0:00.0	It could probably be best described as super annoying that the Browns are one and four
0:15.5	and yet still somehow represent precisely the opposite of the matchup that you'd want this weekend.
0:24.1	Good morning to you.
0:25.4	Good Friday morning.
0:26.4	I'm Dan Kovachievich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.
0:28.9	This is Daily Shot of Steelers presented by Fandul.
0:32.4	Comes your way bright and early every weekday.
0:34.1	If you're into hockey and or baseball, I also offer daily shots of penguins
0:39.6	and pirates in the same place that you found this. Steelers versus Browns is a 102 p.m. kickoff
0:46.2	Sunday at Accresure Stadium. And as soon as that football flies, the name of the game for the Steelers, I think, will be overcoming their specific
0:59.6	greatest shortcoming on either side of the ball, because that's who they'll be facing.

1:29.3	In fact, their run defense is number one in the NFL, allowing only 75.6 yards per game.
1:36.9	Number one. And just in case you think there's some easy workaround, their passing defense is number four in the NFL,
1:48.0	allowing only 172.2 yards per game. So whatever it is that you get, you're going to have to earn it.
1:55.9	And you're going to have to earn it in the very, very old-fashioned way. You're going to have to blow people off the ball.
2:03.1	You're going to have to create holes that hadn't been getting created really at all
2:09.8	before the game in Dublin against the Vikings. And you'd better believe you're going to have
2:14.9	to continue operating with the offense that has Spencer Anderson on the field as the extra lineman that has Darnell Washington out there for almost every snap.
2:25.5	Because this wouldn't be the time or the place to change that.
2:30.4	It's not just about Miles Garrett.
