POUNCE!! There is absolutely zero hesitation to watch this video when I saw Pouncey

[@alejannndrrroooo]

THERE SHOULD BE NO HESITATION YOU SHOULD SMILE WHEN YOU SEE AN UPLOAD.

[@elwinvanzile3944]

I feel the same

[@djthesparky]

I literally just had the same interaction when I saw this video title

[@elcaballero88]

Same! I literally jumped up and down one high knee at a time. Hype.

[@aaronvanderhee2145]

Same!!! Clicked it quick as heck

[@Amber-hf8uo]

Man you can tell Ben & Pounce just sit and reminisce all the time, I’d love to hear them talk about any and everything about their time playing together.

[@PetersPasta]

This one did not disappoint ‼️‼️

[@Arobert1673]

I want to know what o-lineman Ben said was super talented but it never translated to the field.

[@Arobert1673]

My guess is Mike Adams. That dude was huge like a mountain. But he definitely seemed soft.

[@ericshafer4291]

Will forever have respect for pounce because of the way he protected our QBs (in multiple ways)

[@PAmoviefanatic]

The sight (and memory) of the two of you sitting on that bench in an empty Heinz Field after that playoff loss to the Browns several years ago. True brothers right there.

[@CarrieAnn77]

Oh I remember that photo. Sad. There were questions all around. But Steelers Nation was just devastated and by the looks of it you two were obviously.

[@herscheld1853]

That game was hella whack 😭

[@HondaheHead]

The defense gave up to many points Ben throw for over 500 yards that game and several tds if the defense woulda done the job that woulda been a blood bath

[@NickMarinelli-h7i]

It was the most devastatingly bad 48:29 end of season meltdown I have ever witness3d from my veloved steelers. If we had this defense we had now last 5-6 ywars of bens career he woulda had 2 more rings easy. Wasted so many years after 2012 with just a medicore defense. We cannot waste this defense we have now with a garbage offense we look okay right now this game against a great top 5 defense we scored 20 pts no turn overs o line keeps ot up and justin improves so much each week so im hopeful but we gotta score more points it will get us to playoffs but not a deep run and after bi week we gotta stay healthy and ready cause thats a wild final 8 weeks of div games 2 contenders. and if we cant score more than 20 pts a game no matter how good the defense is and this squad is the truth please keep improving offense. We a Need a number 2 wr so bad with calvin at 3 we get that and were sitting pretty. Today was a test against a good team great d and we got it done on offense then and our d shut em down 2nd half. Love what im seeing in terms of improving each week.

[@Toocool1024]

Always good to hear my guys talk Ball. Ben breaks down Steeler football like no other!

[@georgecoull1883]

The greatest QB/center relationship in NFL history. Ben's ultimate protector right, wrong no matter what. I love yin'z dudes ❤

[@DLayne22]

Watching both of these guys for their entire career was special, so many great memories from all the games. Watching Ben torch the colts for 6 tds was so satisfying

[@gavinkrott9124]

Met pounce at the game on Sunday what a great dude!!!!

[@garyanderson4038]

Love it when Ben and Pouncey talk football and life. 😁 👌🏻

[@dylansmith154]

Only thing than can make this podcast any better is having Pounce every week. Much love guys 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛

[@chaser1956]

Arthur Smith is taking his time working Justin into the play book. He is not overloading him with needless info. Great Win."

[@crowe1974]

I look at the game so different now by listening to former players talking about the game. Bring up things I never thought about. Thanks, guys!!

[@GwydionAE]

What an awesome surprise! So much fun hearing Ben and Pouncey just chatting football and life. They are genuinely a joy to listen to! And Spence always doing a great job keeping everything flowing smoothly, asking interesting questions, and handling all the technical side of things. Thanks for sharing your insight and time with all of us!

[@Red_Nanaki]

Omg thank you pouncey for coming back

[@charlescook2749]

Look, I could sit and listen to Ben and Pouncey walk down memory lane for literal hours 😂

[@calebsawyer0719]

Big Ben is a legend!

[@jonathangomez2072]

The best center !!!! Pouncey 🔥🔥🔥

[@111qp2]

Pouncey said.” We need a number 2 Receiver.”😂😂

[@tommasogiampa7318]

Pouncey in da house !!!!

[@Solo_01]

This was awesome. Would love to see Pouncey become periodic guest from time to time on this show. Ben and Maurkice's knowledge of the game and knowing of each other is just awesome!

[@CarrieAnn77]

Ben I'm sorry to say. But for it 99.9% of the population especially in pittsburgh. You are defined by football. And we love you for it. However, it is great to see all of you succeed in life after your NFL career.

[@Jordan-bv7on]

Most underrated center in football history

[@caroleduzich]

Absolutely. Always had our QB's back. Loved when he stood up for Mason and beat some butt

[@smyers3423]

Boy. Pouncey is the definition of a ride or die.

[@Dasteelerboy]

I could listen too pouncey gas Ben up for 14 hours straight cheesing cheek to cheek. I’m 29 y/o I was 9 when #7 was drafted. and I appreciate y’all for the good times growing up. HERE WE GO!

[@joythomas83]

I just love Ben. ❤. He and Pounce are great together!!!!

[@steelbltz]

Pouncey has to be proud of Zach Frazier

[@_100k55]

its crazy how ben still close friends with alot of his best teammates 😂😂😂 pouncey and ben got two different characters but they blend together and create greatness on them mics

[@klusterfuk6793]

Love that pouncey is in the house!! 🏡 this episode is definitely a big special one! Let’s go Steelers beat the chargers! 🖤💛 Cowboys, niners and browns lost ❤️❤️❤️ this week has been great so far!

[@jackreacher2095]

Ever since the browns beat us in the playoffs that one year they have crashed and burned 😂😂😂

[@dragoonabninf1014]

OMG!!!❤❤❤ love this and missed this type of show, Pouncy is so full of life love it ..

[@Chris75717]

He just looks so happy it’s awesome

[@BrianSavaro]

I love this podcast. I have been watching for last couple years and just love the different angles this podcast has. Faith has always been such a huge war that i battle in my mind. Especially after the death of my grandson. I listen to the struggles that spence has faced in the last year and if amazes me how much his faith helped him through it. I never thought i could be someone like that. But listening to this podcast and meeting the amazing woman i now call my fiancé, i am closer now than ever before. The other thing about this podcast is how much i have learned about my relationships with my kids. Especially my 15 year old. Just like Ben, i too have a son that plays golf. At one time, he was considered to be a top youth player in NC when i lived there. But i have heard Ben speak of being a true believer of not being locked down to just one thing. And when i had a talk with him, i realized he didn't want to even want to play golf anymore. As talented as he is, i realized it was me pushing that on him. So last year i let him take a break from playing so he can explore other things. And he did. And this year, he came to me and wants to start playing again, but not only golf. And i am going to support him with that. It has totally helped our relationship grow not just as a father/son, but his relationship with him self. BTW, he just started high school this year and he tried out for the golf team and made varsity and has already played in 2 matches. He also really loves JRTC (who knew). He loves outdoors and wants to learn how to hunt (Which i know nothing about). He loves football and wants to try and make the high school team next year. He and i now watch all Steelers games and he is now watching Penn State games with me. I love that he is trying new and different things and is passionate and excited about it. After 6 kids and 30 years of being a parent, who knew i still had so much to learn. Thank you for this show. Please keep it going. And lastly, love this episode with Pouncey. Speaks volumes to hear how much he respects Ben. Reinforces what me and just about everyone else thinks of Ben Roethlisberger.

[@CarrieAnn77]

No one can say enough about TJ watt. He is probably the best defensive player in my entire lifetime. And I started watching and really understanding football in the 90s when I was a teenager. And TJ is just almost superhuman. You almost can't say enough about him but you don't even need to. He is just that amazing. And it would be so great to watch him win a Super bowl. That dude deserves more than anybody to win a Super Bowl in his career.

[@ryan8165]

I remember watching Polamalu in his prime and TJ might be even better than that. He still doesn't get enough respect but he's a first ballot HOFer.

[@briansmeltz1108]

Love seeing pouncey having that appreciation for Ben, two goats right here great podcast!

[@theninjaofme]

Ben trying to keep Pounce reeled in + on topic 🤣 I'm dying

[@JamesBall-x7y]

I love Big Ben, I love pouncey!! The fact that they’re still brothers after retirement is amazing!! I know the Steelers have always been about defense and I didn’t see much of Bradshaw other than highlights, but I’m telling you Ben is and will always be the best Steelers qb. And after pouncey retired Steelers line was never the same. Pouncey is the second if not first(in my opinion) center of all time. To have the best quarterback and center of all time in the same video is a blessing again. Praise GOD and let’s go Steelers

[@paulcrouch7629]

Pouncy was great, but I gotta go with "Iron" Mike Webster as greatest center of all time. Dermonte Dawson was a good one. The three of them adds up .to about 40yrs anchor ing Offensive line .Looks like we got another good anchor with Frasier. Hope he can give us 12 -15 yrs. I'm so frigging spoiled ! 😅 "Roll Steel"

[@jayschill5049]

I’m only five minutes into this episode and I’ve already smiled more than I did all day!

[@starks1974]

Pounce is giving Ben his HOF induction speech. Bank it!!!

[@mattsmith8845]

I’ll watch Pouncey every time. My guy!

[@lindaragazzo3291]

Pounce’s love and respect for Ben is OFF THE CHARTS! And I’m totally here for it!

[@robbienayuh]

Put him in the ring of honor already! Pounce is our 🐐!

[@benkrenzer2702]

Watching this is the highlight of every week. Love the content, go Steelers.

[@wkhentertainment-vd1qc]

Love Mr. Pouncy. Dude is a class guy for sure. 50-year steeler fan.

[@sigsour5421]

I remember going to Atlanta for a Steelers game and the night before going to hooters and seeing Pouncey there and thinking damn, this guy is big

[@joegurbis3786]

Hell nah that Miami of Ohio is nasty work Ben 😂 Pounces face sends me with the disrespect he felt 😂❤This is my favorite Ep since the first pounce ep

[@Red-zh7vq]

Was really impressed with the Steelers performance yesterday

[@OGZach44]

Next week vs Indy, here we go!

[@CarrieAnn77]

Love this show but man Marquis Pouncey is amazing. He is that dude.🖤💛🖤💛

[@bigmac4266]

wow pounce looks good man good for him

[@MasonK124]

Big Ben !!!!!!!

[@JaquanGreen-m6x]

Childhood memories seeing yall Big Ben and Mike

[@denisedemchak9620]

Great to see the love between Ben & Pouncey!!

[@csflea]

I miss these 2 on the field ❤️💛🖤

[@nick56677]

Those offensive lines, especially those coached by Munchak were the best I ever seen. Pouncey, Decastro, Foster, Gilbert, Villanueva was a damn good Oline when it was there.

[@patch19811]

Yea, love you MP!

[@findingforgotten6096]

Channel Seven delivered on this one!

[@kylecherpak4306]

Pounceys laugh gets me every time😂

[@Bricks56]

😛

[@MarvyG23]

We need a show with the whole O-line

[@popblender]

One of the most truthful podcasts/streams out there for former or current players. Big Ben isn't bound by the rules of the team anymore. Are there certain topics or "codes" he can't breach? Of course. But I LOVE hearing these stories from my favorite players and guys I truly enjoyed watching. This is such a fun stream to watch!

[@iptoledo]

Pouncey saying facts, number seven was, is and will be unique !

[@bcrambo33]

Love the podcast guys! Started watching the Dad Tired one also, God bless!

[@cjmitch91]

I just grin watching these 2 together again. Pounce was the best center in the LEAGUE forever! True Steeler! Hall of Famer! Steelers! Retire 53

[@anitadoddroe5245]

What a great episode! Loved seeing Pouncey and listening to all the football talk!❤ Best news, though, was about someone giving their life to Christ because of your podcast. I think you were supposed to start the podcast again "for a time such as this" for the Lord to use you in a mighty way for His Kingdom! How exciting!😊

[@harvishmehta287]

I took Ben for granted. Miss that dude

[@youknowihaduwuittoem]

As soon as I saw Pounce on the Steelers IG, I knew he was gonna be in this episode.

[@christophersexton5778]

Awesome old skol episode I love this so happy 3-0 and old skol ben pod what more can u want hahaha

[@steelerscountry4849]

Really enjoy the platform. Thank you for the details and take on the games.

[@toninemeth-r9f]

Loved every second of itglad you are cack Pounce Loved this 100%

[@kentsturgill5945]

Great episode , two of my favorite all time Steelers!! Legends , future HOF'ers

[@dans30thta]

Pouncey's voice sounds like Owens 😂 I miss these guys playing.

[@purity6sic6mc]

Such a great show, you guys never disappoint. It was awesome seeing Pouncey it's crazy thinking that 2020 was his last season and his announcement in Feb 2021 that he's retiring. And thinking about Big Ben's retirement in 2022, time has flown by real quick.

[@morganforrest2887]

POUNCE! Saw him on the title was like no doubt gotta watch immediately. BEAST!

[@letstoastmedia3673]

Pounce. We need to come back at least 2 more times. Playoffs and after superbowl

[@NeweraGolf]

Y’all immediately get more than all the local and hard working small time KZbin dudes so don’t think we ain’t watching bro! Keep puttin in the work we see it

[@hillbillymagnum2017]

Big Ben the GOAT

[@chrisnutter8553]

Have Zach Frazier on the podcast! Absolutely love the show. Nothing but love keep it up

[@danguthrie9436]

The Dayton shout out! Lucky dudes got to golf with Ben. Dayton has a stronghold of Steelers fans and we love some Ben.

[@steeleru7burgh903]

Ben and Pounce should do a podcast!! Love ya Pouncey ❤❤❤❤

[@Suzyb7806]

Chuck Noll told players when they left football to get on with their life’s work.

[@shaunellis8253]

Pounce smacked.. I love it 😂

[@derriccoleman9375]

Always😂😂😂

[@JaquanGreen-m6x]

I love this Show

[@mendyrudolph6895]

JF2 is the best QB since you!

[@stoogeymcclahn5508]

Pounce's laugh is diabolical haha

[@JMillerGaming]

pounce we as fans truly understand completely what u mean bout playing with big ben, we've had a couple rough seasons lately...hopefully we got our next franchise guy out there now

[@SPIIIVA]

Slim Pounce! He looks like he can be our WR2.. 😂

[@eliat72]

Would love to see you guys get one or more of the Penguins on the podcast at some point this season. I know it's footbahlin but I enjoy seeing the teams support each other in Pittsburgh!

[@CarrieAnn77]

Trust and believe me as a Steelers fan we knew that Ben had the "IT FACTOR"... we almost knew it from the first year he stepped on the field. But by year two we won a Super Bowl and we knew Ben was IT!!. Hands down one of the best Steelers to ever don the black and gold. I know it wasn't. But #7 made it look easy.

[@user-nc9pc3gr4c]

Ben was great at running and staying in the pocket and extending plays.

[@dannydubois1712]

Guest are awesome, would be great to see some of the current guys, the OG’s are appreciated aswell

[@Quincyq15]

POUNCEY!!! Welcome home!

[@PrestigeWorldwide41269]

About time they got the beer back

[@jonathangomez2072]

LETS GOOOOOOO !!!!!! 🔥☝️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@eyeofthescar6890]

Imagine telling your center: "for the last 50 years, every long-term starter that's played your position played at a Hall of Fame level. Good luck.

[@eyeofthescar6890]

Is Ben thinking: I was undefeated as a rookie during the regular season.

[@ayrtonmanuelmorenocabriada3076]

Maaaan, Pounce should be a regular, this was so fun

[@christiancetina8957]

That was fun thanks guys :)

[@Paxx35]

Pouncey is a lil sloshed lol loved the episode!

[@RaminDaDream]

lol, noticed that as the episode went on

[@blakewillie6331]

I was thinking that

[@eduardoluisrivas3754]

We need pouncey in the podcast after every home game, let's make it a tradition.

[@caralfritzges1633]

This is the best!!🖤💛

[@caseycutrary816]

Big Ben! Best all-time🏈🏈💯

[@ryan8165]

Finally brought Pounce back!!

[@noahwick4499]

Named my dog after this stud glad he came on

[@TheCHOSENOneJones]

I agree Pouncy. I been saying Herbert reminds me of Big Ben since his rookie year! Got him in Fantasy😢
