I feel good for Dennis to make some plays. He's wanted to be a playmaker and he knew he could do it and we knew he could do it. The pass play for the touchdown was a big momentum play for us.

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.

So if you can get a backup tackle that you like and that has some upside, I think you can go ahead and make that move.
asking block guys letting miss somebody
I've thought about the possibility of not asking those guys to block at all, ... When we try to block, that's when we get the penalties. I've thought about not asking them to block and just letting Dennis making somebody miss on his own.
bad feeling gut
It would have to be my gut feeling. If I got a real bad feeling about the way it was going and I wanted to make a change, that's what it would be.

As I have found out, we were supposed to let the NFL know as soon as we found out. We did let the NFL know, but there is some question about whether it was soon enough or not. They are reviewing the incident, and they will make a ruling on it at some point.
