Mike, one of the things that Aaron mentioned after the game was that he was grateful that you and the organization let him be himself completely.

Why is it important for you to let a player be themselves instead of trying to fit them into a role or into a box?

Something that when you're recruiting him in the free agency that you said to him there that, hey, if you come here, we're going to let you be you.

I wasn't listening at the time.

I was listening on the Steelers' YouTube page, but I did click it on right when it ended because kind of like a coach...

If I'm able to, I want to do a little pre-scouting of the segment so I wasn't taken aback by this coach ranking exercise.

Mine was similar because it's the start of the playoffs.

I looked at myself, uh, at my criteria as, okay, you give me 52 other random guys around the league.

Who do I want as my quarterback to go into a playoff run?

Um,

Let's say we're the number one seed and we've got a bye in the first round or whatever.

So that's what I kind of use, not going on career resume or anything like that.

Just right now, today, who I feel the best about playing good football in this postseason.

I think that's a little different, but okay, limits.

Mary Mike Tallman of you, you don't want a two-score or three-score lead going into the fourth quarter.

You'd prefer to have the game come down to the final seconds.

Josh Allen.

And I assume we all will unless Joe volts Bo Nix ahead of him here.

Justin Herbert.

Yeah, I mean, my criteria being what it is, it still has to be informed, I think, by what we've actually seen from these guys over the years.
