Network the Mike Tomlin show is brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store the F-150 is the official truck of the Pittsburgh Steelers welcome back to the Mike tomman show brought to you by by your neighborhood Ford Store the F-150 is the official truck of the Pittsburgh Steelers one of your sayings coaches you uh one man's Misfortune is another man's opportunity Russell Wilson's calf injury created an opportunity for Justin Fields but did it also create an opportunity for you and your staff to learn about a new player at an accelerated rate no question not only knowledge of Justin but also um knowledge of Kyle Allen uh as well and so what sometimes one man's Misfortune means opportunity for others um Justin obviously had an opportunity to get get more reps and and us get to know him and I can say the same thing about Cal Allen what' you learn you know I just I think exposure is everything um I'm more familiar with with their skill sets their talents um the things that they do well and naturally um exposure is good and and so it's been an incre increased exposure and so an accelerated um understanding and knowledge of who they are as players what are you looking for from your team in tonight's preseason game a high floor from a fundamental perspective um before you can start kicking butt man you got to not kick your own butt and I just think that that's a component of this process I don't want us to be highly penalized I wanted us to have clean cleanliness on both sides of the ball pre- snap um I want us to do routine things routinely um those are some of the things that I want to see the first time out as opposed to to the spectacular I want to see some high floor things because the Texans played in the Hall of Fame game uh will they be in a different place than your group which has not been in the stadium yet no question but that's a good thing for us um you know it changes you once you step into a stadium um in terms of development and so they are further along in their process than we are um because of their participation in the Hall of Fame game they were in training camp essentially a week before we were at this stage of the journey that is a significant Advantage from a developmental perspective and so I'm excited about that I like challenges we need challenges it's good to be in a in a stadium with a team um that's further along than we are uh will adapt and it'll help us evolve we're going to get some of the Frontline players for example and so there's a lot about it that's attractive from my perspective if you're talking about um our development and the things that we get to to see with regard to the new kickoff rule are you more likely to be aggressive and proactive with your team and your decisions or might you use this first preseason game for Recon for trying to get a handle on how opponents might approach it you know I I think more than anything um I'm not trying to get too much accomplished um we're going to hit it right down the Fairway if you will um this is our first exposure to it I want to make sure first that the guys understand the play the rules of the play um the things that are significant um in terms of the design of the play um those are the things that really have my attention less about strategy what we intend to do as we move into the fall or what the Joneses are up to we just want to dip our toe in the water initially if there had been no change to the kickoff rule would there have been a joint practice with Buffalo yes I'm into joint practices particularly when I have a relationship with the with the coach I think um um you like the intensity of it while at the same time you want to maintain professionalism I think relationships Aid in that the history that sha and I have make us appropriate dance partners and I'm glad um that it's going to happen for us besides what you just said what would you describe as the pluses and minuses of a joint practice or are there none but except you know um for example Buffalo is a 4-3 team we're a three four team and so during the course of the Season you see three four teams you see four three teams our offense is almost seen exclusively 34 structure in Camp it's good for them to work during development against something that's you know schematically different um we utilize a bunch of tight ends and so forth offensively um Buffalo has been a three receiver group if you will um and so it's good for our defense maybe to see some different things offensively it's good for offense to see some different things defensively it's just all part of the you know developmental process so you mentioned the relationship you have with Buffalo coach Shawn mcder how does that relationship um I don't know maybe prevent some of the negatives of a joint practice you know that's my brother man we've been we've been friends man since we're young young people and so um it's probably because of the depths of that relationship it's probably easier to to maintain the professional environment um that we all desire and when it comes to playing time in preseason games do the young guys have to earn playing time through how they perform in practices or do you view these preseason games as just another part of the evaluation process it's another part of the evaluation process but make no mistake um you know the participation is earned um we're going to use everybody you got to use everybody but when they participate in game um is the things that are earned in this process leading up to it and and the sooner you get in these games obviously the better better shape you're in in terms of being a component of this that's the Mike Tomlin show brought to you by your neighborhood Ford Store the F-150 is

Bowl 59 will be hosted the narrator for the last 30 years won't be long for this year's Journey the golden voice of the Steelers Bill Hillgrove has moved into semi-retirement where he will be enjoyed by pit fans and missed by Steelers fans so alongside Craig wolfley I'm Rob King grateful to be with you for tonight's game along with wolf and Max Starks who will join us shortly wolf every season is a New Journey and while many of the names and faces are familiar some are not and that includes three rookie draft picks along the offensive line I know you're excited to see you better believe it let me tell you something we got Smash Bash and crash of course that would be Troy fatano Zack Frasier and Mason McCormack all three guys the denominator ker is the fact that they have great physicality they got great ham hack power they will power drive any bulldozer that you see laying around I mean these guys come out after this is the drive with Dale Loi and Matt Williamson on your 247 home of the black and gold SNR Steelers Nation radio welcome to the drive I'm I am Dale Loi here with Matt Williamson and Rob King and uh we're live from Steelers training camp here at St Vincent College are running out of days here at St Vincent College you guys are running out of time to get on the damn air come on yeah it's been a bit of a little bit of a lunch crunch lately that's that's those sounds you hear the are these guys finally getting on their headsets I was I was actually uh applauding how smooth I was going to say apologizing after sipping your extra strength coffee there but I meant U how smooth we were at getting in and then Dale called us out in the air yeah nobody would have known I heard the music they would have heard all all the we got turn down the volume and we have to exchange pleasantries with ma wolf and it's a line change they don't always go smoothly it's not smooth coming over the board they too many men in the ice this one was less smooth than others maybe our worst one yet yeah it really wasn't very good no you're right though we're running out of practices and nights in uh dorm room beds and whatnot yeah coming to a conclusion here pretty quick game tomorrow game tomorrow tomorrow so you psyched Mr King Oh I thought you were talking to Dale um yeah I am I'm time man I'm excited about it I mean it's been it's been uh a couple of years since I called a Steelers game I I had a chance to fill in for Bill several years ago I think I did four straight games two at the end of one season two at the beginning of the next and it was great it was wonderful I'm looking forward to it you know preseason is a little bit different there's so many variables so many more guys playing so many more in and outs but it's still fo yeah it's still football it's still wonderful um you know uh yeah I'm I'm I'm excited I'm forward to it yeah and I I the first one I've been to in probably three years I I don't get the games I mean I should go to more like isolated Thursday games or Monday games or I'm always home trying to soak everything in but right covering the entire league right right right like I'm going to go home and watch two games Aon night we got we got NFL uh New England and somebody Carolina I think that's the feature game and then they'll replay the other one on IM that being the feature game um Drake May brce young might both play true there you go could be worse there you go oh it'll be worse when Drake May plays or they may have the first two picks on the draft next year yeah right um so the Steelers uh they had a walkth through today I it was an open walkr but it was a walk through and so unpadded uh nothing to be gleaned from any of this other than the fact that first uh the first offensive line that was out there had brri Jones at right tackle and Dam Moore Jr at left tackle then when they went to the second unit Brodrick Jones switched over to the left side and fanu went the right tackle okay that's that is interesting because I kind of thought just watching the last two practices where they did stuff that fanu might start the game at right tackle but it sounds like that's not the case yeah and as we said yesterday could be soon yeah it's it's you're you're looking at you know the the first team offensive line maybe taking you know 10 snaps out there so right right so real quick I think we talked about this yesterday I remember you talking about the 10 snap thing is that all we're expecting out of fields no that's a really good question I think he'll play a little bit more than that I'd like to see a lot more than that because he will be playing against behind a good offensive line no matter what well the other thing is too is that he's been working with the ones mostly but a little bit of the twos and that would be probably the rest of the camp I don't know it's going to be interesting that's a great question pick isn't out there and we're Waring or Heros I'd like to see him with Jefferson and those guys I mean I don't even know how much Jefferson plays though yeah I'm curious how much does he need to play right well I think they're going to try to get you know the Steelers have always done a great job of getting everybody in the game you know there's there's the notion that here I think and in talking to some of the players they say it's not always the same you get an opportunity here you're going to play you you turn on Hard Knocks and you know they got the 90th guy in the roster and they're featuring him and you know they got his wife and you know his singing coach or whatever you know whatever his background story is it's interesting and then you get out there the guy doesn't even get in the game doesn't even play in the game even run out on a kickoff so I don't think the Steelers do that do they I think if you're on this roster you're going to get an opportunity out there now not everybody plays at some point in the preseason yeah there'll be some guys that maybe don't get into the that's not a good sign by the way not a ring there'll be like five or six that because it's 90 guys you can't get 90 guys into a game you also don't get to put film out for the next team yeah you know that's that's rough so here's the thing that I think is fairly obvious but it's always interesting too so who's out there first okay you you're going to play your starters except you're not going to play you know your pro bowlers you're not going to play your superar seven guys I guess that aren who are the next guys out there who are the next guys first the right so even if you're going to get an opportunity all this work so the people that say you know practice and what what does it mean and OTAs and all that all this is leading to you getting the first opportunity out there you know guys are improving like fanu and Frasier and you know the young guys we expect McCormack they're they're on the rock but what about the guys you know what about Gran Arnold how quickly is he going to be out there that says a lot right so that when you get out there all of this offseason stuff you know your film work what you've done in the meetings your reliability how you've shown in practice you know practicing against your own and this is more physical than than in other environment so maybe they can tell a little bit more all that leads to tomorrow night when are you getting in the game you know that and then now you have to prove yourself yeah like I think it's interesting like Pickins will probably be one of the first wave to come out you he's going to play but he might play 10 plays run four routes never get a ball thrown to him and block a little bit in the Run game and maybe need a shower get the out you know what I mean be standing there at halftime in his uh with just his jersey on with no pads anymore yeah yeah so back to fatano fanu fanu fanu fou tan you care more about this than Troy does fou tanu I'm so bad at it though i' I've looked in a mirror and tried to do it I get foul foul foul T fou T seems easy enough until next segment when I screw it up so I assume he won't start the game but it will probably come in after 10 plays do you think he plays extensive from there yeah I do too like maybe in the second half at least through the first half I would think same with Frasier y yeah those guys a lot of snaps think MC too Anderson yeah right and Anderson right very very interesting guy we saw today like Isaac sealo wasn't out there doing any of the even the walkthrough today cuz he's not going to play right um and Anderson's going to start this game good I think he's earned it yeah yeah yeah I mean I think he's a good player that guard situation especially if you include herbig with the guards and centers is really deep and really impressive the interesting thing is going to be if Frasier does wind up beating out herig at some point does herig then slide into that number one backup guard spot because I he's presumably still the backup center and a lot of times teams don't like to play the backup center with your starting center at the same time would he be the better version of BJ finy as I like to say you know that the fourth interior does the does him playing center now and showing he can do that on a consistent basis now not make get him less playing time in a regular season I see what you're saying cuz we've seen that in the past but we I haven't noticed because those two are dominating Center reps but if Anderson's also healthy or active on game day he can play center too yeah he's not mccollum's doing the third team Center stuff Anderson can give you that once you get day once you get into the regular season that's that's going to be the case um but again you're going to have you know you've got other guys that can play center as well I mean s m could play center for you if you had to Dani Daniels can play center but um you know a lot of times coaches don't like to use their their number one backup center at the same time as their regular Center in case some you know tragedy would strike and like hoshower when he was a clear two Center yeah they wouldn't put anywhere else you know like the only one guy that can get hurt for you to get your jersey dirty I'm also interested as to who is going to be so fanu comes in and plays right tackle I think they've been using cook mostly at right tackle haven't they has you played some left tackle Dylan cook he has in the past early in Camp he was left a lot so how much Jones starts switching back so if it's more with Broger Jones on the right side then Jones flips over to the left side and is going to play presumably with a lot of that younger group will somebody else come in and get some first half let's say they play a half will somebody else come in and get first half snaps at the left tackle position would that be Dylan cook or or you now waiting for those guys till the third quarter look you know they've spent we're spending some time talking about this but they invested a lot in this offensive line in the last couple of off Seasons draft picks um high draft picks two first rounders you know money and free agency and you know they've created quite a bit of depth oh yeah 100% And I wonder back to that original question with Jones assuming he goes starts at right goes to left I bet he's the first one out of that second five that's what I'm saying that's I'm think throw cook in there at the end of the second quarter or something you know and close it out or play the ball of the second half that would make sense to me I mean you got 10 and nine of them are going to be active tomorrow they're all going to play a fair amount I would think and I would think you would want to give somebody an opportunity and again it's not like they're you know closing a hand over their eyes and throwing names at a dart board I mean they have some ideas of who should be the next guys in like we just talked about you went to OTAs did you show up at your meetings on time did you translate that out into the practice field even if it's just mirroring a guy and not being physical although there like we said there's been a lot of physical stuff too I mean do they have their eye on a young lineman who might have an opportunity to impress and you talk about maybe making somebody available for a trade in that instance yeah yeah 100% And then also just sticking with the line we've talked a lot about those 10 guys I'm really guilty of this I haven't paid hardly any attention to the 11 through whatever else is still on the roster because they they have no shot of making the roster they have no shot as of right now there's a chance one of those guys is good you know what I mean or at least a practice squad guy but I have paid very little attention to that group and you're going to have probably one of them is going to be on the practice squad well and the tough part of it is is that because they are 10 Deep on the offensive line there with guys you think are going to make the roster those guys are running third third team I know I mean and you just don't know yeah I mean Plum's out there and guys I mean that's they're in a tough situation so for one of them to shine is really difficult but they will be mopping up in fourth quarters you know for three weeks that'll give him an opportunity to uh tape out there yeah put some tape out there and see you know maybe they you know are better than than you know what everybody seems to think but I you know if if you were an undrafted offensive lineman at this point and this team has drafted five offensive linemen in the last two years you're not coming here uh no and same with next year yeah yeah right and it's not a not a great landing spot because you're not going to have much of an opportunity returned all five four of the five starters and have drafted Five Guys in the last two years on the offensive line your agent's going to be like yeah you know you're going to stand around a lot yeah yeah I mean we going to give reps to McCormack or you you know right it's tough and now but but credit someone like Dylan cook I mean he did he was once that guy you know he was once that third team dude that we didn't know when he came to his first camp and made enough of impression to make a career out of it you know do do you think Dale that the team's reputation for allowing a player like that to have a true opportunity would maybe get you get a guy into camp that you really liked at a crowded position as opposed to another team that might appear to have a little more opportunity I think opportunity outweighs some of that stuff just I mean you have to look at the numbers and realistically when you're in that situation all things being equal you're going to take the shot with the Steelers because they've shown over the years that that you know you can make it as an undrafted guy but when Team B has only three returning offensive linemen and they haven't drafted anybody and and okay they got six guys returning who made the roster last year that means there's probably three spots up for grabs I'm one there I'm going there if they're not giving me a dollar you you probably have to be cuz you'll at least get more preseason reps too right You' be able to put more on tape you'll probably you probably have to be the unders scouted overlooked guy who comes here because they called and nobody else did yeah and then you come here and and if you do and you are that guy you still have an opportunity because the Steelers you know they they have great depth a lot of times in a lot of positions and yet the do's still open the door right yeah guys have an opportunity and I'm really looking ahead here but you know Omar's been the GM now for two years and he's drafted a lot of offensive lineman I mean people didn't think much of the Spencer Anderson pick but even though they're young with James Daniels being the only one that could leave I still bet he uses a fifth or sixth round pick on offensive lineman again you know as opposed to going into that udfa market because you know you can pick and choose your dudes yeah I mean I I don't know but I mean five is a lot in in in two years I maybe next maybe next year you take that cuz you might you might need to draft a wide receiver there's other stuff you may not have all the picks that you might be shorter picks so you know who knows you know running back defensive line you know the cup been St I was just looking at where this roster was at last year to now I just feel like I we we went we talked about it last year all the time thatt how that team had depth across the board mhm this team has even more depth CL s close even at like defensive back where people are like well they got some question marks here I'm like I see guys there that are you know yeah especially if he counts suton as part of depth too knowing he's on the back burner and going to be back in his an NFL player that's corner is the one position where I'd like to be firmer on you or in my evaluation personally but like Anthony aett has played a lot of snaps in the league I think like him and Trice and rush and uh watts and all those dudes these three games could really make me feel a lot better about that depth yeah yeah uh but I just look at that you know in the you know greyland Arnold who we've talked about you know a guy that's played he's played a lot of snaps in the league um you know they've got guys there beyond the starters that you know I know people aren't overwhelmed by Dante Jackson and weren't when they made that trade he's a good football player I think he's good camp too yeah and adds to Team Speed that's for sure yep and you bring Deshawn Elliott in you have KZ as your third safety um look no team has unbelievable depth at every position so there's going to be a couple of positions where you're like okay well do they need a rece well that's why there's all the iuk talk right so and do you need one more defensive back on paper their depth looks very good on defensive line it looks very good at linebacker it looks solid at a number of other positions and where it's not where you're not it's not an ink that it's solid and of course you're a couple injuries away from having no dep at all it's

has pinned the Steelers back to the 15 yd line we're happy to be joined by Max Starks Max how we doing guys and as you saw the first possession offense got some movement stalled a little bit but Justin Fields look really clean now it's time for new line who this we got the young guys coming in and starting to make their statement we have Troy fatano the first round draft pick over on the right hand side of the line and then second your guy Spencer Anderson in at left guard brck Jones has moved from right to left back to you guys thank you Max and Fields is under Center ketto the fullback has moved back to make it an eye formation another fumbled snap and Fields tries to get it the ball is still loose and it looks like well looks like ketto has recovered for the Steelers so very very fortunate a second f snap it's that is boy boy that's going to create problems I know Pat Meyer the offensive line coach is going to say come off the next time they come off the field you two go over and snap like 35 times or something you know that is absolutely unacceptable but this is the first preseason game this is a lot of nerves and for somebody like Justin fields too you know I mean he's also working with a new center Nate they've worked together now for a couple weeks but still it's about repetitions broken eye to the right Fields under Center play action pass will roll out to his right looking getting towards the edge and now he's going to tuck it and run and run out of bounds after a short gain Crossing to 20 to about the 21 yd line which is where they will spot him out of bounds well you got van Jefferson get a little reverse roll out action you looking for somebody out in the flat you got Pat Uh fire move is down deeper in the field there and you got of course Van Ren out of bounds that's not going to help you're not eligible there van standing out of bounds ha to tell you to break that news to you no seriously this is one of those deals where you run out of real estate third and a long four with Fields trying to get the Steelers a first down since two receivers to the left has one to the right Fri move the tight end will settle in at the left side Warren left of quarterback fields in the shotgun third down Fields looking left now under pressure and down he goes he is sacked by denil Hunter Hunter coming off the left Edge brings him down for a sack and it'll be fourth down and a three and out for the Steelers well denil Hunter came off the edge and was rela relatively untouched until Troy fatano took him deep but then lost the edge as Hunter was able to wheel around Troy as he was trying to run him around the back end of the pocket and Justin didn't get out of Dodge in time and that's where the sack comes from Hunter one of the best in the business one of the huge signings for Houston in the off season so tank Dell back to receive this cam Johnston punt Johnson boots a long high end overend punt there's a flag on the play Dell takes it at the 35 yd line makes a move to the right sideline gets around the edge and Crosses into the 45 and is hit out of bounds late very late by pton Wilson we got a strum yeah the Texans don't like that at all it looked like he was well out of bounds when pton Wilson leveled tank Dell and so we have at least one flag we'll let the referee sort this out the referee today by the way is Alan e well one of the things that you have in punt coverage is you got to make sure to maintain your lanes maintain your Lanes be disciplined and then squeez to the ball and there we had an abject lesson in not maintaining leverage I believe it was Jonathan Ward was going down the field and he lost a little bit of that high shoulder leverage not able to turn the man in and towards the rest of the group so that is going to be Flair going out bounds on the kick number 82 the kicking team 5y penalty will be en forced from the end of the return first down Houston that's Dez Fitzpatrick and so no call on a hit out of bounds but excellent field position after the fine return by Dell for the Texans from aasher stadium with 707 remaining in the first quarter no score on the Steelers Football

yd Drive set up on a nice punt return by Tank Dell cash in and a 34 yd touchdown pass to tankel and take a s nothing lead Fair Baron with the boot and plumbley is going to take it right at the one yd line John rice plumbley gets to the 20 cuts to the right gets to the 25 now weaves towards the middle of the field with a flag behind him and now another flag rolls in as plumbley is taken down at the 29 yd line well you can see that the kickoff return team has got some things they got to work on you know and that's obvious with the new rules as such I certainly I you know it's confusing you see the kickers stand out there all by his Lonesome and I now you during the return illegal Block in the back number 29 of the receiving team correction holding number 29 on the receiving team 10yd penalty from Spa the foul first down Pittsburgh let's head downstairs now to Max Starks as the Steelers will take over with the ball inside their own 15 Max this is not where you want to put as wolf deems it the Smash Bash and Crash Crew down there but Mason McCormick Zack Frasier and Troy fanu all in the starting lineup in front of in Justin Fields getting one more series I believe this has to be the last series that you'll see him but all the new guys are now in the starting lineup for the Steelers offensive line back to you guys thanks Max ball at the 14 with the lone setback Naji Harris off the right side and Harris finding some room in barrels forward to the 20 yd line tonight's first half sideline reports are brought to you by B MGM the king of sports books please gamble responsibly gambling problem call 1 1800 Gambler okay so the first thing you notice with this young group The Young Guns here uh I see white jerseys going backwards you know oh I love that you know if if you're going to be a people mover you got to move people that was moving people on that play tightly bunched formation on second down and four from the 20 yd line Naji Harris to the left of fields the fake pitch and now they'll come back the other way to Pickin Pickin catches the ball in the right flat makes the man miss hurdles forward to the 30 yd line and knocked out of bounds there a nice pickup and a first down as Eric Murray bumped him out of Bounds at the 30 yd line can I tell you something that was a nice job of holding your water by Spencer Anderson and also by Justin Fields he had somebody in between him and George Pickins he was able to sidearm it out to the flat on a little wide receiver screen but Spencer Anderson could have gotten flag could have been in a bad position there but he held his water at first until he was able to have a block where he got in front of the guy van Jefferson moves from right to left across the formation Fields under Center the lone set back is Naji Harris Fields gets the snap fakes left now rolling back looking deep downfield throws fires to Jefferson catches him at the 50 yd line he's bumped out of bounds there first down for the Steelers Bullock the rookie is the man who knocked him out of bounds but a big gain for the Steelers right out to Midfield well van the man Jefferson didn't go into the Mystic he went into the mid field I got to tell you that was a nice job a nice route good throw by Justin Fields as he stepped in and showed that great arm he's got and zinging that big skin in there 20yd pickup 428 remaining here in the first quarter Jaylen Warren has checked in at the tailback position behind Fields under Center two tight ends in this formation Fields turns gives to Warren Warren bounces outside of the left and gets across Midfield picks up a couple Neville hwit in in the stop there defensively for the Houston Texans you know I don't want to say anything about the snap uh because it's going good now right now we don't seem to be having a problem here and I don't want to jinx anybody by saying that uh gee the snap looks pretty good by the way you should clean something up I don't think we mentioned Ryan Watts was the one with a holding penalty we're going to be keeping an eye on that special team absolutely want to make sure we make note of some of those things as we go through the course of this game Warren under Center and the hand off off the Le side gaping hole and Powers forward to the 40 yd line and he's going to have enough it appears for a first down they might Mark him just a little short let's see what they're going to do man that is one of those nice quick hitters and who do you call upon you got that Ballard busting backs on backers bully that is Jaylen Warren I mean this guy is terrific and hitting the hole early and he's also very confident in being able to make sure that he he picks up blitzes but that was a nice job with a quick hit and trap as Darnell Washington came down you got to say Washington rob you got to get that Washington in there it is a first down at the 40 yard line Naji Harris the lone setback gets the pitch to the right looking and cuts and now spins and gets inside the 40 to the 35 or so maybe the 36 let's call it a four yd gain at the 36 well we know Naji Harris has drops some weight and he's reportedly quicker he looks quick I got to tell you and he looks just as strong as just as tough as he has in the past with the added weight you'll love to see maybe that little extra loss of some poundage going to make him quicker out in the open on those wide ones yeah looked like that zone blocking thing where you take that one cut they talk about and then head up straight up field and that's where he did there now settling to the right of quarterback Fields Fields back to pass looking to the right fires has a man there complete Fields has been on the money van Jefferson picks up the first down and he is inside the 30 oh they're going to say he was out of bounds wow man that was close and I got to tell you something Justin Fields had some mustard on that Thro oh could be his right heel touch the white marker I don't know we got to see another view of that well new challenge RS if you win a challenge you only have to win one of the first two to get a third but Mike tomin is elected at this point not to throw the red challenge flag so third and six hard to tell whether that heel like you said did come out of bounds Fields back under pressure and Fields is going to be taken down by huitt a sack back at the 44 yd line there was pressure all along the front line for the Houston Texans and Fields is sacked and the Steelers will be forced to punt it away again they brought five or six Defenders right there it was tough to pick all of them up but they broke through and came in from the right side he got the ankles of Justin Fields before he could vomos out of that that pocket there unfortunately you know he he was so close to getting out you know his his warning beepers were going off and I thought oh he's going to make it but didn't quite yeah he's one of those guys if you can just sneak out of there great things can happen but he couldn't there and so Johnston forced to punt it away again end over end Sims calling for the fair Catch and will take it at the 8 yd line 127 remaining here in the first quarter and let's head down to Max Starks Max after that 35 yd punt all right guys obviously we're seeing Movement by Justin Fields we're seeing some great things happen and obviously some new things as you put in new offensive line in almost every single series trying to see what the best combinations are tough running for these Rooks but still showing good I saw a lot of good things in the Run game now let's see defensively if the young guys in there we're talking about the herings of the world the Peyton Wilson and of course desun Elliot see how they can do in this next series that they can stop this Houston Texas offense back to you guys being run Now by Davis Mills by the way field 6 for seven for 67 yds hand off off the right side and bottled up by the Steelers as Mills is checked in at the quarterback position and the hand off to pierce and Pierce is pretty much stopped right at the line of scrimmage oh but you know that's Larry Ogen JY that's uh pton Wilson that's again pton Wilson this guy is playing ball man and I think one of the things you love to see he's not making these tackles two or three yards downfield he's getting to the line of scrimmage to make these hits he's at the intersect point he's actually beaten sometimes the offensive line to that intersect Point Mills bring Schultz a tight end in motion he's in the shotgun back to pass looking will throw to the right heading down the sideline and a lot of contact down there Joey Porter Jr running stride for stride and they're going to call it on Robert uh the penalty as he was defending Robert Wood so looked like he kind of hauled him to the ground there pass interference number 24 defense the ball will be placed in Sp the foul automatic first down well that's one of the things that Joey Porter is known for very physical close style of play and he's there and I got to tell but you know you also got Robert Woods is hanging on to Joey too I mean there's a little bit of hand fighting going on here but I would have to say it's two to one on that yep two hands to one hand yeah looked like a pretty good call so the ball comes out to the 33 yd line which is where Mills will settle under center with Pierce behind him as a lone set back 45 seconds remaining in the first quarter Texans up 7 nothing pitch to Pierce Pierce Cuts back to the center of the field and we'll get out to about the 35 yd line short gain of about two yards Kiren Johnson in on the stop defensively for the Steelers well you like that pitch but you got Nick hering crashing from the outside forced the cut early it's one of those Zone blocking schemes and you got the bang bounce or or cut back where you're either going to bang it straight away you're going to bounce it to the outside or cut back and that was definitely cut back because Nick herig was came within a whisker pulling him down second and long 12 10 11 10 seconds out left in the first quarter Mills there is a 1 second differential does not have to snap the ball here but will looking now out to the right throws underneath too tall for Hutchinson with Porter in coverage and that will be the final play of the first quarter an incomplete pass with the Texans leading by the score of 7 nothing time to take and make the switch to the second quarter brought to you by nor nor West Bank score rates up to 4.5% apy on new

Network at aure Stadium first play of the second quarter as we're set to begin here with the Texans leading seven to nothing they have the ball third and eight on their own 35 yd [Music] line got a report did kananu Benton went into the Steelers locker room if we find out more we will certainly let you know goom gal Moves In Motion left to right empty set for Mills Texans are one of two on third down Mills back to pass looking under pressure and down he goes it is montravius Adams who comes in with a sack oh montravius the montravious one what a nice job of beating his man licky split getting up field and wrapping up the quarterback nothing like feeding him a little dirt losses six on the play will bring up a punting situation with quz Watkins back deep for the steel there's Tommy Townsen who banged a long 56y his first time back to boot it away for the Texans that was a nice little swim move by montravius got over the [Music] top Townsen gets the snap boots it away wobbling towards quz Watkins who will not feel it instead it will take a left kick and go out of bounds kicked a little toward the Steelers and then goes out of Bounds at about the 25 yd line a 44 yd punt so the Steelers will have decent field position that will wrap up the day for Justin field 6 for seven had a couple of fumbles looked sharp was also sacked overall your impressions you know what it was favorable uh you know I like what I saw thus far it was just initial little dousing of of a a player getting his feet wet in uh you know this Stadium here and I liked what I saw now obviously you want to get rid of the snap fumbles whatever whoever that's to blame doesn't matter you got to get that worked out but overall you know he threw the ball well Kyle Allen into the quarterback position in the pistol formation with Jonathan Ward behind him Ward gets the hand off to the left jump cut now heads up field gets to about the 29 yd line before he's taken down short pickup on first down for the Steelers 1402 and Counting here the Ste was trailing 7 nothing in the second quarter well you got Zack Frasier pulled from the center position got out in front got a piece of somebody and right there you had some penetration off the left side and so Jonathan Ward had to make a hard cut back to the inside and was able to get some positive some positive yardage second and eight coletto the fullback will settle in behind Allen under Center gives to Ward Ward bounces it outside to the left finds some room turns the corner and gets out near Mid field a beautiful run by Ward showing that acceleration they've been excited about the speed he's shown in Camp they've talked about the speed of this young man they've talked about the vision of this young man we just saw both come into play as Jonathan Ward had a nice little bounce to the outside and what a nice job of turning north and south and getting as much yard as you can get Mike Tomlin talks about this he talks about the surprises uh both negatively and positively that he finds out during the preseason this is one of those positives credit Scotty Miller who played last year in Atlanta a little bit under Arthur Smith for making a nice block turning that maybe into a 12 from a 12 yard gain into a 20 yard gain these receivers do have to block in this Arthur Smith offense play action pass now Allen back throws and has a man open and it is complete down inside the 20 to the 18 yd line Dez fist Patrick hauls that in another big gain for the Steelers now what I liked here ker was you got a late Blitz coming off a linebacker on the inside but Kyle Allen holds his water he ain't afraid right staring it down as a man is about ready to bring his Bell no baby he puts it right to the pocket of Dez Fitzpatrick you got to love that that's courage man when you can stare down a guy a Defender coming at you with smoke coming out of his ear holes that was delhon Phillips who laid a big whack on him beautifully thrown football Allen now under center with the ball at the 17 yd line following that 34 yd completion and Kurt hinish a little early activity there I would say Spencer Anderson that was a that was beautiful enough number 93 Defense 5 yard penalty first down that was beautiful enough you could have seen that in the Premier League you know over Great Britain well Anderson little dive Anderson was hit by hinish and stumbled back uh about 25 yards and then tumbled the Steelers are now entering the Hines Red Zone during Steelers season it has to be Hines so first in five now after that penalty darn it I wish I had done that when I was a player Allan Center Ward is the lone setback as Michael puit will settle to the right side of the formation two tight ends that way and Ward will head that way he'll bounce it outside now Cuts back gets to the 10 spins through a tackler and gets down to about the 8 yd line a pick up of about four on that play oh we got a little Skirmish Darnell Washington is my in what have called Mount Washington uh he got in a little tangle up with a Defender but what a nice job Jonathan Ward again and showing that Vision you know he takes a hand off but he sees things he's able to read the linebackers he's able to get into motion he's able to use that foot speed that the coaches talk about get himself outside then to cut up field what a nice job second and one ball at the8 yd line Allen is in the shotgun he has Ward to his left now Ward will move over to the right Allen back to pass looking looking over the middle of the field has a man there it is caught complete and down wrestled down at the 5 yd line is Austin so going to be Scotty Miller I beg your pardon Miller with the reception down to the five well it's nice because as Kyle Allen is going through his progression he's looking towards the end zone looks a little deeper then you know what check it down to Scotty on a little drag Rod across the middle nice job of communicating of being able to get that ball to a guy get that positive yardage get that first down by the way I met Kyle alen parents out outside the stadium there earlier nice people very nice people first and goal from the five two tight ends to the left of the formation L Michel Pine is the running back gets the ball off the left side picks his way forward and gets down to about the 2 yd line so a pick up of about three on that first down run you know what I love you got the Morgantown merer that Zack Frasier in there just trying to mangul somebody in the end zone I love that you got to play right side and surging forward and gets down to the the one didn't look like there was much there but the push just kept happening it kept happening because the Morgantown merer was leading the charge he's in that pile the pile started to move you got a lot of guys putting that extra ham hack power to good use Frasier driving in there rri Jones continuing to drive the young people this is what you want to see that effort from snap to whistle AR just outside the one ketto again will motion back into the eye formation Ward is the running back Ward gets the hand off and Ward is hit in the back field and swallowed up for a loss of one in the play back to the 2 yd line oh you hate to see a negative play in a low Red Zone this is unfortunate you know you everything's been going they're starting to get things going and I think Spencer Anderson got driven back a little bit a little bit of trouble there young man's had a very good camp till now and he certainly he's he's doing well you know one play does not make a bad camp or pre-season game that's for sure well we hear the crowd cheering fourth two the Steelers are going for here at Acer Stadium under 840 remaining in the second quarter Steelers down 7 nothing Allen in the shotgun has three receivers to the left of the formation gets the snap looking left firing Corner The End Zone wide open but overthrown to Calvin Austin he was wide open and it's incomplete beautifully designed play had Austin open in the corner of the end zone but Allen overshot him so the ball will go over on Downs at the 824 Mark of the second quarter

a goal line stand 824 remaining in the second quarter they lead the Steelers 7 nothing as we go downstairs to Max Starks I know guys there's frustration about not converting in the low Red Zone being on the two this looked like seven shots drill wolf uh you know the drill defense wins some offense wins some right there a perfectly executed back shoulder fade by Kyle Allen but he kind of put too much loft on it Calvin aw was too open I dare I say that word and he double caught the pass but once again it's pre-season new staff new Personnel this is a glorified practice with live elements to it so we can't be too hard on them but we want to see more back to you guys thank you Max Starks under Center is quarterback Davis Mills a go B and the broken eye will get the handoff straight up the middle hit penetration is able to stagger forward and get out to about the 5 yd line the Marvin Leal got into the back field and tripped him up a little but Aon Bale was able to get out to the 5 yd line for a pickup of about 2 and a half on first down yeah but that was ruckit Ralph down there along with Mark Robinson and Isaiah loudermill just created a lot of penetration but demarvin leel who I lovingly referred to as reca Ralph did a nice job of bowling ball the backside cut off guys and creating a pile stacked them up like cordwood he did those bring Stover in motion broken eye to the right behind him under Center Mills hands to aun Bale trying the right side and he will surge forward for a couple of yards running into Marvin Le's Direction once again Jeremiah Moon has a whole bunch of Steelers in there on the stop a short gain off the right side I like that you know you don't need a singular tackle or you know you want to bring the boys want to get all the boys in on it that's Jeremiah Moon that's wreck Ralph de Marvin leel I think uh I think we also had pyton Wilson was in there too that guy's in everything he has been very active he is get zuk's man that that young boy is all over the place third and four the ball at the 8 yd line Mills is back in the shotgun looking fires underneath and it's batted and incomplete as montravius Adams got a big hand up there and deflected that pass and it's a quick three and out for the Texans you know montravius is coming to the sideline going TJ who you I knocked the ball down I got a sack hey you know who needs them I you got montravius Adams here nice job by the young man look when you see you're not getting penetration you see that quarterback eyeballing what could be a drag route man you get your hands up and he did and when you don't convert boy you'd love to get that ball right back hopefully in good field position here as towns in back in his end end zone to receive this snap quz Watkins back at the 40 yd line to receive high booming punt by Townsen and Watkins goes back inside his 35 lost the handle and lost the football it was the Texans who will recover and it looks like Hill on the recovery for the Texans oh that was wow that's a misjudgment and of course he gets you backing up and then mishandle it and then the Cardinal C he can't didn't get back on it you got to get back on it we see quz Watkins got back and he just it got over his shoulder and then you've got to go after the ball and it is Brandon Hill who recovers that muff punt a 57 yd Boomer and a muff on the other end and the Texans have excellent field position and you know who in in some Insidious little way might be enjoying this is Mike Talman good let me see what my defense can do now we got some adversity Mike tomin is always about using adversity to see how his players respond whether it's a morning practice after Friday Night Lights or something else to that matter it's about how you respond and he's always interested in how his guys will respond I think it's interesting too that they've been you know talking about special teams they have a lot of new guys to replace there the big punt return set up the short field that led to a Houston touchdown and now a muffed punt on the other end has put the Texans in excellent field position no question about it special team are huge in the preseason as they are throughout the season but at this point it's more want to than how to Mills under Center ball at the 30 yd line of the Steelers play action pass rolling out to his right throws for Mei and into and out of his hands incomplete with Wilson and Trail coverage a mey an interesting story for fans he was the young man taken out of Alabama second round pick by leukemia and came back after missing his rookie season to play last year part of a very crowded Houston Texans wide receiver group and won a nice job again of pton Wilson man coverage following his man and able to get on his heels even though the ball was dropped it's still disruptive when you got a man diving at your legs Mills in the shotgun formation has Aon ball to his right two receivers to his left looking out that way now Under Pressure throws back to the right has Kate Stover the tight end wide open Stover gets inside the 15 down to the 13 drag down there by pton Wilson well somebody came off the corner he had a blitz and the and and the quarterback was able to to duck away from beanie Bishop came off the corner and somebody picked him up at the back at right at the last end and on a little bit of Route it looks like it was pton Wilson in coverage yeah rookie on rookie there K Stover rookie selection as was pton Wilson for the Steelers and Stover gets the best of that ball at the 14 yd line bills under Center play action pass rolls to his right under pressure and down he goes de Marvin Leal takes him down at the 25 yd line that's just sheer Wreck-It Ralph power you got to love that getting up field even though he's got a guy hanging onto him the Marvin leel shows some of the good stuff he's been displaying at camp with some good physical play getting up the field not allowing the quarterback not losing the leverage on that quarterback making sure to post him up inside and then get off the block and bring the man down this season the law firm of Boris and Boris will make a $500 donation to the Ronald McDonald House for every sack by the Steelers defense this preseason and regular season Boris and Boris fighting for justice second and 21 Mills back throws out quickly to the left has Mei there Mei will be taken down almost immediately in the left flat a short pickup there kayin Barnes on the tackle for the Steelers so that'll bring up a third and 15 for the Texans yeah just a little outpattern there by Robert Woods and kayen Barnes just wrapped him up and slammed him down it's you know that's part of what Mike Talman calls routine plays made routinely you don't miss the tackles you understand what the down and distance is you know the Personnel make the routine play done routinely so third and 15 the ball at the 20 yd line Mills in the shotgun two receivers to each side of the formation back looking left under pressure steps forward throws complete to Robert Woods Woods will haul it in and get inside the five and down to the four yd line and it looks like that is going to be enough for a first down on a third and 15 Mills steps in the pocket we've seen him do that a couple times did it on the completion of St and now steps in Under Pressure here and finds Woods well Kiron Johnson just whiffed on a possible sack opportunity got off the edge disengaged from The Tackle and came around running a nice tight Arc around the back door but he was not able to bring Davis Mills down who was able to shrug off that attempt to tackle and be able to find his receiver hence the first down hun B in the broken eye To the Left Behind Mills will get the pitch he's going to try the left side and then squares the shoulders and gets into the end zone Aon Bal picks up the touchdown from four yds out for the Texans and they go up by two touchdowns well whenever you see jerseys of a certain color facing the opposite direction from which they started down there you know it's going to be a bad play we had some guys get turned around and that's a good job by the Houston offensive line coming off the ball and moving people and by the way that's an old stealer there not an old Steeler but a former Steeler Kendrick green uh handing out some some some friendly stuff from Days of your I would suspect it is a talented Texans offensive line with a second round pick at left tackle Kendrick green at left guard so they have a little bit of depth as well six play 30 yd Drive capped off here by the extra point 2 minutes and 58 seconds and with 252 remaining from Acure Stadium Steelers football continues with the score the Texans 14 in this steel there's nothing where the a

Stadium Adar aun bal4 yd touchdown run has the Texans up 14 to nothing 352 remaining as we get set for the kickoff fa Baron oo this is going to be a short one now that should be whistle dead it is it landed at the 35 yd line and so the Steelers will get the ball at the 40 yd line now this is part of that rule if it lands short of that kick off short of the landing Zone on number 15 the ball will be placed the 40 yd line first down Pittsburgh well there it's explained extremely well isn't it by Alan e the referee the ball at the 40 because it didn't land between the 0 and 20 in that Landing Zone here the latest NFL scores brought to you by clear viw Federal Credit Union your financial partner for Life clear viiew fcu.org Atlanta Miami 1010 that game's in the second quarter and Baltimore leading Philadelphia 3 nothing that game in the first quarter in Baltimore all right right now we got Still Troy fatano is in a right tackle we got Spencer Anderson Zack Frasier Mason McCormack at the left guard and broadrick Jones at the left tackle and Kyle Allen under Center Michael perine is the lone set back behind him Texans showing Blitz now they back off a little bit play action pass Allen back sets up the screen and too tall for the Michael perine too bad because they had some blockers out there and played Just disrupted a little bit delhon Phillips was the only Defender out there the Steelers had three blockers but again the play just a little bit off Kil during the pass goes incomplete well disruptive timing and you know one of the things that they've been doing in training camp in the Arthur Smith offense is screens and I love screens screens are great because you can get those defensive lineman rushing like crazy you can slide on out if you're a good actor as Chuck null used to say you got to be a good actor let them think that they're beating you and then you go out and you clean their clocks pery to the left of quarterback Kyle Allen on his second and 10 from the 40 Allen back and now will give to perine perine will Square the shoulders head I feel the flag comes flying in way from the back judge a pickup of about four 342 remaining here in the second quarter and let's get the call here from referee Allan e i talking things over here I couldn't tell the offensive lineman illegal use of the heads to the face number 94 defense 5y penalty from the of the Run automatic first down well that's what I was going to say if it was on the offensive line and they hit it Well normally offensive line you got to be careful that you don't okay yeah khil Davis yeah he got it all over Zack Fraser didn't move the Morgantown merer at all though so the ball's at the 49 yd line that is a tough ombre 3 and A2 minutes and remaining here or and Counting here in the second quarter Allen back looking to throw going to Loft it deep down the right sideline intended for Miller and out of bounds incomplete bulock caught it sprawling out of bounds for the Texans but well out of bounds on that and so it'll be a second and 10 from just inside midfield for the Steelers 38 remaining the Steelers trailing 14 to nothing here at aasher Stadium to the Houston Texans well Scotty Miller was hoofing it down the sidelines on a go route covered by a defensive back and safety over the top rolling his way and there was nowhere to go with the ball fortunately he was out of bounds tight end Mike prit moving right now back to left two tight ends to that side with the lone set back perine behind Allen on a second and 10 and the give to perine perine will bounce it outside then cut back to the middle of the field and get a couple of yards as he crosses Midfield and gets into Texan's territory that play had more promise than then result but when it first started off I thought wow if pyan is able to Mono Mano he takes that hand off he bounces it to the outside and if he can just get back get by defensive back Moss he's got something cooking there but he wasn't able to as he was one-on-one brought down Steelers are 0 for four on third down as Allen breaks the Huddle at the 245 Mark of the second quarter trips to the right of the formation and now Hayward will move from the right to the left so two receivers on each side Jonathan Ward is a setback behind Allen Allen back to pass he'll set up the screen to Ward Ward brings it in Ward is going to get to the 45 yd line of the Texans up the left side of the field but brought down well short of a first down again that's another nice setup on the screen pass but it looked like and by the way looks like Mason mcor's got a little hitch in his get along there but it was a good job of setting it up except for the peel guy you got to peel back and make sure that you pick up anybody trailing from behind that can make an inside out defensive play such as was that was just made now it's time for the two-minute warning timeout with the score the Texans 14 the Steelers nothing this is the Pittsburgh Steelers audio

nothing in the first preseason game for the Steelers second for the Texans let's head downstairs to Max Starks Max all right guys two-minute warning here and for the first preseason game a lot of good also a lot to work work on down here we've seen sacks by guys that we wanted to see take a jump this season namely montrais Adams and of course de Marvin Le offensively Run game has had its moments where they've been powering and just mowing down the uh Houston Texas defense but it comes down to more efficiency Justin fields did a great job of getting the ball out but we had some CQ exchange issues Kyle Allen a couple of overthrows in this first half one on the screen on the last Drive of this last drive also the uh the play to Calvin Austin in the back uh corner of the end zone so still not bad this is a preseason game but we've seen as just as much good as we have bad so far back to you guys Max thanks very much and you'd think maybe some of the things on special teams that as he mentioned the exchange between the quarterback and the center a couple penalties some some things to clean up look there's a lot of things to clean up but that's the nature of preseason games and let's remember Houston's already had one under their belt and the punt trickles into the end zone known by Johnston and so with 152 remaining the Houston Texans will take over at the 20 yd line from

network coverage will begin at 5 pm. 152 remaining here in the first half Texans have the ball at the 20 yd line after the Johnston punt trickled into the end zone enjoying this 14 to nothing lead and nice three and out here maybe get the crowd going get the ball back see if you can score before the half about a takeway let's get a takeaway baby huh little something that works Mills under Center brings St left to right across the formation as JJ Taylor has his lone setback Sims now in motion Jet Sweep it goes to sim crosses the 20 to the right side out to the 25 and Out of Bounds at the 27 yd line gain of seven for the former Steeler Steven Sims boy he really smoked the corner on that one a little jet uh jet formation action there moot I'm sorry jet motion action and and uh was Ryan Watts didn't get out there enough to come up and force him in Get The Edge Julius wof the international player coming in and trying to make something happen he's flashed a little bit up at training camp yeah he has and it's not just his German accent second and three they give to Taylor up the middle Cuts back to the left stumbles forward across the 30 and picks up first down yardage for the Texans and would that be beanie Bishop that just made a little entree into coming down and making a hit on the inside there I think it was beanie Bishop WVU yeah coming down crashing off the corner getting a piece of the back that's a nice job good job being he's tough guy minute 22 and count Ing and the Texans showing no great lacity coming out of the Huddle Mills in the shotgun has Taylor to his right now back to pass looking out to the left and fires underneath it is complete to John meie M's driven down watts in in the tackle along with beanie Bishop ball at the 37 yd line Texans still not showing any real signs of hurrying up here as we're under a minute now remaining in the first half well me you just sat down a little window on underneath on a little option route there in the zone then it was quickly gobbled up but no they're not showing any sort of uh desire to get moving here under 45 seconds remaining Mills in the shotgun back looking looks out to the right and hit as he throws and close is this intercepted no they're going to say it is not Watts a tumbling effort he says he has it but the officials say you don't have it oh that would have been nice to get a bingo here Ryan Watts sitting back and he gets his arm hit who is that that behind that was louder milk with that six oh looks like a catch oh I don't know I think maybe underneath him looks like yeah looks you can see I don't know the ball does move but his arm looked to be under it well don't take away my joy now ker yeah doesn't look like the Steelers want to look at this so louder mil and Watt almost the interception Mills back to pass looking will throw underneath has a man wide open and inside the 50 and down to the 48 a line is Steven Sims before beanie Bishop chases him out of bounds he got a little Crossing route underneath beanie Bishop at huit just Manning up running with him Sims we know has got some [Music] speed and now 31 seconds remaining the clock is stopped the ball is at the 48 yd line of the Steelers Texans have all three timeouts as do the Steelers tailor to the left of quarterback Mills in the shotgun three receiver to the right Mills gets the snap will look out to the right throws underneath to Stover Stover along the right sideline is going to be taken down at the 40 yd line and quickly a timeout call is Watts on the tackle there for the Steelers with 25 seconds remaining the ball at the 40 yd line in a second and two for the Texans well he just got a little release in the flap by the tight end Ryan Watson coverage comes up makes a nice decisive tackle keeps him in bounds makes him use a timeout which is good [Music] but such as life you know it's obviously the Texans are in no hurry to uh it looks like they're just positioning for a field goal right and that they may be perfectly happy with that they may be again it's a preseason they may want to work on field goal well they want yeah you know I mean that's one of the things that you got to do is you get reps in all positions so that you got it on film we'll see how this goes but right now tonight has not been a poor representation it's just simply a first roll out and that's one of the things you look at some that you you got take this and go and make the corrections sort of standing around a little bit and now we have the whistle that play can begin with 25 seconds remaining the ball right at the 40 yd line in a second and two Mills will send Taylor out in motion to the left so empty set two receivers to each side Mills back looks to the right underneath it is complete and down to the 30 yd line BD bishop and Robinson make the tackle it's Woods the veteran who gets the ball to the 30 and another quick timeout with 20 seconds left now remaining and the Texans have the ball down at the 30 yd line of the Steelers well there's the Texans are starting to have the look of a team matriculating their way down the field I would say as Hank stram so famously said you know I actually roomed with his son his son um I can't remember his first name but it was scram and we were in the uh blue uh the IND no blue gray game down in Mobile Alabama oh in your days in Syracuse yes back in the days of Syracuse yes but obviously that was players from all over the country yes right yeah yeah I I failed to put all the details in there but so now a first and 10 the ball at the 30 yd line 20 seconds remaining Mills empty set three receivers to the left two to the right Mills is looking to the left now we'll come back to the right pump fake throws underneath has his man it's woods again and woods squares the shoulders and gets to the 18 yd line outside the numbers on the right side of the field and another quick timeout for the Texans Texans with 11 seconds remaining here in the half and we go down to Max Starks Max all right guys injury update uh keano Benton has an eye and will not return for the rest of this contest so I mean I would have thought he would have been shut down anyways but that is the that is the most recent news so he is down he is out for the rest of the game back to you guys Max thanks very much disappointing news hope it's not too serious tonight's injury report was brought to you by Independence expert care here well as the late great my brother T chilin used to say it's better than a poke in the eye but it was a poke in the eye yeah that's yeah that could be it hopefully it's just a poke in the eye right so the ball now is at the 18 yd line 11 seconds left Texans are out of timeouts up 14 to nothing Mills back to pass looking now we'll just fling it out of bounds as nobody was open just over the closest was being guarded out there closely by pton Wilson so now 6 seconds remaining let's see whether the Texans will take one more shot at this or send out the field goal unit they will do the lad and fair Baron and the kick unit will come out for the Texans one disappointing thing that in this last Drive was there were a couple occasions where the Steelers had an opportunity I thought to get some saturations to get some some hits on the quarterback and they didn't finish the the pass rush they didn't get the guy to the ground ball spotted at the 26 so it'll be a 36y field goal attempt and here's the kick it is up it is right down the middle by Fair Baron and it is a 17 nothing lead for the Texans with three seconds remaining here in the first half and the only thing that's good about this right now for either coach is that they get to work on the kickoff play again exactly so yet again we have another repetition of the dynamic kickoff and you got to call it the dynamic kickoff right I guess that's what makes it Dynamic is it's Dynamic well they so what happened was the NFL obviously they were discouraging kick returns for a while because of all the injuries but last year was down to 21% the lowest it's ever been and the NFL thought well we got we have to get this play back into the game somehow but reduce the injury so this is what they've come up with and most of the returns last year were between the 21 and the 30 about 88% 6% inside the 20 6% went beyond that they're hoping more will go beyond that well we've seen already one bad kick take it out to the 40 well all I can say is that they've eliminated the possibility that you know if you're on the back side of the wall and you're coming around the corner and by goly there's the kicker there with one bar you have an opportunity to put him down which I did and it was fun it was a mercy shot that's all here's the kick by Fair Baron and fair Baron will send it deep it is going to be taken by Jonathan w at the goal line starts out to the right Cuts back to the left and Ward will be tripped up and get out to the 25 yd line on what will be the final

Steelers back at aasher Stadium getting set for the second half with the Texans leading the Steelers 17 to nothing tonight's second half preview is brought to you by PA lottery Play PA Lottery online and get a firsttime deposit match up to $1,000 players must be 18 or older please play responsibly benefits older pennsylvanians every day wolf well let me just say this the beauty of tonight's game in my mind is the purity of the mono imano matchups that are occurring very little game planning it's vanilla with a fist full of adrenaline and that's what it's about tonight but it's the highlights it's who whips his man remember like the former World Wrestling Champion Ric Flair once said if you want to be the man you got to beat the man woo all right complete with the woo baby well the Steelers will kick it off Unfortunately they were hoping to get plenty of use out of their kick coverage team plenty of woo come on we need some woo this is the first time we're going to see it with Matthew Wright doing the kicking Steven Sims and Xavier Hutchinson back deep in that receiving zone for the kick team between the zero and the 20 yd line as we get ready here for the second half of action whistle is blown right with the approach kick is up and it's booted deep and it is going to be taken by Hutchinson at the three yd line crosses the 10 the 15 the 20 head straight up the middle gets to the 28 yd line and a little bit of a scrum pushes forward to about the 30 as we head downstairs to Max Starks Max all right coach Tomlin was asked at halftime what do you think about the first half performance obviously said they're very upset about the little things the the misplays the penalties the MU passes and the CQ exchange but he was also asked what does he think about montravius Adam to Marv he said it's something that's carried over from Camp into the games he wants to see them continue to do that back to you guys thank you Max that is some of the good news as Tim boo checks in a quarterback in hands to cam Acres Acres straight up the middle of the field gets to about the 33 yd line if you're a football fan you kind of like to see cam Acres out there two Achilles heels uh injuries wolf it's hard enough to come back from one he's trying to come a couple here I can't even imagine how agonizing that's got to be but certainly you know you're glad to see a guy get back out here nice job there in the middle of the defense you got Mark Rob Payton Wilson the tusome providing some high voltage hit hit ability in the middle of that defense I like it Isaiah laudermilk was also in on that hit and I do believe we had a Logan Lee sighting he is checked into the game opening seconds here of the third quarter as Bole empties the Back Field throws out quickly to acres Acres Cuts back back to the middle of the field from the left and gets across the 40 and picks up a first down for the Houston Texans I guess who would that be Logan Lee after rushing the quarterback he turned around High tailed it out to the flat to get in on the tackle that's good stuff good turning by pton Wilson uh you need a little better stuff from Jeremiah Moon maybe coming up making a hit a little bit cleaner but uh certainly Jeremiah Moon he's interesting that's a big long body at the outside linebacker position I think that young man's got some real football left in him I'd like to see him use it to the max appeared at the end of last season with the Baltimore Ravens signed by the Steelers in the off season broke an eye to the right Bole back to pass looking to the left and throws and it is complete tumbling out of bounds with the catch is Xavier Hutchinson a pickup of about four yds out to the 45 yd line well that's just a a little pitch and catch little out pattern throw that baby out there and you got kayin Barnes that's in coverage right there and it's very difficult you can't gave no room nice flat out route by the receiver so that you couldn't undercut that as a defensive back that's pretty good football one of the things that Mike tomman talked about was the Texans had that first game we mentioned it earlier and they have seemed kind of crisp out here haven't they wal oh there is I mean getting a full game up on another opponent is is huge and off to acres off the left side Acres gets to the 45 skips outside near Midfield and Crosses into Steelers territory very close to first down yardage and these are the details that Mike Tomlin was talking about details what what do you mean well you got to set the edge you cannot get uh get reach blocked by a tight end or a tackle out there you've got to set the edge and that's just something that's one of the main stats of defensive play you have to have your Edge seted you got Edge rushers you got Edge Setters hope you your Edge rushers are as good as your Edge Setters and your Edge Setters as good as your Edge rushers yeah that was Jeremiah Moon who looked like he got hook just a little bit inside there and now on a third and short straight up the middle and looks like it's going to be a first down very close actually the Steelers kind of uh you know stop Moon the guy we just talked about crashing into to stop Acres right at the first down Mark and de Marvin Leal says you don't have it cam ACR says yes we do you know I got I'm really impressed with de Marvin Leal he's come in and had a very good camp we've seen him make some big plays tonight the young man is uh in terrific shape you can tell uh just watching him you know in Camp you see what he brings every day and there's a nice tackle that was by jerem my moon crashing from the outside and a good job he did and bringing that guy down when you mentioned Le you're talking about one of the guys that you identify as a young player who could still have some upside we've seen flashes and he has looked very good up in L tro Acres the lone setback play action pass Bole looking Bole going to fire deep has a man down there it's Sims and Sims off the top of his head it looked like with Barnes in coverage and incomplete I got to tell you something that that looked like circuit 1981 when I was running a a go pattern down at at Three River stadium in warm-ups and Terry Bradshaw was lofting the pass down there and it gonged off my helmet and Bradshaw said you're fired don't you ever run in the with the wide receivers warming up again that thing just that was an El kaber man that hit the helmet of Sims at about the five and bounced well through the end zone and off The netting I think it was huge should have seen what what Brad us ball did second and 10 a good bo back looking will throw to scaron and scronic bobles it's Ben scaroni the wide receiver they picked up from the Rams last season bobbled it out and the flat was wide open and it'll bring up a third and 10 now despite the fact that the ball was thrown a little behind him that was well within his catchability range and this is what Mike tomman talks about routine plays made routinely for the Texans that would have been one uh there's other things too like for offensive lineman it's about no preest penalties routine plays routinely Texans are four of seven on third down this is a third and 10 o with acres to his left and the shotgun has three receivers to his right one to the left o back to pass looking and throws and batted up into the air incomplete it was intended for scronic it was Anthony a and coverage the ball agonizingly in the air that turnover you were looking for Wolf was there but but nobody could get there to Coral it Anthony Everett again showing some good ball sense ball reaching in coverage was right there got a a nice hit on the back and it or on the receiver and Miles KBW almost pulled that thing off man that would have been nice Scotty Miller back in punt formation to receive the Tommy Townsen boot Townsen goes end over end and Miller wants to call a timeout who's run into by his own man and now he's going to take a very favorable Steeler bounce landed at the 15 yd line and ricocheted forward to the 22 it was down there at the 1103 Mark where the Steelers will take over from Acer Stadium Steelers football continues with the score the Tex in 17 the Steelers nothing sometimes even the toughest of us need a little TLC if you're a Steeler's linebacker that might be a jump on the whirlpool to let

Pittsburgh Steelers audio Network 11:03 remaining third quarter Steelers first possession of the second half let head downstairs stairs to Max Starks uh coach Tom had one more note to say at halftime about the offense and Kyle Allen in the quarterback rotation Kyle Allen's going to stay in until they see some success and then assess from there so as noted right now you will see Kyle Allen in this game he will be participating until I guess we see a good Steelers drive or a touchdown back to you guys Max thank you very much the Steelers have the ball at their own 22 yd line Allen under Center and gives off the left side to Aaron Shanklin Bang into the hole and still drives for Champlin not the biggest guy Harvard grad though economics major exactly so you know I mean not what you expect me being the great acum Edition that I was but you know what you had there you got a little penetration Zack Frasier got knocked back a little bit but here's the thing I loved the Morgantown merer stayed on it young man got to pushing and shoving and driving to the whistle and help shenlin able to get that yardage because if he hadn't it it wouldn't have got that far and Jamal Hill hit him hard in the hole but champin kept going now to the right of Allen in the shotgun formation Allen back surveying the field steps forward feeling the pressure now will roll out to his left throws on the run it is complete cross across the 45 yd line a nice spin move out to the 50 goes Calvin Austin and boy showing some great quickness there as he cuts back to the middle of the field to pick up the first down for the Steelers well what I liked was Kelvin Austin after Kyle Allen got swallowed up by the rush flushed out of the pocket well Calvin Austin stays there and goes parallel with Kyle Allen giving him a nice easy target to hit as he's running to the outside that's great job of keeping your head by Kyle Allen his guys are swiping at him he just moves down there and sitting all by his Lonesome was Calvin Austin 24 yd pickup now under Center wh out to the left throws underneath and it is complete by Dez Fitzpatrick flag comes flying in late as Fitzpatrick tumbles Out of Bounds at the 41 yd line of a pickup of nine Fitzpatrick is seeming to indicate that whatever the penalty flag is is on the Texans something happened there we'll see what's going on holding number 83 offense 10 yard penalty replay first down well that would be a Hayward yeah that uh whatever de Patrick said did not convince the officials so it's on Hayward it'll be a 10-yard penalty and it will negate a 9yd pickup and will take the Steelers back to their own 39 yd line to bring up a first and 20 you know Kyle Allen does very well when he moves you know he gets on the move it's like he opens up and he's able to see things more Allen has Champlin to his right in the shotgun and they give to Champlin quick hitter off the left side Champlin squares the shoulders and gets back close to the original line of scrimmage will'll pick up about nine on that run pretty much straight up the middle and that big huge superhuman body that flew over the top of shamlin at the end was of course Mason McCormack as he's pulverizing and putting a little jelly on his work there that's how you finish right there Mason McCormack that's a great way you finish you drive your man to the ground good job Mason second and 11 ball at the 48 yd line Allen goes empty set three receivers to the right two receivers to the left Allen back looking with fire to the right complete to Jer J shakes out of a tackle crosses the 40 knocked out of Bounds at the 36 yd line good crisp throw by Allen nice work by Jenkins on the other end first down Steelers you know what's interesting I was sitting there thinking he's a little late maybe he's a little late no it was just in time that's exactly the timing that Kyle Allen needed and wanted and Dre Jenkins provided beautiful job of coming back just a hair to the ball just enough to make sure you secure the catch then it's about tucking getting North and South getting what you can 8:15 remaining as the Steelers penetrated into Texans territory here in the opening drive of the third quarter for them that one rolling out to the right looking throws underneath the Hayward and Hayward is dragged down for a loss on the play a nice job defensively by Jacob Phillips the linebacker for the Texans well you got a hide route you got Connor Hayward coming across behind the Aline of scrimmage giving a little bit of you know he doesn't even have to crouch down he's short enough he can hide behind that offensive line but Phillips was right there in coverage was able to drag him down and and and put him to the ground so a loss on the play will make it second and 12 at the 38 yd line Phillips will move the running back Champlin to his right has two receivers to each side of the formation Allen claps his hands bends his knees claps his hands again then moved and did not get the snap clearly wanted the snap little miscommunication it'll be a penalty B start number four offense 5y penalty second down all right well let's see right here he got the hand clap oh yeah yeah and he's trying not to wobble you know even quarterbacks forget the snap sometimes yes they do you know uh that's the way it goes you got a lot of things going on last of all the snap second and 17 now Allen back looking to his left going to Loft that way has a man wide open it's Calvin Austin at the 20 Austin makes some mooves spins back toward the middle of the field and as wrestled down at the 17 Austin on a little Post Corner was wide open and what a nice job this time unlike In The End Zone when he threw a flag route to Calvin Austin and led him too much in the face of a rush again Kyle Allen sitting there and he's got celvin Austin who he hits within just several steps of the sidelines beautiful job a good ball placement nice job of not rushing it because of the rusher coming in your face 25 yd pickup the Steelers are now entering the hinded Red Zone during Steelers season it has to be Hinds here's Jonathan Ward gets the pitch heading out to the right patiently waiting picks up a block late nice job out there on the Right End by bradick Jones the right tackle to pick up a late block and allow Ward to pick up about three yards in the play I'm telling you what 274 Houston Texans just barely beat the block by broadrick Jones coming out there he was leading I'm telling you that is a thundering hoof that man coming out there you could feel him coming before you saw him coming now that's when you bend down low as used got out of the way second and seven ball in the 15 yd line Allen in the shotgun Allen back will hand off to Ward Ward banged now trying to get to the outside flag behind the play stumbles gets back up ridden back down to the ground and there's a flag on the play behind this as well as Malik Fischer made the tackle out on the right flat but but it looked like there was some room there he banged into his own man and then again the flag is going to be a hold on the Steelers too much penetration sorry ker didn't mean to step not at all too much penetration there and you got a pulling guard and it gets into the pulling guard Gap that's tough oding number 49 offense M de climb third down well they prefer the third and seven with the ball at the 17 yd line yeah you got a little bit of action there with bradick Jones got to make sure shot off off the water on on the inside Rush of the guys you know that's just part of the details the routine plays done routinely that's not an awfully hard block but you got to get your head across in front and and make sure to nullify that man's charge so a third and nine now they're calling it Allen back to pass looking to the left now doesn't like what he sees rolls out to the left he can run and he has room crosses the 10 gets down to the five and slides down for a first down at the 6yd line oh yeah this is what we want you want to see some legs Kyle Allen says I'll show you some legs indeed he gets out there on the perimeter and you can see he's going to tuck that ball and slide up in that's a nice job of just making sure knowing where the first down is you got to get the first down if you're going to hoof it and certainly he does that's beautiful 10th play of the drive and an 11 yd pickup there by Allen on a third and nine the ball is at the 6yd line Steelers first and goal Allen turns play action pass looking throws out to Hayward Hayward in the right flat reaches extends for the flag and he is in yes indeed Conor Hayward getting the job done out in the flat you know he he ran that little out pattern he's a couple yards out text that ball turns around and you wonder okay does he have enough ham hacks to get in the end zone well yes he does puts that baby in you need that seven that seven man you need it what a drive that was what 11 11 plays 11 play drive and number four 10pl Drive I believe number four uh was awfully effective there as well 10pl 78 yd Drive Kyle Allen terrific on that drive 632 taking off the clock and Matthew r on on a high snap taken down by Johnson and it is no good that was set up by a high snap Johnson got the snap down but the timing was off and so the extra point is no good 431 remaining the Steelers of just scored from the Hines Red Zone during Steelers season it has to be Hines they do miss the extra point so from aurer Stadium 431 remaining third quarter it is the Texans 17 and the Steelers 6 join doing it right

stadium in kaln Barnes the hit on the kickoff return by acres and acres is chopped down at the 24 yard line let's go downstairs now to Max Starks Max all right Troubles of the of the first half did not carry into this the second half we had an opening uh second half Drive score by the Steelers Kyle Allen doing a great job him and Calvin Austin did the heavy man work and then of course the meatball Express Conor Hayward puts it in for the tutty so let's see what the defense can do get him back the ball get that momentum going and let's see if Kyle Allen could do some more magic back to you guys thank you Max Allen is five for five 69 yards on that drive Tim Bole in a quarterback here for the Texans will give to acres Acres off the right side spins and gets out to about the 29 yd line before he's ridden down by Isaiah loudermill wow I got to tell you mark Rob just came up that'd be Mark Robinson came on a there was a p c there Kendrick green and Mark Rob met in the hole I have to handed Mark Robinson he uh dominated in that position there that was one heck of a hit second and five with the ball now at the 29 yd line there's under four minutes remaining here clock continuing to roll at the 352 Mark here of the third quarter Dalton Keane the tight end in motion settles to the right eye formation behind quarterback o play action pass looking has plenty of time throws underneath complete to acres stops gets away from Mark Robinson right up the numbers on the left side of the field out to the 43 yd line and a first down for the Houston Texans one of the hardest things to do as a linebacker is when you have all that time and you're in zone coverage and your man keeps drifting away from you and you got to come up and then coril him and it's so hard in the open field cuz these guys are as fast as hiccups you know what I mean it's just boom and and for Mark Robinson lost Leverage overran him a little bit allowing the back to undercut him now boo will move two receivers from the right to the left side of the formation settles under Center moves Hutchinson back left to right has Acres as the lone setback Acres will hit the hole to the right side and is tripped up in the hole and that is a nice job by Ryan Watts coming up to make the Stop and tripping up acres for No Gain oh Ryan Watts go on with your bad self man oh man that's a nice job by a young man identifying his run key coming up and getting in his hole getting in his gap of responsibility and then kapow pulling the trigger and bringing a man down man I like to see young people respond like that that's good physical hard play Steelers going into lighter formation as Thomas Graham Jr comes into the game for Logan Lee oy comes out has acres under Center behind him as aone setback Hutchinson in motion Jet Sweep Hutchinson gets the hand off right side plenty of room squares the shoulders picks up the first down and ridden out of bounds on the right side of the field at the 35 yd line Xavier Hutchinson that Jet Sweep has been very effective now a couple of times first by Sims Now by Hutchinson exactly so we've seen this happen a couple times up in training camp and guys just did not get to the areas of responsibility there was nobody that set the The Edge nobody played from inside out leverage and thus you get a nice alley there for the Texans and did a nice job but yeah that jet motion sweep is a tough one for first and 10 at the 37 yd line after that 19 yd gain by Hutchinson bo back under Center Bole play action pass going back to the left and that was just completely thrown off by a strong pass rush by the Steelers Kiren Johnson and others getting into the grill of boil looked like they were trying to set up something on the left side of the field but just no time to get that going they were indeed they tried to get uh out to the left side there and I don't know it was Gonic or it was a back that got caught up Thomas Graham came off the edge did a nice job of getting right in the grill of quarterback and and decreasing his ability to throw that ball out in the flat and I have to see now after seeing the replay I think he might have gotten a hand on that ball as well Thomas see nice job there in the Rush by Graham Jr coming in from his cornerback spot pitch out to akres trying the right side Acres will get to the edge tripped up as he picks up a couple yards off the right side as Anthony a again with a tackle for the Steelers at about the 35 yd line so give him a pickup of three and and this was another drill they were just doing up a training camp just a couple of days ago and Anthony AB I'm not sure he looked like he fell while he was trying to Pivot and make a tackle but that was the to the boundary tackling that they did a couple days ago what what it was very pre that they had worked on it and certainly that was an opportunity for Anthony to show a little bit more and being able to bring his Man Down steal his crowd maybe he's loud as it's been all game on a third and long boy back to pass looking looking now comes back to the right and and has his man Acres Acres spins out of one tackle not the second though slammed To The Ground by Marcus Robinson after a pick up down to the 32 yd line well short of the first down well there was a nice pass rush and I believe that was Julius welsha our German international player got right in the grill of the quarterback gets a hand up he's a tall guy and it was a nice job of bringing him down although I if I saw it right was that pton Wilson missed yeah he slowed him down pton Wilson has been out there all game long the whole game and I'm you know what that may be the first negative play we've seen from him this young man has had a very good night 51

drive for the Texans resulting in a 51 yd Fair bearing field goal extended the lead to 20 to7 Texans 12 seconds remaining here in the third quarter as Fair Baron gets set to kick off Michael perin and dejon Edwards back deep and it will be Edwards who's going to retreat back and grab it at the goal line crosses the 10 heads up to the middle of the field Cuts back to the left now back to the center again and gets out to about the 28 yd line which is where the Steelers will get the ball with 5 seconds remaining here in the third quarter well that was interesting to watch a little popup action there you know I mean we haven't seen it everything's been about trying to put it on the ground line drive it that sort of thing right here we got a nice little you know lollipop going up so if you can catch that ball in the end zone and if it carries into the End Zone it automatically goes to the 30 if you choose to down it so you want to get it as deep as you can but not into the end zone so that's the tricky part here for the kickers as Pine remains in the game in the pistol behind quarterback Allen Allen throws out quickly to Miller and Miller will get out to about the 35 yd line on the

to six the Texans with the lead the Steelers have the ball at the 34 yd line it is a second and four Allen is the quarterback and L Michel perine is the tail back behind him two tight ends in a power formation to the right side of the field play action pass back to pass over the middle of the field and beautifully thrown ball taken in by Miller Miller inside the 30 and down to the 28 line of the Texans what a nice job by Scotty Miller as he ran down the seam cut to the outside Kyle Allen just sitting there looking at him waiting waiting there's a little break in the there's a rush coming and he stares in the face of it all and delivers that ball wow you got to love what this young man has come out here and done tonight Allen in the second half has been perfect for the Steelers beautifully thrown ball catching Miller in stride a 38 yd pickup ball now at the 28 yd line ketto motions back it's an eye formation behind Allen hands to Edwards Edwards to the left then Cuts up the middle of the field to the 25 yd line where he's taken down after a pickup of about three close to four yards on first down again you know these young guys getting out here this is important this may be the fourth quarter of the first game of the pre-season but as we were talking about earlier Chuck null always believed that preseason regular season post postseason Super Bowl they were all very similar to him and that every play is important regardless of the importance as it pertains to the season Allen under Center two receivers to the right one to the left tight end to the left Edwards alone set back Allen will give to Edward straight up the middle of the field Cuts back to the right finds a huge hole accelerates to the five and inside the five and down to the 2 yd line goes the rookie from Georgia dejon Edwards dejon Edwards finds that Gap off the right side makes a nice Cut accelerates coming out of and again displays the vision it's beautiful you got Zack Fraser over there taking a man out you got on the right side those guys taking their men backwards I love it when you see the offensive line rolling back the defensive line on their side of the ball man that tells you people moving business is on 24 yard pickup Steelers in the hindes red zone at the 2 yd line and here's the handoff left side and into the end zone for the score the Steelers get the touchdown and it is finished off by Edwards on the short touchdown run Deon Edwards who had the big 34 24 yard explosive run finishes it off here with a two-yard run and the Steelers now have cut this to a 20 to 12 lead well what I like was just the power running they attacked you come after them you know it's the fourth quarter do you really want to do this yeah they want want to do it the Young Bucks get in there you want to get a good bite get a good chunk of this and they did on that play each man taking their man backwards that's power running that's what you want that's how you finish five play 72 yd Drive takes up 225 Mike Tomlin by the way wants no part of overtime I don't think he's going to go for two here uh to get the extra point back they missed anyway and it's per Ry lined up in the eye formation this does look like the seven shots drill they do all the time up in lro will they power run it here they will they'll give it to perine perine bangs forward and perine is knocked backwards and he will not get into the end zone for the two-point conversion the Steelers though do pick up a touchdown Edwards with the 24 yd run and then the two- yd run to finish things off the Steelers have just scored from the Hines Red Zone during Steelers season it has to be Hines 1247 remaining in the fourth quarter with the score Houston 20 the Steelers 12 this is the Pittsburgh Steelers a Network

black and gold this is the Pittsburgh Steelers audio Network well the Renegade is blaring away here as the Steelers getting set to kick off they've cut the lead to 20 to 12 and I know you love the blocking of Dylan cook on that touchdown run oh Dylan cook sustained effort drove him into the end zone and then put a little jelly on it and the kickoff deep is going to be taken by JJ Taylor Taylor starts to the right Cuts back to the left looking for a seam and gets out across the 30 yd line best return we've seen Taylor a smaller quicker guy I think they're still deciding what kind of guys should be back there punt returner type running back type Taylor is of course a running back but not the biggest guy right right here are the latest NFL scores brought to you by clear viiew Federal Credit Union your financial partner for life clearviewfcu.org in Miami the Dolphins leading the Falcons 17 to 13 in Baltimore the Eagles and the Ravens are tied at 6 piece is Case Keenum has now checked in at the quarterback position and jaar Jordan the rookie six round running back is behind him as a lone setback Keenum gives to Jordan Jordan will try the right side of the line and not find much to his liking a yard perhaps off that right side oh yeah and that was jayen Elliott who just been brought over picked up by the Steelers comes crashing down makes a great play from the outside in jayen elled who was with the Steelers last year did it night that's a nice jot they practice one day practice boom sign in the middle of the night on Wednesday that's the way to make contribution man good stuff as Keenum now drifts back into the shotgun formation gets the snap throws it out quickly to the right o and a nice job by Cory tce coming up immediately on quintz seus the right flat and drops him for a loss in the play Oh not once not twice but tce Cory tce yeah that's the way to come up we've been waiting for this young man want to see what he can do Mike tomman talks about the Avatar Corners with Joey Porter and Cory tce both 63 62 over 200 lbs big guys and we just saw Cory tce make a play out in the open that was beautiful so now on a third and 11 from the 30 yd line Keenan back in the shotgun surveying middle of the field it is complete and it looks like it's enough for a first down as it's drilled in there to Johnny Johnson and he gets enough for a first down here for the Texans jacobe wman making the tackle there on a little in route you know you got to sit back play your Zone come up Jaylen Elliott was like a heat seeking missile coming up oh he just whiffed oh he got close that would have been a Smacker 10:45 and Counting here remaining in the fourth quarter Keenum under Center bring a Man in Motion across the formation handoff off the right side in a short gain it was jaar Jordan again on the carry and windman then uh came up that time and just really closed quickly this was a nice Pro style linebacking play inside linebacker play jacobe winman following in in motion right with the backs just mirroring him on the opposite side of line of scrimmage came up and just put a whack on him right there in the hole that's what you call deceleration trauma yeah you love to see that flash like there looks like a hole and all of a sudden there isn't a hole there is a hole Yeah right pick up of just a yard or two on that play Jordan will try the left side now Jordan finds more room that way and in fact lunges forward for a first down just outside the numbers off the left side into Steelers territory down to the 46 and again there was enough blocking there to be able to get a nice alley form but you know certainly you're sitting there going well the edge Setter didn't get them and you see when you see helmets and jerseys facing the opposite direction from what what they were pointing at the snap of the ball you know something bad happened and that bad something that happened was a first down for the Texans at the 46 yd line of the Steelers under 9 and 1/2 minutes remaining here in this fourth quarter Keenum under Center has a broken eye to the left the run will go that way with Jordan trying the left side and this time not as much success as he's knocked down at the 45 yd line kyen Johnson in there on the stop for the Steelers Tyler M cage is in there playing some defense as well oh yeah you love dirty red he's just one of those guys that's down and dirty I mean he gets in there he don't mind getting a mouth full of dirt he doesn't he'll be picking sod out of his face mask that sort of thing but that's the kind of guy he is you know he is just one of those down to earth tough guys that play the inside linebacker position in the NFL and he does a darn good job of it give him a yard pickup down to the 45 yd line of the Steelers Keenan remains under Center Keenan back looking short drop throws out to the left it's complete and this is Johnson again Johnson steps inside of attack where they're going to say actually stepped out of bounds after he made the initial move but it's enough for a first down for the Texans well Jaylen Elliot signed on one day he's is finding more action than he I think he bargained for you know right there you got a little nice little two ball thrown with an arc over top of one in front of another on the outside edge there and it was a nice reception by him but uh again Jaylen Elliott is getting a lot of stuff run at him and that was outside of Elliott and underneath Darius Rush the corner on that side of the field but a first down for the Texans B to 35 approaching the 8 Minute Mark remaining here in the fourth quarter High snap Keenum able to to handle it and just dive forward and get back to the line of scrimmage nice job by Keon back came in hot and high and he was able to knock it in the air grab it and get back to the line of scrimmage exactly so boy that came out and Willington preon was right there on the backside beating his block on the back side of that play and able to get just a jop a jump on the pile it's kind of funny it was almost it was very similar to uh TJ Watts What would have been a record setting 23 and half sack in Baltimore that they ruled just oh no it was a quarterback mess up and now here is a sack change of TJ watt as roaring in came Jeremiah moon on the sack oh my goodness what a job that's the way to go Jeremiah Moon you want to get noticed that's how you get noticed big pass rush come in and smack right the quarterback put him in the dirt Case Keenum and you got a moon over Keenum right there you say Bad Moon Rising but a moon over Keenan will work third sack Steelers either way it works ball back at the 41 yd line now a third and 16 for Keenum in this offense on the 10th play of this Texans Drive Keenum quick throw out to the left flat some blockers out in front weaving his way forward it's cus and cus will get close to first down yardage they needed 16 yards and cus looked like he picked up about 15 all the way down to the 26 yd line well that's what happened when you throw those screens and the man who's got manto man on the screen guy if you don't get him look out because you got to be able to get there and get to it and it looked like couldn't tell who it was but whoever flashed first when you have that manto man you you got to get your the guy who's catching the screen you got to get him if you don't get him uh there's proba going to be a game that's for sure and there certainly was there and the Texans will line up to go for it here they need a yard at the 26 yd line eye formation playaction pass Keenan back looking throws underneath beautifully thrown ball and a beautiful catch on the other end as well and a first down as that pass was hauled in by quintz cus Darius rush in very very close coverage but this is just an excellent throw oh it was I mean the window was very very small like a bread basket for crying out loud Darius Rush right there shadowing him nicely that might have been one SL out of the Bread Basket I mean that was tight tight coverage and just well they pick up the first down a beautiful play keeping the drive alive with 520 remaining here in the fourth quarter big play there for the Texans handoff up the middle this is Jordan Jordan bounces off a couple tacklers and backs forward down to the 15 yd [Music] Line This is a point in time now it's Logan Lee doing a nice job of of stuffing the center and getting disengaging but while doing it he slipped and went to the ground and then the back blew right by him he's right there in the hold doing everything he want to do and then you run out of gription as Keith Willis used to say give Jordan six yards and he remains in the eye formation actually the lone setback here behind Keenum and Keenum gives to Jordan again and Jordan will try the middle and this time not nearly as much success as he's wrapped up by Jeremiah Moon and de Marvin Leal back in there for the Steelers de Marvin Leal he he was showing some exasperation he just like okay I've had enough of this give me give me a piece of that guy I don't care if I have just the head I don't care if I have just the shoulder I don't care but it's going backwards now Jeremiah Moon a nice job as well to have the initial hit and then Le all finished him off and now a third down and three the Marvin's had a good night he's really shown some of the capabilities that he brings to Bear 4minute Mark Keenum back to pass looking center of the field and throws underneath and tight coverage incomplete pass to Kobe windman was running with Johnny Johnson and it'll bring up another fourth down and this time the Texans on a fourth and three will send out Fair Baron and the kickoff or the field goal unit I make your pardon what a nice play by jacobe windman in trail across the middle with running stride for stride with his man and then reaches up with that inside hand outside hand and knocks the ball away beautiful you love to see the players use the skills they've been working on in [Music] Camp 32 yd field goal attempt snap is good hold is down and the kick is no good it is wide to the left wow

built on something let's see if we can continue the momentum you get a Miss field goal an opportunity to really stretch out this two-minute drill work down the field and possibly get a score and a two-point play opportunity you know I saw what I saw what meatball Express did before I'm going to go with Cam Hayward that's my brother I want to see if he can do some more action back to you guys Max thank you very much Allen rolls out kinds a screen set up to the left to Champlin Champlin Cuts back to the middle of the field slow developing play gets out to the 23 yd line picks up about a yard or so and this is the kind of situational football they've been working on and they always work at this towards the end of practice two-minute drill 4minute drill I'm sure this is something Mike Tomlin wants to see handled crisply by this offense unquestionably so and you start off with a screen it's a natural it's one of those things hopefully you're getting over your defense get him rushing up the field be a good actor says Chuck null be a good actor let him rush throw it out to the flat get some yardage Kyle Allen who's eight for eight in this second half gets a snap back to pass looking throws pump fakes and now is taken down and the ball comes loose he was hit by Melvin mctelvin AE and it's going to be Steelers football recovered by Dey Hamilton the offensive lineman you know if I don't know who I beg you that was Hardy on the recovery Hardy yeah that was one of those Bots deals and looking you can tell all right the offensive lineman looking around on the replay trying to say okay oh the ball slipped out of his hands it did it did that's what I was going to say I thought it looked like he was trying to pull it back in was at the Tuck Rule so Howen now on a third and 20 from his own 12 yd line going hard snap and up unfortunately that Drew not a Defender offside but a stealer to move too early start number 68 offense 5yd penalty third down oh this if if we were up at Camp Anderson Hardy would be taking us a lap around the field and you come out of the drill and you run a lap yeah that was instituted very early in Camp I'm sure that's going to be instituted on Sunday when they get back to practicing steers 1 for six on third down and they've yet to have a third and 25 in this game from their own seven yd line 233 remaining here in the fourth quarter Allen back to pass sets up the screen to shamin shamin cuts out to the left but is immediately brought down by Max Tuli uh Tulie is a guy who's really impressed the Houston Texans and he stops him after a three- yard gain and the Steelers will sent out the punt unit and the frustration of with that whole screen setup is you got to have the tackle bring the guy up the field okay then the guard slides out he kicks out now you got the center coming around on a peel or the backside guard is the peel man somewhere somehow they've got to get the peel guy because it's the peel guy that's

Stadium the Houston Texans leading the Steelers by the score of 20 to 12 they have the ball at the 47 yd line of the Steelers and again you're looking for some stops make them punt it away and see if you can make something happen exactly l so I was always worried at this point in time my rookie year in a game when you know the St stands are empty and last minute you're out on the field and I was afraid my mom would start screaming and be able to be heard yeah yeah exactly she could hear you you know like no that's my mom please and of course my mom is the notorious hoopie as my uh as all the grandkids call her British Brooks behind quarterback Case Keenum in the offset eye to the left Keenum now touching his helmet now will'll get back under Center and they'll try the left side to Brooks and Brooks is hit in the back field immediately was Kiron Johnson who came in got the penetration and made the stop right at the line of scrimmage that's it Kiron Johnson that's how you come up and you put a big bang on somebody that's how you get noticed negative plays tackles for loss those sorts of thing he beats his man beats the pants off his man comes in and wraps up the ball carrier and brings him down that's how you get noticed in this league doing help out Julius woff your your German player International player comes in and helps finish things off toward to say orange julius well it's Julius Welsh off exactly Steelers use a timeout now there's a minute 38 remaining the Texans the timeout is over the Texans break the Huddle and it is a third and seven from the 47 se's looking for a stop they still have one timeout remaining Texans have all three timeouts remaining that doesn't seem to be much of a factor at this stage and the Jets sweep in the handoff and this time it is going nowhere as Kiren Johnson was not fooled he wraps up Johnson for a loss back at the 49 yd line where the Steelers will use their final timeout well Kiren Johnson's like oh that's all I got to do to get noticed is a tackle for L here let me do it again that's a nice job when that Jet Sweep has been a problem tonight on a couple of plays the Texans have had two good gains on that play they've gotten to the edge quickly but Kiren Johnson you talked about that that need to set the edge and Kiren Johnson set the edge and made the stop oh what a job too that's just that's just so nice you know I mean he's got a little smile coming to the sidelines yeah yeah yeah you know that's a good feeling when you when you you're coached a certain way you you do it by the numbers and you make that play routine plays made routinely it's something you hear Mike Tomlin utter all the time but it's a trism it's as true for every single play as it is in every single game and you know when you get to these preseason games wolf you always want to move up you get in the fourth quarter you're hoping maybe next game I'll get in the third quarter and then the charts a little bit and Kiren Johnson a nice fourth quarter here for the Steelers towns and bangs it away Miller will settle underneath it but the ball goes out of bounds and so you know what Rob referee is going to spot this year and and this is true and I knew I first realized I got a shot at this when they put me in the game with Terry Bradshaw pron game I moved up you know what I mean it was like the very first game no boom in the second half and then all of a sudden uh I moved up and I'm in the huddle with you know the blonde bomber yeah oh is that cool let me tell you something like oh man that was the moment man I'm in there and I'm I was just all excited with John col to my left and you got uh you got the Mike Webster to my right the blonde bomber taking the snaps boy 32 two Franco in the back field minute 27 remaining as Allen gets the snap from his own 12 yd line throws underneath to Edwards Edwards tries to make a man miss spins away from one not another again the Steelers are out of timeouts he is chopped down at the 22 yd line it's not enough for a first down it'll be a second and one Allen trying to move the team along crisply here under a minute 10 remaining here in the game Allen back to pass looking right side throws complete this is Jenkins and Jenkins will step out of Bounds at the 28 yd line and up for a first down for the Steelers stops the clock with 102 remaining and you know what Mike Tomlin couldn't have scripted this better to have this opportunity to run this two-minute offense at the end of the game this is exactly what he'd want to see nice job by J Jenkins there back to pass is Allen looking left steps up out of pressure gets to the corner now we'll stop and look downfield and we'll just throw it away Allen had some room to run but I'm not sure he thought he could get to the sidelines and so he settles up and throws it out of bounds and 54 seconds remaining uh the Steelers avoid a big runoff of the clock well the good deal is if he had run for the sidelines and somebody tackled him before he got there right then you're you're you're running the clock you're wasting time and by the way that throw away by Allen was the first incompletion this half for KY really he has been very sharp for the Steelers back to pass looking on the crossing pattern de wats is bang to the ground and hangs on oh he took one to the grill and he looked at him up at that guy and said you want some more it was D'Angelo Ross who hit him it's enough for a first down ball at the 37 yd line 40 seconds remaining Allen back to pass looking throws out to the right and this is caught in another Crossing pattern complete and in by Tariq black as black gets the ball out near Midfield Allen now gets the team set 25 seconds remaining he will Spike the clock uh ball there to stop the clock with 25 remaining and the ball at the 48 yd line what is Kyle Allen's numbers in this half I'm telling you what this young man has done outstanding work well for the game 16 for 20 193 yards and just one of those incompletions came in the second half was three of six in the first half and the only incompletion this half was the one he threw out of bounds to stop the clock great googly moogly that's some good work there by the young man impressive work Allen has champin to his left second down gets a snap back to pass looking left throws underneath the Champlin Champlin is going to try to cut up field and Champlin is banged a couple times and Shanklin will work hard to get to the uh sideline and does so I think he lost yardage but he stopped the clock great work by Aaron shamlin he was the whirling derish I mean that's two missed tackles three missed tackles four five six took six or seven guys to take him out of bounds and he's still standing he said take him out of bound they didn't take him down he's still standing yes exactly that's desire man Allen back to pass looking throws over the middle of the field Too Tall and then intercepted on the other end this is picked off it's being returned Now by Hill cover cover Hill crosses the 50 and Allen will kind of chase him out of bounds that was Brandon Hill the former pit panther who came up with the interception on what is going to be the final offensive play for the Steelers with just 3 seconds remaining in the game well that wraps up unfortunately a fine first half or I'm sorry fine uh game for
