1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: Just conk it's a snap back looking throws over the

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: middle into and out of the hands and now picked off.

3
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: And this is Joe Hayden on the reflection. Hayden is

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: gonna be on his feet still crossing the twenty and

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: wrestled down at the ten yard line. Joe Hayden comes

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: up with a big turnover for the Steelers. All right, Joe,

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: I want to actually go back to the Pro Bowl

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: in Orlando. I feel like that was forever ago. But

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: I remember Cam Hayward saying that he you t J.

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Watt makeup. Fitzpatrick kind of took some time to have

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: a little defensive meeting. Uh. Is there anything you can

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: remember or share from from that time together at the

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl that you're kind of seeing come to fruition

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: here in two thousand and twenty. Um, just that, uh,

15
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: we have a really really good team. UM, and we

16
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: don't know, just you never know how many years you're

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: gonna be able to have certain players together with offense

18
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: and defense, and just um just having a veteran team

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: and just uh just knowing that this year is gonna

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: be a really really big year against seven back, having

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: another year of the whole defense together with Minka deep

22
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: Bush being a year older. UM, why but everybody just

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: coming into their home. Um, it's just really really important

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: that we come out come after this year, UM locked

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: in and you know, just putting all our trips to

26
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: the table, just knowing that, UM, this is a a

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: very very good experience and a team that we can

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl with, so we gotta take complete

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: advantage of it. I think it's safe to say you're

30
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: a veteran. I'm not calling you old, but you've been

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: around the game of football in the NFL for quite

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: some times. Is there something you can put your finger

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: on to why this group is special or has that

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: potential to be special. I think it's just, Um, I've

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: been in the lead for a while, but it's just

36
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: the overall unit. It's from the top down, you mean,

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: from the owners to the coaching staff to the players

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: that we have veteran players and a mixture of just

39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: younger guys. Um, it's just a very very talented team

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: from top to bottom. And uh, it doesn't quite happen

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: all the time like that where you have just skilled players. UM, Lineman,

42
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: your your bigs are really really talented. Your quarterback is

43
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. Um, you just have a lot

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: of a lot of potential. I mean I think that

45
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: just everybody. As long as we're just locked in, I

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: think that it could happen. Yeah. Now, you got your

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: first interception of two thousand and twenty last week against

48
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos. This training camp, you said the goal was eight.

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: Is that still the goal? That's still to goal? That

50
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: still to go. I started off, I think this is

51
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: the earliest I've had an interception in the season, So

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: I think I started off on the right foot. Can

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: you take me through it? Oh? Man? Um, it was actually,

54
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really get too many tipped picks,

55
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: so actually the ball would thrown Minca made a great

56
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: break and it fell off a sudden hands. So then

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: it was just you know, a tip that I was

58
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: able to just be in the right position. So I'm

59
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: happy about nothing better than the tip. Just let him

60
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: into you for me what Unfortunately there were no fans

61
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: in the stands at Hinesfield. For your wife usually gets

62
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: that ball. So did you take it home to her?

63
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: You know, I took it back home to her. She

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: was the first thing she was looking for. When I

65
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: got back to the House wasn't worried about how how

66
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: are you feeling? She was like, where's the ball now?

67
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. The Houston Texans are coming to Hinesfield this week.

68
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: I know they're owing to but they have played the

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Ravens. What kind of test is this

70
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna be for this defense? Going against the mobile quarterback

71
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: like Watson, It's gonna be a very big test force. Um,

72
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: Watson's you know, like we said, he's a coach these day.

73
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: He's a forty million dollar quarterback for a reason. Um,

74
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: He's able to scramble, make plays, um extent plays. He

75
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: can make all the throws also, so we just got

76
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: to do a really good job containing them. Um, just

77
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: trying to make sure that he can't escape the pocket

78
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: because that's where he does his most damage. You mentioned

79
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Devin Bush a little bit earlier. I know everyone's talking

80
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: about the blitzing and just the pressure on the quarterback

81
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: so far through two weeks, but he isn't his second year.

82
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: They talk about that second year jump, and he's also

83
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: been wearing the green dots. So what have you seen

84
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: in terms of his game and him stepping it up

85
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: a notch for a second year I mean being a

86
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: green dot guy. I mean, that's that's that's your say

87
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: it all for you. He's to dude that's making all

88
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: the checks, all the calls. He's getting a call from

89
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: coach Um to give to the defense. So you know,

90
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: he's not only having to worry about what he's doing,

91
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: he has to literally tell everybody else what their job is.

92
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: So just being a second year linebacker UM in this

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: defense with grown men that basically know what that do.

94
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: You got Cam, you got bug, You got guys like

95
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: me and Steve that are looking at uh, looking at

96
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: the bush for the call, you know. So I think

97
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: that he's made a really really good step and he's

98
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: been doing a great job of it. Lastly, I wanted

99
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: to ask you about Chase Claypool. You kind of put

100
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: him on blast in a good way during training camp.

101
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: You said to watch out for him. We saw especially

102
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: that week to the eight four yard touchdown. Are you

103
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: surprised that a rookie who has not had a normal

104
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: off season, who was just kind of thrown into the mix,

105
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: is able to do that? Um with with Chase, Honestly,

106
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: I've been saying that since we got back to training camp.

107
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't really talk too much, but he's

108
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: a big, strong guy. We've seen him making plays on

109
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: special teams, um, running down on kickoff, making tackles. The

110
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: catchy hair versus New York was nice. And then just

111
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: I think just the more opportunities he gets. You can't

112
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: teach his size and his speed, UM, so it's just

113
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: the more opportunities he gets. I think he's going to

114
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: just continue to be get better. And does he lean

115
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: on you ask me any pointers things like that too,

116
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm not not really he hasn't. I mean, like I said,

117
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't really say too much. He just comes out

118
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: there and does work. So you just keep it up.

119
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: You must be talking to Ben or Juju with somebody.

120
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: But he's he's got good information, all right. Thanks Joe,

121
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: appreciate your time. Thank you m hm
