cam Hayward only playing, like, 50% of the snaps.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: Like, I'm all for keeping the boys fresh and shuffling
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: them in and out.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: But, like, I felt like a lot of snaps, critical.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 10: Points in the game, late in the game, I was
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 10: staring at 120 million just standing on the sidelines.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: I wanted to see what you guys thought about that.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: But boys did look good.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 10: TJ Watts fully back.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: He's getting MVP again.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 7: And I think we're winning the Super Bowl.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: Well, hold on. He had a part two.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: Hey, I got a round two here.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: I forgot to mention this, boys.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 8: This is Alan from way down yonder on the Beaver
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 8: River again.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: I was laying in my bed last night, and I was.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 10: Like, severely pissed off.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: Like, I'm just scrolling through Instagram, and then I get
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: this dealer's account pops.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 16: Up on my timeline.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 9: Like, this professional sports account has 3.9 million followers. It
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 9: just keeps posting some stupid-ass brain rot bullshit on my timeline.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 16: Is this some mean 16-year-old account?
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 10: This is a fucking joke, dude. This is fucking Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 9: Let's post some real shit.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: I wanted to see what you guys thought about.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 8: Those stupid-ass posts because I.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 10: Fucking hate them.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 9: Thanks, guys.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: Alan was angry.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 4: Well, it sounds like the brain rot kind of.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: Served its purpose.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: The brain rot has gotten to Alan.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 4: It's rotting your brain, Alan.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: The Steelers meme posts have gotten to him. The flyover, yeah.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, could have been better.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: It was probably like the coolest planes that I've seen
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: a flyover have. You know, these planes were badass, but yeah, they.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 4: Were up so high and they made zero noise.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: The timing was off, too.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 4: There's something a lot of boats have. It's called the
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 4: captain's call.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: And it literally, it's only function is whenever you flip it,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: it makes the engine like two, three times as loud
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: just to piss off everybody around you. Show how big
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: your dick is. I wanted to see that turn the
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: captain's call on.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: It didn't, those seems like some pea shooter planes.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: What a shame. And the D line, we talked about that, um,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit already. That's a great question though. Cause
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: I think we're all kind of thinking the same thing. Um,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: anything else to add about that mcginji i know we.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: Covered nasa's nasa's fucking dumb dude nasa's fucking dumb now
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: i got to think about that flyover i'm kind of
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: i'm kind of without on that fuck nasa space nerds.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah fucking nerds dude they're ruining.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: The game yeah anyways d-line snaps yeah i think it's
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: just one of those things we're gonna have to see
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: how it plays out but let's all remind ourselves that
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: it is a September game against a third string quarterback
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: on a team that will be lucky to not finish
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: last in their division.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 12: There were some times too, where this touched on this briefly,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 12: but I think the, the, the way they sub players
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 12: didn't make a whole lot of sense where like they
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 12: took pretty much all the ones up front on the defense,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 12: off the team, outside linebackers and D tackles, and then
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 12: replace all of them at the same time.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: And it's like, Exactly like Alan said, he has a
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: picture on his phone that he took, and it was
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: her big Watts, Cam, and Highsmith all just standing. And
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: I think Benton, too, all just standing on the sideline.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, how much money is that just sitting on
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: the sideline there?
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 11: $ 120 million.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: So, I don't know. Good point, Alan. I appreciate the call.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: Good seeing you as well. Let's kick it to Flobby
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: up on the mound.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 9: Hey, Tarpsoff.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, Fobby.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: Game hasn't been played, so I don't got nothing to complain.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 8: About in that regards.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: And I might not. We'll see how it goes. I
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: just wanted to say I'm very.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: Disappointed in Tarpsoff on Twitter using AI.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 9: They're cutting corners, Tarpsoff.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: You think the Steelers cut corners when they get on
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: the field? Is this franchise built on cutting corners?
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think that's what we're
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: about around here.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 9: So think about that.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: You can call me a league.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: You can call me whatever the hell you want.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: But you know I'm right.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 7: Figure it out.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: Ask me for help if you need it.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: I'll do my best.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 9: Last but not least.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 4: Any comments to make on that intern, dude?
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, let's ask Fobby how much he's going to contribute
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 7: to us paying a graphic designer. Fuck my dick.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: That's Doobie. Hard at work, Fobby.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 7: Doobie's doing all that himself, dude.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: And honestly, if we're going to put the data centers there,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: I'm going to fucking use them.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: I know for a fact Fobby sent me a couple.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: He sent me some AI memes that he found funny before.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: So he's a hypocrite.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 7: That's my AI. My president told me we got to
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 7: just accept the data centers.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: I have Grok Premium.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: All I'm saying, Fobby, don't look at my dick and
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: tell me when to piss, buddy. Well, you know what?
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: We're going to do it even harder.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: Even sloppier.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: We're going to make them even sloppier. We're going to
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: make sure they all have typos. You're going to hate it.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 8: Oh, man.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the call, Foggy on the Mount, I guess. Now,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: no more callers this week. We did have a very
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: eventful Twitter Spaces postgame, or I guess that's X, the
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: Everything App Spaces now. A bunch of people in there
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: giving their opinions. Jim Broney was just on another planet.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: This guy was, you know, stand-up comedian on steroids. He
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: was making everyone laugh, had a lot of good one-liners.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: I clipped up an excerpt for everyone and just gave
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: you some of the highlights, the Jim Broney highlight reel.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: Here you go.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: What I got to say is, all right, I'm talking.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 11: Fuck you, Fobby on the mat.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: Get off the mount.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 8: Fuck you, Fobby.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: Fuck you, James Broney.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 4: I'll slobber your dog. You dumb bitch.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: You dumb bitch.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 11: You know who's better than Jaquan Brisker?
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: Who? Jordan Whitehead.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 7: Beaver Caddy.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: You sound like a fucking retard.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 9: All right?
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 4: He was flying over at 2,700 feet.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 11: And the flyover.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: Should be at maximum 300, 400 feet.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 11: We get an AC-130 that misses the field goal post
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 11: by 10 yards, but we can't get two fucking jets
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 11: to come close to the goddamn stadium?
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: He's a down-to-earth guy.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 14: First in the locker room, last out.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: Makes all the right plays.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 10: Fucking 2,700 feet!
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 11: They're a mile in the goddamn air!
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: That was a touchdown! Those fucking retards.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 11: It's probably the same thing that happened when Aaron Rodgers
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 11: on third and fucking sixth said, oh, I think they
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 11: have too many men on the field. Let me snap
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 11: the ball real quick and throw the ball.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: Out of bounds.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 11: And then, oh, we're just going to go for it
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 11: on 43 and throw a fucking 70-yard bomb right through
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 11: DK's hands.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 16: She doesn't give a fuck.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 11: If anything happens to her fucking.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: $ 16, 000.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 11: 2004 Kia Optima.
• 1:25:12

• 1:25:24

• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: after game time.

  Speaker 4: If you're driving drunk home from the game, don't be

• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: What you got for us?
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 7: All right, so, you know, last week is a pretty
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 7: obvious one. We asked you guys who in 2004 week
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 7: one– win over the Raiders, scored three touchdowns on only
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 7: three total yards. Tell me who it was, McGinch.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: Jerome Bettis.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: The bus.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: Easy, easy question.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 7: The bus, classic.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: That must have been AI. He must have AI'd that one.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 7: Good classic one for week one.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: Use up that water, dude. What's the one this week?
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 7: This week, we got a little bit of a different one. Um,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 7: Still a week one question, though. So in 1989, the
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 7: Steelers kept an undrafted rookie linebacker on the week one
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 7: roster only because another player failed his physical. Do you
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 7: guys know which future Pro Bowler was the surprise beneficiary
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 7: of that roster shuffle?
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 10: Pat?
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to just guess. I have
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: some guesses, but, you know, no, I don't know the answer.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Future Pro Bowler from the 90s,
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll reveal it next week.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Keep your secrets. Pat, you want to take
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: us away?
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: Steelers football.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: Week two.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 13: After a messy, dirty bird dinner, the Steelers are looking
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 13: to balance out their salt.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 4: Coma with a little sweetness.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 13: And what's better for dessert than heading up to Boston
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 13: to cream cheese?
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 4: Pie some Patriots? Speaking of cream pie.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 13: Mike Vrabel hasn't won a game since Diana's dirty little
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 13: secret came to surface. May Drake turn the ball over
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 13: twice again, just like last year when the Patriots shit
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 13: in the bed worse than Robert Kraft did when he
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 13: saw the teddy bear's eyes blink red at that massage
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 13: parlor in Jupiter, Florida. Robert Kraft is begging TJ Watt
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 13: to say free Palestine so he can ban him from
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 13: Gillette Stadium on Sunday. Connections to Mossad, deflating his balls,
• 1:29:14
