Doug goes into the "division of labor" in a three game preseason schedule. He gets more specific w/ the Steelers and what he would do if he were in charge. He also said as an evaluator, he loved the final preseason game. Doug also gets into "training camp heros." He said expectations need to be lowered a bit for George Pickens. Doug's QB rotation for game one...Trubisky two series. Then Mason for the rest of the first half. Kenny Pickett plays the second half. He thinks the reps in an NFL game would aid Kenny in understanding the process. Doug says it's all about the mental side of things for Pickett because he will likely be out there against a third-team defense. We ask Doug if the Steelers should pursue a Roquan Smith trade. Doug says you have to make the cursory call to the Bears about Roquan Smith. He says you have to be careful not tamper. With Smith representing himself, he said that's a tough thing to do. He said given the Dolphins tampering case, you can't even take a risk. Doug thinks Devin Bush's injury was the main cause of his failures so, in Doug's mind, he thinks the Steelers overdrafted Bush's mental ability! Doug doesn't think it's a bad idea for players to represent themselves, because the NFLPA will always advise players in those situations. Dorin agrees, but Colin and Chris push back.
