Coach Sean McDermott on linebacker T.J. Watt:
“A lot of respect. Comes from a great lineage of great pass rushers and football players. Tough. High energy. Plays with a high motor. Intense.<\/p>\n
“He’s not the only one they have. They have three outside that do well together and then they have a couple guys on the inside with (Cameron) Heyward there. And they blitz well from the linebacker position.<\/p>\n
“So, they bring it from a lot of different areas, and it starts with that front.”<\/p>\n
Quarterback Josh Allen on the challenge the Steelers defense and T.J. Watt present:
“They’ve got a bunch of guys on their front who can go. Obviously, you’ve got to know where No. 90 is at. Seems like you turn on the tape and everybody is bringing four hands, chipping and bringing a guard. They’re doing whatever they can to not let him disrupt the game as much as you can.<\/p>\n
“Then you leave yourself susceptible to the other guys that they’ve got. They fly around. Their back end had been making some plays.<\/p>\n
“I think Patrick Queen is one of the best linebackers in the game. They’re a really good unit. Obviously, led by their defensive line and their defensive front.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got to be ready for whatever they throw at us and put together a good game plan.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coach Sean McDermott on linebacker T.J.
