<v Speaker 2>Our number two with the drive here is we head

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 2>down the home stretch of training Camp twenty twenty six,

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>of course, on the campus of Saint Vincent College West

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Shueler Matt Williamson with you here for another two hours

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 2>and Matt A fun idea was slid across our desk

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:13.320
<v Speaker 2>this morning by our buddies in the video department, Nate

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 2>and TV. Of course, they also all updated their resumes

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 2>to add tarp extraordinaries at a couple of last night

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>and after yes events. Yeah, they tell you what they

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 2>were a little they were a little worn out after

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>all that hard work they had to do out there.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>They came into Sharkis and were like, hey, let me

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 2>see your hands. Oh wow, your hands still feels so soft.

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Look at ours. Ours are callous, rugged, and grizzled like

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>a video guy. Like a video guy. So, so you

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 2>know our buddies Nate and TV in the video department,

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>they did this with make with Mike Persuda and Max Starks.

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 2>It's about a dozen different campies. Okay, so just training

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 2>camp awards, training camp bests of and things like that,

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 2>And so Matt I thought it'd be fun for us

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 2>to run through some of these and give our.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 3>Thoughts, tell them all the things they screwed up exactly right. Okay,

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 3>so how do you know the categy?

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>That's I'm gonna give you the category do you want

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 2>to give answers?

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Criticize theirs? And I actually really like that.

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I really like that. It's much easier to critique than

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 2>it is to create. And Matt and I are gonna

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>sit here with our little red pen and point out

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 2>everything that they did wrong. Number one to lead us off.

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I think this is probably this is the most typical

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 2>type of thing that you get in these type of

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 2>trading camp exercises. Best Rookie Max Starks went with Jeremy Bernard.

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Mike Persuda went with Max Ianachre.

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't think you put on I was going to say,

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 3>is my pick. He's the most valuable. I'm so happy

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 3>about the first round pick, but he hasn't been out

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 3>here in too long. Yeah, you gotta show me. Doesn't

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 3>mean he's the not the best rookie. It's just he

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 3>hasn't done enough.

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 2>I think he's almost an incomplete right in terms of

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>what we see count if you kind of if you

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of just grade off of, you know, Perk happened

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 2>to it would be Max. Sure, but I think it

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 2>becomes a conversation of Jeremy or of Dylan Dalen Everett,

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 2>and I might lean towards Dalan Everett. I thought he

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 2>was very impressive throughout training camp.

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think Rubyo should be mentioned and if

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 3>you would do if you would weigh it like a

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 3>seventh round pick, Robert Spears Jennings, Yeah, yeah, yeah, like

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 3>if it's worth more for a lesser pick. It's not

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 3>dunker Aler's been I mean, the game is ignored. I

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 3>think I'll go with Bernard. But ever it's a good

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:31.959
<v Speaker 3>one too.

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I think I'll go with Everett. Yeah, but I there's

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm just glad that we have some real candidates for

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>that A lot a lot. It's not it's not just

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 2>all it's clearly this guy or all of them have

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of stunk. There's there's meat on that bone, which

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 2>we like. So that's the first one, best rookie, second one.

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 3>Then of course, think that last year Harmon was hurt

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 3>a lot, Caleb wasn't real impressive or wasn't a second

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 3>round pick. You know, like this is a good group

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 3>to pick from.

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 2>And then of course after best rookie up next you

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 2>have best veteran. They both picked the same guy, Zach Fraser.

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 3>Hard argument, hard to argue, hm. I mean, I mean

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Aaron Rodgers looks good.

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wonder if you would consider a Sante

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Samuel Jr.

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 3>I didn't want to pick like low hanging, and.

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 2>He is a veteran. He's been here also for half

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 2>a season. But I I think Zach's a good answer.

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, ask for what they've been asked to do.

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Rogers has been pretty flawless. Now this is easy for him.

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 3>He's throwing on air. I mean he's not avoiding you know,

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 3>Miles Garrett and Micah Parsons out there.

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>It's Steph Curry in an open gym.

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 3>Right right, So this is you know, second nature. But

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.600
<v Speaker 3>in terms of what they've done at camp, Fraser's a

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 3>good choice.

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Fraser is a good choice.

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't think you picked cam or Watt. Yeah, they

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 3>haven't been asked to do much, or the top receivers.

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 2>That's that's some of the positions almost just by the

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.719
<v Speaker 2>nature of the thing, are almost ruled out.

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 3>Like a running back. Yes, that's an important part of

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 3>the position.

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Number three most impactful newcomer, Max Stark, said Robert Tanyan.

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Mike Pursuda said, Michael Pittman Junior.

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 3>I know this doesn't count, but how about a land

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 3>of Roberts coming and start fights and you know, changing

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 3>the whole tone of camp.

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>And one day well said, well said, you know what,

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 2>that's that's funny. That's a good one. Yeah, that's a

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 2>good one. I like Robert Tanyan, I don't know. Pittman

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Junior I think so, but I also think we just

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>have it.

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 3>It's been so always an impactful camp.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, who most impactful newcomer? And I guess that

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 2>technically means not rookie, right, because I think we could mention.

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 3>I was going to say that the rookies count, or

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 3>I assume I mean, Dean looks good.

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>That's a good that's a good one. Actually, that's a really.

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 3>Good brisker looks good.

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Dean looked those first few days of acclamation pair. I

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.320
<v Speaker 2>think Dean's a I think Dean's a good call because

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 2>you can't like, you can't go with you can't go

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 2>with Precodoubtle or anybody like that. At this point, Uh,

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I like Robert Tanyan. But the answer might be.

0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 3>Game I have might go Dean.

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>And then the fourth category was biggest disappointment with the

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 2>caveat of this is something that happened as opposed to

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 2>a player not measuring up. That would be my answer

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>would be the injury.

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 3>Salivating for him to get back on the field, and

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 3>every day it's gonna happen, and I get disappointed.

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Max said the biggest disappointment was the weather PURSUITA said,

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.839
<v Speaker 2>the biggest disappointment was the lack of tackling. I do

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 2>like that from pursuit.

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.679
<v Speaker 3>Okay, they're taking those from from.

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Our standpoint, I get that. I get that certainly. I

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 2>think it's definitely barely getting to see any of Max that.

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I would, I'm not going Max a hard time.

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 3>It starts not. The weather was good, yeah, these last time,

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 3>but I mean compared to every other you get to

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 3>get a rain er two. I don't think we're gonna

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 3>go down as this was the worst weather one in

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 3>training camp history or anything. I think there's more on

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:08.840
<v Speaker 3>the positive side weather wise than negative.

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 2>It's good they had those morning practices this year.

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 3>True, they've danced around the range a little bit.

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Biggest concern is up next, and Max said it was

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 2>linebacker before the Land and Roberts signing. Pursuda said this

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>defense and stopping the stopping the run for the defense.

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say the run game, I.

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Might go offensive line, and just because of that.

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 3>Was where I leaned originally, and then I wanted to

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 3>get more specific.

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I know, I think you and I and I shared

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 2>this with you before training camp on one of our

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>last couple of shows before we came out here before

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 2>we had a little bit of a break and then

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>came out here. I say biggest concern offensive line, because

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I want them to be elite.

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and my hopes are really hot.

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>And all the all the high hopes for this team,

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 2>and they won the division last year. The rosters a

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 2>little bit better this year. Could they take a step forward?

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Could they you know, end up winning a playoff game

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>or two? To me, that all starts. The offensive line

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 2>has to be elite if you want this season to

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>be better than last year, better than ten wins in

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>a first round playoff loss. I think that offensive line

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>has to be elite. And it was only one.

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Preseason absolutely, and I think it will be, but it's

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 3>not now and.

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 2>It was only one preseason game. But they struggled, and

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 2>I think to be that elite offensive line, Maxi Honichure

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 2>has to be part of the equation.

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And it's understandable though, because the right side line

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 3>moved left side. I mean, Fraser is the only constant, Yes, yes,

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 3>to think that it's going to.

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not mashing the panic button yet or anything, right,

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.560
<v Speaker 2>And that's not a concern in the sense of like,

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 2>oh my gosh, I think these guys are going to

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 2>be a disaster. It's a concern of I need that

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to be a strength for this team and we just

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 2>haven't seen it yet.

0:08:55.000 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 3>So last night there were a bunch of media folks

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 3>Sharky's of.

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Course, we had a good old time last year.

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I chatted with a lot of dudes, and

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 3>it shocked me. And I'm not giving any of them

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 3>a hard time. They're all actually very good their job,

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 3>and I consider them all friends. That not everyone in

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 3>that whole building knew how bad the Steelers fourth quarter

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.839
<v Speaker 3>defense is so and out of my way this morning,

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 3>after practice was canceled to do another DK podcast I

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 3>do every day to let the world know that this

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 3>was as bad as any fourth quarter defense since the

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 3>year two thousand and with the light of camp is over,

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 3>do we feel better about the fourth quarter defense getting better?

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 3>And I've prefaced it by saying, this is truly a

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 3>nowhere to go but up situations. I don't think they're

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 3>gonna be six hundred thought of six hundredth or whatever

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 3>in the two thousands. They will get better, but it

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 3>will it get better enough, And to me, in order

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 3>to do so, you need help from the offense, running

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 3>the football and eating and that was the portion. There

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 3>was like three things. I thought that in order to

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.120
<v Speaker 3>get the fourth quarter defense better, these things have to

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 3>happen in one of them's time of possession, and that's

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 3>helped from the offense. I felt better about all the

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 3>defensive things come into place than saying this is going

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 3>to be a successful running game. This is gonna be

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.319
<v Speaker 3>a twelfth best running game in the league because when

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 3>they have them battle with the defense, the defense is won.

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.719
<v Speaker 3>They didn't run the ball well in that game, and

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.160
<v Speaker 3>the on line concerns there's still a work in progress.

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 3>Can this be a good run game? I don't know.

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 3>Part of it's the nature of the part of the nature. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean if Warren were shrugging people off and taking

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 3>it to the house, I feel better about it. But

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 3>that's not something they're gonna do.

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:46.680
<v Speaker 2>We'll have to wait and see, wait and see approach

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 2>with that, Matt. As we continue to wait and see

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 2>this Saint Vincent practice that's unfold in front of us

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 2>as well, to get out of starting to get moving

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 2>up next, Matt camp sleeper and both Pursuda and Starks

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 2>picked Gabe.

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.440
<v Speaker 3>Rubio that's tough to argue. And again when you.

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Go, when you go in the true sense of sleeper,

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 2>it can't you know, it can't be.

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Jeremy but hard right jaml b or even doubt, like yeah, right,

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 3>what sleepers are a weird word?

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 2>They are?

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 3>They are they sleep When sleepers were a kid, when

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.559
<v Speaker 3>before the internet nobody knew about them?

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Or like a U d F A like Jalen Warren

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 2>who by the by the second week, everyone's like, who

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 2>is this guy?

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.199
<v Speaker 3>How about Slaughter? Could we need to consider him for

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.440
<v Speaker 3>the corners? But I want him on the practice Jamie Davis. Yeah,

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:35.440
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of a good one too.

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I think Rubio is a real good one. Then Ruby

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 2>as a draft pick, he's a rookie and no one

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 2>really to know about him. Could you throw a Sante

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Samuel Junior in the camp sleeper category two?

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.680
<v Speaker 3>Certainly if there's like an out kicking his coverage situation

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 3>or you know, pleasant surprise I think you mentioned, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's got more pedigree than all those dudes

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 3>we brought up.

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 2>But you know, sure, sure, uh number seven here on

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 2>campies is a player under the radar, Max said Lou

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Nichols pursuita said Riley Noahkowski.

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:15.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm a Nichols fan. He may only be under the

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 3>radar for the preseason, though.

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 2>This is another one.

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:17.959
<v Speaker 4>Man.

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 2>It's tough because, yeah, these are these type of you know, uh,

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.560
<v Speaker 2>superlatives or whatever you want to call it, are easier

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>to give out when there's live football happening in front.

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Of Yeah, what about sure the radar.

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:33.719
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:37.679
<v Speaker 3>There's a perfect reason why he's under the radar. I

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 3>can't remember the damn safety's name again that we couldn't

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Jenkins Jenkins. I think he's I always want to call

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 3>him Hawkins for some reason. That's why I always had

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 3>to take I don't know why. I think he could

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 3>be a real contributor on this team and he didn't.

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean, he's new to camp. I think that that

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 3>could be one. I kind of want to go with

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 3>a depth defensive line. Now. I know Benton just got

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 3>eighteen million a year, but I mean he is Could

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 3>we be sleeping on him as true impact on the

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 3>season if he's not even quote a starter?

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Maybe d Day as well.

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.959
<v Speaker 3>I was thinking him too, Yeah, Sebastian Joseph Day, one

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 3>of those fourth fifth Linemen, and I'm not even sure

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 3>it's fair to Bent to call him the fourth I mean,

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 3>he's more valuable than why Black, but he's not a nose.

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.959
<v Speaker 3>Could be real impactful.

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, player poised for a breakout is up next.

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Starks goes with a Sante Samuel. Persuda goes with Pat Fryarmuth.

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 2>I think those are both a very good answer.

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, friar Moth to met.

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.719
<v Speaker 2>Samuel would probably be mine, but I think those are

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:41.840
<v Speaker 2>both really good answers.

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 3>I really think his usage targets production will go up.

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Friar Mouth out of the slot in particular.

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Both both both good answers there. Yeah, hardest worker at

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 2>camp Max goes Robert Spears Jennings. Persuda goes Aaron Rodgers.

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:01.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm going ed Troop.

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:06.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm going ed True. That's a great answer, that's an

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>outstanding answer. I'm going I'm going Ed Troop and the

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 2>grounds crew people who are.

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 3>Out there with the tarp yesterday.

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 2>That's that's great answer. Ed Troop gets our hardest worker

0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>award here all the camp. He's our guy hosting, producing, engineering.

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 3>Doing it all. Get taking walks. I mean he's all

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 3>over the.

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Place, transport and equipment around. Yep, he's uh. He has

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 2>certainly been our MVP.

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 3>I dare anyone to beat that answer.

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 2>That's a great one. A few more of these left

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 2>best position battle at camp. Max says right tackle, PURSUITA

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 2>says backup quarterback. I think those are both outstanding answers.

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 3>All great answers. I'm gonna go a third receiver though.

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Third receiver.

0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it felt like Roman was in the league until

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:51.960
<v Speaker 3>the game.

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 2>You can't say third running back because not just the

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 2>nature of the beast.

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 3>And I wouldn't even say like starting running back because

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure that's a battle. I think they're just

0:14:59.120 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 3>gonna both.

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Also, I think the right tackle one. That's a good

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 2>answer for Max, and you expect that from an offensive

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 2>lineman too, But that would, I think be more interesting

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 2>if we would have seen Iancher throughout this he.

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Didn't miss any time, it might not even still be

0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 3>a battle. But right now it's just on pause.

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Good good call. I think it has to be wide

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 2>receiver three Jermy and and Roman, but backup quarterbacks are

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 2>really good one too, and how that whole pecking order

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 2>plays out. Let's see two more left here. Best training

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 2>camp bounce back, Max said yet to be seen and

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 2>pursued a set of Sante Samuel Jr.

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 3>Samuel wasn't here last camp, though he wasn't that's true.

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.400
<v Speaker 3>I guess I don't quite understand the parameters of the category.

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking bounce back from last camp to.

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Here, last camp to hear, or maybe maybe that didn't

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 2>have the best end of the season, something like that.

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.640
<v Speaker 3>He'd be the one you wanted it to be Calber Roman,

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 3>and I think it's Roman, Yes, yeah, yes.

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 2>And then finally the last one, best training camp personality,

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Max Starks.

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 3>You're looking at him, this handsome pair in the booth

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 3>right now, the drive.

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how handsome we are with yeah, soaking well.

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 3>We got TV's video and I the best and.

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Best camp personality, Max, once again, loyal to his cause.

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Goes Jennings Dunker Persuda goes a Landon Roberts.

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Roberts is hard, dark, Roberts is very hard for you

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 3>have to pick a player, Yeah.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Eldon Roberts after what he did yesterday. I tell you

0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 2>what though, Mason McCormick's always another one man.

0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 3>He I know you and I are, Oh yeah, you

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 3>want him on your side.

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 2>You and I are mostly up in the press box

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 2>during practices. You get a better view. You're insulated from

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 2>the elements. There's not a million people that you're trying

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 2>to walk around and look around and all those things.

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 2>But I do every training camp still, I like to

0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 2>go down there two or three times because you just

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.320
<v Speaker 2>get a different perspective. You can hear more from the coaches,

0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 2>you can hear more from the players. Mason McCormick's another

0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>one of those guys. Man, he's like, oh yeah, he's

0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 2>all he's always yapping at somebody.

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 3>He's got someone to back all the time.

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's It's exactly it.

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 3>I think I called him Jay Coffield last night, you know,

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 3>like he's the first one in the power to protect

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 3>the stars. I mean, you need those dudes.

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes you do. So he would be he'd be on

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the list there for the camp personality. But it's hard

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.360
<v Speaker 2>to argue with Landon Roberts after what he did upon arrival.

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, he made an impact.

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.119
<v Speaker 2>Quickly making his presence known. Hey guys, I'm sorry. Nobody

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 2>told me that this was a different training camp rule

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 2>all right, you know, And it's funny enough it was

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 2>him and Mason McCormick, who were kind of at the

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.720
<v Speaker 2>at the center of all that. So, Matt, that is

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 2>the that's the campies PURSUITA and Max their lists of

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.640
<v Speaker 2>twelve different training camp awards.

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Who are missing folk.

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:40.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let us know if any of those if we

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.159
<v Speaker 2>had a glaring omission, and we will be happy to

0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 2>uh to bring that into the conversation. West Juler, Matt Williamson.

<v Speaker 2>Back of the booth here as we roll along another

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 2>beautiful day Saint Vincent College, unfortunately for us and for

0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 2>everyone who was planning to attend, Steelers calling it today

0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.879
<v Speaker 2>due to weather and giving the guys a little bit

0:18:59.880 --> 0:19:02.600
<v Speaker 2>of an early release, Matt, that was always the best feeling.

0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:04.680
<v Speaker 2>And when you were growing up if you got to

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.640
<v Speaker 2>leave school early, yeah, if you were, you know, you're

0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:10.280
<v Speaker 2>working at your job and you're scheduled from three until

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.719
<v Speaker 2>ten o'clock and at eight thirty, why don't you take off?

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:14.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, we had a bit of a slow night.

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you take off early? That's that's always the

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 2>best and uh And that was the case for the

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 2>guys today. And with that though, we got a little

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.920
<v Speaker 2>bit more of a lengthy kind of statement and press conference,

0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 2>if you will, for Mike McCarthy, some updates on health

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.119
<v Speaker 2>status for guys like Maxie Honatchor that we've been talking about,

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 2>and just where the team kind of goes from here.

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Still with two preseason games ahead and obviously a few

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 2>weeks of practice before the regular season opener, here's what

0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:44.320
<v Speaker 2>the head coach had to say earlier.

0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, here you have to juggle what you're doing. What's

0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 4>your thought process, Mike, Well, we're gonna break camp early.

0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, in some ways disappointed to leave here because

0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 4>this is such a great environment for us to train in.

0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's disappointing the f and just because somebody

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.760
<v Speaker 4>that those are our best practices when everybody's out there.

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.200
<v Speaker 4>But just based off the weather, we you know, we've

0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.960
<v Speaker 4>been kicking this thing around all morning. Uh So we're

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:14.400
<v Speaker 4>basically just gonna flip flip our days. So we're gonna

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.880
<v Speaker 4>break camp today. Use we have a transition day built

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 4>in so more so the support staff and everything that

0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:24.920
<v Speaker 4>comes up here, I'll be able to We'll get moved

0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.119
<v Speaker 4>back here today and they'll have all day tomorrow to

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:30.200
<v Speaker 4>work on it. And Monday schedule we'll go to Wednesdays,

0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:33.800
<v Speaker 4>so we'll get a full day Wednesday, gets some competitive work,

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.920
<v Speaker 4>padded good padded practice you know my game, and get

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.080
<v Speaker 4>another full training camp day you know, on the south

0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:43.920
<v Speaker 4>side Wednesday. Then we'll have the Saturday type practice Thursday,

0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 4>you know, kind of because I'm trying to integrate with

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.479
<v Speaker 4>the end season schedule. It's going to look like for

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 4>our players and our coaches, and then we'll you know,

0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 4>we'll get up Friday, have a walk through and play

0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.359
<v Speaker 4>the game Friday night. We're disappointing then annoying or the office?

0:20:58.680 --> 0:20:59.400
<v Speaker 4>Could I go both?

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.359
<v Speaker 5>I know that there's obviously like the decision would be

0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:05.679
<v Speaker 5>made on multiple levels.

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.400
<v Speaker 6>But does this make you, you know, start to question whether

0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 6>or not it makes sense to come back here in

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:14.080
<v Speaker 6>the future with the number of you know, weather caused adjustments.

0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.760
<v Speaker 4>In the schedule, not at all. I was, you know,

0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:18.680
<v Speaker 4>talking home where I said, you know, I'm actually looking

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.440
<v Speaker 4>forward to next year because I'm gonna I'm gonna enjoy

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:23.760
<v Speaker 4>training camp next year. I just think anytime it's a

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 4>first year, just what all the administrative responsibility and you know,

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 4>going through it the first time, you know, we came

0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:35.960
<v Speaker 4>up and visited a pair just to do the walkthroughs

0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.880
<v Speaker 4>and everything, but just little things. I mean, there's there's

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 4>classrooms I'm gonna flip next year. I mean just you know,

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:43.560
<v Speaker 4>just you want to get it the you know, what's

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 4>you feel is the best classroom environment for your team,

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 4>the best practice environment. But as far as the support staff,

0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 4>the facilities, you know, Saint Vincent's just as a you know,

0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 4>as a whole, it's an a plus. You know, I

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 4>really think this is not only a special place, but

0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 4>this is this is a great place to train a

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 4>football team, you know, just the whole environment and so forth.

0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:09.280
<v Speaker 4>So the only really negative is was, I don't know,

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:10.960
<v Speaker 4>we had to cancel a couple of practice because you know,

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:13.160
<v Speaker 4>our best practices are when when our fans are out there,

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 4>and it's a it's a it's a it's an awesome

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:19.359
<v Speaker 4>environment to be in. So no, I'm you know, players

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.359
<v Speaker 4>might not want to hear us, but we'll see if

0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:23.719
<v Speaker 4>we can stay longer next year. So I mean it's uh,

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:26.840
<v Speaker 4>and I've done it different ways, you know. It's you know,

0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 4>and really not controlling the preseason schedule factors in the

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 4>really I know in my experiences how long you stay

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 4>at camp, you know when you come back, So that's

0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:39.719
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of a moving target. But yeah, this, uh,

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.280
<v Speaker 4>Saint Vincent's is a is an a plus. Is there

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:44.679
<v Speaker 4>anything you could learn more here at Saint Vincent than

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:45.879
<v Speaker 4>practicing on the South School?

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:52.600
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, Group dynamics, everybody together, you know, you know, you

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:55.680
<v Speaker 4>have people living in North Hills, East and South Hills.

0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 4>So I mean it's you got you have a lot

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 4>more responsibility when you're back home, so you know, we

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:06.680
<v Speaker 4>can really really knuckle down and focus on football. You know,

0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 4>the conversations uh these men have you know, at dinner,

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's at night, round the pool table, all

0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:16.159
<v Speaker 4>those things at home in Derby. I mean you just

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.880
<v Speaker 4>yes to me. To me, training camp is critical, critical

0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 4>for your for your football team. I've I've I've been

0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:26.879
<v Speaker 4>involved with training camp at home, but you know, but

0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:29.000
<v Speaker 4>they did stay in the dorms. So I just think

0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 4>the ability to have everybody together, you know, going away

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:34.399
<v Speaker 4>to camp, I think it's special. I think it's it

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:37.639
<v Speaker 4>gives you a real shot to you know, start off

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 4>the season the right way. Is it simple to say

0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:42.640
<v Speaker 4>that Landon showed up and think that the tensions got

0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:46.639
<v Speaker 4>kind of heat up or physical? I think his you know,

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:49.400
<v Speaker 4>his style play and you know we you know, it's

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:53.200
<v Speaker 4>just uh, you know, there's there's many years and in

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:55.360
<v Speaker 4>my time in this league that that was that that's

0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 4>that's how you practice, you know. But if you know,

0:23:58.400 --> 0:23:59.880
<v Speaker 4>we we have a role, if you know, you see

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:03.040
<v Speaker 4>I see you, and we take that shot. But we don't.

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:05.680
<v Speaker 4>We don't take shots on on our teammates where the

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 4>guy can't see you. So that's that's that's that's the

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.280
<v Speaker 4>difference of what we're trying to do. Uh. And it's

0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:12.280
<v Speaker 4>more for player safety.

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.440
<v Speaker 5>As you mentioned, we we saw some different offensive line

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 5>combinations yesterday. Was that more preparing for different situations that

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:22.640
<v Speaker 5>might arise during the season or do you still feel

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.320
<v Speaker 5>like that's an unsettled and unresolved competition.

0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:27.840
<v Speaker 4>Between a couple of I think it's both. I mean,

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:29.919
<v Speaker 4>it's you know, we got to decide if we're going

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:33.440
<v Speaker 4>to get into left side training, right side training, you know,

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:36.680
<v Speaker 4>flip and tackle for tackle, you know, I think it

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 4>really that really for me is always going back to

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:41.359
<v Speaker 4>the draft process. I mean that's why your draft tackles,

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:43.680
<v Speaker 4>and that's why I learned it as a young coach,

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:47.399
<v Speaker 4>and because you ideally like to bring a player in

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:50.480
<v Speaker 4>having you know, learned the left guard, left tackle, you know,

0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:53.960
<v Speaker 4>right card, right tackle, because in its footwork with Transferraezer,

0:24:54.040 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, it's it's tough to I mean it's tough

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:57.639
<v Speaker 4>to see with Prodert, you know, forgot to go from

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:01.879
<v Speaker 4>left tackle and turn around and play right two days later. So, uh,

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:03.639
<v Speaker 4>just working all those different culminations.

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Mike, are you seeing young receivers take advantage of opportunities.

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:10.440
<v Speaker 4>With DK and Bittman? Definitely, Yeah, definitely, Jeremy, Max and

0:25:10.560 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 4>they they'd definitely Roman. I I think those guys are

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, they've stepped up. You know, Cayden had big

0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:19.080
<v Speaker 4>play there in the game, so we just gotta get

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.800
<v Speaker 4>him to clean up his you know, his every day stuff.

0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:23.920
<v Speaker 4>You know, he's a young guy that it's got to

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 4>do a better job in the mental area. But uh, yeah,

0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:28.880
<v Speaker 4>I think all those guys are you know, are progressing.

0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Mike.

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 7>You worked really close with the quarterbacks all throughout camp.

0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:35.080
<v Speaker 7>You talked about the you know, off the off the

0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 7>field stuff that you guys are able to do in

0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:39.080
<v Speaker 7>those moments. What kind of opportunities did you take as

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:41.159
<v Speaker 7>a coach to get to know your quarterback room, especially

0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:42.080
<v Speaker 7>the younger quarterbacks.

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:45.320
<v Speaker 4>You know, well, I, you know number one, I I

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 4>I think it's real important cause I you know, I

0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:49.760
<v Speaker 4>was that guy a long time ago. That quarterback coach

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 4>is important in this process. Tom Martin does an outstanding job,

0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 4>but it's a room. Uh there's a philosophy, you know,

0:25:57.240 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 4>of how it's done. Uh, it's been placed a long

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 4>time toom's played in that philosophy. You know, you're not

0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:05.159
<v Speaker 4>he's coaching in it. I haven't Aaron in theres Uh.

0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:09.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, incredible. You know, every day he wakes up,

0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:12.520
<v Speaker 4>he contributes to not only today, but the future of

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:15.240
<v Speaker 4>all quarterback room. That that's you know, that's a very

0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 4>unique opportunity to have in the quarterback room. And I

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.480
<v Speaker 4>think the young guys Mason and Crude included. I know

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 4>he's nine years in or so, but it's it's it's

0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 4>it's really unique to be able to ask questions about

0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:32.720
<v Speaker 4>a specific concept or a footwork or a read and

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 4>you're talking to the guy that has twenty thousand reps

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:39.920
<v Speaker 4>in you know, over his whole career in this offense.

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:42.960
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, so you know out there, I'm actually going

0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:44.720
<v Speaker 4>right from here to meet with the two young quarterbacks.

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 4>So we're gonna we're gonna have a meeting and just

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 4>some things we want to talk about, you know, for

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 4>this week. Is it encouraging?

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:53.600
<v Speaker 6>You know, we were asking Drew or Drew's asking other

0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 6>night about sort of the quarterbacks school stuff, and now

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:57.680
<v Speaker 6>he's swarted to break himself and he said, well, I

0:26:57.720 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 6>think my footwork was kind of bad in a couple

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:03.440
<v Speaker 6>of spots. He's sort of auto corrected himself in the moment.

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:04.959
<v Speaker 6>But when you look at the film, I mean, how

0:27:05.040 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 6>much of those fundamentals that you've been harvey on since

0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 6>a guy here has he sort of had started to becoming.

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 4>EXTINCTD right now. I think the most important point there is,

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:15.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, the point you made in your question is

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 4>you know he's he corrected himself. He knew it right away.

0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:22.000
<v Speaker 4>So and that's that's more than half the battle. Because

0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:24.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, everybody teaches footwork a little differently. Everybody teaches

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:26.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, you know people say, oh they run the

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:28.639
<v Speaker 4>same plays they run, you know, the places are similar.

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:31.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't. I don't disagree with it. For everyone's for

0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:33.960
<v Speaker 4>vertical schemes, you know, strong side flows, the weak side floods,

0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:36.679
<v Speaker 4>and but we all teach it a little differently. You know, it's, uh,

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 4>there's history and that goes into it. But he's you know,

0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:44.240
<v Speaker 4>the ability to auto correct and and have a clear

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 4>understanding and that that's important and that's why we do

0:27:47.119 --> 0:27:49.879
<v Speaker 4>the footwork drills over and over again. But he's a

0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:51.960
<v Speaker 4>very stute. You know, quarterback, he's played a lot of

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:54.240
<v Speaker 4>He's played a lot of quarterback. I mean this, the

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:56.200
<v Speaker 4>young man's been playing football, you know, quarterback for a

0:27:56.280 --> 0:27:58.120
<v Speaker 4>long long time. And you can see it. He's he's

0:27:58.160 --> 0:28:00.760
<v Speaker 4>thrown the football a lot his life, you know, go

0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:04.240
<v Speaker 4>back to his high school days. So and that that's important.

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:06.159
<v Speaker 4>That's all all the things you look at when you

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:09.040
<v Speaker 4>look the draft a young man. But you know, we

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:12.359
<v Speaker 4>we got to two fine young quarterbacks here. You know,

0:28:12.520 --> 0:28:16.879
<v Speaker 4>I'm excited about their future. I think obviously schedule changes

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:19.879
<v Speaker 4>aside this week of the preseason, going in game one,

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:22.280
<v Speaker 4>game two, what do you look for most from your guys?

0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:24.840
<v Speaker 4>Take a step you know clearly you know there will

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:26.720
<v Speaker 4>be a message I did. You know, I'll wait to

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:30.000
<v Speaker 4>all the informations in Wednesday's practice. This was supposed to be,

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:32.159
<v Speaker 4>this was an important practice. This was a practice I

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:34.840
<v Speaker 4>was looking forward to today. Uh, yesterday was our last

0:28:34.920 --> 0:28:39.440
<v Speaker 4>installed practice, our mental evaluation MS and MS was the

0:28:39.480 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 4>lowest of the training camp. So you know, we're making progress.

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:44.280
<v Speaker 4>I felt really good coming off the field yesterday. The

0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 4>intensities was where it needed to be. So you know,

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:51.080
<v Speaker 4>I just want to, you know, get that you know,

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:54.240
<v Speaker 4>get that that work on Wednesday in the can and

0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:56.080
<v Speaker 4>then I'll make it clear what you know, what the

0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:58.360
<v Speaker 4>next step is that that we're looking to take as

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 4>a football team. So we talked about establishing the play style,

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, the Steeler Way, and you know it's been

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 4>in been in place here since the seventies, you know,

0:29:07.560 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 4>so I thought our guys you know, took that to

0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 4>the field last week, and but now we need more

0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:15.320
<v Speaker 4>discipline with it. So I mean that that will definitely

0:29:15.360 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 4>be part of the message. You know, we had to

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:20.080
<v Speaker 4>you know that that many you know, personal files. You

0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:21.720
<v Speaker 4>can't wait, you can't winn to you know, you can't

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:25.880
<v Speaker 4>win a game with that, that type of performance in

0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 4>the area of penalties. So you know that, So that'll

0:29:27.880 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 4>be part of the message as we go into the

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 4>game Friday. Two more rookie first round pick er.

0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:36.160
<v Speaker 5>Big part of camp is that challenge organizationally and is

0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:38.480
<v Speaker 5>there anything at that position particular he can do mentally

0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 5>and is there any chance to be seeing him back.

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:43.720
<v Speaker 4>To their progress? Uh, you know, he's making progress. You know,

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:45.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't see him playing this week. You know, it

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:48.560
<v Speaker 4>based off of you know, because he wasn't scheduled to

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:53.960
<v Speaker 4>practice today, but who knows, you know, maybe next forty

0:29:54.000 --> 0:29:55.640
<v Speaker 4>eight hours if he can, if he can get in

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:57.600
<v Speaker 4>there wednesday, we'll you know, we'll see what happens. So,

0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 4>but you know, it's a uh, injuries are they're they're

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:06.200
<v Speaker 4>challenge to the individual because because they're missing the combination work.

0:30:06.240 --> 0:30:07.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, you see, you see the work, the amount

0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:10.240
<v Speaker 4>of work that you're able to get in training camp.

0:30:10.520 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, just look at the one on one pass

0:30:11.920 --> 0:30:13.440
<v Speaker 4>for us. When you're able to go pass for us,

0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:16.040
<v Speaker 4>we call it two spot. When you're able to have

0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 4>the numbers that you have in training camp, everybody's healthy,

0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, instead of a guy getting a couple of

0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:22.560
<v Speaker 4>reps of getting six seven, eight reps. And and we're

0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 4>trying to make sure, you know, we we increase the

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 4>number of cameras that are out there on the field,

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:29.640
<v Speaker 4>so we're capturing all the video and we're trying to

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:32.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, build you know, teaching progressions for each player

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:36.200
<v Speaker 4>so in every aspect of their fundamental you know, the

0:30:36.280 --> 0:30:39.160
<v Speaker 4>fundamentals for their positions. So I mean that's and Max

0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:42.480
<v Speaker 4>is missing that. So it doesn't you know, any player

0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:46.479
<v Speaker 4>would you know, benefit from this type of atmosphere. Okay,

0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 4>last one, coach, how have you bounced the competitive energy

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:54.720
<v Speaker 4>flow while also mitigating you know, unnecessary restoring this team

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 4>coach it. It's part of practice ethic we have. We

0:30:57.640 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 4>have a video that's Joe Witz. You know, my assistant

0:31:00.760 --> 0:31:03.400
<v Speaker 4>head coach does a tremendous job. You know, I've given

0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:06.360
<v Speaker 4>Joe some of the head coach responsibilities that I've done

0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 4>in the past. He doesn't. He does an incredible job

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:12.760
<v Speaker 4>with it. So you know, we're you know, there's discipline

0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 4>and everything you do, you know, is there's discipline in

0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 4>the classroom environment. You know, our class is a lot

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 4>coaches put a tremendous amount of time energy the video department,

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:25.120
<v Speaker 4>our new video directors outstanding seeming has a bright future

0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:27.239
<v Speaker 4>in this league. So these guys grind away. We got

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 4>all that, all those extra cameras and so forth. But

0:31:29.840 --> 0:31:32.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, the pump add into you know, the cutups

0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:35.160
<v Speaker 4>that we need, you know, and get it flipped timely

0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:37.400
<v Speaker 4>fashion so we can watch it right after the practice.

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:40.160
<v Speaker 4>You know, there's a short break there and we're back

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:42.760
<v Speaker 4>in the meetings at three o'clock. So all that, all

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:46.240
<v Speaker 4>that plays into it. So I mean, you know, that's

0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:49.600
<v Speaker 4>what's that's what's that's why can training camp so important? Right?

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:50.440
<v Speaker 4>Thank you.

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Mike McCarthy there speaking wrapping up his first go at

0:31:57.280 --> 0:32:00.520
<v Speaker 2>this Saint Vincent College training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers,

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:02.520
<v Speaker 2>already talking about how we can't wait to get back

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:03.040
<v Speaker 2>next year.

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:04.440
<v Speaker 3>Matt, Yeah, that's pretty cool.

0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine, you know, sometimes there's coach speak and

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 2>then a lot of times there's just honesty. And I

0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 2>would your first time, you probably don't enjoy it like

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:15.960
<v Speaker 2>you will the you know, the additions of this to

0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:17.560
<v Speaker 2>come for Mike McCarthy, because.

0:32:17.320 --> 0:32:19.160
<v Speaker 3>I would think you appreciate it more over the years.

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Like this is the first one, this is my

0:32:21.000 --> 0:32:23.400
<v Speaker 2>first training camp. I gotta be all business. I gotta

0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 2>get work done. You probably don't have as much time

0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:27.720
<v Speaker 2>to kind of sit back and, as you say, appreciate

0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 2>it and the history and the pageantry and all the

0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 2>things that happen here.

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 3>But and all that stuff wonderful. But the job is

0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:36.720
<v Speaker 3>to get the football team as good as possible to

0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 3>try to win the Super Bowl exactly, And with all

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:42.000
<v Speaker 3>respect to Joe Green and Chuck Nole, they're not helping you.

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 3>You gotta beat the Ravens and the Bengals and the Browns.

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:47.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, I mean a job to get done here.

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:50.600
<v Speaker 2>A couple more things that the coach McCarthy talked about

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:52.800
<v Speaker 2>there that I want to dig in further when we

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:55.240
<v Speaker 2>return with Matt will do that to close down this

0:32:55.360 --> 0:32:57.560
<v Speaker 2>second hour. You also know what that means. About twenty

0:32:57.600 --> 0:32:59.520
<v Speaker 2>minutes from now, Matt and I will hit your tweets

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:02.200

0:34:05.600 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 2>It's the drive Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network.

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Before we went to break, Matt, we heard from head

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 2>coach Mike McCarthy. Yeah, and obviously plenty in there was,

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:17.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, a good twelve thirteen minutes or so of

0:34:17.800 --> 0:34:20.760
<v Speaker 2>coach on the final day of camp here. But obviously

0:34:20.880 --> 0:34:23.880
<v Speaker 2>what I really wanted to hear in the update that

0:34:23.960 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 2>really stood out to me Matt was, of course along

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:30.040
<v Speaker 2>the lines of Max Ihan a chore. Yeah, and here

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:32.880
<v Speaker 2>was the quote, he's making progress. I don't see him

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:35.360
<v Speaker 2>playing this week. You know, it's based off of he

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 2>wasn't scheduled to practice today, but who knows, you know,

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:41.359
<v Speaker 2>maybe in forty eight hours if he can get out

0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:45.200
<v Speaker 2>there and practice Wednesday, we'll see what happens. End quote.

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:49.279
<v Speaker 2>The first part of that I didn't like because Mike

0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:51.760
<v Speaker 2>McCarthy admitting that if they would have had practice today,

0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't scheduled to practice.

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:55.080
<v Speaker 3>I was really hoping to see him today, and yeah,

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:57.120
<v Speaker 3>but I set two reasons we didn't I.

0:34:57.280 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Do also though, then the back half of that is

0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:01.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe in forty eight hours, if he could get out

0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 2>there Wednesday, we'll see what happens. That at least to me,

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 2>seems like they are keeping the door open and doesn't

0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:09.719
<v Speaker 2>seem likely but certainly not completely closed, that he could

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 2>get some practice time in this week.

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and obviously Mike McCarthy's very savvy with the media,

0:35:15.680 --> 0:35:17.479
<v Speaker 3>and he's a smart man, and he's been an NFL

0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 3>head coach for a very long time. But I bet

0:35:20.719 --> 0:35:23.320
<v Speaker 3>he regrets a little a week or two ago saying

0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:25.800
<v Speaker 3>that Monday name. You know, when Monday came out of

0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:27.719
<v Speaker 3>his mouth, all of us says, oh, he'll be back

0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:30.800
<v Speaker 3>in a day, He's fine. Probably should have phrased it

0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:33.400
<v Speaker 3>something along the lines of day to day, because he

0:35:33.600 --> 0:35:36.880
<v Speaker 3>really seems day to day, you know, is he feeling

0:35:36.920 --> 0:35:40.759
<v Speaker 3>good enough today? Well maybe tomorrow. That doesn't seem week

0:35:40.840 --> 0:35:43.759
<v Speaker 3>to week or in your reserve or any of those

0:35:43.800 --> 0:35:46.200
<v Speaker 3>type of things. It just seems like we'll see how

0:35:46.320 --> 0:35:48.600
<v Speaker 3>each day goes and how he wakes up and what

0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:54.120
<v Speaker 3>the training staff thinks. So I'm excited. I mean, unfortunately,

0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:55.719
<v Speaker 3>A couple of us were talking about at the bar

0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:59.879
<v Speaker 3>last night that man, they've had some early draft pick

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:02.480
<v Speaker 3>bad luck in terms of training camp, you know, and

0:36:02.560 --> 0:36:04.920
<v Speaker 3>the guys you want to see most just haven't been

0:36:05.640 --> 0:36:07.560
<v Speaker 3>on these fields as much as you'd like the last

0:36:07.600 --> 0:36:08.120
<v Speaker 3>couple of years.

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:12.600
<v Speaker 2>No, they have not. Derek Harmon last year, Faltanu Faltonu

0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:16.239
<v Speaker 2>the year before that, Roderick Jones the year before that.

0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:18.200
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't as bad as the others. But I think

0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:19.239
<v Speaker 2>all those guys at the.

0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:22.279
<v Speaker 3>Elbow year the elbow it was did that like in

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:23.359
<v Speaker 3>seven shots? All right?

0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:24.200
<v Speaker 4>Yep, yep.

0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:26.839
<v Speaker 2>So it has been. It has been unfortunate. But yeah,

0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 2>if not this Friday, in this week, hopefully he's back

0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:33.000
<v Speaker 2>for that final kind of week in pre well I

0:36:33.000 --> 0:36:37.360
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't say final week, but final preseason game and able

0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:40.239
<v Speaker 2>to still have a few weeks to potentially hop on

0:36:40.320 --> 0:36:42.839
<v Speaker 2>that moving train and get his uh, get his feet

0:36:42.920 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 2>underneath him.

0:36:43.719 --> 0:36:45.600
<v Speaker 3>It is a total reading the tea leaves, and maybe

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:48.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing it through optimistic glasses, but I'm betting right

0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:52.239
<v Speaker 3>now that he plays in the preseason probably game three.

0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:55.719
<v Speaker 3>Would you take that? Yes or no? I don't say

0:36:55.760 --> 0:36:57.080
<v Speaker 3>that odds.

0:36:57.440 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that's fair. Yeah, yeah, but I think it's

0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:01.759
<v Speaker 2>a think if you it's a true coin flip. And

0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:07.319
<v Speaker 2>again if he pass one, if he practices, plus if

0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:11.839
<v Speaker 2>he practices on Wednesday, then I'd say, oh yeah, even

0:37:11.880 --> 0:37:13.800
<v Speaker 2>if you know, even if he doesn't play Friday against

0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:15.880
<v Speaker 2>against the Jets, he'll play in the following week against

0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:18.080
<v Speaker 2>the Bills. So that's that would kind of be the

0:37:18.160 --> 0:37:20.520
<v Speaker 2>kicker for me is if he doesn't practice this week

0:37:20.600 --> 0:37:24.360
<v Speaker 2>then and doesn't play Friday night, who knows. Yeah, he

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:26.359
<v Speaker 2>could be back Monday and and you know and play

0:37:26.360 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 2>against Buffalo on Thursday.

0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:29.920
<v Speaker 3>But I just I I wish I said it was

0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:30.839
<v Speaker 3>a Thursday game too.

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.160
<v Speaker 2>It is a Thursday game to pretty quick. You have

0:37:33.360 --> 0:37:35.719
<v Speaker 2>six six days of rest in between there, which really

0:37:35.800 --> 0:37:38.320
<v Speaker 2>means five days because you're not gonna practice on Wednesday.

0:37:38.719 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna have a little walkthrough and then and then

0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:41.600
<v Speaker 2>travel up the Buffalo.

0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:44.360
<v Speaker 3>There's quite as many opportunities I originally thought, until you

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:46.520
<v Speaker 3>brought that up of to prove the team that he

0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:48.560
<v Speaker 3>can get out there for the Bills game. I'm still

0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:50.520
<v Speaker 3>gonna bet, Yes, I bet we see him in the preseason.

0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I hope you're right. I don't have a strong feeling

0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:54.960
<v Speaker 2>or a hunch either way. I just hope you're right,

0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:57.359
<v Speaker 2>because man, that would be a major disappointment.

0:37:57.920 --> 0:37:59.799
<v Speaker 3>Saw him. He was really good, really good, and.

0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:02.239
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to continue watching that every single day.

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Matt.

0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:04.680
<v Speaker 2>We got a few minutes left here in the back

0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:07.320
<v Speaker 2>half of the second hour. We haven't really done a

0:38:07.480 --> 0:38:10.279
<v Speaker 2>news of the day conversation as we typically do this

0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:12.719
<v Speaker 2>time of year, and you want to talk news of

0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:18.960
<v Speaker 2>the day. A massive breaking news decision announcement last night

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:21.760
<v Speaker 2>when one of the best, maybe the best edge rusher

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:25.800
<v Speaker 2>of his generation, but Von Miller expected to sign with

0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:29.759
<v Speaker 2>the Dallas Cowboys. It's nuts, Matt. I didn't realize he

0:38:29.800 --> 0:38:34.080
<v Speaker 2>had nine sacks last year with Washington and he will

0:38:34.120 --> 0:38:37.040
<v Speaker 2>be that part time player. But man, I think for Dallas,

0:38:37.120 --> 0:38:39.799
<v Speaker 2>when you've got some young edge rushers, anytime you can

0:38:39.840 --> 0:38:42.040
<v Speaker 2>add a guy like this, who again is I mean

0:38:42.080 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 2>he's going to trot into the Hall of Fame into

0:38:45.560 --> 0:38:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Canton one day Super Bowl MVP, one of the best

0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:52.319
<v Speaker 2>of his generation, two time Super Bowl champion, seven time

0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:55.560
<v Speaker 2>All Pro Von Miller is a Dallas Cowboy.

0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:58.840
<v Speaker 3>So he went to a and m he grew up

0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:01.640
<v Speaker 3>in Texas. You mentioned it, which I think is dead on.

0:39:01.800 --> 0:39:03.799
<v Speaker 3>They used the first round pick on edge guy this year.

0:39:03.880 --> 0:39:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Obviously Parsons is long gone, second round pick last year.

0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:09.200
<v Speaker 3>It's a young room, but it has a lot of upside.

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he has a Cam Hayward like effect on the

0:39:11.960 --> 0:39:15.000
<v Speaker 3>young pups of you know, this is professional edge rusher,

0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 3>and I think Dallas is in it to win it,

0:39:17.200 --> 0:39:19.360
<v Speaker 3>and I'm really leaning towards picking them to win that division,

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:22.279
<v Speaker 3>although I think Philly's pretty good. He could come in

0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:24.520
<v Speaker 3>and part time duty and still do quite well. We

0:39:24.600 --> 0:39:27.200
<v Speaker 3>were talking about this on my podcast earlier today. I

0:39:27.280 --> 0:39:29.480
<v Speaker 3>guess he had a quote on his podcast or was

0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:33.240
<v Speaker 3>a guest on somebody else's. He's like, and it sounds cocky,

0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:34.839
<v Speaker 3>and I'm sure it is, but I think he might

0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:37.040
<v Speaker 3>be right. He said I can roll out of bed

0:39:37.080 --> 0:39:40.319
<v Speaker 3>and get eight Saxons League. Yeah, I mean, I think

0:39:40.360 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 3>the proof's pretty strong, right right, right.

0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 2>It's it's it's an crazy.

0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:47.759
<v Speaker 3>We're asking him.

0:39:49.120 --> 0:39:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a heck of a landing spot for him.

0:39:51.160 --> 0:39:54.440
<v Speaker 2>As you mentioned, that's that's where he's from. And it

0:39:54.560 --> 0:39:56.720
<v Speaker 2>was the third overall pick I think coming out of Texas.

0:39:56.719 --> 0:39:59.080
<v Speaker 3>A and M something like that loaded draft that Cam

0:39:59.160 --> 0:40:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Newton to Americas.

0:40:01.120 --> 0:40:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Yep. J Green gets to close out his career in

0:40:04.520 --> 0:40:07.160
<v Speaker 2>his home state in all likelihood. A two time Super

0:40:07.200 --> 0:40:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Bowl champion, one time Super Bowl MVP, seven time All Pro,

0:40:10.520 --> 0:40:13.279
<v Speaker 2>eight Pro Bowls, He's played over two hundred games in

0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:16.040
<v Speaker 2>the National Football League, one hundred and thirty eight and

0:40:16.080 --> 0:40:19.320
<v Speaker 2>a half sacks in his career, twenty seven forced fumbles,

0:40:19.760 --> 0:40:22.719
<v Speaker 2>and a gold jacket that will one day certainly be his.

0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:25.359
<v Speaker 3>I'll put him against anybody in the two thousands as

0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:26.040
<v Speaker 3>an EDG rusher.

0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:28.680
<v Speaker 2>He's he. I'm sure there's people you can make a

0:40:28.760 --> 0:40:29.600
<v Speaker 2>viable argument for.

0:40:29.719 --> 0:40:32.720
<v Speaker 3>But Miles Garrett, T. J. Watt, Yeah, I mean absolutely,

0:40:33.080 --> 0:40:33.279
<v Speaker 3>but he.

0:40:33.960 --> 0:40:38.080
<v Speaker 2>I think he's the dude. Matt a news out of

0:40:38.200 --> 0:40:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Miami Chris Bell has been activated a football injury list.

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:44.840
<v Speaker 3>I didn't think he'd be around until, like we Thanksgiving.

0:40:44.960 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 2>We talked about that a lot during the draft process,

0:40:47.280 --> 0:40:51.000
<v Speaker 2>how it's rookie wide receiver out of Louisville, Chrispell. Matt

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:53.320
<v Speaker 2>and I both really liked him as a prospect, but

0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:55.759
<v Speaker 2>the conversation was always you might not get him back

0:40:55.800 --> 0:40:58.680
<v Speaker 2>until the holidays or at least until after Halloween.

0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Which Miami, they're not going toywhere anywhere this year. Perfect.

0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Even if you have the red shirt him for a year,

0:41:03.040 --> 0:41:03.560
<v Speaker 2>who cares?

0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:06.759
<v Speaker 3>But teams that are like man, if I knew he's

0:41:06.800 --> 0:41:09.480
<v Speaker 3>coming back before the season even started, I would take

0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:10.359
<v Speaker 3>him in the first round.

0:41:10.560 --> 0:41:10.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:12.680
<v Speaker 2>A good news for him, good news for Miami, and

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:15.200
<v Speaker 2>certainly unexpected, but good news.

0:41:15.440 --> 0:41:17.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure they'll bring him along slow, but he's gonna

0:41:17.480 --> 0:41:19.600
<v Speaker 3>be on the practice field where they thought there was

0:41:19.719 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 3>I thought there was no chance. I thought he might

0:41:21.239 --> 0:41:21.920
<v Speaker 3>miss the whole year.

0:41:22.760 --> 0:41:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Jets running back Breese Hall suffered a groin injury today,

0:41:27.760 --> 0:41:30.600
<v Speaker 2>but according to head coach Aaron Glenn, quote, I don't

0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:33.400
<v Speaker 2>think it was a big deal end quote, but something

0:41:33.440 --> 0:41:34.440
<v Speaker 2>to monitor going forward.

0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:36.359
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure he wouldn't have played against the Steelers either way,

0:41:36.440 --> 0:41:39.800
<v Speaker 3>but you know, it's more of a fantasy nugget than anything.

0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:41.799
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like he'll probably be ready for the start

0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:42.280
<v Speaker 3>of the season.

0:41:42.800 --> 0:41:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of running backs and Steelers, former Pittsburgh Steeler Najie

0:41:47.920 --> 0:41:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Harris had a visit this afternoon with the New York Giants.

0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:55.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna make this fantasy oriented. I think our boy

0:41:55.360 --> 0:41:59.759
<v Speaker 3>Skettyby is about the most overrated, the most overrated running

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.960
<v Speaker 3>back the league. Like if I've seen some reports from

0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:06.719
<v Speaker 3>Giant speed writers and they're saying Singletary, Tracy and Scattaboo

0:42:06.920 --> 0:42:13.400
<v Speaker 3>are all, you know, like basically co starters, right, they

0:42:13.480 --> 0:42:15.080
<v Speaker 3>might have heard this joke and it's not mine, but

0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:19.880
<v Speaker 3>Skataboo is something. Uh, but how I can remember? I

0:42:20.000 --> 0:42:27.520
<v Speaker 3>just killed the joke. Adam Sandler would say, yeah, I

0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:31.719
<v Speaker 3>should have thought of the name before. Just killed the joke, dude.

0:42:32.640 --> 0:42:36.160
<v Speaker 3>But I think their background danger, keep your keep your

0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:39.840
<v Speaker 3>day job. I think their their backfield is far from certain.

0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:42.319
<v Speaker 3>People look at Skataboo like he's Oh, he's the guy,

0:42:42.400 --> 0:42:45.440
<v Speaker 3>He's the next star. He runs hard, blah, he's got

0:42:45.440 --> 0:42:47.800
<v Speaker 3>off a huge injury. You ran like a four to

0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:51.120
<v Speaker 3>six five to begin with. I'm a little shocknoledge.

0:42:51.160 --> 0:42:52.800
<v Speaker 2>He's still out there though, I am too, and I

0:42:52.880 --> 0:42:55.120
<v Speaker 2>hope it works out for him. Yeah, it was obviously

0:42:55.239 --> 0:42:57.960
<v Speaker 2>disappointing for him last year with the stuff with his

0:42:58.080 --> 0:43:00.480
<v Speaker 2>eye and then injury. You know, go was all four

0:43:00.560 --> 0:43:02.839
<v Speaker 2>years in Pittsburgh without missing a single game and then

0:43:02.920 --> 0:43:05.080
<v Speaker 2>and then has a devastating injury like that, hopefully he

0:43:05.120 --> 0:43:06.919
<v Speaker 2>can bounce back and find somewhere to land.

0:43:07.040 --> 0:43:08.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I would think he will.

0:43:08.640 --> 0:43:12.640
<v Speaker 2>The Minnesota Vikings officially placing Jamal Adams on season ending

0:43:12.840 --> 0:43:15.080
<v Speaker 2>injury reserve about four hours ago.

0:43:15.360 --> 0:43:17.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, signed him recently and then he got hurt and

0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:20.759
<v Speaker 3>tough league, but he his career has been kind of

0:43:20.800 --> 0:43:23.920
<v Speaker 3>a weird one early early pick out LSU. Yeah, traded

0:43:24.239 --> 0:43:27.279
<v Speaker 3>flat out for two first round picks. Great trade by

0:43:27.280 --> 0:43:30.120
<v Speaker 3>the Jets. They didn't make it count. Seattle was able

0:43:30.200 --> 0:43:32.280
<v Speaker 3>to overcome it and still be a really good organization.

0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:36.800
<v Speaker 3>He might be done. I mean he's kind of a

0:43:38.200 --> 0:43:40.719
<v Speaker 3>light linebacker now, which kind of fits his style. But

0:43:41.400 --> 0:43:42.600
<v Speaker 3>a lot of injuries. I don't think a lot of

0:43:42.600 --> 0:43:44.480
<v Speaker 3>people are banging on his door before this injury.

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:47.880
<v Speaker 2>No, and uh, and he's he had a pretty solid career,

0:43:48.440 --> 0:43:52.399
<v Speaker 2>not didn't back. It didn't live up to what where

0:43:52.440 --> 0:43:55.320
<v Speaker 2>he kind of started. But unfortunate for him if this

0:43:55.520 --> 0:43:57.640
<v Speaker 2>is the way that it ends. And then last kind

0:43:57.640 --> 0:43:59.600
<v Speaker 2>of note that I wanted to mention Matt, you and

0:43:59.719 --> 0:44:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I we would spend a ton of time on this,

0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:04.600
<v Speaker 2>but we did, I think, especially before the draft when

0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:06.560
<v Speaker 2>we knew Drew Aller was going to be added to

0:44:06.600 --> 0:44:08.640
<v Speaker 2>the fold. We talked a little bit about the future

0:44:08.640 --> 0:44:13.520
<v Speaker 2>of Anthony Richardson Senior, the former top five, wasn't he Picker? Yeah,

0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:16.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it was fifth overall of the Indianapolis Colts.

0:44:17.080 --> 0:44:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Still so young, I think, only twenty four or twenty

0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:24.840
<v Speaker 2>five years old. According to Adam Schefter, his future remains unclear,

0:44:24.920 --> 0:44:27.440
<v Speaker 2>but all signs point to him remaining with the Colts

0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:28.240
<v Speaker 2>this season.

0:44:29.440 --> 0:44:32.400
<v Speaker 3>I took that as nobody's given him any offers.

0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not like all that means they're they're uncertain

0:44:36.640 --> 0:44:37.799
<v Speaker 2>about Daniel Jones's health.

0:44:38.080 --> 0:44:41.000
<v Speaker 3>No, because they I mean they still have Riley Leonard,

0:44:41.000 --> 0:44:43.120
<v Speaker 3>who I think is ahead of Richardson on the depth chart.

0:44:44.680 --> 0:44:48.080
<v Speaker 3>That's why nobody wants Richardson. Yeah, and maybe they need

0:44:48.120 --> 0:44:50.439
<v Speaker 3>an injury. I mean, most of these camps are full.

0:44:50.520 --> 0:44:53.200
<v Speaker 3>You have the quarterbacks you need. But I'm still in

0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:58.800
<v Speaker 3>the camp of Richardson, even more so McCarthy Panix. I

0:44:58.800 --> 0:45:01.040
<v Speaker 3>don't think McCarthy's probably we're gonna be good. But I mean,

0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:04.760
<v Speaker 3>Richardson has so much ability. I don't think he's a knucklehead.

0:45:04.800 --> 0:45:05.640
<v Speaker 3>He's been injured a lot.

0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, remember some of that stuff about him, like tapping

0:45:08.320 --> 0:45:10.359
<v Speaker 2>out from the game like that too, tired a couple

0:45:10.400 --> 0:45:12.359
<v Speaker 2>of years ago. That strikes me as something that people

0:45:12.360 --> 0:45:14.480
<v Speaker 2>around the league would hate and hold against him forever.

0:45:14.960 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 2>But I don't also don't think that should be enough

0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:19.960
<v Speaker 2>to say for the rest of your career when you're

0:45:20.000 --> 0:45:20.920
<v Speaker 2>so young and you.

0:45:20.960 --> 0:45:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Know you're gonna turn your back on maybe a potential

0:45:23.360 --> 0:45:25.239
<v Speaker 3>starting quarterback you can buy in the cheap because he

0:45:25.280 --> 0:45:28.440
<v Speaker 3>tapped out once. I mean a lot of quarterbacks have

0:45:28.520 --> 0:45:31.680
<v Speaker 3>done a lot worse. I doubt the field and you know, right,

0:45:31.880 --> 0:45:34.160
<v Speaker 3>we know how that works as the league to think

0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:35.399
<v Speaker 3>he has no chance to be good.

0:45:35.520 --> 0:45:37.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Matt he just turned twenty four a couple

0:45:37.960 --> 0:45:40.120
<v Speaker 2>of months ago. Yeah, so he's like a young twenty four.

0:45:40.239 --> 0:45:41.919
<v Speaker 3>I mean, no one bad than I. When the Colts

0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:45.160
<v Speaker 3>drafted him that early, he had the best combine NFL history.

0:45:45.520 --> 0:45:48.799
<v Speaker 3>But everyone on the planet, including the Colts, new boy,

0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:50.840
<v Speaker 3>this is gonna take some time, you know he is.

0:45:51.239 --> 0:45:53.560
<v Speaker 3>He needs all the work you can get, and he

0:45:53.600 --> 0:45:56.400
<v Speaker 3>couldn't get to work because he's always hurt. But he

0:45:56.480 --> 0:45:58.399
<v Speaker 3>still needs to work. I don't know that he's any

0:45:58.480 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 3>different now than he is a prospect, And I know

0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:02.680
<v Speaker 3>that was two or three years ago.

0:46:02.800 --> 0:46:05.880
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy, though, and he just turned twenty four, was

0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:08.400
<v Speaker 2>the fourth overall pick in the twenty twenty three DRECS.

0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:10.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm Shanahan or McVeigh or one of those guys. Just

0:46:10.960 --> 0:46:12.399
<v Speaker 3>come hang out with us for a year and we'll

0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:13.000
<v Speaker 3>see what happens.

0:46:13.320 --> 0:46:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Come to quarterback school, come to quarterback rehab, and we'll

0:46:16.040 --> 0:46:16.600
<v Speaker 2>take care of you.

0:46:16.920 --> 0:46:19.040
<v Speaker 3>Steelers are full, but if they weren't, I'd be like,

0:46:19.200 --> 0:46:21.320
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't mind him running. I mean, if Howard and

0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Aller didn't exist, I would have given you a six

0:46:23.320 --> 0:46:26.080
<v Speaker 3>round pick for Richardson and have him follow Aaron Rodgers

0:46:26.080 --> 0:46:26.480
<v Speaker 3>around like.

0:46:26.440 --> 0:46:28.520
<v Speaker 2>A dog and kee what happened, and no expectations to

0:46:28.600 --> 0:46:30.399
<v Speaker 2>back them up because you got Mason Rudolph still.

0:46:30.440 --> 0:46:32.440
<v Speaker 3>All the pressures off your shoulders and yeah, go to

0:46:33.040 --> 0:46:35.600
<v Speaker 3>quarterback rehab with Shanahan or something.

0:46:36.400 --> 0:46:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Two hours in the books bonus hour. When we return,

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:42.759
<v Speaker 2>we will get to your questions, comments, concerns, and reactions.

0:46:42.800 --> 0:46:46.400
<v Speaker 2>To kick off the five o'clock hour. West Shuler, Matt Williamson,

0:46:46.520 --> 0:46:49.120
<v Speaker 2>It is the drive all part of our ongoing training

0:46:49.160 --> 0:46:52.520
<v Speaker 2>camp coverage. Only one hour left in that ongoing training

0:46:52.560 --> 0:46:55.240
<v Speaker 2>camp coverage. Wow, I know that sounds it sounds crazy

0:46:55.280 --> 0:46:57.759
<v Speaker 2>to say out loud. Huh right here. Steelers Nation Radio

0:46:58.040 --> 0:46:59.360
