00:00I want to ask you, you know I'm absolutely livid about the Steelers, like that they continue,
00:07they get worse, they get worse by the week.
00:10And that, and they finish in five straight losses, they lose in the playoffs again, six
00:13straight playoff losses.
00:15And this guy is the Teflon Don, I mean, he's gaudy.
00:18This guy, nothing ever happens to him, they fire everyone else.
00:23And it's amazing to me, we talked about Andy Reid, knew when to leave Philly.
00:26Does this guy not see the right, I was at the game against the Bengals, you should have
00:29heard the racist language that was coming out of the stands directed at Tom, they hate
00:34him in Pittsburgh.
00:35They blame him for everything now, and I don't see why he wants to even stay, because they're
00:40not firing him.
00:41I don't think they should fire him, what do you, all right, hire Arthur Smith as your
00:46head coach.
00:47I don't want him either, he's awful too.
00:50The Pittsburgh Steelers roster isn't very good, let's just call it out for what it is,
00:54it's a miracle they're even in the playoffs.
00:57Last time I checked, Mike Tomlin's not the general manager of the football team.
01:01Mike Tomlin doesn't draft the players, Mike Tomlin coaches the players that he's given,
01:05now I don't think that, I'm not naive enough to believe that Tomlin doesn't have an influence
01:10obviously being around as long as he has, especially at the quarterback position.
01:14So let's just call it out for what it is, the quarterback position has to be addressed,
01:19one way or another.
01:20I mean, they were winning football games with Justin Fields.
01:23They made the change to Russell Wilson because they thought there was more upside, that was
01:27the mistake there, there wasn't more upside, right, he went on a run, they won a couple
01:31of regular season games, but I think Justin Fields athletically actually brings more than
01:36what Russell Wilson did.
01:37Do you think they'll keep him?
01:38Do you think they'll cut a deal with Fields to keep going?
01:40No.
01:41Well, actually, you know what, whatever they're going to do, it's going to be meteorocrity,
01:46Scott, right?
01:47You know what I mean, like, look, they gave up on Kenny Pickett pretty quickly, so really
01:52if you want to go back to the root of the problems, it's the quarterback.
01:56They don't have a quarterback, they haven't had a quarterback, and you know what I mean,
02:00like you can't just bring in a guy for a year, it doesn't work that way, you know, it takes
02:03a couple of years to get chemistry, and they're almost becoming the Raiders like that.
02:08Well, let's just plug, you know what I mean, the quarterback position, Scott, you know,
02:12it's not a position that you plug in, right?
02:15It's not wide receiver three, you know, don't worry, we lost games.
02:19It's horrible too, Gabe.
02:21Well, that's another thing too, like really, who do they have, Scott?
02:24I mean, DJ Watt, DJ Watt, you hear about DJ Watt all the time.
02:27They're not a very deep football team, right?
02:31They're a little bit older on defense, they're just not, you know, Porter's coming along,
02:35so you got a good young DB, but you know, the balance isn't there.
02:39I, you know, I understand the frustration with Tomlin, and I get it, it's just sort
02:42of rinse and repeat right now, but I think it's more of a case that Tomlin does a good
02:47job actually getting this team into the playoffs, but once you get into the playoffs, Scott,
02:52you're exposed, right?
02:53When you play other teams, you just have better talent than you do, to just point blank.
02:58Like what, look, honestly, what is Mike Tomlin supposed to do?
03:02You want him to stop Lamar, who has Lamar Jackson?
03:05Like you just played a game against a team, who has Lamar Jackson on the team?
03:09Not the Steelers, who has Taylor Kenley on the team, but not the Steelers.
03:13Who has that on the Ravens?
03:15Well, I'm just saying, look at the roster, right?
03:17I mean, it comes down to rosters, and the Ravens are loaded, so, but Pittsburgh, I think
03:22Pittsburgh needs some tweaks.
03:23I don't think it's about Tomlin, per se, but I think they need to readdress their player
03:29development or their player evaluations.
03:31Let's be real too, they don't run the ball.
03:34So we've heard this for years, Scott, every year, every damn year before the year starts,
03:39we hear this.
03:40The Steelers want to get back to their roots, or their blue-collar-ness.
03:43Dude, they haven't ran the ball since Jerome Bettis has been there.
03:46Let's be real.
03:47Right?
03:48Najee Harris is okay.
03:49He's not, you know what I mean?
03:51He's okay.
03:52Jalen Warren is okay.
03:54He's not-
03:55Better than Harris.
03:56Yeah, and he's not a legitimate number one back.
03:59So look at it, and you've got a headcase-wide receiver.
04:03That's the one thing I don't understand about Tomlin.
04:05He's the best player on the team, though.
04:06Is the lack of discipline.
04:08That's what I don't get.
04:10He's immature.
04:11He's seemingly losing control of the Steeler way.
04:13We'll put it that way.
04:14He's immature, but he's their best player on the team.
04:18He's a good player, but he needs to shut up.
04:20He's the best player on that team.
04:21It causes too many problems.
04:22I agree.
04:23I agree with you.
04:24Well, that comes with time.
04:25I mean, the kid's 21 years old, whatever, 22 years old.
04:28How many immature kids do you know?
04:30And now there's a lot of kids in the NFL that don't behave like him.
04:34But he's a brother that just isn't going to listen to anybody tell him how to act or behave,
04:39and that's where he comes from.
04:40He was the same way in college, and he's just a smart-ass.
04:44Well, that's why he fell in the draft, right?
04:46I mean, because he had attitude problems.
04:48Put it this way.
04:49If you've got problems with Kirby Smart, that's a red flag.
04:53I'm just saying, Scott.
04:54Neighbors are the same way with the Giants.
04:57He belittles his teammates left and right.
05:00You're right.
05:01And Malik Nabors is another one of these modern.
05:03He's from LSU.
05:04He got pickets from Georgia.
05:05But like I said, Kirby Smart has a pretty loose program.
05:09So if somehow you've upset Kirby Smart, you know you've got a problem.
05:12A lot of Georgia guys are problems, bro.
05:15Let's just call it out for what it is.
05:17Kirby Smart lets them get away with almost literal murder, like literally and figuratively.
05:22Do what you guys want.
05:23You want to drive around and kill people?
05:24Go ahead.
05:25Whatever.
05:26You know, it's not my problem.
05:28And then you get the ramifications.
05:30So when players take these guys after, LSU wide receivers too.
05:33It's not like it's new that they have attitude.
