2:39
Speaker 2: Matthews returns to the Irish Theaters Podcast. A great listen,
2:42
Speaker 2: great breakdown in the preseason so far. Here is Missy
2:45
Speaker 2: on the Irish Theaters Podcast. Okay, another week all of
2:50
Speaker 2: preseason action for the Staters coming up. We're delivel with
2:53
Speaker 2: on the Irish Theaters Podcast to bring back very quickly
2:55
Speaker 2: after her last appearance Staters Reporter obviously with the Pittsburgh Seeders.
2:59
Speaker 2: Missy Matthews Missy. It's good to see you again. How
3:01
Speaker 2: are you doing good.
3:02
Speaker 3: I'm good. I'm counting down, you know, the days and weeks.
3:06
Speaker 4: So we are in Dublin, in your territory, but you know,
3:10
Speaker 4: wrapping up training camp in the preseason, and it's crazy
3:13
Speaker 4: that it's almost here.
3:15
Speaker 2: It's crazy because it's funny you mentioned that, like I
3:18
Speaker 2: think it's like the go to question for any guest
3:20
Speaker 2: on a podcast night. And I know we've spoke about
3:22
Speaker 2: it before, but we were speaking about it off camera.
3:24
Speaker 2: It's flying in now. Like again, we're what six weeks
3:27
Speaker 2: os and obviously when it comes to that, there's so
3:30
Speaker 2: much more involved in that football as well. And we'll
3:33
Speaker 2: not talk about when you're going to get in, but
3:34
Speaker 2: you know how excited you just just to get over
3:37
Speaker 2: here and hopefully for yourself see a bit of the
3:39
Speaker 2: city as well.
3:40
Speaker 3: I'm pomped. It's a place I've never been to before.
3:44
Speaker 4: Obviously, I understand the risk rich history nected to the
3:50
Speaker 4: island because of the Rooney family and have heard so
3:52
Speaker 4: much about it, and I just I was very blown
3:56
Speaker 4: away when we went to London in twenty thirteen, you know,
3:59
Speaker 4: standing on the pitch, it was just one of those
4:02
Speaker 4: like crazy moments where you're like, am I seriously here
4:04
Speaker 4: right now? And I feel like Croke Park has that
4:06
Speaker 4: same mystique, so like can't wait to do that, but
4:09
Speaker 4: just can't wait to explore and as you said, hopefully
4:12
Speaker 4: do some like non work things. But I think even
4:16
Speaker 4: work things in Ireland I would consider fun.
4:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know there's a lot planned which I know
4:21
Speaker 2: people are going to find out, but very soon looking forward,
4:23
Speaker 2: so I'm sure we'll get the chance to me as well.
4:25
Speaker 2: Honestly looking forward to seeing not just Staters fans, but
4:28
Speaker 2: fl fans in the city that weekend. It's going to
4:29
Speaker 2: be really really cool. If you're neutral, you've got to
4:32
Speaker 2: support the designated home team, folks, if you're listening to this,
4:34
Speaker 2: you got support the Staters and this see really cool
4:37
Speaker 2: time over here. We have the chance. So the preseason
4:40
Speaker 2: games are on Virsion Media over here, which is one
4:43
Speaker 2: of the national broadcasters over here, and also fans can
4:47
Speaker 2: listen to the broadcast on OTV Sports Radio, so people
4:50
Speaker 2: got a chance to check out the broadcast last weekend.
4:53
Speaker 2: Do you like you've worked for the team for a while,
4:55
Speaker 2: do you find it crazy and a good way that
4:57
Speaker 2: fans now can actually be connected to the point where
5:00
Speaker 2: they can sit at midnight on a Saturday night and
5:02
Speaker 2: see everybody from the Staters media team talking about the game.
5:05
Speaker 4: I mean, the outreach is crazy. I remember when it
5:09
Speaker 4: was first, you know, we had like a Mexico broadcast team,
5:15
Speaker 4: you know that was crazy, or even just being able
5:18
Speaker 4: to see the games, and it just feels like it's
5:20
Speaker 4: expanding and expanding.
5:21
Speaker 3: But it makes total sense.
5:22
Speaker 4: And I just think the Steelers are such a popular
5:25
Speaker 4: team even you know, if you grew up in Pittsburgh
5:29
Speaker 4: and moved away, you're still a Steelers fan and you're
5:31
Speaker 4: raising your kids to be a Steelers fan. You don't
5:33
Speaker 4: have to just be in the city. And I think it,
5:36
Speaker 4: you know, we've talked about it before. Just anytime we
5:38
Speaker 4: go on the road for an away game, it's insane
5:42
Speaker 4: how many Steelers fans are there.
5:45
Speaker 2: I met so like obviously went over to the Trope
5:47
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, and we just missed each
5:48
Speaker 2: other on that day for some reason. We'll obviously meete
5:51
Speaker 2: up in Dublin. But I met fans, and look, I
5:54
Speaker 2: know it's one thing people in Europe saying this, but
5:55
Speaker 2: I met Staters fans that have flew into a family
5:58
Speaker 2: day on the Sunday. I think it was a third
5:59
Speaker 2: of all California from different states, like on the West Coast,
6:04
Speaker 2: on the East coast, and when people, if you if
6:07
Speaker 2: fans over here actually think about it, like the size
6:09
Speaker 2: of Europe and the size of the US, that's a
6:11
Speaker 2: big deal for people to fly into something like that.
6:13
Speaker 2: I really liked how interactive it was. And the thing
6:17
Speaker 2: that really got me, Missy was, yes, the players are
6:20
Speaker 2: there to train to do their job, but there's so
6:23
Speaker 2: many opportunities for fans to interact with the players at
6:26
Speaker 2: the end, like the amount of players to stay behind
6:28
Speaker 2: at the end and spoke to the fans on the hill,
6:29
Speaker 2: and even that walk up and down. It's really specialism.
6:33
Speaker 3: It's cool. Yeah, I think it. Like you said, it's
6:38
Speaker 3: just when they leave the.
6:39
Speaker 4: Locker room, there's barriers, but fans are literally right there,
6:43
Speaker 4: like you're getting a high five from somebody if you
6:45
Speaker 4: secure one of those spots. And I can tell you
6:47
Speaker 4: that every morning, it did not matter how early I
6:50
Speaker 4: was driving onto campus, cars lined up waiting to get
6:54
Speaker 4: into the parking lot, which did not open until eleven am.
6:57
Speaker 3: And that was only towards.
6:59
Speaker 4: I think the first two days it was twelve and
7:01
Speaker 4: then they moved it to eleven because there were just
7:03
Speaker 4: people lining the outskirts of campus just to get a
7:07
Speaker 4: parking spot and then just to get in. And you
7:11
Speaker 4: we always caught like the running of the bulls, Like
7:14
Speaker 4: when they open those gates, people run because they know
7:17
Speaker 4: where some of the good spots are.
7:18
Speaker 3: And then you're sitting there holding, you know, down the.
7:22
Speaker 4: Forward of your spot for hours almost to get a
7:26
Speaker 4: glimpse or a high five, or an autograph or a
7:29
Speaker 4: glove of whatever of your favorite player or.
7:33
Speaker 3: Just any stealer.
7:34
Speaker 4: And it's really cool, even like Arthur Smith every day
7:38
Speaker 4: walking up the one way, you know, everything is up
7:41
Speaker 4: a hill, I feel like from that field, but going
7:44
Speaker 4: towards where like the coaches and players dorm and have meetings.
7:48
Speaker 4: Like every day I was there, I saw him signing.
7:51
Speaker 4: You know, it's not just players. Coach Tomlin does it too.
7:55
Speaker 4: It's just it is really cool. As you said, I
7:58
Speaker 4: understand why people want to experience it. When Pat McAfee
8:02
Speaker 4: and his crew were there, he was joking, but it's serious.
8:05
Speaker 4: It's like if you grow up in Pittsburgh, it's a
8:07
Speaker 4: rite of passage that you have to go to Steelers
8:09
Speaker 4: training camp at some point in your life.
8:11
Speaker 3: And even when I was talking to my brother who
8:13
Speaker 3: lives in Florida.
8:14
Speaker 4: The other day, he was like, what year did we
8:17
Speaker 4: go from that one photo? You know, like you're trying
8:19
Speaker 4: to think back, but you know that you were there,
8:23
Speaker 4: and it's just.
8:24
Speaker 3: Really cool to see, especially when the people.
8:27
Speaker 4: From outside of the area come and when they're you know,
8:31
Speaker 4: getting on a plane, running a hotel.
8:33
Speaker 3: It's cool.
8:35
Speaker 2: It is and I really would recommend anybody listening then
8:37
Speaker 2: if you get a chance, try and go next year.
8:39
Speaker 2: Maybe we can go at the same time. We will
8:40
Speaker 2: see what happens. Yeah, And one of the big things
8:43
Speaker 2: that have changed my seasons we last spoke to a
8:46
Speaker 2: more developed extent is the impact on the obviously the
8:51
Speaker 2: introduction of Aaron Rodgers to this team and how do
8:54
Speaker 2: you find him in camp? Because I was really excited
8:57
Speaker 2: to see how the offense was sort of jalleng even
8:59
Speaker 2: being there one day. How do you find him coming
9:01
Speaker 2: into the team so far.
9:03
Speaker 4: I think like he is everything and more that they
9:06
Speaker 4: hoped for. I know coach Tomlin just talked about how
9:10
Speaker 4: he when they were talking on the phone before Aaron
9:13
Speaker 4: decided to come here, even before he signed.
9:16
Speaker 3: It was like he wanted to know his.
9:17
Speaker 4: Why, Like why at forty one four time MVP, we've
9:21
Speaker 4: won a super Bowl already, Like why do you want
9:23
Speaker 4: to go to a new.
9:23
Speaker 3: Team, Why do you want to start from scratch? Why
9:26
Speaker 3: do you want to play with young kids?
9:28
Speaker 4: And he's like I was so comfortable with his why
9:31
Speaker 4: and his love of the game, which is how I
9:35
Speaker 4: feel like coach views it, like the love of the game,
9:37
Speaker 4: almost like a steward of it, and even from a
9:41
Speaker 4: historical perspective. But he has been super accommodating. Like when
9:47
Speaker 4: we had a chance to do a sit down interview
9:49
Speaker 4: with him, it wasn't rushed, He wasn't, you know, giving
9:52
Speaker 4: quick answers.
9:53
Speaker 3: He was extremely articulate and thoughtful.
9:57
Speaker 4: He's funny, you know, and I just you see why
10:01
Speaker 4: the players gravitate towards him. It's even the small things,
10:06
Speaker 4: like when they're warming up, he makes sure he's always
10:09
Speaker 4: by the defensive guys, you know, like he's not with
10:11
Speaker 4: offensive guys and that's small and little, but you know,
10:14
Speaker 4: he's going with the third string guys. He does not care.
10:18
Speaker 4: He eats lunch with different people. He's just really made
10:22
Speaker 4: it a point to like immerse himself and to let
10:26
Speaker 4: people see who he is and not what they think
10:30
Speaker 4: he is, if that makes sense. But I just think
10:33
Speaker 4: even you know, he didn't touch a football other than
10:36
Speaker 4: warming up in Jacksonville with Pat fried Ruth and DK Metcalf,
10:39
Speaker 4: but he had, you.
10:40
Speaker 3: Know, one of the coaches.
10:44
Speaker 4: Headsets on during the game and just helping guys, talking
10:48
Speaker 4: to Arthur Smith. It's just he does everything right, if
10:52
Speaker 4: that makes sense. But it's from a very genuine place, and.
10:56
Speaker 2: It's one of those things for people listening and they
10:58
Speaker 2: might not get too close to the eyes action when
11:00
Speaker 2: they're not there, like I seeing at the end of
11:02
Speaker 2: practice he sat down and it was a warm day.
11:06
Speaker 2: I think anybody, whether you were running or not, was
11:08
Speaker 2: probably tired after even standing there for a couple of hours,
11:10
Speaker 2: never mind dannathing else. He sat and took pictures of
11:14
Speaker 2: kids who were on the field for maybe ten twenty minutes.
11:17
Speaker 2: We got a chance to chat to him, and the
11:18
Speaker 2: thing that stood out to me was just how not
11:21
Speaker 2: not chilled, but also very like assertive he was. And
11:24
Speaker 2: he just seems very relaxed at this point in his career,
11:27
Speaker 2: so it's very it's going to be very interesting to
11:29
Speaker 2: see how he does with his team, and also it's
11:31
Speaker 2: obviously very exciting. And that comes into really sort of
11:34
Speaker 2: looking back on last week on this game in Jacksonville.
11:38
Speaker 2: It's hard to pinpoint certain things from preseason, but we
11:42
Speaker 2: know there's a lot of first stringers that might not play.
11:44
Speaker 2: But if you had, if you had any key takeaways
11:47
Speaker 2: from that game this see what would they have been.
11:50
Speaker 5: I mean the offense used the middle of the field,
11:53
Speaker 5: they were moving the ball, they took care of the football,
11:55
Speaker 5: there were no interceptions, and yeah, I know it's not
12:00
Speaker 5: Rogers in the first team, but I just think that
12:02
Speaker 5: it was a refreshing thing to see coming from an
12:05
Speaker 5: Arthur Smith offense in year two.
12:09
Speaker 3: Just some of the things.
12:10
Speaker 4: Even Mason Brudolph, I mean, he was only gone for
12:12
Speaker 4: a year, but it feels like he came back like
12:14
Speaker 4: rejuvenated or something, and really mesh as well with what
12:18
Speaker 4: Arthur is asking him to do. And I think the defense,
12:23
Speaker 4: like I just I cannot wait until we can finally
12:27
Speaker 4: see the three headed monster, as Cam Hayward called it
12:29
Speaker 4: of Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Junior and Darius lay out
12:33
Speaker 4: there together with you know, all of the rest of
12:36
Speaker 4: the first teamers, just to see it in a game,
12:39
Speaker 4: because they're talking a lot about it very confidently, and
12:44
Speaker 4: I don't think you do that if you're not that confident.
12:48
Speaker 4: You know, it's it takes a little bit, I think,
12:52
Speaker 4: to say, you know, we're gonna be one of the
12:54
Speaker 4: top defenses.
12:56
Speaker 3: You don't just say that. It's not, you know, some
12:59
Speaker 3: wishy washy thing. And I think they mean it. So
13:03
Speaker 3: I'm very excited to see how it all plays out.
13:05
Speaker 4: I love all of the draft picks that they got
13:08
Speaker 4: to but I mean, you know, free agency and trades
13:11
Speaker 4: are just insane. When you go back and look at
13:14
Speaker 4: the timeline of when the season ended in Baltimore and
13:17
Speaker 4: then all the pieces that moved or came all the
13:22
Speaker 4: way up to training camp.
13:23
Speaker 3: It's nuts.
13:25
Speaker 2: It's great to see. And if we sort of look
13:27
Speaker 2: ahead to this week, it's going to be Sunday morning
13:29
Speaker 2: for us. It's a Saturday night obviously, Sunday morning midnight
13:33
Speaker 2: time our time. It's on Virgin Media on television, and
13:36
Speaker 2: also you can listen on Off the Ball Sports radio.
13:39
Speaker 2: You can get the go Light op to listen there
13:41
Speaker 2: Steelers home open or in the preseason to an extent
13:45
Speaker 2: against the Books. When we get down to now where
13:48
Speaker 2: we've got last preseason games, mess say, we know when
13:50
Speaker 2: we get to that second and third game, we are
13:52
Speaker 2: seeing someone whose guys sacond first tringers. But still a
13:55
Speaker 2: lot to look forward to because we try and just
13:57
Speaker 2: get better every week. This week against the Books.
14:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that's it. It's a process. And
14:03
Speaker 3: when it was.
14:03
Speaker 4: Four games, you know it was the third game where
14:06
Speaker 4: you would see people. Now it's kind of usually the
14:09
Speaker 4: second game because there's only three preseason games where you see.
14:12
Speaker 3: More of the ones.
14:13
Speaker 4: But even like a Calvin Austen, you know he's missed
14:17
Speaker 4: some practice time because he's been hurt.
14:18
Speaker 3: Like, I want to see him out on the field.
14:19
Speaker 3: I don't care which quarterbacks throwing to him.
14:21
Speaker 4: Because he has the ability to continue to have his
14:26
Speaker 4: arrow pointed up. As coach Melan said, building off of
14:28
Speaker 4: last year Caleb Johnson, you know he needs as many
14:32
Speaker 4: rookie snaps as he can get in the preseason.
14:36
Speaker 3: I think obviously you.
14:37
Speaker 4: Know some good and some bad from that first game,
14:39
Speaker 4: but I just want to see him continue to work
14:42
Speaker 4: he is one of those guys that has that mentality.
14:44
Speaker 4: He's physical, he is you know, puts his head down
14:48
Speaker 4: and does all the right things as a rookie and
14:51
Speaker 4: really listens to a lot of the veterans and whatnot.
14:54
Speaker 3: But it'll be exciting to see.
14:57
Speaker 4: We don't know exactly who's playing or who's not just yet,
15:01
Speaker 4: but I think even like you said, it's the only
15:03
Speaker 4: home game, it's the home opener for the preseason.
15:07
Speaker 3: Does coach announce the offense or the defense?
15:09
Speaker 4: Does he do the offense and let Aaron Rodgers run
15:12
Speaker 4: out that tunnel whether he's playing or not, Like you know,
15:14
Speaker 4: I that's my boys are going to the game with
15:16
Speaker 4: my husband and they're like, who's playing, who's not? You know,
15:20
Speaker 4: they want to know, and it's I just think there's
15:23
Speaker 4: a buzz and there's excitement, Not that there isn't every season,
15:26
Speaker 4: but there's just there's something slightly different.
15:29
Speaker 3: And I think it's because.
15:31
Speaker 4: Of all the changes that have happened and how it
15:33
Speaker 4: seems to be coming to fruition from La Trobe now
15:37
Speaker 4: back into Pittsburgh.
15:39
Speaker 3: As we're what three weeks away from the season starting.
15:43
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy, scary times scary times and a
15:46
Speaker 2: great way, as we say in art and scary Biscuits said,
15:49
Speaker 2: I'm really really pumped. This is probably the last time
15:52
Speaker 2: we're going to have you on I'd say before that
15:54
Speaker 2: Dublin week on this podcast when I'll ask you this
15:56
Speaker 2: before we go, And really interesting to start to the season.
16:00
Speaker 2: That's on the road week one. We all know obviously
16:02
Speaker 2: Justin Fay is gonna. Actually had the chance to meet
16:04
Speaker 2: him two weeks ago and we talked about that and
16:06
Speaker 2: he said he cannot wait until lack games. What's gonna
16:10
Speaker 2: be interesting that And then obviously home opener, go on
16:13
Speaker 2: the road East Coast. I like that East Coast game
16:15
Speaker 2: before the trip to Ireland. It's a nice start to
16:18
Speaker 2: the season. And look for for anah and like, well
16:20
Speaker 2: how many games, like every game is so important? Do
16:23
Speaker 2: you like that starts? And just watch your thoughts with
16:25
Speaker 2: those first few weeks just before we wrap up.
16:27
Speaker 3: I like the one o'clock starts selfishly, but I feel like,
16:31
Speaker 3: especially that week three, if you're gonna go on the
16:33
Speaker 3: road before you have to travel to Dublin, it better
16:37
Speaker 3: be an early game, not coming off like a Sunday
16:39
Speaker 3: night or something. And I know you know, once.
16:41
Speaker 4: The schedule's out there, it's not that you can change it,
16:43
Speaker 4: but we can all complain about it. But I do
16:46
Speaker 4: think it's you know, Justin Field's playing his old team,
16:49
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers playing his old team, and then week two
16:52
Speaker 4: it's like the DK Metcalf Bowl, you know, with the
16:57
Speaker 4: Seahawks coming to town.
16:58
Speaker 1: So it is.
16:59
Speaker 4: Interesting and I think think, you know, the New England
17:01
Speaker 4: Patriots are a different New England Patriots team, then we're
17:04
Speaker 4: all used to seeing a different head coach.
17:06
Speaker 3: Even they're a rookie running back.
17:08
Speaker 4: I've seen a lot of flashes from him, just you know,
17:11
Speaker 4: reading things and trying to stay up with the rest
17:13
Speaker 4: of the league.
17:14
Speaker 3: So it'll definitely be interesting for sure.
17:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, I more so wish our bye week was later
17:22
Speaker 4: than what happens before we go to Dublin, but I
17:26
Speaker 4: also kind of understand why.
17:27
Speaker 3: It's that week.
17:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of those things, I guess when you're
17:31
Speaker 2: an international fund it's like sometimes it works and sometimes
17:34
Speaker 2: as well, like the league just put it down there
17:36
Speaker 2: as well, So like I actually like it. I like
17:38
Speaker 2: the way that there's a bit of a reset there
17:40
Speaker 2: and they come back, especially because we don't know how
17:41
Speaker 2: the season's going to start, and hopefully it starts well
17:45
