completion dumb help nice run
Just when we'd get something going, we'd get a dumb penalty. We'd get a nice run or big completion and then get a penalty. We just didn't help ourselves.
both game great marquee pride run terms test
That's going to be a great test for both sides, ... We take a lot of pride in our run game and they take a lot of pride in their run defense. So that's going to be kind of a marquee matchup in terms of how this game goes.
defense fell fools fools-and-foolishness good guy nice ran route runs trying
He ran such a good route, that when the back fell down I was just trying to put it on him so he could make a play. When a guy runs a route that well and fools a defense so well, it's nice to see.
against anytime credit defense game good johnson knowing larry line obviously offensive oriented run running type
Anytime you're in a game like this and you know it's going to be a grind-it-out, run oriented game, knowing the type of defense that they have and how good they are against the run, obviously give a lot of credit to the offensive line and running back Larry Johnson for that.
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.
passing pounding pressure start took
I think (Black and Bober) did well, ... But when you get that kind of lead, you want to start pounding the ball... . Most of our passing was play-action. That took a lot of pressure off those guys.

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.

brought career carry charge chose coach coming deal direction expected explained felt good great kansas louis memories number numerous occasions onto personal responsibility shared situation starting though three towards tried
From a personal standpoint, I've shared a number of great memories with (Vermeil). I've said this on numerous occasions: he's been in charge of three organizations as a professional coach in his career and on two of those occasions he chose me to be his starting quarterback. So, I feel a great deal towards him, a great deal of responsibility in St. Louis when I was brought into that situation and he told me what was needed. Even though I wasn't able to carry that over onto the field, I felt good about the direction going into that season. Coming here and having it explained what was expected of me and I tried to do all those things. That's what I told him when he got me to Kansas City.

We weren't really happy about it. But we did our job. We focused, and we have to be happy about that. The team took a positive approach.
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.
