Speaker 1: keep us post. I will do so. Um. But yeah,

34
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: we're here for I believe this is day sixteen. I

35
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: think something like training camp day sixteen. Well, we've we've

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: seen some stuff happen eighteen total. Right, Yeah, today, as

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: it reported this morning, bad news for Anthony Miller, Karl

38
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: Joseph Um both done for the year. Uh it's a shame, yeah, shame.

39
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: I mean I thought Joseph probably was on the outside

40
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: looking in, but nobody was here working harder. That's what

41
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: I say. He's like, he's just gotta work route for

42
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: in the whole place because he's out here all the time.

43
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember that day when it was just

44
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: pouring and he's sitting down there on like the twenty

45
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: yard line on the numbers, doing drills by himself, like

46
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: you're you're on fire. So it's not a work ethic

47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: issue with No No, but Miller I was kind of

48
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: fell in love with when I was here, you know,

49
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: like the more and more every time I saw him,

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: I thought he was having a tremendous camp. Um it

51
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: seemed like kind of an odd injury. I mean, I

52
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: didn't kind of stuck up on him because in an

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: odd time, UM, I was counting on him to be

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 1: in the top four. I would say maybe Austin would

55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: be ahead of him, but would be in the mix

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: as a slot option. Did some gun or work too,

57
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: So as is a case and all across the league,

58
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: when somebody goes down, that opens the door for somebody else.

59
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: And I know you fiddled around with some roster stuff

60
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: I did, And I'm curious what your your wide receiver situation.

61
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: Is and that was before this, well that was before

62
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: we had prior to the injury, I I had Anthony

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: Miller making and now I did see. I also saw

64
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: Calvin Austin today now earlier today, when he came up

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: through he had a walking boot on his foot. Looking

66
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: at him here today on the field, he doesn't have

67
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: the walking boot on anymore, right, so he's not practicing.

68
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: But that's what it looks like. It's more of a

69
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: protective thing. Maybe he has a little bit of a

70
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: foot sprain or were an ankle sprain there that they

71
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: were trying to protect. But he was out there, you know,

72
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: catching some balls, not running or anything like. He's walking

73
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: around on the field without the boot on. So that's

74
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: a good looks anxious too. Just his body language, you

75
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: can tell like he wants to get in and this

76
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: is your first training camp. You want to get out

77
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: there and show something. I really thought, you know, he

78
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: was one of my my three guarantees um before the

79
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: game that I thought he was going to go out

80
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: and have it. You know. My guarantee was he would

81
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: have a twenty five yard catch and uh, well I

82
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: gotta play to do that. We can look over there,

83
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: you see uh Marcus Allen starting to get some ramped

84
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: up there a little bit too. So yeah, I mean,

85
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: all in all, besides those two that we just mentioned,

86
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: injury news have been pretty favorable. You know, we've got

87
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: a lot of the bigger hitters back on the field

88
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: here this week, which is good. Um. Back to the

89
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver situation, I mean, we know Deonte clay Pool Pickens,

90
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: and I think we know Austin is in, and I

91
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: think we know Gunners in. So that's five. Um. I

92
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: would imagine it becomes a Sims verse Boykin type of situation,

93
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: assuming they keep six, which is as good as the

94
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: receivers are. I would think he keeps six because gunners

95
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: half receiver, half special team, do you know. Um yeah,

96
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: and they typically do keep six. They have kept five

97
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: before in the past. But I think, you know, you

98
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: almost have to keep sick if you're keeping your best,

99
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: your best players and guys who can time or something,

100
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, I mean that that that makes

101
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: total sense. Sims and Boykin couldn't be any more different, though,

102
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: right right, you know, I mean different skill sets. Both

103
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: help on special teams, but in different ways. I was

104
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: happy to see boy can make plays on special teams.

105
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: I think get two tackles on teams on Saturday. Mr

106
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Biskuy was just gonna kick a field goal there? Do

107
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: you see that? I didn't. They're snapping, See he might

108
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: still Pressley Harvin is or I guess like he's taking snaps. Um,

109
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: But Pressley Harvin was taking a snap and Rubisky was

110
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: lining it up to like he was gonna make a kick.

111
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: Here he's actually holding now as I guess the emergency holder.

112
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: Imagine something he was done enough, something that you work on,

113
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: you know, just to get some some work in with coins. Um.

114
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: But who would you take out of Boyken verse sims

115
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: if you get a pick one him? What are you

116
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: looking for? I mean, you know who your return guy is?

117
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: Which one? I think maybe the question should be which

118
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: one is less likely likely to get picked up if

119
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: you release him? I would say they're Yeah. I mean

120
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: I think it depends what other teams look forward to.

121
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: You know, I think boy Can is gonna help you more.

122
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: It gives you more, uh, you know, flexibility with teams

123
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: with Yeah, with this particular team when you already have

124
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,119
Speaker 1: a return guy. Um, but I think they have fewer

125
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: options at slot yeah. Um, I mean, everybody's an outside guy.

126
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: Clay Pool's, you know, projected to be the starting slot.

127
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: Austin could do it, but I haven't seen him a

128
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: lot and operate out of a slot, so Sims might

129
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: be better in the offensive situation. I lean towards taking

130
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: the bigger guy, though I do too. I just think

131
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: he gives you more. Uh, there's more he can do

132
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, I think he's Yeah, you know, there's

133
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: a there's are tougher guys to find as if we

134
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: watch him catching catching punts here too. I'm kind of

135
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: bummed about the Miller news. Yeah, that's a that's a

136
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: that's a bummer. Um, you know it just he was

137
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: really looked like he was going to have a role

138
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: with this team, and uh it was really kind of

139
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: fitting in and and uh you know, I mean they

140
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: get to keep him on I guess scholarship for another year,

141
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: but a year older year, and you know, who knows

142
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: that things can change quick and again he's a year

143
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: older and somebody's gonna step up between now and then,

144
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: and he's have to having a really good camp again

145
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: next year back in the same situation. But you know,

146
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: all that wide receiver depths they had, and Boykin didn't

147
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: practice yesterday pace he's dealing with a rib injury. So

148
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: they just get you know, Claypool and Deante Johnson back,

149
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: and now they lose a couple of guys at that position. Yeah, unfortunately, Um,

150
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: that's football, But I mean that's how things work here.

151
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: And you know, you don't want to overwork Deante and

152
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: those guys. But if I'm Claypool, I had better get

153
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: out there, you know. I mean, like, I'm not sure

154
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be in the mix and two receiver sets.

155
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's a chance Pickens is the

156
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: quote starter when they're in two two receivers. Yeah, but

157
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: they were in they I mean, they play eleven so

158
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: much they do. I mean, I don't know if it's

159
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: gonna be quite as much as they did last year,

160
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: but it's still gonna be sixty plus percent of the time. Yeah. Yeah.

161
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean I think the league in general is and

162
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: they were at the top of the league. I bet

163
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: they're not in the top three again, but I bet they're.

164
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: But if you're putting, you want to put your best

165
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: players on the field. I mean, I think that's the

166
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: way that you know, when they put it this way,

167
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: when they opened up seven shots yesterday, it was it

168
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: was Claypool, Johnson, Pickens, fire Muth and Harris. Where you're

169
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: eligible as yeah, that's your best five guys. I'm not

170
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: sure who number six is, you know, like I know

171
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: who the top five are, I'm not sure the sixth

172
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: best player is. I do think and if Camp in

173
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: preseasons any indication watching, that's kind of odd. You know,

174
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: guys of his shape and size, you know, catching punt,

175
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: he's the one for two here. Oh, he just caught

176
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: that with one hand, just like he just grabbed it

177
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: with no glove either. That was just snatched it like

178
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: it was a like he was catching picking up a grade.

179
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: There's three big old tight end showing up hand and

180
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: he's getting number four here, can you get four? Uh?

181
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: He just snatched the second one right out of that

182
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: with one hand and grabbed it. I thought it hit

183
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: the ground. He snagged with one hand. You never say

184
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: a field up like that. No, No, that's yeah, that's

185
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: definitely was school was Gentry gonna give it a shot

186
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: here now. I was actually about to bring up Gentry

187
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: when we were talking about the eleven personnel stuff because

188
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: I do think Gentry Hayward McFarlane. Yeah, I mean they're

189
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: not as good as the top five, but they're gonna

190
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: get it on the field. Yeah, I think. So it's

191
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: gonna give this a shot. I can't, but yeah, you're

192
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: listening to the Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. I

193
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: am Dale Lally. He is Matt Williamson. Of course, also

194

Speaker 1: being simulcast on ESPN nine seventies. So if you're listening

Speaker 1: only station bringing you live updates as we watch practice here.

197
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: Nobody else is allowed to do this. It's just so

198
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: we're kind of a played by play again today, absolutely

199
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: sing rolling too. You as give you the information as

200
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: things happen. Uh, they should be stretching shortly though, Yeah,

201
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: they're just right now. Um so remarkably, it's kind of

202
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: a slow time around the league. Yeah, and I was

203
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: looking for, you know, news, and there's not a lot

204
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: of injuries. I think a lot of the league right

205
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: now has played a game and every kind of ever

206
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: played the game right, and you take sort of a

207
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: step back and say, okay, what we did all you know,

208
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: all practice time translate to the field in that game,

209
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: and in the Steelers case, I think it did. But

210
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: I would think there's some front office and coaching staffs going, Man,

211
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, we're a corner short or you know, you know,

212
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: you're starting to get into this, and you have a

213
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: real good feel for your team and you've seen them

214
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: play against somebody else. You might be just taking a

215
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: step back and kind of calmly here a little bit

216
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: and figure it out. Reassessing. Yeah, reassessing, I mean a

217
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: lot of steps forward, and then all right, let's see

218
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: where we're at. Is our analysis of our team still

219
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: what we thought it was after playing an opponent. You know,

220
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: it is different than practice, and you're still seeing some

221
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: teams going out and scrimmaging against each other. Saw the

222
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: Panthers and Patriots for scrimmaging against each other and they

223
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: couldn't stop fighting. There's a lot of a lot of

224
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: fights in that in that camp. Who breaks those up?

225
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's one of the reason. I

226
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: think that's really one of the reasons why Mike tom

227
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: And typically doesn't do the practices against an opponent, especially

228
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, he'll he'll do it against if it's as

229
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: a coach that he knows well, and they can kind

230
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: of talk about how how things are gonna go. But

231
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he doesn't have any any interest in

232
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: coming out here and banging against another team if it's

233
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: going to turn into you know, turn into that every

234
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: other play. Yeah, I mean, I guess you could look

235
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: at it that way of Uh, you know, we get

236
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: more work done here without a distraction or the emotion

237
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: or I gotta show these guys I'm the better man.

238
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm the tougher dude. You know, I can't push around

239
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: on our home field or you know, some of the

240
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: the ego stuff that gets in the way. And the

241
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: other thing I think is interesting that you really have

242
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: to have a good relationship with the other coach, Like

243
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: you said, is well, what are we going to practice, Like, Hey,

244
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: we really want to work on third and long stuff,

245
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: we want to work on goal line. Well we'll do neither. Yeah,

246
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna play that team later in the week,

247
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: you know. So it's yeah, so I can see not

248
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: loving that situation. And they've gotten a lot of work

249
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: done here, so you know, we finish it up with

250
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: a couple more days. Go back to your humble abodes,

251
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: and uh, get into the meat of the season. Yeah. Um,

252
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: it's it's right around the corner. We're less than a

253
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: month out now. Uh. The season starts September eleven for

254
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers in Cincinnati and it's now August sixteenth, so right,

255
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: are happening quick? We're getting down to three weeks out.

256
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to the Jacksonville game too. I mean,

257
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: I think that's another really good opponent. Like there's a

258
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: lot of teams in the league that are disinterested with

259
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, uh, preseason football. Well, Seattle and Jacksonville aren't.

260
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: We're not. You know, they did a lot to work

261
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: on the new quarterbacks. You know. Yeah. I had some

262
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: people say, well, you know they played that they played Seattle.

263
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: Seattle is not very good. But that doesn't mean Seattle

264
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: wasn't trying and you're your back. I look at the opposite. Yeah,

265
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: I think they are a really hard preseason opponent. You know,

266
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: I'd love to play him in the regular season because

267
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't think there would be good this year. But

268
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: when you're trotting out to NFL quarterbacks and you're playing

269
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: a high percentage of your starters and you know you

270
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: have a lot to work on well, I think that's

271
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: a tougher challenge than the Rams or Chiefs or some

272
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: team that has it's gonna sit all their stars. Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah,

273
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: I'd rather play that team because they're trying to establish something. Yeah,

274
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, and the Jacksonville is the same way. You

275
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: got a new coach down there, um, and a young

276
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: team and they're trying to establish in a big way. Yeah,

277
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: they have a lot to work on. They have a

278
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: lot of new faces, are extremely young, you know, like

279
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: their front seven, and they got all new linebackers, you

280
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: got the first overall pick, you got a big group

281
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: of defensive tackles. I wrote an article today about the

282
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: Steelers O line. I think they're really gonna be challenged

283
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: by that that jagfront, you know, I mean Josh Allen

284
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, they've got a lot of dudes

285
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: that are gonna play. That's the key, is that gonna play. Yeah.

286
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this game as well, because you're

287
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: gonna see the starters in there to to some degree. Um,

288
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: I would think that, you know, some of the stars

289
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: play at least a quarter, so you'll see Heyward, you'll

290
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: see wat out there a little bit. This Mike Tomlin

291
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: not really into necessarily resting guys when it comes to that.

292
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: Are you getting the impression that this game for the

293
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: Steelers at least will be their version of the dress rehearsal? Yeah.

294
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean the guys, the guys that I've talked to,

295
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: nobody's coming, you know that they haven't told the coaches,

296
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: haven't told the players yet. But I think ye, I

297
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: think that's how they're leaning with it, you know. And

298
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: I've talked to some different guys about are you looking

299
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: forward to getting out there? And yeah, we're you know,

300
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: we want to get out there and play. So. Um,

301
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: the guys want to play. I mean you you practice

302
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: all this time, you want to go play football, I

303
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: would think so. I mean even the cam Heywards of

304
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: the world would probably like to go out there and

305
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: bang a little. I want to hit somebody else and

306
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: you make a player too and get out. Um. I

307
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: get the impression talking to some people last forty eight

308
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: hours or whatever, that the game three will probably be

309
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: the Pickett Show, you know. Yeah, and it won't be.

310
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: And you'll put a good line around them and you'll

311
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: give them, you know, weapons to I think the line

312
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: plays no matter what. I would play a lot. They

313
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: didn't know the work they can get. There's the second

314
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: The second line wasn't bad. No, It's funny. When I

315
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: wrote the article, there were a couple of guys that

316
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: played better than I thought. And the glue I thought

317
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: played really well. I thought Hawson Howard played well. I

318
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: mentioned Joe Hay yesterday. I thought he was really good. Um.

319
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: The other two Scott and what's the other Green I

320
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: thought really had a tough time. Not Kendrick Green, the yeah,

321
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: the other Green Green. I thought those two were problematic,

322
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: to be kind, you know, they were really a problem area.

323
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: And they can make the team and on. They've got

324
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: some some good backups there that, you know, if if

325
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: they have to step in and play or our NFL players. Yeah,

326
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: that was a glue for himself down you know, coming

327
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, and Haustin Hower is a self made guy.

328
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: I guess it's basically Hegg's story too. But I mean

329
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: he at least has been a free agent. And another

330
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: thing was the fourth round pick. Yeah he was nowhere right,

331
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: but I mean he's a swing tackle now. So those

332
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: three guys I have faith in as depth guys. Um,

333
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: I was not super impressed with the way James Daniels played.

334
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: I didn't realize this until I dug into though um

335
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: more in Green, the left side of the line played

336
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: about thirty five snaps each. All the others only played sixteen.

337
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: So if you want to kill the front line, I mean,

338
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: it was sixteen snaps, right, It was too serious, you know.

339
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean some of it wasn't great, some was fine.

340
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: I thought some of the run blocking was good more

341
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: in particular, Rim was a good run blocker. But it

342
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: was sixteen snaps. So let's let's not overreact to that too.

343
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: You know, maybe this game he'll see more, Yeah, I would.

344
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: I would certainly think you'll see those guys out there

345
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: more in this game as they as they get into

346
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more and you want your starting quarterback

347
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: out there right with with the line. He's gonna be

348
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: working with ye. But you're right though, I mean, like

349
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: for Game three, if Pickett plays all or a majority

350
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: of it, he can live with Hoss and the Glue

351
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: Haig and those you know, right as an NFL player, Yeah,

352
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: that's not terrible. I mean, they'll they'll be able to

353
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 1: get a good look at them and really analyze them

354
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: and who have some time to throw and some holes

355
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: that run through and those type of things. Yeah, because

356
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: you have to also have to remember that they'll be

357
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: playing the Detroit Lions. I don't know how much the

358
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: Lions are gonna play their front line guys in that game.

359
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, just the first viewing of

360
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks, it seems like they're gonna play everybody all

361
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: the time. I mean, they're tackling the practice and right

362
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: right right, and so I don't know how they'll handle

363
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: the third game, but they certainly are not bashful about

364
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: playing their dudes so far. Yeah. I mean, if you

365
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: ain't got nothing, you've got nothing to lose. Yeah, right right, So,

366
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: in a way, all three of those teams I didn't

367
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: think about the Lions will all be really good preseason games, right,

368
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, I'd rather they were on schedule the regular season.

369
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: But absolutely, I don't think any of any of the

370
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: three will be very good. No, no, but they have

371
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: a ton to play for. I mean, there are three

372
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: of the bottom feeding teams in the league with the

373
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: most of work on. Absolutely, he is Matt Williamson, I

380
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: then they'll break up after this, go do some positional

00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: am Dale Welly here with Matt Williams. We are live

389
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: from Steelers training camp here in beautiful Latrote, Pennsylvania. Is

390
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: a great day, Yeah, break loose, break, blue skies. You

391
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: can see you know clearly the mountains and all a

392
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: little bit of a gust of wind, not hot, yeah,

393
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it. Yeah, it's just not too bad. I

394
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: don't think there's any had thunderstorms on the horizon for once.

395
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: That's odd, So that's great. Yeah, just looking around out

396
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: there to see who is not practice. He still looks

397
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: like Derek Watt is out. I mentioned Calvin Austin, um

398
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: mentioned Marcus still still working his way back. Um, that

399
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 1: about it, and that might be about it here from

400
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: guys that I can are that are obviously not practice

401
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: any day, so not too bad. The Steelers have to

402
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: cut down the roster to eighty five today at four o'clock,

403
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: so that'll that'll happen here. I don't think that's happened yet.

404
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: You know, they made the roster moves with the with

405
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: some of the guys there. Um, I wonder you'd have

406
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: to really look. But I mean, I wonder if you

407
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: inform the guys before this practice just too if you

408
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: know the answer already and you know one less guy

409
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: you have to coach, or injury liabilities and things like, Yeah,

410
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: you don't want the guy going out there that you're

411
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: gonna cut. You don't want to get hurt. Because I

412
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: wonder if there's that we wouldn't quite notice. Yeah, you

413
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't notice the guys who weren't gonna exactly exactly right.

414
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: So that's interesting. And I guess we'll get word of

415
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: that probably in the next couple of hours. So, yeah,

416
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: they got to do that by four o'clock. All teams

417
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: have to get down to that that roster limit. Um,

418
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: so there's another one next week, next week, Yeah, another

419
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: five by next Tuesday, and then the following Tuesday is

420
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: final cutdowns. Yeah, yeah, that I know. So we're really

421
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: getting close here. Yeah, that's that doubt And unfortunately we're

422
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: almost wrapping up our time at Latrobe too. It's been

423
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: a blast players breaking off in their groups now to

424
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: go do their position work. So, um, seeing the dbs

425
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: off to the field over to our on the far

426
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: field to our right, the lineman defensive lineman go to

427
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: the far field on our left. The linebackers kind of

428
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: go into the their own little thing there as well.

429
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: It's like they're going over with the defensive linement today

430
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna do some drills over there. You get the

431
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: wide receivers and quarterbacks here working in the middle of field,

432
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: and the running backs they go off on their own

433
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: as well. It's everybody has their own spot. Yeah if

434
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: everyone realized that, but like you have your own area

435
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: of the field for indie drills and I must if

436
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned it all right, as I didn't hear you right,

437
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: But the the old line is always in the end zone,

438
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: and that's where the sleds are at, you know, I

439
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: mean like they all have their little neck neck of

440
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: the woods. Tight ends are in the corner here. They're

441
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: always their pre games. Often they'll come down here and

442
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: work on these uh these get low, yeah, all those

443
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: things get sledgs. You get. You gotta stay down, get

444
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: underneath the bar and then hit the sled. Just get

445
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: teaching to stay low. This PBC pipe that if you

446
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: hit your helmet off, it's not a big deal, but

447
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: you don't want to. You want to stay under it

448
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: all the time. I'd like to, you know, I'd like

449
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: to start making my own football equip you know, you

450
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: get into that focus some ideas the football on a

451
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: stick and things, and the fick is genius. Someone just

452
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: didn't want to bend over. Yeah, why would I bother?

453
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: And then you had the ones with like the punching

454
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: the boxing glove on a stick to work on trying

455
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: to punch it. Things of that nature. Is all kinds

456
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: of little toys that they have out here. There are

457
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: and some are homemade toys, toys. Yeah, and there's like

458
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: the gauntlet thing that has like the pretends to be

459
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: all the arms you're supposed to run through, and you

460
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: know some of the heavy stuff. You know that. And

461
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: of course there's a bunch of different sleds. There's seven

462
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: man sleds, one man sleds, do man sleds. You know

463
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: all this stuff too. So a little kid down there

464
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: hanging on the tackling dummy too, so you have it.

465
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: Those suckers are heavier and the things they are, they

466
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: are they have those ones that used to have them,

467
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: the ones that were motorized that you can control. Yeah,

468
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: that was never really wasn't didn Cardigan Mellon come up

469
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: with that or something? Yeah? And and and Danny Rooney, uh,

470
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: the art Son I think was involved with that as well. Yeah, okay,

471
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: it's a good idea in theory, and that you don't

472
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: want to tackle a ball carry you want to tackle

473
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: that guy. You know, I don't know where they went there.

474
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: They must have been some malfunction with them or whatever,

475
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: because you know, I didn't like to use them. I

476
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: don't know, right, but there what kind of there was

477
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: a summer or two of them running around here with

478
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: on wheels. Yeah, they got all kinds of stuff like

479
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: that that that you look at that you use. Again,

480
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: these guys are are you know, trying to get as

481
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: prepared as they can. Um, I mean the new innovations

482
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: of these beany things they put on their helmets or

483
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: you know. I mean there's always thinking how to make

484
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: practice better, safer, more efficient, you know, all these different

485
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: ideas and I'm sure many of them haven't worked over

486
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: the years, but such as life, you know, the capsule

487
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: stay on until Yeah, what's the rule on that after

488
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: the second preseason game? Uh, their mandatory through the second

489
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: preseason game. It'll be interesting to see if Mike Tomlin

490
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: sticks with those, because he's got more guys wearing them

491
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: I think than that than had to wear them. And

492
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: they wore them in the in O t A s

493
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: in mini camp even though they didn't they them a

494
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: minicamp even though they didn't necessarily have to. Yeah, and

495
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: from what I understand the rule is, I think it's

496
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: running backs, linebackers and certainly linemen have to wear them.

497
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: And the ones that are bankhead and heads, you know, right,

498
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: I mean consistently even if they're a short area you

499
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: know collisions, Um, the receivers don't, the d backs don't,

500
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: and everyone but the quarterbacks here has them on. So

501
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's obviously a team mandated situation. It's

502
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: not a player by player. You know this, you know

503
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: this decision. Even here, Matt, we're watching the wide receivers

504
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: work here in front of us, and they're catching rugby balls.

505
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: What would be the benefit of catching a rugby ball

506
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: as opposed to regular football. Part of me thinks that's

507
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: just overthinking, like it is a bigger ball. Though it's

508
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: a bigger ball. And I understand throwing these rugby balls

509
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: because they're heavier. I remember Ben used to do it

510
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: a lot. And you're strengthening the hands because you have

511
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: I guess you know. I mean, it's Jerry Rice used

512
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: to catch bricks, you know what I mean. I mean,

513
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: it's just a different way of training your hands, and

514
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: your hands do have to be stronger. I can understand

515
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: throwing them in practice because it's kind of like swinging

516
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: a heavy bat, and I guess catching it's the same degree.

517
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you get as much out

518
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: of that as as it looks. And they didn't do

519
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: it very long or whatever. They're catching uh fade routes

520
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: down the sidelines, and sometimes we can get an idea

521
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: of what they're gonna work on the day by watching

522
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: some of the individual girls you mentioned there, the wide

523
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: receivers catching fade rust and when they'll get together with

524
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: the with the quarterbacks here quarterbacks right now practicing their

525
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: handoffs to the running backs, even the basic stuff. People

526
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: think they go handoffs easy, and yeah it is, but

527
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 1: if you never practice it, it's ugly. Like when I

528
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: was new at pit, I was shocked. You know, whenever

529
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: they scripted practice, there was like a four minute period

530
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: every day. Quarterback centers change every day. They were out

531
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: there doing that on their own for exactly the minute

532
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: until that many minutes until the horn blew, and you know,

533
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: you just don't want to screw any of them up.

534
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: But I mean every team different, but I was, like,

535
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: they really practice that every day, four or five minutes

536
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: a day, you know. I like to when they when

537
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: they do the handoff stuff, so that the quarterbacks will

538
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: hand the football off, then they'll they'll roll out, a

539
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: coach will toss him a football, the roll out opposite

540
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: of where the ball where they're running back went and

541
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: they'll make a throw on the run, just getting more

542
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: out of one repre more than just take Okay, we're

543
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: just gonna hand the football off. You know, you're still

544
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: gotta make a throw, and they've got a guy you

545
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: know positioned, you know for a ten yard out. Um

546
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: you just so you get used to throwing that on

547
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 1: the run. Now you're not on the full speed run,

548
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: but you get your memory thing. It's working on your

549
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: your footwork and getting your shoulder square and things of

550
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: that nature. Yeah, And I think the reason you do

551
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 1: it is, well, let's maximize the rep. You could just

552
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: hand it off and do nothing, but you know, you're

553
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: out here, you might as well get one more thing done.

554
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: But more so I think it's it teaches the quarterbacks

555
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: to to sell that they have the football still. I

556
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: mean if even if they hand it off, and if

557
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: you don't hand hand it off, it's still the same

558
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: mechanics of a play shouldn't roll out, you know. So

559
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: if you do have the ball and faked it to

560
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: the back, well, now you're doing the second half of

561
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: the drill. So there's something said for that, you know,

562
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: And then you're throwing on the run, which they asked

563
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: his quarterbacks to do a lot I'll tell you what. Um,

564
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,719
Speaker 1: I know, Crystal Loticon hasn't gotten any reps. He's out

565
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: there working. He throws a nice football. He does, he does.

566
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: I mean, and no one talks about that guy. But

567
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: there's some skills there. Oh, there's definitely some some things

568
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: that you can work with their with him. Um, you know,

569
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm watching him throw the football. I mean the ball

570
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: jumps out of his hand. Yeah. Yeah, and he moves

571
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: pretty well. He's a kind of a fluid guy. Um.

572
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: Do you think he plays at all in the preseason?

573
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: Maybe that last game. He hasn't taken a snap in practice,

574
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: like if it would be fair to play him in

575
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 1: the game at this point. No, you're right, I mean

576
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: that probably answers it in itself. And I mean, unless

577
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: you know, and he's not, you know, they're gonna give

578
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 1: him a bunch of snaps next week, probably not, probably not.

579
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: He needs everyone he can get and I started the

580
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: same with these other guys. I mean, I mean, his

581
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: only shot would be an injury to one of the three,

582
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: or Rudolph gets straighted or something. Yeah, and it is

583
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: the only chance that he did get a chance to

584
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: even get reps in practice really, because you should note

585
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: that the Steelers are in full pads again today. Yeah. Yeah,

586
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: so that was a good practice yesterday. Yeah. I thought

587
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: it was very spirited, physical and you know a lot

588
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: of good drills too that were competitive. So hopefully get

589
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: the same again. Um, it doesn't seem to have the

590
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: same exuber incests early as it did yesterday. But we'll see. Yes,

591
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: it's very very early. They're just doing indie stuff. Yeah,

592
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: we'll see how all things go here. Um, the offensive

593
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: lineman heading down there to get ready to do seven shots,

594
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: and you will see the defensive lineman to come over

595
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: here in a bit. But the right now that again,

596
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver still practicing that fade route down down

597
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: the Yeah, run the same drill over and over, I mean,

598
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: the same route over and over. It's quarterbacks. You're taking

599
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: a taking pass, rolling out to their left and throwing

600
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: again that ten yard out. That's about an eight yard out,

601
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah about it? Yeah, so but on the run, quick

602
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: question the pecking order at quarterback. Do you think at

603
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: this point pick it's gonna get the second team stuff

604
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: or do you think him and Rudolph are bouncing back

605
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: and forth like they did much of camp. I mean,

606
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: we'll find out here with seventh shots. It'll be interesting. Yeah, today,

607
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: well we'll know, we'll know for shore and seven shots,

608
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, going through the drill work here. Yeah, he

609
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: was two yesterday going through the drills here though today

610
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: rudolphs two and I wasn't even watching their just the

611
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: order of how they're they're doing things here. No, you're right,

612
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: so we'll see in seven shots. I mean if jumps

613
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: out of a lot of cons hand. Somebody asked me,

614
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: who you know which which quarterbacks have the strong you

615
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: know his which quarterback is the strongest arm? And I'm like,

616
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: mightbe him? I said, I think it's Trabinsky has the

617
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: strongest arm. And then it's a lot of cons second

618
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: like that a little bit right, I mean, Trabinsky of

619
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: the three that play, has the strongest arm. But he

620
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: throws it pretty well. And it's a real loose, easy

621
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: motion too. Yeah, what's just throw rolling to his rolling

622
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: to his right, there's like three steps and letting it go.

623
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: The ball just jumps. Yeah. Yeah, and he's got that

624
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: real fluid you know release, real easy thrower, easy gas.

625
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: I can see why they like that. Guy. Yeah right,

626
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean we're really getting ahead of ourselves. But I'm

627
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: curious what he looks like next camp. Yeah, people, everyone,

628
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: we're forgetting about him. But I bet he plays a

629
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: lot of Maybe that's the reason why you don't play

630
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: him in the preseason, because you don't anybody else get

631
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: a look at it. And I was thinking that too,

632
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: like you know exactly what he is. You have nothing

633
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: by playing him in the right and except for letting

634
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: the world know a little bit more about him if

635
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: he makes some dramatic play and he's on Sports Center,

636
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: like you don't want that, right, Yeah? Right, Yeah, I

637
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: mean I don't know if anybody would pick him up,

638
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: but they might, you know, I mean there's a little

639
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: more knowledge on him. They probably some other teams liked him,

640
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: and you know, coming out of the draft. Yeah, I'm sure. Um.

641
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: You know that's why people have asked me why did

642
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers drafted me? Well, they weren't gonna be able

643
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: to sign an undrafted free agent quarterback of any note,

644
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: and maybe they had a fifth round grade on him,

645
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: and they're looking at him like, well why don't But

646
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: why don't we just take him and bring another quarterback

647
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: in the mix and see how it goes. Absolutely yeah.

648
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, what do you get to lose their very

649
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: you know? Okay, he was like the second player taken

650
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: in the draft, Like we can't be dramatically different with

651
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: the seventh round safety year guard or something. That's what

652
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: I saw. People they could have drafted another offensive lineman. Really,

653
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: seventh round Lineman's gonna how many of those guys are

654
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: getting right? You know, for every Brett Keisel, there's ten

655
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: other guys who didn't make it. And I'm a big believer,

656
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: which goes back to some of the picket stuff is

657
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: just take as many bites to the other quarterback apple

658
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: as possible. I mean, I mean there's also seventh and

659
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: late round quarterbacks that have made it. Absolutely yeah. I

660
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: mean even in the backup would be worth the know

661
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: well worth that pick. Yeah, I mean, you know, Ryan

662
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick was the seventh round draft pick. It played a

663
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: long time, a long time, very successful career for where

664
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: he was picked. Absolutely. Um. Yeah, So we're getting here

665
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: and up here for seven shots. I think you're seven

666
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: shots down here in this end usually it's where the

667
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: offensive linemen are at right and usually like the big

668
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: guys move but yeah, it must be something. They were down.

669
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: They were down to our left yesterday. I think they

670
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,719
Speaker 1: might be down to our right today. We'll find out here.

671
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: We'll see things not happening quite yet, not quite nothing.

672
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna do a little bit more indie quarterbacks. Looks

673
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: like the running backs over there looks like they're working

674
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: on some past protection they are. Wonder if they're what

675
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: if we might get to see one last shot of

676
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: backsh on backers. That would be nice. Yeah, that would

677
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: be as unsuspected. And usually when they're gonna do backson backers,

678
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: they do this drill if they got a heavy ball,

679
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: and so the backs come out and the coat could

680
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 1: work on their hands, work on getting you know, get

681
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: a push the ball away, get the ball out. They

682
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: start where we know we're a running back would behind center,

683
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: well behind center, and they come out to a target

684
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: real abruptly, real short choppy steps, quick steps sink there,

685
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: but you know, try to get up with a nice

686
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: flat back and there's big, big hands slapping that ball

687
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: away you know as a punch, you know, just like

688
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. It's a good drill. Yeah, absolutely, I agree. Um,

689
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what that was there we go we

690
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: fired off commercial. If somebody tell us we need to

691
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: go to break here. I don't know what's going on

692
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: with that, but Zach Beck in studio says, he promises

693
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: us he did not touch it. Okay, okay, z I

694
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: believe Zach get the message. Yeah, UM, I guess we

695
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: could go to a break here so that when, yeah,

696
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: maybe they do go to seven shots, we'll be ready

697
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: to bring that to you live. So he is Matt Williamson.

698
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: I am Dale Lally. You're listening to the Drive here

699

Speaker 1: on Steelers Nation Radio and ESPN nine seventy. We are

700
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: live here at Steelers training camp at St. Pencent College

701
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: in Lee Trobe. We are the only station bringing you

702
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: all the goods here during practice and we'll be back

703
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: with more right after this. He's the Drive with Dale

704
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: Lolly and Matt Williamson on Home of the Black and

705
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Allly

706
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: here with Matt Williamson and uh we're live from Steelers

707
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: training camp here at Same Pencit College. Just team Steelers

708
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: on the Factor's field right now, going through seven shots here. UM,

709
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 1: tough to tell they're not going super live here now

710
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: they're kind of three quarters. Yeah, the first play was

711
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: a quarterback scramble up the middle. Um kind of they

712
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: cleared out the box and it was kind of a

713
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: that was a actual touchdown there. That's that's touched on

714
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: the fire mouth. Yeah, the fire mouth was as his

715
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: second one. Yeah, second second one, his first one. I

716
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: mean yeah, they're not a live and maybe you know,

717
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: he would have got I don't know if he got

718
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: sacked on that one, but he would have got hit

719
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: at least. But Robinsky's ability to extend plays is very real. Yeah, yeah,

720
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean he got about it. He does a nice

721
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: job with it, you know, sometimes rolling backwards to his

722
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: right left, but it's always with his eyes down field

723
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: to make a throw. And he has the arm strength

724
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: to make some of those throws. Um right, you know

725
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: picts now. So it's just three three chances there for

726
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: Trabisky miss one. I thought there was four. There might

727
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: have been four. We were kind of blocked there. Yeah,

728
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: it was nicely mc kenny. Yeah, that was a quick

729
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: little release, quick little decision. That was nice. Yeah to

730
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: Anthony McFarland. So he is row into his second here

731
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: again today. Um took the little play action and then

732
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: uh rolled to his left and hit McFarland. Mc farland's

733
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: got a lot of passes on this field last week. Yeah,

734
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: he's done well. Yeah. They seem to have a plan

735
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: of some sort for him. Um yeah, certainly part of

736
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: the game and he's gonna get the football. Yeah, okay

737
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: to pick it in the shotgun motions McFarland out from

738
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: his left and puts him out in the slot, takes

739
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: a snap, looking looking to his right him if he

740
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: if he got in bounds or not. It was the Hayward, Yeah, yeah,

741
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: it was a There was a bunch set to the

742
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: left that they had all kinds of you know, picks

743
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: and rubs routes on the left, but he went to

744
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: the right where Hayward came free there. I'm just not

745
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: sure if he got his sole body and bounds or not,

746
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: but it was close to it. Yeah, I think it

747
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: may have been a touchdown. Yeah, I think I would

748
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: give it to Yeah for judging for here from you know,

749
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: looking at it from sixty yards away, right, and how

750
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: the staff and everybody has kind of responded. Yeah, now

751
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: Rudolph is up. I must have missed a TROBISKI I think,

752
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: But the offense is definitely winning this one today. Yeah, yeah,

753
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: and your right. Yeah, but again I make note that

754
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: it hasn't been a full speed boom. That was nice

755
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: bout Rudolph to put it on him immediately keeping they

756
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: caught it. Okay, Yeah, it's a good throw, a good decision.

757
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: So Mason only got one rap, yeah, which is was

758
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: the Tyler Vaughans uh, the hero they gave me that night, right, right?

759
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: So yeah, four two ones usually how they do the quarterbacks. Well,

760
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: early in camp they were doing four three and pick.

761
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't getting any shots with that, and they worked

762
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: him and gave him one, and then you know, they

763
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: started rotating that, getting him one or two snaps, you know,

764
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: opportunities with that. So not bad. Yeah, And I thought

765
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: it was Chrisp. Crisp throws in general there in that

766
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: seven shots period, and we see the running backs heading

767
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: down here with the linebackers. So that's what we wanted

768
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: to see, a little backs on backer action today, and

769
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: I think that's what we're gonna get, right, It looks

770
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: like it, and I assume we'll get one on one

771
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 1: to the other direction to receivers versus corners. Yeah, nobody

772
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: cares about that. Yeah, that's not as good as excellent.

773
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: Absolutely so, um get you get a couple of minutes

774
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: here before they probably started start banging. But there'll be

775
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: some good action with this one. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, I'm

776
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: really interested to watch Warren more than anything. He did

777
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: well the last backs on backers period that I saw,

778
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: it was about a week or so ago. I thought

779
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,959
Speaker 1: he did quite well. But it worries me a little

780
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: bit just with his stature. If this is gonna be

781
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 1: his if he'll be able to shine in this department,

782
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: big picture or not. We've got Nagy verse Splain, I think, Yeah,

783
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: that is the matchup, Nagy versus Splan. Let's see how

784
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: this goes. I would expect Nagy to hold his own here,

785
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: and he doesn't. He did, he did, just had a

786
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: little a little bit Yeah, very late in the rep.

787
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: Really good feet. Yeah. I mean, if you forget how

788
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: big he is and how agile he is laterally, he

789
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: might actually way more than Spleen. I bet he does. Yeah,

790
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: he looks like a bigger person, look at like two

791
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: thirty five ish, somewhere in that rainier than that. Yeah,

792
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't bad, not bad Warren against against got a

793
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: good shot on him. Initial blow kind of misdirected him

794
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: to bush. His credit, he kept up the heat and

795
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, kept coming and might have been able to

796
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: impact to play a little Not a bad rip by

797
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: him that it wasn't Miles jack here and Nausea Harris,

798
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: that was naugy okay, and not another one. Really well

799
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: done by Nagy. Kind of sat down after making cons

800
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: really a strength of his game. It's yeah, and in Alabama,

801
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: I thought he had a little bit of work to

802
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: do that. So he's quietly really very underrated thing for

803
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: running back should be able to do. Yeah, and can't

804
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: get on the field if you can't do that. And

805
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: I find it a little interesting. Nice rapped there by

806
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: Tarrell Evans against McFarland. But fans are cheering about something

807
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: that happened. And on the other side, better somebody caught

808
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: a ball at some of these guys. Miles jack Is

809
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: one came off the edge. Yeah. I thought that was

810
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: interesting that the Miles didn't line up, uh, you know,

811
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: straight ahead and from a typical linebacker spot and they

812
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: strapped there by Arthur Molette. Yeah, I was growing a

813
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: music player. Yeah, I do, I am too. Yea, he

814
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: can slot slot blitz is he can do with reloaded

815
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: that one again here, but he ducked, He ducked and

816
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 1: got under um. Now Malette comes hard. Yeah, working against

817
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: uh a much bigger man there too, and and uh

818
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: pretty much always will be yeah right. But so if

819
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: you can get a d back isolated on a running

820
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: back in a blitz situation, you got a shot. Yeah,

821
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: he was working against master Tigue, who was He takes

822
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: a big guy. Yeah right, he's a much bigger back.

823
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: He did a he won the second room. He got

824
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: to rant here against Buddy Johns, against Buddy Johnson. Yeah, good,

825
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: say Durant one. Some of these are draws, but I

826
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 1: mean I think to draw the offense wins, you know,

827
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: right right now, because that's this one favors the defense

828
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: in a in a big way. Mark Robinson tried to

829
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: go inside there that didn't work, and that was against

830
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: dominant Ye. I mean he's bigger than all the backs.

831
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean bigger on the backs and such long arms

832
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: because they don't have the outside guys. Are these are

833
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: these are safeties and line middle inside linebackers coming here.

834
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: Interesting they're using it. They don't usually use Edmonds in

835
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: this drill the first maybe a little more blitz with them.

836
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: That was again Warren against Bush. Yeah, I think Warren

837
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: won that one all in all. That's a good matchup too.

838
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: It is a good match that Warren's still in there. Thing.

839
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: Now see that's one there. That was McFarland against uh Millette.

840
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: That's one that that McFarland has to be able to

841
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: hold his own on. Yeah, that's a much quickness, you know,

842
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: I can it gets run over. I get it. As

843
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: I say, it's forgivable if he gets run over, you know,

844
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean, and he holds his own, but somebody just

845
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: gets a bigger and bull rushes him right down the

846
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: middle of him. I mean, I can understand that, But

847
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: you don't want to get out quick in this if

848
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: you're McFarland. They do not. He has met Williams and

849
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm Dale while you're listening to the Drive here on

850
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio and ESPN nine seventy bringing live coverage

851
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: here from Steelers training camp practice. Not bad job by

852
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: Teague on that one. No, when they take the outside path,

853
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: I always wonder, like, I mean, is that cheating if

854
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: you're supplaying because he kind of dips them, rips them.

855
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 1: Thirty four, just put put forty on his back. I

856
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: mean that was a power move and just flat out

857
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: dumped them. Right again, you don't we don't know that's

858
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for Terrell Evans. He's not gonna

859
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: get any more reps on this, but that was a

860
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 1: good way to leave that jobs the defensive guys we

861
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: got over in the other field. We got outside linebackers

862
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: working against tight ends here as well. Lots of competition

863
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: going on right now on the opposite field over over here,

864
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: we got one on ones run blocking, offensive. Wish I

865
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: can watch all these separately, right this are this are

866
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: four good competition periods here in front of us at

867
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: the same time. Right we got one on one on

868
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: line line one on one Bush Bush just beat the

869
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: Nagy Harrison. Yeah, that's what you want to see. That's

870
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: approbsolutely right, and I'm definitely Bush in that situation. I

871
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: know Nase you can do it. Yeah, but that's got

872
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: to concentrate on the end for him. Boat brought the

873
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: lumber on that one too. That's what you gotta do

874
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: in this. Yeah, they're doing the tight end. Will Be's

875
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: outside linebacker run blocking over that's always a good drill too. Yeah. Yeah,

876
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: get to see which of the asking of the past

877
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: block is a problem from fight ends. But I mean

878
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: the run blocking game is a good you better be

879
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: able to do it. That Edmonds coming back down against Movie.

880
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: They wanted to take some more reps doing this. Maybe

881
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 1: it's one of the run back and forth on the fields,

882
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: like getting tired, run over into the field to the

883
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 1: other what do you go down there? And they're like,

884
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: get out of here, you go go back down the

885
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: rusher pass or some more. No, now he's heading back again.

886
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: Oh geez, No, he wants him, just keeps kicking him out.

887
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 1: I wonder you know, he left with a bang though,

888
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: and that we saw we saw some dime yesterday. Maybe

889
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 1: you send Edmunds down there because you're thinking about using

890
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: him maybe more as a linebacker in the dime. I

891
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: think that adds up. I think that's a great observation.

892
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have paid oh yeah, of the

893
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: six dbs that would be involved, he would be He's

894
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: the big biggest run stoppy ish blitzer ish you know.

895
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, so that would add up, you know, have

896
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,479
Speaker 1: him hovering around the box. Yeah, it would makes some sense.

897
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: And he's yeah, he's I mean I talked him time today.

898
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: I talked to the Monte Casey today. Um, and he's

899
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: not a real big dude. Um, No, he's not. I'll

900
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: tell you what. He's a he's a strong tackler. Um.

901
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: He that showed up in the game when he when

902
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: he tackled, so they stayed tackled, like they didn't they

903
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: didn't grow his body around. He's not bashable at all.

904
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: That's what he told me. He's like, it's all about

905
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: you know, the size doesn't matter. It's all about the heart. Yeah.

906
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: I mean he may bounce off of Derrick Henry or so,

907
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: but he's not going to go down trying, right. I

908
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: mean that's he's not the only d back in the

909
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: league that's gonna have a hard time with those dudes.

910
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: But no, I like the way he plays a lot. Yeah,

911
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it goes back to the nickel dime conversation.

912
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: But I think you need to get him on the

913
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: field some you know, right, even when everyone when everyone's healthy,

914
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 1: you'reading on the opponent all that too. But I agree,

915
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: Washington beating Texas the win is in the books. So

916
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: Washington advancing now to face Mexico in the semifinals tomorrow.

917
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: Very nice. This is the farthest to Washington team has

918
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: made in several years. Here, can you help the sound

919
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: on congratch you guys, Huh, it's it's a lot of

920
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: work to get that all together. But uh, coming to fruition,

921
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: teams didn't start with in the series or in our league.

922
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: The World Series starts with ten teams being down to

923
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: the final four. Now, very nice, and that's the furthest

924
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: you guys have gone in a while. Yeah, it's tough.

925
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean your facial International competition there teams are being

926
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: picked for much much larger. Texas can put a pretty

927
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 1: good team together. Yeah, um, you know some of these areas.

928
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: I remember when you're Timmy, Emmy Florida was there and

929
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: they won the good good rep there against them that

930
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: plane against Nagi, his hands in on him early and

931
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: stunned him a little bit. Yeah, he couldn't finish because

932
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: se Spelane's balances questionable, you know, I mean, like if

933
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: that's von Miller, I know von Miller's awesome, but I

934
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: mean he gets the passer there, you know, he doesn't

935
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't go down to one knee. But you're also

936
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: not getting von Miller coming clean like yet against him, right.

937
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: I just mean, like, you know, pass rushers that can

938
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: get low and not lose speed and all that. I mean,

939
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: Spellane doesn't have that, but he had that thumb. Was

940
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: that a rep for twenty one? There? Train Norwood coming

941
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: in there, awful off the edge. More and more d

942
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: backs showing up in the strill, So who's milette? Norwood

943
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 1: and Edmonds have all gotten around. Okay, it doesn't take

944
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: a whole lot of deductive to see what they might

945
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: be working on the up here. It was like a

946
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: D back too. I can't see number thirty. That's thirty.

947
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 1: That's Carlin's platel Okay, he's a kind of a high

948
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: bird safety slash corner. He's sort of a norwoodish type guy. Yeah,

949
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: not just an outside corner. He's the guy that was

950
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: a division two guy and then went back for his

951
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: fifth year grad and went to South Carolina and became

952
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 1: an immediate starter. So that's he's had some rough moments.

953
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: But that's not easy jumped to make. That's not that's

954
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: a good point. So we got we're coming here another

955
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: another defensive back. Yeah, thirty coming again here. They gotta

956
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: reload that one. They want to see this again. So

957
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,439
Speaker 1: it's a platel against It looks like Mateo Durant. Yeah

958
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: that's not Mateo Durant's strong suit. No, he's left his

959
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: feet jumping, kind of jumped in the air and it

960
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: got a little awkward. A stronger rusher would have thrown

961
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: him to the side, and he was lucky he was

962
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: get to the back. Yeah, if that's a you know,

963
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: if that's t J. Watcher, he throws him over unto

964
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: the other field. Yeah, not bad. By thirty three duck

965
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: his head a little bit, but he stayed square and

966
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: moved well. Laterally he's not bad. No, he's not. Yeah,

967
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: not bad. He's growing on me too, Yeah for sure. Um,

968
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: we got we'll do one last rep here before we

969
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: head off to break here. Who is this one we've got?

970
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: It looks like Mark Robinson lining up here on the

971
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: defensive side of things, and it looks like the running

972
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: back is I'm going to do a power of deduction here.

973
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: It's not in uniform though today, so Benny Snell is back.

974
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that. Wow, that was Master teagu getting

975
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: run over by Robinsons real good. Russ went straight through.

976
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: There was three or four right down the middle, defensive

977
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: defensive players. It just running back. They run that one back.

978
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: Give more time. Yeah, you don't like dirty guy, but

979
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: you do want to leave on that now, you don't

980
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: want to do that. Give him a He got low,

981
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: but he just got bowled over. He got bowled over.

982
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: There was a lot of pop in his hands. Robinson

983
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: has some ability. Yeah, it just needs exactly. Yeah, they

984
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: see some trade. Okay, okay, that always happens. Like a guy.

985
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: When a guy goes with the power move like that,

986
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:57,959
Speaker 1: then he tries to go with speed the next plane.

987
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't work. It didn't work again when yeah, right

988
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: and he takes the outside and low down one again. No,

989
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna go to break. He is Matt Williamson.
