Speaker 2: We're all along here at practice at Saint Vincent College,

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: our pen ultimate practice of this training camp period. For

10
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: those of you who don't use big words like Matt

11
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: and I, pen ultimate means next to last.

12
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: I learned that late in life.

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: I do that a couple of I thought it was

14
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: like the last, like the ultimate one. I thought that

15
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: ultimate was like a fancy way of saying extra ultimate.

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly as a couple of years ago, I hadn't

17
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: heard that word much, And now people use it all

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: the time, and I definitely didn't know what it meant.

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 2: Well, I guess they've just been listening to me too much.

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: That could be true too, Aaron Rodgers on quirks one

21
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: down the field for hurlmanah gutsy throw broken up well

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: by Joey Porter Junior as well to close him down

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: on that one.

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: Hurlman's really grown on me. I don't know if there's

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 3: a spot for him.

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that as we kind of continue to bob and

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: wee between practice and pre season observations, Matt, but I

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: continue to like what we saw from him. I mean,

29
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: scored that touchdown. He he lines up and does a

30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: lot of different things. But again, though, as you mentioned,

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: the big question is is there or where is the

32
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: spot for him?

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and even like that one is a downfield forty

34
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: yard route. I mean you look at him. Part of

35
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: its skin color obviously, but its stature. I mean you

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: think of him as like a Welker Edelman inside slot,

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: and he does do a lot of those things. But

38
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: he's fast, and he is more athletic than probably giving

39
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: credit for. He throws his body around, has special team capability.

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: He's both as a returner and is like a guy

41
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 3: that will run down and tackle you on punt or

42
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: kickoff team. I really hope he's here next year, you

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like I look at a lot

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 3: of these dudes, like, just get him the Saint Vincent's

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 3: a year from now, you know, And that's a long

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: winding roads saying, you know, like I don't know if

47
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: he can be one of the top five receivers. And

48
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 3: Scronic's going to make the team too, And but I

49
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 3: don't want to lose them either, you know what I mean?

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Yes, I am one thousand percent with you on that.

51
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: I think that's a very good way to put it.

52
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 2: Whether it's practice squad or whatever ends up being the case.

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: I would like that guy to be here, you know,

54
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: three hundred and what fifty some days from now, Yeah, with.

55
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: One more year under the belt of being in the

56
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: weight room and around the team, more familiar, and maybe

57
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: there's a spot then for you you know.

58
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think that that makes a ton of sense.

59
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: And he is, he's he's one of those guys that continues.

60
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: I think you were saying this.

61
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: It's kind of like the seventh round pick the corner,

62
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: the Kent Kent. Yeah, just get him here, next, just

63
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: get him here until.

64
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: We're ready to go, and a step further along in

65
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: the process than he is now. I can't remember, mad

66
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: if I heard you saying this on the post game

67
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: with Pursuito. Maybe it was on the pregame show with Tom.

68
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: You know, you and I we both.

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: We did a bunch of Yeah, it was four hours

70
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: from a.

71
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: Lot of different Were you at the studio for the

72
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: whole time? Did you do some of that from home?

73
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 2: How did you know?

74
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 3: I did the whole thing from the studio. I did

75
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: two hours, and then I did what usually is a

76
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: call in. I just went in with with Mike and

77
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: we did that, watched the game with Mike in the studio,

78
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: and then quickly did you know I went to the postgame?

79
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: You were there the whole time. Yeah.

80
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: We started at three long days and we ended at

81
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: twelve thirty.

82
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys did it.

83
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah we got had.

84
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: What a bunch of jerks? I good lord. I didn't

85
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: even think land until two o'clock.

86
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: I think the super short Tomlin press conference helped us.

87
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: Definitely help because usually we go right after that and

88
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: was like, whoa, I guess we're on.

89
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: Definitely helped you. I told this to Rob King, and

90
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: I know that you and our producer justin and pursued it,

91
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: and probably everybody that is involved with football would agree.

92
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: When I am elected President of the United States, Matt,

93
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: you know, like like twenty years from now, the first

94
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: thing that I'll do is executive order that all NFL

95
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: preseason games have to start at one o'clock.

96
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.

97
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: Why am I getting home at two thirty in the

98
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: morning from a preseason areas. It's gonna happen again when

99
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: we're in Charlotte on a Thursday night.

100
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 3: It's definite. If it's Monday night football or Sunday, the

101
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: whole world's watching preseason game.

102
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: They should all be Saturday and Sunday at one o'clock.

103
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: I mean I would handle four, be fine or three.

104
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no night games, No preseason night games one o'clock

105
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: or four o'clock. That's all you get. Why am I

106
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: exhausted for a preseason game?

107
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

108
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: Good.

109
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: That's a good rule change for when you become leader

110
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 3: of the world.

111
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: I'll be focused on the important things. Obviously.

112
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: I always said, you know, whenever I'm king of the world,

113
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 3: I'm going to create a minor league system for NFL,

114
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: and then I'll dig into like world famine and hunger

115
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: and things like that f down the road.

116
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: After I fixed the NFL preseason, then right. Then I'm

117
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: gonna my second executive order will be making a death penalty,

118
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: penalty by death if for if you left lane is

119
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: punishable by death. Okay, that's number and then number three.

120
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: I love watching your blood boil on the way to

121
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: Indianapolis over here as you're one inch off the bumper

122
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 3: in front of you in the left lane.

123
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: One sentimator, you mean maybe Aaron Rodgers here, we got

124
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 2: a little team period getting go.

125
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see some good good action here.

126
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Downie throws and you're seeing more of TJ. Watt.

127
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah in this practice, which is good to see Kenneth

128
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: Gainwell getting a run there off the left side.

129
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: Back you're pointing to open the show. Though there are

130
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: not many one reps where eighty is not on the field,

131
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: I mean, considering the depth of tight end and they

132
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: don't live in thirteen, he does not come off the

133
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: field very much, and I think less than ever despite

134
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 3: the competition at the position. I mean, I think I

135
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: think they think he's special, and I have been saying

136
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: that for a year.

137
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: I sometimes, Matt, you just need to be out here

138
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 2: to just kind of read the tea leaves.

139
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and see how.

140
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: Everything falls and and that's absolutely in a stute point

141
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: by you, he is he has been heavily involved, is

142
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers will dump one off here to trace sermon

143
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: in the flat well.

144
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: Covered up becomes the number two line.

145
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 2: Have not seen a sleigh back in since that, since

146
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: that little foot tweak. He is still sitting over there

147
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: on the bench. So he's still out there on the

148
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: practice field on the bench, slapping hands with h with Patrick.

149
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 3: He's got his legs up, but I don't think there's

150
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: like even ice on it or anything.

151
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: I think if it was anything even remotely concerning, they'd

152
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: have him up in the locker room probably, So he's

153
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: hanging out. His day, I would imagine is probably over,

154
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: but he's still in his and his stuff, hanging out

155
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 2: on the bench down there at Joey Porter Junior. Now

156
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: after a few reps, gets a break and he goes

157
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: down and sits next to him. As reminder, it is

158
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: a non padded practice here today for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

159
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm I'm with you on some of those

160
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: getting back to where we kind of started. The guys

161
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: that you would like to see in this process, and

162
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: Hurlaman is certainly one of them. Yeah, yeah, I continue

163
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: to be impressed by where he's at and how he's

164
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: deployed and all those different things. And I think he

165
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: might be starting to separate from that that pack of

166
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: the other you know, other than the Big three.

167
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: Different than those guys too. You can line up in

168
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: the backfield, and I think he brings more on special

169
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: teams as a more than a returner than some of

170
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: those other quote no name receivers.

171
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: You know, yes, yes, I completely agree with you on

172
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: that as uh.

173
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 3: Like, it wouldn't shock me if he has an NFL career,

174
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: you know, yes, I mean that's a big accomplishment for.

175
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: An undrafted guy. Is that John new Smith on the

176
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 2: far side field going through some se him in the

177
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: end zone over there with his helmet on, going through

178
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: some stuff by himself. I think that that is.

179
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: I haven't seen a ton of him and team and stuff.

180
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that he's over there doing kind of

181
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: his own thing, as is Jalen Ramsey. So that would

182
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,119
Speaker 2: make sense.

183
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: Where are you pointing those guys down it?

184
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: Ramsey is right here. Definitely him on the thirty yard

185
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: line on the second field because he's still wearing his jersey.

186
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: John whu here with his hands on his hips walking

187
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: out of the end zone, is not wearing his jersey,

188
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: is wearing the black hoodie. But I believe that that

189
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: is that that is John new Smith.

190
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: I think you're right because I have not seen much

191
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: of him. He's kind of got He's got his hands

192
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 3: on his hips in kind of an awkward way like

193
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 3: something's by. Well.

194
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: He just to be fair, he was just running sprints.

195
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: He might just be catching his breath after a few gassers. Yeah,

196
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: but yeah, Ramsey working on some stuff over there as

197
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: well too. Not seeing well he we saw him down

198
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: there in a in a bucket half, but not seeing

199
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 2: in terms of activity Cam Hayward.

200
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: But we have gotten a good their trade buddies, their

201
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: dolphin buddies.

202
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: They are dolphin. That's right. Let's go, let's go, let's

203
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: go work out here on the far side field as

204
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: the weather today maybe feeling a little little south beach

205
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: as it is a beautiful, beautiful warm day here today.

206
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 2: Certainly as Mason Rudolph continues to lead the off in

207
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: this team period to give there to gain well.

208
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: Quick feet man, I said, every time.

209
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: I'm shifty, Yeah, he really is. I'm excited to see

210
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: what they do with him this year and what that

211
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: role looks like.

212
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 3: This runs a lot of receiver routes to him.

213
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, maybe I buried the lead on this as

214
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: I'm watching these guys down here on the sideline. What

215
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: did you think of Roger Jones and Troy Faltanu on

216
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: Saturday Night?

217
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: So the more I watched Faltanu and I actually was

218
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 3: just watching him against what a couple of reps ago, thinking,

219
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: I like, don't worry about him at all, and now

220
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 3: I think he can play. Yeah, now I look at

221
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: him like he might be one of the best five

222
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: right tackles in the league soon by Thanksgiving. Yeah, like soon,

223
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: you know, kind of like Fraser was on that course. Yeah,

224
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 3: this is the best compliment I could give Broderick was

225
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 3: we had two callers in the postgame show, and I

226
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: know they're not glued to substitutions and things like we

227
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: are and who's the number two oh line? But they

228
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 3: called it and said the Broderick Jones played night. I'm like, yeah,

229
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: and it's great that you have to ask because there

230
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: was no issues.

231
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: That means he didn't jump off the screen for yeah,

232
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: Pete or missing a block or something.

233
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have the snap count handy, but I

234
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 3: think Rudolph played fourteen and the entire starting O line

235
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: played fourteen with him. I mean, I know that they

236
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 3: were right there together, and they didn't play Josh Allen

237
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: Hines or Heinz Allen or whatever, but they did play

238
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: Trayvon Walker. And Smoot's a good player, so he was

239
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: going against good dudes. And I saw no issues Jones.

240
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 2: That is yes, yes, I'm trying to I just had the.

241
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: It's right that neighborhood. They played like three series or

242
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: two series whatever.

243
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, that's right.

244
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: But the starting O line was out with Rudolph. They

245
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: played the exact same.

246
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: Snaps correct, correct. They played fifteen snaps fifteen Okay, it

247
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: was close, fifteen snaps together, whereas cool Man Doug Dester,

248
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 2: Max Sharping was fifty four snaps. Baby yeah, well, and

249
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: and Nestor and Sharping played some special team snaps as

250
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: well too, So they led the team with fifty nine snaps.

251
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: Okay, that's gonna be field goal protection.

252
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: Correct.

253
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: They're not running on a kickoffs or anything.

254
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: No, No, Aiden Williams third with fifty four.

255
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if that was by necessity or if

256
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: they have more hopes for this Aiden Williams character than

257
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 3: I know, and maybe he's a practice squadter, or maybe

258
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: he's the definition of just get him here next year,

259
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 3: you know, one of those type of.

260
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: Totally totally and you know what now that I'm looking

261
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: at it, you know who if you factor in special

262
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: team snaps as well too, who actually led the team

263
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: in snaps with sixty one ser JJ goallbreath. Oh wow, okay,

264
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: in terms of in terms of the offensive side of football,

265
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: I should specify, Yeah, but that's.

266
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 3: That adds up. I mean two of your top tight

267
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: ends didn't play, and you didn't want Washington to play

268
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: a time, right, so.

269
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: They were played fifty So I mean he's up there

270
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: towards the top as well too. He played deep in

271
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: one for goall breath. Okay, forty two offensive snaps at

272
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 2: tight end nineteen to lead all special teams. He played

273
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: more special team snaps than even Sawyer and Castro, who

274
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: had oh sorry, Carson Berner had twenty four, twenty four

275
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: special team Carson Brunner.

276
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's abound the fifty three, but

277
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 3: will definitely be one of those five core special teamers

278
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 3: when he's active or when he's in dressed or whatever.

279
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: That's interesting about Albroth, Like, I think snapcounts can be misleading,

280
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: but I think if you really know a team, like

281
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 3: we know the Steelers, they really tell a story. And

282
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 3: I always do a podcast the day. I do one

283
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 3: right after the game, and then I do one two

284
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 3: days later where I break down like snapcounts and things

285
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: like that that came out. I'm not going to count

286
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: to myself, I'll tell.

287
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: You that, so we'll let somebody else do that work.

288
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: And sometimes it's because of necessity, you know, like especially

289
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: in the preseason, you know, he got a bunch of

290
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: guys resting or whatever, or or even the regular season,

291
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: somebody gets hurt to this guy's active, so you got

292
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: got to get thrown into the mix, even though that

293
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 3: wasn't the plan. But usually snap counts, especially preseason stuff,

294
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: are well laid out beforehand, you know, like these are gifts,

295
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: these are rewards, And if you're a guy like Galbreath,

296
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 3: I would have to think all those special team snaps

297
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: are going to be really valuable to if you can

298
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 3: be in the plus call him on those totally. You

299
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: got to think that there's a practice squad spot for you,

300
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 3: and you're one injury away to the top four tight

301
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 3: ends to be in the first call up. I think

302
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: it's all thro his way a lot since we've been

303
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: here here. Absolutely, it's a name he always ringing up. Yeah.

304
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And that's what I was going. That's what I

305
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: said at the start of his segment that I was

306
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 2: forgetting that you. I can't remember if it was with

307
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 2: Tom or if it was a PURSUITO in the pregame

308
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: of the postgame, but you said, you know, one thing

309
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: that I always kind of stands out to me is

310
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 2: when we're out of training camp, like, am I saying

311
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: this guy's name two or three practices in a row? Yeah,

312
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: by saying this guy's name a lot, three out of

313
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,520

Speaker 2: coming to the end of special teams period right now,

352
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: mister Williamson.

353
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: Yep, yepoks like team's gonna start out here.

354
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,800

356

Speaker 2: this action in just a minute as they get moving

357
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: and shaken alls. So, Matt as we kind of today

358
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: wasn't our most punctual attendance report. But I have not

359
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: seen Samalu out there a good point, which has been normal,

360
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: And it's not to raise an alarm or anything. He's

361
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's out there and I just haven't been

362
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: able to pick out his man buns, so he must

363
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: have a hat on or something today.

364
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: I think they're very comfortable with miss Anderson as well.

365
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: I think they're very comfortable with Anderson and continuing to

366
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: get him some work. Yeah, and just you know what

367
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: Sayamalu is as an accomplished guard in this league, who

368
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: is you know, no longer a spring chicken, and you

369
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: want to keep him fresh as possible.

370
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 3: Noticeably older than the other starter, correct, right.

371
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: And I do see Cam Heyward is standing down there

372
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: right now about the twenty five yard line. Yeah, he's

373
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: got a backwards hat on and is talking to I

374
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: can't tell if that's Denzel Martin, the linebackers coach, or

375
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: somebody down there on the sideline though. So Cam is

376
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: down there, Like I said, I'm sure Isaac probably is

377
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: somewhere as well too, but he is not dressed for

378
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 2: practice today. Just wanted to make sure to relay that information.

379
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: We got some team periods starting up here. It looks

380
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: like pretty much all hands on deck.

381
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: T J.

382
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: Watt is out there. No, no Jayalen Ramsey.

383
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: Or they really are.

384
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 2: He's standing over there on the sideline and join himself

385
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: with some of the fellow defensive backs. But TJ is

386
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: out there.

387
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 3: TJ is on a fair amount today.

388
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: I think this has probably been his his you know, busier,

389
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: busier day, And I wonder if maybe that's because he's

390
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 2: planning on having a busy day Thursday and the joint practice,

391
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 2: and so maybe he wants to kind of time if

392
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 2: I'm I can't just ramp it up on Thursday, I

393
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: gotta I gotta be active here this week and kind

394
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 2: of get myself Saturday. No, as uh, here we go,

395
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: little one on one, little ones on ones action. The

396
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: offense will be moving from right to left. Yes, spread

397
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: in the field with Roman Wilson in motion, Jayalen Warren

398
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: in the backfield with his extra long towel as Aaron

399
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: Rodgers will pump fade.

400
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 3: I don't get to the extra low. It's almost like

401
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 3: the round it is.

402
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: He has a has a towel out of his out

403
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: of his pants, which a lot of these guys do,

404
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: but his is almost to the ground. Is mad.

405
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's super long. He doesn't have the longest legs

406
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 3: and it's like almost dragging on the ground.

407
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: If he lost a bet, you think that's his fantasy

408
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: football punishment as that one just kind of blown up

409
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: by by Eckles and a nickel blitz there not much

410
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers could do and how to throw it away.

411
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 2: Pierre and Porter the boundary corners for the Steelers with

412
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: Echoles in the slot right now, play action to Jalen Warren.

413
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers zips one across the field to Ben Skronnick. Dude,

414
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: he just gets rid of that thing quick like it's impressive.

415
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's impressive. But he pulls agger. It comes out.

416
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: The quick little zip that he can put on that

417
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 2: thing has Ben Scronnick with a nice pick up there.

418
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: For the offense, they're just working on first intent. Looks

419
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 2: like they're just simulating first intense situation. Here is the

420
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 2: offense as Caleb Johnson will check in at running back.

421
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: Other than that, looks pretty much the same. Not really

422
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: any subs for the defense so far. You got her

423
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 2: Big and Watt, you got Queen and Wilson, uh and

424
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: the first team offense will stay in there as well.

425
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf line up in the slot with Pat Fryermouth

426
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: out in the boundary, but now Mooth and Connor Hayward

427
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 2: will bunch in tight. The defense adjusts shotgun snap back

428
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: Rogers looking for Metcalf just a touch out of his range,

429
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: A good job there by Eckles. Eckles having a good

430
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: practice here so far. Yeah, getting kind of bumped right

431
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 2: up with the ones in the UH.

432
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: I think he's a valuable piece. You can do a

433
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 3: lot of different things for you and you know, mostly depth.

434
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: But even I wonder I need to look into this

435
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: when they go to Dime, who will be the sixth

436
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: defensive back. You know, it'll be the top two safeties

437
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 3: and it'll be the big three, big three. I would

438
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 3: assume Eccles will be in the dime.

439
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 2: I think you would be correct. Yeah, I think he's

440
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: again to use that basketball like that sixth man, you know,

441
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: off the bench analogy. I I think I think he's

442
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 2: the one, and he's had himself a solid camp, having

443
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 2: a solid I completely agree. I like Chuck Clark. The

444
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 2: addition of Chuck Clark too exactly. I think Eccles is

445
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 2: very versatile as Rogers has some time here and just

446
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: dumps this one off to Caleb Johnson. Not much working

447
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: down the field as Deshaun Elliott this time had good coverage.

448
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, offensive line is not all right, but but

449
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: the last couple of snaps of of I think the

450
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 2: defenses is getting some pressure in, there's Logan Lee and

451
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: Jack Sawyer will check in.

452
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 3: I was shocked how little Logan Lee played. Yeah, I'm

453
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: not sure what to take of that.

454
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: That's good, that's true. It might just be because they're confident.

455
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: But that's a good point by you as him and Jack. Yeah,

456
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 2: he did. He really did. Quick little out here to

457
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 2: Scotty Miller, who's able to to get a nice seven

458
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: eight yard gain down the sideline. Is now the first

459
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: team offense will check out. We'll have some wholesale changes here.

460
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph and the offensive line. Second team offensive line

461
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 2: will check in.

462
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 3: Including Pete. I keep paying attention Pee stout guard, so

463
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 3: I keep he is now at guard. Yeah, this is

464
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: the first I've seen him play guard. Cook is the

465
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 3: the backup left tackle, and I think they're quite happy

466
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 3: with him. But they also have been mixing Pete in

467
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: almost entirely at left tackle, and now he's at left guard.

468
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 3: So I keep. He was on my radar early because

469
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 3: they just signed him, but now I'm really paying attention.

470
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: Very interested. Yeah, as a quick slant.

471
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: To he did play some tackle recently too. Pete played

472
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 3: the first two years of the Saints was exclusively at

473
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: left tackle, drafted the first round or and then the

474
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: next like six or seven years was exclusively at guard and.

475
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: That's when he made the three Pro Bowls in a

476
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 2: row and was.

477
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 3: Better at that. And then the last year in New

478
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: Orleans he played a lot of tackle as well because

479
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,239
Speaker 3: they had drafted Fuaga and this year, and then then

480
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: he went to the Raiders after that.

481
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 2: So and I do think he was a small sample size,

482
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: but he was at tackle for the Raiders as well.

483
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: I believe, I think so. But again, he played less

484
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 3: than sixty snaps as a Raider.

485
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: Hey did a good job there picking up a stunt

486
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: by Jack Sawyer on that rep. And that's one of

487
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 2: the things for me too, is again is he's kind

488
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 2: of trying to hop on this moving trade train a

489
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: little later in the process and everybody, I just want

490
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 2: to see him look better and more comfortable this week

491
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: than he did last week exactly.

492
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 3: And you know, the smarts and experience will help a

493
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 3: great deal in terms of the getting on the moving

494
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 3: train thing. Now, get yourself in football shape and ready

495
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 3: to go, and he could be he could be the

496
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 3: true sixth man too. Yeah, I think there's some value

497
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 3: and I think there's a lot of value.

498
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: In him completely, you know, that's I think that's a

499
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: luxury we thought that they were going to have last year,

500
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: and then those injuries quickly piled up. He lost her

501
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: Big in camp, he lost Faltanu in camp, and then

502
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: in the regular season, and then what I mean, James

503
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: Daniels was that week ree in Indianapolis. I want to

504
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: say early on in the process as well too, as

505
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph will just throw this one away, nice one

506
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 2: handed snag there, but out of bounds, as we'll have

507
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 2: some more substitutions for the offense. But no, that's that's

508
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 2: I'm glad you noticed that, and I do think, right,

509
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: that's the first time we've seen him work in the

510
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 2: guard out here.

511
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: Here's the first I've noticed him play any guarded in

512
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: a Steeler out Steeler uniform.

513
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that's the same, uh, same observation I believe

514
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 2: in Brandon Eckles. I think we saw him getting more

515
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 2: work there in the slot than we had seen to

516
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: this point.

517
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's very slot capable Jets.

518
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right, exactly right.

519
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 3: Which doesn't bode great for your boy being.

520
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say he played a ton on

521
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: Saturday with.

522
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 3: A no fault of his own. I think his roster

523
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 3: spots in a lot of jeopardy.

524
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 2: It's in a lot of jeopardy. I mean when you

525
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: bring in Sleigh and Ramsey.

526
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: The Ramsey trade didn't help his cause. Obviously, echoles.

527
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: He plays, he plays a decent amount of teams, which

528
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: will help his case.

529
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: That's definitely a useful you.

530
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: I mean again, you look around, and it's this conversation

531
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: that we had starting the show. Yeah, you look around

532
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 2: and there's not a lot of competition for starting spots.

533
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of competition for depth. That's a

534
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 2: lot of guys who have clear defined, carved out roles already.

535
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pursueder and I were talking about this stour in

536
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 3: the game and then into the postgame show that I

537
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 3: think there's gonna be two roster spots for Bishop Pierre

538
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 3: and Trice to fight over.

539
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: And and hey, Corey might take himself out of the

540
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: equation just by not being able to stay available.

541
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 3: That's the biggest not But.

542
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: I also know that they are very high on him

543
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: when he's been available.

544
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: I want to say, they're all very different corners, and

545
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: you know, Pierre's value as special teams. I think he's

546
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 3: the least high upside of the corners. On defense. Bishop

547
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 3: played a lot, but he's really only a slot. Trice

548
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: can't stay healthy. But what he does is the hardest

549
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 3: thing to find of all of them, is a true press,

550
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: lengthy outside corner. So you might be more patient with

551
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 3: because you can go get a nickel, you can go

552
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: get a special team or But that'll be an interesting

553
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 3: conversation because I don't think all three can make it,

554
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 3: because you know, the top four corners, including Eccles, are

555
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: set in stone.

556
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 2: Yes, and I do think Eckles is in that.

557
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 3: I think he's yet clearly number four. He's not in

558
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: the top three, but he's not with fighting the other guys.

559
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 3: I think he's clearly number four out there still.

560
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. TJ. Watt is out there,

561
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: still is. The ones will check back in. They will

562
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: now move the offense from left to right after moving

563
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: from right to left on your radio dive, that was

564
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 2: always one of my favorite you know, old school radio, Yeah,

565
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: Mike Lang, Billy Hillgrove. The Steelers are dressed in their

566
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: black helmets, white jerseys, and yellow pants. They will move

567
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: from left to right on your radio, Dove. It's a

568
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 2: hockey night in Pittsburgh. Put gonna drop here in the

569
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 2: first period. The Penguins will move from right to left.

570
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 3: On your right.

571
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: That's a really bad Mike Lang kind absolute goat impression

572
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 2: that I'm doing there of Mike Lang, Slap me silly.

573
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers here, scratch my back of that.

574
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 2: Scratch my back with a jugs machine out here. As

575
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: Rogers will operate from the shotgun Jalen Warren to his left,

576
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: move blitz in the slot. Lobbs went down the field

577
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: bread basket as DK just got a step or two

578
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 2: on Pierre and man Matt.

579
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: That was like pressure and now you know.

580
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: About a twenty twenty five air yards on that thing,

581
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: and DK would have been moving.

582
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: That's pre snap. That's Rogers going. I got DK on Pierre,

583
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: who I know is not their strongest cover guy. I'm

584
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 3: setting him, smelling the blitz. The blitz comes, I am

585
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 3: definitely going to that matchup. I'm gonna lead him perfectly

586
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 3: and he can just go make a play boom perfect.

587
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: That's experience and touch and all those good things.

588
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 2: Darius Slay was icing up the foot ankle over there

589
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: moving around a little bit. So good to see. I

590
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 2: also saw Will Howard was kind of involved with some

591
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: of the quarterbacks when they were going through some stuff.

592
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 2: Oh really so yeah, so nice to see. He's not

593
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 2: in a uniform or anything kind of you know, going

594
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 2: through the motions in some of the drills.

595
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 3: So maybe he's not as far away as we think.

596
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: Would I would just assume he doesn't play Thursdays, yeah,

597
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 3: or Saturday, but maybe you get him in Carolina.

598
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: That would be a nice added bonus.

599
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 3: Certainly, we will continue.

600
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, we'll continue to see the see

601
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: the ones out there as Rogers and company. Mister Rogers

602
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: neighborhood still rolling along.

603
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, long huddle.

604
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 2: He's just gonna say, uh, delay a game offense.

605
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 3: I keep paying attention to Pete. He's always doing something

606
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: different than the alignment, Like right now he's sitting on

607
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 3: the cooler, but he used to always be like right

608
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 3: in Pat my there's always it gets a little different. Attention.

609
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: Rogers back looking good pressure from the defense. CJ got

610
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 2: the better find Pat firemouth downfield. But I think that

611
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 2: would have been a sack or a throwaway in a regular.

612
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: Done by pat though he got a lot of separation there.

613
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 3: He did light in the down.

614
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did a good job of like finding that

615
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: soft spot and coverage as well too. As will we

616
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: continue to see the ones or is that gonna do

617
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: it now? Looks like they're gonna huddle up and listen,

618
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna stay with him as long as the ones

619
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: are out there. More Darnell Washington, More Roman Wilson, Roman Wilson.

620
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: Are you surprised we didn't see a little bit more

621
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 2: him Saturday night? They made a couple of nice plays

622
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 2: out there. Make a big player see a little bit more,

623
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 2: you know, an extra series or two.

624
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: A crazy Yeah, Rudolph threw them to strike early. Didn't

625
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 3: really cross my mind, But I maybe that's a compliment

626
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: as well, Like we've seen enough and we really wanted

627
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 3: to get that next group of receivers as much time

628
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: as we possibly could. I think he's pretty clearly the

629
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: three right now, and maybe even as a chance to

630
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 3: challenge Austin for the two.

631
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: I'd like to see Calvin Austin back out here soon.

632
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that needs to get back this Rogers looks for Wilson,

633
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 3: A little gravy by.

634
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: Little gravy by Pierre. I think that one might have

635
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: been thrown as a pass interference.

636
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 3: Possibly, Yeah, possibly, probably.

637
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: Had some hands on them downfield there.

638
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 3: And that was thirty twenty yards down field.

639
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Roman did a good job of getting himself square

640
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: and finding that football. It's him and Rodgers. Now we'll

641
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: have a little conversing at the at the twenty yard

642
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: line here on the New York side as second team

643
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: offensive line, no part of me still the starting offensive line,

644
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 2: but Mason Rudolph will check in. I was like, wait,

645
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: where's Pete? He's still on the sideline here. First team

646
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: offensive line still out there. Robert Woods in motion snap

647
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: back to give to Caleb Johnson. Nice hole there, Yeah,

648
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: by the offensive line, and now the second team O

649
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 2: line will.

650
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: Check in, including Pete.

651
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: It looks like he's going to be a guard once

652
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 2: again here. Jones and Cook are both in along with Nester.

653
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 2: So let's see how they deploy here, just to make sure,

654
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: and then maybe we'll get to our break.

655
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 3: I'm being out and sharping, really getting thrown in the

656
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 3: mix here at center.

657
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

658
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I don't think McCollums schedulell be out a lengthy

659
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 3: amount of time.

660
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't believe so either, but that's always something that

661
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: we just got to kind of wait and see this

662
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: time of year.

663
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 3: But that is how they have in. Pete's at the

664
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 3: left guard.

665
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 2: Pete is at the left guard position once again. As

666
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph operates from the shotgun, Connor Hayward moves in motion.

667
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: Rudolph back looking, gets ridd of one over the middle

668
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: a little behind Connor Heywood, but he's able to contor

669
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: his body and bring that one in nice catch up

670
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: for eighty three.

671
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: That Oline held a bone protection.

672
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: It sure did, Sure did. Let's get to a break here.

673
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: We'll bring you the kind of final moments of practice

674
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: when we return, and still plenty to get too as

675
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,640

688
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: Back at special teams period here as we get to yeah,

689
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 2: probably the final half an hour or so, I would

690
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: think practice. I would think here there will be.

691
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 3: We'll think there would be a long one. They generally

692
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 3: have been.

693
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: Correct, and I would think that this would be a good,

694
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: you know, two hour and fifteen minute, two and a

695
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: half hour ish practice, especially since they're not in pads,

696
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: especially since they had the day off yesterday. If you

697
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 2: saw at the end of that team period there too

698
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: as well, Matt, we saw Doug Nester finished out as

699
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: the center in the last couple of times.

700
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 3: I missed that.

701
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 2: OK reps there as well too.

702
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: You wouldn't think third string center is that big a deal,

703
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: but it's something that you got to deal with in

704
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: terms of making the team work right now. If you

705
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 3: know you don't want Zach Fraser being overworked or dealing

706
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 3: ever with the twos, that's not gonna happen, and that

707
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 3: just kind of shows the value of McCallum. You know

708
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: that if they were to play a game right now,

709
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: who gets you out of the game if heaven forbid,

710
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 3: fifty four goes down.

711
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's out there right right. It's a very good point.

712
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: And you're right, he's.

713
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: Kind of been missed. I mean, you wouldn't take a

714
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 3: backup centers that big a deal that only play center.

715
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 3: But he's been missed.

716
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 2: But it's the whole trickle down effect. Yes, yes, before

717
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: if you if your center isn't up the snuff, and

718
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: that hinders the entire offensive line, which hinders the quarterback

719
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: and the run game and the evaluations and.

720
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: And maybe just maybe the plan was you only wanted

721
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 3: to work Pete at left tackle, but now you're moving

722
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 3: guards to center so you can move him to guard.

723
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: It's just you know, it's always ever changing.

724
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it absolutely is. And that's Hey, those are

725
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: some of the things that we are that we are

726
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: here to keep an eye on as we uh as

727
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: we continue to bring you practice here now and it's

728
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: special teams period. Looks like what we have the offense

729
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 2: is the entire offense on the far side of the

730
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: field over there, Matt I think quarterbacks.

731
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, going through a teaching period. They're mostly on knees

732
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 3: and you know, just kind of going through you know, instruction.

733
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks are throwing a little, but nothing too crazy.

734
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,719
Speaker 2: No, I'm trying to watch Will Howard to see if

735
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: he'll go through a couple of reps here too. But

736
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 2: he's just standing out near the fifty yard line right now,

737
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: kind of hanging in.

738
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 3: Correct. Correct, A lot of these gold slash yellow jerseys

739
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: are under the tents under the sun.

740
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 2: Exactly right, exactly right. The defense just hanging out special

741
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: teams in front of us on the h on the

742
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: near side field, and uh yeah, we're going yep. And

743
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: running backs looks like are working on a hands receiving

744
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: drill down there to the left as as things roll

745
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: along here.

746
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 3: Not the most exciting portion of practice, it is not.

747
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: And again I think we're kind.

748
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 3: Of not a thrill them in in a football practice.

749
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 3: By the way, folks, people get this misconception, you know.

750
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that it's just dudes just running into each other.

751
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: Sometimes it is. But even on those even on those

752
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: ramped up days, you still have your special teams period.

753
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 2: You still have teaching periods as well too, because as

754
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 2: great as it may be that you could go and

755
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: hit somebody or block somebody, if you're not in the

756
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 2: right spot, it's not going to matter anyways, and.

757
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 3: They want to be able to teach you on the field,

758
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 3: and you know, something that's on their their mind that

759
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 3: they're bugging them in that last team period or whatever,

760
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 3: you know.

761
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 2: Right as uh we uh had a nice pass to

762
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 2: while we were at break between Mason Rudolph and Pat

763
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 2: Fryarmouth that kind of kind of wrapped up the team

764
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 2: period camp. He has had camps. Rudolph Saturday's camp and

765
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: I'm man, I'm I mean, I was confident in him

766
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 2: as the Steelers backup coming into this thing, but I

767
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: think even even a little bit more so after this camp.

768
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 2: And yeah, I saw on Saturday night.

769
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 3: Saturday night, I think that's fresh on your mind, and

770
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 3: that's great to see him running with the ones and

771
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 3: looking very comfortable as if he totally belonged. And to me,

772
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 3: that's a plus backup in the is League, there's a

773
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 3: lot of worse number two's out there, and I think

774
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 3: this team would be in decent shape if he had

775
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 3: to man the ship for a while. Yeah, Yeah, and

776
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 3: he might be the opening day starter next year. Very

777
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 3: pursued and I were talking about that a lot on Saturday,

778
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 3: that if the plan is like I think it is,

779
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: to Rogers does one year and retires, as he's mentioned,

780
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 3: who knows. I'm sure the door will be open if

781
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 3: they win the Super Bowl or something that he could

782
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 3: come back. Sure, And Howard's in the mixes A two

783
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 3: and the Rudolph's under contract, and you draft a guy

784
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 3: in the first round, even if it's a really high pick,

785
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 3: there's a real good chance Rudolph would be your opening

786
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 3: day starter. And you don't rush that first round pick

787
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 3: in either, you know, one.

788
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: Hundred undred percent especially Yeah, I mean, and we've seen

789
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 2: that formula work out well, I know, yeah for for

790
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: a lot of you know, hey, there are the the

791
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow examples right where you just kind of threw

792
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 2: the guy out the air into the fire and he

793
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: was able to not only survive but thrive. But then

794
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: there's also you know, plenty of Patrick Mahomes types examples

795
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 2: where guys sat and learned and had time to wait.

796
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 3: And then there's the Richardson's and Lances that probably should have.

797
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, even Aaron Rodgers was brought Jordan Love, you know,

798
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 2: and then yeah, and then you have you know, you

799
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 2: have guys who end up, you know, like halfway through

800
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 2: their rookie season and things like that that works out well.

801
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 3: Inevitably, the first round pick is gonna get on the field,

802
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 3: and you know that.

803
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, But at the same time, there is a

804
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 2: delicate balance of giving these guys time and letting them,

805
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: letting them develop. And I think you're right. I think

806
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 2: there's at least a fifty to fifty chance that Mason

807
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,720
Speaker 2: Rudolph could start Week one for the Steelers of twenty

808
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: twenty six.

809
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 3: I think the way Pursuda mentioned it said was, if

810
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 3: I had to bet on one person right now, who

811
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 3: is the Steelers starter, and you don't have to pick

812
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 3: who they were going to draft, if one of the

813
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 3: categories his first round pick, dude, whoever that is, I

814
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 3: think I would bet on Rudolph. Yeah, you know, like,

815
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: who's the best bet to be this starter one year

816
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 3: from now at least that first game. Probably Rudolph, which

817
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 3: is why the said know a two year deal exactly.

818
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 3: This is not an accident, folks, you know, no, it's not.

819
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 2: There is a plan there. Yeah, I think I think

820
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: at times in the past, Matt, it was fair to

821
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 2: say that it was hard to see the forest through

822
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: the trees.

823
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 3: But I think I'll get it.

824
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 2: I think over the last year it's very clear what

825
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: the plan has been.

826
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 3: And it's been one of my biggest pet peeves, and

827
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 3: I almost make a joke of it anymore. But so

828
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 3: many people and even some of my buddies you were

829
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 3: going right right that are super knowledgeable fans, you know,

830
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 3: and really know the game. Well, man, I just don't

831
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 3: see the plan. I'm like, I don't believe. I can't

832
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 3: understand how you don't see the plan. I mean, I

833
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 3: know I do this for a living, and I try

834
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 3: to tell people to plan, and then after you do,

835
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, that makes sense. But every piece of

836
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 3: it is all set up to win today and prepare

837
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 3: for that quarterback tomorrow. You have to look at every

838
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: move they make that way, which is hard to do.

839
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 2: Hard to do, yeah, but we have seen some teams

840
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 2: successfully do it.

841
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah heck.

842
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 2: I mean that the Chiefs and the Bills were doing

843
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 2: that before they got They both.

844
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 3: Traded out to get their guy, and they didn't trade.

845
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 2: The division champions right to go get a.

846
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 3: Quarterback and you don't have to trade to one. I mean,

847
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: like people think, well, boy, this is how they ever

848
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 3: going to get the first overall. I'm like, you don't

849
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 3: have to get the first overall if it's if it's

850
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 3: a right draft. Look at the best quarterbacks in the league.

851
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 3: I mean, other than Borrow, none of them are the

852
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 3: first overall pick. Like when we go through this quarterback here.

853
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 2: Not even the first quarterback taken in their draft, right.

854
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 3: I mean some of the most successful guys we remember,

855
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 3: I mean Ben Rogers, Lamar Alan Mahomes, they're all first rounders.

856
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 3: I'm not saying just wait the third. You get anybody

857
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 3: you want, but you don't have to get to one

858
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 3: or even in the top five necessarily to find a

859
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 3: superstar quarterback.

860
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 2: Completely with you. I was doing a late show with

861
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 2: ten Bens last week and got into that point with them,

862
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: how about how like you don't have to tank to

863
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 2: get a future quarterback? And he was like, well, what

864
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 2: do you mean? And I was like, look at all

865
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 2: the examples around the league, look at who the best quarterback.

866
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: Make your list of your top ten quarterbacks in the

867
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 2: NFL right now, and where they went. And Joe Burrow

868
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 2: I think is the only one who went first overall.

869
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm sure he is, and I mean there's Summer.

870
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 3: I mean Daniels.

871
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say Jaden Daniels was a two.

872
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 2: C J. Stroud was a two, Herbert went four or five.

873
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 3: You're not going to the flip side of that. And

874
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 3: I know you're aware of this, but there's a ton

875
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 3: of day I think if you go back to the

876
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: two thousand, if you're drafted basically by a playoff team

877
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 3: twenty to thirty two, it's really bad. It's like Lamar

878
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 3: and it's Lamar and Rodgers. Lamar and Rodgers they're the

879
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 3: only two were a success. There's a lot of pickets

880
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 3: in there, and you know, like it doesn't bode well

881
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 3: for like Jackson Dart. You know, like the hit rate,

882
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 3: because usually if you're good enough, you're going in the

883
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 3: top ten, go into a non playoff team or a

884
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: playoff team traded up for you, and you're definitely a

885
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: top fifteen, definitely a top twenty pick. But if you're

886
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,919
Speaker 3: twenty to thirty two, and Lamar and Rogers were really

887
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 3: weird examples. I mean, he sat behind far forever for

888
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 3: like three years and Lamar I frankly think there was

889
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 3: just a bit of racism involved. I mean like people

890
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 3: were talking about, oh, he should be a wide receiver,

891
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 3: Like did you I just find he won the He won? Mean,

892
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 3: he was my number one quarterback, right, he was a

893
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 3: superstar from the pocket in a pro style offense.

894
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. With Bobby Patrino right over NFL head coach.

895
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Ravens are the one smart to say,

896
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 3: what on earth is going on here? We're just gonna

897
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 3: grab it, but we're not letting this guy go the.

898
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: Second day and he was another example what took over

899
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: for Flacco with the bye week, so had a little, right,

900
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 2: little extra time.

901
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 3: And there was a package though, like he'd play like

902
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 3: eight snaps a game or you know, trot out there

903
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 3: and Flacco line up a wide receiver. You know, like, wow,

904
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 3: we gotta get this guy in the field. Yeah.

905
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely, But he.

906
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 3: Never should have fallen. And it wasn't that long ago.

907
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 3: But if Lamar Jackson comes out in this draft, he's

908
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 3: the first pick in the no doubt.

909
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt, without.

910
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 3: A doubt, we have more one on one skeleton.

911
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 2: Little not quite seven on seven, but close as.

912
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 3: It's funny they call it seven on seven, but it's

913
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 3: not seven verse seven.

914
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 2: No, it's not a lot of times. It's like five

915
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 2: on set right now, six.

916
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 3: And all the eligibles and a quarterback's no offensive lineman.

917
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 3: That's six.

918
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 2: I can do the math on that one. Yeah, yeah,

919
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: six for the offense, seven for the defense.

920
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 3: And two of the defensive guys on doing it.

921
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 2: Two of the defensive guys stand there right edge rusher

922
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: slash kind of blocking dummy.

923
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 3: It's really just a no lineman drill, is what it's

924
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 3: your be called. It's not seven verse seven.

925
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 2: Exactly right, exactly right as Yeah, we'll see aaron.

926
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 3: Six or six. It's two linebackers, four defensive backs. The

927
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 3: two edge guys don't do it.

928
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: If yeah, if you don't count the edge guys, that

929
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 2: makes sense.

930
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 3: Actually no, yeah, because they usually to stand there.

931
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 2: Or are they gonna have TJ. Watt drop back into coverage.

932
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 3: Well, in this case, they are gonna d I guess

933
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 3: that's why they're out there. Is if you get the

934
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 3: right defense, the edge, the edge guys bounces out.

935
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 2: Which we have seen TJ do plenty of times before.

936
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 3: So not that's not insane, right.

Speaker 2: Patrick Queen breaking up one intended for Kenneth Gainwell, there's

938
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 2: some highlighter, bright green shoes on Patrick Queen. You get

939
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: too close to those things without sunglasses, you might have some.

940
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 3: Retinat Yeah, that is definitely noticeable.

941
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 2: They're like, uh, I don't know, Like the green Goblin

942
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 2: and the Grinch made their way onto some highlighter shoes.

943
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 2: It's a good way to stand out. So you'll laugh

944
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 2: at this quick little story for you. Hold on, let's

945
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: go through this. Aaron Rodgers rep here first. I'll give

946
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 2: you this quick little story before we go to break.

947
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: It'll make you laugh. As Cam Hayward moves from left

948
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 2: to right and then back to the left. Rogers quickly

949
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 2: down the sideline to Metcalf and good job by Joey

950
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 2: Porter Junior to get a hand in there at the

951
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: last minute to close that one down.

952
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 3: Really see Porter's length there, Oh yeah, and gets his

953
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 3: head around, takes a couple of strides catch up.

954
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 2: I think he's in line for a big year. All

955
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 2: the changes they've made on defense are really going to

956
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 2: benefit him. They he had been doing some square peg

957
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 2: round hoole stuff in the past a little bit, a

958
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: little bit, and now he's going to be square peg,

959
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 2: square hole, round peg, round hole, which I think is.

960
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 3: Think he's going to follow number ones nearly as much either,

961
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 3: just because you don't have to be that.

962
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 2: Guy exactly right, exactly right. Okay, one more Rogers rep

963
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 2: here and then I'll give you my funny funny sports

964
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 2: equipment multi colored sports equipment story. Rogers will bring Pat

965
00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 2: Fryarmouth in motion here and he it's the SNAM looking

966
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,720
Speaker 2: across the middle of the field. He's got DK dragon.

967
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 2: He throws at the DK for a short pickup.

968
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 3: I think those those horzonal routes dragging across the field

969
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 3: against linebackers.

970
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 2: Second team will check in on both sides of the ball,

971
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 2: all right, before we go to break real quick. Here's

972
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 2: my funny story for you. That Pat Queen's bright highlighter

973
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 2: green shoes made me think of. You know this. I

974
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: grew up playing hot I mean I played football as

975
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: well too, and hockey was my sport. Though I stopped

976
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 2: playing football after ninth grade because I was much better

977
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: at hockey. And but hockey with yeah, hockey was my sport.

978
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: I convinced my parents when I was a kid. They're

979
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 2: like the hot hockey stick that everybody wanted. Was called

980
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 2: the Easton entergy okay, and it was at the time,

981
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 2: you know, like one hundred bucks, hundred and twenty bucks expensive.

982
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 2: I mean, now they're like three hundred dollars, you know

983
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 2: what I mean. It's insane, But at that time, great

984
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 2: flex and you know, all that made out of the

985
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 2: best fiberglass. And oh, mom and Dad, the slap shots

986
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 2: that I could take with that thing, you know what

987
00:44:58,480 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 2: I mean.

988
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 3: But the blades are replaced able, right If blades blades.

989
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 2: Can be can be replaced. Yep, you have to kind

990
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 2: of saw off the end and re you've got it

991
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. But yes, uh so I really

992
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 2: wanted an Eastern Eastern senergy. They were bright yellow. That

993
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 2: was kind of like that, you know what I mean,

994
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 2: Like these bright yellow hockey stick they're pretty.

995
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 3: Much the whole worlds centergy.

996
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 2: If you right, and you might get chirped for like

997
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: being a cake eater, like all your parents must be rich.

998
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 2: But then again, most of the kids who were playing hockey,

999
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 2: like their parents had some money to spend on hockey.

1000
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: It's not a cheap sport certainly, so this bright yellow

1001
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 2: Eastern centergy stick that I wanted for Christmas. The way

1002
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 2: that I got my parents to buy it for me

1003
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 2: was going through my mom. Okay, because my mom used

1004
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 2: to always complain that. She used to always complain like,

1005
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 2: when you guys are out there and you're in the

1006
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 2: corners and you're in front of the net, it's hard

1007
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 2: to tell you all apart, you know, like you all

1008
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 2: got the same black helmets and silver cages and jerseys,

1009
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 2: you know. So I convinced her. I said, Mom, if

1010
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 2: you get me this bright yellow stick, you'll be able

1011
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 2: to see everywhere that I am on the ice.

1012
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 3: I'll never be bay this awesome sticking out there, right.

1013
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 2: So that's how I convinced my parents for Christmas one

1014
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 2: year to get me the Easton s Energy because I

1015
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 2: went to a good approach and I was like, Mom,

1016
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 2: this will make me stand out out there. You'll never

1017
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 2: have to wonder which one is me again. And there

1018
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 2: was some truth in that, but it also worked to

1019
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 2: get the job done. I wonder if Patrick Queen is

1020
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 2: doing the same, just so his family members can see

1021
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 2: him out there shine. We gotta get to a break.

1022
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: One more hour to go on the other side would

1023
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 2: be the bonus hour. We'll wrap up practice we'll hear

1024
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 2: a little bit from Aaron Rodgers. We'll get into some

1025
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 2: of your tweets plenty to get to in the final
