fit guys hat pass recruit respect saying successful
When everyone else was going 4-3 and saying they had to get big pass rushers on the field, the Steelers said, 'This is what we do. We recruit guys that fit our system.' They've been successful at it. You have to take your hat off to them. I have a lot of respect for them.
ben bit coverage fitting good initially injuries involved might overall pass running stuff system talk training understanding
I think Ben might be a little bit better than I initially thought he was in training camp, ... There was some talk about injuries with him and being better in pass coverage than the run. I think overall he's doing a pretty good job. Nothing great, but he is fitting into the system and understanding more about the defense. He's involved in coverage and the running game, so all of that stuff is good.
coach everybody felt fit football guy guys looking move needed people productive recognize trade
Some of that was by circumstance. We wanted to move a guy and they wanted two guys in a trade. That position, looking at it, wasn't as productive as it needed to be. I felt we had other people who fit better, so some of them had to leave. As football coaches, you like to think you can coach everybody and anybody, but sometimes you have to recognize that you can't.

Everyone sees his size. But I really like his technique. He knows how to use his hands and move his feet. He's played this system and proven himself in this season by playing at a high level.
blood bone cast determine fact flow good gotten healed maybe piece somewhat supply taking time wrist
The blood supply and blood flow into the wrist is somewhat minimal. He has a piece of a bone in there that was taking a long time (to heal). It's gotten better because of the fact that he's had a cast on. After the season, they're going to take a real good look at it and determine if they need to go in and do something or if it's healed enough to maybe he can do enough without the cast.

Not much has changed. If they're not good enough to practice today or tomorrow, then it will be tough for them (to play) on Sunday.

I'm not satisfied, by any shape of the imagination. In this business, you have to win football games. If I have a legacy in this game, I'd like it to be said, 'He was a winning head football coach.' Then maybe I can put a feather in my cap.
ability benefit chance doubt seen slump work
I'm going to give Trent the benefit of the doubt and give him a chance to try to work out of this slump that he's in. Because he's a professional and has seen a lot of things, I think he has the ability to work his way out of it.
