1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Obviously this week one. But what have you seen out

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: of the Seiler's offense? Uh? Stella's offense A good offense. Uh,

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: fundamental team. Uh got good outside receivers um and they

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: spread the ball around, good players all around. How would

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: you describe the mood of the locker room coming off

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: a Sunday and transitioning into this good good We are

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: all in good spirits. Uh. We can't let one week

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: turn into two. Uh. You know, we got to flip

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: the page, turn the page. You watch it, you watch

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: the film, but you ball. That's the National Football League.

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: So it's nobody down. We went and we uh we

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: left it ran uh and got back to work. It

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: felt good to get some pass back on hit and

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: hit somebody and uh we went back to work today.

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: No hit Mac, No, I haven't. I haven't got to

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: hit Mac yet. So uh, you know, one day maybe

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: one day. Bill mentioned this morning about the energy being

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: that it's the Steelers home opener. They're coming off a

19
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: big win. What have you guys been talking about as

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: far as that, and like, what do you expect out

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: of the environment on Sunday? Uh? I mean, we know

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: around a third quarter or second half going into the

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: fourth they playing the Renegade. Uh I've been I was

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: in that division. I've been there. Uh, that's a very

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: intense place to play, especially a home opener. Uh, it's

26
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna be terrible tiles. They don't like you, uh Jeff,

27
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: because they love the Steelers. Uh so Uh, it's gonna

28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a actually a good environment to play in.

29
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: That was one of my favorite stadiums to play in. So, um,

30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: you know that they believe, they believe. Uh, yellow and

31
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: black up there. So Uh it's it's a great, great environment. Uh,

32
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: but probably a terrible environment to play in. Time to

33
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: look at the tape, What are your thoughts on what

34
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: you guys put on tape? That game won? Defensively we

35
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: set that again. What are your thoughts after you look

36
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: back at the game tape of what you guys put

37
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: on tape for for gods, honestly, Uh, no disrespect, But

38
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: it don't matter. Uh, you gotta you gotta move on.

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: We gotta play better. Uh. We want to. We want

40
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: to win a game, so we don't really take no

41
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: moral victories and be like, all right, we well we

42
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: did this good, we did this good. We didn't do

43
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: anything good enough to win, So we gotta step it

44
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: up and play better. Uh So as good as we played,

45
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: or as good as we think we played, we gotta

46
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: play better and uh in order for us to win games.

47
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: And that's really all it's about. Uh, every every week

48
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: go on wanting no and so we just gotta play better.

49
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Nothing going back to playing Pittsburgh, you have any favorite

50
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: memories interacting with their fans or any kind things along

51
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: those lines. Uh, it was kind of a saying you're

52
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: not you're not a raven until you win in Pittsburgh.

53
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: And so my first my first win in Pittsburgh as

54
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: a good memory. And then uh, we lost some tight

55
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: ones down there. So uh true, I'll be remembering a

56
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: lot of plays from a lot of games, and those

57
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: was like some of the most memorable ones when you

58
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: actually get the win down there. Matthew, you guys didn't

59
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: have some success getting to do last week and pressuring him.

60
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: How important is that going to be against the Steelers

61
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: to even dial that up even more against Trubisky. Honestly,

62
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: when you can rush forward and effect the passer, uh,

63
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: you have the back back in out. Uh. And so

64
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: we just got to find ways we got to create

65
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: havoc in the backfield and find ways to uh disrupt plays,

66
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: whether that's a sacks, QB hits, quarterback pressures, making them

67
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: just get rid of the ball and making them feel

68
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: uncomfortable in the pocket. And so you know, we're gonna

69
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to work and watch how they trying

70
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: to block us, and and you know, every every week

71
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be different, and every team's gonna block us

72
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: different least, so it's gonna be some endgame adjustments. And

73
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: they haven't put all this stuff on film. It's only

74
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: one week, so we're gonna have to uh adjust on

75
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: the fly on the sideline when we could series by series.

76
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: But you know, we just got to continue to rush.

77
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: And I think I think, uh the guys up up

78
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: in the middle, our big guys did a very good

79
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: job rushing and help it helps our outside guys so

80
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: we can burn the edge. How about terms of keeping

81
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: Trabisky in the pocket, is it a similar strategy to

82
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: like what you did was two m last week? Uh? Yeah,

83
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, the athletic quarterbacks like that. You just

84
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: don't want them outside and get the rolling out and

85
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: uh you know they they buy more time and scramble,

86
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: drill and for rob receivers like they have to just

87
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: get open and you know it might they might take

88
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: a five yard out and turn it up and uh

89
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: it turns into a deep play. So you got to

90
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: keep athletic quarterbacks in the pocket. It's uh obviously easier

91
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: said than done, but we got to do it. That's

92
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: our job. We haven't hit that. But if you're gonna

93
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: get Stirmandre, you don't, you hit him and let's pick

94
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: up for you like that. Nah, Nah, I haven't. That's

95
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: a more inside linebackers. It's really you can share. I

96
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: know it's on your job to look at him and

97
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: see how he's developed. He's a second year guy. Any

98
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: big difference you see from him as a runner or uh,

99
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: I think I think he's growing as a player, uh,

100
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: and his vision and his knowledge of the game. I think, Uh,

101
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: that kind of happens every year until you get to

102
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: a point where you know you start on a decline.

103
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: But I think him right now, he's he's just going

104
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: to get better every year, and I think right now

105
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: he's taking steps to become that player. Matthew. No, injuries

106
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: are a part of the game. But what have you've

107
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: seen with the mac, especially being in his second year,

108
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: just the toughness and just seeing it from the office

109
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: side of the defensives up. I love I mac h

110
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: Lee's offense and gets up after tough hits and goes

111
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: right back out there and continues to compete. And that's

112
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: what you want as as a leader, period. But definitely

113
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: actual quarterback man. Did it feel familiar to you looking

114
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: at the Steelers on tape this week? I know you

115
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: haven't played him in a couple of years, but he

116
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: played him a bunch of times in Baltimore, wondering if

117
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: he thought familiar looking at him this week. The Jerseys did,

118
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: but the players didn't. Honestly, it's been a it's been

119
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: a lot of turnover over there. I think Claypool and

120
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: uh uh DJ really was uh and uh O fool

121
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: kind of was really the only ones that's out there

122
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: and uh kind of snail. But every year it's it's

123
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of turnovers since I

124
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: last played them, and so the players, I mean, the

125
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: Jerseys and the plays kind of did, but the players,

126
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: uh not so much. Strange enough, Tim Raethelsperger, with that money,

127
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean when you have a long standard quarterback like that. Uh,

128
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: it's always strange to see, you know, a different quarterback

129
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: and how they how they move it differently, Uh, the

130
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: offense differently and and things like that. So it's it's

131
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: kind of different. You know, you you used to seeing

132
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: big being back there, but uh, you know, I gotta

133
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: I gotta prepare for who I have to face and

134
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: not worry about who they used to a phone. Enough,

135
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: from what you had said about Matt just in the

136
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: locker room, how you earn respect? You don't like to

137
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: show that toughness slink. How it's how important is that

138
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: in the locker room? So to show that to your teammates.

139
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: And from what you would talk about, I think I think, uh,

140
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: you kind of really don't earn respect. Respect is given

141
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: and tell you do something to you know, take that away.

142
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: And I don't think Mac has done anything to disrespect

143
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: anybody or up up class anybody, or showboat on anybody.

144
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: I think Matt come to work every day, Uh and

145
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: uh he just we we gave him respect and your quarterback,

146
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: he the kind of leader of our team, like I

147
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: said before, Uh, he had captain on the team. And

148
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: you know Uh, he's a tough player. He's a tough player,

149
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: and he's just gonna grind every day. And like I said,

150
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: he wants to first people in the door or in

151
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: the building and then one of the last of leaves.

152
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: It's hard to do it, but somebody has to do it,

153
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: and he does. And so we then gave him respect

154
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,640
