Head coach Mike Tomlin discusses the task at hand for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Transcript
00:00 One of the challenges is defensive communication.
00:03 Our home game venue is an asset to us in that regard, but
00:07 it does present some challenges from a defensive communication perspective.
00:10 And so that's one of our little agendas, if you will, in preparation for
00:15 this game, making sure that we respect that component.
00:18 We get one opportunity in the preseason to play at home.
00:21 And so defensive communication in the midst of that is gonna be big for us.
00:26 Also just familiarizing ourselves with the itinerary on a home game schedule,
00:31 hotel, things of that nature, dealing with traffic.
00:35 There's a lot of new stealers, and so we don't take any of those things for granted.
00:39 We need that exposure.
00:41 They'd be interested to watch the group push through it and
00:45 how they remain focused on what's really important, ultimately,
00:48 their play in the midst of all of that.
00:51 Man, it's a reasonable opportunity to expect us to be better in all areas.
00:56 Because of last week's exposure, not only last week's exposure, but
01:00 last week's film study.
01:02 And then adjustments in terms of what we focused on this weekend in practice,
01:07 some things that we need to do better individually and
01:10 collectively will highlight our agenda.
01:12 In enough to allow these guys to show what they're capable of and
01:17 their ability to get better in designated areas and improve.
