welcome NFL game day final presented by Best Buy and look you love that at the end right get a chance to show your stuff take advantage of your opportunity celebrate your touchdowns that a lot of fun there what's up everybody red Lewis Bucky Brooks Brian Baler excited to be here with you on this Sunday the final day of NFL preseason the kicker on that he did he did the right thing he did he did hey we're taking advantage of all situational opportunities uh here in the preseason but let's start Bucky here with will uh will Levis would you see as he's you know this year going to start week one leading this Brian Callahan offense well you have to like what you saw the last preseason game 11 for 13 153 yards got everyone involved and I think Bal what we liked is just the overall execution of the offense under his Direction as a Young quarterback learning how to master this new system under Brian Callahan is going to be critical but they've surrounded him with a veteran Playmakers to make it easy for him we see celvin Ridley there making plays we saw them get the ball to Tony poin DeAndre Hopkins will eventually come back there's some pieces for this offense to get going it's about will L selling in and just doing what he's asked to do and I think you know from an organization standpoint they've identified will LS okay he's our he's our franchise right here let's see what we can do you're bring in Bill Callahan to help with the offensive line you draft JC leam okay along with you bring in Lloyd cushenberry the center you get some pieces up front then you bring in Tyler Boyd and Calvin Ridley and Tony Pard and then you add more Playmakers around him they're doing the right thing it's up to will Le now to take his game to another level but the pieces around him have gotten a whole lot better yeah four out of the five projected starters along that Titans offensive line our recent draft picks Dylan Raiden Nicholas petite fra on the right side and then the two first rounders scony and leam on the left side all right so we are going to put a bow on the preseason today and now get you ready for what this regular season is going to look like fa let meing speed Le the end of our work week this upcoming week uh we got three days of Steelers versus Steelers work and why not do it then it kind of you know minimizes the Steelers versus Steelers work when we start making decisions prior uh to the completion of that we've got ample time to prepare for Atlanta and make whatever decisions or announcements regarding divisional labor or pecking orders and so forth and so we'll do it at the end of the work week all right so let's take a look here Russell Wilson Justin fields and in terms of sample size Fields getting a little bit more action obviously Russell was still kind of dealing with the calf early on in the preseason Fields leading two scoring drives and look it's pretty even uh did see a little bit more running the football from the quarterback spot when Justin Fields was there as as you might expect Bucky what's your choice what are you what are you looking for what are you deciding on when Mike Tomlin puts this into context Mike Tomlin has to make a decision on whether he wants the manager or a playmaker at quarterback and naturally when you're a defensive guy you lean more towards the managerial type and Russell Wilson and the reason is you don't want to lose games by turning the ball over having egregious penalties not understanding how to line everybody up there's comfort in having Russell Wilson take the Reigns because he's done that he's done it for a long time he's won a Super Bowl in this role and even though he's not vintage Russell Wilson he's good enough to lead a team with a good running game and a strong defense to higher Heights he gets the ball early knowing that you can always give it to Justin Fields late if you're not getting what you need on offense yeah and let's look at the schedule here for the Pittsburgh Steelers they're going to open in Atlanta with the Falcons and then you get another road game against the Broncos before coming home to host the Chargers at first quarter then see three out of four on the road to start here Baldi how much do you think the schedule and and what they're looking at here early on might tell us about maybe how short the leash is for either one of these quarters well a couple things one I mean we heard Mike Tom just say Atlanta I don't think they're looking further than the Atlanta Falcons that's their opener in Atlanta but what they don't want to do Rett is what they did last year you go to picket to trabis to Mason Rudolph and you're juggling these quarterbacks looking for a spark and that's not what you want you want to that's why I think Mike is taking an extra week here to like make sure he gets this thing right make sure is if it's Russell is he fully healthy can he play the way we have seen Russell play at times before or do they need what Bucky just said just a true playmaker back there and let's live with what whatever mistakes it might come with that yeah and uh you know they're going to get a couple more days of work sounds like three more work days as mik Tomlin said Steelers versus Steelers so we'll see what uh ultimately that decision is at the conclusion of this week perhaps some decisions absence notable absence in 49ers camp and preseason Trent Williams obviously not there as well Christian mcaffry still coming back from the injury Baldi but how did the auk and Williams contract situation impact what we're going to see from San Francisco week one well I mean if you just look at what happened last year with Nick Bosa they signed Nick Bosa days before their opener against the Steelers a year ago I think these things have time to get done uh you know Nick Bosa came in the lineup without any off season got three sacks against the Steelers I believe you could take Trent Williams I don't know if he's in Long View Texas right now where he's at I believe that Trent Williams stays in shape you could put him in week one against the Jets in that pass rush and he'd be just fine but I think got to get that deal done he's got a relationship with Kyle going back to his days with the Washington commanders um Kyle knows they're a much better team with Trent in there if they can get auk done look at some point you can't pay every single star on your team and maybe this is where it comes to an end but I think they're doing everything they can to get this deal done for auk and Trent if I'm an N fan I'm worried I'm worried because I'm worried about the lack of focus no one is around everyone is focused on their own individual agendas we're not coming together as a team we're here in training camp Brandon auk's not here Trent Williams crying for money we just got CMC done I just don't like it going in I feel like the Super Bowl hangover is still hovering over the 49ers right now and then there's that the Ricky piol injury you know you kind of thought that might be some insurance for him if the auk thing lingers or if he ends up leaving but now you know piol dealing with the shoulder situation so the Eagles are going to flip the script here right putting all training camp and preseason to bed here as they get ready for the regular season opener as we mentioned didn't see hers at all in the preseason but Nick serani says Jaylen Herz is having an unbelievable Camp obviously tail into last year Vibes were not Immaculate uh there was some talk about you know maybe there was some frustration there uh kind of all all around in Philadelphia right but Baldi do you feel like this team now Herz serani can get back to the success of 2022 and put to bed the struggles of late season 2023 yeah I do I mean they didn't have answers to a lot of things that teams were doing to him at the end of the season last year so you bring in Kell Moore and Doug nme on the offensive side I think the coaching is better the protections will be a little clear their answers to pressures and blitzes will be better and then the town around them is better you can hand it off to saquan right now throw it to saquan along with AJ Devonte and then you trade for Jan doson behind a quality offensive line I mean there's no reason why Jaylen can't get back to playing at a level that we saw in 2022 when they went to a Super Bowl they've gotten off to good starts each of the last two seasons and so I feel like they've got everything they have that they need for Jaylen Herz to be successful in this offense to be good offense should be remarkable and I'm I mean I'm expecting a team that can light up scoreboards Kell Moore takes over and it reminds me a lot of when the Cowboys had Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott in the prime bringing saquan Barkley over gives them a different dimension to this offense we can talk about Devonte Smith and AJ Brown and Dallas Gard but being able to run the football with saquan changes the equation it should make life easier for Jaylen Herz look for Jaylen Herz to re-emerge as that guy that was pushing for MVP status a couple years ago yeah but no question that Dak Prescott was the most prolific passer and best quarterback in this division the NFC East a year ago we [Music] for for [Music] [Music] [Music] e [Music] [Music] for he [Music]
