We're going to break down exactly who they signed, discuss what it means going forward as well as a ton of other updates following today's practice ahead of the game this upcoming Sunday. There is a lot to discuss today. Aaron Rodgers revealing the truth behind him and Mike McCarthy's interaction, some injury updates. You're going to want to stay tuned to the very end of the video before we get into it all. Very quick reminder to hit that subscribe button. You guys have been an absolute beast of support and it truly means the world to me every single day. Folks, boys, there are a lot to discuss on this episode. I want to start with a signing that just went down and we're going to dive into Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers in a minute. So stay tuned for that. You can see here the Steelers have officially and reportedly added Terrell Smith. And this has been an insane, insane day. Like this is the third signing that they made. Of course, they signed, or second signing, they signed KJ Henry earlier today. Obviously, Sean Murphy bunting. What you see here, the Pittsburgh Steelers have poached cornerback Terrell Smith off of the Washington Commanders practice squad. And the first thing you might be thinking is, OK, who's Terrell Smith? We'll dive into that in a minute. But keep in mind, he now has to be on the team for a minimum of three weeks following when you poach somebody off of another team's practice squad. So now they got Sean Murphy bunting. You get Terrell Smith. You get so many guys. They're going to have to make even more moves after this one. But it's interesting because they did, you know, SMB, Sean Murphy bunting, but they need even more depth. Like that's how crazy this team has kind of gotten at this point. Let's dive into his experience. He was a 2023 fifth round pick out of Minnesota with the Vikings. He's played 26 games, started six all with Chicago, 68 tackles, 10 passes defended and one interception. And he stopped playing in 2024, went down with some injuries and has kind of been bouncing around ever since. So a lot of practice squad moves today. And I know a lot of you guys are probably saying, you know, Nick, where are the actual big moves? I would say Sean Murphy bunting is fairly not big, but he has a ton of experience. These guys are probably and the reason I'm covering them so often, these guys are probably going to get run like they're probably going to play some games. It's just the way that this team is. And it's also the way that, you know, I mean, the Steelers are completely decimated with injuries right now. And their secondary is extremely, extremely weak. Now, how ready is Terrell Smith to actually get into action? He missed all 2025 with a torn patellar tendon. He joined Washington's practice squad in September, so last month, and now he's joining the active roster because again, he was poached from the other team's practice squad. And of course, his immediate role has not been confirmed to discuss yet because this move literally just happening a couple hours ago. So comment down below what your thoughts are on this. And usually this would be not a huge deal, but when we look at the moves that they've continued to make over the past few days, past couple of weeks with Jamal Dean being out with Derek Harmon now being placed on the IR. There are just now obviously, you know, Herman's not a cornerback, but with all the injuries, it starts to add up and you need more depth. And there's another tippet to this I quickly want to dive into before we do, you can trade on whether or not you think the Steelers are going to make the playoffs and you can do so on Cal. So you can trade yes or no. If you trade yes on the Steelers making the playoffs, you have that faith that I'm sure a lot of you guys don't. There's 30% chance means $25 wins you over $80.

So obviously also quickly kind of show you guys this in case you missed earlier. They also signed defensive end KJ Henry earlier today. If you want to learn more about him, check out my video from earlier today. But that is now two different names. They've gotten ahead of the, you know, big game on Sunday. How much is Terrell Smith going to play? We're going to have to wait and see, but comment down below where you guys are kind of falling with this signing. Do you think it's just something that, you know, it is what it is. He's not going to play. Or do you think this is a name that is going to get a decent bit of opportunity? A lot of it comes down to injuries because you look at the team now, right in cornerback position. You have Jamel Dean. You have, of course, well, Jamel Dean's hurt for the couple weeks of how much is a couple weeks. You have Asante Samuel Jr. You have, of course, Dalen Everett, the standout rookie outside of that, like you're looking at depth pieces. And that's exactly where Terrell Smith falls in. And there's a reason I think that they poached him off of the practice squad because or and keep in mind with these, you know, two or three weeks, we have to keep him on the team after poaching the practice squad. The more interesting part about that is that lines up with where Jamel Dean will probably start to return. And yeah, that makes it interesting, especially also, I do want to kind of quickly dive into the latest Deshaun Elliott. He reports progress at the ankle. There is an evaluation planned for tomorrow, and this is regarding Jamel Dean, and there's no week five clearance. So it doesn't look like Jamel Dean is going to be playing this upcoming week. We'll know more tomorrow. And with him, you know, between Dean, between Deshaun Elliott, who's been making progress as well, who had a good workout last Wednesday, guys are slowly but surely coming around. But neither of them are going to be available. It looks like this upcoming Sunday, which makes things that much more interesting, especially with Jalen Ramsey remaining at safety, which is probably why they went out and got another cornerback and continue to add there. We do have a lot of other things to go over today, and it is it's kind of interesting. So I want to start with Max Einacher, right? And there were some comments today from Mike McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers, everyone on Einacher. He had his worst start. He's had a couple of bad starts here. He's very, very good. I think he's going to be perfectly fine. But you can see right here, it was an interesting tidbit from Traxxas. He got pushed back a couple of times in Aaron Rodgers lap, talking about how he was kind of dominated by the D-line of a couple of teams. However, I want to dive into this here. I think that's something that can be easily corrected. And I want to ask you guys, where do you guys currently stand surrounding Max Einacher? Do you think he's somebody that, you know, will be fine going forward? Do you think it's just a little bit of a rough patch? At the end of the day, he still had a very, very good rookie season or rather rookie opening game. The whole O-line is bad, right? The whole team is playing poorly, and I think they do need to add to the O-line as well. But I think Max Einacher is going to be perfectly fine. A couple other tidbits as well here. Brandon Echols, he remains questionable for the game on Sunday. Rico Donald remains out and Jalen Ramsey remains not only available with his broken wrist, but remaining at safety. So these are kind of the big updates. And again, no clearance for Jamel Dean, which is a little bit unfortunate because, you know, if there was a world where he could have started to more this Sunday, that would probably mean that they didn't do the Smith signing. But yeah, it's exciting. The final thing I want to dive into here is the Rodgers talks, and it's going to be short and sweet. He was asked basically about the conversation he had with Mike McCarthy, if there's tension there. And there's obviously been a lot of conversation because it kind of went viral when they swore at each other. Mike McCarthy called him an a-hole, XYZ. And Rodgers had something similar to say, and he said that they had numerous talks over the weekend and they were able to sit down and talk, which is pretty funny. And there's also been a lot of discourse about the clean our house conversation for Pat Fryman. It was, listen, there is, I understand why there's drama. There does not need to be. Things are going to be fine for now. We'll see how the team goes. Also, literally one minute ago here, I'm reading it now. So Terrell Smith was obviously signed KJ Henry was signed to Terrell Smith is playing in the active roster. Braden Swinson was released from the practice squad. So those are all the moves, full tibetan move to get everybody active. Comment down below your thoughts on this. More videos coming. Thank you guys for watching.
