bit country couple fortunate guys known number players positions pro star team though throughout truest
That team (Green Bay) was a little bit more of a star team. We had more than a couple guys that were really pretty well known at their positions throughout the country and went to Pro Bowls. Our team now, even though we are fortunate to have a number of players go to the Pro Bowl, is really a team in the truest sense of the word.
against athletes bit handled league material matter physical playing position rookie seeing time tough volumes
The tough thing in this league about playing the linebacker position is that as a rookie you are seeing many things for the first time and you are going against athletes that you didn't always play against when you were in college. The physical part of it is tough, but they have handled that beautifully. Then it was just a matter if they could handle the volumes of material that are expanded a little bit when you get into our league.

beat football great huge indy win year
The only thing I can think of (for the Steelers being favored) is that they beat Indianapolis, which was a huge win for them. Indy was having a great, great year and is a great football team. And that popped Pittsburgh, as it should.
believe football game guys situations smart team veteran year
When you look at the two teams, (the Patriots) have been in more situations like this and they are more experienced than we are. They are a very veteran and smart team, and that's our goal, to get there. What I have to do is get our guys to believe they can be there. I believe we're going to be a better football team at the end of the year than we are right now because each game our young guys get better.

The only statistic that counts is the score at the end of the game. Give credit to the Steelers. They're a tough team to play against.

We said, 'Just stand over there and do what you are supposed to do.'.
playing radar stay
This year, we're under the radar and we're playing well. I think we can stay that way for a while ? as long as we keep winning.
chances couple gain instead ran time yards
We had a couple of chances to gain some yards and we ran laterally instead of up the field. At the same time I want it to improve, and I have to see some improvement.
records
We're going for the record. We've set a lot of records this year. We're going for that one, too.
