Hello, everyone. Welcome to the South Side Beat here on the DK.

Pittsburgh Sports Steelers YouTube channel and podcasting network.

Chris Hallick, Matt Williamson, here at the conclusion of minicamp.

Matt, it's been a big week on the South Side.

It sure has.

It was a fun nine-day experience.

I was on the air for three hours a day doing it. But boy, it really picked up this week. I mean, we were laughing on the air that we barely talked about Falun who coming back or how Harmon looked or Watts holdout or boy this D.K. Metcalf guy looks pretty good. You know, like all week, I mean, we could only talk about one thing. And I'll be

honest, my eyes were glued to number eight the whole time. Yeah, so that is the news.

Since we last did an episode of the South Side beat,

Aaron Rogers is officially a Pittsburgh Steeler.

It is the speculation is over.

I think we all kind of knew.

Again, I was being told over and over again, it's a matter of when, not if.

Yeah, yeah.

And now it is, it's official.

I mean, he's not only put pen to paper, but he has been on the south side with the team taking part in practice, not taking part in team drills.

But that's mainly because, you know, Mike Tomlin's like, well, first off, he's learning the playbook. But second off, those reps are a little bit more important for somebody like Will Howard at this time of the year rather than Aaron Rogers. He's been doing this for more now going into his 21st season in the NFL. Rogers is not the offense yet.

I mean, why would you run the team?

You know, and to me, it's pretty simple, right, you know.

So immediate reaction to it finally being done.

Let's start there to Rogers officially being a stealer and having it happened before

minicamp.
