We just tried to limit Ben's access this week. You'll all have plenty of chances to talk to him.
chance classic example inside knows night ran run
The run he made the other night was a classic example of being patient. It was an inside run that he ran inside. But when he has a chance to get outside, he knows what he has.
chance good
There's a good chance he'll be able to participate.
chance confidence control high margin opportunity playing urgency win
We've got to play better than we're playing. There's no margin for error. They're playing with a lot of confidence and at a high level. ... But the opportunity is right there. If you have the opportunity to win this game, you have a chance to control a lot of your destiny. But we have to play a lot better than we are right now and a sense of urgency to get there.
chance girls grew house love parents raise since special unique
I love coaching, and I love being in Pittsburgh, ... When you get a chance to come back to the place you grew up, there's something special about that. I grew up here, my parents still live here, and I've been able to raise my girls here. We've been in the same house since 1992, and that's unique in our business.
available chance good practice week
We thought it was a lot like Jerome's. I think (Maddox) is going to practice (Wednesday). There's a good chance he'll be available this week as well.

ask backs ball certain chance curtail earned express front good gotten hit indeed offense opportunity patient people plays rather run runners running watch willie within
We don't ask people to run differently, ... Runners are runners. I never try to curtail a runner. Our offense has got enough plays that within the running play a ball carrier has a chance to express his ability. I think Willie has gotten more comfortable with the plays we've run. He's had a chance to watch some pretty good backs in front of him be patient on certain plays, hit it on certain plays. I think he's earned this opportunity if indeed Jerome can't go. I'm not concerned; I'm rather excited.
ask chance curtail express gotten offense people plays run runners running tried willie within
We don't ask people to run differently. I mean, runners are runners. I've never tried to curtail a runner. Our offense has got enough plays that, within the running play, a ballcarrier has a chance to express his abilities. I think Willie has gotten more comfortable with the plays we've run.
chance field goals holding rather win
It's a first. But we were holding them to field goals rather than touchdowns and got a chance to win it in the end.
against broke buffalo chance defense football national near ran rested team top week willie yards
It's all speed; that's the one thing you see in Willie Parker. Willie made our football team because he flashed and he got a chance to play in Week 16 against Buffalo and showed something. We had rested some linemen and he ran against a defense that that was near the top of the National Football League. He got over 100 yards and broke a run.
chance earlier maybe next
They got a chance to see that one earlier in the season, and maybe they'll get to see it next year.
chance outside
There's an outside chance he (Bettis) will play in the first game.
advantage chance continue drive earlier good hopefully learn
I thought we had a chance earlier in that drive to do that. Hopefully that?s something we?ll learn from and continue to read and take advantage of with Quincy back there. We thought that was a good match-up.
