Hey guys. Welcome to St. Vincent College in La Trobe. He's Chris Halleck. I'm Dan

0:15.4

Kovachievich. And today was the first day of the Steelers actually practicing doing football things and remember how

0:23.3

I'd shared with you at least a thought that this wasn't going to be all that eventful uh-uh

0:28.0

no it had it had some juice oh yeah uh very first throw of training camp from Aaron Rogers and

0:36.2

Team Drills intercepted by Patrick Queen.

0:39.1

That got a, it was kind of a conundrum for the fans because they wanted this year for the

0:44.1

defense, but they're like, oh, yeah, that's our four-time NBA starting quarterback

0:48.3

throwing an interception on the first pass. So I don't know what to feel, but either way,

0:52.4

it got a pretty good reaction. And then the defense, the rest of the day was the defense looks like it can be exactly what you're hoping that it'll be.
