ball bit certainly commitment left maybe playing run sharper
I think (the Steelers) are playing a little bit sharper and maybe with a little bit more resolve. I think they made a commitment to run the ball when they left here, and they're certainly doing it very well.
bit good locker room talked team
We talked about that a little bit in the locker room tonight. We're a good team and we're good when we play our game,
bit energy good last legs maybe offset played practiced quickness sharp sunday week
We're probably not as sharp as we would have been had we practiced all of last week and played a game, but I think by Sunday we're going to be fine. I think the energy and the quickness and the legs we had will more than offset the little bit of maybe not as good timing.
against beat bit defend emotion emotions hopefully
Hopefully we can defend that a little bit better. But they play well and they play with a lot of emotion when they play against us. We've got to be able to beat them.
afternoon bit gave problem
He had a little problem getting loose, but we think he'll be fine. We gave him a little bit of the afternoon off.
bit ended great guys inside overload rushing teams utilize
They've got great quickness; they're a little bit undersized for their position, but they utilize their speed, ... We've got other guys inside that have ended up rushing well for us so that teams can't overload on them.
guys
We used our quickness, ... I think that let our guys know that was going to be our edge.
blocked blocking call corey familiar good job larry last learn offensive rushing schemes sunday
You have to learn offensive blocking schemes and especially when rushing the passer you get blocked differently, ... Larry had to call some (assignments) for us on Sunday with Corey not as familiar with what we're doing. Montae has always done that the last two years. Larry did a good job of getting us into some of the right things.
september week win
You don't win championships in September or October. You don't win them in week eight. You don't win them with one game.
against beat coming cut deal everybody game hopefully houston landmark playing point practice recognize second short team tough week win work
You don't win championships in September, obviously. You don't win them in Week 8. You don't win them with one game. This is going to be a tough deal for us to come back. Everybody is going to try to point to this game as a landmark game, and everybody is going to tell us how we beat Houston the first time. Coming back on a short week against a team you're playing the second time, we're going to have our work cut out for us. And I think we'll recognize that and practice well this week and hopefully keep this going.
advantage allowed beat denver jump last playoffs start toward
Even last year, when we were 12-4, we didn't get the bye week, and we had to beat Denver in the playoffs before we ever got to New England, ... That was a disadvantage for us, and an advantage for them. This start we've had has allowed us to get a jump toward getting that first-round bye, which is a real goal.

As soon as I saw it I smiled, because I knew that's what he was responding to.

We need to get him in some early downs.
