1 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: Of that one. Thence Williams faded him totally. It got 2 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: to the quarterback. That's a loss of three on the 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: plate pick the hand off. Bodies were flying, Big Williams 4 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: among those there for Pittsburgh. All right, Vince, give me 5 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: some adjectives to describe the two thousand and twenty Steelers 6 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 1: defense focus. I think that would be number one. I 7 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: think that we are very mature group. I think we 8 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: have some excellent leaders and that just kind of carries 9 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: over into the maturity and uh, just ferocious. I think 10 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: that this group it's just so hungry because we understand that. 11 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: You know, last year we had a very good group, 12 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: but you know, we lost big Band. So now that 13 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: we got them back, we understand we're cap blood and 14 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: we just want to attack. You guys like being the 15 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: group you're leading in so many different categories and it 16 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: feels like everybody compares you to other people, to other units. 17 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: Does that make sense, Yes, it makes it, But I 18 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: can't even I know this is like a lot of 19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: people feel like this is coach talk with just player talk. 20 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: We don't pay attention to statistics at all. Like to us, 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: we just want to win the game, you know, because 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: We just understand that you could play as well as 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: you want to play. You could be an amazing defense, 24 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: You could do all the things that have all the 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: statistical categories a lot. But if you don't win the 26 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: game and you're not in the playoffs at the end 27 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: of the year and you don't have a chance to 28 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: live at Lombardi, none of that matters. What you guys 29 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: were able to do in Tennessee on the road, you 30 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: knew what Derrick Henry brought, what his game was, and 31 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: what that offense like to do. What did that tell 32 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: you about the defense? When you guys were able to 33 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: close it out and get the win, it tells me 34 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: we need to be better. You know, we didn't do enough. Um, 35 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, they shouldn't have been able 36 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: to score anymore. I know they're a great team, but 37 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: you know we have them. We had them in a 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: u in a situation where we could actually you know, 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: choked him out and win the game, and they didn't 40 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: even have to be that close. I felt like we 41 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: let him back into the game and then had to 42 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: come and get a lucky field goal missed from outstanding kicker. 43 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: I think that we have a lot of things that 44 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: we need to work on. We have a lot of 45 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: room for improvement and we want to get to where 46 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: we want to beat and we had to tighten up. 47 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: Trying to Robert stew from your perspective U in game 48 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: and also going back and watching the film, how did 49 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: roberts Blame do filling in for Devin Bush? Rob did 50 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: a fantastic job. But it's not something that I'm surprised with. 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: You know, Rob is a professional. He loves football, He 52 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: pays attention, He's very focusing. He does a lot of 53 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: studying at his house on his own. So I knew 54 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: when his number got called, he would go out there 55 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: and he would be able to participate and have a 56 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: great game like he did. Kim Hayward told the DV 57 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: Morning Show that on the way back from Tennessee on 58 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: the team plane, you guys moved Rob to the front 59 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: of the plane. Is that true? And how often does 60 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: that happen? It really happens. But you know, we wanted 61 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: to show Robb that we understood his commitment, his dedication 62 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: to the game. You know when you have somebody that 63 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: are running back, when you have a collision with a 64 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: running back, and you know that running back has about 65 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: twenty pounds on you and wait, and the way that 66 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: Rob went in there and you know, kind of gave 67 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: itself up for his teammates and understanding the situation and 68 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: how critical it was. You know, that type of stuff's 69 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: respected around here. That type of stuff is appreciating and 70 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: we wanted to let him know. But I only just Robbed, 71 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: but all the other young guys that are itching to 72 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: get an opportunity, we want to let them know that. 73 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: You know, that's the standard around here and it's greatly appreciated. 74 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: When we moved Robbed up, nobody asks anything about it. 75 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: Everybody understood while we was putting Robbing that seat, you know, 76 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: everybody got to see it too. So I think it 77 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: was just good. I love that. UM. Another tough challenge 78 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: coming up. Coach Tollman said, the third week, you guys 79 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: are in what you feel like is the game of 80 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: the week, the reigning league MVP. How do you even 81 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: sum up with this week of preparation is like, I know, 82 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: it's just one game, but it is a big one. 83 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: It's tight. I think if I had to use the 84 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: word describe, I would say tight. I think the margin 85 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: of the era in this game or games like this 86 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: is very very low. But you can't go out there. 87 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: You can't have a lot of mistakes, you can't have 88 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: a lot of miscommunications because a guy like Lamar Jackson 89 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: will hurt you. And when he hurts you, it's going 90 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: for six year eighty or forty or something like that. 91 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: So you just got to be in your details. He 92 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: won the league MVP, but his worst game last season 93 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: was the only game you guys faced and here at 94 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: heinz Field, five sacks, three interceptions. What can you take 95 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: away from that game that you could potentially use going 96 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: into Sunday. We lost that game and now we're gonna win, 97 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: so we got to be better than we were that week. 98 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: What is What's another part of their offense is that 99 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: Mark Andrews or who is another person? Obviously we know 100 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: that Lamar is a dual threat. That is something you 101 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: guys really have two key in on this week. That's 102 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: the thing about it, man. You know, these guys have 103 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: a great deal of continuity. A lot of the people 104 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: that they have over there, they have employed it in 105 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: the same guys we've seen for the last two or 106 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: three years. So it's not so much any new additions 107 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: or things that they're there. It's not so much new 108 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: additions or things that they're doing differently, it's that they're 109 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: staying consistent and they're doing the things that they always 110 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: done extremely well. All right, Lastly, I wanted to ask 111 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: you about tackles for loss. You have been leading the 112 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: league at twelve. T J has now tied you, So 113 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: you guys are splitting that. I know you don't look 114 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: at the stats, but how much emphasis is put on 115 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: doing things like that, not the stats, but just being 116 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: physical and making sure that offenses are paying attention to you. 117 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: You know, you just want to stop the run. I 118 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: think that's where we build our team off of. I 119 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: think that's where it stops it. I mean that's where 120 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: it starts. It starts up front, and I think we 121 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: built our defense around attacking and getting people in the backfield. 122 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: And I think when you play like that, you're gonna 123 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of success. All right, offense, thanks 124 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: so much, good luck on Sunday, No problem, thank you 125 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: as well.
