ability either great limited middle pittsburgh
Pittsburgh was a great place. I was limited to just play in the middle of the field, but I have the ability to play either safety.
game time
We had to win, so we went out and did it. But it has to be about one game at a time from here on in.
conference determine far king trying
Our rivalries are the conference games. But as far as trying to determine who's king of the hill, the Patriots are the king.
careful cause chad focusing full goal johnson might problems team
Our goal is to keep him from making big plays, but you also have to be careful with focusing everything on him. Because the thing is, they have a team full of stars. (Running back) Rudi Johnson might get going while you're focusing on Chad, then you go after Rudi, and Chad comes back and strikes. He can cause a lot of problems for you.
business cash few love open opportunity smart window worry
I would love to be back. It's not about me all the time. But, then again, you do have to worry about yourself because this is a business in which you get few opportunities. The window of opportunity isn't open very long for you to cash in. You've got to be smart about it.
attention best challenge crowd guys love
We love the challenge of it. It's when we play our best football. Guys are more focused. We can go in there and take the crowd out of it. We like that pressure. It allows us more attention to detail.

Troy is different. He is not what people think of as your typical professional athlete.

We'll see some screens and throws to the running backs. I'm sure Travis Henry and Chris Brown can catch very well.
last
When we went up to Indianapolis the last time, the whole thing was, the Steelers are going to out-physical the Colts.
cost couple missed played stop
I don't think we played real well as a defense. We missed a lot of tackles and played over-aggressive. We missed a couple of assignments here and there. We didn't do it consistently enough where it cost us, but we also didn't consistently stop them, either.
built
He's built like Terrell Owens, but probably a whole lot faster.
felt game games lose opportunity schedule win
He felt like we had our opportunities to win the game and that's the frustrating part about it. You look at the schedule and it doesn't get any easier. You lose the games you had every opportunity to win on the field, you can't get that back.
best game offense played treat win
We treat every game like we got to win it one way or another. There have been times when the offense bailed us out. There have been times when we didn't play our best and the offense played their best.
