1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Mitch just happened so quickly. Was there any inclination on

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: your part to kind of shop your services around and

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: what looked to be a pretty quarterback friendly market or

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: did you have your on Pittsburgh all along? I had

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: my in Pittsburgh definitely. Uh. Just going through the process

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: was my agent. We talked through where would be a

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: best fit, where I could come in compete and get

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: back on the field, but also be a part of

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: a winning franchise, and Pittsburgh checked all these boxes. So

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be here and I can't wait to

11
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: get started. I've heard just say you researched culture. I'm

12
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: curious how exactly is that accomplished. Yeah, you talked to

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: friends and teammates and guys who have been here, and

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: you just get reviews on the coaching staff, the people

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: in the building and everybody that you come in contact

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: with on a daily basis. And I got great reviews

17
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: out of Pittsburgh. They say it's definitely a place you

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: want to be. Uh. They take care of the players

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: there and when you come into a new situation and

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: you just want to be welcome to, uh, welcomed in

21
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: like a family atmosphere and I felt that already. It's

22
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: being in the first day, so I feel the family

23
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: atmosphere and I could tell it's a great culture and

24
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: I'm looking to be a part of that. How many

25
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: coordinators and or play coolers did you play for in

26
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: four years with the Bears? Uh? I think like three

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: to two or three fair amount? Right? Yeah? I got

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: amount and did that kind of help you in the

29
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: long run. I know it's probably difficult to go through

30
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: at the time, but yeah, I think it's probably seen

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: and done more than a guy your age. I think

32
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: when you change coordinators, you learn new offenses, and I

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: think that each time you learn a new offense, it

34
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: gets easier and easier because you're to pick things up

35
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: and you learn techniques and how to how to study

36
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: and how to memorize the plays and the formations and

37
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: all that. So I think each time I've learned a

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: new offense, I've picked it up quicker and quicker. So

39
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to again with Coach Canada and learning

40
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: this offense and diving in ran away. So when we

41
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: get in the O t as, we can hit the

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: ground running. So uh, I'm definitely gonna draw my past

43
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: experiences in Chicago and Buffalo and and and use them

44
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: here to to help the Steelers. Jim. I was talking

45
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: to Jim Miller about you, and he said that he

46
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: thought the Bears were kind of forced feeding throw from

47
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: the pocket to you, and he thought you'd have been

48
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: better used getting out on the wing more playing move quarterback.

49
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: You have both skill sets. You have a preference as

50
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: to the game you'd like to play. Is it is

51
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: it play action boot and let's let's see what happens,

52
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: or do you want to kind of sit back into

53
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: pocket and dissect. Yeah, I love the play action the

54
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: r p O, but I think you've got to be

55
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: able to do it all. And I think when when

56
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: you when you have the ability to move the pocket,

57
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: I think you should and uh and that just makes

58
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: it easier throwing from the pocket when you move the pocket.

59
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: So um, you gotta do whatever you can on offense

60
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: to keep the defense guessing and going down and scoring points.

61
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: But I definitely have the ability to throw on the

62
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: run and move the pocket, so I hope we can

63
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: do that. And I definitely love the play action in

64
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: r p O, So I'm looking forward to diving into

65
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: the offense and seeing what we can cook up with

66
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Coach Canada. Jamalsa said he thought that you're spending Buffalo

67
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: would be really beneficial just in terms of kind of exhaling, rebooting, restarting,

68
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: however you want to phrase it. Do you feel like

69
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 1: you're coming out of this now recharged if you will?

70
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: I do. I feel refreshed. I feel recharged. I feel

71
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: like I've learned a lot in Buffalo and it's just

72
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: gonna help me, uh for this next opportunity. And uh,

73
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: it was. It was an incredible offense and Buffalo and

74
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: I've learned a lot from Coach Table and Coach Dorsey,

75
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to using everything I learned there

76
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: and and instilling it here. So it's it's gonna be

77
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Josh, you won't do some things

78
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: that look familiar to you. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of

79
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: RPO moved the pocket quarterback runs, so that's all that

80
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: fun stuff that I like to do too, So hopefully

81
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: we can include some of that. And uh, like I said,

82
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: it's a great offense, and I'm sure what we do

83
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: here is gonna be awesome as well. Mich I don't

84
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: know how well you've kept up with what's going on

85
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: around the signing of Mr Robisky. This team is a

86
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: lot different than the one you've researched and then when

87
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: you signed with. What do you think of what's going

88
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: on here so far? This office, It's awesome. I mean,

89
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: I always get excited when we add lineman, so I

90
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: love my whole I'm in. We got Mason Cole who

91
