With a “popcorn” reference during his Thursday media session, Joe Schobert now feels like a true Pittsburgh Steeler. Schobert used the phrase to describe the need for the defense to eliminate the occasional hiccups that turn into big plays.
“I think we’re playing well,” Schobert told reporters in audio provided by the team. “We just have to execute full 60 minutes better. There’s there’s just a couple of times throughout the game at various spots on the defense, the linebackers in the defensive backs where there’s, as Coach T says, a popcorn mistake. It’s a ‘my bad, popcorn my bad,’ where one guy just has a brain fart on one play.
