Hey everyone. Welcome to Double Shot of Steelers. He's Chris Halleck. I'm Dan Kovachovich. We're from D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. And the football team has, what's the count? Days.

13 days until kickoff. Till kickoff in East Rutherford, New Jersey the count? Days. 13 days. 13 days.

Until kickoff.

Until kickoff in East Rutherford, New Jersey against the other jets.

And this is a team that, look, we've been viewing this stuff, this whole process from the top down throughout.

Really, if you go back to OTAs and everything, everything's been top down.

So when we have discussions here, they're not going to be about so-and-so random guy who went to

Colgate. It's going to be, you know, about Aaron Rogers and the rest of the roster.

And yet, I can still see things on both the offensive side and the defensive side that look like they're unsettled from the starting perspective.

Some of that stuff Chris got answered or at least addressed a little bit today after practice, which just ended, by the way, over here on the other

side, this is the big building for hunting and indoors and stuff. But over there is where the

grass fields are. There's work to do. There is. And listen, you know, Mike Tomlin said it. The

sand is running through the hourglass. These are the days of our lives. But, I mean, it is true. They got one more practice. They have mandatory four days off per the CBA. And then a week from today, they'll be showing back up. And at that point, it's Jets preparation. It's Jets week. Yeah, there's still some stuff to work out. The other Jets,

sorry. But yeah, there's still some stuff to work out. I mean, yeah, you kind of know, okay, Aaron Rogers is your starting quarterback. Jalen Warren's your RB1, D.K. Metcalfs, your W.R.1. On the defensive side, yeah, you kind of know where you're starting. Jam and TJ and so forth.

But within that, and this is what I was eager to talk to you about today, especially since they

have their last practice here for another 48 hours, is that when you get the starting 11 on

the field, first off, they're not the starting 11.

I mean, it's the starting 12 or 13 or what have you.

And there are also going to be injury issues, which we'll be getting into shortly, including

that might stretch into the season opener. What I think of first and foremost is, are you strong

enough with your top, let's say 13, 14.

It's one of the aspects I've liked about the way Omar Khan has built this team.
