00:00Here's the Steelers now. We mentioned earlier this Derek Harmon, the defensive tackle from Oregon,

00:05monster kid. Everyone thought the Steelers were going to go quarterback. No, no, no, no, no.

00:10Here's Mike Tomlin on Harmon having that Steeler DNA. You know, like Omar said, man,

00:16he has Steeler DNA. For us, man, it starts inside and up front. And this is a guy that's capable of

00:22dominating that space versus the run and the pass. And so we're really excited about having

00:27him. As Omar mentioned, man, we weren't interested in considering trading away from him and really

00:33excited about getting him in here and getting started. Listen, I am a firm believer without

00:40a doubt. If you look at the Steelers history, it's real simple. They won their first four

00:47Super Bowls in six years and they won inside in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

00:53I mean, you could go on and on. Joe Green, Elsie Greenwood, Ham. It goes on and on. Lambert,

01:01they on the front line Webster. You could I could sit here all day and they won in the trenches.

01:09I still believe that NFL teams win Super Bowls in the trenches and it starts up front on both sides

01:16of the ball. And if you get a guy that size that eats quarterbacks, eats running backs, eats tight ends

01:23can move his fleet of foot and has that kind of power, shorter long arm, he can do it. He can go

01:31up in your face and throw you down on the ground. He can whip by you and smack you in the head and kill

01:37your quarterback. This guy is a violent predator. He's a violent predator. He was the number two defensive

01:44tackle in the entire draft. And they got him over that hack ass. Shador Sanders and all of that

01:51bullshack. I'll take that kid six ways till Sunday. Cam Hayward's career is ending. His days are numbered.

02:00And now the future at defensive tackle is right there. And he is a mother for Allah. That was a

02:07great draft pick. And all the people that don't think it was, you're all a bunch of idiots. That kid

02:11can play football. And, and these league games in the NFL are one right there, right? Everything

02:17you want to know why Barkley did what he did this year in Philly and they want to ring. It all starts

02:25up front. Here's another one for you. When's the last time someone stopped them from their little

02:30tush push fantasy from converting? All they do is push people around. You went in the trenches,

02:36you went in the NFL. It's that simple. And that's all, that's been a calling card for the Steelers

02:42forever, even before Tomlin was there. And you know, that Tomlin wants to have, uh, those big

02:47guys up front, uh, making a big present.
