Press Pass: Fields, Heyward, Johnston, Freiermuth, Frazier on loss to Bills | Pittsburgh Steelers

Justin how would you evaluate this o line tonight and how they kind of perform tonight I mean yeah I mean I think you know we all know they know that uh we have to be better up front and uh you know coach team made made that Sav after the game so um like I said there's room for all of us to be better me included so um we just going to get get back to work and um get better obviously we didn't really expect you to be out there this entire game uh did you when was that decision kind of made to keep you out there it wasn't I but I felt the FL the game I knew I was going to stay in there um I think we were you know putting together long drives and um you know we wanted to I feel like you know Coach T wanted to work on our situational ball on fourth down so um I love that you know decision by him and and stuff like that so um yeah was it a hope or a desire for you to show off your legs more tonight or is that all improvisational in the moment I mean I'm just playing football out there you know at the end of the day if I got to do if I got to run a little bit more then that's what I have to do but I mean I don't go in the game saying that I'm going to have to run a lot more show off my legs more I just you know reacting out there playing football you know Buffalo they won the game but um I think we beat ourselves a lot out there uh special te was better than last week um obviously cam did a good job did a good job with coverage um and I think we did a good job with the new kickoff and all those types but we need to win All Phases uh not just offense or defense but all three you know it's NFL and uh you know coach always talks about winning two out of three but um we should be able to you know win all three cuz you know uh we hold up our end we can do that and we'll be good how much as a punter the mental part of the game is just being comfortable with your surroundings being comfortable with this team and not having to worry about anything else I guess Beyond just putting your foot to the wall no it's great you know I mean it's an incredible organization Danny Smith does an incredible job uh and coach Tom as well so um you mean they put you in the best spot to go out there and perform so um you just got to keep it rolling now so you hear the fans at all for you enjoy some of those no just yeah I mean just trying to do your job on the yes you feel like some of like the bouncing around that you guys have had with injuries and stuff might have gotten in the way of you guys just getting on the Good Foot to start start off today I mean I mean maybe a little bit but you know at the end of the day you know our jobs come out here and perform and and compete and and win and know we didn't get that done today but obviously we got to grow and watch the film and um you know September 8th is when it really matter so we have to be ready for that I know that you weren't in the game when Justin went in in the second half but what kind of extra versatility does he bring the offense when he can get out and and run and kind of buy some time with his legs like you said you know he buys time with his legs and um obviously you know that's beneficial for the offense um you know we're off track obviously you know he has that Mobility Factor um you know but I think Russ has that too so I'm just going to continue to to grow as an offense your overall takeway on your performance your performance not just individually but also collectively in the line yeah um just felt good to be out there um you know obviously we got to be better but um what you say Zach I think that was the longest amounted the most amounted time you played in a game just how would you assess how you did overall um I'm I'm always going to be hard on myself uh definitely had some good plays and definitely had some things I need to clean up what do you feel was like you got to work with both quarterbacks extensively how do you felt that one with yeah I think I think everything went well the communication was smooth um all the Snaps are smooth seeq was that a focus going into this yeah definitely I mean that's definitely goals be 100% on that
