I don't think this is the time to go sledding, go out and take on a lot of new projects and model airplanes and all of that.
I don't think we had any major problems on the offensive line. We were all at the game. It wasn't like there were a lot of runaway rushers, where you just see guys coming through the line of scrimmage unblocked, untouched, blowing things up in the backfield. There were times when we got pushed back. There were times when we pushed them a little bit. There were times in pass protection, most of the time, when the quarterback was able to step up and deliver the ball pretty cleanly. In relative terms, it was OK. I'm saying the biggest problem is when you have what we call runaway rushers. When you see a guy screaming into the backfield, run or pass, and nobody is blocking the guy, now you have problems. You certainly want to avoid that.
He's got a skill and we got a chance to let him use it, and I am happy for him. First time since '41. It might be 60 years again, too.
Graham runs well, too. He can get down there. I think overall when those guys are out there, we have an element of the vertical passing game from the tight ends.
I felt that once we got to the 31, 32 yard line, we were in field goal range. We didn't want to get in the situation where we throw a couple incomplete passes and Pittsburgh had another timeout. It's like basketball; we were playing for the last shot.
I don't think there's anything special about where we've taken them or haven't taken them. It just worked out that way. It's not with any intent to take them or not take them. It's kind of how the draft falls, in that particular year, in that particular round.
I don't think that the issue is talent. It's more from a consistency standpoint and being able to gain the experience, and do it competitively the right way every time.
I don't see how you can say anybody is better than them. They haven't lost a game. That's more than anybody else can say.
I don't think Deion has any problem with it. I don't think a lot of our players have a problem with it. They understand what the expectations are of their position and their role, and they want to go out there and fulfill them.
I don't think confidence is a problem. I am sure that every player that played in the game is going to look back on that one and see some plays that they thought they did well on and others that they would like to have back. That goes for everybody.
It's really important to him. He understands what you want to do. If it's not right, then it's important for him to get it right and to figure out exactly where he should be on the play or how he should play it.
It's really important to him, ... He understands what you want to do. If it's not right, then it's important for him to get it right and to figure out exactly where he should be on the play or how he should play it.
It's pretty ridiculous. I don't know (why someone would say that). Talk to whoever thinks that. ... Go talk to the teams that have lost to them and see what they have to say.
It's unique. He's like a little kid, running around out there. He's got a lot of energy. In competitive situations, that flows over to other players. It's not the most orthodox way of playing, but he's productive.
