I told him to give me one more chance. |
I'm going to miss him. The Steelers are going to miss him. To send him off like this means the world to me. He's a great person. |
If that's what the birth certificate says, that's what he is. But he's playing older than that ... he's playing like he's been in the NFL a lot longer than two years. |
In our offense, the tight ends are generally one of us, |
It goes to personnel and schemes. We run counter blocking a little more than some teams do. It's a personal preference. |
It was fake 39 reverse pass. |
It's a loss. We are 2-1. What happened last year doesn't matter. We beat them once and lost to them once. We lost to them when it counted and that's all that matters about last year. |
It's always run-first. The last couple of games, people decided to stop the run so we passed the ball, got the lead and sat on the lead. You're not going to set the world on fire when you're up 17 points. Look at the situations: We were trying to kill the clock and trying to pound it out. |
It's back at the hotel. I didn't realize this was a formal occasion. |

It's definitely a focus. You have to be geared in to every play, every situation and still get off on the snap count right. That takes a great focus to be keyed into all of that. |
It's not what they do, it's how much they do. They're so used to doing different things, they can change their scheme up from week to week and make it difficult on you. |
Last year, dealing with the championship game and the 15-1 season and all the hype and everything that went with it has definitely helped him deal with what's going on now. He feels and looks like a six- or seven-year guy. |
My wife has some family just on their way there who lost their home in New Orleans and are going to stay in Houston for a while. |
People don't really expect that from us. They know we're trying to get the run going. Maybe they're thinking that a little too much. We're able to open up a little bit. |
