We're talking about the National Football League 20 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:40.159 pretty much mainly, and we are talking about me National Football League. Earlier 21 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.000 today on social media, we talked to all Pennsylvania sports. Now we're limiting 22 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:48.000 it to the Steel City. All right, to my right, Ralph Williams. 23 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.200 I joined him on the External Bum podcast. I believe that runs on 24 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.959 Saturday morning normally from nine thirty to ten. This week we're doing it on 25 00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:00.120 half an hour earlier. Mark Mancini and Joe Kuglis usually are they or other 26 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.920 calls? Is that correct? Yes? It is. You got it right 27 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.560 there, Scott. Yes, it is every Saturday morning at nine thirty am. 28 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.199 This week we're run at nine am, right. I enjoyed doing That's 29 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:14.319 an awful a lot of fun. You talk about me talking fastball, Go 30 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.400 out there and tune into that and talk about the fastest thirty minutes in sports. 31 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.639 When we get done running up. I wouldn't even know what the way 32 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.719 that show is paid thirty minutes of thirty seconds, but either way, thirty 33 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:29.159 is a lucky number. Pay attention and check us out. Ralph has updates 34 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.280 and I have him as well. So with that said, the other member, 35 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:36.400 there's Jeremy ball Rech, who is my MVPs all over the map and 36 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.199 tonight he's on here. Thank you. It's glad to be here, Scott, 37 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:44.319 nice to see you again. Ralph and George, Thanks Jeremy, and 38 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.120 last but not least a long time no see George last hour. Yeah, 39 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.840 yeah, I've been a while. It's good to be back on here with 40 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.159 you guys. Let's get thank you, let's get to it. The words 41 00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:02.039 very unfortunate, but it wasn't dirty applied to Pittsburgh Steelers safety Mica fans Patrick 42 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.520 as he defended his hit on Nick Chubb and that left the Cleveland Browns running 43 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.199 back with a season ending knee injury. The Browns resigned Kareem Hunt. Fifthford 44 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.039 one or defeated Cleveland twenty six. Twenty two. The Steelers take on Las 45 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:21.879 Vegas on Sunday. Well, what's your interpretation of that play? Ralph? 46 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.080 Well, Minca. It was a clean hit. There was no penalty on 47 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:29.039 the play, so obviously, and Minca said it was a clean hit. 48 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.400 They did a press conference with him today and he said that it was a 49 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.960 clean hit. He got a chest injury and had to leave the game, 50 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.039 so you know, he got hurt too, So you know, it's not 51 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.400 like but it's not as bad as Chubb. But I mean, you know 52 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.360 so, but it was a clean hit from what I could tell. And 53 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.879 then also he verified it today that it was a clean hit. He's been 54 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.599 taking a lot of slack over that Cleveland fans especially of course, you know 55 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:01.199 Cleveland loses anyway, but you know, so, but Ford picked up the 56 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:06.080 slack, you know, his back up and you know, so we'll see 57 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:14.080 what goes on from there. Jeremy, the optics of it in the real 58 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.000 time, because the one linebacker hit him up high and Minka came in low. 59 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.000 It looked dirty. Whether it was intentional or not, we'll never know, 60 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.600 because in that moment in a bang bang play, you will never know. 61 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.360 But I'm saying the optics of what we saw on TV, that's what 62 00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.879 they're doing nuts about. It wasn't the Cleveland fans at the game. They 63 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.120 didn't say that. It's all the ones that watched it at home on TV, 64 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:42.800 right, and you know, whether it was or not. It's an 65 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.600 unfortunate injury to Nick Chose, and it's unfortunate that Minka got hurt on the 66 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.600 play too. It is what it is. There are injuries in football. 67 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.800 I mean, whatever we spill say, people get hurt. It's a high 68 00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.480 contact sport. It's the irresistible force versus the immovable object. When two objects 69 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.759 hit at twenty to twenty five miles an hour head on, it's no different 70 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:09.639 than running into a brick wall at one hundred miles an hour. Great analogy. 71 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.800 I like that, okay, George, Yeah, I thought it was 72 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.839 a fairly clean hit. I have no objection to it. And it is 73 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.600 very unfortunate. You know, we've seen these players go down with injuries now, 74 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:21.920 and you know, right at the beginning of the season, it's just 75 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:28.160 never easy to see. Lyons had their share of injuries last Sunday. All 76 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.079 the teams are going through this right now, unfortunately in Dallas and Cleveland, 77 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.439 and it's just a shame because these kids, these guys work out all year 78 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.600 long and they wait for this moment. They wait for the beginning of the 79 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:44.680 long NFL season and then bam, it comes down to something like that one 80 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.319 play and it's just unfortunate. But like Jeremy said, there's nothing you can 81 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.639 do about it because injuries are a part of the NFL. They always have 82 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:58.240 been, unfortunately. But I thought it was a decent hit. Yeah, 83 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.600 and nowhere did I say that. I'm the same with the Cleveland fans saw, 84 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.399 and I understand what they saw. I am never going to take anything 85 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:09.360 away from that because what it looks like and what it is is two different 86 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.360 things every time. Because unless you're on the field and in that situation, 87 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:18.199 you real it's there, right, And that's what I'm getting at. Yeah, 88 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.839 let's face the reality. Okay, when you have two guys leave the 89 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.800 game because of a hit, you know how physical it is. But I'll 90 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.560 want to just say one or two more things about this subject, where you 91 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.720 move on a next caught number one. No matter how hard coaches try to 92 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.040 police injuries during the preseason by leaving guys out, that's all well and good 93 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:40.279 until you get to the game, but ultimately you're going full speed regular season 94 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.720 game one all the way until the finals. So you know, I respect 95 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.759 the coaches are trying to hold their players out, you know, minimize them 96 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.240 in games, even though you still have two team workouts anyhow. But no 97 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.360 matter how you try to think you're gonna escape injuries by being conservative in the 98 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.480 preseason, ultimately it could catch up with it. And indeed it has for 99 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.639 a lot of players around the league. And I'm not going to get in 100 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.720 the show full of injuries because every team is going to have their mash list 101 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.879 by the end of the year. I've always said it's not the best team 102 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.079 that wins the super Bowl, but the one. It's a survival of the 103 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.639 fittest and the healthiest. That's what usually gets you to the end. And 104 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:20.639 the NFL is certainly a sport that's worthy of it. Knowing you have seventeen 105 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.639 games, and I think down the roads, you're gonna have eighteen games and 106 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:29.199 two preseason games. Eventually later I see that coming down the road, but 107 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.959 right now you're dealing with seventeen. With that said, let's look at the 108 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:38.040 flips side of the coin. I want each of your observations on Deshaun Watson. 109 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:42.399 He's taken pretty much two years off and it's making the Texans, I 110 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.199 think look like geniuses because they ended up brownstrated a lot of draft capital to 111 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.839 get them, and they also have C. J. S. Trout. 112 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:53.600 So all right, I'll lead off with you, Ralph Okay, Deshaun Watson, 113 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:58.319 some literally thoughts Cleveland got egg on their face, Scott. Simple fact, 114 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.079 bottom line is not only do they have egg on their face, they're 115 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.560 stuck with this guy because they signed him to a big contract. They give 116 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.519 him two hundred and fifty million dollars. No matter what happens to this guy 117 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.879 other than an injury, they cannot get rid of them. I mean, 118 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.800 it's a bottom line is they're stuck with him. So his performance the way 119 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.639 it is is this his own fault because he's been out of the game for 120 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.959 almost two years and then on top of all that, he had to get 121 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.120 acclimated to a new system. And I mean, you know that right there's 122 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.600 a shot in a foot and you know, so the management of Cleveland Browns, 123 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.759 Kevin Stefanski, made just a horrible move with this. I know they're 124 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:43.679 trying to get a quarterback, franchise quarterback to do something because they haven't had 125 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.639 any luck with quarterbacks for at all. Probably since Brian Sipe. I would 126 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.480 think, you know what I mean, you know, at least in my 127 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.679 generation, so I mean, you know, they have not had luck at 128 00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:00.320 all with quarterbacks. So and now here's another example of another one that they 129 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.000 blew well. Bernie Kozer is a name that a lot of people in oh 130 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.799 I forgot about. Bernie. I'm sorry, it's okay, that's all right. 131 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.120 I have to lift you up to some big Bernie Kozar was really good, 132 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.480 So he was, yes, and two hundred and thirty million dollars for 133 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.000 a guy that playing a long time doesn't look very good either. And the 134 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.159 best part about a lot of the owners is they got smart because they we're 135 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.879 not going to cave into those demands of these high numbers. And that's why 136 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.279 I took our jacks a little while. Although he's worth every dime of what 137 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.799 he's going to get. But in the end, Deshaun Watson to me, 138 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.600 you're right, real egg in the faces is a nicer version of it, 139 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.519 all right, Jeremy DeShawn Watson. When you ta have eighteen months off without 140 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.960 having in game situation, it doesn't matter how wait, how many ways you 141 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.519 work out to compare to keep yourself in shape, which he did do that 142 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.600 well. Because he's not getting injuries when he's getting sacked. He actually still 143 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.000 looks pretty muscular. He sticks still pretty mobile at that But what he isn't 144 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:05.759 is accurate because what lacks is the space between the years not being worked out 145 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.919 in game situations. I have the feeling that he may even out and get 146 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.759 better as the season progresses. He hasn't been god awful, but he hasn't 147 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:20.799 been good. Well I'll say this too, Jimmy HASLM obviously realized he was 148 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.559 desperate to try to make a move, and he did. And obviously, 149 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.960 now Kevin Stefanski's job is on the line and he has to write it out 150 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.399 with John Watson. So you have a couple of little dynamics there. With 151 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.440 that said, I'm handing it over to George. Well, you know, 152 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.720 he hasn't had a winning season four years. When he was at Houston in 153 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.720 twenty nineteen was the last time he was above five hundred. He's one and 154 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.639 one this year, I believe two and two last year. He's an average 155 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.240 quarterback. That's all he is to me is an average quarterback, but a 156 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:56.559 highly paid average quarterback. And you know, you're right about Cleveland, boy, 157 00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.440 I'll tell you their snake bid on their head, coaching, their stake, 158 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:05.039 bit on their quarterbacks. This is a franchise that just languishes year after 159 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:11.519 year after year, and it's it's it's another situation that I mean, I 160 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.960 hope for the best. I don't wish the kid ill will or anything, 161 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.919 but like Jeremy said, you know, the stats aren't there, the completions 162 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.480 aren't there. You know, he's not thrown enough touchdown passes. I mean 163 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.440 you go down the list all the vital statistics, his quarterback rating. You 164 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:31.240 know, he just cannot compare to the to the guys that he's facing game 165 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.879 in and game out. I mean, he just can't statistics wise. So 166 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.519 and that thing about knowing the playbook and knowing what goes on is a valid 167 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.200 argument. I believe in his case. I really do, because you have 168 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.480 to be smart as a quarterback. You have to be able to adapt. 169 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.519 You have to be able to read those defenses that they'll split seconds. You 170 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.679 have to be able to find the open receiver. I don't think he does 171 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.879 all that very well at all. I'm sorry to Sean, but you need 172 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.840 a little bit more a little bit more. No, you're right, George, 173 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.440 because uh, in this Steeler game, he I saw opportunities for him 174 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.879 to run and he had open, open field to run and he didn't. 175 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.879 And that's you know again, that's like you said, bad decision maker. 176 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.559 You know, when you think about the Browns quarterback history. When they came 177 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.480 back in the league, they drafted Tim Couch and we certainly expected oh yeah, 178 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.759 and we know all that didn't work out. Well, so all right, 179 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.960 yeah, that wasn't a good pick at all. Obviously, what we 180 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.000 know, we need to vote to show the drafted. But I'm not going 181 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.480 to pick on the Cleveland Hey, Scott, he's one of our bumps for 182 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.679 Saturday, Okay, well, there you go. Well I'm giving you some 183 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.639 food for thought for our show. There you go. That's it. Well, 184 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.200 that's okay. I don't know do I take him? You take him? 185 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:48.639 Not an old external bump contest. We'll see who has a tug of 186 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.159 war over Tim Couch. But that said, so yeah, but the reality 187 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.399 of the situations are Cleveland. I don't know if set the brown says it 188 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.840 was a pretty good following out in the Cleveland area as well. They're trying 189 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.879 are they really are. They're trying to make some moves. I like the 190 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.360 move of Creme Hunt that they brought him in to resign him for four million 191 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.480 dollars. May not take the place of Nick Chubb, but you know what, 192 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:11.960 if you can do anything to bring this guy in with a four million 193 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.679 dollars conduct, I'm sure there's some incentive based clauses in it to bring into 194 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.679 that total to be able to pick him up. I hope that they're saying 195 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.039 Cremem hunts able to go out there and do well. I think he also 196 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.480 is a product George of the University of Toledo right to Toledo Rockets if I 197 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.600 remember right, yes, yeah, so there you go, Toledo Rockets. 198 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.720 There's your claim to fame here American right there you go, man, Mid 199 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.399 American Conference. They play some good football over there. Topic number three Warren 200 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:46.559 Sap fifty Hall of Famer joining Dion Standers that next season. Good fit Ralph. 201 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.039 Yeah, absolutely. I like Warren Sapp I always have, you know, 202 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.919 And if he's joining Don Sanders, that's great. Do you want Sanders 203 00:13:54.919 --> 00:14:00.440 managed to put together some good coaching staff there in Colorado? He has uh 204 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:05.840 Pat Shermer there Pat Shermer is a good offensive coach, you know what's so 205 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.519 bad as a head coach. But you know he's that's just a classic example 206 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.600 of some of the good people that he's put on that staff. Colorado is 207 00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:20.559 going to be a force to reckon with this year and beyond Jeremy great move, 208 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.759 what a great defensive mind and a guy that will help that defense because 209 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:31.960 God knows Colorado needs defense because they can't afford too many more shootouts. That's 210 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.360 true, They're gonna have their hands full this weekend against the Unversity of Oregon. 211 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.000 I don't know, Yeah, play out well, I don't know. 212 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.320 We'll know when don't we go back on it covers its red. But I 213 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.960 don't think they win. Yeah, well, yeah, tell you what. 214 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:48.799 They're three and all and they've Dean Sanders proven that. I think they may 215 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:50.720 win Jeremy, but I think if they do, it's gonna be a dog 216 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.120 fight. It's not gonna be a blowout or anything like that. I don't 217 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.080 think any I don't think any game that Colorado's gonna get into is going to 218 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.639 be easy. But you know what, Remember the team won a game a 219 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.080 year ago. Now they've won three and they're looking much better on it. 220 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.600 They have eighty six new players on that roster. I like what they're doing 221 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.200 in bowler, I really really really do. Oh yeah, I mean that's 222 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.000 unbelievable they've attracted. And when you think about the Colorado Colorado State game, 223 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.679 what what did it bring? Was it along eleven million if if I remember 224 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.639 right? Yes, but then that was a lot for an in state rivalry. 225 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.759 And Jane Norvelle, like I thought the Colorado was going to blow them 226 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.799 up a day. Norvelle a Colorado State Buffalo, Colorado State Rams coach. 227 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.200 They came to play despite one hundred and eighty seven yards of penalty by the 228 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.480 ram. That's that's Mike Norvelle's brother. Yeah, he's a good coach. 229 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.200 There was there was two of us when Prime was hired that said that Colorado 230 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.799 would probably make a Bowl game. That was me and Jacob. Well, 231 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.879 we'll see that's a realistic goal. Go ahead. And George Warren sapp won 232 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:58.240 a Super Bowl, seven time Pro Bowl. I mean, come on, 233 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.200 yeah, that's a great move. Really, yes, it is, you 234 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.279 know, and Detroit has done something very similar. Dan Campbell surrounded himself with 235 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:08.240 former NFL players and I like that idea for Sapp to do the same, 236 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:11.840 although it's a different level. Of course, we're talking about college and not 237 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:17.039 professional. But yeah, I mean, you know, he's got things going 238 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.519 for him right now, but bringing out a talented person like Warren Sapp, 239 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.360 that's that's really good. I think he's around fifty years old right now, 240 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.960 but he's he's ready hat challenge, and I think he'll do good out there 241 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:33.679 in that program teaching those kids, Rocky Mountain High kids. You gonna remember. 242 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.919 Warren Sapp to me, was one of the premier defending defensive players, 243 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:42.039 and I think he dropped to the Buccaneers because there were some character issues at 244 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.000 the time and he had follow the Buccaneers. And of course when you've following 245 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:48.879 the Buccaneers, you have Tony Dungee. It's not that bad, Okay. 246 00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.600 If anybody can fish you, it's Tony Dungee. Ralph thought that Tony Dundee 247 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:57.000 made a living in Pittsburgh for a while, so I guess he did. 248 00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:00.519 Coach Sender. Chuck Noll right, one of the best of the business. 249 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:07.920 Yep, So Tony Dundee Chuck nol. It's safe to say that coaching has 250 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.200 always been pretty good. Mike Tomlin. I think he'll end up eventually leaving. 251 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.240 It's not the topics tonight as one of the most underappreciated coaches in Pittsburgh 252 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.960 history, is what I think. But that's my opinion. So, yeah, 253 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:22.279 you're right, Scott, You're probably right. Yes, yeah, So 254 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:25.599 I guess we all agree that Warren Sapp is a good hire. Yeah, 255 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.240 oh, absolutely right. Final thing we're gonna talk about tonight before we turn 256 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:33.200 over Ralph's parting shots. I thought of two Monday Night games next week. 257 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.880 You got Philadelphia Tampa Bay at seven fifteen LA Rams that sits in a Bengals 258 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:40.599 eight fifteen. You're gonna I don't know if you're gonna see Joe Burrow in 259 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.119 that game or not against Matt Stafford. And then of course we have Philadelphia 260 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.680 Tampa Bay. Well, let's not I'm not one to analyze the games. 261 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.160 We're ain't gonna bother with that tonight. How's that all right? Let's just 262 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.359 go ahead and talk about the dynamics of not one, but two Monday night 263 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.759 games instead of So go ahead, and Ralph, Well, Tampa and Philly. 264 00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.839 I didn't expect Tampa to be two and out because I do know that. 265 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.319 You know that, you know they have some issues down there. You 266 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:10.799 know, they have Baker Mayfield who sort of succeeded in one place and didn't 267 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:15.720 in another, and he was another Cleveland quarterback, and so you know, 268 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.839 I didn't think it. Todd Bowles is another coach walking on eggshells down there. 269 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:23.240 You know. Talk to some of my Tampa friends, Peter Blake, 270 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.920 Leo Haggerty and a few other guys. They taught me the same thing. 271 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.920 So you know, we'll see where Tampa goes. They might be three and 272 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.799 oh you never know, but Philly's gonna have to make some mistakes in this 273 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:38.400 game for that to happen. I think Tampa might lose this game because you 274 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:42.680 know, Philly is just they're on all cylinders right now except for their defenses. 275 00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:45.880 We talked about pre show, you know, so we'll see where the 276 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:52.200 where it goes. Jeremy, Well, the only thing I got to say 277 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:55.319 about Tampa being where it's at and Baker Meafield doing as good as he is, 278 00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.440 Isn't that kind of a testament to Byron Leftwich who stayed behind instead of 279 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.920 taking the head coaching GiB because he's still the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator, 280 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:08.559 and he did. I believe he got released if I remember, Yeah, 281 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:14.839 he got released as he was the quarterbacks coach at Seattle. He's still new 282 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:21.039 offensive coordinator. That's okay. Continuing in Jeremy, that's sorry. Whoever's they're 283 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.759 doing that must have did something with Mayfield because Mayfield's had the smarts, but 284 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.000 he hasn't been able to put the smarts to his hands all the time. 285 00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:33.279 We saw it come to Fruition in twenty twenty and lo and behold they beat 286 00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.960 the Steelers in the playoffs in the first round. That being said, he 287 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.319 hasn't had a good season since until this year. He's had good moments and 288 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.799 good games, but he hasn't had a good start to a season. And 289 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.279 it's looking good for him. It should be a good matchup. As far 290 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.559 as Joe Burrow, he was out throwing at practice today, but he still 291 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.960 wasn't taking actual practice, so it's still up in the air if that calf 292 00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:00.319 is good enough for him for his plant foot to be mechanically. I think 293 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:06.400 they should start their backup anyways, this they're in a bad place right now 294 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.319 at owe them too. And Joe Burrow doesn't look right. Okay, that's 295 00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:15.000 fair charge. Yeah, both games will be very interesting for the reasons just 296 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.240 mentioned, you know, and Burrow is getting off to a very slow start. 297 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:25.440 As we know. It's interesting because you know, ABC and ESPN, 298 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:27.960 as we all know, are owned by the same company, Disney, and 299 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.240 yet they show these games, they stagger them by a whopping forty five minutes 300 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.559 or fifty minutes. You know, come on, if you're gonna do the 301 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:38.279 doubleheader, guys, I want to talk more about that, Scott, not 302 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.799 the game itself. I'm want to talk about the scheduling. Also, I 303 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.079 know for a fact that ABC is putting on Monday night football. Don't know 304 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.400 if you guys heard all year lock because of the writers strike, they don't 305 00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:53.240 have any fresh programming. What a brilliant move, ruined our ledge. If 306 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:56.759 you were still there, I know you would make the same decision. So 307 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:02.160 the ABC is going to show the ESPN game every Monday night, except, 308 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.160 like Scott said, when we have these doubleheaders plan, but why don't they 309 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:10.440 stagger them a little bit more? You know? Yeah, like years and 310 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.720 years ago they did one at seven and one at ten fifteen or something like 311 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:17.160 that. But they're not doing it that way. And I understand that, 312 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:21.680 you know, the people don't want to stay really super late. Okay, 313 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:25.839 but the Colorado Colorado State when it was the weekend, but showed a lot 314 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.279 of people who want to stay up late for football. But I'm happy. 315 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:32.759 I think it's good, you know, when when you got enough games available 316 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.079 to do a doubleheader like that on Monday Night, I'm all for it. 317 00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:37.880 And I'll tell you what, I'm looking forward to both of those games. 318 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:42.839 I'll go with Philly and the Philly and uh and uh the Rams, right, 319 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:47.680 yeah, yeah, yeah, the Rams and since yeah, yeah, 320 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:51.759 I'll go with Philly and and Hurt and the Rams and staff are to win 321 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:55.599 those games that you guys have talked about some of the reasons already. All 322 00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:56.799 Right, I'm gonna pivot back, okay, And I want to make sure 323 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.200 that everybody understands we're on goal with this. Jeremy, do you or do 324 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:04.880 you not like the idea of two games on prime time on Monday night? 325 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.200 Yes? Or no? I do. I just like the idea of the 326 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.480 staggered like they used to do, like you said, uh, they even 327 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:17.680 did it last year Thursday. Remember the season opener with the Amazon was staggered. 328 00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:19.799 There was one at seven and one at ten. That's a much better 329 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:23.400 viewership, especially with West Coast and East Coast games. Okay, well, 330 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:26.079 good, thanks for answering my question. All right, Ralphs, you heard 331 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.519 the question. Give me an answer. Do you like doubleheaders on Monday night 332 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.319 football? Yeah? Sure, absolutely? Why not? I mean, you 333 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.839 know it takes away from Monday night roth w W. I mean, you 334 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:42.119 know, especially when you know Monday nights and football season, they lose their 335 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:47.680 ratings. So I mean, because everybody you know watches football, so I 336 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:52.680 mean, it's it's a staple Monday night football. I don't mind watching two 337 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.039 games. Well I don't either unless I'm compete with them, and I can't. 338 00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.640 I'm very nice, but it seems like nowadays I'm in it anyway, 339 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.000 So what's the difference. So yeah, now, with all due respect, 340 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.480 I like the idea of Monday night football. You can add too and Georgia. 341 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:08.839 A lot of us are old enough to appreciate the fact I used to 342 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.680 like ABC Monday Night football. Anyways, that was always a stable how it 343 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:17.599 but the staggering ways to look now start as my analytics about the two games. 344 00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:21.880 I'll make it simple. I like Philadelphia always have despite losing two coordinators, 345 00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:23.440 are still doing all right. But here's the thing about Tampa that I 346 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:27.240 really like about him. Okay, everybody talked about Todd Bowls being on the 347 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:30.119 hot seat. You know what, I disagree with you. If you win 348 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.279 with Baker Mayfield, you know what you're on. You're on house money. 349 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:41.279 Remember that, because remember, Baker Mayfield is taking Tom Brady's place. And 350 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.799 if he wins and he's mature and he does the right things and doesn't do 351 00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:52.519 as many endorsement deals and endorses a playbook and stays away from social media, 352 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.440 you know, you might have a number one bus that never became a bust. 353 00:23:56.720 --> 00:24:00.759 It just took a couple of changes of scenery to make can happen with 354 00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:04.440 a coaching stat that believed in him as well as an organization. This to 355 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.720 me, Baker Mayfield, I'm pulling really hard for him, I really do. 356 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.000 I hope that he finds a home once and for all. He's mature 357 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:15.440 enough to take advantage of this opportunity, because you don't want to be labeled 358 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.480 bust. All right, So it took you two, three or four times 359 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.359 to get it right? Hey, once upon a time, Jim Plunkett was 360 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:25.799 the first overall pick in the draft and he ended up winning with the forty 361 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:29.000 nine Ers. Okay, Heisman Trophy. There are a lot of guys that 362 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:32.079 can fall into that category. So you know, up, Baker, make 363 00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.519 sure that if you can get a Baker's dozen wins, they're probably gonna give 364 00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.079 you a statue in front of that. Just kiddy with you, you know, 365 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.640 But Bakers doesn't just happen to fall in the right place of the old 366 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.519 Yeah, Plunkett won with the Raiders as well, I mean, you know, 367 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.000 yeah, yeah, he ended up beating Philadelphia, I believe in the 368 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.599 Super Bowl if I remember what right, Tom Flores was the coach, right 369 00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.039 exactly. So my point is that I'm pulling for Baker Mayfield. Hey, 370 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.519 you know what, I'll always pull for Matt Stafford. I don't care it's 371 00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:03.000 what the Rams or not me personally. I only think Stafford's got about another 372 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:04.640 year or two left anyhow, and that'll be the end of the line for 373 00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:08.039 him. I really don't. I think that of Rams are going to ultimately 374 00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:12.279 move on with that contract that he hasn't and he won't take less money. 375 00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:15.319 We'll see where Matt goes. I think if he goes so, it won't 376 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.640 be because of the contract. It's because his body can only take so much 377 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.799 anyways, and injuries will ultimately be there. But as far as the original 378 00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:26.799 topic here, yes, I'm glad for two Monday night games. I wish 379 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.240 they'd be thread out. But if they have a seventy eight fifteen, well, 380 00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.240 you know what, you'll be able to watch the back half of the 381 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.960 other game if it's close and gonna matter. It's still a pretty good idea 382 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.559 to maximize all your teams on national television if you have the ability to do 383 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.079 so. It's called promoting your product to the fullest. Have a quick question. 384 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:52.359 It's Cincinnati in the Central time zone or Eastern Actually, I think they're 385 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.920 in the Eastern time zone. Yeah, they're they're playing Rams at home. 386 00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:02.119 Steelers played as the Rims out there, right, A big difference in that, 387 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:07.720 Yeah, right, it's coming east. And you know with Matt Stafford 388 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.640 and his neck and back held together with gorilla glue and toothpicks, you know 389 00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.039 that that that defense is still nasty. They can get after the quarterback and 390 00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:22.799 who knows what happens if he gets hit, right, that's true. But 391 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.920 all the more reason why, like you guys alluded to, that wouldn't be 392 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.440 the worst thing of Joe Burrow set out a game either, knowing that I 393 00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:33.119 believe Aaron d Oh, yeah, yeah, if he's smart, If he's 394 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.759 smart, Scott, I think he will if he's smart. From Taylor, 395 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.240 we keep talking about all these injuries, right, well, let's ken our 396 00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.079 fingers crossed that we don't see any more major ones this wee yes, now 397 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.359 it was Kelsea back for the Chiefs led us on day Jeremy, Yes, 398 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.960 he was. Yes, what did he do? What? We're his final 399 00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.680 what's his final line? You know? Let me look right now. No, 400 00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:57.160 it only take me a second. The reason I brought that up, 401 00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.599 Scott is because, yeah, these guys early in the year, I agree, 402 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:06.480 rest them, don't overdo it, don't overextend. If somebody's hurts like 403 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:08.680 Burrow, you know, and you're rushing them in there. And look now 404 00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:11.279 you're owing two. I mean, I'm not saying it's all his fault, 405 00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:17.079 but I'm just saying he had no agreation numbers. Looked at the look at 406 00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:22.359 Arthur Smith and in Atlantic guys, he rested all his starters for the preseason 407 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.839 he's two and oh, so there you go again. You know what, 408 00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:29.200 I don't want to get premature with those numbers yet early. I know where 409 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:32.519 you're going with this, Ralph. We'll save it for another time. I 410 00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:36.640 need to really find out what teams are where they are after week four or 411 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:40.880 five, before after their bye weeks. No. Yeah, but the reason 412 00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:44.359 what my logic rout behind what I just said between four and five is by 413 00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:48.680 then you're gonna know whether injuries are taking an early toll out of you, 414 00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.160 and then you're exactly and then you're going back and forth to the practice squad. 415 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.000 So a little bit more route movement after years weeks four and five, 416 00:27:56.079 --> 00:28:00.400 then I could engage where they're at right now after two weeks. I remember, 417 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:02.799 who knows if some teams have even played a home game yet or not 418 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:06.880 my week three or four or five, they will have played at least on 419 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:08.599 the road and at home. Jeremy, it was just anything else you want 420 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:14.279 to add it before you take it over. I was asked about Kelsey's numbers 421 00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.160 last week, and if you actually look, it's very similar to what Noah 422 00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:21.119 Gray add in the first half versus the Lions. Four catches twenty six yards 423 00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:26.240 and a touchdown. Okay and all that. Yeah, and Noah Gray got 424 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.519 the touchdown for Kansas City. What I'm seeing is in that first half, 425 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:37.160 Noah Gray was doing exactly what Kelsey does for Pat Mahomes, and they shucked 426 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.640 that down in the second half. Yeah, I gotta give it to Dan 427 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:47.039 Campbell. Yeah, guys suspended for gambling and injuries, and Detroit's where they 428 00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:51.240 are. Well again, let's talk. Let's see over the weekend. All 429 00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:53.319 right. At this point, at this time of the show, it's half 430 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:56.599 for Ralph's parting shot. Go ahead, Ralph, I want to give my 431 00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:02.880 parting shot out to offensive coordinator Matt Candidate for the Steelers. He's the cheapest 432 00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.400 of paid offensive court inner in the league. He makes a half a million 433 00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:10.359 dollars a year. He's friends with Mike Tomlin. He recruited Mike Tomlin's son 434 00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:15.000 at Maryland when he was interim head coach because he was the head coach in 435 00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:18.519 the interim head coachair. Because rand yetto got fired. Okay, he hasn't. 436 00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.359 He's done average in college. He got fired at LSU because him and 437 00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:27.279 Ogron couldn't get along. All right, this guy is a complete bum. 438 00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:32.640 I mean, he just he's not a good coordinator. He at one time 439 00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:34.640 when he was a pit for the one or two seasons he was a pit, 440 00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:37.319 he asked for a million dollars. They wouldn't give it to him, 441 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:42.599 so he went to LSU. All Right, this guy is a horrible NFL 442 00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.880 coach. He never was an NFL coach and I don't think he should ever 443 00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:51.119 be another NFL coach. If he gets fired or his contracts up at the 444 00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:53.279 end of the year, we'll see where the Steelers go with this. I 445 00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:59.799 think he's a bum, and we'll see what happens after that. All right, 446 00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.279 fair enough, Okay, with that said, whereas we approaching into the 447 00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:04.400 broadcast, Ralph bunch everybody know how they get hold?
