0:03

0:06
Speaker 1: The Irish airline Aer Lingus has launched a brand new
0:09
Speaker 1: non-stop route between Dublin and Pittsburgh. So whether you're heading
0:13
Speaker 1: to Steel City for game day or crossing the Atlantic

0:22
Speaker 1: go Steelers!
0:34
Speaker 2: Welcome in to the Irish Steelers podcast presented by Aer Lingus.
0:37
Speaker 2: Michael McQuaid here from Steelers Studio, I guess we can
0:40
Speaker 2: call it now. It's good fun. We're having a bit
0:42
Speaker 2: of crack here. My friend Jason Hayes from Pro Football
0:44
Speaker 2: Ireland is here. And Jason, you know, generally speaking, you know,
0:47
Speaker 2: we're coming to the end of the NFL preseason already.
0:50
Speaker 2: It's a bit scary how fast it sort of went in,
0:53
Speaker 2: isn't it? It's hard to believe the Steelers are playing
0:55
Speaker 2: their last preseason game on Thursday night against the Bills.
0:58
Speaker 2: Friday morning, our time is mad.
0:59
Speaker 3: It's incredible. Yeah, it's hard to believe really. And I think...
1:03
Speaker 3: Probably been a busier off-season than many times past for
1:06
Speaker 3: the Steelers in terms of coaching changes and just complete
1:11
Speaker 3: new future going forward. So it's been one of the
1:14
Speaker 3: more intriguing ones to watch. Certainly, yes, it's time to
1:18
Speaker 3: go now. Yeah, not much time left.
1:20
Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that because we are going to
1:21
Speaker 2: have a bit of a refresher here. But obviously for
1:23
Speaker 2: Steelers fans watching this or listening to this, the game
1:25
Speaker 2: against the Bills, folks, free football. Thursday night, Friday morning, midnight.
1:29
Speaker 2: The game is free on Steelers.com for all Irish fans.
1:32
Speaker 2: Steelers fans and of course Irish NFL fans everybody welcome
1:35
Speaker 2: to join in if you get a chance to watch
1:36
Speaker 2: football for free check it out it's going to be
1:38
Speaker 2: our last chance to check out the Steelers before they
1:40
Speaker 2: have their opener in a couple of weeks time ahead
1:43
Speaker 2: of the season a quick refresher a bit of crack
1:46
Speaker 2: as well obviously Jason for you you're obviously an NFL
1:49
Speaker 2: fan first and foremost we'll talk about France in a
1:52
Speaker 2: minute but I think I've asked everybody this how cool
1:56
Speaker 2: and you're sitting obviously you've got a terrible an Irish
1:58
Speaker 2: terrible tile behind you here that Dublin game How cool
2:00
Speaker 2: was that week in Dublin for you? And seeing, I
2:03
Speaker 2: know you were in the crowd in Dublin whenever Mr
2:07
Speaker 2: Rooney was talking with Mr Goodell. Did it hit home
2:09
Speaker 2: for you then? Or was it whenever the Steelers ran
2:11
Speaker 2: out in Croke Park? Or when did it hit home
2:13
Speaker 2: for you when it happened?
2:14
Speaker 3: There were so many moments. I think during the Irish
2:16
Speaker 3: National Anthem, as the game was about to get going,
2:18
Speaker 3: is when, like, well, this is actually happening. But I've
2:23
Speaker 3: covered quite a few international games at this point. by
2:27
Speaker 3: fair the most I've ever seen a franchise connect with
2:30
Speaker 3: the country that it was playing in there's obvious reasons
2:33
Speaker 3: for that but you could see it was more meaningful
2:37
Speaker 3: for the players they knew how much it meant to
2:39
Speaker 3: the owners of the organisation and you could feel that
2:42
Speaker 3: as a fan interacting with people from Pittsburgh who were
2:46
Speaker 3: flying over to Ireland for the first time it just
2:49
Speaker 3: seemed to mean more to everyone compared to maybe what
2:52
Speaker 3: we might normally be used to seeing in some other
2:54
Speaker 3: games so I think the way the fans represented themselves
2:59
Speaker 3: and represented the organisation was a pleasure from an Irish perspective.
3:03
Speaker 3: And moving towards Paris, I can only say, you know,
3:07
Speaker 3: if you're living in Paris right now and you're a
3:09
Speaker 3: Steelers fan looking forward to it, then it's incredible.
3:13
Speaker 2: The match-up, yeah, in Paris, obviously seeing it against the Steelers,
3:17
Speaker 2: you've made a really good point there, the people living
3:19
Speaker 2: in Paris. But I think for us, if you're a
3:21
Speaker 2: Steelers fan, if you're in Ireland, if you're in the UK,
3:23
Speaker 2: if you're in Europe, it's a game close to where
3:25
Speaker 2: you are. I mean, I know it's a weekend which
3:27
Speaker 2: is going to be fun in Paris. On a weekend,
3:29
Speaker 2: any player I've spoke to is just excited for it.
3:31
Speaker 2: First game in the Stade de France, Cedars making a
3:33
Speaker 2: bit more history as well in an iconic stadium.
3:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think the first time in any of
3:38
Speaker 3: these cities is a special occasion. And whether it's the
3:41
Speaker 3: local fans, you know, having the once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience
3:45
Speaker 3: of experiencing it for the first time, or if you're
3:48
Speaker 3: someone who's visiting the city and still getting to experience
3:52
Speaker 3: the build-up, it just... um it's a special occasion and
3:55
Speaker 3: yeah i'd absolutely encourage just a short hop on a
3:58
Speaker 3: hop on down to um to paris there to see
4:01
Speaker 3: the game.
4:02
Speaker 2: I'm sure i'm sure a lot of people already have
4:04
Speaker 2: got the french terrible tiles and a lot of people
4:06
Speaker 2: walking around them at the draft did you like i
4:09
Speaker 2: know you weren't in pittsburgh for the draft but how
4:10
Speaker 2: did it look to you somebody like we were talking
4:12
Speaker 2: there earlier on even off camera about whenever drew was
4:15
Speaker 2: drafted and inferred around that crowd were just electric That's
4:20
Speaker 2: what it is. It's a sport. It's a lot like
4:22
Speaker 2: Ireland in a sense for people's passion for sport.
4:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really seems like it. That's the impression I
4:27
Speaker 3: got from meeting some of these fans when they came
4:29
Speaker 3: to Dublin last year. And certainly that was reflected on
4:32
Speaker 3: the coverage, whether it was the draft or... Obviously, Mike
4:37
Speaker 3: McCarthy coming home to his roots as well in terms
4:39
Speaker 3: of the Steel City.
4:41
Speaker 4: Clearly, it's.
4:44
Speaker 3: A region and a fan base with a lot of
4:46
Speaker 3: history and a lot of deep-rooted passion as a result
4:49
Speaker 3: of that. And I think a lot in common with
4:51
Speaker 3: an Irish person, to be honest.
4:53
Speaker 2: Very in common. A lot in common, for sure. You've
4:55
Speaker 2: made a really good point there. We're going to try
4:56
Speaker 2: and do a bit of a refresher. I'm sure a
4:58
Speaker 2: lot of people know Irish NFL fans, Theaters fans coming
5:01
Speaker 2: in and maybe they've been away from the game for
5:03
Speaker 2: a few months and obviously we're coming into the season now.
5:06
Speaker 2: Do a bit of a refresher, and you've mentioned one
5:08
Speaker 2: guy's name there, Mike McCarthy. Coach McCarthy now replacing Mike Tomlin,
5:12
Speaker 2: who has come in. It's really interesting, Jason, because Coach
5:16
Speaker 2: McCarthy has coached the Green Bay Packers, won the Super Bowl,
5:20
Speaker 2: of course, the Dallas Cowboys, and now the Pittsburgh Steelers.
5:23
Speaker 2: If you look at the history of the NFL, to
5:25
Speaker 2: coach those three teams is phenomenal. And you mentioned it
5:31
Speaker 2: as well, he's from the area, and you can see
5:33
Speaker 2: how much it meant to him in the first preseason game.
5:35
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be really, really cool to
5:36
Speaker 2: see what he can do with his team. What's your
5:38
Speaker 2: thoughts on him overall? Do you like the fit?
5:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really do like the fit, firstly, for the
5:43
Speaker 3: reasons we outlined. I think if it means more to
5:45
Speaker 3: him as a coach, and he's gotten quite emotional at
5:48
Speaker 3: times when even speaking about the connection he has with
5:50
Speaker 3: the organisation and with Pittsburgh, I think that, first off,
5:54
Speaker 3: makes it a special move. But beyond that, in terms
5:57
Speaker 3: of his track record... He obviously won that Super Bowl
6:01
Speaker 3: in Green Bay, but always had that team competing. And
6:05
Speaker 3: very much the same in Dallas. Never quite got as
6:07
Speaker 3: far and never got to the Super Bowl, certainly. But
6:11
Speaker 3: always competitive. I love him as a quarterback whisperer. The
6:17
Speaker 3: play he got out of Dak and the play he
6:19
Speaker 3: used to get out of Rodgers. And now he has
6:20
Speaker 3: to do it.
6:21
Speaker 2: All over again. But that's a mad thing. It's something
6:24
Speaker 2: that people have talked about all summer long. Rodgers comes back,
6:26
Speaker 2: final season. I'm saying that because he literally basically implied
6:29
Speaker 2: it in a press conference that you can watch at
6:31
Speaker 2: suitors.com of course that you made a really good point there.
6:34
Speaker 2: He's worked with him before and I think he was
6:36
Speaker 2: probably an Antigua factor of him actually coming back. It's
6:39
Speaker 2: exciting to see that relationship in the last hurrah of Rodgers'
6:42
Speaker 2: career and McCarthy gets the chance to repeat it somewhere else.
6:46
Speaker 3: Oh it is, yeah and it's It's almost like... I mean,
6:49
Speaker 3: the beginning of my NFL fandom is when those two
6:51
Speaker 3: guys were united in Green Bay. So now all these
6:54
Speaker 3: 20 years later or whatever it is, for them to
6:56
Speaker 3: be coming back together and still doing it at a
6:59
Speaker 3: high level, each of them. I'd love to be a
7:01
Speaker 3: fly on the wall in the meeting room when they're
7:04
Speaker 3: breaking down an opponent or looking through film because... I'd
7:08
Speaker 3: say they'll have a few moments throughout the season where
7:11
Speaker 3: they almost get nostalgic of times gone by. But I
7:16
Speaker 3: love McCarthy. I love the fact that he's taking ownership
7:21
Speaker 3: of play calling again this year for the Steelers. I
7:23
Speaker 3: think he'll obviously know Rodgers inside out and they're making
7:27
Speaker 3: a few changes to make sure they're getting the most
7:29
Speaker 3: out of that offence as a whole. I think going
7:30
Speaker 3: under centre, firstly, is an interesting move that McCarthy is
7:34
Speaker 3: looking to make more on the offensive side. I think
7:38
Speaker 3: that can only suit Rodgers. It's not being naive to
7:41
Speaker 3: the fact that he is the age that he is
7:43
Speaker 3: and he's been around for so long.
7:45
Speaker 2: One would argue Tom Brady won the Super Bowl around
7:47
Speaker 2: that age with the Tom Brady Buccaneers a few years ago.
7:49
Speaker 3: I mean, sports science these days, it's... There's a lot
7:52
Speaker 3: of evidence there to make sure that he'll still be
7:55
Speaker 3: playing at a high level. And Rodgers is maybe the
7:59
Speaker 3: brightest brain in football in terms of he got the
8:02
Speaker 3: ball out fastest of anyone in the league last year.
8:04
Speaker 3: He knows his limitations now and he's able to adapt
8:07
Speaker 3: and play with them.
8:08
Speaker 2: Comfortable to adapt, I think. He's very comfortable.
8:10
Speaker 3: And I think playing under centre, maybe trying to play
8:13
Speaker 3: a bit more hard-nosed football in terms of running the
8:15
Speaker 3: football and doing what we always knew to seal us
8:17
Speaker 3: for over the years. is something to look forward to,
8:20
Speaker 3: and that can only take the pressure off Aaron Rodgers,
8:22
Speaker 3: who I'm sure is going to thrive off a play-action situation,
8:24
Speaker 3: which might buy him that extra second or two that
8:28
Speaker 3: he will make defences pay for.
8:29
Speaker 2: I think it's so cool to see Rodgers and Paris.
8:32
Speaker 2: I don't think he fought two years ago, he'd be
8:34
Speaker 2: able to play in Dublin, now Paris as well, so
8:35
Speaker 2: it's really, really cool. We're going to talk very quickly
8:37
Speaker 2: about this final pre-season game in a wee second. Before
8:40
Speaker 2: we do that, let's hear from Coach McCarthy, who was
8:42
Speaker 2: talking to Steelers media earlier this week, ahead of Thursday night.
8:47
Speaker 4: Mike, any update on Max and or your two guys
8:51
Speaker 4: on Pup Corner? We're hoping that Max will schedule to
8:54
Speaker 4: practice today, and so is Jalen. We're going to bring
8:57
Speaker 4: him off of Pup today. Yeah, how about the two corners?
9:01
Speaker 2: Jalen.
9:02
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sorry.
9:04
Speaker 3: Anything jump out off the tape that you didn't suspect?
9:07
Speaker 4: That I didn't suspect? You know, I think, like anything,
9:12
Speaker 4: I thought the defense played better than– probably felt walking
9:16
Speaker 4: off the field. You know, I think that's out of the,
9:18
Speaker 4: you know, the slow start. That was something as a
9:21
Speaker 4: team that we need to, we need to be on
9:23
Speaker 4: top of. You know, I'm a big believer in ROI.
9:27
Speaker 4: You know, everybody practices a little differently and you emphasize
9:30
Speaker 4: things more, you know, from one, you know, phase to
9:33
Speaker 4: the next. And, you know, we spend, we spent some
9:36
Speaker 4: time as far as the start of the game, you know,
9:39
Speaker 4: first 15 plays on offense, things like that. So we,
9:42
Speaker 4: We need to start faster. So that was one of
9:45
Speaker 4: the things I'd like to see us come out of
9:47
Speaker 4: this week. But yeah, I thought that our young guys
9:52
Speaker 4: are getting better. It's preseason football. You know, we've made
9:54
Speaker 4: some mistakes. You know, we had the mistakes on the
9:57
Speaker 4: two interceptions. You like to see those things happen. You
10:00
Speaker 4: don't like to see them happen, but it's better they
10:01
Speaker 4: happen in the preseason so you can definitely learn from it. But,
10:05
Speaker 4: you know, our young guys are getting another chance. You know,
10:09
Speaker 4: Thursday night in Buffalo, the main thing for today is,
10:12
Speaker 4: you know, we're kind of still in the install cleanup
10:16
Speaker 4: phase with the older guys. So we're going to really
10:19
Speaker 4: hit that hard. Today and tomorrow, these are our last
10:22
Speaker 4: two training camp practices. We're on a 10-hour schedule with
10:25
Speaker 4: the vets, so we're going to max that out with
10:28
Speaker 4: both of practice, and then we'll do the mock game
10:30
Speaker 4: like we did up in Latrobe. We'll do the mock
10:32
Speaker 4: game here both today and tomorrow. I really want to
10:35
Speaker 4: have two really productive padded practices, and that's the kind
10:40
Speaker 4: of wrap-up training camp, wrap-up the things we really want
10:44
Speaker 4: to focus on, make sure our guys are ready to
10:46
Speaker 4: go in Buffalo, and then Then we've got the long weekend.
10:50
Speaker 4: We've got to pick the team, but we want to
10:52
Speaker 4: springboard into Atlanta preparation.
10:54
Speaker 2: Mike, given the report that came out after the game,
10:56
Speaker 2: you guys have already decided to keep both young quarterbacks.
10:59
Speaker 2: Is that accurate, or is there what more we need
11:02
Speaker 2: to see before we make that?
11:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't been part of any conversations where the
11:07
Speaker 4: 53 has been selected already. So anything, any position, any realm,
11:12
Speaker 4: we definitely have ideas. I think it's evident we're trying
11:15
Speaker 4: to play play the players in many different combinations. You
11:20
Speaker 4: see the personnel groups we're trying to use and so forth.
11:24
Speaker 4: The goal, especially in the younger half of the roster,
11:28
Speaker 4: is to give all these guys a chance to play, perform,
11:32
Speaker 4: to show what they have so we can get a
11:35
Speaker 4: clean evaluation on it. Not everybody makes the team today,
11:39
Speaker 4: but they can make it tomorrow. You have to be
11:43
Speaker 4: into it then. You have a 90-man roster for a reason.
11:45
Speaker 4: You roll players in and out of the bottom half,
11:48
Speaker 4: you know, about bottom part of your roster for a reason,
11:50
Speaker 4: but it's all about being exposed to, you know, because,
11:55
Speaker 4: you know, some players play better in certain places than others.
11:58
Speaker 4: And that's, that's just the way this league is always work.
12:01
Speaker 4: But I, you can't give me enough players because it's
12:05
Speaker 4: going to take, you know, it's going to take probably
12:07
Speaker 4: more than the 68 players in one championship. I've been
12:10
Speaker 4: part of one championship and, You'll hear me say this
12:13
Speaker 4: all the time because I believe it. I think it's
12:14
Speaker 4: a principle of how you develop and build a roster.
12:17
Speaker 4: It took 77 players in my one experience that we
12:22
Speaker 4: were able to get that done. That's a mindset that
12:26
Speaker 4: I hold true to. It affects the way I train
12:28
Speaker 4: the team. It affects how we look at these young
12:31
Speaker 4: players playing at the end. I've never been comfortable for
12:34
Speaker 4: a player to be part of your training camp process
12:36
Speaker 4: and then he doesn't play in a preseason game. If
12:39
Speaker 4: that happens, that's an error on my part. my process
12:43
Speaker 4: of getting guys in the game. So that's a long answer,
12:45
Speaker 4: but you know, I think it's important to really, you know,
12:49
Speaker 4: hit your targets every day. You know, this shift coming
12:51
Speaker 4: back here from Latrobe, you know, we lost that practice
12:54
Speaker 4: up there. That was an important practice. These two are
12:57
Speaker 4: very important practices. So hopefully the weather cooperates, but you know,
13:02
Speaker 4: you only have so much time, you know, and there's
13:04
Speaker 4: a reason why we, we max out these practices. The
13:06
Speaker 4: reason why we stand here until the horn blows to
13:09
Speaker 4: get on field. I mean, it's, It's a process that
13:13
Speaker 4: I've done a long time, but you can't have enough
13:16
Speaker 4: information about your players. So that'll be our goal this week,
13:22
Speaker 4: and hopefully we pick the right 68.
13:27
Speaker 2: That's Coach McCarthy ahead of the Steelers' final preseason game,
13:29
Speaker 2: joined with Jason Hester. Jason, it's hard to build up
13:34
Speaker 2: on a week 5, week 10, week 17 basis for
13:37
Speaker 2: a final preseason game. But I guess the biggest thing,
13:41
Speaker 2: when you see guys like Drew Aller, you know that
13:44
Speaker 2: Will Howard, different backup defensive guys, kickers, etc. It's going
13:49
Speaker 2: to be hard to build it up. But it is
13:52
Speaker 2: a key game for health, continuity, and some guys are
13:56
Speaker 2: going to be playing for their jobs as well. So
13:59
Speaker 2: it's so important because guys are trying to make that
14:00
Speaker 2: final roster. You can never write off the importance of
14:03
Speaker 2: a final pre-season game, can you?
14:05
Speaker 3: Absolutely. There's so many individuals out there that will be
14:07
Speaker 3: playing like their lives depend on it, frankly. Guys like
14:13
Speaker 3: your Alar or your Howard who showed so much promising
14:16
Speaker 3: signs in week one, they'll be looking to recapture that
14:19
Speaker 3: in week three because they certainly won't be happy on
14:21
Speaker 3: a personal level with how they performed in the second
14:24
Speaker 3: pre-season game. But across the board, it's, as I say,
14:29
Speaker 3: pre-season competition. maybe at this stage of the year, we're
14:32
Speaker 3: all excited for that week one kickoff right now, but
14:35
Speaker 3: certainly there's a lot to be interested in in this
14:37
Speaker 3: final pre-season game at a player level. At the 53-man roster,
14:42
Speaker 3: that's a lot of slots, but those last handful of
14:45
Speaker 3: slots will still be undecided in the coaches' minds right now.
14:48
Speaker 3: And so there's essentially a battle between those 30, 40
14:51
Speaker 3: players for that chance to play in black and gold
14:56
Speaker 3: moving forward.
14:56
Speaker 2: And that's the thing that's changed. Usually they used to
14:58
Speaker 2: cut them before each game and each moment so it
15:02
Speaker 2: was difficult but now it is it's at the very
15:03
Speaker 2: very end just as we finish off our little refresher
15:06
Speaker 2: for fans that might be coming in again you know
15:08
Speaker 2: what's I guess if I asked you what's the one
15:11
Speaker 2: thing that excites you this year because for me it's
15:13
Speaker 2: Cam Hebert's back obviously TJ's back as well there's all
15:16
Speaker 2: this continuity of these leaders are still there Rodgers is
15:20
Speaker 2: back in.
15:21
Speaker 3: And a couple of clever contract extensions.
15:23
Speaker 2: Keanu Benton Nick Herbig they're making serious moves here it's
15:27
Speaker 2: just a matter of signing that right balance but like
15:30
Speaker 2: the Antigua part is still there you look at so
15:32
Speaker 2: many teams across the league that have made change even
15:34
Speaker 2: in the AFC North you know the Ravens have made
15:36
Speaker 2: a new head coaching change as well the staters feel
15:38
Speaker 2: like they're in a good place and it's just styles
15:41
Speaker 2: off each week and trying to make those realistic choices
15:44
Speaker 2: I guess whenever it comes to.
15:45
Speaker 3: It yeah certainly and I think a guy personally I'm
15:48
Speaker 3: very excited to look at is Patrick Graham new defensive
15:52
Speaker 3: coordinator and see what he can do with that unit
15:53
Speaker 3: because it is as you say the continuity of keeping
15:56
Speaker 3: your star players and Locking in a couple of those
15:58
Speaker 3: younger stars long term is fantastic, but really I want
16:02
Speaker 3: to see what this fresh take on the defence is
16:04
Speaker 3: going to do. Tomlin obviously had his hands in it
16:07
Speaker 3: for so long, so it will be an adjustment for
16:10
Speaker 3: some of these guys who only ever know playing under Tomlin.
16:13
Speaker 3: I think from Patrick Graham's perspective, when we look at
16:16
Speaker 3: what he's done in his career, he always tends to
16:18
Speaker 3: get the most out of the players that he has.
16:21
Speaker 3: He's great at adapting his scheme to ensure that each
16:24
Speaker 3: player is elevated to as high a standard as possible.
16:27
Speaker 3: He won't try and put square pegs in round holes.
16:30
Speaker 3: He's going to ensure that every player is comfortable in
16:32
Speaker 3: the role that's being asked of them, whether that's Queen
16:35
Speaker 3: in the middle, whether that's the backfield or right up
16:38
Speaker 3: front with the veterans there. I'm really excited to see
16:42
Speaker 3: how it all shakes out with Patrick Graham and just
16:44
Speaker 3: his fresh take on an established unit.
16:47
Speaker 2: It's going to be fun to see. I love what
16:48
Speaker 2: you're saying about the DC there. Steelers play the Bills'
16:51
