00:00Territory 14-7 second quarter
00:02Trask
00:05As his man is a little behind him and it goes incomplete
00:09That was Jared there and Nichols in coverage
00:13He's an active player as well
00:15Art, I want to ask you also about
00:17The draft coming up. It's one of the biggest days
00:20We saw the draft countdown clock earlier at 2.50
00:23Which is an interesting number. We're that close
00:26It's going to go fast. It's here in April
00:27Give us a sampling of what Steeler Nation can expect
00:30Not only that, but visitors from all over the NFL
00:32Easy access to Pittsburgh
00:33Right. Well, that's one of the things
00:35You know, we're so close to so many different NFL cities
00:38That we think we'll have, you know
00:41Probably the biggest crowd that's ever been in a draft
00:44And hundreds of thousands of people
00:46The biggest visitor event in the history of the city
00:49So it's going to be very exciting
00:50A lot of work between now and then
00:52But it's going to be an exciting weekend
00:55For the city of Pittsburgh
00:56Looking forward to it. It's going to be awesome
00:58Thank you for the time, Art. We appreciate it
01:00Great. Thanks for having me
01:01All right. Art Rooney the second
01:02When we come back, the Steelers are back on offense
01:04Skylar Thompson so far in this game
01:12Two for three, 45 yards
01:13There's Caleb Johnson
01:14Caleb making men miss
01:15Over the 40-yard line
01:16Close to it
01:17Jacob Parrish was there to clean it up
01:20But not before 14 yards
01:22For Caleb Johnson
01:23That's one Mike Tomlin talked about him being patient
01:26Where last week he was working
01:27And looked about outside
01:29Here he stayed within his keys
01:30Inside the tackles
01:32Nice run by Johnson
01:33Love to see that cut back running
01:35And very good blocking at the line of scrimmage too
01:37By an offensive line
01:39Was moving to the right
01:39He cut back left
01:4014 yards later
01:41The Steelers have a first down
01:42Trailing 14-7 here in the second quarter
01:45Two Teddy Bridgewater touchdowns
01:47At Tampa up 14-zip Mason Rudolph
01:50With a touchdown to Brandon Johnson
01:52Cut it in half
01:53And that's Johnson again
01:54Greg Gaines is over there to make that stop
01:58It may not show up in the stat line
02:03If it's a nice tough run by Johnson
02:05Inside the tackles right there
02:07Not much there
02:08Knowing he had to run through a defender
02:09But he was able to pick up three yards there
02:11We should point out too
02:16The Logan Lee story will continue
02:18Because we saw him
02:18On the last situation with a punt
02:20He had to do that
02:21That's not easy to long snap
02:22When you haven't done it that well
02:23We'll get back to that later
02:24Brandon Johnson
02:24On the out pattern
02:26Gets close to first down yardage
02:27Knocked out of bounds
02:28He's been active
02:29You know there's some possibilities
02:31With this receiving core
02:32In terms of who's on it
02:34By the end of the day
02:35It is
02:36And Johnson is making a case for himself
02:37He had two big plays in the draft prior to
02:39But here he is just working a simple out route
02:41Realizing off coverage
02:43Was able to pick up that
02:47Jacob Parrish is active defensively
02:49Number 25 for them on a Kansas State
02:51He was the third round pick this year
02:52And he's one of the guys they're counting on
02:54Right off the bat
02:55This time Johnson hit immediately
02:58He tries to move forward for about a yard
02:59And he does get that
03:00That's Nick Jackson and Mike Green
03:04Were there defensively
03:05I think this one here might be setting up
03:07For a potential virtual spot
03:09Let's see what happens
03:10Referees are playing on
03:13That's very close
03:15You can see from up here
03:16Not that the chain gain is totally
03:18Correct here
03:19But it's going to be fourth down
03:20And the Steelers
03:21Like Tampa
03:22Are going to go for this
03:23The Tampa Bay Buccaneers
03:24Converted a fourth and six
03:25In route to their first touchdown
03:27Now this is fourth and one
03:31Skyler Thompson
03:32Flanked by Caleb Johnson
03:34Bundle package to the right
03:37Little play action
03:41And it's a completion of Connor Hayward
03:43That's going to be very close
03:45And that will depend
03:46It only needed a yard
03:47The Steelers sideline is all pointing first down
03:51It's all going to come down to the spot right now
03:54It looks like they're moving the chains
03:55It's a quick little play here
03:58Pretty well diagnosed by Tampa by the way
04:02But they got the yard necessary
04:04So a new set of downs for the Steelers
04:05Thompson feels pressure
04:07Runs to his right
04:08Trying to avoid it
04:09Dumps it off Caleb Johnson
04:10And he made something out of nothing
04:12And they get eight yards as a result
04:13Really nice play by Skyler Thompson
04:15Who continues to do nice things at quarterback
04:17It's a very crowded quarterback room
04:20But he's opened up some eyes around the league
04:22Yes it is
04:23Here he is impromptu play here
04:25Just looking
04:26Most people thought he was going to throw it out of bounds
04:27But here he is just finding Johnson
04:29As they're playing playground football
04:30And that's what you want to see
04:31Sometimes you just have to make a play
04:33And they were on the same page
04:34All right
04:36So a healthy game
04:37They actually marked it with nine yards
04:39And that makes up second and one
04:41For the Steelers
04:41In Tampa territory
04:42Trailing seven
04:43Looking for the equalizer
04:44This time
04:50Big pitch
04:51To Johnson
04:52Thompson
04:52Delivers over the middle
04:53Right on the money
04:54A sliding reception there
04:55And that's Scotty Miller
04:57Once again
04:58Out of Bowling Green
05:00And a man who played for this Tampa team
05:0323 yards
05:04Tom Brady found him a few times down there
05:07Now he's going against his former team
05:09Yes he is
05:10And that play starts with protection
05:11Because he's pushing the ball down the field
05:13Nice job by the offensive line there
05:14Back to quick motion here
05:16And they get a playoff
05:17And that goes to J.J. Galbraith
05:19One of the tight ends
05:21New to this team
05:22Five straight completions
05:24And it's up-tempo offense right now
05:25For Skyler Thompson and company
05:27Arthur Smith
05:27Calling this
05:28Design here
05:30Troy
05:31Trey Sermon is now in the game
05:32He had a touchdown last week
05:34And also some good work on special teams
05:36Yes it is
05:37And Arthur Smith was pushing
05:38The tempo there
05:39Because he realized
05:40He had the actual personnel
05:41In on the defensive side
05:43By the Buccaneers
05:44And he wanted to make sure
05:44They stayed in that personnel group
05:46Ninth play of this drive
05:47Second and five for the Steelers
05:49Under seven minutes left
05:50First half
05:50Tampa leading 14-7
05:52Here at Aggershire Stadium
05:53Thompson now
05:58Trying to set it up to Sermon
06:00That's a high delivery
06:01And that's a dangerous play right there
06:04But Sermon makes it
06:07It doesn't go for much
06:08He's trying to set up the screen right there
06:10Had what they wanted
06:11As it relates to pressure
06:12But just wasn't able to get over
06:14The top of the
06:15Who's that 45 right there
06:17It's like he jumped pretty high
06:18But that's a dangerous throw
06:19Like you talked about Bob
06:20You can see any
06:21Errors in that particular play
06:24That could have easily been
06:25An interception the other way
06:26Tenth play of this drive now
06:28For the Steelers
06:28Robert Woods is in the game now
06:31And he is
06:32One of those guys
06:33Battling for a roster spot
06:34The veteran
06:3433 years of age
06:35Played for a lot of teams
06:38Won a Super Bowl
06:38With the Rams
06:39Thompson delivers
06:43Up in the air
06:44And it's picked off
06:44It was intended for McCutcheon
06:46And that's going to be intercepted
06:48By Kindell
06:49Bildor
06:50And he's still running
06:51Trying to go across the floor
06:52We do have a flag on the play
06:54That was in and out of the hands
06:55Of McCutcheon
06:56The intended receiver
06:57And Bildor picks it up
06:59And goes the other way
07:00And again there is a flag
07:01Charlie
07:01It looks like this is going to come
07:03After the interception occurred
07:04After the interception
07:05Personal foul
07:07Unnecessary roughness
07:08On the receiving team
07:09Number 29
07:10Half the distance of the goal
07:12First down
07:13Timeout
07:14That foul is on
07:16Christian Izean
07:17And we're going to take a break
07:19And the Steelers
07:20Move down the field
07:21But another turnover
07:22Dooms that drive
07:2314-7
07:24Back in a flash
07:25Ready?
07:44Va bene!

08:13Cole Holcomb once again who's been busy making tackles
08:17Tucker puts his shoe on
08:19as it came off temporarily
08:20second and four after the six yard gain
08:22but that didn't look like there was a lot of contact there
08:25nothing was called Tomlin was animated
08:27for sure and that was one just roll covers
08:29balls in the air
08:30and that's one that they were emphasizing
08:32heading into the preseason unfortunately
08:34that call didn't go again for the Steelers
08:36second and four for Tampa
08:39inside of six minutes left
08:41Trask hands off up the middle
08:42and this is a first down run
08:44and a pretty good run right over there
08:46for Josh Williams

09:39probably on the phone right now
09:41absolutely
09:42right now Tampa is controlling
09:44two big runs on his draft thus far
09:46Steelers have to firm up the run defense
09:48and it was good
09:49in the first quarter
09:50not so good in this one
09:51that's good right there
09:52that's a good play there once again

10:21yeah originally
10:22he was
10:23out of Ohio State
10:25in a third round pick of Baltimore
10:26but here he is now
10:27a lot of

10:44just undercutting
10:45realizing

11:04this will be a tough one
11:05third and 12
11:06facing Kyle Trask
11:09who I would imagine
11:10at this point is the backup
11:11but Teddy Bridgewater
11:12played well
11:13here comes Jack Sawyer
11:14around the edge
11:14Sawyer trying to get to Trask
11:16just missed him
11:17that's Sean Tucker
11:17good defense
11:18it'll be short

11:41Keyshawn Williams
11:43is back
11:43Riley Dixon
11:45to kick it away
11:46and he has
11:48very good hang time
11:50on his punts
11:50and they really like him
11:51he has changed
11:52the field position
11:52he did with them
11:54and so far last week
11:55in his preseason
11:55he did the same
11:56averaging 50 yards
11:57a boot
11:58Williams
11:59on the run
12:00takes it
12:0130

12:12at our citizens
12:13bank position room
12:14and the outside
12:15linebackers
12:15because this
12:16is a very deep
12:17position for the
12:18Pittsburgh Steelers
12:18yes it is
12:19and when you see
12:20just your top four
12:20you know
12:21Nick Herbig
12:22is going to be there
12:22but the injury
12:23just occurred here
12:24today
12:24provides opportunities
12:25for the other
12:26rushers that are
12:27on this team
12:28can they take
12:28advantage of that
12:29we'll see as this
12:30game goes on
12:31hopefully the injury
12:32to Herbig
12:32is not too serious
12:33there's T.J. Watt
12:34on the sidelines
12:35not dressed of course
12:36Herbig
12:37had a little bit
12:37of an injury
12:39it doesn't look bad
12:41he's on the sideline
12:41right there
12:42but he got banged up
12:42early in this game
12:43T.J. Watt
12:45the all-time sack
12:46leader
12:46followed by
12:47Cam Hayward
12:48then James Harrison
12:49Caleb Johnson
12:50remains in the game
12:51of running back
12:52we saw a 14-yard game
12:53the last time
12:54he was on the field
12:54approaching the
12:56two-minute warning
12:57now Tampa Bay

12:5814-0 lead
12:59Mason Rudolph
13:00to Brandon Johnson
13:01cut it in half
13:01Skyler Thompson
13:03now to Johnson
13:04not much happening
13:06there
13:06the offensive line
13:07couldn't get the job
13:07done
13:08and the defense
13:08of Tampa
13:09comes up
13:09big gains
13:10once again
13:10number 96
13:11was there
13:12to make that play
13:13you see Arthur
13:14Smith is still
13:15trying to establish
13:16that run game
13:16typically when you're
13:17in this situation
13:18in the second quarter
13:19two minutes
13:19started to drive
13:20with two minutes
13:2150 seconds left
13:22normally you would
13:24pass
13:25but here Arthur
13:26Smith is just
13:26trying to take
13:26his time
13:27at this particular
13:27point
13:28if he picks up
13:28the first down
13:29that would change
13:30but of course
13:31we're approaching
13:31a two-minute warning
13:32and it's a big
13:33component for the
13:34Steelers
13:34they have to get
13:35that part of the
13:35game going
13:36set up
13:36the play action
13:37last week
13:3825 carries

13:40that's not good
13:40enough
13:40not at all
13:41second and ten
13:43now facing
13:44Skyler Thompson
13:44looks left
13:45late blitz
13:46comes
13:47he evades it
13:48he now has time
13:49he's going to tuck
13:50it in and get back
13:51to the line of
13:52scrimmage there
13:52but good job
13:53just to get there
13:54kind of a delayed
13:56blitz situation
13:56by Tampa
13:57and he got
13:58rid of that
13:58quickly
13:59nice coverage
14:00this is the
14:02two-minute warning
14:02all right
14:04we have reached
14:05the two-minute
14:05warning here
14:06in Pittsburgh
14:08Mike Tomlin
14:08and his team
14:09trailing by seven
14:10when we come back
14:11to Akersher Stadium
14:12and running back
14:22Galbraith a big
14:25tight end
14:26now
14:26and we have
14:28movement right there
14:29on the right side
14:30of the offensive line
14:31offense number 78
14:33that's a five-yard penalty
14:34that's Gareth Warren
14:36who's from Hawaii
14:38actually Kona Hawaii
14:40is a native of that
14:41area
14:41trying to pick up
14:43the cheap five yards
14:44there in third and ten
14:45just that slight movement
14:48defense is going to point it out
14:50yeah Gareth Warren
14:53was a guy who had an
14:54impressive minicamp
14:54tryout here in May
14:55and got an opportunity
14:57long road to hold
14:58though
14:58to get down to a roster
15:00and he's trying to do his best
15:00but that won't help his chances
15:02as it's now third
15:04and 15 for Skylar Thompson
15:06Brandon Johnson
15:16is the receiver
15:17trying to get extra yards
15:18to about the 38-yard line
15:20Kendall Vendor
15:21once again
15:22who made an interception
15:22earlier
15:23is the tackle
15:24this is one here
15:28if it was regular season
15:29Tampa probably would have
15:30called a timeout there
15:31to try to preserve
15:32as much time
15:33as possible
15:34they didn't use it there
15:35Steelers are going to
15:36bleed the clock
15:37all the way down
15:38leaving
15:38less opportunity
15:40for the Buccaneers
15:41in the two-minute drill
15:42you're exactly right
15:42I was thinking that
15:43I thought they would
15:44call a timeout
15:44Todd Bowles elects
15:45not to do that
15:46they got some familiar
15:49faces on his coaching staff
15:50Larry Foote of course
15:51calling the defensive plays
15:53he's a defensive run game
15:55coordinator
15:55and then
15:56the ageless Tom Moore
15:5786 years old
15:59still doing it
16:01and we saw him on the field
16:02before the game
16:02was part of Chuck Knoll's
16:03coaching staff
16:04Corliss Waitman now
16:06hits it
16:07Tez Johnson
16:08with a fair catch
16:09he's going to win a bounce
16:10and it takes a steal
16:11a bounce and a good one
16:12all the way to the
16:1312-yard line
16:14before it's down by them
16:15Carson Bruner back there
16:17number 44
16:17that's a 50-yard punt
16:19with no return
16:19and there he is
16:20Tom Moore
16:21still getting it done
16:22Charlie
16:2286 years of age
16:24you have a brilliant
16:26mind like that
16:26you're going to
16:27utilize that
16:28and he's still doing it
16:29he loves the game
16:30of football
16:31this is 46th season
16:32how about that
16:33four-time Super Bowl
16:35champ as well
16:35started as a Steelers
16:37wide receiver coach
16:38way back in the 1970s
16:39and he was the
16:39offensive coordinator
16:40for Peyton Manning
16:41yes
16:42that's a football lover
16:47right
16:47that's what you would
16:48call him
16:48Bruce Arians
16:49went to Arizona
16:50took him right along
16:50with him
16:51and obviously
16:52that's how they
16:52ended up in Tampa
16:53so each team
16:55still with three timeouts
16:57under a minute left
16:58first half
16:59Trask
16:59he's going to throw
17:00pocket collapsing
17:01throws
17:01almost intercepted there
17:03Beanie Bishop
17:04with a nice play
17:05he played well last week
17:06on Sean Tucker
17:07kind of a late
17:08developing play
17:09and Bishop had his
17:10eyes on a pick
17:11big game last week
17:13six tackles
17:14played a lot
17:15last year as a rookie
17:16but with Jalen Ramsey
17:18coming onto this roster
17:19he was the odd man out
17:21as he's learning from
17:21those veteran guys
17:22but he can contribute
17:23but we're going to see
17:24a lot of him during the
17:25season but most receivers
17:26most offenses are playing
17:28four receivers
17:28undrafted last year
17:31had some big interceptions
17:33even against Aaron Rodgers
17:34when the Jets came to town
17:36Trask now
17:37up the middle
17:38comes pressure
17:38he evades it
17:39good move by Trask
17:40to get away
17:41then slides to avoid
17:42a hit by Myles Killebrew
17:43the pressure was right there
17:45at the very beginning
17:46and it didn't result
17:47in a sack
17:48although it could have
17:49Ikuliona
17:50was the guy in there
17:52Pittsburgh
17:5330 second timeout
17:54so the Steelers
17:55now sensing a chance
17:56to get it back
17:57there you go
17:57I'm going to win
17:59a third
17:59and sixth opportunity here
18:01see if they can get
18:02off the field
18:03create a short field
18:05for your offense
18:05see if you can put
18:06some points on the board
18:07as you end this half
18:08you see Liotta
18:09come up the middle there
18:10he almost had him
18:12but he was a little bit
18:13wide and Trask
18:14has been around enough
18:15to know how to get
18:15around that
18:16Trask is out of Florida
18:17originally a second round
18:19pick
18:20and now he's
18:21Baker Mayfield's
18:22primary backup
18:23Mayfield
18:24signed that big
18:26$100 million deal
18:27a couple of years ago
18:28and now they restructured
18:30it to create more cap space
18:31third and six
18:34a big one for the
18:34Steeler defense
18:35trailing by seven
18:39want to get the ball back
18:40with one chance
18:41and the rest of this
18:42first half
18:42pressure again underneath
18:43Tess Johnson makes a move
18:45and he gets first down
18:46yardage
18:47Brandon Nichols was there
18:49he had him
18:49but he overran it
18:50nice play by Johnson
18:51that's eight yards
18:52Tampa takes a timeout
18:54right now
18:54Steelers did everything
18:56to get the ball out of
18:57Trask's hand
18:57just wasn't able
18:59to bring down the ball
19:00carry
19:00that's unfortunate
19:01for the Steelers right
19:02there
19:02and Tess Johnson
19:03is a very interesting
19:04player
19:05I mean he's a seventh
19:06round pick
19:07he has some big numbers
19:09at Oregon
19:0983 catches
19:1010 touchdowns
19:12was the MVP of the
19:13Big Ten championship game
19:14you might recall too
19:14so
19:15he's little in stature
19:16but somehow he comes up
19:17with plays
19:18he's made a few here
19:18tonight
19:19he's a shifty guy
19:20he runs a 4-5
19:21quick in and out of space
19:23so a new set of downs
19:26here with 39 seconds
19:27left first half
19:28Steelers trail by
19:29seven
19:30Sean Tucker back
19:31in the backfield
19:32Trask looking down
19:34the field
19:34he's going to throw it
19:35to the near side
19:36that one goes in
19:38and over the head
19:39of Tess Johnson
19:39good coverage there
19:40Miles Killebrew
19:41having his opportunity
19:42to play here
19:43in the defensive part
19:45of the game
19:45one of the best
19:46in the world
19:47of what he does
19:47on special teams
19:48Mike Tom Collins
19:49the best in the world
19:50at special teams
19:50but here he is now
19:51in his hand
19:53on the football
19:54Beanie Bishop
19:54is sitting there
19:55saying
19:55I could have
19:56potentially came down
19:57with one
19:58as he had that
20:00jump ball there
20:00but nice job
20:01at Killebrew
20:01all right
20:03so second and ten
20:04now
20:04fans here at
20:05Accord's or Stadium
20:06want to see the
20:06Steelers offense
20:07get one more chance
20:08Trask
20:12over the middle
20:14in and out of the
20:15hands
20:15of their intended
20:16receiver there
20:17it's Rakim Jarrett
20:18should have been
20:19a completion
20:20but it stops
20:20the clock
20:21importantly too
20:21for the Steelers
20:22yes it does
20:23Tampa was trying
20:23to run the exact
20:24same play that
20:25they ran on third
20:25down a couple
20:26plays ago
20:27with the short
20:28crossing route
20:29wasn't able to
20:30connect there
20:30now setting up
20:31a third and ten
20:32and the Steelers
20:33now stand up
20:34and get off
20:34the field
20:35in this situation
20:37you see Aaron
20:38Rogers looking on
20:39I noticed
20:40Ben Skoranek
20:41follows him around
20:42quite a bit
20:42a lot of guys
20:44want to get the
20:44knowledge
20:45that a guy
20:45like number
20:46eight has
20:46he has been
20:49really good
20:49with his teammates
20:49up at La Trobe
20:50this entire process
20:51anxious to see
20:53him in a game
20:53all right
20:56third and ten
20:57Trask
20:57looking to the
20:58outside
20:58and he overthrows
20:59his intended
21:00receiver
21:00again
21:00Beanie Bishop
21:01in coverage
21:01it was intended
21:02for Ryan Miller
21:03so it'll be
21:04fourth down
21:05and the Steelers
21:06will get a chance
21:06that play right
21:07there
21:08that's an incomplete
21:08pass
21:08but that play
21:10was set up
21:10by Beanie Bishop
21:11being exactly
21:12where he was
21:13supposed to be
21:14so Keyshawn
21:16Williams
21:17will be back
21:17number 85
21:17he had that
21:18touchdown reception
21:19last week
21:19from Skyler Thompson
21:20Riley Dixon
21:22to kick it away
21:23and he's a big guy
21:24who went to
21:25school with
21:26one of our
21:27KDK producers
21:28Jared Barton
21:28and he said
21:29he was one of
21:30those guys
21:30who would love
21:31to get involved
21:31in tackles
21:32remember Daniel
21:32Sepulveda
21:33same way
21:34you know
21:34he would play
21:35linebacker too
21:36so
21:36he can run
21:37down the field
21:37and make some
21:38I don't think
21:39the Tampa Bay
21:40coaching stats
21:40wants him to do
21:41that but if
21:42necessary he can
21:42Williams
21:44shaking and baking
21:45getting to the
21:45outside
21:46get some extra
21:46yards as a result
21:48so the Steelers
21:48with 12 seconds
21:49left will have
21:49a chance for
21:50something
21:50that was 51
21:52yards on the
21:53boot
21:5313 on the
21:54return
21:55let's see what
21:57the Steelers
21:58do
21:58they need a
21:58big play
21:59big chunk
21:59play here
22:00about 25
22:00yards
22:01you do have
22:02enough time
22:02to complete
22:03the pass
22:04in the middle
22:04of the field
22:05and call a
22:05timeout
22:06so let's see
22:06how aggressive
22:07Arthur Smith
22:07is going to
22:08be here
22:08Skyler Thompson
22:11it's interesting
22:12that he has
22:13ties to
22:13Will Howard
22:14at Kansas
22:14State
22:14yes
22:15you know
22:15they
22:16I mean
22:16Howard was
22:16there
22:17I think
22:17he transferred
22:17because
22:19you know
22:19Thompson did
22:20a good job
22:20with that
22:21university
22:21at Kansas
22:23State
22:24the only player
22:24to get
22:256,000 passing
22:25yards and
22:261,000 rushing
22:27yards did
22:27Skyler Thompson
22:28pressure
22:32pressure up the
22:32middle
22:32Thompson running
22:33to his right
22:34penalty flag
22:35comes down
22:35throws down
22:36the field
22:37and that's
22:37out of bounds
22:38no good
22:39with 5 seconds
22:40left in this
22:41first half
22:41intended for
22:42Max Hurlman
22:43this one here
22:44is going to be
22:44a holding
22:44offense number
22:4678
22:46that's a 10 yard
22:47penalty
22:47first down
22:49that's Gareth
22:50Warren who had
22:50the false start
22:51on the previous
22:52opportunity
22:53and this is
22:54a holding
22:54flag comes out
23:01at the top
23:03of the screen
23:03yeah he was
23:04holding Christian
23:05Broswell
23:06five seconds
23:08left here
23:08I don't expect
23:09much but
23:09a kneel down
23:10here and take
23:11it to the half
23:11try a field goal
23:12why not
23:12I mean
23:1370 yards
23:16last week
23:17with Cam Little
23:17now everyone's
23:18thinking these
23:18things are going
23:19to happen
23:19this obviously
23:21will be the
23:21final play
23:22of the first
23:22half
23:23and that's
23:23the way
23:23it is
23:24Tampa Bay
23:24struck twice
23:26early
23:27to Teddy
23:28Bridgewater
23:28touchdown passes
23:29and then
23:31a Steelers
23:31counter
23:31Mason Rudolph
23:32to Brandon
23:33Johnson
23:34and that's
23:34where we are
23:3514-7
23:36as we enter
23:37halftime
23:38and coming up
23:39it's A.J. Ross
23:40she has all
23:40your halftime
23:41activities next
23:42right here
23:42on the Steelers
23:43Television Network
23:44up here
23:56and now it's
23:57time to look
23:57at our
23:57first half
23:58recap
23:58which is
23:58presented by
23:59NJM
24:00insurance
24:00no jingles
24:01no mascots
24:02just great
24:03insurance
24:03and this
24:04was the
24:04big play
24:04Roman Wilson
24:05unleashed
24:06two catches
24:0672 yards
24:07beautiful throw
24:08there by
24:08Mason Rudolph
24:09and he was
24:10able to
24:10finish that
24:11drive right
24:11here with
24:12the touchdown
24:12pass to
24:13Johnson
24:13as he was
24:14rolled out
24:14to the left
24:15which was
24:16good to see
24:16Brandon Johnson
24:18is making a
24:18little statement
24:18for himself
24:19now it's time
24:19for the Xfinity
24:20stats of this
24:21first half
24:22you see the
24:22passing yards
24:23weighing heavily
24:24in favor of
24:25the Steelers
24:25they couldn't
24:25get things
24:26going on
24:26the rush
24:26department
24:27and that
24:27needs to
24:28change
24:28obviously
24:29third downs
24:290 for 5
24:30that also
24:30has to
24:30change
24:31although they
24:31did have
24:32a fourth down
24:32conversion
24:33and that was
24:33my key
24:34coming into
24:34the game
24:34build on
24:35third downs
24:36on what you
24:36did last
24:36week
24:37see if
24:37it can
24:37carry over
24:38into today's
24:39game
24:39that didn't
24:39happen thus
24:40far
24:400 for 5
24:41on third
24:41down
24:41and that's
24:42the difference
24:42in this
24:42game
24:43all right
24:43Missy Matthews
24:44is standing
24:44by with
24:45head coach
24:45Mike Tomlin
24:45right now
24:46coach
24:48did you feel
24:49like Caleb
24:49Johnson
24:49had some
24:50more of
24:50that patience
24:51that you
24:51were talking
24:52about in
24:52this game
24:52yeah I thought
24:53he did some
24:54good things
24:54but as a
24:55collective
24:55we got to
24:55run the
24:56ball a little
24:56better
24:56we haven't
24:57been in
24:57enough manageable
24:58third downs
24:59I think it's
24:59reflective in
25:00that in our
25:01third down
25:01percentage I
25:02think we're
25:020 for 5
25:03what did you
25:03think about
25:04Derek Harmon
25:04getting his
25:05first sack
25:05not in a
25:06real game
25:06but he still
25:07got there
25:07you know that's
25:08how he's
25:09performed in
25:09team development
25:10and training
25:10camp he's had
25:11a really good
25:12camp he's
25:13really talented
25:13but obviously
25:14we took him
25:14in round one
25:15how do you

25:47that Mason
25:47wanted an
25:47interception
25:48early in the
25:48game but he
25:49was able to
25:49bounce back a
25:50couple series
25:50later delivering
25:51his beautiful
25:52pass to
25:52Roman Wilson
25:53nothing to
25:54the top and
25:54here he is
25:55now rolling to
25:56the left
25:56again hitting
25:57Johnson for
25:58that touchdown
25:59getting the
25:59Steelers on
26:00the board
26:00that is your
26:02analysis brought
26:03to you by
26:03Cleveland
26:04brothers and
26:04there's Mason
26:05Rudolph Max
26:06Hurlman had a
26:07touchdown right in
26:07his hands that he
26:08dropped on a
26:09slant pattern so
26:10I'm sure you'd like
26:11that one back
26:11so you look at some
26:13of the individual
26:13numbers Skyler
26:14Thompson had a
26:15good day in
26:16terms of completion
26:18percentage
26:18at 8-4-11
26:22he also made some
26:24good plays getting
26:24out of pressure
26:25Troy Fautano and
26:27Broderick Jones how
26:27about those two
26:28guys we talk a lot
26:29about them you know
26:30Broderick Jones is a
26:31guy who played a lot
26:32of snaps last year but
26:33he did it at right
26:33tackle where he gave
26:34up 11 sacks now he's
26:36moved to his natural
26:36position so far in
26:37these two games we've
26:38seen he's done a
26:38pretty good job yeah
26:39the Steelers like
26:40exactly like where
26:41he's at at this
26:41particular point they
26:42understand there's
26:43going to be growth
26:44and development as
26:44he's learning the new
26:45position at this
26:46level so they're
26:47going to be patient
26:48with him but they
26:49believe firmly in
26:50those two first
26:51rounders that they
26:51have right now
26:52the clockman's about
26:54to kick it off when I
26:54give a special
26:55congratulations to Zach
26:56Frazier the PNC Joe
26:58Green great performance
26:59winner the rookie of the
27:00year also he and his
27:01wife Stephanie gave
27:02birth to Bo Allen
27:03Frazier so congrats to
27:05them and also Christian
27:06and Heather Koontz on the
27:07birth of their son
27:08Gray Matthew
27:08so we're ready to go
27:11Steelers get it to start
27:12the second half
27:13Tampa won the kick
27:13off the last first half
27:15they got the ball first
27:16now the Steelers get out
27:17the middle and that's
27:17Caleb Johnson across the
27:1830-35 yard line and the
27:21Steelers have good field
27:21position to start this
27:22second half trailing by
27:24seven nice run by
27:25Johnson there they want
27:26to see him continue to
27:27develop in that return
27:28game because they
27:29anticipate that that's
27:31where he's going to be
27:31just trying to see what
27:32the vision looks like
27:33nice start for him in the
27:35second half
27:36Roman Wilson's also
27:37capable of doing that I
27:38know they like him back
27:39there sometimes we'll see
27:40how that evolves but
27:42Calvin Austin's the guy
27:43who you'd like to have
27:44him back there too but
27:44he's been injured and
27:45you want options and
27:46right now here's their
27:47opportunities right now
27:49with Calvin Austin
27:50injured
27:50all right so now
27:53the quarterback for the
27:54Steelers
27:57I'm sorry it's still
27:58Skyler Thompson
28:01he's rolling to his left
28:03and he fires to Galbraith
28:05who gets first on yardage
28:06takes a big hit there by
28:08J.B. and far as he goes
28:09head over heels but that's
28:10the first down catch for
28:12J.J. Galbraith it was a
28:13gain of 12.
28:14He's coming off play
28:15action here Skyler making
28:16sure he gets his shoulders
28:17around so he can deliver an
28:19accurate ball and you can
28:20see J.J. right there just
28:21trying to get up and over
28:23gaining some more yards
28:24this is a rookie out of
28:25South Carolina or South
28:26Dakota 45 games he started
28:2830 of them in his career he
28:30had 93 catches close to
28:311,400 yards
28:32yeah he's got minimal
28:34opportunities but when he's
28:35in there he does make
28:36things happen Max
28:37Hurlman now in the game
28:3834 bottom of your screen
28:39for Skyler Thompson
28:42Lance McCutcheon also the
28:44man who had that what Mike
28:46Tomlin thought was a holding
28:47call against him it resulted in
28:48an interception now we have a
28:51flag going on there
28:52our referee tonight is Scott
28:58Novak and he'll confer before
29:00he makes his announcement
29:01legally used to hands hands to
29:03the face on the offense it's a
29:0610-yard penalty push down
29:07we saw gains with his helmet
29:09off I don't know if that had
29:10anything to do with it
29:11I was following the ball right
29:13there and we'll see on the
29:14replay
29:16not much there
29:21couldn't see it from that
29:28angle yeah couldn't see from
29:29that angle but he looked he was
29:30upset and they called that he had
29:32his helmet off so that makes sense
29:33if that were the call
29:34so it's first to 20 now for the
29:39Steelers
29:40scale breath in motion
29:41Steelers trailing by seven they
29:43were down 14 nothing before
29:44Mason Rudolph goes to Brandon
29:45Johnson to get the Steelers on
29:46the board
29:47this time Thompson's going to run
29:49it's looking downfield for some
29:50blocking cuts and inside slides at
29:52the 45-yard line heads up play
29:54by Skyler Thompson
29:55Chris Braswell is there but not
29:58much available down the field so he
29:59decided to tuck it away gain of
30:01eight yeah not much there he could
30:02have tried to force the ball down
30:04the field but he was just trying
30:05to get back into a second and
30:06manageable situation picking up
30:08nine
30:08here you are the Steelers
30:10pressing the tempo let's get a
30:12little bit back so now it's
30:13second and 13 officially Skyler
30:15Thompson delivers and that ball
30:17was caught but then dropped by
30:19Max Hurlman so to set up a third
30:21down now and long for the Steelers
30:23and that's what Mike Tomlin was
30:24talking about too many third and
30:25longs which is why they were over
30:27five in the first half
30:28coming out of it trying to get into
30:30those manageable situations but
30:32anytime you have a penalty that
30:34sets you back an extra ten yards
30:35you're just trying to get back into
30:37those third and manageable
30:38situations and right now the
30:39Steelers haven't done that but
30:40let's see if they confirm up the
30:41protection as he's looking to push
30:43the ball down the field
30:44all right so another big play for
30:47Tampa's defense they want to come
30:48up with a play but just as big for
30:49the Steelers who want to continue
30:50this possession early second half
30:52Thompson steps up over the middle
30:57as Trey Sermon but well diagnosed by
31:00Tampa Bay and that goes for a short
31:03game KB on Merriweather was there to
31:05make that play and that'll force a
31:07punt situation as the Steelers again
31:08fail on third down nice coverage
31:11by Tampa as they were dropping deep
31:13playing to the change forcing the
31:15underneath throw and you can see
31:16Sermon picking up the catch there
31:18last week had three carries four
31:20catches as well and here he is that
31:24he's going to be able to get as much
31:28as he can and punt situation that's
31:31Tez Johnson that's Cam Johnston who's
31:33involved in and Logan Lee is
31:34snapping again we have to keep an eye
31:35on that he's done a pretty good job
31:36forced him to do because the injury
31:37to Christian Koontz fair catch by
31:39Johnson and a good punt by Cam
31:41Johnston 45 yards he and Corliss
31:43Wakeman involved in this punting
31:45battle and there is Logan Lee getting
31:47it done
31:54you
31:56you
32:00you
32:04you
32:06you
32:08you
32:21you
32:25you
32:27you
32:47you
32:50you
32:52Bob, pretty easy for four current Steelers to stay in the black and gold from Iowa.
32:57The Iowa connection, in terms of Logan Lee, we saw what he's able to do to jump in to be the backup long snapper.
33:03Also, Caleb Johnson, YA Black from this rookie class, and undrafted Sebastian Castro.
33:10Upper St. Clair grad, their head coach, he certainly knows how to churn out some NFL players out of his program.
33:16No question about that.
33:19Quick hitter right now to go to Ryan Miller.
33:21Another good defensive play there by the Steelers.
33:23Again, Porter, who's been active, and Johnson, both those guys.
33:27By the way, Tampa Bay, in the four drives since their second touchdown, have had only two first downs, but four punts.
33:34So the Steelers defense has given them a chance to get back into this game.
33:37Yeah, they're stepping up right there.
33:38You can see Porter right there with a great point of contact right there, not allowing that receiver to push him off of his mark,
33:44allowing that defense to come to make a stop.
33:46Connor Bazelak.
33:49He is from Bowling Green, but he has ties to Pittsburgh.
33:52Both of his sisters have ties to Duquen University.
33:54One has a basketball star and another involved in volleyball.
33:59So interesting ties there, and he's trying to make a name for himself out of Bowling Green here.
34:03For team Jarrett with that reception, close to first down, gain of eight.
34:10But with Teddy Bridgewater around, now you wonder how this is going to all work out.
34:14Oh, yeah, these are critical drives for the Buccaneer quarterback right here.
34:17You only have one more opportunity next week with that last preseason game.
34:21You have to now create that separation, so these reps are very important.
34:26Third and three, and a big one for the Steelers defense.
34:27Like to get it back and give their offense a chance to tie this football game.
34:30It's 14-7, if you just joined us.
34:32Two Teddy Bridgewater touchdown passes.
34:35One by Mason Rudolph to Brandon Johnson, and that's where we are right now.
34:40Base line over the middle.
34:41Has a man.
34:42It's a good reception by Tez Johnson.
34:44There's a penalty flag down, however.
34:46Should be offsides on the defense.
34:47The Buccaneers have declined this one.
34:49Offside, defense number 33, that penalty will be declined.
34:54First down.
34:57That's a 16-yarder.
34:59That's one Jack Sawyer just that close to the ball.
35:03Can't go off the voice inflection of the quarterback half to pay attention to the ball.
35:11As Johnson's made an impression here tonight, no doubt about it, the seventh-round pick.
35:15Looking for an opportunity to join the likes of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Jalen McMillan, who left this game early.
35:23They're looking at him for a concussion possibility.
35:25And this is Bazelan.
35:27And he goes, and just when I speak well of Johnson, he has one off his fingertips, and it falls incomplete.
35:32But that will set up a second down now for Tampa.
35:35And Johnson did a nice job of being patient, setting up Pierre as the play action was going on.
35:40It's going to come from him.
35:41You see this setting him up right there, causes Pierre just to stutter his feet.
35:45Just not able to connect on the pass.
35:47He had some running room, too.
35:48All right, crowd comes to life here now.
35:57A lot of times in these preseason opportunities, a lot of people who don't get to games have a chance to come to these games, and they have a good old time.
36:04And these fans are still here rocking.
36:07So second and ten now, Steelers defense looking to make a play.
36:09Here comes an outside blitz.
36:10And it's a quick hitter, and it's a good tackle there by Castro.
36:15We mentioned him.
36:17That was Garrett Green, the wide receiver, now converted quarterback from out of West Virginia.
36:22And he had a couple of catches last week.
36:23He's just trying to make a career for himself, however he can do it.
36:27Yes, he did.
36:27Steelers brought pressure right there.
36:30You can see Castro being patient, understanding his angle.
36:33And like Missy talked about, played at Iowa, 53 games, 32 starts, 163 tackles.
36:40So this guy knows how to bring ball carriers down.
36:42And Green, last year, West Virginia quarterback, 36 touchdowns, 19 interceptions.
36:47He knows that his path cannot be a quarterback, so he's trying whatever necessary.
36:52Third and five, Steelers trying to get the ball back.
36:54Bazelak is going to go to Johnson, and a good tackle that time once again by Darrell Porter,
37:00who's made his presence felt in the last couple of games.
37:03And the Steelers are going to take advantage of that and get a fun formation.
37:06And that is a tough coverage when you're trying to cover the drag route from the outside in.
37:11Nice job getting low, bringing the ball carrier down.
37:15His dad played former Steeler here, so understanding ball.
37:19This is a football family for the Porter family, so really good tackle right there.
37:23They see Dixon back to punt again.
37:25Keyshawn Williams, who had a touchdown last week in Jacksonville.
37:30Steelers looking for a big play, whether it's on special teams or anywhere else.
37:34They had a couple of big plays in the first half, most of them by Roman Wilson, who had two big catches.
37:43Flag flies on this one.
37:44Fair catch by Williams inside the 10.
37:4646-yard punt right there by Riley Dixon.
37:51We'll see what the call is, but it happened early.
37:54Where was that?
37:55Right by the Gunners.
37:56Could potentially be a hold by the Steelers.
37:58Scott Novak.
38:08Waiting to get the information before he makes this call.
38:13There is no foul for a player legally downfield during the kick.
38:17Timeout.
38:18All right, so we're going to take a break with the Steelers looking to tie this game, trailing 14-7, third quarter, downtown Pittsburgh.
38:27We'll see you next time.
38:57He is unquestionably the leader of this offense.
39:10There's a good run by Caleb Johnson.
39:12Gets an opening, takes advantage, and gets close to first down.
39:15If not close to first down, it depends on where they mark.
39:18It looks like it's very close, but they're not going to give it to him.
39:20Good job by the offensive line right there.
39:26Bob, you could have ran through that hole right there.
39:28No, I couldn't have.
39:30I'll be the first to tell you.
39:31I can talk a lot faster than I can run, Charlie.
39:34That's the way it goes as you get older.
39:36Second and one now.
39:37Caleb Johnson could do that, though, and he took full advantage of that opening.
39:41This time trying to get to the outside.
39:47He's tripped up right there.
39:50And that's John Bullock who came up and made that play.
39:53So Aaron Rodgers comes here, and he had decent numbers last year, even though the Jets went 5-12.
39:59But I'm sure he's going to be stoked for that first game, an opportunity to go right back to the Jets and make a little bit of statement there.
40:05And you know he looks phenomenal in camp.
40:08He really has.
40:08The arm is still there, just trying to work the timing with his receivers.
40:12And that will continue to happen.
40:13And they have a few weeks before that Jets game.
40:15But like you mentioned, Bob, that is one he has circled on the calendar.
40:18He has a lot of records.
40:19One of them is the best all-time single-season passer rating, which was 1-22 for an entire season, which is incredible.
40:26Also, in his prime, he was very good with protecting the footballers.
40:29The Steelers look to get the first down, push it ahead.
40:32Skyler Thompson keeps it and gets it.
40:34For more on Aaron Rodgers, let's go back down to Missy Matthews.
40:39Hey, Missy.
40:40Well, guys, we had some future Hall of Famers hanging out at Acreshurst Stadium on Thursday during the joint practice between the Steelers and Bucs.
40:48Big Ben brought his two sons with him, had a chance to chat with Aaron Rodgers.
40:54We also saw Ben earlier today here at the stadium again when they were unveiling the new exhibit at the Hall of Honor Museum to celebrate Super Bowl XL.
41:0220 years ago, Missy.
41:04Charlie, 20 years ago.
41:05It's already been 20 years.
41:06Unbelievable.
41:07Speaking of 20, here goes Caleb Johnson to the outside.
41:09Turning a corner.
41:10Picking up some good yardage there.
41:12You saw a little bit of that burst that the Steelers really liked when they saw him in action at Iowa.
41:16I know people talk about it.
41:18And we'll look at this replay here as he bounces to the outside here.
41:21But that picture that Missy showed there with Ben and Aaron Rodgers, yes, it's easy to talk about that Super Bowl XLV,
41:27but one of the best games I've ever seen was between those two guys in 2009.
41:31It was Ben's first 500-yard game where he hit Mike Wallace for a touchdown to win that game.
41:37But you talk about a lot of passing yards in that game.
41:40That was a beautiful game to watch.
41:41And Ben still has a record I don't know that you're going to see duplicated back-to-back six touchdown games, 12 in two weeks.
41:47Absolutely.
41:48I mean, that's something that you never see, and we saw it with him.
41:51You may never see it again.
41:51Who knows?
41:52All right, we got Thompson.
41:53He has time.
41:54He's looking down the field.
41:55Has him in!
41:56And it's closed and almost intercepted there.
41:59That was Lance McCutcheon, who had a step, but number 22, Kendall Vendor, came over there
42:06and at the last second closed the gap and made the play.
42:08Vendor, he actually was the back side safety there.
42:11So when Thompson reads this, it's the correct read as he's looking at the safety.
42:16But nice job by the back side corner to come back and break that play up.
42:20He's out of Georgia Southern, a fifth-round pick by the Chicago Bears.
42:24He's been around, though, five different NFL teams back in his day in college at Georgia Southern.
42:30I believe it was a Sun Belt, and he was the player of the year back then.
42:33So he has a lot of ability.
42:35It's just a matter of getting opportunities.
42:36Thompson is 10 of 15, 113 yards, one interception in this game.
42:39Pressure up the middle, and he is going to get absolutely sandwiched, but there is a flag on that play.
42:45And that was John Bullock again, came flying in at the last second.
42:48Things closed very quickly there.
42:50This is going to be a false start by the Steelers.
42:52Legal formation on the offense, number 79.
42:56That penalty will be declined.
42:58Fourth down.
42:59That's Stephen Jones, who's in the game for the Steelers.
43:01Just based off alignment, that receiver on the outside did not cover up the alignment.
43:10Bullock, as Thompson was surveying, didn't have a chance there to get out of the way of there.
43:15So that's a punt situation, and we go back and forth.
43:17Who do you think has the edge so far?
43:19We've seen both Corliss Waitman and Cam Johnston have some pretty good play.
43:22Again, both of these games.
43:23Both of these guys have phenomenal camps.
43:26One is just right foot.
43:28The other one is left foot.
43:29So, the loser of this battle will be on a roster somewhere.
43:33Logan Lee may be on a roster just for that ability, you know, the injury to Christian Koontz.
43:37And he made a nice snap, and this is going to be fumbled and recovered by the Steelers.
43:41A muff punt right there.
43:42A 59-yard kick by Waitman.
43:44Max Hurlman was the guy who came up with it.
43:47Tez Johnson was the guy who hit it off.
43:50He was trying to make a return, didn't do it.
43:51Hurlman on special teams makes a play, and the Steelers are in business and brings this crowd to life.
43:57Johnson is trying to make a play.
43:58When that ball hits the ground, you've got to let it go.
44:00And here he is trying to pick it up.
44:01This ball is coming down.
44:03Unfortunately, you see Castro knocking off the returner.
44:08Steelers able to recover.
44:09Let's see if they can capitalize on this big turnover that happened.
44:13When you talk about field flipping plays, that is one right there.
44:16And that's a young man trying to make a play.
44:17He got a little too aggressive.
44:19Should have just let it bounce because it was a good punt.
44:21But now it's even better knowing that Hurlman recovers it.
