I'm doing, I'm like, weren't you always feeling like yourself? Like where's all this energy coming from, man?

Honestly, it starts in our LB room.

We have a, we're, we're actually really tight.

Um, You know, in the years past, not to say that we weren't tight, but I feel like there was, you know, maybe a little more selfishness within the rooms and things.

But, you know, we were really tight as an LB unit.

And just they kind of empowered me in a sense, you know, just to go play ball.

And then also just PG, his schematics, the way he coaches it.

Faster than Joey Porter Jr. Joey knows that, too.

Talk to us about that play and what it was like with those fans in Croke Park.

It was really cool, just the fans in general.

Uh, we kinda joke about it, but when, when, when you play a game over here, like, they cheer at certain times, you know.

If, if your team does well, they cheer.

But over there, they were just cheering the whole time, so that was, that, that was different, but it was really cool.

And um, I mean, that play is just kind of the culture that we have built.

Um, I think if anybody else was in that position, they'd have done the exact same thing.

Peyton, how are you using last season as fuel to make this year your best yet?

So what parts has mainly started to slow down for you coming into this year in the league?

I would say especially this year, um, well, my rook- You know, I mean, y'all know how it is.

Like, my rookie year I came in and I was playing, and it was more so just not, about not making mistakes.

Mm

... "if I do th-" You know, I'm just gonna be playing ball.

And, um, honestly, like, used to I would line up, I would figure out a, my, my assignment, and I'd be in my gap, I'd do my thing.

Now, now I line up, I get the call, see the formation-

Mm-hmm

...

if I do th- you know, I'm just gonna be playing ball and, um, honestly, like, used to I would line up, I would figure out a, my, my assignment and I'd be in my gap, I'd do my thing.

Now, now I line up, I get the call, see the formation-

When, when, when they talk about, uh, you and your, uh, your career as a, as a Pittsburgh Steeler linebacker, what, what, what do you want them saying?

My goal is to be, is to be the best, you know? I want, I wanna be talked about as one of the best.

Um, obviously, I mean, great teammate and all that, but, you know, I want, I want my play to, to speak for itself.

Mm-hmm

... "If I do th-" You know, I'm just gonna be playing ball and, um, honestly, like used to I would line up, I would figure out a, my, my assignment and I'd be in my gap, I'd do my thing.
