added allowing bob corey couple everybody faster guys healthy jackson marlin playing year
We have a couple guys who we added -- Corey Simon, Bob Sanders being healthy all year and playing, and Marlin Jackson -- but more than that, it's just everybody one year better and playing our assignments just a little better that's allowing us to play faster and a little more physical.
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.
backs ball coming defensive fast flow man played playing terms three
They are playing the way they played three years ago in terms of just pressuring the passer and playing a lot more man coverage. I think once those young defensive backs get in a flow in things and get a feel for how fast the ball is coming out, they are going to be even better,
anyone blossoming consistent coverage good league pass playing reflection robert rushing
Robert has been as consistent as anyone in this league rushing the passer, ... Cato is blossoming into a really, really good pass coverage linebacker and that's what we thought he could. I think it's really a reflection of how well they're playing right now.
against bigger playing
He's always been that size, so it's not like he's got to get used to playing against bigger guys. He's always done that, and for him I don't think it really is an issue.
anybody ball best challenge england front mission playing satisfied straight super team tough win won
Our mission is to win a Super Bowl. And we know we've got a very, very tough team in front of us. New England has won about 13 straight and they're playing the best ball of anybody in the league. Going up there is going to be tough. We know what the challenge is, but we're not going to be satisfied just getting to the championship game. We think we've got a team that can win it.
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.
next playing talked year
We have talked all year about playing the next game,
arm certain gets likely playing type worked
He's got a brace that he's comfortable playing in. He's in condition, he's worked at it. It's the type of thing that if he gets his arm in a certain position, that's when it's more likely to be hurt.
conclusion fortunate great guys mike replace rid
Everyone kind of had it a foregone conclusion that Mike wouldn't be back, but you don't just get rid of guys without being able to replace them. We were fortunate that we were able to replace him with a great, great kicker.
great kept passing
They kept us off-balance, made some great passing plays.
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.
again beat guess joey pittsburgh porter tape tough watch
I'm going to have to go back and watch the tape again after what Joey Porter said because I guess I didn't see it the same way he did. But I don't think you can beat Pittsburgh without being a tough team.
fix personnel season
I'm full-speed ahead. We're disappointed with how the season ended, we've got some things to fix and some personnel issues, but we're getting started on them.
