00:00Pittsburgh Steelers definitely seem at least from a management point of view to be very upset with

00:05the way that things finished last year because you're hearing rumors of Aaron Rodgers maybe being

00:10the quarterback there again that's just a rumor at this point but factually speaking they now have

00:14DK Metcalf to go along with George Pickens that is a huge huge ad and also Vinny I would add

00:19without a quarterback right like adding the pieces yeah without having a quarterback this is like I

00:25generally speaking backwards way to do it right don't see this that often yeah I think we're

00:31trying to get an indication of what they're trying to do at quarterback by these moves and you look

00:35at DK Metcalf George Pickens their skill sets are very similar they're big dudes who can stretch the

00:40field and you think they want to go to a vertical passing game which would suggest that they do not

00:46want to bring back Justin Fields or things fell through so they had to pivot from that because

00:51that was the biggest knock right he couldn't push the ball downfield

00:54Russell Wilson came did a little bit better but didn't sustain it so now what kind of quarterback

00:59do you fit in there I mean that's why the rumors have gone to Sam Darnold that's why they've gone

01:04to Aaron Rodgers just a big arm that can get the ball downfield I would think if they were thinking

01:09fallback Kirk Cousins might be there as well so that's the type of quarterback they're looking

01:14forward to get a more dangerous passing game unlock Pickens which they hope just having Metcalf

01:19to draw coverage attention will do in itself so that's the thing is like the Steelers are

01:24typically not this aggressive but I think they're just tired of this 10 and 7 limbo

01:29because they don't have enough of a passing game or real quarterback so I'm interested

01:34to see what else they get done here as soon as the temporary window opens
