16
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 3: I like pull back cartain. Yeah, this is It's a

17
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: fun way to start every show. Ye yeah, payt the

18
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: picture for everybody we go on the air too. So

19
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: I usually go to lunch like as late as possible

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: so I can come straight. I don't go lunch to

21
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: dorm to hear so I'm hungry, hungry, hungry, and so

22
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 3: I usually go over there around one walk across campus,

23
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 3: come back here, and I got fifteen minutes to spare

24
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: or whatever. A wonderful lunch.

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: Day, outstanding shrimp poe boys. Yeah, well fund everybody in

26
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: the cafeteria.

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: A plus on that. But I made the mistake because

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: I guess at one o'clock they open up here on

29
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 3: the left. Yes, they you know, they let all the

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: autograph seekers go that way. Yes, And I left my

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: dorm room at like one exactly.

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 4: So I was just in the her You were like

33
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: mufassa in the stampede exactly.

34
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was just like fending for my life. Get

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: get back up there, and you know, like, man, there's

36
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 3: a ton of people, eat my lunch, come back down,

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: and it's hard to get help.

38
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 4: Probably couldn't. It probably was a pain for you to

39
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 4: get across the Yeah.

40
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: So, I mean the weather is phenomenal, you know, coming

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 3: off Friday night lights. I think there's a lot of energy,

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: a ton of people here. I expect this to be

43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: a pretty spirited practice. Once again, even though they're not

44
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: in Pats.

45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree with you. No pads out here today.

46
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: A couple more details that will that will paint for

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: you as we roll along. But it is packed here today.

48
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: It really.

49
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: The hill to our left is basically entirely covered, the

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: hill to our right basically entirely covered. And one one

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: thing that makes me laugh here, Matt and you and

52
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: I have we've kind of joked about some of this stuff,

53
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: is camp has gone along. You know, the real real

54
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: reporters and journalists that are here, they all tweet out

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: the same stuff at the same time. When seven Shots

56
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: is going on, you get you get a dozen of

57
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: them who tweet the same thing after every play when

58
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: there's bad weather, like I've laughed every the last week

59
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: when we had the couple bad weather days, every single

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: day when practice got caught earlier when there was weather

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: rolling in, like, they all take the same picture of

62
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: the weather coming in over the over the monastery, over campus,

63
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: and then you see a dozen of them tweeted out

64
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: at the same time that picture today, Matt, and I'm

65
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: gonna show you right now. Oh wow, it's the it's

66
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: like the it's the it's the main road down here

67
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: on campus. And all the grass that's beside it. And

68
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: I've and the picture that everybody's set out is the

69
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: amount of cars that are parked down there, and how

70
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 2: I don't remember, they don't remember ever being so many

71
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: cars here that they had to park people down there

72
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 2: on the main drag. That's an unusual scene and it's

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: not surprising. This is one of the highest attended weekends

74
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: we've talked about this. People go to Friday night lights,

75
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: they get a hotel or an airbnb or camp or

76
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: something in this area. Then you get to turnaround and

77
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: you can come to practice the next Saturday afternoon. You

78
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: can kind of double dip in that regard. It's a

79
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: beautiful day today, as we mentioned too, it's like high seventies.

80
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: It's not too hot, but it's a really nice summer

81
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: day to be outside and take some football in. And

82
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: so yeah, I think that has led to what is

83
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: one of the biggest crowds that we've seen here on

84
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: campus in this twenty twenty five training.

85
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again I expect a ton of energy. Does

86
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: look like we have some some veterans sitting I was

87
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: going to say some notable absences. That's where I was

88
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: going next namely QB one.

89
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: If you were hoping to see Aaron Rodgers out here today,

90
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: you're just gonna have to watch him walk around as

91
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: he is not participating.

92
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 4: He's getting a veteran's day off.

93
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not wrong, but it's just I'm sure some

94
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 3: people are upset since it is so well attended, but

95
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: that's the way it goes. I haven't paid attention to

96
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 3: Cam and Watt and some of the others, but I

97
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: would be shocked if we see a lot of those

98
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: guys as well. Yeah, see them all loose back though,

99
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: say sayam Alu is back, Yeah, which is fantastic here

100
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: as Roderick Jones is out there once again as well too.

101
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 3: He's got a groin or something too, and sounds like

102
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: it wasn't his best showing last night.

103
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm wondering on how much exactly we're going

104
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: to see a Broderick and say them all in today.

105
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: I know they're out there, but how much we will

106
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: see of them obviously to be determined.

107
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 3: The last practice that was here, Broderick only did those

108
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: couple reps of seven shots and and basically shut it down.

109
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: So I mean he's he's definitely fighting through something.

110
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: He certainly is.

111
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: And this is the time of year where you're gonna

112
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: put caution above all else, particularly with somebody who needs

113
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: to be your left tackle for seventeen games and of

114
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: course for a regular season.

115
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, so, uh that was up for Dylan Cook

116
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 3: opens the door for Dylan Cook for for some other

117
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: guys who Hey, it's it'll be good to see them

118
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: get some reps and get some work in as well

119
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: as you're gonna need. As we've talked about many times, Uh,

120
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 3: some people to emerge along that offensive line.

121
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: Sounds like Stephen Jones was one of those guys.

122
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not a well known name, but I think

123
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 3: they have a little bit of hope for him, you

124
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: know right, I think they do.

125
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: As he is a second year guy out of Oregon,

126
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: twenty four years old, guard on the interior. He was

127
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: one of the guys that you know this too, Like

128
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: I listen, Matt, we're here, we watch practice, but I

129
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: do this with you, like I like to pick the

130
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: brain of people that I think are people that I

131
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: know are smarter than me.

132
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: Max Starks is one of.

133
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: Those people as well too, and he came away very

134
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: impressed with Stephen Jones and thought like, hey, you know

135
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: how we've kind of been talking about for a week

136
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: out here.

137
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 4: You start you need some people to emerge there in

138
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: that group, and that you know, we've been one of them. Yeah,

139
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: you've been hoping for a lineman to be one of them.

140
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: And it sounds like, hopefully, at least maybe Stephen Jones

141
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: is taking a step in that direction as we see

142
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: him in the end zone right now working with Troy Fealtonaum.

143
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad you brought that name up because there

144
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 3: has been a few people just mentioning him here and there,

145
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: and I keep harping on, man, I hope we don't

146
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 3: get too deep into this O line depth chart throughout

147
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 3: the course of the year. And I'm not saying he's

148
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: the next Allent Fanica, but I mean, if he can

149
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: be a quality NFL player, you got him for nothing.

150
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: I mean he's somebody to be aware.

151
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 4: Of, Yes, absolutely, as is.

152
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: Doug Nestor, who's standing next to him, who I was

153
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: picking Max's brain about as well too.

154
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: He's the second year guy out of West Virginia.

155
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: He was, you know, running mates with with Zach Fraser

156
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: there in Morgantown for a while spent last year on

157
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: the practice squad.

158
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 4: We see him down there as well too. You just

159
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: need somebody in that group you need Yeah.

160
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you mayn kind of count on her, right, you know.

161
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: Right now, you're hoping that you can get to, you know,

162
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: the end of August and feel good about seven or

163
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: eight guys in that in that room, not just your

164
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: starting five.

165
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 4: So that's something we'll continue to keep an eye on.

166
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: Again, as Matt mentioned, you're not gonna be able to

167
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: get those guys off the street, generate them. From what

168
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: you're looking at.

169
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: There's not Amari Cooper and Gabe Davis and and and

170
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: guys like that at that position.

171
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: And they're allowed to get better and they're gonna coach

172
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: them up, and that's why they're here, you know, absolutely.

173
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: As Matt and I will kind of do our job

174
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: and paint the picture of everything going on, But it

175
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: is once again a non padded practice, as we mentioned,

176
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: so only so much that we can deduce from that.

177
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: But it's still an important day of workout here, and

178
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: I gotta think, I don't know, I gotta think we're

179
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: gonna see some fun drills out here today with with

180
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: this crowd on hand, I gotta feel like maybe we'll

181
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: get some wide receiver and some defensive back one on

182
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: ones here on the main field to kind of, you know,

183
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: get the crowd go and some things like that.

184
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 3: That qualifies as you can do backs on backers, but

185
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: you can do one on ones. Yeah, you know that

186
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: kind of stuff, right. Yeah.

187
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely, As they will be in pads again tomorrow, which

188
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: is the good news, as we'll finally have another padded

189
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: practice to broadcast for you here at campus.

190
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: So, by no means is that Mike Tomlin's job to

191
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: be an entertainer. He's here to coach a football team

192
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: win football games. His goal is pretty simple. That being said,

193
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: he and the organization do recognize this is a Saturday

194
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: that's packed, you know, not that they're going to do

195
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: crazy ring around the Rosie, Kansas City Chief stuff or

196
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 3: anything like that, but they probably will do a driller

197
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: two that is very crowd friendly, you know what I mean?

198
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I believe, I believe that is a good way

199
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: to put a crowd friendly Calvini.

200
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: I would say tomorrow is going to be a banger again,

201
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: and then you're sticking around for both they could have

202
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: a real different feel tomorrow.

203
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and then you have a kind of a different

204
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: week next week as well too, as you'll be heading

205
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: to Jacksonville and from.

206
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: Ye kind of a little bit of game prep.

207
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it feels like Sunday, safe to bet,

208
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: tomorrow physical practice, maybe Tuesday. Coming off the bye week,

209
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: week off the day off, I'm already getting a regular

210
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: season mode here, Matt coming off the day off physical one.

211
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, Matt, a little over a week

212
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: from now, or exactly a week from now, we will

213
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: be in Jacksonville.

214
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 4: I'll be getting to the stadium in Jacksonville from about Saturday.

215
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.

216
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: Usually the home games I get there four, you know,

217
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: maybe four and a half hours early. Road games, I

218
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: like to go and if something goes wrong, I'm explained

219
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: exactly as you get it. It's it's it's obviously different

220
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: when you're at your home turf and all that as

221
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: in somebody else's stadium. Now, I have been to Jacksonville

222
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: Stadium before, but there's also just so I think I've

223
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 2: showed you how this sausage.

224
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 4: Is made, but I'm not sure, but I am curious

225
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 4: for the road games.

226
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: The Steelers equipment guys are kind enough to transport our

227
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: radio Raquinness. So it's this massive. I mean I'm talking

228
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: close two hundred pounds. I mean it would be like

229
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: it'd be like trying to shoulder.

230
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: Tip a cow, you know what I mean, if you

231
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 4: were if we were trying to run it over and

232
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 4: it's on big wheels. But it's massive, it's about two

233
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: hundred pounds.

234
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: So so they get it to where it needs to be, guys, Yeah,

235
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: they like we.

236
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: Like dan Quinlan who's our producer in Brian Lamartina. For

237
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: the away games, they take it down to the facility

238
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: every week, you know. For the home games, it just

239
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 2: gets brought to the stadium obviously, gotcha.

240
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: But the equipment, guys, there's not a home run, a

241
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: home run and a road one.

242
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 2: Same rack, same rack all season because we share a

243
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: home booth with that university that's located in the Oakland

244
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: district that used to employ you. So unfortunately we can't

245
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: leave our stuff. We got to swap it out for

246
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: those guys.

247
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: So I imagine most teams just leave stuff there. I

248
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 3: would think, just lock it, I would think. So.

249
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: So for road games, equipment guys are kind enough to

250
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: make sure that that gets from point a Pittsburgh to

251
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: point B, Jacksonville or wherever we're at for us.

252
00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 3: And you're not in charge of getting on the play

253
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 3: lane or no.

254
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 4: That's what that's the part that they.

255
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: That they handle for us because they bring in extra

256
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 2: staff for that, as you could, like they bring in

257
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: moving crews to help them.

258
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: Live on the plane heavy because they're so much.

259
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 2: I mean, it would take them. It would take them

260
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 2: probably from sun up the sun down, you know, just

261
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: for the equipment staff. If they were going to load

262
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: all that stuff in themselves. Sure, so they get some

263
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: extra help, but they get it all loaded for us.

264
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: They get it off on the.

265
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 4: Plane, off the plane and to the stadium.

266
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so I have to go to Like my first

267
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: thing I do for away games when I get there

268
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: is go right to our locker room.

269
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 4: Because the equipment they do not, which I don't. I

270
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: don't blame them for That's not your job, that's my job.

271
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: But you just understood before I thought they got it

272
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: to the boot.

273
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: They get it to the visitor locker room in the

274
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: bowels of insert stadium name wherever the plane. So I

275
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 2: have to get through security, which sometimes is easy, sometimes

276
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 2: takes a little while. Also find the rights. When you're

277
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: getting to a stadium five hours early, you can't just

278
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: go in wherever you want. There's usually only one gang

279
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: gate that you can get into at that time.

280
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 4: So I got.

281
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: It's just Quentland yet, our producer, Dan Quinland, and then

282
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 2: everybody else gets there not too far after, you know,

283
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 2: but we're kind of the first one, the proverbial first

284
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: ones in. So we have to get through, find the

285
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: security gate, get through security, find the visitor locker room,

286
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: get to the visitor locker room, then get the stuff

287
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: out of the visitor locker room, find an elevator that

288
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: can get us up to the press box, Get up

289
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: to the press box, find out which booth were in,

290
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: and then proceed to set up all of our equipment.

291
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 2: We've got to go down on the field and test, like.

292
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: Baltimore, cin is easier, easier now Chicago then you never

293
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: go absolutely and some of.

294
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,599
Speaker 2: The newer stadiums, like we've done Mercedes Benz, you know,

295
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: every This will be the first year in three years

296
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 2: I've been traveling with the team, my fourth year that

297
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 2: we haven't gone to Mercedes Benz because Steelers played a

298
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: regular season game there than a preseason game there, then

299
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: last year the season opener there, So like you know,

300
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: three games at Mercedes Benz.

301
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 4: Now I'm familiar. I know exactly the root team there

302
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 4: and the division games.

303
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: Absolutely Jacksonville, like I said, I've been there months before,

304
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: and I'm fortunate to have Quinlan.

305
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 4: He's been doing this for like fourteen years.

306
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 3: So he's probably been in just about He's been in just.

307
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: About every building.

308
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 3: But even still, you don't remember exactly right right, Like

309
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: we went.

310
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: To we went to Sofi.

311
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: We both went to Sofi two years ago, but since then,

312
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: you know, there's gonna be fifteen stadiums that we go

313
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: to between being there last year two years ago and

314
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 2: then being there again this year.

315
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: So that's kind of it's logistics.

316
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: So we go on air from the booth three hours

317
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: early on game days, if that makes sense. So three

318
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: hours before the game starts is when we need to

319
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: be set and ready.

320
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 4: To go in the booth.

321
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: Oh okay, okay, okay.

322
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 2: So that's why we get there about five hours early,

323
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 2: because you give yourself that you are give it. You

324
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: guys give us that hour a cover from back in

325
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: the studio before we go live in the booth.

326
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 4: And so five hours.

327
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: That gives me about a half an hour to get in,

328
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: get the stuff, get up to the booth, gives me

329
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: about an hour to set everything up, and then a

330
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: half an hour of buffer space in case something goes wrong.

331
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 2: That's kind of that, which, yes, I am going to

332
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: knock on wood as I say this, but fortunately, I mean,

333
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 2: you always have a couple of little issues, but we

334
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 2: haven't had any crazy, colossal problems.

335
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 3: And I would think most NFL stadiums are prepared for it.

336
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 4: And that's that.

337
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 2: Like like Dan told me that, you know, when he

338
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: first started doing it, I think in two thousand and nine.

339
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: He's like, it's come a long way even since then.

340
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: You know, in the last fourteen fifteen years of there's

341
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: set uniform standards that each team has to have.

342
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: From you in the booth.

343
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 3: Somebody probably regulates it league wide and probably different if

344
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 3: you were like the Western Michigan chip.

345
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: Was exactly exactly right, exactly right totally, and there's you know,

346
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: there's there's dedicated tech people in the booth.

347
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 4: So the one or two times that like we've gotten.

348
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 3: There and there are NFL employees dedicated yeah, yeh, people

349
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 3: don't know about that.

350
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: Stu and you know, like like one time, I forget,

351
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: we got to one of the stadium I think it

352
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: was a preseason game, maybe in Carolina a couple of

353
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: years ago or something like that, and we're and I'm like, dan,

354
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: oh no, I'm like that, I'm getting no internet signal

355
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: here in the booth nothing. And he's like, he's like yeah,

356
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: He's like, it's first preseason game of the year. I

357
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: actual they just haven't turned it on yet. And he

358
00:14:59,040 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: like goes down the.

359
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 4: Hallway and comes back to switch, comes back three minutes later,

360
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 4: and he's like, yeah, they just had to flick a switch.

361
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 4: It should be good now. So most of the time

362
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 4: exactly like a boat or or you know what I mean.

363
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 4: And so sometimes there's little snaffoos like that, but most

364
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: of the time it is very smooth, very professional.

365
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 3: Uh as you can imagine the NFL a well oil,

366
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 3: there's no shoes. It shouldn't be exactly. Yeah, I mean,

367
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: it's a multi bazillion dollar operation. You can't be having

368
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: any team being hung out to drive exactly.

369
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: And those you know, those those as much as it

370
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: is still radio in twenty twenty five, those radio sponsorship

371
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: deals are massive and large and just there's a lot

372
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: that can't go wrong there, or you're going to be

373
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: stepping on a lot of sponsors, toes and people who

374
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: have spent a lot of money to get their stuff

375
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: red and out on the air.

376
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: So since we're going down this avenue and they're still

377
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: just just.

378
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 4: Warming, we'll get into practice here when we come back.

379
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: Does it ever get dicey getting everything back in the

380
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: case and where the case needs to be? Because that

381
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: that what I do know about traveling with the team.

382
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: That plane's not waiting for you, certainly not. They'll wait

383
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: for Tomlin, they'll wait for Rooney, they'll wait for Roethlisberger.

384
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: They're not waiting for you.

385
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: That that might be about the famous time in fact,

386
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: if you recall that Antonio Brown and Lev Bell got

387
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: in trouble before a preseason.

388
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: Game, okay, and the Steelers did not wait for them.

389
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

390
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 4: So if you're not waiting for me, they they certainly

391
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 4: are not.

392
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: From the time that the game ends, okay, and Mike

393
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: Tomlan has shaking John Harbaugh's hand, yeah, Andy Reid's hand.

394
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 3: Or whoever he's gonna do a press conference.

395
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: From that moment, really that the game ends, and the

396
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: coaches shake hands. You got about sixty minutes till the

397
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: buses leave.

398
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, from the the final score and the you know

399
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: the broadcasts with the wide shot and there's the graphic

400
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 4: and there's the coaches shaking hands and all the guys

401
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 4: taking pictures.

402
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 3: Stop watch, you're a bank.

403
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: You got about sixty minutes, and we have to stay

404
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: live on air until Mike Tomlin's press.

405
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 3: Conference is over, right, and you can shut everything down.

406
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: That takes probably fifteen to twenty minutes because he's going

407
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: into the locker room talking to the guys first, you

408
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: know it.

409
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you do only win his press conference even at start.

410
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: Exactly right, and so it's like from the time that

411
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: that he gets to that Pody show, then we go

412
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 2: to you guys at the postgame show, and then it

413
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: is a mad rush. I mean, me and Quinlan and

414
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 2: we're like shuffling. We're like king Wolf, get out of here,

415
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 2: miss it, get down to the plane, you know.

416
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: What I mean.

417
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 2: And we're like shoving stuff into the crate and packing up.

418
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: And again we're a pretty well oiled machine at this point.

419
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 2: We've got it all down. But we we have been

420
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: we have been once or twice in uh, in three

421
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: years we have been we have been very close to

422
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: missing the buses.

423
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 4: It's been like a good thing. You guys got here

424
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 4: when you did. We're getting ready to roll in the

425
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 4: next minute or two.

426
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 3: That's pretty great.

427
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, so it's uh, it's a lot of fun.

428
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 4: But it can start at times.

429
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 2: Yes, and that plane is leaving, and hey, maybe if

430
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: you know you're in somewhere like Atlanta or Charlotte or something,

431
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 2: it's not the worst thing in the world. But if

432
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: you're I guess, if you're out on the West coast,

433
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: or maybe somewhere like Green Bay or I don't know, Dublin, Ireland.

434
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 4: Although I got to imagine there'll be a little more

435
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 4: lenient with the time. I think we'll be a little

436
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 4: more leanient at the time and making sure everybody's on

437
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 4: the same page when we go out of the country.

438
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,959
Speaker 2: But still don't be too late, all right, They might

439
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: give you an extra minute or two, but not too much.

440
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: As Chris Boswell is smashing some long field goals in

441
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: front of us, warm up, still ongoing, stretching all that

442
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,040

443
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 3: Day here, beautiful.

444
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: This is not one where I think many guys will

445
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: have to tap out or get any rest or any

446
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: worries about extreme heat.

447
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 4: This will be a fun one today.

448
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll have the guys moving and running and

449
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 2: shaking no pads reminder, but we will still have our

450
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 2: normal practice commentary for you when we come back here.

451
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: As we roll along, things are going to start to

452
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: pick up, so we will take a break now and

453
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,080

Speaker 2: Sun's out, but it's not too warm, just high seventies.

471
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about U.

472
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 3: Take this weather every day.

473
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 4: I will take this weather every day. I would, Matt

474
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 4: if I was like master and commander of the universe.

475
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: Okay, you're right this eleven months a year, it would

476
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 2: be seventy seven degrees in sunny every single day with

477
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 2: a light little breeze. One month we would have thirty

478
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 2: days of extreme winner where it was just like snowed

479
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: like crazy.

480
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 3: For one month December, I'd say you should move to

481
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: like San Diego, or except for that one.

482
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: Except for that one month, except for that one month

483
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 2: of snow. I mean, come on, it's not Christmas. It's

484
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: not the end of football season without some snow and

485
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 2: some weather out.

486
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 3: I do like the seasons. I mean, I'm definitely a

487
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 3: fall autumn fan.

488
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 4: Same heat that could.

489
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: Do without, though, I mean the real, real hot days.

490
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: I can handle the cold fine, but you know, it

491
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 3: gets a little old after a while too.

492
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and like you gotta like shovel the driveway.

493
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, slipping and falling on the ice in the parking lot,

494
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: parking lot at work. Not that I've ever done that before.

495
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: I mean that would be somebody much clumsier who do

496
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: something like that. But Matt, we are into some individual

497
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: periods here. Yeah, practice offensive line work.

498
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 4: Left and yeah, I did want to reach some people

499
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 4: on that.

500
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: Uh look looks like and you know this is through

501
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 2: our best guess and what some people on the sidelines

502
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: have reported. But Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf both getting

503
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: a Veterans Day today.

504
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 4: Uh T. J Watt and Cam Hayward both getting a

505
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 4: Veterans Day today.

506
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: Keanu Benton not out there, as are not Joey Porter Junior,

507
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 2: Corey Trice, Ryan McCollum, and Calvin Anderson Okay.

508
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: Okay, Lie death getting tested a little bit, just.

509
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 4: A little bit.

510
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: Calvin Anderson was injured last night at UH at Friday

511
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: night lights.

512
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 4: Not out there today.

513
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: Keanu Benton also didn't finish practice last night, is not

514
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 2: That's part of the reason why he's not out there today.

515
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: So those guys seem potentially more injury related.

516
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

517
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 4: While Cam Heyward, T J. Watt, DK metcalf Aaron Rodgers all.

518
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: Getting vets days and again, Joey Porter Junior, Corey Trice Junior,

519
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: Uh not thumb.

520
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: That's a couple of days.

521
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 4: Missed last night. He missed last night's practice and Mike

522
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 4: Tomlins said that it was more of a day to

523
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 4: day thing. Didn't expect it to be anything.

524
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 2: Serious, whereas Corey Trice uh picked up another another injury,

525
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: as uh as did Matt. I believe not out there

526
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 2: is uh Dante Kent, who we've discussed a few times

527
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: as well too.

528
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 4: So Hey, you're getting into the what happens, You're getting

529
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 4: into camp.

530
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: You have your most physical practice of the night, or

531
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: of the what is usually of the of the night.

532
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: It's the only night practice, most physical practice. A lot

533
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: of times of this entire camp slate last night, quick

534
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: turn around today, you hope a lot of this is

535
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: just maintenance stuff for those for those guys and and everything,

536
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: as Sayamalu and Roger Jones do have their helmets on

537
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 2: and are going there.

538
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 3: They've been doing quite a bit.

539
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 4: So that's good.

540
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 3: This is the most I've seen Isaac, because Calvin Anderson's

541
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 3: out too. So there, it does create opportunity for others.

542
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: I know Jones has been nursing to groin, but I've

543
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 3: been trying to pay extra attention to him. He's moving

544
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: around pretty well. So all those that list of names

545
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 3: you mentioned, obviously four or five of them are just

546
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 3: veteran rest because they're veteran, yes, Rogers. I don't get

547
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: the impression that if this was week one, any of

548
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 3: them would be missing the game, agreed, you know, I mean,

549
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 3: they're just precaution.

550
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: Now, some of those guys who let who didn't finish

551
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: practice last night, maybe that's a different story.

552
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 3: Right, maybe, But I don't think any of them are

553
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 3: like long term or yeah right, yes, so.

554
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: Uh that's kind of I guess maybe the housekeeping of

555
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: the day that means you're gonna get more of Mason

556
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: Rudolph today. Certainly you'll get more of Will Howard today

557
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: as well too. As we see Mason Rudolph and Jalen

558
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: Warren working on some stuff in front of US defenses

559
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: on the far side of the field, Matt looks like

560
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 2: the lineman might be working on some some ball drills

561
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: down there, trying to jump on bouncing and loose Football's

562
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: linebackers working the sleds down in the end zone. So again,

563
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 2: it'll it'll be a lot going on here today.

564
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 4: Tight ends now in front of us.

565
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: D Y is playing quarterback down there, the former Washington

566
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: then Redskins now commanders full back showing off the arm

567
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: down there. I'll tell you what director of player personnel.

568
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: He might also be in line to uh to to

569
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: give Will Howard.

570
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: And Mason Rudolph a run for their money.

571
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 3: He's a good dude. I don't know if you've ever

572
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 3: met that. I don't know I've ever met him before,

573
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 3: but he's a he's a good dude. Yeah, he played.

574
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: He played fullback from like I want to say, twenty

575
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: ten through twenty fifteen, UH for for Washington back in

576
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: the UH the brief RG three glory days that they

577
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: had the full Yeah for that for that that one year.

578
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, he's he's one of the guys on the

579
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 2: team who I see a lot on the road and

580
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: things like that. He was always a good dude and

581
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: and really nice and takes care of all those guys.

582
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 3: So he's just forgtt of filling in at this point.

583
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: I mean, he's on a position.

584
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: Coach, he's not No, he's he's uh, like I don't

585
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: know if it's player personnel or player development, you know

586
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 2: what exactly the exact title is. But he is not

587
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: a specific coach. But you'll see him down. I mean again,

588
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: he's he played in the league for six or seven years.

589
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 2: You know, he's been around the team for a while.

590
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 3: He's got extensive football he's got.

591
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 2: Extensive football background. I think the guys really trust him

592
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: and know him and everything. And like I said, he

593
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: takes care of He's one of those and this might

594
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: sound funny to some people, but you know this, like

595
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 2: he strikes me as one of those guys who really cares.

596
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 4: About the players.

597
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's not just here trying to advance

598
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: his own career and make a paycheck.

599
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: Like.

600
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 4: He strikes me as somebody who goes above and beyond

601
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 4: to take care.

602
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 3: Of the guys, which is a lot of what the

603
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: player development is. I mean, some of that's like mental issues,

604
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 3: helping you find a place to live, you know, all

605
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 3: those type of things too, some off the field things

606
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: moving as well as hey, you know, I'm looking for

607
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: a nutritionist. You know that type of thing too, you know, absolutely,

608
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 3: so it's a pretty. I'm not sure they existed thirty

609
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 3: years ago on NFL teams, you know, player development guys,

610
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: but they certainly should. I was gonna mention, just to

611
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 3: take a quick rewind. Yeah, a lot of these position

612
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 3: coaches don't mind at all when one or two of

613
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: their guys are taking the day off. I mean, because

614
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: it just gives you more reps.

615
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 4: I can see something divvy out.

616
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I've been wanting to, like you mentioned yesterday,

617
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: number forty, this linebacker Devin Harper. Harper, Yeah, two hundred

618
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 3: pounds or two hundred and thirty four pounds, six foot,

619
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 3: third year out of Oklahoma State. There's been a little

620
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 3: bit about a buzz about him now.

621
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 4: Suda was big up in him yesterday.

622
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess he's given war in a tough time.

623
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, little Oklahoma State on Oklahoma State crime there between

624
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 4: those those two former college teammates. Yeah.

625
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: So I don't think there's any off the ball linebacker

626
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 3: sitting today. But he's a perfect guy. Of Okay, we

627
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 3: have this Saturday with some people out, maybe instead of

628
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 3: him running with the threes, he's gonna run with the

629
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: two's or you know what I mean, And just see

630
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 3: how he handles it against a little bit better competition.

631
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 3: So that happens all the time here.

632
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like you said, even from a coaches standpoint,

633
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: that might be a good thing, you know, Yeah, yeah,

634
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: I think with the offensive line group right now, you know,

635
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: let's let's put some of these other guys to the test.

636
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely, well, Howard's a perfect.

637
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: Well, Howard's a perfect example some of these young wide

638
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: receivers that were still hoping somebody emerges and starts to

639
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 2: you know, separate themselves from the rest of the group.

640
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 3: And Metcalf being out leaves a major void, major for

641
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 3: a two hour practice.

642
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: And as well, as we've talked about too, a lot

643
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: of we know who the guys at the top of

644
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: the pecking order are that defensive front and that defensive line.

645
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 2: But you've got some figuring out to do behind those guys.

646
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: No Hayward, No, Benton.

647
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

648
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 4: A couple other.

649
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: Absences and injuries. Now at that point and you start

650
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 2: to vote that is out there today. Yes, that road

651
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: starts to narrow pretty quickly.

652
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 3: Man, it does, it does. And unfortunately, well fortunately at

653
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 3: this point knock on wood, you know, I mean that

654
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 3: they haven't had big injuries to sustain like, oh no,

655
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 3: we're getting light here, or man, we're getting hit with

656
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: a couple of injuries in the same spot. It's just

657
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 3: opportunities arising, you know. At this point of camp, or

658
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: we halfway.

659
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 4: Through camp, we are just about Yes, this is so.

660
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: I think there's seventeen practices out here and this is

661
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 2: number nine, I want to say.

662
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 4: So.

663
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 2: I think in terms of the just number, in terms

664
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 2: of the calendar their schedule, I think we're about halfway

665
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 2: through camp, but it's a lot more broken up going

666
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 2: forward because you have the trip to Jacksonville and all

667
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 2: that stuff.

668
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think in terms of practices, we are

669
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 4: just over halfway.

670
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: Okay, I thought we were real close, and boy that

671
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: came stuck up. Honestly, it sure did. Sometimes when you

672
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: get to practice fourteen fifteen, it's like, oh, we've been

673
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 3: here a while, but getting the halftime happened pretty quick.

674
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it absolutely did. And uh hey, that's how

675
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 4: these things tend to work.

676
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: You know.

677
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 2: The first couple of days you're like, oh, man, all right,

678
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: let's get this really going, and then all of a

679
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: sudden you're like, hey, the preseason games in the bag

680
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 2: and we've got our last week, you know, after we

681
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 2: get back from Jacksonville, we're out here for two or

682
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: three more practices and then that's it. And then they

683
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: have the closed joint practice with the Bucks at Akrocur Stadium,

684
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: and then that preseason weekend in.

685
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: The door of the season.

686
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then as I joked, you know.

687
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: And as I joked with you, I think this was

688
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: last week or at some point during one of these shows,

689
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: like as Motes would say, trading camp isn't over all

690
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 2: right after that that Bus game, all right, it's just

691
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 2: not Probably, It's not like all of a sudden you

692
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 2: get past that Bucks game and it's like things are

693
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: easy now, boys, all right, we made.

694
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: It us media folks that didn't, you know, strap on

695
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,239
Speaker 3: the pads here at the trow. It's over for us

696
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: because we go home and live in normal life. But

697
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 3: that does not mean it's over for that.

698
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: No, they just are not staying. They're just not staying

699
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: in the dorms and out here anymore. They're just doing

700
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: it back at the facility. And that's one of those

701
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: things like we'd always get to that like final day

702
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: of training camp, and I'd be like, you know, me,

703
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: I always try at the start of every show.

704
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 4: I always like, try and come in with pissing vinegar

705
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 4: and you know, little energy and something, and I'd be like, no,

706
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 4: it's final day of camp, baby, how we feeling? It's

707
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 4: not the final day. It's the final day of Saint

708
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 4: Vincent College, but it's not the final day of camp, right.

709
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 4: That would always make me laugh.

710
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: Different perspective between media.

711
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 4: Right, absolutely.

712
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: And that's kind of how like when you hear the

713
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: way that you and I talk about Satan Vincent and

714
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: training camp, it's a little bit different than the way

715
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: that jack Ham and talk.

716
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 3: About saying JackAM will never come back, never come back,

717
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: never come back, a good memory. I'm not going there.

718
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, spent like two years of my life if you

719
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 4: count all the weeks there on that campus. Uh, And

720
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 4: I have no desire to spend any more time.

721
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 3: I have plenty.

722
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: We got some We got the quarterbacks thrown to some

723
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: tight ends and some wide receivers down the end zone,

724
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: to the right offensive line working to the left.

725
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 4: Defense and special teams are on the far fields.

726
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: I do think in about five ish minutes, five to

727
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: ten minutes, we're gonna have a little seven shots action.

728
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

729
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 2: Man, So Let's take our break now to make sure

730
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: we're back in time for all of that, because that'll

731
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,840

00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,520

Speaker 2: we bring you live action of Rep.

748
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 4: Number three.

749
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: Here, Darnall Washington splits out left, Mason looking right, throwing right,

750
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: and that one off the hands of fire.

751
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 4: Move defended well by Cole Holcombe. Yeah, in the corner.

752
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 4: First rep.

753
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: Nothing really going for the offense, no great coverage coverage,

754
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 2: ball threw it away.

755
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 4: Second rep.

756
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 2: Really nice pitch and catch from Mason to Darnell Washington

757
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 2: in the back of the end zone.

758
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 3: And then so little late in the down but oh no,

759
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 3: it was very nice. Washington's kind of streaking across parallel

760
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: to the back line of the end zone, put it

761
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: high where he goes up and got it and like

762
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 3: plucked it off the rim.

763
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: You know. Yes, that's a very good analogy, something Antonio

764
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: Gates would have been proud of.

765
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.

766
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: And then the third pass falling short for fire moose.

767
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: And this is the fourth rep. Will Howard checking in

768
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 2: now throwing quickly to Schronic in the back of the

769
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: end zone.

770
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 4: That one covered well by Beanie Bishop.

771
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 3: A lot of pressure from Sawyer too, yes, Zach.

772
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 4: Jack Sawyer applying pressure there.

773
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: Maybe forced that out just a second earlier than half

774
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: second earlier than Will Howard wanted. And the defense able

775
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: to close down and break that one up. That will

776
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 2: make it three to one for the defense.

777
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 4: So far. Yes, as Will Howard.

778
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: Will stay under center, or at least in the huddle,

779
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: I should say, we'll see if he's under center. Arthur

780
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: Smith gives final instruction. Will Howard breaks the huddle. He's

781
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: got Connor Hayward and Darnell Washington out there with him.

782
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: Caleb Johnson in the backfield to the right. As there's

783
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: motion to the left of the line of scrimmage. A

784
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: little check with me here real quick, as the offensive

785
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 2: line wants to make sure they are all.

786
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 3: On Blitz coming here from the right side.

787
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: Ye, And Will Howard takes a snap, he wooks the left,

788
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: nice little pitch and catch there.

789
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 4: Well done too.

790
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: Who was that eleven?

791
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 4: Was that eleven?

792
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: Okay?

793
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 4: So that's Brandon Johnson out of central field?

794
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 3: Okay, yep. Real decisive by Howard though.

795
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 4: Very cool. Yeah, knew exactly what he was doing there.

796
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 3: Defense didn't ask to, didn't act too hastily and snap

797
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: it before it's ready. Held his water, But I got

798
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: the ball out apparently made some adjustment the line adjusted

799
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 3: for the blitz boom touchdown. Well done, you know, won

800
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 3: that one from the neck.

801
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: Up, absolutely so good to see the offense respawn there

802
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: after a couple of reps go the defense's way, and

803
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: we will see now Skyler Thompson for the first time

804
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: in seven shots.

805
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: The perfect opportunity for someone else to get a shot

806
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 3: doing something they have and done.

807
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: Trey Sermon will be in the backfield as they are

808
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: in the shotgun Sermon to Thompson's left here as he

809
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 2: now sends Max Herlaman in motion from left to right.

810
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 2: He gets the snap he's looking left now, throws across

811
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 2: the middle and that one into a crowd. Tried squeezing

812
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: it in there to I'm eighty four eighty four, not

813
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 2: Cordero Patterson anymore. But that one was broken up nicely.

814
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: It looked like Killer Brew was in on that. Maybe

815
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 2: it was Chuck Clark as well too. I'm trying to

816
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 2: see there.

817
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 3: That's like a perfect example though I know we'll get

818
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 3: to this next play. But tight window. Maybe you wouldn't

819
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 3: even try that in a game, but hey, I'm getting

820
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 3: a rep here. I'm gonna try to squeeze one in

821
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 3: and try to get some attention, you know, And and

822
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 3: the coaches probably say be aggressive, I would think so

823
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 3: throwing that out of the end zone doesn't do anybody right.

824
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: Right, try and make a tight window throw. Let the

825
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 2: defense make a play on the ball. It will be

826
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 2: once again, Tristan Thompson. He'll once again bring Max Hurlman

827
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: in motion, still in the shotgun. Now, hands up to

828
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: his ears, points to his offensive line. Maybe another change

829
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: here at the line of scrimmage, snap his back. He's

830
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: looking right looking throws to the corner and just out

831
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: of the reach of Max Hurlman.

832
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 3: Not so great by the offense, But defense has some

833
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 3: really good coverage here in these reps.

834
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 4: I think so.

835
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, we score that making them hold the ball.

836
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 4: Score that five to two for the defense.

837
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely a defensive win.

838
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I think so certainly as well.

839
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 4: But nice to see some other guys getting some some

840
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 4: some spin there.

841
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah again, I mean, that's one of the most high

842
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 3: profile things they do in practice, and the meals and

843
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 3: the rewards reflect that. They obviously put a lot of

844
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 3: stock in that. So you get some dudes that are

845
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 3: rarely invited to that drill out there and at least

846
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 3: see what they can do. Yep, it's probably true in

847
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 3: defense too. I didn't do all the defensive personnel groupings

848
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 3: and who's played win and blah blah blah. But you know,

849
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 3: are we gonna get Now, let's see in front of us,

850
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 3: this is gonna be team maybe not, I don't know,

851
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.

852
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 4: But we got the quarterbacks, the quarterbacks, the tight ends,

853
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 4: and the linebackers right in front of us, which makes

854
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: me optimistic we'll get something fun to watch.

855
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, we might have some good kind of one on

856
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 3: one situation here. Yeah, let's is gonna be Yeah, this

857
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: is gonna be kind of backs on backers the receiving version.

858
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 3: That's exactly what we've got. Mooth here line.

859
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 2: Uh and Mason Rudolph. No part of me will Howard

860
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: will throw that one to firemouth, just simple along the sideline.

861
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 4: I'm able to close down the laid out yep, and

862
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 4: it looks like, well.

863
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 3: Look that's an interesting one. Like they pick up four

864
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 3: yards on the catch. Everyone's happy. It's kind of like

865
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 3: a neutral move like it's first and ten. Okay, we

866
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 3: get the second and six. Defense is fine, The offense

867
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 3: is fine.

868
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 4: You know Kenneth Gainwell with a really nice.

869
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can see start the kind of his route

870
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 3: running skills and set up skills. Yeah, obviously this drill

871
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 3: massively favors the offense total. I mean, they have the whole.

872
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 2: Field field to cover one guy. But a nice, nice

873
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 2: little stunner step there. That was himself up from Peyton

874
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 2: Wilson for a for a half yard.

875
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 3: This is a drill. Connor Hayward does well too.

876
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: Yes, Connor Hayward is now I'm trying to see who

877
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: that is that he's going against. But he catches, Oh no,

878
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: over the middle, broken up by Cameron McCutcheon, second year

879
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 2: man out of Western Carolina.

880
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 3: He's a name that I've seen here and there as well.

881
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 2: It's that time, Matt. They got these guys got to

882
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 2: start making plays. You gotta get your name out there

883
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: and we'll see Mark Robinson, I think here, what's going on?

884
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 3: Good camp?

885
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, he absolutely is.

886
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 3: Do we have the DB's and the wide receivers doing

887
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 3: something over here to the left or nothing?

888
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 4: Crazy?

889
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 3: Just start to look. I can't. I think there's somehow.

890
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 4: Working on releases at the line of scrimmage.

891
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't tell if that's I think it's gunner

892
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 3: punt return turned stuff.

893
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah it is.

894
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 3: It is. It's a special team gunner getting off press

895
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 3: coverage drill, which you can get pretty physical, and.

896
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 2: A lot of the a lot of the defenses is

897
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: sitting over on the sideline getting some water, catching a breather.

898
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 2: Offense is now on the far side of the field,

899
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 2: and we got some some special teams.

900
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 3: Where the edge defenders are really doing much of anything

901
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 3: right now.

902
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 2: You know, edge defenders and defensive linemen are getting a breather.

903
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 2: Here as a nice catch there by Jaylen Warrens, Yeah.

904
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 3: Good hands. Yeah, getting away from threaded that one in there.

905
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 4: Getting away from Carson Brunner.

906
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 3: On that round. It wasn't bad coverage either.

907
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: It was Yeah, I thought he I thought he actually

908
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: defended that pretty well as uh, let's see here, but

909
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 2: we'll continue now. I thought for a second there they

910
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,959
Speaker 2: kind of looked back like maybe Mason Rudolph was gonna

911
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 2: step in. But it looks like Will Howard will continue

912
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 2: to be the quarterback of this year. I'll tell you

913
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: what for Will Howard Nation. Uh, today's a good day.

914
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 4: If you are. I'm sorry, Will, I did it to you.

915
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 4: I jinxed you. Quindel Johnson there, second year man out

916
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 4: of Memphis, kind.

917
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 3: Of slow developing route there by four Johnson or Howard

918
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 3: still made the throw but a nice break on the ball.

919
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 4: It was it really was. I'm sorry, Will Howard Nation.

920
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 3: That was my fault. That was all your fault.

921
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 2: That was the curse of the commentator there is. That

922
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: was his by far, I think his worst rep of

923
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 2: the day here today. But he lives to fight another day.

924
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 2: Another buck guy now, Tray Sermon makes a nice move there,

925
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 2: Devin Harper in coverage guy we mentioned earlier for Yeah,

926
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 2: he's one that tomorrow. I think I really want to

927
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: keep an eye on good call, you know, like some

928
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 2: of these like him and and Stephen Jones.

929
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 3: The guard Friar Muth is looking sharp. He runs a

930
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 3: good route there against I mean Wilson, I mean interrupt you,

931
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 3: but I mean a plus starting NFL tight end is

932
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 3: gonna be a nightmare in this drill. And that's what

933
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 3: is I mean, whether it's Tolcombe or Wilson or I mean,

934
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 3: no matter who he's going again, they're always gonna put

935
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 3: a better guy on him. Friar Mouth should win that

936
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: nine out of ten. And he is, yes, well said,

937
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 3: and the ball is coming out on time.

938
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 4: And you know, speaking of tit ends as well too.

939
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 4: Haven't seen John new Smith out there?

940
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: Uh, don't see him he's standing is that is he

941
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 2: standing right there talking to one Thornhill?

942
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,479
Speaker 4: Actually have they have they made? Have they made nice

943
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 4: since there? Since their eventful practice earlier in the week.

944
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 3: So maybe I'm late to the party on this, but

945
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 3: I mentioned when I came down from lunch, I came

946
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 3: down with Friar Mooth and of course the whole crowds

947
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 3: and right, I have something gotten some mister Williamson's my

948
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 3: dad here. Anyways, I came down with Mood, so you

949
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 3: get the big move. But right behind him was John

950
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 3: Hu and everyone went John Who. So then something to

951
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 3: be that said there, I'm like, I can catch on

952
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 3: in stadiums here, pretty good, same position, you know.

953
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 4: You give just as anytime someone catches, even anytime a

954
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 4: tight end catches the ball.

955
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 3: Going right right.

956
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. It's a heck of a legacy

957
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 4: that Heath Miller left. Now every tight end's name has

958
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 4: to be made into something that you can with us

959
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 4: seventy thousands of your best friends.

960
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 3: That was pretty creative for them just to switch.

961
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: That is so that is John Whu because now he's

962
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 2: now he's talking and we should have mentioned this too.

963
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 4: The officials are out here today, Matt.

964
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I meant to say that too, And so.

965
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: John Neuin and Moove picking the brain of one of

966
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 2: the officials. Uh so that was John Uin wan Thornhill exchange.

967
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 2: And I do mean it literally exchanging pleasantries in front

968
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: of us. They must they must have made up nicely

969
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: since since they're dust up the other day. Matt, We've

970
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: got just a couple of minutes till we got to

971
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 2: go to break. And I know that this is something

972
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 2: that that most people are probably familiar with, but I

973
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: think we get a lot of people who jump in

974
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 2: during training camp that aren't die hard listeners, you know,

975
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 2: they're just excited.

976
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: Get haven't listened all off season.

977
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 2: What's the what's what's the benefit. What's the purpose of

978
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 2: having the NFL officials out here today?

979
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: I think for that reason where players can just kind

980
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 3: of pull them over to the side and be like yeah, yeah, yeah,

981
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 3: you know, or I mean, I do know. So I

982
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 3: had lunch with some media folks that were just coming

983
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 3: from an officials meeting where they were talking about and

984
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll see articles about that left and right

985
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 3: from Pittsburgh media that they had come to lunch a

986
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 3: little late because they were doing official meetings of These

987
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 3: are some of the things we're changing. These are our emphasis.

988
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 3: But I do think that there's a lot of on

989
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 3: the field stuff here. You know, would you call that

990
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 3: or not? You know that type of thing. We got

991
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 3: one on ones to the left here.

992
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 2: We do have one on ones that left a nice

993
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: one handed snag there by Rock Taylor, the rookie U

994
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: d f A out of Memphis. But yeah, that's I

995
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 2: think that's a It makes a ton of sense. Why not,

996
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 2: you know, because in game the referees don't have time

997
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 2: to explain that stuff.

998
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 3: Too, and they're not gonna be your buddy, and they're

999
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 3: not gonna be there gonna be your buddy.

1000
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:41,720
Speaker 4: HRes.

1001
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, in this situation, you know, it's it's kind of

1002
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 2: like a h it's kind of like an open study hall,

1003
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like.

1004
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 4: Office office hours, you know exactly.

1005
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 2: That's a great way put type thing when you could

1006
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 2: go in and hey, teacher, I'm kind of struggling with

1007
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: this subject material.

1008
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: I've been using this hand placement. Am I cheating or not?

1009
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 3: You're cheating, but you make get away with.

1010
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 2: It nice nice rep between rowan Wilson and Beanie Bishop

1011
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: there just a minute ago, Robert Woods and Juan Pierre

1012
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 2: there as well.

1013
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 3: As UH one wide receivers corner stuff here and.

1014
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 2: Tight ends versus linebackers, and so it's kind of going

1015
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 2: on on both sides of the field. But yeah, this

1016
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 2: is I do always enjoy these type of these type

1017
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: of drills as well too, as one intended for the

1018
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 2: end zone broken up nicely and almost intercepted there by

1019
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 2: de Shawn Jamison, second year man out.

1020
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,439
Speaker 3: Of getting more more rep than they know, more action

1021
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 3: than they would.

1022
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 4: Good rep there by Caleb Johnson.

1023
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good to see as well.

1024
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 2: Looks like Scotty Miller is going to go up against

1025
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 2: somebody here. I'm trying to see who that is, not

1026
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 2: entirely sure a good rep there by Scotty Miller certainly

1027
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 2: as smooth is going on the far side against one

1028
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 2: thorn Hill.

1029
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 3: Looking like he's a big time guy here.

1030
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 4: He is.

1031
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: He is making the most of, like you said, a

1032
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 2: drill that if he favors, If you are a plus

1033
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: tight end in the NFL, this should be your.

1034
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 4: Your bread and butter.

1035
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 3: Yep. And he's showing it chronic.

1036
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: Against Beanie Bishop here's a little size matchup. Chronic shoves

1037
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 2: him off there a little bit. I think that was

1038
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 2: that this physicality there, official standing.

1039
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 3: Showing your numbers and put it right on you be big,

1040
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 3: you know. Yep. Absolutely as Mark Robinson, nice job, Robinson

1041
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 3: hanging with Jayleen Warrens.

1042
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's another one. I like what we've seen

1043
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 2: from him so far. Robins Mark Robinson.

1044
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely, he's gonna make him so hard to cut. I

1045
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 3: think that's a very good way to put it back

1046
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 3: at the ends, almost hauled in there by Lance McCutcheon

1047
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 3: out of Montana State.

1048
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 4: Looks like near side here New Cordero Patterson.

1049
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing.

1050
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: That's the thing that always throws me off the most

1051
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 2: for a while, when is when somebody gets cut and

1052
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: then somebody else immediately takes their number. You know, it's

1053
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 2: not like them, right, Max Harlman near side going up

1054
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 2: against Brandon Eckles.

1055
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 3: There, feisty little feisty battle there.

1056
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 2: Feisty little route and little battle there as one Pierre

1057
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 2: one Pierre James Pierre. Yeah, Yeah, it's it's Kinger did

1058
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 2: that to me earlier in the week, and now I

1059
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 2: can't get it out of my mind, James Pierre.

1060
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 3: Here, when you do that, I assume it's just some wu.

1061
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 4: Guiyeh, nice interception by James. Don't call him one.

1062
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, broken the ball, well hold it in, nice job.

1063
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 4: I always assume it's some WV guys.

1064
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes that is definitely fair, but or it's

1065
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 2: Rob King and all his dang baseball references.

1066
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 4: That guy. I tell you, let's see any last ones

1067
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 4: that we can bring you.

1068
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: Here.

1069
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 2: Looks like we're gonna have a Connor Hayward on the

1070
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 2: near side against Sebastian Castro, Roum and Wilson over here.

1071
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 4: That one look underthrown but still ends up in his hands.

1072
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guy got lucky there. Seven team played it

1073
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 3: well but ended up in Roman's hands.

1074
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: And a really nice route by Connor Hayward against the

1075
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 2: rookie Sebastian Castro here on the right side, while imagine,

1076
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 2: yeah and both you are the wide receivers make a

1077
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 2: nice catch. All the wide receivers go crazy and give

1078
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 2: them props. You know, James Pierre intercepted that one, and

1079
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 2: all his defensive back brethren, you know, losing their minds

1080
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 2: on the sideline.

1081
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 3: So it is.

1082
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 2: It's fun it's high energy. It's a little bit of

1083
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 2: skills competition stuff, but it is it is. It's important

1084
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 2: as well too.

1085
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, these guys are really scrutinize this tape. And boy,

1086
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 3: you're you're leaning this way, you're giving your trigger in

1087
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 3: your route. I mean, there's a lot of things to

1088
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 3: take away from.

1089
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 2: This Trey sermon with a good rep there against Devin Harper,

1090
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 2: but the near side referee throwing a flag on that one. Yeah,

1091
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 2: And that's another thing you'll see out here. If it's

1092
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: the middle of a drill and they see something that

1093
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:55,840
