Hey guys, welcome to downtown Pittsburgh. He's Chris Halleck. I'm Dan Kovachovich. We're from

D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. Getting ready to go under the river over to Acresure Stadium for the second

most important game the Steelers will play this week. No joke. That's actually a good way of putting it. Yeah, the joint practice was obviously a lot

more valuable for the first teamers. 15 of them not playing tonight. So we'll see what

happens with Mesa Rudolph and a lot of these backups per se and rookies and getting their opportunity

to kind of build off of what they did last week in Jacksonville.

And we'll see that.

And the diehards among you who will be hanging around in those yellow seats for the third

and fourth quarters, you know who you are, first of all.

You can entertain yourselves with the fringe skill players and so forth and you can say,

wow, this is really important to see who will be number four, number five on the depth chart.

I'm looking at the first stringers for as long as I can and really intensely,

and that tends to be, Chris, in the trenches.

Oh, yeah.

Listen, Broder Jones, Troy Fulton, both had really good... Broder Jones was encouraging. He needs to take another step forward. We don't need to see... I love how we always have to hesitate with Broad. We always have to say, like, Broad was... He was... He was encouraging. Encouraging. Like, the good thing is, is that he lost, like, one rep, like, legitimately lost one.

The bad thing is that there are still some stuff there that's going to get you in trouble.

Putting your head down whenever you're going to do a block, things like that.

If you lose, there's no way to recover.

It's little things like that, cleaning up some, there's no way to recover. It's little things like

that, cleaning up some of the technical stuff, the mechanics of it. But Troy Fautano looked

really good. But what I want to see, especially from those two guys, is continued improvement.

And then obviously from the entire offensive line continuing to gel together. Yeah, the cohesiveness is going to be the big thing.
