1 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: True guys are such a high volume of the offense. 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: Who you're talking about Vary Brown. Yeah, they got a 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: lot of I mean targets, production, um, yards, touching, Like 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: they do a lot for the offense. Um. But the 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: crazy thing is like you can turn on games where 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: Advance McDonald is out there having a great game. Um, 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: you can turn on games where Connor's out there running 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: while so Um, even though those two guys have a 9 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: lot of production and targets, it's not one of those 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: games where it's like if you only take away these 11 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: two guys, you're going to win because they have other 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: talented guys. Um. Those two guys are just really good 13 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: into each other Schuesters grown Um, Yeah, I think that's 14 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: what it is. Though they're two great players, so um, 15 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: how do they compliment each other by being great? You know, 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: I think whether it's you know, Schuster catching a ninety 17 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown or uh, Antonio Brown beating the coverage 18 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: and getting over top, you really can't fall asleep. And 19 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, even though they're different, it's not one of 20 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: those things where it's like, well, this guy's going deep 21 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: and this guy's not. They both are different, but they 22 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: do a lot of the same things on the field 23 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: that make it hard to set your defense. You know, 24 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: it's not like one guy's a possession receiver and other 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: guys a vertical threat, or you know, one guy's a 26 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: guy that's gonna only run crossers and try to beat 27 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: you with speed horizon like. They both do all of 28 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: those things. So I think how versatile they are helps 29 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: them because they don't just align that one position either. 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: They're in different spots in the offense, which makes it 31 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: tough to kind of set a defense to just stop 32 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: those two From the back end of things. Are you 33 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: seeing any reason for the breakdown to the run defense 34 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: at all? Anything you can pinpoint that, No, we just 35 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: all got to do a better job of eleven guys. 36 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: Run defense comes down to eleven guys being where you 37 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: expect them to be on whatever coverage or defense you're in. 38 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: So we just have to do a better job of it. Obviously, 39 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: when you talk run game pass game, it starts up 40 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: front and go second level, then it goes third level. 41 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: So um, it's all three of those levels doing a 42 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: good job whenever the runs called. And you know, I 43 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: think we watched that we're trying to figure that out 44 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: and that's something we know we got to get correct. 45 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: This under the fact that you guys just prepared for 46 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: for Theila and Diggs a couple weeks ago help you 47 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: at all this week when you're kind of going up 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: against another one of those elite receiving duos or um, 49 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: there's some carryover. Um, but I think helps us out 50 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: more as playing these guys last year, Like we know, 51 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: uh kind of what we're up against, Like we saw 52 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: both those guys last year, m Antonio Brown got hurt, 53 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: but we had to prepare for both of them and 54 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: you last year adding Martavis Bryant, So um, you know 55 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: between Washington and Switcher, we know you know one of 56 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: those guys. Hey, we're bail being there too. So UM, 57 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, I think that little bit of knowledge from 58 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: last year and how we prepared as far as just 59 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: how good those guys are help. Um. It's not the 60 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: same as far as you know everything that we're preparing 61 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: this year and last year, but um, I think that's 62 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: the best you know, comparison I can give. So I 63 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: feel like you guys go a different places, different fans 64 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: except for pitsphare just yeah judges you even more to 65 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: be like against them. Yeah, it is, I mean, and 66 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: Bill spoke about that this week. You know, as far 67 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: as Jude tradition, you know, they don't have even that 68 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: many coaches in the history of the pitch work stealers. 69 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: So um, it's fans that have been riding with those 70 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,399 Speaker 1: guys forever. You know, it's I guess passed down generational. 71 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: So um, we know that we know it'll be terrible 72 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: tiles waving. Um. We know at one point to drop 73 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: their theme song and the crowd will go crazy. Um. 74 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: But it's a fun atmosphere. You know, it's gonna be 75 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: that playoff type atmosphere where it feels like both teams 76 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: just have to win this game. And I know their 77 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: fans will bring that kind of energy. So um, you 78 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: know we might get ten fifteen future fans. Um. You know, 79 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: whoever can probably find a ticket to get in there 80 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: or try to get in there. See Roethlisberger strugle a 81 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: little bit, the characteristic mistakes. Have you seen anything different 82 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: from him him than what you've been preparing for, at 83 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: least in the last few years, you know, I mean, 84 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: I think I think Roethlisberger Brady breed like these guys 85 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: that they have three mistakes in a season, It's like, man, 86 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: this guy's struggling. You know, they've been at that high level, 87 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: that elite level for so many years. Um, you know 88 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't make a difference. Like this usual this week 89 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: he's coming off injury, he'll be there, He'll be playing. Um, 90 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: he's not gonna play different. He's still gonna be throwing 91 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: guys off that's trying to tackle him in the pocket. 92 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: So um. You know he's a guy who puts stress 93 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: on everyone. You know, even if you pressure him and 94 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: you get there, you have to tackle him. Um. If 95 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: he buys time, you have to cover from the line 96 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: of scrimmage all the way to sixty yards deep. If 97 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: he just wants to throw the ball and launch a 98 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: deep so um, he puts a lot of pressure I 99 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: think on the whole defense. Nine years in the league 100 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: and just sort of like crazy, like leading on a 101 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: call an official and a like a review that Jesse 102 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: Jens catched from last year. If sort of rank I 103 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: guess you know in your career in terms of just 104 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: craziness and sort of waiting on you know what the 105 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: result would be. Um, I don't know. I've never even 106 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: thought about it. Um. I guess it'd be pretty high, 107 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: you know, I think at that point in the game. 108 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, it's it was one of those 109 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: things where we're waiting to see and um. I think 110 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: in those moments though, in games like so much as 111 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: kind of preparing for what's next, um, that you don't 112 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: really have time to think about what it's going to be. 113 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: It's like, well, if it's this is this were that's 114 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: what we're doing on the sideline or as a group 115 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: of guys in the middle trying to prepare for what's next, 116 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: So um, you don't even have time. I think like 117 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: when you watch as a spectator, you're just sitting on 118 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: the edge of your seat waiting, um. But as players, 119 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: we're trying to discuss what will happen next with either 120 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: way the call goes and that is what happened next. 121 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: I mean you still had to close it. We close, 122 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: we had to play another play or two, Like we 123 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: didn't know what it was going to be, but we 124 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: had to prepare, um, and we knew the clock was 125 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: gonna run right. Well, So like all of those things 126 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: that we have talked about, situationally, uh and meetings kind 127 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: of get used and that was the one time it 128 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: got used all year. Um, probably the one time it 129 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: might have got used or maybe two times in my 130 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: whole career. So um, it's a lot of you know, 131 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: communication and try to prepare for that because we've all 132 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: heard it over and over again. But it's different when 133 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: you got to wrap it. Kevin, if you we were 134 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: off a Mike's question, if you talked about the Jesse 135 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: James play, but the play on that last drive where 136 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: he catches and he runs fifty yardists in terms of 137 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: the need to play sixty minutes this week and also 138 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: tackle and because he got away from a couple of tackles. 139 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: That is that play come up at all? It hasn't, 140 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: But I mean we that general concept of playing sixty 141 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: minutes leverage, tackling comes up daily. So um, you know 142 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: we didn't like go back and watch that but as 143 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: a group, but I think we all know that will 144 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: show up, um at different parts of the game with 145 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: this team like you to pull up obviously wasn't the 146 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: end of the game situation. But the ninety seven yard 147 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: touchdown by Schuster this year where you know it catches 148 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: a nine route makes a guy miss stiff ons you know, 149 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: like that that comes down to leverage and tackling, not 150 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: giving up ninety seven yards, you know, try to shut 151 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: that down at twenty five thirty yards if he makes 152 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: a catchdown field, which I mean, they got good players. 153 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: They're gonna make some plays, but we gotta limit the 154 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: big plays. Mark to Jason and seems like they're short 155 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: of be a Schuster and Brown they're really fast, so 156 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: seven make it more challenging because they could sort of 157 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: move them around and you know, you don't know exactly 158 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: where they're gonna be. Yeah, it was just talking about 159 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: like how did they compliment each other, like by both 160 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: being great? You know, it's not you know, I think 161 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: sometimes you talk about running back duos and you're like 162 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: thunder and lightning, like this guy's this way With these guys, 163 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: they are different, you know, body types in a little 164 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: bit how they play. But they both can go deep, 165 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: they both can go across the middle. They both can 166 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,239 Speaker 1: run under routes and catching and take it the distance. 167 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: So I think the versatility that both guys have probably 168 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: creates the most challenges for a defense that you can't 169 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: just sit in a defense and say Antonio Brown's here, 170 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: Shusters here this is what we're going like, we don't 171 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: know all of that stuff, so it's a little bit 172 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: on the move and you have to have a high 173 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: awareness aware they're at final questions for Devin. Thanks setting, 174 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: no problem.
