855-2124 CBS. It's been a busy night. We're going to get back to the Thursday Night Football game. as the Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers the final score 29 to 17 Steelers need...well the Steelers need a lot and I'm not basing that just off of this one game tonight I'm basing this off of several games and just the deterioration of the squad over the past several seasons. I mean they were fool's gold in the kind of the latter years of Ben Roethlisberger.

I mean at one point they went on a ridiculous run they got into the playoffs and they disappointed. Well now they're looking for a quarterback. They drafted one at number 20 with Kenny Pickett they have a placeholder in Trubisky. You gotta get punched in the mouth sometimes and kinda restart and rebuild and that's where they're at right now and so yeah we got a lot of people saying all the Steelers are playing too conservative well what you want them to do? You gonna get them a new offensive line? You gonna get them a quarterback? A star quarterback with experience?

They don't just grow on trees. We'll get to the Steelers we've talked about them earlier on in the show for anyone who's missed it we did talk about Aime Udoka. The man is suspended he's gone for the entire year the Boston Celtics put out a release and they said yeah he's suspended and when it comes down to his return or a potential return we'll decide that at a later date. So there's no guarantee that Aime Udoka ever comes back as head coach of the Boston Celtics despite all the success that he had in his first season helping to take the team to the NBA Finals.

He made a decision and now he has to live with the consequences of it is it harsh? Yes it is I agree it's harsh it'd be a hell of a distraction if you had a a countdown when he came back. It'd be a hell of a distraction if the Celtics were winning but then the team was gonna just get handed back to him automatically I don't know in in November or December or January. They had to get him out of the building they had to lessen the distraction even though he's gone he's still gonna be talked about.

Wait until Celtics media day it'll be a circus. Before we get out of here this hour I do want to talk to you about Sean Payton seems like he might be open to rejoining the circus in the NFL as a head coach maybe the circus of the Dallas Cowboys but as we continue on here with this hour I do want to continue talking about tonight's Thursday Night Football game. 29-17 the Browns beat the Steelers the Cleveland Browns just dominate on the ground they dominate time of possession you think about Nick Chubb 113 yards by himself plus a touchdown Kareem Hunt chips in 47 they have a 171 total yards considering Jacoby Presets yards is 2 or yards as well and then if you think about time of possession the Cleveland Browns had the ball for approximately 36 minutes 36 minutes Pittsburgh Steelers they had it for about 24 the Pittsburgh Steelers could only also muster six first downs in the second half of the game they couldn't even get to a first down if they needed to and so this was one of those punch you in the mouth games and we got two teams in I don't want to say two different directions the Steelers are hoping they have their future quarterback in Kenny Pickett the Browns basically sold their souls to bring in Deshaun Watson and we all know they hope that he can come back by week 13 and take on his former team in Texas in Houston those Texans that's the hope and so this ain't all that bad for the Cleveland Browns right now they're 2-1 the Cleveland Browns are the best team by record in the AFC North you look at the Ravens and what they did they beat the Jets one week and then they they choke away a victory against Miami the next not the most beautiful of things for the Ravens and then so for the Browns if we have to look at what they've done they barely beat the Panthers in their first victory they lost to the Jets in the last two minutes of a game it's like y'all basically just sucked quit and gave up thinking it was over Nick Chubb even admitted yeah I should have taken a knee and killed the clock instead of scoring it's not like the Browns have had some impressive win and tonight they beat a Steelers team that's that's in transition Clowney was out with a sprained ankle and Brissett is just holding down the fort that's all he's doing tonight 220 yards passing two touchdowns he helped get things going early on in the game he threw a pass out to Amari Cooper who's brand new to the team I want you to hear that call here courtesy of the Browns radio net. From the stealer 11 out of the shotgun Brissett back to pass looks throws middle Cooper caught it, touchdown just what you said they're thinking touchdown and they get touchdown he worked against the safety Terrell Edmonds and he gets in there for the score Brissett to Cooper for the second game in a row yet no one is gonna mistake Jacoby Brissett as the second coming who he is in the NFL is a placeholder you know I always tell you I look at quarterbacks and put them in three separate categories you got the guys who are your your stars you go into the game having full confidence that they gonna lead you to victory that if your team happens to be behind that they're gonna help lead you on that comeback that game winning drive setting up that winning field goal or maybe even at touchdown you have those quarterbacks were in the middle waiting to be replaced and then you have the latter third where they scare the living hell outta you well Jacoby Brissett is somewhere between that second tier and that third tier he's a placeholder he's not gonna wow you week to week some weeks he'll be good some weeks he'll be bad he's kinda just there hey Andrew Luck decided to retire well Jacoby it's your show now oh well a Tom Brady Garoppolo were broken it's your turn in here we have Deshaun Watson suspended hey Jacoby can you hold it down for about nine ten eleven games and that's what we got so the Cleveland Browns should actually be thrilled and happy yeah they're at they're at two and one despite these victories being yeah and so Jacoby Brissett he spoke after the game and we know the rivalry between the Steelers and the Browns and and due to proximity and the AFC North etc Jacoby Brissett he was asked about this victory tonight and he considered it to be a great team win I thought it was a great team win we obviously on offense started out slow and then I think we settled in and then we just started to get things going we knew it was going to be a 60 minute football game obviously they're a good team great coaches good players so it was just about it came back to us and I think we did a good job of settling back in and then just making our routine plays oh yeah they were routine as routine can be run the football run the football down their throats the offense can't keep up with the damn thing let's hold the football because we know they can't do anything and let's go home with the victory and that's what the Browns did head coach Kevin Stefanski he basically echoed the same sentiments from Jacoby Brissett take a listen to what coach Stefanski had to say that's just a great team win and I'm really proud of those guys for fighting short week with all the things you know with last Sunday for those guys to come through first of all just battle to make it to this game which is not easy but then the fight for 60 minutes and I thought it was really a team win I think it was offense defense special teams all working together it's funny to me all those things from last Sunday y'all choked that's what happened you took on the New York Jets and you choked that's what happened that's what took place y'all should have been better than what you did and y'all just handed the game over to the Jets and so here you take on the Pittsburgh Steelers and you come back from a halftime deficit one point and you actually have a victory we know what the deal is the Browns goal this season try to stay alive try to stay relevant try just try to stay in the playoff hunt until Deshaun Watson comes back because it's one thing for Jacoby Brissett to air the ball out to Amare Cooper it's a whole nother level if Deshaun Watson is scrambling around generating offense and then dumping the ball out to Cooper they're just trying to stay afloat and so Jacoby Brissett he was also asked after the game you know based on what you've done tonight do you feel that you you've proven yourself do you feel like you have you know quiets quieted some of the critics this what he had to say about his own play I'm not in this to answer anybody's questions I'm in here to play good football play for my teammates and enjoy this moment and that's that's what it really is all about I can look those guys in their faces and tell them I'm giving them my best and that's what I look forward to yeah basically I'm just trying to help us stay afloat that's it and so for the AFC North the Browns are at the top after week three yes we've already started week three of the NFL season tonight the Browns are at the top the AFC North the Bengals are 0-2 you got the Ravens at 1-1 they just completely imploded against the Miami Dolphins and we know Pittsburgh well dammit Pittsburgh is in for is in for a long long season either way and so when I take a look at the AFC North it's it's always gonna be a battle I'm still confident that through the Ravens will go out there and win it and maybe the Bengals will turn their season around you never know I know the Steelers ain't winning it I'd put some money down on that if I were more of a betting man if I have to think about the the immediate schedule here for the Cleveland Browns they have the Atlanta Falcons next they have the Chargers good luck trying to outscore them maybe they'll choke Chargers like to do that too you have New England I don't care how bad they are that won't be a cakewalk the Browns take on their divisional rivals in Baltimore and Cincinnati then they have Miami we know Miami likes to put up the points even early Buffalo Tampa Bay and then week 13 against Houston this is the powder puff portion of the schedule for the Browns by the time we start pulling up into Halloween and into November it's gonna be tough and I'm not sure that they're gonna be able to stay afloat that long until Deshaun comes back we'll see they're capable but I'd have more confidence in the Ravens 855-212-4CBS that's 855-212-4CBS when you look at the AFC North based on what we've seen so far what team do you believe has the best chance of coming out on top I'd still say the Ravens between the Ravens and Browns they'll battle it out and maybe maybe maybe the Bengals bounce back maybe just keep in mind I don't care what Super Bowl they went to it's still the Bengals let's go ahead and hit the phone lines up easy easy easy Mike is calling from Illinois you're on CBS Sports Radio Mike are you live? yeah I just wanted to say I always felt kinda bad for Trubisky for when he was drafted I was incensed with the Chicago management for doing it and then when he went to Pittsburgh I was hoping that Tomlin and the Pittsburgh people could really pull him together and help him be at least a serviceable quarterback because I really really wanted it to hang around Matt Nagy's neck like a millstone that's about all I had to say. Well thank you Mike for calling from Illinois bringing a little bit of perspective for all yeah Matt Nagy gone, Mitch Trubisky soon to be gone and it doesn't matter if you leave Chicago and go elsewhere these guys have been a disaster gone John is calling from DC you're on the JR Sportbreeze show baseball America's game it's about connection and now with Apple TV Plus Friday Night Baseball

it's about connection and now with Apple TV Plus Friday Night Baseball comes home Friday Night Baseball streaming on Apple TV Plus JR JR what's going on how are you what's on your mind John go ahead hey AJ I was calling about the Steelers man and just watching that performance all I could think is oh my god Trubisky he's like he's scared to throw the ball I'm just like throw the ball give us a 50-50 chance to get a penalty or something just throw the ball but I don't think he's the answer like you say I've been listening to other callers it's too early to throw pickins in there with the offensive line we have it's not a good time I watched him in a preseason too he's still staring down receivers it wouldn't be a good look for him like you say we wanted to ride it out with Trubisky I think the crowd yelling at pickins at the games I think that's throwing Trubisky off he never should have been a first-round pick played like a one year in college he should not have been a first-round pick but well when you think about when you think about the trade that that that brought him in I think that's also a major reason you think about the draft I think that's a major reason you think about when the homes is that that's a major reason I think a lot of people maybe unless you happen to be in Chicago or my kind of past that and for Trubisky this is his his last chance before pick it takes over that's that's what he's there for they didn't draft them to keep him in cobwebs you know yes sir I think probably by I guess I'll say about round about week six okay I'll probably make the change Tom Tom and Tom I haven't had a losing season and I don't think he's gonna let this start let this be the start fooling with Mitch you know so yeah I'm with you on that one oh man it's a tough one it was tough on the night it is thank you John for calling from DC and I also believe that Mike Tomlin isn't just going to quote-unquote pull the plug because there's public pressure to do so he's gonna do it because he thinks it's right for them to win football games and if he's not confident that Kenny Pickett is gonna go out there and start and give them a chance to win he won't do it if we're watching a game and and Trubisky is just not doing a damn thing then yeah I could see him putting Kenny Pickett out there and I think it will be easy for everybody to consume the media the fans I think people will be understanding of it let it happen organically let's not just go out here and enforce it Ben he's calling from DC you're on the JR sport brief show hey JR I'm gonna tell you exactly what I told you right after the Steelers got Trubisky and that's as a Steelers fan after we got Pouncey into Castro we went a good six seven eight years where we didn't draft day one or day to any o-line talent and really any d-line talent and we needed we needed that we need we're getting beat up in the trenches you know the New England ran the game out on us six minutes the last six minutes of the game Browns ran all over us if the Bengals and we were very lucky to beat the Bengals it was after five turnovers because they just they basically gave us the game and we had a freak block kick we needed to just let Trubisky be out there and build the team for the quarterback I'm not convinced that pick it as a generational talent Najee Harris is nice back I don't think he's a generational talent Dev Bush was bust we needed to build the trenches and we didn't do it and we don't have Big Ben to bail out Tomlin in the fourth quarter anymore to you know to steal these ugly victories and and and we're paying the price it's gonna be a bad year yeah I think that goes without saying thank you Ben for calling from DC we see how bad of a year it is you know whether you want to take a look at at the coaching the offensive play calling the talent that's on the field there are multiple issues that the Steelers need to go out there and figure out it's the chair our sport we show here with you on CBS Sports Radio I will leave the phone lines open at eight five five two one two four CBS yes Thursday night football went down Pittsburgh they lose to the Cleveland Browns 29 to 17 AFC North as we know will always be a dogfight it's not the only NFL news that has come down the pipe or that will continue to bubble up for the next few days no we've talked about Mike Tomlin a little bit his standing and Steelers head coach hasn't had a losing season been there for 16 years he ain't going nowhere Sean Payton Super Bowl winning coach with the Saints he's decided to be in television but he talked recently and he said next year he might come back I want to share that with you on the other side it's the JR sport we show on CBS Sports Radio don't move that's right it's the JR sport we show here with you on CBS Sports Radio we've talked about Thursday night football and I will continue to do so it's the Browns beat the Steelers 29 to 17 what happens at the quarterback position for both teams and can Jacoby Brissett hold down the Browns and till Deshaun Watson comes back what the hell is going on with the Steelers entire offense and in the quarterback position when does Kenny Pickett play but we know Mike Tomlin is gonna even hold things down the players respect him they'll play for the man and this is just gonna be a down year he might have his first losing season and I don't think a damn human being would be shocked I think it's almost expected if they can do otherwise good form and Mike Tomlin behind Bill Belichick now is the second longest tenured head coach in the NFL at 16 years it's amazing that he's still here all these years later and this seems like every season at the first just inkling of adversity people are ready to move Mike Tomlin out the door like the Steelers or one of these sad-sack organizations who just you know have their coaching seat as a carousel no they're not they're gonna rock with this man unless they there's some type of of disaster and so I guess it's appropriate that someone else who was around for a long ass time we're talking 16 years completed with the New Orleans Saints and he just decided to step down is Sean Payton we remember earlier this year he said I'm done I've had enough I'm trying to look into other things and life like family he's currently doing television but recently Sean Payton he was on what a lot of people are on now a podcast New Orleans dot football podcast and Sean Payton was asked hey man we know that you're doing television right now this minute we know that you're not gonna wake up and be able to coach an NFL team this year but if the opportunity were to present itself next year Sean Payton would you be interested in getting back out there and coaching again this is what he had to say about enjoying life but maybe waiting for the right thing do you already know right now that you want to coach in 2023 that's a good question I would say this I'm I really enjoy what I'm doing right now and more maybe than I thought if the right situation presented itself Mike I would I would definitely be interested in and there's no utopia if you will when it comes to teams but you know if I felt like it was the right situation I would would have an interest in that that all being said you know that could come in a year that could come in two years it could I do believe he's gonna be back out there coaching and I don't think it's it's out of this world to think about him going and coaching the Dallas Cowboys it would Sean Payton be the guy to sit down with Jerry Jones and say listen if I'm gonna come here and coach you gotta sit your ass down I think we know the answer is no but is Sean Payton gonna say you know you have to allow me some type of input with personnel decisions and if you're Jerry Jones you might look at Sean Payton and say this guy might be my best and last chance to go out there and have some success it's like he tried this years ago with Bill Parcells didn't work maybe with Sean Payton will will the results be different we know about Sean Payton in the Super Bowl win over the Colts he's one of the most innovative minds in the NFL when it comes down to offense we saw what Jamis Winston did just in a limited scope after kinda sitting under his learning tree with him and Breeze for a year I think prior to his injury last season Jamis Winston was at 14 touchdowns and only three interceptions he threw three interceptions a couple of days ago against the Buccaneers and so ironically what else is new Sean Payton says yeah with the right situation I'd come back Jerry Jones has been speaking to the media this is good news for a Cowboys fan Dak Prescott he's been out there you know with the team doing drills he hasn't been gripping or throwing a football but he's been he's been out there practicing still has the stitches in his thumb in due time they believe that he will come back sooner than later now having said that Jerry Jones treats his organization like it's Hunger Games so whether or not you are the head coach Mike McCarthy and Dan Quinn is upstairs ready to take your job Jerry Jones lets the world know oh yeah Dan Quinn he could be the coach yeah Mike McCarthy he knows he's not going to be the coach forever and yeah I got plenty of options well Jerry Jones feels the same damn way about the quarterback position because listen nobody is clamoring for Cooper Rush but Jerry Jones said it'll be quite a dilemma if Cooper Rush and Dak we have to make a decision listen to this guy wouldn't it be something if you had a dilemma as to which way you go you do that if he gets ten wins same thing that happened with Prescott I think like that so you'd want that you'd want that controversy course I would okay of course that means we'd won if it comes in there and played as well as Prescott played rush played that well over these next games ahead I'm walking New York to get there okay yeah a dilemma like Kelly Rowland good as he is an interesting dude man I guess he'd have to throw buckets upon buckets of money at Sean Payton to have him you know coach the squad to coach the Cowboys but let's also keep this in mind Sean Payton is still under contract for another two seasons with the Saints any team that would want Sean Payton they'd have to come up with some type of compensation this man is not sitting around ready to get picked up for free it's not gonna be fully in his control eight five five two one two four CBS that's eight five five two one two four CBS I'm gonna take more of your calls before I have to roll out we'll talk about the AFC North if you got a question on me on I mean Doka go ahead knock yourselves out Thursday Night Football's a wrap I'm a suspended Aaron judge did not hit a home run let me slow down that's right it's the JR sport reef show here with you on CBS Sports Radio Thursday Night Football damn it we can we just get the high score matchups can we get that I get it it's the Steelers it's a legacy team it's the it's the Browns I'll say it again it's the Browns I'm trying to find the excitement there I just want to see excitement I get it not every game can be you know 4040 nationally televised game even though this was on Amazon but watching the Steelers and the Browns kind of duke it out is just like okay I like

two four CBS that's eight five five two one two four CBS jack is calling from Tennessee go ahead Jack hey JR thanks for the time when talking about the AFC North you know as a lifelong Bengals fan I kind of thought coming into the year they were being disrespected with people picking the Ravens to win the division but after two weeks of losing to Mitch Trubisky and Cooper rush I gotta say the doubters look right so far I'm interested to see if the team can get it together in the next few weeks because they have the offensive talent to be anybody but I think with a terrible ownership and a terrible offensive line it's gonna be tough but I think the divisions wide open I'm excited to see you know what happens I think it's one of the more competitive divisions in the NFL right now it is and if you got to think about your team and in a disappointing start going on too I mean whoa what do the insides feel like for Joe Burrow like he's he was he got sacked six times the other day I mean if he didn't have his appendix taken out they would have knocked it out of him yeah yeah I was telling people all offseason that I didn't think the Super Bowl is the fluke but you know there were a couple good bounces of the ball last year in the playoffs run so I'm excited to see if I can keep that up or if the you know organization you know like you said still the bangle so we'll see what happens yeah in due time and thank you Jack for calling from Tennessee I know that they picked up Alex Kappa from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Lyle Collins you you have him on the team God knows you know what his status will be I feel like game to game it's always up in the air whether he's hurt injures having some type of personal problem and so obviously the offensive line is is still an issue and if you're Joe Burrow what are we giving it three or four years before Joe Burrow is like damn y'all need to protect me what is he gonna give us the the Russell Wilson Tom is calling from Chicago you're on the JR sport we show what's up Tom my treasured friend JR how you doing tonight listen I most importantly I just want to say thanks for all the good work you know give you a measure of gratitude for all the work you do to bring disability and well to bring education really to people who got intellectual disabilities you really go the extra mile I really love you for it I got a family members kind of intellectual disability hey man thank you thank you so kindly number two Mike Tomlin my favorite coach in NFL perhaps the winningest coach in the NFL right now I looked at his record he's 154 and like 82 this is the guy who back in 2006 2007 Notre Dame watching Mike Tomlin out of the University of Cincinnati well didn't come to pass but anyway I feel bad for Mike he's my favorite coach he is going at the suffer through a rebuilding season this year I've we've already had our share of Mr. Biscay in this town I don't care if it's whoever it is this ticket guy you mentioned it's not gonna happen for Mike and I feel bad for him that's all I really want to say so thank you well thank you Tom for calling from Chicago I think he's he's earned himself he's earned himself he's under so some rope he's gonna have a chance in an opportunity I don't I don't think the Rooney's are gonna go oh well it's not good this year so we got to get Mike the hell up on out of here the fans might take that position I have fans telling me last year in Pittsburgh oh yeah yeah after a poor start Mike has gots to go sometimes you don't know how good you have it until somebody's gone and I think that's in any relationship and so yeah we look at sports sometimes it's just like oh well he's he's not living up he has to go there are a lot of teams there are a lot of players who wish they had a Mike Tomlin and I appreciate him he gets the most out of his players eight five five two one two four CBS Dwayne is calling from South Carolina go ahead Dwayne yeah how you doing um just my comment is this I'll press the coordinator Mike Canada he gots to go I'm I just I'm not satisfied I'm the office has to be run but please that he's calling we get you out with season four we always had a good offensive of receiving core but we can't get them the ball and and we get Harris running the defense playing up for a run they already know Don she's gonna be running I mean we don't have anything we get answers but so far as them catching the ball but the plays that's being called as I really don't like that so this kind of a guy to me he gots to go well how much do you wait how much do you weigh the actual quarterback play in regards to the plays that he comes well you know what I thought about did we have a chance to get the guy who played with Cleveland tonight the quarterback did we have a chance get him into Trabinski this year are you talking about Jacoby Brissett yeah did we have a chance to get him oh yeah he was he was free he was in Miami last year right there you go so we had him on our team tonight we're the one to risk you know he's throwing too slow lethargic no all right well I don't well thank you Dwayne trying to choose between Trabisky and Jacoby Brissett is there two at this point placeholders what does it matter I don't think the Steelers are just looking at tonight's game I think you have to look at the season in its entirety and say who's going to give us the best chance of winning and moving towards success these are the type of conversations that the teams cannot have publicly they can't say hey guys because it's a business this is a rebuilding season who the hell says that I mean you get admissions of that in very few instances most times the fans are smart enough to understand that so whether it's Trabisky or whether it's Brissett they ain't gonna be there for the long haul Jim is calling from Boise what's up Jim hey how you doing first time caller really quick I got a couple things one I am a Washington commanders fan but I still follow Pittsburgh because I grew up in the area and they need to give Tom one a break you gotta remember these coaches in the off-season they have a lot of family things going on a lot of personal things going on not to mention the fact that the Steelers suffered a death of a quarterback nobody seems to mention in the offseason that would have would have replaced the outgoing quarterback and that young man was absolutely great unfortunately he had a tragedy and me being a commander fan we've never we haven't had a winning season since 1982 and with all our drama if we can you know make it through this people just got a buck up for the long haul and just say you know these are things that happen you got to look at it from a logic point of view no one man perfect no one coach is perfect no one quarterbacks perfect but if they put the effort out on the football field and the effort in in training well see it pay off yeah well they they got a whole lot of work to do and also bringing in talent thank you Jim for calling up from Boise Bobby from Baltimore you're gonna get the last word tonight you're on CBS Sports Radio what's up J are a longtime listener I call you but once a week and always a phenomenal show thank Matt and the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh shows is the problem if you look back at last year where Ben Rosberg was checking down every single time the nausea Harris and checking down to having this little seven yard throws to Juju Smith he doesn't have a long game he doesn't have that running game that the Steelers fans are used to and I'm a Baltimore Ravens fan 100% but I'm also a Maryland Terrapins fan so I know where Matt Canada came from simple fact is it's the same offense he was running at Maryland and it's never gonna work and the simple fact is he needs to go okay are you giving him the boot now or later I give him the boot before you bring in Kenny Pickett because I don't want to see that young man ruined okay well I think it's it's gonna take time I'd be a little shocked or surprised if they completely relieved him of his duties mid-season and I think maybe probably no longer than midway through the year we'll probably see Kenny Pickett out there and if at that point if at that point the offense doesn't open up or change I mean Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett have two
