00:00Mike Williams used to catch lots of those in L.A. from Justin Herbert, did not go very

00:09well with the Jets through the first half of the season, he said, really just had no

00:14time to gel.

00:15I mean, he got into camp late, signed with them late, and he was injured, didn't have

00:18time to make that connection.

00:20He hopes that that changes, though, Scotty, with Russell Wilson, and fairly quickly.

00:25He wants to catch some deep balls from him.

00:27Something Russell's always been known for, is that real high parking, deep ball, is that

00:31something you've seen and something you're interested in going running under?

00:34Yeah, yeah, because I mean, that's something I've been good at also in my career, was catching

00:38that deep ball and, you know, tracking the ball.

00:40So come down with a few of those, gain that trust in each other, and just connect on a

00:46lot of those.

00:48Listen, there's no doubt that he can make catches and he's come up big a few times,

00:53certainly with the Chargers.

00:54I never saw him come up big for the Jets, so I don't know what to think, but I'll say

01:00this much for him.

01:01I like his size.

01:03I like any, you know, I'm a big fan of guy, he's like Higgins, real big and long and can

01:10get up and climb the ladder and bring it down.

01:12He catches balls out of the sky that corners can't reach.

01:17That's just it.

01:18He's bigger, he's taller, he's stronger.

01:21The guy, you know, he's got that advantage on, I think, secondary guys.

01:26So hopefully it works, you know, they took a chance with him.

01:31And obviously, I think Aaron Rodgers hated him.

01:36And I mean, I've never seen a guy, he just flat out blamed him for their problems.

01:42And it is what it is.

01:43Let's see how he does in Pittsburgh.

01:45And I do look, I do think a lot of that is kind of what he referenced also in that interview

01:52is, you know, Rodgers is one of these guys that, you know, you got to be one of his guys.

01:57You got to have a lot of reps with him.

01:59He's got to put a lot of trust into you.

02:01He's got to do all those things.

02:02And if you're not in his little circle of trust, it's not easy to get in there unless

02:10you play a lot with him.

02:11And Williams never really got the chance to do that.

02:13I don't think Williams is a bad player.

02:15I think he's a good player.

02:16And maybe he'll be able to fit in a little bit better with what the Steelers are going

02:21to be able to do there in Pittsburgh.
