• 1:58
  Speaker 2: T shirt and I ran into some folks. I ran
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: into this this group where there I think it was
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: their granddad had played like ten games in a season
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: for the Steelers back in the late forties or fifties,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I think it was. But it was cool. There's a
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: lot of Steelers people there, and and you know, there
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: was a there was a soccer game on then, because
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: there's obviously no football. That is their football, that is
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: their football. But it was It was really kind of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a cool experience to know that lots of people go there,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: lots of people hang out, and it was it was neat.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It was kind of neat. Giovanni is the guy that
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: owns it, and fun to chat with him for a
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: little bit and you know, kind of hear his story
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and I don't know, have you ever been there.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I've been to Rome. I've never been to the Steelers
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Bar in Rome, but yeah, I've definitely I've walked the
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Spanish stairs, you know what, Tivoli fountain or.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: A Trevy Trevy, Travy Trevy fountain, Trevy Fountain. I went
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to the spot where you know where Julius Caesar was supposedly,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you know, mutiny assassin and assassinated by by Brutus at
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: two brute yep, and went to a bunch of like
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the what the what's the what's the theater there in
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the middle of it, it's like the big Oh yeah,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the Circus Maximus. Yeah, Circus Maximus done the coliseum, done
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. So yeah, no, we we And you
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: know how I did it with Willy Cologne, did you?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Willie, Willie and and our wives, we all we
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: all did a did.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: A trip to Rome, and then we did a Mediterranean cruise. Nice.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so no, Yeah, we spent a lot of
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: time in Rome and we walked to say and my
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: wife was mad by the end of it. Oh, because
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of walking. It was like thirty eight
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: thousand steps. Yeah, it was. It was insane.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: The same because because you you're gonna history is literally
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: every ten feet every.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, ancient footprints are everywhere.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Built on top on top on top on top of
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: each other, so you have catacombs and trub layers.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just yeah, everywhere. And I'm a huge
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: history nerd, as we both know. We both share that affinity.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: So it's like I'm sitting there giving like the tour
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: and my wife like, just shut up and take pictures.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I tell you, And and we will get back
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to France because I'm sure there's gotta be some Steelers
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: bars in Paris, absolutely, and we're gonna have to check
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: those out. We will find it, we'll do research. The
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: coliseum was one of the most It was one of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the one of those moments where you're you're looking around
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: to make sure you're you're still standing there, Am I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: really here? I'm really in the colisseum am I really
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: standing here and taking in this beautiful stadium. I don't
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: think it's big, and I don't think it'd be big
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: enough to have a football field. It was big, I
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: don't think it would be that. I'm gonna say, maybe
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: eighty yards long something like. I don't know. Maybe maybe
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: it was bigger. But it was an overwhelmingly emotional experience.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And the shape of it is just not conducive to
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the rectangle, right, because it's a big oval. So but
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: you think, I think the space is there, it's just
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't have sidelines, right. You could probably get the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: field in there, and that'd be just about it. Yeah,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and you wouldn't have much outside of the end zones. Well,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: it was a pretty a barbaric place, really, you know.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I mean if you know, like probably as kids you
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: would you would ask a question, and maybe even adults,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you know, hey, who'd win between a Bengal tiger and
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a lion? Who'd win a fight? Well? The Romans You're like, well,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: let's find out. I mean, it's like, hey, we could
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: go get really man, you know, the Roman Empire extends
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that far right, right, Yeah, I mean you know. Anyway,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: so we're looking forward to to Paris. It's it's going
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: to be groundbreaking. So it was groundbreaking at Croke Park.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: They put on a just an incredible event. I mean,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: if you're on the fence about going, and if it's
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: anything at all like yes, if it's anything at all
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: like like Dublin. It was an incredible experience.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: And even though we're going to be the away team,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's going to take away from because
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I think, well, honestly, we'll probably overpower the Saints fans.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think there will. My guess would be,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: you know, as the host team, you're the one that's
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: putting on all the rallies and doing all all that stuff.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I would guess it's going to be more like you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: when the students go to Vegas, Man, there are a
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: ton of Steelers fans, right, yes, I mean either it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: like a takeover out there and then there's Steelers bars
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and there there's that kind of thing. I guess it
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: would be more like that than if the Steelers were
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the the host, which just means you know, get there
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: several days early and like you were, you were going
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: a week early.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: And you were going entire tour.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: The you toured the entire country. I'm guessing that if
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: if the Steelers are the home team, you'd probably be
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: doing something like that. Again, I think as us as
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a weight team, I'm still probably going to be doing
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. I just don't think it'll be to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the same degree. I'm sorry I missed that pronoun, But
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: what was that. Did you say, I'm going to go
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: do some of those things? Yea, we we it's French.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: We we. It's French, we we, It's French. You know what, Maxell? Well,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I mean we were a well. I just I'd hate
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: to have you carry the burden of a week in
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: in France alone, you know, I would just hate that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Thank you for your sacrifice in advance. I I just
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: if you're talking to the powers that be you didn't
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: want to go on a van with me for a
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: week around the country, I would have been I would
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: have probably had the show had to carry the show,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: probably would have been some golf clubs in there for
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: me somewhere going around the country. But anyway, it's gonna
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: be it's gonna be another cool, it's gonna be awesome.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be awesome.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I mean the Eiffel Just think about the backdrop of
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: the Eiffel Tower, right, I mean you have that, you
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: have no tre Dame, which is finally you know, back
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: in order they did end this job there and just
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: all of the history sham Sally's Arcta Triomph, like the Louver,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: like all of these gigantic the obelisks you know that
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: they brought, you know, I mean, it's gonna be just
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: an amazing and like I said, us as history nerds,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: and I think we can say that affections absolutely. It's
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: it's an overwhelming Since I've been to Paris, I've been
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: to Paris three times?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: How many times you've been to twice? Twice? My honeymoon
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and then I went with my mother. Okay, there we
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: go my mom over there. Yeah. Nice.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: So it's just there's never enough time, no matter how
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: many times you go, Like I know, there's still things
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: that I missed.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: And you try and hit every museum and every every garden,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: every park. There's something there.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: There's a building that's been around for three hundred years
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: that you didn't know about, you know.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And then if you take the train out you can
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: go out and see what what's the what's the something versa.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: You can go see the palace at Versa. I did

• 8:37
  Speaker 2: thing the thing over there too and uh, just for
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: if there are any fellow history lovers too. So when
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I was there with my mom, I didn't know it
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: at the time, but my mom was very close to
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: having a heart attack, like she she had blockages and
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: she's a very robust woman, you know, like a lot
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: of energy level, and she was just like, I gotta
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I gotta sit down. I'm like, okay. So so she
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: was sitting down and we were in this so I

• 9:04
  Speaker 2: have the shopping and all that other stuff, and I'm like,

  Speaker 2: millions of dollars and it's just on the wall. And it's,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: by the way, like the fourteenth most important and impressive
• 10:16

• 10:49
  Speaker 2: outdoor a cafe and there's plenty of beverage and just
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: hang out, you know, and just people watch. I remember
• 10:54

• 10:57
  Speaker 2: my wife when we're on our honeymoon, and we ate
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: it this little outdoor cafe because I wanted to eat
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: a little outdoor cafe. And so we did that and
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: we got there and you know, we're like, okay, let's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: get the food here. It's good. And when we sat there,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: there were these two guys, older guys, and they had
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: like pints of beer in front of them, and there
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: was like a little gone from each one and they
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: were gabbing, and I don't even think there were more food.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: We got there, we ordered our lunch, we did our thing,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: we got up to leave and they'd maybe drunk like
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: another not even a quarter of their beer and they
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: were still talking. Why because they were just taking their time.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: So just go over there and take your time. But
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: of course that's due as I say, not as I do.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna take your time. We're not gonna do.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I want to see it all.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I need to see it all, every single visit. And
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I don't care how many times I've been to Van Go.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I want to go see van Go again, right, I
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: don't care how many times I've been to the Louver
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: and I've been to the Egyptian section. I'm going again,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: going to look at the same mummy I've seen three
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: times already for a fourth time, because maybe there's something
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: there that I don't But I will say that Angelina's
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: the best hot chocolate in the world, really, and it's
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: right there in Paris, is right by the La Maarice,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: which is like the only like six diamond hotel like
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: in all of Europe.

• 12:11
  Speaker 2: you want to walk past, Okay, I see have guards.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, but Angelina's Angelina's okay hot chocolate.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: It is magical. Well, when we get into this season
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: and we start taking phone calls and then we can
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: dispense what information we have all and could add to that.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: My biggest travel tip would be see what you can see,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: but do please take an hour or two and just
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: do nothing. Yeah, just sit to just sit still. Set
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: the American. Set the American because we're a go go
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: go country. Set and I didn't do this very well.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Set the American to the side, and just relax because
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: that's what they like doing over there. I mean, but
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: go up to Momar and sit there like there's a
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: big square with all the painters. Yeah, like, just go
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: sit there and get a painting done, like they'll they'll
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: do a caricature of you, like like at the boardwalk.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: But it's fun, phenomenal. And then there's all these little
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: restaurants around us. Has to have a table right outside.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Where you can just seep and just sit. It is
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: one of the most overrated things that we don't do. Yes, right,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, in that environment, it's breathtaking
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: because it is picturesque.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: There is history all around you. If you just sit still,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: you can see it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: You know, you can go to the Mulan roofs that's
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: a nighttime activity, right.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: You can go and tour the Louver, but sit outside
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: the gardens like there's all these parks, all of this
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: amazing infrastrut or just.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Go sit sit below the Eiffel Tower. Yep, grab you
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: a bag, yet, grab you a little sandwich. You know,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: you can get a panini, right and just sit there
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: with your glass bottle coke and chill. Yes, I do
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: like the pacing of meals over there. It's one of
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: the things that I've enjoyed in my you know, like
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: my wife and I got my Hunt pilot has one
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: hundred and forty eight thousand miles on it. Yeah, and
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not buying a new one as long as I
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: possible we can, because I'd rather take that money and
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: go travel. That's what That's what. That's what we do
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: with our money that we we love to travel. And
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: but you know, I think about like what what you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: what the places that I've been fortunate to go to,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Like what do I like about the cultures. I will
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: tell you this, nobody, nobody does coffee better than America.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I don't want a little rinky dink tiny cup of
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: espresso or coffee. I want a mug, please, you want
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: to coffee. I've been places and they bring out a
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: little tiny caraffe and I and I have to tell them,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: you know, and luckily, luckily they haven't gotten mad at me.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, I'm an American. I'm gonna need a
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: lot more coffee than that. Please. Uh so say one
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: place that will rival that. Okay, Cuban coffee. Well, but
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the little tiny one, no, no, that that you're you're
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: talking about, like the cortados and they dump the sugar in.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: There's just a little bit of creepy. But Cuban coffee.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking about quality.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about si it's on a mug of coffee
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: jet fuel and they give you and they give you.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say a full mug is probably two thirds
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: of the mug size, which is more than like an
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: espresso or whatever George Clooney pushes for coffee that looks
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: European and fancy, but still for the value, like you're
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: getting the same amount of that full mug, You're you're
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: getting about a mug and a half's worth of.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: A higher power. I don't mind getting the shakes after
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: a couple of coffee, all right, with that, it will
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: give you the ship. I'll get me going. Yeah. But
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: we're just we're just so. That's the one thing I
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: would say is that they their meals, whether it's to
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: the cafe or a restaurant, they're slower. Embrace it, enjoy it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: They're talking tables, they're not trying to turn the tables
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: because they get paid a living wage. Over there, they do.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I literally sat we had three bottles of wine. It
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: was four of us, three boles of wine.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: We sat there for six hours wow, zero rush Yeah,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Like I felt like the waitress left at one point,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: like and she spoke the whole pack of cigarettes outside,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like, and she did not
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: check on us once.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: She's like yeah, whatever whatever, you know, Yeah, And she
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: was like lase fair was truly a true phrasing over there.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: And a lot of the places aren't as expensive as
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you would think. They're not as expensive. Now Paris will
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: be expensive if you're going to Paris, A lot of
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the places aren't expen It does occur to me like
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: how are these people? How are the restaurant owners making
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: me a living? How is this? How are they paying
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: these waiters and waitresses? The food is fantastic, it's delicious
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: and it's not that expensive. How is this working? Zerolation
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: and works. Yeah, I guess that's probably true. That's the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: local the local butcher.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Once you own land, they don't pay taxes on land
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: after after you've bought it. Once it's yours for life.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Really yeah, so, I mean, so it's like a lot
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: of things that are uniquely inherent here in the US,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Like they don't pay property taxes, they don't pay health insurance,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: so you can pay living wages off of that.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: And then also interesting, whatever you're raising on your you're
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: making pure profit all off of hogs that you sell,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: you know, if you're selling cattle, if you're selling produce, right,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: you're buying directly from the a lot of these farms.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: So one of us knows a lot more about economics
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: than the other here in the Urban and Regional Planning
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: of Sociology degree at work. Baby. So anyway, we we
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: just got we just got Uh did we talk about football? No,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: we're got, Yes, we talked about football. We started with it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: We started with uh, playing about going to Europe, and
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: then my mentioning that I've been to the to the
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: to the bar, the Steelers Bar in Rome, which is
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: very very cool. And then we started talking about Paris,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: but then we got off because we're history guber nerds.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: We are, and we and we love travel.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Both of them are travel nerds too, so we love
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: seeing the entire world and we've both been a lot
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: of places.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: So we will dispense more information as we get closer
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: to France. But I would say, you know, go if
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you have the opportunity. If it's going to be anything
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: like Dublin. Yes, they speak a different language, be respectful
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: of that, and you'll find just try. You will find
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: that the people are a lot nicer than they're purported
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: to be. If you give it the old college try
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: bone sure goes a long way. Absolutely, now c goes
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: a long way. Yes, totally, that's exactly right. So I
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: to whords. I know.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: My wife took French, I took Spanish, so I'm like
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: out of my depth and I tried, and they just
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: appreciated the try that they will stop you and then
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: they will speak English because they all speak English, but
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: they would like you to try first.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, exactly. Don't assume so this Travel Advice brought
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: to you free by Max Starks and Rob King, the
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: the in the Locker Room Travel Duo. Yes, we're going
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: to talk more about football, but we're looking forward to that.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: So what we've been doing the first three days are
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: in the locker room and you know, we're in that
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: acclamation period, so there's not a ton going on in
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the on the field, but they are ramping up and
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: so we're sort of getting you caught up and getting
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: ourselves back caught up on what went on in the
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: off season. So we've talked talked about Mike Tomlin retiring,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy coming in, Aaron Rodgers coming back, the contract extensions,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the guys in the pup list. But that this event
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: in France, it's a big it's a big off season announcement.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: It's a big deal, man, it's going to be really
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: really cool.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: And back to back years, yes, because remember the last
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: time they went was what twenty and like fourteen or
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: something like that. It's been a while, twenty thirteen, maybe
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: it's been a minute. And to go back to back years,
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: and you're also opening new markets.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: It's not like we're going to.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Mexico City where we've gone where the NFL goes for
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: years on years. So we're going to Germany, where the
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: NFL has already kind of planted this flag. Like we're
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: taking the flag there and planting it for the NFL. Right,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: we planted it in Ireland, we planned it. Now we're
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: going to plan it in France.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: There's a different atmosphere in fanetic country because it hasn't
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: been done before, which is a really cool aspect of it. Well,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: the ambassador and the you know, the flag football that
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: he had, he that he started in the backyard of
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: the Ambassador's residence in beautiful Locks, Dublin. Yeah, I mean, hey,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: we got a great launch and this is it's so
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: like a football field. Let's put a field in there. Man,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: come on, come on, Dublin, Come on, Ireland, let's get
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: let's get up to speed. By the way, I think
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: you might, I know, but I don't have any insight.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: But my guess is that you're gonna be able to
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: put that Spanish to good use at some point on
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: a on a Steeler trip. Oh, I think so that'd
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: be a guess on my part. I mean, you know,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I think there aren't they working on a stadium down there.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: They finished it because they finished because it was for
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: a World Cup. So the stadium's done now. But the
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Cardinals are going down to play this year. Okay.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: And because we went to France, I think we would
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: have been in Mexico City had we not gotten the
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: France card So I think next year would be our
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Mexico City trip.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: We don't know that, but we're just guessing. So you
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: have an extra home game. Just saying the quarterback position
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: is going to be a huge topic of conversation. You're
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: gonna hear from Will Howard. We're gonna tell you what
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy said about the quarterback position as well as
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: we dive a little less travel and a little more
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: football when we continue here in the locker room on

• 21:54
  Speaker 2: audio network from Saint Vincent College in the Trove. Another
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: beautiful day. Football practice has come and gone already, the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: team practicing without helmets today and so they will start
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: to get the pads on to do some hitting. A
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: momentous date tomorrow, I think that is tomorrow when that starts.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: And then tomorrow also the Students Hall of Honor will
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: this year's class will be introduced. So that's gonna be exciting.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Lots of fun stuff happening up here tomorrow, but a
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff happening in this offseason. Kind of getting
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: you caught up is we're gonna, you know, then be
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: in locked lockstep with what's going on on the field
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: and during the practices. But there's just so much happening,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: and of course everybody knows, you know, Mike McCarthy comes
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: in and he's got that reputation of developing young quarterbacks.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: He had one that he inherited and Will Howard he
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: has another one, and Drew Aller who the pirates are
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: the this Tod's selected with a draft choice this year.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: So you got two young quarterbacks trying to develop them.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: You know, can you do both? That's been a big question.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: How do you play these guys? You know, Will Howard
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: hasn't played in a while since the National Championship game.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy was asked about that this morning. What can
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: you do? You move on and you go. So the
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks and is there an air apparent to Aaron Rodgers
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: is going to be a massive story in the preseason.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: It's probably going to peak during the preseason because if
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: all things go well, you're not going to see a
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: whole lot of either one of these guys during the
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: regular season. So but let's hear from one of those
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: guys now, and that is Will Howard talking about his
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: experience thus far.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: I's going to portfolio pretty good, you know.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Day two.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: We're just you know, taking it day by day, trying
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: to get better every day and maximize all the reps
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: that I get.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: What's the competition been.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Like between you guys and the like. Mcarthy's really stressed. Stop.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: You've got to make sure you get the started ready.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: To get it again.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Aaron ready, how much between the rest of you guys,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: what's the competition been like and how you guys are
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: making each other.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Day to it.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think it's any different than any
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: other year. You know, you're always competing, and especially in
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: this league. You know, you're always competing to to keep
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: a job and to to get on the field, and uh,
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: you know, every opportunity you get you got to maximize
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: and uh, you know, I think at the end of
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: the day, it's you know, we have a great room,
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: and we we enjoy spending time together and and uh,
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: you know, it's not a toxic competition or anything.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: You know, it's it's it's.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: All out of love and we're all trying to make
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh Steelers better and make each other better. And
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: I think at the end of the day, that's that's
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: what competition brings out of you, is is it brings.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Out the best keep letting up from you.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, he's I mean, we'll talk about one of
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: the best two minute quarterbacks, uh, to ever play the game.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: You know, just watching the way he operates and uh
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: and uh, you know the things he does at the
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: line of scrimmage and and also you know the the
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: things he.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Does in the huddle.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: You know, I can I can always take some take
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: some notes from that and always trying to learn from
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: that guy.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And how do you assess.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously didn't finish well before thing?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, who you feel that play? Uh?
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: The guy picked it off over the middle of the field.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Well as a quarterback, I mean when we heard Mike
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: talk today about his six pillars of Steelers football, how
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: much does that have to resonate with you? And how
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: much do you have to unpape guys and up when
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: you're running too?
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, being a you know, in
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: the in the quarterback position, you're kind of thrust into
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: that leadership role.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: You have to be a leader.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: And you know, obviously trying to follow suit with Aaron
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: and and keep everything the same that the coach McCarthy's saying.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: You know, I really love what he's brought and and
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: love the culture that he's trying to instill in us.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: He's really trying to take you know, the blue collar
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: the grit of the city of Pittsburgh and kind of
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: instilling that into this team and and you know, the
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: six pillars all reflect that, and I think just every
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: day trying to embody that as a as a person
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: and as a team, and trying to you know, bring
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: guys along, you know, I think is really important being
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: a surprised MS from Yeah, no, absolutely, I mean just
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: sitting in meetings with him, and you know, with Tom
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: and and Ange and Aaron obviously now you can pick
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: up something at least every single day, and you know,
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: I'm just trying to, you know, pick one little thing
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: up every day, get better every single day, and and
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: learn as much as I can, because that's this is
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: a big you know, I know I haven't I haven't
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: played yet in the NFL, and I still have a
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: lot to learn, you know, I was obviously I have
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: you know, one year under my belt, but you know,
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: I'm just trying to pick up every little thing that
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: I can.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: You know what with this offense, how do you feel
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: that it hits your skill set?
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: I think it fits it really well. Honestly, it it
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: kind of reminds me, you know, of of the system
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: I ran at Ohio State.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: It really does.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: And you know, just the attention to detail and the
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: footwork and the reads progressions, the different kinds of progressions
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: and and plays. You know, like when I got to
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: Ohio State, like coach Day harped on every little thing,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: and then you know, getting here last year was you
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: know a little different, but you know it was still
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: very detail oriented. But but Mike is you know, even
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: more like he is to to the you know, the
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: step and to the you know, he has names for
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: every step in the drop like it's super detailed. I
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: just think it fits my play style and it it
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: really enhances my ability to play from the pocket, you
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: know better.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: How much you any distigation to get that game action
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: the first game at Bilt.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, us football players, it's like you
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: can you can practice as much as you want and
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: and practice is huge, and practice is you know, where
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: the work is done. But you know the real reward
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: and you know, talks about we play for free on Sundays.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: That's that's the fun part, you know. And you know,
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: for me, I haven't played in a in a real
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: football game since the National Championship. So you know, I'm
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: just you know, god willing staying healthy and and getting
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: myself ready for those preseason games. Because I just can't
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: wait to get back out there with the live bullets
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: and and uh, you know, just step into the fire again,
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: because that's that's why we play this game.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Do you have a moment in a meeting that Champas
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: played a moment play?
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: You know, yeah, yeah, I mean that's a good question.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: I think it's really cool when especially like when we
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: come off of you know, we did this last year too,
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: you know, coming off of a break or coming off
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: of you know, the off season. Just sitting back and
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: talking about what we did in the off season and like, hey,
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: what was your what was your highlight of the off
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: season and sharing that stuff, and you know, just hearing
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: hearing about each other's lives outside of football. You know,
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: I think that just brings us closer together. And you know,
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: even hearing like Ange and Tom and what they were
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: doing over the off season, and you know, it just
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: it just brings a human element into it a lot,
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: and we have a lot of fun and it's it's
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: been a good time.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: So uh look, you know, we know that competition. We've
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: talked about this a lot over the last couple of
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: days and trying to get other guys better and having
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: a good attitude about it is good. And just to
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: hear right off the top of that Will Howard sink
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: it's not a toxic competition. It's really really important for
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: a team.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think when you hear that, that's almost
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: the best thing that you could wish for in a
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: competitive environment. It's not toxic, right, And what you probably
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: ask yourself, what do toxic look like in a room
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: if there's a competition with holding information, not talking, having
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: side conversations, not being with the group, or being very
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: tight lipped on information and not being able to have
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: open dialogue.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Especially when you hear who's in that room.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, let's just digest that all the names that
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: he named in there, right, Coach McCarthy's in there, Angelico's
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: in there, Arth is in there.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: And then it's the fore court. It's seven people in
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: a quarterback room.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, So the amount of football knowledge that's being
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: disseminated in that space. And let's not discount what Mason
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Rudolph has gone through, right, a guy who's we can
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: call a journeyman because he's been to more than one
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: place and he came back and he's won games for
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: you he's been to the playoffs. Like Aaron's not the
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: only one that's had that type of experience. He's had
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: the most success at that experience. But that's a lot
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: for two young guys essentially starting at square one, and like, well,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Howard was here for a year, but he wasn't an
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: active participant, and you know, you have him and Aller
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: looking at these guys, there's a lot to glean And
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: like you said, as long as I can learn one
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: little thing better, I could take one thing away from
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: the day better, it's gonna make me a better player.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: And I think that's the cool thing about it. And
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: they're open with the conversation. They're open with dialogue. You know,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: they even talk about how you know, McCarthy and Aaron
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: go at each other like an old married couple, right,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: because they've got thirteen years of experience together, right.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: So that's something that's really cool to see and you
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: can see you can project yourself in the future on
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: how things can go. But I think having all of
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: that just makes for a better environment for all parties.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: And by the way, you know, Mason Rudolph I think
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: has gotten big time kudos for being a great teammate.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: So not only is he a valuable guy that can
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: come in and give you an opportunity to win games,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: but the kind of guy that'll you know, there are
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: certain guys who you know can bust on the star player. Yeah,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: and most guys can't, and most guys wouldn't dare And
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: some guys can occasionally do it and pull it off.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Some guys can do it in a bad way, and
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: then it's like, uh, next thing, you know, you're at
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: being told to clear out your locker. Other guys can
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: do it in away. Other guys could do it in
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: a way that brings everybody together. I don't know how
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: much Mason does of that, but I do know that
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I've just heard he's a really really good teammate and
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: and keeps everybody in a good headspace. I guess that's
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: probably the Maybe that's the term that would you know,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: without really knowing the ins and outs of what that means,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: but keeps you in a good headspace, things loose, right, yeah, yeah,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: intense environment.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: You know, he's the guy that's kind of like the mediator,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: the go between, right, because he's gonna be eyes and
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: ears for Aaron from the sidelines, and then he's also
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: the guy that can disseminate the information to the young guys, right,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: you know, because you always say backup quarterbacks to clipboard guy,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: right right, you know. And he's the one that's keeping
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: track of things well, he can relay that information. Plus
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: he also is going to be talking to the coaches.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be right next to the coaches.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: So I think he's a good middleman because he has
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: that working knowledge, he has experience, but he also knows
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: what his role is. He's not trying to usurp the
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: king right right, you know, he's there. He's like, Hey,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: I'm good with being in the in the role that
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: you define for me. I'm really good at that. Another
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: guy I think was excellent at that during his time
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Charlie Batch. Yes, yep, I was thinking of the same thing,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: same exact type of deal.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: I'm he's not trying to take Ben's job, but he's
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: also trying to make job Ben's job easier, right, And
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: he's the one that if things go awry, you know,
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: you're not going to want to necessarily talk to a
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: coach if he hasn't played. I want to talk to
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: the player that also sees it, but he still can
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: act like a coach. And that's what Charlie was for
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Ben for so many years, and I think that's what
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: you kind of see developing with Mason. Regardless of whoever
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: is coming in here. Mason's always kind of been that
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: number two, that's been the guy who can be the
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: translator for everybody, right.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: And Charlie of course came up with this starting the
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: experience with the Lions, and you knew that if you
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: put him in there, he was going to give you
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: a chance to win. Which gets me to I think
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: the topic that everyone's thinking, Well, there's two topics everyone
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: are everyone's really thinking about as far as this quarterback
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: position to backup quarterback position. We know who the number
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: one is and we're gonna get both to both of
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: those questions while we continue in the locker room here
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: on this hit, there's audio network.

• 34:13
  Speaker 2: So welcome back inside the locker room here at Saint
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Vincent College where we're watching the mower working on field
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: number two. It's very quiet out here now, but the
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: weather here has been spectacular for the first three days,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: remained spectacular today. So we're talking about you just heard
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: from Will Howard in the last segment, and we've been
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: talking about, you know, the quarterback position. And again, Mike McCarthy, assay,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: are you worried that Will Howard hasn't played since the
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Ohio State championship game in a real game. Well, what
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: do you what do you do about nothing? There's nothing
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: you can do about that. And you know, Mike McCarthy,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: we went through this yesterday about his background as a
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: quarterback coach, then an offensive coordinator, and then of course
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: the head coach. You know, he calls it going to
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: quarterback school. By the way, one of the questions I'm
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: gonna have to ask him at some point, do you
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: ever graduate from quarterbacks school? Are you? Are you perpetually
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: a student in quarterbacks school?
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Apparently twenty one years and Aaron Rodgers is still still
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: a student, So there is There is no ascension level.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: It's just when you retire, you just stop doing it.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: He's he's a he's a very very very good student.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: He's probably in the front of the class emeritus. He's
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: probably a TA. Yeah, he's maybe he's a TA. That's
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: a good call. Maybe he's a TA. Yeah. So I
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: think there are two things about this quarterback uh situation.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Actually several things I said too, but that you know,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: more of cropped up into my mind as we went
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: to commercial break. The first thing I want to ask
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: is just simply, we talked about roster construction yesterday and
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: went through the roster yesterday. I don't like doing it
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: quite this early, but you know, because he broke a
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: story for us a couple of days ago, club reporter
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Schaefer King wanted me to go over this steerer's roster
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: breakdown and what I thought. So I walking the dog
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: and I got back last So I thinking, okay, let's
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: go through the fifty three. What is it going to
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: look like. And you know, we talked about this yesterday,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I think to me, and we'll see two of the
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: biggest places on the roster where you know, if everybody
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: stays healthy, we knock on wood again, big people which
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: are in high demand in the sport. Yeah, good, big
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: people are going to either you are going to try
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: to sneak him throw on waivers, or they're just going
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: to have to be released. I just don't see how
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: you can keep if everybody stays healthy, the number of
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: quality big guys they have, can they keep four quarterback?
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I just can't see how they can do it. Max,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I don't either. I mean, the reason why they were
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: able to kind of sneak well Howard throws because they
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: were able to irm right, That's how you're able to
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: keep him, because I think if he wasn't injured, you
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: had to make a decision and you might have lost
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: him potentially if you put him out there in free agency.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Injuries Really the only way I see that you can
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: keep four. There's no other way on an active roster,
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: especially when you talked about it, the largest concentration of
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: your team for like spots O line, D line, so
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: the most amount of bodies. Literally you'll have nine offensive
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: linemen and at least seven to eight defensive linemen that
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: you're going to keep. Well, that's seventeen guys out of
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: your fifty three gone, right, and then now we still
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: haven't gotten into your receivers, your tight ends, your linebackers
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: inside outside right, your dbs. You need to keep a
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: lot of dbs too on that roster.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: I'd say dB or defensive backfield and defensive line for
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: the DEFENSI side is the largest chunk those two groups
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: right there. Then linebacker kind of fills in in the
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: middle because you're looking at too deep. But it's two
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: different specialties, right you're keeping in that group. So it's
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: a lot of bodies for the big boys. That then
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: gets asserted. I mean you're taking about a third of
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: your roster alone in just that little over a third
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: if ross's just O line and D line, because of
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: how many positions they take up on a field.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Again, I just look at their too deep on the
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: offensive line and think, you know, even if somebody really
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: impresses in camp, Like, for example, Stephen Jones is back
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: in camp this year, and he was a guy early
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: on last year was getting a lot of buzz, kind
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: of like Dylan Cook had the year before. Hey, this
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: guy's this guy's got something into and then third preseason
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: then there was just a fade because these guys, you know,
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: it's a different environment that then than they're used to,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: or whatever the reason may be. But he's a really
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: intriguing guy. He's back in camp this year now and
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: then strong too.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, he was a guy that you would consider
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: any other circumstance, any other team. He's definitely considered on
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: your top eight to any other situation.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: You're happy to have him as your ninth guy. Yeah,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh crap, okay, Yeah, I would love to
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: have this guy. He's a good locker room guy. He's strong,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: he's physical at that guard, he's smart. But you're weighing
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: up against draft picks, right, you're winning these veterans you
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: brought in.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: You also have an ongoing battle for two starting positions.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: On this offensive line, which we can get to next hour. Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: because there was more on that yes morning too.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Where do you fit in in that and you're the
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: odd man out because now we're you usually a top nine,
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: you're a top twelve guy on this team particularly YEP.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: So it's a tough place to meet. Like I said,
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: we're gonna lose quality guys that are going to go
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: on to start contribute and play for other teams. Rosers
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: that we're seeing out here.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Of the ninety, I.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Would venture to say we have at least ten to
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: eleven guys who are going to go elsewhere and play.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna have to lose. So and again, just
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: to reiterate, because we talked about this, and we're gonna
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: talk more about the offensive line on so I don't
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: want to get too far into the week because I
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: want to wrap up the quarterback thing. But we talked
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: about this yesterday. Why are we harping on this. Why
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: do we care about that twelveth offensive lineman. Well, look
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: who's competing for a starting right tackle spot this year
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: in camp? Dylan Cook. He was not among the nine,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: he was among the twelve a year ago. He did
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: not make your roster last year, and now they're talking
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: about him starting at right tackle this year. So that's
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: why we look at these things with a great deal
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: of importance. So I agree with you. I can't see
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: him caring for Okay, So now comes the next question.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, of course, is a lock.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: To me.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: You've got a team that you're hoping is going to
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: make the playoffs and make some noise when they get there. Correct.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: So let's say Aaron misses a game. He remember he
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: missed the Bears game last year, misses a game or
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: two forty two years old, six starting quarterbacks have started
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: a game at that age in NFL history, seventeen straight. Right,
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: So if heaven forbid, there's a serious issue that keeps
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: him out for any length of time. You can say
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: that with most teams and most quarterbacks, you're done. Season's over. Right.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: We look at the Bengals. You lose Joe Burrow, your
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: season's over, and you had to trade for Joe Flacco.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: That's how bad it was. Your season's done, you're finished,
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: it's over. You lose him for eight or nine, you're
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: not making the playoffs. That's just the way it is
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: with most teams. Boy, there's that middle ground where if
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: you're missing somebody for three or four games, don't you
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: want a veteran that can come in that started in
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: the league, that understands what needs to be done taking
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: your team to the playoffs before and we literally done
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: it on his resume. We saw Mason Rudolph last year
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: in Chicago, you know, with the Bears team that has
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: it turned out was an awfully good Bears team. Give
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: him every opportunity to win that game. Did they win
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the game? No, on the road, they didn't win the game,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: but boy, he sure gave him an excellent chance of
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: winning that game. You know, I think as you look
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: at the roster right now, you have Will Howard who
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: hasn't played a game since the National Championship Game two
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: years ago, Right two years ago. You have Drew Aller,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: who's a rookie who they're trying to rebuild from the
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: ground up. That's what they've talked about doing. And it
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: was injured last year, right injured last year. So you're
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: thinking of a bit of a project there. Well, you're
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: a team going back to the original premise built to
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: try to have success in the playoffs. Do you need that?
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Do you need not choose to need Mason Rudolph in
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: case that happens, In case somebody misses three or four games,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: and I say yes, Aaron, I say yes right now.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: As it stands right now, we.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Haven't played any preseason I understood, So I haven't seen
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: a single professional throw from Will Howard or Drew Aller
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: to give me any confidence yet.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: But as it stands right now, you have.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: To keep Will Howard, I mean, I'm sorry, you have
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: to keep Mason Rudolph right and you got to see
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: what the potential is of the two for what.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Future expectations could because like you said, this is more.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Of a win now mode. You don't go Michael Pittman
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Junior and Rico o'dowdele, you know, to help bolster Aaron
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: Rodgers if you don't plan on wanting to win now, right,
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: you know. Mike Pursua put this question out here on
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: our show the first day. All the Steelers had to
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: do from a year ago now this year is answer
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: the question, how do we get thirteen minutes better? Because
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: you were still in the game against Houston and the
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: playoffs a year ago until the last thirteen minutes of
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: that fourth.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Quarter, it is hard for people to remember that, Yeah,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: how quickly and badly it unraveled and it was quick
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: fastening in a hurry. That game was a tight game,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: yep y set for the long and.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Working into it, and you just needed the last thirteen
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: minutes of a sixty minute game to go differently. And
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: you're in the second round. So that's all they're looking
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: for is thirteen minutes better.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: And it's an interesting way of putting it, right. Yeah.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: So that's why I say a Mason Rudolph is a
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: necessity for that as it stands right now, until I
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: see some fantastic things done in the preseason, I feel
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: like Mason Rudolph has to be your number two.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: So that is the now, and I agree with you,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: that's the now. Now, let's take a step back and
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: gaze into the middle distance. We're not gonna eat it.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: You can never gaze into the future in the NFL. Well, well,
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: if you're the Browns, that's all you do. You have
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: to can we trade four years in the future draft picks?
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: So I think that you're looking at two guys, So
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: what what is what is the evaluate First of all,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: both those guys are going to be evaluated. What's the
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: evaluation process? If Mason Rudolph right now, from this vantage
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: point is a lot to make the team for the
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: reasons we mentioned really good, really good guy in the clubhouse,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: really good teammate, and a and a good quarterback that
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: can help you, like Charlie Batch, you know, get you
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: two and two with Ben's out for four games. Right.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: You know, Charlie was never put in a position where
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: he had to start ten or twelve games for this Steelers, right,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: So we don't know how that would have gone. But
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: we do know that again, when teams lose starting quarterbacks,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: it's usually not for the season. It's usually not a
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: good thing. So you have Mason Rudolph as a as
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: a true necessity in one possible scenario. Yeah. By the way,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: it reminds me of The Terminator, one of my all
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: time favorite movies. One possible future. That's one possible future.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Or if you're younger like me, you go to the
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: you go to Marvel and you go to Avenger's Infinity
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: War and you have doctor Strange looking at Tony Starkins
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: saying there's just one.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Way, Yes, that's why. But in this one there's many ways.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: There's many ways. So thank you for reminding me how
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: much younger you are. Very nice you so I do
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: love the terminator anyway. So if you're looking into that
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: middle distance, look at this roster you've built. Look at
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: this solid roster with two tight ends under contract, nine
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: to ten offensive linemen you feel good about, many of
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: whom are under club control. Beyond this, just traded for
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Michael Pittman and drafted Jeremy Bernard, thus solidifying your wide
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: receiver position. So if you just look at it from
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: the offense perspective, you have Dabble, and you have Warren,
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: and then you have you know you're gonna fill out
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: the rest of the running back class. This is a
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: tremendous situation in which to drop a quarterback. Okay, so
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: let's just extend this further out. You'd like it to
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: be either Will Howard or Drew Aller. Yeah, that would
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: be the ideal scenario because the other scenario is you
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: gotta trade up to get somebody. Okay, So there goes
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: this year's coming you twenty twenty sevens, first, twenty twenty
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: eighths first, probably probably a second round. If the Steelers
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: finished where we think they're gonna finish, probably a second
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: round pick, maybe even a player. Thus saying, okay, we're
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: looking in the middle distance. But this group, that look
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: that we're talking about now, you know things age quickly
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: in the NFL, that group better still be good two
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: years from now because you're not gonna have any other
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: way to add to that group, right, and then you
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: know that quarterback is gonna have to grow. So it's
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: a different if you could have if one of these
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: two guys can save you from having to go down
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: that road, that future road. Yeah, well you want to
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: look at both of those guys. So now we're back
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: to four quarterbacks again, back to four quarterbacks or you're
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: saying somebody's on the trade block, and then how do
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: you ascertain which of those young quarterbacks? If possible, would
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: you like to look at them for a longer period
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: of time? Yeah, is one of them? Do you feel
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: like one of them could be that guy that goes
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: two and two in a four game stretch for you?
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: There's just so projecting in this presess it is. It
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: is just you know, it's a big question. It's bigger.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: This year is bigger, and I would say far bigger
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: than your normal who's going to be the backup quarterback?
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Do we have a developmental quarterback? Because there's just so
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: much more at play, so we're gonna continue to dive
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: into this. We're also gonna talk a little bit about
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: the offensive line. We are overdue for break, so let's
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: take one. Now you are in the locker room with
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Max Starks and Rob King. We are coming to you
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: on this ste there's Audio Network
