• 3:00
  Speaker 3: the podcast. You're a busy mom in this off season
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: that has the off season been treating you almi.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Mon, but the off season has been great.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, the NFL, the great thing about
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: it is they don't really have off seasons, so when
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: I can carve out my.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Pockets, I'm very excited.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: But you know, Combine, I went to Combine, just left
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: owners meetings a week ago, and of course the draft
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: coming up in two weeks. So I mean a lot
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: of excitement in the NFL surrounding. You know this time
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: of year.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: We had a chance to briefly shots. It was great
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: to see you in New Orleans for the Super Bowl.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: But then also on the day at South it was released.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I think you guys were back over at home at
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: that point and just to talk about it, Nile on
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: the podcast one to one, how excited there you on?
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: How I could is at to see the theaters, you know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: finally play this regular season game and Harden this year.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's a long time coming.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: I mean one of the things I think that I
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: think more important is DMR right. I mean, Dan Rooney
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: pushed for this, wanted this for so long, his tireless
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: efforts to get this game back to back to back
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: to the homeland for the Rooney family. You know, it
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: was instilled in all of us as players like we
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: took that pride that the Rooneys had for Ireland, for
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Irish culture and for the deep connection of Ireland with
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: the Steelers and plays on their traditions and how they
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: are as an organization. So it's a very it's a
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: very happy moment, very you know, momentous occasion. Cannot wait
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: for it. It can't come fast enough. Man, you just
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: you just got butterflies.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: We're hoping to hear that hopefully a few weeks after
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the draft, according to NFL UK and Ireland GM Henry
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Hodgson looking forward to hearing not and if you want
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: to hear his podcast, you can go back, folks a
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: few weeks on.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Listen to that.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Max just just on this day and if we look
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: ahead to the draft very quickly. The Steelers actually came
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: out on Tuesday for the Irish market on announce for
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the first time ever, they're going to have a draft
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: party there on the Saturday of Draft weekend in Crow
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Park where the game is going to be. I believe
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: for people this that is the first ever official NFL
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: draft party on the island of Ireland, which is really cool.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: And I was talking a little bit to Mat Williamson
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: last week. But you guys have a real party in
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh as well. I know the draft is going to
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: be in Pittsburgh next year, but it's really going up
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: on option now in this say new season prep with
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: with the draft coming up.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I think that this is that kind of
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: you're trying to premeditate, right of what to expect. Would
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: you actually get the draft in your city and people
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: invade Pittsburgh, so to speak, for three days to cheer
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: for their teams, which will be a little bit different,
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: right because we're used to dominating, you know, on game
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: days when the when an opponent comes, but you got
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: thirty one other opponents, you can't you can't hold the line,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: you know, against thirty one other teams coming there to celebrate.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: So I think it's kind of a warm up for
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: the city to get ready for, you know, the chaos
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: that is draft. I'll be in Green Bay calling the draft,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: so I'll get a little warm up taste of how
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: it is in a smaller city being able to call
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: that draft.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: But I can't wait for the city of Pittsburgh. It's
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: gonna it's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be special. It was walking along there Christmas.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Just imagine what the streets are going to be like
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: on the wed AKERA. Sure, I'll see you in Green
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Band in a couple of weeks potentially as well to
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: say hello, big few weeks. You know, if we go
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: back to the combine, just just for a second, because
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: you were there and I was there as well. You
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: guys are a pretty good location in media room there
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and you can see the players coming in, players coming out.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Was there anybody Macks even during the week that you
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: were there, and it's still out to you, even for
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: the team or any player that you fall to yourself,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: like God, I'd love to have them on our roster
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: going forward the season.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: No, there's about six defensive linemen. There's a four running back.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: I have a shopping list, Mike. I mean we could,
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: we should be here for a while. But I mean,
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: you know, looking at a Kenneth Grant, looking at him,
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: you know, a Mason Graham, which I think will be
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: a little bit tough for Walter Nolan. You know, I'm
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: thinking heavy defensive lineman is priority number one for Since
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: we don't have a second round pick, we can't really
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: play with who's number one, who's number two. It's we
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: got to hit this right in day one because we're
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: not gonna be picking again until the of day two
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: in the third round, so you want to make sure
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: that that guy's an immediate contributor to the team. I
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: think all signs point to it being defensive line, just
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: because of what the decisions have been made during the
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: off season as far as free agency, the acquisitions we've made.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: We've picked up a running back, We've picked up you know, linebackers,
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: we've picked up corners, and we've picked up all these
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: other positions. We went and got a blockbuster deal for
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: a wide receiver. So the one piece that's missing is
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: that start defensive lineman to sit behind and learn behind
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Cam Hayward and also give some more rotation in the
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: interior so it's not such a significant drop off when
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: he gets out of the game. So a dynamic D
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: line is what I expect first, and then I think
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: third round will be whoever falls to you, whether it's
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: a second D lineman, whether it's a running back, think
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Kim Scataboo, maybe Trevion Henderson or somebody in that third round,
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: or you know, if there's an if there's a quarterback
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: that we like to come in and fill out that
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: quarterback room, that could be another one. So I'm looking
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: at that kind of being the first two days, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: then day three is going to be you know, who's
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: the best who's the best guy once once it falls
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: to us, because there's always gonna be guys that fall
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: that we had great at hire that don't necessarily get picked,
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: they didn't get great to hire by the other teams,
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: and they fall in your lap like a Darnell Washington
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: a couple of years ago at the tight end position.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Nobody expects them to be in the nineties.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: So I think that's what you're kind of looking at
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: for those first two days.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: For especially for Irish funds, for international funds, list the MUCKs.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: What was it like getting drafted? But was it like
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: getting drafted in the third round on knowing that you're
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: going to Pittsburgh as well? What's that feeling?
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: One?
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, the best part is is that you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: I get the distinct honor and pleasure of saying I
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: was drafted.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I was a Day one draft pick.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: Because the young kids don't know that they're they don't
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: understand that back when I got drafted, like the first
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: three rounds were the first day and then the second
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: round was everybody else, uh expanded.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: To three days, So I mean, it was, it was.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: It was really special because I had no clue.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: You know, I didn't do interviews in a lot of
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: meetings with with Pittsburgh. I met with a bunch of
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: other teams. I did not because it was not even
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: on my radar. So it was really cool to kind
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: of see that and get that experience and be on
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: the phone with it. Funny then contract negotiator Omar Khan,
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: not general manager Omar Khan, that had me hold wait
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: for coach Kauer and then I talked to coach Kawer.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: So it was a really special moment back in two
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: thousand and four, and you know, I'm just happy for
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: these young men and getting that opportunity coming up in
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: a couple of weeks.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: You missed the London game by a season. I was
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: talking to Rod Woodson, who missed the ninety seven preseason
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: game in Crok Park there a few weeks ago, by
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I think six months. You must be interesting to see
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: this team playing at an Ashley game because as well
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Marks it's been so long, it hasn't They haven't played
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: at Ashley since twenty thirteen as well.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it was one of the things that was
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: probably one of my biggest like like NFL regrets, is
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: that I never got to play on Thanksgiving and I
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: never got to play internationally.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: They did both of those.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Things in the follow up season after after nine years
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: in Pittsburgh. It happened on the tenth year and I
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: was at Saint Louis ram at that time, and I was,
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: I was mad, I was I was a bit perturbed,
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: I think, is the best way of putting it. But
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: I'm so excited that my first international exposure with the
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: NFL is going to be with the Steelers, and of
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: course in Ireland.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's where it was worth the wait to
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: have this opportunity.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be in me as the mind. I don't
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: want to get emotional, so I'll move away spiffing from
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: the topic. You sort of talk there, and especially for
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: people listening nice side of the US. Yes, we haven't
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: had a game in a couple of months now, three
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: months now, but this season is just going to the
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: point now where there's something every over week. You mentioned
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: about the league meetings. We've seen coach Tomlin talk at
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: the league meetings there dined in Florida last week. What
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: sort of vibe that you get from the league it south,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: and you know, more so from coach Tomlin as we
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: get into that such an important few weeks.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: Now, well, I think I think you see the focus, right,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's not as happy, go lucky, it's
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: not as retrospective, right that everything is pointing forward, you know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: looking to next season. How do I build this roster
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: to go be competitive next year? And you know, I
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: think the intent of everybody there, everybody is now looking like, okay,
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: you know who the champion is, right, the new King
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: of the Hill is Philadelphia. So how do you prepare
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: and situate your team for that type of success and
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: to combat that champion? So, I mean, you know, a
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: lot of the rules that came out and got changed. Obviously,
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: the Tush push got tabled because there's just there's too
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: many variables and not enough time and at the owner's
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: meeting it's just a vote, so they cabled that one.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: I think you know, the Steelers, you know, wanting to
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: change some of the time out rulings and uh, and
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: some of the replay assist stuff that went through, which
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: was nice to hear and kind of mister Rooney kind
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: of talked about on Steelers dot Com. He went he
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: went through the process on the voting. We caught him
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: right after the voting was over with. And then for
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: coach Tomlin, you know, it's it's a focus on getting
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: back to it, you know, not looking backwards. Made progress,
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: but you got to retool once again. Right A brand
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: new quarterback room is going to come in there. Obviously
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: it was one of you know, one normal name, but uh,
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: but it's going to be a tough one.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: It's going to be interesting to see what happens. A
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: big movement obviously, and this off season's being dk Matcoff
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: coming in. Are you on the bond wagon if you'd
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: like to see a third wide receiver come in in
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: the draft or even in free agency or in free pickups,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: off to that or you very much? You know, let's
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: just wait and see what happened.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: I'm a wait and see guy, because I think you know,
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: we wanted to find that number one slash too right
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: to go opposite George Pickens.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: And then we still don't know what we have with
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Roman Wilson and Calvin.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Austin has been a welcome, pleasant addition, and I'm looking
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: forward to seeing his role expanded as well.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: So wide receivers not as.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Big of a priority because of the fact that I
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: consider we drafted a second round wide receiver, you know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: in DK Metcalf, so I would say I'd rather turn
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: those attentions towards the defensive line, bolstering the offensive line depth,
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: or you know, quality running back.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Those are really the three big things because you think.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: About the losses that we had in the off season,
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: we're two not only the quarterback room will obviously hear
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: what that is, but the offensive and defensive line. Like
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: reinforcing the trends. I think that's what Philadelphia really taught
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: a lot of teams is you need to pay attention
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: to your lines and the depth there so you have
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: quality guys that are able to play.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: We've seen Coreil Patterson stay on the books a two
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: year deal. Obviously going to be interesting to see what
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: hopps opposition. Are you hoppy that we've kept him in
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: the building, or would you like to see us make
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: different moves as well?
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: No, I'm happy we kept him because I think we
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: really didn't figure out what he was capable of, and
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: Arthur Smith obviously knows what he's capable of. I think
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: year two in this offense, you'll see an expanded role
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: for him. I think you were trying to appease too
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: many things with existing guys, and it was year one
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: for Arthur Smith. So I think this year you'll see
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: a different deployment. I think we'll see him line up
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: more wide receiver and shift into the backfield. He won't
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: just be a running back on special situations, so I
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: expect to expand it role for him, and I think
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: that also creates another opportunity where we don't need to
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: go to wide receiver.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: It's a big weekend or a big week for this
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: theaters in Green Band a couple of weeks time. It's
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: going to be special. It's a real one off, the
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: first ever time the drops is being in Green Bay
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: run Lumbolefield. How excited that you, Fred genleymun.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm excited to see it. I mean, you know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: it's it's one of those things. You know, you hear
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: the history. You know, you think of Vince Lombardi, you
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: think of Curly Lambeau and the history of the Green
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Bay Pack, especially early on in the NFL's history. So
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: you know, getting to go to that hallowed ground, so
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: to speak. You know, I've been there a number of
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: times calling games, but it's gonna be interesting to see
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: how they do it, how they manage it, because I
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: think it'll be a blueprint for Pittsburgh, who has a
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: similar smaller town feel to it, and how they manage
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: the flow of people, because you know, Green Bay.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you've been there, Michael, it was
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: one way in, one way out. You know, it's kind
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: of one of those type of places.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: There's not a lot of hotels there and it's a
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: very open, farmland type of area.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: It's gonna ben exciting for you days, Mike's We're you
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: looking forward to seeing what the Seers can do in
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Green Bay, looking forward to seeing you there as well.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Just finally, do you get any rest at all in
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: this offseason before we get back into it in August time?
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: No? Now, no rest for the weary man. Do you
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: know how it goes? Twenty four to seven on the go.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: As you see, I'm in an airport now about to
