Speaker 1: Cam Going back to the win in Buffalo. After the game,

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: coach Tomlin said, you guys just played Steelers defense. In

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: your mind, what are the character traits of the Steelers

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: defense you guys want to have this season? Yeah, we

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: talked about it every day. UM, an organization. You know,

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: the standard is a standard. You know, everyone has an

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: accountability each and every time step out there in the field.

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: UM to hold this up to a standard, a high

9
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: standard at that squad during play, Like he says, it's

10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: still a brand of football, you know, going out there

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: competing at a high level each and every now you know,

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: communicating UM pre snap host snap. Yeah, they're just playing fast,

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: physical and free. You know that just kind of defines

14
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: our style of play. You know, our identity who we

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: are and obviously you know each and every time you

16
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: step out in the field, we're ready to get after

17
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: our opponents. You have a few to choose from, but

18
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: you have a favorite play from that win? Yeah. We

19
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: had so many guys UM make make make you know,

20
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: different difference making plays throughout the course of the game. UM.

21
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: I think the biggest ones I'm probably most excited for

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: obviously TJ. You know, UM, a guy who you know,

23
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: he was dealing with some things, you know, necessarily off

24
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: the field. You know, a guy who stayed around the organization,

25
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, came to work each and every day. UM,

26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: humble as ever, UM, and just you know, opportunity that

27
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: you know, not necessarily getting miss if necessarily the amount

28
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: of reps um that he might have wanted, you know,

29
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: to prepare, but to come out there to see him

30
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: play at a high level, continuous growth in his game,

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: continuous growth, team leadership. UM. Just the energy that he brings,

32
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: you know. UM, it's contagious to see. It's cortagious to

33
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: be around. And I was, you know, streaming happy for him.

34
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: T J said, the fourth and one stop you had

35
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: late in the game is what he called. That's funny.

36
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: You know, we came in together. I appreciate you appreciate him,

37
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, just giving me up that uh kind of

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: nod to that play. But like I said, guys, yous

39
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: are just playing for each other. You know that. I

40
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: think that's the best thing about um, this team. You know,

41
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: we played for one another. UM. It's easy to kind

42
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: of get caught up in just you know that being

43
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: a word or a phrase, you know, to a team

44
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: or to you know, kind of defining a style. Um,

45
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, but our karaderie and just kind of you know,

46
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: our friendship and our love for each other, and that

47
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: really takes us a long way. And we're always excited

48
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: for whoever makes the plays out there, no matter you know,

49
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,360

50
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: We just want to win. N want a job. Norwood.

51
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: What did you see from Trade Norwood in his first game?

52
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: It was amazing, you know, guy who didn't get wide eyed.

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: You know, a guy who came a very focused, very

54
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: sharp guy. You know, he has a lot of tools

55
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: in his bag. You know, obviously very communicative. UM. And

56

Speaker 1: again you know guys who was held to a high standard. UM.

57
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: And and he doesn't you know, shy away from that.

58
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: You know, he runs, he runs to that. UM. You know,

59
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm very excited for what he's gonna do for for

60
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: us for the rest of the year. UM can move

61
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: them around, very interchangeable peace for us. And he plays fast,

62
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: he plays physical. Um, he's very smart. Uh, he's a

63
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: very well browned guy. I love him. When the Steelers

64
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: drafted him, coach Tomlin announced and said he's a Swiss

65
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: Army knife, which is something he said about you before.

66
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: Do you see a little bit of you and him

67
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: most definitely and especially throughout you know, our defense. That's

68
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: kind of guys that we have to have in this

69
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: building and in his defense, you know, to to to

70
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: really get us to where we want to go as

71
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: a team. Uh, those interchangeable pieces to god gaining and

72
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: move around, Uh, play different positions on the back end.

73
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: And then we're having guys even on the second level

74
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: and the front level as well who are interchangeable. Um.

75
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: And that just gives us different looks, very different schematics, um,

76
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: you know. And it's just different different things that that

77
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: helped us, you know, put together, you know, well, game

78
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: plans for the teams that we attack, teach and every

79
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: week we obviously know that's offensive league and and and

80
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: as it is, you know, teams are doing everything that

81
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: they can to attack us and get themselves in the

82
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: best situations. So we have to be ready to you know,

83
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: combat that and and give us and put our best

84
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: foot forward. Shocking of gold stop Shott touched up. I'm

85
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: pretty sure everybody saw what Darren Waller was able to

86
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: do on Monday Night Football what he means to that

87
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Raider's offense coach said, he is more like Chase Claypool,

88
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: somebody you've gone against a lot, especially in training camp.

89
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: So what makes defending a guy like that so difficult? Yeah, obviously,

90
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: you know what you already see a big physical you know,

91
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: a guy can move. Um, you know, don't get caught

92
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: up in their size. You know, those guys that that

93
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: can build to speed and get going and hurry, you know,

94
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: and I would see the same things that you do

95
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: with the ball, um, you know he does without the

96
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: ball as well. They do a great job moving him around,

97
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: do great jobs of pre snafp shifts and motions and

98
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: kind of challenge the defense and highs and where guys

99
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: are lining up and um, you know, we just have

100
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: to be very sharpened on our p's and ques and

101
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: just communication of all levels. And like I said, well Waller,

102
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: you know, we know we're going to expect for him,

103
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: you know, a high targeted guy, UM, a big focal

104
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: point of their offense. You know. Obviously, an ascending player

105
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: who keeps getting better each and every year. And we

106
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: see the steps that he's he's been taking, you know,

107
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: for that organization over there, so, um, you know, we

108
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: just have to be ready for how they're going to

109
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: use them throughout the course of the game. And I said,

110
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: just get out to him as well. Lastly, you guys

111
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,919
