Hello, everyone.

Welcome to the Southside Beat here on the DK.

Pittsburgh Sports Steelers YouTube channel, of course, on our DK.

Pittsburgh Sports app.

Well, Chris Halleck, Matt Williamson, talking Steelers football, preseason's over, Matt.

Yeah.

I mean, how do you feel after three preseason games? How are things? How are you

feeling about this team? Yesterday was kind of a tough watch. And it was not great to host a two

two hour post game show for we finally did get to see some Steelers that have rested, but not a ton of those guys,

you know, and not the very top most important dues, as everyone knows.

But I don't want to bury the, well, I don't want to get away from the fact that Carolina

did not take this game at all seriously. I mean, they sat like their 30 most important players, and they're a terrible team to begin with. Like, I don't even know what to take of it. I mean, I know the league very well. I'll put my, I'll take the PEPT challenge against any Pittsburgh guy around league knowledge. And there were very few Panthers, I knew anything about that were on that field. That being said, you know, the Harmon injury is something we need to discuss.

But all in all, I definitely think the vibes are good.

I think the vibes are real good.

And the health, Harmon aside, which maybe they dodged a bullet, is pretty darn good as well, which clearly was a priority. There are some rookies to talk about, some new guys to talk about. There's tons to talk about. But last night's game, I'm not going to watch it three and four times. I can tell you that. Yeah. So I've kind of gone back through it once already today. Yeah, me too. My chock talk. And I'm done. Yeah. My chock talk for the day is actually going up right after the show is over. Oh, cool. I just got done exporting it. Player of the game for me is YA Black. And so I was just like, yeah, I'm going to do it on this guy. He might be the player of the preseason for me. Oh, no, 100%. Yeah, yeah. 100%. He's the player of the preseason. Which makes the whole Benton thing, or not Benton, I'm sorry, Harmon thing a little more palatable. Yeah. So really quick, just to fill everybody in in case you don't know, Derek Harmon went down in the second quarter last night. He was carded off, was showing a lot of emotion on his face.

You're just like, okay, this is not looking good.

Fans are starting to jump off the 6th Street Bridge in downtown Pittsburgh.

But, you know, it ends up not being that bad.

Harmon comes back out.

It goes to the sideline under his own power and street

close in the second half. He's laughing and joking with his teammates. I saw him after the game.

He walked out of the locker room a little gingerly. I described it as a very slight limp.
