close
We've got a very close team. Jerome has been an inspiration to us all year.
became city pirates pittsburgh team winning
What the team did in the 1970s was kind of put Pittsburgh on the map. It became a city of champions, and you had the Pirates winning and the Penguins winning.
defensive jack
We've all had heroes, and I know Jack Lambert was for me because I was a defensive guy.

When you turn the football over four times and are minus-3 in the giveaway-takeaway ratio, you aren't going to win many football games,
following
We are all kind of following his lead.
We're being smart. He doesn't need a lot of reps.
running rush situation
With the situation we have at running back, we don't have to rush to get him back,
england last late normal stick
We'll stick to our normal schedule, a lot like (the) New England (Patriots) did last week. We'll get out there late Saturday, and we'll play Sunday. I don't think it will have much of an effect.

We used to get them in the third and fourth round because no one else was looking for that guy. We didn't have to take them that high. Now those guys are getting drafted higher because a lot more teams are looking for them. If you wait, someone else is going to grab him before you do.

defensive harder line offensive played time

special
We didn't play well enough offensively and defensively, but I can't say enough about our special teams.
deal element good handling job last louder noise question rca time understand walked
We didn't do a very good job of handling the noise element the last time we went there. I would like to think that having been there once, you know what to expect. When we walked out of the RCA Dome, there was no question that it was louder than we anticipated going in. Now we understand what it is going to be like and we have to deal with it.
area bit brought depleted draft pieces
We're not going into the draft with any one area of need, and I think that was very important. And so we pretty much brought a lot of the pieces back. The only place we're a little bit depleted right now is at receiver.
