1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Oh well that was a that was a good team

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: win for US. UM, you know, really proud of what

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: the guys competed here. This is a great uh you know,

4
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: football city football environment. A lot of energy in the

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: stadium today, and I thought our guys responded to it well. Um,

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, good plays in all three areas of the game. Um.

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: You know, Pittsburgh's tough like they always are, and uh,

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, battled back and forth with them. But um,

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: I thought that our play there in the fourth quarter

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: was you know, became with some big plays, two big

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: three and out stops and then you know held the

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: ball for the last whatever it was six minutes of

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: the game and you know we're got up to run

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: it out and kneel on it. So, um, some good,

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: good football when we when we need it the most. Um.

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of guys contributed. I mean kids

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: could sit here and round them all off. But obviously offense, defense,

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: special teams, we had. We had good contributions in all

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: three areas. And you know it's a good, good, complimentary football.

20
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: Hold up the coach apion, especially the offensive line opening

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: up holes. How important is that? Yeah, it was great

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: to be able to hang on the ball at the

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: end there. Um, and our backs ran hard and and

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: our line gave him some says to run. You know,

25
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: we're able to control. I don't know it was like

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: three first downs or something like that, whatever it was,

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: but I don't think it was a little over six

28
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: minutes when we got the ball back. So yeah, that's

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: the way he always want to end up deeeling the ball. That's,

30
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: let's the best way to win. So they did a

31
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: great job. Coach be talking about them. You know, the

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Steelers said voting the last weekday of linked date, when

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: he drops down and build, they wanted to open it

34
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: up after we're throwing the lessons in boards last week.

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: They weren't able to do that. What do you think

36
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: your defensive that would be so well against their offense

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: to kind of still force them into those checkdown pasters. Well,

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: they made some yards on that. Um, you know, Mitch

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: did a good job of taking Naji on some of

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: those checkdowns, and you know they had some some gains there.

41
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: He read the defense well we were back there and

42
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: and he dropped it off. So um, yeah, if they

43
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: asked them, you know exactly what what they were reading,

44
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. But you know, I thought

45
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: they took their checkdowns and certainly hit us on the

46
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: perimeter with you know, Johnson and fire with a touchdown

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: on you and the checkdowns the Harris probably were a

48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: little more productive for him than the than the running

49
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: game was. Um, but you know he's good back, he's

50
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: tough matchup and all those guys are tough play Mac

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: Nelson head, Yeah, Nellie want to did a great job

52
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: of going there and and taking the ball. Um. You know,

53
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 1: it's good, good job by you know, Mac, and given

54
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: the receiver a chance to to go get it and

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: and Nellie Nellie came down with it. So yeah, it

56
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: was a huge play for us. We had a chance

57
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: for it, you know, swing there at the half, but

58
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: you know we're n't able to get the field goal

59
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: the third quarter. But it's the right idea was you know,

60
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: just got to do a little better job. They're finishing

61
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: the drive started a third quarter. Imagine seeing big improver

62
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: from Nelson Lark during the summer. Did you see those

63
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: improvements play out here today into his game last year?

64
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: He's been good all year. Yeah, I mean, I don't

65
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: think you want to judge guys on one play or

66
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: one game. We got a lot of snaps and he's

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: been really one of our most consistent players this year

68
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: covering that that will route on the third down to

69
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: get you guys the ball back and running up. Yeah,

70
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: that was a big play. And then the third down

71
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: stop before that where they threw it to Harris out

72
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: in the flat on the blitz and U and tackled Harris.

73
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: You know, Harris one of the best best backs in

74
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: the league. I think he led a league last year

75
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: in broken tackles and um, he's a tough guy to

76
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: get on the ground. So it was a big point

77
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: as this for us. I thought our defensive players, you know,

78
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: for the most part, did a good job of tackling

79
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: him and wrapping him up and you know, getting multiple

80
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: players around the wall. But he's he's definitely a tough

81
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: guy to tackle. So that was a big stop for us.

82
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: Then one of the top top receivers in the game

83
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: as a running back. So, um, that was a great

84
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: play by shoot on big play for mac Wilson on

85
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: an interception that we're kind of partners that we've seen

86
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: from you know, of course the off season to this one.

87
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: Mac Wilson, Oh, I'm sorry. Oh yeah, yeah that Mills intercepted. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,

88
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: it was Yeah. It was a play action pass, kind

89
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: of pop pass out of the middle. Yeah, made a

90
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: great reaction to it. Um, you know that's the play

91
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: that Um, it's becoming a pretty popular play in the league.

92
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: We run it, so I know they've seen it in practice.

93
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: Miami ran it Pittsburgh and I was you know, he's

94
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: really a you know, an outstanding athlete was able to

95
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how many people would have

96
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: made that play, but you know, just his athletics, athleticism

97
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: and ability to, like you said, get his hands on

98
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: it and tipping the mills. So it was a big Um,

99
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: that's a big play for us, role for Kendrick today.

100
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: How do you feel like? Uh? And we'll watch so film.

101
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: I think everybody responded well. I thought our players played hard.

102
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: I thought they were they played tough. It wasn't perfect,

103
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: but we competed well and and um, you know, did

104
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: enough good things in all three areas to win. So

105
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: hopefully we can build on that and try to try

106
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: to keep improving next week at more waiting today football talent,

107
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: housing the deal or what can you sense from the team,

108
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,559
Speaker 1: a game from the team after their first win, especially

109
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: one hostile environment. Work, oh things just you know, good

110
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: to reinforce the things that we're doing. That that, um,

111
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: the way we prepared, the way we played, UM, was

112
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: good enough to come in here and win and against

113
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: a good football team team had a big win last

114
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: week coming in for their home opener and so um,

115
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, Steelers are talk Coach Tomlin. This organization, you know,

116
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: consistently puts out high quality football teams. And it was

117
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: good to come in here and get a win. It's

118
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: not easy, so we'll take it all right, Yeah, thank you,
