Starting fast a key: As Ben Roethlisberger indicated on Wednesday morning, Steelers players, mainly on offense, held a 'players only' meeting just to talk. It wasn't a panic meeting, but rather a time to talk as the playoffs are on the horizon.
It was a meeting that went over well with everyone, including receiver JuJu Smith Schuster.
"It was mainly offense…running backs, tight ends, quarterbacks, wide receivers," said Smith-Schuster. "We have to hold each other accountable. I think these next two games we have to show ourselves what we can do on offense. I think our defense has been playing well, a good enough job to stop them. We start slow every game and aren't physical. That is what Ben told us. We will stick together. Times like this we have to become closer as a family."
Smith-Schuster said he wants to do his part to help the team recover from the three-game losing streak, and that means continuing to do whatever is asked in the offense.
"If I can make more plays for my team, I would," said Smith-Schuster. "I am just doing what I am told. Whether it's blocking, running, catching the ball. I just have to make the best of it. We have guys who can make plays. I think we have to come together as a family and keep playing."
There is something else Smith-Schuster is doing. And that is stopping dancing on the opposing team's logo pregame and filming it for his TikTok account. He said he didn't do it with any disrespect intended, and after learning Coach Mike Tomlin and his teammates have been asked about it, he said he is going to stop doing it.
"For me, I was dancing when we were undefeated," said Smith-Schuster. "I was dancing when we lost our three games. I am not going to change the person I am. It's getting to the point where my teammates are being asked this question, my coach is being asked this question. I saw it more, no disrespect, just for my fans. I am big on social media, the positive. Doing stuff like that you get the positive and the negative. For the betterment of myself and my teammates, I am going to stop dancing on logos.
"I don't want to be a distraction to anybody. If it's getting to the point where you are asking my teammates and coaches, there is no point."
