So if it's the right fit, then 33 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: you know, works nothing out and if it's not, then 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: we won't.

Had 37 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: a good visit with him, so we'll see where that goes. 38 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: Why do you guys have Russell Wilson in for a 39 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: visit to the offseason? Yeah, we're we're on that beyond that. 40 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: But I will say this with with Russell, it's good 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: football player. He's been a good football player for a 42 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 1: long time. Did a heck of a job coming back 43 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: last week against the Jets. Created explosive plays of pickens. 44 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: You know, he's one of the most you know, the 45 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: last since twenty eighteen, one of the higher explosive play 46 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: quarterbacks twenty plus plays, won a Super Bowl, was in 47 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: another Super Bowl. Got a lot of respect for him 48 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: as a person as a player, playing the games in 49 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh for a number of years now to be the 50 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: eighteenth one, yeah, no, I looked at it the other day. 51 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 3: You know, what's your record age? 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't matter, just yeah, what is it about 53 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: that place that he is well or any difficult We 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: just start with the organization. It's a model of consistency. 55 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: Coach Tomlin as an exceptional coach before that, Coach Kawer 56 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: obviously coach, and no Olbecks nineteen sixty nine. It seems 57 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: like every meeting that I've had with head coaches you 58 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: know that have been part of the staff, it's almost 59 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: the same meeting. Different faces, but the same meeting relative 60 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: to the toughness that that team plays with, the grit 61 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: that they play with. You know, how they control the 62 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage on both sides, run the football, use 63 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: the action game defensively, it's you know, just plug and play. 64 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: You know you've seen with these players, it's just the 65 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: next guy up you've got you know, j T and 66 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: Heyward are unbelievable football players, but there's a style in 67 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: which they play with that is physical and aggressive. Got 68 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: a lot of respect for you know how They've done 69 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: things for a long time, you know, ever since I've 70 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: been in the league. Just getting ready to play them them, 71 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: you know, well coached, play, tough, play physical, have a 72 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: style that they play with. And then the atmosphere h 73 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: is is one of the best when you go there 74 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: and play at their at their stadium, tough place to 75 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: play and a very tough opponent. 76 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 4: It's a weird transition with regard to stability. But last 77 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 4: night we were. 78 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 3: With with John Marra at the screening. 79 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 4: And obviously he came out and was supportive of you 80 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 4: and Joe with the saying he believes in what you 81 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 4: guys are doing and he wants the ability here. How 82 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 4: important is that to you, to you guys, to not 83 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 4: to have to worry about that, not that you don't 84 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 4: worry about it. 85 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, well no, I think you focus on what you 86 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: can control. And I've said this, you know, numerous times. 87 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: There's we have a very good communication process, a good relationship. Again, 88 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: nobody's happy about the results or the record, but the 89 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: communication and the process and the people. I believe in 90 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: games when you you set out to build something, you 91 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: and Joe got here. 92 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 4: Yea, what you said about the Steelers and what they have, 93 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 4: is that essentially that. 94 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 2: Something that everyone chases in this league. 95 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty unique. I would say it's pretty unique though. 96 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: The culture that they've had for a long time. Obviously, 97 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: that's what you love to have, and that's why you 98 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: have such a great appreciation when you get ready to 99 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: play this team. This coach who's been here for since 100 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: his eighteenth year. The consistency of how they do things 101 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: is very impressive. You know, I haven't been in that room, 102 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: so I can't speak on it from the outside looking in. 103 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: It's very impressive how they do things. So but the 104 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: most important thing is, you know, you go to their 105 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: place or you know, it's a very tough place to play, 106 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: and the players, the scheme, the style, and that's why 107 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: they've been successful. 108 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 2: What did you think about Bill Belichick's criticisms of your team? 109 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: Fill me in, Fill me in. 110 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 2: Bill on Tuesday was very critical of your guys approach 111 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 2: with Saquon on Monday, I think was after you spoke. 112 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 2: He was critical of you guys approaching the line, putting 113 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 2: Josha left tackle. 114 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: I would say that my focus is on our team 115 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: and we do everything we can do to be as 116 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: good as we can be. And look, there's there's things 117 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: we got to do better, but I can't focus on 118 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: you know, the outside. Fran have you Obviously, Daniel's a 119 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: prideful guy. 120 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 3: Wasn't happy for the way everything went down the other day, 121 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: you know, not playing well coming out of a game. 122 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: He said. 123 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 3: It was a quick conversation because if you had an 124 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 3: extended conversation with him about that and about how it 125 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 3: is moving forward. 126 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I talked to all the players, so 127 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: again those are private conversations. But I'm not going to 128 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: relive last week eleven minutes left down twenty eight to three. 129 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: We're gonna get ready to go play Pittsburgh and have 130 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,119 Speaker 1: a good week of practice talking more about moving forward 131 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: or not last week? 132 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 3: Is it important for you to provide him reassured and said, hey, 133 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 3: we're not just going to pull you if you. 134 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: You know, if you struggle for a quarter or two 135 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: or for you know, no, I understand, I understand. Yeah, 136 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: I would Yeah, I would say the most important thing 137 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: is having a good week of practice and playing well, 138 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: and that's where our focus is. 139 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 4: His numbers, the team's numbers with him, his especially are 140 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 4: incredibly start. 141 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 3: To home and away. 142 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: Is there any theory you have behind that? 143 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: No, we just all got to do a better job. 144 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: You don't feel the need to give him reassurance and 145 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: he's your starter. 146 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 147 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: I would say we've had conversations.

We'll 176 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: see where that goes, and then we'll see where these 177 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: guys are at relative to Thursday or Friday and Saturday. 178 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: Is an option on the outside or is he pretty 179 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: much inside? No, I'd say we'll take a look at 180 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: some things here today based on who's down for practice, 181 00:08:54,160 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: and again we'll we'll evaluate that as we go. Injury, 182 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to say week to week. I mean, 183 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: I don't we'll see where he is tomorrow. It's probably 184 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if he'd be able to make it 185 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: this week. But I'm not going to rule hi out 186 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: because he'n't been ruled out. 187 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 3: To me how big it challenges t J. Watt. You've 188 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 3: mentioned before, yeah, last week about the possibility of Jermaine 189 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 3: going to the left side. Does that become less slightly 190 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 3: because he does play over the right side? Majority? 191 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean we could stay here for a long 192 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: time talking about j. T. Watt. I'd say he's unbelievable. TJ. 193 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: Kemel flusher with the guy he watches tape and all 194 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: the turnovers that he has in the style that he 195 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: plays with. I mean, he's an impressive He's one of 196 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: the best players in the league. He creates issues in 197 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: the run game, he creates issues in the past game. 198 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: He bats balls down, he jumps up and intercepts balls 199 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: that you never think he could be intercepted. He's got hustle, chase, 200 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: he's he's a dynamic football. He's one of the better 201 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: defensive players in the league. He's a problem Highsmith's problem 202 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: on the other side, Hayward inside. When you when you 203 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: add all those pieces together, that's why they are where 204 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: they're at defensively. And you can't say enough good things 205 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: about him when you watch him on tape. He'sa's an 206 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: impressive and he's been that way since he's played as 207 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: his Hayward. It's you know, they're they're a dynamic front. 208 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: Carl Dunbar does a great job with them over at 209 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh defensive line, and uh, they're hard to block. 210 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: They're hard to block. You put a third tape, third 211 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: down tape on and you better be able to throw 212 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: with rhythm and timing because they're there pretty quick
