11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: of a special teams period going on as we move

12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: through practice here at Saint Vincent College, number three of

13
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: this twenty twenty five training camp for the Black and

14
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: the Gold. Weshooler and Matt Williamson with you here on

15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: the drive our final portion of your daily programming here

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: from campus. It's another hot day, a little special teams

17
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 3: action in front of us. Matt defense winning seven shots

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 3: four to three. That's what it ended up.

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 4: So there was one that was really hard to tell.

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, four to three, four to three to the offense,

21
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: and uh and yesterday part of me and then four

22
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: to three to the defense. Today According to Uh. The

23
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: result of that one, Connor Hayward won nice catch and everything,

24
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: but they said his feet were on the paints that one.

25
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: It was very close. There was some arguing both ways.

26
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: I think Mike Tomlin gets to make the final decision. Yeah,

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: and uh, and that one awarded to the defense, so uh.

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: Will Howard came in and and and found JJ gallbreath

29
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: to make it three to three. Then they put Rogers

30
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: and the first teamers back in and her Big batting

31
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: down a pass at the line of scrimmage to get

32
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: the defense. What Although we talked about this a little

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: bit yesterday, I didn't see anything fancy in the dining

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 3: room like offense one shot, so it must not be

35
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 3: every day. We kind of kicked that around a little

36
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: bit yesterday here, not.

37
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 4: To mention, you know, you're not going to run the

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: ball too, because it's not that's amazing.

39
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: I think that's when they start maybe that when that

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: that makes sense, make it a little more difficult on

41
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: the defense, or at least a little bit more unpredictable. Matt, yesterday,

42
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: at the end of the show, you and I said

43
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 3: that we were going to talk about a Steelers player.

44
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: Do you remember who that was no Peyton Wilson. The

45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: show yesterday we were like, we can talk a little

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: bit about Peyton Wilson. It's I just remembered that seeing

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: him out here during the during the special teams period

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: as now Corlis Weightman sends a nice booming punt down

49
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: the field here to Dante Kent back returning.

50
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 4: Now, he's kind of interesting too. He did a lot

51
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 4: of little things for you, like no. One's probably the

52
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 4: least talked about draft pick. I'm interested to watch him live.

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: I am too, because I think from what we've seen

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: out here, he's going to be a contributor on special teams.

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think he'll be a gunner immediately or at

56
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: least compete for it.

57
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

58
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: And and you know who knows, maybe.

59
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: Very very much so. And I know he's he's got

60
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 3: the you know, kind of the toolbox to be potentially

61
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: a successful Nickel type corner in this league, I think.

62
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: And so yeah, he'll be a fun one to watch,

63
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: especially when the.

64
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 4: Page's next year he shows up right every chance he

65
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 4: could do something.

66
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so too. But somebody who the Steelers

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: are counting on to do something this year certainly is

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 3: Peyton Wilson. Yeah, encouraging rookie season last year, Gonna take

69
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: another step up into that defense this year and be

70
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: Patrick Queen's running mate. What do you like about him?

71
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: What do you expect from him this year? What are

72
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: we thinking for Peyton Wilson.

73
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: So I am a Landon Roberts fan, don't get me wrong,

74
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna say some negative things about him, but

75
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: I think he has a throwback skill set and he's

76
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 4: been asked over during his Steelers career to do more

77
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 4: coverage than probably he or they wanted, you know, but

78
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: some of it was due to injuries, especially two years ago,

79
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: and he stepped up well. But he's a certain kind

80
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: of linebacker. I mean he's in between the ten ackles downhill,

81
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 4: you know, bang with Derrick Henry type run stuffer that

82
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 4: is kind of not to modern day player. So in

83
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 4: case people aren't realizing what they did with during Wilson's

84
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 4: rookie year, early down or nickel and dime, Wilson was

85
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 4: out there, you know, it doesn't matter down in distance.

86
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 4: When they were in multiple an extra defensive back, Wilson

87
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 4: was the passing down linebacker with Queen who never left

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 4: the field of course, injuries could change things, and Roberts

89
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: was the guy when you're in your true, true three

90
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 4: four and that worked pretty well fine. I think Wilson

91
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 4: and Queen will just be the linebackers period.

92
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 3: I think it'll be very rare that they again, health assumed.

93
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and side note, it's just something I want to

94
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 4: just kind of kick around and ask people. Might he

95
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: get the green dot this year?

96
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: I think he might.

97
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 4: I think he might. And this isn't I always have

98
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 4: to say this is like I think Patrick Queen's dumb,

99
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 4: and that's not what I'm saying at all. I just

100
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: thought he had a lot on his plate as a

101
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 4: first year Steeler getting everyone aligned because the way Queen

102
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 4: plays is so run and hit. I don't what I'm thinking.

103
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 4: Just fly and use your incredible stuff. Just you see

104
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 4: the ball, see ball, gigball. You know. I would love

105
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 4: to take something off his plate. And Wilson's very cerebral. Again,

106
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: not the Queen, isn't. I don't know what kind of

107
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 4: communicator either one of them are. That stuff's important, you know,

108
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 4: how well do you relay it to your teammates quick? Yet?

109
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: But now that he's an every down linebacker, I assume

110
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: Wilson in year two. He was always considered like the

111
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: captain oft NC State and all those things too, So

112
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: I wonder if he'll get that role. Another nerdy stat

113
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 4: And I didn't even realize this until I read it

114
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 4: a couple of days ago. The last like three years,

115
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: the Steelers defense has been right at the top league

116
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 4: three years in a row in terms of targets against

117
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: between the numbers. Teams throw over the middle against the Steelers.

118
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: Matt's stats.

119
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Matt's stats. It's in there. You'll see it in

120
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 4: the Jets packet, but usually in front of Minca. But

121
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 4: at the linebackers, right, And again I'm not disparaging Roberts.

122
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 4: He's bad in coverage.

123
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: He's modern day old school thumper, right.

124
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 4: I mean, if I'm Rogers in this drill and it's Roberts,

125
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 4: I'm looking at them. I mean, like, you know what

126
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like he's a target. And if you could

127
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 4: get a little more athletic, a little range, yer, a

128
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 4: little bit better in coverage between the numbers, and that's

129
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: mostly going to be linebackers, but it's also a defensive

130
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 4: back thing. Maybe teams won't attack you there as regularly.

131
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: You know, they'll just game plan for you differently. But

132
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: I'm excited about Wilson. I think when you look around

133
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 4: the league, he's a potential breakout linebacker as many as

134
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: any young guy out there, give or take.

135
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: You know, I think so too. And you'll laugh at this.

136
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: I think part of the reason why, and we met

137
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: Peyton Wilson yesterday. But like I've got a little on

138
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: my notes here, you'll laugh at this. I usually do this,

139
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: like starting around July fourth, you know, when when we're

140
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: staring training camp down, I have a little notes on

141
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: my phone and my computer where it's it's literally titled

142
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: random training camp topics, OK, And it'll be things that

143
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 3: pop into my mind throughout the summer that I'm like, hey,

144
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: when Motes and I are, when Matt and I something

145
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: to talk about, here's a good thing that we could

146
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: kick around for fifteen minutes. And one of the things

147
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: that I had on this contract, I said, who is

148
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: somebody on their rookie or on my notes here part

149
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: of me I said, who is somebody who is on

150
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: their rookie deal? Still that could become a star that

151
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: we haven't called a star yet. So basically I said no,

152
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: Zach Frazier, you know, because everyone everyone's and the number

153
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: one answer that I had was Peyton Wilson.

154
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 4: Okay, and really good one Guys.

155
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: That we haven't called a star yet who could become

156
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: a star.

157
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 4: My first pick is kind of cheating, would be Futonto.

158
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's really a very good one. I think

159
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: he's got a higher ceiling and I think he could

160
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 4: a really really good high end right tackle. We'll see.

161
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 4: I was super impressed with him pre injury watching him

162
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: here you can. You can focus on the first round picks.

163
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: I mean, Benton or not. Benton is a good one too,

164
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 4: but Derek Harmon. Harmon to me also could be that's

165
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 4: why you draft so high. Of course, you know I'm

166
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 4: cheating a little bit, but I think Wilson as a

167
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 4: non first rounder and like I'm not, I'm not saying contributes.

168
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 3: Maybe it makes a Pro Bowl or two. You know,

169
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: I think there's some some real upside there.

170
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 4: And expecting that the more I think it through it

171
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 4: right right, And.

172
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: And remember, if you rewind to this time of year ago,

173
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 3: he was the best lineback off ball linebacker in that class.

174
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: The only reason he lasted is because of some of

175
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 3: the injury concerns, yes, but okay, so maybe he doesn't

176
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 3: have as long of a career as some of those guys,

177
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,599
Speaker 3: but I think his ceiling for an off ball linebacker

178
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: is as bout as high potentially as as you know,

179
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 3: any any young guys. We see DK Metcalf almost making

180
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: a circle catch right on the sideline in front of

181
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: us with Joey Porter in coverage.

182
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: Great coverage right, great coverage there.

183
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think I think he's one of those

184
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: guys that you know, we could be sitting around Halloween saying, wow,

185
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: you know how great has he been this year?

186
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 4: Yep. So it was like year three of Devin Bush's career.

187
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 4: I did a deep study and it's even more the

188
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 4: case since then. It was a couple of years ago.

189
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 4: As people know, rookie and young Lions get abused so hard,

190
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 4: get abused. In this league. The game is so much different.

191
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 4: There's so many things crossing your face and different gaps

192
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: to take on. And the league, the Steiers made a

193
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 4: mistake drafting Bush, obviously, but the league there's a lot

194
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 4: of data now you do not use a first or

195
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 4: a premium pick on that position and expect immediate results,

196
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: and the Bush is a poster child for that. But

197
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 4: he's certainly not alone.

198
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: The Patrick willis Is and the Luke Keegleys that come

199
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: into the league with their hair on fire. That's so

200
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: that's two. And in the last you know, fifteen twenty

201
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: years that I.

202
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 4: Just named, right, and the Shanahan's of McVeigh just manipulate

203
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 4: their minds like crazy with motion and all kinds of stuff.

204
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 4: So every young linebacker, as much as any position, swims.

205
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 4: Ye're two. And he didn't look that out of place.

206
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 4: I mean, he didn't. He did not get manipulated all

207
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 4: that much. I mean, so I think he's well ahead

208
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 4: of the My point is he's well ahead of the

209
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 4: curve yea mentally and reactions and that type of thing.

210
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: You know.

211
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. And like I

212
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 3: even think of, you know, a guy like Rokwan Smith,

213
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: now you know, who's unanimously hailed is great, Like, yeah,

214
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: he had his struggles out of the Chicago do you know? Yeah,

215
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: And so that is like we talk about how hard

216
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: it is to come into the league as a quarterback,

217
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: you know, as a rookie. I think it's the same

218
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 3: conversation for off ball linebackers on the other side of

219
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: the ball. There as Mason Rudolph slinging one across the

220
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: middle of the field in front of us to Kenneth Gainwell,

221
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 3: there is We've got some team period action going on.

222
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 3: But that like that to me is you know, I

223
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: think in Foalton, who's good. Like we've talked about a

224
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: lot of the X factors for the offense, both the tackles,

225
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: you know, Broderick and Faltanu, everything with Aaron Rodgers and

226
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: the offense and who's your number two target behind DK

227
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: Metcalf and all that stuff, But you know, for the

228
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: for the defense, like I think Peyton Wilson has a

229
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: chance to be kind of that that breakout guy that

230
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of people are having that conversation,

231
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: right Yeah.

232
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: And I wanted to focus on that position group a

233
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: little bit too, because I know people were disappointed when

234
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 4: Roberts left, and I understand that he was a very

235
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 4: likable style to player and he was a good Steeler,

236
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 4: don't get me wrong, But Harrison, Malik Harrison is a

237
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 4: similar mold. He doesn't cover great either. He's a thumper.

238
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 4: He's a really thickly built dude, you do still play

239
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: the Ravens twice a year, and he is a former

240
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 4: Raven and understands that offense extremely well. But Dale really

241
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 4: laid this out when they signed Harrison. I was like, man,

242
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 4: I would have just kept Roberts. He's like, I get it.

243
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 4: But Harrison's a little cheaper. He's really going to be

244
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 4: your four now, not your two slash three behind. And

245
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 4: he's also Roberts and Matty kay Vich rolled into one

246
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: because he's a good He's a much better special teamer

247
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 4: than Roberts. So that move indicated to me, we like

248
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 4: Wilson to step up and take the reins. We don't

249
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 4: mind our thumper being our four as opposed to our

250
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: two and a half ish, which makes perfect sense to me.

251
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: And you add and you kill two birds with one

252
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: stone as a core special teamer that Roberts wasn't. And

253
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 4: you also didn't have Hulkam in the mix.

254
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: Correct.

255
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: Holcome to me, is not a star. I urge people

256
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 4: to look up his combine numbers though, Like he was

257
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 4: a really athletic tester. He was really starting to come

258
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 4: into his own in Washington. I liked what he did

259
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 4: here in Pittsburgh, Like I think they have three starting linebackers.

260
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 4: I agreed.

261
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, if if fifty five is healthy, I think he's

262
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 3: you know.

263
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: Secret, I think he's killing it. He's your obvious. If

264
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 4: Queen gets hurt, he's coming in from Queen. If Wilson

265
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 4: get hurt, he's coming in for him. And he probably

266
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 4: plays a few snaps anyway. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I don't

267
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 4: know how a hulkhm is on teams. I should, but

268
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 4: I don't. I'm sure he's going to be a contributor.

269
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like you mentioned two years ago, before he

270
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 3: picked up that that injury, I mean there was a

271
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 3: lot to like there.

272
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely right, there was.

273
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: There was there was a lot to like their very

274
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 3: serious injury, spent the year rehabit. And yeah again too,

275
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: like there hasn't been much conversation around that group.

276
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: You know, Patrick, Queen's strength of the team now I strength.

277
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: I do as well too. I do as well too,

278
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: because like you said, it's almost like if Cole Holcom

279
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: is like he looks healthy and back to one hundred percent,

280
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: it is almost like you have three starters at that position,

281
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 3: and and that can be a position where a lot

282
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 3: of teams would look a look at the Cleveland Browns.

283
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, uh, j Oka is injured and out

284
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 3: to start the year. Jordan Hicks just retired.

285
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 4: Retired, and they're gonna be the poster boy this year

286
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 4: of counting on a rookie eat Westinger, like the first

287
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 4: pick in the second round, you'll be the leader of

288
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 4: their defense and quarterback of their defense, and that's usually

289
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 4: doesn't go well. A couple of notes. Hulcombe is another one.

290
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 4: He was not a highly draft the guy. He was

291
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 4: a fifth round pick, but I mean it was a

292
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 4: He has some pedigree, but his early Washington days were

293
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 4: chicken with the head cutoff. I mean he flew around

294
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: the field, but often the wrong way, as these linebackers do.

295
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 4: But I think the Steelers got him at a point

296
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: in his career where he was starting.

297
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: Things were flowing, things were slowing down.

298
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: So who knows if we see it or not. I mean,

299
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 4: he is a little bit blocked here, and I don't

300
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 4: know if this will happen or not. But I could

301
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: also envision, especially against a team like the Ravens, maybe

302
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: all three are on the field once in a while,

303
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 4: like a true old school for three stack. You know,

304
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 4: maybe you can do some of that.

305
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so too against you know, a team

306
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: like the Ravens is a perfect example. I know they're

307
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 3: not on the schedule this year, but you know, maybe

308
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: if you were playing a team like the Philadelphia Eagles.

309
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

310
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: Once again, as we see a nice completion there between

311
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: Will Howard and Montana Lamonious Craig.

312
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: Well, okay, first I've heard that man, rookie.

313
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: Out of Arizona. Yeah, first that we've talked about him.

314
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: He so far in this process as the team period

315
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: ongoing in front of us. A little bit of a

316
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 3: threes out there now, but we've got the threes out

317
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 3: there now. Yes, a little bit of a cloud cover

318
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: here as well too, which I'm sure they are not

319
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: too not too upset about right now. See why did I.

320
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 4: Get hit with the storm leaving here yesterday?

321
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: Same?

322
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 4: It was one of the hardest rainstorm I've driven through

323
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 4: my life.

324
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 3: Right as I was walking to the car, I got

325
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: crush right and then had to drive home. Yeah, eighty

326
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: minutes in it. Yeah, that was that was not fun.

327
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: Got the first hour of where I was going was

328
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 4: just like three times. I mean it was all over

329
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: the place.

330
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, a high snap here. Will Howard able to corral

331
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: it though, and just gets rid of it. Nice job

332
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: by him to save that one. As uh. I'm not

333
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 3: sure who the center was with the threes there on

334
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: that one I didn't see. I was trying to see

335
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: it was not a column. I'm wondering if maybe it

336
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 3: was Nick Broker, the third year man out of Old

337
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: Miss not good. Second bad snapper today though, second bad

338
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: snap of the day today, And it looks like we're

339
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: gonna move into Is it gonna be another team period?

340
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: Here?

341
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: Are they gonna break off into?

342
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 4: It looks like you're in your one versus one.

343
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: I think we are gonna get some ones verse ones

344
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: here once again.

345
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 4: It might be so let's be the one d or not?

346
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 3: It looks like a kind of a mix up. Ye,

347
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: Cam and TJ veteran day today, So Cam and TJ

348
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: are both not dressed.

349
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 4: Should have probably probably opened the show earlier on.

350
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: But other than that, you got high Smith out there,

351
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: Ramsey's out there.

352
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 4: One note I saw while we were talking about something

353
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 4: else though, it was herbig in high Smith as the

354
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 4: two outside linebacker edge players and high Smith came off

355
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: the left side, off the quarterback's right side. I would

356
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 4: have thought that that would have been the other way around.

357
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 4: Like right now, Herbing and high Smith are out there.

358
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: High Smith is traditional right outside linebacker spot, Herbig's on

359
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: the left. But I hope that means we're gonna see

360
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 4: more Watt moving around.

361
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: I am cautiously optimistic that that's going to be the

362
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 3: case as well. Handoff here to Jalen Warren. He took

363
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 3: a nice little bum that was. But you know what

364
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 3: it's it's welcome back to football Saturday here, Matt. It

365
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 3: doesn't mean we have to play Patty cake there. Yeah,

366
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: he's he's tough. If anybody can handle it, it's Jalen Warren,

367
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: oh Man as uh as Yes. So the offense is

368
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: now starting about their own twenty five yard line, so

369
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 3: like a you know, like a touchback in a new drive. Here,

370
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 3: first team defense minus Cam and TJ still out there,

371
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 3: her Big in uh and then you also have Dean

372
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: Lowry is out there along the defensive line right now

373
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: as well. Two with Harmon and Benton and True three

374
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: four true yep, True three four one Thornhill and Deshaun

375
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 3: Elliott playing off the ball. Jalen Ramsey line up on

376
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 3: DK metcalf and the boundary. Maybe we'll get some some

377
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 3: fireworks here. Rogers under center, he fakes the hand off

378
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 3: and he's look down feeling that one a little too

379
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: high for DK Metcalf.

380
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 4: But again, no pad has been.

381
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 3: But he's disrupted.

382
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,479
Speaker 4: The pass rush has been better than the pass protection

383
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: and today is no different. But that shouldn't shock anybody. Yeah,

384
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 4: I mean it's that is the strength of the team.

385
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: Is the Steelers front?

386
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, absolutely, Just to worry about the other side

387
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 3: at least it better be the strength of the Steelers team. Right, Yeah,

388
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: let's see here. Offense still got the ones in there,

389
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 3: So we're gonna hang as long as as long as

390
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 3: the ones are in there before we go to a

391
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 3: break here, this would be we got Ben Schronic, I

392
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 3: believe in motion now is Aaron Rodgers barks some some

393
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 3: signals around Jalen Ramsey moving and barking in the secondary

394
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 3: quick pass out to the right to DK Metcalf, and

395
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: he just kind of puts on the gallop. I could

396
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 3: catch him.

397
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 4: I think you want to show the fans he's cable.

398
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 3: He sure did, and and Joey Porter was there to

399
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 3: kind of, you know, push him out of bounds. If

400
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 3: it was a real life situation, but Adam or something. Yeah, right,

401
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 3: but he kind of, you know, kind of eased off

402
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: and then.

403
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 4: D long speed.

404
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: It's it's you don't see many guys that size. It's

405
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: like we talked about yesterday, you don't see many guys

406
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: who can move like that.

407
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 4: No, at that size, that size and his physicality. So,

408
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, even before, we have a mismatch of

409
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 4: ones and twos, and Ramsey was out for that play.

410
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 4: Eccles came in opposite Porter, So I mean like he's

411
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 4: an easy guy to forget, Yeah, especially after the Ramsey trade,

412
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 4: which absolutely doesn't help his chances of playing time. But

413
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 4: he's gonna make this team. He's got a special team background.

414
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 4: He could play inside, he could play out. They could

415
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 4: have used him last year, you know what I mean. Yea,

416
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 4: and good depth as well. So he's kind of an

417
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 4: underrated pickup that didn't cost him an armor leg.

418
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: Final looks like final rep for Aaron Rodgers, a handoff

419
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 3: to Caleb Johnson that they bounce outside for a few

420
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 3: yards and the number twos will come in on offense

421
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 3: as most of the first team looks like all the

422
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: first team defense has now exited as well too. We're

423
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 3: gonna take break here, will continue.

424
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 4: To keep Sawyer's thirty three.

425
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 3: That's yeah, number thirty three, Today's Jack Sawyer, Modern day Warrior,

426
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 3: Modern day Warrior. I'm excited to watch that guy once

427
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 3: the pads go on.

428
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: Yeah data, All.

429
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 3: Right, one snap here with Mason Rudolph. He is in

430
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 3: the gun now barking out some signals and he will

431
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: take the snap. He will give it to Kenneth Gainwell,

432
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 3: who will find a nice hole there. That would have

433
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 3: been a nice game if they were if they were

434
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: live tackling to the ground. All right, let's go to

435
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 3: a break here. When we come back, we'll continue to

436
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,679

454
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: about doing all these training camp shows. And I think

455
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 3: when we do things like you know, the Combine and

456
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: stuff like that as well too. We kind of bounce

457
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 3: back and forth between analysis and topics and timely things

458
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 3: and then some kind of behind the scenes stories and

459
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,840

460
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 3: give everybody, you know, how the sausage is made. There's

461
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: public address announcements that have to be done throughout practice,

462
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,320

Speaker 3: he's out here doing his morning show. But then OK, yeah,

468
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 3: but then he's then he's back to do Pirates responsibilities

469
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 3: in the evening. So they've had me doing the public

470
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 3: address announcements, but I'm also on air with you for

471

Speaker 3: you know, fifteen twenty minutes at a.

472
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 4: Time to break you in the booth next door.

473
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 3: And so, but there's been a couple of times here

474
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 3: that my phone's been blowing up with different people on

475
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 3: the Steelers pr staff, Angela and Macaiah and all the

476
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: great team there, and they're like, can you please make

Speaker 3: announcement now? Can you please make announcement now? And I'm like,

478
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 3: we just got five minutes into a segment.

479
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 4: Like so, I'm right, they don't care you're on the air.

480
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 3: You're laughing at me because I'm trying to do double

481
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 3: duty of hosting a show and being the public address

482
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 3: guy here at Chuck Nolefield. And you said you've got

483
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 3: a good one of the announcements.

484
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 4: You also said opticle today too, because coach Tomlin and

485
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 4: Joey Porter Senior were also on the mic, and you're

486
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 4: not gonna like fall them or jump in front of

487
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 4: them or whatever. So you're getting one of the harder

488
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 4: days to be the substitute teacher for rob. Yes, so

489
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 4: what is the I know what it is, but what

490
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 4: is the public service announced?

491
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: The public service announcement is that you are not allowed

492
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 3: to film during team period, not from your cell phone,

493
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: not from extended cameras. You know, once they go into

494
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 3: team period, there is no filming allowed.

495
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 4: And I think you're I half hear it from here,

496
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 4: is like, because we don't want to give anyone a

497
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 4: competitive advantage, you don't show formations and plays and send

498
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 4: them to the raven. It's basically the gist of it.

499
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 4: Best of luck. I mean, everyone in the world got

500
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 4: their phone up in video and and stuff. I don't

501
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 4: know how they even.

502
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 3: Video those cameras to consume one hundred yards away and

503
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 3: make it seem like you're standing right there, yeah, on

504
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: your cell phone.

505
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 4: So I'm sure there's somebody I'm assuming that you're not

506
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 4: the only police on this matter. I'm sure somebody's roaming around.

507
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 4: There's a killer employee saying hey, dude, don't do this

508
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 4: now or whatever.

509
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 3: Yep.

510
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 4: So my story is one hundred years ago, I got

511
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 4: my driver's license at sixteen years old, like most people,

512
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 4: and that would be nineteen eighty nine. I was born

513
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 4: in seventy three, so yeah, and very shortly after I

514
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: would come from the South Hills to here, you know,

515
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 4: by myself, sure, not like daddy taking you to camp

516
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 4: as a little kid. I'm like, yeah, it's like, mom,

517
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 4: I'm leaving for the day, going, you know, no cell

518
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 4: phones back then, of course, no cell phones, no, right,

519
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 4: right right, yeah, no one's video and anything. You know.

520
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 4: I think I printed out directions and I'm I'm taking

521
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 4: the car, Mom, I need the car for five hours

522
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 4: or whatever. You're cool with that, sure, you know, And

523
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 4: i'd probably come up those two summers, I would say,

524
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 4: before I went to college, I probably came up five times,

525
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 4: you know, over the three week stretch or whatever, several

526
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 4: times a week, sure, by myself. Sit on the hillside

527
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 4: like a total nerd with binoculars and a notepad yep,

528
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 4: you know, old three ring binder like a spiral notebook

529
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 4: and two pens in case my pen wrote down. And

530
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 4: I'm just drotting down notes and formations. You still tho,

531
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,719
Speaker 4: I don't know. There's some stuff in my attic like

532
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 4: we were actually burn Louting and I were chatting about it.

533
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 4: Larry Fitzgerald, Heisman candidacy. I still have the CD that

534
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 4: we sent to New York in the packet and somewhere

535
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 4: in my attic or maybe it's next to them. But

536
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 4: more than once someone from the Steelers organization would tap

537
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 4: me on the shoulder, even as a sixteen seventeen year old,

538
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 4: like you're the only one here with the notepad and

539
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 4: like shotting down the plays and all this stuff because

540
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 4: you couldn't get them back there, you know, like you

541
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 4: to do the hard work, Like who do you work for?

542
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm just here for fun. I'm I'm here

543
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 4: for fun and trying to learn something. Then they're like, okay,

544
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 4: they kind of looked at me like with this belief

545
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 4: like you're a nerd dude, get out of here.

546
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 3: That's a great story.

547
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 4: Yeah you're giving that. And I'm like they didn't say

548
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 4: those back then, but somebody kind of reprimanded me back

549
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 4: in the day.

550
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 3: Oh that's hilarious, and like I get it from their

551
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: staying I looked young.

552
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 4: To be working for or some other team. Yeah sure,

553
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 4: but sure, you know he's sitting there alone with a notepad, you.

554
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 3: Know, hey, but that's also like, and I get it.

555
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 3: I understand they're doing their jobs. I understand that that

556
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 3: stuff really does happen. But it's also like, when you're

557
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: in an environment like this.

558
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 4: Something's gonna end up on Twitter. I mean, like, what

559
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 4: were we talking about.

560
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: Right, especially in today's day and age, because again, you

561
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 3: can be all the way up on one of these hills,

562
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 3: but you can zoom in and it's like you're right

563
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 3: there standing on the sideline with the cameras.

564
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 4: That everybody has in their pocket has in.

565
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 3: Their pocket now, So yeah, question for you, because.

566
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 4: You're younger than me and you're way more technically savvy,

567
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 4: do you think one all some of these teams go

568
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 4: looking for that stuff on the internet for opponents, I

569
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 4: would think, do you think that?

570
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's twenty twenty five, they everything, as you

571
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 3: and I discuss all the time, maybe the first couple

572
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 3: of weeks of the season, you can hide some stuff,

573
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 3: but yeah, yeah, but by the time we get into October,

574
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: everything is out there.

575
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 4: I mean you can buy all twenty two tape now,

576
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 4: anybody can buy all right, right, yeah, I mean like

577
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 4: there's no nothing hidden in preseason I know, right, I

578
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 4: don't know the Jets just because they're the first opponent.

579
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 4: Do you think they're doing everything they can to get

580
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 4: video from people in the seats? Is there somebody in

581
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 4: their video department just scanning things? Like you might be

582
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 4: interested in this.

583
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 3: Part of me thinks kind of the old like, hey,

584
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying, right, I don't know.

585
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. But at the same time, how much

586
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 3: are you going to deduce from this either?

587
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 4: That's my point too, Like what am I really going

588
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 4: to get out of it? One play a game where

589
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 4: you think, oh, look they practiced a flea flicker in July.

590
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna say, you know what I mean? Like,

591
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 3: remember the stuff with Kendrick Green a couple of years ago.

592
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 4: At Everyone was freaking that and.

593
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: We never saw it in stage, never say make the team.

594
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 3: There's there's been times where they did like flea flicker, trickeration,

595
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 3: jet sweep type stuff with Connor Howard. We never we've never, never,

596
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: never seen it, you know what I mean? So like

597
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 3: and that stuff is all over Twitter when it happens.

598
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 4: Absolutely all over Twitter when it happens. We've talked about

599
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 4: making the sausage and pulling back the curtain. There's been

600
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 4: several occasions where Dale will say to me on a

601
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 4: Friday or whatever during the season, because he's been in

602
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 4: every practice and.

603
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 3: He's super retaining, right, he grinds away.

604
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 4: He might be like, don't be shocked they run a

605
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 4: reverse this week. Okay, you know what I mean that

606
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 4: would be I mean that's different. I mean practice. You're

607
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 4: being a practice erect. Yes, they've ran this play five times. Yeah,

608
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 4: they're planning on something. Maybe the situation never comes up, sure,

609
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 4: but that's valuable information. If they run a reverse out

610
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 4: here in late July. I don't think the Jets are like,

611
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 4: we better spend an extra fifteen minutes reverse.

612
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 3: Correct And Like one of the things that I laugh

613
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: about that every year during this time, Motes gives me

614
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 3: gree four is like I'll always say the end of

615
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: training camp, and he's always like, wait a second. He's like,

616
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: just because they leave the trope campaign over, right, He's like,

617
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: you always say training camp. He's like, training camp is

618
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 3: not over. It's just the public portion is over.

619
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 4: It's over for me and you, it's over for us,

620
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 4: it's over for the.

621
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 3: Saint Vincent portions.

622
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 4: Of us are living in dorms anymore.

623
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 3: Not for these guys. So I would think that if you've.

624
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 4: I would think final cuts is the end of training camp.

625
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 3: You've got exactly right, and then you've got some buffer

626
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: time there to work on some of that.

627
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: Special special stuffs, like you're ready for the Jets, you know, right,

628
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 4: exactly right, while you're still doing preseason stuff or whatever.

629
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: Right if I'm kind of you know again, we're trying

630
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: to peel behind the curtain and a little inside baseball,

631
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 3: if you will, to use an old reference there, uh

632
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 3: as as uh yeah, as we're laughing about the double

633
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: duties that I'm pulling out here today and having some

634
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 3: fun in the process. Are we going to get some

635
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: I'm trying to Are we gonna get some one on

636
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 3: ones between some receivers and d.

637
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 4: Beating that idea? And that's some speculating.

638
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 3: We're once again, Matt, how the sausage is made at

639
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 3: that point in the segment where I'm like, I could

640
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 3: take a break, or we could take this a few

641
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 3: minutes longer. If there's about to be something, this is.

642
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 4: Going to be good, I think so to all the

643
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 4: big dogs, all.

644
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: The big dogs, are standing in front of us here now,

645
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: and we are getting again to probably the final you know,

646
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 3: twenty minutes or so of practice here, fifteen minutes of practice,

647
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 3: I would imagine. And so maybe Mike Tom wants to

648
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 3: put on a little bit of a show here if.

649
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 4: It should be seven on seven or if it's gonna

650
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 4: be one on one.

651
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's exactly right. But we're gonna find out here

652
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 3: in just a minute. Arthur Smith's down there with a call.

653
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 4: Sheet talking his offense. I think you stay, yeah, we

654
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 4: should do.

655
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: I think we should stay all right, let's let's stay here.

656
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 4: If we went to break, we should have done three

657
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 4: minutes ago.

658
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 3: Exactly about it, exactly right, exactly right, Let's stay here.

659
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 3: We got plenty of time too. We got another hour

660
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: after this, so we can massage our breaks a little bit.

661
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, you've got Justin knows what he's doing back there.

662
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 3: He sure does. He's a pro. You got most a

663
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of the first team offense.

664
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 4: Uh balling around, really a lot of.

665
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 3: You know, quarterbacks and wide receivers and then linebackers and

666
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 3: DB's and now they're starting to break up a little

667
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 3: bit here. So I do think we're going to have

668
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's gonna be seven on seven.

669
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 4: It looks like it way the defense and you look

670
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 4: right now.

671
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 3: Is going to say the offense is huddled up with

672
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 3: seven guys. Yeah, there we go. This will be fun here,

673
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 3: Joey Porter Junior, Jalen Ramsey, everyone that you expect out

674
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: there for the defense. Aaron Rodgers under center. It looks

675
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 3: like Brandon Eckles is is gonna be one of the

676
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 3: other boundary corners here on the far side. Matt Queens

677
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 3: off today.

678
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 4: I have not noticed.

679
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 3: I didn't seen him either. I didn't see like because

680
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 3: I saw you know again, like I don't know if

681
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: it was PURSUITA or whoever saying that Hayward and TJ

682
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 3: were having a day off. But I have not seen

683
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 3: Slay yet.

684
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 4: That's why I think Eccles has gotten a little bump

685
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 4: in terms of just playing time.

686
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 3: He's on DK Metcalf here on the first rep and

687
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers looks over the medal to Kenneth Gainwell short

688
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 3: gain there.

689
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 4: But Deshaun Elliott was all, I say, nice close by

690
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 4: two five.

691
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 3: He is He's fun to watch, Yes he is.

692
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 4: I'm really happy they extended him too.

693
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he was one of the more underrated

694
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 3: Steelers last season.

695
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 4: So just you mentioned the three corners that were out there, Porter, Ramsey, Eccles.

696
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 4: Now if it wasn't Eccles, it was Slay, this wouldn't

697
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 4: surprise me one bit and I wouldn't even bring it

698
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 4: up that Porter, of course, was an outside guy and

699
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 4: Eccles was an outside guy, and Ramsey was a slot

700
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 4: where Eccles can do both, Ramsey could do both. I

701
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 4: was just curious when it comes down to slot versus

702
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 4: not Ramsey versus Eccles, who would it be. But then

703
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 4: on this play, Ramsey's outside the numbers, you know.

704
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: Like boundary covert shows me that he's.

705
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 4: Going to do so many things here by the way, Ramsey,

706
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 4: But I also think that they're happy with Eccles too.

707
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 4: He can leave it line up outside. I mean it's

708
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 4: not your first option, but you can line up outside.

709
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: John who Smith is an action today?

710
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 4: Matt, Yeah, nice reception and burst there athlete.

711
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he moves. He moves well for his size.

712
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 4: He really does.

713
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 3: He's gonna be He's gonna be a lot of fun

714
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 3: to walk. But it is funny, Like I say, for

715
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 3: his size and you look at him, but then when

716
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 3: he's walking up next to Darnell Washington, like, oh, he's

717
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 3: like a wide receiver, Darnell Washington, but you.

718
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 4: Compare him to the wide receivers.

719
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 3: All right, boy, there's.

720
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 4: So much positionless football.

721
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 3: Steelers, you know what I mean?

722
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 4: Like and that's that's Ramsey, that's John Hue. Like that

723
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 4: that trade to me the screen positionless football totally.

724
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: Uh. Still Aaron Rodgers under center here, He's got mouth

725
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 3: and metcalf to one side, John hu and Calvin Austin

726
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,719
Speaker 3: to the other. Still the ones in the secondary on defense,

727
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 3: Kenneth gain Well sidecar left of Aaron Rodgers is john

728
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 3: Us Smith moves in motion. Aaron Rodgers back, Aaron Rodgers

729
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 3: looking he's gonna scramble, Laft loading it up downfield, Calvin

730
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: Austin off his fingertips and Brandon Eckles closing on that

731
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 3: one quickly.

732
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: That was down. They were well covered.

733
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: Laing the down well covered. That was a dart there

734
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: by Aaron.

735
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 4: That was a nice especially for a guy rolling left.

736
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 3: My goodness, it's just it's effortless like.

737
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 4: It smashed off it. I mean, Austin should catch everything

738
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 4: but that's that ball was homing.

739
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 3: It's just it's absolutely effortless. As long as Aaron Rodgers

740
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 3: and the first teamers are out here, will stay and

741
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 3: bring you a couple more of these reps. And I

742
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 3: think this might be the final period of practice. Maybe

743
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: one more.

744
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 4: After this, because it seems like it should be getting this.

745
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: Could be trips to the right, Kenneth Gainwell still in

746
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 3: the backfield, to the left, pat Freyermouth gonna move now

747
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: in motion.

748
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 4: He's the only tight end.

749
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: He's the only tight end. Rogers has a snap, he's

750
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 3: looking left. He will go left, throwing there and completed

751
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 3: to Scottie Miller, who's able to find a pocket in

752
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 3: between echoles. And it looks like now we've got the

753
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 3: second team heading out onto the field. Will continue to

754
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 3: keep you updated on what they've going on, but we

755
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 3: are overdue for a break. We'll come back wrap up

756
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 3: practice on the other side. Get ready for the final

770
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: We've got about ninety seconds left in this team period here.

771
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: I have a feeling this could be the last one,

772
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 3: as we are approaching two hours here on practice. First

773
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 3: practice Matt was about ninety minutes long on Thursday. Yeah,

774
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 3: yesterday was scheduled to be one hundred minutes long, but

775
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 3: was cut a little bit short. Today closer to two

776
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 3: hours again, all part of that ramp up period, all

777
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 3: part of you know, and there's a lot of heat

778
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,839
Speaker 3: out here and getting acclimated.

779
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 4: I think they also knew they'd be highly highly attended

780
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 4: as well.

781
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 3: And all those different things. As Dante Kent picks off

782
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 3: Tristan Thompson there, as we continue to see him. Got

783
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 3: an eye on that good making some good play. I

784
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: tell you what. So yesterday, right, he's yesterday we kind

785
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 3: of talked about JJ gallbreath right and how he might

786
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 3: be one of the DFA guys that we're talking about

787
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 3: his name a little bit. You know, I think that

788
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 3: there's a I think there's a chance a Dante hit now.

789
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 3: I know he's not a UDFA guy.

790
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 4: Seventh round pick, seventh round pick, rookie in the spotlight.

791
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 3: You know, we've seen him getting a lot of spin

792
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 3: on special teams now making a play out here.

793
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 4: Like we mentioned with Eckles, I think was Slay not

794
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 4: being around it. Everyone gets a little bit more action too, you.

795
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 3: Know, absolutely absolutely, as Will Howard going to get.

796
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 4: I meant to say this earlier too. These veteran day

797
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 4: days off folks are super common all the way across

798
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 4: the league. It's not like, oh they're soft Cam Hayward's

799
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 4: on out there. I mean, no, see them all. Who

800
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 4: will get a bunch of them? Watt's going to get

801
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 4: a bunch. I'm sure Slay will, right, And it's want

802
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 4: out Ramsey and Metcalf and those guys. But it's not uncommon.

803
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 3: I don't need to see Cam Hayward in July. No,

804
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 3: I want to see Cam Hayward in December, right against

805
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens. Absolutely, you know, I want to see

806
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 3: him in Janey, in a in a in a playoff game.

807
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 4: And the other thing is, as as we just mentioned,

808
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 4: is it gives the young guys more reps too, which

809
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 4: is a better way to evaluate the who's making the team.

810
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 3: And you know, do you think, okay, so here that

811
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 3: this is just just popped in my head, like, do

812
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 3: you think throughout this process, at any point we'll see

813
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers get a veteran's day off.

814
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 4: Ben did, but he wasn't.

815
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 3: First year with a new team, right, you know what

816
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,479
Speaker 3: I mean, like Ross he Calf.

817
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 4: It was a little bit.

818
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It's tough to tell. I'm just you know,

819
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 3: because obviously it was Aaron Rodgers' second year, he would

820
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: be getting off.

821
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure he did in Green Bay, no doubt.

822
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 4: I would bet he did. Probably with the Jets, maybe maybe.

823
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 4: I mean, if he has the slightest twinge, right, you know,

824
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 4: like my arm's a little sword today, you know, it looks

825
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 4: like I don't know, it looks like, and he's still

826
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: so new to the team. I'm sure he doesn't know

827
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 4: the playbook back and forth thing.

828
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 3: Right, and he probably doesn't want one. But I'm thinking,

829
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 3: you know, maybe after the starts hired, maybe after the

830
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: first Preseas game. You know, you have a question, you

831
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 3: three or four practices, Maybe he takes one of those,

832
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 3: you know, maybe like before the joint practice with the

833
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 3: Bucks or something. You give them some time to rest

834
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 3: and then you get them heavily involved in those joint practices,

835
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be.

836
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 4: If you were to put a bet in Vegas down

837
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 4: for any episode of The Drive from Latrobe, will Rogers

838
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 4: have a veteran day off, I'm gonna say it's about

839
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 4: fifty fifty odds.

840
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 3: I would say the over under would be half a practice,

841
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? It would, yeah, half a practice.

842
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 3: I agree.

843
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 4: If it was one and a half, I would go

844
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 4: under it.

845
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 3: And it might be like we were we were just

846
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 3: joking earlier about you know, like motes saying the public

847
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: the Saint Vincent trade.

848
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yes, while we're here, right, it's a good call.

849
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 4: That's a good call versus ones. By the way, it's

850
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 4: starting to happen that.

851
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 3: Is a that is a good call by you. And

852
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 3: it looks like Spencer Anderson will call in after practice.

853
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 4: Interesting look at seventy eight playing defensive end. Why you're black.

854
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 3: That's a big man.

855
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 4: He's not just a nose here. And on draft day

856
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 4: we sat down with her defensive line coach and he said,

857
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 4: we're calling him more of an end than a nose

858
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 4: despite him being a gigantic human being now and I

859
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 4: didn't really believe them.

860
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 3: Nice pick Jalen Ramsey's sky in there in front of

861
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 3: John new Smith and intercepted Aaron Rodgers about that. That

862
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 3: was vintage Jalen.

863
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: Right.

864
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 4: He's pretty good too, man.

865
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 3: I tell you what he he he is. He's he's

866
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 3: like a presence out there.

867
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 4: I mean, oh you feel him, Yeah.

868
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 3: You feel him out there at him and Deshaun.

869
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 4: And I think he talks and he has extreme confidence

870
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 4: and he is a highly highly competitive dude.

871
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 3: He sure is. And you can see he's had a

872
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 3: lot of success in his career doing so. Super Bowl champion,

873
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 3: one of the best of his era.

874
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 4: Got the tow hang and he's got the tow hanging,

875
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 4: the all the all black sleeves, the white leg stands out.

876
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,959
Speaker 3: He she certainly does. He certainly does. He looks the part.

877
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 3: As we're continuing to get some one on ones here.

878
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 4: Top top five draft pick corners that going in the

879
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 4: top five have a different look about them. Yes, athletically inside, Yes.

880
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 3: They they absolutely do. Aaron Rodgers with Jaalen Warren to

881
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 3: his right, he will hand off the Jalen Warren. That

882
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 3: one sniffed out very nicely there by. Derek Harmon once again.

883
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 4: Plays I always hesitate to say that about lineman and stuff.

884
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 4: I'm a little scrum here too. The defense is not happy.

885
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 3: With wait until the pads go on.

886
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 4: I think that was Queen Patrick.

887
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 3: Patrick Queen was was was getting Washington somebody's face there. Yeah,

888
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 3: I think Washington was a little peeved. Maybe Mason McCormick

889
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 3: there as well too, as her.

890
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 4: Big Will again to harm he pretty happy with what

891
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 4: I've seen.

892
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 3: Let's just say that absolutely, absolutely and again we want

893
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 3: to see the pads go everything. Everything's still grain of salt.

894
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 3: But I think I said this yesterday, say it again

895
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 3: like he he is. He feels like he's primed for

896
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 3: a for a very successful rookie season. Yeah, absolutely, Big

897
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 3: Darnell Washington in motion. Aaron Rodgers has got some time

898
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: now he throws that one for Calvin Austin and that's

899
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 3: his second drop of the day here today. And again

900
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 3: this is you know, this is part of the process.

901
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 3: Like we've seen some bad snaps from Fraser, We've seen

902
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 3: some bad throws from Aaron Rodgers. We've seen some drops

903
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 3: right rush even like you mentioned, Cam Johnson shanked one

904
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 3: of the punts right when he was trying.

905
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 4: Guys are trying to tell Austin his body language he

906
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 4: is not happy. He's got his head down and.

907
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey he hasn't had his best day. But that's

908
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 3: that is going to happen throughout. This process is practice.

909
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: It is practice, everybody. There's very few people out here,

910
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 3: you know, the Antonio Browns who would come out here

911
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 3: and put on a show every single day. Are are

912
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 3: the few, the few and far between. Certainly Aaron Rodgers

913
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 3: still in now under center as he takes the snap,

914
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,439
Speaker 3: and we'll hand this one to Caleb Johnson and once again,

915
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 3: quick penetration in the backfield, that time from Dean Lowry

916
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 3: as the defensive line doing a doing a strong job here.

917
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 3: An Now we got enough some more pushing and shoving

918
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 3: going on on the far side.

919
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 4: Is not happy losing these battles.

920
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 3: I think you might be right.

921
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 4: It's a hunch that's them instigating things because they're losing.

922
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 3: And then Roderick Jones and Cool hulcome tap each other

923
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,959
Speaker 3: on the helmet out of there, and Pat Fryer Moose

924
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 3: having some fun messing around with Joey Porter pretend fighting

925
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: on the other side.

926
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 4: I think it was it's hot and it's been a

927
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 4: long practice.

928
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 3: Look like j Thomas Jones was getting in somebody's face there,

929
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 3: you know, the rookie, and I think maybe Jack Sawyer

930
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 3: was saying, hey, buddy, you know the tone it tone

931
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 3: it down a little bit there, But it's practice. It's hot.

932
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 3: These guys are competitors. This stuff happens everywhere, and it

933
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 3: hasn't been like there haven't been. I wouldn't call them brawls.

934
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 4: There's no one swinging at each other face.

935
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 3: After the snap.

936
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 4: So this is something I talk about every OTA session too.

937
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 4: Is especially the new well really just the new guys,

938
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 4: young guys, not slay In Metcalf and those guys. You

939
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 4: have to learn how to practice. At the Steelers NFL

940
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 4: tempo to you know, like, Okay, this practice is gonna

941
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 4: be different than a fully pad one, and it's different

942
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 4: than OTA ones. And yeah, I'm an undrafted free agent.

943
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 4: I'm trying to make the team, but I don't want

944
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 4: to go eighty percent, you know what I mean. Like

945
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 4: it's a fine line, but you can't be diving in

946
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 4: people's knees. I mean there's a tempo to it in

947
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 4: a gentleman's agreement too, And that's hard when you're the

948
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 4: low guy on the totem poll too, or maybe in

949
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 4: your name right, right, Yeah, this isn't how we did

950
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 4: it at Oklahoma or whatever, you know, right.

951
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 3: Like Max was talking about that, he was like, when

952
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 3: I was a young guy, He's like, I knew if

953
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 3: I was going up against a rep on Casey Hampton,

954
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 3: what I was gonna get. You know, it's Casey Hampton,

955
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 3: he's gonna go about seventy percent. Sure, He's like, but

956
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 3: if it was Chris Hoak, I knew I better be

957
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 3: ready because Chris Hoak is coming one hundred and twenty

958
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 3: miles an hour every single rep.

959
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 4: He doesn't.

960
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, so it is it is funny how

961
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 3: all those nuances play themselves out in front of us.

962
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 3: I do believe now this is the final period of practice.

963
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 3: This is team Yeah, we're a little under five minutes

964
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 3: left here according to the clock, and at the end

965
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 3: of practice, Spencer Anderson is going to be calling today,

966
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 3: so I want to get to break here, make sure

967
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 3: we have plenty of time to get ready and get

968
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 3: reset for him. In the final hour of the show, yep,

969
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 3: and we'll kind of give you some final thoughts on

970
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 3: the conclusion of practice as well when we return. All
