00:00 We're gonna rule out JT and Brayden Smith, we're not playing the game.
00:03 That right when you guys are.
00:05 >> It's been a tough year for Brayden in particular.
00:11 Just what, how's he dealt with the kind of ups and downs he's had this year and
00:15 just, is there any long term concern about him physically or?
00:18 >> Yeah, no, he's progressing well.
00:21 Obviously he's had some ups and downs with injuries this year.
00:25 But he's battling, he's been rehabbing and he's getting back into form.
00:29 So, let's see.
00:31 >> You expect Juju to play on Saturday?
00:33 >> Yeah.
00:34 >> Yeah. >> Does he look good practice?
00:36 >> Looks good.
00:37 >> What would that mean for your secondary to get him back?
00:41 Obviously, when he did before the injury.
00:43 >> Yeah, no, it's big to get a guy like that back.
00:45 Again, long range guy, good cover skills,
00:49 physical with wide receivers, which we like obviously.
00:53 But it's good to have him back.
00:54 He's been grinding away to get back and excited to have him back.
00:58 >> The last time, the first game he played, I think it was Baltimore maybe,
01:01 he made big play in that game.
01:03 And I imagine that does a lot for confidence for a rookie.
01:08 Are those moments important for rookies?
01:10 And he hasn't been able to have many of them, obviously.
01:12 >> Heck yeah, no question about it.
01:13 When you make plays as a rookie, obviously your confidence builds.
01:17 That was a big play he made in the Baltimore game and get him back.
01:21 Go back out there and
01:21 play with that same type of confidence that he was playing with.
01:24 >> Why has Pittsburgh had so much success running the ball recently?
01:27 Is there anything you can kind of point to there?
01:29 >> I think they do a good job up front.
01:31 I've had some crossover with their offensive line coach.
01:35 I think he does a heck of a job with those guys.
01:37 I think they've always had a history of running the football really well.
01:41 The two backs are really good players.
01:43 They see it, they got good balance.
01:45 They see the holes, they see the creases, they hit them.
01:47 And they do a good job up front, so we gotta be ready to roll.
