We've identified some guys we may be interested in if they become available. |
We've just got to play smarter. If we play smarter football, then we'll give ourselves a chance to win some games. |
Well, I thought about the possibility of asking those guys to not block at all so Dennis could make someone miss on his own. When we try to block, that's when we get penalties. |
Well, we're just not good enough within the division overall. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are the measuring stick. They're playoff teams you're competing with, and we're not there yet. |
Wellington knew the business, ... He knew football in and out. He knew good coaches and bad coaches, good players and bad players, and he always had an affection for coaches and players. |
What I have to try to do is get guys to do their job to the best of their ability and make good choices while they're doing that. You have to make good choices while you're out there. Then, if you find out a guy cannot make good choices, you need to try to replace him. |
What we need is some pass rush production. Whether that's a pass rusher or some exotic new schemes, which probably we're not going to have those. So we're going to try to get us a pass-rush rusher to help us improve our sack production. |
What we'll do is that we'll look at it [the quarterback position], and we're looking at everything, |
What we're not able to get done in free agency we'll get done in the draft. |
When everyone else was going 4-3 and saying they had to get big pass rushers on the field, the Steelers said, 'This is what we do. We recruit guys that fit our system.' They've been successful at it. You have to take your hat off to them. I have a lot of respect for them. |
When that happens I think the tempo of practice is better because guys are running plays that they know. Hopefully, we can improve some of the things we are doing. |
When we get the results on that, we'll let you know. |
When you do that you've got to look at production, you've got to look at the guy, the quarterback, look at the receivers. We're going to do all of that. |
When you have a performance like we had, everything needs work, ... We have to go back and re-emphasize fundamentals and try to get good at the basics. We'll go back and look at this offense. When you have trouble, you identify what the problems are and try to fix them. |
When you see guys like that get jobs, ... there is hope. |
