0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Good evening, Steeler Nation, how we doing well? That's good

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 2>us too. I only have heard that in a while,

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 2>our number three of the drive here as we roll

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 2>into the evening, it is Saturday night here in Latrobe.

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>He next Saturday is going to be a crazy day

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.960
<v Speaker 2>with a little Saturday night lights a week from today.

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>As as Matt and I have got your final hour

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>of coverage here for today for this week, and uh

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>and we once again have an update that you've all

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.039
<v Speaker 2>been waiting for the painting robot is out there and

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 2>it's doing a good job so far. It's got into

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 2>the film room, but got better every single day. It's uh,

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 2>it's once again putting down nice, nice, big and uh

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 2>invisible white lines. I said and visible. That sounded like

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 2>invisible because I said it so fast. I see them

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 2>nice big and visible lines. Uh, and so far, so good.

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 2>They're I think they're looking at it now over on

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.679
<v Speaker 2>the far side. But it's the last couple of lines

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 2>that it's painted have been have been uh, have been

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 2>very successful. Yeah, yeah, I didn't realize this. I guess

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I probably should have known. But like they they repaint

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the lines and the numbers after every practice, Is that true?

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's what that's what they've been doing so far.

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 2>They just painted those those numbers yesterday, didn't they or

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe doing one field at a time.

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Maybe I'm just wondering if this is just a sample

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 3>to see if the thing works.

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I think definitely for this.

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, yeah, but like the guys paying him now

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 3>for Monday practice.

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.799
<v Speaker 2>True, but like the guys on the far side of

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 2>the field are doing the on the third field or

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 2>doing the numbers right now?

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I don't think they do it every day.

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 4>You're probably right, but they've been out.

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:20.639
<v Speaker 5>Here this year.

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm just thinking historically, I don't remember this happening every day.

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, that's that is That is a good point.

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 2>We'll keep We'll keep you, of course, updated on all

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the important moving and shaking here across the campus on

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 2>the grounds of Chuckn'll Field before we before we get

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>up out of here about an hour from now. But Matt,

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 2>what do you say we get into some tweets here

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 2>like we like we like to do to kick off

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 2>the five o'clock hour. Pittsburgh Conversation says it's way too early,

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>but before preseason starts. What is more likely A or B?

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>A Drew Aller pans out and we don't need to

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.959
<v Speaker 2>use a first round pick on quarterback next year, or

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 2>B he doesn't pan out and we're drafting a quarterback

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:57.959
<v Speaker 2>in round one next year.

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh B, I think it's b Regards Wardless.

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Again, I other than if you tell me right now,

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Rodgers misses a substantial amount of time this season

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>due to injury. I don't know how any of us

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 2>are going to be confident enough and gonna have enough

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>sample size and Will Howard or and Drew Aller to

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 2>pretend like we know about that, you.

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Know, right, yes, I mean hypothetical. Maybe the quarterback class

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 3>isn't as.

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 5>Good as you thought. A lot of dudes stay in.

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 3>You're not in a position to get the guy you love,

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 3>and you didn't add anyone in free agency. The draft

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 3>rolls around and oh my gosh, this wide receiver that's

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 3>so good. There you take him and say, let's roll

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 3>with aler for the year. Now, that's still agreeing with

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 3>your point. I almost don't know unless he plays eight

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 3>plus games this year, which isn't at all the strategy.

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 3>How does he prove to you that, oh, we got

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 3>this taken care of, so you gotta lean that way.

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 3>And I liked how Jerry do Like mentioned it the

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 3>other night because I agree with this side of it

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 3>as well.

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 5>He thought. And the Steelers basically said.

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 3>This, they weren't going to draft a quarterback in this

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 3>most recent draft unless they thought that player's upside is higher.

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 5>Than Will Howard.

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.279
<v Speaker 3>Yes, correct, they might take the same approach that we're

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 3>not taking a quarterback in next year's draft unless we

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 3>think his upside is higher than Drew hours, but a

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 3>first round quarterbacks probably is or is further along, or

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 3>at least it's another bite at the apple. I'd have

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 3>a hard time believing there's not a quarterback need. Yeah right,

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 3>and I can't imagine, I mean, unless they would sign

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 3>Baker Mayfield or something, you know, and just push a

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 3>can down the road.

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Matt tweets and says, Hey, guys, hope you're looking forward

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 2>to your day off tomorrow. What are the odds that

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 2>if a Sante Samuel keeps playing the way he does

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>that Joey Porter Junior could potentially be a trade candidate

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 2>he could fetch a first round pick would be big

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 2>in next year's draft. I love JPJ. It just seems

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>like the Steelers and him might have some differences in

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.160
<v Speaker 2>the valuation. Also, what's your favorite food that you look

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>forward to eating when you go out to La Trope?

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 5>Crab legs?

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 4>Crab legs at dinner tonight.

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 5>So as we hang up here campus.

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 4>The food here on campus is very good.

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 2>It is sushi days, a lot of fun they do,

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 2>like a barbecue day that is fantastic. Uh man, I

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 2>love the It's just it's wolfly day here rightfully. So

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 2>but I love the Fat Guy Delight at Sharky's, which

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>is the sandwich that Wolf created.

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.679
<v Speaker 4>We had one the other night. It is a cheese

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 4>steak wrapped in a pizza.

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 2>That is that is Craig Wolfly to the Tea Baby,

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 2>and I that's sound.

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 5>Like Sharky said.

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 3>In Wolf's book, he listed his ten favorite foods and

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 3>that was number nine.

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 4>That was number nine. Yep.

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 2>And I could eat stuff like that all the time

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 2>when I was younger. Not so much now, but I

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 2>make sure to have I make sure to have a

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Fat Guy Delight, a Fat Guy Special.

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 4>It's Sharkies every year.

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>And man, the the sweet and hot wings at Dino's

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:55.840
<v Speaker 2>are just delightful.

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 4>Those are the two.

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Things Sharky's, Sharky's Fat Guy Delight, and in the sweet

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>and Hot wings from Dino's I'm always looking for.

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm looking with these scrab legs here was pretty soon

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 5>before I hit home.

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think. I don't think there's any way

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 2>that they're trading Joey Porter Junior.

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 3>It's crossed my mind too, and I've hesitated even bringing

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 3>up on the air because I don't think that's something

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 3>they're actively looking to do. But we've seen contract negotiations

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 3>get ugly in the years in where it would be

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 3>hard for me to think that there's that much of

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 3>a detachment, especially with the option of the franchise tag

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 3>at your disposal a year from now. You don't have

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.719
<v Speaker 3>to get this done right this minute. But we've also

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 3>raved about the corner depth. But I think that's what

0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.479
<v Speaker 3>they wanted. I don't think they created this depth to

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 3>exactly dip away from it, you know, and Dean's about

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 3>thirty years old. Everett probably isn't ready right this minute.

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 3>You do have Ecals, you do have Ramsey, Samuel's playing

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.599
<v Speaker 3>really really well. I think it's just a good problem

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 3>to have. But I mean I'll trade anybody, I mean,

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.720
<v Speaker 3>throw out something on Tampa Bay calls and says, we'll

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 3>give a vitavey in a fourth for Porter.

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 5>And throw in one of your d linemen, you know

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 5>what I mean. Yeah, I mean.

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>I still don't know that. I don't know if i'd

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 2>do that. But it is a lot older. Yeah, you

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 2>would get older, right, And it's just a position that

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>it seems like for the first time in a long time,

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>you really feel.

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 5>Like it's the first time they're really happy, but you'll

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 5>like what.

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 4>You got in there.

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of which Ian says, I can't remember a time

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 2>in recent Steelers history that the dB room is this deep.

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 4>Can you? Also?

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Keanu playing three tech instead of nose tackle is a

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 2>very welcome change. Thanks for the weekend.

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Grind Boys couldn't agree more on Benton. I think Black

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 3>and Joseph Day should handle that job better than he did,

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 3>and I think it's better for Benton to make the move.

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 4>Completely agree.

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't love the safety depth. I mean, we just

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 3>talked to corner depths really really strong. I think Savage

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 3>is a bit of a wild card there. The fact

0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 3>that Ramsey can do corner and safety also adds to

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 3>the safety depth, but I wouldn't say the safety room

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 3>is remarkably deep.

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 4>No, I think that's I think that's fair. Yeah, I

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 4>think that's fair.

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.680
<v Speaker 5>I do. I am excited about Spears getting.

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Though, absolutely, Yeah, absolutely, he's and he started to get

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 2>a little big of a bigger bites of the apple

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 2>out here so far, so I bet.

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 5>He plays a lot in the preseason.

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm I'm excited to keep an eye

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 2>on him as as we go further and further along

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 2>into this process.

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 4>A couple of tweets about Wolf.

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:30.400
<v Speaker 2>As I'm sure doesn't surprise anybody, Wallace tweets and said

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 2>had a feeling Wolf would be inducted into the Hall

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 2>of Honor. When I heard it this morning, I had

0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I had to cry. There's been tears in my eyes

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 2>when you guys tell your stories about him. I never

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:40.559
<v Speaker 2>got to meet him, but I did get to talk

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.199
<v Speaker 2>to him on the phone calling into the show a

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 2>few times. Those who knew him as well must be

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 2>having some feelings too.

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 4>No, absolutely sure, it was without a doubt.

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I jumped on earlier this afternoon for a segment with

0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.559
<v Speaker 2>with Ed Troop and Brian Bacco and those guys, and

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>that was kind of while practice was going on, Yeah,

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 2>and they were asking me about some practice stuff and

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:04.320
<v Speaker 2>things like that, and then they asked me about Wolf,

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 2>and it was kind of the first time, you know,

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.080
<v Speaker 2>I talked about it there for the first time before

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 2>we did on the show, and I was getting.

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 4>Getting a little emotional.

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:14.000
<v Speaker 2>They're kind of with just you know, not being really

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 2>expecting to talk about it in that moment.

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.199
<v Speaker 4>Not that I was upset that they asked me, obviously.

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.599
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, no, without a doubt, a lot of a

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.839
<v Speaker 2>lot of happy tears around that, and certainly will be

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 2>September twenty seventh at Akrachuer Stadium against the Bengals when

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 2>that becomes official and Wolf's family they be gathered there.

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:30.559
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely.

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Nate tweets and talks about his favorite Craig Wolfly

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 2>broadcasting moment.

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.199
<v Speaker 4>So basically, Matt, this is a good story.

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I've ever told you this, and

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 2>it's it's what Nate was was was tweeting about here,

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.680
<v Speaker 2>and he said he always had the infectious laugh that

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 2>made his show so fun to listen to.

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.959
<v Speaker 4>So glad he's in the Hall of honor. Wolf hated it.

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Our longtime OG listeners, they remember, there was once upon

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.319
<v Speaker 2>a time on this radio network where we could play

0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:58.440
<v Speaker 2>any music we wanted to.

0:09:58.720 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, yeah, so you.

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 4>Know, coming in and out of breaks, we could play

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 4>a C.

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 5>D C and and Motley way to the Top till

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 5>you're rock and rolling.

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Guns and roses and and and kind of you know

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 2>all that stuff. Well, Wolf obviously was very disappointed that

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>was the case. So when that first happened, I used

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 2>to joke with it when we weren't allowed anymore. I'd

0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 2>be like, Wolf, I could play you five seconds of

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 2>whatever song you want, but that's it, you know. I

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I was like, you know, because that's all we could get.

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 2>After that, you got to pay the licensing fee for it.

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 2>We could get five seconds.

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.439
<v Speaker 5>I didn't realize that it was even the rule.

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 2>And so Wolf was like he was like, he was

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 2>like one day, one day he was like, I need

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.079
<v Speaker 2>you to give me the first five seconds to start

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 2>me up by the rolling Stones and you know how

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 2>there is it's that guitar.

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 3>Bright Oh yeah, Burn.

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 4>So what I would do was so we did that

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.199
<v Speaker 4>right at the start of the show, and then all

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 4>throughout the course of the show and the following week,

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 4>at random times when Wolf was just in the middle

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 4>of a thought or a monologue, I would play the

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 4>little burn.

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 2>And so Wolf would be like, you know, he'd be

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.679
<v Speaker 2>talking about uh Broder, he'd be talking about Dan.

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 6>Moore Junior, or you know, Kean or not Keanu Betton,

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 6>Kevin Dotson, you know, like something and a g and

0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 6>I would just randomly hit that button and would just turn.

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 2>And Wolf would start cracking up. He'd be dying. He

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 2>thought it was hilarious. Good get him off his train

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 2>of thought, which was you know, it was pretty easy

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 2>to do with our guy Wolf. He he could he

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>could be distracted pretty easily, certainly.

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, no, that was that was a lot of fun.

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 4>I enjoyed.

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed producing that guy's shows for a few years

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 2>that I got to do it. That is, that's for sure.

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 2>The some people in the radio business are a little

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.719
<v Speaker 2>bit of divas, Matt, you certainly or not. That's why

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I love working with you too. Wolf was a Wolf

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:47.839
<v Speaker 2>was the opposite.

0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Of it now and he's a celebrity, you know, right, yeah,

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 3>recognize ever where he goes.

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 4>Funny, funny, quick little Wolf story for you. There was one.

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 2>This was not too long ago. This was uh, this

0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.200

<v Speaker 2>the bonus hour in Matt, I want to play a

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 2>little conversation with our friend Mike Persuda and one of

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 2>the newest Steelers who we haven't really discussed.

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 4>Much Robert Tanyan, Oh, Yeah, as he is.

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 2>He's you know, there's gonna need to be a third

0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 2>tight end who yes, emerges, there's a spot there.

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 4>There's a spot there.

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 2>And he's obviously has experienced in the past with Aaron Rodgers,

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 2>has experienced in the past with plenty of this coaching staff.

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:54.640
<v Speaker 4>Thirty two years old, veteran.

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Tight end and an interesting piece of you know, potentially

0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 2>filling out that tight end room.

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you kind he got him for nothing late

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 3>in the process, and maybe he can resurrect a career

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 3>that was pretty successful in this league. And I'm sure

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know the man, but I'm excited to hear

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 3>what he's say. I'm sure he has a professional approach

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 3>because he lasted quite a bit without being you know,

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 3>the ultra talented guy. Sure, And what I and you

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 3>need to dig into is what's his values on special teams?

0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 3>Is he on kickoff return or where's he help there?

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:24.640
<v Speaker 4>Those things will be seen.

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Here is what Robert Tanyan had to say earlier today

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 2>after practice to our very own Mike Persuda.

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 7>Welcome to Camp Combo Blocks you buy upmc our guest

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 7>today tight end Robert Tanyan Robert. Your name was brought

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 7>up to Mike McCarthy by the media today. Mike McCarthy

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 7>spoke glowingly about the chance to work with you again.

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 7>Does it feel like old times on Europe?

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it does. I mean he got me at a

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.360
<v Speaker 8>twenty three, twenty four year old and now I'm thirty two,

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.920
<v Speaker 8>you know, eight, nine, ten years later. So it's cool

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 8>to spin back and be you know, a veteran, a

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 8>leader for this group of guys and just you know,

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 8>navigate the and help the young guys navigate and get

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 8>better every day. And along the way, I'm getting better too,

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 8>and you know, I'm not gonna stop learning. And obviously

0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 8>we have a great quarterback, a great defense to lead us.

0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 8>So I'm I'm happy to be a part of it

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 8>and I'm looking forward to it.

0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 7>I can see why Mike McCarthy was enthusiastic about having

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 7>you around. You're showing up here, yeah, with regularity. You

0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 7>back healthy.

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 5>Do you feel Yeah? I feel feel as good as.

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 8>You ever have, feel great, feel young, another burst of energy.

0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 8>We've got a great offensive group, a great locker room.

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 8>I mean, this camp is a great time to just

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 8>you know, mold together, the camaraderie and stuff, just hanging

0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 8>out at night and you know, building that foundation off

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 8>the field that leads on the field. And I mean,

0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.240
<v Speaker 8>I've said it a hundred times very since I've been here.

0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 8>I love this group of guys. I've only been around

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 8>them for you know, a couple of weeks in OTAs

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 8>and now a couple of weeks here. But I love

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 8>this group of guys and I can't wait to be

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 8>a part of it and see where we're going. And

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 8>obviously our eyes are sitting on a Super Bowl. When

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 8>you got a great defense like that, a veteran quarterback

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 8>obviously of Aaron's that, I mean, you have a great

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 8>place to go.

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 7>We saw another two minute drive ending a touchdown directed

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 7>by Aaron Rodgers today.

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 8>Did any of that look familiar to you? I mean,

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.160
<v Speaker 8>that's that's that's his thing. Two minute and obviously even

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.159
<v Speaker 8>the no huddle when it's not too minute, we will

0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 8>we just run the offense like two minute, And I

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.920
<v Speaker 8>think that is a focus. You know, you can see

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 8>us doing two minute a couple of times a day,

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 8>whether it's walked through or it's or it's full speed.

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.160
<v Speaker 8>And I mean, like I said, when you have someone

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 8>like that who's played almost twenty years, who's seen every defense,

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.720
<v Speaker 8>who's played in almost every offense. I mean we got

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 8>to we gotta be able to play up to his

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.200
<v Speaker 8>his speed and his mind. And what better way to

0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.199
<v Speaker 8>do it than in practice, full speed and with the

0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 8>bolts flying.

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 7>Last thing for you, Robert, this camp very different to

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.879
<v Speaker 7>people who've been around here a long time, such as myself.

0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 7>The early start times, yeah, the emphasis on two minutes,

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.399
<v Speaker 7>the tempo, and the speed with which you guys are working.

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:54.920
<v Speaker 7>Is this what you expected?

0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 5>And do you.

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 7>Understand the method behind these the point of these new methods?

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, of course.

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.080
<v Speaker 8>I mean every every coach has their different their different views,

0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 8>and every offensive coordinator has their different things. But ultimately,

0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:09.159
<v Speaker 8>you got to play fast, and you got to be

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.640
<v Speaker 8>in every position in practice before you get in the game,

0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.680
<v Speaker 8>so the game slows down and then in the game

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 8>it's quote unquote easier. But uh yeah, I mean once

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:19.520
<v Speaker 8>everyone buys in, and I mean everyone is buying in,

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.119
<v Speaker 8>and uh once you kind of get every all the

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.679
<v Speaker 8>chemistry rolling together and everyone's on the same page, I mean,

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 8>good things are to come. Like I said this, this

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:31.119
<v Speaker 8>group of guys is amazing, mature, the veterans are obviously great.

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 8>From Cam TJ on the other side, Uh yeah, I'm

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 8>excited to be a part of it and and and

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.359
<v Speaker 8>just help lead and be an older vet and yeah,

0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:41.280
<v Speaker 8>I'm just I'm just pumped. I'm just going along for

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:43.160
<v Speaker 8>the ride and enjoy every day.

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:45.640
<v Speaker 7>Robert, appreciate your time. Welcome to Saint Vincent College.

0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:46.520
<v Speaker 8>Appreciate you, Thank you.

0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:52.000
<v Speaker 2>That was Mike Persudo with new Steelers tight end Robert Tanyan. Matt,

0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.840
<v Speaker 2>you had mentioned any potential special teams acumen for him.

0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 2>He has logged over seven hundred special team snaps in

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 2>his NFL career, including one hundred and eight last season

0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 2>with the Kansas City Chiefs. He played twenty six percent

0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.320
<v Speaker 2>of their special team's plays in Kansas City last year.

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.439
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so I don't think he'll probably be on like

0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:13.479
<v Speaker 3>punt team, but he's probably on like kickoff kickoff.

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So certainly an opportunity for him with a familiar quarterback,

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 2>familiar coaching staff, to be that third tight end. And

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I think you're right, especially if he can can carve

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:28.119
<v Speaker 2>out a role for himself on special teams. Final segment

<v Speaker 2>Final segment for us here on the drive on this Saturday,

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.919
<v Speaker 2>as we will have a quiet campus, we'll all go

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.760
<v Speaker 2>home and see our own beds much needed, and then

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 2>be back for a big day on Monday. Matt, of course,

0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Mike McCarthy, it's been a different We've outlined this many times.

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.919
<v Speaker 2>It's been a different training camp so far than what

0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:47.800
<v Speaker 2>we're used to seeing. I'm very excited to see what

0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:49.680
<v Speaker 2>that looks like over these next couple weeks when you

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 2>get the pads to go on, when you get closer

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:55.479
<v Speaker 2>to preseason games and all that stuff. But certainly a

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 2>lot for us to just kind of digest I think

0:20:58.840 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 2>every single day out here.

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that part's been really interesting, really fun, and I'm

0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:05.879
<v Speaker 3>curious how that correlates to when the pads come on.

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:07.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm sure there'll be more changes that were

0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 3>not accustomed to or didn't see coming, you know.

0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely, So here's what Mike McCarty had to say today.

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 9>Give us a highlight of what do you expect Monday

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 9>to be like when you're in pastor the first time?

0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 10>Oh shoot, when we talked about that Monday, we got

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 10>a lot of work to do today. Yeah, I mean,

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:25.280
<v Speaker 10>I think everybody's looking forward to Monday.

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:27.199
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 10>Today is really you know, trying to really put a

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 10>lid on what we accomplished in the spring. You know,

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 10>we had we had some review as far as the

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:39.440
<v Speaker 10>concepts and things like that at the end of the game.

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:43.239
<v Speaker 10>Emphasis the last two days, you know, actually last three

0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 10>days I've been very pleased with. So I just want

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:48.879
<v Speaker 10>to wrap that up today and put a bow on it.

0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 10>And then you know, then the players will be off

0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 10>tomorrow and and then then we'll get going, you know,

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.639
<v Speaker 10>and we'll jump up really right back into that I

0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:58.760
<v Speaker 10>would I would call a normal flow. You know, third

0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 10>down will be the fact big. It's just you know,

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:03.439
<v Speaker 10>come Monday, and Monday's not a full practice. You know,

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 10>we're still on a limited time frame. But then you

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.000
<v Speaker 10>know we'll be it'll be good to get the pads

0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 10>on and get into some more realistic football.

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:14.399
<v Speaker 11>Mike, you've been running some of those eleven on eleven periods,

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 11>two different groups side by side on the field. What's

0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 11>kind of the process and the method between having those

0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 11>groups running incorrectly during.

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 10>Te Well, I mean really my methodology goes back to

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 10>you know, six through twenty ten. I would say, you know,

0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:34.719
<v Speaker 10>during the pre you know CBA twenty eleven, you know

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.399
<v Speaker 10>you were able to practice you know longer, you know,

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 10>you didn't have limits, So you know, it was a

0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:44.560
<v Speaker 10>it was a great experience for me as a as

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 10>a first time head coach. You know, had some great mentors,

0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:50.960
<v Speaker 10>you know as far as putting together a program, and

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 10>you know Marty Schottenheim or Paul Hackett, you know, Ray Rhoads,

0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:57.600
<v Speaker 10>and you know, and and then I think just going

0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 10>into your first season, you know, you just really pay

0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:02.760
<v Speaker 10>attention to the numbers and it really wrong. It's a

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 10>long edge, but really wrong. I'm going with this is

0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:06.639
<v Speaker 10>you know, I used to do the number three thousand

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:09.879
<v Speaker 10>was something that was always in my mind because you

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:11.639
<v Speaker 10>could get you know, a thousand reps in the in

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 10>the in the off season program. And you know, once again,

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 10>the basis is more from my years as a quarterback coach,

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:21.439
<v Speaker 10>because you know, you you look at your opportunities, how

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:23.439
<v Speaker 10>many reps you can get, how you're gonna dissect that,

0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 10>cut that down and you know, apply that through the

0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:28.920
<v Speaker 10>off season, grow that into the training camp. And then

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.400
<v Speaker 10>if you look at it, you know, it's the offense

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:34.199
<v Speaker 10>and defense usually average around eleven hundred you know plays

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:38.159
<v Speaker 10>a year. So I've always looked at the ratios of

0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 10>you know, how much red zone do you work on

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 10>versus how much you actually used during the season. Don't

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:45.640
<v Speaker 10>have a great year on red zone and maybe we're

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:47.680
<v Speaker 10>gonna you know, do some more of that the next year.

0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:51.200
<v Speaker 10>You know, Rob from Peter to pay Paul. So it's

0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 10>just you know, it's it's a it's a game of numbers,

0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 10>you know, football is numbers. Mathematics is I think very

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 10>important is to pay attention to I always have, you know,

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:02.400
<v Speaker 10>so then you know, twenty eleven was kind of a Waskie.

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:05.399
<v Speaker 10>You didn't have the off season. So then from twelve on,

0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 10>you know, I had a standard, a goal of what

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:09.400
<v Speaker 10>I was trying to get done with the football team,

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 10>and worked out pretty good in twenty ten. So I

0:24:12.320 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 10>tried to really try to use that as a standard

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:20.120
<v Speaker 10>of training and just adjusting with that through the changes

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:23.879
<v Speaker 10>in the CBA. So with that is how do you

0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:25.760
<v Speaker 10>get more reps? You know, how do you utilize the

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 10>sports science and be played the GPS into it. So

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 10>and every lot of people do it. I'm sure it

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:33.159
<v Speaker 10>was very big in college football way back when I was.

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 10>When I was in college football, they called it two spot.

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:38.000
<v Speaker 10>You know, you have to you know, two offenses going

0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 10>through defense and so forth, and you know, trying to

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.880
<v Speaker 10>maximize the you know, the opportunity for the young players.

0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:46.679
<v Speaker 10>So so with those mock games are in two spot.

0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 10>But the most important thing about that is the quality

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:53.240
<v Speaker 10>of those reps. They frankly reviewed it again today in

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 10>the team meeting you know, those reps count. I mean,

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:58.800
<v Speaker 10>they're kind of I have a goal that I'm trying

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:01.159
<v Speaker 10>to hit. You know, we're just not out there correcting

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:03.880
<v Speaker 10>some things, going through the motions, so that those those

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:06.479
<v Speaker 10>reps are very important. And frankly, that's why I'm with

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 10>the younger players. I'm trying to get as much time

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 10>with the young players and getting them ready for the

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:13.920
<v Speaker 10>preseason game because those young guys are going to play

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:16.480
<v Speaker 10>for us. You know, it's it's it happens every year,

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:20.000
<v Speaker 10>and you preferly you hope they don't play till November December.

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 10>But guess what, those are really important games. So that's

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:25.520
<v Speaker 10>the facts of the of the matter of how you

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:27.760
<v Speaker 10>train your team, the things you look about, looking around

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 10>the corners and trying to make sure it goes. But

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:32.679
<v Speaker 10>you know, the two spot gives us a chance to,

0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:34.720
<v Speaker 10>you know, to get the numbers up where they where

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:43.280
<v Speaker 10>I feel they need to be. Long answer, phil Abuster,

0:25:43.359 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 10>there where do you.

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.399
<v Speaker 1>Feel that the offense is right now?

0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:49.440
<v Speaker 4>As far as picking up the office?

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:52.440
<v Speaker 12>Do you feel that they're right where you thought they

0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:54.159
<v Speaker 12>should be or further ahead?

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:54.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 10>Mentally, mentally, I think we're in a good place, solid place.

0:25:58.080 --> 0:26:00.680
<v Speaker 10>You know, we're not you know, we're not ready to

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:03.119
<v Speaker 10>take the exam yet, but you know we're definitely in

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 10>a good place, so, you know, and then to be honest,

0:26:07.600 --> 0:26:09.720
<v Speaker 10>you know, it's it's about knowing what to do, you

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:11.480
<v Speaker 10>know when to do it. But you know, the real

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 10>real challenge starts, you know, starts Monday, you know when

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 10>the dvs and then you know, the second the perimeterive

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:20.080
<v Speaker 10>players can really put their hands on each other. You know,

0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:22.240
<v Speaker 10>the line of scrimmage has to be established, whether it's

0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:25.400
<v Speaker 10>the run blocking unit, the pass rush, past protection unit,

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 10>pass rush and so forth. So that's you know, those

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:31.680
<v Speaker 10>weren't the time clocks really get you know, established, and

0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 10>and and we're close closer to the fire of real football.

0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 12>Mike, we've asked you a lot about the uh We've

0:26:37.760 --> 0:26:39.160
<v Speaker 12>asked you about the QB School.

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:40.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm just curious about.

0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 5>The origin of it.

0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 12>How did you develop your methodology of training quarterbacks and

0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:45.600
<v Speaker 12>some of the drills and.

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 5>These along those lines.

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:49.119
<v Speaker 10>I mean, really the credit goes to Paul Hackett. You know,

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 10>I learned it from Paul, you know, eighty nine through

0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 10>ninety two at the University of Pittsburgh. You know, we

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 10>obviously did it in a in a collegiate you know,

0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 10>college setting. But you know when we when we went

0:26:58.880 --> 0:27:01.000
<v Speaker 10>to Kansas City, I was able to out you know,

0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 10>Paul's the offensive coordinator and I was you know, hired

0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:06.280
<v Speaker 10>as a quality control coach, and you know, we started

0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:08.639
<v Speaker 10>that that year in ninety three and then it was

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 10>you know, it's just it was a really a great

0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:13.680
<v Speaker 10>group of guys, you know, so you know, with Joe

0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:16.879
<v Speaker 10>Montana and Dave Craig, you know, Matt Blendon. So it's uh,

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:19.199
<v Speaker 10>it's it's something I've I've always believed in.

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:19.520
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:27:19.560 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 10>The CBA kind of you know, wiped out some of

0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:24.720
<v Speaker 10>the opportunity for the you know, because the old age,

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:26.200
<v Speaker 10>you know, you would start that in the middle of

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:29.000
<v Speaker 10>March and you were able to get four weeks of

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:33.679
<v Speaker 10>quarterback school before before the off season program started. You know,

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:36.360
<v Speaker 10>I think it was legal back then, but if it isn't,

0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:38.680
<v Speaker 10>I think the Statute of Attentions and I think I'm safe,

0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:41.199
<v Speaker 10>but no, it was a So that's kind of how

0:27:41.200 --> 0:27:43.199
<v Speaker 10>I grew up, you know, That's that's that's what I

0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:45.960
<v Speaker 10>believe in. And uh, you know, and Aaron, and I

0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 10>think Aaron was sheer because I've seen him talk to

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:50.880
<v Speaker 10>the younger players all the time because he's he's last

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 10>guy that I coached that went through it, you know,

0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 10>because twenty eleven is when that offseason, you know, opportunity

0:27:59.240 --> 0:28:01.440
<v Speaker 10>kind of went away. So it was just a really

0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:04.960
<v Speaker 10>a great time to really have the you know, the

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 10>day to break down you know, everything for the quarterback

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:10.359
<v Speaker 10>because you know, let's be honest, you go to practice

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:12.960
<v Speaker 10>every day that we're trying to squeeze in time in

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:16.040
<v Speaker 10>the beginning in between periods, and you know, every position,

0:28:16.160 --> 0:28:18.359
<v Speaker 10>the old line, they get plenty of individual time to

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:20.960
<v Speaker 10>do their thing and go through all their drills and

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 10>so forth. And but once you know, in all the

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:25.760
<v Speaker 10>other positions do too, but the quarterback always has to

0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 10>work with the running backs. They always have to work

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:29.640
<v Speaker 10>with so you know, where's their time to really work

0:28:29.640 --> 0:28:34.080
<v Speaker 10>on their specific you know, details of fundamentals. So we

0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:35.919
<v Speaker 10>you know, we kind of squeeze it in there in

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 10>the beginning of practice and then you know, kind of

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:42.000
<v Speaker 10>squeeze it in as we can as special teams.

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:44.920
<v Speaker 5>To bring him here and what tracked you to, Tanya

0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 5>to bring him? How is he? How is he helps

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 5>some of the young quarterbacks. He seems to be a

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 5>security blank for them already.

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 10>Now, Roberts a hell of a player, you know, just

0:28:52.160 --> 0:28:55.360
<v Speaker 10>haven't been around him as a rookie, so and just

0:28:55.680 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 10>we've always watched his career, you know, after my time

0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 10>with him in Green Bay. But but you know, he's

0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 10>you know, he he had it right away. You know,

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:06.760
<v Speaker 10>he's very instinctive player. You know, he's very very natural

0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 10>in the past game you can see the particularly how

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:11.800
<v Speaker 10>he attacks them, you know, the middle reads, the post routes,

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 10>you know, the the alley routes, and and uh, you

0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 10>know so much of that is uh is about you know,

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:20.480
<v Speaker 10>the timing, the body, the body language, you know, t

0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:23.440
<v Speaker 10>in tune with the clock of the quarterback. So you know,

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 10>I I I think we're extremely fortunate to have Robert here. Bobby,

0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:30.280
<v Speaker 10>I think the guys like to call him. But uh,

0:29:30.680 --> 0:29:32.880
<v Speaker 10>he's uh, you know, he he's a really good fit

0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:34.760
<v Speaker 10>for how we want to play with you.

0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 9>Being the offensive play color, how how do you decide

0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:40.120
<v Speaker 9>how much time practice needs to be you with your

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:42.720
<v Speaker 9>and the play sheet, your voice and Aaron's ear versus

0:29:43.240 --> 0:29:44.960
<v Speaker 9>were with the younger quarterbacks in the.

0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:47.160
<v Speaker 10>Defense or things a little bit of a moving target.

0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 10>I think you can understand that. I mean, I'm I'm

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:51.040
<v Speaker 10>I'm trying to you know, you got a number of

0:29:51.040 --> 0:29:53.720
<v Speaker 10>things like all head coaches do. And I'm sure he

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:55.640
<v Speaker 10>was here, say in the pastor trying to watch young

0:29:55.720 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 10>guys and in individual drills and and so forth, butt this,

0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:04.440
<v Speaker 10>you know, same breath. You know, I have an accent,

0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 10>so I got to make sure they hear my voice,

0:30:06.600 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 10>you know, through the headset. I'm enjoying my accent.

0:30:09.640 --> 0:30:09.920
<v Speaker 6>Knocks.

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:11.280
<v Speaker 10>Don't have to worry about it, you know, I can

0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:13.600
<v Speaker 10>just let it. I can just let it go, you know. So,

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:16.840
<v Speaker 10>but just make sure you get the mechanics because I'm

0:30:16.840 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 10>always worried about the next game. So communication, boundary, communication,

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:25.160
<v Speaker 10>those things are important. But I also have you know,

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:28.280
<v Speaker 10>the job of a head coach too, you know, especially earlier.

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 10>You want to practice, you know, you make sort of

0:30:29.840 --> 0:30:32.880
<v Speaker 10>flow with the drills, and so just keeping an eye

0:30:32.920 --> 0:30:35.800
<v Speaker 10>on all that, so you know, may vary a little

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:37.200
<v Speaker 10>bit practice to practice.

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 12>Mike, how would you describe the attitude of the young

0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:44.760
<v Speaker 12>quarterbacks you historically at the quarterback school. I mean, you know,

0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 12>they come in, they got to this level, the opportunity

0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 12>because they're good at what they do. And then you

0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:50.960
<v Speaker 12>spend a I mean obviously judged by work communicating, you

0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:53.320
<v Speaker 12>just spend it very a lot of time meticulously sort.

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Of breaking them down.

0:30:54.280 --> 0:30:56.640
<v Speaker 12>And how is are they sort of like what are

0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:58.480
<v Speaker 12>you doing here? Or is it more of a hey

0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:00.960
<v Speaker 12>they were opening the coaching and obviously, well.

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:03.160
<v Speaker 10>I think you know the reality of it is, you know,

0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:07.200
<v Speaker 10>we all started somewhere at some time, and you know,

0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:09.720
<v Speaker 10>you have a foundation in what you're believe in. I've

0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:13.240
<v Speaker 10>watched the development of quarterbacks change. You know, the external

0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:18.160
<v Speaker 10>training and and opportunities the quarterbacks have is is definitely

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:20.720
<v Speaker 10>a lot different today and it was thirty thirty years ago.

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 10>I mean, you know, just the things they're doing with

0:31:23.320 --> 0:31:26.640
<v Speaker 10>these kids in high school is pretty remarkable. Frankly, the

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 10>training opportunities that they have. Uh So, being in tune

0:31:29.640 --> 0:31:33.200
<v Speaker 10>with that, and there's some there's some outstanding quarterback you

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:35.280
<v Speaker 10>know programs out there that they're training them, you know,

0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:39.040
<v Speaker 10>away from the schools, and it's become a pretty profitable business,

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 10>you know, so with that, and I think just being

0:31:41.520 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 10>in tune with you know, how people were teaching, you know,

0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:48.479
<v Speaker 10>the throwing profile, the footwear, profile, and and and just

0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:52.320
<v Speaker 10>being able to communicate, you know, with with the quarterbacks

0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 10>when they get here, because you know, everybody's it's just

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:57.320
<v Speaker 10>like anything in football. You know, everybody doesn't teach the

0:31:57.360 --> 0:32:00.600
<v Speaker 10>exact same footwork as a pass rush in their stance.

0:32:00.640 --> 0:32:02.920
<v Speaker 10>You know, he doesn't teach the same footwork as a

0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 10>defensive back. You know, it's it's you know, some people have,

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:09.040
<v Speaker 10>you know, a certain training they believe in. It's no

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:12.320
<v Speaker 10>different for myself and how we're doing it here, and

0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:15.280
<v Speaker 10>it's and it's, uh, you know, we're very fortunate just

0:32:15.280 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 10>from a pure quarterback training standpoint and obviously other things

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:23.479
<v Speaker 10>to have aeron here because you know, going back to reps,

0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 10>you know, this is what nineteen eighteen, nineteen years as

0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 10>a starter, I mean you're talking about God has twenty

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:32.080
<v Speaker 10>thousand live reps, you know, on top of the off

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:35.200
<v Speaker 10>season programs and so forth. So his his ability to

0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:39.000
<v Speaker 10>communicate to the young guys, and they're they've been I've

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 10>been impressed. I mean he made a comment to Drew

0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:44.320
<v Speaker 10>yesterday in the morning meeting, and Drew went right out

0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 10>there and tried the footwork and the technique with his eyes.

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 10>So it's a you know, you know, I'm the old

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:52.600
<v Speaker 10>he says, Hey, don't do too much, you know, but

0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:55.400
<v Speaker 10>it's it's good to see him pushing and giving these

0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:57.640
<v Speaker 10>guys in education of my lifetime.

0:32:57.920 --> 0:33:00.760
