Speaker 1: On your twenty four to seven home of the Black

Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: Welcome to the drive. I am Dale Lalli. He is

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and Matt. We are back. The Steelers are

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: back on the training field here. I just saw Deontay

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: Johnson still a little banged up here, just ran that

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: route and kind of he got nicked up a little

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: bit in the in the seven shots there, and he's

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: still dealing a little bit with something here, but I

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: mean doesn't look like it's anything major.

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I opened the show with like serious, serious anything,

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: nothing like that, he's a little uncomfortable.

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to continue to look at him. I

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: don't know if he twisted an ankle coming out of

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: his breakdown in seven shots, but not. He just went

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: out there in the team portion, ran a play and

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: he came back off.

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, there being ginger over here on the sidelines. Yeah,

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 3: they might be like lower back or I can't even tell,

20
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, Yeah, nor can I. Yeah,

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: they don't seem super concerned about it though.

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: No, No, they're they're keeping an eye on it. He's

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: sitting down on the water cooler as guys will we'll

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: do from time to time. But Day two, Day two,

25
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: here we go training camp here, Yeah, at Saint Vincent College,

26
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: and you're listening to us here on the Steelers Nation

27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: Radio in ESPN nine to seventy. I'll give you a

28
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: little play by play here. We got Kenny Pickett in

29
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: the pony here with two receivers split wide to the left,

30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: one to the right, and uh, we see, well that's

31
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: Connor Hayward motions into the backfield. He was the outside receiver.

32
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: He kind of set up a little Uh it's nice

33
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: little a little mini screen, Yeah, a little mini screen

34
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: with Hayward is the only blocker there. I kind of

35
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 3: like the sound of that. Something you've seen a lot

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: is the backs and Hayward splitting out wide moving to

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: the backfield, splitting out wide.

38
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: Motion, you know.

39
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of that with the backs in particular.

40
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: I've noticed in these two days real quick seven shots,

41
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: which by my count was nine shots.

42
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: I'm it was eight? Actually was it eight? One didn't count.

43
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: There was a bad snap up on the one and

44
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: I was sitting over there with Bob Labrielle and he

45
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: surmised that they scrapped that one and didn't count, but

46
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: the offense won five to two. Yeah, but I thought

47
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: the defense outplayed him, especially the beginning.

48
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: I mean they're the ones. Yeah, let's talk about what's

49
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: going on here. But we'll get back to that.

50
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 2: I mean, that was the highlight of practice thus far.

51
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: But we're seeing a lot of motion again.

52
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: Oh that was that was nice. That was a nice

53
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: show by Kenny Pickett. He looked so the play was

54
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: too to the right and he had Zach Gentry underneath

55
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: and Allen Robinson breaking further down the field. There was

56
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: one defender there, and Pickett looked at Gentry to get

57
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: the defender to come up and bite, and then threw

58
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: over the top of him Alan Robinson for a nice.

59
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: Game, And basically it ended up being Alan Robinson on

60
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: what right. You know, Bott was dropping on that play,

61
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: which that's a mismatch obviously. I mean TJ's a great player,

62
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: but having him guard wide receivers down the field is

63
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: not going to work out well. However, I didn't see

64
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 3: who the blind side edge rusher was. It was probably Golden.

65
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 3: That might have been a sack. I mean, the left

66
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: tackle got beat.

67
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: Those are hard to judge.

68
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: It's always hard because they're not in pads, you know,

69
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: and they have to slow up.

70
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, so you just you just don't know.

71
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: I mean, the blockers are blocking, but they're not really

72
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: I mean again, they not padded, right. It is.

73
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: The line play is really hard to go off of.

74
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: A needs to be honest with it is it is.

75
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: We won't know that stuff until Tuesday, and even at

76
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: that they're not hitting the quarterback right back to seven

77
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 2: shots real quick.

78
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: I liked the play call and I like the play design,

79
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: but they did one with Trubisky, who's a big, powerful runner,

80
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: empty quarterback draw, which I was like, I like the

81
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: way they drew it up. They kind of beat the

82
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: defense mentally, but they're also not going to hit them, right.

83
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of a cheap there still wasn't anybody.

84
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was a draw though, necessarily.

85
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: Because I didn't know if he improved it or if

86
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: I think he just saw in the middle open up

87
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: and took his took it.

88
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. The one play design that they had the one

89
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: where you had Anthony McFarland on the right side of

90
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: the quarterback in the sidecar and he went across the

91
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: formation and came out completely wide timed it perfectly right.

92
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: The linebacker has to sift through all the garbage to

93
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: get there, and he just can't get there, and everybody

94
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: else had cleared that side out. That was easy. Yeah,

95
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: very easy.

96
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: I'm glad you mentioned that because I mentioned all the

97
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 3: running back motion. A trend I've seen is come out

98
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: of the come out of the huddle with a running

99
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 3: back wide. It was even nausey, you know, you know,

100
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: all all those guys and when he motioned, I guess

101
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: the linebacker didn't adjust properly or as quickly, or.

102
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 2: They may have been in his zone. Yeah, you know,

103
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: and he just may get a switch off. Just was stealing.

104
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: It was easy, easy money down by the goal line. Yep,

105
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 2: Trubisky drops back. There's a little pass to gunner oal

106
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 2: Chewsky on the.

107
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: Left sideline next row. The play before the thing that

108
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: stood out to me, and again they're not in pads,

109
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: but her bigs get off was really impressive. I was

110
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: sitting here watching him because he's the my side.

111
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: He was that's how he wins.

112
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, he got off of really good quickness and leverage

113
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: and low immediately just like I'm in double check on

114
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: that one.

115
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was nice. Yeah, he's I just like the player. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

116
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: I was a her big fan early in the draft process.

117
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: Oh.

118
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: I remember start watching him on tape and it's like wow, yeah,

119
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: I mean the motor just goes one hundred miles an hour.

120
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: It makes a lot of plays, does a lot of

121
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 3: things for you. Yeah, he'll fit in.

122
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: I'd still like at some point to see him inside, yeahs,

123
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: to see what that looks like. I was watching the

124
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: inside backers today and I'm thinking, there might be still

125
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 2: be there's a sack for you, there's a sack. Yeah.

126
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: The pocket just crumbled. Yeah that was forty nine.

127
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, would give credit to that one, but that was

128
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 3: kind of a group effort.

129
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: Chipell Russell, Okay, yeah, dude, the pocket everybody just kind

130
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: of collapsed things. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I was watching the

131
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: inside linebackers when they were in individual drills, and I'm like,

132
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: I'd like to see one more guy there.

133
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 3: Right here, He's saying safety and inside linebacker in general,

134
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 3: I worry about a key injury being you know, depth

135
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: of getting exposed.

136
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: I'm a little less concerned at safety because I think

137
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: they have three guys they do have they have three

138
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: guys with starting experience that you can maybe withstand that

139
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: a little bit better unless it's and of course that's

140
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 2: a different story, and it's a different story. But linebacker,

141
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: I think right now, and I know they're they're they're

142
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: happy with what they built this offseason. I just look

143
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: at Cole Holcom as a unicorn in that group. Yeah,

144
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: oh yeah, yeah, I agree.

145
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna start really asserting himself as being

146
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: the best guy of the group, clearly.

147
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: Because I don't see anybody else currently on the roster

148
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: who I who I think is a three down guy, right,

149
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree.

150
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: I think they'll have roles, they'll have expanded coverage or

151
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: expanded duties week to week depending on the game plan,

152
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: that sort of thing. But it brings it does bring

153
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 3: you back to her big is what if he's a

154
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 3: really good player, but he's blocked by the three edge

155
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: guys ahead of them, Right, I'll to try to get

156
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 3: him on the field. Yeah, maybe he gets on the

157
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: field that way.

158
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 2: Another catch by Connor Hayward over the middle of that

159
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: from Mason Rudolph.

160
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: That's a typical Hayward route there. I like that, you know,

161
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: you know, I've complained a little bit about not enough

162
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: middle of the field stuff in breaking routes, but that

163
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: was nice.

164
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: I was starting.

165
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: That's kind of kind of a trend here. Yeah, I'm

166
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: sorry to notice more of that. Yep, no doubt. I

167
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: mean every team self scouts in the off season, you know,

168
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: what do we need to do better from all perspectives,

169
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: But Hayward's great at that. He's a sharp little route runner.

170
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: He's not the you know, the biggest target out there,

171
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 3: the hugest catching radius, but he's also quick to take

172
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 3: it up field to and break a tackle.

173
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: And he seems to win on those though, Yeah, pretty consistently.

174
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: And maybe it's because of that route running. I mean,

175
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: you're talking about a guy who who you know, has

176
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: played some wide receiver, played some running back, done some

177
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: different things at the collegiate level. And I think he

178
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: has a good understanding, yeah, of the levels of what

179
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: you need to do at each level. And he finishes

180
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: the run.

181
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: I mean even in practice here, he's taking it to

182
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: the house and you know, the effort is extreme.

183
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has Bet Williams and I am Dale Lally.

184
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: We are live from Steelers practice here at Chuck Dollfield

185
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: on the campus of Saint Ncent College. Here in La trope,

186
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: the Steelers taking part in practice number two here live

187
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: in front of us. Here, you're getting a little play

188
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: by play here, something you can get nowhere else. And well,

189
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: Steelers lining up here, we got uh that still Roodolph

190
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: in the backfield with the back to his right. We

191
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: get double wide receivers to the left, one single receiver

192
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: down here to the right and takes the snap, looks

193
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: left and throws one out there to hikeem. Butler, that man,

194
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 2: he's a big receiver.

195
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: He moves pretty well. I mean I remember him being

196
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: a lumber early in his career and struggling to hook

197
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: on anywhere he is. He seems to have more quickness

198
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: than I expected, especially a route like that. I mean,

199
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 3: that's just a quick hit. That's just pure quick game.

200
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: I mean that was getting the ball out in two

201
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: seconds or whatever. Maybe under you know, getting into a

202
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: guy who comes out of a break on a quick

203
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: little hit. You're a quick little out route and usually

204
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: those big, big bodied type guys have tough time with

205
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: those routes.

206
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: That was not he can't roll the hips out right

207
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 2: right right right, But no, that was he shows up.

208
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: We got Kenny Pickett back in the huddle. Here they're

209
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: operating for midfield focus is and then like red zone.

210
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: Right, it looks like it's a third down here, actually working,

211
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: it's a third down stuff. So right now it's third

212
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: and third three three. It looks like three. Looks like

213
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: the number one defense on the field as well.

214
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, we go ones versus ones here.

215
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 2: This is onees versus one, so this should be interesting.

216
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: It's it's a shade over three yards here and Deonta's

217
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: not out there, but that's not unexpected.

218
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure. I'm just looking here. I don't know if

219
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: I see him anywhere on the sidelines. I think he's

220
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: still down there. He's just I'm sure. Yeah again motion Harris, motion,

221
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: come out Andy, and then motion back to the backfield.

222
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: Get the snap. Pickett looks at it. Oh, just missus

223
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: George Pickens on a on a shallow cross or there.

224
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 3: Someone may I was watching the middle of the field there.

225
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: Someone might have run the wrong route because a receiver

226
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 3: in Friarmouth were both in the same spot and they

227
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: had attracted a crowd there, so that they might be

228
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 3: getting an earful for that one.

229
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are the ones that you know, I had

230
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: a conversation today with Matt Canada. We'll play that back now. Yeah,

231
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: you enter in the show. But that's one thing that

232
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 2: he said. You know that with guys now in the

233
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 2: year two, year three, you expect to see less of

234
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: those kind of mistakes. Yeah.

235
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean as well as the line played last

236
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 3: year too. There were too many mistakes or legal men

237
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: downfield things like that.

238
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: You know, I hate that call.

239
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 3: It's brutal.

240
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 2: I mean when the lineman is like one yard too far,

241
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: like come on man, Yeah, that's probably a that was

242
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: probably a sack by Alex high Smith. Yeah, showing off

243
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: his athleticism. They're running down the Middle East.

244
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: He's flat out fast.

245
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was surprised. We talked about this a couple

246
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. We went back and looked at Daniel

247
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: Jones combine stats compared to Kenny Pickett, and people would say,

248
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: you know, generally that the Jones is a better runner

249
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: pick us faster he is.

250
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: There's no doubt in my mind that he's quicker. I

251
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 3: mean terms with just light feet, quick little movements left

252
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: right stuff. But when he opens it up like he

253
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: just said there and starts sprinting. He's fast. Yeah, I

254
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: mean he's fast. I mean he's not Michael Vick, but

255
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: he's yeah, he's not. He's not football fast, right, normal

256
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: human beings much faster than a normal human being. But

257
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 3: where a guy like Joe football, he has more than

258
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 3: adequate sweet Oh yeah, I mean I think it's an

259
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: underrated attribute he has as an NFL quarterback. I mean

260
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: I think like rushing yards per game last year he

261
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: was like eighth in terms of quarterback.

262
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's who he is. Yeah, you know,

263
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: I think that's what you can expect. Here he takes

264
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: a snap, but Harris beside him in the backfield looking looking. Yeah,

265
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 2: that's and again Alan Robinson, that's a feel throw. He

266
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 2: rolled to his left a little bit, had some pressure from

267
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: his right.

268
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 3: The interior D line had a nice push there, stepped

269
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: up in the pocket and found Robinson coming back across the.

270
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: Field with double coverage here too, and it's threaded the needle.

271
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: As they put in a spot where only Robinson could

272
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: get it too. And again in breaking route in that

273
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: ten to twenty range. It's one of the things, one

274
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: of the flag things I'm looking for, and you know

275
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: is a good one.

276
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, another part in the middle of the field, right.

277
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: Right, exactly exactly, and Robinson does a lot of work there.

278
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: He's a big thing.

279
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what one area where he is excelled at.

280
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: Over the course of his career, more and more as

281
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: he's gotten older too.

282
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it looks stranger. So right now he's

283
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: in the slot in Calvin. Austin's on the outside of

284
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 2: him here. Yeah, yeah, I think that's something you might

285
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: see a lot of friarmooth motions to that side. He's

286
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: in line jaylen Moarren to pick its left steps up

287
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: in the pocket looking look, and he takes off and runs.

288
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 3: I think he wanted to go to Austin, but Austin

289
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 3: was got off the line. Okay, I'm trying to think

290
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: who I'm trying to see who the corner was he's

291
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 3: playing against. I should have the binoculars, to be honest

292
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 3: with you, I think that.

293
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: Was Levi Wallace over there, but I'm not possible.

294
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 3: Probably I just didn't want to speak out a turn.

295
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 3: But he ran with Austin fine, which was a good sign.

296
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: That's not easy to do. Yeah, but I would imagine

297
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: that probably would have been Deontae not Austin.

298
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: Yes, know, Cody White was down on this.

299
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 3: So the twos in there. Okay, get a lot of

300
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: action here.

301
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: Ins Trubisky huddling the offense here, he's now in, got

302
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 2: Jaylen Warren to his left. We got trips to the

303
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: right there, and two of them are tight ends, one

304
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: of them being uh up firing with motions this time,

305
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: so we get we got double tights here. Washington one

306
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: of the tight ends pickets lines up, goes down or

307
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: Trubisky down the middle of the field to Washington. Kind

308
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: of fumbled the ball a little bit there, but he

309
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: comes he comes down with it.

310
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's where Trubisky wanted to put the football.

311
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: He kind of put it on his left hip. Yeah,

312
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 3: that's where That's where the area. Yeah, that was the spot.

313
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 3: And I'm not giving Washington a hard time. I just

314
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: think it's a six seven behemoth. It was a little

315
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 3: tough for him to get low and you know, make

316
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 3: that grap You know.

317
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: This is third and longer though these are third and eights,

318
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: so I didn't really as they switch it up, man, Yeah,

319
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: a little bit different distance here. So back in the huddle,

320
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: we're breaking up Roger Jones out there at left tackle.

321
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: Now Jaylen Warren to Trubisky's right motion from right to left,

322
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: Gunner Olschewsky goes into the slot there, drops back, steps

323
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 2: up in the pocket, delivers a nice ball to Tolschewsky

324
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: for the first down.

325
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was nice play Thereby I mean double check

326
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: the number here too, Yeah, that was Pierre. I just

327
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: wanted to be double checked, but he They showed man.

328
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: But I found that interesting on defense because the motion

329
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: I think I forget who was in motion before I

330
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: thought it was Gunner this the slot went with him,

331
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: so immediately you're thinking man and Pierre's down here to

332
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 3: the near side of the field playing man and then

333
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: quickly goes off them, passes them off to the free

334
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 3: came down and would have made the tackle. I mean,

335
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: it's a nice row, but Pierre end up with the tackle,

336
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: and I think that's that matchup zone right right right right,

337
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: which you know, it's a fine line.

338
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: It's why why you know, when people talk about the

339
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: Steelers play this or the Steelers play that, you have

340
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: to you have to be able to watch the entire

341
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: play to well.

342
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: You know, because as you said, sometimes you don't know,

343
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: as a even a pretty good film, that's bad to

344
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: pass it the line of scream that would be herbig yeah, yeah.

345
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, you don't know. You may you know, sitting

346
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: at home, you may see the the motion as you are,

347
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: they're a man defense. But then you see the play

348
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: and no, that's his zone.

349
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: Or it starts out as man, and then you pass

350
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: it off or right right right, or usually it's the opposite.

351
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 3: You start in a zone and then once you get

352
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: to a point in the play, you just plaster.

353
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. A nice job by herbig coming off of against

354
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: the right tackle. They're getting in here and knocking that

355
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: ball down.

356
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: I'm curious. I doubt it's true. I mean, we know

357
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: Watt's on the left, Highsmith's on the right. I've noticed

358
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: herbig more on the left. But I'm assuming if you're

359
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 3: not a starter, you're gonna switch back and forth quite

360
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: I think eventually.

361
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: I think right now they're they're doing that.

362
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 3: They're using Yeah, Golden seems to be on the right

363
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: more often.

364
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: I think they'll get those guys comfortable, maybe for a

365
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: couple of weeks in and flip flopp.

366
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 3: I mean to me, a second practice something.

367
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: Empty set this time and a deep shot. Uh, throw

368
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: it to the outside shoulder. It was really good coverage. Yeah,

369
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: I think he tried to throw that back shoulder. Yeah,

370
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: I think he did too.

371
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, end up sailing out of bounds. But that's that's

372
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: probably more on the receiver, I mean, because I think

373
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: the balls where it wanted to be in terms of

374
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: timing and back shoulder. But it was really good coverage.

375
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: I didn't let him adjust. Yeah, that was JaMarcus Bradley. Uh,

376
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 3: the receiver there.

377
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: And again a young receiver maybe not making the proper

378
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: adjustment that you would expect, or at least at Trubisky

379
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: would expect on that one. Okay, we got Anthony McFarland

380
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: out there, but he's in the Uh he's in the wing.

381
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 3: Like a bunch and a bunch they got on the field.

382
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's out there with Maudre or not Madre Harper offensively,

383
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: Jason Huntley. Huntley's in the backfield. Oh that's just opened

384
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: right up.

385
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: I've seen that a couple of times.

386
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gentry over the middle. Everybody kind of left him

387
00:16:59,440 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: alone there.

388
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 3: What I was going with is how you started the

389
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: conversation was two true running backs on the field is

390
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: something we've seen a little bit of, you know, so.

391
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: I think it's one thing you can do within Anthony mcfarlins. Yeah,

392
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: I agree. You know, he is a good pass catching back, Yeah,

393
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 2: no doubt.

394
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: And I also think you might see Nauseam Warren out

395
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 3: there together here and there, and Warren's a really good

396
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 3: receiver too.

397
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we're breaking huddle here again. We get

398
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: the back to the right of that's still Trubisky. There's

399
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 2: that Rudolph.

400
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 3: It looks like Rudolph.

401
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: It's hard to tell from here. I can't see the number,

402
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 2: but it looks like Rudolph. And I'm realized. Yeah, how

403
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: about that right through right through the hands of eighty

404
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: four Tamarcus Bradley.

405
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: Again, okay, not the best showing back to the best

406
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: what you want to do? Back to back place. He's

407
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 3: a smaller guy too.

408
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: He's actually six one, is he really? Yeah, it's hard

409
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: to tell you. This was six one andety eight pounds

410
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 2: a medium sized receiving medium size. Yeah, no, that's good

411
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: size here. He just looks small to me. That just

412
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 2: shows you how many big receivers that they have. Truth.

413
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: They get some big dudes.

414
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: Out there and now he's doing push ups on the

415
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 3: sideline for.

416
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: The drugs he should after that. That's and Rudolph is

417
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: in the shotgun again. Back to his right. We've got

418
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: doubles down to his left side here a single single

419
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 2: up on top. Well, that was just a the outside

420
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: linebacker there just whipped the right tackle that was ended

421
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: up being a throwaway. Basically that was.

422
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: Toby and I haven't talked much about him, but no,

423
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 3: I don't know shot out of the cannon on that one. Yeah,

424
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: like he knew the snap count maybe, And that's that's

425
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 3: why you know, you can't There is some of that

426
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: that hudge some of this because they know each quarterback cadence,

427
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 3: they know, you know, especially.

428
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: You know, these guys have been going against each other

429
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: now in O t A sessions for two months before.

430
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 3: They get out real familiar, common opponent.

431
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: You know. That's why preseason games are so meaningful, right

432
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: right right? You know, people that want to get you know,

433
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: have fewer preseason practices. You can't learn things like that.

434
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: Got a lot of the lesser known guys out here

435
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: getting them some work.

436
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: Got a good pocket this time there you go drops

437
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: it in the much. I don't think he ended up

438
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: catching that. Yeah, if he didn't catch out when that's

439
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: on the receiver, Yeah, that was a good throw. He

440
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: had some steam on it too.

441
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: He was that eighty two, I believe the receiver.

442
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Dees Fitzpatrick, who is another bigger receiver six

443
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: two two oh six.

444
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 3: I remember him coming out of Louisville that he had

445
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 3: a little bit of pedigree to him.

446
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: Yah. You gotta come down with that one if.

447
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 3: You now right, that ball was smoking, but it was

448
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 3: in good spot, a little bit over his head, but

449
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 3: that's a catch you got to make.

450
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had to drop it in over the linebacker

451
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: and drop it back. So now it was not an

452
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: easy throw at all. A little touch on it over

453
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 2: the linebacker. So we'll be working on your punt team.

454
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: Looks like you got a little more special teams here.

455
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: So Matt, with that, we're going to take a break.

00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: by play coverage from Steelers training camp. We're live here.

468
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: We're in the Chuck No press box. Had a couple

469
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: of fans stop by, lasson I did the night show

470
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: with Mike Persuda. Oh yeah, I had some fans stuff

471
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: by that. They weren't aware that we were doing the

472
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 2: night shows over there, but they were listening to Steelers

473
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: Nation Radio after practice and hurt us and stopped over

474
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 2: and yeah, very nice over there. So that was nice. Yeah,

475
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: you and I be doing tonight. Yeah, we'll do another

476
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 2: show tonight. But uh, Deontay Johnson did leave practice today.

477
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: He took a card up the hill that was kind

478
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: of more precautionary. I think I would imagine you hear

479
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: you hear such and such player was carted off the field.

480
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: That that has really negative connotations. There's two ways of

481
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: looking at that.

482
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: Like I guess Jalen ramsey situation was he went down

483
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 3: on the field, doctors go immediately out.

484
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they bring the cart out onto the

485
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: field right, put.

486
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 3: Him on, They doctor it up, they feel the knee

487
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 3: or whatever it is, and say, bring the cart out.

488
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: That's different than you know, something bothers you at one play,

489
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 3: you go out there for the next one, and you

490
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 3: hang out on the sidelines for a while and side,

491
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 3: let's take it out.

492
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: Let's call it a day, because it's a we'll cart

493
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: you up. It's a four hundred yard walk up hell.

494
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: Right right, yeah, yeah, exactly right, So we'll just cart

495
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: you up. I mean, yeah, that it's different than being

496
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: carted off the field.

497
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what you do. So yeah, a much different situation.

498
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: Doesn't look like anything serious. In fact, after he initially

499
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 2: suffered the injury, he went back out and tried to test.

500
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: As I said, yeah, he I mean, it wasn't like,

501
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 3: oh no, something popped. I mean, but well, I'm sure

502
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 3: we'll get more reports on it, but it didn't look

503
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 3: something to really worry.

504
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 2: No, I would expect him and maybe not to practice

505
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: the next couple of days and then be back maybe

506
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 2: on Tuesday or something like that. I'm just a total,

507
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 2: total guess right now. But uh, you know, when you

508
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: have like yesterday, he didn't do a whole lot in

509
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 2: the team portion. It wasn't just him. Uh, you know,

510
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 2: Cam Hayward didn't do a lot. Make fitn't by design.

511
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: By design, Mike Tomlin will do that with players every

512
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: once in a while because you've got younger players at

513
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: those positions that you want to take a look at,

514
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: or you guys at those positions that you want to

515
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: take a look at. We talked about that yesterday.

516
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 3: You know, Minka is just hanging deep deep middle center field,

517
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 3: you know, not participating, just watching and taking mental reps.

518
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not not a big deal.

519
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 3: Don't be too discouraged or concerned.

520
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, those things are gonna happen. You know. That's the

521
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: one thing you know that the Thursday reminded should remind

522
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 2: everybody that you know, you're gonna have injuries. They're gonna happen. Yeah,

523
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: you hate to see him happen in practice situations. That's rough,

524
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: you know.

525
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 3: I mean again, I mentioned Ramsey and Gardner Johnson. Sounds

526
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: like Ramsey's gonna be out till December at the earlier

527
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 3: six eight weeks. Yeah, okay, so not a lot of

528
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: news on Burrow, but he was a big topic yesterday.

529
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a strained calf. I guess they avoided disaster,

530
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 3: but unfortunately it's gonna happen. And not that these guys

531
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: aren't in shape. They're in miraculous shape, especially compared to

532
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: generation's past. But it's a little different out there getting

533
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 3: you know, getting back to a practice routine and you know,

534
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: were they in the beach two weeks ago or whatever too.

535
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: I mean it's you know, you get back to doing

536
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: this every day, and you know you're bound to have

537
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 3: some some aches and pains and some pools and strains

538
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: and things like that too, you know.

539
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so those things are gonna happen. Looks like

540
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 2: we're going with our little nine on seven drill here again.

541
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: So see how this looks.

542
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, just finished U punt team the farfield, had some

543
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 3: small drills going on, a lot of special teams related.

544
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: Now we'll do, uh what it looks like. It looks

545
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 3: like it's gonna be the ones. Kenny looks like he's

546
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: gonna start. I don't think that's gonna be the one

547
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: defense though.

548
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: Doesn't look like it. Yeah, I get some second string

549
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 2: guys out there, even maybe further down the line than that.

550
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 2: This is the time. You know a lot of people

551
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 2: like to watch the nine on seven drills. Yeah, I

552
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: don't get a lot out of them.

553
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: No, I think they're really favored the offense so much.

554
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: So typically when this is going on, I'll go over

555
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: and watch the trench work that you're not like, they'll

556
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 2: have the offense, the offensive line go over and work

557
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: in one on ones against the defensive line and we

558
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: don't even get to see that now because they can't

559
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 2: do it.

560
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 3: You can't do it yet right right, So they're just

561
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,239
Speaker 3: doing footwork stuff and drill stuff and get off and

562
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 3: that type of thing with the big people.

563
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 2: Do we get some So I'm just looking here at

564
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 2: the defense. It's on the field right now, and uh,

565
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: we do have Levi Wallace out there. You do have

566
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: Joey Porter Junior out there in the corners. The nickel

567
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: is Chandon Sullivan today, so that yeah, it's just front line.

568
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cole Holcombs in the middle almost like he's in

569
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: control there.

570
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's shacked up.

571
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 3: He is yeah, and Roberts next him. I guess that's

572
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 3: basically the starters or Peters.

573
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: So the four corners out there, I'm looking to see

574
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: where they're playing Peterson. Is he at a safety position

575
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 2: or is that that would be they line up? Yeah,

576
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: that'll be. Neil's out there as well, so is he

577
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 2: the is looks like Patrick Peterson's lining up is the

578
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: free interesting let's pay attention to that. Yeah, how about

579
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: that a little breaking news there. Well, Neil is a

580
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: deep post safety here, but now they're switching spots. Yeah,

581
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: Peterson Peters is the deep safety there. That's the beauty.

582
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: You know, you talked about the safety depth there. I

583
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: never think of him in that life.

584
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 3: He should get play another five or six years as

585
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 3: a safety, absolutely, I mean if he so chooses. I

586
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 3: mean we've talked about this a lot since they signed him.

587
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 3: Could he be a slot? Could he be a safety?

588
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 3: I mean, especially if Porter comes on. He answered everything

589
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 3: is yes, he answers yes, right, and they're now they're

590
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: showing it as we speak. He's aligning not outside the

591
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 3: numbers and a press man coverage, you know, like you

592
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 3: would think of him. That's a nice read by Neil

593
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 3: by the way, he started out as a deep middle.

594
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 3: It was creeping up at the snap. They swung it

595
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 3: out the nausey and he just read it like crazy

596
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 3: and was all over it almost as soon as no

597
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 3: as you got the ball.

598
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, good job. That's a nice little route there

599
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: is that Pickens.

600
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Well, long time to throw though, I mean,

601
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 3: that's that's one of those right where you really favors that.

602
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 2: You really have a lot of time for that to

603
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: develop them. Its like a little button hook in and

604
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 2: shook the two defenders there that he got in between

605
00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 2: and with the.

606
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 3: Catch between Peterson and Wallace.

607
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just don't know if he would have time

608
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: to make that throw right in a normal situation.

609
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 3: And of course I'd be bodies in front of him

610
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 3: and throwing lanes would be disrupted and that sort of

611
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 3: thing too.

612
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: But Patrick Peterson his ability to play basically, I mean,

613
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 2: if you had to put it, you could put him

614
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: a strong safety if you wanted to.

615
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 3: I think so the impression I'm getting is strong and

616
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,719
Speaker 3: free here isn't going to be as noticeable as as

617
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: it has been in the Edmunds days. Yeah you know

618
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 3: what I mean, Yes, that doesn't mean Mica is going

619
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 3: to be I mean, who knows. We haven't seen a

620
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: lot of make on the practice field, but.

621
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: The first one, it's just all they all, you know,

622
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 2: four seconds to get rid of the football because I

623
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: was getting opened.

624
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 3: I was focused on Roberts there one on one with

625
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 3: friar Mouth, and he was in his hip pocket the

626
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 3: whole time that was. You would think that would favor

627
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: friar Mouth, but Roberts won that one. Crafty veteran, Yeah,

628
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 3: crafty veterans. So yeah, interesting little We're still sticking with this,

629
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 3: uh defensive alignment here Porter on one side, Levi Wallace

630
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 3: on the other side. On the outside, he's still Chandon

631
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 3: Sullivan in the slot.

632
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 2: I don't see a slot out there right now.

633
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: No, I think there's only four DB's out there at

634
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 3: the moment.

635
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 2: So typic basically a base type. Look. We got two

636
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 2: edge guys, two guys splitting out wide. Here we go

637
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 2: Golden down here on the on the bottom here with

638
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 2: against Washington. They passed him off, okay, yeah, he came

639
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: in and rushed and Hulkham went out to cover the

640
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 2: back in the flat, which was Anthony McFarland, and checked

641
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: it down to him.

642
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: Look like they wanted to go downfield. But then he

643
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: got out of his hands and checked it down, see

644
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: like a big thing. I mean, I'm not a quarterback coach,

645
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 3: I'm not offensive coordinator, but Kenny held the ball just

646
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 3: statistically near the top.

647
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: Of the league.

648
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 3: That for the non Hurts Fields type of guys in

649
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 3: terms of time to throw, I would hope that they're

650
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 3: rushing him in this drill. Not rushing is the wrong word,

651
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 3: but don't get comfortable holding the ball three seconds in

652
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 3: this trill, I mean, because that's not reality. You know,

653
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 3: get that thing out, Get that thing out. And that's

654
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: got to be tough because there is no pass rush

655
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 3: and you don't have to get the ball out of

656
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 3: your hands, but you're sitting there waiting for Washington uncover.

657
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: It doesn't quite happen, dumps it down. So like that's

658
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: a little more.

659
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: Realistic in these kind of situations. I don't mind that though,

660
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: because right I want my young quarterback to look at

661
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: all the different you know, go through all your progressions

662
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: here because there is no pass rush, because there may

663
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: be times where you do have that kind of time.

664
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you've seen it, you know, you've seen in

665
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: the past.

666
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: That's how the play's designed.

667
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 2: People are screaming, Oh, he had like six seconds to

668
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: throw that ball like that happens. It does happen, right right,

669
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: you know, maybe the defense they showed, you know, showed something,

670
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: but only rush too. You're still gonna be able to

671
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: go through your progressions and find the open guy. Yeah. Yeah,

672
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: nice crowd here again today, Matt.

673
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is the hot one, thought one. Yeah,

674
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: this is a real hot One's supposed to get a

675
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 3: little cooler, I think the next couple of days. Yeah,

676
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 3: but we got rain maybe on the horizon.

677
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: That was a nice throw again.

678
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 3: It took a little while to uncover, but that's that's

679
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: a tough, tough one to could deal with with Fiarmuth. Yeah,

680
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 3: kind of an inside out route there.

681
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess Mark Robinson there and that's fireman should

682
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: win that a lot. Yeah, he should. Yeah. But that's

683
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: a nice game.

684
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 3: I mean that was what you know, after before the catch,

685
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: probably fifteen twenty yards downfield and give or take.

686
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, just inside or just outside the hash so again

687
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: middle of the field.

688
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 3: Middlefield, went down, pushed them pushed them on, you know,

689
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 3: downfield with the stem a little bit and then broke

690
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 3: it off.

691
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,239
Speaker 2: I think is gonna have a monster. I did too.

692
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:29,719
Speaker 2: I did too.

693
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: I really like the way he's looking and moving and

694
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 3: very comfortable.

695
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see here, we still got to pick it

696
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 2: out there. Now we get Gentry who else out there

697
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: looks like Gunner and the other slot. Gentry goes in

698
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: motion there, Jaylen Warren out of the backfield and taking

699
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: a shot here. And that was a shot to Cody

700
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: Cody White. Yeah, didn't really uncover. It didn't really happen. Yeah,

701
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: So threw it to the outside shoulder out of bounds.

702
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 2: That's fine. Take Yeah, take your shot.

703
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: And pretty put it where it wasn't gonna be in

704
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 3: harm's way. You know, a right free safety had showed

705
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 3: some coverage, there are some range there to get over

706
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: and there's no way he's picking that ball.

707
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 2: Off though, No, no, And they have changed up the

708
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 2: the defensive alignment here a little bit. With this group.

709
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 2: You get Trey Norwood. Now out there with the other

710
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: defensive back is Kenny Robinson. It's a third year player

711
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: out of West Virginia. So m I have to ask

712
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: West about him. Yeah, there you go. Sure if West

713
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: knows all about Kenny Robinson, there we go.

714
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 3: That's quick, little hitter there, pick up you know, five

715
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 3: ten yards?

716
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, right now they're working downs again. That was second

717
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 2: in about five and that would have picked up the

718
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 2: first downs, and then we're back to first and ten again.

719
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 3: So it looks like we're bringing Mitch back in.

720
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: Lots of good work being done here, even though the

721
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: other pads are still not in pads, I should say,

722
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 2: but we're gonna take another break, he is all. I

00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: is Matt Williamson. This is the Drive on Steelers Nation

733
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: Radio and ESPN nine seventy. And we just saw some

734
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: stuff there during the break. Alex high Smith went off.

735
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 2: He got stepped on, got stepped on, right, not a

736
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: big deal there, but Calvin Austin getting down the sideline

737
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: for a nice long game from Kenny Pickett co Holkaming coverage.

738
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: Though, yeah, I said, good job creating as though, and

739
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 3: you know in the quarterback finding it. I know he

740
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: brought him up earlier, but I keep getting drawn to herbig,

741
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: to be honest with I mean, his get off, his

742
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: hand usage, he really gets low my hunches. When you

743
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 3: guys started interviewing offensive tackles, his name's gonna come up

744
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: a bunch.

745
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they actually brought him in. We were talking about

746
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 2: where when he you know, and when he's out there

747
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 2: in the second unit, he's on the left side and teaching.

748
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: When high Smith went off the field for that play,

749
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: he was first right off the bench right. Yeah, her

750
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: big on the right side in that situation and had

751
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: again the great get off and then a little duck

752
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 2: and under move that was very TJ.

753
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: Wattish, very much.

754
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: So.

755
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: I mean he's not the biggest. I mean that's that's

756
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: not going to change. But boy, he's active and he

757
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 3: gets off the ball and he's low feet keep moving

758
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 3: yeah yeah, yeah, that doesn't help. That doesn't help them

759
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 3: and leave him on block, but his motor go I

760
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: mean yea changes direction well too.

761
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm interested.

762
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 3: He's one, you know, and talking to him another way,

763
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 3: of course, a fellow Wisconsin guy like TJ.

764
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: Watt. H they've known each other for a while now,

765
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 2: and he's picked TJ's brain. I think they've worked out together.

766
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: They've worked out. Yeah, you know that what. I don't

767
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 2: think it's an accident that that little duck under move.

768
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: I think he's probably learned that from t J.

769
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: Watt And this team, more than most, has a little

770
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 3: bit of a history of a little bit of nepotism

771
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 3: in their scouting too, So maybe they picked TJ's brain

772
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 3: on that one too. You know, what, do you what

773
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 3: do you think about this guy? How's he fit with us?

774
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 2: I must have gave him any of that and watching

775
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: his tape I fell in love with him. So yeah, yeah,

776
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, anybody whose motor runs like that,

777
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 2: I'll take that guy on my team nine times out

778
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 2: of ten.

779
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: Sure. I mean, at worst, he's going to be a

780
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 3: core special.

781
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 2: Team guy, you know what I mean? He got him

782
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 2: in the fourth round, they got the fourth winn. Yeah,

783
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: that's a steal. Yeah, I mean those are the kind

784
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: of guys that those down the roster guys, and I

785
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 2: think he's gonna end up being a core special teamer

786
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 2: for this team. Play a lot of snaps because there's

787
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: some spots open there as well.

788
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 3: Oh right, Ben Snells of the world aren't back, right right.

789
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: You know, when people start cutting this team, don't forget

790
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: about James Pierre, don't forget about Miles Boykin. Because of

791
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: those aspects.

792
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're I'm not saying they're guaranteed to make the team,

793
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 3: but they got a real strong case because they're going

794
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 3: to be a core courpse B team guy.

795
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 2: I would bet my house right now that Miles killerbrew

796
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: unless he.

797
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: Gets hurt, the team, yeah, yeah, exactly. Because of that,

798
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 3: they might not play a defensive snat Yeah right.

799
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 2: Right right. You got to have a few of those

800
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 2: guys on your roster, no doubt. But a guy like

801
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 2: her Big, you know, who's who's still sending as a player,

802
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: that's a perfect opportunity for him to get out there

803
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: and you know, makes a noise, and again there's an

804
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: opportunity for that at some point. I want to see

805
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: him bump inside, you know, if he shows that he

806
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 2: could if he's shows that he could be a really

807
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 2: good special teams player right now. It's kind of like

808
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 2: the Jason World situation when he was a young player

809
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 2: where he was blocked by and he was a second

810
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: round pick.

811
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 3: You have a fourth round pick right.

812
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: With with you know, Alex Heismith's signing a four year deal.

813
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: I mean TJ still has two years left on his deal.

814
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 3: And Golden's a Golden's a guy, a professional double digit

815
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 3: sack guy in his great ceilings.

816
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: You're ceiling right now unless somebody gets hurt. But if

817
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 2: you bump inside, yeah, you might have an opportunity to

818
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: find a path to starting at some point. So I

819
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: wouldn't mind seeing that at some point possible. Yeah. I

820
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: like what he does off the edge, though, I mean,

821
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 2: what doesn't mean he can't do both right now?

822
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: I hear you speaking of her big big brother was

823
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 3: out there moving pretty good or yeah he's big brother right, Yeah,

824
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 3: they had him pulling on the play while brother he's

825
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 3: a large human being and he got.

826
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: Down downhill in a hurried I mean rumbling.

827
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 3: He's a handful.

828
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean they've got they've got options all over

829
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 2: the the offensive line, the defensive line.

830
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that edge group back the little brother you go.

831
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: You might have four great, really good excellent backup impressive prospect.

832
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. And there's nothing wrong with that.

833
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: Depth there hasn't been great the last couple of years.

834
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 2: No, it's I think they learned their lesson last year

835
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: with Wat's injury. Hey, we gotta we gotta be better there.

836
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: Oh that's nicely, nicely done. Yeah, well designed.

837
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: There a lot of misdirection to the right and tight

838
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 3: end leaks out to the left and wide open.

839
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: Hold nobody else is out there. Yeah, whole defense went

840
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: with them, So a good job there. Again, that's a

841
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 2: you know, you're down the line here, that's made some

842
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 2: Rudolph at quarterback. Just so.

843
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 3: I mean, they're running the plays. You're going to see that, right,

844
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 3: everybody else run.

845
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: But a lot of inexperienced defensive guys out, no doubt,

846
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 2: no doubt. You know. A bit too hard on the

847
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 2: play action, fake sure did, But play.

848
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 3: Action, Matt, Yeah, play action Ye, good stuff.

849
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: A lot of motion, a lot of play action. I

850
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: like it. Yeah, Matt, huge on the play action of

851
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: the game.

852
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 3: These aren't the stars out there, but this is what

853
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 3: you're gonna see though in late and this is important

854
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 3: stuff though, the Steelers.

855
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: Should be really good in the preseason this year.

856
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, good point, especially because you should be able to

857
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 3: field a really strong number two oh line, you know,

858
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 3: like most teams can't do that and it ruins everything,

859
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 3: it really does. So you crazy preseason betters out there,

860
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 3: you might.

861
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 2: Want to take the Steelers. Nice job of eighty five

862
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: getting downfield. Yeah, notice of the blocking there. That's that's

863
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: the the big wide receiver. So I don't know his name,

864
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: but Dan chisne Okay, he's six three two out of

865
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 2: Penn State, third year guy now hustling downfield to make

866
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: a block. Yeah it was. It was a run and

867
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 2: he was over on the in the in the left

868
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: flat and busted his butt to get down there and

869
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 2: get into the play to get out in front of

870
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 2: the as a lead blocker. That's that's that's the kind

871
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: of stuff that shows up on tape. Oh yeah. Coach

872
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 2: Extep's like, oy, that's a nice Yeah, that's good hustle.

873
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 3: Sure, I mean he's gonna have of course. I mean

874
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 3: everyone the planet knows he has an uphill climb to

875
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 3: make the team. But you do that in this practice

876
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 3: and then runs down a gunner for Danny and you know,

877
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 3: oh wow, I mean and then instead of going in

878
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter of the preseason game, he goes in

879
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 3: the third and right, right, somehow you stick on the

880
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 3: practice squad.

881
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: Before you know it, and you're a professional athlete, you

882
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 2: know absolutely. I'm just watching Mark Bruner here with his son.

883
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah he's here. You know he Mark works in the

884
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: scouting department, so he's got his son here with him.

885
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: And Mark can still play.

886
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. Now he'll tell you that his body

887
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: wouldn't be able to still while he is not falling

888
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 2: out of shape like some ex players that you know.

889
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: He still looks apart, still looks like a first round.

890
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 2: Play and one of the all time great guys.

891
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 3: I don't know him well, but yeah, everyone raves about him.

892
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 2: And but good to see him here. You like seeing

893
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 2: stuff like that. When the guys they're able to bring

894
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 2: their kids in and it comes full circle a little bit.

895
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 3: It's tremendous. Yeah, add to the environment that is going

896
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 3: to do it.

897
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 2: It looks like, you know, they just broke huddle here

898
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 2: at the middle of the field, and.

899
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 3: Today's practice went longer than yesterday.

00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 2: to two uh, basically two full hours. Good. There'll be

903
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 2: some times where they go two fifteen ish, but there

904
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 2: are limits on how long you can be on the
