Speaker 1: and by US.

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: Steel Practice on going in front of us. We a

9
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: little seven on seven here, Matt, little little skeleton action

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: maybe if you will as.

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: Uh QB one's hot still man.

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: QB one is slanging them out there.

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's coming out on time again seven on seven,

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 3: but still well. We talked about I don't know twenty minutes,

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: half hour ago, whatever it was that he put one

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: that hit Connor Hayward in the face mask and got intercepted.

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: That's how hard at ricochet.

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: H right, great throw, and it was totally on Hayward

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 3: not to have his head around ready to receive a

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: great throw. Well, I don't know if it's the same route,

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 3: but it's pretty similar. He put he threaded the needle

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 3: to Hayward and Hayward was very recipient at this time

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 3: around three or four. Here this while we were at break,

24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: where the ball's coming out fast. It's coming out quick,

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 3: it's decisive, much bigger level of comfort and frankly in

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: a seven on seven droll, even against the best defense

27
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: of all time, this is what you expect from eight. Yeah,

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 3: you know, this is just he's had. I'm sure he's

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: had a million practices like this in his career where

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 3: it's just boom boom, put it on him. There's another

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: one yep.

32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: Right hold on JJ gallbreath about twenty yards downfield on yeah.

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 3: Hit him and stride rope. Baby, ball's coming out on time.

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: We clicking.

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: I was watching the far side field too, where we

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: got one on ones going on with the offense. Yeah

37
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: and defense. This is again we wish that this was

38
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: closer for him.

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: Sometimes short change in the audience.

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: But I tell you what, another great rep by Troy

41
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: Faltanu against t J watt Man. Just he he is.

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: He is looking the.

43
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: Part that right tackle, I tell you, And it doesn't

44
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: get harder than that.

45
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: It's right. If he can hold his own against that guy,

46
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: he's gonna be just fine.

47
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I've been a real good practice for him.

48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: I tell you what, the you know, the idea of

49
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: end listen, it's it's still got to develop. You still

50
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: got to see it happen in stadium and this year

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: and moving forward. But the prospect of him and Fraser

52
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, being being mainstays of that offensive

53
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: line for the next decade is very enticing.

54
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: If they're the Castro Poalcy you know, those type of

55
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 3: dudes that just lifer Steelers.

56
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: And even if.

57
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: Better Oh yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. I mean no, so

58
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: I think that's one of the most encouraging thing going

59
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: on with the team overall, you know, big picture stuff.

60
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: Yes, no doubt, no doubt. Some of the journals down

61
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: on the sideline Matt are reporting that it looked like

62
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: a right hand injury for Will Howard, that he gave

63
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: a thumbs up as he was as he was leaving practice.

64
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: So hopefully nothing serious. All kind of precautionary there, but

65
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: as that.

66
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: Is a airmailed by Rudolph.

67
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 2: By Rudolph to to Miles killerbrew there. But yeah, hope

68
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: that worries.

69
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 3: Me with Howard. I mean again, I don't want him recent.

70
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 2: Time in this set. You want him to play a

71
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: lot on Saturday night.

72
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 3: Down and also when you hear right hand throwing, oftentimes

73
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: that is hit off a helmet or something like that.

74
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: And maybe he's fine, who knows. You said he gave

75
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: a thumbs up or whatever. Hopefully it's not a big deal.

76
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 3: But it don't love hearing that in this type of

77
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: setting because he probably hit it on a helmet.

78
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again this is just going off of what

79
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: we are total gut hearing from the reporters on the sidelines,

80
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: the people who are down there and keeping an eye

81
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: on these things. But what we do know is that

82
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: Will Howard did leave practice early and we've seen Skyler Thompson.

83
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: He's not back out there right now. We've seen Skyler

84
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: Thompson continue to work with the threes.

85
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: That's a great point about Jacksonville, though. You want him

86
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: out there.

87
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: Even if it just hinders him for this week. Right

88
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: that's you know, that's maybe five series, six series in

89
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,839
Speaker 2: a preseason game that he doesn't get to play, yes,

90
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: which is value for you know, it is not the

91
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: end of the world, but it's certainly valuable for a

92
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: guy like him at this stage in the game.

93
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: But the plan, I mean, it's not like Rogers are

94
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 3: going to play. But I mean the plan was to

95
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: make him have the bulk of it on purpose, you know.

96
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: Right, exactly exactly, so, Hey, hopefully all precautionary, All good,

97
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: We'll see him back out here.

98
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 3: Just walked off gingerly. No one's given him any attention though,

99
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: but he know something stepped on him.

100
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say he kind of it seemed

101
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: like he kind of fell maybe awkwardly when he was

102
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: making a catch on that last rep there from from

103
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph is Mason now next to a good throat

104
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: to Max Herlaman on the near side sideline, been trying

105
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: to little everything gay he is, He's a he's an

106
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: interesting one.

107
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: He's an interesting one.

108
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: As I'm trying to keep an eye on the far side.

109
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: In the middle of the state, I'm pretty sure, Hey.

110
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: They produce some good football players out there, and in

111
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: central Pennsylvania area, they have a uh, they have a

112
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: disgruntled linebacker who plays for the Dallas Cowboys.

113
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: That right, No more news on that front, No.

114
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: More news on that front. Who Saquon Barkley's from that area?

115
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: That he's a Jersey guy?

116
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: Is he?

117
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: I think?

118
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: Okay? I thought he was from Central PA.

119
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: You might be right.

120
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. Leshaw McCoy was from Central PA. Ohon

121
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: was born in the Bronx, So I think you are okay.

122
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: He graduated from high school in in in white in

123
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: Whitehall Township, which is like central Eastern p A. He

124
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: was was was born in New York City, New Jersey area. Uh.

125
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: Max Harlman and I'm trying to figure out where he

126
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: played his his high school football here, but I want

127
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: to say, he's like, a, yeah, where's his here? Here

128
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: we go, where's his Notre Dame? His Notre Dame? Oh,

129
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: he went to Wyo Missing High School.

130
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: That's why I knew that that's where Ross Talker went

131
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: to school.

132
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 2: Is that where Ross Talker went to school?

133
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's where.

134
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 2: It's where one of my college roommates, Nikki d Felice

135
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: with the schools. A big shout out to Nicky D

136
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: if he's listening right now.

137
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ross went there. That's why I knew because before

138
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: he even signed I think with the Steelers, Ross at

139
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: him on his podcast is just a missing dude.

140
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: That's cool.

141
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 3: I think Eric. I think Alexai ANZELONEI played there too,

142
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 3: pretty sure.

143
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: That's funny. Yeah, as did one of my college roommates.

144
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: How about that small world, Matt. You know, it all

145
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: gets back to Wyo missing. I guess at the end

146
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 2: of the day, uh As we still have some seven

147
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: on seven's going on in front of us. I've been

148
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: trying to deduce anything. The Marvin Leal is all excited

149
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: over there on the defensive line. I'm not sure exactly

150
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: who he was going up against on a on a rep.

151
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 3: There probably was the right tackle, but I don't think

152
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 3: it was Falton.

153
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, good rep there by Doug nestor on Ya Black.

154
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: Those two have been a lot of fun to watch

155
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: throughout camp. They've been going at it, those two.

156
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: In a pretty good battle.

157
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Is the offense matriculating their way down the field

158
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: here a little bit in front of us Skyler Thompson.

159
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: A lot of Thompson. She came out kind of late,

160
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: but still he put it on where he needed to.

161
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: Good job by Rock Taylor to hold onto that one

162
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: after a little a little contact from Deshaun Elliott. Good

163
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: good good hold good snag. There.

164
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: Should note too that the pass rush drill that they're

165
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: doing on the far field is two on twos so

166
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: they're working on stunts and twists and things like that,

167
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: and yeah, good way to do it.

168
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: Communication for the offensive line.

169
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, how long do I hang on to you and

170
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: pass you off from all those type of things?

171
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: Right?

172
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean they stunn or twist every time, but

173
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: you know, sure, sure.

174
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: Now you got to keep those guys, keep those guys

175
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: guessing right, keep them on the balls or their feet,

176
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: as they might say. As we'll have another rep here

177
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: for Skyler Thompson, looks like they might be done on

178
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: the far side of the field. I wonder if this

179
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: could mean the conclusion of practice and that one airmailed

180
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: one intended for JJ gallbreath.

181
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 3: There came out of his hand. He knew that one.

182
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: And you know what I think too, because I think

183
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: he knew that that was the last rep of practice.

184
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't think that's how he wanted

185
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: to think. That's tough.

186
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: Like when you're playing pick there you shooting hoops by yourself.

187
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: You got to make your last shot exactly right.

188
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: Although I think we might have one more, they are

189
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: not done. No, So okay, chance at Red Empson here

190
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: upcoming in just a few minutes.

191
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: For sky tom soon, because I was gonna say everybody

192
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: left field too.

193
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: We've gotta get a fvital teams period here. I think perhaps.

194
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: That's usually how they've been.

195
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: And usually how they have been. Felton, who's kind of

196
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: standing in the middle of there, looking like he's ready

197
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: to get going. We'll see who else runs over. Oh yeah,

198
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is now huddling the boys up. It looks

199
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: like we are gonna have a little one on one

200
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: team period to end this thing. Matt, That's what I'm

201
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: talking about.

202
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: Nice, let's stick around, let's do it. Is that the

203
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: defensive two's out there while you're getting Sawyer, Queen's out there. Yeah,

204
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 3: the two interior defensive lineman Harmon and Bentn are out there.

205
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,239
Speaker 3: So it's mostly ones. No Watt though, Yeah.

206
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: No Watt, No fine with that. No Ramsey, no high Smith,

207
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 2: as we've stated more than that, No Cam, Hayward, Cam.

208
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: But you've got the majority of others that you would

209
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: expect out there, Slay, Elliott and Thornhill, along with Brandon

210
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: eccles as your defensive backs. Still Queen and Wilson in

211
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 2: the middle of the field. Those guys getting a lot

212
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: of work together throughout it'll be le Al.

213
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: And Sawyer be your edge.

214
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: Horman and Benton on the inside. Old boy, let's that'll be.

215
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: That'll be one to watch here on the interior this

216
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: offensive line. As Scottie Miller will move in motion. Aaron

217
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: Rodgers in the shotgun, takes a beat, now gets the

218
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: snap to give to Jaylen.

219
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: Wilson pretty quick by Wilson.

220
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: Yes, Sawyer, Sawyer was there would have been on the

221
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: clean up for the tackle as uh that was that

222
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: was well read there by Peyton Wilson. He kind of

223
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 2: exploded downhill and didn't didn't give Jayalen Warren much room

224
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: to get going.

225
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he saw that from the beginning.

226
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: Warren will check out, as will Roman Wilson, DK metcalf

227
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: in as is I believe gain Well. I want to

228
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: say we'll see here in just a second when they

229
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: break the huddle and they still have are now Washington

230
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: in there, Pat Fryer mouth as well, two as they

231
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: will break huddle here, Cam Hayward out there, so three

232
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: or Connor Hayward part of me. Three tight ends You've

233
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: got gain Well in the backfield. Aaron Rodgers under center,

234
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: metcalf alone wide out to the right, this mooth will

235
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: come in, tight.

236
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: Good protect.

237
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 2: Rogers back nice one to Metcalf or what would have

238
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: been about a nine to ten yard game.

239
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: They were dropping Sawyer on that one. Who is no

240
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: match for Metcalf. Obviously that's a tough, tough cover.

241
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: That's a tough cover.

242
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 3: But he's getting help. Ye. Rogers read that. Quick ball

243
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: came out, good protection.

244
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: Well designed, well executed. Rogers will stay in still. Caleb

245
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: Johnson gonna check in. Roman Wilson gonna check in as well.

246
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf will check out mooth Hayward. I believe Mount

247
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: Washington still in there, trying to.

248
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: See far side.

249
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: Can't tell if that's Mount wasshing he's on the side. Okay,

250
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: so that's Broderick over there. All right.

251
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 3: They look a lot alike they.

252
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: Really, it's says Georgia.

253
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 3: Guys.

254
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: You know, they all look they all look like.

255
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: Usually tight ends and tackles don't look the same.

256
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 2: Though, well, Darnell Washington does not look like many other

257
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: tight ends. As Connor Hayward moves in motion from left

258
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: to right, Rogers in the shotgun, Caleb Johnson to his left.

259
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: He gets the snap, looks left, gets rid of it.

260
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: Quickly out there for Scotty Miller. That'd have been a

261
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: short maybe three or four yard pick.

262
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, but another quick read boom, get it out of

263
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: your hands, easy layup, yep.

264
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 2: Make the defensive back make a tackle in space, right yeah, yeah,

265
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: ash as it was Beanie Bishop on the coverage there,

266
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: I believe for the defense. And now Darnell Washington will

267
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 2: check in, Mason Rudolph will check out as well. Most

268
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: of the first team offense as well too. Offensive lines

269
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 2: will do some swapping as a O line runs some

270
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 2: gassers as they tend to do, and we will have

271
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 2: our first rep here with Mason Rudolph and what we

272
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: think might be this final period of practice. Robert Woods

273
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: in motion the give the sermon well blocked. He's able

274
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 2: to spin out of a move there and would have

275
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: been a nice pickup for a first down.

276
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, they could. Oh, line came off the ball

277
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 3: well there and move some people.

278
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: That's what we've been looking to see. That's exactly what

279
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: we've been looking to see. And it looks like John

280
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: news Smith just walked off the field as well too,

281
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: man so with a trainer, So we will keep an

282
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: eye on that. Something to something of notes.

283
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we haven't seen a lot of him today.

284
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: I wonder what's going on with him.

285
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: He was you were telling me that when I got

286
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: down here about fifteen minutes.

287
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: Ago, earlier than usual, and I was just sitting there.

288
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 3: He was on the drugs machine already and he's always

289
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 3: on the first ones to hit it after practice.

290
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we'll see, Uh, that'll if he doesn't. I

291
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 2: was just thinking that same thing exactly right, Ryan Clark

292
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: and Jayalen Ramsey standing on the far side sideline about

293
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 2: the forty two yard line, chopping it up.

294
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: Like Bio missing Hurlman making a catch there.

295
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 2: I'm going at the text nikkid and tell him we

296
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: were talking about him on the show today.

297
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: Yea, as uh if he knows Ross.

298
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: Everybody knows Ross.

299
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: Come on.

300
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, Johnny Smith walking off the field with a trainer.

301
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: No one really aware of what exactly happened between. So

302
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: we're new, right, Yes, him and Howard uh exiting practice today?

303
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: And what was a physical one? What was an active one?

304
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: Without a doubt? I mean there's been a lot of

305
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: team periods here.

306
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: Matt, Yeah, there has absolutely has been a pretty spirited practice.

307
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: Got a lot of good work in at a lot

308
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: of thumping and bumping.

309
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people on the field too. Like

310
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: you said, team periods.

311
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: Skyler Thompson doesn't check with me under center and bobbled

312
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: exchange there between between him and McCallum.

313
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 3: I believe, Yes, I want to say to blame on that.

314
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 2: I know, and they're kind of talking to each other now,

315
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: but yeah, it was McCallum in there, and that will

316
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: be it for those guys. Are we going to see

317
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: the first team jacket? All right? I was thinking about

318
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 2: getting to a break here, but not if the first

319
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 2: team's checking back in will stay for a few.

320
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: More minutes, maybe they're gonna end it.

321
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 2: Maybe this is I think that that's a safe bet.

322
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 2: As we're approaching now about we're about two hours and

323
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes into practice, two hours and twenty minutes in practice,

324
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: so I would think that this is is coming down

325
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: the home stretch here of the of the final phase

326
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: of everything is the ones have checked back in. Mike

327
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 2: Tomlin barking out some instructions of what he wants to

328
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: see here in these in these final few minutes.

329
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: Must be something he wants to see.

330
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: I think he was kind of talking to some of

331
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: the coaches and I think being pretty pretty direct about

332
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: what he wanted here in these final minutes. Abso it'll

333
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: be ones on ones back checking in here, same same

334
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: cast that you've heard from the defense and Nickel.

335
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: Form the first and ten. I wonder if this is

336
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: going to be a true drive you know where they

337
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: move the chains. Yeah, get him forty yards you.

338
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: Know it, maybe two minutes drill type thing.

339
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: There could be two minutes going on. That's the thing is,

340
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: you're it could be situational. Hey, you're down to you

341
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: need a field goal, there's fifty seconds and you go

342
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: one time out. Whatever it is. We don't know the specifics.

343
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: Rogers is in the shotgun working at the forty yard

344
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: line in a first and ten quick pass to move

345
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: for about a six yard game.

346
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 3: It's definitely hurry up.

347
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: It is definitely hurry up, and the off move is

348
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: going here.

349
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. So the second second.

350
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: Four yep, Rogers will continue to work out of the

351
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: Shaka no huddle, going quickly here over the middle, looking

352
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: now dump one off to warn nice catch there, and

353
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: that's gonna depend on where they say Beanie Bishop had him,

354
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: but they're gonna mark them past.

355
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: That's he's weird spot those type of things. But Warren

356
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: cuts the inside there instead of going out of bounds.

357
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: But he got the.

358
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: First yep, exactly right. So first down here now at

359
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: the forty eight yard line and plus territory, Rogers finds

360
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: mouth again and he's got some space.

361
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one gonna pick up. TJ pushed the pocket

362
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 3: nicely there, he did. Yeah, Helly's pass rushers aren't worried

363
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: about run.

364
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: No, that one picked up about fifteen sixteen yards. The

365
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: Steelers all of a sudden in business at the thirty

366
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: yard line with another first and ten. Rogers moving quickly,

367
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: looking left and threw a little side arm Oh my goodness,

368
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: yeah to Jalen Warren kind of faked like he was

369
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: going over the middle to mooth and flicked it out

370
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: to the side that's.

371
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: At his waist level.

372
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's three or four guys in the world that

373
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 2: can do that. And that one picks up about a

374
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: five yard gain, six yard gain on first down. Rogers

375
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: again moving quickly here, nothing going and he's under pressure

376
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: and so he'll just throw that at the feet of

377
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: Jalen Warren. That was an impressive pass there.

378
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: Matt clearly they got the clock running here because they're

379
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: very aware.

380
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes they are. And even with an incomplete pass there,

381
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: they're still trying to simulate this like they're like they're

382
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: hurrying up.

383
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: I mean, this is Rogers wheel house. This is one

384
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: hundred yeah.

385
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he's moving DK and and and moving around.

386
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: Those A clock stops so he doesn't have to rush, right, Yeah, yep.

387
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: Taking some time here at the line of scrimmage to

388
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: get his guys in the right place. Stilling shotgun with

389
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: Jalen Warren to his right, trips wide receivers to his

390
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: right as well. He's looking that way. He'll throw it

391
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: over the deflected and intercepted. Brandon eccles gets a hand

392
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: on that one in front of Roman Wilson and it's

393
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: picked off by Wan Thornhill.

394
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: Blame Robert Rogers on that one on first. Yeah, I

395
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: mean that really threaded between two dudes. That was a

396
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: through the keyhole tight yle talking and it looked like

397
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 3: it was on target. It wasn't a poorly rown ball,

398
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 3: but some one of the two d bacs got a

399
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: hand on it and went popped up in the air

400
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: and the safety grab so after a they probably pretty

401
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 3: encouraging thing now with the twos, I think so, yeah, yeah.

402
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty encouraging start there for Aaron Rodgers in the

403
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 2: first team. But the defense able to make a play

404
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: and get off the field.

405
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: So the other thing, and then we've mentioned this throughout camp.

406
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean he would try that in a game, correct,

407
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: you know, like you've often the limits here, you know, like,

408
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: can we get that. I'm not going to just dirt

409
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: it there. If I can give it a shot, you

410
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: don't lose. If that's Week three against whoever. That doesn't

411
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: mean that he makes that throw. Who knows, right, But

412
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 3: it wasn't a bad throw. It's just there was also

413
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 3: a nice defense. I mean someone got a hand in there.

414
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 3: So now we got the two's doing the same thing

415
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: here on first and ten.

416
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: Yep, good protection Skyler Thompson in and not Mason Rudolph here.

417
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,479
Speaker 3: For two or three yards there. I think the defense

418
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 3: is happy with that.

419
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, quick little outa will out of bounds and now

420
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 2: it'll be about a second and seven for the offense.

421
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 2: Thompson back quickly.

422
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 3: Interesting, it's not Rudolph downfield?

423
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. In a nice completion there to

424
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: Hurlman for about a twenty yard game. Rudolph is he's

425
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: out there, he's walking behind that. Yeah, it doesn't look

426
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: like he's banged.

427
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: Went straight to the threes and it looks like both

428
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 3: teams are you know what now.

429
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: That you mentioned that, I think you are correct, and

430
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: if you're looking at the offensive line as well too.

431
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: So big completion though by Thompson there the last.

432
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: Play, nice nice ball over the middle to Hurlman for

433
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 2: about a twenty yard game. And he just caught another

434
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: one for about five six yards down the left side.

435
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 3: I know Notre Dame. People love that guy. Do it

436
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 3: all types?

437
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 2: So do WI missing people. Yeah, Thompson now will point

438
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: to his head, bark out some signals. He's got gain

439
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: well to his left in the shotgun. He's going to

440
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: go quickly to the right to Connor Hayward able to

441
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 2: wiggle his way into some space there, move the chains.

442
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 2: That would have been about a six yard game. Now

443
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: they're going to be inside the red zone here with

444
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: a fresh set of downs.

445
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 3: What's on the clock and how much I'm out to yet?

446
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely it was few days of practice they had the

447
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 2: clock turned this way. But now again we can't see

448
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: it as a nice pass there over the middle to

449
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 2: Parliament is all over the place, and that one's gonna

450
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: be down to about the two yard line for about

451
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 2: a three yard line, they'll say, for a seventeen yard game.

452
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: Now we'll see if this offense can finish off the

453
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 2: drive here. They've been getting good protection up front so far.

454
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: A couple hands on the hips for the defense, Matt.

455
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 2: They got them right where they want them.

456
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, play at this tempo.

457
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 2: Thompson now back again, looking quickly. He thought about dumping

458
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 2: at the Hayward instead looks to the right side for

459
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 2: gain Well, and did he get him? I think he

460
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: got him? That was part of me. But are they

461
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: saying he was just short?

462
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 3: I don't think he got in coming back, and I

463
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: think he went.

464
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 2: Kind of fell the pile, fell on his key stir

465
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: before the pylon there. So we'll see here, maybe one

466
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: last one last play to see if they can finish

467
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: it off with a touchdown. Although there's some cute confusion

468
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 2: about the personnel now out on the field. Let's see

469
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: here Hurlaman will check out.

470
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 3: But he was out of bound. So the clock did stop.

471
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: Clock did stop? Yes, So now they have the ball

472
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: spotted at the one yard line. It'll be second in

473
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: goal from the one, and that's what it was. It was,

474
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: let's bring in the let's bring in the goal line

475
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 2: offense here and see if we can punch this thing in.

476
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 2: Although they will continue to operate in a shotgun with

477
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: Kenneth Gainwell, J. J. Gallbreath the tight end still Skyler

478
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: Thompson in the gun snap back looking left, looking throwing,

479
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: and that one to reflect at the line of scrimmage.

480
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: Not sure who got it. I think that's who I

481
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 2: was thinking as well too. I think it might have

482
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: been for Hoko at least he was kind of in

483
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: the middle of it there. Yeah, all right, third down

484
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 2: now here at the one before we go to break,

485
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: we'll see if the offense can finish off this drive

486
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: and what will likely be the final moments of practice

487
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: here for your Pittsburgh Steelers on this beautiful Tuesday afternoon,

488
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 2: rolling into the evening here, that's Saint Vincent College. Sun's out,

489
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: a little bit little beautiful, a little less cloud cover

490
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: than we've had throughout practice. It's a gorgeous, gorgeous August

491
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: day here and here we go, third and goal from

492
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 2: the one yard line. They will stay in shotgun, but

493
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: a tight formation looking left, Thompson has the ball nothing

494
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 2: well defended, able to get one away, but defended well

495
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: there by Chuck Clark.

496
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 3: Was all only his guy could get.

497
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: It, but would have been a tough catch, but was

498
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 2: a throw was where it needed to be. But Chuck

499
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: Clark was all over that one. And so here we

500
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: go for all the marbles. Matt Williams going forward on fourth,

501
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 2: I guess more than three. Yes, I think that's I

502
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: think that's safe to assume as well. And so we'll

503
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 2: see who gets final bragging rights here. As practice nears,

504
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: it's conclusion in the shotgun empty set five wide here

505
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 2: for fourth and one for Skyler Thompson and Mike Tomlin's

506
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: gonna blow it dead. Didn't like something that he saw.

507
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was all the defense. Maybe

508
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: the defense took a time out. He doesn't look like

509
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: he's upset or about anything or anything, but this is

510
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 2: clearly something there that they said, let's let's let's reset this. Yeah,

511
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if.

512
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 3: It's saw a look on a key play. Okay, that's

513
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: what you want to go to. I'm gonna call my

514
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: time out and adjust I'm guessing that's how they handled it.

515
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 3: But Tomlin in this case isn't on either team, so

516
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 3: he's calling it.

517
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: He was in the offensive backfield, now he is behind

518
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 2: the end zone. Gonna take this in from almost like

519
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: a safety position, if you will, And here we go.

520
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: Now they will go under center. Oh nope, never mind,

521
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: gonna go. They were bunched under center. Now they'll audible

522
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 2: to five wide spread out Skyler Thompson in the shotgun

523
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: again for all the marbles, for all the marbles, for

524
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: the lobster file. In the dining room, Thompson takes a snap,

525
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: quick hitting well and he dropped it. Oh he had it.

526
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: Kenneth Gainwell had it right in his bread basket, but

527
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: he dropped it.

528
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: Matt perfect ro out, good throw and probably the guy

529
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 3: you want to throw to if you're the threes. I mean,

530
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 3: that's a trust trustible guy and just couldn't hol it

531
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 3: in get him right in the numbers.

532
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 2: After a very solid practice for Kenneth's.

533
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: Defense got both offs, even though they ended up giving

534
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 3: up a lot of yards and got their back against

535
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: the wall. But when a matter most on the last play,

536
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: defense came up big on both those drives.

537
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 2: Then, but don't break right.

538
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: So I thought they were good offensive drives. I did too, right,

539
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 3: I thought they were should be happy with things. The

540
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: end result they wasn't.

541
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: There though, plenty to be encouraged about. But yeah, all Swedish,

542
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 2: no finish there from the offense. You see what I

543
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: did there. Let's get to a rap. Let's get to

544
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: a break here. That is a wrap on practice. We'll

545
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 2: give some final practice thoughts, tell you about what's going

546
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: on down on the field. Get to our around the

547

Speaker 2: league segment, this replay or this measurement technology that we

548
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: have to discuss plenty to get to here in the

549
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: final half hour of the program. Will do that as

550

568
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: It all happens quick out.

569
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: Here, Yeah, it really does, and sometimes it feels like

570
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 3: a grind and all that, but it's a lot of

571
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 3: action and a lot of stuff happening in rapid fire.

572
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 3: And felt like today was that way. You know. The

573
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: practice was practice was long, but they got a lot

574
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 3: in and there was a lot of reps taken and

575
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 3: a lot of tape to evaluate for these coaches, and

576
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 3: a lot of tempo. It was not much sitting around

577
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 3: at all. And you know, we did of a couple,

578
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 3: as always, a couple of starred guys that weren't out

579
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 3: there Ramsey et cetera. But you know there's hurlman out

580
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 3: there catching passes. Now, you'd a good day, you know,

581
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 3: I mean there was a lot of guys had good days,

582
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: and I thought the offense responded well, which is how

583
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 3: we opened the show. You know, when do you start

584
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 3: to worry? I said, Well, today's kind of pivotal when

585
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: they stepped up.

586
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: I worry less after today.

587
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly about the offense.

588
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, no, I I perhaps I think their finest

589
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: day of camp, not even perhaps, I think it was

590
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: their finest day of camp so far. Today. Uh did

591
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: if you if you missed it, if you're just joining

592
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: us or or or something like that. Will Howard exiting

593
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: practice early, John Smith exiting practice early as well too.

594
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: Smith didn't practice high.

595
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 2: Smith did not practice. Good news. Joey Porter Junior was

596
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: back out there today, limited capacity. Yeah, you know, exactly right.

597
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: It's good for a lot of a lot of reps

598
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: today for Eccles and Beanie Bishop and and James Pierre and.

599
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 3: Your new buddy.

600
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 2: Yeah that's right, Derren Porter as well too. So yeah,

601
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 2: there was a lot to like you said, a lot

602
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: going on, a lot to deduce I think from today's practice,

603
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: certainly as still some work being had here in front

604
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 2: of us, Troy Faltanu and Cam Hayward doing a little

605
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: little coaching, little instruction down there in front of us.

606
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: Has uh I got a kick out here in the

607
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: forty five yard line. They were the outside linebacker coach

608
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 3: with Watt and all the all those dudes are. We

609
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 3: were working on basically Watt's patented move, that that ghost

610
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 3: move swipe move thing that he has going that. They

611
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 3: were all doing it and basically just following his lead. Yeah,

612
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 3: he's better at than all of them. But even like

613
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: Cam Hayward was out there fiddling around with it, he

614
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 3: didn't even try, like instead of doing the ghost move side,

615
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: he did a spin and came inside on it. Yeah, right,

616
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 3: just kind of yeah, but hey, let's just spend ten

617
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: minutes all of us just working on one move.

618
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and hey, success leaves clues, and TJ. Watt has

619
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: certainly had plenty of success. Yeah, he was a good guy.

620
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 2: Good guy to be following around out here without a doubt.

621
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 2: H Matt, what do you say?

622
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 3: These machines are getting plenty of attentions.

623
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: As they always are. Yeah, no doubt. I'll tell you

624
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: what you could could have probably twenty jugs machines down there.

625
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 2: They would still Yeah, they were always wanting us.

626
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 3: Got some good work down here too, I mentioned with Hurlman,

627
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 3: but a lot of the quarterback stuff, uh just first

00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: air that throws some deep balls for the last twenty

629
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 3: minutes or so. Yep, Aaron Is, h Rogers and Rudolf

630
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 3: were both out there working.

631
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: Throwing some to Hurlaman and Rock Taylor and DK Metcalf

632
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: here in front of us right now, offensive lineman working

633
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 2: on some stuff down towards the red zone.

634
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 3: That's always a cmal who's coaching.

635
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah it is. He gets with all these guys and

636
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 2: talks about hand placement and all that good stuff. And

637
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: he's he's certainly he's certainly giving it back out there.

638
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: Isaac Sayallo is like every day after practice, it seems

639
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: like he's working with one of these one of these

640
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 2: young offensive linemen. Which is great to see Matt little

641
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: around the league. For a few minutes here for you

642
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: before we get to our final break.

643
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 3: Look at this little dude out there. I think he's

644
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 3: a friarmoth, this little guy at the thirty five. Oh yeah,

645
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: I go into the forty all he's on a foot

646
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 3: and a half tall, just run running down that red

647
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: line right down the middle. He's having a good time.

648
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: Nobody, I mean, no one's down, you know, just like hey, yeah,

649
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: keep running here.

650
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 3: You're fine, You're good. That's funny.

651
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's like a little cousin or family

652
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: member or something of it.

653
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: He's like anybody watching me friar moves like get back here.

654
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: He's like what He's like, no, Oh, that's hilarious, Like

655
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: that's so far away. Why would I want to run

656
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 2: all the way.

657
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 3: Down the long practice. I don't want to go get him.

658
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 3: The kids having a blast.

659
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: Oh that's the best. The security guards like, hey, buddy,

660
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 2: why don't you you want to run back down the

661
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: other way?

662
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: There we go. You're staying right down the red line though.

663
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: Oh fantastic. I love it is that Scotty Miller coming

664
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: over to grab him.

665
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: So I wonder if maybe I think they sent someone

666
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: to go do go deal with do somebody's dirty work. Boom,

667
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: I'm not coming back.

668
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: It's like, no, I'm not going back. It just throws

669
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: himself down at the forty yard line.

670
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: I know if that's Miller's kid or Moose kid or what.

671
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: But I yesterday Matt went to pick up the girls

672
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: from school, yeah, from daycare, and they've I could tell

673
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: they've gotten very used to mommy picking him up the

674
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks.

675
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: While woh okay, dad's been because.

676
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: My youngest Claire, who's a little little you know, almost

677
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: two and a half here, getting close to two and

678
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 2: a half. When I opened the door out to the

679
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: playground with their daycare to pick her up, she saw

680
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: me and she threw herself on the ground like that

681
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: little hit just no one more. I was like, that's great, that.

682
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 3: Really makes it felt so.

683
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: Excited to see me. I've been gone basically the last

684
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: two weeks. Early, you haven't been missing me. A couple

685
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: couple around the thing around the league. Things to run

686
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: past you here. Man found this interesting. Zach Taylor, of course,

687
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: Bengals head coach, spoke to the media this morning and

688
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: he said that Joe Burrow and other big name players

689
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 2: will play several series on Thursday night in their preseason

690
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: opener and more in Game two against the Commanders. He's

691
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: got a new way of doing things with eyes on

692
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 2: starting fast this season.

693
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 3: It's noteworthy because.

694
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 2: Don't do the definition of insanity thing r right.

695
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 3: I mean every year they run it back and Taylor's defense.

696
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: There's been a couple of pre seasons where Burrows had

697
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: like a kidney. I mean, there was like a couple

698
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 3: of things that he couldn't do things. Yes, but they

699
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: are such a notorious slow starting team, and he got

700
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 3: to think it reflects from just not playing anybody in

701
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: the preseason at least do something. And I didn't even

702
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: put two and two together on that, but a week ago.

703
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: We're not real. But I'm going to use the word

704
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 3: excited for the Hall of Fame game on Thursday. Now,

705
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 3: We're gonna have like actually real preseason games in two days,

706
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 3: you know, So that's good stuff.

707
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: Hey, if Joe Burrow is playing on Thursday night, right right.

708
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 3: Right, I'm watching that, watching that Stars playing in two days, which.

709
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: Is music to our ears. Yeah, Williams. And speaking of

710
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: Stars playing in two days, not quite two days, but

711
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: maybe Saturday, the Steelers will get their first crack at

712
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter. Yeah there first, that's a little exciting thing

713
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: that I hadn't really nominally thought about. Yeah, me too.

714
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: I think he is the one guy you take quarterback

715
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: out of the equation, right, like, because if I had

716
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 2: the first pick is the Steelers, I would probably take

717
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: a cam Ward I think, right. But but after that, uh,

718
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 2: that would have been Travis Hunter and it so their

719
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: official depth chart just came out today, their first depth

720
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 2: chart for the Jaguars, and again grain Assault With all this,

721
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: he's listed as a starting receiver and a backup corner

722
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 2: on their first depth chart, and he's been kind of

723
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: every other day of practice, going with wide receivers, going

724
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: with the defensive backs, going with wide receivers, going with

725
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: the defensive backs.

726
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 3: From what I understand, he's had more reps at receiver.

727
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 3: But they are making a heavy D day, heavy old day,

728
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: heavy D day.

729
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: Yes, So if you're Liam Cohen, if you're Jacksonville, is

730
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: it like a let's get him out there on both

731
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: sides of the ball in preseason? We're still feeling this

732
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: out or do you think in their mind they have

733
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: already a real this is how much we're gonna use

734
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: them on offense, this is how much we're gonna use

735
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 2: them on defense? Or is there still some of that

736
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: to be deduced by preseason.

737
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: I mean, when you trade up in the draft and

738
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 3: give you I assume they had a plan of Okay,

739
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 3: not only do we love this guy, but we're gonna

740
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: implement his snaps and his meeting and people don't think

741
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 3: about the meeting room stuff, you know, like you go

742
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 3: to the corner rooms, you go to the receiver room,

743
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 3: and you know, so that kind of place. Yeah, at

744
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 3: the college level, he had no problem from a Stamino standpoint,

745
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 3: doing both. But he wasn't a super developed route runner,

746
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 3: you know. I mean so I think, and and even

747
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 3: the corner stuff, he could just get away with being

748
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 3: the best player out there. Boy, he's special. I don't know.

749
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 3: I used to think maybe he only does both in

750
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: a specialized manner, like every third down he's out there,

751
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: every red zone, he's out there on both sides of

752
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 3: the ball. But I tend to think as his career

753
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 3: moves along that he'll probably lean towards one towards the

754
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 3: other much heavier. And I bet it's wide receiver.

755
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, from his standpo, Yeah, there's more,

756
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 2: there's more of a financial incentive, but the wide receiver position.

757
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 3: And I definitely watched more of his receiver reps than

758
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 3: corner reps in college. But I think he's got a

759
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: chance to be a top five receiver. And I'm not

760
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 3: saying he can't do that a corner either, but I mean,

761
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 3: if you can put him and Thomas out there, Lawrence,

762
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: that could be better than chasing Higgins in a year

763
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 3: or so. I mean what Thomas did as a rookie

764
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 3: was phenomenal.

765
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: Oh, he was outstanding.

766
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I would be super excited about that. And

767
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 3: I hope he plays a little bit.

768
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 2: I hope he does too. It sounds like it sounds

769
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 2: like he's gonna play a little bit on Saturday. I'd

770
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 2: be very, very excited to get to see him in person,

771
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: because I'm with you. I thought he was so much

772
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 2: fun to watch in college.

773
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 3: Even like warm ups. You might get a kick out

774
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 3: of just watching, you know, Let's see how he moves,

775
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 3: and I mean, I think he's a special player.

776
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: Let's see where he's lying an eye, what's he doing

777
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 2: with the wide receivers, what's he doing with the DB's. Yeah,

778
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: I'm with you too.

779
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 3: The plans hard to devise, though, I mean, if you're

780
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 3: the coaching staff, you' where's he at every minute every day?

781
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 3: Who knows?

782
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 2: And because again, like you don't want to become the

783
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: jack of all trades and the master of none. No,

784
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 2: you'd rather nail him down at one thing and have

785
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: him be great at it than have him be okay

786
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: at two things.

787
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 3: Yes, and even if it's just like boy, he doesn't

788
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 3: understand our own coverage concepts that well, but he's an

789
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 3: awesome man corner. That's tremendous. I mean, that's the hardest

790
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 3: thing to find. But then the offense knows you're probably

791
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: playing man when he's out there. I mean, like the

792
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 3: opponents are smart too.

793
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 2: They sure are, especially once you get a few weeks

794
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 2: into the season and all that out there could be

795
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 2: tells totally totally all right, before we go to our.

796
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 3: Runs three different routes, you know, like decordinators will pick

797
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 3: him by that.

798
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 2: Okay, you know, final kind of note before we go

799
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: to break here, Mike Tomlin, just speaking to wrap up practice.

800
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: A couple updates for you. Will Howard hand injury is

801
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 2: being evaluated. Happened on an exchange.

802
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 3: That's better than hitting helmet. Okay, so we'll take that.

803
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: John new Smith left with some knee soreness and appears

804
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: to be less significant.

805
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good news.

806
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: Okay, hopefully you know, just precautionary needs, a little sore,

807
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 2: you know, maybe it fell awkwardly or.

808
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 3: And they tell these guys, especially the veterans and the

809
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 3: people making money than a veteran on the block that hey,

810
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 3: if you feel anything, just get out.

811
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah right, totally. Uh And then no, no new news

812
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 2: on alex Higsmith, just just business business as usual, no

813
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 2: continuing to.

814
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 3: I didn't think Yeah, I didn't think we would. Then

815
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,959
Speaker 3: I assume he'll be ruled out for the Jags game

816
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 3: the night before too or whatever, because I'm not even

817
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,959
Speaker 3: sure if they planned on planning he was one hundred.

818
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 2: I think you're I think you're spot on there. Yeah,

819
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: I think you're spot on there all right, final break

820
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: to get.

821
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 3: Here feels like something we'll be talking about in two weeks. Yeah,

822
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 3: that's what closed a day.

823
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: Or two, which is unfortunate.

824
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 3: But I think you're right. That doesn't mean you should

825
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 3: assume the worst.

826
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, yeah, that too. But again with guys like that,

827
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 2: slow roll it, take your time. It's it's barely August here,

828
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: We've got we've got plenty more meat on the bone ahead.

829
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 2: That's that's much more important than some preseason games in Jacksonville.

830
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 2: That's for sure, got to get to our final break.

831
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: We come back on the other side, I do want

832
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 2: to take a look, just for a few minutes at

833
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 2: this new one, new virtual measurement that's coming to the

834
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 2: National Football League, the Hawkeye technology that's going to be

835
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 2: measuring first down starting in the preseason. How it will

836
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 2: be presented to the fans in the stadium, the fans

837
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 2: at home, all that different stuff. I got a little

838
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: inside scoop here from the league for us that we'll

839
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: dig into and discuss as we close things down on

840
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 2: the other side. Give you a final wrap up of

841
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: everything happening down here on the field as well too.

842
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 2: As Roman Wilson and DK Metcalf and Pat Fryarmouth have

843
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 2: been cranking along on the on the jugs machine down

844
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 2: there's still plenty going on. We'll put a bow on

845
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: everything when we return on the other side. Matt Williamson

846

Speaker 2: west Huler special edition of the Drive here on campus

847
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: as we head towards the evening time in Lake Trow, Pennsylvania.

848
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 2: It's all part of our ongoing training camp coverage on

Speaker 2: Final segment here of the drive today, another practice in

858
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 2: the books for your Pittsburgh Steelers. Still still a little

859
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 2: media stuff, little autographic stuff happening down on the field,

860
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 2: but mostly cleared out and quiet at this point. Man

861
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 2: working out at this point, Yeah, all the all the jugs,

862
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 2: machines have been put away, all.

863
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: That think these guys came out here a little before too.

864
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 2: Hey did. It's a long, long, long day, certainly, but

865
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 2: a good practice. It was best for the offense to

866
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: this point that the offensive line finally looked better. Roman

867
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 2: Wilson I thought had his best practice. Aaron Rodgers might

868
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: have had his best practice as well too. A lot

869
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 2: to like out there.

870
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 3: Today, Yeah, absolutely. It was a nice response to probably

871
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 3: some criticism over this day off of the offense. And

872
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about the defense or anything of that sort.

873
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 3: But I think we're going to have a competitive next

874
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 3: few days.

875
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think that's a great way to put it.

876
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that, Matt. Before we get out

877
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,240
Speaker 2: of here in just a few minutes.

878
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm curious about this.

879
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 2: I received a booklet of information. I got the PowerPoint

880
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 2: presentation from the NFL on the new Hawkeye virtual measurement

881
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 2: technology that we'll be working for first downs, first down

882
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: measurements starting in the preseason. Not touchdowns, just first downs. Okay, yeah,

883
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 2: just first downs. So here's what I got. Six ultra

884
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 2: high definition cameras will be arranged along one side of

885
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 2: the stadium in order to provide full coverage of the

886
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 2: field for line to gain measurements. A single camera is

887
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 2: capable of producing an accurate measurement within a fraction of

888
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 2: an inch well. However, the sixth camera system is designed

889
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: to have redundant camera coverage of the cameras in all

890
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: areas of the field. Now, it's important to note this

891
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 2: virtual measurement system strictly uses cameras in optical tracking. There

892
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 2: are no lasers or sensors within the ball, which was

893
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 2: surprising to me.

894
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 3: I figured that would be a chip and a laser.

895
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah. Right, did you say hockey?

896
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: Similar and now similar? But it's goal line technology as

897
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: opposed to first down technology. But I think still the

898
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: same type of thing, but like there's a sensor in

899
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: the puck that can tell you if it goes over

900
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 2: the line or not. In soccer, there's a sensor in

901
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: the ball that can tell you, Like if you watch

902
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 2: the World Cup and there's a goal line clearance, like

903
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 2: the ref will go over and look and they can

904
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 2: see like did the ball cross the line the.

905
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 3: Entire way for a goal?

906
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 2: But they'll be like a signal thing that goes off

907
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 2: to tell the referee to come and take a look

908
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 2: at it because it was a goal, you know, Like

909
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 2: they'll look at their watch and they'll be like, wait,

910
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 2: that's a goal and they got to go confirm and everything.

911
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 2: But that will not be the case with this.

912
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 3: No, people a thousand times smarter than me are doing this.

913
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 3: But I'm curious why they took thisroach as opposed to that.

914
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: I would like to know that as well too, that

915
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 2: no lasers or sensors within the ball are involved. So

916
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: it's a four step process of completing the virtual measurement,

917
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: and they're saying that it can all be done in

918
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 2: approximately thirty seconds. First step is the live image from

919
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 2: each camera is captured and processed accurately identifies and tracks

920
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 2: the field lines you know, in each instance. Once the

921
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 2: ball is officially spotted, the operator uses the measurement tool

922
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 2: in the system that can virtually confirm the front and

923
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 2: back tips of the football for measurement. Then the operator

924
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 2: will confirm first the location of the most recent spotted

925
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 2: ball and then second the spotted ball location from the

926
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 2: first play of the most recent set of downs. So

927
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: once both of those are confirmed, the system uses both

928
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 2: ball positions to compute the total yardage gained and then

929
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: that calculated you know, yardage achieved is displayed along with

930
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 2: the ball and the operator confirms the result, and the

931
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 2: virtual measurement is then generated and sent to use for

932
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 2: the broadcast and on the in stadium jumbo tron. So

933
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: if you look here, you will see these pictures and

934
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 2: I'll try and paint the best of it. Yeah, if

935
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,879
Speaker 2: it's any part of the ball is over the line,

936
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 2: it's a first down break the planes breaking the play situation, which,

937
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 2: to be fair, is different than hockey and soccer where

938
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 2: the ball has to cross the entire goal line and

939
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: then if it's short, it'll tell you exactly by how short.

940
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 2: So how many tell you we are three inches short

941
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 2: or you're fourth and three? Yeah, the note card the

942
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 2: one time you know, like you are.

943
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:34,720
Speaker 3: Zero point three.

944
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: So that'll I mean, like that'll basically be it is.

945
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 2: You will have this four step process.

946
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 3: Doesn't take minutes and minutes like you said, it's thirty.

947
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 2: Proximately from that's from start to finish time, approximately just

948
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: thirty seconds. I have to imagine we'll see this tested

949
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 2: a lot during the prea the preseason, like any situation

950
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: where it's close. I imagine they'll be like, let's take a look,

951
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 2: so get as many reps and as much experience doing that.

952
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 3: I assume there's still a chain gang.

953
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 2: I believe that there is still a chain gang for

954
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 2: certain situations where they can't because like what if it's

955
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 2: a touch push situation and you're never gonna see where

956
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 2: that I mean, you know that's where you think, like

957
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 2: that's a problem every year, and then it becomes a

958
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 2: judgment call of where it gets spotted and.

959
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 3: I've always laughed too, Like the chain gang part to

960
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 3: me is hilarious, but also twenty two huge human beings

961
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 3: are in this huge scrum, and this fellow from the

962
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 3: sideline runs out and says, the ball is here, you know, right,

963
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 3: Like I still think that's a little insane, you know,

964
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 3: like a touch push situations dead on, And I don't

965
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 3: know how that gets better. I know there would be

966
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 3: a chip in the ball somehow that tells you, but

967
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 3: then someone has to know when the ball was down right,

968
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know, I don't know if we're

969
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: talking about tiny things here.

970
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: But still, and this is not like a robot umpire

971
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 2: and baseball situation where like you could very easily have

972
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 2: a defined strike zone and you could get it right

973
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 2: every time. Like, there's still gonna be a lot of

974
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 2: gray area, yes, of where exactly the ball is, spot it.

975
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 3: And all that. So I'm sure this will be far

976
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 3: from perfect, but better.

977
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that this is a starting point that you know, yeah,

978
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: three four years from now, we're looking back and it's

979
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: the technology has expanded to you don't need a chain gang,

980
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 2: you don't need goal line reviews. You know, it becomes

981
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: a very seamless process is kind of the baseline.

982
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 3: Of it all. Like the Jumbo sean just lights up green.

983
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 3: If you got it right, exactly right, now, exactly right,

984
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 3: there we go first and yeah.

985
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 2: That that that, to me, I think is hopefully the

986
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: ultimate evolution. But that'll be another thing for us to

987
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 2: all keep an eye on. It's a little overdue when

988
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 2: these preseason games. You're right, it does see archaic that

989
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 2: a billion dollar league still has you know, a bunch

990
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: of a bunch.

991
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 3: Of bunch of old man, bunch of old men with the.

992
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 2: Chains in their hands trying to trying to decide if

993
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts got across the first down marker or not.

994
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: That'll do it for today's show, Matt, good stuff, good practice.

995
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 2: I enjoyed this practice. I hope we get more of

996
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 2: the same tomorrow. But for now, plenty in the books,

997
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,200
