Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott is looking to exact revenge against his original team, the Baltimore Ravens, when the AFC North rivals clash on Sunday. In the meantime, he's already taken shots at his other former team, telling the "Punch Line Podcast" Wednesday that the 2023 Miami Dolphins were "soft."

"I haven't been able to play against Baltimore the way I wanted to," Elliott said, anticipating Sunday's Ravens-Steelers showdown. "Because last year, I played for a team that was soft as f---. ... There were some guys who were tough, but the majority of the team, there was not mentally tough individuals. So, to be on a team with a full team of mentally tough guys ... this is going to be fun, man."

Whatever you gotta tell yourself to rationalize your performance on the field, I suppose.
"it was everyone else's fault"

Suddenly I’m hoping Baltimore blows out Pittsburgh worse than they did us last year

Holland responded saying unless he is willing to say names it's just talk.

IMO when players complain about the DC because he doesn't want them hanging out in the clubs during the season, then that signifies "softness".  Elliot may not be wrong.
