center command game heard seen time wrong
I've been in this game a long time and that's the first time I've seen that. The center heard the wrong command we use. He misunderstood the word.
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.

Right now the passing game is not in sync and that's the bottom line.
field game playing road wear white
We'll wear white because we're on the road. We're not playing at Heinz Field and, to me, that makes it a road game and we wear white jerseys for road games.
beat becomes fourth game longer ourselves striking within
That's the most important thing in my mind, to keep this game within striking distance, ... If we can do that and not beat ourselves and not give up some of the big plays, make them do things methodically and slowly, the longer we can keep this thing going into the fourth quarter. Then it becomes a play here or a play there.

Why was he not in the game in the last series? ... That's a legitimate question ... I wish I would have gotten him in the game in the second half.
game last point time wins
I think he has more wins than I do. He had the last one. The last game was kind of a big game. He was a junior, and I was a senior. We lost, 6-0, on a kickoff return. I was not on the kickoff-coverage team, I do point that out, the only time I was not on the field.

The quarterback position has been a little bit of a merry-go-round; we've had Charlie in there, Tommy in there, we've had Ben in there ... and, consequently, our passing game has suffered. There hasn't been that rhythm and being in sync.

We know about the Detroit offense with Calvin Johnson, the best receiver in the game. If this defense continues to play at this pace, they may have something to say about the NFC North.

We've got to play our A game in all three phases - offense, defense and special teams - or we're not going to win this Super Bowl.

I don't remember losing too many games coming off the bye. Of course, we've lost that next game a few times.
casey defense game good great guy middle rock sideline solid teams uses
Casey has been so solid for us. He's kind of the rock in the middle of that defense and he's a guy that uses up two blockers. He's got great balance, he can still go sideline to sideline and has a good feel for the game and understands what teams are doing to him.
barometer early game good
Certainly, ... I think it's a big game early in the season. It's a good barometer for us to see where we stand.
