00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: the radar, the toppler looks clear, and I think we

00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: are finally gonna get what we've all been waiting for

14
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: here the last week or so, and that is our

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: first padded practice ongoing getting started right in front of

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: us now here at training Camp.

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: Yeah for his anti climatic and as poorly as yesterday

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: went to no one's fault obviously with the massive boy,

19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: there's a lot of rain. Oh, Today's like the total opposite.

20
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: You know, I'm sure Tomlin wants heat, he wants sun,

21
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: he wants no rain, he wants as many reps they

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: could possibly get in.

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: He wants physicality, he wants fans.

24
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: We've got McAfee, we got NFL dot Com up there,

25
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: Baldinger's doing stuff like this place is on fire.

26
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: This is I think one of the craziest, if not

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: the craziest week days that I can remember here in

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: my eight years of training camp, as we've laid out

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: and as we do every year, like Saturdays and Sundays

30
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: are typically nuts, sure because it's a weekend, right, but

31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: for a Wednesday, for a work day. And I know

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: a lot of kids are still out of school and everything,

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: but it's a normal work day for most adults and

34
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: all of that. But it is. It is jam packed

35
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: in here. The hill is full, the bleachers are full.

36
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: Like you said, we've got past McAfee about one hundred

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: yards down to our right broadcasting with a ton of

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: people around everything that he's doing NFL.

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: Now, did you get in that?

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 5: Not at all?

41
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: Okay, I went over for like did five minutes before

42
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: before walking over to uh lunch, So I stayed on

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: the this side of the fence.

44
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 5: Okay.

45
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: I tried to stay away from it because just it's

46
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: hot and it's a lot of people, and I just.

47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 3: It was madness, dude, mad I mean Danny. They brought

48
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 3: Danny Smith up and the whole place is chewing gum,

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 3: chew into gum. I guess when they I was talking

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: to some people with lunch when they brought TJ in,

51
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 3: they said bad.

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: Words about I saw that, Like, I mean, they're.

53
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 3: Just going nuts out there, and of course Pat's getting

54
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: them all wound up. And it's a pretty cool environment.

55
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: I mean, stage is set up. It's a big deal.

56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 5: No, it absolutely is.

57
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 4: I assume people can watch it somewhere.

58
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, on ESPN, sure, and uh and yeah and like

59
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: you said as well too across the way NFL network

60
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: is set up. Brian Baldinger has been doing hits on

61
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: the NFL network from here all day.

62
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 5: It is a jumping It is a happening day.

63
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: And I think you're right as much as you yesterday

64
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: to good way to describe it was anti climactic.

65
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 5: I think today is going to make up for that.

66
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm expecting that intensity, you know, is, as

67
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: you rightfully pointed out, too, and we're a couple of

68
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: days away from it now, so it can be easy

69
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: to forget.

70
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 5: But things started to get a little chippy.

71
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: Little intense, some emotions boiling over at the end of

72
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: practice on Sunday very much.

73
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: So that's a last we've seen.

74
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: And so it feels like there's a lot of build

75
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: up and a lot of excitement here as we get

76
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: going today on hundredercent.

77
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 3: A lot of highly competitive dudes, new dudes. We keep

78
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: bringing up about how they're bringing in a lot of dogs,

79
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: and I mean that in a good way. A lot

80
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: of veterans that have had success but maybe have something

81
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: to prove at this stage of their career. Highly competitive

82
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: individuals that are bringing a little bit of a new

83
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: wrinkle to the squad.

84
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: I mean they always there's always turnover.

85
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: Every NFL team has a lot of turnover every year,

86
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: the draft picks, et cetera, et cetera. But the just

87
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: the names they brought in and their track records and

88
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: resumes is different than any offseason I can remember, right,

89
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: So it's gonna have a ripple effect on the field

90
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: and just in the whole attitude of the team.

91
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 5: A couple of Super Bowl champions that they brought in. Yeah,

92
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 5: some guys with some personality one of the last year

93
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 5: right about and Darius Slay and not too long ago

94
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 5: in Jalen Ramsey, some guys with some nasty about them.

95
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 5: A lot some guys with some ego about him. And

96
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 5: I mean that in a good way.

97
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that as guys who are are rightfully

98
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: so proud and they're working their craft and who they

99
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: are and what they've accomplished. And some veteran presence as

100
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: well too, you know, in terms of John new Smith,

101
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: Jaalen Ramsey, Darius Slay all being in their thirties, I

102
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: think that there's been some let's wait and see here.

103
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 2: You know, Let's okay, you guys have made some plays

104
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: when it was the acclamation period, but can you do

105
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: it when the pads go on? You know, okay, offensive line,

106
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: the defensive line had their way with you early on,

107
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: But now the pads are on, and it's your chance

108
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: to figurative and take the fight to that figuratively and literally.

109
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: I mean to the O lines. Defense. You know they're

110
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 3: not going to fire off the ball and run block.

111
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: Yet you know so well you have a little bit

112
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: of an advantage as a defensive Lineman's just saying, I'm

113
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: gonna tee off on the quarterback right right, Mack Rogers,

114
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 3: you know what I'm getting at.

115
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, to get.

116
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: Off, absolutely, absolutely, and we'll look and see if if

117
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: the offense has some fight back in them. Today, I

118
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 2: expect that we'll get some looks at some wide receiver

119
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 2: and some defensive back one on ones, which will be

120
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. Some special teams period. Now getting

121
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: started in front of us is practice gets rolling. Looks

122
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: like quarterbacks and tight ends are going to be on

123
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: the middle field, all the defensive linemen and linebackers still

124
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: far side across the field. I'm trying to confirm that

125
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: you know there's no veterans days, that this is one

126
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: of those. Hey, it's the first padded practice you've essentially

127
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: had two days off in a row. Now, all hands

128
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: on deck. I do believe I see Cam Heyward over

129
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: there and TJ. Watt both in full pads.

130
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: I walked down the hill with Cam, so he was

131
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: in pads. Didn't I assume he'll do everything? But I

132
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 3: didn't ask him, right, yeah.

133
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: Right, And like I see you know Sleigh and Ramsey,

134
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: you're both sitting there on the bench, fully padded up.

135
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: Now walk this special teams period.

136
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 5: So while yesterday I don't know, I was gonna.

137
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: Say, good, good call by you bringing that up, he

138
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: is not. At least when the offensive line was doing

139
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 2: their stuff right in front of us for about ten

140
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: minutes there, I did not see him.

141
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 4: I haven't seen him yet, see him yet.

142
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: I'm looking for the signature man bun although in this

143
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: weather he might have like a bucket head or something

144
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 2: on make him a little bit more difficult to pull out.

145
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 5: But yeah, but.

146
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: Roger Jones back in at the left tackle position. He's

147
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: fully padded, he's been running with the team. He's actually

148
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: kind of bouncing around and doing some dancing there right now. Yeah,

149
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 2: it looks like he's feeling fine and ready to go.

150
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: That's exactly where I was going with that. So good

151
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: news as well too. You know, you heard Mike Tomlin

152
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: say yesterday that they were you know, expecting, you know,

153
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: hopeful that he would be would be back in action.

154
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: So that's a very quick turnaround for him. And again

155
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 2: I think that builds the excitement here as well too,

156
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: as he's on that short list of players that people

157
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: are coming out here to watch.

158
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 3: Oh, without question, Without question, there's a lot of of

159
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 3: draws for the fans to go take a look at.

160
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 3: And frankly, I mean any almost any other offseason, if

161
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: you just added DK Metcalf, you'd be like, WHOA, I

162
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: just want to go see that guy. I mean, I'm

163
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: not saying he's the best receiver in the league, but

164
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: he's one of the most unique, certainly in terms of size, speed, gifts,

165
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 3: et cetera. And yeah, he's high on the list of

166
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: people you guys should come see. But he's not number one,

167
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: and he's not alone, you.

168
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 5: Know, absolutely not.

169
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: And number one I don't think I know is Aaron

170
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: Rodgers now on the far side or in the middlefield.

171
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 5: Part of me getting getting some work in a lot

172
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: of Rogers jerseys out there today, a lot of a

173
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 5: lot of Packers Rogers jerseys that I've seen as well too.

174
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 5: There was also Matt that works. Two brave souls sitting

175
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: up on the hill there.

176
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll point him out to you during a commercial

177
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: break or something in the shade, one wearing a Nick

178
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: Chubb Browns jersey and the other wearing a Za Flowers

179
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: Ravens jersey. Wow, okay, I almost like, you know, when

180
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: I walked past him, was like making a joke, like

181
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: you guys trying to see you can get punched in

182
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: the face first here today, but kick them down the hill.

183
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: But this this is you know, that's one of those

184
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: things too. Like and I get you don't see that

185
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: much here. You don't, But I think what you do

186
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: get is not people who show up plastered in their

187
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: other team's gear. But I think a lot of football

188
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: fans like to come to this, even if they're not

189
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: necessarily Steelers fans.

190
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 5: If that makes sense, I guess it does.

191
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: It's kind of like the international game. It's kind of

192
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: like the international game will have a million different jerseys.

193
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 5: There, you know, exactly right, exactly right.

194
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: And you know, like, for example, I know people that

195
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: live not too far away from here, like an hour away.

196
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 2: They're big Buffalo Bills fans, but they not every summer,

197
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: but most summers will come out here.

198
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 5: Because it's football, it's fun, it's a cool environment. You

199
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 5: get to watch an NFL team practice. I got to

200
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: imagine there's a lot of that going on now with

201
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 5: you know, guys like Aaron Rodgers that.

202
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 4: Fans them, Williams here returning.

203
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: Okay, oh my goodness, he's got five or five and

204
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: he was trying to catch the sixth one.

205
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 5: So they do this content paint. I was gonna say,

206
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 5: paint the picture for everybody.

207
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: It's a jugs machine. But so you kind of know

208
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 4: where it's coming, and they're they're just kind of it's

209
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: kind of a contest. It's just fun, you know, like.

210
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: All right, you field a punt, you warm up and yeah,

211
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: but you gotta hold that ball and then field upon

212
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: while holding a ball. Boom, Okay, now I got two

213
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: in my hands. I gotta field another one. Wow, Now

214
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 3: I got three in my hands. And like in this case,

215
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: who is at fourteen?

216
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 4: That's gain?

217
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: Well, threw one up in the air and kind of

218
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: like juggled it while he caught it. But Williams, who

219
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: I was talking about, had five. He was holding onto

220
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: five footballs trying to field the sixth one after already

221
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: doing it with four the time before. I mean, it's

222
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 3: really hard to do. Footballs are bigger and heavier than

223
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: you think.

224
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 5: No doubt. Robert Woods is there right now.

225
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: Okay, he's got three in his hand and he's getting

226
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: ready to try and catch the fourth here it comes

227
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: one handed.

228
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 4: He did it.

229
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: He fell on his butt, but he cradled it perfectly.

230
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 5: Held out.

231
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 4: He's holding four, trying to catch a fifth.

232
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: Four footballs right now he's got he's trying to shove

233
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: all four into his left arm, but he's got one

234
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: in his right hand. One just kind of fell between

235
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: his legs. Between his legs, he couldn't quite move the

236
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: way he wanted to. But yeah, the fun stuff that

237
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: you get to see out here. Who's that coming up

238
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: next in this?

239
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 5: Is that?

240
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,359
Speaker 4: Uh?

241
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's.

242
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 4: Try to get cute.

243
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: Tried to juggle the balls. That got a little cute

244
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 2: and drop both of them and we'll see here. I

245
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: think he's I think he's gonna keep going.

246
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 3: He has a chance to be the punt returner. I

247
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: think it'll be Austin, But I mean his tactics aren't

248
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 3: good for this game.

249
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 5: His tactics for this game, or letting him down just to.

250
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: He's tossed one up in the air like he's a juggler,

251
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: And I would think a bigger guy is gonna be

252
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 3: better at this too, Like Justin doesn't much room on

253
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 3: his body.

254
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 2: Right, you gotta have you gotta have space to absorb

255
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: you know, all that all that uh, all that leather

256
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: as uh special teams period continuing in front of us.

257
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 5: They've got the clock turned around today.

258
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: And this does help your concentration. It's not just like

259
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: a carnival game.

260
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely, and uh Robert Woods back at it. He's

261
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 5: got three or four in the belly right now, trying

262
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 5: to build up Austin. Is that Calvin Austin.

263
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got threes about trying to get Okay, yeah,

264
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 3: you're right there, holding three, got it, you got number four.

265
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: That's a good strategy, holding three down your left arm

266
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: and trying to get that.

267
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: That's what it's when they get to four that he

268
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: started to get really hairy.

269
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 5: Let's see what he can do here. Oh, cut one

270
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 5: between his legs and caught it with one.

271
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: This is the same way Williams was.

272
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 5: He has a held five, he's got five and.

273
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 4: Not only anyone's caught the sixth one.

274
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 5: Six one. That's incredible. Wow, Well, keeping one between his legs.

275
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 2: So Calvin Astin has six footballs in his possession right now,

276
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 2: five in his arms.

277
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 4: He's going to catch this one in his face mask if.

278
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 5: He catches this one. I'm gonna be incredibly impressed. Yeah,

279
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 5: my goodness, falling backwards, traps it in his head.

280
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 4: That was ridiculous.

281
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: Seven footballs in Calvin Austin's possession right now, that was

282
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 5: that was impressive. That was fun to watch.

283
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 3: He was I mean, I was making kind of making

284
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 3: fun of him, but the little guy's doing him enough

285
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: room to hold those dudes.

286
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: I was one hundred sent wrong.

287
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 3: Because he kind of used the football to absorb that

288
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: fronted one.

289
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: He was like holding three in each arm and kind

290
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: of like cradle down.

291
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 5: That was very impressive by Calvin Austin the third area,

292
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 5: as he had seven straight balls caught in the punting

293
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 5: jugs here while holding on to all of them at

294
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 5: the same time. That is impressive work. Impressive work.

295
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: As we are getting going here, offensive line, going through

296

Speaker 1: us Steel.

319
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: Back on campus here as practice will be uh think,

320
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: heating up, moving and shaking here in just a matter

321
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: of minutes. We've got some stretching going on in front

322
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: of us, and as we mentioned, other than the injured players,

323
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: looks like all hands on deck here today.

324
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, as you would think they two days.

325
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly right, but always good to confirm slaying Ramsey

326
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: both out there. TJ's right in front of us stretching,

327
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 2: as is Heyward. It was kind of funny we were

328
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: laughing one of the stretching lines here, Cam Heyward was

329
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: leading it and Aaron Rodgers was bringing up the caboose.

330
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: It's like him and Benton another D line and then

331
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 3: like Rogers at the end, all the.

332
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 2: D linemen in one line, and then Aaron Rodgers is like,

333
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna stretch with these guys. Yeah,

334
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: these guys today pretty good.

335
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: He's interesting to watch just when there's not football going on.

336
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: He's always intentional in my opinion, with what he's where

337
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: he's at, and also very engaged is a word I

338
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: used a lot in uh Ota or Mini Camp.

339
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 4: I guess it would have been he's.

340
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 5: Talking to Pat Meyer, the offensive line coach right now.

341
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

342
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: I mean a very high percentage of when there's not

343
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 3: football stuff going on, he's either instructing a young offensive

344
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: player as like a teacher, or he's in the quarterback

345
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 3: coach or another assistant coach's here. Certainly asking questions or

346
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: critiquing or whatever. I mean, especially in mini camp when

347
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: he had just arrived. He never left either the quarterback

348
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 3: coach to the offensive coordinator side.

349
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 4: He was like glued to.

350
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: Them unless he was talking to Will Howard or something, right,

351
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: he ever left their side.

352
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, at that point he had not been part of it.

353
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 3: He was only on the team for you know, a minute,

354
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: and hadn't known the offense. He wasn't wasn't running team

355
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: drills yet, so engaged and very intentional. I mean, you

356
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: can tell there's a lot going on above the above

357
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: the neck there.

358
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 5: Yep.

359
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: I think those are both great descriptors. He's not just

360
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: aimlessly wandering around out there. It seems like he's always

361
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: got something on his mind. Something he's trying to learn, something,

362
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: he's trying to share, something he's trying to accomplish.

363
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 5: As uh as.

364
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: Things are, things are still kind of calm for now.

365
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: But the shots, yes, I believe will break right into

366
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: if not seven shots, maybe some backs on backers or something.

367
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: But I think you're I think you are correcting that

368
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: t J. Watt looks ready to go. He's been standing

369
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: up and jumping around for a little bit here.

370
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like the before, like the calm.

371
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 5: Before the storm.

372
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely, some of the special teams guys are on the

373
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: far field working on stuff. But other than that, all

374
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: present and accounted for. Here to Sean Elliott running back

375
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: across the field, I think he might have had to

376
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: go use the restroom.

377
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 5: Actually over there in the corners. Now, he's a long walk,

378
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 5: a long walk to the bathroom.

379
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: Every corner has well, so there's the pullback curtain. There's

380
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: three fields that are all parallel to each other. Yeah,

381
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 3: they're all one hundred yards. You can imagine. It's a

382
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: lot of grass in the four corners of just the

383
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 3: grass are well, I guess there's three not down here

384
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: is a portagehn yep, which is probably really warm at

385
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 3: the moment, and maybe it's tad smelly. But if you

386
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: have to go and you're down here, those are your.

387
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 5: Options, unless you want to walk seven minutes back to

388
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 5: the locker room, right.

389
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: Right right, Yeah, So I mean they're not closed, No,

390
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: they are not. There's three of them here.

391
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: Hey, you know what they say, Matt, when you gotta go,

392
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: you gotta yeah. Yeah, And it appears that Sewn Elliott

393
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: might have just had to go.

394
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 5: Some of these guys are bouncing up.

395
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: Now it looks like the defensive linemen are heading to

396
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: the far side of the field once again, so we

397
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 2: might have to wait for seven shots unfortunately, different.

398
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 4: Type of Maybe I'm misjudging what they're gonna do next.

399
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 2: It's true, we'll kind of all be trying to figure

400
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: this out as it's the first padded practice of this

401
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: training camp session. Defense going far side of the field,

402
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: looks like the offense will stay here.

403
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 3: Okay, so everyone does talk about backs on backers and

404
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 3: that's one hundred percent accurate and it is a draw,

405
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 3: no question. But while that's going on, the big men

406
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 3: are doing one on ones as well. That's on the

407
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: second field, and we won't be able to comment on

408
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: that nearly as well because it's really hard to tell

409
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 3: the hand placement and things like that. And then the

410
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 3: little guys, I mean DK Metcalf excluded because he's not little,

411
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 3: but they're gonna be doing one on one corners versus

412
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: yep whiteouts, you know, so there would be a lot

413
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: of one on one stuff going on while backs and

414
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 3: backers are too.

415
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 5: That's just another individual, just another individual, period. So we've

416
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 5: got some offensive.

417
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 4: Line working on zone blocking, working.

418
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: On some zone blocking in front of us.

419
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: Looks like wide receivers and tight ends are going to

420
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: be hitting some sleds and some machines down there working

421
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 2: on some ball security drills, which is always interesting to

422
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: I mean, because like you look at it like they are,

423
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: I mean, they've got boxing.

424
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 5: To again to paint the picture for everybody. Imagine a

425
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 5: like a big long fiberglass tube. Yeah, it's like a

426
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 5: piece of PVC PVC piping, and then they take boxing

427
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 5: gloves to the end of them. And as these guys

428
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 5: run through the gauntlet of you know, different pads and

429
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 5: things like that, they're.

430
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 4: Like young man trying to drive that thing out.

431
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 5: Like they're jousting out there, trying to punch that football out.

432
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 5: That's always been that's always been great.

433
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: And they do run through that gauntlet you know, where

434
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 3: you're the big pads are bouncing you around and all

435
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 3: that good stuff too.

436
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: Yep, which is you know, again, if you've ever if

437
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: you've ever seen a football movie or anything like that,

438
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: you know what we're talking about is that it's that

439
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: same kind of but they've got three different people positioned

440
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: throughout the gauntlet with with those PVC boxing gloves and

441
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: trying to trying to punch that thing out and work

442
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: on some ball security.

443
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: And once in a while they will get it out.

444
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you know, I mean they know these I mean,

445
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: these guys know it's coming. But that's kind of a

446
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: wild NFL football is due, you.

447
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, absolutely absolutely, as Aaron Rodgers has his helmet

448
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: on and is spinning it around in.

449
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 5: Front of us defense.

450
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 4: The individual stuff.

451
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 5: Defense is all entirely on the far side of the field.

452
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: On nationally, so they're not in individuals, they're kind of

453
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 3: in a team group here.

454
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 4: Can't really tell what they're working on. They're in the

455
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 4: third field and my vision is not as good enough

456
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 4: to see it down there.

457
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: No, it's it looks like the defensive backs are working

458
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: on some tip drill, some hands stuff, but I can't

459
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: really make out the details of what the linebackers and

460
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 2: the defensive line are doing. Unfortunately. It looks like maybe

461
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 2: some of the edge rushers are working on on pass

462
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: rush moves and then you know, attacking a quarterback.

463
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like they're working on strip drills, strip.

464
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 5: Drills and things like that. Is uh.

465
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 2: As the tight ends they're starting to head over here

466
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 2: with the offensive lineman, so maybe we'll see them all

467
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: doing some stuff.

468
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 5: Roger Jones is hollering at some of these guys to

469
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 5: to hurry up and get down here.

470
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 3: I know I've teased it too much, but I do

471
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 3: think seven shots is any second now, because I mean,

472
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 3: that's really when practice practice too.

473
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 5: And is this Dk Metcalf and Street closes in front

474
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 5: of us right here?

475
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 4: I don't think.

476
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: I don't think I saw him earlier. He's over there,

477
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 3: he's on the goal line.

478
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you're right, I got him.

479
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm not sure who that is, but it's a

480
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: big strapping.

481
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 2: And he has his hood ups. You can't can't really

482
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: see his face, but yeah.

483
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 4: You are saying, with the lineman.

484
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 5: Down, I do see DK Metcalf downians and fully patted

485
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 5: up and everything.

486
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 4: Now, I bet he goes against Ramsey and slam port

487
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 4: or quite a bit to.

488
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 5: The Yes, yes, absolutely.

489
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 3: It's different individual drills here, like the tackles and tight

490
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 3: ends are working together on combo blocks, where the interior

491
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: lines working on combo blocks at a different area.

492
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 4: You know, that type of thing. So what else we

493
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: got got shaken here?

494
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 5: I don't know, they're trying to get some p s

495
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 5: A announcements made next door. It's all happening. It's all

496
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 5: happening here right now.

497
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 3: People might be like, watch and these wide receiver drills

498
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 3: to our right, going, what on earth is that these

499
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 3: wide receiver coaches put like these huge pads on their

500
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 3: arms like they're like a falcon is gonna.

501
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 5: Fly, like they're training falconry, right.

502
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 3: And then they're just beating the crap out of the

503
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 3: wide receivers at the line of scrimmage. And what they're

504
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 3: working on is their hand movements for getting off press

505
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 3: band coverage, you know.

506
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 4: Yep.

507
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:31,840

Speaker 2: try this type of thing. Like they they've got this

511
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: entire process finally tuned.

512
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 4: No, a practice script is incredibly detailed.

513
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 5: Incredibly we're spending this much time doing.

514
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: More minutes three and a half minutes, right, it's not

515
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 3: we'll get around to this when we get around the right.

516
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: No, like, there there is legitimately a script like they

517
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: have a they have an exact outline of everything and

518
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 2: and how it's gonna run and all that good.

519
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 5: Stuff, you know.

520
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: Not Coincidentally, the wide receivers that were beating up the

521
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: the padded arms are now working on pressman coverage against

522
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: other wide receivers, you know what I mean, Like, okay,

523
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 3: now do it against the human being, you know, mm hmmmm.

524
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 5: And uh yeah.

525
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: Seeing Will Howard working on some some rolling out and

526
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: throwing offensive line still in front of us working on

527
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: some drills wide receivers working on some separation stuff. Is

528
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: Ben Skronik and DK metcalf Or are doing some work.

529
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: Far side of the field looks like and I think

530
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: that's the safeties and the defensive backs off to the

531
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 2: right there.

532
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're all working on getoff work.

533
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 3: Well, if the front guys are working, I I was

534
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 3: looking at the other ones on the left. The big

535
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 3: dudes are all just in a huge line working on

536
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 3: their get off I think to our right, does that

537
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: look like the off the ball linebackers I believe that

538
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 3: are taking on blocks like from the second level, Yes,

539
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: like a guard that gets through Where the big guys

540
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: on the left are just they're get offs. They're all

541
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 3: in their three point stance, boom bang, taking first couple

542
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 3: of steps where the these guys, these are actually some

543
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: kind of a tackle drill draw, right, I just started

544
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 3: paying attention to those. But I think they're fighting through

545
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 3: a sled and then blasting there.

546
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 4: But that's a true tackling.

547
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 5: That's a real tackling, right, and there's a.

548
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 3: Pad underneath them. But they are truly form tackling after

549
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: getting off.

550
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 5: A block, yep, and then helping each other up, like.

551
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they're not killing each other, but they're

552
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: but they're tacking to the ground.

553
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely, I think it was Alex Highsmith just

554
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: tackled Peyton Wilson there and gave them a gave a

555
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 2: nice gave a nice.

556
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 3: Tap on the hitting on the rise and lifting and

557
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 3: putting them on their back, you know, right yep.

558
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: And then getting through the Yeah, that's a pretty cool

559
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 5: that's a pretty cool drill. They're working on their kind of.

560
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 4: Off the block. We'll get the ball, care in the ground.

561
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: Get off yep, exactly right, see it right seatball, go

562
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 2: get ball and and uh and yeah.

563
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 5: That's what they're working to the right of us.

564
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 4: Off the ball linebackers still.

565
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: Quarterbacks in front of us now working on exchanges with

566
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: the running backs.

567
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: You wouldn't think you have to work on that stuff,

568
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: but you do. If you take a day or two off,

569
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you get a little rusty, get Absolutely,

570
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 3: you don't spend a lot of time on it, but

571
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: you better not ignore it.

572
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: As Aaron Rodgers working on some exchanges with with Caleb

573
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 2: Johnson there in front of us special teamers middle of

574
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: the field. Now, Ben SAAL's drilling a decent length kick there.

575
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: Chris Boswell had a fifty eight yard er. I was

576
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 2: watching early for Matt during during one of our breaks

577
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: early on.

578
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 5: In this portion of practice.

579
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, still still a lot of guys getting, you know,

580
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: getting warmed up, getting into the task, working on Like

581
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: Matt said, it might seem like basics, but but even

582
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: the we you haven't done this stuff for months. I mean,

583
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: you know, you haven't had pads on for months. It's

584
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: it's important you got to lay foundation.

585
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: Even these individual drills are a little higher tempo than

586
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 3: they were last we saw like to left. As I mentioned,

587
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,239
Speaker 3: tackles and tight ends were working together on doubling in

588
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 3: a zone blocking situation where the interiors are doing the

589
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 3: same but.

590
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 4: They're coming off the ball. Hart you know.

591
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 3: I mean they know that their teammate who's it plays

592
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: the same position as them as padded. They're gonna put

593
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: your you know, the helmet right in their chest and

594
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 3: drive them and move them, you know, move them as

595
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 3: if they're eighty.

596
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 4: It's not the same as playing the.

597
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 3: Bengals, you know, but right, yeah, but there is an

598
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 3: intensity to it.

599
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 2: No, there absolutely is, and there has to be and

600
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 2: that's expected. And this is you know, the pad's going on.

601
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: It's getting to the end of July.

Speaker 2: of being a football fan than here. Right now is

629
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna see Aaron Rodgers. He'll take a take a

630
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 2: snap here quick, little almost button hook style route to

631
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf is now the wide receivers and the quarterbacks

632
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: are working on some throwing and this is one of

633
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 2: those things that I enjoy, Matt. It's kind of like

634
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: the assembly line scouting, like you've talked about, just watching

635
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers throw compared to the other quarterbacks. And that's

636
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 2: not a knock on the other quarterbacks. That's a that's

637
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: a compliment to Aaron Rodgers.

638
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 4: The other guys are fine. He's just different.

639
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he ball just just zips out of there

640
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: pretty pretty stinking quickly.

641
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: And uh, just all the arm angles and the way

642
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: that he can manipulate the football and all the different throws.

643
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 4: We were talking about Cameron Johnston, all the.

644
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 3: Clubs he has in his bag. Rogers has every club

645
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 3: in his bag. And what's funny. I don't know if

646
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 3: I ever get a chance to talk to Aaron Rodgers,

647
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 3: and I don't know if he cares one bit. But

648
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 3: when I was with the Browns, he was coming out

649
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 3: that year, and so I watched him at Cal and

650
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: he didn't throw the football like that. He was very

651
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 3: old school.

652
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 4: That's what was taught back then.

653
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: And now you know, everyone knows about Mahomes and all

654
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 3: the crazy stuff he does. Well, Rogers was as innovative

655
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: for his day in terms of arm angles and throwing

656
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 3: off platform and all those different things. I don't know

657
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: if this is one hundred percent true, but many people

658
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 3: have reported that during his Green Bay days, he would

659
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: go entire practices ensuring that he never threw a football

660
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 3: with any part of his body touching grass, that he

661
00:27:59,040 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: was always.

662
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 4: In the air or interesting, Yeah, like today I'm going

663
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 4: to do that.

664
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 5: Interesting.

665
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 3: There's a legendary NBA game where Larry Bird only shoots,

666
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 3: you know that type of thing.

667
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 4: You know, like I might need this in the game.

668
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 3: I don't feel comfortable to and I'm gonna go entire

669
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: practice never have my feet on the ground with.

670
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: Right.

671
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 5: Right, That's very And that's like you were talking about.

672
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 4: When nobody thought of those things before him.

673
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 2: No, you know, no, and when you as you mentioned,

674
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: when you watch him out here as he throws another

675
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: dart to DK Metcalf, everything feels very.

676
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 5: Intentional, very exactly, very purposeful, right right, and like I

677
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 5: will try that, you know. And that's where I think,

678
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 5: you know, like here through two interceptions in.

679
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: Those first four practices, right, Okay, I hope so he's

680
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: trying stuff, he's spinning it.

681
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 4: That's the other thing too, is anyone can I still

682
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 4: make this throw?

683
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 5: Can I still fit it in that type?

684
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 3: And this is true for rookies, it's true for mahomes

685
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 3: all across the league. I hate when I hear man

686
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 3: Dude through three interceptions in practice. Well, him and his

687
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: quarterback coach may have came out that game and said

688
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 3: or that day and been like, you're checking down.

689
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 4: You know you're being conservative. This doesn't matter.

690
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 3: Push the boundary and throw everyone that you're not sure

691
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: if you should or not, you know what I mean,

692
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: Like it's practice, you're practicing.

693
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 5: That's your defensive backs too, that I mean.

694
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: Tomlin might be like, hey, try to drive one in

695
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 3: every chance you get against Joey or whatever. You know

696
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: what I mean, There's more going on behind the scenes.

697
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 3: Not every practice is I'm just gonna try to be

698
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: as precise as possible.

699
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 5: Like a rope perfect as I can, right right. Yeah,

700
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 5: they'll use this.

701
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 3: An algael of time because he's like your baseball background.

702
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 3: Like in spring training, these pitchers, I got a great

703
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 3: curve ball, I got a great slider, but my change

704
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 3: up is questionable.

705
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 5: So you throw.

706
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 3: A ton of change ups and dudes are jacking out

707
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 3: of the three or four run. But it got two

708
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: percent better today, you know. Yes, I mean that's the

709
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 3: way to think about it.

710
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: That's a that's a very good analogy, right there. Let's

711
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: do this too, Matt. Let's let's take another break here.

712
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: We'll do a little bit beefier of a final seg

713
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: as things are starting to pick up and hopefully we'll

714
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: get some real contact, maybe some seven on seven some

715
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: team period.

716
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 5: Right around the corner, West Ruler, Matt Williamson.

717
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 2: It's all happening here on campus the Saint Vincent College.

728
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 5: Seven shots going on right now.

729
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers in the shotgun looks left for DK beckcap

730
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: batted down at the line of scrimmage.

731
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 5: Did you see who got the hand on that one?

732
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 4: I think that was twenty five on a safety.

733
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 5: That Shawn Elliott. Yeah, and Aaron Rodgers has given him

734
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 5: a tap on the helmet right now. Nice play that

735
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 5: was a second rap. That was the second rep.

736
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: First rap was a run right up the gut to

737
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: Caleb Johnson for a touchdown.

738
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: But interesting what they did was they came out in

739
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: like a heavy thirteen goal line package. So the Steelers

740
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 3: had four true defensive linemen on the fields spread him out,

741
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 3: and then Rogers brought him all condensed and had everybody

742
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage near the ball except for

743
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 3: Metcalf one on one to the left and just ran

744
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: up the gut and were successful. I mean, it wasn't

745
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: like the defense got blown off the ball, but you know,

746
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 3: more than the third one here.

747
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 5: Third one we got trips to the right.

748
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 2: It's kind of gain well in the shotgun with Aaron Rodgers,

749
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: Metcalf split out left as Zach Frasier Bark's some instructions.

750
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: Now John new Smith moves in motion.

751
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 5: TJ. Watt might have blown that one up. But Aaron Rodgers, yeah,

752
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 5: oh how you tie that? I think you give that

753
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 5: one to TJ.

754
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 2: But still a nice a nice move and shake by

755
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers to get open and find John new Smith.

756
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 5: But at TJ let up on that one, I mean

757
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 5: he could have he could have blasted the court.

758
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 3: The other thing that happened too is the secondary took

759
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: the first read away because Rogers went to throw out

760
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 3: of the bunch and it wasn't there, and then Smith

761
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: broke free, probably after a sack, yes, yes, or after

762
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 3: a hurry.

763
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna score two of those for the defense,

764
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 5: one for the offense.

765
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 4: Always agree with us, he does not. I think that

766
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 4: was a clear defensive win.

767
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: Aaron or a part of Mason Rudolph in at quarterback

768
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: now yes, As by the way, note Roger Jones for

769
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: seven shots.

770
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 5: No Cam Hayward either.

771
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 4: Cam's just doing his own run and working in front

772
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 4: of us here Rogers in the shotgun Hill right, or

773
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: part of me Rudolf of the shotgun Rudolph Rodgers.

774
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: As that one is completed to Brandon Johnson, the wider

775
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: throw out of Central Florida. And uh so, now the offense,

776
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: by our personal record book up here, tie things up

777
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: at two.

778
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: See a lot of these quick hitting slants at the

779
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 3: line of yeah, in this offense this year, which makes sense.

780
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 4: There's a lot of big bodies. It's Johnny Dka whoever

781
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 4: you know, yep.

782
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 5: As we will have Caleb Johnson check back into the

783
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 5: game at running back.

784
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: Now, offense will stay in the shotgun. Three wide receivers

785
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: to the left. Now room and Wilson moves in motion

786
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: from left to right.

787
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 4: Let's seeing him isolated.

788
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't hate seeing that either.

789
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: We're not going to take the ball and pitch it

790
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 2: to Caleb Johnson who's looking for a hole, but stood

791
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 2: up nicely by Joey Porter Junior and some company there.

792
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, defense really sealed that edge off in a hurry.

793
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 5: They sure did. They sure did. So.

794
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: That would make it three to two now by the defense,

795
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: according to our best estimates.

796
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 5: Let's see, it looks like we are going.

797
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 4: To run there. That just was not blocked well.

798
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: It was not blocked well in the defense quite well. Yeah,

799
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: defense sniffed that one out pretty darn quickly.

800
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 4: We at three to two.

801
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 2: We are at three two to the defense. Yes, And

802
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: it looks like somebody on the defense is a little

803
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: little shake up on the on the far side of

804
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: the field over there, getting some some leg work done.

805
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,719
Speaker 2: I'm trying to see a number there's people around a

806
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 2: big defensive lineman, whoever it is.

807
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 3: I assume it was a number two because the two's

808
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 3: were out there yes, I mean it's not right Hayward

809
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 3: or betting or you know, and I assume I.

810
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 5: Do think that that is.

811
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 2: Look, they're getting him up now. It's why you're black. Okay,

812
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 2: don't want to see that. But looks like hopefully nothing.

813
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 5: It's kind of gingerly walking off the field. They did

814
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 5: get him up pretty quick. Well, we'll keep it exactly right.

815
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 2: We will keep an eye on that as Will Howard

816
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: is about to get his rep now in seven shots

817
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: three to two lead for the defense. It'll be a

818
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: handoff right up the gut and that one's going to

819
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 2: be close.

820
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 4: It was well played. I'm not sure if he end

821
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 4: up getting in or not.

822
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 2: The Max Hurlam and the rookie out of Notre Dame,

823
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if he got in either defense kind.

824
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 4: Of Cary he does running back stuff wide receiver.

825
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 2: And it looks like we're we're gonna get the I

826
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 2: think we are. Yes, one last time. We'll get one

827
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: more rep here with the ones first team offense checking in,

828
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: we'll see some some subs on DEFENBI you know what,

829
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 2: t J. Watt running back into the huddle. So TJ

830
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 2: Wat going to be a part of this rep once again,

831
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: Alex high Smith, Jalen Ramsey, Patrick Queen, pretty much all

832
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: the regulars that you would expect, except for Cam Hayward.

833
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 4: Again.

834
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: Cam is he's out here practicing today, just you don't

835
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 2: need him doing goal line drills in July.

836
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a little wary of what being out there,

837
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 4: but hey yeah.

838
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 5: Yep, uh, it'll be shotgun snap here for Aaron Rodgers

839
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 5: looks like he has tray sermon to his right now

840
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 5: is Robert Woods moves in motion.

841
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin also split out. Pat Fryermouth

842
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 2: the lone tight end. Rogers takes a snap, he fakes

843
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 2: the hand off he's looking, throws the back corner of

844
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: the end zone perfectly for DK Metcalf gets the toes

845
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 2: down and that is a good way to end for

846
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 2: the offense.

847
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 4: Hopefully, hopefully we see a lot.

848
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 3: Took a little time to develop, yes, I mean in

849
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 3: terms of pass rushing things, but you know.

850
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 4: It was effective. I mean that's a hard, hard route

851
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 4: to cover that late and down.

852
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 5: No, it absolutely is.

853
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: So seven shots over by our scoring, I would give

854
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 2: the defense a four to three victory. I think, so

855
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 2: it was close, but I would say a two to

856
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 2: two split in the four reps between the ones. As now,

857
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: this is always one of my favorite things, Matt. You

858
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 2: could see all the all the media members, all the

859
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: journalists jogging down to the far end zone. I wonder

860
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 2: if that I think I was just going to say,

861
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 2: we're about to get some backs on backers.

862
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 5: It looks like they're going to do it in this

863
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 5: end zone. Two, which would be good, will be.

864
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 3: Always down in the okay, first end zone in the

865
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 3: far corner.

866
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 5: Okay, For some reason, I thought it was one.

867
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 4: They use this field for one on ones for the routes,

868
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 4: which is a big deal too.

869
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: They're just as I was going to say, this is

870
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: gonna be this is gonna be interesting, Matt, because we've

871
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: got wide receivers and DB's about to do one on

872
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: ones in front of us, so we got backs on

873
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,399
Speaker 2: backers down there in the corner and line D line.

874
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 3: It's so hard to watch because I mean, it's tough

875
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 3: to watch the big guys in general in terms of

876
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 3: where their hands are on the inside, you know, those

877
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 3: type of things, and it's just far so backs on

878
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 3: backers is the easiest thing. All these other two things

879
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 3: are the easiest thing to watch. But see what we got.

880
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 5: They're still getting lined up.

881
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: Looks like we're gonna get of course, DK Metcalf versus

882
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 2: Jaalen Ramsey here for the first rep. Let's watch this

883
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: before we turn our attention to backs on backers down

884
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 2: the sideline. Metcalf looking and just go never found it.

885
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 2: It looks like is it gonna be Pat Fryer? No,

886
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 2: never mind, he was just talking. One of the coaches,

887
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 2: Washington was out there and there, ye Mooth and high

888
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: Smith is your first rep.

889
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 5: And move Smith pushing him back, but Mooth held his

890
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 5: own on that. You'll take that. That's good. That's a

891
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 5: good rep.

892
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 4: That's a matchup you want if the Steelers are playing series.

893
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 2: The Beanie Bishop, just Beanie Bishop just intercepted pass intended

894
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: for Calvin Austin. Tell you what that guy's got to

895
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 2: know for the football, Mister Williamson, it looks like Jalen

896
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 2: Warn against Patrick Queen for your second rep.

897
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 3: This is gonna We haven't seen Queen a lot as

898
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 3: a pass rusher blitzer, but he was very effective at

899
00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 3: it with.

900
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 5: I think we could see more of it this year.

901
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 5: And he kind of feigns that he's going for the

902
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 5: power move there and then tries to sidestep a little bit.

903
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 5: Jayleen Warren got a piece of him.

904
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 2: I wonder if they'll run that one back between the Yeah,

905
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 2: although Caleb Johnson is running up there, he wants, he wants,

906
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 2: he wants.

907
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: Johnson's the one that needs it, needs the reps. Yes,

908
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 3: I mean they did not throw the ball hardly at

909
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 3: all in Iowa.

910
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, they did not.

911
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: In fact, I think what they only did They only

912
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 2: have nine touchdown throws last year, something which is which

913
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 2: is nuts. Darnell Washington against Is that Peyton Wilson?

914
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 5: Now? Oh no, that was t J Watt. Part of

915
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 5: me was Darnell against TJ. Darnel.

916
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 2: Good job by Darnell to slow him down. Yeah, absolutely,

917
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 2: tight ends. They are asking a lot of these tight ends.

918
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 2: Will be Kenneth Gainwell now against Peyton Wilson. Eddie Faulkner

919
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: barking out some instructions and good move there by Peyton

920
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 2: Wilson to get Aroundtle Ginell put his head down a little.

921
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 4: Also a very effective blitzer.

922
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, he was.

923
00:38:58,520 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 4: Indeed we talk about that.

924
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 3: Vince Williams, you know, three four sacks a game off

925
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 3: the second from the second level.

926
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 4: I think you might see more of that.

927
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: Her big against john who Smith. Good battle going on

928
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: right there now down in the end zone as it is.

929
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: Funny man, everybody, everybody is congregated over there for backs

930
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 2: on the Packers right now. It's like nothing else is

931
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 2: even going on and in their world. Malik Harrison against

932
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 2: Caleb Johnson.

933
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 4: That was well done by Johnson.

934
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 5: I was going to say, pushed him way off his

935
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 5: path there.

936
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 3: Harrison's a power player, it looks going to say.

937
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 5: It looks like Eddie Faulkner wants to see that one again.

938
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 4: See how he handles power. I bet he tries to

939
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 4: go right through.

940
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 5: They are lined up here we go, and he went

941
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 5: right through him, old man and took him back.

942
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: But hey, that's that's not terrible. That's not terrible. That's

943
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 2: what it's all about. Caleb Johnson wins the first rep. Harrison, Yeah, yeah, absolutely,

944
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 2: that's that's.

945
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 4: Enough to get the ball out.

946
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 5: Great, that's what you that's what you want to see

947
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 5: in this situation. Looks like, uh, looks like they're going

948
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 5: to run it back for a rubber match here, Matt,

949
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 5: those three or those two part of.

950
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,320
Speaker 4: Me, Okay, just shows that they're high on Johnson.

951
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 5: It is.

952
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 4: Can you handle power?

953
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 5: Yep, picture pick them up nicely there on the.

954
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 4: Third one got his hands a little to the outside

955
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 4: that could have been potentially a hold, but he got

956
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 4: he got, he let go pretty quick.

957
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 2: Mason Rudolph throwing one down the sideline. Nice catch there

958
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: by Keishawn Williams, the rookie out of Indiana.

959
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 3: Don't quote me on this, and do my best to

960
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 3: kind of keep one eye on the left of us

961
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 3: the little guys.

962
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 4: And it looks like the defense has been winning more,

963
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 4: but it's hard to tell.

964
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 5: I think so good.

965
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Alex high Smith there just threw somebody to

966
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 2: the ground, yea, very easily trying to see. Oh that

967
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 2: was Trey Sermon, I believe, and Tray Sermon is asking

968
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 2: for for another go here, so those two will run

969
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: it back.

970
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 5: High Smith once again.

971
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: Going hour that time probably got the better but better

972
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: rapped by by Tray Sermon.

973
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 4: There, like Smith is coming to the quarterbacks right yeah,

974
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 4: make me think they are going to move those guys.

975
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: Move those guys around a little bit here. See, that's

976
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 2: that's the observations we're looking for. Matt Williamson is gonna

977
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: be Connor Hayward here now against Ekuleota.

978
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 5: Uh. He's second year man out of Auburn. As uh.

979
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, good move by to kind of

980
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 5: keep him outside there.

981
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 3: Now some of these tight ends have drifted down to

982
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 3: the y. I was gonna say, Pat, have to split time.

983
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 5: Pat Friar move is running a route on Jaylen Ramsey,

984
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 5: and Jaylen Ramsey's giving him the thumbs down, talking trash

985
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 5: to him.

986
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Ramsey is not one to be bashful.

987
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 2: Oh he's he's barking at Friar moove and and and

988
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers kind of calming him down a little bit.

989
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 5: Nice catch there by John new Smith, that coverage top

990
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 5: of Yeah, that's very open, very was that was that on.

991
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 4: The throw against but he was all over him much

992
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 4: of the route.

993
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: He absolutely absolutely was here as uh. This is fun, Matt,

994
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 2: This is what was hard. It's a lot to watch.

995
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: It's a deep shot here for Calvin Austin and he

996
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: beats Darius Slay to the end zone for that one.

997
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 5: That's the speed we need from Calvin Austin right there.

998
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 4: Mark Robinson just had a really good rep tour right too.

999
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 5: He's kind of forgotten to say. There's a name.

1000
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 3: I think we've said yet. They have a lot of

1001
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 3: linebackers and he's been around for a little while.

1002
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 5: He has ability running him back here again.

1003
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 4: That's another one.

1004
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 5: My goodness, he just put he's.

1005
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 4: An explosive player.

1006
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 5: He just put Evan Hall, the second year running back

1007
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 5: out of Northwestern, on his wallet.

1008
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 3: I always talking about guys that are like make or

1009
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 3: break point of their career.

1010
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 5: He's one.

1011
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 4: He's one of those guys.

1012
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 5: And there's there's Marvin Leal, There's there's those guys on

1013
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 5: every NFL team everywhere. Every year feels like the Steelers.

1014
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 2: Every year, it seems like the Steelers have a maybe

1015
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: just a few more than than usual this year.

1016
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 3: Like I put Austin on that list last year and

1017
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 3: he and he made it, you know what I mean.

1018
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 2: Calf with an incredible move past Joey Porter.

1019
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 4: That was his physicality and strength and oh.

1020
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 2: My goodness, and that's a good that's a good teaching moment.

1021
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: Theary for Joey Porter junior, and Aaron Rodgers finds him with.

1022
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 4: A he caught him leaning a little and just clubbed

1023
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 4: them in the back of Reggie White.

1024
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a very good, very good analogy as uh geez,

1025
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 2: I feel like we've completely ignored the offensive and defensive lineman.

1026
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 4: If you have to pick, you have to ignore those.

1027
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, from where we sit, Johnny, there's great stuff probably

1028
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 3: going on separation.

1029
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I tell you what. He just for a tight

1030
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 2: end man for his size. He's so fluid, he's so sharp. Uh,

1031
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 2: getting the better of the Shawn Elliott there, Let's see.

1032
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 2: I thought Jayalen Ramsey was coming up to the line

1033
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: of scrimmage, but he's actually going over and talking to

1034
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 2: Joey Porter Jr. Right now, Hey, what you see on

1035
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 2: that one with DK Here's how he got you here.

1036
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: And if that's what it's all about, I mean these

1037
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: teachable moments as a good rep there between Corey Trice

1038
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 2: and Robert Woods. I do believe at the end of practice,

1039
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,879
Speaker 2: Corey Trice is going to be calling into the show

1040
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 2: today as well too, so have that to look forward to.

1041
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we got that's that's some good on good

1042
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 2: Let's see if those tools will.

1043
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,359
Speaker 4: Looks that run it back. Yes, Washington is for sure,

1044
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 4: I can't. I think That'shi Smith again, I.

1045
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 5: Think so too, But it's also tightly congested on their No,

1046
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 5: it's the Marvin Lee out and those two engaged and

1047
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 5: a little.

1048
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 4: Bit of a stale like I kind of caught it

1049
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 4: late out of the corner eye.

1050
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 2: As the backs on backers physicality continues. The wide receivers

1051
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 2: against the DB's Roman Wilson trying to go up and

1052
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 2: get one, but that one knocked down by Brandon Eckles.

1053
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's another guy who Ano.

1054
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 3: The guy gets forgotten a little bit trade, but they

1055
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 3: acquired him for a reason and he has a lot

1056
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 3: of quality reps with the Jets.

1057
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 2: He absolutely does six year man experience, but still young,

1058
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 2: right in the prime of his career.

1059
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 3: Side outside special teams, he'll be useful every game.

1060
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,919
Speaker 5: Then nice rep there.

1061
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, before that was a Rock Taylor, the rookie rookie

1062
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 2: wide receiver ud f A out of Memphis. As things

1063
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 2: are slowing down a little bit now, I think this

1064
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 2: period about overlooks like we'll have a couple more reps

1065
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: year between wide.

1066
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 5: Receivers and d b's as backs on backers still ongoing

1067
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 5: down on the end zone.

1068
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 4: Big guys are still added too.

1069
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 5: Big guys are still at it on the far side

1070
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 5: of it.

1071
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 4: He's always a pretty extensive period.

1072
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a little bit of a longer period here,

1073
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 2: if you will. Trying to see down there, it's tough

1074
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 2: because a lot of these guys too, you know, have

1075
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: their jerseys rolled up and everything, and you could hardly

1076
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 2: see the numbers. But I think it was Peyton Wilson

1077
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 2: down there just got the better of Kenneth Gainwell on

1078
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: a on a backs on back of rep game.

1079
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 3: Weell's decent in protection for his size, but I worry

1080
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 3: about it a little bit.

1081
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, well they just ran it back there. Gainwell.

1082
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 2: Now they're oh, man, that is a that's a good

1083
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 2: long rep there between those two.

1084
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 4: That's a good response.

1085
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 2: Good response by Gainwell, and they both kind of a

1086
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 2: kind of high five after going at it.

1087
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 4: Competitive.

1088
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 5: That's what you you want to see.

1089
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 2: You want to see guys going at it and then

1090
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 2: when it's done, they you know, they they high five

1091
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: and get back in line, and hey, that's that's that

1092
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: iron sharpen and iron that we allways talk about, right. Ye,

1093
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 2: a couple more reps here, it appears. I do wish

1094
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 2: the last couple of.

1095
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 5: Practices they had the clock turned around so we could

1096
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 5: see exactly how much time was left.

1097
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 2: In each period, like trying to balance, like should we

1098
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 2: go to break now or should we wait another minute

1099
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: or two? What if something crazy happens right as we

1100
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 2: go to break. But I do think that.

1101
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 5: This period looks like it is.

1102
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 2: It is pretty much winding down, and you know what,

1103
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 2: we've got the big boys heading over to this field.

1104
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: So let's take a break now, well reset for the

1105
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 2: three o'clock hour. Maybe get some team period stuff here

1106
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,240

1107
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,239
