What is the latest news about TJ Watt's injury?
The TJ Watt News led the show, and it was Tom Pellicero basically saying, although, you know, there's so many unanswered questions yet about this, Donnie, that it's not a major or long-term injury, says Pellicero. It sounds like he doesn't think that Watt's going to play on Monday. And he also said there was, I guess, was a tiny hole in his lung that, quote, got fixed. That's all according to Tom Pellicera, who's pretty good at what he does. So where does that leave us? I mean, I've been trying to think about this during the brief intermission there. Where does that leave us with T.J.
How does TJ Watt's injury impact the Steelers' upcoming game?
Watt? How do you feel about this situation right now? I feel like we can all but rule him out. I don't want to say it's 100%, but I would say it's very likely that he does not play, at least on Monday. Now, a couple of thoughts went through my mind. We touched on one of them before the Penguins news broke about how they've backfilled at that position well enough to where this doesn't feel like a catastrophic loss if it's just for a game or two. Another thought I had was, could you imagine the outrage, A, if they still had players like Cassius Marsh and Taco Charlton behind TJ Watt instead of somebody like Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig? And what if he was actually having a great season? What if he was having a Miles Garrett season where the guy already had 19 or 20 sacks?
So he's having what people would say is his most disappointing year because they just paid him $41 million per year, and he only has, what, seven sacks on the season? I know he's impacted games in other ways, but he hasn't been quite that same player. For sure, but...
What are the key matchups in the Steelers vs. Dolphins game?
The loss, I think, will be felt, even at the beginning of that Ravens game. Man, he brought the hammer at least twice on Derrick Henry, and I thought discouraged, helped to discourage the Ravens from running as much as they could have early in that game. They fall into that trap so much, too, and I think that's one of the big bugaboos for John Harbaugh, and that's something that... When he eventually gets let go as the Ravens head coach, who knows when that will be. But I think you can circle back to a lot of big games they've had where they have just avoided Derrick Henry. And they've panicked early in games where they fall behind by 7 or 10 points. And they neglect giving the football to the most dangerous running back, I would probably say, in this generation.
I mean, he's somebody that will... I think Derrick Henry is a player bound for the Hall of Fame. I don't know if other people want to put him that far. 100%?
How significant is Derek Harmon's role in the Steelers' defense?
If he's retired today, I think he's a top 10 running back of all time. Who in the history of the league is that combination of power and speed? Well, I'm glad you're on my side. I am too, Donnie. I'm on your side. Yeah, because I know that it always puts people up in arms if you want to throw somebody prematurely into the Hall of Fame. They neglect him for whatever reason. You'll notice in games where – The Cincy game before that. Yes. He will touch the football like 10 to 13 times, and they'll be like, oh, man, this game got away from us.
Are the Ravens experiencing issues this season?
I wonder why. And then you think back to a playoff game last year against Pittsburgh – He touched the football plenty in that game, and they put up almost 300 yards rushing. Did he ever.
