Why are Steelers fans feeling more optimistic after the Lions win?
On third down. Got it to DK Metcalf. And fighting his way for the touchdown.
What a play by DK. Limits and I just watching angry runs back there with Kyle Brandt. Tremendous segment every week. Mount Washington won it earlier this year. What's happening here, oh limitless wonder. It's uh Puka Nakua, Trey McBride, and Metcalf are the finalists. Who's gonna win?
Yeah, Metcalf was the third finalist. I honestly think the DK has the edge here because he scored a touchdown on the angry run.
Yeah, he did.
It was great plays by Puka running over a man. McBride ran over three, put a shoulder into two guys. But whenever you put points on the board, doesn't that give you a little bit of extra credit for an angry run? Should run? Yeah.
Yeah, I think it should. Listen to Pomp and Joe every Wednesday to hear about Starkey's card of the week from the baseball card castle and cranberry. Contest run every Wednesday through Friday at noon at the 937thefan.com contesting page. And the fifty-minute mark on the fan coming up brought to you by South Hills, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep Ram, Route 19, Peter's Township, Mike Tomlin's news conference. At noon, Nick Farabaugh, top of the hour. We've a lot to talk about. The phone lines are lit like Mallsy in a craft beer house. Like Pony at the carrier dome, like Crowley at Mountaineer Field, and like Benzi jumping off the top rope at a Tomlin news conference. Yes?
Here here is Jerry in Stanton Heights. How are you? How are you?
Malsey at his craft beer house. By the way, did you see Benzi on TV last night? No. Looking like a million bucks. He had the little what do you call the little my my my uh grandfather? He was a cop in Brooklyn. He used to wear a little a little cap.
How did the Steelers’ coaching staff decide to move on from Darius Slay and Juan Thornhill?
Uh like those old like 1920s looking hats? Yeah, little yes, a little a little grandfather cap. It was unbelievable. Spectacles, a grandpa cap. I expected him to be smoking a pipe while he was talking with Andrew Stockman.
the uh TV show.
And Ashley Laotis. She's very good at what she does. Would you agree with that limits? Proud Baldwin alum. Yeah, she's really good. Uh yeah, Benzi, I thought he took t uh center stage on that thing. Didn't you? Benzi always comes off the top rope and does an incredible job. Does. How are you, sir? Hi Jerry. Hey, what's up fellas? Not much. What's going on?
Hey. We gotta give it up to the coaches. Now we've been bashing them, me included. Tomlin and uh the office offensive coordinator uh Smitty. Yeah, the I thought he they he called probably his best game since he's been here.
Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you. Uh great eight grades all the way around last night. I mentioned I love I love the fact Go ahead.
You m you remember that two thousand five theme that We went went to the Super Bowl, we we struggled but we got hot right at the end of the season.
Yeah.
Hopefully hopefully we can follow their path, you know. But I I like the way we look right now.
It's hard not to like the way they looked last night, but again, sort of the theme of the show today, Jerry, is uh until proven otherwise, I think a lot of a lot of us are still in
Yeah, we're still skeptical, no doubt. Yeah.
What credit do Mike Tomlin and the front office get for recent personnel changes?
Yeah. No no doubt. And it's the Kabales of the world and I appreciate the call. It's the Kabales of the world that want to paint us, certain media members and lots of fans as being fly by night, over emotional, week to week, changing with the wind. Like, okay, oh, so last week you're this way, this week you're this way. What a bunch of idiots. All they do is react emotionally. No, everything that happened a couple weeks ago in that Bills game was born of nine years of basically a failure. When you haven't come close to winning a playoff game and going on nine years, your fan base is going to be disgusted and active. Doubt. And two weeks of playing better hardly erases that. And there are some good signs.
I think that's all accurate. The best sign being that Aaron Rodgers looks like a dangerous quarterback right now. Somebody who might go into Detroit and carve up a secondary that's gone. Like the Steelers played the Bears when the Bears had none of their starting linebackers.
