00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 2: I know what it's technically, March. I think right when

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: the new when the lea calendar turns over.

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 4: But everyone goes it's like cool, like you said in the.

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: Draft and all that, it feels like a little bit

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: of last season and then maybe you know, like mini

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: campus like orientation.

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 3: Of the new school year.

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 4: But this is like when you and I in particular

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 4: and the players, if you do this for a living.

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 4: There's no more vacation from here on it, you know,

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 4: like I mean, this is the beginning of the grind

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 4: or the love of it.

27
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: I know you like I know you're in the same boat.

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: You relate.

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: But like I tell my family all the time, I

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: tell my friends all the time, if you want me

31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: on a vacation, it needs to be before the end

32
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: of July, like it needs to be in early July

33
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: or in June. And like if you're getting married, if

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: you're having weddings, anything like that, if you do them

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: in the fall, God bless congratulations. But I'm not gonna

36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 2: be there from late July until probably what late February,

37
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 2: early March.

38
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna be there.

39
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: And one of my all time best friends was many

40
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 4: moons ago, and this dates me a little bit, but

41
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: got married and I just flat out said I'm not

42
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 4: gonna be there because it was when I worked for Pitt.

43
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: It was the first game of what was then Heinz

44
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 4: Field game. That's Saturday. I'm not going to be there.

45
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: Miss I'm missing. I'm my cousin is getting married in September.

46
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna be there, right, I think we'll be

47
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: in Boston that weekend or New England that that weekend. Yeah,

48
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: it's you and you kind of mentioned this earlier, like

49
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: getting to do this for a living. It's a lot

50
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: of fun. Man, like this, we have one of the

51
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: best jobs in the world. But that is one of

52
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: the very few downsides, is like you're gonna miss holidays,

53
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna miss weddings, You're gonna miss birthdays and anniversaries.

54
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: My you know, my oldest daughter will turn four here

55
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,440

Speaker 4: and end August.

65
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: You know it is it is, Uh, summer is over,

66
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: at least from a football perspective, and it is like

67
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: the first day of school here as we get.

68
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,960

70
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 4: but we didn't as much this year because my son

78
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: of naps, charged the batteries a little bit. Yeah, yeah,

79
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 4: I got an hour yere, I'm gonna lay down for

80
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: forty five minutes.

81
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: It's funny you say that too, because I was.

82
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: I was talking with king Er earlier and I was like,

83
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: you know, having a three and a two year I'm

84
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: kind of on the opposite. Yeah, you've got You've got

85
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: you've got one who's just graduated, in another who's about

86
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: to graduate.

87
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: I've got a three and a two year old, so

88
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: I'm not the same.

89
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: This off season was less relaxing than any off season

90
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: in my life previously. But that's just a season of life, baby,

91
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: and it is you know this, like it's a good thing,

92
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: and like, I'm happy to be exhausted because like I

93
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: spend so much time and have you know.

94
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: Because you'll see them less from today going oh totally, totally.

95
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, and a lot more of these black and

96
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: gold Pittsburgh Steelers out here who are getting some water.

97
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: Now. We are just a special teams period, special teams period.

98
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: Just a little over an hour into our first practice here,

99
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers just went over in and dapped up Nick

100
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: Herbig about something that happened there was giving him some

101
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: props for something that he did. As he's over there,

102
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is talking to the edge rushers, speaking of

103
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: special teams period.

104
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: All right, man, you're ready to get into the weeds

105
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: here a little bit.

106
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happens with the punter situation this year?

107
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 3: Cam Johnson?

108
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: We all know we were crazy excited about him, Yeah,

109
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: and rightfully so, and then that devastating injury and the

110
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: season opener down in Atlanta.

111
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 4: So let's lay it out.

112
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: He's ten months removed from that, you know, at this point,

113
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: Ruglas Weightman came in and I thought did admirably about

114
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: as realistic as you could expect.

115
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: So lay it out for us.

116
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 4: So one year ago, first day of training camp practice.

117
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 4: You know, it's like the conversation we're all having this man,

118
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 4: Harvin was really up and down. They haven't had a

119
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: reliable punter for a while, you know. I mean, it's

120
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: one of the few positions like in Steeler history that

121
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 4: there's not a Hall of Famer or star like he's

122
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 4: the best punter.

123
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 3: You know, it's it never is a good question franchise.

124
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 4: And finally Omar in the front office basically said we're

125
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: gonna give Johnston good money in the free Asia market

126
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: and we're just gonna stop this problem in his tracks

127
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: and man, watching him every practice.

128
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: Those first few practices, we were all like, this looks

129
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: different than.

130
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 4: Way different. Like Harvin was really impressive in practice because

131
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 4: sometimes he'd get the driver out and just kill it,

132
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, just.

133
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: Cra He would have certain ones you could hear. You

134
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: could hear all the way across the tropo.

135
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: Yes, right, I mean, but.

136
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: The shanks that would go it was bad and.

137
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: Right and as the season went on and got worse,

138
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,559
Speaker 4: and you know, so we know his problems and he's gone.

139
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 4: But Johnston was a much different style punter, and our

140
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 4: punters all the same no, not really. It's good a

141
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: lot like golf. He had every club in his bag.

142
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: He would knuckle them, he would do a end over end.

143
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 4: He would not always blast at full speed. I mean

144
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 4: he could drop it inside the five, he could cough

145
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 4: and corner it. I mean, all these different things and

146
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 4: tricks he did with the ball was really impressive. And

147
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 4: he still has a good leg and you know, hang

148
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 4: time and that stuff as well. Then he gets hurt.

149
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 4: And as you mentioned, they were so fortunate to find Weightman,

150
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: you I mean because he was at least an NFL

151
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: average punter, which is better than what they had before Johnston.

152
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: No doubt. And I think he was probably even maybe

153
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 3: slightly above at.

154
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 4: Even being conservative there, So I think wisely, I mean,

155
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 4: these rosters are what ninety two guys? I actually know

156
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: if Man ninety three whatever? Right, Yeah, why not keep

157
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 4: Weightman around, who is maybe the fifteenth best punter on

158
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 4: the planet in case Johnston gets hurt. I definitely think

159
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: it's Johnston's job.

160
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: I think it is too if he's healthy.

161
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you could bring him along slow. If one

162
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 4: of the two happens to get hurt, you're still fine,

163
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 4: and someone's gonna be messing with their punter and going

164
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 4: man our guy. I'm not confident going into Week one

165
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 4: with this dude. Like, I'm not saying you're gonna ge

166
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 4: a third round pick for weightman, but you might get

167
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: a future sixth or something. When give him a seventh,

168
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 4: I mean it's an asset, yeah yeah, or you caught

169
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: him and it doesn't no skin off your dout.

170
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah sure, but no, I think you're right, and I

171
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: think you know, we talked a little bit about comp

172
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: picks and all the you know, the capitol the Steelers

173
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: have for the draft next April, which will be on

174
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: the north shore of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. By the way, hey,

175
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: if you could, if you could do a late round pickswap,

176
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: you know, Corlis weightman and a seventh and you get

177
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: a sixth from somebody like that's not gonna move the needle, crazy,

178
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: but you're gonna have. That's going to improve your day

179
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: three draft capital, which is never a bad thing.

180
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: Right. All costs was room and board while you're here

181
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: basically right right, anything you can get out of it

182
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: great because he's gonna be in the league next year.

183
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I both health you know, health health assumed. They

184
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: they I will will both be in the league. And

185
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 2: I think you're right. I mean, I think Corlis Weightman's

186
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: got a.

187
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: Better chance of being the league than the ninety third

188
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 4: guy that's.

189
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: A total eighth.

190
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: Say, yeah, absolutely, absolutely, And so that's a I think

191
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: that's one of those underdiscussed things to this point.

192
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's punters, you know what I mean.

193
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: It's not a four time MVP quarterback or a freakish

194
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: wide receiver everything that they've done to the defense. But that,

195
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: to me is is certainly something to keep an eye on.

196
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: Like I I I think there's a real possibility that

197
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: you know that we could see Corless Whiteman moved at

198
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: some point or just uh, you know.

199
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: That'll be one of the first teams somebody calls if

200
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 4: it's a corrections or bears or whatever, if someone's punter

201
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 4: gets hurt or some punters gonna get hurt.

202
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, or you're right, you get two weeks from now

203
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: and you're.

204
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: Like, this guy's not good.

205
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 3: We can't we need a different punter. We need to

206
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: go shopping.

207
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: You're one of the few teams that drafted ones. Say

208
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: and I can count on a rookie and They're like,

209
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 4: I can't count on a rookie. I went through two

210
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 4: preseason games and these guys are terrible. These guys are terrible, Right,

211
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 4: I'll trust them.

212
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers about to take a sard.

213
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 4: He really, yes, with an economic background, a salary cap

214
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 4: back ground, he really pays attention to every penny, you

215
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 4: know what I mean? And by that, I mean every

216
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 4: seventh round pick, every little thing, and the last guy

217
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 4: in your roster, that type of stuff.

218
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: They start that up, and I know it absolutely is.

219
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: That's that's the you know, you you are obviously trying

220
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: to get better in big ways, your first your first

221
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 2: round draft picks, your big trade, your big signings, but

222
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: you can get better in the margins as well too,

223
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: and all those little all those little inches where you

224
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: improve or ad capital here, save salary cap there.

225
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: Like that stuff adds up. That that stuff matters. That

226
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: stuff matters as well too.

227
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

228
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I have this conversation a lot too. It's like, Okay, Matt,

229
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 4: they got all these picks for next year, and you

230
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: know that that's great, but does that really help them

231
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: move from twenty to six in the first round?

232
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: Not really?

233
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I can't give you thirty two seventh round picks,

234
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 4: you know what.

235
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 3: I mean, or even a bunch of third and fourth

236
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: round top.

237
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, teams don't want those and be like, okay,

238
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: I'll move up ten spots in the first round, sure

239
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 4: for your seven seventh round pick. Of course, that's not

240
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 4: how it's gonna work, but you can take the you

241
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 4: can fill your other needs with that stuff and go

242
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 4: all in with your big assets for the quarterback or

243
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 4: whatever you need.

244
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know that. That's he came back pretty good, right,

245
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: Oh my good.

246
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: He just exploded down the field. His legs are like

247
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: tree trunks.

248
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 3: Man.

249
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 4: I mean, so we're allowed to do play by play

250
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 4: here we are? That's my specialty. Yeah, Like what happens?

251
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 4: They use them like a crossing route, middle of the

252
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 4: field route. Rogers hits him and stride and then you

253
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 4: just see this whoa Like yeah, like a horse, like

254
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: a galloping exactly like a Budweiser, one of those big power.

255
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: Like not not in the way that Calvin Austin runs

256
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: quickly like this is like you can feel the earth

257
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: shaking a little bit of the.

258
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 4: Big stride length and power, and then all of a sudden,

259
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: it's like separate woomb you know, like then that was

260
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 4: Aj Brown with Arthur Smith.

261
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was Aj Brown with Arthur Smith absolutely shrugging

262
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: off some some attempted arm tackle.

263
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 4: Him like that. I mean, that's he's not just a

264
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: vertical outside the number, dude.

265
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot of fun watching watching eight

Speaker 2: to sink our teeth into you here.

294
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,240

295
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 4: really not.

296
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: I mean August tenth or ninth in Jacksonville. I mean

297
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: that's that's just a fraction over two weeks away here.

298
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: In fact, two weeks from tomorrow I'll be flying to

299
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: flying to Jacksonville with our radio crew to get ready

300
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: for preseason game number one. A little update for you,

301
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: John new Smith. He was dressed earlier in practice. Now

302
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: in the team drills portion, he is in a hoodie

303
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 2: and shorts on the sideline, So hopefully nothing serious.

304
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 3: Maybe we're gonna like he's jogging down the field now.

305
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so hopefully just maybe something out of an abundance

306
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 2: of caution.

307
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: Or or what have you.

308
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: But I feel a twinge or whatever the first day.

309
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: Let's just take some time here, and we got plenty

310
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: of time to ramp this thing up. But Mike Tomlin

311
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 2: will you know, he speaks to the media every single

312
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 2: day after practice, so I'm sure he'll be asked about that.

313
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: That's something we could keep an eye on.

314
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: But like I said, he's he was jogging down the

315
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: field just a second ago holding a football now kind

316
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: of talking with some people doesn't seem to be.

317
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 3: Too alarm.

318
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 2: But it sounds like our formerly of this parish, Justin Fields,

319
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: dodged a little bit of a bullet today at practice.

320
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: He had to be carted off earlier.

321
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: But it sounds like it's just a dislocated toe, which

322
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: is probably the best case scenario from being carted off.

323
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 4: But here, if it would have been a broken toe,

324
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 4: that's usually about six weeks and maybe would not have

325
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 4: been ready for the opener.

326
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: Right whereas it dislocated, maybe, you know, just a week

327
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: or two and he'll be back and good to go.

328
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: Looks like we're gonna have some team period here.

329
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 4: And super quick before we get into that. I mean,

330
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: I know it's a small thing, but he's in a

331
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 4: new team with the new system fields I'm talking about,

332
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 4: and that's your opening. The opponent I'm gonna talking about

333
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 4: the former stealer. I'm talking about who you're playing in

334
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: week one for a lot less practice time than they

335
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 4: would have liked.

336
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, not, maybe a lot.

337
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: Kind of similar to Kirk Cousins last year with the

338
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons and him coming in recovering from an injury.

339
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: Uh ones on ones here first first.

340
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: Including the first round pick got in the back of the.

341
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 3: Including the first round pick who got in the.

342
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 4: Back clear running with the ones, they oh.

343
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: Without a doubt, which is I think a very encouraging

344
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: sign about how they feel about him, Matt, because you

345
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: and I know they don't typically do that. It doesn't

346
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: matter how good you are as a rookie you get,

347
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 2: they make you earn it.

348
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 4: I know Pouncy was one.

349
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah you know that started center.

350
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, basically said from day one.

351
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: Remember I can't remember many in my my eight years here.

352
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: That practice number one, you're with the one.

353
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: Practice one, you are with the ones. But Derek Harmon

354
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: is there was a handoff that Jalen.

355
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 4: Out there all the time that that certainly helps, right, and.

356
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: Her BIG's out there for wat And speaking of Hayward, No,

357
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: that was not Hayward. Was that Ken Benton who got

358
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: a hand on that one past scrimmage.

359
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: I'd say Harmon and Benton where you're into your d

360
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 4: tackles with the four man front, and Hayward would probably

361
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 4: be with that guy more often than not. But still

362
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: he's being thought of as a starter.

363
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, and and and that's and that's good to see.

364
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: And he's getting some some DAPs from from Alex Highsmith

365
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: there after a couple of successful reps. So first play

366
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 2: for the offense, short run for Jalen Warren's second play

367
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: for the offense. We think it was Benton, might have

368
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: been Harmon got a hand on that when both of

369
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: those guys the last two plays have been beating up,

370
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: uh the interior of that offensive line there. Let's see

371
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: how uh how Rep Number three here looks still Jalen

372
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: Warren in the backfield, Aaron Rodgers now under center. Connor

373
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: Hayward in motion, as as Harmon and bent and bark

374
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: out some signals to each other. High Smith in the

375
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: backfield quickly, Aaron Rodgers is gonna dump one off there.

376
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: To Roman Wilson. That would have been a sack.

377
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: That would have been a sack in the in the

378
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: in a in a regular play here. But hey, you know,

379
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: at the same time, there's no pads on today, Like

380
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: it's a little bit more difficult for the offensive lineman

381
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: to get their hands on these guys. It's absolutely it

382
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: looks like we're gonna have the one stay out there.

383
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: Pat Fryarmouth checking in now. Uh, some changes to the

384
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: defense of personnel defense, looks like it's the second Well,

385
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: Jayleen Ramsey's still out there at the safety position, Joey Porter,

386
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: June Queen. So just some changes up front. Big guys

387
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: were swapped out. Still Aaron Rodgers deep middle, all by

388
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: himself right now, Aaron Rodgers under center. Who was that

389
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: in motion in the backfield? Was that Caleb Johnson in

390
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: motion in the backfield? Somebody in motion in the backfield.

391
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: Now the handoff is to Caleb Johnson, will bounce that

392
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: one outside for just a couple of yards I'm trying

393
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: to see.

394
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: Who that was.

395
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: That was Robert Woods who was in motion on that

396
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 2: pre snap there actually as now good blocker, yep. Now

397
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: we'll see Mason Rudolph check into the end of the

398
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: game here with some of the number twos as well.

399
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 3: Caleb Johnson say.

400
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, defense starters on defense.

401
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: No Cole Holcombe checking in there, Beanie Bishop, Corey Trice

402
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 2: as Yeah, it looks like all the ones now on

403
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 2: both sides of the Oh. No, Roderick Jones still in

404
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: at left tackle. No part of me that is not

405
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: Broderick Jones. So yeah, so all the all the ones out,

406
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: Caleb Johnson in the backfield. Now he will get the

407
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: handoff from Mason Rudolph. Nice hole there by their offensive line.

408
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 4: Good acceleration, yeah, good exciting.

409
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 2: Right, they can't tackle, right, that would have been a

410
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: solid That would have been a solid you'll you'll take

411
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: that for a first down first down game there.

412
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 3: That might have been a nice five or six yards

413
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 3: on on.

414
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 4: As always, I feel like I'm obligated to do this.

415
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 4: The fancy that Ah just busted off a sixty yard run.

416
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 3: Not quite not quite, maybe a six or second and.

417
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 4: I like his acceleration and he didn't ants And I

418
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 4: mean that's all great, but that would have been a

419
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 4: little different in pads Jack Sawyer.

420
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: We're getting to look at him out there on the edge, Matt.

421
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: He doesn't look I mean from a just the visual

422
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 2: body type, he does not look like a rookie.

423
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: No, no, big, well built up, big goodness right.

424
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 4: Right, brings a lot more to the It brings a

425
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 4: lot of different things at the table than herbig.

426
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: Yes, I think there's a nice thunder and lightning kind

427
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 2: of peanut butter and jelly with those two.

428
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 4: There was what they were looking for with the Preston

429
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 4: Smith trade, correct, and they got some of it. They

430
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 4: weren't going to resign them, you know.

431
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: Mason dumps that one off to Connor Hayward.

432
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 4: There under a lot of pressure again though under.

433
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: A lot of pressure again that has been a theme

434
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: here in this in this team period. We're seeing why

435
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: a black out there on the defensive line, getting some

436
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: getting some some action. I'm very encouraged by him, and

437
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 2: he's got what seems like a great body type for

438
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: a rookie already as well.

439
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: To six' five almost three forty you.

440
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 4: Kind of beat me to, it BUT i was my

441
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 4: eye keeps going to both those dudes the defensive tackles here,

442
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 4: Too black as well as they want helped me with the. Pronunciation,

443
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 4: YEAH i think so, azzy interesting body. Type he's. Not

444
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 4: he's like forty pounds heavier Than black for. SURE i

445
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 4: mean he's much more like The Aaron smith long three

446
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 4: four defensive end. Type but he's got long. Limbs he

447
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 4: made that play in the DEF i mean didn't take

448
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 4: him to the, ground but he quickly. Penetrated he just

449
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 4: stood out to me first, glimpse you, know just kind

450
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 4: of my. SCOUTING i was, like, cool who's seventy? Two,

454
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 4: opened the show talking about how the last two camps

455
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 4: they've had more offensive, linemen MORE nfl offensive linemen that

456
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: could make this. ROSTER i think they have way too

457
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 4: many true defensive.

458
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,159

459
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: good seven make. IT i think they might go ten

460
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 2: deep at that.

461
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 3: PAT i think they.

462
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: ARE i think they're a little spoiled a little rich

00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: in that position as well. Too Will howard in some

464

Speaker 2: Uh Will howard will stay in the, game see if

471
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 2: we'll see if he's gonna get a lot of reps

472
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 2: out here and then in, preseason AND i MEAN i

473
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: you don't Expect Aaron rodgers to get any more than

474
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 2: one series during the, preseason, maybe, right like?

475
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 4: Maybe, YEAH i do, Not AND i don't know The

476
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 4: rudelp's going to need a time.

477
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 2: That's that was gonna be my Next do you even

478
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: even a quarter game For mason or even less than?

479
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: That maybe two?

480
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 4: Series, yeah that'd be really. INTERESTING i don't have a

481
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: great this is how much or this percentage or all those,

482
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 4: things BUT i would Say rogers starts one, game maybe

483
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 4: plays a, series maybe maybe doesn't play at. All maybe

484
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 4: maybe it depends how he looks on the. Field the

485
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 4: next couple of, weeks sure how comfortable they, are Which

486
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: i'm sure they will. BE i would Think rudolph's mostly

487
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 4: your preseason. Starter maybe he takes one of those to

488
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 4: half at, Most BUT i think you want to Play

489
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 4: howard A. TON i, mean maybe you have the next

490
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 4: rock Party Dak, Prescott Tom.

491
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 2: Brady probably, not but can he be a serviceable backup

492
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 2: in THE nfl for for ten.

493
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 4: YEARS i mean What i've called him along is he's

494
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 4: the perfect next year's first round. Pick. Caddie, yeah you

495
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 4: know what whoever that guy. Is and maybe they don't

496
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 4: drive from the first, round but let's assume they. Do

497
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 4: he's gonna know Who howard. Is he just won the national.

498
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 4: Title he's gonna have some Carp, blanche you, know a

499
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 4: year ahead of him in the. League perfect. BACKUP i

500
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: can't people that Know howard think he's a future coach

501
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 4: if he wants to be. Right AND i look at

502
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: Like Jason garrett Was akman's, Backup Frank reich Was kelly's,

503
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 4: backup and those two Are hall Of fame. Quarterbacks hopefully

504
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 4: you draft The hall Of fame. Quarterback but the two

505
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 4: GUYS i mentioned his backups are LONGTIME nfl, coaches you

506
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 4: know WHAT i. Mean and we're really really serviceable backups

507
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 4: and great resources for the young pop you, Know LIKE i,

508
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 4: know people are enamored With. Howard they saw a lot

509
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 4: Of Ohio, state they were. Great he had a really

510
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 4: really good. Year but if he's close to WHAT i just, ascribed.

511
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 2: If he turns Into Mason, rudolph it's a six round.

512
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 2: Pick that's a you take that all the, time.

513
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 4: And you Have rudolph under contract this year and. Next

514
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 4: so if the first round pick isn't, Ready rudolph could

515
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 4: be your opening day. Starter or if he fails in week,

516
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,760

Speaker 4: Least you can survive, with you, know, right if.

541
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 2: If Will howard ends up being one of the thirty

542
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: or forty best quarterbacks in the, world.

543

Speaker 4: AWESOME i mean That's.

545
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: Rudolph that's that's based On.

546
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 2: Rudolph he might be a top he might be a

547
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: top thirty quarterback in the, world twenty twenty five quarterback

548
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 2: in the.

549
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 4: World you make a lot of million dollars as the,

550
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 4: player but it's also just a great safety blanket you're gonna.

551
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: Need you're gonna.

552
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: Need when was the last time The steelers won a

553
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: whole season without without going to another?

554
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: Quarterback, yeah because of injury or.

555
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 4: Performance this past year wasn't nearly these, numbers but the

556
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 4: two years previous it was sixty eight and sixty nine

557
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 4: different quarterbacks started games shot. Entirely there's teams like The

558
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 4: browns that.

559
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 3: Had, four which again that's an average of a little

560
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 3: more than two.

561
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 4: Part team exactly exactly.

562
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 3: THIS i could do the simple math on that. ONE

563
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: i had a.

564
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 4: Handful of four's out, there and there's a lot there's

565
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: a handful ones. Too you know that your starter never missed,

566
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 4: time but that stuff's really really.

567
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 2: Valuable the last time that happened for The steelers is

568
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty With BEN i think the last time

569
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: they went they went a whole because the, year the

570
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: nineteen year was the with his injury crazy, year and

571
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: then in twenty, ONE i think he missed just a

572
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: game or two something like. That and then you've had

573
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 2: the you, know kind of the carousel of quarterbacks for

574
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 2: different performance and injury reasons that we've had over the

575
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: last couple of. Seasons but here there was.

576
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 4: Like another way looking at. It Like Blaine, gabbert he

577
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 4: was DRAFTED i don't, know seven.

578
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: Or eight top ten.

579
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: Years it's supposed to be the next great, thing and he.

580
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 4: Wasn't So is that a good. Pick, no of course it's.

581
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 4: Not but that was like twelve years ago and he's

582
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 4: still an. ELITE i mean teams, Stay, yeah But i'm

583
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 4: pretty happy with you was my.

584
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: Two there's a difference between Being Josh rosen and being

585
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: out of the league in a few Years JaMarcus russell

586
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 2: And JaMarcus russell and being out of the league in

587
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: a few years as opposed To, okay maybe you didn't

588
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: live up to the, billing, right but you still had

589
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: a ten twelve YEAR nfl.

590
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 4: Career maybe that's what pick it ends up, doing, Right who,

591
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 4: knows you know WHAT i? Mean, like not everyone's going

592
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 4: to Be Josh allen in my. Homes it's a, hard hard.

593
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 2: Position, yeah AND i think more often than now, Too

594
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 2: like we're seeing The Ryan, tannehill The Gino smith types

595
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 2: where they weren't ready right away and they're obviously not

596
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: Future hall Of famers or anything like, that but they

597
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: can win you a lot of games and they are

598
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: without a, doubt you, know at their at their, time

599
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: like one of the best fifteen, quarterbacks twelve quarterbacks in the.

600
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 4: World Baker mayfield's a great Wa Baker mayfields another overall

601
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 4: pick and went okay For, cleveland and then he had terrible.

602
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: Time Every harol line IN la right all over the.

603
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 4: Place and now he's a top ten ish quarterback you, know.

604
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: Has gone to the playoffs the last two straight, years

605
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: the title playoff.

606
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 4: Win it's a crazy. Position it's incredibly hard to.

607
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: Play, oh IT'S i think the most difficult in all of. Sports,

608
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: yeah it's the most, important and it's why there's such high.

609
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 3: Turnover it's why everyone's looking for.

610
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 2: Him it's, why you, know the guys Like Patrick mahomes

611
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: And Josh allen make you, know more money Than god

612
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 2: whenever it's time for them to get a contract, extension

613
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 2: and they are in the grand scheme of, things they're

614
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 2: all under.

615
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 3: Paid they're under.

616
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 4: Paid. Yeah can you imagine one of those guys hit

617
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 4: the market If Dan moore's making twenty million, year you

618
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 4: know WHAT i, mean.

619
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 3: What if every team in the league could bid For

620
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: patrick mahomes, services.

621
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 4: But he get a hundred million.

622
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: Year maybe that that's a kind of, funny like before
