00:00I'll tell you, he hasn't had his career underway just yet, playing a lot of action.

00:03That's Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:05Ian Rappaport's tweet yesterday, the Steelers coach Mike Tomlin tells reporters that veterans

00:09such as Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, TJ Watt, Alex Highsmith, and Cam Ward won't play in

00:15their second preseason game amongst others here.

00:17Trying to stay fresh.

00:18It's a veteran locker room.

00:20You know what's important in Pittsburgh.

00:22It's not winning a Super Bowl.

00:23It's making sure you secure that ninth win of the season.

00:26That's what they're trying to do here, Joe.

00:28Slow and steady, stay healthy, we'll all eventually get there.

00:33Let's be realistic here.

00:35It's, you know, who they got this week in preseason here, Donnie.

00:41Who they playing in week two of this preseason because, yeah, whoever it is, because they've

00:50been running joint camps here all week.

00:53Tampa, right?

00:54So, and we already know Todd Bowles is a guy that wants nothing to do with playing starters

01:00during the preseason.

01:01He's another guy that you'd be lucky to see anybody on the Tampa side that actually means

01:06anything come this season.

01:08So, you got to do that.

01:10I mean, Aaron Rodgers is still trying to figure out how to fit the helmet on his head.

01:13So, you know, he looks like Lord Helmet and he's not happy about it.

01:17So, he, there's some issues going on with Pittsburgh right now.

01:22By the way, remember when Antonio Brown was burning his feet and taking balloon rides into

01:27camp and not showing up and then threatening to screw the NFL because he couldn't use his

01:30helmet, then eventually getting cut and finding his way to the New England Patriots.

01:34Those were fun times.

01:35We're not saying Aaron Rodgers is going to do that same thing.

01:36But play out the scenario for me, Joe.

01:39Sunday, 1 p.m. kickoff, and that's September 7th.

01:43The New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

01:47What happens if the Pittsburgh Steelers lose to the New York Jets week number one?

01:53Oh, it's going to be fun.

01:56And don't think there won't be some juice in that building.

01:58But, I mean, the reality is different regime, different time, different everything there

02:04for the, for the Jets.

02:06But don't forget, Fields was a former Pittsburgh Steeler not too long ago as well.

02:13So, interesting week one matchup.

02:16And by the way, the whole backdrop of this is fantastic with these two quarterbacks.

02:20But let's remember this.

02:21The Steelers wanted Justin Fields.

02:23He's like, dude, I'm out of here, man.

02:25You hated me.

02:25I'm going to the Jets.

02:26That should be a fun one.

02:28I'm going to the Jets.
