  • I expect the Steelers toe win.

  • I'm predicting the Steelers they're gonna win.

  • I do not believe that if they lose, it's gonna be because of Baker.

  • Mayfield.

  • I believe it's gonna be because of Nick Job and Kareem Hunt.

  • I believe it's gonna be because of the Steelers inability to run the football because they got the worst Russian attack and all of the National Football League.

  • Okay, ranked dead last.

  • If you go win, it's gonna obviously be because Big Ben flinging that football of those five wideouts you got going with him and I get all of that.

  • But I don't believe Baker Mayfield is gonna be the difference in this game.

  • I believe it's gonna come down toe the Steelers ability to stop the run off the Cleveland Browns.

  • If they stop the run and they force Baker Mayfield to beat them, it's not gonna happen.

  • I'm predicting it won't happen.

  • The Steelers will handle their business.

  • The only other thing I want to say is that juju Smith Schuster love the kid lovers promised the whole bit.

  • I just want him to talk a little bit less.

  • You were dancing on a on a midfield stuff like that.

  • Mike Tomlin had to put a stop to that because the level of production wasn't up to par.

  • You know, you're in the playoffs right now.

  • We want to see you perform tomorrow, another season where you don't have 1000 yards, pump the brakes just a little bit.

  • Just go out there and ball.

  • Don't give anybody bulletin board material coming from you.

  • Not yet.

  • Well, look, juju, Smith, Schuster said.

  • The Browns air still the Browns.

  • Here's the problem.

  • The Steelers are still the Steelers.

  • If the Steelers were still the Steelers, that'll be someone thing.

  • I'd say Baker Mayfield can't upset the Steelers, but they're not.

  • You know the Steelers.

  • Still, the Steelers means guys like Troy Polamalu and Ryan Clark making you pay.

  • You can complete the play, but you are going to take something away with you.

  • That makes you may be a little hesitant.

  • That takes a little of your heart away.

  • That was the Steelers, not just, you know, we talk about run the ball, stop the run, the guys in the secondary like that anymore, and the Steelers can't run the ball.

  • They just can't run the ball.

  • They can't block for the run, and Roethlisberger ain't whether he can or he can't.

  • He ain't throwing the ball down the field, right?

  • Maybe they're not.

  • The offensive line is not giving him enough time.

  • Maybe it's age and has changed the way he's played.

  • He's getting rid of the ball quicker, dinking and dunking.

  • But you don't see him successfully throw the ball down the field.

  • Where's the vertical passing game?

  • So the Steelers are not the Steelers that we all think about.

  • Meantime, who are the Browns?

  • Can they pull off the upset?

  • And I am I like in crazy land here.

  • They just played the Steelers.

  • This is an immediate rematch, and they won.

  • What are we talking about?

  • A team that didn't just play the Steelers?

  • They did.

  • And by the way, home field.

  • As I said, in some instances, ifit's New Orleans going to Green Bay, we could talk.

  • But for the most part, it ain't what it normally is because of Cove it right, so it's not the same.

  • The home field advantage is not the same, and the Browns aren't gonna have Stefanski.

  • That's true.

  • You know who they are gonna have.

  • Denzel Ward who they haven't had.

  • Can the Browns do it?

  • Absolutely.

  • They could do it.

  • Yeah, the Browns can do it.

  • E mean, you really give the Browns a better chance than the Washington football team.

  • I think what starts to stack up against the Browns is not having an opportunity to practice.

  • And then when you really dive into that, you say, Well, Kevin Stefanski was able to install Thio insert and skiing for the game to finish the year right.

  • Week 17 was against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

  • Much of that will be carried over you.

  • Add Denzel War.

  • Maybe Kevin Johnson comes off the cove.

  • It reserve list, so you get some other pieces.

  • But think about this guy's Mike Priefer is gonna have to be a head coach for the first time ever in his career.

  • And he didn't get a week of practice.

  • He didn't get toe have the guys in the building.

  • They didn't get to feel the way that he moved around as the head coach.

  • The way that he moved around as the decision maker Alex Van Pelt didn't get to put together his his offensive scheme or didn't get the have the place he wanted get to communicate in the way with Baker Mayfield that he will, as he calls plays this weekend or Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

  • And though, and they definitely have a shot, right, you could run the football.

  • You can obviously stop the run when you play the Pittsburgh Steelers and Force been Roethlisberger to beat you and hope you don't get beat over the top the way you did with Mason Rudolph in the game last weekend.

  • But what juju Smith Schuster is saying, It's something you inherit when you become a Steeler.

  • When you walk into the South Side facility in Pittsburgh, these air two things you know the first thing that you in hell is.

  • Every time we play the Baltimore Ravens, it's gonna be a drag out knock down fight and you gotta bring your lunch pail.

  • That's what you know.

  • And then you think to yourself, the Cleveland Browns or just the Browns and Jr Smith shoots has only been in this league three years, and you think back to the first game.

  • You stuff about 38 to 6.

  • You feel like you lost the last game because Ben Roethlisberger isn't playing.

  • Is he the guy to deliver the message?

  • No, but trust me, that's the way those dudes feel in that building.
