DJ reacts let's give it up for DJ in the chat give it up for DJ in the chat give up those DJs show my man some love here first time super chatter let's give him some Rick Flair drip wo he says I think we land IU people are saying they're close to a deal for weeks I just don't believe the smoke 49ers been trying to control the narrative yeah I mean it's just it's going to be interesting to see I would say it's more of like a coin flip at this point um you know and I don't think that a lot of people absolutely know what's going to happen with him um you know I think that auk wants to be a 49er I think the 49ers want him to be uh want him to be back but I think they both want to do it on their own terms and neither is willing to budge so something's going to have to give here somebody's either going to have to Cave or some or they're just going to have to do the trade to Pittsburgh so I think we're I think we're all sick and tired of it at this point I know that you know we've probably done at least 50 Brandon iuk videos this offseason Alone um so it'll be interesting to see what happens I mean I'm not I'm not somebody that necessarily thinks the Steelers need him um I think van Jefferson has done a really good job Pat Pat Frou is a good really good receiving tight end I think Calvin Austin I third has done a good job and I think Roman Wilson's the future at the wide receiver two position so if they land him great if not I'm not really too worried about it uh Coop we ready to get things going today my friend let's do it all right let's get into our first segment today the latest news and rumors surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers [Music] welcome into Steelers talk I am your host Jack Sperry and today we have a loaded edition of Steelers news and rumors to cover right here on the show first up I'm going to tell you why I'm not worried about Russell Wilson being the starting quarterback of the Pittsburg Steelers at least not yet and then also there's a crazy trade rumor from ESPN's Mike Tannon bomb saying that the Steelers should trade Russell Wilson and then sign Ryan tanah hill I'll let you guys know my thoughts on that later in today's show and then make sure you guys stick around for the absolute latest on the Brandon iuk situation as we stand here today now our record here at Steelers talk for the most likes on a video in the month of August is 1,864 we did it last year I'm trying to break that record today on today's show help us get to like 2,000 likes all right I really do appreciate your guys' support if you click that

like what we do and you want more Steelers fans to uh become acclimated with our community here I really would appreciate if you click that thumbs up icon okay now let's get into the juice today and first up here I'm not really worried about Russell Wilson I know there's a lot of talk about oh Russell Wilson was terrible in his first preseason game oh he's totally washed you know we have to go with Justin Fields now and I understand why people are speaking that way they're frustrated that in five offensive drives the Steelers scored zero points with Russell Wilson under Center but the reason why I'm not worried at least not yet is that I watched the film here I watched the all 22 and I broke it down and I did my charting and I thought given the circumstances that Russell Wilson was put in he actually showed some pretty darn good processing and execution of the concepts that Arthur Smith was giving to him on and in the situations that he was being put in based on my charting he made the right decision with the football nine out of 10 times the only one where I thought he could have done something different was that he was in empty George Pickins was lined up against a linebacker one-on-one in the slot and instead he throws a hitch route to Van Jefferson and it gets broken up by the cornerback if I were Russell Wilson in that in that opportunity and you got George Pickins lined up one-on-one on a linebacker I'm throwing it to him almost 100% % of the time and then out of all 10 throws that he had I thought that he made a good executed play on eight of out of the 10 uh the one play that I thought was the right call but it was inaccurate was that one to George Pickins it was just outside of the white which is not where you want to place the football George came down with it because he's a freak of nature and he's got a 99 overall spectacular catch rating uh in Madden with that with with that type of catch but overall I thought it was a pretty high level of execution from Russ Wilson and he did what the offense wanted him to do the problem was that the offense wasn't staying on schedule what the Steelers want to do they want to get decent yardage on first and second down so that they can get into manageable third down situations so that Russ can uh can execute but what they were doing is that they were getting into third and long situations which have a very low success rate no matter who the quarterback is all right so you look at the problems that the Steelers were going through they gave up three quick pressure sacks and bro Jones really really had a tough time uh you know get it staying in front of Gregory rouso we all know that we we've covered that extensively also they had multiple tackle for losses in the Run game I think this is something that gets glassed over a lot because of the sacks and because Russell Wilson was the quarterback but there was a lot of tackle for loss in the Run game and that needs to be fixed if the Steelers are going to have success and also they had multiple penalties Darnell Washington had a had a holding penalty there was multiple false starts on the Steelers offense with Russell Wilson in there and none of those things are on Russell Wilson right all those things are on things that he can't control but yet it was putting him in these kinds of situations on third Downs all right so he faced six total third Downs in the entire game on six on two of those six he had a quick pressure sack so he had so he had no chance of picking up the first down five of those at least third and long so that's third and seven or longer four of those six was third and very long which is third and 10 or longer okay so he was put in some really bad situations and in the oneth third and manageable situation he was put in he converted a first down on a throw over the middle of the field to Van Jefferson so Russell Wilson showed you put him in a third and manageable situation instead of a super low uh success rate third and very long situation he showed that he can be that game manager quarterback that the Steelers brought him into to be he also completed all four attempts on those third Downs so he was definitely efficient with uh on that final down there and I do expect that this offense is going to be more on schedule moving forward or at least I really hope so I hope those penalties start to go away I hope that the holding penalties stop I hope that the Run game gets going right I really hope that this offense and the surrounding cast can support Russell Wilson because we have to remember why the Steelers brought this guy in in the first place they didn't bring him in to be the star they didn't bring him in to make all these crazy plays that he used to make with the Seattle Seahawks back when he was competing for MVP TR trophies they're bringing him in as a high functioning veteran game manager that protects the football and takes what the defense gives him and that's exactly what his job is guys is to execute the offense I thought he did that pretty darn well on Saturday getting the ball to the open receivers protect the football he did that very well as well getting it to open receivers not throwing it into super tight windows on Third and very long putting the ball In Harm's Way throw the Deep ball when it's there he did that to George Pickins on the one one-on-one opportunity he had the entire night and then win games late and obviously he wasn't playing late in the game and it's a preseason game right and he led the league last year in fourth quarter comebacks and he's one of the most clutch quarterbacks in the history of the game so I absolutely believe Russell Wilson can still do all of these things that the Steelers are asking him to do and when you look at what the Steelers want to win with right this is their winning formula this is what they want to do to win as many games as possible this year they want to dominate on defense they're paying uh more than anybody else in football for that defense that's going to be their main endr they also want to control the ball so you need a quarterback that's not going to turn the ball over not going to throw interceptions Russell Wilson does that you want to wear down opposing defenses with the Run game Naji Harris and Jaylen Warren if they're healthy one of the best running back Duos in the league and then also throw the Deep off of play action which we know Russell Wilson can still do as well and then deliver in the clutch uh which we know Russ can do as well so listen man when it comes to this winning formula I think that Russ's skill set fits better than Justin Fields now Justin is a different type of player right he's somebody that can maybe carry an offense a little bit more but the Steelers feel like their roster is already good enough they just need somebody that's going to be a high functioning game manager in there that can be clutch that can throw the Deep ball when asked to be but the Steelers are not asking Russell Wilson to be the reason why they are winning football games they're just trying to have a quarterback that they're not losing because of like with Kenny picket last year with the accuracies he was dealing with but however on the other hand okay if the offensive line is going to be as bad as it was on Saturday giving up as much quick pressure as they did if brodric Jones is playing and he is awful if Troy Fano gets his chance and he's bad and he's giving up big pressure I think that if this offensive line stinks the best quarterback to play is Justin fields and the reason for that is because he has shown throughout this preseason that he can make those plays when things break down and Russell Wilson at this point in his career is isn't as athletic as he once was can't move around as well as he once did and right now I think Justin Fields absolutely uh can create more off schedule than Russell Wilson so if this offense is going to be forced to play that brand of football I think Justin Fields will be the answer at that point so let me know down there in the comments section who starts more games this year for the Pittsburgh Steelers type RW if you still think Russell Wilson or if you think Justin Fields is going to start more games for the black and gold this year type JF for me down there in the the comment section for today's pin comment YouTube's going to throw an ad break here in just a couple of seconds and when that happens take advantage of that time by answering today's pin question so now let's move over to Mike Tannon bomb here former NFL GM for the Jets and dolphins currently an NFL analyst for ESPN uh where he says that the Pittsburgh Steelers should trade Russell Wilson and sign Ryan tanah Hill all right I'm going to break down what he had and what he said on get up earlier today it's quite crazy if you ask me but before we get into that let's have a word from our sponsor here at game time which is the fastest and easiest way to buy tickets for the sports music comedy and theater in your area and we all know that experiencing a sporting event especially a

bottom right of your screen for $20 off your first purchase terms apply again create an account and redeem code chat sports one word all caps chat sports for $20 off so now let's get into this crazy trade idea from Mike Danon bomb uh he went on get up this morning on ESPN this is what he had to say about trading Russell Wilson to the Minnesota Vikings a win-win here is to trade Russell Wilson to Minnesota I think Russ is a better quarterback than Sam darnold then he goes on to say Ryan tanah Hill is still a free agent guys and you go back to the two years Ryan tanah Hill spent with Arthur Smith they had an unbelievable two-year run let him come into Pittsburgh and initially back up Justin fields and and maybe you pick up an additional third or fourth round pick after you trade Russell Wilson so this is essentially what the trade would look like for Mike tanon bomb here fourth round pick and Ryan tanhill come to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Russell Wilson gets sent to the Minnesota Vikings all right this seems a little weird to me let me know what you guys think down there in the comments section would you accept this trade give me an A or give me a d for accept or decline obviously you're signing tanah Hill in free agency that's why we have the fa on there he would not be a part of any trade but let me know would you make this swap if you were the Pittsburgh Steelers a for except D for decline now the reason why I think this is dumb okay is that if the Steelers wanted Ryan tanel over Russell Wilson they already had the chance to do that during NFL free agency but they opted to go with Russell Wilson as their quarterback this year over Justin fields too by the they chose him over Justin Fields trading for him initially and then they chose him over Ryan tan so the fact that now they're going to switch course and they're going to trade Russell Wilson to a different team before he even takes a regular season snap with them um it just doesn't make any sense I mean frankly Mike I don't understand what what where you're even coming from with this I mean Russell was Pittsburgh's plan A before Justin Fields even arrived remember their initial plan was to go with Russell Wilson and Kenny picket until Kenny picket was a crybaby and demanded himself out of Pittsburgh and then they're like all right fine we'll trade for Justin Fields but Russell Wilson's their plan right now man I think that's pretty apparent that's been apparent for a while um however I don't necessarily think a trade is impossible all right now I don't think it's going to be to the Vikings and I don't think it's going to be before this season but I could potentially see a scenario where Russell Wilson gets traded before the trade deadline all right and the way that happens is if he loses the job all right if he loses his starting job to Justin fields which let's acknowledge it is a possibility at this point in time if the Steelers get out of the gate cold if they're losing footb games if things aren't working with Russell Wilson they're going to eventually go to Justin Fields And if that happens before the trade deadline it wouldn't shock me if Russ is like trade me to Minnesota or trade me to Las Vegas trade me somewhere where I can play so if Russell Wilson loses his job to Justin fields and there's a team out there willing to trade a mid- round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for him I absolutely think it's possible Russell Wilson could be traded this year so let me know what you guys think down there in the comments section percent chance Russ Wilson gets traded this year put it on a scale of 0 to 100 for me down there in the comments section for me personally I'm going to go about 15% that might seem High um and I think that he's more likely to get traded at this point than Fields right if Russell Wilson starts the season as the starter and plays well I don't think the Steelers trade justtin Fields all right I think they still view him as a potential long-term option but if you're going to Justin Fields you're pretty much saying Russ you know we're already on to the Future all right so I think if any of these quarterbacks gets traded this year it's going to be Russell Wilson and maybe I'm a little high with the 15% number here um but I do think it's an interesting situation if Fields does take over I do think we start talking about Russell Wilson trade destinations here on the channel now before we talk about Brandon auk and the latest surrounding him make sure you guys click that subscribe button if you haven't already for daily Steelers videos right here on YouTube 100% free if something happens say they trade for Brandon iuk or if they trade Russell Wilson to the Minnesota Vikings at Mike tanon bomb we we will be going live here on the channel so we got weekly live shows we got weekly watch parties for every Steelers game this is the largest individually run Steelers YouTube channel uh on YouTube so make sure you guys click that subscribe button right now and join the 57,000 strong already subscribed to the channel now before we go here let's let's talk a little bit about iuk and I know people are tired of this trust me I'm tired about talking about this because it just seems like it goes on and on and on and there's still no resolution all right but people want answers as to why this is holding up for so long why this is taking so long to get a resolution and the reason why the holdup is taking so long is because auk and the 49ers both want to get a deal done with each other but it seems like both have terms that they are not willing to move off of um and they're just hoping that the other side caves and right now neither side is caving um and it just seems like there's a lot lot of things going on I think Brandon actually wants a relatively fully guaranteed contract he wants guarantees going into the final year of his contract which isn't normal on a normal NFL contract so that seems to be the holdup right now um so I'm definitely looking at this situation right now as you know it's great if the Steelers pull it off I think they have their price that they're willing to pay for them uh but Omar Khan's chilling right now I think they like van Jefferson I think they like Calvin Austin the third I think they like the future of Roman Wilson I think they think Pat firemouth can be a very viable receiving weapon for them this year so this gets more contentious by the day between iuk and the 49ers the longer this thing drags on in my opinion the more likely he becomes a Pittsburgh stealer uh and we're starting to approach a moment here where the Pittsburgh Steelers need to make a decision like do they even want to bring in Brandon iuk if you're go gonna get him less than a week before the start of the season I mean they have to start answering these questions like are we approaching a point where Omar k says you know what we're going to lower our our tradeoffer here because this guy's not going to have an opportunity to uh build chemistry with Justin fields and Russell Wilson I mean it's going to be an interesting situation we hope that there's a res resolution relatively soon here guys but let me know what you guys think down there in the comments section where will iuk be playing football this year type SF or San Francisco or type pit if you think the Pittsburgh Steelers thanks for making it to the end of today's show guys really do appreciate your support make sure you click that subscribe button for more Steelers news and rumors coverage every single day for free right here on YouTube got some super chats rolling and vibing with the dogs coming in with a $5 Super Chat says look I don't like either guy but the excuses for Russ and not Justin is wildfields was 6 for seven for 68 yards with the first team Russ had 47 yards I mean I said the same things about Fields after the first game that I'm saying about Russ 100% we kept it fair all right like I I said Justin Fields not uh not responsible for the fumbled snaps Justin Fields not responsible for the third down sacks all right I said it was an incomplete study which is true cuz like Russell Wilson most of it was Deacon and dunking no question um but I I I think I've been fair with these guys all right I think I have I it's my personal opinion Russ fits what this team wants out of their quarterback more than Justin um but I have praised Justin when he's done good stuff just look at my Twitter I got a bunch of Clips on there of me praising Justin fields and some of the throws he's had in Camp and I've tried to be fair with these guys um but the reality is Justin has not lit it up in the preas not man I mean if you guys know the QB School jto Sullivan he's putting out a video today ripping Justin fields's week 2 preseason performance because it wasn't Perfect all right it was he was turning down open receivers he was holding the ball for too long it's a lot of the same issues that we saw from in in Chicago are still there if he had lit it up we would be having a different conversation right now oh yeah I mean but we're not if he would have lit it up I mean here's the here's the reality okay Justin field I mean we could talk about Russell Wilson Oh not scoring points with the first team offense in that one game but Justin Fields has scored three points and way more time exactly in this in this preseason so if if it's about results it's not like Justin Fields is getting the ball in the end zone it's not like uh he's delivering and he's lighting it up and Russell Wilson sucks like that's not what the reality is all right Kiran cold coming in here my man Kiran says sorry had to remove a dog from the neighbors was it your dog yeah was it yeah was it your dog Kiran let us know it's all good Kiran it's good to know that you're here uh by the way Kiran um in case you missed it Kiran here is the brand new Steelers talk gong look look how shiny it is man the other one's all beat up that's ours this one's brand new and this one's only for Steelers talk uh I had to watch Mitchell Ren this over to me today and it it was a lot of fun man oh baby we've got the two whales in the chat Platinum 666 with a $50 Super Chat he says F Raiders hello kgen cold back together again man Platinum we missed you on Saturday man the real goats we missed you on Saturday okay so I did you received a venmo I received one venmo okay I received one venmo I will send it your way oh L Luke ask you in the chat vibing with the dog Steelers Jack Steelers Jack says he's watching 28 minutes behind so Kiran says uh donations aren't working Cassie s oh okay so I just okay never mind never mind we're good yep we got there we go we got Platinum 666 coming in with the 9 venmo Platinum coming in with a $9 venmo and he says kgen cold let's go baby let's go and by the way uh I I I do want to say this Dylan lowski sent a message on his earlier venmo congrats to you and Cassie on your seveny year anniversary uh so good stuff from there Dylan appreciate you man uh Cassie and I we going to be going out to dinner tonight at the best steak house in Dallas we're very excited about it you hunger strike today I did I didn't have lunch today Cassie and I did go have breakfast a nice breakfast this morning biscuit bar um but uh didn't have lunch today and our reservation's at 8:30 so it's going to be a little while here and I'm going to be hungry but should I ban Caleb Herzog from the chat he said L Coupe L Coupe yeah what does that mean or for I don't I don't think so Caleb you better watch yourself so uh we've got a $69 venmo coming in from K C and he says Russ can't move and you know what I'll say about this and Russ it's not that he can't move necessarily it's that he can't move as well as he once did and he can't move as well as fields and that is that is perfectly Fair yeah cuz Fields is the best rushing quarterback in the NFL yeah and I mean Justin Fields is the best rushing quarterback in the NFL but I I I I highly recommend later tonight guys you go check out the QB School jto breakdown of Justin fields's performance in week two because he's going up against backups and he's still taking way too long to get through his reads he's missing open guys down the field and instead still holding on to the football now he'll come out and make a great throw on the run and he'll make a good running play and like I said in that segment Coupe if the offensive line is as bad as it was on Saturday you have no choice but to play Justin Fields oh absolutely but I think the offensive Line's going to get better F town is going to be back here soon Zack Frasier has been awesome in pass protection I still trust James Daniels and Isaac sealo and Dan Moore Jr has actually played really well uh as a pass protector in the preseason so like the weak Link in pass protection it's one name and one name only it is broadrick Jones brri Jones gave up the quick pressure on all three of Russell Wilson sacks last week all right he gave up more uh uh quick pressure against Justin Fields when he was the qb1 back in the first week of the preseason broadrick Jones is a big problem right now and I'm hoping that when Troy fanu gets back that problem goes away whether whether with broadrick moving over to the left side and he starts playing better or he just sits the bench because he stinks right but either way I'm hoping the problem gets fixed $2 Super Chat from vibing with the dog says congrats to and Cassie I appreciate you vibing thank you so much I just got two venmo alerts by the way and then we got a $5 Super Chat from bb23 he says Justin Fields had a had a 17 consecutive game stretch where he scored 34 touchdowns 4200 yards with a 92 plus QB rating over 30 Games 17 G 17 consecutive game stretch where he scored 34 touchdowns 4,200 yards with a 92 plus QB rating listen man I I'm not an I'm not an anti- Justin Fields guy but he's got warts in his game he does all right oh yeah um you know I think that it's a lot easier to start the season with Russ the veteran and then if he's not working out then you go to Justin Fields whereas you go to Justin fields and you have to go to Russ you completely ruin the kid's confidence right I think that's a part of it too um Justin you know I think he's more turnover prone which is something that Steelers do not want they want their quarterback to be something along the lines of what Kenny picket was able to do last year Koop and protect the football um they want their guy to be a game manager now whether or not they should want that is Up For Debate but they want their number one highest paid defense to be the main driver of Victory they want uh a heavy Run game under Arthur Smith all right they want their quarterback to throw the Deep ball they want them to take care of the football and to be accurate all right the two things that Justin Fields has had a hard time doing protecting the football and being accurate with the football he holds on to the ball too much as well so like I I think Justin Fields is a fantastic Plan B option where if things aren't working plan a Russell Wilson then you go to Justin fields and he's got the dynamic playmaking ability he's got the rushing ability right you can really do some fun creative things with Justin Fields I'm not against going to Fields eventually but unless Russell Wilson is just absolutely God awful which he wasn't on Saturday in my opinion um you got you got you got to stick you got to stick with them okay so we do have uh a lot of venos coming in here so we'll get to these as soon as we possibly can appreciate everybody in the chat right now we will get to more content here in a moment as well coming up next is going to be my preview of week three of the preseason season let me get two of these yeah cool all right so we got multiple venos coming in here Coupe had the step out for a second so we'll be we'll be getting these rocking here in a second I see DJ reacts I'm sorry DJ uh I don't I I can't put you on screen here because cp's not here but DJ will'll get it up on screen here in a second he says I think we land auk people saying they're close to a deal for weeks I just don't believe the smoke I agree man I mean I guess what I you know I'm hoping I really am hoping okay so we got the preview coming up Coupe had to step out he had to go get something real quick but we got some venmo alerts coming up uh we got Kiran cold says hi Cassie love y'all Yin we got Damen Roy in here uh we've got Caleb Herzog we got Steelers dad in here got limy got Tim bayana so listen man this is what I'll say I think I think what the Steelers are going to do is they're going to put Russell Wilson out there at qb1 he was once again listed as the qb1 on the depth chart and you know they're going to try to see if they can give him a better surrounding because like we like we talked about in the last segment they had six third Downs four of them were in fourth and or third in very long all right the conversion rate on Third and very long is like less than 10% all right so the idea that Russell Wilson was going to go out there and light it up with the defense playing back and being put in those terrible situations I mean I just don't know what the expectations are and Coupe just saw some of the venmo alerts and started laughing so listen man I just want this team to play the best it can possibly play and I'm just hoping that people aren't overreacting to to uh to two quarters in a preseason game when it comes to the quarterback situation and uh I just hope that whoever the quarterback is for this team and I'm going to be supporting whoever this team rolls with I really hope whoever that guy is is that they can lead this team to a playoff run and they can win a playoff game with this team all right because that's the goal that's the goal to finally break that streak of of Seasons without a playoff win this is a roster that is capable of winning I truly believe that I think the offensive line is GNA start getting better and uh when that happens I think they're going to be on schedule more often and Russell Wilson's going to start playing way better or and the offense is going to be starting to play way better all right we'll get to some of these venmo alerts here uh we got we got two $666 venos from my man Kiran cold or actually it was just one my bad just one it was just one just one and he said uh pick a new black diamond okay and the reason why he is saying well we we'll do that in just a moment Kiran should which one do we want to go with first do we want to go Kiran first go go kran first okay all right man and the reason why

watching out for let's get into it right now welcome into Steelers talk I am your host Jack Sperry and today I have my week three preseason preview for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they get ready to take on the Detroit Lions uh in the final preseason game of the 2024 preseason now we will be going live for this game we'll have an hour pregame coverage live playby playay and then also postgame

all season long every time the Steelers play a game we're going live for it preseason regular season and hopefully postseason for the black and gold this year so make sure you click that subscribe button to join our family and never miss a live watch party okay so now my preview for this game first thing first and foremost the thing that's obviously going to be on in front and center in this football game is which quarterback comes out on top in terms of who wins the starting quarterback position for the Pittsburgh Steelers to start this year and obviously it is between Justin fields and it is between Russell Wilson it looks like Russell is going to get the first team reps again on Saturday um and Justin Fields is going to get the second team reps okay but make but make no bones about it coach Mike Tomlin has not made an official decision he has not officially made up his mind and if he has made up his mind he hasn't let us know which way this team is going to be going at qb1 when this team lines up against the Atlanta Falcons in week one however I do think going into this game the biggest ex factor in determining who's going to play that week one matchup is how Russell Wilson plays because he has been in the pole position throughout this entire process he is still listed as the qb1 on the Steelers depth chart so if he goes out there and he plays well he keeps the offense on schedule he gets into the end zone he looks sharp he looks clean he looks like he's ready to go I think he's going to be locking up that number one quarterback job however if the offense stalls again like they did last week against Buffalo uh constant three and outs no points scored very few uh first downs that's going to give Justin Fields an opportunity once again to come in and light it up I didn't think he made the most of his opportunity uh when when he came in against the Buffalo Bills last week he had some really poor reps on film in my opinion had some really good stuff too but I do think he had some tough uh he had some tough plays in that game against backup quality players uh however if he comes out and if he follows up Russell Wilson stinking it up with him lighting up the place I think that that's probably the one way he could become the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in week one here but what's that you guys let me know down there in the comments section will Russ lead a touchdown drive this Saturday with the first team offense give me a yes or a no for today's pin comment YouTube's going to throw an ad break here in just a couple of seconds uh but before or or and when YouTube sends you that ad break give me a yes or a no and answer today's pin question another thing I'm really going to be watching this week is broadrick Jones because you know you look at the pass blocking grades of all the other offensive linemen on the first team uh for the Pittsburgh Steelers Dan Mo Jr Isaac SEO Zack fras James Daniels they're actually pretty good the one person that's really really bad is brri Jones and when you watch the film it's the same story Brodrick Jones is getting beat like a drum whether it's on the right side or whether it's on the left side here are his uh preseason Pro Football Focus grades and listen Pro Football Focus isn't gospel but it is a nice tool to see just how maybe productive somebody is uh on film so 51.4 overall grade is really really bad the Run blocking grade if you believe it is worse than the past blocking grade he's supposed to be a a mauling run blocking type right tackle and he hasn't been able to do either to this point you look at the pass block great against Buffalo last week where he gave up three quick pressure sacks against Greg rouso um and it's 40.8 right and that just looks terrible uh for brri Jones and he needs to play better and if he doesn't look better he said to the media this week that he is as healthy as he's going to be this season so if that's true and he doesn't look better and he continues to give up quick pressure you have to sit him right you just can't afford to put somebody out there that is put that is giving up that much quick pressure in that amount of time you just can't do it and honestly broad's issues right now they go beyond just playing right tackle right I hear a lot of people say oh just moving over to left tackle he'll be just fine and I do think he's more comfortable over there and I think you know he will play somewhat better if he gets moved over there but his hand placement is awful his footwork is awful right the the there's certain things here that he's showing on film that are just not fixable by just moving somebody over to the other side especially when the current left tackle for the Steelers right now Dan Moore Jr is actually playing pretty darn well his pass blocking grade is at an 85.7 his uh offensive line coach during the off Seasons Duke manyweather who's the most World Famous offensive line coach on the planet said that he had an excellent off season this year and he was one of the best people that worked out with him this off season so Dan Moore Jr's been really impressive so brri Jones has to prove that he deserves to be on the field and he needs to do it this weekend it's going to be a big week for bradrick Jones if he doesn't show out I think there's at least a chance he gets sat down once Troy Fano does come back from that injury now coming up here on Steelers talk four more storylines to watch in this week three preseason matchup for your Pittsburgh Steelers but before we get into

create an account and use code chat sports that's one word all caps chat sports for $20 off your first purchase terms apply again create an account and redeem code chat sports for $20 off another thing I'm going to be watching out for here this week is whether or not Zack Frasier is ready to be this team's starting center week one now what I'll say to this point is that the kid's been a stud in pass protection all right his pass blocking grade right now through the first two weeks of the preseason absolutely Stellar the anchor has been there uh the footwork and the technique has certainly been there this guy is a legit NFL pass protector from the center position however there are still some warts as a run blocker he gave up multiple tackles for losses uh against against the bills last week and you look at the Pro Football Focus grading it certainly backs up the tape all right the overall grade is 63.5 it's not terrible but it's definitely dragged down by the Run blocking grade at just a 58.4 and then against Buffalo it was even worse at 45.7 when he gave up multiple tfl so that's the area of his game where he still needs to prove himself I think you know a concern of mine with his ever go ever since going back to West Virginia is I'm I wasn't sure he was a great fit for a wide zone offense like the Pittsburgh Steelers he just doesn't have the elite quick twitch that you want from a center in this type of offense but hey man uh he's smart he's tough he's Dependable as a pass protector now he just needs to finish off his profile here with a good performance as a run blocker against the Detroit Lions then we get to beanie Bishop Jr here who did not play in the Buffalo Bills game but he did against the Texans in week one of the preseason and he didn't exactly play great or you look at the overall grade of 51.5 not fantastic the coverage grade uh sitting below that at 51.2 he gave up some pretty big plays he admitted that he didn't have his best game that week um and you know not being there in week two definitely didn't help his stock either so right now the slot cornerback battle it's going to be won by either beanie Bishop Jr or Thomas Graham Jr who got the first team reps in the slot last week I think Thomas Graham Junior's had a really good camp so I don't think that this job is necessarily locked in for Beanie Bishop Jr but make no mistake beanie's got the inline Road here he's got pole position if you will and if he goes out there and plays well shows that he's that he belongs on an NFL field this weekend I think he'll be your starting slot corner for the Pittsburgh Steelers week one against Atlanta now make sure you guys click that thumbs up icon if you haven't already if you can't wait for the season like we uh currently feel here at Steelers talk man we feel like this is going to be a special season for the Pittsburgh Steelers whether it's Russell Wilson or Justin Fields under Center and if you're with us every step of the way here and you're a real one make sure you click that thumbs up icon and help today's video another thing I'm going to be watching out for here Mark Robinson had a really really good week last week he was one of the lone bright spots on the Steelers roster against the bills if I'm being honest with you he made plays in special teams he was flying around he made a really good play couple good plays uh in pass coverage made some good plays as a run Defender um I'm really looking forward to seeing how he plays this weekend especially pton Wilson dealing with something here Cole hul of course is still out that's going to give Mark some opportunities here okay so I think he's going to play a lot I'm hoping to see the same spark that I saw from him last week at aurer Stadium now and then the final thing I've talked about this every single uh preview during the preseason who's going to come up with the edge four job okay because right now you got four people that are all vying for that final position Kiren Johnson I think has the inline road right now Jeremiah moon is certainly somebody that could win the job as well and then two udfas that have really shown out in Camp in preseason to this point Julius wiof and jacobe Whitman both of which have had really good uh camps in preseason like I said so my get my best guess here is that I think Kiron Johnson will be the fourth Edge rusher that's rostered here I think that Jeremiah Moon Julius well shof jomi windman those guys could certainly make the practice squad as well but Kiron brings a certain level of explosiveness uh you know in First Step quickness that you just don't see every day so I think you got TJ watt Alex heisi Nick herig locked in I think this weekend Kiron Johnson solidifies himself as the edge number four okay guys make sure you click that subscribe button if you haven't already again we're going to be going live 1200 PM Eastern uh for the Saturday afternoon game Steelers versus Lions it's the last

jackberry cash app at moneys sign captain jack9 and PayPal PayPal excuse me at captainjack rabbit I love that uh Cassy made your name Captain Jack Rabbit I think that's hilarious so uh I saw somebody comment earlier uh when I was talking about Russell Wilson protects the football better than Justin Fields I saw somebody say you know I think it was vibing with the dogs who by the way I I have no problem with you vibing with the dogs you're one of you're one of our black diamonds I appreciate you but I think it was vibing with the dogs here that said you know that Justin Fields has less turnovers than Russell Wilson over the last two years or last three years since 2021 and I was like I really don't think that's the case because Russell Wilson is top eight all time in interception percentage uh he's known as somebody that protects the football so I just checked the numbers on pro football reference Russ has 4 s combined fumbles and interceptions 47 in the past in the past three years so since Justin has been in the league since 2021 Justin Fields has 68 so that is 21 more turnovers than just than Russell Wilson over the last three years and by the way 38 fumbles for Justin Fields doesn't uh 38 fumbles doesn't Wilson have like a top 10 interception percentage like top 10 lowest intercep interception percentage ever yeah yeah Russell Wilson's interception percentage for his career is 1.9 which is eigh all time that's crazy so this is somebody that protects the football and this is why the Steelers brought him in is because he doesn't throw the ball into Super Tight Windows right he's very careful with the ball because he understands turnovers equal losses oh yeah so I think I think what vibin with the dogs was uh was mentioning is negative plays so when you take into account sacks with fumbles with interceptions negative plays Russell Wilson has I think just slightly more than Justin Fields cuz he's taken so many sacks that makes sense but like you remember there with Denver I mean there was years with Nathaniel Hackett uh of course with Seattle his final year in Seattle he took a bunch of sacks because they had no offensive line um you know he's certainly somebody that hold that holds on to the ball a bit in his career but he holds on to the ball um so be update me on that ven Mo all right do want the total no you just got a new one I got a new one yeah let me see oh we did okay we do have two more venos here and then we will get into our mailbag so keep getting those questions in oh my oh my is correct there we go nice oh [ __ ] I put it in production I'm an idiot oh my gosh okay I will resend these coup I saw them anyway but that's funny as hell okay you you get you get it now the whole company knows what venos we just got yeah I just I just sent what what the amount of venos we just got uh to the entire company well they were about to find out anyway so uh do you want to stay here and for some really loud noises we got producer Sam executive producer Brown he doesn't want to be a part of the fun plattinum Sam hates fun Sam hates fun he also but you know what else he hates he hates Russell Wilson too because he Russell Wilson kind of effed his fraudulent uh Denver Broncos but you know what man this one roll in from PL 666 here we go steers there we go here we go steers there we go here we go deers here we go it's a venmo volcano here on saor Doc here on a Wednesday Platinum 666 donating another Black Diamond here let's go he says Oli the reaper you are a black diamond let's go Ali D I mean this is a this is's a pretty easy Black Diamond sticker here Mr coup in my opinion oh yeah that's that's an easy one no doubt about it oi what's good TR Reaper all right so Ali you are now a black diamond member unbelievable so so BP I I saw Bop and listen I love beep all right he is a Justin Fields guy and that's okay all right I I have no qualms with anybody that that wants Justin fields to play okay none at all we're all Steelers fans here uh but he I believe he said that r that Justin Fields doesn't throw interceptions he's thrown thir in the last three years okay also shout out to Derek Smith with a 30 Oh Derek Smith coming in with a 30 you've got to love it you've got to love it Derek I appreciate you my friend Derrick's always coming in with like the 30 pieces or the 25s or the 50s Derek you're

interceptions per year isn't that much that's fair that's fair okay but you also have to you also have to realize it's not in that many games all right because this is including his rookie year where he only played 10 games and last year when he only played 13 so when it comes to throwing interceptions per pass attempt it's a lot more than Russell Wilson true that um all right just got a venmo and we are not going to want to go to the next segment for this one oh no there we go I'm going to have to hydrate for this one real quick hydrate or diedrate my friend guys I can't wait for this steak

we're getting close to 50 let me I can look yeah CP can check if we're not at 50 we're very close coming into to today and we've added four today we've got to be getting close to 50 we're already over 50 we're already over yeah we're at like 53 right now we're at 53 we passed 50 today um so that's crazy man that is absolutely crazy uh so Platinum says seven years looks like a keeper you you let's just get into the mailbag before sper gets in trouble let's get into the mail bag here guys I appreciate all of you guys man but let's get into the Steelers content here the mailbag is coming at you

shows on Wednesdays 5:30 p.m. Eastern and get your questions in with that I'll pause and open it up for questions starting with DJ reacts $5 Super Chat says I think we land auk people saying they are close to a deal for weeks I just don't believe the smoke 49ers been trying to control the narrative well it's certainly the case Coupe that the 49ers are definitely trying to uh control the narrative here they're trying to put pressure on the Steelers and they've tried it like 10 times at this point and the Steelers aren't budging so at some point the 49ers are just going to have to say all right we have these two options either pay Brandon iuk what he's asking for or trade him to Pittsburgh and they're have to make a decision likely before the start of the season it's going to be interesting to see what they end up deciding here but I agree with DJ that I don't think it's impossible that auk still lands with Pittsburgh going from a new black diamond vibing with the dogs coming in says look I don't like either guy uh I don't like either guy but the excuses for Russ and not Justin is wild Fields was six for seven for 68 yards with the first team Russ had 47 yards well I mean although that's true if George Pickins you know makes the catch I mean you we might be talking about a completely different narrative around Russ And Russ and himself very similar uh game to Justin with the first team offense in my opinion I came on this show and I said which Justin Fields with the first team the two fumbled snaps weren't on him and the two sacks that he took on third down weren't on him all right so I thought Justin um you know played fine in that first preseason game maybe unremarkable but definitely good enough and then Russ goes out there and I thought it very similar I thought he got through his reads quickly he found open receivers it's just that the penalties the quick sacks and the bad Run game put the team behind the sticks so much that the defenses could play back and he was forced to be conservative all right so I don't think that we have a clear view as to which guy has played better Justin kind of struggled if we're being honest in that second preseason game um you know if you want reference to that by the way JT suvan the QB school has a great video out on Justin fields' second preseason performance so you guys can check that out but at the end of the day here ma'am it's about what you guys think here so who starts more games this year type RW if you think Russell Wilson will start more games for the Pittsburgh Steelers this year or type JF anything Justin Fields starts more games this will be the pin comment on today's show sutu going to throw an ad break here in just a couple of seconds when that happens take advantage of that time by answering today's pin question got one from my man Lucas says do you think they will figure out the right side oh I think he's asking the right side of the offensive line and they have to figure out the right tackle right um I don't think Dan Moore Jr is even being considered to move over there he hasn't really practiced over there all off season so it's either going to be brri Jones or it's GNA be Troy Fano and Jerry duac says it's already in stone that futan is going to start at right tackle week one I'm not too sure if I believe that I guess we'll see how broadrick does this weekend but if brri stinks again against the Detroit Lions and makes it three straight preseason games where he's looking awful on top of kind of a blackluster camp in L trobe I think you got to start Troy Fano if he's ready and then probably play Dan Moore Jr at left tackle it's just that's the way it is right now let me on from Christian andar one of our black diamonds says I seen a 2025 mock draft where they have the Steelers drafting Travis Hunter with their first round pick thoughts I mean that would certainly generate Buzz right I I think he's a better Corner than he is a wide receiver um um but who knows how he's going to play this year how much he's developed as a receiver he's still a good receiver he could probably if he wanted to do both maybe he could in the NFL it's going to be interesting to see what he decides to do in what position or positions he decides to play in the league um but very talented individual man um it's going to be interesting to see uh where he is because if he has a phenomenal season like if he wins Heisman Trophy he's goingon to be a top 10 pick hopefully the Steelers aren't drafting that high so I guess we'll see what goes on with Travis Hunter but definitely an interesting situation and I will be in for it come draft season next year now before we get into the rest of today's mailbag let's have a word from our sponsor here at prize pick and prize pick is

veteran tackle um honestly Dan Moore Junior's played well enough in Camp and in the preseason where he would really have to stink for them to bring in a veteran at this point now maybe if Troy F utano and broadrick stink maybe they think about bringing in like a Donovan Smith or something like that um but I think it's a very unlikely possibility that they bring in an offensive tackle here I think that you know they're going to choose between broadrick or Troy uh at right tackle and Dan Moore Jr has certainly played well enough to be the starting left tackle this year in preseason so another thing they could do is they could put broadrick on the left side if they think you know he's the future of that position and they they've certainly said that here in Pittsburgh um so it's going to be interesting to see how they sort things out especially with Fano coming back into the lineup here relatively soon I guess we'll just have to see how everything plays out got another one from Christian andu har here here says I seen a 20 I think we already showed this one coupe with the Travis Hunter so if we can just go to the next question Christian appreciate the question man get those F CPS in the comments section for that mistake then we got one from David memes Master 1205 says do you think Russell Wilson the first team scores a touchdown versus the Lions in the first quarter I'm going to go out of limb here and say yes I hope so I mean I definitely hope so and I'm you know I think that Russell Wilson showed some good things in terms of mental processing he got to his third read a number of times last Saturday now obviously no points and one first down on a pass attempt for Russell Wilson so people are going to look at those numbers and be like he was terrible um but it's my personal opinion that he actually uh got through the offense relatively well and you know I think if you keep the offense on schedule I I think that he's going to have opportunities to do some good things for the Steelers offense this year going one from DJ KJ says what QB do you think will play the remaining preseason games um so pretty much it's I mean they're both going to play the preseason game this weekend right so just Justin and Russ will both play it'll be interesting to see who gets first team reps how much first team reps um and last game against Buffalo they got all the quarterback reps so it'll be interesting to see if Kyle Allen gets in there or if John rice plumbley gets there a little bit um but definitely think both these guys are going to get quite a bit of run then we got one from creamer here says Steel is Jamar Chase an option if auk doesn't work out no he's not um then you know even if the Bengals were to make him available which in my opinion is highly highly unlikely um they're not going to make him available to their arch rival in the Pittsburgh Steelers they're just not so um I honestly think CD lamb is a more realistic possibility for the Steelers than Jamar Chase just because Chase is coming from a division rival right so I would probably X Jamar Chase um if if I were man I just don't see him ever becoming a Pittsburgh stealer unless he's a free agent then we got one from Bob Johnson says uh any Credence to the Tanana Hill rumors [ __ ] no there isn't no there is not I mean Mike tanon bomb I mean respect to him he was the GM of a team that made two straight AFC championship games but Lord knows I have no idea how he did it I mean good this guy goes out there every single month and gives some crazy ass comments on get up U and he makes a big salary doing it uh tanah Hill the thing with tanah Hill guys that the Steelers would have got him they would have got him in free agency instead of Russell Wilson if they would have preferred him so to trade Russ to the Vikings and then pick up Ryan tanhill in free agency this lat to the game makes literally no sense Mike tanom all right so no I do not think Ryan tanah Hill will be a Pittsburgh stealer this year but let me know down there in the comments section what's the percent chance Russ gets traded this season put it on a scale of zero to 100 Coupe I don't think it's impossible I think 15 10% you know if Justin fields takes over as the starter uh trade deadline if there's a team in need of a quarterback I think Russell Wilson as a veteran option could potentially be traded um if he has in fact lost the F the the starting job here in Pittsburgh uh we got young noticeable 25 says JJ teasing a return I don't think he's teasing a return I think he's just visiting his brother he's a big fan of Mike Tomlin if he does decide to come back and by the way I saw some of the pictures of him in Pittsburgh this weekend he looks like he can still play all right he is bigger still than TJ wattt and he TJ's a big guy all right so if JJ wanted to come back I think he'd pick either the Steelers or the Texans um you know seeing him next to TJ watt would be really really cool but if you're asking me if I think it's going to happen I think there's almost a z% chance it actually happens then we got one from Pittsburgh Steelers fan eight says I think it's time to move on from secondary coach Grady Brown do you agree um I don't know man I I don't think I agree with that just yet uh you know Joey Porter Jr has developed quite nicely under Grady um we'll see how he does with Dante Jackson and you know beanie Bishop Jr in this in this defense um right now if there's if there's a position coach that's on the hot seat for me it's Pat Meyer the offensive line coach I know he's well respected in the league for some reason but like he he hasn't developed a good offensive line here in years and there's been multiple flops Kevin doson after leaving his offensive line room and going to Los Angeles becomes one of the highest graded guards in football broadrick Jones has been a train wreck under his tutelage Troy fanu has apparently been uh slow out of the gate under his tutelage so Dan Moore Jr was a big disappointment and and has been right so I think that if there's a if there's a position coach that I want fired I'm probably picking Pat Meyer over a gr a Grady at this point all right guys if you guys want to follow me on X you can find me at jackor Spar you guys can also click that subscribe button for daily Steelers content uh really do appreciate all of your guys' support and until next time here we go Steelers all right so I do have this dinner at 8:30 tonight so we we can't stay on for much longer but CP if you want to put a five minute shot clock on I can manage uh we we'll stay on here for another five minutes if you guys want to send in some uh if you guys want to send in something or you know you guys certainly don't have to but we can just chop it up for 5 minutes we've already already made our quota of a thousand for for to to extend the streak right so we've already extended the streak certainly don't need anything else uh so Ali the reaper if you did if you weren't here for the announcement you are a black diamond now Ali so I appreciate you indeed uh so we must have not been here when we announced it but Ali de Reaper you are a black diamond my friend a courtesy of platinum 666 Platinum says he's leaving for the night Platinum appreciate you my friend you're a real one you know how much we love you we'll see you Saturday get those p666 he's asking what steak do you prefer I prefer it depends how hungry I am uh Platinum if I'm really hungry I might go for a Porter House you know I might I might go for you know I might go for a bigger steak but I'm either a New York shrimp or a ribeye yeah ribey is really good um I like the sirloins too I like the big sirloins those are good but um you know my grandmother's favorite cut of steak was fet mang and she was the one that really introduced me to steak when I was a kid um so filet Min has a very special place in my heart um so tonight I might be getting a filet I mean I guess we'll see I am pretty hungry tonight though PL what kind of sides are you planing on oh definitely uh mushrooms definitely mac and cheese and I'm forget and mash potato puree Dakota's Steakhouse is the best potato puree on the planet it's unbeliev believable uh Luke Nessie says he wants me to get a tomahawk I think they actually do have a tomahawk are expensive but I think it's like $200 just for that stake I'm planning on spending like 200 250 for the entire meal okay so I don't know if the tomahawk is going to happen oh but we do have a venmo alert coming in here let's ride I was going to say be sure to join uh our watch party Saturday 12:00 p.m. Eastern start time an hour before kickoff Steelers Lions final preseason game before the real action begins and you know man I think that if Russell Wilson has the proper help around him okay there's not quick pressure in his lap a number of times right if if there isn't penalties that put the offense behind the line of scrimmage if the Run game gets going the way it's supposed to go um as long as you keep it third and manageable you're all right you're all right with Russell Wilson there was one third and man the entire game on Saturday and he converted it no question so like I you know I think that Russell Wilson is the game manager that the Steelers brought him in to be if you're expecting him to come in here and make magic happen on third and 13 and 14 and 15 like he had to deal with on Saturday I think your expectations for Russell Wilson are out of whack here that's not what they're bringing him in to do that's what Denver brought him in to do and it failed epically the Pittsburgh Steelers are bringing in Russell Wilson to manage the game not turn the ball over he's one of the best at protecting the ball in the game he's got a great deep ball and he's clutched and that is the perfect fit for what the Steelers want out of their quarterback so um you know with all I respect Justin Fields a lot I love his skill set I was a big fan of his coming out of Ohio State and if Russell Wilson doesn't work out I'm going to be behind Justin Fields 100% of the way but I do think you got to give Russell Wilson is fair shock here um and we do have a venmo alert coming in we have another one right now let's do this one first here okay this one's coming at $66 venmo from dere Smith and in his message he says I got to I got to send this for my man Platinum 666 he says had to throw this in here for Mr Platinum 666 thanks again Platinum so big shout out to Derek and by the way that's a 60 Cent at the end of it too I didn't send it but it's a $666 venmill from my man d Smith shout out Derek one of our new black diamonds courtesy of platinum 666 speaking of platinum that was impressive and speaking of platinum 666 this one rolling in from L SE SE SE bye here we go here we go here we goers here we go here we goes we go oh all right so Tim bayana saying I ignored his hashtag Steelers that would be Coupe that ignored your hashtag Steelers there's a reason I ignored it and you will agree for the reason that I ignored it Tim I will put up yours right now don't worry let me uh let me go find it again real quick yeah yeah Tim coup is the one in charge of it okay so let's see it I'll I'll read it right now no I I'll put it on screen here let's put it on screen Tim Tim says Steelers challenging Jack to propose live on stream LOL trust me trust me man when I when I decide to propose to Cassie um it it's not going to be on the show it's going to be on a it's going to be on a much more romantic romantic you know it's not going to be on Steelers talk so listen man you guys mean the world to me and Cassie you guys know that uh but it's not going to be on the show I love it I think this is fantastic by the way we do have a price on the tomahawk at Dakota Steakhouse it is $150 that is a lot that's a lot but that's actually not as bad as I thought that is a lot though I thought it was more than that as well but it's still like $150 stake that's a lot could I could I so Platinum says buy Cassie uh the goddamn filt well Cassie's gonna get whatever she wants I'm GNA pay for whatever she wants so if she wants the tomahawk tonight I'm paying for the tomahawk all right it's a special occasion it's a special occasion for sure all right so uh Platinum sent in the 200 and he says get the filet I kind of like the filet idea man get like an 8 O fillet like a the bigger one yeah cuz I'm hungry but like the fillet plus the sides yeah but like that's the thing the sides are like family style big sides that you like get to bring home that could fill you up so like I think a six like an 8 O fillet you know it's a nice cut it's nice and tender you know and then you get the mac and cheese and you get the mushrooms you get all the good stuff um Platinum says could you do it on the show if you got 20K Platinum Platinum if we make 20K I'll consider it oh my goodness Platinum if we make 20K on a show don't commit to anything I won't commit I won't commit yeah I'm not committing to nothing Platinum but I appreciate you man Cassie says oh this is good Cassie says if you can secret live stream without her knowing you can that's true that's true Steelers talk live proposal oh my gosh that'd be crazy uh so Dom is asking what's going on with Brandon auk we'll just cover this here before we uh finish up so he wasn't at practice today he was not uh I've heard some Rumblings okay this isn't this isn't any reporting or anything I heard the 49ers are very upset with Brandon I oh I'm sure they are I I I'm hearing that the San Francisco 49ers feel like they have been reasonable in their negotiations with auk and he is asking for something that is unreasonable in his contract and that is what's holding it up right now so I don't know what's going to happen it's GNA be it's going to be interesting I guess I'd say it's still a coin flip cuz I have no idea where this is going Coupe I have no idea I have no idea I mean seems like the Steelers you know they gave 49 the 49ers a call like two weeks ago said this is our final offer take it or leave it and then the 49ers haven't called Pittsburgh back since I would lean towards it them getting a deal done and him remaining in San Francisco but that's not to rule out anything I just think that's kind of where we're headed um but yeah I mean the Niners aren't happy with how things have gone it seems like a lot of the major details in their contract that they've kind of ironed out but the years and the guaranteed money they're still a part on and that's why we haven't gotten a deal done yet um iuk hasn't practiced one time during training camp so far and he's kind of just they're both playing just a game of chicken basically and then when it comes down to it they're going to have to decide within the next week or so because real live NFL football begins in a week and do the ners want to be without their number one number two wide receiver I don't think so he's their number one man he is like he's Brock P's favorite weapon so like I've been saying since the beginning it's the smart move to pay him just [ __ ] pay him and then trade Debo next to offseason that's the smart move and and they can get rid of Debo next offseason with zero money against the C exactly so you can just trade Debo like you probably have to trade him for like a lower price tag cuz everyone knows you have to trade you lose you lose your leverage probably get a fourth or a fifth for him depending on the season that he has but you know I'm looking at that situation man and I just don't know and I I I've just gotten to the point where I'm just sitting back and watching all right I'm not going to try to make any more predictions I'm just going to say whenever whenever something happens it's going to happen all right we'll keep you guys updated here on the show whenever things do happen so Eric Weiss says still ignore my question do you know what question he's referring to I do not let me go check and see what you said check Eric Weiss it's a r y k says ignored my question so if anybody ignored your question Derek it would be cool um Eric Eric I don't see one from you Eric Eric put it back into the chat put it back into the chat um if you have if you have a second here but yeah man it's going to be and here's the thing I'm at the point where I don't think the Steelers need to make this move if they make it great it really does take away the question marks with the wide receiver group Eric says why don't we bring in Yanik and G sure up the dline more uh cuz I mean you don't need Yanik and go you don't need him and I'm not sure if he's a great fit because Yanik is a is pretty much a 4-3 defensive he's a big guy um and the The Edge rushers for the Steelers are outside linebackers so they're a little bit lighter uh TJ's a big guy but he's super athletic right so same thing with Alex and also I mean he'd be the fourth guy yeah and he'd be the fourth guy he wants to at least yanuk wants to be at the very little the very smallest third and you you already have wat you already have heith you already have hering yeah so so like listen the guy that they brought in to be that veteran fourth option was Marcus golden and he retired and it seems like they don't really have a lot of interest in anybody else right so it seems to me that um one of the guys that is in the room whether that's Kiron Johnson Jeremiah Moon J Julius welsha one of these guys is going to win the job uh it's just going to be an interesting development to see uh what happens Tim says Jack sure likes throwing coup under the bus it's the truth it's the truth I am on screen doing the show he is in charge of the super chats and the and the and the and the questions in the chat that's what that is his job Tim Jack knows without me this ship could go down the [ __ ] like Titanic oh absolutely I completely understand that without Coupe this show doesn't exist man so you know what to finish up today's show I want people spam Coupe I want I appreciate y'all man I want to give coup some love man big dog 412 says you're a great man coup I love you guys so like today you know it's it's Cassie's day it's you know it's our Ann to Cassie but I want to show some love to our producer
