1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Oh it's uh, you're always good to start off the

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: season like that. I thought our guys who really did

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: a great job this week and preparing, um, you know

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: for a really good Pittsburgh team, and we just played

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: well across the board and offense, defense, special teams. We

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: made plays in all three phases of the game. We

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: got a good field position out of the kicking game

8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: and move the ball and score points on offense and

9
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: you know held the three points on defense. So let's

10
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: give the players of credit. They were they were ready

11
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: to go. They played well, and you know we'll turn

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: a page here and you know, move on to you know, Miami.

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: We're obviously we haven't done very well down there. So

14
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: I got a big week in front of us. But

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: good to get all through a good start. A long

16
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: way to go, a lot of things we can still

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: keep working on get better at. But um, you know,

18
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: players are ready to go to night. They did a

19
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: good job, Hey bill um big play at uh second

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: quarter was a defense made a couple of big stops.

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Dah tuned it into point each that kind of opened

22
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: up the game. Yeah, I thought our our defensive players

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: played well, you know, across the board. We got and

24
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: it's hard to get to Roethlisberger. He's does a good

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: job back there. But I thought we were you know,

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: around them and covered well, tackled well. Um And it's

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: a very good group of skilled players, and our players

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: really competed hard against him today. So we had a

29
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: couple of third down stops, four down stops stopped down

30
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: around the goal line. So you know, we made some

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: big plays and we had to bill when when things

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: unfold the way they did with Kyle van Noy and

33
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: he's unavailable to you, what is the trickle down effected

34
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: that personnel wise, and how did you think you guys,

35
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: I responded to that, Uh yeah, well, we had planned

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: on having five outside linebackers active, so fortunately that was

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: position that we have pretty good depth. That's the four

38
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: guys there, Calhoun, Winovic, Simon and Um and uh Jamie Um.

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, really, you know, they did a good job.

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: I mean they all play and I think they all

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, play fairly well on defense as a group,

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: so that it was fortunate that we had we had

43
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: some depth there. But but look, I mean that could happen,

44
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: you know, in the first play of the game anyway,

45
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: So you always have to be read for that, but

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: you know, our guys just monit to it. Well. I

47
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: was they did a great job. Um, Bill, your offense

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: was obviously very productive tonight. But Antonio Brown already put

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: out on social media that he's joining your team. What

50
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: might he d Can you tell us anything about that decision? Yeah, no,

51
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: I'll talk about the game players are on our team.

52
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: I thought they did a great job tonight. Offensively. We

53
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: had some balance and made some big plays, had a

54
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: couple of big throws down the field for touchdowns and

55
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: big games. So you know, anytime you can get those

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: explosive plays, that helps open things up. Bill, can you

57
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: talk about the evolution of Philip doors set in this offense.

58
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: He seemed real comfortable tonight in terms of routs and

59
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: being at the right place at the right time. Phil

60
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: has got a lot of speed. He can definitely stretch

61
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: the field and we've seen him make those big plays before,

62
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: so I've seen him in practice. So, um, you know,

63
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: he had some big catches for us, and again that

64
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: opened up some other things offensively as well. So you know,

65
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: Tom did a great job. You know, hit him, you know,

66
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: solid coverage hit him. I mean sometimes it was the

67
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: toughest throw us or a quarterback when guy's wide open

68
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: and run down the middle of the field. But we

69
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: put it right on him. And Phil has done a

70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: good job for us, been out there every day. You know,

71
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: he's a tough kid that it's been very dependable, smart

72
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: plays all the positions and you know has come through

73
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: for us and all that the Big Games Bill, How

74
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: big of an impact is it when a guy like

75
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: Marcus goes down when the ramifications mean you have two guys,

76
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: one guy coming to the game, one guy playing out

77
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: a position as a result of that injury isupposed to

78
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: one guy just kind of stubb it in. Yeah, well,

79
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: you know most team stakes seven polayers, seven offensive linement

80
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: of the game. That's what we add. So you know,

81
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: obviously something happens, you gonna make a move somewhere. So

82
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: I can't back up her position. Somebody's got to move, coach.

83
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: The last couple of seasons, the defense started a little

84
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: bit and improved as the season's gone on. Today, obviously

85
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: an unbelievable stat do you feel that the group is

86
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: aheads of where they were this time last year in

87
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: terms of their understanding of what their roles and responsibilities are. Yeah,

88
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. We got fifteen games ago. We'll see.

89
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: We'll see what we do this week in Miami. Let's

90
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: take up one game at a time, Bill, Tom Brady

91
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance to work with Josh Gordon or

92
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman much in the preseason. What did you see

93
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: from them in terms of their chemistry tonight? As I said,

94
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: we made a lot of plays offensively. There's still I

95
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: think a lot of room for improvement all across the board.

96
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: You know, those guys will work hard at it as

97
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: they always do. Hopefully we'll continue to be productive. I

98
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: got you here, hey, Bill, just wanted to see do

99
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: you have any comment on the reports and I'll be

100
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. The offensive game plan that you guys installed

101
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: today seemed very intricated. He started heavy, then he came

102
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: back empty. A lot of different things happened on that.

103
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: Could you talk a little bit about the game playing

104
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: that Josh installed and the way it was executed. Yeah,

105
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: Josh always does a great job of utilizing the players

106
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: that are available, putting them in great positions and attacking

107
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: the defense. And every week's a little bit different challenge

108
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: based on the scheme and the players that were up against.

109
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: But you know, Josh does a great job of organizing

110
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: the game plan, play calling, making adjustments in the game.

111
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: I thought it did a great job tonight. Players did

112
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: a great job executing. We took care of the ball,

113
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: We had a lot of positive plays, and so it

114
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: was a good outing bill. It's been a long real

115
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: Friday and win to get to this night. How nice

116
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: was it to see him out there tonight? Yeah, well,

117
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: it's been great to see him out there all training

118
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: camp and each week it's been a little bit more.

119
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: But you know, he's a good football player. I'm glad

120
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: we have him, and you know, glad I got to

121
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: play all night. This was a night with a lot

122
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: of um electricity for the fans at the start. I

123
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: know you guys weren't out there for that, but can

124
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: you feel that at all at the start of the game,

125
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: and then when you guys make some plays to to

126
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: get going. I thought the crowd was deft playing the

127
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: game tonight, but you know, we look we all we

128
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: can do is go out there and you know, play

129
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: hard and try to make plays. So but yeah, I

130
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: thought they were into it for sure. Okay, all right,

131
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: great thank you,
