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.

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 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.
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.
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.
developing focused good practice stay talented
I think we have a pretty good team. We're still young, we still do things defensively that need some explanation at times. We play very hard, we practice well, we stay focused and those are all good signs. We have a lot of talented guys, so if you can keep that focus, we should be pretty good. I think we are developing into a good team.
consistent few guys next rushing special weeks whether
I think we have the makings. We have special guys rushing the passer. Whether we can be consistent and do all the other things, that's what the next few weeks will show.
fortunate guys hard helped miss practice trained worked
Our guys worked hard in the off-season program. They trained well, and we were fortunate to have guys who didn't miss practice and games. That helped our continuity.
gives guys keeps work
Our guys were very disappointed, ... They wanted to keep them out of the end zone, but that gives them something to work on so that probably keeps me smiling.
coach deserve guys happen players
Those guys deserve everything they get. You couldn't coach two players that you would want this to happen for more.
coach deserve guys happen helped players seven system work
Those guys deserve everything they get. They have been in the same system for more than seven years now and that part has really helped them. But they work at it and they're very professional all the way around. You couldn't coach two players that you could want this to happen more. They deserve every accolade because they're professionals on and off the field.
early fourth kept panic played spirits third
We got down early but we didn't panic on the sideline. We kept our spirits up and we played a lot better in the second, third and early in the fourth quarter. We made some big plays. We got the turnovers. We got the momentum.
balls gotten knocked loose win
We've knocked a lot of balls loose and had some fumbles on the ground, but we just haven't gotten them. We've got to keep pressing and persevering because that will not win for us down the stretch.
