Hello everyone, I'm Matt Williamson. How's it going?

I'm recording this Wednesday after a practice. We got one more, which I assume will be a

bangor padded practice tomorrow. And then we all kind of disappear and the Steelers

frankly, it'd be great to never see him during the season because your other guys are better in

doing well. It would have been great to see him a ton in the preseason and be super excited about it,

you know, for the future, for the down the low you know, for down the future, down the road.

But that's in jeopardy.

Now, Skyler gets a big bump in opportunity.

I would imagine he plays a lot more now in the preseason.

That doesn't really move the needle for me.

That doesn't excite me all that much.

I imagine Rudolph gets a little

bit more action just by necessity. Okay, he doesn't need it. I don't love it. I prefer he doesn't get
