Hello, I'm Matt Williamson. How's it going? Things are good over here. Quiet time, as you suspect. You know, I've got some vacation coming up, and then I go right in the training camp. I've got like four little nuggets here. Two of them are just news.

0:22.1

First of all, Naji Harris injured his eye in a fireworks accident on July 4th.

0:28.4

From what I'm seeing today, Sunday afternoon, he's expected to be okay for the regular season and all that.

0:36.0

But while I wanted the Steelers to go away from Harris, I think it was the right move, moving on, drafting it back, I thought that was an obvious decision. Still rooting for him. I mean, I love, I appreciate his toughness, his reliability is, you know, the way he fights for every yard. So hoping the best for him, protection, doesn't fumble, doesn't miss times.

0:57.1

There's something to be said for that for a running back of his, you know, stature and

1:01.4

physicality and the punishment he withstands and gives out to be there down after down every

1:07.7

situation if needed, you know, so hoping for the best for him.

1:12.2

The other newsworthy thing, and we don't have any more information on this, but the Brown's

violence, battery charge. First off, you just don't ever want to be that guy this time of year. I mean, just getting in

any kind of trouble whatsoever, let alone domestic stuff, obviously. But every coach tells

1:35.9

their players when they walk away at that last day of minicamp, I don't want to hear headlines

1:41.0

from you. You know, almost all the headlines are going to be bad.

1:50.8

And through a Brown's perspective, I didn't understand drafting two running backs, two quarterbacks.

1:51.5

I hated their draft for considering their draft capital.

1:54.3

But it's clear what they're trying to do is they're trying to establish a power ground

1:58.6

game with multiple tight ends until their young quarterback

2:02.9

gets inserted, which kind of has some familiarityities around here.

2:07.1

Different approach, but this would really put a wrench in that.

2:12.3

I mean, this is the guy they're counting on to be pretty much the foundation of their offense. And I really like Judkins as a

2:19.6

player. I thought that pick was warranted. It's not the approach. It's not the way I would have

2:25.3

used their picks, you know, different subject altogether. But the fact that they did just imply
