Speaker 1: Third and twelve, empty set for Browning.
Speaker 2: Now they get to him and then he comes forward,
Speaker 2: he's hit and he's sacked by the captain Captain Camp.
Speaker 2: Captain Camp, with a little help from DJ Watt and
Speaker 2: Alex high Smith, Captain Cam's first sack of the year,
Speaker 2: very alone Camp.
Speaker 3: The Cardinals game will be the first game into December.
Speaker 3: What does December football mean?
Speaker 1: When you hear that, that's where you punch your ticket
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. You know, usually we're in the mix
Speaker 1: for all of it, and so you know, you eat
Speaker 1: a game ground or you lose ground. So we know
Speaker 1: we have some important games coming up, but we got
Speaker 1: to take advantage of this opportunity.
Speaker 4: Under coach Tomlin.
Speaker 3: At home, the Steelers are twenty nine and eleven. It's
Speaker 3: tied for the best record in the league. Why do
Speaker 3: you think that record's so good?
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's just guys buying in at
Speaker 1: the right time. There's a multitude things that go on
Speaker 1: throughout the season, but I think everybody's locked in for
Speaker 1: a December run. And you look at it and say
Speaker 1: twenty and eleven, there's eleven losses on there, But know,
Speaker 1: you got to spread that out through Mike T's career.
Speaker 1: That's it's pretty big. You know, he's been here longer
Speaker 1: than me, so you know that's less than one a
Speaker 1: year if you counted his book.
Speaker 4: You how to throw that into you because he always
Speaker 4: gets after you.
Speaker 1: He's got great here too.
Speaker 3: What does it mean to you that next man up
Speaker 3: for the defense has really become next men up? Especially
Speaker 3: recently with just all the injuries, not just including yours,
Speaker 3: but the inside guys on the secondary.
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's a testament to you know,
Speaker 1: the coaches getting players ready and the players taking advantage
Speaker 1: of those opportunities. You never want to pray for somebody's injury,
Speaker 1: but you want to be ready for somebody's injury. And
Speaker 1: guys like Trenton Thompson, Michael Walker, Landa Roberts, he's been here.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know he's not a young guy, but
Speaker 1: he plays like a young guy and his vocal and
Speaker 1: his responsibilities JJ Joey Porter Jr. Stepping up. You know,
Speaker 1: when you have injuries throughout the season, you rely on
Speaker 1: your young guys, you know, proving that they go on.
Speaker 3: What about Keanu Benten, a guy on on your line
Speaker 3: shut bechet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't give that get enough credit.
Speaker 4: Purposely, yeah, purposely going to tea there.
Speaker 1: You know, I think, uh, you know, in the d
Speaker 1: line play, we all joke around, have a good time,
Speaker 1: but uh, he's come on big for us, you know,
Speaker 1: losing Montrevius myself, we needed guys to step in, and
Speaker 1: didn't matter what age you were, but we needed guys
Speaker 1: to step up. And I thought he did an amazing
Speaker 1: job and he's continued to keep doing it. He plays
Speaker 1: with good leverage, good hands, gets off blocks, gets after
Speaker 1: the quarterback too. And I love the way he runs
Speaker 1: after the ball. That's one thing. I was tied here
Speaker 1: when I first got here, and you know, he's emulating
Speaker 1: that every single time.
Speaker 4: That good good. I know me because going crazy being
Speaker 4: on the sidelines.
Speaker 3: What was it like for you, dealing with the injury
Speaker 3: and not being able to be out there with your guys.
Speaker 1: It kills you know, you You missed those moments when
Speaker 1: you're on the field. You miss those opportunities running out
Speaker 1: of tunnel. You know, I joke with Maca every week
Speaker 1: because he goes back and forth before we start our
Speaker 1: warm ups and he has to run. And at first
Speaker 1: it was very gimpy about me. You know, almost looked
Speaker 1: like a skip, but it's getting more and more in
Speaker 1: the forum. But during that time you always just try
Speaker 1: to just stay in the moment and stay with the group.
Speaker 1: And for me, it was about being on the headset,
Speaker 1: hearing what I heard, you know, having conversations, and I
Speaker 1: think Mica has done a great job. He's kept guys
Speaker 1: alert and ready. And you look at Trenton Thompson. I
Speaker 1: think Trenton's doing the work, but I think make is
Speaker 1: having a say helping him.
Speaker 3: Since you have been back, the Steelers have allowed just
Speaker 3: eighty five and a half rushing yards per game, significantly
Speaker 3: better than when you were not in the line.
Speaker 4: Numbers don't lie you.
Speaker 3: What does that say about your play?
Speaker 1: I just want to be part of the mix. It
Speaker 1: was bugging me not to be out there, and I
Speaker 1: know my guys were fighting for every yard, you know,
Speaker 1: So when I got back, I just said I got
Speaker 1: to make sure I helped the team.
Speaker 4: Even though TJ said you stole a sack from him.
Speaker 1: Of course I stole a sack from TJ. Got to
Speaker 1: watch that guy.
Speaker 3: But my point being, with one more you will tie
Speaker 3: Deebo for the second most.
Speaker 4: Does that mean anything to you.
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, I've always had a lot of respect
Speaker 1: for James Harrison. You know, there's guys on the list
Speaker 1: that you're like, wow, like I can't believe them even
Speaker 1: in the same contest as those guys, and so being
Speaker 1: honored to pass them and be honored to tie. But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I'm just I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get up there.
Speaker 3: What's the biggest key for this team to continue having
Speaker 3: their arrow pointed up?
Speaker 1: I think one stop in the run, get more turnovers,
Speaker 1: and play compliment football, you know. I think offensive wise,
Speaker 1: we're finding a stride there. You know, you look at
Speaker 1: week I thought we did a great job of just
Speaker 1: moving the ball and having consistency there, you know, but
Speaker 1: defense getting off the field, uh, defense providing turnovers, offense
Speaker 1: holding on to the ball, and special teams making big
Speaker 1: splash plays. You can never have enough of those making
Speaker 1: change the outcome a game. So, you know, all of that,
Speaker 1: I think if we have compromary football, we'll
Speaker 4: Move in the right direction, all right, Thanks Cam, Thanks Melissa,
