WEBVTT - Segment 2: Practice Observations

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back. I'm Dale Allie. He is Matt Williamson. This

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.799
<v Speaker 1>is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio and ESPN nine

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>seventy our live ongoing coverage of Steelers training camp practices

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>here at Saint Vincent College and this practice session winding down.

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>But we still have one more uh competitive one, Yeah,

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 1>one more competitive going on as we speak. Those at

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the offense and the defensive backs down at the other

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 1>end of the field. You're working a little red zone

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>nine on seven. We're getting a lot of one on ones,

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of one on ones today.

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I don't know if Manny Jones has a spot here,

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 2>but I found it interesting he was just working as

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 2>a as an end. I mean he was working against

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 2>a tackle coming off the ball, as you know, have

0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 2>an edge guy, Yeah.

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>And getting another one of those guys that has some

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>U has some NFL playing time on his belt, that

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>is down the depth chart with his team. Because there's

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:07.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them, they get a lot, I really do.

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>That's Ryan McCullum getting some snapping here in this one.

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Who's he battling there? So I couldn't be I couldn't

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 2>get a good view of his numbers.

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Like sixty six.

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:25.960
<v Speaker 1>That would be uh James, yeah, Wana, why I'm glad

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>you said that.

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that it was right, but I did

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 2>say it works for me. Yeah. So he's listed six five,

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 2>three oh five. He doesn't look that to me. He

0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 2>looks stumpier, but he's a newcomer, right.

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's been with him the whole time.

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I believe, no has it.

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Okay, that's the first time we've mentioned him.

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 2>First, I've said his name.

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so we go, okay, maybe we just avoided saying

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>his name.

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 2>I won't say it again.

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Anyway, so we get a little uh here we

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 1>go first down action here as they're calling this, get

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>the ones against the ones.

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>This is the one you're saying was move the ball.

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>That's what it's. It's titled move the ball from four

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.959
<v Speaker 1>four one to four tenth. So they're a little behind

0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 1>schedule here, but that's okay. That gives us a little

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>bit more.

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Right, there's been a good long practice.

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, Okay, we got ones on ones and uh, who's

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>it inside linebacker? We get Holcombe is out there? Who's

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>he out there with? Is is it with Roberts or

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>is he with looking here? Right, now I'm still only

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>seeing one could be a dime. Paralys is out there though,

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's Parlie and her big are the outside linebacker.

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this isn't the true number one.

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 1>D well all the defensive backs ever they are.

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that's Alexander on the second level. No, that's Roberts,

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>that's Roberts.

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's the snap and move of the moving the pocket.

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>And we saw that play the other night. The pick

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.239
<v Speaker 1>it gets to snap and immediately takes off to his

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 1>rent left.

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so they move, Yeah, they are moving.

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>They're moving the moving the sticks here on the so

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.679
<v Speaker 1>so that's about a five year five. Yeah, which is

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>a nice easy throw for him, and it's a nice

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>game on.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you stay ahead of the sticks. And frankly, the

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 2>defense doesn't hate it either. It's kind of a neutral play. Yeah,

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, second and five is very manageable for the defense.

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Minka is really the only big dog out there from

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the Patricks.

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Peterson's out.

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 2>The front seven is not the front seven is not,

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 2>but the secondary is the secondary and the second level

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>is the second level.

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.079
<v Speaker 1>And this was a run to Naja Harris and well

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that got.

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Blown up, blown up pretty well by Roberts.

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Landon Roberts came probably jumping in.

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 2>There, probably a negative one something like that. I think

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 2>that's behind the line of scrimmage. My first contact was made.

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they moved there.

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>They gave him credit for two or three yard game there.

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Though this may be somewhat scripted as well. You scripted

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.839
<v Speaker 2>out what you you want to play? Third and three,

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>third and medium, third and short? What do you want?

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>So this is a third and two not a good

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>situation for the defense, because no, he can do whatever.

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>And we see nausey Harris split out to the wide

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>or far far away from and now he comes. He

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>motions into the backfield and takes holcom in with him

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>scrimmage like he's gonna blitz here. So we'll see what

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 1>what he does here. And he he goes out with

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>with Harris.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was being the whole way, I guess, Oh, make.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>It fit Patrick going up to it looked like he

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.359
<v Speaker 1>was he was going to nausey here. I think he

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 1>was right and makeing Fitzpatrick undercut that midway through the pass.

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>It was only just.

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Totally read it and come flying across the field swatted

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.599
<v Speaker 2>it down. It was interesting I wanted to see Nausey

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 2>in that situation because you don't see him. I know

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>he can do it. It just hasn't occurred a lot

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>in his heeler career. One on one with the linebacker

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.679
<v Speaker 2>wheel wheel route. He's discouraged too. He wanted a shot

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 2>to make a play. Yeah, his ball skills are really good,

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and Holkom did a nice job on that.

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>He did he initially he initially thought, you know, just

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 1>thumped the right tackle, and then he saw Harris taking

0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>off out of the backfield and turned him around with him.

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 2>And why I was going with that is I think

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Kenny's trying to throw back shoulder to Naugy like that

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>would have been fun to see.

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we get the second team defense out there. Now,

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>who's that at quarterback? Is I still pick it?

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a match.

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so Tribiscus they get twos against twos. Here we

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>get some motionary motion to Austin. Austin screaming across the formation.

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Jaylen Warren slithers through the hole. There they're gonna give him.

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>They give them there looks like by the game of six.

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it looked like a good hole. But then louder

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Milk kind of put his hands up like, hey, I

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 2>could have got him.

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna call that seven. That's where Marcella is marking

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>it there, so it's be second and three here. But

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 1>nice little run there.

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>He gets good play design too, he gets skinny quick. No,

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 2>you're right, does a good.

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Job of getting lost in the hole. He's gonna line

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 1>up to Trubisky's right this time. Double receivers to the left,

0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:01.039
<v Speaker 1>single receiver to his right. Get a tight end to

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the left side of the formation as well. There's the

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>snap and he's looking left. Gets it out there. Yeah,

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>nice to throw and catch it by Austin. That gets

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:10.799
<v Speaker 1>the first down.

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Well away from his body. Yep, not a bad throw either.

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Not if they get the first down, they're staying on

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the field. Trubisky in the second unit saying on the

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>field here. He walks him up to the line, scream

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>he's no huddle on that time.

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 2>A little flip. Nice work there. Forty eight. Rochet played

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:29.279
<v Speaker 2>that one.

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Rochet did a nice shob of sniffing that out. Yeah,

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.119
<v Speaker 1>he had the motion to one side or the faked

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>hand off to the running back, and Trubisky turned and

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>flipped the ball to Austin who had come behind him

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>behind the formation.

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Really get ahead of steam for that guy. Yeah, but

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 2>now Rochet did not crash down on it.

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a short game there on that one. Yeah, we

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 1>got maybe one or two yards and nine yeah, yeah,

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>second and eight, so he got two yards there. Now

0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 1>he has worn to his left in the shotgun.

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I might take a shot to Austin.

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Here we get some motion by gunner roal Chewsky from

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>right to left. He goes to the slot on the left.

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Side, and safety recognized the Austin threat looking down the middle.

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I think they wanted to take a shot to Austin,

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 2>but the safety just kept cheating, cheating, cheating at the snap.

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 1>And that opened up Cody White though about fifteen yards

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>down the field in the middle, down the seam a

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit.

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 2>It worn't care by the offense.

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>That takes him down another first down down to the

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine to Bisky.

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Looks like you guy, it's been around the block.

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah again, not huddling them again. They get that motion

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>behind the quarterback to Austin and this time he hands

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>it off to Warren instead. Warren goes for a short game.

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was Leo. He really got the Matt made

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 2>a nice play there.

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>The defense subbing some guys in, as is the offense here,

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Spencer Anderson coming off.

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 2>We had a nice practice, okay.

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Marshall coming on as well. Offense huddling this time.

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>They had huddled before, so once they uh, once they

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>get some subs in there, you might as well huddle up.

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Roderick Jones in there. But you got a couple of

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 2>the threes mixed in.

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Anthony McFarlane now in the backfield behind Tribisky is under center,

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and he fakes the handoff and goes right down the miscommunication,

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>misscommunication between Trubisky and boy boy Can ran a curl

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 1>and uh, Trubisky threw it like it was a scene.

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like he was going there from the start play

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 2>action boom, that's where he wanted to go.

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>And it was single single coverage there right right.

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 2>So I assume he ran the wrong route.

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>That might be a read route.

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I imagine. I think it's on the fly adjustment that

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm guessing the receiver screwed up. Okayhich was awful decisive.

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>We got third and long here. Now McFarland to Trubisky's

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 1>right in the shotgun. We get some motion there. William

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>right's left by Williams, he's like a four or five

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>guy by.

0:08:55.679 --> 0:09:00.719
<v Speaker 2>The way, I know he's he can play Oh good

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.560
<v Speaker 2>pass rushing big Yeah, and that goes incomplete.

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>That's fourth down. That'll do that.

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I was I was watching Williams there and killibrew did

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:11.679
<v Speaker 2>a really nice job of them tied him up with

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the line of scrimmage and screwed up his timing. Yeah,

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 2>he's walk. We can do this with the third team.

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Now they're going to do let's the first team do

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 2>it again. I see looks like Kenny's he's putting his

0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 2>helmet back. Yeah, it looks like Kenny's getting ready here.

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>It looks like they're going to give them another shot.

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:25.080
<v Speaker 2>I like this period.

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 1>They're going to start here again. At the thirty.

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 2>A couple will be first down, unhappy, offensive people coming

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 2>to the sidelines, kind of slow hanging their hat.

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>It's a tough period though, because I don't know how

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>much like Trubisky went went no huddle there a little bit,

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and we saw the same play twice. We just saw

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>a different variation of that same play. Like is that

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>how they're you know, is that an option for the

0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 1>quarterback is he can either hand it off to the

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:55.599
<v Speaker 1>back or he flips it to this.

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 2>I assume Matt Canada is saying, tempo, temple, let's go.

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:00.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, we got them how we want to you know,

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I assume that that's in on the fly call, or

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 2>you got the defensive personnel in the game, you wanted to.

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Play action at pocket. Oh nice job there by making

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Fitzpatrick breaking. It looked like he was going to be there. Yeah,

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 1>pickt had time. It was a nice throw and as

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Patrick closed late.

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.559
<v Speaker 2>And just a tremendous football player in the secondary.

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Ksey's letting him hear about it a little bit.

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Kenny could have been a little earlier pulling the trigger,

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 2>but the way make it closed, I'm not sure it

0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 2>would have mattered.

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he may have been reading that.

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.319
<v Speaker 2>He basically was a man the man with pickings. By

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>the way, Yeah, most safeties don't succeed in that situation.

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Most aren't the best safety in the league. All right,

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.040
<v Speaker 1>So picket now in the shotgun with Nagia Harris to

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.240
<v Speaker 1>his left. We got trips down here to the right side,

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>a single receiver at the top. That's Deontay Johnson motion

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 1>by Harris's.

0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:58.319
<v Speaker 2>Safety blitz picked up. Well, yeah, make.

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 1>It coming on that one and they so they flip off.

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 2>I think he ran right into a guard, but he

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 2>was up. He was a singer too high for a while,

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 2>and they you know, kind of pull them all to ask.

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, coming at the the snap there. I haven't seen

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>him blitz a lot.

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.319
<v Speaker 2>No, No, he haven't. Yeah, I thought that's why it

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 2>was noteworthy. I mean, it's done a lot of different stuff,

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.079
<v Speaker 2>but their tenure for the first team offense. I need

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 2>to get Jalen Warren in there to his left, trips

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.440
<v Speaker 2>again to the right. See if he motions anybody this

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.079
<v Speaker 2>time doesn't look like it. No, he takes a snap straight. Oh,

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>gets pressure, Yeah, but he rolls away from it.

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh past the Deontay Johnson broken up. There is that

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.560
<v Speaker 1>making Fitzpatrick again? Make us down here.

0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.679
<v Speaker 2>That was Levi Wallace. Yeah, a really nice player. Good

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.679
<v Speaker 2>good series by the defense. Yeah, yeap.

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Casey's given Deontay Johnson the business are little gives him

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>a little hugging. Johnson says, get at him. Johnson's signal

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>is that Coach Tomlin and Mike tom walking Deontay away

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.839
<v Speaker 1>from the defense or the Yeah, the defense a lot,

0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 1>but that might have been a situation where something with

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>dinner was.

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 2>I had that feeling, you know, like push ups or lobster.

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.079
<v Speaker 1>Well tonight, that's where that.

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't shock me if we go to dinner like, yeah.

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 1>The defense is still giving it to the offense.

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, d one that period, that's for sure. They're letting

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the whole world now.

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>They're patting themselves on the back, Mike Tom bringing the

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>team together there and again good practice competition periods like that.

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Not everyone does it to that degree around the league,

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 2>and it's.

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.319
<v Speaker 1>It's it's good natured competition.

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 3>It is.

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm sure they're I've seen situations working pretty good.

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I've seen situations before where the you know, the offense

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and defense didn't get along.

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that's not in the case, especially this late

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:51.720
<v Speaker 2>in the camp.

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, guys are you know, tired of seeing each other,

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.559
<v Speaker 1>sired of hearing from the same guys. Case, He's he's

0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 1>a little.

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Little matt it's a little stinger too, man.

0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, But it's all in fun and a good practice

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 1>served by the Steelers here and they got it in

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.679
<v Speaker 1>no rain throughout the course of this practice, if it's

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>coming or not.

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 2>But it kind of looks like it.

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.720
<v Speaker 1>It is cloudy here. I'll tell you what. The field

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 1>crew has done a great.

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Job, they really have. It looks like it's hardly been

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 2>played on.

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I don't know how they've done it,

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 1>because we've gotten a pretty good amount of rain over

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the course of this camp and then followed by yeah,

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of use and periods of sun right after

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>that usually is bad for the grass when you get

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the rain and then the heat rate after it, and

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.199
<v Speaker 1>of course you're still cutting it. But they've done a

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 1>great job of keeping this thing in shape.

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 2>No, they have. It's always impressive because we go late,

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, way after practice, and the work they put

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 2>in post practice every day is very impressive. Yeah.

0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, But we're going to get to another break now.

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.200

<v Speaker 1>right right the rest of the season.

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Same with us. We have two more drives after today.

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Right from here, I get.

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 1>To watch a lot of practices.

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, you can see a lot of practice, I know

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 2>that part. But in terms of our broadcasting schedule.

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting the live broadcasting from practice, that will be that

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>will be.

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Ended, that will be ended after Thursday. Yes, so we've

0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 2>got today, the rest of the day and Wednesday, Thursday.

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes stuff Matt I mentioned earlier in the show the

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Steelers making some roster moves. They are not alone.

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 2>We saw it.

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 1>We've seen some movement here in the running back markets.

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>A couple of days here, Dalvin Cook signing with the Jets.

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he got eight million dollars.

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 2>He's got a legit deal, yeah, like starter money, right.

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 1>And then we saw Ezekiel Elliott sign with the Patriots

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 1>at I believe four million dollars.

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see his Okay, that sounds about right. Cook's

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 2>worth more than Zeke at this.

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but those two veteran running backs now off the market.

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think they're concerned about Breese Hall.

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, they actually activated Hall to the Pulpless today today,

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's the same time that they signed Dalvin Cook. Figure.

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 2>So the way I heard that expected to go is

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:49.320
<v Speaker 2>hopefully from their standpoint is they hope Cook's the guy

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.120
<v Speaker 2>right from the start, ease haul into it. But the

0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 2>way they're framing it, or the way you know New

0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 2>York media is framing it, is this is a team

0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 2>that plans on playing seventeen regular season games and quite

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 2>a few playoff games, and you know who knows if

0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 2>that happens or not. I also heard Rogers influence his

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 2>decision quite a bit. You know, he had reworked his

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.680
<v Speaker 2>contract recently played against Cook twice a year in the

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 2>NFC North, you know, year after year after year.

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 1>So Aaron Aaron Rodgers is essentially their GM now. It

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:20.680
<v Speaker 1>sure seems that way.

0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Ascalizard and Randall Cobb and all the guys

0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 2>that have added with him. But it's another weapon. I mean,

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that it is a huge indictment that

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Hall won't be a big time player this year, but

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 2>it's not a great sign for him, and it's a

0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:36.160
<v Speaker 2>good landing spot for Cook.

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, I think it makes them a better team. Yeah,

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>no doubt about it. I think I feel better about

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 1>where the Jets are at right now than I do

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins.

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 2>They're a lot deeper. Yeah, They're definitely a lot deeper.

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 2>And I think they have a better quarterback.

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, we talked about it last week. So Cam

0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Smith there, the cornerback who they were expecting to take

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Ramsey's while he is out injured his shoulder at

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.400
<v Speaker 1>training camp. Now, so now you're down two of your

0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:06.880
<v Speaker 1>top three cornerbacks. That was their first round draft pick

0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>this year. They're right back to square one at the

0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 1>defensive backs. Yeah, yeah, second, and that looked like a

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>real depth area.

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was gonna be Howard and Ramsey Smith

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 2>they could bring along slow and then Smith got thrust

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.040
<v Speaker 2>into the mix. Have you heard how bad the shoulder is.

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:24.919
<v Speaker 1>At least two weeks with the shoulder.

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so he's questionable for the sort of season. Yeah,

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I understand. Yeah, And you know they're pass rush and

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.160
<v Speaker 2>is gonna be key. That's not gonna be a huge

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Bulitz defense like he used to be. I mean, a

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:39.600
<v Speaker 2>big scheme change. With Fangio taking over, they basically, even

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 2>though Flora is left and obviously was here last year,

0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 2>they kept his system last year with one of his assistants,

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 2>so they're learning a lot on the fly. And Thoughts

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Corner was gonna be a huge week or strength, now

0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 2>we'll see. I mean it definitely. Ramsey's not gonna be around.

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:56.400
<v Speaker 2>We know that. And you know I do like where

0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:57.919
<v Speaker 2>the Jets trap better than Miami the more I think

0:17:57.920 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I just feel, you know, I don't

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.400
<v Speaker 1>see three teams coming out of that division this year.

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't either. Does the Zeke thing change your mind

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.479
<v Speaker 2>at all about New England?

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Me? Neither.

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 2>I think he's pretty washed.

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.120
<v Speaker 1>So in fact, somebody tweeted out their their skill guys. Oh,

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I've really upgraded their skill guys, have they.

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 2>That's I think it's like bottom six or seven skill

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:24.159
<v Speaker 2>guys in the league. Yeah, I mean to me, it's

0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 2>still Stevenson and everybody else in that.

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean you're still counting on DeVante Parker and

0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:29.359
<v Speaker 1>guys like that.

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, right, with all respect to Juju, he's not a one, right,

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:32.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's shick.

0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:36.200
<v Speaker 1>He got hurt yesterday and yeah that's a separated shoulder.

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:37.119
<v Speaker 1>He's out for a while.

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how much you've paid the attention to

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Taekwon Thornton. It was their second round pick last year.

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:43.640
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of talk that he might not even

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:47.720
<v Speaker 2>make the team. Drafting wide receivers again, brutal. I mean

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.440
<v Speaker 2>to put in perspective, like he was a second round

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.440
<v Speaker 2>pick last year. He runs like a four to two

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.439
<v Speaker 2>thin dude. So they rested in the preseason their first

0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 2>three receivers and Thornton still is the third re season,

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:02.800
<v Speaker 2>you know. So I mean with three guys out of

0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.680
<v Speaker 2>the mix and two receiver sets, he wasn't even out there,

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.719
<v Speaker 2>you know. So there's not even really a youngster to

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.360
<v Speaker 2>say ready to grab and take it. Take a hold

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:15.080
<v Speaker 2>of things. I mean, their defense looks great, but I'm

0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:16.639
<v Speaker 2>with you. I don't think three teams come out of

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:20.159
<v Speaker 2>that division. And if I'm the Bills, sure these teams

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:23.120
<v Speaker 2>look more frightening than they have been. But I still

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 2>feel pretty confident I'm the best team in the East.

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I do too. Yeah, I think they're the most

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're a veteran team. I think they're a

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 1>complete team. You know, it's just they get the best quarterback.

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.880
<v Speaker 2>They get the best quarterback. They have the I don't

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:40.640
<v Speaker 2>know if I say the best defense, but a really

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 2>good defense. Get Von Miller back. I mean that goes

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 2>a long way as well. Ken Kaid's look good. I

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.360
<v Speaker 2>mean I'm kind of interested to watch him against Steelers two.

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I still think their other receivers are so so looks

0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 2>like Shakiir's taken over as the third guy. I think

0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:56.959
<v Speaker 2>you and I both are really high on him. When

0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 2>he came out of school. I was shocked he fell

0:19:58.520 --> 0:19:59.240
<v Speaker 2>as long as they did.

0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I've heard different reports. I've heard he's not the third

0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:03.359
<v Speaker 1>guy in Buffalo really.

0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Hasty was the one that they had a lot

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:06.240
<v Speaker 2>of hope for.

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:08.640
<v Speaker 1>It's not him either. It's a it's a veteran guy.

0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Let me let me get the Bills depth chart. We'll

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>talk more about them as wos.

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 2>On Yeah, right right. Dave Davis is the two, which

0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I think he's an overrated guy, but.

0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:21.120
<v Speaker 1>It's been from what I saw and what they started

0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.360
<v Speaker 1>in the last game, Trent Sherfield is actually.

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Really yeah, okay, interesting because Shakir played put up numbers

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 2>in this past game.

0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Sherfield again, you know who do they who they trust?

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:37.360
<v Speaker 1>You know who they trust in that spot? They they

0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:39.159
<v Speaker 1>lost all their slot guys from last year, and I

0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:42.160
<v Speaker 1>think I think we all just assumed that, you know that, well,

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.720
<v Speaker 1>in the second year, you would expect that Shakiro would

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 1>move into that spot. Yeah, Sherfield started the last game.

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's gonna be yeah, without question.

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So, uh, that's gonna be a good challenge for

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers on Saturday against the Buffalo Bills. Again, a

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:02.159
<v Speaker 1>team that, uh, you know, everybody expects to be in

0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>content at least.

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's a top four team in any power ranking.

0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you would think that they're gonna they're gonna be

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 1>in contention, not just to win that division, but probably

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 1>right being contention to win the Super Bowl.

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:14.920
<v Speaker 2>Saw what they did to the Steelers in the regular

0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 2>season last year too, Yeah, it wasn't pretty. So I

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 2>am looking forward to that game quite a bit. And

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 2>the depth too. I mean, I still think third and

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 2>fourth quarter stuff that we're gonna see from the Steeler

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:29.159
<v Speaker 2>team is pretty favorable. I mean, it's gonna be a

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:31.280
<v Speaker 2>nice test for a Steeler row line early. I don't

0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 2>know if we'll see von Miller, but they got a

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of first round picks, big money guys on the

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.440
<v Speaker 2>defensive line. They haven't quite got that money out of them.

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:42.440
<v Speaker 2>But I definitely think they're the two best divisions in

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 2>the league, the AFC North and in East.

0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's gonna be tough, I mean do Okay, So

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.680
<v Speaker 1>if we don't think more than two teams come out

0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>of the East, do more than two teams come out

0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 1>of the AFC North.

0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it just depends what you think of the Chargers.

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 2>If the Chargers are a playoff team, well drives up

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.120
<v Speaker 2>pretty quick. Yeah, right, I tend to think they are

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.960
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers, but you could still get two in the

0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:11.720
<v Speaker 2>North to in the East to in the West. I

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:13.920
<v Speaker 2>don't think anyone thinks too in the South is in.

0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 1>The car No, I don't think. I don't think there's two.

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.120
<v Speaker 2>So I don't see Denver the Raiders as a playoff team.

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I really. To me again, I can't get past

0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not in on the Ravens this year. As you know,

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.399
<v Speaker 1>I think that you know that the playoff spot, the

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:36.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, potential playoff spot in the AFC North. I

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 1>think right now it's still the everybody's saying the Bengals

0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:40.000
<v Speaker 1>are still the best team in.

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.080
<v Speaker 2>The North, and as it stands right now, I think

0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:42.440
<v Speaker 2>they are.

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Things can change things.

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I also throw injuries still looming.

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:48.400
<v Speaker 1>It comes down to Steelers versus Browns, and.

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you're pretty you seem pretty confident that you're

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:55.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna put the Ravens forth in your final predictions. I am, okay,

0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm still kicking it around. But their defense really worries.

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:00.879
<v Speaker 2>It's very concerned.

0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:01.119
<v Speaker 3>More.

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm not sold on their offensive line being ready

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to do what they want to do.

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:08.080
<v Speaker 2>This year, even you know, I think that's part of

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:10.520
<v Speaker 2>much different responsibilities.

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're gonna go there, going from being a fifty

0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to fifty run pass team to potentially being more conventional

0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, sixty to forty past the run.

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 2>And having red and a second and third tight end

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:22.840
<v Speaker 2>help you all the time too, and you know coming

0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:26.680
<v Speaker 2>forward all the time. Yeah, I could see the line.

0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:29.879
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the lines. And we've talked about this

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 2>that when you see these O line rankings, they're often

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:36.600
<v Speaker 2>well above the Steelers and that one doesn't compute to me.

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:39.000
<v Speaker 2>And I don't get it. I get the Browns. I

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 2>mean it's a good line. I think it's a declining

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 2>line slowly. I think the Bengals will put a lot

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:48.120
<v Speaker 2>into their line, but it's probably average. I would take

0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:49.560
<v Speaker 2>the Steelers line over the Bengals.

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 1>So the right now, the Browns are practicing against the

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Eagles this week. Oh are they getting ready for their

0:23:56.840 --> 0:24:02.119
<v Speaker 1>preseason game? Okay, yesterday defensive end Miles Garrett left with

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>a foot in Yeah. Sure, Jack Conklin has a possible concussion,

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 1>and Denzel Ward suffering from an illness.

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:12.120
<v Speaker 2>He left practice early as well. So who knows what

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:14.840
<v Speaker 2>that means. But I saw Miles Garrett came out and

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:18.600
<v Speaker 2>was signing in signing for kids and stuff after. Yeah,

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 2>but he left practice in his fare foot Yeah yeah, yeah,

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 2>you know he's not putting a shoe on it.

0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I think the Browns are very I

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 1>think if you look at their starting lineup, you go, Okay,

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:33.199
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty good. But I don't know that they have

0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 1>any depth anywhere.

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 2>No, it's not great. He mentioned Conklin with the concussion possibly.

0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how long he hangs on either. He's

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.359
<v Speaker 2>kind of put together with you know, duck duct tape

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.080
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, wire, you know, I mean they I could

0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 2>see Dwad Jones end up being the right tackle sooner

0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:53.120
<v Speaker 2>than later.

0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:55.800
<v Speaker 1>They put James Hudson in to replace him when he Yeah,

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:58.480
<v Speaker 1>he's a third round draft pick a couple of years.

0:24:59.320 --> 0:25:01.320
<v Speaker 1>He's ahead of j on the death chart right now.

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:04.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, we'll see about day one. Jones, I don't know.

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 1>He's a massive human being and I think he's better

0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 1>than File who happens right, right, But I didn't get

0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:14.879
<v Speaker 1>to see enough of them at the Senior Bowl. Like

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 1>he had a good day in the first day of

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the Senior Bowl and then just shut it down.

0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that was all agent driven. Yeah, like, and it's

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.680
<v Speaker 2>funny is I liked him coming out, But I've also

0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.520
<v Speaker 2>heard he likes basketball a lot more than he likes football,

0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and you know, doesn't love the training aspect and likes food.

0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, and what's interesting about the Senior Bowl? And

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.240
<v Speaker 2>good for him, it's a good move. But if you

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 2>watch the Senior Bowl practice, for whatever reason, every rep

0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 2>he took, the opponents tried to go right down the

0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:43.200
<v Speaker 2>middle of him, like they didn't make him change directions.

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I get this, the biggest man out here, I'm gonna

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:47.960
<v Speaker 1>try to rush him, the bull rush him.

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I'm sure that these guys don't do a

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:52.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of you know, gearing up for the Senior Bowl.

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:54.360
<v Speaker 2>You may not even know the tackles you're going against.

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:56.639
<v Speaker 2>But just look at the human being. I mean, he

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:58.679
<v Speaker 2>makes all these big guys look tiny, Like, why am

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:00.199
<v Speaker 2>I going right right down the middle of them? They

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:02.720
<v Speaker 2>did time and time again. So he just shuts it

0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:05.720
<v Speaker 2>down and says, I have a little injury. I'm going home.

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you know, Yeah, I walked out mic drop. You

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 2>know it worked that perfect for you.

0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So it's gonna be interesting. I think in the

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:14.399
<v Speaker 1>AFC North it's gonna be a blast.

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:14.879
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I think the entire AFC playoff race is going to

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:21.719
<v Speaker 1>be interesting this year. You can't have the stumbles. No, right, right,

0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:24.680
<v Speaker 1>and you just can't. From week to week every game

0:26:24.760 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>is going to be important.

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:28.840
<v Speaker 2>They just are. They are. And again we've brought this

0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:33.200
<v Speaker 2>up numerous times. The AFC schedule for the Steelers is

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 2>quite favorable. Yeah, I think that's a huge advantage that

0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 2>some of these other teams that we're talking about for

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 2>playoff spots don't have.

0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 1>No, I agree as well. I mean, you know, if

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:45.320
<v Speaker 1>you just look at the Browns schedule as opposed to

0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers schedule, you think, oh, it can't be that different.

0:26:50.440 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 2>A couple of games that are different.

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Looking here at their at their non conference schedule, who

0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:58.040
<v Speaker 1>they play versus who the Steelers play, and that matches

0:26:58.119 --> 0:27:01.120
<v Speaker 1>up for them. They have to go to Denver. When

0:27:01.240 --> 0:27:03.000
<v Speaker 1>is that November twenty.

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:04.760
<v Speaker 2>At least it's not early in the season for them,

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, that's still a tough place to play. Yeah,

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what to make of Denver.

0:27:09.840 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 1>What's the other game they got to play? Chicago December seventeenth.

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Which could be a mucket up kind of game for sure.

0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean that could be a perfect game for Justin

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Field to go run around, you know in the Cleveland slop.

0:27:23.560 --> 0:27:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, we've seen it where the game was

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't matter. They're both the sloppiest fields in the league.

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:31.160
<v Speaker 1>We've seen some of those games in recent years in

0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland that where it's.

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Just, yeah, sometimes the weather is not advantaged.

0:27:35.480 --> 0:27:36.720
<v Speaker 1>You can't throw the football at all.

0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:40.400
<v Speaker 2>No, right, right, right. And obviously they're a very good

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:42.760
<v Speaker 2>running team, and Watson's a good runner as well, but

0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:47.760
<v Speaker 2>sometimes the weather in Cleveland late works as an equalizer.

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:50.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're already now they're more talented team than

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 2>the Bears. But if Miles Garrett can't get off the ball,

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 2>and when all of a sudden, you.

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Know you've got a running quarterback, and okay, we're just

0:27:57.840 --> 0:27:59.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna not even try to throw the ball. We're gonna

0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Austin fields just follow blockers left right.

0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 2>You would think the Bears would love them. I mean,

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:04.960
<v Speaker 2>that's bad conditioning.

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:07.400
<v Speaker 1>That's how the Bears beat San Francisco last year. And yeah,

0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:10.880
<v Speaker 1>that monsoon. Yeah right, So we'll see. Anyway, we're gonna

0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:12.359
<v Speaker 1>get to another break here. When we come back. We

0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 1>are going to hear from Spencer Anderson the interview with

0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:17.720
<v Speaker 1>him earlier. He is Matt Williamson, I am Dale Lallie

0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:20.000

<v Speaker 1>and ESPN nine seventies.

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh by the way, Dale, I need some help for

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:26.480
<v Speaker 2>our fantasy focus. I need some help. I'll tell people

0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 2>about it later. Okay, all right, we'll get to that, lad,

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 2>all right, yes, but we're gonna take a break down.

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 2>We'll be back with more right after this. Welcome back.

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm Dale Lollie. He is Matt Williamson. We are live

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 1>from Steelers training camp here at Saint Pensive College where

0:28:43.920 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers I just finished up their practice session a

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:49.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit ago and earlier today had an opportunity to

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 1>catch up with Steelers rookie offensive lineman. And I say

0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 1>offensive lineman because.

0:28:53.760 --> 0:28:54.560
<v Speaker 2>It's a broad brush.

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, broad brush. He has played every position on the

0:28:56.920 --> 0:28:59.760
<v Speaker 1>offensive line at some point or another, Uh, including a

0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:00.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of center today.

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:04.440
<v Speaker 1>So let's hear from Spencer Anderson about how his transition

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:05.680
<v Speaker 1>is going here.

0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 2>He said, they basically you've played every spot on the

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 2>offensive line out here, but not so much as center.

0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:17.800
<v Speaker 2>You said, you got you a few snaps at center

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:19.840
<v Speaker 2>here and there, because they feel like that's they know

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:20.800
<v Speaker 2>you're comfortable there.

0:29:20.920 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:29:21.800 --> 0:29:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Uh, is it tough like when you find out each.

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Day where they want you to line up.

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I just hey, Anderson in there, Anderson in there.

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:32.440
<v Speaker 4>It's usually like a you know, probam. When you get

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 4>out there, it's like you're gonna be here.

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Good, you can be there today?

0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 4>Or is it you know sometimes just you know, I'm

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 4>thinking I'm in one spot and then uh, you know,

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:44.160
<v Speaker 4>I'll be repping the hold day like left tackle to say,

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:46.840
<v Speaker 4>and then you know I'll be going in that right

0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:47.680
<v Speaker 4>guard before then.

0:29:47.840 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 3>So it's like you got these two right guard, you

0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:51.200
<v Speaker 3>get the next four left tackle.

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 4>Okay, that's cool, men, But even like today, I was

0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 4>told I'll probably be a center today. So I was like, Cools,

0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 4>cool with me, and you know, just got to get

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 4>my feet high and uh be ready whenever I can.

0:30:03.120 --> 0:30:05.560
<v Speaker 2>He said, there says a lot about you, your ability

0:30:05.600 --> 0:30:08.600
<v Speaker 2>to do that and not just do it okay, four

0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:11.040
<v Speaker 2>reps here, three reps over there, Like the ability to

0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 2>do all that in the same practice that that's a

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:14.080
<v Speaker 2>that's a skill.

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:17.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's just uh just everything's flipped in your head.

0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:20.560
<v Speaker 3>You just kind of just kind of gotta, you know,

0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 3>just just keep.

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:26.440
<v Speaker 4>Your feet high and be ready. You know, obviously you know,

0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 4>Center being more more of a talk. Now i'm'a have

0:30:29.680 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 4>to uh you know, start locking in on you know,

0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 4>protection and uh id in and stuff like that, which

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:37.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I've been paying attention cause I'm I kind

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:40.800
<v Speaker 4>of envisioned this was gonna happen, and uh so I

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:42.600

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 4>protection rules and stuff like that, making sure everybody's on

0:30:45.600 --> 0:30:46.960

<v Speaker 4>You know you're gonna have to mess up to whatever,

0:30:53.640 --> 0:30:55.200
<v Speaker 4>but you know, I kind of wanna have it have

0:30:55.280 --> 0:30:57.040
<v Speaker 4>a strong grip of it when I first get out there.

0:30:57.160 --> 0:30:59.239
<v Speaker 2>Turn so about doing that in the game though, did

0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:01.880

<v Speaker 3>Sponsor the game?

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Right? Did they tell you you're gonna play three different sponsor?

0:31:04.920 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So Pat had told me right before the game.

0:31:09.920 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 4>get you inside first.

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:13.920
<v Speaker 3>So I was like, all right, cool. So I went

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 3>in inside first and I was like all right cool.

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 4>And then he was like, I mean, rep you was

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 4>how many drives you had to tackle, and I was like, nah,

0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:23.440
<v Speaker 4>just do a right guard for three drives. And he's like,

0:31:23.960 --> 0:31:25.840
<v Speaker 4>he's like, all right, he said, take a driver and tackle.

0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Alright, Like let's do it. And then that was doing

0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 3>the same drive that I was through the bomb.

0:31:30.600 --> 0:31:34.600
<v Speaker 4>Calverny and then uh, you know, he's like, I mean,

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 4>I mean drives, you had a tackle.

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:37.840
<v Speaker 3>I was like I had one. He's like, all right,

0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:41.600
<v Speaker 3>let's go out there like whatever.

0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 4>I mean, whatever the play is called. So I'm running

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:46.719
<v Speaker 4>not like I can. I'm not gonna complain about it.

0:31:46.760 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 2>So that where do you feel like you're the best at.

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Though I probably say like righting, Uh, everybody pat.

0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Asks me the same thing. It's just it depends on.

0:31:56.000 --> 0:31:59.160
<v Speaker 4>The play car you know, obviously, if you're going against

0:31:59.400 --> 0:32:02.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, the the premier pass questions of the league

0:32:02.760 --> 0:32:04.040
<v Speaker 4>and you know, the tjs of the world.

0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:07.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'd I'd rather be inside. But you know,

0:32:07.040 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 3>if only again this can, I'd rather be outside. So

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:13.000
<v Speaker 3>it all depends on the play called. I don't really have.

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:16.200
<v Speaker 4>Any preference, like I said before, as long as it's

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 4>on the field, it's cause it's fine with me. As

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 4>long as it's on the team final with me. You know,

0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm kind of had to adjust that throughout my college career.

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:27.120
<v Speaker 4>You know, some guys or right uh position limiteds P

0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 4>positions specific and you know, I don't wanna come out

0:32:30.320 --> 0:32:32.160
<v Speaker 4>in the field, or you know, we might only have

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:36.040
<v Speaker 4>uh a backup guard that can only play guard, and

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:38.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, and say how the followers, you know you

0:32:38.600 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 4>starting right guard. It's like, alright, no, i'm'a i'm'a pump

0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 4>out cause I'm like, I don't wanna. I don't wanna

0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:48.280
<v Speaker 4>be out because you know, our our next best player availabley.

0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Is a guard.

0:32:48.320 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 4>So I'm like, you know, I just bump out the

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 4>time of So I just look at it the same way.

0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:53.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean and Maryland we would.

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:55.760
<v Speaker 4>Have to some center troubles or nobody else wanted to

0:32:55.800 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 4>snap the ball or whatever.

0:32:57.080 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 3>The case was. And I'm like think, like h Spence

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 3>heard you can snap. I'm like, oh really, I'm like

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:04.760
<v Speaker 3>he where'd you hear that from?

0:33:04.800 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 4>You know, obviously I was a little hessitant at first

0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 4>in college, but it needed to be done, and yeah,

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 4>it was best for the team.

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:13.760
<v Speaker 4>I was told, you know, first gear I had was

0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:17.880
<v Speaker 4>against Penn State playing center, and uh, it was like, yeah,

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:20.640
<v Speaker 4>cause they had some guy they they're TAngelo or something

0:33:20.720 --> 0:33:22.920
<v Speaker 4>like that was supposed to be like their their guy.

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:25.240
<v Speaker 3>We didn't wanna. We wanted to show up the inside.

0:33:25.280 --> 0:33:30.800
<v Speaker 3>And I was just kind of like alright. They were like, yeah,

0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:32.320
<v Speaker 3>we'll move you back to Targoo next week.

0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:34.080
<v Speaker 4>And playing Michigan. I'm like, hey, I got to eight

0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 4>and hundred center in the job or the next thing,

0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, it was like, man, it looks so good

0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:38.640
<v Speaker 4>at singing.

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Might supna keep it there? I'm like, oh, so, you know.

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:44.240
<v Speaker 4>Like I said, you know, just getting out of myself

0:33:44.240 --> 0:33:47.479
<v Speaker 4>and getting into the team. It's pretty much it. It's

0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 4>just having a good knowledge of the playbook, cause not

0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:50.160
<v Speaker 4>everybody can do that.

0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:50.520
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:33:50.600 --> 0:33:52.720
<v Speaker 4>You kind of when you learn the Playbok and you

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 4>have the calls, they're like, alright, I know where to do.

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:55.960
<v Speaker 3>With my Tiger.

0:33:56.040 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 4>I know, like I know some siffic calls here and

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:01.200
<v Speaker 4>there they're at tagh. But then you don't always know.

0:34:01.680 --> 0:34:02.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean, even some guys on.

0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:04.360
<v Speaker 3>The team now and it's like a play is called

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:07.080
<v Speaker 3>if they were to move some positions, like I asked something.

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:09.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, hey, so I let me play at card.

0:34:09.600 --> 0:34:13.400
<v Speaker 4>They be like, bro, I couldn't couldn't tell you. So

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:15.840
<v Speaker 4>I got to know the whole time playbook like the

0:34:15.840 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 4>back of my hand, and I just feel like it's

0:34:17.600 --> 0:34:19.040
<v Speaker 4>more of a challenge.

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:21.799
<v Speaker 2>And I'm winning an Except they've had some guys here

0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:24.359
<v Speaker 2>over the years who in the role, in that kind

0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:27.040
<v Speaker 2>of role where they've been the backup all along and

0:34:27.120 --> 0:34:27.400
<v Speaker 2>that for a.

0:34:27.440 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Couple of years, they end up.

0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Kelvin Beacham started.

0:34:30.719 --> 0:34:33.720
<v Speaker 2>That way, Chris Ubert started that way, Matt Finler started

0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:34.880
<v Speaker 2>that way where they were the backup.

0:34:34.920 --> 0:34:37.879
<v Speaker 3>So along next thing, you know, that's how that's how

0:34:37.920 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 3>it is.

0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Somebody like, uh, during the right pre draft.

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:44.480
<v Speaker 4>Process, somebody had told me, you know, you remind me

0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:46.880
<v Speaker 4>a lot of Kelvin Beacham. And you know, me being

0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:50.320
<v Speaker 4>a football nerd who got one of these scouts is like, Paly.

0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 3>You know who it is.

0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:52.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, of course, I know it's playing for the

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:54.320
<v Speaker 4>car because I'm like, because I'm just a football nerd.

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 3>I know a lot of guys and uh yeah, and

0:34:57.520 --> 0:34:57.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm you.

0:34:57.840 --> 0:34:59.759
<v Speaker 4>Know, and I go look back at obviously I don't

0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:02.200
<v Speaker 4>know that career trajectory, but I know of him, so

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:03.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, I look back and I'm like, oh wow,

0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:06.080
<v Speaker 4>like this, but literally had the same.

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:08.560
<v Speaker 3>You know kind of profile, and it's like, you know.

0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:10.279
<v Speaker 2>If I mean Beach was a seven dround pickers, but

0:35:10.400 --> 0:35:12.000
<v Speaker 2>he was like a third to last pick in the draft.

0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:13.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so he's still playing. Yeah.

0:35:14.040 --> 0:35:16.680
<v Speaker 4>So sometimes you just gotta uh, you know, ride the

0:35:16.719 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 4>way before the for the storm calms. And like I said,

0:35:20.280 --> 0:35:23.240
<v Speaker 4>it's just been light on my feet and doing whatever's

0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 4>asking me because at the end of the day, it's

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:25.600
<v Speaker 4>all football.

0:35:25.920 --> 0:35:28.400
<v Speaker 2>The rarity about what you're doing, though it is usually

0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:31.520
<v Speaker 2>a good guy. They can play he could play four spots,

0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:33.600
<v Speaker 2>but he can't play left tackle, or should play four spots,

0:35:33.600 --> 0:35:34.440
<v Speaker 2>he can't play center.

0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:36.399
<v Speaker 1>You've done them all.

0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Yeah, Dan was uh uh. Every time somebody says that,

0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:42.720
<v Speaker 3>I just think it with Dan and told me he's.

0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Like, you know, playing right tackle him it was like

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:47.919
<v Speaker 4>wiping his wiping the butt in his leven and I'm

0:35:48.000 --> 0:35:48.680
<v Speaker 4>just thinking.

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Like, that's kind of how it is.

0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:52.799
<v Speaker 4>And it's just like I said, everything's just flipping in

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:56.600
<v Speaker 4>your head and you just kind of gotta uh reverse everything.

0:35:56.719 --> 0:35:58.359
<v Speaker 4>So I know the other day I had that falls start.

0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 4>It's because I'm sitting there, you know, in the huddle.

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:02.240
<v Speaker 4>I heard, you know, the cadence wasn't.

0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:04.840
<v Speaker 3>On the first hunt. I'm like, okay, cool, But I

0:36:04.840 --> 0:36:07.400
<v Speaker 3>get up to the line and obviously my mind explodes

0:36:07.480 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 3>cause I'm.

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:11.319
<v Speaker 4>Like way way hiddle, Like you know, everything's different, cause

0:36:11.360 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 4>you know it did all line. You have to be

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:16.800
<v Speaker 4>technically sound, and you know switching stances can alter you know,

0:36:16.880 --> 0:36:19.080
<v Speaker 4>cause you're like everything's backwards to your mind, Like if

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:20.719
<v Speaker 4>you're on the right side, you know, punch my right

0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:22.360
<v Speaker 4>hand then left, and.

0:36:22.440 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes you gotta switch it up. It's what I mean,

0:36:23.760 --> 0:36:25.319
<v Speaker 3>it's the NFL. You can't do the same things over

0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:25.680
<v Speaker 3>and over.

0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:28.200
<v Speaker 4>Right, So obviously you know you're like, wait, how did

0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:31.520
<v Speaker 4>I How do I change my setup on the opposite side?

0:36:31.520 --> 0:36:35.360
<v Speaker 4>And then said hut and you're like, oh, oh my goodness.

0:36:35.440 --> 0:36:37.880
<v Speaker 3>It's like, man, you didn't even you forgot I got.

0:36:37.760 --> 0:36:41.160
<v Speaker 4>The whole candence. But you know I'm making any excuses.

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:43.680
<v Speaker 4>That's what comes with the job, and uh, you know

0:36:43.760 --> 0:36:46.879
<v Speaker 4>that just gotta be better in most cases like that. Yeah,

0:36:47.520 --> 0:36:49.880
<v Speaker 4>like I said, just be hot on my feet, ready

0:36:49.880 --> 0:36:51.120
<v Speaker 4>to go, because at the end of the day, it's

0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:54.400
<v Speaker 4>all football, no matter whole position you're at, it's all

0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:55.279
<v Speaker 4>offensive line work.

0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, who you're going against.

0:36:56.840 --> 0:37:00.480
<v Speaker 4>Is different, you know, body type wise, but in the day,

0:37:00.760 --> 0:37:02.799
<v Speaker 4>the objective is to move a guy at a spot or

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:04.359
<v Speaker 4>protect the quarterbacks.

0:37:05.840 --> 0:37:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Good stuff there from Steelers Really Spencer Anderson a good

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:13.040
<v Speaker 1>head on his shoulders and understand time exactly what's being

0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:13.640
<v Speaker 1>asked of him.

0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Gonna be a light on your feet. I mean, he

0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:17.799
<v Speaker 2>doesn't no play to play snap the snap, you know,

0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:20.359
<v Speaker 2>game the game where he's gonna line up. But he's

0:37:20.360 --> 0:37:24.080
<v Speaker 2>been one of my favorite stories guys to talk about

0:37:24.200 --> 0:37:26.080
<v Speaker 2>during camp for sure, and I didn't think it was

0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:28.440
<v Speaker 2>a throwaway pick at the time, but I didn't expect

0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 2>him to be in, you know, in the mix, and

0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:31.359
<v Speaker 2>he's in the mix.

0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:33.360
<v Speaker 1>He's definitely in the mix. And keep an eye on

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:36.560
<v Speaker 1>him in Saturday's game, just to keep it as Matt

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and I have done here throughout training camp. Watch and

0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:40.360
<v Speaker 1>see where he lines up at during the game and

0:37:40.480 --> 0:37:43.279
<v Speaker 1>different from different from series to series. We're gonna get

0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:45.400
<v Speaker 1>to a break here. He is Matt Williamson, I am

0:37:45.480 --> 0:37:47.960
