00:00 All right, Saturday, the Bengals with a huge game in Pittsburgh that Cincinnati needs.
00:07 I think the Steelers have already packed it in.
00:09 You're not the only person to say that to me.
00:12 With the issues with George Pickens and his maturity, not doing the right thing.
00:17 Mike Tomlin, I know you brought it up.
00:20 You got a question, the buy-in from the players.
00:22 They are 7-7, the Steelers are still alive for a wild card, but a long shot right now.
00:26 The Bengals, you're right, they need this game.
00:27 Now, your Steelers are down not two, not three, but four safeties for this game.
00:32 That is a major problem.
00:33 That's hard for in conference.
00:35 That's hard for matchup purposes when you're trying to match guys up.
00:38 Tanner Hudson, watch that tight end.
00:40 There's been sort of a journeyman in the NFL.
00:42 He's come along here and he's more the receiving threat of the tight end position.
00:46 Obviously, it's going to go through Joe Mixon, a running back.
00:48 Jake Browning has showed us this guy's toughness for real.
00:52 Look at the job that the guy's done coming out of nowhere.
00:55 The Vikings should have kept him years ago when he's on their practice squad.
00:58 We'll get to that game later in terms of pick and get.
01:01 The Bengals are doing a great job.
01:04 They're hanging in there when you least expect it.
01:06 They're finding ways to win.
01:07 This is a great story for them.
01:08 Jake Browning, yet another backup quarterback who's getting it done.
01:12 Well, I'll tell you this much.
01:15 He's looked really good and now the Steelers are going with Rudolph "The Red Nose" Reindeer
01:22 as their quarterback on Saturday.
01:24 You can talk all you want about he throws more accurate balls than Mitchell Trubisky,
01:30 but the reason Rudolph is third string where he's been is really who he is.
01:41 He's just not good.
01:42 Yeah, and look, he's only started 10 games in his career.
01:46 He's not a great athlete.
01:48 He's a touch passer, just timing rhythm quarterback.
01:51 Look, here's the thing though with Trubisky being benched.
01:54 Rudolph is more accurate.
01:56 He gives the pass start a better chance to at least get the football where they can catch it.
01:59 The Steelers, the problem is not the pass target group.
02:02 It's been a quarterback all season, all three of them, quite frankly.
02:06 Now Rudolph gets his chance as 11th start in the National Football League.
02:09 Not a great, it's not a great matchup for him, but the one thing the Bengals have shown
02:14 a vulnerability in the secondary, but your Steelers have to be able to protect.
02:18 The Bengals have a very, very good front four.
