00:07:35He's got the ball in the hole
00:07:35pulled up on the inside nice
00:07:37delivery of the football
00:07:42Robert Tanya had a nice career
00:07:44in Green Bay again that big year
00:07:45that produced eleven touchdowns
00:07:47Aaron Rodgers obviously knows
00:07:49that he has a comfort factor with
00:07:52him pitch to Nichols and he is
00:07:54hit immediately going down nice
00:07:55penetration there by Green Bay's
00:07:57defense and that is Jonathan
00:08:00Ford comes up and makes the
00:08:03stop he was a former seventh
00:08:05round pick
00:08:08Steve forcing the cutback right
00:08:09there he was ready for Nichols
00:08:12as he was approaching the line of
00:08:13scrimmage
00:08:14Roderick Jones has been in there
00:08:15from what you've seen so far I
00:08:17mean he's had a pretty good camp
00:08:18considering where he's come from a
00:08:19long way back
00:08:20yeah and he's been working a lot
00:08:21on the right side here but here he
00:08:23is going back to where he played
00:08:25last year in the left tackle
00:08:26position and that's what you want
00:08:28position flexibility
00:08:29Roderick Jones is showing that
00:08:30ability here today
00:08:31after that tackle for loss by Ford of
00:08:33Green Bay Howard now trying to
00:08:35escape he has wheels but he's
00:08:37going to go down smartly as he
00:08:38gets to about the 29 yard
00:08:41loud six straight completions for
00:08:44Howard on the night four of those
00:08:46have been to Robert Tunyon
00:08:49he's trying to let the football
00:08:50go receiver just wasn't ready for
00:08:52it tucked it down picks up what he
00:08:55can he picks up a yard third and
00:08:57that Brock Hoffman in the game 67
00:08:59is a guy who played in Dallas for
00:09:03Mike McCarthy's another guy that
00:09:04brought over they sent him to a
00:09:05one-year deal he's good insurance
00:09:07policy on that offensive line
00:09:09behind Spencer Anderson who is
00:09:11trying to be that right guard to
00:09:12start the season third and nine
00:09:14Howard now under pressure he
00:09:15throws over his intended
00:09:17receiver into some traffic there
00:09:18and it'll be fourth down Levi
00:09:21Wentz was the intended receiver
00:09:23and the Steelers gonna have to
00:09:24pump the ball away
00:09:26to break their pressure that was
00:09:29coming it wasn't allowing his
00:09:31vision to get down the field and
00:09:33he's just one of those ones he's
00:09:34threw the ball away just don't
00:09:35throw it away in the insat that
00:09:37that's one of the ones that I'm
00:09:38sure they'll talk about if you're
00:09:39going to throw the ball away
00:09:39throw it at the feet and that up
00:09:41in the air
00:09:44all right Steelers in punt
00:09:45formation first possession of the
00:09:48second half results and another
00:09:51stoppage right here we've had a lot
00:09:52of those tonight
00:09:58too many men in formation on the
00:10:01defense five-yard penalty still
00:10:03fourth down
00:10:05all right so fourth and nine
00:10:07becomes fourth and four Steelers
00:10:10still pump the ball away Cameron
00:10:15Johnson second tour of duty here
00:10:17in Pittsburgh suffered an injury
00:10:19Will Shepard is back to receive
00:10:21this punt and he's from Colorado
00:10:23was a draft pick last year it's a
00:10:28nice punt by Johnston flag goes
00:10:30down return his arm he runs into
00:10:34his own man it goes down so Will
00:10:37Shepard had something there but he
00:10:39ran into his own man it goes down
00:10:40and we have flags on the play
00:10:44through that flag played pretty
00:10:46early
00:10:51along the near sidelines here so it
00:10:53had to be some of the
00:10:55engagement from a gunner
00:11:00during the kick illegal block in
00:11:02the back return team number 27
00:11:05ten yards direction after this
00:11:07shot a foul first down time out
00:11:12all right that was Kitan Ola
00:11:14Doppel with the penalty Green Bay
00:11:16has the ball when we come back to
00:11:18Akershur Stadium
00:11:21very good job and like the Steelers
00:11:23were in the first half they have
00:11:24some tough field position Green
00:11:25Bay is deep in their own
00:11:26territory
00:11:29Kyle McCord came in the second
00:11:31quarter gets to the outside that's
00:11:33Drake Dabney
00:11:35now let's go down to Missy Matthews
00:11:38who's standing by with number 30
00:11:39Jalen Warren
00:11:42all right Jalen you didn't get to
00:11:43play tonight but what have you
00:11:44seen from some of the other
00:11:45running backs like Lou Nichols in
00:11:47that touchdown
00:11:48ballplayers playmakers like it's
00:11:51not a surprise to us in the room
00:11:52or to those around him we see that
00:11:54every day and so it wasn't a
00:11:55surprise when we've seen it out
00:11:56here what have you seen in terms
00:11:58of this offensive line Zach
00:12:00Frazier the only guy in the same
00:12:01spot he was in last year some
00:12:03movement but what do you like
00:12:05about that group just the the
00:12:06grid they're willing they're
00:12:08uh they're willing to push
00:12:09together you know we play for
00:12:11each other and so it shows on
00:12:12the field what do you like about
00:12:14what the offense was able to
00:12:15accomplish two different
00:12:16quarterbacks played in the first
00:12:18half you know like you know
00:12:20they both the different
00:12:21quarterbacks but same goal you
00:12:23know they both went out and
00:12:24bought out it was good to see
00:12:26that and excited to see some
00:12:28more is it hard for you to not
00:12:29play tonight yeah I don't know
00:12:31I understand what it is but when
00:12:33I see my boys out there that's
00:12:34the first thing I told I was
00:12:35like I wish I was out there
00:12:36playing with y'all but I
00:12:38understand what all right
00:12:39Jalen thanks so much we
00:12:40appreciate it thank you all
00:12:42right Bob we'll send it back
00:12:43to you thank you Missy and
00:12:44Jalen we look forward to seeing
00:12:45you next week perhaps against
00:12:46the Jets a third down and one
00:12:49there and it looks like close I
00:12:53don't know if they got it or
00:12:54not maybe a little bit short
00:12:59Charlie the Steelers looking at a
00:13:00lot of guys up front we saw
00:13:01Gabriel Rubio coming in the
00:13:03rookie from Notre Dame why a
00:13:05black so what he could do
00:13:06Sebastian Joseph day we haven't
00:13:08seen him probably hope to see
00:13:09it next week but they got some
00:13:11depth on this defensive line
00:13:12they do and they're rolling
00:13:13they have a nice backup unit
00:13:16that they have here but again
00:13:17who's going to separate
00:13:17themselves as it relates to
00:13:19making this roster Brandon
00:13:24Smith has been rolled out of
00:13:25this game by the Steelers he had
00:13:26a couple of nice catches
00:13:27Martinez with the ball carrier
00:13:29there Damian Martinez of
00:13:30Miami of Florida seventh round
00:13:31pick of Seattle you see Drew
00:13:33Aller is warming up there and
00:13:36of course when you look at the
00:13:39Steelers you rather one of a
00:13:41few Penn State guys and he's
00:13:44looking to get in there and do
00:13:45what the first two quarterbacks
00:13:46have done which is move the
00:13:48football and it was on the many
00:13:50points but some good accuracy by
00:13:53both Mason Rudolph as well as
00:13:55Will Howard nice play there by
00:13:57McCourt to get it off and he has
00:13:58a reception by Messiah Swinson he
00:14:02was backpedaling when he got it
00:14:03off Charlie but somehow he put
00:14:04it where he needed to there was
00:14:05pressure coming up every did a
00:14:07nice job of reading it put his
00:14:10hands up at a better job better
00:14:11QB play right there getting
00:14:13finding a window to be able to
00:14:14deliver that football that's
00:14:15what you have to do when there's
00:14:17a defender that's running towards
00:14:18you Dale and Everett out of
00:14:20Georgia it's been all years that's
00:14:23unusual these days doesn't it
00:14:24transfer portal to say all four
00:14:26years at Georgia but he was
00:14:27really good and he became a third
00:14:28round pick of the Steelers this
00:14:30year first and ten new set of
00:14:31downs McCord play action deep
00:14:34drop looking down the field going
00:14:36into coverage there and it's
00:14:38going to be incomplete again
00:14:41it was Michael Studebond who tried
00:14:43to beat him one on one but the
00:14:46ball seemed to go inside when he
00:14:47was trying to go outside that
00:14:48was it Everett forced him the
00:14:50receiver where he wanted him to
00:14:52go because he had a lot of grass
00:14:53to run across the field that
00:14:55wasn't the design of the play
00:14:56Everett cut it off forced the
00:14:58air throw all right so it's
00:15:01another second down and ten for
00:15:02Green Bay Kyle McCord record
00:15:08center out of Syracuse after two
00:15:10years at Ohio State sixth round
00:15:12pick originally with the
00:15:13Philadelphia Eagles in the
00:15:18shotgun he was up the middle with
00:15:22pressure he gets it off quickly
00:15:23and gets the first down on a nice
00:15:26play right there by Isaiah Nair
00:15:29we have a penalty flag on the play
00:15:31as well Everett was there on the
00:15:32play looks like this was going to
00:15:36be on the defense was it on the
00:15:40quarterback perhaps a hit I didn't
00:15:45see that part of it personal
00:15:46foul roughing the passer defense
00:15:49number 72 15-yard penalty added to
00:15:51the end of the run automatic
00:15:53first down that was Anthony Goodloe for
00:15:58the Steelers team in when you just
00:16:01can't have right there taking him to
00:16:03to the ground a referee official
00:16:05center right there he's going to
00:16:06call it every time I know what he's
00:16:08attempting to do by not putting his
00:16:10weight on the quarterback but from
00:16:13that angle I don't like that call
00:16:15that's just me I mean he was coming
00:16:18full board get after him and that's
00:16:20a tough play right there you're one
00:16:22step away from it as the quarterback
00:16:24is releasing the football but yet you
00:16:25have to put a pillow essentially down
00:16:27to lay the quarterback down hard to do
00:16:30first and ten new set of downs after
00:16:31that penalty on the Steelers yet
00:16:33another one nice running inside
00:16:36right there it seems like an injured
00:16:40injured player from Green Bay it was
00:16:43Jason Nixon the ball story and we
00:16:45have a timeout because of that injury
00:16:50that's Darian Kennard who is down
00:16:53getting attendance right now we'll
00:16:57find out how he does we'll come back
00:16:58with more seven six Steelers lead
00:17:00third quarter
00:17:03I've been facing Green Bay they
00:17:05trail seven to six Steelers have
00:17:07the lead the crowd comes to life they
00:17:09want to see a big defensive play
00:17:12Kyle McCord under center this time
00:17:22and off it's not going to be for much
00:17:24right there it's Damian Martinez
00:17:28nice play defensively for the Steelers
00:17:30and we welcome into the booth you
00:17:32know him you love and Merrill Hodge
00:17:35longtime Steeler was a tenth round
00:17:38draft pick Merrill I don't even have
00:17:40ten rounds I know you the road you
00:17:42travel to get to where you are how
00:17:44lucky was I and kind of kind of this
00:17:46lucky to be two between two legends
00:17:48right now and I know how hard it is
00:17:50to bring a guest in when you're doing
00:17:51the dang game too so by the way just
00:17:53keep up the game obviously right here
00:17:55brother we definitely do third and
00:17:57six well we want to hear what you
00:17:59have to say because I know you bring
00:18:00it Green Bay has four first downs on
00:18:02personal fouls tonight so Steelers
00:18:05facing third and six trying to get
00:18:06right off the field here McCord slings
00:18:08it nice catch there and it's going to
00:18:10be first down yardage and that goes
00:18:11to Michael Stewart event
00:18:17nice presence there he waited for his
00:18:19opportunity and slung it in the coverage
00:18:21yes he did dropping out playing
00:18:23coverage here is able to find a
00:18:24second window on the in route you
00:18:27talk about when you rush to and drop
00:18:28nine there's not a lot of windows
00:18:30they use that one that one was like
00:18:32they just opened the window by a
00:18:34crack that was a great throw it
00:18:37really was put it right where he had
00:18:38to and McCord can do that he's very
00:18:40talented we saw that at Syracuse
00:18:42after that it was incredible yeah
00:18:43Pitt had his number here though when
00:18:45they played first and ten handoff
00:18:47again it's Martinez and not much
00:18:49doing so preseason Merrill is a lot
00:18:53different than when you played of
00:18:54course I go back to when they had six
00:18:55preseason games I can't even believe
00:18:57that was real well yeah 44 years
00:18:59that would put you back there I'm
00:19:01revealing too much yeah but what's
00:19:04it like now versus you know what it
00:19:06was when you play well when you said
00:19:07that okay we had 24 practices before
00:19:09our first game they had 11 but the
00:19:11one thing I could tell you that I've
00:19:12been impressive there's no life
00:19:14there's nothing live but the tackling
00:19:16I think has been spectacular from
00:19:18the defensive perspective on the
00:19:19Steelers side our second and I
00:19:23once again handoff up the middle
00:19:24goes for about four or five that
00:19:27was the 12th play of this drive
00:19:28started at their own seven you might
00:19:30remember and so far six minutes
00:19:31Charlie off the clock it really is and
00:19:34you can see the defense been that
00:19:36break mentality right now but back
00:19:38to you Merrill I know one of the
00:19:39relationships that you see you've
00:19:40been around football a long time the
00:19:42quarterback head coach
00:19:43relationship that has to be strong
00:19:45what are you seeing how that is
00:19:47developing as you're watching
00:19:49training camp I think one of the
00:19:50most powerful aspects of
00:19:51leadership and coaches are leaders
00:19:53is modeling and to be able to see
00:19:54two guys that are modeling what
00:19:56they're talking about the staff doing
00:19:58the same thing these these players
00:20:00have adapted and adjusted quickly
00:20:02to new systems new routines it's
00:20:05been impressive to watch there
00:20:06comes the pressure up the middle
00:20:07this time a court has a lot of
00:20:10pressure in his face and he can't
00:20:11get it off Steelers come after him
00:20:12and they make the play on third and
00:20:15five I'll tell you this you know
00:20:16everybody wants the offense has a
00:20:18lot of storylines I get it but I'm
00:20:20to this defense has been impressive
00:20:23with the pressures they've brought
00:20:25things they've changed personnel
00:20:26they've had in the box to be you
00:20:29know to make the Packers second
00:20:31guess things the way they've kept
00:20:34things in front tackle not big runs
00:20:36after catches no big run it's been
00:20:40impressive how they've done
00:20:41defensively I just I think that's
00:20:43probably one of the most exciting
00:20:43things to this point of this this
00:20:46game for the Steelers perspective
00:20:47so that play led to this field goal
00:20:50Steelers stopped them and that means
00:20:51Trey smack is on and he converts
00:20:53from 38 yards he has one from 37
00:20:56one from 58 and now 38 and he's
00:20:59accounted for all the points 9 7
00:21:01Green Bay has the lead late third
00:21:03quarter back in April during the
00:21:05draft absolutely and they already
00:21:07gave him a nickname the Swiss Navy
00:21:09knife not Army Navy he could do it
00:21:13all he actually had more receiving
00:21:14yards and running yard he could do
00:21:15a lot of different things versatility
00:21:17Mike McCarthy says it's very
00:21:18important this one is going to be
00:21:20Luigi region on the return of Trey
00:21:22smack region has been hammered up a
00:21:25few times here tonight and once
00:21:27again they're not much on the
00:21:28returns to get about the 20 yard
00:21:29line 21 yards on that return and
00:21:32that's where Drew Aller and company
00:21:34will go to work Caleb Johnson's also
00:21:40in the game we haven't seen him
00:21:42until now Max Hurleman also number 84
00:21:48in the game nice ovation better
00:21:51crowd Charlie what does it feel like
00:21:52to make your first start in this
00:21:54position you're smiling but yet you're
00:21:55nervous right now just get this snap
00:21:58and execute your first play I
00:22:00remember man I dropped the snap all
00:22:03right Haller under center handoff to
00:22:10Caleb Johnson just a couple of
00:22:11yards there in his first carry of
00:22:12the night the Steelers drives have
00:22:14started at their own 18 their own
00:22:1515 twice at their own 20 and 13 so
00:22:19they haven't had many good
00:22:20operating times with this with this
00:22:22drive chart drew Aller who went in
00:22:27the third round this year Mike
00:22:28McCarthy's first pick as a quarterback
00:22:3261 career touchdowns 13
00:22:33interceptions there of course he
00:22:35injured himself had ankle injury
00:22:37against Northwestern and that did
00:22:39his season in so there are a lot of
00:22:40people wonder where he was going
00:22:42to get drafted certainly as the
00:22:43arm you see that at training camp
00:22:45he can zing it there's no doubt
00:22:47about that all right second and
00:22:49eight Riley and Olkowski in the
00:22:51game handoff once again the
00:22:53Johnson boy Green Bay doing a good
00:22:55job up front.
00:22:58Not much there.
00:23:00Christian Welch was one of the guys
00:23:01out of Iowa undrafted.
00:23:04What about these running backs
00:23:06Merrill that's what you played.
00:23:08We haven't seen of course Warren
00:23:09and Dowell you know about them
00:23:10and Caleb Johnson last year didn't
00:23:13have a very good year.
00:23:14You know that that fumbled kickoff
00:23:16that he had that that bundle
00:23:17there you know confidence that he
00:23:19he lacked or lost you're trying to
00:23:22reestablish that or something they're
00:23:23trying to do in preseason.
00:23:25So you know drives like this every
00:23:27time he touches the ball or time
00:23:28he's got to block he's he's got to
00:23:30build his confidence on it.
00:23:31Allerz.
00:23:32Zings it over the middle has
00:23:33there you go.
00:23:34Weijin is going to turn on the
00:23:35speed.
00:23:36Hayden Weijin is on his way.
00:23:37Will he get caught?
00:23:38turns it on extra.
00:23:4010-5 down to the two yard line.
00:23:43A quick slant pattern.
00:23:45Shamar Bartholomew finally got to
00:23:47him but Weijin turned on the Jets
00:23:4975 yards.
00:23:52And that and that is what you want.
00:23:55You have an injury on the backside
00:23:57here does a nice job of working
00:23:59knowing he's coming back inside.
00:24:00You hit him on a slam route makes
00:24:02the safety miss and here he is.
00:24:05Even tripped up a bit there but he
00:24:07kept it going.
00:24:07He did.
00:24:08He known for speed.
00:24:09He's 4-4-7.
00:24:11Unfortunately wasn't able to put it
00:24:12on stumble just a little bit too
00:24:14much as he was coming out of it
00:24:16right there.
00:24:16I think that stumble prevented him
00:24:18from scoring this touchdown here.
00:24:20You know the talk about him is
00:24:22he's obviously going to impact
00:24:23the kickoff return the punt return
00:24:25but also these match-ups you know
00:24:27this league's about match-ups.
00:24:29You can play in the slot.
00:24:30You can play out of the backfield.
00:24:32You're going to incorporate this
00:24:33kid in ways that you can find
00:24:35match-ups for him on third down
00:24:36and everybody hasn't played a lot.
00:24:38I will tell you this.
00:24:39You would never know it.
00:24:40He looks comfortable in the slot.
00:24:41He looks comfortable in the backfield
00:24:43and because he's so quick in and
00:24:45out of the brigs and catches the ball naturally.
00:24:48You know you mentioned Charlie's speed.
00:24:50Can't teach that.
00:24:51And he's going to bring a lot
00:24:53of different options to this offense.
00:24:56You know not just the kickoff returns.
00:24:58He's going to add to the to the offense
00:25:00especially on third down.
00:25:01Anthony Campbell's being tended to
00:25:03defensive end for Green Bay.
00:25:05We'll come back.
00:25:06Timeout is called.
00:25:079-7 Steelers trail for now.
00:25:16And split to the right.
00:25:18Riley Nowakowski in the game.
00:25:21Caleb Johnson behind Aller who rolls to his right.
00:25:26Finds his man.
00:25:27And it looked like Nowakowski could have had that one.
00:25:29He's normally a sure-handed guy.
00:25:31Played on an Indiana National Championship team.
00:25:34Looked to be there Charlie.
00:25:35Yeah Drew Aller he had him.
00:25:37Right where he won it.
00:25:38Just rushed it a tad bit.
00:25:39He got out to the outside.
00:25:41Got more time than what you realize at that particular point.
00:25:44Set your feet.
00:25:46Give him a better ball.
00:25:47That's one note to talk about for sure on the sideline.
00:25:50Still they say you get your hands on it.
00:25:52You got to make the catch right.
00:25:52In our meeting we're like hey catch the ball.
00:25:56And then we go yeah quarterback could have been throwing that better.
00:25:59But we should still got catch.
00:26:02Only the fourth incompletion of the night.
00:26:03This time Aller's going to keep it himself.
00:26:05And he rolls into the end zone.
00:26:07Drew Aller with his first Steelers touchdown.
00:26:11And the Steelers have retaken the lead.
00:26:1313 to 9.
00:26:14Pending the extra point.
00:26:16Nice play call there by Mike McCarthy.
00:26:18Yes it was.
00:26:18And that's one of those ones where McCarthy.
00:26:20He's going to be aggressive any point on the field.
00:26:22And right there he allowed Drew Aller to read that defensive end.
00:26:26Or defensive end.
00:26:27He collapses on the football.
00:26:28Aller pulls it.
00:26:29Tucks it away for the touchdown.
00:26:32Kristen Welch was trying to get him.
00:26:35But he couldn't come down with him.
00:26:36As Aller uses big body to lunge into the end zone.
00:26:39So that's five plays 80 yards.
00:26:412-0-3.
00:26:42The big one 74 yards.
00:26:43Leith Marjon is now in to attempt the extra point for the Steelers.
00:26:48He's a rookie.
00:26:48And he also knows he has probably no shot to make this team.
00:26:51But he's going to put tape out there.
00:26:53And that's the extra point which is good.
00:26:54So his first opportunity with the Steelers is an extra point.
00:26:5814-9 with 2.25 left in this third quarter.
00:27:03What a drive by Drew Aller.
00:27:05First one.
00:27:08Now it's time for a word from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:27:14Welcome to Pittsburgh.
00:27:16Game day.
00:27:18A shared experience between all of us.
00:27:21Another turnover.
00:27:22Shared by those who make history.
00:27:25EJ Watt strips that.
00:27:27And those who witness it.
00:27:30And those who witness it.
00:27:31The final touchdown.
00:27:33Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:27:35And it's gone.
00:27:36Be there for every moment.
00:27:39Physicality on full display.
00:27:44All right there.
00:27:45Smiles on his face.
00:27:46That's Drew Aller.
00:27:47Nice drive.
00:27:48And he made quick work of it.
00:27:49Due to the 74-yard reception.
00:27:52To Weijin.
00:27:53And now it's time to take a look at our Kia scoring drive.
00:27:57It was very quick as I said.
00:28:00Five plays.
00:28:0180 yards.
00:28:02Only two minutes and three seconds.
00:28:03Aller gets the three-yard run.
00:28:05All brought to you by Kia.
00:28:09Jaden Nixon is back deep.
00:28:11Along with Michael Sturdivant.
00:28:12For Green Bay.
00:28:16They will try to go back on offense.
00:28:18Kyle McCord has been there.
00:28:20They also have another quarterback named Kyron Drones.
00:28:23Whether or not he gets into this game.
00:28:25We will see.
00:28:27Marge on with a kick.
00:28:29And it's taken a five-yard line.
00:28:31In the landing zone.
00:28:36Dynamic kickoff.
00:28:37Sturdivant gets to the outside.
00:28:39Not much there.
00:28:40That's where they're going to go to work.
00:28:42Let's take a look at the last drive.
00:28:43Brought to you by NJM Insurance.
00:28:45It's Aller.
00:28:46And this is the play Charlie and Merrill.
00:28:47Right down the middle.
00:28:48When you slant with speed.
00:28:49You're in business.
00:28:50That's it.
00:28:50Drew knew exactly where he was going to go with the football.
00:28:53Wheaton.
00:28:53You can see him just be patient.
00:28:54Knowing he was breaking back on the inside.
00:28:56Beautiful pitch.
00:28:57Pitch and catch.
00:28:58Making a safety miss.
00:28:59Getting him inside the five-yard line.
00:29:01And here you have Drew Aller for the score.
00:29:04Merrill, do you ever run that fast?
00:29:06Yeah.
00:29:07I was on a treadmill.
00:29:09Yeah.
00:29:09I do remember your 160.
00:29:10Wait a minute.
00:29:11They're dragging me behind a bumper of a car.
00:29:13You had a heck of a playoff game in Denver.
00:29:15One of the best in Steeler history.
00:29:17That's a completion there to Messiah Swinson.
00:29:20I should have had region speed because I could have scored a lot of touchdowns in that game that I
00:29:24didn't.
00:29:24What are your memories about that game?
00:29:26We should have won.
00:29:28That's my only memory.
00:29:30And how important turnovers are at this level.
00:29:33You know, you just can't have turnovers and win in this league.
00:29:36We just had one too many.
00:29:39Two minutes left here in the third quarter.
00:29:41Steelers have the lead of 14 to 9.
00:29:43Luke Nichols with a touchdown in the first half.
00:29:46Drew Aller on a keeper as he lunged into the end zone to cap that drive of 80 yards.
00:29:52There's Kyle McCord firing.
00:29:54And he makes the reception on the outside.
00:29:56Does stir that.
00:29:58Let's go back in time, Merrill.
00:30:00We knew you were going to be here, so we wanted to go back and show.
00:30:03Those shoulder pads, by the way, are humongous.
00:30:05They don't sell those anymore, right?
00:30:07They don't use those.
00:30:08You know, I actually saw this highlight.
00:30:10That clip right there reminds me of Joe Green.
00:30:14That Kansas City highlight right there.
00:30:16Every time I see that play, it reminds me of Joe Green.
00:30:20You guys, you were close.
00:30:23Could have won that game.
00:30:24He's our defensive line coach at that time.
00:30:26And he was, what a mentor he was.
00:30:29McCord rolling left.
00:30:31Being pursued.
00:30:34It's across the 45, run out of bounds there.
00:30:37Anthony Goodloe of the Steelers.
00:30:38You know, I know this offense is going to get a lot of talks.
00:30:41Quarterbacks have played so well.
00:30:42Play calling's been awesome.
00:30:44There's been a lot of good things.
00:30:46But I'm saying, this defense, from the back end, the pressure they've gotten,
00:30:50how well they have done.
00:30:52I'm talking about passing game, you know, timing and spacing is so important.
00:30:55When you play zone coverage, spacing is important.
00:30:58You know, how you execute in your area.
00:31:01Man, they've been outstanding.
00:31:03When there was a tackle to be made, they've made it.
00:31:06I've just been so impressed with what they've done.
00:31:08No matter who's been on the defensive side of the ball.
00:31:12And they just brought in a Landon Roberts who played here a couple of years ago.
00:31:15Went to Vegas.
00:31:16Was with Patrick Graham.
00:31:17And now he'll be in uniform likely next week.
00:31:19Here's McCord.
00:31:20Under pressure.
00:31:20And here comes the backside pursuit.
00:31:22And that's going to be a sack.
00:31:24And a good play right there by Amari Harvin.
00:31:30Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:31We got the . . .
00:31:32That's Israel Mokamu.
00:31:34Just brought in this week, by the way.
00:31:36And he had nowhere to go with the ball.
00:31:38He didn't have time.
00:31:39You know, anywhere to go with the ball.
00:31:40That's just complete defense right there.
00:31:42That's pressure, coverage.
00:31:44And he's timing.
00:31:45Everything.
00:31:46And he's played a lot of ball.
00:31:4751 games in his career.
00:31:49So he knows how to get after the quarterback.
00:31:51And that's why Mike McCarthy brought him over.
00:31:55Mokamu was a sixth round pick by Dallas back then.
00:31:59All right, Merrill.
00:32:00Thank you very much.
00:32:00We appreciate it.
00:32:01We've got to go to break.
00:32:0214-9.
00:32:03Love his lead.
00:32:04After. . .
00:32:05Very much at ease, Charlie.
00:32:07That's the thing about him.
00:32:07I think he really likes it here.
00:32:09Those guys love him having around.
00:32:11I think he loves his role.
00:32:12He wants to go out in style.
00:32:13And hopefully that includes some playoff wins.
00:32:15Yeah, absolutely.
00:32:15And there's been a lot of Steelers fans who watch and follow Aaron Rodgers throughout.
00:32:21I know Toby.
00:32:22I know he's listening.
00:32:23A young fan that is listening right now.
00:32:26Missy Matthews is standing by with Cam Hayward right now.
00:32:29Missy, take it away.
00:32:31Cam, take me through how you just feel like the defense has been playing tonight.
00:32:35You know, we haven't surrendered a touchdown really good.
00:32:39You know, I think our attack will be a little bit better.
00:32:41But, overall, I think we're playing pretty good.
00:32:43Getting off the field.
00:32:44Big sack at the end of the quarter.
00:32:45But, you know, fourth quarter, we've got to take over.
00:32:48Landon Roberts back with the Steelers.
00:32:50What's it like reuniting with him?
00:32:52Well, you know, E-Rob, we've been accustomed to how he plays.
00:32:55He plays downhill.
00:32:57He's one of those old-school 9-on-7 linebackers.
00:33:00But, you know, PG has a good relationship with him as well.
00:33:03So, hopefully add to our group.
00:33:05Your little twins, Derek Harmon and YA Black is what you called them.
00:33:09What have you seen from those guys through training camp and even tonight?
00:33:12I just think their level of ability to just lock in and just look at the details
00:33:20of where they were from last year to this year, it's exponentially better.
00:33:24You know, I watch how Derek asks questions.
00:33:27He's intentional about his questions.
00:33:29And then he applies it to his practice.
00:33:30And then in the game, you see him dominate.
00:33:33Lastly, you were out there when he got the Joe Green Great Performance Award
00:33:36for Rookie of the Year.
00:33:37What did it mean just to be there for him for that moment,
00:33:40knowing what he went through last season?
00:33:41It's not about what he went through last season.
00:33:43I just think, you know, I always want to be in that guy's corner.
00:33:47Even when I'm retired, I want to be in that guy's corner.
00:33:49That's for everybody on this field.
00:33:51You know, I kind of don't understand when our guys are receiving award,
00:33:57we have to go to the locker room.
00:33:58I know it's preseason.
00:33:59We got to do stuff.
00:34:00But it's about supporting those guys and making sure we always have their back
00:34:03in those great moments.
00:34:04All right, Cam.
00:34:05Thanks so much.
00:34:06Paul, we'll send it back to you.
00:34:07All right.
00:34:08Thank you very much, Missy and Cam.
00:34:09And the Steelers, once again, still have not started past their own 20-yard line.
00:34:14Eli Heidenreich of Mount Lebanon and the Naval Academy in the game.
00:34:17We have actually two WPIO guys out there now.
00:34:20When you look at Levi Wentz who went to Pine Richland and then Kansas.
00:34:25And Heidenreich is living a dream right now, you know.
00:34:29Charlie's had a lot happen to him.
00:34:30I know his parents are here.
00:34:33Dave and Tara.
00:34:33We're confirming the proper enforcement spot.
00:34:35First down.
00:34:36First down.
00:34:37And that's what you see.
00:34:38A lot of the WPIO guys.
00:34:39And that was highlighted in the football town that was featured in February
00:34:44where it highlights a lot of the players from the Western Pennsylvania area.
00:34:49Over 700 players have been drafted here.
00:34:51It is impressive.
00:34:53All right.
00:34:54Drew Aller pumps it.
00:34:56And that's a reception.
00:34:58And some yak yardage right there.
00:35:00Max Hurleman turns away from the potential tackler.
00:35:05And he gets 17 yards as a result.
00:35:11You can see him right in a hurry.
00:35:13He's able to get turned up the field right away.
00:35:15Things that they practice on.
00:35:16Don't run out of bounds.
00:35:17Turn up.
00:35:18Get north and south.
00:35:19He was able to do so on those yak yardage.
00:35:22He spent 20-25 on the practice squad.
00:35:24He's trying to make it an impact here to impress Coach McCarthy.
00:35:29You saw last year in the preseason he had a touchdown in one of the games we did.
00:35:32So he like Lou Nichols has made them aware that he would love to have an opportunity in this game.
00:35:41Play action for Aller.
00:35:43Deep drop.
00:35:44Floats it out to his intended receiver.
00:35:45Good coverage.
00:35:46Are they going to call pass interference?
00:35:47They are.
00:35:48That was intended for Levi Wentz.
00:35:57Should be a pass interference here.
00:36:01Pass interference.
00:36:03Defense for 20.
00:36:04Spot foul.
00:36:05First down.
00:36:07That's Damani Jackson.
00:36:09Correction.
00:36:0928.
00:36:10One of the things here is you're watching the route here as he delivers the ball.
00:36:13But Drew Aller did a nice job of backpedaling.
00:36:15Buying himself some time.
00:36:17Putting the ball up and over.
00:36:18If he misses he's going to miss outside.
00:36:20You can see Wentz one hand on it.
00:36:22But they were able to get the penalty.
00:36:23That was actually MJ Devonshire.
00:36:25They originally said it's on 20.
00:36:26It's on 28.
00:36:27He's another WPIL guy from Aliquippa, Pennsylvania.
00:36:30Of course with Pitt.
00:36:31Seventh round pick of Vegas back in 2024.
00:36:35So a lot of WPIL people here.
00:36:38And that's Heidenreich as he tries to get a couple of extra yards.
00:36:41Eli Heidenreich.
00:36:46A lot of Steeler fans are watching Eli Heidenreich for the very first time tonight.
00:36:52But people of Mount Lebanon certainly familiar with him.
00:36:54His senior year at Lebo he hauled in an amazing 28 touchdowns on just 54 catches Charlie.
00:37:01Leading the Blue Devils to both the WPIL and state championships.
00:37:04And they played those games at Norman back then.
00:37:07So I don't know if he ever got a chance to play here.
00:37:09But now what a way to do it.
00:37:10Absolutely.
00:37:12He's looking to continue to impress.
00:37:14He's been doing so in training camp.
00:37:16Aller now.
00:37:17Over the middle on a slant pattern.
00:37:19And that's another reception.
00:37:21This time it's Levi Wentz from Kansas.
00:37:23Pine Richland product.
00:37:25First down.
00:37:26You see Wentz right there realizing there's a defender that's running scot-free.
00:37:31Understands where the throwing lane is.
00:37:33Able to get open.
00:37:34You'll see 54 right there.
00:37:35Aller knows I have to get rid of the football.
00:37:38Leave Al was right there.
00:37:39Understanding that's what you need from a communication perspective.
00:37:42Kristen Welch defensively has been very good tonight.
00:37:44He's putting a lot of pressure on.
00:37:45Hasn't come away with any numbers.
00:37:47Aller right now three of four for 100 yards.
00:37:50Another first and ten for the Steelers.
00:37:53Aller sings it.
00:37:54Another reception.
00:37:55Hurlman.
00:37:55The slam patterns have come out big for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:37:59And he put it right on the money there.
00:38:02Another Steelers first down.
00:38:05And this is where you see right now.
00:38:07Drew Aller wants to press the temple.
00:38:09He realizes he has the defense right where he wants them.
00:38:11Another slant route in the middle of the field.
00:38:13Big gain as they now are approaching the red zone.
00:38:18Allers look very confident so far.
00:38:21So is Hurlman now.
00:38:23Two catches 38 yards.
00:38:24He's not afraid to go over the middle either.
00:38:26And that's where a lot of the yardage comes from.
00:38:28You get those yak yards.
00:38:30We haven't seen that much of it over the last several years.
00:38:33Most sideline kind of plays.
00:38:34But Mike McCarthy's calling these plays.
00:38:36And he's done a pretty good job so far.
00:38:37Now he's going to float one in the corner of the five yard line.
00:38:40But it goes incomplete.
00:38:41Good coverage that time as Hurlman really had nowhere to go.
00:38:45And that was Shamar Bartholomew in coverage for Green Bay.
00:38:50Nice coverage by Bartholomew.
00:38:52And I think when you look back just on the right hash there.
00:38:55That very tough throw.
00:38:56You had to be accurate there.
00:38:57Only because you're throwing into the short side of the field right there.
00:39:01Nice play defensively.
00:39:04All right.
00:39:04So it's second attempt for Drew Aller.
00:39:07Shotgun.
00:39:07Quick hitter.
00:39:09Pass this man.
00:39:10That's Blake McCree.
00:39:12Went to USC.
00:39:17And seven career touchdowns while playing out there.
00:39:20Kind of shorthanded tight end.
00:39:21They like your shorthanded.
00:39:23Big target too.
00:39:24It's six foot four.
00:39:25Two forty three.
00:39:26That's what you want right there.
00:39:28He played.
00:39:28Played a lot.
00:39:29Played fifty one games.
00:39:30At USC.
00:39:31Ninety seven touchdowns.
00:39:33Eleven hundred yards.
00:39:37Steelers continue to move the ball now again.
00:39:40Just remember what I said earlier.
00:39:41They have not had ideal field position.
00:39:42All night long.
00:39:44A couple of long drives.
00:39:45One resulted in no points.
00:39:46And then two more did.
00:39:48And there's a good strike again.
00:39:49It's Hurlman who's hit immediately on that play.
00:39:52By Trey Dean.
00:39:55But it's good enough.
00:39:56To move the chains.
00:40:01You had the personnel group on defensively on the field.
00:40:04This is where you're taking advantage from a matchups perspective.
00:40:07Allen now looking left.
00:40:09Doesn't like what he sees there.
00:40:11Sideline throw.
00:40:12It's about six yards right there.
00:40:14And again it's Lake McCree.
00:40:20Sixth round.
00:40:21Or undrafted back in twenty twenty six this year.
00:40:25A lot of people thought he'd go in the sixth or seventh round.
00:40:27He didn't.
00:40:30I think a lot of that was a little medical there.
00:40:33He did tear his ACL twice.
00:40:35Twice.
00:40:35Yep.
00:40:36But can he get back and help you?
00:40:37Everything that we've seen up until this point looks like he's overcome those injuries.
00:40:41I'll tell you Broderick Jones has had a big night of work force material.
00:40:45He's been in there quite a lot.
00:40:48Heidenreich up the middle.
00:40:49Not much there.
00:40:52How do you think he's done so far?
00:40:54I think they're trying to get as much information coming back from that injury.
00:40:57And so far give him a lot of credit man.
00:40:59It's a long way back.
00:41:01And that's what you want.
00:41:02You want to continue to play regardless of what quarter you're playing.
00:41:05If you're on the field you want to try to continue to impress.
00:41:08And that's something that you're seeing out here on the field by everyone.
00:41:11And I think when you look at Haddonrod, he wants to now be that Swiss Navy knife.
00:41:16Let's see if they can get a matchup that they want here and get him in the end zone.
00:41:19Third and three.
00:41:21Aller.
00:41:23In the shotgun.
00:41:26Trips to the left.
00:41:27Under pressure.
00:41:28Steps back.
00:41:30Goes into the end zone.
00:41:32And it was not going to work as Weijin was the intended receiver.
00:41:35Perry in coverage.
00:41:36Good coverage by Green Bay on that play.
00:41:38And there were not many options available to him.
00:41:42Another flag comes in too.
00:41:44There should be a hold on the defense.
00:41:46Holding.
00:41:47Defense.
00:41:48Number 34.
00:41:49Five yard penalty.
00:41:50All right.
00:41:53That's a good break for the Steelers.
00:41:54Bartholomew was the man who made that infraction.
00:41:58You can see Aller.
00:41:59He was looking to go right.
00:42:01Trying to figure out if he can catch Eli in the flat.
00:42:04Wasn't there.
00:42:05But you can see 30.
00:42:06You can see Bartholomew.
00:42:07He was complaining because he had his hands on the receiver.
00:42:10Didn't let him go in time.
00:42:11He had his hands on the defensive line.
00:42:11He had his hands on the defensive line.
00:42:12Referee.
00:42:13Through that flag.
00:42:16So the Steelers had a lot of penalties to start this game.
00:42:18Green Bay has made their share here.
00:42:20Lately.
00:42:21Especially in that second half.
00:42:23Eight fifty five left.
00:42:25Three Green Bay field goals.
00:42:26By Trey Smack.
00:42:28Steelers have cut touchdowns by Lou Nichols.
00:42:30And Drew Aller.
00:42:31And they're trying to add another one.
00:42:34Aller again.
00:42:35Rolling left.
00:42:36Finds it.
00:42:37And it's a touchdown.
00:42:39For Regan.
00:42:41Caden Regan gets into the end zone.
00:42:43He almost did earlier in the 74 yarder.
00:42:46This time he does another good pass.
00:42:48By Drew Aller who's rolling left.
00:42:50Put it right on the money.
00:42:51That's one right there.
00:42:52Typically you see quarterbacks rolling to the right here.
00:42:54They're caught Green Bay off guard.
00:42:55When you're sprinting out to the left.
00:42:57Creating the matchup.
00:42:58Allowing for an easy touchdown.
00:43:01Ten plays.
00:43:02Eighty nine yards.
00:43:03Five twenty one.
00:43:03And again a long drive for the Steelers.
00:43:06All the points they have resulting in touchdowns.
00:43:08No field goals tonight.
00:43:09And Mike McCarthy has to like that.
00:43:13That's exactly how you draw it up.
00:43:15A natural pick.
00:43:16By your receivers.
00:43:18Allow Weijan to get into the end zone.
00:43:21And the extra point is up.
00:43:23Marjan puts it through.
00:43:24So it's twenty one to nine.
00:43:26With eight fifty one left in this game.
00:43:28And Caden Weijan is having quite a night.
00:43:31Fourth round pick.
00:43:32And a man who did a lot in college in the return game.
00:43:35He got in the end zone in his first pro game.
00:43:38We'll be back with more.
00:43:39When the Steelers in control of this football game.
00:43:41This took five minutes.
00:43:42Twenty one seconds.
00:43:43Five yard touchdown pass at that point.
00:43:46Late Marjan is about to kick off here.
00:43:48But man Drew Eller has been spot on.
00:43:50All three quarterbacks tonight have done a very good job.
00:43:53They all have been efficient.
00:43:55And when you look back just off that quarterback play.
00:43:57Wanting to get in and out of the huddle.
00:43:59Get to the line of scrimmage.
00:44:00Get to the right play.
00:44:01All quarterbacks have done that.
00:44:02And you see Drew Eller.
00:44:04Was able to wrap.
00:44:06A bow on that drive with a touchdown pass.
00:44:09All right.
00:44:10Jaden Nixon has it across the 20-25.
00:44:12He's wrapped up across the 31.
00:44:14Another flag comes down.
00:44:18We'll see what that is.
00:44:23We've seen a lot of flags.
00:44:24But that's become typical for preseason games.
00:44:26Especially the first one.
00:44:27From what I've seen over the years.
00:44:28Yes it is.
00:44:29And a lot on special teams.
00:44:31Holding.
00:44:32Return team.
00:44:32Number 80.
00:44:33Ten yard penalty.
00:44:34First down.
00:44:36All right.
00:44:37Let's take a look at Drew Eller's night here.
00:44:39And again he's been on par.
00:44:41That last drive.
00:44:41He was seven for eight.
00:44:42Sixty nine yards.
00:44:43And a touchdown.
00:44:44All smiles.
00:44:45And there is the big play.
00:44:47For Caden Weijin.
00:44:48Seventy four yards.
00:44:50Slant play.
00:44:50And then he turned on the Jets.
00:44:51And that one set up.
00:44:53Drew Eller himself.
00:44:54Lunging.
00:44:54And then a nice play over the middle of Hurlman.
00:44:57Again.
00:44:58Using the middle of the field.
00:44:59And Weijin caps it off.
00:45:00That is your.
00:45:02M.J.M.
00:45:03Insurance game recap.
00:45:04For now.
00:45:05No jingles.
00:45:06No mascots.
00:45:07Just great insurance.
00:45:08New quarterback for Green Bay is Kyron Drones.
00:45:11Out of Virginia Tech.
00:45:12Undrafted.
00:45:13This year by Green Bay.
00:45:17So they're trying to get a look at a lot of people.
00:45:20Take a look at Drew Eller's stats on the game here so far.
00:45:22And they're pretty impressive.
00:45:23With eight of ten.
00:45:24One forty three.
00:45:25A touchdown.
00:45:26And a one fifty two rating.
00:45:27Not bad.
00:45:28For his first game.
00:45:29Not bad at all.
00:45:29And when you look at one of those.
00:45:31Should have been a touchdown there on the.
00:45:32And.
00:45:33Dropped there to Riley.
00:45:34But again.
00:45:34You see the smiles.
00:45:36This is what you want.
00:45:37In your first preseason game.
00:45:38Your first couple drives.
00:45:39Able to put the team into the end zone.
00:45:41He should be feeling good about himself right now.
00:45:43And that smile says it all.
00:45:45Smile says it all.
00:45:46Good to see.
00:45:47Howard had a lot to smile.
00:45:48Rudolph 10 of 11.
00:45:49All these guys have done well.
00:45:50That was by the way the 16th accepted penalty in this game.
00:45:54Second and nine.
00:45:57For Kalen drone.
00:45:58Pressure coming.
00:45:59And he is going to go down.
00:46:03Jamin Davis.
00:46:04With the pressure.
00:46:06He's been in the NFL for a while now.
00:46:08This is his sixth year.
00:46:09He was formerly a first round pick.
00:46:13And he was down there in Washington.
00:46:14When Cole Holcomb was down there.
00:46:16There you go.
00:46:17And you can see him just trying to set him up.
00:46:18But he didn't bite at all.
00:46:20And Davis stayed patient.
00:46:22And he knew absolutely what he wanted to do.
00:46:24Was able to bring the quarterback down.
00:46:26But to your point.
00:46:26He played 56 games.
00:46:27Five years in Washington.
00:46:29Spent the year in Minnesota.
00:46:30Won in Las Vegas.
00:46:31And he's trying to make.
00:46:33This roster here.
00:46:34And what better way.
00:46:35For you to show up.
00:46:36And create a sack.
00:46:37In the manner that he just did.
00:46:38He was in Vegas.
00:46:39When Robert Graham was in.
00:46:40Or Patrick Graham was in Vegas.
00:46:42Which means he knows.
00:46:43That guy has some.
00:46:44NFL experience.
00:46:45And that's why they brought him here.
00:46:46And signed him.
00:46:47He's had one and a half sacks in this game as well.
00:46:49It's been a big night.
00:46:50I think Robert Spears Jenning.
00:46:52He's looked really good.
00:46:53Three tackles.
00:46:54One for a tackle for loss.
00:46:56Daylon Everett.
00:46:56Has been in a lot of places.
00:46:58Defensively.
00:47:00When you look at just all of their.
00:47:02Draft picks.
00:47:03A lot of them.
00:47:04They're all playing here today.
00:47:05Gabriel Rubio.
00:47:06We called his name a couple of times.
00:47:08Five.
00:47:08Tackles on the night.
00:47:09Two of them solo.
00:47:10And offensively.
00:47:11You know what they've been doing.
00:47:13Everyone.
00:47:14That was healthy.
00:47:15Made a play in this game here today.
00:47:17Obviously the exception is Max.
00:47:20And that big play there by.
00:47:23Davis.
00:47:23Forces a bunt.
00:47:27Max Hurleman is back.
00:47:28To get it.
00:47:29He takes it at the 40 yard line.
00:47:30Tries to stay in bounds.
00:47:31And then spin away from two people.
00:47:33Now there's more traffic.
00:47:34And he's back down at the 40 yard line.
00:47:38We're going to go on break.
00:47:40Steelers get the football back with 619 left.
00:47:42Leading 21 to 9.
00:47:47Flavors.
00:47:48Pomp sounds good right.
00:47:49Oh yeah.
00:47:50Who doesn't like ice cream this.
00:47:52Come on.
00:47:54Those Steelers players.
00:47:55That is a good bonding experience.
00:47:57They do a great job up there in La Trobe at the medals.
00:48:00Wow.
00:48:01Late flag coming in here.
00:48:02Another flag.
00:48:03That was Heidenreck with the carry.
00:48:05But he.
00:48:06Aaron Rodgers span this.
00:48:07This kind of symmetry of this game.
00:48:09You know with McCarthy here as his coach again.
00:48:12The way it started.
00:48:13Holding.
00:48:14Defense number 93.
00:48:15Five yard penalty.
00:48:17Added to the end of the run.
00:48:18Automatic.
00:48:18First down.
00:48:20And now here is one more year left in this game.
00:48:24And he hopes it's a good one.
00:48:25What a way to go out.
00:48:26If it is.
00:48:27He said.
00:48:28He announced it.
00:48:28This is it for him.
00:48:29But it's been a great.
00:48:31Just see him around.
00:48:32It's been the chemistry that he has with his teammates.
00:48:34And people are gravitating towards him.
00:48:36It's just been great to see.
00:48:38All throughout training camp.
00:48:39Not just this year.
00:48:40But last year as well.
00:48:4164,164 on hand here tonight.
00:48:44And so far they approve of what they've seen.
00:48:46Mike McCarthy's first season.
00:48:48And first game here in Pittsburgh.
00:48:52And up.
00:48:53Once again it's Heidenreich.
00:48:55Trying to shed the attack here.
00:48:59Alright let's take a look at some of the offensive linemen in their position room.
00:49:02Broderick Jones has been out there almost the entire game.
00:49:04He started right side.
00:49:06Goes to the left side.
00:49:07When Fontano left.
00:49:07We haven't seen any hot and short.
00:49:08But what do you see from these guys?
00:49:10Yeah when you're looking at everybody there.
00:49:12Talking about position flexibility and what not.
00:49:14You know you know Jennings Dunker.
00:49:16He's going to be here as a draft pick.
00:49:17But everybody is trying to figure out what part of the rotation that they're going to be in.
00:49:21Broderick Jones playing right.
00:49:23Playing left.
00:49:24And it looks like he's back healthy.
00:49:25And that would be a big plus for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:49:28Aller rolling right.
00:49:29Fires again on the money.
00:49:31And has Joaquin Davis.
00:49:33Who makes his first reception of this game.
00:49:35It's short of the first down.
00:49:36But another right on target throw for Drew Aller.
00:49:40He's just working left to right.
00:49:43He's working the crossing route.
00:49:44Nice delivery on the run.
00:49:48Devonshire was in pursuit of him.
00:49:49He just couldn't get there.
00:49:52Again it has to be an accurate throw.
00:49:54And it was.
00:49:59Third and one now.
00:50:02Heidenreich gets the yardage for first down.
00:50:04And a new set of downs for the Steelers.
00:50:05As the clock continues to run.
00:50:07And the Steelers holding onto that lead at twenty one to nine.
00:50:10Another first down.
00:50:12And one of the points that we talked about.
00:50:14As one of the keys to the game.
00:50:15Was time of possession.
00:50:17And this is where you control.
00:50:18Time of possession.
00:50:19In your four minute offense.
00:50:20You have the lead.
00:50:21You know you have to bleed the clock.
00:50:23And you have to control that line of scrimmage offensively.
00:50:26That's what this line is doing.
00:50:27Because the clock continues to tick.
00:50:30Charlie you go back with the Aller family too.
00:50:33You have a couple interesting stories which we will get to.
00:50:38Aller in the shotgun right now with four or two left in the game.
00:50:42Fires.
00:50:42Behind his intended receiver there.
00:50:44Almost intercepted.
00:50:46That was Jalen Simpson who was there defensively.
00:50:49Looks like Drew was expecting him to break out.
00:50:53But little miscommunication on the route right there.
00:50:56And keep in mind a lot of players are in and out of this lineup.
00:50:58It's not like a consistency in the first game.
00:51:00You're trying to just get a lot of guys looks.
00:51:02And sometimes that communication can be a problem.
00:51:08When you talk about.
00:51:09We talked about Broderick doing his position flexibility.
00:51:11The receivers are doing the exact same too in different spots.
00:51:21And again.
00:51:22Heidner tries to make a little bit of a move there.
00:51:25And they finally get him down.
00:51:27But man.
00:51:27He keeps on going.
00:51:28And Charlie.
00:51:28We mentioned.
00:51:29That we talked about Drew Aller.
00:51:31And you knew him from when he was a little kid.
00:51:32In fact.
00:51:33This is a team picture with.
00:51:34You.
00:51:35And his father.
00:51:35That's it.
00:51:36Kevin Aller.
00:51:37He was a tight end.
00:51:38At Eastern Michigan.
00:51:39He made me look good up there man.
00:51:40That.
00:51:40That was it.
00:51:41I know he told.
00:51:42Tell a bunch of stories to Drew.
00:51:43But Kevin man.
00:51:44He was.
00:51:44Legit.
00:51:45One of the all time best that you have there.
00:51:47And what better way.
00:51:47To watch his son.
00:51:49Drew now.
00:51:50Taking the reins.
00:51:50Here in this game.
00:51:52I know he's a proud father right here.
00:51:53Watching his son.
00:51:54And I'm just a proud uncle.
00:51:56Watching him.
00:51:56There you go.
00:51:58Uncle Charlie up here.
00:52:02Third and eight for Aller.
00:52:03See what he could do here.
00:52:09And it's Heidenreich up the middle.
00:52:10With some hard yards.
00:52:11It's going to be short.
00:52:12Mike McCarthy said he would like 55 offensive plays.
00:52:15Combined rushes or completions in a game.
00:52:18Well tonight.
00:52:18He's got 50 so far.
00:52:19And it's adding on.
00:52:2024 rushes.
00:52:2226 completions.
00:52:23You do that.
00:52:24And spread it around.
00:52:25You make it tough on defenses.
00:52:26And that's what he wants to do.
00:52:27And you're at this point of the game here.
00:52:28You can see Green Bay.
00:52:30They're content with letting the clock bleed out.
00:52:32But now you're sitting here at 2 45.
00:52:3420 seconds on the play clock.
00:52:35At this particular point.
00:52:36I would just assume that you're probably going to take as much time off.
00:52:39Off the clock.
00:52:40And then probably call a timeout.
00:52:44Erleman in the game.
00:52:47Heidenreich remains back there.
00:52:51Jacoby Kenny James number 23 also in there.
00:52:54Now they're going for it all down there.
00:52:56And there's a penalty flag.
00:52:57Two of them thrown.
00:52:58Max Erleman was the intended receiver.
00:53:00And he draws that penalty.
00:53:02Erleman got position.
00:53:07And once again it's Jalen Simpson who looks like he was the culprit.
00:53:12And the one thing.
00:53:14Pass interference.
00:53:15Defense.
00:53:16Number 38.
00:53:17Ball being placed in the spot of the foul.
00:53:19Automatic.
00:53:19First down.
00:53:21So just what we thought.
00:53:22Maybe you can run the clock out.
00:53:24They go for it.
00:53:24And why not?
00:53:25Being conservative.
00:53:26That is not a word you're associating yourself with Coach Mike McCarthy.
00:53:29You see fourth down there.
00:53:31Play clock was running down.
00:53:32He's taking a shot down the field.
00:53:34And he's trying to control this game.
00:53:35And making sure they walk out of here with a victory.
00:53:38And Simpson made sure he was grabbing onto him.
00:53:40Herleman felt it.
00:53:43And both officials on that side of the field threw flags.
00:53:46So there you go.
00:53:47A new set of downs now.
00:53:48The Steelers operate from the 14 yard line of Green Bay.
00:53:56Heiden right bounces to the outside.
00:53:57Now tries to come back inside.
00:53:59It's about three yards on the plate before he's knocked down.
00:54:03So good performances tonight by a lot of these guys.
00:54:06Started with Travis Homer.
00:54:08We didn't expect to see him right from the first drive of the game.
00:54:11But he did.
00:54:11And he played pretty well.
00:54:14Post a two minute warning.
00:54:17This is a two minute warning.
00:54:20All right.
00:54:2121 to nine Steelers lead Green Bay.
00:54:23And they have held Green Bay without a touchdown tonight.
00:54:25Two minutes left.
00:54:26We'll be back to Akersher Stadium.
00:54:31All right.
00:54:32So two minutes left.
00:54:33Aller in the shotgun.
00:54:34After the pass interference.
00:54:36Call against Green Bay on Herleman.
00:54:38Heiden right trying to get some tough yards again.
00:54:41It's been all up the middle with him.
00:54:42And Green Bay has not given him all that much.
00:54:44You know another guy is Tom Arth.
00:54:46One of two holders from Mike Tomlin's staff.
00:54:48And he's a quarterback coach.
00:54:49And he knows this very well.
00:54:51Number.
00:54:51I think he was with Mike McCarthy.
00:54:53Their first charge time out of the half.
00:54:55And any time that you have holdovers.
00:54:57You know that lets you know you did your job the year before.
00:55:00Because most of the time a new coaching staff comes in.
00:55:03He brings all of his guys.
00:55:04Tom Arth is sitting there to the right.
00:55:06At the bottom of the screen right there.
00:55:08But he is very entrenched in everything that goes on in that quarterback room.
00:55:12And he's done a phenomenal job.
00:55:14Yeah.
00:55:14He developed a good relationship with Aaron Rodgers last year.
00:55:16Back in his playing days he was a four year starter at John Carroll.
00:55:20And set 18 program records.
00:55:22Passing records there.
00:55:24And he has head coaching experience.
00:55:26He was a head coach at Akron.
00:55:27Absolutely he was.
00:55:30And I think they got to the playoffs.
00:55:31Well he was a head coach also at John Carroll then Akron I guess.
00:55:34So he's been two places.
00:55:35But he knows a lot about how to play quarterback.
00:55:37And he developed a relationship with Drew Aller up there in Cleveland.
00:55:41So that's how far they go back.
00:55:43His son just graduated from North Catholic High School too.
00:55:46Went on to play college ball.
00:55:47Here's Aller.
00:55:48Stepping up in the pocket.
00:55:49Throwing into the end zone.
00:55:51Had a receiver.
00:55:52They're going to call pass interference on this one as well.
00:55:55And that was Joaquin Davis.
00:55:57Number 89.
00:56:00Who was there but they're going to call the pass interference.
00:56:03Holding.
00:56:03Number 35.
00:56:05Half the distance to the goal.
00:56:07Automatic.
00:56:07First down.
00:56:08So holding not pass interference but it came kind of late.
00:56:11It did.
00:56:11This is one.
00:56:13Well you see gamesmanship and you're saying.
00:56:16Okay.
00:56:16You could win the game.
00:56:18Look over at the other sideline.
00:56:20If I take a knee here.
00:56:21We can bleed the clock out.
00:56:23See what they do.
00:56:24If they call a timeout.
00:56:25Then go ahead and run the play.
00:56:26And then ultimately you're trying to score here.
00:56:28So it's going to be interesting to see what Coach McCarthy's strategy is here.
00:56:32Nineteen accepted penalties in this game.
00:56:33Ten for the Steelers.
00:56:34Now Green Bay with nine.
00:56:35And they've come on with a lot of those in the second half.
00:56:37One fifty one left now.
00:56:40That was a good call by the officials.
00:56:41A nice move by Davis.
00:56:43Again slanting over the middle.
00:56:44Play action to Heiden right.
00:56:46Floater in the end zone.
00:56:47And it's a touchdown for the Steelers.
00:56:49It's Riley Nowakowski from national champion Indiana.
00:56:55The fifth round pick this year.
00:56:57And he completes another impressive drive for the Steelers.
00:57:01Aller.
00:57:02Three drives.
00:57:02All three have resulted in touchdowns.
00:57:05You see Riley right there.
00:57:06He said I'm coming down with that one.
00:57:07That should have been his second one today.
00:57:09But he was able to come down.
00:57:10Beautiful job by Aller.
00:57:12Buying some time realizing there's the unblocked defender on the outside.
00:57:15Just get it over the top with some touch.
00:57:18Allowing your playmakers to make a play.
00:57:20Nice job by Riley.
00:57:21You really got to like the play calls.
00:57:23The selection tonight by McCarthy, Angelico and company.
00:57:26I mean they've mixed things up and really utilized the middle of the field tonight.
00:57:29And that's what you want because now you're keeping the people honest.
00:57:32So when the defensive coordinators from other teams that you are playing
00:57:35realize that you're not throwing the ball outside the numbers
00:57:38which we've seen over the years here.
00:57:40Work in the middle of the field.
00:57:41That's where you become more dangerous.
00:57:43That's where the bigger plays happen.
00:57:45Marjan with the extra point.
00:57:47Aller by the way is now 10 of 13.
00:57:49154 with a 155 passer rating.
00:57:52That's almost as close to perfect as you can get.
00:57:55158.
00:57:59Four touchdowns.
00:58:00Four extra points.
00:58:01And the Steelers are now up 28 to 9 with a minute 46 left.
00:58:05We're going to take a break.
00:58:06Came up one yard short on his drive.
00:58:08But overall he's quarterback.
00:58:10They really played good tonight.
00:58:11They really did.
00:58:12Rudolph 10 of 11.
00:58:13Howard 7 of 9.
00:58:15Aller 9 of 12.
00:58:16All of them with at least a 106 passer rating.
00:58:19Aller had the highest.
00:58:24Scoring drives tonight.
00:58:28Howard 8 for 80.
00:58:31Aller 5 for 80.
00:58:3210 for 89.
00:58:3310 for 60.
00:58:34So again all long drives they put together.
00:58:38That's what you like to see.
00:58:39Any defense will tell you.
00:58:40If you can do 80 yard drives and complete them with touchdowns not field goals you're doing some pretty good
00:58:44work.
00:58:44And that's the impressive part because you talked about field position all day.
00:58:47They always start and backed up.
00:58:48But yet was able to put drives together and put the ball into the end zone.
00:58:52So that was very good to see.
00:58:55All right.
00:58:56All right.
00:58:56Not much there.
00:58:57Steeler defense all over that play.
00:59:01That was Kyler Ball.
00:59:04We haven't called his name tonight but he was excited about that sack.
00:59:09He's been around a while.
00:59:11He spent time on the practice squad.
00:59:13And here he is making a big play.
00:59:15Has not made his debut yet.
00:59:17He can make plays like that.
00:59:19Not to catch the coach's attention.
00:59:20You also saw 45.
00:59:21Julius Welchoff in that tackle.
00:59:23He was part of that international player pathway program.
00:59:27Played in Munich.
00:59:28Was undrafted in 2024.
00:59:30But he's been here for a couple of years now Charlie.
00:59:32Yes he has.
00:59:32And he's learning the system.
00:59:34So he's introduced to the game.
00:59:36But he spent time on the practice squad.
00:59:38So he's just looking to figure out.
00:59:40If he can stick around here.
00:59:42But he went to Michigan.
00:59:43He played a lot of ball up there.
00:59:45Played one season at Charlotte and five at Michigan.
00:59:48Steelers now have four sacks in this game.
00:59:51Drones again under pressure.
00:59:53Make it five.
00:59:55Down he goes.
00:59:57And once again.
01:00:00It's Ball who likes what he's doing.
01:00:02That's back to back sacks for Kyler Ball.
01:00:07Look back and.
01:00:09Even spend some time in the UFL.
01:00:11So as he's going back and forth.
01:00:13You can see the excitement that he has there.
01:00:15To play two seasons.
01:00:16At Minnesota three.
01:00:18At Houston Baptist.
01:00:20Yeah.
01:00:20I mean a lot of guys have to take their opportunities.
01:00:22And many of them are in UFL.
01:00:24Camps.
01:00:25And then end up coming to.
01:00:27The National Football League.
01:00:28And then is trying.
01:00:29The odds are always against you.
01:00:30But you just.
01:00:30Put up plays when you get an opportunity.
01:00:32And Ball has done it in those last series.
01:00:37All right.
01:00:38Steelers going to get the ball left with just 30 seconds.
01:00:40Left on the clock.
01:00:42Mike McCarthy.
01:00:43Family and friends here.
01:00:44Has to love this one.
01:00:46I know it's just preseason.
01:00:47But it's Green Bay.
01:00:49It's like.
01:00:50And you want to make sure you're winning.
01:00:52That's that's the key coming out of here.
01:00:54Because you want your team.
01:00:55To feel in the emotions that come with the win.
01:00:58And celebrating in the locker room.
01:01:00Receiving team.
01:01:00Number 30.
01:01:02Walking opponent out of bounds.
01:01:0315 yard penalty.
01:01:04First down.
01:01:07All right.
01:01:07This next play coming up will be number 55.
01:01:09I believe here for the Steelers.
01:01:10Which is exactly what.
01:01:12Mike McCarthy wants.
01:01:13If you can do that consistently.
01:01:14You're going to have pretty good.
01:01:16Success rate.
01:01:16I would imagine.
01:01:17Absolutely.
01:01:19And if you look back.
01:01:20It won't be many negative plays that you have.
01:01:21throughout the course of the game.
01:01:23But when you have a kneel down.
01:01:24This goes down as a minus one yard rushing.
01:01:27Unfortunately.
01:01:28Unfortunately.
01:01:29One of the few negative plays we've seen here.
01:01:31But.
01:01:31This is one that I would always try to go in.
01:01:33If I was kneeling down.
01:01:35And try to take two steps.
01:01:36Forward.
01:01:37End of the kick.
01:01:38End of the kick.
01:01:39Two steps forward to take the kneel down.
01:01:43Just so.
01:01:44You didn't want to have that negative yard.
01:01:46So.
01:01:48Well.
01:01:48I know we're going to do your quarterback assessment.
01:01:50In our postgame show.
01:01:51But man.
01:01:52I don't know if you could have expected all of this.
01:01:54With these three quarterbacks tonight.
01:01:55They've been nearly perfect.
01:01:56Yeah.
01:01:56Not at all.
01:01:57And it's easy.
01:01:57You just didn't know what to expect.
01:01:59Because you didn't know the rotations coming in.
01:02:01What groups that they were going to be playing with.
01:02:02But regardless.
01:02:03Whoever was those 11 on the field.
01:02:05You had to go down there.
01:02:06And be productive.
01:02:07All quarterbacks were able to do that.
01:02:09By driving the football field.
01:02:11In the manner.
01:02:11Of each of them that was in.
01:02:13Nothing better than the victory formation.
01:02:15Drew Aller takes it.
01:02:16Takes the knee.
01:02:17And that's going to do it.
01:02:18Mike McCarthy.
01:02:19In his first opportunity here.
01:02:21As a Steeler head coach.
01:02:23Completing a dream.
01:02:24Winning a game against the team that he originally started with.
01:02:27Couldn't do any better.
01:02:28But he and.
01:02:29Matt LaFleur.
01:02:29Obviously good friends.
01:02:31Got to know each other.
01:02:32McCarthy.
01:02:32Was fired.
01:02:33It was.
01:02:34LaFleur moving in.
01:02:35And he's been there ever since.
01:02:36You can see it.
01:02:36He tried to hold the smile.
01:02:37As he was walking in the middle of the field.
01:02:39But he left.
01:02:39Definitely let it out.
01:02:40And he's like.
01:02:41Whoo.
01:02:42Relief.
01:02:44Everything up until this point.
01:02:45So.
01:02:45It's good to see this.
01:02:46At this point.
01:02:47Lou Nichols got in.
01:02:49On a touchdown.
01:02:52One of four on the night.
01:02:54Drew Aller.
01:02:56Absolutely.
01:02:56Lunged in.
01:02:57Made sure of that one.
01:02:59And then.
01:03:02Caden Weijin.
01:03:03Was the third.
01:03:04Followed by Riley Nowakowski.
01:03:06So the Steelers going to win this one.
01:03:07Twenty eight to nine.
01:03:09We will come back with postgame coverage of a big win for the Steelers on.
