It's Friday here on the Locked-on Steelers podcast.

I'm your host, Chris Carr.

We've got Nick Farabaw joining us from PennLive.com. The Steelers completed their joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We'll go over some things we saw. And we'll talk about can the office be better than it was in 2024. That's a big, a big pass to see if this team can actually get into the playoffs and win a playoff game. We'll talk about that where the Steelers DBs should rank in the NFL and preview

that preseason matchup coming up Saturday all here on the Locked on Steelers podcast.

Let's get into it.

nick farrabaugh you know nick farabaw from penlive.com covers the steers for them he's always on this

show nick and i were at the steelers buccaneers joint practice that got kind of animated at times it was

a fun lively practice a few things things happened there. We saw seven shots and two minute drills. We can only report on some things because it's a private practice. We can't say like everything like we do for normal training camp, but things we did confirm. A, Steelers offense destroyed the Buccaneers defense, seven shots six to one, but on the flip side, the Buccaneers defense won seven shots against the Steelers defense, four to three. And then in the two-minute drill, the Buccaneers first team offense did score a touchdown with a touchdown pass to Mike Evans. Jaylen McMillan also made some good plays on their two-minute drill. But the Steelers' offense fails to get a first down in their two-minute drill.

Granted, Nick, it's preseason, and that's joint practice.

These literally are just them trying out different things.

Wins and losses in these reps aren't big things to get hyped or down about,

but it is interesting to see matchups that we got to see out there

on Thursday.

Yeah, it was fun to see some of those matchups, guys like Zach Frazier against Vita Vaya,

for example.
