00:00 All right, I'll just open up.
00:01 Just, I know you guys are probably gonna ask Juju.
00:05 We'll see how the week goes.
00:06 I'll refer to the injury report on Juju.
00:08 He's progressing well.
00:09 And then same thing, Jonathan Taylor and Braden Smith.
00:13 We'll see how the week goes with both those guys.
00:15 - So they have a chance?
00:18 - We'll see.
00:19 (laughing)
00:20 - Yeah, you guys love that response.
00:22 - You guys beat up a setback late last week.
00:23 I know he practiced Friday.
00:26 - Yeah.
00:27 Yeah, he's feeling good though.
00:28 Yeah, he'll be all right.
00:29 Yeah.
00:30 - Jared Belt here, is that just depth?
00:33 - Yeah, we're just at depth.
00:34 Veteran player, playing the league for 12 years.
00:37 Obviously has been in this building.
00:39 So just at him for depth, good to have him.
00:41 - Were you a little surprised when,
00:41 I mean, he hasn't played since he was here basically.
00:45 Were you a little surprised when Chris was like,
00:46 "Hey, we're gonna look at Jared?"
00:48 - Yeah, no, shoot.
00:49 He's played a lot of football in this league.
00:51 He's in good shape.
00:52 Obviously he worked him out
00:53 and he looks good, so excited to have him.
00:57 - What were your takeaways from watching the Steelers?
01:00 - They're a physical group.
01:02 That's kind of been their MO.
01:04 With Tomlin there, they've done a really good job.
01:06 Defensively, you know, it starts up front.
01:08 Highsmith and Wadd are really good players.
01:10 Then Hayward, a veteran guy inside.
01:13 And then Porter, the rookie corner is a good player.
01:15 Patrick Peterson, obviously a veteran player
01:17 and Minkah Fitzpatrick in the back end.
01:20 Really good defense.
01:21 I think they're plus 10 on the turnover margin.
01:23 So they do a good job of taking the ball away.
01:25 So ball security is gonna be at a premium for us this week,
01:29 which will be big.
01:29 And then offensively, you know,
01:31 Pickens is an explosive player.
01:32 They got the two backs that can run.
01:35 So it'll be a heck of a challenge.
01:36 Good to be home though, in Luke's soil with our fans.
01:38 That'll be exciting on Saturday.
