soon
As soon as they make some arrangements, he'll know and I'll know. We have to see. That's the first thing.
along bit coaches happen hard hoped players realize sooner
I did realize how hard it was. I think coaches realize it a little bit sooner than players do. I had hoped that we would have been able to do it a little sooner than we have done it, but you know things happen along the way.
achieve balance creates defense focus problems soon time
I think any time you can achieve some balance on offense, it creates problems for the defense. As soon as you become one-dimensional, then any defense can focus in and get you stopped.
add ask certainly feels fit great handle motions offense perfect point ready season soon takes time work
He certainly had a great season and I think he is the perfect fit for what we ask the quarterback to do. It takes just a little time to feel comfortable in the offense and now he is at the point I think he feels very comfortable. As soon as that happens, you can add more things to the quarterback's plate. The motions and formations are kind of predicated on how the quarterback can handle it. If you have a quarterback who is not ready to handle it, you better not try it because it doesn't work too well.
catch good players plays prepared
The plays were good plays, and I think we prepared properly. But really it's about the players making plays and making the catch and blocking. And when they do that, you look pretty good as a signal-caller.
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.
counts credit score statistic team tough
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.
stand supposed
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.
Those (turnovers) typically come in bunches and those are real contagious.
decided otherwise quiet worse
To get this thing to quiet down we all just decided he has to not practice, not play, ... Otherwise it's one of those nagging things that could get worse if you don't do it.
