00:00All right. Steelers are three and one and, you know, tried to give the game away in the end with some bizarre play calling here.

00:08Aaron Rodgers has done a better job than field solidifying this team.

00:12But I would also say, Adam, that Kenneth Gainwell sitting the last couple of years, maybe that was the best thing for him.

00:17Because all of a sudden, this guy was like unstoppable against the Vikings yesterday.

00:21And, you know, and as I look, I did take Pittsburgh yesterday in the pools and the picks.

00:25I did sort of suspect, yeah, I suspected that I love Brian Flores.

00:31I think in the end, they're going to play a lot of close games.

00:33Do you think, by the way, you know, I know we were going to do Steelers.

00:36Do you think the Vikings would go to that third string quarterback?

00:39I've heard a lot of buzz about him in training.

00:42No, but hang on. Carson Wentz, Craig, I know he turned it over three times, two picks and a fumble.

00:48He also made some phenomenal throws. Their line could not protect them.

00:52Brian O'Neill, the right tackle, got hurt.

00:53Remember, Daris, all their left tackle, just came back from his ACL injury, so it missed their entire offseason program rehabbing.

00:59So their offensive line didn't play well at all.

01:01And the thing about Wentz and other quarterbacks who are willing to – Baker Mayfield yesterday is another example of it.

01:08If you have a quarterback that's willing to hang in the pocket, they're going to take contact.

01:12They're going to get hit, and they're going to take some sacks.

01:14But he brought them back.

01:15And, by the way, Addison in two drops, one critical one.

01:19Jefferson fell on what would have been a touchdown, okay?

01:21If you remember, he ran to his left.

01:23It was a good throw by Wentz.

01:24Now, Wentz had some throws he'd like to have back.

01:26But considering Carson Wentz has not been a factor since 2021 when he actually played pretty well with the Colts,

01:31he didn't play well at all with Washington, he looked pretty good.

01:35And I know our guy Kevin Walsh, since he should be the starter, he talked about this last week with me on Game Time Decisions.

01:42But let's not get ahead of ourselves over McCarthy.

01:45But Wentz played a little bit better than people thought.

01:47I know you can't turn it over.

01:48You can't browbeat a quarterback, hey, don't turn the ball over.

01:52That's not coaching.

01:53But Wentz gave him a chance to come back.

01:55That's the point.

02:07I know you can see.
