1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Good morning coach, Good morning, great does see you? And

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: we got shots and blueberries, regulations, victory shot, victory shot Tuesday.

3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: One more to go here. I'm always asked because there

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: are some that attempt to do them with us while

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: while listening or watching on twitch. And that is the pure,

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: pure green wake me up shot, which you introduced to

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: us like week three or four or five or whatever

8
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 1: it was.

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: And here we need something about.

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: Two shots so far?

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: So could you imagine if I had two shots?

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I heard.

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: I don't know.

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: I like getting you on because I never know how

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: accurate the reporting is. But is it accurate? Post game?

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: You chugged Miller Lite and then you mount crush Moore?

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: It is that? Is that accurate?

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: I was just walking by Morgan handed me something.

19
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 3: I trusted him and then I just put it right

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: in Will's face, just having fun, okay?

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: And was the crushed the can off the head or no?

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 3: Now you're everyone made.

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: There? You go walked on at eight o'clock and everybody

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: was there.

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Good job from a weather perspective, A ton of stuff

26
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: to talk about when it comes to that game and

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: obviously the next one. But from a weather perspective. We

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: they were saying broadcast wise that we couldn't even tell

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: how bad it was, but it got really bad.

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: The wind was the wind was a factor, and then

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: it was kind of like a wet snow, you know,

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 3: somewhere out here the field was actually it kind of

33
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: started to freeze on top. You could see Remandre uh

34
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: kind of slipped there. So the footing was was interesting.

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: And again, those are just things that you have to

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: be ready for and try to try to plan for

37
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: and adjust accordingly.

38
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 4: They're no more like because I I try to get

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 4: a look at the guys cleats, I know they had

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: the grass field and when you get the weather like that,

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: the guys are not wearing seven studs no more.

42
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 3: It's impossible to try to get these. They never use

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: them growing up. And okay, you know, I mean it's

44
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: like telling him to stay off their phones.

45
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 5: When it comes to Drake and the awareness at the

46
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 5: end of the half, for him to be aware that

47
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 5: there was one second left to go down. I know

48
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 5: it didn't result in points, but to give Andy the opportunity.

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 6: How impressive is that as a second year quarterback.

50
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: Well, those are things that we've been practicing and again,

51
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: that's kind of what we ended up doing the last

52
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: couple of weeks there at the end of the half,

53
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: and we kind of go through these scenarios and like,

54
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: if you're going to scramble or we're gonna you know,

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to know how far we can get

56
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: before we have to get down or get out of bound.

57
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: So he's done a really nice job of that, and

58
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: we're going to need some of those situations here, and

59
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: you know, thirteen days, would say twelve days.

60
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: He did say postgame that he thought you were going

61
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: to be mad on the keeper to seal the game,

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: that he he ran out of.

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: No, because again, once where the timeouts were and everything else,

64
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: there's certain times where you know you're okay getting out

65
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: of bounds if you get a first down. There's times

66
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: where we would definitely like to stay in bounds. But

67
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 3: in that situation, you know, resetting the downs with them

68
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 3: and only you know they don't have any timeouts and

69
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: we're good to go there.

70
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: They've got the one time out.

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: A lot of intrigue about that particular play by itself,

72
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: what what what's the play call there? Is he deciding

73
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: to go on his.

74
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: Own, like no, he doesn't go rogue. No, those aren't

75
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: things that he does and goes rogue. And you know,

76
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: so we discuss those things and Josh and I talk

77
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: them through and what we want to do in five

78
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: minutes and plays that.

79
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: We have available, and you know, those are.

80
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: Always things that we can go to. So just trying

81
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: to get everybody on the same page. And you know,

82
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: Drake was able to do that and give us use

83
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: his legs.

84
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 7: And the situational awareness. I think if there's one massive

85
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 7: difference outside of the players and all the other things

86
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 7: that have been changed year to year, it's that no

87
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 7: situation felt like it was out of control. You watch

88
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 7: the game, you go back to that Saints game where

89
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 7: you challenge it so they wind the clock, You get

90
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 7: Drake May running directly to you, slide and get the

91
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 7: time out with one second left. Is that something you're

92
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 7: proud of this year, just seeing that, the way the

93
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 7: players have reacted and the way your staff has sort

94
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 7: of been situationally aware in all moments.

95
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that's one thing that I'm

96
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: certainly proud of.

97
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: And we didn't start doing those until training camp just

98
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: because I felt like there was so much to do

99
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: in the offseason that you don't want to bog them down.

100
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: With all these I hate to call them one timers,

101
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: as critical as they are, you just don't want to

102
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: bog them down because some guys become obsessed with it,

103
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: and certainly I've been down that rabbit hole of getting

104
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: being obsessed with it, and you know what's too much, like,

105
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 3: you know, are you going to take a hurry up safety?

106
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

107
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: Like, there's under four minutes and you get sacked inside

108
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: the five yard line and you're down, and you should

109
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 3: run the punt team out there and take a safety.

110
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 3: But should you just line the offense up and hurry

111
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: up and take a satany? I mean these things that

112
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: you're like, Okay, that could happen. It's never happened, but

113
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: it could, and.

114
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: So yes.

115
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: So then we get into training camp and then we

116
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: start to build and some of it didn't look good.

117
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: I just said, hey, bear with just just stay with it.

118
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: Trust me. I've been through this.

119
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: I've seen young players, seen all different players not get

120
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: it at first, not understand what this situation is, and

121
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: just you have to be willing to talk answer the question,

122
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 3: figure it out. Trial and error and then we've gotten

123
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: better at it.

124
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: Where are you kind of philosophically on the going for

125
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: it as opposed to taking the points? It's it's you know,

126
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if you pay attention to the to

127
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: the I mean I.

128
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: Think we all have to. Yeah, I mean we do.

129
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: And again, you just you know, I don't mind being aggressive.

130
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: I don't mind being aggressive. You just I think the

131
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: biggest thing is trying to predict the flow of the

132
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 3: game and what that's going to look like and how

133
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: many points do you think that you're going to need

134
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 3: to eventually win the football game. Man, we've gone for

135
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: and gotten it. We've gone forward and not gotten it. Obviously,

136
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: when you get it, it looks like a great decision.

137
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: But on the other side of the court is that

138
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: you don't get it. And you know now the reaction

139
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 3: and the response of what happens after that.

140
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: Uh, in the first half of your offense, really you know,

141
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: was struggling a little bit, but I.

142
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: Thought the heart you hear wet he probably sho yes,

143
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: I hear him.

144
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: So sorry about that.

145
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: But coming out of coming out at the halftime, the

146
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 4: adjustments wanted to know what you said to your team

147
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 4: because that nine and a half minute drive which led

148
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 4: to a field goal. In my opinion, that was, you know,

149
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 4: one of the major pots and why you were able

150
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 4: to win the football game.

151
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: What was said at halftime.

152
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, then we're gonna have to be able to run

153
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: the football and move the line of scrimmage and stay

154
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: committed to it, push some piles. You know, there's not

155
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: gonna be a whole lot of points in this football game,

156
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 3: and then we have to come away with points. And

157
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 3: I said, if you give us some points on his

158
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 3: first drive, I've got a feeling that that's gonna be.

159
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: That's all we're gonna need.

160
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 5: Milton Williams was very adamant after the game, saying, talk

161
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 5: that s today talking about how especially the defense has

162
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 5: been disrespected, whether it's during the regular season, postseason, and

163
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 5: then you've got reports coming out of people saying the

164
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 5: Super Bowl was actually played in the NFC championship game.

165
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 6: Do you like that your guys are playing with the

166
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 6: chip on their shoulder. It seems to be working.

167
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: However, they have to get ready to play the football game.

168
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: That's that's all I care about.

169
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 6: So do you feel like they've been disrespected?

170
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter I mean we're in a Super Bowl, Cort, Yeah,

171
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: like we can. We can pump this thing up for

172
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: ten days. And I mean we're all compensated very well

173
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: for what we do. So I don't think there's any

174
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: disrespect from misbuilding or my appreciation for our football team.

175
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: And it doesn't bother me.

176
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: No.

177
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: You know who's not in the super Bowl all the

178
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: thirty other teams the Steelers. Yeah you are a Steeler fan,

179
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: are you?

180
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 6: Guys are so annoying your joy? The second team is

181
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 6: the Steeler joy.

182
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: That you you don't have that much team for your backup? Yeah?

183
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing that nothing that forgives it.

184
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 5: Nod And like I said then, I was doing a tour.

185
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: Mike, Here's what you know.

186
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: Was always interesting as I look at teams going to

187
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl being part of it and haven't done

188
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 4: it twice. How do you make sure that the guys,

189
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: especially a lot of these younger guys in a different

190
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: world with the social media and the technology, don't get

191
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 4: so distracted with all the hooplah, and to make sure

192
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 4: that they stay focused and understand it's just another key.

193
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: Again, that's what we've done most of the year.

194
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: I would imagine that they're going to be on their

195
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: phones just like they were last week, and you know,

196
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: we'll have to have a plan and we'll get them ready,

197
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 3: we'll coach them, we'll keep them engaged, you know when

198
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: we get out there, and and again they're they're gonna

199
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: I want them, We're gonna we've enjoyed this thing and

200
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: they have to continue to enjoy it.

201
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 2: But there's there's boundaries to that.

202
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 7: Speaking of preparation, Devin mccordy joined US earlier before one

203
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 7: of the playoff games, and he said that Bill Belichick

204
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 7: would practice the Super Time Super Bowl halftime show in

205
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 7: the build up to the game, not like with the show,

206
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 7: but that they would spend whatever the duration of halftime

207
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 7: was off the field during their build up to the

208
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 7: super Bowl and then return for the second half. But

209
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 7: he said it actually gave them a pretty good advantage.

210
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 7: Is that's something you would consider doing.

211
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: I would consider doing anything, you know.

212
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: I mean it's a little bit longer, you know, twenty

213
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: five minutes or whatever it is normalst thirteen. So again,

214
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: I guess, you know, those are things that we always

215
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 3: have to consider, and nobody just you know, got more

216
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 3: practice at it than the people that have been here

217
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 3: in this building, So we'll try to do with everything

218
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: we can.

219
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: We were talking earlier about the offense and it's it's

220
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: so nitpicky because you guys win these football games. So

221
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm confident that that's what your answer is going to

222
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: be to me. But just you look at these three

223
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: games and Drake's completion percentage is fifty five percent. It

224
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: was set a franchise record in the regular season at

225
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: seventy two percent. Is there is there anything that that's

226
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: going on offense wise, whether it be you know, is

227
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: is it better defenses that you guys are facing.

228
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of them.

229
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: That's one of them. In lines struggling weather like or

230
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: is it.

231
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 3: Just I mean, I think it's just a lot of

232
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: those combinations and playoff football, and you know, I mean again,

233
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: we're going to you know, have to play better offensively.

234
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: We'll have to continue to do what we've done defensively,

235
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: try to take care of, you know, the football, which

236
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: we did.

237
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 2: We talked about going into Denver.

238
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: You know, those teams that have won the last three years,

239
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: their last two years that joined the Mile High Club,

240
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: they they didn't turn the ball over and we were

241
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: the fourth one to go in there and win and

242
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: not turn the ball over.

243
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 4: When you talk about your defense, and one thing that

244
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 4: I've really been impressed with with you guys, especially in

245
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 4: the season is your aggressiveness. You know, whether that's you know,

246
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: adding extra guys, it seems like you're just really aggressive.

247
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: What kind of.

248
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: Led to that change a little bit especially into the

249
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 4: postseason or is this something that you and the coaches

250
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: talk about and say, hey, we want to be a

251
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 4: little bit more aggressive here.

252
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 3: I just think that that's kind of the plan that

253
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: you look at each and every week. That could change here.

254
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: We'll start game planning here this morning and figuring out

255
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: what we need.

256
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: But you know, everything we do, we.

257
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 3: Want to do it aggressively, but not recklessly, whether that's

258
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: having the football in our hands or making a pass

259
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: or blitz in. And you know, we want to be sound,

260
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: but you know also want to be aggressive.

261
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 5: Leonard Taylor getting a taste of the ball where those

262
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 5: were his words, tipping the ball there? Perfect time for

263
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 5: you guys to call him up? How happy were you

264
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 5: for him?

265
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: Lenny t Revenge game Week seven.

266
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: It lives on started with the Jets revenge game, and

267
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 3: now we just have built on it.

268
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: It's the stuff that we find really happy for him.

269
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 3: Know, he's a great kid, and uh, we talk about

270
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: everybody's journey to their career looks a little differently. He

271
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: was with the Jets and we were able to pick

272
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: him up and loved them. Love this attitude, his willingness

273
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: to work and try to make some plays and help

274
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: this team.

275
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: And he made another one.

276
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Some young guys on this team. How many guys on

277
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: the team actually got the Warriors reference.

278
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: There wasn't a single showed the dividio. I got to

279
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 3: actually show the right and the stuff that they still

280
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just keep trying to pull shit

281
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 3: out my assis. They you know, I'm like, let's see

282
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 3: how this goes. The next thing, you know, we're walking

283
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 3: around the building. We got guys with like the soy

284
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 3: sauce bottles walking around the building and then uh Mac

285
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 3: goes and buys the little beer bottles and empties them out,

286
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I mean.

287
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: It's all he sold it.

288
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: He's watched to get the Universe, they get the outfit and.

289
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: Everything, all right, So you decided to show them that movie.

290
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 2: This was a wild.

291
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: Little little motivation.

292
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: This was a while ago this is just you know.

293
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 4: I thought he was going full on character though, just

294
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 4: best no shirt.

295
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 7: So this morning or starting yesterday, the internet doctors have

296
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 7: seen an issue in Drake May's shoulder following a hit

297
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 7: during the AFC Championship game. Is he one hundred percent

298
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 7: healthy today? As you guys get ready.

299
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: There's not a player on our team that's one hundred

300
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: percent healthy.

301
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 7: Is he healthy enough to play at a high level?

302
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: I would imagine we'll go through the injury report and

303
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: whenever we have to turn that in, we'll turn it in.

304
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: But nobody's one hundred percent. This will be our twenty

305
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: first game.

306
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 4: You talk about that all the time. Everybody's journey's different

307
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: and where did that come from? Because I think that

308
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 4: really resonates with players.

309
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: It's the truth, right.

310
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: All I try to do is look at things that

311
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: are actually factual and talk about them and bring them

312
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: to life, and say, somebody's drafted in the.

313
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 2: First round, somebody drafted the third round, so we got cut.

314
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: Somebody played four years for the Steelers, didn't start game

315
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 3: and then started the next ten years of his career.

316
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: It's just go on and look at it. It's it's

317
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: all different. And that's that's what the reality is. And

318
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 3: sometimes it takes a second or third place, or sometimes

319
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 3: it takes getting cut and saying you know what, that

320
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: sucks and I'm lucky. Then I got another opportunity. I'm

321
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: never going to let that happen. Or hey I got traded,

322
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 3: or hey this happened, or I got called up from

323
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: the practice squad. And I didn't think that I was

324
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 3: gonna get called up for the practice squad, but I

325
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: was ready to go, and then they kept calling me

326
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: up or then they signed me under the roster.

327
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: It just that's just the facts. Was like, I made

328
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: that up. That's really happen.

329
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I played in the league a long time,

330
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 4: and I feel like you said, you've been to.

331
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: Two Super Bowls. You played in the league a really

332
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: long time, Like is this your resume?

333
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: No, no, no, But I feel like I've never heard that.

334
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: You know, you don't want to sign me. I mean, sure,

335
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 4: you could use a third string tight end. I'm not

336
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 4: going to do anything a fourth string fifth string specialists. Okay,

337
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 4: third and one. That's about it.

338
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 5: Steph Diggs had an interesting path to get to where

339
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 5: he is right now.

340
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 6: He said that you were the best coach he's ever

341
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 6: played for.

342
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 5: Do you feel like that relationship is helping him get

343
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 5: back to where he is or is that just all

344
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 5: on him. I know you don't like to give yourself credit,

345
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 5: but everybody else gives you a lot of credit.

346
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate that.

347
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: I again, he's been a great addition to our football

348
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 3: team with his energy, is attitude, his demeanor and then

349
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: obviously his his performance. So it's been fun having him

350
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: around and we're you know, I love coaching him, and

351
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: so again I try to have a relationship with everybody

352
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 3: here and somehow.

353
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: Try to help him and Cardi B.

354
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: Of course Cardi B take them to the loom delta.

355
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: I love Cardio.

356
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she makes enough money. Jested yesterday on

357
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: the show that Cardi you should be the Queen of

358
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: New England. But I believe that that role is already

359
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: taken by Ann Michael May.

360
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: There's room for our couple.

361
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 4: What I said, I said, you're gonna have two queens.

362
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: New England's big enough.

363
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 4: And the only reason why I asked these things is

364
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 4: because when I see you talk and no, no, but

365
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: but to me, it's like when I see you and

366
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,119
Speaker 4: I said, man, I played for a bunch of different coaches, unfortunately,

367
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: because you know that was my career, right, that was

368
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 4: the journey, and some of the messages that you tell

369
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 4: these guys, I'm like, man, I wish I had a

370
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 4: coach like that that communicated like that, that you know,

371
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 4: coached like that. So when I asked these questions, I

372
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: feel like if I was a player right now, I

373
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 4: would be willing to, you know, run through brick walls

374
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 4: for you. And so I'm asking, like where that comes from.

375
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: Just try to just try to give them all the

376
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: information that I think is going to help them, and

377
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: then hold them accountable and then coach them and try

378
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: to teach them and so along that is just you know,

379
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: things that I think is going to help them. I

380
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: know that there's only so many opportunities that that you

381
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 3: get in this league, and whether that's going to a

382
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: different team or you know, being inactive one week or

383
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 3: being getting an injury and coming back, or getting an

384
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 3: opportunity to step in because somebody is down.

385
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 2: I just try to tell him that these things don't

386
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: come along all that often.

387
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 1: Probably hard, probably hard to pick one, but who's been

388
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 1: the most influential coach when it comes to your life.

389
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I've been again, I've been lucky. I've been

390
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: a lot of great places in Pittsburgh to.

391
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 3: Start my career at Pittsburgh, and great people at Ohio

392
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 3: State obviously this organization and Bill and all the great

393
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 3: assistants that he had, Romeo Cornell and Dean ps and

394
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 3: you know, Matt Patricia and again going to be with

395
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: Bill O'Brien and Urban Meyer after I finished playing.

396
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: Uh, these are all great people and things to learn from.

397
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: So hard to pick one, it is. I really really

398
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: try to take something from each and everything.

399
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 7: I thought, you sit down with Bill Kawer before the

400
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 7: game was awesome. And the story he told about you

401
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 7: reaching free agency and you're negotiating and he said, you know,

402
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 7: we can probably get close on the money, but not

403
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 7: the opportunity, and how that has sort of been a

404
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 7: sort of part guiding how you communicate with your players.

405
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: That tough lesson, I think, so yeah, And so it

406
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 3: was again, I remember it was less than I got

407
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: coming out of the draft. When I got drafted, you

408
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: get a signing bonus, and then my free agency signing

409
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: bonus was less than that.

410
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 2: So it wasn't very much, and.

411
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 3: He just said, we could probably pay you the same

412
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: thing to be a backup here, but they are offering

413
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: an opportunity to go up and earn a position. He's like,

414
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: you know, it didn't take me long to figure out

415
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: that that's what he was just saying.

416
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: I think you should probably take it.

417
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 3: And again we went back into Pittsburgh and beat them

418
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 3: that first year that I was here, So that was

419
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 3: pretty cool.

420
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: Looking ahead through a week from Sunday, some of the

421
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: kind of some of the problems that these guys can

422
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: can cause for you.

423
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 3: Well, they're excellent, really in all three phases, and they

424
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 3: kicked the special teams, have broken games open. It was

425
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 3: a tie game in Atlanta opening half of the second

426
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: half and they take one to the house. Defense creates

427
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: two turnovers and then that kind of gets out of hand.

428
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 3: So defensively they're they're big along the front, very active,

429
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: number one scoring defense in the league. Offensively, big offensive line.

430
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 3: You know, multiple different run schemes. Obviously JSN is an issue.

431
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold, we talk about journeys and things like that.

432
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: No no better example than than him, and talented and

433
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: is obviously figuring it out well.

434
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: Twenty nineteen on Busting with the Boys, you said you

435
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: would be willing to cut off the most important male

436
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: appendage to win a Super Bowl?

437
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: Is that?

438
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe maybe I'll cut it a half, but

439
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: I ain't.

440
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: I was suppressive right there.

441
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: That was just to get that young fledgling group Taylor

442
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: and will get him, you know, get them to fly.

443
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: Podcast until you wouldn't part, would not part with the whole.

444
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 2: Now, don't you know what I mean? I say a

445
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: lot of things I don't. Yeah, I do way too

446
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: long too we

447
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: That is Mike Rabel, the head coach of the New

448
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: England Patriots,
