carries doubt gap job mind miss presence stay thinking
It's not like we're out there thinking about it, but there's not a doubt in my mind that we miss Antonio. We miss his presence on the field, everything about him, the way he carries himself. But I don't think anybody's out there thinking, 'Oh, Antonio's not here, we can't get it done.' We have one job to do most times, one gap to cover. You've just got to stay in your gap and do your job and not think about anything else.

football good match might pittsburgh win
Pittsburgh's going to win and I think it's going to be pretty bad. I think Pittsburgh might win by 10 or 14 points. Seattle's a good football team, but I just don't think they'll be able to match up.
