good timing
I feel good with where the timing is.
direction few figured fourth heard middle minutes pittsburgh quarter talking
No one was talking about it on the sidelines, you figured that was the direction it was going. About the middle of the fourth quarter I went up to someone on the sidelines, I heard Pittsburgh was up 14 with only a few minutes to go. I figured it was the way it was going to go.
great measure point
It's a great way to measure where we are at this point of the season,
blood doctors freak recently since stopped sure taking torn
It may have been torn since then but recently tore more. We're not really sure but I'm completely fine. I stopped taking blood thinners recently and the doctors said I'll be fine. It was just a freak thing.
mud second snap
It was really bad. Especially in the second half, every snap there was pretty much mud caked all over the ball.
hard hits knowing sort taken turns twists
That's the hard part for me is not knowing how it happened. I really haven't taken any sort of hits or uncomfortable twists or turns or anything like that that could have done it.
backup bad ball coach coming drive moving situation understand
With the quarterback situation like it is right now, we don't know what it's going to be from a backup standpoint. Then we scored on the first drive and were moving the ball and the one bad play. So we said, 'You know what? Everything's moving pretty good. Why take any chances?' I understand where coach is coming from.
chances crazy fact good happen remains
I don't know how good our chances are. But the fact remains we're still alive. Crazy things happen all the time.
action black good rush willie
We called more play action with Willie out. That slowed down their rush a little bit. But Black did a good job.

He was asking questions of everybody to see what everybody thought, what everybody's attitude was, ... No matter how that play ended up, that's where you have to send a message on a football team and I think that was great on his part to have the confidence in us.
home last success tough
We know it's going to be a tough game. They've had a lot of success in home openers over the last decade, and we know we're going to get their best.
ball behind biggest early effective fall five four heels last mix run running
Our biggest thing is we can't fall behind early like we did. We can't become predictable on offense. Where we have had effectiveness over the last four or five years is when we can mix up the run and the pass. When we are effective running the ball then we can get our play-action going. We can get our drop-back going. We keep defenses on their heels and keep them off-balance because they don't know where we're coming.
ball blowing difference field half harder kicked mud raining resting second though time torn wind
I think the first half was a lot more manageable, even though it was raining harder and the wind was blowing harder. But as the field was torn up, with the ball resting in the mud every time you could get the snap, there was pretty much mud kicked on the ball so it made a big difference in the second half.
