The Pomp And Joe Show

Mike McCarthy and Mike DeFabo drove around Greenfield and Mike wrote a story on their day! McCarthy shared his late brother Joe's story and what Pittsburgh means to him and his family. Mike would go to church, then to his dad's bar, then would watch the Steelers growing up. Mike was surprised to hear that Rudolph will take first-team reps.

Steelers fans weigh in on if they are excited for camp. Anthony in Oakland thinks the Steelers need to hit in practice. Bob wants there to be physicality. Kyle Shanahan said before most injuries occur when you take someone to the ground. Bob thinks Will Howard will be the backup QB with a good training camp.

Mike McCarthy said there will be no live tackling at Steelers camp. Joe is good with that. Will Howard and Drew Allar will split Np. 3 reps. Joe's conclusion is that Mason Rudolph is going to be the backup. Joe wonders where the opportunity will be for Will Howard. Bob and Joe think the Steelers are respecting Rudolph as a veteran and want Howard and Allar to earn reps as No. 2.

Jalen Ramsey is beginning training camp on the PUP list. Broderick Jones has been cleared to practice and will practice Wednesday. Dylan Cook was taking the first team reps at right tackle.

Pomp and Joe are back. Joe is planning on getting a tattoo with his daughter. The Pirates have stolen away the shine from the first day of Steelers training camp.
