Hello, I'm Matt Williamson. What's going on at Williamson NFL? Recording this just got home a couple minutes ago. After day three of OTAs, we've got one week in the books. If you don't know, we're also going to do that Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday of the following week. And then minicamp, which is not the same, a little more advanced and it's mandatory. You could find if you're not there will be the week after that. So three weeks in a row of Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursdays, and then the players basically disappear for the only time of the year that

0:37.9

they're able to do that and then we get back to La Trobe. I mean, that's the schedule here. So just a few

0:43.2

observations from these three days. First of all, today, weather was awesome, unlike yesterday,

0:49.2

there was a lot. It was very spirited. You can just tell that the younger guys were starting to get it.

0:55.7

The speed was a little bit better, less clunky, more team stuff.

1:01.4

You know, like it was more footballish than intro to football, you know, today.

1:06.2

So that was a good sign just as a overall feel.

1:10.1

Some guys I wanted to talk about, and I mentioned this before,

1:14.5

but just what, again, please, these are guys in helmets and shorts. There's no pads, there's no

1:21.1

blocking, there's no tackling, there's no taking on blocks, there's no physicality. There's not,

1:26.6

you know, yeah, there's some hand fighting through routes,

1:28.8

but there's not a lot of physicality. So mostly just body types, movements, things like that.

1:35.9

But the Steelers three offensive linemen that they're most invested in to me are all as promising

1:42.1

or more promising than ever, just seeing them on first blush.

1:46.9

Frazier is so serious and so focused and very quick out of his stance and low,

1:53.7

and all his movements are very powerful and stocky and wrestler-like.

1:58.6

And Troy, who we talked to two days ago, really looks the part. I know he's not

2:05.3

super tall for a tackle, but he seems very comfortable on the right side. His quickness off the

2:10.5

ball is outstanding. His change of direction is excellent. His body control is really, really good.

2:16.7

And I didn't realize this, but Dale pointed

2:19.9

it out because I guess he just spoke to Brodert Jones that he lost a lot of weight this offseason.

2:25.9

Now, the left tackle, right tackle thing is somewhat of a misnomer. Right tackles your big,
