Speaker 2: Good evening, Steeler Nation. How we doing well? That's good
Speaker 2: us too. It is our number three the bonus hour
Speaker 2: of the drive here from Saint Vincent College. As the
Speaker 2: day turns into the evening, and you know what that means.
Speaker 2: It's time for us to hit on the tweets here
Speaker 2: with all your questions, comments and concerns and reactions.
Speaker 3: Matt not looking like a five o'clock walk through.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3: I think today was pretty walk through ish at practice.
Speaker 2: Yes, And if you look over to our left mat,
Speaker 2: it looks like there's some food trucks rolling in, so
Speaker 2: maybe they've got some some team bonding stuff. You see
Speaker 2: those Yeah, yeah, yeah, the top of the baseball field.
Speaker 3: There, something's going on at the baseball field. I mean,
Speaker 3: I wonder if they're having the home run contast like
Speaker 3: they used to.
Speaker 2: I think they might be.
Speaker 3: They might be. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't quote me on this, I don't know anything,
Speaker 2: but with our extensive experience of our time of training
Speaker 2: camps in past, I would think that they're doing the
Speaker 2: home run derby now and then maybe some food trucks
Speaker 2: afterwards to celebrate.
Speaker 3: I think that's how they've done it in the past
Speaker 3: and probably keep that tradition going.
Speaker 2: So maybe if you, uh, if you stay tuned to
Speaker 2: the Steelers' social media accounts tonight, you could find out
Speaker 2: who won the home run derby.
Speaker 3: Some recent winners I think were Russ Wilson Fields. I
Speaker 3: know Queen did well. There's a first or second place
Speaker 3: the last couple of years. I forget who won it last.
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, was it schronic last year?
Speaker 3: Maybe? Maybe?
Speaker 2: But the year before it was Fields, he beat out
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson in an epic back and forth. And then
Speaker 2: the two years before that it was Kenny Pickett. He
Speaker 2: was a back to back Yeah, he was a back
Speaker 2: to back winner. And then uh and then Fields and
Speaker 2: I am drawn a blanket.
Speaker 3: I know Queen was in it to the.
Speaker 2: Might have been Queen last year. But yeah, that's a
Speaker 2: that's always an interesting thing to follow here, and it
Speaker 2: always gets those guys get real into it, as you
Speaker 2: can expect their professional.
Speaker 3: Last they should, right, And some of them have a
Speaker 3: pretty extensive baseball background.
Speaker 2: Too, Yes they do, they certainly do.
Speaker 3: They used tell stories. Remember Dennis Dixon, he was like
Speaker 3: a round pick. I guess he was a heck of
Speaker 3: a center fielder two and he was dominant in.
Speaker 2: That very very interesting, very interesting. Let's get to the
Speaker 2: tweets here. Oh yeah, you're like a lot of these
Speaker 2: guys played high level, you know, high level.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Michael Edesso, our buddy, says, I think Matt may owe
Speaker 2: a tiny apology to Robert Heath tanyan. He looked good
Speaker 2: out there in the number Yeah earlier, you sure did. Hey,
Speaker 2: let's maybe we can hold off on the Heath stuff.
Speaker 2: I know the numbers are saying, but if he could
Speaker 2: just be if he could just be a viable third
Speaker 2: tight end, I'll take it, baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he showed that. I feel more confident about
Speaker 3: him as the third tight end after seeing him play
Speaker 3: real football against guys that he should beat up on,
Speaker 3: and he did. It was a very good showing by him.
Speaker 2: Berg Sports says, Matt, can you please compare what Dak
Speaker 2: Prescott was when he was drafted as a prospect to
Speaker 2: Drew Aller? You know, Dak was also drafted lower, you know,
Speaker 2: push down the draft a little bit. And is there
Speaker 2: any similarities in his path that Drew Aller might be
Speaker 2: able to follow. That's a good question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna have to go back in the memory
Speaker 3: banks here a little bit. Now, Dak tore up preseason
Speaker 3: stuff training camp, and the and Romo got hurt. So
Speaker 3: there was a what it'd almost been knock on wood.
Speaker 3: We almost like if Rogers got hurt. Now, I mean
Speaker 3: there was a clear starter up in age that had
Speaker 3: a very successful career that got injured and never got
Speaker 3: the job back because they move to Dak and who
Speaker 3: became like a Rookie of the Year type dude. The
Speaker 3: same year they drafted Zeke Elliot. Those two were like
Speaker 3: the rookies in the league. Now, I do remember he
Speaker 3: was a fifth round pick. He is one of the
Speaker 3: few at the time, and it seems like it was
Speaker 3: so long ago I was brought up. You know in
Speaker 3: the scouting world that quarterbacks will never get more accurate
Speaker 3: at the NFL level, and it's harder to do there.
Speaker 3: They're never gonna get more accurate. Is the level of
Speaker 3: difficulty goes up. Well, that's drastically changed. Josh Allen's the
Speaker 3: best example ever. Hurts Dak is another one, and the
Speaker 3: big thing I attribute to it that's changed drastically since.
Speaker 3: Why I was taught these things two decades ago was
Speaker 3: all the private coaching these guys get from quarterback gurus,
Speaker 3: you know, away from the team, and all the biomechanics
Speaker 3: and all the technology and move your foot just a
Speaker 3: little bit this way and you know, new rotation. So
Speaker 3: he got drastically more accurate than he was in college
Speaker 3: and against more difficult Homer State competition. He also relied
Speaker 3: on his athleticism much more then than now. He had
Speaker 3: really bad injuries between now and then, but he was
Speaker 3: a top Notch. He was a B plus a minus
Speaker 3: runner and that got him out of a lot of
Speaker 3: trouble too. And they had a really good running game
Speaker 3: with Zeke, who was a stud at the time. But
Speaker 3: I don't know that there's a ton of similarities between
Speaker 3: him and al Or as you know, I'm not sure
Speaker 3: there's a lot of parallels there.
Speaker 2: Steele. Curtin says, depending on how things go this year,
Speaker 2: if I was the Roonies, I would be trying to
Speaker 2: bring Aaron Rodgers into my office and seeing what I
Speaker 2: could do to have him on the coaching staff next year.
Speaker 2: The information and the help that he gave on Thursday
Speaker 2: night was awesome. Steeve Kurt and I agree with you.
Speaker 2: But if you look at it, Matt, the ex quarterbacks
Speaker 2: turned coaches, they're the Koobi Acts and the other the
Speaker 2: Frank Reichs. Ben Roethlisberger doesn't go into coaching after playing
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning. These guys made a gazillion dollars,
Speaker 2: had all the success in the world. And this is
Speaker 2: another thing Arthur would tell you, because every once in
Speaker 2: a while when we'd be doing Twitter segments, Motes would
Speaker 2: get a question like, Hey, Motes, did you ever think
Speaker 2: about going into coaching, and he'd always be like, no,
Speaker 2: it's more of a time commitment than when you're a player. Hey, Mark,
Speaker 2: you're in the facility before the players. You're in the
Speaker 2: facility after the players. Yeah, you get no offseason because
Speaker 2: you're on to the next thing, and you.
Speaker 3: Probably make six figures, which for Aaron Rodgers is knocking
Speaker 3: a couple zeros off what he usually brings in a year.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's anxious to do other things, just kind
Speaker 3: of being around the guy, host Jeopardy or travel or
Speaker 3: do whatever he's gonna do. And frankly, it's not terrible suggestion.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think his influence on young quarterbacks is great,
Speaker 3: which is one of the pros to me of drafting
Speaker 3: one this year, because you know that guy Aller in
Speaker 3: this case gets a year just hanging in the room
Speaker 3: with that guy and just by osmosis, unless you're living
Speaker 3: under rock, you're gonna learn something. But if next year,
Speaker 3: let's say the quarterback room is Howard Aller and a
Speaker 3: first round pick or a second round pick or something
Speaker 3: like that, and none of them look like they're ready,
Speaker 3: what a huge distraction it's going to be to have
Speaker 3: the Hall of Famer in the building too, like you
Speaker 3: got to turn the page.
Speaker 2: Hey, can you sign a one year deal again?
Speaker 3: Aaron? Hey, you know what are you doing? Sunday?
Speaker 2: Adam says, everyone praising everyone is praising Aller, which is great. However,
Speaker 2: I believe we should all exercise caution. Kenny Pickett also
Speaker 2: had a phenomenal preseason phenomena how that turned out. It's
Speaker 2: funny you say that, Adam. I did the postgame show
Speaker 2: on Thursday night with Mike Persuda, and that's one thing
Speaker 2: that we mentioned. You cannot put the cart before the
Speaker 2: horse in these preseason goes. But you also, I echo
Speaker 2: the ton Chokin sentiment once again, you got to start somewhere,
Speaker 2: and if you can't beat the stiffs, you are a stiff, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is defuly a good thing. Again, we're
Speaker 3: not getting his jacket ready or saying he's a future starter.
Speaker 3: And Pickett's a great example. He tore up the entire
Speaker 3: preseason that year and didn't go so well after that.
Speaker 2: In the entire offense. I mean they were like the
Speaker 2: first team. They had five drives, scored like four touchdowns
Speaker 2: and had a field goal and then really and then
Speaker 2: the first game of the season against the Niners. It
Speaker 2: was twenty eight to nothing at half nine. Day Yeah
Speaker 2: right right, Max says, guys, you've been talking about the
Speaker 2: greens keeping out there at training camp. How is the
Speaker 2: new surface in the stadium on game day? It looked excellent.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw that.
Speaker 3: I did not go to the game. I did the
Speaker 3: preseason and then I watched it. Or I did the
Speaker 3: pregame and then I went home, because you actually did
Speaker 3: the post game for me.
Speaker 2: Yes, I did. They installed new grass at the field
Speaker 2: this show. So it's been Kentucky, been Kentucky blue grass
Speaker 2: in the past, right up your alley with two kids.
Speaker 3: That's a real thing UK. By the way, yeah, sure
Speaker 3: it is. It's not blue blue, but it's got a
Speaker 3: bluish tint to it.
Speaker 2: And they why did you went on sophisticated with your
Speaker 2: voice day? It's called a blue blueish I heard they
Speaker 2: recently added more hoops to it. That's a super bad
Speaker 2: reference for all of you at home.
Speaker 3: They did it driving there as we speak, getting there
Speaker 3: any minute.
Speaker 2: But he's listening to the show. I doubt it. Here's
Speaker 2: enough from his old man. Is he to listen to
Speaker 2: him for three hours on a setday. They did install
Speaker 2: a different kind of grass. Someone told me what it was.
Speaker 2: I'm I know, Kentucky blue grass. I think that's isn't
Speaker 2: there a Bermuda type something? But it wasn't that one.
Speaker 2: You know. I'm not Snoop Dogg. I'm not a grass expert, okay,
Speaker 2: but I do know that they changed it to something
Speaker 2: different this year and it looked really good. It looked
Speaker 2: like it held up well. The nugget that I got
Speaker 2: was it's the they switched to the same grass that
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles use. And remember the Eagles.
Speaker 3: Also say, is this a World Cup thing?
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a World Cup thing. I think
Speaker 2: it's a Eagles share their stadium with Temple as well,
Speaker 2: much like the Steelers do with Pitt and so the
Speaker 2: Eagles have had more success with this type in terms
Speaker 2: of usage for kind of multiple games.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, but some back to back stuff.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: Also, the same area of the country, give or take
Speaker 3: in terms of when it gets cold and nasty out, yeah,
Speaker 3: grass doesn't grow as well exactly right.
Speaker 2: Hey, there's not much we can take from Philadelphia, but
Speaker 2: maybe that's one of the things that we can Ian says,
Speaker 2: great work on the pregame and and the coverage for
Speaker 2: the preseason. Gentlemen, No on you guys. My three takeaways.
Speaker 2: Number one, the Nard Dog is a great receiver. That is,
Speaker 2: of course, Jeremy Bernard Nard Dog. Number two, the offensive
Speaker 2: line looked rusty, especially Dylan Cook and Faltanu.
Speaker 3: And we discussed. We discussed that rough tackle day.
Speaker 2: Rough rough tackle day. Not the greatest from the offensive
Speaker 2: line overall, although I did like what we saw from
Speaker 2: brock Hoffman. Maybe we can talk about that a little
Speaker 2: bit more too.
Speaker 3: He's a player, yeah, not that the other guys aren't.
Speaker 2: And number three, the Steelers are the Kings of drafting
Speaker 2: pre season Hall of Fame quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: I guess him and pick it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Howard to maybe Howard too. Let's see we get
Speaker 2: to one or two more here before we go to break.
Speaker 2: Corbyn says, is it more likely next year that Mike
Speaker 2: Tomlin is either the head coach of the Washington Commanders
Speaker 2: or Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or he's in the broadcast booth.
Speaker 3: I have no idea. I think it's too early to
Speaker 3: make that judgment. I'm not sure he would know.
Speaker 2: He probably wants to see how he likes this year
Speaker 2: of broadcasting too. He's still really early in that process.
Speaker 3: He might really really miss being in charge of a
Speaker 3: team pretty good at it.
Speaker 2: He was pretty good at it. He certainly was Steelers. Berner,
Speaker 2: our buddy from York who we met at Sharkey's a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, has two questions for us. Number one,
Speaker 2: does the E Rob signing spell the end for Malik Harrison?
Speaker 2: And also, do we think inside linebacker play may improve
Speaker 2: simply by just moving into Patrick Graham's schemes.
Speaker 3: I think yes and yes.
Speaker 2: I think yes and yes, And maybe you need to
Speaker 2: look at guy, you know. He mentions this guy's like
Speaker 2: Splaine and Eric Roberts who kind of went to Patrick
Speaker 2: Graham's defenses and and and had a little bit better
Speaker 2: of performances at least in terms of statistically.
Speaker 3: M hmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think yes and.
Speaker 3: Yes and yeah, I lean both both yes on that.
Speaker 2: I if you're asking me the guys that have the
Speaker 2: opportunity to really change a narrative this season, I would
Speaker 2: start with Patrick Queen and Peyton Wilson.
Speaker 3: Queen in particular, just because we've seen a lot of
Speaker 3: success in the league that's a very.
Speaker 2: Good point, very good point. Well, see if we can
Speaker 2: get to more of these tweets as we roll along, Well,
Speaker 2: certainly I've got some of these.
Speaker 3: Otherwise that could be a very underrated offseason need. Queen's
Speaker 3: are free agent. You're not going to get extend Wilson.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you don't go quarterback in the first round,
Speaker 3: it could be off the ball linebacker. That's really looking ahead.
Speaker 2: But maybe maybe we'll maybe we'll add some linebackers to
Speaker 2: a round campus as this season rolls along. I do
Speaker 2: want to hear a little bit from Keanu Benton when
Speaker 2: we return. Maybe we'll hit some more of your tweets
Speaker 2: as we continue to react to, of course, the news
Speaker 2: of today, which is the Keanu Benton contract extension, and
Speaker 2: the news of the weekend, which is all these preseason
Speaker 2: games and the Pittsburgh Steelers victorious first effort against the
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers. Plenty more to cover as we roll
Speaker 2: along here, West Huler, Matt Williamson. It's all part of
Speaker 2: our training camp coverage Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers

Speaker 2: Only a couple more of these bonus hours left in
Speaker 2: this twenty twenty six training camp at Saint Vincent College.
Speaker 2: Matt We mentioned it earlier today down at the Fred
Speaker 2: Rogers Center at the bottom of the hill, which is
Speaker 2: where the Steelers do press conferences, and that's kind of
Speaker 2: the makeshift media Yeah yeah, media area. During training camp,
Speaker 2: newest Steelers extension signee Kean Ubenten went to the podium
Speaker 2: to kind of do you know, as these guys always
Speaker 2: do when you sign an extension, there's media availability about it.
Speaker 2: The big man get in a bag and here's what
Speaker 2: he had to say.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, First of all, I just wanna say I'm excited.
Speaker 5: This is a dream come true for me and my family.
Speaker 5: I wanna think Mr Rooney, ms uh Omar, I wanna
Speaker 5: think Mike t. I wanna thank my parents, my family,
Speaker 5: the whole Stillers organization, Uh, my beautiful girlfriend, all my
Speaker 5: boys who I put in and work with to get
Speaker 5: to this point. I'm just forever grateful, uh God putting
Speaker 5: me in these positions to overcome obstacles and come out
Speaker 5: on top each and every time. So I just wanna
Speaker 5: thank all those people and can't wait to see what
Speaker 5: the future holdes Keana.
Speaker 6: A couple months ago, you were the one standing in
Speaker 6: the back room for.
Speaker 7: Nick when he got his uh he got his extension.
Speaker 5: What does it mean to you that both of you
Speaker 5: guys long as you can friends both, they'll have your
Speaker 5: extensions and are playing here for so much longer. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you know, it's a dream come true. This is our
Speaker 5: seven eighth year playing together, uh consecutively. I think it
Speaker 5: means the world. You know, I was back there, I
Speaker 5: was celebrating for him, but then at the same time
Speaker 5: getting that itch like when is my turn gonna come?
Speaker 5: But now we both we both got our contract done
Speaker 5: and we can kind of take this thing to the
Speaker 5: next level.
Speaker 4: Ye Can you kind of take me.
Speaker 2: Back to UH mobile during the Senior Bowl during your
Speaker 2: draft process.
Speaker 4: I remember being down there and speaking with some of
Speaker 4: the stewers people that were there, and they.
Speaker 7: Were just really impressed in you during that time.
Speaker 4: From that point on through the entire draft process, can
Speaker 4: you remember just your interactions with the stewers and could
Speaker 4: you have imagine getting to this point now where uniform
Speaker 4: just drafted by.
Speaker 7: The getting a second concert. Yeah, you know it was.
Speaker 7: It was pretty brief at the Senior Bowl.
Speaker 5: It w It was kind of crazy cause you know,
Speaker 5: you see Mike t on television and stuff like that,
Speaker 5: but he just came up on the side note after
Speaker 5: a pass to us and told me I was something special.
Speaker 5: So him him actually going through with his words and
Speaker 5: and picking me up in the draft in the second round,
Speaker 5: UH meant the world to me.
Speaker 7: And then now I'm with PG who is my head coach.
Speaker 5: At the Senior Bowl, it's just, you know, this whole
Speaker 5: thing just goes full circle and you never know who
Speaker 5: you'll be playing for. Just respecting everybody and making the
Speaker 5: most of every situation.
Speaker 4: You're in.
Speaker 6: Tell you're the third game from your draft class to
Speaker 6: get a contract extension.
Speaker 4: Seems like possible as there could be more. How early
Speaker 4: on did.
Speaker 6: You guys realize the group of you together we're gonna
Speaker 6: be pretty special.
Speaker 4: For this team.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we knew it right off.
Speaker 4: Rip.
Speaker 5: We had a we had this bond that that was untouchable.
Speaker 5: And I feel like that's important, especially going into the league,
Speaker 5: because you know, you got that bond in college because
Speaker 5: you know, everybody is still young. You know, you meet
Speaker 5: new people, you get that brotherhood, but when you get
Speaker 5: to the league, it kind of leaks off a little bit.
Speaker 5: Everybody got families and stuff like that. But we kind
Speaker 5: of made a promise to our class that were gonna
Speaker 5: stay close and stay at it. So I feel like
Speaker 5: we had we had to uh hold each other accountable
Speaker 5: and it just became contagious. Same times, seems like you
Speaker 5: guys are building a uh young defensive.
Speaker 7: Line movement, but you still cam in the room.
Speaker 6: You Derek White, guys like Game Reel, guys like a.
Speaker 7: Little they think you guys have anna come up.
Speaker 2: What does it mean that you what you guys been
Speaker 2: able to build in just your couple of years together
Speaker 2: figuring each other out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think this is just the stepping stones to
Speaker 7: something special. Uh.
Speaker 5: I feel like all those guys, including myself, you know,
Speaker 5: you just find little.
Speaker 7: Things to get better at each day, each week.
Speaker 5: Just figuring each other out is it comes along with
Speaker 5: just playing playing with each other over a period of time.
Speaker 5: And I think this is gonna come naturally and and
Speaker 5: we're gonna be.
Speaker 7: A pretty good group up front.
Speaker 3: What did you notice a contract was kind of kind
Speaker 3: of be on the horizon.
Speaker 4: I'm sure you're Asians and the team caught, but when
Speaker 4: did you kind.
Speaker 2: Of start dialing in though?
Speaker 3: I think it might be today, that last Saturday. Hypothetically
Speaker 3: it was coming.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I knew it was coming eventually, but
Speaker 5: just didn't know when.
Speaker 7: See, I still ain't got a haircut today. If I
Speaker 7: if I.
Speaker 5: Knew, uh it was today, Uh, I would definitely got
Speaker 5: cleaned up a little bit. But I was just trying
Speaker 5: to focus on making the most of these last few
Speaker 5: days of camp and let my agent figure out the
Speaker 5: whole contract situation, not play as much.
Speaker 6: News and play a little bit more either goats the
Speaker 6: situations or more of you.
Speaker 7: Know, outside Moorish. Is that is that happening this year
Speaker 7: or so?
Speaker 4: And is that what you want.
Speaker 7: Producing sacks and things? Is that something that you you
Speaker 7: wanna I feel like I can play all over the
Speaker 7: D line.
Speaker 5: Where I'm gonna play and how much I'm gonna play
Speaker 5: and each position is up to my coach, So I'm
Speaker 5: ready for whatever. At this point from Northlea said that
Speaker 5: there's a definitely more there work comes in your game,
Speaker 5: and I.
Speaker 2: Think this extension probably also kind of speaks to that.
Speaker 4: How do you feel like there's more in there?
Speaker 6: What do you feel like you need to do more,
Speaker 6: whether that's your own performance, how you wanna fit.
Speaker 2: Into this special particular scheme, what do you need to
Speaker 2: do to to get to that next level for you?
Speaker 5: I think it's just the the m utilizing me in
Speaker 5: different places on the D line.
Speaker 7: I feel like that's something I ha. I haven't had
Speaker 7: the opportunity to.
Speaker 5: Do as much to this point, but I I'm I'm
Speaker 5: feeling that that's what I'm gonna be doing this year,
Speaker 5: just moving around, being that that army Swiss knife that
Speaker 5: can plug in left right, middle, just playing all those
Speaker 5: positions and getting after the quarterback for sir, you heard.
Speaker 7: Uh first person her?
Speaker 2: How did you find out last night that that you
Speaker 2: was done? It was the first person he told him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I was in my bed actually, uh that
Speaker 5: my agent told me to call him. And I assume
Speaker 5: cause if you not about telling me to call you
Speaker 5: for no reason, why I'm about to go to bed.
Speaker 5: But we actually added Nick to the call first, and
Speaker 5: then I was able to tell my my.
Speaker 7: Uh girlfriend, and then my my parents.
Speaker 4: Well and what was that call?
Speaker 5: Like that?
Speaker 2: Did you know that he.
Speaker 7: Was gonna tell you, like, hey, it's done when you
Speaker 7: added Nick to the call. I mean, I assume when
Speaker 7: like he added to him after he told me.
Speaker 5: But uh, I assume just because you not telling me
Speaker 5: to call you at ten o'clock for no reason after
Speaker 5: I told you I'm in bed.
Speaker 7: So it got it better be something. Did you sleep
Speaker 7: after that? Not really?
Speaker 5: Me and Nick stayed up for a little bit, just
Speaker 5: talking and you know, reflecting on how far we came
Speaker 5: for real. You know that seven years done went by
Speaker 5: kind of fast, but he made a lot of progress
Speaker 5: within it.
Speaker 3: You know, we've heard a lot from players in the
Speaker 3: defense talking about how Patrick Graham has worked so much
Speaker 3: closer with the D line as the decordinator. What has
Speaker 3: he been like?
Speaker 7: And he focuses extra hit on with you guys along
Speaker 7: with you know the back.
Speaker 4: Old and what do you guys already have.
Speaker 5: I think it's been awesome. He's a old D line
Speaker 5: coach and he not afraid to show it. He he
Speaker 5: not afraid to speak his mind and I love that
Speaker 5: about him. He he brings a different edge to us.
Speaker 5: And it's always nice to have another person's like opinion
Speaker 5: on like on your staff on what's going on and
Speaker 5: having having multiple minds working on the same thing. But
Speaker 5: I think he brings a lot to us and just
Speaker 5: making it a lot easier for us.
Speaker 7: Is there a difference in how he coaches you guys
Speaker 7: to maybe.
Speaker 3: Hold up offensive line in a bit more to keep
Speaker 3: the linebackers clean.
Speaker 2: That was something that I was talking to some of
Speaker 2: the linebackers.
Speaker 3: He said, like, you know, especially in.
Speaker 2: The first preseason game, how clean they or versus you know, you.
Speaker 7: Guys focusing on attacking. It seems like there might be
Speaker 7: a different emphasis this year. Is that a different emphasis
Speaker 7: for you guys as a D line or that's the
Speaker 7: thing you guys always did.
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like he's he's almost doing the opposite,
Speaker 5: like he's he's telling the linebackers to keep us clean
Speaker 5: when they're pressing gaps and making sure they're kind of
Speaker 5: getting down here and not letting them double team stay
Speaker 5: on us.
Speaker 7: But I think he's doing the great job of that.
Speaker 6: What's the congratulations?
Speaker 3: What's the first thing you're gonna get anything in mind?
Speaker 7: Yet?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 7: I got pretty much everything I want for real.
Speaker 5: I'm not ready to spend it all yet, but we're
Speaker 5: gonna have some fun for sure.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 7: Good, all right, thank you.
Speaker 2: That was Steeler's newly extended defensive lineman Keanu Benton, speaking
Speaker 2: just an hour or two ago down at the Rogers
Speaker 2: Center his press conference. Uh, after the contract extension, Matt,
Speaker 2: we kind of spent a good chunk of the first
Speaker 2: we're talking about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and big deal.
Speaker 2: It's a it's a big deal. It is a big number,
Speaker 2: not necessarily in the grand scheme of the NFL, but
Speaker 2: just on paper, the kind of sticker price. But as
Speaker 2: we kind of outlined, man, if he just continues to
Speaker 2: grow and grow and slides into maybe a more favorable
Speaker 2: role here in this Patrick Graham defense, that contract is
Speaker 2: gonna look very favorable here in another year two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they'll take long before you can
Speaker 3: really reevaluate it. If he takes one step forward, if
Speaker 3: he takes two steps forward, you're whole bargain.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, one more segment to go. On the
Speaker 2: other side, we will round out the day's proceedings from
Speaker 2: here at Saint Vincent College where Matt it looks like
Speaker 2: the Saint Vincent football team is getting some work done
Speaker 2: down on the on the small turf field there. We've ye,
Speaker 2: we've talked about that before. How when you get to
Speaker 2: the last couple of days of KUP, you'll start to
Speaker 2: see the Saint Vincent like football and soccer and lacrosse
Speaker 2: teams having some evening practices here. So some more to
Speaker 2: get to, some teas to cross, some eyes to dot.
Speaker 2: We'll hear a little bit from Mike McCarthy as well
Speaker 2: when we close things down. On the other side, Well
Speaker 2: Shuler at Williamson It's the Drive Steelers Nation Radio on

Speaker 2: Final segment here on this Saturday edition of the Drive,
Speaker 2: And of course, a lot of the conversation today around
Speaker 2: some contract extensions for Benton and across the league, but
Speaker 2: a lot of what we discussed being of course, the
Speaker 2: Steelers first preseason game on Thursday, and let's hear from
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy. He recapped some of that. Now you know
Speaker 2: a few days out, Matt. You you always hear from
Speaker 2: the coaches after the games, But then I like hearing
Speaker 2: from him a day or two later, because you know
Speaker 2: they've had time to watch the film, really dissect it.
Speaker 2: Really think.
Speaker 3: I always think it's like unfair to interview a coach
Speaker 3: right after the game. I bet them to be on
Speaker 3: top of everything, and like, why'd you make this exact
Speaker 3: call and tell me about this exact injury. It's like
Speaker 3: it's a busy here, yeah, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know you're on the sideline play by play.
Speaker 2: You might not have gotten the best look at a
Speaker 2: controversial penalty or or things like that. So I do
Speaker 2: always like hearing the coaches thoughts, you know, a day
Speaker 2: or two after the fact. And here's what Mike McCarthy
Speaker 2: had to say earlier.
Speaker 6: I know you and uh, you know, walking to a
Speaker 6: new situation. I mean, I've always felt this way, and
Speaker 6: it's a it's a it's a great day when you're
Speaker 6: when one of your players gets a second contract. You know,
Speaker 6: when KB walked into the team meeting, everybody applauded. So
Speaker 6: I think that tells you right there how everybody feels
Speaker 6: about him. So, as I've said before, if you know
Speaker 6: a thousand charge of the money, i'd I'd pay 'em
Speaker 6: all and we wouldn't have any money. But uh, I
Speaker 6: think it's important, you know. I I I believe in
Speaker 6: draft and development. I mean, that's that's been the mode
Speaker 6: of operation that I've worked under, you know, my whole
Speaker 6: time as a head coach. And and it's important, it's
Speaker 6: so important to this year. It's important to moving forward.
Speaker 6: So it's uh, you know, it's new for me cause
Speaker 6: you know, I'm I'm the coach you know in in
Speaker 6: In my opinion is it's probably the shortest because of
Speaker 6: you know, just a limit of time that I've.
Speaker 4: Had with these guys.
Speaker 6: But you know, Kean event getting that contract today, I
Speaker 6: think that's that's.
Speaker 4: Huge for him.
Speaker 6: And I had a chance to visit with him last
Speaker 6: night and just you know, all happy he is for
Speaker 6: you know, him and his family and and that's a
Speaker 6: that's that's a big day for those you know, anytime
Speaker 6: most guys get that contract.
Speaker 4: So very happy for him, and your time around here
Speaker 4: would have stun up you uh vet what a kind
Speaker 4: of player he is?
Speaker 6: Well, I think the way I would describe when his smile,
Speaker 6: you know, h his smile R reflects the energy that
Speaker 6: he plays with. You know, he's a he's a big guy,
Speaker 6: he's his twitch, uh you know, his his uh athletic ability.
Speaker 6: I think there's definitely an you know, there's more there
Speaker 6: as far as the ceiling. So that that's you know,
Speaker 6: that's my personal opinion on him. I think there's a
Speaker 6: lot of football in front of him too. So I
Speaker 6: I think that's exciting. You know, you look at the
Speaker 6: dynamics of our of our defensive line room.
Speaker 4: I mean, boy, we you know, we.
Speaker 6: Have a a really good blend of veteran A and
Speaker 6: young guys and you know obviously having a rookie in
Speaker 6: there too. So that then that's that's that, that's something
Speaker 6: that you know bodes well for us, you know today
Speaker 6: and moving forward, Like looking back at the say, uh,
Speaker 6: what did you like about your quarterbacks assault? Well, I'll
Speaker 6: say this all I thought all three quarterbacks commanded the huddle,
Speaker 6: they commanded the operation. I thought our our operation, we
Speaker 6: got off to a good start. I mean there wasn't
Speaker 6: you know, any hiccups. You know, you know, we continue
Speaker 6: to really strive to be better in the pre snap.
Speaker 6: You know, that was really part of what today's practice
Speaker 6: was to go back and correct it. So but I
Speaker 6: think for the first game, I thought they did a
Speaker 6: really good job of managing the game, you know, playing
Speaker 6: the play, not getting outside themselves. So I liked their
Speaker 6: time clock when they activated the scrambles rule. You know,
Speaker 6: they didn't come out too soon. They hung in there.
Speaker 6: Try to step up in the A and B gapps. Uh,
Speaker 6: so we had some good play extension production and you know,
Speaker 6: and I thought their ball placement decision making was.
Speaker 4: Was was strong for the first time out.
Speaker 6: So and you know, so much of preseason football is
Speaker 6: number one, you know, particularly young guys that get out
Speaker 6: there to their assignment strong.
Speaker 4: And but you also.
Speaker 6: As a quarterback, you got to you got to know
Speaker 6: how to react when the guy doesn't run the right route.
Speaker 6: And you know, Will had one and I thought he
Speaker 6: did a good job of gett you know, getting on
Speaker 6: to the to the second receiver and trying to get
Speaker 6: to the checkout. So, uh, those are all positive little
Speaker 6: They're all they're all positive little little things that uh,
Speaker 6: you know, just through experience you learn to see how
Speaker 6: they handle handle that too. So but uh, number one
Speaker 6: was a ball security. That's you know, that's the first
Speaker 6: thing we always talked about, and you know, and then
Speaker 6: the correction component of so we we did a good
Speaker 6: job taking care of the ball.
Speaker 4: But I thought they got off to a good start.
Speaker 7: You also brought back to provert what did she this?
Speaker 6: I ti Land and I just you know, know of
Speaker 6: him of reputation, but uh, just to see him walk
Speaker 6: in the locker room last night, and the credibility, uh
Speaker 6: that he has, you know, he is. Ah, I've always
Speaker 6: viewed him as a physical school type linebacker, but you know,
Speaker 6: big smile and you could just see the way everybody
Speaker 6: reacted to them, coaches and players alike last night. So
Speaker 6: it's it's great to have him back in the mix.
Speaker 4: Did you hear from Patrick Graham on that signing and.
Speaker 6: Did he suggest Yeah, Patrick had a very very positive
Speaker 6: opinion of Yes, Well.
Speaker 7: Coached your pots Or to play on Blue Nichols and
Speaker 7: campaign and as what was the game a couple of
Speaker 7: days ago.
Speaker 6: Well, I, you know, I think number one, you know,
Speaker 6: the individual, you know the individual you know, breakdown of
Speaker 6: each guy.
Speaker 4: I you know, I I'm I'm not going.
Speaker 6: To go pro you know, up and down it specifically,
Speaker 6: but you know, I'll say with our defense, you know,
Speaker 6: we we the big picture is we want we wanted
Speaker 6: to get off, you know, play physical. I I thought
Speaker 6: we were you know, physical, more physical our opponent you know,
Speaker 6: for for.
Speaker 4: The most part of the of the game.
Speaker 6: So that's that's just number one box you wanna check
Speaker 6: and now we have to build off of that. So
Speaker 6: definitely playing it into that special teams you know also
Speaker 6: was it was a good I I thought up front,
Speaker 6: you know, offensively when we didn't have you know, when
Speaker 6: the assignment or you know, the the technicality of it
Speaker 6: wasn't exactly right.
Speaker 4: So I thought we got off.
Speaker 6: The f uh first, a good start there, but you
Speaker 6: know it flew to the ball. I I think the
Speaker 6: one we talked it was hit last night or two
Speaker 6: nights ago. Is the last thing too with the penalties,
Speaker 6: So you know, we'll take a probably a deeper dive
Speaker 6: into that in the team period tomorrow, uh, because I
Speaker 6: think it's important to make sure I'm clearly explaining and
Speaker 6: emphasizing where we are today as a team and where
Speaker 6: I'm going at too is you know, you asked your
Speaker 6: team to be physical and to cut it loose, to
Speaker 6: lay it out there, and you know then with that
Speaker 6: comes to discipline. So discipline in the gray area, because
Speaker 6: you know we had we had some penalties. There were
Speaker 6: clear cut penalties, you know, as far as a hand
Speaker 6: placement or you know, uh, being the second reactor to
Speaker 6: a situation on the boundaries, so that you know, the
Speaker 6: pre stut penalties are unacceptable for as much time as
Speaker 6: we've emphasized and and corrected in the pre snapp we
Speaker 6: we we need to we need to step We got
Speaker 6: to take that up a step there.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: That that's you know, as part of today's work too,
Speaker 6: is to just make sure we're clean there. But you know,
Speaker 6: the gray area penalties, we got to make sure we
Speaker 6: were we you know, we want to play with pure
Speaker 6: physicality and then be technically correct in the moment with
Speaker 6: so you know, I think when you try to train
Speaker 6: your team and to be technically correct and then you're
Speaker 6: on your ass about being physical, that that's that's just
Speaker 6: not the method that that that we're gonna go here.
Speaker 4: It's about being physical first.
Speaker 6: It's about you know, you know, first guy that throws
Speaker 6: the first punch and the guy that gets his hands
Speaker 6: inside and has the highest percentage of winning that down
Speaker 6: winning that particular battle. So we'll just keep emphasizing it.
Speaker 6: And I thought our players that had I thought they
Speaker 6: did a really nice job doing it. I was I
Speaker 6: was pleased with the overroll football team. Right.
Speaker 3: The NFL has now allowed and coaches to designate someone else.
Speaker 7: To go to challenge. Do you wanna keep guy to
Speaker 7: do that or do you go somebody else.
Speaker 6: That's gonna you know, I think we you know, I
Speaker 6: understand you know, scars are gonna miss a day or two,
Speaker 6: and uh, he would be the one person that that
Speaker 6: you know, that would probably fit that role. I know
Speaker 6: he's done that in the past. You know, I was
Speaker 6: frankly surprised by it. I find out about it at
Speaker 6: the same time that they that y all did, and
Speaker 6: he ends did excuse me. So you know, we'll talk
Speaker 6: about it, you know, I didn't give much thought outside
Speaker 6: of the conversation when the when it came out, just
Speaker 6: cause I've done it for so long, so and if
Speaker 6: if there's a better way to do it.
Speaker 4: But we have a network.
Speaker 6: You know, we have people in the box and you
Speaker 6: know who's communicating and you know.
Speaker 4: We have more than one set eyes on it for sure.
Speaker 6: Uh So we have a communication network that's you know,
Speaker 6: part of our game management process. So we'll talk about it.
Speaker 6: But I, you know, I I don't see I don't
Speaker 6: see it changing.
Speaker 7: Have you decided whuch coaches you're gonna have in a
Speaker 7: box and you.
Speaker 6: Like the coordinates on the side of well, we'll we'll
Speaker 6: we'll work it differently this uh this week, you know,
Speaker 6: so we we have t you know, two plans, you know,
Speaker 6: So I think our offensive plan was was solid, you know,
Speaker 6: but I I know Patrick, uh speaking to him, you know,
Speaker 6: after the game and again this morning, so we we
Speaker 6: may we may look at a different you.
Speaker 4: Know, another option. Just which is normal.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, I you know, it's not every year,
Speaker 6: but when you have new coaches, you know, sp you know,
Speaker 6: some guys are better in the box, some guys are
Speaker 6: better in the field, some guys have more experienced in
Speaker 6: the walk some guys and vice versa. So you know,
Speaker 6: it's just really you know, learning, you know, your your staff.
Speaker 6: You know, every day we're you know, it's my first
Speaker 6: time going through this with them. It's it's a lot
Speaker 6: of their first time being in this program of how
Speaker 6: you know, I want things to look. And it's our
Speaker 6: first time here at Saint Vincent. So it's you know,
Speaker 6: hopefully we're getting better. There's a lot of notes that
Speaker 6: we think every day about things will tweak and change
Speaker 6: for next year. So I mean that's I think that's
Speaker 6: just part of you know, even like to day today.
Speaker 4: So I mean, you know, we'll do this schedule this
Speaker 4: this day.
Speaker 6: Next year, we'll we'll be we'll be done differently, so
Speaker 6: it's it's the same thing for the box.
Speaker 4: So we'll just keep talking about it at quarterbacks. So
Speaker 4: much with the footwork and all the mechanics, did those
Speaker 4: guys were they able to kind of stick through that
Speaker 4: sometimes of like multile memory that live.
Speaker 6: Action takes you out of that rhythm to kind of Yeah,
Speaker 6: I thought, if you're watching the tape, I think there's
Speaker 6: some good, good, good examples of you know, when they
Speaker 6: when they go through the progression one too and then
Speaker 6: maybe have be got pressure at a sleeper feet. You know,
Speaker 6: you can see them hopping. You just give you some insight,
Speaker 6: you know, just you know they're we don't teach 'em
Speaker 6: a hop so you know they're they slide their feed
Speaker 6: cleats in a ground. So, uh, I thought, I thought
Speaker 6: all three of those guys did a nice job.
Speaker 2: Mike.
Speaker 7: Were you seeing some of the things that we saw
Speaker 7: in the game and game.
Speaker 4: Weegen you see roude or when did that catch you
Speaker 4: or were you seeing develop Uh?
Speaker 6: We need more of it, frankly, I mean I was,
Speaker 6: you know, I'm glad to seeing right, you know, he went,
Speaker 6: you know, he ran the route and and really the
Speaker 6: throw the throw in the in the time of the decision,
Speaker 6: it was was a big part of that success. So
Speaker 6: you know, I thought that was a really good play
Speaker 6: for him.
Speaker 4: You know, he needs to get an INDI end zone.
Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's that's the kind of player we
Speaker 6: we viewed him as when we drafted him out of Ioway.
Speaker 4: So you know, he's he's young, he needs uh, he's.
Speaker 6: Got some things he's got to clean up. But you know,
Speaker 6: with his job responsibilities, when we put him in space,
Speaker 6: we expect him to score two.
Speaker 2: More guys, two more Cause what have you learned about
Speaker 2: your defense under uh?
Speaker 4: Pat right now that you've seen him, you think wins.
Speaker 6: Situation, you know, uh, And that's why it it's so
Speaker 6: important when you when you get together. You know, it's
Speaker 6: a veteran group. You know, we still have some you know,
Speaker 6: veterans that still haven't practiced yet. So we made a huge,
Speaker 6: huge emphasis on the communication component of it, which you
Speaker 6: always do in year one. So that's not abnormal, but
Speaker 6: you know, we it's not only do we have a
Speaker 6: new staff, but you know, we have some veteran players
Speaker 6: that have played in the system here last year, but
Speaker 6: to play other places. So really like pulling that together,
Speaker 6: is that there's some real important hurdles you need to
Speaker 6: get over. So I think, you know, I like the
Speaker 6: way they're communicating and and didn't really see you know,
Speaker 6: we really didn't have any of those are things you
Speaker 6: see more during the game and then you.
Speaker 4: Talk about afterwards.
Speaker 6: And that's why sometimes when you get into post game
Speaker 6: and they asked you a question about, you know, a
Speaker 6: combination block, and unless we had time to correct it
Speaker 6: right there, you know, was it did it you know
Speaker 6: the center? Could he call a three man's game or
Speaker 6: did he go with a two man's game? Or was
Speaker 6: a communication hurt? So I don't think we saw really
Speaker 6: had any of that on the defensive side of the ball,
Speaker 6: so which which I was excited about because you know,
Speaker 6: in year one, you know you want to get the
Speaker 6: communication off and I and I just you know, you'll
Speaker 6: get tired to hear me quote Marty Schoenheimer. But I
Speaker 6: thought one of the best things a lot of great
Speaker 6: things he did, but when the when the team, when
Speaker 6: you didn't have when you had a lot of mental
Speaker 6: airs or miss assignment, I mean he'd walk, he'd walk
Speaker 6: in the offensive staff, meaning you had twelve runs up
Speaker 6: there that were going into the game, he'd cut that
Speaker 6: thing to eight. And he says, you know, he just
Speaker 6: you know, when when the when them as are up
Speaker 6: and Emmy's up, that's on the coaches, you know. And
Speaker 6: we we got to do a better job of keeping
Speaker 6: our volume tight because we got to communicate because we
Speaker 6: you know, I'm a big believer, and you know, just
Speaker 6: get get the call in. You know, we had all
Speaker 6: our calls, most of our calls have adjustment opportunities. And
Speaker 6: get it to p Q. Let him get that front set.
Speaker 6: You know, let this linemen, you know, read the two
Speaker 6: man three man surface. Let's get this thing and let's
Speaker 6: get it on. And I and I for it to
Speaker 6: be as simple as it could be. That's the way
Speaker 6: we want to play. And now we have play this game.
Speaker 6: Patrick's you know, getting in Joe and and j you know,
Speaker 6: those those guys have done a hell of a job
Speaker 6: putting together a schematic playbook that you know, we got
Speaker 6: a lot of bulls to fly shoot, but we we
Speaker 6: gotta make sure the ones we got loaded, they're they're
Speaker 6: they're ready to go. So I thought we got off
Speaker 6: to a good start.
Speaker 4: There might last one. The injuries that you can make
Speaker 4: at them. You want can you see them practice so
Speaker 4: much longer? Do you see them?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they're gonna be hard pressed to work
Speaker 6: this week, you know. So I that was frankly, Uh,
Speaker 6: today's work was a little bit of reflection of you know,
Speaker 6: our our health you know health reporter, you know where
Speaker 6: we are medically.
Speaker 4: So hopefully this gives these guys, you.
Speaker 6: Know, all the guys that have you know, something that
Speaker 6: come out of the game nextra day to get there
Speaker 6: get their legs back. But uh, we do wanna go
Speaker 6: you know, not a full two and a half hours,
Speaker 6: uh Sunday Monday, but we'll be about to you know,
Speaker 6: two hours and twenty minutes is where we're where we
Speaker 6: have scheduled. So we will we wanna have two really
Speaker 6: good practices, you know. Sunday will be install eight. That's
Speaker 6: it'll be the last install, so we're only having seven
Speaker 6: installs next years to change for you there you go
Speaker 6: get some scoop. But so we'll get that in and
Speaker 6: then then we'll score working on Monday a little bit
Speaker 6: of jets. But I do want to see as much
Speaker 6: competitive you know, offense versus defense, vice versa.
Speaker 4: So that's always our best work, all right, thank you.
Speaker 2: That's Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy, now undefeated in his
Speaker 2: black and gold tenure.
Speaker 3: Okay, I like that.
Speaker 2: Drew Aller's getting his camp. Mike McCarthy's going, we're gonna
Speaker 2: go what twenty and oh this year? Also, yeah, it
Speaker 2: would be twenty and oh this year if you ran
Speaker 2: the table. Nothing to worry about except for where the
Speaker 2: parade is going to be in Pittsburgh in February. I
Speaker 2: have a you know, Liberty Avenue, Fifth Avenue.
Speaker 3: I'm sure's plenty of fun spots, right, have.
Speaker 2: It down to Point State Park and we can all
Speaker 2: just we can all just gather there. But that will
Speaker 2: do it for our show today. Had a lot of fun, Matt.
Speaker 2: I'll just say it's good having some football back, man,
Speaker 2: some real tangible, real tangible football on. There's some more
Speaker 2: preseason games, uh, that we're going on today and to night.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll have some more conversation from those tomorrow, and
Speaker 2: we will certainly continue to download more thoughts from the
Speaker 2: Steelers first preseason games and from all the moving and
Speaker 2: shaking here at Saint Vincent College. But that will do
Speaker 2: it for us today. Big thanks to Justin Miller, our
Speaker 2: guy back at the ranch for producing for Matt Williams
Speaker 2: and Unbuschheler. Take care everybody, and we will talk to
Speaker 2: you tomorrow. As always, you know where to find us.
