against ball bears defense pittsburgh run saw supposed
We saw something in the Bears defense that made us think we could run the ball against them. We wanted to get back to what the Pittsburgh Steelers are supposed to do.
ball credit seem
They are an opportunistic team. They make a lot of plays, they always seem to be around the ball. The ball bounces their way a lot, and that is a credit to them.
ball block building coming knew throw
We knew coming in that we wanted to throw the ball more, ... It's like a building block for things that we are going to have to be able to do down the road.
ball good reads seems special
It seems like he can make all the reads before the ball is even snapped. It's like he's got some special powers, that's how good he is,
ball close decide grabbed knew leg luckily reaction saw slow sudden turned watch
I turned to watch him get in the end zone. All of a sudden I see the ball just go flying. My first reaction is just to go get it, but I knew I wasn't going to get there in time, so then it's let's try and slow him down. I think I turned him enough times that he got close to me and he couldn't decide which way to go, so now I just saw his leg and grabbed it, and luckily he went down.
ball completed exactly field goal inside pass passes range
We did exactly what we wanted to on that drive, ... We used the pass to get inside of the 50 and then completed two more passes to get into field goal range and ran the ball well enough to make (Baltimore) use their timeouts.
games play balls
Usually when we lose a game is because we turn the ball over or not play well enough and usually it is the turnover thing. We have to take care of the ball. It is starts with me and not turning it over.
ball pass screen threw
I threw the ball so hard. You would have thought I threw a little screen pass to him.
ball feels good plan promise promised worked
We worked a plan and it worked. The ball feels good in my hand. I made a promise to 'The Bus'. I promised him I would get him back to Detroit. We're going and I'm so happy.
along ball coming healed hopefully normally painful quite spin throws
There are still some throws it's still painful with and I don't quite have the zip I normally do or the spin on the ball but it's coming along and hopefully we'll get it healed up soon.
balls criticism knocking mph people plays wind winds
People need to realize, and I know they won't, that there was 45 mph winds out there, and it was tough, ... A lot of those plays were not (Tommy's) fault. The wind was knocking the balls down. There was no way he should have got the criticism he did.
balls four fulfill game glad promised promises
I promised him that I would get him four game balls. I'm glad that I could fulfill the promises that I made to him.
ball care chance deal problem supposed team turn
I have no problem with that because I want to come out and take care of the things I have to deal with. If you don't turn the ball over and you do the things you're supposed to do, you give your team a better chance of winning.
ball time
I'm disappointed I couldn't get Hines the ball more to get him 1,000 yards. To me, that kills me. That's my fault. Unfortunately, I can't go back in time and do it, or else I would.
