We build it. 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.239 Good evening, Steeler Nation. How we doing dodging rain drops? Well, 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.120 that's good us too, And it is the. 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.240 Third sounds like Pittsburgh's getting pretty hard. 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.800 All right. Justin was just painting us the picture back there. 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.600 Everybody stay safe if you get those tornado warnings, be 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.520 careful as some wild weather moving through the western Pennsylvania 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.080 region here in the afternoon and into the evening. But 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.240 it's about five o'clock. It's five o'clock somewhere, certainly right 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.640 here at chucknoll Field, and that means that it's time 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.080 for us to get to the tweets. As we roll 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.880 into the Bonus hour, Matt me leads us off with 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.520 a three pack of questions here, Doctor Westman and Professor Matt. 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.360 Number one, true or false? The longer Joey Porter Junior 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.480 stays on the pup list, the harder it will be 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.160 for him to get into form. Or is he like 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.640 TJ Watt and could just show up week one and 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.360 play at a high level, real quick, great use of 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:40.240 the word form there. 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:45.039 Yeah, by me, small potatoes, I would say, I mean 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.840 it's on him to stay in shape. Although that is 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.440 a very cardio and conditioning position. 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.040 Football shape is different than general shape. 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:54.680 Yeah, but I don't know that he would have played 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.520 in the preseason. I mean, he'd be out here mirroring 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.880 you know, DK Metcalf and those guys. I wouldn't go 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.720 down that road. Yet, in terms of it being the 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:04.880 slightest bick concern. 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.040 I'm I'm with you on that. I think, hey, maybe 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.280 he won't be as sharp as he could have been 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.560 in Week one, But you're right, it's not like it's 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.200 not like he would have been doing a ton of 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.520 work out here either way. Question number two for me 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.359 is the Big Mac or the bacon eater. 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.120 I have a heart. I have a sweet spot for 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.360 the big Man same here, do you? 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.839 The Big Mac is is if you take Taco Bell 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.400 out of the equation, Matt and some of the stuff 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:33.160 that is outside of our region, so like calvers and 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:33.480 things like that. 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:34.880 Yeah, yeah, all the time. 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.079 Of all the fast food stuff that I can regularly get, 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.120 the Big Mac might be number one on the list. 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.600 Well, I'm out here to disparage McDonald's, but I rarely 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.800 go there same you know, saying I did much more 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:47.760 as a kid and there weren't as many options back then. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.320 Oh, I used to go all the time. 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.240 But Big Mac is definitely high in the list. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.600 I still get a Big Mac like a couple times 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:54.440 a year just to hit the. 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.800 Yeah, I've noticed so. My wife and I have a 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.000 long standing kind of joke that like once a year 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.360 we get Long John Silvers, and then when we're like 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:07.920 an hour after we do get I don't feel terrible, 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.040 and then a year later like Long Johns to try 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.280 it's been a while, let's do it. Big Mac's kind 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.360 of similar, Like I feel it after and I'm not 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.360 thrilled with myself, but it's fun going down there. 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.799 It sure is. And it's if you have the McDonald's app. Man, 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.440 they have deals where it's like buy a it's like 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.560 buy a medium fry and get a Big Mac for free. 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:25.040 You can't. 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:26.360 I should definitely stop. 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.640 And they do like promotion stuff with like the Pirates 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.160 and the Penguins, so like sometimes you'll get a notification 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.800 that it's like, hey, uh, the Pirates hit two home 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.360 runs or whatever, Big Mac for two dollars, or you know, 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.760 the Penguins scored on the Power Play Big Mac for 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.840 two dollars, and I'm like, I can't pass that up. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.040 That's just economics. 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.760 So what are your thoughts on the things that have 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.320 derived from the Big Mac, like the Lbie super Burger 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.000 or the app eaton Park super. 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:52.320 Park super Burger. 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:52.880 I'm a fan. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.119 Yeah, I'm a fan too. Yeah, but there's just there's 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.560 something about that seated role that McDonald's has, and their 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.720 Max Sauce is just on point. 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.360 Yeah, there is a neat and park one and yeah, 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.280 many places you go have something in the realm. Yes, 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:06.400 and I'm a fan of all. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.520 I sure am too. The third one from me is 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.920 what is the best summer road trip song? Anything by 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:13.840 the Grateful Dead Cousin. 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.120 I mean, come on, that is kind of a road 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.479 trip in. I don't have a favorite on that one. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:20.279 I mean there's a million to pick from. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.880 Matt. Matt just listens to podcasts on the summer road 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:23.279 I do. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.479 I'm gonna be back and forth to Kentucky here in 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:29.440 the coming days, and there'll be a lot of podcasting. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.680 Which will be good because when Mac gets back, he'll 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:31.960 be like, dude, you got to listen to this, this, 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.159 and this and there. Yeah, I always love it. Listen 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.200 to McShay on this and Brugler on this and these 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:37.920 are all really good. 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.080 How many times on Thursday we will be like, well, 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:45.600 so it's listening to a podcast the other day, And. 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.840 Like when we do a round campus, Matt'll be like, oh, 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.880 you should listen to the McShay thing on, you know, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.960 on such and such. Yeah, yeah, it's it is fun. 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.120 I tell you what, guys. This this Matt Williamson. He's 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:57.440 like a football encyclopedia. Darius tweets us and asks and says, 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.960 I'm in an old school touchdown only fantas see football league. 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.480 I have third pick. Consensus is that Gibs and Beijon 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.640 in some order will go one and two. Who would 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.960 you take for pick three? Rushing and receiving touchdowns are 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.520 worth six points, Throwing touchdowns are worth four points. 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.200 And all accounts are touchdowns wow, yard zone matter, receptions 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.440 or anything. I wouldn't take a quarterback. I would say McCaffrey. 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.880 He just scores a million. Jamar Chase is kind of 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:29.120 the consensus three, as is Pooka. I wouldn't change it 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.719 too much, but I would definitely bump up McCaffrey and Henry. 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.880 I mean their body of work is scoring touchdowns is 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:37.720 incredibly high. 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.480 Yes, yes it is. That's an interesting that's a that's 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.640 a different Really, I don't like. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.600 That league at all. You lose makes it a lot 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:46.320 less predictive. 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.760 Sure sure, Annie tweets us, and she says the hose 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.480 issue is easy to solve. Buy a decent, sturdy, metal 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.640 wheeled hose caddy. But you guys are on your own 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:55.560 with the Christmas. 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.280 Lights, though I did I did see that. 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:58.279 I need to get one of those. 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.640 I have one of those in the back. The front 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.520 we have old school you take the hose in like 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.240 the garage one. You know, it's like one of these 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.760 things where you take this and you go around all 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.920 the way around. Yeah, by hand. That one never gets 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:12.400 wrapped up. 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:14.920 Mike tweet ess and says, it's one hundred and four 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:18.320 degrees here in Naples, Florida today. My seat is hot. 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.760 But you think Caleb Johnson might even be on a 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.200 hotter seat. Yep, Yes, we talked about that in the 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.599 first hour of the show. I threw I think it 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.480 was eight or nine names at Matt and was like, 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.880 should this guy be calm, concerned, worried, panicked? If you 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:32.840 miss that, you can go back and find it. In 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.320 the first hour of the podcast feed s and R 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.920 drive wherever you get your podcasts. But he seems like. 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:41.040 Panicked. 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.320 There's not enough Uh yeah, there's not enough lifeboats on 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:45.839 the Titanic for him to have a seat. 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.800 Now there's a chance. I don't know what their plan is. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.760 He gets twelve carries on Friday, and if that happens, 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.120 whether he does well with them or not, I would 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:59.600 think he might go to move one layer up. I 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.799 wouldn't ever, says calm. But maybe they're like, well, let's 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.080 give him bunch and see what he does. 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.359 Mister Morris asks, when do we start to get worried 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.680 about Maxie honicch You are not practicing when it was 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:14.840 said he would be back last week, now earlier, real quick. 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.840 I I don't remember the exact quote from Mike McCarthy, 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.320 but I don't think he came out absolutely and said, oh, yeah, 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.360 he'll be back on Monday. I think it was something Monday, 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.520 Monday definitely came out of his mouth, and I think 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.880 it was like, we're hoping to have him back by. 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.600 Monday or on Monday or something like that. Right, he 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.040 didn't say he'll be back Monday, and if he isn't scared. 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.880 Now, again, that was also six days ago, so it's 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.200 it's a little it's a little different if okay, it's 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.520 not quite on Monday, but he's back on such and 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.560 such day, and we know that there was the preseason 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.120 game in there too, So I had a couple, had 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:46.040 a couple of days off. 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.120 I kind of thought today would be the day. Though. 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.680 Let's do that. Say I did as well, Let's do 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:56.120 that same Matt calm concerned, worried, panicked with Max and 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:57.400 the not practicing, I would go. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.160 I would say calm plus or concerned minus, and. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.000 Again not for his long term future. 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.520 It's just for the current situation. 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:06.560 Yeah, I want man. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.240 I was really because it's a neck slash stinger, right, 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.200 I believe I just hate hearing the word neck too. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.160 I mean, maybe it's because Brodert Jones fresh on my 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:13.920 mind or you know. 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.280 I thought, and hey, it was only a few practices, 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:17.960 but I really thought he was on a fast track 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:19.160 to be starting by week one. 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.240 Yeah, which still could be the case. 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.080 Still could be the case. But the longer and longer 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.000 he goes, the more and more difficult it becomes for 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:25.960 selfish purposes. 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.560 You and I only get to see him one more time. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.440 I know, you know, he was a lot of fun 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:29.880 to watch it. 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:31.600 I know, I'm really hoping he practices tomorrow. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.360 A lot of fun to watch. Ian says, which rookie 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.760 quarterback from this weekend impressed you the most? Personally? I 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.480 think Ty Simpson looked fantastic. 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.120 I heard that I didn't see yet. Aler's got to 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:41.400 be high. 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.520 I was going to say the two here in Pittsburgh. 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:46.040 I think have to be high on the list. Ty Simpson, Hey, 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.560 you look at it. I mean he was twenty one 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.640 of twenty nine with a couple touchdown passes. That that's impressive, 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:53.360 had a very good showing. 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.920 Yeah, overall, it sounds like I mean Beck's done well. 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.000 He played in the first week, he didn't play the 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:58.840 second week, and I. 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.760 Guess technically Will Howard don't count as a rookie for 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:07.400 all intents and purposes. Uh, pretty close there for debuts, Yes, exactly, 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:10.040 it was his debut. Yeah, I wonder how that works 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:11.920 because you know how the rookies they get that patch 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:13.760 when they play their first NFL game that says like 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:15.320 rookie debut. Do you know what I'm talking about. 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:16.040 I didn't know that. 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.440 Yeah, And so I wonder if Will Howard will get 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:22.599 that for his for the Steelers first. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.720 Game, so you get it NFL. 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.320 It says NFL premiere with the year jersey patch worn 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.880 by rookies during their first regular season game, because like 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.640 I remember Zach Frasier wearing. 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:37.520 One, So they he'll so like for example, Jerremy the 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.880 patch that he got through the season. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.320 No, just just the first it's just the first game. 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.080 I've never seen it like regular season week ten on 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:45.640 a guy. 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.240 Yes, No, yeah, you won't see that it's for one 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.280 game because I I still remember they just started doing 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.400 it a couple of years ago, and it still gets me. 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.520 It still gets me every every year where I'm like, 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.440 wait a second, he's wearing a patch. What is that 0:09:58.480 --> 0:09:59.360 thing I'm trying to put. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.360 If Hanachre doesn't play at all during the regular preseason, 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:09.079 doesn't isn't active Game one, and doesn't start until week four, 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:10.319 he would get one. 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.120 Week four, I believe so, Okay, I believe. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.000 So, or I'm probably probably the first days act like 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:15.720 you see, they don't care. 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.839 Here's a picture of Marian yeah wearing one last year, 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:20.520 and then of course it gets taken off and put 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:25.480 into a trading card and becomes it's all about some 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:29.080 money and some revenue and some merchandise. But yeah, they 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.360 wear those little one game. 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.679 Every NFL player will have one of those their first game. 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.400 Imagine Will Howard if he's active, if he's not, like 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.160 the emergency quarterback, No, I don't think it's I don't 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:41.360 think it's preseason. I think it's regular. 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:45.320 Okay, does emergency quarterback count? 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.040 That's what I don't know. I mean, because he will 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.960 be in uniform, but he's technically not part of the 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.880 active roster unless he has to be, you know, a 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.360 loophole break, classic case of emergency. R J says, what 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.240 do you guys think the split will look like for 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.800 Uncle Rico and Jalen Warren this year? 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.640 But it's all said and done in terms of touches, 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:08.480 not necessarily carries. I think Warren will be just between 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.800 the two of them, not counting the peripherals. I'd say 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.160 sixty forty Warren. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.559 Sixty forty warrant and you're saying that's just carries. Total 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:17.720 touches overall. 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.520 Because I think the receptions will favor him heavily. 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.679 Yeah, I would too, I absolutely would. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.800 I think he'll have a lot more receptions than Dowdell. 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.000 Dowdle probably is more carries, but I think that's close, 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.400 and then they'll be like fifteen percent the others. 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.280 I get what you're saying, I get what. 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.240 You're at, Homer or whoever. 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.280 Yeah, that seems to make sense. Yeah, let's see Michael 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.040 tweets here. We got time for maybe one or two more. 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:44.160 Michael tweets here and says some thoughts on the preseason game. 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.800 Wants to see Hoffman given a more of an opportunity. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.880 But observation number one, want to see a Hoffman given 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.720 more of an opportunity to be starter over Spencer Anderson. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.640 I didn't think Anderson played great. I'm a Hoffman believer, 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.360 but I'm starting to think that that's not a competition anymore. 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.280 I think it's Anderson's job, which I don't have a 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:04.680 problem with. 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.320 I I don't either, but that has you know what, 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.599 You're kind of right? That has kind of seemed. 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.760 Doesn't sound like they're using like a battle anymore. 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.360 Exactly right, exactly right. 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.480 There's logic that I don't agree with that some coaches 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:24.320 buy into though that I know Anderson could play center 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.440 if he had to, but there's a lot more confidence 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:33.120 if Anderson's If Anderson and Hoffman are equal right guards. Okay, 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.000 let's just say let's pretend that's the case, or that 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:40.320 they would put Hoffman on the bench, because there's a 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.320 chance Hoffman could get hurt at right guard. Then Fraser 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:49.199 gets hurt and nobody can snap. You see what I'm saying, Like, Yes, 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.640 there's a fear in the coaching community that we get. 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.600 Into a late third quarter, and I can't have anybody 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:56.440 that can snap. 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.240 And yes, if you've ever experienced it probably scars you 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.760 to ed sure, But like we can't go shotgun. We 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.960 have nobody that's ever really snapped, now, I know Anderson has. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.000 But a lot of teams will look at it that 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:14.079 way that if you're also the backup center, sometimes it 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:15.880 hurts your chances to be a starting guard. 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.439 You know what, Matt, I had never really kind of 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:20.920 looked at it that way, but that makes a ton 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:21.199 of sense. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:22.959 That'd be a lot of disaster. Two guys would have 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.040 to get hurt. But we've seen if your two top 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.280 centers are on the field for sixty snaps, there's a 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.480 better chance they both get hurt than if one's on 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:29.880 the bench. 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.400 That's that's simple statistics right there. Man, Snapping is important, 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.960 you know what. It sure is lightly taken for granted, 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.520 it sure is. And and that's a that's a very 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.440 astute point that you that you made there, and and 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.320 maybe part of the reason why we haven't had as 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:48.200 much conversation about Brockhoffman being a starting guard to this point. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:49.800 Being a backup at all three of those spots is 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.480 really valuable. But I can't have you get hurt and 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:53.800 then be on the edge of my seat. Oh no, 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:54.559 that can't get hurt. 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.600 Yeah right, every time Zach ends up in a pile, 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.560 you're holding your breath. Let's get too well. Our first 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.840 break here at the five o'clock hour, we're gonna hear 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.160 from from a little bit from offensive coordinator Brian Angelico 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.760 and defensive courteator Patrick Graham will continue to keep you 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.160 posted on everything going on here at Saint Vincent College. 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.400 West Ruler Matt Williams said, it's the bonus hour of 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.520 the Drive Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network. 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:24.080 This is live coverage out the twenty twenty six Steelers 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:29.320 Training Camp or the Steelers Audio Network, presented by bod Light, 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.480 Easy to drink, easy to enjoy, and brought to you 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.440 in part by Always Safe Flagging and Traffic Control Making 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.640 traffic Safe again called four one two three oh one 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:43.880 twenty three hundred or visit us online at awsafe dot 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.560 net for a quote today by FedEx, the new Power 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:52.760 Move Independence Health System Expert Care here, Remax Select Realty 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:57.040 Visit Remax Select Pittsburgh dot com.

Matt with that, some 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.520 some coaches and some coordinators speaking earlier today and once 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.480 again we heard from Patrick Graham and Brian Angelico. I was, 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.800 I was laughing at the preseason game Thursday night. Patrick 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.760 Graham was, you know most places do this, but you 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.760 have to to get into the kind of food and 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.880 beverage area of the press box. You got to show 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.280 your badge, of course, because they won't just let anybody 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.080 walk in and eat and take drinks and all that. 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:48.480 You got to show your badge that you know, your 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.680 credentials to prove that you belong. And uh, I think 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.280 Patrick Graham was quickly kind of trying to go back 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:55.200 and forth to get some. 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.320 Coffee, okay, and the coaching from. 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.800 From the coaching box, and the poor the poor young 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:02.600 girl was kind of like, excuse me, sir, can I 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.160 see your badge? And he was like, oh, it's over there. 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:10.400 I'm just running real quick and like myself and Chris 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.920 Hallick and I think maybe Jerry Doulac. We were like, 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.000 he's a coach, he's fine, and she was like, oh, okay, 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:16.480 go ahead. He was like, I'm just getting a coughin 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.520 real quick. I promise I'll be in it out. But 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.560 Patrick Graham speaking earlier today as well, as it was 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.480 pretty funny, he was he was being very kind about it, 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.600 like he was he wasn't trying a big time or anything, 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:28.920 but he was like, I'm just a coach. I'm just 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:30.920 running over here real quick to grab a cup of coffee. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.720 And we were all like, he's fine, he's telling the truth. 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:36.240 He's not fine. Patrick Graham speaking here, and then we'll 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:40.080 also hear from Brian Angelico, offensive coordinator, So your defensive coordinator, 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.920 then your offensive coordinator. As we approached the end of camp, 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:44.120 here's what they had to say. 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.200 But I thought the way they handled the huddle, got 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.120 out of a huddle, got to the checks, it was 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:51.200 it was pretty impressive. 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.400 And most importantly, we took care of the football. So 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.880 that was a good start. Played coming down the sideline, 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:56.680 broke the tackle. 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.040 Yeah, how much do you see that being a part 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.800 of your offensive You have some big and tough to 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.280 tackle receivers downfield. 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:04.640 Yeah, we hope all our guys. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.439 I mean, that's a big part of this offense is 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.119 to catch and run the rack and and to do 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:09.480 that in. 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.280 This league, you got to be able to break tackle. 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:12.320 So it's good to see him in. 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:12.680 Max. 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:13.960 Max had a nice one as well. 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.400 Mike has harped on the mental wearers, and I think 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.040 you guys started the first team of running with the 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:22.400 penalty and then. 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.240 Exactly, Yeah, at what point are you going to get 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.840 more concerned with Yeah, I mean, you know, each day 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.720 that goes on, it's something we got to fix and 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.240 we will fix and uh, something that that we're addressing daily, 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:34.840 and it's certainly got to get better. 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.760
