<v Speaker 1>number three. We don't go to the office, We build it.

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 2>And as we begin the bonus hour, the buses are

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 2>rolling out of Saint Vincent and over to Latrow Memorial.

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Good evening, Good evening, Stealer Nation. How we do it? Well,

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 2>that's good. It is the bonus hour of the drive here.

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I think it was nine, nine or ten buses matting

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 2>and they just there's that would make ten. Okay, I

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 2>think that's number ten right there, bringing up the kaboos

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 2>here with a couple uh police cars obviously as well too,

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 2>so if you are listening to Matt, and I live

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 2>down there at Latro Memorial. In about five, six, seven

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.759
<v Speaker 2>minutes here, the buses will be rolling in, campus will

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>be jumping getting I was surprised, but it took me

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>about six minutes to get from there. You didn't police,

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have a police escort right now. I'm sure

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>there's a little more traffic and a little more commotion

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>down there now the way, but I would think, uh,

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.839
<v Speaker 2>in about about five minutes here or so, maybe again,

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe closer to ten. Because buses also, even with the

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 2>police are they probably move a little slower than your

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 2>boy does.

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 3>But it will be super keep ten of them together.

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 2>That that that as well too, that's the part that

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>always uh, Like Matt, I've told you the stories, and

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>some of them on are two. When we land for

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Steelers away games, the seven buses waiting.

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 3>But they're also not these old school school bus.

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, they're they're the coach busy. Yeah. Yeah, this

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 2>was another thing that was drilled into my head for

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the very first my very first trip with the Steelers.

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Don't get on the seventh bus because that bus goes

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>right to the stadium. It doesn't go to the hotel.

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 2>It goes to the stadium equip the guys and the

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 2>trainers and so they can get in there and get

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>set up and all that stuff. So it was like,

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>get on any butt. Well, don't get on the first

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 2>bus because that's that's the Steelers brass bus. Okay, Okay,

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 2>that's where that's where the mister Rooney sits and Mike

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Tomlin sits, and that's where the big timers sit. Don't

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 2>get on the first bus Bus one. Don't get on

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.359
<v Speaker 2>bus seven because that's going on the stag.

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 3>Guys, you didn't have a bus like your bus five.

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, we almost always go on bus six, like that's

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 2>what we but it's just kind of first come, first serve.

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 2>But don't go on bus one because that's for the

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>heavy hitters. Don't go on bus seven because you'll end

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 2>up at the stadium, not the hotel.

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to I think how pit did it When

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 3>we would travel during the regular season, Bus one was offensive, okay,

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 3>because Wald Harris our head coach, and he was also

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 3>an offensive guy. Bus to is defense and all of

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 3>us out. Everyone else was on bus three, like Billy

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Hillgrove was on with me. Sure, you know, and a

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 3>lot and some other football people. But it was like

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 3>I just jump on the third.

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Bus, right, that's that's It's funny how.

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't go on bus one or two as a

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 3>recruiting guy, but I'm going bus three.

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know this about me too, Like I just

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I want to I want to sit down, shut up,

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 2>stay out of the way. Just you know.

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:21.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what I did, right, if they need me

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 3>to help anything or you know Crystal Saler or director

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 3>of football ops. I always watched him because he had

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 3>to direct all that stuff. You're you know, a lot going.

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 3>It's a lot when we land. He would like stress

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 3>and go find the stuff, make sure the hotel's ready.

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 3>He's on the phone all the time.

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, that's a it's a heavy job. That's

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot of lifting, a lot of lifting.

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Certainly, the travel coordinator is a bigger job than anything.

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Shout out to Aiden who does that for the Steelers.

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 2>He's a good dude.

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 3>So I didn't last at Akron very long as the

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 3>director ops or I would have done that on travel,

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 3>but we didn't ever travel while I was there because

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 3>it was the off season. But I did organize all

0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 3>the details of the trip two Penn State would was

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>the first one. I hated that job.

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Hotels logistics.

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 3>Do you want chicken or spaghetti or boathh blah blah bah.

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I hate this.

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 2>How many rooms do you need?

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Suits?

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you need how many?

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a lot. Yeah, I didn't enjoy that part.

0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.039
<v Speaker 2>One thing that always impresses me, though, Matt is so

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 2>again the seventh buses with us, but kind of at

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>some point will break off to go to the stadium.

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 2>But keeping all six of those buses together, like when

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>we're going through Chicago or between Yeah, and I mean

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.359
<v Speaker 2>this with all due respect to the good people of

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo and Green Bay, and when you go to those places, okay,

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 2>you could keep six buses together and uh yeah, but

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 2>when you're when you're going to when you're going through

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.840
<v Speaker 2>downtown Chicago, or you're going through LA or you're going

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.719
<v Speaker 2>through Dallas, some of these massive cities, it's always impressive

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 2>to me how they can keep keep those six buses

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 2>uh relatively tightened together and between police police escorts. But

0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:01.600
<v Speaker 2>there is it all absolutely is It's like those cops

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 2>they like have like their own language of like all right,

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>when I get here, then you go around me, and

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 2>then we get exit.

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:06.919
<v Speaker 4>I do this.

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Exits are weird.

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>They're well trapped, they're well drilled. They're well drilled in this,

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 2>just like the Steelers are. They got to be all

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>work out your time ahead.

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.159
<v Speaker 3>And then now you go to the caboose and I

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 3>haven't done that a while, but that is kind of crazy.

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty cool. And like I said, especially when we're

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 2>when we're going to these big cities where the stadium's

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 2>right in the middle of the city and it's managed.

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 3>The Dublin one was crazy because that was the only

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 3>one I've done in a long time. Because you're going

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:30.599
<v Speaker 3>through these.

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Old schools, like kids are walking into the.

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Way to school and it's like this is I feel

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 3>like we don't belong here at all.

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 2>No, and we're still.

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Like the eighteen hundreds or something.

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:42.919
<v Speaker 2>Really did it was pretty cool. You're still in that

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>kind of jaded overnight. I know what time it was,

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I know what time it is. Your clocks all going

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 2>to school. It's like early in the morning there, but

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 2>you're like wanting to go back to bed and kids

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 2>are going to school and yet a little bit tighter

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>on those on those Irish streets than some of the uh,

0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 2>the American cities that were built hundreds of years later.

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 3>We were eighty miles an hour flying downe the highway.

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>No, we were not, we were not. We were going

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.599
<v Speaker 2>tight turns. And make sure you don't hit any of

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 2>those is we little lads walking themselves into school. Let's

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 2>hit some of these tweets here as we like to

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.080

<v Speaker 2>out to adjunct Professor Motes getting some shout outs in

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 2>the show this week. I have three questions for you guys.

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Number one, true or false lack of training camp coverage

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.280
<v Speaker 2>mentions of Michael Pittman Junior is alarming. It's funny we've

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 2>got We've started to get this question a little bit.

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:54.919
<v Speaker 2>I would say false.

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 3>I would say false, but if it goes to the

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 3>whole camp, maybe true. I've watched him. I don't look

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 3>at him and go Okay. So I was chatting with

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.479
<v Speaker 3>Chris Halleck last night and we were talking about this

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 3>exact same thing, and I used the reference of it

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 3>wasn't like when Alan Robinson showed up and you're like,

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if he can move anymore, you know,

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 3>like Pittman was fine. Yes, I don't think he's like

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 3>old all of a sudden, we'll washing it up or

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 3>any of those things. It's just that they haven't. He

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 3>hasn't had a signature play or a breakout moment. Maybe

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 3>it's just because they trust him and he knows he's

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 3>doing You know.

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I still too, And I know I mentioned this to

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 2>you a few days ago, but I still think a

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of that lack of conversation around and I think

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 2>DK metcalf too. It's not like people have been, you know,

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>spending a bunch of time talking about him. I think

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of that is one Everyone's eyes are on

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Roman Wilson and germ And and two, you don't have

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Ramsey or Joey Porter Junior out there lining up

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 2>across from Michael Penman Jr. Dk Metcalf to have that

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of Oh look here comes Joe Hayden and Antonio Brown.

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>This is much to watch every rep. You know, here

0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 2>comes uh Porter Junior.

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 3>They're not doing corner versus receiver and the best corners

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 3>aren't out there, so it's yeah, it'd be different if

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 3>it's like man Pittman just destroyed Porter all day. Wow,

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 3>that'd be something to talk about. Him getting open on

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 3>seven on Seven's is not all that noteworthy exactly right,

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 3>But he looks fine to me. It just physically and

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 3>all that. I don't think, Oh he's done.

0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Question two. Best wing sauce in Latrobe and from which restaurant?

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm so boring. I'm always buffalo dipped in blue cheek.

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 2>He talked about this few days ago. Uh, these sweet

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 2>heat from Dino's is unbelievable, you know what I've been told.

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 2>And I'm gonna well, not tonight, but soon rather than

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 2>later here, maybe Monday, when we have an evening show there.

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.559
<v Speaker 2>I think we're at Sharky's. I've been told, have you

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.199
<v Speaker 2>ever heard of like like Alabama white sauce, like the

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>southern southern white barbecue sauce.

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 3>I would definitely try that.

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Sharky's has a like an Alabama white, like a

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:55.439
<v Speaker 2>southern barbecue wing sauce that I've been told is phenomenal.

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 3>We should just get a dozen and share them, and that's.

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's what we'll do on Yeah. H three from me,

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>what is your favorite album cover of all time? It's

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 2>a good question. Dark Side, Man, that's a really good one.

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>That's one of those, like I don't know if there's

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 2>something that just jumps right off the page at me,

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 2>that's the one for Sergeant Pepper's the Beatles.

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 3>It's cool. I think if you bought the original album

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:23.960
<v Speaker 3>the vinyl, I think there's a paper in there that

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 3>tells you who everyone is on the cover it is,

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 3>and it maybe evens in the CD right after you're

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 3>talking for Pepers and Sergeant Pepper's, I mean they're all Yeah.

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 3>First one just came to mind was dark dark Side

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 3>is a great one.

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, that is a great one. I'm sure this

0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 2>will be one of those things where it'll be you know,

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty minutes from now and we'll be like, oh yeah,

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 2>there's this album cover and that album.

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Along those lines. The Wall is is maybe my favorite

0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 3>album of all time. And in my fraternity room, my

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 3>sister drew the wall cover because we had like a

0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 3>brick wall, and she drew it exactly, but she did

0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 3>it with fraternity colors like thrown in. That's pretty mu,

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 3>which is pretty Yeah, that was very cool.

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's very cool. I like the Springsteen Born in

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 2>the USA one with the blue jeans and the and

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 2>the hat and the American flag and all that. It's

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good one.

0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 3>There's some good there's there's so many icons.

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>So many gn R.

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, appetite, I mean, just because I don't love that

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 3>as much as I love the album, you know what

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean? Like dark sides like whoa, yeah, yeah, I'm

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 3>sure there's some obvious ones.

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 2>There's definitely some obvious ones that that we're missing as

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 2>we do and these puts you on the spot type

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Q and A sessions that we do here with our

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Twitter segments.

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Adam says for those about the rock, just the cannon

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 3>pretty cool. Yeah, that's one of my favorite.

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 2>That's a great one. Yeah, it's so good, so good. Yeah,

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 2>a c DC has some great, great album covers.

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.680
<v Speaker 3>This wasn't my bag. But in my day everyone had

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 3>an Iron Maiden poster and I mean they were like

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 3>iconic art. Oh yeah, and a lot everyone had like artwork.

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean that was art. And for an album.

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 2>I like the The Terrapin Station Grateful Dead. It's the

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 2>turtle playing the playing the guitar at the train station.

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.319
<v Speaker 3>I love Turtles, Turtles.

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.199
<v Speaker 2>He told me a funny story. I love Turtles with

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 2>our buddy Dale Lawlly. Maybe we'll have to bust that

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 2>one out before camp is over. Adams says, they put

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.280
<v Speaker 2>t O in, they can most certainly put a b in.

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've used that example too. And the thing about

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 3>to is he went to so many different teams. It's

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 3>such a short amount of time too. It's very comparable

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 3>to me, although does to of any.

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he had the legal stuff quite like different.

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:33.559
<v Speaker 3>I mean it shouldn't be, but it's going back to

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 3>the conversation. But I don't think THEO ever spent jail

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 3>time or was arrested or anything.

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 2>He was just the butt he Also, I'm not saying

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 2>he wouldn't have because it was a different time period.

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 2>But like right now, you can go on Antonio Brown's

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 2>social media and almost every week he's putting something out

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 2>that's inappropriate. Let's just say.

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 3>I was told he sold that to somebody else, so

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't do it anymore. I can't confirm that's true.

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 2>He should let people know that that's not him. That

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 2>would help a lot.

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.640
<v Speaker 3>And because the crazy stuff, trust me, I've been aware.

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 2>He takes some shots at some current and former NFL people,

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 2>and that's what the kind of stuff the league doesn't

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:11.319
<v Speaker 2>want to see.

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 3>There's some slurs, there's some slurs and whatnot.

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>That's the kind of stuff the league doesn't want to see.

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 3>I was told though he no longer operates that.

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:22.320
<v Speaker 2>If that's the case, one, I'd be glad to hear that,

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 2>and two, I hope he makes that well known that

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 2>it's not his anymore.

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure some of our listeners are like, Matt, you're

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 3>totally wrong, or yeah, you know it, because somebody would

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 3>know that better than me.

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we can look into that. Is that stuff public

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 2>record transactions of social media accounts.

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 3>I can make someone a great deal on Williams in NFL.

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 3>It costs you two point six million.

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.199
<v Speaker 2>I'll sell I'll sell Wes Leuler much cheaper than that.

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.319
<v Speaker 2>But I don't have as many followers as Bat, so

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 2>you have to pick where you want to invest your money.

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Two point six million, Negotia. I think you could retire.

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 2>I never would. You could just start Williams in the

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 2>NFL too, Yeah, Matt. Matt and I had that conversation

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 2>about a year ago where like, Hey, what would happen

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 2>if you if you hit the powerball or something like that,

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, and Matt was like, I'd still do SNR.

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I still want to talk about football.

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 3>That might cut it down a little, a couple more

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 3>vacations mixed in.

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.560
<v Speaker 2>But not do shows throughout the off season.

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.959
<v Speaker 3>I'd maybe do some for my helicopter or from my yacht,

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 3>but I'd have a little studio probably set up for

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 3>the off season. I'd cut some of my other things out.

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 3>I would be on so many hours in a day.

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 2>I'd be on a beach, and I'd be on a

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 2>beach somewhere with a margarita in my hand. I'll talk

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 2>about football to myself.

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:29.960
<v Speaker 3>Babe.

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh conversation with a two part question here. First, if

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.439
<v Speaker 2>there was one Pittsburgh bar or establishment you would recommend

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.680
<v Speaker 2>for a lifelong Steeler fan who was going to Pittsburgh

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>for the first time, what would it be? And also

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.440
<v Speaker 2>wish two Steelers would you like to see in a

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 2>water chugging contest at Sharky's.

0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 3>Wow, the first one is totally you. I saw that

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.959
<v Speaker 3>tweet earlier. I'm not good at that stuff and I'm

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:54.719
<v Speaker 3>not a bar go and go unless.

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean I can give I can give you like ten.

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to pick one, fat heads, was always my answer.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 2>You had to pick one. But it's no longer there

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 2>closed to I.

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 3>Don't know who's good on game day because I'm never there.

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So that actually is true because he said, uh,

0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh fan, So I guess he didn't specifically say game day,

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 2>but he said going to Pittsburgh for the first time.

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 2>If it is game day, just go to any of

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 2>those ones down there on the North Shore that are

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 2>close to the stadium. They all can't they get They

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 2>all get rocking on even away games. Yes, But in

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 2>terms of just like sports bars, man, I love Archies

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 2>is a fantastic place to watch a game, and they

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 2>have really good Wings Pittsburgh Conversation follow up with me

0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 2>a little bit on that one. Let me know some

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 2>more specifics, like are you talking a sports bar to

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 2>watch games? Are you talking a place to get food too?

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 3>We know South Hills is way different than North Hills,

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:46.680
<v Speaker 3>way different. I mean that's over the wall.

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 2>And there's also you know, places like Lawrenceville where I

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't necessarily call them bars, but there's a lot of

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 2>breweries that are that are just fantastic. I know I've

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 2>laid that out on the show before. Pittsburgh. Man, if

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 2>you're a if you're a person who likes breweries and

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 2>like craft beers per cap per capita, Pittsburgh has got

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 2>to be the top of the list. We've got a

0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 2>dozen great breweries in Pittsburgh.

0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, like us South Hild's folks think there's

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 3>white walkers in the North Hills. I mean, like, that's

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 3>that's on the other side of the wall.

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Dude, that is on the other side of the Buddy

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Crowley used to say that all the time. He'd be like,

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I'd be like, dude, come over from the WU game,

0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 2>and he'd be like, Oh, it's so full, and I'd

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 2>be like, dude, it's twenty five you live twenty five

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 2>minutes away from me. What do you mean it's so far?

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 2>He's like, yeah, I gotta go north of the wall.

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't know about that.

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Two Steelers in a water chugging contest. I can tell

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:31.960
<v Speaker 2>you this, Jennings Dunker would definitely be one of them.

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, good call.

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 2>And I'm just going purely off looks here and ribes

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Jennings Dunker would absolutely be one of them. Maybe why

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 2>a black the other? I picked the two. I picked

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 2>the two midwestern Iowa guys.

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Of course, anyone from WU.

0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:53.800
<v Speaker 2>So you know what, It's funny, No, Zach's Zach's two

0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 2>by the book man like. I'm sure Zach likes to

0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 2>have cut loose and have a good time from time

0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 2>to time, but I also wouldn't describe him as a

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 2>party boy. What about Mason McCormick o line, strong place start, big,

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 2>strong place to start. I mean, our guy Max Starks

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 2>would probably still be at the top of this conversation.

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Try to think.

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean in history, I bet there's a million.

0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Without a doubt. The uh the next Hall of Fame

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 2>quarterback for the Steelers might be on that list. In

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 2>terms of in terms of history, Max has some good

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 2>stories about how, uh, the Steelers used to kind of

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 2>have a beer drinking council in the evenings after practice

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 2>where it was like a veteran like they'd get a

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 2>cooler and have nothing crazy, but they'd have a couple

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 2>of pops after practice. Yeah, and it was all a

0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 2>veterans thing, correct, It was all a veterans thing, and

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 2>you had to be invited.

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so if you're a rook.

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't doesn't matter if you're a first round but if

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 2>you're if it's going on here, it doesn't matter if

0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.360
<v Speaker 2>you're Maxie honachor like, you got to be invited. And

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Max was like, it was only a couple of practices

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 2>until Ben got invited. It's like Ben was Ben was

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 2>pretty quickly on the council as a rookie. He Max

0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:54.160
<v Speaker 2>is like, it took me a little bit longer to

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 2>earn my stripes, but U Ben was up there pretty quickly.

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm sure Lambert and we could really go back,

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.000
<v Speaker 3>and I'm sure Wolf could tell some story.

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.280
<v Speaker 2>The wolf would have been in that conversation when Wolf

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.080
<v Speaker 2>in Tounch would have certainly been in that conversation at

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.320
<v Speaker 2>one point too. Keep the tweets rolling in. You know

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.400

<v Speaker 2>I think he hits one of his traditions, no broadcasts

0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.080

<v Speaker 2>of people that are there on the grounds of Latrow Memorial.

0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Should be a lot of fun.

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:15.640
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like they've landed though.

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh they certainly have. There's videos all over the timeline

0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:22.120
<v Speaker 2>of autographs and chaos and all that good stuff.

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Cool.

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Matt one of the people who of course, is out

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:26.640
<v Speaker 2>there and taking it in for the first time. Steelers

0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 2>defensive coordinator Patrick Graham he spoke today earlier today and

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 2>talked about a lot of different things, a lot of

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:36.840
<v Speaker 2>questions about the defensive line, a lot of questions about

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.920
<v Speaker 2>the secondary as he starts to learn his personnel better

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.879
<v Speaker 2>and this thing starts to come together. Here's what PG

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 2>had to say earlier today.

0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:50.119
<v Speaker 5>We've seen the outside linebackers lineup not just on different sides,

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 5>but also a lot more off ball looks like kind

0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:56.320
<v Speaker 5>of a new traditional inside linebacker looks. What does that

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:58.959
<v Speaker 5>do for your defense or how do these guys adapt

0:19:58.960 --> 0:19:59.159
<v Speaker 5>to that?

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 4>So well as this like you're happy to move TJ, Alex.

0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 5>Sawyer, Nick all over all over your defensive formation up front.

0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:07.920
<v Speaker 6>It starts with, you know, the buy in in terms

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 6>of the scheme what we're trying to do. These guys

0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.679
<v Speaker 6>have been great, you know, uh, TJ all, all the

0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:14.560
<v Speaker 6>guys have been great in terms of buying.

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:15.560
<v Speaker 4>In and studying really hard.

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:19.160
<v Speaker 6>And CJ's done a good job their coach of get

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.199
<v Speaker 6>them in different places again, because we're gonna do as

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 6>much as they can handle, you know, and we're gonna

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:26.120
<v Speaker 6>try to put them in places where spots where we

0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 6>believe it's gonna be beneficial for them to be productive

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 6>and also for the scheme of the defense. But a

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 6>lot of this buying and then you know there's some

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 6>you know working, some trial and there stuff as we

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 6>go to you know, like everything's not gonna make it

0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:41.399
<v Speaker 6>to week one in terms of schematically as we're going

0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:42.200
<v Speaker 6>through training camp.

0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:44.600
<v Speaker 4>But I mean they've done a great job with that

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:46.640
<v Speaker 4>and the reason why we do it. We think it so.

0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 6>It's best for them to be productive and we think

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:50.439
<v Speaker 6>it's gonna be a good scheme for us.

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 5>What you see in your skill in their skill sets,

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 5>when you like study your roster and understand what these

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:56.640
<v Speaker 5>guys are say like this will be really a really

0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:58.000
<v Speaker 5>good piece to ad because a lot of people look

0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 5>at you know, three four outside linebackers say just need them.

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Rush in the passer.

0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:03.640
<v Speaker 6>Well one before you get the skill set, the production

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 6>you know, the guys have been you know, they've produced

0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:07.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, in terms of past so they have to

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 6>be accounted for. So that's one of the positives there

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 6>just schematically, when you look at the big picture, then

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:14.920
<v Speaker 6>skill set wise athletically, I.

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 4>Mean they're they're.

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 6>They got good traits in terms of length, uh size,

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:20.360
<v Speaker 6>the ability.

0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 4>Then they have good athletic ability. So it's a lot.

0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:27.159
<v Speaker 6>I mean again, I'm happy for how they the organization,

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:29.800
<v Speaker 6>the club, Omar and his staff in terms of how

0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.199
<v Speaker 6>they put together this roster in terms of you know,

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 6>we got we got some options, we got some options

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:35.960
<v Speaker 6>you've had.

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 7>I've spoken with a couple of different linebackers and said

0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 7>that they feel like in your system that they feel

0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 7>a little bit more free, like it's just like it's

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 7>just play. Can you describe how you've designed that so

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:48.639
<v Speaker 7>that they can feel a little bit more free to

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:49.639
<v Speaker 7>just just play.

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:53.200
<v Speaker 6>So it's again, anything we do is never just me,

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 6>you know. I know I'm responsible for it in terms

0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 6>of what goes out there, but it's it's really collectively myself,

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.040
<v Speaker 6>the coaches, and for me is getting input from players

0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 6>and so over my years of coaching and as the

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:09.480
<v Speaker 6>system has evolved, just trying to keep things in buckets

0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 6>for the players, you know, trying to I don't want

0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:14.320
<v Speaker 6>to have them doing ten different things on any given

0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:17.560
<v Speaker 6>play or thinking about ten different techniques. So for me,

0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 6>I'm always trying to minimize it, and I think It

0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.879
<v Speaker 6>comes from my front background, you know, Like for me,

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:26.840
<v Speaker 6>I'm a D line slash linebacker coach background. So for me,

0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 6>it was always Okay, our immediate threats right in our face.

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:32.800
<v Speaker 6>We have to make quicker decisions then, say on the

0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 6>back end at times. And so for me, I'm like, okay,

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 6>this is the same ass, this is the same ass.

0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 4>I think that's where.

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:41.439
<v Speaker 6>If we can eliminate variables, they able to play faster

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.400
<v Speaker 6>and just put them in right spots. So that's that's

0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 6>how the systems built. I try to keep everything in

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:49.640
<v Speaker 6>five buckets. And you know I'm jerry rigging that sometimes,

0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:51.639
<v Speaker 6>but you know that's put that in that bucket. You

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:54.280
<v Speaker 6>know there's bucket A and a A or one A

0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 6>and one a B.

0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:57.160
<v Speaker 4>You know what I mean. But that's how we try

0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 4>to do it.

0:22:57.800 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 6>And you know, it's been successful for me in the

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 6>past with the guys I've coached and so far, you know,

0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:04.159
<v Speaker 6>they're they're buying into it.

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:07.680
<v Speaker 8>How is that an impacted by not having Jalen and

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 8>Joey and Deshaun for periods of time?

0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 6>Is I mean, they've been so great in the classroom

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:15.080
<v Speaker 6>in terms of you know, you're talking about guys who

0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:18.080
<v Speaker 6>have played a lot of football, So you know, you know,

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 6>whether it's in the classroom just talking through it, but

0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:23.640
<v Speaker 6>they're engaged. I'm engaged with them, the guys that are

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:26.240
<v Speaker 6>engaged with them, So you know we're gonna that's it

0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:28.479
<v Speaker 6>really gets you ready for the season. That happens all

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:30.880
<v Speaker 6>the time when you're playing a collision sport. Some guy

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:32.719
<v Speaker 6>might not practice all week, but he's gonna be up

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:34.960
<v Speaker 6>for the game. So for me, in terms of the

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:37.440
<v Speaker 6>evaluation the defense, we're gonna evaluate the guys out there,

0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 6>but in terms of the defenses schematically, you know a

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:42.360
<v Speaker 6>lot of times it's gonna be next man up.

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:45.119
<v Speaker 4>Mentality evaluation.

0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of that evaluation of Sanje, Sanuel Junior has gotten

0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:49.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of lucks with Joey out. What have you

0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 2>seen from him?

0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:52.919
<v Speaker 9>What's kind of impressed you about what he's been doing, I.

0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:55.200
<v Speaker 4>Mean what he's done throughout his career in the league.

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.720
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you see a guy again, let's start in

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 6>the class Let's talk about the person great person I

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:05.720
<v Speaker 6>mean like just super cool person, like really smart, has

0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 6>a great personality and a joy to be around. Then

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.160
<v Speaker 6>you talk about the football player in the classroom. Real attentive,

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 6>not afraid to speak up in the meetings again and

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:17.480
<v Speaker 6>just answer questions. I call them a lot because I

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:21.199
<v Speaker 6>want the guys to hear his voice. He's really smart

0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:23.640
<v Speaker 6>and knows how to talk football with you.

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 4>Or with the players.

0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 6>You see him talking to some of the other guys,

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.840
<v Speaker 6>and then on the field you see the foot quickness, you.

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 4>See the speed and the burst.

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 6>You see the willingness to get down a line of

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:36.679
<v Speaker 6>scrimmage and get hands on I know. I mean he's

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 6>been doing a good job there. And then just the

0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:41.199
<v Speaker 6>tackling in terms of again we're not doing live tackling,

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 6>but for me, the whole live tackling thing is about

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.160
<v Speaker 6>to me, the tackling, getting our angles right, making sure

0:24:47.200 --> 0:24:47.920
<v Speaker 6>we're closing the space.

0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:48.840
<v Speaker 4>We know the run game in.

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:50.560
<v Speaker 6>The NFL is trying to get out to the corner.

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it's been real pleasure to watch him. And

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 6>then he's getting to the ball. So, like you know,

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:58.160
<v Speaker 6>once we start getting to the ball and come away

0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:00.440
<v Speaker 6>with turnovers, that's always a positive for us.

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:02.879
<v Speaker 9>We've seen you guys bring a lot of different types

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.000
<v Speaker 9>of pressure. I'm curious just how would you describe your

0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:06.719
<v Speaker 9>philosophy when it comes to pressure.

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:10.680
<v Speaker 6>You know, some people like trying to go in put

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:13.480
<v Speaker 6>this way how I learned it. Like sometimes you're trying

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.399
<v Speaker 6>to free out. You have run pressure, you have pass pressure.

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 6>So like on a run pressure, I might be trying

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:20.439
<v Speaker 6>to you know, it might more be involved with an

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:23.200
<v Speaker 6>edge pressure or just plug in the middle of the defense.

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:25.399
<v Speaker 6>So to me, however you do it in terms of

0:25:25.480 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 6>run pressure, you're trying to get to five down spacing

0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:28.600
<v Speaker 6>from off the ball.

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:30.399
<v Speaker 4>Does that make sense? All right?

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 6>Once we get to pressures that are geared for the past,

0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:35.760
<v Speaker 6>a lot of times you're either trying to be right,

0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:38.560
<v Speaker 6>meaning you're scheming it up for a free runner or

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 6>one on one like the design one on one, so

0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:44.359
<v Speaker 6>you're trying to be right, moving the front around, running games,

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:47.040
<v Speaker 6>opposite things of that nature. So those are more pass calls.

0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:50.000
<v Speaker 6>And then you have guys in terms of pass calls

0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 6>where you're just trying to create one on one matchup

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:53.960
<v Speaker 6>because we have a pretty good front.

0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 4>So for me, I fall in the run pressure that's

0:25:57.119 --> 0:25:58.520
<v Speaker 4>everybody in the league.

0:25:58.720 --> 0:26:01.880
<v Speaker 6>The pass pressures that really, okay, I'm gonna put overload

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:04.199
<v Speaker 6>here and try to get a free runner to me.

0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:06.399
<v Speaker 6>I like our matchups one on one. So like to me,

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 6>I'm not afraid if it creates a one on one

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 6>matchup because how we talk here is you're expected.

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:12.400
<v Speaker 4>To win the one on one.

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:16.199
<v Speaker 6>So if all in those three buckets does that, that

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 6>makes sense right there.

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 5>With Mike McCarthy, listen is Steelers six mannerisms and disguises.

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:22.760
<v Speaker 3>Was one of them.

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:25.880
<v Speaker 5>How do you go about teaching, you know, being able

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:29.560
<v Speaker 5>to sell one look versus getting to and establishing you know,

0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 5>your role in that in what you're disguising.

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 6>It starts off with a lot of listening. You know,

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:37.119
<v Speaker 6>you listen when coaches up there talking to the team.

0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 6>You know, getting to have such a resource like coach Aaron,

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:44.359
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I mean it's I think it's gives us

0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 6>an advantage, you know. So for me, it starts with Okay,

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:50.159
<v Speaker 6>as the quarterback under center and the gun, they understand

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:52.280
<v Speaker 6>the nature of the place, how you can disguise. If

0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 6>he's in the gun, he's looking directly at you, all right.

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 6>If he's under center, you're anticipating most teams he's going

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:00.160
<v Speaker 6>to turn his back to you. So you're trying trying

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 6>to talk to them about that. Then by formation, are

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 6>they boasting is if if it's a formation in the boundary,

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 6>how what we're trying to show.

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:11.120
<v Speaker 4>So it's really about listening to our offense.

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:12.480
<v Speaker 6>When we have time in the spring and now they're

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.600
<v Speaker 6>in training camp, and then it's recognizing formations and where

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:17.600
<v Speaker 6>the quarterbacks at and working from there.

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:20.160
<v Speaker 10>We've seen you use a lot of split safety. Look

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:22.280
<v Speaker 10>so far in training camp traditionally is a team that

0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 10>rant a lot of simple high middle clues. What true

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 10>levy does that sought process there and where some of.

0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:30.159
<v Speaker 6>The president come well, you know, you look at the

0:27:30.240 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 6>numbers from what we've called, I would probably say we

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:34.880
<v Speaker 6>probably called more post.

0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 4>Safety in camp.

0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:39.959
<v Speaker 6>I will say that, But for me, in terms of

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:43.040
<v Speaker 6>split safety postage, split safety just gives your ability to

0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 6>disguise some you get disguised from the post safety as well.

0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 6>But I would say today's quarterbacks, I mean it's split

0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:53.840
<v Speaker 6>safety and you could disguise what the weak safety is

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 6>doing because they've been trained since high school. The stare

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.199
<v Speaker 6>at that week safety and the nickel position. You know,

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 6>it gives you a little bit more time to confuse

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:05.440
<v Speaker 6>the quarterback. That's my take, and then obviously from there

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:08.080
<v Speaker 6>playing the run. From there, you know, because everybody in

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:10.680
<v Speaker 6>their mind goes to, hey, you gotta get the single,

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 6>hide and stop the run. You gotta remember how I

0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:16.880
<v Speaker 6>was trained. You asked me my favorite call versus stop

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:18.800
<v Speaker 6>the run is cover too. But y'all know where I

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.240
<v Speaker 6>started at. I mean, so my answer for everything is

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:24.199
<v Speaker 6>covered too. But you know we don't do that all

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:26.960
<v Speaker 6>the time. But you know, you know I love me

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:27.640
<v Speaker 6>some cover too.

0:28:28.800 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 8>Speaking a Drick, obviously, d line is something that's going

0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 8>to play a big part in stop in the run.

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 8>How have you found that depth and specifically with why

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 8>how do you think he's developing here?

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 6>Is that death came from how Omar and their staff

0:28:41.080 --> 0:28:42.400
<v Speaker 6>put together the roster.

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:44.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we have a lot of options.

0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 6>Again, how the profile they've established here and haven't really

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 6>strayed from it. I mean again, I applaud them because

0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 6>I know myself when we started, oh it's a passing league.

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:57.680
<v Speaker 6>Past the league and we start getting smaller and smaller

0:28:57.680 --> 0:29:00.240
<v Speaker 6>different places I've been. I love the fact fact that

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:03.040
<v Speaker 6>they stayed with the profile. It shows discipline of the organization.

0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:04.720
<v Speaker 6>That's why they win all the time, you know, and

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:06.960
<v Speaker 6>that's what I'm happy to be here. But in terms

0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 6>of the depth. It starts there and now as they compete,

0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:12.800
<v Speaker 6>you really see them bringing out the best in one another.

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:15.920
<v Speaker 6>And and it's and it's hard to compete in that

0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 6>room because you have you have quality guys who I

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:20.200
<v Speaker 6>mean again, I can't I don't want to give away

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:21.680
<v Speaker 6>a number, but I mean there's gonna be a lot

0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 6>of guys from that room that are.

0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:24.760
<v Speaker 4>Gonna be playing a NFL football, you know.

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:28.240
<v Speaker 6>So it's it's really impressive how they put together the roster.

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 4>I love how they compete.

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:32.320
<v Speaker 6>Uh, it's a pleasure to be in the meetings with

0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 6>them and how they talk to one another. Cam does

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:37.360
<v Speaker 6>a great job of being a good leader. But then

0:29:37.520 --> 0:29:41.080
<v Speaker 6>the funny thing is Cam obviously with experienced.

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:41.240
<v Speaker 4>Being a leader.

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:43.240
<v Speaker 6>But you know, you hear you hear the other guys

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 6>in the room talking. You know, you have Dean in there.

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:46.920
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I mean, Dean's played a lot of football.

0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 6>Sebastians played a lot of football Harmon, even though the

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:51.360
<v Speaker 6>second year he played a lot of football.

0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 4>It's fun to be in that room and hear them

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 4>talk football.

0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 5>You were talking about your your safeties as far as

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 5>like how they've played in their career between Kwan, you

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:04.000
<v Speaker 5>know ray Sean Deshan. A lot of them would played

0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 5>primarily just strong safety roles in defenses.

0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Is where they lined up.

0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 5>Is the lack of NFL free safety experience something that

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 5>you guys look at us as old thing that you

0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 5>have to disguise or work around or do you see

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 5>your guys it's like, hey, that's something that they.

0:30:18.120 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Can do this hard job to put them in the

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 4>best spots.

0:30:21.080 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 6>And then for us when we're evaluating guys like so,

0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 6>whether it's a new staff like you know for the

0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:29.720
<v Speaker 6>guys that were here or acquiring a player from free agency,

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:32.360
<v Speaker 6>we're looking for traits. So you could find if you

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 6>search hard enough, you can find the traits, whether you

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.840
<v Speaker 6>know however the other teams use them or however they

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:40.560
<v Speaker 6>were used. So if you could find the traits, that's

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 6>that's what we're looking for. And then I try again.

0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 6>I've known Joe Simo for a long time. I mean,

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:48.280
<v Speaker 6>I trust those guys more.

0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 4>I can't. I can't.

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:51.760
<v Speaker 6>I mean there's not too many people I could name

0:30:52.160 --> 0:30:54.120
<v Speaker 6>in coaching I would trust more to get it right

0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:57.320
<v Speaker 6>and coaching right. So I mean they do an excellent job.

0:30:57.360 --> 0:30:59.640
<v Speaker 6>I mean, just look at their track record. They they

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:01.520
<v Speaker 6>know how to coach ball and all the coach DB's

0:31:01.560 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 6>and they know I don't want to coach them joking.

0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:05.720
<v Speaker 6>I want to spend time with the front.

0:31:05.760 --> 0:31:08.760
<v Speaker 4>So how much you.

0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Might change when Jalen returns.

0:31:10.320 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 5>You guys talked about using him as the star dB

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:15.800
<v Speaker 5>and him being able to float all around and bring

0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:18.080
<v Speaker 5>in guy like that back into your defense. Does that

0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:19.719
<v Speaker 5>jumble up a lot of things that you guys are

0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 5>working on now we.

0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:23.080
<v Speaker 6>We're I mean, this is what I want to make

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:25.880
<v Speaker 6>sure that just because guys aren't practiced, they're they're still

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:29.920
<v Speaker 6>part of it. But Jalen's part of it. I Jalen's

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:32.440
<v Speaker 6>in my thought process. They're all in my thought process,

0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 6>and it's all in the coaches thought process. So everything

0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 6>we do out there in their field that's collectively like

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 6>it's not good. I mean again, certain players come out

0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 6>you might you know, highlight something a little bit different,

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.240
<v Speaker 6>but they're all in the process of how we're putting

0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:46.880
<v Speaker 6>this thing together.

0:31:48.080 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 9>Coach ranks, you know, you have the opportunity to work

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:52.920
<v Speaker 9>with a lot of well respected defensive minds. How has

0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 9>some of that shaped your philosophy and are the elements

0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:57.600
<v Speaker 9>that you've borrowed or taken from them that you're now

0:31:57.640 --> 0:31:59.040
<v Speaker 9>implementing this defense.

0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean so many different I mean.

0:32:03.600 --> 0:32:08.080
<v Speaker 6>The long winded here, but no, no, no, no, there's

0:32:08.120 --> 0:32:11.200
<v Speaker 6>different things from each guy, you know. But at the

0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 6>really good ones, I've always said, they're really good listeners,

0:32:16.040 --> 0:32:18.600
<v Speaker 6>really organized, and clear with the vision. You know, once

0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:20.240
<v Speaker 6>you put in a place of leadership, I think you

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:23.080
<v Speaker 6>got to be clear with the vision. And that doesn't

0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:25.239
<v Speaker 6>mean you have to micromanage that. That might, you know,

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 6>you have to micro manage them. You just have to

0:32:27.400 --> 0:32:29.520
<v Speaker 6>be clear with the vision and then let them bring

0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:32.560
<v Speaker 6>it to life, you know, the assistant coaches, let them

0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 6>develop a language how they're talking to their players. I mean,

0:32:35.480 --> 0:32:37.320
<v Speaker 6>that's what I learned from, you know, all the guys

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 6>I worked for. And then schematically, it's all the funny thing.

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:45.240
<v Speaker 6>The guys I worked for that are really good. It's

0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:47.440
<v Speaker 6>all rooted in the same principles, you know, in terms

0:32:47.480 --> 0:32:49.560
<v Speaker 6>of knocking the line of scrimmage bag, playing with your

0:32:49.560 --> 0:32:53.200
<v Speaker 6>hands set in the edge, you know, defending the DP ball,

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:57.479
<v Speaker 6>you know, just like tackling those guys. And it always

0:32:57.560 --> 0:33:00.080
<v Speaker 6>comes back to that. So I always find myself what

0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 6>I learned from them is always come back to the core,

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:06.520
<v Speaker 6>your core values, and you know, my core six or

0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:08.520
<v Speaker 6>their core six might be a little bit different or

0:33:08.880 --> 0:33:13.480
<v Speaker 6>you know, turn you know, prioritized differently, but we're probably

0:33:13.520 --> 0:33:16.200
<v Speaker 6>you know, I learned what to put in those core

0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:18.000
<v Speaker 6>values from those men.

0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 2>All Right, Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham fascinating guy, well spoken.

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Matt and I have talked about that before. You can

0:33:28.600 --> 0:33:32.959
<v Speaker 2>hear the usful the Yale education in the in the

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:37.040
<v Speaker 2>background there and uh, Matt, a lot of intriguing, rightfully

0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:39.960
<v Speaker 2>so around Mike McCarthy and the reunion with Aaron Rodgers

0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and what this offense is going to look like. But

0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 2>man sneaky on that other side of the ball just

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:47.120
<v Speaker 2>about is intriguing with what Patrick Graham. A lot of

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:50.320
<v Speaker 2>familiar ingredients on that defense, but a brand new chef

0:33:50.360 --> 0:33:51.080
<v Speaker 2>to put them all together.

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it's gonna taste a little different, it's

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:55.960
<v Speaker 3>gonna look a little different. I like to Obviously a

0:33:56.000 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 3>lot of attention to detail. Really wants to concentrate on

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:03.360
<v Speaker 3>the front. I'm really optimistic, man, what he got out

0:34:03.360 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 3>of a Raiders team that really didn't have a fraction

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:09.799
<v Speaker 3>of the talent he's working with now. And we haven't

0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:11.439
<v Speaker 3>talked about this a lot, but if you go through

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:14.640
<v Speaker 3>his history as a defensive coordinator, I bet he would

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:17.120
<v Speaker 3>tell you. And honestly, I mean, it's pretty clear this

0:34:17.200 --> 0:34:20.319
<v Speaker 3>is the best group of players he's coached. Without he

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:21.480
<v Speaker 3>has not had great talent.

0:34:21.800 --> 0:34:25.800
<v Speaker 2>It's like going from a from a mid level college

0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:28.800
<v Speaker 2>football program to like a big time SEC or big time.

0:34:28.680 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 3>But you're playing the same teams, You're playing the same schedule,

0:34:32.560 --> 0:34:34.600
<v Speaker 3>right right right. The level of competition didn't go up.

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:36.360
<v Speaker 2>And like I said, I I understand most of the

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.640
<v Speaker 2>eyes have been on the offense and the quarterbacks, and

0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:40.439
<v Speaker 2>I get all that without a doubt. But I think

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:43.520
<v Speaker 2>I think once they once they start hitting in preseason,

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:45.600
<v Speaker 2>not even as much as in preseason, but of course

0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 2>once we get to the regular season, I think quickly

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:50.560
<v Speaker 2>people will be very intrigued by what's going on with

0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:53.880
<v Speaker 2>that defense. The Steelers have made a couple of waiver

0:34:53.960 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 2>wire moves that will that will kind of get to

0:34:57.600 --> 0:34:59.320
<v Speaker 2>you here before we get up out of here. In

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:02.280
<v Speaker 2>our last segment, We've also got a couple last tweets

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:02.759
<v Speaker 2>to hit in.

0:35:02.719 --> 0:35:05.239
<v Speaker 3>Some final uh wrap this thing up?

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, leading up to the start of Saturday Night Lights.

0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Of course, over at Latrow Memorial. We'll do all of

0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:14.360
<v Speaker 2>that and more when we return for our final segment.

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I think I've joked about you with this before. Motes

0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:29.719
<v Speaker 2>and I used to joke about this like every Tuesday

0:36:30.040 --> 0:36:32.759
<v Speaker 2>in the past, Mike Tomlin would have his press conferences

0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 2>during the season at noon right ye clockwork, and Motes

0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:38.839
<v Speaker 2>and I used to be sitting in the studio and

0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:41.440
<v Speaker 2>we would laugh because you'd go through your Twitter feed

0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:44.239
<v Speaker 2>and you would have thirty seven people tweet the same

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 2>exact thing. Second department, right, There'd be Dale, and there'd

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:50.520
<v Speaker 2>be Pursuita, and there'd be Kebali, and there would be

0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:53.239
<v Speaker 2>Jerry Dulac and Brian Bacco and Mike the Fabo and

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Brook Pryor and you know out them, Alan Saunders and

<v Speaker 2>goes on and on, and they're all tweeting out and

0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Chris Carter and they're all tweeting out all the different

0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:07.799
<v Speaker 2>the same exact quote seconds and seconds apart, and Motes

0:37:07.800 --> 0:37:09.600
<v Speaker 2>that I used to laugh. We'd be like, all right,

0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:11.799
<v Speaker 2>here comes, here comes the next fifteen minutes. You can't

0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:13.439
<v Speaker 2>get on your Twitter feed because you'll see the same,

0:37:13.600 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 2>the same exact quote fifty seven times right now, right now,

0:37:18.400 --> 0:37:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Everyone on my Twitter feed are real, you know, intrepid

0:37:21.960 --> 0:37:26.160
<v Speaker 2>journalistic and reporter friends are all tweeting out. I actually

0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:30.000
<v Speaker 2>like this, different pictures and videos. Yah, it's not the

0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:34.040
<v Speaker 2>same head coach quote thirty seven times, but I'm.

0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 3>Sure it's all getting off the bus and you.

0:37:36.080 --> 0:37:40.719

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:43.360
<v Speaker 2>scenes that we come to expect there at Latro Memorial

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Stadium and what is another man packed packed house. Doesn't

0:37:47.280 --> 0:37:49.680
<v Speaker 2>look like there's an inch to move in that place

0:37:49.920 --> 0:37:51.400
<v Speaker 2>and should be a lot of fun. This sevening.

0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm sure it's rocking. I'm kind of jealous we're

0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:58.040
<v Speaker 3>not over there at the moment. But the Twitter thing's

0:37:58.080 --> 0:38:02.600
<v Speaker 3>pretty funny because motes of every similar tonight we're done

0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:06.480
<v Speaker 3>or in the Tuesdays, it's just exactly.

0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:08.160
<v Speaker 2>It's hilarious like we would most and I would always

0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:09.840
<v Speaker 2>have that joke like put your Twitter feed away for

0:38:09.880 --> 0:38:11.759
<v Speaker 2>fifteen minutes because it's about to get clogged up with

0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:12.760
<v Speaker 2>the same with the same.

0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:14.879
<v Speaker 3>Quote just Red red one and I get to get

0:38:14.880 --> 0:38:16.120
<v Speaker 3>the gist. I don't need thirty more.

0:38:16.960 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Matt, some some business by the Steelers. Yesterday we did

0:38:20.280 --> 0:38:22.600
<v Speaker 2>mention part of this, but it's now been confirmed by

0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:25.960
<v Speaker 2>the team. Nothing earth shattering, but always worth noting. Throughout

0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:29.680
<v Speaker 2>this process. The Steelers claimed two players off of waivers yesterday,

0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:34.160
<v Speaker 2>wide receiver Colton Dowell from San Francisco and the one

0:38:34.160 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 2>that we mentioned before we got off air, tight end

0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Lance Mason from Seattle, Okay, both off of waivers, both

0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:44.880
<v Speaker 2>out of the NFC West. Oddly enough, Dowell was selected

0:38:44.920 --> 0:38:46.960
<v Speaker 2>by the Tennessee Titans in the seventh round of the

0:38:47.040 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty three NFL Draft. He's spent time with the Titans,

0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:53.560
<v Speaker 2>with the Ravens, and with the San Francisco forty nine Ers.

0:38:54.080 --> 0:38:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Played his college ball at U T. Martin and then Mason,

0:38:57.920 --> 0:39:01.080
<v Speaker 2>as we talked about a little bit on on yesterday's show,

0:39:01.200 --> 0:39:04.279
<v Speaker 2>was an undrafted free agent of the Seahawks after this

0:39:04.360 --> 0:39:07.839
<v Speaker 2>past draft out of Wisconsin. With that Matt, the team

0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:11.480
<v Speaker 2>released wide receiver At Perry and one of the guys

0:39:11.480 --> 0:39:13.920
<v Speaker 2>that we liked watching over the past year or two,

0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 2>tight end JJ Gallbreath.

0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and both those guys have been around a little bit,

0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:20.239
<v Speaker 3>and I think they have a must must have a

0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:22.799
<v Speaker 3>firm grasp of what they are and what they can

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:25.920
<v Speaker 3>or can't be. So turn page, you know, churning the

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:28.480
<v Speaker 3>bottom the roster. Maybe you find something. I don't know

0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:31.000
<v Speaker 3>a ton about these news guys that have just been added,

0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:34.560
<v Speaker 3>but we'll be getting eyeballs on them. I would imagine

0:39:34.880 --> 0:39:37.000
<v Speaker 3>both have to be special team.

0:39:37.440 --> 0:39:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Ye, absolutely absolutely. I think there's still we talked. We've

0:39:41.320 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 2>talked about this a little bit over the last few days.

0:39:43.239 --> 0:39:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Churnin looking for a viable tight end who they can

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:50.720
<v Speaker 2>trust on the field and contribute to special teams. Maybe

0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:53.640
<v Speaker 2>the Connor Hayward type role, right, and then I think

0:39:53.840 --> 0:39:56.000
<v Speaker 2>same church, different pew at safety as.

0:39:55.920 --> 0:39:57.919
<v Speaker 3>Well, safety as well. Yeah, I don't know that the

0:39:57.920 --> 0:40:00.479
<v Speaker 3>receiver they just signed has a clear path, but maybe

0:40:00.520 --> 0:40:02.320
<v Speaker 3>get in the practice squad. I mean, remember the practice

0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:04.879
<v Speaker 3>squads are large now since COVID, so yep, a lot

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:07.759
<v Speaker 3>of these dudes that I always find that interesting on

0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:10.359
<v Speaker 3>cutdown day, like, oh man, we lost that guy. I like, yeah,

0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:12.400
<v Speaker 3>but they signed thirteen dudes off practice squad. I mean

0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:14.680
<v Speaker 3>probably gonna be back one.

0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Or two more tweets here, Matt to hit before we

0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:18.680
<v Speaker 2>get up out of here for this Saturday and for

0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 2>this week, A reminder, no practice tomorrow, so we will

0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:25.000
<v Speaker 2>we'll have a Sunday off here. On SNR. But we'll

0:40:25.040 --> 0:40:29.040
<v Speaker 2>be back Monday for a big week next week Monday, Tuesday, practice,

0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:32.200
<v Speaker 2>day off Wednesday, and then that first preseason game at

0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:36.480
<v Speaker 2>home Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers. Michael Edesso,

0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:39.520
<v Speaker 2>one of our p ones, says, guys, am I crazy,

0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:41.880
<v Speaker 2>but didn't you say earlier this week that Eli Heidenreich

0:40:41.920 --> 0:40:43.839
<v Speaker 2>had a hammy and would be out for a week

0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:45.520
<v Speaker 2>or so. I don't know if it was one of

0:40:45.560 --> 0:40:47.759
<v Speaker 2>you guys or maybe Alan Saunders when you had him

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:51.239
<v Speaker 2>on and then actually just a minute or two ago,

0:40:51.719 --> 0:40:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Alan actually ripond responded and said he has a hammy injury,

0:40:54.719 --> 0:40:56.919
<v Speaker 2>not sure about eta for a return, but doesn't seem

0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:57.720
<v Speaker 2>super severe.

0:40:57.800 --> 0:40:59.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I think I'm just glad we mentioned it because

0:40:59.680 --> 0:40:59.920
<v Speaker 3>we had.

0:41:00.320 --> 0:41:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's so so far, Matt. I think there's been

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:07.400
<v Speaker 2>a couple of those, you know, Maxie Haner, Brandon Eckles,

0:41:08.480 --> 0:41:15.280
<v Speaker 2>all those guys. Looks like he's not in pads tonight.

0:41:15.360 --> 0:41:17.040
<v Speaker 2>According to he's there, but not.

0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:18.960
<v Speaker 3>In big sense for the day off tomorrow. I mean,

0:41:19.000 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 3>anyone is questionable. I would not play tonight off tomorrow.

0:41:22.080 --> 0:41:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I completely completely agree with you on that one.

0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:27.200
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna have to be on top of Monday attendance

0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:28.439
<v Speaker 3>big time.

0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:31.879
<v Speaker 2>It looks like Jakwan Brisker is not dressed for practice either,

0:41:32.239 --> 0:41:35.800
<v Speaker 2>as well as Brandon Eckles, like we mentioned, no chance,

0:41:35.800 --> 0:41:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure Max is not. I would I wouldn't think Max,

0:41:38.360 --> 0:41:40.799
<v Speaker 2>because yesterday Mike McCarthy said they were hoping to see

0:41:40.840 --> 0:41:41.560
<v Speaker 2>him again Monday.

0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so you know Monday's target.

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:46.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a bummer for all of you who were down

0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:48.840
<v Speaker 2>there and hoping to get your first look at these guys.

0:41:48.920 --> 0:41:51.600
<v Speaker 2>But at the same time, I think it's not uncommon.

0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:56.080
<v Speaker 2>We all we all understand that, uh every year, but

0:41:56.239 --> 0:41:58.920
<v Speaker 2>especially under new head coach Mike McCarthy. You got to

0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:01.840
<v Speaker 2>make it to September to the starting line healthy and

0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:05.600
<v Speaker 2>and that feels feels like a real part of this camp,

0:42:05.680 --> 0:42:06.799
<v Speaker 2>certainly for the new head coach.

0:42:07.120 --> 0:42:11.719
<v Speaker 3>Assumings injuries not as serious as originally thought. If he's

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:14.319
<v Speaker 3>back Monday or Tuesday or whatever, I still think he's

0:42:14.360 --> 0:42:16.279
<v Speaker 3>got a pretty clear path to be in the week

0:42:16.320 --> 0:42:16.840
<v Speaker 3>one starter.

0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Same. You don't want to kick that can too far

0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:19.480
<v Speaker 2>down the road, right.

0:42:19.440 --> 0:42:22.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to waiting if he misses the preseason game.

0:42:22.200 --> 0:42:24.600
<v Speaker 2>If he misses two practices, three practices not the end.

0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:25.200
<v Speaker 3>Of the potato.

0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:27.800
<v Speaker 2>If he misses two weeks then it becomes.

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:29.640
<v Speaker 3>A different the games, the ones I don't want to miss.

0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:32.319
<v Speaker 2>Last one here goes to Mike. Do you guys think

0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:34.680
<v Speaker 2>the lack of Michael Pittman junior flair at camp so

0:42:34.760 --> 0:42:37.760
<v Speaker 2>far could be some gamesmanship by the Steelers not featuring

0:42:37.840 --> 0:42:40.719
<v Speaker 2>him as much so other eyes can't see him before

0:42:40.760 --> 0:42:44.560
<v Speaker 2>the season starts. Also two great album covers, Allman Brothers

0:42:44.600 --> 0:42:47.319
<v Speaker 2>Live at the Fillmore East and any Molly Hatchet cover.

0:42:48.920 --> 0:42:50.960
<v Speaker 3>I was never a huge Hatchet fan, but yeah, they're

0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:51.560
<v Speaker 3>kind of known.

0:42:51.440 --> 0:42:55.120
<v Speaker 2>For always flying under the radar. Yeah, I don't think

0:42:55.160 --> 0:42:58.080
<v Speaker 2>so as much with that stuff anymore. I just the

0:42:58.200 --> 0:43:00.759
<v Speaker 2>book book is out on everybody.

0:43:00.880 --> 0:43:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, probably, but I've always I've even mentioned it, like

0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:07.840
<v Speaker 3>it is there a reason Ramsey's not out here because

0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:10.160
<v Speaker 3>we don't want to divulge to the world what we're

0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:13.399
<v Speaker 3>our intentions are with him. No one's quite said what

0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:15.839
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna do, especially when I'm tying four defensive backs

0:43:15.880 --> 0:43:18.440
<v Speaker 3>on the field and Motes would be proud. I do

0:43:18.480 --> 0:43:21.520
<v Speaker 3>think there's gonna be things, a lot of things that

0:43:21.520 --> 0:43:23.359
<v Speaker 3>we're not gonna be privy to or be telling you

0:43:23.360 --> 0:43:25.640
<v Speaker 3>guys about that when they get to the South side

0:43:25.680 --> 0:43:30.480
<v Speaker 3>portion of TI. Yeah, will be more stuff they don't

0:43:30.480 --> 0:43:31.840
<v Speaker 3>want anybody to see. Yeah, you know.

0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:33.520
<v Speaker 2>And I don't get me wrong, I don't want to

0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:36.080
<v Speaker 2>downplay that. I know that that is real. Yes, I

0:43:36.160 --> 0:43:38.359
<v Speaker 2>just don't know. Okay, it's a unique environment that any

0:43:38.400 --> 0:43:40.399
<v Speaker 2>it could be a raven scout in the seat. There

0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:43.480
<v Speaker 2>absolutely could. But even if you keep everything hidden and

0:43:43.560 --> 0:43:46.640
<v Speaker 2>under wraps and secret and quiet, you don't think after

0:43:46.880 --> 0:43:49.000
<v Speaker 2>the first two weeks against Atlanta and New England, by

0:43:49.040 --> 0:43:51.040
<v Speaker 2>the time you go to Cincinnati September twenty seventh, they're

0:43:51.040 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna know what you're doing. I mean, right, you know,

0:43:53.080 --> 0:43:53.560
<v Speaker 2>like I just.

0:43:53.920 --> 0:43:55.200
<v Speaker 3>And they're gonna have their ideas too.

0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:58.959
<v Speaker 2>Again right, The people that make these decisions are much

0:43:59.000 --> 0:44:01.120
<v Speaker 2>more in tune to the football process and the league

0:44:01.200 --> 0:44:02.960
<v Speaker 2>and how all that works than I am. But I

0:44:03.000 --> 0:44:05.760
<v Speaker 2>do always kind of I think there's too much stock

0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:08.120
<v Speaker 2>put into that stuff, because even if you are hiding

0:44:08.160 --> 0:44:10.480
<v Speaker 2>some secrets up your sleeve with Jalen Ramsey, with Michael

0:44:10.480 --> 0:44:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Pittman Jr. By the time you get to the end

0:44:12.640 --> 0:44:14.560
<v Speaker 2>of September, all that stuff's gonna be on film and

0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:17.279
<v Speaker 2>so maybe maybe you caught your first opponent or two

0:44:17.360 --> 0:44:20.400
<v Speaker 2>a little unprepared. But in the grand scheme of things,

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's moving the needle all that much

0:44:22.600 --> 0:44:23.600
<v Speaker 2>for your overall success.

0:44:23.640 --> 0:44:25.640
<v Speaker 3>I just don't think they want us in the whole

0:44:25.680 --> 0:44:28.520
<v Speaker 3>world talking about it like we know exactly what ram Oh,

0:44:28.520 --> 0:44:30.200
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna be the free safety and ours four guys man,

0:44:30.200 --> 0:44:31.480
<v Speaker 3>at least let people think about it.

0:44:31.560 --> 0:44:33.000
<v Speaker 2>There's definitely some truth to that.

0:44:33.520 --> 0:44:33.759
<v Speaker 3>Matt.

0:44:33.800 --> 0:44:35.480
