In the past, we\u2019ve heard about Fitzpatrick joining coaches meetings so this isn\u2019t brand new but it\u2019s really our first-ever look behind-the-curtain from Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p>The coaches I spotted in the meeting were: OLBs Coach Denzel Martin, DC Teryl Austin, DBs Coach Grady Brown, DL Coach Karl Dunbar, and LBs Coach Aaron Curry. So basically everyone on the defensive staff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re losing a lot of bolts and nails to change calls these days,\u201d Tomlin says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re speeding us. They\u2019re getting us with speed to figure us out,\u201d Austin says.<\/p>\n<p>Presumably, referring to issues with teams checking at the line and running tempo to keep Pittsburgh\u2019s defense basic and not allow for their own adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just don\u2019t get a lot of boots in the field,\u201d Austin says as they watch Cleveland Browns QB Jameis Winston completes a red zone pass off play-action to TE David Njoku.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of the dog rush,\u201d Tomlin adds.<\/p>\n<p>Dog Rush referring to both Steelers EDGE players rushing\/blitzing. \u201cDog Rush\u201d is their term for it, as Tomlin noted in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vOxe_gyVpPY&amp;t=982s&amp;ab_channel=ThePatMcAfeeShow\">2021 interview with Pat McAfee.<\/a> In that interview, Tomlin added that\u2019s been the name for that rush throughout the history of the team\u2019s 3-4 defense, Tomlin keeping the name for tradition and so players from current and past generations can relate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoesn\u2019t it feel like we\u2019re losing a lot of them?\u201d Tomlin says, referring to boots. \u201cIt\u2019s been an issue for us in the red zone but it could be an open-grass issue as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The next scene showed a separate meeting of just coaches watching Bengals\u2019 tape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like Brett Favre in Minnesota,\u201d Tomlin said. \u201cAnyone around Joe Burrow\u2019s gonna get a job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re playing any form of Tampa in a gotta-have-it moment, we better have an athlete playing from depth,\u201d said Tomlin. \u201cBecause he\u2019s going to take middle of the field open.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTampa\u201d referring to \u201cTampa 2\u201d coverage with split safeties and a two-high shell, the middle of the field a weakness and requiring an athletic linebacker to run down the seam (or some type of post-snap rotation).<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Because Burrow was hurt and didn\u2019t see the Steelers in 2023, the team was watching 2022 tape, cameras showing the 2022 Week 1 opener with Devin Bush and Myles Jack at linebacker. Burrow threw for 338 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions that day.<\/p>\n<p>DBs Coach Grady Brown weighed in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ability to show one thing pre-snap and play something post-snap is going to be critical,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe gotta keep his ass guessing for four quarters,\u201d Tomlin said of Burrow.<\/p>\n<p>A less polite version of what Tomlin said to the media, <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2024\/12\/you-cant-run-out-of-schematics-mike-tomlin-explains-how-steelers-prepare-for-joe-burrow\/\">pointing out the need for a large \u201cmenu\u201d of plays<\/a> to beat a quarterback talented like Burrow.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The coaches watched WR Ja\u2019Marr Chase run a \u201cBang 8\u201d off play-action. A skinny post, essentially.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis boy flat and friendly,\u201d Tomlin says, noting Chase doesn\u2019t drift on routes and stays flat for his quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 During what I assume was the Wednesday team meeting with Tomlin speaking to the entire group, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields were sitting at the same table in the front of the room. STs Coordinator Danny Smith was also sitting at the front of the room. You can see Wilson\u2019s detailed notebook that looks to be color coordinated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks1.jpg\" data-slb-active=\"1\" data-slb-asset=\"1684136446\" data-slb-internal=\"0\" data-slb-group=\"772017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-772120\" alt=\"\" width=\"699\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks1-1024x643.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks1-768x482.jpg 768w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks1.jpg 1391w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" src=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks1-1024x643.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-772120\" src=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks1-1024x643.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"699\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks1-1024x643.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks1-768x482.jpg 768w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks1.jpg 1391w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Tomlin had a PowerPoint slide entitled \u201cJoe Burrow Plan\u201d and referenced having one for Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. Unfortunately, we didn\u2019t get to see any of the bullet points of said plan.<\/p>\n<p>The show then cut to a later meeting with DL Coach Karl Dunbar, noting the rush can\u2019t be \u201cfour independent contractors.\u201d Meaning, they have to rush as a unit to contain Burrow, who Tomlin and the coaching staff noted was mobile and able to escape against four-man rushers. I assume this is where T.J. Watt <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2024\/11\/t-j-watt-steelers-defensive-line-room-focused-on-not-being-independent-contractors\/\">got the \u201cindependent contractors\u201d line<\/a> when he spoke with the media Friday. Dunbar works with the d-line and EDGE rushers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t let him step up and we can\u2019t let him get to his right, our left,\u201d Dunbar stressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 In one of the practice shots, backup C Ryan McCollum was working with QB Russell Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re so afraid of the go-balls and all that stuff. When you run off the ball like that, you create all that space for you,\u201d Wilson told WR George Pickens on the side during practice.<\/p>\n<p>I assume that was noting how much space Pickens can create on slants, curls, and underneath routes by threatening vertical.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The show cut to the Bengals and ex-Steelers CB Mike Hilton, who said he knows that Wilson always looks for Pickens as his first read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c3rd and 1, Mike Tomlin don\u2019t care,\u201d Hilton said. \u201cHe won\u2019t want the first. He wants to flip the field, he wants the momentum,\u201d Hilton said, having spent years being coached by Tomlin.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The cameras then cut to a shot of Danny Smith meeting with Tomlin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re not a big fake team. But anybody gets desperate will do crazy shit,\u201d Smith told Tomlin, who agreed.<\/p>\n<p>At 4-7 and needing a win, you have to expect and prepare for teams to pull out trickery. The Bengals didn\u2019t but it was a salient point.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The cameras cut back to Tomlin meeting stressing the importance of facing RB Chase Brown for essentially the first time. Brown became the lead runner after Joe Mixon was traded and Zach Moss got hurt. Here was the PowerPoint slide for that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks2.jpg\" data-slb-active=\"1\" data-slb-asset=\"1150950240\" data-slb-internal=\"0\" data-slb-group=\"772017\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-772121\" alt=\"\" width=\"697\" height=\"706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks2.jpg 775w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks2-296x300.jpg 296w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks2-768x778.jpg 768w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks2-80x80.jpg 80w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" src=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks2.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-772121\" src=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"697\" height=\"706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks2.jpg 775w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks2-296x300.jpg 296w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks2-768x778.jpg 768w, https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/HardKnocks2-80x80.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe might not know your name today,\u201d Tomlin told the defense. \u201cHe better know your name on Monday morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Tomlin noted that Alex Highsmith\u2019s success against then-Bengals LT Jonah Williams compelled the team to sign high-prized free agent Orlando Brown Jr.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2022, Alex Highsmith walked the absolute dog on this dude,\u201d referring to Williams.

Happy Thanksgiving. I\u2019d like to open my home up to anyone and everyone in here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday night in a hotel in Cincinnati, second-year NT Keeanu Benton briefly spoke in front of the defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, I had a bad week,\u201d he said. \u201cMentally, physically. I was down. This morning, driving in, just feeling, what the hell I am coming here to do today is what I\u2019ve been dreaming of my whole life. There\u2019s no way you can mad out there tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>We know Benton didn\u2019t play the final drive of the Browns\u2019 loss for unknown reasons and then showed up on the injury report on Thursday with a hip injury.<\/p>\n<p>He ended it by saying \u201clet\u2019s kick these boy\u2019s ass\u201d as the group laughed and cheered.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 To gameday. After QB Russell Wilson hit WR George Pickens for a 17-yard touchdown, Wilson went to the bench and high-fived each of the starting offensive linemen. \u201cGreat communication, Hell of a job,\u201d he repeated to the group.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 During one timeout, Wilson brought the group together and started offering motivation and overall thoughts in the huddle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love when you start to tell us the play and go straight into a motivational speech,\u201d someone \u2013 I believe OT Broderick Jones \u2013 joked with Wilson.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Walking to the locker room at half, Tomlin and Heyward had a brief conversation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe stop this back [RB Chase Brown] and we stop [QB Joe Burrow\u2019s] ass from running up in the pocket, it don\u2019t matter what our offense does. Have that mindset and have your group ready to go,\u201d Tomlin told him.<\/p>\n<p>Heyward replied, \u201cI gotcha.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tomlin and Heyward also walk off the field together after every road win.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Below appears to be LB Cole Holcomb, travelling with the team despite still on Reserve\/PUP with his severe knee injury a year ago. A nice way to keep him engaged.

It\u2019s amazing how efficient it is. Like a hitch [route].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Wilson was ecstatic after throwing his scramble drill TD to TE Pat Freiermuth. He quickly found and pointed out at Mike Tomlin, who pointed back.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 TE Connor Heyward slapping his chest and exclaiming \u201cI want it!\u201d as he walked out for the onside kick. He recovered it to help Pittsburgh close out the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Post-game, Mike Tomlin acknowledged a \u201cDouglas\u201d on the Bengals\u2019 side. That is Doug Rosfield, the Bengals Chief of Coaching Staff. An Ohio native, Rosfield coached in the Cincinnati area in high school and also spent a few years last decade with the Cincinnati Bearcats, where Mike Tomlin briefly coached from 1999-2000.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Najee Harris ran up to Bengals WR Ja\u2019Marr Chase before Chase got into the tunnel to embrace him and say good game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWalk over your trap, take over your trap,\u201d Tomlin said in the locker room after the game, the Steelers\u2019 mantra when they win on the road. CB Donte Jackson said the same thing in the post-game celebration.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Finally, this was a\u00a0<em>very\u00a0<\/em>Steelers-centric episode. By my rough count, about 30 minutes of this 54-minute episode featured Pittsburgh. It helped they were playing a divisional matchup and the show was essentially edited before the Browns could play the Denver Broncos Monday night (the final shot of the standings hadn\u2019t even updated their record to 3-9) but it\u2019s clear the director was anxious to show Pittsburgh having never had them on Hard Knocks before.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, there was minimal air time dedicated to the Ravens and Browns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/steelersdepot.com\/2024\/12\/kozora-all-the-details-i-noticed-during-hard-knocks-episode-1\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mini-series I\u2019ll be writing about following each episode of HBO\u2019s Hard Knocks featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the AFC North.
