Speaker 3: to see the tradition, walking through, seeing the trophies, you know,
Speaker 3: talking to coach Tomlin, talking to the coaches and the trainers,
Speaker 3: and you know, just kind of being able to see
Speaker 3: what the NFL facility looks like.
Speaker 4: It was amazing.
Speaker 2: And what did it mean when you got the phone
Speaker 2: call and you you were going to be able to
Speaker 2: come here?
Speaker 4: It was great. You know, I knew the position that
Speaker 4: I was going to be in.
Speaker 3: I knew that I would have a great chance to
Speaker 3: make the team and things like that. And you know,
Speaker 3: to be a part of a great organization planning for
Speaker 3: a defense, you know that well organization that is known
Speaker 3: for great defense and defensive players. Have a lot of
Speaker 3: players in you know, the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4: And things like that.
Speaker 2: Are you still little nad You didn't get dropped though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, because I you know, I think about
Speaker 3: it as the long term stuff.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: It's always it's always great being an underdog because you know,
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't have high expectations for me.
Speaker 4: I'm an undrafted guy.
Speaker 2: What do you think you proved to the coaches and
Speaker 2: your teammates this season.
Speaker 3: I'm a competitor and I'm a ball hall, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. I go out there and make a
Speaker 3: lot of plays when the ball is in the air
Speaker 3: and things like that, and tackle whenever my opportunity is called.
Speaker 1: There's your interception, it is picked off, and it is
Speaker 1: picked off by Beatie Bishop.
Speaker 2: I know during the season you talked about, and so
Speaker 2: did coach Tomlin, those extra film study meetings with him.
Speaker 2: Take me inside what one of those was like and
Speaker 2: how influential it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was like every Friday thing, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: after we get done with the team meetings, you know,
Speaker 3: I would, I would go in there and it'll kind
Speaker 3: of be, you know, very brief.
Speaker 4: Some days.
Speaker 3: Sometimes he'll have a paper, you know, written out with
Speaker 3: like it to say Beanie's meeting on top and to
Speaker 3: have like all the little notes and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: It means a lot.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: Obviously he's a Hall of Fame coach.
Speaker 3: He knows, he knows, you know, how to get guys
Speaker 3: in the right position, give him the right information, you know,
Speaker 3: for guys to be able to make plays. And and
Speaker 3: I think he really got to got to see that
Speaker 3: coming full circle, you know, with with the meetings that
Speaker 3: we had and and me being able to produce on
Speaker 3: the field.
Speaker 2: Hey, Beanie Bean, you and Nickel and Nickel Calvin Austin
Speaker 2: the third. I know you guys formed a relationship starting
Speaker 2: in training camp. How did that develop throughout the season
Speaker 2: and how would you describe it to somebody who might
Speaker 2: not know either of you.
Speaker 4: You know, short Kings, short of guys on the team.
Speaker 3: You know, I call him, I call him roach, you know,
Speaker 3: because he's so small, and you know, Coach Danny always
Speaker 3: say get the bug on the rug, so, you know,
Speaker 3: really underestimated first size and things like that. Me too,
Speaker 3: So you know, we kind of bonded over that. And
Speaker 3: obviously when we go against and compete against each other,
Speaker 3: you know, we want to get each other better, so
Speaker 3: we want to be able to have the edge on the opponent.
Speaker 2: Your four interceptions tied for the second most by a
Speaker 2: rookie the season. Which one is your favorite? Is it
Speaker 2: the first because it happened or does another one mean
Speaker 2: more to you?
Speaker 3: I like, I really like the Giants one, okay, just
Speaker 3: because I told Alex Asmans that I was gonna end
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 1: It is thrown and it is picked off by beat Bishop
Speaker 1: should finish this game for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3: And just being able to finish a game on a
Speaker 3: Monday night, you know where the whole the whole world's watching.
Speaker 3: Especially to be able to do it in two consecutive games,
Speaker 3: you know, it's major.
Speaker 4: So I would say that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's special about this rookie class. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of offensive linemen. But what do you think, you know
Speaker 2: everyone can expect in terms of year two with you guys.
Speaker 4: Man, we made a lot of plays. You know, the
Speaker 4: focus was there.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't been able to tell that a lot of
Speaker 3: us were rookies with the maturity level that guys have.
Speaker 3: You know, Zach Frazier coming in starting, Mason McCormick coming
Speaker 3: in playing me and Peyton on the defensive side of
Speaker 3: the ball.
Speaker 4: You know, obviously the rookie class.
Speaker 3: We had a lot of injuries and things like that,
Speaker 3: but whenever those guys come back, I feel that they're
Speaker 3: going to have a great impact on the team, like
Speaker 3: the rest of us.
