Yeah.

Right? Uh, 42 out of 60.

I just, you know, that's 70%.

70% of the game the Steelers were being outplayed.

They were down big.

They just didn't look very good, and then they got that drive going at the end of the third and, and carried it into the fourth and, and wound up winning the game.

Wasn't even perfect after that, but, you know, I, I think that anytime you do something that you haven't done in 34 years, and that's win a game that you were trailing by 13 or more going into the fourth quarter, that's, that is something you can hopefully ha- hang your hat on later.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, a lot of guys that weren't on the team last year helped with that win quite a bit.

Yeah, and I think that's a positive sign, obviously.

You know, when you make these decisions...

And some of them are financial, extending contracts and signing.

Like you said, Rico Dattle, thank you for mentioning him.

He looks

sharp, I thought.

I thought the last two weeks across the board, the tackling's been pretty darn good for the Steelers.

Uh, man, it has been a lot of fun, uh, seeing this offense kind of find their identity and, and get rolling here early on in the season.

It is.

Um, you know, the fun thing is that they're doing this and I, I'm still not even sure they've hit on all cylinders, which is kind of fun.

The offensive upside is greater than I think we've seen in a while.

It's more aggressive than we've seen in a while.

You know, that decision to go for it on fourth down in the fourth quarter, I'm thinking, "Man, I think I'd kick the field goal." Uh, but I'm, I'm glad they went for it.

I'm glad they wound up scoring the touchdown there.

Yeah.

That's how these 40-plus quarterbacks, the Tom Brady's, the Peyton Manning's, who have success and win a lot of games and win playoff games later in the stages of their career, I think they do that playing the way Aaron Rodgers did yesterday.

He played great, no doubt about it.

He played great to me.

I mean, I think, you know, Jeremy Bernard's an interesting story just because of, you know, could he step up with the injury to Michael Pittman and then during the game, Roman Wilson? The answer is yes, at least for that game.

But, you know, he seems like, I think the Steelers traded up to get him right in the second round.

I mean, obviously they feel really good about what he can do and he's showing what he can do.

And that was very heartening if you're a Steelers fan and if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers, heartening too.

In fact, they were pretty much shut them down.

Yeah.

So a lot of times when teams are blitzing, that, that tight end will try to stay in, you know? Um, sometimes...

And I'm not saying a lot of times, but sometimes a, a tight end, if, if he's unblocked or what have you, can release in a pattern, and if, and if a blitz is coming, he can't.

Maybe, again, I haven't gone back and parsed up, uh, parsed every single snap and where guys are going, um, and why they're going and why they're releasing.

It's the same thing with running backs too.

Matt was talking about Jalen Warren and blitz pickup.

Um, I love to see Jalen Warren, uh, have more than 13 receptions at this point in the season.

In his element, yeah.

He's really getting up the field.

Yeah, he, you know, half a sack last week, led the team in tackles a week ago.

Look, he's a first round pick.

And I think that You know, as the draft was unfolding last year, he was one of those guys that, boy, you know, is getting close.

And I really thought the Bengals might take him because they had to pick.

I think they had to pick before the Steelers last year.

And I was thrilled that he was there.

And I was wondering how you feel about that.

Jalen Warren's our clear cut one.

I mean, he's so good.

He's just so good.

You know, I mean, he.

he really, really, guys, he just dislikes being tackled.

He doesn't enjoy it at all, you know.

I mean, he's just so hard to get on the ground.

I mean, all the time.

I'm not interested in that style of

football because we've become a little accustomed to that sort of offensive approach.

I love the idea of pressing the ball down the field.

It just didn't happen in this game at all.

I mean, in the Falcons, you come out and say, well, you know, it just, it didn't work, but it was there in this game.

It's just nothing worked.

Now, I'll also say this.

Could that maybe be part of just simplifying things, is getting the ball to the big man and letting him work?

Could that maybe be part of just simplifying things, is getting the ball to the big man and letting him work?

Yeah, it's possible.

I mean, I think everything and anything is out there, Wes.

And like you said, you know, now I don't see him ripping downfield for 30 yarder.

Sure.

Right.

And running a long seam route.

out.

I thought Sunday might have been Roman Wilson's probably was best performance we've ever seen in the black and gold.

Yeah, and that included a ball in the end zone that it looked like he got interfered with.

It would have been a nice catch to make certain.

It would have been a touchdown.

We'd be talking completely differently.

He'd be getting universally praised if he caught that ball, but he didn't.

There was also a post-corner he ran.

yeah.

What is OT? So OT is,

so it's operational technology, which is opposed to IT, which is information technology.

And there's all sorts of terms.

There's all sorts of, the current sort of new hotness for OT is now CPS, cyber physical systems, because we have to change acronyms every few years.

So sometimes in older documents, you might see it as SCADA or OCS, operational technology, industrial control systems, cyber physical systems, or SCADA, which is not really, it's often used as a generic term, but it does actually have a more specific meaning.

That stands for supervisory control and data acquisition.

And that has to do with a part of OT, whereas the other terms were much more blanket terms.

So what are some of those security implications?

We had Missy Matthews on last week, and we were joking how not only will there be fans with the microscope on every single drop back and every throw, there will be fans saying, who did a better job walking down the hill, pointing at fans, carrying their helmet and signing autographs from the moments even before practice starts in Latrobe.

Yeah, I was on with Mark Madden last week, and Mark said, look, it's an exciting thing for Steelers fans, this whole backup quarterback position.

And, Brian, I think you nailed it.

I think Mark nailed it.

I mean, there's going to be a lot of eyes on that, you know? And Will Howard is...

I talked to a couple of guys a couple of years ago.

It was Troy Fautano who basically missed his entire rookie year.

What's your thoughts on the lack of disrespect so far for the Pittsburgh Steelers?

Sneaky

... for sure.

Um, no, but I'm a f- I'm a flatlander from Ohio.

There's no hills, obviously no mountains.

And, um, you know, I started ultrarunning in 23.

I've done maybe 10 races or so.

I, I grew up doing cross country and track in high school, college, and, and, uh, and then took a break from running for about 10 years until, uh, 23.

Can you tell us a little bit about your, your game plan for a race like this?

What are your thoughts watching him week to week?

You know, it's been, I think, the biggest takeaway I've got.

You know, there's a lot of stuff that swirls around Aaron Rodgers because he's not afraid to share his opinions, and I'm not going to talk about his opinions outside of the realm of football because people have their own opinions on that.

But, you know, I think the perception that comes with that is, well, what kind of a teammate is he? Well, I'll tell you right now, first of all, he's a great teammate.

His teammates love him.

They revere him.

And I think that part of the journey on this team has been, you know, allowing him more and more to be the leader of the team.

Rob, when things don't go well for the Steelers, say the Cleveland game or whatever, pick one, what happens? What is the tough or worst-case scenario for this football
