Football has officially wrapped 2 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: up the Brown the ready to face the Steeler John 3 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: Chase Games, and this is the from the Podium podcast. 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: Some big names took to the podium today to give 5 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: us their final thoughts before Monday Night's game. Before practice though, 6 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: we hear from a few position coaches. First one up, 7 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: tight ends coach T. C. McCartney, who talked about how 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: good David Njoku has looked in practices and how Harrison 9 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: Brian is progressing after missing most of training camp. 10 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 2: Harrison obviously missed a large basically all of training camp. 11 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 2: Once you guys got back here, how have you seen 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: him kind of give back into form, get back into shape, 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 2: and how good was it to see him, you know, 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 2: getting the end zone someday? 15 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 3: Oh, it was really good to see him getting the endzone. 16 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 4: It's always fun. 17 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 3: And a really nice spike. There a lot of height 18 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: on that spike. But he did miss a lot of time. 19 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 3: The one thing you never worry about with Harrison is 20 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: knowing what to do, and so I felt comfortable with 21 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 3: him mentally going into the game. But there's a lot 22 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: of reps that he had to get. He got some 23 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 3: extras on scout team. They're trying to get himself back 24 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 3: into football playing shape. But he felt good out there 25 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 3: and we'll continue to work that process. 26 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 4: It's definitely a process, he said. 27 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 5: Mike tramlin I listened to his press conference the other 28 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 5: day and he was talking about David and Joku and said, 29 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 5: just how much he's kind of grown up in the program. 30 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 5: You can see the development and maturation. And I know 31 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 5: you guys have talk about that a lot, but I 32 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 5: guess is that just kind of validation for what you 33 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 5: guys have seen that David has taken all these huge 34 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 5: steps since you guys have had him. 35 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean, he came into the league so young. 36 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 3: He was so young when he got here, there's always 37 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 3: going to be growing up there. And then he's taken 38 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 3: a lot of steps in these last few years, being 39 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 3: a leader on the team, and obviously some production last 40 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: year before he got hurt, where you're starting to see 41 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 3: everything that he wants and that everyone expected from him 42 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: to start. 43 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 5: Is this a game where you could see David making 44 00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 5: some hay and having a nice game. 45 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 4: I certainly hope. 46 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: So I go into every game thinking that, but he 47 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: I know he's excited for the opportunity. He played well 48 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 3: last year both games versus these guys, So anytime it's 49 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 3: a rivalry game, I think he's he's geeked up and 50 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 3: ready to play. 51 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess a game like that where you know 52 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 6: he only has two catches, but you know he played 53 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 6: a bunch. I mean, do you still kind of watch 54 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 6: that tape and see his impact in the run game 55 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 6: and kind of all those other areas just besides catching 56 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 6: the ball. 57 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 3: Absolutely, we talked about it all the time, just being 58 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 3: able to play without the ball, you know, more of 59 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 3: a turn they using basketball. But in the run game, 60 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 3: he's made some huge blocks on the third down run 61 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: we had getting that pin on the one where Wyatt 62 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 3: had the you know, the pancake, but Dave had a 63 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 3: huge block there. Being able to leave him in pass protection, 64 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 3: there's a lot of tight end around the league you 65 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: can't do that with but he can. That allows us 66 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 3: to get other guys out and route. So he impacts 67 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 3: the game in a ton of different ways. And it's 68 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 3: not always the catches, And of course we all want 69 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 3: the production, but he just he opens things up for 70 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: a lot of other people. He allows us to do 71 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 3: a lot of different things offensively, which allows us to 72 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: be good. So I think he knows that, which is why, 73 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 3: you know what, some days you don't get all the balls, 74 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 3: some days you will. They kind of come in bunches. 75 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: So we'll see how it goes the rest of the season. 76 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: I'll have his hands gotten better over the years and 77 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 2: how came a better receiver. 78 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 3: He's worked really hard on route running. I know that 79 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 3: still some room to grow because he should never get covered. 80 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 3: He's just too big and fast. So anytime he's covered, 81 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: he did something wrong. Tell him, I said that, okay, 82 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: But I know he has a jugs machine at his house. 83 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 3: He works on it all the time, and so I 84 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 3: call him at times. He's over at his house just 85 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 3: catching balls. He has guys over there come catch balls. 86 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: So he worked really hard at it. I wasn't really 87 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: here when at the beginning of his career, but ever 88 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 3: since I've been here, I know, just working the drugs 89 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 3: at home, working catches pre practice. He's always been really 90 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: diligent about that. 91 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: He's focused on so but you know when he sees 92 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: like last week, Kittle had a big game against against Pittsburgh, 93 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: and you know, I've heard him talk about Kelsey before. 94 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: How much does that sort of heck can you notice, 95 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 2: you know, wanting to be considered in that that tier 96 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: of tight end. How much is that you notice him 97 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: that driving him? 98 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 3: I think it definitely, It definitely drives him. He definitely 99 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 3: wants to be known as one of the best in 100 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 3: the game, and everyone knows that that kind of the 101 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 3: recognition he gets from production. 102 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 4: But we watch those guys, I make a cut up. 103 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 3: From him for all the exploses around the league, for 104 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 3: all the tight ends, So they gotta watch those guys. 105 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: They kind of keep up with what everybody's doing. I 106 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: think that's important at your position to just know what's 107 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: going on. But I think definitely drives him. Being the 108 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 3: best drives him as a team in as individual. So 109 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 3: I think he's definitely aware of what's going on around 110 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: the league with other of the other tight ends. 111 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 5: And a challenge to what heismith present for your guys, 112 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 5: especially with a rookie right tackle. 113 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 4: You guys might need to help more than yeah. 114 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 3: I mean, it doesn't matter who the tackles are. When 115 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 3: those edge players are out there, you gotta have a 116 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 3: plan form, you got to mix up looks, you gotta 117 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: do a lot of different things, So there's always a 118 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: challenge when you're playing these guys. It's always a challenge 119 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 3: when you're playing the Pittsburgh Steelers defense. They're always good 120 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 3: and these edge players kind of make that whole defense go. 121 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 3: So we're definitely aware of where they're gonna be. 122 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 4: We're aware of. 123 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 3: What we have to do to in the run game, 124 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 3: in the past game, pass protection game, what we're gonna 125 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 3: do to try and be successful. 126 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 7: What other challenges does does the Steelers present the titles? 127 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 3: You know, I think they do a good job of 128 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 3: mixing looks. They had to different personnel packages. They they 129 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: present you some some different looks across the board. You know, 130 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: you're not sure what you're gonna get. So I think 131 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 3: that's always a challenge there on the edge. But I 132 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: think what really makes it go is those players. Those 133 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: guys are really really good. 134 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: The other position coach to speak before practice linebacker coach 135 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: Jason Tart, who talked about how well the linebacker unit 136 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: has played last week and how this group can help 137 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 1: slow down Pat Fryarmouth on Monday night, walk back. 138 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 2: On the field and they can plays on Sunday. 139 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 8: That's awesome. 140 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 9: It's great to see those guys. Proud of them for 141 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 9: how much they've put in so much work. They're in 142 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 9: the buildings as much as us as coaches rehaving their injuries, 143 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 9: working together. 144 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 8: How well they communicate. 145 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 9: They communicate it really well in that football game and 146 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 9: we expect that and need that from him again. And 147 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 9: you know number six he changed his number. He had 148 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 9: been out for a little while too, So he's good 149 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 9: to see all three of. 150 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 5: Them talk during the week about you know, it's almost 151 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 5: a year from the injury. It's Pittsburgh, it's prime time, 152 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 5: and it brought up some emotions for him. Have you 153 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 5: seen that out of him this week? 154 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: Oh? 155 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 8: It walks the same every day. So he is locked in. 156 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 9: I mean we just finished our meeting and he was 157 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 9: the first one to answer a lot. And it's a 158 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 9: competition in that room and that's how we like it. So, 159 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 9: I mean, that's who he is all the time. And 160 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 9: each one of these our goal is to one to Oh. 161 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 9: So the motivation to play each week in this league 162 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 9: and that room is is we're getting it going. It's 163 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 9: it's where we need it to be, which is be 164 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 9: the best we can be each week. Whenever whenever they 165 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 9: blow the whitzer, put the ball and put the ball 166 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 9: down and start playing. What's leadership style? 167 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 8: Like Anthony? You know, he's he's he's amazing. 168 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 9: He's the son of a coach, so he's been around 169 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 9: coaches his whole life. So what he has is he 170 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 9: has a unique ability to talk to any any human 171 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 9: from any with any background. 172 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 8: He's he's really special. 173 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 9: So sometimes it might be pulling somebody aside one on one. 174 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 9: Sometimes it might be to the whole group. Hey, we've 175 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 9: had enough of this, let's go. He's got it all. 176 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 5: City never blitzed that much before. I guess obviously you 177 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 5: liked him and that you guys like him in that role. 178 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 5: So what makes him effective is. 179 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 9: A blitzer or guys, what we want to do when 180 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 9: we blitz is we want to bring it. We want 181 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 9: to get to their backfield as fast as we can. 182 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 9: Like a lot of the things you've heard from coach Schwartz, 183 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 9: what's great about this defense is how fast and how 184 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 9: direct we can hit things. And that's our job. So 185 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 9: whatever's on our line that we're running, it's our job 186 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 9: to wreck whatever's on that line, so to speak with 187 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 9: our hands and make plays. So whether we're when we 188 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 9: get the opportunity to rush as linebackers, we've got to 189 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 9: take advantage of it because if we don't run our 190 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 9: line and reck stuff, then Coach Schwart's probably not gonna 191 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 9: call the call again. So for all our guys, we 192 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 9: need to make sure we're attacking. When our numbers called, 193 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 9: we need to go. And that's the beauty of this 194 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 9: defense is the number can be. We can blitz from 195 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 9: just about anywhere. It just depends what Coach Schwartz pushes 196 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 9: the button on. So when you get your turn, you 197 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 9: got to take advantage of that. And that's fun as 198 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 9: a player, you know, and as a coach to watch 199 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 9: of course. 200 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 10: Okay, in mini camp you kind of challenged him a 201 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 10: little bit. 202 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: And you you know, set forth some things that you 203 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: wanted and needed him to do. Did he step up 204 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 2: and meet that challenge? 205 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 11: Yeah? 206 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 9: There was two big things. The number one is get strong. 207 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 9: He's gotten stronger. His his process of preparing his body 208 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 9: is much better. He's and then the next thing is, 209 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 9: you know, to be the same every day and really 210 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 9: be focusing on his craft every day. His notes have improved, 211 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 9: his attention to detail on and off the field has improved, 212 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 9: and his ability to make corrections between series on the 213 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 9: sideline is going up, so hopefully, and we think he 214 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 9: will stay on this process because where he is right 215 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 9: now is exciting to watch. He's playing fast, and he 216 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 9: can even play faster as he continues to improve his process. 217 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 6: A little surprised how quickly Taki talk he's gotten back 218 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 6: and has been able to play so effectively already. 219 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 9: Like those guys Anthony and Todd, they're they're amazing how 220 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 9: hard they work. They make you happy to be associated 221 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 9: with them as a person and as a coach because 222 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 9: they just everything they do is about getting back and 223 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 9: getting their bodies ready and their minds ready to help 224 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 9: their teammates make plays. And they're both totally unselfish as well. 225 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 9: So surprised not by how hard they work. They're pros 226 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 9: and and it's the word is proud and and just 227 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 9: can't wait to watch him play one week at a 228 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 9: time and focus on it that way. 229 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 8: So we like where they are and where they're going. 230 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 6: Talk a lot about Anthony's leadership, but how has oh yeah, 231 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 6: well we've talked a little bit. 232 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 9: You've you've heard from me over the past whatever year, 233 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 9: year and a half about how his progression is just amazing. 234 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 9: When we got here, Sioni's rookie year was filled with injuries, right, 235 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 9: so when we got here and then we had the 236 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 9: COVID offseason, so we you know, we're on FaceTime and 237 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 9: zoom and all those I don't even know if I 238 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 9: know how to use zoom anymore now I'm kidding, But 239 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 9: just to watch him where he was really a sam 240 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 9: Will and just grew into being able to handle any 241 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 9: position and being able to focus on any of the spots, 242 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 9: and it just went like he just got better and 243 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 9: better and better out and the last year got his 244 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 9: opportunity to be the full time Mike, so now he 245 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 9: can do all of it. And it's really really cool 246 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 9: how he's learned how to do that, because in this 247 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 9: and in anything, when you're learning, you got to figure 248 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 9: out how you learn. Every person learns different and our 249 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 9: job as a coach is to just help these guys. 250 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 8: And what's been. 251 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 9: Cool is to watch one figure out how to lock in. 252 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 9: It's amazing. And when a person in any field learns 253 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 9: how they learn and can lock in, then they're they're 254 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 9: ready for greatness and one's processes. That's been really cool 255 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 9: to watch and help him along as good as I could. 256 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: Matchup issues does firm ruth present, especially for the linebackers. 257 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 9: He's strong, and he's got strong hands, and he's big, 258 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 9: and he's got a good feel for where people are 259 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 9: zoner Man, so that can be you know, where he 260 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 9: can get into some things and maybe stop around at 261 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 9: a certain point in time. 262 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 8: You know, maybe. 263 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 9: Sooner as he feels where people are, and then he's 264 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 9: big enough to become a big target. So that's really 265 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 9: the challenge is understanding how he sees coverages and where 266 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 9: he's going to move and know where we are on 267 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 9: those coverages and then be able to break on the ball. 268 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 9: We've worked a good amount of that against all tight ends, 269 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 9: but also this week, so say we're in a zone, 270 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 9: we got to know where he might stop and then 271 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 9: the quarterback of course has the ball, so he takes 272 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 9: us to it, but we we've got to feel where 273 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 9: he is. 274 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 8: So that's the challenge Johnson out. 275 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 2: Do you expect that he'll become a more even more 276 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: pronounced part of that of that passing game. 277 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 9: They use both you know, three wide receiver groups with 278 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 9: one tight end on the field and one back, and 279 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 9: they also use a good amount of two receivers with 280 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 9: two tight ends, and you know they they drafted a 281 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 9: tight end, so they have a few more tight ends. 282 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 9: So we expect to see both sets of those personnel 283 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 9: groups and then moving people around, because they do a 284 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 9: good job of moving. 285 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 8: Their people around. 286 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 11: To be concerned. 287 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 9: Pickett, he's gotten better and better at his decision making 288 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 9: and he he he knows how to read coverages, and 289 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 9: he's played a lot of football. He's an experienced guy, 290 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 9: so he's seen a lot of both, like, for example, 291 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 9: give an example of feeling where guys are in the pocket. 292 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 8: He's got a lot of reps of that. 293 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 9: Sometimes you quote younger or less experienced quarterbacks don't feel 294 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 9: the pocket as well. He's played a lot of football, 295 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 9: so he's got a good feel for those things. So 296 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 9: that's really the challenge is making sure that we whatever 297 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 9: the scheme is, whether we're blitzing, excited to talk about 298 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 9: blitzing again, but whether we're blitz whether we're in our zones, 299 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 9: we got to understand, you know, who he is, what 300 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 9: he looks like on quicker throws, what he looks like 301 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 9: on those things, and be ready, be ready to execute. 302 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 5: Within this games challenge when obviously they didn't. Pittsburg not 303 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 5: played its best game against the Niners. Right, So you 304 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 5: guys are watching that, is there any danger in just 305 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 5: seeing that game and oh my god, there's all these 306 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 5: flaws when you know that they're probably. 307 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 4: A lot better than that. 308 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 9: It's Monday night football in Pittsburgh. What's better than that? 309 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 9: You know you're going to get your best from every 310 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 9: human that steps on that field. Uh, players, coaches, officials, everyone, 311 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 9: So they're what happens in this league is is next 312 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 9: next game? 313 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 8: You got to play each game individually. 314 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 9: Okay, we need our passion on defense that we play 315 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 9: with to even go up a level, and our communication 316 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 9: to go up a level each week. 317 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 8: I mean that's the goal. 318 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 9: But in this environment, we're we're gonna have to bring 319 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 9: everything we got all right to play for as long 320 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 9: as they tell us to play. So I don't think 321 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 9: any of that really matters. It's the Browns and the Steelers, 322 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 9: and you know, we got to go and we're excited 323 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 9: about it. 324 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 2: Get to that level without a Juju Smith Schuster or 325 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 2: a Jamar Chase, you know, throwing a little. 326 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 7: Log on the fire. 327 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's about us. 328 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 9: So internally, that's where we really have to go to 329 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 9: get where we want to get as a football team 330 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 9: is to be able to bring that every single day. 331 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 9: We're about to go do our quote Friday practice on 332 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 9: a Saturday, right because we're on Monday vote and you 333 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 9: can tell right now, I'm getting ready to bring whatever 334 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 9: we got each day. 335 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 8: I think we're learning how to do that. I think 336 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 8: we're better. 337 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 9: I mean, I really want to be able to prove 338 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 9: that we're better at that day in and day out 339 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 9: as a defensive the linebacker, corps, everything. But that's the challenge. 340 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 9: And when you reach that, then it's just about yourself 341 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 9: completely and how you prepare. And as I've you know, 342 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 9: been here for a while now, that's the challenge here 343 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 9: and that's the challenge weekly. 344 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 8: So you're hitting it on the head. I know that's 345 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 8: a coaching answer, but that is it. 346 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 9: It's how well you can direct your brain to focus 347 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 9: on what you need to do each day as a 348 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 9: unit and tie everybody together. I think we're closer, but 349 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 9: we need to go do that weekly. 350 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 2: With the run fits against Cincinnati and how important is 351 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 2: that going to be? Because we talked a lot about 352 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 2: Pickett and the passing game, but Naja Harris also very capable. 353 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I don't remember the stats, but he's up 354 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 9: there with miss tackles and things, and he runs hard. 355 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 8: He's very patient. 356 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 9: They you know, they do a really good job of 357 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 9: picking guys to fit their scheme and who they are 358 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 9: throughout their history. And he's a patient runner, and he's 359 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 9: big and he's strong. So to answer the first part question, uh, 360 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 9: fits last week. You've heard this from coach Swartz. You've 361 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 9: heard it from me as well. The D line's job 362 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 9: or when we're blitzing, is to mess stuff up right, 363 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 9: and the job of everybody else behind the line of 364 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 9: scrimmage is to fix it. 365 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 8: We fixed most of it. 366 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 9: We had a back to back series where a couple 367 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 9: of runs got out, so of course we practiced the 368 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 9: heck out of those. But we need to be better 369 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 9: this week, and that's our goal, is to be better, 370 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 9: making who's ever rushing correct and working together to do that. 371 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: After practice, head coach Kevin Stefanski came to the podium. 372 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: He gave us the final injury report and a few 373 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: injury updates for Monday's game, also his final thoughts on Pittsburgh. 374 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 10: Okay, good work week, out there. Still got tomorrow, we'll 375 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 10: have our walk through before we get on the buses 376 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 10: tomorrow afternoon and head east. We're excited for the challenge. 377 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 10: Like I mentioned to you guys, a lot of respect 378 00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 10: for this team. We know the challenges that they ring 379 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 10: based on their offense, their defense, or special teams. But 380 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,719 Speaker 10: really focused on getting a good work work weekend. So 381 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 10: we'll continue on our on our process as that throughout 382 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 10: this week. Really just to walk through as that we 383 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 10: have left are as important as anything we do. So 384 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 10: excited for the challenge. With that, I'll take any questions. 385 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 12: A Mari to the injury report. 386 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 10: Something happened today, Yeah, I had a aggravated his growing 387 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 10: brought him inside. I really don't have an update past that, 388 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 10: So we'll see how he does over the next forty 389 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 10: eight hours related to bother them. 390 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 4: Last time I don't. 391 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 6: Is what he missed time with earlier and earlier in 392 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 6: the season, like at the Green Brain. 393 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 8: I don't think so. 394 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, line, look in the last two days, Yeah look good. 395 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 10: You know, just did individual yesterday, had some reps today 396 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 10: look good, But again something that you really want to 397 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 10: use the time. See how he responds, see how he 398 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 10: feels tomorrow, see how he feels on Monday before we 399 00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 10: make a determination. 400 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 5: Talked about pickings before a little bit, But what's the approach. 401 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 12: When a guy can make the kind of crazy catches 402 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 12: that he does. 403 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 10: Well, we've seen it, he's done. I mean he's he's 404 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 10: done it in games versus us. We've seen them do 405 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 10: it in the NFL. He's extremely talented. Listen, part of 406 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 10: this game, and every game is one on one matchups. 407 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 10: You know, you can account for him at times and 408 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 10: zones and man and then like they do, they wait 409 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 10: for one on ones. And that's the challenge that corners 410 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 10: have going up against a great player like him is 411 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 10: trying to win those fifty to fifty balls. That's he 412 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 10: just has great body control, ball skills, all those type 413 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 10: of things. So we understand the challenge. 414 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: I can't play. 415 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 5: What does that do to your offense? 416 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 12: You know who you're looking forward? Step up because he's 417 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 12: such a key guy for you guys. 418 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 10: Yeah, again, we'll see how it goes over the forty 419 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 10: eight hours and we'll make a determination. But that's why 420 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 10: we have we rep guys in different positions and those 421 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 10: type of things, so if we have to adjust, well, 422 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 10: just if you're I really don't know, it just happened, 423 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 10: don't have enough information to say they are, or you know, 424 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 10: two days before the game is Friday. 425 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 4: It's football Friday. 426 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 2: Right, These Football Friday injuries are always so challenging. 427 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's part of it, Mary Kay, I would tell you, 428 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 10: you know, if if we were without Omari will adjust. 429 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 10: We have all day tomorrow, you have all day day 430 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 10: of the game. So, but I don't know that I'm 431 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 10: ready to say that just yet. It's we don't have 432 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 10: enough information yet. 433 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 4: We I mean, you're busy tomorrow. Do you watch games 434 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 4: on TV? Or do you just say that. 435 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 10: When you're at work you're saying the NFL games, Yeah, 436 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 10: if you know, we're on the bus, so I don't 437 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 10: know if we'll get reception while you're traveling tomorrow afternoon 438 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 10: to watch the games. But I think all of us players, coaches, 439 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 10: we all follow this league. I think so many of 440 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 10: us have friends throughout this league that you're following how 441 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 10: people are doing. So we're always aware of who's playing 442 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 10: and how they're doing. Obviously, in game, are your game 443 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 10: ends and you ask, all right, how did this team do? 444 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 10: How so and so do so?
