13
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: And it's been fun watching you get acclimated this year,

14
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: uh with the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive line. So this weekend

15
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: you're going to be facing a Bengals team in which

16
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: the defensive line had a tough go of it against

17
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: Chase Brown and their running attack, and it was a

18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: surprise to everybody, but it seemed to be the impetus

19
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: for you guys for the next couple of games to

20
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: write the rudder.

21
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: Would you say that that is an accurate assessment?

22
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: Most definitely, Most definitely. We know near the beginning and

23
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: a half of the season, like we in and like

24
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: our run defense, and we knew we had to change

25
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: some things quickly and just to get back on on

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 3: the road, where we're trying to go, and I feel

27
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: like we've done that and just to sure amount of games.

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: But this game is big because, like you said, he

29
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 3: had a game last game, and it's our job to

30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: stop him from having one this one.

31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 4: So, Derek, if we talked to your training camp, if

32
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 4: you've broken anybody's hands sets that.

33
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: I have, not, not you.

34
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you about your approach.

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: You were.

36
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 4: You were really relaxed that you know you're a number

37
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 4: one pick. You come in a lot of a lot

38
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 4: of hype, a lot of spotlight. You just kind of

39
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: go about your business. You look completely unchanged just watching

40
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: your day to day. Uh is this all coming is

41
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 4: seemingly naturally for you as it looks?

42
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: Yes? And no, man, because for me, of course, you

43
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: feel the pressure of being the first round again. No,

44
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: you got to go make plays. But I try not

45
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: to look to that, man. I try to just go

46
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: play my ball and just know what I can do.

47
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: That's the best that I can, man, Because once you

48
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 3: start worrying about outside of noises, start dying or so,

49
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 3: thinks can get bad out there. So as long as

50
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: I'm focused on just playing good ball and helping my team, win.

51
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: I'm good, Derek.

52
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 5: We talked to your teammate Keanu Benton last week. He

53
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 5: said he tried Permanny Brothers wasn't for him. He said

54
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 5: he didn't even know Pittsburgh really had any good pizza.

55
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 5: He said his favorite restaurant was Chipotle. Please tell me

56
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 5: you've at least tried something kind of Pittsburgh, any pizza,

57
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 5: any food whatsoever.

58
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: I have not, not yet. Man, the most closest day,

59
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: I had some beat ups the other day.

60
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: Derek, I'm gonna I'm driving a van over there and

61
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: just taking you guys to some places because I feel

62
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: like everyone's.

63
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: Somebody is we gott to bring it to you?

64
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Cam Hayward is dropping the ball like like to

65
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: not pass down the traditional places. Sad these guys need

66
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: to be eating is a dereliction of duty.

67
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: We would enjoy it more than defensive life.

68
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 5: Exactly, Who's got the biggest appetite on the d line?

69
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: Is it you?

70
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: Probably it's between me and Black, Me and Black.

71
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: Oh, dude, he's proud of his belly. That guy is

104
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: home this weekend, And did you sense, you know, for

105
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: the indie game, there was this anticipation among Steeler fans

106
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: that it was a game that was going to be

107
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: a harbinger of things to come, like it was going

108
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: to indicate a direction for the season. And there was

109
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: kind of a vibe in that stadium, and there was

110
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: fans in the first quarter of that game that weren't

111
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: exactly thrilled. And then you guys turned it around and

112
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: stopped the most prolific offense in the league and get

113
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: out of Akroscher Stadium with a win against the Colts

114
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: this weekend. Since that game, there's been a little bit,

115
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, with the backslide against.

116
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: The Chargers, there's still some of that uncertainty.

117
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: What do you expect the atmosphere to be like at

118
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: Akroscher Stadium on Sunday.

119
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: And since I've been hearing the fan has been real,

120
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 3: and they've been real since day one. Now they don't

121
