1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,279 Speaker 1: Dal ali Is, Matt Williamson and Miss Drive on Steelers 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: Nation Radio and ESPN nine to seventy. We're bringing our live, 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: ongoing coverage here from Steeler's training camp on the campus 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: and of Saint Bensing College and getting ready here for 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: the final period. And I believe that's going to be 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: a red zone today, man. 7 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: Okay, So I say the big guys broke up and 8 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 2: they're kind of strolling around getting a little water, and 9 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: the skeleton drilling down here in the red zone is 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 2: still going on. 11 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they still have another player two to 12 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: do in that. So once that ends here, we'll get 13 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: to the red zone. It looks like they're going in. 14 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: From the display was really good defense. 15 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, it's plastering guys. 16 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: I thought Rudolph who's in there now, initially had Greg 17 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: Bill out of the backfield if he wanted to take 18 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: that one for a game. They may, I don't know. 19 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: It's third down here, so that's why he's holding onto 20 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: the ball in that situation to score kind of third 21 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: and goal here, and you're trying to get into the 22 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: end zones. You're not just going to try to dump 23 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: it off short. So he held the ball and looked 24 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: for somebody else to open up, and it just didn't happen. 25 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 2: No defense plaster guys down pretty well. 26 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: Let's see if he tries to go maybe go to 27 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: Darnell Washington. In this situation like this, We're just let 28 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: him go be big. This time he does go to 29 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: the back out of the backfield and end up short. 30 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: He does end up short. There is uh, look like 31 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: Tanner muse coming over to make the stock the goal line. 32 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: He was the one who got run over by the 33 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: way by Kendrick Green. Oh really okay on the play there, gotcha? 34 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: So that won't go over well in the meeting room, 35 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: the defensive meeting room later tonight. 36 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: They will take notice. 37 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: Yeah you got now that being said, that's a three 38 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: hundred pounder. 39 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: It's a bit of a mismatch. Yeah, different weight classes. 40 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: Different weight classes, but you still gotta find a way 41 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: to get that guy in the ground. 42 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: Sure, or at least hold your own, you know, right 43 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: under the block and you know, hold your own. Yeah, 44 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: getting plastered isn't all right. So what we got going here? 45 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: Because those situations always looks like they're starting into twenty 46 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: three going in first team offense against the first team 47 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: defensive corners. Kind of a high red zone drill here, 48 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson and Levi Wallace out there on the corners. 49 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: You got Washington a tight end. Yeah, yet's see if 50 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 2: wonder friar move was done after maybe yeah, maybe he's 51 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 2: still here in the sideline. 52 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: He's got his helmet on. But what came clean? I 53 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: mean that he beat up on Chocks pretty good, and 54 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: that will happen. Chokes a little slow to get up 55 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: after that one. 56 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 2: Looks like maybe it was kind of a three car 57 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: pile up in the right around the quarterback. 58 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh he did. Penny Pickett finally did get 59 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: the ball out of his hands. 60 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: And fine, I think he just mad at himself for 61 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: getting beat That's gonna happen with that guy. 62 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: No help, right, there was no help. That's what you know. 63 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: That's what people need to understand about this. You know. Oh, yeah, boy, 64 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: Chus has his hands full with t J. 65 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: Watt. 66 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: Well who doesn't, right, Yeah, that's that's that's the beauty 67 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: of a t J. Watt. You're not getting any help 68 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: on these situations. You're just locking that guy one on one. 69 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: So now Kenny's out there with gentry White Pickens Robinson 70 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: and nausey, so. 71 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: Nause to his left. He motions him out a little 72 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: crab motion there, who gets it out to him? If 73 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: that was a catch, it was not. 74 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Roberts came clean, as clean as a blitzer to. 75 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin out there immediately going, no catching, no no catch. 76 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, the defense winning this period thus far. They're 77 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: going to move the ball up now to the twelve, 78 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: and let's see what what the offense can come up 79 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: with here in this situation. Hayward and Watt and those 80 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: guys roll out there. Yeah, the offense doesn't have quite 81 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: all of its tools tool chest right now. But you 82 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: got Pickens there. No Deontay in this. I haven't seen 83 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: Deonta in a while. Anything behind that or friar move. 84 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm just looking around here to see if I see Deontay. 85 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was peaking too, and I haven't. I haven't 86 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: found him yet. Yeah, let's see here. 87 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: Oh damn Moore held up pretty well there. Oh go 88 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: get it, George. That is a touch down. George Pickens 89 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: going up the official ruling touchdown. It s looked like 90 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: pickten's going up over top of Levi Wallace there again. 91 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: Not bad coverage. 92 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: But no, it wasn't. 93 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: Pickett just threw the ball up where only the. 94 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: Celebrating with them. 95 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: No, we're only George Picketts can get that. Those are 96 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: the kind of field passes that you get maybe a 97 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: year two between those two. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe 98 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: Pickett doesn't throw that ball in year one because he's 99 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: not so quite so sure. I mean, the only guy 100 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: who was coming down with that was George Pickens right. 101 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 2: Right, put in a spot where either he gets it 102 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: or nobody does, and he's often going to get it. 103 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: Right in the back of the end zone. That back line. 104 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: Now we're in. Now we're inside the ten here about 105 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: the seven yard line. Let's see what they have and 106 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: Stas go out there. Yeah, he's under center. Connor Hayward 107 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: goes in motion. Is a pitch to the left, Naujia 108 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: Harris going, what about about a two or three yard 109 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: game there? 110 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. They motioned Gentry right the left and the motion Hayward 111 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: right the left. 112 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: Then they ran left. Looks like we're getting the second 113 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: unit ready to go. That'll be it for the first two. 114 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: I think they're backing it up again though. 115 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, going back the twenty three again, I was Green 116 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: in its center. Yep, got Austin out there. We got 117 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: Washington gunner. We'll see if when they go to the 118 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: third team here, if they use Green as a yeah, 119 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: fullback once they get down to about the seven again, 120 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: then try something. I thought they might throw them out 121 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: there with the first team in that regard to but 122 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: still just kind of repping that right, Yeah, I mean, 123 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: you gotta work your way up the up the depth chart. 124 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: There's only so much time. 125 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: Okay, we got warned to the left of quarterback Mitched Trubisky, 126 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: who motions that starting on Washington from left to right, 127 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: gives a little shoulder fake and then tries the that's. 128 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 2: Good protection deep ball. 129 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: To Cody White. You saw pump fake there, from a 130 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: little bit of a pump fake. I wonder if that 131 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: froze the corner back in that situation. 132 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: I think it certainly did the safety. Yeah, nicely throwing 133 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: ball to Yeah, that was so well protect. 134 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: That was Trenton Thompson over there, and that was just 135 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: easy money. 136 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of a fade route into the corner. 137 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 2: And yeah, Byke does something every practice he does here. 138 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm much lobbying him for make the team or anything, 139 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: but I'm a fan. The ball now moves up to 140 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: the eighteen yard line, and uh, you got Joey Porter 141 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: Junior down here on the left side of the formation, 142 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: James Pierre out there on the right, Porter will get white. Yeah, 143 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: Connor in the slot looks like Austin up there on 144 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: top against Yeah, Joey Porter Jr. Let's see what this 145 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: looks like here that by louder Milk and our guy 146 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: eighty seven can't roll in there. Rodney Williams against Alexander 147 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: and quant Alexander he got one hand up on the 148 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: ball and got it on the ball, but he couldn't 149 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: get a second hand up to get that. 150 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there was a lot of pressure on the quarterback, 151 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: but uh, you know he he's still The throw was 152 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 2: allowing him to be a big receiver. Yeah, you know, 153 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: I mean, Kwe's on the tallest guy. And where he 154 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 2: put the football was kind of what we were talking 155 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 2: about before in the Pickings touchdown. It's gonna be him 156 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: or nobody. Yep. 157 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: Moving out of the ball now up to the thirteen. 158 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: The offense breaks the huddle. Uh, Trubisky in the backfield 159 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: with Warren to his right. He motions Rodney Williams over 160 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: across the formation to his left. Kind of a tight 161 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: formation here. That's an inside hand off to Jaylen Warren 162 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: and that was it'd have been a nice little game. 163 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, he probably picked up three or four. 164 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: He's scooting through there. 165 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: Tagged early, but yeah, he's like a bowling by. 166 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that doesn't mean he tackle. 167 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: Him, but right I wouldn't want to tackle. It was 168 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: a pretty well blocked too. They pick up some initial 169 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: yards there. 170 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: Just do the blog. Okay, we got twenty five now 171 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: coming in the Hagens. So some different guys in there, 172 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 1: Washington in the formation, Guneral Chefski in there as well, 173 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: Miles Boykin. A lot of big bodied receivers in there right. 174 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, Boyk in Washington, those guys. Yeah, they got 175 00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: a lot of sides of the skill. 176 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: Des Fitzpatrick out there on the outside. Yeah, he's not small, 177 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: left is He's a six to one receiver. So let's 178 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: see what they have in mind here. They bring condensing, 179 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: you're a little going under center here, get some motion 180 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: by Boykin, they'll play action fake. Oh. I don't think 181 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: that was really intended that going to Gunner on that. 182 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: I think he was going the gunner on that. Hagen's 183 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: got his hands up and maybe they I wonder if 184 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: he wasn't. Yeah, I wonder if they ran the wrong route. 185 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: They were two of them rolled out to the left, 186 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: to the left and to the right. I'm sorry after 187 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: the play action fake that way and I. 188 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 2: Forget who I think it was washing somebody was in 189 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 2: the deep en zone too, Like you don't want three 190 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: layers that close to the that close. 191 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, when you're like seven yards out. 192 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,479 Speaker 2: I wonder if twenty five and something shouldn't. 193 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: When somebody should have was supposed to go back across 194 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: the formation. 195 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 2: They're backing it up here now Mason's got a shot. 196 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: Yeah with you see if we see Kendrick Green anywhere 197 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: in the formation this time, I think he's at center. 198 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: He's at center. Okay, so that's they're not going to 199 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: do that here there now. I'm probably passing in these situations. 200 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: So when you get Anthony McFarland to his right, takes 201 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: a snap, a little fake and then gets it out 202 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: there to des fitzpatrick. 203 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 2: Quick, they would have got a couple of yards out 204 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 2: of that for sure. 205 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: Ye who is the blocker down there with him? Rodney 206 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: Thomas and boykoin. I think it was Boykin was coming off. 207 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: He's coming off the field now and Thomas special field. 208 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: So now Hayward coming in a lot of moving parts 209 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: on this McFarland comes off. 210 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I can see during the regular season being 211 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: more substitutions too, you know, to keep everyone a little fresher, 212 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 2: a lot more substitutions. 213 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: Ye, So they break the huddle here, looks like Hayward 214 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: is where did he go there? Oh, he's in the 215 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: bunch down here. He's the first guy in the bunch 216 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: to lead bunch. And now he gets some motion there, 217 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: screaming across. Now back at it, get the defense to 218 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: jump off sides. Yep, not what you want to do 219 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: there if you're Dylan Cook. No, not a great way 220 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: to stand out. No, he's at right tackle right now. 221 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: They're going to line this up and do this again, 222 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: same formation. So maybe they're just gonna rerun the same 223 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: play here. See if we get some motions here. Didn't 224 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: do the same motion. No, that's a organ bird. That 225 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: was an interception? Who got that there? That's thirty five defense? 226 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: Is that barkoop? That is Luke Barkoo again? 227 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 2: He showed up, say He's made plays almost every day 228 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 2: we've mentioned his name. Yeah, let's keep you in the 229 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: mix and see what you can do in the preseason. 230 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: Not a greatly thrown. Not a great ball there. It 231 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: was down at uh the receiver's knees. 232 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 1: You noticed who was running downfield with him. They're chasing him, 233 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: not big Spencer Anderson. That wasn't He didn't give up 234 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: on that play. Okay, so I'm warming up to Spencer 235 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: anders He ran about fifty yards down field there to Hey, 236 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: they get an interception, they're they're going with it. I'm 237 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: gonna try to go make a tackle. Yeah, so good 238 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: for him. Okay, lining up here under center this time, 239 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: we get thirty eight and have back Maudre Harper. I'm sorry, 240 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,359 Speaker 1: that's great Bell, Greg Bell in the backfield. 241 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 3: Whep. 242 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: They'll fumbled a little bit of the snap, but he 243 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: got picked it back up right away and Bell swallowed 244 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: up there by the left side of the defense on 245 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: the pitch. 246 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 2: Nice walk work by Hayward again, him and Gentry double 247 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: team the end and then Connor got up to the 248 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 2: second level and wiped out a linebacker. So just kind 249 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: of focused on him. I play. 250 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: Okay, he's coming off. Now he's coming off. Now, let's 251 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: see what we got here. McFarland five the back. Still 252 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: have a bird sixteen out there. He's diminutive, Yeah he's 253 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: but he's a speech he's got some return skills. Yeah, 254 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: there's a keen Butler. I haven't seen a lot of him. 255 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: Butler on the outside with Chisnut in the inside in 256 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: the slot, may fade the Butler. Twenty six. McFarlane goes 257 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: in motion, he goes. Now he's on the right of 258 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph And let's see here where they go with 259 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: the football. Looked like the left tackle. That's their guy. 260 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: Spencer Anderson get a little bit of a or at 261 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: least start of him as a tackle. But I'm glad 262 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: he can do it left tackle, right, right, right, right side, 263 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: he's at left. Yeah, he can just lined up everywhere. 264 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: But center so far very much. Yeah, and he's played 265 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: more center. I think I think he has a center background. 266 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: Maybe he's even played center and I just haven't noticed. Yeah, 267 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: that's a rap that's going to do practice. That's not 268 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: going to be one that Spencer Anderson wants to and 269 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: practice on. I'd say end on a false start. Come on, Yeah, 270 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: he don't want to do don't want to do that, 271 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: but that's going to do it. For practice here today, 272 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: it is a very long practice, four fifteen crowd stick 273 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: around if you're listening to. 274 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 2: I mean, there's some good stuff after practice, the families, 275 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: the workout off the field. I always tell you guys 276 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: that there's a good twenty minutes or so that's entertaining. 277 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 2: As a fan, I wouldn't just run out of here. 278 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't either.

On the way down here, I was. 284 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 2: I had a hard time getting through the traffic. 285 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: They had almost fourteen thousand last night at Latrobe Memorial Stadium. 286 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: That was a big crew. That was our record for 287 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: that that that show. So we hadn't gotten had an 288 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: opportunity to do that in the last couple of years. 289 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: And came out and drove.

Yeah, yeah, he looks like he's a little 300 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: fired out.

So nothing they're serious with Friarmuth, 338 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: who didn't take part in that last part of practice there, But. 339 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 2: There was a stretcher we were looking for Deontay too. 340 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: He looks like he's perfectly fine. 341 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: He's out there doing his normal post practice stuff as well, right, 342 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: And they just wanted to get some other guys some 343 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: looks in those situations, right. 344 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: I didn't notice any, but I don't think we had 345 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: anybody bof or any injury notes. But I guess we'll 346 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: figure that out after coach talks. 347 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: Ye waking his way over to the not the podium 348 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: because they don't have that, but they have a backscreen 349 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: here that they do the interview some over on the 350 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: other side of the field, So he's working his way 351 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: over to that now as we speak. No injuries of 352 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: note last night, either, right, No, No, good good. Yeah. 353 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: I did want to make note this is not an 354 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: injury situation, Matt. But this is interesting because it's a 355 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: team that the A that the Steelers play next week. 356 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: But it's also a guy who's been a star right 357 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: tackle in the NFL. Yeah, right, and now moving over 358 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: to the left side. And this this from Jenna Lane 359 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: on ESPN said Tampa Bay Buccaneers all pro Tristan Worf 360 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: said Friday that the move from right tackle to left 361 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: tackle this spring became such a source of debilitating anxiety 362 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: that he began seeing a team sports psychologist. Wow for help. 363 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: Wow. Interesting. I mean, very cool to him to admit it. 364 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 2: I mean ten years ago, nobody would admitted it. Fifty 365 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 2: years ago, nobody would admit it or gone. 366 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: It's a big deal. It really is. It's a big deal. 367 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 2: He's a might have been the best right tackle in 368 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 2: the league not named Lane Johnson, and you're moving them 369 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 2: Like I could see where that would cause anxiety. Like 370 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: I've had a. 371 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: Great young career, maybe even a star on that side. Yeah. 372 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm doing this really well and they want 373 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 2: me to reinvent myself. I mean that must be stressful. 374 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 2: I mean it's interesting to me. I don't know if 375 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 2: they'll regret that or not. I mean, I mean I 376 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 2: didn't love the idea, to be honest with you, like 377 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 2: why mess with it? But he's certainly physically capable. But 378 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: it's not like right tackles easy. 379 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: No, it's not. And and you know, I think people 380 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: sometimes look at that as well, it's not that. 381 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 2: Big of a deal. 382 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,719 Speaker 1: You're just switching. You're switching. You're doing everything of what 383 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: you've trained to do for a long time. It's like 384 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: hitting left the ear, you know. Yeah, I mean it's 385 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: absolutely a huge deal. 386 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 2: The way you stand, the way that you you know 387 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,959 Speaker 2: your dominant hand, you know, the way you punch, everything 388 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 2: about it's difficult. 389 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: The way you see the field, your eyes, you. 390 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 2: Know everything about it's difficult. 391 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting. That's I want to ask Max Starks 392 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: about that the next time we see it should probably 393 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: be tonight at some point, but yeah, probably. I wonder 394 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: if he's flipped it all over his career. He did 395 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: that a lot, actually, Oh he did. Yeah, yeah, I 396 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: think about it. He broke in as a as a 397 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: right tackle, then moved over to the left side. I 398 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: think he was more of a natural left tackle as 399 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: it was because he has left handed You mentioned the 400 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: night he's left handed, which I think is helpful too. Yeah, 401 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: I have no idea. Would you like your left tackle 402 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: to be left handed? I guess it's his dominant hand. 403 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: That's the outside, the hand that's going to direct redirect 404 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: the outside rush. 405 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: I mean, if you have to just pun, you know, 406 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 2: it's one straight out punch, you know, you get one 407 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 2: hand to do it. I guess it would rather be 408 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: on the outside than the inside because there's a guard there. 409 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: But I mean, I bet ninety percent of left tackles 410 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: are right handed. Yeah. 411 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: I wonder if that helped him. 412 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: Conversation with him in the next couple of days. 413 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean he had yeah, yeah, yeah, but 414 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: people you know, so in this camp, we've seen Dan 415 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:04,239 Speaker 1: Moore work on both sides, yes, and Anderson. Anderson has 416 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: worked both sides. 417 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 2: Today's the first time see him do left. 418 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, today was the first left work at left that 419 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: I've seen anyways, notice Jones only, but on the right 420 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: it's difficult to do. I can remember when when the 421 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: Steelers that the initial camp with Dan Moore, he was 422 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: working almost exclusively on the left side. Early in camp, 423 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: they wanted to get him some work on the right side, 424 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: but they couldn't keep Zach Banner healthy. He did it 425 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: for like a day or two. We were over at 426 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: the hind at Akrocher Stadium, and he got some work 427 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: on the right side, but then it was back to 428 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: the left side when they finally figured out that Banner 429 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: wasn't going to be able to go, and that that 430 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: turned that into you know, him staying on the right 431 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: side checks or staying on the left side, chooks a four, 432 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: a quarter four, staying on the right side. 433 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: He's done both too in his career. 434 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: In his career, he's much more comfortable on the right side. 435 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: That's why stay right. That's where he played in college 436 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: for the most part. I think maybe his final year 437 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: in college he might have slid over. 438 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 2: To the left side, but I think he did from 439 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: what I remember. 440 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: But primarily he broke in as a young guy on 441 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: the on the right side. And it's it's not the 442 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: easy transition that ever. You know, a lot of people 443 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: seem to think that it is. No, I don't think 444 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: it's easy at all. I mean I think it. I 445 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: bet Wurfs has a subpar season, but that still might 446 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: be better than most most you know, But I bet 447 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: it takes him a full season to be comfortable comfortable there. 448 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 2: I mean that just be my hunch. And he's a great, 449 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: great player, So I don't know. I don't I can 450 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: see Tampa regretting that, you know. 451 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it could be a season of transition. 452 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 2: Not you know, it could be that whole team probably, and. 453 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: It probably is. And that's why they're you know kind 454 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: of you know. 455 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 2: That maybe somebody they want to build around, and maybe 456 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 2: they want to go fishing for a right day. 457 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: He still was he's like twenty six. Yeah, he came 458 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: out twenty five. You know, he could play like he 459 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: could be your starting left tackle for the next decade. 460 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: Oh, but you gotta assume so yeah, yeah, and I'm 461 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 2: sure he'll be fine, But I could see the causing 462 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 2: anxiety though. 463 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. It's not the same as switching some 464 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: of these other positions that we see these other for example, 465 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: a guy like Kendrick Green. No, okay, just you're doing 466 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: you're using a lot of the same skill sets that 467 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: made you attractive to the Steelers to begin with. When 468 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: you're putting Kendrick Green at fullback. The only real new 469 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: part of this for him is probably the catching of 470 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: the ball. 471 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, well where you're lying too. I mean that kind 472 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 2: of stuff too, And you know, I think that's all 473 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: new for him. But at this point. It's kind of fun. 474 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: I'm sure, sure, do something new, but in terms of 475 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: blocking in space or on the run, he just has. 476 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 2: An easier path to do it. 477 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: Now. 478 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, he does, doesn't have to you know, step out 479 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 2: and pull or you know, try to get to the 480 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 2: second level past Aaron Donald or Chris Jones, you know, 481 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,479 Speaker 2: I mean he has to. They're getting him in space 482 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 2: before the play even starts, which is perfect for. 483 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: What he does. Yeah, I think it'd be a lot 484 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: of fun for him because he's kind of been a fan, 485 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: a whipping boy of the fans. He struggled, Yeah, right, 486 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: right right, he got thrown in there again, that was 487 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: a new position for him. Since that it was a 488 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: new position for him. 489 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 2: I think he played four games at Illinois, so yeah, 490 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 2: you know, that's totally new. And he wasn't great with 491 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 2: the snaps, you know, getting getting that hand. 492 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: Back up once team Once team's figured out that he 493 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: was slow to get that hand back up after snapping, 494 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna put a guy over his snaphand every time. 495 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 2: Sure, and I bet that takes a lot of time too, 496 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 2: I mean getting the snap so it's very delivered properly. 497 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: I don't think is all that difficult. A lot of 498 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 2: these guys can get that down in a couple of 499 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 2: weeks or whatever, but I think getting that snaphand up 500 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: is really challenging. 501 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so as well. And you know, when 502 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: you saw him, like last night when he caught that 503 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: that first pass, the offensive line just erupted. No, they 504 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: did today, the whole the whole sideline. He's a well 505 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: like guy on this team. Oh, I see him in 506 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: the two. Of course you probably talked to him more 507 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: than I have. But he's always smiling. I mean people, 508 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: he's always with people. You could tell that he has 509 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 1: a lot of friends on his team. Just half hour ago, 510 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: him McFarland were like flat out belly laughing. I don't 511 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: than andy what they were talking about, but you know 512 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: what I mean, probably had something to do with their 513 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 1: catching ability. Maybe maybe maybe maybe macfarland's worried about his job. Well, 514 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: if you're McFarlane, you'll mean you're like, Okay, you can 515 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: leave me through a hole anytime, but anytime I'm going 516 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: to get lost behind you. 517 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And there is a part of that. I mean, 518 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: sometimes those little backs are hard to see, especially with 519 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 2: all the Washington's and Greens out there. 520 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: You know, I just think it's it's interesting here. I'm 521 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: fascinated by what this offense might look like this year. 522 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: I think we've seen more I don't want to say 523 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: wide open receivers this year, but I think they're scheming 524 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: seamed open the I think they've been scheming guys open 525 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more in this camp than I've seen 526 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: him in some previous years. 527 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: I would agree with that, and I would even take 528 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 2: it a step further, especially in the red zone. Yeah, 529 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 2: you know, you know what I mean. And of course 530 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 2: it's different when you can blast the quarterback and let's 531 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 2: see it against Tampa, you know, let's see it against others. 532 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 2: But it's more so than the last year's practice, you know, 533 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 2: I may. 534 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: You know, even like seven shots last night. It was 535 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,239 Speaker 1: I can't remember if it's the first or second play. 536 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: They did some stuff there. Alan Robinson was high school 537 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,719 Speaker 1: wide open in the back corner of the end zine 538 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 1: and that was working against Patrick Peterson. 539 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: Pickens had won today to on this, I think it 540 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 2: was Pickens. Yeah, wide open, that was just schemed open. 541 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 2: I mean, if you just manipulated people. 542 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: That's great. 543 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: I mean that happens in the league, and it will 544 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 2: happen to all teams, so it will happen against the Steelers. 545 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 2: But we definitely need to see more of it. But 546 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 2: I've been encouraged and I think that some of that 547 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 2: pre snap eye candy motion, all the back stuff being 548 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 2: starting and empty and then coming in, it just gives 549 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 2: you more. All you want to do is put these 550 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: defenders in conflict. Yeah, make them a pulse. And I'm 551 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 2: not even a whole second, not one one thousand one, Mississippi. 552 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,239 Speaker 2: I mean a pulse is an eternity as if you're 553 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 2: a linebacker or a coverage player. I mean half a 554 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 2: step behind, is you know, a big deal? 555 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: A couple of notes I've just seen here. 556 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 2: Nause you had that drop earlier, he had somebody whipping 557 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: a ball at him in close range. 558 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: We had TJ. Watt doing a. 559 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 2: Pass rush seminar over there. Looks like he still is 560 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 2: talking about his hands usage. You can tell these guys 561 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 2: are intently watching them, and I think this is Deontay 562 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: Johnson and I don't know who else doing the tennis 563 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 2: ball trick here. It's kind of hard to tell doing 564 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 2: it on one. 565 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: Foot Karate kids style, Yeah, karate kids style they're like 566 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: they're kind of juggling them back and forth where you've 567 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: got to catch two on one foot. Interesting. I mean, 568 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what the logic is behind that. I 569 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: can't tell who it was. I mean, it's just you 570 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta focus on your balance as well. Yeah. Yeah, 571 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: and now you've hadded you know, something else that your 572 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: mind has to be concerned with here, So you're trying to, 573 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: you know, distract yourself a little bit here. 574 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: And you gotta think you make a lot of catches 575 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 2: as a wide receiver when both not all your cleats 576 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 2: are in the ground. 577 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. I can't tell who that is. 578 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 3: Is that Calvin Austin. 579 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: Maybe I thought it was Deontay. I might even be 580 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: wrong about that, but I mean it is the I 581 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: think the one receiver is Deontay. 582 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 2: He's big with the tennis ball drills in general. 583 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: Maybe that's why. Yeah. Now TJ. Watt breaking off to 584 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: go sign some autographs. So he's got a crowd. He's 585 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: got a big crowd around him, and boy, the crowd 586 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: still packed around the the whole way around the field. 587 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: If you just counted the people on the fence, the 588 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: whole way around the field, here. 589 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is Wallace down here getting mobbed 590 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 2: or somebody else. There's so many people it's hard to 591 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 2: see who the players are. But there's two guys signing 592 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 2: right in front of us, the big fellow over there signing. 593 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. So if you haven't gotten out here to training 594 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: camp yet, you're running out a day. Yeah, you're really so. 595 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: It happens quick, it really does. And uh, you know 596 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: you want you got some autographs you want to get said, 597 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: you may not get the guy that you necessarily want 598 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: to get here. Sure, but there's a lot of guys 599 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: out here signing and they're very generous with their time 600 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: with that stuff. Absolutely, I see you do enjoy this. 601 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: Let's Dan Moore down there signing for some people.

I do see Mitch 607 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: Trubisky going up the hill over there right now signing 608 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: some stuff. But if you want to get more of 609 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: the veteran guys, stay down here by the softball field. 610 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: A lot of the veteran guys go off that backside 611 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: on carts. Now, they'll go over there and sign for 612 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: a while. You know, we've seen Pattis. I'm just doling 613 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: out stuff here that i've seen. You know from this stuff. 614 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you do get a lot 615 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: you get more going up the hillside over there. But 616 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: if you want to get the stars and guys of that, 617 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: or you know, some of the more frontline players or 618 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: more veteran players, that's where to go. Although Landon Roberts 619 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: is walking up that hill right now, so you may 620 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: be able to get him. 621 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 2: So there's a youngster here to our left that has 622 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 2: looks like a brand new Pickens jersey. Yes, and he's 623 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 2: wanting to Pickings autograph more than anything in the world. 624 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 2: But that's one out of you know what I mean, 625 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 2: that's a tough goal. I hope he doesn't go home 626 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: sad about it, because even if George comes over, I'm 627 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 2: sure he would sign the jersey, but chances of him 628 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 2: coming over, you know, shooting for one dude is an. 629 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: Autograph seeker is brutal. Yeah, it really is not the 630 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: best strategy. No, no, you see, I mean just the 631 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: kids out here are just crazy about this. You know, 632 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: we were over at Latrobe Memorial Stadium last night and 633 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: you know they're again surrounding the field. Kids are yelling 634 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: at these guys while they're practicing. Oh yeah, I love 635 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,719 Speaker 1: you right to that kind of stuff. Look over here, 636 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: like they're working right now. They are working, right, I mean, 637 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: they're trying to get a practice in here as well. 638 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: But so you know, if them or dad that's an accountant, 639 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: do they sally? You know, so if you don't, if 640 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: they don't look your way or wave or whatever, don't 641 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: get this, you know, appointed or anything like that. They are. 642 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: They are working here. But this situation just lends itself 643 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: to oh absolutely, you know this kind of you know, 644 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: the the autograph seekers, and I mean even when they're 645 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: working to practice, people will yell for them. Yeah. 646 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 2: I mean if they're over they're catching tennis balls, they're 647 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 2: not doing fan stuff. 648 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: They are not doing the fan stuff. Good to see 649 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: if make I Fitzpatrick out there. Yeah, even though he 650 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: didn't do a ton, I didn't see a lot of 651 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: snaps from him. But I wonder if he has to 652 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: do a little heat acclamation first before he Probably he 653 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: did some drill work today and things of that nature 654 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: and then he went did go down and watch backs 655 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: on backers. Yeah, uh, didn't partake it. A participants try 656 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: to have him back. I hope everything's well in his life. Yeah, absolutely, 657 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: Casey as well. So, I mean, those are two guys 658 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: that this defense is going to need open. 659 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 2: Some opportunities for others. 660 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: Though. 661 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: So I saw Neil in the third level more than 662 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 2: I would have expected, you know, or more they probably 663 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 2: drew up when they signed him. 664 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: One of the guys who is getting more of an 665 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: opportunity is Kenny Robinson.

He funny thing when I first got 840 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,959 Speaker 4: him for OTAs, he was like he said it to me, like, hey, Kenny, 841 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 4: I got this funny picture of you. And it was 842 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 4: in like tenth grade at my house and it was funny. 843 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 4: So it was It's cool being around coach Tomas. You know, 844 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,399 Speaker 4: he's a good dude, real genuine person and you though 845 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 4: you can't can't do nothing, took play hards for him, 846 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 4: something like that. 847 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 3: The room for two Kenny's on this team? 848 00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, Kenny, he could beat a store man. 849 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 3: Than I appreciate. 850 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: That was Kenny Robinson, the Steelers says that was enjoyable 851 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: safety here. I asked him there at the end, if 852 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: if there's room for two Kenny's on this team, absolutely 853 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: he's got a shot. I mean he's not. 854 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 2: Three Dames will be pivotal for him. I would as mentioned, 855 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 2: I think he absolutely has to gain the trust of 856 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 2: you know, special as a special teamer for sure. But 857 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 2: in terms of the defense, he's going to be on 858 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 2: the field a lot. I mean, wouldn't you think he 859 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 2: plays more snaps than any safety in the preseason. 860 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 3: You'll play a. 861 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: Lot, yeah, right, right, And I'm sure you know they're 862 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: going to take a look at some of those guys. 863 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: But yeah, the the young guys especially, I think that's 864 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,920 Speaker 1: why they're repping him so much. They know, you know 865 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: what some of the other guys are at this point, 866 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: and and you know, do you think kill Brew at 867 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: this point knows the defense? You know, him getting a 868 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 1: bunch of additional reps out there with the with the 869 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: ones or you know, is not going to do him 870 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: any good. Do him good, sure a little bit, but 871 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: let's you don't learn as much, but you're not going 872 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: to discover guys right like a Kenny Robinson. 873 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I know Kazy and Minka are back, 874 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 2: but I hadn't thought of the Killer Brew angle. The 875 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,280 Speaker 2: guys that are pretty much guaranteed to make the team 876 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 2: other than Neil might not play much at all in 877 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 2: the preseason at that spot. 878 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 1: I mean, do you think Kaz plays this week? I'm 879 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: sure Minca won't. I don't think does. I'd be surprised, 880 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 1: you know if they play either one of those guys 881 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: in the lumpener. You saved that for game too, So yeah, 882 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: a guy like Kenny Robinson, Trey Norwood, those guys are 883 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of run in this first game. 884 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,919 Speaker 2: I would think seventy five percent of snap something along 885 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 2: those lines. And you're right, I mean you mentioned in 886 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 2: the interview he's got in his hands on the football 887 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 2: A couple of times here in La Trobe, and I 888 00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 2: hadn't realized him and coach Tomlin knew each other from 889 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 2: before this. But I'm not surprised. 890 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised at all. Mike Tomlin seems to know, 891 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: you know, as he said earlier in camp, we were 892 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: having a conversation. He said, look, I know all the 893 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 1: young dudes, you know, the young football players, young athletes 894 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 1: in the city, because you know, he has sons that 895 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 1: are around that age. Yeah. 896 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 2: I didn't realize Kenny had played with his sons too, 897 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, seven on seven stuff and all that. Yeah, 898 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he's a picture of him. 899 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: In his house. Yeah, he has a picture of young 900 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: Kenny Robinson in his house. So that's how you kind 901 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 1: of get to know about He knows all about those 902 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: kind of guys. You know. Man, I'm sure he's interested. 903 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: But also, does it mean you're going to make the team? No? 904 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 2: Right, and he's not going to get any benefits, That's 905 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 2: what I was gonna say, you know, and who knows 906 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 2: if Robinson doesn't make this team, will he get another shot. 907 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 1: Who's to say, Yeah, he was a fifth round pick. Again, 908 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: a guy that's drafted from the XFL. Yeah, drafted out 909 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: of the XFL if the first player drafted out of 910 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: the XFL. So, I mean there is some talent there. No, 911 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: there's definitely talent there. Right. 912 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,760 Speaker 2: He just needs to put it all together and stay 913 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 2: on the straight and arrow and focus on football and 914 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 2: be mature kid and you know, show these guys that 915 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:53,240 Speaker 2: he can be trusted. 916 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. The thing has struck me about him when I 917 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: was talking to him, is he's big. I say, he's 918 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: curious why he's listed. They listen as two hundred pounds. Again, 919 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm a shade under six to one, and I was 920 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 1: he looked like he was bigger than six two. Really, Yeah, 921 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 1: I mean maybe I've shrunk over the years. I don't 922 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 1: feel but a midge. But you're around a lot of 923 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: six two dudes, you know. Interviewing them, he hays have 924 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,240 Speaker 1: a good body for it too. Ye, it's good length. 925 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 2: You know, he's I wouldn't say, you know, you mentioned 926 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 2: you're free or a strong body type wise, he's kind 927 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 2: of both. And he said, yeah, right right. 928 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: Because of that length, you can play some free that 929 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: gives you a little extra you know what. I've seen him. 930 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: He's not afraid to throw his body around either. No, 931 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: and he's got some attitude out there. 932 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 2: He's yeah, yeah, he's enthusiastic and does have an edge 933 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 2: to him. 934 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, he definitely plays with an edge. So he's a 935 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: guy with a chance, and we'll see how that what 936 00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: he makes makes a chance. Here Smith in his corner, 937 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: gonna have to get Danny That's where I was going. 938 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 1: But you have to be able to play special teams. 939 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be one of the starting safeties right 940 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: once they get to you know, on once they get 941 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,439 Speaker 1: the other guy's back. So now you've got to show 942 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,320 Speaker 1: that you have some kind of value to Danny Smith. 943 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 2: And can you convince this team to keep five or 944 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 2: you know, I mean there's roster cuts on can Besy 945 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 2: this year. 946 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: Well, that's what's so interesting about the guys being able 947 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: to play multiple positions do multiple things. 948 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,399 Speaker 2: Right with Hayward earlier and right, even green and right. 949 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: So that's gonna be an interesting part to watch here 950 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: when we get into the games. How much of that 951 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: stuff did they do with some of these guys once 952 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: they get into the game situations? Yeah, do we see it? 953 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: For example, Nate Herbig it's center. Maybe maybe you know 954 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: there were times last week where they were repping. At 955 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: least they've done it in some drills repping Nick her 956 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: big inside packer. 957 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 2: Oh okayah, I have. 958 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 1: It's noticed that in any. 959 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, right, yeah, I mean he could come off 960 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 2: the edge, and certainly Anderson, the draft pick, I mean 961 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 2: play all over the line. I mean that's I would 962 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 2: think in preseason games a guy like Anderson should play 963 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 2: numerous spots. I mean, I don't know if like Dan 964 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 2: Moore will play right tackle in preseason right, say, no, 965 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 2: probably he might, he might might. 966 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you just take a look at it. But 967 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 1: uh yeah, that position flexibility is huge, and boy, they've 968 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: got a lot of it on this team right now. 969 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 1: You know. That's that's one of the things that Omar 970 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: Kahn talked about at his initial press conference that that 971 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 1: was something that was very attractive to them this offseason, 972 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 1: and it's both our bigs have it and something you 973 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,480 Speaker 1: can see out here at training camp practices. 974 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and again, if you are building or what looks 975 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 2: like a very deep roster, it's cuts are going to 976 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 2: be harder than most years. And therefore, if I can 977 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,360 Speaker 2: have guys that can do more than one thing, that 978 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 2: really helps. 979 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely really he is Matt Williamson. I am Dale. Lolley, 980 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 1: you're listening to the Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio 981 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,800 Speaker 1: and ESPN nine seventy.
