Speaker 3: as August rears its head here. Pat Fryer mouth still

18
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 3: down in the end zone talking to some of the

19
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: the journalists that kind of split I always this is

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 3: one of those things, is like you and I we

21
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: are very clearly. We're not dale, we're not pursued a.

22
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like we're not reporters, we're not journalists

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 4: like there is.

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: It's one of those things that I laugh at is

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: people like to use the blanket term media, right, but

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: there's a lot of new It's That's like if you

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: called everybody who worked at a school a teacher, Like,

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: they're not all teachers. There's administrators, there's secretaries, there's principals,

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 3: there's you know what I mean. Not everybody who works

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: at the school is a teacher. Not everybody who you know,

31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: there's different types of media members like you and I

32
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: are radio hosts, we're broadcasters.

33
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 4: You describe an analyst.

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: Analyst is a good one for you. I describe myself

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: as a gas bag. I think that that kind of

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: works for me. I always wonder, like you had my

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: Tomlin speaking, you had Aaron Rodgers speaking, you know, Firemooth,

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: Zach Frasier, a couple other guys in the end zone

39
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: down it. Who do you decide who to go? You know,

40
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 3: I don't if you're Jerry Dulak or you're going to

41
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers or you're going to Tomlin, now I guess

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: the Post Gazette like they've got Ray faed Apoudo here

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: as well too, Right, so those guys probably split up.

44
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: But you get him, I get him.

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: But I you know, I wonder I've always wondered what

46
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: the strategy is for that. You know, maybe we'll have

47
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: to pick Mike Pursuita's brain about that one of these

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: one of these days or something I know for.

49
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: Fast about it a lot, you know, and you just

50
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 4: get good at.

51
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 3: It, or yeah, or a certain day you know you're

52
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: writing about a certain person, so you need you know,

53
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: if you're writing about the offense today, you're gonna want

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 3: to talk to Aaron Rodgers if you're right on one.

55
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 4: Thing he and pursued and some of these other guys

56
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 4: didn't like was during COVID it became a lot more

57
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: difficult just to pull the backup safety and have it

58
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 4: one on one in the.

59
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: Court total total, everyone's.

60
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 4: Using the same stuff, you know, which you kind of

61
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: lose your edge.

62
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, absolutely, right forever it really is, uh, I

63
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: think so I think we were slightly so I think

64
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: it was Rogers first and now Tom if that makes

65
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: if that man fact that because I can see this

66
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: picture of Aaron Rodgers here and he's standing behind that

67
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: same backdrop. So they did Rogers and then Tom went

68
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: back to back in that scrum. So that makes sense

69
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: as to why. But you're right, I mean that's a

70
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: long one and that's a lot of time down the

71
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 3: heat for all these people. That's the other thing too.

72
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 3: Like my wife was laughing at me, you know, when

73
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: I was packing up and everything yesterday before heading out here,

74
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: She's like, are you taking sunscreen? And I'm like, why,

75
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: I'm never outside for more than like ten five ten

76
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: minutes at a time. Now, if I was going to

77
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: be down on the sideline and scrums for two three

78
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: hours out of this, I would absolutely be putting some

79
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: sunscreen on. But yeah, walking that.

80
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: Part of not being report.

81
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: I don't want to be down there, not at all.

82
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: And then like even first.

83
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: All those people you know, trying to get quotes and

84
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 4: stuff too, and fighting for getting my question in.

85
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: That's and like congratulations to him, by the way, Like

86
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: I know, our buddy Max starks Is is moving up

87
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: and down into the booth.

88
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 4: It's a very logical move.

89
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: He's tremendous, absolutely, And man, I'll tell you what the

90
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 3: ad for camp or he's yeah, he's doing morning shows

91
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: with Kinger. Oh okay, yeah, yeah, so he's here and

92
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: then he does the Steelers Live video stuff up there

93
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,119
Speaker 3: with the suit as well too, so we'll see plenty

94
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: of it. But the him and Missy like on the

95
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 3: sidelines in December and January, like there's there's been some

96
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: games where like Reagan, I know, our our boss Reagan

97
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 3: has like told both of them, like you need to

98
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: go into the tunnel in the locker room at some

99
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: point in each you know what I mean, Like just

100
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: at the end of the first quarter, one of you

101
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: go in there for ten minutes and then then the

102
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: next one go in for ten minutes.

103
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: Like the preseason games all could be extra hot this

104
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: year or too.

105
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: In Jacksonville and in Carolina in August.

106
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 4: Like coach Hamlin loves that, but sideline reporters don't like that.

107
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: So you'll you will laugh at this. This will be

108
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: my fourth year traveling as part of the broadcast crew. Yeah, okay,

109
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: before that, I was always at the DV studios, right

110
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: for my first few years. Now I'm in the booth

111
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: for every single game, home, away, preseason, playoffs, you know whatever.

112
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 3: My first ever road trip with the Steelers was three

113
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: seasons ago when it was the first preseason game in

114
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 3: Jacksonville once again, and it was early August, and it

115
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: was insanely hot. And this is my first game in

116
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: the booth with the Steelers.

117
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, we'll probably a little nervous.

118
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 3: Well, and I'm like, okay, I'm like, I gotta wear

119
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: slacks and a polo. And I get there and every

120
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 3: person that comes in is like, why are you wearing

121
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: pants shorts? Like it's August and Jacksonville. What's the matter

122
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 3: with you? So I learned that one the hard way.

123
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: I'll be wearing shorts this time.

124
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 4: The heck yeah. Now, but it's great they are going

125
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: to have, you know, hot weather preseason games. Literally here

126
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 4: should be reason. But those other two, as you mentioned,

127
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 4: that's great. But now it is a different world. The

128
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 4: media is such a broad term. You know, absolutely we're

129
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 4: doing is way different. Absolutely, I'd be terrible with that.

130
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: You know, Like, well, me too.

131
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 4: I like to think that a lot of those people

132
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: sticking microphones and the face of coach or rogers wouldn't

133
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 4: be as good at this as I am. Totally, I'd

134
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 4: definitely be way worse than them, but what they're doing, Yeah,

135
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: I wouldn't know what quotes the kid. I've written a

136
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: thousand articles stories, I've never had a quote in any

137
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 4: of them. Right, it's just analysts. Yeah, it's just Yeah,

138
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 4: wrote for ESPN and a million different red websites. I've

139
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: never cutt and pasted a quote.

140
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: Because you're not really trying to like paint a picture

141
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: of a story. You're analyzing the.

142
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 4: Story, right, yeah, right, telling the story, right. Yeah.

143
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: And I'll say this too before we before we move on, Dude,

144
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: Steelers fans out there, to go from your color analyst

145
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: to touch Yolkin, to Craig Wolfly to now Max Starks,

146
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: pretty cool, all offensive lineman. That's that's the tie that

147
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: de buys them. And they all kind of do have

148
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: similar quirky, unique sense as of humor. But in terms

149
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 3: of the guys that they are in the broadcasters that

150
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: they are, man, I don't know if there's ever been

151
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: a lineage better than that, Like we're we're spoiled to

152
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 3: have that on on on the Steelers Audio Network.

153
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 4: And we all love wolf and I'm not picking on him,

154
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 4: but he would obviously make fun of himself. Is a

155
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,119
Speaker 4: kind of beadhead and seat, which is much of his charm.

156
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 4: But you do not see successful offensive linemen that aren't

157
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 4: ridiculously smart and know the game so well. I mean,

158
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,119
Speaker 4: no one grew up wanting to be an offensive line.

159
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 4: It is not a natural feel at all. It is

160
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 4: such a technique driven position and reps and touch and Max,

161
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you chat with those guys and Wolf would

162
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: be understated. But man, they really know this hand placement

163
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 4: and this pass protection. And I mean, you guys will

164
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 4: love hearing Max I learned something every time I have

165
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 4: a beer with them or hear them on the air.

166
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: Every time, right, yeah, and again they deliver it in

167
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 3: a way that's entertaining as well too. It's not just

168
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: the professor at the front of the classroom boringly droning

169
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: on about the atom bomb or like, yeah, so uh man,

170
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: we'll miss We'll miss Wolf every step of the way here.

171
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I'm a very excited for

172
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 3: Max sliding into that role, and like he's he's going

173
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: to do a phenomenal job. He's he's so good with

174
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: that stuff, and he's got the brain and everything, and

175
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 3: and you mentioned rob are doing a They're they're doing

176
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: the the in the locker that's the new in the

177
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: Locker Room show. I'll be you know, I'm producing and

178
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: kind of like a little bit of a third microphone

179
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: for for those guys. And Kinger did shows with us

180
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: all the time in the past, and so that'll be

181
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: a very very seamless transition as we kind of as

182
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: we kind of get things rolling here on this twenty

183
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: twenty five twenty twenty six campaign.

184
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 4: He was on the drugs machine here, he's head to

185
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 4: toe's big?

186
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: Is that John new Smith? Maybe that would that would

187
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: be that would be my guest, because it's the same

188
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: thing that he was he was wearing before, you know,

189
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: when he took it, when he took the pads off,

190
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: and he and he's big and he's catching passes. I

191
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 3: think that's John new Smith. It's definitely not d K

192
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 3: because I saw him. I saw him trotting to one

193
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: of the one of the golf carts to get out

194
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: of here a little bit ago. I think that's John

195
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 3: new Smith.

196
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 4: Then that obviously that implies he's fine.

197
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: Yes, Mike Tomlin did say, uh that you could call

198
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: him day to day. Okay, Yeah, I had the exact quote.

199
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: I mean, we might get that audio for you before

200
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: we before we get out of here in this four

201
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: o'clock hour, but could be could be considered, uh, could

202
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 3: be considered day to day according to Mike Tomlin. So

203
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: hopefully nothing crazy and you see him getting some some

204
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: work in after the fact here, so it's not like

205
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: they're keeping him on the shelf.

206
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 4: Looks like he's testing whatever bothering.

207
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly right. Yeah, I do think that's him because

208
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: for a secondary I thought it might have been Corderio

209
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: Patterson from this picture, but he's wearing a different black hoodie,

210
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,119
Speaker 3: he has an extra It's it's definitely.

211
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 4: John What you stop practicing Cordero.

212
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 3: Patterson also said to be day to day by Mike Tomlin.

213
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: What do you expect to see much of him in

214
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: this process?

215
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: To be very honest, Yeah, I mean I to be frank,

216
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 4: I thought he would have been been one of the

217
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 4: cap casualties early on in the process, especially and then

218
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 4: for drafting and running back in the third round, I'm like, Oh,

219
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: he's definitely gonna go. And then you know the Watt

220
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: contract stuff. Not that they need the money, but I'm like, ah,

221
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: they'll probably let him go. It's on a huge savings,

222
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: but he is a Arthur Smith guy. Running Backs certainly

223
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 4: get banged up. I mean just saying, no doubt Warren

224
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: and Johnson are gonna get every carry and get.

225
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 3: That's the that was the that was the one calling

226
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 3: card that you couldn't take away from Naujy harrisbility. I

227
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: think seventy three regular season in playoff games, I think

228
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 3: it was seventy three, seventy four something like that the

229
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: Steelers played since they drafted Nauji Harris. He was dressed.

230
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 4: Hopefully he's all right with his eye too.

231
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely right, he was. He was active for every

232
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 3: single one of those games for a running back who

233
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: was getting you know, three hundred two hundred some touches

234
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: a season like that's that's that's uh, that's rare. You

235
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 3: know those those guys typically need some time on the SHOWF.

236
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 4: I am assuming this is true. Maybe you can help,

237
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: But I would say if they played the game right now,

238
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: gain Well would be the kickoff returner.

239
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 3: Or that's a good question. Well, if Patterson's day to day,

240
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: it definitely wouldn't be him. Wow, yeah, but in general

241
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 3: that's a good question.

242
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: Well, he's gonna be the kickoff re Turner and will

243
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: be the third back means Patterson and I.

244
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 3: Think he did better with it last year in this

245
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: new dynamic kickoff than Cordo Patterson did.

246
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

247
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 3: So I would think if the Steelers had to play,

248
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 3: if the Steelers were playing the Bengals or the Ravens

249
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: or the Browns on Sunday or something, I would think

250
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: Kenneth Gainwell. But that's an interesting you know what Matt like,

251
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: what's not And it will obviously evolve throughout the season

252
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: as Caleb Johnson or Jalen Warren or whoever emerges, and

253
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: and you know a lot of times that's just how

254
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: those competitions go is it's until somebody proves that it's

255
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 3: their their spot, their job.

256
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 4: But what do you expect that else the team to

257
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: make that that roster spot.

258
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: Yours exactly exactly? But what do you what do you

259
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: exp you know, when we get to September and you know,

260
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: MetLife Stadium in week one, what do you expect that

261
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: running back kind of share the pie to look like

262
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 3: at the start?

263
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 4: I I think Johnson is a tremendous scheme fit for

264
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 4: what they're looking to do. Great like in a very

265
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 4: generic way. If he had landed somewhere else, I wouldn't

266
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: have been as high on what he could do at

267
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 4: the next level. So I think that he is handpicked

268
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 4: perfect for what they're looking for in this scheme, namely

269
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 4: a lot of outside zone stuff and a lot of

270
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 4: under center runs. Like you watch more college football than

271
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 4: I do, you don't see a quarterback under center very much.

272
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 4: And except for Ed Rogers, is probably going to be

273
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 4: under center as much as any quarterback in the league. Yeah,

274
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: he's old school that way, you know, So that there's

275
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 4: something we said for that. I mean, there's a difference

276
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: of where do I get the football? So I think

277
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 4: that's great. That being said, I think Warren, let's assume

278
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: they both don't miss a snap because of injury. I

279
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 4: think Warren will always have the third down roll, which

280
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 4: is also vague, the passing down role, you know.

281
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: And he's proven, he's proven he's very capable in that department.

282
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 4: Vastly under under rated receiver overall, and I'm talking like

283
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 4: against like Kamara, Kamara, McCaffrey. I mean, some of his

284
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 4: stuff in the receiving game is top, top notch. So

285
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 4: that leaves the quote early down work. Now, that doesn't

286
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 4: mean you can't come out on first and ten and

287
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 4: have Warren out there in the passing situation when you're

288
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 4: losing by twelve or whatever, Right, but I would think

289
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 4: early on that early, that other piece of the pie,

290
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: the early down work is probably about fifty to fifty.

291
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 4: So therefore Warren's going to get a noticeably more touches

292
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: than Johnson early. Now, I'm not saying Johnson will we

293
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 4: would be a better early down back than Warren, but

294
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 4: you would hope his role g rose to that. That's

295
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 4: sixty five thirty five, yeah for that stuff. Yeah, and

296
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 4: then the third down passing down is Warren pretty nice?

297
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 4: That'd be a pretty nice timeshare.

298
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I think that would like that.

299
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: That sounds like the ideal plan. Health and progression and

300
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: all those things considered.

301
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, rookie running back have to always prove they're not

302
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 4: fumblers and they can pick up.

303
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 3: They can take care of the football, and they can

304
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: protect the quarterback.

305
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have to prove those things to you, you know.

306
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: And I think you know when you've got a well,

307
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: let's face it, an offensive line that four of the

308
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 3: five starters are still on their rookie contracts, and you've

309
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: got a forty one year old quarterback who's not as

310
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: nimble and mobile as he used to be. But you

311
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: better be able to help protect. You might be able

312
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: to help protect the past game.

313
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: Now, even more so than Wilson and certainly more than

314
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 4: fields pickets, Rudolph et cetera, et cetera. Rogers is going

315
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 4: to know where the pressures come totally and recognize that

316
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 4: and how to beat blitzes and how you know where's

317
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 4: weak links are in protection, and they are going to

318
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: play a ton of multiple tight end sets and Washington

319
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: is really a pseudo tackle when he needs to be,

320
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 4: you know. So we'll see. But if Johnson's not on

321
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 4: the field is much in week one and week two,

322
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 4: it might be because they has not yet proven to

323
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: be worthy in protection.

324
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, And that would make a lot of sense.

325
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 4: And game well, they knew, you know, game wells, they

326
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: know what they have in him.

327
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 3: You said, Aaron Rodgers will be under center one of

328
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: the most of any quarterbacks in the National Football League.

329
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: He's old school in that regard. Why why does Aaron

330
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: Rodgers like being under center?

331
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 4: Part of because he's old and that's just how they

332
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: used to do it. I mean, I think that's part

333
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 4: of it, you know, like.

334
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: I this is the way we've always done things.

335
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know. I marry my footwork like in a

336
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 4: Bill Walsh Montana manor with the route. You know, when

337
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 4: I hit that third step, it ball comes out and

338
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 4: it's supposed to be six inches in front of the numbers.

339
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 4: And that's the way I do it. And it's worked

340
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 4: really well, and old dog nutricks and all that. Another

341
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 4: thing about it, though, too is and this isn't exactly

342
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 4: what you asked, but way more so than the quote

343
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: modern day.

344
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: Real quick, real quick, when you say this isn't exactly

345
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 3: what you ask I know we're about to get something good.

346
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: That's a Matt Williamson tell that's your bluff. It's table,

347
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 3: but it's.

348
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: A good bluff. That's Teddy KGB in the Oreo. Yes,

349
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 4: but he very much like a Peyton Manning. Like if

350
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 4: you get back and watch Peyton Manning highlight. Marvin's on

351
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: the right, Wayne's on the left, Clark's right here and

352
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 4: him and ray Lewis are yapping at each other. It's

353
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 4: kind of like a game of chicken, and you move

354
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 4: your guys, and I'm gonna move my guys. But the

355
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 4: cults were very static in that I don't want a

356
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 4: lot of motion, and I know motion is kind of

357
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 4: a cheat code nowadays, but Rogers is so smart he

358
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: wants to wait deep into the down, you know.

359
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: So I'm snapping the ball with fourteen seconds left on

360
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: the play clock.

361
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 4: Now I'm gonna wait you out, and you're gonna eventually

362
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 4: show me your hand like a poker player, and then

363
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 4: I know exactly how to attack it, you know. So

364
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 4: I think a lot of it is his viewpoint where

365
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: he wants to be, how he can feel and read

366
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 4: the defense, and he doesn't need all these orbit motions

367
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 4: and all this crazy stuff. And I think that's what

368
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 4: you'll see. That's what he's most comfortable doing.

369
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: You know, got a ton of experience doing that, lot

370
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 3: of success doing that, and the game brain above the

371
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: shoulders to continue doing that at a high level, Matt

372
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: as it looks, and you can correct me if I'm wrong.

373
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: I believe new Smith is the last one standing out

374
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: here working the Judge Jugs machine, getting in some extra work.

375
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 3: You gotta love it. Uh. Still some fans along Autograph

376
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 3: Hill and down here on the side hoping for autographs.

377
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 4: But another thing I enjoyed too is when the ground

378
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 4: screw comes out.

379
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, yeah, all day here is awesome.

380
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 4: It is.

381
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: It's the cool in the morning, like the sun's coming up.

382
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 3: It's a miss. It's quiet. You've got the mist over

383
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: the mountains. It's you know, yeah, and you'll see the

384
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: grounds crew guys out there in the morning. It's a

385
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: nice walk to breakfast or to get your coffee, you know,

386
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 3: or whatever.

387
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: And there's no fans. It's quiet.

388
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 3: I'm not a big fan. And that's kind of where

389
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 3: it's quiet in the morning, and then around noon it

390
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: picks up, and then from two to four it's chaos.

391
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

392
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 3: And then like an hour from now, when you and

393
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 3: I are walking to dinner, it's quiet again, and the

394
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 3: grounds crew is back out there. And this it's the

395
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 3: temperatures going down a little bit. I do love how

396
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: campus like comes alive and goes back to bed every

397
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 3: every single day.

398
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 4: It's like it's a real groundhog day ish too.

399
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: Yes, it does. It does, except for the ground crew.

400
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 4: Those four grounds Oh god, great Now they're like, boy,

Speaker 4: we get some rain. This yet with rain and there's

403
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 4: big chunks and they're out there working triple time, you know,

404
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: just to make it feasible. It's very enjoyable. I mean,

405
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 4: but boy, you get more respect for the non football players, coaches.

406
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 3: Equipment guys, and the ground crew.

407
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,479

464
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,399

465
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: up some new listeners along the way, like you pick

466
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: up some new listeners at training camp and then when

467
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 3: we get to September and we get to the regular season,

468
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: you pick up some new listeners that time as well too,

469
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: you know, things like combine and the draft when people

470
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: are are tuning in and starting to really focus.

471
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 4: So they're don't they're vacations or they have this on

472
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 4: their vacation or whatever. But yeah, it's good stuff.

473
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 3: Exactly right, exactly right.

474
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 4: We appreciate you.

475
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we absolutely do listen. There would not be

476
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 3: a Steelers Nation Radio without Steelers Nation, I think, Matt.

477
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 3: I know there's more now, but I remember when I

478
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 3: first started in twenty eighteen, the Steelers were one of

479
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: only three teams that had a dedicated twenty four hour

480
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 3: a day radio station. Right now, I think it might

481
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: be closer to ten or twelve.

482
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 4: Oh wow, I thought it was even higher than that.

483
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: I think it might you know what it might be.

484
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: It might be more than like half. It might be

485
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 3: close to twenty now at this point in.

486
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 4: Twenty four hour, I wasn't sure that that.

487
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 3: Was like a like a radio station that runs their

488
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: programming NonStop, you know, not just intermitute in programming that

489
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 3: they take over the station. But it's their Steelers Nation

490
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 3: Radio Raider, Nation, Rate, Buffalo, a lot Bills live, I

491
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: think is what the Bills want is all.

492
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 4: Thirty two teams have some sort of broadcast, not not.

493
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: Like like a like a radio like yeah, but like.

494
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 4: A show like if you go to that's a very

495
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 4: interesting dot com? Is there audio?

496
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 3: At this point, I would think you could at least

497
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: get podcasts. Okay, maybe not live shows like we do,

498
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 3: but I would I would think you could at least

499
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 3: get podcasts. But you know, that's a good question.

500
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: But even like at the Senior Bowl or especially Combine

501
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 4: there's another event we've gone through owners meetings. People aren't

502
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 4: broadcasting on other teams, aren't pros like us.

503
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 3: We see that at the Combine every like other teams,

504
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: they'll maybe go live for an hour or two, right,

505
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 3: they post podcast stuff and gather. We're just like getting

506
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 3: interviewed like the Eagles, like our buddy fran who was

507
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: who was you know with the Eagles in the past,

508
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: Like he gets a bunch of interviews and then puts

509
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 3: them together in podcasts form. We're one of very few

510
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 3: that's like live the whole the whole the whole day,

511
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 3: the whole time we're there. Like I think Buffalo might

512
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 3: be like that as well, but there's there's very few

513
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: that are like that. And yeah, it's because of uh,

514
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 3: because of you guys, each and each and each and

515

00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: Uh, I'm ready for Like I said, I think this

00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,760

Speaker 3: Come on after next next week will be like all right, preseason,

00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: preseason preseason, That's what I say.

536
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 4: And then like the most anti climatic event of the

537
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 4: whole year is the Hall of Fame. At least we're

538

540
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,440

00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 4: Three minutes in, you're like, oh, this isn't so great,

542
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 4: but preseasons next week, that's gonna be awesome. And then

543
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 4: you're like two weeks in the preseason, like the season's

544
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 4: covering up.

545
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: You know, just give me to September. Man, I tell

546
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 3: you what. Yeah, it is, it's it is there. That

547
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: is one of the interesting dynamics of this It's it's

548
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 3: so many of these points of the year. It's like

549
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 3: hurry up and wait. Oh there is like you know,

550
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 3: hurry up in training camp and it's gonna be crazy.

00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 3: We got shows in the night.

552
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 4: Wait, preseason, hurry up and ways better than we can

553
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 4: comment on things that are happening now. It's not like

554
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 4: let's analyze the third round pick. You know, there's a

555
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 4: stretch there where you're talking about things that happened long ago,

556
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 4: and Steelers were kind enough to make a Jayalen Ramsey

557
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 4: trade for us, and it's kind of a downtime signed.

558
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 3: TJ Watt every every every point this offseason that I

559
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: thought or you know, like motes and I would be like,

560
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 3: all right, we might be getting to the point where

561
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: we got to like go to the content where we

562
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 3: you know, let's make up some different top ten things

563
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: and stuff like that that we could say list season, Right,

564
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 3: every time we thought we thought we'd get the list season,

565
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 3: it'd be like someone signed, Someone's traded. Yeah, yeah, Omar's extended,

566
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: TJ's extended, very active. Oh it was. It was not.

567
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 3: This off season was not quiet at all. Yeah, I

568
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 3: mean at all, from from from February to last week.

569
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 4: I don't know about you, but I bet i'm and

570
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 4: no one's told me this. I'm not behind the scenes

571
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 4: that before our last training camp show there will be

572
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 4: another Steeler edition of a name that people have heard of.

573
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: I would be shocked if I would be shocked if

574
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 3: there was.

575
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean some receiver or safety or

576
00:25:58,200 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 4: something like that that you've heard.

577
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: Yes, and it could be some of the names of

578
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 3: guys that we've mentioned that are out there and available right,

579
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 3: the Amari Coopers and Gabe Davis' of the world. It

580
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 3: also could be a Joe Hayden type situation where I always.

581
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: Bring that up, you know there Hayden was not a

582
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 4: Steeler at this.

583
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 3: Point, not for like a couple more weeks.

584
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 4: No, I've let alone like a Kawan Alexander or you know.

585
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 4: But yes, Hayden was a big time I didn't know

586
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 4: he was a cut boom jump on it.

587
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: I mean twenty twenty one, this time they traded for

588
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: Joe Shobert, you know, with the Jag, was with the Jag.

589
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 3: He was with the Jags at that time, like a

590
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 3: six round pick for Joe Shobert. I believe I could

591
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 3: be wrong. You could correct me in this if you

592
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 3: remember maybe twenty eighteen or seventeen whenever it was, wasn't it. Also,

593
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 3: I believe during training camp when the Steelers traded a

594
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: fifth round pick for Vance McDonald to San Francisco, if

595
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 3: I if I require earlier, is that training camp or not? Okay,

596
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: But that's a while. That's a while. That's you know,

597
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: we're talking eight nine years ago now, so that's a

598
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: little bit further back.

599
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 4: But that happens a time I mean, you have to

600
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 4: really get your hands on your rookie, using your new guys,

601
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 4: or there's an injury, like man, we're a tight end

602
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 4: short or whatever.

603
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: You know, maybe one year you come into camp thinking, hey,

604
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: if a running back becomes available, we're ready to pounce.

605
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: But then this undrafted guy from Oklahoma State, Jalen Warren

606
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 3: is turning everybody's head, and you're like, all right, well,

607
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: never buying.

608
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 4: We don't need that absolutely, you know.

609
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: So it can it can work, It can it can.

610
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 3: It can work both ways in that regard you can have.

611
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 4: Because there's the reason they brought these bottom of the

612
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 4: roster guys in too.

613
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 3: It's like a Beanie, like a Beanie Bishop last season.

614
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think anybody even me, you know,

615
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh's foremost Mountaineer. I didn't expect us to be talking

616
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: about Beanie Bishop during the training camp.

617
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 4: And yeah, in preseason example.

618
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 3: Warren is the best. I mean he from almost the

619
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: first day of training camp, it was like, who's this

620
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: little number thirty? And I'm like, oh, he's the guy

621
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 3: who ran for three hundred yards on the Mountaineers last year.

622
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's again that that's why That's part of

623
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 3: what brings us back out here too, you know, is

624
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 3: you're those those type of things of where's this you know,

625
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: where's this next ramone foster gonna come from? You know,

626
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 3: all those all those different guys that we're waiting for

627
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 3: in the.

628
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 4: All these future picks too, they can get rid of

629
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 4: a sixth or something.

630
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 3: You know, from a team that's they're gonna have a

631
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 3: ton of I know you touched on that a little

632
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 3: bit earlier. They're gonna have a ton of compics next year,

633
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: aren't they? Third round, fourth round, fifth round?

634
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 4: How it looks now from what I understand, And this

635
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 4: is a little subject to change based on like fields,

636
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 4: playing time and Wilson's playing time, et cetera. But as

637
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 4: it looks right now, most likely this series have their first,

638
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 4: their second three thirds, one of which is Dallas for pickings,

639
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 4: but another one comp pick two or three fourths I

640
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 4: think two fifth, two sixth, and a seventh, And they're

641
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 4: not gonna use all those picks, no.

642
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 3: Draft, They're gonna draft that many guys may sixth.

643
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 4: And turn into a future fifth, that may take a

644
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: fifth and turn into a starting receiver, you know, I mean,

645
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 4: like and I'm sure they've used some to package up

646
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 4: if they do get that quarterback. But that's a ton

647
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 4: of cards in your hand, man.

648
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: It's it's a it's a it's a fun speculative position

649
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: to be in because there's so much that can happen

650
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 3: from here forward based on how everything plays out over

651
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 3: the next five six months. And then you know when

652
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 3: you do get to combine and free agency and draft

653
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 3: draft season, like there's there's in that whole concept of

654
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 3: starting to see the plan come together. Like you and

655
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 3: I were discussing, it can still go a litany of

656
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 3: different avenues. Of course, even as it comes together that

657
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: I can if more.

658
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 4: Injuries hit me than I thought, I can trade some

659
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 4: of these picks or who knows, you know. Like but

660
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 4: like the Ravens, I've always been envious they've They've mastered

661
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 4: the comp game. They're the best team in the league

662
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 4: at it, and I have no doubt that, Like when

663
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 4: no More took it over, He's looked at Nausey's contract,

664
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 4: Dan Moore's contract to be like, I like these players.

665
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 4: We're gonna play them out, but I'm probably not going

666
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 4: to resign them because by then I want to draft

667
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 4: the back. I drafted two tackles and you know you're

668
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 4: gonna get something back, and it didn't quite work out

669
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 4: as we all wanted. But last year they gave up

670
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 4: I think it was a fifth round pick or the

671
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 4: sixth round pick for fields, got Wilson for nothing and

672
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 4: paid him league minimum and they turned those into third

673
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 4: and fourth round compick after using them up for a year,

674
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 4: and you may have found your quarterback in the meantime.

675
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 4: They didn't, but they could have, and they're very made

676
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 4: money on the process.

677
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 3: They're very smart too about like signing the guys that

678
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: have been cut so it doesn't affect it doesn't hinder.

679
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 4: The aaron agent, right right, right, right, right, right, yes, yeah.

680
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, because those guys were released by their teams. Therefore

681
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 3: they don't play into the compic formula.

682
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 4: And if there's somebody you adore that's a true free agent,

683
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 4: you did them. But no, there's two that are equal.

684
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 4: Give me the guy that was released as there was

685
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 4: a cap casualty or whatever. Of course doesn't kind of guess.

686
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: And as you mentioned too, like that's a lot of

687
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 3: the stuff that Omar Khan kind of cut his teeth on, right,

688
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: And we think he's we're seeing him really really expand

689
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: upon that and take that to the next thing.

690
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 4: Really paying attention, you can understand the vast difference.

691
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 3: One more segment to go here, Matthew, all right, we

692
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 3: will shut this thing down on the other side and

693
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: uh and put a bow. On the first day of

694
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 3: training camp practice the sprinkler. So this is again, this

695
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 3: is the this is the picture that we love to paint.

696
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 3: The Saint Vincent shrubbery across the way. You got the

697
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: monastery in the background. Uh, middlefield has the sprinklers going

698
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 3: right now while the grounds crew is cutting the grass

699
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 3: of the That thing is crazy. I'm wondering if that

700
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 3: like cuts the grass and picks up like.

701
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 4: Chunks those baskets and get up.

702
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 3: All the loose all the loose stuff.

703
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that seems like it's doing way more than that.

704
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 3: I wonder if I wonder if this is, like you know,

705
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 3: in the past, what you needed two or three different

706
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 3: machines for now this thing. But that I mean that

707
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: do you know if they mow every day though, I

708
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 3: would think so. I mean maybe not every single day,

709
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: but at least.

710
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 4: The golf courses. Yeah, oh yeah, they mow every day.

711
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 3: A lot of and a lot too. You'll laugh at this,

712
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 3: especially in this Laurel Highlands where there's some very nice,

713
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 3: very very very ritzy golf courses. Some of some of

714
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 3: them in certain areas they'll use like shears on the

715
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 3: grass and not actual lawnmowers, if that makes sense.

716
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 4: Someone was just telling me this week that even Oakmond,

717
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 4: the extreme rough, they would they would not use like

718
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 4: a big time oor you.

719
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 3: It's like scissors. It's like just like jumbo scissors. And

720
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 3: they have and they have twenty, you know, grounds keeper

721
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 3: intern they have one hundred groundskeeper interns who were out there.

722
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 3: I worked once one summer when I was like fifteen

723
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 3: or sixteen, I worked at a at a country club

724
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: in Gibsonia part time, you know, it as a summer job.

725
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: And it was like six am, were out and like

726
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 3: it was it was like six am every day, but

727
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 3: I was done by ten am every day type of thing,

728
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Yeah, And so it is.

729
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,719
Speaker 3: It's a it's it's a unique, a very masterful craft

730
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 3: that they's long keepers like.

731
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 4: An extensive education, college background and all that. Yeah.

732
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Penn State offers degrees on I think golf course

733
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of places do now to

734
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 3: I mean, your sons go into Kentucky like Kentucky bluegrass man,

735
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like not just the music

736
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 3: style blue grass, but also the actual actual grass. That's

737
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: that's where, that's where it's all derived from. So yeah,

738
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: a lot of fun seeing everything come together and now

739
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,880

00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 3: it is amazing, but it is it's not quite rough

774
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: in it. But you know, we'll be excited for the

775
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: nights when we get to go home and sleep in

776
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 3: our own beds for a night or two, for sure.

777
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 4: I don't know if you have this issue. I assume

778
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 4: you do. But much of when you record other interests,

779
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 4: you know, but like I do other podcasts you do

780
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 4: a lot.

781
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 3: I do a couple.

782
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 4: You do a lot, a lot of daily podcasts. That

783
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 4: the acoustics in those rooms isn't so great.

784
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 3: It's just like bouncing around, like it sounds like you're

785
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 3: talking in a tin can exactly.

786
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 4: People have to be like, where are you recording from?

787
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 3: Like, I'm sorry, did you record this at the Pittsburgh Aquarium?

788
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 4: That's all I got, man, It's where I'm living.

789
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, you're absolutely and so you'll laugh at that.

790
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 3: Like the WU Show podcast that I do, we pre

791
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 3: did a bunch of gener you know, Rich Rodriguez's back,

792
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 3: new coaching staff, you know what I mean, like stuff

793
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 3: that's evergreen kind of seasoned preview stuff that you're releasing

794
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 3: throughout the next couple of weeks for that same reason,

795
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 3: because like I can't hot, I can't host an hour

796
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 3: long show from up in that dorm room and now

797
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 3: the connections cut in and out. It doesn't sound great.

798
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 3: Do you do like your show's up there that you

799
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 3: do with other people as well too? From up there?

800
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 4: Yes, you don't have a guest, but it's me and

801
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 4: Peacock and Williams.

802
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 3: Right, you don't have you don't have connection issues or anything.

803
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 4: I have not a connection issues. But it sounds rough.

804
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 4: It sounds like it's also YouTube, and it's not the

805
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 4: best back.

806
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 3: To It's like, looks like you're in goth I'm like,

807
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 3: you're like, you're an Arkham with the joker.

808
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 4: A bottle of bourbon over my shoulder and my dirty

809
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,479
Speaker 4: underwear and right.

810
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 3: West of the background making funny for it, right.

811
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 4: Right right, who knows what, who walks by, But that's

812
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 4: where I'm at. I got to do it.

813
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 3: But it is cool though, because at the same time,

814
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: I think listeners kind of love that, like they know that.

815
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 4: You're there and you're I'm good about pulling back the curtain.

816
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 3: I'm like, it's not going to sound the best, but

817
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 3: I'm fifty yards away from trump nolefield. What do you want?

818
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 3: What do you want from it?

819
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 4: And that's the smallest dorm room in this whole place,

820
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 4: by the way, the one that you had that I

821
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 4: think I'm taking over is the baby baby was.

822
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 3: We had to do a little dorm reshuffling because some

823
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 3: of the rooms we thought had two beds only had

824
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 3: one bed and at the end of it, matt ended

825
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 3: up in like the smallest room, which the one two

826
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: years ago. The one good thing about that is it

827
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 3: probably won't echo much since it's there's not as much

828
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 3: room for the sound to pounce.

829
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 4: But there's like hardly enough drawers, or I mean like

830
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 4: there's not much there.

831
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 3: Right, it is listening, folks. Yeah, think of the stock

832
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 3: image of a college dorm. And I'm not talking these

833
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 3: new all these colleges, these bigger schools now their their

834
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 3: dorm rooms are like apartments.

835
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 4: No, my son's just insane. Vuy.

836
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: Yes, this is like and what you would see in

837
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 3: an old eighties movie dorm room.

838
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 4: Right, it's just concrete.

839
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 3: It's charming in a way, but it's it's it is

840
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 3: concrete charm and it is concrete and wooden wooden bed frames.

841
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 4: And the mattresses aren't superb either.

842
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: That is why I bring memory phone, my friend. Yeah

843
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 3: I do. Yeah, I've got a I've got an extra hunk.

844
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 4: I can cut off for you if you What I

845
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 4: have been doing is when I get the normal sized room,

846
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 4: is I take one mattress thrown on top of the other.

847
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 3: That's a good idea.

848
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 4: It's not a bad movie.

849
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 3: That's a good idea.

850
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 4: That's what I did last year.

851
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 3: Uh, mister Williamson, Day one in the books, you and

852
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 3: I have you and I we back here at two o'clock.

853
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 3: We got just a few minutes left. And this is

854
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: gonna be a generic. We could have this calmversation this

855
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 3: time every year. Thirty thousand foot view. But you know

856
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 3: you you worked in scouting in this league, you worked

857
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 3: in collegiate football and in the NFL on the other

858
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 3: side of things, from day one to day two? Like

859
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 3: what are what are the coaches? What is everyone looking

860
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 3: for tomorrow?

861
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 4: Is it?

862
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: Is it necessarily just improvement? Or is it maybe the

863
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: mistakes that you made out here today you better not

864
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 3: make tomorrow? Like what are you looking from day one? Yeah? Too?

865
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 4: And I would even say, like the whole first week,

866
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 4: give or take, Like if I gotta keep correcting you

867
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 4: on this, I'm starting to worry. And it's more of

868
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:30,919
Speaker 4: a position coach.

869
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 3: Everyone's going to make a mistake every once in a

870
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 3: while to take all the young guys.

871
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, make a mistake, that's for sure. You've never done this.

872
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 4: You're going against Cam Hayward or you know whoever. And

873
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 4: even if it isn't full speed, it's still there's nerves involved.

874
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 4: That's you're new to the NFFL.

875
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 3: There's three thousand, four thousand fans around these around here,

876
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 3: But I.

877
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 4: Don't want to keep correcting you over and over and

878
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 4: over about the same thing, you know, and that's certainly

879
00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 4: one thing I think in enthusiasm, and you know, all

880
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 4: those type of things too, kind of like are you

881
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 4: first in line at the Senior Bowl for you know,

882
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 4: they know who's really into it or who were and

883
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 4: that maybe even be veterans. Do we grab a veteran

884
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 4: for two million a year? That's just kind of going

885
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 4: through the motions and might just want to.

886
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 3: Pay checke yeah, or is he totally in Yeah? No,

887
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 3: that's that makes a lot of sense.

888
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 4: And I would imagine there's a lot of friendships being made,

889
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 4: you know, like DK metcalf has is still sort of

890
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 4: new around here. You know, is who's he hanging with

891
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 4: in the cafeteria or on the field, And you know

892
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 4: it does too.

893
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 3: And also the the Home Run Derby that will be

894
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 3: the previous three champions of the Home Run Derby are

895
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 3: no longer on the roster.

896
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 4: Wilson was one right justin.

897
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 3: Fields last year Wilson came second. I don't know if

898
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 3: you remember that last year. It was like a big

899
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 3: thing because those two were going back and forth ball.

900
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 3: They both brought like their own bats and their own

901
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 3: clubs and they were into it.

902
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: Uh.

903
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 3: And then Kenny Pickett won the two years before that. Yeah,

904
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 3: so now a new champion will be crowned in the

905
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 3: home run derby. And uh, you mentioned like DK Metcalf

906
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 3: knew all those things here. So him and Aaron he

907
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 3: spoke to the media and he shared that him and

908
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers are sharing a suite here in one of

909
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: the dorm rooms. Okay, so they each have their own room,

910
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 3: but they share a bathroom.

911
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 4: They're sharing a bathroom. Okay, I there is.

912
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 3: Something hilarious about like two.

913
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 4: Guys that are Rogers is sharing a bathroom.

914
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: Two guys that have made like half a billion dollars

915
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 3: in this league that are sharing a college dorm room

916
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 3: bathroom together.

917
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. I was laughing about that as you were saying,

918
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 4: and I'm like, Okay, both these dudes knew what they

919
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 4: were getting into. Not every team goes away to camp,

920
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 4: and if they do, do they share it with their

921
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 4: wide out or running the other fellow multi millionaire You're right, hey,

922
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 4: you in the bathroom, Aaron, I really gotta go. Sorry, man,

923
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 4: is that really what's going on there? I guess it is.

924
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it. Listen, it's a little humbling. And again,

925
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 3: like the Steelers, and I think rightfully so Steal still

926
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 3: Steal still believe in the value of that. Like I think,

927
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 3: I think there's only three or four teams now in

928
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 3: the NFL that still go outside of their facility for

929
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 3: training camp. But like the Chiefs and the Bills are

930
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 3: two of them, and they go to a college that's

931
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 3: like ten to fifteen minutes away, yea, not ninety minutes away.

932
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 3: Like this is you know, from from Pittsburgh. You could

933
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 3: still go home. It's you know, you're hopping on a bus.

934
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 3: You're not staying in the dorms, you're not eating in

935
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 3: the cafeteria. It's a quick commute every single day. And hey,

936
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 3: like they always say, right six lombardis they all started here?

937
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 4: Yeah? Something.

938
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 3: This is the fifty eighth Steelers. So if you take

939
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 3: out you know, the two, the two that were missed

940
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 3: because of COVID, like this would have a in a

941
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 3: perfect year, this would have been sixty. But this is

942

00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 4: Like many losing seasons in years, losing seasons and.

946
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: US fifty eight years and a lot has certainly changed.

949
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 3: throwback pictures and you see Jack Lamber running up the

950

Speaker 3: disposition T shirt that he that he used to wear.

953
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 3: Like I saw that picture out there.

954
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 4: It was just a month ago. I don't know where.

955
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 4: I just happened to stumble across it on Twitter. I

956
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 4: retweeted it was a picture of rookie year Wolf sprinting

957
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 4: with Franco.

958
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 3: Yes, I know that picture. Yeah, that that is that

959
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 3: is a great picture.

960
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 4: I know you're like, you know early on hungry very

961
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 4: here's the for.

962
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 3: You to I wasn't hired from my disposition, the famous,

963
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 3: the famous Greg Lloyd uh something that was you know

964
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 3: born here, boryn here in training camp and a T

965
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 3: shirt I mentioned the lack.

966
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 4: Of losing seasons. So I did a little research on this,

967
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 4: and you know it, Chuck Nole took over an unbelievably

968
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 4: bad team.

969
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, like the worse than anything to be,

970
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 3: like taking over the Browns or the Jets right now, worse.

971
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 4: Worse, way worse. I mean fifty years of losing or whatever.

972
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 4: So his first three years, the Steelers had a losing season,

973
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 4: but it got better.

974
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 3: Each year, closer and closer to a winning record.

975
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 4: Righteah. So since then, take those three three years aside,

976
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 4: Steelers have had seven losing seasons. That's insanity. That's my

977
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 4: whole lifetime. Why And none of them are one win,

978
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 4: two wins, three wins. It's all five, six, six, seven

979
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 4: and nine, seven and nine.

980
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 3: You know, of those seven like the like the year

981
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 3: before the Steelers drafted Big Ben, I believe they went

982
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 3: six and ten. Yeah, and like that's not good. But

983
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 3: that's that's not two wins.

984
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 4: That's not three five wor Seamson.

985
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 3: You were two wins away from being five hundred, you know, right.

986
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 4: Right right, Maybe get a bounce or someone misses a.

987
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 3: Kick or you know, or Brian Billick doesn't start his

988
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 3: starters in the last game of the season, even though

989
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 3: the Ravens had already clinched. Yeah, and you end up

990
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 3: losing to the raven in the last game of the

991
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 3: season in overtime, which thanks Brian Billick because that's what

992
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 3: allowed them to be in position to draft Ben Roethlisberger. Yeah,

993
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 3: it's funny, funny, hell, all those things work. But that'll

994
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 3: do it for our three hours today. I mean, we
