00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,520

00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,600

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: Here.

40
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: Looks like we're gonna have a little team period action here.

41
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it.

42
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: Let's let's see what we get into red zone.

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: It looks like, okay, now this is back there. They

44
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: coming out the way. Okay, looks like Ramsey deeping their

45
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: own end like on the eight or nine or ten's

46
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: right in that neighborhood.

47
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna get Ramsey and as you know, very important

48
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: to report here, Matt. It looks like Deshaun Elliott and

49
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: Jayalen Ramsey have their own super secret handshake that they

50
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 2: were just they were just practicing in the in the

51
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: secondary there, Uh, Joey Porter Junior out there as well.

52
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: It'll be Watt and Herbic on the edges. You got

53
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: louder Milk and trying to see looks like Laddermilk, Benton.

54
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: Benton, And I can't tell. Is that Harmon on the

55
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: on the on the left there, I think that's yeah,

56
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: it looks like his body type.

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: Uh, Sleigh and Porter at the boundary.

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: Louderman's getting a little more action when higher up the

59
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: depth chart because the can being out a lot of yeah, a.

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: Lot of spin. And it looks like Ramsey is lining up.

61
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: This is a true base look for the Steelers defense,

62
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: and Ramsey will be lining up in safety here. It

63
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: looks like with the Shawn Elliott.

64
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you said, there's four defensive backs on the

65
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: field and it's Porter, Sleigh, Elliott.

66
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: And when they have four defensive backs on the field,

67
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: I think this is what we will see.

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: I wasn't sure early in camp, but I do think

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: he's going to be the MINKA.

70
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: I mean the centerfielder right now, Jalen Ramsey is is.

71
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 2: The first play will be a run to Jalen Warren

72
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: does a good job to free up some space and

73
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: man Ramsey comes down. Yeah, didn't tackle him to the ground,

74
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: but gave him.

75
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: Am game a little get him off his feet.

76
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: And uh, That's that's something I'm excited to see too.

77
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: Like I think they're gonna be able to activate their

78
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: safeties much more this year.

79
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: I think so too, especially they start playing more cover

80
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: four and quarter stuff.

81
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: Let's let's see your safeties. They don't have to start

82
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: every snap moving back. They can trigger downhill at that

83
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: run game, which is I think what this defense needs

84
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: to get back to doing more of as again, and

85
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: Elliott will come down into the box and Ramsey will

86
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: be that the MINCA center fielder type. As Aaron Rodgers

87
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 2: is under center, Darnel Washington in motion, they'll play action

88
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: this time. Blitz My goodness, did that pocket collapse fast on?

89
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: Somebody stepped on Aaron Rodgers foot and he think that

90
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: was what he just kind of put the ball down.

91
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 3: Well, wats want to serve the pocket because the right

92
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: side just collapsed and he's out there runner out the football.

93
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: He must have swiped it off Rogers do I think

94
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: he did kind of what he does, all right, t J.

95
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: That's enough, buddy, good stuff. I think he's staying. And

96
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: you know what, maybe they just want him and feltanu

97
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: to get some get there for a good job again,

98
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: Like that's the first time that, you know, in a

99
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: few days that we've really seen TJ kind of wreck

100
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: a play. Now his work has been has been.

101
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: Limited still, but I think the right tackle was really benefited.

102
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: I think so too. I completely agreed. Caleb Johnson checks in,

103
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: he gets the handoff, nice hole there as he's able

104
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: to find. Game would have been a decent game. Yeah,

105
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: pay Wilson would have had a chance at him, but

106
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: he'd been able to.

107
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: Get pass four or five yards out field.

108
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: As I'm liking this today, Man, we're seeing a lot

109
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: more from the run game.

110
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: Here so far. Yeah, I think they're trying to stress,

111
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 3: you know, moving people to line of scrimmage, hitting the hole.

112
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: And one thing I forget where I saw this, but

113
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: somebody broke it down. It might have just been like

114
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: one of those aggregator accounts on Twitter or something like that.

115
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: But Caleb Johnson's runs Saturday in Jacksonville with the first

116
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: team offensive line and the second team offensive.

117
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: Line were they noticely different.

118
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: Noticeably He averaged four yards of carry when the first

119
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 2: team offensive line was out there, and like one point

120
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: eight second team offensive So that was a little more encouraging.

121
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, that adds up. I thought the second team

122
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: O line struggled in the run game but were pretty

123
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 3: good in protection.

124
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: I think that's fair. And I thought the second offensive

125
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: line unit got stronger as they were out there, Like

126
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: I thought the first couple series more terrible, but they

127
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: were not great.

128
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: There were some new faces in new places too. They

129
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: didn't really have a true center, and you know.

130
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: And I think that I do think they did a

131
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: good job of of settling in is as they've.

132
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: Made a big liner switch here with the big fellows.

133
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: They sure did.

134
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: And it looks like Pete's gonna be at left guard

135
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: again with Cook at left tackle.

136
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: That's that's sharping at center, sharping at center with Ja

137
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: and Jones on the right side. I'll be interested to

138
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: see if we see nestor get any work at center

139
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: today because he got a little yesterday and then after

140
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: practice him and Skyler Thompson were working on center quarterback

141
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: exchanges for twenty minutes.

142
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's I mean, look at it like, what if, yeah,

143
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: if McCollum doesn't play, I'm talking about preseason, yeah, and

144
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: what if Sharping gets banged up?

145
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: If you yeah, but if you get to the end

146
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: of the month and Fraser's your only healthy center, you.

147
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 3: Know, like, yeah, you need to cross train some of

148
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: these guys. Absolutely who can snap?

149
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: You know, absolutely do And I think I had shared

150
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: this with you before. But during his time at Virginia

151
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: Tech and then WU I think Nester played every position

152
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: but center.

153
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask did he have any center background

154
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: that you know?

155
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: No, he did not Virginia Tech and obviously got at

156
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 2: WVU because Fraser was there had that position after two

157
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: games into his freshman year.

158
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,679
Speaker 3: Was maybe emergency cross train in traffic or in practice

159
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: here and there.

160
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: Most of it, it's possible when he was because he

161
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: did his freshman year at Virginia Tech before transferring to WVU,

162
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: It's possible he might have done some stuff, but he

163
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: was the starting right guard for Virginia Tech his freshman year,

164
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: I believe.

165
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: Before transferring back to it mostly guard at w B.

166
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: He played mostly guard at WV. He'd kick out the

167
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: tackle like there was a couple of games where Wu

168
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: had an injury at tackle and he would be the

169
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: one who would kick out. But mostly mostly guarded. That's why.

170
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: And I know I told you this. Zach's senior year

171
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: and Doug's their senior year. WVU led the country averaging

172
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: like two hundred and twenty eight rush yards per game,

173
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: and it was running behind those two. They had one

174
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: of the worst Power five rushing attacks they were averaging. Oh,

175
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: nice interception there by Cole Holcom picking it off his shoelaces,

176
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 2: baby and running it back.

177
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: It was really good. But that one got away from Mason.

178
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: That one did get away from Mason and he boots

179
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: the ball in the air to celebrate after his forever

180
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: after his pick six. Nice play there by Cole Holkom.

181
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 3: There was a real nice play. But yeah, I would

182
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: down load to grab it off his shoelaces.

183
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: Before before Fraser and Nester got the campus, averaging like

184
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: eighty eight rush yards per game, one of the worst

185
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: in Power five to the best in Power five nearly

186
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty.

187
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: And it wasn't like there was a superstar running back.

188
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely not, Letty Brown was. It was a

189
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: decent player who had a cup of coffee with but

190
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: none of them were like early draft, right I no, no,

191
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: absolutely not. Yeah, it's not like they had an Ashton

192
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 2: gent right, not even a you know, a Jalen Warren

193
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: or who was you know, a good, good college running

194
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: back at Oklahoma State as Trey Sermon.

195
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: Now that's got swallowed up pretty quick.

196
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: Gets the feed from an Oklahoma State guy in his

197
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: own right, Mason Rudolph as Yes, that same same offensive

198
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: line combination that we just laid out.

199
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: I think that's basically the second line at this point,

200
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 3: like tomorrow and Saturday. I think when when line two

201
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 3: comes out, unless McCollum comes back, right, which I haven't

202
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: heard any indication.

203
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: He's set to be, I think you're I think at

204
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: this point that's.

205
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: Sharpen at center.

206
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: That's a fair assumption. Thompson will check in now at

207
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: quarterback as Connor Hayward will go in motion from left

208
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: to right under center is Thompson. He pitches this one

209
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: out to Trey Sermon, I.

210
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 3: Believe outside zone looked like it was blocked up pretty well.

211
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 2: It did look like it was blocked pretty well. What

212
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: have been a nice, nice game.

213
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: There a lot of pre snap motion with tight ends

214
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: all camp.

215
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: All camp, and that's something we saw change in the balance,

216
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: and that's something that we saw to last year, certainly,

217
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: but I think even more so.

218
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's rare for a play not to have pre

219
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: snap motion almost always with a time well I'm not always,

220
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: but film with the tight end.

221
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 2: As Thompson will step back into huddle here, they're continuing

222
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: to work on backed up you know, shadow of their

223
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: end zone, own ten yard line stuff here kind of

224
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: now they have them set up in like a second

225
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: and four as we'll have some motion again here and

226
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: under center is Thompson. He'll fake the handoff, dumps it

227
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: off to Darnell Washington.

228
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: Or rumbling, bumbling, stumbling.

229
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: No one's tackling him, nobody wants to, nobody wants to

230
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: get in his That's.

231
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 3: A play we saw so often last year where boot

232
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: or play action boot roll right, he leaks out Washington

233
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 3: for about a four yard game and then who knows

234
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 3: after that? I mean it's a pretty easy completion. Like

235
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: you mentioned, that was second and four. I think they

236
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 3: were just looking at the first down, would have accomplished that,

237
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: and then the challenge of well he started rumbling on

238
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: the sideline, somebody's gonna have to push him out of bounds.

239
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: We get them on the ground, you know. But we've

240
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: seen a much more expanded role than just that. But

241
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 3: I'm sure people remember a lot of his catches came

242
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 3: on that play last year.

243
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: Yes, and that's something he did well. It's something they

244
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 2: did well now like him more and more.

245
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 3: Yep.

246
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 2: And I know I had the stat for you a

247
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: few days ago and we talked about this, but he

248
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: had nineteen receptions, did Darnel Washington last season, and nine

249
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: of them so almost half were for first.

250
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 3: Down, first out, and that was like that would have

251
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 3: been second and four, he easily would have picked up five. Yes,

252
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: plus yes as special teams.

253
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 2: Let's see here, Matt. I think I've got some unfortunate

254
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: news to share with you.

255
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

256
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: Now I don't see Aaron Rodgers over there with the

257
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: quarterbacks after getting his footstepped on. Oh and there are

258
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 2: reports that he was just getting some ice and seeing

259
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: a trainer I don't see.

260
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: You'd hope if you available for the joint practice, you.

261
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: Would certainly hope that that is the case. And hopefully

262
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: it's just, you know, just a little stinger, something.

263
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 3: Weird's super uncomfortable.

264
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 2: It's got to be. I mean, listen, anyone who's ever

265
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 2: played sports and you get stepped on with a pair

266
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: of cleats, like, whether you played football, whether you played baseball,

267
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: whether you played soccer, you get stepped on cleats. It

268
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 2: does not feel good, especially from a big human being

269
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: like TJ. Watt.

270
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: So he is not off that play. It was off

271
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: that plot destroyed the pocket.

272
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: And yes, and I'm looking for him.

273
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: They gotta stay a little I mean, I'm sure the

274
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: coaches aren't thrilled. You got it. No matter what, you

275
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: gotta stay away from the quarterbacks.

276
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: Stay away from the quarterbacks. It looks like he's got

277
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: like a little wrap on his ankle according to some pictures. Here.

278
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 3: Where's he at? I'm looking for him. You haven't seen it.

279
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: I do not see him because all the quarterbacks are

280
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: over there.

281
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: I see Mason sitting on a bench.

282
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking is he's probably sitting down over.

283
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 3: There, ice on it or something.

284
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 2: With exactly right as it looks. Let's see he's got it.

285
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: I'm seeing all the pictures here of him out there

286
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: with ice on his on his leg, slash ankle. We

287
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: just don't see him anywhere right now. There is seem

288
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: he's starting to walk across the field. Now he's going back.

289
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: He has the wrap off, which is good. Yeah, got

290
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 2: the ice off of his foot. He is walking a

291
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: little gingerly, but still has his helmet in his hand.

292
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 2: He's not leaving, as we always have said, kind of

293
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: the big indicators. If they leave practice, that's a massive right, right,

294
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: If they leave practice.

295
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: Means immediate attention or expert or whatever.

296
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: Doesn't always mean it's terrible, but means it's at least

297
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 2: something that they're being concerned about. Yeah, and remember we

298
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: talked about that yesterday with Slagh. That was the good

299
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: news with Sleigh yesterday was he stayed out there and

300
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 2: had some ice on his foot.

301
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 3: And kinda is like the same field, kind of has

302
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 3: kind of walking on it, kind of slow and gingerly,

303
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: but he's with his teammates and yeah, you know, has

304
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: helmet in hand.

305
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: And again, if they thought there was any reason to

306
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: cart him back up to the locker room.

307
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 3: They would absolutely do it.

308
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: So some good news there.

309
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: I think. Keep an eye on the rest of press.

310
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: He will keep an eye on the rest of practice,

311
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: and like you mentioned, hopefully especially that he is that

312
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: he is available to go Thursday in that joint practice

313
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: against the Bucks. Yeah, big big one on Thursday.

314
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 3: I'm sure he wasn't playing either way on Saturday, but

315
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: I would like to see him against the box for sure.

316
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: I think we're on the same page there. And I'm

317
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: laughing now, Matt, because I've joked with you about this before.

318
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: How like there's times throughout camp that every single reporter

319
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: sends out the same exact tweet and pictures, like on

320
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: the days where the bad weather rolls in, like they

321
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: all the same picture storm clouds coming in over the monastery.

322
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: You see a dozen people tweet it. When now they're

323
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: all twitter blowing up, all tweeting pictures. Picture of Rogers

324
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: with his his Uh okay, so it looks like he

325
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: got a cut on his shin and put a rap

326
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: and a little bit of ice on it. So maybe

327
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: it was just to stop the bleeding or something.

328
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 3: You know, like that, maybe a cleat went like sliding

329
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: down a shin I'm sure hurts, and we're all we're

330
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: probably like, oh good, Yeah, that's nothing bad. But that

331
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: didn't happen to me. It hurts big, But I doubt

332
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 3: that'll keep him from playing any you know, for an

333
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: extended stretch. If it's basically just a cut.

334
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: I think you are correct. Is those things, those those

335
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: things sting, those things hurt.

336
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: I'm sure it hurts.

337
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: Not the end of the world. As he is again

338
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: still out there, and it looks like now he's got

339
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: his helmet on and he's even going to go through

340
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: some some quarterback drills here.

341
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I think he's very Yeah, he's helmets on.

342
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: He just threw.

343
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: He lifted the leg like he was bugging him after

344
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 3: he threw off it. But I mean, I'm sure it was.

345
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: I'm sure it was. I mean, like, but how many

346
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: times something like that happened to a game and you

347
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 3: know you don't even miss play a couple of times

348
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: a year, Yeah, I would imagine quite a bit.

349
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but good news. Helmet back on, he's going through

350
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: some some passing drills with the quarterbacks over there, So

351
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: crisis averted here.

352
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: Heavy punt block going on in the deep deep you know.

353
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they got punting from like the one yard

354
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: line move. Yeah. They practiced this a lot, which is

355
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 3: smart because it can't go wrong. It goes wrong, it

356
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 3: goes wrong bad, real bad. Yeah, And you know this

357
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 3: was this was and they pract it both ways. I mean,

358
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: they're one of the best punt block teams in the league.

359
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: And if you can get one down there, I mean it's.

360
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: Points, always points. Ye as, it'll be weightman's turn now

361
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: and hey reminds me of I know, Chris Boswell isn't

362
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: the one stepping up to kick. He's just hanging He's

363
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: just hanging out in the back of the end zone

364
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: and his jersey in a ball cap right now.

365
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 3: A lot of pressure there.

366
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: But this was that was like the same situation that

367
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: that Boswell had to had to get a pun off

368
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: in the season opener down in Atlanta last year.

369
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: No shocker, Killer Brew was the one that really puts

370
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: some heat on him.

371
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: Man, he is so good at that. It's incredible too,

372
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: because it's one of those things, like we talk about,

373
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: I think one of the most impressive things in sports

374
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: is when everybody knows what's coming and they still can't

375
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: stop it. Yeah, you know, you know the schemes fastball,

376
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: but you still can't hit it. Like you know, Alex

377
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: ve stands in the same spot and right, you can't

378
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: stop him. You know, you know exactly what he's doing.

379
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: You still can't stop him. Man Miles killerbrew Is. Everyone

380
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: knows that he is just an ace at this and

381
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: they he still finds ways to get free.

382
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 3: As Cam Johnson's the one that I was actual sort

383
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: of a part of was I've said it on these

384
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: airways a ton like we could have put up on

385
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 3: the then Hinsfield scoreboard. We're throwing Larry and just truck

386
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 3: that thing up and he's coming down with it off

387
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 3: and against pac Man Jones.

388
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, that's funny though, because Larry Fitzgerald

389
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: never beat w he was in school. Thanks for giving

390
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 2: me a chance to dunk.

391
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 3: That one home. Appreciate the alley there and Larry, Yeah,

392
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: put two and two together on that were that hangtime

393
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 3: on that.

394
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 2: There were a lot of There were a lot of

395
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: fun players on in the backyard Brawl in that early

396
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 2: twenty five century stretched there.

397
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 3: I mentioned that pit team we played against the Heath

398
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: Miller Virginia team. We had like eleven guys drafted off

399
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: that team. Larry was the first one, of course, but

400
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: there was a bunch of them that were ended up

401
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 3: having decent careers. Yeah, and you know the Loopolite and

402
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: Chante Spencer and Cory Cox.

403
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was no those those those era. I mean, listen,

404
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: the backyard Brawl is always fun. It's one of the

405
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: great rivalries in collegiate athletics, I think, in all of sports.

406
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: I'm obviously a little biased, but I think a lot

407
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 2: of people in this region would agree with me as

408
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 2: well too, especially when it went away for.

409
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: You know, eleven twelve years, right, it was best.

410
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, there was some really fun you know, Larry

411
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: Fitzgerald and Chris Henry Henry and yeah, a lot of fun.

412
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: A lot of fun personalities as well too amongst the

413
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: coaching staff, and you know. So yeah, it's it's good.

414
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: Good to have a back and hey about about a

415
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: month from now, actually the BRA will be happening thirty

416
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: one days from now, down and down in Morgantown.

417
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: I think for that last one, Steelers linebacker coach Scott

418
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: mccury and I were both graduate assistants together that last one. Yeah,

419
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: he was the defensive and I was the recruiting.

420
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: You got a connection with everybody.

421
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 3: Man, I tell you he was a player for us,

422
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 3: and then he quickly turned into a GA now highly

423
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 3: accomplished NFL coach.

424
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: It's all. That's where it starts for all these guys, right,

425
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin, it was Bill Stewart, the old WVU coach

426
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: who gave Tomlin his first coaching gig when Bill Stewart

427
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 2: was at vm I before before WVU, and Tomlins told

428
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 2: the story, there's a really cool like NFL special when

429
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: because you know, Bill Stewart was at vm I, gave

430
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: Tomlin his first job, and then Bill Stewart goes on

431
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: to become the head coach at WVU. Mike Tomlin, the

432
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bill's son, Blaine Stewart, then,

433
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: you know who's with the Steelers for a long time,

434
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: got his first coaching job from Mike Tomlin, and he

435
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: is now he is now speaking of joint practices in

436
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: this weekend. He's now the tight ends coach for the

437
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Blaine Stewart is okay, so that that

438
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: whole lot of stuff. But like Mike, there's pictures of

439
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: like Mike Tomlin holding baby Blaine Stewart, like you know

440
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 2: when he's like twenty two working his first GA job.

441
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 2: That's interesting, it is there's always a connection with these

442
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: guys and that's the whole like football is family thing, man,

443
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: it really is. Like all these guys are so and

444
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: we see that with Max. You can't go anywhere with

445
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 2: just here. We go to Indianapolis, every every block of

446
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 2: the street, somebody does also stick out like a sore thumb.

447
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 3: We're over due first real quick. Like Walt Harris was

448
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: the head coach that hired me and was the three

449
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,239
Speaker 3: years I was there, but like, hell, you wouldn't even

450
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: think about it. But he gave John Gruden his first job.

451
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 3: He gave Pete Carroll his first job. Wow. Yeah, Brendan Carroll,

452
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 3: his son was a walk on tight end with us.

453
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 3: I think he's coaching, you know right.

454
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 2: That is awesome? Hey, that's all. That's all these got much,

455
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 2: you know, much like a lot of these guys with

456
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: their stories of like trying to get like Jayleen Warren

457
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: his senior year he went to a small high school

458
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: in Utah. Jalen Warren, Yeah, shattered Utah rushing records, but

459
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: had no offers from anywhere, had to start at some

460
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: small junior college. Then he went to Utah State, then

461
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 2: he finally finished it at Oklahoma State. But that's how

462
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: it is for a lot of these players. That's how

463
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 2: it certainly is for a lot of these coaches as

464
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 2: well too.

465
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 3: Dale did a real in depth feature article on Jalen

466
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 3: Warren and yeah, probably over a year ago. It seems

467
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 3: like a year ago is probably two after he was

468
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 3: like accomplished and made the team and his backgrounds pretty crazy,

469
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: but he was, you know, he was a super highly

470
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: regarded high school back, but just because as you mentioned,

471
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 3: didn't get the same attention, you know.

472
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: Like rushed for over three thousand yards his senior year.

473
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's dominant players. There's quotes in there from his

474
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: high school coach about how incredible he was, and right, yep,

475
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 3: it's like, why is anybody on this guy?

476
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: Hey? Sometimes you just sometimes those diamonds in the rough

477
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 2: are laying out there. Yeah, both on the field and

478
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: on the sidelines. In terms of the coaching staff, looks

479
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 2: like special teams period is wrapping up. We'll get back

480
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: into some of.

481
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 3: The area team pgs out there when we return.

482
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: As we roll along here on another busy day on campus,

Speaker 1: by US steel.

494
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 2: Team period undergoing in front of us as we got

495
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: some things to update everybody, a couple of things. Aaron

496
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: Rodgers back in for team period. That's the good news.

497
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: Looks like he has a small rap on his calf

498
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: on a ship on his calf is probably the best

499
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: way to describe it, and has looked a little off.

500
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 3: Since that wasn't the best showing since he came back Yeah.

501
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: Through an interception to Pierre. Nice play by Pierre to

502
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 2: be fair with a kind of fifty to fifty that

503
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: ball with with with Wilson. But the good news Rogers

504
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: out there and participating his first road.

505
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 3: He didn't look like he really stepped into it either,

506
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: kind of muscled it with his upper body and got

507
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 3: away from him. It was all some good pass rush.

508
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: Good pass rush by TJ. But I will say, uh, man,

509
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 2: I think another solid day for Roger Jones out here.

510
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is not a notice stood out in a

511
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 3: negative manner at all.

512
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: He certainly is not.

513
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 3: And nice one air to catch her bike Hayward.

514
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: He's been working mostly against her big today. I think

515
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 2: he's been doing doing a solid jobs.

516
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: You doing a solid job.

517
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice one handed snag there by Connor Hayward. Uh

518
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: we we've gotten a couple of tweets about Aaron Rodgers.

519
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 2: He has his calf shin area taped, not his ankle,

520
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: and he is still out there, not leaving practice.

521
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: So not a whole lot to worry about it.

522
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: So I don't think a whole lot to worry about it. Again,

523
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: if they if they thought it was anything potentially you know,

524
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: more than just a little ding he would, he would

525
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: be up in the locker room getting looked at. Wouldn't

526
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: have been back.

527
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: In participating fully. You could see it's bothering him. Just

528
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 3: a body language that certainly something.

529
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: Will keep an eye on. Yeah, hopefully just a you know,

530
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: a stinger for today.

531
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 3: And hasn't been a great period for the offense.

532
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 2: It has not been a great team period, this one

533
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: for the offense. After a successful start to practice, I

534
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: thought for them.

535
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, pass rush seems to be pushing people around and

536
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 3: a lot of people in quarterbacks faces and a lot

537
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 3: of inaccurate throws and not a real sharp offensive performance

538
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: at all.

539
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I certainly think that that that is accurate. As

540
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: we've got the two's in there now, we're seeing Darryl

541
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 2: Porter continue to get more spin out here as well.

542
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he plays a lot, he certainly has, so.

543
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 2: Certain that'll be something to keep an eye on, see

544
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 2: if maybe his role expands Saturday against Tampa. As now

545
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 2: Skyler Thompson will check in for the offense. Arthur Smith

546
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 2: something he didn't like, Arthur Smith blowing that one dead

547
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: and calling the offense back to the huddle.

548
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 3: Number one O line just kind of strolling down sideline here,

549
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 3: you know, if they're preparing for something on the far

550
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 3: on the right side of us, or what's going on there.

551
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Broderick having a conversation with Tara Austin right in

552
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: front of us. Broderick is one of those guys, man,

553
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: Like I feel like everybody in the organization has a

554
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: good relationship with him, probably to say that the most

555
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 2: concise way. But when he's down there on the field,

556
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 2: he taught, he's talking to all the coaches. Yeah, when

557
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: he's in the cafeteria, yes, yeah, like he I think

558
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: gets along with with everybody, which is, uh, it's import

559
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: it's important. I think he cares about you know what

560
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: I mean. And again, most of these guys, you don't

561
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 2: make it to the National Football League without caring.

562
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: But he's gone out there with some injuries as well

563
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: since he's been a Steeler.

564
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: And you know, he seems to be in the right

565
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: head space here heading into a big season for him

566
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: without a doubt, as I'm.

567
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 3: Really rooting for him for for himself as well as

568
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 3: the team needs them in a big way.

569
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, hundred percent. And I think you and I might

570
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: have talked about this, like the first one of those

571
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: first acclamation period practices three weeks ago when things were

572
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 2: really just getting going out here. It's big for him

573
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: obviously with his with his fifth year decision you know,

574
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: looming at the end of this upcoming season. It's also

575
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: massive for the Steelers. Too huge for the team to

576
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 2: not have to go into next year's draft needing to

577
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: draft another tackle.

578
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 3: That would be a setback. I mean, you don't want

579
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 3: to use your assets on that position. After using two

580
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 3: mid first round picks there, you would hope that that

581
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 3: even if they're not the best two tackles in the league,

582
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 3: that you just wouldn't could at least eliminate those needs.

583
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that they're not going to I

584
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 3: think there's a very good chance that Broder Jones gets

585
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 3: an extension. You know, who knows, But this is a

586
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: pivotal time for him and it would disrupt the overall

587
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 3: timeline if you had to go shopping for a left tackle.

588
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 3: And he's going to be a Steeler next year no

589
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 3: matter what. But whether the fifth year gets picked up

590
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 3: is to be decided. And it's not cheap.

591
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: It's not cheap, no, And as you and I have discussed,

592
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 2: like we've talked a lot about about that plan right then.

593
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 2: That feels like it's been it's been become very clear

594
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: for the Steelers over the last few months. If you

595
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: want to be a rest of next year and go

596
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 2: and identify your next franchise quarterback and go get them,

597
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 2: you man a lot of those assets, a lot of

598
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: that capital. You can't be going to hunt for a

599
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 2: tackle and a quarterback at the same time.

600
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: The problem is, I mean, the reality is, if you

601
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 3: need a tackle, you almost have to set aside a

602
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: first round pick to go do it totally. And you

603
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 3: just don't have that if that's going to a quarterback,

604
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 3: or if two of them is going to a quarterback

605
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 3: or whatever. I think there's a really good chance that

606
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty six first and the twenty twenty seven

607
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 3: first end up going somewhere for a quarterback. Well, then

608
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 3: how do you get the tackle? You know? So, I

609
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 3: a two guys are possible, but it's the percentages aren't great.

610
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: It's like, right after quarterback, the next position you would

611
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: probably list that like, I have to get this guy

612
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 2: in the first round is tackle.

613
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

614
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: And you know I was laying this out earlier because

615
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: Kinger and Max were asking me about this on in

616
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 2: the locker room. So okay, if you kind of want

617
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 2: a blueprint the Kansas City Chiefs when they went up

618
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: to get Patrick Mahomes, yes they were picking twenty seventh.

619
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 3: They originally won the playoffs that year.

620
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 2: Yes they were twelve and four, you know, won their division,

621
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: but we're still unable to get over that hump with

622
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 2: with Alex Smith. And like it sounds funny to say now,

623
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 2: but the entire NFL and Kansas City message that offseason

624
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 2: was this is just Andy Reid. He just can't wait,

625
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: you know, happened to him in Philadelphia.

626
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 3: Just can't win the back one'll he'll win the division titles.

627
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 2: He'll get you the playoffs. Like and then they started

628
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: that next season with Patrick Mahomes like seven and five

629
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: before they ended up in the AFC Championship Game, And

630
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,719
Speaker 2: there was a lot of like Motes and I were

631
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: laughing about this. The year later, like in November of

632
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: what would it have been, twenty nineteen, there were like

633
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: articles everywhere in Kansas City about fire and Andy Reid. Oh,

634
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 2: I know, and then and then you know, and then

635
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: two months later they were in the AFC Championship Game.

636
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: And now they've you know, been to what five or

637
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: six straight AFC championship games or super Bowls.

638
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: And his legacy in Philly, as you know, was really good.

639
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: Code you can't win the big one, but he had

640
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 3: like Bobby Hole, I mean, McNabb was the only guy

641
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 3: who's even close to being a good quarterback Kevin Cobb

642
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: and Hoying and those type of dudes too, you know, yes,

643
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 3: And he got the most out of Alex Smith that

644
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: year before I mean, definitely Smith's best year before my

645
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: home shows up. Absolutely, Then you give them my homes

646
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 3: and we've seen what happens from there.

647
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: And so from twenty seventh to tenth, they moved in

648
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: that in that oh okay, and it took them two

649
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 2: first round.

650
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: Picks, yeah, I know, there wasn't an extreme and a

651
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 3: third round and a third okay. So like if you want,

652
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: if they win a playoff.

653
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: Game this year, similar type of blueprint picking in the

654
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: twenty five, the twenty eight to twenty nine range and

655
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: whatever twenty five to twenty seven range there it.

656
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 3: Could get a pretty darn good season, which means you

657
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 3: had a.

658
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: Good season, you want a playoff game. You've got that

659
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: nest built up like we're talking about. Yeah, great, you

660
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: want to go get your quarterback. That's about what it's

661
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 2: going to cost too.

662
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 3: That's about the going right too.

663
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: First rounders in it, and little something sprinkled in a

664
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: little you know, probably a late day two pick something

665
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: like that.

666
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,479
Speaker 3: And as we've become too familiar with they pretty much

667
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 3: picked like twenty twenty first the last few years. That

668
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 3: would obviously be a lot cheaper. You could probably get

669
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 3: the seven or eight with that price.

670
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: With the same price, yes, but so again, though you

671
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 2: have the assets to do that now, but without needing

672
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: to go get a tackle right in the first round

673
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: of the draft.

674
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've put so much invested in the lines so

675
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 3: that they don't have those needs when it is quarterback time.

676
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: You don't want to reinvent a new need.

677
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: I think that is the perfect way to say it.

678
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: As a little bit better from Aaron Rodgers in some

679
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 2: of these reps that we just saw.

680
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely we should kind of ignore that as it.

681
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: Looked like before that I meant to point this out

682
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: to you too. Right before they started this portion of

683
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: team period, it looked like pat Freyremouth had some animated

684
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: words for the offense about how they need to pick

685
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 2: it up a little bit out there.

686
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 3: I noticed that as well, and Rogers did a little bit.

687
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: I didn't know if he was mad at himself or

688
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 3: if he was mad at the team. And it was

689
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 3: probably a little bit of pain. But that last period

690
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: when they were to our left, he wasn't thrilled with

691
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 3: what was going on out there, whether it was on

692
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,239
Speaker 3: him or whatever. But you know, and the offense has

693
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 3: been stumbling a little bit.

694
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: Yeah uh John new Smith. By the way, update from

695
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 2: Mike the FABO of the Athletics saying he's being categorized

696
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 2: as out with knee soreness in today's practice.

697
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 3: John, Yes, okay, yes, okay, just coming eighty across the timeline.

698
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 2: Here is man, I tell you what.

699
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 3: Through over Holcomb's head barely not many Titans League would

700
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 3: even reach that one. And he he hauled it in

701
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: basically with one hand, kind of bobbling it. But the

702
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 3: bobbling makes it sound like it was poor on him,

703
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 3: but it wasn't. It was controlling the ball. I mean, man,

704
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 3: He's I wonderful really, So.

705
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: I wonder what his over under for receptions on this

706
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: season is in Vegas right now? I know I might

707
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 2: be interested in an action.

708
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: We'll We've talked through that a lot, and I keep thinking, man,

709
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: I might have been a little light.

710
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: Three a game would get him fifty one targets on

711
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 2: the season.

712
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 3: I think he's three or four targets a game. I mean,

713
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: if if it wasn't for the John new Smith trade,

714
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: I might be like he's a five five you know. Yeah, yeah,

715
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: because they are definitely trying to feature him. They certainly are,

716
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: and a lot of its red zone and like you said,

717
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 3: a lot of its first down movers. But he's also

718
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: like stretching the scene.

719
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: Third and short scenario there in a tough run by

720
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 2: Caleb John A part of me Kenneth Gainwell to pick

721
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 2: up a few yards here as it looks like the

722
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: second team defense will slide out for some third teamers here.

723
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 3: As looks like that number two line, but not with Pete.

724
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, he is on the sideline. Yeah, you are correct.

725
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 3: He kind of shuffles in and out a little bit

726
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 3: different pace than the other lineman. Cooks the left house.

727
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, still looks like Cook Nester Sharp,

728
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: who's the right Jones is at right tackle, But I

729
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: can't tell who the right guard is as Connor Hayward

730
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 2: moves in motion. Here now Mason Rudolf will operate from

731
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: the shotgun with Tray Sermon to his right. Good job

732
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: by Sermon picking up the blitz. That gives Rudolph some

733
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 2: time to find Max Harliaman for a nice fifteen twelve

734
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: yard pick up there on third down.

735
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 3: Looks like Warren is is out there as well. Gareth Warren. Okay,

736
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 3: seventy eight, it is. He's getting a little bit of run.

737
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: Yep, it is seventy eight. You are correct. It's now Pete.

738
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 3: He's at right tackle.

739
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Pete, check him back in.

740
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 3: Now he's at left guard.

741
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: Checks out. See.

742
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what they're gonna do here. I assume

743
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 3: Warren will be tackle. I've only really seen him at tackle. Yeah,

744
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 3: he's at right tackle. Pete is at left guard. Cook,

745
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 3: I assume is a left tackle. Okay, yes, so Pete

746
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 3: has played left guard and left tackle. I'd love to

747
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 3: have a chat with Pat Myers right now the line.

748
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 3: You know, what, what's the logic between the shuffling and

749
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 3: who's standing out and what are you trying to work? Yeah? Yeah,

750
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 3: because it seems like it's a little bit up in

751
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: the air, which goes to left guard or the right guard,

752
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 3: you know, back and forth from trying to figure out

753
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: who can do what.

754
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then maybe that's what they're you know, that's

755
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: obviously what he's trying to figure out here as well too.

756
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: These are the situations or these are the times when

757
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 2: you want to work on those situations, I should say.

758
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 3: Because you don't want any of these guys starting now.

759
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 3: But it's like, well, who do I want to active

760
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 3: on game day in case this player goes down? And

761
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 3: this player goes down? You know, there's it turns out

762
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 3: like to choose your own adventure book on the old line,

763
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 3: you know, like I have to have an answer if

764
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 3: this guy goes down, then this guy goes down. Then

765
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: this guy goes down. Like if disaster strikes, who can

766
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 3: I play where? And at least get me out.

767
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: Of the game?

768
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 2: Who can I You know, that's like that was the

769
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 2: beauty of someone like Nate Herbig last year, right, was Yeah,

770
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 2: you knew he could play left guard, right guard, center. Right,

771
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 2: that's the kind of guy that you won on your

772
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 2: bench on game days. Cause huge, as you mentioned, not

773
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 2: just one guy who can fill one role, but what

774
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: if this happens, and this happens and we need you

775
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 2: to play here or maybe there? That is massive. That

776
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: is massive. Looks like we're moved to a special teams

777
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 2: period here. Now they can have a Ben Sol's attempt

778
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: to field goal to to close this and down. Looks

779
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: like Cam Johnston will be the holder. Ben Saws. By

780
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: the way, Matt the winner of the home run Derby

781
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: last night, the annual Yeah you.

782
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 3: Said, that would not have been my I would not

783
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 3: have put a chip down on him.

784
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 2: I would not have put a chipped out on a kicker.

785
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 2: But good for him.

786
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 3: I wonder maybe he's got a great baseball back.

787
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't either, but half Patrick.

788
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 3: Queen went it last year justin Fields Field Fields and

789
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: Wilson went down to the wire.

790
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 2: Fields and Wilson, but Queen was in the mix last

791
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 2: year to yeah, and then so it had been three

792
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: straight years of quarterbacks Becausekenny Pickett and won it for

793
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 2: two years in a row. Then justin Fields Ben Saals,

794
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 2: Now kicker Ben Saals comes in.

795
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 3: And that's a good trivia question to a year from now.

796
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: Who won the home run Derby last year?

797
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 3: That was a battle between the starting quarterbacks.

798
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 2: What maybe the pitt baseball team needs to borrow some

799
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 2: of these these guys from the pit football team between

800
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 2: Kenny and saw.

801
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got some.

802
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: Power hitters out there for the four hole for the

803

00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 2: camp for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Here Matt of course that

818
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: two year hiatus because of COVID right where it was

819
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,479
Speaker 2: at well now a cer Sure Stadium, men Hinz Field.

820
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 3: But you said it would have been sixty years straight.

821
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: It would have been sixty the sixtieth straight year if

822
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 2: if if it were not for COVID. But number fifty

823
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 2: eight here.

824
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 3: For five was their first year.

825
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 2: Sixty five was their first year. Yes, which I believe

826
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: is if we look at this thing right here, sixty.

827
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 3: Six sixty six, ok.

828
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so home of Steelers training camp, Saint Vincent College

829
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 2: since July of nineteen.

830
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 3: Well that makes sense. Yeah, six, that would be sixty years.

831
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: And as our guys pre yes, as as our guys

832
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 2: Tounching Wolf would always like to say, every single Super

833
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 2: Bowl the Steelers ever won started right here on these

834
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 2: these fields in.

835
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 3: Front of us. That's true.

836
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 2: Well she was always funny because I would joke with

837
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 2: Wolf like those two years that you know that they were.

838
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 2: I was like, you got you know, if the Steelers

839
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl, like, you won't be able to

840
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 2: use that use that line anymore. As a special teams period.

841
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 3: A lot of winning seasons, whole bunch of them, no

842
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 3: doubt about it.

843
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 2: Uh, as special teams period in the books here, and

844
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 2: it looks like, are we going to maybe get a

845
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 2: final team period.

846
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 3: To the left, they were doing that punt block drill

847
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 3: where they try to take it right off the punter's foot.

848
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 2: It looks like the offensive defensive line are going to

849
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 2: the far side fields. So this might be like a

850
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 2: skeleton or a seven on seven type dru.

851
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 3: I bet they're gonna do good one on one stuff

852
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 3: that I bet they are.

853
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 2: Let's see if we want I was gonna say, let's

854
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 2: see if we can at least get some of these

855
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 2: these first ones with some of the big name guys.

856
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 2: Logan Lee's right in the mix there, as is uh

857
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 2: t J Watt.

858
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 3: TJ is raving up for I.

859
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 2: Was gonna say, he wants, he wants one.

860
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 3: He's been busy this practice.

861
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: This I think has been his most I was just

862
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 2: gonna say it's been his active practice of camp, which

863
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 2: is probably making sense. You know, he's probably at the

864
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 2: time where he wants to start ramping it up. And

865
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 2: I imagine we'll get a lot of good work in

866
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: on on Thursday. I would think, yeah, as we will

867
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: have TJ there without they're without Tristan wurfs too, so

868
00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 2: they are. Yes, TJ and Faltan pretty good up there

869
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 2: by didot as well.

870
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 3: He J got in a little, but I mean I

871
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 3: would say it's a draw a.

872
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 2: Little bit, but yeah, it didn't take that all day long.

873
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 2: Would absolutely run it back. I think they are going

874
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 2: to run it back one more time. Here does TJ

875
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 2: get set? Here they go a good job again.

876
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 3: One long arm move and still got a little pressure.

877
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 3: But that's really well done by Fultona.

878
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 2: It certainly is. And he will check out and Stephen

879
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: Jones will check in. Is this against the Marvin Leone

880
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 2: now that he's gonna rip McCormick there, McCormick bent.

881
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't think that's Leal, but think it's Bent,

882
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: and I think it's Ben. Yeah, I think the Al's

883
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 3: only been playing on the edge las, especially since the

884
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 3: high smooth in.

885
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 2: You are correct in that one. Those two run it

886
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: back and hands definitely won that one.

887
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 3: Certainly. This wat Vers Fatanu thing kind of reminds me.

888
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 3: I know it didn't work out great for the first

889
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 3: round pick, but when they drafted Already Burns in the

890
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 3: first round, that camp was you guard Antonio Brown all

891
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 3: the time? Okay, okay, it didn't go great then, and

892
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 3: it didn't go great for already in his career, but

893
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 3: it's going a lot better for foul on him. So

894
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 3: that's a good example. Hey, first rounder, why don't you

895
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 3: guard Antonio Brown the whole time? The best in the world,

896
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 3: right right?

897
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 2: A good rep there by Zach Fraser is he will

898
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,439
Speaker 2: run it back. I'm trying to see who that is again.

899
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 2: They all got the crop top jerseys going on. A

900
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 2: couple of good reps there for Fraser and now he

901
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 2: will check out as now they will work the left side.

902
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 3: And I think loud Milk wears the cap. Yeah, the

903
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 3: Guardian cap, the Guardian cap. They're doing two for them

904
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 3: to Yeah, it looks like.

905
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 2: It looks like they're doing two for all these guys.

906
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Larramo's getting some attention here. It really is higher

907
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 3: up the pecking.

908
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 2: Order, better rep for him on the second time there.

909
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 3: He's definitely at that career crossroad here, although he was

910
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 3: on my list last year and they gave him a

911
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 3: one year deal that isn't binding though.

912
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: Looks like now it'll be herbig against Broderick by Progerck

913
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 2: to stay with him. Yeah, man, Progerick against a guy

914
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 2: like Herbig, who's as shifty as he is. That was impressive.

915
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 3: That's a really good get off upfield, and Broderick didn't

916
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 3: lose a step. He still pushed him past the pocket.

917
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Better better from Herbig on that one, but yeah,

918
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: still from Broderick.

919
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 3: So you'll take both both.

920
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 2: Of those reps absolutely as he could take.

921
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 3: He kind of got beat to his outside shoulder, but

922
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 3: it was pretty far upfield and he pushed to push

923
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 3: him off his mark a little bit. That's that's not

924
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 3: hard for the quarterback to deal with. I mean, if

925
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 3: you're gonna get beat that way, push him up field.

926
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 2: Let me step up in the pocket by second and

927
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 2: a half.

928
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 3: I mean you got think if you're that pass rush,

929
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 3: you gotta put you foot in the ground, turned totally around,

930
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 3: get back to the quarterback. That's a big budd to

931
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 3: pre thing. He was big at running past the pocket

932
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 3: before his last.

933
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 2: Year here, and that's man, that just it knocks you

934
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 2: off your mark and.

935
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 3: You get all you think you want.

936
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 2: But he really did that extra that extra second second

937
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: and a half is an eternity. Yes, you know, especially

938
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: for guys like Lamar Jackson all the other very talented

939
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that populate the a f C and the a

940
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 2: f C North. It's Mason Rudolph drops back slings one

941
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 2: to Robert Woods on the near side. Nice throw there,

942
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 2: absolutely covered by jan Thornhill able to close that one down.

943
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 2: And the edge rushers are well at least Leal is

944
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: down here on the near side field, as is Sawyer

945
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 2: and they are Cole hulkom So just to give them

946
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: a looks yep. Absolutely, as we've got a little little

947
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: seven on seven action in front of us here, a

948
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 2: little offense versus defense on the far side there as

949
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 2: uh Doug Nestor going up against. Is this Logan Leo.

950
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 3: Looks like he often operates out that four point stands.

951
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 2: He does, and that was actually sharping against.

952
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 3: Moving all over the interior.

953
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 2: He is, He certainly is. And again that's what trying

954
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 2: to figure out what these guys can do where they

955
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: can trust them.

956
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 3: So he's been in league seven years. I'm sure he

957
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 3: has plenty of experienced at all three of those spots.

958
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 3: But I know he's played a ton of center, but.

959
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 2: You know, better better rep there from Logan, ly I

960
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 2: think able to able to win that one.

961
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 3: I didn't know what to think of him playing very

962
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 3: few snaps in the the opener. Yeah, I know, if

963
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 3: that's because they like him and want to hide them,

964
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 3: or just one of the other guys to play, or

965
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 3: they're down on them, a lot of ways to take that.

966
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 2: I'm interested to see what that looks like for him

967
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 2: Saturday night against Tampa. But you're right, I was a

968
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: little surprised by that. I thought he was one of

969
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 2: those guys who you know, didn't get a ton.

970
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 3: Of work last season, right, and I thought he'd make

971
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 3: it a lot of snaps.

972
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I thought so too, And maybe that's still in

973
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 2: the in the plan. Maybe it was just, you know,

974
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 2: something that I.

975
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 3: Never would have looked too much into those things.

976
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, but they're also this time of year. It's like,

977
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: those are the things we had to talk about. Yeah,

978
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 2: I don't want to look too much into it.

979
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 3: I know it wasn't an accident for whatever. I don't

980
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: know the reason, but I know it wasn't an accident.

981
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 2: Is now, if you look over there, Faltanu and TJ

982
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 2: going through some TA moments off to the side, which

983
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 2: is pretty cool.

984
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 3: That is pretty cool.

985
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: That's a good guy to learn from. For Troy Foutanu.

986
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 2: I tell you you can hold your own against that guy,

987
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 2: you can hold your own against anybody. And that's pretty cool.

988
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 3: They've done a lot of battle this camp they have and.

989
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 2: They're, like I said, going over some stuff and TJ's

990
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 2: working on them with a couple of things. Pretty cool

991
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 2: to see. As we continue to roll on through this

992
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: period of practice, we'll see if maybe we get some

993
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 2: team stuff or what else will be going on here

994
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 2: to close this one down today, as we are heading

995
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 2: into what you think would be the final moments of

996
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 2: this final practice here at Saint Vincent College for this

997
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 2: portion of the Steelers twenty twenty five training camp.

998
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 3: One more hour on the air from Saint Venning's this year.

999
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 2: One more hour from campus before we all have to

1000
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 2: pack up and go back home and get back to

00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 2: We'll have some audio from him.

1004
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 3: I've been loving his interviews me too.

1005
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 2: He's he's he's very he's very thoughtful, like he's it's

1006
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 2: a good point. His his answers are are calculated, like yeah,

1007
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 2: he doesn't go up there to his interviews and give

1008
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 2: cookie cutter responses.

1009
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 3: Like a robot, not one bit.

1010
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 2: And and he's had a lot of a lot of

1011
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,759
