Okay, if you can.

You do that.

Okay.

Thank you.

Who do you have more faith in the Ravens or the Steelers to win it?

Believe it or not, it's the Ravens.

And the reason why it's the Ravens right now is because I've always had questions about the steel is secondary because of its size, not its athletic ability, speed or whatever, but just its size, its height.

I think bigger receivers could take advantage of them.

Number one, number two.

And more importantly, Listen, I'm very pleased with what I'm seeing from Big Ben Roethlisberger.

I'm very happy about that.

The flip side to it, however, is this for me.

You've got the 21st ranked 24th ranked passing attack, you know, I know Big Ben's completing over 65%.

69% of his passes, 11 touchdowns, just one interception.

I get it.

I love this guy.

Uh, you know this guy chase pulling.

I love what You Claypool?

Yeah.

I love what I'm seeing from him.

Um, but I got questions about how potent you're going to be offensively.

I don't have any questions about how important the steel is gonna be the Ravens gonna be offensively with Lamar Jackson running that football still have the number two rushing defense, but obviously, because he's the quarterback, Lamar Jackson is bringing a different dimension to the running game from the quarterback position.

I don't know if you're to steal us, how you neutralize that.

And so because of it, when I look at it from that perspective, I just need to see more potency on the offensive side of the ball from the Pittsburgh Steelers before I'm willing to usurp the Baltimore Ravens in the A F C North in an official capacity.

Obviously, I'm hoping they will, because I'm a Steelers fan, but I'm not sold on them yet.

Well, I might agree with you about the A F C North.

I don't know about that, but I'm thinking bigger picture.

Who do I have more confidence in its the Steelers.

First of all, I know their defense is air comparable.

I like Pittsburgh's defense even more.

I think Pittsburgh has a special defense this year, and we saw it last year.

You know why they were going?

They went 88 Not only is Mike Tomlin congenitally it seems unable to be a losing coach, right?

Like no excuses, no nothing.

Just work hard.

Um, well, they got making Fitzpatrick.

You know what?

I think that was a tipping point on the defense.

Um, if you look at the Steelers this year, not only do they have a special defense, you can't run the ball on them, But offensively, they have Claypool on the other side of Juju, Smith, Schuster and Stephen A.

You were the one who said, I'm not sure you choose a number one.

I said he looks like a number one without a B.

He wasn't but with Claypool there now it's a whole new dynamic, and Connor is really running the ball very well.

Is the player of the game against the Browns?

I think that all that said, What happens to Baltimore if they fall behind Lamar Jackson still has to prove in the playoffs that he can bring them back once they fall behind.

Roethlisberger's done that.

Lamar Jackson a better player right now, the Ben Roethlisberger, but in that kind of scenario, beating you like that, I still like Roethlisberger better until Lamar Jackson proves me wrong.

And so in the playoffs.

I would prefer the Steelers, and for that reason I have more faith in them.
