Obviously, we're a little bit of jitters.

0:05.0

I was excited, nervous to be out there.

0:07.0

Just wanted to not let my guys down.

0:10.0

I thought that guys brought energy.

0:12.0

I thought we could have played better.

0:14.0

There was some sloppiness that's kind of reflective of where we are,

0:17.0

and probably a lot of us at this stage, first time in the stadium. I'm not really too concerned about the stats. You can have credit, what credit is due. They have a great defense, especially the defense's front. And they made some plays, and we weren't able to win the game today. All right, guys, I appreciate you. I was talking with the team a little bit afterwards, make sure I check on every player. So I'm sometimes slow out of the locker. So I appreciate your patience.

Joe Judge is a little slow out of the gates. His first game is head coach to the New York

0:50.1

football Giants. Look, got a tough draw. He doesn't make the schedule. They play the Steelers

0:55.4

once every four years. They got to play them last night to start this season with no fans present.

1:03.0

So, hey, all things considered, I think it went better than it could have for Joe Judge. Yes,

1:50.5

You know, I mean, and thanks. Oh, yeah. Joe Judge, he must have been like, oh, great, I get to play Pittsburgh opening week.

1:56.5

You know, we have offensive line issues. I got a rookie left left tackle i got a second year quarterback i got
