00:00As for the other side, when it comes to the offensive matchup, let's talk some Steelers.

00:08Now I mentioned before the break that some fans got their Twitter fingers going and said

00:12just put Justin Fields back in his position.

00:15They wanted that since October 20th when the switch initially came about.

00:18You got Wilson closing out the day with 270 through the air, one passing TD.

00:22Then you got Warren on the ground, 45 through 11 carries, one tutty.

00:26And then it was Calvin Austin to the rescue with 78 through the air through three receptions.

00:30So a lot of chunk plays.

00:31And then tight end to save the day coming in next, 59 through the air through four receptions.

00:35So again, what do we make of the Steelers' offense and then more importantly, gauging

00:39them moving forward?

00:41I would say there's encouraging things from a betting perspective.

00:45Like you want to talk about real football and again, like, are the Steelers actually

00:48as good as an eight win team?

00:49I don't know.

00:50But Wilson goes over his passing yards by a good margin considering that was like 186.

00:56I spoke about on the halftime show that he could probably go over 251, 250 where it was.

00:59He does that.

01:0021 of 28 is like, is pretty good.

01:02That's pretty good for a quarterback.

01:03He's not throwing interceptions.

01:04Yeah.

01:05He's taking sacks.

01:06He's taking care of the ball overall.

01:07He gets a touchdown.

01:08It is what it is.

01:09Jalen Warren goes over his rushing, goes over his carries.

01:14Najee Harris goes under his carries, under his yards, which is of course important to

01:20know.

01:21And then when it comes to pass catchers, like George Pickens should be the number one guy,

01:26which he is.

01:27He led the team with seven targets, but obviously didn't haul them all in, only four for 48.

01:31Calvin Austin, I don't expect to have this many yards on a week in and week out basis.

01:36It should be Pickens.

01:38I want to see Friar move Van Jefferson.

01:40And then are they going to get Mike Williams, who they traded for a couple of weeks ago

01:43from the Jets?

01:44Are we going to get him involved?

01:45So Calvin Austin, I think this game is kind of a, it's just like a blip on the radar.

01:50Like he's not going to play that role moving forward.

01:53It should be Pickens the clear number one.

01:56So again, looking at Friar and Van Jefferson, Najee Harris, I spoke about him very heavily

02:00on the pregame show.

02:01So did Adam.

02:02It just, it wasn't his game.

02:03He got the attempts.

02:04I thought he was going to be at, you know, his line was at 16.5, 17.5 in terms of total

02:08attempts.

02:09He was right there.

02:10He was just inefficient.

02:11And, you know, credit to the Browns for completely changing things after last week when they

02:14got run all over by Kamara and Taysom Hill with the Saints.

02:18That was not the case tonight.

02:19It was good to see Jalen Warren out there, especially in high volume.

02:22And this is again, him going over his attempts, which we've seen in a lot of these recent

02:26games.

02:27And that may be one of the best spots to go moving forward is going to be Jalen Warren's

02:30involvement in the offense, whether it's carries Russian plus receiving, whatever it might

02:34be.

02:35Yeah.

02:36And then when it comes to his receiving is usually sitting at that one and a half to

02:39two and he got three receptions tonight.

02:41So those lines are staying pretty consistent.

02:44And then the volume in which they're incorporating him are also staying pretty consistent.

02:48I did have Warren for the rush attempts.

02:50You've given me a large perspective on that one.

02:52If I'm not sure on the yardage and 11 carries that got us right there as well.
