1
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Do you remember about what you were thinking and watch

2
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: that Jesse James sort of catch no catch last year

3
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: when you got to read bits. But uh, I mean

4
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: I haven't thought about that since you know it happened,

5
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: But we haven't brought it up or anything this whole week.

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: So we've just been focusing on the game this Sunday. Boy,

7
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's probably I probably was thinking the same

8
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: thing as everyone else, like like what's going on, what

9
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: happened and all that, but just really focused now on

10
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: this the game the Sunday and just studying up and preparing.

11
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: Obviously staying warm and staying warm. It was chilly out there.

12
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: I had to have the jacket I don't have to practice.

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: Probably is it about the Steelers where you seem to

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: find consistent success against those guys? Just playing ball, just

15
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: going out and just doing what we gotta do, preparing

16
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: throughout the week and going out and executed, just executing plays,

17
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: and that's what we gotta keep on doing. Just been

18
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: having good practice week this week. I got to keep

19
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: on building chemistry out there with the whole offense, and

20
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: when we go out there Sunday, we got to be

21
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: prepared mentally and physically, and we got to execute plays

22
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: in order to put up points. How do you anticipate

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: they'll try to match up with you? Obviously last year

24
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: went the way it did, especially late in the game.

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: Do you think they'll they'll try to throw something different

26
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: at you? I feel like they'll throw a lot of things.

27
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean I've seen a lot from them before, a

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: lot of coverages, less split safety, post safety, man zone

29
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: they play. They switch it up a lot too, and

30
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: so I've had a couple of guys before a linebacker

31
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: covery one time, a safety or a corner. So tell

32
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: you truth, they actually mix it up a lot, and

33
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: you gotta be prepared for it all whatever coverage, whatever, guy.

34
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: It is the type of atmosphere are you expecting Sunday

35
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: at twenty five? I mean, it's the same thing as

36
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: every year, every time we play them, Every time we

37
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: go there, it's always like a four o'clock game, gets

38
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: dark by four thirty night atmosphere and it's always popping.

39
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: It's a football atmosphere, it's a football town. It's it's

40
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: all about Steelers. So it's gonna be a great atmosphere.

41
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun to play in

42
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: like like it always is, he said after the game,

43
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: you said it again, you're just building that chemistry up.

44
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're in a better rhythm now

45
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: after a game like Sunday, Yeah, definitely, And you gotta

46
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: keep on building from it. You just can't have, you know,

47
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: a good week and then stop from there. You gotta

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: keep it going. You gotta keep it continuing. You gotta

49
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: keep putting that working. It's a long season, it's a

50
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: new week every single week. So just been working on it,

51
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: working hard, been going out to practice, doing what we

52
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: have to do, and you just want to keep on

53
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: building from what you got. What you got your experience

54
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: against Sean Davis, what stands out key? He's a good player.

55
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: Definitely plays hired, Uh that doesn't you know, always consistent,

56
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: always going hard, and guys like that, you got to

57
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: always be on top of your game because they're playing

58
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: Hired every single play and it's always challenging. Well, their

59
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: run defense has been exceptional this year. What's the kind

60
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: of the key to unblocking some of their schemes to

61
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: kind of get some mound for your guys? First off,

62
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta get the mental assignment right you

63
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: gotta know who the guy you're blocking. They switch it

64
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: up a little bit, stunts there and there, so you

65
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: gotta have that part right. And then you got to

66
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: block the guys. You got block the defenders and they're

67
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: good players. So you got to be mentally and physically

68
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: ready to be to be prepared and to be able

69
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: to have a run game. So it's always a challenge

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: going in there, no doubt. With the atmosphere, I mean,

71
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: the fans, just the football atmosphere is loud. It's it's

72
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: hard to hear on the offensive side, so you just

73
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: gotta be you gotta be really focused when coming into

74
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: the stadium and coming into this game. He's brought a

75
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: lot the way he just plays, the way he catches

76
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: the ball, gets that burst, gets us the first downs

77
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: when we need it. Uh, just another play on our

78
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: team that's reliable when whenever we need him. So it's

79
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: great to have him and it's great to have him

80
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: part of the team. It looks like he's kind of

81
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction in terms of it catches

82
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: the ketch. Was there a moment where you saw him

83
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: where you said, yeah, this is gonna work for him

84
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: here because there are you guys who come in here

85
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: who just hasn't cleared. I mean, I would say within

86
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: the first week. I mean when he when he when

87
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: he got out there playing in games. I mean just

88
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: the way he's been working every single week, weekend, week out.

89
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: He's been just trying to get better, and you just

90
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: see it on the practice field and then you see

91
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: it in the game. So it's a great guy to

92
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: have out there and phenomenal athlete too. The team's treating

93
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: you guys differently in the reds owner. Is it just

94
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: an execution? Is why he guys are trug I mean,

95
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: I don't think you know, teams are really treating us

96
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: some much different in the redsion. I mean I would

97
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: say that we just need to execute better. Team has

98
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: been just stopping us straight up with what they got,

99
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: So we just got to go out there execute better

100
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: and make more plays. Tom He's had a lot of

101
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: success against the Steelers over the years. Like what is

102
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: stid out to you with what you've seen from him

103
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: when he plays in Pittsburgh or against this team. Just

104
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: his competitive competitiveness. He's just always on top of his game,

105
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: always finding the opening receiver and just always bringing it

106
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: so the way he just plays the game, I mean,

107
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: weekend week out, I mean you really can't just say

108
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: it's versus Steelers, it's versus everyone every single week. And

109
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: the way he just brings us to practice too, so

110
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: he's always ready and always on top of his game,

111
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: no matter really who it is. I can, I can
