  • So the reason why the Pittsburgh Steelers air not to know we're seeing some great play offensively out of Big Ben is because the Yak Boys the numbers that they're putting on the putting on film, they're coming out here showing up.

  • And they're one of the biggest reasons why Big Ben is having a year.

  • You know what's scary?

  • Because I mean, I get where you're coming from with those White House, but that doesn't even include Eric Ebron and James Connor.

  • Like Holy right, like they are amazing.

  • But, guys, if this isn't the, I mean the biggest trap game in the history I mean, because it really is because you've got a big Thursday night tilt.

  • Basically, when the division, if you beat Baltimore again, so to me, they gotta avoid that.

  • And if you're Mike Tomlin man every I mean this is not a fun week if your Pittsburgh cedar, because I can promise you this.

  • All the little tiny details Tomlin's been hammering the heck out of money.

  • And what's the tiny detail that he's been hammering this week?

  • Being able to run the football because they have to be able to do this to win a championship.

  • Yeah, they're leaning on those receivers, Moss, and that very heavily since week seven, because since Week seven, they're the worst team in the league in terms of running the football.

  • What I say we wear the team that could only win one way, and right now the Steelers, they spread them out.

  • They get into empty, they run, spread, and they're throwing it.

  • And it's big, Ben.

  • They got to get the running game going because they're gonna be in the game, and this is a perfect time.

  • Re establish the running game against the Jacksonville Jaguars defense as 25th in the league and stopping it because you have to lean on that coming up in December in January.

  • If you want the chance and G wherever the team that is more than a 10 point underdog that only has one win.

  • This is not college football.

  • This is the NFL.

  • Anybody can win on any given Sunday and Rex, it struck me what you said.

  • You know that this is a tough week for Mike Tomlin because you know behind the curtain behind the curtain because they do play Thursday night on Thanksgiving against Baltimore.

  • There are coaches on that staff who, instead of getting ready for this game, are getting ready for this game.

  • And they're also getting ready for next week.

  • Already there double minded and is very difficult to do when you're in football and you are, you know you are trained.

  • Want to know every week.

  • Wanna know every week to now due to game plants.

  • And that's why a lot of the times you'll see a good team lose a game they should not lose because it's like they're split.

  • I can remember, like time after time.

  • This happens and it's it's tough on.

  • It's tough on coaches.

  • It's even tougher if any of those players air looking past it.

  • Forget about it.

  • That's that's a bad spot to be.

  • Every game is just critical this year, especially because only one team gets to buy.

  • And it's been It's been a quarterback that gets beat up and ends up playing hurt out there.

  • Yes, he does to get this old man to buy, and that's why escape this game is just important as that Thursday because the Chiefs are sitting there nice and pretty, which is one win and the Steelers have to secure it, and they got to keep winning because the Chiefs are right.

  • And, you know, I know it looks like this should be clearly one sided, but let's not forget Doug Marone and the Jacksonville Jaguars went to Pittsburgh in a playoff game and pummeled the Steelers range game.

  • But that's what I mean.

  • Randy.

  • They got to get James Robinson rolling this week, and I just have hardly say Run it 50 times.

  • But I'm not kidding.

  • You need to run it 50 times today because if you throw it the Steelers pass rush, they don't care if it's on a Sunday short week, you know, coming up, uh, Ravens, whatever.

  • It makes no difference.

  • That pass rush will tee off.

  • So Doug Marrone he has a formula.

  • Go back to it, run that football.

  • And I don't care.

  • I mean, there's no fans to buoy anyway, just running three times in a cloud of dust and see what happens.

  • Yeah, actually, 17,000 fans to be sure, they they're gonna make some noise.

  • Hey, blue eyes played okay like he had.

  • Well, he came out.

  • You made the joke about gluten free, but uh, he's played good football.

  • I think he's surprised people sixth round pick and he's played a lot better than I think people expected him to play.

  • And there's always the element of surprise with a guy where you haven't seen much film on him.

  • It shouldn't be a trap game for Big Ben when he's 500 against this team.

  • And it's not like the Steelers air blowing everybody out in their road winds.

  • Yes, there winds, but they've come by an average of 5.5 points.

  • So it shouldn't be a tough sell for Tomlin this week.

  • But always something you have to mention.

  • Our Jeff Darlington knows all about it.

  • He's in Jacksonville.

  • Are you getting the vibe there, Jeff?

  • That it may be a trap game for this team?

  • Well, Rex is exactly right about Mike Tomlin being nitpicky, borderline annoying and, quite frankly, just crank even taking shots at the Mac football conference, saying It's not like we're a Big 10 team playing against the Mac team.

  • Just pointing out that the Jaguars air still in NFL team Tomlin also preaching to his players that the only thing perfect about us is our record, stressing the fact that the Jaguars were able to make some turnovers against the Packers last week and really stayed in that game close.

  • Also just preaching the fact that look, this is a team that hasn't run the ball very well in terms of the Steelers.

  • One thing we have to point out, though, is that the Jaguar secondary is decimated, their without their to starting cornerbacks.

  • So I hate to say it, Tomlin.

  • It's a really difficult proposition to not overlook this team because, man, the one and Ajax really are struggling right now.

  • If the Steelers could make this work, they got that Thursday game.

  • But Tomlin doing his best Sam to make sure that they don't overlook this team.

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

So the reason why the Pittsburgh Steelers air not to know we're seeing some great play offensively out of Big Ben is because the Yak Boys the numbers that they're putting on the putting on film, they're coming out here showing up.
