I mean, he's been a 16 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,319 Speaker 1: little bit of buzz about Kendrick Green to fullback where 17 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: they lined him up at tight end put him in motion. 18 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: It's been a well whirlwind here to say the least, 19 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: starting with seven show, well actually starting with my way 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: out here.

Just you know, 22 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: with a million people in between. Press box is packed. 23 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: Places on fire right now, and this is a really 24 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: good environment. I hope there's no fires. Wow now and 25 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: then seven shots was a blast and then backs on backers. 26 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: I mean it's been constant action here. 27 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: It has now Mitch Trubisky in there, he steps up 28 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 2: under center again, another big tight package here. We do 29 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: have trips to one side. George Pickens goes in motion, 30 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 2: take a corner with him, a little play actioner fake handoff, 31 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: and then that opens Pickings right up. I mean that's yeah, yeah. 32 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: It's very open. 33 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: James Pierre with the with the tackle there after the catch. 34 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 2: But yeah, and that's what play action can do to 35 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 2: you oud of some of those bigger packages, like. 36 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: No doubt, no doubt. I mean it's sure looks like 37 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: run when you break the huddle with all the beef 38 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: that's on the field. And oh, by the way, Pickings 39 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: is a pretty good blocker too, pretty good. 40 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely Now was Zach Gentry checks out in, Darnell 41 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: Washington checks in at tight end. It looks like we 42 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: had the second team line out there. Broderick Jones at 43 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: left tackle. Is that Dan Moore on the right side, 44 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: are they still? 45 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: It is not so? 46 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 2: Now Anthony McFarland in the backfield, he takes the hand 47 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: off and all just stuff thereby Big Kean O'Neill. 48 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: In the backfield, immediately just immediately stuff. Yeah, put him 49 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: right on the ground too. There was no mistake what 50 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: happened there. 51 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 2: I'm constantly asked, you know which of the rookies are 52 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 2: standing out to you. 53 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't pick just one. I can't pick 54 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: just one. But Benton is more than doing his share, 55 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, for that cause he's a handful in there. 56 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: He is a handful. 57 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: I'm gonna try this again here again under center with 58 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 2: McFarland in the backfield, another hand off to him and 59 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: this time no chance there on that one. 60 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: Is that twenty six in the backfield? Yes, sir, Yes, sir, yep. 61 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: Ouder Milk was going to make the play if he didn't. Yeah, 62 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 1: Alexander blowing things up? Yeah, kwant Alexander. Kwant Alexander's tart 63 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: and stand out a little bit. Dude. He is a dude. 64 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at his career history. There's some 65 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: inconsistencies there, but his highs are high. And since he's 66 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: been a Steeler. You see the highs. I mean he 67 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: shows up. He shows up every single time. Again, the 68 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: health has been the biggest issues. If they can keep 69 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: him healthy. Uh, that might be a steal there late 70 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: in the process. Absolutely, Again we get Kendrick Green lined 71 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: up as a outside tight end, the wing on the outside. 72 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: Now he's like a slot. Yeah, run around now in motion? Boom? 73 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: Who was that? Poor soul? I don't know who he hit. 74 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: I think it was a it was somebody was not 75 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: a defensive lineman. It was a off the ball backer 76 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: or corner. WHOA do you want to describe what just 77 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: happened there? I mean he's started out sat We've seen 78 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: this motion from Connor Hayward a lot even gunner, but 79 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: not a three hundred pounder across the motion, across the 80 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: formation at the snap of the football, and he's got 81 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: ahead of steam and he just turned it upfield and 82 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: just massacred the outside LINEA yeah, just just killed him. 83 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: I want to say, if it's still the same there, 84 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: that is. 85 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: Poor number forty five and he took he took on 86 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 2: Kendrick Green a lot last night. 87 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: That's Toby and Duke with I thought that it was 88 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: forty five, Toby got. 89 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: The hit maybe rolled up twice last night by Kendrick Green, 90 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: and that was not pretty. Might not have been because 91 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: now they switched, they have the third team offense out there. 92 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: This Kendrick Green package might be something that's more than 93 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: just a fad. I mean, I guess he was. He 94 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: destroyed Rochet last night from a full back position. I 95 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: mean he can run. I mean, you get it was 96 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: so attractive about him. 97 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 2: You know it, don't you know when you when you 98 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 2: watched him the tape of Illinois, him getting to the 99 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: second level and just blowing guys up. His ability to 100 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: find guys on the run like that, You just don't 101 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: onlys see that with offensive. 102 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: Linemen, no doubt, and even like some of the plays 103 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: where he springs back and and then he runs with 104 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: them at Illinois thirty yards downfield, you know, look over 105 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: more So he is athletic. Don't don't write his story yet. 106 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: He has not had a bad camp at all. He 107 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: is not. 108 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: He gets some a little shovel pass there to Gunner 109 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: ol Chefsky who came. 110 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: Across it, picks up five ish or so. Yeah, that's 111 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: a nice game. Yeah, actually some new stuff. Yeah, yeah, 112 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: it's more like eight. You're right, some good blocking on 113 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: the edge here. Eighty seven was out there. Gunner did 114 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: some good stuff at the ball too. They timed that perfectly. 115 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: Rodney Williams isn't bad, No, No, he absolutely isn't. I mean, 116 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: I would assume that they'll keep four tight ends if 117 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: you count Hayward, which I think you know, Yeah, he 118 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: does that plus, but Williams certainly could make, you know, 119 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: a tight end away from making the team off the 120 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: practice squad or something like that. Right, A bad blocker, No, 121 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: he's not the biggest guy, but no efforts. 122 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: Great, a little lake coming off the ball in that one, 123 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: but got out there. 124 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, he sealed the edge of it pretty well though. 125 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 2: Did a nice job there, and they get about a 126 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: four yard game on that run. 127 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: There it comes Kendrick Green. I wonder if he's in 128 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,039 Speaker 1: line up at center or is he gonna. 129 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: Be around He's coming on with Darnell Washington at the 130 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: same time. 131 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like that's a lot of human being. 132 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 2: That's about six hundred pounds of human beings. 133 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely see what they do with them this time. 134 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: Got Mason Rudolph, got everybody huddled up there. 135 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: I don't think he's playing center on the snap. I 136 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 1: don't believe so he is not. He is once again 137 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: on the way a little tentative where do I line up? 138 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: And they put him in motion go to the other 139 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: wing in kind of a slot situation. 140 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: The motion that way he comes. Oh, he did that 141 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 2: last night as well. That's a nice little game there. 142 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 2: He rolled off of the. 143 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: Front of the offense, is just flying off. 144 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 2: They're all happy now. I didn't see who the initial 145 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: hit there. Tried to tried to go low on him 146 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: and he kind of did a little spin. 147 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: He got a little after the hit, Yeah, a little 148 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: ballance and. 149 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: Hold off of it and gained another three yards after that. 150 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: That was awesome. We've seen that with Hayward. We've seen 151 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: that with Gunner last night as well. 152 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 2: He didn't gain quite as much, but once again he 153 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 2: ran over in Duke way in that situation. 154 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: And he's a load. He's a load, I mean load 155 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: of the ground. I mean it's fun, don't get me wrong. 156 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: But it's not a terrible idea either. Like Hayward is 157 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: the pseudo fullback, but nobody can can simulate what Green's 158 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: doing here, you know, in terms of a downfield in 159 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 1: motion blocker, whether it's lined up as an old school 160 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: fullback or a wing or whatever. You and so I'm 161 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: intrigued getting a big body in motion to spring things. Yeah, 162 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: throw some new stuff out, why not? I mean yeah, absolutely, Yeah. 163 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: The offense just loves that they did stuff up. 164 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: Big guy catches are great. So we're finally gonna have 165 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: a period that's not super intense. I mean it's special teams. 166 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: Don't let Danny heroes say that. But you know, the 167 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: last half hours more than has been action packed as 168 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: good as stuff as you'll see in practice. Yeah, it's 169 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: it's uh good stuff. 170 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 2: That would be uh Danny Smith, who well he he 171 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: was a little busy last night. But Mike Tomlan is 172 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: back today, gotcha, and the Hall of Fame stuff. 173 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: Is going on. What we got Maka back, We got 174 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: Demante Kz back. 175 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: But I just wanted to ask you, Matt, what what 176 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 2: does that do to the defense when you see something? 177 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: Obviously you're gonna get a big package. You're a big 178 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: defense there, right, I mean even a goal line defense 179 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: when you see Darnell Washington and Kendrick Green coming right. 180 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: So one of my thoughts on that is because nausey. 181 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: But all the receive all the backs are such good receivers, 182 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: and Kenny is such a good runner. You could set 183 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: that up and just and throw out of it, you know, 184 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: I mean, detach Harris. If you're gonna run the ball, 185 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: let pick it be the runner. Let Kendrick Green pass protect. 186 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: I mean, put him out on routes. Isn't going to 187 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: be a regular occurrence, of course, but I mean it's 188 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: put it this way. The defense rarely plays a four 189 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: to four or a five three, you know, a three 190 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: defensive back setting, you know, I mean, that's unnatural for them. 191 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: Their alignments are a little bit different. Their gap responsibilities 192 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: are just rusty, you know, it's not his set for them. 193 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: And especially because the Steelers, a lot of these stuff 194 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: are making you challenge your gap responsibilities because they're putting 195 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: a guard in motion, you know, a center in motion. 196 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: So I'm all for it again. I'm actually in the 197 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: midst of the bones of an article this week about, Yeah, 198 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: the Steelers were really good in eleven and twenty two 199 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: last year, and they developed something. But let's see different 200 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: personnel groupings, you know, and the Kendrick Green one hadn't 201 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: dawned on me. But it makes a lot of sense. Yeah. 202 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 2: I talked to him last night after practice and he said, 203 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: you know, I had forgotten this. Actually that last year 204 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,119 Speaker 2: before they played the Ravens they used him to simulate 205 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: Patrick Ricard. 206 00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: Oh that acts all the sense of it. 207 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 2: Maybe ranted the grain there. You know, hey, we got 208 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: a three hundred pounder here. It moves pretty well too. 209 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: They're not that different. They really aren't. I mean they 210 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: really not. They really aren't. And that looked a lot 211 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: like Recards, a little more athletic, no doubt. I mean 212 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: catching passes and I mean that's what he could run, right, 213 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: he was a defensive tackle. I think it was a nose. Yeah, 214 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: those undersized nose that are built on quickness. And it's 215 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: not all. 216 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 2: That different than you know, say, when the Steelers moved 217 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: Roosevelt Nicks to full back when he got here, he 218 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: was a nose tackle in college. 219 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, in a great example, it's. 220 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 2: It's a similar skill set with what you're looking for 221 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: from a full back. 222 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: And the thing is, if you're a Knicks or Recard, 223 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: a five eleven, two hundred and sixty to two hundred 224 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: and eighty pound nose isn't getting a shot, you know, 225 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: So to reinvent yourself, you need to become an anvil 226 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, and somebody has 227 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: to give you the opportunity too, you know. But usually 228 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: those guys are great special teamers, make the get their 229 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: foot in the door that way, and then hey, a coach, 230 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: I can do this fullback thing. I'm trying to make 231 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: the conversion. Okay, you do, We'll give a shot. But 232 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: they rarely stick at the line at that size. 233 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, this was something that the coaching staff approached 234 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 2: Kenrick Green about, you know, so maybe they saw something 235 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 2: with that. They don't have a true fullback per se 236 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 2: on the roster sure, you know, after the retirement last 237 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 2: week of the one guy that they had. You do 238 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 2: still have Hayward there. It can do a lot of this. 239 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's not the fridge at the goal line, right, 240 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, not the hammer. You know. 241 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: So if you see a lot of d tackles doing 242 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: it since the fridge, I mean you've seen a lot 243 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: of because they're really good athletes. 244 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 2: Does this lead you to believe that they're looking for 245 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 2: ways that in which if Kendrick Green is going to 246 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 2: be the backup center. 247 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: Tells me there's a real good chance he's to be 248 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: the backup center for one that if. 249 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: You can do stuff like that with him, and you know, 250 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: the nice thing about it is for the Steelers. Okay, 251 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 2: so let's say Green is your is your second center. Yeah, 252 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 2: he's going to be. He's active on game day as 253 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 2: a center. Yes, But if you put him in a 254 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: package like that and something were to happen to him, 255 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 2: you've still got herbig who can play center? 256 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: Oh right, right, right right? You know Sam All who 257 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: can play center. 258 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: Daniels Daniel, Yeah, just in case if there's another injury there. 259 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: You're not shorting yourself as it's not like a situation 260 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: where in baseball where nobody wants to pinch hit their 261 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: backup catcher the game. Well, we can't use it as 262 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: a as a pinch hitter because he's the backup catcher 263 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:28,479 Speaker 2: and we don't have another. 264 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: One, No, another one. We can't just throw first basement 265 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: in pads or whatever. Right or right makes some sense. 266 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you would not have a Niners quarterback in 267 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: the NFC championship situation because there's enough dudes on the 268 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: roster that could bump inside. If something were to happen, you. 269 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 2: Have to move some more guys around if that happened, 270 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 2: I mean, Herbig is still going to be on the 271 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: bench presumably, just you know, if everybody stays healthy. So 272 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: that would be the easy movie. He's just okay, we're 273 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 2: going to go to Herbig. He's our third emergency center. 274 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, because he should be active as well, right right, right. 275 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: It's it's just a I mean, you usually keep saying 276 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: an raid active on game. They typically eight three, so 277 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: why not? 278 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: Why not? No one agree? So we all know Kendrick 279 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: Green hasn't had a stellar career since getting drafted, but 280 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: I think he's had a good camp. And frankly, you 281 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't be messing with these things if, man, I don't 282 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: think you think he was gonna make it. You wouldn't 283 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: even rep it. You wouldn't even rep it. Boy, this 284 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: guy's got no chance. He's a bus thinks. Get out 285 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: of here. You're not gonna fiddle with this stuff just 286 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: to make the crowd happy and get it, you know, 287 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: because it's fine. 288 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: You get us talking about oh right right, get everybody 289 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 2: all excited. And again you saw the Pittsburgh loves a 290 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 2: big guys catch him. 291 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, how fun is that? Right? And then 292 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure they did that on purpose. They get this 293 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: place electric too, you know, And I don't know, we'll 294 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: so pumped up the offense, there's no doubt about that. 295 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: I'm not sure Kendrick Green will catch your pass in 296 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Don't go drafting them in fantasy or anything. Yeah, 297 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: right right, that's not gonnappen. But even like you know 298 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: when they had you know, the tackle well as well 299 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: with with Zach Banner all that. You know, those times. 300 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 2: He was caught, he wanted to try to catch a pass. 301 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 2: They get a couple of times they did send him 302 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: out on pass patterns. We've seen those guys do. 303 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: That over the years. BJ Fitty running out on absolutely. 304 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 2: So, I mean there is a history of that kind 305 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 2: of stuff here. 306 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean before last season, I think it 307 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: was two or three years in a row, Steelers were 308 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: in top of the league in six offensive line set. 309 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 2: That's getting your sixth offensive linemen on the field much 310 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: different way, in. 311 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: A much different way. Again, I've been lobbying for whoever 312 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: loses the more Jones conversation to just be an extra 313 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: tight end in line hammer, you know, get those guys 314 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: on the field. 315 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 2: But if you're gonna do that kind of stuff with him, right, 316 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: put him in motion and do like. 317 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: Green's a perfect fit for that. 318 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 2: It's one thing to just line up with six offensive linemen. 319 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 2: They all get their hand in the dirt exactly. 320 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: This is different. This is way different, right, And frankly, 321 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean proderct Jones pools really well, but I don't 322 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: want a six six guy out there doing this stuff, right. 323 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: I mean, Green's a better change of direction athlete. He's lower, 324 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: you know, you give him a head of steam. He's 325 00:14:59,160 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: the perfect guy to. 326 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 2: Do when he turned the corner on that motion there. Again, 327 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 2: we've seen Hayward do that, and he's done a nice 328 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: job as a lead blocker on that. That's a different 329 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: level of lead blocker. Absolutely absolutely, And I like that play. 330 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: I did too. I think that's something we will see. 331 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: I like it quite a bit. And again I'm all 332 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: for getting Austin Washington, Hayward. You know, guys that aren't 333 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: the core five out there in any way possible, you know, 334 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: and Green adds to that mix. 335 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: How do you stop a play like that if you're 336 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,359 Speaker 2: a defense because we've seen him do it where okay, 337 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: the guy's on the wing and he just stays on 338 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: that wing and he takes off at But you've also 339 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: seen like on that play, he's on the he's on 340 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: the right side wing, goes in motion to the left 341 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: side and then comes screaming back across right and then 342 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 2: you know, blows. 343 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: It could go to either side depending so you can't 344 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: overload the one side. Did you say, oh, it's coming 345 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: up right right? And something Matt Canada was really known 346 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: for previous to a Steeler stint is unbalanced line. You know, 347 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: you see a lot of that stuff and it just 348 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: screws with people's heads a couple of plays a game 349 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: in terms of where do I align? Because I'm not 350 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: used to it, so it doesn't sound like much, but 351 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: you tell I talk to any player about alignment, Like 352 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: if Motes was in here talking about linebacker alignment. I 353 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: mean six inches left or right before the snap is massive, 354 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: massive on a blocking angle because things happen so quick. 355 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: Or you know, you shift over as a d alignment 356 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: with your hand on the ground, but you go too 357 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: far and all of a sudden the guard goes, oh thanks, 358 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to reach you much easier now 359 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: or whatever. So I'm curious that the Green play. I'm 360 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: not picking on the young man, but whoever fifty four 361 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: was in the doc way or the forty five forty five, 362 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: I got my numbers switched around, So I was wondering, 363 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: if that's TJ. He's gonna handle it better, of course, right, 364 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: but mighty slip Green as opposed to trying to take 365 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: it on, you know what I mean, you might try 366 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: to the big, big sucker come come right at you. 367 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: Maybe I dance around that block and have more success, 368 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: who knows, you know, I mean, I'm sure a young 369 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: man trying to make the team isn't going to take that, 370 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, that strategy. He's gonna take everything on, you know, 371 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: do it the way that they He's not a small guy. 372 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: He's six three miles round, not at all right at all, 373 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: so but that could be a nickel corner. 374 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 2: Absolutely, We're gonna take a break here before the Steelers 375 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 2: wrap up this special Teams period. 376 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: He is Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lolly. 377 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 2: We are live here on ESPN ninety seventy and Steelers 378 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 2: Nation Radio from Saint Vincent College here at beautiful Lake 379 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 2: Trope or the Steelers are practicing here on a Saturday. 380 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: We'll be back with more right after this Black and 381 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,479 Speaker 1: Gold football lives here twenty four to seven. You're listening 382 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: to SNR. This environment favors the little speed guys, without question, 383 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: without a doubt. Yeah you know, but now you're in 384 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: pads and translated to the preseason, and I think you 385 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: and I love the pick when it happened without you, 386 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: that was two years ago. But I mean we were 387 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: lobbying for him around before that. He can play outside, 388 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: he can play inside. His speed is very apparent, but 389 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: he's not just a burner. I mean he's a pretty 390 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: good route runner too. Yeah. 391 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 2: And Trubisky taking a shot down the side. Oh catch 392 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 2: share by Cody White. 393 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Cody White has good practice. 394 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: Going up over James Pierre on that one. Nice throw 395 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: by Trubisky to drop that. 396 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: In there, Yeah, very much, so go get it. 397 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 2: Not bad coverage by Pierre on that, but just a 398 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,479 Speaker 2: better throwing catch that happens. 399 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: Now that happens. I mean, it's tough being a corner. 400 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: I mean some of these guys are such good receivers 401 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: and go up and get it type dudes. And you know, 402 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: Trubisky puts it to the point you know you see 403 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: it coming and they don't. I mean, so good stuff. 404 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: I mean, a corner is not always wrong just because 405 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 1: he allowed a nice catch. Yeah yeah, he is Matt Williamson. 406 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: I am Dale Lallie, and we are here every day 407 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: bringing you this live coverage. We'll get a little motion 408 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 2: here by Boykin Whiles Boykin. The motions back out back 409 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 2: to the slot. Actually there's trips on the to Trubisky's left. 410 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 2: One single receiver down at the right that looks like 411 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 2: Butler and it is trisky looking. That bunch goes over 412 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 2: the middle to Connor Hayward and that pass is broken 413 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,239 Speaker 2: up by Trey Norwood actually kind of grazed off of 414 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 2: Hayward's hands, and Norwood came in and cleaned up to 415 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 2: make sure that he didn't catch that one. 416 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: Nice interior blitz too. The young back twenty five had 417 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: a tough time picking up. Yeah. 418 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's again that's a young back issue. 419 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: It is it is. I mean, protection is tough, there's 420 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: no question about it. But it's a make or break 421 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: thing to be on the field. 422 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 2: We now have Mason Rudolph in there, with the third unit. 423 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 2: And I don't believe that Kendrick Green is in there 424 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: at center. 425 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: No, yes he is, Yeah he is. So he's in 426 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: a center. 427 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 2: We won't see him in this situation on some third 428 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 2: down stuff playing fullback. 429 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: He's far from a paulished product at center. It's not 430 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: like we're just gonna say, you know, but do do 431 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: fullback stuff right now on you know, but he is. 432 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: He has played well center to. 433 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: Play there and passed by Mason Rudolf hitting Miles boiking 434 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 2: on the move and yeah around yeah, drag right across 435 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 2: the middle and if threaded it through and that would 436 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 2: have been a nice game there that weekend. 437 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: Okay, that was real nice and again more middle of 438 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: the field stuff than we've seen in the previous years. 439 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah. 440 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 2: A week from today, Matt, we'll be talking about wrapping 441 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 2: up games. The first up the preseason game. So we're 442 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: getting closer quick, right, it really is. 443 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: So another practice tomorrow and then an off day and 444 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: then kind of game week prep. Yeah, back to. 445 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 2: Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, the team will fly to Tampa. 446 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 2: The game's Friday, actually Saturday. They'll be off next week. 447 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 2: They return here Sunday off, Monday back Tuesday and Wednesday, 448 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 2: and then that closes camp. 449 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we're more than halfway, i'd say, right, 450 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, definitely right. We're on the downside now, 451 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: the backside of camp. On the already went over the turn. 452 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: We're on the back nine. I forgot to stop at 453 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: the clubhouse and have a drink. 454 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, could use a dog. Okay, here, Now what do 455 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: we got. Rudolph looking out there at the defense, kwant 456 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: Alexander's out there? 457 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: Well, you showed up and back and backer. Yes he did. 458 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: He's quick, He's quick. He's quick. 459 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, quick and sudden again. Greens got a lot of 460 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: milk out there. Greens at center. 461 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: Looks like Hayward's in the backfield. Yep, Connor Hayward in 462 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: the backfield. I don't think it's an emotional running back field. Interesting. 463 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: So they have a sixth offensive lineman up. No, that's Washington. 464 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: He's so big sometimes I think he's a line So 465 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: they did not have a true running back on the 466 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: field for that snap. I thought that was interesting. 467 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 2: They did not, And Mason Rudolph tried to get down 468 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 2: here to the to his right to uh h keem 469 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 2: Butler and they couldn't connect on that one, so an 470 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: incompletion yep. Yeah, And now we're back in the huddle here. 471 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 2: The defense getting the signals there, looks like looks like 472 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 2: they're kind of prepping the twenty six to do some 473 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 2: signal calling here. 474 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit. Okay, it makes sense. Maybe that's 475 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: why he's out there. He's done it in his past. 476 00:21:58,560 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: I'm I'm imagining. 477 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's out there now, insidelinebacker with Chappelle Russell, who's 478 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 2: had some moments in this camp. 479 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, hees he's had some moments. You're right, good throw 480 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: on time, throw heavy pass rush coverage wasn't bad there, 481 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: No coverage was not bad. 482 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, from thirty five that is uh tough Barkoo who's Yeah, 483 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 2: he's done some nice things in this camp as well. 484 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: That was pretty good coverage against Butler. All right, what 485 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 1: are we doing here? She'll be back to more special 486 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: teams Maybe I don't know, but it looks like, yeah, 487 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: they're going back. The ones are coming out to the 488 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: other side of the field here. Coach is keeping the 489 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: top guys busy. 490 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe they're supposed to go to about four 491 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 2: fifteen today or four ten or so. 492 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 1: Oh really, so a little extra practice here, This is 493 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: yourt rest padded practice, so you might know better than 494 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: I do. And maybe they even said, I'm guessing tomorrow 495 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: will be pads off. 496 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 2: Yes, tomorrow's in I believe shells only. 497 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, after these two. 498 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 2: Two physical practices, yeah, you take it, take. 499 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: A little time, and then you get a little break. 500 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 2: Typically they had done backs on backers for that night practice. 501 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: But I think because Mike Tomlin wasn't there. Nah, that 502 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: makes sense. 503 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 2: He wanted to. He wanted to be there for backs 504 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: on backers. 505 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: He kind of enjoys it. Yeah, he really does. 506 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 2: So Kenny Pickett in the first team offense back out there, 507 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 2: the first team defense is back out there. Make a 508 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: fitz Patrick not out there with the first team. No 509 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: sticking with the two young safeties. It's good as back though. 510 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: Robinson and your Wood there. But yeah, and there's an 511 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 2: inside run that time. 512 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: Deontay was in a slot and Robinson was out wide. 513 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: You usually see the other way around. It's the beauty 514 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: of what Robinson gives you there. You can put him 515 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: in different spots. 516 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 2: Deonta can go to different spots, you know, and they've 517 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 2: done that with Pickens as well this year. 518 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: Yes, And for people don't know, I mean Robinson started 519 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: his career pretty much as a prototypical X receiver on 520 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and as he's aged the Rams 521 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: and even late in his Bears career, we're doing more 522 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: slow with him, more slot with him as a big guy. 523 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: You know that the Seelers have been looking for and 524 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: I think that'll be his prominent role here. But he's 525 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 1: been outside the number in his career much more than 526 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: he's been in the slot. 527 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in the slot now, gets a release. 528 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: Well, nice job. 529 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 2: Shoulder throw by very nice Pickens to Deontay Johnson and 530 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: that that's stealing on that one. 531 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's timing and knowing your receiver and getting it 532 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: out and you know that that's really tough play for 533 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: a corner. 534 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a chamm and Sullivan in the slot today 535 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: working against Alan Rouminson did a nice job of not 536 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 2: letting him. 537 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: Didn't really give him a two way go that that's 538 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: in it. You know, I think he might end. 539 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: Up being a lot doing a lot of the slot 540 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 2: work for them this year. 541 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: No, absolutely, And we got everybody out there we got 542 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: what we got, Hayward, I mean pretty much all the 543 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: ones minus Minca. So another tight formation here. Who we 544 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: put in a motion Friar Rember Barmouth in motion, he 545 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: goes from right to left. He's now lines up in line. Washington, 546 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: come around the end. 547 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 2: And up whoa Larry Ogan job getting up in the 548 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 2: air there to tip the pass and Naujia Harris still 549 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: almost caught it, but that would have gone for yet. 550 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, make sure just just bat it down on 551 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: the ground. Kaan Alexander, can you mention his explosive explosion? 552 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: He came through, timed it up really well. But you 553 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: picked up the blitz nicely. I think. I think these 554 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: linebackers Mike blitz Moore this year. Roberts is a thumper? 555 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: Was that, Alexander? Or was that? 556 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: Because right now I see landing Roberts and fifty five 557 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 2: out there, which. 558 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: Well maybe I screwed. Might have been Roberts. Yeah, Roberts 559 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: can come on the blitz as well. So he's a 560 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: thumper man when he's when he sees it, he goes 561 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: and gets it. He oh he can run yeah yeah 562 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: he yeah, he covers great. 563 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 2: Closes fast. Najia Harris to Kenny Picketts. Right now, we 564 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 2: got Cody White going in motion from left to right, 565 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 2: and there's an inside run two Harris and nice game there. 566 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 2: Probably would have got about five. 567 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: Yards on that, I would say, So, yeah, yeah, he's 568 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: draggon tacklers in the real world a little bit. 569 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 2: He's tough to bring down. He certainly is falls forward 570 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 2: and does a nice job with that too. Yeah, although 571 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: he did get run over in one of the backs 572 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 2: on backers drills, which you don't that was Alexander. That 573 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 2: was Kawant Alexander running over nausea hairs, which wouldn't think 574 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 2: because quant Alexander's giving up about. 575 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: Ten pounds on that. Oh yeah, yeah, he's a smaller dude, 576 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: and he really did a number on nausea on the 577 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: first one. And then they did three ran back. They 578 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: ran it back. I think had three total, right, and 579 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: the other two were closer to draws or you know. Harris. 580 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: Actually the third one he got beat. He ducked his 581 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: head pretty good. So I think Alexander is a good blitzer, 582 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: as is Roberts. Yeah, Jalen Warren in the backfield. 583 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 2: Now you a little play action faked there by Mitch 584 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 2: Trubisky's now in the game and it would have been 585 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 2: a yeah, nobody opened up on that one. 586 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: No good pass rush. Robinson blitz on that one as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 587 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: lots of blitzer say defense and maybe it's a blitzperit. 588 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: They don't tell us these things. 589 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 2: They don't well, they don't really broadcast right right, right right. 590 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 2: Let's see here I got let me see here. I 591 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 2: have the practice slate here in front of me. What 592 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 2: are they calling this thing here? 593 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: This is uh. 594 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 2: Really doesn't say. I can't read what it says. Yeah, 595 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 2: I have the practice guys were in front of me. 596 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 2: But anyways, under center is mister Bisky. Now emotions for 597 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 2: Miles Boykan to get across the formation from left to right, 598 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 2: and we get the handoff to Jaylen Warren. 599 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: A big hole, big hole, and he hit it. He 600 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: did a nice job. So it wasn't a true whole hole. 601 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: It was kind of a seam, yeah, it was, you know. 602 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 2: He more just went went to his left and then 603 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 2: scooted back across a little bit across the formation and. 604 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: And kind of leaned. Yeah, it kind of gave a 605 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: little shoulder lean there, thinking he was going to go 606 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: this side of the center and he went through that 607 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: huge hole that was really nice and in a nice hold. 608 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: Obviously very quick, Yeah, yeah, very quick. 609 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 2: Well done this against the second team defense. So he 610 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 2: gets some backups out there, Joey Porter out there on 611 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 2: this group. With this group, James Pierre the other cornerback. 612 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: He got Mark Robinson and Kwan Alexander as the inside 613 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 2: backers there. Looking at the guys up front, we're seeing 614 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 2: Jonathan Marshall out there. 615 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: Who he's not bad, No, it's not very good stuff. 616 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: He can play in the league, I think. Yeah, is 617 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: that if a hako Forjoco is on the nose. So 618 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: Marshall's at an end position here. That's interesting. I always 619 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: thought he was more of an end than nose. But 620 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: he's done more nos that I've noted. A big guy. Yeah, 621 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: he's a big guy. Got a pocket this time, throws 622 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: it out there to McFarland. He's got a blocker in 623 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: front of him and well, I know they're not tackling, 624 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: but I think he made forty five miss there. Yeah. Yeah, 625 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: I think he had a little help on that too. 626 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: Was a good block. 627 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, from the Raven Clark out there got out that 628 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: it was space and just got a piece of the 629 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: defender to kind of chip him out of there as well. 630 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: Clark doesn't get talked about it a lot, but I 631 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: think he's been pretty solid too. 632 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 2: Now we got Connor Hayward joining the huddle here, so 633 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 2: giving Trubisky another weapon here, defense winning here they break 634 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 2: the huddle. We got Boykin and Austin down here, Austin 635 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 2: in the slot. Now they motioned McFarland out of the 636 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: backfield to pick to Trubisky's right. 637 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: And going empty, went empty here, going empty. 638 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 2: We got a blitz off the corner. Nice job by 639 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 2: picking that up by Jones. 640 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: Go get it, Connor, that's a pick. 641 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: So initially Hayward had the had the catch, and who's 642 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 2: the defender there? 643 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: I can't tell. He went kind of just went up 644 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: and took it off of him. Oh that's Mark uh 645 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: Mark rob. 646 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 2: Robinson rose the ball in the air and they do 647 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 2: the duck shot. 648 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: No, but that was just kind of a go ride 649 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: out of the scene from Hayward. I mean, I think 650 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: that they knew they had won on one on linebacker 651 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: took the shot. Hayward got up and it looked like 652 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: he was gonna make a heck of a play and 653 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: Robinson just took it off him. 654 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 2: He just took it off of him. Yeah, pass was 655 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 2: a little bit behind, it was it was. 656 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: It wasn't a great throw. Yeah. 657 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 2: Now we got Mason Rudolph coming in here with his group. 658 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 2: Changed up some of the defenders here as well. He 659 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 2: breaks the huddle here. He's got Darius Hagen's in the 660 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 2: backfield with him here to his left. 661 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: I think that's McFarlane with him as well. I think 662 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: there's another pony package. Yeah, McFarlane was his motion. Yeah 663 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: it was. 664 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: It's uh, I can't tell who that is there, but 665 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 2: he did did a nice job of opening up there 666 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: to get that's des Fitzpatrick and uh yeah, good throw. 667 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, nice about about a twenty yard game there from that, 668 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: I would say, so good concept designed there. I think 669 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: a lot of eyes were McFarlane, Oh yeah, because they've 670 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: done that a lot. 671 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 2: When he screams across the formation and then they end 672 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,719 Speaker 2: up throwing him the pass and the flat I mean 673 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: that's going to occupy the linebackers. 674 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: All that eye candy's hard to deal with. 675 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean that's you know, people talk about 676 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 2: the Matt Cannada offense. You know, I don't know that 677 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 2: we've really gotten to see what it truly looks like. 678 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: Oh, there's Kendrick Green out there on the on the wing. 679 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 2: Is he gonna go in motion or we get motion 680 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 2: chissing behind him? He goes to the other wing. Now, 681 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 2: so they got a tight formation. Green comes across the 682 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 2: formation and picks up the outside linebacker Rochet and got 683 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: a nice block. 684 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: On a nice block on right. It's kind of a 685 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: misdirection block, and you see off that backside. Now I'm 686 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: liking when I'm seeing the Kendrick Green stuff. Can we 687 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: can call it? 688 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 2: Can we call it the Kendrick Green experiment or are 689 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 2: we going to call this the Kendrick Green project experience experience? 690 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: Uh? 691 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 2: Now, when he's out there like that, I would assume 692 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 2: he has to. 693 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: Report his eligible I assume, yeah, I assume because we 694 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: cut a Where's he at now? I think it must 695 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: have come off the field. I thought he was still. 696 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: I did too, and I don't see him. He could 697 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: be wrong. 698 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 2: I guess he's not out there. Maybe Rudolph takes the snap. 699 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 2: He's got a good pocket. 700 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: At four short routes, they were all kind of five 701 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: yards turn around, picked a poison. 702 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 2: It hits our guy, Rodney Williams for a nice little 703 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 2: quick game. 704 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: Get to have his hand quick. I don't see green. 705 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: Where did he go? 706 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 2: Okay, it's hard to hide a guy like that. No, 707 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 2: he's pretty energetic too. Yeah, absolutely so. They they're huddling 708 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 2: up right now. And who's the left tackle there with 709 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 2: this group? That is seventy seventy four maybe seventy four, 710 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 2: that would be Spencer. Spencer Anderson it left tackle. 711 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: He's had that in his background. Yeah, we got to run. 712 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: That is behind him, Yeah, that is him. 713 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 2: He did a good job too, a nice corn Hayward 714 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 2: on that run. 715 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, did a lot of different stuff today, stumbling 716 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: and bumbling and yeah yeah, picked his way through it. 717 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: A lot of carries in Michigan state. 718 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 2: Absolutely not you know, not ideal speed for that, but 719 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: he's very patient, very patient, picking his way through hard. 720 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, so you can do here. I assume this 721 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: will be some sort of special This is a special 722 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: team's drill. So it's good time for us to take 723 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: a break. He is Matt Williamson. 724 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,479 Speaker 2: I am Dale Lolly. You're listening to the Drive here 725 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 2: on Steelers Nation Radio and ESPN nine seventy if you 726 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 2: aren't out here, and from the looks of things, there 727 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 2: aren't many who aren't, but there's a lot of fans here. 728 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 2: But if you aren't out here, you can continue listening 729 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 2: to us here on ESPN nine to seventy and Steelers 730 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 2: Nation Radio will keep you up to date with everything 731 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 2: that's happening here at Steelers' training camp practice at Saint 732 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: Vincent College. 733 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: We'll be back with more right after. 734 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 2: This cost training camp practice here at Saint Vincent College 735 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 2: and Matt we've been. 736 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: At this for a little over a week now. Yeah, Yeah, 737 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: What are you. 738 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 2: Seeing from the Steelers offense that is different from a 739 00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 2: year ago. 740 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: Lots and lots and lots, to be honest with him, 741 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: way more in breaking routes, way more pony package with 742 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: two running backs on the field. The Kendrick Green stuff 743 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: obviously is sort of unique, but they were doing similar 744 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 1: stuff with Hayward to a lesser degree a gunner, certainly 745 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: a lot more pre snap motion. Breaking the huddle with 746 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: a running back detached has been a normal thing that 747 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: we didn't see a lot of last year. I'd say 748 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: that's about it, you know, I mean, we've seen they 749 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 1: were very very heavy. I don't say, like I fge 750 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: it's like ninety five percent of their snaps were either 751 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: an eleven or twelve last year. I think that's going 752 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: to change. And good players, yeah, I mean different players obviously, 753 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: you know Washington and Robinson and those type of dudes 754 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: that goes out saying yeah yeah, I like what they're 755 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: doing offensively. 756 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 2: Conceptually, I wonder how much of this are going to 757 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 2: actually put on tape during the preseason. I know that's 758 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 2: gonna be the question because people are still gonna be 759 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 2: you know, the people who haven't been out here are 760 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 2: going to look at this. 761 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: And go, I want to see it in games, yeah, yeah, yeah. 762 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 2: And I just don't know that you're gonna see too 763 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 2: much go Vanilla in the preseason. 764 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: I would assume that's the move, you know, I mean, 765 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: you're just gonna you're not gonna show a ton, But 766 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: there certainly could be someone from the Niners in the 767 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: seats right now, you know, I mean, a lot of 768 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: this stuff gets out or you know, we're talking about it, 769 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 1: we've written about it. I don't know that's a good question. 770 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,919 Speaker 1: I don't know how the preseason goes schematically. I don't 771 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: even care who's out there. I'm more worried about the 772 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: play calling and the personnel groupings. Yeah, yeah, I don't 773 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: care which you know, exact player it is. 774 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,439 Speaker 2: I will say that I don't believe the NFL rules 775 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 2: permit somebody from the forty nine ers to be out 776 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 2: here recording or anything like that. 777 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure they don't, right, right, But that doesn't mean 778 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't happen. It doesn't mean it doesn't happen, or 779 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 1: you at least tune in or you know, all the 780 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: bloggers and all that stuff telling you stuff.

I'm not admonishing fans here or 785 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 2: anything like that, but they you know, they can't be here, 786 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 2: and then it's. 787 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: Not supposed to happen. 788 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 2: But you have websites out there that that video practice 789 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 2: and put the you know, put the clips out there 790 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 2: in practice.

But no, but if you 822 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 2: break the rules, the practice rules, yes, yeah, you know, 823 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 2: I mean you know the rules when. 824 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: You get there, right, right, So we get but we're 825 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: allowed to tell you everything now because people are right, right, 826 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's. 827 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 2: The difference because people, I know, people were asking us 828 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 2: about that at OTAs and why aren't you guys reporting, 829 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 2: which we can't. 830 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 1: It's not open to the public, right, correct, So we're 831 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: not going to open it to the public. 832 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 2: We get some nine on seven taking place here in 833 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 2: the field in front of us. We get the one 834 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 2: on ones over here. They're a little bit closer to 835 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 2: us today than they have. 836 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, so usually on the left on the second field 837 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: in the middle right, so we may be able to 838 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,800 Speaker 1: watch those a little more closely today. It's been a 839 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: good practice though. Honestly, the nine on seven stuff, that's 840 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: big Farland and Farland. You asked, what what's different about 841 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: last year? Well, they definitely have a plan for that guy. 842 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 1: Yeah that he didn't do anything in camp last year, 843 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: but he's he's getting a lot of reps and a 844 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 1: lot of the balls getting in his hands a lot. 845 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: You know, you start at this time of year starting 846 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: thinking about Roderick Jones showed up pretty well, but this 847 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: time of year you start thinking about roster breakdown and 848 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: things of that. 849 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I'm just wondering, can you steal 850 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 2: a couple of roster spots with the Connor Hayward and 851 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 2: Anthony McFarland. Like Anthony McFarlane can do some wide receiver stuff, 852 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 2: he can do some running back stuff. Connor Hayward can 853 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 2: do all of the above as well. 854 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: Hayward, to me, is the epitome of stealing roster spots. Yeah. 855 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean he could get you out of game as 856 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: a running back. He's a fullback, he's a tight end, 857 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: he's a slot receiver, and he's one of your best 858 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: special teamers. You know, so Farland catching another pass, Yeah, 859 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: he's good at that. He is. He looks He's always 860 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: been a good receiver. He looks better now. He looks 861 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: like a sharper route runner more. He looks more like 862 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: a slot receiver than a running back. If there were 863 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: a w R next to his name, good bye it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 864 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: good buye it. I mean he's got that kind of speed, 865 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: body control, more of a slot type, you know. But 866 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: he's bigger now than you know. 867 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 2: I talked to him in the spring and he said, 868 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 2: you know, he's basically the same weight that he's always been, 869 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 2: right around one hundred and ninety five pounds. Okay, but 870 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 2: he's added more muscle, like he's changed his body tight a. 871 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: Little bit, so he feels stronger than he used to. Yeah. 872 00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 2: And you know, again, if he were a you know, 873 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,399 Speaker 2: a fi foot nine five ten, one hundred and ninety 874 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,479 Speaker 2: five pounds wide receiver, nobody bad an eye at. 875 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,160 Speaker 1: Right, and you say, boy, he's really good after catch 876 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 1: and breaks a lot of tame. Yeah yeah, right, Well 877 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: that's what it is, right, that's what you're going to 878 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 1: use him as here. 879 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:14,880 Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, you can line him up at 880 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 2: the backfield and use him as a running back as well. 881 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: Would you agree he has more catches than carries in camp? 882 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: Uh close, it's close. 883 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to count the one on one 884 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 2: individual stuff. I'm talking just yes, when they're in eleven 885 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 2: on eleven stuff, and I'd say it's really close. 886 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: Really close right where obviously Harris and Warren have more carries. Yeah, 887 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: you know, no question I would agree with that. Yeah, 888 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: it's telling, It is telling. They break the huddle here, 889 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: he's on the field with nausea. Harris in this situation, 890 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: Harris to Kenny Pickett's left and then McFarland in the 891 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: slot and then Pickett motions him acrust what would be 892 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,879 Speaker 1: a formation against in nine and seven? And uh runs 893 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: a quick in and boom and now it Adam didn't 894 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: go direct, chose to I don't like that. 895 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 2: We're gonna see him catching that pass a bunch here 896 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 2: after practice, because that's when he'd like to have. 897 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: Thee ripped her by Bent. I said, yeah, he's really 898 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,520 Speaker 1: well done. His hands are really active, they really are. 899 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: Don't think of him as just kind of a stumpy nose, 900 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, occupier of space. I mean he is an upfield. 901 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: That was really nice. He has heavy hands. I mean 902 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: he just hid he he went with like it was 903 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: almost a slapped or Ryan McCollum's side just stopped him 904 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 1: right there and then just swam right around that. Yeah, 905 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: that was really nice. We're gonna run that back again 906 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,319 Speaker 1: a third time. A Yeah, they're gonna run that one 907 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: back a third time. Well this time the better time. Yeah, 908 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 1: mclum did better. Better job by McCollum there, holding that 909 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: point a little bit of good stuff about maccollum too, though, Yeah, 910 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: I think he's a throw away either. No, no touchdown 911 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 1: down here by Alan Robinson the slot. He's so he 912 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: keeps showing up too. He does keep showing up. Now 913 00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: he'll be a quality edition from what I'm told. He 914 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 1: really good in the room and you know, being around 915 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 1: the block and smart guy. 916 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I can't help. But like what I've seen 917 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 2: from this team thus far, I mean, sure they got. 918 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: Some dudes, they absolutely do. But unfortunately thirty one other 919 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,880 Speaker 1: training camps are pretty optimistic right now. This is our year. 920 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 1: Things are looking good. You know, our rookies are going 921 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 1: to hit. Now. 922 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 2: We got Mitch Trubisky out there in this He's got 923 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 2: jaylem Warren to his right with four receivers that are 924 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 2: one of them being Connor Heyward in the slot and 925 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 2: Patmanah Firemuth goes in motion inside of gunner Old Chewsky 926 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 2: that gets him a matchup on a safety and that's 927 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:38,320 Speaker 2: where they try to go with it. 928 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 1: A little fader out there, really well covered. 929 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, nice job there, I believe that was who was 930 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 2: it there? 931 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: Thirty seven okay, and with a little help from Neil. Yeah, 932 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 1: Kean and Neil came over late. 933 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,240 Speaker 2: But Elijah Riley did a nice job there holding holding 934 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,879 Speaker 2: his ground there against a much bigger man. 935 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: Fiarmuth was a little late off the line of scrimmage 936 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: there and doesn't seem to something's bugging a little bit 937 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: right now too. 938 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, he had to come, he had to kind of 939 00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 2: try to reach around make that catch it. Then they 940 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 2: went to the ground. So I wonder if he didn't 941 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 2: take a shot an awkward move. 942 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it doesn't look like they're super worried 943 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:11,759 Speaker 1: about it now. 944 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 2: Darnell Washington out there and he singled up here to 945 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 2: get trips to the right. Darnell Washington down here by 946 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:22,080 Speaker 2: himself and see him that way, and that's where he's No, 947 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,839 Speaker 2: it was an So they let Washington clear that out 948 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 2: and Ranald Schefsky and in them behind him again. Those 949 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 2: kind of routs like that, I don't know that we've 950 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 2: seen a left tackle rep. 951 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 1: And that was that's Jones over there. It was an 952 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,440 Speaker 1: interesting set by him. He kind of attacked it like 953 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 1: it was a run play. 954 00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was against Hayward though too, so yeah, that 955 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 2: was Hayward's rep. Okay, good job there. That was a 956 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,240 Speaker 2: big number sixty eight on that rep. That is William 957 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 2: Duncle and he's a guy that they they brought over 958 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 2: from Phililadelphia.

He locked up on what was that? 960 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,359 Speaker 1: There's a three technique, but I couldn't catch the number. 961 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 1: I think it was Manny Jones. I'm not sure. I 962 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,799 Speaker 1: think that was Uncle. Again.
