last
At that point, the last thing I thought we would do is fumble with Jerome Bettis.
frame speculate time until
At this point, we don't know any kind of diagnosis. I'm not going to speculate or give you any kind of time frame until we get some kind of information.
reflection season
At this point, it's not about the reflection on what we've accomplished. I'm not into too much reflection. You can do that when the season is over.
best football good responding situations team
Did we play our best game? No. But when you're a good football team you don't have to play your best game, you just keep responding to the situations that come up.
certainly effort sync
Disappointed in the effort tonight, certainly offensively. We are not in sync on offence, and that was evident.
ball last thinking
You give the ball to Jerome Bettis, and a fumble is the last thing you're thinking about.
bit came excellent game last shape weight
There was a little apprehension. But he came in excellent shape with his weight down. He was a little bit better in the last game than the first game and I think he's getting better each day.
great process view
There's a great process here. It's a time-tested process. It's a culmination of a lot of people's view points.
change good ran reason
There's a good chance. He ran very well. I see no reason to make a change at this point.
chance good
There's a good chance he'll be able to participate.
adverse allowing composure crossed emotional fine half happened last level line lose lost move second settled
There's a fine line between going in there and being emotional and allowing it to have an adverse effect, which I think happened to us last week. We settled down more in the second half of that game, but we lost our composure at times. I don't want us to lose our emotion, but we can't lose our composure. There's a fine line and at times we kind of crossed that, but we have to play with that same emotion, that same level of desperation or else we are not going to move on.
certainly excitement faced last time
There's going to be a lot of excitement in their stadium. We're certainly going to have to play better than the last time we faced them.
best defensive expect future hard integral question success worked worried
There's no question that he's the best there is when he's healthy. He was an integral part of our defensive success before the injury, and we expect him to be part of the future as well. He has worked very hard to come back, so we're not worried about him at all.
change reason
I see no reason to make a change at this point.
