blown both great stay worth
Yeah, I think it has been blown out of proportion. I'm going to stay away from it. Both have great '12th men,' and I don't think it is worth all the trouble.
blocking both either good guards hard pass run tremendous
Usually, guards are either really good run blocking or pass blocking. He does both so well. It's kind of hard to get after him because he's such a tremendous athlete.
great nobody prove respect talks today
We do have a great offense, but we also have a great defense. Nobody talks about us. But respect is earned, not given, so today we just had to go out and prove it.
creator defense guys running time wants
At a time like this you really see how really important he is to our defense. He's the creator and he's got all the guys he wants in here. With him gone, it's been a little different. But we're still running the defenses he calls.
obvious offense past
That's just one way to show how much we've come together. It wasn't always like that in past seasons. It was obvious the offense always jelled really well. But defensively, we were never really on the same page.
I wouldn't say he was rattled, but he started to get out of rhythm.
defense face offensive people prove saying slap teams tv watching weakest
I was watching TV and they were saying that of all the teams in the playoffs, we had the weakest defense out of all of them. I think that's kind of a slap in the face to us, and go out and prove to people we're not just an offensive team.
comments stay tries watches work
He tries to stay away. But he watches the film and always makes comments on things you need to work on. He's still very much a part of what we do.
basically feet good job last
He's basically the same guy. He has good feet on him. He did a really good job last year.
chuck difference everybody grant stuff team trying worry year
Chuck and Grant really worry about stuff like that because they're team guys, and it's working out really well for everybody now. I'm not trying to be selfish, but the difference this year is everybody's really working together.
defense faces hurt knew turn
In years past, that's what has hurt us: our defense. We pretty much had all new faces on defense (in 2005), so you never knew how things would turn out. But we've done pretty well.
both hopefully nobody people prove taking talking talks
I'm not taking anything away from the Steelers' defense, but hopefully now people will be talking about both of our defenses. Nobody talks about us, so we have to go out and prove it every week.
caught fans man meant middle
I don't really want to get caught in the middle of it. It's something that meant a lot to me when I was down there at A&M. The 12th Man is huge. The fans are just unbelievable. Same thing in Seattle.
amazing exciting load sack takes
He's an amazing athlete. It's always exciting to get a sack on him. It's really rewarding, and it takes a load off your shoulders.
