00:00 >> It actually make it a little better, that you can write back at it.
00:03 It's quicker, it's not really a challenge to me.
00:07 >> George, how do you stay patient for double teams?
00:11 And what do you think you could do to try to get open more,
00:15 get more available to quarterback?
00:17 >> I can't do nothing but just throw them around.
00:21 But that's pretty much it.
00:25 >> You get the ball enough, George?
00:26 >> Yeah, I feel like I'm spreading the ball around a lot.
00:29 As an offense, you can't really ask for the ball too much.
00:32 Everybody gotta get their chances.
00:35 >> Are you surprised with the amount that you've been doubled even with Deontay
00:38 back?
00:38 >> Not really.
00:41 I just feel like some teams have certain schemes for certain games.
00:44 >> George, what do you feel like- >> I'm surprised we weren't able to get
00:49 that second toe down on that catch along the sideline.
00:53 Review, it seems like you usually make those somehow, someway.
00:56 >> Yeah, I feel like I made that one too.
00:58 That's what's funny about it.
00:59 But you can't really go back and forth with making the calls.
01:04 >> Is there a way to maybe rush to the line the next play to try to take that out of
01:08 it?
01:09 >> Yeah, you can do stuff like that.
01:12 Rush back to the line, try to get a play off.
01:15 But like I said, you can't control the call.
01:18 >> George, it looks like they're isolating you to one side of the field, and
01:21 they're lining up two receivers and maybe a tighter on the other side.
01:25 What does that kind of alignment do for
01:26 you when you have more space on your side of the field by yourself?
01:30 >> It's always helping, just to have more space.
01:32 It's a better chance of games when you have more space.
01:35 But all I can do is just work on my route.
01:39 >> George, what do you feel like you guys have to do to get those skills back?
01:43 >> I'd probably say just coming off the explosion.
01:46 There's really no justifying starting off fast.
01:49 Depending how fast you wanna start, I'd just say coming off the explosion.
01:54 I'd just say excited.
01:55 I wouldn't say too much excited cuz you know guys have done it before.
01:58 But it's fun for sure.
02:00 >> Some Jaguars safeties had a lot to say about you after that game Sunday.
02:04 What do you make of that?
02:05 >> I can't make too much about it.
02:09 Guys just gonna talk.
02:10 I'm just gonna let them talk.
02:11 I don't like it when they just play my game.
02:14 >> I know that you've been a part of some pretty passionate fan bases playing for
02:17 Georgia.
02:17 But have you been surprised?
02:19 Is there anything different about maybe how vocal some of the Steelers fans here
02:22 are, especially when they're maybe not happy with what's going on in the field?
02:26 >> I ain't never really paid much attention to that, to be honest.
02:30 I just be playing the game.
02:32 I see the fans outside of that.
02:34 I usually get good remarks from fans.
