1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: You've obviously been in this league a long time. The 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: idea of this, you know, the rollercoasters, back and forth, 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: up and down. How do you guys handle You know, 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: two weeks ago you were on top of the world, 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: flying back from Seattle, and now two weeks later, it's 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: what's wrong? What happened? Everything is falling apart. You've gotten 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: used to this, unfortunately, of the ebbs and flows. But 8 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: from your perspective, what have you seen and how do 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: you how do you keep this and get this back rolling. 10 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 2: The right way? 11 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 3: I'm singing it day by day. You know, I think 12 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 3: the most important thing is getting back to work this week. 13 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 3: I practice and executing and practice and building good habits 14 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 3: and then allowing those habits to roll over in the Sunday. 15 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 3: You know, you can't live in the past. What's happened 16 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 3: has happened. We can't do anything about it. But what 17 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 3: we can't do is attack this week with a great 18 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 3: mindset and go out there Sunday and play the best 19 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: of our ability. Rank Jonathan. 20 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 4: There is one thing coach Table said after the Eagles 21 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 4: the end of the day is that he thinks one 22 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 4: of the reasons that Daniel Jones can't create more explosive plays. 23 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 4: Is that you know he has some guys around him 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 4: that can create explosive plays. So I'm wondering, just what 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 4: do you guys as are seating room think right now 26 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 4: that you need to do better? 27 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 3: Make them when we get the chance. You know, you 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 3: don't control when your shots come, but you know you 29 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: control how they go and you get them. And I 30 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 3: think that you know, as from a receiver standpoint, all 31 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: you can do is is you know, make catch the 32 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: ball when it comes your way and then try to 33 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 3: do something with it when you get in your hands. 34 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 3: And like you said, you know, we have a lot 35 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 3: of capable guys on this team, and you know we 36 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: just have to do a better job of doing that 37 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 3: going forward. 38 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean what goes into you know, yards after 39 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 4: the catch and trying to do more in space when 40 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 4: these guys get the ball, Like, what do you guys 41 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 4: do in practice? 42 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: I guess to work on that, Yeah, I mean some 43 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 3: of it is scheme. You know, certain routes are easier 44 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: to catch them on with the ball than others, but 45 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 3: mostly just starts as we're just attacking the ball and 46 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: having a mindset that you're going to you know, not 47 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: just go down or not just catch and fall or 48 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 3: you know, not just catching look to be conservative, and 49 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 3: you know, having that attacking mindset as a wide out 50 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 3: kind of helps you build that habit. And then you know, 51 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 3: once you have that habit, it just starts to show 52 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: up more and more. Thank you. 53 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: All. Schwartz. Hey, Darius good Good, do you have any 54 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: theory or explanation as to why your team is so 55 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: much better on the road than at home, especially. 56 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 3: The offense, other than coincidence, I couldn't necessarily point to 57 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 3: anything specific. It's just so happening this year that we've played, 58 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 3: you know, better on the road than we have at home. Obviously, 59 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 3: you know we want to play better at home. You know, 60 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 3: that's the fun part, you know, is be able to 61 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 3: play in front of your own fans and score and 62 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: you know, be able to celebrate with you know, your 63 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 3: seventy thousand plus strong. But you know, obviously, you know 64 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 3: this week we're on the road again, So hopefully we 65 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 3: do continue to play a high level on the road 66 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 3: that'll bode well for us. But whenever it does come 67 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 3: time for us to play at home again, you know, 68 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 3: obviously we we plan and hope to put a better 69 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 3: performance out there. 70 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: You know, you know, you've been on the road for 71 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: you know, many games you've been at home, and you 72 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: know with the road entails, you know, the hostile crowd, 73 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, whatever, towels, you can't. 74 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: Hear on offense, all that stuff. 75 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: Do you feel differently, you know what I mean? 76 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: And at home does some of that maybe the fans, 77 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: you know, not a good start, the fans getting on 78 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: your their own team. 79 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: Does that pressure you? 80 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you know when you take the field at 81 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: home on the road, is there a difference that may 82 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: be ways on you me specifically? 83 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean you know you can speak for yourself 84 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: more than a tea. 85 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, not really. I mean, I guess 86 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: when you're on the road, like, the mindset is definitely 87 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: different because it literally is just us. You know, it's 88 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 3: us and you know whatever. You know, fans have traveled 89 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 3: to the game, so obviously you know we're significantly outnumbered. 90 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 3: So's it's more of a back against the wall feeling 91 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: when you're on the road. So it kind of brings 92 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 3: you together as a team, you know, in that mindset 93 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 3: and just kind of building around that. And then obviously 94 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 3: you know when you're when you have a home game, 95 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 3: you know, it's kind of like, all right, we're right 96 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: at home. You know, it's you know, it's our people, 97 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 3: our fans. You know, we know they're going to be 98 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: on our side. So it's definitely two different mindsets. But 99 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, none of that has 100 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 3: anything to do with running, blocking, catching, and tackling, And 101 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, we have to do 102 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: those things better if we want to win. So that's 103 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 3: kind of why I said it's coincidence, because you know, 104 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 3: it doesn't cheering or booing doesn't help you catch or 105 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: throw any better, you know, So that's that's what we 106 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 3: got to do to win. And yeah, thanks, Derek, appreciate 107 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 3: We'll take two more. 108 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 2: Mark Cannazero, th Yarian's appreciate you doing this. Just coming 109 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: off with Palls a question there a moment ago about 110 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: being on the road specifically. I don't believe you've played 111 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh if I'm not mistaken, but it's historically a 112 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: very difficult place for road teams to play, and I'm 113 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: curious what your impression is from what you know of it, 114 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 2: and you can talk about their defense, how difficult they 115 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 2: are to deal with. 116 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, from what I've heard, it's an intense football environment, 117 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 3: you know, obviously very hostile. You know, they're very passionate 118 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: fans over there in Pittsburgh. That's what I've heard from 119 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: all accounts and obviously on film. You know, their defense 120 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 3: is very talented. They have a really good front. They 121 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: got talent and youth in the back end. They got 122 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 3: backers that you know, fit, aggressive, and I think probably 123 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 3: for the past shoot before even some of y'all was born, 124 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 3: the Steelers have lived up to a standard on defense 125 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 3: and they've maintained that for a really long time and 126 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 3: they still hold that true. And it's obviously going to 127 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: take a physical, four minute game, four quarter game for 128 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 3: us to be able to beat them. 129 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 2: Thank you. 130 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: Lots on Tom Canneman. 131 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: Hey, Darius, how you doing. 132 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: I'm good? Are you good? 133 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: If you were to look at the Pittsburgh offense, which 134 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 2: you just did, I mean, number wise, they're very good 135 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 2: against the run there, I think second against in scoring defense. 136 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 3: I mean, is it that simple that? I mean they're 137 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: twenty second on pass defense? Is it that simple? 138 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: That's where you attack. 139 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 3: Not necessarily? I mean you have to run the ball 140 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 3: in order to you know, you can't just go out 141 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: there and throw the ball every play. So, you know, 142 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 3: regardless of you know, how good or bad a team 143 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: is against the pass or run, you have to do both. 144 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: You know, you have to be balanced. So you know, 145 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 3: like I said, they're a physical unit. They're a good unit, 146 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,119 Speaker 3: but obviously we got to attack them in the ground 147 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 3: and attack them in the air and those things. You know, 148 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 3: hitting people on the ground helps with the pass game, 149 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 3: helps the pass protection, helps get linebackers, you know, further up, 150 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: which allow for bigger passing lanes. So you know, obviously 151 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: we're gonna have to we have to do a variety 152 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: of things to keep them off balanced.
