00:00Andrew Filippone join us here on 105 through the fan. I love the under in this game. It's at 44.
00:04I think it's a little bit too high. What's your take on that? Why it's so high? And then who do
00:08you like in this game? I think it's so high because of what the Steelers defense allowed
00:14the Colts offense to do. And it was the first time all year they came in averaging opponents
00:20averaging fewer than nine points a game against them. They shut down Kirk Cousins. They shut down
00:28the Chargers. The Chargers had negative yards in the second half of that game of that week three
00:34match up here. Now Herbert got injured in the second half but it wasn't like it was a fluke
00:39play. He got knocked out of the game by the Steelers. So I actually give them credit for that.
00:44But we saw their weaknesses here in this defense. The biggest one right now is they have had an
00:51inside linebacker problem ever since the tragic Ryan Shea's ear situation. And they've thrown
00:56money and picks at it constantly. I mentioned I hated the Najee Harris pick. I hated the Devin
01:02Bush pick even more. The guy's smaller probably than your producer, no offense. And he sucked.
01:10I mean he could not tackle a guy. I don't know how he plays it in the Big Ten of Michigan.
01:14They traded up to the 10th pick. Guy's awful. And so that didn't work. Miles Jack brought him in.
01:19That didn't work. Now we've got Patrick Queen. Ravens fans are laughing at us because they
01:25thought Patrick Queen was a byproduct of playing next to Roquan Smith. The same way Steelers fans
01:31knew that Bud Dupree was only good at Ed Drusher because he got to play opposite T.J. Watt. We let
01:37him walk in free agency. Well Queen has been an abject failure. He's been terrible. Missed tackles,
01:43miscommunication things with the green dot Sunday in Indianapolis. And then our top corner,
01:49Joey Porter Jr., a lineage guy, Joey Porter's kid, had an excellent rookie year but gave up
01:55bad touchdown against L.A. and was really exposed by Michael Pittman Jr. badly last week with both
02:02Richardson and Flacco in the game. So they're probably thinking CeeDee Lamb can take advantage
02:07of him. That's how you get a higher total. Teams last week showed that you can throw the ball on
02:13the Steelers. And I'm guessing Mike McCarthy, we love Big Mike here in Pittsburgh by the way,
02:18Greenfield Mike, Big Mike, used to work at the toll booth here on the Pennsylvania turnpike
02:23with a gigantic dip in and probably a takeout order from Archie's Wings on the south side.
02:30I bet he is licking his chops looking at Joey Porter Jr. and some of the mistakes
02:35that got made in the secondary last week.
