Speaker 1: Um, I mean they're they've been explosive to one of
Speaker 1: the most explosive offenses in the league for the last
Speaker 1: few years. Obviously, Antonio Brown, uh is probably you know
Speaker 1: right now, I'm the best receiver in the league. Ben
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger has been in the top of the league for
Speaker 1: many years. He's one of the league quarterbacks. A really
Speaker 1: good run game in D'Angelo Williams. So they got weapons
Speaker 1: all over the field, some other receivers that are making plays. Um.
Speaker 1: So you know, this would be the best offense that
Speaker 1: we've seen so far. Um. You know, so we're looking
Speaker 1: forward to the challenge. Three scores, all three drives have
Speaker 1: an ex play along the way. Um, he's ready, anyone.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's something you guys want to live it.
Speaker 1: But what's been the kind of all most big plays
Speaker 1: that's kind of gone wrong? Um? Yeah, he said, I mean,
Speaker 1: we're talking about three three X plays in two games.
Speaker 1: It's really not that bad. Um, but you look at
Speaker 1: one was earned cashed by Turell Prior is just a
Speaker 1: really good play. Was in as good as position as
Speaker 1: we can get. He just made an NFL play. The
Speaker 1: other two, uh, last week was a double move. We
Speaker 1: gave up that that we shouldn't um and so we
Speaker 1: want to limit those. And then the other one, we
Speaker 1: had three guys back in coverage and just couldn't come
Speaker 1: down with the ball. So really we we count two
Speaker 1: of them. One was just we got beat on the
Speaker 1: double move. The other one we just failed to make
Speaker 1: a play. So we're not overly um concerned about it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think you know, we left this game
Speaker 1: with one big play down the field, and as a secondary,
Speaker 1: that's usually a win in the NFL. And like I said,
Speaker 1: we felt like we gave him that one was just
Speaker 1: back coverage. UM. But we have seen the three scores
Speaker 1: that we were the drives that we've given up points
Speaker 1: have usually come with a big play. So I think
Speaker 1: the next step is to how do we eliminate you know,
Speaker 1: any of them and make them earn their way down
Speaker 1: the field because we've we've proven so far that making
Speaker 1: teams go the long way it's really hard against his defense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta keep him in front of you,
Speaker 1: and then when he's in front of you, gotta tackle him.
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's a great route runner. Um, he's
Speaker 1: got speed, he can get behind the defense, UM, and
Speaker 1: if you play too soft, you know, he's a hard
Speaker 1: attack on the open field. So the biggest thing is
Speaker 1: is you gotta make him, you know, earn it all
Speaker 1: the way down the field. You can't give him a
Speaker 1: quick one over the top, um. And when he does
Speaker 1: get those short passes, whether it's the screen or just
Speaker 1: short intermediate route, you got to tackle him and limit
Speaker 1: the yards after catch that little tough star. And then
Speaker 1: seemed like put seem like he played really well after that.
Speaker 1: He's a young kids put the negative playing hard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's one thing that I think, UM, going
Speaker 1: into it, we were pretty confident that if he gave
Speaker 1: up a play, he wasn't gonna lose his confidence or
Speaker 1: loses his technique. And even the play that he gave up,
Speaker 1: you know, he was just really trying to make a
Speaker 1: play when you know he didn't need to, and so
Speaker 1: he he kind of got outside of his technique. But
Speaker 1: other than that, played the rest of the game, we
Speaker 1: thought he played really well, played with good technique, tackled
Speaker 1: pretty well except for like one, UM. So you know,
Speaker 1: for rookies first start, I think I thought he played
Speaker 1: pretty well. Yeah, I guess it depends on what you
Speaker 1: call successful. Uh he's you see teams double team in him.
Speaker 1: He still still finds a way to split the coverage.
Speaker 1: Like I said, if you if you played too soft,
Speaker 1: He's a really hard tackle in open space. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: so I think that the biggest thing is you. You
Speaker 1: can't run away from the challenge. It's gonna be a
Speaker 1: hard matchup. But guy's got to be able to be
Speaker 1: in his face, um and making him earn every catch. Now,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have some catches, um, but those catchers need
Speaker 1: to come with media tackles afterwards. Um and limiting the
Speaker 1: yards after catch and and making somebody else beat us. Uh.
Speaker 1: So from a cover standpoint, you know, we're still working
Speaker 1: that out and seeing how we feel about matchups. But um,
Speaker 1: we don't plan to do anything too too far out
Speaker 1: of our character. He's not backing down at all, and
Speaker 1: you know he wants that matchup and um, which is good.
Speaker 1: You know he's not afraid of it. He's not gonna
Speaker 1: play so off. He's gonna be competing, and that's that's
Speaker 1: what we want the desire every Um No, I mean
Speaker 1: we hadn't really pressured that much or showing that looked
Speaker 1: too much. Um, and I'm always usually in those formations,
Speaker 1: I'm tied to the line of screaming anyway, any others
Speaker 1: back to me, you know, hard play action away from me,
Speaker 1: and as soon as he set up, you know, it's
Speaker 1: really the guy who didn't see me was the tight
Speaker 1: end to that. To my side, Um, well, I think
Speaker 1: it was in charge of blocking me and didn't see me. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Poston didn't see me. And so you know when you
Speaker 1: when you run that play action and you turn it
Speaker 1: back to the defense, you as a quarterback, you're you
Speaker 1: got a lot of faith in you, in your line
Speaker 1: and in the protection, and it just you know, came open.
Speaker 1: Never again. Um, it really, you know, it was all
Speaker 1: based off of that. That wasn't that wasn't playing necessarily
Speaker 1: like that. Um. We just knew certain looks we were
Speaker 1: going to try to attack. Um other looks. We probably
Speaker 1: played more coverage. So we had a good game plan.
Speaker 1: They just happened to give us a look that and
Speaker 1: you know, obviously versus a call that was really opportunistic.
Speaker 1: So it's a good call by Jim. Please, you guys
Speaker 1: in this conference, No, it's not many guys like Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown anyway, you talk about just even his skill set
Speaker 1: on his route running, Um, you know, it's the amount
Speaker 1: of targets he gets, his production, his ability to stress
Speaker 1: the field. I think the closest guy in our division
Speaker 1: is probably Aldell Beckham, but um, you know he's he
Speaker 1: You talk about the amount of production that Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: puts out year in a year out, Um, it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's really unmatched relationship communicate right around. I mean it's
Speaker 1: hard on you. You know, it's it's it's a tough matchup.
Speaker 1: And that's what makes it often so good. And as
Speaker 1: soon as you try to, you know, divert all your
Speaker 1: attention to Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger, they hand it off,
Speaker 1: you know, to to Williams. And you know he's been
Speaker 1: a great back in his league for a long time,
Speaker 1: very productive, very hard runner. Um. And so they make
Speaker 1: you stay honest. And so guys are gonna have to
Speaker 1: win matchups and and and that's there's no way around it.
Speaker 1: Either we're gonna have to be able to stop the
Speaker 1: run and sometimes we're gonna be one on one with
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. Are gonna have to win those matchups? Yeah,
Speaker 1: people trying he still catches the ball and even in
Speaker 1: bracket coverage, he knows how I mean, they have that
Speaker 1: relationship where they know the looks that they're getting, they
Speaker 1: know the weaknesses of it, um, and they do a
Speaker 1: good job of having a lot of different checks and
Speaker 1: outlets built into the play calls. So if you stack
Speaker 1: the box and it's not a good run, he can
Speaker 1: always check to a screen. And then you got Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown in space. If you got too many guys on
Speaker 1: the perimeter, they run it. Everybody's you know, choked up.
Speaker 1: They can throw a deep so it's a lot of
Speaker 1: outlets for them to really get themselves out of trouble
Speaker 1: and put themselves in the best situation. And so you know,
Speaker 1: it's really gonna come down to those one on one matchups.
Speaker 1: Can you cover it? Not only cover, but can you
Speaker 1: tackle in space one on one UM and make them
Speaker 1: earn their way down the field, play in and play
Speaker 1: out and not give up a cheap easy one over time. UM.
Speaker 1: I think early, you know, probably like an Andrew Luck.
Speaker 1: You know, I think Andrew had a pretty good grasp
Speaker 1: of his offense. Is Rocky Year made some mistakes and
Speaker 1: I think it's obviously a small sample we talk about
Speaker 1: two games. But he's been impressive. You know, as far
Speaker 1: as I've seen the amount of confidence he's he has
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, uh, the ability to stand in
Speaker 1: the pocket, throw it and get hit and then do
Speaker 1: it again. UM. So he's a very courageous quarterback, sometimes
Speaker 1: almost too courageous. But you know, it's been impressive. I think,
Speaker 1: just like you know, the rest of the country that's
Speaker 1: sitting back watching him and in kind of awe. It's
Speaker 1: the same with the veterans on the team. You know,
Speaker 1: we you know, we keep waiting for those rookie moments
Speaker 1: to come and so far they haven't, which has been
Speaker 1: good for us. They've you know, turned into win So
Speaker 1: hopefully he can continue to get better. Um and you know, defensively,
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll continue to help him out good enough to
Speaker 1: be too enough from
