Hello, Gordon Smart here from whistleblowers, football's most original new podcast. Each week, I'm joined by Ian Ladieman and Mark Clattenberg. If Artetta doesn't win the league this year, what will you be saying on Trips TV? I'm not Artetta in. Like, I'm still Artetta out, because the job's not done. I am fed up at they talking about this high level of intervention. If somebody told me that's a penalty last night, then I'm thank God I'm not refereeing anymore because the game has gone. |

| 1:00.1 | Welcome to the terrible take, you mini podcast telling Steelers Nation what's on our mind. |
| 1:05.0 | I'm Josh Carney. |
| 1:06.5 | There was talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers defense being historic and possibly the best ever coming into the season, |
| 1:12.7 | especially after all the pieces the franchise added and the money that was spent on that side of the football. |
| 1:18.7 | Instead, the Steelers defense has largely been a disaster. |
| 1:21.9 | Sure, they had a pair of five turnover games against the Patriots and Colts, |

| 1:43.5 | He's in the final year of his contract, |
| 1:45.4 | and the defense is regressing. The Steelers found themselves in a similar situation back in 2023, |
| 1:51.2 | and they ultimately fired Matt Canada after offensive players were grumbling about the scheme, |
| 1:55.8 | and the performance of the unit was as bad as it gets. That's where the Steelers find themselves |
| 2:00.7 | right now with Austin and the defense. |
| 2:03.1 | Players have questioned the scheme and are just out of answers. |
| 2:06.8 | It feels like a breaking point for the defense. |
| 2:09.5 | The move to let Austin go early might just be arranging deck chairs on the Titanic, |
| 2:14.6 | but you have to try something and give a new voice an opportunity to call plays defensively. |
