21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: game plan and and the ball will kind of go

22
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: where it goes based on the way. Uh, it unfolds

23
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: in terms of how they play us and kind of

24
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: you know, take what the defense gives you, kind of

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: an opportunity. So we've got a lot of weapons and

26
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: uh and Lamarrow distribute that thing the way he sees

27
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: fit play to play so much. They don't do even

28
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: the preset oft stuff.

29
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 5: I mean, does it does his absence do you take

30
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 5: away anything that's in your get play?

31
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: No, We've still got all our place, all the players

32
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: that we run, guys will be doing them that are

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: we feel our best suited to do the different jobs.

34
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: And in this game against the opponent we're playing.

35
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 5: How much does it help happen Justice Hill back keeping

36
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 5: you know we're still coming back as well.

37
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: I think helps a lot. I mean, you know, Justice

38
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: as an experienced player, Uh, he's been in these games before.

39
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: He's really vers stile in terms of what he can

40
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: do skill set wise. I mean, he can take some

41
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: of those jobs you're talking about that Zay does. He

42
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: can see in the backfield he's out of the backfield.

43
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: You can put two backs back there. It just gives

44
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: you a lot of options with Justice.

45
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 4: Obviously, this is a big time of the year. A

46
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: big game of what's kind of Zay's mentality right now,

47
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: knowing that he will missed his game time.

48
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: He's locked in on his rehab. I mean, he's locked in.

49
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: Every time I walk in there, he's in there working

50
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: on it. And we'll see how it looks next week.

51
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 5: Jem, We've got you about the offensive line a lot throughout,

52
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 5: you know, even going back to the offseason. But you've

53
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 5: been able to start the same five since I think

54
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 5: it's week four and last week. But carry that, I

55
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 5: think that's about the only time anyone had missed because

56
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 5: of hell. How valuable has it been to build that continuity,

57
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 5: to build that cohesiveness when you're now entering that second seam.

58
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: Very valuable.

59
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's important in every position. You know, it's important

60
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 2: in football. It's an eleven it's an eleven player sport.

61
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of moving parts there, and

62
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: it's always it's always about being cohesive and being on

63
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: the same page and timing and I mean those line

64
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: blocks in there, combination blocks, the communication part of it.

65
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: You know, that's something that really builds up over time.

66
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: And we work the other guys in too, in case

67
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: and those guys, but those guys haven't a chance to

68
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: work together all season, you know, and it was a

69
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: new group, as you know. So I think that's been

70
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 2: really really a big part of the success there.

71
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: Quick how you're going about the weather in the atmosphere?

72
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 4: It comes Saturday, and now even.

73
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: Get yeah excited about the I'm I'm more excited about

74
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: the atmosphere than the weather personally. But uh, you know,

75
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: I think the the weather major aft of the atmosphere

76
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: a little bit too. You know, it's gonna be it's

77
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,480

Speaker 2: to play the kind of football that we're capable of playing.

84
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,280

110
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,840

116
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: do you like what you're feeling from them?

117
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,160

Speaker 2: I mean, they're ready to go, They've worked hard, they've

120
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: it's not you know, it's we don't look at like

121
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: a new season. We look at like an extension of

122
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: the season. It's we are who we are based on

123
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: what we've done and how hard we've worked, and we

124
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: want to keep building on that. Play our best football

125
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 2: right now.

126
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: What was the focus for you guys in today's practice.

127
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 6: I think we were maybe expected to go outside and

128
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 6: see you guys practicing there.

129
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, when we were outside the first two days, you know,

130
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: and we got all of our fast work out there,

131
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: all of our timing. You know, you do get used to,

132
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: you know, throwing and catching in the cold, the wind,

133
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: blowing the ball around, those kind of things, you know,

134
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 2: bumping into each other, as much as we can and

135
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: practice in the cold. But today was an execution day.

136
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: Day.

137
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: Today was a mental sweat, you know, we like to

138
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: call it sometimes, and we were chasing perfect technique, perfect communication,

139
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: perfect execution.

140
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: Today, turn over, marketing.

141
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 3: Focus, playoff in general.

142
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: Had to go about the builds without number one.

143
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think what you said, the last part

144
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: of it right there was probably the key thing technique sound.

145
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 2: You know, just focus on technique sound and keep it simple.

146
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: H You know, I've heard it stated by a former

147
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers coach that greatness is doing the ordinary things

148
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: better than everybody else. And doing the ordinary things is

149
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: the techniques in football, you know, doing the football stuff,

150
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 2: the self evident truths, you know, whether it's you know,

151
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: ball handling or throwing and catching, exchanging, defensively, tackling, punching

152
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: balls out, things like that that that relate to ball

153
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: security or takeaways. And that's it's important in every game,

154
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: and it's critically important in the playoffs for sure, and

155
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: I'm sure they'll be locked in for it and we'll

156
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: be locked in for it too. And which every team

157
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: does a better job with that, it's going to have

158
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: a better chance to win the game.

159
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: What's the meaning behind the T shirt?

160
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: They're good good good if you look it up. Jocko

161
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: Willink I think is the author of it. But the

162
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: idea basically is, you have a tough situation, good, you know,

163
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: opportunity to become tougher. You know, you have a disappointment

164
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: or set back, good, opportunity to get better, prove yourself.

165
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: You know, every situation you face is an opportunity. And

166
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 2: you know, if you can say good, that's good because

167
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: you're still breathing. You may still be bleeding, but you're

168
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: still bleeding and that's good. So that's kind of what

169
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: we've had that along with one and oh, have been

170
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: two things that we've been focusing on throughout.

171
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: John.

172
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: Do you guys have any players or staff affected by

173
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: the buyers over in LA I'm not sure. You know,

174
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: my brother and his family are about ten miles south

175
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: of it right now, so I know our family does.

176
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: We have a lot of friends over there obviously with

177
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: the chargers. So hopefully that thing gets contained. Hopefully they

178
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: find some water to contain it. With what I read

179
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: they didn't have water, what a for shure. So our

180
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: prayers will be with them for sure, and if they

181
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: get that contained, a lot of people have lost a

182
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: lot unfortunately. But thanks for bringing that up. All good,

183
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: All right, thanks.

184
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: As Hardball mentioned, wide receiver Zay Flowers is out for

185
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: this game, which means that there's gonna be more on

186
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,000

00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: A lot of work is going in to getting us

192
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: to this joint. You definitely hate Isay's not gonna figure

193
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: out that with us, but I trust that I've got

194
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: to make the job doing it.

195
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: That's all good. A fortune.

196
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,080

00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 5: Uh?

199
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: Just be myself. Don't go out there and do anything

200
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: that I haven't done, or try to be anything that's strict.

201
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: Just be myself and make place. Obviously you hate to

202
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 3: see the t not be out there.

203
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 5: Uh, to sure meet your job talk, but is there

204
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 5: part of you that relss an opportunity to be you.

205
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 3: Know, more targets mot walls and pack that sort of stuff.

206
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: The situation that we have on our hands doesn't It

207
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: doesn't change anything about me and my role and what

208
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: I gotta do.

209
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 3: My job is squaw to make players. Nobody know who's

210
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: on the field.

211
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: So it might look a little different as far as

212
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: where I'm at and different things, but overall.

213
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: We got a football games and playing I gotta go,

214
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 3: you know, playball.

215
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: We also heard from running back Justice Hill, who's expected

216
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: to be back in the lineup after missing the last

217
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: two games.

218
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 6: I'm I think we are capable of making plays, and

219
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 6: so I think anybody that goes out there more than

220
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 6: confident first in themselves, and the coaches are confident in

221
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 6: them making the plays too. So obviously as the big

222
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 6: losses a special player and hopefully it heals up really

223
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 6: soon that we can get him back here before end

224
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 6: of a run. But cool, yeah, man, we all step

225
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 6: up and make place.

226
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: This is just how you're you to get back on

227
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: the field.

228
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm ready to play.

229
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: Man.

230
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 6: It's a playoff game at Pittsburgh, so uh, I'm I'm excited.

231
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 4: What what do you we do you like?

232
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: What do you take past playoff experiences and how does

233
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: that have help.

234
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 3: This team moving forward.

235
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 6: Uh, I think for me, it's just another game. Just

236
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 6: go out there just like it's a practice and training camp,

237
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 6: and uh just just be be in a moment for real.

238
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 6: Just make plays and do what you always do them

239
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 6: then make make the moment bigger than what it really is.

240
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 6: And so uh, I think that's the thing for all

241
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 6: of us, Uh, especially now that we've been uh to

242
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 6: playoff games and uh we've seen both sides of it. Uh,

243
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 6: I think we just going there levelhead and just go

244
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 6: and go play.

245
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 5: Oh what do you think it's gonna be?

246
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: Saturday nights to the stadium.

247
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 6: But hopefully Uh no, the weather don't scare to me

248
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 6: people all, but I think it's gonna be regardless.

249
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: Man.

250
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 6: You know Baltimore fans, especially with this game being who

251
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 6: it is against, uh, they gonna be out showing out.

252
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 5: So when you haven't played for for that long, is

253
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 5: there anything you do different to your extra to kind

254
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 5: of get back into that into that.

255
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 6: Mode of like when you were playing with I mean

256
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 6: I mean that long. It was only a week and

257
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,599
Speaker 6: so I mean we played two games, but it was

258
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 6: short weeks and all that stuff. But uh, I mean

259
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 6: it's football. I mean it's like riding the bike. I

260
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 6: mean you can go all year it out playing and

261
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 6: you can come back and know what to do. So

262
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 6: I don't think being out is gonna affect me much

263
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 6: at all. I'm just ready to get back out there

264
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 6: and play.

265
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: We also heard from linebacker A Dafe away.

266
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: Just to play hard, compete, and you know it just

267
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 3: one one of four, you know, just to get to

268
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: the big one.

269
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: So let me see right now, when you watch Pittsburgh's offense,

270
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 4: obviously not a lot of points but on score, but

271
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 4: I'm sure you'll find things that still makes them dangerous.

272
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 3: What do I see? Yeah, I mean any offense, the

273
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: NFL offense, so they can make anything happen. But you know,

274
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: they try to make a lot of big chunk plays

275
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 3: where we just kind of stop those. I like our

276
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 3: defensive line against you know what they do. So just

277
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 3: gonna go out there and compete.

278
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 4: Coming on with your first double digit sack season, where's

279
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 4: your confidence level going into this playoff?

280
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: Very confident if I try to take that into every game,

281
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: just trying to make a play out there. Feel like

282
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: you make your name out in the playoff games and

283
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 3: and what what better game to make it against the Steelers,

284
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: you know, so yeah, very excited.

285
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: Your Zio talked about being air for can't you see

286
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: both quarterbacks, you know, and justin field to play Repster.

287
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 4: How does it affect things?

288
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 3: They sprintle it and both quarterbacks, it's a little bit.

289
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 5: Uh.

290
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 3: I feel like both of them, they're kind of the

291
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: same but a little different.

292
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 5: You know.

293
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 3: Uh, Justice is gonna run a little bit more, so

294
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 3: we gotta, you know, we gotta be more disciplined in

295
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: how we play. Let's play action run uh run type downs.

296
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 5: Uh.

297
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: You know, Russ sees more of the vets, so he's

298
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 3: gonna take more of the chances. I feel like, so

299
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 3: we gotta play those on this too. But I feel

300
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: like both of them can get after so it's gonna

301
00:12:59,600 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: be the same.
