1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Cam coach said in the team meeting on Monday that 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: he told everybody the end of the Cleveland game, you 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: can't use that as a distraction to the fact that 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: it was a loss. And I think, and it's fair 5 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: to say a bad loss. So was that message quickly 6 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: received and how do you guys kind of turn the 7 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: page and try to regroup? I think, uh, it was 8 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: a seat but we were already thinking that. You know, 9 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: we had a long weekend to think about that game. 10 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 1: So coming in Monday, I thought everybody addressed it and 11 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: moved forward. You know, I think, uh, we've got a 12 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: lot of important games coming up. We just gotta focused 13 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: on that. When you look back at maybe what went wrong, 14 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: how do you fix it? Is it fixable? Is it 15 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: something easy? Was it just simply everybody not executing? How 16 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: do you sum it up? Better be fixable? Um, if 17 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: it's not wearing a lot of trouble. But uh, I think, 18 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think we could do a better job 19 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: of not letting the players get extended. Um, I thought 20 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: we really struggled in that aspect. Um, you know, we 21 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: gotta get Baker on the ground or any quarterback. Um, 22 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, they can't you know, continue to have time 23 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: and you know, buy time for their receivers because that 24 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: puts a lot of stress on our dv. Um. You know, 25 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: I thought we stopped to run okay, but I think 26 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: there are times where we could be more stout. You 27 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: were voted one of the four captains for two thousand nineteen. Unfortunately, 28 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: heading into the Bengals game for a number of reasons, 29 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: you were the only one playing in it. Is that 30 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: added pressure? Do you not think about it or do 31 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: you always just maybe try to be that guy to 32 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: rally the truth? I didn't think about it till now. 33 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: You know, I want to make sure I'm not gonna 34 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: wood and I'm healthy. But uh, you know, whatever this 35 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: team needs. UM, If I gotta lead a little bit more, 36 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: so be it. But uh, you know the good thing 37 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: about playing here is UM, just because you have to 38 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: see on your chest doesn't mean you're not a captain 39 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: or a leader. UM. We got a lot of guys 40 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: that lead in different ways. You know, you got t J. 41 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: Ramone Foster. Um. You know, David DeCastro doesn't say a lot, 42 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: but let's just play do the talking. Um. So we're 43 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: gonna rely on a lot of different guys to lead 44 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: and it's just gotta be that way for six more games, 45 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: So we give these playoffs. Does the team need anything 46 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: different or maybe extra because of the fact, as you said, 47 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: it was a third the game and you have to 48 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: wait so long to play the next game to maybe 49 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: try to get that bad taste out of your mouth. No, 50 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: I think you gotta you know, run with that. You know. 51 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: I think with the extra time we get to think 52 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: about it, mistakes a little bit more um and hopefully 53 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: we can correct it for the next game. Um, you know, 54 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: hopefully just makes us you know, on edge a little 55 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: bit more and more urgency is coming forward. What does 56 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: Marquise Pouncing mean to this team, not just as a captain, 57 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: but just somebody who's been here for so long and 58 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: is maybe that guy that everybody looks up to. He's 59 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: a go to guy. He's a guy that you can 60 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: rely on, who's got the job done, um, and who 61 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: excels against you know, anybody he goes against. So I 62 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: know we're gonna be uh missing him for a little 63 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: bit of time, but BJ's gotta step up and the 64 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: other old linement gotta pick up up around him. You're 65 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: trying to throw the ball down the field kind of 66 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: structor running up the field, prick up bubble. People think 67 00:02:53,480 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: if Fitzpatrick running up the sack, good by and pick 68 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: your pomps on it, and we're in up the side 69 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: line outside the number officially in nineties six yard touchdown 70 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: return when Ben went down. I think the defense kind 71 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: of took it upon themselves to say, all right, we 72 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: need to step up more to help the offense, knowing 73 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: that you could potentially be without a number of other 74 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: keymakers on offense. More pressure, what do you guys do? 75 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: More pressure better turn to more turnovers um and more 76 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: sacks and more you know, touchdowns on our our defenses 77 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: out of all, you know, I think if we can 78 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: do that and create an atmosphere where, um, you know, 79 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: you're not just relying on the offense to good points, 80 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: you're getting them some short fields and then we're converting 81 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: as the offense side of the ball, that's a successful 82 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: winning in your opinion, who's one of the I guess 83 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: more underrated players on the defense for the Steelers underrated players? 84 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: Uh you know, I think, um, you've watched this season. 85 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean Steve Nelson has really jump jumped out to me. 86 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: Um doesn't say a lot, goes about his business. Um, 87 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: and I think the thing we love about it is 88 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of catches happening on the out 89 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: side of the ball. Um. You know, he just you know, 90 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: he's quiet, he's a he's an assassin. Um, he gets 91 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: a job done. And then another guy I don't want 92 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: to forget about, uh Tyson a little little Um. You know, 93 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: that's my running made out there. Um. You know he's 94 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: a little bit older than me, but uh, I like 95 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: to keep I like to say he's the old man 96 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: in the group. But uh, you know, he's very steady 97 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: for us. Um and the guy we can rely on 98 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: going forward. Other than the changing quarterback, What is the 99 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: biggest difference in terms of since he's offense since the 100 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: last time you guys saw them. I think they just 101 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: rely on Joe makes it a little bit more, you know, 102 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, with a new quarterback, you 103 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: want settling in with a good running game. And um, 104 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: I think a couple of weeks ago he had like 105 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: thirty carries and I was a cleer high for him. 106 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: So um, you know, we gotta make sure we get 107 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: after him stopped to run and then make him one 108 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: dimensional over fifty sacks for you fifteen a half? Does 109 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 1: that mean anything? Uh, we'll see when we're done playing, 110 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: and let's see where I'm at. That wasn't like a 111 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: number that you're like it. I know I can hit 112 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: it this season. Maybe I really didn't think about that, 113 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think, uh, you know, there's greats Uh, 114 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: they're still above me. Um, and I want to catch them. 115 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: But my main goal is to win games, not to 116 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: just get sacks. I have to give credit to the 117 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: PR department, but I threw out the stat on Twitter 118 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: today that the Steelers are eight and oh when you 119 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: have at least two sacks in a game, I know 120 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: you told me that, but that's kind of phenomenal, right, 121 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: and we just gotta fingers crossed. Yeah, let me get 122 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: some more sacks and hopefully we can keep this record 123 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: going
