fit planning plays run start strength
We haven't run a lot of plays that fit me getting out of the pocket, ... Once we start game-planning, that's to our strength and our advantage.
bring defense few guys hard identify move people plays similar
No one plays a similar defense to what we play. I think our guys move around so much it's hard to identify who people are. I think with (the Texans), they kind of show you what they have and then they'll bring a few things off of it.
board joey listen plays
That's Joey being Joey. It's fun. I want to listen too. He can give them all the 'bulletin board material' he wants. It's going to come down to who makes the plays on Sunday.
couple hard improve plays
There wasn't much to it. A couple of plays and it was pretty much over with. There are a lot of things we need to improve on, but it's hard to tell when you're only out there so long.
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.
defense helps kept ours plays recipe throw
It helps when your defense plays as well as ours did. Throw two picks, that's a recipe for disaster. But the defense kept making plays.
clicking figure plays practice time worried
I'm not worried about it. I feel comfortable with where we're at. We're not clicking on all cylinders, but we're clicking on most cylinders. That's why this is the preseason. This is time for us to practice and figure out what we need to do to make the plays when it counts.
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.
cannot change obviously tough
It was tough because obviously we did not win, but we cannot change that,
absolutely awesome family teammates win
It was absolutely awesome to come up here and win one for Jerome. To win for the Rooney family and for our teammates and all our fans.
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.
game running strength
The running game is the strength of our offense,
defense fun mistakes played playing watching
Our defense is all over the place, and it's so much fun watching them play. Offensively, we haven't played mistake-free football, but we've been playing well and we're going to have to keep doing that if we want to go to where we want to go.
games happens row starts thinking three week win
We like to think so. But we're not going to say we can go three games in a row because we want to go one game in a row. It starts this week at home. Nothing happens if we don't win this game (against Detroit). We're not thinking about anything else.
