would be would be who's the best categories player if you weren't choosing yourself that's a good question this is a good question say Larry I go to Larry as well Larry seems pretty confident about this I'm not gonna lie who who would you say it's between TJ and cam hey no pressure TV muted though Cam's answers are sometimes real like he he tries to bully you into yes don't you put that on me what you say what did you say the other day what did he say I don't remember there something about the place to go on a date forgot what it was said uh we should have brought the cards where would you have put the cards he said asthma machine yeah that one of something that you what put that mic closer to you yeah we good good um yeah about that uh but I will say mayor Pi picklesburgh how you doing talking over there what what is your obsession with picklesburgh I've only been once it's crazy it's crazy I go once and now I'm the mayor now I didn't know that was a real place it was cool it was cool it's not a place and it's event it's an event it's an event where's it at where do you think it is like what picklesburgh I've never been piber oh okay yeah anyways um no that's a cool event I enjoyed it I enjoyed it um but you know I haven't been back since in a couple years so make my way back eventually get your title back yeah yeah I guess so yeah all right two guys up here have gotten

I just want to I just want to emphasize it that's my dog who steals the most sacks out of the group what does that even mean you split you split sacks with oh boy oh boy go ahead they were all just staring at you while you were looking go ahead say it someone over there to the right hey man we all split the same we get there at the same time all right have you had Charlotte win the NCAA Championship yep second year second year undefeated beat the Georgia Bulldogs and National Championship so you know went year three now how many restarts zero zero restarts on all- American I Ain playing no okay okay J's impossible no way I don't believe it Alex I believe it I mean the best player on the I say I'm one of the best NCAA players on the team for sure what about you Larry play you have the game though I only played it when yall came by the room that was it oh bondie what about you over there no I played I played against you and I threw like five picks I quit in the third quarter I Haven picked the controller back up yet I got to start playing Larry's like dragon games broken controller at least you're portal you're crazy man Alex give me a story about Larry in college give me a story about Larry in college let's see um you know I was a young I was a young guy so you know didn't uh know him as much but I just remember getting to to I think the first game is who we played that first game of 2016 first game in 2016 was it Louis I think it was Louisville that was Lamar Jackson's heising year went crazy on us but Larry had a good game they hung like 73 on us it was crazy how you have a good game with 73 hey he had a good [Laughter] game Larry give me a Alex heith freshman story oh he just came into school ready to work I mean it was nothing bad about Alex for real for real he used to send me his uh videos of him doing like pass R drills and stuff like that but other than that Alex St forward guy worked hard a much he's just a good guy I appreciate that that's very kind words huh those are very kind words I appreciate it do you think TJ could go back and play quarterback in high school I mean anyone can play quarterback what's the question is is it wait what did you say play quarter play quarterback all right now um win a state championship I think he come close in North Carolina I would say North Carolina has some great talent so you're saying no huh so you're saying no just own it I don't I don't think so that's fine that's fine if I could play both ways I feel like I at least have a shot you know Larry what do you think if he could win a state championship in high school in high school right now I didn't know he play right now right now right now now this person this person this exact person play both ways come on bro I don't think we should let him play both ways though I think if he's the quarterback he's got to play that's fine got to return kicks no all right I don't think it would it would help if you return kids kids are getting big yeah you a seen them high schoolers now they look like Darnell Washington it's true it's true I see that rival stuff yeah solar no no was a long he get bored though he would get bored I he taking to the ship I didn't say that why you looking at me a lot of words to say no you takeing to the ship no you take him to the ship yeah thank you appreciate that you're welcome you what an NCAA oh no I can't play NCAA that was a jab huh you said in NCAA not in real I know and then I was respectful and said no I can't even do NCAA we're growing Larry I love it wow I you can clip that clip that uh changing gears a little bit we got a lot of new guys on the team who's been the one guy that surprised you surpris is just light like or just you know really pton pton especially after the preseason game just how he flew around played played fast loves football you can tell by his attitude I think Payton uh beanie's been having a heck of a camp he's been balling so beanie Bishop excited to see him uh you know balling this camp and so excit to see him get better I think djck uh on the edge just a guy that uh real Scrappy at corner and just been able to talk a lot of I don't know if I can swear a lot of smack while he's been making plays so the energy he's brought has been awesome to see that's awesome TJ question for you um you see free agency in the off season what's your pitch the guys to come to the Steelers it's easy there really isn't much you have to pitch cuz Mike T is so well-known across the league and respected and the fans I mean when we travel everywhere um the fans come with us so it's just an incredible place to play I tell them that it's about tradition and we're so close like you know since I've been here we haven't won a playoff game I've talked about that on and on but I truly feel like we're so close and I mean we don't we can't play Forever so the time really is now I'm trying to recruit guys and guys are excited to come and play here and I feel like that's why we have something special brewing and why Pittsburgh is such a special place to play Larry is that what attracted you to to Pittsburgh yeah I think Coach T play a big role you know being on the Otherside being in AFC North for my entire career just seeing how Mike T you know ran the operation and just the the Legacy and the tradition that's been built around this organization it was Easy Choice Alex you didn't have a choice I did but I'm glad to be here um I'm run through some quick questions right now best dressed out of this group me lario lario although he was on the scoreboard uh I was I was for the fashion show you should Host this year bro you do a great job I it last year did a good job I did a good job again again back to back [Laughter] I didn't know dressing comfortable was a crime I ain't even say any name hey I'm not I'm not going to wear jeans to go to work just take my jeans off put my Steeler GE on so we're just G to go with the um best cook we can rule one guy out two guys out it's between me and Alex why why you getting ruled out well you've had a chef forever since I've known you do doesn't mean I can't cook doesn't mean you can okay what Alex Alex throws it down he really does we need to do we need to do another Grill off okay who' you point at dude we had a steak cook off and this guy brought skirt steak you set me up you set me up skirt steak skirt steak to a steak cook off where he took last place no I did no Vinnie took last place well that was cuz he put lemon pepper on a steak l pepper Isreal too you had yeah that Montreal State um if you could play one other position what position would you play uh I would play running back okay Larry grew up playing it I love it we linebacker be fun that'd be fun uh tight end tight end okay you uh tight end it's an interesting thought who's the one player you don't want a room with at camp or on the road out of this gr what bro he's included in this you keep pointing to the right every time he's included you know can point right back yeah guys BR over here let's see uh I don't know cam to make him feel better Larry who you choose well I have room with TJ and it's fine so how is it how is it room with TJ it's good here we go I already know what's coming what's coming nothing it's fine it's fine just say it again it's fine it's fine nothing wrong it's great if anyone didn't know Larry and TJ are rooming together we have a yeah we share a bathroom no you guys are rooming together we share a bathroom we share a bathroom he has a room I have a room I like candles and you know about it is it noisy or he gets out in front of it I like candles is it noisy yeah I like candles I've have a very hydrated roommate wow I'm at Camp I'm supposed to hydrate every time I go to take a leak there he goes [Music] again oh man Lar this is for you all right we need a quot of the day I've been asking you days what you what knowledge do you want to drop uh the journey is what makes the destination worthwhile last question for you guys and I let you guys go um what are you most excited for this year uh I don't know I'm just really excited for this year um you know I felt like you know we got a really good squad this year and I'm just excited to go ball at these guys and you know get to and win Super Bowl that's the ultimate goal so um that's what I'm excited for just a ball with these guys uh I feel like there's a unique energy you can just kind of feel it and kind of what TJ said earlier it's just time you know what I'm saying like I feel like we have the right pieces we have the right mindset and it's just kind of time you know when you you beat on a door for so long and you're so close at a certain point you just got to break through and I feel like we have a unique enough group and you know I think we have the right pieces to get get over that home but it's up to us to do it so we we got to go out and do it I think we have a good mix of young and old not like we haven't in years past but our Acquisitions have been aggressive uh with intent and we have experience in the playoffs not that we've won lately but we have experience we know how serious we have to take things especially this time around this time of year uh to be great and to have longevity and win late in the season and uh what's been happening can't can't continue to happen I think there's a sense of urgency globally um offense defense and special teams and I'm just excited for it I love it let's give them one more question you guys ask cam anything you want yeah I got I got a question here we go do you consider yourself a a well-rounded athlete yes then join the Home Run Derby tonight and let's see a swing a bat thanks for having us on M drop wow wow wow I I didn't play baseball I played basketball don't do the Home Run Derby come on don't do it I'll think about it don't do it it'd be great for the pot it would be good be some great footage no I already did it you can do it this year I challenged you and I'm challenging you and I'm denying the challenge I'll go if Larry goes that'd be great not happen you play baseball all there no who do you think is the best baseball player sitting right here it's are you playing yeah not today oh you played all through high school though didn't you yeah it' probably be Alex yeah I guess you're fine with that all around baseball player yeah I mean as of right now but we we did each did the Home Run Derby at one point I can't remember how many points he had did you make it to the second round I think so I was I'm not shooting I'm not you're shoo this shot it's all right I think I did I'm pretty sure yeah that means he didn't hats off he he gets the title right now thank you brother good job Alex thank you

went off and did his own thing um what's going on you get married and you just become a different person you were the one that told me to start the podcast I was not the hear this do you believe he this I this is the first I'm hearing of that I did not know that I do I started my own podcast but cam was the one that influenced me and told me start now so I started now how annoying is C I'm not going to answer that on camera that's enough of an answer take it however you want what's it like having b as the vet in the room now uh old Wy back you know it's it's been the same as it as it's been the last four years you know do as BOS says not as BOS does and uh that's what we live by here that's what we do who was the first one that called you Cam was it BOS or co uh no it was BOS yeah it was BOS he welome me to Pittsburgh yeah I mean I I shot him a tag he was in Australia no I didn't see him until I uh showed up the facility later on yeah wow I shot him a text he was in Australia okay okay um we were looking at Madden uh C want to guess you're raiding 42 oh wow we got a little bump humble little H is it was it bump yeah you were bum 56 lineer you can a linebacker yeah that's a high rating I thought so too do you think that is adequate the6 rating yeah yeah I think he's pretty fair the middle linebacker though that's a little well I think they saw his Duane highlights yeah the Duane highlights I was telling Sean that was very impressive what you did at Duane you were the TJ wat of Duane I really appreciate that we could share my highlight tape I can send you the link it's on Vimeo not YouTube Vimeo wait it's not on YouTube guys it's on Vimeo but I could share it if you want to play it as a cut up in here we we already shared it from our show uh Twitter handle trust me that was me by the way I was doing that for you I knew what I was doing there all right so what's it been like to have Cameron Johnson here now new guy and you know he's got hell of a leg what's it been like uh it's nice have you know two vets here that have been around the league uh I still consider myself Young young in the league um but it's been it's been nice man he's uh he's got a lot of as Danny would say Tools in his toolbx different kicks different alignments um it's just it's good it's been it's been really nice thanks cam I appreciate that no yeah we call him a judge machine yeah you know he'll pump for three hours straight not be tired and go back at it the next day and I like it wait how do you feel bz about him making the first tackle as opposed to this guy making the first tackle is that expected or it's not expected but well he's the hardest hitter of this group this position group he right I mean I saw it yeah he he hit pretty hard where were you on that play I cut off the field I forced it back to the sideline cam are you the TJ wat of Australia no no he's a all right um have you seen the Duane Knights yet he showed us the stadium uh yeah massive this is the it's the Duane Dukes dude he calls them the Duane Knights I it's disrespectful and everyone at Duane hates you because of it another question for you um has anyone ever told you look like Bill Burr yeah the uh TJ in the backg on yes the opposing fans every single game every single game oh yeah every opposing team just gets after it so wow yeah if you kick into the net at all that's all you he so there you go he's a funny dude though yeah it's good it's a good one he's Jack B bur he's Jack is not that jacked uh maybe he is I don't think so dude he's not laying the wood on on kickoff like that
